Sinister: The Nick Drake Premiere Party
by colin thornton 16 Aug '00

16 Aug '00

I thought that this bit of information would be wasted if I didn't inform the Sinister list about it. I'm jealous of anyone who lives close enough to Amsterdam to go to this thing... On September the 11th a special event is going to take place in Holland's best rock temple: the Paradiso, Amsterdam. Gabrielle Drake will host the premiere of the documentary 'A Skin Too Few-the days of Nick Drake'. Robert Kirby conducts a string ensemble playing his original Nick Drake arrangements live and for the first time since the albums were recorded. Amongst others John Wood will be there and is the soundengineer of that evening. Updates on extra appearances and on the documentary will follow soon. Also on: <http://www.nickdrakeworld.com/> and <http://www.algonet.se/~iguana/DRAKE/DRAKE.html> Just make sure you're there and spread the word! I love this list and all the crazy tautoligies. I could go for years without thinking of that word, but this lovely list never ceases to amaze me. Incidentally, why do you think Stuart "kicks the crutches from his crippled friend"? Is this song full of hyperbole? What is it supposed to mean?

Sinister: natural selection doesn't work that way
by Damon Seils 16 Aug '00

16 Aug '00

Hi. Clearly I have gone too long without posting. Just look at the Body Parts page, hidden behind dust and spidery things and men's briefs. You should be ashamed. I have randomly selected Harry Hunt (aka James McSuperman) to make our next body part contribution and to end the era of decay and neglect that Sinister's bits have suffered at the hands of the New Democrats. Harry, comply. This just in...latest quote-worthy statement from Harry Hunt..."I dont like anything organic that's not attached to a girl." Typical Yorkshire nonsense! Um, I don't know what that means. Sorry for the brevity here, but I expect that the wave of lewd photos arriving in Honey's inbox will more than compensate. I know *I'll* feel better. Hey, did you hear what they're planning for David Kitchen? I fantasize about you, Damo +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: hmmm- i'm thinking andrei bolkonsky popular incorporating Rod the Mod and his death squad
by Stephen Howarth 16 Aug '00

16 Aug '00

How do I make this bloody thing go. oh erm, stepping out of the shadows v.briefly here and then I'll run away again. this is my first post and I've not got me cardie on. I have got one. Somewhere. Kids, get used to the new B&S fans and "fans". For a start I'm one of the former. I've no doubt there are a fair few others on the list who didn't buy IFYS the moment it came out but does that mean I/they like them less than you do? All I'm saying is you've got to give other people a chance that's all. I mean I've been aware of them for a couple of years after hearing bits and bobs played at other people's houses on and off and I only started buying the records a couple of months back. I am slack, I know. Having said that though they've not been off the record player since. As for the "fans" it's happened to me before and I can empathise. Back in 1989 me and a mate were getting the pissed ripped out of us for listening to the Stone Roses just after they'd done the album, and we went to Ally Pally at the tender age of fifteen (Aaah memories....) BACK TO THE POINT THE POINT Yeah, so come mock exam time (Good luck with GCSE/ALEVELS/HIGHERSetc.etc btw) this fat twat, who was into jumping on the first passing bandwagon that happened to be passing, suddenly proclaims his love of all things Manchester, flared and hooded. THE REALLY GALLING THING THOUGH, was he was one of the arses who'd made my life hell by calling me a freak for six months. Next thing you know everyone's going round saying how they really love these bands and were always into them and had all their singles etc.etc. So yeah, get used to the ever increasing popularity of your favourite band and get ready for severe jealousy and irritation when the kids who thought they were crap suddenly think they're the best thing since sliced bread. I love them to bits but I'm never going to claim I loved 'em before any one else, am I? I'd be a fool to. RE: Rod and Chips Is that "I would rather go blind boy/than to see you walk away from me" etc. etc. I've got a version by a band called Chicken Shack from Top Gear c.1968 which is good, not sure if it's better than Rod the mod god squad 'cos I've never heard it and I'm not even sure if it's the same song..... "A Nod's as good as a wink to a blind horse" by Faces. It's the one with Stay With Me on it and the classic libe "Ronnie..can you let go of your guitar I'm getting incredible feedback shit." Splendid Bournemouth -> There used to be a good club next door to the Firefly and Firkin called Xtreme or something on Saturday, I don't know if it's still there and the one near the station(just up from the Texaco garage) which changed its name every three months (for tax reasons I assume) the Gardening Club/The hothouse/Other gardening related thing Running away now......

