cover versions? we got um... the gentle waves covered 'kinky love' there was a whole gig full of serge covers there was also that time they supplied the music for evie sands i seem to recall a mary chain cover being played once upon a time stevie did the guitar bit from the start of 'circle sky' in glasgow and a bunch of stuff was played to the queue at bowlie pamela h: tape went off this morning. andy make that 'yesterday morning'... oh um, 1:20. so much for an early night. oh, tomorrow (wednesday) at 4 in the morning there's a program on channel 4 (england) about people who believe the moon landings were faked. dave the moon-man anyone? (i watched the last one of these which was the conspiracy theory one - apparently we are being mind-controlled by someone or other using microwave guns. they also plant invisible bugging devices in our clothes whilst we sleep) the ants seem to be back. my own fault for leaving irn bru cans lying around. still, i see the spider is doing his best to keep down the numbers. advert in the guardian last week for a unix administrator for the astrophysics department of edinburgh university, send applications to one dr paul mitchell. who'd want to work for such a foul-mouthed curmudgeon is beyond me... pah! (home.clara.net/koogy/photos/) let's all live on the moon and drink each other's piss... +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: My throat hurts too
by ar981611＠student.paisley.ac.uk 20 Jul '99

20 Jul '99

It's not fair is it? You finally get someone in your life that you are quite reasonably happy to be with and then he goes and gets glandular fever on you. So I'm a bit ill. And I missed Mogwai and GYBE (and made Grandpa Cook's Mogwai-loving grandson miss Mogwai as he hung pathetically about the pub for an hour and a half wondering why I hadn't showed up). And I get to feel very silly for deciding to end the platonicness (platonicity? platonisation?) of our friendship for a whole two days before he becomes medically advised not to kiss anyone for six weeks, so we are just pretty much as we were before really and the point of him being a boyfriend as opposed to a bestest friend who happens to be a bloke is kind of lost a bit. Hmmm. Anyway that'll be why I haven't been around these parts much recently. (the sore throat I contracted, presumably from the two days of being un-platonic). And why I have been a bit slack on the tape delivery front. They are nearly all out now so sorry to you all, and I will buy a pint for each and every one of the 27 of you who have had to wait so patiently if you are ever in Glasgow. Unless you all arrive at the same time. I'm getting to go to my first London picnic. On July 31st. I get to go on a plane and everything. I'm not going to Heathrow, in case someone chops me up and puts me in a suitcase in a car park (apologies to all non-Brits who probably haven't a clue about what I'm on about). I'm a bit scared my doctor may put me on anti-biotics so I don't get glandular fever (I just have a sore throat at the moment), as I intend to drink loads and loads and loads whilst in London and I could get a bit tipsy . Well. more tipsy than usual. Shit. I shouldn't threaten drunken-ness, as I have still to sort my accommodation. Ooh, accommodation. Chalets. All TimHopkin's Panties. We've got nearly all of our original chalet re-united now. Is anyone still looking for a chalet to share with (or people to share a chalet with, if you are going to be as pedantic as I am being whilst reading over this)? I might know someone who can help you. (Privately, PLEASE!!!) I have no interest in seeing Star Wars whatsoever. I could have gone on Sunday, but I stayed in to watch Paul Lawrie being great at golf and American commentators being huffy about it. I bet the golf was more exciting too. I hate golf and I was dead excited about it. But talking of films, as you all were, can I just say that whoever mentioned "tit flicks", that sounds painful. Does anyone want to give me a Tigermilk carrier bag? Paisley doesn't have a local indie shop. Though there is a dodgy=looking old-man's drinking establishment displaying posters for Tigermilk AND Starfighter Pilot just along the road from me. And did anyone win one of those nice Mary Jo T-shirts at a Tigermilk launch night? The bloke next to me won one, well he would have done if he had realised and gone up to get it before they gave it away to the next ticket holder. I got some Tigermilk posters. They are very good for having lightsaber fights with on dance floors. Calumn Shearer has a Tigermilk poster autographed by Chris Geddes and some Art School bouncers and some random people from the bar (including me, but I was unsurprisingly drunk so it's probably illegible). He's supposed to be doing a competition for it but that'd involve de-lurking. Go on, Cal, you know you want to :) Chris G dances like a big girl to his own records you know. Much better than that scaredy cat Struan who was seen legging it from Maryhill at a great speed at the sound of one of his records. Anyone coming to see Camera Obscura on Saturday, 13th Note? They're ace, and feature that nice Mr Colburn on drumming duties. I'll be there, and I promise not to give anyone glandular fever. Alasdair will be there too to regale all and sundry with tales of his famous grandpa. Do we want to go to the pub before the gig? I think so. Anyone? Oh, that's more than enough for me. Go and do something else. Oh, you probably already have. Oh well.

