Hello out there! I've just joined the elite list of B&S fans and was wondering if any of you came from Edinburgh where I believe the list began. I'm going to Edinburgh Uni in October and wanted to find out if anyone knows any cool venues or music shops etc. Cheers, Rob ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Re : Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
by m.williams＠napier.ac.uk 09 Jun '98

Nothing to do with the band, well maybe theres a connection somewhere ? Anyway, my mate chad reckons he got engaged at the weekend in a graveyard where the aforementioned Mr Doyle is burried and he reckons its near Bournemouth in the New Forrest, so I thought that some of you clever sinister folk could confirm the existance of grave and graveyard. I thought of trying The Conan Doyle in Picardy Place but I dont think its a very good pub and I bet they wouldnt know anyway. Thank you in anticipation for your help - I dont want the little rat to pull one over on me as is often the case. Mark ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: No sex please, we're sinister
by mctag＠mcmail.com 09 Jun '98

09 Jun '98

Hello Playmates, That sitcom idea of Mark's has inspired me, and so I've come up with some fine ideas for the Sinister sitcom. I toyed with "Carry on romping" (starring Kenneth Williams as Stu Murdo, Charles Hawtrey as Stu D, with Bernard Bresslaw fitting the Fatty Hopkins role - maybe "fitting" isn't the right word, filling is probably more appropriate) but once I'd cast Hattie Jacques as Honey and Babs Windsor as Katrina, I ran out of ideas. Then I thought of those wonderful gentle Sunday evening comedies that Julian says I love so much. I was seriously considering "Oh! Doctor Mitchell", before I realised that it was, in fact, bollocks. I rejected "Are you being Sinister" (though Keith shouting "I'm free" did have a certain appeal). "Allo, allo" got a look in too, but Genevieve in a French maid's uniform and my great plan for the part of Herr Flick got rejected as being...err, dodgy. So, it's going to be the Terry and Joooooon option, I'm afraid. It's set in leafy suburbia, a cul de sac populated by seemingly normal Daily Mail readers, but closer imspection reveals that them to be ... strange. So here's the cast: Mr Trousers: the earnest commuter, married to Susannah, a buxom young woman with a sexual appetite to make one blush. She's always suggesting he takes time out of his busy schedule or "can't you have it off for once in your life?" as she puts it. Every episode revolves around his attempts to avoid sex. However, this does not mean he isn't interested, and his attentions are drawn frequently drawn to: Honey, the dazzling young blonde from next door. But Honey has a strange secret tucked away. Can you guess what it is viewers? Needless to say, Honey works at a fruit and veg shop, and Trousers is very partial to ripe, firm melons. Esme, the mousy librarian always turning up at inoppurtune moments. Anne has offered her services and suggested she has telekinetic powers, which she is amusingly unaware of. As far as I'm concerned this means she can make people's trousers fall down with the blink of an eye. Anne also suggested that Esme is constantly referring to her imaginary husband, who I shall call Mr Flopp. She is completely bonkers. Mr Dandycock (played by Keith), a camp hairdresser, who lives with his "brother" Rodney. Mr Dandycock fancies Mr Trousers rotten, and is forever suggesting he "pops round the back". For a cup of tea. Inspector Ramsbottom, the local policeman, played by Peter Miller. Ramsbottom is a jovial old lech, forever being called the scene of Trousers compromising predicaments. Often he will call round to the Trousers residence and will knock at the door and comment on Susannah's "magnificent knockers". Until next time...shake your booty, Love Tag x ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Kevin Gallagher...

..will score against Brazil. I've just got this feeling. So that's my last post to the list before unsubscribing - what a way to go. I'm leaving my job today and although I'll get on to the digest at my earliest it feels like something is really changing. I can't remember when I subscribed to the list first but ever since, sinister has been a major part of my working day adding a touch of everything that's missing from the working life of a 28 year old analyst programmer. Thanks very much to everybody and it's been really nice to meet so many of you at manchester or the picnics or the social. I love the list. :) But I'm looking forward to comming atcha once again soon and the good news is I won't be Johnston, John CT ever again! xx john crace trewin johnston ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Record Breakers
by ELIZABETH DAPLYN 09 Jun '98

09 Jun '98

The subject refers to me, myself and I. For lo, on Sunday I took part in an attempt to break the record for the world's largest orchestra: So I drove down to Ashford with some other intrepid musicians, waited in a queue for parking for aaaaages, got sorted with some sheet music and sat down to await the call to arms. Christ, how many 5-year old recorder players and mini violinists can there _be_ in Kent? All confused about where to stand and needing their music rescued from the evil clutches of the wild Kentish wind every 10 seconds. Due to the bizarre weather, I got a sunburnt nose and then simultaneously drowned and whiplashed by the wind and rain. Anyway, after an hour or so of rehearsing, we actually played the piece (specially composed for the occasion and not much cop, frankly. "Music for Multitudes"? Sheesh...). 9 minutes long, and the heroic conductor managed to keep everyone together by way of being 20ft up in the air on a scaffold and waving his arms in increasingly large circles for beat indications. We did it! Yay! 2212 players (beating the record of 2049). I've got a nice certificate and everything... Ecch, and then I had to hang around for another hour to play with my windband in the VIP tent. Never mind, it was a good day. I just thought you should know, see... ByeBye, Liz. ************************************************************* Love without hope, as when the young bird-catcher Swept off his tall hat to the Squire's own daughter, So let the imprisoned larks escape and fly Singing about her head, as she rode by.

Sinister: Re: Rufus Wainwright

>Date: Sat, 6 Jun 1998 10:10:31 EDT >From: EmitEcaps(a)aol.com >Subject: Sinister: Rufus Wainwright > > I just want to know if anybody's heard the Rufus Wainwright >album? I listened to most of it yesterday and REALLY liked it. Kind >of a moer folksy Radiohead meets the Divine Comedy (the strings) and >Ben Folds Five (the piano playing). I just thought I'd spread the >word... Oh my dear! i have been smitten with this CD since february (and it didn't come out until May) when I first heard him on KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic. He did an in studio performance that I happend to catch half of. (amazing since i'm not usually up early enough to hear it). And now that I have the CD, it's barely left my player since the day I bought it. I've been playing it in the car a lot...and my dad likes him. He's also decided that he likes Pulp, as I was playing bits of This Is Hardcore in the car as well. My dad is so hip. And if you would like to hear a sampling of fair Rufus' mucis, check out his KCRW appearance in the KCRW archives at www.liveconcerts.com. check out the february one as it is longer and better than his May appearance. Get the hence. There will be a quiz, so pay attention:) ~Courtney The Sultraness of Swing "Go to all the poshest places, with their familiar faces...." ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Everyone *must* buy > 'Plays Pretty for Baby'. No, really. absolutely True. you all must buy this record, and their other as well, "the 13 point plan to destroy america." the nation have an aesthetic all their own, although i'm not so keen on the new make*up ... also, if interested in nou, check out ian's (the singer for the nation of ulysses) pre-nou band, the cupid car club on kill rock stars. my apologies if this is horribly off-topic... consider me chastised already, and move on. paul. (another one, apparently) ps: nou politics are actually based on proudhon, kropotkin, bakunin... other "revolutionaries" ideas/ideals. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
