Not only was I repulsed at their boring, redundant, live set.....but the after show....that woman stripping down and rollerskating all over the place....It's a good thing I didn't eat first. Hey, i'm all about a nice rack on skates..but yiiiish......I guess it's just the whole "wooohooo look at me!" gesture of it all....It's just so much more pleasnt to see a whole heap of wee Scots on stage being humble and making music that floors a person without having to be all on the pose and showy. Is showy a word? Anyway....you get the picture. The lead singer of the Dandy's thinks he's Simon LeBon anyway....Someone should tell them Duran Duran was dropped so they're free to take over.

Sinister: Re: Elliott Smith

The pyromaniac asked: > p.s. - does anyone happen to know if elliot smith is for sure playing > on the grammys? you hear rumors but you can never know for sure. > I'm quite sure Elliott Smith is playing at the Oscars - there were a few things mentioned in Allstar about it last week. I also read something along the lines that it would be really sad if they have a dance act to go along with his performance like they usually do for the other artists and I have to agree - I don't think I could watch that after seeing him play a tiny venue last year before all the Good Will Hunting hype. There's a few Elliott Smith websites as well as a mailing list and I'm sure they have all the infomation there.

Sinister: Elliott Smith/TigerMilk
by Nrbqlover＠aol.com 26 Feb '98

26 Feb '98

In a message dated 98-02-26 11:13:44 EST, Natalie sez: << I'm quite sure Elliott Smith is playing at the Oscars - there were a few things mentioned in Allstar about it last week. >> Billboard had an interview w/Elliott last week. He says that he is singing his song at the Oscars after Celine Dion and before Michael Bolton! How frightening is that? I will renew my vow to all American Sinister Ministers who need a copy of TigerMilk to e-mail me off-list. I have now given everyone on the Guided by Voices and Jonathan Richman lists copies of said album. The best thing about this is nearly everyone plans to buy the cd reissue when and if it comes. clem lane nrbqlover(a)aol.com n.p. bluetones-solomon bites the worm ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Funkasize You
by PJMiller 26 Feb '98

26 Feb '98

I would like to publicly apologise to Andreas Perfection as a Hipster for answering a message that wasn't intended for the list. Yes, words have been exchanged. I think Rod and I both know what our punishment is. Which way to the Radiohead chat room? In the desperate race to accrue B&S Big Chief I-Spy points I think I am probably way out in front. But I need more. To this end, I would like to compare myself to an obese comedian, one of my favourites. Sadly, I can't remember his name. He was a warm up man for Alexei Sayle, in fact he looked a bit like Alexei Sayle having undergone a Tarbuckisation operation. He slept in his Jag and was very sad. Can anyone help me with the name? Bobby Crush or something. Whatever his name was he was top comedy. I would like to remind my fellow listees that some of us, myself included, were recently awarded diplomatic immunity to talk shite. Despite this great honour, I still try to keep it to an only slightly unreasonable level. For instance, I resisted the temptation to go on and on and on about how much I love Sid James, and even the street he lives on in "Carry On At Your Convenience", you remember, next door to what's her name. "Phwooar, what a waste!" says Sid in very visible frustration. Robert De Niro pales in comparison. I once contemplated joining the Sid James and Kenneth Williams Appreciation Society, but in the end I didn't in case it adversely affected my social life. The Eighties: I'm sure there was lots of great music in the eighties, and Keith is right. Until fairly recently the seventies were considered the absolute pits, just because hair gel had taken over from big bushy sideburns. Despite my love for Led Zep, I think my favourite seventies music is all the funk/soul/call it what you will that came out of the new black awareness/call it what you will, such as the Stax stuff and Marvin Gaye's political work. There's something irresistible about the combination of radical politics and huge afros. The point is, I suspect that the best music of the eighties ws hip hop. I don't know much about it, but when the reissue scene gets its act together, I'll be there, fifty years old walking around without any laces in my "sneakers". To help prepare myself, can anyone remind me of the name of a girl rapper who swore a lot. I'm sure the character Angela, played by Rosie Perez, in "Night on Earth" was based on her. It was Roxanne something or other, but not Roxanne Shante, who was equally adorable. It was on John Peel a lot. Making any sense? Perhaps I dreamt it. Also, Stock, Aitken and Waterman churned out some great records. Who could forget the female version of Honey? Well, me actually. I've forgotten her name...Samantha?...Siobahn?.....come to think of it, I've forgotten the song too. So scrub that one. If I remember correctly, "Bright Eyes" was number one at Easter time. I listened to David "Diddy" Hamilton doing a run down of all the Easter number ones since time began. The only other one I can recall was "Congratulations" by Cliff Richard. I was quite a keen Cliff fan in my formative years. This evening I hope to present at the B&S bunfight, even B&S aren't there. That's if I can work out what 6pm GMT is in CET. Hope to see you all there... Peter ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

PJ Miller's favourite comedian is, I believe, called Bobby Chariot - "Top warm up man to the stars" and his godlike catchphrase was "HOW YA DIDDLIN'? (Followed by bemused silence) Bloody sod ya then" This somehow seems a lot less funny in print. Oh well.

Sinister: Top of the Pops
by Ruth McCurry 26 Feb '98

26 Feb '98

Like Keith, I'm looking forward to Cornershop appearing on TOTP. As long as that adorable Jayne Muddlemuss is presenting it... Is there an official line on B and S and TOTP? I mean, would the band appear on the show if they ever, for some reason, got round to releasing a new EP and it scraped the Top 20? Or do they have too many principles? Couldn't they do a New Order and insist on playing live? Lots of Love, DAVID ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
