Sinister: Re; Cattiness
by MWaggner＠aol.com 15 Jul '98

15 Jul '98

Boys! Play nice!! As someone who posts drivel that no one is interested in, I always hope people will make judicious use of their DELETE keys and not think poorly of me in the end... Quite frankly tho', I am sometimes really afraid to post as someone might reply in this manner to ME! -- and my fragile self-esteem will be shattered into tiny bits and I will have to unsubscribe and then never be able to listen to B&S again and have to play, gosh -- Aerosmith or, or... well something as horrible as that (sorry any Aerosmith fans that might be lurking out there...) This is a great list -- people make friends and some have found good friends and even crushes -- it's like a family sometimes, and the sibling rivalry is inevitable sometimes I guess. I'll play "mum" and remind everyone to mind their manners send a nice thank you note off to Honey for giving us all such a nice gift and maintaining it so well. I will refrain from suggesting we be happy bunnies... and newts seem to be out of the question as they tend to bite as well... Well, lets just play nice on the schoolyard and keep our cattiness and boredom to ourselves. God knows we're all twits from time to time. --michele ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Bits and bobs
by DMC 15 Jul '98

15 Jul '98

Top ten shapes: 1. A square 2. A triangle 3. A circle 4= A rectangle 4= A Hexagan 5. A pentagon 6. Erm... 7. Erm.... 8. An octagon? 9. This is silly 10. Isn't it? Keep up the top ten's. It's a bit like reading the News Of the World! Not that I'd ever admit to having read it or ever having looked at those bloody 'Populist' things. Good to see The Wedding Present mentioned on the list at last. Take Me, the song on Bizzarro does go on forever and is vaguely exciting, but I reckon some of the licks on songs like Dalliance are better! Talking of which, the Cinerama song is fantastic.

Sinister: B&S crap songs
by Mark Casarotto 15 Jul '98

15 Jul '98

Adrian, One big reason why I didn't want to discuss the less then perfect oeuvre of B&S is because people will immediately leap to the defense of their faves, which is bad enough when you try to have a conversation about it - on the list it could take months, and cost thousands of lives. Having said that, Me and the Major is great, especially the "Snow is falling" bit - and the rest of it, actually. So ner.

You figure you can tell other people what to write and what not to write, tell them to talk about it privately and then send that mail to the list - and at the end of the mail ask that they reply privately to the bloke. That seems slightly over the top if you ask me. Since when did you decide who posts what to the list? There are 500 people on this list and not everyone's interested in all the posts, but some people are interested in some posts. If things get out of hand Paul mentions it and in any case, they usually run their course. No-one's posted to you to tell you that you ought to post something more interesting have they? This list is supposed to be for everyone, not just things any one individual might find to be interesting. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Top ten reasons why Adrian speaks with a forked tongue
by Nick Dastoor 15 Jul '98

15 Jul '98

Adrian barked: >I for one think "Me & the Major" (sorry if it's wrong song-title..too >much cyder does the memory banks no good at all) is totally >uninspired...it's just there, and drags IYFS down. This is rubbish and I shall explain why, in the popular top ten format. I considered doing it as a Socratic dialogue, but it just seemed too much work for a brain trained on flabby boy's anal obsessions. 1. It involves a character who is not a schoolgirl. Schoolgirls are great but people will start talking if *every* song I listen to involves them. 2. The "Because the snow is falling falling falling" coda is the most heart-wrenchingly romantic since... something else really good 3. It's a clever reworking of the "Ballard of the Thin Man" for the younger generation who grew up fast. Possibly. 4. The friend of someone on the list friend thought it he was singing about "Me and the Midget", which made the "don't see eye-to-eye on it" line impossibly wonderful. 5. It storms in and kicks bugle ass after the gay boy foppery of "Seeing Other People". 6. It is possibly the fastest tempo song that has the capacity to make me openly weep. Oh no, I'm confusing it with 2-Unlimited's "No Limit" again, aren't I? 7. The line about rememerbering Roxy Music in '72 reminds me of an ex-army neighbour of mine who had a collection of 70's rock albums in his basement that I helped him sell at a car boot sale. 8. The way the song unites the Major, Stuart Murdoch and *us* in a vague sense of having having been left behind somewhere along the line. Apologies for the new seriousness (TM) suddenly injected into this reason. Feel free to tell me I've totally missed the point or should restrict myself to talking about the best newt drum solo ever. That's only eight, but taking espadrille's complainta of number basism on board, there's no reason to go on. And I think eight suits majors. Either eight or five. It always seems inappropriate that it's track number three. nick xxx _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Sinister: Top Tens
by Mark Casarotto 15 Jul '98

15 Jul '98

My Top top ten: 1. Gaz Top 2. "Top o' the mornin'" 3. Topiary 4. Big Top 5. Top Hole 6. Top (dodgy baggy chancers) 7. "sTop (the love you save)" - Madder Rose version 8. Tops and fingers (sorry) 9. Top Man 10. The word Top has suddenly ceased to have any meaning for me, which deserves an entry in itself. Is the joke dead yet? If anyone in the world can say Ultrasound are worth looking at, then they're wrong. You know really sad, unstylish people who radiate grimness? That's Tiny. Not his weight (hardly something worth showing off either), but his foul face, and dreadful clothes. Eurgh. Uncharacteristically, I have to do something quite urgent, so I'd better go. Rory, thanks for helping along my reputation as the list's psycho - now all you have to do is marry my sister or your behavior will bring shame upon the family. You shoulda thought more carefully before buying her a kebab, my friend - in Sicily that is a proposal of matrimony. Rory - my brother in law - I look after you, maybe a job in the family business, eh? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Top Tens Rule
by Barrett R 15 Jul '98

15 Jul '98

Hello all I know that this was about 5 Top Tens ago, but the guitar solo on Big Star's "September Gurls" is awesome. I would also like to fourth/fifth/whatever the recommendations for the Pernice Brothers album. The Woody Guthrie thing that Billy Bragg and Wilco have done is really good as well. Does anyone out there know much about Jim White? He played in Dublin last week and he was both sublime (when his drum machine wasn't in use) and ridiculous ( when the drum machine was on, thereby drowning his lovely country tunes out) in equal measures. His album "Wrong Eyed Jesus" is one of the best things I've heard in ages though, and yet he doesn't seem to get much press on this side of the ocean. Was anyone else really jealous of all those parties in France over the last couple of days? I was over there at that sports event which shall remain unmentioned (I'm already on a yellow card from Honey over the nationalism thing, I think) a couple of weeks back and I was delighted for them as the whole nation failed to live up to their stereotype by being dead friendly the entire time. Although Ronaldo must have been really ill to let Frank LeBouef mark him out of the game. Ronan PS Loved the Gregorian Chant Top Ten! All classics, no doubt. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
