Sinister: colour cds just aren't the same as coloured vinyl
by Vic 27 Jan '99

27 Jan '99

Weird feeling being back in the boosom of the list after almost 4 months of exile. Having email at home is strange, after a long hard day at work, all energy goes into reading emails, so there's none left by the time you get round to writing them. And it's a bit horrible not having email at work, less opportunities for skiving, which means having to do more work, and therefore feeling even more exhausted after battling with the crowds on the Victoria line and outside Brixton station. God what a hard life I lead, not. Has anyone heard of Silverchair? (I think that's what they're called, Ozzie band) My colleague has been desperately trying to get someone to go to their gig in London next month, and I'd go without listening to them, only I don't feel that well off, as it isn't particularly cheap, and her taste in music is a little 'different' from mine, so any opinions would be much appreciated. However, I had such good fun with her last night in Walkabout (Ozzie bar) last night for Australia day that I might just go for the laugh. Although the all day hangover wasn't too fantastic, and the fact that I did the pissed thing of going round to the boyfriends to talk crap for 5 mins and then fall asleep, only to wake him up in the middle of the night and talk even more crap for 50 mins keeping him awake, and insisting on leaving the light on all night, generally pissing him off (probably), sorry Mark! Lots of gorgeous blokes, any single women in London should get themselves down to an Australian bar pronto, although I've been informed that most are rather chauvinistic. One of the worst things about getting older is the hangovers and inability to party hard without feeling a thing. Those were the days..... Does anyone know if Tigermilk is being re-released on vinyl? I'm fretting cos I'm so anal I have to have all the recordings of a band on the same format. Although it is becoming increasingly hard to do. But it would look a lot nicer on the shelf, and the b&S records are almost taking up as much room as the entire Beatles albums, cos the sleeves are nice and thick, which is nice. oh dear Hefner (of Halfner as the talented bastard wittily pointed out) were fantastic on Friday, I'm going to have to take my Virgin vouchers in tomorrow, and see how much of their back catalogue I can exchange them for, and see if Aphex Twin's Ambient works vol. 1 thingie is being offered at a reasonable price. Nearly finished, just want to ask about the tape tree, and whether we could possibly try and resuscitate it, or failing that, get our tapes back, cos I didn't make a copy of mine (fool!) Poor Kevan, it was a wonderful idea, he put so much work into it (probably) and we failed him. We should be hanging our heads in shame. Right, byee, Vicky +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Dress Like the STars!!!
by rebelstrange＠ldd.net 27 Jan '99

27 Jan '99

ok ok......i shouldnt'' post this morning cos i KNOW i'll be antsy to spout off some more as soon as i get more digests today and tomorrow....but i could not restrain myself from this mirth....... Sensitive Stan, you are my list crush. if only half the boys in the rainy rainy wee world could be as sensitive as you, maybe things would be different for girls like me...... *sigh* i'm sure that even sweeeet Isobel would swoon for a lad so exceedingly well, sensitive. Call me converted, hallelujah i have seen the light. I'm sitting at home alone too. i never go out. I'll be your favorite friend if you want me to. oh god. you dont' know how that made my day. =D my gut hurts. now where is mrs murdoch? she and Stan will be the messiahs of this embattled list, mark my words. Riddle me this: the miraculous Tuff jess has performed yet another miracle. i hope i dont' embarrass her by telling about it. but in DC we saw Stuart M and Richard wearing tshirts from Athens' WUXTRY RECORDS. they were very funny and had a guy in a bowler hat with a cigar. we marveled. it was ironic. last night i opened a package from Tuff Jess, and pulled out.............a WUXTRY RECORDS shirt. just like the Stars wear!! Now i'm dressing in style, like Stuart Murdoch, this year's model. can you belive it? only one person i know is ridiculous enough to go through all that trouble. *sigh* we will rule the world. yes yes Jessicaxo. we ALL want a fuzzy tiger bonnet, including but not restricted to you and I. if anyone knows if they still make those, i'll pay dearly for one, if only to have a ridiculous larf with it. so is that stu david singing on paper boat?? it is seventies. ech i mean they're not horrible, but...... I only like lord anthony cos it's about a snot-nosed boy who gets beat up, and stuart sings really girly and high in it. i'm not hard to please. in 10 years stu could be rewriting his 18th version of the Lonely Librarian song, just giveing her a different twee name each time. and i'd buy it, and sit in my room and cry and think it was the greatest thing. "oh stuart, you do feel my lonely rainy pain!!" I guess i'm just sensitive like that. I can't help it. now dont' ask me for any more dates, i simply can't handle the pressures of such a wild social life. i'll have to beat you all off with an ugly stick. fluffysarah, no bad feelings! you are a master of the doggerel couplet. teletubbies are a surrealist fantasy if ever was one. my friend kate is obsessed with Po. Hello Kitty oppresses women!!!! lesleyjo http://www.members.tripod.com/rebelstrange "I'm a piece of crap that the world revolves around." +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

