Sinister: The Official Melbourne Sinister Picnic
by Chris Tunnock 11 May '99

11 May '99

G'day enlightened ones, Honey has officially endorsed the Melbourne Sinister Picnic! So with that, your hosts Craig-Lee and yours truly would like to cordially invite (again) all those in reach of the Nightcat this Saturday the 15th... Though unable to access badges, you will recognise us on the table with our memorial B&S coasters, unless Jeepster veteos this copyright infringement! We hope to reserve the "cool" table by the window at 9pm... After much frivolity and conversation, and maybe a dance or two, we will head to Supermarket where Steve Wide better play "Me and the Major" or else I will hang him! The esteemed Miss Erin Nicole Lewis, the catalyst for the picnic, will be our photographer for the night, so wear something nice and be on your best behaviour... because if you are lucky Honey may just put your face on the website. We expect to see the entire Melbourne extended Sinister family!

Sinister: AHHHHHHSHHHAAKKEEDDOOWWNAAAHHHH!!!!

Well, I hope you're all pleased with yourselves. Poor little Blake, coming all the way over from America, and not one of you can be arsed to meet him for a pint. Bastards! (obviously I'm not targeting those of you fortunate enough to live outside the fetid heart of our cadaverous british empire.) C'mooon! Lets extend the hand of sinister friendship to our distant brother! Or are you all too happy to wallow in your usual smelly schmindie cliques? Honestly. Pah. I'm all grumpy now. <thinks about breasts and buses and feels bit better> Yay! I was on a photo shoot (in Harringey!) for a TV License campaign yesterday, and not only did I get to wear a Stow T shirt, but the photographer played Twattybreast while we worked! The photo looks really good, like a B&S sleeve, with me peering through curtains, looking small and frightened. I love it; the only slight drawback is that it's on the front of a leaflet saying "give us all your money or we'll sue your arse off" :-) Urm. Great p!o!p! things! Yes! I don't know if it's availiable over the internet, but if you possibly can, get hold of a copy of Papercuts. There are too many great things about it too mention, but Peter Miller's Cuban story alone justifies the cover price. [Except I stole it. Sorry Trousers, I'll give you the money next time I see you :-)] Millah, is it supposed to stop so suddenly though? Or has there been a fuck up? Does Pedro Juan go to the mountains? Does his girlfriend come back from New York? We want to know! More please. What about a Monday Cuban short story Parrot? Go on, I dare you. P!O!P! thing no.2 is the Marshall Suite, the first Fall album I've heard all the way through. Wow! How good is Shake-off? If anyone would like to recommend some equally great Fall LPs that don't make you want to end it all with a kitchen knife, please mail me privately :-) I really can't manage this e mail thing today. Forgive me this, and I'll try again when I feel better.... seb +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: you're a superstar, that is what you are
by Christa Chaffinch 11 May '99

11 May '99

Hello all. Linda thought she would have the last Bowlie reference on the list, but I haven't thrown in my two cents yet! Ummm, it was fun. I didn't seem to have the days and endless nights of drunken debauchery that a lot of other people did, but I did have a fantastic time. I spent a great deal of time standing, it seems. (in lines, watching bands, on the beach) Did anyone else get to see the "dramatic sound and light show" at the town model in Rye? You would have learned all manner of sordid details about the underbelly of historic Rye. Murder!! Sex with monks!! Lovers being buried alive!! All very sinister indeed... Well, here is where i turn exclusionist: if you live in Washington DC, or will be visiting in the month of June, please read on... we are planning our very own sinister picnic. Right now the date is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, June 11. And Sam has so thoughtfully mentioned Rock Creek Park for the setting. We were also thinking about other places- a bar/restaurant (in case of rain), the zoo...who knows. Any ideas are welcome! Oh, and this doesn't have to be just for DC people, if you are in a situation to travel however far and would like to attend, please feel free!! I know there are a lot of you in the area, so this could end up being quite nice. Please email me if you are interested (*privately* of course). Phew. That exhausted me. Better go get some juice. i wanna rock with you, christa +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: I don't like summer. Like a gay bee, I come out in hives...
by Rob Butler 11 May '99

