Sinister: Cigarettes, Alcohol and Rollerblading
by skg21＠hermes.cam.ac.uk 15 Jan '99

15 Jan '99

All these people going on about how horrible it will be if B&S become popular, and how the list will become boring with so many new fans. Well I seem to remember this kind of thing being debated before, when there were only about 150 of us here; now there's about 850 and this last week's been the most interesting for ages. The only cause for concern is that the band themselves don't seem to want to be hugely popular, they're too shy and might not cope too well; but judging by the quality of the music they're producing nothing's gone wrong yet... Anyway, there I was, yesterday morning at 7.30am, running round a park in the centre of town. Our team captain claims that it's fitness training. I claim that she's a sadist. Sport is taking over my life at the moment, 5 days a week for the next 5 weeks. Tomorrow morning I've got to get up at 6am to go to a tournament at some second-rate university in the middle of England - Oxford I think the place is called. Judging by how knackered I am at the moment (probably something to do with being up until 3.30am at a friend's house last night), it's going to be hell... --On Thu, Jan 14, 1999 18:47 +0000 Azrael <assassin(a)globalnet.co.uk> wrote: > If so - then where were you at 8am on Tuesday morning! We had it an inch think in central Manchester - although the thing in my hand was thicker! And the smut factor on the list rocketed as a result. You'll have Yale college after you. As for my underwear, well today I'm wearing particularly skimpy black lace panties and bra. And under my underwear are my legs.

Sinister: Underwear
by Stanley,L 15 Jan '99

15 Jan '99

"If fashion is your trade, then when you're naked, I guess you must be unemployed" - my favourite lyric in the entire Pulp canon, and this is true for a guy I know (know about?) who married a model. (Names omitted for reasons of infamy). I don't really want to comment on the Underwear debate without reading some more on what others have contributed. (I erase my stuff because we have limited H:spaces here at LSE and there might be some urgent communication from the Government Dept.) But I guess I'm not fussy, though from time to time I find new boxes of black knickers in my drawers courtesy of my mother and she brought me back some silk ones from Beijing two and a half years ago. Boring, just like Economics homework. As for the above reference to a lyric and its associations, are there any (B&S or otherwise) that anyone else find relevant. I've posted my thoughts on "Me and the Major" and "If You're Feeling Sinister" but "Lazy Line Painter Jane" reminds me of a liaison I had at 12.40am on the northbound northern line platform at Euston ("You will have a boy tonight, on the last bus out of town..." well, train, but never mind).

Sinister: Books Bass Bonzos Blatant
by weejay 15 Jan '99

15 Jan '99

Hey, Louise, hello it's me! Glad to see you getting on well with the natives. Oh, and if you want that book I suggest you go to http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0413697703/qid=9163 31325/sr=1-7/026-9185755-6619647 and if that doesn't work, just try going to http://www.amazon.co.uk and working your way from there. Would have said sooner but the mailhub thingy here went down yet again and I couldn't send anything. If anyone has tried to e-mail me and failed well, that's why. Then I went to what has to be the worst band practice ever. The lead singer / guitarist had to be dragged from the top bar in the union, having been drinking since midday. And I mean, you can't exactly play well in that state. I suppose it's my fault, being his manager, but you can't stop him when he's got money really. He tried to kiss me on the stairs but I told him I only would if he sobered up and had a shave. A blatant lie, but I got away with it. The the bass player turned up an hour late and by that time the rest of the band had asked me to go and find a new one. Eddy said he'd break the news to her tomorrow. It's a little harsh but understandable I suppose, since they'd be ready to play live now if she could actually play bass to even a basic standard... But I don't suppose this is even slightly relevant to anything, so I'd like to make a musical suggestion to you all. I went into a crap music shop to shelter from the rain the day before yesterday and came out with a CD of two Bonzo Dog albums - 'Tadpoles' and 'Keynsham' for only 5.99. Whattabargain. So that's all I've been listening to for the last 2 days and I really reccomend it. Though It's not as good as 'Let's make up and be friendly' I hardly think that they could top that masterpiece. Gabriela was saying; > Sarah? Underwear is one of my favourite songs by Pulp.... ;) > What kind of underwear does Jarvis wear?? Any replies to this are very welcome thankyou. She also went on about: > And Stars in their Eyes? I heard someone was playing jarvis > Cocker on this one... Yeah, yeah! There was, and you can read a review of that very event at http://www.geocities.com/sunsetstrip/cabaret/5523/tvreview.html and then maybe drop in a few comments at http://www.geocities.com/sunsetstrip/cabaret/5523/wjpages.html Sorry about the blatant self publicity, but I have to get it somewhere. Except I'm not telling you all about my underwear as you all seem to be doing. I mean you could find out but the price probably isn't worth it. dada for now, james xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx James(a)twopounds.u-net.com "My lover is inscrutable, in a stoic sort of way, Oh yeah my baby is as beautiful as a tourniquet" http://www.geocities.com/sunsetstrip/cabaret/5523/ (Which will no longer crash your computer.

