Sinister: Blah.
by SSharp5210＠aol.com 06 Aug '99

Hi poppies. The trouble with buying a flat is that it leaves you zilch cash.It's friday night and yet I find myself sitting reading the mis-adventures of various sinistery people.The only thing keeping me going is finding not very amusing corruptions of Dastoor's name. I quite enjoyed "Das Boot" but much prefer Nick Dastardley and Muttley.Blah blah.I'm bored.Can I come around to anyone's house and play? Steve S xx. p.s dear sweet deluded Cookie,just saying "Treble" hardly refutes allegations of soap-dodging.I will however steal "Steve Sharp tongue" as a name.Cheers hunboy!! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: A sensible post
by Chris Jones 06 Aug '99

06 Aug '99

chris.jones(a)saqnet.co.uk Are there going to be any more picnics in London in the next four weeks? I missed the first one (sorry Becka) and then I also missed the second one. Unfortunately this uncharacteristic consistency means I have never met any of you! Other bands like B&S. Are there any. There are mentions of Nick Drake, so I got a CD out from the library. It was nothing like B&S and it al sounded the same. There is often talk of the Field Mice and the Go-Betweens and the Pastels. Can anyone tell me what these bands are like, because I desperately want to find another band to like. Also, I appologise for being in 1996. I do know. Chris Jones. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Tonight I Celebrate My Love For You
by PJMiller 06 Aug '99

06 Aug '99

I've been looking at some photos on Paul's FHC hosted website. What can I say? Heavenly creatures, the lot of you. Some of you are almost exactly as I had imagined, some of you are completely different, and some of you are quite a bit older than I thought you were. And some of you are less blond. And one of you has lost their trademark spectacles. And some of you can't point a camera straight because you're too sozzled. Macka B. Who likes Macka B? My local head store has just received a huge shipment of Macka B goodies, and I quite like the song I've heard ("Squeeze Me", in which he claims to be a big teddy bear) so I thought I'd check out the masses of Macka B information on the web. But there was hardly any. But I did find out that Macka B used to appear on a weekly television programme in the Midlands (the best place in the world) and had to come up with a little song / stroke / dj rap thing about the week's events, presumably in the Midlands. Fantastic! Does anyone remember this programme? What was it? I bet it was that thing Rusty Lee used to be on. Not "Midlands Today", the other one. That song Tim mentioned the Tindersticks doing, "If You're Looking For a Way Out", that was the kind of song that used to suddenly plunge us into depths of despair during the Sunday afternoon hit parade rundown, subtely turning our thoughts towards double maths in the morning. This is Sister Disco's poignant thought for the day. I think it needs a bit of work. Great song though. Terrific. Apologies to South East Asia. It's a bigger flood than I thought. There were loads of lesbians at the Pyrenees music festival, they'd come to see Daudé, a Brazilian bird who has two fantastic backing singers/dancers. You should go and see them if you get chance, it's top entertainment. They've been shopping in the latin beats aisle, just like Ricky Martin, only sexier and the nipples are bigger. Ernest Ranglin was cancelled, so was Toumani Diabate, so all in all it was a bit shit. Good place though, high up. There were Pyrenean mountain dogs too. I knew I'd get some B&S content in eventually. Who had a look at Monsieur Gerard's website? He's worked with some impressive figures from the world of jazz, people who've been on truly monumental records. No wonder B&S are so far down his list. I'm impressed. I'm also looking forward to the new Gentle Waves LP. I don't think Ding Dong is anywhere near as twee as she's made out to be, some of her lyrics are quite bleak, in a twee kind of way. I say she ROCKS! What was Trousers doing in the garden? I mean The Guardian? Blake Witch Project was in our paper yesterday, but I didn't read that either. And it was on the radio, so I stuck my fingers in my ears and shouted "blerdleblergdèlryubelurtudngowpetrhblah" until it had finished.

Sinister: v-twin
by andrew dean 06 Aug '99

06 Aug '99

the new v-twin single is out this week, on domino. and it's great. "stevie jackson and chris geddes appear courtesy of jeepster records" (stevie plays harmonica). they've obviously grown up listening to the velvet underground and primal scream. no bad thing. orangey cover and nice orange disc which is the exact same shade as the mezzanine cd that i took out of the player in order to put the v-twin single in. buying the paper this morning i noticed what was probably a motor cycle mag on the shelf near the cash register. MAX, i think it was called. anyway, this month it includes a sheet of free stickers one of which says 'honk if you smell of wee'. don't know why. in said paper there was a piece on second hand fashion and there was a gratuitous picture of isobel. "some follow the lead of alternative icons like isobel campbell of belle and sebastian who was wearing headscarves and 60s slip dresses years before they hit the high street." in the photo she looks like she's on her way to a quaker meeting but hey... andy have been leafing through old copies of the nme and melody maker salvaging the good articles and recycling the rest in an attempt to cut down on the piles of crap i have to take with me when i move. came across the review of the first mogwai single and, well, i couldn't've read it at the time cos i'd've rushed out and bought it if i had. strange seeing references to things you've just started getting into, reviews of things you're just buying having latched onto an artists later works. yes, after 4 months of being unemployed i get offered two jobs in 27 hours. went to cambridge yesterday for an interview having been pretty much promised a job in hammersmith on wednesday afternoon (i wouldn't've gone only it was too late to cancel and i fancied a day out) and i get an offer there as well. who'd've thought? instant 5000 quid a year pay rise too but seeing as it entails a move to london that'll all go on rent and the obligatory mobile phone (they won't let you step off the train or bus in london without a valid ticket and a mobile phone, it's the law. they actually do city and guilds certificates on how to make and receive calls whilst commuting. people who master the art of calling someone on a train whilst they are travelling on another train (or, indeed, the same train) get special credit) in cambridge i saw a bootleg cd 'seeing other people' which seemed to be the paris gig and some bbc sessions. forget washing machines or tumble driers, my sources tell me that those oscillating power showers are the future. hear billy bragg doing the narration of 'soldiers to be' on bbc1 earlier this week? an inspired choice. genevieve: >Yes, if you have a Scottish (or English) accent you can have any girl you >want over-seas. Duh! i think i saw trousers booking plane tickets about half an hour after this was posted ;) thanks oon. your parcel arrived this morning. 8) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: A drum solo during LLPJ ?!?!
by David Moore 06 Aug '99

