Sinister: Wurd to yo mama
by The Hodottir 30 May '01

30 May '01

The word FACETIOUS contains all the vowels in order. It's my job to know these things, but then it's my job to know lots of useless facts while I play with words and pictures (I'll admit I'm feeling strange).. To anyone who's still with me - hello. Anyone who knows knows that The Hodottir is Scottish, but she lives in London where there are more bank holiday weekends than hours of sunshine. We just had one, and it was grate. I got drunk for 3 days and fell over only once (can't decide whether to blame the vodka or my new muji flip-flops), but I was glad to escape with a scuffed toenail. Sorry - this is a useless post, although I did clear up the word thing. Anyway, there's too much content to go around these days. Love, life and laundry, Miss Ho x _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: A SUMMER WASTING: Los Angeles Picnic 2001
by Brier Random 30 May '01

30 May '01

OK.... Hushed plans were made and top-secret discussions were had in dark cavernous meeting-places, and now we're ready to emerge from underground with the announcement of A SUMMER WASTING: Los Angeles Sinister Meetup 2001, on Saturday June 9, starting at Griffith Observatory and ending up who knows where. See our webpage for more details and to sign up: www.asummerwasting.homestead.com Everyone in the western US is urged to cancel all previous plans; whether you drive, walk, thumb, crawl, or tapdance there, you *shall* attend. We'll picnic on the grass under the statue of Galileio, listen to music, dance, eat, chuck the frisbee, admire the view of the LA skyline and 'Hollywood' sign, re-enact scenes from "Rebel Without A Cause", maybe even take a short hike in the hills (is this a first, a Sinister hike?). We might even actually enter the Observatory to (gasp!) learn a thing or two about astronomy or planets or something. From there, we'll probably carpool to Aaron's Records to browse LA's largest and best selection of new & used CDs. Then to a cafe? Then to Canter's (or maybe Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles for some soul-food?) if we're still hungry. And Adrian has already scored the Ribena! BEING FOR THE BENEFIT OF SINISTER: The Pickle Prince will dance and sing, as Ernie S. flies through the ring without a sound! And Rachel C. will demonstrate ten somersets she'll undertake on solid ground. And of course, Henry the Horse dances the waltz. So don't be shy! There will probably only be about 15 or 20 of us, and we're all really friendly and nice. Honest! Bring something yummy to eat, instruments to play, and music to hear. And bring friends!! I'll have a portable CD player, and my digital camera to record the moment for those poor souls who can't attend. But if you're within a 600-mile radius on that day, we expect to see you there! Clothing optional. Love, Your Los Angeles Ambassadors-who-can't-wait-to-meet-you www.asummerwasting.homestead.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you...
by Walkn10＠aol.com 30 May '01

30 May '01

Howdy folks, I know I haven't posted very much in a very long time so many of you probably have no idea who I am. For those that do remember my semi-coherent ramblings and ravings (and my undying defense of Ringo), I'll be leaving the list. I just don't have time to keep up with the posts anymore, although I'm sure they're as good as always, and my internet obsession has long since passed on. Its been quite a lot of fun and I hope everyone I met while on here will keep in touch (Nick Dastoor, Jeanette, Marie, Christa, you know who you are). As for B&S, I'm sure they'll make records as lovely as they always did but it seems like they're increasingly tied in with something that used to mean something to me, but just isn't there anymore. If anyone is in the area, I'll be at the University of Maryland at College Park come this Fall, so drop by, drink a few 40s and listen to records if you get a chance. My band Callow is also gonna be on a compilation next month with the Aislers Set and the Lucksmiths, and we'll be up and down the East Coast this summer, so don't be a stranger. Well, I wish I could say I'm retreating into wine, women, and song but...I am. Later Steve C. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* "Which Paul?" "BLAH!" visit http://callowkids.tripod.com or your crush will hate you forever Call WRNR 103.1 at (410) 269-1031 and request Callow's "Lessons in Shut-eye" or you will have bad luck...forever or something. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Re: Sinister: Leigh (only one hour North of Auckland) ... are you ready to rock?
by scott mannion 30 May '01

30 May '01

*scott the ever dormant (though always listening) listee decides to add his two pennys* As 'one of the three' listees in attendance I think I should also comment on what a fantastic evening it was. It was the second time I've properly met Lawrence, and Sean (the visiting London doctor) also drove for an hour and a half to attend, my first meeting with him. It's amazing that, because of this list, you can meet a stranger and immediately have something in common with them. I also met a girl at the end of the night who I worked out listens to B&S, it seems she would be a listee but she hasn't worked out how to join yet (I know I was confused at first). I told her it was worth the effort, so maybe things are looking up down here. Come on all you closet NZ listees, this could become a beautiful thing. Unfortunately I was a little stressed out as I was doing the sound for the evening (for my own group as well), and we had problems with things breaking and stuff (if it wasn't for a friend deciding she should give me a massage, I don't think I would of coped...mmmm). The show was the first time Lawrence or Sean had seen The Brunettes, but I have the good fortune to be currently recording their debut album with Jonathan, the mastermind behind the group. My position might seem a little biased, but I really think this band is something magic, there's nothing I wouldn't do for them. Recording harpsichords and glocks and string quartets is sooooooo much fun (though going two nights at a time without any sleep is less fun :)) Though I hate the idea about talking about my own music in a list post, I feel I just have to point out a couple of thing related to Lawrence's post. Firstly (and this is going to seem very nitpicky), the project is actually called plasticene with an e. It's not Lawrence's mistake, it's my flatmates, who took it upon himself to put that song on mp3.com, and to spell the name differently (oh and the dreadful artwork has nothing to do with me either)...but I still love the guy anyway, I just didn't want to hurt his feelings for the effort he went to, and I have no idea how to change it myself :) Has there been a discussion yet about how cool 'The Prisoner' is? (60s t.v. show), recently finished watching the series.

