Sinister: unclefukka
by jarkko frantila 03 Sep '99

No, I haven't seen that new South Park film yet, but let us not talk about it. What we can talk about, though, is that "unclefukka" song Terrance and Philip sing in the movie. Read the lyrics in the latest Melody Maker. Hmmm... Yes, saw Gay Dad wednesday evening. Fairly good, actually. Nothing that would blow my mind, but ok. And a GREAT addition was that Denise Johnson was touring with them, you know, the chick who sang for Primal Scream etc. We have voices, we hear voices and we have VOICES that really remind us what soul music is all about. That's Denise for you. R. Kelly should be shot (and that has nothing to do with the other stuff I said, just had to get that out of my system). He's a wank. And Cliff Jones had a magnificant ass (not that I paid any attention, but heard it from quite a few people). But he had a strange hairdo. But thats not the point I'm writing. The point is, they held a small ress-conference here yesterday. BUT: that editor of SUE-magazine e-mails me: "You wanna go there? Ask some questions and stuff? 7 other reporters will be there with you." Well off course I wanna go. Then I call up this guy who works for Warner music and ask him when it's held, at what time. "at one." I thought it would be in the evening. But nooooo. So I couldn't go because of this lousy job. Fuck. Can I say that here? That's it. Friday, and you know what that means, don't you? ______________________________________________________ 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: Now, IIIIIIIIIIIIIII...want someone badly
by Walkn10＠aol.com 02 Sep '99

02 Sep '99

We were listening to the First Love, Last Rites soundtrack today and that line has been stuck in my head ever since. Thats such a great soundtrack, especially the Jeff Buckley and Rob Zander tracks. Speaking of Rob Zander, is anyone else going to see Cheap Trick and Guided by Voices at the 9:30 Club next Fri? I hope so... I saw Mogwai last night in DC and I think my hearing is beginning to re-assert itself as a functional sense. Driving home last night I was close to totally deaf in my right ear, but now its either alot better or the other one has given out as well in a touching display of solidarity with its bretheren. At least the ringing has subsided. It was quite a racuous gathering of the stars of the DC Sinister system at the Black Cat. How anyone in their right mind cannot be instantly cheered up by the presence of Christa and Dan is beyond me. If they're not the happiest, cheeriest, most fun couple on the planet then...I don't know, but they're really great! We also met up with Ian and his girlfriend from Glasgow (never caught a last name but he's got a mullet). They were some of the nicest people I've ever met. Last night I finally saw the B&S documentary that was on the BBC (I'm know thats so old but I'm WAY behind the times) and I liked it. I agree with those that said it left much to be desired but the interviews with Mick were great. He seems like the nicest guy. Richard too, but he seems like more of a mischevious rogue. I would have liked to have seen more Stuart M. or Stevie J. footage, but I guess the handful of Isobel clips makes up for it. Someone said awhile back that this tape proved how horrible and mangled Wee Chris' haircut is and I must sadly agree. It's quite a sad sack cut, but it is kind of neat in an odd way. Gas station attendants pumping gas? Is this still around? I haven't seen a Full Service station in ages, but apparently Lauren has proven their existance. I shall have to lobby to have one installed around here because I'm quite a lazy chap and if I can stay in my car for 5 minutes longer I shall be that much happier.

Sinister: Love and Lighthouses
by Funkyseb 02 Sep '99

H!i! t!h!e!r!e! p!o!p!k!i!d!s! Will w!r!o!t!e!: >....includes one song about Chicory Tip. >Are Denim's other LPs quite this bad? I haven't dared find out. Yes they are. I 've only heard a bit of Felt, and I was hoping that they would be as consistantly awful as Denim..... I've got a lovely version of Song of my Father, the template for Chicory Tip, on the MFP longplayer "Moog Party Time". Now I know what you're all thinking, but it realllllly does rock, in a moogtastically TV theme way. I've been perfecting my moves on the wheels of steel, and I hope to play it when I get the chance to DJ in September, if that's still going ahead? I don't know. I had to headbang to Lenny Kravitz in an audition today. Can one get compensation for that? It was in the same studio as that Moby thing, so I imagine the tape'll be on VH1 for you all to sneer at soon. Anyway, music is boring. Let's talk about something p!o!p! S!E!X! well, L!O!V!E!, anyway. Before Honey shoves them up his "Dusty Bin" (sic), I think everyone should look at the beauties of the picture site, and go out with someone off of it. Like me, for instance. Autumn's coming, and soon we won't be able to see each other's wobbly parts with out a head for heights, and a pair of binoculars. And I have neither. Erm, can't think of a l!i!g!h!t!h!o!u!s!e! connection. Lighthouse family.......light "house"........nope. Fuck it. that's that clever subject stuffed. Never mind. I'd better go. bye seb +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: I'm beginning to have trouble getting my ego through the doorway
by James Thorniley 02 Sep '99

