Sinister: Alpha Ready Lizard PeePee's

Hello People, ummmmm Well..... I drove today, in search of a rumored CD store that had Tigermilk.. It was a lovely scene driving through town a scratchy tape of "The Boy With the Arab Strap" playing on my weak car speakers as loud as i can get it, (on the off chance that some random passerby will reconize the tune and throw themselves in front of my car screaming, "stop stop stop, i thought i would never find anyone around here that listens to B&S". But alas nothing of sort happened.) So i knew i was probably setting myself up for dissapointment when i walked into the store whislting "chickfactor" for almost the same reason. Avoided talking to the guy at the counter becasue i have the hardest time talking to males, i am not sure why but being rasied in the matriarcal setting that i was i have the hardest time dealing with men. At any rate I found the CD jumped about three feet in the air and ran out-side. Just to turn around and run back inside and pay for my ill-gotten treasure. I sped home (not that anyone would notice as everyone speeds in Atlanta) and listened to it in it's full digital glory. And it was wonderfulll of course it was.. however.... I think i still like my weathered tape of Tigermilk borrowed from a friend that stole it from an enemy that made a copy of a copy from a bootleg that was burned from someone that was rumored to have an actual copy. I say it is nice to listen to, but some of the mystery is missing. Oh well enough of my rambles..

Sinister: I think I'm done with the kitchen table, baby
by mctag＠bigfoot.com 21 Jul '99

21 Jul '99

Oh Sinister! Gee whizz. It's been a celebrity studded last couple of weeks since I last deigned to speak to you.... First of all my "manor" is in a state of muted awe right now, thanks to the recent arrival of a new resident, Mr. Jah Wobble. Wob-browsing has taken over our lives. Points are gained for sightings of the great nutter, with extra bonus marks if you manage to spot him in full Arab headgear, like he wore on the cover of that record he did that I've forgotten the name of. I haven't seen him yet, but you can rest assured that I've been touched by his presence, dears. Secondly, I saw Dan Ackroyd getting into a fucking big limo in Glasgow and you didn't. Well, a couple of you did. Actually, I think he's a bit crap, but that didn't stop me from telling everyone who'd listen ad nauseam on Friday night. Telling everyone how great you are because you've seen someone famous makes you big and clever, I learnt that from being on Sinister. ~ I was a bit disappointed in Beanz' Divine top ten on the B&S website, as he failed to mention any of the songs that made Baltimore's finest transvestite the legend he is today. No "Shoot your shot", no "You think you're a man"...what was he thinking of? Talking of Divine, I'm reading John Waters's "Crackpot" at the moment and it's a right rivetting read. Although it doesn't mention the episode when JW and Divine went on a little shoplifting spree, each urging the other to steal progressively more outrageous things. This culminated in Divine emerging from one shop with a TV under one arm and a chainsaw in the other. I bet Keith Moon never did anything that funny, the big girl's blouse. Now I'm going to be all useful... Andy Pandy wrote: >cover versions? we got um... > >there was a whole gig full of serge covers At the Gainsbourg tribute night last summer, Stevie did "Lolita go home". And I met a very foxy lady from Toronto. There was another Serge night before that when I seem to remember Isobel covered "Bonnie and Clyde". But I wasn't there. >there was also that time they supplied the music for evie sands Yes, they played on "Angel of the morning", "I can't let go" and "Take me for a little while". Plus "Wild Thing", featuring a Murdoch bass solo Jah Wobble himself would be proud of. There was also a night at the 13th Note two Decembers ago where they did a set of 5 covers - a Beck song sung by Richard, a Curtis Mayfield song (Stevie), "I've got something on my mind" by ye Lefte Banke (sung by Disco Stu), "You trip me up" by the Jesus and Mary Chain (Sarah singing) and Orange Juice's "In a nutshell" (Isobel). I need a lie down now. Isn't Keith supposed to do all the informative stuff?

martin talked a lot of rudeness, but his message rang clear and true like a brass bell when he said: << Ummm...oh yes there are some wonderful pop songs now up on the ear thing web site / record label (url below). You should all Bookmark it. Treasure it. Love it. Tell your friends. Spread its gospel. Let it whisper its sweet confectionary into your ears. Or something. Oh and please forgive its inevitable teething problems>>> He's dead right, boys and girls. Go see Ear Confection Records. It's very nice, and I'm not just saying that because I'm involved. Very soon more band will be on the site, and before you know it, we'll be mildly famous. So get on the bandwagon now. Really. The Rescuers are *good*. In fact, someone from sinister is in them. Sorry, but i don't know who. He or she will have to stand up and introduce themself. PS you can send us (well, martin) tapes and demos if you like. We need to get more people the exposure they deserve, and the more bands there are on the site, the more interest will be generated. I think. dave, US liason for Ear Confection (east coast branch) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Ah been misconstrued! (2)
by McQuain, Chris 21 Jul '99