by Seamus Harte 27 Jan '99

27 Jan '99

Hello lovely list. sorry for that mess i made with the send button the other day, lets never speak of it again. this will be short , as i have to go watch tottenham-wimbledon again. do any of yous remember a song (i think it was called caroline, i thought it was by snuff , it used to be played on the evening session all the time ,) i have checked websites and enough record shops but it seems i have have come up with this song myself , hey i might even release it . whats will oldham like i have a chance to see him under the guise of bonnie prince billie , (god another artist beginning with b , i reckon that i could survive for a good while listening only to music beginning with b) oh, and its not that i think radiohead are particularly bad , its just that everyone here in ireland seemed to think that they were like gods gift to compact discs, i dont like to boast in any way , but just to be informative,( god hardly any of my new friends in college know this, but, hey it never came i didnt make a secret of it either though) I was there july12th in the stade de france in paris at the world cup final ( most surreal experience of my life partly because i was more concernede for brazil's fortune than half of the french were for france's) it was (believe or not) an anti-climax after the truimpant craotians the nigth before how did i get tickets? you see my brother is one of the kind people at uefa.com I dont particularly love travis its just that the singer has the greatest voice and i love all i wanna do is rock oh and people listing good american bands i would like to include Jonathan Fire Eater you have to like the name if nothing else and someone mentioned iancollins being on at 12 well its at 1 just in case someone caught that prat that bes on before him and a great phrase from that said show: 'on the wonk' meaning crazy or not functioning correctly eg that printer's on the wonk anyway have to go now PS does anyone else spent all wednesday morning singing dog's got a bone by the beta band just because it has that wednesday morning line in it ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Too Busy Thinkin' 'Bout My Rodcam...
by PJMiller 27 Jan '99

27 Jan '99

....and I ain't got time for nuthin' else. Except sorting out a great Sinister Mystery, as is my wont from time to time. REPENT! The other day, Monday to be exact, I wished Paul a very happy Saint Paul's Day, and all hell broke loose becasue Saint Paul's Day is in July. I am ashamed to say I was wrong. Monday was not Saint Paul's Day, it was Saint Paul's Conversion Day, which I believe happened on the Damascus ring-road, or was that Saul? Frankly my dear, the important thing is this - Paul was stuffing his "cakehole" with cake when technically he should have been celebrating Saint Paul's Conversion Day by stuffing his "bumhole" down the British Protection in the company of list legend Hugh! Paul, you'll have to "rectify" your mistake somehow. RODPENT! Please remember that the Roddcam is run on BORROWED resources, so if too many of you spend too much time ogling at his melancholy keyboard technique, it might explode. The Rodddcam is very special, and a little bit delicate, so treat it with care. RODHOBBY! I've been thinking about Keith's Konundrum, and I've decided that the following people would be shouting "LONG OG!" after a victorious game of "garnished biscuit": Judging by what I've read, you'd have to go a long way to beat Little Richard. Roland Gift would be rubbish, but the bloke with the bendy legs would keep the Fine Young Cannibals flag flying. All trombone players would be a safe bet, as would Rimsky Korsikov, who wrote "The Flight of the Bumble Bee" and invented the helicopter. Noddy Holder would surely be successful on the strength of will power and grimacing alone. On the losing side would be former Sheffield steel worker Joe Cocker, the guys from Kraftwerk, Robert Wyatt, Bez from the Happy Mondays, and (on purpose) Marc Almond, formerly of Soft Cell. POP RODSURRECTION! I still don't believe this Evie Sands business. I woke up this morning convinced I'd been dreaming, but then who would have such a freaky dream? People from all over the world, well, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Balfour, converging on Hyndland Church Hall to hear one of the greatest singers in the history of the world*, who's probably spent the last thirty-five years sitting on her front porch smelling of cat widdle. Amazing! I hope someone's going to interview her properly. Tag, you're a vastly experienced journalist, you do it. I'd like that.

