Sinister: Cyberfriends ain't no friends of mine
by Mick McMick 18 Nov '98

18 Nov '98

Hullo List, I've been a bit busy lately making crappy lithographs and organizing a portfolio and such things. So I caught up on my mail today, and I found something that disturbed me to no end... I'm going to attempt to reference the tempestuous Miss Carmen's message without discussing the list content part of it. and so she writes.... > And who needs virtual cyber friends > anyway? If you can't make friends with living, breathing people in > the flesh, then you have problems. I enjoy communicating with fellow > B&S fans, but I don't think a good, meaningful friendship could > possibly be made through typing simple words. I can't believe this statement is coming from someone who is less than 80 years old. I've been on internet-like types of communications for about 6 years now, and the stigma associated with those who meet friends and (gasp) lovers by means other than the traditional is unbelieveable, as I'm sure you will all realize from reading posts like this. The internet is a new thing, and so people will naturally be afraid or disdainful of its effects on society, but knowing this doesn't make statements like these seem any less judgemental or hurtful. First of all, there is a stigma attached that people who make friends through the internet can't make friends off of it. And I suppose that there may be some people like that, but for the most part it's just not true. I wouldn't call myself a popular guy, but I think I'm pretty personable off the internet, and I have friends off of it. In certain cases I have become very good friends with people I met by normal means who have friends they met through the internet. This didn't mean that they were socially misshapen, and they were in all cases quite nice friends. And another thing, I've kept in touch with friends that I met off the internet with the internet, once we moved away from one another, and I can tell you that it doesn't diminish our friendships in any way. And if you lot think people rudely make generalizations about those with "virtual cyberfriends" nowadays, you should have been around 6 years ago. At least now there are a lot of us, so it doesn't seem so strange to most. I recall a time when all drugs & youth problems seemed attributed to internet-using ravers. Hah. Argh, and that statement about making good, meaningful friends, oh that just had me up in arms. Look, more than one member of Belle & Sebastian have met people who were more than friends by writing "simple words," to them, and you should buy that Looper single and listen to it until you realize how natural a thing this is. To me Belle & Sebastian seems a band that cherishes the written word, and I think you're completely wrong about making friends without seeing them or hearing their voice. In fact, I believe that instead of those with cyberfriends being somehow socially inept in some way, that it is really the other way 'round. People like Carmen are, in my opinion, the only ones who are actually socially inept, because they are incapable of meeting friends outside of the traditional realm. I feel very sorry for you, Carmen, that your view of the world is so close-set that you deny yourself the friendship of so many. For my part, I feel that many of the friends I made through the internet are as good of friends as the ones I met off of it, and sometimes better. I hope my expressing these opinions doesn't offend anyone, but being stigmatized makes me feisty. I am now pausing to see if I should really send this, but I still feel like I'm not making a huge mistake. Right, on to the rest of the message... *steps down from his soapbox* I did manage to meet someone outside of the internet who had heard of B&S last night. I was printing some things, when the fellow next to me put Arab Strap in the stereo (the band, not the album). He apparently doesn't like B&S after a couple listens of TWITCHYBATS, but I recommended that he give them more of a chance, as I did, and look where it got me. I was also very impressed today with Corporea's lovely interpretation of "Me & the Major." I had considered some of the themes, but I never heard it put so eloquently. *applauds* Also notable was Nanettee's (is that like a Manatee? =) eloquent defense (or defence) of "virtual cyberfriends." Hehe, just that phrase is really amusing to me. Like some kind of 90's buzzword. Well, this post has gotten long enough. And I'm expecting my friend Marge to call me soon, and we're going for coffee, and SHE DOESN'T EVEN USE THE INTERNET!! OH MY GOD!!!

