Sinister: Some boy's jumper for goalposts.
by babyblu＠gold.globalcafe.co.uk 05 Jun '98

05 Jun '98

First off,for anyone who's off to the impossibly glamourous Blue Soda tonight,a few of us are up for trundling off to 'Popstars' after the last twangy note from Erland's sweet seductive guitar has expired. So make sure you pack your tube of glitter and bring along your dancing trousers (or indeed, your dancing Trousers) Secondly, anyone who wants to relieve the might and the glory of the unofficial sinisterines five a side match should get themselves along to Battersea park (probably) on Sunday for a smorgasbord of footballing delights (oh alright then, a few skinny boys running around aimlessly until they have to sit down and have a fag). Yes we are planning another kickabout, come along and play 'til your calves seize up! Mail me or Mark "Biondino" Cassarato for all the details etc. Thirdly, as a kind of continuation to secondly, would anyone be at all interested in getting togethe a semi permanent five a side team? We could challenge other twee-pop bands mailing lists and organise a kind of fey world cup. Fresh air, sunshine, the thrill of knocking in six against The Delgardos in the semis, what more could you want from life ? Stay in shape, Roryxxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Dolores Haze and someone from Denver
by Jennifer 02 Jun '98

02 Jun '98

Hello lovelies. Oh, the joys of Nabokov! Just finished reading _Lolita_ today....damn good read. At the back of the book I noticed a list of other works by Vlad -- included is _Bend Sinister_ and _ The Real Life of Sebastian Knight_.....do i sense another literary connection? Actually, all that mess about Nabokov was just a pretext to glean other information: I am looking for Chris from Denver. Jaysen lost your email address and he needs to plan a picnic with you. Email me privately and I'll give you his new address. Thanks for the bambini, HoneyPaul! joining the Arturan sect, jennifer ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: notes from the record store
by McGuire 31 May '98

31 May '98

hello everyone. i just got home from work and figured i'd jot of a note to the list before lying down unconsious for twelve hours. ok, now to the reason i'm writing. i sold TWO whole copies of sinister tonight! hurray for me. the first was to this guy who actually came up to me and asked for it. i was so shocked cos he was this mucled out hollywood boy who i figured wanted to know where to find some electronica cd or something like that. so anyway, i found him a copy and sailed back to the register floating on air. well, metaphorically speaking. the next copy i actually got to recommend. i felt all sly and shit. it was to this twenty something girl who asked if i had any suggestions. i was all pumped. the only problem is i had a shit time describing it to her. i tried to use the whole nick drake-esque vocals thing on her but she didnt know him. so i just made up a bunch of shit. either way, she bought it and i felt all useful for a few hours. ok. this was boring. but hell, so am i. it flows. -kelly ryan mcguire "sometimes you got to make it alone" ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Re: st etienne (NBSC)
by Nicola4230＠aol.com 31 May '98

Teri wrote: <<tiny question: who is st.etienne (sp?), and what do they sound like?>> One of my favorite pop bands ever, that's who!!! They are an English dance-pop trio who specialize in kitsch, I guess you could say. Their music is sort of ironic pop, some of it remniscient of the girl groups of the 60s, some of it more euro-cheese disco. Have you heard of Dubstar? Peach (Union)? Mono? Even the Cardigans? To some extent they all took ideas from St Et, with lesser results (save the Cards), IMHO. If you like Pizzicato Five, that's another fair comparison. The vocalist of Saint Etienne is the adorable feather-boa'd Sarah Cracknell, a true DOLL with the voice of an angel. Saint Et's most recent offerings don't quite live up to their earlier stuff, but the album "So Tough" or their compilation "Too Young To Die" is a good starting point. If you want I could even throw together mix tape for you... Anyway i'm sure there are tons of people who just hate the Et, but that's my two cents. viva las vegas!! tarabelle PS YAY Jochen!!! I'm so glad my nagging worked;-) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: a belated report
by megan 30 May '98

