Sinister: IRONIC SONG COLLABORATIONS
by Todd Beatty 21 Aug '98

21 Aug '98

Being that today is Friday, and that I try to be as consistent as possible in not doing any work, some friends and I started coming up with some IRONIC SONG COLLABORATIONS to whittle away the remainder of the work day. I thought you sinisterins might get a kick out of them, and perhaps even add a few ideas of your own. Enjoy, and do with it as you will: Echo and The Bunnymen and Ozzy Osbourne doing "Bark At The Killing Moon" The Smiths and Belle and Sebastian doing "The Boy With The Arab Strap In His Side" Pet Shop Boys and Blur doing "West End Girls and Boys" James and The Wannadies doing "How Was It For You and Me Song" The Smiths and The Beautiful South doing "Sweet and Tender Hooligans Don't Fall In Love" Babybird and Rialto doing "Hard Candygirl" Pulp and Depeche Mode doing "Common People Are People" The Dandy Warhols and Dead Kennedys doing "Every Day Should Be A Holiday In Cambodia" Weezer and Sultans of Ping performing "Undone: The Jumper Song" Garbage and Suede performing "Trash" The Culture Club and The Frank & Walters perforing "Red Gold and Green, Red Gold and Green Colours" Big Country and Blur performing "In a Big Country House" Michael Jackson and Jack performing "Biography of a Young Son" The Beatles and Adorable performing "Submarine (Yellow)" Madonna and The Bigger The God performing "Once Like A Virgin Before Shagging" Billy Joel and Snoop Doggy Dog performing "We didn't start the Riots" thankyou and good night, gaviston ______________________________________________________ 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".

Sinister: The custodians of the twelve days
by Melissa Leigh 21 Aug '98

21 Aug '98

"Yes! A vase!" It appreared as he painted it. Count Petofi thinks he has an embarassing amount of talent. His hair is in the shape of a cone and straw like. When he paints, they appear, all of them. "I find this creature fascinating, if you do not make me one I shall have to take this one" he said and then he fell on the floor and screamed as he faded but it was'nt him, it was the other guy Chris Jennings, the animal that walks like a man. You can live forever if you are a true artist and a true genius, is'nt that right, STRAW CONE?! ______________________________________________________ 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".

Sinister: if you don't know pyth, don't bother reading this
by Laurel Girvan 21 Aug '98

21 Aug '98

_oh my liddle chat kittens i'm so glad to be back. you all missed me horribly, i know, but you can get back to your business of living now. sadly, i am not back on chat yet, and that's what this post is really about. i'm getting "unable to connect to IRC server" every time i attempt it. can any of you wizards help me? i'm understandably loathe to ask the computer help desk, as i think they might have something to say about the installation of a toy-like-distraction. oh, did i mention that i have a job? just in case anyone hasn't been updated, i now live in new jersey and i work for real as an editorial assistant. 'ray for me! okay, this is getting totally irrelevant, and although i warned people off in the subject, i'd hate for honey to come down on me (ooh-er) for boring 450 people unnecessarily and contributing to the total systems crash of edinburrow uni.*sob* /me snuggles the whole list till you all gasp for air you know, it was very difficult to watch the list grow up without me. it's like going off to school and leaving behind a baby sister who is taller than you when you come home again. so i think sinister is now in her gawky adolescent stage, but i trust that she'll grow into a stunningly sassy and sexy young lady, just like honey. all of you footy-following snobs who may be tempted to unsub cause the list just isn't *informed* enough for you will miss out on her favors in the end. (except andy dean--he doesn't follow football) meanwhile, i trust we will be kept rolling in the aisles by our sarccy gurus: honey, lucy, tim bunnykins, and the rest. whoops, i gotta take care of a whole bunch of stuff that just appeared on my lil ol' desk. anyone with words of wisdom to offer concerning mirc. respond to me as fast as your little fingers allow. to the rest of yoos, kisseskisses. byebye melty ice cream cone bunnies with sticky whiskers xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: XFM.
by Mark Casarotto 21 Aug '98