Sinister: Goodbye Yankee Prince...
by bkim0＠dept.english.upenn.edu 20 Jul '99

20 Jul '99

...the latest tribute single by Elton "Eulogy" John hopefully. (Where were *you* when JFK Jr. was presumed dead?) First, any listees that see the Lucksmiths, could you post some reviews? I'd love to hear about what's going on with our beloved Aussie threesome. I hear they really packed the Poetry Cafe in London...the word was "sweat" by those who attended. Is that dope enough? Indeed. Secondly, I don't think I'm going to make it for the Looper show this Wednesday here in Philly. Can't be bothered. Don't have the album, don't like it enough to go or buy it, and plus there are tons of other shows to see on a shoestring budget...Ladybug Transistor/Beulah/Apples in Stereo at Nick's on Thursday, the DJ Franco-powered "Foxy Cat" dance night at Silk City on Friday, and the Magnetic Fields at the Black Cat in DC on Saturday. Whew! If any of y'all want to say hey, I'll be there with my girlfriend Adela, she'll be the tall blond one who could pass for Isobel's more glamorous sister (you'd never catch her wearing Birkenstocks with socks I'll tell ya that much!), no kiddin'. Thirdly, Big Stu asked if I (well not specifically me but I'll take up the gauntlet) would've liked "ER" done by another band. The answer is yes, esp. if it were New Order. It'd probably have bigger drums, a good Hooky bass lead, and the lyrics would be almost silly enough to be believably sung (and created) by Barney himself. I've gone ahead and declared myself to be Elton John's new lyrical partner, so here's a rough draft. Sorry Bernie, maybe next one. "Goodbye Yankee Prince" (Kim/John) Goodbye Yankee Prince Of Camelot and Editor of _George_ Brother to Caroline And son of Jackie O.-- And John Fitzgerald Kennedy Oh, the press still hounded you Not because you failed the bar But you shared your daddy's name Da da da, dee dee dee and whatever the hell else you want to put in there. Topically, Xavier BXK bkim0(a)dept.english.upenn.edu | www.english.upenn.edu/~bkim0 It's what kind of hair you have on the inside that counts.--G.S. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Sorry it's so big
by Robert Foster 20 Jul '99

20 Jul '99

Simon Warner said: >>Would you still need anyone to send in reviews? I meant to get around to >>replying straight away, but... (insert excuse here) ... well it's funny you should say this because a few minutes ago I finished uploading the review html files, sadly the bulletin page has too many bugs to go up now but it'll be ready in a few days. This means that the scrolling text at the bottom of the page should be ignored, it'll take you no where except a 'sorry, this page doesn't exist' type of thing. I was going to announce this as a finished site today but bits of it unexpectedly, er, don't work. anyway, yes by all means send in a review. Also, the review submission pages do not work, so you'll all have to send in reviews by your own email editor. But the 'read a review' pages do work, so as soon as you send them in, I can put them up. God this is exciting. I've got a big grin... As I said I was going to announce this to Sinister today, and I was going to explain how to use it. So a few weeks ago (when I had the idea) I wrote a 'how to submit a review' document. The only thing is that it's three A4 pages long and I'm not sure sending that to the Mailing List would be that popular. But it is an important document, so if I get back emails saying 'Oh, that's okay Rob, I don't mind receiving a 3 page document because it'll mean that by reading it I can send in my cool reviews", then I'll have no problems with sending it to Sinister. Please feel the need to write reviews Oh, I suppose I'd better give you the URL address: http://members.tripod.co.uk/wpwe Rob +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Puff the magic dragon
by Stuart Gardiner 20 Jul '99

20 Jul '99

Greetings, kiddiewinkles. Firstly, I guess I should apologise to anyone who's been trying to email me recently. My uni email address has been cancelled, now I'm entering the big bad world outside, so I'm stuck with hotmail for now. Which also means I've had to go digestive for a while, but I'll cope somehow... I had a job in a pub once, but as of two days ago I'm unemployed. And my life is a lot better as a result. Of course, I've now got less money than the average watermelon, but never mind. Nice to read that Stevie is, according to the Guardian, "Quiet enough to be one of his own fans, but way too tall". Well I'll disprove the theory that B&S fans are short by coming down to London on Thursday for a picnic. And anyone who's working that day will be expected to turn up at the pub for the evening. I'll probably be the one walking round with a pronounced limp; I did a 26 mile sponsored walk up the mountains in South Wales on Saturday, and as a result I've now got feet on my blisters. The next morning, my feet were killing me... (they tried to shoot me) All these arguments (again!) about ER; just ask yourself, would you like it if it was by another band? I know I always get super-critical of B&S, just because I expect such a ridiculously high standard. Recently I've even been complaining about the fact that "I Don't Love Anyone" is one note too short. (No really, it is. The last note of the song just isn't there...) Big Stu (Feeling left out because he seems to be the only person on the list who hasn't even got anyone to have a crush on at the moment) ______________________________________________________ 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".

Sinister: If it rocks, put it on the table.
by Newth, Tom 20 Jul '99

20 Jul '99

Just to throw in my six eggs, the Beatles have a "What Goes On" on Rubber Soul, which is not a patch on the top chugger "What Goes On" on the third VU album. Now as to which one our beloved troubadours have been known to regale us with, I've not a clue, being sadly bereft of all manner of B&S bootlegs. Except the ones which aren't B&S but sound like them. Also I could have sworn I heard them cover "C*nt Tease" by Pussy Galore, but I could have been dreaming. Not such an odd idea, when you think about it - that slightly unusual take on the recycled boy/girl/relationship song... Should we start a petition for songs we want them to cover? Or would it just be annoying? I am most sorry not to partake of the Kubrick thread, being a limey an' all, but whilst never really being thrilled by him, I do find his films endlessly fascinating for all their flaws. Somewhat like Pasolini, if I may make so bold a comparison. But perhaps this is not the place, although I would love to chew the fat about all manner of arty films with TOTTIKAC and others. Is there somewhere you folks go and do this without boring those B&S fans of a less pretentious bent? It may be of interest to you all to know that the new improved Tigermilk sounds revelatory on my (slightly creaky) surround sound system with all sorts of funny background bits coming to the fore. Except Electronic Renaissance which cos of all the phase and delay and stuff just sounds as though there's a sabre-toothed tiger-sized hairball on the stylus. And I for one quite like the fact it has no spine. I have no idea why. I just do. love to you all spoon +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