Sinister: there's been an accident, oh no
by chris perriman 29 May '01

29 May '01

morning everybody, heres what i got up to yesterday (following the mikkelmeister's gig review, here's mine) -------------------------------------- bank holiday monday. went to middlesbrough, saw some bands in a park and in "the crypt" (the basement of the town hall) here's my synopsis SIZER BARKER liverpudlian indie 5 piece, super furryesque synths, comedy facial hair 6/10 CLEARLAKE not as good live as they are on record, a bit dissapointing 4/10 PROUD MARY a big bunch of SHITE. richard ashcroft lookalike singer with his oasis clone band (the bass player had the same bass as andy bell for god's sake) all wearing shades like it wasn't raining, huge heads coz they're sighned to noel gallagher's label with identikit oasis solos over identikit oasis chord sequences. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO WATCH OR LISTEN TO THIS BAND, YOU WILL BE SEVERELY DISSAPOINTED. 0/10 COOPER TEMPLE CLAUSE while proud mary struck rock god poses, cooper temple clause *were* rock gods for the 3 quarters of an hour they were on stage, so many instruments being swapped in record time, storming through songs, literally a wardrobeful of synths, effex and drum machines (an actual wardrobe sized flightcase!). 4 vocal mics so that whoever's turn it was to sing would be near one as the drummer was the only one *not* leaping and bounding about the stage. I LOVE THIS BAND, YOU SHOULD TOO. please go and see this band live if you get the chance, i urge you. pure adrenaline, a triumph for the flared generation.10/10 here comes a panzer attack! SHED 7 woooh! after all that mayhem it's time to have a right old sing song to everyone's favourite britpop stragglers. 7/10 for effort ALFIE second best band of the day, amazing also. stoolrock at it's best, cellos are the best instrument in the world (apart from a low slung rickenbacker 4001 bass, mmmm). back to alfie, fantastic comeback from a heckler "i didn't quite catch that mate, but it looked nasty so if it *was* nasty then fuck off" original. the trumpet player got a fan's camera and went round the stage photographing the band for her, jolly nice chaps. 9/10 went to get the train back to newcastle at 7:30 but missed it by 5 minutes, bugger. had to sit on the platform till 11pm then on darlington platform from 11:20 till 12:12am then got home at around half 1, god i hate trains. wish i had a car. all together a good day though. -------------------------------------- somebody mentioned a band called BEARSUIT. i saw their single in a shop today so i had to buy it (nuff respec to whoever the mystery bearsuit fan is, thanks) a cross between bell & sebastian (boy/girl harmonies) and bis (low fi shenanigans) and incredibly twee to boot. i'm sounding like a reviews page here, forgive me. but if anybody wants me to write for their fanzine that'd be fab, i've always harboured dreams of being a writer and *my* fanzine never got off the ground. don't guitars make girls look fab, any girl can look fantastic if she picks up a guitar, it's like some magic property. and basses are even better, it nust be something to do with the proportion of guitars to girls, they complement each other extremely well. don't you think? that or i've got a fettish sorry for wasting everybody's time with this drivel, i'll go now bye Pez* www.pez.com - the wonderful world of pez ;) ivorytowers.8m.com - ivory towers records www.drpez.com - Dr Pez, Spain's premier fish doctor (i think) _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: I forgot.....I also have the new EP....
by Jordi Trenzano 29 May '01

29 May '01

Ummm, I agree with Chris, "Jonathan David" is much better than "The wrong girl", and has a grate StruanŽs background vocals. "Take your carriage clock and shove it" features a pedal-steel !!! and what is best, itŽs combined with orquestal arrangements that some friend of mine has compared with Vivaldi ;) IŽm wondering whoŽll play the pedal stell if iŽs played live. DonŽt think about hiring Jack Hayter from Hefner, I saw him playing here (and 2 other listees did with me) and the pedal-steel was falling from his hands. Ohhh, such a great song. "The loneliness...." barely has changes from the TV version that many of us have on MP3. The final "whistles" are a bit better, tough. Love and pedal-steels (I know, theyŽre not better than bass guitars) Jordiet Sinistre ______________________________________________________________ For up-to-the-minute music news, reviews and specials visit http://www.nme.com Get free e-mail (anyname(a)nme.com) now at http://www.nmemail.com The sender of this e-mail is NOT an employee or associate of NME, nme.com or any other IPC magazine. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
