Me and a friend are going to the Nottingham gig in a car, and we don't know how to do it. Please help us!! If anyone could send us some decent directions for simpletons t'would be much appreciated. We'll be coming from Birmingham if that helps any. Also, is there anything happening in Nottingham after the gig? Listees meeting up? Anything? If not, could anyone suggest any lovely places to while away the wee hours?
this requires that funny old thing called 'web magick'. all you have to do to weave the spell is start up your old browser and type in http://www.rac.co.uk/ and then follow the link for electronic servies > route planner and then enter the place names (from and to) then click 'cast spell' (form submit or whatever) and wait a mo'. before your very eyes you'll get a detailed route including traffic information, accident reports and a lovely map to show you the way. cool eh? only works within the UK tho', but perfect for all you driving to various gigs this summer. david kitchen ----------------------------------------------------------------------- david kitchen : merchandising and websites : jeepster records http://www.jeepster.co.uk/ http://www.jeepster.co.uk/belleandsebastian/ mailto:shop@jeepster.co.uk jeepster recordings ltd, 217 canalot, 222 kensal road, london w10 5bn to subscribe to the news mailing list mail majordomo@jeepster.co.uk with the words 'subscribe news' in the body of the message there is no need to subscribe if you are on the 'sinister' list +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".

i like windy and carl but then everyone know's that i have limited taste. i especially love the blue 10" that had a hand inked cover. very quaint. the record was great too, especially 'Kate'. perhaps we should get a copy for adrian so he can have two Kates. but if you don't like music that sounds like clouds of sea mist give it a miss. if you do like said sounds, can i also recommend (again) the Windsor For The Derby record? lists: my favourite list song is St Etienne, 'Fake 88'. it's on the fan-club cd 'i love to paint' and also appeared on one of those Volume compilations. it has stephen duffy reciting a whole load of things from the 80s. it's very funny, but only, i suspect, if you're old and sad. the new Lambchop record has no list songs, as far as i can make out, but it is very very fine indeed. out the same day as the new B&S record, which will make for a fine double bill. the 'new country' article in Uncut this month is most amusing... the duke oh, can i also just add that i got email this morning from someone at http://www.unamerican.com and it seems they are giving away 'Fuck Work' stickers, which i have to say i find very appealing. i haven't headed over to the site yet, but it does sound promising. -- 'all of our dreams are dying of overdoses' Tangents On-Line http://www.virtual-pc.com/tangent/ http://website.lineone.net/~tangent/index.html PO Box 102, Exeter, EX2 4YL, UK tangent@lineone.net +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".

Haven't heard it myself, not really a big St. Etienne fan but it sounds like a neat counterpoint to Denim's 'I'm Against The Eighties', from 'Back In Denim'. By neat coincidence, my favourite list song is the similarly themed 'The Osmonds' from the same album, which is Lawrence telling us about all thing's 70's. I guess I like it cos he mention Bell records. Oooooh, the Drifters on Bell records. Oh yes, they made me what I am. And no matter how it ends ... then he done gone and writ:

Crikey yes. I've been driving the neighbours nuts with Kurt Wagner's lovely Nashville falsetto. It's cool the way their inserts keep advertising the Country Music Hall of Fame. I've been to Nashville twice and missed it both times, simply cos' I couldn't haul my arse out of The Idle Hour tavern on Music Row. Bit of a dive, but if the swimming cap fits ... Did you know Greg Luganis is gay ? Berlimey, there's more:
the 'new country' article in Uncut this month is most amusing...
Care to expand on this just a wee bit ? Amusing cos it bollocks, or cos it takes the piss amusingly, or, er, what ? I guess I could buy it, but I've got a bit of a downer on music mags at the mo (especially music mags writing about my beloved Country music) and I don't fancy having my newsagent shouting 'this ain't a library mate' at me while I'm reading it in the shop. I don't fancy having my newsagent full stop. Side 1 is a wrap. That famous 'difficult second side' still to do.

Did you know Greg Luganis is gay ?
Sarah, and other MSP fans, who will know better than me; was it richey who said 'all rock and roll is homosexual'? well i guess that can go for all art or all ife or something, i dunno. i don't really care about people's sexuality, if they're sexy they're sexy and if they're not, big deal. my outlook on life must be self-reflective or something. but since we're in that area, i thought of another list song in the Future Bible Heroes 'memories of love'. well it's kind of a list song. and jonathan richman's 'that summer feeling', is that a list song? i guess it is. it's magical anyway, but you all knew that of course.

it's just so funny to be seeing a magazine writing about 'the new country' at this point in time... the article is mainly bollocks, but it's going to be kind of interesting for newcomers, or even to old sods like me who kind of drifted away after Uncle Tupelo split up. I remember writing about Uncle Tupelo, Swell, Jayhawks etc in my 'melody haunts my reverie' zine back in, oh god, 1992, and feeling a bit like a latecomer even back then! So i dunno, it was kind of a weird feeling. The cover CD is good though, and makes me want to hear more of quite a few of the newer groups. respect. the duke -- 'all of our dreams are dying of overdoses' Tangents On-Line http://www.virtual-pc.com/tangent/ http://website.lineone.net/~tangent/index.html PO Box 102, Exeter, EX2 4YL, UK tangent@lineone.net +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".

My favourite musical biography is Bob Dylan, Performing Artist by Paul Williams. Straight ahead no-nonsense stuff, v. insightful. I was at the beginning of what looked like a steep Dylan learning curve when I read it, and it kind of pointed in me in mostly all the right directions The duke of harringay (who listed just about all my other favourite biogs) wrote:

Oh, I just stuck that in there as a parody of whoever else thought it *was* very pertinent to blurt that sort of thing out. For those who don't know, Greg Luganis was an Olympic diving champion (there's some famous footage of him hitting his head on the board his way down from a dive). I'd just been talking about a bar being a dive. I was trying to make the statement more stark and tangential, to throw the comment's inherent daftness into greater relief. Or some such bobbins. A friend insisted last week that a cup of tea had more caffeine in it than a cup of coffee. Others proceeded to back her up. Should I just just ditch one of the central tenets of my belief structure without a fight ? That's a nopey nope, Alfie. I shall plunder science. Notify ground crews. Tag wrote:
