Sinister: journalism is dead. long live journalism.

strange. i just read my last message and it seems i wrote that i wanted to kiss my ex's arse. it should of course have read KICK his arse. i definitely don't want to kiss it. any more. unfortunately we got on quite well at the awards, which meant i got depressed having to go home without him. but i also could have been depressed because of the infantile drunken hacks who made up most of the 'glamourous' audience/nominees. they will no doubt be the tabloid journalists of the future and i hope they all die a miserable death, especially the bloke who shouted 'fuck off' at the lovely david aaronovitch when he announced he'd won something. that's gratitude for you. i am disillusioned with the future of the media. and not just because we didn't win anything. still, i got to dress up and i survived the experience intact without running desperately into the Ex's arms. but i did have to play hefner very loud on the way home to calm me down (i wanted b&s but didn't have any with me). discovered while doing this that it sounds like someone's making a cup of tea in the background on 'another better friend'. richard colborn may have leant them drum parts, but he obviously didn't show them how to use them properly. how i wish i could sit in on struan's scrabble games. although being a hopeless pedant i would have to query the validity of 'cunting'. b&s should write a song about scrabble, it's pretty twee (unless you're allowing words like 'cunting', i suppose.) or maybe looper could do one - stuart david mumbling random words from a real game over some xylophone (now that would be a high scoring word.) CHRIS MOYLES!!!!!!!?????? nooooooooooooo!!!!!!! still, anyone with sky fancy hosting a tv evening next saturday?? :) tainted love, archel xxx ps: i might be starting another little mag myself soon, for poetry and thoughts and stuff. submissions will be welcomed with a mug of hot chocolate and a roaring fire, so mail me if you're interested. ******** Rachel Playforth archel(a)iname.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: insert one of your favourite song lyrics here
by The Narrow Wizard 14 Nov '99

14 Nov '99

well hi de ho my strange chums sorry if this doesnt make much sense but i spent 13 hours drinking yesterday (ENG-ER-LAND ENG-ER-LAND ENG-ER-LAND) and thus have a rather impresive hang over had a meeting with one of my tutors on thursday, she used to be seeing a flatmate of stevie jackson when she was in glasgow as a student, apparently he used to take his guitar to parties in order to serenade women and at her birthday party he played corrina corrina to her. i think serenading women at parties is nice but i dont think i could do it myself. autumn and winter are nice just a bit too dark. in winter we can go sledging on binliners which is good. someone suggested a new game of thinking up goth versions of B&S song titles...first a few that we dont need to change the state i am in the boy done wrong again i dont love anyone and now for a few perversions of the originals im wicked and i dont care (is it wicked not to care) fucks in the snow (okay so thats more punk than goth..funny though) just a gothic rock song a century of black eyeliner that'll do for now eh a few people seem to be under the misconception that i spend my time complaining both about having to fight women off and about never being able to pull. well i never claimed either, i said i get women very rarely (im an ugly sod) and when i do they just want to get straight into bed rather than hanging out, talking and generally spending time together. this is why im generally not to happy with the (unfair) fairer sex. im gonna start my dissertation today...only 18,000 words to go. have a good one reverend owen 'dangerous' lowery 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".

every time i post i promise myself i wont post again for another...week...month...year... but then the wine comes and it the night gets to me and fuck it not even kitty's awake to listen to my lullabies. i met chan marshall and she said "oooohhhh i love you're coat" in her sweet southern draw and i held back with all my might the reply of "can i kiss you please" and i learned today that the english dont use the word 'barrette' they say something like 'hair grip' which sounds painful. i dreamt last night staurt m. met my father. in the back seat driving down eagle road and my father said, 'do you eat buffalo wings, stuart?' and stuart looked at me with wide confused eyes. and for once in my life i hadnt a word to say. love danielle Whaat!!!

Sinister: Can you pic-nic?
by Kt788＠aol.com 14 Nov '99

14 Nov '99

don't waste the biggest shopping day of the year actually shopping. come picnicking with us instead. Well actually, a picnic might not work if it's freezing cold so I am going to attempt to arrange a meet-up for anyone in the massachusetts area. well anyone can come, really. This is actually Tom's idea and he is coming all the way from salt lake city. So i am depending on all of you not to let our southwestern brother down. The date is November 26 so many people will have the day off (day after thanksgiving) and Tom's gonna be here (and maybe his friend), so it seems right. There will be no turkey and No football. There'll be mu-u-usic! Open to suggestions on a meeting place, though i have a few places in mind. Anyone interested please mail me. we'll have a real old fashioned hootenanny. kristie +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Re: Sinister: romance is for suckers
by Nick.Dastoor＠guardian.co.uk 13 Nov '99

