Sinister: Collaborations
by Michael Jones 31 Jul '98

31 Jul '98

You people have short memories... Stuart M: engineered early Scritti Politti singles, mates with Robert Fripp Stuart D: student of Schoenberg, fired as conductor of Bucharest Philarmonic after 'spicing up' performance of Messiaen's 'Turangalila' with shouts of 'Nice one !', 'Quality !' and 'Christ, where did *that* come from ?'; subsequently played marimbas on PiL's 'Death Disco' Isobel: Martin Fry's manager during the lean years, can be heard providing backing vocals on The Clash's 'Sandanista' Chris: toured with Hawkwind in the 70s (in a 'consultative' capacity); co-wrote short-lived 'Rhoda'-spinoff sitcom for NBC shortly after Mick: older than his boyish good looks suggest, he can be spotted on page 15 of the booklet included with Sony's recent Miles Davis/Gil Evans box-set, swapping a joke with Miles during a 'Sketches of Spain' recording break. Something ribald involving 'ladeez', no doubt. Science correspondent for 'Nationwide' in the late 70s Richard: cited as an 'inspiration' on several Ini Kamoze albums; wrote the theme to 'So Haunt Me' Sarah: invented speed garage They were all, of course, Nazi collaborators during Germany's occupation of France in the 1940s. Mike (never took my coat off in the first place). _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Sinister: maladroits a la vignette

It's very good, and doesn't seem to have any guitar solos on it. It has got the funk though, and how. Thank you Peter, I HAVE to meet you. I also have a mental picture of Keef, shamelessly air guitaring as he walks to work. I hope other readers will also take a few minutes from their day, close their eyes, and concentrate hard on this strange but undeniably arousing image. WeeJay, no offence, but your signature footer stinks. Love, Saint Lucy xxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Begorrah, if that isn't the name of Salako's prospective album. Or it was going to be last thing I heard anyway. It's the old "Hey, whatever comes out on Jeepster must be by Belle & Sebastian, right?" thing. CDZone needs a smack and to be sent to bed without any pudding.

And Stuart M's on that polarbear thing too. I will write back later with talk of an exciting new competition! With big prizes of the elvis variety. Anyone here from Singapore? I'm going to Singapore next week, you know. Later list, C PS. Thank you for my list crush, secret lady. I'm much happier now. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

> Peter Miller suggested: > I think it might be a good idea to include a list of side projects and > collaborations in the FAQs or somewhere else. Oh yes. This is a good idea. The only thing I can think of is that Arab Strap single, tho.... ...um... ....er... ....Is Monica Queen included? OK... Bored at work at the moment, let's think. Stuart : Arab Strap Stuart David : Looper Isobel : Arab Strap, Snow Patrol Chris : V-Twin, Arab Strap, his mate's band, the big tall blonde bloke, can't remember his name. Mick : Hardbody, Mojave 3, Amphetameanies (Und Ska Band?), Karelia, Ex-Cathedra Richard : Polarbear MILLER! Just got your tape of Ash Ra Temple and walked into work with it on... It was great, it took me 20 minutes to get to work, and it was a guitar solo all the way! Tim Hopkins would've loved it. Thanks very much for that, hopefully your tape will arrive soon. I must also apologise as I'm not gonna be able to send my tape tree tape off until Sunday, as I'm in Glasgow tonight, will send it off first class on Sunday though - that should make up for it. About B+S in clubs, they play them quite a lot in clubs here, although perhaps that isn't all that surprising. This is how you generally dance to them... Dance like a complete bastard, then wake up the next morning having stuffed your knee in really badly, ignore it for about 2 months, hoping it's gonna go away, it doesn't... Go and see the doctor, who arranges an appointment with the physiotherapist, go and see the physio yesterday and get told that it's doing OK, and should I do x amount of exercises then soon I'll be OK. Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: My god captain! He's de-lurking off the starboard bow...
by Mark Crutch 31 Jul '98

31 Jul '98

Okay, so I've been on the list for... well, must be at least two days now, and still just getting into the vibe of it all. Nice and relaxed; I like that. And lots of rambling; I like that too. So I figured I'd ramble a bit myself, prompted by the following:- ---- Quoty Bit --- I noticed from the photo on the recent Jeepster mailout that Stewpot M is left handed...I'm sure this explains a lot. Such as ---- Other quoty bit --- > Why is Stuart M pretending to be left-handed? Does he want us all to > think that he is in league with the DEVIL???? Hm...just guessing here. I don't remember much from my two years of Latin. Don't blame me, it was...uh I'd say over 6 years ago. Anyway, the latin word for left is Sinister, Sinistris. Raises some interesting ---- End of quoty bits --- I wondered about any left-handed connection myself, given that I'm very, very sinister, and a frequent poster to alt.lefthanders. Yes, the word comes from Latin (those Roman bastards were highly anti-sinister; you weren't even allowed to join their army if you were a lefty - and they invented the right-handed handshake, and fascist salute). Apart from that, I also can't remember much of my Latin, from 9 years ago (except some song lyrics I wrote which slipped into the dead tongue - "Caecilius in horto sedet//Et multo vino bibet//Et quarto canem videt...") but i do know that very few languages, regardless of their roots, have anything nice to say about lefties (e.g. French: "Gauche" meaning left, or awkward!). I'm even using left-handedness as the subject of my second novel (and yes, the first one failed to get published (though I didn't actually try very hard), so it's on my web pages if you want it, together with some short stories. End of plug). Whilst I'm rambling, a brief introduction: 25, male, stupidly long hair, good looking to wildebeest, hoping to go to London for the gig but waiting 'til a friend of mine returns from the states to see if she wants to go too, apart from her I know nobody round here (Bucks, UK) who's into B & S - and I'm not even sure about her (but her foot was definitely tapping when I blasted her with Me & The Major in the car) Enough for now; I'll write again sometime when I feel I've got something to say, but in the meantime I'll just disappear into the ethereal mists of some ethereally misty place. Ye gods! I'm more adept at rambling than I ever could have imagined! Xav ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Which can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on what you think of that place. LA listees, isn't there also a club named after something by Pulp - "lipgloss" or "his'n'hers" or "common people" or something??? I'm surprised "Disco 2000" hasn't been taken. Or "this is hardcore" for that matter. Have fun, Tasha!! Today I tried to reserve a copy of "the Boy with.." and the people at the store i called (who shall remain nameless cos they don't need the advertising) wouldn't do it because "the album title and release date haven't really been confirmed". this is rubbish right?? I think he just said that so he could make sure they all got their copies first or something:-P He didn't even sound impressed that I "received an e-mail from the record company verifying this info." poo. <<also i'll miss sarah.
