ah, so much for a young theological mind to absorb. jesus never did explain his parables to any one but the diciples. we got it second hand and were told to just believe in it and pay up. here is my tithe mrs murdouch.:) mathew.

Sinister: suited and booted
by Caleb Rudd 04 Mar '99

04 Mar '99

mornin' As mentioned by listees less tardy than myself, Blue Soda last Friday was on top form, with Mr. Leonard's performance being bold and heartfelt. Tim and Mike's encore nearly brought a tear to the eye as well, and not in a pain kind of way. Jeep(st)ers, Creepers - the sinister brethern are a extremely gifted lot. I interviewed Jake and Dan from My Life Story last Saturday which was good, although I had to sign an agreement that I would not publish or tell anyone anything about it until April 21st. Apparantly they're worried about the NME getting hold of news of the internet. I can see their point, but really this is My Life Story...I think they'll be lucky if the NME print anything non-derogatory about them...ever. I will say that they are signed to IT records, a lable funded by Andrew Lloyd Webber after being dropped by Paralophone whom they owed bout 500,000 pounds to, and they have changed direction a bit...(these aren't new facts, but they were clarified during the interview). At the Blue Soda a few of us had the idea for T-Shirts or badges (or whatever) for the sinister devotees going to Camber sands, as something to identify each other by, as well as a keepsake. I have no idea on how to go about doing these, and am not sure if I want to be the one doing the organising (I'm working on Papercuts#2, you realise) but how about these slogans for starters: P!O!P! Sinister Sands/Sinister at the Sands I've been to Bowlie too* Sun, Sex, Sand and Sinister Just another modern rock badge Sinister: Steps Tragedy Up yours Waterman!

Sinister: Thought you could hide from me, did ya?:)
by bkim0＠dept.english.upenn.edu 04 Mar '99

04 Mar '99

Well, I've finally found the Sinister list (page) again after a rather X-Files like disappearance without a trace from the usual phedacky site. Thanks to Honey for answering my desperate cry for help on the indiepop list. I had a nice business trip up to Boston a couple of weeks ago where I saw _Rushmore_ (totally classic, reminded me immensely of _Harold and Maude_ but not quite as sad, but still very life-affirming) and attended pretty lame "mod" night, which was actually way more Britpop. Which is fine, but durnit, if you're gonna call it a mod night play more '60s stuff Mr./Ms. DJ! Oh well, they did play the original "Tainted Love" which was great. Also whilst in Boston I bought two Felt CDs that they had at the HMV at Harvard/Brattley Square..._Forever Breathes The Lonely Word_ and _The Strange Idols Pattern/Ignite The Seven Cannons_. They are amazing. Get them, if you want some Felt. Now I just have to find _Poem of the River_... Nice to see Pam on the list again, though I wasn't on it when she was first around. Hi Pam, say hi to Powell for me! All right then. I was feeling a little out of whack for a while there, but now that I got my Sinister archives (with a lovely lavender background...I like what you've done with the place Honey!) I can go back to being really, *really* unproductive at work. Xavier -- BXK M o t h e r , M a y bkim0(a)dept.english.upenn.edu I S l e e p http://www.english.upenn.edu/~bkim0 W i t h D a n g e r ?

Sinister: Gentle Waves
by Niceaction＠aol.com 04 Mar '99

04 Mar '99

hi all. Radio 1 just played a song called Weathershow ? by the Gentle Waves, and i have to say im incredibly impressed. Think St Ettienne with funky guitar instead of so much keyboards and you have it.. its very up-beat, and sounds brilliant ! My mate reckons he had a dream about Belle & Sebastian the other night, but he doesnt like them and doesnt know what they look like.. I asked him what they were doing in the dream and he said that the 4 people in the band ??? all had normal jobs, and one was a window cleaner.. He couldnt tell me anymore though. I so hope i have a dream tonight in which Isobel is a window cleaner, and she is wearing a skirt, and im under the ladder !! Anyway.. thats enough smut.

