Sinister: Giddy and the dream of listees
by G R Thomas 07 May '98

07 May '98

Morning, Yes, I had a dream about the list last night (well, this morning). It wasn't so much about the list, but about those on the list that were at the picnic. It's a bit hazy, but basically, there were about 10 of us in this kitchen of this house, and what I remember was it was getting a bit crowded. I rememeber Rory and Susannah trying to find a place to put down a dish of food, and also no-one wanting to touch this smelly greeny cheese stuff. I don't really remember much more about it, as it happened *just* before my alarm went off (at 9.45am for anyone whose interested). Does having a dream just before you wake up mean anything, like you're in deep sleep and then you suddenly wake up (i.e. I really should be sleeping more?) Oh well... Also, did anyone else see Jo Whiley last night, with Jason Donovan? It's so wierd seeing him again, after all this time. He seemed a bit strange, but also really with it for someone who was hounded by the press for quite a while. Oh well, ramble over, Love and Hugs, GIDxxxx "Dave's come in his plane tonight, hasn't he..." ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Porrohman comes from the inside of time
by Adam Robinson 07 May '98

07 May '98

If the mighty Mr Miller sees fit to out himself as an ex-Big Country fan, I feel confident to put my hand up as well. My t-shirt had a picture of a stag "at bay" beside a glistening Scottish loch. It was well smart. I spent many Sunday mornings mulling over the lyrics of "Porrohman" and "The Storm" and to this day haven't a clue what they are all about. Not that I've listened to them for years. Oh, dear me, no. Cheers, Adam (Still a long way to go before I make the chart) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Bullseye
by Martin Conneely 07 May '98

07 May '98

Claire wrote on Wednesday that "it is my birthday tomorrow. i will be twenty three. there seems to be a hell of a lot of birthdays around this time. Any other taureans?" Yes, 11 May in my case. August must have been a wicked month for parents of many listees. Autobiographical Olla will be 21 a day later but my birthday will be double that! At least Mr Bergman is older. Claire also wrote: "what exciting happens at twenty three, oh i have to leave university, damn." So did I, two days after that 23rd birthday, but 23 was one of the best years ever, or so my rapidly eroding memory cells seem to think. Does cigarette smoking prevent Alzheimers? Did the parents of anybody in B&S have active Augusts? Martin C ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Etcetera! Etcera! Etcetera!
by PJMiller 07 May '98

First, a big "Yay!" to Ooon's grandmother, who has memories of elephants. Sorry I haven't replied before, I'm mean-spirited. But I'm sure I speak for the whole list when I say it'll be great "getting to know you, getting to know all about you". Second, a big "Yay!" to Bethey's mum. It must be fantastic to have the fabulous Joe Strummer shout such a lovely thing at you. I like Joe Strummer, not because of the Clash, but because of "Mystery Train", where he proves himself to be a very capable actor. "I mean, I don't call you two Sam and Dave, do I?" Classic. I liked Big Country too. The twelve inch mixes were particularly impressive, bringing out the full magnificence of Stuart Adamson's "SHOUT!" Why do I think that message was a trick to try and "out" Big Country fans? The tape had extra tracks. I could draw that compass logo. I now own a tee shirt with that very logo on it, but all references to Big Country cunningly removed. They went downhill with "Steeltown" which was a load of rubbish about Scots in...oh dear, I've forgotten the name of the place...something like Croydon, but not Croydon. Not to worry, seems like a good time to shut up. Peter "Like a lover's voice on a mountainsiiiiiiiiiide" ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Arab Strap in Leeds

Martin C wrote, >Is is true that Teenage Fanclub sacked Brendan, now drummer with Mogwai I >think, for talking at an Arab Strap gig? Not quite, he was sacked from his post as chief keyboardy noise type extractor for Mogwai, it was for talking at an Arab Strap gig though apparently. I can't remember whether he walked from Teenage Fanclub or was sacked by them as well, it was a while ago and my memory isn't the best at the.... err.. best of times. He was the drummer in TFC though. Well there is my first post, I am no longer a sinister virgin, hmm, is that a bit like a shady non fornicator ?. Just a thought.
