Sinister: Rodddcam forever!
by Keith Watson 26 Jan '99

26 Jan '99

I wish these people who complain about people who say the list is shit would just give it a rest. It evidently is going through a bloody rough patch or loads ov people wouldn't have left, and people wouldn't be talking about it. Since when was it anyone's buziness to tell other people what they should think anyway. We all watched Rodddddcam last night and caught a startling insight into Roddderz - he uses the komputer! And he looks quite sad whilst doing it. Also, he, like hiz daddy told him, turns the light out after leaving the room, what a quality eko-warrior, like Swampy. Ailsa is right, we should all be meeting up before going along to the Evie Sands do. Dunno what time the do iz on at? Perhaps we could meet up for a swifty at the Rock, or that other pub, can't remember its name - a load of cobblers or something. Someone else suggest a more concrete plan than my tossy attempt at one. Also, I quite fancy going to the Looper gig in Edinburgh, anyone else fancy that, I dunno what time it's on at, perhaps we could meet for a sly one in the Maltshovel, or the Scotsman Lounge or something beforehand. Anyone who fancies going, please let me know. Clare, I've no idea of an Arab Strap/Mogwai collaboration I'm afraid, however, Mogwai did remix David Holmes' excellent "Don't die just yet", as did Arab strap, but I don't think it's the record you're talking about. Joke... > A man walks into the butcher's shop and orders a pound of sausages. > The butcher turns to the man and says: "I bet you the price of those > sausages that you can't get those pieces of meat down off the shelf > behind me!" > > The man looks up at the shelf and says: "I'm not betting, the steaks > are too high". Cheers, Keith.

Sinister: Anything's better then posh isolation
by Pamela Hutchinson 26 Jan '99

26 Jan '99

Hello Has anyone else 'out there' read Douglas Coupland's Girlfirend In A Coma? I read it last night. I couldn't put it down. I was meant to be studying T S Eliot but I needed to read somefink NOT ON MY COURSE. Contraband literature! Woohoo! It was amazing, and I think people hear will like it, its very moving and spacey and he has a neat trick of incorporating Smiths titles into the text every so often. BY the way, this week I have mostly been listening to Hefner and Jeff Buckley. ANd Hefner can go take a running jump. Sorry. Does this mean I have no soul? bye bye pamela +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: plea to all you lads and lassies!
by Kimberly Rehak 26 Jan '99

26 Jan '99

oi! i just finished re-organizing my wee tape collection and found this mix that someone made me that has two lovely legendary jim ruiz group songs on it: "urban gentleman" and "glad they're gone". i can never seem to find any complete album when i happen to search for it (though i do usually tend to suffer from whatever infection causes you to forget what you want to find as soon as you pass the threshold of the record store). i remember a few mentioning him a bit ago so i am just composing a plea to see if anyone would possibly make me a copy <please, please?>...i'd write more but i'm afraid you would all think me uninteresting (this inferiority complex of mine!)...and i should start to get some german vocabulary learned... byebye kisskiss KIMberly "you don't understand my relationship with potatoes"--said by my little pal matt "meatface" meehan

Sinister: Black Sessions - Tape Tree
by Mark Meyerson 26 Jan '99

26 Jan '99

Ok I know I also (amongst all the other pleas) made a request for the Black Sessions Well it seems there is enough desire Why don't we do a Tape Tree You ask what is a tape tree well on other lists (mostly the dead/Dylan/NYoung ect..) they very often do what is called Tape Trees a tape tree is a system where by the most people get the lowest generation copy i.e. Vivian has a first generation copy (hopefully on DAT or CDR) He Makes a Copy for Greg, Marsha, and Jan Then Greg makes a copy for Velma, Daphine and Fred Then Marsha makes a copy for Fred, Ricky and Lucy Then Jan makes a copy for Brendan, Dylan, and Kelly and there we have it 12 people get at least a 2nd generation copy and nobody has to do more than three copies so what you do to start it out is everyone sends their e-mail address to the head Tape Tree Person and tells them weather or not they can make copies or they just want a copy and sends their e-mail and snail mail address Then a list is made that looks like this Greg Velma Daphine Jan Marsha Fred Ricky Lucy You get the point so the people in the first column will get a good copy from Vivian they make copies and mail them out and the people in the second column just wait for the tape to show and it depends on what people want who are taping but the easiest is to send a blank tape and some stamps to mail it back with I DON'T HAVE A COPY OF THE BLACK SESSIONS but would be glad to administer this Tree so send me an e-mail if you'd like to be a part of the tree (tell me if you can tape or burn CDs and your address and if you'd like to trade tapes or just trade blanks) I will take a day or so to get back to the list well wha-dya say MMMMMMark PS I'd love to do this CD-r so people with burners get in touch PSS I don't know the length of the black session but maybe we could put some sessions on it too PSS there will be no profit generated in this and is only to get music to the people who love it +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: mercifully brief post for all tired hepcats
by rebelstrange＠ldd.net 26 Jan '99

