Sinister: Say It Loud!
by PJMiller 02 Oct '98

02 Oct '98

I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say that it is a great relief to see that Yul Brynner has finally unhanded Ooon's computer. That was a very nice message, Oooon, and I'm certainly proud to be one of your regrets. Chris, I hope your record shop included sites of historical interest, where there used to be record shops before they closed down. The legendary Rebel Records springs to mind. Named after the dog from "Champion the Wonder Horse", its greatest hour was an instore signing session from list flavours of the moment, Mudhoney. They were very nice chaps, so I can't say anything bad about them, even if they are a bit crap. I do like shouting though. I'm lucky enough to own a "raw mixes" CD of The Stooges. It sounds like shit. Yeh! Keith, how can you say you don't dig shouting when you are the world's leading authority (well, second leading authority) on 70s W!H!O! Mister Daltrey's plaintive WAIL is one of the shoutiest shouts of all time. Warrander John: > She does another great song called 'We're off and running' and she was > responsible for the classic 'The town I live in' which is one of the > highlights of British (erm, maybe European?) girl pop in the 60s. I'm intrigued. I tried to get "White Horses" from my sister-in-law, Lizzie Dripping, painstakingly negotiating the handing over of her entire record collection. In time added on for injuries she suddenly decided she didn't want to give Jackie away, leaving me with a cupboardful of bollocks, including "Russians" by Sting. Doh! Fluffy wote: Ah, but Princess Honey Mitchell is away on sabbatical somewhere in Bitter Orange tea land, dreaming of flower fairies and being fed grapes... Paul must be due to come back soon. How about we organise a surprise party? Here's the plan: Between now and Paul's return, no one sends in any messages at all, thus giving the impression of all the lights being turned out. Each of us chooses a suitable hiding place. I'll jump behind the settee with a handful of beautiful young ladies, Tall Git could put a lampshade on his head and stand stock still, and Trousers could sit on the mantelpiece pretending to be a wise old owl figurinette from the seventeenth century. Had owls been invented by then? Whatever. Fluffy could take the tummy out of the telly and climb inside and pretend that they're showing "Heavenly Creatures". Tim could be Kate Winslett. Anyway, when HoneyPaul and HoneyLinda walk in after a long and tiring journey, we could all simulate jumping out and shouting "SURPRISE!" by suddenly bombarding the list with endless reams of pointless drivel. Like this. All those in favour, say "aye". Susannah, I know most of the boys on this list are turned on by waiflike wispy willowy women, but some of us really go for big fat tunky pig women, so tuck in and chow down, and put that watercress where it belongs - right up your bum! Bobby Chariot PS: My money is on a Turkish cleansweep in the European club competitons this year.

"...This state of mind explains some parties taken for the construction of this site, in particular in its presentation: not too many colors, the most sober possible presentation, not of things which flicker or which cause fireworks (which tend to make plant the a little rudimentary computers), not of meter allowing to estimate the frequentation of this site, not of commercial proposal. " Any non-French speakers can have a laugh by looking at Stephane's web site -http://www.chez.com/tweeclub - through the magical translations of AltaVista -http://babelfish.altavista.digital.com/cgi-bin/translate? Its even funnier if you translate stuff from English into French and then back again. Michael, the boy with too much time on his hands

Sinister: Record collector stop tickling me
by Warrander John - FML 02 Oct '98

02 Oct '98

Hello Everybody, I was out last night and I popped into WHSmiths and caught a glimpse of the latest issue of Record Collector and for about the forth month running it's got an absolutely unmissable article in it. This month it's 60's French Pop and even if your not into this stuff it kind of could be a bit interesting to all you B&S heartthrobs out there who've been swooning over Isobel singing Poupee De Cire, Poupee De San live and would love to see and read a bit about the Luxembourg dynamo France Gall who was a Eurovision winner with it way back in the sixties sometime. It has some pics of Ms Gall and she really has "oh please take advantage of me horrible dirty old man" written all over her face. There's also some nice pictures of the incredibly wonderful Francoise Hardy. Scott Walker apparently thought she was THE perfect female and quite frankly, I'd have difficulty arguing with that point of view. cheerio, Love...John +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: I met Roald Dahl!
by Kevan Cooke 02 Oct '98

02 Oct '98

"...so shines a good deed in a weary world." -Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory I met the very man who bestowed such wise words upon Willy Wonka! I must have been about nine years old, he was signing books in High Wycombe and I queued for what seemed like hours. Then there he was - this seedy looking old man who I'm sure FluffySarah would have been crinkling her nose at in disgust. She can smell things beyond the sensory powers of ordinary mortals you know. He signed my copy of "Danny, Champion of the World", spelt my name wrong even though I had explained it was spelt with an A, and then I was shoved on my way. Next week: I met one of the girls out of Tight Fit!

