Sinister: I'd Rod-ther Go Blind/Good Time
by Peter Miller 17 Aug '00

17 Aug '00

I agree with Nick that "On Stage Tonight - Baldry's Out!" looks like the best bet for hot "I'd rather Go Blind" action. BUT! won't it have Rod Stewart on vocals? Jean Knight does it too, along with "My Toot Toot". While I was searching for these treats I came across that Brian Wilson tribute album featuring the entire population of Glasgow, and thought I was one step ahead of the pack when I saw Stevie Jackson on it, but a quick search of the archives shows me to be hopelessly out of date. But I do know where the song comes from, sort of. It was on a bootleg with a picture of an indian on the front. And I think there was a version by Spring, or American Spring or whatever. It features a reference to falsies, which I hope Stevie has kept in. Is the organ Beans-driven? Is the album any good? I picked it up to have a look at it the other day, but I was so disgusted by the presence of Eugene Kelly that I put it down again before I got to Stevie. I've got a Northern Soul book, so watch out! Picnic solution: why not have two picnics, one for Magnetic Fields fans and one for anybody with some semblance of intelligence? Yeah, that's right... hold on, this isn't going to work, is it? No one wants to have a fight about the Magnetic Fields. They are rubbish, you know. No? Oh bloody sod yer then. Idleberry, I have heard B&S is in the cinema, at kicking out time.

Sinister: Unhappy juxtapositions
by Nick.Dastoor＠guardian.co.uk 17 Aug '00

17 Aug '00

> well, surely the difference between reading and seeing is like the > difference between listening and hearing, non? Yeah, that would be all very well if the line were presented in the order "written for anyone to see and to read". One can see what's on the bus stop without reading it but cannot read it without seeing it. So the 'see' bit is redundant. Unless you buy Mike the renegade monk's interpretation of 'see'. But I don't. I just think SM's filling out the line. >> Can anyone remember anything re. Drop Nineteens? I wish I could. > aaah the long lost days of 92 - the drop nineteens were all nineteen > (inspired) and did the really quite wonderful 'my aquarium' ('when > you smiiiile - i think it's bedder the second time around, and at the > end - you can do it agaaaaain...') thems were the days. No they bloody weren't. I remember the Drop Nineteens. I remember taking an intense dislike to them when the lead singer did an interview with the NME in which he boasted about people being much richer in the USA. 'People's house in England are just so... shitty compared to the States', he said. Fuck off back to Delaware you blinkered shit, I thought. Later I thought it was refreshingly honest, but then I changed my mind again. Peter Miller will find lots of versions of 'I'd rather go blind' if he goes to cdnow.com and does a song title search. I liked the prospect of Little Milton's version until I found out it was on a 1998 album that starts with a track called 'Big Boned Woman' and follows it with one called 'He Saw An Opening', which seemed an unhappy juxtaposition. Maybe it's just me. Instead I recommend he goes for Long John Baldry's 'On Stage Tonight-Baldry's Out!' I agree with Mark for once. 69 Love Songs pisses all over 'Get Lost'. That's a good thing in my book. Would anyone like to read my book. It's not all golden showers, you know. Has anyone bid for Belle and Sebastian's services yet?

Sinister: I ding dong merrily, I'm high
by Williams Adam (Mr A) 17 Aug '00

17 Aug '00

aah. You see, having posted i wait. And I wait. Then about four and a half hours later, my message still not having appeared and used as i am to them disappearing into the ether without so much as a rejection response, I re-send. And, consequently my message DOES appear twice. Arse. i apologise profusely, but I have been under some not inconsiderable strain of late. My mind has been plagued with a recent event but my therapist is an oaf with a Milwall FC pen and would not begin to understand. So, like Mel C, I turn to you my dear Sinisterettes, sure as I am of your discernment due to your avowed musical preferences. Let me illuminate you. I am a man of impeccable breeding and discernment. Sent down to improve and edify those less refined than myself by the powers that be, I have successfully infiltrated all sectors of society and bought Titian to Toxteth, Mozart to Mile End, Goethe to the Gorbals. Call me a missionary if you will, it's a position I accept. Alas, however, although my faculties are great my means are finite. Thus after a period of some self-denial, I was able to afford a fine '76 Veuve Cliquot I had been hampering after for some months. A night of joy, one will surely agree, lay ahead. But calamity lay along those darkened streets from the merchant to the maisonette. The usual hurdling of the homeless was easy enough, but how was I able to anticipate interception by a blackguardly youth? Stepping out the shadows with a Stanley knife he sneered at me. "What you got in the bag, prick?" Now, i fear no-one and nothing, and rather than take this as a threat, i decided to take it as an opportunity. To drink alone is a tragedy, so why not wean this infant off his 'Special Brew' (pah! 'tis the milk from a dastardly whore!) and introduce him to the finer things in life. My god, I could even play him Electronic Renaissance! I reached into the bag, brandished the bottle. Wanting him to read the label I thrust the bottle into his face. Oops. i swear he edged forwards but the glass shattered as swiftly as the bridge of his nose. What had I done? I had to make amends. I noticed the break (the bottle, obviously) had been clean and most of the precious nectar was still in the 60% of the receptacle i was holding by it's neck. We could still share a drink after all... I adopted the tone one must with these common types - a brusque street drawl with profane inflection. In my role as educator, I felt a paternalistic tone of address was necessary. So, parrying and thrusting (I cut a dapper figure with the foil) the bottle towards him so he could sample the bouquet, i stated "Come on sunshine, you fucking want some?", and the scamp scampered. Half a bottle gone and a social rejection in the same evening. Really, some of the plebiscite have no manners. Be slinky, a. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: an A grade f*ck up/ uk garage all star annoys me/ struan and isobel seen outside/other ramblings...
by amy_jackson0 17 Aug '00

