Sinister: even long shots make it
by Jackson,John 19 May '98

Hello I just wanted to say, I quite like the Del Amitri Scotland football song, it's quite nice really. Come on, you all KNOW you love Del Amitri. They ROCK. Got the DEEJAY PUNK ROC album yesterday, it is an essential purchase for you all. Also the Mogwai remix album which is less essential and contains maybe 4 good tracks, the best being the Arab Strap megamix. I don't like the new St Etienne album much, sorry.

Sinister: we've come this far
by PKHINTZ 18 May '98

It was either this past weekend, or the weekend before, I can't really recall, that only one year ago I bought _If You're Feeling Sinister_. I had read praise of it for over six months on another mailing list by then, and since I am a trusting fellow, I took the chance and bought it. I put it on, and after about twenty seconds, wondered if it were even playing. I turned the volume up to be sure that the CD was not defective--only to deafened with the rest of the instruments coming in after Stuart M's quiet guitar opening. Oh, it was't such a pleasant summer living at home, but I did find myself listening to _IYFS_ often. Too often, by some accounts. A soundtrack for late nights, laying on the bed with a book, trying not to move so the heat would not attack. A soundtrack for afternoons, wasting the time away, waiting for the day to end. I am sure that I listened to it in the mornings also. I stayed at home that summer; I didn't like to leave the house. Here I am again, living at home for the summer. I have listened to _IYFS_ on some of the hotter afternoons that have graced me here; it feels so comfortable, like an old friend I have not been able to have a deep convesation with for too long. I listened to the album during the winter and spring, but it just doesn't feel the same as it does now. It is a refuge from the heat--"cool" in too many senses of the word. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I managed to fail my Higher Modern Studies *so* badly, they didn't even put it on my exam certificate! I only took it cause I had a bit of a crush on the teacher. I spent the year practising my "Doing The Crossword" skills.

I did UK Political System, the NHS, Russia and Afro-American relations. Of which I can remember almost, but not quite, precisely bugger-all cubed. > so of course > i'm typing e-mails instead. and going to see urusei yatsura tonight. Rotter. Due to skintness and impending degree failure, I'm stuck in a computing lab at Heriot-Watt attempting to write a module of code which translates RTF to HTML (yeah, be impressed) And the c*ntmongering BBC have fixed the hole in their RealAudio censorship, so I canny hear Kenickie and the JAMC on The Evening Session.

I have nothing to add, I just thought this warranted repeating :) Saw a great show on Saturday night - a ventriloquist called David Strassman. The most offensive puppet show I've ever seen (I don't remember Orville telling a knock-knock joke with the punchline "ah, fuck yourself"), and it was technically incredible (the animatronic dinosaurs which perform Bohemian Rhapsody were stunning), and well worth a fiver (student discount for a box seat!) The guy's got a one-off TV show on ITV Saturday night, but it'll probably be shite (what with it being on ITV and all). Of course, I was in such a good mood on Saturday evening that I could have sat through Kula Shaker with a big grin on my face! Hearts for the double, next year! Rod.

Sinister: Pish / Lunchtime / Abbaon / Raj / MILLER

>1) on the way into town on the bus, the driver pulled over on the way >through the village, said "i'll just be a minute", got out, crossed the >road and went into the pub. He then came back out and carried on with the >journey. Hmmm. Strange this actually cause once I got the train from Edinburgh to Glasgow (or Embra to Glasgae is you want to be fucking irritating about it). I was standing outside the drivers bit talking to the ticket bloke and the train stopped, the driver went out the door on to the track, so I ask the ticket bloke what was going on, and he just said "Ach, the driver's just popped out for a piss". Went down the town at lunchtime today and bought a couple of singles, the Delgados one, which I really bought on account of the cover being really nice - I'm afraid I don't like the record that much, even if they did nurture a giant rat back to health. I also bought the Tricky single. The Hip Hop mix has some good beats on it, but some rather irritating noises in the background and the single itself is a bit lame - a wee bit too wilfully "arty" if you ask me. Tricky's had some fucking brilliant moments (Abbaon Fat Tracks, Christian Sands, Hell is around the corner), but unfortunately he has some pish moments too, and on first listening, I'd say this is one of them. Maybe I'll change my mind later on in the week. Had a nice time last Thursday when Megan popped up for the day and we went out for a meal at the Raj in Leith, which boasts 1983 prices, which I thought was very generous, and an excellent curry was had by all. Followed by a drink in one of the weird local pubs. Had a very nice time, and I think Megan enjoyed herself too, however, I expect she'll post a report herself. I'm working on unix machines at the moment, but figured I'd better rush back to send this letter from my PC, since Mr.MILLER is in Britain at the moment I'd better make a play to get well ahead of him in the posting stakes. Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
