Sinister: underwear!
by sarah morgenstein 13 Jan '99

13 Jan '99

hello again... now you can all see my poor typing in action! if my lack of capitals is bothersome, please let me know and ill make an effort to correct it. underwear is one of my favourite pulp songs and the continuing chat about undergarments is amusing, ill bare my stars and olympic torches today, but only in words! there is a definite lack of snow here in Connecticut so anybody who wishes to send their snow my way, id gladly accept it. if i didnt read it here, i would not have known that b&s are up for a potenetial award. ill have to agree with whoever commented that theyd prefer to keep their belle and sebastian cozy and quiet- and far away from commercial radio. thank goodness for college radio or i wouldnt be here right now. time to read more john irving... take care and talk to you later! -sarah ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Hello, This is my first and possibly my last time so bear with me, I so wanna unsubscribe, but then I remember that as I finish my exams tomorrow and have nothing for 3/4 weeks, I may well be turning to you guys for entertainment of sorts. so there you go. I must admit it was quite funny coming back to uni after xmas and seeing peoples faces as they saw i had 496 new emails, After reading about ten I gave up (poor I know but the next time I checked it I had 120 so what the hey) honestly has noone else anything better to do. Anyway that's it except I think Evan is cool but then my taste in men is not to be desired, me and this guy I liked aren't speaking, something to do with me being nasty to an american girl, she asked for it, she had a bis tshirt on for god's sake and she kept saying 'well in america it's like this'. But then should learn not to be judgemental and appreciate others cultures. I'm not bitter, honest. So hopefully I have now alienated at least half the list, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHAAAAH BYe ANDREA +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: next generation stadium rockers
by Jonas Svensson 13 Jan '99

13 Jan '99

Hi everybody (serious b&s content in this one) i´m listening to the recent swedish broadcast, lovely. i checked the webpage of my local recordstore (www.skivhugget.se) and made a b&s search and found to my suprise that they had tigermilk listed on import-cd. could this be the new jeepster release, i didn´t know that jeepster had set a release date. the page said 99-02-20, hope they are right. insanly expensive if it isn´t bootleg (277skr, ~25pound). i also found belle and sebastian mentioned in the newspaper. in an article about the state of modern literature, i might as well translate a little bit of it, since it´s an unusual place to find b&s content. and it tells is what those lines really are about :) excuse my poor english i´m doing this quick, and i didnt really understand it in swedish but it sounded nice "i´m not as sad as dostoyevsky, i´m not as clever as mark twain, sings stuart murdoch in the glasgow band belle & sebastianon a new ep, this is just a modern rock song. in the lowtuned and careful (hmm) there is a powerreservoeir, something that makes the words powerful and real. It´s about to remain in ones tiredness and ambivalence, about observing the citys state from a passioned distance: no theatre, no played safety.. (then he starts to go on on writers today)" (gp del3) oh yes and the brit awards, i´d like to say that i hope that they´ll win and become the biggest band in the world. but then would we really like to see them live at wembley. on a second thought, i might want that anyway. i mean consider all those people singing along. and one last thing was it only one song that they didn´t play in the swedish broadcast?? take care -jonas +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: capsule living
by jessica 13 Jan '99

