Certainly an artist with the written word. Her books have all these lovely sentences that youll want to shout in the face of everyone you meet, enlightening them: "History is a string full of knots...the best you can do is admire it, and maybe knot it up a bit more..." The Passion is a good place to start if youve not read anything of hers before. Short and leaving you thirsty. Read it with the Magnetic Fields' "Josephine" playing in the background. All of you must have lots of time to read now too, after having failed all those exams and whatnot....alas, I have a whole week to wait before mine begin... :) Jess ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: The Tufty club
by Sarah Wheeler 25 May '98

25 May '98

I've never seen a fox in the snow, but a squirrel just crossed my path carrying a baby in its mouth (at least I think it was its baby, I dismissed the thought that it was a fellow squirrel, and cannabalism was at large). What with that, and the iminent arrival of a new B+S album, I'm very happy. Just thought I'd let you all know. Sarah x -- I never made a mistake in my life. I thought I did once, but I was wrong. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Re:Sinister: My personal picnic
by Alan Prior 25 May '98

25 May '98

picnics with my mum and dad never even got that far... they would consist of driving to some so-called picturesque location, finding that it had started to rain halfway there, and sitting in a car park, in the car, eating the picnic and admiring the (ahem) 'view'. (ie we might as well have sat in the garage at home) geez, you'd think they'd learn, but this happened every time... think i will have my own picnic when on holiday next week. maybe. the people we are renting the house from must be mad. I mean, would you rent your house out to ten 18 year olds? i don't think so. am especially worried about the open fire. and the lake. am forseeing multiple injuries... debbie xx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: My personal picnic
by Stuart Gardiner 25 May '98

25 May '98

Well since everyone's enjoying the picnic / drinking session down in London at the moment, and I'm stuck here revising (or at least attempting to revise), I thought I'd take an hour off to hold my own pretend picnic. So I dug out a plastic plate which hasn't been eaten off (or cleaned) since last summer. I then ate some plain bread rolls, followed by some cheese slices on their own, because noone remembered to bring a knife. After that I had a Scotch Egg and some potato salad (of course noone would ever dream of eating either except at a picnic). It was at round about this time that the first major argument occurred between me and my parents. At this point I realised that it wasn't nearly realistic enough, so I finished my food whilst sitting next to a wasps' nest. At this point, 5 people complained that they hadn't had enough food and were still hungry; and everyone else packed away all the uneaten food which noone liked. Next, I stood under the shower for 20 minutes, wearing sunglasses, saying "It's OK, there's no need to move, the rain's easing off now" every 30 seconds. It was at round about this time that the fifth major argument occurred between me and my parents. Eventually I packed it all up, pausing for a brief moment to wonder how there was more stuff left than there was at the start, and why I bothered taking a frisbee which never got used all day. Tomorrow morning I will wake up and wonder how I managed to get sunburnt, despite the fact that the sun didn't come out all day. All in all, it was a fine day. I must do it again sometime.

Re: Sinister: we're happy little vegemites....
by Kayemess 25 May '98

I don't like Vegemite, but I looooooveeeee Lamingtons. My friend Amy's mom made them for my birthday one year. Mmm... I can still taste them. Almost. Anyone check out Sonic Youth's new "art" video last night? It starred a rat-faced Macauly Caulkin and was directed by Harmony Korine. The mix of the song (Sunday) was very strange, too. Poor music editing, I say. -Kristen ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Verve
by Henry 25 May '98

25 May '98

hiya, I saw the Verve last night in Wigan, wow! last minute ticket offer, you see, I couldn't really say no. They were pretty good, Beck was amazing , but the whole day was made because the pub we went to for lunch was playing "if your feeling sinister" all the way through - obviously a good omen. Halfway through the Verve's set some guy came limping past me with a broken arm - must have been intense in the mosh pit. (I know a broken arm doesn't make you limp, but he was anyway). looks like another overcast day for the picnic-ers, enjoy it anyway, bye, henry ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: The Loft ?
by Over the ocean 25 May '98

25 May '98

tjena, tjena, mittbena ! Hi everyone ! I have a bit of a problem and was thinking who better to ask than the B&S gang. A couple of weeks ago i bought a compilation record with creation groups called creation soup vol 1. and on that record there was a group called The Loft, with 2 songs one was called Like and that was pretty good but the other song called Why does the rain was absolutely breathtaking, i must say i thought they reminded me a bit of B&S, anyway does anyone have some information they can share, how many records, which one why does the rain is on. thanks ! /markus Make belive that it`s okay, make belive that nothing matters, and you`ll make it through this day, and you`ll make it through the night /Stuart Staples ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
