Hi! not from me unfortunately, the below review's from a friend. just think some of you (esp Mr.Miller) might like to read. (hope Katrina and David don't mind me forwarding this to the list) and Cassell Professional Publishing wrote: > ..... It does mention Oon in the thank you bit on > the sleeve, though, which is cool. I presume it's the > same Oon. really? i do really hope it's me, otherwise i'll be rather upset...i don't want to share my name with anyone :) nice to see you back David! i like Keith's idea that everyone posts the tracklist for tape tree to the list. has anyone actually finished the tape? i'll try to finish it soon to make up for the distance. love, oon xxx Arthit Promprasit wrote: > > Don't know if anyone has reviewed the new LP of Belle And Sebastian here, > but I just got an advance tape with 14 tracks on and it is really amazing! > The tape here has a Virgin label on with the "non-definitive tracklisting, > pre-mastered" on the cover.

Well, I suppose people who would rather wait for the tapes to reach them could always delete the message without reading it. I do agree that it would be interesting to see which bands/songs appear most often across everyone's tapes, but I'm happy to find out the slow way.

Hmm, I can't understand where people have got the idea that I thought you'd tape over the original tape and then send it on... That would just be daft... I went back to the original mail too and looked at it, and can see no hint of a mention of taping over other peoples tapes. Strange. Oh and Rod (whose mail headers are as ever brimming with quality jokes) haven't you already got Bananarama's greatest hits. I can't remember much of "Nathan Jones" anyway, wasn't that latter period bananarama? Wasn't it a Motown song? And Kevan, I didn't particularly mean sending the track list to the list immediately. It could be done after the tapes have arrived, it was just out of interest to see what other people have put on the tapes - I'm sure it would be interesting.

Hang on a minute ! Keith maybe getting slightly confused with regards this tape tree but I don't think he's entirely stooopid. Surely by Jeeves should he have 627 tapes turn up on his doorstep still in nice sellaphane wrappers he'd be straight down the nearest market with pound signs in his eyes and a big cheesey grin on his face that read "Fuck you all".

I rather liked the idea of Keith getting the wrong end of the stick and recording over everybody else's tapes. How long would it have taken for people to have spotted what was happening? Perhaps we should just be done with it and have a Keith tree. I played IYFS to another flatmate the other day and he said the singer sounded like "how people must have sung in medieval times". Gregorian chant, anyone? I didn't mind this, but I did mind it when I put The Go Betweens' "16 Lovers Lane" on in a friend;s car and she said it sounded liek Deacon Blue. I think she meant it kindly. I don't know, perhaps Deacon Blue are great after all and I'm just a blinkered fool. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

I'm so happy, you wouldn't belive it!

Just wanted to tell you all that Sinister got rewiewed in Norways second largest daily newspaper today. It got 6 out of 6...! (You can read the rewiew here, if you understand norwegian: http://www.dagbladet.no/kultur/1998/07/21/125521.html So there will probably be about 1000 vikings signing on to the list in the next week or so.... Cheers, Stein Vegusdal Oslo, Norway PS! Anybody else from Norway, Sweden or Denmark going over for the UK gigs? There will at least be 5 or 6 of us from Oslo. (were going to Reading first, then to all three gigs..!) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: ...and the cars not bad either - come on!
by jossleag＠iol.ie 21 Jul '98

turt said: >She sure is purty. But she's gonna die like a dawg O for fuck's sake, crown this man... Does anyone else reckon that Curtis Mayfield has the finest voice ever known to man? I'm listening to that Impressions compilation on kent and it is truly the finest thing ever. No, really. Falsetto-tastic... O, and cheers for the one crush vote whoever you are. I may be an enemy in the class war, but I'm not too proud to accept charity. Or maybe it was a fateful typing error. What with my flatmate being a journo type I managed to junket my way to a wee listen thing to the new MSP lp. I thort it sounded like Boston. But I was pissed up on free plonk. And I won't hear talk of the Mogwai's after they used that slint song for their David Holmes remix. Awwww... I can't look at firewall with my poxy browser. Someone mail me brad's thing, please. It's a perfectly sane request. O, and another thing... There's this site, www.isis.ie/xfm, it's the pirate station I dj on. Anyways, on wednesday night they have a live audiovisual thing of my best friend Caroline's band and of the marvellous Joan of Arse, stars of Peel. And I'm on on thursday night, but you don't want to see that... (*recurrence of blush*) I'm off out to the pubb with my friend hairy pat. Isn't work at 8am poo? love joss ____________________________________________________________ Fin ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Little Lord Fauntleroy Begs Forgiveness
by PJMiller 21 Jul '98

21 Jul '98

>Thanks PJ for not leaving the rest of my email in, thereby saving me from >looking like a double posh bastard. Ish. 'Twas never my intention to make our Uncle Turt look like a posh bastard, we all know he's a chimney sweep. I looked up those definitions to see if it really is impossible to be an inverted snob and thought some of it was worth passing on to fellow word freaks and dictionary fetishists. No offense to posh bastards, snooty fuckers or dry, non-slimy snot producers anywhere. On a personal level, despite being one of the most working class people in the world, I am aware that I will disappear long before poshness is eradicated, so I tend to direct my energies elsewhere. I use the term "energies" loosely. Also, the term "snog" has cropped up a few times lately, and some of our overseas viewers might not know what it is. I just wrote loads of stuff about Curtis Mayfield and La Haine and then deleted it all. They both get 10/10. 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!
