On the subject, on holiday in Tunisia recntly I was woooed by the >wonders of German satelite TV, on which I saw someone cover DM's >"Stripped" in a sort of Extreme Noise Terror sort of way. I don't >suppose any of our Euro-buddies know who whis was. I don't want to buy >it...it was shit...just curious. The band is Rammstein. They are pretty big in the states right now and are headlining some bad rock shows. I work in a music store and the kids constantly come in asking for them. Their cover of Stripped is a bit crude, to say the least...haha -Linsay +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: NBSC: Stripped cover

<<On the subject, on holiday in Tunisia recntly I was woooed by the wonders of German satelite TV, on which I saw someone cover DM's "Stripped" in a sort of Extreme Noise Terror sort of way. >> That would be Rammstein. They're German and scare me. It's part of a bizarre new-ish DM tribute, including Monster Magnet, Dishwalla and Fat Bob Smith & Co contributing. You've been warned. Oh, and Smashing Pumpkins too. Just last night I was reminiscing about how entertaining young Billy was when he appeared as the cherubic brother of the loveable ginger robot girl on "Small Wonder" a few years back.....*sigh* child stars, it all goes wrong for them doesn't it?

Lullaby for the Working Class are on Bar/None in the States and Rykodisc in the UK. They're from Lincoln, Nebraska. I happen to think they do the slow-core orchestrated country-ish thing very nicely. Kinda like Rex., another great underrated band. I think they were a couple mentions of them on this list around 6 months ago or so... +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Beck
by Kevan Cooke 29 Sep '98

29 Sep '98

There was an interesting article in the Observer last Sunday about how Beck is Alan Hansen's grandson. This explains the lyrics of "Devil's Haircut" as Beck is obviously concerned that he has inherited his grandfather's hairstyle. I'm sure you will all remember Dennis Pennis' proof that the Liverpool defender turned football pundit is the devil - he used to dress in red, wear the number six, and was afraid of crosses. Apologies for the gratuitous football reference and total lack of B&S content. I can confirm that Adrian looks nothing like an Avenger. If I had recognised him after Shepherds Bush I would never have stood there at the bar leering lustfully at his Kate and throwing him menacing looks.

Sinister: Oh dear
by Keith Watson 29 Sep '98

>All the people on this list sure weren't half this adorable in 1992. >What I mean is that they were all listening to Fugazi and Mudhoney and > the Dead C and shit like that because it was vogueish to be into, you > know, the 'extremes of rock', all the Stooges and stuff. Were all the list into this stuff? I know quite a lot of people on the list, but proportionally only a small amount of people, and I've met even less of them, however, this interesting statistic you've come up with seems to suggest that over 700 people were all into Fugazi 6 years ago - and what's more, every last one of them was only in on it to look cool! In that case I suggest this is a far better reason for you to leave the list than a dislike of St.Etienne - who'd want to be hanging around with such a raving bunch of phoneys. I suspect Tim Groves problem with the list at the moment is not just because there's too much talk of St.Etienne going on, but that there's too much shite being talked - like people being accused of things they didn't say, the entire list being accused of being *something* by someone who evidently doesn't know anything about it. And it's a bloody pity. I suppose it was obvious that the list was gonna go through a certain amount of upheaval of late, as naturally there will be a lot of people who've just got into the band coming on, and the numbers certainly have swelled. I don't see why this should cause too many problems really - it is a good thing. There are always a large number of people who're not really interested in what they're talking about, be it Prolapse, Mudhoney or Belle and Sebastian. There's just no point in worrying about it though, cause they're not going to go away - and there are shedloads of people on the list who're genuinely into what they're talking about. I certainly am - I can't see how I can ever pretend to be "cool", my tastes are often too popular for the obscurist crowds and often to obscure for the mainstream crowd. I can't say I really think about it. In any case, here's a joke that was on the radio the other morning... How do you turn a duck into a pop star? Put it in the microwave till it's Bill Withers. Cheers, Keith. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: I am curious, yellow

Dear Helen, When are we going to see you get your kit off? ...ooops, sorry, wrong letter.

Obviously, this is complete and utter bollocks, designed to provoke a reaction. Just imagine how successful today's bands would be if they had thought of such a clever and original form of self-publicity. Incidentally, I don't think our friend was leaving the list because he didn't like Saint Etienne, I think he was quoting that as an example, and he was leaving because he was bored with 90% of the posts. I simply can't imagine why. I forgot to mention Chris wearing blue nail varnish in Stockholm. I was hoping that it would be blue and yellow as some kind of tribute to the country was in, but nevertheless it was a nice touch, I thought. Talking of Scandinavian bands, has anyone heard the Opel Bastards? I've heard they're very good. Keith, Bez and I are going for a curry and some bouze tonight. Thought you'd like to know. Can I go home now please?

Sinister: well, I agree with you Mark
by Christa Chaffinch 29 Sep '98

29 Sep '98

I wasn't going to say anything about this (tyring to be diplomatic, you know)...but I agree that not liking St Etienne is a pretty lame excuse for leaving this list. Or that we don't talk enough about B&S?? Ummm... what?! We talk more (by far) about the "real" subject matter than any other list I've been on. And I , also, have been listening to B&S for quite a while now- what makes this guy think he's more of a fan than I am, or any of us? I don't like B&S because I'm trying to be "cool", and I don't belong to this list to be "cool". I just really like their music, and I resent any implication otherwise. By the way, I never liked Mudhoney or Dead C (sorry), and I was a serious cardigan wearing, ribbons in my hair kindof girl, even in 1992. :) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
