Sinister: only slightly mental.....
by The Trainspotter 12 Nov '99

kids, dont believe a word this boy says.. he plays no bass, and spends his days ridiculing the boy scouts but secretly ogling their uniforms in the hopes that one day he can be head scout with the USO and dance with bob hope with Mary Tyler Moore looking on. Not only that but he tried to get me to send a pervy message to Isobel - all the while dancing around in kiddy zip up pjs he found in my laundry bin. in his spare time he tries setting me up with momus. alas, he is a nice ol boy and clues as to possible whereabouts of a study at stowe t-shirt for his coming up soon birthday should be told how to get one (kerry's birthdays is coming up too.... yay for the girl who is kidnapping her flatmates to some scarynamed place that sounds like dwarfplayland for this occasion). oh and to nick et al., jake was kidnapped by katrina! (yes that e-mail that i wrote was sent to her instead - with a note sent back saying he no longer handled the merchandise - as i could believe such a thing...) who was el boy con b/s in boston who babysat me when i was lost and kerry thought i'd run of with my ex-bf to molest him? and the reason you have problems with your computer is you've been making fun of my new ibook which hates me. and are there any sinister listee love stories like they're are on e-pop? ok, and then i'm going to bed - to roar tommorow when i go to get my car from the place where they take your car cause they feel like it, and go to school for the first time in over a week since they finally found my advisor/chair who had been MIA (yes, kerry can you believe it? joan finally turned up... they said be here by thursday or we cant pass you - and yes i still have an outstanding grr). can we have a boston listee tally? i guess you can e-mail me directly and i can post a final tally or something to see if its worth the while to have a wee tea gathering of sorts or an indoor picnic on my new ikea rug. or perhaps a meet up for whomever is going to see the mag fields next week... though perhaps if they pull another 3 1/2 hour show like last year - i might go barmy on sir meritt. -t.e.r.i. http://come.to/teri "she had the moves, she had the speed, it went to her head" > Hello list- > > My name is Nick and I'm new to the list (well, a nursery > hatchling).

Sinister: Bunches of arse
by Martin Robinson 01 Nov '99

01 Nov '99

Dear all, I have been recently browsing my local book store with a keen eye on new fiction. And I came across a book called "Primrose Hill" by H.L Falconer about a loss of innocence in a summer of smoking pot and drinking cheap cider on said hill. I reckon the author must have been spying on us. I don't know if it mentions inept football playing, Orange Chocolate Fingers or Marcus's Jasmine tea as I've yet to read it. But it seems our Sinister liasions have been documented. Talking of books, I just got the new Michael Hornburg book in the post all the way from the good old US of A. It smells lovely, I nearly went to sleep cuddling it, but I found I couldn't hold that and my Montreal Expos inflatable baseball bat. Oh dear too much information. I mean I loved his Bongwater and can't wait to get my teeth into his newy. That doesn't sound much better. Oh well... Is it just me or does part of the verse of Looper's Y2K sound like it's going to turn into the Whole of the Moon by the Waterboys? Not that this would be a terrible thing, I once went to see Mike Scott's gang in Oxford for some reason. I was a lot younger and innocent then though, I'd never even been to Primrose Hill for a start. And I do like Starry Sarah's new Sinister "guitar chord of the week" contribution. Keep them coming. Can I personally recommend Db Maj 7? Te ra, Martin ear confection recordings ... being updated v.soon (http://www.send.demon.co.uk) P.S If you are fortunate this may not reach you because of the current impasse here. Which is why I have made no effort to make it at all entertaining or interesting. I don't know what the excuse for all my other posts are. Ho hum. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: transatlantic moving...
by Schaffenberger, Kristen 31 Oct '99

