Sinister: practically invisible
by RythSoul＠aol.com 27 Mar '00

27 Mar '00

To my surprise, the first day back from my spring break wasn't half as bad as I had expected. And i must admit, i looked devilishly cute in my new dress, although i'm sure nobody noticed, after all, I have been told that i am practically invisible. I also learned recently that I have been labeled the "goth chick" by a boy in my photography class. i found this incredibly disturbing. it is true that i have a fondness for the color black, but i am hardly goth. black is slimming, and classy...and the cape hides my hips! haha. oh well, it's good for a laugh i suppose i told my friend who introduced me to b&s about the new single, and he was rolling with laughter. he then told me what an arab strap was... that's right, i didn't know, and now that i do..i have to say i'm a little disturbed. not really, it's just fun to say. the queasiness is setting in as prom is approaching and that is ALL anyone is talking about. i just cannot conceive spending hundreds of dollars on one night of sitting around watching people practically having sex on the dance floor. even though the more i think about that part, the more i reconsider my decision not to go. tee hee. after all, that's the best part. then you get to walk around telling all of the little skanks they're going to hell..the looks on their faces are priceless. i can't wait for june when i can finally leave the hell that has been high school. looking around at all of the roxy/quicksilver clones makes me sick to my stomach. and they all look at me like i'm the strange one. just because i'm not parading around in skin tight pants and half a shirt in the rain. college better be different, otherwise, well...i don't know what i'll do...just be miserable i guess. please tell me it gets better- lissa +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Dumb Question about Baltimore Looper + a wee bit more.
by Vilkas D'Angelo-Horvath 27 Mar '00

27 Mar '00

Ok, this is my last resort. I've hunted online. I've hunted offline. I can't find anything about the tickets for the Shriver Auditorium in Baltimore, which is where The Flaming Lips and whats that band...ahhhh...oh it's Looper are playing. >:). Who knows something? I'm not asking this cold, I can't freakin' find anything. Again, sorry if this post if uncool or off list rules. I still love you all. Ok, I'll ask a question that someone asked before: Who's list crush am I? Mwah! Sugar-Kisses, Vilkas P.S. I just got a show in a hip place to show my large format photographs of China. I'm gonna play Belle & Sebacious at my reception. This may sound evil to some, but I may put Tigermilk and The Man Who in the cd changer and let it go from there. I have some music theory to discuss on this selection. Not now tho'... I must explain my theory better, so now is definitely not the time as i am feeling loopy. more sugar-kisses, vilkas P.P.S. Any Sinesterians going to any east coast u.s. Cure shows? , lots more sugar kisses, vilkas +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Hi All (especially anyone with digital TV) This from the ATP list: Just thought you lucky bastards with digital would wanna know that they're showing highlights of Bowlie on BBC Choice tonight/tomorrow morning at 1 or 1:30....could be either. So, 0130BST on 28/03/00. Can anyone please confirm if this is true? because if so I need to start ringing round anyone I know who might have BBC Choice.

Sinister: 60s retro

I don't know about everybody else, but I've always described B&S as having a sixties acoustic pop sound. The phrase, "Simon and Garfunkel" always seems to come up as well, but the certainly seem to have a sort of old sound to them, in my most humble opine... +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Appearance....
by Chris Jones 27 Mar '00

27 Mar '00

As if by magic, my face has appeared on the photo board. I wasn't going to put it there because I thought it spoilt half the "mystique" of such a list, but then I thought "Awww, what the hell" (only not in American accent). So, if for any reason (and I can't actually think of one myself....no....I really can't) you want to look at a piccy of me, I'm there.

Sinister: I'm nowhere near a threeway
by Jean-Pierre Champagne 27 Mar '00

Hi all, Off topic: Just picked up the latest Jim O'Rourke HWTAT and it's simply amazing. So how about Eureka - is it good stuff? I need the inside track if I'm going to give up eating for a few days in order to afford the disc. By the way: I've classically really dislike his stuff - I bought Terminal Pharmacy and it's just useless. Gastr Del Sol's Crookt... is pretty much the same. I also have the last Gastr, Camoufleur, and it's definitely a step up.

