une. "if your feeling sinister" by > belle and sebastian its probably tacky to confess this on the "sinister" list ? but truely such an impressive collection of sound melody and lyrical charm... much more resembling dream soaked settings of sorts, that un-fold so perfectly well from the opening "stars of track and field" to the brilliant closing "judy and the dream of horses" well i wonder? are these very images that accompany each particular song near to what runs through some of your own minds??? my favorite record of all time!!!! deux. "hatful of hollow" by THE SMITHS although "the queen is dead" which appeared 2 years after, is almost unanimously considered their greatest artistic achievment! its this one that really kills me! bah!! The greatest quotable record of all-time!!! trois. "exile in guyville" by LIZ PHAIR Coming out in 1993, this one exploded on to that post-grunge scene...! 18 tracks of pure terror from a young mans point of view!!! but i sure loved these songs...! esp. > "fuck and run" and "help me mary please" quatre. "either/or" by ELLIOTT SMITH a junkies christmas on earth! but even if you don't fuck with the spoon elliott will be sure to let you know your in for it good for being strong and choosing love instead "between the bars" :/ cinq. "agaelis byrjun" by SIGUR ROS maybe it helps not to understand these peculiar icelandic words??? but YES! they do sound like a family of crying whales lost in a mysterious, fogladen sea... and for some reason, this rather appeals to me...? six. "another green world" by BRIAN ENO like sigur ros, all these seemingly otherworldly compositions provoke the soul to action!!! if your a creative artist, you will understand this completely... sept. "nowhere" by RIDE i was in love at the time!! and I met her on one of those streaking trains with the full moonlight splashed all over us...! "as the train rushes past, like a life gone to fast" huit. "mars audiac quintet" by STEREOLAB what would a top ten list be worth without including these damn socialists!!! neuf. "crooked rain, crooked rain" by PAVEMENT not only a hilarious poke in your face towards the establishment, the man, the cops, the heat, the fuzz but a smashing collection of tunes as well.......! dix. "thank god for mental illness" by THE BRIANJONESTOWN MASSACRE this record cost them barely $17.27 to record! one of these tracks has been covered by the dandy warhols and on another, while it was being recorded in the studio the singer gets a huge extension cord and goes streaking into the middle of hollywood bvd. shouting bible quotes to the horrified passer byes :/ sorry... this won't happen again. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
