Sinister: i don't want no scrub
by Sarah Drayton 27 Apr '99

27 Apr '99

Hello I enjoyed reading everyone's Bowlie posts though I have to admit that I am just a tad jealous.(being from Sydney etc) I was wondering if there are any other Sydney-siders/Australians on the list? I'm feeling a bit shy and awkward now so I'll run away.

Sinister: A matter of some considerable concern
by Tim Hopkins 27 Apr '99

27 Apr '99

Dear Sirs, It has been brought to my attention that some fat shambling drunk was at the Bowlie festival passing himself off as me. Let me assure you all that I stayed in London this weekend, sipping lapsang souching and working on my thesis, which concerns Pop, Aesthetics, the Class system, early Primal Scream and the Stone Roses. Apparently this imposter bears some physical resemblance to me, but is an embarrassing and foul-mouthed soak. May I take this opportunity to apologise to anyone at Bowlie or elsewhere who has been taken in by this charlatan. I assure you that I could never countenance behaving in his boorish manner. I should also make it clear that any further association of me with this ludicrous buffoon, on this list or elsewhere, will be met with swift and decisive action, courtesy of my lawyers. Regards, T. Hopkins ______________________________________________________ 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: 33 hours later....
by Jordi Trenzano i Vilar 27 Apr '99

27 Apr '99

I donŽt know how to begin. I arrived home yesterday night, as tired as you can imagine, but checking my wallet every 5 minutes. It was the place where I kept my most appreciated treasure. We had the return train tickets to Rye, so we decided not to go to Hasting with Bus. And when we arrived at the station....... I GOT STUARTŽS AUTOGRAPH !!!! The whole band was there, waiting for the train, so I decided to ask him some words for my zine readers. He drawed something like people having fun inside their chalets, along with these words: "Dear Jordi: hope you had a nice time at Camber Sands. Love, Stuart Murdoch, B&S". Then they left , with Stuart wearing a cool black hat. Along with this, my personal highlights were: - Isobel dancing to "sugar sugar honey honey" in the same bl ack dress as the Black Sessions (well,I think it is) - Jarvis dancing friday night at the Stage 2 - Me trying to get a chat with Mercury RevŽs Grasshopper. "I want an egg from B&S, so I might be a better person". - Camera Obscura. Great gig. - The free poster that I got last night from the merchandise site. - B&S, even though they were only playing for 45 minutes... If I forgot anything, IŽll post it later. My best wishes for everyone I met there, even though I hardly understood you.

Sinister: The Dogs Bowlies
by David Moore 26 Apr '99

26 Apr '99

Hi All, Sorry to keep going on, but who else do I talk to about this? Other Bowlie bits that might have been missed by other Sinistereens too busy getting rat-arsed in the genuine East End glamour of the Queen Vic: Sodastream who were excellent, especially when joined by Mick on trumpet for Boss & another number I don't know the name of. Boss has a tune pretty enough to make you fill up, especially when combined with Karl's voice. Pete humps a mean bass too, & I'm not referring to carrying it on stage :) Apparently they're playing again at Rough Trade on Friday evening. V Twin (I have to agree with Mr Leonard about the excellence of their singer) contained Mick & Sarah & were also joined for a couple of numbers by Stevie on harmonica and Stuart M for a 40 second trumpet break on one song also. Mogwai who combined sartorial elegance with a massive set on Saturday night. I'd never been able to get into them before but they were brilliant live. My son James has now bequeathed all his 5 Mogwai tapes to me. Non Bowlie content: Short Looper article here (sheds some light on the Karla Valderama story): http://www.topmag.co.uk/inter2.htm PS: its been drawn to my attention that some of my posts are, in contrast to most sex-crazed Sinistereens, impenetrable, so for those of you for whom English is not the mother tongue, The Dogs Bollocks is a widely used English term of approbation: hence the subject. If your understanding of bollocks is limited: search the archives!

