Sinister: dirty nonsense
by Carl Polgar Jr 30 Nov '98

30 Nov '98

does anyone remember back in the mid to late 80's when madonna and mtv had a contest in which you could direct the video for "true blue" -- and then she did her own version anyway? does anyone else remember absolutely trivial crap like this but forget important stuff like your mother's birthday? anyway, my idea for a "dirty dream" video wouldn't really be dirty. it wouldn't even need to feature the band at all. it would just involve people dancing. in the streets, in some office building, in a classroom -- just people dancing. and not slow dancing (or dirty dancing), but really wild, hands-in-the-air, halleluia-i-feel-the-music-inside-me dancing. cos that's what the song makes me want to do. that's all -- i'm late for class. love to all, carl +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: cover stars,
by Jake 30 Nov '98

30 Nov '98

Hi there all, I realised how long it had been since I'd last written when, before sending this, I had to check the address. Anyhow, I've been saving up my comments for a while now and I thought that I'd say a few things. Firstly, I think that the cover star of the new ep is some guy who works in a record shop in Scotland, probably Glasgow, and almost certainly the cool indie that everyone was talking about ages back. Really I should know exactly who he is, as I was told but it slipped my mind. What I want to know about the ep artwork is: What on earth does "Soul of an unearthly" mean? I'm afraid that I do have to agree woth everyone else about the gate being a bit of a let down. It was the only one that I hadn't heard before so I'll give it the benefit of doubt and say that it could be a grower. I went to the list crush page to cry at the fact that I had no votes and I was going to put it down to the fact that I was listed but I am (thanks Big Stu). Which meant that people knew who I was didn't have a crush on me. But then I scrolled down further to see that a certain Isobel Cambell had no votes either so I am happy again. I was tempted to vote for myself just to increase my ego, but then decided better of it so I'm off to email my mates and order them to vote for me. Just you wait i'll show you Fluffy Sarah (I'm still holding that grudge for you saying I smelt of poo or the like:( ) And as for Neil request for people to talk about the band on the tv, well why can't we have a spokesman (Honey gets my vote) and get him to talk about the list. Or maybe thats a bit sad.......... Oh and one last thing, is Ed Mason still on the list? Email me privately if you are. I never sent that tape I promised.

Sinister: post-Thanksgiving
by Heather Marie Propes 30 Nov '98

30 Nov '98

Monday. I just got back to my office. It's freezing. The heater seems to have died. I think I will die if it stays like this all day. And to think, 5 months ago I was living in Chicago. Now I can't even stand a Northern California November. Thanksgiving in California - Thursday - after the turkey feast, 6-7 glasses of red wine, and the obligatory chatting with the extended family, I put B&S on for those who were left. My cousin loved it, so did my mom. My dad said it reminded him of Donovan. Saturday - went driving around Hollywood with my cousin and fiance. Wound up at Canter's deli eating matzo ball soup and a knish (matzo ball soup is REALLY good - I had never eaten it before). We went to a club, waited out front 1/2 hour, then left. Went to a movie, "Waking Ned Devine," what an idiotic film! It was 2 hours of stupid jokes and insultingly ridiculous antics that would've fallen flat in an American film, made endearing because they were told in Irish accents. Yeccch! I hope this is not the future of European cinema. Anyway, just thought I'd post because I wanted to see my name on the list, and I wanted to rip that terrible film.

