Sinister: Glasgow: you almost certainly won't get glassed there

I can't speak for your London friend, but I am an American who has been to Glasgow twice in the past few years, and I'm married to an American who spent a semester studying at the uni. I can tell you that every Glaswegian I've ever met has been nothing less than friendly and hospitable. And I've never felt intimidated walking around the city, though as with every metropolis, there are certain parts of town you'll want to avoid (you certainly wouldn't catch me in a dark alley in the Gorbals). In many ways, I find Glasgow to be a more welcoming city than Edinburgh or London. It would be a shame if you missed out on visiting such a fine place because some Londoner tried to scare you out of it :). mike ciflux(a)aol.com honeymoon photos from Glasgow: http://www.geocities.com/FashionAvenue/Salon/6920/honeymoon.htm +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: beers, lies and irrelevance
by Martin Robinson 12 Aug '99

12 Aug '99

Hello nice people, Apparently coherence and relevance is the new rock 'n' roll. Me, I've always been a bit folk. Can I mention Ms. Rusby again? Anyway, I'm looking forward to the autumnal meet up in Richmond Park South West London that Theresa mentioned (sorry about your dog too, my cat Dennis had to be put down last year and he was my best friend for close to 20 years so I definitely know how you feel). Richmond's great, mainly because I'm an idle git that loves not having to go far from the insecurity of his own abode. Can I also emphasis Erica's sentiment's about going to Tigermilking in London town and not knowing anyone? As I'm going with my friend Vince who mentions fridges every two minutes and anyone who can distract me from this conversation however briefly is a friend in deed (and he fell asleep under a chair last time). Please feel free to email me too to say hello there if you find the bikini topless Erica too forward. And also I would like to send all my love and hugs to the wonderful people of Toronto as I think you're all fantastic. No one from the New York area or Boston was remotely sensitive to my travelling inexperience to your wonderful cities. Maybe I'll just stay in and read that Camus bloke too as I won't know the lay of the land. I've still got The First Man to read and hopefully I won't finish reading it like he didn't finish writing it. But if the good citizens of New York and Boston don't inform me better that's what I'll be doing. Ho hum. Back to being very Anglo-centric. Did anyone see those BBC2 programmes on Neitzsche and J-P Sartré? Weren't they fabulous? Sartré's Nausea is one my favourite books. I don't know about you but I still remember Anny. Anyway, I've just been down the pub as it someones birthday and I think I'm going back down there now. Work is just a minor distraction I try my best not to get involved with. I'm really sorry for disturbing everyone in my slightly inebriated site. And I'm bloody 129th on the List Crush site! I bought a lot of beers for votes recently and none of them have paid of. Admittedly that's immoral folks but it doesn't seen to work anyway. Just a warning. B & S content well I'd like to add that... actually I better go as it's probably my round.

Sinister: I give you hundred dollars for de women
by John Mahoney 12 Aug '99

12 Aug '99

Did anyone hear Hefner on John Peel? How was it? I just recently listened to them from a couple of tracks put on a tape kindly by a fellow listee (Hymn for the Cigarettes is awesome). If anyone happened to tape it and would like to trade it, let me know. I have a few things to offer anyone in return. Check out my site below.

Sinister: Head like a pretzel, salty and twisted
by Reid Dossinger 12 Aug '99

12 Aug '99

Oh, it was horrible. There I was, thrown in the nursery with the other newcomers, banging against the bars with a tin can and screaming, "You don't understand!! I don't belong in here!! Do you know who I AM?!! This must be some kind of mistake!" But, long story short, I'm out now, rejoined the list. I'm sure a couple of you remember me. Well, maybe "remember" isn't quite right. It's probably more like an unexplainable bitter taste and accompanying nausea brought in a jolt by the sight of my name. Don't worry. My Dad says you learn to live with it. So I find Sinister in about the same condition as it was when I left it, which is good. I won't have to charge any damage fees. I'm a little concerned to see that people still write "B&S content? Um..." at the end of their messages as though discussing B&S is torture. It's a shame. A damn shame. Of course, I could talk about them for hours, and I often do. And on that note, why is everyone talking about there being nothing going on in Belle and Sebastian land? Plenty to talk about (for me, anyway, being out of Sinister action): - I love both the Looper and the Gentle Waves albums. StuartD and Isobel's stuff sound so much better removed from the context of Belle and Sebastian. I'd probably really enjoy Stevie solo album, too. Actually, now that I think about it, I'd like it a lot. - I'm sure this is blasphemy to some people, but Tigermilk is a perfect CD album. I love listening to it with headphones on, picking out all the (incredible) individual parts. As my friend Christian always says, "I hope that everyone who worked on that album got a good grade." - So once again, Jeepster has toyed with our emotions. Now, I laughed when I saw on the Jeepster site that the new album was going to be out "in late summer." Who did they think they were fooling? But still, it bothered me. Just take when the band *thinks* it's going be done, add six months, and if they get it done on time, it'll just be a great suprise for all of us. But I'm trying to brace myself for months of the new album being pushed back again and again. Honestly, I'll be surprised if we get it before next summer. - B&S have always been a comfort to me, but their music (esp. Tigermilk) has been nothing short of a big tuneful security blanket in these post-Woodstock days. I watch Kid Rock and Korn and Limp Bizkit ride the charts and all I want to do is hide in a corner with "She's Losing It" on repeat play. B&S sound like the way the world should be. None of this rape-inciting, violent music (hate) played by little boys who fool themselves into thinking that music doesn't affect. Okay, that's enough... Um, this being a "I'm back" post, I guess I should mention that I had to leave my beloved North Carolina for the more promising land of Our Nation's Capital (that would be my nation, not necessarily yours), a place with everything but sweet tea. But just because I left NC doesn't mean I'm going to let you people start bad-mouthing it again. I'll let Laura Llew fly the "Proud to be a Carolinian" banner. She does a damn fine job of it. So this being a post to Sinister, I now have to end with the obligatory "Oh, enough of my rambling / this is so pointless / I'm only writing this 'cause I'm bored," even though not a bit of that's true. But I'm a play-by-the-rules kind of guy. Actually, that's not really true either.

