Home taping is indeed killing music, well so sais my copy of THe
Psychedelic Furs' eponymously titled album tells me, there is even this
wee skull and cross-bones logo, only the skull is a cassette tape, cool!
Oh and all this tigermilk stuff is really boring, I don't care that I
can't get a copy, there is enough other music in the world to sustain my
life, I would love to hear it, but untill it is rereleased I won't.
Hope everyone out there is happy, I'm a little stressed, but I had fun on
my float on saturday in aberdeen's world famous torcher parade. If you
were there I was on the tropical paradise island float, featuring a tree,
a bar, hula "girls", the lilt woman, and me as the anoying dj/barman guy,
lots of lovely bob marley tunes, some weird african stuff, all your disney
favourites from jungle book and the little mermaid, and a little out of
place the stereophonics.
Enough of my rambling drivel...

What can I add to John's deft summary of yesterday's hilltop shenanigans? In
years to come it will be looked back upon like Woodstock or the first
Pistols' gigs, with half the country claiming to have been among the lucky
52. Memorable moments include:
~ 3 ten year olds making the rest of us look a bit daft at football
~ the triumphant march of The Pastels 7-aside team through the piecemeal
defence of both the Black and White teams
~ Katrina and Susannah providing an impromptu gymnastics exhibition
~ the touching concern of many for the whereabouts of the Monday Poem
~ Katrina becoming the official List Mum for her way with a black bin liner
in the rubbish-strewn aftermath
~ The landlord of the Spread Eagle threatening to call the cops if we didn't
take our cans elsewhere
~ suddenly symphathising with Stuey Murdoch, as the massed ranks of
sinisterines failed to remember anything but the first line of any of the
songs that Rob B bashed out on his axe
~ 'Steady' Mike returning from a fag run to the offie with a
mysteriously-acquired Arvo Part cd
~ 'Unsteady' Elisabeth Z providing a sterling rendition of every
Scandinavian Eurovision entry since 1976 (complete with choreography)
What a lovely bunch we are. Rumours suggest that the next London bash is
already planned for the 25th of this month... I guess we all ought to thank
the dear, departed Blue Soda Socialists, David and Katrina for their
matchless organisational skills...

Hey, worry no longer! For I am here to put in my tres pesetas' worth about
the marvellous events of yesterday. And I bake exceedingly good cakes, and
so may be trusted to outline a tasty and nourishing account of the day.
In the morning, after skilfully avoiding some evil Morris Dancers in
Rochester on the way to catch a train and meeting Charlotte (hapless friend,
she will be on the list very soon, oh yes she will) at Charing Cross, she
and I went to the Royal Academy of Arts to have a gander at some aulde
Russian icons. Very nice, although some of the saints were inexplicably
holding TV arials. So much for culture, eh?

> There was loads of food
There certainly was! Twiglets and crisps there were many. Marmite sarnies
there were some of. Rory's birthday cake there was not much of by the time
everyone present had had a bit.
and bonhommie.
I recovered my amazing Connect-4 powers from kiddie-land (spatial awareness,
don't you know, old bean) and played Snap (or OLE! as we failed to
rechristen it) with weird Spanish playing cards, but sadly failed to enjoy
Buckaroo. Would the bleedin' toy donkey buck? Even with all the wee
plastic guitars/lariats/sombreros loading its fragile donkey back down?
Would it buggery. I shall be informing the manufacturers through my lawyer.
And, of course, there was that top singalong of Mayfly, with added-value
live vocal Stylophone break from everyone.
Anyway, it got a wee bit windy, so we decamped to the Spread Eagle dahn in
Camden Tahn, where we proceeded to spread ourselves across the pavement
outside like a living carpet of beautiful Belle&Sebastian-loving flowers.
And variously drink, natter, drink, play charades (oh God! Not "The
Unbearable Lightness of Being" _again_...), drink, eat chips, drink and
stand around telling jokes about prawns (shame on you, Tall Git!) for the
next few hours. And there was an old bloke trying to sell his bike (which
Susannah fell off) to us for 5 quid at one point in the evening.
Charlotte and I had to go at a ridiculously early time (she to write an
essay about Grecian urns or something, I to get home to dear old Rochester,
from whence the Morris Dancers had thankfully departed by the time I got
back), so I can't say what happened after 8:30 in the evening. Maybe the
rest of our beloved party held a Black Mass outside the pub, sold their
souls to Satan and are even now screaming in the depths of the deepest
circle of Hell for mercy which never comes...
I, intending to virtuously do some (say it quietly) *work* when I got home,
got a train back to Rochester and started to walk home. However, on passing
my Dad's house and seeing the lights on, I popped in and sat there drinking
whisky and talking about fishing with him for a few more hours. So no work
was done. Ah well, never mind...
Bless all you beautiful people who turned up, and those who were only there
in spirit (methylated), and especially David and Katrina for organising and
stuff.
ByeBye,
Liz.

