Sinister: there must be a reason for all the looks we gave
by blink＠inexpress.net 13 Apr '98

13 Apr '98

Hello? I think i am talking to myself.. >> Anyhow, can anyone else come up with some other >> possibilities? Clarinet? Hm, there's another one... > >i tried to offer my 3 years of high-school clarinet experience to the >band ... they said no obviously. it's not that i'm a bad clarinetist or >anything though ... (oi, david ... shush!) I would love to be able to play many instruments,when i was like 3,I play 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' on my violin..but that was about it.Since I've been 8 I play piano..as my parents are both musicians and pianists..I think I disappoint them a little bit in that area..but what I want most of all is to play guitar like so many I admire...Oh...and hearing all the trumpet solos I wanted to play trumpet this year,but the music teacher is evil..next to your name on the attendence list she writes 'druggie' 'bitch' 'alcoholic' to remember you. I hope you all had a good Easter,lots of Laura Secord..I think I am the only one here right now..all you good people must be at church...but instead of going ot church me and my brother went on a lovely walk..do you know know how lovely it is to be walking miles and miles,throwing your body over barbed wire and electric fence...thorns all in your clothes to suddenly come across a bridge,i sung some B&S until my brother told me to shutup and I almost pushed him into the river.He can swim. I caught my dad watching Dawsons Creek last night! I cannot look at Dawson without laughing cause he look jsut like my friend in drama (well not the same hair) except my friend was quite silly..'hey look,I run into this wall!' 'watch me put my whole fist into my mouth' How I miss him! We were both scared of clowns and mimes.I had to do a mime once..the whole class did,but instead of pretend i was trapped in a box i pretend i had to wash dishes to pay my debt at gambling and ot make my escape i crawled throught the air ducts and then the mafia beat me,but my teacher didn't like it. I really really really love it how Stuart says 'score' in You're Just A Baby. Matthew,I would like to lie in sunshine like my cats too.My cat is being evil,whenever you try and brush him he howls and turn into Beast.So i had to feed him little pieces of bread to distract him,but then he went and rolled in the dirt anyways.Whenever he is lying in the sun I poke him in his belly and he growls.He's a beautiful cat. Person I talk to in chat one time,come back and talk to me...:) My friend got an Arab Strap cd and i be borrowing it from her soon.I quite like that Aidan. xoxox Genevieve :) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Weekend (NO CHILDREN'S TELEVISION CONTENT)
by Keith Watson 13 Apr '98

13 Apr '98

Hello Chums. Had a good weekend not dancing and trying to take care of my poor shafted leg - Matthew I don't need to fake a limp I'm afraid I've been hobbling around with one all week, still it's getting better now. A big thanks to Anne for letting us crash over at her flat which was very nice indeed, and you're indeed welcome to come over and stay here any time you like. It was ace to watch Southpark that the Americans have been going on about and it is indeed very funny. Chris Leonard, I've just discovered that my flatmate knows you. It's one of these things again, he's my new flatmate now that Grant's moved out, he's also been working in our place for the last 6 months too, he's called Mitchell Fraser, and apparently you knew him at university - and you had a funny website, just like Rodd's. However it's all back to reality now on Easter Monday, and having to work - which is poor form, we should be rolling eggs down a hill or something I'm sure. Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: random thoughts
by Suzanne Schroeder 13 Apr '98

13 Apr '98

I thin maybe the overpriced japanese dog on wheels release could mean they only gave the country so many albums. I don;t know. Since I'm in the United States, had no problem finding the album, and don't work anywhere near a record label, my thoughts are probably invalid. As much as I used to like the fraggles, I realized one day (I can't remember when, but definitely a few years ago) that the doozers are definitely a racist metaphor. Or, if we want to go tame, the bourgeois fraggles turn their nose up at the underpaid workers. Occasionally, the doozers show that they "are people too with a heart of gold" by helping out a poor trapped fraggle. Not that I stopped watching it for that reason. I find it boring these days, anyway. Why do I bring this up? I finished watching Robin Hood, Prince of Dweebs for the 1st time in 5 years with the benefit of having one too many cultural studies courses. So, I'm going off on a tangent....just for the heck of it. You know what I'm talking about. The movie or TV show that tries to show how enlightened it is by bringing the token black character on and saying "gee.....youre a minority but you're just like everyone else" and everyone wipes a tear away and we all barf, the end. It basically presents said character in very stereotypical fashion. For example, Azeem in Robin Hood is basically the wise old fatherly black man whose only worth in the film is protecting Kevin Costner and all the poor white families. Sort of like what turn of the century films such as "birth of a nation" that presented blacks in 2 forms. Either the loyal servant or the evil rebel. On the same token, doozers are about the same. They're evil unless they're of use to the fraggles, then mystically they are just like "everyone else." Then again, this is all coming from someone who generally regards Walt Disney films as some of the most racist, sexist, and stereotypical of any film out there, yet they get the aura of being harmless family movies just because our parents grew up with them. Especailly some of the later ones like Jungle to Jungle, or like Mighty ducks type movies where they've always got the fat kid running around saying "I'm hungry!" and its funny because, hey, its a fat kid and boy that fat kid can eat. s.s. ...the culturally sensitive one..... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: the spirit is willing
by PKHINTZ 12 Apr '98

