Alexandra, Music therapy can do wonders for the mind weakened by heart-rendered mishaps, although sending your friend in the direction of abject depression is a weighty decision. B & S might do the trick but if you really want to make her cry 'till she can't cry anymore find a copy of The Magnetic Fields' "The Wayward Bus/Distant Plastic Trees". Stephen Merritt's wickedly amusing songs of loss and abandonment as filtered through the ethereal voice of Susan Anway. �Sample lyric: "Those days are gone / You and I were young those summer nights / You'll see the world / Diving for a girl you'll never find / And then we'll quietly grow old / The saddest story ever told" fare thee well emanuel Free, fast e-mail accessible anytime, anywhere http://www.imaginemail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Technology and I
by Jordi Trenzano Vilar 28 Nov '98

Technology is not a good friend of mine: "i have a problem. i think i have finally figured it out and it's quite puzzling me. sometimes i get digests that sseeem to be cut off short, they are shorter than usual and the sig file thingy at the end is not there. i couldnt' figure it out. today i realized that this happens usually when a message from Jordi is there.. they always end when they do, at jordi's signature. this is really disturbing. is there some sort of weird technical problem there? cos i dont' want to be missing things. well maybe someone can tell me if they have had problems with digests getting chopped" Well, I?m not an agent of the CIA who doesn?t want Lesley to get their messages, or maybe my computer works for them and I still don?t know it.... The fact is that I?m having some problems too. Has anyone post anything to the list during all this night ?...... It?s now 11:41 and I only have two messages, and Lesley?s complaining is the last one. Jordi.

Sinister: The duke minced my kitten
by WeeJay 28 Nov '98

28 Nov '98

Ah, back to normal... The return of the Duke (to quote a beach boys song I've had to listen to about a million times) - I never knew that he'd been gone (it wasn't me that was rude about him - I only said that he'd minced my kitten and filled Isobels' um, orifice with the resultant bloody sludge)..... Lots of americans filling their fat faces with every different kind of, er, turkey... lots of lovely lovely poems (I'm tempted to put one up myself but... nah!)... the premature return of the 'crush vote' for chrissakes (panic to scan in crap photo tomorrow anticipated) and aeron said: > ps- are there any closet metallers on the list? I'm afraid there are, as revealed by the top ten list craze that seized the list a while back which brought up the hairy subject of 'top 10 guitar solos.' Oooooh *shiver* enough of that already (although I don't mind the first sabbath album) I really don't think Keith deserved the Robin Asquith role... Keith's way too depraved. I suggest it goes to our own weejay. Yes, that'd be me then. I suggest we make the driving school one... that tasteful and subtle boy, brad, expurgated: > sons of showaddywaddy uh-oh not that again! I have a lot more to write, but it's well too late already and I really don't want to walk through the park in the dark, so I'll finish this off tomorrow.

Sinister: it's all part of my rock and roll fantasy...
by rebelstrange＠ldd.net 28 Nov '98

28 Nov '98

can anyone btw tell me who did that horrible 70's cock-rock song? i have a problem. i think i have finally figured it out and it's quite puzzling me. sometimes i get digests that sseeem to be cut off short, they are shorter than usual and the sig file thingy at the end is not there. i couldnt' figure it out. today i realized that this happens usually when a message from Jordi is there.. they always end when they do, at jordi's signature. this is really disturbing. is there some sort of weird technical problem there? cos i dont' want to be missing things. well maybe someone can tell me if they have had problems with digests getting chopped off? in other news. the person who proposed the ropeswing brain puzzler, i was disappointed that isobel and sarah didnt' snog when they were left alone. maybe we could change the rules a bit. that would certainly brighten up my day, er spice up my life a bit. and that's what the dirty dream is for me today. btw i liked the idea for the video about the windows and all that, it was good. add one of isobel and sarah and my day will be made, i can't speak for anyone else. *teehee* it would figure that i would be Crushed by such a conventional crush object as isobel. i think every silly boy wants to marry her. well at least i'm a girl, maybe that is slightly original. i've never had a dirty dream about isobel, just for the record, so my slate is clean. well not exactly. oh that sounded bad again. ThINGS I"M THANKFUL FOR (to celebrate this lousy holiday just passed) being inspired by beautiful music once again and feeling young again taking angry joy in the fact that my heart is being brutally broken a crushworthy lass such as isobel campbell to distract my thus-broken heart finding a PhotoJenny of my very own writing more poems partaking of the shiny apple sarah's christlike generosity amazing friends like jess who is like a sister to me who shared the most wonderful time of my life being able to study at stow any day i like granola bars getting friendly emails daily from kind and clever sods and feeling loved in my on-her-own life. Isobel's Arms of Sex (fooled ya didnt' i?) this is what i am thankful for this crappy holiday. goddess bless y'all. BRAD says i would make some crude isobel joke here about her spastic colon, but i choose not to. besides, what if she's reading all these things i'm writing about her...then i'll never get her in the sack ***************** ooh you, watch yer back cos i've got my vodun dolls in tow, and you know the only way you can become a Witch is to repeat "i am a witch" 3 times to yourself, and no one says nasty things about my Un-girlfriend like that. so expect instant karma to bite you in the arse within the week. the heavens will not stand for you mrere mortals to be defiling one of their angels. damn, i should have done this a long time ago...... lesley Jo and i'll never leave you a lone till you admit how strong i've grown and i'll tell you i'm not your bitch on loan i'm a witch, an ugly Hag, a Crone..... +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Possible re-airing of b&s on Much Music
by petula 27 Nov '98