Sinister: standing tonguetied in the corner
by jessica 26 Apr '99

hi sinistereeeees, welcome back from bowlie, those of you who were compelled to brave the scary prospect of social interaction and reach out and touch someone in a non-virtual way. did any list snogs become real-life snogs? come along, dish the gossip. i, of course, was not there, choosing instead to, er, stay home. i wanted to go, i reallyreally did, but it was not to be. i assumed my karmic reason would take months or even years to reveal itself, but no...even my nurses uniform couldn't frighten away the dreadful kissing disease. so really, it's for the best that i wasn't there to singlehandedly pass around mono and put a chunk of the sinister list out of commission. i don't understand it, though, i haven't been kissing anybody, no elbows and no reflections. could i have been corrupted by salacious stuart murdoch thoughts? discuss. "i'm a drama queen if that's your thing, baby" i want jell-o. now. much love but no kisses (for purely hygenic reasons, you understand), jessicaxo * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * someone had spied on us, i suppose, as we sat beside the canal and ate the sandwiches, drinking not even orangeade or coca-cola but hot milk out of a thermos. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * t i n y s t a r @ w o r l d y . c o m (it's lovely being a girl) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Bowlie live pics
by Victoria.Rees＠ft.com 26 Apr '99

26 Apr '99

Just thought you all might be interested that the NME website (www.nme.com) has a very nice live pic of Stuart from last night. It seems that the photographer managed to escape the evil security men. There's also one of him grinning like a mad fool, taken somewhere on site. It might be a small compensation for anyone who had the film ripped from their camera.... What a fantastic weekend it was, if only we didn't have to come home and back to work. I failed to meet any other sinister sorts since I didn't become aquainted with the notice board until it was too late, but it was all very lovely anyway....the highlights for me were: The fantastic Lazy Line Painter Jane..... Mogwai Eating angel delight while watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory...

Sinister: how high's the water mama?
by Emanuel Brown 26 Apr '99

26 Apr '99

just sitting here awaiting the flood of blurry memories from the luckier among us. so far it hasn't even gotten up past the sidewalk... so the rent became whisky & my life became risky: had to console my non-bowlie-goin'-self with mountains of new records, 24-hour plays, afternoon cocktails and springtime women. spent sunday speeding through manhattan on the back of a motorcycle (highly recommended). none of this compares to the lubricated exploits of our far-flung foreign correspondents, but hey, you do what you can... *oh!* i did happen to find a nice bootleg of b&s @ the supper club last november in nyc (sorry - i know that bootlegs are the spawn of satan to bands & labels alike, but i couldn't resist after not being able to go to the shows). a double-disc set of both nights, the sound is pretty damn good considering it probably didn't come off the board (crowd shufflings and the like). comments? questions? private emails please, you know the drill... i'm gonna shine out in the wild silence: saw a great band two weeks ago that demands your attention. Macha is from athens, ga. and they managed to enchant my friends and i with trance-inducing visions of indonesia. their self-titled record on jetset records (nyc) is truly unbelievable. also on the short list: tom waits / mule variations silver jews / american water lambchop / what another man spills mogwai / come on die young neutral milk hotel / on avery island okay that's enough of that. i can see the flood is nearing the front steps, so i need to make a hasty retreat back to shadowland. be well... emanuelx Free, fast e-mail accessible anytime, anywhere http://www.imaginemail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Camberwanking just for practice
by headrush city 26 Apr '99

26 Apr '99

Welcome back all you luckylucky girls and boys who got to go to Bowlie. It was nice, if a bit provocative to the little green-eyed monster, to receive the letter home from the front letting us know you managed to preserve honour in the ranks by successfully fulfilling gangwanking expectations. List mummy really does love all his progeny :) Now all of us poor wretches left behind crying into our spunk-topped Frosties (I think the reading on the smut-o-meter just went astral) expect everyone who was there to split duties, delegate tasks and get your "Stu M breathed in my direction" selves organised into reporting: offical timetable activities (gig reviews); extra-curricular shenanigans (between-music carryings-on aimed in the general direction of fun); regulation-defying commotions (anything sticking a cheeky tongue out at the rules - gin in Evian bottles, anyone?). Honeyboy, have you considered a special Bowlie warpzone on the site? " What's he saying? I'm just a pig and it flies?" My 12-year-old sister's take on Up A Tree track 3.

