Sinister: Those knockers in full
by Nick.Dastoor＠guardian.co.uk 03 Sep '99

03 Sep '99

Following Peter Miller's fantastic bit of advice I would like to shout from the rooftops that I WORK IN THE MEDIA. I get to wear a trilby and sleep with media whores and stick it all on my expenses account. Are media whores supposed to charge? Have I been had? In my capacity as crack news librarian, I have found the following two little gems in today's cuttings: In today's Sun (underneath a photo of the new Tindersticks album cover, which features an 'arty' picture of a naked lady): THE SOURCE SALUTES.... Tindersticks - Simple Pleasure THIS lot have had their fair share of knockers in the past, so I suppose it's only appropriate that they should shove a pair on the cover of the album. That said, a record this good shouldn't come in for too much criticism. Singer Stuart Staples warbles his way through a fine collection of songs that are as thoughtful and beautiful as any you're likely to hear for a long while. ***** And in today's Guardian: The Divine Comedy A Secret History (Setanta) * For reasons beyond human comprehension, Neil Hannon continues to set up camp in the upper reaches of the charts with an ultra-tepid, ultra-English brand of foppish whimsy that your grandparents might have heard on Radio 2 in 1978 and banished for being "not radical enough". "But you fail to see the dark, knowing side to his acerbic easy listening anthems," say the postmodernists, as if Hannon's is-he-or-isn't-he-being-ironic stance excuses the limp innuendo of Something for the Weekend and lame phrasing of The Pop Singer's Fear of the Pollen Count. Well, Val Doonican's cardigan to that. A Secret History - the now familiar "featuring two new tracks" greatest-hits con - is Morrissey with all the arid wit exchanged for stale conceitedness. Thinking of leaving the country, but needing that one final push? Buy this. (TC) Not as great an opening gambit as the Sun, I grant you, but a refreshing example of the Guardian music journalists getting something right for a change. What's all this about me only liking 'Hurley's Having Dreams' in an 'ironic' way. I think it's bloody fantastic, I'll have you know. And so does Tim Hopkins. It's got some lovely lines in it and its depiction of the central character's crazeee ways is as good as any of Stuart's 'this song is about a girl who's a bit mad' songs. Not like 'Rhoda', which just repeats the same lame lines about special persons and special K over and over abloodygain over some piss-poor guitar line ripped off of 'Julia' by the Beatles, who are better than the Beach Boys, though probably less P!O!P! overall. I love the Beach Boys, by the way. But I stand by my crowd-baiting claim that 'Friends' is overrated. Someone implied that 'Rhoda' is a pre B&S song. I know it sounds like that, but I've been told that it was actually recorded some time between T and IYFS. Is this true?

Sinister: Mummy, I'm a wreck...
by mctag＠bigfoot.com 03 Sep '99

03 Sep '99

...Yes I am, After two days abandoned by Wumpkinny, who's run off to Canada to give a series of would-be suitors (a distant Parisian cousin off the Krays complete with sovereign rings, a fat Manc in sweaty vest and garish running shorts at the airport, and worst of all, a clearly undersexed conspiracy theorist) the slip. To add insult to injury, she's hidden the marmite and now I'm reduced to a poor shell of a man. And the phone went on the blink last night, so I had to go to the callbox last night and listen to that woman my Dad used to call Tin Knickers telling my call would be answered shortly for half an hour until I gave up, a broken man. But do you want to hear my tales of woe? Of course you don't, and I don't blame you. By some weird telekinetic coincidence I was, like Peter Miller, also wondering whether people go on about how drunk they've been to cover up who they've been snogging. You don't need to be so ashamed, love comes in all forms and in the most unlikely situations. So tell us all, don't be shy. Bug, you should dump him. I'm sorry, I know you said we shouldn't tell you that, but you should. Be strong, as strong as a woman. But never mind that...did you see Kevin Rowland at Reading? Was it as funny as it sounded, because it sounded really, really very funny. He was interviewed in "Uncute" this month and the poor soul clearly doesn't know what day of the week it is. I didn't buy any records in Paris, because every shopkeeper in Paris had gone on holiday. I did go into a bar that had a little toy train going from between the men's and ladies toilets. I wonder if this is so that prospective lovers can pass little billet doux from one cubicle to the other while they poo. I do hope so. And we met someone who knew Thim when he was just a wee bairn in a school blazer. My lips are sealed, but I do accept bribes. Time for my gruel.

