Hello hello!

Well now Jim, are you surprised? I spent 4 months of my life in the Bay Area last year and knew all the horrors of Poopscene, which, thankfully, I did not bother with after one or two visits. Oh sure, some will say it's easy to slag a club or "it's better than nothing". Are you maaaaad? No, damnit: revolt, resist against clubs who think that mod means playing one Jam song a week, umm, guess which one! Where jocks take over the dance floor when the WOO HOO song comes on, and a bitchy girl walks around selling candy like a cigarette girl, only honey, we don't want Pez, we want Marlboro Lights. Don't you find it rather revolting that they're having a B&S promo night, but the DJ won't play them? Is that not pathetic, schmoozing for free promo stuff for the sake of it? And where half the attendees will probably forget their freebies in the loo in a drunken haze, or hock them and the promos will show up in Mod Lang the next day. I say you all show up early, take all the posters and stuff and RUN. Find a pub that will let you play records all night, tape up the posters and start your own fun. Even better, take your treasures home and have a private disco in the comfort of your living room, which now looks like the Jeepster HQ only the posters are a bit wrinkled. Comrade Elisa xx p.s. Jim, I loved reading SF Weekly while I was there, lucky you working there! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Hi its Jake here, one of the 2 UK tape distributers , if thats what you can call us ( I think the other is the Duke, but don't quote me on that), for the french sessions. I haven't got a copy yet to record on. But in the mean time I'll collect the addresses of those wanting a tape. I would really appreciate tapes and/or stamps if you could, it's just I'm a poor old student blahblahblah, but at least I have plenty of time on my hands. Anyway Email me privately and we can sort out details and addresses.

Sinister: I saw The Acid House!
by barzy＠networkmags.com 06 Oct '98

And MAN..was it strange. In a good way..I think. If you've not read it, you'll be in a state of "WHAT THE?" but having read it...yeah. I thought it was great! It will either be subtitled, or not at all here in the states, as all the speaking is in Welsh's phonetic Scottish pronunciation...i'd imagine most American's would be totally befuddled. Oddly, I was so excited to see the film i'd forgotten all about "Slow Graffiti" until it popped up louder than anything. Not like a bit of it drifting in the backgroud whilst lovers strolled through a park..but sweet Stu's voice singing loud and strong while some twisted Irvine Welsh plot comes to life. I was so excited I squealed and started shaking my hands like a holly roller in church on Sunday. My mate who I was with (who thinks Belle & Sebastian sounds like "hippy dippy all over the place, music that goes no where and sounds like Greatfull Dead crap") just rolled her eyes. The soundtrack is reallllly good. Almost like they made a film just to do a soundtrack sort of thing. But all in all, was good. And I swear I spotted Welsh himself in the first bit sort of in the background sweeping something up, but maybe not. Slow Graffiti sounds sooooooo nice properly recorded. I want it now! No poncy Trashcan Sinatras gits though, that's Stork Maribu Nightmares...not sure when that one is out. beth +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Lovely SF show
by Jake Reichert 06 Oct '98

06 Oct '98

Hello listees (of both lists), Just thought I'd pass on news of a show coming up in San Francisco that may otherwise be overlooked. I'd known for some time that PJ Harvey was playing here, but never bothered to check to see who the opener was. Upon scanning the Guardian this morning, what to my wondering eyes did appear but that the opening band is, in fact, Rachel's! And just when I was starting to think that they'd treaded in some strange Midwestern glue that forced them to play from Urbana to Philly, but never out West. So I'll definitely be there with Bells & Whistles on. Hope to see some of you as well. -mrjake Is this the way the tigers do? How exactly do the tigers do? Hmmm. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: One of the quiet ones...

When was it that people started adding the disclaimer "sorry no B&S content"? I remember at the time thinking, "Hm." I miss Brad too. His wry emails used to make me smile. I would always skip down and read his first. There should be a Brad fanclub. As for being quiet, well some of us just like to observe, perhaps feeling too inadequate to contribute. Two weeks ago, I jumped fourteen thousand feet out of an aeroplane. All my friends were yelling and screaming afterwards and I just stood and stared at the ground. They were asking me if I was okay or if I had been scared, etc. How could I tell them that, no, it was fantastic. I just didn't want to ruin it by jumping up and down and yelling. Last night, I watched the sun set over (into) the ocean. The sky turned red and violet and way off in the distance there was a giant tanker. Ah, to be that tanker.

Sinister: Lurker Revealed!
by Goon Koch 06 Oct '98

06 Oct '98

Well, I've been lurking for a while, but then Seb's (he always makes me laugh out loud) recent appeal to the quiet people flushed me out. So you see what you've done! I'm afraid you've awakened a potentially most unquiet person . . . I am not a journalist. Well, I was for one day when I was dispatched to review a singer-songwriter in a terrible poseur club near NYU. He sang so terribly earnestly, with a leather vest over an otherwise bare torso and a ludicrous cap to cover his bald spot. He was terrible, but I couldn't bear to trash him in my little school paper. So that was the end of a promising career in subsidized cruelty; quashed before it even began. It's been said here before, but: Why is the Philly show still not sold out? But I should say that, officially, the Troc is bigger (1200 vs. 1000!) than the Supper Club. I couldn't believe how packed the Elliott Smith show was there last week. But then I thought he did "between the bars" way too fast and there was way too much obnoxious talking in the bar upstairs. Must have been the people who didn't realize that this song was in the movie and they were supposed to pay attention. There probably will be scalpers for the NYC shows, but I would stop short of issuing assurances to people flying over from the UK for that very purpose. Which raises the question: why are you flying to the States for a B&S gig? Do you fly to Kenya to harvest ice floes too? But, in general, I would say that, yes, tickets will be scalped at some point prior to this show. I'm so excited about the 11/2 show! I've tried to start a meet-up thread on the Jeepster board, but there have been no takers yet. Someone mentioned Korova Milk Bar. Never been there, but sounds great to me. okloveyoubyebye, -g. k.- ______________________________________________________ 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".
