Sinister: Jeepster site?
by Koen 15 Nov '98

15 Nov '98

Hi, is it me or is the Jeepster site down? For the past few days (since Friday I believe) I can't get through to the site, and I so much looked forward to catch a glimpse of the new EP (it is up, isn't it?). On a unrelated note, I could use some help with my weekly internet music quiz. This weeks stumpers are sleeve 1 and photo 1 & 2 (http://users.skynet.be/volders/foto0602.htm) Email me privately if you got answers or clues, thanks in advance, Koen Oh, I splashed out on "The Acid House", and I must say Slow Graffiti is quite lovely. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Hello,Nurse!

dear list, Hello :) ! Flasher John wrote: >>even those people in raincoats who flash >>you and then dive out the emergency exit! > >I wish that was me. I don't go on buses though. I was reading other bus stories and mine don't sound as exciting anymore! Well I don't run into flashers a lot,so you know it's a big thing.And I thought it was funny that people give eggs as fare! Eggs! Anyways...those are all I have of stories from the city bus..I don't go on the city bus much...but i have taken the damn school bus since grade 3!An hour to school and an hour back EVERY WEEK DAY! sniff.. in kidnergarten my grandpa used to pick me up from school (with pita bread and prunes...eeew prunes lunches from my grandma) and there's more stories there..all the hick boys,and one showed me a moose heart once,it was really gross....you want to be a flasher John? actually the other day,i went to get the newspaper and i put my mom's black raincoat on and i ran out in bare feet (COLD COLD COLD!) and i felt like a flasher,it was fun. i'm easily amused,can you tell!? >And I was being serious about Carter USM Genevieve. I loved >them when it was just Fruitbat, Jimbob and a drum machine. ahhh Jimbob...i'm going to share a special message..I wrote to Jimbob this: Take me back to England with you!I have a magical plan! Come back in August when I'm here and let me hide in your suitcase.I will clean your house if you like. and he wrote back: Hello,nice plan.I shall have to get a new suitcase,I've only got a bag with me now.Sorry you couldn't make it,lots of love, Jimbob X he never came back though...oh well. Whats with anti-ginger? I wish I had ginger hair! I want to be like Tag in the Pantene Pro-V commericals! Liz McDonald isn't ginger is she? that's more hairsprayed to death blonde i would think..and ooooh i hate her too! And that Sally! nasty bitch! i love Martin tho...(hellooooooooooo nurse) I got 2 magazines yesterday, the new Select.(more later) and Vanity Fair...I've never bought a Vanity Fair in my life before,I've only read them at the doc's office..but isn't Ewan gorgeous on the cover? Be proud ginger-heads! But why did they put dirt all over him (i don't mind actually,just curious) and why is he carrying a hen? Are there lots of Scottish men walking around in kilts with dirt all over them carrying hens? ....sigh and the Select...oh goodness it's Stuart MURDOCH who got the silver pants,I thought it was Stuart David..that's more his style..but little Stu! it's so weird..when Crispin Hunt came to Toronto he bought silver pants at le Chateua and HE didn't wear anything under them.Anyways...is Select trying to stir up gossip? well what am I SUPPOSED to believe with.. Turning back into the house,he eyes his companion lustfully. "Now,Ciara," he says,brandishing the whiskey bottle."What you probably need is a healthy drink of this." The door closes,no doubt leaving Stuart Murdoch to another evening of Christain Rock. ack!little stu is not supposed to do these things! He still thinks he came from a stork i thought! i blame those arms of sex. xoxox genevieve ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: what's fun in glasgow
by Bill Moss 15 Nov '98

Could anyone recommend good record stores, clubs/pubs (where I might meet sinister people), things to do, etc. in Glasgow? I'll be visiting this week and don't want to get stuck in the city center.

Sinister: Lots of musicy stuff.
by MATTHEW WIMBURY 15 Nov '98

15 Nov '98

Hi all.. I've not posted for a good while and hey, may not again for another good while, but here's my monthly update of urgently exciting things. Firstly, overdue thanks to Kevan (again) for the Tindersticks tapes and his magnificent tape tree one, and Philippe for the Felt one. I have been reading most posts over the last few weeks though when i get a bit busy i have to skip some and so only go to ones with interesting titles. This means looking at stuff about B+S and Nick Drake and other musicy things and missing out blasted arsing bus stories, but never mind. I'm sure they're really interesting. I was interested to read big boss bloke's post about what people send in. I must admit i seem to be one of those boring people who only want to discuss lovely music and b+s music in particular.....but i shouldn't complain if people want to talk about buses really should i because I don't HAVE to read it. About Nick Drake (yes sorry i know it was days and days ago but I've had my girlfriend visiting and she does get bored if i sit around reading and posting to sinister all the time and ignoring her!) you can't go wrong with any of the albums, but there are bigger differences between them than people say. I think the Way To Blue intro is a brilliant way to get into him as it takes a bit from each album. As the first album Five Leaves Left is a good, though I'm not sure I'd start with Pink Moon, even though it's my favourite, as i think its easier to get into his earlier stuff rather than this stark depressed acoustic album. Time Of No Reply, being a hotch potch of stuff written throughout his career, would be a good if odd place to start too, and contains my fave Drake song, Clothes Of Sand. Finally...I have a couple of requests. Firstly, could some kind person mail me and tell me about the Pastels, brief history and discography etc...and could someone please copy me the Kid Loco album??? Pretty please??? Well that's enough from me for now. Matt PS Can't wait for the new single even though Id have preferred Middle Distance Runner to be a single instead.

