Hello! Let's see.... As Mr. Kitchen said, the Amphetameanies are very good indeed, and well worth going to see on Friday if you live in the greater Glasgow area. The skanking new single "Last night" is out soonish or now, and it is just great! We went to see them at the Battle of the Bands in the QM on Saturday night, they didn't win they came second which amused me no end as they're not strictly a student band now, are they? If you come on Friday you can expect a lot of skinheads with green bomber jackets and 64 hole doc marten boots. Och, they're harmless, just boys having a bit of fun. I heard three songs of THE GENITAL WARTS album in John Smiths. It sounded just like I thought it would. At first I thought the Looper album was juts a load of sentimental tosh Then something came upon me and I got a lump in my throat. My favourite bits are the spacey noise in Dave the Moon Man and the start of burning flies when it goes <croaks> "burning fli i i i i e e s". In that he says something about a beach on Balmaha, which is by Loch Lomond. One of the pictures of Isobel on the GENETIC WANKS website looks an awful lot like a beach on Balmaha, which is by Loch Lomond. Coincidence? I don't think so. It's funny how Stuart David comes across all shy and sweet on the album whereas in real life he's from Balloch in the Vale of Leven, which means he's autohard as nails. As we all know he's got a terrible temper (demonstrated in the pish/leaving incident). I think the next looper album will be more along the lines of the Prodigy, with song titles like "The Seven Year Bitch" and "Fuck off to the Moon, Spaceman". Mwah ha ha ha (really evil). fond regards, Chris =================================== Visit the Sleeka Sounds Corporation http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~calnd/sleeka/ 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: Looper Interview
by Steve Genge 15 Mar '99

15 Mar '99

Although we completely forgot to ask Stuart David that probing question "Why do you smell of wee?" (copyright Fluffy Sarah) we did manage, post their wonderful Borders show in Brighton, to sit them down in the noisy coffee shop & probe them deeply (ooh err missus) The results of which can be found by simply clicking on: http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Cabaret/9043 thank you and goodnight steve x "Pain and beauty, our constant bedfellows."

Sinister: too much of anything is too much for me
by Blake E. Hamilton 15 Mar '99

15 Mar '99

Dearest everyone-- Today, as spring is beginning to fall over North Carolina, I got some stuff in the mail--my Stow shirt being one of these glorious items. What a beautiful sky blue. I will wear it and flutter my eyelids. I played all the EPs for my mum, and here were some choice quotes straight from her mouth: before we started--"I really like that fox in the snow, how delightful" "what a nice song"--Beautiful "oh how nicely this song moves, love that banjo!"--The Gate "wow this one is long"--TIJAMRS "what are those instruments playing?"--B&S "wait i thought this song was done"--Put the Book "is this a james bond theme?"--String Bean Jean needless to say, she loves B&S. another convert, indeed. And Moon Patroller Carrie, I have more Who stuff to tell you, so what is your email address again? I switched computers now that I'm back at school, so I lost yours... that's it for now kiddies, ta ta blake ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ "Sometimes I feel I gotta get away. Bells chime, I know I gotta get away. And I know if I don't I'll go out of my mind. Better leave her behind, where the kids are alright." +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: let's the sunshine in
by Arantxa Sanz 15 Mar '99

15 Mar '99

WOW! Springstime is here.And I have no stitch to wear...and my supervisor has told me I had better fastened my work rythm, like if writing Fortran codes was adjusting screws in a Rover factory.But any work becomes a more pleasant labour with sunlight across your window. But no better ocasion to remark how a spring (I was going to write 'springy' but in a lucid moment I have checked my dictionary and figured out how far it's this term from what I meant)music is Belle and Seb one. Tunes to be whistled while walking on lawn , taking off cardies for first time in a year and enjoying some Lilt really-really-really chilled can. There are really obvious examples ('Mayfly', 'Ease your feet in the sea'...) but what is your choice as this spring Sinister soundtrack? I cannot pick just one, after finding miraculously a tenner in some pocket when I thought I would have to survive on 1.5 pounds until next Monday, I want to whistle all at once!

