Sinister: Tape tree type thing
by Holgate, Michael T. 29 Jan '99

29 Jan '99

I'd be able to copy CD's for the tape tree. I don't own the black sessions or any other unofficial B&S stuff, but if anyone wants to send them to me I will happily copy them. My postal address is 155 Gairn Terrace Aberdeen Scotland AB10 6AX. Cheers, Michael. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: There is no alternative

Stuart, were these the same "people who buy decent music" who voted Robbie Williams as Best Solo Artist? And had the imagination to vote for the Fatboy Slim as best dance act? And the intelligence to vote that Billie, a 16 year old girl who to the best of my knowledge has never done any of them any personal harm, be subjected to a boxing match with Mike Tyson. How brave and clever of them, I wonder how many of them were male. Personally, I'd rather hear Billie singing about playing songs so loud because she wants to, than read about a bunch of self-congratulatingly "alternative" misogynist sheep voting "because they're told to". Mick, I found Sensitive Stan very funny indeed, it may not have been the most subtle of parodies, but sometimes you need to be a bit obvious to make a point. And it wasn't me.

Sinister: black on color tv
by danakil 29 Jan '99

29 Jan '99

i'm shaking, it was so cold outside, i ran to come back here and i'm breathless. i spent most of this night on the roof of a building, watching the small lights of the city, eating some bananas, trying to find the window of the room where i grew up, everything was quiet in the dark. so now it's 9 in the morning and i'm tired, well anyway, i only want to tell you that the video version of the black sessions with b and s 'll be on Paris Premiere (french cable tv) next wenesday at 22 h 50 or something like that, but maybe somebody said it before, i don't know, i just want to sleep.

Sinister: the space looks down at us
by Michelle Audet 29 Jan '99

29 Jan '99

Bonjour everyone ! I am a newbie on this list and I thought it would be a good thing to introduce myself to you...so that you guys can have a bit of an idea on who I am and why I subscribed. Don't worry I'm not going to tell you the story of my life, it'll be short. Okay so here it goes ! I'm Michelle from Quebec City, Canada. I'm 18 years old and I go to college. I recently discovered B&S. I'm not going to bother all of you with a list of my favorite bands but let's just say that I like many indie bands...and particulary pop from the UK. I play guitar and well...almost everything in my life has a connection with music. I got The Boy With The Arab Strap about a month ago and was absolutely amazed by it, it is : sweet,fresh,honest,brilliant ! Last week, a friend of mine sent me a tape of If You're Feeling Sinister (I couldn't find it anywhere and I had to hear it...and it always takes a lot of time when I order stuff). It is great,it makes me smile and cry. I'm gonna end this here and just stay in the shadows for a while and read what you write. I'll see whether I'll join for good or not. Take care. Mi :) *Once the music leaves your head it's already compromised* Jack Brewer +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: will i be the stranger in your movie?
by jessica 29 Jan '99

29 Jan '99

chiquitas, i am trying to make a photo comic book, which will perhaps turn out to be strange because i'm not going to put faces in it, just bodies and objects. my first story will be a love story. don't we all adore love stories, kids? and if stuart murdoch's agent would like to contact me, i would like to be able to use shots of his bum in those silver pants. yum. lust from afar. ohohoh, and if anyone knows where i can find one of those cameras that i think was made by tyco that records black and white pictures on a cassette tape, email me please. 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. fluffy sarah wrote: >>NOT ME!!! Its not me! That Sarah is actually Sarah Martin de B&S :) I feel somewhat complimented by that! But alack and alas that Sarah is not me and as such I am still a mystery. I've never met lesely jo EVER. But! There may be pictures of me soon....or may not. Depending if I like them or not.<< so, that would explain why you look so much like sarah martin of b+s, then. i was wondering...i think i can speak for the list when i say we'd love to see you in all your fluffy glory. erm, not that way. honest. stinky sleazy stan yelled: >>HEY JESSICA!!!! You want to send people pictures of YOU in YOUR KNICKERS???? What kind of WEIRD SHIT is THAT??? Just send me your KNICKERS AFTER you've worn them and I'll be a HAPPY MAN!!! << poo to you, stan, someone already beat you to it and has dibs on my knickers. and they are very smart and industrious, suggesting that i shrink-wrap them for maximum preservative effect. i was going to have them bronzed, but then how could they tell if they've been worn? sucks to be you, stan. now go eat some balloons. race me through this heart-broken town, 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: Danger everywhere
by Pamela Hutchinson 29 Jan '99

29 Jan '99

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?

