(What?) GO HOME. OK.... : ) you mean Pixies in some cartoon tv, yes? for a moment i thought it's the little pixies in the woods, calling my name. hence me promptly concluded that Fluffy must have been socializing with some welsh magicmushroom band. what kind of dog is Andalucian? anyhow i like this sentence, maybe i should put it as my signature from now on. in honour of Fluffy the Pixie. incidentally, my apologies to you and everyone i had the permission to take photo of. i thought i sent them all out ages ago, but my thought was not what really happened. meanwhile, a few of the photo is in the safe hand of Linda so it will definitely be handled much more effectively. my computer just came back last week, to my agony because everything in my old computer is gone. i no longer have anyone address. therefore, friends and relatives, would you be so kind as to email me again. andre, ed, tim (still not back?!), orange purple silver chalotte (that's fun competition : ), and big stu. (oh that crush thing! Thank you for the three votes for me, i'm in tears with grattitute. own up and thou shall be rewarded. sorry, i'm trying very hard to catch up. only 750 mails to go!) now i'm grinning very widely listening to our own sinister boy Christopher A. Leonard (clapping my hand very loudly) he's made a record! Robin Williamson should be proud. well, actually i only heard a few Incredible String Band songs, from Chris himself. never heard old songs much, apart from those golden oldies on 'Soft FM' 'Smooth FM' 'Love FM' radio we have here. how they bore me to infinity. but now, Thanks to mr.symmington who played wonderful songs back at the b&s shows and Tag who made me a wonderful tape, my eyes have been slightly openned to the mother of all swinging things-the 60's. how could i live this long without it, ashamed. it's been winter in Thailand this last week. cool weather is very festive i think. you can't turn a corner without falling into a beer garden. i feel like i'm on holiday already eventhough i still have to go to work. enjoy your winter everyone. love, I am Oon, chien andalucia +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Dirty #2 - the video series
by Andras Zalan Szolnoki 30 Nov '98

30 Nov '98

Evning! I have this idea for the dirty two. One friend of the band is standing and waiting to take the tube from Plaza Bolivar to Sabana Grande , and on the way in the tube the friend put on hisher walkman and when heshe sits down it all gets blurry and the band are jumping around in a medow somewhere in northern spain , but oh what happens ! Rain starts to pour down and they run inside a cozy cabin which caches fire right after B&S close the door , but then Han Solo comes to the rescue together with r2-d2 and a whole new bunch of friends they picked up on their way , but their new found friends look just like packets of Marlborough or whatever and one in the band , they can decide this among themselves , starts to grab one of the alins by the head and is about to light its head when r2-d2 rams into himher and a huge fight breakes out , but then the song is over and the tube is at Sabana Grande and heshe take of hisher walkman and thats the end of the story. Well.. comments???

Sinister: for the heartbroken
by Alexandra Duric 30 Nov '98

30 Nov '98

Hello all, I didn't think I'd get as much of a response as I did when I initially posted, fretting about this friend who was dumped in the worst way possible, asking for music that would ease the pain or at least put it into perspective for her. IYFS won hands down over TBWTAS as far as which B+S album would be recommended (personally I agree - IYFS touches my heart on a different level than TBWTAS, which, in comparison, seems more light-hearted, less intense). Archel/Rachel said it best(Ryan agrees): "although b&s are not happy happy, they are therapeutic because they affirm life, in all its minutiae; b&s are about someone caring enough to write songs about the little people, which is why i love them. abstract depression/self-indulgence is not good for a broken heart, but boys on bikes and girls dreaming of horses can be." And I apologize if I didn't thank everyone who emailed me, so I'm doing it now. Thank you. She's doing much better; denial, perhaps for now, but no more crazy talk. Other suggestions, for those who may need to soothe a brokenhearted friend with music, included: Guy Chadwick's first album (thank you Julien, who is an absolutely open-hearted, wonderful guy) The Magnetic Field's - The Wayward Bus/Distant Plastic Trees (thanks Emanuel) the classic Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" (I know someone who played that over and over and over... believe me, it'll make you laugh) Arnold - Hillside and I personally think you can't go wrong with "A Brief History" of Elliott Smith. And Lady P? We're working on his comeuppence! All in good fun, of course! cheers, Alexandra ps - hi Carly, hi Alan. ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: monday morning wake up knowing that you've got to go to work...
by kellym＠raygun.com 30 Nov '98

30 Nov '98

ah... back from vacation. the bitter wind of LA was in full effect as i waiting for the 'latest-bus-in-the-world' this morning. sigh. oh well, i worked on some much needed indierock dance moves on the street corner while i waited. i was still one of the first into work and had time to clean up my office a little bit, here are some of the things i came across: a) four issues of Playboy magazine (wa?) b) a sort of masterview type of hold-it-up-to-the-light-and-see-pictures promo item for 2 Live Crew's '2 Live Party' featuring three dark-n-lovely ladies, all of whom you can't see their face but you can see EVERYTHING else. c) a yosemite sam pez dispenser d) one copy of Screw magazine. (i have no idea...) now, under normal circumstances i would be considered the smuttiest of them all for having these things at my desk, BUT, the key here is that all of these items were GIVEN to me, so in my mind i cannot be blamed. is it my fault pornography is attracted to me like a...um, like a... ok, the metaphor escapes me, but you know what i mean. ok, now i feel dirty and i need to go wash my hands of all of this. -kelly ryan mcguire kellym(a)raygun.com "you never hurt much anymore, you wan't me waiting at the door to kiss you as you walk on through, you think i've got nothing to do but i'm not waiting anymore" +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

by Jamie McCordale 30 Nov '98

"I'M JUST A LAZYBONES" That was a very beautiful poem, (congrats to Robin!) but i thought that the attempt to be made was to write a poem that rhymes with orange, month, silver and purple? and it also had no belle and seb content like you asked for... i am so very confused... but i did like the poem... a b*e*m*u*s*e*d* and c*o*n*f*u*s*e*d jamie ps. does anyone remember s*m*a*s*h?? and what of their side-project "auto-pop"? ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
