>Since SARAH has given me no word as to whether I may join the >cheerleading squad, I am starting a new movement.

I know GENEVEIVE and I are both photographers, and >I think there is someone here who works at a lab, so I nominate us to >head the SINISTER PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB. Those of you with instruments can be >the SINISTER MARCHING BAND. We could also have sports teams and such. >Maybe an environmental club also? And a drama club? What else? >So who's joining what? Everyone should form their own clubs, and, in true >joiner spirit, anyone can join any club. Yay! I'm a photographer, and I also play the flute. I like this joiner spirit, although perhaps we can have a Sinister Band, just regular without the marching, for those of us who can't even walk and chew gum at the same time, let alone try and tackle an instrument and march. We should maybe have a Sinister Jazz Ensemble, so that guitarists and bass players don't feel left out. Oh, and of course, the Sinister Yearbook, or the Sinister Newspaper, or both, so that they can be filled up with real photos and Ink Polaroids and essays and poems, and maybe a little 'Want Ads' section in the back for people who would like Tigermilk taped, and then a parallel list of those who are willing to do the deed. >Where are the rest of the Americans? Maybe we've been hiding out because >we don't understand such terms as "crikey?" I'm Canadian (Toronto's my home), and I've just been hiding due to shyness and homework. I quite enjoy the overwhelming British-ness of some of the messages...using foreign terms comes across as more passionate, I think. Well, sometimes, anyways. Us North Americans are just jealous because we can't say flash things like 'crikey' or 'I'll give him a ring' or 'on the telly' without looking pretentious, and British folk pass them off with such ease. Lucky ducks. On a tangent, has anyone made their own Belle and Sebastianopoly? I keep thinking about it, and what a hit it would be. This was fun. Perhaps I'll post more often. truly, jessicaxo ***************************************************************** Someone had spied on us, I suppose, as we sat beside the canal and ate the sandwiches, drinking not even orangeade or Coca-Cola but hot milk out of a thermos. **************************************************************** t i n y s t a r @ w o r l d y . c o m ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: fan club site news
by blue soda 21 Apr '98

21 Apr '98

just to let you all know that the fan club site now has a mirror location, this is dua to our main server being updated over the next few weeks which will cause delays and possible failed connections. anyhow, the mirror belongs to the same company but is slightly faster and more reliable, so should you fail to reach one address, just try the other. this is important because all of the picnic details that i've received will be up this afternoon/evening. anyhow the urls are: http://www.totalweb.co.uk/bluesoda/ http://www.myspace.co.uk/bluesoda/ again, if the first one doesn't work try the second, also, it's a good idea to create a second bookmark if you have the site bookmarked, as you may not remember the url when you need it most. thanks david kitchen -- ****************************************************************** belle and sebastian fan club mailto:d.kitchen@virgin.net or mailto:bluesoda@totalweb.co.uk ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: In Stockholm, no-one can hear you rule
by mctag＠mcmail.com 20 Apr '98

20 Apr '98

So, did you miss me? Once again, I've left my heart in Stockholm (and maybe my liver as well). Now I'm back at work, wading through a million digests. You didn't really expect a postcard, did you? I was far too busy enjoying myself, I'm afraid. So maybe a couple of Swedish ink polaroids are in order. This one is at my new mate Jeri's flat in Stockholm, the first night away. Marse and I have been drinking as nature ended for some time, leading me to declare that "indie kids are all wankers", while professing a deep love of Judas Priest. Three other (somewhat more sober) people are watching, looking at Marcus who is attempting to get a rug to levitate, while explaining that we don't need a taxi cos "we can get home by magic carpet". I probably believe him. This is me playing records to an uncaring public. Every time I go to my drink, it has been mysteriously refilled. As a result I have just played one of my favourite Northern Soul stompers at the wrong speed, to slyly sneak the volume up while the staff aren't looking, and to attempt to segue "Up town top rankin" into "Dylan in the movies". Strangely, although at the bar itself the music is deafening, the only other part of the place where any music can be heard is the toilet. This is one of Anna in Copenhagen. She is bent double with hysterical laughter. This is because I have just attempting to ask a passer-by for directions by raising my finger ET-style and saying "Excuse me" in a nervous falsetto. Other highlights included seeing Make Up in Lund, who were just fantastic, discovering a Scottish punk band called Oi! Polloi! were playing in Stockholm, seeing "Austin Powers" which ruled; meeting someone in Malmo who was such a serious raver he could dance to advertising jingles, and well, just being in my favourite country. I never did get to meet Andreas (sorry), but hello to Stefan and the mysterious Irish listee I met at Folkhammet, and most of all to Tyskan, because she rules. It snowed, but we didn't see any foxes. We did, however, spend 15 minutes watching two dogs shagging in Kristiania. It was dead romantic. Love Tag xx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Spinach Dip Polaroid
by Thaian N Ton 20 Apr '98

20 Apr '98

Hello All: I thought I'd let you see this ink polaroid so you can join in on Pam Berry's very cool living room party : It's saturday night, and i'm in pam's grand old place in dc. i'm slightly tipsy due to a wee bit of vodka i laced with ginger ale. i'm smirking cos i'm standing outside on the porch, eyeing the spinach dip sitting on the kitchen counter. i'm scrunching up my face cos i'm trying to think of an opportune moment to dash in and stuff my fat face with this deliciously stuffed bread. as i dash in there, i find myself surrounded by young hipsters, and i'm talking about sharing grape seeds with them, while continually dipping my bread in this spinach dip that i can't stop eating. suddenly i spy the 'pigs in a blanket' sitting on the counter as well. i get so excited i nearly spill my drink as i'm heading that way. then pam plays the lovely, lovely music and as 'dog on wheels' is blasting out, we're all dancing the night away like dancing fools. well, that was my show & tell for the day. a big big cheer to Pam Berry & the party that was oh so joyous. ta ta, keep singing the b&s (i've made a convert now... big count: 2) wee chi chi (thai-an) xxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: The Monday Fox
by PJMiller 20 Apr '98

20 Apr '98

Foxy Loxy wrinkled his nose and scratched his scrotum in befuddled dejection. Where could it be? It was no good; his library card was nowhere to be found. What a puzzling palaver.... Foxy Loxy replaced his testicles and rummaged around in the back of his wardrobe until he found his reading spectacles, a family heirloom passed down from Fox to Fox for centuries. He perched them on his snout and sneaked an admiring glance at himself in his antique looking-glass: "What a sly old cunt you are, Foxy!" he thought, and licked his lips in anticipation. More from Foxy Loxy next week. Welcome back Big Tackles Brad Ford and Mitchell Mitchell! Hey gang, let's all go to the Chicago picnic! There are rumours afoot that Big Arthur Bergman will be wielding his spatulas at the barbeque! Now THAT'S what I call big tackle!
