Sinister: spice up your life
by tinystar＠worldy.com 08 Aug '98

08 Aug '98

Hello, I've been quiet for a while, but two beers, champagne, and some shots at a friend's wedding have made me feel chatty tonight. I started out the day feeling crap because my date, who is a good friend but does have a girlfriend, bailed on me at 11pm last night: his girlfriend apparently had some issues with us attending a wedding together. So I was prepared to go and sulk and sit in the corner and get absolutely plastered (thank god for open bar weddings), but instead I actually had a good time, thanks to friends that also came single (and a little alcohol, don't get me wrong) and some bright moments from the dj, who played dance mixes of Abba, Madonna, and the Spice Girls (okay, a guilty pleasure). I, being the drama queen that I am, had to dance and shake my booty and my feather boa (baby blue to match my dress) and my silver shoes and drag various friends onto the dance floor and danced with my friend's brother, who's close to my age and a darn cute guy. So I'm a bit tipsy in that tired, dopey way, listening to the Trembling Blue Stars and feeling lovesick, thinking about the Spice Girls (a real hot topic lately for some reason, them and Volkswagen Beetles and computers) and various Perl codes, since my computer geek self always exists, especially late at night. I'm very pleased that I am getting a filing cabinet in my room, so I don't have to go to the kitchen to do my magnetic poetry. And oh yes, I'll be able to file things in it as well. Wunnerful. sleep tight, jessica Perhaps I shall start posting more often. This feels as though it may be cathartic when sober. ***************************************************************** Someone had spied on us, I suppose, as we sat beside the canal and ate the sandwiches, drinking not even orangeade or Coca-Cola but hot milk out of a thermos. **************************************************************** t i n y s t a r @ w o r l d y . c o m +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Mommyheads

Erin said: >Also, there is >another musical Adam Cohen (who has genuine talent), and he was lead >singer/songwriter for San Francisco band The Mommyheads. Yay! I love the Mommyheads. They had this great tape on Simple Machines with a song called Swimming in my Girlfriend's Pool. And a single that sounded like Queen called 'the world is round' that everyone ought to own. Then they signed to Geffen and it all went sadly pear-shaped. Anyways, I lost my copy of that tape. It was one of the series based on tools that had one by Dave Grohl amongst others. Would anyone on the list be able to do me a copy of it? from Joss Offending You Explicitly Since 1973 me at home is jossleag(a)iol.ie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *-*-* Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list *-*-* To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: six impossible things before breakfast*
by andrew dean 07 Aug '98

07 Aug '98

deep breath... 1) the new looper single (the a-side anyway, the b-side suffers somewhat because it contains totured trumpets) is quite gorgeous despite what susannah says. it also clarifies something from 'a century of elvis' which has always intrigued me, the line when he's telling elvis about how him and karn did it all backwards which goes 'we got to know each other and then we met'. which those of you who've ever met your email crush will instantly identify with... 2) peel played 'brilliant career' on his show last night (at 8:57 to be precise). was worried the new lp would be over-produced (cos i've always prefered, say, the session versions of tracks from the last lp) and whilst this is kinda polished they haven't buffed the life out of it completely. reminds me of simon and garfunkel. which in turn reminds me of florida, sigh... (he's also been playing tracks from the new salako lp in every show this week (colours merge and fly at 9:51 last night), sounds nice, very sixties and nothing like i'd expect from someone like james 8) 3) strange that someone asked why stuart m was 'pretending' to be left handed in the new press shot (the one in the lecture theatre) cos if you watch him spray the wall in the 'dog on wheels' video he also does this with his left hand... 4) if the threat of legal action should force a change of name i think the simplest change would be to germanise it - 'belle und sebastian' 8) that said, if i was a french women who'd had a brief spell of fame in the seventies i'd be flattered that my work had imprinted itself so fondly on a bunch of scottish rapscalians with an eye for a tune. 5) the big question about the upcoming tour is whether they are going to be using the big red a.m.k van still. we got to manchester and the taxi driver dropped us off at the back of the town hall and it's a big place and we weren't quite sure just where the gig was going to be. and then we spotted the a.m.k. van and we knew we were going to be ok... 6) a couple of things even keith missed on his roundup of side-projects and the like: sarah mentions a hobby band in the chickfactor review, i forget the name, something to do with brothers. and stevie was seen recently wowwing los angeleans playing guitar with the bmx bandits. there, 6 points, all remarkably on-topic, probably more than some of you have managed since you subscribed... andy i think i'd better point out that that picture of st lucy is kinda misleading. in reality st lucy's hair isn't quite that colour for a start... one of the manics on the big breakfast this morning saying that the two things that keep him going are sport and chips. ooh, cutting edge. this, to my mind, makes him about as dangerous and out there and intensely intense as my dad. isn't banjo kazooie great? i like the way tooty dances around whilst mumbo is playing the vibes in the opening sequence, bit of a bobby gillepsie influence there if i'm not mistaken... * alice in wonderland. or is it alice through the looking glass? i don't know. anyway, it's the red queen... == andrew dean (koogydelbbog(a)yahoo.com) _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

A bit of hyperbole maybe, but still anyone who like Gang of Four and Huggy Bear should snatch it up.

Sinister: Multi-Coloured Swap Shop
by Richard Hutt 07 Aug '98

If James Taylor had copyrighted his name, I wouldn't have had the entertainment afforded me the other night in Los Angeles. An elderly lady in tie-dye was most offended at having paid twenty bucks to see Mr.Taylor - when in fact she was treated to the jazz funk stylings of the James Taylor Quartet. What was most amusing was the way she thought we had all been taken in by this confidence trickster and his wiley Hammond Organ. "It's a SCAM!" she screamed.... Me and Audrey have done a mini version of the tape tree, which might work if anyone can be arsed. It's very low-impact. And fun. And it crosses the ocean nicely. Simply pick your partner (and if you can't pick one for yourself, the P.E. teacher will make you pair up with the only kid in the school more awkward than you, and you'll have to hold hands), get yourself a free evening and a good video shop (or store)and swap movie rental ideas. Hey Presto! It's that easy. Strangers frequently have very good taste. Audrey recommended The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, which was fantastic. Two spaces left on/in the PCH listening party. Oh go on. Richard, on his way to the dentist for a double root canal that will use up whatever money he had saved for a trip back home and cause him agonizing pain. But that's o.k. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
