Sinister: each one i pass goes "aaahh"
by brad 08 Jun '98

08 Jun '98

the way i see it, if tag can come out of his slumber, then who's to stop me? i've been busy lately and the old computer went fucking nuts on me one night and did some rude things and i never heard from it again. it's still sitting there like an old man about to go to a nursing home. the pile of shit. i got hold of this notebook from some girl and i checked my mail. 1,237 messages. i deleted the first 1100. so if anything important has happened i need someone to fill me in. any release dates? any info on aything new? i got hold of an arab strap album.."philophobia"...i must admit i was a little apprehensive when i hit play and the very first lyric was "it was the biggest cock you'd ever seen"....but i kept listening and they are great. kind of like mogwai with vocals and drum machines. and now i know who the voice on number 8 on the mogwai album is. i also heard this band called the pernice brothers who were'nt bad. kind of belle and sebastianish. and the new sean lennon album exceeds any lenghths of greatness i had hoped for. get it now. and i've started listening to a lot of country music lately.....townes van zandt, gram parsons, willie nelson, .....but townes van zandt has to be the best songwriter in the world. i'm thinking of moving to the chapel hill area of nc...anyone up there? the boy from ipanema, brad ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: by any other name, would they smell so sweet?
by PKHINTZ＠aol.com 08 Jun '98

08 Jun '98

In the wide travels of my temp job, I have moved from one side of the office building to the other. There, I have to pull files for lots of people who are too important to do so themselves. One of these people is named Tim Hopkin, as opposed to Sinister's own Tim Hopkins. This remarkable occurence has lead me to wonder if this new Tim is part of an alternate Sinister reality where the last letter of one's name is left off. If I start meeting people named Keit Watso, th Duk o Harringa, or Ta, then I will know that something odd is happening in the universe. Or just more odd than usual. . . Note to HoneyMotherHubbardPaul: When can we expect our Sinister babies to arrive? Are they being sent by stork? I am not sure that is a good idea, with stork hunting season happening at the moment. I would hate to think that my Sinister lovechild went down in a stork's fatal nosedive. Can these baby things be emailed? I once tried to email one of my handsome scarfs to Honey, but I couldn't get the email attachment to stick to the wool. I doubt it would stick any better to a baby, despite how much honey you use. And I hate to think of my baby being squeezed into a fax machine. Is it true that Splat the cat is the wet nurse? I can picture that furry nanny in an apron right now. Splat is probably giving the babies words of sweetness--"Pish, pish, meow, pish". A tear has just come to my eye as I remember the first time that was said to me in my childhood. Living and loving, Matthew ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

by Sarah 07 Jun '98

07 Jun '98

Hello Sinister party people, how are you? i'm bored, i've had to run away from chat again. so last time this happened, i wrote an email which started off a whole topic of cartoon nostalgia. gee, how shall i liev up to that eh? even honey told me off :( *sadness* i am thinking, no, but i am HAPPY! cos honey is back, but honey is upset wif me cos i talk about cartoons :( and there is thus no meaning left. guess i'll have to go and listen to Sweet Johnny to try an cheer myself up - oh god college tomorrow, oh god, no, those horrible snobby spanish people who wehave to talk to in Spanish who think they are better than us, but they're not cos they smell, AND GOD, media studies of which i misse dthe last 2 lessons and thus dunno what happend in thelma and louise - its shite anyway, why can't we do our bug essay on PSYCHO for gods sake, and then freeee! untill english - which i think we'll either read EXCITING" sense and sensibilty which i absolutely hate. i hate the ending of it. the basic moral is, forget being young and carefree and fun, life is shite, resign yourself to it, and YOU TOO! can end up marrying a sad old giffer called Cl. Brandon. my teacher says it sums oup teh values of the time. well, their values were pish. i called it that in a lesson, and everyone laughed at me, cos they are all (apart from 3) horrible TRENDY DUDES who think - like gee - wear somthing that isn't MORGAN!!! is so...freakish, cha? hmmph. and if not that, its Thomas Hardy poems. they are better, cos Chris our teacher dude is cool and says funny words and is sweet, and he makes it all much better. oooh! NOOOO! i've got CLAIT as well! ARSEBISCUITS! this means i have to sit there and do a load of work with graphs for an hour, where i could be playing cards most productively with my friends. hmmm. ah well, might as well finish it i guess.... I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!!!! Sarah happy chappy half term bappy --chris teacher dude. really. i do not joke. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Romping in the UK, you don't know how lucky you are...
by petula 07 Jun '98

