Hello popsicles: 1. Caesaria evora. I thought I would mention her because I haven't heard anyone mention her. Caesaria Evora, beautiful, beautiful. Say that three times and fall into a dream. 2. Arantxa (almost as good as Caesaria, in my book) spoke of staying late with one's lover and inventing excuses for work ... describes my life to a t-shirt. not the nike type, advertisement-like, more the 1995 orb t-shirt, the one that glows in the dark and only shows the outline of the letters, o-r-b, and those letters only from an angle, so you can't always tell what it spells unless properly um persuaded or um induced. life is all about perception, no? as in sometimes I think i am in love and sometimes I think I am not. All the same, I am still late for work because my boyfriend almost started to cry for no reason this morning. he thinks that everyone has one primary emotion that underlies everything one does, and he thinks his is sadness. This all before he brushed his teeth. he's not like sensitive stan because he can't help being that way I think. he's kinda silly. 3. hello all the lurkers that have come out to say hello. You all saying hello is sort of like how the sun sometimes comes out in january (in California). kind of makes me want to lie in bed all day in a patch of sun through a window and do not much else except smile inside with my eyes closed. And maybe wriggle about, turning so I am warmed evenly, like a sausage. I'm afraid the lurkers don't make me want to smile inside with my eyes closed, but um, you all do tend to pop up and surprise me a little. only a little. You are all reminding me, though, that B+S have yet to come to California, and that Mercury Rev won't be coming either this winter, they're only going to Europe and Japan, and I am sad about that. 4. lesley jo is very cute, and so is fluffy and for lack of a better picture, I imagine them walking down a street together in their ancient bookstraps and kneehighs on some anonymous suburban street discussing their hello kitty wallets and maybe good hiccup cures. byebye Cynthia ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

dear diary: well, it's been three weeks now, and that pus-filled blister is still taking up residence on my left testicle. i know i should go to the doctor, but i'm afraid he'd gas me and sodomize me while i was "in the land of tron". i'm thinking about writing in to the list about the snorks. i mean, c'mon, they were a complete rip-off of the smurfs except they lived underwater and they had hoses coming out of their head, and, oh yeah, i don't think they had a gay one like the smurfs did. but i don't want to clutter up the list with such bile. god, i sure hope someone doesn't write in about fraggle rock or something like that. that sort of crap is liable to bust my blister. good night diary. ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Re: Sinister: "All videos are vile...."

>From: "Jordi Trenzano i Vilar" <jordi-tv(a)olemail.com> >Subject: Sinister: "All videos are vile...." > >.... Said Morrissey at the 1984 NME Poll. But yesterday, at the >spanish satellite tv 40 TV they showed "Is it wicked not to care ?". Morrissey also said "all reggae is vile" - he is a notoriously devious, truculent and unreliable witness. Nice that Belle and Sebastian proved him wrong though. Blur tried to when he said that pop music was dying, but they fell flat on their fat faces. But I like them now - I'm very open-minded me. Now that Belle and Sebastian have shown him to be a liar and a cheat on the video score, I think they should follow it up with a classic reggae release just to stick the boot in. I read somewhere that Morrissey thinks Belle and Sebastian aren't 'hard enough', so I think he needs to be taught a lesson. I still haven't caught up with my digests, but did anyone else spot Sarah Martin as a contributor to today's crappy 'alternative top 100 albums' in The Guardian. 'Bryter Layter' at No.1 which is stupid because it should have been on the 'banned' list of records that are always banged on about in these lists. And to allow 'A Hard Day's Night' is daft too, especially when the album that always gets a slagging (Let it Be) is banned. Clueless fuckers, the Guardian. I wonder what Sarah voted for? I bet it was Crowded Hou ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Now tell me Stuart, do you like it like this?
by bkim0＠dept.english.upenn.edu 29 Jan '99

29 Jan '99

Hmmm....is it the Contours with "Do You Love Me?" I'm an oldies radio junkie but more often than not the damn DJs will barely acknowledge the song title ("Yes, indeed, we are feelin' groovy on this Tuesday afternoon..." etc.) much less the actual artist. For those one-hit wonders this is sometimes annoying, but I'm pretty sure about this one. However, I always thought the lyric said "I can mashed potato, do the twist" telling the object of his affection all the many dances he can do. Wasn't this song also played ad nauseum during the _Dirty Dancing_ soundtrack's monopoly on FM radio? Or am I imagining things? Heard "She's Like The Wind" by Patrick Swayze the other night, it was good in a sentimental way as much as I tried to resist. Though "Hungry Eyes" is my favorite guilty pleasure off of that particular album. Anyway. Mr. Gardiner, tell me what I've won!

dear "biscuit nibbling, cardie wearing" diary... today is taking forever to fall into something better...i can't tune my guitar and therefore i can't follow the beautiful people around singing them my words of adoration...all my advances are in vain...they walk around with their mournful faces not looking behind them at the little redhead sighing in their shadows...on valentine's day will i send them cards with lovesick poetry or will i sit alone on my porchswing wishing for someone to fill my postbox? i know they love belle and sebastian and one of them looks quite a bit like stuart murdoch and i like him most of all...his sensitive gestures and constantly calm face...he nodded at me once and i fell back against a wall terribly smitten and out of breath...i wish i could wake up to him every morning and read him oscar wilde poetry and fairy tales every night... love, m.elise +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: sinister: steps vs Gomez
by Graham MacArthur 29 Jan '99

