Sinister: Strawberries, cherries and a dog on wheels
by Kevan Cooke 19 Mar '99

19 Mar '99

Hello Sinisterines Interesting theory about Dog on Wheels, obviously completely wrong though, just listen: Dog on Wheels goes: "La la la la de da de da la la la" Summer Wine goes: "La la la la de da de da la la la" Oh bugger, well the words are different anyway, one is about writing all your songs for a Dog on Wheels, and the other is about a cowboy getting drugged by Nancy Sinatra so she can steal all his stuff. Interesting chap Lee Hazelwood, best known for the songs he wrote for Nancy Sinatra (including These Boots were made for Walkin') and he is also the man who loosened Duane Eddy's guitar strings. Incidentally, I seem to remember reading somewhere that Summer Wine is Kim Gordon's favourite song. I prefer Ladybird myself.

Sinister: ah spring days....and Robbie too!
by Mew817＠aol.com 19 Mar '99

19 Mar '99

It has finally warmed up here in Atlanta and I am enjoying beautiful spring weather! On my way home from work I listened to TBWTAS in the car...windows down, sun shining, slight breeze....what a great mood that put me in! So I am wanted to add what I think of good ol' Robbie Williams. He is the best! His music may not be good, but it is amusing, and he is a great entertainer. He just makes me laugh because he has that dance where he marches and bobs his head forward and backward and looks like a chicken! -Do you know which one I'm talking about? I can actually imitate it well, too bad I won't be at the Bowlie Weekender to show you all! My American friends and I who were living in London for a bit, fell in love with Robbie while we were there! You just don't get that kind of entertainment here! Robbie is one of a kind. Oh, I just saw a tape of the Brits (Dmitry lent it to me). It was very cool to see, even though stupid ABC chopped the whole thing up and didn't show the best newcomer award. They mostly showed performances....I am going to write them and tell them how shite it was that they chopped the whole thing up. And also tell them that the former Wonderbra spokes person (I think that's what she was), Madison Michele is not the right person for the presenting job...she had no clue what she was doing! I loved Robbie's performance especially the bit where he held the mic stand in front of his crotch--now that's true Robbie style! Alright, this is long enough! Oh yeah, I've really enjoyed Mrs. Murdoch's posts, they are a highlight of the list for me. Take care mew x +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Luna
by chris 18 Mar '99

18 Mar '99

I know the subject has passed, however reading of bands that do not indulge in self promotion I thought it appropiate I offer a little word of mouth information on Luna and their latest album release... Titled "The Days Of Our Nights" it is due out on May 25, and it was originally titled "The Young And The Restless"!!! For those not familiar with their official website, courtesy of bassist Justin Harwood, it is www.fuzzywuzzy.com Can anyone explain the expression on Shaun Edin's face as he plays??? May looms as an infinitely pleasing month for cd purchases.

Sinister: Horses and Hazelwood
by Andrew Tracey 18 Mar '99

18 Mar '99

I would like to draw your attention to the result of today's Cheltenham Gold Cup 1st See More Business - 16/1 2nd Go Ballistic - 66/1 The forecast for these two together paid £659.57 for a £1 stake. Alas, I didn't back either of these. I hope someone did so the list profits in some way. In a discussion about Lee Hazelwood on another list, someone said that Dog on Wheels is just Summer Wine (a Hazelwood song) with different lyrics. Is anyone who is familiar with Lee Hazelwood's output able to cast any light on this vicious slur? bye for now andrew +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Dog on Hazlewood
by Jan Imgrund 18 Mar '99

18 Mar '99

Hi List. someone on the tindersticks list claimed that "Dog on Wheels" is the same song as "Summer Wine" by Lee Hazlewood, with different lyrics. Does anyone know if that is true? They did not give him credit, anyway. Take care.

Sinister: university challenge

unfortunately andrew i'm not allowed to answer your question about what you can be tested on for 7 days, as apparently students are boring when they talk about their work. just be grateful, mr miller, that i'm not sharing with the list what i'm inflicting on my friends - updates on how many words i've written every hour or so. serge gainsbourg has just started being all smooth and funky in my headphones, giving me strength to face the disser__ oops, nearly said the word... last night when i got home i played TBWTAS very loudly, which i've realised is really the only way to do it, especially on a sunny spring evening with the windows open. unfortunately my evening was tainted by my boyfriend phoning me in the middle of Dawson's Creek, but you can't have everything. 2600 words... luv archel ------------------------------------------------------------------- Rachel Playforth rap101(a)york.ac.uk http://members.tripod.com/~RPlayforth/welcome.htm ***** do something pretty while you can don't be afraid skating a pirouette on ice is cool - belle and sebastian -------------------------------------------------------------------- +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: the more you shake it, the more you make it
by oon 18 Mar '99