Sinister: human cloning
by the original pixidustlady 16 Aug '00

16 Aug '00

i know this has absolutely bugger all to do with B&S, but i've been sitting playing tetris, listening to the news, and the whole furore about human cloning that's come up after that government announcement about using human embryos for the stem cells really got me thinking. 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 thought that was ridiculous. fair enough, the clump of cells that makes up an embryo has the *potential* to become a baby and then be born and grow up to have many many life experiences, such as listening to B&S and realising that maybe life isnt quite so bad*, but surely until that happens, it's just a clump of cells. shouldn't it have to be concious to be considered alive, which would then make discarding it murderous? then a scientist/boffin type guy talked about what the medical researchers would actually DO with the cells they want to take from the embryos. apparently, stem cells can be used to grow organs (always useful for transplants) brain tissue (which he said could be used to combat things like Parkinsons and Alzheimers) and other useful bits and bobs. but of course, there's lots of debate and people throwing their hands up in horror, saying it's all a crime against the human race, etc etc. at this point i began to think about evolution. some people out there may think that what i'm about to say is a harsh viewpoint, but i can only apologise and say that it's only what I think, it's hardly gonna change the world. i have been thinking recently about evolution, natural selection, survival of the fittest etc., in relation to our species. i think that the human race, as a species, has backed itself into an evolutionary dead end. the development of medical science and technology over the last 200 years has meant that (and this is from a strictly biological perspective, i'm not trying to discriminate against anyone on the grounds of colour, creed, gender, religion, faith, age or anything else) people who would not have had the chance to breed because they would not have survived, have actually done so. the offspring produced therefore carry negative genetic traits. i saw an advert in a magazine last week for a cancer charity. it said that one in three people will get some form of cancer at some time in their lives. i was stunned. one in three. those aren't good odds. statistically, out of me and my two brothers, one of us is going to get cancer. i think that's a really scary thought. it makes me wonder if all our higher brain functions are really such a gift. we may be able to choose who we mate with, but is it really such a bonus to be able to override the survival instincts that tell our brains 'not him/her, s/he is not healthy'. in the end, the human race is going to die because there'll be nobody left fit enough to actually survive. i'm just trying to look at the bigger picture with all this, a sort of world view kinda thing. i know that there are many people out there whose lives have been affected by disease and things like cancer. i'm not trying to trivialise anyones problems or feelings, i'm just trying to make sense of something that scares me and that, at the moment, is slowly killing someone i love very much. this my of dealing with that, but i'm sorry if i have offended anyone. i would appreciate other people's thoughts on the subject. karen xxxxx *did you like the way i managed to get a little relevance in there!!?! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: stop me oh ho ho stop me.......
by sophie harris 16 Aug '00

16 Aug '00

* aside from gazing at a pic of jonathan richman (sans modern lovers) in his youth, these things have been distacting me from my verk. >I >reckon We Rule the School's "Written for anyone to read, and to >see" is firmly >in the 'stupid' camp . I think someone else said as much a while >ago. I mean >of course they can bloody see it if they can read it. >My feeling here is that SM means "to see" in the (possibly Biblical) sense of "to understand". on the subject of we rule the school i 'ave bin thinkin mainly two things. first (the worst) - well, surely the difference between reading and seeing is like the difference between listening and hearing, non? and second (the best) (is third 'the one with the hairy chest?' or am i barking up the wrong nursey rhyme?) - hmm, after my extra ordinary llpj walk home the other night, i really was filled with a lusty joy (erm), and felt on an upward keel. and the following day was really *swell*, and i kept thinking, something's gonna go wrong, it must do... and it did; my purse - my favourite one, pink leather with elephant - was pinched, swiped from my bag in the rubbishy griffin pub next door to charing cross. and my best tape too. and i tried so hard not to be upset, but it was truly parade-raining-on, 'cause my friend sam gave me the purse, and it's one of my most most pleasing *things*. anyway, my bestest friend marsha's russian granny says 'you own your things, they don't own you'. which is all very lovely, but i feel a bit like my teddy bear's been snaffled or something. *aaanyway*, the point of this, is that i then got on the train home, a little fuzzy around the ears (awful when you *were* drunk, and then something horrid happens, so you're kindof *sober* drunk), and i listened to 'we rule the school' and wanted to cry. and i thought, sod tautologies. this song's important to me because it's a hug ona train. so there (she said tweely, bugger). >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. and Peter said, >Does anyone know any versions of "I'd Rather Go Blind" except those by Rod, Etta James and Paul Weller? I need to find the best one, it can't possibly be Rod, much as I love him, the wee pervert. and i thought the definitive version was sidney youngblood? no? well i'm off to phone my bank manager, cause the bastard that knicked (or is it nicked?) my card has rung up 200 quid on somethingorother. but my bank manager and i have an undestanding 'cause we were both born on christmas eve. bonza. if only milk were sold in bags everywhere, specially with coffee crisps. although coffee republic's mango teazer is *terribly* nice.

