Sinister: Monica Queen
by weejay 13 Jan '99

13 Jan '99

The other night - um, tuesday I think - I was listening to radio 4 and a drama thingy came on about a (fictional) band from the seventies, and their rise and fall, etc. It wasn't especially good, just your usual R4 play stuff, but I thought I recognised the voice of the singer and sure enough, when the credits came up at the end, it was none other than our own Monica Queen. Coo. It made up for a strange night as when I got home I found a note from some friends on my bed, which is really bizarre as I am sure that I locked the door. It's a wierd feeling to know that someone - even someone you trust - has been in your private area without your supervision or consent even, but anyway, I digress. I was out at the rehersal of the band these 2 people are in (they've got 3 songs so far: the slow one, the fast one and the one about me) and I took it upon myself to be unpleasant about the stereophonics, mainly saying that they had one song they played slightly faster sometimes. The response to this was that B&S songs all sounded similar. Well, I don't think so, obviously, but is this a common conception..? Amongst the B&S exposed but non- fans that is. As for her fluffyness's latest challenge, she said "lar lar lar, lar, la la laaaaar, lar lar lar lar, laaar la la larrrrr!" which is, if I'm not mistaken, For Tomorrow by Blur and therefore not embarrasing in the slightest. keep that flood of postings coming, james.

Sinister: la la la, la, la la laaaaaa
by ar981611＠student.paisley.ac.uk 13 Jan '99

13 Jan '99

Kevan, I bow to your superior knowledge. It IS the theme to the Banana Splits. Although the theme to Last of the Summer Wine fits too. And I would have thought that it was na, na, na not la, la, la for the Banana Splits. Sarah, stop it now please. This is troubling me greatly, as I do not like to find myself singing the theme tune to Last of the Summer Wine at any time. Even if it isn't even the right answer. And even if I use the word 'even' too much. Oh and I saw Evan Dando at Glastonbury once. He was trying to find the stage that he should have been on about twenty minutes earlier. Some of you may have been there. Anyway he was very stoned and looked very dazed and missed his slot, but got up on top of a caravan at the edge of the backstage area and sang some songs to passers-by. It was very pleasant. I don't know why everybody hates him. maybe it was the association with Courtney Love which makes him somewhat akin to Billy Corgan in that respect. That's all folks, I'm off to study for these exams whch are getting a bit too close for comfort. It is still cold but not yet snowing. But I do have an excuse to wear the lovely brown cardie with toggles on it which my mum knitted for me. It is a hybrid cardigan-duffle and is possible the ultimate in B&S wear. Highly recommended, and any knitters amongst you can have the pattern if you want it and you ask me nicely.

Sinister: Surgical Stockings
by Kevan Cooke 13 Jan '99

Several people felt moved to mention the sweaty German from last year's Eurovision. Yes, he was the best, and yes he should have won. I have to admit that not only did I vote for him, but I have this site amongst my bookmarks: http://www.guildo-horn.com/ I can't read a word of german, but I'm sure it's all very funny. Strange thing was when I tried to vote for him it took me ages to get through, but when my girlfriend voted for the act that came third she got through straight away... conspiracy anyone? I for one am looking forward to the religious unrest in Israel when they try to hold this year's competition in Jerusalem on the Sabbath. Check out the latest at one of these top Eurovision sites: http://www.geocities.com/TelevisionCity/1812/eschome.htm http://www.chris-m.demon.co.uk/index2.htm David Moore observed that: > Chris Leonard ate ail and got smelly. The remedy for this is supposed > to be to eat lots of fresh parsley Careful David, the way Chris has been going he'll end up eating a mouthful of Persil instead. Mind you, that might just do the trick. Fluffy, those la la laars sounded like the Banana Bunch or Munch Bunch or People being Crazee in Stupid Costumes on Kiddies TV in the Seventies or whatever it was they were called. 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.

