Sinister: known throughout the skool for being strange
by rebelstrange＠ldd.net 09 Dec '98

09 Dec '98

oooh.....thanks for the laugh returned, you kool daddyo Mark C., it makes it all worthwhile.....my personal favorite bit that i made up (yes i'm sad and sorry, i make myself laugh) was either "Knees of Sex not available in TX, UT, or Delawaare" or "Banned for Vulgarity in the Czech Republic!!" and i am pretty proud of myself for making stuart m and Sarah look so cute, and for making stuart david look remotely recognizable. *************** just thought i'd better post and tell you all that the scumbags at the aforementioned magazine have a rather large centre page spread of Belle & Sebastian in this weeks (cover date 12th December) issue. They're trying to palm it off as an interview, however it's just a collabaoration of old articles etc. oh, and they've put Stuart M and Isobel on the front cover. without asking the band. but i'm not annoyed, really. ************* AAAAAAAAHHHHH *jumps up and down, throws down lollipop in fit of anger* iwanna iwanna iwanna!!! no really, stu and isobel would NEVer be on the cover of a big time magazine here,i'm so jealous of you brits and all your snazzy belle and sebastian articles, i'll pay someone for a copy of that, really i will......... something i received last week in my inbox: *** Wow. I hope you don't mind me saying this, but you really need a good shag. ****<endquote> i wont' embarrass the scraggly rake what sent it, but it's all in fun really, at least he knew what he was getting into, haha. it's just to prove that if there's one thing a red-blooded, manly male can't resist, it's the temptation to "convert the lesbian". an urge so primal, so imbedded in our genes and linked to the reflex of the ancestral vagus nerve, that it's been observed in creatures such as the lion tamarin, our cousin the bonobo, and even the blue-footed booby. Actually, the bloke was right, i must *sigh* admit, but i'll probably remain in need for some time as the individual i'd probably request a shag with would be totally and utterly unavailable. i'm not THAT desperate! lyric related q's: in IKWTSG(!!try that on for size you anagram-mad fools!!), stuart writes of putting your head down, and your thumbs up, and the smell of hot desk. is it just me or is he talking about playing Seven-up?? i didn't know they had Seven-up in britain. does anyone konw what i'm talking about? or is it common knowledge. that game was so frightening and thrilling in a way, it was alwyas a way to pick on the peoplle you most fancied, without really being found out if you wanted. i was so good at it, i could cop a poker face like no one alive, i hardly ever got guessed. of course i hardly ever got picked, c'est la vie. i saw a news program that had a view from a school room, the little kids and the desks and the teacher in front, and i was almost nostalgic to enter that world again, to study it and the relationships of the strange children, and the whole world that it becomes in itself, a microcosm. i dotn' know why i would feel that way cos when i was in school i hated it and myself with an equal measure of acid disgust. so instead of thinking about it i'll probably just go and listen to "expectations" again, it's all the intrigue without the blunt trauma and suicidal urges. in my gullet: pepperidge farms Chessmen cookies in the cracks between the keys of my keyboard: crumbs from pepperidge farms chessmen cookies lesleyjo +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sorry if this has already been said this morning, but I'm only lowly digest scum.

Sinister: Modern Rock Song
by Jake 09 Dec '98

09 Dec '98

Hi there, I'M HERE NOW!!! Unless I've skipped through it on the digests, i haven't seen anyone passing judgement on Sarah's effort for the Video of "Why do Modern Socks Pong?". Did everyone miss it on MTV?, the people that I've spoken to who have seen it had mixed opinions, but those whose opions i trust more think its a bit pants, oh and how good were Snow Patrol?. I can't wait for the video of Dirty Dream #2, being done by a professional video maker! What next B&S leaving Jeepster and signing a 5 album deal with V2 or maybe even Sony? Having had my fix of new B&S tracks, I'm already on the search for some more. This is just a request for a copy of Lord Antony, I'll trade tapes, or cover the cost of the tape and postage, or whatever, even from america. Please?!?!?!?!

