Sinister: The Wednesday Poem

Hooray, A list full of revelry and jollity. Stuart wrote: >> this guy at my school,he's very odd...everything ahs to be kinky for >> him you know? ok..I'm just this silly little person..but somehow..he got in >> his head..as soon as i step through the dor and at home,bam! i am Dark >> Mistress and some odd kinky queen.. > >You've just made Tag's day... Not me. I'm vice-free. Consider that the Wednesday poem. Risso wrote of the untimely death of Falco. This came as a great shock to me, as you can imagine. He also wrote: >I ripped off my tits on Stella for the first time and snogged a French lass Now I shed a tear, but I didn't go that far. >PS. Does this count as "Doing a Northy?" or is it more of a "Steaming pile of >Begbie?" Now that was unkind. Who put these cruel ideas in your head? The small, yet mighty Olla wrote: >Dont any of you ever read crap literature? I certainly do, I read "On the road", "American Psycho", "Zen and the art of blahdeblah", "Naked Lunch" and some things by J.G.Ballard and Henry Miller and they were all totally crap. "Be my baby" by the Ronnie Spector and the book of the film of "Gregory's Girl" are far, far better. Keith "Smorgasbord" Watson wrote: >Independent as FUCK say the hip hop loving flow experts about bored people >"Belle and Sebastian". Glasgow skyscrapers - watch out. An A+R man said to >me at their concert. "If you're feeling sinister" feels your balls! Vaguely, >their melodies have the texture of underwear. Luddites from Scotland are >fantastic. >Well Tag, you asked me if I understood it... I was really hoping someone would do that, and the smart money was on Keith. A truly remarkable man - he can't read, but his Swedish is faultless. Don Pedro Miller Garcia Marquez wrote: >One other thing: As far as I am aware, no one has repoted back about >Trousers' Big Night Out. How did the Poetry Society regulars react to an >indie-schmindie invasion? At the risk of making Paul blub with jealousy, Trousers' Big Night Out was a trouser-busting success. We all got splendidly drunk (except Andy Dean, who nursed his ribena like a trooper, and then whipped our skinny butts at scrabble to prove he was sober), Susannah did a little dance with Peter Peter The Opium eater's hat (whoever he was), I snored "like Krakatoa" and vogued in my sleep, James from that band on Jeepster (Sulaka?) put Snow Patrol stickers on belisha beacons across the length and breadth of Central London, we all made cheap double-entendres at Katrina's expense, and had a lovely time, even though David had to go to work in the morning. >Come on kids! Get your questions for Mister Murdoch in! I want to ask Sarah if she can curl her tongue cos some people can and some people can't, and I dunno, I'm just kind of curious. I want to know if Stuart has an innie or an outie tummy button, if Chris likes sprouts, Richard can pat his head and rub his stomach at the same time. I'd also like to know if Sarah can touch her ears with her feet, again just out of curiosity. I mean, you know, it's a useful skill to have ... That's your lot. I love you, yes ... even you.

My point actually was I had just read a damning account of another listee(Northy) by someone who actually knows him in real life, and I thought that posting stuff of that ilk was just right out of order. I can just imagine my flatmate coming onto the list and saying " Susannah is in fact a cow in real life, she never does the washing up" In retrospect, maybe I actually commited almost said crime myself. My punishment will be three consecutive nights in the Radiohead chat room. Susannah. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Genevieve on Brian Molko from Placebo: >It's really his voice,he doesn't sing..he squeak like writhing rat with >poison tonsils....and the music..well we won't get into that.. Bloody hell!! what an incredibly vivid (and rather disturbing) image. I had just thought he sounded like somebody from Yes or REO Speedwagon -almost as repulsive and enough to put me right off. Hey Keith! - At The Egg last Saturday: Just what connection with B&S did that bunch of freeloaders have? After letting them in for free past an enormous queue at your drunken insistence, I didn't get as much as a thankyou - not a peep!

Sinister: Her daddy was a bank robber (NBS)
by Samiam 11 Feb '98

11 Feb '98

Now someone mentioned they'd like to hear some band recommendations. I have two, one you've probably not heard of and one you probably have heard. The first is Red House Painters. They are from San Francisco, play mostly acoustic, very melancholic songs. They sound a lot like Nick Drake, but I like them much more. The second band I recommend is the Trash Can Sinatras. They sound like a cross between Aztec Camera and Smiths. The lyrics are filled with witty double meanings and word play. I was in a pub a few days ago and heard a PIL song I hadn't heard in ages. The chorus goes 'may the road rise with you' and 'anger is an energy' or something like that. What is the name of that song. Poor 'old' Johnny...I heard Sid Vicisous' version of Sinatras 'My Way' the other day, rather interesting. The Bluebells are currently in the cd player, when was the last time you heard that name? What do you all think of the Wild Swans? Samiam ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: completely sinister
by Suzanne Schroeder 11 Feb '98

11 Feb '98

wow...nouvelle vague, dreams, and velvet underground. I had a dream about B&S a while back. I can't remember the details, but I do know the lead singer was sitting behind me in the bleachers at an assymbly in the school gym. Middle school, I think. The subject of the meeting had something to do with empowering yourself ( you know, those useless pep talks from speakers who travel around to different schools trying to make a difference in everyone's life when in fact, everyone is making fun of them for being such a dork. At that age, you want people to tell you smoking is cool). But why middleschool? I haven't mentally visited that area in some time. Sure, I still go through the whole angst crisis of "I don't like my clothes" or "these people REALLY aren't my friends" but to have the lead singer sitting behind me not saying a word through that event is really strange. I got the idea that he was figuratively "behind me" in what I did. Hell, that might scare him if he ever reads these messages. I swear I'm not going to write him for emotional support or to borrow money! I want to do a confession though. I was amused by people shamefully admitting that they had Oasis in their CD collection. I can outdo that. I still have in my collection (before I became musically cool): Green Day Ace of Base Celine Dion. I tried to get rid of these at the 2nd hand shop, but nobody would take them. Thank God they took my Gin Blossoms CD. __________ Suzanne ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Re:Acid House
by LISA BERRY 11 Feb '98

11 Feb '98

Yeah - The Acid House is a great book - my favourite story in it is "Last Resort On The Adriatic" although my flatmate doesn't agree, and probably no-one else will either! I also liked Marabou Stork Nightmares - except I found it really difficult to read the rape parts. Some of Ecstasy was good, but overall it wasn't as good as his previous books. Um......no B&S content WHATSOEVER - feel free to delete this message straight away..... Lots of love from Lisa XXX ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Besides, I've grown accustomed to (and I think I'd now rather hear some more) discussions about pretentious garbage and posts which appear to be meant for someone's personal diary.

Hi Belle and Sebastian are one of the best groups to break through last year (if not the best). Any news on the new single or album, and how about them coming to Sheffield (for a change)?
