Sinister: Texas never whispers
by Kayemess＠aol.com 16 Jul '98

16 Jul '98

Despite Morrissey's presence in our state, Texas is a perfect locale for B&S. Nowhere else will you find so many indier than thou kids who look exactly the same (dark plastic glasses, girls with short hair and/or short bangs, overpriced thrift clothing from Urban Outfitters, etc. etc.) In any case, Austin is home to many excellent vegetarian restaurants, good beer, and the world's best record store, 33 Degrees. Even Brad can attest to this. Someone should make a top ten worst cartoons list that includes Kissyfur, this really bad bear cub with a big nose. He has been haunting me lately. I have just prepared an elaborate breakfast for myself, as my family is out of town. We should have a big parents-out-of-town party at my house. Everyone can flirt and dance with their list crushes, and somebody can get in a fight and break a vase or something. Yeah. OK, so I'm meeting my REAL list crush, my main squeeze, the one I actually communicate with on a daily basis, but I have two other crushes!! Is this acceptable, or am I becoming a Sinister slut? Should I write to Seventeen magazine for advice? Should I announce my slew of crushes to the list? What to do? Shall I ask all of my list crushes to be my date at my party, then spend the evening trying to speak to all of them without giving away the fact that I have three dates?

Sinister: top ten belgian beers (not really)
by Hopkins, Tim 16 Jul '98

16 Jul '98

Well, I go away for five days, and what happens.... First of all may I extend the warmest of welcomes to the list to Mr Edward 'Placepot' Mason, king of the world and master of all he surveys? Now that he has joined me in these green pastures, all we are doing is waiting for Graham, I think. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: re:imp. public announcements
by David C. DelDebbio 16 Jul '98

Rolling on the floor with laughter, I wholeheartly agree but you can't forget SLOAN'S one chord to another" and "navy blues." Their record label also put out Richard Davies' last couple of albums... In addition to this tape tree, how would sinisterines feel about making B+S T-Shirts for trade? It could work the same way as the tape trade idea. :)dave:) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

'Does a handstand maybe'! God, i've been trying to figure that line out for ages! Thank-you, my good man, for that. Any chance of a complete lyric for that song, as it's quite tricky to make it out (well it is on my copy, anyway). And yes, i agree with you, it is a fabulous song, right from it's beatles-esque beginning through the wonderful slightly off beat tambourine playing, with that fantastically cheap sounding toys r us organ playing towards the end. sheer genius i say. it makes me think of campfires for some reason - i can picture them sitting around playing a cheap guitar and tambourine, singing along as night sets in, just before an impromptu rendition of 'he's got the whole world in his hands' or something... or maybe i'm only dreaming. actually, i'm rather partial to 'london has let me down' despite the fact that it sounds alarmingly like 'jingle bells' played on a crap £29.99 yamaha keyboard, with a choice of 49 exciting instruments (including wave, machine gun, telephone, you know the sort) i reckon they used the same keyboard for the drum machine in 'electronic renaissance'. just my tuppence worth... rob ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Pernice Brothers
by Scott Turner 16 Jul '98

16 Jul '98

Pernice Brothers: Overcome by Happiness -between B&S and tindersticks??? well, kinda, sortof, not really. I would have to say its more like a good mix of Gerald Collier and Elliot Smith, lots of minor chords and overtwanged fender telecasters, throw in some piano and rather weak, yet pretty vocals. The orchestration they use never really integrates into the songs essentially like say in the Tindersticks, but instead kind of fills space in the background. I mean I kind of dig it- and I have that type of stuff (Collier, Elliot Smith, etc.) in my cd player alot- its just i find myself never really getting hooked by it. just a humble opinion. .scott ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: shoegazing talk
by ANTONIO ZUQUETE 16 Jul '98

16 Jul '98

Hello everyone, Regarding the shoegazing subject ... I think that the M.B.V ep´s are much better than both albums. I have the same opinion about moose. Brilliant ep´s ( i won´t forget songs like "last night i fell again" or "jack"), crappy albums (ans not shoegazing at all, i must say). I like Chapterhouse though. Oh yes! In my humble opinion "pearl" is one of the most amazing songs of this decade. Slowdive are very nice also. Perfect to hear with your headphones on. Songs like "celia´s dream" and "waves" put you in a very delicate mood. By the way, do you think that Drop Nineteens are a shoegazing band? What a great album "delaware" is ! Currently in the "shoegazing field" my favourite bands are Rocketship ("a certain smile, a certain sadness" is a must), Lenola, Toulouse and Starflyer 59. Noise can be beautiful, Pedro Z ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Mi-iss - they're fighting
by Nick Dastoor 16 Jul '98

16 Jul '98

Enough of this listee-baiting nonsense (from me I mean). Does anyone know a nicer word to use than listee? Not Sinisterine. Maybe Honeydrone. I just don't understand anyone anymore. Again the fearful i-don't-much-like-that-electronic-renaissance view has reared its head. This is ever so upsetting as I love it to bits, especially the lines about working and dancing. I recall someone once saying that Stuart Murdoch wrote it to win some argument about how easy it was to write a dance track. I'm not sure whether I want this to be true or not. And then someone suggested that SM must have been drunk when he wrote "Hurley's Having Dreams" The cheek! No doubt he would class it as emabarrassing juvenilia now, but I think I like it best of all the Stow demos. Oh dear, it looks like I'm trying to score points on Peter Miller's B&S-snob-o-meter. Now she's eight months pregnant/In her dress she's so elegant Does a handstand maybe/No, it's not good for the baby...... Clip-clop clip-clop Hisssssss........ nick xx _____________________________________ Deep thought of the day: If aliens from outer space ever come and we show them our civilization and they make fun of it, we should say we were just kidding, that this isn't really our civilization, but a gag we hoped they would like.
