Sinister: what's your sign?
by MWaggner 18 Apr '98

18 Apr '98

I paused for the required amount of time before sending, I really did. Honest. Apologies to anyone offended, in advance. I just couldn't resist passing it on once it arrived. Horoscopes Aquarius (Jan 23-Feb 22) You have an inventive mind and are inclined to be progressive. You lie a great deal. You make the same mistakes repeatedly because you are stupid. Everyone thinks you are a fucking jerk. Pisces (Feb 23- Mar 22) You are a pioneer type and think most people are dickheads. You are quick to reprimand, impatient and full of advice. You do nothing but piss-off everyone you come in contact with. You are a prick. Aries (Mar 23 - April 22) You have a wild imagination and often think you are being followed by the FBI or CIA. You have minor influence on your friends and people resent you for flaunting your power. You lack confidence and are a general dipshit. Taurus (April 23- May 22) You are practical and persistent. You have a dogged determination and work like hell. Most people think you are stubborn and bullheaded. You are nothing but a goddamned communist. Gemini (May 23- June 22) You are a quick and intelligent thinker. People like you because you are bisexual. You are inclined to expect too much for too little. This means you are a cheap bastard. Geminis are notorious for thriving on incest. Cancer (June 23- July 22) You are sympathetic and understanding to other people's problems, which makes you a sucker. You are always putting things off. That is why you will always be on welfare and won't be worth a shit. Everyone in prison is a Cancer. Leo (July 23-Aug 22) You consider yourself a born leader. Others think you are an idiot. Most Leos are bullies. You are vain and cannot tolerate criticism. Your arrogance is disgusting. Leo people are thieving motherfuckers and enjoy masturbation more than sex. Virgo (Aug 23 - Sept 22) You are the logical type and hate disorder. Your shit-picking attitude is sickening to your friends and co-workers. You are cold and unemotional and often fall asleep while fucking. Virgos make good bus drivers and pimps. Libra (Sept 23- Oct 22) You are the artistic type and have a difficult time dealing with reality. If you are a male you are probably queer. Chances for employment and monetary gain are nil. Most Libra women are whores. All Libras die of venereal disease. Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 22) You are the worst of the lot. You are shrewd in business and cannot be trusted. You shall achieve the pinnacle of success because of your total lack of ethics. You are the perfect son-of-a-bitch. Most Scorpios are murdered. Sagittarius (Nov 23- Dec 22) You are optimistic and enthusiastic. You have a reckless tendency to rely on your luck since you have no talent. The majority of Sagittarians are drunks. You are a worthless piece of shit. Capricorn (Dec 23- Jan 22) You are conservative and afraid of taking risks. You are basically chickenshit. There has never been a Capricorn of any importance. You should kill yourself. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Ahhhh! Just finished typing up my very important, if you don't pass this we chuck you out, essay, whos progress was somewhat hampered today by edinburgh university library catching fire, no seriously it did , at about half 12 so I wandered of home listening to my tape of arab strap off the radio last night, only to suffer at the hands, or rather tongue of my dog, who likes to make things wet when you are trying to work. The strange thing is i have been in 2 university libraries in my life and both of them have been evacuated coz of fires. Anyway, it really is lovely the way that all the edinburgh folk seem to be posting now, it must be the weather. Colin Campbell, from edinburgh, but studying medicine in aberdeen, 19 years old, likes to wear blue, pisces march 15. Prefers dark chocolate. drinks lots of coffee doesn't get enough sleep, is frequently too drunk. bye oh yeh, a guy i went to school with's brother had the proclaimers on his paper round. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: getting drunk in the sun
by blink＠inexpress.net 17 Apr '98