Sinister: Nutt'n' Hunny...
by Burt Reynolds 18 Nov '98

18 Nov '98

Honey does write funny emails. Here's my favorite which I have saved and cherished. Here it is for the rest of the class... Cheers, Rachael (spittin' and grinnin') -------------------------------- As everyone knows, I actually write all the emails to this list myself, and people like Timothy Pookins are actually figments of my vivid honey sexual imagination. So just to help you all out, as some of you will be a bit tired after the gigs, I've done all the mails for early September early so you don't have to rush off and read them then. September 6th: "I've just got a copy of The Boy With The Wonky Lap from an old man with sick on his coat at Kings Cross, it's WONDERFUL, I cried all the way home and then ate a whole packet of Maltesers in one sitting, and then I saw a sparrow -- squiffytoes XXX" September 7th: "Yaaaaay Ive got my copy, I'm in heaven, I love Stuart, I'm going to write him a big thankyou note and send him a list of all our list songs on the list that I've listed, he'll really like that, won't he? P.S I especially like the glockenspiel on Seymour Stain -- fancypants" "I've been banging on the counter at HMV for 3 hours, telling them I've got to have a copy of Wonky Lap and then I found I'd only brought 23p with me it's not FAIR, fascists, why does everyone hate me, can someone do me a tape please, as swaps I can offer a complete set of Kajagoogoo bootlegs from the fabulous "Eat More Cheese" tour of 1983. -- MrKJ" "It's not a glockenspiel you idiot, we've all been listening to it for 6 months now, what's the big deal, it's a xylophone, I wish people would check things out before they post -- Timothy Tantric Tantrum" "Well it sounds like a glockenspiel to me... sorry I just thought, sorry sorry... -- fancypants" September 8th: "Whoooo I've just bought TBWTWL on CD, vinyl and etch-a-sketch format, it's GREATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT, and I'm sure I saw Mick Cooke in Habitat in Leicester, he had the false nose and everything P.S. I haven't read the digests yet, I'm too excited, but my favourite track is the one with the glockenspiel -- CakeFace" "Isn't delaying the release of the LP in the US a day so that the UK can get ahead just typical of a massive conglomerate like Jeepster, oh well I have the LP now, but I don't think it's as good as the demo tape I've had all along, recorded in a cellar in Austria, I just don't think this LP anything like as good, I'm sorry I know it's against the spirit of this list but I have to say it, corporations suck, printed word destroys, rage kill smash, oh shit my toast is burning -- monsterX" "God I'm leaving this list, it's complete nails, people just don't care anymore, it's a xylophone, what happened to the Dunkirk spirit, we've all been listening to Wonky Lap since 1982 when we met Chris at the Ideal Home Exhibition and he gave us a tape, what's the big deal anyway -- Timothy" "Wonky is FAB I love the cover, where did they get that picture of Leonard Rossiter from, I like tracks 8,6,2,1,5,6,8,3,8,7 and 8 best, does anyone think the line about herring in Smutty Dream #2 is a bit weak? -- wishingwell XoX" September 9th: "How dare you slag off the LP, so-called fan wishing so-called well, I think it's ALL great, I sent you a tape of Tigermilk and everything, and you never gave me money back for the stamp, well I think the new LP is fantastic it ROCKS in spite of what others are saying -- BigPea" "Well I agree with wishingwell, and can I say, ACTUALLY, that I don't think, ACTUALLY, that the new LP is as good as everyone is saying, god you're all so immature, I KNEW it wouldn't be, I KNEW you wouldn't admit it, I KNEW it all but I didn't want to post and show off -- acrossmybody" "HI! I'VE JUST JOINED THE EMAILING LIST BECAUSE I BOUGHT THE BOY WITH THE WONKY LAP. IT'S REALLY GREAT CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF BILL AND SEBASTIAN HAVE DONE ANYTHING ELSE, WASN'T IT A CARTOON, WHEN ARE THEY TOURING, WHO IS STUART, HOW DO I UNSUBSCRIBE -- CLEMENCE" September 10th: "I'd look in the archives but I'm too pissed, so could someone tell me what the instrument is on Seymour Stain, I'm sure it's a glockenspiel -- CoOol" "UNSUBSCRIBE CLEMENCE" "It's a fucking xylophone, a x-y-l-o-p-h-o-n-e, I knew you'd all make a fuss over this LP, it's not that great, I'd say a big disappointment actually although I didn't want to say it before, I agree with monsterX, I knew loads of new people would join this list and wreck it. -- Timothy" "UNSUBSCROBE SINISTER" "UNSUBSCRIBE SINISTER" "Piss off Wonky Lap is great, I like the song about herring best -- ppp" September 11th "I hate this list, I'm leaving, you're all so ignorant -- Timothy" "I hate this list, I'm leaving, you're all so pompous -- fancypants" "LEAVE SINISTER CLEMENCE QUIT UNSUBSCRIBE ALL ^C" ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Ink Polaroid #2: This is me, photo jeni, sitting on a big fluffy chair, in my black combats and navey blue pullover-v neck sweater. I'm sunk into this chair because it's soooo fluffy and soft and lovely.......I'm holding my cup of tea, (In my Mick Cooke, B&S mug!) and a piece of shortbread....the expression on my face is one of confusion, but I look quite enthralled (sp?) at the same time. It looks as though i may be watching "Jerry Springer" or some other obnoxious show on the tv.....but if you look at the other side of this photo, you'll see some listees arguing and your really not sure why they are doing it publicly, but I keep on watching, sipping my tea, and nibbleing on my biscut............

