Sinister: 2 questions regarding possible B&S related releases
by OLDSCHREC＠aol.com 19 Aug '99

19 Aug '99

Matador is issuing a 3 CD set on the 14th of September in the states called "Everything Is Nice" that will include B&S. The first two discs are previously released trax and the third boasts all unreleased trax. Does anyone know what B&S track or trax will appear and I do hope an unreleased number? Question #2: I know the band was unhappy with their Sessions at West 54th but there is a disc due on the 19th of October on the Sony/Legacy label here in the states. Since their performance never aired I'm sure they won't be on the record but one can always hope?

Sinister: Spanking oneself to the point of tears
by Burke, Jeffrey 19 Aug '99

19 Aug '99

Let's see..... RODAN is the biggest. They made one record. spawned 18,038,938 bands and every indie person in the US loves them (myself inclusive...) Slint is the other band..said to inspire rodan...but they put out three records...very early "post rock" whatever THAT label means...... The Vaselines? Over here they didn't get ANY attenion... the short lived Captain America? Ani Difranco has a truly (frightening) cultish following but she's fairly popular isn't she? Mission of Burma are the best band to ever come out of boston... (and I include the pixies as a boston band) and they're relatively unpraised... The Grifters have been doing their thing for a long long time.... Yo La Tengo too....... I've always though Ned's Atomic Dustbin deserved more attenion...:) > > I am going to start my radio show soon and perhaps you could all > help > me. > > Its going to be a cult classics show, you know, music that never > really > > made it big but has a cult following ( or should have one).

Sinister: Townie Party
by Chris Jones 19 Aug '99

19 Aug '99

chris.jones(a)saqnet.co.uk Erica, what exactly is a 'townie party'? I am obviously very innocent and naive when it comes to this sort of thing as I live in the middle of the sleepy countryside. I don't think I can have been to a townie party as I don't know many townies. Actually, a townie party sounds quite scary to me. I'll stick with my quiet local where I know people.

Sinister: Sinissster:I will follow
by Kt788＠aol.com 19 Aug '99

19 Aug '99

My aunts were high school english teachers who used to dump all kinds of boxes and boxes of old books on me and I'd always have a new book to read. Well I vaguely remember two books from my youth that talk about Tigermilk the drink. In one a girl sees it in a gourmet food shop and thinks it's strange and thinks about tigers getting milked and stuff and in the other the boy in the story has a mother who made herself a glass of tigermilk every morning, which he found a bit repulsive. Apparantly it's made with milk and raw eggs and other stuff. These books were from the 70's or 60's, so I don't think the drink exists anymore. At least nt around here. I am going to start my radio show soon and perhaps you could all help me. Its going to be a cult classics show, you know, music that never really made it big but has a cult following ( or should have one). If anyone knows of any really super music new or old, that would fit in this category, please mail me, that would be so nice, and let me know what people are missing. you know i love you... +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: op me or i'll murder you
by Honey 19 Aug '99