Sinister: The Exploding Plastic Enevitable
by Darren Savage 12 Aug '99

12 Aug '99

Hello Do you know I rather like the latest Electronic album. I hope to hell Marr hasn't joined Oasis, I'd be so dissapointed in him, especially as I wanted him to join my bank. Every day I wake up I remember that I'm not a critically acclaimed pop and get terribly annoyed. It's not a very good way to start the day and I usually find the only way of dealing with the situation is to eat an entire cheesecake for breakfast, lemon seems to work best. Anyway I reasoned that if I could get Johnny on board I would be set for stardom. Admittedly his post Smith work has been a little patchy in places but he's still a brilliant musician and seemed a really decent fellow when I met him a couple of years ago. Anyway if he does join Oasis maybe he could organise a revolt and install me as their front man, that would work for me.

Sinister: J'en Ai Marre
by b j 12 Aug '99

12 Aug '99

Paul McCartney once said that you can't reheat a soufflé. He should know. He used to be married to a noted cook. Nonetheless, I'm about to 'reheat' (repeat) the following 'soufflé' (reflections). Apology to anyone who's 'eaten' (heard) them already. This 'Marr For Oasis' rumour. 1. It's not true, right? 2. But if it is, will he retrieve his guitars from Gallagher? I mean, he'll have to have *something* to play. It's always annoyed me that he gave him the ones - or was it only one? - on which he wrote 'How Soon Is Now' and 'Panic'. 3. He ought to improve Oasis. But if he comes in wearing his Electronic hat, he'll actually manage to make them worse. 4. Does this leave a new niche for all the New Johnny Marrs out there? If so, it's time for them to seize the opportunity and start to spend a period of several years not making records, not coming up with original ideas, not playing guitar much (but playing some average bass), and denying claims that they're imminently returning to work with their old sparring partners. Could be exciting times in prospect for thousands of us. ______________________________________________________ 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: i was out all day and got chapped lips
by Archel1978＠aol.com 12 Aug '99

12 Aug '99

well, i bought 'the green fields of foreverland' yesterday and was listening to it at bagpuss boy's house when his EIGHT year old sister suddenly piped up: "what IS this terrible music?" poor isobel, forever dogged by criticism. still, i rather like it. that melancholy country music vibe on 'renew and restore' is lovely, and struan's appearance on 'a chapter in the life of mathiew' was a charming surprise. i was quite shocked by the rawkiness of 'weathershow' though. there, that was my review - several months out of date but never mind. to celebrate surviving the eclipse (we were on top of a hill, it got slightly darker and quite chilly and some people chanted) bagpuss boy and i went cd shopping for the whole afternoon. he bought 3...6...9 on my insistence, er i mean impartial advice. i bought 'the fidelity wars' as well as 'the green fields' and it's very good. (but in parts sounds a bit like the longpigs - yawn.) i also discovered that they now have volleyball and basketball courts on brighton seafront which was exciting - maybe we could have a sinister match one day. i suggest this as an alternative to football, which i'm not very good at. small children can beat me. then in the evening bagpuss boy played some mogwai for me and i'm afraid to say it made me fall asleep. mr burke - don't feel bad about your name. there have been lots of distinguished burkes in british history, including edmund who was an advocate of tolerance and freedom in the 18th c. until the french revolution came along and turned him into a raving reactionary idiot. so, a good role model there... lovely to have erica back. i do hope you weren't *wearing* your bikini top when it was ripped away by the wind into the cruel jaws of an austrian hound. possibly see some of you tomorrow... archel xxx ***** archel(a)iname.com http://members.tripod.com/~RPlayforth/welcome.htm +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Just a quick comment: Johan Nilsson said this: >>Does anyone know anything of the circumstances surrounding Jeff >Buckley's >>death a few years back. I know he drowned and all that >but someone >>recently told me that he read that it was intentional, >and therefore a >>suicide. He said he read an interview with the guy >who accompanied Jeff >>to the river that night and supposedly the guy >said Jeff started singing >>at the top of his lungs and just walked >right into the river and never >>stopped until the water got over his >head and he drowned. The autopsy >>showed Jeff was cold sober so I'm >not sure what to think.> Haha I say. Every time someone famous dies theres always at least 10000000000000000000 different theories/stories about how and why and who and what else youve got. If I'd say I was there with Freddie Mercury when he died, when he swallowed pigeons and when their feathers destroyd all his vital organs, there'd always be one sucker who would believe it and tell it to someone who'd believe it and... And by the end of the month, I'd be on the cover of Newsweek telling my story. Thats it. @--->-- Jace ______________________________________________________ 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".

Drakes... The Nick Drake debut album was 'Five Leaves Left' after that bit of card you get in cigarette papers reminding you to get some more... The Kings of Convenience are indeed a very fine band - does anyone have a contact no for them ? Further ecilpse casulaties continue to pour in - both Ben and Jason and Shack cancelled their shows last night at the last minute...humph A reminder to those in the Old Street area Strange Fruit now run a regular club around those parts...
