Sinister: Elliott Smith

OK, I must chime in here and say that while a lot of his songs are sad in that way, a lot of them aren't. Also, the best thing is going to his shows and playing "I saw Elliott smile" - he'll go a whole show with his eyes closed and no facial expressions and then someone will make a silly request and he'll laugh. He also covers John Lennon's "Jealous Guy," Big Star's "Thirteen," George Harrison's "Isn't It a Pity" etc. And some of his songs are so wonderful and I can't see how they'd be interpreted as anything but optimistic: say yes, between the bars, etc. Honestly, if you see him play I think your opinion may very well change. I just saw him the past two Wednesdays and he did totally different sets and was incredible both times. For those of you not into his solo acoustic kinda stuff, his new album XO (which is out in the states on Aug. 25, I don't know when it's out in England) has a different more Beatles-ish sound with lots of cool instrumentation. :) Rachel "I'm the queen of the castle when no one's around and I'll give you my number when my feet touch the ground" -- the weekend "well you can't get even but you can get mad and it's not funny no and it's not sad it's just a feeling that I've always had look out world I'm about to be bad" -- Kirsty MacColl, "Bad" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- my Mary Lou Lord page is at http://pages.nyu.edu/~rkb200/ To join the Mary Lou Lord mailing list, email Majordomo(a)smoe.org with ONLY "subscribe jinglejangle" OR "subscribe jinglejangle-digest" in the BODY.

Sinister: The Boy With That Thing Up His Bum
by PJMiller 25 Aug '98

25 Aug '98

Many happy returns of the day to Stuart Dougal Murdoch! Twenty-five today! I got tomato sauce all down my bus t-shirt. What a shocking calamity! Speaking of which, does XFM have advertising on it? If so, I suspect that might be the root cause of its sudden transformation into something more populist. XFM fans will just have to double their efforts to convert their chums to the evils of scruffy monkey rock and apply for another licence one day. Or start a pirate station, like people have to if they want to hear reggae or any other type of music excluded from the mainstream. I'm going to start a cod reggae station, playing such classics as D'yer Maker by Led Zep and that one by David Bowie. Fluffy, have you got somewhere to stay sorted out yet? I'm sick with worry here. Have you thought about getting your grandmother to play juke box jury in your room and send in the results to the list? It's just a thought. Do you do doo wop? I do doo wop. As of yesterday, when I bought The Moonglows and The Flamingos. I'm not entirely convinced yet. Not enough spunk. But they were on offer, so that's all right. Genevieve, you forgot to nominate the next poetry parrot handler, you naughty little minx.

Sinister: What would you save if the house was on fire ?
by Adam Robinson 25 Aug '98

25 Aug '98

Did any UK Sinisterines see the repeat of the tawdry docu-drama "Hotel" last night ? One sequence featured a fire alarm at the Fawlty-esque establishment. Amongst the queue of people fleeing for the exits in various states of disarrray, clutching whatever they could lay their hands on, was a balding, bespectacled gent carrying a large, moth-eaten, slightly rusty DOG ON WHEELS. I kid you not. What could it all mean ?

Sinister: blame it on the boogie
by Claire Timmins 25 Aug '98

25 Aug '98

BY the time you swear you're his, shivering and sighing and he swears his passion is, infinite, undying, Lady make a note of this, one of you is lying. He was lying, not me. I was sad and lonely and then I found the B&S mailing list. I was saved, so for my first posting I thank you all, well for the first three messages I have got. One question, is this a portishead/belle and Sebastian list. Cos all I've seen so far is discussion of portishead. lets talk about the sultry yet sweet tones of Stuart Murdoch and his cute dancing style. I have had the pleasure of viewing the boy boogie alone to 'love will tear us apart' and it did it for me. Amazing when I looked up a search for B&s related web pages a few months back there certainly wasn't the 17 million pages that appeared in front of me earlier. Wow, they've definately hit the big time now. hello all, heres to the good times, KA. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

I think it's one of Gilliam's finest, and the children are simply brilliant. Most impressive to me is the cinematagraphy, as with most of Mr. Gilliam's work. My favorite film featuring a child as a main character has got to be My Life as a Dog. A touching story about being removed from someplace comfortable and being placed someplace foreign....without your little dog. and kristin wrote: >am i the only one here not from the europe area???

I should be asleep...but i was awoken by a MIAOW! that was not familiar...i ran out,my father said 'go back to sleep you're dreaming' (I was dreaming,but not of that,i dreamt i met the Pope,what a nice man!) i investigated underneath the wood surroudning of the house,to find a scared little kitty and BEHIND her..a teeny weeny wee kitten! cats must know this is their sanctuary,you can bet your lil' honeybuns. so while i'm here... 'Alastair!' gasped the poetry parrot as it searched for the window, 'Sweet Espadrille! Next Monday!' it cried in anguish as it flew into the dark,unforgiving night. that's all,dear children xoxox genevieve +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

RE: Sinister: When The Cat's Away

speaking about that "kitty" movie, which i happened to enjoy so so much: i just loved madame renee's mustache and chloe's (that's her name, right?) two second vacation. and, it's kind of weird, my train of thought last night somehow managed to drift (no big surprise) to that one scene where she is in the bed with her gay roommate and she is trying to seduce him, and then i come into work this morning and you all are talking about the movie! i just thought it was one of those weird ESP moments which i often have. (i don't like to use the word karma, sorry.) like one night i told my friend to drive me home on the main road instead of all of the back roads because "it would be safer" and then two minutes later i see some man get hit and killed by a car. or like the one night where i was showing my one friend a little ditty that i wrote indirectly about some boy and then i look up and he's RIGHT THERE. yes, i have many more i could add. but for the sake of your sanity, i will not. you're welcome! hey, i start college in four days. I'm going for writing/journalism. and i was wondering if any of you journalist would send me some advice (i haven't scheduled yet). like what kind of classes i should take, what i should minor in, etc. if you would be so nice send them to: onionsprout(a)hotmail.com. no more important government job for me come friday. i folded t-shirts for the employee appreciation day for eight hours yesterday and watched every daytime tv show from 8-3. hey all you americans, look what your taxes are paying for! hey todd (boy) where are you? anyway, have a nice one, KIMberly "I wanted to say something, but I have nothing to say.
