Hi everybody
The archives are now working again - they are hosted by a kind friend with
a huge computer, (they are very big now and can't be hosted by us) and
were temporarily out of order, which we could do nothing about
Some of you may have had a virus message, which seems to come from
sinister. There is NO WAY you can catch a virus from the list - this
message has come from someone who has both sinister and you in their
address book. It randomly picks one address to send the virus from and
another to send it to. Very friendly. Mails from the sinister list will
not contain attachments, so be very wary of any which do. There are some
very nasty viruses around at the moment - better make sure your virus
checker is up to date.
Kin asked about covers and other unreleased songs- the lovely
ShawnandEmily listed some here:
http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/200110/msg00355.html
In case the archive is down, they said..
"Anyway, in 2001, I'm aware of our very clever friends covering the
following songs (or bits thereof) in concert:
Sympathy For The Devil (Glasgow: 28 Feb)
*a batch of songs at the Scottish Socialist Party...er, party (Glasgow:
April?/May?) Sex Pistols, Pink Panther Theme and probably a few more that
I can't remember)
Smooth Operator...Sade (Dunoon: 9 June)
Suspicious Minds...Elvis (Dunoon: 9 June)
The Sun Has Got His Hat On (?)...Elvis Costello (Perth: 10 June)
Time Of The Season...The Zombies (Dunfermline: 11 June and again several
times since....It might have been done at the SSP party before the proper
tour started though, but I can't remember for certain)
I Fell In Love At First Sight...Chick Robertson, father of Neil Robertson
(Aberdeen: 14 June)
The Boy With The Thorn In His Side...The Smiths (Glasgow: 15 June + San
Francisco: 8 Sept)
Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?...Rod Stewart (Glasgow: 16 June)
Letter From America...The Proclaimers (Glasgow: 16 June)
Everyday People...Sly and The Family Stone (London: 29 June and again
several times since)
Je T'Aime...Serge Gainsbourg / Jane Birkin (Cardiff: 1 July)
Come And Get It...Badfinger (Cardiff: 1 July)
Jilted John...Jilted John (Ipswich: 5 July)
Don't Stop Me Now...Queen (Ipswich: 5 July)
Alone Again Or...Love (Los Angeles: 5 Sept)
Creeque Alley...Mamas and Papas (Los Angeles: 6 Sept)
The Leader Of The Pack...The Shangri-La's ?...I'm blanking here (San
Francisco: 8 Sept)
San Francisco (Wear A Flower In Your Hair)...Scott MacKenzie (San

a Left Banke song (Vancouver: 13 Sept)
Crosstown Traffic...Jimi Hendrix (Seattle: 14 Sept)
Don't Fear The Reaper...Blue Oyster Cult (Olympia: 15 June)
Fool's Gold...The Stone Roses (Olympia: 15 June)
Baby...Caetano Veloso / Os Mutantes (Brazil, both nights?)
Minha Menina...Jorge Ben / Os Mutantes (Brazil, both nights?)
They didn't do this sort of thing as regularly in the previous years, but
I
think these have all been done before:
The Kids Are Alright...The Who (Bowlie 1999)
It's Hard to be a Jew on Christmas...from South Park (Washington DC 98)
More Than A Feeling...Boston (Boston 98)
Poupee De Cire, Poupee De Son...France Gall (many times in 1998)

In A Nutshell...Orange Juice (Manchester: 28 Dec 97)
What Goes On...Velvet Underground (NYC: 6 Sept 97)
I'll Be Your Mirror...VU (NYC: 5 Sept 97)
Reel Around The Fountain...The Smiths (Oxford 97 and another time more)"
Maybe someone can bring this up-to-date?
