Sinister: sad songs etc blah blah
by Andrew James Bonar 14 Apr '98

14 Apr '98

Hi Everyone, Having made my posting to the list with a not entirely original thought concerning fraggles and doozers and all that stuff, I thought I'd rack my rather fluff-filled brain to come up with my own wee list of sad songs. OK, here goes: THE GO-BETWEENS : The Wrong Road THE TRIFFIDS : Red Pony THE DIVINE COMEDY : The Summerhouse COCTEAU TWINS : Bluebeard TELEVISION : Guiding Light B&S : The State I'm In BLUETONES : The Fountainhead JULIAN COPE : Laughing Boy MORRISSEY : I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday ASSOCIATES : Transport To Central N.B These aren't really in any kind of order, and some of them don't always make me sad, but if I was played all of the above songs one after the other, I'd be a WRECK at the end of it all. Oh my gawd, just thinking about it makes me so-SNIFF!! SNIFF!!-sad.... Right, enough already. I'm making a right twat of maself. Bye-bye, A.J. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

I can't help it..it's a weekday..and I'm not sick and I'm home..it feels unnaturale...and there's no one here!!All 5 cats are lying in the sun,and they are so used to me jumping up and down and doing little dance to song they just continue sleeping... .....feelings...woah woah....feelings....

Sinister: Sad story
by graham thomson 14 Apr '98

14 Apr '98

It was a cold Novembers night if I remember correctly, I was tucked up under the warmth of my covers, besides me the radio was on. It was the old 1fm gravyard slot brought to you by Mark Radcliff and Marc Riely (aka LARD). They had a new band in session, a wonderfull new band. A band that sounded different to the norm, they were neither Nirvana or Mega-Death influenced and one of their number even asked the listeners for help with an essay he had. Finally just before 12pm the band played their last track "If Your Feeling Sinister." This track was a master peice. I just had to get the album... "So how do you get a copy of your album" said the radio preseter "Well, we are all sold out" replied the band member Alll soolllddd out, never I could't belive that no, not this record, no, never. Why this record why not the entier BoyZone back catolouge!! Ach well I thought to myself. Somebody will have it and sell it. The very next day I started the process of finding a copy. I placed an add on a forum. I mailed all the record companies on the net. I went round every record store looking. Not a thing, nothing. I cried myself to sleep that night. Every time I walk into a record store I go first to the Vinal section then I ask the man behind the desk. Always the same reply, always NO!! Good people of this news group, I need you help!!! PLEASE Please, if you have a copy of Tiger milk, would you put it onto a tape and send it to me, PLEASE I beg you!! Yours with regards john thomson ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Pistols, daily, plastic, reading, 75%, swearwords
by Keith Watson 14 Apr '98

14 Apr '98

>And a funny website, just like Roddd's to boot! Is it still up and running, >Chris? If not, can you remember any of the jokes? It would be nice to have a >funny website showdown between yourself and Rodddd, wouldn't it? That's a fantastic idea Peter, they can both spruce up their funny websites and we can all have a vote as to whose website was the funniest, Chris Leonard's, or Rodddddney's. I can see it now, it'll be like pistols at dawn. >Sorry to hear about your poorly leg, Keith. Rub it better. Peter, I've been rubbing it on a daily basis, but it's swollen up to far larger than usual, however after a weekend of not "pogoing" around on it (one for these crazy punks out there) it appears to be healing. Thank God - I feel like a human being again, after having been legless for nearly a week. I'm surprised to see that we haven't had a mail from Sweden from Tag yet, although perhaps he hasn't got his "plastic pal" with him, that's no excuse though cause Trousers managed to send an anonymous mail from an Internet Saddo Cafe this morning to the list. I think it's about time we received a postcard from Sweden. Chris, I'm afraid at the moment, I can't really steep in a hot bath, cause the bath in our flat is akin to the large swimming pools full of sewage that there are at the back of the Glastonbury festival, so I'm afraid I'll just have to suffer on my poor aching leg. Well, the picnic is getting nearer... and I just want to mention to the people who are reading this NO-ONE, yes NO-ONE WILL TELL ANY OF MY FRIENDS I'M GOING TO A BLOODY PICNIC IN THE PARK... RIGHT. One final thing, my friend Simon assures me that 75% of his interview with Arab Strap is entriely unprintable, but we're going to do the decent thing and print it to the Belle and Sebastian list cause I suspect some people will be interested as they have close ties with Belle and Sebastian, and others will just be interested cause the piece is liable to be laced with crudities and swearwords. Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Buses/Fraggles
by Anna Johansson 14 Apr '98

