Sinister: JetBoyStarGirlPunkSpaceBand

This is gonna be shorter than the instrumental section of a melt banana song, 'cos I posted, like, six posts ago, but I have internet access only this hour in the next three days, my mum had a major schitz-out and stole my keyboard, and now refuses to return it. So, yeah. [Erotic Erica] >Lots and lots of very true things, including... >I thought Julie B was rather on-point there actually. >She's not saying you can't enjoy it, she's saying don't try to >understand it, don't pick it apart and poke at it. >Most of my pop dreams were over by the end of Primary School - my friends >all decided they liked Nivarana and Guns and Roses because their sweaty >sisters did, so it was byebye TakeThat wristbands, Hello Skull Bandana. But I'm actually totally agreeing with this here. I'm not disagreeing with the sentiment, if it is indeed what you say it is and not "leave shiny, fluffy music in the territory of teenagers" as in "Don't just not take it apart but infact actively shun it". What I'm objecting to is the use of the word "teenagers". The last chart pop band I liked before my D&C ephiphany were Alisha's Attic, I must have been, what, 12? From there it was Pulp, then B&S, then Mogwai and so on... I'd think it'd be the same for most people here. How many people have never told their friends that they hate Destiny's Child/The Spice Girls/Alisha's Attic/Whatever else that's pop and fantastic and number one when they were 13-19? I bet even BaxendTim did it at somepoint. By teenagers, Burchill means eight to thirteen year olds, and that's what so offends me. Also... amihotornot.com totally changes your world view, doesn't it? Don't you find yourself looking at all your friends, and trying to imagine how thousands of horny 13-year-old boys would rate them out of ten? I do, and it's tragic, I need some more attractive friends. Was it Steven Kado who said "something... corridors... something... Me: 10, Chan Marshall from Cat Power: 9, everyone else: -47624."? I will feel stupid if it wasn't. I had the most insane conversation today with the girlfriend of one of my ugly mates, which went: Her - What's that on your blazer? Me - It's a Belle & Sebastian sew-on patch... Her - Ah, right, Belle & Sebastian, cool... *Looks at my other badges* Oh my god, Daphne and Celeste, that's SO COOL! Can I borrow that? Pwease? Me - Naaah, but you can have this official D&C fanclub stick-on tattoo... *I remove from bag, give to her* Her - *Runs to bathroom, applies tattoo to cheek, returns* Yeah, I LOVE Daphne & Celeste, I threw bottles at them at Reading! And my boyfriend's tall, so he could actually hit them! It was SO COOL! They rocked! Truth is indeed stanger than fiction. This is the only explanation for the fact that my grandfather's just called me accross the house on the special emergency chiming machine to tell me to go and check that my father remembered to bring him a banana. I mean, surely he'd know? With all this talk of family relations, this is becoming a Pauline L. Shivers post, hmmm, where is she lately? And whatever happened to Andreas Johnson, whom I have been repeatedly told I look like the nonexistant younger brother of? Or the peccadiloes, whose 'Caught on Venus' album was quite good, in a kind of Buzzcocks + Electro Squishy Noises way? With these questions I depart. ---------- Go! Roku! sEven! eiGht!

Tomorrow i have an important genetics-test, and i havn't studied a bit yet.

