Sinister: I love it when we`re cruising to-gether
by Genevieve Wesley 14 Jul '99

14 Jul '99

Heloooo List, That poor soul Marcus`s post was very funny...now,I`m not laughing at your misfortunes in London,but I can just imagine all the incidents. Ok,in my village it must be population 100 or 200 or so,yes peacefull countryside,but one day (when I thought my brother was chasing me) a loud van drove up with heavy-metal music playing and threw a porn magazine at me. ("That`s a good way to pick up chicks!")At the time I was scared and ran all the way back home,but now I wish I had taken it (not to look at it silly,but to steal it from them)and spat on their van,like a tough woman.Or that fabulous "Next Karate Kid" sequence where the girl jumps up on the hood of the car in fabulous Flying Killer mode. Ah,the strange things,yes. I really dont know why I am so perky right now, I should be crying on the inside. I have come back from working it for days in the Gospel Tent.Rise up! I can`t stop clapping for Jesus and it`s really working the other family members nerves.But really...the Bluesfest was amazing..I saw Smokey Robinson and I still have the shivers...there`s just something SOMETHING about him! Hot Damn! He dances and he does that little teasey button thing (un-buttons one button at a time,very slowly) removes jacket,swings it around.And he coos to the audience. "Oh yes..sing it out cause you`re so beautiful" I couldn`t contain my yelps and shreiks,and a bitter old man warned me that "If you dont move Missy,I will move you." I could`ve rattled his lawn chair,but I have respect for my elders. (Right MOTHER? like the GOOD,OBDIENT daughter that I AM) Smokey also does "Feelgood" contests with the audience..."Alright,do you feel good? heh heh..ok ok..mmmmm yes" Eeep..you`ve all been out Tigermilking and..I feel guility.I`ve been sleeping around on Belle and Sebastian! Oh its true,its true.I came into the crowd early to catch Smokey,and wound up seeing this AMAZING blues guy,whom I`d never heard of before,but I`m like his biggest fan now. Bobby Rush. Does anyone else know anything about him? Why wasn`t I told about him before? He`s 64,he`s made like 250 albums(!)He was in the studios recording before my dad was even born.. and I just cant get over him. Ok,his lyrics aren`t as sensitive as Stuarts. (e.g "line up 35 women,I will make love to them all" "buttermilk bottom")What a performer though! This guy wears tight blue flares,HUGE glittering diamond belt and hawaiian shirt.He jumps into the audience,shakes (err,caresses?) your hand.I have been looking for real audio on him and all I could find was "I Need A Bed Partner".Help me. You know what`s eerie though? I was searching for information on his album "Lovin A Big Fat Woman" on the internet,and this came up instead:(im not joking,it really did come up instead) htttp://www.cyber-tec.com/roy/ Its like some thug sent by Stuart Murdoch to tell me to stop messing around in this blues nonsense.But it`s ok,we can ALL live in Utah together. There are 2 great new webpages out there...Good work Mick "Sexual Eyebrows" Cooke and Sleeka Sounds Corporation! I thouroughly enjoyed the Top 10`s (good choices by Chris Geddes) and of course, 70`s WHO which I know nothing about,but I`ve decided I`m going to hear this Sister Disco song.Anyways,let me tell you,I feel inspired. lovvvve, mrs genevieve david-rush-murdoch-cooke ______________________________________________________ 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: Tigermilk statue
by Alan Singfield 14 Jul '99

14 Jul '99

We should find a beech tree and carve "NC was here" on it (New Cd?). Then, on the branches, we can hang the cassettes, daisy chained by cutting the tape and tying it. Then if we can borrow a copy of the real (and now deflated in value) Tigermilk and stick it at the top of the tree, we will have a representation of the interconnectedness of the whole tigermilk thing. Around the sculpture, people can mingle by comparing the scratches and skips they have on their copies. It would be worth any statesman's money to hear the profound discussions that sometimes took place; "oh yes at the start of i could be dreaming it sounds like there's a bit of fluff on the needle" At the end of the ceremony, we can cut all the tapes down and give everyone theirs back, but with a little knot of someone elses copy on it. (A kind of blood brotherhood of bootleggers). Anyway, most sensible people will cut the tape in the middle of Electronic Renaiisance, so no damage done there. Tune in next time for more entertainment, !P!O!P! kids... Spanners. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Looper in-store in NYC @ Other Music, Tigermilk review, No-one's looking
by Brian Pennington 14 Jul '99