Stuart(or Chris Could do it) goes to sleep and dreams He is walking down the street and goes into a club and the rest of the band is playing and theres a bunch of "Hot" girls walking around and finally at the end One of the Waitress girls drops a glass of liquad(hint hint) on his pants and when he wakes up he looks under his sheets to find a Big surprise.If you know what I mean. if B&S couldnt be there for shooting it could Be a wee littel boy intead of stuart.ohh and The whole video is in the Colors of Yellow and Green like The covers of Dogs On Wheels and The Boy with the arab strap. The only thing really Is I've never directed anything to show stuff I've done but I'd want to do this more then anything and I may want to do directing for a carrer(I've wrote A script or two and have lots of Ideas!) well I guess i should stop wianing and send my idea in. -Damon "You Gotta Be Yourself You Cant be no one else"-Oasis "Why Live in a World When You can live in your head?"-Pulp "Feeling Scared Today Write Down "I am Ok" A hundred times The doctors say I am ok I am I am ok I'm not OK"-Eels "Thats Irrelavent"-Thom Yorke "I wanna Talk Tonight About How you saved my life"-Oasis +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Get it here
by WeeJay 30 Nov '98

30 Nov '98

.....Chockaboy Checking in.... This video idea is very exciting... I'd like to say for a second that I'm doing a film course and I've got a showreel lined up already, but putting together a treatment even for 5 mins involves a great chunk of creativity, so... Would anyone like to collaborate with someone who's got a little training? Please? Oh, and I managed to finally get around to scanning in a picture today, which can be found at the site below by clicking on the 'WJ Pages' link... It's the only one I have with me, a really cringey one from my NUS card with a black smudge on my face, and it's really small so the quality is terrible but I think you can get an idea from it... I've had a look at the new look site and cast my vote already, and I was very pleased to see that I've got one m'self. Yes, you know it's the right thing :) Anyway, the Duke, in his finite but nevertheless rather large wisdom said: > let it be bradcast from the roofs of buildings the world over: the > duke would fill, and i quote verbatim, 'Isobels' um, orifice' with one > thing and ONE THING ONLY. So, dukey baby, you don't deny the kitten mincing then, hmmn? Well, at least you only put it in there - Brad sucked it out, fried it with shallots, spread it on toast and served it as 'free samples' to the unsuspecting public in Asda. Oh yes. I must say that I really cant wait for this time next week - First a NEW B&S EP (that wasn't meant to be all in capitals, just the 'new' bit but B&S and EP demand capitals all the time you see) and then the rest of the week means finishing off here and going home to see lots of people I havent seen since the summer for hundreds of wild parties i expect. Maybe. More likely Charlie'll drag us all to some shitty nightclub and I'll spend a fortune on drinks and have a miserable time. Yippee Skip. For the miserable friend: Maybe you shouldn't try to cheer her up but instead give her some space to wallow in sadness for a while. Maybe you should give her 'Pink Moon' and let her ride it out as she likes. Then again, what do I know, I've once felt guilty for half a year for not being supportive enough to a friend who'd had a less than little family problem. Eighties movies are truly great, yes. A gang of us all laughed ourselves silly at 'Cocktail' last monday and today we're going to do the same with 'The Secret Of My Success'. I should explain that this is 2am post-club hilarity, not the sober sort. Well, I suppose I should be going now... Work do do etc. But I do think that the list is exceedingly lovely lovely lovely at the moment, and I'd like to hug you all if that was at all possible (applications privately please) but, well, bye!

Sinister: Lovely listees,vote for me. One and all, we'll have a ball.... (saddophantic drivel)
by Shearer, Calumn 30 Nov '98

