Sinister: shoegazing as such
by Erin Lewis 16 Jul '98

16 Jul '98

I'd always thought that Red House Painters (my true favorite band - B&S are tied for second or third) were considered in the shoegazing category. When I was living in Melbourne, a friend of mine said the purple club on Swanston St. (that I can't remember the name of) used to have "Shoegazer Night" every week, and they used to play lots of Slowdive, Red House Painters, Paradise Motel, Bedhead, and Space. And I know there's a band I'm totally forgetting that will kick me in the butt when I send this post... And completely off the subject (just to spice things up), "Kill Uncle" is my favorite Morrissey album. In fact, I have a "Kill Uncle" t-shirt! Bleccch! Oh yeah, I heard Belle and Sebastian were pretty good, too... -Erin ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Top 10 list of things for bored people to do: 1. Sit and stare at a wall 2. Write a 10 page thesis on the socio-political importance of word processors for your own personal pleasure. 3. Fidgit 4. Clean your room 5. Watch other people clean your room 6. Practice the tambourine 7. Trying to do a web search for Barry Manilow's email address 8. Discuss the weather 9. Listening to someone talk about the socio-political importance of wordprocessors and nodding because you can't think of anything to day dream. 10.

If they come in the winter, they can wear shorts outside coz it's too damned hot. 2. They can see an actual Red Neck that wasn't bred in captivity 3. If they stay out of East and West Texas, they won't have to see a red neck. 4. Morrissey wouldn't be caught dead here 5. I'll open for them! Me & my guitar. how about it? 6. The Houston Black metal festival was cancelled and metal heads everywhere are looking for a filler 7. Austin is full of beer and a few bars nice enough to almost pass as a pub. 8. Being Glawegians, they will be shocked to see the sunlight. 9. We don't have an underground subway that smells of urine. 10. We're one of the few cities in the US that know who they are because we're a bunch of pretentious "we don't listen to the mainstream" types. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Looper locations
by Suzanne Schroeder 16 Jul '98

16 Jul '98

Anyone in Austin, TX having problems finding Looper singles: Go to Sound Exchange on Guadalupe and 21st. I was surprised to find it there. *****disclaimer***** Sorry rest of the planet. Although I am a nice person, I'm not going to buy it for anyone and post it. I've been posting demos and been busy with other projects and really don't make it down to that store that much because it's a pain in the ass to find a place to park and walk there. I'll give you the address or # of the store, but that's it. I will give a review as soon as I buy a turntable! s.s. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

RE: Sinister: Completely off the subject

Someone with obvious good taste asks: > I heard a rumour that The Fall will be touring the states this summer. > Can anyone out there back this up? I would say that is only a rumour, but the new lineup ( mark and three ladies, perhaps in a robert palmer vein as someone suggested on a fall list ) does play at London WC2 LA2 on August 12. The bigger better rumour is the Inertia Tour, which features Buzzcocks, The Fall, Pere Ubu and perhaps several more bands. there is a website devoted to information on the US Inertia Tour, which i can't seem to locate right now - i recall it was going on in October, but none of it was really confirmed yet. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

-----Original Message----- From: BCapirigi(a)aol.com <BCapirigi(a)aol.com> >this might sound utterly daft, but can someone please explain to me what >shoegazers are? my music guide thingy lists, as Shoe Gazers: >blur maybe you could categorize "Sing" as shoegazerish.. >charlatans uk >happy mondays >inspiral carpets oh my...complete opposite of shoegazer in my book. baggy all the way!! the most perfect example of the ultimate shoegazer band, IMHO, is Slowdive. Some silly brit journalist did a live review of, I believe, Slowdive (correct me if I'm wrong, anyone) and commented on how when they played they were all constantly gazing at their shoes...so of course another one of those ever-so-handy labels was born.... xoxo-melissa. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: No Slow
by TFertig3＠aol.com 15 Jul '98

15 Jul '98

Reid wrote: I am one of those detractors. I believe I gave it a two. It's amazing how such a great song can sound so bad. Am I the only one who's bothered by how off-key ALL THREE of them are? The idea of doing is slow is good, and I love the end bit (where no one's singing), but they just didn't pull it off. Maybe with a little more practice, it can live up to it's potential. YES! I think I gave the slow version a 1. It is quite mediocre, off key, and I find myself getting a headache when I listen to it. I think that song has to naturally go fast. Just as a side note as long as we're criticizing, I don't much like "You Made Me Forget My Dreams." The only good part of that song is the little reward at the end when it suddenly gets funky. Any slow songs on the new album? Tami ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
