Sinister: another expression of ticket joy
by Cassell Professional Publishing 21 Jul '98

21 Jul '98

This is probably going to really start annoying anyone who can't make it to the concerts, but it's just *so* exciting! It's been a horrendous day at work, my knee is a disaster, but just the fact that I have a ticket for September makes it all worthwhile. Hi Debbie! it is indeed David of old Ruth notoriety here. Your tape has got me through the last few months, especially Wrong Love. What's happened to that one? What's happened to the Middle Distance Runner, as well? Would anyone object if a six week old baby comes to the concert in London? It should be born any day now, and its parents would like to bring it along. I'm only asking because the last wedding I went to was butchered, atmosphere wise, by a screaming infant. Is the Shepherds bush empire big enough for a baby not to matter? If anyone objects violently, let me know. Has anyone read The Wind-up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami? It is truly the best book I've read in years. Every single thing that happens in it is totally bizarre, but the narrator is the most laid-back guy in the world, and refuses to be fazed by anything. It makes you laugh and cry and all that stuff. And it's piss easy to read, as well. Went to see Jerry Seinfeld at the Palladium the other night: the best opening to any show I've ever seen. A three minute standing ovation, then twenty seconds of silence, followed by the line: You know what I like about the Chinese people? Perhaps you had to be there... Time Out today describes David Gedge's new project as sounding a bit like Belle and Sebastian. This sounds as likely as Peter Hook's new project sounding like Billie, but there you go. Why are journalists so lazy? Take care, DAVID ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: London Ticket Prices
by Katrina House 21 Jul '98

21 Jul '98

hi all, i've had a few people mail me and ask whether they are being ripped off as Stargreen are charging 12 pounds per ticket for the london gig. basically, it's ten pounds for the ticket plus a two pound booking fee per ticket plus 50p postage (up to 5 tickets and then i think they do them registered at 4.75 pounds!) hope that clears up any confusion. cheers, Katrina. -- ************************************************************************ jeepster recordings ltd. - mailto:a-and-r@jeepster.co.uk 217 canalot, 222 kensal road, london, w10 5bn, uk phone - 0181 964 9432, fax - 0181 964 8600 http://www.jeepster.co.uk ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Keith and Stephen, in a tree. K!I!S!S!I!N!G!
by Mctaggart, Robert 21 Jul '98

21 Jul '98

Hello young lovers, I'd sit down for a while, it's enormous (as it were). There's a taste sensation. And it's sweeping the nation. Firstly Jessica wrote: >"Wings of Desire" is one of my long-time recommendations. then Joss wrote: >I'm listening to that Impressions compilation on kent and it >is truly the finest thing ever. Both these statements win the Tag kitemark of approval. I didn't like "Wings of desire" when I first saw it, and I can only assume I was mad. It's got Columbo in it, and Nick Cave too, and as if that wasn't enough, it is beautiful. The sequel, "Far away, so close" is tops too, even U2 can't spoil it, especially with the presence of Nastassja "prrrrOWWW" Kinski. I bought the Impressions compilation by accident, and it blew my socks off. Come the revolution, anyone who can listen to "You always hurt me" and not dance like a fiend and cry real tears should be shot (with a water pistol, I hasten to add). In the light of all this wanton tastefulness, Killjoy Keith had to spoil it all by writing: >och, The Pastels are crap Keith, if the Pastels are so crap, why were you standing at Hillhead Station with grinning all over your face when Stephen Pastel was there? It's because you can't wait to rip off his duffle coat and do the wild thing, isn't it? Personally, the Pastels rock my world, and always have. What else is new? Class war? How did that happen? As far as I'm concerned, bleating about being middle class and no-one understanding you is akin to singing "it's 'orrible being in love when you're eight and a half". It may seem like you're hard done by, but grown-ups have it worse. Anyway, since I started going to those simply divine garden parties at Lord Northy's country manor, I think the middle class are scum. Talking of Northy... >This really was a wasted mail wasn't it? No mail from you is wasted, Northy. Not when I can close my eyes and imagine your resonant baritone uttering every word. Miller wrote: >Don't worry about whether a film is French or not before including it >in your Top Ten French Films. No one else is worrying about it, Le >Pen would have a fit! With this in mind, here are my top ten French films. Obviously, I am doing this because I am "going for more cred points by recommending particularly cool/obscure" films "which are probably not much cop anyway, by the way", and not because I thought you might like to know, cos they're good. Actually, it's neither, I'm just bored, and tomorrow I'll remember a load of stuff I'd forgotten. 1 Gregory's girl 2 Time of the gypsies 3 400 blows 4 My life as a dog 5 Kitchen 6 Chungking express 7 The Tennant 8 Kes 9 Une femme est une femme 10 Mean streets Ian Turton wrote: >I have emailed Joss privatately on this. If I anyone else was >offended, I apologise. As I explained to Joss, the line is taken from >'The Day to Day', the spoof TV news program fronted (and partly >created) by Chris Morris (of Brasseye fame), and is spoken by a >minister appointed to oversee the execution of a female arsonist in >the Deep South. I'm not entirely happy with Joss' rejoinder, and >would have preferred a private email that didn't tend to make >me look like an apologist for women beaters in front of 500+ people If it's any help Ian, I recognised the quote from "The Day Today". I also recognised the title of Joss' rejoinder as being from the same programme. I think maybe you overreacted....ooh...just slightly. Does this mean you are no longer our lovin' uncle? I hope not. We all need some lovin'. And finally my favourite signature of the day: Peter Larsson wrote: >Peter Larsson > >Peter Larsson So good they named him twice. I snog you, Tag xxx PS 7 crushes?

Sinister: "Am not wearin' dead mans pants".

Like most things, it's just down to personal taste, not every band from Scotland can be good, some are great some are shite. Personally I think Mogwai and Arab Strap are brilliant on the whole, but thats just my opinion and thats all it is.

Katrina & David, I love you and want to have your children!!! News about the tickets has really made my day! now I've just ordered my London ticket from stargreen & that has really REALLY made my day! Whooo hoooo! Only another month and a half to go til the new album... ooh, I'm excited! Katrina (David?): will we be able to order copies of the new album through Jeepster? I ask since the London date is the same day the album is released, and knowing my luck I won't get the album from my local shops in time to listen to it before the gig... I saw B&S in Manchester last xmas, and even if these gigs are only half as good, it will be a totally magical experience. Folks, you've GOT to go along!
