Sinister: were you at the b+s toronto meet?
by Blissxo＠aol.com 06 Nov '98

06 Nov '98

hey, so this is my second post today. sue me, the paint fumes are getting to me and the scary painter just asked me for a garbage bag. i was just wondering if everyone who attended the toronto b+s meet at the public library could send me their name, description and maybe what they were wearing at the meet. i've matched names to faces of jj, matt, debbie, vicky, teri, allan, carlos and claire...but i'm afraid my memory is terrible and i can only remember snippets of people's names (oh yes, his name started with, erm, an 'r'). so don't feel bad or anything please, just write what you look like and then when i get my photos scanned you'll get recognition for being the very best you that you could possibly be. who was it that was looking at my baby g? and who was playing with his tamagotchi? and who was the brunette film school boy with glasses? oh, and i'm the jessica from toronto. i sometimes use my tinystar account, this is just the trial for aol. if y'all (wizzcake) were curious. thanks muchly, jessicaxo +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: b at t's content
by donovan nuyen 06 Nov '98

>hmph. The film simply neglects the memorable characterisation that Paul --you may know him better as George Peppard -- is a poof. wait dont tell the me BOOK breakfast at tiffanys started this whole "funny" (but has to be gorgeous as a requisite) girl and gay guy pairing that seems to be a fad now... also..i always thought that the guy in "tiffany's" looks too much like william h macy, the guy in fargo who was the car salesman..i think he was in air force one and boogie nights....also how can the guy be gay if he falls in love with holly golightly.. i guess the movie msut have underwent drastic revision...i think holly golightly would turn me out if i was gay. "I know your whole act, telling girls that youre gay so you can break up with them and look cool. Youre not fit to lick the boots of my REAL gay friends" " Well, I dont WANT to lick the boots of your real gay friends" -Last Days of Disco btw...here's a funny little thing about top gun i found..sorry if this was a long mail Sid: You want subversion on a massive level. You know what one of the greatest fucking scripts ever written in the history of Hollywood is? Top Gun. Duane: Oh, come on. Sid: Top Gun is fucking great. What is Top Gun? You think it's a story about a bunch of fighter pilots. Duane: It's about a bunch of guys waving their dicks around. Sid: It is a story about a man's struggle with his own homosexuality. It is! That is what Top Gun is about, man. You've got Maverick, all right? He's on the edge, man. He's right on the f*cking line, all right? And you've got Iceman, and all his crew. They're gay, they represent the gay man, all right? And they're saying, go, go the gay way, go the gay way. He could go both ways. Duane: What about Kelly McGillis? Sid: Kelly McGillis, she's heterosexuality. She's saying: no, no, no, no, no, no, go the normal way, play by the rules, go the normal way. They're saying no, go the gay way, be the gay way, go for the gay way, all right? That is what's going on throughout that whole movie... He goes to her house, all right? It looks like they're going to have sex, you know, they're just kind of sitting back, he's takin' a shower and everything. They don't have sex. He gets on the motorcycle, drives away. She's like, "What the f*ck, what the f*ck is going on here?" Next scene, next scene you see her, she's in the elevator, she is dressed like a guy. She's got the cap on, she's got the aviator glasses, she's wearing the same jacket that the Iceman wears.She is, okay, this is how I gotta get this guy, this guy's going towards the gay way, I gotta bring him back, I gotta bring him back from the gay way, so I'll do that through subterfuge, I'm gonna dress like a man. All right? That is how she approaches it. Okay, now let me just ask you - I'm gonna digress for two seconds here. I met this girl Amy here, she's like floating around here and everything. Now, she just got divorced, right? All right, but the REAL ending of the movie is when they fight the MIGs at the end, all right? Because he has passed over into the gay way. They are this gay fighting fucking force, all right? And they're beating the Russians, the gays are beating the Russians. And it's over, and they f*cking land, and Iceman's been trying to get Maverick the entire time, and finally, he's got him, all right? And what is the last fucking line that they have together? They're all hugging and kissing and happy with each other, and Ice comes up to Maverick, and he says, "Man, you can ride my tail, anytime!" And what does Maverick say? "You can ride mine!" Swordfight! Swordfight! F*ckin' A, man!