Sinister: lefty musos
by alex tobin 09 Dec '98

to all not in the know, sarah (aka sez - one of those aussies in old london town) has previously assured me that she plays a 'mean tambourine'. knowing her, me writing this results in what amounts to an outing of sorts... but pop the question and she'll be more than willing to admit, i hope. but for the real reason... it was really nice to finally meet a few of you this past week in london (mr. trousers, pam, mike, and... hehe... 'hoppo'). too bad our car was stolen the day i got back... ah, life... (not the desree song, mind!). oh - and i'm left-handed, but alas only a left-handed vocalist (i.e. mic in left, pint in right), so does that count? eh?!! -funksoulbrother ----------------------------------------------------------- alex tobin pater romboutslaan 14 6419 be heerlen the netherlands phone +31.45.5711883 fax +31.46.443.3937 mobile +31.6.50603533 e-mail alex(a)tobin.demon.nl webpage http://www.tobin.demon.nl

Sinister: Hello Operator
by Miss Erin Nicole Lewis 09 Dec '98

09 Dec '98

Hey kids! For those of you who are wondering, I am not dead, but I have disappeared. The past 3+ weeks, I have been roadtripping with and entertaining my Australian boyfriend, and we are having a fabulous time. This weekend in Los Angeles we saw a Picasso exhibit (probably the best $12 I ever spent) and Mark Eitzel play the best music he's ever written (all unreleased, natch). We missed Rufus Wainwright because a certain person is underage (please e-mail privately if you went and it stunk - it will make my day). We also went to Aron's Records today, where we found 8 copies of Teejammers on CD, and 4 on LP (CD price: $7.99). They also deliver, and you can order from the Internet. So for those of you in the U.S. who live in small towns and feel like losers, worry no more! Try either www.aronsrecords.com or call them at (213) 469-4700. They promise their delivery is prompt, too. This week has been reserved for finishing up mix tapes. I think I've gotten just about everybody, but if you fear I've forgotten you, don't hesitate to send me a reminder (Ezra - I've got you covered). Even when I'm on the road, I still check my e-mail (but I delete my Sinister digests). Actually, I must confess I went to the archives to look up a mention of my name (oooh, how vain, I know), and it gave me 175 entries for one month. I only found two that my name was actually in. :( Honey, is there something wrong with the search engine? Or is there a larger word like "wondering" that the word "erin" is in that is confusing the search engine? Hmmm.... At the Mark Eitzel show, Simon leaned over to me and said, "Isn't that your t-shirt?" Sure enough, he spotted a Study-at-Stow. I went over to talk to said shirt-wearer, and he admitted that he was once on the list, but had unsubscribed. So I almost met one of my own. :( I miss you all, and I hope you're having a wonderful holiday season. Keep snug and warm (except Ben, Sez, and the others lucky enough to be in Oz right now - GRRRRR), eat lots of yummy food, and watch loads of bad TV. And any of you who love me and are feeling bored, feel free to send me a mix tape for my three-day drive to Missouri. HINT, HINT. Love, Miss Erin P.S. Thanks to whoever voted for MysteryDate as his/her list crush! ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: my friend, as lonely as a highway
by Pulpbot＠aol.com 09 Dec '98

09 Dec '98

the holiday travel season is upon us, and lonesome cowboy Bill crushes the mistletoe 'twixt his spurs, the mercury from the faded daguerrotype of his beloved photoJenny seeping through his skin and tugging him toward sleep. Yes, friends, the tumbleweed of 'ol England beats a quiet path; the dainty heather of the Scottish moors dances in the rough winds, alone; the craggy hilltops of Wales contemplate eternity; oh hell, it just bites to travel alone. My pal Eran, his parole officer finally confident that he can be trusted without a tracking device, is visiting London. Of course, no one wants to lounge the days away on their own, and he is so very terrific a guy (funny, smart, has a freakishly large record collection, is willing to chip in for abortions), and so I am confident that the London listees will make like the baby Jesus and share and share alike. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
