Sinister: Formication
by Rose, Matthew (Expl) 29 Jan '01

29 Jan '01

Dear DJ Furry Rice Crispie, Tell your sister that formication is a sin (you can wipe clean)! Here at The Quiet Club we have made a compilation of old chill classics called: Home Taping Is Chilling Music You dig? Matt Rose The Quiet Club Bristol -----Original Message----- From: Robin Stout [mailto:ppyrrjs@nottingham.ac.uk] Sent: 29 January 2001 19:19 To: sinister Subject: Sinister: Staring at the pink formica It's a strange sense of guilt you feel when you sleep in someone else's bed and they don't even know about it. I stayed at my friend's house at the weekend and slept in the bed of the christian fundamentalist who usually lives there. Normally I wouldn't mind, and maybe it was because I'd been reading the Bible by his bed, but I suddenly felt very guilty about sleeping there. It's almost like wearing a stranger's pants without them knowing, isn't it? In Leviticus, I'm sure you'd be smote for that. My sister is very excited at the moment because she's organising her friend's hen night. She phoned me up telling me how she's found a brilliant hotel which is covered in plastic fur and pink formica. I'm a little worried about her enthusiasm and visible reddening about wipe-clean surfaces. What sort of party could she be thinking of? I hope it's going to be a tupperware party. At least we know where Erica's faux-fur has gone to. Personally, I'm reddening at the prospect of Belle and Sebastian Downtown style. When I was eight or nine Petula Clarke was my favourite singer. My sister and I used to record radio shows on our tape recorder and introduce songs from Cliff and Bros and lovely, glorious Petula. One of us would listen to the radio and the other would talk for a while into the recorder, then when a song came on the radio we'd quickly flick the switch and record it. For a while things were great, when we had the batteries we'd do a roadshow, and they used to call me the furry rice-crispie. Then Caroline came home with Dinosaur Jr Records and old-style DJs like myself weren't wanted anymore. I recorded my last show, span Downtown for one last time and dreamed of busy streets and plastic raincoats.

heidi ho! after all this talk about people trying to see if there was anyone else in their area, well i thought i would give it a try seeing as i just moved to Edmonton, Alberta and am having a bit or problem finding any people who just don't plain suck. maybe it is me. i don't know. but if you live around or in the city, drop me a line, and maybe we can have one of those picnics everyone is raving about. that is all. -some random girl- "you can't walk away from love" +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Re: Sinister: after the gold rush. Yes, Neil Young is indeed cooooool. try it, you'll like it!
by Vilkas D'Angelo-Horvath 29 Jan '01

