November 1998 - Sinister

Sinister: erm... I've noticed you around... I find you very attractive... Would you like a list crush from me?
by Shearer, Calumn 19 Nov '98

Hello friendly list peeps. and an _especially_ big hello-and-a-hug-with-a-snuggle to the Two people who sent in crush votes for me.. I'm well chuffed, considering I hardly ever post, but I've gone into severe detective mode, racking my brain to try to find out who it was.... go on, tell me... I promise I won't go all obsessive/posessive on you (unless you want me to ;-) ) anyway... a few things to write about... Someone was speculating on the specific gender of the listmomma Honey, (Quick apology to Honey - look away everyone else - I have been meaning to say "thanks" for your mail, but I've been working _really_ hard lately, and haven't had time yet. I'll write it after this.. honest!)... Lovely Linda answered this, but I was wondering..... why "Honey"? well, to answer my own question (and introduce a little low grade smut) I quote the first lines of "The Stars Of Track And Field" by a band called Belle and Sebastian (they're quite a good band) Make a new cult every day to suit your affairs Kissing girls in English, at the back of the stairs You're a honey, with a following of innocent boys They never know it Because you never show it You always get your way well, that tells a lot, doesn't it. Pertinent lines: "Make a new cult every day to suit your affairs" - Well what else is this list? "You're a honey" - Self evident "with a following of innocent boys" - ahem.... "You always get your way" - Mothers _always_ get their way. well, that's my theory. and I'm sticking with it. erm... what else has been happening? oh... the "Jenny Thing".... well, my anonymous crushes with (maybe) be glad to know that I'm still Young, Free and Single (well, single, anyway) as it didn't exactly work out as I had planned. I took all your advice to heart, was attentive, but not pushy and generally as charming as can be (I'm good at charming...) but she prefered the look of the 6'4" Shit-Brickhouse american footballer called "Chris" (nice looking, but dim) so. In a shocking display of vengeful bitterness, Calumn has demoted Jenny from "Light of my life, apple of my eye" status to "lowly worm-ridden tastless bitch" . It's childish and fickle, I know... but damnit if it doesn't make me feel better. Oh, the whole "in my CD" thing's great - it's a good indication of what people are listening to without having that (in my opinion) irritating ListList. BUT, that's not to say that you can't reccomend a good album now and again - like I'm about to... (did you see that coming?) SO, David Holmes' "Essential Mix." - Fan-bloody-tastic. why?, I hear you say, would anyone of taste and sophistication want to listen to a Radio 1 (so called) "Essential Mix"? Who wants to hear that much "bangin' techno-dance" in one sitting? Who could cope? Well, fear not, fey friends... for David Holmes shall surely rescue us from the dread Mix Hell of Dance. This is a fine (double!) album - It's got... Brigite Bardot "contact" ("connnntak") and, and, oh.. Marlena Shaw "California Soul".... oh, it's great. I think Select reviewed it and said (I'm paraphrasing here... ) "It's like a mix tape by your friend with the soul collection, and a massive 7" single fetish." .... or something like that. well, correct me if I'm wrong, but there are a few of those on this list.... Well, that's it. David Holmes' Essential Mix. A damn fine piece of plastic, and It'll fit nicely on one tape, for in-car-mucal-gubbins. There was something else, but I've forgotten it. oh, well... Loveandhugstoyouall cal In my CD player -Portishead "NYC live", TWATTYBUS, The Tartan Amoebas "Evolution", and Nine Inch Nails "Pretty Hate Machine" (hehe - quad changer) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Out of lurking to ask each of you to take a quiet moment of reflection on December 9th in honor of my 25th.

Sinister: Kissing with confidence

Hello "Cyberchums", Martin wrote: >While we're on the subject, can I implore you all to buy her album >'Touch 'Em With Love'? Can I implore you to do that as well. It is very good. I like Glen Campbell too, though that didn't stop me from being punched in the face by one of the Sea Urchins for suggesting his politics were a little dubious. I don't think I helped matters by calling him a "jumped-up little Bobby Gillespie wannabe shite", or laughing at him when he hit me. They're bloody hard, these janglepopsters. Christopher Alexander Leonard wrote: >I've been lacking pop direction since the departure of the duke. >Will someone please proclaim themselves the all new duke? I nominate....hmmm....let's see....can we have a lady duke? There's no earthly reason why the Duke has to be a man, as anyone whose seen the old one's picture will testify. How about Carmen? Lady Linda signed herself thus: >EEVL Project Officer >L.Kerr(a)hw.ac.uk Linda, be so kind as to tell us what evil projects you officiate, and how long have you been going to Noel Whitey's spelling classes? I should join seeing as though I've been spelling my lesbian lover John Warrander's name wrong for the past three years. Sad news - Saint Lucy has left the list, in a fit of pique at not getting any more crush votes after the recount, but she was impressed by all the mail she got. "My box has never seen so much activity", she said, contendedly. She thanks her admirers, particularly "Electric sex warrior" and "Ihaveahugepenis", and would like to point out that she does not live in Govan. Anyway, she's off to star with La Cicciolina in "Flasher John - the movie".
