Re: Sinister: top ten albums of all time - discuss
by Geoff Sheridan 25 Apr '02

25 Apr '02

That's off topic, this a teen angst list :) Good picks, although I probably wouldn't have bothered with the Mondays or Verve. What is definitely missing is the Tindersticks first album. I'd also add American Music Club's 'Mercury', but I'd probably be alone. Then Orange Juice 'You can't hide your love for ever' which every single fan of Scottish pop music should have welded to their turntable. Or something. Which would mean Belle and Sebby would have to go or it'd be a top eleven :( OK so here're my picks: 1 Jeff Buckley, Grace 2 Tindersticks, first eponymous 3 American Music Club, Mercury 4 Smiths, The Queen is Dead 5 Nick Drake, Pink Moon 6 Orange Juice, You can't hide your love for ever Dammit - it goes all 70s now... 7 David Bowie, Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars 8 Television, Marquee Moon 9 Patti Smith, Horses 10 Pulp, Different Class B&S might have squeezed in if.... 11 Belle and Sebastian, first four EPs back to back on a CD-R ...was an album. In other news, I see you don't have to be subscribed to Sinister to make the Footie team. Shameful. g PS Buy lots of American Music Club records.

Sinister: top ten albums of all time - discuss
by Dean Gillon 25 Apr '02

25 Apr '02

Hi everyone, hope you are all wonderful on this sunny day - everyone have the day off to go to the nearest beer garden. If everyone says anything tell them dean said it was ok. I know its a bit high fidelity (except he normally does top fives) but i thought I'd give it a try as I've got a load of work to do. procrastination is one of my strengths and the only way I'd ever clean the cooker. Keep in mind that I've just done this off the top of my head, without the benefit of rummaging through my tunes, and is therefore open to adjustment. I'd be interested to know other peoples too. It's quite scary how old some of these are. I must be getting on a bit, but they are all classics. See what you think anyway. 1. Jeff Buckley Grace 2. Stone Roses Stone Roses 3. Verve A Northern Soul 4. Smiths The Queen is Dead 5. Pixies Bossanova 6. Nick Drake Pink Moon 7. Nirvana Nevermind 8. Belle and Sebastian If Youre Feeling Sinister 9. Happy Mondays Pills and Thrills and Bellyaches 10. Spiritualized Ladies and Gentlemen we are Floating in Space. Take care people.

Hello sinister it is apparent that i'm becoming kind of a gig-addicted. hence here we go with a kind of an advice (can it be considered as list abuse, hopefully it isn't) tonight: LOW, shepherd's bush empire. I forgot to mention them in my previous post but I think they're set was quite good and I've enjoyed it far more than the (last two) records. I bet Mark is going to come with me tonight :)... there's apparently a bit of confusion around this point, but I heard that CAT POWER is going to come of the 5th may... this is a kind of a disappointment as It will drop the same day as the wonder of the seasidesinister picnic...mmhmhmh.. puzzling... anyway for everyone who is interested and haven't had the experience of seeing her on the stage before is gonna be quite interesting (if in the mood for that). I think it is almost all. oh. cheap trick are also around, but I guess the famous 5 neck and body-shaped guitars are the most of it, isn't? take care and see you soon stefano +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Looper Info (II)
by David Moore 25 Apr '02

25 Apr '02

Hi All, Thanks for Paul for reminding me I meant to post about Looper. There is a one off gig supporting Cornelius, & later a tour: Monday 6th May - Royal Festival Hall, London 7.30pm £12.50 / £15 / £17.50 CORNELIUS (live) + THE GENTLE PEOPLE (live) + LOOPER (live) The siren suite (dj). See http://www.sbc.org.uk/music/sub_music/performance/18819.html?version=1 (or something similar) Tuesday 11th June - Hop and Grape, Manchester Wednesday 12th June - Rocket, Leeds Thursday 13th June - Cottiers Theatre, Glasgow Sunday 16th June - Pavillion, Brighton Monday 17th June - Cargo, London Tuesday 18th June - Cargo, London see http://www.mute.com/looper/index.html On http://www.looper.info/ the new show is described as "A Murder Mystery DJ Set." ATP was good fun. Thanks to good friends old & new for making it so, & well done to the Sinister football team for winning the tournament again (and to their supporters for egging them on). Mark, I agree that there was a lot of po-faced bands taking themselves far too seriously. And that's why Cheap Trick were so refreshing as despite admittedly limited material they worked their bollocks off (& drenched themselves in sweat) to entertain and involve the audience & succeeded excellently in their objective.