Well, If everybody's talking about me, I might as well say something too. Unfortunately I'm not playing with the Blue Heelers anymore. I'm currently in Vancouver shooting "The Happy Face Murders" and next year I'll co-star with Matt Damon in "All the Pretty Horses". So please forget about all this E.T. crap. Every role I've done since I was an adult, people have gone, "Henry Thomas makes a comeback."

This is funny. I gotta go now. A big hello to Jessica, Krista, and all the other people I met at the NYC gig.

Sinister: l'amour, l'amour, l'amour...
by Philippe Garnier 06 Nov '98

06 Nov '98

Hello girls and boys, Our lovely Sinister web site is down. All the listees are crying in the night, because they can't have a look at my photo in the portrait gallery. Some wicked guys will certainly trying to convince you that Sinister is out of order because Honey has just put my photo on the site. That's not true! Actualy, I did not send my wee photo to him, so I am not responsible for that disaster. It's not my fault. So, nobody wonders whether I am be gay or sexually ambiguous? I am lucky because I had saved all the photos of listees before the crash (bonjour StLucy...), so I can look at them all day long. My dog asked me to be on the photo too. But if I accept, my donkey will by jalous. Donkeys are really jalous animals! So I think I will have to take a photo of me with my dog and my donkey. I also have a red fish but it is a very shy one, it does not like photos. If Stuart Murdoch was a red fish, he would look like my red fish. By the way, I don't know if my fish is a male or a female... How can I check the sex of my wee fish? Mayby it is gay? The favourite Paul's Verlaine poem starts like that: J'ai peur d'un baiser Comme d'une abeille, Je souffre et je veille Sans me reposer, J'ai peur d'un baiser. This poem is called Poor Young Shepherd (an english title, as you can see). Should i give you the end of the poem? Everyone should learn french only to be able to understand french poetry. And Poupee de cire poupee de son too :) Kisses to the bees and to the listees, Philippe +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: catching up, mark two
by Honey 06 Nov '98