02 Sep '99

HI. Or hello. Ok, I WILL be quick this time. Looks like chances are I will make it to picnic on Saturday, but I may have to go home early. I HAVE BEEN ORDERED TO BABYSIT. AAAAAAAGH. It wasn't that easy to get it past mummy, but I managed to persuade her that none of you seem to be on the register. She is really paranoid that you are all lying about who you are and you are all really wierd. "It all sounds a bit sinister to me". I didn't say anything in reply. I'm really scared though, b/c people seem to know who I am, and I'm going to look sooo arrogant when I go along and don't recognise people's names. I do love you, really. Anyhow, you must all go along. No sitting at home complaining about the weather. Yes, that's you, Erica. Everyone must go. That was sort of quick, was't it? For me, anyway. -- James Thorniley +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: i read bad poetry into your machine
by Archel1978＠aol.com 02 Sep '99

02 Sep '99

ian wrote that he saw someone wearing a beatles (albert dock) jacket. (except he used capitals - sooo outdated dahling). i had forgotten it until this moment, but i used to own a beatles (albert dock) sweatshirt with a yellow submarine on it. unfortunately it made me look unutterably stupid. in fact, i used to be able to make the most 'in' items (eg. coloured DMs, bags with all your favourite bands scrawled on them - this is early 90s we're talking here) look, yup, unutterably stupid. i don't get it. how come some people are just born cool, some achieve cool, and some have coolness thrust upon them, but some never really come close? is it a gene? i am still struggling to get the image of gui manipulating a dj out of my head. i mean, i love b&s, don't get me wrong, but there are some depths to which i would not descend (literally). and then george dickie (who may have lost his voice in real life but is still loud and clear on the list, thankfully) started talking about still having two fingers, and i had to go and lie down with my copy of 'the wit and wisdom of mary whitehouse' to recover. and as for those lyrics alistair quoted... i'm concerned that people are getting over-dependent on the list crush site for their self-esteem. i have one measly vote, and you don't hear me complaining. but while i'm on the subject: HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN???!!!! my sister returned from the reading festival a couple of days ago. although she is unlike me in almost every respect, this was an echo of my own younger days, as i went to said festival at exactly the same juncture in my life (between 1st and 2nd year of a levels.) her intelligent choice of bands to view were: offspring, terrorvision and the red hot chilli peppers. mind you, my abiding memory (apart from meeting my first proper boyfriend there - ahhh) is of throwing up while watching the smashing pumpkins, so can't feel too superior really. an almost seamless segue: alistair wrote about boyzone and pop/Pop. i must admit that i like boyzone quite a lot. is this incompatible with liking b&s? nah. they are Pop, definitely. ronan keating is an angel. 'you say it best when you say nothing at all' - he could practically be talking about me, on the evidence of this post. so i will be quiet now, finally. luv archel xxx ps: i'm not going to cheltenham any more. i'm staying here and trying to get a job which actually pays money. radical. ********** Rachel Playforth archel(a)iname.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Entrez dans le rêve
by Florence Monnet 02 Sep '99

02 Sep '99

Hello People! New from the nursery and in the land of B&S , I was born last autumn. It was not sudden , even after their concert at Fri-son. It really happened this spring. Sunday morning with cool drought and warm rays over my skin. I was having breakfast on my balcony, eyes over the lake . Put "If you're feeling.." in the slit...and oh! great sentations, "chair de poule".. same as i was listening to Autour De Lucie ("immobile"). Now , i've got almost "official" stuff (thanx Jeepster!), even found somes Ep in Athina (hi, greek peop'!) Do i have questions? oh, a lot . It's no easy to catch everything from sinisters, but i'll do my best! En vrac in my heart: PJ H, "Edward Scissorhands", Juliette Lewis, Viggo "the Indian runner", "Under the skin", 22 Pistepirkko, "Blue Velvet", The Screaming Trees (ahhh, such a voice!).... and some frenchies.. Happy to be there and.... Because JSBX will play tonight,YO!!! Flo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "....Découper le monde à coups de rasoir Pour voir au coeur du fruit le noyau noir..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Entrez dans le rêve G.

