Sinister: sniffle catchers
by lickle sarah 01 Jul '98

01 Jul '98

hello kids! i must be in a bad way today, i was in the lounge watching video of Flatliners that i taped ages ago due to never previously seeing how OBVIOUS it's imagery was, and i needed to sneeze. and the word for tissues would just get into my mind, so i stood up, and went aloud to myself, now where are those sniffle things, the sniffle catchers.... then i banged my head against the wall about what a pathetic human bean i am.... why you should care, god knows, but espadrille wanted postings and that is all i am insipred to write. I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!!!! Sarah ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

There's a book called Chariots of the Gods, which puts forward the theory that Earth was colonised by aliens. It's by an American, but I haven't read it, so I don't know whether it says anything about the Star of (Stuart) David. I'm not convinvced that this is the book you're looking for, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.

Sinister: Not Rick's big sister
by Michael Jones 01 Jul '98

01 Jul '98

Saw the oddest thing in WHSmith at Victoria station this morning. A man in a fairly advanced state of shabbiness and some months from his last bath, steadfastly refusing to budge from his position crouched in front of the music mags, flicking through 'The Wire' with what sounded like The Beach Boys blaring from his Walkman. Stencilled on the back of his filthy jacket was something like 'The Complete Godlike Genius And Beauty Of Virginia Astley', and his similarly soiled bag bore the legend, 'World's Biggest Virginia Astley Fan'. I think I've seen everything now. For younger readers, Ms Astley was a member of the Ravishing Beauties in the early 80s and had a brief solo career of gentle pop (I have a 1982 single, 'Love's A Lonely Place To Be') and the occasional collaboration (David Sylvian featured somewhere). I'm sure there's a Frazier Chorus connection - Kate St John, perhaps ? Do other London residents know of this man ? Is he famous ? Is his obsession with an obscure indie chanteuse of yesteryear a contributory factor in his apparent demise ? See what can happen when you get a little *too* keen ? Mike. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Sinister: a couple of things (female drummers, family trees)
by andrew dean 01 Jul '98

01 Jul '98

um, female drummers. the first thing i have to say is that, in my opinion, you're really wasting your time talking music to someone who hasn't heard of the velvet underground. but if you want famous female drummers then there's always karen carpenter... (btw, there's more to moe tucker than the drums - she's had numerous solo lps out. she's also not lou reed...) and as for family trees then stuart m and chris g helped out on the first arab strap peel session. oh, and the stuart m contribution to the polar bear thing that katrina mentioned last week is quite wonderful (and a bit rude!) in a mournful kind of way. i stumbled across a copy in the oxford st virgin megastore a few weeks ago. pick up the re-release if it's included. andy (you can stop reading this now, the stuff that follows is, as usual, way off topic) um, i go away for a week and come back to find about half a dozen interesting singles and lps have been released in the meantime. typical. new mogwai promises to be good, as always. did anyone tape last week's peel session or breezeblock performance btw? i'd like a copy... the other releases are all kinda techno (apart from HNIA and mojave 3) so i'm not even going to mention them here... oh, and the last arab strap video was on alternative nation last night on mtv (uk). it wasn't very good. alternative nation is probably the only watchable 2 hours that mtv produce in a week. not that i've really sat down and watched a lot of it but everytime i turn it on it's either will smith or that young blonde kid (aaron carter?). i guess it's only really reflected the rest of the world though, a world where 95% of the music produced just doesn't appeal to me. i met minnie mouse the other day. she's very short. david beckham, sheesh. == andrew dean (koogydelbbog(a)yahoo.com) _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Sinister: Kelvingrove Coca Exotica
by Mctaggart, Robert 01 Jul '98

01 Jul '98

Oh all right then, Seeing as how MILLER not only taking an unwholesome interest in Fatboy Tim's family, but also in my whereabouts and my lustrous hair, I'll come clean. Yes, I was at the Looper show on Friday, no, it wasn't me you could see, as I have a morbid fear of cameras. Paul never mentioned the poets. One of them looked like my Dad. The other one did a poem called "Kelvingrove Coca Exotica", and encouraged audience participation. Anne went to school with him. He wasn't very good, but he was clearly a man of considerable passion for his art. Keith should've been there, cos if the sun going down can make him cry, why should he not cry a river over a good poem. Looper were great. There was a female electronic Stephen Hawking voice (Stephanie Hawking?) introducing the songs. At the end the voice said "I hope you enjoyed the show, you sick motherfuckers". And everyone laughed. And then laughed some more. Then I went dancing at Uptight where a strange man in a "Little Prince" t-shirt offered me his contact lenses. I would tell you about the rest of the weekend, but I've vowed to keep in-jokes to a minimum. Someone was talking about Frazier Chorus. "Sloppy Heart", their 4AD single was a swoonsome atmospheric little number about getting a woody on the train. I seem to remember the sleeve notes talking about "inadequate trousers", which is possibly libellous. The rest of their stuff was tasteful and polite and "nice" but never really hit those heights. I saw them once. One of the horn section eyed me up throughout the show. And yes, it was Espiritu that Chris joined. But Vanessa, the half French-half, Venezuelan singer did all the work so he left. I saw them once. I eyed Vanessa up throughout the show. The first few singles (including the mighty "Los Americanos" and "Francisca") were awesome, bip-bopping, Latin-tingled choonz. Then they went a bit crap, although Vanessa made a drum n'bass record with Saint Etienne, but it never came out. I must apologise for being so informative, I promise not to let it happen again. Is it too late to declare my love for Michael Owen? Love, Tag xxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
