Sinister: too shy shy
by James 01 Feb '99

01 Feb '99

Hello girls and boys Well, I've just got back from a long weekend in York (very long actually, it started on Wednesday), where I saw my friend play her first gig in her fabby band Carolyn. Before I went I gave it a quick plug on the list but I'm sure none of you remember that. Anyway while I was there I kept on seeing a cute Belle and Sebastian boy in a Stowe t-shirt and a duffle coat and some squarey specs and I wanted to go and say hello but I was just too shy, so I didn't. And then me and Melanie got silly on red wine and after giggling and falling and bouncing we drooped and moaned and wept because we like shy boys (she has a shy boy too who's tall and lovely but too shy), but we're shy too and so much pining happens and little else. This was just a bit of my life I wanted to share with you. If the cute York Belle and Sebastian boy is reading this sorry for labelling you shy - I've never even met you. But you looked shy. Doozer constructions are made out of potato starch. The Bonnie 'Prince' Billy album is the most dark and beautiful thing you are likely to hear for a long time. Thats all.

Sinister: Nick Drake TV programme
by David Moore 31 Jan '99

31 Jan '99

Hi Sinister Sisters & Brothers, Apologies for this being nothing to do with our Beloved, but there is a programme about the life of Nick Drake on BBC2 at 23:15 tomorrow (Tuesday). I still love the 4 song fragment of the Black Sessions that R1 broadcast: great clear sound, just like the band are really playing in my car, no standing on tiptoes just to see - really pooh that they didn't transmit the rest. (Sigh) Maybe one day - perhaps after they win an award on the Brits?

Sinister: Lucidity
by Blake E. Hamilton 31 Jan '99

31 Jan '99

Fellow happy ones-- A nice boy that lives down the hall from me today walked into my room while I was playing that sweet and precious horn solo from Beautiful. He wanted to know if my parents were hippies. When I said no he asked me why I was such a hipster. He then asked me "What kind of music is this?". I told him it was hippie music and he left. Oh well. I am wearing my Mod shirt, modeled for the Who tour the year before last. Lots of people ask me why I wear a target on my chest. I say it's so people can point me out in a crowd. Then they look at me funny and kinda smirk. Do any Sinister folk live near Winston Salem, North Carolina? I go to Wake Forest and the day I find a neato B&S boy or girl to talk is the day the endowment drops below 6 billions trusty trinkets. Anyone think it's possible to be too shy and sensitive? love to you all, blake ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- I'm sorry like atari... "We try harder and harder, tryin' to get our way, but it's a long, long wait until Judgement Day. So settle your affairs and take your time, for everything in the world is yours and mine. Yours and mine." --Pete Townshend, '68 "I'm looking back and I can't see the past anymore, so hazy. I'm on a track and I'm travelling so fast, oh for sure I'm crazy. I will be immersed, queen of the fucking universe, and i don't know what i have anymore, anymore than you do." --Pete Townshend, '80 +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Hello sweeties, Steps rule. Get the video tape now, where else can you find exclusive makeup tips, cooking and being careful with the tins and of course the Dance Routines, easy to rewind and learn, impress your friends and ameliorate your social life (which is bound to be quite poor if you are Stan the sensitive one). Tigermilk sightings are ever so often in secondhand record shops. I know you would like you to have it, but you don't want it. Or something.

Sinister: Set your videos (if you like Nick Drake)!!
by ar981611＠student.paisley.ac.uk 31 Jan '99

31 Jan '99

Don't think anyone else has mentioned this, but for those of you in Britain, and interested, BBC2 are showing a documentary about Nick Drake on Monday night at 11.15pm. That's all. No cheap shots at anyone, no "amusing" character assassinations, no mention of underwear or what music I think we should all be listening to. Or failed attempts to imitate the style of vastly over-rated authors. I like people too much to be nasty about them/insult their intelligence. I don't belong here any more, do I? It's been nice knowing you all (well most of you). Those who wish to continue mailing me privately, please do so. I shall be lurking in the archives from time to time, and I may come back in due course. But for now, life is too short to waste on cheap humour, so "unsubscribe sinister" it is. Prettiness, not pettiness, kids. Remember that.

Sinister: evie sands
by polanski 31 Jan '99

31 Jan '99

being one of the sole listees here in the low countries, i was just chuffed to find out that evie sands plays the paradiso in amsterdam on 11 february, along with songwriter chip taylor. my question to anyone (tag, this means you as well...), is it worth making the trip up? the tickets are only about four quid, so that's not a concern... so, who is familiar with her work a bit and could describe it loosely to me? always keen on making new discoveries... cheers for now, alex http://come.to/polanski http://www.tobin.demon.nl +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Boo Radleys split
by Koen 31 Jan '99

31 Jan '99

It's only natural, bands have a lifespan too, but still I feel saddened by the end of the Boos. Some might say they should have called it a day earlier, but I feel the follow-up to Kingsize could have been a masterpiece. Oh well, at least they've left us Giant Steps and Wake Up!, two of the most beautiful albums of the 90's. Sorry for the non B&S content, but I had to share this news, and I suspect there are some (closet) Boo lovers on this list. http://members.tripod.com/~workshy/index.htm Koen +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: my third 'real' party [in washington dc] mildly b+s related
by lost madflowr 31 Jan '99

