Sinister: Kin's update and also request for BUFFY trade for listees living in Sydney:)
by Kin WOO 19 Nov '99

19 Nov '99

Hi sinisterinies it's your friendly mostly lurker-occasional-ranter-and-raver speakin' here. Exams are ended!!! The year endearingly referred to as hell is over- hopefully!!! (pray for no supps, pray for no supps!) No more weeks of 2hour sleeps and massive stress-outs- at least not until next year:) Great huh? Have also got two new jobs- one as a waiter in a hotel and one raising money for my medical community. The first job I haven't actually started- just a lot of training and orientation. But am nervous- have never done anything like this before. You gotta do stuff like hold three hot plates, hold two bottles of wine in the ONE hand, hold a tray of drinks all in a particular manner, not to mention wheel 12 chairs and lots of other finicky/tricky stuff. WISH ME LUCK! the other is basically telemarketing (yes the lowest of the low) but with a difference that makes it marginally more bearable. They actually send out the brochure to people (all alumni of the medical school) telling about our appeal and if the peeps didn't want a call, they should have written back and said so. Ostensibly then we are only calling those people who didn't MIND being called. But that hasn't stopped people being very rude to me:( Ah well it's all good money... Am also really interested in "Nalda Said" by the lovely Mr David. My copy of the Face describes it as sweet but unsettling (or words to those effect) which sounds just AMAZING. what do peeps think of it, let me know if it's a great book to get. Also does anyone know when it will be available in Australia??? (official people like David and Katrina please tell if ya know!) Finally all listees living in Sydney, please please PLEASE tape episodes of season one of "BUFFY" (best show on telly!) that are airing now on Channel seven on Monday, 10:30 PM. I really wanna get my hands on those episodes starting from "the Puppet Show" (this coming week). I can make it really worth your while. I have TONS AND HEAPS of rare and live Belle and Sebastian, Tindersticks, Belly, Palace,Tanya Donelly, Black Box Recorder, Dot Allison, One Dove, portishead, Garbage, Sparklehorse, Beth Orton, Radiohead, Pulp, lambchop and TONS MORE!!! Have also videotape performances of Garbage, Tindersticks, Belly and suede and more. so some Sydney listees, please take heed and tape those extremely desirable episodes and write back to me privately at the above address ok hope to hear from some of you soon (minding that i won't have access to internet for a bit so might take a while to reply) seeya Kin Woo +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Tapetree - new branch.
by Ben Ferneyhough 19 Nov '99

19 Nov '99

For those of you who missed it last time I posted, here's the second and final call for anyone wanting to join the tapetree I'm setting up. This was a huge and exciting idea, run by Kevan Cooke a while ago. What I'll need is your name and the town where you reside, UK residents only, sorry. What happens is, you make a 90 minute mix tape or CD of your favourite music (no B&S though, we all are fans of them), then it gets sent round in a jolly circle, and each 2 or 3 weeks you get the next tape on the list. I'll explain it all a lot better with the rules and the like to all who want to join the tapetree. So, just remember these 2 points for now: *1* You have to live in the UK. *2* Mail me OFF LIST ie PRIVATELY.

Sinister: whats the deal?
by triumphant loser 19 Nov '99

19 Nov '99

I was just wondering what is the deal with all these B&S related dreams that people relate? I'm not coming down on anyone, or trying to start some sort of argument....i am just curious. It all seems that the whole thing kind of trite ( you know like love at first sight) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Re: Sinister: Isobel Campbell Choked on Own Headscarf Joy!
by ELZober＠aol.com 19 Nov '99

