Sinister: Select review
by JJ 06 Jul '99

06 Jul '99

Don't know if anyone's mentioned it yet but Tigermilk is reviewed in this month's Select mag, plus a tiny weeny interview with Richard C and Stevie J (ie they asked them a couple of questions), there's a bit of one of Elish Hope's postings to this list quoted in the article. Anyway Roy Wilkinson gives it 5 out of 5 which isn't bad, really, and nowhere in the article does it appear to be condescending towards B&S fans which is most unusual. That's it really, who thinks it's going to do better than TBWTAS? I do. But I have been known to be wrong. Not often mind you.

Sinister: #6 on the anti-hit list
by Boost Ventilator 06 Jul '99

06 Jul '99

http://www.canoe.ca/JamMusicAntihit/jul06_anti.html BELLE AND SEBASTIAN "My Wandering Days Are Over" Finally available on CD, the debut by these critics' darlings is one of those fully formed pieces of work that will enthrall a handful and leave many more scratching their heads over all the fuss. Suffice to say, you shouldn't even give this a second thought unless you own at least one Nick Drake album.

Sinister: Sheesh

Maria Elia said: right? right? anyway... the music started to deteriorate into motown or something, but the highlight was definitely dancing to morrissey "Deteriorate into Motown"????!!!!! Ack!! I'm dying here....get me away...etc. I can certainly understand if you feel that Stax is the apex of soul but good Lord, when I was up in Boston and went to the local "mod night" at the Pill I was severely disappointed in the near-complete absence of soul and the overabundance of mainstream post-1985 Britpop. If we could trade Pill nights somehow I would gladly trade you, as mine seemed to deteriorate into Britpop even before I got there and then seemed to experience a little burp of pre-1970s soul (three whole songs, WOW thanks so much for music that actually forces you to shake that ass instead of the other way around), only to fall back again to Blur or Pulp or whatever. Not that there's anything inherently wrong with playing those groups but I felt bait-and-switched. Hang the DJ? Maybe lethal injection or something faster!!! No, seriously folks, I'm not wishing actual harm upon the DJs, maybe just their record collections... Gibby Smalls, I wish I could be up in Beantown for your own house party, as it sounds like you will have the indiepop collection from hell rocking. I'll put in a remote request for some Josef K..."Radio Drill Time"? (I'm in a Josek K phase right now, forgive me) There are so many pathways that lead to the heart, Xavier BXK M o t h e r , M a y bkim0(a)dept.english.upenn.edu I S l e e p http://www.english.upenn.edu/~bkim0 W i t h D a n g e r ?

Sinister: Boston, Pill, LOOPER PARTY.
by .gibby. 06 Jul '99

06 Jul '99

I actually used to work at the pill, though I did another thing there every saturday doing an obscure new wave, 80's pop night... (a bit too obscure as i was replaced a month ago in favor of "Oh Mickey-Your so fine" 80's top 40 music)... prior to that I worked the bar there, and hung out there since it started about 2 years ago. So theres a _LOT_ of bad blood between me and that place... I was going to do a Tigermilk re-release/Looper bash there, (as I'd done the moz-party's there before) but the owner called me up yesterday and yelled at me saying "I dont appreciate you telling people not to come to my club anymore, so screw your belle and sebastian party"... so screw him and his dingy downtown club-- here's the party scoop: Im doing the party at my house. It's a three story in Cambridge just outside Harvard Square, and I'll announce all the details after the weekend. Everyone on this list who can make it is invited, and It's going to be the weekend before the Looper show, just after the Tigermilk release. My friends and I will be spinning everything from cherry-red to factory to sarah to jeepster to 4ad etc etc.... if you'd like to help out, please get in touch! More details soon!! :) Marie-- I forgot what I was wearing... umm... well i'll say hi next time. Whoever is going to Marine Research tonight, I'll be wearing a white home-made heavenly t-shirt:):) i have a star on the right side of my neck. say hi!! :) --.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo. -- love<3gibby. >Well well, there seems to be much discussion about the Upstairs Lounge in >Boston floating around on the list today... > >How many of us are there in Boston?

Well well, there seems to be much discussion about the Upstairs Lounge in Boston floating around on the list today... How many of us are there in Boston? Enough for a picnic, a meeting maybe at the Pill? -Winifred -----Original Message----- From: .gibby.

