Sinister: You won't believe in my new belle, she flits and weaves a curious spell
by Erica MacArthur 21 Nov '99

21 Nov '99

Dearest lovely-things, Belle looked gorgeous on The Tube last night. I have no qualms in saying I want to *be* Isobel Campbell. I have to say I was a little distracted by Struans Arms Of Sex - and dissapointed at very few Gratiuitous Cooke shots (I'm beginning to think he's more of a beautiful boy than ol' mad dog murdouch himself). There is a part near the beginning, when he nearly cracks up laughing singing "ri-de in the field, ri-de-(hehe) in the field" which is fantastic. It's dissapointing that they only played one song, but I'm glad it was 'lonliness of a middel distance runner'. A lady formally of this parish send me a tape of it earlier this year, saying "after you hear it you won't know how you lived without it". How right she was. I'm afraid I don't have the means to make video copies, but I could make good quality tape copies of the one track, should anyone not have it/desire it - because honestly, it's a really, really good song, and if anyone else could feel like I did when I heard it, well - it can only be a Good Thing. Mail me privvy, like. You can't trust video players to function while you are sleeping. The belles safely recorded and doubled checked, I set the video to record 'Zero De Conduite' (the film upon 'If.....' was based) and tucked myself into bed. It didn't work. Our central heating is broken at the moment too, so I am sitting here with an electric heater stuffed up my vest. Legwarmers are suddenely a very attractive fashion statement. Last night reminded me of something my brother said after spending his first week in halls of residence - "I was wearing ALL of my clothes, and I was still cold". I think he stole that one off Ben Elton. Students eh? >I DO NOT (ooh, I almost went a bit DICKIE there), however, wear any >semblance of a headscarf ooh, I do sometimes. Though not in the 'pirate' style, like the girl from S Club 7. I always want to say "ooh ar!" when discussing pirates, but always end up sounding like a country bumpkin instead. No fair, I say, and there's nothing wrong with looking like a granny. I stole lots of my grandma's clothes when I last went up to Yorkshire - twinsets with pearl buttons! knee length tweed skirts! wonders! It's so hard to find nice *new* clothes if you don't like looking like a chocolate-box army commandor. Pastel utility chic? has the world gone mad? naturally. Erica x Oh dad, she's driving me mad. http://www.chickpages.com/rants/golighty/index.html +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Shiny happy people holding hands (& Tube videos)
by James Thorniley 21 Nov '99

21 Nov '99

(STUFF ABOUT TUBE VIDEOS AT THE BOTTOM) Hello sinstiers, I haven't posted for a while (i'm suddenly all nervous, please be gentle) but here goes. Well, on reading through last weeks post I couldn't help but feel a little admiration for our dear Elle, I just though how nice to defend a friend like that, especially when your risking the odd insult on yourself. I feel a bit guilty for not doing that enough for my friends (and a bit sad that I can't imagine anyone doing it for me, sob sob). But since this is fast turning into a depressing rant of mine, and I'm probably making dear Elle blush, I will hastily change the subject briefly. HAIRDRESSERS Do you ever get the feeling that when the hairdresser looks in the mirror, they're actually checking on their own hair rather than looking at you? I just noticed this the other day when I got my hair cut - it's all short and cold, it gave me a headache. B&S DREAMS Funnily enough, I managed to have a sort of B&S related dream without the involvement of any of the band members. I was in this weird African country (the exact purpose of me being there is unclear, I was out saving the world in some way or another), when this bloke in the street asks me if I want to buy any B&S cd's. I politely declined on the basis that I already had a complete collection, I blushed a bit when I realised I had admitted to being one of those obsessive fans ;) So anyway, this guy tells me in a bizarre cockney accent that I didn't have everything, and he shows me his collection. I picked up on of the CDs and sure enough I've never seen it before. So I bought that. Then came the weird bit; I dreamt I had woken up (you know, where you dream you're back in your bedroom), and that I still had the cd. I put it on and I actually thought it was quite good. Of course, it probably wasn't, but I can't remember it now. AND FINALLY >even people who like Belle and sebastan can be cruel and >heartless individuals Gosh, I hope that doesn't get quoted in Select. Anyhow, must be off Bye everybody p.s. As far as the tube thing is concerned, I only saw them play The Loneliness of a Long Distance runner, or middle distance runner or whatever it is. Anyway, they might have played something later on in the show, I will check my video today. I will see if I can set up some video chains maybe if there is any interest in that sort of thing. If you have a video can you please email me with "bs-vid-available" in the subject line and if you're still interested in just hearing this one song could you please email me with "bs-vid-request" in the subject line. I don't need any other information apart from your email address for now. If you can tell me if there was any more B&S stuff later on in the show maybe you could tell me about it. I will get in touch with the people who are interested towards the end of next week. Oh, if you are outside the UK could you please state it.