Sinister: where do all the dreamers go?
by Bron 25 Apr '02

25 Apr '02

dear sinister i'm afraid i'm in distress tonight. for months now i've been having idealistic dreams for the future, nothing definite, just crazy fantasies of endless mountains and far-reaching blazing skies of clouds and a moon that will traverse across it on an endless journey to the break of dawn. i'm a dreamer. i'm an artist without her art. the foundation for my life was laid thousands of sunsets ago, golden hopes of inspiration and profound influences of well-behaved support were instilled in my being. where did it all go? why is music so easy to fall in love with and why is it when the man of my DREAMS comes along and has to turn my restless ocean of tortured emotions into a calm sea of pretty pictures? where is the movement of the thirsty soul? what is left but the darkening gray sky of the future evening? sure the thunderstorm left us in awe, but what happened to the bright-flash-wow of the lightning? did we all put on our shades and look to the left while all the right reasons catapulted forward? i'm starting to talk abstractly. perhaps i have been this whole time. but it's something. maybe you think it's nothing. i really couldn't care less what you think it is, and that is why i keep bouncing these shaking fingertips across these plastic buttons of logic and order called a keyboard. it's symbolic of how i feel at this moment though. fuzzy. unclear. forsaken. if i were to talk to a real person right now, no doubt i'd cry. silly isn't it? if someone were to see me crack right now it's almost as if there would be no glue to fix it. so i'll just write to all you sinisterines...whether you give a good damn or not. there is comfort in getting something off your chest and not seeing the other's facial expression, not having to deal with their immediate sentiments if they do not jive with your own at the time. i'm listening to "air" right now. which could be a bad thing... luck and unhappy. that's the song that just came on. how fitting. i should listen to something else right now...like abba or some other shallow pop band that only sounds best when not pronouncing an actual word. hmm. i'll shut up now. and i'll apologize if you're an abba fan. i am fan too really. well sort of. right. ---your mountain mama sweetheart X "The differences between what you hope for and what you end up receiving are part of what makes the outside, the hoped for, worthwhile...and beautiful." ---the Lovely Lou http://www.care2.com - Get your Free e-mail account that helps save Wildlife! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

liz daplyn (siren of, er, wales) took the words right out of my mouth. if anyone can stomach TWO sinister picnics in as many weeks, i will happily oblige by receiving you in brighton on *sunday 5th may*. this will probably be quite a mini-shindig as i may be otherwise engaged later that night (though i may not). anyway, you are MOST WELCOME! so, i will wait to hear what interest there is before proceeding. (please note that i won't be able to go to the primrose hill picnic this saturday, so 5th may will be your ONLY chance to see me for who knows how many more months. and i wouldn't want y'all getting withdrawal symptoms, now...) bapps? you have to come as i want my property returned! luv archel xxx ps. if anyone is expecting SYMPATHY that they're going to be in the USA that weekened, think again. you know who you are. ****************** Visit www.buzzwords.ndo.co.uk for the best new writing on the web.

Sinister: we were rich once, until our heads exploded
by Mark Casarotto 24 Apr '02

24 Apr '02

Word for today = "casualisation". As I sat on the bus one the way back from Waitrose this morning, I saw a woman holding a leaflet. It announced that today is the "Simon Jones Memorial Day of Awareness about Casualisation", I think it was. I couldn't for the life of me think what it could be about. The picture of Mr Jones was of a young man with a crew-cut wearing a Ben Sherman type shirt. So people are finally rising up against the Reebok-classic-wearing, pissy-lager-drinking, pub-brawling culture that blights our provincial towns? Er, no. It's all to do with casual labour, and the lack of writes and protection the employee has. More about Mr Jones and the ugly side of casualisation can be found at http://www.simonjones.org.uk/latest.htm. I used to know a Simon Jones - but he was a twat. And he's still alive, so it couldn't have been him. Which made me wonder. What do people with really common names do when their mates are Googling themselves? My combo of dull-as-fuck first name and moderately exotic surname makes me fairly easy to track down. There were no Marks among the 31 Casarottos listed in the records of Ellis Island - though some of those 19th Century eye-ties have ker-azy names! http://www.ellisislandrecords.org/search/passSearch.asp? is quite interesting, especially if you're a septic. So. What else is new? I went to ATP. It wasn't great. The line-up was so po-faced and post-hardcore (Steve Albini cloned into a million sour-jawed men with unnecessary facial hair) that I couldn't be arsed to see the great majority of the bands. I know this is anathema to people like Stefano, but it's life. I think most sinisterines had a similar approach :-) However, their was one huge beacon of hope (and I'm not talking about Kelley Deal's arse). The Breeders were SUPERB, and totally made it for me, on a musical level at least. Though if anyone tries to tell you Cheap Trick were anything other than your dad making a 70s rock cunt of himself, they're lying, you know. And we won the football! Again! For bunch of bed-wetters, we can kick a ball passably (and I'd like to see someone call Dr Sean a bed-wetter to his face). Ally 96, big gay Richard, Mr Purple Troosers the skipper, lovely Joss, Dr Sean, Hairy Pat, Jonnie no. 5 and, of course, "Drunken" Matt Powell, manager extraordinaire, who pulled it together when it came down to the wire. Brian. Played 4, won 4; goals for, 19; goals against, 3. I think it's safe to say we're all over the spoon. This is a bit of a prosaic post, really, so I think I'll send it and maybe come back for more later. Mark xxx p.s. I got to SLEEP with David Moore! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
