Sinister: probably boring stuff, sorry
by Vicky Parkinson 29 Jun '98

29 Jun '98

In 15 mins I'm supposed to impress my supervisor with how much work I've done over the past fortnight, and give her a bibliography, but as I spent 5 days in glasgow, 5 in Chorley (don't go ever, horrible lancashire grim factory town) and spent the past2 hrs reading the 346 messages I got while I was away I shall have to do some bullshitting about disks not reading and 'I'll email you my bibliography honest'. Someone said something about a strange English bloke in Nimbus at the Longest Day. Tis Ben, and he has a huge following of girlies because they go for the skeletal look and cheekbones that will cut lots of things. He's also a total lovie and probably had at least 3 illegal substances coursing through his veins. But Nimbus are great. Unfortunately the sound was pretty crap and the bass was far too loud, so they could not be truly appreciated. After reading 346 messages my brain is feeling a little dizzy, and though I know there are loads of things I want to say the neurons aren't firing properly The feeling of converting people to B & S is absolutely amazing. I returned home yesterday to find a new flatmate moving in, we had a bonding beer and music session last night, and I played B & S and he brought out a Nick Drake cd which was my first listen. Slowdive are THE best band to listen to while falling asleep, although Mark Eitzel's latest album and the first solo one are pretty good Vinyl is great for many reasons, but particularly because it is cheap, generally, and nobody borrows it cos they can't play it, and therefor your music collection remains intact and not scattered across the globe. Oh dear, the hour of reckoning is upon me........ Vicky ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Oooh, this takes me back!!! How about My Bloody Valentine (circa 'Loveless'), or possibly even some early Boo Radleys? (Ichabod & I, Every Heaven ep, Boo up! ep). Maybe even some early Lush? I saw Slowdive play live, and they were actually very good. The support bands were both pretty good as well! I also have a signed copy of 'Just for a day', I wonder if this is worth anything now? (probably not, I believe they did a lot of signings around this time). My green slowdive t-shirt has almost faded to white now, not that I ever wear it anymore... ah memories! On the LOOP (not LOOPER not LOOMER!) debate, I bought 'Arc-lite' single by Loop back in ooh 90 or 91, I recall someone say Loop were similar to Spacemen 3 (who I was very much into, still am in fact). I listened to it a bare handful of times & shelved it, can't really recall what it was like. On a whim, a few months ago I bought 'Heaven's End', it was only 6 quid 2nd hand in Action Records I think, I still haven't listened to it!!! Lots of other new stuff, y'see P!O!P children! regards, stephen ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: the clearing

jong (a fellow cancerian): >What do Chris and Isobel actually do on Arab Strap's The Clearing? Cos I >can't hear any cello and I can't hear any keys. Mayeb it's different on the >single version to the album version. Could someone tell me? The single version is much better with loads of extra stuff and remixes and that. And keyboards. I am 25 today and hungover. Luckily I had a little too much class to be drinking blue md20/20, or I would be far worse. And I got a present of the 25th anniversary version of Superfly. Yay! Actually, this probably isn't the news that 510 other people wanted to hear, so I go now. love to all joss ____________________________________________________________ Go see: http://indigo.ie/~bcheatle/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Gibbergibberhughjenkinsgibbergibber

Hello people, Would anyone (privately) like to tell me what's going on at the moment.? It's just that for the last week or so, all I've heard from you is a few fantastic freeform digests, normally going: GibbergibbergibbergibberHUGHJENKINSgibbergibberyou get my point. And though they were entertaining, now I find that everyones buying some 7" I've never heard of and watching some gig I never heard about. So, help, please? Incidently, on a f**tball tip, today my good friend Mel mentioned the words 'Rory' and 'Michael Owen' close proximity. We bow to you football heroes of the list He's just converted three more people to B&S. And they were Embrace fans. Don't just keep the faith, let's evangelize! Tamborines at the ready! Hoorah!

Sinister: The Clearing

What do Chris and Isobel actually do on Arab Strap's The Clearing? Cos I can't hear any cello and I can't hear any keys. Mayeb it's different on the single version to the album version. Could someone tell me? I don't want to say anything else, because I spent 11 hours on or near to trains on Thursday and I haven't recovered yet. All of B&S's recorded output only lasts just over 3 hours.