Sinister: did i mention that i cried?
by rebelstrange＠ldd.net 29 Jan '99

29 Jan '99

HOLA TODOS eek!! fluffysarah, how come it that you were confused with the adorable doll-like personage of one sarah martin?? oops. now where did that idea come into your head jessica?? teehee. I for one, though, can't wait for hte day i can match fluffysarah with her image. i would say how i imagine her but that might be bizarre and is probably totally off base. oh and hello kitty doesn't suppress women, that was just a stupid thing that some girl ran up and shouted to Jess one day, as she told, and i just think it's funny to randomly shout at people. i actually like hello kitty, i have a hello kitty angels note pad, and i like badtz-maru. but i hate the dog, and the spotty-dotty ones. badtz-maru has pretty colors on his merchandise, silver/black/purple and what not!! yay. has anyone read stuart david's story on the treehouse? i did the other night, and i thought it was neat-o, i want to read the rest of it. no one ever looks at my Stow shirt either, people do stare at my badges, but they never say anything, i think they just want to know what the hell belle and sebastian is anyway. one girl at the copy shop said soemthign about the little boy one, but then she stopped cos she thought he was giving "the finger" and then realized it was two fingers. lucky she didn't know about the british custom i spose. Xtra cheers for xavier for quoting one of my most favorite MST3K moments. "I wrote this at a time in my life when i was very, very very sad.....breakfast, actually. it's calle 'hairdresser in a coma'." "I DREAMT LAST NIGHT/i DIED IN SIDE/I DIED A MILLION DEATHS/ THINKING OF YOUR SWEET FACE/I CRIED INSIDE/WE LIED AND DIED/AND THEN I CRIED AGAIN" .....did i mention that i cried??" sensitive stan should definitely check it out. aww i can't believe you are too shy to talk to me, stan. i'm the most shyest little mouse there is. i almost cried because i was too scared to talk to isobel, she was just soooo pretty and i felt so sensitive. i thought she would probably like a sensitive boy like stuart, and not a girl like me, so i cried and when i got home i cried some more, and i think i'm going to mail her my ear tomorrow. stuart is very sensitive too, his eyes are all soft and fluffy and his hair is messed up like mine is when i get up in the morning from dreaming about sensitve girls. i know stuart would NEVER call me a pussy, or yell at me like sleazy stan, he would just hold my hand and sing to me in the rain,a nd i would feel fuzzy and sensitive. i feel your pain, twee tami popsicle, sometimes i get that tickly feeling down there too, it mostly happens when stuart sings really girly and high, or when i see isobel's curvy biceps. i wonder what that feeling is, do you know? i'm afraid to ask anyone cos i know they'll make fun of me. Do you like to make sand castles, and listen to the birds singing and take off your shoes in the water?? tee-hee. me too!! Can we all be friends now?? Actually, a few days ago, i dreamed that i had cut off my ears because i wanted to make earrings out of them. i put them on wires. then realized that i would probably look silly to peopel who saw me,and i realized that i didn't actually want to wear my ears as earrings, and no one else would probably buy them from me, so i frantically took a knife and rawed the edges trying to graft them back onto my head. Will Oldham is grrreat. i have days in the wake i wish i had the first one. and schtop this business about the category of "female artists" it's so very exclusionary. there are tons of wonderful women making music. now and past. Kate bush. Polly Harvey. Tori. K. Hersh. Lida Husik. Cat power. Mary Timony. Carla Bozulich. the raincoats. Edith Frost. isobel campbell. (HAHA) if you think there are no decent women artists out there, you have earplugs on. i could mention like a million more but that would be horribly boring. chicks rule, jerks drool. luv y'all sensitively yours. lesleyjo http://www.members.tripod.com/rebelstrange "I'm a piece of crap that the world revolves around." +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Hi Pop-pickers, Isn't this from "Let's Dance", by (I can't remember the artist), covered on the Ramones first album & credited by them to someone called Jim Lee. Half a prize, Big Stu?

Sinister: isobel and mokey?
by Bellequasi＠aol.com 28 Jan '99

28 Jan '99

ok everyone, is it just me or does isobel sound almost identical to mokey from fraggle rock. for those of you who don't know what the hell i'm talking about fraggle rock was a kids show by jim henson that i, i don't know about the rest of you, watched when i was tiny. it was probably on in the early 80's and mokey was one of the girl creatures who lived in the ground in fraggle rock. the creatures were fraggles and mokey was the shy intellegnt one who knitted. there was also red, gobo,wimbly and others but i don' remember their names. i'm not the only person that thinks so, my mom does too! so i know i'm not crazy. kristie-oh the other one was boober or something like that. he always did laundry. please respond last time no one paid to much attention to my post ): +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
