hi. this is an unusual first post, but i want to respond. i read an article in spin (i know i know, but it was the same issue as the piece on rainer maria) that lead me to believe that the blair with movie story is completely false. they interviewed the film students who created the story and then i saw a piece on mtv that lead me to believe the same thing. the film students wanted to create a movie that captured fear. when i saw that piece and read that interview, i was incredibly disappointed. i saw an ad for the movie that gave a timeline and it seemed so real, so interesting. but i'm lead to believe there is no witch, no killings, no film students dead, no actual footage found, etc etc. just a hoax to scare you silly. apparently, it's working. i hope i'm wrong. it would be MUCH better if it was a true story. mary jo, whose name is REALLY mary jo, who is so happy to have an actual copy of tigermilk. _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

Sinister: are you afraid of the dark?
by RPushong＠aol.com 15 Jul '99

hello everybody... picking up from Mick McMick...on the film that scared him...made me think back to a few years ago...a friend of mine used to work in Wembley Box office ...& one of the perks of the job used to be free tickets to things that weren't sold out...anyway he got tickets to see something called Global Conspiracy...far from being some cutting edge band , it was more like a conference...and it scared the hell out out of me..., they had speakers from all over the world...but the scariest thing of all...they had a band on during 1 of the intervals ...& it was none other than a pre Kula Shaker Crispian Mills...it took me a little while to recover ...but i'll never forget the overwhelming sense of paranoia as i left the building. as for actual movies that scared me ...well nothing scared me more than the first Nightmare on Elm Street...it wasn't so much the film but more like the thought that if you go to sleep Freddie will get you...for someone who has problems sleeping ...this added a new twist to sleepless nights. in the electronic renaissance debate...& being someone who hadn't heard Tigermilk beforehand ...it was a bit of a shock on first listening but i kind of like now..., i think it adds a new dimension...it would have been the easiest thing in the world to leave this track off the album...,but i like it when bands i like do things unexpected. it seems to me there are quite a few B&S rareties floating around & i don't have anything! but i do have other things to offer...i have Felts last 2 gigs before they broke up...as well as a very rare Felt secret gig they played under the name The Dismantled Kings.I've also got 3 Shack gigs from 10 years ago...the quality i must add is fantastic...i've got other things as well...if you can email me privately i'm sure we can work out a trade. i'll say goodbye.... richard. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Those numbers are right alright...

I must concur with Mick that the "Tony/Linda" Blair Witch project looks scary as all get up. They've been showing alot of clips from the movie on the Sci-Fi channel and whatnot and even they almost made me get a change of trousers. I haven't been that frightened since...well...Darth Maul a few weeks ago (but he was scary dammit!). I live in Maryland, about an hour and a half away from where all that stuff went down but I likewise will stay as far away from there as humanly possible. I heard there's a contest in Rolling Stone where the winner gets to take 50 of their friends to a midnight showing of the film on a screen set up right next to the cabin where the footage was found. As Nickie said "I will say nothing" except that if this doesn't sound like a recipe for casualties I don't know what does. To clue some people in: In 1994 three students from the University of Maryland went on an expedition to Burkitsville, MD to film a documentary about the legend of a witch who haunted the woods. It seems that ever since the 1780s (and even up to the 1940s) people have been turning up totally disembowled and have been getting offed out of the blue. The students arrived, interviewed some people, shot some film, then rented a cabin in the woods to rest for the night before beginning again the next day. They were never heard from again. A few months later some investigators found their film buried under the floor of the cabin and eventually it was turned into the movie "The Blair Witch Project," which hits US theatres tommorrow. Supposedly the MPAA is trying to get the film banned because even though theres no blood or gore in the movie, and as far as I know no deaths are filmed, people are still leaving theatres in a state of severe shock or something. Yawn. Anyway...how have the Looper shows been out West? The DC show is in one week exactly so the capital of this fair nation has been abuzz with a love of cheezy synths and rotating sculptures...yeah right.

Sinister: living la vida croak-a
by nickie 15 Jul '99

*cough* *wheeze* i am on my second day off of work sick...this means that i have a day off from champagne receptions and fashion shoots and have time to write in. got sent home yesterday for hawking all over my co-workers (don't mind them, they loved it). so i left after a few minutes and went shopping - because after all, a girl is never to sick to go shopping To those who've been slagging off Electronic Rennaissance, you just don't understand it...go now, put it on, stand in front of your mirror, body-pop for half an hour, and then - only then - will your truly *understand* at last a song that fuses the electrowizardry and genius of Jean Michel Jarre and the Dr. Who theme. ever since i first heard it i've been wearing side pony's and ra-ra skirts. So nice to have a copy of Tigermilk where you don't feel like you're listening to it from the bottom of a swimming pool. i got my cd copy, and a friend of mine bought the vinyl "because her chest looks bigger on it". i will say nothing. that's about it for me, today. i grow weary of being sick. and i am bored. Oprah was good today though. it was all about medical breakthroughs and the best were a man who got frostbitten so that his nose disintegrated and they grew a new nose upside down on his forehead, and when it was fully formed they turned it upside down and sewed it on in the right place (complete with graphic video footage). there was also a man with a backwards hand. jenny jones was all about teen tramps. i love day-time tv. Plus, Paula Cullen, how could you say such cruel things about the 'face of feminism in the nineties' (TM) Allie McBeal. i watched the allie documentary *and* an episode of it last night. i also watch dawsons creek. i admit i've got a problem. nickie +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: I have seen your face but I don't recognize at all
by bkim0＠dept.english.upenn.edu 15 Jul '99

