Sinister: Why does no-one talk about 2 Live Kazoo on this list?
by andrew dean 22 Mar '99

22 Mar '99

or, more to the point, why does no-one talk about Belle and Sebastian on this list? (which will probably get me attacked once again by assorted scousers to who i can only say: 'hey, hey, calm down...') talking of belle and sebastian, there were several articles in the press this weekend, largely reviews of the two off shoot albums. the Observer compared the two and came out in favour of the Gentle Waves album (which bodes really well given how good the looper one was). apparently the Gentle Waves one cost 3000 or so pounds (not quite enough according to the Observer) and the Looper one cost about 12 (the price of one DAT!). i did, of course, entirely forget to bring the papers in today so i could transcribe them for you all but i'll try and remember tomorrow. (oh, the other articles being a mini Isobel feature in NME last wednesday and a review of the Looper rough trade shop thing. there were also pieces in this month's Face which i will have to buy sometime for double page spread of the new lego star wars minifigs...) b&s cds also feature in the current virgin sale btw - i saw IYFS for a tenner over the weekend. andy who's cave is NOT hairy. so shut it. == andrew dean (koogydelbbog(a)yahoo.com) _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Sinister: Black Box Recorder gig! (NON B&S)
by Kin Woo 22 Mar '99

22 Mar '99

Could any listee who is going to the Black Box Recorder gig at the Highbury Garage on March 24 please bootleg it for me??? I'd give my right tooth (what an odd saying!) to hear it. "England Made Me" was my favourite record of last year and was hoping against hope to see 'em when I went to London. I mean they're a side project (though hopefully not a one-off) and they hardly perform and I would just have loved to see 'em. So please any listees who are going, please bootleg it if you can and trade with poor old me-who-has-now-returned-to-boring-old Perth:) Have read the glowing review of their gig the previous month in the NME and I can't believe they played new songs like "Art of Driving" and "English Motorway System"!!! How cool is that? Now I'm even more desperate to hear it:) If you wanna trade, I can tape stuff for you as well- I've got tons of stuff, maybe some you are interested in- I've got tons of rare Tindersticks (all the albums including "Donkeys", all their early vinyl recordings up to 1995), Belly (again, lots of rare stuff), and gazilions others including Sparklehorse, Air, Andrea Parker, Black Box Recorder, Teenage Fanclub, Pulp, Beth Orton Beck, Lush, Garbage, Throwing Muses, One Dove, Dot Allison, Portishead, live B&S, LIVE St Et and so much more!

Sinister: this is happening with the betsey trotwood's permission
by pamela berry 22 Mar '99

22 Mar '99

morning all, apologies for posting about a london-based event to those that don't give a dang, if you're not going to be in town april 22, that's the thursday night before bowlie, delete this message at will... there was trousers talk, as there often is round these parts ha cha cha, of setting up a show at the poetry cafe on that thursday since so many people will be in town just hankering for a place to relax and listen to some smooth sounds and meet up with friends and such, but the poetry cafe has got the absolute cheek to have a poetry event already scheduled for that night! fucking poetry, always rearing its head and stomping on my buzz. so we've put together a thursday night gathering at a pub somewhere else, with live music and live reading and a live bartender, three great tastes that taste great together. hope some of you can make it! here are the details: thursday, april 22, 7:30pm upstairs at the betsey trotwood pub 56 farringdon road, farringdon tube £3 only to witness and hear the now! sounds of: Harvey Williams Piezoelectric Unit featuring the Duke of Harringay Jim Shepherd no extra charge to witness and hear the wow! sounds of trousers and joe warming up the crowd and the p.a. early on with a couple of special secret covers, as well as the how? sounds of timmylou hopkins and myself attempting the same just before that. the order I've listed those three up there has no bearing at all on the order they're playing, which is up to them and hasn't really been decided yet. so get there early and don't miss out on anything! what's in store for the evening? well, harvey's got a new record out in april, and my money's on him playing some of his new lovely tunes. the duke will have, among other things, some reading going on for us from the good book. speaking of which, anybody who's been hankering for their very own copy of Young and Foolish, bring your allowance, as there will be copies in the house! how excited am I that jim shepherd, he being the genius behind the superfine jasmine minks, is playing?! pretty damn excited, it has to be said. I can't wait to see what he's up to these days. if anybody has any questions about how to get to the betsey trotwood or thinks his or her life would be richer if they had a jasmine minks tape or something so they know why I'm so crazy thrilled about it all, feel free to drop me a line off the list. and if you do a fanzine or have a record or anything, please do bring your stuff and walk around trying to get rid of it. ten years ago people used to come up to me at shows asking if I'd buy a fanzine or their records all the time, and it was great because I'm a soft touch, and not one to hover and be in the way long enough to suss out what I need at a table full of stuff. how come nobody on this list talks about the visitors? tim hopkins would have you believe that his recording history is limited to a single track on a sha-la-la flexi but I have it on great authority that matinee records out of washington, dc has a visitors seven inch or two slated for release. you *can* take your glo-worms of yesteryear, I'll have another order of the visitors, please. and a double order of mashed potatoes. how come nobody on this list talks about mashed potatoes? I'm off now to go work on my permission letter to ask the powers that be if, as it has been rumored, I'm allowed to actually leave the camber sands festival during the bands I don't fancy and go do something else off-base! I never realized I could do that before and now I feel all empowered! well I will feel empowered if the band lets me, I mean. maybe my request for camp leave will have more sway if I bake someone special a cake with a clipboard done in pink icing and those purty silver balls on top? oh I do love to bake, almost as much as I love to be generalized about as a fan, doesn't matter to me if it's the music press or an indie label head. ah, best to leave it, what's the point of getting all cranky about other cranky people when there's chocolate and beer in the fridge and club 8 to be listening to today instead? hope I see some of you at the show! xopam +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: THIS IS HAPPENING WITH YOUR PERMISSION
by John Koliopanos 22 Mar '99

