Sinister: Wheat, Korn and Oates
by Dewar 19 Jun '00

19 Jun '00

Hi folks, Talking about hot stuff (or at least one person was), I was at Elliott Smith at the Glasgow Garage last night, and by jove i must say it was one of the hottest concerts i have been to. Temperature-wise that is. I even had to remove my mittens! And Elliott still didn't take his damn hat off! Music-wise very good as well. I know more Elliott Smith songs than I realise. Was anybody else there? I'm sorry I missed you if you were... Caroline - i am glad to see that somebody else recognises Electronic Renaissance as the splendid song that it is - I see it attitude-wise as one of the most important songs along with The State I am In. Funnily enough I often listen to it before I go out on a Saturday nite. I think it is strange that Get Me Away.. was thought of so highly - maybe I should really listen to it again. Actually I really like Beyond the Sunrise. I am a trad country fan though. Should I really be on this list? I should end here... Oh yeah, go and see Wheat at the 13th note or nearest venue!! Rafe! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Quick, someone give BA this cheese burger so we can drug him and make him fall asleep and then we can carry him onto the plane.

Well hello you leetle sinister lovelies, Ah, it has been a long, long time since last did I post to the list, but I have something to say now, so I feel I can. FISHYCLAP, is, in my opinion, a good deal better than twattybus because the so- called band democracy is much more effective. Apart from the third song (i've forgotten the name of the blasted thing), which I think is an an absolute stinker of a belles song, and should have swapped places with the lovely Winter Wooksie. Stevie's song writing seems to be getting better and better, and though I do like Family Tree I agree with whoever it was who said that it sounded like a Gentle Waves song. But enough of this, there's been a zillion reviews already, and as this is the zillionth and first I'll make it brief. When I read Mad Dog's comments about IFYS the other day, and I smiled a smug little smile all to myself because I have often thought this very thing myself. The sound quality on Tigermilk (the only other album comparable with Sinister due to cost and fame and timescale other such things) is much better - there's something about the music on IFYS which gives me a bit of a headache (I love it and everything, but the production is a bit funny). The songs on Tigermilk are also produced in a far more understated way (I'm guessing due to time restraint and cost as well as the fact that the boy Doogan wasn't involved), which leads me to conclude that two possibilities are affecting B&S records nowadays: Tony Doogan or the pressure on Stu to produce a classic (after all, the fans are a wee bit demanding). I've always thought Tony Doogan was a good producer, but thinking back a lot of his records do have that overproduced, multi-limbed orchestra feel (obviously not the first Hefner album, though, cos I think that's brilliant, although their record company apparently was none-too-impressed). B&S have a cellist and violinist and I believe that the others can also play instruments, so why have an orchestra on record, especially when Isobel is a brilliant cellist (and I won't hear a word against her, so naaaaah to all members of the "We hate the lovely and talented Isobel" fanclub. In fact, double naaaaah :). I've got a new job, but I'm not allowed to tell people what it is cos it involves money, so you'll just have to guess. But I can tell you that I'm not a gigolo. I did have a lot more to say, but I've forgotten it all now so I'll go but I might be back in a while with my other thoughts (though prolly not cos they don't usually make much sense, but hey . . .) Goodbye one and all, Ian. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Hot
by clb112 19 Jun '00

"And I bet You really sweat" (Anyone know which song ???!!!) More like bodily dribbling than sweating (people not from here - we're having a heatwave). Has anyone got any easy guitar tabs for some B&S songs ? The only one I can play is "Rollercoaster Ride". Well, I can do D-G-D-G-A-G-A-G-Bflat-G over and over and over... An orange has just squirted all over my shirt. A bit ago I think someone said that "Electronic Renaissance" is crap, and it came at the bottom of the poll. I love it. Phunkadelic. "And London from above at night will look like a million lit candles, And your face will glow red at the sunrise" (That's from the same song). Lots of love (slightly wilted in the heat) Caroline xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: The Music's winding down
by Painting With Light 19 Jun '00