14 Apr '98

Hello! I thought I'd try to overcome my shyness and write something to Sinister, because I decided that you were all really nice people and wouldn't send wolves after me (which I guess, would be king of interesting, the only animal that's ever chased me was a rooster, but to be honest I think that was horrible enough, I've still got a scar and a phobia). Yesterday, I was sitting on a bus, going home from my parents, where I've spent a few days avoiding eating eggs (hey! maybe I don't like eggs because of the rooster-incident! psychology here I come!) and I heard B&S singing about riding on city buses, and well I've heard this many time before, but somehow I've never listened to it before, because that very moment I realised that riding on city buses (although yesterday it wasn't a city bus) is one of my very few hobbies, I guess it is kind of sad, going nowhere on a bus in the dark, but nothing makes me feel better, happier, sadder or whatever I may be. Last time I listened to B&S on a bus I almost cried, but then I didn't. If I could play my own music all the time, I think being a bus driver is one of my dream jobs, but, since I haven't even got a driver's license I guess I will have to be happy just riding buses every now and then, which maybe is even nicer, since you can just sit there, looking out and in (if you look at your window, then sometimes you can see the reflection of the people across the isle, and you can watch them as much as you like without them ever noticing) and you don't have to look up every now and the and say "tio kronor" (which is what it costs here in Sweden) to some old lady. Speaking of the fraggles, I always dreamed about eating that sugary stuff the little people were building, I still remember what I imagined it would taste like, and it wasn't really that great, but the consistency was wonderful and oh, when I think of it today I still want to taste it just as much. Anybody got the recipe? Buss och kram (if there is anyone who understands Swedish here I deeply apoplogise for using buss och kram, I did it against better judgement and hope to grow wiser in the future...) Anna. P.S. Sorry Rory, I'm not that Anna Johansson, but helloo anyway! At birth in Sweden, all Anna Johansson:s must sign a document saying they'll grow up to be (almost all the time) nice people, so I don't have a clue who you are but I'm (almost) garanteed to be nice! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: A Tuesday Poem from the frozen north
by someone 14 Apr '98

14 Apr '98

Hallo spaceboys What a lovely weekend, spent stalking oddball popsters in glasgow and edinburgh. No sightings, unfortunately, but meeting various members of the scottish sinister contingent more than made up for it. Anne, Keith, Paul and Linda: you rule, obviously. Being 500 miles from home obviously meant i was delayed in getting the pweekly poem together for yesterday, but this morning i trekked through the snow drifts to find a lovely internet cafe, so that you all need not be deprived of your weekly fix. this week's poem is by a scottish poet, appropriately enough... Don Paterson won the TS Eliot prize earlier this year for his collection "God's Gift to Women". This poem is from his first collection, "Nil, Nil". Don Paterson Heliographer I thought we were sitting in the sky. My father decoded the world beneath: our tenement, the rival football grounds, the long bridges slung out across the river. Then I gave myself a fright with the lemonade bottle. Clunk - the glass thread butting my teeth as I bolted my mouth to the lip. Naw... copy me. It's how the grown-ups drink. Propped in my shaky, single-handed grip, I tilted the bottle towards the sun until it detonated with light, my lips pursed like a trumpeters ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

What a coincidence! I mean, what are the odds? Christopher Leonard knows Mitchell Fraser! A person with two christian names and no surname knows a person with two surnames and no christian name! And to top it all, they're both romantically involved with Keith! And a funny website, just like Roddd's to boot! Is it still up and running, Chris? If not, can you remember any of the jokes? It would be nice to have a funny website showdown between yourself and Rodddd, wouldn't it? Sorry to hear about your poorly leg, Keith. Rub it better. B&S dreamtime: To cut a long story short, they all lived in the same house and had some kind of wierd chemical toilet under the stairs. Then there was another one with just Sturat M in it. he lived in a house at the top of a hill that took ages to climb up, but no time at all to get back down again, even without the aid of a go-kart or anything like that, and there was a pub at the bottom.
