Sinister: More shameless self-promotion (Amphetameanies gigs)
by mickcooke＠lycosmail.com 13 Dec '99

13 Dec '99

Here's the details for two gigs the Amphetameanies have coming up: (by the way, all the words are our bass-player Gordy's, not mine) Thursday 23rd December Cas Rock Edinburgh The Amphetameanies and The Newtown Grunts double bill. This will be our second Christmas do with the Grunts at the Cas Rock. If you were there last year you either: A) had a great time B) can't remember a thing or C) were working for the emergency services Expect the usual over-refreshed performances, stage gimmicks and brass instrument-related violence. Tickets will be reasonably priced, and the doors should open around about 9.00pm, but details will undoubtedly remain hazy for a few weeks yet. Friday 31st December King Tuts Wah Wah Hut St. Vincent Street Glasgow Hogmanay Party The Last Gig of the 20th Century - featuring The Amphetameanies Suppository Business (all the way from Shetland) The Atomic Brains (Glasgow punk supergroup) (hmmm) + SkaHound SurroundSound DJs Early show: doors open at 6pm - back on the street, pished and ready for the Bells by 10pm-ish. Cheap £6.50 ticket also gets you a share of the stomach-lining buffet (if you're not too late), a free haircut (only a limited number of styles will be attempted - participation optional), access to one-off festive Buckfast cocktails at promo prices, and lots of other nonsense we are still working on. Probably a souvenir photo or badge or something. Tickets available thru King Tuts, Virgin (the new big one on Buchanan Street), Missing and the usual ticket outlets via credit card, should you have such a thing.

Sinister: Batter the devil you know
by Jay Kayroo 12 Dec '99

12 Dec '99

Why, it seems there is becomming a semi-renaissance (spelling police dont look up from your greasy donuts) in shoe batering. So Laurel and hardy were the pioneers? And there was i under the misguided impression that the male gingertosser (mr Chris Evans, as opposed to Gerri...but why not cilla?) invented the concept on an episode of 'dont forget your toothbrush' where he had audience tarts zooming off on on motor bikes to the nearest chippy, the first to return battered won the chance to light his lemon. (Which is always besy squeezed on cod not sole) As for the subject line, i am feeling a little miffed that Dame Kylie herself was doing a signing of books on Pitt st in sydney the other week, and everyone neglected to tell me!!! I would have loved to shake hands with the subject of my 1989 wall candy extravaganza, and peck her. ..and back onto junk food, there's a new 'delicacy' here in oz i tried for the first time last night. A 'McFlurry'. It's not only gross but an absolute con. They take the same ice cream used in two 30 cent cones, slosh it in a plastic cup, mix it with some mini m and m's, nerds or oreos, and charge two bucks thirty for it! I nominate we batter Ronald McDonald.

Re: Sinister: A Half of Big BK Whopper Stella Artois

Hi everybody: IŽve visited the sinister page, with my first look to the bodyparts section. I must say that both girls showing THEIR tits and bum are very daring, something that deserves my admiration. But I also have my own theory: without even realising, sending an anonymous pic of your parts to this page can be something similar to those restaurants in Japan where the customers can throw the dishes to a wall, just after putting themselves some big glasses to cover their eyes: theyŽre just letting theirselves off steam (sorry if itŽs not the right expression, but I think that you understand me). Sarita ex-peluche dijo: "Listees with photographic memories will remember when I mentioned the Best Spanish Song in the world EVER, "Por Que Te Vas", which featured in the Best Spanish Film that I've seen for oh, days, "Cria Cuervos". Well fetch me my monkey and allow me to wank it! Kahimi Karie, a Japanese popstress the like of which there are bluddy loads actually, has only gone and covered it! Fans of "Por Que Te Vas", which you all should be else you smell - will be disappointed to hear that she does nothing spanking new and bouncy and mysterioso with the song. And even more sad they spent £5.50 on a single, for one song. Which isn't really worth it. It also has a song about Mike Always Diary! Its seems everyones on a Bridget Jones kick these days! " Noooo !!!! the best spanish song is a glorious one, called "Un rayo de sol" by a mighty band called Formula Quinta !!! This song made them sooo famous that one of their members did something similar to became an ermit, itŽs jump to be the spanish general director for Sega. IŽm saying this because we had these two people called Jarvis Cocker & Steve Mackey DJing here last friday, and they began their set with this song (Jarvis also had two bottles at the beggining, but I wonŽt follow), and they also played Looper. What a link.... Thanks to everyone who replied me on the Fight Club piece of work. I just want to know If i can find some more articles on the net about the "controversy" of itŽs violence. IŽm a lumberjack and IŽm ok /Sha la la uo o o.....

