Sinister: a quick word
by Honey 26 Jan '99

26 Jan '99

I've said a million times that I don't consider the goodness or badness of content on the list a topic for discussion - it's guaranteed to bring the list down in a succession of "stop posting crap, it's not crap, who are you to say, why shouldn't I?" messages that flood every mailing list from time to time, and usually results in a worse mailing list then when you "tried" to correct it. If anyone wants to discuss list content, be responsible and politely mail the people who you feel are sinning privately, (and accept the consquences) or talk to me about it. Otherwise we all end up our own backsides, which in most cases, is not where we wish to be. I don't consider THIS mail a topic for discussion on the list either :) If necessary I'll take action to stop this sort of galloping deterioration and you may encounter THE BLACK HOLE. honey xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Screen test with Michael Roddd
by Mctaggart, Robert 26 Jan '99

26 Jan '99

Dear Diary, People have been complaining about the list, I see. Not me. I'm the nice young man you can take home to mother. "Rodddcam". Is there any sweeter word in the English language? I haven't seen it myself yet, but the idea of bringing Rodd instantly into my living room makes me want to buy a better computer. What an age we live in! I hope he isn't really sad though. Shall we all send him a card? A dozen red roses? A kissogram? We can all tune into Roddcam, and watch his face light up as she comes in the room and gives him a big snog. I got a kissogram once, when I left the washing up job I had when I was 17. My fellow workers clubbed together enough money to buy a drink for some pissed bloke in the bar and tell him to go in the kitchen and grab my arse. He took his job far too seriously and kept following me to the gents and making "improper suggestions". Is it true that Chris Lynyrd is playing at Po Kaff? I hope you're all going to go and throw underwear at him. I know I certainly am.

Sinister: My B&S BBC-sessions tape died yesterday!
by Sebastian Fonzeus 26 Jan '99

26 Jan '99

Hi everybody out there! I'm really sorry to clutter the list with this request, but this is really urgent for me! Yesterday I popped my B&S BBC-sessions tape into the tape-deck of my stereo and just a few seconds into the slow version of "Seeing Other People" it snapped! And I was like "oh no oh no, this can't be happening"! Anyway, so I would really really really like to get ahold of those sessions again and while I'm at it I might as well ask if anyone has got the recordings I don't have. So here it goes, is anyone out there willing to tape me (complete versions of) the following stuff? * Radio 1 Mark Radcliffe Show [July 1996 - 4 songs] * Radio 1 Mark Radcliffe Show [December 1996 - 4 songs] * Radio 1 Evening Session [July 1997 - 4 songs] * Radio 1 Evening Session [Bus Tour mini-session - 1 song] * Radio Scotland - Peter Easton's "Beat Patrol" [December 1997 - 3 songs] * Radio France - The Black Sessions [October 1998 - 13 songs] The ones I had before were crappy 4th or 5th generation copies so if anyone has got low-generation good-sounding copies of all of the above sessions (and willing to tape them for me), I would be delighted if you'd like to e-mail me. I guess that's it. Once again, I apologize for this totally uninteresting post. I just had to make this request. I hope it's not to much to ask for? If it is, then please forgive me. And by the way, I think it's absolutely great that "Tigermilk" finally is being re-released! It's such a great record and everybody should be able to listen to it! Have a real cool time! /Sebastian ------------------------------------------------------------ e-mail: pushkings(a)swipnet.se THE PUSH KINGS: http://listen.to/pushkings/ THE HELLACOPTERS: http://www.houseofkicks.se/hellacopters/ ------------------------------------------------------------ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: "All videos are vile...."
by Jordi Trenzano i Vilar 26 Jan '99

