Sinister: US Gigs
by Katrina House 23 Sep '98

23 Sep '98

Hello everyone, just a quick message to let you all know, that the Toronto show has now been changed to all-ages, so if you were hesitating in getting your tickets, don't! but, the bad news is that it looks like the Chicago show will stay at 18+ only. i think the bvenue make their own rules there, as someone pointed out on the list recently, but i'm just too darn busy to go through the ARCHIVES and check ;) oh, and the Atlanta gig should be all-ages too according to the promoter. don't thank me, thank lovely Neil ... i'm just the messenger. cheers, Katrina. -- ************************************************************************ jeepster recordings ltd. - mailto:a-and-r@jeepster.co.uk 217 canalot, 222 kensal road, london, w10 5bn, uk phone - 0181 964 9432, fax - 0181 964 8600 http://www.jeepster.co.uk +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Calling London students
by Mark Casarotto 23 Sep '98

23 Sep '98

Hello. Having been inspired by the good doctor C.B. Stride and his rather fab-looking Sheffield club (the Warwick version of which I ran a couple of years ago), I am writing to ask if there are any students at any of the London universities who would be interested in helping me organise an indie club night in their place of study. Obviously as a non-student, I don't have access to the facilities myself, but I have a fair bit of experience and expertise, as well as a half-decent cd (and record) collection, and would absolutely love to be involved in running a club again. So if there is anyone out there who's been toying with the idea but doesn't know where to begin, or just needs some incentive to get off their arse, write to me privately, even if it's just to put me in touch with another like-minded individual. You can be pretty damn sure that it'd be a club you'd all want to come to (hmmm...), so it could be in your interest too... Anyway...I was listening to Sinister last night, having finally got it back from a friend who took rather too much of a shine too it, and I'm sorry, it really is that much better than Wor Lad wi' t'Arab Strap. No argument. And did anyone see the review of The Original Arab Strap in the Guardian today? "Belle and Sebastian may be the leaders of the new Glasgow scene, but Mogwai and Arab Strap are going to be the stayers", to paraphrase rather injudiciously. Bollocks, I say. Bye bye dreamers, Mark x +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Me...
by Hopkins, Tim 23 Sep '98

23 Sep '98

Well, you probably won't believe it but I had a Belle and Sebastian dream at last. I rarely remember my dreams at all, so I thought I'd share the few shards of this one with you all. We (that's the whole list) were on a bus package holiday, going from town to town, watching Belle and Sebastian play. I know it would take a fleet of coaches to accommodate all of us, but this was a dream, OK? I didn't really identify any individuals, but everybody was having a great time and drinking squabbling and throwing up, and stuff. I remember the band playing a short synthesised song, in which Stuart sounded like Phil Oakey out of the Human League, round about the time of 'A Crow And A Baby'. It was...unusual. Anyway, a gig ended, and I was on my own, outside the venue. Appropriately enough, I had missed the bus. It was Glasgow, and I suddenly realised the tour was over. I was skint and it was the middle of the night. Keith Watson walked up with some young lady clinging to his arm and said, 'Hi Tim, we're off to a club...' and left. The bastard. And that was about it really. It was kind of appropriate, because this is my signing-off message. A year (more or less) of sinister has been fabulous, but I am off to seek my real-life misfortune elsewhere, and I have no idea when I'll be back in the land of e-mail again. Can I take this opportunity to say that some, indeed most, of you have been lovely, and that there haven't been many days this year when this list has failed to interest or provoke me. This list is a mighty and special thing, but it is also a bit fragile. Take care of it. The best way to take care is to try to make sure that *every time* you post, you put a bit of wit, or a bit of heart into your message. Then everything will be just dandy. I still can't think of a better place to give and receive friendly abuse, to get snarled up in pedantic arguments about pop ethics, to write to 600 strangers about your dreams, or to talk about the best pop group in the world. Whoever that might be today. Hopefully I'll see you again at some point in the not-too-distant future. If any of you are desperate to get in touch with me in the mean time, then you're sicker than I thought. Honey, thanks for having me. You're a P!O!P! genius. ;-) Cheerio one and all Tim +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Don't tell mum the babysitters dead
by kenny 23 Sep '98

