Sinister:"Dreamt I was a fireman, I just smoked and watched you burn..."
by Robyn Fadden 26 Oct '99

26 Oct '99

what we talk about when we talk about belle and sebastian Lists and list traffic Sometimes it's bumper-to-bumper and sometimes it's open highway. But if you ride your bike, there's always wind in your hair and you can coast on by and occasionally stop to look at the view. This isn't necessarily an analogy, I was just thinking about cars. That is an analogy... A list is quite the strange organic thing. where have all the jygsawdaves gone? Dr. Who when I was in a photojournalism class at uni, I would always sing the dr. who theme song every time I went through the tartus in the photo lab. or I would say in a dramatic voice "the taaaarrrtus...". No one understood. It was fun for me though. Degrassi & Jump Street Always thought Degrassi was crap Cdn tv, but watched it anyway. Just like I watched the Littlest Hobo. So bad, yet not U.S.-tv bad, just Canadian-low-budget bad. There's a difference. Never saw any stars though, but because 21 Jump Street was filmed in Vancouver, I knew about 50 people in highschool who either had bit parts or were extras, brushing the likes of famesters such as Johnny Depp and Richard Geco (sp? obviously not so famous now...) Hastings 10, y'all. Cheese yum. Currently on a brie fixation. Sushi Yum. Time to brag: I eat it *all* the time and I am not rich by any means. This is because I live in the "Pacific Rim" as businesspeople like to call it. All you can eat sushi and $5.95 sushi specials w/ miso soup! all over town. Divine food it is. infp stuff Labels. But it's true, belle and sebastian speak to my infp self and upon first hearing them this was a great surprise, even before I knew anything about infp and other such personality acronyms. TOM WAITS!!! Saw him sun oct 17. He is the greatest. There was about an inch of dust all over the stage and instruments. He did songs spanning all his albums and danced like a hobo marionette. He told stories about rats falling from buildings. It was a beautiful and weird, amazing show. Plus, Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon were sitting 10 seats over and one row up from us. Ooooh, big C celebs. But I forgot about them as soon as Tom came down the aisle, shouting through a megaphone and throwing glitter dust. The crowd went wild... Pterodactyls Poetic poop all over my virtual apartment. I've been meaning to gather it up and plaster it on the list, but traffic has been high and poetry is apt to be ignored, no matter who the poet. The poetry pterodactyl still flies overhead though, threatening, threatening... Soap and Beauty Fight Club affected me, oh yes. I went off on mental tangents and couldn't leave my seat. Ikea always did scare me anyway. American Beauty is completely amazing. Kevin Spacey stuns me. And the writing is excellent. And all the deep reds, ooooh. Alice in Wonderland I just fell for the flu shot scam (it was free b/c I work in a hospital) and they gave me a candy and an extremely twee sticker of a bear holding two pink balloons and bending down to pick up a third he's dropped. I don't understand. I put it on my computer screen. Alice in Wonderland warped my fragile little mind. My dad thought it was bedtime reading for seven year olds. I am glad he did. Through the Looking Glass got a little beyond weird though. I will have to go back and reread now that I've done all the necessary drugs. Out of all four seasons, I choose autumn. Sorry summer, winter and spring, but you're just not up to snuff. Love Robyn (Pocketbook Angel is a nice song, isn't it? Talk of all the things she sees...) ===== I was reading the dictionary. I thought it was a poem about everything. ~Steven Wright ~~~ Robyn Fadden rfadden(a)yahoo.com Vancouver, BC __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Stand up for your love rights!
by mctag＠bigfoot.com 26 Oct '99

26 Oct '99

No, I wasn't "only joking". For all those who've kept schtum recently, wishing that people wouldn't send us witless crap about their lives, but not wanting to appear a party pooper, this is for you: Elisabeth said: >Notice to the whingers, teenage or not: try to remember that out of 1000 or >so people, not everyone wants to be your Agony Aunt or Uncle. Steve said: > ***watch out. this ISNT a long post as I have no need to bore you with my private life Trousers said: >Here, here. Surely if you want to keep an internet diary, there are far >more efficient ways of doing this than contributing to mailing lists. Set up >your own webpage or something, and then people can choose whether to read >about your endlessly fascinating encounters with the mundane. I hate moaning >about this kind of stuff, but pur-lease, it's becoming a drag. Fluffy said: >Jolly glad for Elisabeth speaking up for our rights, by the way. Does anyone see a pattern emerging? There's plenty more where that came from, I'm certain, and ain't it the truth? If you're going to tell us about your love lives or lack of them, think before you post, ask yourself "Will this entertain, amuse or inform? Will a significant proportion of 1000 people, the bulk of whom you've never met, *really* want to know this?". This is nothing to do with oldies vs newbies, or cliques, or one set of people being prevented from freely expressing their sexual frustrations, there is such a thing as "too much information". This is a good little list and through it I've met some of the nicest people in the world, but not for the first time people who've entertained on a regular basis are not posting and even leaving, because of a few selfish posters seem to think this is a self help group for people with Attention Deficiency Disorder. And it isn't.

