RE: Sinister: ...The audience at a Bros concert

That blond bloke said: >Saw Rod Hull & Emu live once at the Kings Theatre in Embra. They weren't >very good though. You sick bastard, Rod. I saw the dynamic duo in Coventry, starring in Emu in Pantoland. They were magnificent. And the late great Billy Daintee was even better. The people sitting next to me may have wondered what I was on....EMU POWER of course. Nice to see "Goodbye to Love" get a mention. The guitar solo alone is worth the price of admission, really superb fretwork, a proper sonic meltdown of the kind Jimi Hendrix could only dream about. I think I'll go and listen to it now.

Sinister: you should never flog a dead horse...
by sezah 07 Apr '98

07 Apr '98

ok groovers, so i know this subject is dead and almost buried, but i must put in my 2 bobs worth as i have been dwelling on the subject for *such* a long time!!...such a ditherer...but i was nervous, this being my first posting and all...of course i'm talking about the sad songs thingy (collective groan)...i know, i know, but bear with me!! i think i may have given this just a *little* too much thought, but it was hard for me, because i found that most of the songs that make me feel sad also make me feel happy at the same time!! it's just too much fun at times to wallow in ones sorrow. it can tend to be a comforting experience i find... the ultimate one for me is THE CARPENTERS...they get me every time, but especially "goodbye to love", "solitaire" and "rainy days and mondays"...these are a real indulgence!! others that make it to my list are: NICK CAVE - loom of the land PJ HARVEY - plants and rags THE GOD MACHINE - it's all over LOU REED - perfect day RADIOHEAD - street spirit, climbing up the walls, lucky SMASHING PUMPKINS - to forgive ARROSA - bells PEARL JAM - black unfortunately my happy list is not quite as comprehensive...this was even harder to formulate!! most of my happy songs tend to be those that are good for driving on those perfectly wonderous days when it is a joyous occasion to be alive!!! many of you have recounted such experiences.... anyway, 3 i shall share with you now are: THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS - "bird house in your soul". was most impressed to see someone else mentioned this chirpy marvel...just pipped to the post!! SPENCER DAVIS GROUP - "gimme some lovin' " STYLE COUNCIL - "shout to the top". this song is perhaps one of my favourite high school remembrances as it featured in one - no, THE only, P.E class i ever enjoyed!! we spent the entire period running around like maniacs, calling it "modern dance", this song blaring out and reverberating around the gym...what a feeling!! you will no doubt notice the absence of any masterpiece from that group...you know, whatstheirname - they are the reason this list was formulated in the first place...you know the ones...8) well they would need their very own "feeling" list altogether, but that's another posting.... happy easter dears... sezah xo ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

by Ayacolor 07 Apr '98

07 Apr '98

Helooooooo. Boys and Girls! It's your colorful Aya again! Check this out. I went record shop in Machida (the suburb of Tokyo),they said "POWER PICK!!! B&S's new album is coming to us in April 7th!!!" SO! I never heard about new album coming and I ran into this store today. I thought I could be the 1st girl having new B&S album. hehehe~ MEN! It was Japanese version of "If you feeling sinister". DAMN!! And it named "A sigh of Angel" hn. This frustration is enough to buy a new CD, so I got "TRICATEL6" It was gooood gooood. Guitar lif(rif) is killer. Now in here B&S become very big deal in Tokyo. Some of major record shop is saying "MUST! Item to B&S. Kind of famouse magazine has B&S issue. And I saw the other Japanese guys around sinister mailing list. (say:IRUTOMO!!) Love and peace! AyaXXXX =PS =If you went to see Brian Jonstown Massacre in London, Let me know about it. PLEASE!! AND I need some Mac user to help me out to get chat proglam. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: What's got 10,000 legs and no pubic hair?
by Rod Begbie 07 Apr '98

