All the news thats print to fit for 2000: Heres what RoTa have planned for next year: 15th Jan Stone Valley and TBC 17th Jan Rex Records Djs, Kathryn Williams 22nd Jan White Hotel, Lincoln and January 29th Jan Fierce Panda Showcase with Seafood 31st Jan We Love You Showcase with Shawn Lee 5th Feb Shifty Disco Showcase 7th Feb Le Tigre TBC 12th Feb Earworm Showcase 14th Feb Creeping Bent Showcase Nectarine No 9, Element and Speeder 19th Feb Soulwax 21st Feb Chicks on Speed 26th Feb Dreamy Records Showcase with Arco 4th March Ochre Records Showcase 13th March OH Papa M European tour kicks off in Feb starting in the UK around the 1st. Live From a Shark Cage is definately worth picking up. David Grubbs (Gastr Del Sol) will be releasing a new album and might also come over. Ditto Glyn Styler. For those of you unfortunate not to have encountered the wonderful Mr Styler yet, hes one of those old-fashioned singer-songwriters that recall Jimmy Webb, Randy Newman, Scott Walker. His Live at The Mermaid Lounge is a heart-breaking spit and sawdust affair and includes a venomous cover of Cry Me A River for when you heart as been broken by some *bastard/bitch*. Jim O'Rouke's new single 'halfway to threeway' is a charming off the shoulder number that sounds B&S'ish, Domino have pursuaded him to come over so watch those ads.

Sinister: Love jumped through my window last night
by Martin Robinson 10 Dec '99

10 Dec '99

Hello, Ok so it wasn't love that jumped through my window it was a cat. And technically ,no, it didn't jump it just stared through the open window. But you know what I mean. And don't ask why my window was open in the midst of winter as I'd have to explain the eccentricities of the central heating in my abode, and that would involve diagrams and a Liebig Condenser's and it would all get a bit tricky. Back to the cat though, my instant reaction in face of this tabby lardy intruder from down the road was to spit loudly and supposedly catlike, which is quite difficult to do without projecting phlegm, at said cat. As it wandered off eventually I heard a very strange noise, I swear it was laughing at me. Ho hum... Today I have become exceedingly frustrated with the contemporary music scene, by this I mean I've forgotten to bring any CD's to work to listen to. Therefore, I've decided to invent a new musical genre for the next century. That being: Gangster Indiepop. It shall be bands wearing clothes they stole from their parents, and songs about stealing sweets from the tuckshop, not paying for the whole journey on the bus, playing knock down ginger (and I don't mean punching Geri Haliwell) and other real life documentation's from the streets of Suburbia. And they'll mean it maaan. And while we're down with the Gangster scene, I still haven't bloody found that new Stereolab CD though I still have the case and cover. Which like Brad's haemorrhoids is a complete pain in the a(r)s(s)(e). If anyone wants to be part of the Gangster scene and copy it for me, preferably onto CD, they would get a lot of props and stuff, and I'd do them something or someone in return like. I just B*grudge buying the same CD twice. B*grudge by the way are the grungy alter-ego band of B*witched that play grunge with a Celtic flavour. Nice. And also bizarrely this week I've been told I could possibly be sent to Paris, France for 6 weeks to do some "user acceptability testing". I've know idea what this involves, but if it does mean saying yes this is acceptable and no this really isn't acceptable alternatively whilst drinking red wine and munching cheese then I feel I am totally capable of doing this. But I suspect my boss could be one of those nice apocalypticphobe types and he's just making up stuff for everyone so they have a joyous last three weeks of existence. Anyhow I must apologise for my length, it's got a mind of its own. Te ra, Martin ear confection recordings (http:/www.send.demon.co.uk) P.S I've noticed the appending of private messages to mails so I've subscribed my mum to the list now to keep her informed. Mum, can you clean the projected phlegm off my window and I'll be home at 5 for tea. Can I have fish cakes? Please!! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Say no to Oslo/ say yes to porno
by jarkko frantila 10 Dec '99

10 Dec '99

Lovely Erica said this: >How on *earth* could I qualify as a grunger? Well I WAS a grunger, back in the days Kurt still had his head. People actually called me Grungy (haha). And yes, I stank. And yes, I was angry with the world. And I didn't wash my hair often enough. And I had an Alice In Chains- t-shirt, FAAAARRRR too big, of course. But that was 1993. Now it's 1999, I wear a bit too small t-shirts (with Little Prince printed on the one I'm wearing now, isn't it cute? See? See?), I'm in love with the world, I wash my har every day. And this one guy who is of a friend of a friend called me "a fucking nerd." So I've changed, you see? And then Erica continued: >They'd have me hung by my pink tights ...and I found myself sexually aroused by that. These days, even a cats mioaw gets my hormones going. On on and on Erica went: >Why not embroider a few of your favourite words, or your fake name into the >lining of your coat? I'm currently in the process of embroidering the words >"Yes I do but not with you" in tiny red sequins onto the back pocket of my >jeans. Just a little thought. Brilliant idea! I could maybe-possibly-if-the-time-was-right make myself a "No my glasses are real I'm not using these for nothing you silly arsehole stop fooooking asking me that same question all over again you guys make me want to puke you think that just because you've been thinking of using fake black rimmed glasses makes me a fucking faker too well I'm not so sod off do you know her well could you introduce me to her 'cause she has the prettiest brown eyes in the world and I'm a sucker for brown eyes and her face is pretty too and her hair looks cool."- shirt. But that would mean I'd have to start wearing those XL- sized t-shirts again. So I'll just say the same as I've always done when asked that question about my glasses: "Yes." And then I smile. But now I'm gone. @--->--- A rose, love and other stuff that makes you fell funny in your tummy, Jake > >Erica >x > > >+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ > +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ > To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

...... any advice for interviews WOULD be very useful. This is a very long-shot, but has anyone had interviews for: Nottingham - School of Economics, School of Computing York - School of Computing unlikely, but ive got to try! And Tom said: "My girlfriend applied for medicine at Newcastle and failed to get in because they felt her Pulp T-shirt prooved she wasn't serious enough about the course!" Which scared me. Arent you supposed to dress as poshly as possible for interviews?

