Sinister: helen lover
by Heinitz 19 Sep '98

19 Sep '98

>boards of canada >theaudience >helen love i have never heard of the first, but i quite like theaudience although they are bobbins live. but do buy helen love stuff, they are great. and, and, my friend daniel is in the video and on the cover of the single for "long live the uk music scene". >birmingham, bristol, essex, exeter, kent, lancaster, leeds, sheffield, york, and st. andrews go to sheffield, it has a wide variety of benches all on the one street. some of them are traditional, some of them are quite futuristic, and one of them is very shiny and smooth and curvy. that last one is my personal favourite. i was wondering if the video for "it's insipid to taunt bears" was actually shown on alternative nation, because i missed just that vital first five minutes of the damn programme while trying to work out which train to catch to bridlington to see the manics with my aforementioned friend daniel, i rushed to the tv and stayed up til two watching strange videos, none of which were of belle and sebastian. oh, and honey is right (of course), that cornelius video is fantastic. but some of the others were scary. abi, who can't quite justify going all the way to london to see Fosca, although she very much wants to. *sigh* +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Tigermilk on CD
by Brier Random 19 Sep '98

19 Sep '98

Hi all.... I have severe misgivings about posting this.... don't yell at me.... I bought Tigermilk on CD today from a local indie record shop. For thirty bucks. I know I did nothing illegal (altho whoever manufactured it sure did) but I wonder if I did something immoral. But what would you have done??? It was so beautiful; the dancing girls logo as cover art; the mis-titled "The State I'm In".... I hadn't even HEARD it yet so I didn't hesitate to quickly take it to the counter, looking over my shoulder the whole time for the spirit of D.Kitchen wagging his finger at me. Also, I'll most certainly buy the official release if it ever comes out, so I don't feel I've cheated anyone out of anything. Am I wrong? Can anyone say they would've done differently?

Sinister: Lyric changing time.
by kenny 18 Sep '98

18 Sep '98

I was driving through Brighton this evening, with Twattybus on full volume on my measly stereo, getting strange looks from the crowds of pissed wankers queing up to dance to house music (oh how exciting), when something caught my attention. If you listen to the start of the album, really carefully, at a really high volume you'll hear that in fact the lyrics are not "He had a stroke at the age of 24, It could have been a brilliant career" But rather "He had a stoat at the age of 24, It would have made a brilliant cashmere" I can see the headlines now, "Number 1 indie album promotes animal cruelty" "Animal Liberation Front issues death threat on B&S" And while we are on this subject, surely Sarah is keeping that fox against its will in the sleeve pictures. And the song Fox in the Snow, poor thing you would have thought that someone could have given it a bed for the night. Any way I'm off now. 3 pointless mails in one day.....sorry!

Sinister: summer
by N Leggatt 18 Sep '98

18 Sep '98

> Anyone else adore A Summer Wasting? i think it may be my favorite on arab strap. i like the title song for its lyrics and Is it wicked for that ethereal beautiful voice but a summer wasting is a brave shout at the world - so i didn't do anything all summer, i lived didn't i? gotta admire that. also, the drums on that song are fantastic.

Sinister: Breaktime-Is it a biscuit?Or maybe a bar? Who can be sure...

I've toyed with the idea of buying one on my frequent trips to fellate The Man in Woolies, but I haven't got round to it. Do some people really need a small machine to get sweets from the packet into their mouths? I suspect that they have another, more nepherious purpose which my innocent mind can't quite understand. None the less B&S pez machines appeal massively. The Spice Girls did little Cadbury's Wildlife bars with a Spice Girl etched on each bar, and spice facts on the wrapper. We should have them too, except the band would probably be to shy to appear on the bars and send a friend to do it instead. AND THE POINT WAS... yep, that's it. I know this isn't the best time to ask, but I'm desperate to know at the moment: In 1996 some dj or other played some song or other by some scottish band or other, every night, for a month or so. We all know what happened next. But what happened to Dimanche Desue (phonetic spelling, sorry real french people), a one man band type, who at the same time, sang a lovely melancholy song called 'C'est Absent' (again, sorry, I can understand french, but not when it's said with a Bolton accent, on a crackly wireless) I tried to find it once when I went to france, but just got sneered at. So, is this availiable in England? What is the bloke's real name? Am I really the only person who likes it? I played the Mike Reid fruit machine yesterday, and it's better than I thought it could be. It contains no references to Runaround, but if you get three Cockney Wankers in a row, you win £3.50. And Frank occasionally invites you to 'take my advice'. Not in that jacket, Mike. seb +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Evil B&S "Judy" Conspiracy
by Greg Pallis 18 Sep '98

18 Sep '98

Anyone noticed how both Sinister and TOASTEDTEACAKES (or twattybus) end with a song about Judy? From Judy and the dream of horses to "take judy with her bow and arrow shes a mastermind..." Who is Judy? Incidentally, I love twattybus with all my heart, i just all the tracks, particually a summer wasting which reminds me of every single holiday or weekend i ever had, and I want to cuddle it and cherish it forever. Why would a woodchuck chuck wood?

Sinister: Paris gig
by paula wiseman 18 Sep '98

18 Sep '98

I was at the DC gig in Paris too! It was just soooo fantastic. I was the one in front of Neil jumping up and down like a maniac! The audience was very quite though. Sorry 'bout the lack of B&S content, but I just thought I'd say that.

i personally appreciate the indie pez stores for their selection of analogue pez dispensers and candy. being a pez purist, i am inclined to eschew the newer digital pez, which seem colder and less personal to me. though i have noticed a slight trend in the big stores to carry a limited selection of analogue pez... seamus > >BTW, although I would never buy any music from Woolies they are the > best > >sourse I've found of Pez, in the UK - so all credit to them for that > ;) > > > You should be supporting the small, independent Pez stores.