Sinister: Good ol' Hamish
by Reid Dossinger 04 Mar '99

04 Mar '99

> is no one going to mention the incredibly moving posting of mrs murdoch?!!! > please, honey, anyone, say something! > I'll mention it. Ah, it took me back to a more carefree time, when Granny used to call us around the fire and we'd call out "Ooh! Ooh! Please tell us the story of Hamish the Frog again!" And she would, and we'd be astounded by its truth and moved by its beauty. And we'd boo all mentions of the Kingfisher ("Just like that mean ol' President Ford!" we'd say) and cheer our little hearts out for the goldfish. It was a beautiful story then, and it's a beautiful story now. No wonder Stuart's such a great songwriter, with a great story-teller Mom like that. I'm beginning to have guesses as to whose hand is up Mrs. Murdoch's dress. ~Reid +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Would you like to see some puppies?
by Anne Ward 04 Mar '99

04 Mar '99

Hello All Did anyone see Pete Waterman on the Channel 4 news last night? They got him on to talk about Dusty Springfield. He reckons she was almost as talented as Rick Astley. Mr Crystalballs said; And does anyone want to meet up in glasgow soon - possibly for the looper gig? Yes, that would be lovely. It would be very helpful if you could wear your school uniform so the other listees can recognise you. Just as well you're not a girl, or people might think you were Dizzabel. Better wear some short trousers anyway, just to make sure. I'll be one of the old women ogling at the back.

Hello. "Big Stu" Gardiner wrote: >To all the newbies out there (and everyone else for that matter), join the club, it's good to have >you along. Hooray! Because Im a newbie and an old hand and Im just writing to say hello (because that's good form I'm told) and Im back... I have grown bored of surrealist landscape gardening and eating nothing but chips and curry sauce and so Im back and sinister and I want to play. It seems to me that since I have been away a number of you have been Very Silly Billies and really someone should knock some heads together. That person probably wont be me. Let me just say this: this has been, and is, the best mailing list that I ever came across, and what happens elsewhere in the world isnt relevant. I am now fully sarfeest londoned up, gorblimey. You wouldnt recognise me now with my superfly clothes, shiny motor and cocky cockney swagger. Its so good to be back here amongst you strange and faintly diseased people.

RE: Sinister: The parable of the Hamster
by Mrs Murdoch 04 Mar '99

04 Mar '99

Hello, it's Mrs. Murdoch here Stuart's mum. One of the best things about Jesus' parables are the way they can be applied to situations in your own life. That's one of the reasons why I love Jesus more than, say, Daniel O' Donnell. Although that young man is a total ride. Chris and Mark, I'm pleased you have both applied the parable to situations around you, there's plenty more in the New Testament I'm sure you would benefit from. You can get a copy free from the Gideon people, or by simply trying you're hand at petty theft. However, the interpretations you have both come up with are quite different from mine. That's not a bad thing at all, I just thought I'd let you know. Keep trying boys and girls, Mrs. Murdoch ______________________________________________________ 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".

Re: Sinister: A lesson from the Bible
by Brennan 04 Mar '99

No, no, no. Hamish the frog is in fact an alien from outer space who came down and hypnotised us all with his magnificent jumping. The Kingfisher is one of those really gullible people who really believes they've been abducted by aliens ho now live with them and that Goldfish is simply another competitor who thought he'd build a hurdle so high that the frog would just give up and go back to his own planet to play music. But it didn't work and the goldfish gradually realised the music was better because of the list. But the Kingfisher is Pete Waterman. >From last week's Melody Maker, Bell and Sebastian got 9,300 votes and Steps got 9,000. Saying that 1000 ish came from this list it's not really that dramatic. It's also strange for all these celebrity fans to suddenly come out of the closet like Boy George and Charleen Spiteri. So will the award make the band better? I don't think so because the songs are about real life and when bands become more and more famous their life is not real any more and their songs are not so touching (now there's a point for debate) but then again, will B&S ever attain the renown they should get with people like us wanting to keep them for our own and being afraid of a new list (does the word luddite mean anything to you?) Finally who's heard/listens to Ben Harper. He's as touching as B&S and at his best as good a guitarist as I've heard.
