Re: Sinister: west coast
by Brier Random 22 Oct '98

22 Oct '98

Well said by Donovan. I'm in California and I'd much rather have the chance of seeing them in four different west-coast cities than having them jet over here for one quick L.A. show, which would be impossibly sold out in one day. Plus when they come in 99 they'll be well rested, instead of having just played ten shows on the opposite coast. Patience!!!

Sinister: Re: Light Box vs. Sniffing Lemon
by Brier Random 22 Oct '98

22 Oct '98

The woman I proofread for just got one of those happy lightboxes atop her desk. You'd never know she was down, but she said she's had slightly depressive blahs so she got one (for $250!) and says it works. I suspect that it works because she THINKS it works, but she mentions "positively charged ions" or some such crap. But as long as it cheers her up. I had never even heard of such a thing before. It looks like flourescent light, which I think is evil. But I guess it's different from flourescense. I like your idea of aromatherapy much better. My deororant (Arm & Hammer baking soda Brand) works the same way to my girlfriend. I swear it does. She plants her face square in the middle of my chest and inhales deeply, and her eyes roll back and she laughs. I swear I am not making this up. Aroma is really closely linked to memory and emotion. B&S Content: Who is Dylan of Dylan in the Movies? Bob? Didn't find it in the archives (which, no, does not translate to "I am too lazy to check the archives". Isn't being able to talk to strangers all around the world with a box of wires a magical notion?

Sinister: boston show
by alison 22 Oct '98

22 Oct '98

I was at the Boston show too, and it was awesome... my first time seeing them live...it was quite a religious experience. Besides their ingenious musical talent and touching songs, what I liked best was their genuine kindness. Stuart was so...polite...and adorable. sexy. scottish. he decided that the lighting was "disconcerting" and asked the sound guy in the back of the hall to put lights on in the audience to even out the contrast because he couldn't see shit and it was making him a bit sleepy. It was also amusing when he started Boy Done Wrong Again several times and cussed because he couldn't remember the chords. And I agree with the last message...the opening band was...fair. alison +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: I'm turkey-hungry, I'm chicken-free, and I got into U of Missouri...
by Erin Lewis 22 Oct '98

22 Oct '98

Hey kids, My punk boyfriend has been converted! I was convinced it would take many, many listens over many, many roadtrips, but all it took was "Simple Things" as song #1 on a mix tape I just sent him. (Individual responses may vary. Said boyfriend is blinded by love.) It's the first B&S song he's ever heard. So if any you have friends who love Fugazi and June of '44, there is salvation in "Simple Things". But! That is not what I chose to write about today. I have recently been accpted into the Masters of Photojournalism program at the University of Missouri - Columbia, and I'm leaving January 2. This means no trip to England (unless someone can think up a magic plan), and more importantly, no trip back to California to see Belle & Sebby when they go west. So I've sent Katrina an e-mail begging B&S to stop by Missouri on their second US tour. But! I've just realized that unless there are B&S fans in Missouri, or somewhere reasonably close (8 hours is close enough for me, e.g. Memphis, etc.), then why would they play there? "Athens is a very important and credible market," to paraphrase Mr. Donovan Matador, but St. Louis is perhaps not. So! All of you who are hiding near Missouri or would contemplate traveling there to see the show, please make yourself known!!!!!! Or I will never see B&S in this century. And! If they don't play Missouri, at least I will have someone to picnic with during the school year. I make lovely potluck dishes, and I am quite friendly. So vote for me, errr... Missouri! Yeah, because everyone knows it's the BEST (and I'm not just saying that because Columbia is a poo town that just happens to be the best/only place to get a masters in photoj). Love, Miss Erin (Erin #1) P.S. Hello to Erin D., Erin #2! Pee S. I know a boy who thought Sade's "Smooth Operator" was actually "Roo Oppa-didda". It has a nice ring to it, but what about midgets? ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: oh, summer, oh.
by Greekesque＠aol.com 22 Oct '98

