Sinister: The biography thread...and just where is the needle??!! <g>
by KimbrJack＠aol.com 21 Aug '98

21 Aug '98

Hello Listeees!! First post...be gentle! A great bio/rock book in general is Diary of a Rock Star by Ian Hunter the lead singer of the seminal glam band Mott the Hoople. I believe it came out initally in '73 or'74 or thereabouts, then disappeared...It was a minor masterpiece!!! It was his detailing of the bands first US tour and is has all the drug/drink/hotel trashings type of excesses told in Ian's wicked brutal truth style.......Its funny, sad, revealing and it makes u feel as if u are sitting across from Ian as he tells u all this in some run down breakfast nook in Gary, Indiana........In a word, this book is the bomb!! Its been re-released in the UK I know, within the last yr Damn I wish we Yanks could get our grubby mits on it here!!! Love, Kim (last name soon to be Cole from Tonbridge, Kent!!..I say, "I Do!! Zak!!) Billings, Montana USA..... The only B&S fan for at least 1000 miles!!!! this place is a cultural wasteland! (i.e. cowboys dont know jack about indie music!!)

Honey celebrated my stalking abilities: > > By the way, Honey: i'm watching you. > With bloody great binoculars, I'll bet. I've never had a stalker > before, I quite like it. I stalked a girl at school once for awhile, until we got tired of that arrangement and decided to trade roles. Her boyfriend got a lot of amusement out of the whole stalking bit, but told me i wasn't allowed to kiss her if i caught her. I've never stalked someone on the other side of the ocean before, though. It presents all sorts of new challenges. Are there any sorts of rules about whether i can kiss the list moderator? He went on to say: > David also said: > > 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. I must admit though that one of the funniest Far Side cartoons i ever saw was a sketch out of that "History of the Far Side" book (the title escapes me) featuring an angry-looking Vikingish character with a muffin for a body that bore the caption "Attilla the Bun." Belle and Sebastian content, what?

Sinister: under a table in Soho
by Richard Hutt 20 Aug '98

20 Aug '98

>"Moon the Loon: The Amazing Rock'n'Roll Life of Keith Moon" > This was writen by Keith's personal assistant and the best thing about it by far is the glossary of terms/language in the back. I don't have it to hand, but remember it as a saucy rockstar version of that cockney rhyming slang book that everyone has in their toilets. With its aid, one can learn to speak Moon, circa '74. Also on the Who tip, Simon Napier Bell's "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?" Has some great bits about Kit Lambert and the Who in some orgy styled scenario.it's also the best book about pop ever - he wrote the title song (in ten minutes), and managed Marc Bolan, Wham, and the Yardbirds. There's a chapter on John's Children called "A Bunch of C**ts", where he invents psychedelia, mostly to drown out the incompetence of the band with a wall of noise. And a bit where he meets John Lennon under a table in Soho in 1965. Am I the only person actively avoiding blagging an advance copy of the elpee because I want the perverse thrill of being a pleb and going to buy it with my hard - earned? There's something so cheesy about advance copies, like being in a guestlist queue that's much longer than the real queue. That sneak peek into September was far too terrifying. I'm going to include it in every post between now and October, so's we can see if it comes true or not.

Sinister: My First Post (by Fisher Price)
by Phil Houghton 20 Aug '98

20 Aug '98

Hullo Sinister People I've been lurking around here menacingly for about a fortnight now, but I haven't sent in anything. That's because I haven't been reading that much. That's because I always think "this is my third Sinister digest today, I don't have TIME to read all these". But in fact, it would only be ten minutes a throw at most, and every time I do read through one, it seems to be full of fascinating people, none of whom seem to have been struck by 90s-media-homogenisation. It's wonderful. From now on I shall print off my Sinister digests in the morning and read them in my lunch hour at work. Anyhoo, a little about me: heard "The State I'm In" on Radcliffe way back when, and immediately sent off for Tigermilk (that is 400 quid just waiting to happen isn't it - just waiting for the day when I'm sufficiently strapped to want to flog it). When I bought "Sinister" it made me want to be bisexual. "Fox In The Snow" is probably my favourite B&S song, and other fey artists which I love, and I'm sure you would too, are Nick Drake and Michael Head (ex-Pale Fountains). Non-fey peeps that I like are Prince (when he was Prince), Van Morrison, Cocteau Twins, Kate Bush, REM and Ani DiFranco. My favourite book is still, rather tragically, Catcher In The Rye and my favourite film is The Fisher King. Fascinating stuff eh? Mmmmmmmmm, Sheffield has killed my mojo. -- Phil Houghton +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: pom-pom was a good bunny
by blink＠inexpress.net 20 Aug '98

