I think whoever said this is terribly horribly depressingly wrong. haven't you ever been to the Rivecenter, a mere few miles from our beloved Trinity on a Friday night? Them high school gals and boys, they have a thing or two to show the world about fashion inadequacy. all that said. you ever notice that "fashion police" and "fascist police" sound awfully god-damned similar? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Re: Sinister: obsessiveness: geeky or cool?
by minigo 25 Mar '98

Hello hello, New here, feeling a little cautious about posting--(opening night nerves!! someone give me a shot of voddie and a slap on the back, would you?) So be kind, that's all I ask. :) > I went on to the chat site last night and was having the usual >music-y conversation when it was mentioned that perhaps people (such as >those on list this list) who are really into music have no life. Is this >true? Do "normal" people see such activities as being obsessive about a >particular band or genre as sad? Or does the obsession hold a mystique >that makes these people seem more interesting than they really are?(Are >people into to music simply for this very reason?) Spod, I didn't think you were serious about posting that! It 'twas me that said that, but it was partially in jest. A reference to the (ok) book "High Fidelity" by Nick Hornby. Over-rated by now but still hits home with anyone who's a music junkie. The meaning behind mixed tapes for your crushes, spending hours re-arranging your record collections, refusing to be friends with people who like Simple Minds... And I quote the passage that struck me the most (forgive me if this book's been discussed before, it's brief je promets!) : "The unhappiest people I know, romantically speaking, are the ones who like pop music the most; and I don't know whether pop music has created this unhappiness, but I do know that they've been listening to the sad songs longer than they've been leading the unhappy lives." At any rate, I know I turn into a little hobbit when I'm in my "only B & S will do" moods. It's music that naturally makes me somewhat reclusive, which isn't a bad thing, but I do tend to hole up a bit and forget about being social. (NB: Then again, "lazy line-painter jane" is INCREDIBLE to dance to when you're out.) What I *really* need to do is attend one of these Sinister Picnics I'm hearing about, and then I'll have a healthy balance. ;) As for other people I know, the most music-obsessed of them happily admit to having little to no life, as far as the "average" life goes. Work is simply a way to get pay cheques to pay for records and new fab speakers and the best record needle on the market. They emerge only for the gigs they simply can't miss. I would say being an ultimate music junkie is akin to being a computer programmer. The characters from 'Microserfs', for example, are pretty much the same as the ones in High Fidelity, only with Pentiums as opposed to owning a mint Stax '45 collection. Some people might think that pathetic, but at the end of the day, if you're happy, it matters not what anyone says. > It's like paying £££'s for TM when it isn't really worth that much >(certainly not to me anyway). Is the price so high because of the >coolness factor that is associated with the records rather than the >songs themselves? Like anything, it can split off into different camps. My friend has paid ooodles of money to get his Lee Hazlewood Swedish-issue records, but he paid it only because he HAD to have them. It's a compulsion, to complete the puzzle and sit there looking at them with a glow of pride. Then you've got the types another friend has complained to me about, people collecting Northern Soul, paying exhorbitant prices for '45's only to NEVER play them. Dishing out major attitude about what they own to score cred/social points. Stuff like that turns my stomach. Another thought: do people fill their lives with music when there's something missing in their lives, especially love? I'm sure I do, a bit. elisa xx p.s. I've been enjoying the IRC chat quite a lot-- flabbergasted to meet people who know people I know, etc. Small world, indeed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: a good read
by Schaffenberger 25 Mar '98

25 Mar '98

Oooh, I've just started reading Rick Moody's THE ICE STORM. I started flipping through the pages on the walk back from the library, and found myself so engrossed, I was hit by a car. I write from a full body cast, several hours later. The good news is that the book wasn't terribly soiled by my blood or tire tracks, so I'm off to read more. Someone said to me today that if there is a bright star of fashion in this universe or on this planet (maybe Tokyo?), then Trinity University is the furthest point from that star. So far this week, I have seen FIVE knee length denim skirts, a staple in my fifth grade wardrobe. The good news is that none of these garmets were acid washed. The bad news is that even our local Gap has been displaying these skirts (and, mind you, I do live in a big city). This phenomenon leaves me cold and frightened. A friend mentioned once that his personal (and only) rule of fashion is no denim above the waist. I wish to further extend this rule to no denim that starts above the knees. I propose a worldwide ban on denim skirts and shorts (especially the really short, creepy variety that Texan girls are fond of), and where better to begin than on the Belle and Sebastian list. Sorry if I've offended any acid-washed miniskirt and jacket wearers, but this is an issue I feel strongly about and can no longer ignore. Jon Parker- Thanks for the "Century" booklet; it's beautiful. I also really enjoyed Paradiso, which I read between classes. Emily Pickles- Gordon sends his love and the Juice Tiger is working well. -Kristen ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: gee whiz

I never realized that the members of the Catatonia list were the all-knowing gurus of mailing-list etiquette. >Roll on Conservatives. Probably needn't bother now looking at >Labour. Still, people should realise that both traffic jams and >hierarchy are essential to a thriving economy. ok now here's where I must say that if you're going to voice strong opinions on a subject - politics, music or whatever - you should be prepared to stand up to the rebuttals that they are sure to envoke. on the other hand, there have been a few unwarranted outlashings on the list, particularly on the eager new enthusiasts..... yeah, it may be annoying to read yet another Tigermilk request, but hey, we were all there once (cept for those fortunate few who have their own vinyl copies). and thanks everyone who's contributed to book recommendations. I now have a list of books a mile long to look out for on future trips to librarys and bookstores. I'd recommend something too if I could, but I haven't read that much lately apart from scientific journals and textbooks - BORING! I'm just happy now cause Eddie Izzard is doing a 8-week stint in NYC! yeahhhhh!!!! izzog man rules! Crazy Cell-Counter Kim ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
