Sinister: Stuart's pants
by Mrs Murdoch 15 Jan '99

15 Jan '99

Hello it's Mrs. Murdoch here, Stuart's mum. Some of you have been talking about pants, and I'm sure you don't want to hear about mine, so I'll tell you about Stuart's. I have been washing them for the last thirty years, you know! He has seven pairs of y-fronts, a different style for every day. Monday: Doctor Who pants Tuesday: "It's for you" telephone pants Wednesday: Pants that say "Felt" on them, which I knitted at nightclass Thursday: Purple paisley pattern pants Friday: Brown on the back and cream on the front pants - Friday night is party night! Saturday: K9 pants, that came with the Doctor Who pants. Sunday: The Lord is a Lamb pants, with a picture of a lamb on the crotch, and John 3:16 on the arse. I have to go now and get my nails done - I'm going into Glasgow tonight to see Daniel O'Donell. Needless to say, I'll be taking some of my own pants in my handbag to throw at that young stud. Love, Mrs. Murdoch ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Nick Drake
by Gabriela Sampaio 15 Jan '99

It's 05:15 am here and I should be sleeping, as I belong to the bed like our dear Friend Gazzoid. Is Blimey another Brit word? Sounds cute..hehehe As u see Gazzoid I never sleep.... At night. I prefer to spend the day sleeping. And now it's all your fault. I'm not in Morpheu's arms because I need to ask you a few things As you live in Manchester, can you confirm if Morrissey really lived somewhere in King's Rd when he was a kid? I spent one afternoon walking up and down that bloody road and couldn't find out which house was his. LOL I'm not na expert on Nick Drake but the 2 songs I've listened too are brilliant: "Saturday Sun"and "Day is Done". Btw... one friend told me that b&s were very much influenced by Nick drake. Is that correct?

Sinister: Newcomer
by F0XinSN0W＠aol.com 15 Jan '99

15 Jan '99

Hello all! I just joined the list a couple of days ago and just wanted to introduce myself before making my B&S observation. Name: Saira (pronounced "sigh-ra" and not as "Sarah" :) I'm 27, and my first exposure to B&S was this past summer, when my cousin lent me his "IYFS" CD. Ever since I heard that, I was hooked. Aside from listening to B&S, my other faves are NewOrder, Joy Division, The Smiths, Moz, The Cure, Bauhaus, Suede, Pulp, Radiohead, Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode, Air, Bjork, St.Etienne, Sugarcubes, Curve, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Echobelly, Cardigans, David Bowie, that's all I can remember off the top of my head. I am in the process of moving to Maryland, and have traveled almost all over the world...but out of all the places I've lived, I consider the UK my home, since I was raised there and spent most of my life there. Now for my observation: someone had mentioned something about seeing "Tigermilk" as an import CD and was wondering if this was Jeepster's new release. I think that's what was mentioned (I accidentally deleted the message). Well, all I know is that this was released before "IYFS" and doesn't make it new. I may be wrong... :) Saira AOL IM: F0XinSN0W, Hacienda33 Email: F0XinSN0W(a)aol.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: underwear?
by azriel 15 Jan '99

15 Jan '99

well, just for the sake of being an exhibitionist, here's my undies: generally i wear jockey for her bikini briefs and a victoria's secret "angel's 2000" bra (i just bought a couple, they're really ace). oh yeah, and i bought some boys batman briefs, but they're like really really small. i had to break the elastic around the thighs to fit into them. however, now i can walk around saying "i'm wearing batman underwear" like i've always wanted to. boxers: i used to wear them in high school. see, it was a private high school and i had to wear a skirt every day, so i wore boxers so that i could sit without my legs crossed. tee hee. -kerry "and my thoughts are turning backwards and i'm picking at the peices of a world that keeps turning the screws into my mind." -the jesus and mary chain, "deep one perfect morning" +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: full moon empty heart
by jessica 15 Jan '99

