Well hello! Here's a new face for you! Silly me, you can't even see my face, but well I'll try to draw it the best I can :) there you go, but of course sometimes it's more like :( and sometimes even in between. If you ever wake me up in the morning, it looks like this %& but I really hope you won't ever have to see that. So maybe I should just quickly tell you a little bit about myself: I live in the country of polarbears, professional snowball-fighters and people with funny intonation when they speak English; Sweden! (But you'd already guessed that hadn't you?) At the moment I study at the University of Lund in the south of Sweden (and to be honest I can'd see a single snowflake when I look out the window, but I couldn't very well tell you that and ruin your image of Sweden? Ooops, now I've done it anyway!) In the last few months I have gone completely trumpet-crazy and I keep playing the lovely trumpet-solo on Beautiful over and over again (and maybe here's some news for you ( I thought that maybe if I bribe you with information, you'll all start liking me, naah...): on the next B&S album there's supposed to be particularly lovely trumpet solos on The Gate and Dirty Dream Number Two, but maybe you all knew that?) Well, well, as usual I have been babbling on, but I'll try to keep it shorter in the future (don't believe a word I say). So long and vi ses igen!

Sinister: Right then...
by PJMiller 09 Apr '98

09 Apr '98

Now that Tag has pissed off to Sweden, I feel it would be a good time to revive an old Sinister tradition - gossiping about people behind their backs! I tried it when Paul went to France, but no one took any notice. Any takers this time around? I'm only joking of course. I have a funny feeling no one's even reading this, except our friends in Japan and Thailand, who presumably don't celebrate Easter. Which reminds me of the saddest song of all time ever: There is a Green Hill Far Away. My initiation into the world of reggae continues apace. After the dizzying heights of Yabby You and The Congos, Horace Andy feels like a bit of a letdown. Hopefully I'll get over it, it's always difficult to judge on first listens, but it seems to lack the imposing authority of Yabby You and friends, and the yearning plaintive quality of The Congos' beautiful singing. Makes me want to be repatriated. On the plus side, there's a track called "Ital Vital" that has something of a Pigeon Street vibe to it due to the prominent use of syn-drums. So my question for reggae-ologists everywhere is: What could possibly top Yabby You and The Congos? Yay! Next week I'm (hopefully) going to the Pyrenees! Of course I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for any sign of that bloodygreat St Bernard dog we all know and love. Peace List!

Sinister: What's wrong with being sexy?
by mctag＠mcmail.com 09 Apr '98

09 Apr '98

Hello You, I'm away to the land of ryvita, death metal gang warfare and Stakka Bo tomorrow. 25% of Swedish road accidents are caused by Moose, you know. And Doctor Albarn is a dentist. Last year I stayed at a couple of nights in this ace flat belonging to a my friend's metal fan sister, it was all chrome and leather. The owners weren't there, they'd gone fishing. Not very rock at all, I was quite disappointed. We played Metallica before we went out, and that set us up nicely for the evening ahead. Talking of rock, Peter wrote: >Nice to see "Goodbye to Love" get a mention. The guitar solo alone is worth >the price of admission, really superb fretwork, a proper sonic meltdown of >the kind Jimi Hendrix could only dream about. I think I'll go and listen to it now. It's a killer track, Peter. Full-on balls out RAWK. They were a real tight outfit, weren't they? Some really heavy duty axework, then lighters aloft high octane power charged anthems. I get a full-on robot chubby just thinking about it. Has anyone tried playing "If you're feeling sinister" backwards? Sinister doesn't even begin to describe it. At one point you can clearly hear Murdoch inciting us to organise a big foxhunt. "Release the hounds", he screams, like a hideous cross between Ozzy Osbourne and Monty Burns, "Tear up the fox! Bloody vermin. Worrying moi lifestock. Gerroff moi land". Goodbye, I'm going to Sweden now. Love Tag xx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

okay, would be responding to lots of mad crazy bonkers things people have been posting but there hasn't been that much lately and i've deleted most things by mistake. as usual. just can't get a handle on this technology malarky... Message text written by Rod Begbie >> so many ways of avoiding >> revision/homework... hehehe... yet another distraction; jon g sent me fingermouse pictures so i will be spending tomorrow colouring them in. >Saw Rod Hull & Emu live once at the Kings Theatre in Embra. They weren't >very good though. my sister saw Rainbow at the kings one year...oh dear. *and* jane and freddy had left by that time which would have made it ever more rubbish. >I'm still upset that he [glen michael] >didn't read out my birthday when my mum sent it in, though. bah. he didn't read mine out either. or any ones i know. maybe it was a conspiracy and he had hundreds of illegitimate children scattered around the country so he only ever read out theirs. or maybe our mums lied to us and never actually sent in the birthday cards. or maybe i'm talking crap as usual. yes, i think the third option is the most likely... >I've got about 15 >photos of me (ranging from baby to early teens) in my bag which I'm >scanning in after I've finished going through all the Sinister mail, and >which I'll put online soon. now *there's* a reason to stay in of a night if ever i heard one... who needs websites with bernard butler, nicky wire and jonny greenwood when you can sit back and bask in the wondrous delight of rod begbie's photo album...hehehe. i trust naked photos of you aged 4 in the bath will be included? c'mon, everybody's got one of them like that... why not send them to gary glitter? teeheehee. >> i went off the last album for a bit, >> 'specially as people kept singing bits out of 'Disco 2000' at me. >It's going to get worse...

