Here's some Jeepster nudes some of you might not have seen if you aren't on the nudes list - don't think anyone else has sent this on. Mummy x ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 01 Sep 1999 19:49:15 +0100 From: David Kitchen <shop(a)jeepster.co.uk> To: news(a)jeepster.co.uk SALAKO, SNOW PATROL AND A BELLE IN NEW YORK http://www.jeepster.co.uk/ at this years CMJ music thingy in New York, Jeepster Records have teamed up with Sugar Free Records to bring you a night of fine music. the night will take place at The Knitting Factory, 74 Leonard Street, NY. you should check local press and the venue for ticket details. bands playing on the night include; snow patrol, salako, sparkle horse, wheat and beulah. with additional accompaniment from the DJ'ing talents of richard colburn (belle and sebastian). this is a one off gig and is not part of a tour, meaning it's bloody special and if you can get along to it you should make the effort. both snow patrol and salako are incredibly tight live bands who really perform, so to have them side by side on a schedule is equates to a cool night out. -- LOOPER SINGLE WITH PULP REMIX http://www.treehouse.clara.net/ looper have returned from their US tour triumphant, and without pausing to wallow in their glory have already finished the follow up to the debut single 'ballad of ray suzuki'. three tracks form this stunning single, all of them are damn special; 1- who's afraid of y2k? a live favourite in the US, and rapidly becoming the most played track in the office. 2- up a tree again a slight twist on the album version with more chorus and a brilliant hook that gets it stuck in your head for days 3- up a tree again (the chocolate layers st john's ambulance mix) a quote from the pulp website at http://www.rise.co.uk/pulp/ (at least i think it's a quote, can't get the site to work, so it may be fabrication!); "Jarvis (Cocker) and Steve (Mackay) (not just Jarvis as previously reported) have remixed "Up A Tree"" it sounds like a wild party, there's a great bit where Jarvis is singing backing vocals and the whole damn thing sounds gloriously loud and feels like it could fall apart at any moment, but then, that's the beauty of both pulp and looper. the release date for this has been set for the UK at October 18th 1999. it will be released on CD single and 10" vinyl. cat number JPRCDS015 & JPR10015 respectively. all good indies should carry this easily, some larger stores should also have it, but of course, anyone finding themselves unsure of whether they'll get a copy can just order it in advance from us. we'll do our usual best to make sure that it arrives on or around the release date, it should be on our site in a week or so :) -- well, that's it, another dose of news dealt with. other small bits of info; belle and sebastian are still in the studio, belle and sebastian related merchandise will now no longer be sold by jeepster - look, we're a record company right, not a clothes store ;) - the band are now running that from their small office in glasgow though jeepster will still be selling the posters and records as usual, because of that our turn-around time has improved (most orders now despatched within a week, with some despatched within two days), the gentle waves are working on new material, snow patrol will soon be heading into the studio with stuart murdoch (belle and sebastian) possibly producing, happy birthday to james (salako) for this saturday, massive overhaul of ALL the jeepster websites just round the corner prior to another 'something special' that we're working on. well, that'll keep the rumour mongers amongst you busy :) which reminds me to ask kindly that if you're going to use this in news stories (yes, i know now that there's a lot of journo's on this list), at least quote the source!!! cheers david +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ david kitchen : jeepster recordings ltd : http://www.jeepster.co.uk/ mailto:shop@jeepster.co.uk : po box 14153, london sw11 4xu, uk ----------------------------------------------------------------------- +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Elephant Hospital
by oon 02 Sep '99

