RE: Sinister: Ease your shaved head into the sea !
Is Struan also the new name of Shaved Stuart ? Oh god ! Is it possible that Andre may not have seen Stuart on Hyndland road at all, and it was perhaps Duncan Goodhew, Telly Savalas or maybe even Yul Brynner (Oooon may be able to sort us out on that one). As far as I'm aware they're still in America, the word last night from Anne I believe was that the newest megastar in the B+S camp, DJ Doctor Divine "the Spinmaster" Symington was coming back on Saturday the 7th from America, as is Mick from whom the date the 7th came completely separately. I'm sure Ian will be able to confirm this one... so unless Stuart came back separately from all the rest, I think it's basically definite that Andre actually saw someone else who was famous and bald, such as perhaps Errol Brown from Hot Chocolate. We went to see Air last night at the Fruitmarket in Glasgow, and it were great, keep up the good work frogs! They did wind up playing bits from "Funkytown" by Lipps Inc. and "Are Friends Electric?" by Gary Numan, plus a strange version of Tomorrow Never Knows, but their own stuff was definitely the best, really good. The frogs really have it wrapped up at the moment with the liked of Air, Kid Loco, Motorbass, La Funk Mob, Daft Punk etc, really great. Tag will be loving it, cause as we all know he's a huge fan of French music, like Jean Michelle Jarre, and Johnny Halliday. Mick McMick, you would be wise to believe the young lad Leonard when he says that B+S did indeed play Turn Turn Turn at the church, we've got a tape of it for a kick off - or at least, it's a tape of me and Chris singing along to the hymn but strategically substituting rude words along the way. Carrick, I think your hair worries are now over, looking like Roger Daltrey just after he stopped using Dippety Doo, and like Chris Hillman stopped the perhaps slightly more dangerous tack of ironing his hair, thet both looked cool, for all that though, I still think you should go for the 70's Daltrey look, where you could grow your hair longer, dress up as a red indian and affect a kind of marching on the spot dance whilst walking down the street. Indeed Peter, sorry to be late on this one but Matey boy Keith Moon did indeed collapse at the cow palace, this was because some bloke offered him a drug which he said was a very strong animal tranquilizer, he was told to take only half of it, but of course he shouts "Rubbish! I'm Keith Moon" and necks the whole thing. Later it is found out in hospital, that this drug is the sort of thing you load up into a rifle and shoot a rhinocerouces to knock them out.

Listees, <snipity snip snip>

As far as I know, The majority of the band were coming back tuesdaywednesday-ish; Mick, and one or two others (Richard? Chris?) were going to stay on in NY for a few days, and will be back on the 7th as Keith says. So it could have been Stuart getting into his Hallowe'en costume a bit late and doing a fine slaphead impression whilst scaring the locals. Either that or the sudden increase in screaming fans storming the church hall has caused him to go out in disguise.... Philippe did say:
I am sooooo sad that I will...I will... shave my head TOO !!!!
How about starting a spin-off hardcore group of B&S fans who all wear shiny silver trousers and shave their heads? I'm game ;)
jennifer scrawled: ahh philippe you broke a million hearts "confirming" the fact that stuart m and isobel are a couple! *sigh* i guess i will have to start dreaming about other boys at night! well there is always mick cook! he is quite dashing! :)
Ooh, I'd love to comment on this Stuart/ Isobel thing, but I'd get into trouble. And Mick is already spoken for too, sorry jen. His 50's golfers trousers are a veritable babe magnet - must borrow them next time I'm out on the town. Ian PS I thought I'd throw in one of these to join in with the others: unsubscribe sinister +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".

Alright, alright, I concede, there is no shadow of doubt in any of the cockles of my heart. And I concede to you, Chris, as well. Ohp! I just noticed a shadow of doubt in the cockle that's sort of a bit to the left and at the bottom...yes, that one. Hm, let me see...there, I've got it now, my cockles are doubt-free.

First of all, isn't Yul Brynner dead? Maybe what Andre saw was the *GHOST* of Yul Brynner, who had recently become a large Gnashing Kumquats fan. Sorry but I'm not sure if that's how one spells cumkwat, but perhaps if I spell it differently every time I say it, sooner or later I'll get it right. Anyway, as a little birdie told me, the rest of the band was at the Cornelius show last night, except for Stuart M and ISOBEL! So perhaps she also went back to help with "mixing"? All sorts of bad porn-like mixing lines come to mind at the moment, but I'll spare you all from those thoughts. a Duran Duran fan quoth:
since this is my first post, i must provide the obligatory "that question has already been answered a thousand times" question. it's not even a very interesting question....but i'll ask anyways. 'cause i'm curious and that's good enough for me. here goes...in the sessions version of "seeing other people" (the slooooooow version), are stuart and isobel also trading verses with stevie??? listening to it again last night in traffic i could've sworn that one of the verses was sung > by stevie's fine baritone rather than stuart's dulcet tenor? am i mistaken? does it even matter? prolly not.
Stevie's in there, you're right. They each take a verse, and if memory serves me well it goes Stevie, Stuart, Isobel, and then all of them together. And finally, in honor of Robin's utterly amusing story, I present to you an Ink Polaroid, written entirely with my nose, without the use of a "backspace" or "delete" key: yyeere i am, my baccckji is huuuuunched ovfer anjhd my neckj hyurt6s. obviouuskly i'm typinjg with nhose,, but it iis p-ainfull so i'lol stop now. Hm, not bad. Reminds me of when I was very very little and my parents used to sit me in front of a typewriter, and tell me to type a letter to my grandmother. Of course at this age, I couldn't spell, read, or write without a typewriter, much less with one. But it was quite fun to go banging away at those keys. After I was done, my parents would remove the paper and try to find actual words that I had accidentally written. I recall they were very amused once when I wrote something like "fart." Now you see what I had to work with? It's no wonder I turned out like this. It reminds me of the scenario where you sit an infinite number of monkeys (not Monkees, note you, because there're only four of those) at an infinite number of typewriters, eventually one will write one of the great works of Shakespeare. Needless to say, I wrote no Shakespearian plays, nor any sonnets.
