Wahay, So who are all going to the Sat/Sunday gigs in December? I'm living in Leeds at the moment but I'll be travelling down from good ole Glasgow for the gigs. Any ideas of meeting up for travelling / accomodation / hostels / cafes / things? Is there definitely not a third gig?

Sinister: I dunno, young people today, gawd 'elp us if there's a war on
by mctag＠mcmail.com 07 Nov '97

07 Nov '97

Hello everybody, Not strictly a B&S thing, but relevant to the list, I hope.... I've noticed a bit of a trend with the younger members of our extended family of frustration with references to bands they nothing about, especially in the 'claim to fame' department, and a fear of showing themselves up in case they get tut-tutted by more knowledgable people. I also noticed one person's notion that it was the older people who had the more esoteric taste. What I want to say is, firstly, if I've ever gone on about someone relatively unknown and alienated someone, I'm sorry. I'm an old fart by the standards of this list (but young at heart, of course, and only a few months older than Stuart Murdoch), and so it's kind of inevitable that some things I love are from before someone else's time. But I'll also say that I'm learning all the time, I certainly don't feel an authority on everything, and my taste evolves constantly, thanks to the recommendations of others, or from tapes people have done for me, or whatever, as well as things I've found myself. And I don't believe that it's entirely an age thing. I've learnt of loads of things I've missed by people several years my junior, especially things from other countries, lots of ace French, German, Japanese, American and Scaninavian pop. As Keith said, anyone who judges people younger than themselves for lack of knowledge has problems of their own. I know there are people who contribute more regularly than others, but this shouldn't turn into an old boy network. Hopefully, this can be a sharing thing, an open-minded thing, where kids of all ages can offer opinions and options without being sneered at (ugh, I sound like a hippy, but you know what I mean).

by princess rachel 07 Nov '97

hi i'm rachel, i'm 25 years old, a brunette and i live on long island, that mall filled suburb of NYC. i'm a leo and to make money i make jewelry, so that would make me a jeweler. i live in NY and London, its a glamorous life but someone has to do it. claims to fame...i have loads. i went to high school with the long island lolita herself, amy fisher. i also have loose contacts with joel rifkin...yet another serial killer (what is it with me and people who murder???) umm...as for positive claims to fame, well lets see. i ate pickles with damon albarn in my friends kitchen once while members of radiohead stood closeby (damon prefers half sours by the way...) i watched marilyn manson dance with michael stipe while courtney love and helena christianson were having a chat. i ordered a drink next to madonna and lenny kravitz, walkled to a couch to find my sister and found here chatting with larry mullen jr from U2 about being short. interrupted by 2 beastie boys wanting to talk to my friend and ummm... oh yes...the most important thing, that ginger one out of space tried tp stay in my hotel room at the ramada during the reading festival. like he couldn't get his own hotel room! duh. its true. strange but true. rachel. the glamorous ligger. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

RE: Sinister: autobiographies

1. Why do B&S thank Alan Rankine on Tigermilk? and is Billy McKenzie's solo album any good? [Keith Watson] Alan Rankine financed the release of Tigermilk or so I believe, Electric Honey is his label... Secondly, no idea, but I too would like to know - it has had good reviews, but then given the circumstances I think it'd be one of these forgone conclusion reviews. 2. My ex-boyfriend Fraser procured me a "Judy and the Dream of Horses" mug. Does anyone else have one? I heard there were only a few produced. [Keith Watson] Only a few indeed, Isobel designed them. Hope that's of help Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: NYC gig
by princess rachel 07 Nov '97