Sinister: Ramblings of an old-timer
by Reid Dossinger 15 Jan '99

15 Jan '99

PAGING LEE WHITEHEAD. LEE WHITEHEAD, PLEASE PICK UP A WHITE COURTESY PHONE: I tried to email you, but those kind folks at virgin.net sent it back to me, and I couldn't get them to tell me why, regardless of how much leg I showed. So if you could just send an email my way to verify your address, I'll give it a second try. Okay, everyone else can listen in now. Hi, my name's Reid and I'm not new to the list. Can I just tell you how excited I was to see "from: P.S. Mitchell" yesterday? He's back! It's like the second coming. To all of those new kiddies (those last two digests were were sponsored by the phrase "Hello my name is..."), pay attention to everything that Paul says. He knows what he's doing, and he knows what he's saying. He's my list hero. That's different than a list crush. Speaking of list crushes, I added Mrs. Murdoch to the list of names, so everyone should go vote for her. This should satisfy the itch to confess your love to her, at least until her own website is up, complete with voting booth where you can vote on a scale of 1-10 on her body parts. Her former womb gets a 10. I'm pretty fascinated with all this Brit Awards stuff. Fascinated mostly because everyone seems to think that everyone else is going to get mad if they win, but we all know that no one will. The thing is, the only thing that is going to change about Belle and Sebatian if they ever get really huge is this list. It'll be inundated with "I really really like that song 'Is it Wicked When You Cry' because sometime I cry too, and I've written an essay on one time when I cried really hard when my brother was mean to me." But other than that, Belle and Sebastian will stay the same. They don't do interviews, so you're not likely to see their faces on Entertainment Tonight, they're on small labels, so they'll release what they want when they want...I just don't see it changing the music or the band at all. If they win, I think it'll be funny more than anything else. On a completely unrelated not, Kin wrote about "Buffy the Vampire Slayer": > It's not kitschy at > all, > WHAT?! Are you serious? Now, I'm totally with you about it being the best show on TV, and yes, it is genuninely spooky and exciting. But it's also by far and away the campiest thing that I've ever seen. It's one of the few shows around that's guaranteed to make me laugh out loud every time I watch it. The classic moment was when Willow was in the hospital, and Zander was giving her a tearful speech, and it was this hilarious send-up of every tearjerker, teen-flick hospital-bed speech..."You can't go. I mean, how am I going to pass Trig, y'know?" Classic. I need new underwear. Nothing exciting, but underwear without holes in it. Imagine how embarrassed my mother would be if I got in a car accident. No one ever answered me: whatever happened to Brad? I can't be the only one who cares...he's #2 in the list crush vote. I'm finished with you now, Reid +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Tigermilk
by Alex huntley 15 Jan '99

15 Jan '99

Er.... I know that it's really bad form to sell things via the mailing list and I apologise. Still, I have an extra copy of Tigermilk that I don't need. I don't like the idea of selling it to some dealer in London who will stick it in a vacuum sealed plastic bag for the rest of its life - I'd rather that someone who appreciates the music, not the collectibility had it. The best way to do this seemed to stick a message on the list. So here it is. Er...that's it. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: a bloody christmas drought
by alex tobin 15 Jan '99

15 Jan '99

well, thank god christmas and the new year are now comfortably behind us. phew... but the bad news, as every year, is that, what with all of the compilations and such saturating the market, the amount of quality new releases always seems to shrink. ok, i know what you'll be saying: what a great chance to check out the corker albums and tracks of yesteryear. fine. but aren't you also (let's be honest) the type to go to your local little record shop and feel your fingers twitching at the chance of having something new, shiny and scrumptious in your bag? so, does anyone have any good suggestions for new albums for 99 so far? (if you want to see my tastes, they're all at my site, more or less... see below for link.) it's just that i can only listen to old roxy music, tindersticks, et al, so many bloody times! cheers in advance, alex ----------------------------------------------------------- alex tobin pater romboutslaan 14 6419 be heerlen the netherlands phone +31.45.5711883 fax +31.46.443.3937 mobile +31.6.50603533 e-mail alex(a)tobin.demon.nl webpage http://www.tobin.demon.nl +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Books and Fairport
by Stanley,L 15 Jan '99

15 Jan '99

Just read Kristen's post. In answer to her question : Sartre's "Nausea". I know how Roquentin feels - I think that way too. But university knocks the stuffing out of being a loner and I doubt I'll think like that for too much longer. Also whoever mentioned Fairport: sadly much of the stuff post 1971 is not sung by Denny - she returned for "Rising" which was 1975, but she died in 1978 (she fell down the stairs. when I told my *dear* mother she mentioned drugs. I don't like to think about that sort of thing. I'd call her a bitch, but she's not usually that judgemental). But I've cried to "Fotheringay" and "Who Knows Where The Time Goes" in the past, so yeah, definitely (and sadly literally) an angel.

Sinister: "Me and the Major" and "If You're Feeling Sinister": Lyrics expla ined?
by Stanley,L 15 Jan '99

15 Jan '99

Hi.... Can someone tell me - being a politics student, I couldn't help reading a rant against a former PM into "Me and the Major" (seeing as someone printed a lyric on the end of a sinister-digest special, that reminded me of a question I'd always wanted to ask) - is this right? Or is it just my overactive imagination wanting to read politics into songs? Also "If You're Feeling Sinister" has to be on my favourite songs of 1998 in a similar sort of context (not being published in 98, but by being "topical" to my own life) in that I am having trouble reconciling my own Christianity (that borders on the sacreligious, but I don't think God is such a jealous bastard as some make him out to be) with the christianity of some of the Christian Union.... and my friend within is called Hillary... scary, isn't it? No it's not, she's really sweet and I'd expect her to be, she is a christian after all, but I get scared by the whole thought of the evangelical movement and I can see why people become atheists!!!!
