Sinister: Albert and his Hall.Or Nothing.
by Essexdog5 14 Jan '98

14 Jan '98

Greetings, anoraksters! Mark (whoever he may be) wrote: "And it's not poncey, it's just like any other hall except is called the 'ROYAL' Albert Hall. And the person who said backstage was grotty was absolutely right." Yes, it's a hideous venue, and the sound is awful. I spent a delightful hour backstage there with Ant & Dec and Code Red, for my sins, and I can confirm that it's both choddy and piketastic in a very very chilly kinda fashion. B&S in that venue would be a VERY bad idea. How about Docklands Arena? <ggggg> Maybe St Pauls would be the perfect venue? NB, if B&S do indeed happen to read this 'stuff', I write the music section on Teletext Channel 4 (yes, you can stop smirking now, thankyew... it pays well, I promise. And I used to write for the Mirror - tabloidtastic! - and Select, AND I was the official fashion 'expert' for various radio and TV shows..... what was that Blackstreet single called? No Dignity, I believe) and I want, nay, DEMAND an interview. Er... please? Stephen. Slap me on the patio and call me Mister. PS.... re: Sarah records, the best release was Brighter Now by Razorcuts. Does YOUR heart go boom? Oh, and if anyone can tell me where I can get The Pastels' Suck On and Up For A Bit, or even a CD copy of Crawl Babies, I may just have to wet my kernickers in appreeeziation. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: UK Expressions and Spandau Ballet/Killing Zoe?
by Sam Khater 14 Jan '98

14 Jan '98

I'm familiar with some UK expressions, but what does the term 'licking railings' in LLPJ mean? Also, in the Trash Can Sinatras 'Main Attraction' there is a line that goes 'off to the trough and cubicle to get pharmaceutically full of yourself' or something like that. What does 'trough and cubicle' refer to? The restroom perhaps -- I thought the term for that was cludgie. I saw Killing Zoe the other day and was shocked to see a somewhat familiar face. Is that the same Gary Kemp that was in Spandau Ballet? It hit me when he was talking about dixieland music and how it has it's own culture.

Sinister: News that not all of us know
by Reid 14 Jan '98

14 Jan '98

A quick thank you to Andy for giving us the MM and NME reviews. So often, the problem with some of these lists is that people assume that everyone else on the list has heard whatever news there is already and therefore don't need to say anything about it. But some of us joined this list JUST for that supposedly common-sense news. I'll write more when I've learned how to make sense. ~Reid Free web-based e-mail, Forever, From anywhere! http://www.mailcity.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Re: Sinister: a resemblance. . .
by AmyRicha 14 Jan '98

14 Jan '98

Matthew- Captain Haddock would be the Major in me and the major of course. And then there's a vague connection with seafarers if you follow the line from fish and chip shop in Photo Jenny... :) Elizabeth-the cartoon was the cartoon-of-the-live-action-series. Everyone cross about Swells article- wasn't he the one who interviewed them last autumn and couldn't get Stuart m. to stick around to talk to them and so proceeded to explain to us (with lots of rude words) just how arrogant and pathetic b&s are? I think he forgot that FREEDOM OF SPEECH is a big one with left wingers- that day I think the band had chosen not to speak. It annoyed him somewhat, I remember, which may have made him . On the subject of home taping- live and let live! if you're opposed, don't do it, if you believe it's an econical way to find out about obscure music or just hear something like tigermilk which is basically unavailable, go ahead! would anyone on the list not buy tigermilk when it's rereleased just because they already have a tape? Unless they're extremely poor, in which case be kind to them -let them have tapes anyway so they can eat. kisskiss amy ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: tape of Sessions at 54th?
by Mike Appelstein 14 Jan '98

14 Jan '98

hi. Did anyone happen to record the possibly-never-to-be-aired Sessions at W. 54th taping? I was there and vividly remember how special it self, but if it never sees the airwaves, I'd at least like a tape dub of the afternoon. You know, if this show never airs, it's destined to go down in history as one of the great lost TV performances. I wonder if the Sessions producers actually completed an on-line dub, and whether it'll show up on bootleg someday... -- Mike ciflux(a)aol.com (disregard that Hotmail address up there) ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Faster happy bunnies, Kill, Kill!
by Funkyseb 14 Jan '98

14 Jan '98

Er, probably a stupid question, but does anyone know if the characters in B&S songs are based on anyone in particular? Are they friends of the band, or as I suspect, will Stuart write a song about you in return for, ahem, certain favours? (I'm negotiable, if you're reading...). It would be nice to know if anyone on the list is mentioned in a song. (Or if they've slept with Stuart M.) > > Why don't all the girls change their middle name to Belle and all > the boys to Sebastian. Ah, I remember the days when Sebastian was a crap name... > Stuart M. reminds me of Tintin, the reporter. > >>No no no! Stuart is the cartoon Sebastian from the 80s series You're all wrong. Stuart is clearly Saint-Exupery's 'le petit prince'. Standing alone on his own little planet, and filling the universe with beautiful melancholy thoughts. Anyway, I'm off to weed out the Baobabs.

Sinister: nothing interesting..

someone wrote: Having said that, however, the Hall itself is a lovely place, although I'm not quite sure what purpose the giant ceramic mushrooms suspended from the ceiling serve. They bounce the sound back down. Acoustic baffles I think you'll find - not mushrooms! B&S content: I noticed they didn't have any mushrooms in the roof at Manchester.
