In-Reply-To: <7D76D1CB-FD61-4583-8FE9-74442B9C3A8C@tangents.co.uk> Message-ID: 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!

What's up brothers. Hope all are well. I'm doing okay except I still don't know the identity of the REALLY CAMP GUY from Coachella whom I spoke of and was looking for in my last e-mail. I'm sad about that, but, life has to go on, albeit really-camp-guylessly. Sigh. It's good really though, because the winter has finally arrived and GIRLS are once again wearing cutesy cutesy winter coats and scarves that are almost always so adorable. So these days I just spend my bus journeys at work telling all these girls how cute they look and giving them each a massive hug, and they seem to appreciate that. I like to think that I'm making London a much happier place. So yes, speaking of hugs, I really miss the sound of a bowling ball hugging the path on a bowling lane to the strike zone, and the eventual explosion of the pins as the ball hits -- and it just reminded me that International Sinister Bowling Day is happening again, soon. It's the final weekend of the year, which makes it conveniently the 30th December, when nothing at all happens, nor should they happen, apart from ten-pin-bowling. So I hope you will all be doing that, and maybe some of you want to come with me. Let me know if you do. Especially if you're a guy who is really camp, and was at Coachella screaming your lungs out when B+S played Twattybus. That's all!

Message-ID: <20061128113555.14609.qmail@web86305.mail.ird.yahoo.com> Hello Old Friend, ... or his boots, at least. I post this at the request of Sally who is working on behalf of MAG, the mine clearance charity (if this breaches sinister etiquette, then please feel free to chastise me in as painful a manner as you can manage, O Fragrant Princess Honey) "Stuart Murdoch’s wellies up for grabs in charity auction on eBay A pair of Stuart Murdoch’s wellies, worn at Glastonbury 2004, go on sale on internet site eBay at 12 noon today (Tuesday 28th November 2006) in a charity auction to raise money for MAG (Mines Advisory Group). Shoes have been donated by 60 high-profile male and female celebrities, from the world of pop, film, TV, sport and the arts. MAG employs more than 2,500 people worldwide to help provide safer futures for lives affected by conflict in countries such as Lebanon, Angola, Afghanistan and Cambodia. MAG has cleared millions of landmines and unexploded bombs across the world and saved millions of lives and limbs with its programme of conflict recovery. The MAG auction can be seen on eBay at www.ebay.co.uk and www.magclearsmines.org. It will last for ten days until 8th December 2006. Please bid generously!" Er, that's it. I hope that you are all leading happy & productive lives, Love David +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.
