Sinister: Titanic is great!
by Alberto Perez 03 Mar '98

03 Mar '98

Just listen to the eco in the middle of the ocean... wow! and the water-resistent lights on the cabins when the ship is break in two! And those streboscopic-disco-underwater-effects!. Just a pitty that in my city there´s no disco as cool as Titanic! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Stuart says he'd rather do it on the day of the chat so get >your software ready. Very poor show. As my dad would say, "we all have to do things we don't like doing". And I think publicly answering questions about one's sexual orientation falls firmly into that category. What a shame Field Marshall Murdoch has bottled it. We could do with something like that to get us back on track. I suppose someone will just have to make the answers up instead. Go on Chris, you do it. But try and keep your testicles out of it this time. In an attempt to join in all the photo fun I have been surfing the web in search of a picture of my alter-ego, Bobby Chariot. There aren't any. Not one. Still, not to worry. I'm sure I'll find something appropriately obese. Peter ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Not B&S
by MATTHEW M STEAD 03 Mar '98

Sorry to waste everone's time, but I just found out that my seminar tutor's name is Richard Starkey! Ringo's proper name. How exciting is that eh!...oh not very. Nevermind. Anyone else know anyone with really cool names. I was going to change my middle name to Godfrey, but I never had the time. 'Mayfly' should like this one.....or whatever he's called at the moment!

>he has another band, The 6ths, but I don't know it yet. Ah The 6ths. Not really another band. More of a tribute to himself. Stephin wrote all the songs and then had his favorite indie rock vocalists come in and sing the words to his wonderful bubblegum electro pop ditties. Guests include Georgia Hubley (Yo La Tengo), Lou Barlow (Sebadoh, Folk Implosion, etc), Mac McCaughan (Superchunk, Portastatic), Mark Robinson (Air Miami, Unrest), Mary Timony (Helium), Barbara Manning (SF Seals), and too many others to list hear. This is my favorite Stephin Merritt project because the variety of vocalists is wonderful but the music keeps this album very cohesive and doesn't allow it to become a compilation or mix tape affair (I really hate that stuff). Later, ANDY ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Roald Dahl [non-B&S]

In a message dated 98-03-01 18:06:57 EST, you write: << Lizzie mentioned Road Dahll well, may i just point out that this guy is NOT As INNOCNET AS WE ALL BELIEVE! in the Oxfam shop in Preston, theres 2 copies of a book called 'Switch Bitch' by ROAD DAHL! and you can guess as to their content can't you!!! Oxfam too....dearie me...then again i didbuy a TOM JONES! boigrapghy there. >> Roald Dahl is a fantastic writer and despite the sometimes macabre, frequently shocking, but always entertaining nature of his stories, he is not as misanthropic as many would have us believe. I recommend "Switch Bitch" and "Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life : The Country Stories of Roald Dahl" highly. Okay, he is quite the purveyer of the perverse (see: "My Uncle Oswald" about a post- Victorian self-styled sperm broker intent on preserving the ....um.... specimens of all the great minds of his day.) but there are few writers with the imagination to elevate the 'weird' to 'art' as he does. ~harry manning ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Lesley >> Bill Hicks was this incredibly funny comedian from America who died in the early 9tees. Look for the 4-cd reissue series that came out on RykoDisc last year. He was a great social critic of the Reagan-era. He also has a routine that makes fun of Debbie Gibson and Tiffany in such a crude and cutting way I imagine it'd still bring tears to their eyes if they were ever to hear. Radiohead dedicated The Bends to Bill Hicks. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
