Being a bad driver is not a problem though, as an old Jedi once told me "Use the Force Adrian. Let your feelings go". Which is what i do...just switch off and let the force bring me to work and I haven't had an accident yet...well not in the 10 minutes I've been on the road.

Sinister: Golly gee whillikers!
by Steven Jay Goldman 22 May '98

22 May '98

My lord, I didn't expect so many responses to a deluded email sent from work! Thanks to everyone who popped out of the woodwork! I realized from these past few emails that I never introduced myself, so here I go: The name's Steven Goldman, and I'm a recent Emory grad, majoring in the mighty art of theater (acting/writing), and I don't believe in the line "Would you like fries with that?" I love all sorts of odd people and novels and music and perceptions, and it seems that you all are the sort of folks who can appreciate that... For example, I was lying on my back on the grassy knoll on the corner of Clifton and North Decatur -- hopefully the site of the upcoming Arts Center Emory's planning -- watching traffic pass me by, and clouds swirled and lolled in the air, taking on shapes and sizes before me. Most days people just pass them by, but the big balloon animal shapes were too fascinating to pass up, so I sat like a googly-eyed kid, enjoying the circus in the sky... Another Ink moment: I'm sitting at the Mudhouse, a no-longer-existent coffee hangout in Fort Lauderdale, my cup of java upraised with a quirky smile on my face. The girl, a redhead as I recall, has just passed my table, walking slowly and ambling across the outdoor courtyard, upset at being alone and bored, which was my state at the time. Her sundress flowing in the night wind, her green eyes bright under the moon...I raised my cup to her, tipping her a smile to say "I know the story, luv" and got a soft smile from her in return... Ah, those sweet smiles of life...some days they are all we need. ;) "Let's put our heads together, and start a whole new country up, Our father's father's fathers tried to erase the parts they didn't like, let's try to fill it in, thank the glory river swim, we kneeskinned it, you and me, we kneeskinned that river red..." --"Cuyahoga," R.E.M. --Steven (404) 251-8310 sgold06(a)emory.edu http://tswww.cc.emory.edu/~sgold06/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: What a lovely day for a shout...
by Steven Jay Goldman 22 May '98

22 May '98

Hey fellow B&Sers... It's nice to finally sit down and pen off a missive to all of you, seeing how everything I've written before has been Tigermilk requests and such... It's a fairly nice day in Atlanta, and I'm trapped in the monolithic World Congress Center at my temp job, providing tech support for microbiologists wanting to use their email. On the other hand, my mind is elsewhere, in the rolling hills of Scotland, or at least Athens, Georgia; my head is scrolling through songs like a 100-CD player set on random and injected with a heavy dose of crack. The song selections have been whipsawing from The Police to B&S to Willy Wonka to that dance track from "Trainspotting" (from the first club scene, before "Atomic" by Sleeper comes on), and so on... Strangely enough, though, it's not that bad...just existing in my own personal space, letting my mind flow freely and wildly, and the sunshine is on my face even though it's through a window, and life is nice and smooth... I DO want to get a picnic together, though...so if any Atlantans haven't spoken up yet, let me know so we can descend on Candler Park and cause some mischief, or at least some merriment. Enough babble for now...I'm sure there'll be more later... Carpe ranam, --Steven PS -- Personal recs: "The Invisibles" by Grant Morrison and "Transmetropolitan" by Warren Ellis; two bloody intense and incredible comic series, VERY worth checking out... and Neutral Milk Hotel's newest self-titled album, which has an Old American feel... Ta! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Ohio, anyone?
by Mick McMick 22 May '98

22 May '98

Hm... All this talk of degogo, who are from Dayton, has got me wondering. Are there any Ohio-based listees with the exception of Brandt & myself? Dunno if that would warrant any picnics or anything, but I'm still curious. Most UK listees don't even know where Ohio is =P /"\_/"\_/"\ Mick McMick - mick(a)indiepop.com - ICQ#5056758 \ / Sandcastle Records - sandcastlerecords(a)indiepop.com | | Sandcastle Homepage - http://indiepop.com/sandcastle/ | | | | "Everyone has their own cup of tea. | | Some just happen to like a lot of sugar in it!" | | - Me! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Re: Stina Nordenstam
by Sara Bjerefeldt 21 May '98

