Sinister: bathing in a sea of lemon jello

the gate is alright enough. count me in as an isobel defender.. stevie thomas jackson, however, is an entirely diffferent matter altogether. why do they let the man sing, or worse yet, write songs? i like seymour stein, especially the smiths references, but the first song on the new ep should be called "this is just a good song except for the bit when stevie sings"; and i agree with whoever said that chickfactor is simply appalling: trite lyrics, poor arrangement, lack of discernible structure or melody or... i could go on call this the great stevie jackson debate of late 1998 ] and sometimes i too feel more fulfilled when making christmas cards with the mentally ill +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: video shoot
by jennifer 16 Dec '98

16 Dec '98

after surviving 2 finals, i actually have time to write about my trip to athens to be in the video... the whole trip was so grand! i met jonathan about 24 hours before i decided to go with him, lucky for me he turned out to be a really awesome guy! the drive down (from indiana) was a bit long, due to some unforeseen erm changes in direction... (sorry jonathan!) the weather was sort of overcast but we filmed for a few hours on saturday, lance and dan are the greatest guys on earth! we all had a lot of fun, despite it turning cold and almost getting caught on the train tracks at the wrong time. hello to jonny and billy and everyone else! jonathan was filmed making a sand angel and is still finding sand in his ears and other places. my stunt didn't go so well, i tried my best but the balloon wouldn't blow up! so i was filmed looking directly into the camera, hopefully i wasn't scowling inadvertently. we went along for the filming on sunday as well, where jonathan got cut on barbed wire. i think he was the stunt man for the weekend! once again my part didn't work, i think fate was against me. we met jesse and shannon who were amazingly nice, they did a really lovely car wash scene that i'm sure will look great. and we didn't want to leave! athens is a great town, everyone was so kind and fun, it was one of the best weekends i've had in a really long time. so hello again to everyone we met and keep in touch! and a huge thank you to lance, who really is one of the nicest persons i've ever had the pleasure to meet. i can't wait to see how it turns out! jennifer +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Popscene Mayhem

Evenin' folks So I was gettin' my groove on at Popscene in San Francisco last week and out of nowhere two bands appear. Both the Cardigans and Placebo show up and me thinks to myself "interesting," for not too many bands come to Popscene just to dance. The Cardigans had the back of the club completely closed off for them, but they simply said "no." Apparently they just wanted to mingle amongst the mods, as well they did (tee-hee). But Placebo is a completely different tale. For simply no good reason at all one of the members started to rough up a very darling little bartender.

So i am beseeching all-ya-all to join me in my Placebo boycott, a veritable crusade against them, nevertheless. On another note... Catch-22 One of the most excellent books I have ever read.

Sinister: To all you Jews out there...
by bkim0＠dept.english.upenn.edu 15 Dec '98

15 Dec '98

...Happy Chanukkah.:) As an alumnus of U. Penn I became very aware of Jewish holidays, sometimes painfully so...my band played on-campus on what turned out to be Passover and needless to say nobody was there, just a few odd gentiles here and there. And that's when we fired our manager...well, anyway. I wasn't sure if it had been said yet on the list, but hope you all are getting some good loot.

Sinister: exam misery. and hi.
by Declan McGurk 15 Dec '98

15 Dec '98

hey everybody. after a few month absence i'm back. does anyone remember me? ah well here are the opinions you may have missed from me then: The Boy With... : a grower i suppose. not quite as charming as they usually are and i still question the existence of the appalling chickfactor. dirty dream #2 best song. Just Another... EP: mightily disappointing. will the band ever reach the heights of 3.. 6.. 9.. again? Fries Entertainment EP : not b and s by way. bloody hell. i bought this on the recommendation of Planet Sound. and its complete b*llocks. # pass the cyanide [pchuw]' cool . i'm doing me mock gcse's over the last week and a bit. they're well good. not exactly misery then. except last friday during me english language exam. i'd bought legend of zelda before i went into school and it was in my pocket the whole time. i just couldnae concentrate. me head were filled wit' images of Link running around, my mind was still in bed from the previous tuesday and my brain, who should've been thinking 'how can the young help the homeless?', was singing the stereophonics 'more life in a tramps vest'!! ok. intro over then. in fact whole thing over. but if anyone wants to discuss the genius of shane macgowan, please, erm, well, do. love you all later, Dec