Arghhhh!!! look what you've done now - you selfish gits. You and yer
bloody Tigermilk!!! :-(
Now we're going to have to get down on our collective knees and
beg David & Katrina to come back!!!!!... I mean, we've gone through
so much together - joint feelings of despair as their computer gradually
went on the blink last year, the anger at the bastard who nicked all
the fan club gear at the Manchester shows (Mugs 'n' all). The elation
as Katrina posted pre-release info nuggets and David wuth new
merchandise...
D & K COME BACK, COME BACK, COME BACK!!!!
Sarah in a her top post remarked:
>Duke - "home taping is kiling music" on record sleeves? seriously? you
>ARE pulling my plonker! haha, thats magnificent! if its an invention
(feverishly searches record collection) Oh Damn, the last time I saw
that on a record was my copy of "Action Trax Vol.1" when I was about
12 years old - Ahh, that oh-so-clever logo of a tape cassette overlaid
with skull and crossbones: so very 80s.
Genevieve remarked:
>did strangelove really break up?
- Gawd, I hope so. Rest in pieces.
Rodddd and T in the Park:
>Me! Got my ticket on Saturday (oooh, it's sparkly), so I'll be wandering
>around all weekend in my "Helen Love" t-shirt again :)
Haha, you'll then be easier to spot so we can 'rip the pish ootay' yer
antics over the weekend ;-).
(incidentally Keith W.- Money Mark appears to be booked for the T)
TTFN,
The Lairdster.

Message text written by Rod Begbie
>So anyway, back to that Euro(Trash|Vision) thing last night. Anyone else
watch this? The Kenickies performed an astonishing version of "Save All
Your Kisses For Me",<
yes! their cover versions are always classy, 'specially 'It Started With A
Kiss' on that EMI 'come again' album. not that i will be buying either of
these releases cus the rest of the tracks are probably wank on a stick. why
can't they release them as b-sides? bah.
but at least their own songs are as good as their covers, unlike ash ('does
your mother know', 'get ready', 'punk boy' etc.) whos own stuff is a bit
pants in comparison.
how come pulp never competed in eurovision? they would have been the ideal
candidate a few years ago... possibly.
i was trying to imagine B&S doing it, but it doesn't seem right... they'd
have to start wearing spangly outfits for a start. hehehe. although, on
that Radio Scotland christmas show they did, Sarah did say she'd love to
see stuart m. prancing around the stage in a spangly leotard. hmmmm, seems
as likely as Tigermilk being released in the forseable future... (sorry!)
love,
Debbie xxx.

forgive me if I'm wrong, but can we just leave the to copy or not to thang
behind?
Everyone who wants can get hold of it through this list and the kind-
peeps who have it, and who knows it might be rereleased so you can
drool over the hard copy.
I agree with whoever it was- ok great music great band and I love it all-
but it is only a record.
Not worth hard or hurt feelings.
hope you all agree....

