Sinister: pardon.
by Erica MacArthur 17 Oct '99

17 Oct '99

I think my mail went on a bit of a bender last night. I sent it out at 7.30 pm and it didn't come back until 01.08, which is tres bizzare. Anyway, by this hour I'd spoken to the wee H herself and found out we're not attending Hefner because of CHER. as she's said. Porn is woman hatred, you know...

Sinister: Looper at Virgin
by Jason Andreas 17 Oct '99

17 Oct '99

This was really good fun, and a great set too. I love Y2K, I wish I had taken a tape recorder (or even had one to take <grin>) On the way to the gig, I was walking along with Heather McDonald and I was singing TIJAMRS, I got to the line 'Stuart's staying in...' and Stuart Murdoch nearly ran into me. Heather spent the next five mins saying 'Oh my GOD!' very loudly and shockedly :) Chris Geddes was apparently floating around too, I think I spotted him and Isobel talking outside the gig, but I'm not positive. Stuart David was really cool, and told me not to go to Cash Converters as they'll rip me off. I really wish I could afford not to, but half my CD collection is now being sold to finance my life until my next student loan installment (or until I find a job).

Sinister: Harry Potter is the antichrist
by James Gilmer 17 Oct '99

17 Oct '99

Okay, I really do have some B&S content, but first: People want to ban Harry Potter I caught the NBC national news yesterday and it seems there is a movement (small, but still...) to ban Harry Potter books in schools and such. For those not already members of the Dark Brotherhood of Lucifer (joke kittlings) allow me to explain. Harry Potter books are novels written by a rather charming seeming scottish women by the name of JK Rowling. Anywho, Harry is a young boy going to a school of wizards and goes on many fanciful adventures and so on. The reason for this is...are you ready for it?...these people say Harry promotes witchcraft, drug use, satanism, and so on. All three Harry Potter books are on the bestseller list in top spots. Teachers say kids who have never shown an intrest in reading are picking up Harry Potter books and loving them. Which reminds me that as late as the 1980's the banned-books list still existed in the US, this was a list of books that served as a guide for what was appropriate reading material and including such things as Wizard of OZ, NArnia, Lord of the Rings, Tom Sawyer, Catcher in the Rye (which me Dad proudly proclaims got him in trouble and almost caused him to be expelled for reading it in his sixth grade class), James and the Giant Peach, etc. Sorry, just had to share that, just had to vent a little at the stupidity and small mindedness of people. Let's move on... Belle & Sebastian I have already sung the praise of my college radio station and now I must again. While driving yesterday I was joyed to hear TBWTAS start playing only to become dismayed when it faded out to be replaced by a news program. Then I realized the radio station was using TBWTAS as intro and background music for their news program. Which seems an odd choice for the news and opinion segment but I'm not complaining... Someone at that school must really like B&S, which is fine by me. Jason Andreas wrote: >It might not mean riches >and fame, but at least, for the first time in my life, it's made me feel >that maybe I *can* be a writer after all! Christ man!! Congrats are in order!!! I've just started sending stuff off and am awaiting my rejection letters with glee...but to get published at all? Damn fine job sir! It must be a brilliant feeling. Cher must die The funniest thing about Cher...I'm in the mall last week in Sam Gooody looking around when I overhear a trio of A&F girls of about fourteen talking; "You know, Cher's cool and all...but she's like fourty! Isn't that a little old to be starting your musical career?" I about hit the floor laughing as a clerk who had heard what was said tried explaining that she'd been in music for about three or four decades. Poor Hannah, don't worry, I'm sure Cher has been the bane of many a good spirit. I always feel as I've written too much, never sure how much to impart in these non-sensical little ramblings to my sinister brothers and sisters, always feeling my I've rambled on too much. So I'll bid your leave now. Have a sinister night- Jim "And I'm up when the dawn is breaking , even though my heart is aching.

Sinister: A Kinder World
by Brandt Fundak 17 Oct '99

17 Oct '99

I would like to express my appreciation for the many sinister members who took time to e-mail me about my mom's illness. She had the surgery today and she will hopefully be much better soon. Unfortunately, she has to have an even more unpleasant surgery later this week. Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks to all of you for your kindness. This really is the greatest list in the world.