29 Jan '99

hello sinisterines > ok everyone, is it just me or does isobel sound almost identical to mokey from > fraggle rock. monkeys, fraggle rock, *sigh*, i just want to be five again. I agree wholeheartedly with the listees who would rather dance to steps ( or other popmusic) than gomez, because even though the steps themselves are hardly the sharpest crayons in the box, they're so pure in what they do, and have the exuse for plenty of popstar grinning and dance routines on top of the pops! well, i'd rather glitter with them than groan with gomez....they're dull, like catatonia, who I know, aren't bad.....but we should expect more! music that gives you that feeling that you just want to sing sing sing in adoration! abba rule the school. Steps could have Gomez in a fight, or at least a forty-hour foxtrot....what do other listee's think of the steps? I bought a record of fifites film soundtracks from a charity shop. It's wonderful. and may I praise tag, list crush of mine, i thought the nme poll was terrible, but i did get one good laugh out of it. Poor billie. James Dean bradfield's most desirable person being Catherine Zeta Jones. I love My Life Story, i'm a bit of a rubbish fan, having on a 7" single of King of Kissingdom, and a lost-long-ago Strumpet badge, treasures. My tape of the album was lost in my big box of tapes, and never found again. The were just so many of them! on the gatefold record they're all standing round a lip-shaped sofa, looking so stunnningly dressed. If I could be so bold as to ask if anyone would be willing to tape some more of their work for me, could you e-mail me personally? I'm sure I have something I could tape/find in return. (beg, sniffle) I'm fearing valentines day already. I'm so full of romantic notions and experince so little romance. Senstive Stan would sympathise with me, if he is real, that is, at the thought of not getting a single card.... fear not! there is money ready to be spent to make me feel better! love Erica email: btinternet.com ************************* send chocolate: 8 bengeo street bengeo hertford Herts "She dewlt among the untrodden ways Beside the springs of Dove A miad whom there were none to praise And very few to love" +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Isobel, Mokey, Doozers, and Happy Meals
by Arthur Chan 29 Jan '99

29 Jan '99

You know, the worst thing about Fraggle Rock was that I could never find any "Fraggle Rock" toys:( I don't think they made any. does anyone know? Sorry about the fraggle rock content for everyone who's not interested but I think for some of us, it is still a good memory. I loved those little doozers. I could never find a little figurine of one though. I figured at some point, McDonald's would make some little "Happy Meal" toys or something but they never did! What a shame.

Sinister: He's as sensitive as can be
by Alan Smithee 29 Jan '99

29 Jan '99

Sensitive Stan - a bit like a corny old joke that everybody know s the punch line to, but chuckles at the inevitable recognition because it's easier than thinking of something new. Or maybe the list equivalent of Embrace - you hear them once, and they sound exactly like you knew they would. And then you don't need to hear them again. And it's not me either.

Sinister: Thoughts and Observations on a sinister-digest V3 #36
by Brandt S. Fundak 29 Jan '99

Okay so I got chewed out for my barrage of e-mail that i sent out in my zeal of being back on the list for the first time in 6 months. So now that my knuckles have been rapped, here we go. first, the really clever bit about Pennington... > > Date: Fri, 29 Jan 1999 05:12:29 PST > From: "Julian Bester" <julianbester(a)hotmail.com> > Subject: Sinister: Mick McMick > > Does everybody else call Mick McMick "Prick McMick" when they're > slagging him off behind his back? > I have never called him this. However, I have filed it away for future reference. Now on to Belle and Sebastians shows and me being bitter. > Hey, any of you Ann Arbor people know if B&S are playing here anytime > soon? I suppose I could check the paper but then my posting would be very > brief and wouldn't have any B & S content at all. This would be a show in Detroit which would have been nice for me since I live an hour away. Boy that show would have been great. Too bad like Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, it doesn't exist. Now on to love. > I want to go off topic now. You know when you go out with someone and > you're not sure of them and then you fall in love with them, but you > aren't sure why because you think you could do better even though you > don't know what would be better, but you know it's not this?

And you lot are all > sensitive sorts and I would value your opinion. I have had this feeling before and the best thing was that I was still hurting from a relationship like this one you describe and it made me throw away THE ONE. How's that for having shitty timing? Now I am alone and spend my days in coffee shops becoming a poster boy for colon cancer and not even knowing it. Well I guess I do know it, but I won't admit that I know it. I wanted to kiss one of my best friends last night because we were talking about kissing. That could have been an awkward moment. My dog is still dead.

Sinister: fraggle rock!
by Ginger Nance 29 Jan '99

29 Jan '99

That was one of my favorite shows when I was younger! I always felt bad for the little guys who built the crystal things--those inconsiderate Fraggles. Does everyone remember the mean human/ogre-ish people who lived above ground? My roommate my freshman year's mother looked just like the wife. I was afraid to tell her b/c I didn't want to offend her, but fortunately we had a good sense of humor about it and would always sing "down in fraggle rock" when her parents visited. Okay. I'm done rambling now!