Sinister: one of these days i'm gonna get organizized
by Adam.Williams＠dti.gsi.gov.uk 16 Aug '00

16 Aug '00

(if you've seen this - i'm sorry. So sorry) Oh hellllllooooooo poppet. LOVE the top. It's just so...you. What? This old thing? Why, I've had it ages. You really are too kind. But enough about me. Let's talk about us. Or the things that connect us, which, by and large means indie pop music and sulking. And gin. Actually, I've not had a very indiepop/sulky/gin time of it lately. Bought myself the Burt Bacarach Songbook CD which was so good I've soldered my CD player shut, In retrospect, this was a mistake. My turntable's in my Swiss mansion and the only other access to tunes i have in my London Bachelor pad is a rickety old tape player. Plus the only tapes i've mooched from the goblin that lives in my tape drawer have been Leonard Cohen and the Dead Kennedys. Consequently I've spent the entire week in a melancholic funk and feeling quite angry and aggressive about it. Hey ho. Couldn't be arsed with The Acid House. I've already got the B&S song and I can't abide Irvine 'vicarious junkie(*)' Welsh. I did turn on for about twenty seconds and it was excellent. Then the girl put her top on and started speaking and it went rubbish. Gosh, it's all a bit fourth form lit at the mo' innit? I'd love to contribute but don't know what the hell you're all on about, being unable to read anything more advanced than the Ladybird blue range meself. I don't know all this stuff about moronic oxen, but they don't sound fierce. They're probably too stupid to recognise a red rag if you waved it at them and hence couldn't get aggravated. Maybe if they borrowed my Dead Kennedys tapes... As for tautology, well i don't know what that means. I haven't even got one of those word-defining dictionary books in which to look it up. H'rrumph. And what's with the lingerie biz? I know that women who work together end up co-ordinating cycles, but for that many people to have red underwear on the same day seems like a biological miracle. I think i'll skip. Picnics? Well, if i'm about in London for bank holiday weekend (which is about a 50-50 shot at the mo') I'll be sitting in Greenwich Park and drunkenly abusing people with my usual loucheness. Hey, maybe I'll even come over and say hello to you lot as well. Stranger things have happened, especially to Jenowl. My soul hurts. i need to find a secular priest. Or a bar. Mmmmmm... see you on the other side. Or Greenwich, whichever's sooner. Be slinky. a.

