Sinister: Gomez and Morris dancers: one of these things is good
by ELIZABETH DAPLYN 01 Jun '98

01 Jun '98

Bloody hell, why can't I type "sinister" without adding an extra "s" and making it "sinsister"? It's a recurrent problem, and one that probably means I have *issues* with my family or something... Anyway, what an odd weekend I had. Inbetween stressing about my Foundation Course exhibition and trying to get the supporting work for my final piece up to scratch, I sampled the *delights* of the Rochester-Upon-Medway Dickens Festival. For those who are not habitees of the Medway area of Kent (and I suspect there may be a few of these on the list), Rochester is where the fool Charles Dickens wrote and set a lot of his books. So _obviously_ EVERYTHING which happens here has to be Dickenscentric. Morris Dancers there were thankfully few when I went down to the high street, but people dressed up as Queen Victoria and Miss Havisham there were many. The coolest bit was going on the Merry-Go-Round in the castle gardens. Even though my friends made me ride on a giant chicken instead of a wee horsie like they did, the scum. And the calliope organ thing played "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat", which was ill-advised in _my_ humble opinion... Ah, and the delights of a Thai Spring Roll from the acest restaurant in town's outside stall, scoffing hot beansprouts on a lovely sunny day... Eccelente, Ambassador! Has anyone else got the Gomez album? Well, strictly speaking, _I_ haven't got it, my mum has, but I can nick it when I want to listen to it. Anyway, it's great unclassifiable pop-rock-blues-jazz stuff. Au revoir, Liz. **************************************** The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep.

Sinister: Re: a belated report

However, in my defence I would say: a) My hands were shakier than usual on account of being thrown into the meeting-people-off-the-list-in-real-life thing all of a sudden. I was expecting Megan to be a 76 year old hermaphrodite from Yemen and was taken aback to find that was Tag and that Megan was instead a 19 year old female from New York. b) I was too intent on getting myself out of a Francoise Hardy faux pas I had made with Tag. c) I was confused by the Americanisms that I had accepted without question as a child. I still want to know what a Bread Basket is. Megan came up with some half-baked explanation that completely failed to account for it being it appearing in the groin area. d) I was distracted by Isobel being over the other side of the room. Everyone else was playing it cool, but I am a star-struck teenager at heart. e) I later discovered that we had been completely not playing properly, totally ignoring the careful demarcation of Doctor and Specialist operations. So it doesn't count. So ner. Nick _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Hey, my first posting & it's nothing to do with B & S. Oh well... Anybody heard anything by Six by Seven? I like what I've read about them, but have yet to hear any of their music.

Sinister: notes from the record store
by McGuire 31 May '98

31 May '98

hello everyone. i just got home from work and figured i'd jot of a note to the list before lying down unconsious for twelve hours. ok, now to the reason i'm writing. i sold TWO whole copies of sinister tonight! hurray for me. the first was to this guy who actually came up to me and asked for it. i was so shocked cos he was this mucled out hollywood boy who i figured wanted to know where to find some electronica cd or something like that. so anyway, i found him a copy and sailed back to the register floating on air. well, metaphorically speaking. the next copy i actually got to recommend. i felt all sly and shit. it was to this twenty something girl who asked if i had any suggestions. i was all pumped. the only problem is i had a shit time describing it to her. i tried to use the whole nick drake-esque vocals thing on her but she didnt know him. so i just made up a bunch of shit. either way, she bought it and i felt all useful for a few hours. ok. this was boring. but hell, so am i. it flows. -kelly ryan mcguire "sometimes you got to make it alone" ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Re: st etienne (NBSC)

Teri wrote: <<tiny question: who is st.etienne (sp?), and what do they sound like?>> One of my favorite pop bands ever, that's who!!! They are an English dance-pop trio who specialize in kitsch, I guess you could say. Their music is sort of ironic pop, some of it remniscient of the girl groups of the 60s, some of it more euro-cheese disco. Have you heard of Dubstar? Peach (Union)? Mono? Even the Cardigans? To some extent they all took ideas from St Et, with lesser results (save the Cards), IMHO. If you like Pizzicato Five, that's another fair comparison. The vocalist of Saint Etienne is the adorable feather-boa'd Sarah Cracknell, a true DOLL with the voice of an angel. Saint Et's most recent offerings don't quite live up to their earlier stuff, but the album "So Tough" or their compilation "Too Young To Die" is a good starting point. If you want I could even throw together mix tape for you... Anyway i'm sure there are tons of people who just hate the Et, but that's my two cents. viva las vegas!! tarabelle PS YAY Jochen!!!

