I really dig the Bowlie II line-up (especially Blonde Redhead who are tops in my book) but we're all huge B&S fans and since I doubt we could afford to go to Bowlie II and III, we're holding out in the hopes that Struan and the gang make their presence known at the December bash. I hope with a new album due out shortly beforehand, it'd be a good sign that they would play...maybe they'll bring their good friend Elliott Smith along as well!

Sinister: If you wanna be a martyr...try harder!
by Walkn10＠aol.com 14 Jun '99

14 Jun '99

I'd like to thank the lovely soul who used a Braid lyric as her subject line last week as it lead me to dust off my copy of "Frames and Canvas" and re-discover what a great record that is. Its a shame that as of August they'll be calling it quits...alas. I know someone else was going on and on about Rainer Maria awhile back, and being a huge Rilke fan I went and picked up the "New York 1955" 7" and its quite good. The two songs sound a bit similar on first listen but I like the girl/guy vocals alot. Does anyone have their new album and is it anything like these two songs? I got a haircut today and for whatever reason the very nice lady doing the cutting ended my newly born sideburns' short life. They were coming in so nice and scraggly until today, so I'm a bit down about it right now. She didn't even ask...just 'snip,snip' and they were gone. They will be missed. Does any future Biologists out there know whether peanut butter or another equally high source of protein really does make hair grow faster? Someone told me that once... Unfortunately I couldn't make the DC picnic this past Sat but I heard it was aces so I'm glad. Croquet matches 20 people large sounds very awesome so I'm really sad I missed that. Hopefully "Picnic Organizer Extrordinaire" Christa or someone with equal parts gumption and resolve can set one up for August. When do the DC cherry blossoms bloom? Any DC and MD listees keep an eye out for a compilation CD coming out this summer entitled "Spitting Seeds V: The Best Maryland has to offer" or something along those lines. My band Poplar Ridge has a contribution entitled "Great Scott" which is our homage to Michael J. Fox and the legendary Back to the Future trilogy. I'm sure we're among the best MD has to offer but we're on it, its a cheap disc and we may being playing some shows up and down the East Coast to support it so we may run into some you hopefully. Well my parents are telling me to bugger off so I will...

Sinister: Rude awakening

INTERNET:Jygsaw18@aol.com wrote <<< Robert "australian for beer" Foster came up with what I think would be an amazing title for an album: <<White Man's Albatross>> I haven't heard anything that funny since I sniffed glue and went to a political convention. Mercy. He also put me in my place with a well aimed Judo Chop. Apparantly my little jibe about kilometres in the UK was about as funny as Paris burning, since I'm told that they have miles in the UK too. Ooops. I could have sworn the signs read otherwise, but then again, i was drinking a good bit of the time, so you never really know, now do you? >>> White Man's Albatross is the title of a little ditty I wrote about 18 months ago, my friend and I used to write stories together, they were a bit strange, but that was the title of it, the star of it was a man called Martin Chant and his friend Englebert Crabtree.

StephenEssexDog5TeletextMan looked quite the suave bon viveur on Friday, his clean lines throwing companion FunkySeb's mad doctor looks into sharp contrast. And it was kind of him to say I looked pretty, but in the light of the rest of his email, I'm not sure his judgement can be trusted: >Mr Dastoor (whom I can confirm is as pretty as everyone says he is, having >met him uber-briefly on Fri) made a guess at the origins of Marie's "la la la >la la", but, as I was listening to Century Of Fakers while reading said post, >I believe (most firmly) that this is the song they came from.

In >fact, according to Stuart David (from when I interviewed him for Teletext a >few months back), Winter Wooskie and Landslide (which I also thought was >called Last Night the first time I heard it) should both be on it, and >obviously these tracks were aired at Bowlie. WRONG-HEADED! I never said that songs from the new album had been played live - I said that no *Stuart Murdoch* songs had been. Which is a veeery veeery different matter. And PeeJay - I would write to Stuart Murdoch to check the lyrics to Lord Snooty, but I'm scared. You do it for me. Tell him your mate fancies him.

Hi sinistereens, I wish to apologise for my error of sending a personal email to the list... Caught with my pants down indeed. What a bad way to introduce yourself to a new community...

by Essexdog5＠aol.com 14 Jun '99

Mr Dastoor (whom I can confirm is as pretty as everyone says he is, having met him uber-briefly on Fri) made a guess at the origins of Marie's "la la la la la", but, as I was listening to Century Of Fakers while reading said post, I believe (most firmly) that this is the song they came from. So, er, there. Nick also mentioned "Teletext monitors" with respect to stuff about the next album, arguing that no songs from the next album had yet been played live. In fact, according to Stuart David (from when I interviewed him for Teletext a few months back), Winter Wooskie and Landslide (which I also thought was called Last Night the first time I heard it) should both be on it, and obviously these tracks were aired at Bowlie. As far as the next EP (or, rather, three track single) goes, he actually said that they want to release Middle Distance/Paper Boat/Lord Anthony, but having recorded five versions of the former, they couldn't agree which was the best - Stu D plumped for the first take, saying "I think it's the best thing we've ever done". Lumme. As the resident Belle & Seb-ophile for Teletoss, btw, I doubt they'll bother mentioning B&S much any more, as I left my job there last week after three years of relative misery (Yay, freedom! etc). And I never even got to review the Tigermilk reissue. The bloke replacing me has an unhealthy My Life Story fixation... eek! Stephen, The guy sat drunkenly singing Lord Anthony with FunkySeb at the end of Tigermilking - btw, Alix, the tape (of B&S doing Lord Anthony, not myself and Seb, obviously) will be with you by the weekend. PS Mark - Respect for playing Ray Of Light on Friday. And Soon, but sadly I was in the loo checking my hair at the time. Bah! PPS If anyone has an e-mail address for Kirsten 'Bus Stop' Bailey or her pal Simon White, could they please forward it to me? Thankee. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: oh... that was you was it
by Sam Norman 14 Jun '99

I know Mark has already said thank you to everyone who came and made Friday night so great, but i thought that i would also like to thank everyone who came. There will be another night hopefully sometime in August (if not before). If anyone has any suggestions as to how we could improve the night and make it even better i would love to hear from you. Thanks again to everyone, hope everyone got home ok. Including the poor lost soul who's front door key we found once the club was closed (the garage have still got the key, if it was yours). Hope you all got a lollipop Sam +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
