Sinister: countries beginning with an S...
Like Scotland. Or SWEDEN, which is well on its way to being the new Scotland, music-wise. Apologies in advance for yet another shameless plug; but actually I don't think I've used my free shameless plug card yet, and besides, it's also got content! Kinda. For those of you still managing to lurk around these parts, or who are not playing the Myspace game (shock! horror!), hello, my name is Stacey and I run a club night here in Glasgow called Sounds of Sweden, featuring - you guessed it - the delectable sounds of Sweden, both on the decks and on stage. You may have read about us in The Guardian or... hahah sorry, always wanted to say that, and it's kinda true... ANYWAY. Our next 'do is tomorrow/tonight depending on when you read this - Thursday, Oct 19, at the Admiral Bar in Waterloo Street, Glasgow, featuring the swoonworthy resonating deep soulful sounds of The Fine Arts Showcase and Blood Music. I've got loads of savoury titbits about both bands, but I'll spare you all that just now. It's all up on our website, with music samples, photos (they're cute! as par the course with these Swedes it seems. mmmm yum!) and other fun stuff - http://www.myspace.com/soundsofsweden In between, I'll be spinning some choice poppy pop pop, including, perhaps, a Swedish cover of Photo Jenny? (see! content! more below, I swear...) While I'm at it, I might as well plug next month as well and get it over with in one e-mail. Besides, it's a BIG ONE and VERY EXCITING and I can barely shut up about it. We've got the amazing, stunning, incredible Hello Saferide, with Maia Hirasawa and Glasgow's own best-kept secret, The Poems, whose album, recently released on US label Minty Fresh, features guest vocals by none other than former B&S bird Isobel Campbell! Maybe she'll even put in an appearance at the gig. Ooooh eeee! I suppose I should mention the date eh? Wednesday, Nov 15. Same place. Tickets available in advance (yup, we so classy like that) from Tickets Scotland or Monorail. Or at tomorrow/tonight's gig (minus booking fee! Bonus!). Phew. It's over. I feel so dirty. Won't happen again, I promise. Well, at least not anytime soon. Forgive me? -s _________________________________________________________________ The new Windows Live Toolbar helps you guard against viruses http://toolbar.live.com/?mkt=en-gb +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.

Big thumbs up for Blood Music. The 'Sing a Song Fighter' album is delicious and is a highly recommended autumnal purchase. The song 'Wintercold' is just swoonsome. And speaking of newspapers, did anyone else see Bob Stanley's piece in The Times today about C86? Way to make a guy feel old, and all that, but it was pretty cool regardless. I am all aquiver in anticipation of the shows next week. keep the faith The Duke www.tangents.co.uk the home of unpopular culture po box 505, stoke canon, devon, ex5 4wz, uk On 18 Oct 2006, at 23:03, stacey dahling wrote:

Hello! This Thursday is our latest HDIF Presents show at the Windmill in Brixton. Flavorpill London wrote this lovely preview about the night: "No one throws dance parties for sensitive indie kids quite like How Does It Feel. Having played host to off-kilter bands such as Tilly and the Wall and Lucky Soul, they're back with an indie-pop line-up guaranteed to get Mary Jane-shod feet shuffling. The Steadies deliver swoony lyrics and xylophones (think the Concretes with more Y chromosomes), and Bristolian Frenchman François proffers sweet, lo-fi balladry. Amida's hopelessly catchy, jangly guitar tunes and Mancunian mischievousness top off what's sure to be a swell night of dancing for gangly boys and arty, bespectacled lasses." Tickets are here: http://www.howdoesitfeel.co.uk/hdiflive.html Doors 8pm The Darlings 8.30-9 The Steadies 9.15-9.45 Francois 10-10.30 Amida 10.45 And! While I'm here, another plug for the HDIF compilation. I've got about 30 copies of the first print run left, and I'm trying to work out whether we should repress. It would be nice if we could...! The compilation costs £8.99 plus P&P and is available from here - http://www.howdoesitfeel.co.uk/shop.html Here are some kind words on the album from the ladies and gentlemen of the press. Bless their hearts! "A perfect companion to our own 'indiepop' compilation. This is without doubt the best overview of 'indiepop' in 2006." - Rough Trade "Lovingly compiled by the curators of London's best indiepop club night How Does It Feel To Be Loved?, "The Kids In The Club" is the genre's own State of the Union address." - Yahoo Music "A fine introduction to current indie-pop up-and-comers, complete with detailed liner notes. Both longtime followers of the scene and curious newbies will all likely find their own tracks to love." - Pitchfork "The story of How Does It Feel to Be Loved? is one of heartfelt love for new music, and this CD is filled with the same. It¹s sequenced like the most obsessed-over mixtape, one where the creator stayed up nights figuring out the best songs to select, and the perfect order to put them in. The Kids at the Club is filled with songs that in their two or three minutes make you feel like new music is something worth caring about, like there are still songs out there worth falling head over heels in love with." - PopMatters "19 mighty fine reasons to be cheerful about the oft' much maligned genre of indie pop, and there's not a Belle and Sebastian re-issue to be seen; the torch has been passed and it's in safe hands." - Playlouder "The album is much like a night at the club (complete with photos of regular attendees throughout the booklet) - a satisfying mixture of varying styles and hidden treasures. This is the top contender for compilation of 2006." - Amazon "Twenty years after the release of the seminal 'C-86' cassette, London club night How Does It Feel To Be Loved? has released its own generation-defining compilation. If you care about independent music in 2006, then you need this album." - HMV Hope to see you on Thursday!