26 Jan '99

.... Said Morrissey at the 1984 NMEŽs Poll. But yesterday, at the spanish satellite tv 40 TV they showed "Is it wicked not to care ?". Before, the presenter said that B&S are one of the best bands of the nineties. It was the first time that I saw the CocteauŽs words and the first smile from Isobel. They also showed videos form Cane 141, Hefner and New Order. My question is if there is a video for "a century of fakers". and I also would like to know who is the girl who appears at the TIJAMRS video. I agree with Sandra: if you come to Barcelona, you should go to the gothic part. Really nice and with good bars. Mr.Miller, will you send me the tape from the New York show ? ================================================== Jordiet ================================================== Tu E-Mail Gratis en http://www.olemail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: let's all clap together.
by J. MURTAGH 26 Jan '99

Hiya man/ woman/ inbetweeners I listen to Ian Collins on Talk Radio and he is very good. Hmm how factual of me. Anyway, I think Miff is a cool bloke and very funny. What happened to Sarah is she out now? Talk Radio. 1053 1089 am 12 ONWARDS. Anyway, I'm the bloke who said the list was shit. Well that's what a few people are saying. I didn't actually say that the list was shit, because that just sounds like I'm being indescriminate and moany. No. What I actually said was that the list is becoming a pain to read, because of people who do Dear Diary and it's usually too long. I don't hate them nothing personal but it's well . . cak and boring and all the other stuff. And don't even bother with that old routine of ganging up on me because there are loads of people on this list who think the same way In fact it's quite strange because the people who have said "leave it aat !" are in fact the very people who do very. . . . long. . . . messages. So hurrah for me and my iconoclasm and subversive messages, I aint gonna bow down to any long message people. Take a hint read the lovely sweet, mellifluous and SHORT messages of Mew and Claire.

Sinister: We're not adult oriented
by Mark Casarotto 26 Jan '99

26 Jan '99

Mew said: Is it just me being crazy or is 23 going on 24 starting to sound old? I'm so used to feeling young (in my family, at school...) and it is so weird to realize that I'm not really. Also, I see all these people doing cool things (music, acting, sports) who are so young and it just makes me feel old and that I've wasted time! Damn them! ;) Well, I'm 24 going on 25 and never has being 24 seemed so appealing...early 20s is a nice place to be, though I must say it didn't turn out as ideal as I had hoped - it was, for me, very much like my first days at a new school - going from being a fourth year, been-there-done-that kind of laid back, experienced hipster student (yeah, right :) to suddenly facing the adult world with a metaphorical Dennis the Menace satchel and a quivering bottom lip, and a graze on my knee from where the big boys pushed me over. Ow. So I'm kind of feeling optimistic about my impending late 20s now, probably mainly because I'm that wee bit more pragmatic and know there's nothing I can do about it. I'm also at the stage where if I find a grey hair I heap love and tenderness on it, as any hair of any colour is a damn good thing, as long as it's on my head rather than colonising some new and unwelcome part of my body. And as for young people with fame and success and lives obviously a thousand times better than (most of) ours - well, good for them. I would have loved to have spent my sixth form years in the hit parade, but although I have no illusions that it'll ever happen, I'm probably more honestly positive about doing something worthwhile with myself the older I get (disregarding for a second that pesky insecurity about wasting my life that I'm conveniently avoiding for the sake of this argument). That's enough of that. Instead, I shall say that for me, "The Groop Played Space Age Bachelor Pad Music" by Stereolab and Super Mario World (I think) are inextricable, and I find myself remembering long-forgotten tactics and such whenever I listen to it. It's absolutely fucking fantastic, by the way...