13 Nov '99

Hello. Baaa. When I saw the subject of Johan's message I thought it was a mucky reference to the 'controversial' Catherine Breillat film. I saw that this week. It upset me quite a lot. It's all about the dark recesses of sexual identity and how relationships are really all really fiendish power struggles. 'Romance is the illusion of love', opines Breillat in an interview. Oooh - I guess that makes the title I-R-O-N-I-C. I felt like sticking 'Lazy Line Painter Jane' up their miserable arses. I suppose that makes me a twee fucker who doesn't understand THE DARK SIDE. Well better that than be a goth. Although I am a bit partial to a bit of 'the 4AD Belle and Sebastian' once in a while. New game: give me... goth versions of well known Belle & Sebastian songs. I'm very excited about these new songs. Perhaps Stuartemm will have written one of them for a change. That would be nice. I also applaud the band's decision to throw their aesthetic masterplans out of the window and appear on an Sky One show hosted by Chris 'Boils' Moyles. Look what it also says on the band's site: > We are also recording a Peel session in December, to > be broadcast on Radio 1 early next year. Huzzah - at last. >Me: I'm fed up with this. >Grant off Eastenders: Who else is on the show? >Me: Travis, Weller, Oasis, McCartney, Sting probably. >Grant off Eastenders: Oh, I love that Travis. (sings) Why does it always rain... >Me: You're not helping. Stuart's just like us, really. Except he can't be, because he also writes all those songs. That's the thing you can't get away from with art - it's all produced by artists. I'm in a funny mood. A while ago, I read this: >perhaps i could have thought of something more appropriate >than oh if i hadn't spent the previous 3 hours in the pub >consoling a newly single female friend. that always happens >to me cos im dead unthreatening and so they come to me when >they break up with their exciting blokes in order to be >convinced that there are nice guys in the world, then they >start going out with the next exciting guy they meet. well >i've decided to become interesting cos its obviously the way >to get girls. > a) not ironing my jeans > b) buying myself a small motor scooter > c) allowing my cd collection to deviate from > alphabetical order (not the > vinyl though, a man can only go so far) > d) pretending that i have actual friends who e-mail > me and not just people i've never met Beware young wizard! This light-hearted pique about girls and their crazee ways might one day turn nasty. Once you have found that throwing your CDs into a big heap and not washing for a week still doesn't bring the girls a-knocking, you could find yourself replacing 'exciting blokes' with 'bastards' or 'fuck ups'. And then you'll might start really RESENTING girls for not playing fair by fancying you rotten. And then you might turn into a miserable old cunt. And misogyny is not cool. Although it might be a real bitch magnet. I really don't know. Anyway, best not to worry too much. Generalising about such things is the road to ruin. See 'Romance'. Or rather, don't. Anyway, yes - you still haven't answered Mark C's question about how this squares with your earlier claims of being mobbed by women wherever you go. Were they not 'the right sort of girls'? These things cut both ways, remember. There was once a terrific song by a band called Airhead went 'Funny how the girls you fall in love with never fancy you / funny how the ones you don't do'. It predated the crap-breezy-indie-rock craze by several years. Thinking about it, Airhead are a perfect example of the artless product of a people who aren't artists. And that's why we can all relate to it so well. Cuz you know it *is* funny how the girls you fall in love with never fancy you. And you know what's SO IRONIC - how the ones you don't DO. Sheesh!

Sinister: madeline
by Tigerxdare＠aol.com 13 Nov '99

hello darlings, i was out last night getting a video, and i went into a childrens consignment shoppe that was nearby. to my great delight i found a true treasure- this store carried madeline dolls and accessories something that i have desired for quite some time. these dolls are damn near impossible to get ahold of, ive looked and looked. i remember loving madeline so, because i use to watch it on the telly when i was a wee one. i am pretty sure, but cant seem to completely remember, if they show and all madeline stuff in general in from england or not. i think it is, because i recall everyone having english accents on the cartoon. if any of you know anything as to the origin of madeline, please mail me. i am very curious and would love to know....today i am going back there to buy one of the dolls. it is fabulous. xoxo, lauren +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Who really likes music more?
by OLDSCHREC＠aol.com 13 Nov '99

In a message dated 11/12/99 6:14:21 PM, owner-sinister-digest(a)Majordomo.net writes: << I think I may disagree. The person who only loves the Beatles, The Who and D. Bowie but is unaware of the Extra-glens may simply be showing that their love for the Beatles is as much as someone's love for obscure bands and other stuff. I just don't think its a way to measure who likes music more. I don't think there are any indicators. Maybe someone can comment on this and change my mind? >> I think it is easy and convenient to be a Bowie, Beatles or Who-> fan but the person that goes deeper into obscurity may grow more as a result. Not to sound like a musicologist snob, but I think the person into obscure music has the better acquired taste since they have explored more avenues in music than what is readily available. They might not like music more but would be considered more developed to make opinions on what is available due to their extensive background. Just a thought...