21 May '98

Hi! Just writing to say that I agree with Joel. Memories of a color is from 1992. If Dynamite is too dark, Memories of a color is the perfect match to And She Closed Her Eyes - very gentle, very blue and very beautiful.

by Sarah 21 May '98

21 May '98

hiya! hey katrina, snow patrol news if you hadn't heard of this, - snow patrol are in MORE magazines top tunes doo-dad, second to Ian Brown! if i remember right, they were described as "indie pop by pretty boys" :) and *i* was pleased about the B&S new stuff news! tres chuffed indeed and what not. i went woohooo quite loudly in my house, and even stopped shaking over my spanish exam for about, ooh 6 seconds, yey! no really, i am interested in the "funk jam" of space blues, MUCHLY.... i imagine b&s going in a new direction with this album. kind of the jams mixed with lemon and lime caustic waste. (?! i'm in a strange mood can you tell) spent a most fun day at a HE fair, looking at univeristy prospectuses. theres a course that looks cool...in Warrington, yeh and what is there to do in Warrington? fuck and all methinks. then i saw a good course at the City Uni in London. THEN i looked at accomodation prices, ah fuck rite off mate!! 69-80 squid! getoutofit! and then the other place i looked at was good, and it was Holloway, in Egham Surrey, probably even more expensive....*sighs* looked at Edinburgs - surprised not to see any Honeys in catsuits adorning the centrefold, but alas Edinbra does no media poo, which is the only thing i THINK i might end up doing...wow, having to think about futures, I CAN'T GO TO UNIVERSITY! THATS GROWN UP!!!! (yeh well oook....mebbes not, but....wwauugh etc) - anyway, so me might not be going to Edinbruh. *sighs* bugger that for a lark eh kids? lets groove to New Order, incidentally, i found Blue Monday single on the market today for a quid, was well chuffed i'll tell ya that for nowt, and the Cure singles collection, was most chuffed-de-do-dah-day. or something, ah heck i dunno.

Forwarded message: From: Self <HarrLJ-U.Mdl.arts.bham> To: sgold06(a)emory.edu Subject: Re: Sinister: What a lovely day for a shout... Date: Thu, 21 May 1998 16:45:11 GMT Dear Steven, Hello! This is the first letter I've ever sent to a fellow Belle and Sebastian enthusiast. Permit me to introduce myself. My name is Lauren, and I study French and German at the University of Birmingham, England. I am twenty. OK, so my Belle and Sebastian story goes like this: I finished my exams last May, and a very good male friend of mine, K, bought some cheap but powerful cider (like paint-stripper) for me and my dear friend V, and we went to his tiny room in hall (student residence) and turned off the lights, warmed up the lava lamp, and he turned on the most sublime, gentle, funny, and dreamy music I had ever heard. We lay on his bed, the three of us, and had a tender and memorable evening, with Belle and Sebastian's 'Dog on Wheels' and 'Sinister' forming the soundtrack! That summer, we three saw them in the Colchester Arts Centre, a tiny, renovated church which is nevertheless extremely popular with indie bands. The atmosphere was crackling with the electricity of the fans' anticipation. I watched through the gap between the side and the armpit of the tall bloke in front of me as Stuart came on in delightful second-hand Lederhosen and the rest of the band assembled like a school orchestra on the stage full of all sorts of weird instruments. Every fan there mouthed the words as Stuart whispered his way dreamily through the band's repertoire. I bought my orange-and-brown 1997 tour bus t-shirt there, and kissed Chris on his bristly cheek, trying to persuade him to bring the band to Birmingham, which, as most Americans may not realise, is viewed as a gigantic shite-hole by the rest of the British. I don't think he was convinced! I wrote to you, Steven, because I am coming to America this summer with a friend, where we are going to travel around by Greyhound (yes.. I know it's nonsensical and dangerous! but what the hell??!!!), and we are going to be dropping in to see a bit of Atlanta. So your town holds a lot of interest for me, probably more than Birmingham does for you... I am originally from East London, so I am considered a Cockney, though at the school where I was educated one was not encouraged to retain that accent! Anyhow, I hope this is some sort of adequate introduction.. I am pretty excited about getting to know all of the people on the list.. I didn't realise B+S were so international.. although I am positive they are on their way.. Much love and dreams of horses..
