Sinister: stuart
by bradford 19 Feb '98

i think stuart might be making fun of us. or as you brits say, taking the piss. we know they read these posts and if they read them they know all the off topic futile things we discuss. not that that's a bad thing. so i think maybe he's just trying to throw in a couple more off topics to see how far we'll run with it. when i worked at a video rental store, we called the freestanding shelves kiosks. a booth is like what you'd sit in at the BK. and a cubicle is like one of those little office spaces that are made with those white removable walls. although, when i was in elementary school, a cubicle was our little box where we kept our luch and stuff. no....wait.....that was a cubbyhole. never mind. -brad ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: fellow you are ill

Dear Tigermilkerrines (and WHY NOT? (she asks defiantly) it's a better album and anyway, i never liked sinisterriones) Why have we all stopped using those wonderful little quotes from poems/ songs in our siggies? I love these. - the first time i saw one, i thought, aww, only on Belle and Sebastian... To this end, i will use a recently rediscovered quote from Mr. Paul Simon, that seems to me be speculating upon the eternal nature of life and also symbolising the relationship between it and our external, surrounding environment: **************************************************************************** **** "Hello lampost, Whatcha knowing? I've come to watch your flowers growing Aint ya got no rhymes for me? be doo be dooh bee And feeling grrrooooo-vy. [blah blah blah cant remember blah blah] Life i love you - All is... [yep you guessed it] ...grrrrroooooooooooovy." **************************************************************************** ***** heehee, Yasmin xxxxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Starting Arguments
by Barrett R 18 Feb '98

18 Feb '98

Hello all I've only been on the list a few days but I'm already going to start annoying some people by giving out about stuff I received today. So here goes.... Firstly, the wonderfully-named MCTAG sent a message around with perfectly worthy sentiments about the England football team and Man Utd. While I actually hate the latter with a vengeance that is a bit worrying, and I certainly don't have any affection for the former either, there is no need for his header comment "Always look on the runway for ice". For those of you who don't know or care about these things, this is a song that some football fans used to sing at Man U fans because of the deaths of a number of their team 40 years ago in Munich on an icy runway. Slag the Man U scummers about anything else and I'd be in complete agreement but this is just not funny. Sorry mate. Secondly, in response to Andrew Dean, it made my day to read of rumours of New Order reforming from a previous writer so some of us are interested, just as some of us seem to be interested in Brick Supply and PE Teachers the world over. Also, your snooty/snotty comment about the lad who wanted a copy of Tigermilk is a bit unfair. The fact that it was released 18 months ago doesn't mean that he had heard of B&S before last week. I thought that this sort of "I've been into the band longer than you" nonsense was banned from this list. I'm another person who hasn't heard Tigermilk and I'm sure there's plenty of others out there too. Ranting over, can I just say how much I'm enjoying reading everything - it all helps keep me sane while bored out of my head at work. One final point - the Trembling Blue Stars review that was sent around earlier was written by the same bloke (I think) that gave ...Sinister five out of ten back in Nov 96, so his taste is up his arse. Having said that, the stuff I've heard off the TBS album does sound great and I've been searching the record shops of Dublin trying to find it to no avail.

Sinister: New Order Reforming?
by Samiam 18 Feb '98

18 Feb '98

Crank up the rumour mill. I got this from a web site called PA Press. Are they legit? Sam FIRST DATE IN FIVE YEARS FOR NEW ORDER Chart-topping band New Order have announced they are to perform together again this summer for the first time in five years - their only show this year. The quartet, who have been on ice while members concentrated on careers with other bands, are one of the headline acts at the Phoenix Festival, near Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, from July 16 to 19. Speculation had been rife that New Order would not perform together again as the four members pursued their own projects. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Now I'm annoyed
by aadam＠interaccess.com 18 Feb '98

How can two of you be so daft as to answer the question, "Who's the most famous living person?" with Elvis Presley? Off topic posts are almost mandatory on this list, but please think before you send your drivel. If the postings were in jest, then why not flash us a wink, eh? I found out Sunday how to get a free copy of Tigermilk. Not a tape, mind you, one of the thousand. All ya gotta do is be in a band (preferably sporting your name), and do very well with your singles, and play in Glasgow. Then ask the audience where you can get a copy. It worked for Ben Folds, it can work for you. I'll see you at the Barrowlands with my multimillion dollar tribute to the Spice Girls entitled: _Aadam's multimillion dollar tribute to the Spice Girls and blatent vehicle for the aquisition of free copies of Tigermilk_. Yeah, that oughta do it. -- "Unfortunately, in our world, we are taught to think good what we like rather than to like what is good." - Bill Russo ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
