I was on the show that the hapless boy Lard decided to try out his Mike Hunt gag on the handover to Funky Si. Silly Boy. We all sat round eating cake and drinking tea at about 7:30 in the morning....very civilised...:-))) Unfortunately I was unable to take part in the end game due to drinking excessive amounts of fizzy brown water in the Britannia Hotel till the early hours of the morning and feeling rather sick with a bad case of the DT's. Not a good preparation for the marathon that is the Busy Buzzy Bee Finale. But what a nice jar of honey I got....with Pecan nuts in. How I miss the graveyard shift and Simon Armitage and Glyn Maxwells wonderful ramblings.

Sinister: Gigolo Aunts
by Paige Rosella 18 Mar '98

18 Mar '98

I saw the Gigolo Aunts quite recently opening for another band. I had never heard them before, but, being from the Greater Boston Area, had heard much OF them. I was so sourly disappointed. The first song was OK, kind of jangly and retro a la Push Kings, but then they just started to (pardon my French) blow. One song was completely indistinguishable from the next and they were the most banal, nondescript songs I have ever heard - and I have sat through a lot of dull and/or bad opening bands (don't even get me started on Kenickie....). They were only hindered by the weak, thin voice of their lead singer. Yuck. Wondering if it's wrong that I like the new Madonna, Paige ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: scrawn, shirley and your holiday reading list...
by Alan Prior 18 Mar '98

18 Mar '98

Just feel I should get my mark radcliffe views in too... He is my hero. Sad but true. I love him so- even though my music obsession is all his fault; B&S, PJ Harvey, Secret Goldfish, Kenickie, Urusei etc were all his fault... Not as good during the day, though. But he's still well sexy. I was just looking through my 'New Improved Formula' NME...oh, I'm so glad it's costing me an extra 10p a week to get the adverts in full colour now. Bloody great that is. Having said this, it does feature the oh-so-sexual Shirley Manson on the cover. Mmmmmmmm- reason in itself to buy any mag, even if it does now look like a Sunday newspaper colour supplement or sommat...oh well. Additions to the book list; --'The Bowels Of Christ' Graham (Secret Goldfish) Lironi --'The Rachel Papers'- Martin Amis --'Our Lady Of The Flowers'- Jean Genet --'Tropic of Capricorn'- Henry Miller Whatever you do, DON'T READ 'American Psycho' by Brett Easton Ellis- it's the most HORRIBLE book I've ever read. Bleugh. Obviously this is now gonna have the reverse effect, but it really is icky... I feel that after my Menswear admission everyone should now declare the most embarrassing record in their collection before we go any further. Any NKOTB/Rus Abbot/Five Star/Cast out there? If nothing else, it wouold make me feel better... love, Debbie xxx. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Wire yes, in fact Daydreamer is almost exactly the same as "Practice makes perfect", except of course that has nowhere near the style that Wire have. Chairs Missing is an excellent album, as are all of Wire's early records and are dead cheap too, well worth getting. Didn't the Stone Roses admit to being fans of the Dukes of Stratosphear records? I seem to remember this. The Duke would be proud. Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

And, they never spoke over records - compare the B&S sessions on their show and the Evening Session sessions - Steve Lamacq, without fail, will talk over the introduction and last 30 seconds of every song he plays... now that annoys me rob ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Wouldn't you just know that now, as I'm trying to check this out, the BBC's webshite is pinging a 50% packet loss. (For non-geeks, this means my connection to it is shafted) Doesn't Dave Green have something to do with the Digital Update? Presumably he passed on my site after featuring it in the latest issue of Need To Know (http://www.ntk.net -- if you're a geek, and British, this is the e-zine for you!)

I only ever hear his show at the end of term (when I'm up to 5am working on coursework, like I am at the moment), but he does tread the thin line between being an irritating unfunny DJ like Steve Wright, and completely anarchic comedy genius. > anyway yeah sorry rambling. mark radcliffe's show introduced me to about 80% > of my record collection. new stuff, obscure stuff, old stuff - i mean i hated > a lot of the stuff he played and he hated a lot of teh stuff i played To me, the old Graveyard Shift was a more accessible version of John Peel. You got to *hear* the bands that the NME/Melody Maker were going on about, usually before the papers had started going on about them! But the addition was the him'n'Lard were so laugh out loud funny, especially when they were causing Mark Kermode to get completely exasperated. The "Competition Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime" jingle was a classic of our time. Their show didn't really work as well in the morning, though, cause they didn't have someone to bounce off quite so often.

Sinister: skeletons, not menswear in the cupboard, radical politics
by tuffen＠opgc.univ-bpclermont.fr 18 Mar '98

18 Mar '98

what happened to the band 'the walkingseeds?' they used to sound brilliant about nine years ago, then again at the time i was obsessed with The Cult, trying to be a goth in a small town which meant i became a fast runner and a good tree climber to escape the boy racers and 'casuals' who'd chase us through the park on friday night Wow so there's such strong anti-car pro-public transport policies in the Trudget my arse. What a watered down load of tosh. And everyone knows that electric cars (better than the kitsch C5!) work dead well, going slowly in them would encourage love of nature and respect of the environment cos you could hear the sheep mooing and the grasshoppers yawning as you glided past, your shiny little beetle-like contraption sounding like an electric turkey in the morning air. but the oil companies and car manufacturers have this stranglehold, everything's so short-term and profit orientated EVERYTHING'S SO SHORT TERM AND PROFIT ORIENTATED a note of explanation:- i have heard an electric turkey so there. It could walk across the room. Prolapse are brilliant. Isaw them in exeter, the singers staring into a pint and at the floor all night, with the rest of the band with their backs to us making a fucking racket. And the great lost band 'tarrot marrow', scotland's finest of the early nineties. once they got to support swervedriver at king tut's so they were pretty massive. NOW-OBLIGATORY BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS 'the trial' by franz kafka (specially if you're into politics and THE SYSTEM) 'one hundred years of solitude' by garcia-marquezbut you've probably already read it 'bad wisdom' by bill drummond and mark manning (so funny, perverted as fuck) 'immortality' by milan kundera 'heaven and hell'/'the doors of perception' by aldous huxley (brought on vivid flashbacks) 'under the volcano' by malcom lowry (alcoholic nightmares in mexico) 'the story of the eye' by georges bataille (now, how twisted can a mind get?) 'the man without qualities' by robert musil (takes a year to read, worth it) any washing machine/hairdryer manual hugh ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