22 Mar '99

I just wanted to quote this bit from the Shinkansen newsletter. For no particular reason actually, I just thought it might be basis for creative debate. Or frenzy. I love both . . . John x THIS IS HAPPENING WITH YOUR PERMISSION I just wanted to quote this bit from the Jeepster newsletter: ... Weathershow will be released as an extremely limited 2000 copies only 7"... our mail-order shop will be taking advance orders, but to make it fair it will be on a first-come-first-served basis, and for this reason we're only taking credit-card orders and will not be guaranteeing that anyone will get a copy. UK price (including VAT and postage), £2.75 plus postage plus VAT = £4.41... If only all labels treated their fans so well. Oh, I know this is nothing to do with me, it just... ANNOYS me, because I suspect loads of you will be queueing up at Rough Trade on Monday morning to get one of their limited allocation, when what you should be doing is writing to Jeepster to ask why exactly a record for which there is obviously a huge demand is being limited to so few copies, or writing to the band to ask them WHY THEY ALLOW IT. Basically, at the risk of sounding like a fanzine from 10 years ago - ah yes, those rosy-tinged pre-Blair days when we actually believed politics could truly mean something, and everyone agreed that the 12" single was the wickedest embodiment of Capitalist evil ever devised - DEMAND MORE. Or at least those of you who don't have a credit-card and don't live in a town with a decent record shop could try demanding more. This is NOT, to misquote Huggy Bear, the sound of a revolution. And I want it to be. I want everything to be. This isn't a dig at B&S especially... I'm just using them because it's such a blatant example of bands/labels abusing their fanbase in order to further careers, and because I know that lots of people reading this will also be logging into the B&S/Jeepster websites. Obviously labels have been hyping bands by using limited-editions to contrive a buzz and engineer myth and mystique for ages - yes, even before Steve Lamacq put out the first Elastica single on Deceptive as a 1000 pressing and then played it to death on his show (whoops, there goes our Radio 1 airplay...) - I've just always lived in this weird dreamland where decent bands who believe in Art and Politics rather than Fame and Fortune wouldn't actually ALLOW it. The inflated price and credit-card stuff is just the icing on the cake, and made me smile. (And - before I get accused of hypocrisy - records being allowed to sell-out once the initial demand has faded, or once they're incredibly old, is obviously completely different from new records being deleted while demand is still high - effectively even before release.) That said... I do sometimes find myself questioning the cheery masochism of most B&S fans... I mean, obviously Sarah Records' success was achieved entirely by us targeting the weird and inadequate (no offence), and making them believe they had something to live for, even if it was only a new Boyracer badge or Field Mice poster, so I should be used to it, but B&S fans seem to take it to scary new heights... and I was musing on this the other day when it suddenly dawned on me that B&S aren't a pop-group at all, but a vast ANTHROPOLOGICAL EXPERIMENT, an investigation into human suffering. It goes something like this: Level 1: perform a concert at the Union Chapel, making your fans sit on hard wooden pews for 20 minutes between numbers while you to decide which song to play next. Rather than send you hate-mail explaining the concept of a set-list, however, they simply demand an encore, and more pain. Therefore, increase the suffering to Level 2... Level 2: come on late at the Shepherd's Bush Empire and then play so incredibly quietly that no-one can hear you. Rather than demanding their money back, however, your fans merely tell the few hecklers present to shush, because they're trying to work out whether it's Stuart or Isobel who's singing. So, ratch up the suffering another notch, to Level 3... Level 3: cancel your Washington gig at short notice due to one band member (out of, um, 37) being poorly. However; rather than being confronted by irate fans screaming But I've flown here specially all the way from Minneapolis!!!, you just get sent cakes with Get well soon Isobel written in pink icing and letters telling you how brave your decision was. So, in desperation, you push the suffering up into almost unbearable realms... Level 4... surely they have to break soon??? Level 4: tell all your fans to assemble on the dullest, most desolate stretch of beach Britain has to offer on a cold weekend in April, with only the strange distant glow of Dungeness nuclear power-station to warm them... Suddenly... it all falls into place, doesn't it??? Even now, Stuart Murdoch is dusting off his clipboard and readying himself to take up position behind a tree - sorry, the tree - to note down how many will comply before he reports back to the Jeepster labs... Camber's a weird and scary place, you know, even without Sleater-Kinney wailing at you. If I were you, I'd sneak off and spend the afternoon in Rye, which has some nice little tea-shops, or walk along the coast to Dungeness to have a look at the power-station and Derek Jarman's cottage and garden (as in the film). Actually, the Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch railway should be running by then, too, I think, after its winter break, so you can go on that. It's got to be better than watching Mercury Rev do a 20 minute prog-rock version of the theme to Hi-de-hi, surely??? Ah, I feel better now. And not a word about The Brits! (But, please, no more nonsense about not having anything to do with the music-industry and songs about not having dinner with Seymour Stein, and getting loads of press & publicity on the back of refusing to do loads of press & publicity, and not wanting your photos taken unless it's Isobel). And please please please note that none of the above has anything to do with the music. Just because the first two Orchids albums are ten times better than bloody Tigermilk doesn't mean we should forever be harking back to a past that nobody remembers anyway. (Actually, that said, we've recently started getting lots of people asking about The Orchids, wanting to know what they're up to these days... to which I can only snort and say, in the words of Joni Mitchell, oh don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got till it's gone... they pave paradise and put up a parking-lot. Sigh. Oh, the answer is "not much", by the way... two of them got married... not to each other... and the rest... don't know... I heard a rumour that Chris and James had concreted over a small area just off Sauchiehall Street and were now running it as an NCP franchise, but that could just be bar talk.) Leave me alone, I've got a cold. Ken Livingstone for mayor. Of everywhere. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: the heavenly limbs
by Genevieve Wesley 21 Mar '99

21 Mar '99

belle and sebastian were all over this months select...they seem to put them in EVERY month,anyways, it was a little irriating,some of the girly girls they interview outside the brit awards,it always Aimee and Cindie and Kimmie and Stacie think the awards belong to the teenagers,so it should be you know,those other bands and not belle and sebastian, oh god,that`s not excuse,most teenage girls just don`t have good taste,i never went through that new kids thing...i jsut pretended (to fit in) i`m not trying to be snobby or anything like that..but grrr,why can`t the newspapers or magazines ever interview me? i would say some intelligent comments. ...So Stuart has a brother?there`s a Ronnie David! how cute! is he widdle? i saw the Looper album..but 35 dollars! That would be Karn on the cover?..she`s very pretty. Why is stuart david wearing tuques now..thats a rapper style or quebec cow farmer look (depending on the region) bye bye tag, sniff,i will miss your jokes,i seriously will. i bought the hefner album in montreal,just on a chance,the only thing i`d heard about them t hat really stuck in my head was peter miller saying the lead singer looked like austin powers..and wow i love it! that eloping song gives me shivers. it`s been so long i`ve bought an album someone recommended that i really liked thoroughly.I love that Darren, he`s choir-boy yet saucy.I must know more.Is Hefner scottish? is everything else good by them? a strange nut,for sure,who is this Captain Hornblower. bye, genevieve Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Re: sinister: Plummeting into the canyon of age
by Jygsaw18＠aol.com 21 Mar '99

21 Mar '99

well. I've been most unnerved by my upcoming 20th birthday (since we are discussing the age topic) I've been trying to rationalize all the time spent being unproductive and bored for the past... nine years. I mean, really, I wouldn't mind so much if i'd done nothing of note but been entertained and filled the lives of others with happiness. Rather than improve the world I've just sort of puttered around and not really made a big impression on anyone other than my parents. and the impression I made on my parents has been "I never knew kids were this much trouble" Regardless, I don't plan to Make Dramatic Changes. that would require effort. Instead I take my inspiration for the next few months from Belle and Sebastian. I'm going to sleep the clock around, for I haven't a job to spend time working on. Instead I'll make music, write and draw and do all the nice things that I would like to have done earlier but was too busy doing nothing to do. I plan to read lots of classic books. I'm going to spend my summer (and spring) wasting. The time will pass so pleasantly.... ooh, i hope this little ramble hasn't made you all too irate. It's just that it's a rainy lazy sunday afternoon, and I thought I'd empty the contents of my feeble brain into a letter for my fellow sinisterines. affection dave* +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
