Sinister: what's.brown.and.sits.on.a.wall?humpty's.dump
by Rod Begbie 18 Aug '98

18 Aug '98

Two "list jingles": Apples, Hazelnuts, Sultanas. Raisins, Coconuts, Bananas. Will it be chips or jacket spuds? Will it be carrots or frozen peas? Will it be mushrooms, <token black guy>fried onion rings?</tbg> We'll have to wait and see. We hope it's chips, its chips, We hope it's chips, its chips I got a bundle of stuff that I'd ordered from Action Records this morning. New singles by Kenickie & Tiger. The Graham Coxon album. And I finally got a copy of the V-Twin single, which is alright I suppose. I'd also ordered a copy of the Kid Loco album on a whim, having heard "Love Me Sweet" on last week's Alternative Nation. Great album (I imagine it would be most agreeable if you were in the habit of partaking of "jazz cigarettes"), but imagine my surprise when I read the line "KATRINA MITCHELL: Vocals on 'Love Me Sweet'". What are the chances of that happening, eh? Imagine how different your life would be if urine was highly flammable. N'night, Rod.

Sinister: list songs
by James 18 Aug '98

18 Aug '98

list songs- Superfi by Urusei Yatsura? Anorak, sixpack, fanzine - does three items constitute a list? I don't care, it's ace. (So f**k the music scene. Yeah!) Natwest, Barclays, Midlands, Lloyds by the Manics? Maybe someone already said that. I have jam for a memory. Archives of Pain by the Manics. Cheery lists of serial killers. Nice to hear Kurt Wagner getting mentioned. The gentleness has perished. The violent man has come down on everyone. Hey, any Vic Chesnutt fans on the list? Wrong Piano. (another list song) Bastardexamresultsonthursday. sob Love Molly xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Re: Sinister: "What is the use of a book", thought Alice...

I couldn't stand seeing some egomanic NME journo cashing in, with a badly researched glossy, stuffed with old reviews and press releases. Actually, I get the feeling that if anyone's going to write a book, it'll be the band themselves. And I'd much rather read some beautiful lies about Dishwashers and All night cafes than about what really happened anyway... Then she said: <<I know he's been mentioned many times before, but I bought a Nick Drake cd with the pittance I got of Echo for selling them my old rubbish cds and it is ace. Especially 'Hazy Jane II' which is very B&S.> I've probably mentioned this before, but I'm producing a play based on Nick Drake's life. Only names & details are changed, 'cause I don't want Gabrielle Drake to sue my arse off. I've called the main character Sebastian, and the love interest Belle, obviously, and as a result, the play's getting more and more B&S by the second, which wasn't really the idea... Anyway, if anyone's got any good ideas, please e-mail me, as it's looking a bit shite at the moment. And if anyone wants to help ( he said desperately) please look at my production company's site: PISH! http://members.aol.com/Pishco/index.html Right. Plug over. Sorry Honey. Seb PS, Are you still writing that P!O!P! book Duke? I'd love to buy a copy. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Looper: Not that bad after all shocker
by susannah 18 Aug '98

18 Aug '98

Yes, you know how I said that, despite all the groovy little nick-nacks you can buy from Stuart D/Looper, the bottom line was I thought his music was shit? Well, I think I've seen the Looper light. Not in a blinding sort of way, just a standard 60 watt, and can now reveal that i think Looper is NOT THAT BAD AFTER ALL. susannah.

Sinister: RE:R**k Biographies
by Lesley Higgins 18 Aug '98

18 Aug '98

Adam suggested getting Julian Cope's 'Head On": I second that, it's a great book, I've read it at least twice since I got it a few years ago. From the same era is "The Glamour Chase" , a biography of Billy Mackenzie from the Associates. I just finished reading that this week, a friend was kind enough to schlep it back from London for me. Another personal favorite is Lester Bangs' "Psychotic Reactions + Carburetor Dung", which is not rock biography, but an assortment of reviews and rants. It probably puts me in the boring old bastard bin too, as it's from the seventies. the alcohol loves you, while turning you blue, Lesley +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: list songs
by Simpson, Claire E 18 Aug '98

18 Aug '98

Dear All Well, having read all your messages for a few weeks now I decided it was time to have my twopenny worth. A couple of list songs sprang to mind, but I was hoping someone else would mention them first so that I would not have to admit knowledge of such ditties. Here goes: Vogue - Madonna (Grace Kelly, Harlow Jean etc etc) Song for Whoever (?) - Beautiful South/Housemartins (Jennifer, Philipa, Alison, Sue etc) John Ketley is a weatherman - dunno who sang it (and so is Michael Fish) and of course the old classic where Joseph tells us about all the colours in his technicolour dreamcoat. Will you still speak to me...?

Sinister: Lovesick? So what's different today?
by Funkyseb＠aol.com 18 Aug '98

Oh lovely honeybunnies and sinisterines I am so much in love it's pathetic :-) Last week I wanted a Claire Grogan and it turns out I had one all a long, a fantastic lovely girl I met in Glasgow, who fell in love with me but couldn't say it because I look such a bitter, loveless person...and now it's too late because I'm 500 miles away. How bollocks is that, eh?

Sinister: list songs
by Janine Papp 18 Aug '98

18 Aug '98

Mary Lou Lord has a song called "His Indie World" and she lists indie rock bands, like Built to Spill, Bikini Kill, Guided by Voices and Velocity Girl. It's pretty funny. Also, my friend who saw her in Austin, TX said she performed the same song only she changed the names of the bands to "No Depression" bands. how very witty of her. Oh, I think someone should make a list of the list songs. -Queen Bee Janine- +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Re: Sinister: i bring you list jingles now and smurfs and such

matthew william snyder said: > i'm pretty sure it was "two all-beef (sic) patties, special sauce, lettuce, > cheez, pickles, onions on a sesame-seed bun." > why i remember that, i have no clue. Well, there was also the McDonald's menu song, where they listed every item in the menu ("Big Mac, ??, a Quarter Pounder with some cheese, Filet of Fish...") It's kind of rusty in my mind. Once upon a time, i had that song on one of those little floppy records of the sort that you could pull out of a magazine... I believe it was some kind of contest, where if you memorized the whole song and had a bit of luck in being selected, you could win some large prize. > on the topic of philadelphia: even if B&S were to come, they would surely > play at one of this city's fine 21+ establishments, effectively rendering > their trip here useless for the majority of this city's (underage) fans > (myself included). but beggars can't be choosers i suppose. They wouldn't do that to us, would they? I was so angry when i missed Elf Power/Of Montreal/Neutral Milk Hotel last month because they played at a 21+ bar in Philly, and now i hear that Red House Painters will be pulling the same stunt in another month or so. At least Sunny Day Real Estate is playing at an all-ages club. Hopefully Belle and Sebastian would be as kind and understanding. If they come to my own backyard and i can't get in, it would break my sad little heart. *sniffle* Jess (I'm still watching you, Honey - and i've posted twice in as many days; how do you like that?) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