12 Apr '98

I went to an Easter church service with my parents this morning. As I sat in the sanctuary, watching the sunlight move across the empty pews, noticing the wax dripping from the candles on the altar, the voice reading a prayer caught my ears. She read that "we are living in, and loving, the faith". Now as you may have noticed, I have been using a similar signoff in my emails for the past few months. Apparently some twelfth-century monk or whatever living on a mountain has "borrowed" this. I daresay--this is even more scandalous than when someone attempted a coup to become the new Trousers. I think I may have to go to church every week to notice if any other monks or disciples are using my signatures. I heard a rumor that there is someone named Matthew in the Bible too--this is becoming serious. Then, when Belle and Sebastian tour, I will take Stuart M. out for tea to discuss Calvin's principles of predestination with the modern notion of free will, or something like that. I know I often think of those things. Living and loving, because I can't do it any other way, Matthew ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: c'mon and show me what you're made of...
by blink＠inexpress.net 12 Apr '98

Hello dearies! >Genevieve - please don't get a tattoo at least not of anybody's name. >The coolest tattoo I've ever heard of was a 'friend of a friend' who had >a tattoo on his toe. It said "toe". How cool is that?? Perhaps you could >get 'bum' tattooed on your bum - that'd be great. Oh I wouldn't get anybodies name....I don't want anything flashy cause later i'll be like 'why the hell did i get this!' A tattoo on your butt is a good idea cause it's least painful... I was very upset..I was going to my friends house and the Stuart David lookalike was supposed to be over...but he couldn't go.I was going to get him to listen to Belle and Sebastian.Now that's what i call a real conversion,something I would be quite happy about...well actually,I think I made a conversion (althought..perhaps there is a better word than convert...I would prefer if they really discover it on their own terms...but with a little push like 'hey borrow this album' the rest is up to them) without realising it...I was playing a song by the go-betweens which I personally think is fantastic when suddenly Arctic Woman (mother) stops the car and goes 'this is awful! The singing,the music..ahhh the LYRICS! Awful awful!' a little bit upset I put on B & S and it was right at the beginning of Photo Jenny 'I'm in a mess I'm in a dress' Arctic Woman sighed happily 'Thankyou,some lyrics I relate with' and started singing along..this..ummm.. surprised me (Later that night I had this dream where I went into a record store..and this guy that really annoys me who works there was suddenly wearing eyeliner and ruffles like a new romantic and then AHHH..who's working there but Arctic Woman...and i'm like 'Mom! I can't believe you're working with HIM..why are you working HERE!' and he just laughs smugly and my mother turns and is like 'oh you wanted the babybird album did you?' and I ran out of the store. Oh..I had a very Belle And Sebastian moment yesterday,I walked to a part of the city which is very close..but I jsut never went there before,and I stretched out on the lovely green grass,i was a bit disturbed because from the bushes to the left of me was a lot of screaming ("you fuck off!" "no YOU fuck off you bitch!") when to the right of me a Sebastian boy was reading a book under the tree.It would've made such a lovely photograph..you know I wished I could've taken his picture but then I was afriad that I might steal the moment away from him... :) AND I met a street poet from England..from Nottingham...my friend was a little skeptical cause I think she thought he was crazy but he took my hand and told me one of the most lovely poems...'true love' I remember that but not much else and then he spent the next 10 minutes warning me about men..but he was still very nice,I would've liked to stayed and talked with him the whole afternoon....perhaps i should become a street poet and recite Belle and Sebastian to cute record store boys...*sigh* All the people who recommend Yo La Tengo..all your lovely recommendations,were not there...well one was,but I didn't have enough money for it so I got 'Ride The Tiger' instead..I'm going to listen to it later because right now the house is filled with lovely Easter music.... It's such a beautiful Easter morning! I went outside on the deck and stood up on the railing,eating my little mini chocolate eggs and breathed in the beautiful surroundings..i mean the lake is SPARKLING today..the sky is bright blue..and you can hear all the creatures of the lake..you can't see the woodpeckers but you can hear them... :) Well I really do not have much to say,I hope you all have so beautiful Easter weekends!! Love, Genevieve :) 'cause nobody loves me it's true not like YOU do' ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: B&S on the telly last week
by Jim Nisbet 12 Apr '98

12 Apr '98

Did anyone else see the compilation of bands from 'Don't Look Down' on Scottish Television last Thursday night/Friday morning? It was on quite late, so maybe not. I was pleasantly surprised to see B&S appear with I Could Be Dreaming. Whilst most bands which were featured had been doing live performances in the studio, their contribution had been filmed elsewhere (and I'm not sure whether it was live or from the album - anybody know about this?). The presenter also mentioned that Tigermilk was changing hands for £200! Oh, and wasn't it a travesty that the recent BBC Scotland review of the last 25 years of Scottish rock and pop ignored B&S as one of the new bands to look out for. They managed to mention Travis and the Supernaturals and that was it. Jim ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
