Sinister: last call! Swannie's on the radio!
by Amanda Bergman 04 Jun '98

04 Jun '98

tomorrow afternoon, 2-4PM U.S. central time (8-10pm UK time; for all other time zones, I'm afraid you'll have to do the math, as I am pish with numbers) point your web browser to: http://www.wnur.org/live.ram and thanks to modern technology you can tune in to my *very last* radio show! as usual, I will take requests via email (a-bergman(a)nwu.edu) until noon (here) tomorrow or you can phone during the aforementioned hours... call (847) 866-WNUR (which is 866-9687) and talk to meeeee! Please please please offer suggestions of what to play, as our record library is vast and I am often too befuddled to know where to begin my foray into the stacks each week. actually, it'd be cool if you could please email me the top 4 belle and sebastian songs you'd like to hear (or wish you could hear, if your browser is not accomodating or you'll *gasp* be away from the computer during those hours) and i'll dedicate a set to the Sinister listees at the end. last time I did my show, I played (among others): Lucksmiths Laika Spinanes Tindersticks Tiger Trap Go-betweens Liz Phair Holiday Flyer Cannanes and the requisite B&S so please tune in if you can! bye bye, Swannie ------------------ Amanda Bergman Northwestern University a-bergman(a)nwu.edu "It's not easy to be attached at the hip to a woman who's giving birth." --_She and I_ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: more cartoons
by Girl Racer 04 Jun '98

04 Jun '98

hi everyone, since the topic of the moment seems to be cartoons, I thought i might as well post cause its a subject very dear to my heart. I think my favorites growing up were Thundercats and Silverhawks, anyone remember those? I do remember watching Dangermouse and Bananaman too! Nickelodeon used to be the bomb!! I remember watching Nickelodeon for whole days at a time... Double Dare, You Can't Do that on Television... classic shows. nowadays my vote would have to go to the Simpsons. Actually the Simpsons is one of the only shows on TV that i would actually plan to watch nowadays. that and "Iron Chefs". (an AWESOME Japanese cooking program) has anyone ever heard of it? I've been a big fan of that show since my best friend introduced it to me 2 years ago. it's on one of the Asian cable channels here in S.F. Anyways back to cartoons, of course i have to take the opportunity to promote the movie I'm animating on currently... "A Bug's Life". it's coming out in November. go see it! peace out. tasha -- Tasha Wedeen tasha(a)pixar.com http://www.geocities/~girlracer ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Superheros of kids TV.
by Gary Done 04 Jun '98

04 Jun '98

I'm sorry but when it comes to god like genius on kid's TV, there is only one applicant, that man is Derek Griffiths and he is god. The man could do anything, sing, dance, make crap things out of bits of tissue and that weird paste like glue that you could peel off your hands when it dried, anything. Well thats my tuppence worth on Kids TV, except to say that my fave cartoon animation thingy was always Mr Benn and for live action you couldn't beat a bit of Rentaghost could you.

Two years ago in a poetry class, we were supposed to be recalling a various number of childhood memories and turning them into poetry, blah, blah, blah. Well, every single thing I wrote had something to do with Riki Tiki Tavi. Those crazy snakes haunt me. Even when I went back and read the Rudyard Kipling short story, I was disturbed. I wonder if there's a support group for this... Meghan ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

by KATE ANDERSON 03 Jun '98

03 Jun '98

listening to scot fm sunday nite to that program that i can't remember the name of, a children's record fronted by bob dora (?) cropped up. it's got 10 songs, each one sesame steet style showcasing (sssss) the talents of each number . de la soul sampled NUMBER 3 for their magico hit record and it's just really good jazz pop funk like a love! and the lyrics aren't about grinding sex or revenge or love or the world which i like too. it's quite rare now this, i think. so if anyone knows what i'm rambling on about or HAS a copy of this disc , please mail me and mebbe i could get a tape, huh? please? kate xx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: cartooooons

YES. I lovvvved The Last Unicorn. And I did see Animalymics. My favorite part was the running race between a pretty female animal and some fast male mammal. The two competed for several days, then fell in love and finished the race holding hands. Aww.. I also used to really like Riki Tiki Tavi, but now I think it's a little creepy. -Kristen ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: cringe...
by Henry 03 Jun '98

03 Jun '98

Here's my lot on the cartoon thread: (Pigeon street, YES! "Long distance Clara" etc. classic.) Nobody's mentioned the Carebears, sure they were terrible, but I can't think of all these other cartoons without thinking of them. When we used to go to the video store my sister always wanted a carebears video and I wanted a superman film. I don't think Uncle Paul will be pleased to get back and find the b+s list has mutated into a "cartoons for the under ten's" list... byedybye, Henry. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

>Flippin' eck, and here's me having spent half the day ensnared in the >clutches of that tv.cream thing that Rodddd (a bad influence on _this_ >cartoon nostalgic at the least) posted the URL for, and looking for stuff on >G-Force (or Gatchaman, as I have learnt the original version was called, or >Battle of the Planets as _another_ alternate identity) at the very moment >when this email arrived. > Oh...."Battle Of The Planets" was the best thing ever...I remember being about 8, and this girl, Kelly Mulkey, getting a BOTP lunchbox...I was soooo jealous I plotted her death....(never did it tho...my mother promised me a Monkees lunch box if I spared her life...) Anyway...I found a lunchbox way cooler than hers (about a month ago here in LA)....It just has Mark on the front...the people at the store didn't even know what it was..they thought it was Speed Racer. Score! I've got some original Gatchaman videos as well as the tamed down American translation that became Battle of The Planets. The new series makes me ashamed to breathe air. They're all hip hopped out and 90's-fied. Yuk. OH ...speaking of the 70's...not sure if Brits ever had any of this....but over the weekend I met the creators of HR Pufinstuf, The Land Of the Lost, The Bugaloos, The Banana Splits....etc.....they complimented me on my Tinky Winky backpack, and said they wish they would have done something like that....*sigh* It was cool to meet and converse with the men who made the monster... grrrrrrrrr beth ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