14 Jul '99

Hiya, Maybe I just didn't notice it/know about it, but I was surprised to find no one had mentioned this. I was even more surprised to find something of value in one of these mass mailouts. Not like the Parasol or Darla updates which have the things you can buy. But I digress: > Other Music News: > > Two big in-store performances are announced this week for our NYC-area > customers and those of you who might be in town on these days. Please > note that all of our in-stores are free of charge, but admission is > limited. Attendance at these two shows is expected to be large (a > mob-scene really), so arrive early to insure that you get in. > > SPAIN: Monday, July 19th at 8 p.m. > Performing in support of their brand new album "She Haunts My Dreams" > (see review below). > > LOOPER: Monday, July 26th at 8 p.m. > The bubbly electronic side project of Belle & Sebastian's Stuart David > and wife Karn Also there was a review of Tigermilk which I'll post... BELLE & SEBASTIAN "Tigermilk" (Matador/Jeepster/Electric Honey) CD/LP $11.99/$16.99 The long, long-awaited reissue of the now-legendary first album by Scotland's Belle & Sebastian demonstrates the kind of song writing magic that almost justifies the cult-like adoration they've received from their many fans. While the nay-sayers will grumble that they still don't "get it" (what's to "get" about perfectly realized pop with lyrical substance?), the converted will gladly put aside their nth generation tape copies for a chance to own this newly remastered version of an already classic LP. Let's be blunt here, "Tigermilk" is a much better record than Belle & Sebastian's latest, the slightly disappointing and uneven "The Boy With the Arab Strap". And it's arguably as good as "If You're Feeling Sinister," their second full-length. The difference is that on "Tigermilk", principal songwriter Stuart Murdoch is firmly in control. Here you won't find the flat-out embarrassment of "Seymour Stein" or "Chickfactor" that marred "Arab Strap" when other band members decided to contribute their own songs. Instead we're treated to some of the band's finest moments ever including the sublime "My Wandering Days Over". The trumpet solo on that one alone is worth the $12 price of admission. Sorry for the bad formatting. I got my CD from them yesterday, or rather Megan picked it up for me while I was at work. When I got it I thought TWATTYBUS was my fave. Not so sure now...but Tigermilk is definately my least fave as an album. As little as I like Chickfactor, I like You're Just a Baby even less. I'd say Tigermilk is the most uneven for me, contrary to this review, but also it contains some of the best songs. Anyway, just my two cents. With that I shall depart. Psst, this is my first post from work. No one's here to see me typing. Haha. I had a job at an office once, but all I ever did was sit around...

by rebelstrange＠ldd.net 14 Jul '99

14 Jul '99

hey all you wack-ass bee-atches, i was dismayed to find confusion about the diary nature of hte list. i'd have to say that the always gorgeous Mark summed it up rather well. i think it's nice that ppl feel comforted enough by the list to talk at ease about their lives. and *most* of us enjoy reading those little dramas about everyday. at least i do. adn BOO to anyone who doesn't (oh you knwo what i mean) and a double BOO! to Genteel Babes-bashers, for the 'Waves, as i'm sure the kids willb e calling them in the next issue of TeenStyleFascist, rool FO-Evah. and christa agrees with me, so NYAH NYAH!!! any ppl gonna be in DC for Looper or magnetic fields? it appears i shall be attending both soirees, along wiht my buxom floozy bandmate Christa (miss chaffinch if yer nasty), and xavier-- i will shout out a hearty hello if i see you there, and we will indeed party like it's 1999, behold, there will be much rejoicing, and Stephin will look upon it, and he will see that it IS good. gawd i'm so nervous about seeing stephin in the flesh.. i'm afraid he'll yell at me or something, or give me a dirty look like he gave teri. only i mourn for my partner in twee cryme, jess is unable to be there. *quiet sobbing is heard* i'll steal a lock of stephin's hair for you, dear. i'm glad someone is enjoying my romantic follies, or should i say pseudo-romantic. god i sound like an ass tonight, please forgive me. *ugh* i sound like such an imbecile, i swear i'm not as full of my bad self as i appear to be, i just have an over=tart tongue. maybe i will take some more photos of looper and MF's and have another web sight of pictures for the world to see. that would be lovely indeed. bless the beasts and children, LJ http://www.members.tripod.com/rebelstrange "Strong like a gorilla, yet soft and yielding like a NERF ball" SAVE MST3K!!!! http://www.mst3kinfo.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Q. Whats got three legs, five arms and sits up a tree dribbling?
by ScoDog1441＠aol.com 14 Jul '99

