RE: Sinister: list crush (again)

Kristen - your going to need to be of the most incorruptible virtue to manage the list crush list. That's just the sort of top-secret computer file that could prove costly if it fell into the wrong hands....Bon Chance! As to the Album title - well it's all right. I can see that it will cause confusion with Arab Strap but then I think that in this focus group, niche marketed and segmented age a little confusion is probably a Good Thing. But I was reminded yesterday of some other listee's suggestion for the new album title - ages ago he/she suggested "Man About the House" which I thought was brilliant, though those of you not familiar with the TV show of the same name may wonder why. My list crush is with the list. It's like some giant compound eye of loveliness with all you people in it. When I was unsubscribed between jobs I missed the list as a whole not any person in particular. xx John > -----Original Message----- > From: Kayemess(a)aol.com [SMTP:Kayemess@aol.com] > Sent: 16 July 1998 17:13 > To: sinister(a)majordomo.net > Subject: Re: Sinister: list crush (again) > > > > I volunteer to make the list crush list.

Sinister: A Heartbeat Throb With Spy (anag)
by Hopkins, Tim 16 Jul '98

16 Jul '98

Apologies one and all for that previous fragment of a message, which was, as they say, a work in progress, and will only be of interest to historians of my oeuvre, who will find it an invaluable resource, by way of contrast to my usual polished postings. I meant what I said about Edward though. Anyroadup, on to more irrelevances. I have become most disturbed with the volumen of on-topic posts. People will be unsubscribing in their droves. So what follows is my attempt to redress the balance. As a result of my Duvel-drenched absence, I have some points to raise with you all. Please delete this message now if you do not wish to read irrelevant drivel. Carrick wrote... >And I wouldn't have bought you a pint of cider, seeing that most Americans in 1984 had no clue >that you could buy alcoholic cider at a bar. Still don't. No no, we'd have bought you one. Which might have given us more reason to laugh at you. Or not, depending on how good you are at stomaching liquid which tastes like rancid, thickened vinegar and looks like stomach pumpings. I, as it turns out, am actually rather good at it, and it has become something of a hobby of mine. Miller Lite, in his turn, said... >we went to Newton St Cyres. We might have seen a couple of cows and sheep and stuff and had >a pint of cyder. And those people you saw sniggering and pointing at you rudely were the locals, laughing at grockels trying to drink zzzyderrrr. Perhaps it was me? Although I only went to Newton St Cyres once, and that involved an ill-fated encounter with a pub called The Beer Engine. Least said soonest mended about that I think, although you should know that the evening involved a great deal of beer, 'Safety Net' by the Shop Assistants and 'Sad Kaleidoscope' by The Razorcuts. May I take this opportunity to say that I think that shoegazing is vile in all its forms, and that it is the antithesis of all that is P!O!P! Dull and studious music made by Serious Young Men is not for me, thank you very much. I hate shoegazing almost as much as I hate guitar solos. I'd rather listen to a set of bagpipes being inserted into a camel. Or a camel light. Nevertheless, I am not one to ignore a challenge. So, here are the four guitar solos which Keithyboy missed off his list: 7) 'Babysitters' by the Stupid Babies. Fast Records Scotland, 1980(?). Early Adamski. 8) Soundtrack to 'Hurlements En Faveur De Sade', film by Guy Debord, 1968 (?). As featured on 'Lipstick Traces' comppilation LP, Rough Trade, 1990 (?) 9) 'Fish From Tahiti' by Danny and The Dressmakers, Fck Off Records, 1981 (?). On the 'Weird Noise EP', which also involved former members of ATV and future members of World Domination Enterprises. 10) 'I Visualise' by Headtime (Cherry Red Records, 1991). This service has been provided to you by 'cool/obscure tunes which are probably not much cop anyway' incorporated. If you see these records in any shop, at any price, run away as quickly as you can. Apart from the Headtime one, of course. Now who wants to join a tape tree with me? There was loads of other stuff, but I've forgotten what it was. Be kind to the newts, Linda...it was probably a cry for help in my opinion... have they been watching too many of the Ingmar Bergman films which run for 24 hours a day round your house? Or what? You should perhaps re-name them 'Norman' and 'Hunter'. Bye bye Tim ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: list crush (again)
by Janine Papp 16 Jul '98

16 Jul '98

OK, someone should volunteer to gather a list of list crushes. Everyone e-mail their list crush(es) to one person, who will swear not to tell, then compile a top ten list of sinister crushees and post it. Volunteers, anyone? by the way, digest sinisterees don't usually reply to a subject cause then you'd have a reallllllly long part at the end.

Sinister: Mind games and Obsessions
by Sarah 16 Jul '98

16 Jul '98

Hello you gorgeous people! List crushes? I fancy Tim H!O!P!K!I!N!S! and of course, Mr Wirral 1998 - Gary... (he'd better still be on the list to read this you know...) Michele wrote.. (er if there is a big line above this when you read it I don't know why..) That's also the one where someone yells, "Judas" at him for going electric and he says, "I don't believe you... you're a liar, a fucking liar." Hehe! You have just reminded me of Great Pop Things where they actually tell us the TRUTH about that. He wasn't shouting BOO! JUDAS! He was actually shouting : "Boo! Do you know any Judas Priest?"... Ok, well I laughed at it... Look kids! Northy wrote this.... <<I agree, Feeder are shite but not so sure about the Manics.>> OK, you completely misread me, NORTHY! How oculd you even inply that I would think the Manics are Shite? Words fail me. And Feeder aren't that bad - out of all the wank my friends like Feeder are the best. And at least they are't being pretentious unlike them Smashed Pumpkins. <<What do Welsh bands have about selling out though?>> You'll know all about that, being a Catatonia fan.... :) And don't try to tell the Manics have sold out, this is the wrong place to argue... Looky here - good Welsh band still on Ankst i think : MELYS!!! I absolutely adore them. But for Acid Queen, make sure you have someone to hold your hand while you listen to it, as it is absolutely scary! For singles, buy Lemming - they had it in Preston HMV so going by the law of "If even shit Preston has it then everywhere will" - you will be able to find it. <<Anyone here like Frente?>> I heard one of their songs on late night Mark Radclife, *sighs* It brins back so much nostalgia. N.Z band aren't they? Not on Flying Nun...can't even remember the name of the song I like....but it was played after something else I wanted to tape....HORRIBLE! Thats what it's called, Horrible, I quite like that. I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!!!! Sarah ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
