Sinister: Another new person.
by ASpawnyGit＠aol.com 28 May '99

28 May '99

Hello there. You know addressing 1000+ people about absolute nonsense is quite overwhelming. Right. My name is Brad. I am on the list. err. yeah! I can only say I wish I had been given a voice last week when I would have addressed the shy person thread with vigor. Such is life ... and I have nothing to contribute presently except for, "Hi I live in Knoxville Tennessee" and a really horrible analogy that goes..."Her eyes were like two brown circles with black dots in them." Pet names: I like to let my pets decide their own names. If that doesn't work I give them inconspicuous human names like Kevin or Scott. Thanks for letting me be here. I have definitely enjoyed myself thus far. Brad.

Sinister: B&S Rockudocujocumentary
by robhalcrow＠lineone.net 28 May '99

28 May '99

Good evening, or good day, The main point of this post is to say that providing I can set the video and make sure the Digital thing is on I'll be able to tape the B&S thang on Sunday. I'm hoping to put in an appearance at the Greenwich Park picnicnic on Sunday but it should work out. I should also be able to make copies of it for people who are interested. (Robert Foster I don't really want the use of your body for any dirty shenanigans, thanks anyway.) I would appreciate something to cover post and packing if people are interested. But no selling bootleg copies in the future. That is very very naughty indeed. B&S content. Yesterday I saw a van with a line painter sign on the motorway, I was yawning as I was feeling quite lazy, and when I looked it was being driven by Jane of Rod, Jane and Freddie fame. What are the chances of that happening? Rebecca (I think, forgive me if I'm wrong, I know who I mean) mentioned losing her B&S badge the day she got it. I think they're programmed to disappear within hours. I bought 3 at Bowlie, wore my favourite on the last night, took it off to keep it safe (oh the irony) and, when I got home it had vanished. Why? Why? oh why must these things keep happening to me? I should admit I've never really thought too hard about the words to "Simple Things". They sound fantastic, the way they just flow and roll on. 'The wind is grey' does seem appropriate, especially in the context of the typical windy grey skies in Britain. ( I prefer that weather. It's too hot in Canterbury this week). The guitar intro to the song is brilliant isn't it? All that suspense, the ticking beat, the snaking melody then.....BANG , that guitar. All that reverb. I think it's a glorious song and they did a great version at Bowlie. Sure there was something else I needed to say but I'm blowed if I can remember what it was. Anyhoo.... Love Rob "Sometimes the sun shines on unkind people."

Sinister: My Defense of The Who
by Blake E Hamilton 28 May '99

28 May '99

Well, there have been some courageous things said about the good ol Who these past few days. Most have been in a vain attempt to disregard the Who's 70's contributions as 'senseless arena rock drivel'. Or something like that. Well, though 'i'm one' (name the album, freaks) with Sister Disco's love, I'm going to answer his laundry lists of things that happened with the Who in the 70s. Why, because I'm bored. No harm is meant towards Sister Disco or the many small furry animals grooving together with a pict or whatever. Sister Disco thus spake: 1) Recording technology became more and more advanced, making Moon's drums sound like the Mighty Thor. I say: Moons drums always sounded like the Mighty Thor, especially with 1978's chart buckling "Who Are You" LP. It was in 1977 when he first bought some electronic drums (whatever that means, someone help). They did sound like shotgun blasts, hopefully not at me Sister Disco thus spake: 2) Synthesizers came in, alienating many fans, who associated them with ELP, despite their fantasticness. I say: The Who's use of the synth is widely blown out of proportion. On 1971's "Who's Next" the only synths used (aside from Going Mobile and The Song is Over) are looped classics such as Baba O'Riley and Won't Get Fooled Again. Hey those synths are nice, exciting, fruitful, and the like. 1973's Quadrophenia used a bit more synth, including those electronic strings heard on Love Reign O'er Me and all that. It actually adds quite a lot to the album, and once again, the real usage of these are never as the primary instrument, unlike Yes, et al. Sister Disco thus spake: 3) The WHO's lyrics changed from a Saturday night "rev-me-up" feel to more of a Monday night gloominess. I believe this was due to heroin, which makes you feel like you've got an enormous pile of ironing to do. I say: The Sis is sort of right, though I'm not sure I Can See for Miles is 'rev-me-up'. Nor is My Generation, I Can't Explain. All are about uneasiness with one's self, and the inability to gauge how one should feel. It's a theme that would later unravel with The Who By Numbers and Quadrophenia. Both are pure religious awakenings in the field of teen angst. (and the music's delightful to boot) Sister Disco: 4) Everyone felt the need to keep up with Led Zeppelin, so big bombastic guitars were in, as were extended blues boogie work-outs. Hardly P!O!P! art. I say: Actually--Led Zeppelin modeled themselves after The Who. Roger Daltrey had the "i'm a hunk" look at least two years before Robert "I'm way too skinny" Plant (don't get me wrong, I'm skinny) decided to act upon it. John Entwistle, bass player for the Who, actually came up with the name Led Zeppelin. Figures. Sister Disco thusly speaks prophetically: 5) The WHO spent most of the seventies in America, especially at Tanglewood Music Shed. I say: Actually they spent it at Charlton. Damn rain. Sister Disco feels it worthy to whisper: 6) Few people have ever forgiven The WHO for inventing rock operas, now the exclusive preserve of Marillion fans. He knows, you know... I say: I forgive them. Marillion, well I just don't buy it... Sista Funk says: 7) Pete discovered the seventies version of The Teletubbies, and went all mystical, a bit like David Icke. I say: Actually, Pete went mystical in the late 60s. That's where all the 60s Who comes from. Tommy, Sell Out, you got it. One of the best tracks off of Who Are You chimes in and says: 8) Roger's acting career took off, eventually culminating in "Buddy's Song". I proclaim: Roger is actually a very good actor. I believe he is in some movie starring somebody famous this year. He was in a Tales From the Crypt on the late 80s when his body fell apart after catching some rare African flesh eating disease via a letter. Cus he really wants to know: 9) John Entwistle's gonna buy a tank and an AERoplane! I say: And a big boat with flashy harpoons all over it. I've seen it. When he catches up with me won't be no time to explain: 10) They called an album "Dot to Dot with the WHO" I say: You ever try to connect these dots? It doesn't work. John's a good artist. Don't go into children's books, Ox. And to your clubs and your tramps... blake -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- "Fuck!" - Jarvis Cocker +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Non-B&S, Strength in Numbers
by Justin Williams 28 May '99