21 Jul '99

I posted this last night, but I've received quite a handful of Sinister posts, but never received my post, so I assume it somehow didn't get posted. If it did, I sincerely apologize in advance for the repeat. ******************************************************************* I. AM. A. FEMINIST. There, I said it and I feel so much better. I'm a feminist in an pro-ERA/pro-porn/pro-choice/Camille Paglia kind of way, not a radical gender-superiority kind of way, but still, what Megan wrote I feel I must clear up: >>>>>>>>At 12:03 PM 7/19/99, McQuain, Chris wrote: >A girl who loves Kubrick, actually knows Godard's Weekend, and into Belle & >S? I normally play for the Pink Team, but Dawn- will you marry me? alright, i know i tend to find fault with chris' posts a lot, but this perhaps rubbed me the wrong way. maybe it's because i take shit from boys all day at film school, and we're not talking obvious stuff, more like the let-me-have-my-friend-who-is-a-boy-shoot-the-camera-because-i-have-yet-to-de velop-the-social-skills-to-accept-that-girls-are-human-beings. girls are not immune to good film!!! <<<<<<<< Okay, let me translate what I wrote for the humor impaired: As one who plays for The Pink Team, it would be highly unusual for me to propose to a girl. It would also be highly unusual to find a PERSON, boy or girl, who worships at the twin Kubrick/Godard altars. The only reason I had to use the word 'girl' instead of the word 'person' is so my rather flip little joke would make sense, but I see it backfired. I in no way meant to imply that girls need to be led into good taste by boys. In fact, in my experience, it's often the opposite case. I'm horrified that this has been mis-read as misogynistic and patronizing. I know the person for whom it was intended didn't mind it at all- at least SHE got the joke. It makes about as much sense for somebody to take the 'girl' thing seriously as it does for Dawn to fly out here to Portland for our 'wedding'. I honestly don't understand it. If I didn't take every last thing written on this list with a grain of salt and a good sense of humour, I'm sure I would've been offended hundreds of times over by now. Yet somebody takes offense at well-intentioned, shyly-stuttering, utterly inoffensive me? Well, I choose not to be offended by THAT, either, but I hope this post will clear up any misconceptions about me being some kind of chauvinist pig. Pink Teamers hardly ever are, and if they are they should be doubly ashamed. -Two or Three Things I Know About Chris +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Happiness is a ...
by Cynthia Someone 21 Jul '99

21 Jul '99

hello everyone. Nothing like a new cd to get me blazingly cheery. i listened to Tigermilk last night and invented a new dance by the second track. Life really isn't so bad. Today i have called in sick from work and the sun is shining into my echinacea tea, and i am wishing I could meet some of your dreamers in person. I am also wishing to be a fantastic piano player. I can play "I'm bringing home a baby bumble bee". I guess that's good enough. everyone is loving starwars. that is interesting because there's so much slagging of it in the media here in the states. even some of the biggest science fiction buffs found it disappointing. i loved it because it's beautiful. lit like a sparkler Cynthia _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

Sinister: New Years eve frenzy!!!!
by jarkko frantila 21 Jul '99

21 Jul '99

Ok, I should write this to the meet-up thingy (and I will, but later), but I thought I'd do some checking out first (and YES, I know this is EARLY). The thing is this: I'm, going to London for the new year, and I was wondering if there's any plans for some big B&S- extravaganza on new years eve? Would be nice, I said to myself yesterday, while reading The Buddha Of Suburbia in the park. 'Cause I have a feeling that all the places will be crammed with people in there on THAT day. So please, if there's somebody in here who lives in a mansion in downtown London and has all these beautiful servants who are willing to rub my shoulders while the fireworks are cracking holes to the ozone layer, please let me know. Please. And 15 days 'till I get my computer. And then I shall write to people I haven't written to for almost a month. I'm off now. It's raining outside, but I'm going partying today, so I don't mind. @--->--- Jace le petit.

Sinister: I take what I need and I throw away the rest
by Mark Casarotto 21 Jul '99

21 Jul '99

I'm just back from watching Sinister-recommended (cheers, CatatonicSteve!) daytime TV programme Ready, Steady, Cook Jesus. The deregulation of TV, I don't know. Here's some startling new evidence that listening to Tigermilk (particularly "The State I'm In") is epidemic at Buckingham Palace: http://www.pa.press.net/news/royal/ROYAL_Footman_42377s.html?pab293 Gosh I'm funny today. They say a sense of humour is very attractive in a man, so quick! get to the List Crush booth before your sides split! However, can people stop fancying Marcus Omond (3 votes and counting) as he's getting so loved up he's likely to explode :) The Spoon mentioned Pussy Galore. I don't remember seeing them here before, but they're certainly worthy of discussion. Cu*t Tease is indeed a fine song, and I'd pay good money to hear Isobel warble Julie Cafritz' lines. Next week - Sarah Martin is the God of Fuck . And on that disturbing but strangely titillating thought, I'll go and book my tickets to New York.
