Sinister: how do i grow a tape tree?
by vlass＠interlog.com 15 Aug '98

15 Aug '98

hmmm... after reading many vague references to this thing called a "tape tree", i must finally ask for an exact definition.. i'm sorry, i've been away so i don't know. and really, i *did* look it up in the archives but it didn't amount to much, so now i'm turning to YOU... this mysterious tape tree: the result of gene splicing between plants and music? or is it like a rubber plant or something? can i get one or is it too late? i promise to give it lots of sunlight and water, and who knows - maybe i'll even sing to it to make it grow better. so, um, can anybody help? green thumb teri xx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Defaid, Skateboards a Wellies

Hello list! I've been gone for 2 weeks - didja all miss me? I am sure you all did - else I would see that red mist again......the nice counseller said I shouldn't get SHARP KNIFES confused with aubergines.... No I don't know either. Aren't chocolate slices nice? Considering they are the only thing in the house, it's Friday night, I am sober and alone and wishing I knew what a life was OOH THE ANGST! Anyway, down to rambling! My holiday! Was HOT! I didn't burn! I am proud! The Manics are on the cover of the FACE. The Face. The magazine for posing tosspots everywhere! Hey kid! You have no personality? Then read THE FACE! It will tell you what is painfully hip hop and groovey and EXPENSIVE! But seeeing as you a rich twat anyway, who cares! Some media fucker in london will be satified you are making him richer! Buy me and your life will be fine! I hate the face! HELP ME! I read halfa what MSP say and think you are arseholes, I fucking hate what you are saying, it's SHIT! But then I just SEE them and see the most important band of my life - or perhaps who WERE? But I stil love them, except I don't know what I'm on about. Two good songs by the Bonzo Dog Band. There are two of them. And they are called MY PINK HALF OF THE DRAINPIPE and RHINOCRATIC OATHS! The Beach Boys are good. I had many sleepless nights in Tenerife, due to the yukky heat. Here are some thoughts I had. I was thinking how shit and NOODLE-ing the Seahorses are. And I thought, if you were going to cook John Squire, you'd have tostir fry him in a wok - with all his noodles. Then.... I thought, how does one cook listees? It passed the hours beween three and five am anyway - hey, the logistics of a human toaster are quite hard. First of all I was going to toast Keith - 'cos lets face it girlies, who wouldn't like to spread "I can't belive it's not butter" all over keith and tuck in? wa-HEY! But then I decided no, it doesn't match his name. So, with a little shift - we have VOILA! Tag on Toast! Just as scrummy - but you see, you only get a half portion. You only use half of him for toast - the other hlaf would be used in.....oh god even *I* don't want to make this joke........ Tag- liatelle. GROOOAN! Keith would be spit-roasted so you could make a keith kebab. "Peej" Miller would be mashed up and stuck in a pie with potatoes, so you could have Potato and Meat Pete Pie.... Chris Leonard is one Spicey Dude - he proved that in paying 7890 quid for Geri Spices "booger" (American for snot. Isn't it ace!) - and this, you would have to make a Chris Curry. Then it was daylight. My trip was soundtracked by the new MSP single - it was being played EVERYWHERE! , XTC, Soft Boys, Melys, and what I like to call ever so precisely - "some dance shit". God. Ravers. I am going to Manchester soon. I shall HAVE to buy the RAVERS SUCK tshirt. It is so true. Kids - I shall leave you with a deep moral message. If it aint Welsh language punk - it's crap. Take heed. Anhrefn. *nods sagely* I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!!!!

Yes her rapier wit is one to treasure, sending me things through the post addressed to Moonbeam is purely uncalled for though I think. 87) Gary "Inside every bag of shite is a spark of gold, now it's probably just the wrapper off a Caramac, but it's there".