My baby, my beautiful creation, my magic moment given in a twinkling of an eye (Just like Wizbit) is waiting for you to pull funny faces at and go "wibble wobble wible wobble" as the petrified cub bawls for it parent. But I am from a school of thought that believes in throwing children in at the deep end (Not literally, that would be infanticide and therefore a punishable offence not to mention a social taboo and party killer) but it will cope as it has been designed to. Communication is possible via http://members.tripod.co.uk/wpwe from there all your dreams will come to fruition, we have everything, all the colours of the rainbow. Don't tell your parents, leave tonight. We have candy floss, ale, cigars and the biggest rollercoaster you've ever seen all the cakes you could ever possibly wish for. So come on, jump on the wagon, the band wagon and we'll take you away, you'll never feel pain again. No one will ever tell you what to do, no arguments no bigger brothers and sisters. Come on, jump in. WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR Don't worry, follow the above star and you'll find B&S content, sort of. Oh and Hefner, just go to the music.

Sinister: Denholm Elephant
by PJMiller 03 Sep '99

03 Sep '99

Apologies to Motolo the elephant for getting her name wrong and thinking she was a boy. It was the trunk that did it. And I'm glad Thailand isn't full of landmines. Did you know that someone pops their clogs on a landmine every single every so often? It's shocking. I prefer those spiky ones in the sea, like on Dad's Army. And Oon, I can put your mind at rest. Although I have a great deal of respect for baldies, and consider myself to be spiritually balding, I have a lovely head of hair, thick and luxuriant, a bit like David Hasselhoff, only crawling with nits. Besides which, you love baldies in Thailand, we've all seen "The King and I". The other day I bemoaned the enormous number of posts we get from people going on about how drunk they get. It has since occurred to me, all on my own, that people might be going on about getting drunk to cover up for the fact that they've been snogging, and don't want to be held responsible for their choice of snog partner. If that's the case, keep those booze-soaked posts coming in. Sheds new light on Keith's occasional "anyone fancy a pint?" posts too. I've just seen a Ricky Martin video. What a dirty slag artist! He's always at it, from the looks of things. He's got more birds than you can shake a stick at. William, "Novelty Rock" is easily the worst Denim album. The first one's pretty good on the whole, the second one's an acquired taste. I like it, and Piezoleptic Unit likes it, and one or two other people like it. There are glimmers of .... I don't know, it's got good bits. But bear in mind I think Felt is a load of pretentious toss. With good bits. It's like this, which do you prefer? "She lives by the castle, oh yeah" or "I couldn't beleive it, she looked like one of the Hair Bear Bunch!" For me, it's a very one-sided affair. There's a kind of fascism of crap at work, totalitarian straight-faced pop misguidance. It's best not to think about it too much, my advice would be to snap them up if you see them cheap. They've definitely got something. Their influence may account for the top ten wanks line in the Murdoch canon. Praise indeed. Speaking of B&S, do I detect the merest spark of rivalry between Beepster and the "small" B&S office in Glasgow? I'd like to see those two incredibly tight live units playing, I like a bit of superb fretwork and tight drum patterns. Should appeal to industry types in the Big Apple. Speaking of which, if you've got a job in the media world, don't forget to gratuitously mention it in your posts, everyone'll be dead impressed.

