Sinister: 80's tunes
by lickle sarah 07 Jul '98

07 Jul '98

Oh Jong just NO NO NO! The 80's had some MARVELLOUS music!!! I mean take the Lexicon of Love by ABC, it is sheer classic POP with some of the greatest lyrics and best thing written on an album sleeve ever : "a-z affectionately, 1-10 alphabetically, from here to eternity without inbetweens, still looking for a custom fit in an off the rack world? sales talk from sales assistants when all I want to do is lower your resistance. No rythm in cymbals no tempo in drums. Love's on arival she comes when she comes. Right on the target but wide of the LEXICON OF LOVE" Yes!! Tis fucking great. Get it, 50p from a charity shop or market stall NEAR YOU! Along with Parallel Lines by Blondie and the first Farm album which are ALWAYS THERE. And there are people far more qualified than me to talk about McCarthy and Felt and the Go-Betweens (who have already been siezed on) and lots of Popsters inbetween..... I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!!!!

Sinister: 17 years, 364 days...
by debbie 07 Jul '98

07 Jul '98

ok, so i went into Avalanche today in search of that Looper 7" and they said it wasn't out until the 27th. Buh? Can someone tell me whats going on? Is it a conspiracy and they're letting everyone else hear it except me? boo. pjmiller wrote: >Has Dave pulled? Is love in the air?

He obviously doesn't have any other clothes, poor lad. i, for one, will spend the whole weekend avoiding the cameras at T in the Park, as usual. but they always manage to get me. i was on it about five times last year, looking increasingly dreadful as the days went on. bah. but at least i will never be one of those twats wearing a big stupid hat, which is some consolation, tho not much. vicky wrote: >Has anyone heard the new Placebo track?

I've seen this one, featuring Traffic, The Spencer Davis Group and Incidental Dialogue, all wrapped up in a nice dayglo cover, like The Knack. If I had money coming out of my ears I'd buy them both, just for the covers. >I expect that maybe one person on the list will be interested to know that >when REM played at that Tibet thing recently, their replacement drummer was >a bloke called Joey Waronker. I don't know who you're talking about, Stephen, but I'm interested as well. And lemurs continue to float my boat in the most delightful way. As indeed did Didier Pironi, of the legendary Ligiers Gitanes team. I've never been so disappointed as when I found out Gitanes taste like shit. I've just been on the Belle and Sebastian hotline, and, after a quick vote, it has been narrowly decided that they do approve of Duke's perversity, whether connected to motor racing journalism or not. My top ten F1 drivers, off the top of my head, would be: Pironi, Fangio, Moss (Jon), Piquet (for that kicking incident)...erm...how many's that? Hockenheim, Davina Galica (for a bit of glamour), Arrows, Mister Derek form Basil Brush and Clarence Seedorf. Speaking of which...

I didn't really mean anyone in particular, and I wasn't just referring to the list, it's just that sometimes we all get kinda hung up on "knowledge" instead of just diggin' the sounds. That's all that matters, and it's beautiful, baby! Why should we get all tongue-tied if we don't know the title of every b-side and the names of the musicians? Let go, go with the flow.

The hep young sound of today's beat élite, direct from the soul kitchen and served, still blazing, to your table!" ... some UK listees might (also) remember Pat Fish as the host of the "Transmission" music show in the early Nineties. Besides, I'm in a long life search for the _In Bath Of Bacon_ CD, _A Scandal In Bohemia / Sex And Travel_ CD, _Distressed Gentlefolk_ CD, _Big Questions_ CD and _The Gift Of Music_ CD by The Jazz Butcher in case anyone wouldn't mind to part with them ... alternatively a swap with the original vinyl formats.

Sinister: Didier?
by Mark Casarotto 07 Jul '98

07 Jul '98

Is Didier the fish a homage to the late, great grand prix/power boat racer Didier Pironi? He was my all time hero as a little kid, even more than Gilles Villeneuve who he drove alongside. Or perhaps it's a reference to Didier Partouche, a one-time Going for Gold champion (must have been 1993, I think) with simply the greatest helmet-styled haircut going. And to think I was waiting for something relevant and sharp to say before my next posting. I would like to put forward the name Benefactors for the fish. I think it's got a lovely ring to it, and any ex-Warwick alumni will, at least, know what I'm talking about.

Not only does it feature Mr Stevie Winwood, and so is full of gritty wooden soul and all that Wellah business, but it's also from a film set in Swinging Stevenage, and reminds me of my innocent youth, before I was lured into the evil buckaroo den of Jasper, Tarquin and the rest of the metrosexuals... Ummm, I went to see Hefner on Saturday, for the last gig on their one-day, four-stop tour of London. They were pretty good. The singer has one of those classically bad indie voices, midway between Peters Shelley and Perrett. They had a song about Lee Remick, which wasn't a cover of The Go-Betweens, and another about a sexy librarian, which is always a good sign. The Lp is being pushed as a kind of Essex answer to B&S, but it's a little disappointing. I expect that maybe one person on the list will be interested to know that when REM played at that Tibet thing recently, their replacement drummer was a bloke called Joey Waronker. Finally a lemur update: lemur enthusiasts may be interested to know that last issue of the august organ, Poetry News, features one of the cute little fellas prominently on its cover, and will soon be visible at http://www.poetrysoc.com/news/b_news.htm Oh, and The Blue Soda Social returns this Friday... 7.30pm til late @ The Poetry Caff, £2 to get in, films, music and hi-jinx...

These sound fantastic, the titles are absolutely great. I've never heard the band, but with titles like "Friendly Man" and "When love is young" (these rival even Dylan in the Movies), not to forget "Me Fly's down" and "My Brother's Woody" I'm intrigued already, I'll have to hear this lot. Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
