That was me! Years of faithfully wearing the symbolic upside-down badge and it's finally worked. Well, not so much that anyone would come up and talk to me, but still. I had popped in after an exam to pick up the new Hefner album (which is v. good by the way), and I wanted a copy of Trousercuts as well, but they didn't have any. Now I'll have to send off for it. Glad to see everyone had a nice time at ATP. Last year Bowlie was right after my exams- this year it was, literally, the day before. 'Snot fair. At least I can look forward to the picnic...

Painting With Light said......... > And when you leave I suggest a surprise like a thankyou note on the pillow or decorate their room secretly with balloons and sparkly things so when they next go in they think of you and smile unless of course they hate sparkly things. what a great idea!! i was trying to think of something nice to do for laura (my friend in liverpool) when i leave next week, and this is very cool. i could twee her room up, put a few piccies of b&s around her house, convert her dad to liking hefner and make her mum put a picture of stu m on her fridge- hey, angel from buffy is already there, stu m will easily fit in! but ballons and sparkly things are great too, so maybe i could create a wee glitter explosion in her house????? help me my dear sinisterines!!!!! i ahven't started packing yet, have been listening to legal man instead.......all in all, i think it is great, and we should all go out in droves and buy it first week of release, so it charts high....HEY! maybe they might get a totp appearance!! can you imagine, b&s wedged between mel c and the b*witched, so to speak?!! but then again, perhaps it would be infinately cooler if they decided not to do totp??????? i dunno, i don't mind really........as for the sticker album idea, i think we should do it ourselves, like a wee sinister enterprise! a few of us could collect pictures/stalk the band (as suggested by idleberry) and then we could find someone on the list who works at a print shop...c'mon, there must be someone out there who does??? then we can send a prototype to jeepster or banchory and once they see how cool it is, they'll buy the idea and then sinister will be rich, rich, rich i tell you!!!!!!!!! *ahem* so, why not eh?!! well, better go, i will give you all the details of my trip to ahrass everyone on merseysied next weekend, until then i have to love you and leave you........ loadsa love, littlebelleXXX :o) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: it's that time again where i lose my fiends
by The Narrow Wizard 13 Apr '00

Hey folks Just a few comments Well done to the footy lads, I'm really impressed that you managed to win without me, congratulations. question: am I the only person on the list that hasn't heard the new track, if its such a grower then you guys are gonna think its the greatest song ever before I've even heard it. ATP sounded great fun, and yet again I couldn't afford to go. which means I missed out on meeting all those who were there that I've not met yet. Maybe I'll just have to invade the next pic-nic on may 20th, should have some cash then....anybody got a bit of floorspace for a wizard to sleep on? anyway sorry for bothering you with this nonsense, just needed a break having finished the last essay I will ever have to write for my degree, only a bloody dissertation to go now. THE APRIL UPDATE words to write before the 28th 30,000 words written to date 12,000 words remaining 18,000 days remaining 14 words per day required 1,286 bye folks love and armadillos 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: The Consolations of Popology
by Peter Miller 13 Apr '00

13 Apr '00

I fail to see how anyone could give "The Talented Mr Ripley" seven out of ten, unless they were a Matt Bianco fan dazzled by Jude Law's jazzy titfer. Matt Bianco were on the telly the other night. Only Matt is left. They did "That's What I Say I Say Yeah Yeah" instead of my personal favourite "Sneaking Out the Back Door With a Grin". I know most people go for "Get Out Your Lazy Bed", but that's what P!O!P! is all about - spouting shite. Gwyneth Paltrow's got a big bum. She was on the telly outside the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao and her backside was so big you could hardly see the museum. It's true - if you watch her films closely, you'll notice that she never gets her arse out, just her tits. I enjoyed the recent discussion of late eighties NME and MM content. It inspired me to produce my top ten epics in sound and scope. Here goes: 1. Led Zep - Kashmir 2. Amon Düül II - Yeti 3. Sonic Youth's third 20 minute improvisation at ATP 4. Iron Butterfly - Innagaggadadoodah 5. Anything by Ash Ra Tempel I give up. Note the lack of A.R. Kane. Does the A.R. stand for Ash Ra? What does "jouissance" mean? Sonic jousting? Thanks to David "Live at the Fill" Moore for his ATP reviews, Megan for her Daltrey update, and Jason for offering us his dog. I would be first in the queue if I lived in the UK and the dog promised never to do a jobby ever again. I've heard two new B&S songs on the radio - Stevie's "Wrong Gurl", which has been jollied up with some strings, giving it a nice "Cowboy in Sweden" feel, and "Waiting for the MoooOooooOOOoon to Rise" by the Wild Woman of Wonga, which has a kind of harpsichord thing on it and is deeply groovy. I don't know if this is old news or not. I've also heard two Looper songs, one was like a cheap Beck impersonation and the other one had a kind of sub-New Order bass on it and the familiar Strawberry Fields keyboard sound. Business as usual. At least he's had the decency to put his vocals through some kind of effects box. The lyrics were something about how beautiful everyday things are, something I was hoping that bloody plastic bag between two wind machines in "American Beauty" would have got rid of for good. I might see some of you UK listees next week or the week after, should the chance arise. I don't know whether this will involve scouring the co-ops of Oxford or dropping into the Po Caff for a nice jacket potato or stalking Keith or hanging out in Fleet Street "drinking clubs" or none of the above. I'm definitley going to be popping down John Menzies for a Trousercuts though.

Sinister: Careless whispers?

I have no idea if this is true or if it is a cruel joke on my behalf, but my friend who works on SM:TV said b&s might be performing Legal Man on the show. This might not be true so don't get excited.

