Sinister: Oh my GOD!
by Elizabeth Daplyn 10 Nov '99

10 Nov '99

Sisters in Sin: I killed Steven Pastel last night. No really, I had this bizarro dream: various stuff happened, including me losing one of my friends down a darkling abyss that opened up in the middle of a mahoosive dancefloor while we were frugging like partay animals. Then I was riding my bike down this road that was my road and yet...not. And Steven Pastel (who was also my friend Tom) was chasing me and we had this big fight and I stabbed him repeatedly with a piece of broken glass. He was like a Bond villain's pet monster: just wouldn't die. It was all very exciting and then I woke up. I don't usually remember my dreams beyond a couple of minutes after waking up of thinking "That was flippin' freaky", but this one seems to have lodged in my head. And I don't even know what Steven Pastel looks like. Oh my goodness, I started a lot of sentences there with "and". How grammatically naughty am _I_? I had a lecture from Scanner the other day. He's a weird little bald pixie-man who likes taping people's mobile phone conversations and using them to make records with. Also very *witty and urbane* in an odd sort of way. Oooh, the cHraayzee werlt of ART, eh? And now to the main question of the day: to be or not to be a sheep or a goat? Goats have scary yellow slitty eyes, which is an advantage in my view, although if I had scary yellow slitty eyes I wouldn't be able to pull the *big-brown-eyed helpless girlie stare* look off any more. Dammit. However, sheep are quite stupid, and are real bastards for waking you up in the morning with their incessant baaaaing. If you live in the Outer Hebrides. Which I don't, but have been known to sojourn ooot thurrr. Apparently it's morally superior to be a sheep: maybe they baaaa to the glory of DOG. They're really hymning paeans to the grace of our saviour when they seem to be munching heather or the Petit Prince's rose bush. Which is another point: sheep must be anti-twee because they are the force of evil on the little prince's ickle planet. Oh I don't know. Can't I be a genetically mutated sheep-goat hybrid?

Dammit. However, sheep are quite as someone who is both yellow and as a result has slitty eyes i have to say that i can still open my eyes in the cute cartoon sort of way. also, just to clear some misconceptions about yellow, slitty eyes up, we oriental types don't see the world with these black bands on the tops and bottoms of our eyes like widescreen movies as some might believe. just so you know. i also know kung fu and know my way around a wok, so watch out! i also personally manufacture all your personal electronics. stevk +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Re: Sinister: Music will destroy us in the end... (I hope)
by Mireia Menchon 10 Nov '99

Hello.... This feels like my first time posting, although it's not... It's been really long since I last mailed something (something stupid probably) but nothing I could write was going to be of anyone's interest.....so I started thinking of unsubscribing...but I guess I'm a romantic and couldn't do it. I remained silent....till today..... Of course, nothing has changed and I still have nothing of great interest..... The other day I saw Hefner, too. And yes, they're great.... if we can't have B&S around here at least we have them! it was a very fine gig, although I was much impressed in Benicassim. I don't know if it was because it was the first time I saw them or what.... This time they were as charming and everything but...maybe I wasn't in a very happy mood...And they played for such a short time....or that's what it felt.....we wanted more! There were Baxendale, too. I don't know what to think about them...songs are nice but that guy gets on my nerves.... well, I hope this mail makes me wake up from my long sleeping and I start posting (like someone cares....I know...). Bye.... M ...and then you walk home missing what you never had. ______________________________________________________ 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: I took her up the bum, which is a stupid name for a pub*
by Mark Casarotto 10 Nov '99

10 Nov '99

Owen confessed: "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." But Owen, if I remember rightly, you have to carry a Big Stick and wear Sex Armour at all times in case pretty girls try to fuck you without warning? Or has the worm turned? Oh well, it happens to us all, mate. Good luck with not ironing :-) Just thought that, in memory of Alix Campbell, I'd remind you all that English Goats Are Great. She'll thank me for saying that, wherever she is <sob>... Sheeny's coming to London! Yay! I can vouch for her being ace, so if anyone does have a roomto rent in the big city, give it to Sheeny, or go on, go on, go on, go on, etc. Off to cast a vote for that lush, pouting vixen Robin Stout :-), Markx *Craig Charles, I think, in his new stand-up show ******************************************************************* The contents of this e mail from HIT Entertainment PLC are confidential and intended for the addressee only.

Sinister: ATP back on / B&S gigs
by BabyChris Crystalballs 10 Nov '99

10 Nov '99

to begin nwith, I read on a teletext music page (ch4 - pg. 451) this morning that Anus Trajectory Problems is back on, on the 6th and 7th of April(I think). I don't know if some on has said this before, as I haven't checked my mail for 2 days. It said that all original tickets are still valid, with mogwai, the delgados, stereolab and others playing. god. I have just contributed something semi-useful. I mailed mick cook the other day asked for signed b&s goods for a charity raffle at the concert I'm organising. I mentioned that it would be nice if one of the band would come along, if they wern't busy - I just meant to come along and sample the music, not play - and he said that in january they would be busy rehearsing for some gigs - oh - joy!!! too....much......contribution........ must.....go....now..... oh, yeah - I wondered - do people think of b&s as a 'stoner band' - I thought exactly the opposite. oh, well. silly me. babychris CRYSTALBALLS __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: HBO Reverb Sinister Special!
by Walkn10＠aol.com 10 Nov '99

