Sinister: I need to ask a favour
by David & Katrina 07 Sep '97

07 Sep '97

I've just built a shopping store for Rough Trade and although it works perfectly on my system I need people to test it on other ones. If you've got a few minutes spare could you point your browser at http://www.totalweb.co.uk/bluesoda/cgi-bin/Web_store/web_store.cgi and do a bit of shopping. There are hardly any products in the database as that was the least of my worries. Typing in "belle" does bring up Dog On Wheel though. I need you to complete the whole transaction, you can invent credit card details as long as it is 16 digits long and has valid expiry date. Mail me back with any suggestions or if you have any problems. Thanks David Kitchen -- ***************************************************************** http://www.totalweb.co.uk/bluesoda/Belleandsebastian.htm mailto:d.kitchen@virgin.net ***************************************************************** ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: West 54th taping
by Skreddy56＠aol.com 06 Sep '97

06 Sep '97

OK--by the time you read this, I'm sure someone else will have sent a better review of the show today than this one, but here goes... My mom picked me up from school a bit early (11:45), so we could get a good spot in line for the show. The doors were going to open at 2:45, but needless to say, it all started a little late. Anyway, we had a good spot in line, and we got really good seats, but he space was so small, that everyone was less than 20 feet from the band. Now, I'm sure these aren't in very good order (and maybe one or two is missing), but here is the setlist: is it wicked not to care dylan in the movies slow graffiti seymour stein century of elvis rollercoaster ride lazy line painter jane ease your feet in the sea mayfly (twice) break to switch tapes (with a short version of i'll be your mirror) ...middle distance runner sleep the clock around ??? (note-I only know the names because a setlist was right nearby, if they're not the right songs, i'm sorry) The show was very good, even though you could tell they were very nervous (maybe it was because the stage setup was odd, with people around them in a circle, or maybe they're just not that used to playing in front of people). It was strange seeing them do so many "rocking" songs--so much of the album is calm. Sleep the clock around even had a keyboard-produced percussion loop in it. It was very nice to hear Lazy Line painter Jane without Monica Queen (although, I have to say, her voice is growing on me)--it was a lot more, well pleasant isn't quite the word I want to use, but it will have to do. On "Mayfly" (performed with a stylophone!), Mr. Murdoch forgot the words partway through, and they had to stop (this was for tv, after all). They asked if anyone had the album with them, and a guy a few seats down (the owner of my local record store, and my boss) just happened to have the LP with him, and Stuart proceeded to read the song off the back cover. Then, at the end of the song, the cable came out of the guitarist's overdrive pedal, and a bunch of noise (if you have a guitar and amplifier, you know the sound) came out while he was trying to put it back in (somehow, i don't think Mayfly will make it to the TV show). During the break (while the tapes were flipped), the band was tuning and talking, and finally asked if there were any requests from the audience (with 1 condition: it had to be a cover), and they did a rough version of "I'll Be Your Mirror" (by the velvet underground). It's a shame that that wasn't taped--it would have been a nice addition to the TV program. The last song was a really rocking song, with crazy guitar solos and everything (I don't know what it was...it wasn't on the setlist). After the show, they came out to get their equipment, and they were talking to people and signing autographs. I talked with the drummer (richard Colburn) for a couple minutes, and everyone in the band was more than happy to talk with people. Sorry, but I didn't have the nerve to ask if Elvis was a dog or a cat. I don't think they would have answered anyway. The show, according to the host, will probably be aired in December along with an interview that was done before the taping. Anyway, the show was very good, and I look forward to seeing them again. Hope to see you sunday! --Matt Waggner ps- I had chinese food for dinner tonight, and I got an extra fortune cookie, so I guess you can have it. Here it is: You will enjoy good health, you will be surrounded by luxury. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Compo
by Stip / Blue Music 06 Sep '97

06 Sep '97

This one was taken coming home from work one night. That's me, drowned in a hooded top and frozen mid-step outside my front door, like I'm playing musical statues in the rain. You can't see too clearly because the picture's so watery, but that's my keys in my hand - I was just about to let myself in when I remembered. The reason why I look like I'm half-laughing and half-baffled is because I've just realised that I was so absorbed with trying to decide whether to buy a big or a small can of sweetcorn that I walked straight past the shop and right on home. If you look closely at the volvo parked behind me you can see my neighbour's dog, who's tail looks like a squirrel. -- Nicola M Stip / Blue Music www.stip.demon.co.uk ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Jared, Brace yourself... ha hahahaha, Good Luck! Your only hope is coincidence, if not *actual* Divine Intervention, that you might find someone's used copy at a record shop. Somehow I doubt anyone would've given up their copy, however. >>> <Moonstar9(a)aol.com> 09/05 12:59 PM >>> hey, does anyone know where i can pick this up in the states? or anywhere for that matter? i've ask around a bit and been laughed at i.e, "Ha Ha Good Luck." btw, i am a New Yorker/ Bostonian. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Ink Polaroid

This one didn't come out all that well. It's actually of my motorbike with my friend's Aunt sitting on the back. It was a cloudy day and I'd put the wrong type of film in. That's why it's come out very dark. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Compo! Ink Polaroid
by Arantxa Ubieta - Peter Miller 05 Sep '97

05 Sep '97

Royal Troon, Scotland. It is 1974 and the second series of BBC Pro-Celebrity Golf is drawing to its thrilling conclusion. Sean Connery needs to sink this putt to ensure victory. His partner, Jackie Stewart, winner of this year's British Open, can hardly bear to watch. Their hapless opponents, Tony Jacklin and Jeffrey from Haysi Fantayzee, can only look on in anguish. Jacklin fiddles nervously with the fastener of his golf glove. In the background, a little boy from Ayr is sitting on his Dad's shoulders to get a better view. He is behaving himself today, because he likes golf. His Dad looks like Rupert the Bear on bad acid. Moments later, Connery misses his putt and all hell breaks loose...
