I greet you all. having read the sinister list for a few weeks and met some peeps through mailing them directement I thought I'd take the bright cold plunge into the land of public emailing. gerrronimooooooooooooooooooooo.......... I've just been out fer a mexican meal with a few friends and am feeling sated and replete, if a little guilty about having whiled away the day in the sun rather than trying to remove the 'Bloody bone idle' storm-cloud from aburve my head. I have stuff to do. Does anyone love the Phantom Tolbooth? Isabel Allende? or even G-love and Special sauce? Thanks, all, for the film recommendations (since a while back). Mine would be Like Water for Chocolate and House of Games, and The Conversation. Anyone in the Cambridge area, please do do do come out of your shells, we are going to have a pica nicka some day soon as soon.....even if it's only me and Chris there... from Milla-Isobel. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------ "Cold water coming for the warm water junkies" _________________________________________________________________ xx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister:transfer
by Bramleys 28 Apr '98

28 Apr '98

Yeah!! another b+s transfer today!! i was in london for the weekend with a friend and made it my mission to add at least one b+s cd to her shelf. it was 369 seconds - probably my favourite ep - and she said today how much she loved it. i didn't actually think that she'd be a lyrics appreciating person, and i was right. she said today "the words are a bit weird though". do you think that you can really appreciate them if you're not a lyrics person? i know i couldn't. i'm glad everyone's enjoying these picnics. jon and i are going to have our own one in sheffield, with food for millions of people, which should be wonderful. bethey ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Paranoia
by graham thomson 28 Apr '98

28 Apr '98

I'm not Paraniod in the conventional sence of the word, for example I don;t beleive that the CIA have ever tried to blow up a bus that I have been on. I don;t either beleive that MI5 were responsable for making the plane I was on last october catch fire. I do remember once when I was young about 8 -like half my life ago- I was sure somebody had planted a bomb under my bed. No my paranoia is much more deep and sinister. I have this reccuring dream/nightmare/sleepwalk. In the dream I am responceable for it all the end of everything, I can;t remember much about what I have done, but I know it is my fault and I can see myself in prospective to the whole universe, {very scary beleive me!!} I have to get away from the whole univerce but I know I can;t and I never do escape. What usually happens is I wake up in the middle of the night in a form of limbo, I can remember everything I do however I am not in a state to controll myself, last time I locked myself in the toilet for half an hour while my Parents tried to get me out. I told them to "FUCK OFF" eventually I came out and tried to run out the house. After that I came out of it. I rememberd everything but I was not responsable for my actions. I beleive that it is my fear of the universe and whatever controlls that gives me these dreams. I beleive that I am deeply worried about a god and infinitie and my insignificance.

Why don't we make our own Dogs on Wheels with real pooches and bits off prams ? We could push them down the hill, and laugh gaily at there puzzled expressions. It would be an hilarious farrago. regards, yerluvinuncleTurt ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Picnic fears 2

And also in the fantastic "Primrose Hill" by Madness (from their 'Sgt Pepper' , "The Rise And Fall"). I'm very pleased with myself for having bought that album when I was nine. Until about two weeks ago, I thought it had one of the loveliest lines ever in "Although I've never been there / I wish I was there still". I grew up thinking it was a beautifully nonsensical evocation of nostalgia for places and times you've never experienced. Then I realised that the 'still' bit probably didn't refer to a desire for continuation of a past never experienced, but was a pretty clumsy way of saying 'I wish I was there nonetheless'. So then it was all more logical and not so good. <sigh> Thought: how about incorporating <sigh> into the next version HTML as a logical tag? Picnic thoughts: I'm not scared of coming to the picnic because of not knowing anyone anymore - thankyou for your kind words David. However - I am scared because of the weather. Did you see the storms yesterday? What if I get struck down dead by lightning? I have a large dog on wheels that I could bring along. Then again it's at my mum's and even I got her to bring it to London when she visits this Saturday, I'd get into real trouble with my sisters if it got struck by lightning or kidnapped by rowdy kids.

