Sinister: rock and roll is here to stay, it will never go away
by Martin Horsfield 13 Dec '98

13 Dec '98

Hiya kids, I was so busy last week that I've had to bin a week's worth of digests, but I'm back now, bringing some semblance of organisation to my 'interupt mode' existence. Good to see that Evan's still banging on about Giant Sand and OP8. I played their version of 'Round And Round' last night after a typically frazzled, semi-mythical night in the life of our band, Matinee. It started with Nick turning up with a pizza and a great new song 'Safari', dedicated to his girlfriend, Sara. Next to show was Michael, with a suitcase of recording gear and the fantastic new Grand Drive single ('Wrong Notes'). We set up and took all day to demo up three songs, before our old mate John came round and we decided to pop up to the Garage to meet up with his brother Mick.... Now I've never liked the Pastels, but as we sat setting the world to rights with Mick's pal, Damo out of Randy (!), whose brother Kieron I subsequently knew from way back, it became clear that something was afoot in the Minibar. Tjinder out of Cornershop was there, as were assorted ex-BMX Bandits and lo-fi luminaries (last week down at ULU, it was the same - Michael actually talked to that young Elliott Smith!). Mike and Damo hit the Garage, John went home (domestic scenes) while me and Michael finished our pints. As we made for the door, who should we see grinning characteristically but Gerry Love. Only then did it sink in that the Pastels had been playing... After five minutes catching up with Gerry and passing on Matinee's details for him or Johnnie Smillie to come down and stay for the weekend, we finally repaired to the indie disco at the Garage. Mick was utterly wankered and got involved in a moshpit calamity (which he attributes to Steve Lamacq!), while Michael was showing signs oof fatigue (no wonder after lugging those suitcases up to my place). Me and Damo talked relentlessly about Brian Wilson and Neil Young (interputed only by Mick coming over and bellowing to everyone "I FUCKIN' HATE T-REX I DO"). By the time we were ready to crash at mine, Mick and Michael were sleeping like babies in the Garage, which would have made a very ironic photograph. Of course, tea, toast and acoustic guitars came into play back at Matinee mansions (though Damo only got his wish - to hear Wild Honey and Sail On Sailor - around 5am. It was Grand Drive and minidiscs of Pink Floyd up to then). We then got up early next morning and demoed up another song, 'Thoroughly Modern' (one of mine!), to which the ebullient but still addled Welshman added off-kilter harmonies. Finally, after more Stephen Duffy and Grand Drive, we called it a day and slipped out to the White Bear for a drink and a ponder. I dpn't know if there any conclusion to be drawn from all this except that I fucking love rock and roll and that hopefully Matinee and Randy will continue the great work laid before them by Belle and Sebastian and Gorky's Zygotic Mynci repectively. Yours, Martin Horsfield, overcome by hapiness PS/Stevie Trousers, did you like the tape I sent you? +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: They say that WeeJay is back ("I never knew that he'd been gone")
by Errington/Woodman 13 Dec '98

13 Dec '98

Yes, it's me. Ignore the header - I could change it, and I will, but I've started to write this now so it's *too late* No idea what you've all been talking about (no digests have arrived yet) but I have a couple of things to say anyway. Firstly, Content! Oh yes, I'm making a B&S tape for my (13 year old) sister and she's selecting her favorite tracks for me to put on. So far she's been very keen on 'The State I Am In,' 'We Rule The School' and 'Seeing Other People'. Yes, I was surprised too. I've left '3...6...9' at college though, so that isn't good at all. What else...? Oh yes, the story thing - I'm thinking of putting forward the start date to wednesday or something, so if you're interested I'd get in quick... And if you have written to me and I haven't replied then either (a) you dd it today and I haven't read it yet or (b) you sent it to my college address. if (b) then send it here and doh! Anyway, anyway, WeeJay xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Pat Errington, pat(a)twopounds.u-net.com Lance Woodman, lance(a)twopounds.u-net.com James Errington, james(a)twopounds.u-net.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Rabbit and cheesemeal ©1998
by Chris Jones 13 Dec '98