Sinister: Re: can happiness last for ever??
by sandra gonzález urbano 26 Jan '99

26 Jan '99

Last sunday i spent a wonderful evening. although you probably are not interested in knowing about it, i'll tell you how it went. It began in a cinema, where some friends and i went to see the film "the double life of veronica" of kieslowski (what a difficult surname to write...). it is a film of 1991 - i'm not sure- but i haven't seen it yet. After this film, we where supposed to see "blue" (also kieslowski) but the magic and poetry of "the double life" had taken us and we couldn't see any other film. The music of it (a dutch composer of the 18th century) was resounding inside our heads and we felt as if we had been inside another world for two hours. Then we decided to go to a "pub". We went into the old part of barcelona (the gothic part), full of dark, sinuous, wonderful, and out-of-time streets . One of my friends took us to a bar she had just discovered the week before: very, very small, with candles as only illumination and spanish baroque period music contributing to the atmosphere. we sat there and we spent there three hours with a great cup of wild strawberry tea, talking about music, life, death, love, literature... I felt happy (it was also the magic sensation of realizing that, even tough there are millions of people in the world, we four have meet and we have similar ideas about some things and we don't hae to feel special any more because we know there are more people who share of interests and we can spend hours doing really nothing but everything important.) then i went home. there was nothing on tv (there is never anything on tv and i don't care) and i went directly to my room. i laid on the bed, listening to a "short album about love" of the divine comedy, thinking that i could spend my whole life this way (going to the cinema, reading, listening to music, being with friends...() and i would be happy. BUT then an inconvenient sensation came to my head: if i spent all of my time doing these kind of normal but special thiings, would i value them as now i do because i know they are unique moments? would them lose their magic because of "dailiness"? is it that happines cannot last forever???? +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: coke--as in cola
by Mew817＠aol.com 26 Jan '99

26 Jan '99

Hi again Archel wrote: > i really really hate coke. all that secret recipe crap scares me, and > anyway it tastes horrible. i think we've been brainwashed into > thinking it's drinkable in any way. I am from Atlanta, GA where coke was invented by a Dr. Pemberton (I think that's right) who was a druggist. Having been raised on coca cola, as many other Southern Americans, I do enjoy a nice cold glass, especially on a hot humid summer day. Anyway, I thought I'd shed some light on the secret recipe thing. I was always intrigued by this until I visited the Coca cola museum (yes, there is one!) here in Atlanta with my uncle last year. I went into this replica soda fountain in the museum and these men were explaining how coke is made.... Anyway, they said that there is nothing actually secret in the recipe, just that the amounts of the ingredients are secret. Like they use the same ingredients as other colas, but the amounts are different. That kinda ruined all the mystique for me, but it's interesting nonetheless! So, unless this is just a cover up to hide some crazy secret ingredients (ha ha!), I wouldn't worry too much about the secret recipe. ;) Have a coke and a smile mew x +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: who's died today?
by Archel 26 Jan '99

26 Jan '99

right, time to start pinning down some more pointless ephemera into type. i really really hate coke. all that secret recipe crap scares me, and anyway it tastes horrible. i think we've been brainwashed into thinking it's drinkable in any way. dead famous people: true about not knowing who's really dead. has anyone else done those morbid 'dead poll' things where you have to place bets on certain famous people dying this year, and if they do die you win money? and different celebrities have different values ie. if they're old/sick (boris yeltsin, queen mother) you win less. princess diana would have been a goldmine i expect. kind of sick really - i would feel if i had someone on my list and they kicked the bucket that i was in some way responsible. especially if i'd been feeling broke and casually wished that some minor personality would die so i could clean up. maybe that's what happened to diana - the combined prophetic power of everyone who had her on their dead poll list just got too much. moving seamlessly into the re-release of tigermilk...i have the notorious cd with Stum allegedly sounding like a chipmunk, so it will no doubt be an eye/ear opening experience. maybe i LIKE the chipmunk sound though. mm. seamus wrote (4 times actually, in my digest): ******* what do you do when a girl you fancy says i love you but not in the way you want her to love you ? ******** sigh a little, and then wonder whether if maybe the way she meant it isn't the best way anyway, ie. as a friend who's not afraid to express a feeling of affection. this would be the nice, fluffy explanation anyway. alternatively, you can grind your teeth at the cruelty and flightiness of woman. you should never say 'i love you' when you don't mean it, but you can mean it in many differnt ways. gosh, i'm boring and pompous. i love you... archel xxx ------------------------------------------------------------------- Rachel Playforth rap101(a)york.ac.uk http://members.tripod.com/~RPlayforth/welcome.htm ------------------------------------------------------------------- "We're the younger generation, we grew up fast.
