Sinister: The list's favourite B&S song?
Hi there all. You may remember about a month ago, I posted asking people to send me their favourite three B&S songs, and Id compile a Sinister chart as it were, pre-album and pre-single release. And successful it has been. I had about 250 votes, which accounts for around one fifth of the list, and although there were those who just wrote to me to tell me that it was a stupid idea, the results are pretty interesting. When a song was placed first, it got 3 points, placed second it got 2 points, and last it got 1 point. You get the idea. Well then, without further ado, Ill open the little envelope to say what the lists 10 favourite (and least favourite) songs are: SAVE THESE FOR THE ENCORES, GUYS 10. Shes Losing It (36) 9. We Rule The School (41) 8. Dirty Dream Number Two (42) 7. Sleep The Clock Around (45) 6. Like Dylan In The Movies (46) 5. Lazy Line Painter Jane (54) 4. My Wandering Days Are Over (65) 3. Slow Graffiti (78) 2. The State That I Am In (91) 1. Get Me Away From Here, Im Dying (138) AND LEAVE THESE OFF THE SETLIST 10. Mayfly (8) 9. I Dont Love Anyone (7) 7=. Seymour Stein (6) 7=. A Space Boy Dream (6) 6. The Rollercoaster Ride (5) 5. Electronic Renaissance (4) 4. It Could Have Been A Brilliant Career (2) 3. You Made Me Forget My Dreams (1) 1=. The Gate (0) 1=. Chickfactor (0) Well there you go. Make of that what you will. The only really big thing is that GMAFHID is the lists favourite song by FAR. But still interesting. Anyway, enjoy and discuss Love, Sam.x "Bad times will pour sugar in you gas tank and shave off both your eyebrows whilst dating your current boy- or girlfriend behind your back, and billing the dinner and hotel room to your Visa card" - Laika ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.

thats what legal man is like. I think brian said that, I noticed it the other night too. its the velvet underground song w/ the most belle and sebastian content. possibly. but I'm no expert. my exams are nearly over. I waited for them for two years and they were such an anti climax. but I learned one or two things: most literature before the 17th century I have no interest in. Most literature from the early 20th century I have more interest in than anything else. Maybe because most of its fun-ly depressing. I still hate maths after doing it for about 14 years. c'est tout. I am kinda shocked that chickfactor did so badly in teh poll of sam's when its so fucking great... you're all wrong. Nyah. + thanks to vilkas, jason andreas and caroline for your mogwai definitions. personally I still can't define mogwai but they're a great pre exam calmer. I was trying to explain what music I like to a chart music liking friend today while my corporate punk rock loving 'alternative' other friend was there too. She explained my taste as being 'over there', which pissed me off. Other people will understand on the list and have possibly had the same boring experience, or maybe not. You can't all be indie snobs. Especially since b+s are now a... chart band. eek. the chalet lines controversy... I don't think its cliched or gratitious or tactless or insulting to women *and I am one...* at all. Stuart is one of the only boys in bands that sell anything at all that can come from the point of view of a woman rather than coming at them, and I know what a bad and foul pun that is. Sorry. But seriously, in comparison to other top 20 dwelling dickheads like Blink 182? the whole horrible blink 182 and korn and bloodhound gang thing is really distressing. They sell loads but say 5 years ago they would have been fucking pilloried for the kind of crap they come out with. thats insulting to women, the fact that they can get away with what they say so easily and are just treated as some kind of post pc comical thing. Same with eminem. Its more insulting to women that in music we're still expected to be singers and performers instead of musicians, and therefore people are freaked by the idea of all female bands w/ guitars or decks but girl bands and britney clones sell millions. anyway, rant over... nessa +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