02 Sep '99

Happy Birthday to Sinister! i know it's a little late, but that never stop me from saying happy birthday before. and never will. i'm happy to find some more pissing boys today. so Honeymum and Lulu may expect the arrival of your very own pissing boy in the near future. the same to lovely and lively Fezboy&Gapboy, good to see you back Matthew. > Thai news: Motolo the elephant is a bit better thank you after his > operation to repair his completely blown to bits foot. The sight of a > sufferinng elephant is terrible indeed. In the paper they said he'd > stood on a mine in Burma or somewhere like that, but on the telly they > said he'd stood on a mine in Thailand, which is apparently full of > mines. I didn't know that. Is it true? Only one person has the > answer... > yeah only one person has the answer. and that person is not telling. heh well i am telling actually. i was just playing hard to get. or something. it's time like this that i'm not that confident i live in Thailand myself. people seem to know things about Thailand i don't. as far as i'm concern, Thailand is most definitely not full of land mine. otherwise i'd have trodded on one by now. Thailand is full of elephants though. i think of them as elderly relatives. seeing them hurt is heartbreaking. Motala is still recuperating. all fingers crossed that she can keep her left foot. where did you get the name Motolo from Mr Miller? you makes her sound like a phone! did you see her bed? special cozy bed made just for her :) and it's hugh! hugher than my house! she's resting on there looking like a precious giant princess. poor baby. what happened to her was that her left foreleg was shattered by a land mine in Burma. her mahout smuggled (and silly me thought only small things can be smuggled) her to work in the Burma forests. i couldn't count how many vets/surgeons/nurse/etc. working on the operation. but the big room was full of people. room is not really a correct word. it's more like like a barn. the operation was last saturday about 3 hours. last i heard she's recovering fast and eating normally. make you wonder why Mr Rolf never do his animal hospital stuff down here isn't it. Mr.John Peel of Chelmford, UK kindly sent me a beautiful postcard from the wonderland of Italy and told magical things about the invisible mountain and starry lights. sigh. abroad is such a lovely place when you can't go anywhere. was it just me and my english, or did Jordi really say Mr Miller is bald??? o my god. and me all along faithfully took you as that ravishingly handsome hipster in sinister photo page. o my earth is shattered. is Tag also going to Toronto too? i trust you all looks after Genevieve well. like Motala, she's also a precious princess. only much smaller. happy weekend everyone! oon xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: E, begum & anti-Isobel
by MARTIN_CONNEELY＠finance.irlgov.ie 02 Sep '99

02 Sep '99

Mark Casarotto wrote: <<Didn't Martin Connelly used to be called Martin Conneely?>> Can't remember: maybe I was typing in the DT version of Wordpro. Or cutting out Es. Actually Es came into play far too late for my generation; I never know what Irvine Welch is all about, except for the occasional translations on this list. Which ruined "Slow Graffiti" for me, knowing all that sordid stuff was going on upstairs. Georges Perec (?) wrote a novel in French without any "e"s, didn't he? Maybe I was heading in that direction. No, I was compensating for Nick Dastoor's adding on "o" to his name every few years. I used to think Mark was using the Italian for Red House Painters as a pseudonym, then I found out that Mark isn't "painters" in English. Anyway, now that Honey has announced the archives can't be searched properly any more, it's safe to go back to "Conneely". Amos wrote that the marketplace had passed judgement on Gentle Waves, i.e. if you buy some decent old music you can have it cheap. (He didn't write that: I'm just slanting what he did write to jibe at poor Isobel) But then I read on Jeepsternews that "the gentle waves are working on new material". Those who do not learn from history are doomed to make the same mistakes, or whatever that quote is. The solution to the GW problem is for Struan and Isobel to swop roles; no - not have him wearing a dress, just writing the songs and doing the main voice. And draft in Stuart D and Sarah M, too. Could be a very good band if they did that. Cornelius is a great band to cough to. I had a few maximum volume 90 second sessions of trying to expel my lungs at their recent Dublin gig in Dublin without annoying anybody. (Flaming Lips headed the bill but I discovered this morning that they are not very nice people and I don't want to mention them.) On the bus, if I get an inside seat, it guarantees I have the full seat to myself. Which is handy on Imp buses as the seats don't cater for those in possession of kneecaps. Life is cruel: Sparklehorse and Cane 141 are playing in Roisin Dubhs, Galway on Friday next but I can't go. Will see Beth Orton and Charlatans - about whom/which I know nothing - tonight, though.

