Sinister: Gay Jeremy from Airport is standing by...
by Robert Foster 04 Oct '99

04 Oct '99

I tried putting Jelly Babies and rum out on the bird table every night - nothing. I tried blasting the talking book version of Oh What A Lovely War & Browning's' Porphiyrias' Lover out of my dad's car radio - nothing. I even tried a six foot phallus scented with mixed fruit and Channel No 5, but, alas not a sausage. This time I am determined to catch him. I have set up a sophisticated surveillance system at vast personal expense. Well, I saved up with my pocket money and I've been washing a few cars and mowing a couple of lawns (including the lawn of the old man at the end of the road, apparently he used to be in charge of a children's home in Birmingham in the 70's, nice. He invited me in for a 'drink or whatever', but I had to go, my tea was ready, and I needed to shower) to subsidise my meagre allowance but I have installed it none the less. Honest John the Bastard, or shitty to his friends has sold it to me. It consists of five and a half miles of tensioned string, eight hundred noise boxes, which to me look like old tin cans with marbles in 'em, but Honest John the Bastard assures me there not, a penny farthing and a large net. The string is to be placed in a clockwise direction around my village from the Spar shop owners' wing mirror on him Fiat van, the vicar's cock on top of the spire and from there it is attached to the handle to the door of the girls loos at the local school (that third one will be tricky). The noise boxes are to be set 2 metres apart and must have at least 3 marbles in each. I have arranged for Gay Jeremy from BBC 1's popular Airport to stand on 24 hour guard, hang on - You alright J - ooo, I sat on me walkie talkie, roger, roger, ooo how queer, - Who's Roger, oh I see, sorry Ahh, bless, he's a trooper. A-hem. Yeah, he's fine. His pin prick (I said pin prick) eyes will search the vast blue above our heads and give me early warning. We have arranged that when something fly's into view he is to clap his hands to give me early warning. So the idea being that I'll jump into action when he gives me the clap (I said clap.) I'll come tearing out of the camouflaged HQ on my penny f waving my net, and if all goes to plan I could have me a poetry parrot, or that retched dinosaur arse hole. I heard that he's trying to snuff the parrot out so that he can be the new poetry hard man, a sort of gay Dirty Den. I know that the parrot often takes short cuts round my way, I think he stops off at the Spar, once I saw him buying 20 B&H and some lighter fluid and quoting Whitnail & I, "I demand fine wine and cake". God, I would love it if the poetry parrot came round here. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: I Smell A Hippy
by William Messent 04 Oct '99

04 Oct '99

Yo. TIME-MANAGEMENT SKILLZ I was 5 and a half hours late for work today; I shit you not. I work just outside London, and I awoke in Haslingden, Lancashire at 8 o clock. The reason for my predicament is twofold, dear readers. I can put it down to clumsiness and drink. I drove up on Saturday to see my friends, parked up about half-five and went for a pint. When I went to get the car and drive us all home at 6:20, the buggers had locked the car park. I made a few frantic calls next day, only to be told the car park would not be opened until Monday morning; the geezer with the keys was, and I quote, "In Morecombe". Try telling your boss that you're nearly a day late for work because some bloke is in Morecombe. It doesn't go down too well. B&S CONTENT My mate Nicola plays in a band called Empress, and they played up in Glasgow the other day, and apparantly our Stuart went to see them! But only stayed for about 3 minutes. According to Nicola, "I think he turned up at the wrong club." I thought he was meant to stay in his bedroom all the time anyway. I feel cheated. As should he, he missed a treat by leaving. BRITISH TELLY I love telly. I especially love The Royle Family and identify very strongly with Anthony. I also like Hollyoaks and that Hip-Hop programme. Doesn't Vanilla Ice look funny these days? One time. That new show with Denise Van Outen is the biggest shower of shite I have ever seen on telly. POP MUSIC The band that I play in are supporting Mogwai in Manchester on 19 October, so a big shout out to any Manc Listees in the area, hope to see youse there. You'll love it.

Sinister: sinister:girlfriend in a foreign land
by Paul Arathoon 04 Oct '99

04 Oct '99

Well, this is my first post after a longish time hanging around and observing the major players on this list. Belle and Sebastian seem to be playing a major role in my life at the moment for not only do my housemates and I here in sunny Manchester have all the E.P.s and albums (having 4 stereos playing TBWTAS simultaneously is a truly magical experience, especially at 3am armed with Vodka) but also because B+S make a near perfect girlfriend substitute. You see, my girlfriend has gone off to Paris for 10 months so I need something to help me through the lonely nights. I am actually thinking of dumping my girlfriend becuase LLPJ seems to be much more my type... p.s. Apparantly one B+S (possibly the boy Geddes) will be D.Jing at the Star And Garter pub in Manchester sometime this month. This is not an unsubstantiated rumour. I spoke to one of the other D>J's who plays there who knows whats going on. I hope anyway or have just made a twat out of myself. ______________________________________________________ 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: people aren't fine
by BabyChris Crystalballs 04 Oct '99

