hi! well i've now been on the list for about 6 weeks. someone gave me a tape of tigermilk after our gig at margate in september with the list address. i have been listening to the tape continually - it's almost worn out. before i got the tape i had heard lots about B&S but never listened to them. i now have all three albums and i expect that they will be played on the tour bus on our christmas tour. bye nicky wire when power narrows the areas of mans concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence, when power corrupts, poetry cleans John F.

Sinister: New Records
by Keith Watson 09 Nov '98

09 Nov '98

Indeed, why not talk about new records, since they're great, at least, the good ones are. So this weekend I bought the Mercury Rev record which, as WHOever it was said, is great, I'd agree with that certainly, I was never hugely keen on Mercury Rev before, I mean, I liked the records, but I suppose they were in the "more interesting than actually good" category. I bought the Gene Clark compilation that came out a couple of weeks ago, and it's brilliant too, although I haven't made it as far as CD2 yet, but I'll bet it rules too. Another fine recommendation that came out today, is the single of "All I Need" by Air, which features two remixes of Kelly Watch the Stars, which are both brilliant, in particular, the first on, by Moog Cookbook, which has to count as one of the best remixes of the decade. It's ace when people can actually do something different to a track that changes it, and yet actually retains elements of the original, people have taken to taking the piss for numerous years now as remixes are concerned. Cheers, Keith.

Sinister: Freedom for Tooting!
by Mctaggart, Robert 09 Nov '98

09 Nov '98

Comrades, I trust everyone had a nice weekend. I did thank you for asking I bought Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin's LP which has just been reissued and it's got "Le chanson de slogan" on it and that's a very good song. And a Dusty Springfield LP too, although me and Wumpkinny have had our first disagreement cos she says the first song on it is something and I say its something else. I didn't want to sleep on the sofa though, so I let her win. Forgive me, for I have sinned. Che Miller wrote, >Fortunately I know that Robert is merely pushing back the boundaries >of top comedy, and I had to do some judicious editing to make him >look like a psycho. I feel bad now. In fact, I know sweet Fanny Adams about the Baader Meinhofs, except they were German and tortured rich people, and had hunger strikes. All in the name of revolution. It was a flippant comment, intended to make me look hard after Warrender made me look like a big scaredy-cat. Of course, now that the Dandy has been outed as the sort of person who sends out children's birthday invitations to complete strangers in Spain, I needn't have bothered. You should come to John's party though, Peter, there'll be ice-cream and jelly and lemonade and musical statues and pass the parcel, and he'll tell you all about his toilet-trading adventures with Julian in Stockport. Up the revolution.

Sinister: Bathers
by Michael 09 Nov '98

09 Nov '98

A couple of people asked about the Bathers. I'm sure they've been discussed in details in past (CTA), but here's a wee snippet of a conversation I had with Kevan a while back (the question was Kevan, the bollocks is mine). >Can you run me through your guide to the essential >tracks on Kelvingrove Baby again? To be honest, I haven't really listened to it since I bought Sinister. I gave it a whirl last night whilst reading Breakfast At Tiffanys and its still a top album. Essential guide - Girlfriend, No Risk No Glory, Kelvingrove Baby,Once Upon A Time..., and Twelve all stick in my mind, but it really is an Album kind of album. You know, stick the thing on and listen to it as a whole. A couple of years ago lyrics of some of his songs were posted on the underground (the Glasgow one) as poetry, and they are pretty spectacular. More earnest than B&S, much more grown up. Whereas B&S makes me feel about 19, on the verge of life with it all before me, KB is more 28, in a nice flat with a certain amount of sucess and satisfaction in life, looking back as well as forward. It really is an album worth making an effort for. I have been told that there is a better Bathers album, and although I've got Sunpowder I haven't listened to it much. It would have to be pretty damn good to beat Kelvingrove Baby. Lurve Grooves: I think we covered this comprehensively, but what about some advice on getting the lady (or boy) back to your boudoir in the first place? I'm talking Belle & Sebastion seduction techniques - from the first eye-contact to that yawn-slide-grope hand manoeuvre.

Sinister: This is my claim
by Warrander John - FML 09 Nov '98

09 Nov '98

Hello Everybody, Apparently all you have to do is mention "The Jasmine Minks", "The Claim" and "Dexy's Midnight Runners" in one post and you too can call yourself "Duke". Oh well, here goes... The Jasmine Minks - They're from the Granite City. That's Aberdeen in the North of Scotland to those not in the know. So am I. The Claim - I went to Dunedin to pay homage to Flying Nun Records. I did too. How fucking "indie" is that? Dexy's Midnight Runners - Er, shit. Can't think of a single thing. And there I was thinking how easy it must be to be a Duke. Well it isn't. So just remember kids. This is not a game.

Sinister: The Boy Done Wrong Again
by Bill Moss 09 Nov '98

09 Nov '98

Reid said: >Is that Stevie singing >the line "The boy done wrong again"? I noticed that too (before or after you I can't say)- it must be someone other than Stuart. Could be Stevie, Stuart D., etc. Oh well, no help to you. Listen to Looper's Spaceboy Dream #3 at http://www.treehouse.clara.net/looper.htm - the intro might be better than TBWTAS version. Keith said: >oh and i have the bathers 'kelvingroovebaby' and i >love it, liz fraser appears on it:) What are the bathers like, who's Liz and are they also from Glasgow? I have a cassette from Felt called The Pictorial Jackson Review. I've had it for three years - there are two songs on it that are really wonderful and show clearly their influence on Stuart - they are 'Ivory Past' and 'Apple Boutique.' I recommend getting this record. Could anyone recommend another Felt record? They tend to be pretty expensive here in the States. Elisapet is looking lovely on the people & mini-people pages!!

Sinister: fox in the...parking lot
by Christa Chaffinch 09 Nov '98

09 Nov '98

Mmmmm, its a grey and dreary day in suburban Maryland, my friends. As I pulled into the parking lot at work this morning I noticed two of my friendly coworkers standing and pointing into some trees. I went over to look and..! ohmygoodness! It was a real- life fox! It was much bigger than I had pictured them in my head, and rather tall....almost as large as a mid-sized beagle. Well, I pointed (even though everyone was already looking in that direction) and yelled out "fox in the snow!!" Needless to say, they just gave me weird looks because...umm... there was no snow on the ground obviously. Their puzzled looks couldn't deter my happiness, though. This is barely B*S content, but I really wanted to share my uplifting morning with you all, because, well... if anyone would understand and not give me weird looks, it would be you, dear readers. I wish fine fox-filled mornings for everyone. too shy for smut or shameless self-promotion, christa +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
