Sinister: field mice compilation?
by (a) clockwork chicken 27 Oct '98

27 Oct '98

hi all, i've searched and searched on the www for the tracklisting of the new field mice 2Xcd comp (shinkansen's website is incredibly secretive. what are they hiding?)...my copy won't be arriving for at least three weeks and i'm all a'slavering to know what's on there. can anyone help me out? i would be forever in your debt. thanks in advance for any assistance, doug // (a)c.c. -- rorshach(a)execpc.com http://www.execpc.com/~rorshach/index.html There are so many groups now that just play the same things over and over, and this is why i had to get rid of a lot of people in the group because they felt that was it, they've mastered their instrument and think, "oh well, I can play the same chord brilliantly for six minutes", which is ah - you should get a bleedin' machine to do that. You know, the thing is to play it with an inflection. -Mark E. Smith, 1985 +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: REM- up
by Scott Turner 27 Oct '98

27 Oct '98

just got the new rem album. its REALLY good- alot more melodic, experimentive and honest than anything they've done in a long time. stipe's songwriting has gone to a new level. more accessible, more sincere, as his voice has also become more golden. i dig em better without the wanker drummer- they pull off loops carefully and delicately without sounding like bad electronica B&S content: what sweet sweet news from matador aye phellow philly phans? hope. hope. .scott +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Chicago gig/SCROLL DOWN FOR SMUT
by jennifer phillips-bacher 27 Oct '98

27 Oct '98

hello all. instead of reviewing exam material such as antonio gramsci's theories on cultural hegemony, i've decided to examine the issues of last night's gig in chicago. Issue #1: Isobel Isobel was stunning in her pleated skirt although she was, as Katrina suggested, a bit off-colour. When i briefly spoke to Stuart M. and Sarah before the show, they said she was much better and keeping her tea down. Issue #2: la musica firstly, let me say it was absolute PERFECTION. my ears were so happy they were about to jump off of my head. really. the band seemed to be quite jovial...must've been the san pelligrino. it does it for me everytime. i was standing on the balcony, which i think was really a good choice cause i could see the entire stage from there, even the piano that was plunked down in the corner where stuart would go hide every once in awhile. and i'm short, so being high up really helped. i generally don't pay attention to the setlist, but this time i had lots of friends that couldn't come so i wrote all of the songs on my hand. i can't seem to wash them off, so i'll type them here: 1. century of fakers 2. i know where the summer goes 3. seeing other people 4. chickfactor 5. lord anthony 6. dirty dream #2 7. is it wicked not to care? 8. slow grafitti 9. it could've been a brilliant career 10. lazy line painter jane 11.paper boat 12. dog on wheels 13. wrong love 14. loneliness of a middle distance runner i was so happy to hear the new songs. some grumpuses standing next to me wanted only to hear songs that they knew and could sing along with. pah! isobel said that her and stevie's voices were a bit scratchy due to illnesses, but they sounded absolutely lovely. stuart m. doesn't know this, but we're going to meet later in life and fall madly in love and run off to an island and live in a tiki hut, drink margaritas and fruit smoothies and play lots of trivial pursuit. i know this for sure because my psychic told me. Issue #4: SMUT ok. if you've read this far, i trust you enough to hear a confession. it won't be a full confession as i'm still a bit unsure of myself. well, as a common practice, i have frequent sex dreams. generally i don't know the person...he's usually some faceless mystery guy. other times it's someone that i recognize (no, not a comedian). well......oh gosh, i'm feeling shy now. (just say it just say it). ok, well, i had a sex dream with a list person who will remain anonymous. i will only say that a photo(or two...) is posted on honey's site and i've never met this person in real life ever and it's just so strange how my dream world managed to animate a photo. and it's not st. lucy. i feel somewhat relieved. the butterflies are leaving my stomach now. jenn xoxo +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: spoke to matador today...YAY!!!!!!!!
by Mothra 27 Oct '98

