Wouldn't you just know that now, as I'm trying to check this out, the BBC's webshite is pinging a 50% packet loss. (For non-geeks, this means my connection to it is shafted) Doesn't Dave Green have something to do with the Digital Update? Presumably he passed on my site after featuring it in the latest issue of Need To Know (http://www.ntk.net -- if you're a geek, and British, this is the e-zine for you!)

I only ever hear his show at the end of term (when I'm up to 5am working on coursework, like I am at the moment), but he does tread the thin line between being an irritating unfunny DJ like Steve Wright, and completely anarchic comedy genius. > anyway yeah sorry rambling. mark radcliffe's show introduced me to about 80% > of my record collection. new stuff, obscure stuff, old stuff - i mean i hated > a lot of the stuff he played and he hated a lot of teh stuff i played To me, the old Graveyard Shift was a more accessible version of John Peel. You got to *hear* the bands that the NME/Melody Maker were going on about, usually before the papers had started going on about them! But the addition was the him'n'Lard were so laugh out loud funny, especially when they were causing Mark Kermode to get completely exasperated. The "Competition Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime" jingle was a classic of our time. Their show didn't really work as well in the morning, though, cause they didn't have someone to bounce off quite so often.

Sinister: skeletons, not menswear in the cupboard, radical politics
by tuffen＠opgc.univ-bpclermont.fr 18 Mar '98

what happened to the band 'the walkingseeds?' they used to sound brilliant about nine years ago, then again at the time i was obsessed with The Cult, trying to be a goth in a small town which meant i became a fast runner and a good tree climber to escape the boy racers and 'casuals' who'd chase us through the park on friday night Wow so there's such strong anti-car pro-public transport policies in the Trudget my arse. What a watered down load of tosh. And everyone knows that electric cars (better than the kitsch C5!) work dead well, going slowly in them would encourage love of nature and respect of the environment cos you could hear the sheep mooing and the grasshoppers yawning as you glided past, your shiny little beetle-like contraption sounding like an electric turkey in the morning air. but the oil companies and car manufacturers have this stranglehold, everything's so short-term and profit orientated EVERYTHING'S SO SHORT TERM AND PROFIT ORIENTATED a note of explanation:- i have heard an electric turkey so there. It could walk across the room. Prolapse are brilliant. Isaw them in exeter, the singers staring into a pint and at the floor all night, with the rest of the band with their backs to us making a fucking racket. And the great lost band 'tarrot marrow', scotland's finest of the early nineties. once they got to support swervedriver at king tut's so they were pretty massive. NOW-OBLIGATORY BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS 'the trial' by franz kafka (specially if you're into politics and THE SYSTEM) 'one hundred years of solitude' by garcia-marquezbut you've probably already read it 'bad wisdom' by bill drummond and mark manning (so funny, perverted as fuck) 'immortality' by milan kundera 'heaven and hell'/'the doors of perception' by aldous huxley (brought on vivid flashbacks) 'under the volcano' by malcom lowry (alcoholic nightmares in mexico) 'the story of the eye' by georges bataille (now, how twisted can a mind get?) 'the man without qualities' by robert musil (takes a year to read, worth it) any washing machine/hairdryer manual hugh ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Dear anyone: Should I get And She Closed Her Eyes by Stina Nordenstam? I listened to Little Star last night and realised again how much I love that song. Oh what a dilemma... ByeBye, Liz.

Sinister: Are they still alive?
by Pierre.Coat＠cable.alcatel.com 18 Mar '98

18 Mar '98

Hi all! got a question. Does anybody know if The High, The La's, East River Pipe, Another Sunny Day or Brian still exist? I use to love these bands so much and there CDs are waiting for little brothers now... I know, it's such a long time ago... but I'm still waiting for them, like I'm still waiting for a new My Bloody Valentine release. Yeap, hope makes me live. By the way, there's no shame to listen to Menswe@r, Gene or Shed Seven. I mean, they are not my favorite bands, but it's OK to listen to them from time to time. Just think about people who listen to Celine Dion... And to add some book references to the list: Bret Easton Ellis: "American Psycho" Malcolm Lowry: "Under the Volcano", "Lunar Caustic" James Joyce: "Ulysse" Michel Tournier: "Les Meteores" (don't know if it's available in English) Franz Kafka: everything Time to go now!

Re: Sinister: Ooooh, the shame...
by Andrewnic 18 Mar '98

I remember going to a club at the Music Box (or whatever it may have been called at the time) in Edinburgh once-upon-a-time, and Menswear were there. They had been at the Venue I think. Anyway, knowing my wee sister had been to see them (and was a huge fan at the time) I 'phoned her to let her know. She was well chuffed, but didn't want to come out 'cause she wouldn't know what to say, so she asked me to get something signed. It was unbelievably embarrassing. Got me t-shirt signed by them all. I was completely twatted at the time (honest). I seem to remember going up to everyone (Keith included, I think), pointing at my chest and grinning. I WAS JUST CHUFFED AT GETTING THE GOODS FOR MY WEE SISTER, OKAY?!?!? Just to clear that up. I'm off to die of shame now.

Sinister: All Things Bright and Beautiful
by JOSEPH FOSTER 18 Mar '98

18 Mar '98

Yatingee! One and all. "BOOKS" ---Anything by Tom Robinson, he is a genius. ---The two Dice Man books, by Luke Rhinehart, bibles. ---The Titus Groan trilogy, by Mervin Peake. "Country" In return for flooding country orientated stuff to the list, I will seek to flood countrymusic lists with all things B&S. That seems balanced. Thankyou all for reccomendations, my Student loan just came through so come Thursday and I'll start buying up your kindhearted suggestions. Keep all mustbuystufflists coming! Ta.v.much. "Downer" I still don't know if I passed anything. Every week I see my maths tutor to remind him about sorting me out with a grade. Every week he says fuck, fuck, fuck, mumble mumble stupid dickheads. THis man is in his late 50's. Where did he learn sutch filth? Hopefully I'll have a grade soon. "B&S" -------------------well it's only fair------------------- I'd just like to say thankyou to the band, since I bought the LP I've played it every day for weeks and weeks. I've not looked back yet. "Miscalaneious" Has anyone heard snakebitelove by Moterhead? It's almost Spinal Tap. No wait, it IS. Is it me, or is early Spring the best time for LoFi? Eegnitay! I'm as happy as a watermelon in easter hay, Joe. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
