Sinister: Pernice Brothers / V Twin
by Steve Genge 18 Jul '98

18 Jul '98

> oh yes, there's been quite a bit of talk about the pernice brothers over > the last few weeks. i spotted their new cd in a record shop the other day, > but wasn't really sure whether to get it, seeing as i haven't heard > anything by them. can anyone describe what they sound like, or who they > sound like, or just tell me something about them, as i'm in the mood for > something new... You really should buy it, as in the end of year polls of albums with Mustard colour sleeves it's bound to come top! Um what does it sound like? I'm hopeless at this sort of thing.....if you put 30 chimps in a room, 10 who liked the Tindersticks, 10 who liked B&S & the other 10 playing various string & wind instruments you end up with chimp poo everywhere but you might also end up with a sounmd not disimilar to the Pernice Bros altho don't think the vocals & like matey from the Tindersticks & his shooting stars club singer impressions! At some point soon you can marvel at what someone far more eloquent & cute than me has written about the album on my web page but at the moment that bit's not there. Check it out anyway, read about the exciting games you can play on buses etc. Ah yes V Twin, due to the fact I bought two copies of this rather fine single last week, our singles buyer at work obviously thought he'd spotted a trend & ordered shed loads more (technical music industry term) so if anyone I guess outside of the UK wants one featuring her from the Pastels & a certain Mr Geddes get in touch and we can sort out a trade.

Sinister: you can pin him and mount him like a butterfly
by debbie 18 Jul '98

morrissey and marr were both equally fantastic. the Smiths could never have happened without either of them. of course, that is obvious, but you know what i mean- when johnny left it all fell apart, loads of bands could have, and did, replace their band members, but it wouldn't have worked with the Smiths. besides, i doubt many other people could have put up with morrissey for so long, even though he is a honey. i was very disappointed with Electronic, though. I mean, if it were other people in the band, i would have been quite impressed, i suppose, but i would have expected more from two great talents such as bernard sumner and johnny marr. maybe i have too high expectations of the two, but from them average is no where near good enough. now, Bernard Butler, however, is absolutely amazing. He can do no wrong, in my eyes, and Suede are a bit pish without him. ha. besides, everyone knows that guitars are the sexiest things in the world. *and* he has a ROCK hairstyle to go with it. mmmmm. debbie x ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Im not going to respond to this as i know these wee discussions can get terribly boring for everyone else concerned. What i would say though, its sometimes nice to have a debate without resorting to personal abuse of the parties concerned eg some excuse for a human being. oh and by the way, i think travis are despicable too - AC Accoustics and Magoo are class though iain ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: bow down to the power of the axe!
by debbie 18 Jul '98

18 Jul '98

boo. i can't go to any of the gigs. there aren't any decent bands playing here. not that it would matter if there was, cus the last bus home to where i live is at about 10pm. grrrr. am trying to work out how to get to Dundee and back so i can see the Manic Street Cleaners. not much chance, though. i just got home from seeing 'Don't Look Back' (like dylan in the mmooooovieeees). it was v. good. and funny. hehehe. ok, so now i have a new challenge... now that everyone now knows that 'espadrille' is indeed a boy, we now have to guess what his real name is. I'll start; Andrew? Alasdair? Angus? Amadeus? Am i close? c'mon... debbie x ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Hello. I am new to the list, so I apologize if this is an inane question for you, but whatever happened to the "Modern Rock Song" EP that I heard about? Did it get scrapped entirely?

Sinister: go to the library NOW!
by jennifer 18 Jul '98

18 Jul '98

hello lovelies. the craziest thing happened the other day at work. let me give you some background information first: i work at the public library in Madison WI. i put books on shelves and take them off again. it's quite unfulfilling, but we get to listen to cds that the library owns, which to some might sound like a frightening prospect ("Cats" anyone? how about Celine Dion?)........but the other day was absolutely insane! There must be a very hip acquisitions librarian in the system, cause i open up a box, and what's lying on top, yes you guessed it....SINISTER!!!!! and it was on hold for some wonderful patron who i instantly wished to befriend. Not to mention that the same day we got the 6ths and Future Bible Heroes. Some librarian fancies Mr. Merritt. I'm not sure how i feel about this new development, though. i would hate to think of some horrible person checking out our lovely Belle and Sebastian at the library, taking it home, allowing his slobbery dog to romp all over the cd while it sits on a carpet littered with doritos (tm) and used tissues, and then not turning it in on time. Such violations cannot be tolerated. Off to register for library school, jennifer ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