19 Aug '99

OK first off, I see we have a new listee in the nursery called Honey. Welcome little Honey! It's all very spooky and I bet it's one of you lot sniggering behind the bikesheds, but this Honey's email address is "honey(a)sinister.co.uk", which is NOT THE SAME as mine, although s/he's very welcome. Mine is "honey(a)majordomo.net", you can remember it because it's the same domain as the list address. Nursery Honey's is "honey(a)sinister.co.uk". Mine is "honey(a)majordomo.net". Got that? Good. Starry Sarah, Unix Solaris servers are indeed very like cake. Actually I got a phone call from Starry's MOBILE this morning telling me her A level results - the phone was literally jumping up and down. Suffice to say Starry is now The Sinister Swot and will do all your homework on request. Electronic Renaissance indeed. Ailsa, my joint favourite listee who's name begins with "A" and ends in "a" along with Arantxa and the departed AYA, wrote this: "can I be Honey for a moment and suggest you look in the archives for these things? No? Oh well, I'm sure he may pop in and say it himself soon." Anyone can be Honey as demonstrated above. Yes Ailsa you can be Honey, and then I'll be Honey again for a bit and say YES please do use the archives. Actually lots of you do :) But the search engine is very stable now and "just works" - you can search for anything over the .. blimey 2 years!.. this list's been going. You can even use the archives to look up when I've last suggested people use the archives. And pretty soon you'll be able to look up when I last suggested looking up to see when I last suggested using the archives. Anyway I owe Ailsa a few favours as I took ages to put her Bowlie photos on the WWW site, so being Honey For A Day will be one of them. That's right - 2 years in a week's time - you're all mad. What will we do on 27th August to celebrate please? Oh and Jason's dead right about the newsgroup: Phil and Andy who set it up have an admirable attitude towards how it and Sinister fit together and I can't see the problem - people go where they most feel at home. There have been a couple of odd comments on there recently, but remember that every community consists of lots of people. Mind you Jason, I haven't seen anyone slagging off the newsgroup here anyway, which is nice. Don't please, it'll work out best in the long run. Ta :) - IRC chat - If you don't use and don't intend to join the chat channel "#sinister" ever, swerve to avoid this bit now. If you want to find out how to join in, see the Sinister WWW page in the footer. If you're bonkers, read on. Our channel on Undernet has now become "official" and providing a load of sinister goths don't complain the the Undernet gods that they are more sinister than us, it's where we will stay. You'll know it's official because most times, except when she's in a sulk, there's a channel robot called "W" there - you can call her Wendy. Wendy's the maid and generally cleans things up, a bit like the nice lady on the Ajax ad. Tim Hopkins keeps calling her "slut", but when the two of them are alone he whispers sweet nothings to her and tickles her robotic robot bottom. He gets very lonely in there all day on his own. In order to keep the channel sane, we need some "ops" - people with an "@" sign in front of their names who learn how to look after things a little. The "ideal candidate" will posses a brainless devotion to reading boring over-complicated instructions from me without moaning, and will spend far too long online. The balance is between having enough to cover, and not too many so it isn't intimidating, like bikers standing around at the bar. I reckon we need a dozen, so I'm mailing all the original ops I can remember (mail me if you don't hear from me) and adding a couple of people to cover for now. Anyone who's a very regular chatter is invited to suggest to me who else should be one. Lulou tells me this is Eurovision Song Contest style voting. You're not allowed to vote for yourself, or anyone you've exchanged bodily fluids with, and the criteria for your chosen op(s) should be: (1) they're on IRC *much* too long for their own good (I mean, like seriously on almost every day for ages, til they don't know what day it is), and (2) they've told YOU they'd be happy to take it on. Please don't go suggesting people you haven't checked this with first, as it does entail a bit of learning, and it's a bit dull. And if you're volunteering to someone, make sure you really want to do it and are prepared to do a bit of reading. You vote by coming to find me on IRC at UK evening times, NOT by emailing me please - it proves your devotion to the cause. :) I'd beg people to be sensible about all this ops stuff, because some people have shown a tendency to feel left out if they don't get ops and put on a pouty face: being an op ISN'T A SIGN OF FLIPPIN PRIVILEGE! On the contrary it probably means you're on your way to blindness, either because you stare at the screen far too long, or you spend too long in *those* channels. If anyone wants to do the job, they're expected to learn the ropes, and they're expected to have been around on #sinister for ages already and connect most days for unfeasibly long periods of time. Anyway I'll pick the top 5 voted for in the next week, with the proviso that they're on IRC *all the time* and that there's a good spread geographically. School maam paragraph ends. Has anyone taken chinese medicine? Apparently it's all to do with my spleen and my internal dampness. Tastes like cold curry powder. Yuck.

Sinister: At Last - A Band!!
by Ian McKinney 19 Aug '99

19 Aug '99

Arab Strap are playing in Belfast on the 2nd of September in the Empire. Aaaahhh.... No decent band has played here in years, what a treat! Understandable really, when you consider that the car of choice here is a white Nova with oversized exhaust, and 10 year old boys arm themselves with baseball bats wrapped in barbed wire (true!). Not exactly a fertile breeding ground for good indie shows. Yet Arab strap are indeed coming, and seeing as I live literally 100 yards from the Empire, if anybody on the list is going to this show, why not drop in beforehand for some beer/cider/buckfast/whatever? Drop me a line....