Sinister: Prettier dead or just more attractive?
by Mark Casarotto 02 Sep '99

02 Sep '99

Having had a few glasses of wine at lunchtime (my boss's birthday! ¾ hour extra lunchbreak!), I feel less guilty about personal emailing (did you ever? asks half the list). So here's a question which isn't relevant to many of you, but there must be some... College radio. I always imagine the typical college station would sound like the new XFM (NOT London's only alternative), which is almost entirely not a recommendation. Lots of quirky Weezer-type stuff and alternativerock, the most evil word in the cosmos. (XFM is the same, only centred on the life and works of Symposium). But I know I'm being prejudiced, and by the sound of it, there's lots of worthwhile stuff that you'll only get to hear on college radio. Anyway, to the point. Is there anything similar here in London? When I was at Warwick, I DJed on W963 ("the best in student radio", or somesuch), and though the listening figures usually hovered around single figures, occasionally we'd get a temporary FM licence and I was able to bask in the thought of upsetting old ladies as far away as Kenilworth and Solihull with Huggy Bear and Th' Faith Healers. Probably. Anyway, as you'd expect, my show was just fantastic, and if there's anything like that on the radio it'd be nice to tune in occasionally. Anyway, back to lunch. We were happily getting tipsy and reducing the chance of getting any work done this afternoon, when 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) waltzed (not literally, come on, keep up) into Café Flo and nicked loads of cash from the till! Despite me sitting nearest the door, I managed to dozily not have a clue what was going on until he'd fled to the next county, just about, but it was quite exciting anyway. I also got to buy my boss a b'day present (not a bidet, sadly), and did such a good job I was asked to be a personal shopper for the head of the legal department. My methods of not knowing how to choose between 3 or 4 items, getting in a huff, snatching a further item and flouncing up to the counter, only to find that it costs twice as much as all the others, evidently works. Which is a bit of luck, considering how bloody awful I seem to be at script editing children's television... Robin, your campaign to reissue old classics sounds simply spiffing. Top hole, as we say in England :-) But I'm sure Nick was joking about Hurley's Having Dreams. Or at least I hope he was joking... Marcus - The Delgados were a wee bit disappointing at Bowlie I. Sterile would be a better word. They sounded mostly like they do on record, but without the quality of the sound. So pretty good, but not uplifting or anything. Maybe they'll kick to kill (cheers) next time. Hope so. Brian Conley tickled me by not only accusing me of naming myself after morbidly depressive Americans, but also by mentioning the Roisin Dubh in Galway. On my (so far) one and only trip to Ireland in 1994, we finished off the final evening of the holiday getting merrily slaughtered in the Roisin, even going as far to buy a kebab made from DOG (it WAS so) from the only non-abrakebabra kebabbie in Ireland. Ah, memories. I can't be alone in wondering when Honey will stop teasing us and ACTUALLY put some visual smut up on the revamped, not-quite-new-and-improved sinister site. I suggest we all vote on who off the list we'd most like to see in the buff, and then use the edict of the People's Democratic Republic of Sinister to demand saucy pics. I'll get the ball rolling with nudey shots of CarsmileSteve, please. And finally, I must give massive props to Keith, who can't possibly be as sound as he, erm, is, for the provision of a lilo for the night. Best supporting props go to the really rather sexy Ally Cook, with whom I hope to be sharing a bed, ahem, room, at Bowlie II (grrrrrr...), Ailsabelle for being Ailsabelle, and the whip-totin' Sheeny for having almost as little hair as me. Cheers. Now listening (in my head): Barbara Dixon & Elaine Paige. Mmmm.

Sinister: A Denim Suit
by William Messent 02 Sep '99

02 Sep '99

Hullo, Alistair said; "But the Duke is no more, which is probably just as well, because he certainly wouldn't have approved of me listening to Denim On Ice and thinking that actually it is rather a fine record, and not theembarrassing pile of tripe that the Duke once said it was. " Last January I saw Denim's 'Novelty Rock' in the Our Price sale for about 3 quid. "Now" I thought, "Felt = good. Denim = Lawrence from Felt's other band, and thus Denim must = Good." I think only in mathematical formulae you see. Anyway I was wrong, the LP is absolutely awful, and I can't help but think it's probably meant to be, I don't know. It's mostly sung in v. high 'Pinky & Perky' voices and includes one song about Chicory Tip. Are Denim's other LPs quite this bad? I haven't dared find out. Just a thought.