07 Nov '97

i as well was at the NYC gig and the sessions taping along with my boyfriend (hi JJ) and i just wanted to share my feelings about it and i have to warn all you people that it has little to do with belle and sebastian...and at the same time it has everything to do with belle and sebastian. i am a nice jewish girl from Long Island and my family history is sort of non existant. my family going back about 100 years has lived in manhattan, brooklyn and then long island (which back in those days was vaguely suburban unlike the strip mall it is these days.) after the holocaust our family history was basically destroyed along with the small villages my great-great-great people came from, and the lower east side of NYC has become our history, the place where my family is from. point being here that one day, maybe 60 or 70 years ago my family members went to that synogogue to worship, to socialize and to raise their family with their beliefs and all that stuff. so in addition to my amazement of belle and sebastian playing there, where my forefathers once trod (oh gosh this is cheeesy) it was a very wonderful experience. for myself and JJ it was the 4th and 5th times of seeing the band (we first saw them in glasgow in march, then in London and then in NYC...) but everytime seeing them reminds me of the first time i ever heard them. i don't remember the set list. and i think that every synogogue should have disco balls in the ark. remind me to tell that to my rabbi. rachel. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Modern Rock Song chords/lyrics
by Dazza 07 Nov '97

07 Nov '97

Just A Modern Rock Song C# C# Emma tried to run away G# I followed her across the city F# She went out to the easter house [?] C# Cause she liked the sound of it She didn't have a single penny She stuck a finger in the air She's trying to flag down an aeroplane I suppose she needs a holiday I put my arm around her waist She put me on the ground with judo She didn't recognise my face She wasn't even looking Laura's feeling just ideal Her horoscope was nearly perfect She's thinking of something to do Cause she is the birthday girl She went out to the edge of town Where she saw me lying in the park She took Emma by the hand They've got a lot in common So I leave them to do what they want And I leave them to do what they need to I'll go and play with words and pictures I'll admit I'm feeling strange instrumental verse x4 I'm not as sad as Dostoyevsky And I'm not as clever as Mark Twain And I'll only buy a book for the way it looks And then I'll stick it on the shelf again Well I could tell you what I'm thinking But it never seems to do you good It's beyond me what a girl can see [?] when I'm riding buses This is just a modern rock song This is just a sorry lament We're four boys in a [???] We're not terrific but we're competent Me I'm full of good intentions Richie's into rock and roll Stuart's staying in and he thinks it's a sin If he has to leave the house at all This is just a modern rock song This is just a tender affair Count three, four, we start to slow Because a song has got to stop somewhere [?] = lyrics I'm particularly mystified by or unable to hear. Can anyone help? cheers Dazza ************ Tick, tick, tick, the machine continued. Time was passing. The audience was wandering, dispersing. Only the tick tick of the gramophone held them together. ************ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: seeing other people
by mjouan＠previewtravel.com 06 Nov '97

06 Nov '97

>Now a question for you all: the song "Seeing other people", I read in a >review a while back that it was about an adolescent gay boy and a straight >girl, but I've gone over the lyrics again and again and I still can't >understand where this reviewer could get that the boy was homosexual. Am I >missing something here? Or is the reviewer just off in the deep end? i can see it. it depends on who you consider the narrator and who you consider to whom the narrator is singing. >We lay on the bed there >Kissing just for practice >Could we please be objective? >Cause the other boys are queuing up behind us above, it could be a boy singing. let's say he's singing to a girl. they other boys are allegorically lining up to see both of them. >A hand over my mouth >A hand over the window >Well, if I remain passive and you just want to cuddle >Then we should be ok, and we won't get in a muddle >Cause we're seeing other people >At least that's what we say we are doing it seems that the narrator is confused about who they really like and what they are doing. >How are you feeling? >I don't think you can be dealing >With the situation very well >You take a lover for a dirty weekend, that's ok >But when it's over >You are looking at the working week in the eyes of a gigolo now is it my imagination, or is someone else singing this verse? it could be the first boy's boyfriend. (?) >You're kissing your elbow >You're kissing your reflection *implies* he's kissing another boy >But if they don't see the quality then it is apparent that >You're going to have to change >Or you're going to have to go with girls >You might be better off >At least they know where to put it the person who is singing (in the sessions case, is a girl) seems to be telling the other person that if they can't get all they need out of a relationship, maybe they should try going out with girls. but, again, it's not clear whether it's a boy singing to a boy or to a girl. [or a girl singing to a boy.] to ME, this song is about being young and confused about relationships and sexuality. there are some (seemingly deliberate) blurring of the sexuality lines in this song. that is why i love it so. it reminds me of early smiths music where things were a bit...ambiguous. but not so ambiguous that it was very difficult to understand. does that make any sense? i hope so. :) michelle ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
