Sinister: don't applaud, just throw monkeys...
by Alan Prior 18 May '98

18 May '98

strange things that happened to me the other day... 1) on the way into town on the bus, the driver pulled over on the way through the village, said "i'll just be a minute", got out, crossed the road and went into the pub. He then came back out and carried on with the journey. Hmmm. 2) walking along North Bridge, i saw a few people with cameras waiting to film something. It was a dog on wheels. What's going on? I am now going to send out a plea to any scottish people on this list sitting their school exams just now (if there are any, which i'm not sure about). Do you still have your exam time table? Cos i have my Modern Studies exam on wednesday and i can't remember what time it starts... is it 9.00 or 9.30? I could phone up the school, i suppose, but, frankly, its too damn scary. Hahaha, only a day and a half to learn everything about british and american politics, income, wealth and poverty, the class system, politics of food aid... and other stuff that i've forgotten. so of course i'm typing e-mails instead. and going to see urusei yatsura tonight. ah well, if i'm gonna fail, i may as well do it in style... love, debbie xxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

<< I think a couple of years back, Garth Brooks told people that he was going to boycott record stores that sold used cds. This was complete and utter bullshit, >> garth brooks also calls his music "product," and has asked his company to stop producing his first cds in attempt to make everyone buy his new 6-cd set so i just ignore everything he says anyway ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I don't have a pooter at home because I'm poor and still tend to spend my entire salary on (as Homer would say) "mmmmm...beeeer" and..... "mmmmm.....pizza" despite being 26. I am therefore only able to share in all things Sinister by being naughty at work. I don't know if being caught is an issue for me. I'm sure I'm right in believing that being part of a f-off great organisation like DCC, all our e-mails go through a single gateway and therefore someone is able to read them if they so wished. this is why all my outgoing mails go under the guise of DCC road improvement schemes or waste disposal projects !! This is also the reason why I can only subscribe to Digest. However, despite the volume of mails coming into my inbox and being sent, noone has ever said anything to me. And when my bosses walk past I am always reading e-mails. My job is so cack that I just don't care anymore. Should I change jobs in the near future, even internally, I would have to unsubscribe and thus be bored shitless for the rest of my working life. FIN.

Speaking of Tortoise and Ui (OK, novody was speaking of them, they were mentioned vaguely), I am going to see Tortoise and Oval tomorrow night! Yay! The burning and forests in Mexico have sent smoke to the Texas skies. The locals have dubbed it Spanish Haze (which doesn't make sense to me. Why not Mexican Haze? Wouldn't Spanish imply that it was from Spain or spoke Spanish? Am I missing something here?). Anyway, this haze makes people's eyes water tremendously. A city full of people with tears in their eyes seems a little B&S to me. -Kristen ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: yes you love it
by blink＠inexpress.net 17 May '98

Hello dearies, It's so hot here..it's weird but good.I went walking around the city to be inspired...because we need to do this slide presentation to a song and i just don't know what to do.I am procrastinating,but thatis me.I went to parts i never go to...away from the shops..to the art museum where they are having picasso exhbit..to the hills behind overlooking the river and city...that would be an AMAZING location for a picnic! the day before yesterdya was supposed to be a lucky day,twas not! My lucky days are really the opposite of what they should be..and i even walked AROUND a ladder,not underneath...AROUND..still unlucky.Record store boy was not there and that right there almost ruined my day...and then in chapters..CHAPTERS a bookstore for goodness sake there was a scary pimp man,he looked at the magazines i was reading and he's like 'well that's god,but you should try a little culture ' and he was reading a Harlequin romance!! He made me read some to him..since when are harlequinns so sophisticated!? Anyways,i had to invent a boyfriend cos this guy was just scary he's like 'i never beat you,i will never beat you' i was glad when he had to leave,but am i destined to nutter pimps that read harlequinne romances? ...scared...yes... speaking of books,i am reading the Unbearable Lightness of Being,the sinister recommendations are so good,only about 527 books left to go. poor poor belle and sebastian...i was talking about them the other day,i suppose i shouldn't even have tried..boys n guitars...these types anyways,don't want to hear it..but it made me angry....they seem to only manages talent in how long and complicated guitar riffs can be,i can agree 'yes' they are good guitarists..but that music just don't have that OOMPH SHOCKA LOCKA like B&S.But i just can't explain this,i get so aggravated! Does anyone else do this little jab in the air over this one line? whenever i hear stuart sing 'i'm tired of listening to myself,yeahhh' i goota do it. does anyone else incorporate the band into stories? I swear,i would be failing if it wasn't for B&S,they just keep giving me ideas! I like shipwrecked stuart piece.We had to do a story on survival...gaterhing bits of wood n berries,but i did mine different,i made my guy accept death as his survival so he could be in peace,the only thing he gathers is some wod and string and he fashions a guitar.It ends with him dehydrated,starved,naked and sunburnt...playing guitar. ...poor ottawa,damn you washington! I swear,Stuart Murdoch IS Daniel Alfredsson,the Swedish hockey player? Same lovely fair-skinned complexion and lovely red hair...He doesn't punch or hit anybody with his stick.He holds back people,he tries to make peace.And he talks of Sweden and it's beauty,it IS him,i swear.The media would ask him about his excellent and cunning skills and he would look to the sky and murmur 'Aye,Scotland is beautiful this time of year' sigh! ...i watched the Breakfast Club (again) and the 80's insults really make me laugh. 'Can you hear this? Do you want me to (turns hand so middle finger is up) TURN IT UP?' what's with that! I love Eggstone (thankyou Tag!!!)i wish i'd known of them earlier! kisses, Genevieve :) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Rhinestone Cowboys....
by David Walker 17 May '98

17 May '98

Hello, Sure this has been mentioned before, but it just struck me yet again. Doesn`t the end of "Photo Jenny" sound incredibly like the end of Glen Campbell`s "Witchita Lineman" ? And while we are on the subject, isn`t Glen Campbell great ? They don`t write songs (much) like they used to (or something). Right.....glad to get that off my chest, David. -- David Walker Paul Weller Links And Information: http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Towers/6411/links.html Paul Weller Trading Post: http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Towers/6411/trade.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Hefner The Hefner Soul EP UK The intensity of Palace, twisted lyrics of Violent Femmes & charm of Belle & Sebastian. Guests Stuart from Belle & Sebastian I got it in a Mail Order Shop Updates.