26 Jan '99

fluffysarah, thee of the barbed tongue, you said i look like Po the teletubby, where did that come from?? just wondering I haven't heard any of the Looper yet, does he just talk on it? i'd give it a listen, i like spaceboy dream, i just dont' like century of elvis. and yes to the one who mentioned it, meet me on the schoolyard behind the bike racks, cos i'm gonna turn you upside down and shake the lunch money out of your pockets!! haven't we got beyond randomly insulting members of some obscure scottish band in an attempt to be snide? i'm one to speak about snideness, ha! dont' go there. never mind, i already did. I still predict isobel's gem will be as minty fresh as a spring meadow, and the feminine hygiene product it's named after. and if anyone's to do something 'winningly' she'd be the one on my list. i had forgotten how much i love it when things are done winningly, i also like things that are cunning and clever. and i'm sure we'll be provided with all three of the above twee adjectives come march 22. (ooh surprised you there didn't i!!) i hope the value of the old tigermilk goes down to like 20 dollars and all the people who were silly enough to waste money on it are left with no opportunity to sell it for profit. you couldn't wait a few months for a proper one? i dont' mean to be mean about it i just dont' get the concept of buying something just cos it's rare. collect Hummels or something. music snobs are scum. i'm not accusing ANYONE here of being a music snob, but i've read them articles in collector magazines about what kind of plastic sleeves to use for your 5000-collection of lp's, and my dad has a ton of rekkids that are still sealed in plastic, i was going to play his tracey ullman record cos it has my favorite song on it, "they don't know about us" and it was sealed up, so i couldn't hear my favorite song even. THAT is lame! be careful young children, it could happen to you, any day now. don't let it. it's horribly boring when people gripe about the list. should go to your next of command or take it to the high council or something. but whateve ryou do, dont' listen to me, in fact ignore all of my mails. thank you. oh yeah. and Tom Waits. he has the sort of voice i think i should despise, but i always end up liking it. i can't explain why, i just do. "San Francisco Serenade" is enough to break anyone's heart twice over, although the second side of that record i dont' like nearly as much, it's too beatnik and upbeat. he sounds beter when he's depressing. muzzled by choice, LJ http://www.members.tripod.com/rebelstrange "ax-wielding bitch cow from hell" +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: the miracle of St. Vic
by Pulpbot＠aol.com 26 Jan '99

26 Jan '99

Noting the Vic Chesnutt discussion of late, I cringe and recall my dumb ass faux pas with the FDR of Georgia rock. At a Bob Mould show a few years back, Vic was opening and I was crammed up front waiting for his Bobness, the god of sweet, sweaty melody. Well, I couldn't help but notice that Vic was tapping his foot as he warbled. Odd, I thought, because he is a paraplegic, no? Cruel instinct or a cruel hoax? I leaned over to shout my question in my friend's ear. I meant to discreetly say something like, why is his leg moving? Alas, the music cut out at a humorously improper moment, and so I was caught screaming "His leg is moving!" into the stunned and silent air. Yes, I was rewarded with an acute glare from Vic as I hung my head in shame. Someone else noted the greatness of the Silver Jews record. Uh huh. Dry as dust off the parched skeleton of Patsy Cline, a fellow Virginian. Then why does it fill me up everytime? Just as lyrically dense as B&S, but the soft drawl of y'all gets lost amid the phlemmy purr of the scottish burr, eh? I got the "Some Kind of Wonderful" soundtrack yesterday for two bucks. Version of J & M Chain's brilliant "The Hardest Walk" except it's the Johnny Hates Jazz remix, so big suxx to them. I'm sure some listee at somepoint has recast the Hughes ouevre with Belle and Seb. Isobel wakes up flat-chested and on the wrong side of the moors, with the awful lads from the Arab Strap trying to trick her into dating them. And Stuart is the Amanda Jones character: untouchable and dreamy. Except he wears a fedora. -Cleopatra Grip +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Hefner and aging...
by Mew817＠aol.com 26 Jan '99