Re: Sinister: Countdown to Cuteness!!
by Graham MacArthur 15 Mar '99

Like lesie jo, I thought about and actually *made* a crush tape...full of wonderful "I love you" music, even with little film quotes in-between, this was at a time I was obbsessed with Nina Simone before i decided she sounded too manly (not that it's a bad thing...I just can't stand Tracey Chapman after a nasty experience linked with the sound of her voice) ......but the tape never got given to my then, object of affection. So if anyone would like to feel loved, i'll send you a copy and you'll feel like a million dollars! maybe i shouldn't offer such a thing, but it's wasting away without a home, after all, i don't want it - it would be like loving myself! Good Luck Lesie, and why not use a Huggy Bear sticker on the tape, rather than a care bear one...they're so wussy. and sleater kinney are ACE ACE ACE. three times. I must say, I was filled with Glee at the thought of Duran Duran being the number one in the new romantic programme. How can your heart *not* skip a beat at View to a Kill? and Simon Le Bon, for someone who basically looks like a chubby schoolkid, (ideally complete with public school silly cap thing), has done pretty well for himself: "We had competions to see who could get the best girls......of course, I always won." go bonny! but i'm leaving my "I haven't posted in a while, remember me" bit to the end of my post, in the hope that you havent clicked the dreaded del (boy?) as I so easily do.. so, I havent posted in a while, not since LAST YEAR! but i have to pop my head round the door and mumble for a while, to feel involved! oh, and poo to all the listees who get to go bowlie. i want to say a big "NER" from everyone who doesn't get to go. No fair! love, Erica x (Scarlet kisses) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: a girl could lose herself in london! LOSE HERSELF!
by jennifer phillips-bacher 15 Mar '99

15 Mar '99

Hello superstars. Golly, I'm tired. I'm still recovering from the week that I spent in merry London towne, as well as reestablishing my personal space that was continually invaded during my British Airways flight 299 by a strange smelling man with legs and arms the length of the mighty Sequoia. For all listees who have not yet experienced the world of the London Sinisterian, let me tell ya, it's absolute bonkers!!! They're a brilliant lot, accomodating to the extreme, and (now don't tell anyone....) they drink gallons of beer! I was appalled, yet vaguely aroused. Stevie Trousers took me to see Looper, but all I really saw was an itsy-bitsy corner of a television. Therefore, I missed Stuart David's Solid Gold dance routine. I heard he was wearing gold lame. Pam and SteadyMike are morsels of delightfulness. I think I'll move in with them and be a personal servant. I was also thrilled to finally meet Tim H!O!P!kins, Sarah, Kevan, Andy, Funkyseb, Mark C, and if there are any more of you that I haven't mentioned, I'm sorry. You can give me some lashings when I next come to London. We saw Sarah Cracknell one day. It was my only celebrity sighting, unfortunately. She was snorting grapefruit juice. Keep that one under your hats. Until we meet again, jennifer lynn +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: 10 Waronkington Place
by PJMiller 15 Mar '99