Sinister: Lying on the floor, with my best friend
by Erica MacArthur 12 Dec '99

12 Dec '99

Hello again, I just thought I'd pop my head round the door again to say that members of Belle and Sebastian, you know, that top pop duo, are going to be on the phone (at some point) on Steve Lurpack's evening session tommorow night. So that means you'll have to listen to lots of lovely bang-clash-indie-dross and 'intelligent' hip hop for two hours in the hope of catching five minutes of crackled mumbling. Probably. Also, you might have heard, but Legal Man is Mark and Lard's single of the week so they will be playing it every day on their show. Mummy even says it's been put on the Radio One play list good and proper, so you can all break out in cold sweats now in anticipation of five year olds/the record buying public (damn them!) buying the product of your beloved. Heaven forbid they should make some money! I quite like the idea of a sinister uniform, but I'll have no mention of T-shirts, it's got to be straighten-up smart, with gold buttons and lapels. What will we do in our uniforms? Storm the city, with military like precision, and bring the system to it's knees? That would be good. But we must make sure we don't just throw a few chairs around in Macdonald's like those other chaps. The new Black Box Recorder Album is very precious. It's just so clever, so pretty...and so horrible. I keep having a dream that I'm dancing with Luke Haines in a Ballroom on the end of a pier, it's really quiet apart from the floating sound of an old fashioned piano banging out a waltz. I think if you like the way that Struan sings dirty words in a soft voice, you'll like The Facts of Life. I recommend.

Sinister: and the moment will come when composure returns
by Owen Lowery 12 Dec '99

12 Dec '99

'allo peeps it's me innit. I'm dead happy today cos I finally got my student loan yesterday. I immediately went out and bought a new shirt (velcro fastening for easy access...Mmmmm) and then went out and got hideously drunk before waking up with some girl this afternoon(I guess the new shirt worked). Also I've finished all my work for the year and so all I need to do is wait till I've had my one exam on friday and then I'm free WooHoo!!! Also spent some of my loan on a Cherry Red compilation album from 1982 so when I get home from uni (I have no record player up here) I'll be able to listen to a Felt track that I haven't heard before as well as a track by Attila the Stockbroker which sounds like it must be great just 'cos of the guys name. Strange though...the record cost me a fiver but had "pay no more than 99p" printed on the sleeve.....bloody second hand record shops. Finally I'm going to mention a certain band in a vain attempt to make it seem like this list is actually about them. Question: why does nobody on the list refer to sleep the clock around as 'slap the cock around' anymore, it used to be vaguely humourous to peurile minds like mine. love you all (but some more than others), owen 'the strange wizardy bloke' lowery +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Monster X on planet O
by Steve Kado 12 Dec '99

12 Dec '99

there is so much to tell you. so much to say.... my korg just electrocuted me a bit, it took me a while to realize that i was being gently electrocuted instead of that funny feeling in my fingers being caused by some kind of repetive strain injury. also i saw a duck sneeze. how about that. speaking of embroidering words on clothes, i've been doing the more ghetto thing and just writing on t-shirts with markers. if anyone knows where to get those iron-on letters i'd be ever so greatful. my current favourite t-shirt slogans are "i am _not_ a bad dude." and "i enjoy soy". i saw jim o'rourke the other day, he was doing an impromptu show at the bar code since the stereolab show was canceled. he looks like meat-loaf and his vocal mic was turned down too low. i guess, nothing could have stopped me from being in a bad mood (as i was indeed very upset that the lab had canceled on me) so i'm afraid jim's set seemed kind of uneven. he did pull out some winners tho, he rocked out on halfway to a threeway turning out a real vanhalen style guitar solo and such...it was bitchen. then i smoked some 'rear 247', stuck my head in the door at the 'international colouring contest' party (where some girl handed me a rose, which was nice of her) and went home to bed. being accosted by girls distributing roses most certainly beats the usual crowd of middle-aged 'photographers' who normally follow me around. those men need a good battering if you ask me. steven kado still rocking the bodenstaendig 2000 album that the world needs to hear. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Stuart David in GQ Shocker
by Michele Waggner 12 Dec '99

12 Dec '99

Let no one make fun of Stuart David's fashion sense at all anymore... same old t-shirt or no, no matter if it smells of wee or not... GQ magazine, that monolithic arbiter of men's style, fashion and taste, has named "Up a Tree" to its list of Top Twenty Albums of the year in the December issue. Ok, it's near the bottom, number 18, but it says: "Looper. Up a Tree (SubPop). Scottish pop from the Belle and Sebastian camp that isn't, well, so damn crybaby." Beat out David Bowie's latest, but was beaten by such as Flaming Lips, Moby, Joe Strummer, Mary J. Blige... nah, you don't want to know. Yours, --I.B. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

"we've got everything but snow". ha. speaking of which (exams, that is), does anyone have any suggestions for surviving this horrendous next few days of studying? stereolab, Duke Ellington and looper have thus far kept me smiling + Amused, but I fear for my sanity. I hold and treasure dearly that which I have left. (just caught myself singing along to ninety-eight degrees.. oh dear.) despite the abundance of poems this week, what has happened to the parrot? he seemed oh so fun. i might have just missed him though, in which case i profoundly apologize. baby, let me love you to the ninety-eighth degree. love, lola. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
