I'm sorry but is it just me that thinks that the new Manics single is utter, utter, utter shite. I mean if that is a single, what must the album be like? Are you serious about the poetry Nick? I'll pay big (small) cash for them if this is true but I bet it's not! Dammit, Stargreen are not answering!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sinister: Nick, "Das Toor!", sagt die Englischin

> Nick Dastoor - it wasn't me who crushed on you. There IS someone out > there who will love you! My feelings are not the kind you have to > proclaim to others - I don't want to be arrested, for a start. Well he made me Tigermilk tape so I guess a little love from me ought to go his way. Although not too much...... This really was a wasted mail wasn't it? Fuck, I haven't got a credit card or a willing Mum and Dad. I have two choices to get tickets. Wait the agonising wait for a cheque order or go up to London to get 'em......does anyone even care? Anyone recommend a decent Smiths story book as I really wanna know how they split and formed and stuff? anyway bye Northy ______________________________________________________ "If home life wasn't unsatisfactory, we'd never leave" the Breakfast Club - 1984 ________________________________________________________ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Its the book that before it even came out, Morrissey said "Personally, I hope Johnny Rogan ends his days very soon in an M3 pile-up", and is really in-depth; i mean, it begins with Morrissey's grandparents in Ireland at the turn of the century for goodness sake... debbie x ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: A warning and a crush
by Euan Leitch 20 Jul '98

20 Jul '98

Hello Sinisterades The Beta Band may be ace Keith, but I trollied all the way to Glasgow, and waited over an hour to be told that the lead singer was too ill to appear. I would've put up with an instrumental interlude but the good natured crowd just wafted away. No riot at the Cathouse. So check before you go on Tuesday night that he's been taking the medicine. Not having heard the Looper release I could only read the Blairite diatribe in ignorance, with perhaps a thought of _over-reaction_. But having heard it now I agree that the breakbeats didn't work. But I've also been thinking (ooh really!) that whenever i hear new music I'm hoping for that same feeling that I got when I first heard The State That I Am In, and so I'm always a little disappointed. that's why my lovelife sucks too. I'm always wanting that feeling I had over Sarah Thoms 10 years ago. As to List crushes... well mine is with someone who I sat in the dark with on Saturday afternoon, although I didn't know they were there, and I was wearing my B&S badge on my sleeve. They recently underwent a seemless sex change too, in front of all of us. I'm feeling like a stalker. Ue ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

(sp?) I was sat in a really nasty pub in Croydon, one New Years Eve, surrounded by knuckle dragging trendies and casuals, feeling very fey and very scared indeed. And then, one of them started talking about La Haine, and very quickly, we started talking. They turned out to be really good mates, thus proving: 1 Class does not affect your understanding of art (as some people seem to think) and 2 Subtitles are no barrier to enjoying a fucking good film.

Am I going to find a huge caccoon in the living room growing my replicant to replace me so I will be on "their" side? Damn. I'm not sleeping tonight, then. It's not a lyrical thing. I rarely listen to a song because the lyrics say anything to me. I go for the sound first off. I rarely hate songs from the first, too. I'm just sort of mediocre state most of the time, and sometimes it hooks me right from the split second like B&S. The Semisonic song and Matchbox 20 pissed me off from the start, and let me tell you something......I only claim that once every 2 years, and its weird that I have 3 songs that are on my search and destroy list in such a short period of time. > Lenny Kravitz, initial exposure not withstanding, can just fucking die. > Seriously. I will kick him in the nuts. My top 10 list of artists who should give it up and go home: 1. Boyzone 2. Rod Stewart 3. Bryan Adams 4. Sting 5. goo Goo Dolls 6. Bon Jovi 7. Matchbox 20 8. Any band who has appeared on the Jenny Jones show 9. Ace of Base 10. Verve Pipe Top 10 bands people delude themselves into thinking they have a chance of reforming or recapturing the old days: 1. The smiths 2. The Beatles 3. Rolling Stones 4. Van Halen with David Lee Roth 5. The Eagles 6. Culture Club 7. Lou Reed and Velver Underground 8. Stone Roses 9. Bob Dylan 10. Simply Red (only bottom of the list because Mike Hucknall is the only person who cared). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

is this the David that used to be 'Ruth McCurry'? Just wondered. If it is, hello! i thought you had unsubscribed or something... the songs on that tape were beautiful, by the way... if it isn't the same david then you'll not have a clue what i'm talking about, but hello anyway. if i could answer some of those questions i would, but i can't so i wont... love, debbie (aka 'Alan Prior') ---------- > From: Cassell Professional Publishing <d.barker(a)cassell-prof.co.uk> > To: Sinister <sinister(a)majordomo.net> > Subject: Sinister: Blueboy > Date: 20 July 1998 18:10 > > > Has anyone seen the review of the new Blueboy album in Mojo?
