Sinister: ooh, steven mackintosh, luvverrly
by rachel tucker 12 Jan '00

12 Jan '00

ohmygod someone on sinister mentioned steven mackintosh ALERT ALERT PATHETIC OBSESSION ON THE HORIZON steven mackintosh has become the stuart murdoch of british acting for me i.e a complete idol who i love and would almost forfeit seeing oxford united at wembley to meet ( and we're only 3 games away from the auto-twiddly final!! i can't contain the excitement!! ). unbelievebly this is almost solely based on his role in 'undercover heart' alongside daniela nardini (sorry non- uk dwellers, feel free to delete), and i have made next to no effort to hunt out the rest of his work. mind you he was also tres good and shifty in some series about this couple adopting a kid from eastern europe. i think it was called 'bad blood'. it was cool. ok, outpour over, you can come back now. i'm off to see primal scream on sunday!! yay, i can't wait! and i know this is list abuse, but i have two requests of anyone in the oxford area: - if anyone's going to see the primals at the zodiac do you want to meet up? - go see the samurai seven at the zodiac on saturday cos they're luvverrly. also, if anyone knows aberdeen or glasgow well, either the cities or the universities, could you mail me privately please? not only do i have to sort my life and university applications out over the summer (a long way off i know, but i'm trying to avoid thinking about the exams, and rather more about my life after this summer), but me and my best mate are going on holiday there in march. any reccommendations would be gratefully received. just to add a point to the new music discussion: i don't care if a band are 'original' or not if i like them. there are plenty of qualities in music that appeal to me such as lyrics, emotion, tone, voice, catchiness (i.e britney spears) etc., and 'cutting edge' can refer to varying aspects. you could argue stuart murdoch has a 'cutting edge' voice if you take my mum's point of view: how can those poor band members cope with listening to that awful off-key drone all day? he shouldn't even be allowed to sing in his shower...etc. anyway MUST go revise for stats a-level module on friday. i have been saying that all day but i mean it this time.... lots of love rachel xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)missprint.org".

Sinister: Mop-top Mamas
by xstensionchord＠webtv.net 12 Jan '00

I am glad many reconstructed Pop's image on these lovely electric letters, in response to my "pissed off post" about Beck's criticism. My main point was and is, Pop music was created for the masses. It is run by tons of promoters and executives (ALL of who's focus is SALES) who don't even have a clear notion of the physics of music, but focus on the 'Tao of Business'. We have such wonderful modern bands like B&S, Pavement, and The Smiths as testaments to their personal reactions to the traditional pop scene. The traditional pop scene starting in the 50's til (enter your scientific/critic-laden date here) This is why you hear the words Elvis, Beatles (I speak of only there early work), , Led Zepplin and all other famous white men doing what black men have done behind the scenes, being cited as influences. This happens because of purely the packaging it's put in. World-wide there could be dozens of guys singing out the most heart felt and beautiful cries in their garages on a cheap mic, but they aren't seen as heroes or influences. MY POINT-- Pop Music cannot be fully debated and defended since it's roots are in money and the blooming media. It's based in luxuries not necessities. Misinterpret this post as you wish. " Being cynical went out a decade ago, Humor just shows what I'm hiding, so therefore I take the road of a confessed romantic.

Sinister: Shop Now/Riot Later
by David Moore 12 Jan '00

12 Jan '00

Hi Seed of Onan, Steady Mike spoke eloquently (as always) about newness in music: I'm not clever enough to join in a discussion with the likes of him, Mr Pinefox, The Duke Of Harangue, et al but a comment on the Go-Kart Mozart album (B&S context via Stuart M's T-shirt). (Sample lyrics: In a Rotterdam cell Genet & me get on well He puts his hands on my knee He wants to sodomize me!!! I'm a sailor boy Sailor Boy) I've listened to this record 3 or 4 times now & its still amusing (though I admit that this may not last) and I also admire the way that Lawrence has a P!O!P at everybody & everything regardless of whether its PC or not. There's even tragedy to complement the comedy: that "Right. Is that it? You get one fucking chance & that's what you give me. Fucking children's story. That's it. I've had enough " bit in Mrs Back-To-Front, etc. sounds a bit too bitter, nay heartFelt to be a joke. There again, Lou Reed doing The Barron Knights in a 90's stylee may not be everybody's cup of Sainsbury's Red Label. Perhaps you have to think of it more as Lawrence *Denim's* new pop construction. Oops - scroll box appears.

