Sinister: Dance your cares away, down at fraggle rock, doo, doo
by ar981611＠student.paisley.ac.uk 29 Jan '99

29 Jan '99

If anyone else has answered this I apologise for the repetition. The dog was called Sprocket. And I have just had my horrific last exam. Four questions in two hours - not humanly possible as far as I know!!! 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? Well that happened to me. And yesterday he dumped me because he didn't think I really loved him, because I said I didn't before, and now that I do (I think) he doesn't believe me. And I know he's not "the one" but it still hurts? Well I feel horrid now and I don't know if it's because he doesn't love me any more or because I fell in love with the wrong guy, or whether it's always like this when you get dumped because I've only ever been hurt once and that was by the guy I REALLY thought was "the one". Does anyone have any insights? Because I don't and all my friend are (to quote a Bridget Jones-ism) smug marrieds, and think it's my fault for being too picky or too honest or whatever. And you lot are all sensitive sorts and I would value your opinion. Sorry, is this a little too Ricki Lake for you all? I am sorry, I'm off now. Ailsa xx In my head...

Sinister: Friday Poem
by Linda Kerr 29 Jan '99

29 Jan '99

Dear All, Oh Lord, the poetry parrot landed on my shoulder and has been pecking away at my ear for days now: "Get on with it, you slacker." it rasped in a parrotty way "Don't you care about the list? That Trouser snake bloke told you to post a poem, so SHIFT your ARSE." "No, I can't" I moaned "Every one is JUDGING me....they might think I am shallow or crass or something." "Just bung down any old fucking poem, you slag" it squawked "Or do a parody of all the poems so far - that's the ticket, gobshite!." "Noooo, couldn't do that! I am too sensitive to what other people might think, if it wasn't quite good enough. Or some people might not NOTICE it was a parody. Even worse! " "Life's a parody, you WANKER. Just get on with it! You urine-flavoured POPSICLE." The parrot deposited a moist globule on my shoulder and shook its arse briskly. "Just put down something you learned at school. I am off to see that Anne Ward now. She is a proper librarian, and may be a little more thoughtful than you, you dozy tart." So, here for you all, one of the most beautiful, sad but true poems of all time that I learned at school, and is very very topical, give or take a few decades. (From the film "Shakespeare in Love") The Relic When my grave is broke up again Some second guest to entertain, (For graves have learn'd that woman head, To be to more than one a bed) And he that digs it, spies A bracelet of bright hair about the bone, Will he not let'us alone, And think that there a loving couple lies, Who thought that this device might be some way To make their souls, at the last busy day, Meet at this grave, and make a little stay? If this fall in a time, or land, Where mis-devotion doth command, Then he, that digs us up, will bring Us to the bishop, and the king, To make us relics; then Thou shalt be a Mary Magdalen, and I A something else thereby; All women shall adore us, and some men; And since at such time miracles are sought, I would have that age by this paper taught What miracles we harmless lovers wrought. First, we lov'd well and faithfully, Yet knew not what we lov'd, nor why; Difference of sex no more we knew Than our guardian angels do; Coming and going, we Perchance might kiss, but not between those meals; Our hands ne'er touch'd the seals Which nature, injur'd by late law, sets free; These miracles we did, but now alas, All measure, and all language, I should pass, Should I tell what a miracle she was. John Donne (1572 - 1631) There is also the poem about the camel and the sphinx from Bannerman's toilet wall, but I'll save that for Valentine's Day. Linda btw lesley jo - what do you reckon to Gwyneth Paltrow? btw Anne, it does mean you. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: An open letter to Sensitive Stan
by Brier Random 29 Jan '99

29 Jan '99

Or, more particularly, to those who would respond to him. Don't embarrass yourselves by responding. He's an obvious (century of) faker. I hope he was making it up when he mentioned all those who had responded favorably to his initial post. And on the off chance that I'm wrong, gawd Stan, feel my sorry apologies! I couldn't have dreamed that you were a real person with real things to say such as that. P.S. My band (Buckley V. Valeo) has our first CD coming out in about a month, which doesn't have much to do with B&S except that I think my drumming was influenced by them. And we have a song called "Up A Tree" which we wrote long before Looper decided to call their album that too. I guess geniuses think in similar fashion.

Sinister: Tami and Stan rule
by petula 29 Jan '99

29 Jan '99

Dear List, I'm all for Tami and Stan. Perhaps some people are offended by them because they hit a little too close to home? Goodness knows I used to be a bit like our Tami, thinking a boy in an Another Sunny Day shirt would be the ultimate boyfriend. But "popboys" are usually not what they seem...they're either (from my experience): a) selfish mama's boys whose idea of a date is record shopping b) so into the "scene" that they ignore you at shows to talk to so-and-so from some fanzine or band, leaving you to sell their crappy fanzine at your table while you mind the coats and rucksacks or c) they can only kiss with the lights out and "mood" music, i.e. Field Mice Mind you, I'm with Pumpkinny now, and he rules. (Mick said:) >Anyway, this is proof that >if you're going to make up an imaginary listee, it doesn't make up for >not being funny. Let this be a lesson to you all. Thank you, and good >night. No way, whoever was pretending to be Evan Dando was far worse. At least T & S are obviously taking the piss. love and lemonade, elisabeth +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

People who *used* to live here are on this list, but Athens, Ohio is not a hotbed of Belle & Sebastian-ism, at least not that I'm aware of. Anyway, I believe what you're thinking of here is Nike, Tommy Hilfiger, etc. shirts, which are essentially advertisements. Mick-- I buy shirts to wear them.

I'm trying to make a real comic book, but that is because I am a NERD. Also, can anyone think of a good way for me to reply to the digest? This is what I have come up with so far. It seems like it will annoy some people. and there was a cute boy working in wendy's when i went to get a monterey ranch chicken sandwich today, he was very nice and held the door for me and gave me a big smile, and could perhaps have been sensitive stan except i know he wasn't because sensitive stan would have run off and hid inside one of the trash bins when i smiled back. If Stan works at Wendy's then he is probably the dickhead who tried to get my friends arrested in Sheffield Lake, OH after a showing of Dutch Harbor with the Boxhead Ensemble. Supposedly this "junior dick" had seen my friends steal a 40 of some cheap malt liquor called double deuce, even though as my friends claimed, "wouldn't it be stupid to steal it if the guy driving the getaway car is paying for gas?" Anyway, he was a fuck, my friends had their rights violated by a dickhead cop and a good time was had by all.

Date: Fri, 29 Jan 1999 03:17:15 +0000 From: Pamela Hutchinson <pamela.hutchinson(a)st-annes.oxford.ac.uk> Subject: Sinister: Danger everywhere A listee wrote of the apathy caused by his B+S tee. He was going to experiment with badges. be careful, darling. I wore a Bis badge when I started university and people thought it was in reference to some Latin verb!!?!! As a friend of mine is sitting opposite me at this late hour writing an overdue Classics essay I can't be TOO disparaging but really, how are we meant to put up with ignorance of this kind? I think that this message shows the difference between English Universities and American Universities. If I wore a Bis badge, people would stare at me funny and say "what does that mean?" because right now they can't even figure out the 764-HERO badge on my coat. I would be thrilled if someone was intelligent enough to ask me if it were in reference to a Latin verb. Instead, I get blank loks and vomit in the streets from drunken boys who are trying to get laid and drunken girls who don't know how to button anymore than the top two buttons on their shirts.
