Sinister: Do You Remember The First Time?
by David Strange Strange 21 Nov '99

21 Nov '99

Hello fellow sinisterettes, I hope you are all warm and well. This is my first ever post so sorry if I ramble on slightly , but I'm sure eveyones first ever mail wasn't much cop. I just thought I'd write to tell you all about the book we are reading in my English class in college The Great Gatsby it's fabulous and I love it. If you haven't read it why not, it's very underrated but most good things are right!. I love it soooo because of the brilliantly poetic descriptions Fitzgerald uses it's beautiful. The tube thing last night was certainly very strange B&S were brilliant of course but the comedians and Donna Air and all that dodgy dance music gave me a headache and I ended up going to bed at 11. It was a shame that no-one danced really though except me and the whole of the list I bet. Also can people post my privately about the whole Sinister Badge upside down thing please when did it start etc.? Right back to being a lurker and another cup of tea David XXXX ________________________________________________________________ Get FREE voicemail, fax and email at http://voicemail.excite.com Talk online at http://voicechat.excite.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: twee has the word "wee" in it.
by JENOWL22＠aol.com 21 Nov '99

Hello all! Some one asked why he/she should buy Gentle Waves stuff. Here's a point. Because it's very good. A bit like belle and sebastian, only even more melancholy, and with Bel's voice. Still not as good as B&S but very worthwhile buying. While we're still on the subject of bel. All the B&S bashing makes me laugh, especially the squirrels thing. And it's only good fun, i think. (unless isobel really DID get kidknapped by squirrels in which case then oh no). If people get pissed off about it then I have no objection to that either, but it makes me laugh to read some of the stuff. Someone else mentioned Bunty. I like Bunty. It's still going, but I used to be better. The 4 Maries were my very favourite. I like reading old Bunty anuals best, though I'm getting the latest one for my christmas. Does anyone remember how you used to get free hair slides? They were blue. I liked Mandy and Judy too. Does this mail have B&S content? Hold on I'll check. Yup, it does. I'm still not finished my scarf yet. Boo hoo.

Sinister: Just like heaven(Movie mania)
by BrnToEnd＠aol.com 21 Nov '99

Hello sinners, Well, last night I went to see Boys Dont Cry which I recommend to all of you its such a great film and it made me cry at the end so I guess... Boys do cry...atleast whimps like me. The film really shined light on the subject for me. so far My top 5 films of the year are 1.Eyes wide shut(I know im the only one who thought it was great I CANT SEE WHY EVERYONE HATED! but thats another story that I could go on hours and hours about and kill a few people) 2.American Beauty 3.Bringing out the dead 4.Boys dont cry 5. Summer of Sam Well yeah what about Three Kings? hmmm I still dont know what to think of that one. I am a war political film freak and I loved how they showed the aftermath of the gulf war and the politics and the camera work was good but sometimes was overdone. I just didn't like the bad humor in the beginning I mean whats so funny about a cow being blown up and its guts flying everywhere? its such a werid film! Its like I loved it and hated it at the same time! ahhhhhh The insider was also another great flick too. Great acting. I have to says its been an interstening year for film and I like it. I just hope a "Titanic" doesn't come along and wreck it all because im really going to be excited about the oascars this year. oh well dont get too excited Damon Oh boy im starting to talk to myself in an e-mail I think its time for me to stop. anyways cheers to everyone and be sure to see some of the films I mentioned you won't be disappointed. -Damon +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Apocalypse Tube
by David Moore 21 Nov '99

21 Nov '99

Hi All, I'm a digestive & the Latest page necessarily lags a bit now, so apologies if this has already been posted. Just watched last nights prog (thanks to kind neighbour Alan), & our heroes perform one number (The Loneliness Of A Middle Distance Runner) about an hour & 2 minutes into the show. IMHO the rest of it was pants so I would just skip straight there if I were you. Mick plays acoustic guitar, Stevie Rrrocks out on lead, StuD sits cross-legged playing cool bass in a Nike ski hat, Richard & Wee Chris don't get too much exposure, Sarah fiddles, Isobel wears a red leather coat, & whistles. Struan sports one of his tight, white T-shirts & a big electric guitar. Looks younger than ever (that portrait in the attic must be really gruesome by now) but a bit tired - sleepless night before? nerves? (he fluffs his lines & pops the impish grin out early in the performance). To be honest none of them look like they were enjoying themsleves: it must be a pretty nerve-wracking experience after all. Nevertheless brilliant to see them on (nearly) national TV, rubbing shoulders with musical greats like er, Paul McCartney and um, other people. And now its time to take liberties as usual :) If any of you out there are musicians son James asks you to please mail him at moore.james(a)talk21.com so his fanzine The Last Resort can send you a questionnaire. PS: Sally just read this & although the spirit of Sir Cliff won't let me repeat all her comments she wanted me to add that Stuart M was more smiley than I made him out to be. I guess that they would have been more relaxed after a couple more numbers. So can we have a hour-long special, please?

