Sinister: How to talk sinister
by Bradley Kenneth Baron 30 Jan '99

One -- use the word "bollocks" as often as possible. Also "smashing" and any other British slang will do. Say you read all the time, preferably Kafka's "The Trial." As well, anything by Dostoevsky and Twain are now acceptable. Do people here have to start out being fake by reading the Smiths list, or can you jump into it here? Sorry if this is in the FAQ. Belle and Sebastian are going to be VH-1 Artist of The Month in March, and their new video for Dirty Dream 2 will be in heavy rotation on MTV and large corporate alterna-rock stations in the next few weeks. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: "stuart murdoch was wearing nothing but a smile"
by Genevieve Wesley 30 Jan '99

30 Jan '99

it's a new world,list... you know,maybe it's the music that creates such a warm longing for good old times,nostalgia..but i've never seen such a list that was 'I'm 25 and I'm old!' Lord Almighty! you're just pups! Sure there's loads of kids running around doing loads of things,promising futures (that Italian boy with the golden feet) and I wish I'D been a top ballerina or a world-cup player but is it really because you love whatever they get to be doing at a young age,or is it the glamour and fame etc etc the sparkling profession that rises you up above the others,or is it a desire more ego thing to be the best because if it's just the latter then it wouldn't really make you happy anyways...LIFE IS TOO PRECIOUS sweethearts don't cry over what could've been,enjoy life,now,..even the simple,un-glittery moments... "Thankyou, go-getter genevieve!" errr..yes,sorry about that little above outburst,don't know what came over me. Oh Tami..I couldn't help you with Physics..i also had my midterms,and FAIL FAIL miserable fail...and math...I REALLY do not think teachers should take marks off if you had the right answer but did normal brackets instead of squiggely ones..sigh,french is the only thing savig my sorry behind. I mean..futher on girls vs boys..girls..POO..I wish I looked like Serge Gainsbourg,then I could seduce all those embittered teachers,help them discover themselves and pass..but seriously,i am upset,i can do better..i know i can. you know,when i have children,the main thing i will do is not let them watch a lot of tv..i don't CARE if they aren't prodigys,or gold medalists. I will certainly never let them have teletubbies,those things are tools of evil! poor things,have to be brainwashed so early? if anything,i think father ted would teach them more,develop a nice sense of humour...and i would also let them watch nature programs,those help you learn. award shows are really starting to bother me lately! before i used to be mesmeriszed by all the pretty clothing,but now,just looking at all these "brilliant" actors..i don't know,i'm a mild-mannered person but i think i'd just like to grab their prada purses smack em upside the head and say something badass like "up it,bitch" (a bit of stuart murdoch OOMPH!) i mean,their shows stink. I'm so excited at the prospect of Roolz.I can't wait till my hunky life-sized poster of keith in pink leg warmers arrives! the mere thought!And the Roolze 'Fun Factz' sheet,where you get to find out that windswept tag likes puppies,making sweet love and eating jam straight from the jar... is it only going to be the two members then? make sure you don't go to far down that savage garden route, we want sexy sexy sexy! anyways,so when's the new Belle and Sebastian competietion?i've got a neat-o idea for a prize.. the prize for the new competetion would let the winner have dinner with stuart david and then get to sing 'je t'aime...moi non plus' with him. stuart murdoch and stuart david are starring in an adult film.(it's true,i swear) stu m will be mister bojangles and stu d will be captain gingersnap. it'll be nice when Tigermilk's released again, (but sweet matthew's tape has made the wait bearable)..but let's not kill ourselves here,at the end of the day vinyl..original..money..whatever, does it matter!? love and wishes, genevieve p.s Sensitive Stan, I'll be your girlfriend! If i go to far and i touch your bountifull bosom you can slap me. we can even go up into the lighthouse,old man withers might stare at you,(he lives there)but it's just because he's lonely. ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Hello, I'm new
by Jan Imgrund 30 Jan '99

30 Jan '99

Hello sensitive people from the biscuit-fraggling list, Im new to this list and just wanted to say Hello, Im new to this list and introduce myself. So. My name is Jan Imgrund, Im 24, a german living in Paris. I love B&S, Tindersticks (seems to be the obligatory couple?!), L Cohen and Oscar Wilde, though the latter never sang in public (by the way, the story with the nightingale is available on the internet, at http://www.bibliomania.com/Fiction/wilde/stories/index.html . But dont go reading it there you must read it from an old, leather-wrapped book with beautiful illustrations in it. Tears look very good on the pages, whereas they can destroy keyboards.) I love this list already people who write endless messages with complete sentences, actually spelling out laugh out loud, not a single emoticon :-)... Sorry for that. I think Ill shut up now for 2 more weeks, as Ive been told. Too bad Ive missed sensitive Stan I think I would have liked him... Regards, Jan Imgrund/ http://perso.club-internet.fr/jimgrund/index.html "I hope you have not been leading a double life, pretending to be wicked and really being good all the time. That would be hypocrisy." -Oscar Wilde +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Love B&S? -> Love Eric�s Trip
by Aileen Hammond 30 Jan '99

