Sinister: Another first posting....
by verena.baur 07 Apr '99

Hello everybody, so there is another newbie posting to the list...I've been thinking about it for quite a while now, signing onto the list middle of february (so my nursery time should've ended exactly when the old sinister list gave up working - so I wsn't sure if I am allowed to post or not and waited patiently until I got the official 'yes' - But like this I defenitely I had more than 3 weeks nursery . Not that it is that important for me as I seem to be mure of a 'lurker' anyway... So whay am I posing to the list now? Well, I was just wondering if I am the only person from Germany on this list. I read about people form Canada, the UK, Australia and whatever, but I can't recall a posting by another German...Just in case there are any Germans, or even people from Hamburg, maybe we could somehoe get in contact? Because if there is one thing I am missing it is people who are into good music. I have to say I really love Belle and Sebastain (I suppose otherwise I wouldn't have subscribed tio this list...), but it's more their music I am interested in - I suppose you'd never find me drooling over one of the picture from one of the band-members. I also like heaps of other music, like Tindersticks, Arab Strap, Mercury Rev, Gomez, Rialto, P.J. Harvey, Manics, Smashing Pumpkins, Blur, Cure, dEUS, Zita Swoon, Pavement, Garbage, Elastica, Madder Rose, to name just a few. So what else...? I'm a 25 year old girl from Hamburg, at the moment I am busy enjoying the spring-weather which has taken over Haburg over the Easter-Weakend, I work for an Environmental management firm... I don't even have a spectacular story to tell how I came across B&S...SOmebody mentioned them on the Tindersticks list, I got interested, then a friend of mine bought 'TBWTAS', borrowed it to me, I liked it and bought myself the 'IYFS' - Not really fascinating is it. Thanks for listening anyway, Verena +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Re: Bus romance
by Ihamilt＠aol.com 07 Apr '99

im afraid the closest i got to bus romance was being propositioned by a mad dog drinking 14 yr old on the Saltcoats to Irvine bus a few years back. The next week i was threated with violence by a squad of 12 yr old thugs wielding ice skates because i objected to them kicking some poor buggers teeth in. Ive seldom got on one since. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Afternoon, grooveriders. Isn't it annoying when you're reading the list at work and a window pops up with something filthy and dirty in the subject line? And as for that gangwanking nonsense in the footer...well, it's impossible to explain away really. How many hipsters have found themselves in the dole queue as a result of sinister, I wonder... :-) Anyway, on to the important stuff. I own a piece of scratchy vinyl at home called "moog partytime", rammed to the run out groove with bleepy bloppy party melodies. Well, imagine a follow up disc entitled "moog oh dear my cat's just died and I keep finding myself bursting into unexplainable silent tears on public transport", and that's Broadcast's "Work and No Work LP. It's gorgeous, if rather melancholy, and I await Bowlie with bated tear ducts. Right! Attention everybody! With the lovely honey's permission (of course), I'd like to launch a new strand, "Lovely things that have happened to me on buses". I'm realy taken with the idea of writing a short film about a boy who falls in love with girls he sees on the bus, and so really, I just want to test the waters. Am I the only saddo who does this? Have any listees actually had the courage to talk to someone they've met on the bus? Or even <gasp> gone out with them? Answers on an e-mail please:-) funkyseb +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Mental Mavis
by Kevan Cooke 07 Apr '99

Hello folks Oh yes, Mental Mavis and her Gentle Wavies were mighty fine on Sunday, and punctual too. Whatever next? If Mavis had been displaying signs of nerves at Leeds she had evidently overcome them by Sunday. The record is a teeny bit disappointing in comparison - more Jonathon Cohen than Leonard Cohen :) And whilst you were searching the Guardian yesterday for that review you may have missed evidence that our legendary smut is leaking out of the confines of the list and into the big bad world outside. http://www.guardianunlimited.co.uk/Archive/Article/0,4273,3848790,00.html Kevan The Fat Slug *********************************** chickclick.com http://www.chickclick.com girl sites that don't fake it. http://www.chickmail.com sign up for your free email. *********************************** +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: gentle Waves