Sinister: he had melancholia at the age of nineteen
by Marcus Omond 02 Sep '99

02 Sep '99

hello everyone, the lovely ssharp discovered the true reason for my brief sojourn in scotland - to further my fledgeling thespian career ~ so props to him. i haven't actually seen my screen appearance, so any more info about what i allegedly do and say (from any of you scottish listees) would be more than appreciated. i've just got loads of stuff about fresher's week at cambridge. it all seems to be about competitions where whoever imbibes the most alcohol/ caffeine and acts in a general all round prickish manner is the winner. and it also looks a hell of a lot more public school than i was hoping it would be - none of the photos of people look even vaguely indie... and i'm scared. i'll probably end up spending the whole of fresher's week curled up in the corner of my room sucking my thumb and listening to the delgados (who i've just discovered and who i think are monstrously wonderful - can't wait to see them at bowlie...). my bedroom, i have discovered, is right above the college bar, however, so maybe not... um, i got a letter from geneva today (the band, not the swiss city) and they're playing a gig at the water rats, king's cross, london, on the 21st of september where they'll be showcasing new material. and you can get free tickets (only 2 each, i'm afraid) by e-mailing jamx(a)easynet.co.uk and asking for them (remember to give them an address). see you all there (i hope). ...but i'll see you all on SATURDAY THE FOURTH OF SEPTEMBER at primrose hill, to celebrate... i dunno, something. and to mourn the passing of the last summer of love of the century, and to drink a toast (or two, or three, or forty five if you're name's drunken matt) to a winter of love rather than of discontent. if your mummy doesn't want to let you go, sneak out of the house under the pretence of going shopping for back-to-school stuff... um, i'm a bit crap at writing at the moment, because i'm two thousand miles from the person i want to be with most, but i won't bore you all with all that, and i'll just apologise for not being even vaguely witty today... so until saturday, love Marcus XXX ______________________________________________________ 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".

by Tigerxdare＠aol.com 02 Sep '99

02 Sep '99

hello again all, ahh here i am, hone from psyc class early. the one class that i could actually enjoy lets out early. go figure...so i started college, and didnt meet anyone. im just gonna give it time, but as of now i have been to all of my classes and everyone in their is either old or not willing to talk...ok it is now 10 minutes later. i just got off the phone. ok i need advice. here is the situation- i pull into the gas station as usual, and there is this boy that works there that talks to me while he pumps my gas for me. umm he is nice enough, i never really thought much of it, he just makes conversation. so anyway, today i pull in to get gas and he asks me out! i stammer that sure i would go on a date, but only because i am flattered that he had enough guts to ask me, basically a complete stranger, out on a date. so im thinking and thinking more and more about this. im having doubts. i mean here this gas station stranger guy askes me on a date, and crazy me i say yes, i didnt even know his name until two seconds ago. and plus i am a sucker for those cute little fragile indie rock boys. thats who i go for. thats who i like to date. i mean i cant imagine dating someone who would hate my music, since it means so much to me. ok so i go to my class at school about a half hour after that, and i get home about three hours later. i gave this boy my number and my sister said he called like every half hour asking for me, and was asking all sorts of questions. so now im thinking, who calls someones house every half hour?..ok so now i just got off the phone with him and he wants to go on a date tomorrow. i need immediate advice! what do i do???...anyways new topic. i love college radio to death. if anyone on this list lives in new jersey listen to 103.3 princetons college radio station. i needed something upbeat today, so i called and requested lifetime, (i dont know if any of you know who they are, but lets just say they are legends here in jersey)..they played that, and last time i called they played all my requests-belle and sebastian, the secret stars, and ida...i do in fact, like the abercrombie and fitch song. and i love pedal pushers (although i call them capris).i prefer to cuff up my pants though. ok i must go listen to some music. goodnight all. love and bloody kisses, lauren** +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: forgive me
by E. A. Hostetter 02 Sep '99

02 Sep '99

Yes Sweetie...my sentiments exactly (re: poem) NOW... "i pull into the gas station as usual, and there is this boy that works there that talks to me while he pumps my gas for me. umm he is nice enough, i never really thought much of it, he just makes conversation. so anyway, today i pull in to get gas and he asks me out! i stammer that sure i would go on a date, but only because i am flattered that he had enough guts to ask me, basically a complete stranger, out on a date. so im thinking and thinking more and more about this. im having doubts." Dear, don't go out with mechanics or any of those car types...they only hook up with your best friend's friend and then call you a year later to tell you how happy they are. Oh, and doubts cloud inspiration. HAL I have just indirectly met my doppelganger...his name is Hal (even if it were the tyrannical thing from S.K.'s 2001, don't think it would make a difference) A dinner friend mentioned her roommate...the most apathetic, neglectful soul ever...she came to a better understanding of phone phobia, the regular 'disappearing act' and the "I wanna die in my room" deal. I have no intentions of meeting this Hal for we'd likely experience communal soul rot from Internet addiction. B&S TM J says I should listen to Tigermilk to calm my psyche. I have yet to grasp any of the lyrics but am sure that "she's losing it" is among them. Way out, E is for 'elf' +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: "he's sinister!"
by Matthew Hintz 02 Sep '99

