Sinister: What a Transparent Day
by Mick McMick 10 Nov '98

10 Nov '98

Hullo List, Had an interesting day, thought I'd relate some tidbits. First, let me see, what I have I got in my bag of quoted posts... Says Jason Brent: > Anyways, I > noticed that he was playing all his choices on vinyl. When I asked him > why, he said everyone knows that cd's are going to turn to dust in 25 > years! Instant anxiety attack insued!!! He said most of the TRUE music > fans he sells to have all switched back to vinyl. Is anyone else aware > of this? Do you people buy cd's, or albums? Needless to say, I grabbed The deal is, some very old compact discs, from around '87 or so, have had some problems. At certain plants, the ink written on the CD has bled through the plastic as the years went by and pretty much ruined all CDs made at those plants. No one knows what the future of the rest of CDs holds, but they're probably okay. Then again, you never know. No one knew that color photographs fade after a time. At least, the ones made by today's processes. So the same sort of thing could happen, who knows. Lesley Jo, back on her own writes: > PTOOEY!! to the voting booth! I demand to know if anyone on this list > truly believes that "Arab Strap" is more deserving of top rating than > "Judy and the dream of horses" or "Photo Jenny" or "if YOu're feeling > sinister" or "Lazy...Jane". cos anyone who does, would just be plain > silly!! this is an outrage. I shall be entering my protest vote > forthwith.........(tho i can't comment on Modern Rock song as i have > yet to hear it!) No qualms have I with Arab Strappy on the top of the charts, but there are numerous songs I too think should rank above it. I'm probably the only hardcore proponent of "Electronic Renaissance," but oh well. I would like to proclaim the TRIUMPHANT VICTORY of Loneliness of Middle-Distance Runner over all foes! Huzzah! I don't understand people's fascination with Modern Rock Song, as it's one of my least-favorites. Too, I'm not that big of a fan of The State That I Am in. But of course we all know that Sinister has diverse tastes. It was a nice day out today, unseasonably warm, even. A nice breeze was blowing. I took this Ink Polaroid, so I'll let you all see. The picture is of me, though it's been taken from behind, so those of you unfamiliar with the back of my head may not of realized that it was me. It's decidely fall in Athens, and the air is thick with humidity, and a bit warm. I'm carrying a jacket with me, but I'm just wearing a T-shirt just now. It looks a bit odd, as I'm crossing a square, and as I'm walking I'm looking straight up at the sky. Then as your eye trails up to the sky, you notice all the leaves being blown about. Evidently I'm watching the leaves as they're blown about by the cool wind that is cutting through the humidity. They fall down slowly, billowed by the wind as they are, sort of like large, brown snowflakes. It's really quite pretty. A cursory examination of the lower regions of the picture yields several piles of leaves from the brilliantly yellow gingko tree in front of me. The wind is blowing them about in little eddies and whorls. There's a few raindrops on the wind, but they don't seem to bother me much. They're pretty infrequent, and cool rather than cold. Kind of nice actually. Later on the rain was to pick up, a few hundred paces from my apartment, and I had to don my jacket and pull the hood over. Despite the rain, upon getting to my apartment I grabbed an umbrella and while the rain spattered upon it, I picked up my mail, which to my surprise, included a recording of my next release! I'm quite pleased, needless to say. I must be off in a second, but first I must say I was able to wear my Study at Stow tee today (that's the one from the polaroid). I managed to find a fan amongst the masses, someone I used to have a huge crush on, who's dating my assistant from the radio station. She has good taste otherwise too. He doesn't like them much yet, of course, but he will... /"\_/"\_/"\ Mick McMick - bp224995(a)oak.cats.ohiou.edu - ICQ#5056758 \ / Sandcastle Records - (same e-mail for now) | | Sandcastle Homepage - | | http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Amphitheatre/4972/ | | "I am always wishing to make people | | in the world happy with my smiles." | | - Mr. Friendly +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: delusions of grandeur
by JonnyKat＠aol.com 10 Nov '98

10 Nov '98

Greetings from an increasingly cold city called New York. The Little Blonde Mark wrote: << But the best thing about NYC was the company of the listees I was lucky enough to meet. I'm only sorry that I didn't get to speak to some of you more, particularly Matthew, Brian, Michele, Minka and the legendary Jonny (are you feeling a bit better love?) >> Well, I am hardly legendary, but I *am* feeling a bit better, thanks. I am so sorry that we couldn't spend more time together, but you were an absolute angel. Which reminds me, dear listees, If you are saying to yourself right now, "Oh, there's that bastard Jonny, fancies himself a cat he does, he owes me a tape or an e-mail or a lurid encounter at a roadside toilet..." Please forgive me, as I have been under the influence of some strange bronchial infection which has caused me weeks of vague hallucinations. Indeed, just this morning I thought I was in foggy Paris with Julien, and he was making me some of his famous warm spiced wine to ease my throat. Or was he trying to poison me? Anyway, a bit later Joss came over and started playing children's lullabies on his turntables for me, with just a touch of scratchy-scratch, while I lay in recovery. Then I awoke out of my deluded stupor, screaming to an empty room, "NOT ONE CRUSH VOTE???!!!" Shortly thereafter, the lovely Janine Queen Bee buzzed: << Actually, come to think of it, every single person I have met from this list is adorable... what are the chances of that???!! I mean, Megan, Johnny, Anastasia, Lorraine, Mark, oh, I know there are more that I'm leaving out, but... you are all the CUTEST!!!! >> I realize this is not official, but I choose to construe this as a vote. Like I said, I am still a tad delusional. = ) I love you all to pieces, jonny the kat meow xxxxxooooo +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ 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 10 Nov '98

10 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 or Spiritualized 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. Finally: can anyone tell me why always that I write "I?ve been" appears the "?" symbol in the apostrophe ? should I change something in my computer ? Bye.Lordy Jordi.

Sinister: la petite fille de mon comic strip
by James Wilton 10 Nov '98

10 Nov '98

Hello! Does anybody know what happened to a man called Bill Fay? He did a couple of albums called 'Bill Fay' and 'Time of the Last Persecution'. I was jarred into asking this by Mojo mag, and seeing as everybody is soooo clued up on music round these parts you all seemed the ideal bunch to ask (and I hadn't posted anything for bazillions of years (does anyone else have stupid way of saying a large number?) I've just watched the first episode of that Rock Star thingy on channel 4 and it was toss! I hope it gets better next week, as I'm willing to give it a second go, but it will have to shape up, I can teel ye! I used to have a favourite coat. It was black and plasticky with red and white bits at funny angles. But it was also a magic coat. You could detach the arms! And what's more, once you had unzipped the arms you could put one arm into the other and carry it over your shoulder on a strap! It was then a really bad sleeveless thing. I think Michael J Fox had one in one of his films. I wish I still had it, but I suppose refering to it as magic only brings me kudos if I am on a primary school playground, and telling children that you have a magic coat when you're my age is frowned upon! In my CD player at the moment: Elliot Smith - XO Nick Drake - Five Leaves Left Delakota - One Love (I've got a three disc player, Yay!) "So you think I'm fruity! Nyahah!"

I demand to find a Slits record, a DQE record, and a Headcoatees record, or I will die. and some naughty Mad Libs, and how!!! they gave themselves up to the allure of bustiers and crotchless panties..... lesley Jo +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