Dear Rocketeers,
How are you today? I am very well thank you and just had the
loveliest of weekends. And I now know what Keith does on Portobello
beach because on Sunday I participated. Now the sunny weather
has departed and I feel somewhat empty inside, like my best days are
behind me and now I only have work and failures to look forward to.
I'm fibbing of course but I fooled you, didn't I.
regards,
melancholy chris

Dearest friends,
Delighted to see some chat about "Stars in their Eyes". As you all
know, earlier this year I made it my mission to appear on this grand
program as Johnny Mathis, the man who provides the mental soundtrack
to the rare romantic moments in my life.
But Mathew Kelly has made it quite clear he will have no children,
no drag and no blacking up on his show. So I'm scunnered on all three
criteria. Plus I totally bottled it at the first step, so I wouldn't
have
got on anyway. Now cast your mind back to the Glasgow Picnic. We were
discussing stars in their eyes and what white adult male I could go
on as. I suggested to Stuart Murdoch I could go on as him, and do
you know what he said? "That'll be fucking right" (or similar words
to that effect) and looked utterly disgusted. Still gives me a chuckle.
happily yours,
christopher leonard

Dear Sinister Mailing List,
REF:The London picnic
Will someone else write something about it please,
cos just now it looks like John imagined the whole thing, doesn't it?
I said "john" then "imagined". Spooky.
yours concerned,
mr leonard
=================
Dear Sezah,
I tried to email you but got it sent back. Can you
mail me and i'll try again or something. Cannae get the codrazine
thing here at all though i tried and tried I swear I did.
Je Taime,
Les Christophe
=================
Dear String Band Fanatics,
Oh happy day now, cos theres a documentery on BBC2 tonight
about the incredible string band, in case you didn't know and you
wanted too.
Always yours,
Coco

If you mailing champions are proud of your selves, what about us
non-mailers, I've been of this list for.... 6 months and I have only
sent about 4 letters, I should be the campion of longest running
lurker.... But now I wanna correct my ways and make me one of the
unforgettables, so I'm starting on my intriduction. cos i just figured
that you dont know who the hell I am and I consider all of you as my
friends (oh that sarah she's such a kidder... yes give'em hell RRoooodd
and such). I would though like to think that I practise the underground
of Sinister, having made some friends out of that, and hopefully free
accomodations when I go to England.. I even met a friend of a Listee
and gave him a tour around Reykjavik, cos that 's the best I could do.
**********************************************************************
******************************
Olla's autobiography - Part one, from age 0-12..(from cradle to puberty)
I was born that magical year of 1977 in Reykjavik, the year that Elvis
died and only two years until Abba broke up.. Only 12 years until beer
would be alowed , and nobody knew about about Iceland.. I soon learned
that if I wanted to survive I had to hide my fondness for Wham and say
I liked Duran Duran.. Iceland was becoming an almost civilised nation
and CD's hadn't been invented.. At age three I went to Kindergarden,
and stayed there until I was six years old and then I went to school, I
stayed in that same school until I was 16 and then I went to another
school and stayed there for 4 years and now i'm here.. where ever I
am... and in that time slot, I evolved my dislike for sports, learned
how to play the flute, read alot, and got to know Belle and
Sebastian... and that's all folks,,,
**********************************************************************
*****************************
You can expect my next letter in say.... july, but then I will be in
copenhagen drinking Carlsberg and staying inside hiding from the sun..
(no I dont have read hair, not that that's a bad thing). So if anyone
of you live in Copenhagen, or are going to Roskilde it would be nice to
get an e-mail ... Olaf7(a)tr.is,,,or Kakkalakki(a)hotmail.com...
ps: I'm thinking of doing my own sinister picnic, only it will be my
birthday and none of the guests will be on sinister, but there will be
a Belle and Sebastian(i will be 21 next tuesday congratulations will be
in order)
