In a message dated 98-11-19 04:53:46 EST, you write: > > Mathis is great, Linda said he had an affair > with rock hudson. My mum sighs when anyone mentions rock hudson, and > says "what a waste", then I kind of boke. I used to work with a sweet, dumb woman named Giuseppina -- she was in her 50's and loved Rock Hudson to distraction. "What a MAN!" she'd say with a huge lustful sigh. My friend's mother used to say, "Look Josie, I went to school in the Village and used to see him in the bars. Give it up, you aren't his type." Josie would put her hands on her hips and say, "Shut your dirty mouth, Jean. Don't be filthy. He is NOT." Jean would go off and mumble, "You simple sonofabitch." I was kind of glad Josie never lived to see her dreams of Rock dashed. I also heard a rumor of Mathis and small animals. I really don't like to think about that. Just a tad too... let's think of Rock in his perfectly pressed PJ's. Thank you. > > "singing ladybird, ladybird what is your wish > your wish is not granted unless it's a fish > your wish is not granted unless it's a dish > a fish on a dish is that what you wish" > -Robin Williamson 1968 > ohmigosh -- it's like 5 in the morning here and this makes me want to go down to the basement and fish out the vinyl.... scary to have a flashback before sunrise. No, wait, I have a cd filed here, right next to Jefferson Airplane.. .but this Wee Tam is not as good as Hangman's Beautiful Daughter is it? I think I'll start a commune. In spring -- it's getting too damn cold here now. You can come and pitch a tent in the back yard, live amongst the mulberry bushes and dress in flow-y multicolored scarves and dance around in the moonlight with a mandolin -- all the snakes will come out of the hedges and teach you songs... wearing tiny little garlands of flowers. The canada geese will come up the hill and follow you around. Your wee Struan can harmonize in his high piping voice, caused I suspect by silver pants that are just a bit too tight. Peter Miller will chase the kingfisher in his basque beret and partisan shirt, while the Duke pontificates in flowing robes and a bishop's mitre. Miss Honey can serve tea and cakes in an apron and Linda will tend the garden with her green thumb and patience. The NY Sinisterines will come in a gypsy goat cart. Jonny will teach us the secrets of making mead. Holly will weave and sew bright costumes for all. Can we get a minotaur? This should finish me off with the neighbors once and for all. I can see there are definitely reasons to stay in bed later than this. Hamster smut and communes before sunrise... I'm going back to the business I got up for. The cd is over. I'm putting something less colorful on now. Forgive my rambling.

Sinister: Acid House
by John Johnston 19 Nov '98

19 Nov '98

Friends My flatmate went to see the Acid House last night because he's a pal of one of the actors in it who I knew at Uni. Turns out Slow Graffiti is his song! When the music is playing in the film it's accompanying pictures of Kev. He's lovely - couldn't happen to a nicer guy!

Sinister: the fabulous but true, story of real life smut, posted for th e first time ever........
by rebelstrange＠ldd.net 19 Nov '98

19 Nov '98

A fascinating story: i must have forgotten to tell it here when i was going over the DC tales. its' a bit of ready-made smut for y'all to relish and mull over. Little Ink Movie: Jess and Lesley Jo, a bit hungry, shvering slightly, but giddy with delight, are sitting on a low platform in the back of the Black Cat Club. Jo is wistfully eyeing the pixy-licious Isobel, who dances lightly on the other side of the room and relaxes by the pool table talking to stevie and stuart david, and occasionally seems to glance in the girls' general direction. But our Jo is too cowardly to walk over and make a fool of herself, despite the urgings of her friend, so to break the tension, she suggests, "I wonder where the restroom is in here." "I dont' know, lets' go ask the guy at the bar", Jess replies. they get up and traipse over, poor Jo hoping that someone will notice how casually and yet, shyly, delicately, they make their way across the dark room. somewhere in the background, people bang on drums and haul cases across the floor. "Excuse me," says Jess to the bar man, "can you tell us where the restrooom is?" "it's the band's only,' says the young man, "go down those stairs and to the right." "thanks" say the girls and head fo rthe stairs with trepidation. Down the passageway and into the cavernous, undecorative cement basement backstage area, they espy a door to the right and click the light on. "Eww.' says Jess. "Creepy." says Jo. there is one plain porcelain toilet, a little old sink with soem paper towels and a soap dispenser, and a tiny shower stall at the other end of the bare, unremarkable room. In the shower, some shampoo, soap, and a container of some sort of shaving cream. "that must be their stuff" say the curious girls. "if this is the only bathroom..." after washing their hands, they look with awe upon the bare-bulbed room. "I wonder how many cool people have used this, it should be in a museum." says Jo. "'Barbara Manning peed here', haha." adds Jess, refraining from mentioning the unspoken question on both their minds........... <add your own personal smut content here> SMO (what does it mean ?) wrote: >>Excuse my ignorance, but who is Monica Queen? The girl who ruined a lovely Belle and Sebastian's song. SAEG escossia(a)electus.com. ok i have to admit at first the ms queen's voice freaked me out a bit, but on the other hand, Jane was the song that really seized me by the um, neurons, shook me like a t-rex and dug its teeth into my soul, thus sealing my destiny and intertwining it with this lovely collective of ragtag musicians. so i will have to step up and defend the vocal turn, as i really do like it the more i hear it and i feel it suits the particular song well. notice there are some B&s songs that could be categorized as fairly 'twee" (i.e. "mary Jo") but some that have that romping rough and tough but soft-edged, velvety 60's texture, i.e. jane. and many textures inbetween. they are a fine band i must say. although i would have to admit to my liking, i agree with the bit in the Magnet article that calls stevie's songs on Wonky Lap 'mawkish' or 'schmaltzy' one of those/ and spaceboy dream being rather an intrusion. although i kind of like spaceboy dream in its own quirky little (albeit b-side) manner. it has that funky thing going on that is entertaining. But i would prefer a sloppy take of 'Expectations" over the slickest Spaceboy, any day. it's just where my emotional nerve gets hit. digression............ , i would very much like to thank lesley for those wonderful photos of the d.c. show. i very muched like the rest of the home page, too. give me your address and i'll send you some cookies. bye to all, carl, who was born on january 31, 1977. ...Awww..thanks carl!! and me, I was born on january 12 1977...making me only a matter of weeks older than thou! if and when you read this, I like oatmeal cookies. Good idea, nanette.......and i appreciated your post the other day, it was either the one about cyberfriends, or another one i can't remember, i just remembered it was really good....... I have a friend who slagged me for talking online and having a computer. she said "well at least i go out and meet REAL people in person, blah blah..." You know what, she doesn't either. She's a misanthropist who never goes out, has no friends, does nothing, even though she lives in a big university town, she sleeps all day, and let me tell you, she has even less of a social life than me, which is unexplainably sad,( like saying "You're just a TAD bit more evil than Hitler"). Just because someone has email friends and talks online doesnt' make them automatically a shut-in with no life. I find it interesting to correspond in words, on paper as well as on screen, i have made my dearest friends through writing and emails and sharing of ideas. it's just one more way of making human connections in the world. <end rant> Ok, here are the mad libs so far.....i would post all of them, but i dont' want to clog up the list too much! so i picked the 2 that made me laugh the hardest. and later i might post a conglomerate one, using words from all the entrants, all the choicest words.....hmm? the first one is from chris wirth and the next is from jim schmidt. good job, and keep up the smut, fellas......(though the luscious PhotoJeni added a little smut of her own....i wasnt' sure if i could legally post that one.....) Twilight in the mountains just outside Chris's ass: The stench of dishwashing soap is in the air, emanating from hordes of teenage poopyheads that have just been felled in waves. Stuart "Whimsical Weasel" Murdoch grinds upon the panicky carnage, throws down his pointed stick and falls to his knees, crying out to Mammon in heaven. "Damn You, Tootsies of Sex!!!" he wails. filled with lust by the destruction he has wrought, he falls on his toaster oven and ends it all.