Sinister: On the joys of record shopping, in London and Dublin
by Sarvenaz Norouzy 21 Nov '99

21 Nov '99

Dear all, I am soon to travel a good distance from the safety network of my favourite record stores, and need advice on where to look for all things musically good in London and Dublin. Are there any wonderful little treasure troves that you know of and would be wonderfully kind enough to share with a traveller deprived of her vinyl fix? I'm afraid I'll be signing off the list soon because my mail box is to travel with me and i really must cut down on my mail gluttony. Any advice you can e-mail me privately will be much appreciated and printed out in gold letter to be placed in a shrine bedecked with morrissey posters. With thanks, Sarvenaz Norouzy +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Merry meadows and pipers blaring
by Jason Andreas 20 Nov '99

20 Nov '99

Hi kids :) BAND MEMBERS I like Isobel, myself, and I bumped into her cute self once, sans scarf, although she was wearing a bobble hat. I said 'Ghieu....' and she smiled apologetically and moved swiftly off. Now, she's the first famous person I've had trouble talking to. I was with Heather one time and singing TIJAMRS when Stuart Murdoch almost knocked me over, just outside Pizza Hut. Oddness, eh? DREAMS I'm getting scared now, because Owen has now appeared in another dream recently, this time, Lauren (Tigerxdare) was in Glasgow when Central Station exploded and people kept commenting on how much they admired his Scottish accent while I tried to explain that it wasn't. I need help. Lauren was cute though :) LIST CRUSH I now, for some odd reason, have four votes. One has been accounted for, who were the other three? Please, I have to know!!!!!! FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO MAILED ME ABOUT MY ABSCENCE I haven't posted so much out of respect for the grand work that listmummy does and the pressures he is under to maintain our little grotto of peace. I do wish I had more relevent stuff to say.

Even though I am a girl,I love the look of boy-thing clothing.It has that whole oversized 'my boyfriend lent me HIS sweater!' appeal.Plus it has that lovely boy smell...all hugo boss and after-shave lotion.FunkySeb,when Stuart David's nightshirts go on sale,you must inform me.(Now here's some stimulating questions.What do the members of B&S sleep in? I bet Struan sleeps in the buff because he's an artsy fella.) I mean,if Stuart wants to raid MY closet,he can at any given moment.Although,I do think it would be more suitable to Chris Geddes tastes.For example,my friends mother gave me a pair of retro from the 70's tight(TIGHT!) red(bright RED!) velvet pants with mega flare.Chris...they're yours...you could wear them so well. Starry wrote: Apart from Stuart David who >honks of rancid piss and I fully intend to throw rotten tomatoes at him the >next time I see him. Now THIS is simply unacceptable.Why you be dissing my main man?It's time to lay the smackdown.Bring it ON Starry! Stuart David emits a pleasant fragrance that sings from the heavens and makes the angels dance.I must comment on this idea of meeting members of the band in real life and not insulting them.Ok even if one TRIED one couldn't lay it on the Stuarts. Struan emits wobbly-red lasar-wave sex vibes.One would be all like 'Alright,its on bitch,' and Struan's eyes would glow red,smoke would come from his nostrils and he would raise his hand and use his said sexual prowess and that would be THAT...you would be trying to swing a fist and your legs would just buckle underneath you and you'd fall over...only having enough strength to hoarsely whisper 'O! Please be kind!' and minx-like Struan,with hands on hips would be standing there laughing. Yay for manly hunks of burning love! best wishes, genevieve p.s.. I voted for Gregory's Girl on that bbc thing.And I've never even seen it.I also voted for the Never Ending Story.This is bit from the site: ' Gregory's Girl' was one of only a handful of movies to have successfully transferred to celluloid the contents of a pubescent schoolboy's head, gently probing all those worrying questions so peculiar to that time of life, like "what on earth are girls all about", "how on earth do I get one?" and "why do they speak that strange language that I don't understand".