Sinister: London Made Honey Sick
by MWaggner＠aol.com 02 Oct '98

02 Oct '98

Hi Sinisterines -- I've just gotten back from London -- lovely city I have to say, compared to New York. How do you keep it so clean? I spent 7 days in posh Mayfair, feeling a bit unworthy at times but holding my head high just the same, remembering that we did win the revolution after all, so there, ha! you poser in a Rolls Royce, get on the correct side of the road! To everyone who I was supposed to call (yes, Swan and Starry) I apologize profusely, but I left your numbers here on the computer in my fear-of-flying frenzy the day I left. Yeah, I suck, I admit it. Finally got to meet the mysterious List Princess Honey and he is indeed as lovely and regal as he seems, for all of you who have not yet had the pleasure. We had packed our tiaras but sadly the Queen did not invite us to tea after all, so we were driven to take in the earthy pleasures of Soho (no, I will NOT post the pictures of the exotic pole-dancing schoolgirls on the web page, not even if you beg), the musical offerings of various cd emporia, the fine art of sitting in the corner of a pub watching and listening to the patrons ("oh, he must live on Hill Street, number 47, in a wee town up north called Summatshire, next to the stream, you can tell by his accent"), sampling the fine cuisine (MEAT-FLAVORED CRISPS???), going to a show by the angel- voiced Kate Rusby (go on -- what is it called? take the piss? go ahead, she was gorgeous), and generally flouncing about -- despite our pain at the Queen's bad manners. Then -- after just 2 days -- a dread Mayfair virus struck the List Mistress low, and he got VERY ill and took to bed with the vapors on Saturday, unable to ring or get together with anyone. So, to everyone we were going to meet, sincere apologies -- but it was then orange juice and Tony Blair and more Tony Blair on the television. (Yep, Keith --there DOES appear to be more than one of him. I swear he was cleaning the bathroom at the flat at the exact same time he was on the television -- pretty damn Labourious if you ask me). Couldn't be helped and it was really disappointing for both of us. I was too shy to drag my American self out to meet you on my own and stuck to the anonymous crowds at Marks & Spencers -- where I found no tables to turn -- Fortnum and Mason where there were tables but I thought I might offend someone if I tried turning them, and Covent Garden where I met a gypsy flower seller (ok, she said she was a gypsy and gave me a good luck stone -- I choose to believe it), wandering and looking and shopping. JUST when I learned how to use the underground and figure out the money (why oh why are there no one pound notes??) and read the instructions painted on the street telling me which way to look so I could stop stepping off curbs in front of speeding Mercedes Benzs and getting shouted at (yeah, British reserve my ass) -- it was time to come back. I think I'll use my gypsy stone for wishing to return, because I really did love everything I saw, even if it was the "poncy south." Well... ok, honestly there were too many statues -- is there one of every citizen? I think I overlooked the ones of listees as I noted none with cardigans, walkmans nor arab straps, altho one or two could have used one. And all those arches and gateways going no place in particular -- is there an Exchequer of Let's-Put-Up-A-Useless-But-Heroic-Portal-Here or something? So list, Honey List Kitten has returned to Edinburgh for a big rest and recuperation, and won't be able to look after you for a bit. Please be big and brave and well-behaved, and mind each other's well-being. Honey won't be separating you if you get into tussles and try to hit each other with shovels in the sandbox, nor giving you the rules of the playground -- and will be disengaged from the list for a bit. If you've mailed for help or advice -- don't feel slighted by getting no reply -- please try to look it up in the FAQ, or mail someone privately who looks like they'd know how to help. There has been another influx of new little sinisterines to the list -- any doctors among you who know anything about M.E./CFIDS who can help poor wee Honey? -- so help them out if you can, bigger kids. Honey just can't reply right now and will be sticking to sorting out the cats and newts and getting well and sparkly again. If you'd like to send get well cards, flowers, pornography or lingerie, please mail me and I'll give you the address -- yes, REAL mail as opposed to e-mail -- it's nice to get surprises through the mail slot when you're ill and a bit lonely. --michele/simone PS -- Brian and Minka: don't think I didn't see those photos just because I was out of town!! Shame on you! And no, I didn't bring a camera to the UK :) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Va va voom & meet-up in Paris
by Stephane Buron 02 Oct '98

02 Oct '98

Hi list! I dont remember who talked about David Gedge this morning, but it's a good opportunity for me to ask what you've thought about the Cinerama album, 'Va Va Voom'. I find it ace, and it must be my second best album at the moment (the first one is The Boy With the arab strap, obviously...). Dont you think some of the songs could be easily compared to Belle and Sebastian ones, with all these lovely instruments (horns, pianos, violins, guitars...) ? Anyway, it's great, go and buy it immediately. Well, some Belle and Sebastian content now : we've eventually "organised" a meet-up before (and maybe after) the gig in Paris. Hopefully, David and Katrina will be there. You'll find there other listees (Philippe, Loic, Aurore, Niall, Brian...) and french popkids... As you all know, there is a page on the Jeepster site dedicated to these infos. So go and have a look at the news section on http://www.jeepster.co.uk/belleandsebastian You'll find there all the precisions (when, where, who, how) you might need. Looking forward to seeing you in Paris Stephane -- Visitez le Tweeclub sur http://www.chez.com/tweeclub "I had a job in an office once, I never talked to anyone..."

Sinister: Wedding Present

This is a bit out of date, I know, but at the Leeds gig I spotted Dave Gedge's name on the roster of people who wanted to be added to the mailing list, but didn't see him there (I'm not sure that I'd recognise him anyway). Did anyone see him? And, if so, did he look like he was having a good time or was he as miserable as you'd expect... another celebrity fan to join the ranks alongside Sean Hughes and Jarvis Cocker.
