Sinister: Planet NAY
by CHRIS LEAK 06 Apr '00

06 Apr '00

Mornen Went to see God Speed & Sigur Ros last night, both really really good, especially Sigur Ros (damn that angelic voiced handsome Icelander, SPIT, SPIT). As for God Speed, PHEW! My only gripe, and it's a big 'un,is that Planet K is without doubt the worst venue I have ever been to see a band at. From the attitude of the staff on the door, the pre-printed "Due to a technical fault the draft pumps are not in use" - i.e. Stump up for a bottle sucker!, the fact that I was charged £10.20 for two bottles of Stella and a diet coke. All this combined with the floor sloping back down from the stage, a narrowness that would have prevented Twiggy from getting anywhere the front and I'm sure they had the heating on full wack! Suffice to say, I would rather have spent a bit more and travelled to a another date on the tour. Sorry about moan, but if it's any consolation I feel much better now. Back to lurking........ Before I go, am I the only one who didn't think the book "High Fidelity" was much cop? (BARRAGE OF YESS!) It's a few years since I read it but I don't remember it that fondly. Everyone I've lent the book to since has loved it. To me it just seems such a diluted and tame idea of "laddism" that Nick Hornby aspires to. It's responsible for everyone from Chris Evans to Zoe Ball anally "Top Fiving" everything. The big plot development, toward the end of the book (which I won't reveal for those who have yet to read it), which supposedly explains away the characters lack of ability to commit is soooo LAME! It is built up to arrive as a live changing revelation whereas it arrives with a dull thud. I could go on but I fear I may alienate myself even more than I already have.

Sinister: Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans.
by Juan Carlos Moya 06 Apr '00

06 Apr '00

Basically, I'm not cool enough. Actually, I'm too cool. No one in this town knows how cool I really am. That is of course with the exeption of my girlfriend, (who thinks I'm very cool), a few friends, (who have all gotten together and agreed that I'm cool), and my parents (who made me cool). But generally speaking, I'm not that cool. Overall, this is not such a bad thing. You see, I live in Miami, Florida. A very, very uncool place. (I mean, we have two seasons here, hot and hotter. and the music scene reflects this. It sucks, there's virtually no variety and a general lack of bands.) However, this town just got a little cooler. Allright, I'll cut to the chase without using the word "cool" again, dig? There is now a place where those of us in Miami who don't really care about dance music can go. It's Sat. nights at a bar called Picadilly, in the fashion design district, (a relatively old area where nothing really happens at night and all they do is sell overpriced antiques during the day...), and the night is called "life." At the door they take your five bucks and they ask you, "how did you hear about us?" You say word of mouth, or internet, or whatever and then you get stamped you go inside and you dance like mad to Belle and Sebastian. Yep, I said Belle and Sebastian. I had to request it, but it was played. "Is it Wicked Not to Care?" and "Sleep the Clock Around." That's two songs in a town that two years ago only had two people in it who knew who B&S were. A club outside of the UK or New England that plays B&S. I'm overjoyed. It's too bad that I can't go back for another couple of weeks, but if it's still there, I'll be there too. Speaking of "being there," my girlfriend and I will be in Toronto from the 20th of April until the 29th or so. Since the Toronto listees are notorious for the unholy amounts of fun that they have, I was wondering if such a meet up can occur sometime during that week. Perhaps, there's a Sini-bear who needs a new home? We're willing to adopt one, but only after the libation has flowed freely from tap to glass. Really. That's enough for now. Toodles, Juan Carlos +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Ooh, I feel all wanted and stuff...
by Mike 05 Apr '00

05 Apr '00

Hullo, Argh! Can't. Cope. With. People. Agreeing. With. Me. In. Such. Large. Numbers. NURSE!! Right, that's better. Some thoughts: Exams are a very bad thing, as is Computing coursework. You're all very naughty for making me write this when I should be revising or programming or something. My job is worse than exams. Since starting I have phoned up over 10,000 people (early calculations suggested 60,000, but I was being thick) and said the same thing to all of them. Unless they were nasty, in which case I would have hung up and muttered fck ff. I alleiviate boredom by playing computer Solitaire and abusing the database to look up the addresses and phone numbers of famous people (did you know there are 26 Isobel Campbells in Glasgow?). Do Internet music peeps deliberately not send me my CDs for months? As promised this post is irrelevant and rather short too..