Sinister: I'd like to show Mogwai around town...
by Elizabeth Arnott 26 Oct '99

26 Oct '99

Greetings Everyone, What a wonderful summer it will be... too much to look forward to... too much to do! Some ever so lovely bands are touring Australia.... MOGWAI (whom i am most excited about), Smog, Catpower and who has just been i hear you ask... Sloan, Sebadoh, Sam Prekop (the Sea and Cake) and Rebecca Gates (Spinanes) and Mercury Rev..... too much pleasure for one small lassie.... However all this pleasure will have to wait until exams are all over... which is not too long (Novemeber 9th)... i suspect i should be studying for my psychology exam tomorrow but ... well i'm preoccupied... thinking about how i would love to show those lovely Mogwai boys around town... ah well i can keep dreaming can't i? Tomorrow after the exam i am tossing up between watching "The Book of life" (by Hal) or going out to see Light's Suprising Constancy (as i have seen 'the book of life' before)... and if A slow Loris are also playing that night i will be in even more of a dilema... Perhaps i should make someone else make a decision for me (lets see which gig i can get a lift home from, if either)! Friend said they had a spare drum kit that they'd give me if i wanted it and also teach me how to play! Funnny how the least expected things also happen to me! My brother is whining about how i don't like his goldfish boxer shorts, not that i said i didn't like them i just didn't comment! Is there a need to comment on ones boxers? Who knows... Well i had better go study... my brother just asked me whether i knew my stuff and... well... i don't.... time to cram and stress!

Sinister: Sister Act
by William Messent 26 Oct '99

26 Oct '99

Whaddup kids; Juicy Lucy sez; >>SUCCESS! I was talking to my sister (DKNY trainer girl) at the weekendand she casually slipped into the conversation the following: "I was playing your Belle & Sebastian tape to my friend the otherday..." Naturally I was a tad surprised that she had taken the bait so easily(the bait being the tape which I had casually left in the stereo in her carthe previous week), so I asked if she played it much. "Yes," she replied,"now and again I do". I smiled a little smile to myself and left the tapein the car again this week.<< Well fucking hell. Who should I be out drinking with last night but the very same DKNY trainer girl. I was preparing for another night holed up in the corner of the pub clutching a vodka and tonic (after Hollyoaks and 'Enders, naturally) when my dear housemate Lisa announced that her mate was coming round. The three of us went out, had a very pleasent evening thankyou, and Claire happened to mention the Sinister list, Lucy, and all of the names that we know and love. Oh, and her DKNY trainers. Really. What a small world we all live in eh? And it just got a bit smaller. But cosier. She did have the B&S tape in her car, you know. But when I got in she took it out and put Tiffany on instead. Bless.

Sinister: put your heads down, put your thumbs up...
by JENOWL22＠aol.com 26 Oct '99

26 Oct '99

hello everyone. It's jen. I've come to the conclusion that everyone on sinster is so very nice, and I needn't have been worried at all. Everyone seems to talk about hefner a lot, which is good, because I love hefner to bits and pieces. Is it true some people from B&S helped out on Breaking God's Heart? My band have a new name. It's Indi-bindi. I don't know what it means but I saw it on a bus in turkey and thought it was a good name. And the rest of the band are sad so they agreed with me. Somebody said that they didn't know how to play Bb sus2? I just play Bb, and hope no one notices. My favourite B&S song is Le Pastie de la Bourgoisie, which I thought I'd tell everyone. It's halloween soon. Is anyone dressing up? I wouldn't be but I'm going to a party, which won't be good at all, so I have to, but never mind. Has anyone ever suffered violent abuse from wearing a b&s tee shirt? I had a girl in a steps tee shirt shout and swear at me yesterday, and you'd think they'd have forgot about it by now.