Hey hey! It took something like this for someone to mention Prolapse again? Eeeky poo. Pretties, wuvzaroonees all around. Look what you've got me doing now. Pretty soon I'll sprout blue fur. Personally I'm torn. I'd love to be able to stay on topic but haven't. To whomever wanted to know what "all the others did drugs, they're taking it out on us" really means.... well.... I can't say, obviously, FOR SURE but it's like when you join the military it's suddenly very very much "us and them"... patriots are made, not born; between the fact that you've chosen a different lifestyle (for whatever reason) and people, even ones who've known you forever, stereotyping you like crazy, you retreat and become very suspicious/jealous of all your former friends who can still lead really free lives and do drugs and not strive to be really successful. Especially if you're someone who used to be cool a long time ago ("Roxy in '72") but have long forfeited your claim (or right, really) to being a basically leftist, anarchist, individualistic, free spirit and no one will let you think you still can be the same. I know. The ghost of hippie (and punk, too) dies hard. Thank God. Granted, though, lots of military types are the biggest assholes and wifebeaters this side of the Euphrates. ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: ugly posts.

"Why is this? I end up not even reading most of them because I know that if one is about Belle and Sebastian, it's about how Stuart Murdoch and Isobel might be a couple-who cares? I don't think either of them enjoy your assumptions of their relationship. Try keeping on the topic, please." -CARMEN just for the record, this didn't sound like a very nice post. and everyone here is supposed to be friends, right? we know you were just stating your opinion, but your opinion sounded much like a scold. everyone seems pretty happy with the way things are moving along and not that you should choose another list, but i have to say that i do agree wholeheartedly with what alexandra said when she stated that "Belle and Sebastian and the people behind it and the music that inspired them and the music that inspires us to share dreams and stories of buses and little things like that that bring people from numerous countries together, relating and possibly getting a more real picture of the world beyond MTV, BBC or CBC" it's the glue that sticks the people together and keeps them grooving. "I was just giving my opinion and all I get in return are snotty little girls replying who think I don't have a right to share my own opinion. Would you like it if I sent all of my trash to you?" -CARMEN Now Carmen, it sounds to me like you got all up in arms for nothing when someone was just explaining a reason for something. And your post sounds rather threatening, not that sending someone your trashed posts is very threatening, but the tone you took could have been put in a better way to make people understand where you were coming from instead of name-calling and stamping your feet. "What name calling is here? Do you want my trash?"-CARMEN sometimes you just have to let a subject drop. No one needs to be threatened especially not in a creepy way. "I'm sorry if I missed anyone's complaints about the letter I sent, which is below this one. If you want to criticise me or, as only one person has done so far, praise me, please do so. Thank Y'all for Your Time, ..CARMEN..." carrying on like this makes no sense whatsoever. "Ink Polaroid; You can see two girls standing in a small crowd of kids. The girls have scowls on their faces and are clearly squaring up for a fight, although they are still at the pushing stage. The kids around them are clapping their hands and shouting "Fight! Fight! Fight!...". In the background, just over to the right, you can see the kids who stayed by the sandbox, the quiet ones looking at the crowd with fear whilst the older kids are trying to ignore it. Some of them have noticed Mrs. Honey striding over, and she is not happy..." Michael, this is a sad ink polaroid... it shouldn't take honey to break something like this up... a sad sad bunny. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
