Sinister: The Black Prince
by John Johnston 27 Jan '99

27 Jan '99

Son of Edward III and Phillipa of Hainault - I could never remember where he fitted in. Well one of you came forward to help me out with my desire to find a new word or a phrase from another language to describe my joy when overdue buses or public transport arrive. Thank you very much Oon! She gave me two Thai phrases my favourite being: "Long Og" - "long" is like relieve. "og" is your chest. like when you have runny nose and you blow your nose, same feeling. Nothing else I have found even approaches that metaphor for describing the feeling. The best I could do was "Spontaneous Omnibustion". I'm reading a book about the Wars of the Roses at the moment. It says that in the middle ages it was the custom in England to greet people with a kiss on the lips and foreign visitors were amazed at it all. I'd love to know at which point a firm handshake and awkward mumbled pleasantry took over - probably about the time of the Plague! it also talks about Isabella, wife of Henry II - known as the "She wolf of France" - it immeadiately made me think of our own Genevieve - She-Wolf of the Gatineau. In my quest for new exclamations and swearwords I'm thinking of taking an (illuminated vellum) leaf out of Henry VI's book - the most he would ever say was "For Shame!" although he was sometimes known to exclaim "St James!" xx John +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Kate Bush too, if we're talking about female songwriters that make us tingle. And yes, Billie (Holliday that is) rules. But I stil think Tori's a bit yucky. Sorry Dmitry. Anyone who happens to be a stoodent at York university and appreciates the post-rocky side of life check out Carolyn at the Battle of the Bands thingy tonight. I haven't heard them yet but my best Belle and Sebastian friend Melanie plays guitar for them and if that isn't a high enough recommendation for you..... But its their first gig so be gentle. Anyway, so I've been listening to all this Hefner talk that's been going on here, and when I heard someone mention that New Bad Things cover version about Vic Chesnutt I thought it's about time I checked this lot out, but my local indie has the album and nothing else. And when I asked the scary heavy metal man behind the counter, he said that all the singles and EPs and whatnot have been deleted. Is this true? How many did they have? And who are they? And is it worth getting the album if I haven't heard some stuff by them first? I'm sorry, I never listen to the radio you see, since Mark Radcliffe went daytime, and I don't hear new bands until they're old bands. Help me?! thats all love from molly xx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Now *that's* entertainment!
by Julie Smith 27 Jan '99

27 Jan '99

Hey list kids. I've just gotten back home and am in a joyful mood because of a great movie I just saw -- Rushmore. Please don't be discouraged by the marketing people who seem intent on portraying it as "a zany 90's comedy." I mean, I guess it is, but it's also sweet, funny, touching, unusual and best of all, ORIGINAL! Imagine that!! Wes Anderson (the director and writer) proves that you can still squeak a well-written, non-formulaic film past Hollywood types. And it has a a nice soundtrack too--Belle and Sebastian would have fit right in. Wait a second, do you think I liked it? Yes, yes I did. And I promise I don't work for Touchstone. Julie P.S. While you're waiting for it to come out, you could always rent Wes Anderson's other movie Bottle Rocket at your local video store. _________________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: paperboat
by rebelstrange＠ldd.net 27 Jan '99

27 Jan '99

hello, i'm jo and i'm a lengthy poster. *HELLO, JO* ok this is what i want to know, what is the deal with paper boat? is that the cheesiest song i have ever heard or what?? it sounds like a game show theme. that's not necessarily the worst thing, but doesnt' stevie sing some "bollox"(clever crap) about "going out to have some fun"? Did he write that song? i was under the impression before i heard the song that it was anohter lord anthony lovely unrecorded song, but i was disappointed last night when i finally finished hearing my NY2 side of the tape. and whoever said the wrong girl is going to be on their next album, BLEAAAAH let us pray otherwise!!! i know it's mean. never let it be said i was unfair, cos i LOVE seymour stein, but the wrong girl is just sad and boring, except for a brief tingle of rawkin-out groove in the chorus, that only lasts till the boring verses come on again. they could re-write the song with keeping the chorus and putting totally new lyrics in and changing the melody, then it would be better, its' just my opinion, but i'm the one who thinks is it wicked and seymour stein fit in seamlessly with the entire TWBTAS texture. stevie shoudl put out his own record for his wrong girl. on the subject of stuart m's cheekbones, i realized that stuart david has an extremely vague resemblance to david letterman, albeit a younger sort of squished version of him. he's hard to draw by the way. I'm not well versed on the subject of john hughes movies, in fact i despise that genre with all the hate i can muster, which is a lot, but the idea of the b&s version just made me all excited. wee chris could be the goofy one who is always wearing glasses and a funny hat, and dancing around. you know what i'm talking about, never mind, i never have watched those movies but i KNOW there is always a goofy one in them. and the isobel-girl rolls her eyes whenever he comes round, but only in a good natured way, cos she knows he's nice at heart. stuart would make a cute girl i think, i''d look forward to that. poor things, to wake up flat as a board. and they'd go brassiere shopping together and wacky hijinx would necessarily ensue. i know none of you want to hear about this i just wanted to bitch about paper boat cos i was highly let down.

Sinister: tape trees and pointless blathering
by vlass＠interlog.com 27 Jan '99

27 Jan '99

>Why don't we do a Tape Tree hehehe, i seem to recall a tape tree that grew here a few months back. unfortunately it appears to have withered up and died due to neglect. and i know for a fact that i'm one of the people to blame because i have a certain tape lying around my bedroom that i should've mailed long, long, LONG ago. sigh. i'm sorry... but, i still don't have the black sessions so i wouldn't mind getting in on it and i *promise* this time to be good. promise. douglas coupland is such a popular subject on the list! he always seems to come up. and that's my pointless comment about that. i won't use this list as a diary, no sir. instead, if you care you can read it for yourself at http://members.tripod.com/~meltingsnow/online.html. gee, the internet has spawned such a large group of people willing to practically sell their soul to strangers all in the name of html codes. yay! belle and sebastian content ====> umm. my cat's breath smells like catfood. teri xxx hey weejay, what happened to the story email chain thing? i was very much enjoying it... +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