06 Nov '98

Phew. OK a few more things from my dizzy astrally projected three-days' old list readings - I'm really sorry this is so piecemeal, so I've thrown in some headings to make it look as if I've got an ordered brain. And I've got my British "politeness" hat on today. - List stuff - I don't quite know how to put this one but I'm queasy about open debate about band members' sexualities and inter-relationships on the list, apart from the obvious fact that of course they all have a thing for Peter Miller, as he appears in every song in a variety of disguises. We've had this long aching debate about who's gay etc. ages ago, and for many of us the band are friends or acquaintances, and read the list sometimes too, so I suppose you could say if you squinted a little that they are honorary members. I suspect none of you would like to see 800 people debating your private life (well I know a few here who might revel in it :), and really is sexuality like that anyway, and really isn't it a bit of a tired old one-dimensional way of interpreting complex personal expression and identity? B&S aren't a flag-waving band, thank goodness, and if you find empathy, connectness, and a personal mirror of your own life in the music then that's where many of us are and that's good; but let's not dig around for really quite private details. I wouldn't allow it on the list for any of *you* blessed 800 listees. Gosh that was sensible. Why didn't I say: they have private lives too. Anyway I've said enough to be shot down, but please ease off it a little, and if you wish to talk about this, please mail me privately. While we're on it, let's go a little easy on a certain person who may be on the list and got a bit of a slagging. Just because someone's had a public life doesn't mean they don't deserve the respect and ploliteness you would expect yourself. It also probably means they can't reply as easily as the rest of us. A listee's a listee whoever they are, and as such is a cherished jewel in my wee heart, and anyone saying anything rude or personal about anyone else on here counts as a flame. And we don't like flames do we? We know they wreck lists, and this list's fabulous thanks to you lot. So be nice because I like it that way. Thank you for your attention you can all return to your desks now, and Adrian Evans wipe that smirk off your face and stop chewing your pencil. Oh! And can I say for the umpteenth time that I don't want anyone to think I'm having a go at them! A few people have in the past and honestly honestly I'm not! I'm just trying to keep the list how the majority of people on it want it. Please don't stop posting and go off in a huff... please. The only time anything's directed at an individual I mail them directly. I should know, I just have :) - WWW site - OK, I promise the WWW site will be back very soon, nay, in the twinkling of an eye. I've restored the archives, which are sort of limping along and looking for sympathy just now, but you can't get to them from the main page; so go to: http://www.majordomo.net/sinister/hypermail/current and via the link "Other mail archives" to every posting there's ever been. - Sending list mails in HTML - please read - There's some people sending to the list in HTML format: they probably don't know it and they're certainly not to blame, but it's that (grrr) irritating thing that Microsoft products like Outlook use by default. Anyway it makes a hash of the digests and I'd appreciate anyone who knows how can send me a full easy-to-use guide on how to turn it off for different mailers (i.e. step by step which I can send on), to send it to me for re-distribution. Not the list please as it'll start another discussion :) In the meantime if you're using Outlook Express, please look at your settings under "Tool", "Options", "Send" and turn choose "Plain Text" rather than "HTML". I have a vague memory it's more complicated than that, but I can't remember why, and hey, it's a start. God, that's vague, sorry I'll try and send out something more competent if someone clever can summarise in a mail to me. - Miscellaneous Ejaculations - The fabulously named Arantxa (I can't believe I know two Arantxa's), and Cindy and others asked how someone puts up a photo on the slightly defunct Sinister WWW pages - you send them to me, JPG format please. I'm particularly proud of the baby pages, partly because I shamelessly like my own picture in wellies with a teddy, so they get quicker attention from me. I think Azreal and co. pointed people to their pictures on the WWW and again if anyone wants me to incorporate them, just ask me to sweetly and send me the URL. And then wait a little while, as everything's taking me a long time just now, as several people waiting for guitar tabs, and personal mails will have noticed: sorry! I'm getting there. Jennifer asked for Tigermilk lyrics - if you go to the Jeepster site www.jeepster.co.uk, they're all there under "discography". Poor old Christian, I don't know who had a go at you about Duran Duran, but ask a "Linda" on the list to make a public confession about her Simon Le Bon poster. The Boy Keith made mention of the "concert" the band minus one did at the church in Glasgow and indeed they did do "Turn, Turn, Turn" and many other festive favourites, like "Kumbayah Me Lordy". This is all true. For new and unbelieving people to the list, if you want to you can see the full rundown at: http://www.majordomo.net/sinister/hypermail/1998-month-06/0467.html The delightful Monsieur Philippe: if anyone tells you how to sex a goldfish (no I mean.. you know what I mean, don't be cheeky) then can you tell me too? Princess Diana is looking a bit confused and her fins are going all limp. Entertainment for the ill and at-home: go out and buy cordless phones with two handsets, and then get Linda to take hers out to the car and see how far down the street she can get to the shops before they cut off. Can someone ring me please so I can use the phone a bit more? Today's UK Guardian has an interesting article on A&R men, and makes mention of a band called "Ken Dodd's Dad's Dog's Dead".

Sinister: OoPs!

OK, this girl is REALLY tired, or brain dead, I don't know. Alex just emailed me to say he tried the URL I sent on the list for the airing of some Black Sessions on CJAM tonight,and, woe is me, I forgot one small character. Absolutely knackered. Let's hope we can engineer the console tonight and not blow up the university or something, although, that is a thought... Hey Carly, 54 40 ARE playing tonight - wouldn't be a bad idea if we cut their power. Giggles. Tom would be pissed, but then your classic rock boyfriend needs to have some more B+S injected into his veins. :-> So here we go again: www.uwindsor.ca/cjam/music_links.html And if THAT doesn't work, send hate mail to our station manager because it means the server is DOWN! cheers, Alexandra "the weaker argument defeats the stronger" ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
