Sinister: I love my brick
by Keith Watson 27 May '98

27 May '98

Hi Chums, we had a great time over the weekend in Glasgow seeing the Gainsbourg thing which was miles better than expected, and it was introduced by Martin Fry as well! This was top. Chris talks about me kicking myself up the arse, well, Chris has had me laughing for a good few days by describing the Queen Mother as being "More machine than man". Are there enough people in Edinburgh by the way who want to come to a picnic? I mean I can certainly bring a load of people along, but that's not really the point, would more people come along if it were in Glasgow again? What do people think? Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: "God-Damned Tree Hugging Hippies!"
by Tara Widmer 27 May '98

27 May '98

A quick report on the San Francisco picnic, which occurred over the weekend. After overcoming my initial shock that other people actually showed up (there were 6 of us total) we sat round a lovely colorful blanket and gorged ourselves on Tostitos, Entenmann's cake (yumm!), Oreos, bean salad, and pita bread with hummus. "Cheese food product" and vegemite were noticeably absent, tho not to the dismay of anyone present. We drank some vodka drink, we drank some whiskey drink. The ensuing chat culminated in indier-than-thou posing as everybody tried to out-do each other with the obscure nature of their musical interests, and who'd gotten into B&S first and knew more about them. Trying to alleviate the tension, Joanna started telling jokes only to have James roll his eyes in exasperation, saying, "Listen this is pish, I think I'll leave..." and high-tailing it out of there. Then Brian bitch-slapped me for (*accidentally*, mind you!!) spilling Sprite on his blanket. Typical Belle fans... who you calling twee? nah In actuality, it was a sunny, relaxing day and the company couldn't have been lovelier! Conversation topics ranged from mod poseurs to Spice Girls (Baby rulz), life in Seattle and Kraftwerk. Entertainment included a bare-breasted hippy woman "possessed by the spirit of Stevie Nicks" who leaped and frolicked in the grass chasing rainbows and such. No need for a ghettoblaster when you have live bongo music!! (they don't call it Hippy Hill for nothing!) We tried borrowing a puppy from one of the abundant soap-dodgers in the park, for company. Thanks to all who came! We should reunite for a record release party or something, no? Tarararara ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: popstarz
by gamesmaster 27 May '98

27 May '98

Oh, I forgot... If anyone on the list ever goes to Popstarz, or Blow Up, or various other alterno-clubs of sorts (I think there's an exciting sounding _something_ on Wednesday nights, but I can't remember what), and wants to meet up at them/before them sometime in the near future, let me know, as I seem to go quite often. This is of course assuming all Listees are genial and groovy, which of course they all are (this is trying not to sound sarky, so don't think I'm taking the piss) - get in touch! PS my real name is Mark aka Biondino, and I normally live at biondino(a)dial.pipex.com - this is just where I work. And it's fab! (okay, that may have been just a touch sarcastic after all...)

Sinister: I hate my job and the fat freaks who run it
by gamesmaster 27 May '98

27 May '98

Hallo there everyone, This letter is being written at the end of the most tedious day of my life - the only highlight was playing as Italy in the 1970 World Cup Final (our scottish chum Gerard was Brazil, natch) in World Cup 98 on the Playstation. And that was rudely cut short when the hideous she- beast that is one of the heads of production (5 foot cubed - not that there's a problem with being large, but when you're a shit with it it seems an obvious target for abuse) confiscated the game like we were some kind of naughty schoolkids. As my mate pointed out, if they will pay us fucking pocket money... Still, my reintroduction to computer games has been a mixed blessing - it's nice to discover all these flash-looking things to while away the time with, but when whiling away becomes wasting your life it's probably a bit negative. Fortunately I don't have a Playstation at home, so I only do it at work. As a matter of interest, has anyone on the list seen "Games World", my very own programme, on Sky 1 on weekday and Saturday mornings? I wouldn't go out of your way to watch it, as it's fairly trousers, but I'd be fascinated to see what people think of it... It's only when I start writing these letters that I realise I have almost nothing of interest to say. For this I apologise. My legs are still aching from the footie at the piquenique (and from standing akimbo while various fey young men got between my legs (ah, glorious days) - you had to be there), but it has to continue - I will become a man- mountain of muscle and sinew, I will! Anyway, the school bell's just gone, so until I'm bored tomorrow, I'll catchya later, honeys! El Biondino xxx -- gamesmaster ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: tigermilk and stuff
by Boodle Boodle Boodle 27 May '98

27 May '98

wow!!!! thanks to sarah i can finally find out what everybody is on about how wonderful tigermilk is. am absolutely smitten. have had it since nine this morning and have played it about four times already. gives me a break from the fieldmice/felt tape someone from teh indiepop list sent me. and i've converted my first person to the cause of belle and sebastian. my friend stuart is a bit of a jangly indie pop person from the late eighties and whatever (in other words when i introduced him to tweenet's database of bands he spent nearly three hours shouting "I REMEMBER THEM! OH WOW!" which was kind of fun) and i told him that he should invest in b&s. he wasn't sure but then i bunged sinister on and now he is sure. heh heh. so another one joins teh rabid ranks of fans.. just watched "that sinking feeling" - channel five in good film shock! i remember a thread from way back when about b&s on soundtracks. is it just me or would they be a dream come true to create the music for a bill forsyth film? lovely films. all of them. wish he'd hurry up and make some more... see ya chris ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Boards of Canada
by John Bleasdale 27 May '98

27 May '98

I just so happened to buy their album last Saturday. I still don't know anything about them (except for my newly gained knowledge that they're from Edinburgh!), I just fancied hearing a new Warp CD. Certainly not "Bangin'" - actually quite mellow in a quirky kind of way. A bit like a melodic Autechre or a more interesting Aphex Twin Ambient Woks vol2. I like it anyway.
