Sinister: ooh, is this too cheeky ... ?

Morning everyone! Ummm, David was wondering if anyone thought that his B&S fan-club site is good enough to be nominated for a reader's choice award in this year's Music Week and .dotmusic New Media Awards. If you think he deserves a nomination, then please go to the Reader's Choice bit of the awards at http://www.dotmusic.com Sorry if this is cheeky, but he is too embarrassed to ask ... awww, how sweet! Cheers, Katrina. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Biscuits (again) , Elvis and Hardbody all in one header
by susannah 23 Feb '98

23 Feb '98

Top Glaswegian band Toaster (and I only say that as I fancy the bassist) have a song called Biscuits. Its well ropey actually, with lyrics like "The balls flying about all across the shop, he had a snowballs chance in hell" and "Fee Fi Fo Fum, I'm gonna fry all you scum" but should you want to hear it it's on collaboration called 'Best Kept Secrets No.1', a 7" ,on the same side as Hardbody. When I heard Mick was in Hardbody I stuck on their song (always skipped that one) called 'blow the man down'. I thought it was fantastic, with great electro-beats, but the singers voice was a bit high-pitched. Then I found out I had it on the wrong speed, so stuck it on 33 and didn't sound half as good. Sorry. Oh, and top pouting bassist band Toaster also have a song about Elvis called 'Huggy'. That one's dodgy too, best lyric "yummy yummy yummy teddy bear he had a tummy". They'll go far. Susannah Off sick and delirious. ................................................................................ ..... 'La la la la la, He got the money and the girl' ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: native naivete
by PKHINTZ＠aol.com 23 Feb '98

23 Feb '98

Now that the "git" question is somewhat resolved, would any UK listees be willing to share what exactly are "blinkers" and who (or what) is Sid James--is it a cat, broccoli, Elvis? I was not brought up British so those are utterly lost on me. Living and loving Matthew ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I think i had something half-important to write but i can't remember. oh,you guys are playing mind games aren't you? some of the mails just come out like OGJHEGIA#)*&%NMLGH#(&%&#)(*#!GGNG*37375 that. list crushes! hee hee i'd never say.... so i suppose i should go back to little thoughts of welsh hills ... rydw i'n offi cute record store boy Nos da, kiss Genevieve The Dandys are lovely.

Sinister: we'll have a dirty weekend...
by blink＠inexpress.net 22 Feb '98

22 Feb '98

Hello dear people! my goodness all the things you talk about.... First off....a twix is a BAR!! I don't like those anyways,why have biscuit or bar when you can have those lovely peanut m&m's! Although some of the best cookies are from Subway. Olympics: My mother is mad cause I told her the Czechs would win the gold and not the Canadians..(big big upset!)I am so proud,the Czech in me! Except..I fear I will get attacked by a whole bunch of canadian-gold-men hockey worshipper people now. Bjorn Daehlie is magnificent. and Hands-Petter Buraas has the most beautiful red hair. I want to go to Norway. Gym stories: I love gym actually...it keeps my whole average up.We have showers but nobody ever use them hardly...my teacher is alright..but she's kind of scary..sometimes you just fall or hurt yourself you know? So anyways,I was really sore one day and I couldn't do gym so she asked me and I'm like "well,i'm a bit bruised you know?" Then she asked me if my boyfriend beat me,I tell her no,she thinks I'm lying and then she started hugging me and getting all emotional and I couldn't run away...now she does this all the time,I have the flu,I must be beaten...almost as bad as the ancient nurse.. "I have a headache" "Are you pregnant?" "I twisted my ankle" "Is it possible you have an std?" "I took an aspirin" "SO you do drugs all the time then?" Then she'll poke you. one of the most orginial lines i've heard for getting out was "i've got diabetes" "but you can still do gym" "i've got siberean diabetes" teacher was not amused....my upset with gym is in the weight room.. i thought i had triumphed by leg pressing 220 pounds untill this scrwany boy who i can beat up can press 400 pounds. Oh! I met two male strippers last night,it was kinda of odd,they just introduced themselves...they told kinda strange stories..and another thing,when I got to place I wasn't there for one minute and I supposed I glanced too long at some girl cause she goes running by me and as she goes running by me she's like 'WANNA FIGHT!' in this squeaky voice.I laughed,I wanted her to come back.See..no one ever takes me as something you would call threatning so that was something!An invitation for a fight! I usally always get grannies sitting with me on the bus.... So anyways...i was in this suffocating crowd for this outdorr dance thingy and grrrrr! The tv people really get to me! WHen the cameras are on the hosts keep saying how much they love you,but as soon as commercial..they yell and tell you to back up,so anyways I couldn't move,I was squished and they kept telling you to dance and wave your hands,dance! I couldn't even get my hand up!..somehow made it in the front and i was getting real sick of it so i went over to jump railing and when I stood up on it..it was freaky t o see all the people!That two-faced host was smiling at all the people but i didn't blow her kisses,i gave her the v-sign and did a weird little butt dance at them till the security guards chase me away. The dancers up on stage are pretty stupid too...there was this one guy,andrew or soemthign and all the girls were screamign for him and I'm like 'who's andrew?' they look at me exsaperately and are like 'ONLY the best electric circus dancer EVER!' 'but why do you like him?' 'he's sexual!' NO HE ISN'T. Now comes the GOOD bit!I went to the record store and my beautiful record store boy was there and I wasn't in there for 1 minute when the crap they were playing stopped and on came..... Dog On Wheels (oh and i thought about the Sinister maling list when I heard the opening notes,and I jsut wished some of you could've been there to sing along with me!)!!!my goodness,I tell you all...he's so lovely lovely...too much in fact,what would he want me for!Definitley the sugar-plum moment for that weekend... Anyways.....are there actually B&S singles? I thought I heard somebody talk about Century Of Fakers single..what are the b-sides? And ok..more questions.You are a lovely boy working in a lovely record store and you listen to lvoely Belle And Sebastian,what else do you listen to? I sadly cannot go to the band internet chat.It just won't work for me,but i get to go to a Portishead concert that day. Someone must constantly remind Stuart David he is a smoochable cutie. *whoops there goes the strength of two knees!* I love you all! xoxo Genevieve ;) ...some people are just made to kiss out in pouring rain on the city streets in the evening.... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Bad Vibes
by Edd 22 Feb '98

22 Feb '98

Just reading the last digest or so and there seemed to be toooo much anger about someone who hates B & S - so what?, just ignore them, don't waste time & effort e-mailing them! An idea that just came up though..... "10 reasons to hate Elton John..." ...discuss.... Kinda just cancels out my first comment though! Oh well...rock'n'roll......

In a message dated 98-02-22 11:43:59 EST, you write: << I'm quite new to the list, so tell me if this has already been mentioned or not, but listen to the begining of Fox in the Snow straight after We Rule the School and you will hear that they are actually quite similar, in fact maybe even too similar... >> No wonder I love them both so much!!! And the lovely happy sounds of "Your Just A Baby"! But, honestly, I don't see the similarity as being that strong...just that they are both brilliant songs. And I am definately a happy bunny now! If anyone preferably in the US due to postage needs a copy of Tigermilk, I'm your girl. Jeni ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