Sarah wrote: XFM. Weren't they going to kill that? They should have done. You Londoners only need listen to RED ROSE GOLD, and you'll all become better people with teh greatest songs from the 60s 70s and 80s! Apart from when they have PNE playing Blackpool live and NOBODY CARES ABOUT FOOTBALL ON THE RADIO! WHY!?!?!?!?!? Anyway, I hate XFM, because all the *national* papers start a crusade for a LONDON station, which nobody else cares about and would have been jealous off, would it have been that is was any GOOD. Right. Forget the fact that I'm from London, forget the fact I like it here. I KNOW we are privileged to be, for better or for worse, viewed by the press and the marketing bods as a more profitable playing field than the rest of the country, and as a result get access to things that should be available to everyone, but aren't. But there are 8 million of us, and if you're a fledgling radio station with a low-output transmitter, it doesn't make any sense to put it in the middle of nowhere. We also have more disposable income than the rest of the country (in theory at least - that is, of course, after paying £100 a week on some grotty flat somewhere slightly too far from all the decent places to go) - and that's where the licence came up, after all. What do you expect? Although there are bound to be many people on the list who did have a chance to hear XFM and thought it was shit, there are also a number of us whose lives it revolutionised. I was woken up by "The Boy with the Arab Strap" yesterday (but that's enough of my personal life...), and I'm sure you can imagine what kind of spring in my step that gave me. I went to sleep every night with John Kennedy playing songs I'd never heard in the past but can't live without in the future. I am going to miss that show like crazy - it gave me everything I wanted, even if I was occasionally jolted out of my slumber by a random drill 'n bass track at 1 in the morning. I feel let down, distraught, pissed off with those at Capital who have lied and cheated their way towards monopolising commercial radio, and just really, really upset because something I loved has been taken away from me. I honestly wish you all had the chance to hear it - you might have thought it was shit too, but at least you couldn't make ridiculously ill-informed and pointlessly bitter comments like the one above. So there you go. I tried to unsubscribe and failed, which probably said more about me than I'd like, but I'm glad I'm still here.

Sinister: Sean Hughes/Radio One
by Rob Baker 21 Aug '98

21 Aug '98

Sean Hughes was completely right about the state of Radio One. It really is completely awful at the moment. Just american r&B lazy cover version rubbish and such like. I know M & L have been playin B & S but if there ever was an exception that proves the rule thats it. Chris Moyles is just the 90s equivilent of Dave Lee Travis but worse. _______________________________________________________________________________ Anyone read the Friday review in today's Guardian? Turns out Sean Hughes is a bit of a B&S fan. Not that it's something to be especially proud of, but then there's no such thing as bad publicity sometimes.

Sinister: It's so much better on etch-a-sketch
by Reid Dossinger 21 Aug '98

21 Aug '98

Brad wrote: > i now nominate honey as the funniest list member. > I second that. Although St. Lucy's letter had me rolling, too. One little flaw with Honey's letter's though...can ya guess? That's right, they were all about Belle and Sebastian. Wholly unrealistic. If no one minds (and someone will) I have a couple of favors to ask: 1) Could everyone please stop ending their letters with "Um...Belle and Sebastian content"? It makes it sound like it's something painful, like a fee. "Oh, I *would* write to 500 strangers about my love life, stress over school and make dumb "jokes" about not putting spaces in sentences, but...then I'd have to write something about B&S, so it's just not worth it." So here's my point: write about whatever you want, but don't make writing about Belle and Sebastian sound like some sort of chore. Please. Because there are those of us who could write volumes on the tiniest of B&S details, but don't out of respect for the people who prefer to stay awake. 2) Not that I'm going to have many fans after #1, but it's driving me slightly crazy that there are three unreleased B&S songs that I still haven't heard. These would be "...Middle Distance Runner", "Rhoda" and "Tigermilk". If anyone has these songs, I would gladly make some sort of trade. What can I offer besides the Kajagoogoo bootlegs? Um, an REM bootleg from before they were signed (it's incredible), several Grant Lee Buffalo bootlegs and I have access to a wide selection of American indie rock, heavy on the North Carolina music. Mail me privately if you would be so kind as to provide me with said gems. Thanks. At the risk of sounding like one of Paul's made-up posts, I heard three songs off the new one and I was ear-to-ear all day. They just keep getting better and better. I would go on and on about how perfect it is, but I'm all self-conscious now.
