Re: Sinister: remember sinister?

Went to the thirteenth note last night with Tag+friend. Was very good apart from the first three bands, Belle and Sebastian played a short but sweet covers set, songs by Curtis Mayfield (Stevie sang), Orange Juice (Isobel sang), Beck (Richard sang), can't remember the name of the fourth one, Tag knows, I could only recognise the tune (Sung by Stuart and Stevie) and Jesus and Mary Chain sung by Sarah and Chris. Was very nice indeed, enjoyable on the whole and my car didn't break down on the way back to Edinburgh. to recap The Starlets : boring, but nonetheless young, so have an excuse Eugenius : Tedious The Pastels : Woeful (Tag enjoyed it, so did my mate Mark, but the crowd were essentially bored. There was even a heckler!) Belle and Sebastian : Good, but covers, so hard to say really - was enjoyable Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Led Zeppelin and other Rock
by Matthew A. Neimark 03 Dec '97

I too once (in high school) fell in love with the music of the mighty 'zep. I enjoyed it at the time. Further, I would contend that their early music is very reputable even on a critical standpoint. Did you know that Kenny Pickett (from the Creation) was their roadie? Robert Plant attended a Divine Comedy show in New York and I didn't even recognize him (I was too busy acting like a fool in front of Harvey Williams). It (led zep) was a bit misogynist. But the band was influenced by a lot of misogynist music. Did you also know that Stuart M used to listen to a lot of Yes (probably less reputable than early Zep).

Sinister: GINGER FRIDAYS IN TORONTO!!
by DALE COOPER 03 Dec '97

03 Dec '97

GINGER IS THIS FRIDAY! EVERYONE, BE PREPARED FOR MORE UK-INDIE WITH A SOUPY TWIST. HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL THERE. other ginger dates include: december 19th, january 2nd, 16th and 30th. Open letter to the cities sweetest parvenu, Welcome to ginger...or welcome back. This letter is an introduction to a Three-dimensional joy-ride. So it seems fitting to invite you to relax, loosen your belt and perhaps pour yourself another aqua vitae. Long has Toronto suffered the sticky (often mundane) battle of the nightclub. Commercial castles of music are popping up everywhere but beyond the architectural obtuseness, top forty dance beats and Meat-packaging atmosphere there is little marketability left in the budget for substance. Ginger is a new discretion invested in the passion for new UK indie, eclectic beats, sparkling orchestral pop and even some moog pulsations but still vibrating the resonance of the beau ideal past. This night also hopes to pass a little debauchery, shallow flash and designer sneers into the aesthetic of the night. Ginger is unapologetically a vainglorious evening. Some of the bands you may be titillated with include, David Devant and His Spirit Wife, My Life Story, Divine Comedy, Rialto, Travis, the Experimental Pop Band, Momus, Elcka, Lucky 15, Dubstar, Babybird, Olive, Orlando, the Weekenders, Mulu, Ether, Cola Boy, Belle & Sebestian,Peach, Corduory, Denim and favourites include Bowie, the Jam, the Stones,Pulp, Suede, the Smiths, Echo and the Bunnymen, the Verve, Spiritualized, sometimes Blur and many more. GINGER HAS HER NEXT APPEARANCE ON THIS FRIDAY DECEMBER 5th...1997 with more promotional videos direct from the UK and music you may never hear anywhere else... Ginger is Djed by Elvis Aristotle and Hosted by Lady Somerset. Mike Delaney (bohobird) also hosts and finances this extravagant night out. Darrell and Nora our appreciations also extend to their efforts. GINGER WILL BE AT THE BIG BOP THIS FRIDAY. BIG BOP IS LOCATED AT THE CORNER OF QUEEN AND BATHURST in Toronto. We have also managed to keep the drink prices lower than previous big bop events (ie. orange alert)! 19+/$4....because you know you want to. "Go back to the eras of the highest decorative art and you will find it a time when the workman had beautiful surroundings; for the best periods of the decorative arts have been the ages of costume, when men and women wore noble attire and walked in beauty that could pass at once into marble and stone to be the admiration of all succeeding ages." Oscar Wilde for more info contact bohobird1(a)hotmail.com take my thoughts to the roundabout, cos me and them we like to get out ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Poor Taste

Em, Evan Dando actually, but why let the facts ruin a good story. B and S content? Well, I've been a lurker (on the list not in real life) for quite a while and when I joined I was confident that I wouldn't go begging for a copy of "Tigermilk". Partly because I adore "IYFS" to an unhealthy level and partly because they would surely re-issue it soon. However I'm beginning to feel impoverished without a copy and have every sign of BandS envy. So if any kind hearted soul could help, could they mail me privately. It's christmas after all.

Sinister: arab strap supporting on 27th?
by Andrew.Dean＠BULL.NET 03 Dec '97

03 Dec '97

one of the music papers has arab strap down as support for the saturday christmas gig? is this a new development (seeing as katrina said (a couple of weeks ago) that there was no support band on the saturday)? oh, i had another b&s dream the other night and it reminded me that i haven't told you the first one yet. here goes: a swimming pool, indoor, the audience crammed around three sides of it, band playing at one of the shorter ends. bongo drums instead of the usual percussion, girls in grass skirts doing a little hula dance. then stuart murdoch gets carried to the stage on the shoulders of tall blokes wading through the water. um, that's all. the second one's only really a snippet. it's in a usual venue and all and they do the old two sets thing and during the break i pop out of the main room. when i come back i find the front of the stage festooned with fruit and veg which the band are selling. what does it all mean? yeah, it's probably a sex thing, they usually are... there was another b&s mention on teletext this morning, someone's best of the year thing... oh, and someone was asking about the new trembling blue stars single. it was out in england on monday (mine's in the post, hopefully) but parasol has already sent out copies to americans who had it ordered. lp is due on the 17th(?) of january. there's an advert in the music papers this week for it. andy dreaming dreaming dreaming dreaming baby... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
