Sinister: come on feel the noize

hey all you berkeley sinister listers....where were you??? i wore my brand-spanking new study at stow shirt yesterday, and not a single person walked up and threw their arms around me, nor did anyone even stare at me strangely. let's make a deal where every time you see someone in a B&S shirt you walk up and introduce yourself. by the way, speaking of excellent music, everyone should got out and give a listen to joan baez. only her earlier stuff. i highly recommend "THE FIRST TEN YEARS" album, if only for the joy that is "sweet sir galahad." plus you get lots of other great songs, and it is a friendly introduction to the sweet-voiced old folkie. you can find it very cheaply on vinyl used, which is a boon to the poorer among us. why joan baez? well, for me it is nostalgia of a sort....reminds me of my childhood, my parents were folkies, you see. the music is very sincere, there are a number of fabulous protest songs, and she sings some bob dylan songs. this is good, because dylan is an excellent songwriter, but he cant sing worth crap. it is good to give his songs to others. her music is very laid-back and smooth, yet filled with emotion. her voice is clear and calm. well, that is all i can think of to say. bye. robin. am i talking too fast or are you just playing dumb if you want i can write it down +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: higgledy pig writes with his pig pen
by Blissxo＠aol.com 13 Nov '98

13 Nov '98

hello all, i'm a little sad about not getting any crush votes at all, but i've been able to console myself by playing my flute and curling up in a ball, rocking back and forth with tears running down my red cheeks. but no worries, the karma will get you soon enough. the christmas music started at my work today. there must be some statistics documenting the rise in violent homicides during this festive time of year. i'm a little irritated about being stuck with this canadian accent - nobody thinks it's cute, except for americans ("can you say 'abooot' again?!"), and in the meantime everyone is all gushy over girls with british accents. i understand it isn't your fault, but could you possibly try to come across as a little less sweet and adorable? really, even in your emails, all you brits just make everyone want to hug you and give you lollipops. poo. i can't believe it's november 12 and there's no snow in toronto. i remember one year it was october 6 when we had the first real snow, when it actually stayed on the ground and you could make snowballs. i have a coat that i love, actually i have a few but my ice princess coat is really great, it's sheepskin and is three quarter length and has sheep fur on the inside and suede on the outside, and the collar has sheepfur all over it and so do the cuffs. apparently, i glow when i wear it, which suits me just fine. maybe if i send a picture of me wearing that to the list, i could be someone's crush. because really, i'm quite sassy. and polite, too. thank you. truly, jessicaxo +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

hi there! i was dissapointed that the polls for the listee crush closed so early! i have a crush, but i didn't get the chance to post it. do i dare reveal it now? that way i will be the first one to "fess up" in front of all the sinisterites including my crush? ummm don't know... maybe i will say who it is next time! someone mentioned that they knew what the girl (isobel) is reciting during "i could be dreaming" is it from c.s. lewis? i can't remember. can someone shed light on this for me? also, i am looking for someone to tape for me the few songs like "loneliness of a middle-distance runner" that still remain unreleased! if anyone out there is interested, i can send a black tape to you and pay the postage for you to send it back to me! i don't have any special sessions to record in return, sorry! :( that is it for now, i have something special to post in my next e-mail! :) the gushing infactuated one, jennifer +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: NY show review, g(u)it me away from here
by Ian Connelly 13 Nov '98

http://www.netspace.org/indy/current/arts3.html (beginning graph below....hmm, mentions of cardigans? must've been written by someone on this list!) also, i've been trying to destroy my delicate fingers on a friend's guitar again...and discovered this tab for _she's losing it_ (below). to be blunt, it strikes me as totally wrong. any of you amateur satrianis have a second opinion? (mine is that it's Am, D, E7) http://www.saturnet.net/olga/main/b/belle_and_sebastian/shes_losing_it.crd la la la later, ian (who's wearing a black cardigan today and was actually asked by zealous co-workers to wear a red one to work tomorrow) ( NP: sebadoh _the sebadoh_ ) (the article starts out like this....) Wee Belles Belle and Sebastian play the Supper Club, November 1st (by Dan Shindell) Upon entering New York City's Supper Club, I knew something had gone horribly wrong. I had forgotten something. The tickets, perhaps? No. The valet ticket? Uh-uh. Wait a minute: a Belle and Sebastian concert and me without my cardigan and wayfares. This was going to be like that day in the third grade when I wore purple on a Thursday... +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Hi All, Kevan "Big-Boy" Cooke wrote.... "The (now officially) gorgeous Fluffy insinuated that I may have voted for her as a result of roses changing hands in Sinister chat. As she well knows my vote was placed solely on the basis of her retracting a statement she had previously made pertaining to my smelling of wee." I wouldn't worry, she's tells everyone they smell of wee, except me. Apparently, I'm a smellhead..... or a smellybelly, depending on what sort of mood she's in I suppose. Gary, I'd love to join you in the car park, but I'm a lover not a fighter. And besides, nothing scares me more than the thought of a red mullet. Please... I've not had the mullet for 13 years, come on, I do have some sense you know. Besides, I only wanted you all to help me fix the puncture on my car, no violence is necessary. 87) Then Senor Miller wrote... "Gary, was your mullet ginger?" Oh now come on, this was when I was a school boy in the mid eighties. Of course it wasn't ginger then. I dyed it half luminous green and half luminous red to match my socks. 87) Brad the arse wrote.... "to the guy that wants to take me outside and fight: c'mon, but i fight dirty....real dirty. pulling hair, smashing bottles, kissing you full on the lips when you least expect it, pinching your ass, grabbing your cockles, tonguing your ear, licking your choad....you don't wanna mess with me, pal. i'll fuck you up." Oh OK then, you've talked me into it, you could at least buy me a drink first though you cheap bastard. What kind of a boy do you think I am ?. 87) The John Jackson JJ wrote... "AND I also bought 'Junk Culture' and 'Dazzle Ships' by OMD. The latter is a most amazing album, commercial suicide you'd think...anyone one how it fared when it came out? (1983 I think). One 'song' consists of submarine noises followed by a klaxxon. Groovy baby groovy." I think it was a big flop, Genetic Engineering was quite a bit hit single... Telegraph wasn't though. Which is a shame, cos I like Telegraph, so it's a bit silly, I still like it. They only made a record like that, cos the music press kept asking them to stop writing songs about people who'd been dead for 500 years. I mean two songs about Joan of Arc on the same album, that's taking the piss a bit. So they went from selling lorry loads of top notch Electro pop to bargain bin hell in one step. Just goes to show you shouldn't listen to music journalists.... Hey Tag ?. 87) For top quality OMD entertainment though, you have to get the videos...... Oh dear.