11 May '99

hello you There's nothing wrong with Pirouette Park!! Okay, so maybe it's not *hard*, but then again, it is the only area with an explicit Belle and Sebastian reference in its name! Plus, all the best people were there, of course. and it had a pink ostrich as its logo. Admittedly we missed out on the remote wanking device, but we did hear someone playing 'Away in a manger' on a kazoo through the wall. Horrible decor though, our chalet. The light-shade scared me. Highlights of Bowlie: Well, you've heard them all before, i guess. But the impromptu gig in the car park was just great; from then on i knew we were in for a superb weekend. Cornelius was fantastic - i only wish i'd seen the whole show. Jon Spencer rocked and rolled, as ever. And those Glaswegians, well they just ruled! I must say, Winter Woofter is much better than Paper Boat, not nearly as, ummm, catchy? (irritating!) More Flares and NHS specs than you can shake a stick at. And, I bought Tigermilk in one of the shops in Cambersands. Only £4.50. Made in Macedonia. Lowlights of Bowlie: Missing the football, the picnic(s), and the beach party. Mercury Rev - I saw them a few months ago and they were incandescent; but at Bowlie, after being on tour for months and months, they seemed tired, on heroin, and.. well,... their songs had gone a bit Aerosmith, if you know what i mean. And, of course, the Pontin's camera-kill squad. I was right next to a girl who had the film ripped from her camera during B&S, and it was so unnecessary and just a bit cruel, I thought. frankko/jarkko wrote: > Well I'm listening to dEus quite often.

Perfect while sitting at > home while its raining and the thunder is roaring outside. Very relaxing the > old stuff. New stuff is so claustrophobic it's almost scary. stina's great - the first two albums are gorgeous, sweet and strange, quite minimalist. the third album grew on me, but it took a while. she's done a covers album, but that one's just scary! i say 'covers', but she only seems to have used their words, and made up her own weird tunes - very dark and, ummm, well i don't really like it. I know Honey is a huuge fan, so I shall probably be expelled from the list for blasphemy, but it isn't exactly easy listening. Speaking of which, i just bought a Free Design album (Kites are Fun), and it's rather nice. Could anyone in the know please recommend me with another of their albums, as there are quite a few and i can't afford them all! The new Luna album's quite nice - there's a rather good cover of 'Sweet child o'mine' on it! Much better than their last album, at least that's my (humble) opinion. Ah well, I've gone on far too much already, so I shall stop here. byebye Rob P.S. whoever recommended going to see Prolapse, you've made my mind up - i shall go tomorrow. But if they're pish, i shall be forced to kill you. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: you cheap sleazy ho!
by Fluffy Sarah 11 May '99

11 May '99

Hey you Sinister Kru of cheap sleazy ho's! You can't keep yo' man at home! You need to get wit da program! I've been watching Jerry Springer. It was brilliant. There were no fights but the CHEAP SLEAZY HO man was fantastic. You just a cheap sleazy ho! I just took yo' ass! You sleazy cheap ho! You get my drift? dree-yee-ft? I've written a book, does anyone want to buy it? Apparently its very intense and clever and difficult, and its called No Faith in the System by Sarah Clarke well, according to amazon.com anyhoo. If you want to buy it it is: Our Price: $18.95 (a snip!) marvellous eh? Almost as good as Ho's R Us magazine! I still feel ill. Will anyone send me a get well soon card? Didn't Stina Noredmemsndgshgtstan cover some really cheesey song by some hoary old soft-rocker? That I've forgotten about but I vaguely remember being a bit unnverved by? Whilst listening to Lamaq live last night I heard the trailer of "THE UKS BEST ALTERNATIVE AND INDEPENDENT MUSIC!" which was immediately followed by the NEW and CUTTING EDGE You and Me song by the Wannadies. Irony? Satire? Its almost like Jane Austen... ie, shit. I just got a demo of tomb raider on the pooter, and I can't follow it at all. I think I'll stick to Micro Machines and Donkey Kong. With the little hammer that goes wupwupwupwupwupwup when you get it....hehe! I'm ill ok....sod off. buh-BYE!

