Sinister: moths around my light
by Sweet & Tender Hooligan 11 Aug '98

Oh, I heard National Park on the John Kennedy show last night. They were "drone rock" to put it nicely Just lots of sprawling Sonic Youth guitars and not a rhyming couplet to be seen. oh well, maybe Elliot Smith might be good. and that Helen Love song is brilliant! I head another song slagging OCS off today as well. Y'know their lead singer is gay? I like that really cool drum bit in the Salako single. anyways bye Northy ______________________________________________________ "If home life wasn't unsatisfactory, we'd never leave" the Breakfast Club - 1984 ________________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

That's me. Or one of them is me. I like hearing people talk about it when they've heard it on the radio though. >weird huh? people who can lay their hands on the thing turn it down!? That's not me. Incidentally, it sounds like a Sid Krassman line from "Blue Movie". Not only do I not want to hear, read or see the album before it's released, I won't be hearing it until at least two weeks after it's released, as I fully intend to take advantage of Jeepster's fantastic V!A!T! free on-line shopping facilities. If everyone keeps going on about how good Salako are I might get that too. I liked "Dead Man" very much. I also liked "Lost Highway", even though I didn't understand any of it. Perhaps unsurprisingly, I really like the little man who says "I'm in your house". The music's good, I don't think it's an attempt to be with it and groovy. It reminds me of another nice film, "The Doom Generation". I think of that film whenever we get a message from our Transatlantic cousins about record shops. I also think about the video to 1979 (?) by Smashing Pumpkins. Are you all like that? I'm like Blakey in "On the Buses". I remember "The Girl in the Picture", but not much. Big windows that let in the light. WHO fans: I once met one in Pasajes Antxo, which is the pits of the world, very late at night. He was quite old and was wearing a WHO t-shirt. In a spirit of alcoholic bonhommie, reminiscent of Rab C. Nesbitt's "Bandage! Bandage!" incident on holiday in Spain, I went up to him and gestured enthusiastically at his WHO t-shirt. He completely freaked me out by beckoning me closer to him and giving me a quiet but spirited private rendition of "We are the mods, we are the mods, we are, we are, we are the mods!" What a lovely man.

Sinister: all your heroes are whores
by debbie 11 Aug '98

hello. i heard 'it could have been a brilliant carrer' on radcliffe too, today. oooh, how i love to hear b&s on the radio... simultaneously wanting everyone in the world to hear their brilliance while also wanting noone to have heard them so's i can keep them all to myself... but we all know how that discussion goes, so i'll quit while i'm lagging. i am pleased, though, that they have carried on the pattern of opening each album with a track that fades in, so's that you have to turn it up really loud at first, then when the louder bits come in it goes all distorted and crap if you forget to turn it back down. Or maybe that's just cos i have the worst tape player ever. Hmmmm.

Sinister: just read it please
by Declan McGurk 11 Aug '98

to those still left unknown, i dont mean to offend anyone but salako?! i heard 'em on Alternative Nation last week, and although i'll admit i wasnt fully listening, it didnt seem ote spesh. that Helen Love song though...wow! sorry. and i know its probably been asked before, right, but who exactly are the 'guests' at the belle and sebastians gigs? (if gig is the right term for such a special band?) and how long are the shows gonna last? thankyou for your patience. hey and have we done eclectic music tastes yet. my tops bands range from: the mighty B&S; the pure power that is Korn; the irish folkness of Shane MacGowan; and the more commercially successful Ash. you've more than likely not reached this far. but if you have i have an offer to make. i have i my possession two tickets to the Varities 'gig' in Leeds. and although i have a mate who is willing to go if i dont find anyone he hasnt heard of them. and he likes metal. so he might hate me for taking a tenner off him to see what he will consider crap. true story. if you were unlucky enough to miss out you can contact me - 16 year old lad by the way - at dec(a)mcgurk.demon.co.uk. by the end of this week. my free trial with demon is coming to a close. anyway, 'later, DEC +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Death to the Mods! Especially Who Fans!
by barzy＠networkmags.com 11 Aug '98

11 Aug '98

Has anyone else noticed the advert in the NME yet? (probably, but no one else considered it interesting enough to comment upon). Well, a photo, it's all green, and seems to show Chris Geddes and some other bloke (one of the Stuarts?) in kilts, climbing up a castle wall. Holding swords and cans of beer. Which is all well and fab. But what's weller and fabber is that right next to it is an ad for Ocean Colour Scene at Stirling Castle, Illustrated by a big picture of Stirling Castle. And so it looks like Belle and Sebastian are going to sneek into Stirling Castle and nick their Scooters or crease their Ben Shermans something else naughty. Anyway, I thought it was dead rrrock and rrrrrrolll. bla bla bla Huh huh.....he said Weller...huh huh huh huh.....No really...If anyone on the list has an extra NME with the above mentioned advert in it (the Chris Geddes one, not the Ocean Colour Scene one)....if I could coax them into sending it...not the whole mag, mind you...just that advert. It would look lovely framed in my new flat. :) However..."death to the mods" is probably *not* quite the caption i'd chose. cheers, beth "kissing my elbow, kissing pete townshend's elbow :P" +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Facial Review
by Cassell Professional Publishing 11 Aug '98

11 Aug '98

Just to let you know that The Face have reviewed the new record. This is from memory, as I'm not fashionable enough to actually buy the magazine. The title track is the Bay City Rollers recorded in a church hall. Seymour Stein is a country lament to the record company executive, and Is It Wicked Not to Care casts Isobel Campbell as a sixties folkstress. Sublime AND ridiculous. Pithy AND pissy, I'd say. Went to see Armageddon on Friday night. Don't bother! This film will give you a headache. I watched half an hour of it with my eyes shut because I couldn't bear to see any more stupid special effects. On to books, if any of you still haven't read The Wind-up Bird Chronicle, you are being very silly indeed. Another great one is Eucalyptus by Murray Bail, an Australian writer. It's a fairy tale and is totally lovely. XFM seem to keep playing the same three songs over and over again. Have they been sent a copy of the whole album, or just a selection of songs. I really want to hear Ease Your Feet... on the radio. The way that Stuart sings 'curl your toes' is the cutest thing I've ever heard.

Sinister: on an assortment of miscellaneous postings
by Keith Phipps 11 Aug '98

I'll have to lend support to whoever is sticking up for Ben Folds Five. They're alright by me, and as far as songs getting overplayed on the radio, you can do a whole lot worse than "Brick." (Seven Mary Three, anyone? How about a bit of Marcy Playground?) The fact that they're hep to the B&S scene only sweetens things in my eye. And who would thought that a copy of "Tigermilk" would make its way to the Keenan Ivory Wayans Show? Too bad you didn't have an extra one for Wayans. "Lost Highway" is pretty far from David Lynch's best film. I think that the fact that Marilyn Manson was thrown into it in an apparent attempt to stay current says it all. Lynch has been trying to catch up for a while. I saw him do a Q&A session not that long ago, and he's pretty unforthcoming. I think if he could have, he would have answered most questions with a shrug, a smirk, and a "Well, why do you think donkey was speaking French in my movie?" -Keith P +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