04 Oct '99

I thought that it would be safer to stay at home instead of going to the glasgow meet up. I don't like town much. If I go there, I end up walking around the streets for hours on end, buying a donut, and then popping into record shops to look at cds. It's different if you have a purpose . I don't. I walk round blocks repeatedly, then maybe walk for a mile in one direction, decide to pop up to the west end, then when I'm half way there, decide that I can't be bothered. Then I'll try to go home, only to discover that I don't have enough for the bus/ train fare, so I'll walk for a while then get the bus as near to home as I can... and occasionally getting the wrong bus and ending up in pollok or govan because they have changed the bus numbers. Or maybe asking shop owners if they'll give me a job. Plus, I'm too young to get into pubs, and I am quite scared of meeting sinister people. Can anyone give me a job? Someone asked if lauren was okay. I think she is... I mean I have mailed her a couple of times and she sounds fine. Is it wrong to have an overpowering desire to hug your hi-fi when mary-jo is playing? I hate it when people listen to your feelings, but don't actually care about you - I't's a trick. If they do care, then they'll tell you how they feel. If they don't, then they've got you again. I could ramble for a living. Am I not allowed to climb anymore? babychris CRYSTALBALLS Ps. - I wish I could mail my mind, but I can't , plus someone would probably use it against me. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: sinister manifesto
by **Megan Lehar** 04 Oct '99

04 Oct '99

we have reached a time in our collective history wherein the balance is shifting. what once had an order is being swept away into disorder and decay. the new order lacks consistency and coherency, the old order is faded and morose. this, brothers and sisters, is the time to strike. we are the sebastianites, the pure and true followers of belle and sebastian, come to lay claim to this barren wasteland. we bring an aged youthfulness and cynical optimism that will lead us into battle and through it feeling battered when we truly were not. we will hold our calves like flayed sausages and sing about intelligent machines with arms of sex. we are the nouveau and nouvelle and nouveaux. we will personify the living and raise them from the dead. we will dance to roolz and droolz and mayhap toolz long into the night, proclaiming joss as the mighty king of the party to which there is no end. we will lose ourselves and ourself in a myriad of lost weekends and find ourselves in flower beds watching the dew fall upon the wreckage of western society as it continues it's futile struggle against the impending apocalypse. the wreck of the zephyr and the rebirth of the phoenix, rewound and played by sisyphus on the celestial steenbeck of modern society. repetition becomes synonomous with poison, absinthe instead of currare. but enough emotion, let us not waste the day. our reminscences can only deter us for so long, we are intent upon the final strike. with that, i you, the people of sinister, the six theses. 1. society is a curse, nationality is a bind. we agree to free ourselves and stand in direct opposition to any who attempt to segregate themselves or others in terms of location, mental, physical, or metaphysical. 2. we frown upon physical exertion, both our own and that of others. we despise football, in all lands, and listen to music while lying on our backs with limpid musculature. 3. if one is tempted to ask why said list does not discover ___ band of moment, said person should think first, then cut their ear off. if said person still wishes to ask said question, said fate will meet him, her, it or them. 4. we worship a god of nectar and abhor a phallic place. 5. though we long for a society without boarder of gender and sex, we seek the ultimate vulgar experience of sexuality, as relayed third person with a number of important details replaced by nonsense words. 6. order is the bain of all socities. opposition will be listened to, but surely overcome, as the new order of sebastianites leads the procession into the next battlefield. join to us, we like thai elephants! love and rockets, magnetic megan mkl206(a)is8.nyu.edu are we not men? we are magnetic fields. http://www.dissemination.com/megan/magneticfields/ updated 8/5/99 +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: geneva MP3s
by LAWRENCE CHARLES MIKKELSEN 04 Oct '99

04 Oct '99

hey kids. I was wondering if there were any Geneva fans out there? I've been unsuccessfully attempting to download the new MP3s from their site (www.geneva-music.com) The internet bandwidth here is aweful, and the last time I tried it said it would take 15 hours to download! Ummm - except that my ISP throws me off after two, Anyway, if anyone out there is a fan, and would like to e-mail the files to me (there is one up there now, and one which was taken down a week or so ago) I would be filled with joy. I don't know if I have anything that you would want in return, but I have loads of 'good stuff'. Anyway, if anyone can help me (oh please God) please mail the MP3s to the following address (not this one ..) mikelsen(a)akn.quik.co.nz thanks for taking the time to read this totally non-B&S related post. Lawrence. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