Sinister: and i'm just happy to be alive
by blink＠inexpress.net 09 Apr '98

Oooh honey it's the Easter holidays!Lots o chocolate... Yeahaaaaa...finished my mock exam and I finished my 'The Meeting Of Belle And Sebastian' claymation...i umm sorta chnaged what the orginal story was..I couldn't have Belle and Sebastian running in a field of daisy forever (various limbs were starting to fall off) Soo...icky boy comes up and grabs Belle in the coffee house and she'll have none of that so she smacks him and punches him and then you see the crumpled heap which is the boy...then we have the running in a field...,they embrace,and Sebastian takes a poison flower growing from the land and they feed each other the petals and fall down,in an eternal embrace. All i gotta do is edit it now....claymation is fun but i thought i would throw the characters at chippers head so i am glad it is finished,i was playing tigermilk but my friend came up and put on nirvana instead,she thinks my music is too happy... >Date: Mon, 6 Apr 1998 21:36:37 -0400 (EDT) >From: minigo <twinkle(a)aracnet.net> >Subject: Sinister: A Hodge Podge of Things >G, you're the best! That's it, we're going to write a script for our own tv >show, starring absolutely everyone here. Yes, even you shy ones in the >corner must have a cameo or two. I had this happen twice in high school, >once with a darling Australian, and the 2nd time with a French boy who gave >me nasty looks as he smoked Gitanes in the basement hallways. > >Anyone ever dream of running into the love of their dreams on public >transit? Last year I was waiting for the subway, listening to my walkman and >wrapped up in daydreams as usual, when all of a sudden a Cute Boy tapped my >arm. I thought I must be in a John Hughes film! He asked what I was >listening to. "Nick Drake", said I. "Who are they?" asked he. Then my heart >sank and I knew it was not to be. Yes,i would so much like it if my records store boy wasa few years younger and would go to my school,i'd have to protect him though..whenever any of 'the boyz' think a guy likes me,they try and beat him up..stupide teenage boys...but we could swing down the halls listening to B&S..Last year a Spanish boy came to the school and I called him Gutensberg,no romantic interest..I jsut wanted him to be my friend..but he was scared of me and ran down the halls from me! I even wrote him a note and he told me if i could 'please be fucking of' not OFF, OF! Grrrrrr! And he signed it 'Man Of Jupiter' which I still don't understand... Hmmmm..I really only saw one boy on the street that was like 'chemistry!' I came out of the bookstore,and there he was smoking his cigarette..I kept walking,stopped almost got ran over,thought 'woah,go back there but when i went back' alas he was not there... But oh yes,on the the 37 that's where dream boy should be,but is he? No..he is going 'all de souls of thee people i have killed are inside meee ahhhh!!!Youu are my truue love!!!Livve in my castle of darkness'..so i just keep looking out the window >One last thought: when listening to B&S, are you inspired to cook anything >in particular? Perhaps everyone's not like me, but I tend to reach for the >mixing bowls instead of a guitar. Things I have made with them as soundtrack: > >- -- apricot buttermilk scones >- -- blueberry waffles w/ fruit salad & whipped cream >- -- roasted garlic, tomato & basil soup >- -- the infamous caramel brownies Oh and chocolate eclairs with custard..it take me half a day to make them,but it's worth it...! Pulp: I haven't listened to the whole thing yet but 'Dishes' is so lovely...! That song should really be about love,and not dishes,the music asks for it. And the next big project for media is a 'film noir' and i get to be a femme fatale.. Whoo sounds fun...we shall have 'This Is Hardcore' playing as a pair of legs emerge from a car...yeah,that nsaty teacher threw me out as a Draculette 'bad attitude' 'missed rehearsal' missed? I was sick!! does she expect me to just lie there contorted with pain while going 'I'm sorry the bridge is outtttt' according to YM I am supposed to look in the mirror each mornin and go 'I am all that and a bag of chips,I am all that and a bag of chips' my happy mood is fading from a movie my parents are watching in the background...'Rosewood' i think? I am feeling digust for the human race.I am feeling angry so now i will have to listen to B&S..no other band has quite teh comforting feeling....Stuart Murdoch should release of a cd of lullabies.He is so soothing. more ym quizzes are in my head....what really bothers me is their embarrasing moments...how come the school football team always happens to be there? It's always 'I was in Peru rowing a boat,when i fell into a river,and almost drowned,but when i looked up there was the football team laughing at me because my shirt came up,they could see everything,i was so embarrased' hey,thats legal in ottawa anyways... i give you my love honeychild, Genevieve ;) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