13 Dec '98

chris.jones(a)saqnet.co.uk http://www.saqnet.co.uk/users/saxtead/chris.htm http://www.saqnet.co.uk/users/saxtead/tiger/ I have noticed recently that some people are trying to sell counterfeit cheesemeal imported from Andorra. This is not on, and if it is you, please stop it. There is no excuse for this sort of behaviour. Some people have even been trying to undercut official cheesemeal vendors by offering a free rabbit with each purchase. This pathetic attempt to raise the position of rabbit in the 'rabbit vs. clotted cream' debate will not be tolerated.

Re: Sinister: Nah, he's been in the school orchestra for over a year
by Chris Jones 13 Dec '98

chris.jones(a)saqnet.co.uk http://www.saqnet.co.uk/users/saxtead/chris.htm http://www.saqnet.co.uk/users/saxtead/tiger/ Rabbits and clotted cream certainly are not funny. It's a serious issue that I felt needed raising. By writing this you are simply reducing it to meaningless drivel. Chris Jones. ---------- From: Robert McTaggart <mctag(a)bigfoot.com> To: sinister(a)majordomo.net Subject: Sinister: Nah, he's been in the school orchestra for over a year Date: Saturday, December 12, 1998 10:05 PM Sinisterines, Some wry observations from the past few days: Rabbits and clotted cream, what's that all about then? Was it supposed to be funny? It wasn't. It was a waste of my time. Still, there's a lot of it about. WeeJay, has it occured to you that the reason that Keith and I always have the same opinions is because we're both right? More American bashing? I'm not getting involved. It was crap last time and it's crap this time. In case you haven't noticed, I'm crabby and I'm tired. We had to wait two hours for a cab in Manchester city centre last night, every single fucking office party in the North West was finishing just as we reached the front of the queue. On a brighter note, we had, however, been to see the Pastels, which softened the blow somewhat. I do dearly love the Pastels. I love the fact that they can create something utterly poignant while sounding on the verge of musically falling apart. I like their Silver Jews cover. I like Stephen's crap dancing. They've got a new instrumental song with flutes and fluttering guitars and it's quite the most beautiful thing. Also Goldmine, Manchester's legendaty soul shop has re-opened in smart new premises. It's called Beatin' Rhythm and it's full of great records. Today, I topped up my collection of Dead Boyfriend ballads. I would list every record I'd bought, but that would be boring, wouldn't it? Wouldn't it? Seeing the Pastels got me thinking about school orchestras. I wish I'd joined one now, but I can play one finger piano and that's about it. I couldn't even play the recorder, like the spoilt kids who got off freezing their goolies off on a football pitch during double games did. But where would we be without them? The combination of a teenage love of the Velvet Underground and a talent in the string section seems to have come up trumps a few times. Keith's conspiracy theory about the Melody Maker piece and the "mole" amongst us was interesting considering the article was written by one Ian WATSON. No relation, I suppose? I liked your post about Leith, Keith. Is that near Cowdenbeath, Keith? Don't forget to brush your teeth, Keith. These and other poems are to be found in my new book, "Juvenile and Foppish", which I'll be promoting at Paramount Book Exchange in the near future. Dandy Don John got me that, he's become very pally with the guy who works there since he started satisfying his appetite "specialist" vintage Danish magazines that they sell there. Beth, you'll be sadly missed, but I think I understand.

