Sinister: Old chestnuts.
by Chris D Martin 13 May '98

How's about, how's about this for an idea for Tigermilk tapes. An honesty - or a honesty, depending on your intonation - box crossed with an advanced order list. In other words, we all send someone ten pounds when we get a copy of Tigermilk. This money is kept in a bank - original eh? - as advance payment for one of the first real versions of Tigermilk when it is rereleased. And if it isn't re-released by, say, the end of the millenium, its either sent back, or spent on sweeties for a fuck-off big picnic. just an idea, love, chris dm ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

More on the bands/songs named after books: Anybody in the UK remember a band named Sombrero Fallout being hotly tipped in the NME and others as "one to watch" in '97 before vanishing into obscurity? Their name was pinched from the Richard Brautigan novel of the same moniker. Good book - shite name for a band. Just watching MTVs Alternative Nation and the video for 'Weed Bus' by The Stairs just came on which I hadn't heard in years until I got the 12" for 20p down a carboot sale about a month ago... weird eh? "it's a one-four-seven and you know your in heaven...Yeah..." Another band for the "Whatever happened to?" list. They were good too. Yours bored, The Lairdster.

Sinister: san fran area Sinister meet
by Tara Widmer 13 May '98

13 May '98

Does anybody in the SF Bay Area want to get together for a picnic? There are three or four of us, who have said , "Yes we'd like that" and are trying to guage the interest levels of other listees. Maybe this weekend (yes it *is* short notice) probably in Golden Gate Park, Sunday, weather permitting. Even if this week is not good but you fancy the idea anyway, e-mail me personally either here or at home (Emmapeel2000(a)hotmail.com) and we'll try to sort something out for a possible future event. cheers!

oh oh oh!!! i know this one!!!! the Cure took "Charlotte Sometimes" from a book called "charlotte Sometimes" by Penelope Farmer. the first sentence in the book is "by bedtime all the faces, all the voices had blurred for charlotte to one face, one voice." i just got done reading it, it's a good book. and for all you cure fans...there are two other refernces in that Robert used from the same book. they are the title of another song "splintered in her head" and he took a line "stiff as toys and tall as men" and put it in the song "the empty world" that's all my knowlege with the cure and the book "charlotte sometimes" :) lovelisa i think this was my first post! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Breakfast at Tiffany's references
by Lucy Munro 12 May '98

12 May '98

>> There's also Woman Of The World which is about Holly >> Golightly from >> Breakfast At Tiffany's. >as is menswear's 'hollywood girl on the fire escape' (or whatever it >was called) Dmitri From Paris's 'Une Very Stylish Fille' is built round a sample from the soundtrack of the film of Breakfast at Tiffany's - not Audrey H. but Patricia Neal, who played Paul/Fred's rich lover, saying "I am a *very* stylish girl". Oh, and I've just found out that my supervisor for my PhD is a Belle and Sebastian fan. But he doesn't have Tigermilk, so I said I'd make him a tape - is that bribery and corruption?

Sinister: songbooks
by Alan Prior 12 May '98

12 May '98

continuing with this thread of bands/songs named after books... there's this author (i don't think he's been mentioned on this list yet, yous probably haven't heard of him before), but i think his name is Douglas Coupland- sommat like that, anyway- and he's written this book called 'Girlfriend in a Coma' which has been totally ripped off by some young bunch of chancers called 'The Smiths'. the title is one of their songs, as are a large number of quotes from throughout the book (Hand In Glove, The Queen Is Dead, That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore... the list goes on). they've obviously just flicked through the book and picked out quotes to use for their songs. it's a disgrace, someone should be told. still, they're not that bad, really. they've got some nice tunes, remind me of Gene a bit, though- obviously fans- and the guitarist is desperate to be bernard butler. not that i blame him. they could do well, i think, with the right management... maybe get a support slot with suede on their next tour... just thought yous should know...

Sinister: Insomnia Rocks....
by Andrew James Bonar 12 May '98

12 May '98

Yeah, I've been up all friggin' night, and have discovered many important things, which I would like to share. 1:Two songs off 'Bwd Time' by Gorky's Zygotic Mynci called 'The Game of Eyes' (with its preceding interlude of what sounds like pixies being machine-gunned) and 'Blood Chant' have the two distinctive effects of making my flatmates pish themselves laughing, and freaking them out so that they leave the room. 2:Playing 'Burning Wheel' by the Primals at high volume on repeat just pisses them off. 3:If 'Donimo' by the Cocteaus was a place, I would quite happily spend the rest of my days there, armed with a huge supply of strawberries & cream, and copious amounts of recreational drugs. 4:Try as I might, I will never achieve my ambition of being able to sing like a Buckley and play guitar like a Verlaine. Especially 'cos I'm always damaging my health and co-ordination with bad habits like smoking, drinking and eating lots of chilli. 5:Cockroaches are cunning little fuckers. Only this morning I was re-creating scenes from 'Alien', looking under every single bit of furniture and waving a shovel about. Eventually I caught the pernicious wee sod and threw him out the window. Should have kept him to frighten people with... or trained him to guard my food supply.... 6:Sometimes, sleep's quite a good idea. I think I'll pop out and get some.
