Sinister: Long Shot
by Jackson,John 15 Jul '98

15 Jul '98

Ho bet you all thought I was talking about Teenage Fanclub there, well no. I was wondering if anyone out there in cyberland knows of a website where I can find out info on THE JAGS, who had a lovely hit in the seventies with "I've got your number written on the back of my hand", or possibly it was just called "Written on the back of my hand" or even "Back of my hand". Maybe even just "Hand". But I digress, could you mail me privately rather than clog up the list please. On a lighter note, I had some lovely sausages for breakfast, I cooked them last night and they were smashing, cold, in pittabread. Last night when I went to bed I pulled a random tape from the tape drawer to listen to, it was a Kitchens Of Distinction album, no idea what it's called, it's the one with "Drive That Fast" on it. I'd forgotten I used to like the ol' Toilets of Destruction, anyone remember "The Third Time We Opened The Capsule" ? The bit after the 2nd chorus where the guitars go OOOOOOOOOWWWWWOWOWOWOOOWOWOWOWOWOWO and go all majestic and celestial (sonic catherdral TM) etc. I'm meeting my list crush (which one you all ask) at the airport tomorrow. My favourite song today is "Carolyn's Fingers" by the Cocteau Twins. Thanks Bye JJ xx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Patience my dear, I am sure that they are likely to crop up on the fruit of the Sinister tape tree... I have "Little Hide" and "100 things.." and whilst I find them most enjoyable, I will risk my neck on the Jeepster block and say they aren't really anything new/special like our beloveds.

Surely by Jeeves this list accommodates constructive criticism of B&S as well as singing their praises and Keiths top ten birdseed flavours. 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....I am now firmly swaying over to Tigermilk these days whereas before I was IYFS biggest fan. I better go now before I take up a whole digest. Adrian.x. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Mulberry > Is a mulberry properly a tree, or is it a bush? Maybe it's both? I've got a reasonably tall one next to my house, it hardly seems to be a bush as it has passed the porch roof and is now dropping berries on the car. But then again, there is the nursery rhyme, "All around the mulberry bush, the monkey chased the weasel. Twas all in fun, the mulberry said, P!O!P goes the weasel." Hard to say, hard to say... And, is it alright to mix deciduous trees with coniferous, or whatever, in the same listing? Would certainly make for a different list if you couldn't and might be cheating if you do. Is there something in the FAQ about this? I believe MickMcMick has things to share about whales... and perhaps the shocking things that one sees late at night on the Discovery Channel. But then, maybe he's gone shy, and best not to consider the actions of Andre out of the whale a trois context... And, nevermind the www.newt.fetish site. Best to forget that, no?

Sinister: the naughty cat
by PKHINTZ＠aol.com 15 Jul '98

15 Jul '98

As I walking into the office building where I pretend to work each day, I noticed that something seemed a bit "funny" about my bag. Try to imagine the horror I felt when I realized that my enamel Belle and Sebastian badge had disappeared. The only evidence that it existed was the tiny hole left from the pin on the badge. At my desk I searched through my bag in the slim hope that the badge had fallen from the outside flap to the inside pouch of my bag; not surprisingly it had not. (Though I did find the back to the badge.) I walked back to the car, with my eyes to the walk looking for that badge; I looked through the car--all to no avail! As a last resort I called home and asked my mother to search the house high and low for the badge and to beware if the vacuum made a "grrchugchug" sound as it swallowed the badge. Ah, but the badge was sitting on the table was I arrived home from work. Apparently Madeline the kitty had been sleeping on it all day when it had fallen onto a chair in the morning. When I interrogated her as to why she did it, she hinted that I would rather listen to B&S than to her mewing all day (and she is correct!) I knew cats were vengeful, but I never knew to what depths their anger could take them. This missing badge has come only two weeks after the dis- and re-appearance of my Tintin mug. Is there a pattern emerging? I can only wonder if Splat is the mastermind behind this plot, trying to sabotage Sinister so Honey will pay more attention to her.

