Sinister: Re: san fran area Sinister meet
by Tara Widmer 14 May '98

14 May '98

Since this Sunday isn't looking too good for anyone (including yours truly, who in the excitement of *finally* getting a Sinister picnic, neglected to remember her own brother's birthday that same day....oops) we've decided to push our little shindig back a week. Therefore, next Sunday May 24th*, noon-ish to whenever, Golden Gate Park, Hippy Hill-area. Food/drinks/etc need to be sorted out, so please e-mail me if you know what you'll be bringing, or if you need more info. (someone had to tell me where Hippy hill is!) love Taracita *Yes it's Memorial Day weekend, but you weren't doing anything anyway, were you?;-) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: horsie dreams
by Lindsay Sworski 14 May '98

14 May '98

i have this awful book from 1938 titled "the complete dream book" so i went to see about that dream of horses... "Dreaming of a black horse is unlucky for a married woman as it denotes unfaithfullness on the part of her husband. Brood mares indicate companionship and connubial happiness. Being kicked by a horse is a sign that the object of your affection will do something to make you realize that you have made a mistake. Having a horse shod is a good omen for lovers, both married and single." [who writes this shit!!] then again, if she dreampt of a mare... "If a young woman dreams of seeing mares in lush, green pastures, she may expect a marriage without regrets and children who will do credit to her and her husband." looks like we need some more details on the dream, Stuart. then again, my roommate told me that a dream about horses is a dream about sex just like car dreams and flying dreams - so she started singing "Lena and her dream of driving" and i sang "Lindsay and her dream of flying" and we ran around prancing like horses. fill in your own locomotive blank and we all know the dream was far too sweet to ever discern! has anyone ever pictured what the dream was like? or had an image in their mind with any other song for that matter? lindsay lindsay lindsay lindsay ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: on-topic post shocker
by Hopkins T 14 May '98

14 May '98

Yesterday I got my CD copy of Sinister back, after it had been guarding the house of some friends of mine while they were in Thailand for several months. Anyway, it is a promo copy, and futher to the discussion a few weeks back about promo copies, I thought I'd tell you what was written on a sticker on the case. It has the full cover etc, and a sticker on the front saying 'Appearing 18-Nov-96'. On the back, though, it gets good, saying... 'Everything that made me want a career in the music business and most of what keeps me in it (aside from the money) is embodied in this unconsciously inspired, unassuming masterpiece. What's that? It's the indefinable, the elusive quality of magic, it's something you feel and know instantly and don't question, you just go with it. The charm and wit of these songs, the guileless understatement of their production, and the dark shades of meaning make this a rare gem. Does this sound like pluggerbabble bullshit? Then perhaps you've been in the music business too long. Phone me for some background stories- Scott. Belle & Sebastian play the Borderline on the 11th Nov.' Which is cool, 'cos at least it's self- reflexive pluggerbabble bullshit :-). anyway, thought you might be interested. Eek! It's just occurred to me that it might be a bad thing to buy secondhand promo copies of records, since the artists don't get any cash money as a result. Oh, the moral maze of modern living. tim ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

>The other day I was listening,with a friend of mine, to a B&S song "the >state I am in". >Great song. Pure magic.The anticlimax came when suddenly she said "you and >your >emotions.

Your EMOTIONS? >Am I a non-normal person because of that? >I´m terribly disappointed. If she could only understand! > Oh man...I SO hear what you're saying! One day, acouple of weeks ago..My best mate and I were in my car looking for parking for a film....We were driving round and round a parking garage and listening to "The State I Am In".....and I made it as far as "why don't you", right after the "riding on city busses" and the chord change..or something...just bit me, and I started bawling in a big way....I was half crying and laughing at the same time, cause she was looking at me like "what the?" Then she just said "dork...you and this Belle & Whoever." Funny thing was i'd been choking back the tears up till then anyway....You think YOU'RE sentimental? Oh brother...... Maybe I just need more vitamins or something. beth ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Keith, Kelly, Kafka/Dream of Horses
by Martin Conneely 14 May '98

14 May '98

1. Many days ago, Peter Miller wrote "don't be put off The Trial by all that nonsense about it being a metaphor for life. Not a jot of it. It is in fact top comedy, not unlike Frank Spencer or Fawlty Towers. " In "Hurley's Having Dreams", there's a reference to Hurley dreaming of the time when he was a horse in Czechoslovakia. Could it be that "Hurley" is the song Judy "wrote" about a dream of horses? And maybe she wrote about a "horse in Czechoslovakia" because she was reading a book by a Czech author (although he wrote in German)? And maybe that's why there's a woman on the front of IFYS reading The Trial? And maybe I'll get a reply that this whole thing has been done to death a few months ago! Anyway, The Castle is the best, especially the Muir (I think) version which includes alternative episodes later dropped for the final version. 2. In real life, dreaming of horses remains financially hazardous. The gallant horse Dun Belle has been very consistent. She fell in the English Grand National and came second last in the Irish Grand National. Martin C ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