Sinister: StRaNgeLy BeAuTiFuL...
by velocity farewell 27 Mar '00

27 Mar '00

Hiya beautiful ones... Sitting in my tidied up living room - I tidied up yesterday - wow!! you'd know this is some sort of a big event if you had been here... :) Anyway... W E A T H E R REPORT... Oh the weather today is just amazing!!! I had to tell you that cuz I know many of you live in places where it's raining a lot and it's grey and cloudy... and I wanted to bring some sun here... some sun and sea breeze and second, cuz I'm in such a good mood I had to tell you... this is not something common for me... Well I came back home and wore my old cords and my B&S bus tee shirt - btw the colours started to faint; is that happening to all of you or is it just my washing machine? - and rushed to the BeAcH with Spooky... 'twas so nice; the perfect day... a day straight out of Spring's Heart... So...I went to the beach and saw some american guys in their swimming suits playing beach volley... Comment... don't you just hate guys in these tight swimming suits? I mean, regardless if they are fit or not; it's still so bad taste!! As I was approaching one of them stopped playing and stared at me... I had to let Spooky free to run and she - darn dog - run towards that guy... the traitor! If you are wondering what americans are doing here; I live in a city that is a harbour so... After shouting a lot to her, to the guys' amusement, she came back to me and we walked towards the opposite direction... I sat down on the sand and put out my jacket and stayed with the tee... first time I exposed my pale arms and the tee to the sun... it felt so good... then I started to dig in the sand with Spooky and we managed to open a big hole... I was putting sand back and she, in a fury, opened it again... disgusting note... she brought some dead fish and put them in the hole and I had to touch them *YAK!* to throw them back into the sea again... and she brought a dead crabs, dried by the sun to me... and as I took it to throw it back it opened a little hole in my finger and started to bleed... well not that much... I couldn't but think of Zoe and Richard all the time; and wished they were there with me... you see when they came here it was winter and so cold... we walked at the beach and everything but it was so cold and windy... and I couldn't help thinking of all of you and how much I wished you were there laughing and playing on the sand... and I could knock out George Henry on the sand by the most amazing UpperCut ever!! yer.. Wow! I can't believe it I'm so happy!! Plus, I'm listening to the most incredible song ever... it's "the sun a small star" by the Servants... ".... I give you everything that's not much...." talking about music... I forgot to fold my hands while walking at the beach... I think I looked like a peasant.... mmmm... but I do not care!! and... I was talking to someone today who made me smile a lot... one thing I've got to say: GrAnNyS aRe tHe CooLesT... not to mention the TwEe-EsT.. yer... OK, I'm leaving now... sorry for ranting on that much! but I feel so happy! I've always been quiet when happy... this is the 1st time I have an outburst of joy.... and happiness... it's like chocolate... you like it that much you have to keep it in your mouth and let it melt in there, tasting it blissfully, so the joy of eating it lasts longer... What am I talking about..?? bye everyone... *hugs* Vel PS: I loved it that Jen kicked that boy.. Grrrrr... PpS:Has anyone of you heard of the Relationships? I heard some of their stuff and really really liked them! sinister village site http://home6.swipnet.se/~w-63235/sinister ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Pegasus realizes they're playing his tune
by P F 27 Mar '00

27 Mar '00

Greenflies, bluebottles, milk cartons, I'm not totally sure about this, but I have a feeling I spent the last five days in a cupboard playing 240 folk songs on a three-string guitar. It's with fascination, therefore, that I return to find such a plethora of rich material. As stasis and the predictable have long been my domestos, I mean, domain, a word on the same old subject as last week. People have been foreswearing the inkies debate like it contained nicotine, or like there was no tomorrow: which is probably wise, cos one day it just won't come. Still: About those end-of-year lists: they usually had, doubtless still (and more than ever) have, the capacity to alienate and inflame ('which is what rock writing is all about!', says someone off-screen - but no, I'm not sure); and few can have found it easy to agree with more than half of the 50 or so LPs named. (One tired, yawning example. Costello made at least four major records in the 90s; I'm not sure that any of them made the weekly polls.) BUT to get specific. Nick D (who despite forementioned foreswearing is the coollest smoker in town, no danger) gives the poll-toppers from NME and MM 1987-9 and reckons the NME's choices now look better, MM's verging on the bizarre. Naturally I can't agree - which is just to say that my preferences happen to be the other way round. I've racked my brains to think of a 1989 LP I prefer to Disintegration, but don't think I can quite do it. It was indeed bizarre to see it top that poll; but it still cheers me up to think of it. That's just to come down to arbitraryish personal tastes - on which debates like this may always be partially founded anyway. But I also think Steady Mike's right: the preposterousness and daftness had their function; what was bad and what was good about MM were cheek-by-jowl, if not even identical. He makes me reflect on one other thing about Reynolds and Roberts - probably my last comment on this, honest: *they described music so that it didn't matter whether you'd heard it or not*. Indeed, hearing it could be a handicap, for their descriptions were so self-serving, so off the wall or up a gumtree, that the actual record might only get in the way of their fantastic verbal concoctions, the sheer fictions they loosely based from what they claimed to have heard. I still haven't heard most of the records they wrote about back then, but can still remember half of what they said, which may in some cases have been more interesting than the sound of the records anyway. Not always the best criterion for writing about music, to be sure, but there is, or was, a place for it, and it did save you a lot of money you'd otherwise have had to spend on hearing the dull discs themselves. I must say it was a shock to see Steady Mike back on sinister. Since I waved him off as he took the boat to work in an Alaskan pipeline back in, I think, January (he'd been inspired by rereading Everett True on Neil Young's 'Someday', in a MM review from autumn 1989. Nothing could dissuade him), there's been neither hide nor seek, I mean hair, of him in evidence. And suddenly, ever the master of the coup de tayatrer, he reveals in the most melodramatic way possible that he's back in town (no mention of the pipeline. I guess things didn't work out) and having barmy adventures. It's odd, cos the other day I had a slightly similar experience to his. I was coming round the bend on a train to Kansas City the other day (this is in Northamptonshire, by the way - they moved it in 1988, responding to demand) when I was set upon by a short, stocky figure with a puggish pout who turned out to be former Old Trafford keeper Chris Turner. Once he'd overpowered me and knocked me out I woke to find myself in a shuddering, rattling freight car, first used in 'Starlight Express' in 1985. As I raised my head I realized I was confronted by the decrepit forms of the original line-up of Fascinating Aida - though now I come to think of it it could even have been the Mint Juleps, whichever you think most plausible. As I spoke I realized the erstwhile custodian had knocked out some of my teeth. Still, I managed to get out the obvious question. 'You - you've reformed?' 'No!', they laughed in unison (it later emerged that they'd been persuaded to affiliate by a shop steward in Kettering, who'd assured them of the benefits of the 2000 insurance deal and given them each a key ring), 'We're the same corrupt, louche, decadent, dissolute, promiscuous, sponging drunks we've always been'. ______________________________________________________ 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.
