Sinister: Mavens of P.E.
by Hans Peter 19 Feb '98

19 Feb '98

It is odd that so many of us seem to have had a brush with a freaky P.E. man and that these P.E. men all have fitting names. Mine was a jowly giant named Ken Sapp. He was a towering figure with wide jaws and loose cheeks, adapted for overeating. Sapp would randomly gather the class in a circle, raise his hands, and proclaim "Let us go down on one knee," at which point he would fake a kneel himself and stand over us. As we knelt at his oversized Pumas, he would stroll before us, scratching his chin and nodding. Then, satisfied, he would say "Dismissed." Sapp's real quirk, though, was his insistence on having boys take showers. He went so far as to inspect our hair and towels for dampness. Once, he brought a stool into the shower because he was sure certain boys weren't showering. The boys, who were too embarrassd to shower in public, were were forced to shower in front of the giant as he squatted in the corner. Sapp was later fired for pummeling a poor boy who refused to shower. My apologies for straying from the subject at hand.

Sinister: I love this song (NBSC)
by aadam＠interaccess.com 19 Feb '98

19 Feb '98

Back in the '30's there were some beautiful pop songs. Here's one that I particularly like. I think you all might enjoy it lyricly (otherwise why would I post it?) -You go to my head- You go to my head, And you linger like a haunting refrain And I find you spinning round in my brain Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne. You go to my head Like a sip of sparkling burgundy brew And I find the very mention of you Like the kicker in a julep or two. The thrill of the thought That you might give a thought To my plea casts a spell over me Still I say to myself: get a hold of yourself Can't you see that it can never be? You go to my head With smile that makes my temperature rise Like a summer with a thousand Julys You intoxicate my soul with your eyes Tho I'm certain that this heart of mine Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance, You go to my head. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: You will never be famous
by PKHINTZ＠aol.com 19 Feb '98

19 Feb '98

It would not surprise me if the band have a little wager on to see how long it takes someone to write that "Stuart M." or "Belle and Sebastian", etc., are the most famous people in the world today. That would be their sense of humour, wouldn't it? Throw a Christian martyr to ravenous lions in an amphitheatre; throw an open question to ravenous fans on the internet. However, the most famous person in the world is yourself. Whom else do you spend most, if not all, of your living moments concerned with their every movement and thought?

by PKHINTZ＠aol.com 19 Feb '98

19 Feb '98

I have been feeling a tad jealous lately of the DC, London and Edinburgh Sinisterettes meeting up and having scads of fun. Some of them even play Scrabble! So, are any other New York City listees planning to go to the Autour de Lucie show? The band is French, the show is free--what better reasons do you need? Living and loving Matthew <<Anyone who will be in the vicinity of New York City next Tuesday is invited to the following: AUTOUR DE LUCIE will be performing a special acoustic performance on Tuesday, February 24th at Luna Lounge 171 Ludlow Street Admission is FREE the band will perform at 9PM and party afterwards. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: re: Starting Arguments
by andrew dean 19 Feb '98

19 Feb '98

ronan: >Secondly, in response to Andrew Dean, it made my day to read of rumours >of New Order reforming from a previous writer so some of us are >interested, he was asking whether the press agency could be believed. how the fuck would we know? and what relevance does new order have to the sinister list? go and ask such questions elsewhere, on a more general music list, or USENET or buy this week's music press. or listen to the radio. >Also, your snooty/snotty comment about the lad who wanted a >copy of Tigermilk is a bit unfair. The fact that it was released 18 >months ago doesn't mean that he had heard of B&S before last week. i was talking about his impatience, not his naivety. i was also a bit miffed at the fact that he posted a second request for a copy to the list when for the last two weeks i've been offering to match people up with other people willing to do them copies for the price of a blank tape and postage, hence the request that he should go and read the last two weeks of messages. shit, i offer to do this for people and they just ignore me and spam the list regardless... >I'm another person who hasn't heard Tigermilk and I'm sure >there's plenty of others out there too. well, now you know what to do... >Having said that, the stuff I've heard off >the TBS album does sound great and I've been searching the record shops >of Dublin trying to find it to no avail. maybe if you tried looking for it after the release date? 2nd march now, having just been put back. again. andy ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: re: white horses
by Richard Lander 19 Feb '98

19 Feb '98

>The lovely Andy Dean didn't know what he was starting when he wrote: > >>no, the song on the end of that tape is 'white horses' by Jacky (and i >>know, i put it there!). it was a hit in the late 60s and is a theme tune >>to a kids' tv show about, duh!, white horses that aired in the early 70s >>on bbc tv, saturday mornings before whatever 'live and kicking' was >>called in those days. > >Then the equally wonderful PJMiller added: > >As I recall, there wasn't anything like Live and Kicking on BBC until >Multi.Coloured Swap Shop opened its doors for business, it was just a >collection of kid's programmes such as Zorro, The Flashing Blade and >the Banana Splits (which was in itself a forerunner of the Swap Shop >format) with the odd cartoon (have you ever noticed that whenever you >put a group of people in a room together they always end up talking >about Northy?), followed by an Abbott and Costello film. There was a whole plethora of those dubbed black & white series which were run over and over again during Saturday mornings and long school holidays. Not just White Horses [did this series originate in France?] but also the original Belle & Sebastian and Robinson Crusoe and in colour there was The Flashing Blade. The BBC also used to continually showing Zorro, Whirlybirds, Champion the Wonder Horse and Casey Jones. Oh hell we seem to be plunging backwards in time through the history of TV!
