Ok we are 4 or 5 people coming up from Göteborg on friday 25. So we think it would be nice meeting up somwhere before the gig. Do you live in Stockholm Becky? Maybe we can play football in Vasaparken, it's close to Studion. Or maybe meet up in a nice bar near Studion. Or maybe go to Kvarnen (even though its far from Studion) for a meal and a chat. They dont play loud music there and it got big tables where everyone can sit down in a proper way. By yhe way. Someone that can make me a copy of Tigermilk? In change you will have a nice tape of the best swedish popmusic there is. And whats that? Well you will find out when you get it... /Peter +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Good - you got there just before I got to you. We've had enough of this now please as there's some sour grapes around, so go away and tidy your bedrooms, tea's ready in a minute. And, can I say, massive great gold star and Magic Biro Set to someone FLUFFY who waited 10 seconds before she hit send, thought of Cliff Richard and decided to go off and do something more constructive than lash out. And boy, can she lash, you should have heard what she called Stuart David in chat this weekend :) /me gasps Martin C wrote: > As the list is becoming one year old today or tomorrow, I'm sure most > listees are busy knitting for Honeypaul and then sent me an aging but still quite perky Slav. I'm pretty sure the list birthday is 27th (see the archives) so that's um... THURSDAY! So start blowing those balloons up and digging into the Peters and Lee discographies. Finally my thanks to Christopher Leonard, that nice boy who bought me some flowers at the weekend. He rather blotted his copybook later by telling us all in the Sinister channel a dream he had about doing something appalling to God on a cloud, so he's likely to spend eternity in hell, which is a shame, but at least he'll do it with panache. Chris, thanks for the "spray", it was quite refreshing. honey xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

RE: Sinister: stupid stupid stupid
by Rob Baker 24 Aug '98

I agreed with you about John Peel. When you listen to his show he does still play some fantastic records. Salako recently for starters. For the last 6 months I have had, frankly, a huge honour being able to work with John Peel on a new C4 show called Sounds of the Suburbs. When you meet him he is all you imagined he would ever be. Anyway one day he asked me who was my favourite band and I nervously said 'Belle and Sebastian' I don't know why but I thought he would hate them (I remember a few months a go someone writing to his show saying that they were revising at the moment and could he play something 'mellow', and John practically shouted "WE DON'T DO MELLOW" and preceded to play Extreme Noise Terrror or the like. But he said he loved them and was really looking forward to their next album. Anyway all I was going to say it still is really worth listening to his show still. In between the hardcore techno and the experimental industrial abstraction are some vinyl gems. And here is a tip if you are in a band and want to get a track on to his show. His tape machine has broken in his car so he doesn't listen to many tapes anymore (he gets sent 20 - 30 a day. And if you call your band after a member of his family Floss, Pig, Thomas etc you will get a fast track delivery onto his playlist, I promise. But don't tell anybody I've said that. love Rob _______________________________________________________________________________ Well, in the cold light of day, my overly personal and nasty posting about Keith's letter seems stupid and shameful, so I'd like to apologise to Keith for being an arsehole. I'm still gutted about what's happened to my favourite radio station - this morning there was some geezer who quite obviously didn't want to be there, and to be honest I really didn't have the desire to listen. Still, Bob Geldof might prove to have the best taste in history, so there's still hope... I think Dirty Dream #2 should be released as a single - I've decided that B&S so deserve to be mega that I don't mind if success takes them further away from us - you always want what's best for those you love.

Sinister: Birthday present for Honey
by Martin Conneely 24 Aug '98

24 Aug '98

As the list is becoming one year old today or tomorrow, I'm sure most listees are busy knitting for Honeypaul. I reckoned I would get him a Yugoslavian supermodel (Linda has her newts). Naturallly, i checked out www.yugoslavia.supermodel but found that it's now called "former-Yugoslavia". Anyway, with all the confusion, instead of a supermodel from former-Yugoslavia, I got a former supermodel from Yugoslavia. Inessa is very nice and remembers watching the Archduke Ferdinand on the morning before that dreaful Mr Princip threw the bomb that started WWI. At 98, she experiences some difficulty going up and down stairs but, for a 98-year old, has a very good posture. Unfortunately, she is inclined to moan a little. But, after an hour of pushing and shoving, we've got her into the box. Hope you enjoy her, HoneyPaul. Happy Birthday list. Thanks for keeping the madness going.

Can I jump the gun somewhat and declare a list crush on the lovely Inessa. I'll carry her shopping anytime, as long she's got one of those tartan trollies ;-) I'm Smitten, I was strongly smote, I'm in Deep Smit, I have been smut. cal - and a very silly mood for a monday... what is *wrong* with me?

Sinister: Keith Watson
by Mark Casarotto 24 Aug '98

24 Aug '98

Keith wrote: "I don't care on the grounds that if XFM's idea of "Our Music" are bands like Snowpatrol then frankly they can keep them. I'd rather Fleetwood Mac than Jack at this juncture. Another "Indie failure" is a natural problem in that 99.9% of the music simply isn't good enough. It's definitely a good thing having people broadcast new music - I mean, I for one am all for the likes of John Peel playing anything and everything on his show. But frankly haven't been able to actually listen to his program since having to sit through a Terminal Cheesecake session in 1988. In any case, for the few years that XFM's been running, all I've really seen happening in the music scene in Britain is a great big thing called britpop when loads of bands from London copied loads of bands from the sixties... Grrreat. I haven't seen any great improvement in the scene at all. I'm afraid though that I'm just not of the opinion that if you get some bloke on the radio who'll play absolutely anyone - that they're some sort of a hero. You say Radio 1 won't be playing these bands before midnight, well they've certainly played plenty of Belle and Sebastian, and I can't say I really care about them not playing the other bands. Anyway again I'm not having a go - I just can't say I care about a radio station going down when it's a) shite (what I've heard of it) b) I don't get it anyway (like 50 million others) and c) has had no noticable positive effect on the "scene" at all. Thanks, Keith" I'm sorry, Keith, but writing such a negative piece and saying "I'm not having a go" doesn't make it inoffensive. Seb wrote a genuine and passionate letter about something that has been an innovative and positive thing in his life and the lives of many others - you, on the other hand, see fit to patronise us with a posting based on nothing but petty parochialism and ignorance. Don't you think that there might be some of us who have just a few more emotions about XFM, both good and bad, than you? Your letter also manages to contradict itself time and time again. "XFM has had no noticeable effect on the scene" - and yet is responsible for the proliferation of Britpop, a "great big thing", as you say? Your letter says nothing of any positive worth; pretty much every statement you make could be laughed out of town. "99.9% of the music...isn't good enough"? Then the amount of decent swingbeat and handbag house that we'll be getting on CapitalXFM is going to be less than negligible. Perhaps it's ironic that a good proportion of the music that's made me swoon over the last year or so has come from Scotland - but I wouldn't have heard any of it if it hadn't been for Keith Cameron, John Kennedy or Paul Anderson. Fundamentally, Keith, we don't care that you don't care - it's important to us because we DO. Drop us a line when you've thought of something constructive to say. And you've missed a hell of a lot on John Peel over the last decade.