Re: Sinister: i'm missing you like candy
by Walkn10＠aol.com 05 Apr '00

Lauren said... << i got the new travis cd. it is fabulous. now i understand why walkn steve has been going on and on about them. >> I think that was another one of Sinister's many Steves because, while I like Travis, I don't have the album. I really wish I had said that, but I didn't. Feel free to attribute any other witty/brilliant things to me and I'll be alot less honest...really good to see Lauren's name back in the in-box. I heard Stevie Jackson is to be on a forthcoming compilation entitled "Caroline Now! A Tribute to Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys." No mention of what song he's doing, but the concept behind the album is that the bands are to choose more esoteric and lesser-known songs. Given that the Beach Boys released 20 odd albums and had only a dozen or so Top 20 songs, that leaves alot of fucking tunes to choose from. I'm predicting he'll do something mid-60s, as opposed to the later drivel that Mike Love wrote...maybe something off "Beach Boys Today!" I'm not sure when it comes out and I haven't seen a complete list of the bands that will be on it, but it should be pretty ace. I got my Flaming Lips/Looper ticket for the Baltimore show, so I'm pretty stoked. Its at a much smaller venue than the last time I saw Looper so I'm wondering how they'll pull off the visual aids and such. Are they still doing that for this tour? Having a fluid build-up in your knee really sucks...FYI Orville Redenbacher "If you ever drop your keys in molten lava...forget it man, they're gone" -Jack Handey *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* "Which Paul?"

Um, non-UK listeners, don't forget that if you have the means (a computer, a sound card) you can check out the propable majesty that is the new single on the Radio 1 webcast. Try here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/inside_r1/index.shtml and there is a wee button to press that says, "listen." You can download a Real Audio Player and tune in! Come early for the afternoon show and maybe you'll get to hear the new Steps or the "Thong Song." bye. scott. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: All Tomorrows Parties - South coast ticket give-away (well, almost)
by paul 'spoonbearder' sallis 05 Apr '00

05 Apr '00

Sorry for this abuse folks but it does kinda' have a Belle & Sebastian connection - Well it does if you screw your eyes up into tight little balls + think real hard until you can see a year into the past to the magic that was the 1st Bowlie Weekender. Thanks to Southampton Universities evil policy of stopping all chemistry students from having seaside Indie festival fun by bringing forward project meetings + deadlines we are now a body short for our chalet - I was going to say "human body short" but hey he's a chemist, so of course he's not human! ;) - So, if you can answer a big 'YES' to all the following questions please get in touch as soon as: 1. do you have your own body? (sorry no rentals, our insurance doesn't cover it) 2. do you like music? 3. do you have to lie horribly when a medical practitioner asks you how many units of alcohol you abide in a week to avoid gasps of horror? 4. do you live in/around Southampton or at a handy place between Southampton & Camber sands? 5. do you like going on holiday? 6. do you get on with other people without feeling the need to lash or majority spak out in any way? 7. do you like drinking Um Bungo & eating Ambrosia Creamed Rice? 8. do you have about �100 burning a hole in your pocket at the moment? Oh dear, I think I just lost a shedload of you with question 8. - you can try haggling if you want but we'll probably just laugh in your general direction, or flick bogeys at you, or something even meaner than that!!! If anyone's still interested (bluddy weirdo's) this should scare you off for good: Who's going: me (paul), andy#1 + andy#2. How: driving from Southampton. when: Friday morning (hangovers allowing). Who to contact: I have limited Internet access so you're best bet is to drop a note to andy#1 on: - "aextance(a)tripos.com" (work) - "andye(a)happychopper.co.uk" (home) (better send to both, just to be sure) Hope to see some of you kids at the weekend. Hell, I might even try and talk to some of you this year!!! (the horror, the horror!) hugs + raspberry slushpuppies (especially to everyone who couldn't come to ATP - be brave little ones and remember All Tomorrows Parties invariably leads to Heroin, so you're probably better off where you are), paul.

Sinister: UK listeners: TOMORROW: "It's Illegal Man" on Radio One
by The Fragrant World Of Princess Honey 05 Apr '00

Yes I know, I know, I'm a bit of an absentee list mother at the moment, but I'm still toddling along in the background keeping you all "well-oiled" so to speak. Or greased up. Anyway, more later, but for now just to prove that as well as bringing you the LP title and songs before MI6 had heard about them, Sinister now brings you another world-wide exclusive unless-you've-already-heard from Katrina at B&S HQ: tomorrow night (Thursday) on the Evening Session on Radio 1 they're going to be playing the single "Legal Man". She says probably between 8-10 on the regional bit but *in all regions* so you folks at Chipping Sodbury won't miss out. Isn't Legal Man the one with the sitar? Brrrrring tinkle tinkle. Oh and the grapevine tells me that "dickslap" was yet another scribbling from a gents loo. Well, presumably gents.
