Sinister: My first post.
by Peter Brittain 19 Nov '98

19 Nov '98

Hello! This is my first post. Umm. I expect I'm the only one here that apart from Belle and Sebastian, also likes Mogwai, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, and just about everything else on Warp and chemikal underground recordings? I kinda have unusual music tastes. Techno and Belle and Sebastian aren't very similar! Oh, by the way after about two messages I always descend into lurkerdom on mailing lists. I can't help it, I just do... P.S the mail probly says I'm Chris Brittain, but I'm not really :)

Sinister: Cuddly fluffy bunnies & chocolate G-strings
by Paul Field 19 Nov '98

19 Nov '98

yep, once again I have something to say after what seems like years to me and probably seems like seconds to everyone else. The only problem is it will bore most of you rigid. Tough shit! I didn't mean that, Im nice really. I'm actually drunk, and Ive so far spent about an hour trying to write this, but I keep hitting the wrong keys. I need to sleep, but first my poit. No, first my point: Jay wrote: My question is, I want to get a shirt of a team that represents everything Arsenal supposedly isn't. Snooty, posh, whatever, just to piss him off. I'd love to see the look on his face when I turn up all decked out in the enemy's colors, especially since I know NOTHING about soccer, and I stumbled upon everything he is passionately against! Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Well, without a doubt the best shirt to wear to piss off an Arsenal fan is a Spurs (Tottenham Hotspur) shirt. Now these are not especially snooty or posh, but they are big rivals of Arse-nal (haha very funny, I bet nobody has made that joke before). They both come from north London. A slight aside - do American sport fans also hate local teams outside of their own. Is there such a thing as a local team in America. If you want rockard working class though you can't go far wrong with a Boro (Middlesbrough) shirt. You can't even buy one outside of Middlesbrough though, so it may be a bit iver the top to come over here. I could send you one! Sorry, sorry, sorry. I'm being very dull, but I'm pissed and I've been talking fitba all night. Anyway, most people are boring when pissed. I'm no exception. I'm thinking of deleting this, but bolox, I'm rock hard and I've hard a drink, so don't fuckin mess wi me, ok? Humbly, Paul. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: three am light strikes twice pepsi adventure and cravings i dont understand
by kellym＠raygun.com 19 Nov '98

19 Nov '98

First of, how delicious are salt and vinegar chips? I'm a little crack addict with these things as of late. Does anyone know of any metadone-like substance that is particularly affective at kicking the salt and vinegar habit? Cos things are getting out of hand. Maybe a sinister intervention is in order? Perhaps ABC could make a made for TV movie about a pop-mailing list that saves a salt and vinegar addict from certain demise. I don't know who would play me though. Maybe Tori Spelling could play one of you kids and they could give it a cool title like "Mommy, May I Sleep With Danger? But then again, that one's already been done and it wouldn't make any sense. Secondly, I'm coming to London on the 26th of December and am thus far unable to find accomodations. I would ask to see if someone could put me up but I'm coming for 7 days and I don't want to be a scourge on anyone. So could someone perhaps suggest a cheap place to stay that might still have space left around this time? Also, is the Brighton meet up still on for the 28th? I'd really like to meet some of you kids while I'm there, so if you live in London and anticipate having some time in between Christmas and New Years, please e-mail me for I will be all alone and I don't want to spend seven days alone in a pub. Well, maybe the second part of that is true, but the alone part doesn't sound like too much fun. OK, I'm gonna go curl up in a ball under my desk with a bag of chips and take a little nap. I so sleepy. -Kelly Ryan McGuire kellym(a)raygun.com "it seems strange getting over you when all i loved, when all i might have loved, could have been the things i wrapped around you." +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Ohh, evanbear sounds just like me...his lovely little whine has turned my cheeks pink *sigh*. too bad i missed voting for any crush-list. to console you though, i'm sure most of the listees are shy little creatures who sit alone in their rooms with their pets (i have two little nellies *kitties* myself) and their stuffed animals. i sit with my lamb. she has big pink lips that everyone tries to tell me is really just her little lamby nose. a little big bear hug to ~~evanbear~~ xo xo me ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: She, me, I, you, everybody, everybody.
by Neil Dewhurst 19 Nov '98

19 Nov '98

I suppose I'd better start off with a little Nell and Sir Bar Stein content, since I haven't been on that thread for, ooh, two months or so, and the wibble vultures have been circling of late. My question to you is this: (And by you I mean those of you who hail from the green, hilly place known as Scotland) My girlfriend (and me voting for list crushes too, the shame...) hails from Ayr, and she loves B&S almost as much as I do, but she seems to have a distinct advantage in that much as I find the music evocative of emotions, colours and feelings, she feels a kind of small-town Scottishness about it that hits home. Is this a part of the overall emotion B&S inspire that I am doomed eternally to miss? And now a grammar lesson. The whole she and me thing strikes me as one of the pathetic attempts by grammarians to enforce illogical rules onto a perfectly decent and flexible language (cf split infinitives, split away people - no-one can lock you up for it). The idea is that if you take either she or I away, the sentence should still read grammatically. Of course if you were to say she gave it to me (oo-er) then that would be fine (oo-er). She does not give it to I, nor do I give it to she, I give it to her... ...which is all fantastically dull, but important if you want to successfully get on in life (apparently). Did you know (don't you just hate it when people say that, and when they rush up to you saying guess what, guess what?) that Shakespeare used around 17,000 words in all his plays, and that about one tenth of them he made up himself? Presumably we're talking about adding endings, as opposed to say, inventing a whole word like fgtho'd (to rhyme with Orange), but still, I give the man a lot of respect for that. In fact it inspires me to enter this fine and dandy rhyming verse competition. I have a good knowledge of rhymes, as I knew someone called Gabriel Cheng, whom I nicknamed Table Leg on the basis that it rhymes with his name. It does you know. Try harder. Believe. Neil Xx If you only listen to one song today, make it "Monument for a dead century" by loveable scouse mad-indies the Boo Radleys. Altogether now, "nobody lives here any more...We're building a monument, for a dead century". +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