15 Jul '99

Like, I can totally hear him [Mick three times on the ceiling if you want me] going that: >me sound less dance and more brooding, dark-sounding, and oddly jangly >at times (see: Dreams Never End) which Electronic Renaissance is not. >Furthermore, there are like 3 synth parts on Electronic Renaissance! >Which is awesome, but I don't think even New Order did that, at least >not until their later days, if at all. If you listen carefully to the >new remastered version of Electronic Renaissance you can hear a tinkly >synth at certain intervals. Anyway, I guess there is a bit of New Order >in the song, but I'd say more of a Technique-era sound. Movement and >Power, Corruption & Lies are more guitar-based than Electronic >Renaissance. Yes, well, let me qualify my statements then. ER is strongly reminscent to me of "Procession" and it doesn't sound *exactly* like it...and no, it certainly doesn't sound like anything else from those early days but I'm not even sure why you brought *that* up...perhaps to make a nice segue into your essay on New Order?:) I'm just talking about the song "Procession" itself, nothing else, if it wasn't clear. And in the similarities I'm thinking more in the beat and the melody of the bass-lines and the general dominance of keyboards in both songs. I'm not sure what version you're thinking of, but the one I have on the second disc of _Substance 1987_ features some big-assed synths, very nice production and a backing female vocal. _Technique_ was a litle too electronically disco (lots of electronic percussion and special effects, etc.) I think to warrant comparison with ER (which is pretty simple by comparison esp. to something like "Round and Round" or even "Run" which has many guitar parts). Re: "tinkly synth" in remastered "Electronic Renaissance"...your point is...? NO did *tons* of layering, there is no way to argue that! They became very heavy on the multiple synth part even before _Technique_ I'd say. I mean, call me naive but the part right before the chorus on "Bizarre Love Triangle" with the big sweeping synth part could hardly be done with one hand alone...then a simpler synth part comes in during that. And then there was the synth-bass parts...and drum synths... Anyway Bri (and others), I never meant to come off as snooty like I knew New Order like nobody else did in comparing the songs...it was just my opinion that the two seemed similar. That's all. Just a passing thought that now has snowballed into almost a full-blown OT New Order thread. I think this is the first time I've actually posted to/read the list while listening to B&S...and the first time I've listened to _Tigermilk_ while reading it certainly! I hope I don't cause a tear in the space-time continuum...

Sinister: orphans
by Honey 15 Jul '99

15 Jul '99

Yes you'll be orphans for a bit next week I'm afraid - I'm being dragged off for a week of recuperation by the sea in Ireland like Victorian women did when they had the vapours. I'm off all week and back the following Tuesday so I'll wind up the Big List Spring tomorrow before I leave and hope it doesn't wind down before I get back. And I'm really sorry for the few mail messages still pending I haven't got to yet - I'm completely swamped to be honest. Anyway I've stocked the kitchen cupboards with food, and told the neighbours to check on you, so no wild parties, bed early and be good.

Sinister: Reykjavic?
by poetryplace2 15 Jul '99

15 Jul '99

Hello there I've haven't been round much recently, cos I've been moving and stuff. What a palaver! I've ended up living with Tim H. and Sez H., both of this parish, in a tall house with Canary Wharf looming on the horizon, lots of foxes all over the place, and, best of all, a local pub called "The Fitchetts". Anyways, now I'm back, I have a couple of things to say... WITH HAIRSTYLES THE SAME AS THE RICH AND THE FAMOUS Do you like good music? Sweet soul music? Well listen up, kiddiwinks: tomorrow night, Friday 16th July, the Poetry Café in Covent Garden, London brings you more stars than there are in heaven. First off the rank, and straight outta Sidmouth, are the near-mythical godfathers of P!O!P! The Visitors, featuring our own Tim Hopkins on vocal chores, hand-jiving and reggie toasting. Next up is Antipodean shantoozie, Kirsty Stegwazi, who you might know from her backing vocals on a record called "Boondoggle". Which was recorded by our headliners... the Lucksmiths! Still only £3. Doors open 7.30pm. Email me privately for directions etc. I WAS BORN THIS WAY, I HAD NO CHOICE / I WAS BORN WITH THE GIFT OF A GOLDEN VOICE "I could kill you, sure, but I could only make you cry with these words", said Stewpot Murdoch, the big sillybilly. But what are the words that make YOU cry? Or laugh? Or go "hmmmmm"? Hey? I'm editing a little book about pop lyrics to be published in October for National Poetry Day and I'm after people's thoughts on the subject. So if you have a favourite lyric, or songwriter, or whatever, drop me a line and tell me what you like and why. There'll be a webpage up next week at www.poetrysoc.com, but until then you can email me here (poetryplace2(a)easynet.co.uk) If you make it into the final book I'll send you a free copy when it comes out.

Despite the fact I am a big football fan, I would hope that B+S are not that bothered about football, especially not in the bigoted tribal warfare that is Rangers + Celtic. If any of them do support a football team I hope it's one of the smaller ones, like Stenhousemuir or Cowdenbeath (if only for the names) bye for now andrew (still Tigermilkless due to the scarcity of record shops near work) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
