Sinister: Lyrics, Sonic Boom, and just how much can you write in a subject? seems to be quite a lot...
by Peter Brittain 15 Dec '98

15 Dec '98

Howdy, Um, on the (sorry) sonic boom note (laaaa), i saw him playing in the rather cool and groovy venue of an underground nuclear bunker in Fife, I didn't really like it very much though, Add N to X however were absolutely fantastic. And speak and spells are great! On another note (#laaaa) Am I alone in not really listening to the lyrics in B&S songs and not really being bothered about lyrics at all? I just listen to the tune, the vocals just make it more interesting. I don't know the words to any B&S songs.

Sinister: Typical Girls.... (HIP HOPPERZZZZZ!!!)
by Sarah 15 Dec '98

15 Dec '98

Hi, and why not. Just thought I'd say its been a downright smelly day! I had two two and a half hour exams. In one I had to translate a whole load of Spanish gumph about Military service, even though knowing my recent luck servicio militar probably means sack of dick. I didn't understand it at all. Sister Disco, it talked about a *milla*, does that mean you? I don't know what a milla is. Argh. I wrote a good essay on animal rights though. Yeeeah. BUT! I got some CDs in the post today! Woo-hah! Gosh. You know what? Male songwriters mostly are shite aren't they?? They all write from this hegemonic male viewpoint cos like, they're male cha - and wonder why women don't like their music, cos well, you are saying nothing relevant to over half the population except for your chauvanist arse. I've been listening to the Slits! They could whup all yo asses. Thats why I like Stuart M. Call him a big girlie but he does not right from the typical male viewpoint, which actually mean his lyrics are good!!! GIRLS! We're forming a girl group now, no boys allowed. WANKERS!!! You're all WANKERS!!! Oh well, apart from a few who are alright. You can't help being MALE OPPRESSORS MAN! I like JJ though, JJ's cool. Mmm, nice. Honeys nice too. Garys nice. WHo else is nice. Whoever. I don't care.....I don't care...thats a HMHB song that i've forgotten.... Sorry. I've got a cold. And I nearly cried, and then I just ate 4 bars of chocolate. Well, 3 bars and a packet of Revels. And one was a FLYTE. WHich is a chocolate milky way. I mean, I think I failed two exams, but I didn't cry about that! I felt bad cos I thought ok, I'll cheer myself up. I'm funny. Then I thought, yeah but there are nine million people better than you who everybody loves more!! Sarah you are like, the one thats vaguely amusing in the background but not really anything good or meaningfull!!! Waaah! Then I was told to come along to se Tony Hadley at Squires tonight by Frankie. I jest not, Tony Hadley from T'Ballet is playing a top (hehe) preston Niteklub. But thats only because Frankie is scared that other girl who is going might "pull" him, I think. I chortled. Then I went to my exam of espanol. And chortled once more. One question was about reading meters. Metros de contadores, I hope thats something to do with reading meters. Thats how I answered it anyway. The other fucking questions were on Military service!! I don't know!!! All I know is, it's there...you gotta do it....we haven't gone into it or anything...... But, I got in a passive sentence structure! Woo. English tomorrow!! Lessons Thursday! Ross's house and alky-hol on Friday, then someone elses house, then another pub, and then more alky-hol, then me probably dying from drink poisoning or something....yeah right with the amount of money I've got. heh. Officially engaged couple.....AAAAAAAAW!!! Toronoto woman and Chorlton Bloke.....AAAAAAAAWWW! If anyone else wants an AAAAAAW, i'll take requests. I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!!!!

Sinister: Dinkle Bells Dinkle Bells
by PJMiller 15 Dec '98

15 Dec '98

I've got Melody Maker now, and it's a right pile of wank. Thank goodness for Isobel, who decided to cheer us all up by posing for the centrespread photo pointing at a little sausage dog's bumhole and laughing. My guess is that the sausage dog was barking, causing its tiny sphincter to open and close in time with the woofs. "Oooh look Stuart!" she squeals with delight, "its bottomhole opens and closes llike your gormless gob when you're singing in the church choir! Tee-hee!" Stuart responds by bunny hopping after the hounds in an attempt to get a closer look at their doggy rectums in action, but his canine chums are frightened and run yelping into the nearest public lavatories, where their yelps echo eerily. I shall draw a discreet veil over what happens next. I'm surprised to see that Everett True is such a hey fatty bum bum! I thought he would be lean and mean and prowl the streets like a pop tiger. I should sack him if I were you Duke. You're right about all that gnome shit though. I prefer robots. Of course there can only ever be one Genevieve.