14 Jul '99

Answer at the bottom of this mail. Well my Sini's, i have hearby claimed the office record for the longest continued CD repeat, with Tigermilk having managed to take pride of place as our hold music for Friday, Monday, Tuesday and today. A grand total of, oooh, lots of days. God bless CD's. It means that i can again listen to said recording in the car for the first time since some very nice people 'borrowed' my car cassette player. for the 2nd time. With this facility in mind, i attempted to convert some more non-believers on Sunday with a four hour round trip from Milton Keynes to Stroud and that ol' repeat function turned on. Needless to say it didnt work and i had them begging for the top 40 all the way home. "Sorry, cant hear you in the back, the musics too loud" ahahaha. What else did i want to say. Oh yes, thanks to those who answered my request for sinister Blackpool ideas. Im playing there again this weekend and Sky Sports are recording, so i'll try and get a b&s t-shirt on to give you all a reason to stop watching MTV and start Scottydog spotting. Having been a bit liberal with the delete key, i cant remember who the said the following. To the person who said they'd been in the AOL music chat room: Dont go there (go to #sinister instead !). And to the person who mis-heard "The centre of my so called penis...": Keep on mis-hearing. And anyone who wants to know the answer to the subject line teaser can mail me.

Sinister: its just your imagination rolling over the past
by XbeambugX＠aol.com 14 Jul '99

my lovely sinister friends. ive crawled out from under my fingerpainting for the night just to share with you all. it takes much to pull me away from fingerpaints... so. yah. ill leave it at that. :) my foremost reason for posting this night is to make a plea for a glasgow meet-up in october. moving to the states some years ago, i am venturing back as i do every year. unlike most years, though, i will be amongst my family for the likeness of a month... and in the city no less. so i declare a meetup would really make me smile. if my aunt still has my goofy purple bike... ill be riding that about the town. i only hope the white basket on the handlebars with silly plastic flowers is still intact. i didnt order/buy/ listen (to) the "new" tigermilk yet. im so fond of my copy that i wish to not get a new one. i dont know. it feels too awkward. it makes me feel.... olde. erm, well, something along those lines. change and i, we dont get along too well at times. fountainhead mentioned [ohh how i love the ayn rand]: my dear, you are not alone. i despise the heat. it makes me cranky. generally, im quite nice. but get me in the hot sun and i become oh.... well... not so nice. and who DOES get tan anymore?? oh the sun is just evil. i would rather wear sweaters all summer. and shorts... i own none. is this too much information? perhaps. justin w.[of felonius monk fame] asked for other oklahoma-sinsterines. im not one. but i do live in ohio. well, thats far away from oklahoma. but are their any other sinister kids in ohio? im willing to bet not. but we shall see.... well... miss marie is here in spirit! arent you, dear? i have this tradition, every night that the stars [in the sky] are visible. i sit outside and gaze up and name them... sometimes goofy names, sometimes friends names.... oh you know. just names. some i see often, like the star i named "rosie" [who bears the same name as my car... bless her]. and some i dont... like "beauford." he doesnt come out much. i found it odd tonight because i am losing track of where my stars reside. (so ive been doing this for years, obviously. should i be seeking professional help?) alright. my fingerpaints are calling for me. i just must finish this last piece.... loves. amanda. *where always its Spring) and everyones in love and flowers pick themselves.* ---e.e.cummings +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: fitter happier and more productive
by fountainhead 13 Jul '99

13 Jul '99

hello isn't it hot at the moment? too hot, actually. whenever we used to get sunny days on holiday in ireland i would always sit inside to read. it was nicer there. everyone called me a vampire though. maybe i am. i hate it when it's too hot. maybe i'm just bitter because i don't tan [white-red-white] but whenever it was hot outside, it would always be really cool in the house. so i would stand by the window and look out over the bay. there's this little island out there called 'mutton island' nobody lives there, but there's an old ruin of a castle on it. i looked over at that place for seventeen or eighteen years, without ever being able to go. my mum had done the same for forty-five years. then one day we went over. some fishermen took us over in their boats in the morning, and collected us in the evening. that was one of the hottest days ever. but, oddly, i didn't mind being outside all day. it was so clean and quiet over there. we found a huge rock pool that we could swim in, it was like something you only see on a distant paradise. but there it was, on a little island, by a little ireland. we had our picnic on the rocks and i listened to rem on my personal stereo (this was pre b&s, for me anyway). it was a special day. forgive me. i'm wandering again. i've just been looking at everyone's pictures on the sinister page. f. -- http://fly.to/fountain +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