Re: Sinister: Numbers Top Ten
by Kayemess＠aol.com 15 Jul '98

15 Jul '98

Though Rod believes googleplex should be ranked number 8 on the list of top ten numbers, I disagree. Googleplex is the world's greatest and most perfect number, and, thereby, it deserves to be ranked at number one. I was browsing about today when I found the Norman Records site. The first 7" I ever bought, (Grimace, grimace) Tristessa by the Smashing Pumpkins (wince, wince), on Sub Pop and pressed on black vinyl, was listed as being worth a whopping 39.99 British pounds. I think I paid about the equivalent of 2 pounds for it. Should I sell or wait for the value to increase? Or keep it, seeing as though it was my first ever 7"?

In a message dated 98-07-14 07:31:51 EDT, you write: > I'm a big fan of the electric recording of "I Don't Believe You" > live in Belfast on the Biograph album. It's a complete racket, I can see why > people were upset. Good stuff. Oh gosh, -- if you are talking the version where he says, after playing a bit, "This is called, 'I Don't Believe You.' It used to be like that, now it goes like this..." then, he stamps his foot, and the Band crashes in -- that was recorded in May of 1966, most probably in Manchester at the Free Trade Hall, altho' it has also been attributed to the Royal Albert Hall concert on May 26. 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." It's attributed to different shows on different recordings. Must have been a great tour, 1965 -1966, if the recordings are any indication at all. Course, you can see bits of it in "Don't Look Back." Sorry to be pedantic or whatever... they're just some of my favorite recordings. Next I'll be going on about... the meaning of F!O!L!K! --michele ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Re:Mojave 3 second album name
by keenan gauthier 15 Jul '98

Carrick said >Also on the discussion of Mojave 3, Slowdive's second >album, >which is named after either a greek delicacy, or a >line in >a porno a film, not sure which (in either case, I >forgot how to spell it) I don't know for sure what its named after, but I do have a theory. I don't know about other countries, but here in Canada at large outdoor events you can often find what me and my buds call souvlaki spacestations. These are little octagonal ufo-ish looking souvlaki stands which stand on little stilts. They really do look like little spaceships which have touched down from some other wonderful galaxy. Again, I don't know if this is what the album is named for, but its what I like to think. Also, has anyone else seen any versions of the Mojave 3 album where there is no three? A guy I work with ordered it a few months ago and it only said Mojave. Everything else was the same. Does anyone know why this might be? last note: I work in a music store and the booking date we have received for the new B & S is Sept. 8. I should also note that this much forward notice on an indie title is a little out of the ordinary out here. I think Matador has high hopes, as it should. == keenan gauthier _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Sinister: Snow Patrol album, Treehouse soundfiles
by Mick McMick 15 Jul '98

15 Jul '98

Ahoy there, Sinister Mateys, No, this isn't a pirate-themed message! I checked out the Jeepster page today. It looks quite swell. I checked the "news" section and noticed the tracklisting for Snow Patrol's album. One of the tracks was listed as "Velocity Girl." Might this be a cover of the C86 Primal Scream classic? I haven't even heard Snow Patrol yet (though I wanna ;) but that would certainly be a nod in their favor (or favour) and make me more likely to plop down the price of an import single to hear a band I've never heard before. On the subject of these soundfiles from Stuart David's Treehouse...well you see I have a 33.6 modem, but I'm home for the summer, and we have no phone outlet in my room. So instead of getting a new phone line here, my parents sensibly got me this doohickey which lets one utilize a phone line in another room through a wall electric socket. Neat, eh? Well it sounds neat but practically it's horriffic. It lets you connect, sure, but for modems the baud rate fluctuates between 4800 bps and (rarely) 9600. Anyway, as a result, when listening to RealAudio files from the web, I buffer for a few minutes, hear 10 seconds of Isobel's lovely voice, and then it ends abruptly, before buffering for several more minutes, then returning with 10 more seconds of the song where she left off, then repeating until about halfway through, where it finally just completely crashes. So...(boy I'm long-winded) is there a way to download the whole file, or must it be listened to live only? The same goes for the Looper files.
