Sinister: Willennium Greetings
by William Messent 06 Jan '00

06 Jan '00

Happy new year everybody. How's tricks? Well I had a good time over the holiday really. Catching up with people, opening presents and that. Oh, and I have become clinically addicted to the game of backgammon. Not very rock'n'roll, but...I like it. What I don't like is that godawful version of the Rolling Stones song that those charity people released. Urgh. I'm always glad when the season is over mind you, not least because it means that all of the part-timers will get out of the bloody pub and leave the rest of us to it. It's a good job that I am a reasonably tolerant man and am willing to surrender my seat in the corner for a fortnight per year. > The top fiveis >currently Radiohead (518 votes), Marillion (285 >votes) (I'm not makingthis >up), Blur (187), The Cure (159) and Oasis (152). Hmm. I can't help but think that a certain mailing list may have been abusing the internet voting facility. Marillion fans, eh? *tch* Honestly, if you really must subvert 'the system', at least have a bit of fucking originality. I saw 'The Tube' on normal telly the other night. I thought it was bollocks, apart from our boys and girls and Macca's always good for a laugh I suppose, bless him. Chris Moyles is unpardonably oafish and that 'A-Z of Dance' was simply Not Funny At All. He said 'E'! Hahaha! I loved that song that B&S played though, I'd never heard it before. Lovely. Now we've got digital telly round at ours so I can watch MTV Base and M2 all day, excellent. I watched 'US Marshalls' with Tommy Lee Jones the other day. I mentioned this to my work colleague Ann this morning, who informed me that Tommy Lee Jones is married to Pamela Stephenson. Bloody Hell, that's news to me. Billy Connelly won't be too happy. Anyway kids, I'm off.

Sinister: rok lok! ROK LOK!
by aconover＠optonline.net 06 Jan '00

06 Jan '00

the rok lok is a local signal that us in the music scene give each other... it's like, "yeah, we're a hard loud band and you're our friend and let's YELL!" i'm not so hard, but my band is, and when i hang around with them too long i start to feel mean and just want to curse and drink, which i usually do. my new hefner record got here today. darren is an odd fellow. i hope i get used to him, because it seems like quality stuff. but what exactly did stuart m. do on this record? by the way, i mentioned this before, but no one responded: lizzie claims that the study at stow shirt is not meant to be read as an imperative, as in "study at stow or i'll break 'yer knuckles", but is simply reporting that there was a study done, like "we conducted a study on belle and sebsatian, and found that they were actually hard rockers instead of twee." i disagree. will someone help? - adam aconover(a)optonline.net Tempus Fugit is at: http://www.i2.i-2000.com/~conover/tempus/main.html +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Baptiste in the Garage.
by Simon Bell 06 Jan '00

06 Jan '00

I believe that some people may have heard of a band called Baptiste. They rock the world, or parts of it anyway. They are the first signing to the shiny new... SUPER-ANALOGUE RECORDINGS. They are playing Upstairs at the GArage (London) Thursday 13th January, and people who wear their badges upside down are particularly welcome, because they are sweet. Does anyone else have a problem that leads them to always type the letter 'A' as a capital when it follows another capital. If so perhaps this could bring us closer together. If you would like a cheap discount flyer for this event please email privately. It's like a secret, you know. The millennium bug made the batteries run out in my torch and Belle & Sebastian to be on a fuzzy Channel 4. I must say I like the bodyparts page, its much better than those sweets of the same name. Except for the chest. Sorry. Love Simon Allstar. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Greetings from Denmark
by John Hyllegaard 06 Jan '00

06 Jan '00

Yes... I'm the new member, coming from this little funny country in the heart of Scandinavia. How I spent my new year's eve, night and morning I've neartly forgot, but I remember a lot of music (sadly not B&S), loads of light and this wonderful homemade icecream around midnight. Came home 9 am in a taxi, and sadly to say... not with an angel!! I hope the new millenium will bring more focus on B&S in Denmark...the critics have no doubt about the quality, but when you're from a country where Aqua is top of the pops... what can you expect? I got the Tube show recorded by a friend in England and I reciewed it just before Christmas... I couldn't find out if it was the "TV-advertising show of the year" or a music programme... Well; The new song was really OK, and I'm looking forward to the day when my B&S collection climbs up to eight.

Sinister: ugh. january dull. can only talk like cave person.
by kitten mouse 06 Jan '00

06 Jan '00

hi kids, hope everyone had a super new year. today was the first day i read my little sinister digest email since before xmas. just didn't have the energy to read all those emails. didn't even get out of the house for new years, just watched it all on tv. ugh. start up with my radio shew next week again. hopefully we'll be on the web soon, so i can embarass myself with my dull, repetitive taste in music and horrible meandering dj style in front of a whole new, international audience on the internet. promise me at least of few of you will listen in sometimes, eh? it'll be really inconvenient timing for those in england and etc (9 pm Pacific Time works out to be something like 5 am in the UK and France, I think). but maybe being on the web will make it a better show, because then people can email me with their requests and i'll be forced to learn about new more obscure but nice music that i hadn't heard before. like kahimi karie or something. she's weird. but interesting. anyway, gotta go. running down to reading frenzy to get my horrible unsold (most likely) drypoint etchings i had there during the december cheap art bazaar. good luck in the new school semester, to all you kooky students, btw. maybe i'll see you on jeepster chat sometime. i go there when i get bored of tv. sincerely, andrea kittenmouse radio (mondays 9.00-10.00 pm PST) kpsu 1450 am portland, oregon kittenmouse(a)hotmail.com www.kpsu.org can't look at the sky without looking right thru it ______________________________________________________ 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)majordomo.net".