28 May '99

Morning everyone, Sorry for the non-B&S content once again, but has anyone out there heard of a group called "Strength in Numbers"? I just discovered them last night, and my god they are great. All instrumental, blue-grass instruments (mandolin, violin, acoustic guitar, up-right bass, dobro (sp)?, banjo, etc.) but done in a classical style. It really sounds like classical music done with these instruments because each player is a virtuoso in his own right. More than once I found myself thinking that these guys might as well have been the ones that invented their respective instruments, they have them so mastered. Also, I heard my first Doc Watson (blind singer/guitar player) album and that man can play a fierce acoustic, better than almost any person with sight that I have heard. Good stuff. Well I was just curious, take care....

Sinister: Cracknell by name, Cracknell by nature
by Mark Casarotto 28 May '99

28 May '99

I am writing to you today as I am a GOOD boy and in work far too early, so I don't have to feel guilty. I will, though <sigh>... Sorry Mr D, but my theory about LLPJ is *not* filthy, it's a profound comment on the weight of society and expectation on the vulnerable. To recap (1,000 groans reverberate metaphorically around the list - I like to see the list as some kind of spooky-dooky Tolkien-esque scroll somewhere, in a cave probably, with gothic characters written by spectral monks, but moving on swiftly), I reckon that Jane is just a Girl Who Can't Say No, whose only way of gaining emotional reassurance and acceptance is to sleep with anyone who wants her, or rather, a cold and emotionless shag. Therefore, "in the mud, on her knees" (obvious), "anyone, all the time" (ditto) "you know a girl who's tax free on her back.....while you are working for the joy of giving" (this is the line that shows she's not a prostitute, just a keen amateur :)). Jane also manages to pick up thrush while (this is the more, erm, tenuous part) leaning over and holding onto railings while being, um, taken from behind - the licking is the only thing she can do as she is very much the passive partner in the act, and it's a cold, pleasureless thing to do, but she still feels she should do it. Whether the thrush comes from the dirty railings or her dirty lover, who knows...and obviously she doesn't want her mum to know about her habits, but is still young and scared at the nasty infestation she's picked up, so she agonises about whether to confess. Buggered if I can work out what the line-painting's about, though - I reckon that LLPJ and It could have been...both feature the line-painting concept as Stuart thinks it's quite enigmatic and in keeping with the off-kilter characters that populate his songs. I'd love to know if there was more to it than that. Onto bigger and better things...poor Sarah Cracknell, locked up with Silverfish, of all people. I bet their atonal sludge-heavy racket is right royally pissing you off, though their cover of "Jolene" must make you smile on rainy Wednesdays. In fact, my knackered (make that "well-loved") Silverfish t-shirt has been responsible for some key moments in my life - I met my ex-girlfriend wearing it - for some reason she thought I must be cool (!?); and I got stopped by the police in it (they thought me and my mate were IRA terrorists, searched us, and then noted with delight that I was wearing the word "fuck" - though despite me getting lippy with them, I still managed to avoid arrest. hey ho). There was a famous piece in one of the music press a few years ago about Sarah Cracknell clambering over the fence at a pop festival while not wearing any knickers. I'll just leave you with that image for a moment. Anyway, the Camden Lurch - those were the days - no, really! If anyone would like to swap fond memories of Th' Faith Healers, please write - I'm a lonely soul these days... Why not name your new pets after your favourite listee? An outbreak of hamsters, iguanas and tarantulas called Ailsa Ross can only be a good thing... I actually though that Nick *was* Ronnie Corbett for a bit (the resemblance is quite strong in real life too) - he's on the list, obviously, but calls himself PJ Miller. Which explains a lot. That is quite enough, Casarotto. Just time to say check out http://www.belleandsebastian.co.uk/cgi-bin/mboard/belle/thread.cgi?215,0 and make sure you bloody come, the whole lot of you!

Sinister: Papercuts
by Power15755＠aol.com 28 May '99

28 May '99

Hi sweeties, this is for Stevie Trousers and everyone else who is involved in Papercuts: I finally had time to read it and it's wonderful! I want to see more Emir Kustarika films now. I only know "Arizona Dream", which I love. All the others sound fantastic too. Are there any back issues of the fanzine available? I want to read part 1 of "Nee nee mun pish" (whatever that means :-)). I thought it was really moving, because I have a very good friend who suffers from ME. Sounds like you know someone too, Peter, or why is it that you know so much about it? Please let me know when the next issue of Papercuts is out, I want a copy! To everyone who hasn't read it yet: Order your copy now!! Antje P.S. Oh no, sweet little Stu looks nothing like that scary Offspring bloke! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