27 Oct '98

helllllooooooo everybodyyyyyy!!!!! i spoke to my friendly college promotions rep. at matador today, as i work in college radio, and he informed me that although they do not have any more tickets to the d.c. show on friday, which i hoped to attend, b&s are trying very hard to reschedule the philly show for some time next week after the new york show, but that this is only a very slight possibility...SO, if they don't make it next week (which is highly likely since they would have to find an available venue and sell tickets on such short notice), they plan to swing by philly on the west coast tour that they're planning for the winter, tentatively set for january!!!!!! GOOD NEWS, eh?? i know it made *my* day!!! SASSY. love, moira ********************************** Moira Kulik Box 906 Franklin & Marshall College P.O.

The Right Honourable Windy Miller wrote.... Gary, have you been getting Sarah drunk? I am offended and I demand satisfaction. I am a staunch alcoholic, the last thing I would be doing is giving my valuable drink to the Fluffyone. Nah as it happens, Sarah helped a friend of mine work his way through a bottle of wine or four, so yes she was pissed, but it was nothing to do with me. As I write.... Or should that be type ?. The Fluffster is standing over my shoulder, demanding that I shift my arse, so she can get the computer to make South Park related noises... so I'm off and HHHEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRREEEEEEESSSSS FLUFFY....

Sinister: ink polaroid left over from the boston show
by azriel 27 Oct '98

27 Oct '98

so here's an ink polaroid i wrote as an afterthought of the boston show. you're going to have to pardon any strange typing errors. i just got glasses yesterday and i'm still getting used to them. it may not look like much, but it's my favorite. i took this one just to keep my memory alive, knowing i would forget it if i didn't get a snapshot. see, that's stuart david there with the light blue jacket on. he's standing by the tourbus outside the morse auditorium in boston. i'm standing there next to him wearing that big black fuzzy wool hooded coat. i'm kind of leaning over his shoulder, and you can almost see that he's holding a book in his hand. actually, the book that this picture was originally written in. he's signing the back of it. he asked me my name, but couldn't think of anything to say, so it just says "to kerry, stuart david." -kerry "you will have a boy tonight -- maybe you will have a girl tonight -- on the last bus out of town." -belle and sebastian +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Peter/Keith/Adrian
by PJMiller 27 Oct '98

27 Oct '98

Keith and I had the following exchange earlier: >Julian Cope claims that "Blackdance" by Klaus Schutze was >his seduction album. I bought it, just out of curiosity, and >it never fails to send me to sleep. It's pretty good >though - wurp-wurp-wurp - that kind of thing. > > >That's strange you should say that Peter, as I was in Virgin yesterday on >my day off work, and was hearing a bit of Julian "Copey" Cope's new record, >then I kind of thought, hey, there's some bloke that looks dead like Julian >Cope, and then started thinking "Why is there a queue behind this bloke", >so it turns out it is actually Julian Cope, wackily dressed up as Swampy or >something. I believe The Archdrood is on a book promoting tour, with "talks" in Waterstones and so forth. I wouldn't mind going, I bet that book's a good laugh as well as possibly instructional. There's loads of prehistoric cromlechs and dolmens and whathaveyous round here as well, all conveniently situated at the top of mountains. I've been to one, but it just looked like fossilised elephant dung in a little circle. Still powerfully evocative of a bygone age though. While we're on the subject of books, I apologise if I have been inadvertently sending people on a wild duke chase for Dung and Goulash - I thought it was out already, that was the impression I got from the Dukegob website (he's definitely not subscribed, is he?) > I was thinking the other day also about how you could better describe the >great Moog synthesizer, and I hit upon the idea of mentioning great Moog >songs, and came down to my two favourite Moog solos, which come from Ike >and Tina Turner's "Nutbush city limits" and Heatwave's "Boogie nights", >both totally great Moog solos, indeed the former record, so I'm told by my >mum and dad was the first record I ever danced too - so there you go, as >this track came out in 1973 it turns out I'm so cool, I was into Moog solos >from almost before I was born! I wouldn't know a Moog solo if it bit me to be honest, unless the record has the word "Moog" in the title. I believe Stevie Wonder used them, so I'm nominating the instrumental bit with playlet from Living For The City, a song also covered by Ike and Tina. Popol Vuh's epic Vuh also features a Moog, but tread carefully, I think they probably lived inside it during the making of the album. I believe Amon Duul II borrowed it at a later date, so you might be able to spot it on that tape, Keith. Adrian Evans wrote: Peter out Miller in out in.....that Starsky and Hutch is very good. I have a picture I did on the old windows paintbrush of Dougall from the old supernatural whirlygig fame that I want to send to Honeys Mummy page. Unfortunately it's in .BMP format and I don't know what to do to make it .jpg friendly. HELP !!! I have no idea what .jpg format is, my Starsky and Hutch portrait was done with PaintPot or whatever it's called, as included with Windows 95. I've also discovered that if you save your pictures in the Windows folder you can then use them as desktop backgrounds, instead of the usual shite. At the moment we've got a fine portrait of Stuart Mad Dog Murdoch reprimanding the rowdy crowd in London, done by my good lady wife. Jealous, eh? Perhaps it belongs on the ever-expanding Mummy page as well. Has all the shagging talk stopped yet? I do hope so, it puts me off my food a bit. I'm listening to Stevie Wonder now, it's great. If that's not a Moog it bloody well ought to be. I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!

