Sinister: Edinburgh, Glasgow, September.
by Marianne Bratlie 08 Aug '99

08 Aug '99

hello list! I`m going away with my family for a weekend, ("...quality time with our children ladida"..., )..and my parents asked for suggestions for where to go. They don`t want to go to London, been there, done that, so I suggested Edinburgh, as I spent a week there in april and thought it was a lovely place, I considered Glasgow as well, but I believe Edinburgh is more suited for parents. ( If what I have heard, and my impression is correct,then Edinburgh is the most beautifull city, but Glasgow most fun for students ...?I don`t know. What do you people say?) .,,anyway, I was wondering if someone could give me a couple of words regarding where to go and what to see. I`m not talking Edinburgh castle and so on, I mean cafè`s, record stores...anything worth seeing for an 18 year old (almost 19..., important to say that).(Not that the castle isn`t worth seeing, but I already have that kind of information) I mostly want to go to Glasgow, it`s possible I`ll make them go there instead, we`ll see.-so Glasgow tips is requested as well. And, it might have been nice to meet some sinister people...??? The date is the first weekend in september. ...hoping for reply...... take care marianne ______________________________________________________ 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: A question
by Jason Andreas 08 Aug '99

08 Aug '99

I remember hearing in the regional news about 4 months ago that a new FM radio station - Beat FM- had been awarded a franchise to broadcast in the Greater Glasgow area. Does anyone know what happened to it, as it was promoted as an alternative and rock music station. Beat FM, if you have any information, please let me know, then I'll need never tune in to Clyde 1 or Radio 1 ever again.

Sinister: suedehead
by Jason Scott 08 Aug '99

Greetings Sinisters! Jason here for post #2. Those following my life story will be pleased to know that everything is going well here in T.O., aside from the fact that I am working my arse off for far too long everyday as an office lackey in my new job. For those who know the area, it's located slightly to the left of Jane & Finch (yikes!). Hopefully the pay makes up for it. Although I've been told that everyone there, including me, gets paid ONCE A MONTH! I'm a bit stuck for cash because of that, so if there are any good folks OOt there, email me and I'll give you my bank # so you may make charity deposits at random will, thank you very much. I mean, who gets paid ONCE A MONTH? Offshore oil drillers? It's like a period or something. Except less red, more green. Er...nevermind. Anyone going to see Mogwai in T.O. ? Let me know. The Magnetic Fields are coming too, yeah? ******BELLE AND SEBASTIAN CONTENT***** My ex spent 2 months roaming the UK recently, but when I talked abOOt them, she said she'd never heard of them. That means youse sinisters across the pond aren't doing a good enough converting! =P ************************************** ...and now for something completely different... I live in a house with 2 very cool people I've known for 3 days only. I was using the computer in my roomie's room when I accidentaly kicked her diary/poetry book open to a page that caught my eye. Who could resist? I remember her saying she wrote poetry and such, and me being a celebrated former creative writing and english (me and the)major and all, just had to indulge. Do you think that's wrong? I mean, if there's something I don't want folks to see, then "I keep mine hidden". But the damn thing was out in middle of the floor. Perhaps she left it there on purpose, knowing full-well I use the room for the computer... So here is Jason's roomate's secret poetry selection of the day ...or J.R.S.P.S.O.T.D. Enjoy! "MY ASS" (by my roomate that I've known for 3 days, who smokes a LOT of dope, and supports the NDP.) Get your fucking foot out of my ass I don't need your guidance I don't need it I didn't ask for your opinion I don't want your answers I want to stare aimlessly at the stars And make a living doing it Get your hand off my back I don't need a fucking push I don't even want to hear your voice Shut up Fuck off Get your foot out of my ass, WORDS TO SHOUT. WORDS TO SCREAM. BUT NOT OUT LOUD *** What do you think? Here's what I say: Swear word rating: 4/5, Cheese (chick)factor: 3/5, Angry punk lyric posibility: 5/5. O.k. enough of that. I'm going to hell, but oh well. Stay tuned for the next installment of J.R.S.P.S.O.T.D. Maybe not. Oh, hey CHIGGER, South Park was indeed funny and crude... just how I like my women, by the way...=P Love to your pink bits, Jason D.

