Sinister: Off topic
by Keith Watson 22 May '98

22 May '98

Just out of interest, has anyone ever seen a copy of "De La Remix", the De la soul remix album anywhere on CD? If you have do you want to let me know where, I've had this thing on tape a few years but want it on CD cause it's completely great, but I've failed to find it anywhere. Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: loving stina, edinburgh, rubbish bands and peas
by Honey 22 May '98

22 May '98

Woo, Stina has popped up on the list *again* - I've said it before (tediously - see http://www.majordomo.net/sinister/hypermail/1998-month-03/0563.html ), but a Stina Nordenstam list is the only other mailing list I've been tempted to set up (so far resisted: I'd quite like to keep my job... oh go on, someone tempt me). Can't remember if anyone summarised: but her three LPs are: "Memories of a Color" (sic), "And She Closed Her Eyes" and "Dynamite". Buy them all! They sort of go up in ascending order of quirkiness and descending order of sweetness, while all remaining quirky and sweet (yes it's Friday). If you haven't bought any buy the middle one. Caveat: some people will hate her voice. Me, I'm just swimmingly in love. If you want be a party to other Stina rumblings, go to the Sinister WWW pages (below), go to "Search", type in Stina and click both buttons below (search all content, all months). Cheap advert - use the search thing. What else oh evil bunny clones?

Hmm, true my office is a bit crap - I can only see the city if I stand on my desk and look out of the windows 6 feet up. HOWEVER - I want you all to kneel and kiss the "proper" University machine, charmingly called "sloth" which I am typing on, which is actually the Sinister machine and woofs for you all like a faithful doggie (except when it screws up and sends you 20 copies of the same mail). Mark Casarotto wrote: > A question - when someone writes something relevant particularly to > you, or relating to something you said in a posting, is it etiquette > to write to them individually or to post on the list? I think the only way to answer that, with my sensible trousers on, is to think how many people might like to know, and pray to Sir Cliff - there's 500 people on the list, so just - hmm make sure you might interest a good few. And, nagging mumsy that I am, please take a look at the Frequently Asked Questions on the WWW site where I've tried to give a feel, with help from some others, for what people should post and what not. Often lists die through dispersion of content and squabbling - you lot seem mostly to have an uncanny ability to rally round and save the list. That's why I wish to pleasure you all. Besides, I don't feel so bad nagging just now as I've just received the nicest message about the list from my comments page - n, I love you. Whoever it was who told us about sitting outside a pub at the London peekneek and strumming B&S songs and being asked for an autograph: a response from a band member heard recently: "That's a crazy old story about the picnic buskers. They must have been pretty bad to get mistaken for the real thing. :)" Anyone who went to Manchester will know what he means. JOKE! I think I'll go now. My travel agent called Linda can't decide if I'm being driven or trained to Glasgow this evening to the Serge do. I'm standing by the door with my hat and coat on, humming a tune and waiting to be told what to do. Honeybyes xxxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Apocalypse WOW!
by Nick Dastoor 22 May '98

22 May '98

Katrina gushed: >Well, we at Jeepster finally heard the tracks of which the album will >be selected last weekend. Richard and Isobel came down to London >bringing the elusive CD with them. Listening to the CD made me >remember just why I fell in love with this band in the first place. >The recordings sound fresh and new and (dare i say it!) professional >[...] Tentative release date for the LP looks to be late August/early >September ... we still don't have a title! Look, there's not nearly enough excitement being generated on the list about this. It's been about eight months since the last EP and almost a year and a half since the last album. You should all be climbing up the wall and refusing all offers of assistance, by now You know what I think? I think everyone's afraid to say that they don't really like Belle and Sebasatian anymore and are only subscribed to this list to swap notes on picnic etiquitte and Air imports. And meet girls. Well I'm going to generate some excitement all on my own. WOOOOSSSHHH! Bring on the next set of piss poor Postcard-era Orange Juice imitations and make it snappy! Because it hasn't been snappy, has it? It should have been finished months ago and reliable sources tell me that it has gone way way over budget. Is this their Apocalypse Now? Exciting new song titles to chew over: The Gate, Space Boy Dream, I Know Where the Summer Goes and It Could Have Been a Brilliant Career. Perhaps the last of these is the one they played in Manchester that I'm sure I heard the line "He had a stroke at 25" in. A sorry tale. Any ideas for the album's title?