02 Sep '99

"I know the word to describe that man," exclaimed Mrs. Stornway, who had just learned it and used it more often than the occasion warranted. "He's sinister!" Since no one else has taken it upon themselves to comment upon the meeting of the worlds in an East Village cafe in New York City Saturday evening, I feel it is my duty. The meet up was designed in honor of Londonder Martin Robinson visiting, but he never ended up visiting _us_. About half of the turnout wasn't even on the list, but that sort of thing has never made much difference. The street outside the cafe became particularly interesting as Michele and Megan took the longest cigarette break in history there, save for perhaps Serge Gainsbourg's life which is possibly the longest cigarette break. In France at least. In America, the pace of life is so fast that even long cigarette breaks are shorter. Hard cider was the drink of choice amongst the crew, until a shortage in the supply caused me to switch to Guiness and toast. "A Century of Fakers" began playing in the cafe, but no one would own up to requesting it. A coincidence, but the unplanned kind. And then everything began to feel rather right in the world, if for that night only. The badges are upside down for a reason.

Sinister: and I�ve got wings ....
by Jordi Trenzano i Vilar 02 Sep '99

02 Sep '99

Hello again, wonderful kids !! Back at home from my holidays, with two exams before me, but it doesnŽt matter now. As youŽll have noticed, my subject line is taken from a Ninotchka song. DoesnŽt anyone know more releases from them, besides the 7" that Elefant released here ? "I`ve got wings" is helping me to handle my boring life, and "Green dream (Good night Scott Walker)" is also a won derful song. IŽd love to know if Grimsey Records released some Cd of them... The first thing that I know after my holidays is that the new album will be released in january, according to nme.com. But ItŽs more surprising the idea of B&S doing some kind of homage to "All you need is love". Does anyone know at l east some of the people that helped to record those song ? ThereŽs also new pictures at the sinister page, something that remind me to scan the one that I have with Arantxa, Robin and Olga. Maybe itŽs a bit late, but iŽll send it as soon to you, Nottingham people. On the second weekend of august I went to the Benicassim festival near here, and it was nice to see some B&S shirts amongst the crowd. One of them (study at Stow) belonged to Mireia, a sinisterite who I think that is still quiet in this community. Another one (a sinister one) belon ged to a basque guy with the bald head (Mr.Mill er, do you know him ?), and another one to Jesus Llorente (Well, I think it was him), the boss of the lovely Acuarela records, the label of Migala. The best bits of the festival were the gigs from Cinerama (David Gedge and Sally signed my copy of the 7" that Elefant records released recently), The Delgados, Jon Spencer and HEFN ER !! Darren is a star, absolutely. They made a competition between them to find out who makes the best rock poses, and the bass player won. The lowest points were the cancellation of the Manics and the apathetic gig from Blur. I know that only a few people will know what Im talking about, but the lovely spanish band El Niño Gusano (The worm boy) have split up. Besides the spanish guys, didnŽt anyone knew them ? they were quite similar to GorkyŽs Zigotic Mynci (and good friends also). Maybe someone answered it before, but Luna also covered "EverybodyŽs talking" at their live shows, and it was also released in a compilation that their record company released in Spain. An important question: I know itŽs quite early, but are there any plans of having another Bowlie in April ? IŽm planning to go to London, and IŽd like to know if there is the chance of having another fabulous weekend like the one that I spent there. I think that thereŽs nothing left to say. Antje, your tape will be out in two or three days, just when iŽll have finished my firsti exams. ===================================== ============= Jordiet Sinistre ================================================== Tu E-Mail Gratis en http://www.mixmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