Sinister: Rollercoaster of love
by Tom Lennox 09 Dec '99

09 Dec '99

Thanks for all the band name suggestions and concerns about my welfare in this freezing winter. Mam has been informed that a nice thick coat would be the order of the day this xmas. Every christmas I think am I too old for good presents of my parents... now I'm 21 do I have to look forward to a token ill chosen suprise gift from dad. I know its a greedy thought but greeds what the festive season is all about. I take back that `token gift` bit though - theres nothing token about 100% cotten underwear. BabyChris Crystalballs queried: "I've got my medicine interview for glasgow uni next wednesday, and I'm pretty scared. I've been told that they might ask u about the music u like, and I don't know if they would be put off by my taste (they might think that I'm a corrupt vote rigger) any advice on interview 'technique' wouldn't go amiss" Whoever told you that is horriblely misleading you. My girlfriend applied for medicine at Newcastle and failed to get in because they felt her Pulp T-shirt prooved she wasn't serious enough about the course! Still I guess we wouldn't have met if she'd suceeded in breaking into the very select medicine crowd. Different social circles you know. Like Nick Leigh I was scared by the xmas Radio Times listings for C4 and I'm afraid I don't share his optomism. I've heard lots about C4s millenial plans but no mention of a Murdoch/Moyles TV fest. Time to worry? Wrap up tightly and thanks for making me feel one of the garden gang Love Tom +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: its a shifty disco thing! (no really)
by Jenny Hodgson 09 Dec '99

09 Dec '99

does mrs erica supply anyone else with copious fashion ideas, both for fun, and profit?i must say,i do enjoy your talk of incomparable style and panache, and thankyou also for reminding me what i was going to harp on about on being released from the penitentiary that *is* the nursery,,, indie discos...ah, my favourite thing...you can hear my handclaps the whole town through on thei occasional playing of 'the Boy With', and the dodgy cider and technicolor drinks, and intimidating people wearing tee shirts that say 'Indier then Thou' across their chests, and they stare in a most frightening fashion...but enough of my paranoia... .oh, and whoops, I'm new around these parts so, hello and all that, and i won't put you through one of those 'who am i?' things, cos I'm sure you don't what to hear carefuly edited details about some random persons life all that much, and it would only clog up your inboxes, now I'm sucking up to Honey (can i call you Honey?) but I'm minding my Ps and Qs at the mo.....actually, my old primary teacher was called Miss Honey, like in Matilda and all that, and she was really nice and lovely and always made sure our milk wasn't warm and things.ok , so i feel a childhood regression coming on......in any case, i'm betting a sweetie necklace and seven shiny glass marbles that he (master mitchell) doesn't look anything like my miss honey.... believe.....mind you, they always say the quiet ones are the worst, or something... ....in any case, i don't think i've got much to add to this place apart from the odd random story and some knitting patterns (yes, you Mrs Jenowl) however, my knitting is not going all top notch-ly at the mo.....in short, i have no coordination, and can't decide whether to knit some hideous green bed socks (cos , hey! its getting cold ok?and don't you find your ankles and toes stick out of the duvet?) or a very very long hideous green Doctor Who scarf (hideous green yarn was in the sale at Mrs Muggins Haberdasheries) tra la la...so, indeed, this is me jumping into the pit of smut and depravity that IS the sinister mailing list, or so the likes of Select (spit) would have us believe.....mind you, they always say the quiet ones are the worst, or something... jennifer (oh damn i wish i had a middle name, they seem to be the latest fashion) hodgson +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: WHY WERE MOST ANARCHISTS RUSSIAN NOBLEMEN?
by NALeigh82＠aol.com 09 Dec '99

09 Dec '99

Hi I'm slightly scared, and confused, for two reasons. I just bought a copy of the Christmas Radio Times and the Millenium Night/Morning on Channel 4 is dominated by an 8 and a half hour Big Breakfast Marathon. I still assume that the apocalypse tube will be incorperated into the evening because there is no way anyone could tollerate Johnny Vaughn for that length of time. My main problem is that at the same time on BBC2 is 'The Book of Life' by Hal Hartley so i'll have to give up my �4000 Gatecrasher ticket and stay in cos I can't tape both of them. I just received a single today by a group called Clock Strikes Thirteen entitled 'When we Were together'. It is truly wonderful, has anyone else heard of them? If you're interested in buying their single, which is really cheap, then I can give you the relevent e-mail address to order it as I don't want to infringe any sinister rules on advertising by posting it to everyone, but I think everyone should buy it. The guy at their record company in the U.K. said I was the first person to enquire about that single. Bye Nick Leigh p.s. I don't have a ticket for the gatecrasher EXTRAVAGANZA on dec 31st/jan 1st and have never been to a trendy night club in my life. + the question in the subject was purely rhetorical but I wouldn't mind discussing the topic with someone. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