Sinister: the stylin' bus
by Blissxo＠aol.com 15 Nov '98

15 Nov '98

hi, firstly, i'd like to say that i'm wearing a pair of jeans that are a bit faded and turned up at the bottom, a white tortoise shirt with little turtle fireworks on the front, and a red cardigan, which sets off my red hair quite nicely. okay, now for the bus stories: i've got plenty, because the bus drivers in toronto all seem to be nutty. one time, i was on the subway in the winter and this guy got on and sat down beside me, he was probably about 35 years old, and he was sweating profusely - like, it was running down his face and his shirt was soaked. when i told people that i was all creeped out by this, they said he probably had ebola. there's a bus driver on my regular route that calls out all the stops, which is fairly normal, but then he also lists everything else that would possibly be of interest in the area. for example "next stop, mccowan road, scarborough general hospital - get off here if you're not feeling so good. also down the street, there's a shopper's drug mart. transfer here to go to the scarborough town center - if you haven't started your christmas shopping yet, this is great place to go. also, santa has arrived at the mall, so all you kids go and tell him what you want for christmas". he's sometimes on a different route, and we pass this catholic church and he says "next stop, st. thomas more catholic church. get off here if you have sinned, 5 hail marys and a transfer required to get to heaven" i probably shouldn't even mention the driver that started "the wheels on the bus" singalong. truly, jessicaxo +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: disgusting dreams, etc
by rebelstrange＠ldd.net 14 Nov '98

14 Nov '98

Yay!!!!! I can't WAIT to see a b/s video actually on MTV the bastards better do something right! that show has become so crap i can hardly stand to leave it on for over 10 minutes because after hearing the "prevue" of what bands are going to be played that nite, i surrender in disgust and boredom. not to mentiong that every week they have some lardy band like Mighty mighty Bosstones, or depeche mode(oooh !) or 311 sitting in the big packing crates, or whatever, blabbing about frat boy fun and listening to whoever-the-host-is's stupid questions. Let it be known far and wide, that i shall wait before teh television on this night, with my VCR champing at the bit, praying for "is it Wicked"...... thanks paul hunny for setting us straight....... thanks to whoever posted the Love Bus story, that was just divine..... thanks to whoever has looked at my page and given me nice comments, and i entreat anyone who has not to go look at it right now, because they're really really good.......honest!! (and you can see what i look like, in one of the shots.....teehee*) I had a little Moment the other day. someone sent me an email entitled "Isobel any use on icicles?" (i'm sorry i forget which person wrote that, but i'm keeping you in mind....)) so naturally that day i set out to school with that question in my brain, and while driving i came up with the amusing concept that, were Isobel to journey to the North Pole(or indeed, any other pole), half the earth 's land would surely end up under water within the day. while i was relishing this clever idea, and thus feeling rather naughty myself, i was startled by the approach of a freight truck, painted on the side with the words "Campbell Mattress Co.". Inexplicably, i felt a deep shame. apologies to everyone for this prospective smut. I had a bizarre b/s dream. I was attending a concert in some southern area of the USA, with a few friends of mine. our seats werent' very good. when we all turned around to see the show start, there wasn't any rehearsal or opening band, but as we were seated by the side of the venue a little door opened, and stuart M. pulled the group of me and my friends into a small room, where he was playing a mini-set by himself accompanied by only a preprogramed synthesizer that made tinkly noises. he sang about 5 songs as we sat on the floor in such close quarters. before he began, a manager/producer type guy walked in and advised him on somehting. stu had been eating a large ketle of vegetable soup at the time, the manager stuck a hand in his mouth and immediately he vomited into a big tin kettle, it was very colorful. he seemed amused by my reaction. they informed us that vomiting was a helpful tool in preparing the vocal cords. his hands were covered in it so while he was singing and he took my hand at one point in a song, i got ti all over my arms. I was wearing soem sort of gauzy night gown with black garters under it and trying to cover myself up. I kept confusing stuart with Damon from Blur, which now is a disturbign thought to me, so his name may have actually been damon at some pt in the dream. later the show started and they began with a dress-up pantomime to "mary jo" which was funny, but i was worried cos Isobel was no where to be seen. Sarah was only on stage once or twice, and they had two other girls out playing that i had never seen before. i began to wail and moan because i couldnt' see Isobel and she must be sick and have gone back home and i wouldn't get to settle my score and actually talk to her. after the show someone that we knew died in a car crash that was very gory, and so we had to go home and couldnt' stay to talk to the band. apologies to Stuart M., who I dont 'honestly believe goes around vomiting on people. If i ever saw anyone in a study at stow t-shirt, i woudl probably have a heart attack. if anyone sees me and i'm wearing mine, please give me a big sloppy kiss. I know it's irrelevant, but i wish there were sinisterites around here. i was thiinking how fun it would be to go out to a club or a public place with people who are actualy interesting and clever. there dont' seem to be many around here. *sigh* I think i would date anyone on this list once, even a boy. (just once, and no snogging mind you) Living alone, lesley Jo +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

