Sinister: Milky biscuit competition
by Keith Watson 26 Jan '99

26 Jan '99

A few pints for lunch today prompted the question... In the fascinating world of POP, who out of all the participants would be likely to win a milky biscuit competition - and who would be the unlucky fellar who got to eat the cracker. At lunchtime we ascertained that in a competition between "Fast" Eddie Clarke (guitarist and chum of Lemmy and Phil "thy animal" Taylor from M(t(rhead) and Eric "old Slowhand" Clapton. That's obvious, but say for example, it was Phil Collins versus "Rasping" Roland Gift from Fine Young Cannibals... who's it to be! Cheers, Keith. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: I've been looking...
by Reid Dossinger 26 Jan '99

Thank you Jake for being, I believe, the first to mention that Belle and Sebastian have a few new things coming out. I think it's a big deal, yes I do; I think it's a big deal, how 'bout you? > If StuD and Isobel managed to release all their creative juices ivia their > side projects then they aren't going to feel the need to shove their stuff > on a new B&S album and thus we get a proper good old StuM album (ok and a > little from stevie but we can't complain). I'd just like to make the point > that I don't think the other 2 are bad (in fact what I've heard from both > of the is pretty good, Columbo's car by looper is damn fine) but I love the > way that tigermilk and sinister flow in a way that TBWTAS doesn't just > because the first 2 albums are just StuM. > Very intersting theory you got there...But, you've gotta figure that "Paper Boat" will either be on the album or the single (the last I heard, it was going to be THE single!), and as far as Stevie's stuff goes, "The Wrong Girl" would probably make it onto the album. They must have been writing like crazy, because I can only think of three other songs that might possibly go on it, and doesn't it seem doubtful that "Rhoda" would be on there? I'm assuming that we'll hear studio versions of "The Lonliness.." and "Lord Anthony" (yay!) Katrina, care to enlighten us on possible song choices? I think I'm the only person here who could talk about Belle and Sebastian non-stop. Not that I mind the off-topic stuff...some of it is very entertaining (most of it isn't). I just like talking about, y'know...*them*. ~Reid +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Mogwai fear Santa
by Rory Mackie 26 Jan '99

26 Jan '99

The Mogwai/Arab Strap track previously referred to is 'R U still in 2 it?' Off of the excellent 'Mogwai Young Team' debut LP. It's quite good for listening to whilst falling asleep, although the third track gets very, very loud very suddenly and makes you wake up swinging at the air with your fists and murmuring 'Fight yer' Personally one of the reasons I enjoy this list so much are the 'dear diary' posts. I like the idea that people all over the world are sharing little unconsequential, funny things that happened to them to complete strangers. As much as I love Belle & Sebastian I don't think I could handle a whole digest deicated to StuM's cheekbones or chord progressions or something. This list is fun because it's more than just a geeky fanboy zitfest so keep those long rambling posts about pants coming, I love 'em. The Vic Chesnutt leg story made me laugh.

Sinister: Do Wah Diddy Diddy Dum Diddy Do!
by PJMiller 26 Jan '99

26 Jan '99

My calendar says "S. Pablo" underneath yesterday's date, I wasn't trying to be cheeky, honest. I apologise if I unwittingly condemned Paul to spending all eternity in a fiery pit being whipped. It's because I'm a proddy bastard. Evie Sands! Evie Sands! I had to sit down and pour myself a stiff one when I heard that, I'm sick with envy. Evie's "Take Me For a Little While" nestles somewhere near the top of my personal Hot One Hundred, which I'll be posting to the list with explanatory commentary a week next Thursday. Ms Sands is just one of a galaxy of recording stars on "The Red Bird Story", a smashing 4 CD set from Charly Records Ltd, full of beautiful sounds. Paul, this is where Ronnie Mitchell's "Having a Party" comes from, which should give you some idea of what kind of atmosphere to expect at the church hall next week. Surely worth hiring an air ambulance for the night? I'm sure they'd let you park your bath chair next to the stage and lend you an ear trumpet. Fluffy! This is where "Mary Weiss Speaks" comes from, which should give you some idea of the kind of advice that will be on offer on the night. Evie Sands - I'd walk a million miles for one of her smiles. Here's an uninteresting Evie Sands fact: "After several mediocre records, (Jackie) Ross came out with the excellent "Take Me For a Little While", in July 1965. With it's rolling, catchy beat and plaintive plea, the song was a perfect vehicle for the singer. It was, however, a cover of a just-released record by Evie Sands, a young white singer in New York. Because Ross's version was on the veteran Chess label and sung by an established black star, it knocked off Evie Sands' song in most cities." Really quite remarkable. If you're going to the concert, you could memorise that and blurt it out to Ms Evie at an inappropriate moment, and she will reply, "Why, fiddledy-diddledy dee, ain't that just the darndest thing?" because she probably thinks no one knows who she is, and will be overcome with joy at the waves of love flooding the stage. Unless she's grumpy. Anyway, I want to go. As soon as it stops raining, I'm going to set out walking. In case I don't get there in time, can someone make sure to record it and take nice photos? Jeepster should do it really, it'd be a massive hit and earn them a place in the history books. Speaking of history books, could someone please tell Warrander John that I promise never to mention Gr*il M*rc*s again if he comes back home, where he belongs, to the Sinister list. Because we miss him. I've seen that film "54" and I thought it was shit, except for Austin Powers. Apologies to anyone who's waiting for me to reply to anything, especially Anne, who's been waiting since mid-November.

Dear diary, Glad to see everyone is enjoying them so much on the list these days. It's probably the january feeling, and the anticipation of payday. Anyway can't stay long but can anyone tell me where to find an arab strap/mogwai collaboration. I have a track which for the chorus goes..'Will you still miss me, when I'm gone, is there a love there..., will you still kiss me when you find out...' blah blah. cheers my happy friends, Claire +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: fun n games
by Claire M Timmins 26 Jan '99

yeah meet up. When exactly is the Evie sands thang. We could meet in Cottiers rather than The Rock, my preference. Actually don't know if I could bring myself round to meet people from the list it might destroy all the little images that feature in my daydreams.Unless in reallife you are all more gorgeous than I pretend you are. Keith, it's ok. Andrew 'master of knowledge'Dean heled me out there. I actually have the record it is on but haven't listened to it yet as I can't afford a stylus.*sigh*. Joke... (may only get this if you're from Edinburgh, so i'm really sorry for excluding the rest of the world. It wasn't intentional I'm just not very good at remembering jokes) Two slabs of black tar are in a pub. They start chatting, as you do, feeling that they had things in common. They are getting on famously when one of them spies a slab of red tar. Shit man, I'm outta here. Why? asked the other. No time to explain, said the other and hid. When the red slab had gone the black slab came back again. Why did you hide? asked the other slab. Don't you know, said the slab, he's a cyclepath. Shit i think its one of these jokes that you can't just write down, so therefore you have to say it out loud to yourself. cherry oh, Claire -------------------- Claire Timmins Leverhulme Research Assistant, Department of English Language, 12 University Gardens, University of Glasgow, Glasgow G12 8QQ. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