19 Nov '99

hmmm....... common sense tells me that i should just keep my mouth shut.... but as i have always been one to fly by the seat of my pants..... there is something i need to get off my chest.... the above subject bar really bothers me..... who would find "Joy!" in something like that?..... sure, i know that a lot of the 'kidnapping' and 'killing' of Bel is all done in jest.... but i don't find it funny..... i don't want to step out of my bounds here, but i am friends with Bel.... i know her to be a very nice girl and someone i would not wish bad things to happen to for any reason.... why do people feel the need to discuss the Belle's in personal terms anyway? does anyone on this list actaully know Isobel, or Stuart or Mick? (and yes, i know there are some, but the people i know who know them don't post fantasies about them.... please don't think me ignorant of the fact that the Belle's have quite a few friends on the Sinsinter list..... but, please bear with me, i have a point here somewhere.... if i can just find it....) it doesn't matter if Stuart is nice or a total asshole, he makes great music... for all you know Bel gives Mary (of Something About Mary) a run for her money in the kindness department.... my point is, why does this matter? have we run dry of our creative resources that we are now resorting to bashing members of B&S in jest? hm..... doens't that kind of negate the purpose of this List? what kills me the most, and is ironic in a comical way.... is that so many people on this list dream of meeting Stuart, they go on about how he is perfect and whatever..... then they plot Bel's untimely demise.... hello? Stuart is a friend of Bel's, don't you think he might take offense at some of what gets said? .... if you think i am over reacting, put her name in the search engine and alot of what you find is negative and potentially hurtful.... why? my mom always said, if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all..... no one writes about Chris or Stevie being kidnapped or strangled to death by a pair of polyester flairs.... all the jesting is left for Bel..... what really amuses me is when people drone on about her music.... why? the person who started the band that is the VERY reason behind this mailing list is the person who helped start her music career down the path it is travelling... Stuart plays on her solo albums and is obviously very supportive of Bel and her music... so who are we to judge the way some of do? .... would you be willing to say that to her face or Stuarts? this is the internet and anyone is free to search the archives.... wouldn't the person who writes nasty things about Bel feel like a arse if they ever met one of the Belle's and that Belle remembered what the listee had said about someone else in their own band? i would bet $100 that if anyone on this list had the chance to meet Bel, they'd walk right up, introduce themselves as a big fan and not even mention negative comments they've posted, even if it was in jest..... i don't mean to harp on this nor am i trying to pick on anyone.... and i am not trying to preach, i usually only take the moral high ground on Sundays.... today i have made an exception... ha ha ha the point is, for a bunch of twee fuckers we can be pretty nasty with our words when we want to be.... me included... and shouldn't this be a forum for good feelings and nice words? the rest of the pop world does enough B&S bashing, i don't think it should go on here.... i know that people will do what they want, and i am in NO way trying to tell people what to post.... i just wonder if people realize that what they post about someone will probably be read by that person or a friend of that person... basically, i like being on the list, despite the whole Select quoting fiasco... bastards.... but i don't like reading posts that are negative about Bel and only Bel...write a story about how they all die from inhaling too much corduroy lint... fine... but don't sinlge one person out... ALL THE TIME.... enough is enough and that is about enough from me as well.... snoggs elle +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Transmitting sounds back to base...
by Tim Gardner 19 Nov '99

19 Nov '99

Hey Sinistereanies, Flying Saucer Attack and Spacemen 3 mentioned on Sinister? Is the world going mad?* I haven't had a Belle & Sebastian related dream yet, I'm hoping that I don't have one. I'd be terrified. I once thought that Isobel was following me but I don't think she was - it was all coincidence. Someone did follow me around once, it was last month. I'd be out somewhere, turn round and she was standing by my right elbow. One time I actually jumped in fright, scaring her as much as she was scaring me. Stalking is the new black. The closest I got to a B&S dream was leaving Tigermilk playing when I went to sleep the other night and waking up an hour before I had to get up. I spent a very enjoyable hour in a warm bed listening to Struan's dulcet tones. Lovely. As someone pointed out the other night, you can't spell "sweet" without "twee". Tim * - mad in a good way, obviously. ______________________________________________________ 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: lavender leaves with bells on trees
by st. pete of purple lampshades 19 Nov '99

19 Nov '99

what i think of when i think of b&s: heavy perfume on the carpet sinking in and lifting the dust like pleasure cold and sick and hungry with complaining she screams quietly without her normal vigor today is ice and i'm sweating like a dog given to me yesterday on a pushcart with bows and ribbons cheering with caution and reservation out the window they walk with cripples and cigarettes in the middle of a hailstorm car crash burning red horizon airbag useless safety strap snapped in under one milisecond and in that time a baby is born and i am lost and cars drive pas with hints of summer (lost) and sun dips (confused) jokes made a little too late ho how striking they lay it's a good time for a couplet now i'll dance and the wind stops its heavy breathing for a moment and i remain standing. in love, st. pete ______________________________________________________ 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: Song For Europe
by Chris Jones 18 Nov '99

18 Nov '99

Not entirely true, more a song for a little town in the middle of rural Suffolk. Every year we have a big singing competition at our school in which each house (comprising about 60 people) does a song. I am in charge of our houses competition this year, and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a song that would be fun to do, but would also give us a chance of winning and that 60 boys who may not be terribly musically gifted could sing. My favourite at the moment is "Go West" by the Pet Shop Boys. Suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks. Chris Jones. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

I chose this as the first photo to be in my journal as it's from my first modelling assignment! I felt so proud I couldn't stop smiling for days afterwards. love Barbie Which of these words would you use to describe yourself (Draw a tick in the box) Quiet () Noisy () Tall () Short () Dark () Fair () Happy () Serious () Friendly () Shy () Tidy () Messy () Sporty () Artistic () TOP SECRET!

Hello Sinister, As seen on quote of the day on nme: "All the B&S fans I've met have been hard drinking, chain-smoking all day and all nighters" Posted by CarsmileSteve on Belle and Sebastian Which made me laugh... hahaha... I know you were joking, aren't you? Oh, anyway, I fit in the description. And about weather thread, I quote "Take Me", by Chris and Carla: Take me to Siberia The coldest weather of any winter time And it'd be just like spring in California As long as I knew you were mine Beautiful huh? Oh, and if you want to hear my band, go to http://www.mp3.com/winniecooper It's everything there... I think I'm done.