Sinister: Quick one
by Linda Kerr 11 May '99

11 May '99

Hi chaps Just a quick note (the last mention of Bowlie??) to see how much I enjoyed it, and how great it was to be in the third most fashionable address in Tree Tops. And good to meet so many nice people, most of whom I didn't talk to. Someone mentioned Stina Nordenstein...Honey always has a hankering to set up a Stina list - but only feared that it was somewhat of a minority interest. And she's a bit depressing at times. What was that weird song she covered recently? Faith, or something? Nickie D said: >Look, I'm not sure I like this Sinister slut label anymore. I am now intrigued why ND may or may not be a slut. I had supposed that the insult was the result of idle jealousy on the part of those less asthetically favoured, but now..all answers will be treated in confidence. Finally, welcome to all the new people, you all get released at once, don't you? Linda PS Thanks to Brian for the photo taken in Rye, even if it was taken by accident..

Sinister: This has nothing whatsoever to do with B&S
by Jeanette 11 May '99

11 May '99

Since many of us grew up quoting Shel Silverstein's rhymes, thought I'd share a sweet little verse by the author/poet/songwriter, who died yesterday at the age of 66: I'd rather play at hug o'war, Where everyone hugs Instead of tugs, Where everyone giggles And rolls on the rug, Where everyone kisses, And everyone grins, And everyone cuddles, And everyone wins... j. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Re: Stephen Dalton, You're Just Being Silly
by Essexdog5＠aol.com 10 May '99

10 May '99

Hello all, I've been lurking since this list was but wee, and my attempts at (drunken) posts have been disastrous. So I thought I'd try again. After getting back from the pub.... hey-ho. Ahem. Anyway, to the point, Rob wrote: "Stephen Eastwood (B&S type at C4's Planet Sound) dismissed the set as 'slo-mo metal guff'" Guity as charged. Sort of. I can't quite recall what went up on air after the copy was savagely (as opposed to mimsily, or even daintily) butchered, but here's what I originally scrawled: "On Saturday, the second stage hosted an act billed as "mystery guests" - and it was Mogwai, surely the worst-kept secret since "Mercury Rev are a large heap of festering Procul Harum B-sides in concert". The Gwai's slo-mo metal avant-garde emo-rock guff drew a huge crowd, mostly comprising shouty Scots blokes. We don't like people in bad tracksuits and cowboy hats, so we went to see Jon Spencer instead. Naturally, he rocked". (going to see JSBX was a lie, by the by). Oddly enough, myself and FunkySeb (who did an ad campaign today wearing my Stow tee-shirt for pamphlets which shall be distributed to every student campus in the land - yay!) have had huge arguments vis-a-viz Mogwai being any cop or not, most of which seem to end with me saying: "Aaaaah, but I remember Slowdive / My Bloody Valentine / Spacemen 3 / (insert name of suitably minimalist/brutalist composer here)!", to wit he replies: "Aaaa, but you're just OLD!!". Gah. I'd have got away with it too, if it weren't for you pesky kids. Stephen. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Melbourne B&S picnic...
by Craig-Lee Thompson 10 May '99

10 May '99

As is known, the picnic is on and here are the remaining details... Chris and I shall arrive at approx 9.00pm in order to secure a table by the front windows of the wonderful establishment that is the Nighcat. We are still working on exactly how we shall be recognised, however rest assured, there shall be some form of signification. Upon passing by the Nightcat last saturday, there was around a 10min wait to enter, so do not be alarmed if this is the case. If the band is playing a set when you arrive I may well be on the dance floor, but what the hey, all will work out i'm sure... Any more enq. just e-mail and if not I'll catch you there... Craig.T. P.s: still going to Supermarket, just not sure what time, guess it will depend on the Nighcat, it does shut at 1.00am so we wont be that late to Supermarket... ______________________________________________________ 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".