06 Aug '99

Yo! Nice to see Honey back & pottering around the Sinister garden again, tidying up the (new) beds & stuff. He is a saucepot, though, isn't he? On one of the Sinister piccies pages I came across a photo entitled Oon's Nice Pair. I waited with trepidation whilst the picture downloaded but was relieved to see a charming photo of some innocent Thai Drool, albeit with a suggestion of something cheeky at the other end. Genevieve (I hope being uprooted from the forest hasn't been too painful for you), if you're going to make a series of Belle & Sebastian screamers, don't forget to cast Chris' checked jacket as the lead in at least one of them. Recently someone was asking about Sid James & the Easter House & other, erm, Anglicisms. You can always dip into the Archives: try http://www.majordomo.net/sinister/search.html where Honey's fucking en**mous computer lets you do really clever searches. 5 matches for Kate Rusby;cheesegrater;PS Mitchell;iguana is well impressive. Mark (the famous Irish singer): my dictionary gives lambast, with lambaste as an acceptable alternative, so you & Nick are both right. Anyway, thanks for your thoughtfulness in forwarding digest 265, even though that wasn't the one I missed.

Sinister: Over the hill, the craic was good
by Cairns, Joe 06 Aug '99

06 Aug '99

Devoid of scary witches, true love, and (female) wanking, my first matin out of the nursery was proving decidely un-Sinister, until I tempted fate and boarded public transport. Woken from my slumber at Salford Crescent, the walkman had turned itself up v v v loud indeed, but the cynical news reports and racing tips had been magically ousted by lovely chiming guitars. Convinced that I was telepathically receiving new B&S, it was a little disappointing when Bob Dylan started singing. Would it be wrong to assume that Stevie has heard / likes v much 'Stuck Inside of Mobile w/ the memphis Blues Again?? The very next record was another B&S rip-off: 'Coney Island' by Van Morrison. Carbon copy of some stuff off the looper elpee, but with hideous belfast accent. Van's kinda sweet, no? specially the one on his last album that sounded like the tune from 'Pigeon Street'. Strangely, I hadn't been listening to Kiss Fm, or the mighty WISH 102.4 ("broadcasting to West houghton, Lowton and Parbold"), but Desert Island discs with Rick 'Seymour' Stein , the fish guy off the telly. Just time to heartily recommend C4's repeats of 'West Heath Yard' to recommend to brit listees with a craving for Edwyn Collins on splendidly catty form. Altogether now: 'They could be the Next Gay Dad!' bye joex +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: strict belle and sebastian content
by Jygsaw18＠aol.com 06 Aug '99

06 Aug '99

this was in the NME.. I recall Katrina mentioning this. Lucky bastards. i would have liked to have been there. (wouldn't we all?) BELLE & SEBASTIAN held a party in their studio this week to add special 'atmosphere' to their forthcoming album, which is due out early next year. A B&S spokeswoman said the band wanted the sounds of a 'get-together' on one of their tracks so they just decided to hold a party and record it. She continued: "They ended up having more than 100 of their friends crammed into the studio having a whale of a time." The album, which is as-yet untitled, will be the band's fourth and the follow-up to last year's 'The Boy With The Arab Strap'. It is being recorded at Ca Va studios in Glasgow. They are now due to finish recording the album in October, with a release expected in January next year. Meanwhile, Belle & Sebastian singer Isobel Campbell has confirmed that she will start work on a new Gentle Waves album once the new Belle & Sebastian LP is completed. ahh.. dave (moon man) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Re: Sinister: IN the FACE!,

I know how to spell 'lambaste', Mark Smartarsearotto. Errm, honest. I should have put a (sic) in. Blame Stuart Murdoch. Or the journalist from The List who transcribed his note. Or Calumn Shearer, for sending it into Sinister wrong. Or 'trendy modern teaching methods'. Just not me. I also know how to spell 'pejorative'. One thing I forgot to say was how interesting it was to read Mr Hal David's views on 'Seeing Other People'. I often find myself wanting to play cracking modern tunes to old folks whom I respect. I don't know why. I think I seek their approval. When I was 14 I showed my grandfather the lyric sheet to 'Hatful of Hollow'. I can't remember what he said, though. I do remember that my dad disapproved of the line 'England is mine, and it owes me a living'. I tried to persuade him that it was all ambivalent and ironic, but in retrospect, I'm not sure it was. I'm off work and email next week. Would anyone who lives along within the 'boundaries of totality' like to put me up on Tuesday night? Otherwise, I shall be forced to find a campsite. Is no one else excited about the eclipse? "Ooh, it'll be cloudy" "Ooh they'll be awful traffic jams" "Ooh, you'll go blind" "Ooh, Cornwall will sink" "Ooh, British business will lose millions in missed working hours" "Ooh, isn't it all just a lot of media hype?" SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP. Anyway, I shall be on email all today and most of Saturday if anyone feels like being kind.