Sinister: Bally bee. Mammy's knee. Wee bawbee. That's me. Anyone got any Coulthard's candy, I need a fix...
by Alasdair Cook MS1996 03 Sep '99

03 Sep '99

To celebrate Sinister's birthday I saw a man *half-naked*, *kissed* a man and danced *body to body* with a man. And do you know what, their girlfriends didn't even mind, which is always a bonus. A whip also featured prominently in the night's proceedings, but you don't want to know about that, do you? On Tuesday evening I managed to insult Stevie "Chocolate Boy" Jackson whilst watching Sleater-Kinney and hiding from a mad waiter after we forgot to pay our bill in his cafe. Oops! I think Stevie would be a combination of Rolos and Polos, called a roly-poly. Did I say that? Anyway, Rachael said: > Michael Stipe sucks. Opening. Closing. No sound. Places named after people. I have my own islands. Do I win? Oh, and then the lovely Youn said: > I wish I could see the video that Alasdair's grandfather is in cos I met > someone who, by a marvelous stroke of coincidence, could be him. It was > on the train from London to Glasgow. He was on the train before London > though in one of those seats with a table and a facing seat. I was late > and didn't have a reservation, so I asked if I could sit there. He > consented; then I discovered there was a dog under the table. The dog was > very docile, but I couldn't look up into his coke bottle glasses (my > brother uses that expression for very thick glasses, in case it isn't > apparent what is meant) so I changed at the next stop. But then a girl of > about six or seven came, and he proceeded to have the most interesting > conversation with her. It surprised me cos he had been reading a German > book and looked very serious and dignified with a face so gaunt and > angular that he appeared to be munching on his sandwich with his front > teeth. He offered to sing for her! "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and > another one I can't remember, which they sang together. I don't think this was my grandpa, but I could be wrong. No, I couldn't actually. I met my grandpa the other day, while walking along the street. He pulled me into this little arty-crafty-very-expensive type shop to have a look around, then said in a rather loud voice, with lots of people around "So, do you not have a girlfriend then?". He's really very nice though. He's a mad-keen photographer even though he's completely blind in one eye and going that way in the other. I was thinking of inviting him to come and see Sleater-Kinney so that other Sinistereens could bow at his feet, but I think he wanted to go home and have a cup of tea. I had a Sinister dream last night. We were having a big picnic meet-up type thing, except it was behind the bar in the golf club where I work. Jim and Damon were there, except Jim had cut his hair so it was quite short, and Damon had bleached his for some reason. Then I start talking to this guy who I work with, who hates all my music but is there since it's where he works, and I suddenly realise that everyone has gone to the pub without me, and then he says he has to go as well so I'm left all alone. Erica, get your book out. Mr Cas(red)a(house)rotto(painter) said: > this dodgy looking junkie (and > I SWEAR I'm not being rude if I say he looked a bit like Martin Robinson, > except not as handsome) My bus driver today looked like Martin Robinson as well, except obviously not as handsome. What's happened here is that Martin has probably cloned himself a few times, being the mad scientist that he is, except he's not quite perfected the technique so all the clones are imperfect and have to steal or get rubbish jobs as bus drivers to get by. Remember, Martin Robinson clones are people too, and they can't help the way they are. Mark also said something about me being sexy, which is rubbish as anyone who has met me will testify. And last but by no means least, BabyChris said: > AILSA CRAIG (ROSS) IS COING (sic) TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD Has anyone got a spare ticket to Mars? I'm JOKING! You are all my favourite vegetables. Cheerio.

