Sinister: XFM
by Sweet & Tender Hooligan 21 Aug '98

21 Aug '98

okey dokey I see there has been an X-fm thread Well I did think it was pretty funny that there were no DJs and they were playing NO old records NO interesting records NO obscure records and most importantly NO B&S album tracks just a boring indie playlist that is ultra obvious and insulting Eagle Eye Cherry? I listen to X-fm to NOT hear that damned record. OK, can somebody *please* email me privately (as I am not on the list) to tell me what is going on. Have the DJs gone on strike or something. I know one thing for sure now though. Listening to the radio without DJs makes it souless. Especially when some corporate money whore is behind the wheels of steel. Thanx for listening Northy ______________________________________________________ "If home life wasn't unsatisfactory, we'd never leave" the Breakfast Club - 1984 ________________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: I could be dreaming
by FoxInASnow＠aol.com 21 Aug '98

21 Aug '98

I *must* be dreaming, because in the mail today i not only got a letter telling me that i would not, as they previously told me, have to report for jury duty in early October (this after i wrote them a letter politely explaining that i am a poor starving college student who doesn't live in the area most of the year and would be terribly inconvenienced to have to report for jury duty during the school year)...but also my very very own (taped) copy of Tigermilk courtesy of the lovely Miss Erin, upon whom i bestow a million heartfelt thank-yous and a big happy kiss (on the cheek, children, i'm not the singer for any bands). I'm going to drop off of the list for a couple of days now to move into school, and the moment i have my email account there all set up i'll re- subscribe. Anyway, until then, beautiful listees, be good and don't get into discussions that are TOO exciting or i'll feel horribly left out when i come back. Don't think i'll stop watching you just because i'm off the list, Honey, Jess +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: The same as we do every day, Pinky, take over the world
by Lucy Munro 21 Aug '98

21 Aug '98

Further evidence of Sinister-style world domination attempts in this week's Melody Maker. Look at their playlist top ten (can't remember what the thing's titled) and see that beneath "The Boy With The Arab Strap" is a record titled simply "Honey". Need I say more? BTW, the new-style digests look *lovely*, and a shop in London's selling a promo tape of ABWTAS for three quid, oh, and Sean Hughes listed it amongst his current faves in his column in the Guardian today.

Sinister: Rambling
by David Moore 21 Aug '98

21 Aug '98

Bonsoir, Notre cherie amour, M. Paul de Miel, a recemment parle au sujet du Serge Gainsborough et le P!O!P francais des annees soixante: french speaking perverts on this list (how many in that sub-set, I wonder?) may enjoy a modern tune in the same vein, Mars Landing Party, the second track on the Placebo Pure Morning single. Stalker Jess wrote: "Also Hun, thanks for tidying up our digests. Gosh I do love it when people call me Honey. Actually, i think the term he used was "Hun," as in Attilla, i would imagine. I'm not sure how much of a term of endearment that is, to be honest." How do you spell the abbreviation for Honey? Hon doesn't look right to me. Perhaps he should be Hen instead, which a former Scots colleague used to address me as. I too think that the spoof September digest is frighteningly spot on: does HoneyBot/Cul de miel have a crystal ball? B & S content?: if I buy TBWTAS on the 7th of September and have to rush home to work and then to Shepherds Bush for the gig, how will I have time to listen to the new songs off the CD before I hear them live? Is this a good thing or not? Discuss.

by ahalter 21 Aug '98

well well well as i am sure that noone really remembers me i am not quite so sure as to why i am writing this hoopla announcing my return... the thing is that i am back in los angeles at last after working in a sweatshop in minneapolis this summer (which would be amusing if it werent true) and i once again have access to my belovd list... hoorah! i am horribly behind and out of date and shall have to stay that way for awhile because i am busy looking for a job and looking for a place to live and all of those other dreadfully important things that one must do in a semi new place... but i just wanted to say hullo to everyone and i am so very excited to be back and about the new album and my birthday which also happens to be on the 7th of semptember but i will remind everyone of this again when it gets a tiny bit closer... yay! i will read the archives soon = promise! love allison (with 2 l's from los angeles) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

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.
