Sinister: Who's That On The Bill, Then?
Hi All (especially Peter), Apologies twice. Firstly about the duff gen about The Flaming Lips, it was of course The Flaming Stars on John Peel on Tuesday night. (Son James misheard. He is however an expert on things Cay, Idlewild & SFA.) The Flaming Stars are always worth a listen, though, & Max Decharne's book "I Was A Teenage Wharehouse" is a laugh as well. Secondly, for the message about Roger Daltrey being on the Bill in June: its actually tonight, & yes, I will record it for Mr Miller :) Other stuff: Andydean wrote (to be later trumped by Tag): cover versions? we got um... stevie did the guitar bit from the start of 'circle sky' in glasgow & he also sang nearly all of Dylan's "Like A Rolling Stone" during a farting around between songs bit at The Union Chapel Mike, can I offer a Thai Fact, in the absence of one of yours? Two new rain-making aircraft are now based at Don Muang airport, and were exchanged for 101,000 tons of rice as part of a barter deal with Indonesia .

Anybody see it then? I did. Well, bits of it at least, inbetween remastering my mate's Manic Hedgehog Radiohead tapes on Cool Edit Pro. Now, I'm no authority on what constitutes a good acting performance, or a bad one, for that matter, but from what I saw, Sister Disco's premier pop idol did himself proud. Either that or the poor bloke actually *is* a drug-addled nutcase. Anyway, moving swiftly towards a thread of conversation with a more on-topic bent (just in case List Mummy bollocks us for talking about tellyvishun programmes again), I was one of the few people on the list to hear Tigermilk for the first time in it's spanking-new digital format. I know, I know, shock, horror, cor blimey guvnor, stone the crows, christ-on-a-bike, shite-and-onions and all that. It's just that before I joined the list I happened to know of precisely sod-all people with even a three-hundred-and-somethingth generation scratchy analogue copy, and by the time I joined the list I already knew of its impending re-release, so it seemed a bit rude (and possibly a tad pointless) to ask. Well, unsurprisingly enough, all that waiting was absoblimminlutelymostdefinitely worth it. I don't think it has taken over from IYFS as my fave yet, but that's possibly because I have listened to the latter a lot more over a much longer period of time. One of the main things I wanted to do in this mail was to throw in my two-penneth into the gushing fountain of debate that is Electronic Renaissance. Does anyone else think that ER cements the comparisons between B&S and the Field Mice?? What I mean is that both use(d) fragile guitar-pop as their mainstay, and now I realise that they both at one point or other have done a small bit of quite similar electronicky synth-driven buggering-about. I think the Field Mice track in question is "Missing the Moon". Not sure about this, cause I haven't got a copy of the CD with me, but there is definitely at least one of their tracks that shuffles off in the same musical direction as the much-maligned, side-one-ending Tigermilk track. Just an opinion, of course, but it makes perfect sense to me. Also, I can't help feeling that bits of ER are quite similar to Sleep the Clock around. Discuss. Here endeth another epistle to the apostles, lol p xx. -- -----------------------------*||*-------------------------------- "Reality never seems to work out quite the way you want it to..."