31 Oct '99

Kitties, bunnies, and assorted sinisterines, Well, despite having been on this list for nearly two (count them, two!) years, my infrequent postings keep me at lurker status. In any case, knowing that a number of you live in the London area, I hope this post will work as an appeal for help. I've just been awarded a one-year graduate fellowship to London. (It is necessary to point out that I'm planning on doing the bulk of my post-grad work in the US, so I'll basically be taking classes on sort of a casual, noncommital level.) For reasons of even geographic distribution among fellowship recipients, my assigned school is Goldsmiths College in Southeast London. I move in late August. Not having visited the UK since I was about, erm, 15, I'm not sure where to start looking for a place to live, etc. My awarded funds will cover both my living and school expenses, so I don't mind moving away from the college area and making a short commute to school. Please email me privately with insight, advice, &c. Most looking forward to meeting all of you in a few months! XO, Kristen PS I might have to make a very, very short (vis 2-3 day) visit to the city for an interview at the college. Mark? Mark? +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: we'll be the softest lace on earth
by The Narrow Wizard 31 Oct '99

31 Oct '99

SMALL TOWN BEATINGS well I've been home for the past 4 days and in that time managed to not get beaten up which makes a change, in fact I only got threatened twice which has to be some sort of record. Once was for wearing a B&S T-shirt though ("thats a fuckin' puffs shirt that is") and the other was for being 'not from round here' (I was born there and it's been home for 22 years now...oh well). I have now decided that when I finnish uni I am never going back there and will live somewhere where having musical taste is not a crime and they dont beat you up just cos they dont recognize you. Ermm does any such place exist. 3TRACK/4TRACK SINGLES Jason asked about this but I thought I'd post to the list to hopefully end what seems to me to be a common misconception about the band. The band are not dedicated to value for money for us the fans, and are not in any way hostile to the idea of releasing 3 track singles. Stuart M told me that the band had actually planned to release a 3 track, however, they then decided that they wanted to make modern rock song available to us and so the release became a 4 track. Oh and while we were on the subject I asked him whether in the event of a 3 track being released and the band being asked would they do top of the pops. Stuart said that they most definately would and that they had talked about such things, I you see, had been sceptical due to Bel's stage fright. STIRLING MEETUP This plan has been shelved for now due to the staggering demand (I was staggered that nobody but sweetie was interested). Rest assured that the glasgow listees will be severely reprimanded when I next see them. thats all from me you can now go and read an interesting mail from someone else. owen With that the narrow wizard waggled his bushy eyebrows and disappeared in a flash of blue flame leaving behind only a faint smell of cinnamon +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: rhetoric and bonfires
by Archel1978＠aol.com 31 Oct '99

31 Oct '99

those of you who read the observer today will hopefully have noticed the article on bonfire celebrations in lewes. although officially 'outsiders' aren't meant to come, i think it would be nice to have a sinister meet-up for anyone who's near enough, or interested enough. it really is fantastic, and we can go drinking first in some the fine local taverns. mail me PRIVATELY!!!! i actually wrote something today (other than shopping lists and doodling messages to sinister, that is). for ages i was going to write a play with belle and sebastian content, but i don't think it would have been a good idea. i just don't think the general public are ready, you know? and i would certainly be breaching confidentiality if i brought sinister into it. shame though. anyway, no doubt what i *am* writing will turn out to be shit, composed as it in the less than objective aftermath of being dumped. not that it's anything to do with that, but how good can cathartic writing really be? it's my sister's 18th tomorrow, and with it comes the realisation that she has done more as a minor than i have so far as an adult, probably. what is the world coming to? perhaps i would have been more rebellious if i hadn't discovered b&s... well i think that's all i can muster up to excuse the parochialism of the first paragraph. do mail me if you want to come. even if you live in ohio. it's the thought that counts. luv archel xxx ******** Rachel Playforth archel(a)iname.com 0181 480 7367 +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: the whole of st brides high school has no taste
by JENOWL22＠aol.com 31 Oct '99

