Sinister: Cicoline for Italia
by The Narrow Wizard 20 Apr '00

20 Apr '00

Fraid to say that for the first time since I joined Sinister I have had to delete a bunch of messages unread as I just don't have the time. it is for this reason that I am now responding to old points. Somebody asked about Italians who have made an impression on the music scene. I bring forward Miss Cicoline. OK so the former porn star has never released a single but Pop Will Eat Itself did release the brilliant tune "touched by the hand of Cicoline" which was a call to have the busty blond present the trophy at world cup Italia 90. Also she deserves a mention for her forray into politics after her porn career. Lots of male fans voted for her and she became a member of parliament in Italy, later she tried to avert the gulf war by offering to sleep with Saddam if he would call his troops out of Kuwait. For such devotion to the duties of world peace and sex I think we should all sing along to PWEI for her, altogther now.. "Cicoline, Cicoline for Italia, Italia" Time for a big thankyou to Velocity Girl who was not only very nice about me in her post but who also posted a poem from one of my most favourite ever poets, Olivia Weatherspoon, not only does she write great poems but I also hear that she was damn sexy. Also Ive just remembered that Juicy Lucy Alder mentioned her nipples, with vaseline, can't wait to see the photo Also I've noticed that some wise soul has been quoting the great Jbediah Springfield in his posts, Well did you know that Jebediah has one more famous quote which he let slip once when he'd had a few too many drinks. " A good porno film embiggens even the smallest man" THE APRIL UPDATE words to write before the 28th 30,000 words written to date 20,000 words left 10,000 days left 7 words per day required about 1,400 Well it's time to get back to the dissertation bye folks love 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.

Steven knows this. Please join us. Miami. April 19, 2000. J.C.

Sinister: UofM journalism school
by Luther van der Gaard 19 Apr '00

19 Apr '00

to comment on the article that Todd just posted from the University of Maryland, i should say that this is quite typical of what passes for "music journalism" in most school newspapers. i mean, its great that B&S get any type of mention whatsoever, and i should be grateful, but i just dont think that article shows a shred of imagination. spare me your "wuss factor" crap. lyrics even more ambiguous than morrissey's! wooo! i dont know when this article appeared in your newspaper, but i should mention that parts of it bear a striking resemblance to a review of the "lazy line painter jane" box set that appeared in the British music magazine Select recently. the bit about "beautiful" being perfectly titled, and a few other bits seem directly paraphrased from that review. plagiarism is always a pathetic sight, but again to be expected from these budding Spin writers who figure none of the heathens in their readership are cool enough to pick up Select. and of course, the bits that werent plagiarized showed "analysis" so lamely shallow that its simply not worth reading. "gimme wuss rock"? oy. ah. sorry to be so grouchy. -rye.

Sinister: ooh aah sinistah - the rematch
by Sean 19 Apr '00

19 Apr '00

hello all, www.nme.com are advertising s/thing called the soccer sixes...another celebrity footie event that i feel we should definitely gate-crash obviously our previous approach, of sending Jim up to the organisers several times, pretending to be a different band until we get let in to the tournament is probably not going to work. therefore, i have taken the liberty of mailing the news desk at the nme. first and foremost this lets them know that it was the sinister massive who are responsible for kicking them all over the park at camber. IMHO they *needed* to know. as for the future...if captain jim says so, book the (i think) 29th May, P!O!P! kids, and we'll show them all...... below, that challenge to the nme in full.... dear nme, so, the soccer sixes. are you putting a team out? if so, thought you might be interested in a rematch after your pounding at the ATP festival. it's probably time to let you know who beat you in that epic final. well, for that afternoon, Matthew, we were the slot jockeys. However, the team that kicked you around the camber sands stadium were.....the sinister list. Does this ring any bells? i'm afraid to tell you that it was a bunch of biscuit nibbling, cardie-wearing, Belle and Sebastian loving, twee fuckers that dished out the pasting you so richly deserved. come and have a go..... sean +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: williams days
by robert smith 19 Apr '00

