Sinister: a quote to add to the ramblings (indeed)
by gateau du wizz 17 Nov '98

17 Nov '98

dawhlings - this morning i got to work and from my tenth floor window it looked as if i was above all the clouds....the sun was shining over the fluffiness and i felt like i could be on a plane on my way to san francisco. realising that 'twas only HUGE amounts of fog playing tricks with my noggin, the flowers promptly fell from my hair and i was back in london watching the fog lift and the horrible millennium dome come into view. "arms of sex"? give it up people. stuart murdoch is an armchair of lyrical pleasure, with lumbar adjustment and velour-covered pillows. jessica is officially my list crush - not the foxinasnow jessica but the bissxo one. and here's why: "my life, however, is totally devoid of any sort of sexual anything, thanks to ahren (crushboy) getting back with his girlfriend "for the sex". what a pig. and why, may i ask, was i interested in him? it wasn't for his mensa membership, i'll tell you that much. so my attention has turned to a lovely boy at my school who looks suspiciously like steve malkmus. his name is tyler, so be watching for any tyler news. as of today, he doesn't even know i exist. but don't worry, i'll change that." i love the *drama* of it all. dawhlings i want to learn how to fly (HIGH!). i feel jessica is exploring the same avenues as myself....oh fruitless wonder this ahren tree turned out to be, a flightless bird, a drowning fish. jessica it has come to pass that i, lady penelope / wizzcake / padraic am flogging a dead horse also. dawhling - i feel your ache. the boy(s) done wrong again. i wish you wonderful days of obsess. compuls. beahav. with the new crushee of choice. i have faith that you will see this tyler chap and he will be mesmerised with your witty and charming mots des fleurs. i went to ireland last weekend and, despite having received an invitation from one DCU student, have still to meet any dublin listees. perhaps we should organise a christmas time meet up. the pastels are playing a show at the garage in london....in december. are any of you fine london listees thinking of going along? oh, and CAT POWER had me feline groovy dawhlings last thursday. "i love you chan" is what i said. she smiled and gigged like a duck-billed platypus. oh she is adorable. ooooh. b&s content: how can i get my cash back from the philadelphia debacle? i bought my ticket from the venue on the night and went back to london before the refund situation was sorted out....if any of you have any suggestions please let me know. -lady penelope, sans tiara, sans a crush of his own. ------------------------------------------------------- "and now the session's over and it's time to go, am i just another shot in your portfolio?" ------------------------------------------------------- _________________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: I saw your arms in a dream...
by Robin Stout 17 Nov '98

17 Nov '98

So, it turns out that I've met a listee without even realising it. Arantxa, you are lovely, and I agree that maybe everyone on the list is simply a really nice person. Am I too late to announce my list crush? Anyway, maybe it's to do with the confusion of the above events, but I had my first B&S dream last night, which was very strange. I shall relate... In my dream I was lying in bed, all cosy and warm, when I felt someone shaking me. I looked up and there was Stuart, with massive, monster arms, shaking me and yelling "wake up! wake up!". "No", I said, "I have to sleep", but still he shook and his arms got bigger and bigger. These weren't arms of sex, these were scary arms. Eventually, after all that shaking, I woke up. What a strange dream. More of a B&S nightmare really. I'd like to say that when I woke up, my mum was shaking me saying "wake up! wake up! you'll be late for school!" but it wouldn't be true. In fact I just lay there feeling slightly bemused.

Sinister: IT'S YOU!
by Aranzazu Sanz-Garcia 17 Nov '98

17 Nov '98

HELLO!(-> I am shouting, by the way) I have met a listee for first time ...though none of us were wearing a B&S T Shirt, or met to go to a gig together.It was totally matter of factly, and I thought he was a really nice guy, maybe everybody in the list is ,as someone suggested, and this is just a sample.And we were not even introduced , really rare when meeting Brits for first time (they never introduce themselves, they never speak without being introduced by someone else->summing up my experience with them and as advice to Americans coming here or even continentals!) But Robin did .B! Listees are different! Be kind, be smart, be dainty,be Sinisterine!