27 Nov '98

Hello young Canadians, I meant to send this in sooner-- I caught our favourite VJ, Sook-Yin "i was a ritalin child" Lee on the other day, saying that they'd be showing a special on the Scottish music scene tomorrow (Saturday) at 4 p.m. EST. No specific mention of B&S, but I'd assume you'd have a pretty good chance of catching Isobel romping about with a big stuffed lion again. enjoy! elisabeth xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: wallpaper* b+s?

27 Nov '98

hihi, it was mentioned briefly the other day that there was a little b+s bit in an issue of wallpaper* magazine. i, being the nut that i am, read it religiously from cover to cover, and i'm sure i haven't seen anything in any issues about b+s (although hooray to them for recommending both tortoise and autechre). if anyone knows which issue this is in, could you just mail me privately? proof positive that b+s are among the truly stylish. truly, jessicaxo +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Back in the good old days......
by Steve Genge 27 Nov '98

27 Nov '98

It was all fields round here apparently. Now that Tag's comments, which I feel said everything that needed saying, look like turning into a frankly tedious new listees vs old listess debate I thought I stick my own big spoon in the soup & give it a stir. Now correct me if I'm wrong but I think the main point of Tag's post wasn't that the list was better in the "old" days because I would expect that if you looked back in the archives there was probably just as much posted then that had people pressing the delete key. It's just now the list is three or four times as big & so the number of postings has also gone up. I think what annoys many people, myself most definitely included, is the fact that despite Paul's repeated pleas people carry on: 1 - sending unsubscribe mails 2 - sending far too many postings per day 3 - think that 800 or so people are going to be interested/amused by something that if they stopped & thought before pressing send they wouldnt bother inflicting upon us all (I hope) It's very sad to say as this list means a hell of a lot to me for various reasons that I won't bore you with but recently the urge to stop myself feeling pissed off with it despite Paul's sterling efforts is proving very great. Whereas a bit of thought by people, old & new, could keep it going. steve "Pain and beauty, our constant bedfellows."

Sinister: select dec '98 issue
by GaoBest＠aol.com 27 Nov '98

27 Nov '98

hey kids i'm sure this was brought up - but as Whitesnake said, "here i go again" blah blah. anyway, you all know 'bout the Dec '98 Select issue which has an article regarding the press & promotion games involved with B&S, right? anyways, i found the article quite funny, i had never known that B&S use odd- styled pictures for promotion (ie, pics of their friends, pics of band members in disguise, etc) i just LOVE the fact that they generally refuse to do much press. If they were really supercool, they would never have let anyone know their names - they'd just use blatant fake alias names, or something like "vocalist" and "guitarist" and etc. oh well, maybe next time they'll get it right! :-) anyway, for those of you Yanks who don't want to shell out a lot of money for Select, i'd be happy to copy the article. it's quite good. just email me privately and let me know (you know, if you email to the list, then there's no chance in hell that i'll make you a copy, that kind of thing) :-) as everyone in this list loves to complain, there is an overabundance of mail sent to this list having nothing to do with B&S, and i don't want mr kitchen of nondistinction to send me or y'all another lame email regarding these things :-) happy reading! xox mike gaobest(a)aol.com ps - for thsoe of you who want to know, the Select also has an article of Alanis (she's the cover model) as well as an ace article on current Pete Bests (for Manics, Oasis, Bluetones, Cornershop, et al) and other stuff :-) plus it comes with a bonus CD (as long as yer in the UK, or in lucky good shops in the US, like Virgin <sad to admit, but yes, i do sometimes shop at virgin, although i did buy the CD in new orleans, where i was just record-hunting in general> and good indie shops) and the bonus CD is ace 'cause it has NOTHING from B&S on it so it's worth a listen! yay +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