Sinister: a belated report
by megan 30 May '98

30 May '98

alright, i admit that i fell down on my duty reporting to the list after the uk, but give me some slack. i'm still out in moscow and unsure of where i'll be living next year, so i'm not entirely settled yet. anyway, i'm really not sure how to report on a week, and spill all the dirty little secrets i discovered about the uk sinisterines, so i'm afraid i'll have to fall back on the method of using *ink polaroids*. i wonder if stuey d regrets having thought of the concept? i know a few list people at least wish that he hadn't. ;) first off is a picture from edinburgh. this was taken at a pub, which is incredibly shocking as i'm sure none of you on the list had pegged the scottish contingent of this list as drinkers. i'm afraid that i feel compelled to disillusion you lot and point out that they *are*. so anyway, this one is taken at the last pub of the evening and by this point we've all gotten quite comfortable with one another. honeypaul, linda (who ought to post to the list *hint* ;), and i are all seated in front of empty glasses. keith, however, is nursing his drink like a "poof". i, however, am too innocent to understand what that word means. the woman has rung the bell, which is the polite british manner of kicking out the drunks, or so i'm told. but we're too involved discussing the merits of m2 over vh1, or at least i am. as apparently the others have never seen m2. for the record, it's *much* better, there's really no comparison. this next one was taken again in edinburgh the next day. paul and i are in the car, and i'm on the left, doubled up laughing. paul is laughing too, and a bit sheepish and embarassed over the fact that he just flipped off the driver in the car ahead of us. it was an accident, he was just doing it to show me, but the driver in the car ahead saw and flipped us off in return, so i'm having a good laugh. for the record, paul was much embarassed. this one is taken that evening, at the poetry cafe during the blue soda social. i am currently whupping nick dastoor's ass at operation. however, i'm standing up and leaning over to talk to andy dean, who didn't say a *word* to me until tag told me who he was. so anyway, as i'm sure you're all quite confused about this picture, i'll recap. nick and tag seated at the table, talking. me standing behind tag, talking to andy, the last person, over this little magazine rack. maybe i should draw a diagram. ok, this one was taken later that evening, at the social. susannah, isobel, and james are in conversation on one side of the table, and i've heard enough to be quite interested in what was said. susannah looks inquisitively at isobel, isobel looks a little shocked and embarassed by the question, and james just looks damp (though i don't know why). i'm looking at tag, whose trying to pretend like he doesn't hear, though he's mouthing what was said at me behind his hand. i'm trying not to laugh, and very impressed with sus. this last picture was taken the next evening, right after the saint etienne concert. i'm standing with stephen trousers, and we're waiting for tag in the foreground. in the back, you can see tag with dazed grin on his face while some girl gives him a hug. i dunno who she is, but trous is laughing. someone named emmy-kate. whatever. so that's something of a synopsis of my week. someday, perhaps soon, i'll get regular email access. till then i'll be checking the archives, so no badmouthing me behind my back!!! xox megan ps - i can still take personal mail at this address. i know you were all dying to know that. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: International Courtesan of the Year
by Mark Casarotto 30 May '98

30 May '98

Keith, you were right, what a fantastic joke! Now I'll look silly when I tell all my friends and they already know it because it's been on national radio. My friend Dearbhla told me a joke about the RUC yesterday which was moderatle funny, but it's v. longwinded and potentially offensive to Irish protestants, so I'll leave it for now. I think I made it for two days without posting anything, which isn't bad - but I imagine this is how a first cigarette feels after weeks of gnawing your feet off and finally giving in... Just listened to String Bean Jean again after remembering (does anyone else have a huge fuckoff problem typing the word "remember", or is it just me?) how great it was at the picnic. Just when you think they can't get any more evocative...this new album has an unprecedented amount of sheer wonderfulness to be compared to... It's a beautiful evening, and I'm copping out of popstarz as I have v little money (sorry Rory), but I think I shall go for a stroll in a second and try and let a bit of nature penetrate this grimy, narrow-minded city boy. I like the spring. See you all in 7 days? Social is on next week, I am presuming?