13 Jan '99

bonjour sinisterines, there's even more snow in toronto, but at least it's sunny today and not grey and blah the way it has been lately. there's even been a bit of controversy, as i mistakenly called naomi wolf's book "the booty myth" in a truly freudian slip of the tongue. kevan "you know you want it" cooke wrote: >>Anyway, must go, you're not subscribed just so you can read my drivel are you? You're here to read about Jessica's underwear. I know I am.<< oh good, i was just trying to decide whether or not to wear nice underwear today, and kevan has made up my mind or me. so you all have him to thank for my wonderbra ultra push-up (yes, i do believe in miracles) and little white bikini underwear. beth "do you smell burning?" tilston wrote: >>P.S I intend to completely overhaul my underwear drawer. Any suggestions gratefully accepted<< if you have not already done so, rush out immediately and purchase any sort of wonderbra push-up thing. it's not possible to feel down when your boobs are so up. shall i make a bad joke about cleavage? no, i don't think so. or rather, on the contrary. also necessary: bikini underwear, none of those dreadful thong things because they cover up the "tasty part of the belly" (as a boy once said to me). miss fluffy puffy sarah wrote: >>Lesely Jo what is a s-u-v? is it rude???<< i admit that i am not lesley jo, but i do know what a suv is and would like to show off. it is a sport utility vehicle, a jeep or a cherokee or range rover. they tend to be purchased by middle-aged business men wearing scuba watches and sport sandals, armed with the belief that with these rugged accessories, they're able to take off into the wilderness if they so desire. it do wish it was rude, but it's more pathetic depending on who owns the suv. and then miss fluffy puffy sarah wrote: >>Can we have a shoes thread?<< ooh, i've had to restrain myself from buying more shoes, it's one of those obsessions along with underwear that can get really out of control. i've also been wearing trainers lately (i do find that word preferable to 'running shoes'), of the acupuncture variety, they're grey and black with hightech-looking orange bits on them. also in heavy rotation are my john fluevog angels, my dr marten mary janes, my platform shoes, and my truly canadian winter boots: big and clompy and guaranteed to 30 below zero. my current shoe obsession is a pair of very furry hush puppies slippers, they're quite glam and seem just the thing to dance around the house in on a wintry day, singing along with lisa germano and making frozen pizzas. ooh, i'm also having a love affair with the clarks winter boots, the ones that are made of sheepskin lined suede. mmm, suede...i wish brett anderson would go on another awards show with his blouse unbuttoned and shake it for us. but i suppose his shaking days are over. hmm, must brave the winter snow and ice and go to work. as previously mentioned, if anyone would like to offer me a job that is not working in retail, please do. not on speed, jessicaxo * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 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: i'm in my skivvies, yes
by Christa Chaffinch 13 Jan '99

13 Jan '99

Well, no not really. But all of this talk about underwear, I'm all a-twitter. I like to wear matching sets, today I have on a lovely black ensemble with brown and cream flowers. Oohhhh! I feel so naughty. heehee! So, I wanna know how you all feel about the word "panties". I, for one, HATE that word so much. It makes me think of pedophiles or somehting. Yuck. I cringe whenever I hear it used in a conversational manner. When my boy Dan was in elementary school, the kids called him "Danny Panty" as a nickname. That infuriates him, mostly because it doesn't even rhyme. B&S content: someone stole my copy of Tigermilk out of my car around new years. Boo! Where is the holiday spirit, people? I am happy with the list lately, too. I'm all sunshine and bunnies over all of you. love -christa ~*~ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: dear aunty gerty, thank you for the shitty christmas present
by Alix Campbell 13 Jan '99

13 Jan '99

hello my budding porn stars underwear - mine's purple today. but not matching purple. actually, it's more plum and lilac respectively. though, if you've seen the photo of moi on't website, you'll know that knowledge of my underwear isn't a very wholesome thought. oh, will someone please remind me what a 'curate's egg' is. i've been told at least twice, and still can't remember. i know why i can't remember, it's because the person telling me looked like a guinea pig. lovely lovely mr. dodd's, the rodent-like head of english.....straight out of james joyce, he was. remember: coca cola is NOT an effective substitute for mouthwash. lahve alix ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "No, Patrick," Luis says. "They were . . . broiled" It's silent in the boardroom as I contemplate this, thinking it through before asking, finally, "What's 'broiled,' Luis?" "I'm not sure," he says. "I think it involves . . . a pan" +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: eurovision
by Patrick Osborne 13 Jan '99

13 Jan '99

Someone mentioned the german on eurovision, yes he was pretty funny but he undermined the basic concept of eurovision, which is that yes it's naff but the contestants must take it seriously, therein lies its naffness and wonder. some friends of mine and I got together last year and ate food of each nationality when the song was playing, which led to some rather interesting juxtapositions of food (pickled herring - Sweden, bratwurst - Germany, etc.) but it was lots of fun to do and recommended. glad to hear that mew enjoyed our little euro-culture fest, just remember it when your american friends go on about cultured Europe, ha ha. I'm hoping to be in israel this year when it all happens (just by accident!), incidentally, since when was Israel in Europe? B&S content: in one way it would be great if they won the Brit award but in another way not...I've always hated that attitude of people who won't listen to a band they formerly liked once they've become more widely successful, or who claim they've "sold out" but B&S winning a Brit just doesn't seem to gel with me somehow...