Sinister: ban hate and violence for our convenience
by Johan Nilsson 17 Oct '99

17 Oct '99

four musical acts in my head: STEREOLAB (them savages should be banned!) I am really disapointed that Stereolab's tour doesn't reach us kids up in Scandinavia! Oh it happens all the time though. We just learn to cope with it. Is there anyone out there that could help me get an ex of the seven inch "Fried Monkey Eggs" that they are selling on the tour? Oh oh, in case you don't know, Cobra and Phases Japanese version comes with a super cute extra Cd single! Love it, it is the cutest thing since, well I don't know what. DOT ALLISON (i want to feel the chill?) I bought 'Afterglow' the other day. I don't know how it came. I guess I just had to. No actually, I was in a record store in Stockholm (Pet Sounds) and they were playing it and I recalled all the good melodies from the gig she did with the Strap in London. It is quite, 'listener friendly' if that is a phrase worth using, and I like it a lot, at least right now. BELLE & SEBASTIAN (music for children) Why is the new album taking so long?!?! Ahem, yes that was my message. No, wait. Someone wished they'd re-record 'Rhoda' because it is such a lovely song. I totally agree! Please re-record it Stuart! We should start a foundation and with it our goal would be to get it released... HEFNER (summertime, summertime, summertime) What did the girl write on Darrens coat? Summertime by the way was a Fresh Prince song, not a Hefner one... But Darren seemingly like to sing the word summertime a lot, even though when i would say it doesn't fit with the lyrics. bit of you foot now, chump! Johan.

Sinister: and the lights went out...
by sweetie 16 Oct '99

hello my friends and how r we all?? good i hope i am simply super. :) well yesterday i was away to alton towers with my school. it was great, oblivian is really kule. :) the 8hr drive could have been worse, at leat i had my music. :) but after the first stop something happened. we all got back on the bus and the inital high had gone and everyone was in need of some sleep. (bar me i was awake for a full 37.5hrs). heres what happened i got back to my seat and switched on my sisters personal cd player. and immediatly my ears r in heaven with 'get me away from here im dying' and almost symbolically at the end of the song, everyone turned out their lights. then earlier on tonite, i was sitting eating some bacon on toast. and once i had finished i looked down at my plate and there was a little drip of grease in the centre of my plate and some toast crumbs had fallen in it, and they shape they formed was a perfect ' :) ' that made me smile. but not as much as this after being awake for over 37hrs i slept for only 13, not very long considering. anyway when i finally got out of bed at 2pm i came downstairs to some post, an a4 sized jiffy bag. and in it was the ltd divine comedy secret history i had ordered, but as the second cd wasnt ready to send, as an apology, the book was signed by neil hannon. that made me smile alot. :) your friend always me, myself and everybody else x icq# 42242252 ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Life isn't a rehearsal, it's for real. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Cher stole my fun
by Mark Salt 16 Oct '99

16 Oct '99

Dear List, This is my very first post, please be gentle with me. FIRST and foremost my name is not Mark Salt, as the address would suggest, it's Hannah. I was watching your games from a safe distance and wanting to join in but not feeling brave enough. Then Erica put my picture up and I feel i really should emerge from the undergrowth and bore you all to death with a post. I've been skulking and lurking for far too long and it seems a little rude not to introduce myself. FOR the obligatory "when i discovered belle and sebastian" story, mine doesn't quite match up to the excitement of other people's. It was all down to wonderful Erica's devoted tape making and covers which just made me listen to them. I wanted to rhapsodise brilliantly over the beauty of b&s, but I'm really not very good at that sort of thing. The best i can manage is a mutter of "umm.... i just think they're really good". But the brilliance crept up on me until i was listening to the tapes every day and i had to buy CDs to replace them. THIS IS TERRIBLE ON a completely unrelated and quite sad subject..........Cher really did steal my fun you know. I was going to go to Hefner on Monday, and all i had to do was swap my babysitting times with the girl who does Tuesdays, simple you may think. And i got my hopes up, and phoned Erica up and got her hopes up as well. Then i phoned the girl. She said "oh I'm really sorry but i can't, you see I'm going to see CHER in concert on Monday". Its not fair. This kind of thing shouldn't be allowed, so I'm offering a reward to anyone who can stop Cher "performing" on Monday. I don't mind how you achieve this, steal her crushed leather shell suit perhaps, although obviously the more creative the better. As for the reward........ it is yet to be decided although a kiss from Erica is in the running, so get plotting. love Hannah xx pS. the only doll i ever resemble is a cabbage patch doll, don't be fooled. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