29 Jan '01

Amy & the rest of you, Hey I'll introduce myself. It's Vilkas. (Ms. Vilkas, not Mr. Vilkas, there's sometimes confusion). I often enjoy your posts. It's like a peanut-gallery-massive. But I don't post much myself. I've been writing one in my drafts folder for about a month now, it never seems coherent enough to post. And this isn't it. So, there you have it: HI!. >>i agree with jenowl, ribena is the best drink in the world. but have you .>>tried vodka and ribena? mmmmmm, now that is lovely. what i miss the most >>is creamola foam though, does anyone else remember it? it came in a wee >>tub, it was pink powder and you added two or three tablespoonfuls to a glass >>of water and it fizzed up and tasted lovely. LIQUID FRUIT FLAVOURED CRACK So Ribena. Here, in the east coast seaboard of the US, Ribena is occaisionally sold in Asian grocerys. My local Indian food grocery has it in Orange Apricot, but not purple-berry flavour (?). The Chinese grocery store had the berry flavour squash/concentrate Ribena in purple berry. Speaking of flavour, while in Scotland, I got ***hooked*** on Irn-Bru. But there's no Irn-Bru here. None. There's a soda called Inca-Cola that they sell in my local Cuban restaurant. And again, in the specialty, hispanic/mexican/South American, grocery. It's pretty similar, y'know, carbonated bubble gum & liquid gummi bear mixed together flavour; but it doen't have that ***special*** thing that Irn-Bru has. Vodka & Ribena is good. Vodka & Irn-Bru is better. Vodka & RedBull is the best! Props to KennethRedBull. Geez, my last night in Glasgow, October 25th or 26th or something, some friends and me went out dancing 'n' stuff. Vodka & RedBulls were £1.50. Oh dear. I sobered up somewhere over the Atlantic ocean that was much closer to North America than it was to Glasgow International Airport. A few days later I was speaking with my friend Domenico about the combination hangover/jetlag cloud hanging above my head. He suggested that vodka & RedBull is what you drink when you want to break things. When you want to make out in the middle of the dance floor but only after dancing on the table. After breaking more things. I blushed as I had been found out. >:-). (Sorry about that, I'm still amused by emoticons.) >>was talking about 80's tv the otherday. does anyone else remember pugwall? >>teddy ruxpin? fraggle rock? round the twist? fingermouse? you and me with >>cosmo and dibs? charlie chalk? they don't make them like that anymore. SCARY TALKING BEARS Ooo, I remember Teddy Ruxpin. He scared me. I thought he was creepy. Mind you I wasn't even a little little kid at the time. I turned 9 in 1983; at 26, I'm a technically an adult. However Fraggle Rock, ***rocked***. To the tune of Faggle Rock: "Down at Fraggle Rock Dah Dah Dah!" Do you remember Snorks? Smurfs, He-Man, She-Ra, Thundercats, Mighty Mouse? Geez, there are so many wacky old shows from the 80s that didn't seem that odd in the 80s but now they do. My friend had a videocassette of 80s TV commercials. We watched them during as part of a sculpture critique which was odd in itself. The adverts were recorded on analog home video equipment back in the day. And they were edited together on contemporary, digital, professional equipment. What this did to the picture was nothing. What this did to the sound was turned it into a record at the wrong speed, then the right speed, then the wrong speed, and so on like that. It was crazy to see all those adverts; cos even with the wacky sound everyone watching remebered the jingles enough to hum along. Kinda scary. Actually really scary. i love neil young! and it's taken me since christmas to realise how much. sat in the 13th note last night avec fellow sinisterine dafyd, "after the gold rush" came on the jukebox and i was in love...that song is just so beautiful. my dear lovely sweetheart ross put "like a hurricane" on his christmas tape for me and it has the most lovely lyric "you are like a hurricane/there's calm in your eyes"...... 13TH-NOTE-RED-THAI-CURRY Lemme just say. One night in mid-October last year, I had been going about my day and had a 13th-note-red-thai-curry craving that had to be satisfied. It had been drizzling intermittently all day. Then, after I went home and frenshened up. As I walked across the street [:)] to hop on the underground it started to rain harder. Ok, 5 stops later, coming up the St. Enochs escalator, there was a typhoon waiting for me and any other poor folk wo dared leave the shelter of modern buildings. So I said fuck it, opened my umbrella to little use, and went curry hunting. Down Argyle street, still typhooning, down King street still typhooning. So I get to the corner. It's just the time of day so that it's dusk but the windows are still reflecting the sunlight so you cannot see in. Turn the corner, open the door, shake a little bit of water off, look up. They've got the candles in bottles lit. On every table. And then some. The whole place is lit by these candles. What with the warm, terracotta coloured ceilings and all, it was like walking into a freakin cathedrel in a movie or something. My Bloody Valentine was on the speakers. It was sooooo nice to be in there then. Such a nice surprise. If only I'd been with a young man I'd fancied. (And who'd fancied me, but thats a whole nother story that doesn't need to see the light of day. dammitdammitdammit.) But are you ever just going along, and you happen upon a really *nice* pleasant place to be. Like you're waliking down the street and you look up and there's nothing but blue in the sky? Yep, that's it. Plus, they had 13th-note-red-thai-curry. It's good. Mmmmm. And Pine Ale. It's good, Mmmmm. Going to go and see some local folks play music now. Denali. I've heard they're good. And Patrick Phelan. He's good. A little derivative like "Please I wanna be like chemikal underground"; but that's ok. It's still really nice, he's got this supersmooth voice. So if you know him, i'm not ragging, OK?