31 Oct '99

Hello sinister people! I've been busy. Actually, I went round the whole of third year with a tape of tigermilk and a cassette player, asking them what they thought. I surveyed 23 people, including myself, and this is what I found: liked: 1 disliked: 21 didn't get an accurate impression because the batteries were running down and had to get me to sing it to them: 1 Which was bad. Also, I was forced into doing a concert for old people at a home in glasgow. Which was a disaster. There were plays by little children, where they all forgot their lines, an irish dancer whose music tape broke down and she nearly fell over, me singing le pastie de la bourgousie and having my guitar strap break and fall to the floor, and more singing, where everyone was out of tune with each other, and fighting over the one mic. Not to mention the fact that the old people talked really really loudly over us all. Which was also bad. I'm going to a halloween party tonight. Oh yay. Did anyone see "Halloween 3" on channel 5 last night. It was really good. I'm also going round the doors tonight, to see how much monkey nuts I can get! Happy halloween everyone!

Sinister: t.o. meetup and Songs For Children
by deb s 30 Oct '99

30 Oct '99

Hi all, I mistakingly sent this post while the list was defunct, not realising it, so sorry for the delay. The first meet up will be on November 6th, around 7pm. Angel has been kind enough to let us use her apartment (around Queen & Jarvis) to have our official *screening* of all the B&S videos. she's attached a message to mine on the meetups board, so check that out. We'll go to hers, chat, eat, watch some videos and then head out to a pub to chat somemore. And possibly drink a bit ;) All this can be called a pre-meet, cause on NOVEMBER 18th, the lovely Laura has rescheduled the SONGS FOR CHILDREN night, which will now be held at the Rancho Relaxo on College. Ohhh, a night of B&S, quizzes and prizes (she's even making shirts for us!!), everyone should...MUST come. It'll be fun. Alright, check out the meetups page, or email me, or Angel for more details!! See you there!! luv always, deb xx ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: let me in, it's cold outside
by Archel1978＠aol.com 30 Oct '99

30 Oct '99

*************************** i originally sent this message yesterday, but i'm egotistical enough to think that it warranted retrieving from my sentmail to post again. things to add though: what a lovely thing by chris and struan! i'm so looking forward to hearing more about richard's 'celebrity lifestyle' - what next, exclusive pictures of him on the arm of anna friel? (who, by the way, was asked out by one of my best friends while they were growing up together in oldham. she said no.) and as for struan offering advice on how to be a student, i just wish he'd been a year earlier... *************************** oh, the irony. i return, and the list is silenced. so who knows if anyone will read this. but hey, recently i've got unpleasantly used to walking in in the middle of tense situations, mostly caused by me. it would be nice if i could just breeze back into sinisterworld and instantly lift everyone's spirits with wit and sweetness. (i wasn't joking about being egotistical.) but any attempt at those things is rather hindered by a) becoming newly single (last week) and b) returning to the ranks of the unemployed (next week). q. why do writers never look out the window in the morning? a. because then they'd have nothing to do in the afternoon. i have decided to restyle myself from being just a lazy graduate to being a lazy writer. you still do nothing, but it's a higher class of nothing. there's a poem by miroslav holub about being a poet, it's a kind of socratic dialogue in fact, which comes to the rather harsh conclusion that you're only a poet when you're actually physically writing a poem. at least, if i understood it right. god knows what you are the rest of the time then, a literal non-entity i suppose. still, i'd rather be that than a management consultant. adverts keep extorting me to enter the 'dynamic world of media sales'. i used to think this meant doing a paper round, but now i suspect it's something even less fulfilling. b&s content: i was listening to TBWTAS on my walkman the other day when the batteries started to run down in the middle of 'is it wicked'. instant improvement! it was sombre and moving, and isobel sounded like helen shapiro instead of an asthmatic on helium. i finally bought 'breaking god's heart' yesterday - retail therapy has never been so productive. so i have *something* to thank my ex for, i suppose. next week is my last in london, for the moment at least, so if anyone wants to meet up please get in touch. all my love (no longer any left for a certain boy living in the north of england, where i hope he perishes at the beaks of the york university geese (who are on my side since i promised to bring them south before the summer cull begins). did i say that? i meant 'let's still be friends', obviously...) archel xxx ********* Rachel Playforth archel(a)iname.com 0181 480 7367 / 01323 893 624 +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