18 Mar '99

two weeks ago i have my first niece, an ugly ugly baby who i love so dearly. (she's not really ugly though, i just can't say baby is cute or something might hear and take her away) i also showed visitors around, went to see elephant show and took photo with two huge and cute tigers, me waving his tail happily. tiger is very soft. i was very impressed. if anyone of you come to my country i'll take you to have photo with them too. too bad i didn't know about it when Linda was here. Linda come back and i'll take you there! well, i was going to write and tell you what i've done busily these last few weeks. but i feel too tired just thinking about it. so i'll just say i'm not going to the camp any more. because i'm afraid the entrance exam will involve mathematics and my spiritual leader Mr.Miller not going. as well as family commitment. for the very lucky person who will be staying with the honourable Mr.David Moore and his lovely daughter, i want you to know that one of the 2 tickets was nearly mine. i hope you have extra fun. sob. the amphetameanies site is good fun. i know no ska, so i don't know what a ska band is like. but this band look stranger than normal people. even Mick is stranger than i thought. i mean look at his innocent boyscout face and who would have thought--- (from the Amphetaminies page) Mick (Flumpet) Exhibitionist Mr Cooke is no stranger to public performance, having earned a crust as a dirty-old-man strippogram in front of a 30,000 strong audience at Glasgow's George Square last Hogmanay. He has also taken part in a harrowing re-examination of modern Christmas traditions, in which he played a fir tree being pursued by a mad axeman. Hogmanay is new year celebration, yes? but why do you have stripping at new year?? must be cold. it's easy for scottish men to be exhibitionist i think. just wear your kilt and let the wind takes over. i was watching the Brit Awards, very exciting to see them on telly here. too bad everyone couldn't be up there, and Richard said so little, and Mick didn't exhibit anything. or Mr.Waterman wouldn't have been protesting against them this strongly. after Stuart D has been revealed to be autohard Balloch man, i wonder who will be the next "not what he/she seems to be". could it be Isobel? i remember she used to stay in my country for a while. afterall, Thailand is a popular destination for lovely beaches, lovely foods and sex-change operation. last sunday i saw "Forever Fever" a disco film from singapore. very lovely and funny! make me dream with disco soundtracks. sweet dreams are made of these, absolutely. as if the above is not long enough, i'm proud to present you deep thought for today. taken from an article in Bangkok Post one day, these are responses to a first grade teacher’s class quiz in which she gave the first half of well-known proverbs— Strike while the … Bug is close. Better to be safe than… Punch a 5th grader. It’s always darkest before… Daylight Savings Time. Never underestimate the power of… Termites. You can lead a horse to water but…How? Don’t bite the hand that… Looks dirty. No news is… Impossible. A miss is as good as a… Mr. You can’t teach an old dog new… Maths. If you lie down with dogs, you’ll… Stink in the morning. Love all, trust… Me. The pen is mightier than the… Pigs. An idle mind is… The best way to relax. Where’s there’s smoke, there’s… Pollution. Happy the bride who… Gets all the presents. A penny saved is… Not much. Two’s company, three’s… Musketeers. Don’t put off till tomorrow what… You put on to go to bed. Laugh and the whole world laughs with you, cry and… You have to blow your nose. Children should be seen and not… Spanked or grounded. If at first you don’t succeed… Get new batteries. You get out of something what you… See pictured on the box. When the blind lead the blind… Get out of the way. with love, oon xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Emu the Orphan

Honey said: > - The "nomail" command - > > This is useful if you're going away but don't want to resign your > membership - just send the command: > > set sinister nomail > > (or sinister-digest) to "majordomo(a)majordomo.net" and lo and behold, > everything will go quiet till you send a "set mail". By which of course Honey meant "till you send a "set sinister mail" or "set sinister-digest mail". Just to avoid a barrage of confused orphaned listees. <Warning Extreme UK Content> Talking of orphans, shed a little tear for Emu this morning. I'm not one to hark on about British-only-media things usually on this list, and let's not turn this into a massive thread but allow me to indulge myself just once, but this morning's news makes me dizzier than dizzy. Keen UK Norwich observers will remember that Alan Partridge's second series was finally agreed by the BBC when the chief commisioning editor for BBC2, Tony Hairs (sp?) fell off the roof of his house adjusting the aerial thus moving one of Alan's old mates into the chair. "How ironic that someone whose life was in broadcasting.." etc. Anyway, Rod Hull, the "veteran of british comedy" has died. He fell off the roof of his house "adjusting the aerial". http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/entertainment/newsid_298000/298801.stm My excuse for this list indiscretion: that the phrase "Rod Hull" gets 10 matches in the list archive, none of which are mine, so clearly there's an issue of public concern here. As far as I'm concerned, it's all too scary and I think I'm going back to bed. honey xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