Someone help me please!

Sinister: a few things
by Janine Papp 15 Dec '98

15 Dec '98

dearest sinisterineeeees, a few things... first, I am going to have unsubscribe starting tomorrow until sometime after the new year since I will be traveling for a while and unable to check e-mail :( So... don't say anything bad about me or my spies will tell me. ;) ok, next: for those of you who asked for lists of record stores, I'm still happy to help you out, but it's going to have to wait until after new year's. sorry. but that's the way the biscuit grumbles. also: I know we've had discussions on this list about the meaning/implications/etc. of the word "twee" but does anyone know, etymologically speaking, the history of the word? I apologize if this has been discussed but I don't think this particular aspect has - and I'm asking because a friend of mine wants to know for a specific project and I thought you kids might be able to help out. so please e-mail me directly if you have an answer! and.... shameless self-promotion... I FINALLY finished issue #4 of my zine!!!! It's here and i'm so excited. woohooo... I would tell you to go to my website for Temple of Sting but it's terribly outdated, so I will update you when I get on the ball and update the site. needless to say, there's a lot of bee content. (even more shameless promotion, come see my band tomorrow at 8 at brownies if you live in nyc) anyway, I hope you all have wonderful fabulous times while I'm gone and happy holidays and whatnot. don't drink too much egg nog and definitely get under that mistletoe and snog. xo Queen Bee Janine +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Down Boy...Or Is That Up Boy?
by Warrander John - FML 15 Dec '98

15 Dec '98

Hello all, I have come amongst you today to salute our very own Duke for his wise words about all this Tolkien and Narnia stuff: >i hate the Narnia/Tolkien crap. It's all fairy bollocks, isn't it? >All those bloody elves and goblins and trolls and shit. BORING. Liam Gallagher's favourite book ever is "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe" so it's obviously for thickies with a reading age of about eight, which just happens to be the average reading age of British adults. Probably good to know shit like that before you start throwing accusations around about other nationalities being ill-educated and illiterate. And all books are shit anyway. Burn them. That's what I do. At our Party meetings. Chorlton and District Conservatives. Nice bunch us. Nice uniforms. The Duke's book has sold out at Waterstones in Manchester so I still haven't read it. And Megan thinks I'm only a little obsessed: >then john warrander started talking aobut making out with >the pastels and went on about tag. john, i think you're a little >obsessed here. No I'm not. I'm a lot obsessed. I'm a sick mutherfucker gonna kill someone obsessed. Not with Tag though. With another listee who I'm hoping to get a blow-job from when I vote him to the top, top, top of the list-crush charts. >however,tag is a common obsession among list members, >especially canadian ones. so i wouldnt worry too much. Oh yes, you're right, it is Tag I'm obsessed with. I'm not worried though. I'll sort it. Everything's under control. I'm common you know. Has everybody joined Shanana? Robbie and Sam have been saying Brad can't get it up. Or can't keep it up or something. And Manda Rin's been offering free head to anyone who'll defend Bis. My mum carries a cut-throat razor and headbutts people so I'll keep her away from the grown-ups' picnic. Could someone please kill Fat Les. I'M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS ------The Shalala Mob In my head: these fucking voices telling me to do bad things. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: i broke the internet !
by Denise Power 15 Dec '98