19 Apr '00

William breathed in as he fastened the laces on his boots. His boots were big and brown and he wore them rarely. The reason he was now putting them on was that he was going to the park and he felt a fraud wearing his usual shoes in the park. William had been round this park more than once, but today is seemed a bit different. It was nearly a quater past seven on a spring evening and things weren't yet dark. I had been raining for days on end and large parts of the park were flooded, as usual. It wasn't raining now, although the air was moist, it was not unpleasent. The grey sky was reflecting in the newly formed lakes and seemed to reflect an old world that Willaim did not know but he felt he belonged there all the same. Belonged. The rain had made the unflooded fields vibrant and William wondered how many shades of green there were in that small field. He'd counted up to seven when something caught his eye. 'Sophie 4 Gary' written in tippex on a tree. This sort of thing sometimes makes William angry. Today it just made him strangely sad. So very sad. *this piece of self indulgence was brought to you by the undead robert smith* ______________________________________________________ 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 was a looper in new york
by Anastasia Signoretta 19 Apr '00

19 Apr '00

hello listees, i meant to write this post yesterday but the overwhelming 'adult' responsibilities that seemed to be flooding my daily life did not allow me to do that. i hate being busy. i actually found a spare moment to realise that i have become something of a lurker on this list, shame shame on me. anyway...i wanted to be the first person to post about the new york city looper gig but alas i was beaten to the task. thanks adam apparatus for ruining my brilliant scheme. :) so what do i really have to say about the gig? well...the looper bit was pretty okay, but not like, amazing. you know. i really enjoyed their gig at tramps here in nyc last summer, and i think i felt that way largely because of the innovative visual set-up, which just wasn't present at this show. there was just this like, big screen thing. the performance itself was pretty okay. stuart david is not nearly as shy as he seemed to be a summer ago...he was quite the chatterbox actually. but the thing is, the songs are just so gosh darn TWEE i just wasn't feeling it. you know? sometimes i wonder if we all love looper because we all love belle and sebastian. (oops, have i said too much? send those flames my way!) the band did do 'impossible things,' possibly the twee-est of the twee set, and i slipped into mad twee mode for those twee minutes and really enjoyed it. the flaming lips on the other hand...wow wow wow! one of those brilliant live bands. they too used the 'like, big screen thing' but the film was synchonized perfectly with their performance and really made a startlingly beautiful effect. amazing amazing. the highlight of the show, definitely, was the classic 'she don't use jelly' when the whole place went mad in a sea of rainbow balloons. again, wow wow wow. i am writing a review of this show for the really GRATE indie rock website i sometimes write for, that being superstar in stereo (http://www.superstarinstereo.com...you got it!)...you should most definitely look at this site. lots of happy stuff going on there. oh...the loveliest thing about the looper/lips show...ELLIOTT SMITH was lurking in the audience! he is so tiny! i think i love him! or something. speaking of the divine mr. elliott...i've had 'figure 8' for a few weeks now (god bless cool roommates with promo copy privileges) and it is a beauty. all of the songs were written in my voice about my feelings towards my ex-boyfriend, i think...elliott stop reading my diary! i am quite *sniffle* sad because i am unable to attend the in-store at the virgin megastore here in nyc on friday. i am hosting a bridal shower in new jersey on saturday (don't ask) and i cannot make time for dear, sweet elliott. i hope he understands. :) anyone going to see any of the three dates he's playing in nyc in may? oops, sorry for all of the non-b+s there. let me ask a question then...why doesn't AT LEAST one napster user have an mp3 of 'legal man'? i am very surprised and very disappointed people, hop to it. so...despite the miserable weather and the fact that everything reminds me of my gay ex-boyfriend who refuses to speak to me now, things are looking superfine. i found out today that the museum of television and radio is running a marathon of the unaired 'freaks and geeks' episodes next saturday! does it get any better than that? i don't think so. stasia xx * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * i'm crystal crossed i still feel lost but i refuse to be your victim...

Regarding the Jeepster special on Swedish radio. The program is called P3 Pop (where P3 is the name of the channel and pop is....). It's being broadcast between 22.03 and 24.00 on Monday (24/4). I don't know if there is going to be a webcast of this show (Swedish radio isn't that webified yet (another great nonexisting word)) but the url to the website is www.sr.se/p3 and then click programs and then P3 pop.

Sinister: RE: can't make a sound
by Christina DaCosta 19 Apr '00

Thank you everyone who wrote expressing an interest in elliott and for comforting me on my housing woes. Just wondering if there are any b&s fans in nyc besides some that i've already spoken to. Don't be shy, we could all go to central park and frolic if the dismal weather gets any better.