Sinister: re shithead
by Henry 28 Apr '98

28 Apr '98

YES! Huw, can't remember how to play shithead but I remember its a great game. (As long as you mean that cardgame). Late book recommendation: anything by Hendrik Willem Van Loon is an extremely enjoyable read. His "Lives" is my alltime favorite book. Love Henry. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: People in the dark, playing games in the park.
by babyblu＠gold.globalcafe.co.uk 28 Apr '98

28 Apr '98

First off, a big dog on wheelsy GRRRR! to all you Glasgow picnicers, I'm so jealous. It all sounded SO B&S! Plastic orchid displays,? rain soaked cheese straws,? bull's testicles.? Surely an E.P.'s worth of lyrics there at least. And what was Sussanah doing there? Glasgow's an awfully long way from home for a poor defenceless forensic scientist. Perhaps it was another person? But I can't imagine that there's more than one Sussanah who would happily natter away about missing ears in Glasgow pubs. Any of you up there get to see her infamous drunken picnic table flamenco? It's a sight worth seeing I can tell you. Yes sir, she can boogie! Still, only six days till the London twee-fest (I've honing my body into a lean, fit twister machine for weeks now) and a mere four 'til the very first Blue Soda. Whooo! too much anticipation. It's like all your chistmasses coming at once! Hurrah, they've started playing 'Lazarus man' off of the new(ish) Terry Callier Lp in the geeky netcafe I post from. Another Latte and a side order of bliss please madame. Sorry I'm rambling........ Nice to know another listee recognises the power and majesty of Johnny English fruit & veg. We are few but we are strong.. See you all on Friday night/Monday afternoon. Stay Lucky, Rory xxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Glasgow Picnic
by Keith Watson 28 Apr '98

28 Apr '98

Just wanted to say thanks to all the people who turned up for the picnic in Glasgow at the weekend braving the awful weather - more people than I could possibly have imagined, in fact it wasn't a picnic, it was a space station. Personally I thought it was dead funny actually - you can't really expect to have a picnic without it just chucking it down I suppose - was a nice do in the pub too and at the art school later. Not really a lot for me to say on the subject cause everyone's already said everything already... Suffice it to say that it was great to see everyone again and I'm dead happy everyone had a good time. We will do another one soon, I figure one in Edinburgh and another in Glasgow, for the Edinburgh one, I'd suggest probably some time in July or August or so, indeed there are a couple of people coming from the US in August so perhaps that would a good time for it. I suggest it'll either be on Portobello beach or perhaps in Braid hills where I was walking about yesterday and thought it'd make a dead nice spot. When another Glasgow one will be is to be decided as of yet cause we'll need to wait for some more information from people, but I'll let everyone know in the fullness of time. And all the people who never turned up this time better come along next time or else :-) Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: sunshine smile
by Rob B 28 Apr '98

28 Apr '98

greetings people all this talk of picnics is getting me all excited, especially now the weather is starting to get nice. except whenever i go outside! i think i'm cursed - yesterday afternoon i went out to read by the duck pond in glorious sunshine, and within five minutes there was a thunderstorm brooding! pish, i say! sorry about sending my last message to the whole list, it wasn't really meant to go to everyone, was a slip of the hand. i set about trying to convert people to belle and sebastian ages ago, but now they seem to be trying to convert themselves, i merely need to mention them in an offhand kind of way, and everyone in the room rushes out and buys the cd. surely they are destined to take the world by storm sometime soon... maybe ;) ah well, i'd better be going - i've got all sorts of nasty exams to revise for... why is it always such lovely weather when exams loom? bye bye> rob ------------------------------------------------------------------------- + / \ St Theresa's calling her | O | The church up on the hill _______| _ | Is looking lovely / / /\ | __| \/.

Dear All Sorry to trouble you again but I am also trying to obtain the whole back catalogue of Indie Top Twenty albums (I think they were released in conjungtion with the the Melody Maker) on Beechwood Music. For a while it was also known as independent20 and I think there were 2 best of indie top 20 compilations. I only have number 19 and 20 originals so if anyone can suggest where I could obtain some more I would be most happy :) Hugs + Stuff TheSpod !!The Spod!!
