what's all this bother about not liking americans? it's rather a broad statement, and one that can't be substantiated. i mean, you can dislike the things our national government does, the fringe groups, aspects of our history, but hating a diverse group of people is ridiculous. and pretending that you understand a whole nation based on a handful of tv shows, news programs, and bad pop bands is equally ridiculous. take your bigotry elsewhere. xox megan mkl206(a)is8.nyu.edu visit the magnetic fields web page at: http://www.dissemination.com/megan/magneticfields/ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: monday people of new york unite
by Goon Koch 07 Oct '98

07 Oct '98

Comrades, Jonny and I have been conspiring about a New York meet-up, but we haven't made much progress by ourselves. I would like nothing better than to take charge and boss people around and organize the whole damn thing with a corporate sponsor and police escort and whatnot but I won't. I lack the confidence and self-esteem. That, and the unfortunate logistical impossibility of being in NYC before eight. So for after the show, I thought that we should try and gather right outside the club rather than attempt to fix some other location (club, bar etc.). That way we can at least pat each other on the back and exchange hugs and personally express our mutual admiration for our collective good taste (not to mention aesthetic standards and credibility) before we disperse and possibly conduct our own little cardie diaspora, wandering about the hostile canyons of midtown. Is there some way of discretely flying our colors? I've already proposed top hats and aprons. I've received no acclaim. How about brightly colored scarves? Can somebody propose a nearby landmark instead? Sorry if you think this is too early for such detailed plans. I just want to make sure it will work. I'm an engineer. I can't help trying to be efficient. okluvyoubyebye, -g. k.- ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: You and your bloody oranges
by Mctaggart, Robert 06 Oct '98

At last! The question I've been waiting for: Tami wrote: >can anyone reccomend some good cheese to me? I like cheese a lot, >especially gouda. Is Swedish cheese good, or would I just be >wasting my time? Far from it, Tami. I've had Swedish blue (no sniggering at the back) and I have to say it rules. It's like Danish blue, only better (maybe cos you can guarantee Peter Schmeichel's relatives were never involved in it). There are other kinds of Swedish cheese, you can buy them in IKEA along with maribou chocolate (God's own chocolate, you know), but they're more of your bog standard 'slice them up and stick them on your ryvita for breakfast' variety. I can't remember what any of them are called of course. Elsewhere, I've already sung the praises of Islay cheese. Cambazola rocks. Lancashire smoked cheddar is damn good. St Nectaire, Bavarian smoked cheese...the possibilities are endless. When Pulp went to Sweden, Russell asked the promoter there if he could try some of the local herring. The promoter backed away, saying "No, no, we don't have any of that". It was only later that Russell realised the guy thought he'd said 'heroin'.

Anyhoo, the song's "You and your sister" which is a cover of a Chris Bell (from Big Star) song and one of the best things TMC ever did, apart from "Song to the Siren" (the "famous" one) which is lovely. If you're prepared to wade through a lot of Dead can Dance type nonsense which leans worryingly towards Goth, there's a couple of goodies on the first LP, and the third one "Blood", That's the one with "You and your sister" and a couple of other pretty good songs, which I've forgotten the names of.

Sinister: French fries, French bread, French dressing...
by Erin Lewis 06 Oct '98

06 Oct '98

Hey kids, Philippe writes the most beautiful letters, doesn't he? I just want to say thank you to Philippe and Mark C and everyone else who says they like Americans. I have experienced the "I hate all Americans, but I guess *you're* okay..." and it's so nice to think there *are* welcoming arms in every country. I know America has a bad rep sometimes, especially what we read of France's opinion of us. I know many people who are scared to visit France, for fear they all hate us. If there are even five boys and girls in France as nice as Philippe and the other Sinisterines, I will have to take a holiday there. Let's have a picnic, I say. I love you all to pieces, Miss Erin, who just ordered her small Stow t-shirt and is happy, happy, happy as a texturized vegetable protein clam substitute Sending Honeypaul warm fuzzies via telepathy! ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

...but the french love canadiens,yes? Well,at least according to this teacher I know,or maybe he just tells those stories so we feel special... "My children,I was in France one day,on a day not unlike today.I was sitting in a little cafe,all by myself and I could hear the passer-by's whispering at me,insulting me...you know,they thought I was American. So I stood up,yes I got right up off my chair,and stared right back at those mocking faces and said JE SUIS CANADIEN. They started to appluad one by one." couldn't that just be a Molson commercial? the other story he told me was that if i would get beat up in europe unless i sewed a canadian flag to my sac a dos... ah,it's the irish who are the coolest anyways. sugar,sugar genny-pooh ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Por que te vas?
by Sarah 06 Oct '98

