Anyway, how happy I was to find out that the bank I've been filling with silver coinage for three years is now full and has over two hundred dollars in it! Also, how happy I was to discover three CD-Rs, waiting for me in my mailbox, of B&S' '97 NYC show, '98 Amsterdam, and '98 Boston shows. How dissapointed I was to listen to them (after extensive listening of the wonderful quality Black Sessions, thanks Jim!) to find that they're average quality, and audience recordings. Does Anyone out there have any soundboard source shows on tape or CD-R? or Minidisc! If so, I'd love to trade with you. Or just any good quality shows too. Lemme know! Thanks in advance...can't wait for the new releases. ryan. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Re: Sinister: what's your favorite animal?
by Chris Butler 22 Jan '99

22 Jan '99

Lemmings. Follow me in my devotion. senor droolcup PS: So I'm sitting in my bathroom with a short glass of whiskey wondering why the only cool part of my apartment is on the tiled floor of my upstairs bathroom, when it strikes me: I've got knuckles the size of fuzzy dice. Who the hell gave me this oddity that leaves the typical schoolgirl scoffing at me from across the cafeteria? I never asked to be pretty, but I never asked to hang the equivalent of pumpkins from my toothpick arms. So while my glass sinks into my hand like a fat man into a beanbag, I take one last sip and make a new years resolution to wear legwarmers underneath my jumper to find some proportion in my life.

Sinister: Eurovision
by Jordi Trenzano i Vilar 22 Jan '99

22 Jan '99

Sorry, something went wrong and the first post wasnŽt complete. I know that with that message iŽll disappoint some people, but IŽm afraid that Massiel won the Eurovision song contest more for political affairs than anything else. What is widely known is the trouble with the guy who was going to sing "La la la" instead of Massiel, the catalan folk singer Joan Manel Serrat (before he became a boring romantic millionaire) who wanted to sing in the catalan language, widely banned from the daily life by Franco. The dictatorship authorities refused, and Serrat didnŽt want to sing. So, as a miracle, Massiel won the contest, a fact that allowed the authorities to create a happy image of the country. WhatŽs less known is that the spanish authorities had an agreement with the german ones: the german would give the best score to Spain if they Žd buy their new TV technological resources. IŽm willing to hear both Stuart D. and Isobel solo albums. Yesterday I got some photos from the BarcelonaŽs 97 gig, which were sent by a guy called Luis. All of them are from Isobel and Stu, and are really cute. Please, come here again ! ================================================== 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: Crystalize Your Mind!
by PJMiller 22 Jan '99

22 Jan '99

VOTE SNOW PATROL! I hope you've all voted for Snow Patrol on the Oh Yeah awards page. I have, despite never having heard them. I also voted for Eric's Flea Circus and someone for services to Belfast breakdancing, as well as a club spookily called The Gate. Will wonders never cease? HEFNERIZE YOUR MIND! I urge all the doubters and ditherers to trunde off to the Po Caff tonight to see the chap from Hefner. Even if you don't like the music, you'll like his witty repartee between songs. Plus it will be a great opportunity to see at least two pairs of indie rock glasses in the same room at the same time. Also, could someone have a word with Trousers please, because I still haven't got my copy of Trousercuts - the magazine for men. RODSPOTTER'S PARADISE! I see there are quite a lot of Rod fanatics on the list. It's hardly surprising really. The dedicated Rodspotter now has a curious ally in the shape of Rod's flatmate, who has kindly installed a webcam in their flat. Should Dame Fortune smile on you, you can see Rod playing on his flatmate's computer. I've just tried it and it was pitch dark because it was six o' clock in the morning, but you might have more luck. I'm hoping that Rod will forget about the camera and have a "Kate Winslett" before our very eyes! Here's the URL: http://www.scottcam.com/webcam.html Well worth a visit, especially if someone else is paying. There are also some wacky Rod-related messages in the guestbook. Thanks to Heather for tipping me off about this one. THE GENTLE LOONIES! I'm so excited about the forthcoming album from Isobel Campbell's side project "The Gentle Waves", but really, don't you think she's taking her Tina Turner impersonation a bit too far? I mean "The Green Fields of Foreverland" - if that's not a straight re-write of "Nutbush City Limits", I'll eat my toy cigarettes. I hope the record has a drawing of Isobel sitting pensively in a deckchair on the cover. KEITH'S FAVOURITE SHAPE! Don't you think we should restrict this discussion to geometric shapes? Keith's is so wishy-washy. "A round ovally sort of shape" - what's that supposed to mean, eh? I suspect that it's a sneaky way for Keith to talk about his favourite animal - the round ovally hedgehog! I'm strictly a pentangle man myself. FLUFFY'S TAPE! Of course I like it, but I haven't listened to it much yet. I find tapes, like fine wines, mature with age. ONE, TWO, BUCKLEY MY SHOE! I too discovered Jeff Buckley recently. At first I thought it was crap, but now I quite like it. Everyone knows that Jeff's dad was Tim Buckley, but few people know that his mother was Vera Duckworth. My favourite song is "Corpus Christ Carol". It's a cover of a Benjamin Britten song, so I was wondering if anyone knows what album it's from or if it's from one of his rock operas are something. It takes a brave man to rhyme "knight" with "night". Corking song though, almost on a par with McCarthy, I'd say. Yours fauthfully, Sister Disco, patrolling the mental health wards of the pop hospital, ever vigilant. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: nerds playing lo-fi wearing cardigans.
by Jarkko Fr�ntil� 22 Jan '99

