Sinister: b&s on drugs?
by Alexis Petridis 20 Jan '99

Ethan Sincoff wrote: however, I must say that I was listening to sinister the other night, while perhaps not in the right "chemical frame of mind" What a groovy way to chill on a rainy night ! Can anyone else share any possible drug experience stories regarding B&S?? Shamefaced though I am to admit it, I know what you mean. Obviously, it's neither big nor clever, but (a) they sound fantastic if you've, um, had a smoke: obviously so do most things, but there's something about the human warmth of B&S that really comes across if you're in a more, uh, malleable frame of mind. That's actually how I formed a sort of bond with B&S records, listening to them after I got back from clubbing. There's something about them that fits perfectly with that scenario, when you're alone and awake and it's that really hushed time outside about 4-5am. The sort of resigned sadness in something like Judy And The Dream Of Horses really seeps through, and the music's just perfect, really warm sounding... you do tend to be terribly receptive to emotional music in those circumstances. Anyway, their music sounds comforting and lovely. And I suppose that's why they sound good on drugs. Mick McMick wrote: Maybe they're referring to "Electronic Renaissance"? Idunno about a version, but it's certainly very dancey, in addition to being lovely. Nah, it can't be that. I agree that's a beautiful record, but I want a proper banging cheesy house version of 'The Boy With The Arab Strap'. With a rave "diva" hollering out the words: "THA MAN WHO DRI-I-I-I-VES MINICA-A-A-A-BS DAHN IN OL' COMPTON! THE AY-JUN MA-A-A-N!" etc etc. I think that would be nicer than winning a Brit. On my stereo: 'Frozen Warnings' by Nico. It's a laugh a minute here at Petridis Towers. And thanks awfully to that American girl who said the phrase "life pisses in my soup once more" made her day. That's v. sweet. Am I going about contributing to this list in the right way, by the way? Most other new contributors seem to have posted an introductory thing about who they are, and all I've done is bang on about Felt... Take care, Alexis xxxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

You can expect a pretty good line-up, though, and lots of less prominent bands on the smaller stages. There are always rumours about who might be playing, and Michael Eavis(the organiser)has said there's a good chance REM will be there this year.

Sinister: The glasses make the man, I think
by Jygsaw18＠aol.com 20 Jan '99

20 Jan '99

Keith: your glasses are amazing. I love them. Truly you were an icon of modern fashion even at a young age... That sort of intentional dork-look is quite avante-garde. Witness Todd Solendz (i hope I've spelt that right) the filmmaker. I've been looking for a pair of glasses like that for some time.. for some reason they are never sold around here. bother Dave +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Too orangey for crows (slight return)
by Mark Casarotto 20 Jan '99

20 Jan '99

Hullo, fellow Torquay United fans: Scott said of "We Rule the School": I prefer to read it not as Stuart speaking as a girl (which of course he does alot), but instead as Stuart's worldview as a bit different than that of a "man". "Man" here being different than simply "male" (which is having the proper genitalia), but "man" signifying the common Macho- business - boy -fully -competent-a t-all-things-manly type of social construction (social gender and genetic sexuality don't need to be identical). I think stuey and the b&s ethic are a pretty good expression of something different than the "world made for men". Don't ya think? Absolutely. I never got the impression that he was being a female at all, but rather that it never even occurred to him that he could be considered a "man", which for me has as much a sense of convention as machismo. It also could be a rejection of responsibility, coupled with the wistful nostalgia over school days (I find it a little too cloying to envisage Stuart picturing himself as a schoolboy once more) - he seems to be equating growing up with being no longer able to do things like ice skating, which is a fine analogy, in my opinion. Nostalgia - a nice place to visit, but you wouldn't want to live there, etc... The Stereolab/B&S connection, to me, seems to be both bands' debt to the Velvet Underground and it's constituent members - Mo Tucker's sparse, simple songs do have something in common with Isobel's, even if it is a lazy comparison. I agree with the Sleep the Clock Around similarities, and would add the start of Tyjamas and Electronic Renaissance, not to mention the Sister Ray in miniature that Judy is trying to be before dissolving into a gorgeous winsome singalong. But the most important thing that simply has to be said is BUY THE FIRST STEREOLAB ALBUM, "PENG!", as it is utterly fantastic, nowhere near as poncey and self-indulgent as their more recent drum'n'jazz noodlings, much as I like them, and sounds the most like B&S (just about). It is the only album in the world as good as Tigermilk, even if it lags just that crucial bit behind IYFS. That's all, really. Except to say to Mick that he must, must persevere with Hefner who are simply beautiful - sell your kidneys to get the "Breaking God's Heart" album of last year. I promise you, it'll make you come. Buckets.

Sinister: Fox in a box

Keith wrote: Indeed "Box even rhymes with "Fox" (as in in the Snow). Christ - if I keep on going on with this, Box, begins with "B" followed by "IN the snow", put these two together, you've got "BIN" - yes - you've won Dusty Bin! -- My friend, welcome to the world of semiotics, proving nothing can mean anything...in this case, used for evil purposes instead of good. For a further example: And what is in the bin? "Trash," covered by Morrissey. (or, some could argue, comprising most of Morrissey's output--I'd definitely put _Kill Uncle_ in that bin) [B]elle and Sebast[i]a[n] And on a non-B&S-related note, what does "Ask" spell out in an anagram? "Ska," which could explain Morrissey's unreciprocated affinity for the skins.

Sinister: funky, funky get a little funky now
by Claire M Timmins 20 Jan '99

20 Jan '99

Firstly does anyone want to sell me a set of good speakers for £60? Also just have to say that Trouble man-Marvin Gaye is a great Cd. And it slots in nicely to todays funk/soul session in the english lang dept. at Glasgow Uni. Along with soul diva, Aretha and "WHoah", Superfly -Curtis Mayfield. I wish I could invite you all along to the party as it is absolutely freezing and the body heat would go down a treat. Hmmmmm. What a great day...