15 Dec '98

oh I'm so-o cross. there I was forgetting my embargo on this list , typing away inrelatively good spirits , rambling about various things ie imagine your name was list and when people said hi list you'd think they were talking to you, a quaint little story about my tv viewing yesterday re : battersea dogs home and they the silly looking computer (WHICH I HATE : ARE YOU LISTENING POOTER ,I HATE YOU :{ grrr) it just crashed again but luckily while i was desperately banging buttons i accidently pressed postpone mail so now i am typing very gently so [whisper] the computer won't know i'm on. well the battersea dogs home had a story about a little dog called puppy who had to have his leg amputated. oh i was engrossed would he survive ... or not ? of course he did ! hurray and he shuffled around with his little stump , a survivor but it made me think , now there's a puppy who would only benefit from a little set of wheels of cart him around in... wuhay! possibly my first b&S reference ever, I'm more from the school of thought of bus stories etc. oh i got that single thing, this is just a modern rock song, from Road records , possibly the only place in dublin to stock it and put it away for you with your name on it and they say hi and bye (julie and Dave - them's is the bestest, don't you think ?) well i just lurveeeee the gate ; the lyrics admittedly are a bit weak, but her voice is amazing , tut tut those of you would criticised it...infact it is my favourite song from that little assortment. what else : oh yeah Alix : I was completely over Ed (my crush on him) and then we went to a christmas party and the poor little petal was at first in a swinging mood , things were going well, which was unfortunate because I had convinced myself I didn't like him and he kept kissing me {on the cheek} and it was really hard to remember that I didn't fancy him and then the caffeine tablets and the red bull and vodka that we were consuming kicked in and he had what can only be nicely described as a bit of a breakdown. so I tried to console him , lots of rubs to the back and hands etc, wiping away his tears - he really was very upset , except now I'm not very good at consoling people , and I nearly , oh okay , infact I did say ~cringe~ "don't worry, nobody's laughing at you." I think that sent him over the edge... so anybody wanna discuss their problems, I'm your person. Eventually there was only so much I could do so I gave him into the trusted care of his dishy cousin and danced myself silly. oh course I had nightmares then about him but the next day I said sorry for freaking me out , that it was just some chemical reaction the stuff had , that nothing was really worong with him... and now I've gone and fallen inlove with him again. PANTS !!!!! sorry if that was really boring , just trying to let you know.... ahem, remember me ???????? and my tape ??????? some excuses you can try out on me : a) I lost it b) it must have got lost in the post c) i can't remember your address d) I've lost interest in B&S e) I don't want to partake in illegal operations such as taping authorised materail f) I'm really bsy g) go away. okay listees, I will be unsubscribing forxmas becausei have to keep my channels clear for my postgrad prospects....ooooh so exciting. good-day friends dee +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Shooting him would've been much easier...

Why just today, Sister Disco wrote: > One thing that worries me ever so > slightly is the cover. Mister Horne is sitting on a COMMUNIST PARTY > FLAG! Does this mean that Stuart Murdoch will be participating in > Stalinist pop pograms? I think it does. What's more, the first song > lasts about seven minutes, and Fidel Castro's speeches tend to last > about seven hours! I don't know if anyone else has read the amusing stories of the CIA's attempts to get rid of Castro, but here they are anyway: The CIA were desperate to get Castro out, but reckoned that nice easy assassination with a bullet was too risky (and not enough fun). So they came up with some quite novel plans, the first of which involved doping his cigars before key speeches so that he would be dicredited after delivering shambling monologues. Unfortunately all his speeches were like that anyway, so no-one actually noticed and back the CIA went to their Heath Robinson drawing board. The second incredible plan was to put a powder in his shoes that would make his beard fall out, the CIA believing that his beard was the source of all his powers and without it he would be robbed of his masculinity and charisma. Unfortunately there was one small flaw in the plan: it was bollocks. The powder failed miserably and the CIA were sent homewards, tae think again. The final plan involved the agency's biggest cock-up. The plan was to place exploding shells on the sea-bed near where Castro was known to scuba-dive, and the shells worked all right: they killed the agents who tried to position them. Quite funny, I thought. Except for the people dying, which is very sad. But still funny. Also, someone (I can't remember who as I accidently deleted the mail) asked what book they should read for their English class, and I suggest Catch-22, which has loads in it you can write about and is very funny/sad type stuff. Which leads me onto what Mark Casarotto said: > How come Catch 22 has never been discussed on this list? It seems the kind > of book that many people will have read and some will have been profoundly > affected by, myself more than anyone, and yet the archives reveal not a > single mention So, there, I've mentioned it. Discussions can be forthcoming, if you want. I find Nately's whore very funny, jumping out of bushes with knives and such like.
