Sinister: Alex Chilton/V-Twin
by Julia Mary Brown 13 Mar '98

13 Mar '98

<I know I speak with all the zeal of a recent convert, but there is <no denying the power of these guys' music. Do any of you know what <has become of Alex Chilton? The sleevenotes tell how Chris Bell died <in a car crash but other than saying that Chilton was demoralised <and out of music by the 80s nothing more was said. I can come up with an etremely tenuous B&S link with Alex Chilton. Here goes: V-Twin, the band that Chris Geddes sometimes plays (played?) with, supported Alex Chilton when he last came to Glasgow (though I couldn't go cause I was working- in a shop accross the road from the venue, just to rub it in). I heard it that they got to do it because Jason, the singer sent a tape of some of their songs to Alex Chilton and he liked it a lot. In fact they got on so well that Jason and the guitarist (don't know his name) are supposedly going to New Orleans to live in Alex Chilton's spare house. You still see them about Glasgow though, so they're not on their way yet. And talking, well kind of, about B&S members extra-curricular acivity, Mick Cook played with The Karelia when I saw them play a couple of weeks ago. He played trumpet on one song, and guitar on the rest, but i got the idea he only played guitar so much because the singer couldn't- becuase he had cut his finger. Does anyone know anthing more about this?, that is Mick playing with The Karelia, not the singer's cut finger. And Keith, count me in for an Edinburgh picnic. I think many of my friends can be persuaded to attend. When I told them about the London picnic they said they wanted to go. Yet they wouldn't go to the Manchester gigs with me. I don't know. That's all, I think. Love Juliaxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Crush me
by Keith Watson 13 Mar '98

13 Mar '98

Just saw this thing on the news at lunchtime thought people might find quite funny. The British Government's just come up with a cracking new scheme to get people to pay their road tax (for the benefit of countries that don't do road tax, it's to pay for new roads etc.). They've started this pilot scheme in London whereby if you persist in not paying road tax, they just take your car away and crush it! So there's this guy on the 1o'clock news standing in front of a file of 400 crushed cars which was well funny. I'm all for a few more comedy laws like that to be passed. Perhaps if you don't pay your council tax they could knock your house down - just as well the poll tax doesn't exist any more otherwise they'd have to employ snipers to take out citizens. Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: I'm new, please don't be cruel..
by afoley＠csc.com 13 Mar '98

13 Mar '98

Greetings All, I'm new around here, just one day so far, and I'm still not quite sure how this goes, but you seem like a pretty decent bunch so I'll break the ice with a little joke first: Q. Why is the Wonderbra the sheepdog of lingerie? A. Because it rounds them up and points them in the right direction! wehey boom boom!! Now onto a spooky dream bit: I had a very vivid dream the other night that it was the end of the world, well there was this "thing" in the sky flying around, and there were planes surrounding it trying to shoot it down. I thought it was a spaceship at first (and no i hadn't been watching Independance Day), but I could see this scene out of the window and also on TV at the same time, where they were showing 24 hour news, due to th eimpending doom. There was talk about floods, earthquakes and stuff like that. Just as I thought I'd reached the end of the road and was gonna be wiped out, I woke up - pheww! It was well spooky. Anyway, on the news yesterday, there was all this talk of an asteroid coming to hit us and end the world in the year 2028 - Bloody Hell, was this a sign or what? Well, I don't want to bore you with any more guff than necessary, but I'll fire in with the odd mail every now and then, as I get to learn what's going on. Cheers, Rick Ramrod (Haven't I got to use a name like that or something?)or is Dick Dasterdly better? PS - I'll be seeing Animal House (no, not Farm!) tomorrow night, and I'm looking forward to it very much. Maybe I'll let you know all about it next week. You will no doubt here more about this very fine band in time anyway...... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Even as we Speak

Or, the case of the disappearing Australian band. Did they release anything else? Not many people have had the courage to cover New Order and I wonder if any of you know of any other covers besides this Bizarre Love Triangle version , the Oyster Band's rendition of Love Vigilantes Galaxie 500's take on Ceremony and James Last doing Blue Monday. The last one I haven't heard. It must be a scream! Mark. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: 159 hours
by Amanda Bergman 13 Mar '98

13 Mar '98

until I leave for the UK! yay! and I always thought I was bad at math... but speaking of numbers, today is my dad's birthday! Big Art is turning a ripe old 47! (that's about 410,592 hours, according to my calculations) So it's Friday the thirteenth *and* a full moon, apparently. Maybe all of these circumstances had a bearing on yesterday's chat? Some kind of cosmic thing? Anyway, my dad seems to be under the impression that the best way to avoid bad luck on Friday the 13th when there's a full moon is to burn socks on a mountaintop. So I think tomorrow I shall round up all the olive green argyles I can find and head to...wait, there are no mountains here in the flat American midwest. Perhaps someone can ascend a Scottish summit for me and do the honors vicariously...? (oh, in other Big Art Bergman news, my dad has officially been inititated into the wide world of chat, so if you run into him there, please be friendly!) More specifically B&S related content: one highlight of the chat for me (aside from Stuart David's incessant sarcasm and abrupt departure, of course) was the acknowledgement that "Lonliness of the Middle Distance Runner" will appear on one of the upcoming releases. That song is so incredibly beautiful. Is anyone else as smitten with it as I am? the HoneyTiger wrote: >I will sOon pack up my bags and sail east, a bright new future >in showbiz awaiting, armed only with my copy of Tigermilk in >my handbag and fiddling with the clasps on my catsuit. >Who'll buy my video? well, given his penchant for stimulating entertainment on video (Columbo, anyone?) and his strange fascination with all things "exotic," I would venture to say that Stuey D would be a prime candidate. Susannah, what do you think? time to "get to my kip," then.

Re:Sinister: No B&S at all - I stand corrected
by Pierre.Coat＠cable.alcatel.com 13 Mar '98

Well Todd, I'm very sorry, but I'm an Afghan Whigs fan too, and I also listen to Pavement, Sonic Youth, Pixies ans a lot more. Is there a problem with this? Pierre ("I'm a Gentleman...") ____________________Reply Separator____________________ Subject: Sinister: No B&S at all - I stand corrected Author: /o=ALCATEL CABLE NA/prmd=ACAB/admd=ATTMAIL/c=CA/dd.RFC-822=owner-sinister(a)ph.ed.ac.uk/ Date: 13/03/98 14:00 My bold and stupid claim that I was the only person in the world on both the B&S and Afghan Whigs mailing lists has been refuted by two people.

Apologies - using a decent operating system, I didn't remind myself that on MS Windows makes assumptions about filetypes from names. For anyone whose PC told them they couldn't view the chat log when they clicked on it, it's rubbish - click again now. Oh, and feel free to comment.
