yay! Blake is back! I would have given my next door neighbor's left hand for a chance to see looper play an acoustic set. If anyone can provide me with a bootleg of that show, i'll give you darn near anything. The post on the nature of love that was *supposed* to be private had lots of good things to say. I'm glad it was inflicted on the list tho. very informative. I don't believe in a single soulmate. sorry. That's all i shall say, since I think justin said the rest. who else would like to let Oversized Stu tell us the secret of who the list crush voters are? I know i would. i love some of you but not others. dave +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: all removables, all transitory
by Blake E Hamilton 27 Jul '99

27 Jul '99

my lovely sinister! have you missed me? yes? hmph, well, the midwestern part of the US is lovely, though Detroit has some unpleasant things about it. my friend and i stayed in a hotel with no clocks. and his bed was missing a leg. it was really strange. we called the front desk to ask why no clocks were in any room and the lady replied 'we don't want you to know what time it is.' unlucky for her, i have a wristwatch. i hope you all didn't miss me as i took off in my toyota celica, intrepidly getting lost in suburban detroit and almost running out of gas on three separate occasions. hopefully i shall give a more fleeting and lovely post when my brain is together. but to all those who helped me cope with isobel crush, thanks. though a soul did inform me that she is rather rude as a person, and that her whole 'cute and cuddly' image is a facade. say it ain't so! anyone on the list had tea with bel? yes yes well, do tell. lots of rhymes. ouch. my glasses flew out of the car window today! i'm blind. someone help! i realize i don't have bad luck after all. luck never existed in the first place. blake xx -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- "Fuck!" - Jarvis Cocker +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: maybe i'm in love...
by marie elia 27 Jul '99

27 Jul '99

oh, faux pas! two posts in one day! but i am still riding a wave of contentment ... i finally decided -- after much hemming and hawing -- to head to the looper in-store in nyc tonight, even though megan would rather pack and mick would rather help her ;) so i called up a friend who'd never heard of looper or b&s and kidnapped him after work, and we headed down to other music, waited for an hour on line, during which we chatted up with a nice and nice-looking nyu music student... and, as luck would have it, since we were in the beginning of the line we ended up at the front of the audience... ooooh... and then the magic starts. no equipment for looper, b/c apparently they rented it and had to return it. so it was just StuD on a guitar that wasn't his, and karn shaking her thang (er, her maraca thingy) and singing. and it was beautiful. (burning flies, winter woosfkie, Y2K, quiet and small, and paper boat -- and mick is right: either stuart got better at singing or i've grown to love his voice. i now LIKE paperboat.) la la la... so i was right there, not 3 feet away from stuart, and whenever he looked up he ended up looking right at me, and of course i dropped my gaze and got all flushed and tried not to stare, but damnit he is rather beautiful, eh? and his voice is rather lovely. and the whole 1/2 hour experience was well worth the wait and the effort of summoning up courage to go.... afterwards there was a signing, but i had decided that getting things signed is not for me, so i didn't bring anything. i wanted to just go up and tell him and karn how lovely the set was, and to ask what the goddamn name of that beautiful winter song Really is, but i felt all shy -- which i really Never am. and i wanted to catch the 9pm train home, so.... i promise to be quiet for a whole week now, really! xoxo, marie === ************************************************************** "I was a proper snob in college, as only a future lifetime English major can be" - buddy glass "to me she was just marie." -mersault ************************************************************** _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: she's a waitress, and she's got piles
by fountainhead 26 Jul '99

26 Jul '99

hello jellytots it's 12:34am and, instead of going to bed, i'm going to listen to okcomputer in it's entirety and catch up with a mailbox full of sinister goings on. to those who were in attendance at the chemex/airport girl/luckies gig last week - thanks for coming along, and i hope that you all enjoyed yourselves. so am i to be the mary jo of nottingham? i guess that's ok. there are a million guitarists in 'indie' bands, so i like to be a bit different. it would be shame to waste many years of classical training. i'm a dreadful clarinet player though. for those who are interested - i know that arantxa didn't like the lucksmiths all that much, but i thought that there were rather splendid. any b&s comparisons are a bit wide of the mark though. i'm reliably informed that they sound like hefner, but i've never heard hefner, so i can't confirm it. whoever they sound like, their brand of slighty off-beat punky pop went down well amongst an unexpectedly large crowd. to cap it all, they were absolutely lovely people who spent a lot of time saying how good they thought that the other bands were. they also gave me all of their cd's for free. re. sinister pictures... i don't think anyone should be bothered whether others on the list like their pictures or not. i do the homepage for alt.music.blur which has pictures of many of the regulars, it's all a bit of fun really. it's nice to be able to put faces to some of the names. whether or not you're after any kind of trouser fumbling is best kept private. maybe i'll find a picture for sinister - but all of mine are either dreadfully horrible or dreadfully misleading. and finally - i've got tigermilk on shiny new vinyl, and it's wonderful. i've yet to study the tracklist and put titles to songs, but i don't think there are any that i don't like - so there are no complaints from my corner. "i wish that they'd swoop down on a country road late at night when i'm driving they'd take me on board their beautiful ship and show me the world as i'd love to see it" f. -- fountainhead(a)earthling.net busy - http://fly.to/balls doing - http://listen.to/chemex nothing - http://fly.to/fountain -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: On the nature of love...
by bfundak＠bgnet.bgsu.edu 26 Jul '99