07 Apr '98

I've had a long weekend, so there's shedloads in my mailbox. All replies are in the order in which they arrived in my box. On Fri, 3 Apr 1998, JOSEPH FOSTER wrote: > The song that reveals how I feel about sex is ' whatever happened to > you', the theme tune to 'whatever happened to the likely lads'. Snuff do a punk cover version of this. It's on the Deceptive 50 album. On Sat, 4 Apr 1998, Dr E.J. Edwards wrote: > Why has no-one mentioned PlayAway?? With the God like stature of > Brian Cant (now to be heard over dubbing a cartoon for Lee & Herring). Saw him doing a show in the MacBob in Stirling, accompanied by Jonathon Cohen on piano. The only joke I remember is him saying he would get the name of someone in the audience, and instantly think of a song with their name in it. A girl shouts out her name, and he launches into Happy Birthday. > and for those really young at > heart is it the round window, the square window....? I read somewhere that the choice of window was meant to relate to the topic of the film, so if it was about making footballs, they went through the round window. For this reason, the arch window was almost never used. On Sat, 4 Apr 1998, jon g. wrote: > I think we're going to have to have our own separate list for kids tv > discussions. For those of you with newsgroup access, there exists uk.media.tv.childrens for this kind of discussion. On Sat, 4 Apr 1998, Alan Prior wrote: > I went to see Glen Michael's Cavalcade live, y'know...was this programme > broadcast in England? Probably not. I've still got his autograph somewhere, > I think... It was only on in STV-land. I went to one of his shows, too, and won a jigsaw with him and Paladin and Rusty on it. I'm still upset that he didn't read out my birthday when my mum sent it in, though. > Someone mentioned 'Gregory's Girl'... Omigod, I love this film! Much as I love it, I'm really concerned about the news that Bill Forsyth is making a sequel. The story is apparently going to be about Gregory now that he's approaching middle-age. I can't imagine it will be anything near as gripping as the original. On Sat, 4 Apr 1998, John Jackson wrote: > Yes well you could apply this to anyone. Someone posts something > that you perceive to be really offensive but you know them so that's > ok. Someone else posts something you don't like but you don't know > them so you send something to the list giving them a telling off. > Double standards maybe? That's the way it seems to me. One list member told me that he was pissed off by my flippant comments about "Kate Winslet's tits and hand shandies" (his words, not mine), but the posting of the Sinister sleaze-quiz (anal sex and masturbation featuring quite heavily) drew nary a complaint from him. And I have been accused of being a misogynistic racist cunt after posting that Spice Girls gag, by someone who clearly has no idea of what "racist" means. Describing someone as "black" is not racist. Stereotyping someone *because* they're black is. I do not get offended if someone describes me as blond. If someone said "All blond people have small willies", I might have cause for complaint. (oh, and as for the "misogynist" tag, tell that to my sister who originally told me that joke.) On Sat, 4 Apr 1998, Alan Prior wrote: > Yay! Just found 'Gregory's Girl' video, so i'm off to watch it again. > then maybe 'Dazed & Confused' again. After the Ferris Bueller discussions on here, I bought the video on Saturday for a fiver. Spent the weekend at my parents' house, and what should be on satellite but... Ferris Bueller. Along with The Breakfast Club and another John Hughes teen-angst movie. An effing top night was had by all. > so many ways of avoiding > revision/homework... Worms 2 is standing me in good stead at the moment. (two weeks til my finals. <sigh> I'm panicking about how little I've done, and yet can't get motivated to do anything. I wish I could be a committed go-getter type, but I just cannot be arsed.) On Sun, 5 Apr 1998, Courtney Knopf wrote: > I finally visited Rod's page. I was endlessly amused and I cannot wait > for his review of the Spice Girls concert. baited breath, I tell you;) Well, to start with, here's the 50-words-or-less review I wrote for Melody Maker's "Readers Lives" section: "Tonight, the Spicey bandwagon rolled in to town, and though it may damage my cred to admit it, I was there, slamming it to the left, with 8,000 like-minded fans. I can be an indiekid the other 364 days. Tonight Matthew, I'm going to be Pop Boy." The concert itself was just unreally great. I danced, I jumped, I screamed, I waved, I cheered, I sang. It was terrific. The gals were onstage for about 1hr 40mins, which is impressive when you consider that the two albums combined are only 1h20m. Their costumes were smart and Mel C got the biggest cheer of the night when she came on in a Scotland football top. Surprise of the night goes to Victoria's voice, which was *astounding*! Considering the fact that when Wannabe came out, I described her as "the one at the back who doesn't sing", it was incredible how great she sounded when doing songs like Viva Forever. The audience was mainly pre- to early-teen girls (with parents in tow), but it has to be said that they were nowhere near as up-for-it as me, my sister and her friend (ages 21, 19 and 20 respectively). I mean, they *sat down* for goodness sake! We were up on our feet the whole time, and I fear that the 10-year-olds next to me were thinking "What is that wanker on?", the answer to which being "GIRL POWER!" It opened with William Shatner's voice booming "SPICE... the final frontier. Their mission: To boldly go where no girl group has gone before", and finished with them leaving the stage to the riff from "Firestarter" And the songs... well, you know them all already, but the way they ripped through them was unreal. And they finished with a storming version of "We Are Family". What? Did you expect a bad review?

Well, if you want a reason to go back, I've got about 15 photos of me (ranging from baby to early teens) in my bag which I'm scanning in after I've finished going through all the Sinister mail, and which I'll put online soon. Try http://www.begbie.com/rod/photos/ after about three o'clock. I'll get around to doing webpages around them some other time. > i went off the last album for a bit, > 'specially as people kept singing bits out of 'Disco 2000' at me. It's going to get worse...
