Sinister: Re: Mogwai
by Mike Newman 30 Nov '97

30 Nov '97

I'm just listening to "young team" for the first time...I've seen Mogwai mentioned on this list previously and I wondered if there is a B&S connection beyond nationality? Actually, they sound curiously like Bitch Magnet to me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Visit the TRAUMATONE/Great Northern Electrics/Bacchanalian Revel homepage: http://www.geocities.com/~greatnorthern/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Incidentally is anyone going to see Arab Strap at Manchester Roadhouse on Monday? If you see a short 'strawberry blond' boy there, say hello, it's probably me. Sorry, I can't quite bring myself to describe my hair as 'ginger'. My sister was teaching her class of 5 year olds about hair colour, and this one kid said his hair was 'sparkly orange'. I like that. In Romania they say 'the red man is a bad man'. You know it. I'm bad. Love and kisses Sparkly Orange of Chorlton Yup I'll be one of those wonderful ppl there though scince you can only fit about five ppl in there I guess I'll see you there (is it sold out I don't have a ticket yet???) My hair is positively brown though what I could really do with is a tasty line in hats . Any suggestions anyone??? gotta go Chemical Brothers calls..... *sigh* so many gigs so little time :) Dan xxxx P.S. Does anyone know when Trembling Blue Stars new one is out (I heard second week of December????) P.P.S My depression is over :) women are wonderful again (not that I was a misogynist before) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Beatnik
by MWaggner＠aol.com 29 Nov '97

29 Nov '97

it's by Toby Litt is called Beatnik I thought this rang a bell... Last year or earlier this year we were at a John Cale show at the Supper Club in NYC, and met Toby Litt in the crowd. Shy little fellow in a black leather coat. My friend spent the evening talking to him and later regretting that she didn't offer to show him the city. She went all out to get his first book of short stories from the UK (it wasn't available here) and said it was great. She has Beatnik, but hasn't read it yet... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Poetry? Java?
by David & Katrina 29 Nov '97

29 Nov '97

it's just something that i discovered elsewhere, but i've been teaching myself Java and managed to get a Java Applett going of the famous fridge magnets game of Magnetic Poetry. i'm trying to customise it so that it's Belle and Sebastian orientated. so, if you've got a java enabled browser (Netscape 3 or above will do fine - IE doesn't handle Javascript or java as well, but it should still work), take a look at what we've currently set up, mail us back letting us know if you think it's any good and how long it took to work. and the important bit, i need 50 or so words and parts of words to use as the tiles, so any and all suggestions would be welcome. thanks david kitchen PS: it's currently at http://www.totalweb.co.uk/bluesoda/test/ -- ******************************************************************** http://www.totalweb.co.uk/bluesoda/ mailto:bluesoda@totalweb.co.uk ******************************************************************** ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Kitty's jumping ship. What do we think about that? I think we should bombard her with good reasons to stay on the list. And don't forget to send them to her personal address in case she's already unsubbed.

Sinister: Not good news at all ...
by Ian Turton 29 Nov '97

29 Nov '97

Just read this on the Galaxie 500 mailing list, guess some of you'd want to know. Apologies if some one has already posted something with similar content. ------------------------------------------------------------ Rock Experimentalist Epic Soundtracks Dead At 37 Former Swell Maps co-founder influenced Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr and others. Pictured on cover of a recent album. Epic Soundtracks -- the pioneering drummer and keyboardist of the band Swell Maps whose influence was palpable among American rockers such as Dinosaur Jr's J Mascis and Sonic Youth -- was found dead in his London apartment on Saturday (Nov. 22). A cause of death has yet to be determined; a coroner's report is expected later this week. Soundtracks was 37. "They're not quite sure how long he was dead," said Tom Prendergast, a spokesman for Bar/None Records, the label for which Soundtracks recorded. He said authorities have not ruled out suicide as the cause of death for the musician, who was presumed to be in good health. The spokesman said he had not known Soundtracks to be depressed of late. Prendergast said he had spoken with Soundtrack's brother and partner in Swell Maps, Nikki Sudden, but said only that, "(Sudden) was very sad -- he was his brother." Soundtracks, born Paul Godley, formed Swell Maps at the tender age of 12 with Sudden in Solihull, England. The pair, along with bassist Jowe Head and guitarist Richard Earl, developed a reputation as confident experimentalists who loved the German avant-garde rock band, Can. Although the group recorded only two albums (A Trip to Marineville and Jane From Occupied Europe) before disbanding in 1980, they later proved to be quite influential, especially among American artists on the vanguard of punk and indie rock, including R.E.M. and Pavement. In the late-'70s, Soundtracks played with Mayo Thompson's reformed Red Krayola before moving on to play with Sudden again in a band known as the Jacobites. He also logged time as a drummer for Australia's Crime and the City Solution. Eventually, Soundtracks and his partner in Crime Rowland Howard (ex-Birthday Party) left to form These Immortal Souls, who issued Get Lost (Don't Lie!) in 1987 and reunited for I'm Never Gonna Die Again in 1992. When Soundtracks surfaced as a solo artist that same year, he abandoned his drum kit to refashion himself as a singer and songwriter, and enlisted many of the stars who he'd influenced to lend a hand. His first disc, Rise Above, featured contributions from Howard, Mascis and Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo and Kim Gordon. After releasing Sleeping Star 1994, Soundtracks embarked on a tour with the Lemonheads' Evan Dando. His most recent record, 1996's Change My Life, was produced by Primal Scream's Henry Olsen. A funeral for Soundtracks will be held in his hometown of Leamington Spa, England, on Monday Dec. 1).

Sinister: Cock fun and fanny magic
by mctag＠mcmail.com 28 Nov '97

Hello you lovely lovely people, The pop quiz - super cock fun was had by all. Except that I managed to leave my prize (rare promo of SFAs 'Man don't give a fuck') on the train back to the rainy city...dozy fool that I am. Other highlights: Susannah's shock revelation of her usual name for quiz teams (see above); Katrina's unexpectedly spirited defence of Michael Hutchence, me confusing Noel Gallagher's bum with Stuart Murdoch's (didn't recognise it with the lights on) and getting a clip round the ear from Katrina; and you forgot to mention Stuart's impromptu set with the Spice Girls on backing vocals and Morrissey on the eukelele, all those new songs, and the cover of 'It's raining men'. Or was that a dream I had. I get so confused.... Elsewhere, 34 messages, Lord-love-a-duck. Tim wrote... >Lastly, I don't love B&S for their guitar-led brilliance. I love >them for their brilliance. ...and I couldn't agree more, but Lancashire is not miserable, my ma and pa live there, and it's OK. And the cheese, is that the smoked cheddar?..Oh yesyesyes. Glad you've lost your cherry, Dina. Please tell me more about 'telepathic sex'. And 'Journey to the Polar Dreams' is without doubt the best name for a radio show I have ever heard. Especially when it's in Spanish. That's all. I'm off to the Land of Polar Dreams. I love each and every one of you Mr Sparkly Orange xxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