Sinister: My gift to you - no catches - so you can bask in it's majesty
by Tom Lennox 06 Jan '00

06 Jan '00

Just sitting back here in my old childhood room relaxing to John Peel (Visions Of Johanna is sounding very contemporary indeed) but really I can't say I have anything to relax from as I've been sitting here all day - give or take the odd 20 minutes of pacing around or chewing on bits of food - and all yesterday and the 2 days before that sat here too. Which is kind of depressing. So I could write my essay, but it was more amusing to write fantasy deaths for all my friends so I did that instead and besides they had it coming dumping me here alone whilst they all skipped back to university early. I should keep a diary or soemthing cause then you wouldn't have to indure all my gripes and woes. But I don't. And now playing, Nick Drake - very nice I bet alot of you enjoyed this choice... so obvious aren't you, good ol' wholesome Peel knows just how to press all your buttons. And now I'm the master in the art of allusion thanks to Steve Kado, which freaked me cause it made me realise that you can just write something throwaway and somebody else will keep that bit in their mind when it's long gone out of your mind. But I was REALLY freaked out cause I was wearing cords at the time and the chances of that in my wardrobe must be minimal if not less so , so from now on always write stuff like it flows out of your mouth, like reams of vomit and if you stop to think what you're gonna say next then you're probably not listening to what I'm saying. You can check back on your mails afterwards yeah sure and thank the Nesmith family for the gift of Tippex. This paragraph may be pondered in your own times. Bored. Bored. So bored. "Bored people are boring" says my Gran, the alive one naturally and maybe she's right, but she bores me and she should stick to the racist ad-libs like my grandad cause at least there's always the possiblity that if the wrong person hears the old man turning red over "goddam niggers and wops" they might just smack him in public and I get to laugh at the fact that someone has finally got him back for all these years of bigotry I've had to endure. Oh my pain. La-la. I know that grandparents sentance was all really horrible in so many ways but sometimes I get like this when I don't get enough oxygen from the pure source of the air I breath. Happy lovely thoughts. Back to being happy. Anybody got any cool ideas for things I could do with myself? Arson? Petty-theft? Wantant vandilism and destruction? Or perhaps I could just cruise the school gates? Tigermilk? Well maybe some other day. Mark your sealed down envelopes with: `Kix for Tom` and wing them this way. Frustration seathes thru my brittle bones but I wish you nothing but love dear listees Tom +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: she said she's an angel.... that's not a woman at all
by Corpora Arenacea 05 Jan '00

05 Jan '00

And I thought I was the only person in the known universe who liked "Can't Hardly Wait." I watched it in a theater on a military base. I wasn't thinking, so at the start of the movie, I saw Whitney Houston come on screen and start her version of the "Star Spangled Banner". I thought it was a promo for something, so I just slumped lower in my seat. Then about thirty seconds in, I looked around and noticed that the whole theater was standing at attention, hands on hearts.... and glaring at me like I was Sacco and Guevara. Now, I couldn't just get up in the middle, and you know how Whitney's version is.... fucking like a full 7 minutes and 42 seconds of melisma and quote-unfuckingquote soul. Not a highlight. I'm surprised they didn't string up my pinko ass during the intermission. I heard today my brother got laid on New Year's Eve. I did not. This is in direct contrast to last century, when I had all the sex and my brother did not. I hope this is not the start of a nasty trend. Instead, I walked from one end of London to the other. I couldn't find my friends, so I was all alone. Single men in glamourous fur coats were apparently in short supply, as I got kissed by more girls than in the whole rest of my life combined. And because I was all alone, I played an angel game, too. I made like I was the angel of death, stalking the streets of London, and that every girl I kissed would die in the next twenty four hours. Eventually I started kissing some guys, too, just to even it up a bit. I'm back in Washington now. Siiigh. Hello to all the kind people we met in the Poetry Cafe. For once I got to be the good cop. Hope I wasn't too speeded up by the eight cups of coffee I drank before getting up to introduce myself. Love you all. Happy New Year. -Eran ______________________________________________________ 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)majordomo.net".

Sinister: 4 hardcore Velvet Underground fans
by Curtis Heath 05 Jan '00

05 Jan '00

I too bought the new Beck... and it's damn good, but... did any one notice that "Beautiful Way" is the Velvet Underground's "Countess From Hong Kong" with different lyrics? It's sampled straight from the Velvets... but the liner notes state "guitar, drums, bass, and harmonica by Beck Hansen." Is anything sacred? Beck "Puffy" Hansen's a loser. So why don't we kill him? LYCOShop is now open.