well i've finally crawled out of my cubbyhole to bring you all another review of FYHC because i know you just can't get enough (of dave gahan in leather. erm, no thanks). anycrap, this tidbit is brought to you by our friends at mcsweeneys.net. you'll have to scroll down a bit to get to the b & s segment, but please do read the other reviews. i insist. without further ado: F R A N C I S H E A N E Y ' S L I P O G R A M M A T I C C O N S U M E R G U I D E . BY FRANCIS HEANEY - - - - A REVIEW OF BECK'S "MIDNITE VULTURES," USING ONLY THE LETTERS IN "BECK: MIDNITE VULTURES." It's... indiscreet. It's like, "dick, dick, dick; smut, smut, smut; vice, vice, vice; slut, slut, slut." Seductive Beck is Mister Luv. Is Beck music's kinkiest librettist ever? Beck, it seems, desires submissive bimbette mistresses under seventeen, dressed in slit miniskirts, derriere unveiled. But I'd surmise nine men in ten lust like Beck lusts; it isn't eccentric. Is "Midnite Vultures" sick? It'd incite tics in numbskull Bible Belt residents, sure, but it isn't sick, it's slick. Slick like crème brûlée, dude, believe me. "Midnite Vultures'" eclectic music revels in its ebullient leisure-suit-'n'-sideburns seventies vibe. Never mind its tunes' intermittent mindlessness. I like it. - - - - A REVIEW OF THE CURE'S "BLOODFLOWERS," USING ONLY THE LETTERS IN "THE CURE: BLOODFLOWERS." Oh, Lord. "Bloodflowers," where the out-of-touch Cure tell us, "Toodle-oo, fellow brotherhood of scowlers, we're bored." Well, we're bored too. Cheerless, self-obsessed Robert S. broods for the whole dull CD. Heretofore, Cure records were sorrowful, sure, but so short of soul? The wretched "Bloodflowers" follows Robert S.'s Rules of Order to the letter: Be blue, show oodles of woe, use two or three chords, flow too slow, blow out the subwoofers. The Cure's obsolete subculture'll doubtless feel the CD's cool, but the rest of the world should flee. Flee! Flee the terror of "Bloodflowers"! The CD's worth lots of four-letter words, but we'll be less rude; so, to close: Show "Bloodflowers" the cold shoulder. Blecch. - - - - A REVIEW OF XTC'S "WASP STAR," USING ONLY THE LETTERS IN "XTC: WASP STAR." XTC's art: strata apart.

Sinister: MP3s
by David White 16 Aug '00

Hello again, Youn J Noh said >When I downloaded Loneliness of a Middle Distance Runner, the end was cut >off. Was it that way for others, as well? I tried to download it again, >but the link no longer works. Of course, I'm grateful to be able to >listen to it at all. OK, firstly, I've fixed the dodgy link problem and anyone who couldn't download it should be able to now. Secondly the cut off end. I'm not sure about this, I put up the full version which should be bang on 5 minutes in length. If by the end is cut off you mean it ends quite abruptly after the cheering starts at the end, then thats because fat, unfunny radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles (who was the presenter) started talking and nobody needs to hear that. If this is not what you meant or if anyone else is experiencing problems please let me know ASAP and I'll try and sort it out! (I've not had any other complaints about that though) Incidentally I have got Lord Anthony on MP3 now and will be putting it on www.belleandsebastian.freeserve.co.uk soon. I'll post another message when its available for download.

Sinister: Wad Stewart?
by Sarah Clarke 16 Aug '00

16 Aug '00

Hello! There's an arguement about the Magnetic Fields? I didn't notice, all I will say is that upon meeting Stephin Merritts wicked evil mother I understand why he is such a big (short) grump-face. Meanie! Thats why Stephins gay, right, no decent female role models in his life! If it wasn't for his mother, he'd already be my husband. Not that he isn't my husband already of course, ha ha! He loves ME. Yeah! Wicked. Hmm I've just realised that makes it three gay American husbands I have. Someone made a comment that I seem to make sure I can't get hurt by going for the most unavaliable men possible, but I don't think thats true. I just think thats the way things happen! I picked up a book called Fag Hag the other day, but I didn't get it. I bought some DVDS instead!!! 'Go', and um....'Queer as Folk 2'.... d'oh... dvds are great! I am now the type of person that pops out and buys a few dvds, you knowworrimean... and then wanders off to Prada and picks up a few odd bits and bobs and then buys a spanking new stereo from Bang & Olufsen, before jetting off to Africa to visit their adopted meerkat sanctuary. Is anyone good at making spring rolls? I wonder if Stuart Murdoch can? He can drive you know, it said so in Select. 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. We could strike up a conversation, then go for 'coffee'.... ah the potential! Yummy. I do need to buy a nice pair of plain black trousers, I may visit my local Gap store... which of course is 40 miles away. If only they could promise me they would be playing Belle & Sebastian, or PJ & Duncan, or Kitty Craft, or 'Get Yourself Together' by Velocette. Which is a fantastic song! Who else thinks its great? I do. Who's going to the Lunding picnic? I am undecided. If I went, who would come and play DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION with me?? The Euromix machine is in Colindale, we could dance to the BUGGLES! How much better could it get? But if you don't want we don't have to go so far, we could just play the normal game. Dance Dance Revolution is the real deal, I bet if Baxendale ever played it, they'd cry in shame at how wimpy and weedy their 'sound of dance music' *really* is! Has Peter Miller ever played Dance Dance Revolution? OK! I am ended!