The girl next to me was worried I was going to faint she told me I look very pale. I explained that I burn REALLY easily and am therefore coated in factor 50 suncream (especially created for babies) now she really feels sorry for me cos [and I quote] "if I didn't go a little brown I'd just die" Ahem at least her hearts in the right place. CarsmileSteve (hewits(a)gloscat.ac.uk) said "Unfortunately my sister is coming to see me the weekend of the Sheffield one cos it would have been nice to go to that one and meet midlandy type people. Oh POO, the London one's going to be the 15th as well now Wonder if my sister fancies a daytrip to London....." and I'm sure she'd have a much nicer time on a trip to Sheffield with us Midlanders! Bloomin Londoners stealing our picnic people GRRR * Anyway yes my reason for this post well it's to say goodbye really Looks round the room at all of you. Some are dancing, some are chatting on the stairs and in the doorways, there's a huge group arguing over what music should go on the stereo, some are queuing for the bathroom and some are snogging in the shadows. I've had a lovely time I'm really glad I came walks toward the door where Honey is greeting the new arrivals and buttoning up the dufflecoats of those leaving. I do a little curtsey** "thankyou for having me" I take one last look back and give you all a big -wave*** Then I'm picking up my goodie bag (little toy, balloon, slice of cake) And heading out the door. It's been great Love and everything else PWL * I have no problem with anyone from London or anywhere else in the universe and this is meant to be read in a humourous tone. ** I'm well brought up you see. *** Jeepster chat strikes again -laugh _____________________________________________________________________ FSmail - Get your free web-based email from Freeserve: www.fsmail.net +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: attn: NYC area sinisterees

if ya ain't from the big apple, move on... for those of you left, I will be heading to nyc from kansas city in early July to see Gene at the Mercury Lounge. i would sincerely appreciate any advice on where to stay (cheap), where to go, what galleries/museums are good, where to eat, and what the names and locations of the best record shops (imports/bootlegs galore) are. i don't know the city very well at all, and your first-hand advice would be wonderful. I hope to hear from some of you... sorry for the self indulgence. you may continue.

I am but a "lurker", but I couldn't help respond to this one. I don't think I have much to say on it. I would just like to say that you should do all you can to help him through this problem. It is most likely a phase of some sort of bad things happening to him (these things usually are) and you should try to let him know that everything always gets better. It's the truth. At least in my experience. If he doesn't listen, never blame yourself, as hard as that will seem. Just try to help him, and know you did all you could for a friend you loved and cared for. About the new album: It took more time than usual to get into this one, but I have reached the point at where I like all the songs to a certain extent. I love several. It's a really good album, No "strap" or IYFS, but still good. I find it funny that the hardcore BS fans are more critical of them than most of the critics are. Well, this is Lokar signing off for now. -Lokar +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: V-Twin stuff
by Niall Barr 19 Jun '00

19 Jun '00

Hi, The V-Twin gig in Paris that Claire mentioned is on the 21st - the band have all had to go through a security check to make sure they're not really terrorists or something because Jaques Chirac is going to be there. The concert is also going to be on TV (though V- Twin's part may end up on the cutting room floor) - if they do get shown and anyone over there can video it for me I would be most grateful. The only thing I could find out about it on the web is this.. "Hôtel Matignon 19h00 - fin : 23h30 - genres musicaux multiples Concert dans les jardins de Matignon : Programmation exceptionnelle avec lOrchestre de Paris qui interprétera le 4ème mouvement de la IXème Symphonie de Beethoven sous la direction de Philippe Aïche. A quelques jours de la Présidence française de lUnion Européenne, et dans le cadre des partenariats européens de la Fête de la Musique, lOde à la Joie ouvrira également la soirée du 21 juin, dans différentes versions, à Athènes, Barcelone, Berlin, Bruxelles, Budapest, Istanbul, Liverpool, Naples et Rome, entre 19h et 20h. Carte blanche est ensuite donnée aux Négresses Vertes qui accueilleront des artistes invités européens, V-Twin (Ecosse), Mascarimiri (Italie) et le Trio Amestoy de Toulouse..(Ouvert au public. Les cartons d'invitation seront disponibles à partir du samedi 17 juin à la loge de Matignon, 57 rue de Varenne)." Their next single 'Delinquency' is due out sometime in August, and I think it's their best yet - a lot funkier than the last one, with a good dance vibe to it. There's also a mini album probably going to be released soon after that which will contain just about they've recorded so far.