Filled with luscious envy by the destruction he has wrought, he falls on his juicer and ends it all. maybe i should make it a series, and post more later. or maybe im just boring you all wtih my silly games.....er thanks for joining in! it was fun. i'll work on that conglomerate version for tomorrow.... working on my Velvet Isobel, lesley Jo +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Seventies Honey
by Linda Kerr 19 Nov '98

19 Nov '98

Dear chaps Peter Miller wrote: >"Tigermilk" is Ice Breaker blue. Who remembers them? They were >better than Spangles. I hope I've got the name right. Linda will >know, she has an elephant's memory where the greatest decade in >human history is concerned. Yes indeed, Ice Breakers were a seventies landmark in confectionary. Glam choc. They came out about the same time as Old Jamaica, and were on the top row in the sweet shop, near the till. Milky chocolate shot through with shards of bluey-green "magic stuff" that cut your lips, in a shiny glam wrapper. They represented the world of grown-up spending capacity, and cost 18p. I still feel it is bad to buy them, being the equivalent of over 3 Cadbury's Animal Bars. The seventies were my formative years and there is nothing I can do about it, sigh, although I do prefer them as seen through Peter's retrospective gaze. Being born in 1965, I went to school in 1970, and expected that everything would go in fives and tens from then on, until I was 35 in the year 2000. Decimalisation held no fears for me - it is how the world was meant to be. Brier wrote >Why do people keep calling Honey a "mrs."? He's Paul, a boy, non? >I've been here a while but am still rather confused re: gender. >Patriarch or matriarch? Enquiring minds want to know. But >regardless, please heed his/her/its wisdom-filled posts. Having lived with our gallant leader for twelve years, I spill the beans that Miss Honey runs a high-class whorehouse in New Orleans, and administers strict discipline on the sinister list just to keep her hand in. The name Paul is used occasionally for tax purposes. No, seriously, Miss Honey, is a beautiful princess who got sleeping sickness when kissed by an evil blonde prince who then went and married a fucking vicar and now sends us a parish circular every Christmas.

Sinister: don't look at the carpet.
by Chris Leonard 19 Nov '98

19 Nov '98

Good Morning, Thank you very much to my six lusty admirers, Stuart is there any chance of a gender breakdown of this tally? I think I'll grow my flick back today, and stock up on baby oil and poppers just in case. Hold on a minute, what's this: David Moore astrally projected: >But I am the archer >the lover of laughter >and mine is the arrowed flight. >I am the archer >and my eyes yearn after >the unsullied sight. > >Robin Williamson, The Eyes Of Fate, 1967 At last! you're a quiet one....your all secret string band fans really, aren't you? I'll quote him the following year, so you can all see how his lyric writing blossomed. Last night I dreamed about Slow Graffiti for the third night in a row. This time it started really really high, and when he'd finished singing it struan said "thank you very much" like that squeaky wee lassie out of B*Witched, who had a number one with they're cover of the rollercoaster ride. I asked dream struan how he sings so high and he said "don't tell anyone, when I want to hit the high notes I lead the weasel to the tool". Again, i awoke proud and confused. I've been lacking pop direction since the departure of the duke. Will someone please proclaim themselves the all new duke? We could have auditions, like for Stars in their Eyes. Ah, I heard "When a child is born" in three different shops yesterday, splendid tune. black, white, yellow....no-one knows. Mathis is great, Linda said he had an affair with rock hudson. My mum sighs when anyone mentions rock hudson, and says "what a waste", then I kind of boke. I'm off to save this empire, Rod Begbie "singing ladybird, ladybird what is your wish your wish is not granted unless it's a fish your wish is not granted unless it's a dish a fish on a dish is that what you wish" -Robin Williamson 1968 +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Re: EP's For Sale
by Brier Random 19 Nov '98

19 Nov '98

Hi Cute Bunnies; My local CeeDee shop has the Lazy Line Painter Jane and 3..6..9..Seconds EPs for sale at $9.99 each. I don't know if they're hard to find elsewhere, but if anyone wants them I'll pick 'em up for ya, providing you'll pay me $20 each for them (just kidding, David). Let me know. JJ "Kid Dy-no-mite" sweetly said: >Not everyone CAN watch MTV. I'm not going to get to see this video, That's like saying "I don't have a CD player, so I HAFTA bootleg the albums onto mp3." If you don't have the tools, it's not their fault, ya know? >I believe songs are also copyrighted, so why overlook cassette tape >recordings of stuff? You can't turn a blind eye to one and not >the other. They can and they HAVE, for now, and I think we're incredibly lucky that they do. But if we misbehave, then maybe they'll stop being so kind about it. Again, we are very lucky that they knowingly allow widespread boots of something like Tigermilk. True, it would be hard to enforce, but the fact that they allow (encourage?) it is nice. Thank you, Jeepster. (That still doesn't get you off the hook from someday re-releasing the damn thing, though!) P.S. I would give my left nut if someone would make me a Felt tape; they're impossible to find stateside.