Sinister: Grovelling/Baseball Boots
by David Moore 13 Jan '99

13 Jan '99

Hi All, Eeeek! Sorry, sorry, sorry! Sarah, please accept my most humble apologies for making you bristly instead of Fluffy. Hope pooey floo gone soon. Shoes thread? (I can certainly do older, if by no means states-person like) I was dead chuffed the other day to find at long last another pair of black Converse baseball boots, as the previous pair had worn out with holes in the soles that got my feet wet in the slightest rain. Feel really bouncy again now. Bye, Who's Next (?)

Sinister: Divine Comedy and B&S goes POP!
by Clarence Tsui, Hong Chee 13 Jan '99

13 Jan '99

Dear all, Main reason for this post concerns Neil Hannon's Divine Comedy. Being an outcast stationed in Hong Kong, I would like to plead for anyone who can help me in locating DC's latest spate of singles on CD and cassette. Will pay heaps (sort of...) B&S content: Personally, I would wish that everyone would get to appreciate the greatness of Belle & Sebastian, and by winning the Brits newcomer thing Stuart M and his friends surely will convert lots more people. I don't mind Billie fans getting into B&S... it's those who maintains that their idols staying "indie" and this skint who are implausible and stuck-up. Ta da, dearies Clarence +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Hello! I've just joined up with the digest and look forward to reading more from all you lovely characters. In the mean time, I'm Sarah (from the plain old U.S.,sigh) and I was very lucky to catch Belle and Sebastian in Boston this past fall, it was a beautiful show. I'm currently enjoying the new record. Catch you all later! ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Post-ruling, the official account
by petula 13 Jan '99

13 Jan '99

Salut tout le monde, Here I am, back in Toronto after a nice long trip to see my Pumpkinny across the big drink. Coming home to 5 foot-high snowdrifts doesn't do much for my morale, let me tell you. What better way then to cheer myself up then to post an account of what we got up to? The first big event was a jaunt down to London to see Saint Etienne and attend the Sinister christmas social at the Po' Cafe. Saint Etienne were good, though I missed not having more actual beats to fill the songs up. And the backing singers should have realised they weren't performing with Celine Dion or Bruce Springsteen. Put it away missus! But Sarah was a vision in a sparkly gold top and the ever-present boa. Sightings: the fantastic Emmy-Kate from Kenickie! And Simon Price, who looked truly ridiculous in his late 80-s polka-dot shirt and a christmas button that flashed on and off. The Sinister social was really lovely. The Po' Cafe is the cutest place ever. It's tucked away on a tiny street in Covent Garden, away from the hustle and bustle of annoying tourists. I guess I'm technically a tourist, but I rule so it doesn't count. Anyhow, we arrived to find a big spread of veggie food and friendly faces. Our Trousers was the perfect host. He ran a tight ship, even ensuring that the secret santa presents were distributed in alphabetical order. And Papercuts' sleeve is done in a gorgeous silver paper, so you know he's got good taste. And that's enough, because Trousers shouldn't get too many compliments or it'll go to his head. Big hello to Pam, it was cool to see you again after all these years. And the late-night fish & chips were delicious! Hello also to lovely ms. Sezzie, who's made it over from Australia and is now a Harrods girl. Tim Hopkins had us all in stitches, chocolate consultant indeed! And thank you to whoever put the over-sized Rubix cube in the secret santa bag, it's very cool and has been an excellent ice-breaker at parties chez Attercliffe Road. The days leading up to the big 25 were delightful. Princess Racheeee showed me all the best shopping spots in central Manchester and how to flag down a big scary bus to Picadilly, usually driven by a grumpy driver who shouts at you if he has to go get a new ticket roll. Pumpkinny and I also DJ'd at Smile, though it was really 80-20% as I hadn't done it in years and was in a state of panic whenever it was my turn to mix in the next song. It was freezing, too. But I'm proud to say that I helped out at the third-from-last-ever Smile, at least at the Star and Garter. Let's hope it pops up again sometime soon. Warrender, John and the lovely Emma came round for a dinner party. We also had a special surprise visit from Madame Cholet and her pumpkoogy. The evening saw lots of gossip, a yummy dinner out on Beech Road and Gregory's Girl--failproof entertainment. You boys should all cover your nipples with your index fingers, it's top class! Next day, a quick breakfast at Cafe P!O!O! (cheese on toast, natch) before seeing them off on train to some small town I don't know. Christmas was fantastic. How enjoyable to eat nearly a whole box of Cadbury's Roses while watching the christmas Top of the Pops, admiring the antics of the Tamperer feat. Maya. Also the special xmas episode of that top quality soap, Emmerdale. I wonder if the poor shopkeeper survived. He seemed to have trouble reaching the last half-inch to press his security button, what a shame. If he dies, can I join his band with the Dingles? I play a mean jug. The antics of the New Year's party in Glasgow have already been covered extensively, but I'll add my 2 cents' worth. We sang for our supper at the Divine HQ folding tape sleeves. During the post-dinner EastEnders everyone looked at me in horror when I laughed at Tiff as Frank ran her over and finished her off. Chez Anne & Hush Puppy's we rang the new year in with assorted friends. Christophe seemed to have drank on behalf of me, and probably a few others. It made his funny David Bowie noises all the more hilarious. Keith called Honey to leave a message to say happy new year, and the phone was rude and called back! Strange Scottish telephones, I tell you. Though perhaps not as rude as I was some 4 hours later, when I told off a certain b&s member for wanting to collect her coat from the room we were (trying) to get some sleep in after being kept up all night by Scottish charades and a mysterious hand-clapping game. Lots of other nice things happened, but this is too long already. Oh, but one more thing: UK Latte Winner --------------- The search for places in the UK that make a decent coffee, or better yet, latte is an ongoing process. The winner hands-down this time is a cafe/restaurant in Manchester called Pimlico. It looks kind of trendy, but don't be put off. 1.30 (pounds) for a delicious latte in a charming glass. Best of all it's right next to Beatin' Rhythm (formerly known as Goldmine), so you can pop in for a drink after searching for your favourite girl group and northern soul records. (Tinderbox, a cafe on Byres Road just off of Great Western Road in Glasgow, comes in a close second. It also gets a special prize for being practically the only thing open in Glasgow on January 2nd. It appears that Scots take their new year's very seriously.) That is all for now. Back to writing a story for my community newspaper about the Ice-Clamations, East York's premier figure skating team. I'm not taking the piss, honest! To be honest, if any of you Sinisterines live in the East York region of Toronto and have any scoops on stories, let me know cos we're always looking for new stuff. love, elisabeth xx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Just a plain old message
by JOE DIEDRICH 13 Jan '99