Sinister: the wheels of the bus go round and round...
by Angel Blackwell 12 Jan '00

12 Jan '00

k, I have a question to put to you little sinister boys, girls, undecided. When, in winter, you get on the bus and are all wrapped up in cardies, doctor who scarves, and bums padded with corduroy (sp?) why is it that the bus is 40000 degrees??? Maybe this is just a Toronto occurrence, but since everyone is already prepared for the weather, shouldn't the person seated closest to the door, ie. the bus driver, be dressed for the cold as well? Hmmm...in wanking news...without drummer though...anyone seen the rude new twoonie? We have this coin now with an Inuit, a stick, and a round thing. It looks more like he's banging the earth...quite impressive though, being hung like a planet I guess, eh? Oh well, back to sucking corporate dick... angel blackwell ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)missprint.org".

Sinister: I Tiresias
by David Moore 12 Jan '00

12 Jan '00

Hi Top Shelf Fans, Michele & Martin can nag me all they like, but the threat of The Enforcer holds no terror for me, as Damon is a scholar as well as a gentleman, and having studied his Eliot, knows the third part of The Waste Land well. So we have reached an agreement about the absolute necessity of sparing the world a sight of the Moore bosom. You'll have to content yourself with sniggering at the 70's pornstar moustache on the As We Were page :) I know there's no relevance to Belle & Sebastian in this, but at least its short :) Wear Your Foghat With Pride, David Moore Chelmsford, UK +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)missprint.org".

Sinister: German Sheisse Videos
by Walkn10＠aol.com 12 Jan '00

My band was played on the radio today! Zoinks! It felt totally weird to hear us on the radio, but in a very good way. It makes me feel like I've actually done something pretty good, but in an odd way if we ever have to play that song again it'll feel like I'm playing a cover. I'll get over that. Its a great motivator I must say... I remember along time ago someone said that the sitar was the all-time worst instrument to hear on an album, but after much thought I must disagree. The instrument that makes my skin crawl the absolute most is the alto-saxophone. YE GADS I CANNOT STAND IT! "Listen to What the Man Says" is only song that it sounds halfway decent on, and thats even pushing it. It just screams old guy, Kenny G, "I'm trying to sound mature" vibes. It also makes every song sound like it's meant to be played in a dentist's office for some reason. I hate it very much. If I ever hear it again, it'll be too soon. Speaking of soft rock crap, does anyone else hear where Michael Bolton got his start in "The Long and Winding Road"? I love that song as much as the next guy, but I can't help feeling it somehow spawned a demon. Dick Colburn getting wanked? Is this a new "wank the drummer" trend or is he suave like that? Wow, on camera no less... Back to bed Steve C. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* "Which Paul?"

Sinister: the traditional W
by The Narrow Wizard 12 Jan '00

12 Jan '00

was most intrigued by the traditional W, not sure if it really can be wanking cos its more traditional to do that to yourself than to get others to do it (though maybe I should become a drummer and that would change things). Anyway what it really got me thinking of was our old friend the remote wanker, I think remote wanking should be brought back as a sinister hobby and as the first phase of my plan I am currently remote wanking the guy opposite me in the computer lab, oh dear he appears to be smiling a lot now, it must really work. Oh and while I'm bringing back the old sinister passtime I would like to make one other change to sinister, from now on nobody is allowed to talk about the tube appearance cos my video recorder broke and so i haven't seen it and it doesn't look like I'm going to get to see it, BOO HOO! anyway I'm off for a traditional D now (answers on a postcard please) so I'll speak to you all in February unless I decide to write again later this week. bye bye my little chickens owen With that the narrow wizard waggled his bushy eyebrows and disappeared in a flash of blue flame leaving behind only a faint smell of cinnamon +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)missprint.org".

Sinister: revisionist wank
by mike windisch 12 Jan '00

12 Jan '00

not that it's entirely relevant, but perhaps this whole manual servicing of percussionists stems from the fact that their own god-given wanking limbs are filled with drumsticks. here's to the hope of ample rim-shots on the next b&s release; and while I'm at how's about some more harmonica. at any rate, the only thing that I can think to say to end this post is that after my conversion this new year's I can no longer classify that original genius Stuart Murdoch as anything other than a warbling puss. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)missprint.org".
