Sinister: Southpaws Unite!
by Maggie Hays 19 Nov '98

I rarely find a topic suitable enough for me to write into the list about (and I have been on this list for almost a year now), but as a leftie I feel that it is my job to come out of the lurkingness and speak. My question is this....I am dating another leftie. Now with this sex thing do two lefties cancel each other out? Is it sort of like a negative times a negative thing? I need to know for future reference. Also, I am proud to say that I have converted four people so far into B&S. Now, if each of these people in turn convert four other people do I get to count these new listeners as convertees also?? This could be an interesting math problem: Maggie has four friends that she gets to listen to her brilliant music. If every month each listener gets four more people to listen, how many B&S fans will Maggie have converted after four months? Just a thought to ponder.....

Sinister: Nobility

~ >Cheese vs.Giraffe >What does cheese have? Mould? And handy little holes you can hide things in, and you don't have to be thirty feet tall to reach it. You can also keep it in your fridge - when was the last time you saw a Giraffe in your fridge ??? Cheese wins every time...I still hate it though. ~ Two list crush votes - you sad twats. ~ PJM wrote : If we must have a new Duke, my vote goes to shy retiring Keith Watson. Haha, my first mail of the day was from a certain Alistair Fitchett. He asked me how the list was going and I said it had gone a bit pooey of late. And then I read all my digests and its been one of the funniest days in quite some time. You can all give yourselves a pat on the back and have some Skittles, but don't touch the red ones or there'll be hell to pay. As for new nobility on the list I am inclined to agree with Miller and say that Keith Watson, despite not having much to say lately, he got de knowledge. ~ Poverina wrote : Oh, is that another grey hair I spy among the reddish brown ones? GINGER BEACON !!! I tell you they're taking over the world. ~ Michelle Wagner "used to work with a sweet, dumb woman named Giuseppina -- she was in her 50's and loved Rock Hudson to distraction. "What a MAN!" she'd say" mmmm....not too dumb then ? ~ Lastly can I just wish Kevan Cooke all the best in his Pop Subbuteo World Cup. I hope there are no problems with player registration when it comes to Mr Donovan. Are there any tickets left for your games ??? I used to own an Exeter City FC subbuteo team. There's nothing funny about it, I just thought I'd let you know. ~ Good Evening to you all.

I know there are a lot of Sagittarian babies on this list.

Sinister: They're taking it out on us
by Heather Marie Propes 19 Nov '98

19 Nov '98

What is the general interpretation of this line: "All the others did drugs they're taking it out on us" Is this the lament of a drug-free generation Y-er who is faster, leaner, smarter, and more computer savvy than his washed-up 60's, 70's and 80's counterparts who did drugs and are now taking out their feelings of inferiority for having done them on him? Is this what I have to look forward to from my children? Yikes!

Sinister: Cryptic Message 29
by WeeJay 19 Nov '98

19 Nov '98

Still no votes for me. Ah, you'll all come running back when I put my photo up on the site. Juschoowait! Ah, but then... Someone said they were young, free and single. I am young and single but alas not free. Decypher that if you will. What else...? The Monica Queen debate seems to be firing up again. Can't see the problem myself, in fact I think she improves the song. Ivo A P Escossia said, "Fin de Siecle is growing in me" Which I'll take as a further reccomendation. People, buy this album - It's even better than 'Liberation' and that is a compliment of enormous stature. I dont know why but today I'm incredibly happy for no good reason at all. I'm not analysing it for fear that it'll go away... Still, it's nice. More importantly, cheese wins because you cant have melted giraffe on your crumpet. Tab button won't work, WeeJay PS Glad the argument has stopped. Well done.

Sinister: Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy

Linda wrote: some stuff about Ice Breakers Thanks, I was beginning to think I'd gone doolally. No wonder you are so wise, Linda. 1965! That's unthinkable for me. I was born in the political upheaval of May 68, which is probably why I'm such a left-wing radical. And why I can't remember that girl watering the plants on the Double Deckers. Chris wrote: Rod Begbie which has sent me hurtling into a profound depression. I miss Rodd. Roddd, Rodddd, wherefore art thou Roddddd? Have any Boston listees bumped into Rodddddd yet? Chris also wrote: something about lacking pop direction without the Duke. I know how you feel. Since Duke defected to the Shalala flexilist I feel all at sea as well. Instead of enjoying his company and wisdom on equal terms, I am reduced to pressing my nose up against the window and reading the archives, an outcast from life's popfeast. You see, it's invitation only, and I didn't get one. It's all McMick McMick's fault. I want an invitation! I promise not to join if I get an invitation, but this indie exile is playing hell up with my lumbago. Tim Hopkins is the evil mastermind behind it all. He's fat, he's round, he represents the pop underground. If we must have a new Duke, my vote goes to shy retiring Keith Watson. Peter In my CD player: the theme music from Test Match Special on repeat. I bet none of you know who plays the piano and cowbells? Give up? Why, it's Isaac Hayes of course! Isn't that a remarkable thing? I knew he was fantastic all along. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Blacky's Boys and other lefties

Evan Gregg wrote: "another underrecognized (though they could never be worshipped enough to please me) is Giant Sand, though off shoots like Calexico and Friends Of Dean Martinez are getting some exposure Giant Sand is criminally unknown in general im sure plenty of people will disagree with me but i have to say that they are the best band in america if not the most talented group of three musicians" ...And all I can do is agree. Newcomers to their twisted desert rock should check out Swerve, The Love Songs, Ramp, Center Of The Universe et al right away. Of course, live they are somewhat ramshackle, but as Howe Gelb once remarked its all part of a search for the "wobble and the crawl". He's a one-off, an utterly captivating flake poet genius while his rhythm section are as tight as the legendary gnat's chuff. They did the best ever version of 'All Along The Watchtower' and had the audacity to follow it up with the best 'Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory' you'll ever hear too. And OP8's cover of 'Round And Round' is also bewitching, in a Shoey revival kinda' way. Now then, having seen how quickly you all picked up the conversational baton re. what you are wearing (hmm, cardies and indie band T-shirts still seem to predominate) and what you all think of B&S' font usage (at least one of you was particularly effusive on this vital matter), I should now like to know how many of us are, like the good Mr Murdoch, left-handed. That's left-handed in the left-handed sense of the word, by the way. I am, and I reckon there's an above average proportion of us cack-handed-useless-with-scissors-stick-our-tongues-out-when-trying-to- use-a-potato-peeler-types out there. Look at my website and you'll see I even play my bass in the 'sinister' fashion. -- Martin Horsfield, leftie +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