Sinister: Have a look round--it's Mr. Pound
by Emily Wilska 26 Oct '99

26 Oct '99

Hello, dearlings. For some reason, while out walking yesterday afternoon, I was reminded of a shop in London called Mr. Pound. Does anyone know of it? Does it still exist? I think there were several of them when I lived in that fine city a few years back, but the one I was most familiar with was on or near Oxford Street. My friend Chris and I stumbled upon it one day, drawn in by the recording being blasted out onto the sidewalk: "We've got dustbins, sponges, washing up soap, writing paper, toilet bowl scrubbers--all just a pound. Come in on, have a look round--it's Mr. Pound." We were amused to no end. We have similar stores here in the US, but somehow they're much less fun. They also tend not to have such, uh, emphatic marketing strategies. San Francisco is turning to fall (as in Autumn, not the band), which is actually sort of nice, as it means that I get to wear my new wool coat. It's both funny and a touch disturbing that the month and a half of summer-like weather we have out here has become sufficient for me, as I'm a summer baby and used to be much fonder of hot weather. I was in Zazie, a fab little restaurant, last Friday, and when the din of the crowd died down, I heard Sinister on the stereo. SF listees, now you have two reasons to eat here: because the food is yumlicious, and because B&S seeps through the air. Mmmmmm. My latest favorite Onion headline: Bill Bradley [US Presidential Candidate] Denies Being Into Spin Doctors in Early 90s. So damn funny. I wish I had the same mordant wit as the people who write these things. Right, then.

Sinister: X: Do you know what i just heard? last year at this season it was so cold the water in the pond froze.
by Steve Kado 26 Oct '99

26 Oct '99

i remember 2 months ago when i was in the nursery and reading all the posts was just the nicest thing. i;d read when i came home from school during the commercials on tv. but ever since i gained a voice things have stopped being so lively, not just because of alleged 'whining' but also a level of cruel snarkyness as well. frankly i'd prefer a middle path. but i'm not merely writing another post _about_ list angst, i propose to solve things. i think any evidence to suggest there is a direct causal link between my gaining a voice and the list becoming a mean place are only strengthened by: my being a leap-year birth and my being an only child the planets and chicken entrials all point to one thing, THE LIST GOD IS ANGRY! and so, we must placate it with a good old fashioned, biblical, family values style burnt offering! so, unless anyone gives me a good reason not to, i shall throw myself onto a burning pyre in my creepy back yard as soon as the weekend allows me to take a break from school. i hope you will all speak of my great sacrifice in appropriately revernt tones after i;m gone. sk ps, i also found out that cathy penguin is in my linguistics class, which is nice since it makes all my friends oh so jealous. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: tales of brave ida
by teri . 26 Oct '99

26 Oct '99

johan asked and i couldn't resist.. <<NO B&S CONTENTS (sorry) i was really stunned by all the response i got from posting about cap'n jazz and joan of arc on the list. i was going to ask if there were any ida fans were around and then a mail about that arrived. on the subject, has anyone heard the new ida ep? i thought they broke up when jenny toomey and her friend (can't remember her name) decided to quite doing simple machine. but then i saw on cdnow that ida has a new ep out on some other label.>> after jenny and kristen (i think?) stopped doing their simple machines thang, ida were picked up by a major label. capitol, perhaps? anyway, they're being treated in typical major label fashion and their newly recorded album is hidden away, probably in some record moguls front closet. hopefully it will be rescued. that ep (called "losing true") is wonderful. it's a little different than other ida stuff - it has more of a smoky cabaret feel to it. it was released on bingo records. and there you go. exam-time, teri ______________________________________________________ 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: Re: Hefner & T-Shirts
by Calumn 26 Oct '99

Whoo! He delurks like a flitting shadow to say: "Jen" wrote: "I found out how to join this list from a very nice person at a >Hefner/Micheal Shelley gig who had a homemade Tigermilk tee shirt. " erm, That was me (I was that soldier) - The gig in question was for BBC Choice's "BeatRoom" and damn fine it was too! Glad you found us, Jenn... I had thought that my directions may have been skewed somewhat as I was consuming alcohol at an alarming rate, purely for continuity reasons, of course! I only mention this because "Tim" wrote "I have a slight Belle and Sebastien story. But none one of these ones where you have a t-shirt and someone comes up and talks to you about it, and then five minutes later you're shagging rather hard. " Oh! I had no idea. This could have saved me months of planning and a fortune in expensive meals & tickets to see popular beat combos. Just throw on my "Tigermilk T" and wait for someone to talk about it. No Fuss, No Muss, No Bother. Does this mean my girlfriend can take my wearing a B&S T-shirt as proof of infidelity? Hope not, I like that T-shirt. Anyway... "Paul Arathoon" wrote: >No B+S content but Hefener do have a nice line in badges which kind of makes >up for it. At the BeatRoom gig, they even had a "Rawk Moment" when due to "artistic temperament", a stylophone hit the floor, closely followed by a spate of lager sipping that wouldn't have seemed out of place at a Pogues gig.