26 Jan '99

Hi everyone It's been such a long time since I've posted...I've been doing too much lurking. So I just got Breaking God's Heart by Hefner and I love it! I got to see them at the Melting Vinyl Crawl in Brighton last spring and really enjoyed them, but didn't get a chance to buy anything of theirs. They are really great and I recommend them to all, well, to most! -Just a safeguard in case someone buys their album and hates it. ;) I have sort of a general question for people around my age (23). 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! ;) Maybe I'm just crazy but to top it all off, I found a gray hair on my head tonight!!! AAGGHH!!! Sure it's a nice silvery-gray, but gray is gray! I know I will always be young at heart, but technically, I'm getting old! Please tell me there are others that feel like this! OK, enough from me. Take care mew x +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: twenty thousand men couldn't build a monument...
by promqueen＠anti-social.com 26 Jan '99

26 Jan '99

hi dalinks. on the subject of vic chesnutt, Has anyone ever heard the New Bad Things song off the Hefner EP (that is, Hefner covering the NBT) called "Goethe's Letter to Vic Chesnutt" it sooooo worth investing in this EP (Love Will Destroy us in the End) if you have any interest in Hefner. just plain bee-yew-tee-fawl! The Song on Vic Chesnutt is very morrissey-esque, if you are into that sort of thing (which, shamelessly, i am) here's a great line... "let me put it to you this way, you will get hit by a truck you will fall from your bicycle... and no one will recall how you were except your friends and your enemies... and all the stuff that you could have written, and all the notes that you kept hidden, will mean about as much... as your corpse." hee hee... if that is not discustingly reminicent of: "and if a double decker bus, crashes into us... to die by your side such a heavenly way to die..." and: "all those people all those lives, where are they now? with loves, and hates and passions just like mind... they were born and then they lived and then they died... seems so unfair, i want to cry" the words could have been written by the same tortured hand, as i see it. that is, the hand not dramatically stapled on to the forhead... of course. does any one know anything else from The New Bad Things? "They are from Portland, Oregon and do indeed ride bicycles and drink coffee" is all i've got on 'em. bonus note: Hefner's "God is on Our Side" gets my vote for "album most lusted after," if the idea of having sex with an album isn't too revolting. hee hee. unfortunately i let a distant friend borow it and am afraid to never see it again! "oh Hefner... I thought you said you loved me!!!" tee hee. also, does any one think "love will destroy us in the end" is a cheap joy division rip off? a damn good one none the less. But then again, "love will tear us apart" could be a captian and tenille rip of, huh? love will keep us together... lisa --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Get your free Anti-Social.com email at http://Anti-Social.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------- +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Burning centipedes
by TFertig3＠aol.com 25 Jan '99

25 Jan '99

Hello to all, So Nick Drake does not sound like Tom Waits after all. I suppose that was a bit of stretch, and Nick Drake isn't so bad after listening to the album 500 times over. But then, anything starts to sound slightly more than poo after that many listens. It's the way the human ear works. Now then, I should have known better than to talk pish about Nicky Drake in the domain of Sebastian. Don't you just want to pat him on the head and tell him it'll be all right? I know I do. Tigermilk for real. That'll be weird, you know, a real copy without all the fuzz in the background. And I won't have to turn the volume on my stereo to the very maximum in order to hear the songs. I'll believe it when I see it. My chemistry teacher (the one's shaped strangely like an eggplant) wears a bus tie. They are the same buses as on the Belle and Sebby shirts, I'm sure. All different color buses. You see, I knew B&S liked chemistry. Why else would they sell their merchandise to chemistry teachers? Has anyone tried making a Looper song? I never got around to downloading whatever needs to be downloaded, though I've been curious for a long time. Could I become a pop star? That's it for now, Tami xxxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