15 Mar '99

It's a long time since we heard from list hero Lenny Waronker, isn't it? I'd almost forgotten about his very existence until the other day, when I was quietly perusing the booklet that accompanies the excellent compact disc release, "The Mad, Mad World of Soundtracks". Track number eighteen is a pleasant ditty entitled "Malibu U", performed by Harpers Bizarre. It is produced Lenny Waronker. Yes, that's right, I said "produced".. It would seem that the song comes from a television programme hosted by Rick Nelson (phwoooarrrr!) set in a summer school, where one could enjoy "such subjects as surfing, sunbathing, girl-watching and a field trip to a bikini factory". Top one. Sounds a bit like the Bowlie Weekender. According to the Jeepster website, the Camber Sands shindig is for "the intelligentsia of the alternative scene", or something like that. I wonder if there'll be an exam on the way in, or whether everyone has to clutch their exam certificates, Linda Kerr style? Anyway, I can't go. I don't go to places that don't allow women in (apart from public lavatories), so I can't go to places where non-intelligent people are banned either. Because they won't let me in. I love the Genital Waves website! The best bit is "Things I Like", in which Isobel lists a few of her favourite things, so that we can get to know her a little bit better. These are the ones I liked best: Going to Brownies; Telling the time; Dougal and the Blue Cat; Stork SB Margarine; Tying my own shoelaces; "I'm Only a Poor Little Sparrow" and "There's No One Quite Like Grandma" by the Wilfred Bramble School Choir; Playing with my belly button. Mister Moore, I hope you and your daughter have got your jim-jams and johnnies packed. With a bit of luck, I'll get that tape off to you this week, so you'll be able to back me up in my deluded theory that Looper's "Ballad of Ray Suzuki" sounds like Denim's "The Great Grape Ape-Hangers". Speaking of which, John Johnstone, I think you should borrow a copy of the Looper album, or get someone to tape it, to see whether you like it enough to justify shelling out loads of cash for it. I think it's good, but I've only listened to it once so far. I guess that's the trouble with spoken word things, not enough to get your teeth stuck into (the exception that proves the rule is TV's Jason King, of course). Keith, what's the biggest selling spoken word album of all time? The only birthday I'm interested in is Lenny Waronker's, and possibly the Queen Mother's hundredth. By the way, was it Mister Murdoch who found those secret medical reports about the Queen's piles in a ditch in Ayr? I bet it bloody was, you know!

Re: Sinister: people mad about me posting kerouac's birthday

In a message dated 99-03-15 08:17:31 EST, you write: > ok, i'm sorry...i didn't mean to offend anyone...i was just saying it...i > don't "idolize" kerouac nor ginsberg nor hold them to be some god-like > figures.. NOTICE OF SINISTER MEET-UP There will be a HUGE book burning held on April 1, 1999. Everyone should bring books they find silly, offensive and not in accordance with their personal taste, philosophy and politics. Guest speaker will be the Reverend Jerry Falwell -- who is contributing his collection of Teletubby coloring books and all the lavender and purple crayons from his crayola boxes to start the blaze. Topic will be "Learning to Not Learn: Building a Politically Correct World My Way." Free gift certificates to WalMart's censored "idea free" music and book departments will be given to the first 100 people to contribute books to the bonfire. Don't apologize ari -- it's just the Sinister form of literary criticism. And may I add that Joe DiMaggio, noted for his mention in a Simon & Garfunkle song, died last week? Bonus points for adding baseball cards and 60's folk albums to the fire... +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: have you got any i.d. ?
by S.J.Peet 15 Mar '99

15 Mar '99

identifying ourselves as sinisterees... hmm... i'm actually with honey on this one - wearing a b&s badge upside down or similar seems much more in character with the band, list etc... ...but before i saw that i was thinking that i've got pretty good access to resources for getting t-shirts etc. made up (uni. sports teams/clubs etc.) so if there was to be a unanimous decision by the list for something of that order, and the only obstacle to it happening was someone willing and able to organise it, well i should be able to sort something out, but personally i think maybe not, unless it was very subtle ? and as for all these postings about unrequieted love (is that how you spell it ?) well, i can cetainly identify with that, but i take solice in believing that there's something magical in waiting for that next little sign, that coy smile or sideways glance, i'd never be able to burst the bubble... but it does get to you though. i just worry that maybe she could be *the one* and i might let her slip away ? anyway the sun is shining and it looks all spring like, so i'm off to sit in the park with a flask of tea and some simon armitage poems. still full of good intentions stevie p. p.s. despite being a fan from the beginning and a listee for quite a while this is my first post, so if my e-mail contains any of that annoying extra technical stuff that was complained about let me know and i'll try and get rid for next time. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