Sinister: The Discrete Index of Lonely Days
by Edna Welthorpe, Mrs 07 Dec '00

07 Dec '00

A/ Ally96 has returned to Scotland, and London is a poorer place. He emerged from his specially-sealed time capsule in the year 1996 to warble: "Pinefox on the beach, pinefox making women gasp". And we wondered to ourselves : what could the Pinefox possibly have been up to? We can only imagine it refers to the sight of the Pinefox in Shorts that graced Camber Sands earlier this year. There is possibly evidence of this on Mr Carslimes picture page. Yes, ladies, he IS still available. B/ Bow, Shiva take a, Shiva take a The strangest bit of actual content has come to our attention. Older readers may remember Sushil Dade, who was once a Soup Dragon and is now a driving instructor and a Future Pilot. His new cd, on Big Steve Pastels new label, is a charming mixture of Glaswegian geetar classicism and Indian devotional music, and blow us if that isnt Mad Dog Murdoch, on a track that translates as Bow down to Shiva", chanting away like George Harrison in his prime for over ten minutes! And thats not all, cos C/ Content (continued) Isobel is on there too, crooning along with Katrina Mitchell and Mrs Future Pilot. Its all very lovely. Theres even a track featuring what sounds like Aunt Sadie belting out "Beautiful Dreamer". We suggest you investigate, forthwith. D/ Dr Who Sarah Garret Sonner crashlanded into our list of top ten posters the other day. Among other things she mentioned how Tom Baker refers to himself as "the ultimate Dr Who", which is peculiar as we had the misfortune to hear Jon Pertwees Christmas single recently, and he also refers to himself as the ultimate Doctor. They cant both be right. We personally side with Pertwee, not only for his dandyism, but also because his surname suggests he is both pert and twee, a combination we find irresistable. E-F/ Examine Foxgloves Hoo hoo! If youre a lumberjack at a loose end, why not pop along to www.chickfactor.com where the photographs of Queen Gail OHara are currently appearing in a ghostly fashion. If you get three pictures of Foxgloves 1 in a row, apparently, you win an evening out for two in the Muji store of your choice. G/ Gorey, Edward Sarah GS also mentioned Edward Gorey, a couple of whose books are being republished for the festive market and would make ideal stocking-fillers for the morbid fantasist in your life. We recently discovered that Mr Gorey roomed at college with the happy-go-lucky New York poet Frank OHara, a notion which boggles our poor noggins. H/ Hewitt, Stephen mentioned the cover version the Genteel Daves did at the close of their set the other day. Supposedly called "and the beat goes on" the one goes that goes "la da dee da da, la dee dee dee dee" that isnt that one about the homeless lady. Somebody, possibly Mark Casarotto, claimed that this was a Sonny and Cher b-side, but this sounds dubious to us. Who can put us right? I/ Isobel Campbell Words cannot properly express how impressed we were with the Mental Lathes the other night. The arrangements were all lovely and Isobel sang very nicely, and well we were quite charmed by the whole thing. One point of contention, however: with her new longer hair, does Ms Campbell still qualify as a "gamine"? And how does one define a gamine, anyway? Elucidation, please. J/ Jackson, Stevie As Julie coyly hinted the other day, we also had the pleasure of sharing a urinal trough with Stevie J that night. We didnt peek. But we think that he might have. K/ Kado, Steve said "by the way, if anyone wants to help me understand later wittgenstein's thought with an eye towards what would make a good/useful essay...and if you can work Mikail Bahktin into it too, that would be so rad." The world, mused Ludwig, is all that the case is Mikail thought this a discouraging basis Preferring the charms of the dialogical, The carnivalesque and the scatalogical. L/ Love, Oscar from our Dublin brother magazine, Blather, kindly donated that last poem. M/ Miller, Peter mentioned the film of Charlies Angels, which is quite entertaining, and makes one want to learn kung fu, and answers the question of what Crispin Glover is up to these days. Strangely, it is a rare example of a pretty good film in which Bill Murrary is pretty bad, when the opposite is usually the case. We give it 7/10. Only two films have scored better this year. We will leave you to speculate what they were. N/ Nou Camp Peter also advised Jordi not to pretend to be a cat in the Nou Camp stadium. Which is sage advice;. the last person to pretend to be a cat in a football stadium was Peter "The Cat" Bonnetti in 1970. And look what happened to him. O/ Owl, jen Said "I just gave him a bog frown" and we wondered what she could possibly mean. Is it like a brown study? P-Q/ Pop Quiz! Ally96 scurrilously mentioned people nicking poems to put in their pop lyrics. Can you name the pop songs and poems these words appeared in? The first person to mail us privately with the correct answer wins a mystery prize. 1) She walks in beauty like the night 2) Twilight turns to amethyst, then deep and deeper blue 3) Butterflies with gilded wings R/ Runion, Philip Used the expression they knocked boots until the sun came up" in a lewd fashion with reference to an Isobel Campbell song. Bravo. S/ Select magazine is dead, apparently. We shed a quiet tear. It has been terrible for ages, of course, but of all the UK music mags it had seemed to be nicest about B&S. And of course it did that 5-page feature on 200 hundred troubled teenagers a couple of years ago, and featured an interview with the dear departed Duke of Harringay. Talking of which, Tangents looks like it is dead at the moment too. Is the flame of P!O!P! to be so easily extinguished? T/ Twee interlude A wee kitten is playing with a ball of knitting wool and getting in a frightful tangle. U/ Um V/ V-twin Did anyone go and watch them being filmed the other night? Did they turn on the charm for the cameras, those loveable rogues? W/ Wells, Bill What a cool-looking troupe! They have a member who looks like Catweasel, another who looks one of those scary potato men out of Dr Who and a gamine flautist who looks a bit Amelia Fletcher - all in the same band! You cant say that about many groups - except Sportique, of course. X/ XFMAS Hmmm. Does anyone else remember when the Sheepster staff were leading the fight against the great Satan that is the evil XFM corporation, way back when? Or did we dream it? And why does no one on this list talk about the Fortuna Pop Christmas lp which came out this month, and features the Ailsa Set! Saloon! And the Pines! Y/ Year end polls People always send these to the list in December and it can get a little tiresome. Can some eager beaver step forward to compile the End of Year 2000 Sinister top ten singles/crushes/greatest wanks etc? If no one wants to volunteer we dont mind doing it ourselves, but we cant guarantee impartiality. Compared to us, Jed Bush is one honest injun.