30 May '98

alright, i admit that i fell down on my duty reporting to the list after the uk, but give me some slack. i'm still out in moscow and unsure of where i'll be living next year, so i'm not entirely settled yet. anyway, i'm really not sure how to report on a week, and spill all the dirty little secrets i discovered about the uk sinisterines, so i'm afraid i'll have to fall back on the method of using *ink polaroids*. i wonder if stuey d regrets having thought of the concept? i know a few list people at least wish that he hadn't. ;) first off is a picture from edinburgh. this was taken at a pub, which is incredibly shocking as i'm sure none of you on the list had pegged the scottish contingent of this list as drinkers. i'm afraid that i feel compelled to disillusion you lot and point out that they *are*. so anyway, this one is taken at the last pub of the evening and by this point we've all gotten quite comfortable with one another. honeypaul, linda (who ought to post to the list *hint* ;), and i are all seated in front of empty glasses. keith, however, is nursing his drink like a "poof". i, however, am too innocent to understand what that word means. the woman has rung the bell, which is the polite british manner of kicking out the drunks, or so i'm told. but we're too involved discussing the merits of m2 over vh1, or at least i am. as apparently the others have never seen m2. for the record, it's *much* better, there's really no comparison. this next one was taken again in edinburgh the next day. paul and i are in the car, and i'm on the left, doubled up laughing. paul is laughing too, and a bit sheepish and embarassed over the fact that he just flipped off the driver in the car ahead of us. it was an accident, he was just doing it to show me, but the driver in the car ahead saw and flipped us off in return, so i'm having a good laugh. for the record, paul was much embarassed. this one is taken that evening, at the poetry cafe during the blue soda social. i am currently whupping nick dastoor's ass at operation. however, i'm standing up and leaning over to talk to andy dean, who didn't say a *word* to me until tag told me who he was. so anyway, as i'm sure you're all quite confused about this picture, i'll recap. nick and tag seated at the table, talking. me standing behind tag, talking to andy, the last person, over this little magazine rack. maybe i should draw a diagram. ok, this one was taken later that evening, at the social. susannah, isobel, and james are in conversation on one side of the table, and i've heard enough to be quite interested in what was said. susannah looks inquisitively at isobel, isobel looks a little shocked and embarassed by the question, and james just looks damp (though i don't know why). i'm looking at tag, whose trying to pretend like he doesn't hear, though he's mouthing what was said at me behind his hand. i'm trying not to laugh, and very impressed with sus. this last picture was taken the next evening, right after the saint etienne concert. i'm standing with stephen trousers, and we're waiting for tag in the foreground. in the back, you can see tag with dazed grin on his face while some girl gives him a hug. i dunno who she is, but trous is laughing. someone named emmy-kate. whatever. so that's something of a synopsis of my week. someday, perhaps soon, i'll get regular email access. till then i'll be checking the archives, so no badmouthing me behind my back!!! xox megan ps - i can still take personal mail at this address. i know you were all dying to know that. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: International Courtesan of the Year
by Mark Casarotto 30 May '98

30 May '98

Keith, you were right, what a fantastic joke! Now I'll look silly when I tell all my friends and they already know it because it's been on national radio. My friend Dearbhla told me a joke about the RUC yesterday which was moderatle funny, but it's v. longwinded and potentially offensive to Irish protestants, so I'll leave it for now. I think I made it for two days without posting anything, which isn't bad - but I imagine this is how a first cigarette feels after weeks of gnawing your feet off and finally giving in... Just listened to String Bean Jean again after remembering (does anyone else have a huge fuckoff problem typing the word "remember", or is it just me?) how great it was at the picnic. Just when you think they can't get any more evocative...this new album has an unprecedented amount of sheer wonderfulness to be compared to... It's a beautiful evening, and I'm copping out of popstarz as I have v little money (sorry Rory), but I think I shall go for a stroll in a second and try and let a bit of nature penetrate this grimy, narrow-minded city boy. I like the spring. See you all in 7 days? Social is on next week, I am presuming? Love you all - yes, each and every one of you ;-} Biondino, confidante of the late "Legs" akimbeau, International Courtesan of the Year 1932-38, comin' atcha x "Bababababababababababababababababababababababa ooma mow mow ooma oomow ma-mow (ba ba ba) ooma mow mow (ba ba) oomow ma-mow, ah well-a everybody's heard about the bird........." ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: early to bed
by Richard Hutt 30 May '98

30 May '98

It's 6 p.m. in California, and I'm wondering if the list has an early bedtime. It goes all quiet after midnight Greenwich Mean Time. Does that mean everyone is in the U.K. - or are the rest of us too polite to start conversations at this ungodly hour - and will little listie get a later bedtime as it grows up? And what does "more professional" mean exactly? I heard the words Steely Dan - truly, a double-edged sword. Could be good, could be...oh of course it will be good. Having said little, I am off, like a dirty shirt.

by Gary Done 29 May '98

29 May '98

Ahhh, it's lickle Sarah... >hey hey we're not the monkees... >class song by the way.... "What, what's going on, we're not the Monkees, ah don't even like the Monkees, i've never liked the Monkees". Yes class song and indeed album. > well, since you asked.....picnics in edinberg? pish. now, picnics in > Preston are ace. And Manchester! Manc picnics seem to involve picnic > food from burger king and scary evil cars but never mind. Nooo fear the scary car, any car which has a green tongue in it driven by a man with no arms and a green head, is way too scary for my liking. A Manchester picnic would be good, but have you forgotten about the scary pigeons already ?. > i think that Gorkys were completely faboo when i saw them on Saturday, Ermm, Sarah Gorkys was on Tuesday night, you seem to have lost a couple of days, but yes, they were indeed fabarooney. > i am offically classed as "lickle" - aren't i > gary :) even though i am not that lickle. only 5 foot something. Argghhhh!! was this a conspiracy of yours Sarah to get me to post to this list after you mentioning that I hardly ever do, err well if so I guess it worked. Yep, your official title is "Lickle Sarah, list pixie of so many internet mailing lists they're too numerous to mention". Nooo your not that small really, at least not when you put your 8 inch sparkly platform boots on your not. 87) > new super furries single rules. I second that, it rules totally.
