Sinister: Punch-a-go-go...

> I thought Sensitive Stan was very, very funny. Which reminds > me. Neelie Wheelie will be in some band at that thing in Sheffield. > Tag's never met Neelie Wheelie. I'm looking forward to his reaction. Indeed he will, he's a bit-part vocalist in a bnad called "Plouf!", and whilst not as twee as his other outfit "Bouquet", they will more-than-likely arouse the ire of many. But please refrain from violence towards him (unlike the bloke from Orlando at the Sarah 100 party) - as co-organiser of Pop-a-go-go I don't want any blood spilt, especially over my records....and if there is going to be violence then I'll only regret having not gone the whole hog and scattered a few of my favourite Oi! bands throughout the bill...

Sinister: Invented by Madame Curie...
by Alasdair Cook MS1996 01 Feb '99

01 Feb '99

I don't like to issue imperatives very often, but here's 2 anyway 1. Watch the Nick Drake documentary this week 2. Buy both Divine Comedy National Express singles, for the fantastic covers of Kraftwerk's 'Radioactivity' and The Magnetic Fields' 'Famous'. Apologies for not having anything more interesting to say, but I just can't be bothered since the weight of the world crushed my spirit. That last bit was a joke, kind of. Put it this way, I'm not bloody Martin Rossiter.

Sinister: Holiday Snaps
by Warrander John - FML 01 Feb '99

01 Feb '99

Morning pips, Some crazed Australian nutter's been saying I vowed never to return??? Bloody cheek, I've only been on my holidays. I went to Scarborough and it was very nice. Just like the film "Little Voice" that was filmed there. Anyway, I've nowt to say really. Just thought I'd gloat a bit cos I'm off up to Glasgow on Wednesday to see Evie. I'm not sure I know who Evie Sands is really but the word on the street seems to be saying it's hip to be into her groove and that's good enough for me. I hope some people are going to the indiepop all-dayer at Sheffield's Boardwalk on Saturday 20th Feb. "Pop A-Go-Go" it's called, and I'm getting a new striped t-shirt and anorak for the occasion. Will "Young & Foolish" be available from the fanzine stall? Can we meet up and swap lollipops? Oh, and I've got to clear big gay Julian's name. I saw the big fellow at the weekend and he denies sending anything to this list last Friday, muttering something about how he'd have been much more abusive and had a thing or two to say about some other fucking people too!!! Julian scares me. I got a parcel in the post from Japan today. It contained the the soft rock compilation "It's a soft rock world", a Four King Cousins' album and the latest Pizzicato 5 single. That's just me gloating again. If you're not jealous, then you bloody well should be. I thought Sensitive Stan was very, very funny. Which reminds me. Neelie Wheelie will be in some band at that thing in Sheffield. Tag's never met Neelie Wheelie. I'm looking forward to his reaction. And why do people assume Sensitive Stan isn't real? I've met many young men of that persuasion in my time. Usually they were in front of me in the queue at record shops. Often they'd be buying 7" singles on that label known as "Sarah" <eek!>. I agree with Cynthia's boyfriend that "everyone has one primary emotion that underlies everything one does". Mine is happiness. That's just me gloating again. Anyway, I went to a "pop quiz" in our local pub with a lady friend last night. We got trounced. What a loser. I feel small. I'm not fucking gloating now, eh? Put a little love in your heart people Love...John PS I'd just like to announce to the list that I lost my virginity last night. Actually, it wasn't last night. It was about a year ago. Just after a Cardigans' show. I hope you all think it's big and clever of me to share these things with you. PPS If anybody is interested in my pet name for Mick McMick, send me a private mail and I'll be happy to share it with you. PPPS Joss, mails to you keep getting returned saying "user-ID unknown" or something like that. Are we in a "Return To Sender" type scenario here or is this a real technical hitch? +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: bored (as you can tell)
by Genevieve Wesley 01 Feb '99

Dear Diary, Mama says belle and sebastian can't hear me when i talk to them through the posters on my wall. why is she so senile. this morning,i posed naked in front of a paint splattered canvas while listening to 'dog on wheels' because i know stuart murdoch would want me to do this. i do it all for him. mister bojangles,mister bojangles. all this diary fun reminds of a time when i broke into a friends diary, (bad,i know) i wasn't doing it to be mean or anything,anyways..what shocked me the most was how dull she kept her diary,she wouldn't even write the name of this boy she liked for fear that someone would read her diary (well..maybe that was good judegment after all) so i wrote in lots of things scandalous things and arty poems,it was quite fun and hilarious at the time. this is one of those days where you have a million things to do and you don't do them,you just let yourself get distracted...and i just don't get into the super bowl spirit...and o joy! physics first thing tomorrow so great when you have add.. fluffy sarah,i think one of the members of gomez tried to attack you..:) i keep sensing some anger directed at them..are they really considered so bad? i can't keep up with these bands,everything from the uk is 'indie' to quebec,but i'm guessing these bands are like our tea party and tragically hip? if so...then i can understand... i liked that 'love is better than a warm trombone' song though,but mainly because a dashing young record lad said it was good,oh the influence...he said they sounded like joe cocker,i don't know who joe cocker is,but i pertended like i did..for some reason i thought he meant tom cocharane (doesn't he have a brother named joe cocker?)..he of "life is a highway,and i'm gonna ride it all night long!" fame, remember that song! but i know jack all about 80's pop bands...i don't know what's in what s out! john,i really liked that she-wolf of the gatineau.it lets me pertend for a little bit. i would like to be a princess,i would be a nice one and have a glorious un-greedy kingdom..well try to anyways..and i would sleep on a big pile of pillows! satin ones. sweet dreams, genevieve gingersnap ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: too shy shy
by James 01 Feb '99

01 Feb '99

Hello girls and boys Well, I've just got back from a long weekend in York (very long actually, it started on Wednesday), where I saw my friend play her first gig in her fabby band Carolyn. Before I went I gave it a quick plug on the list but I'm sure none of you remember that. Anyway while I was there I kept on seeing a cute Belle and Sebastian boy in a Stowe t-shirt and a duffle coat and some squarey specs and I wanted to go and say hello but I was just too shy, so I didn't. And then me and Melanie got silly on red wine and after giggling and falling and bouncing we drooped and moaned and wept because we like shy boys (she has a shy boy too who's tall and lovely but too shy), but we're shy too and so much pining happens and little else. This was just a bit of my life I wanted to share with you. If the cute York Belle and Sebastian boy is reading this sorry for labelling you shy - I've never even met you. But you looked shy. Doozer constructions are made out of potato starch. The Bonnie 'Prince' Billy album is the most dark and beautiful thing you are likely to hear for a long time. Thats all.