Sinister: GOOD TIMES ECLIPSE
by Magpie Jay 08 Aug '99

08 Aug '99

why is it the most mellow people are also the most unreliable ? As the result of such folk,I am supposed to meet a friend in Plymouth on Monday at 7.30 p.m. to see the eclipse, but as all trains and buses are booked to sardine dimensions, I am stranded in London. So if any sinister sirens are driving down south west on Monday with a spare seat please give me a call a.s.a.p.on 0181 8382377.(I cant get E Mail at present) Sorry to abuse the list in this way but I am getting desperate.

Sinister: soundman let me down again
by A. Memon 07 Aug '99

07 Aug '99

hello cuties, i've listened back to the tape of the vertical smile ) gig last thursday, and my fears were confirmed: the soundman was our 5th member for the night. not only did he confuse me to what sounds were emitted from the drums throughout the whole gig, but he also added lots of echo and effects to everyone else's voices and instruments...ok, so the guitarist used a lot of wah wah as (gorgeous) jeff told me, but not that much! and maybe it sounded ok to you out there, but the hideous drone from the drums he had for me was not at all what i play or what i wanted the drums to sound like. so for me, it was a messy muddy gig....but it happens. anyway, it was nice to see lots of faces from last saturday's picnic during the week - tim h!o!p!kins, (bobbed black hair) pam, and two others whose names are on my tongue but my tongue wont tell me. they were all at the smith garrett band's tuesday night gig at the lil backyard club. and thanks to arantxa, gorgeous jeff, new face kate (to me at least), a guy called legendary, (will?) debbie and drunken/dark matt (delete as applicable) for turning up on thursday. i pretended not be to nervous but i was cos i had a lot of people turn up who hadnt heard the band before, so their expectations played on my mind....no thanks to the soundman.... thanks also to pamela h. who plugged the gig on this list but couldnt go as she has a "prior engagement with some experimental disco goth metal opera at Dingwalls." pamela, there were plenty of goths in the crowd cos of dream city film club....dcfc didnt seem gothy, but you can never tell what goths are into. maybe adam ant? maybe buffalo springfield? maybe steps? who knows. as mentioned above, i met a girl called kate, and she writes for an online zine called kittencore: www.kittencore.co.uk she says she slagged off the belle and sebastian bowlie gig in a review, but you cant hate her for that cos she's too cute and likes yo la tengo. well, my next scheduled night out is at Mark's tigermilky extravaganza on Friday 13th upstairs at the garage. unless we're all blinded by the eclipse this wednesday, i hope to SEE you there. x x x a m o s PS alasdair writes funny things so i thought i'd give it a repeat on bbc2: Robin Redbreast (who is going to Bowlie#2, because I say so) said: > I dreamt that I was at Bowlie II, > although for some reason I was sleeping in a tent, and I was walking across > a field when suddenly I started being divebombed by a radio-controlled > aeroplane. It was like The Birds. Which is funny because I was once divebombed by Roger McGuinn, Chris Hillman, David Crosby, Gene Clark and Michael Clarke. amos writes in a copycat style: i went to see the pastels once and i couldnt believe just how juicy they really were.

