Sinister: A train story
by Thew Sarah 12 Nov '98

12 Nov '98

Stuff like this happens to me all the time - I can only put it down to the fact that if I was a super hero my special power would be "nutter magnetism" On the train to Penrith a really drunk old Glaswegian guy came and sat with me, and tried to share his can of special brew - mmmm ..I was tempted, but refused. Then this old woman walked down the aisle and he reached out and pinched her bum.. which wasnt really funny cos she was SO offended, but I couldnt help laughing..... And that really set him off - this guy kept singing to me about how sad he was that i didnt love him anymore. And then tears started rolling down his cheeks.. EVERYONE in the carriage was staring at the pair of us.. so at the next stop I had to pretend to get off the train and escape into the next carriage. Where i bumped into Will Self..weird...am sure there is a lesson to be learned from this ..

"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). " what a poohead. of course, what I meant to write was "does anyone KNOW how it fared".

Sinister: I'm gonna love you anyhow
by Jackson,John 12 Nov '98

12 Nov '98

Morning Sinisteroids I, like some other people, bought the Acid House soundtrack yesterday, not specifically for the B&S tune on it though, it's a good compilation I think. Slow Graffiti is rather gorgeous though isn't it? Now that it's finally recorded 'properly'. I always thought it was a bit dull live and a bit of a mish mash when everyone is making the racket at the end, but listening in the comfort of my living room I felt entirely different towards it. It's got everything you need, quiet bits, loud bits and it stops before it becomes too boring. Nice. Also, got the Elliot Smith album XO after hearing the song 'Waltz no.2' on Mark n lard the other day, I thought he was rubbish in Leeds but this album is fucking brilliant and 'Waltz no.2' is one of the most beautful songs I have heard this year. You've probably all already got it though. I'm a bit slow on the uptake you see. 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. Oh dear one of my digital transmitters has just turned itself off. Cheerio.

Sinister: grim patches

None

oh my ga! i have a great selfish idea. my c.d. player got stolen out of my car a couple months ago and i still haven't got a new one. so i have been listening to tapes ever since and they are starting to dull up a bit. so i was wandering if there are any of you out there who just love forcing new music on people with tapes you make them. personally i'm one of those people but i want some new stuff to keep me going. and i don't know if any of you have heard of my friend brad, you know the big ol' pimp who got 3 votes and left his only true friend jealous and crying, well he has like 4,362 c.d.'s but he's nice enough to make tapes for me all the time so i figured i'd turn to someone else. and besides he's REALLY into making tapes, i mean it's pretty sick, i once caught him getting off to making someone a blank tape on the list. i don't know who but one of your tapes out there was his playboy at some point in time. anyway, i know there used to be a mixed tape tree going on but i don't want that i just want a tape for me. but i'll be happy to return the favor. mabye even get some tracks from brads infamous collection, who knows. or if you really like i could pimp brad myself to you in return! so i ask all of you to feel pitty on this poor soul, imagine if it was you with nothing to listen to on the road to work every morning. robbie ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: vicarious bus shenanigans
by keith m 12 Nov '98

12 Nov '98

because i am not all that clever i thought i'd use the frank and walters 'happy busman' for my bus story:) andy james drives a bus for the lonely, he cheers up everyone every day, andy james loves them all like his family, and i think he's some ??? guy, why not jump on the five for your journey, it's a bus ride you'll never regret, andy james will make everyone happy, and his smile you'll never forget, he's got pink carpet on the sliding door and super baubles on the marble floor don't need no money cause the entry's free and i think james is gonna make the whole world smile with love. so smile, smile all the time, smile all your life don't ever die. how could you not love the frank and walters? keith mcl i saw the 'is it wicked not to care' video, tis a shame the screen is about 3 cm x 2 cm. the hefner video at that site is pretty silly. i wonder if they will tour the states now that their record is available here? hefner-fever is spreading fast right? +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Good festivals and other questions
by Jordi Trenzano Vilar 12 Nov '98

12 Nov '98

Martin wrote: "Saint Etienne, the Fanclub, Sonic Youth, Goldie, Bjork??? Lordy Jordi that does indeed sound like fine festival fare. Sure beats seeing Lawagon at midday in a field in Berkshire." Well I forgot to talk about Primal Scream, Placebo, Yo la Tengo, The Jesus & Mary Chain, Spiritualized, The Unbelievable Truth or the Red House Painters at the same festival. This festival is being made for the last four years, and it is sit in Benicassim, a seaside town near Valencia. This year me and 24.999 more went there. But, oh, in february-march, when I first heard the name of some bands for this last edition, B&S WERE INCLUDED ! Can anyone tell me what happened then ? Another question related with B&S: The "Acid House" soundtrack has been released also in Europe (obviously, not including UK) ? Lately I have been hearing to Jack, The Fall, the first R.E.M albums, Nick Cave, Ani di Franco, and the wonderful spanish band LE MANS. If you come to Spain and want to buy a really lovely record, buy their latest "Aqui vivia yo" ("Here is where I used to live"). I know, they sing in spanish, but does it really matter ? it?s a shame, because they had disbanded recently. If Spain had a musical press like the british one ( I know that their tastes are quite debatable, but in Spain it would be impossible to see bands like Radiohead or Portishead reach at the highest positions in the charts) they would have had a bigger success. The musical scene here is basically shit. You can only find good bands at the independent resources, and they are quite excluded from the media. Bye.Lordy Jordi.

Sinister: A mistake, English v. America, & Atlanta
by Mew817＠aol.com 12 Nov '98

12 Nov '98

First of all, while complimenting Neil on his funny story about buses, for some reason I addressed him as Keith...sorry. Secondly, I really enjoyed that piece that Rachel sent about the English and American debate... Finally, is there anyone on this list from Atlanta, GA? OK that's all, next time I write I promise to add B&S content!