Sinister: What if...
by COURTOLY＠aol.com 03 Sep '99

03 Sep '99

Its been a thought on my mind for a while, shame shame because s/he will read this. What if you meet someone at a Sinister picnic and they turn out to be, well, not your type of friend? I mean, if you have some stuff in common, but communicate very awkwardly and end up feeling like you're defending your friend's bands and both of you are acting "s--------ish" because you know these musicians are really nice people when you get to know them and its not just another stop on the tour. Sigh. I do think this person is very nice but s/he doesn't think very nice things of some of my friends who s/he's only met once. And I tried really hard to talk about hobbies and travelling and school and other things that would be nice, but it just seemed to be soured by our disagreements even if we never fought. Speaking of touring- My friend Nomy was telling me about touring yesterday and it seemed very wierd. She was in a Drag Attack cabaret that just went all over the US this summer and played punk clubs and queer bars. She was just saying how wierd it is going to city to city and only seeing one little bit of it and having that one little bit be you onstage and then you offstage but with people taking care of you and giving you a place to sleep and wanting to talk to you and interview you and buy things from you. So maybe some people are just used to that kind of attention and start acting funny. Do any of you Sinistereens have web pages where you put up songs in mp3 or real audio? While not a teenboyradiopop band song, I want to put up the song Wanna Be by the Spice Girls as sang by Calvin Johnson of K records with Amelia and Pete from Heavenly/Talulah Gosh/Marine Research. I'm afraid my tape is going to wear out if I don't get it digitalized soon, and then anyone could hear it for free.

Sinister: 995
by Starry 03 Sep '99

03 Sep '99

Hello then, I got spanking new trainers yesterday! They're great. Then again I would appreciate any form of trainer which didn't squeak on the same volume as a hideously mutated over-sized rat called That Mariah Carey Woman each time I took a step. Oh yes for years I have suffered in bloody squeaky addidas gazelles, but no longer! I have thrown them out!! My trainer footware no longer will let me down :) Jim Taylor mentioned about Stevie Jackson and Peanut M'N'M's. Bloody hell thats strangely hard to type. Please don't mention Stevie Jackson and NUTS again please. I might get far too overheated.... Minx magazine reckons that to spice up your sex life you should roll m'n'm's all over your body. With a partner of course. And other sticky stuff like that. AND TOUNGUES! Did you sister read the same article Jim? And I am I the only one not doing a tape for Antje? Piezoelectric Unit! Give my affections to the Duke, would he be there of course. Does the Duke know anything about The Chesterfields? As I don't. I only know that they've got a stupid name and one of their albums is called The Kettle. Thanks for telling me that Tim. I still remember it. As I remember everything you say. Unless its about Pharcyde, cos I've already forgotten what album you said I should get. Archel, Ronan Keating is an ugly bastard. I'm sorry, but he IS! Look at that FACE of his. It's not right. I always had a soft spot for Monkey Chops Stephen Gately, as Smash Hits always referred to him. Stands to reason he's gay. But then again Ronan is better looking than Shane and Mikey. Is there another Boyzone member called Keith? We have a Sinister Keith too. I bet they are both the same. There's no way I would know of TWO seperate Keiths. I mean is this Eerie Indiana or what? I'm going to Kingston university Marcus. Obviously its not a patch on Cambridge, but hey. I'm nervous of this freshers week thing too, as I'm only a little northern lass and I'll be a long way from home. And all alone. In Surrey. Hooray. So I'll be a little lost and lonely too. I'm sure there will be other lost and lonely people too, and we can find them and sit in the lost and lonely corner with gin and lemonade. Or vodka and lime. Or beer. Or wine. Or stout. Speaking of which....(seamless link coming up!), Robin Stout (heyhey!) wrote about Richard Colburn writing songs on the new B&S record. DOES Richard write any songs? I quite like Richard. I remember almost bumping into him carrying a carrier bag full of alphabetti spaghetti (maybe). And I remember thinking, "Now there's a man who knows his carrier bag technique." Its a little known fact that from the way a man carries a carrier bag, you can tell when he'd be like when carrying his handbag. Would he want to carry a handbag of course. And I managed to deduce that Richard would be one of those saucy temptresses who swing their hips sultrily in order to attract any passers-by with their sexy handbag skeelz. If they didn't have any dyke skeez handy, of course. Dyke Skeez. They aren't only a valuable ski-ing aid, but handy in the old pullage stakes as well. And Isobel is too crap to carry a handbag. Instead she should choose a nice brown paper bag. And put it over her head. Then again, there's not really much point in that is there, with her being an old bag herself... Hur Hur I should keep down this level of humour. Really I should.

