I'll be gone for a month so I'm unsubscribing for a month. Thank you for all of the excitement. I will be back with many stories to tell Happy Thanksgiving to all of those who believe in the Great Turkey. I hope he gives presents to all the nice boys and girls. ...CARMEN... P.S. I'm pissed that I won't be around for the release of Modern Rock Song. I hope I hear it before I get back! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Mullet heads/Tigermilk/Jessica fiasco/B&S anyone?
by OLDSCHREC＠aol.com 25 Nov '98

25 Nov '98

Yes, Bowie and Suzi Quatro would have been original mullet head haircut wearers but neither had the token moustache. My friend Drew, crazy bastard, wants a copy of the Tigermilk lp. Someone said they were selling one for $250 a bit back and he is interested. Jessica, you go for it girl. Never let an opportunity at love to stand in your way. Be it other relationships etc.... Humans aren't meant to be attached to just one mate or we wouldn't ever had come with divorces and heart-break-up country songs (mullet head reference again?) Any new newz on B&S to report. Doesn't it seem like the latest single due to be released date feels like it has taken an eternity?

Sinister: xmas tape exchange
by Jim Schmidt 25 Nov '98

25 Nov '98

i had an idea last night as i pondered the whereabouts of the mysterious black sessions tape which is lost somewhere between france and san francisco (sing to "arthur's theme") and sulked over the fact that the u.s. tape forest was destroyed and i was left without a single tree... anyway, i love xmas...there...i've come clean. and i was wondering if anyone would be interested in participating in a tape exchange with other members on the list...it will be a kind of secret satan exchange... everyone interested can email me and let me know and then next monday i'll email each person individually and let them know where they can send their wondrous creation...and that way, everyone will get at least one gift this year... i'll randomly match tape sender with receiver and the only thing you need to let me know if you're interested in participating is: a) your name b) your address c) whether you will send anywhere in the world, or wish to remain domestic (or which countries you are willing to ship to) d) something you really dig (besides b&s) to aid the person who will send you your tape/gift please don't participate if you won't be able to send your gift tape by dec. 9th...there's nothing worse than being giftless at xmas. look forward to hearing from everyone. cheers.jim. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: more blinkers
by Tjonrr＠aol.com 25 Nov '98

25 Nov '98

the bit about blinkers in a century of fakers should be taken in context with the rest of the verse. they are wearing blinkers because they dont have time for anyone else. this is why the people in the line before are lonely, because they wont spend any time with them and the next couple of lines is their excuses of why they are blowing the lonely people off and ignoring them. thats what i thought anyway, sorry if it doesnt make any sense im not very good with words and i know most of the rest of people who offered opinions were very eloquent. also sorry if i have got the details of the song wrong but i was doing it from memory and thinking about it in the bath. from tjohn "all my soul records spin on my hifi make me feel like God is within me but hes not, its a lie, i am empty..." hefner- the science fiction +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Mullets, duffel coats and others...
by Mark Iles 25 Nov '98

25 Nov '98

>But seriously, thanks to whoever did this site, for addressing one of the >biggest fashion mysteries I have ever known, namely, why do people wear >these stupid haircuts? I, myself, had a friend who was studying to be an >architect! And he had a mullet! Now would you let this man design your >house? He's probably do mullet bushes or something. More likely the roof to your house would be short at the front and long at the back. We all know that we shouldn't be judging people on their haircuts/coats/whatever, but it's pretty hard not to. My personal bete noir of the moment are those stupid kappa tracksuit things. I'm sure you couldn't do any form of exercise in them even if you wanted to, because they're afr too baggy. Then again, I've never seen anyone over the age of fifteen wearing one, so maybe it can be excused as a youthful folly. A bit like the non-matching pink and green day-glo socks I firmly believed were the height of fashion when I was about nine. Are duffel coats cool then? I kind of like the idea of them, but I'd feel really silly wearing one. They seem firmly rooted in childhood and I always associate them with Paddington Bear. Maybe if I wore them with dummy mittens (the ones which are joined by elastic running through the arms of your coat) and red wellingtons it would look like some kind of ironic fashion statement a bit like the people who wear the dodgy NHS-style glasses I used to hate wearing when I was little. I think I'd end up looking even more silly with a duffel coat, though... maybe girls would look good in them in a twee kind of way. Anyway, I digress...

Sinister: a question in french and the trouble with pop-music and Belle & Sebastian on stage
by Julien Boeldieu 25 Nov '98

25 Nov '98

Hi everyone ! 1. A question in french Une question aux listies parisiens : qui va au concert de Nada Surf ce jeudi (demain) � la Locomotive ? 2. The trouble with pop music and Belle & Sebastian on stage Yesterday I saw the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. That was... an explosion (OK, it was easy, I'm sorry) ! I still can't believe what I saw and heard on stage. They're certainly the best performers I've ever seen. I think sometimes the trouble with pop-music is that it is not a good music to be played and to listen to live. I went to so many concert where I was just listening to a band playing songs, and that's all ! I don't mean that that kind of concert is boring, not at all. It's often a pleasant moment to spend. The miracle with Belle & Sebastian is that they can reproduce on stage the same fragility and sensitivity they give on their records, which was not obvious and is always magical actually. But that is not enough to me. In such concerts you can easily close your eyes and let you take by the music, making abstraction of the band who is playing... and the trouble is here. I don't want to make silly comparisons, because Belle & Sebastian and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion have nothing in common. But the fact is that I always had a feeling of frustration, not while (because you are charmed and delighted) but after seeing Belle & Sebastian live (and that happened 4 times). Of course, it is not necessary to be dressed like Elvis, to play the guitar on your knee, to roll on the floor and to jump from your amp screaming things like "blues is number one but I play rock'n'roll" to give great concerts. The difference is that the three musicians of the Blues Explosion are all quite sexy and glamour, and that they give anything they have on stage. Not only their songs, but themselves as well. The show was blazing. They seemed burnt and *haunted* by their music. They were not only playing, but they were *living* their music and they gave to it more soul than it has on their records. And that is what I want to hear and to see when I'm going to a concert, and that's not what I saw with Belle & Sebastian. In the early 70's, Bowie showed that you could play pop music and give blazing concerts. But I don't blame anyone. I love to see Belle & Sebastian on stage actually - and the fact is that in spite of anything I can say it is very addictive. I think finally that Belle & Sebastian have nothing more to give than their songs, and that's just fine as long as they touch me. And I don't know why I care actually. 12 homeless died in one week in France because of the cold and the coldness of this society which is not able to give a home to everyone. That makes me very angry. I'm sorry, I'm in my Hate and War mood today. I have love only for all of you. Love, Julien _________________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

WOT? how could saggitarians be way down on the list? i am an aquarius leftie girl and might i say my favorite signs (other than aquarius of course) are gemini, libra, and saggitarius. virgos are okay too, most of the time.. saggitarians have great gifts to offer! but they are usually withdrawn and introverted. yes? hmm, but queen bee janine is not very withdrawn... okay maybe i don't know that much about astrology either. but janine, wouldn't you say that jesse chen and erik laroi are both very withdrawn and internal? i could name a few other saggs... -lorraine > >Having said that, at the moment there's an ongoing thread about people's >star signs (sound familiar) - and Sagittarians are waaay down on the list. >I am both leftie and saggy (you know what I mean), what with it being my >birthday today (or yesterday by the time this gets sent). > ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