Sinister: for stephan's attention
by Denise Power 17 Nov '98

17 Nov '98

I seem to be a little confused. Stephan offered to give tigermilk to those who contributed to charity. Then Alix said she'd give it to me when I advertised my insatiable desire to possess a copy. Then I thought Alix was stephan. Then stephan wrote offering Tigermilk. Then I wrote saying no , I'm getting it off someone else. And contributing to their charity - the Hondoran kids fund. But the Hondoran kids fund is Stephan's charity. So what is going on ? +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: he swallowed his pride and puckered his lips..
by Chris Leonard 17 Nov '98

17 Nov '98

...hello, it's Cro-Magnon Chris. Sorry for not being the most communicative of chums recently, but I've been busy stalking Sarah Wheeler. Sarah you look particularly radiant this morning. I'm watching you right now. So, where to start. The incomparably generous Miss Julia bought me the latest Robin Williamson release yesterday out of sweetness, and my large headed idol has not let me down. It's got his lovely wife and young daughter singing on it too, both of whom sport a beard and cravat just like Robin. There's a really good tune on it about his dog who is the finest and fastest greyhound in the world. But one day as the dog ran round and round and round and round and round and round the garden it ran right over a scythe which someone left amongst the long grass and the nettles. The poor dog was split right down the middle, in two halves like a baguette. But Robin thought quickly and sprinkled white vinegar over the two halves of the dog and tied it back together using shreds of a dish towel. The dog was as good as new, apart from one thing. Robin had put the two halves of the dog the wrong way round, so now it could bark at both ends. Top! It's an old song really I think, just given a bit of mystical reworking. put your foot on da muthafuckin brake homeboy. That's for Megan. Oh and look, another competition too, from Mediterranean beauty charlotte hall! It's a bit of a mind number that, like when I think of what came before God. Grr, I want a go on that brain expander from Forbidden Planet, and a Furby for Christmas. It's a truly frosty morning, colder than a witches tit. Somewhere in this city i can imagine our little belle and sebastian chums all huddled up in a bed made for eight. With paddington bear on the bedspread. Who's turn is it to make breakfast for everyone this morning? Well it's Tuesday so it's martin and murdochs turn. But sarah wont get out of the bed cos it's too damn cold, and struan wont because he's got his morning stiffy. So I guess they'll have to stay there all day, or until one of them has to go for a wee-wee. That is if they haven't been wee-weeing in micks trumpet all night. god help me. joey d +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: ha! ha! ha!
by Corpora Arenacea 17 Nov '98

17 Nov '98

The other reason that Mx. Mitchell forgot to reason for lists dying is the music simply petering out. See the Billy Bragg list for details, and they had more to write about, I thought, than anyone. The myth of trust wasn't the only thing outlived, eh? My friend Khanh just accosted me and told me he saw one of Belle and Sebastian's videos late last night: "That shit must be pretty popular, eh?" You know your anglophilia is out of control when you realize you've spent two lunches' worth of money on a double-A sided single of crowd noise following a Creation Records band concert. I just came back from a movie at an empty theater in the ghetto: "Pleasantville". The preview ( I only caught one) was for a movie all about the vagaries of four-dimensional internet romance starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. I'm worried.... looks like a movie that could single-handedly wreck the market for glare-free Romeos like myself. These are the last days of list crushes, frenz. I'm going to be in England at the end of the year.... because I can get there for free. I really, really don't know anything of where to go and who to see.... I hate to seem like a mail-order bride but, um, is there anyone there with a few days off that would want a sidekick? I could be your Kato Kaelin. Oh.... p.s. Congratulations Sarah. I'll be on the lookout for yoo-hoo. Heh. *scritch scritch* ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: my favourite vegetables
by Blissxo＠aol.com 17 Nov '98