17 Aug '00

fellow popkids, this Scottish exam results crisis/f*ck-up has left me all shades of miffed. although i've got my results, can i trust them? will i get a letter in a few days saying, "actually, miss jackson, you did not get an A and three Bs, you got four D's. sorry." it's possible. some of my friends didn't even get an envelope through their door, others had results missed off the certificates and one of my friends got awarded a B for her Higher German, when she didn't even sit German this year! it's so stoopid. and now the universities have abandoned the administration until at least next week, so everyone has even longer to wait to see if they've got a place at uni. the education system is crap. but, no education = no future, as the mighty mogwai say. ho hum. B&S content. my mate niall saw struan and isobel walking down sauchiehall street after he was at a graham coxon gig. just thought i'd mention it... that craig david guy is really beginning to annoy me. all of his songs are about his sexual conquests! for example, the one before last was about how he seduced his next door neighbour and took her out but her parents didn't approve, and his new one is about how he met "a beautiful honey with a beautiful body" at an underpass on monday, took her for a drink on tuesday and they did some bedroom gymnastics on wednesday, thursday, friday and saturday, then he "chilled" on sunday. bluddy right an' all. talk about having a one track mind. and he grows this bum fluff all over his chin and calls it a beard and he wears that god awful wooly hat all the time! i'm sorry, but the guy really aggravates me. you non-uk sinisterines don't know how lucky you are. although he is apparently gonna work with puff grandpa, so you'll be subjected to some monotone mumbling from the puffster and hearing all about the boy david's trans-atlantic conquests. oh joy. been listening to jeff buckley a lot lately. absolute blissful beauty. voice of an angel. 'nuff said i think. adios, amy xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: B+S content shock and...re:Wad Stewart?
by idle berry 17 Aug '00

17 Aug '00

Sarah said: >>I don't hear Belle & Sebastian much in shops, especially not the Gap. So perhaps thats why I don't find it cynically amusing to hear that an employee decided to play Belle & Sebastian one day, and someone recognised them... I'd just think "oh hey B&S!", and then hope that it was a hot boy standing behind the counter who was playing them. After reading that, it made me wonder, where have other sinisterians heard B+S being played? So far I can personally list ooh, all of three places: 1. Record Shop, Fopp, in Edinburgh. Around the time of the re-release of Tigermilk. I'd had it fed to me so much I relented and ended up buying my first B+S record. And my second. I got BWTAS as well. You can probably guess what happened after that... 2. At my hairdressers, Paterson SA in Edinburgh. Bonus, my hairdresser looks like Jamie Naked Chef, downer, he hates B+S. But hey, they played BTWTAS!! it was frustrating sitting there with wet hair piled high having to sit still when Dirty dream came on.... the temptation to jump up and dance.... 3. In Glasgow, in some Jewellry shop, with Mark, and we were buying a brooch for his mum's birthday back in April. I can't remember the name of the shop, it was in The Buchanan Galleries, near Boots or H+M, and they played "If You're Feeling Sinister" very very quietly. So we bopped our heads along quietly and stayed til it had finished. And bought a brooch as well. Anyone else experienced a B+S taste moment overcoming whoever is selecting the background music in a shop? Oooh, and while I am here, I got a new animation. This one is hand drawn, and so far, good reports from people. The link to go to is: http://www.geocities.com/idleberry/lovestory.html Its quite long so far, and I'm working on part two, with all sorts of hidden references and things in it. Its created especially for B+S fans. Okay, thats me off now. Later! Idles __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send instant messages & get email alerts with Yahoo!