Sinister: B&S Where ? & Why ? How?
by Ian MacDonald 13 Dec '98

13 Dec '98

Having thrust myself upon the list in a blaze of racial controversy , can I ask the list the more pertinent/interesting question are B&S a product(anti?) of their environment? Why and how do they relate to me/you? Is Glasgow/Scotland the catalyst(anti?) Could B&S come from, Hiroshima? Nebraska? Prague? Linlithgow? Alaska ? etc. ? etc.? Or is it just due to pure animal lust on your part? If you answered YES to the last question, you are a sad bastard and deserve the punishment of at least 10 years sex with the B&S beast of your fanciful desire. Personally, my infatuation of B&S came from what I perceive to be their Love/Kaleidoscope (UK) sound and the associated memories/feelings that brought back. .The Scottishness was an unexpected bonus. Their reticence is disappointing. Topically, I did once have a dream of being on the legendary Aberdeen number 6 Torry-Foresterhill "beaver" bus that the members of B&S caught one sunny Sunday dream inspired morning. In this bus driven coma, I was unable to breathe under the combined weight of B&S arse. Isobels bum may look like it would have the weight and texture of angel delight ( with a slight hint of digestive crunch) but in the dream dimesion has the weight of your granny's finest(?) fairy cakes in the pre-War Cookeen days and all the alluring aroma of one too many fried Stonhaven turnips. The rest of the band were too far too shy to pass wind in my dream. Well that was my dream and this is my fantasy: A release of a post devolution a joint Y2K/CD ROM release of a Edinburgh 2000 party album icluding covers of Black Laces"Och ya Doo", Frank McAvennies, " The Birdy Song", the Queens Mum's cover of " I want to Live Forever"(reprise), Bruce Forsyths "The Bonny Bonny Golf Courses of Loch Lomond", the Popes hearfelt version of "Glory,Glory we will follow Rangers" and climaxing in a cover "Ace of Spades" recorded toally throuh the twisting of the handlebars of the 3 speed grifter. Can I add that if in future if anybody on the list takes offence with anything posted can they respond privately to the twat that started it rather than bore all with the repercussions that few give two monkeys about? +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: XXX Scandinavian Massive Facial Cumshotz #2
by Corpora Arenacea 12 Dec '98

12 Dec '98

Hey...! I just checked the listcrush page and I actually =lost= the three votes I'd had before.... retracted... snatched away! I'm not even gonna ask "What did I say?" I'm just gonna say it. But yeah, first maaadd brizznolic props to Ms. P-Bot, well, first for begging on my behalf (prolly more eloquently than I ever could) but more importantly for showing me that even the most twee lippgloss-streaked soul can recognize the greatness of Burzum and Kyuss.... booyacka! It was the first time in my friggin' life that I didn't have =enough= Black Metal..... you never want the dirty dream to end, do you? Freakishly large record collection or not. I'll show you freakishly large..... dammit! I'm tired of English people assuming I'm a retard 'cause I happen to share an accent with Brenda from 90210 (not wrongly, just the wrong reason to think I'm retarded). I'm sick of American listees trying (admirably, I'd think) and vainly to copy the slang of their marooned counterparts. Dagnabbit pilgrims be proud of yer twaaaayangs. We gave the world Big Star, and David Bowie gave the world the rooster mullet. Stand tall. With that said Ian's just further terrified me for my upcoming trip to GB. I'm even more scared of attempting to attend the Glasgow meetup. I don't think I'll even understand a word anyone's saying, I remember I had to call Scotland once to order a kilt for my brother's birthday, it was like bartering for llamas with a Tibetan. That's it. I'm just gonna ride a double-decker bus for two weeks. Straight. O.K. here was my theory for the "director's cut" Dirty Dream video. It's got that beat, right, like a Temptations song, or "Dancing in the Streets"? So yeah, we can still have the self-effacing videos of cardie-swaddled American wannabees and slo-mo of Truffaut's tomb and whatever, right, but on every "tink" of that "tink tink tink tink" beat we have an ejaculation, like, a different one every time, so the whole three-minute video is like, spurt! spurt! spurt! spurt! Well, maybe it's dumb, but it's =mine=. And it's real, real dirty. I mean, of all the Belle and Sebastian songs that I think of that have that rhythm, you know, in, out, in, out, in, up, out, down, this is the one for doing the nasty. Dammit. Typing with one hand is slow! -Eran ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