Sinister: A body without organs
by Michael Jones 13 Apr '00

13 Apr '00

Oh, wayward ones... April. Aprill. AprILL. Oh yesh, three days on a South Coast post-rock council estate and I'm as phlegmy and viscid as a helicopter full of guacamole falling on a glue factory. That's what you get when you share a cloudy plastic beaker or four of Kronenbourg (I know, I know - it wasn't a weekend of principle) with a semi-retired ex-Scouse noisepopper. Full of germs, these North Londoners. He didn't recall our old Physics teacher Tom Goddard with any more affection than I did. Tom, if you're reading this - Bernoulli, Berphooey. My chest may be as clogged as a barber's vacuum, and my head as glutinous as month-old milk, but the memories are as yet undimmed: Dastoor, seized by the same demons that possessed Macca in '73 - "Jet"*, complete with fevered sofa-bed bouncing. Ol' Snake-Hips playing deep in the latter stages of the 5-a-side campaign, soaking up wave after wave of Delgadian assault, pricking the balloons of IPC prose-monkey offence with his needle-sharp tackling. Arantxa, who seemed to have a different outfit for morning, afternoon and evening, reeling back 18 summers with tales of Arconada, Camacho, Butragueño - "just say 'Sociedad' again... for sampling purposes, you understand." Mr Chelmsford UK relieving the viral shudders with cups of java. Labradford halting time. "Play It Again, Sam". Human ashtrays. Pinefox, wandering. With a packet of Minstrels. Sun, sand, sea and sambuca (which I'd always thought was a topical solution for applying to warts. Seems I was right). No sleep 'til Sevenoaks. (* from an LP described as "tasteless and offensive" by Max Blaska - from Alaska! - at Amazon.com. He's less equivocal on the subject of "Ram".) Of course, one eventually has to return from such a bubble of unfettered faffing-about, and damp, grimy reality slaps you in the chops. Peter Jones is dead, as is Larry Linville. I read with interest (but not comprehension) that Annie Lennox Lewis Collins is to be stripped of his/her WBA belt. "Not only will his/her pants fall down", writes former Hawthorns favourite Remi Moses in today's Independent, "but he/she will have to go to back of the queue when the next batch of season tickets are released". A sad state of affairs and no danger. Mike (look at his face! Just look at his face!). __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send online invitations with Yahoo!

None
by Wayne Fortune 13 Apr '00

Hello all, I was just thinking that there was something quite ironic about dodging the puddles as I drove my little Micra to work this morning, listening to Legal Man. "Get out of the office, and into the springtime". Now that would be nice... Lots of love Ba Ba __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send online invitations with Yahoo!

Sinister: But life is cruel and I am kind
by Mike 13 Apr '00

13 Apr '00

Hello, I'm really scared. I'm really scared because right now I'm living with mummy and daddy in a nice house. In a month I'll be doing exams. After this follows a couple of months spent in a permanent drunken stupor. After that... I'll be living in a house. On my own. 18 years old and I'll have all those things grown up people have. A house, a car (all right it's a Fiat Uno rather than a Rover or BMW, but still).I'll have to buy food and stuff. I'll have a flippin garden! (Hate gardening. I'll let it grow wild and have summer picnics in it.) I'm not ready I don't think. I don't really feel very grown up at all I'm still a baby, really. God, responsibilities. Before you know it I'll be washing the car and mowing the lawn on a Sunday afternoon [shudders]. ----------Content---------- I missed Legal Man. I've been trying to hear it again on the Evening Session, but there's only so long I can listen to Blink 182 before I decide that it's not worth it and I'll just assume it's good and wait for it to be released. -------End of content------- I just tried driving with no shoes on. I now know why it's illegal. Also, I heard today that Our Price is to be no more. Virgin are going to turn it into a hi-fi shop. This means that us Worksop pop pickers now have a choice of Woolworths or Splash Records (with their evil ravey ways). ------More content--------- The grapevine tells me B&S are to plug Legal Man on CD:UK. If this is true it is simultaneously brill and bloody crap. The appearance, that is, not the song.

Sinister: Seymour Stein, i can't come this tuesday.
by Toby Chan 13 Apr '00

13 Apr '00

Hey Girls Hey Boys 100percentbelleandsebastiancontent <two or three things I know about Seymour Stein> "I can't see u, Mr Wender, I hope your talk will be GRATE" I am going to take the plane on Monday Morning (5:19? I wonder). It is for my internship, working for a Hong Kong movie director. Tuesday, supposingly, I will attend a talk by Wim Wender (YES, W.I.M. W.E.N.D.E.R.)at APA (I was born and i am living in Hong Kong). Now, I can't. Coz i will be at Bejing. "Mr Wender, I really luv your works. It's nice to see u" "Mr Wender, Can I ve your authograph?" "Mr Wender, Can I take a photo with u?" "Mr Wender, I am a film student, can u write me something encouragin'?" I will listen "Seymour Stein" on the plane. May be the line: "recordcompanymanicantgofordinner" will make a bitter laughter. All I hope is the Movie Star wanna postpone the shooting, then maybe i will be happier. And everythings go alrite, the Pets go back to the wild, all the people will be happier... abuseyourself, Toby pretending "Ace" in Quadrophenia +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: new B+S single
by Toby Blake 13 Apr '00

13 Apr '00

My flatmate told me last night that he'd heard the new B&S single and it sounded like a cross between The Beach Boys and the backing tracks for 1970s cinema adverts for Indian restaurants. Can anyone confirm this? I reckon this sounds quite good and indeed he said he thought I would like it. Then again, the last time this kind of thing happened, he'd heard some song on the Jo Whiley show which he thought I'd really like and he kept going on about it. I never did get to hear it, but he recently revealed to me that it was "fucking awful". Hmmm.
