Hullo boys and girls. Ummm a few people mentioned meeting up for the Scotland vs Norway match. If anybody anywhere near Central London fancies coming along, a few of us (including fans from both countries) are going to meet up at the Poetry Caff * around 4.00pm to go on to a suitable pub nearby. Trousers xoxoxoxo * The Poetry Caff, 22 Betterton Street, London WC2. It's a coupla minutes from Covent Garden tube, between Endell Street and Drury Lane. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: dull dull dull
by Honey 15 Jun '98

Boring message, but I'd like to preface it with a comment to Bethey that I'd rather play with my Princess Angel Barbie than watch footie any day. OK here goes - please read at least quickly as it'll keep me in a job: if you stop receiving mails from the list please see the section on the WWW site for information on how to get yourself fixed. It's at: http://www.majordomo.net/sinister/faq.html#6 The answer is usually that there's a screw up somewhere with your email at your service provider - I deal with about, ooo, 5 of these at least a day. What happens is, if your mail fails to get through on many consecutive occasions, you get taken off Sinister and put on another list which will privately keep trying to email you, so that when your mail gets fixed it can tell you what you can do to get back. If you see one of these mails just follow the instructions. If your mail dries up please help me out by doing some work yourself before mailing me: 1. Check there ARE actually mails coming in that you aren't receiving - look at the WWW archives: http://www.majordomo.net/sinister/hypermail/current/ 2. Check you are still on the list: http://www.majordomo.net/sinister/#join If not and you expect to be (remember to check the digest version too) then your mail will have been knackered for so long you got put on bounces. Await an email. 3. If you ARE on Sinister and you still aren't receiving mail, check the directory of the last 100 error messages the list is currently receiving at: http://www.majordomo.net/sinister/errors They're totally cryptic and tricky to look through, but it will at least tell you if you have problems, and you may want to take the error to your system admin or service provider and stick a pencil up their nose. It at least tells you if Sinister can't send to you for some reason. 4. If you're really stuck still, mail me. But I'll be there with a pencil if you haven't at least taken a quick look at 1) to 3).

I'm happy that there are pop bands out there that admit they listen to that sort of stuff and not turn their nose up at it because they are serious rock musicians. So, for the most part, I don't know much about Jeepster. Are they a new label? Are they strictly in for cool indie bands that only get play on US college stations like Matador?

Blue Soda was suffering slightly from the Missing Jenga Block (which pretty much accounted for the tower's collapse on my go rather than Susannah's, as far as I can ascertain; really, I've worked it out with maths and stuff, don't argue with me on this one) and the non-bucking Buckaroo until Trousers brought us all to order with the first of possibly many Fantastic Pop Quizzes. Now, I may be doing their fellow team members a disservice, but having both Tag and Andy Dean on your side pretty much makes for a foregone conclusion in my book... *and* they had the best name (something long-winded and rude I seem to recall) just in case of a tie (no chance of that). Mistaking Bobbie Gentry for Laura Nyro in the picture round and forgetting Holly and the bleeding Italians... just humiliating... Afterwards a small but tightly bound group of us wandered into deepest Holborn. While the rest of us queued for Popstarz, Tag, overcome by a roaring tiredness, opted for a wild cab ride to SE16 with Trousers' keys clutched firmly in his hand, never to be seen again. Stevie T, Sabine, Elizabeth, Philippa and myself then danced ourselves sick until the small hours, before surrendering ourselves to the night, dodgy cabs and wandering buses. To bed in broad daylight for the first time in... (Stereo) Mike. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Keith, as I have it on good authority that you've recently been demoted from "ruler" to "governor" i think you are hardly the person to patronise us for lacklustre romping. In fact, London rocked over the weekend. And our friends in the North are merely jealous. Led by the mighty Sabine, and in honour of Elisabeth Z's birthday, a blue soda posse ruled the dancefloor at Popstarz until the early hours. In fact the only person not to rule that night was Bobby MacT, who retired home at an early hour. A thoroughly limp display from the sparkly orange boy, who is now no longer a ruler, nor even a governor, but merely an administrator.

Sinister: Monday morning miscellany
by Kevan Cooke 15 Jun '98

> Apro pos of something a while back, rum goes very nicely with anything > tropical in theme - pineapple, coconut, umbrellas, fruit on sticks. Absolutely. Also try spiced rum neat with ice. The yankophobes out there who find Coke/Pepsi unacceptably American should try KwikSave's own brand cola. It only costs three pence for two litres and health risks have not been proven. > Ooh ze Serge. I want to buy Serge. But no-one will tell me where to > start!!! where do i start!? and don't say with a #900 quid box set, else > i will have to shoot you! The three compilations released a couple of years ago cover Serge's career from jazz beginnings to 60s pop genius (Du Jazz dans le Ravin, Coleur Cafe, and Comic Strip). His later stuff is all readily available, and some of the best things he did in the seventies and eighties were the records he wrote for other people - Jane Birkin, Brigitte Bardot, Isabelle Adjani and Catherine Deneuve spring to mind. > Then the bloke from the band said that he was listening to the Sound Of Music > soundtrack a lot at the moment, which granted him instant credibility with > myself, as it is a great film, as I'm sure you'll agree. Bizarrely I own the soundtrack but have never seen the film. When I lived in Manchester I used to play "Climb Every Mountain" very loud from time to time to piss off my Neanderthal neighbour (who was into doing structural damage with bass speakers at 4am). > i noticed on CDZONE (UK) and some other > web-based cd ordering org. that the B&S release > "MODERN ROCK SONGS" is out and able to be ordered. It appeared a while ago, I got all excited and (impulsive as I am) ordered it along with a couple of other things. The release date on the site has been put back by a week every week ever since, and now it looks like they're not sending me the other things I ordered until the B&S single is released - Grrrr. > I'm also wondering if all you listees have a somewhat pro-Scotland/anti-London > stance. Would it be the same if B&S came from Finchley? I suspect the pro-Scotland bias is based on the fact that many of the listees are Scottish, I could be wrong.

Sinister: Ruling report
by Keith Watson 15 Jun '98

15 Jun '98

It turns out there wasn't much of a competition, as I've been advised that not a lot of ruling went on in London anyway, that's a pity, the idea was more to encourage a good time rather than actively seek a competition anyway. Well, we ruled anyway and a good time was had by all the people involved. Pity about Jamaica last night, they played well and were unlucky, however, they feigned no injury and politely helped the Croats who were pretending to be injured to their feet. Hopefully the Reggaeboyz will do better in their next game. As regards Mark's letter about people dissing London and stuff, well, I suppose it's fairly inevitable when the list's about a band who come from Glasgow. Perhaps occassionally you become a little bit fed up spending your whole life watching the telly and only hearing news from London, I've had a nice time every time I've been to London, but gave up the idea of living there recently for exactly the reasons you describe. Too big, takes bloody ages to get anywhere. - everyone seems to be rushing about all over the place too, that might've just been my impression however. I don't think anyone's come away with anti-London statements on the list though. One thing puzzles me, perhaps Mr.Blair will be able to answer this question, we bumped into a "Sandy", carrying 10 bottles of beer on Sauchiehall st, Saturday night about 11:30 or so, it struck me a few minutes later that this may possibly have been Mr.Sandy Blair (who I believe is still on this list), however I dunno. Was it? Cheers, Keith.