17 Nov '98

it's a quote, intended to add authority to my ramblings: > ...being carried by > dozens of twee, anemic indie types who couldn't possibly support the weight > of a little tweety bird. well, i was amused. then again, i think i need > more sleep. > > actually, i'm neither anemic nor twee. but oh well, one must dream. i > must seriously recommend parappa to everyone wiht a play station. you'll > be down with my posse. okay, hello again. it's very close to snowing here in toronto. which is too bad, i already had my outfit picked out for tomorrow and the proper execution would involve open-toed platform shoes. poo, i was hoping to squeeze in a few more bare-toe days this year. anyone see buffy tonight? mmm, david boreanaz with no shirt on...mmm....i can't seem to stop drooling, although i'd better because water + computers don't mix well. this television nowadays, can't watch anything without running bang on into sexual tension. my life, however, is totally devoid of any sort of sexual anything, thanks to ahren (crushboy) getting back with his girlfriend "for the sex". what a pig. and why, may i ask, was i interested in him? it wasn't for his mensa membership, i'll tell you that much. so my attention has turned to a lovely boy at my school who looks suspiciously like steve malkmus. his name is tyler, so be watching for any tyler news. as of today, he doesn't even know i exist. but don't worry, i'll change that. there is a movie being filmed at my school, for which a bunch of my friends are extras (not me, of course; on the day of the cattle call, i had to work). it's starring edward furlong (who is apparently quite rude) and is called "detroit rock city". it's about a group of friends trying to get to a kiss concert in the seventies. the school has been transformed into robert f. kennedy highschool - the school signs have all been changed, the cafeteria and lockers have been painted, and tomorrow at 6am the drag racing will commence in the school parking lot. so i will be letting you sinisterines know when shooting wraps, and when the movie will be released. i expect you will all go see it in the spirit that "any friend of jessica's is a friend of mine", and will listen eagerly to me as i point out my friends walking by as extras in afro wigs, polyester turtlenecks, and tight white pants and tennis jackets. it's full of some bad style. i am anemic, you know. it involves me having to take vitamins with lots of iron in them, and generally being less perky and more tired than the rest of you. a drag, yes, but not nearly so bad as when i was little and had to take liquid iron every day. i suppose i also am a bit twee (i live in cardigans all year round, own too many pairs of argyle socks, wear glasses which automatically places me in one category or another), so i guess i should be standing up for myself and other anemic, twee types and burying these horrid "too weak to lift a tweety bird" stereotypes. i'll have you know that i once ate a bowl of pasta that was as big as my head. which builds strong bones and muscles. which must mean that i am strong. i just translated the whole prologue to "the canterbury tales", from ye olde english to modern english. forgive me for this noodling, but when aprille with his shoures soot hath perced.....i'm thanking my lucky stars that i'm not ever going to be stuck translating the whole 17,000 lines of the sillly poem. it's full of a bunch of crazies: a corrupt monk, a slutty nun...and let's not even talk about the friar. i love you most of all, jessicaxo ps. veggie content: zucchini and corn. and broccoli, but only if it's on pizza. pps. b+s content: i shall have a good b+s dream tonight so i can tell you all about it tomorrow. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Q=Is It Wicked NOt to Love Isobel?A=of course, but it leaves more over for me!
by rebelstrange＠ldd.net 17 Nov '98

17 Nov '98

um, well, sure, i'll go out with all of you at once.........??? please dont 'take anything i say TOO seriously, as i've just been dealing with a rather hellish relationship(sic?) and i'm just eager for attention from anyone. with that said, AAAAAAAUGGGGGGGGHHHHH!!! hooray for wicked video, which exudes a sporty cuteness!! tho the one soul was right aabout how little isobel was in it(relatively) since she was the star of it, and oh how i love that song and her voice, and could she get any cuter???? I dont' think so!!!!!! it made me want to cry. i miss staring at Isobel, that was such a good hour for me. and even though stuart m was only in it for a few seconds, he looked so dramatic and precious, the expression on his face was poignant and heroic know what i mean? i loved the childlike wacky hijinx of the vid, and the bucolic countryside, and adorable Sarah hanging up in a big tree was just lovely. oh yeah, and kilts. BUT damn it mtv damn you all to hell! i missed taping the first verse because stupid v-j guy didnt' anounce when it came on, and in my rush i fumbled teh remote control and pushed pause instead of record, then was very bitter as i missed a lot of isobel and her striped shirt which also exudes a sporty cuteness. not to mention the hour and a half or so of relentless CRAP i had to sit through, and TWO interviews with people I greeted by shouting "Who are these dorkwads?!?" damn you, mtv, again. But bless you for playing belle. it will be taken into account by st. pete when you get there. Isobel has cute legs. IF they change the tigermilk cover, heads will roll, mark my words. on the cover subject, i think i like the covers best when they have girls on them, especially Jo, because she is just so delightful, i wish models looked like her, she is super lovely. I hate the cover of arab strap, just for the record. 3-6-9 is cute because its' young Stu, and it's silvery. Isobel deserves a cover shot. ishall be demanding it. they should have used the shot of her and the toy lion, as the album cover, taht would have been good....... (not like anyone would take my advice on these matters...) I will soon have a 3rd page of photos up, i have 5 more concert shots scanned in, it should be up within this evening as i write. much later this evening......along with one of the most beautiful photos you shall ever see in your born days. Now you cant' resist. run over to the Jeepster Officially Sanctionned Links*g* and head over to my page and let the tears start rolling....*sniff* it's so luvverly....! i was going to give a long speech to thank everyone for making it possible for me to be on the jeepster page as a photo site, but it would just take too long. so i thank everyone. the band, the list, my friends, myself, and whoever invented rock and roll. thank you academy. np: Lida husik, faith in space "This can opener is not just a kitchen appliance. treat it kindly, and it will be your loyal friend." lesley Jo +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