Ho ho ho ho, you are soooooooooooooo wrong. I had 4 (Four) (as they do on the viddy-printer on Grandstand when some totally unbelieveable score comes in from a game between Ross County and Cowdenbeath in the Scottish third likes anyone actually ever gave a toss otherwise more than 400 would turn for the game itself in the first place)unsuccessful tests. On the fifth test I was over the drink-drive limit as I had to have quite a very large whisky indeed to stop me shaking. Naturally, this was the test I passed. Good luck in your test my dear, indeed, good luck to anyone who has any exams in the near future. Is five driving tests a list record ? To go with my list record of smartest dressed male between hours of 9-5 (I claim this as my underwear is definitely more refined than that of Christoph Leonard, allegedly), and maybe even gangliest list-git (although I feel Stuart G maybe edging me out in this one). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: driving tests, cover versions

I've managed to fail my driving test seven times, probably becoming eight in a couple of weeks time. I've now resorted to trying to make it seem like an amusing and whimisical quirk in my character, rather than admitting that I just can't drive very well. A few days ago Mike Newman suggested that B&S should do a version of MacArthur Park. If they were to do a Jimmy Webb song (and I hope they do) I reckon it should be "Where's The Playground, Susie ?" or The Strawberry Children's "Love Years Coming". I'd also like to hear them have a bash at Julian Cope's "Elegant Chaos". I'm getting v excited about the new record, especially as Katrina said it sounded "professional". I hope it has a Steely Dan-type vibe. Have a nice weekend everyone. Cheers, Adam xx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: miserable moss faced bastards

Message text written by "A.M. Horne" >more relevantly tho.... isn't ben elton rubbish now?< one of *the* most annoying men on telly at the moment. compounded by the fact that he has bloody ronnie corbet on his show. arse indeed. am bored now cos no more exams or school and consequently no more work to do EVER. ahahaha. have no job either, am completely unemployable. Also, does anyone know of a site where I might be able to download Morphine videos? Also, is Albert Camus on cover of Sergeant Pepper? Also, what is I.M.F. actually for, bearing in mind that only about four countries in world don't have crippling national debts? Also, why Enigma puzzles in Sunday Telegraph never known to have been completed by any terrestrial intelligence? Doh. Why three generations of Multi Cheerios adverts (hey wow!, synth pop, guitar pop) consistently second worst adverts on television? Similarly, why three generations of Farmfoods adverts (fronted by polar bears, Wo-gan the Terrible, Jimmy Tarbuck) consistently third worst? But I digress. Message text written by Sarah >looked at Edinburgs - surprised not to see any Honeys in catsuits adorning the centrefold, but alas Edinbra does no media poo, which is the only thing i THINK i might end up doing...wow, having to think about futures, I CAN'T GO TO UNIVERSITY! THATS GROWN UP!!!!< you dont wanna come to edinburgh anyway, its pish. but napier uni in embra probably has media stuff- its not a big stuck up crappy place like the 'proper' uni. but its still crap. have decided maybe not to go to uni now. will work in Fopp instead. perhaps.

Sinister: What a lovely day for a shout.../question

If so, the lady on the cover of IYFS should be told - she probably stlll thinks K was really killed at the end of the book. Did she appear in the Fakirs snogfest video? 2. question Gwendal Tanguy asked what Tigermilk means, which I can't answer but would like to ask if Gwendal is related to artist Yves Tanguy, which always struck me as a great name for an artist (or even a great surname for anybody in a sunny climate).