Sinister: thats not really what I meant

Robert Morris wrote: >I have to interject here and say that I'm quite tired of "there are no >good bands in America" thing. i didnt mean that at all. Im just saying that recently all of the records I've bought have been non-american, and I really liked them. But of course, Beck, the Beasties, Pavement, = all great! Also, didnt you notice that 2 out of the 4 records I listed as my current favorites were american? Money Mark? He was the ball-boy for the LA Lakers as a kid! (and if thats not American, i dont know what is.) And, REM, of course. Yes there's going to be crap put out in every country, but it just seems like the crap is a whole lot more popular and the good stuff is not as popular as it seems to be in England. and also, the tape tree sounds like a great idea. i've done them before for other bands, and they worked out great. And even after its all done, the tree can be posted online somewhere with emails, and it provides a good way for non-tree people to get a hold of the tape, too.

hi list, the re-issue of "tigermilk" will have exactly the same tracks as before and will be mastered for CD and the vinyl will be remastered. as far as the artwork goes, i dunno, depends on what stuart decides in the morning on his way to symington's. so, in conclusion, available on cd + lp, 10 tracks just like before but maybe sounding a little better. bye bye, Katrina. oh ... p.s. - do you honestly think we have heard any tracks from the sessions for the new album??? in our dreams ... -- ************************************************************************ jeepster recordings ltd. - mailto:a-and-r@jeepster.co.uk 217 canalot, 222 kensal road, london, w10 5bn, uk phone - 0181 964 9432, fax - 0181 964 8600 http://www.jeepster.co.uk +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: I love it when everything fits into place.
by weejay 27 Jan '99

27 Jan '99

Hello my bouncy chums. How's life? Don't bother replying to that, I'm just making meaningless chit-chat. Yes, it is very rare to see any kind of MLS parahenalia in Southampton. HMV may have a 7" box but theres no indie record shop in the whole region! And I've raided that box already. This isn't the kind of place for a fop at all to tell you the truth - way too many shopping centres and Ben- sherman fitted townies... What have MLS been doing recently then? Have they found a new label? I saw them at Glastonbury and they had a really good new song called "If you can't live without me... (then why aren't you dead yet)" which brightened up the miserable friday morning. Oh, and Robert Moriss said: > All Saints, Robbie Williams, > Gomez, Travis, Embrace, Catatonia et al get mentions as > examples of "only in England crap." Hmmmmmn...... I don't want to get into a fight, but Gomez and Catatonia arent that bad really - hardly offensive. And travis are alright live. Does someone else want to defend them?.. I'm not a big fan really. I quite like Paper Boat too. Am I indiscriminate or what? Lesley Jo (I accidentally wrote Isobel there, make of that what you will) whispered shamefully: "stuart would make a cute girl i think, i''d look forward to that." You really think so??? Links in with a very disturbing nightmare I had last night, way too disgusting to even think about. Too late. Anyway, why is it that it's fine for girls to be all coy and shy but not for me, eh? Humph. http://members.tripod.com/~meltingsnow/ <-- this site is way too good, and has been distracting me all day. Guess what I got in the post yesterday... give up? A small, blue 'Study At Stow" shirt. I cannot tell you how overjoyed I am at this wonderful news, and I'll be showing it off to my friends in the next few weeks. love, james xxxxxxxxx "Across the mountains of your chest, through the holes in your string vest" Inane rambling, manic rants, funky piccies, pointless tables, self indulgence, emetic colouring...