31 Jan '99

oddest night. thought i would tell the sinister ones about it. dun think the RHML could handle it at the moment. ha! tonight i went to my third party where people were drinking. sort of funny being poison-free (sXe without the edge to it). it was my friend nathan's 27th birthday party. he's a doll. it was quite nice. as i said...third party. first was in the summer in long island with a wonderful girl called karyn who i dearly love and she has not rang me back in a week or so. not so nice of a feeling. it was a night of stupid frat boys playing beer pong in her friend's backyard and after we helped her friend clean up. during the party we played radiohead really loud and people were like 'man, play the new beasties record' and we were like 'no.' and it was settled. nice. oh. party number two was 31 dec 1998/1 jan 1999. it was spur of the moment and brad, martin, and i were bored and i remembered that a sort of friend dominika had asked me to her party so i rang her and she told us to rush over, which we did. it was rather silly and lots of people i knew from high school were really tipsy and the musical choices were like janis joplin and jimi hendrix. i did not have much fun but it was new years. party number three was nice. oh so nice. i don't know if any of you sinisters are from washington, dc...but i am. well i'm from a suburb but still...i am way close. this party was at nathan's on t street in NW. nice cozy townhouse deal. dc scenesters all over the place. the same people i saw the night before at blonde redhead at the black cat. hehe. nathan is a lawyer, but he can throw a par-tay. lots of good food, mostly vegan/vegetarian. cos what else would scenesters eat? heh-heh. i bet at least one person on sinister was at nathan's party. that would be funny. anyways, the party was nice. this band played that was the name of the girl who played and her name has completely slipped my mind. sloppy in there u know. hmm. anyways, i had been waiting forthe phone to ring for about an hour when it finally did and it was natalia saying to come pick her nate, and nancy up...i left immediately, hopped on 395 north and was on my way to dc. i swear whenever heading into dc i want the petula clark song 'downtown' to blast, but it has only came on the radio once on my way there. so appropriate. got to par-tay at like 11 cos there was NO parking anywhere around. we ended up parking at R and 15th i believe. insane. walk walk walk. nice amount of people were there. 40? some number. it's always some number, you know. i have decided that i do not like the song 'the gate'. i just don't. hmm... there were lots of non-alcoholic things to drink as well. i told nathan to get me like a coke, but he got loads of nice stuff. V8 anyone? it remained untouched. lots of indie rock boys with the aforementioned(on the list) glasses. nice nice very nice i say/said. this boy johan was there. i crushed on him so very badly last year at george mason univ. i saw him sitting alone at the fountain a number of times and one time i looked up from reading a book and there he was next to me and i could not muster up a thing to say. how sad. anyhow, he was there. and john was there too joking with me about how he was going to introduce me to johan. not funny. there is a nice nice band from sweden? i believe called johan. they were on the spin art sampler a few years back. mm. but in any case, we were all dancing. to wonderful tunes. really. the guy who was selecting music got a really good mix and great stuff was played. suede, b+s, the stone roses, spiritualized [who are better on record than live imho], elliot smith...good tunes. incidentally everyone i have ever asked has never heard of mr. scruff. .j On off the list told me to listen to them and wow, i'm hooked. yeah. but that was a sidenote. if i were to write novels half of them would be footnotes and sidenotes. this dee jay guy played tons of b+s. cos me, natalia, nathan, rick, nancy, and scenesters there all danced around and sang all the lyrics. wow that was neat. i am used to saying 'wow, i love b+s' and someone saying 'who?' good stuff. anyhow, i am quite tired. it is 4:17 am. my brother has like a TON of people in the basement cos our parents were out of town tonight celebrating their anniversary. wow. so i think there was drinking. i can't be sure. i scurried in quite quickly cos my brother is embarassed by me. he says 'she likes _______ that no one has ever heard of,' to describes the films and the bands that i like. blah. i wonder how long this hyena girl will be laughing. i just wrote this in #permanent_daylight the radiohead chatroom on DALnet for anyone who cares... <madflowr> there is some ho laughing downstairs. <madflowr> like a hyena. <madflowr> i hope she chokes on beer. err. i am not usually that mean, but she does laugh like a hyena. 4:20 am. eww. 'this is just a sorry lament...we're four boys in our courdoroys, we're not terrific but we're competent.' okay. hello if there are any dc kids out there. maybe you were at nathan's partay. heee. anyways, if you are in dc, go see sloan at the black cat on 6 february. i should buy my ticket just to assure that i get in. cos i love em. ooh lala. third time seeing them hopefully. actually second and half cos i left early when i saw them in baltimore cos i had to chill with symposium who i miss so much. err. err. sorry. i will not missthem at this time of night. good night. thank you for reading the drivel. i suppose the point is that belle and sebastian really made this party experience nice. like they were there. isobel and the stuarts just sitting there and making me feel nice and warm. and like i belonged. and i don't even wear glasses. hmm well the boys wear em more than the girls do, but my glasses are not nice. *scratches her eyes* contacts are a pain though. alright, good night. hello. good morning. evolmadflowr now taking dc hipster lessons from johan and they're cheap.;) ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