06 Oct '98

Hi my little Cleopatra fans! how are you! I'm great 'cos I've just listened to a fab song on a FAB film which makes me happy....the film is called CRIA CUERVOS (Raise ravens) and it's fab, but heres the main reason for the post.... the film has this song in it which Ana plays on her Dansette (or whatever) and they dance around the living room to it, until their grandmother calls them, and Ana goes to attend to her. And this song, I don't know who it's by, but it's fab. I think it may be called Por Que Te Vas (?), and my Spanish tutor has an idea it's by Marie Trine (?) - but we're not sure. It's an old choon so she says, but I think it's pretty bangin' cha? Does anyone know what this song is, or where I could get hold of it? Hay alguien en Espana que le sabe? Um, excuse my bad Spanish if that was wrong :) Porque me gusta mucho encontrarlo porque soy un poco mierda..... It may be on the film soundtrack... I am SURE there is much better Spanish Pop music about, if it's along the same style as Por Que Te Vas it can't get much better.... when I was ill in Tenerife, there were a load of strange dudes who did Kareoke songs on Toma Nota. It was funny. the song was called Bimbo and it SCARED ME. Tag wrote some stuff about cheese, may I add that the very mature cheddar you can get from our Spar is the best cheese in the world ever? And also that while on da cheese tip (wow...i'm going to say that more often...) that DAIRYLEA DUNKERS (especialyl with teh garlic chipsticks) are gods own food.... Stop being such wankers you lot about READING THE ARCHIVES!!! You're being more boring than everybody else who GOT THE HINT with the nine millionth message from someone whose been on the list EVER SINCE 3...6....9.. 'cha and thus knows their biscuits.....every bloody post, shut up....sorry....but it's a wee bit dull and monotonous...like mee... ah well, I am SURE no-one has posted to the list about this particular question of mine before so I am not going to waste 5 mins calling up my crappy browser and another 2 mins rebooting the pooter when it crashes and thentrying again, grrr d'oh! I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!!!!

hello honeyz, >and you know the crazy thing? Then enforce the restriction. My friend was >stopped outside the Supper Club for the Supergrass show cause the guy thought >he was 15. How can you tell the difference between a 15 and 16 year old. I >sure can't! that is really stupid...why they do this..i know 19 year olds that look 13,and 17 yearolds that look 30,i guess..they have to (but they only have all ages so they can sell booze and make cash,but i don't get that...it's not like underage drinkers can't find booze on our own)..but with 19+ i can at least understand in a way,they are trying to be slightly moral..but come on 15 and 16! my goodness,we're not children...it's just really hard to tell,and how can they prove? like i say,there should be intelligence/maturity tests that prove if you can certain places... the only thing we get our the cartes d'etudiants..and all you need is wite-out and a black pen to fix that problem (they ARE that cheap) I agree with listening to Belle And Sebastian in the car (as long as you're not driving) it verrrry beautiful,with the sloping valleys,rolling green hills..the horses galloping along! And right now,with the leaves changing,'red and yellow and pink(well no) and green'...happy sigh of content who is Kitt? what messages in taxi's? Is this inside joke? more about cars: parents and future parents,never ever ever disappoint your children over something as special as a belle and sebastian concert,it will come to venomously bite you in the ass months later. I get my driving license in 8 months...will there be more New York City picnics in future times? you know what bothers me about some girls? they think belle and sebaastian sound like hanson! and then i just make TINY retort over their marylin manson and i get 'Don't make fun of it if you don't understand it!' i'm sorry,but if you found mister marylin in your cupboard wouldn't you pick up his slimy worm body with 2 sticks and throw him out in the garbage!?!? a warning over the belle and sebastian homemade tribute tape: this happened before with a certain band,everyone said they would,then about 3 people did...i went over to record at this guys house,and then a bit later he divorced his wife...so,wear lots of good luck charms..but no rabbit's feet...oh my god,did you know those are REAL..i thought they were just,simulation-feet. my my,toronto ticket people are cranky! maybe you don't understand just what they say they get all 'YOU DON'T PAY MY BILLS,BITCH!' on you,i don't know how many tickets are left..i thinik there are still a lot,and they are just saying no to make you buy lots..ottawa ticket people are much nicer,for this kangaroo show i called,and i got a nice old granny on the phone! they are so much more honest and joking. where did ROdddddd The Bod go? mon amour! mon cheri! oui oui ouiiii...min namen alskling! fiddle dee dee xoxoxo genevieve ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Hi everyone, I was wondering if there are any kind souls out there who could possibly help me out. I need a ticket for the show at the Black Cat in Washington DC...I am in western Virginia and obviously cant go there to get one, and I have no credit card so I cant order one by phone. Are there any of you who either have an extra ticket or could get me one if I sent a check or money order? (Respond privately of course.) I would be very grateful.... thank you, sorry to clutter the list Jessica Delaware9(a)aol.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
