Sinister: Web orders for Boston show
by ken_davis＠putnaminv.com 29 Sep '98

29 Sep '98

For those of you who do not live particularly close to Boston, and don't have a reliable boyfriend's mommy to buy you tickets...another option is available. You can make credit card orders at: http://www.mideastclub.com (click on tickets) I had to send a followup e-mail to get my confirmation, but it was much easier than travelling into Cambridge to buy tickets. Cheers Ken Davis - who would be in big trouble with his wife if he had a boyfriend, who's mommy was buying him B&S tix +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Oct. 5 French Radio Session
by Brier Random 29 Sep '98

29 Sep '98

Hellooooooo! Could someone tell me how to set up my computer to hear the French radio session on Oct. 5? I don't want to miss it. Only reply if you are a bit patient and don't mind taking a minute to explain HOW TO DO THIS. I went to the radio station's website and it didn't help. With gratitude that will outlast the smile on the Mona Lisa, Brier

Sinister: Etc, as usual
by Reid Dossinger 29 Sep '98

29 Sep '98

Well, I've gone and lost the carefully cut-and-ready-to-be-pasted quote (it took hours) that I had re: the vinyl being 150 gram. But there you go, subject introduced. According to the little sticker on the outside of the vinyl I bought, it is 150 gram vinyl, so Matador ain't lyin'. But then again, I not exactly an expert on these things, so the wool could be far over my eyes by now. I'd just like to second this: > Incidentally, I won't go on about this, but when I > keep seeing posts where the word "twee" is used as a compliment? It > isn't - it's an insult, and certainly not something to aspire to. > Excuses that the word is being used "ironically" or being reclaimed as a > weapon against an uncaring world don't wash with me, I'm afraid. > Hear, hear, rah, rah, go team. Thank you. So I get my new copy of CMJ today and there's a nice little article about the shocking fact that Belle and Sebastian aren't touring. For the most part, the article is the same as the others...won't do interviews, near-religious following, blah blah blah. But it does mention us. It quotes Stevie as saying, "I just wasn't sure that the songs (on The Boy...) were as good or something. But to be honest with you, whenever we make a record, I kind of get depressed about it. Because I just think it could be a lot better." Then it says: "Some of the Belle and Sebastian's fans agree. Internet lists devoted to the band are ablaze with claims that for some reason it left its best songs off the record, that it's selling out, that the title of the set's first song is some sort of self-fufilling prophecy." Let's start at the beginning. THE Belle and Sebastian?! Oh, that's good. Secondly, are there any other lists besides this one? And I can see the "best songs" comment, but who's said anything about "It Could Have Been a Brilliant Career" being a self-fulfilling prophecy?! Whoever it is, c'mere so I can give you a swift kick in the pants. It's already BEEN a brilliant career, and I think there are very, very few people on this list who would say otherwise. And if staying on a tiny indie label rather than jumping ship to a major, turning over 1/3 of the songwriting to other band members and not releasing a single is considered to be "selling out", then we as a people are surely, shirley doomed. I had something else to say, but lucky you, I forgot.

Sinister: my so-called life (fwd)
by Jessica Murphy 29 Sep '98

29 Sep '98

Ooh, let me clarify! I did *not* mean, by singling out one great music-related moment of "My So-Called Life," to suggest that any other moment of the series is less wonderful. I love the whole show from start to finish, and I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't already caught the reruns of that one too-short, long-ago season. And the "soundtrack" CD from the show is decent, even if it doesn't include the Violent Femmes. There, I've come full circle. jessica m ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 28 Sep 1998 21:42:09 EDT From: TopBanana1(a)aol.com >One of the best moments from the whole short-lived series "My So-Called >Life" was Claire Danes' character dancing and singing along with the >Femmes' "Blister in the Sun" in front of her bedroom mirror. ahhhhhhhh, i love that part... i dont care what other people say about my so-called life, that its cheesy etc, it reminds me of my own bubble. i live in a really thick bubble. im a silly naive girl. i really do think so. just need to get off my chest what a retard i am. love again shirley ________________ <a href="http://members.aol.com/topbanana1/index.html"> Shirley Brahas Homepage </a> ________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: another NY enquiry
by TFertig3＠aol.com 29 Sep '98

29 Sep '98

I hate to do this, but... I've got a couple questions about the NY shows. 1. My sister told me it is +21, in which case I'm in deep shit with two extra tickets. I certainly hope it is not. I called the Supper Club and a wacked out girl told me she thought it was. So, is it? David, Katrina?? 2. Is the Nov 2 show completely and utterly sold out?? 3. If so, does anyone (I know this has been asked about a billion times already...) have 2 extra tickets for the Nov 2 show? Or know where I can get two? Someone, enlighten me!

Sinister: hurdy, hurdy, hurdy
by Michael 28 Sep '98

28 Sep '98

>Regular viewers will be aware of my long-standing obsession with all >things Swedish, and Stockholm in particular. On a kinda related note... Apart from Bjork & the Cardigans the only Scandinavian bands that seem to get any coverage here are the death metal sort. However, I've got a couple of albums by other viking-sorts that are pretty good. Can any Scandinavians (or just generally clued-on people) recommend any others worth checking out? Cheers, Michael PS >If anyone has any old analogue Pez that they need duplicated in digital >form, I was going to ask anyone if they'd seen the POBO awards, but thought that was taking a bad joke too far.
