Sinister: Jon G is an inspiration
by Mark Casarotto 10 Jul '98

10 Jul '98

Okay - my morning grogginess has been well and truly cast asunder (what does that actually mean?) and my brain is racing while I try to think of just the bestest eighties record for Jon to buy. Obviously I'll lose, as I wasn't really into music in the 80s (I was only 15 in '89, and then my life was saved by The Cowboy Junkies "Trinity Session" - in fact, that's a pretty darn good recommendation if it did come out before 1/1/90), which means that everything I recommend will be commercial pap or dead well known anyway. This fact is illustrated by the fact that the last record I bought, on Wednesday (and it was a record, unusually for me now that I've been seduced by the CD), was "Lovely" by the Primitives, which has the awesome "Stop Killing Me" and "Thru the Flowers" on it, not to mention the no. 5 in th'Hit Parade smash "Crash"! I was so into this in 1990, and I still love its Voice of the Beehive-inspiring P!O!P! (never used that before - there seem to be regulations governing its use, so I hope I got it right). I'll stop wittering now and email jon g privately with my more considered suggestions - but in the meantime, can I ask if anyone knows anything about an Antipodean combo called Look Blue Go Purple, whose fine, fine "Cactus Cat" single is my only link to them, and that's just on a compilation. Which reminds me, if there are people on this list who might appreciate what is really a very obvious record collection, I'm bang up for the compilation tape tree thing - How does side one of Helium, Stereolab, Kate Bush (natch), Colm, Huggy Bear, th'Faith Healers, Kenickie, Scott 4, Yo La Tengo and Sash! sound? Oh yes - and one more final thing. John Kennedy on XFM played religiously, about 2-3 months ago, an instrumental tune, about 8 minutes long, by someone I _think_ was called Skyway. It was very mellow, pretty obvious, but I really liked it. Can anyone enlighten me? A private email'd be cool. Ta! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

by Girl Racer 10 Jul '98

Sinister: 10 Roddington Place
by Keith Watson 10 Jul '98

10 Jul '98

>i too got my Looper singles this morning (one for me, one for the >duchess), handed to me as i stepped from the door on my way to school. >They sat safely in my filing cabinet all day until i just got home an >hour ago and i just played them (well i only played mine actually) and, >well, i really love it. It's strange, but the record really reminds me >of me, if that doesn't sound too conceited. It's like, well, it sounds >for all the world like a little segment of a Duke's Living Room set, This is a worrying development Duke, could it be possible that Stuart David perhaps went to your dining room in the early sixties and heard you doing it, perhaps taping it with his portable DAT player? I'd get on to your lawyers. >1) I was never, ever, *EVER* even the faintest bit cheeky to prefects, as > I recognised the fact that people two years older than me were *SO* > much more mature, and therefore well deserving in the ability to hand > out lines. Roddddney - you were a cheeky little bastard, as I said, you were very rude and you're very lucky we didn't give you a bogwash, or a wedgy or something. >There were about 20 people in a given tape-trading group. The only rules were >that you weren't allowed to put any TCS songs on the tape, Erin, first of all it's a bit worrying that you were scared until it felt "safe", I shouldn't worry about that, fire away, it's all a good laugh. In any case the taping idea is cool, we should do it - and remember folks - no Trash Can Sinatras songs on our tapes. Hehe only joking. I do think it's a good idea though. Paul, perhaps we should maintain on the web page a list of telephone numbers and addresses and stuff - I know you're busy at the moment but I'll help you knock it up if you like some time. Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: I'm going to get you, Dastoor
by Mark Casarotto 10 Jul '98

10 Jul '98

What's all this about me being a monster through and through? I'm gonna duff you up in breaktime, Dastoor - meet you at the lampost at the top of Primrose Hill, and come alone. Don't even think about bringing a few dozen fey pop fans with you, either - I know your tricks. Thinking about it, though, I actually DO scare small children for a living. That's put a whole new perspective on working in children's television. I've just noticed - when I view my mail, there's a little box marked TAG - presumably so that you can tick all the mails from our favourite itinerant journo chum and either go straight ot them or ignore them as is your wont. He doesn't half get around though, does he? Sorry about being so ubiquitous today, but my motivation was struggling at about midday, then a crepe and booze lunch, and now it's winding down time. I did get collared by the MD when I got back from lunch, though, so I expect my P45 to be trembling on the lip of the post box as we speak... I'm actually going to try and write something related to B&S. Every time I listen to XFM in bed, and a sweet song comes on that I don't know, I pray it's going to be Belle and Sebastian. It hasn't been yet, but as the man Kennedy has played several of their songs in the past, I'm sure he'll be as keen as I am to get them on air. Are we going to be indulging in a purchasing strategy to get our beloveds as high in the charts as possible? More importantly, what happens when they get to number one and Honey's back breaks under the strain of having another 100,000 listees? I'm not one to be cliquey, but we were here first, and I for one will defend our bunch of 500 to the death, I tell you, to the death!!! I think Judy and the dream of horses is my favourite song this week. Wht's yours? Biondetto ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: RE: jeepster-news: New Belle and Sebastian album - part 2
by Nicola4230＠aol.com 10 Jul '98

10 Jul '98

<<minor mistake in the first message and the obvious repercussions mean that you now get to see a hasty second message to try and clear things up. "21/10 - 04/11 West Coast USA + Canada gigs" this should have been EAST COAST and NOT west coast, it does still include canada though!>> Not too minor to those of us here on the West Coast!!! just kidding. No I'm not! :*( Is there *any* chance B&S will be making their way here to the West Coast this year? Or should I start booking my plane tickets now? This is kind of like what Pulp just did, paying only NY, Boston and DC. S'not fair!! not at all bitter, tara ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Picnics are for scaredies too

This is not at all true. Mark is a big show-off who frightens small children for a living. And don't believe any of that rubbish about him being 'sensitive underneath'. He's a monster through and through. I, however, am a genuinely pathetic social retard, who after woosing out of the previous two picnics managed to have great fun at the last one. So you all must come. I'll talk to you anyway. Nick xx _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Sinister: The Treehouse
by John Stuart/mail+schedule 10 Jul '98

Quick question. I've downloaded the sound clips from Stuart David's Treehouse, but Real Audio refuses to play them. Anybody else had this problem? How do I get round it? Okay, that was two questions!

Sinister: tape loop
by Kevan Cooke 10 Jul '98

10 Jul '98

Erin, you are a genius. Unless someone else has already volunteered before this message gets there I am quite happy to help get the tape rotation thing going. If everyone who is interested e-mails me directly to let me know then I can build up a list of e-mail addresses and post it to the list next week. All you would have to do is e-mail your postal address directly to the person above you in the list and wait for the tapes to come flooding in. If there is anyone (eg. Peter Miller) that you would take particular exception to giving your address to then let me know and I can take it into account ;) Let me know what country you are in and I will put together two or more lists if necessary - unless anyone out there is feeling particularly rich and doesn't mind paying for international postage every few weeks.