Sinister: How much shit can I talk? Let's find out...

06 Jul '99

Gibby said: > > You're dead on there... I have this reoccuring dream about a girl that > im sure i've met before (but not quite) , and it's very vivid... and when i > wake from it i have this feeling in my stomach, this really hardcore loving > feeling that I have NEVER felt with another person.. (well maybe one).. so I > know Im capable of it. If I met a person that made me feel like that. wow. > (Is this pathetic... im in love with my imagination) Well if you're pathetic then I am too (yes, I know you already know that). I have had this kind of dream a couple of times and woken up with that feeling in the pit of my stomach, and for a second thought "wahey, I'm in love and everything's grand!" before realising that I am in fact, er, not. However, I also had a dream where I was fighting Batman. He chased me through my house and out into the garden, where I chucked smoke bombs at him while running round the whirlygig. I also had a dream once about a giant onion that lived in a lake, but that's another story. Oh, and Jim said: > i maintain i'm better out of goal than in, but i suppose > somebodys got to do it For everyone who didn't see Jim's goalkeeping performance at Bowlie, especially the penalty save and the "ye shall not pass me" display in the final, well it was quite majestic. So maybe if we all ask him nicely he'll do it again (as Donald Fagen and Walter Becker once said). All Tim's talk of celebrity poo reminded me of when I used to own a genuine David Bowie sample. It was quite good for the first few years, but after that continually changed colour and constitution, yet stank worse each time it did so. I eventually got rid of it by mashing it up and giving it to my old grandpa, telling him it was a banana that had gone a bit bad. What do you mean, cruel? He enjoyed it. Does anyone else think that Sesame Street is still incredible? I saw it the other day and was blown away by a spectactular version of "Some Enchanted Lunchtime" as perfromed by girl muppet and boy muppet in the school canteen. Also cookie monster (no relation) singing "You made me love you; me didn't want to do it..." to a picture of his favourite cookie was quite touching. Enough of me. Bye.

Sinister: oh dear, 'fraid this is quite boring....
by Paula Cullen 06 Jul '99

06 Jul '99

greetings pop pickers, with all this london picnic gossip being bandied about, i thought i'd take five minutes out of my hectic work schedule to spill the beans on the brighton, ahem, so - called "picnic" which took place the weekend before last. there were five of us present; me, richard healey and marcus omond from this list, sian from the jeepster list and my boyf, from the "advanced state of tardiness and laziness" list. probably. anyway, me and the boyf were 3 hours late (due to his "condition") so by the time WE got there the poor dears were half cut. we visited a number of hostelries before plumping for a nice, quiet pub where we could chat amongst ourselves. at no stage in the proceedings did we shout at and heckle other customers. oh no. and richard definetely DID NOT fall off the chair 3 times. the barmaid professed that she too, liked belle and sebastian. but i think she was just too afraid to disagree with us ;) the high point for me was passing the "urban records" olde recorde shoppe (yes, the one made famous by the video for 'phats & smalls' "turn around") and giving a bloody good rendition of the song outside, to the horror of richard and brendan. bizarrely enough, i was the most sober kid there (honest, guv'nor) till next time, paula cullen booze explosion booooze!!!! yeeeaaahh!!! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Swap you Kevin Keegan for Ian Rush...
by Alan Singfield 06 Jul '99

Hello chaps and chapesses, Thanks to the two of you who entered my LLPJ Karaoke Video Contest. I'm so glad someone entered; there was a horrible gap of a day when I thought "my god why did i post that; they must think i'm a right ninny". And just when I had got over the insecurity, I read Robin Stout's post and had to stifle my chuckles (since I was at my desk). Robin, if you come to A!T!P! I will have to present you with your prize of 3 dozen eggs in a suitably grand ceremony. I have taped last night's Radio 1 bowlie thingie. No !the! !kids! !are! !not! !alright! GITS! AND the tape turned over during LLPJ. DOUBLEGITS! (as far as the thread about lowercase letters goes, well I will never give up the shift key unless I find a way of typing the exclamation mark without it) Anyway I am willing to swap a tape of this for a tape of the BBC Scotland B&S "rockumentary" or anything else thats good. email me privately please. Spanners. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