Sinister: Older Gets
by garymaher＠juno.com 07 Dec '00

07 Dec '00

Erm, I mean "getting old". (Americans who say Erm are posers. I am American. Go figure.) On Wed, 6 Dec 2000 23:04:49 GMT owner-sinister-digest(a)missprint.org (sinister-digest) writes: > From: Vanessa Roseline Siegl <vanessa.siegl(a)uibk.ac.at> > Johan wrote about getting old and not being able to get into new music anymore. My experience with this is that it's about time and priorities. When I was a boy, I could ride my bike to the record shop after school and spend a couple of hours browsing and listening. I'd pick out a record or two, ride home and lie in bed staring at the artwork, reading the lyrics and liner notes and listening for the entire 40 minutes (for that was the standard length of the LP record, RIP). This continued straight through college, where I was a happy-go-lucky goof off with plenty of time to kill. Law school (yes, I am a Legal Man) sucked up much of the time I had previously devoted to listening to music (although I stuck with the band thing half way through school). But work -- that was the last bullet in the coffin. Once my career got in gear, I barely had time to listen to the music I knew, much less keep up with new music. Fortunately, I realized this after a year or two and made the effort -- brought a radio to work and listened whenever I could and started buying things I thought I'd like. A couple of years later, this internet thingy came along and I started learning about mysterious groups from people who liked other groups I was into. Now I'm into lots of new music, even some of the stuff you hear on the radio, but mostly "obscure" (to most people) power pop and slo-core type stuff. The moral of the story is that I don't think it's your age itself that hinders your ability to keep up with new music -- I think it's an issue of having to make the effort where before it just came naturally. At least, it was for me! So make the effort already -- there's plenty of great stuff out there! g +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Happy Christmas your arse, I pray God it's our last...
by Gardiner, Stuart 07 Dec '00

Greg fantasized: > Someone said that L!I!S!A! and Christiaaaaaaaaan should be togethor, maaaan, and someone should come in to wipe the walls clean, well this is true. They could even join in, I think they'd both enjoy that. My qualifications for this job are in the mail. I think he should get a job as an astronaut. Apparently NASA have been doing experiments on whether it was possible to have sex in space. And they discovered it was easier when they got a third person to hold the other two in place. I bet the other astronauts were gutted they didn't get assigned to that mission... (He also said that the Sugarbabes were good, and he shall be shot at dawn) My, Belle and Sebastian (*) are getting famous aren't they? In town the other day I heard a group of buskers doing a cover of "O Come O Come Emmanuel"... (*) I still believe in using the band's full name, you see, not just B&S. I can't be seen liking a band whose name is short for Buggery and Sodomy. Am I up to 5 chilli peppers yet? I'd better just throw a few more random sexual references in to make sure. Vagina, bollocks, cunnilingus, Princess Honey in a see-through dress. There, that should do the trick... Can I be the first person on the list to wish you all a happy Easter?

Sinister: big scarves,small parks and red bull......
by Desmond Torpey 07 Dec '00