Sinister: uncovering
by Archel1978＠aol.com 07 Aug '99

07 Aug '99

CAN'T BE ARSED TO DO ANY MORE HEADINGS i was listening to tigermilk while checking my email the the other day and aol has joanna lumley's voice when you sign on (or maybe it's just a personal fetish of my computer?) anyway, the effect of ms lumley's honey tones over the top of 'the state i am in' was quite interesting. i say a duet, now. speaking of covers (not me, other people), did anyone else hear travis covering 'baby one more time' by britney "glottal stop" spears on radio 1? very bizarre. i think that b&s should definitely cover 'love's got a hold on my heart' by steps in the near future, although they might have trouble conveying the depth of meaning. meanwhile steps could do 'slow graffiti'. you know how LLPJ has that line about 'you read in a book, that you got free in Boots'? well, i watched brief encounter on video last night and realised that celia johnson gets her books free in boots lending library. don't expect that's what the song means, but in any case i think it would be good if a library was still combined with Boots. 'the new catherine cookson and a pack of three, please'. millertime: trousers was in the guardian because he's just been made secretary general of NATO. either that or he was wheeled out to talk about poetry, i always get confused reading the papers. someone half offered me a job this morning, which is half a job offer more than i've had from anyone so far. i think i'm having an interview next week - god they're scary things, aren't they? my last one consisted of a brusque lady glancing through my cv and listing all the things i hadn't had experience of, so i'm thinking that maybe i haven't got that job. i've got millennium angst. i'm haunted by this feeling that i should be celebrating with every single one of my friends, but that's not going to happen as many of them are, or will be, out of the country and many others aren't on speaking terms, which doesn't make for a great party unless i can arrange a) satellite link-ups and b) a peace-keeping force (trousers?). so up until now my plans for the big night were to go to bed and wake up when it was safely january, or maybe even february, but i think i'd really quite like a sinister gathering. especially if it was in brighton. anyone got a big house? i'm going to go and get dressed now - i haven't felt sufficiently interested in the day to do so yet. (and no, this doesn't mean i'm naked, so you can stop retching now. although i must do an erica in reverse and say that while my picture looks blotchy and disturbingly large, i'm actually gorgeous.) luv archel xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: I'd love to stay here and be normal, but it's just so over-rated...
by Stuart Gardiner 07 Aug '99

07 Aug '99

Well, after 2 pleasant years, I'm leaving Sinister as of tomorrow (Cue cheers around the globe). If anyone fancies emailing me and keeping me up-to-date on the gossip, I will check my email occasionally when I'm out of the country. I may rejoin in a year or so, but B&S might not even be together by then, who knows what might happen. But I'm sure I'll see some of you again, drunk somewhere... (Incidentally, according to a survey published today, students at Cambridge University drink more alcohol than at any other uni in the country. Says it all really...) Happy second birthday to Sinister for the end of this month, and keep up the good work Paul! Right, I'm off to finish packing, and contemplate whether to spend my money on the new Salako album or the Elvis Costello best of (oh, and to listen to the football of course). I leave you with this thought: why does the world's biggest international ferry company, P&O, have it's headquarters in Geneva? Unsub......

Sinister: Could you love me if I were a leper?
by Arantxa Sanz 07 Aug '99

07 Aug '99

hello secret lemonade drinkers: ( I hope all of you drink lemonade at home, because I have never seen you doing such a thing in public) I am rather affected by Christa's last mail : she is scared of people with fungus in their toes.Then, if there are many people sharing her point of view, I have a rosy future as a terror movie star playing the monster role,not the screaming abundantly breasted blonde one, eh? My feet are absolutely horrible,but it is not my fault...My best friend says they look like a leper's ones! And she is allegedly my friend.I don't want to end my days in Bela Lugosi-style, sleeping in a baroque coffin, and thinking I am Dracula, please! On Alix being posh and enjoying Baxendale, Alix,darling, it would be fantastic if you write a letter to Fayed Senior and suggest they should play them on the designer's floor.I visited Harrods yesterday for first time and it was such a mystic experience, with Pet Shop Boys ('Domino Dancing') sounding while I had a look at those Prada's outfits. I nearly went bonkers and spent all my student's overdraft on some Cashmere, all under PSB's influence.Some music is particularly good for shopping.It makes you feel rich,somehow. I didn't really suggest any tribute album, just commented my ideas on a few songs that could be 'remodelled' and converted into a different (though pop, however) genre, but I am glad quite a few literate people have given an accurate response.Mick Mc Mick , who becomes Brian Pennington from 9 to 5,was totally right on two points: a) it is ridiculous to organize tributes to bands like The Cardigans (?) and b) Joy Division's one is among the best treated ones, and I also appreciate ' I am your fan', dedicated to Leonard Cohen. It is also ridiculous 'Shed Seven.Greatest hits' has ever been published.If they had chosen as a title 'Small hits', it could be understandable. Should I try to go and see that eclipse or not? I don't want the last day of my existence becoming Mad Max-4th Chapter: Four millions on the motorway and 35 degrees and no drinking water around.