15 Jan '99

hello, snow angels! we're snowed in here, can barely open our front door due to the abundance of snow blown up against it. which is just as well, since schools have been declared closed tomorrow anyways. i now have the whole day to care for my tamagotchi angel and eat pez. ooh, and listen to the first belly album. which is autographed, by the way, for those of you who are inclined to get jealous. i have stories of hugs from tanya donelly and many photos. she's my idol. for more idol talk, see below. my ex used to say i looked like tanya when my hair was long. his friend said i looked like claire danes. my friend matt says i look like lisa loeb. a bunch of nuts, all of them. i'm clearly a dead ringer for chloe sevigny. this message is bound to be a bunch of little replies to an amalgamation of messages. please, bear with me. grr. jeanette politely put up her hand before asking: >>Question for the Panty Police: I'm wearing a pink satin wonder bra with pink lace panties. Is that okay? Or should both be lace?<< it's a cardinal rule that satin and lace can be mixed with no repercussions, unless you wear them on the third tuesday or second sunday of the month, except in a leap year where they may only be mixed at a ratio of 60% satin to 40% lace. of course, all the above rules are null and void if your undies are blue. us police love blue. it's the colour of fairies. kin wrote, on his way offline: >>And to keep in the tradition of my non B&S content postings, I must urge all UK listees of this wonderful list to go and watch this new series that's just hit your screens. It's called "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" << gosh, how lonely it must be in britain without buffy to occupy your monday nights! buffy is my hero, an absolute idol who defeats evil with tongue in cheek and tolerates highschool with an abundance of irony. don't be put off by the initial silliness of the concept, it's quite ingenious and i'm sure you'll agree that david boreanaz (that's 'angel') is a hottie. whoo, watch it just for his gratuitous shirtless moments. if only he could find out about my lovely underwear...today, pale blue undershirt with a little bow at the top, and blue bikini undies. both cotton. and i must clarify, bikini undies are certainly not the same as high leg...oh heatha, we've got some educatin' to do. see, i also have hanes her way bikinis, which they manufacture in addition to their high leg (french cut) style. the difference is that high cut leg undies go all the way to the waist with (obviously) high legs. bikinis just barely cover the hip and sit very low on the belly, and generally have legs that are more akin to brief style. oh my, i really am quite retentive. however, none of my underthings are colour coordinated in the drawer. that should account for something. cynthia wrote while in loooove: >> I just bought a pair of black knee-high boots. They make me feel like cat woman, or super girl. I wear them with miniskirts and my new love interest can't stop looking at them, or the little bit between the boot and the hem. hehe.<< at the risk of identifying with a demographic or market group, you go cynthia! i own a pair of knee-high boots, shiny black leather with the ultimate platforms, and they are truly a work of art. they make *me* feel like a statue, although i do have to be careful what i wear with them as it's often hard to coordinate with what i affectionately call "sex queen black". head to toe leather usually works best. ha. i'll let you figure out whether or not i'm joking. robert "i'm not related to philip" morris mentioned that he shops at filene's basement in boston: i must say that is one of the best places in the world to get underwear. last i was there, i hit them so hard, left with bags of stuff including a matching guess black lacy underwear and bra set for $8. also of note: the la perla selection. wowee. tara (good to see you back!) widmer tried to fake it: >>Unable to convincingly pull off the "No, I'm actually Canadian" spiel, << this is so sad, people thinking that they could pull that off without saying "eh" or "abooot". and it's in the subtleties: if someone steps on your toe or cuts you off in line, say sorry. if someone crashes into you in a hit and run, chase after them so you can apologise profusely for having been in their way. that's the mark of a true canadian, doormat to the world. i know all this and more, love jessicaxo ps. but what i don't know is why my christmas lights have suddenly stopped working. just like that, for no apparent reason. anyone know why? and if you say because it's past christmas, i'll scream. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * someone had spied on us, i suppose, as we sat beside the canal and ate the sandwiches, drinking not even orangeade or coca-cola but hot milk out of a thermos. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * t i n y s t a r @ w o r l d y . c o m (it's lovely being a girl) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Underwear drawer.
by Gabriela Sampaio 15 Jan '99

15 Jan '99

Hello everybody, Third e-mail by the way. I'm getting more confident, thank God. But it's still hard to try to read about 30 e-mails everyday. I spend almost 1 1/2 doing so.... Aren't you all going to congratulate me?? ;) For Rory.... I don't know how it is where you live, but here my cousin got one of those cute socks at the Japanese district, so I think the Japs invented them. I think they will fit you perfectly. They were made for tiny toes people. Now that would be a problem for me, because mine are not Japanese-like at all, they are pretty long. LOL Someone said that Girlfriend in a coma was written by D. Coupland. Now you tell me, did he write that Generation X one? On the underwear subject: Beth.. I would recommend I trip to Brazil. We have the most lovely underwear and bikinis. And I agree with Jessica, wonderbras are great for self-esteem. They made me feel oh so mighty! Skants and kegs? Thanks Michael, you helped me adding a few more words to my underwear vocabulary. When you say "bodies" you mean those things that look like swimsuits? If you do, I think they are great. I just love men wearing boxer shorts. I think they are very sexy. Anyway, some of them say it's not comfortable, as their things get loose (?!?) -> is that the right word? LOL.. Now, Archel, if you had a crush on men dressed in white, preferably doctors, you would worry about the underwear you were wearing while your car was being crashed or something...LOL... It's just that, well, you never know when it's going to happen, you know? Not the car crash, but meeting a stranger and then... *blush* Sarah? Underwear is one of my favourite songs by Pulp.... ;) What kind of underwear does Jarvis wear?? And on b&s content: what kind of underwear do they wear? LOLOL! I think it was lesley Jo? The one that dreamt that Isobel didn't wear bra? Does anyone have any idea? Maybe Mrs. Murdoch could tell us a bit about Stuart's underwear drawer... LOL Could anyone tell me what is Slow Graffitti? And Stars in their Eyes? I heard someone was playing jarvis Cocker on this one... I was also wondering since when Israel was part of Europe. Well, I have no idea. Go and ask the Israelis. But in my Hostelling book about Europe there was a section about Israel. I considered them part of Middle East, but well... Better stop here. Serious b&s content: I agree with Ana and I could say I'd rather that b&s remained indie. You might call it selfishness but if they were exposed to the masses I think that would be pearls before swine. Besides... I guess I read it in some foreign magazine (obviously! Lol) something like b&s were the kind of people that still thought that photographs could steal your soul. I'm not an expert in b&s, but I guess their behaviour proves that they wouldn't like to be largely known. Am I wrong? I too don't want to overlisten to them. I finish congratulating Lesley Jo for the brilliant phrase: No bachelor has ever experienced such desolate loneliness, as does the spinster; for the bachelor is a man, and the older spinster but a male-like woman. * Dr. Joseph Tanenbaum, _The Riddle of Woman_, 1936 Liked that very much! Oh, and thanks Lesley Jo for sympathising with our "new kid in the class" situation... :) Fortunately there's no "popular" symdrome here... xxx Ciao ;) Gabi +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: gimme some mo'
by jossleag＠iol.ie 15 Jan '99