26 Jul '99

I have a question for all of the sensitive sinister kids who think about the nature of love as often as I do. I have had a crush on my best friend for some time now, and I was thinking about the idea of there being one "perfect" person out there for everyone. Basically what I mean by this is that there is one person that exists for someone else. They may not exist for the express purpose of being together, but it works you know? So my question is this. Is there such a thing as the "perfect" mate? I have my own ideas on this, but I was wondering what some of you kids thought. Let me know...

Sinister: Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto
by allen 26 Jul '99

26 Jul '99

Well, I'm certainly surprised by how many people have read The Onion (fave headline: Microsoft Patents Ones, Zeroes). Is it actually sold on streetcorners and at newsstands and such in the US? I accidentally bumped into their site whilst searching for any web sites on that song Mr. Roboto by Styx*. They featured an article entitled "Nation's Rappers Down to Last Two Samples" wherein it was noted that rappers have sampled just about everything -- except for two songs: "Mr. Roboto" and "Tiptoe through the tulips" -- and now there was a crisis of epic proportions as there'd definitely be a bidding war for those last two songs. Hilarious. I'm sorry if anyone here is a Styx fan or else a huge "Mr. Roboto" fan, but that song is too damn funny. It's so 80s and cheesy. I first heard it on a VW commercial and then heard the full song on the radio a little while ago. I especially love the "secret, secret" chant in the verse. (Watch as Allen runs out to buy the album with Mr. Roboto on it for laughs and turns into a huge Styx fan and denounces all his current faves, including B&S. Hey, it could happen.) * This reminds me of my junior high language arts teacher who was teaching us greek mythology at one point (great subject, BTW). And it turns out there is a River Styx in greek mythology. Well, said teacher never failed to point out, "Oh, there's a rock band with the name Styx that you may be familiar with. <smirk>" Like she was trying to be "groovy" and "hip" and "cool" and such and such. When, in fact, she was just being "square." I swear, she must've mentioned it 20 times and each time I'd think, "Dammit! We've never heard of that band before!!! We listen to GOOD music like Vanilla Ice, Kris Kross, M.C. Hammer and other talented artists." (This is what was popular in the early '90s for a little while for those not in the know. Egads, some people even wore their pants backwards to look like Kris Kross. lol) Too funny...

Sinister: Looper, Electronic Ripoff?, Order for the Anally Retentive
by Brian Pennington (Mick McMick) 26 Jul '99

26 Jul '99

Hey Sinisterines, I'm afraid I'll be missing the Looper instore this evening, sadly. The show on Friday was indeed quite lovely. The songs all sounded as if they'd been greatly fleshed out since the recording of the album. It's a shame they can't re-record the album now. Anyway, perhaps this is a better preview of Looper album nombre deux. Also, Winter Woos[f]kie was this time performed by all the members of Looper, not just David on geetar and Stuart D. on vocals. It sounded great. Either Stu[D] is getting better at singing or his voice is growing on me. Either way it's good =) Dan, I saw you but didn't know you were une sinisterine. Wondered where you got the shirt, but figured it was through the webpage. Guess not. I certainly liked the whole audio/visual experience, though. That was the best part of it I think. Sometimes the video seemed a smidgen trite, but it seemed mostly quite good. Regarding the scene with a dancing flares-wearing boy, some expressed skepticism as to whether or not it was Chris. We all definately thought we saw Sarah and Isobel, though. It must be fairly old, as it was prior to Isobel getting her hair cut like Amelia Fletcher/Jane Seberg. We thought we saw Stuart Murdoch sitting on a fallen log near Sarah, but it is only conjecture. I do agree with whoever thinks the flares-clad boy was Chris, as in Ink Polaroids he asked for "40-inch flares and Celtic to win the league cup." Moving on, as per a post on the Factory list (which is only slightly higher traffic than Sha-La-La, sadly): > Having recently bought the Belle & Sebastian album Tigermilk, just > released on CD for the first time, I was struck by the similarity of > the song Electronic Renaissance to New Order's Procession - both the > bassline and synths. Is this plagiarism......? I won't post the author, and I'll let you all make your own judgements as to his/her question. I can't even remember what Procession sounds like offhand... Lastly, Stuart Gardiner was stumped as to whether or not to include Tigermilk last or first in his record collection. Well, being somewhat less anal retentive than the main character in High Fidelity yet somewhat more than the average Joe, I'll give my two cents. If the release date is what matters to you, then put it most recent. If, however, the chronolgy of the recordings, not their proper releases, is important, put it earlier on. However, if you do that, stick Dog on Wheels before it, because it was the first in order of recording. That's how I do it, anyway. Okay, that's all for me.
