Sinister: Nick Drake
by Neil Dewhurst 20 Aug '98

Nic Wrote... I've only got Way to Blue (Sell out best of introduction to..) by Nick Drake and I love it. Which one should I get next then? I gather there are 3 proper albums. So should I plump for 1 or just get them all? Anyone know if the box-set thing with all of them and an extra cd is still available anywhere? cheers The box-set is all over the place, and will set you back around £40 for the four CDs. There is also a tribute album, which I don't have, and a tape of home recordings, which I do, but not the best quality. If you want any info, try this site... http://www3.hb.se/kursinfo/studdocs/stefan/nick.htm <http://www3.hb.se/kursinfo/studdocs/stefan/nick.htm> . There is, if it still exists, a fanzine run by a guy called Jason Creed, whose detailsI don't have right now, but above all, buy the biography. It's the best I've read, although it is only the second I've read.

Sinister: sinister-undigest 11/09/98
by Honey 20 Aug '98

20 Aug '98

As everyone knows, I actually write all the emails to this list myself, and people like Timothy Pookins are actually figments of my vivid honey sexual imagination. So just to help you all out, as some of you will be a bit tired after the gigs, I've done all the mails for early September early so you don't have to rush off and read them then. September 6th: "I've just got a copy of The Boy With The Wonky Lap from an old man with sick on his coat at Kings Cross, it's WONDERFUL, I cried all the way home and then ate a whole packet of Maltesers in one sitting, and then I saw a sparrow -- squiffytoes XXX" September 7th: "Yaaaaay Ive got my copy, I'm in heaven, I love Stuart, I'm going to write him a big thankyou note and send him a list of all our list songs on the list that I've listed, he'll really like that, won't he? P.S I especially like the glockenspiel on Seymour Stain -- fancypants" "I've been banging on the counter at HMV for 3 hours, telling them I've got to have a copy of Wonky Lap and then I found I'd only brought 23p with me it's not FAIR, fascists, why does everyone hate me, can someone do me a tape please, as swaps I can offer a complete set of Kajagoogoo bootlegs from the fabulous "Eat More Cheese" tour of 1983. -- MrKJ" "It's not a glockenspiel you idiot, we've all been listening to it for 6 months now, what's the big deal, it's a xylophone, I wish people would check things out before they post -- Timothy Tantric Tantrum" "Well it sounds like a glockenspiel to me... sorry I just thought, sorry sorry... -- fancypants" September 8th: "Whoooo I've just bought TBWTWL on CD, vinyl and etch-a-sketch format, it's GREATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT, and I'm sure I saw Mick Cooke in Habitat in Leicester, he had the false nose and everything P.S. I haven't read the digests yet, I'm too excited, but my favourite track is the one with the glockenspiel -- CakeFace" "Isn't delaying the release of the LP in the US a day so that the UK can get ahead just typical of a massive conglomerate like Jeepster, oh well I have the LP now, but I don't think it's as good as the demo tape I've had all along, recorded in a cellar in Austria, I just don't think this LP anything like as good, I'm sorry I know it's against the spirit of this list but I have to say it, corporations suck, printed word destroys, rage kill smash, oh shit my toast is burning -- monsterX" "God I'm leaving this list, it's complete nails, people just don't care anymore, it's a xylophone, what happened to the Dunkirk spirit, we've all been listening to Wonky Lap since 1982 when we met Chris at the Ideal Home Exhibition and he gave us a tape, what's the big deal anyway -- Timothy" "Wonky is FAB I love the cover, where did they get that picture of Leonard Rossiter from, I like tracks 8,6,2,1,5,6,8,3,8,7 and 8 best, does anyone think the line about herring in Smutty Dream #2 is a bit weak? -- wishingwell XoX" September 9th: "How dare you slag off the LP, so-called fan wishing so-called well, I think it's ALL great, I sent you a tape of Tigermilk and everything, and you never gave me money back for the stamp, well I think the new LP is fantastic it ROCKS in spite of what others are saying -- BigPea" "Well I agree with wishingwell, and can I say, ACTUALLY, that I don't think, ACTUALLY, that the new LP is as good as everyone is saying, god you're all so immature, I KNEW it wouldn't be, I KNEW you wouldn't admit it, I KNEW it all but I didn't want to post and show off -- acrossmybody" "HI! I'VE JUST JOINED THE EMAILING LIST BECAUSE I BOUGHT THE BOY WITH THE WONKY LAP. IT'S REALLY GREAT CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF BILL AND SEBASTIAN HAVE DONE ANYTHING ELSE, WASN'T IT A CARTOON, WHEN ARE THEY TOURING, WHO IS STUART, HOW DO I UNSUBSCRIBE -- CLEMENCE" September 10th: "I'd look in the archives but I'm too pissed, so could someone tell me what the instrument is on Seymour Stain, I'm sure it's a glockenspiel -- CoOol" "UNSUBSCRIBE CLEMENCE" "It's a fucking xylophone, a x-y-l-o-p-h-o-n-e, I knew you'd all make a fuss over this LP, it's not that great, I'd say a big disappointment actually although I didn't want to say it before, I agree with monsterX, I knew loads of new people would join this list and wreck it. -- Timothy" "UNSUBSCROBE SINISTER" "UNSUBSCRIBE SINISTER" "Piss off Wonky Lap is great, I like the song about herring best -- ppp" September 11th "I hate this list, I'm leaving, you're all so ignorant -- Timothy" "I hate this list, I'm leaving, you're all so pompous -- fancypants" "LEAVE SINISTER CLEMENCE QUIT UNSUBSCRIBE ALL ^C" +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: lists songs from listees
by Simpson, Claire E 20 Aug '98