15 Jan '99

Hello list. Is there anything quite as marvellous as taking days off work for no reason? Well, obviously aside from taking them because you're going off on holidays or something. That would be far better. Nevertheless, I'm farting around for a week and it's joyous. And I heartily recommend listening to Archangel by the Walker Brothers repeatedly when any of you have a minute. This underwear thread is causing no end of excitement 'round these parts and I've been itching (so to speak) to add to the rapidly expanding pile of worn items which have been mentioned. Today I am wearing these tartan lycra Marks & Spencer boxers. They had briefly made me feel all saucy until my ex pointed out that I have the body of Mr Burns when Marge paints him... 'in the nip', as they say. Well, what with having received such a battering to one's confidence, it's no wonder that nobody has seen their tartan stylings since. O, but one day.... *sigh* Someone mentioned John Irving. I've just finished Garp and enjoyed it greatly. Although I was disappointed that part of it was such a re-hash of the 158 Pound Marriage. I'm about to start Infinite Jest, but it's difficult not to procrastinate before attempting such a mammoth task. Perhaps I may have to fortify myself with a couple of vodka and red bulls before setting off. I fear it's contents. Anyways, this must be enough for you all. The problem with you all behaving in such a witty and erudite manner is that I feel forced to share my thoughts and underwear habits with you all. When will I learn, eh? Take care, sweetcheeks.

Sinister: ahh, isobel...
by sarah morgenstein 15 Jan '99

15 Jan '99

hey all, i cannot seem to get 'the gate' out of my head. isobel has such a mesmirizing voice, its so very beautiful. when i saw b&s, she looked like a doll! very short close cropped hair, black sweater, and a long skirt that must have lots of meshy stuff in it to make it so poofy, it really stood out. isobel dolls anyone? to blake, i sympathize, im in the opposite position, i wish i was back at school so i could see my friends cos i really miss them alot. and song association, ugh. i recently picked up the newly released fieldmice double cd, id been resisting the urge to pick it up earlier cos all those love songs are too sad for me to listen to. the boy i thought of while listening to 'coastal'over the summer is no longer in the favourable position for me that he once was, i should have paid more attention to my suspicion! hey, the good kids come in last (and best i hope) right? take care and summer is always right around the corner.... -sarah ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

list snippet----> <<>Has anyone wanted to tell someone honestly how much they mean to you? But >you didn't for the reason it might sound silly, or sad, or strange? I've just discovered that I should have done exactly that with someone two years ago. Great. Happy new year. Life pisses in my soup once more.>> yes yes yes!!! this last line here is the line that has made my whole day an ecstatic one. thank god. i was begining to feel as if this day was just another every day day. (feeling somewhat gertrude steinish with that sentence) thanks. besides for making me squeal like the promiscuous racoons living outside my window at night (possibley annoying every resident in this dorm building) you've also inspired my very first post. i'm lisa. 19 yr old californian girl livin in colorado. i like long walks on the beach and candle lit dinners and am looking for a man with a good sence of humor who isn't afraid to.... ah nevermind. heehee. i hate the beach to tell you the truth. what with the smell of fish and raging post-adolecent hormones in the air. yuck. also, by the way, i too was at one point an incredible string band fan. of course this was after my brief punk rock phase and before the indie-pop,industrial-goth, 80's new wave phases that came later on. who does this leave me? who knows? but the moral of the story is that there is no moral to the story. love, lisa-prophetess of nothing --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Get your free Anti-Social.com email at http://Anti-Social.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------- +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: String, crisp, camping, amoebas, dolly, cakes, etc
by Gary Parkinson 15 Jan '99

15 Jan '99

Hey up again. Cynthia Someone says she be curious about the Incredible String Band. Wahay! Cynthia - they sound like crisp packets in a warm breeze, and the sound of field mice eating bicuits, and poppies opening up, and a VW Microbus with veggie burgers frying on a camping stove, and owls, and children scratching their itchy jumpers, and fizzy pop on grass; all this and more. Get 'The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter' now. Listen to 'A Very Cellular Song' to hear Licorice (I think) say 'Amoebas are very small.' Joy aplenty. Alix: rain is only god playing with his Tiny Tears dolly. Let him have _some_ fun wontcha? The rest of the time he's making sure there are always cakes in the shops and that the lickle raggety children know enough new swear words to keep them happy.
