Not that it's a competition or anything, but if someone's rented a ballroom I'd hate to try and throw a party to compete with that.

Sinister: 6 things.
by J Errington 21 Sep '98

21 Sep '98

Onto five things in a sec but first: (A). I'm VERY dissapointed at how conservative all these musical taste lists seem to be. No, really. The Smiths, Tindersticks, Radiohead and the Jesus & Mary Chain seem to be in all of the things. (B). Brier: 'Sweet F.A.' means 'Sweet Fuck All' i.e it means 'Nothing' Right: Now for 5 things to make a young (19) boy sigh: 1. Lying in bed and listening to B&S 2. Having all your friends at Uni / Night shift and no-one to talk to all day. Lots of people like solitude but I get a grawing hollow sick feeling. 3. Sitting in a shit nightclub and watching all your friends pair up except you. 4. Wondering what I'm doing starting a shit course in a horrible university full of dumb fucking EE A-level grade Business Studies studients in a mind- numbingly expensive city. 5. E-mailing some questions for your fanzine to a favorite musician only to have them replied in a brief, unpleasant and obscene way. Sorry, but there they are. I've no time for good humor when i'm in a mood like this. I don't know why I bother writing to this list. I may as well send my messages to Emile Zola or Alexander the Great for all the response I get. That could be the 6th thing. It's not very theraputic and nobody reads this. If they do they take a hell of a lot more than they give.

Sinister: Newbie from New York
by MileEndGrl＠aol.com 21 Sep '98

21 Sep '98

Hello List! I like to make myself known on lists as early as possible. Now I just recently discovered this band. All I heard were such amazing reviews. What took me so long to get these CDs was lack of money since the cheapest I could find it around me was $21.99 for Sinister and $400 for Tigermilk (which is to be expected). Oh how I hate Long Island's music taste. Anyhoo, I am not sure which CD I like better, both are amazing in there own special way. So is anyone seeing them in New York on November 1st? I kind of have a dilemma with that show. I bought my ticket, but the show sold out before my friend could get her ticket, so I am going solo right now. If anyone would like to meet up before hand that would be lovely! Perhaps there is a something being planned already. Those picnics sound like a smash! If another one goes on the NYC area, please let me know! I love get togethers and I can make a mean key lime pie.

Sinister: Newbie on Shepherd's Bush
by Dom 21 Sep '98

21 Sep '98

Hi people! Yet another posting from a newbie - you're probably all getting sick of this. Just a few comments on the Shepherd's Bush gig (a bit late I know but it's taken me this long to read all the mails since then and actually have time to respond). Does anyone know what the last song they played was? It was instantly familiar in the way that old Eurovision songs that you can't get out of your head are, so much so that I'm beginning to suspect it _was_ an old Eurovision song? Whoever said their friends thought Isobel looked "mean and moody" - during one of the points in the gig when I was looking up at her and sighing like a young boy, I too thought she looked terribly serious. (Further observations on this, and on Isobel in general, were cut short by a strange Marge Simpson-esque noise coming from my girlfriend...) On the bootlegged Tigermilk theme, I'd have done the same thing if I'd seen a CD in my local record shop - which reminds me, does anyone living near Bristol, Cambridge or London have a good quality copy (dare I say the original?) of Tigermilk? I only ask because mine is so bad that I can't make out what the girl says in "I Should Be Screaming" - you know, the bit all about "not being daunted by the longest words in the dictionary" or something. Does anyone know? I've been painting the outside of the house all day listening to TWATTYBUS on repeat at nearly full volume in my room so I can hear it outside. This is one of the best ways of finding out which tracks are quietest - I could hardly hear A Space Boy Dream. Or the end of most of the tracks. I think the idea about putting MP3's on the web site is one of the best I've heard so far for Tigermilk - surely there's no way this would actually dent sales amongst B&S fans if it were ever rereleased? Back on Shepherd's Bush again - if you were the guy who fainted before B&S came on, it was me who gave you your jacket back at the end, BTW. Keep mailing (not too many long ones - all the newbies are clogging up the list) Oh the hypocrisy love Lazy House-Painter Dom +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: HEY! London (indoor) picnic Saturday 26th September!
by Mark Casarotto 21 Sep '98

21 Sep '98

The header says it all, really... This Saturday coming, there will be what is to all intents and purposes a picnic at the lovely and beautiful Rory and Linda's house in charming North London. It's inside because we didn't think we could rely on the weather, but if it turns out lovely, I'm sure that can be accommodated. I implore everyone who's around to come along, as it will be invariably class (anything that Rory's involved in tends to be). New listees are especially welcome, particularly those who posted about not managing to meet up with like-minded souls at the now legendary Shepherds Bush event. Rumour has it that Stevie Troosers' melting submarine will be putting in an appearance, which should be attraction enough for anyone... It'll kick off about 2 p.m., so get there early for maximum thrills. For those who have been before, you know the drill - for those that haven't, bring some food, maybe something that everyone can tuck into, and (of course) all the alcohol you can carry. Any games, tapes, guitars, balalaikas, or those wobble boards what Rolf Harris uses are encouraged, nay obligatory. The address is as follows - it's ever so easy to get to: Top flat, 40 Salisbury Road, London N4. To get there, take the tube to Manor House (Piccadilly Line), and then the 29, 171 or 171A bus for 5 stops (about half a mile) towards Wood Green. Get off outside the post office, cross the road, and Salisbury Road is next to the "Old Suffolk Punch" Pub. It's dead easy to find. For further information, now or on the day, call 07771 656961, and be ready to be persuaded. Seriously, it's a brilliant opportunity to meet everyone you've ever wanted to (well, pretty much!)...there were 30 people at the New York Picnic - you're not going to let them beat us, are you? Look forward to seeing you there!

Sinister: 5 days to Stockholm
by Peter Larsson 21 Sep '98

21 Sep '98

Hi! 5 days left to the Stockholm gig. Are there any plans for a meeting before. I heard something about kricket in Vitabergsparken. Is that a good idear? I don't know how to play it and I guess no one else does. Why not simply play brännboll instead? At least we know how tp play that game. I think I could gather around 20 people for that. Rebecka and Vanessa write and tell us about the plans. /Peter +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Well, this is my first message to all of you, let me introduce myself... My name is Christa and I live in Washington DC.

I am interested in going by train to the NY show (that isn't sold out?) Could anyone tell me info about the venue, etc? I feel the intense need to cram in every show that is possible for me to see. I look foreward to hearing from you guys. I'm sure this will brighten my day considerably here, at the workstead!