13 Jan '99

Hello there my sinister friends, It was so funny to find out what a "bollock" is. So far I have gotten these responses: A testicle A rude word An animal that you shouldn't squish It is kindof confusing, therefore I will "never mind" the bollocks and go on to other business. He he!(That was a joke) Anyway, Ana wrote that B&S are no longer an "insider tip". I hate it when the world gives away my best kept secrets. Though here in the states B&S aren't as popular. Therefore, I am glad. But soon enough I am worried to hear then on my local radio station. Then all of America will know about B&S, and I will have lost something. David Moore wrote about a sample tape with the Pastels, Felt, Demin... I would also be interested in a tape like this. Hey, Ailisa. Here in Michigan we have about 2 feet of snow on the ground! I am thinking I should make a snowman. My underwear today is stripped with orange, pink, blue and green. I'm a little embarrassed. On the subject of books...I like the book Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte Hello to all new friends. I have only been here a short while myself, but I feel so welcome. It is a wonderful feeling! I have even stated using the word "poo" and I think it is adorable!

In a message dated 99-01-12 18:52:02 EST, you write: > > Mrs Murdoch: please keep us updated on wee Stuart's progress with his > attempts to curb his nasty bedtime habits. Any top household tips on how to > remove crispiness from sheets appreciated too. For those afflicted with this, ummm, laundry problem... I stumbled across this url in the February issue of Men's Journal today... I haven't visited the site but it sounded like it might be of some assistance. I share it with you as a public service: www.spankie.com I also think everyone should check in each day and post what color and type of underwear they have (or don't have) on. Boys and girls alike. And they might well be, one never knows. I am particularly curious about what Ryan had on over his Birthday suit today. I'd tell you mine, but my son gets the digest and he'd probably be embarrassed.