Sinister: ooh, surfs up baybee!
by Sarah 14 Aug '98

14 Aug '98

My gosh! I have now had my first experience of "surfing the archives". I'm bored and can't sleep, alright?? Aaaaaw! Mr Peej Miller missed me! By the way, no-one else seems to have noticed, but here is a scary thing. Listen to "Neighbourhood" by Space, there is a line, which goes something like "In number 666 there lives a MISTER MILLER HE'S OUR LOCAL VICAR AND A SERIAL KILLER"!!!!! is this true? Are murderers allowed on the list? Help Honey, we need moral guidance! I have listened to Side 2 of 20 Golden Greatst Hits by the Beach Boys five times. six now. It's fun. I don't know why. I can't be bothered changing it. It's good. I still haven't got Pet Sounds. Boring story. But I do like the Beach Boys. I don't know why, I don't know, what are words but abstraact bollocks put into squggles, hehe, squggles, what a good word! It was going to be squiggles but hey.... The Idler? Isn't that the mag that is even more pretentious than THE FACE? Alex from Blur writes for it. Isn't it a London only thing? lerts face it, the Idler is no LANCASHIRE EVENING POST is it? But personally, nothing can match the Grimsnargh Herald. Headlines. "Young person spotted! mavis has a heart attack!" "the wild and crazy youth are running riot!" "A car spotted!" Sorry if there are any listees from Grimsnargh here - but if so, you will know it is true. Oh yes. The Idler. It may be good. Warton may be found to be a goldmine. Tim. Now lovey. RANCID. They are so fucking shit! They say they are punk, oh yes of course you are. Dead intellectual you are Rancid. Kerrang likes you, 'cos you have shorts and tattoo and look like the remains of rhino excretion after Paul Weller has wanked all over it thinking it was a fresh and spunky member of Ocean Duller Scene. Oooh Rancid, with your shouty bollocks and complete ineptiude may you writhe in torment in Mick "the prick" Hucknalls dreadlocks forevermore. Now don't make me mention them again. Oh god! It's 1.44am and the milk van has just gone down the street! Is that right? Tag talked about Manics fans in a (whats the word? ah yes) derogatory manner. And there I was starting to like him. Oh Sarah stop this knee jerk GGRRRR reactionto anyone who may insult MSP or their fans!! Are there many manics fans you like YOURSELF Sarah girlie? Well....oh shit! Yes! There is one I am great friends with! Doesn't bode well! yes i don't like most MSP fans myself. Espeically the MSP fanzine circuit. Anyone who has a copy of my zine, burn it 'cos it's pish. Well, it isn't, it's quite funny actualy if you're where I was when I made it, which was in "Very Twatty Land"... er, and I've escaped from there? Did I have a point? Shall I put the kettle on? Can I bring my mother? I'm the Jimi Hendrix of the Spoons me! Um yes so anyway. TODAYS moral message kids - if it isn't the Beach Boys, it's crap. The Beach Boys. *nods sagely* yes.

Sinister: JOY, MD TREE,playing order

Hi ya all, I think had read on the list, a couple of days back the someone had been to see the new avengers film and thought it was crap, and warned people not to go near a cinema to see it (sorry whoever that person was, I would go back through the mailings to find your name but I've already deleted it I suspect). I thought that I would give it a chance. I was wrong to. It was crap. All of it (Well except for Eddie Izzard, and seeing Shuan Ryder being machine gunned down by an old granny!). So please stay away. Stay at home and listen to ANYTHING by B&S, even the instrumental version of tigermilk that has been getting such bad votes has got to be better. Anyway, introductions aside, I just wanted to tell the world, or at least the list how great TBWTAS is. Today I got a finished copy, artwork'n'all from a friend of a friend etc( it is less dodgy than it sounds, my connections, not the album I mean). I wont spoil the surpise for those not wanting to know about it by telling you just how emmense it is here and now, but it is worth waiting for! And to Amber who was wondering in which order to play the cd th !st time in the machine I'd recommend: 7,9,1,2,3,4,5,6,10,11,12,8. If you've got the cd now just try it- you know it makes sense! And lastly, if anyone can be arsed to set up a Minidisc tape tree count me in! I'm off to bed now withTBWTAS, and a huge grin on my face. And if I'm lucky I'll "dream I had to go to Mars" (oops sorry nearly gave something away there) Jake (Sorry to seem like I'm gloating that I've got the cd, I'm just overcome with joy, and remember GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT 3 weeks and a bit) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Re:More media monitoring

Evening Hipsters! >>someone who has never been more WRONG in his life, wrote: <snip!> :-) I've been much more wrong than that in my life! Like when I thought that trenchcoats and the Levellers were pretty damn hep. I was that far from a dog on a bit of string and dreads, I tell you. And I once bought, and wore a panama hat. So there. I love the manics, I really do, but it's just that I don't like this last single. (Or the album before it..) They seem to have lost their anger- I was expecting 'repeat', and I got 'sense'. But anyway, enough arguments! Happy p!o!p!py smiles all round! 'cause it's summer, and Belle and Seb show no signs of going all crappy just yet. Or do they? Mmm...

No. Sorry, No. Mind you, all these things are coming back.Countryfile or something like that said the other day that Swing is coming back, and that we'll all be doing it soon. What's a hipster to do? I refuse to give up my flares for anyone. Gay Byrne is retiring. A tragedy. Not only a great broadcaster, but he also had the best name in Ireland, (second to Dick Spring.) He sounds like a friction injury. I shall miss him. Okay, bye bye Sebastian Braonain (sorry if this has already disgraced the list-my mailer's buggered.

Sinister: dancin' with tears in my eyes

For any of you with doubts about the new B&S LP...Thinking it might not live up to Tigermilk and IYFS......DIE. Right now. It's f****** brilliant in the majorest way......It's so strange hearing most of the songs in the raw form so many times..then hearing them all...gussied up. They sho did pretty up good! *sigh* You have to admire the power of a CD when you can hear something...and like the world for a few short minutes....it makes you feel like you've smoked opium or something and you sit, grinning like a loon and want to run outside and hug people. Yikes. I'd better stay right here till this euphoria fades. I feel dangerous. I feel like Gidget.... in love with the cutest boy on the beach, listening to the best thing the wind can carry.... toodles, beth +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