23 Sep '98

Hi ya you stunning little sinistereens, Firstly can I wish Honey a happy Holiday. At least we will have a few days with out one of his mega long mailings saying READ THE ARCHIVES, so in his absence I will take it upon myself just to include this line in every mail I send. Secondly I saw a Tigermilk bootleg in a store the other day. It had the album cover 4 times on the front, in a kind of "playschool's square window" pattern. (Even though as far as i can remember that didn't have a cross in the middle, I just felt like putting in a reference to my ever distant youth) . It also had all 8 of the Mark Radcliffe sessions on the end, very tempting, but I've becomed quite attached to the romantic notion of just having a tape of a tape etc rather than a cd, although I'll still buy the offical copy when it comes out. Thirdly, Is no one willing to do me a tape of the looper and V Twin stuff as I asked the other day. Just thought I'd ask again in hope. As I said before I'll do a magnificent tape in return, and I'll even put "I KNOW WHERE THE SUMMER GOES" on it, now that really is an offer that can't be taken lightly. Fourthly, Have B&S stormed America in the wake of this morality crisis? It's just there seem to be more and more of the "newbies" (their words not mine) coming from across the atlantic. I'm trying to think of a way to find out where we all live without clogging up the list. My best idea so far is to have a big map on the sinister page with a little red dot where each one of us lives, with a close up on the UK, this would make it easier to find a central point for any picniccy meet ups. Thats one for you Honey! (only joking, I know it will be too much work, but how about a town listed after the email address of everyone on the list page?) Fifthly, Why am I doing this in numbered points, aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhh its a ...... LIST! THE GIRLS ARE HOLDING HANDS DON'T BE A FOOL IT'S 1995, THE GIRLS ARE JUST FRIENDS, Jake (SUSSEX,UK)! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Pease Pudding Hot
by PJMiller 23 Sep '98

23 Sep '98

Howay man! I'm Geordie Isaac Hayes an I'm gannin doon the pint for a gan an to get us some burds like? Howay! It's Timmy Five Bellies! An the drummer oota Kenickie! Howay! Paul wrote: Actually there won't be one. This just to say that your list manager will be away for some of this week and next, and expects you all to be good bunnies, not make rude signs to the neighbours, and not feed your little sister to the dog. And keep the house tidy. I'll probably pop in remotely to do any maintenance I can, and because it will cost me I will be less patient... grrr. It's that time of year again. Once again we are faced with a good given opportunity. Paul has gone away, so it's up to us to talk about him behind his back. I'll start: Honey aka Honey is a doctor of astronomy. He studied for mnay years, often under the tutelage of Patrick Moore himself, to earn himself this distinguished title. On his graduation day, he was awarded a certificate and an extremely large and powerful telescope. Paul was happy and relieved because at long last he was able to carry out the secret plan that he had harboured for so many years. He got home, whipped off his mortar board and cloak, revealing only a pair of leopardskin underpants beneath. He somehow managed to haul the enormous telescope upstairs and set it up on its special tripod in his bedroom. He sttled down and waited for the big moment. At last, seven hours later, Paul's dream finally came true! He was able to enjoy the sight of his neighbour, Mrs Matlockbath-Cablecar, wearing only her bloomers and corset as she pranced around her exotically perfumed boudoir. Yesterday I went to the pictures and it was a film and it was Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and it says on the poster that it stars Johnny Depp but it doesn't, because I'm sure it is Lawrence out of Denim, so he's not on the dole at all, it's just a trick to get loads of inidie sympathy. Oh, a word of introduction for newcomers: My name's Peter, I've been lurking on the list for about a year now. My favourite music is "Behind Blue Eyes" by The W!H!O!, but not the slow bit at the beginning, just the bit near the end where they really give it some and rock out big time. I used to like Isaac Hayes, but he's sold out, the big turkey.