30 Jan '99

Hi Sinisters, The reason IŽm writing is to tell you about this beautiful soft-lovelost-lo-Fi band called EricŽs Trip. I fell in-love with this band some years ago when I was lost and found..So if you like the sweet soft voice of Stuart M. and IsobelŽs child-like voice..you will definitely fall for ERICŽS TRIP. ..A Canadian band from SubPop Records..Unfortunatly the band have stopped playing together :( ... BUT we still have their sweet music. Their music: Warm-4track-broken love songs whith little bits of rock-filled-stars..They left us 4 beautiful albums : Love Tara, Long Days Ride till Tomorrow, Forever Again, Purple Blue + loads of EPŽs and 7"... The band members are now working seperately/solo. Their bands: Elavator To Hell, Broken Girl/Julie Doiron, Moonsocket and Purple Knight. Leave room in your love-filled-heart for EricŽs Trip.. If there are any Sinisters who have seen them live, have any EricŽs Trip stories, or have any live tapes to copy, I would love to hear from you. yours, Giita P.S. Sorry about the non-B&S content.. ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: I'm only giving you what you've come to expect, just another post about stow t-shirts and sex
by weejay 30 Jan '99

30 Jan '99

Nice to know that my t-shirt has stirred up a debate... not that I'm particularly concerned with people making comment on it, you know, I don't expect people to approach me in the street or anything. It's just to dress more and more bizarrely in front of my friends - the more rawk they get the more gay I get. And I suppose this was aimed at me, your fluffyness: > Look! That is why Pop Music (TM the duke I supose) is so shite! > People are saying, oh well it's alright, and settling for dull boring > plodder, like Gomez, Catatonia and Gary Dad to name but a few! > ITS YOUR FAULT!!! Have some standards! Say, NO THIS *IS > CRAP AND I WILL NOT play along with the easy way out > anymore!!! Heck! To quote John McKeown of the yummy fur (bear with me here) "Chart pop targets are a mile wide and there's no satisfaction in hitting them" that's to say that while you (and I frankly) find these people boring they are on OUR side i.e they are making music for arts sake unlike 75% of the people in the chart and we're not going to change things while we fight amongst ourselves. BTW I've changed my mind about Gay Dad, by the 5th or 6th listen it's just dull. Still, better that than fucking boyzone. Right? Do you people know who is number one over here? The offspring! We need a revolution now. What else was there, oh yeah, a friendly little mail I got from geocities informing me they'd been taken over by 'yahoo!' Hmmn, the temptation of Tripod grows stronger by the day. That little logo at the bottom of my page makes me feel ill. Rootjoose? Aren't they christian rock? That just scares me. Not sure about the dearth of imaginary characters popping up at the moment. Sleazy Stan's just like ye olde unreformed brad, doncha think? Plus that disgusting fraggle rock rhyme, which I remember from school too. I can remember 2 more verses aswell. Oooh, and... > 1. Nick Drake "Bryter Layter" (1970) > 2. Tom Waits "Rain Dogs" (1985) > 3. The Band "The Band" (1969) > 4. Gene Clark "No Other" (1974) > 5. Nick Drake "Five Leaves Left" (1969) > 6. The Beatles "A Hard Day's Night" (1964) Five of my favorite albums (plus someone called 'gene clarke' !?!?) I have new found respect for mus biz creative types. My dad's got 'rain dogs' - it irritates my stepmother no end. Best line: "I never could stand that dog." It's funny in context, believe me. MLS, a few people have informed me, are still around (well, it's Jake really...) and have a new album out in a while, having found a new record label. I think Sex & Violins was done via parlophone so it's probably died, unfortunately. Oh, and finally I've finished all my work and now I'm going off for a couple of weeks so you won't be hearing from me for a while. If anyone wants to contact me I may check an account I have at boywiththearabstrap(a)chickmail.com from time to time. Glad to get a semesters work of essays out of the way in one week - One was about disney and I found some really scary sites while researching the subject. Go and check out http://www.qualia- net.com/religion/joe_lion.html This is a description of how Disney's lion king is blatantly attempting to convert america's children to witchcraft and homosexuality. It's not a joke. Well, I'll see you all in a couple of weeks james xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <nofill> "Across the mountains of your chest, through the holes in your string vest" Inane rambling, manic rants, funky piccies, pointless tables, self indulgence, emetic colouring...