Sinister: SiNiSteR PiC-NiC: LoNdoN, 27th August; more info!
by velocity farewell 17 Aug '00

17 Aug '00

Hello again, Well, after asking Mr Martin Robinson for his assistance in organising the picnic, here I am with more details... First of all I would like to say that I'm really sorry if the 27th seems to be inconvenient for some people; I really wish you could all make it but that seems impossible and anyway it's hard to try to please all the people all the time... The picnic's going to take place on Sunday the 27th August at Greenwich Park... and a big thanks to Juicy Lucy for her kind words and because she reminded us that on the 27th is SiNiStEr'S BiRtHdaY 3 years of sinister... so we must have a picnic to celebrate... the other reason for having the picnic on that day is that next day, Monday the 28th is a bank holiday, so people won't have to go to work... If it was up to me, we could have had the picnic next weekend which would be fine as I'll be in London for holidays, so I'm not really bothered when it's taking place... but the 27th seems to be ideal... Ok, enough with this... Let's get on with the details: As I said in my previous post we're meeting at 2pm near the statue on the top of the hill... Martin said he's going to meet you either at Maze Hill station, if you get the 13:32 train from London Charing Cross arriving at Maze Hill at 13:50. Then he can meet people at the statue at 2pm, or in the picnic area which is about 50 yards along the top of the hill on the left as you walk away from the statue and the river. His mobile number in case anyone is lost and needs Martin to send a rescue team is: 07968 369985 WhAT If It RaInS - WhAT If It PiSSeS DowN If it rains there is a cafe next to the picnic area where we can run for cover, if it's pissing down all day then we'll go to the Trafalgar Pub or somewhere... If you go to Trafalgar Pub and see noone there, just call Martin on his mobile and he, again, will send a rescue team... OK? I think we have everything covered now... Oh, BG Mark said: > See you kids at whatever picnic wins the battle of > the picnics Mark, there isn't any picnic battle!! Is there? That's all... take good care and if you need anything, just email me, but please, off the list... there's no reason why we should "swap the list with short posts" about the picnic... hugs Vel xxx ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: Sinister: human cloning

so pixidust lady was saying: "this pro-life campaigner - a woman - said that creating an embryo, taking the stem cells, and then discarding the embryo, was the equivalent of murder." I'm wondering if this same woman finds it murderous to eat lettuce. Lettuce is quite alive and kicking when you bite the hell out of it. so ive come to believe. we are constantly commiting this crime we call murder. in almost every step we take. but i wont get into that. So anyway...I was talking to someone i work with about music. she brought up "indie sock" . i was thinking, "what in gods name is 'indie sock'". but i figured it would be impolite to ask. so i smiled. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Hate begins with science
by triumphant loser 17 Aug '00

17 Aug '00

With all this talk about cloning going on i can only come to one conclusion.....people who want it hate themselves, trying to make a better "you" through the marvels of science.The thought is rather idiotic when you think about it, i mean whats the sense?Humans playing with things not ment for them, thats what this is about......first we must harness the power of the atom in order to wipe out small nations...next thing you know we try to clone people for god knows what.Even if this idea does work out the copy is never as good as the original....and do you know why? Because we are not and never will be as smart as god. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

>Can anyone remember anything re. Drop Nineteens? I wish I could. >aaah the long lost days of 92 - the drop >nineteens were all nineteen >(inspired) and did the really quite wonderful 'my >aquarium' ('when you >smiiiile - i think it's bedder the second time >around, and at the end - you >can do it agaaaaain...') thems were the days. i remember the drop 19s only cause they wrote a song about winona ryder and it was ok but the rest of the album was dreadful, then i saw them live and paula hot rod was seen, by me the horror, kissing mat from revolver and the dropsies became an enigma after that because of perceived bad taste. actually though revolver's 'cold water flat' was one of the best shoegazing records ever, maybe. i was rebutted on another list by mcmicker, i guess no new hopkirk and lee album is imminent(no wonder it is raining here today for the first time in eons) and also they are not actually the new moose. he claims moose have covered a lot of ground and my comparison was ill advised. sorry. apparently they are not the new belle and sebastian either. sorry, again. also, apparently, 'the model' is a sped up version of century of fakers, i don't really hear the similarity but i have a tin ear. i suppose i don't listen close enough to make such empirical observations. sorry. is salako's ep on elefant part of their ongoing ep series? it is a swell ep. am i allowed to talk about salako on this list? i like how european labels tend to press their singles and lps on heavier vinyl. us labels too often pass of myelin sheath thickness records that come ready warped and nearly unplayable. keith m __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