* firstly a new Claire has appeared confusing me ever so slightly. *Although I have a tendency to forget things whilst moroculously *drunk, I don't seem to when sober. * Except recently I have been quoted as having an interest in *weathermen. Am I losing my mind? No thank the lord. * Hello Claire, I hope you are well. Exceedingly thanks. It was I (Claire No.2) who first mentioned the weatherman thingy, much to the dismay no doubt of the people who had to read it. I was introduced to B&S and the list by a certain John Johnston (hi John!)and like so many before me, fell in love. * Anyway list song.... does 'letter from America' count,??? * 'Lochaber no more Linwood no more Skye no more' etc etc etc. Did you know that The Proclaimers used to be called "Jimmy Jimmy"? Damn good they were to, at least to an 11 year old.

Sinister: Tickets for Leeds/Nottingham/Shepherds Bush
by Kevan Cooke 20 Aug '98

20 Aug '98

I no longer have any spare tickets, but don't despair... If anyone else out there has any spare tickets could they let me know. I'll try and put you in touch with a fellow Sinisteree who is in need of tickets. Likewise people desperate for a ticket let me know. I hadn't heard anything by Elliott Smith until a few weeks ago, but I feel that I have to join with Brad and jump to the man's defence. "Say yes" is one of the best songs I have heard recently. And not all of the songs sound the same. Just a lot of them. But then, if you like what they sound like it's not really a problem is it?

And very fine it is too Nick Dastoor wrote; >Has anyone else recklessly bought tickets for Leeds and Nottingham >without having any idea where they are going to stay? Youth hostel >tips, anyone? I would offer space on my floor, (for Leeds) but it's already going to be filled with assorted friends and lunatics, however I think the University might rent out rooms cheaply in halls of residence, might be worth a try. I have no idea where the youth hostel is in Leeds, a brief look at Yellow Pages is less tha helpful, but that's not to say there isn't one...If people do go to the previously mentioned 'Brighton Beach' club as post-gig entertainment it's open until 4am which, with an interlude at the local all-night caff, might just take you up to train running times. Rock biogs; There are two Phil Ochs biogs, 'Death of A Rebel' by Marc Eliot and 'There But For Fortune' by Michael Schumacher. Which I mention because the Ochs story itself is truly compelling. And sad. Brilliance, frustration, early death. It could have been a brilliant career. However avoid the Eliot as is poorly written, tends to focus on later barren and depressive years and written by a type who appears to be a freeloader and knew Ochs only in the last couple of years. Ska cd buying; 'And This Is A Ska Explosion' (Debutante) is a new, cheapish, and very fine.