....hello all you shiny sinister people...forgive me if this post rambles but its midnight and i'm a wee bit tipsy to be truthful... (pulls a face of shame).... ...er...anyway....a few things that have come up in the posts that i thought i would stick my unwelcome oar in..... 1) tom baker: ...i've only ever watched doctor who once in my life and i seem to recall something about lizard men and big laser. Does this happen in every episode? Anyway...surely tom baker deserves the title of best everest doctor who for his HUGE scarf....i mean come on....its at least six feet long and its multicoulured!....i admit i have something of a long scarf fetish....am i alone in this?....the sight of a lovely girl in a long colourful scarf makes me go all wibbly at the knees....maybe its just me.....and not that i fancy tom baker....his face is too lumpy...am i rambling?...anyway...onto the next point! stay with me here people! pleaase..... 2) Red Bull and vodka: errrrrggghhh....i had a horrible experience involving this combination about a year ago...the first time i ever went to a nightclub...i guzzled this all night and promptly collapsed in a vomitous pool about midnight....ew....one sniff of this ghastly drink makes me gag...shame really because i enjoyed drinking it at the time.....obviously.... 3) First B+S record: ...i think its true that the first album you hear will forever be your favourite....tigermilk is mine....i remeber listining to 'we rule the school' for the first time in a little park on a really sunny day whilst a lovely girl rested her head on my shoulder...ah memories.....and why can nobody get into IYFS? its woooooooooooonderful!!! mayfly and judy + the dream of horses are two of my favourite b+s songs....there are probably loads of people who love it actually...i'm just being presumptious...is that the right word?....hmmmmmm.... erm...thats probaly about it....thank you for your time people...should i make these posts longer?...or is it easier to read in small,more frequent bits? please tell me cos i dont like to annoy anyone by plauging you every few days when once every tow weeks would be better....would that make me a lurker?...ooooooh i dont know these answers....i'm going to rest my weary head on a cloud.... ta ta.... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Pah-ra-pa-pum-pum
by Robert Brennan 06 Dec '00

06 Dec '00

Hello. I've been trying to compose an intricate and hilarious post for ages but I've given up and decided to inflict the usual aimless ramblings upon you... I got my copy of "Its a Cool Cool Xmas" - Grandaddy's opener takes some beating but then The Sophtware Slump takes some beating as album of the year (apart from maybe The Great Eastern) - feel free to disagree with me on this. Oh yeah and the Dandy Warhols turn in an infectious makes-you-want-to-jump-up-and-down-forever tune as they often do. And some band called Belle & Sebastian contribute a nice song too. Talking of Xmas: I try to enjoy it but it can get a wee bit depressing if you're a resident of singlesville. Ah well... at least nobody minds if you're hopelessly drunk at this time of year. It's recently occurred to me that I've been on the list for about a year now. I haven't regretted a second since I joined and I love each and every one of you grate twee/non-twee kids. Yeah, even you: The one reading this thinking "he can't mean me". Thanks for creating such a fantastic place, Honey. Here's to all the posts/gigs/picnics/crushes of tomorrow. *Robster* Looking forward to the vague possiblity of a new album and - hey? - maybe even a tour in 2001?

orange peok tea and carrot cake do not make for a quiet evening...oh wait its morning ...haha. creeps in like an old shoe horn on withiered leather soles. well this is dirty dream post #2. part two of joes ceoreous jorney through the rabbit hole and into wonderland....a dream sequel if you will! hammonton oh hammonton. so long away are you. and its even worse coming back. actually hammonton sucks. it just looks real nice. and the real reason me and george went there was to work. night jobs. gotta love em. any how. tis morn' now and the early dawn breaks away the night sky. continuos. systematic. hypnotic. pavement movineg under four black rubber tires at 70 mph. aross bridges and marshes(they arnt so kind on the nose as they are on the tounge!) throught tolls and street lights. passing cars with one glimmering headlight. im not sure witch it was but it all pulled me back into my strange sleep..... half awake listening to the local college radio(wprb prinston. yes. prinston university is in new jersey!) i managed to fool george into thinking i was still contious. i turned my head away from him twords the road. (hint: dont ever stare directly at a moving road becuase it will make you dream all funny.) so from staring at the road i went directly to sleep. dream #2: i am in a crowd. what looks to be a theater. then its clear. its the opening to the D&D movie. everyone was dressed up like D&D charicters and hovering around me. of course i was not in a costume or waring a funny cape ect...ect...then out of the crowd i see my other work mates, tim and mike. they begin to conversat with me about what i do not know. then i hear a familar giggle from the consetion stand. this is the movies where my girlfiend works! tim then says "isnt that your girlfriend kissing that guy over their?" now this is odd i know but i felt the blood leave my body and as that happend i was the only one left standing in the theater. then every one came back instantly. as i walked over to where the two were kissing..........bang creeeeeek bumbubumbum."joe. wake up, we're back at the shop." strange dreams. i just wonder if like the first, it will come true. (eery laghing in backround) but before passing out i did hear upon the radio that GYBE show in hoboken(thats where yo la tengo is from) is sold out. content. none what so ever. joe. t o m h w a e l n +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Gentle Waves, getting older, snow
by Vanessa Roseline Siegl 06 Dec '00

