Sinister: Misheard Lyrics
by Crooker, Matthew 11 Sep '98

11 Sep '98

Is it just me or does the line: "It's not fun to watch the rust grow" (from Is It Wicked Not to Care?) sound like: "It's not fun to watch the Ross Perot" A steady diet of allergy pills and Nyquil have me hearing an array of strange and wonderful things.

Sinister: And the Rodddddney's are queueing up God Forbid
by Keith Watson 11 Sep '98

11 Sep '98

Have you lot heard about the current carry on with the Manics' single, it seems that everyone including the Manics reckon that it sounds exactly like the Stranglers' Duchess. I can't see it personally but mentioning it does allow me to attempt a "comedy" subject line. Duchess is a top song though, and I even quite like the Manics one too, it seems to have a tune. Good move Manics! I've got a bloody great cold at the moment unfortunately, probably due to the systematic and self-inflicted destruction of my immune system whilst on holiday. Sleeping in a flower bed probably didn't help too much either. David really ought to have got a photograph of that. But for all that, I'm bloody glad he didn't. Incidentally, as has already "bean" pointed out, the bloke on the cover of the record is CHRIS GEDDES. For those of you reading in HTML readers, hopefully that'll be clear and not need stated again. Also, a great big thankyou to Mr.Peter Miller for his kind gift of a tape. It's a lovely collection of funky stuff (like Seb, except with stuff instead) and weird sort of croony people. I like the version of Be thankful for what you've got. Is the William De Vaughn version the original, it's set me in doubt. I especially like the great Marvin Gaye tracks. They rule, in the way Mr.Gaye generally does. Oh and Peter, it's probably not work the money for the UNKLE album, it's not really that great, it isn't as good as DJ Shadow on the whole. However, I'd disagree with Mr.Fitchett when he points out in his e-zine that DJ Shadow hasn't really move on creatively from What does your soul look like?... I mean, how do you define that? HIgh Noon is certainly a departure, and I can't see many people who do make as radical a break from their general style as that. I still think Mr.Shadow is one of the best blokes of the 90's. I think seen as there are no more UK dates immediately planned by the way we should all arrange some form of meet up somewhere. What do people reckon the chances are of us being able to get the lot of us (or at least as many people from all over the UK - and obviously any non-residents who want to come too) in one place? Right, off to bed for me. Cheers, Keith. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Rufus
by MATTHEW WIMBURY 11 Sep '98

11 Sep '98

Yeah hi all......can someone please remind me of some of the things that were said on here about Rufus Wainwright when his album appeared and whether it was generally liked or not because I've just managed to get myself a free copy of it and I'm all excited about listening to it now. Oooh perks of the job and all that.....

the more I listen to Seymour Stein, the more it reminds me of Frank Zappa.

Sinister: Background
by Marco Braca 11 Sep '98

11 Sep '98

Hi sinisters , in b&s 's cover there's a leading theme : the colour of background (vanished) : red (if you are feeling sinister) , white ( 3...6...9 seconds of light) , yellowish (dog on wheels) , violet ( lazy line painter Jane) , green ( the boy with the arab strap). There's a reason or it's a coincidence. In any case is original and wonderful,too.

Sinister: I LOVE "Rollercoaster ride"
by Julien Bo�ldieu 11 Sep '98

11 Sep '98

Hello everyone ! I've got a few questions, suggestions or observations : 1. When Stevie sings on "Seymour Stein" : "He reminded you of Johnny Before he went Electronic" does he mean Johnny Marr ? 2. Although I'm used to listening it billions of times a day since saturday, I only noticed this morning the piano in the final of "Dirty dream #2". Great moment. 3. "If you're feeling sinister" lasts the right time : neither too long nor too short. "The boy with the Arab strap" is to me too short. 4. Don't you think that Belle and Sebastian should write and play an whole album for Morrissey (which has not sung a single good song since the marvelous "Vauxhall and I", ie 1994), another one for David Bowie and one more for Lou Reed ? 5. I don't know why lots of people complain of "The rollercoaster ride" : too long, too monotonous, etc. Mmmm... What they need is a REAL rollercoaster ride ! Am I the only one who thinks that it's not a good but a GREAT song, one of the greatest in the album, just perfect as it is ? Write me and join the Association for the "Rollecoaster ride" defence !!!!!!!! 6. "Awful" by Hole (on the new album) is beautiful. And Melissa Auf der Maur absolutely charming.

Sinister: You are stuck to your sheets
by Reid 11 Sep '98

11 Sep '98

My official responses to various points of Sinister Digest V2 #341. The press has been notified. > anyone not bought 3 copies yet? ... :) > I bought two (one for car, one for bedroom) and all of my friends thought that was pretty funny. I'm glad to hear that maybe buying more than one isn't really that unusual. Of course, something tells me that our good friend Katrina hasn't bought *any* copies. ;) > Am I the only one who thinks that it's not a good but a GREAT song, > one of > the greatest in the album, just perfect as it is ? Write me and join the > Association for the "Rollecoaster ride" defence !!!!!!!! > I'm definitely in that club. Before the album came out, I wondered why Chickfactor and Rollercoaster Ride were so low in the voting booth. Now, Chickfactor I can understand. It's not bad, just not as wonderful as the rest of the stuff. But Rollercoaster ride is one of my favorites. It's a good song to get tucked into bed to.