Re: Sinister: When Stuart destroyed everything
by Jygsaw18＠aol.com 19 Aug '99

19 Aug '99

This is my attempt at a little story about the cybernetic adventures of Struan. Let's see if I can manage to work in lisping, Stephen Pastel cursing, and Giant Robots. Stephen Pastel was trudging home, fresh wee from the little fox trickling down the leg of his trousers. As you may have guessed, he was cursing horribly. Mothers were pulling their children indoors to prevent the tots from being polluted. The air was thick with cruel intent. Then, who should appear but the little fox again "Pawdon me, stephen. I just wemembewed that you have a cewebrity shit I'd wike to acqwiwe. " Stephen Pastel's eyes flashed. He muttered dire imprecations. His hands formed claws and he reached for the little fox. The fox darted out of his reach "I'm sowwy for trying to convewt you to the Army of the Lord, and for weeing on your weg. Now wiww you pwease give me the Petwified Poop of Yuw Bwynnew?" * Stephen was so angry he leapt up and down, causing huge cracks in the pavement. The fox scurried away, mad as hops. Stephen swore he would catch the little fox and rip him to tiny bits. The fox trotted away, eyes burning with anger. He desperately wanted Yul Brynner's feces, having watched Westworld for the 19th time the night before. "How to twick that bastawd into giving it away?" he thought. "Pewhaps if I had some sowt of giant wobot?" Then an idea came to him. What about that redheaded fellow he'd seen smashing his guitar on stage? He was supposed to be sensitive and shy, and therefore could be bent to the will of the little fox with ease. The fox scampered off to the home of one S. Murdoch. Several days later, a Giant Robot was seen terrorizing the neighborhood of Stephen Pastel. It would tear the roof off of a house, peer inside, then march to the next house. The citizens were in a panic, each one fearing for their collection of china teacups. Several people reported a fox running through the wreckage, cackling madly and lisping. The police chalked it up to a glue-sniffing epidemic. Meanwhile, Stephen Pastel was hiding at his uncle's house and wearing a false mustache. He would have been terrified of the monster if he wasn't too busy grinding his teeth into powder. His obviously false mustache flapped with each gust of curses that sprayed from his mouth. His uncle sat beside him on the couch, chainsmoking and trying to think of a plan. Uncle Stan flipped on the television, in the hope of distracting Stephen from cursing constantly. What should appear on the screen but an old monster movie! "Orrrr, gorblimey, oi have an oidea, nephew mine!" squawked uncle Stan. Uncle stan used his seedy underworld connections to recruit Roger Daltrey, Rod Stewart and Eric Clapton for a dynamic trio. His plan was to assault the Giant Robot with some of rock's biggest dinosaurs. With their ponderous bulk, Uncle Stan figured the Giant Robot had no chance. The showdown occurred conveniently in a place with lots of buildings to smash. Eric Clapton charged forward. But the fox tripped him up and the Giant Robot stamped in the back of his head "How do you wike that, Mr. Cwapton! Say hewwo to your son at the Peawly Gates!" sang the fox, and he danced back and forth. Next came Rod Stewart. But the Giant Robot sang at such a high pitch that Rod's dual hearing aids exploded, and he fell to the ground. The fox cheered "Handbags and Gwadwags, my ass! That's what you get for weaving Wachael Huntew!" Uncle Stan began to tremble. Only Roger Daltrey was left. Could he destroy the Giant Robot? Slowly, Daltrey moved forward. He could see the wreckage of his companions. His eyes flashed with righteous indignation. The little fox ran forward, trying to trip him. But Roger was too quick. He trampled the little fox into the ground " Oh Woger! I do bewieve I've bwoken my back!" moaned the little fox. "Pwease don't huwt the Giant Wobot, since he's good at heart. I compelled him to destroy things for me.": Roger realised the truth of the little fox's words, and in a convenient plot device, immobilized the Giant Robot with his flowing locks. Struan was freed from the cockpit, and returned home. But he never forgot the kindness of one of rock's most massive dinosaurs. Lying on his bed at night, he would pray to Angus Young fhat one day he too could be as great as "that fewwow wif the wong haiw fwom the WHO" (for he had vowed never to take the name Woger in vain) The fox survived, but was confined to a wheelchair for quite some time. Stephen Pastel went home and burned his collection of celebrity shite, for it had caused him so much trouble The neighbors were disgusted by the smell.