22 Jan '99

I haven't read these posting for a while, been busy doing other things (but we wont go into that one here). Well, I decided to read a few today and, to my surprise, I felt I HAD to say something. a) Nerdy Glasses. I'm all for them. Wearing them right now, I am. Don't know how some people could oppose them. The thing that bugs me is those fake-nerdys, the ones people use when they have no problem with their eyesight. These days people always ask me if my glasses are "real" or am I just wearing these to look cool. Blah. b) Lo-fi. Hmm, a bit problematic. I've always said, "if it sounds good, do it", meaning that you don't need to fill your songs with marimbas and xylophones and what ever you have just to get all the tracks filled. But then again, I hate that stupid "Oooh- I'll- just- use- my acoustic- guitar- play- it REALLY- badly- and- call- myself- lofi"-crap. but I quess that makes some people (who can't play their instruments that well) feel that they're cool, 'cause then they can count themselves as a part of the lo-fi-genre. Using some ancient analogic recording-equipment doesn't necesserely make you lo-fi. Try Larry And The Lefthanded (finnish band), Opel Bastards (Larryetc guys' sideproject, could be categorised as "urbanasphaltfunk") or Bob Hund (swedish perfection) to see/hear how it should be done. And no, I'm not just patriotic here when talking about Finnish bands, these bands are just the "future" (HOW clishee can you get?). c) Cardigans (not the band): Yup, you quessed it, luv 'em. The thing with these, however, is that I have a bad sweating problem. They're ok when you don't have to do anything. But as soon as you have to do some physical stuff, lift a box full of books or something (that's one of the crappy things that I do here at my work), I'm like a walking faucet under my armpits. I even had to order a new "study at Stow"-shirt, 'cause my sweating destroyed my old one, the armpits look horrible. But then again, I just gained 5 kg in 2 months, and the old "study"-shirt, size S, looks silly on me. Beertitties aren't that nice, you know. So the new shirt is size M. I rest my case. and btw, stupid information that no-one wants to know: I'm listening to "Promenade" by Divine Comedy at the moment. @--->--- luvvie, jake. ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

None
by Gary Parkinson 22 Jan '99

22 Jan '99

Oh you little dumplings Here's a pic (hope y'all can view it somehow - also hope we're allowed to send pix. - Gulp) of Eurovision winner Massiel ('La La La' 1968, naturally). Is this a ye-ye dress then? Or not? What do I know? So now that pants fever has died down, and there seems to be a lull filled only by nerdglasses (I don't have any as such, but my sunglasses what I have to wear when I'm a-drivin my luvverly lickle pea'n'lime greens VW Beetle, especiallymost on days like this when it's a sparkly iced cake of a day, are pretty nerdish; does this qualify? Eh?), what about: who would be the six people, living, dead or imaginary, animal, vegetable or mineral, that you'd invite to your dinner party? Be cautious, kidnips, it reveals ALL about your personality, and that's psyientific fact. Oh yes. Anyroad, if you want a pic of Lulu in hotpants and silver boots, let me know. She looks winsome as a slightly naughty cloud. Yum. Wishing you all tiny little sweets that look like gems, Gazzoid. 8) "Hey sister, let's face the Universe and dance" - li'l Marcy Bolan.

Sinister: crime fighting monkies
by Graham MacArthur 22 Jan '99

22 Jan '99

Dear sinisterines: I'd just like to point out that although my name appears as Graham MacArthur, I'm actually Erica (his daughter) or Scarlet. you choose. Nice to hear theres some fellow monkey lovers (espcially those who like the band *and* the real thing). Money is also a good word, a brilliant quote from Rich (I also thought the blossom reference was good, reminded me of that stupid bit at the beginning where she tries on lots of hats? well, i laughed at the thought) "cos we are a gang arent we, like a big group of crime fighting monkeys on rollerskates" at first it reminded me of those scary things in Return to oz, with actual wheel-feet, a small regression into a childhood nightmare, but then I stopped myself and thought of the lovely sweet monkeys, in cruel-but-funny little hats doing adverts for Pg tips. not that I condone... I love Ren and Stimpy and rockos modern life, both suitably disgusting and terribly funny....do you have them in America? actually (goofy look) they probably came from america, er, hmm? Do You LIke The Jesus and Mary Chain? someone told me I *had* to hear them so I retrieved Physcho Candy from the record collection, is this the best jesus and mary chain record? I can't really say if I do, but I couldn't get into it yesterday, and it was Abba day oh VH1 so I was more than bit distracted! I'm a big fan of proper nerd-rock glasses, but when celebs start sporting them in a last ditch attempt to be trendy, well, it all seems a bit passe. But we rock! the people who do *have* to wear glasses, and look like cute little moles coming out into daylight, rubbing their eyes without them. Jake, I also hate it when people ask me if my glasses are "real", it makes me sigh. well, this is me signing off, hoping I didn't bore you all but give me time. do you remember yourself at 16? love, Erica p.s I can do a handstand without anyone holding me up. beat that, listees! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