Re: Sinister: fraggle rock and muuuum

I'm sure it's the same band, I've seen the name like that before. It has no vocals . . . . I'm not sure how else to describe it. Kind of electronic . . . slow, but not too slow. I'm not very good at desribing this. It's something you could fall asleep to, not dance to. That kind of electronic. And more melodic that typical electronica music (i don't even know what that is, only what my own definition is!). I hope that helps. "I remember hearing that those girls were Icelandic. And I've heard of an Icelandic band called Mùm. Is it the same band, or is this just a coincidence? What kind of music did their band play?" Simon "p.s. content: remember the two girls on the cover of fold your hands, you walk like a peasant? (i can't bring myself to write the acronym (spelt wrong?))

Sinister: fraggle rock and muuuum
by Megan Conniff 28 Jan '01

28 Jan '01

I have to admit that Fraggle Rock is possibly my favorite show ever. I used to spend a lot of time on Napster downloading Fraggle songs. I can't believe my first post on sinister was about Fraggle Rock. But I couldn't let a Fraggle Rock comment just pass me by. ~ Megan p.s. content: remember the two girls on the cover of fold your hands, you walk like a peasant? (i can't bring myself to write the acronym (spelt wrong?)) I sent away for the free tape of their band, Muuuum, and it was wonderful! Their song is gorgeous, I'd recommend it. I can't remember where I got the address from the guy who sent it to me, I might have gotten it from sinister. He might BE on sinister. I honestly can't remember. It's Matt at mrhairy(a)spitefulrecords.freeserve.co.uk if you're interested. And Mr. Matt, if you're out there, I thank you for the cheerful letter and the tape and as soon as I think of something clever and useful (like cash ;-) )to send you, I will! _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: The centre of my so-called being
by Mike K 28 Jan '01

28 Jan '01

Neil Young is King....saw him live about 2 weeks ago, amazing. Funny to see him two hours after Oasis and see that he's got more energy than 'em all combined. Woke up with a headache and a memory of a bizarre B&S dream. I'm sure the details interest little-to-none of you so I'll spare them and just note that I really ought to sleep at less odd times to avoid such dreams. it rained cats dogs and mice last night and traffic was a nightmare. the heat and humidity of brazilian summers is killer. i long for lazy northern hemisphere nights with the chill wind biting at your cheeks and the light snow falling on windows. but then all my friends up north tell me that i'm insane and should shut up and go outside. Put on Tigermilk at full volume this morning to see if i got any reactions from the neighbours, one who owns 14 cats and 5 cats (oh the sleepless nights spent trying to achieve sleep while ignoring the loud noises of pet copulation next door) the other i've never actually seen but have nasty ideas of, based on the crap music he or she puts on every morning. whoever mentioned Fraggle Rock, true, tv just isnt what it used to be. mind you, it wasnt much before, anyway. the remote control is an outlet for peoples' frustration at the lack of control they exert over their own lives.

Sinister: after the gold rush
by Amy Jackson 28 Jan '01

28 Jan '01

oh my goodness! i love neil young! and it's taken me since christmas to realise how much. sat in the 13th note last night avec fellow sinisterine dafyd, "after the gold rush" came on the jukebox and i was in love...that song is just so beautiful. my dear lovely sweetheart ross put "like a hurricane" on his christmas tape for me and it has the most lovely lyric "you are like a hurricane/there's calm in your eyes"...... *sigh* this weekend has been pretty cool. showed daf the sights, and i went to the top of the tower at the lighthouse which was very scary because i'm scared of heights. but i managed it none the less. have been listening to mogwai a lot too, cos i saw stuart braithwaite do an acoustic set at sleazy's the other night....i could well get into my post rock. i just realised i haven't seen the news for ages and ages. in may LovelyRoss is visiting Gairloch with some of his friends. I think I'll have to go home too. To show him around and stuff. Though that'll take all of two minutes since it's one road in, same road out. (and you think i'm joking. i'm not.) i can't wait. i *really* want to go home and sit on the beach when it's windy, the sea goes all bottle green and the waves crash in over the rocks and white spray goes everywhere and it is great. then i collect shells which is cool too, i take them home, wash them and lay them out on the front step. that's one thing about gairloch that is better than glasgow, you can't go shell-collecting here. i think KenRedBull worries too much about whether girls like him or not. though i can't really talk considering i constantly worry whether boys like me too. i mean, the boys that i'm friends with like me as far as i know, but as for "potential boyfriends" i have no idea. it's all just too confusing. i agree with jenowl, ribena is the best drink in the world. but have you tried vodka and ribena? mmmmmm, now that is lovely. what i miss the most is creamola foam though, does anyone else remember it? it came in a wee tub, it was pink powder and you added two or three tablespoonfuls to a glass of water and it fizzed up and tasted lovely. was talking about 80's tv the otherday. does anyone else remember pugwall? teddy ruxpin? fraggle rock? round the twist? fingermouse? you and me with cosmo and dibs? charlie chalk? they don't make them like that anymore. right, i better go, loadsa love, amy xxxxx _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: her dubious debut
by Jennifer Gray 28 Jan '01

