Sinister: No cheez pleez
by plaird 04 Mar '98

04 Mar '98

I hope this doesn't make me sound like a boring old shite (28 on Saturday), but are there any others of the 510(!) on the list who don't give a monkeys about dodgy '80s tune trivia quizzes? Is this quiz a plant on behalf of the music industry? Only they seem intent on marketing cheezy '80s compilations at present. Or is it that '80s tunes are the replacement to the now defunct Easy Listening revival of a couple years back. Some daft people are even attempting to run '80s clubs (a nightmare vision of Musical Youth mixed with Sonia and the like). oops! off on a tangent there!

I also think that pop is folk and vice versa. I'm slowly working my way through all the people that make appearances in the Dick Drake biography. Very slowly, in fact. There's a nice folk section in this month's Mojo Magazine. I haven't read it yet because I'm reading about Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon".

Sinister: B&S
by Chris 04 Mar '98

04 Mar '98

No, not really; low B&S content warning... Went to see Cornershop last night, during which they proved theselves to be an OK asian dance band and a very average pop band. Tjinder Singh didn't address one word to the audience throughout, not even Hello or Goodbye. And surely if Asha only charts when they speed it up a bit, then they should try and play it at a decent tempo.... However, the drummer and the bongo player went for it all night, and they did have a guy making peculiar electronic noises from the side of the stage. For you Cambridge sinisterettes, I stood next to the guy who walks around Sainsbury's with a carnation in his hair. That's a very B&S thing to do...

There is another method of making pseudonyms, which is to take the name of your first pet and follow it with your mother's maiden name. Do any novelists come out of that? Incidentally I become EdwardPetersfield and Goldie Casemore...not especially exciting. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Felt
by Mark Hester 04 Mar '98

04 Mar '98

Quite a few of you seem to like Felt and indeed Felt are mentioned in the sleevenotes to I.Y.F.S. I only heard a couple of their songs on Annie Nightingale's Sunday evening request show (a sad loss from Radio 1) but they made a real impression. How easy is it to get hold of their stuff? And is there a compilation available? Mark. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