06 Dec '00

To everybody getting to see the Gentle Waves .. I am somewhat jealous ... I enjoyed "Green Fields ..." enormously ... Might be a while till I'll get the new one ... I have only heard one of it so far "Sisterwoman"? .. which is nice indeed. .. (ok that is cheating to put that in the subject line; right?) Johan wrote about getting old and not being able to get into new music anymore Surprisingly ... I still do once in a while ... when I discover something that really hits me in the heart (that sounds corny but who cares ... I am the queen of corniness anyway) Not sure it happens less often or more often than it did when I was young but it still does ... However I did discover this summer that a lot of things just excite me _LESS_- I don't listen to music that much anymore ... A lot of record I rated highly only a few years ago mean little to me now and I impatiently skip half of the songs Others stand the test of time and when I get them out I rediscover how good they are. But in general lately I have been lacking enthusiasm ... Edna: >1) She walks in beauty like the night Is that Suede? I'd say Dark Star but I could be horribly wrong ... It _is_ Suede, though, right?? People writing about how much they like snow Winter has _always_ been horrible for me ... in some way I equal physical cold with emotional cold .... (as a four year old kid I would always pester my parents about when spring would arrive. "Soon" "Yeah but when is soon??" ----"Soon") My dream is to move away to a place with milder climates one day ..... So far it isn't as bad for this time of the year .... It's around 15 degrees (celsius) and even in the mountains there is not much snow. A friend of mine who lives in Paris right now keeps asking me if it has finally snowed and I tell him I am glad it hasn't ... maybe I should pretend to like snow just for him ... but I don't It's just cold ... and wet ... Yes it may look beautiful .... looking out on it from inside somewhere warm .... Oooh yes and to those wearing glasses don't just hate it when you walk into a room from the cold and your glasses get all foggy ... I feel like such a dork when that happens ! drifting off into space ... v/x np: God - John Lennon -- it's the dreams that won't leave us alone --- http://www.clodia.net +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Among other things she mentioned how Tom Baker refers to himself as "the ultimate Dr Who", which is peculiar as we had the misfortune to hear Jon Pertwees Christmas single recently, and he also refers to himself as the ultimate Doctor. They cant both be right. We personally side with Pertwee, not only for his dandyism, but also because his surname suggests he is both pert and twee, a combination we find irresistible. hogwash i say! bullock.! we all know that tom baker is the king of all DR.'s his cunning portrail of dr. who with all his wittiness and talk of sonic screw drivers!(that thing has gotten ol' tom out of many a jams!)and im still not sure how that thing works. his frizzy hair and multicolored scarf and hat. you cant forget the hat. come on. hes been in way more episodes the pertwee. four years in fact. more run ins with cybermen, daleks, and giant city stomping robots. when you think "Dr. Who" you dont think oh of course Mr. Jon Pertwee! you think Tom Baker, the fourth and greatest Dr. of them all! i see your game you rouge! trying to win us over with your talk of pert and twee! haha. not i. i wont be so easily subdued like a hindu cow. anyway, "you were waitress in a cocktail bar, when i met you. i picked you out i shook you up i turned you around. turned you into someone new now five years later on youve got the world at your feet success has been so easy for you well dont forget it was me who put you where you are now and i can put you back down too........" -HL sun is up hanging right in my eyes its illustrious beams of light. having tried to avoid her beaming stare. she makes me feel so strange. trees bare if not all then some of their naked branches. soft frost accumulates upon my rear view mirror and i say to my chum, "lets drive to hammonton!" and on this particularly long drive to hammonton, i managed to doze off in the vans "lacking lumbar support" seat. and in this dozing, i managed to conjure up a vivid dream. a dream of large spiders bumbling bout my hair and finger tips. the voice of my chum calls out', "joe, you have spiders in your hair!!!" my chum being deathly afraid of spiders, dares not come closer then his glance. then something weird happened. i was sleeping with my eyes opened the whole time facing george(thats chums name) and there really was a spider creeping about the top of my scull. at this point i still thought this was some strange dream. george began to "poke" me to wake thus getting rid of his phobia arachnid. i woke up screaming in the end because in my dream george was a giant furry spider poking my side with his furry arm. then he screamed because he didnt see where the spider went and feared it may have landed on him. so for your entertainment...picture if you will...two grown men...driving in a van...down a dark highway...with a spider perched upon ones head...and the other screaming. eventually he pulled to the side while screaming"smash it! kill it! ahhhhh! is it gone? ahhhh!" but of course i didnt. i put the frightened spider on the road side. and i swear it waved goodbye! syke. the moral of the story is dont drive with a spider on top your head down a dark road while sleeping with your eyes opened and dont do drugs. thank you joe. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