28 Jan '01

I've been out of the nursery for a while, just reading the posts when I get home from work, getting to know everybody... I'm a little nervous about posting, which I notice is common. I think it's because there are so many good writers on the list! You all write so amusingly! How can a dimwitted lass such as I hope to write anything befitting such an illustrious list? Blegh, I can't. I'll barrel ahead anyway. Damn the torpedoes... I drink way too much chocolate milk. But even though I know it's making me fat, I keep doing it. I have really short breaks at work, no time to eat *and* smoke a cigarette. So I drink chocolate milk and smoke at the same time, and just *feel* like I ate. This morning I took my half-finished choclate milk out of the refrigerator at work before I left, and I noticed a whole bunch more in there. I'll bet they're all mine. Somehow this struck me as extremely funny. I'm waiting to see if the whole refrigerator fills up with half-full chocolate milks. Then I'll *know* they're mine. That would be hilarious. A monument to my greatness. I'm tired and silly. B+S content: I had "Stars of Track and Field" stuck in my head all day. Especially the part about terry underwear. No one knows who they are here. And it's so hard to describe what kind of band they are. Especially to people who wouldn't understand what "indie" means. And so I pack plastic bottles at work, listening to B+S inside my head. hmmm....my opinions are not nearly as elitist or "hip" as they once were...since I got married, I haven't been part of any scene. So, I've made do, and learned that you can really be friends with all kinds of people, even if they listen to crappy music, and you have nothing in common with them. But certain music (like The Smiths and B+S) has become such a part of me, my identity, that I still feel really alienated sometimes. You can't explain to them what you listen to, and they probably wouldn't like it anyway. Ack, this has become redundant. But you understand what I'm saying. In a sort of response to recent posts (I don't remember who wrote them, but you will know who you are): to the girl in Oklahoma, so am I. To the girl who has a mad crush on a married man, so do I. But anyway. Hi, everyone! I will beat a hasty retreat now. XXXOOO Jenny __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Sinister: Chickfactor, 90 day men, kicking giant, bowlie list, and other wonderful things..
by Andrew CHurchman 28 Jan '01

28 Jan '01

hiya everyone, well, another weekend of great record findings, and a little B+S content as well. First let me just gloat about some of the jems i picked up this weekend... The new 90 day men CD, an incredible off-kilter, dynamic, furious band from Chicago, a MUST! The black Dice 7" from Gravity (oohhh, scary!), the Cannanes international pop underground 7" for $1.00!!, the delux packaged "promo" version of Halo by Kicking Giant, absolutly amazing packaging and the sweetest band. Also picked up Chickfactor #13. I don't know if anyone mentioned this, but there's a great interview with Stevie in it. Also great features on the Clientele and Papercuts fanzine, which i'm sure some of you sinisterines would enjoy. I'm hoping a kind sinisterine could help me out too? I was just curious if anyone knew the line up for the Bowlie weekender? If anyone could tell me all the bands that played it'd be much appreciated. OK, that's it for now. see ya later. --- andrew "I never cheat but I always get caught" - Les Savy Fav __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