07 Jun '98

A gruelling 7 hour flight and several rounds of complimentary amaretto later, I am home from my jaunt to Glasgow and thereabouts. Jet lag? Pah! Refreshed from 12 days of lung cleansing northern air and nourishing lager, I feel quite prepared to take on the task of reporting back to you lot. (I'm lying, I'm actually dead tired but...) **Exhibit A: Glasgow (lovely lovely Kelvinbridge, to be precise). This is city is a heartbreaker. Oh, I know all those cliches about Scotland being fabulous and friendly, blah blah blah, but I'm a hopeless romantic and I'm afraid I quite fell in love with West Glasgow. The little cafe on Otago where Tag, Anne, Keith and I had tea and looked over our record finds from John Smith. The beautiful park that Anne took me through on the way to a pub. The Java internet cafe made famous in the "Century of Fakers" video, where we were interviewed by someone from Channel 4. A hop, skip and a jump away from the Art School. Shopping in Safeway for Tunnock's Caramel Logs. Nice bridges and trees. I *will* live there one day, I've decided. Event #1: Serge Gainsbourg tribute night, Renfrew Ferry ------------------------------------------------------- The evening started out with us all staring at our shoes, shuffling from the 13th Note on Clyde Street which was closed, to the other 13th Note which was right by the venue. I was feeling quite shy, but the ice broke eventually (fuelled a little by alcohol methinks) and soon I found myself chatting away with Honey Paul, Linda, Chris Leonard, Tag, Julia, Keith and Anne amongst others. Unexpected surprise: Stevie performing "lolita go home " <insert idiotic smile here, cos it's the closest I've come to seeing B&S thus far> I knew I must be getting a little on the tipsy side, cos I kept banging my head on the doorframe in the loo. Hello, some of us are over 5 feet! Event #2: 13th Note (a.k.a. the Drunken Barn Dance) --------------------------------------------------- Keith, Tag, Anne & I started off with dinner at the CCA, a lovely gallery of some sort. Where else can one dine on cumin-crusted chicken on a bed of mango sauced fettucine noodles, all the while listening to the DJ spin Air and Plastique Fantastique? I'm afraid I must have looked a bit piggy though, because at one point Tag said "You're enjoying that, aren't you?" as I licked my plate clean. Continue onwards to the 13th Note, where after some clever footwork we snagged a table and we, well, drank of course. The conversation turned to Keith and Tag trying to think of Canadian bands they knew (and it's always the same list: Men Without Hats, Rush and Celine Dion). Imagine my delight when the evening was sweetly topped off with a fabulous cabbie who cranked up the Bryan Adams that just so happened to be on the radio, so Keith could do his famous Air Guitar routine. Event #3: Edinburgh, chez Honey Paul! ------------------------------------- I did not rule on this day, due to circumstances beyond my control which prevented me from getting a good night's sleep--however, I must not have looked too bad cos when we were having breakfast at Java before leaving for Honey's, a kerr-ay-zee man from Channel 4 interviewed me about my thoughts on Glasgow. Tag and Keith sat like 2 lumps of sticky toffee pudding as I worked my magic with the camera. Sparkle Shirley, sparkle! Embarassing moment #2: en route to Edinburgh, I was taking in the lovely scenery alongside the M8. "Oh, aren't those reddish hills charming?", chirped I. It was then that Keith informed me that the hills were actually slag heaps. Honey is a dear you know--he lets us silly kids invade his living room to blare France Gall and pet his kitties. And Linda makes fabulous tea. Dinner at the Calvary Arms was good but I felt a bit, oh I don't know, colonial? Not to mention that the spice made me a little woozy combined with my lack of sleep. Headfirst into my tikka masala, that wouldn't have been cool! I perked up when we went to the pub though, cos the christmas poo episode of South Park was on. And joy of joys, a cosy proper bed for me to sleep in later. There's the 25 cent version kiddies-- though, being Canadian, I feel obliged to include a brief French translation as it's our other official language. It's brought to you by the verb romper, of course. Here you go: "De tout les gens avec qui j'ai rompu pendant mon sejour, c'etait celui qui aimait le fromage qui etait le plus sympa, et j'ai si hate de lui revoir". Compact, that French language is, isn't it? love elisabeth xoxo ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: New DELGADOS
by Stephane Buron 07 Jun '98

07 Jun '98

Hi ! I haven't had many many things to say for the last few weeks (and i worked too much, actually : dont worry, Anna and Danieloo, i'll answer as soon as possible...), but today, I MUST advise you the new Delgados CD. It's one of the most beautiful records i've ever heard -nice voices, nice melodies, violins, flutes, and electric noisy guitars from time to time... I had bought their BBC Sessions a few months ago : it was not exactly disappointing, but well, not as good as their last album, Peloton. Would someone tell me which other album i could buy? Sorry there was no B&S content in this post (except that the album was recorded in Glasgow...) Stephane -- "If the sun going down can make me cry Why should I not like the way I am ?

Funny, I thought the official release date was tomorrow ... however, on the strength of their lastest singles I'd blindly second your recommendation. >Would someone tell me which other album i could buy? There's not much of a choice, they've only released one other album entitled _Domestiques_ ... having said that, you shouldn't expect the record to be similarily smooth ... for a hint, five songs from the BBC Sessions CD are also on the debut album.

Well, have you checked the sleeve notes yet ? I'd bet there is one Tony Doogan featured somewhere ... now check the sleeve notes of any Belle And Sebastian record currently available in your collection. §;^D "Primary Alternative" Andreas The rain it raineth on the just And also on the unjust fella But more upon the just because The unjust steals the just's umbrella (Charles Baron Bowen) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: bed with no tea
by Honey 07 Jun '98

07 Jun '98

You lot are in BIG trouble. When your father gets home there's going to be hell to pay. One more cartoon I've never heard of and you get a slap across the back of your thighs, because like Judi I come from the days before moving pictures, when all we had for entertainment was the suspension of innocent hammy hamsters in hot air balloons 40 feet above Snodding-Snodsberry. Ohhh, you take advantage of me when I'm crying in a cottage in Derbyshire with a modem phone lead in my hand and nowhere to plug it. Talking of Derbyshire, I just got a card and letter from His Esteemed (Didn't-He-Used-To-Post-To-The-List) PeterMillerness from - Derbyshire (1, Strawberry Lane), creeping-crawlying about why he didn't pay us a visit when he hit the north. If we'd known he was in Derbyshire (repetition) we'd have gone to see him, in Derbyshire. He gave me 4 excuses for not coming north, the best of which was: "4. I'm sure there was something else, but I'm buggered if I can remember". The accompanying postcard will appear on the WWW soon; sneak preview: "Have you had a check up, miss?" "No, doctor - I think he came from Spain!" There's much talk of Tag in the press, electronic Tagging and games of "Poo isn't Tag smelly". All I can add is that I came across this on the inside cover of Keith's favourite night-time dream, Stephen Pastel's Truckload of Trouble LP: "... and anyway we are far too outward looking for that sad Tag".
