Sinister: oh eight nine one FIFTY! FIFTY! FIFTY!
I love having a net connection at home. Get home from the pub, and then answer my e-mails. You'remybeshtfriendintheworld. A good ol'-fashioned mix'n'match stylee message-a-rama: On Fri, 14 Aug 1998, Chris wrote:
Hurrah! Hooray! My Looper single arrived yesterday. Boo! Hiss! It didn't have a middle. Which of you bastards stole it?
This is why the good lord invented Bluetones 7"s. (You didn't think you were supposed to listen to them, did you?) Pop the middle out of them and attach it to the record of your choice. On Thu, 13 Aug 1998, ELIZABETH DAPLYN wrote:
Isn't Louis Theroux the bloke who did that "Weird Weekends" thing on BBC2 a while back?
That's the man.
Seeing him playing acoustic guitar (sarcastically, if that's possible) with a proselytising mission for The Family in some godforsaken American town was a peach, it really was.
The bewildered look on their faces when he played George Michael's "Faith" was worth the license fee alone. A second series is being made... I saw a job ad in the Grauniad for a series producer. On Thu, 13 Aug 1998, ELIZABETH DAPLYN wrote:
Hands up everyone who likes that Hillman Minx song "I've Had Enough"? Marvellous if self-conscious.
Hmmm.. reminds me of that Beloved track where they just reel off a list of names. ("Hello"?) The Helen Love track's better. On Fri, 14 Aug 1998, yaniv gafni wrote:
i first heard b$s on the "alternative nation" on mtv.
Alternative Nation's about the only place I hear new music these days. It's now taken the place in my life where Mark Radcliffe's old show used to sit -- where I always have a paper and pen handy when I'm listening, so that I can scribble down the names of songs that I want to investigate further - this week's list included Scott 4, Kid Loco and Quickspace (Anyone know when HAPPY SONG #2 comes/came out? Cause it sounded f---ing tops.) On Fri, 14 Aug 1998, poetryplace2 wrote:
I give it a big trousers thumbs-up.
Can I nominate "Trouser Thumbs" as the official list euphemism? Night night. Rod.

Of course, this is not always a wise thing to do. Members of this list may remember my deeply embarrassing outburst a couple of months ago.

How many other list songs have there been? I remember the Billy Joel song We Didn't Start The Fire, and of course A House's Endless Art/ More Endless Art (and it's erm tribute, the Divine Comedy's Booklovers) but there must have been more. I think that Hillman Minx song is utter rubbish though. Just WHY has he had enough of all the things he mentions? We never find out.

There's "Girl 7" (or is it Girl 8..?) by top-notch pop-band Saint Etienne. It's basically a list of places, alternating between bits of London and exotic places "Primrose Hill, Statton Island ???, Tulip Farm,...". tim +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".

staten island maybe? though that would be a laugh, to classify staten island as an "exotic place!" the most maligned of the boroughs of New York, it's really only one step away from lawn guyland or new joisey. home of mall rats and auto detailers and all that. statton island, on the other hand, sounds very interesting indeed. devoted to musical minimalism and and the choppy guitar playing of stuart moxham? populated entirely by pale people who like to play with drum machines? it'd be a nice place to visit but i wouldn't want to live there. i bet they'd have nice views of the sea, though. brian bcw4977@is2.nyu.edu +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