22 Oct '98

<< i don't have pez!! i've never eaten pez in my life and i don't know how to work a pez dispenser. i don't think i've ever even touched one. but then again, i've never seen star wars, and no - i wasn't brought up in a box in the basement... i've also never had turkey at thanksgiving.. this is all normal, right? >> dear teri, pez is pretty good. it sucks though, because it takes you a minute or two to put it in the dispenser, and you eat it all in about 15 seconds... but that's just a rough estimate. you should go pick up some pez and a despenser, just to see what's it's all about. it makes you feel pretty cool... i haden't seen star wars until the summer between 8th and 9th (that's when your a freshman) grade.. it was really early in the summer and my best friend's (mike cambell) parents had gone out of town. so me and him were left in his house, with his older brothers who were never home. i had seen bits and pieces of star wars on tv, like when my dad was watching it, but never the whole thing. so we decided to watch all of the star wars, start to finish. we did too, and it was pleasent. that weekend we also snuck out a lot (which wasen't hard, considering his parents were'nt there. we just walked out the door.) and rode our bikes to the convient store which wasen't even that close. it was great. i also had a huge crush on a girl that weekend... her name, to this day, stands as sue majewski. (it's funny because we both agreed that princess laia (or however you spell it) kinda looks like her.) we listened to a lot of the band minor threat that weekend aswell. when his oldest brother, mathew stoped in late on friday, we asked him if he liked minor threat. he said yeah, and did some silly dance. then he ran upstairs and got us this super old minor threat video, and we watched it well. that night we also decided to stop drinking alcohol and junk like that... to this day i still don't, but mike does. we came to call that weekend the "minor threat weekend". love; christian jay sienkiewicz +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Can't think of one.
by Gary Done 22 Oct '98

While glancing through the latest digest, I came cross this scandalous accusation.... BUT poo to that for now, for I have pressing news of an urgent manner. The list member formerly known to you as Gary, has CHANGED both his name and career! he has given up badger watching for the worthy lifestyle of rockstar, oh yes. he will start his brilliant career (hoohoo) tomorrow, with his cover of Brimful Of Asha....with slightly different lyrics that we thought o dahn the pub..... "Theres some grim looking badgers down the tut'n'shive, Peter Millers got a balsawood dildo..." I mean don't get me wrong, it's nice to know I now have a career (just don't tell those nice people at Social Security), but I deny all knowledge. It was all Sarah's idea, I was too busy laughing at Andrew Kok's lighting show room... hey, I'm easily pleased. So there's no need for you to risk taking that Uzi through customs Mr Miller after all. 87) I can assure the good man miller has name only popped up, 'cos I was collaborating with the OTHER titan of welsh rockiness upon your Pync Roc Cymraeg tape :) Would I make allegations abotu someone who calls themselves Bobby Chariot? OH NO! A damn fine tape it is as well if I say so myself. I hope you like Aled Jones Peter. 87) Jordi wrote.... After two or three weeks of being in the list, I have a little question to do: Is there any spanish sinisterite in the list ? or South-American ? Please, let me know. I think there's a couple at least isn't there ?. Also PJ and Duncan speaks Spanish do you not Mr Miller, so does Fluffy, well she claims to, but it's just broken English in a bad Lancashire accent. Oh boy am I dead. 87) Bye all Gary +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Kevan Cooke, wrote... "Did anyone else ever watch the wrestling on ITV? Not the WWF stuff, the old UK wrestling with Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks that they used to show until the mid-eighties." Oh yes indeedy and it was. Ace. Every Saturday afternoon at 4o'clock me and me Nan used to sit down and watch the wrestling. Wasn't Kendo Nagasaki a mean git ?. I felt sorry for Big Daddy's tag team partner, cos they always had to have the crap beaten out of them for ten minutes, then somehow crawl over to the corner to tag BD before he kicked the shit out of the opponent. They do all the hard work, then he waltz's in a takes the glory. Doesn't seem fair to me. Then Sam wrote.... "Regarding the Julie Christie thread, Stephen Duffy wrote a song titled 'Julie Christie' in the mid-80s. This is when he sounded aweful. Does anyone remember 'Kiss Me'?" Oh that was bad, if I remember right it contained that immortal line "Kiss me with your mouth" except the words were staggered making it sound really silly, niiiice. 87) Still it could have been worse, it could have been "Icing on the Cake", now that was BAD. OI Fluffy, when you eventually get round to reading this, "Icing on the Cake" is on that horrible NOW5 thing, hear how bad it is. Mr Miller wrote.... "Theres some grim looking badgers down the tut'n'shive, Peter Millers got a balsawood dildo..." "My friend Sarah wrote that, no doubt gurning at the same time, just like JO DUNNE and her trademark star-shaped sunglasses from We've Got a Fuzzbox and We're Gonna Use it. Will I be getting previously unreleased Alarm demos?" Nope, you'll be getting some tippity top Welsh tunes, by some of the bestest Welsh bands around and by bands who the people who are in the bestest Welsh bands used to be in.... and Mixies Men, who somehow made it on despite being from Birkenhead, on the strength that A), They're fantastic and B) They used to support Anherfn a lot. Sarah gurning, never, actually we were in the pub thinking, "my god this place is shit". Hehehe funny you should mention the mullet kings there. I came across a copy of Declaration (it's the first Alarm album for those who don't know... which is probably all of you) in the market. Sarah found the cover a mixture of amusing and scary, I don't say I blame her much do you ?.
