Sinister: cartoon....
by Northy 11 Jan '98

11 Jan '98

Isn't it funny that if you put a group of students in a room, they will always end up talking about the cartoons they watched when they were young? I noticed that they do.... On the subject of cartoons... I think that Belle & Sebastian should be called Pink Panther 'cause that was a great cartoon. Convert Count 1 (but trying harder) Northy......

Tut tut. I went to one of their gigs in April and the guy-whose-dad-is-a-priest-or-something-out-of-the-divine-comedy was there, looking extremly short... And talking of famous people I can indeed confirm that Jarvis Coker is a bit of a B$S fan coz me& friends bumped into him in the loos at the Union Chapel gig (after having first accidentally walked in on the mens' loos- it really was an accident an non of the blokes seemed to mind too much....) Anyway, whilst at this said Union Chapel gig my best-friend confided to me that she found Stuart M quite attractive. After almost choking on my drink, I asked why. She revealed that it was in fact his dimples which were so alluring... (Me, I liked the trumpet-blowing-cutie whose name i don't know) Love the up-till-now-secretly-lurking- Yaz PS Ben, Triumphant chorus of "We love you, we do, we love you Ben, we do " x10 Thankx & love from many north london Tigermilk-brandishing Belle &Seb converts. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

John Prine would be my preferred alternative, but sans electrification. He was fucking brilliant at Glastonbury three years ago. Randy Crawford soundtracked my summer with her 'Secret Combination' CD. WC and the Maad Circle's Curb Servin' continues to amuse me, in every possible sense. Jimmy Smith's 'Home Cooking' er, cooks. Lost my favourite Drifters CD, but ain't lost my Irma Thomas vinyl. Towering above all of 'em though is George 'No Show' Jones.

Admittedly it's the wee small hours of Sunday morning after two heavy nights on the bevies, but I can't quite see it meself. Only links my (temporarily, honest) addled brain can come up with are the distinctive singing and the 'clever' lyrical content. But they're pretty different variations on the two themes. Then again, 'Country' covers a whole swathe of music from shit to shinola and back again. If you think Gram Parsons 'She' or 'A Song for You' or ''Hickory Wind' or plenty of others and then think B & S maybe you notice the ability to take 'mundane' subject matter and fashion something that touches nerves. Gotta stop now 'cos I'm making a bad job of doing the Dook's job. night night evabody yerluvinunvleTurt ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: aftershow apologies

On Fri, 9 Jan 1998, the tallest man in the world wrote: >So then we trundled off to the aftershow, in a ridiculously small >room the other side of town (1 person behind the bar, about 100 people >waiting to be served...). A distinct lack of Jarvis-size celebrities this >time. Oh yeah, sorry about that. We never expected so many people. The landlord opened the place especially cos all his staff were at party and he had to get friends in to work. They did open the bar downstairs, but they may just have serving the group, I'm not sure - not my decision. Chris probably kept them busy single handedly. Can't do much about the lack of celebs, I was kind of hoping smashing music and happy revellers would be enough??