Sinister: you made me forget my dreams
by The Narrow Wizard 21 Nov '99

21 Nov '99

well hello there it's me again someone suggested we play 'spot the funkyseb' when watching tv. good idea but im afraid ive made the game harder cos now i might be on tv insulting a bad musical that i was at the premier of and as everyone knows i look just like the funky one (well actually im less ginger and have shorter hair but im told we do look alike). happy seb spoting folks bel scares me, i saw her once and she was just stood at the side of the dance floor and she looked all quiet and rather self contained and so i couldnt go up and talk to her, i quite like her singing though. it seems i have now appeared in 2 of jasons dreams...hes now met me in his dreams more often than he has in real life. do you think i ought to be worried? i hope i wasnt wearing a pointy hat in this one. im sure hes subconciously jealous of my accent that would make sense of the last dream im sure. i was dissapointed to hear that B&S (wow i actually used capital letters in the post) only played one song on the tube, i still cant wait untill its shown on pauper telly though (i cant afford radar tv) ill tape it and watch it again and again. wont be the same without jules holland saying fuck though. finally id just like to report that yesterday my life turned into a comedy sketch. there i was climbing out of a girls bedroom window as her flatmates had just come back and we werent supposed to be in bed together and what happens...i get a really bad cramp in my leg while sitting on a window sill, while trying to be quiet and while the girl is nearly pissing herself with laughter at me. just thought id leave you with that image. play nicely now 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: Its only Rock'n'Roll, but I like it?
by Sarah Clarke 21 Nov '99

21 Nov '99

BELLEND SEBASTIAN IN "MAD LINT" SHOCKER! Starring: all of the band, some DRUGS, and some smells. One day Richard Colburn, the shopping trolley king of Safeways has a mad idea. "What if!", he thought, "Instead of just sitting in our bedrooms this Friday night watching taped episodes of Scrapheap Challenge, we decided to GO OUT AND TAKE SHIT LOADS OF DRUGS?". He thought this was a masterpiece of intellectual thought, and picked up the telephone and dialed the hotline to his only friends, members of "Bellend Sebastian". Somewhere sat in front of an organ, wearing a cape made by Geoff Capes, was Chrish Geddesh. Unknown to naive Richard, Chrish had been a fan of the old Wacky Backy for a long time. So when Richard called, Chrish was far too stoned to hear the phone ring. And thus he just continued sitting in his chair. Half an hour later, he fell off it, and giggled. Lucky for Richard then, that all the other Belles were in. "Hey Gang!", Richard exclaimed, "lets go out and do shitloads of drugs and get langered!". The band looked at each other in shock. Then they looked at Chris lying on the floor giggling and decided in unison, "YEAH! DRUGS ARE COOL!", and rushed out of the house immediately. At this point I should let you know that Stevie Jackon was wearing a monkey suit. I don't know why. But I like the image. After listening to the Magnetic Fields album "Holiday", because its BLUDDY GRATE, the Belles rush out to Hip and Happening Embra Nitespot, "B-Movie Themes, Spun By WHO! else but SuperStar DJ Keef Watson" and all look at each other. "NO!", burts out cracking top lass Sarah, "we do this every night, just stare at each other in some kind of wierd lustfilled but nothing ever happens scenario, aren't we supposed to like um..."..Sarah stopped, her voice trailing off as she caught the eye of Stuart Murdoch. "Bloody hell", thought Isobel Campbell, "aren't we supposed to be taking DRUGS?". Mick Cookeface, who unknown to Isobel was in fact one of those psychic mind-reading tarot card believing freaks, nodded and strode off purposefully towards the nearest person who looked like they could be a drug dealer. "Excuse me sir", Mick stuttered feebly, "This is the first time I've ever left the cosy and comforting thatched cottage in which I live, and I want to get shitloads of drugs for me and my pop pals to take. Can you help me?". The Evil Drug Dealer Who Is WICKED and BAD grinned evily. "Of course my young delicious eligible bachelor, helping people is my role in life. What drugs exactly would you be after?". Mick just gazed at him blankly. "Just, drug drugs, really. You mean there are different sorts?". The Evil Drug Dealer giggled his little arse off and ran away. "This should be funny", he thought to himself. Mick, who was still reading his mind at the time was perplexed. Why on earth would us taking drugs be funny? I'll tell you why, says the drug dealer. This is the easiest deal I've ever made. Apart from a few of the band who I know regulary like to "toke it", the others are completely useless bimbling imbeciles who, hey, I'm quite fond of anyway. "Aahahaha, hahahahaha,. hahahhaa" he giggled, as he emptied the clus vacumm cleaner bags full of the most potent drug ever.....LINT. The band were getting bored. "Ah, I've had enough of this", said monkey suit clad Stevie Jackson. "I'm going for some beer", and strode off to the bar. Two seconds later, a grinning Mick returned. "Hey dudes!", he said (having unwittingly turned into a bleached blond californian tosswit), "look! I bought some drugs! The dealer said they should be 'funny', so they must be ace!". "Hooray", said the band in moderate excitement. And as one, they all headed off to the toilets together.....together...together.... (that was where the voice was supposed to echo and we have a little fade out thing). Cut to next morning, a cinema verité interview with a toilet attendant. TA: "So they all walked into the toilet cubicle, luckily its a bit like the tardis once you get in, a Scottish thing I reckon, and I heard all these funny sniffing sounds. So I assumed they all had colds. I was just about to get them some tissues to wipe their snotty noses with, when I heard giggles. Oh no, more bluddy druggies I thought. Not that they looked the type. Then I heard this wild tormented cry of "Argh! Eek! My head is exploding and my nose tickles!". Then I heard another cry from the frail voiced one with a triangular-ish face going "Argh! Eek! I shoved it up my arse!", followed by quite disgusting farty noises. Then this guy in a monkey suit strode in, going "so wheres the drugs hep cats?". He made a strangled noise upon reaching the cubicle, and then beat a hasty retreat. Then I decided I would have a look. And lying on the floor were lots of dead people. Covered in a mixture of lint, and space dust. One was Scotlands 48th most eligible bachelor according to Daily Mail readers, and the others looked like Students who needed some food inside them. Its still beyond me how they managed to OD on lint. Stupid." Moral of the story....um...I dunno, I'm bored now. I'm off to do some gardening in a middle class suburb now, probably involving a disgusting mosaic by some middle aged retired woman who thinks she's "arty". Vile.
