He was here last week -- biondio or something. Posting from Hewson TV. Hoy! Gamesmaster! When's the next series of Wanted?

My flatmate's Australian, and swears by the stuff. You can get it in Somerfields supermarkets over here.

That'll teach them to put out two CDs with crappy remix B-sides). Spiritualized's single was as fantastics as is to be expected, in particular the 7 minutes of Broken Heart. Embrace's is better than the last one. Grandaddy was alright. Money Mark is great, and I'm going to buy the album. But my single of the week for last week has to be B*Witched's "C'est la Vie". Just for the Irish jig in the middle eighth. Unprecedented. Spice who?

It's the best show from the BBC all last year. Wonderful stuff. Look forward to the chocolate mousse on tomorrow night's episode.

Well that means that you missed what enraptured myself and my flatmate upon returning from the pub on Friday night... "Buddy's Song". With Chesney "Mole" Hawkes. My, how we chortled. And it had your woman from "Teenage Health Freak" (the bitchy one) in a totally unnecessary topless scene. An e-mail to Empire Magazine's "Where Are They Now?" page is in the pipeline.

Mmmmm... Mmmm, yes. Sally Phillips is her name, and she is just totally wonderful. I met her at the Edinburgh Fringe a couple of years ago (getting the impression that she was attached to Richard Herring), and she is lovelier in the flesh.

To put an age on that joke, Ronnie Corbett told it on the Ben Elton show last week. And it's been on this list before: http://www.majordomo.net/sinister/hypermail/1998-month-04/0090.html (Though everyone else thought that the Spice Girls joke was worth more discussion.) And now... Today's consumer tip: If you own some of that strawberry-scented body wash stuff that they sell at The Body Shop, do not, I repeat, DO NOT under any circumstances be tempted, no matter how deceptively delicious the smell, to actually try tasting the substance. You will inevitably find this to be A Big Fucking Mistake (TM). Rod.

Sinister: re Sarah's recent output
by Henry 01 Jun '98

01 Jun '98

Hi, It's very quiet..t .. t . . t Sarah, If you think having a neighbour who likes Jazzy stuff is bad, I've got two disagreeable tastes either side of me: One drum + bass with his own mixing deck etc. and one who listens to that modern Indian racket with a cheesy beat and cringeworthy lyrics, and something wailing in the background, both very loud or not at all. When it gets bad the only thing for it is My Bloody Valentine - I think it was invented for drowning out other noise. Dangermouse gets my vote, followed by Batfink, which I remember being really good but cannot in fact remember any details. Concerning Manc picnics, I will be out of here by the weekend after next, so maybe next term? (I don't presume this thing revolves around me, but there don't seem to be many of us interested). Now, I don't know if these things ever work, but if some generous soul fancies making a tape of "moon safari" by Air for me, could you mail me? (london or manc address)......I've run out of money ....boohoo. bye bye, Henry ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

by G R Thomas 01 Jun '98

Hello everyone, Well, it's about that time of year, isn't it, when thoughts turn to summer, to a distinct lack of responsibility, and of course, NO SINISTER!!! Oh no!! Run away! Yes, unfourtunately, I have to bid farewell at this point, as I shall be returning to the parental home from which I came as of Wednesday. It's been a fantastic 9 months for the list (the babies are evidence of this) and I will be so very sad to go. I'm looking forward to my summer and all, but I'm gonna miss you guys. So, you all keep loving and living and all that stuff, and I'll see you all soon, Bye now, GIDEONxxx "Avanti!"-Piers Cuthbertson-Smythe ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Angel's sigh
by Ayacolor＠aol.com 01 Jun '98

Sorry I was wrong. I felt sinister for my English. It is Angel's sigh. In Japanese, " tensi no tameiki " Sucks! English sounds much more better. Crazy Japanese always want to name worse.

Certainly not, in fact the more "new" people coming along the better, well, as new as anyone can be on a list that's only run for 9 months. Indeed a few of us now know each other but that's absolutely nothing to do with not wanting new people to come along. Please do.

Sinister: The time has come...
by Anna_Chapman＠idg.com 01 Jun '98

01 Jun '98

Hi Well I have spent about 5 months now monitering the sinister mailing list. sometimes almost plucking up the courage to write and then quickly loosing my bottle. a couple of times now I have mailed one line questions but never any more than that. Imagining your responses when forced to read something that I have written is enough to make me tremblke with fear, well almost!!! So summer has arrived and you are all talking of picnics and such.... tell me are these picnics just for old established members of the list or can anyone come along. They sound like such fun but one wonders if she would be frowned upon for just turning up?? Someone told me a while back that Belle and Sebastian were due to make a new release some time in May yet I have heard nothing since... was this true or simply a viscious rumour??? Also are there any gigs/concerts in the pipeline at the moment. Wee I guess I have done the same with this mail as always. asked a short question, although this time I have at least tried to pad it out. I would be very grateful if any of you could answer my questions and also if you would forgive me for my rambling mess of a mail. I t must take time and exoerience to become as good as some of you. Later, Anna ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Gomez and Morris dancers: one of these things is good
by ELIZABETH DAPLYN 01 Jun '98

01 Jun '98

Bloody hell, why can't I type "sinister" without adding an extra "s" and making it "sinsister"? It's a recurrent problem, and one that probably means I have *issues* with my family or something... Anyway, what an odd weekend I had. Inbetween stressing about my Foundation Course exhibition and trying to get the supporting work for my final piece up to scratch, I sampled the *delights* of the Rochester-Upon-Medway Dickens Festival. For those who are not habitees of the Medway area of Kent (and I suspect there may be a few of these on the list), Rochester is where the fool Charles Dickens wrote and set a lot of his books. So _obviously_ EVERYTHING which happens here has to be Dickenscentric. Morris Dancers there were thankfully few when I went down to the high street, but people dressed up as Queen Victoria and Miss Havisham there were many. The coolest bit was going on the Merry-Go-Round in the castle gardens. Even though my friends made me ride on a giant chicken instead of a wee horsie like they did, the scum. And the calliope organ thing played "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat", which was ill-advised in _my_ humble opinion... Ah, and the delights of a Thai Spring Roll from the acest restaurant in town's outside stall, scoffing hot beansprouts on a lovely sunny day... Eccelente, Ambassador! Has anyone else got the Gomez album? Well, strictly speaking, _I_ haven't got it, my mum has, but I can nick it when I want to listen to it. Anyway, it's great unclassifiable pop-rock-blues-jazz stuff. Au revoir, Liz. **************************************** The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep.