Hi y'all! Yeasterday i bought th gentle waves record and rushed home (as soon as I had stopped for a cup uf coffee of course) and listened to it and my first thought after hearing isobelles first whispers was "ohh my god it's Phoebe from friends" but after listening to the record a few times now I quite enjoy it. But i still think weathershow is the best song and i was hoping for more of that sort. I guess i should have bought a Stereolab record instead if thats what I wanted. /Toby +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Police: Corruption
by Nick Dastoor 07 Apr '99

>How guilty must i look? >I refused because i am working but i was secretly scared that i would >be picked out and sent to jail for a crime i dont think i committed. No no this can't happen jAmEs. The police are very fair like that. But they're not so fair on the real suspects. When I was at school they asked for BLOND volunteers for an ID parade but somehow I ended up going too. It was just as well for the path of justice, as the boy they were holding had BROWN hair too. But they didn't pick me. Or the suspect. He wore a jumper with a teddy bear motif, which I suppose put them off the scent. Nowadays he'd probably opt for a Gentle Waves badge. Perhaps the Jeepster merchandise machine might like to market themseleves more aggressively to the juvenile offenders corner of the market. David could impress them with tales of a youth misspent robbing National Express tickets and promoting Menswear.

Sinister: Let's Play Squeezy Bottles!

Can we have a Simmons Shag register like we >did with "Tigermilk"? I've never been shagged by Gene Simmons, although he did once subject me to a frighteningly thorough rimmer. It took the dog ages to lick all the face paint off my buttocks, too. I was a laughing stock. I had been wondering how the GYMSLIPPED WEEWILLIEWINKIES were going to cope with the shortness of their LP in a live environment, but I must admit that a cowbell-propelled instrumental jam session wasn't very high on my list of possibilities. Who conned Isobel into singing that dirty, dirty, dirty song "Kinky Love" then? Was it Murdoch? Actually, I'm beginning to think that Isobel's sensitive waif image is a huge pop googly, designed by EVIL JEEPSTER to sell millions of records. Like a proper fan, I've been working my way through Isobel's reading list on the GINSENG WARRIORS website. First stop: DELTA OF VENUS by Anais Nin. After a staggeringly pompous introduction, things perk up a bit: "...and for the delight of her admirers who sat around her, she was rouging her sex with her lipstick..." the story goes from strength to strength until: "he fetched a stool and placed it near the bed. He kneeled on it and he put his penis to his son's mouth. The son awakened choking and struck at him." No, it's not about Gene Simmons. I can't believe that dear sweet Isobel is encouraging her fans to read books with the word "penis" in them. "Dinkle", yes, but "penis"?! I don't know what the world is coming to. Speaking of which, thanks for that message about the Balkan conflict, it was terribly moving. Reminded me a bit of when they used "Achy Breaky Heart" to try and get the Davidians to abandon their Waco stronghold in Waco, Texas. If music be the food of love.... Yesterday I went to the pictures and it was a film and it was Shakespeare in Love and I saw Gwyneth Plantpot's nipples. First one nipple, then the other, and so on, until eventually both nipples were on screen at the same time. I don't why there was such a fuss about Judi Dench only being on screen for eight minutes, the nipples were on for even less. I thought it was a marvellously clear example of cultural fragmentation as we hurtle towards the next millennium, where breasts will be considered as individual commodities rather than traditional pears. I mean pairs. I apologise if anyone found that offensive or sexist. It's Isobel's fault for making me read that book. I thought that Select article was a load of Jeepster approved bollocks on the whole. But I enjoyed it, especially the bit about Isobel clones wearing hair slides and pinafores. I hope I make it back to Blighty before that fashion dies out. I remeber with great affection the halcyon days of Bjork clones. I also enjoyed Duke's bit as well, and I bet the schoolkids did too. Anne of Ward Gables, I'm terribly sorry, but I've lost your address. I know it's Gibson Street, because it's impossible to forget such a R!O!C!K! street, named after the famous Fender Gibson guitar. But I don't know what number. Apologies to anyone who has written to me over the past few days, I'm a bit behind schedule with my term paper and my tutor will be down on me like a ton of Simmons if I don't get revising soon for my exams, and I won't be able to fly over to the UK from JFK and check out the London club scene and some cool record stores.