this one is of me sitting in front of my computer, you can't see my face, just the back of my neck & jumper, as I'm not feeling to social today and don't fancy my photo being taken....you can see that I'm gazing at the tartan desktop pattern on my computer screen...not really reading the mail in front of me, just looking sort of through the words, because today, they are just words......the clutter of my work space is visible as well, the photos of mates, bands, people I fancy, are on the walls....toys sitting all around as well......you also see to my right, the paper work for my passport and the photos that were taken last week when I was so very ill.....laying next to the passport application are flight schedules & prices to London......sadly, due to financial pain, none of this is copacetic, so I must wait......and I do.....thankfully there are a pile of tapes next to the phone that are from Madame Cholet, and THAT will ease the sadness in the photo.....

by Gary Done 27 Oct '98

27 Oct '98

Doo doo dooooooo! Hi again, I am still at Garys and he has told meee I can mail the list again, General Message - to everyone who has mailed me, I'm NOT ignoring you, but my home computer is having teething troubles with no knock out gas, so I am without the mail, booo! Senor Miller! I've listened to your Northern Soul and Reggae extrvaganza, and may I say it is jolly fab! Top marks for ETTA JAMES. Have I already told you how much I like the tape? Ah well, if so here it is again. Your PYNC ROC CYMRAEG tape will be winging its way to you as soon as you send me your address! Mail it to Garys adress, cos my pooter doesn't want to play and is being generally anti-social. Abi Wrote: silly, foolish me forgot to tell you who the poetry parrot will be visiting next. well, he fancies a spell in the company of an "(EX!!) el hombre del mullet and ex-Alarm afficiando", so Gary Done, get your crackers out (matron). Gary tells me to tell you all that he is cacking his pants with fear right at this moment. He has threatened a Julian Cope poem so watcn out pop pickers! I do hope the poetry parrot enjoys his brief stay at Garys house, I am enjoying it, apart from when he PICKS ON ME! He denys it but he does. Humph. OOOOH YES! I saw the SuperLambBanana again yesterday!! There was a car sat next to it with 3 people inside it. Upon asking l'homme de mullete what was going on - he tells me it is a Radio City competition and those people have been sitting in the car for 17 days. The last person left in the car wins it appparently. What twats! Its only a shitty little car anyways! Its not as if its something fab, like a BATMOBILE. Grrrrr I haven't got anything else to say cos I can't be arsed reading fecking tons of digests to, um, highlight the salient points and reply thusly...... I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!!!! Sarah They may take my pooter but they will NEVER take my signature!