10 Nov '99

Next Tuesday (11-16) on HBOs Reverb, Wilco, the Flaming Lips and Super Furry Animals will all be featured playing live! Ok, its not our own lovely Belles, but its a smorgasboard of alot of "Sinister's Favorites" (tm) so I'll hope you'll tune in. Reverb is the great new HBO show that comes on Tuesdays at 11:30. It features alot of indie acts playing a handful of live songs in a club setting, and the sound is top notch! I'll be seeing Wilco in person that night (they are on a US tour, so watch out listees!), so I feel quite fortunate. Christa and Dan are going to so it may a mini-meeting of sorts. It'll be awesome! I'm watching some fairly decent twenty-something movie with Eliott Smith's "Either/Or" playing in the background from time to time (its not Good Will Hunting). Its got alot of no-name actors so I can't say whos in it...does anyone have any clue what it is?

Sinister: oh my where are my manners?
by triumphant loser 10 Nov '99

10 Nov '99

I am very sorry sinister mates for not properly interducing myself earlier. I assure you i have better manners then that. First, i am a complete bastard ( if you wish to address me as such that is fine by me). I do however respect others views. Im sure you will find me mildly offensive, perhaps a little caustic.....but oh well. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: primitive painters are ships floating on an empty sea
by The Narrow Wizard 10 Nov '99

10 Nov '99

strange times in the land of owen i had to give one of my uni tutors my e-mail address today but instead of the above one i gave her the one that is owen(a)belleandsebastian.org and she said to me in a rather matter of fact way 'oh one of my friends is in belle and sebastian, stevie, stevie jackson.' 'oh' i said as i couldnt think of anything else to say but i've got a meeting with her on thursday so if i can get any interesting gossip out of her i'll let you all know. 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. to this end i am asking for sugestions of interesting, exciting and dangerous things to do to impress girls. so far i have thought of 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 right i'm of to continue puzling over whether i'm a sheep or a goat, hmmm a sugestion for the new album title "songs for sheep and goats" what do you think? what do you call a welshman with a sheep under one arm and a goat under the other? bisexual! many goodbyes my friends 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".

Sinister: left handed six shooters
by Michele Waggner 10 Nov '99

10 Nov '99

Hey Sinisterines... Fireworks are better than sex because they go off with a bang... REPEATEDLY. FluffyStarry said something about mamas and shite awhile back, which wasn't very nice at all. She said it was Japanese, but I always thought people in that culture had a bit more respect than to talk bad 'bout their mamas. Someone outside London, give her a slap upside her haid. She also talked about Iggy Pop -- I could have run him over last year, in front of the Virgin Megastore in NYC. He was limping though and it wouldn't have been much sport. Iggy needs to go in a blaze of glory, run down by something better than a Nissan. I see Matt passed on another missive from the Squirrel Liberation Front. Now we've done it -- damn. I knew there was a reason we should have paid the ransom. Little Isobel has cracked and turned Patty Hearst on us, no good will come of this. Another cd will come of this. Burning up the airwaves with rodent protest songs. I suppose she'll start calling herself by some radical alias like "Nutella de Ville" or something and hold up the local bank brandishing a semi-automatic oak branch. No, that is NOT what she has now, that's a CELLO. On a related note, I got this sent to me at work. I was embarrassed to pass it on, but since we've decended into smut I guess it might shed a little light on Isobel's conversion... no, I'm not going to say another thing, just pass it on... http://www.texnet.net/golem/nsd/ ... and move along. Briskly. And say it wasn't me. I saw Patty Hearst in the local supermarket years back, after she'd been reintroduced to polite society -- with a vengeance. I was in the deli line and heard someone ask for Lorraine cheese in the most plummy finishing school voice I'd ever head. I turned around to smirk and there was Patty/Tanya in her best Gold-Coast matron outfit buying sandwich fixings. She looked a lot better in the beret and ammo belt, on the arm of Commander Cinque. I sigh for the failed Revolutions, I really do. Stylistically speaking. Bet she does too. Enough name dropping. I was SHOCKED to read today that there is a book called "The Anti-Christ and a Cup of Tea" which claims Prince Charles is the eponymous devil's spawn. Not the cup of tea, there's only one handle on the side of a teacup. Some other religious case says Satan could do better than that. I WISH Chris Leonard would come back. Maybe we could all join hands, click our heels together and say, "There's no place like home, there's no place like home," and he'd come back to us like the biblical Prodigal Son. Or a sheep. Either that or we kidnap his boss and find him one who is a bit more cyber-friendly. Is there a saying, "Better to be hung for a sheep as for a goat?" Goats are pretty well... nevermind. (No Matt, it was NOT me at all, I keep telling you.) I can commiserate with Lana and her pole incident. Once I was walking down a crowded sidewalk -- looking at nothing off to the side and daydreaming -- and bumped into an obstacle in my path. Being mortified and assuming people thought I was a clumsy oaf, I tried to save myself by rapidly turning and apologizing profusely -- to a parking meter. That's when the shoppers all began to guffaw loudly. When you do something like that, is it better to pretend it didn't happen, maintaining your cool and just Honey mentioned penis-shaped guns. Ask Honey about penis-shaped cat toys. Which are NOT at all. I think Honey has penises on the brain. Someone send one along please. That's more than enough of this. --michele +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