Sinister: To see a young goat or kid in your dreams presages the meeting of a bearded man of great learning and influence
by Graham MacArthur 03 Sep '99

03 Sep '99

I found a book in the attic. It's called DREAMS 'hidden meanings and secrets'. Darling starlings, "For a woman, playful kittens in a dream portend a suitor who will be more interested in dalliance than in the serious side of love-making. A man who dreams of kittens is in danger of being played with by the object of his affections" You'd think twee dreams should be a *nice* thing, wouldn't you? I had a very twee dream last night. I was left to look after three kittens (in little baskets, with little covers) while sorting out some packs of cards (with flowers on, no less) but then one moment I looked up and a man with a binliner full of wriggling little kitties was dissapearing out the back door. I chased after him, but he tricked me by throwing another bag at me, which was just full of fluff. I cried. Then someone bought me three new cats, but they were big and fat, and ginger. AND they scratched me. I am coming to the picnic on saturday. Yes, I said I am. Can't wait to see my friend the thorny "my friends are prettier than you" James. Don't worry that people will know your name when you don't know theirs, I don't know about everyone else, but I usually go for the "so, who the hell are you?" approach at picnics. We're all very friendly, honest. We can both sulk about having to go back to school. Mark said: >I suggest we all vote on who off the list we'd most like to see in the >buff Do they have some say in this? What are you going to do, drag Stevie trousers from his bed at All Tommorows Parties and drag him onto the seafront before yanking his clothes off? Actually, that could be quite entertaining.. Graeme Hack-at-small-animals said: >I'll try not to post for a day or so. I'd like to see more post by Erica, >if only to laugh at the sender's address when she does post - Graham >MacArthur - Hah! you're easily entertained, arent you? then you said: >How old are you anyway? I'm sixteen. I was born in 1982. I'm a libra. I am friday's child. I like fishing, dogs and cars. Actually make that make-up, kittens and clothes. I think everyone should love the Angelica single on Fantastic plastic, and Blue Smarties' "I feel like Ian Beale" but you can't have everything. darling dave said: > Austrian dogs still suck and I say indeed they do. props. Erica x p.s Some people like mogwai. I used to say I don't like mogwai because they don't have any lyrics, but I do like Add N to (X), so that blows my cover. No, personally I prefer songs like 'Confide in me' by Kylie Monoge.

Sinister: Slow as a glacier makes its way down to the Rhine

howdy doody, folks! I have a sneaking suspicion I post too long and too often, but what the hey. I just wanted to add my six eggs. The Yerself is Steam/Lego Yer Ego double whammy is tops, including a cover of Miles' Sshh/Peaceful, and, according to the posters, the greatest debut single in the world..ever - Carwash Hair - on the Cd. I don't know if it's true, but it is inexplicably absent from the vinyl. Does anyone care? For all those peeps seeking out the early days of Mercury Rev, the jewel of the collection is the Rough Trade singles club 7" of their cover of If You Want Me To Stay. White hot funk! Actually, that's a little wide of the mark. Wierd shit is closer. Student radio in London - there was Rare FM for a month last year, done out of UCL, doing the have-a-go-with-an-FM-license-(no static at all)-and-we'll-take-a-year-and-a-half-to-decide-whether-or-not-to-let-you-ha ve-another-go thing that whoever decides this stuff does all the time. I proudly guested on the film show but never listened to the rest cos i couldn't remember the frequency. I do know that in the right reception area, if you flick to AM from XFm you get RTL Country. Sweet country music. Sing ho for the picnic! I fear I wasn't terribly egrerious at the last one I went to. Maybe I hadn't had enough beer. But some nice people remembered who I was at Tigermilking. And i enjoyed myself. if everyone thinks happy thoughts it will be sunny. going on too long again spoon xx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
