Sinister: End of aquarian age
by Keith Watson 23 Feb '98

Cornershop are number 1, how cool is that! In an almost unprecedented manoeuvre, the British public have spent 66% more money on Brimful of Asha than Celine Dion's current offering, placing Cornershop most definitely Toppermost of the Poppermost... which is nice. Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Old Hat
by Adrian Evans 23 Feb '98

23 Feb '98

According to Sweary Mary's Dictionary on the Viz website : Biscuits - Definition. The contents of your stomach after a hard nights drinking - as in "get me a bucket, quick, i'm gonna chuck my biscuits!" Someone may like to have a look on this site and see if they have an entry for BAR. I would do so, but I fear a verbal backlash from Mr Big in IT Hat for abusing my internet privileges. Also I'm going on leave this afternoon for the rest of the week and I cannot be bothered to unsubscribe, so If you could all kindly keep your messages to a minimum until next Monday...mmmmmmmm. Adrian. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: News & Events
by Reid Dossinger 23 Feb '98

23 Feb '98

Does anyone know why the News and Events part of the B&S homepage hasn't been updated since the end of November? Would someone else with a website and a close connection to the band consider putting a news section on there? And any little bit of news would be appreciated. I haven't really heard anything about the progress on the new album, what would be on it, etc. Still, I'm looking forward to those Manchester gigs in December! ~Reid ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Monday Poem (No biscuit content)
by poetryplace2 23 Feb '98

23 Feb '98

Anyone see Before Sunrise last night? As I blubbed into my chrysanthemum of kleenex I realised Id completely forgotten the scene where the Julie and Ethan are in the record shop and she picks up a record which they take to the listening booth. Its a small masterpiece of embarrassment as this beautiful beautiful record plays and neither of them knows where to look. I squinted up at my tiny tv as the credits rolled and discovered that the song was Come Here by someone called Kath Bloom, but there were no label details or anything. Does anyone know anything about her? I would sell my left leg for a whole LP of that stuff. Continuing on a cinematic note, I was intrigued to read the other day that, in a Travoltaesque career resurrection, Robert Forster has landed a role in the new Tarantino film, Jackie Brown. What next? Lindy Morrison to have a cameo in Godzilla? Grant McLennan to oust George Clooney as the new Batman? Oh yeah the Monday poem WN Herbert hails from that hotbed of contemporary poetic talent, Dundee. Introducing himself to readers of Poetry Review, he wrote: Picture this: the Picts were not absorbed into the general population of Scotland, but remained tribal and ran the chip shops. Their enigmatic symbols now mean Frying tonite. The Scots did not abandon their language, and in any pub in Dundee men say Aye, Eh wiz at thi dirrye dantoun yesteern richt eneuch. And are not beaten up. Aliens landed last Wednesday and implanted the concept of capitalism in everyones brains. Just before Star Trek last week we were living in a moneyless society. Captain Beefheart went to my school; Iggy Pop is in telepathic contact with the bottlenose dolphins in the Moray Firth. And Mark E Smith is the editor of Poetry Review. This is world I attempt to create in my poems WN Herbert Independence Blues So ye were born in New Cumnock and went tae thi skail and learnt hoo tae parse and talk proper, there wiz Burns and his spider and Bruce wi thi moose and Watt thi inventor of porridge, and ye played fur thi Rangers each playtime or plunked but wid ye no like tae be Scottish? So ye went tae thi college tho yir parents were puir and yir best freends aa cleaned fur thi Cooncil, there wiz apeshit Monboddo and auld Burke and Hume and MacDiarmid that lived in a cottage, and ye learnt that oor learnin wiz pure sceptical but wid ye no like tae be Scottish? So ye warked in thi Borders in a sma legal firm and mairriet a maik hailed fae Melrose, there wiz bairns and thi Ridins and rugby and bools there wiz agein if ready or not-ish, there wiz one thing not proven in all of yir deeds sic: wid ye no like tae be Scottish? So ye early-retireit and bocht a wee croft and tried tae dig peats and speak Gaelic, there wiz Duncan Ban Dorain Big Moog o thi Sangs and midges tae nip at yir dotage, and ye bagged aa thi islands yir yacht could swing by but wid ye no like tae be Scottish? So ye voted Yes Yes when Sean Connery asked like thae lassies that geed in tae Bondage, there wiz Pussy McFlora and Folly-a-Bloom and Jean Mon Amour of the Forest, and yir parliament sang So we anely live twice but wid ye no like tae be Scottish? So ye died and were buried richt next tae yir dug and went tae thi place God expectit, there wiz Knox and his trumpet and plenty Wee Frees and MacKellar Watts meatiest sausage, but Saint Andrew strolled over and said are ye dead or could ye instead jist be Scottish? ----------------------------------------------------- Stephen Poetry Society: http://www.poetrysoc.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Elton John, not B&S
by Chris 23 Feb '98

23 Feb '98

How can anybody claim that Elton is naturally ginger? This is almost as daft (and perhaps almost as inspired) as putting a little chunk of house music at the end of a B&S song.

Sinister: Bad chocolate bar related pun, with vague musical overtones
by fishfishfishfishfish 23 Feb '98

Ian Brodie woke up the other morning, and found melted chocolate and nuts melted on his body. He'd fallen asleep with... (wait for it)... three lions on his chest. Boom, and if you will, boom. Rod.

Sinister: introductions.
by Matt Hayes. 23 Feb '98

23 Feb '98

well, my name is matt. i've been subscribed to this list for about a month but have only now plucked up the courage to write anything. even now it's not going to be anything of importance. i've noticed mentions of the smiths and nick drake (and of course b&s) who are, in conjunction with wine my prefered methods of wasting evenings. i also noticed a while ago someone mentioned the bell jar by sylvia plath which is quite possibly my all time favourite book. i've got if you're feeling sinister and the three singles bus sadly not tigermilk although i did see it advertised in nme a couple of weeks ago. sadly i didn't have 160 pounds spare. when i was looking at the website with everyones name on it i saw there were a couple of students from leeds who are subscribed so if any of you fancy a pint or a cup of tea or something, then just send me a mail. well i think that's about all. so goodbye. matt xxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