17 Apr '98

Hello sweeties... Yess yes yes type that Arab Strap interview up! I finally got to listen to them a couple days ago..I couldn't stop doing lobster dance and going 'eets offeeecialy summmah!' But they aren't that naughty are they? I mean 'corn was funny,i hope you were joking' ??? that VOICE!! Rrrrrrrrrrowwwww (spesh that 'honest with ye' bit) How come everyone but me is either out kissing/drinking/going to see them? I want to go out drinking with Arab Strap. But I can tell the difference in dreams when I listen to them compare to B&S..whenever I listen to B&S Stuart Murdoch always appear and spiritual guide in a lumberjack shirt,where with Arab Strap I dream as a joke I'd sneak up on my friend in the dark and surprise her and instead of her thinking it was funny,she snapped her fingers and 2 guys in scary masks appear and tied my legs together and my arms together and tied me to a tree..oh it sounds dumb now but at the time it was VERY scary I was like 'No no not the highest branch,it'll break off and I'll fall!' oh you talk about B&S moments,I had one today1...well I was actually reading a book,on the bus and errrrrh...I had to sit with '1+1= Truckpull' boy...Hello just because the word 'naked' is in it doesn't mean I have to hear your pervy hick jokes..(and it's not even 'moo moo buckeroo' it's MOO,just plain MOO) And why do they have to grab your leg in order to speak with you? shudder shudder shudder... now i have a new thing to do in an english a 'ship wrecked theme' my 'brainstorming' was "i am alone on an island i look to my right i see brett anderson and i am content palm trees blowing in the wind please pass the coconuts Stuart thankyou" my teacher asked me about the names then he told me i couldn't have any men with me..damn him!!! I was looking forward to this,yes Neil Codling would build me a throne and Brett would wave the palm tree branches so i would not get too hot while I make Stuart David distill the water,and can he object? NO! or else i'll send my henchmen after him,and record store boy can polish my nails.And there is many many more,i don't understand what is wrong about this,but he says i have show survival..but that is...in a way,a very creative way for me to survive on an island. one day of sun and the grass has gone from yellowy to a brilliante green!lovely! smooch, Genevieve ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: sinister: na na na na na na BATMAN!!!!!!
by Suzanne Schroeder 17 Apr '98

17 Apr '98

Alan Prior quoth: >"Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb!" - Batman heh heh heh. God I loved that scene. I liked it when they wore Batskivies when it was cold. I liked to watch batman do his sexy dance. I loved it when Burt Ward reminded me of Dan Quayle (to look at). I could imagine Qualye donning the cape and running around cabinet meetings yelling "Holey underwear, Batman, we've got to stop those pesky Iraqis!" and turning into his daily disguise as National Guard Putz and crying in the corner. That was his genius. Hussein would never suspect that it was Quayle all along. Also, I sat for hours with my friends trying to find blatant sexual innnuendos in everything they said. Viva Adam West! s.s. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Oh no, not him back again...
by The Tall Git 17 Apr '98

17 Apr '98

OK, this didn't seem to get through last time I sent it for some reason, so I'll try again. So sorry if you just got a post apologising for the non-B&S content of a post you hadn't got yet... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 17 Apr 1998 21:27:55 +0100 (BST) From: The Tall Git <skg21(a)hermes.cam.ac.uk> Cc: B&S mailing list <sinister(a)majordomo.net> Subject: Oh no, not him back again... Hello peeps! Just back from the Easter break, so a few threads to reply to (actually that's not true, I got back on Tuesday, but it's taken me until now to get through the 600 postings while I've been away. Someone remind me to unsubscribe next time...) I don't think there are any songs that make me cry, however sad they are. Maybe I'm just hardhearted. The only things that bring tears to my eyes are happy things; a really good joke, or someone receiveing some really good news, or somthing like that. I'm sure when England score the winning goal in the World Cup Final I'll be crying my eyes out... I find sad songs don't make me miserable, they comfort me (at least the ones which have any effect on me at all do). Exit Music by Radiohead is a prime example. As for the happiest song I know, the one that makes me grin inanely has to be "Looks, Looks, Looks" by Sparks; even though the lyrics are slightly trajic, the music is just so cheerful I can't help smiling. Duke, is it your birthday today? If so, have a good one! (not that I don't want you to have a good one anyway, of course, but you know what I mean...) Sarah, can I join in with your cheerleading squad? I need something to distract me from my finals. I'll need extra-large pompoms though... Oh yeah, I had another Sinister listee dream about a week ago. But I'm not saying who, because it would push my sleaze score up ;-} I was going to send you all an ink polaroid at this point of what I did over Easter, but my film ran out. Is the London picnic going ahead in a fortnight? I'll bring a frisbee and lots of chocolate. I could probably bring a volleyball net & ball as well if you want... Wish I could get to the Glasgow one, but I'll be in the Netherlands with a coachload of student korfballers for the weekend, and probably too drunk to care! Oh yeah, and has anyone heard the new Superstar album? Is it any good? Stuart G (Northy, RIP. ~) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: True Love, Sampras Thirty
by The Tall Git 17 Apr '98

