ha ha, yeah, i've been thinking that for weeks! i was too embarassed to say ;-) [Keith Watson] Just reminds me of that thing when Bowie got everyone to vote for what songs he'd play on his "Sound and Vision" tour 1990 - and NME encouraged everyone to phone in and vote for the Laughing Gnome! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I wouldn't have said Jeff Buckley was country influenced. He was more sort of dreamy Led Zep sort of Sting kind of Ella Fitzgerald. He had one of the most incredible voices that I've ever heard. I was lucky enough to see him in 1995 and he was splendid. I always thought he would go on to be a total megastar cos he pretty much had it all - songs, voice, looks you know. Such a waste upsets me greatly. <pause> I'll have to lighten the mood now Q. What did the gardener do to his trumpet plant? A.

Sinister: pastie and site help needed
by David & Katrina 14 Oct '97

14 Oct '97

someone asked what "...pastie..." meant but I've forgotton who. The whole title means something along the line of, "the apathy of the aristocracy" but I could be wrong. -- Anyway the second bit of the subject line: I'm considering ripping the design of my site to shreds and doing something decent for once. To do this I need some help from someone with graphics abilities and maybe also a graphic designer. All the HTML and gimmicks should be just within my capabilities, so if you're any good with JPG's and GIF's and Animated things, please get in touch (I don't need apps, I just need designers!). Thanks David Kitchen Belle and Seabstian Fan Club PS: we can't pay you for it! but you'll get a credit on the entrance :) -- ******************************************************************** http://www.totalweb.co.uk/bluesoda/Belleandsebastian.htm mailto:bluesoda@totalweb.co.uk ******************************************************************** ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I went to see David Lee Roth when I was 13. He sang california girls and rode round the Hall on a giant inflatable microphone. He was brilliant. I think it would be nice if B & S got some of those pantomime wires on stage so that they could fly about like Bon Jovi in the "Livin on A Prayer" video. I always enjoy it when pop stars do that. P.S. Im getting upset with my e-mail - it's so slow. It takes like a day for anyone to recieve my letters after I've sent them, and you've all started talking about something else by the time mine arrives. I'm on the huff. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: John Denver
by Andrew O'Sullivan 14 Oct '97

14 Oct '97

> Who liked John Denver? I did. "Leaving On a Jet Plane" is my kareoke > piece. Jeff Buckley and John Denver in the one year. bummer. Hmm.......I like [in the present] John Denver a great deal; I don't know half as much of that kind of music as I know I, and everyone, should know, but yes it's a shame he's died. However, I wasn't too distraught seeing as I certainly don't remember him releasing anything during my lifetime, so it's not really a great personal loss. However, I did listen to some of his 'Greatest Hits' yesterday; 'Follow Me' is truly a wonderful song. And the duet he did with Placedo Domingo works frighteningly well. A bit of history from the Obituary I scanned in a free second today - Leaving on a Jet Plane was pretty much his first released material - it was soon covered by the bizzare trio of Peter, Paul and Mary [Haha! - Remember?], which gained him some reputation and his first album sold well as a result. Then his first big solo thing was This was all, what, early-mid70s? Jeff Buckley I know nothing about. He certainly sounds intersting, but then people are hardly likely to understate someone's talent after they died, are they? But is he basically country-influenced, only I take it more 'modern' than someone like Denver, or James Taylor, who is the other singer-songwriter who I know quite well......? * * * * * Andrew O'Sullivan aeos(a)dial.pipex.com http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/osullivan "It's one for the money, two for the money, three for the money." * * * * * ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Are we all bourgeoisie now?!
by klas.ericsson＠student.jmg.gu.se 14 Oct '97

14 Oct '97

Hi everyone! Wanted: More discussion about lyrics... I just started thinking yesterday ( for the first time - ha ha. If anyone wanted to get a sarcastic shot at this staement, well I beat you to it:-)), when I got the new Ep, about "Le pastie...". First I thought it was a ordinary "you´re so lonely, nobody understands you and they are evil and so buorgeoise or what ever it´s spelled"-kinda song (just like the great favourite "Expectations"). But then isn´t "Le pastie" a song thats quite mean to the "you"-figure in the song, with the singer being quite sarcastic about the goodness and specialness of the spolied Bourgeoisie-brat who just wants to get away, spending her time reading Salinger and Kerouac? I don´t know, maybe this is clear for everyone, but I find it quite interesting as "Le pastie" must be the most "agressive" B&S song since "Me and the major". And in that case quite agressive to B&S fans too, i suppose:-) Maybe I should just have gone to bed after watching "Friends" yesterday instead of staying up all night with the new EP...? (yes you should have - ha ha. I`ve beaten you again) ///Chandler Bing ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: re: Young Turks
by Francisco Alberto Wong 14 Oct '97

14 Oct '97

While everyone seems to be putting their two cents in, and all the head-bangers are being outed, I remember my two brothers and myself being driven to the local college (Stony Brook) to check out Quiet Riot. I musta been seven or eight, but it was my first concert ever. It was too loud and I remained seated along with another woman and we both plugged napkins into our ears while everyone else rushed the stage. I couldn't really see anything, but the highlight was when the drummer threw his drumstick and it struck me in the chest. I was too stunned to make a grab for it. B+S stuff: And any truth to the news that the 3 eps will be released in america with new tracks? When's the next lp due? that's it for me francisco ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: arse, arse
by Andrew Dean 14 Oct '97

14 Oct '97

didn't go into town this dinnertime, thought i'd skip work early and go and buy the new ep then. have just been told by one of my spies that the virgin meagrestore had a whole one copy left when he was there. (still bloody hundreds of the spice girls cds left though) looks like it's time to stop messing around and have tomorrow morning off in order to pop to watford where they may still have copies left. or should i go the whole hog and go to london on the off-chance that they're sold out in watford too. decisions, decisions. not heard the recent session yet either - i'm obviously not a true fan... woe, woe, woe is me oh, i did notice this morning that the start of 'slow graffiti' sounds a lot like the start of 'laughing gnome' - 'i was walking, down the high street, when i heard footsteps behind me...' andy oh, jennifer, i'm waiting on a tape of the sessions before sending it back to you, everything else is done. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: my favourite track
by R.E.W. Butler 14 Oct '97

14 Oct '97

the first time i heard the single, i liked 'le pastie..' the most - i had heard it before off the internet. i'm not sure exactly, but i think my favourite has to be 'beautiful' now, because it's, well, beautiful, to put it simply. i can't get over how wonderful the ep is - there is another one coming out quite soon, isn't there - does anyone know what it's called? what about the album - someone must know something about it - there have been missives all today and yesterday speculating on what it'll be like. i guess we just have to wait and see. love, Rob p.s. thanks to everyone who's mailed me over the last couple of days - i really appreciate it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