30 Nov '98

Hello all. Welcome to the Calumn Shearer pop quiz and renewed list crush vote claiming attempt. aaaaannnnnd he's off. 1st - Belle and Sebastian porno movies. (was: Eee Ya Dirty Wee Booger #2 video) I'm not a filmmaker, but I know a man who is..... he's currently finished shooting the Johnny 7 easy-listening-umentary "This is Spinal Crap" - it's in post-production, so I asked him to apply for the job. With a bit of luck, he'll get it. If he needs extras (or even stars!) He's been told where to ask. more details if he gets the job. and on to some pop trivia, for the buffs out there.... I heard a song on that Mary-Anne "Calvin and" Hobbes show on Radio 1 (about a week ago) called "white with no sugar" or "I like it white with no sugar" It's damn fine - does anyone know what it's _actually_ called, and who plays it? It's doing my chuffing head in, so it is. a bit more info, if you care (which I doubt) - It's about "the new revolution" - towit: internet cafe's and e-mail. It's got a "northern" (that's northern england) bloke speaking, sort of poetically about being a "reciever in a cafe bar in manchester" (mibbe they're from manchester, mibbe not) and, and , and ,,,, it's got a great horn bit at the start. erm.... I hope that's enough to go on. I see the tall git's new list crush counters up, and I've got a vote already! yay! thank you who/whom/he/she/it/whatever you are. Reveal thy name, and I'll do my best to send you something nice - probably a tape, seeing as I've gotten round to "trimming down" that cupboard (I'll know if you're lying - I will! ) So - If you send me a list crush vote, I'll make you a tape. (SCANDAL!!! - Bribery and Corruption make it's evil way onto fluffy sarah's sinister list) hehe sorry honey ;-) there. that oughta do it. Love the archives, honey - well slick and a bit of damn fine coding going on in the background if i'm not mistook. Princess Honey's obviously smart _and_ good looking. (I heard she got the PhD from a mail order company in Arkinsas, but this has proven me wrong... again) oh, rambling now, aren't I ? See ya later, popkids. cal PS - I was unexpectedly in London at the weekend and sought out that bastion of belle and seb, the poetry place. but it was shut! boo! I'll be back down next week. I'll try then. I might even try to take Trous for a pint at the hogshead (see, told you I was there!) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Dirty Dream Number Poo
by Robin Stout 30 Nov '98

30 Nov '98

I think I enjoyed John W's Dirty Dream video description a little too much. Here's an idea of mine. It doesn't have Stu and Isobel bonking I'm afraid, but it does have strangely coincidental milk connotations. Here goes: A boy steps out of his door and walks along the street. Then he walks into another house where there is a family eating breakfast. They don't see him because he is dreaming. He sees the bottle of milk on the table and licks his lips. Then he walks out of the back door and ends up on a train. On the train is a businessman, who is standing up and holding a bottle of milk. The boy looks at the milk and his head sways as the bottle does. Then he walks off the train and ends up on one side of a pelican crossing. There are no cars. On the other side is a sexy milk fiend, holding out a bottle of milk enticingly and pouting. He presses the button and reaches out towards the bottle as he waits for the lights to change. But by the time they have the sexy milk fiend has gone. He crosses the road and ends up somewhere else ... you get the general idea. This is a bit like a film I filmed once where I was a sexy milk fiend. I was in a dress, I was in a mess, and I must admit that I quite enjoyed it. Ahh, you might say, this dream is not dirty. Well you wait till the boy catches the fiend and the milk starts flowing. That part's absolute filth. bye Robin +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: You're not whingeing anymore...
by Neil Dewhurst 30 Nov '98

30 Nov '98

Dear all, Ooh, you dun'alf moooaan. But all that was put into perspective by Kevan Cooke's disgraceful opining, repeated verbatim below... If I can liken Basingstoke to a lump of shit, and I think I can, if you were to put a sprig of holly on a steaming turd would people stop and say "ahh, how Christmassy"? I don't think so. I hope lumps of shit everywhere get together and bring a class action in the civil courts against Mr Cooke for his appalling slander. He should realise by now that Basingstoke is, in fact, to be likened to the deepest, darkest pit of hell during half-term, when all the devil-teens are on holiday giving birth to devil-babies and ALL WAITING FOR THE SAME BUS AS ME! and preventing me from listening to Stuart in peace. I don't know if anyone's said anything about a wee interview with Richard Colburn in November's Raygun, so I thought I'd bring it all to your loving attention. It doesn't say much, really, but it has given me my idea for getting into the band. All I have to do is bump into a band member, contrive a conversation which ends with me saying "well, yes actually, I can play the glockonspiel", and quicker than I can put on my Arab Strap, I'm an honorary member.