17 Apr '98

To attone for my previous completely non-B&S post, here's one that is. B&S-related, that is, not non-B&S. But you probably guessed that. Oh well. I would just like to say that I think "Wrong Love" is one of the best things they've done. A simply beautiful tune, both melody and harmony. I know other songs have been written in the same vain, but I can't think of any that have been done better. It's the best song I've heard since "Sleep The Clock Around" (and "Sleep The Clock Around" is the best thing I've heard since, well, since last time I listened to it probably; and if it isn't a top ten single by the end of the year there is no justice in the world). It's the kind of song I reckon is perfect to fall in love to (admittedly I don't actually have anyone to fall in love with at the moment, but if I do ever find my very own cute-record-store-girl I'm sure I would want to fall in love with her to it). Having said that, I was disappointed to discover after a few listens to it that the first line wasn't in fact "I went looking for McDonald's I went looking for a sign". Two questions though: If Stevie wrote it specially for the session, does that mean it will probably never be released? Because that would be an awful waste of a good song. Also, Steve Lamacq was going on about how they'd managed to fit 7 members of B&S in the tour bus to record it; so who wasn't there?

Sinister: living room party saturday
by Pam Berry 17 Apr '98

17 Apr '98

hi all, no, I don't mean alistair's living room (I wish!), speaking of which let's have some more details about the jasmine minksesque goings on, shall we? like for instance, was it jasmine minksesque at all? spill the beans, somebody. the paper where I work is hosting the alternative newsweeklies convention this year, all the city papers in the u.s. are coming to our town for a hellish four days in june, and I've just ordered three life-size cardboard stand-ups of the prez, hillary, and newt gingrich for this polaroid thing we're doing like all the tourists do in front of the white house, except it won't be in front of the white house and we'll be partaking of an open bar at the time. do we have fun in dc or what? don't answer that. I've got a catalog here in front of me, you should see all the people you can order in the beauty of 2-D cardboard. sorry, #95 sarah martin and #291 stuart murdoch are out of stock. I tried, I really did try to make this convention b&s-related. so we're having a party in mt. pleasant tomorrow night and those in the dc/maryland/virginia area who didn't get my private message about it (I know I don't have all of your addresses) please do stop by! there will be plenty of booze and snacks and your fellow listee dina's band is playing in the living room along with four other great pop bands that hardly ever play out! it's all quite exciting. e-mail me at home for directions and info. have a good weekend, everyone! pam plb(a)tiac.net ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Balderdash!
by PJMiller 17 Apr '98

17 Apr '98

Introduction: Hi, I'm Peter and I'm 29 years of age. Today isn't my birthday, ha ha ha ha ha ha! I'm a part-time cabaret artiste and translator of tourist information, which you'll soon all be able to click on on the web. I'll even have my own little Union Jack! I'm just listening to my favourite piece of music of all time, a track by Gene Ammons called "Jug Eyes". What a funny title! I'm also one of the world's leading reggae authorities. Andy Dean Tribute: Thanks for sending in that interview, old chap. I've been waiting a long time to see it. I thought it made entertaining reading, and wasn't as much of a slagging as I had expected. I mean, the journalist came out of it looking a lot dafter than the band, whose jokes were well up to standard, at least round here. Stuart Murdoch must be well chuffed with that line about leaping into the driver's seat and speeding off round the corner, Bobby Gillespie would kill for a bit of press like that. Arab Strap: There is a review of our second favourite band's new album in the NME. It sounds suitably rude, and there's a nudie pic of that Aidan bloke on it, and an ex-girlfriend. I wonder if it's one of the literally thousands of girls who've written in to the list to tell us all about what it's like to snog him in Falkirk? Hmmm. Here's the URL, give it a whirl: http://www.nme.com/soundcellar/reviews/arab.html Peter ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Cornwall (No B&S)
by Gregg Ogorzelec 17 Apr '98

17 Apr '98

The D&D of H's posty cards from the unknown land of Corn(in my experience) reraised my interest in that lit'l hunk of rock in the water. What's it all about? I don't know much about it except that it's got a recording studio there and folky-type musicians have lived their. My experience of the jolly ol' mama land is limited to London and the Midlands and since it seems I suffer from the same myopic malady that many 'mericans have, I've only heard a bit about it. It sure does sound cool in my mind. Is it like Maine or Nova Scotia? Somebody help. Too much sun in LA-la land, GreggO ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
