Hi everyone - I will be flying into Austin, TX for two days and was wondering if anyone can recommend bars/pubs/raves/indie music or clothing stores to visit while there. Hello to all the current and displaced DC people, Kim, Thaian, Andy, Pam and Damon.

Sinister: nick drake documentary
by Tjonrr＠aol.com 02 Feb '99

02 Feb '99

so i wish i hadnt bothered watching it now cause though theres these songs which matter to you and say something to you things like this and the recent biography only serve to remind you that their made by this well off public schoolboy just about as far removed from you as possible. but i suppose it doesnt matter really, i mean, chances are he was just this posh kid who liked to portray himself as a tortured artist and who never really got out of the morbid adolescent doom and gloom phase that most of us go through when we re thirteen, and his luvvie friends make him out to be some etheral genius on a level with the classic poets, but at the end of the day just listen to the records cause at the end of the day its the songs that matter,yeah? sorry if that doesnt make much sense, i mean, im trying to get it straight in my head and im not very good with words, but im trying my best here. from tjohn +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: BEHIND THE LAYERS OF THE OIGNON LAYS A HEN
by Alix Campbell 02 Feb '99

02 Feb '99

hello sweeties i have just converted my jeans into flares and it has gone horribly wrong. they look absurd. the problem is they're my only pair of trousers without risque holes in, and i have to wear them to work tomorrow. i am a fule. it seemed such an easy thing to do, but proved mighty tough. i ought to have taken textiles. it would have been a darned sight more handy than graphics. and i'd know how to work a sewing machine without breaking it. i am stuck with trousers that look stupid now. like baggy gone even wronger than it went anyway. and i missed that nick drake thingy last night. i went to bed at 8.45 accompanied by a migraine. today however has been great fun. that was a lie. i took the train to bicester, (pronounced 'bister'. or 'hell', if you like to keep your syllable output to a minimum), simply because i haven't been to bicester in years. it served only to remind me why i had stayed away that long. they didn't have any bellendsebastian in woolworths, just steps. tragedy indeed. but they did have barbie tablecloths. i stared at those for a while, before thinking 'pull yerself together, lad'. i wandered back to the station about 1/2 hour before my train left, out of boredom, went to a garage to buy something to read, couldn't find anything, save shit girly stuff, so i opted for 'minx', because it was £2 and i admired its no nonsense price. if it had been, say, £1.95, i would have left it on the shelf. having now perused it, i must say i did find the article on 'the lies men tell' so interesting that i was forced to fall asleep. likewise the 'what kind of girl are you?' piece. i was most disappointed to find i wasn't any of the types listed. does this mean i'm not a girl? i so wanted to be 'ambitious girl' (um, i'm joking). anyway, the moral of this story is don't go to bicester. and don't buy magazines for women. and don't even attempt anything involving sewing machines. that's all really. loads of love ~ ~ Cratylus 'I WANT to break the HEAD OFF, I want a toy that ROCKS, because SANTA bought a multitude and I'm playing with the box. There won't be any SUNSHINE, there won't be any RAIN.

I hate to show my ignorance so horribly.. but I must, as curiousity gets the best of me. What does "twee" mean? I've heard it used many times now and just don't grasp the meaning. I think it means a sort of music but don't know what kind. Compliment or no? sorry to clutter up the list dave (apologetic smile) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

OK, so I only have 2 LOOOOOOOOPER songs, but you can have those and for the rest, I'll do a marvellous Welsh Pop mix. Can I read "How to masturbate women" as well please? Um, just for....research. Yeah, thats it. Honest. I've updated my website....with JAVASCRIPT! Thanks Andy for helping me when I got stuck! And I did ALL my Javascript MYSELF!

Sinister: sensitive smut for the masses
by Emanuel Brown 02 Feb '99

02 Feb '99

hey-lo my, my aren't we all so sensitive these days! we should all give ourselves a big pat on the ass. hurrah for our team! where are the stans of yore (sensitive and sleazy) who left much laughter and indignation in their wake? not being one to pay too close attention, i didn't notice if they happened to be from the same address. a little well placed schizophrenia can brighten up any dreary old music list, i think, tho' there may be those who'd disagree. of course no woman in her right mind would want a "sensitive stan" and the reasons already stated are perfectly sound. as one friend told me after a disastrous relationship with one such sensitivian, "...in the back of my mind, i wondered whether or not he wasn't just gay-in-the-closet or at least some kind of momma's boy." that may not be sound logic, but at least its honest. it sure is nice to hold hands and cuddle but what happens when you need a little more than that? what will sensitive stan do then? curl up in the fetal position and cry, i'll bet, and i'll cry with him. 'cause its a shame that its easier to accept repressive gender roles instead of trying to find connections that will fulfill our little lives. so, ladies of the list: what kind of man do you want? real b&s content: finally, fleshed out my b&s vinyl collection. all i need is tigermilk and my nefarious plan will be complete! (180 gram vinyl rocks) thanks to a few friends and i, belle & sebastian are a frequent request at my local brooklyn lounge with "stars of track & field" and "sleep the clock around" being two faves. is sebastian still with us? if so thanks pal, "american water" is soooo amazing. hey arantxa, i'm amazed that you would have us believe that you've buried your little artifact away, feigning shock at its gaudiness, when we all know you're tucked away at night secretly scanning its dusty pages for smutty revelations. or maybe you're just upset that you can't read it properly without your glasses. ttfn emanuel x o x o Free, fast e-mail accessible anytime, anywhere http://www.imaginemail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: sweet music and airborne irishfolk
by Joss Moorkens 02 Feb '99

02 Feb '99

Hey fellers. So I went to see Will Oldham in Dublin last week. The gentleman was tremendous. On the first night, it was all gentle and songy. Then on the second night Will was clearly fucked up on wowee sauce. Loads of whooping and hollering and noisy bits. Loads of songs from 'Joya'. Both nights were great and almost no songs were repeated - always a good thing. Afterwards we hung around in the hallowed confines of the band room since my pal Joan of Arse was supporting. I said hello cos I'd put on Will's first couple gigs in Dublin. Naturally he didn't recognise me at all, but he did point out that he could see 4 of me and gave me whiskey which made me ill. Then he tried to chat up my ex girlfriend. Anyways, my point had been that I can heartily recommend going to one of these Bonnie Prince Billy gigs in addition to the fine new LP. I'm all excited today, because tomorrow my floppy haired flatmate and I jet off to Glasgow to see this Evie Sands spectacular. I was near Glasgow once before for a fishing tackle exhibition, but I didn't see any members of Dawson, Belle and Sebastian or Del Amitri. An error which I expect to see rectified this time around. Not only that, but Looper gigs in Dublin. This is a good thing. Just hope it isn't in the Mean Fiddler. Although this here beggar wouldn't dream of attempting to impersonate a chooser. Cheerio Joss (who hasn't heard the Looper LP but is perfectly willing to wait) PS Is it just my childish humour, or would it be more amusing if the Tag & Keith boy band were called Woodz? I thought so. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