20 Aug '98

Dear sweet sinister people, I don't know how someone can turn something as cute as 'pom-pom' into something naughty,but then i always thought arab strap,was a fashion belt. pom-pom was no dull bunny,she won 2nd prize at the rupert fair. (yes,the craggy island fair come to life!!) and no, there weren't 2 contestants if that's what you were thinking,she almost onw first prize too,damn newborn kitten,wins everyones sympathy. i had a horrific dream 2 nights ago about Belle and Sebastian... suddenly,i found myself 2 hours away from a belle and sebastian gig and i begged and begged and finally they let me go..i went off in such a crazy rush i didn't bother bringing anything with me! (not even a toothbrush,and i have a phobia about not brushing my teeth) anyways i get there..and there were so many people i couldn't even see anything..so i crawled through peoples feet and my way to a stage..and it was a reggae duo doing bad covers of belle and sebastian...i learned this was the place for bad people who weren't really fans,i kept looking for someone on sinister to prove i was a fan,but i couldn't find any and they kept sending me back to the reggae stage...i remember feeling the panic! so real...so...real fluffy cadarel..i haven't heard any of the album either! instead,i pass the time by walking peacefully by the river in a burlap sack talking to the squirrels,skipping stones and pondering life,i'll listen to lazy line painter jane again,and everything will be alright. list songs,list songs! what about that 'don't throw your garbage in my backyard,my backyard my backyard,don't throw your garbage in my backyear *angrily shake fist!* my backyards FULL!' love and sinister sweetness, genevieve last night i slept in my liverpool shirt..not that OTHER one. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Ohhh mon amour
by Honey 20 Aug '98

20 Aug '98

My secret lovers, First off, has anyone mentioned Tuesday night's frolics in Edinburgh? There was another "Je T'aime Gainsbourg" evening at the Jaffa Cake in Edinburgh (like the one at the Renfrew Ferry in Glasgow a while back, and one in 1862 or thereabouts I didnt go to), and the whole of B&S minus Chris and Loopy Stuart came along and entertained us with "Poupee de Son", sung by Isobel. It was a jolly old thing, and Stevie did "Lolita Go Home" on acoustic too, and some great Stevie (yikes) Wonder harmonica licks on a couple of other songs. Moi non plus. The "some other stuff" section: List list songs: erm... could someone volunteer to become list list song person please and... accept nominations. A few people tell me they're getting just a *teensy* bit tired of this thread, but as the rest of you are enjoying it (do you like Scrabble?), I nominate whoever started this thing to be the recipient of list songs and to mail them all back to the list in bigger chunks less frequently. Please? Besides Tim Hopkins nicked the best list song before I got there. FoxInASnow(a)aol.com wrote: > By the way, Honey: i'm watching you. With bloody great binoculars, I'll bet. I've never had a stalker before, I quite like it. David Moore asked: > BTW, HoneyPaul, why will that look like 100 times Australian dollars > or something? It's a 7-bit, 8-bit thang. Sorry but it does get a bit computery - you can't send some symbols like pound signs to the mailing list without them exploding via 7-bit email. Why some peoples quotes come out as small fishes I don't know - use " for quotes rather than the singular variety. David also said: > Also Hun, thanks for tidying up our digests. Gosh I do love it when people call me Honey. "Get dressed honey, we're late for dinner". "Honey, is dinner ready yet the boss is arriving in 20 minutes". David, it's a pleasure, if you all call me sweetie next month I'll make the digest 3-D and send it out with those special red and green glasses. I'm also chuffed that Matthew and dukey fancy me a bit, albeit in an unflattering outfit, and all I can say is, duke where was my list crush vote when it was needed?

Wow , 81 messages since yesterday. I haven't read them yet, coz I'm pissed and a little tired, but I really felt like a rant. Lothian and Borders police are cunts, I used to like the police , but after being assaulted in the street by one of them , for simply asking why they had closed off, part of the street near my home, they suck.They wouldn't tell me either. Marmaris kebabs are yummy. milk is nice too. belle and sebastian make my friend amy go all gooey. english people in edinburgh suck dick. love colin. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Ronan said: > Music biogs - does "Lost In Music" by Giles Smith count? Basically a pop > music "Fever Pitch", which I know everyone and their dog have copied, but > still a good read and a good laugh. Bloddy good. Yup, a classic. Do any listies have a copy of the first album by his band, the cleaners from venus? I will pay GOOD money for it! If you're in any doubt, let me tell you this: He finds himself at one point touring germany with the band while the singer/songwriter has gone off to do some gardening (so he has to impersonate his voice) The MD of his record company came to the last gig, shook his head and walked out, the album has sold about ten copies, his management are bankrupt, his bassist is about to be deported to japan, and to make things worse he's accidentally got on the wrong side of the berlin wall without his passport. Very funny. Only ignore his theories about pop music. They're pish. Anyway, anyway, anyway I've had some good news and some bad news today: The good news is that I got ABC in my A-Levels which means I've easily got into Southampton. I'm going out to celebrate. The bad news, as reported by the NME, is that the best live band ever - EVER - Gallon Drunk, have split. So I'll mourn while I'm celebrating.