Sinister: dreamer
by mkl206＠is8.nyu.edu 26 Apr '99

hi everyone i had a busy weekend, i worked on a film set the whole time. in fact, i really did forget about bowlie for all of friday, and saturday. it was a shock to me to remember this morning, and then i ended up forgetting about it. i won't bore you with the details, if you know me, i will tell you anyway. i'm sure i'll be told how wonderful it was a dozen times by friends intent on torturing me (and you know who you are). but this weekend, i remembered what it means to fall in love with a song. i don't know what state of mind you have to be in to fall in love this way, to feel like you're flying when all you're doing is listening to a shitty bootleg over a computer. aptly enough, it was a magnetic fields song, "moviestar". and after months of confusion, i remembered what makes all this worthwhile. it isn't about having eighty cds or going to see any number of concerts, it's not quantity. it's for that one moment when you hear the perfect sound, and it's just exquisite. and you become part of something much greater than yourself. and you realize that beauty exists, and all you want to do is create it, or perhaps find it and hone it, as it may be to much suggesting that one person can create beauty. i'd best stop now before everyone starts making fun of me. but that's my weekend, boiled down to one moment. xox megan mkl206(a)is8.nyu.edu who are magnetic fields? http://www.dissemination.com/megan/magneticfields/ updated 4/3/99 mkl206(a)is8.nyu.edu who are magnetic fields? http://www.dissemination.com/megan/magneticfields/ updated 4/3/99 +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Well don't get saucy...
by Blake E. Hamilton 26 Apr '99

26 Apr '99

O Mass of Sass, I'd just like to wish happy wishes to everyone who is now blurry eyed and attempting to read the fuzzy screen, but if the grain alcohol and rain water just makes things too jumpy and pixelated, I'll still be happy if you save this email, go get some rest, and read it upon second morning wink. If anyone does care, my weekend was very nonchalant and uneventful. It got a little chilly over here in North Carolina. But alas, the windows stayed open and damn it, I enjoyed it. Gen Wesley had the most adorable post yesterday so I actually had the cahoonas to tell her! Good Lord what is happening to me? Maybe it's a social revelation, or maybe it's the Dr. Pepper in my tummy. My real point for writing the 1000 and somethin group is let all you London folk know that I am going to be in your neighborhood starting May 11th. I will be arriving and staying London (don't know exactly, probably significantly downtown-ish if I can even call it that) on the 11th and 12th, then after staying in Paris for two nights, I will be back for the 15th and 16th. So if anyone 1) wants to meet me, which if you do, ah crumbs! or 2) wants to tell me what little indie shops to visit, pubs to go to, et al, I would uphold my online policy of giving anyone helpful copious amounts of crumpets and such. I'm thinking picnic in my honor (don't laugh), or maybe if we can't do that, you can all throw sandwiches and carafes of brandy at the screen simultaneously, making me feel a wee bit better. AND--on top of that, if anyone (i know I'm one of the many) wants to graciously do a Bowlie B&S tape for me, that'd be just grand! I'm not sure if everyone knows, but da Who are my favorite-est group on the globe, and when I heard they did a version of The Kids are Alright, my heart exploded. So I'm asking for a lot of generosity, and like a good cake, I hope there's enough to go around. Love, Blake p.s. I didn't know Jarvis was Bowlie bound too! Boy O boy do I live on the wrong side of the pond....cheers! ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ "I am not Jesus, though I have the same initials." - Jarvis Cocker +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