Sinister: and Brits go on and on
by ana simic 13 Jan '99

13 Jan '99

It might be, dear clarence, that I am one of the people who want their bands to stay 'indie'... So what? I really do not see any advantages of a band like b&s being on the radio (or, oh my God, MTV) on heavy rotation. I _don't_ want to 'overlisten' them against my will. I absolutely to not have anything against 'sharing' this band with other people (that is what I'm actually doing on this mailing list... ..by the way). But there simply _is_ a difference in sharing b&s with you guys and sharing ..hmm...e.g. Robbie(heheh, yes do think he's cool...*s*) with millions of other people. That's just got to do with the fact that b&s are different.And I hope you'd agree with that. I'll try to be more funny on my next mailings...hmm..This whole thing is preoccupying me far too much. take care *Ana* ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Evil elf
by Beth Tilston 13 Jan '99

13 Jan '99

Hello sinisterines, I tried to mail you yesterday but there is an evil elf who redirects all of my emails. Of course, he is a cyberelf- he doesn't exist in reality. Anyway, my name is Beth. I did join the list before christmas but then I had to go home where I don't have email. Ethan may remember me. I tried to pull him by offering him a kitkat. Bribery hey, it works every time. Well I am sitting here in the university computer room in my new homeboy pants. they are VERY baggy. Underneath them, I have a pair of old blue knickers which don't go with my sexy topshop bra at all. I don't own a 'set' of underwear. What does this say about my character? I am impressed all the humorous posts that I have read since I got back from being in posh isolation (wa-hey!), especially by archel. Will you be my friend? Anyway, if anyone is interested, I got a guitar for christmas. It is a lovely shade of green and everyone who has met it is impressed. I bought it from a magical guitar land in Wigan which is populated only by teenage chinese girls. At the moment I know A, E and D chords. D is my favorite as it is very happy. Anybody want to suggest their favourite chords? (Just ignore me, I'll probabley go away). On the subject of books (yes I know you've finished talking about that but i am a bit behind), I would like to recommend Douglas Coupland. If anyone else has already mentioned him, well done, he rocks. Anyway, the room I am in looks a bit hazy, I think it may be on fire so I am going to go now. Actually, it may just be that the thin air in here is making me go mad. Love from Beth XXXXX :) P.S I intend to completely overhaul my underwear drawer.

Sinister: No Easy Way To Be Free...
by PJMiller 13 Jan '99

13 Jan '99

I've subscribed again. I was even quicker than Keith. Apparently I have to wait a week before posting, so don't tell Paul about this one - tee hee. Keith, I've got Odds and Sods too, it's great, full of classic WHO performances from the 60s and 70s, isn't it?. My favourite lyric comes from Postcard, by The Ox, ladies and gentlemen: There's miles of Frankfurters and people who hurt us in Germany apparently inspired by over-zealous customs officials. Cracker, la. By the way Keith, who's this Ross bloke you're knocking about with? It's not Ricky Ross is it? What's your favourite Odds and Sods lyric? Weejay, perhaps your friends shoved that note under your door and a freak gust of cartoon wind blew it onto your bed. That would explain it. Mister Moore, I'd be only too happy to furnish you with a Denim tape. Mind you, I haven't got a working tape deck at the moment, so it might be a bit of a wait. There's a bit of a tape queue too, including Sid Snot, so if you get a better offer, I'd take it. My mum's got my Felt and Pastels stash, so that's out. I'm staring at the screen trying to think of some B&S content, but it's just not happening. I think I'll have a fag and try again later.
