Hey Everyone, i was just searching through the mailing list archive and couldnt find what i was looking for,So i was wondering if someone could tell me all the tour dates in California. THANKS A BUNCH

Mr Whitey, I'm suspicious. Last time you were asking if by northern soul, people were referring to the Verve album. It's too good to be true, I think someone is trying to be cheeky. John "disco stu" Warrender wrote:

Someone made me a tape with over 40 French (presumably) one-hit wonders from the 60s. Every song is great and I was going to rattle off the list of artists here. Just to show how knowledgeable and super cool and into obscure pop I am. But erm, that would be pathetic, so I won't.

Hello John, we meet at last. I'll forgive you for the lingerie comments and tell you a bit more about those songs. They hail from the (bootleg) Ultra Chicks series: "Filles in the Garage" and "Lolita Ya-Yas". Not only are they full of fantastic pop, but if you own actual copies they make you look really cool as well. Next time you have a party and when the music boys do the inevitable flip through your records, put them straight in front and they'll get really jealous.

What on earth did that freakishly tall man with the knicker elastic lubricant mean when he said I had more to apologise for than anyone else? I have no conscience, not even a clear one.

It's true, you know. He's had to be issued a special visa to enter Canada in 2 days' time. It's illegal to have no conscience without a permit here. When the CIB heard what he might be getting up to in Niagara Falls, they nearly revoked the visa, but he started singing an endearingly pathetic and out-of-tune version of the Canadian national anthem and saved the day.

Anyone who insists on sending posts to this list which are NOT positively dripping with gratuitous innuendo and salacious (preferably libellous) rumour-mongering about either band members or fellow listees should go out, find the nearest railings, and lick them until their tongues are sore. To avoid such a terrible humiliation, here's an example of the kind of lurid filth I'd like to see more of...

Peter Miller has no willy.

Shame, shame. It's not nice to make fun of people who need their balsawood dildos to have a bit of stuff. I don't think I want to hear the Duke's penance idea. I'm not even Catholic. It might involve staying in a cabin in Skegness for a year so you have the solitude required to decipher every 80's indie guitar "classic" that didn't come with a lyric sheet. I have a much better penance idea. You would have to hibernate for the winter wearing only brushed cotton pyjamas, and with only marzipan and Tunnock's bars to eat. Any takers?

Talking of endurance shagging (which I wasn't, but you lot were), Serge Gainsbourg, when asked if the sounds of carnal pleasure on "Je t'aime...moi non plus" were genuine, replied "Of course not, it's only a single. If it was real, it would be a long player".

No one could out-shag Serge, but I could think of a few people who might take up half of an LP. Coming second after Serge is nothing to sneeze at.

Must go, Christina Ricci is calling.

For anyone that's interested, her film "The Opposite of Sex" has just been released on video in North America. I've got to see that *and* Pecker, I've been a lazy cineaste lately. Luckily, in 2 days I'll have someone here who can persuade me to go to the video shop. But Christina is cool. She can tap dance. I used to tap dance as a child, you know. My first performance was to the tune of "Rubber Ducky", and I had an orange tutu and feathers in my hair. Not unlike what I wear when I go out clubbing nowadays. I might be lying, of course. 48 hours. And no, I'm not talking about that pishy b&s concert. That's just icing on the cake. love elisabeth xoxo +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
