hi... anyone notice how much the super-cool "rollercoaster" sounds like luna? and how "seymour stein" sounds a bit like "sister lovers"-era big star, especially on the line "i hear dinner went well"...? just wondering... ______________________________________________________ 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".

Sinister: sweet dreams indeed
by Heinitz 14 Sep '98

14 Sep '98

do i need to tell you how much i love TABBYWARS? last week i returned from town with an empty wallet but a happy smile, for i had at last the album. i have never needed an album so much, i have never experienced such pain as those five days i had to wait while everyone else got to hear the tunes before me. but all is well, now. i am experiencing involuntary handclaps as i type. last night i had a dream that was strange even for a dream of mine. i woke up with a slightly bewildered expression as the memories of the dream filtered back into my head. i was watching ocean colour scene (!) play in front of a few people in some sort of school. it was raining much, and everybody was wet. then ocean colour scene merged into one and became elliot smith, and the sun shone and dried everybody off and we were all happy. however, as he played and sung, mr. smith began to inflate not unlike violet beauregarde in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. when he was roughly spherical, he stopped playing, and started eating yellow flowers with his feet. that's as much as i can remember clearly. it's reminded me of a dream i had a while ago which involved wandering around a department store with tim chipping from Orlando and a small blue bird with a long tail, which culminated in discovering richey james in a dark corner of a bookshop. abi, who's wondering What It All Means +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Plus fours
by Neil Dewhurst 14 Sep '98

14 Sep '98

And I thought I was the only one tragic enough to have watched that thing with Jilly Goulden. Time to shrink back under my desk. I was looking for a job, and then I found a job... I've spent six hours fixing my computer after a week off. Welcome back to sixty emails, mainly from people moaning about something or other. It was too quiet, blah blah blah, we had to wait, blah blah blah. Quit moaning people, please. I suppose that, having asked every weirdo (and lots of perfectly charming people too) in the Firkin pub if they were Kevan Cooke, or knew him, then I was just grateful to actually be in the Empire at last. I met Sean Hughes, but I didn't realise. Time for a meeting about the world's worst website (http://www.ncm.co.uk if anyone's interested.) Catch you beautiful people later. Neil. No alarms and no surprises. Please. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: TWATTYBUS in-store album chart positions
by Kevan Cooke 14 Sep '98

14 Sep '98

I don't really know what these charts represent but I went into Southampton at lunchtime, to buy the new Tindersticks singles/rarities compilation, and made a mental note of the TWATTYBUS in-store album chart positions: HMV - 8 Virgin - 4 Incidentally, my old friends at CDZONE are now suggesting that there is a Field Mice CD about to be released. Would anyone like to comment on this? There has usually been at least an unsubstantiated rumour before they start listing things.

Sinister: The Boy With An Acronym Strap
by David Moore 14 Sep '98

14 Sep '98

Hi All 1) Thanks to Honey for the unblocking of the digestive tracts a few days ago, and thanks to all you BNCWS (biscuit nibbling cardigan wearing saddoes) for ensuring that what gushed forth in the *eight* digests that I read in one day was a deluge of ...... quality musings re. gigs and the long awaited album. 2) Nice to see that our nice Uncle Paul not only gets a credit on the back of the CD but is in fact the subject of the title track (rather than Aidan Moffat as had been previously supposed)- "you stagger about making free with your lewd and lascivious posts" 3) I have been disappointed that (as far as I can remember) no-one has yet pointed out that Sarah is holding a F!O!X in the picture in the booklet. 4) Nor has anyone drawn attention to the fact that Stuart sang "She's a B!U!S driver and she's got style" at the end of TBWTAS on Monday night in the cool of the Shepherds Bush Empire. 5) Well done Katrina for explaining the delay to the start of the set on that night. B & S now forgiven, and I understand why Wee Chris is called that, and why he popped out to crowd right towards the end of Elliot Smith's set: it was not only to bump into my daughter and say sorry but also to check that he had time for another dump. 6) ALways end with a question - who is the guy relaxing in the deckchair by the river?

Sinister: Monday Poem
by Cassell Professional Publishing 14 Sep '98

14 Sep '98

Hi kids The delightful Debbie volunteered me at virtual gunpoint to post this week's verse. Problem is, I had a bit of a bad experience with poetry when I was 17 (blame Sylvia Plath), and ever since, I've never been able to take it seriously. So all I know are silly poems, like this one: A girl I once knew had a theory That she was of Irish descent Her name was Fionna O'Leary So I guess that she knew what she meant Fionna and I become lovers In a chapel one Sunday in Hull It wasn't that we were attracted It was just that the sermon was dull She loved me because I was honest I loved her because she was fat She shed thirty pounds so I slept around You can't get more honest than that The relationship finished with fireworks On March the fifth, just before nine If Guy Fawkes had been four months later This might be a better last line I hope this satisfies your craving for verse. Incidentally, on the seagull/eagle front, my hearing must be worse than I thought. I always assumed that Isobel was declaring her support for Liverpool Football Club: If there was a Friedel Would you love me as a Riedle? No, maybe not...

Sinister: Like bees round honey.
by babyblu＠gold.globalcafe.co.uk 14 Sep '98

Blimey! I managed to get TWATTYBUS (nice acronym Seb, cheers) piped through the weedy P.A. at work for the first time on Saturday and blow me if, during the strains of 'Ease your feet..', a list member didn't pop his round the poetry section and introduce himself (Hi John!) Is this a universal principle? Does the album contain subliminal message of a frequency only Sinisterites can hear? Does this act as a clarion call, forcing us to flock to the point of broadcast against our will? If so then everyone back to mine tonight for a game of filthy scrabble. You *will* be there. Oh yes. Is anyone whose off to the NY gigs likely to be around those parts on October 20-25th? Myself and my Linda are going to the Big Cucumber for a week or so and would love to meet up with any NY listtes or anyone going to the November gigs very, very early.
