Sinister: a quick survey -Reply

Here in California, I am sitting at my computer at work trying to get my mind off of my girlfriend who just broke up with me (of 1 1/2 years). Depression is a better place than I am at now. It probably doesn't help litening to "Seeing Other People" on my CD player right now. The time is 10:39AM Wednesday, August 5th. Weather: Dreadfully prozac sunny. Can any of you fellow hipsters support me with any words of encouragment? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list.

I think I'm selection F (which wasn't listed so I had to invent): Crying pathetically towards my computer screen as my stuffed bunny bangs his head repetitively on the monitor. I really hate it when the little bastard does that. He starts talking to me about absolutely nothing in general (to the point of being annoying). I listen for a little while, just out of morbid curiosity mind you, until I can stand no more--at which time I inform him that he his just a stuffed bunny after all, and shouldn't even be talking in the first place. He then proceeds to furiously stomp off (which isn't far considering the size of his little stuffed bunny legs) and starts banging his head repetitively on the monitor. Enough about me; what the hell are YOU doing with yourself?

Keith: ->It is that woman who seems a spot unchuffed, although I doubt it'll come to >anything. Hopefully not, it is a nice name, I'm surprised you can copyright >something as generic as two names in a row, I mean, can you legally define >the difference between John and Dave, or something - or Robson and Jerome, >Renee and Renato? Bob Carolgees and Spit the dog? I dunno. If I was that woman I would be a lot more annoyed about people thinking it referred to a pishy cartoon than about people thinking it was a possibly pishy band. I can certainly understand why she might be unn petit peu upset, because the day might arrive when B&S are more famous than B&S and then everything would be upside down and back to front. Of course, this can only happen if the name you "borrow" belongs to something only slightly famous. It reminds me of Mike Reid on Saturday Superstore asking Cyril Smith, "Are you a Queen fan, Cyril?" after the video for "I Want to Break Free", and Cyril replied "I'm a fan of THE Queen, yes." He also pointed out that if Freddie Mercury wanted to break free, why couldn't he do it dressed as a man? Which is a fair point. Isn't it curious, the flotsam and jetsam that clogs up our minds? As for the legal aspects, we all know that Verve made Verve change their name to The Verve, which seems highly silly to me. I thought I would investigate the matter by writing to Verve and asking them if I was in the clear, legally speaking, if I called my band Cannonball Adderley, or did I have to call it The Cannonbal Adderley? That was months ago, and they still haven't replied. Still, I haven't got my band together yet either. A WHO convention? Quick, I'll go and pinch Sebastian's cheque book while you go and see how much they'll give you for Belle at the pet shop! Those of you who have already heard the new LP are only cheating yourselves, like children who rummage around for their Christmas presents before the big day. September 7th will be just another Monday for you lot. Unless you're going to the concert. But even if you are it will be a bit less special than otherwise. Let that be a lesson to you. My friend Alan Proudfoot at Spin CDs informs me that there is a new CD of unreleased Beach Boys goodies on the market. Has he gone insane? Does anyone know anything about this? Privately, of course. Yes, I know I could fire up my web browser, but they've just doubled the price. Finally, book news! A few weeks ago I reverse recommended Terry Southern. I would now like to reverse my judgement and forward recommend Mister Southern's "Blue Movie". It's really very funny indeed, and I insist that at least some of you rush out and buy it at the earliest opportunity. Especially you, Adrian. And you, Susannah. 6.99 is what it costs in pounds.

Sinister: Fighting flames with a boredom blanket
by Ian Turton 05 Aug '98

The Beatles produced so much material, some of it was bound to be shite. To extrapolate from this and say that the band themselves were shit and would seem a wee bit harsh. I still can't stop singing the opening to 'She Loves You' out loud (ish) when it comes on the radio. And, of course, they did other sweet thangs .... To take the already pretty abysmal debate off on an abysmally different tangent, I discovered that I have 60+ odd CDs by artists beginning with the letter 'B'. Which is nearly twice as many as the next highest - 'S'. The joint largest single contributors to this number are B & S and the Byrds, with 4 each. No Beatle shit, neither. Don't go figure. This email was purposely torpor inducing, and was sent to bore the shit out of the shit flingers.

Raaaay!, The mighty Sussanah is back, sending the list crushes score through the roof and thus probably clogging up Kristens computer for the next six months. All we need now is for Mark 'You think this is the lower east side? You mook!' Cassarato and Nick 'Lovely hair' Dastoor to break off their bloody feud long enough to make an appearence and we'll be one big happy family again! It fair swells your corpuscles it does. DAVID from Cassell wrote, "Really good book....Blah, blah...... blatant product placement..... Rhubarb rhubarb........" This is well and good, but what about the piles of overstocks we've still got in the shop from your, frankly rubbish, Military Classics promotion? What are you gonna do about them then eh? Our unpacking room is full of the bloody things. StayLuckyRoryxxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list.