Sinister: new year's vultures 'round mi'night
by Robyn Fadden 05 Jan '00

05 Jan '00

hello soo-pear kids, new Beck album, I echo the yaaaay of zoe, for this album was kind of a new year's theme. "hot milk, tweak my nipple, champagne and ripple." etc, etc shouted across the Vancouver scene, whispered in unsuspecting stranger's ears, told to hotel security guards, you know, it was all about that and flashing lights and blurred vision and losing things in all the many pockets I had (pockets are good, but too many pockets=confusion&much groping). Maybe we were obnoxious all night, maybe we were soo-pear ool-traa cool. mm. fun though. really interesting to feel the glee in the room when the clock struck 12:00 12:00 12:00. I never made a big deal out of millenial fever, didn't fill my bathtub just in case before leaving the house, maybe had a long-forgotten can of chili around, but it would have been cat food for me had the world ended. Which we all knew it wouldn't. But anyway, despite all this and maybe it was all the strangers around me at a crashed party, I felt at midnight a kind of child-like wonder and excitement, like everyone in the room went suddenly twee. Fleeting, of course, but a sweet moment absent of cynicism. I've seen a lot of movies lately, what with the rain and holidays, but won't bore you lot with all that. Okay, I will (scroll on scroll on). Just saw "Magnolia" last night. Ooh, so good. I saw the late show and wasn't home until 2 a.m. (it's a 3+ hr movie) and my thoughts were running so fast I couldn't fall asleep for a while. Which is good, but not so good when you have to work at 9 a.m... It's all interconnections and convergence and the meaning of life really. And more. Very emotional. Lots of good music too (directed/written by Paul Thomas Anderson, the same person who did Boogie Nights.) Also: "Six Ways to Sunday" on video - It's like a smallish-town-Ohio, Jewish "Goodfellas" with an Oedipal twist. It's good stuff, really. Also saw a double-bill of "Bringing Out the Dead" and "Taxi Driver" - oh yeah. Bringing out the dead made barely a blip when it came out - I don't know why b/c it's damn good. And Nicholas Cage even has a few Raising Arizona moments (the crazy ones, but his hair isn't quite as good as it was back then.) And Taxi Driver, well, that just goes w/o saying. See it on the big screen, see it. Rented a Canadian film called "Cube", which was strange and nightmarish, about people who wake up to find themselves trapped in this cube connected to other cubes, some booby trapped, some not, and they try to find their way out, and, human nature being what it is, trouble ensues... Yeah, so btwn all these movies (oh, there are more) and this weird chest/head cold i've had for over a week and the whole millenium thing, reality is all skewed as usual, but the different thing is that it's okay really. took me a while to get to this, but really, i'm not going to worry about the whole what's reality what's not thing anymore. I mean, I always did pay my bills late; now I have a better excuse. stoppingnow. velcro shoes and the coolsounds they make: i like my velcro shoes and the coolsounds they make.

Sinister: Is it getting heavy?
by Alasdair Cook MC1996 05 Jan '00

05 Jan '00

Yeah, it's bluddy (Jen, you're right) pissing it down. Clouds are light, but you still can't lift them. A happy new year to you all. So, down to list abuse business. Unfortunately for some, I'm coming down to dear old London town for this here Tigermilking thing, so as not to make Mark cry. What it is though, you see, is that I'll be arriving at 7 in the blinkin morning on Friday with a whole day to kill (and hopefully some neurons) before the event actually, as it were, happens. So what I would very much like though probably won't get are people who have Friday free and would perhaps like to have lunch/dinner/drink lots/generally amble, or all of the above. If you'd like to do this (though God only knows why you would) please (PLEASE) phone me today or tomorrow on 0141 956 6132 or from Friday on 07989 086204. If, as I expect, I receive no calls then I'll be wandering around trying to find an Our Price to spend my Christmas voucher in. Excitement, he wrote. Anyway, Hogmanay was quite good as they go, although I realised that I don't want to be a girl after kissing a man with too much facial hair and getting a sore face. I also met a bonkers old Irish woman who was a teacher and upon being asked what she taught replied "fucking children". Which is a good answer, although I feel obliged to worry ever so slightly about the double meaning inferred therein. My, that Sinister switch was something wasn't it, the way Honey just magicked it away from somewhere to somewhere else in the blink of an eye, without us even knowing. A bit like in Star Trek, where they transport people on to the Holodeck then put them somewhere else, and they're so stupid they don't even know that the brilliant technology of the 23rd century has turned them over and no mistake, chuck. As Debbie McGee has probably never said while under the duvet, "That's magic!". For some reason yesterday I ended up playing Mogwai's 'Burn Girl Prom Queen' to my 80 year old Grandpa, I think because it's got a brass band in it. His review was surprisingly good, he said it was "quite interesting, kind of hypnotic". Mind you, he's already cool, for previously mentioned reasons. Must dash and make some cash. Bye.