None
by aaron tieger 14 Nov '98

I've been keeping silent about bus stories because I didn't think I had any (haven't really spent time on a bus since I was about 7), but alix's story suddenly brought back several. The time some kid in my class had a birthday and we all got to bring home balloons, and one of the big kids burst mine when it was about an inch from my face with a sharpened pencil; the time Aldo Beradi tore the lid off my lunchbox because he was a big moron; perhaps worst: the time some older kid told me to give the finger to this girl sitting across from us. I refused, because while I was unable to articulate what it meant I knew it was nasty. He said "No, no, it doesn't mean that anymore. It's a good thing. Besides, if you don't, I'll twist your arm." So I did, and he said "What a rude kid you are" and twisted my arm. Thanks, Alix, for those lovely memories. aaron === atieger(a)rocketmail.com auger/anvil "What makes most people feel happy leads us headlong into harm." --The Smiths _____________________________________________________________________ Sent by RocketMail, free e-mail for the planet. * Visit & explore Cybersmith at http://www.cybersmith.com * Get your web-based e-mail at http://www.rocketmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Video Tapes
by Jordi Trenzano Vilar 14 Nov '98

14 Nov '98

Along with Mick, I just wanted to say that I had no "filthy lucre" intention of earning money or anything else by taping the "Is it wicked..."video. Furthermore, my local video club does not copy video tapes if they are no longer than one hour, so i?m afraid that it wouldn?t be possible. I love the "Modern rock song" sleeve. I think that someone asked it before, but will it have another short story, like in 369 or in "LLPJ" ? begin 600 WINMAIL.DAT M>)\^(@\6`0:0" `$```````!``$``0>0!@`(````Y 0```````#H``$-@ 0` M`@````(``@`!!) &`$P!```!````# ````,``# %````"P`/#@`````"`?\/ M`0```'0`````````M3O"P"QW$!JAO @`*RI6PA4```!K%TNW-$O2$;$'1$53 M5 ``1( ```````"!*Q^DOJ,0&9UN`-T!#U0"`````'-I;FES=&5R(&UA:6QI M;F<@;&ES= !33510`'-I;FES=&5R0'!H+F5D+F%C+G5K`!X``C !````!0`` M`%--5% `````'@`#, $````5````<VEN:7-T97) <&@N960N86,N=6L````` M`P`5# $````#`/X/!@```!X``3 !````& ```"=S:6YI<W1E<B!M86EL:6YG M(&QI<W0G``(!"S !````&@```%--5% Z4TE.25-415) 4$@N140N04,N54L` M```#```Y``````L`0#H!`````@'V#P$````$````````!>] `0B !P`8```` M25!-+DUI8W)O<V]F="!-86EL+DYO=&4`,0@!!( !``P```!6:61E;R!487!E M<P`4! $%@ ,`#@```,X'"P`.`!0`+P`C``8`6@$!(( #``X```#.!PL`#@`4 M`"\`(P`&`%H!`0F `0`A````,S,V,$(S0C$P,3=#1#(Q,4(Q,#DT-#0U-3,U M-# P,# `I08!`Y &`'P#```2````"P`C```````#`"8```````L`*0`````` M`P`V``````! `#D`@.-EH <0O@$>`' ``0````P```!6:61E;R!487!E<P`" M`7$``0```!8````!OA 'H%RQLV X? $1TK$)1$535 `````>`!X,`0````4` M``!33510`````!X`'PP!````'0```# R.3$Y-#)A,#% 86)O;F%D;W,N8W!L M=7,N97,``````P`&$'11PT$#``<05P$``!X`"! !````90```$%,3TY'5TE4 M2$U)0TLL24I54U1704Y414143U-!651(051)2$%$3D\B1DE,5$A93%5#4D4B M24Y414Y424].3T9%05).24Y'34].15E/4D%.651(24Y'14Q314)95$%024Y' M5$@``````@$)$ $````(`@``!
