Sinister: Re: Edinburgh Indie Clubs
by Gordon A Rogers 23 Jan '98

23 Jan '98

Just another word on the Edinburgh indie club scene : The only one worth going to is the Egg (And I wouldn't call it and indie club as such - much more interesting than that). No I'm not being payed by the Laird of East Fountainbridge. Here's my well educated opinion of the rest : - FBI : Used to be great when the DJ had a little originality. - Evol : Good once (played My Bloody Velentine - Whoo Hoo). - Day Tripper : Had promise and I did actually dance a bit. - Scooter : Had a good night here the DJ had a little flair (which dwindled as the night grew long). - MI5 : Pish - Katch : Shit This is the truth so there. Seek out other clubs e.g. Tribal Funktion (the top floor plays brilliant Old Skool and Soul), Cafe Graffitti or Scratch. Anyway to make this better for the rest of the listees I have a question on clubs : Have Oasis ruined all the indie clubs we used to love ? - Gordon (the edinburgh club guru from Aberdeen) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Do you think it's not as good, I'd say it was certainly as good if not better, still they're both ace anyway. Also, maybe of interest, there's a DJ Shadow compilation of singles out at the moment on Import called "Pre-emptive Strike" which is excellent - indeed I've bought it and I've already got all of it, it's just cool to listen to (almost) all the singles on the one CD, so highly recommended. Track listing: Influx Hindsight What does your Soul look like (1-4) High Noon Organ Donor (remix) Also with Camel Bobsled Race, which is the rather poor "Megamix" by Q-Bert. Doesn't live up to the standard set by Technotronic regarding megamixes. Quite why it doesn't have "Lost and Found" on it I don't know, but I expect it's James Lavelle's Tory brain at work again which means he'll release another compilation which will have it on it, and lots of innocent people will buy it, making him a load of money. Still... let's face facts, it beats buying shite records from principled people. Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

For your interest. I'm sort of admitting that the Air LP is not as great as Premiers Symptomes and is only ok. But, let me tell you now...'Remember', the second track on the b side sounds exactly (in drum terms) the same as 'Do it Again' by the Beach Boys!

Sinister: Hot pumping disco action

Allright squires, I'm going to write a load of crap now (anyone writing 'so what's new?' will be treated with the contempt they deserve), I can feel it in my water. Claire Timmins wrote: >graff, not steffi. That's a shame. A bit of tennis would make me a lot happier. After all, Pavement wrote a song inspired by Goran Ivanisevic. Nice to see that insipid little shit Henman falling at the first fence, while Rusedski reigns supreme. I like Greg - he could've been the Canadian number one, and chose British citizenship cos he loves his girlfriend, the big soppy pussycat. German Number 2 Anke Huber is the woman I love. AND Peter Miller is married to Arantxa Sanchez- Viccario. At least that's what I've been led to believe. Paul 'Polanski' Mitchell wrote: >B&S anyone?

That's where Belle and Sebastian should record their live quadruple album 'Ice and fire: Belle and Sebastian Red and Raw in Disko Bay'. The laser show could be at least the equal of Jean Michel Jarre's. I'd love to see Chris playing that synthesiser JMJ had where you just put in your hand across a beam of light to play a note.

Sinister: You made me remember my dreams
by Adrian Evans 23 Jan '98

23 Jan '98

Oh Genevieve....where be thee my lovely ? You should come to England and ply your trade as a Dream Doctor. I have two weeks of insomnia, two weeks on tranquilisers, and not a single dream ! I receive one message from you my dear, and hey presto I'm back in dreamland ! Unfortunately not a B&S dream...but bizarre non-the-less..... I got on the bus to work, and the bloke in front of me paid for me. Then at lunchtime i went and met my best mate and we stole something, I can't remember what. And we were being chased down this alley between two rows of terraced houses, but this alley was in the middle of being resurfaced and we were knee deep in aggregates and then a steam-roller started coming the other way.....AAAAGGGGHHH...way out ! But there was this little doorway we managed to squeeze into while the steam-roller passed us. i found a bucket in the doorway and it was full of snails, so we took it back to my friends house..(Lord knows what happened to the people who were chasing us). He didn't want me to take the bucket into his house, so I threw in a water butt outside his house....only it wasn't his house it was my mums. And we went to bed (not together for christs sake) in our lunch hours !! And when we got up to go back to work, we walked out of the house and the snails had multiplied and there were just literally thousands of them. And that was it ! DOES ANYONE ANALYSE DREAMS ???? WHAT DOES THIS MEAN. -- Adrian. Pity would be no more If we did not make somebody poor And mercy no more could be If all were happy as we.

No I'm not > being payed by the Laird of East Fountainbridge. Have to agree with you there. I spent a wonderful, if slightly drunken, night there last Saturday. Also plucked up the courage to say hello to the Laird after he responded to my written-down request to play 'String Bean Jean'. Boy, did that make my night. He also aired LLPJ at the end. Now, I ask you. Where elae in Embra would you get that on a Saturday night?

In a message dated 1/22/98 9:53:06AM, you write: << The songs on the tape are by welsh band The Pooh Sticks. "I know someone who knows someone who knows Alan McGee quite well" and "On Tape" are from a box set of singles released in june 1988 on Fierce Records. It was released as a one sided album (with some very nice engravings on the B-side!) in august the same year. >> I was forced to sell my box set about 5 years ago when I was an impoverished student. I got thirty quid for it. The guy at record & tape exchange said (rather harshly in my opinion): "we'll get 80 for this in Japan - they lap up shit like this!". Indie Pop Aint Noise Pollution...
