Sinister: the not so young ones
by Stephen Boyle 21 Nov '98

21 Nov '98

I turned 31 this year, so I guess B & S have put a dent in the over 30 set in NYC. But I did notice an inordinate number of early 20s types at the Nov 2 show in NYC. You may have noticed me, I was the geezer in the suit. Sorry for letting you all down but didn't have any time before the show to change. I did however, meet Lloyd Cole at a restaurant - and he's a fan! Anyone seen Roddy Frame lately?? Just some ancient thoughts..... Steve P.S. Friends from DC will be in NYC on amateur night (Nov 25) any advice for NYC listees for interesting bars off the beqaten track. HELP!! ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: how can you tell if you've got mumps?
by Alix Campbell 21 Nov '98

21 Nov '98

COWABUNGA! the batteries on my walkman ran out just at the end of LLPJ. pissed off pissed off...i must say though that i don't object to monica queen at all...yes, i'm a bit backward as to the current topic..i've been a bit scared to write, as i offended people last time..i babysat last night, and got very bored...so i attempted to play dirty dream #2 on a toddler's toy keyboard. it went quite well, considering. it's a lovely view from the window here, autumnal, but a bit wintery too, all misty, and orange, green and brown. well, it's a bit dark now, but earlier... on the train to work the other day i saw a piece of grafitti. it said (in black) 'i love jon nicholason', and under it, in blue it said 'whatever, bitch' i can't find the feather duster bye alix.c "So don't approach me if you've no more to say than what you've been doing, or how much you paid for the beer in your hand. I really don't care and I might have to kill you, which wouldn't be fair. On me" - Prolapse 'Killing The Bland' +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Smut rating: 6
by WeeJay 21 Nov '98

I'd better make this quick - this place closes soon and I only got up at 3 due to a night up watching 'scream' and 'scream 2' with a lot of people I only sort-of know all night. Firstly sinister has got it's first flame - a milestone in the time of any mailing list but obviously not a nice thing at all. Actually, it'd be best not to comment on it, so forget what I just said and dont reply to it. 'A Short Album About Love'? Good, but not up to 'Liberation' or 'Fin De Siecle'. And I'm afraid that if you buy an Arsenal shirt I won't speak to you again. Harsh but fair. What else... hmmmn... I saw a documentary a few days ago called 'men at 50' and one of them said something to the effect of 'I heard that men think about sex every 5 seconds... I'd say that was about right.' Now I've always thought that this was a pretty ludicrous urban myth but, people, is it true? Perhaps I'm ludicrously undersexed, cos it only crosses my mind perhaps a couple of times a day. More if you count 'She'sBeautifulShe'sBeautifulILoveHerILoveHer' or listening to B&S and imagining snuggling up to somone in bed to it. Yes, TABBYWARS may not be a shag album, but it's definately a snuggle album.

Hopefully.) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: a very short story to brighten your day
by r. h. 21 Nov '98

21 Nov '98

as i've said i work in a shitty music store. but one day i threw in TBWTAS and around that time a couple around 80 years old or so came in. i ask if they needed any help and they said no, but i noticed he was tapping his foot. i didn't say anything and went about doing my work. well the song TBWTAS came on and about half way through it they were headed out the door(they had been there to hear practically the whole album) the old man turns to me with a big smile on his face and says(while clappin his hands with the beat) "how could you possibly work with such wonderful music playing". needless to say it cheered my day up from checking in c.d.'s all day. maybe it will do the same for you. robbie in my c.d. player: the exotic sounds of martin denny ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: A vodka bottle gave you those racoon eyes
by mctag＠bigfoot.com 21 Nov '98

21 Nov '98

Hello Playmates, So, as Christopher Alexander Leonard pointed out, there's an evil Tag clone that walks amongst us. I've been through a variety of emotions since learning this. First I was afraid, I was petrified. Now I've learnt to accept my more ample-trousered twin, and intend to celebrate his presence and milk his whopping chopper for all its worth. Personally, I think this is the result of Linda's EEVL project. She's trying to swap our personalities around. I think I'm turning into Keith. I've already developed an extraordinary pop trivia knowledge, a tendency to fall asleep in flower beds, and my arms are involuntarily twitching along imaginary fretboards whenever I hear a Pete Townsend solo. So there's no need to chose a new Duke. One of you will become him. It could be you. Myself, Mr and Mrs Warrander John, and Antipodean list lurker Caleb went to a record fair this morning. As predicted by the Dandy, the smelly soul grandads were out in force. But we were hip to their jive, neither of us have washed or changed our underwear for a month, we carefully cultivated 3 days of stubble, and as a result we were afforded preferntial treatment at every stall. My most prized purchase was "Automatic Lover" by Dee D Jackson, the cover of which I suspect will give poor Emma nightmares in weeks to come. I'll let John tell you about his most prized purchase himself, as it will give him a chance to woo his hero and all. Carmen, welcome to our extended family. I'm glad to see you making tentative toddlings into the world of off-topic nonsense. And to her critics...in all honesty, if I hadn't seen just how good this list can be with my own eyes, I'd probably be just as cynical as she was. So be gentle with her. That is all, Love tag xx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: SHELAGH DELANEY ANYONE ?
by Nikolas Montaldi 21 Nov '98

21 Nov '98

HI LIST... I was just wondering if any of you people share my passion for writer/playwright Shelagh Delaney ? It would not surprise me if she was little known outside the U.K, since she has really been a very lazy Shelagh. She wrote the most perfect play "A Taste Of Honey" aged nineteen,and after that little else,apart from a funny collection of short stories "Sweetly Sings The Donkey" and a less convincing play.This was of coourse billions of years ago,sometime in the early 1960's,so she is almost forgotten today.I just mention her because her characters have all very Belle&Sebastian-esque qualities,from the stubborn and rebuked Jo in "Taste Of Honey" to the half knowing,half innocent adolescent boys ad girls in her short stories. Delaney herself seems to have been a wonderful character and I have a ace photograph of her hanging above my desk,however I know little about her.Nonetheless I find it rather adorable to be hailed as some literary genius at 19 and then to retire at 25 unwilling to become part of the establishment,don't you think so? Well thats all from me for today - Greetings from the boy with the blocked up nose. P.S:Stephane,I'm sorry that I still haven't send you the book I promised.I've got a dreadful cold and have since been unable to make my planned trip to Edinburgh.Did you get my note last week? ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
