*stands there, back to over a 1000 sheep and goats, picking nose obliviously* *goat comes and chews the bottom of my pants, eyeing me with a cold, goat eye* *in my alarm, tugging frantically upon my pants (and having just removed finger from nose) I find myself surrounded by sheeps and goats of all sizes, shapes, and colors* "um. hello." --i say, blushing, slightly pawing at the ground. I look down to the dust, only to find a pair of fluffy feet. and something itching at my neck. "baaah. baaah. bleat bleat baaah." jeepsters, I'm a sheep! I immediately fall to pondering. Does this mean I will like pokemon now? beanie babies? listen to the spice girls, or ricky martin? can I be a super karate ninja sheep, ready to conquer evil with a flying kick? because then I don't have to like pokemon. a newscaster on the news last night said "pokemon" and i cringed. that yellow glassy eyed creature scares me. black-eyed devil be gone! *and with my accurate, deadly toss of a six pointed star, the little yellow creature turned into a poof of smoke* we all love G!E!O!R!G!E! D!I!C!K!I!E! he's on the list crush rise. me likes robin stout too. I wish she posted more often. and me likes archel. and lesley jo. and i likes other peeps too, but I won't say who, cuz that would be telling! super cyn, the sheepy ninja girl ______________________________________________________ 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: Matthew 25:33

Hi Ruminants, Can I beat Chris Leonard? Er, I mean can I beat Chris Leonard by being the first to confirm that listmummyHoney's instinct & memory were right, & that the sheep were set on the right hand & inherited the Kingdom, whereas the goats were set on the left* & were sent to the Eternal Fire with the devil & his angels. And now I can't get rid of a disturbing image of the young Honey turning the pages of the Freemans's catalogue with one hand. *Actually, this is a bit of a problem for us on the SINISTER list :( David Derringer Chelmsford, UK +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: you made me forget...
by Archel1978＠aol.com 09 Nov '99

09 Nov '99

BITCH thanks for the advice erica. have since discovered that no fewer than 2 of my female friends also hate bitchwoman (and she didn't even try to steal their boyfriends) so maybe we will launch a three-pronged attack. i can't quite bring myself to admit that we're just shallow and jealous as hell. HEFNER i suppose what darren hayman meant was that if you can drop names of obscure bands into conversation then it proves you go out looking for new and exciting and different music, rather than just listening to what's on the radio. (on a side note, isn't it ironic that the stereophonics sang 'you shouldn't believe your radio' when what our radios tell us is that stereophonics are really quite a good band worth playing until your ears bleed in protest???) but anyway, i agree with rob that you can prove you're passionate about music by your devotion to the beatles or many other bands. however, you do not qualify as passionate about music if you play 'steptacular' on repeat 12 hours a day. you may be passionate, but you would not recognise real music with real love put into it if it bit you on the arse. sorry steps fans. MORE HEFNER darren does whine a tad on hefner records, but my god he's right on the button when it comes to painful truths about love and sex. course, he can also talk some utter tosh about swans having sex with geese, which betrays an ignorance of both ornithology and greek myth. PORN i am fascinated to hear that chris geddes is an avid watcher of the 'history of pornography' programme. what can this mean? PENIS pete, i probably did half mean to be snide about my boyfriend's dimensions. or at least, i didn't care enough to change the wording to something less ambiguous. (oh, and the cornflake thing was me misquoting - as i now realise - from gregory's girl. but if you're doing a treatise on it then you know that already.) FAVE B&S BIT at the beginning of 'you made me forget my dreams' when they have to start again, and struan says 'uh huh' in that dreamy, breathy way like he's just concentrating on the music. sorry i'm being so verbose, prolix, talkative, rambling at the moment. i feel like i need to post lots in case i am ripped away from sinister again to drive forklift trucks or whatever the benefits agency see fit. luv archel xxx ps: wasn't the dress shirls wore on saturday just a welsh flag? or was that another occasion? if so, i think not. dragons don't suit me. ******* 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: London is full of Americans, the The Pastels and 20% of GEORGE DICKIE
by Robert Foster 09 Nov '99

09 Nov '99

Hello people. I just thought I should mention that I have recently purchased a copy of Me And A Monkey On The Moon by Felt. I have to say that I think that it is extremely good. I purchased an Orange Juice cd also, but that is of lesser quality in my opinion. If anyone has any dirt on Felt them please mail me. If you are too lazy to press the Reply button then press your finger here ( mailto:untitled@CompuServe.com ) That's me that is. I also asked for - a couple of weeks ago - information about the The Pastels. I got a few responses from the very lovely kind hearted folk of the forests giving it large in the low down innit. I also sent an e-mail to some bloke who sometimes plays with the The Pastels, he said that Katrina from the The Pastel's would mail me. She hasn't though. But may I applaud that man, or woman who ever they were who said that GEORGE DICKIE KICKES ASS. I have mailed MR DICKIE my self and we have agreed to MAKE BABIES TOGETHER. ALL 20% OF US - never mind. Rob - all 80% of me +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: The Postman Always Rims Twice
by Peter Miller 09 Nov '99

09 Nov '99

I'm sure I speak for hundreds of thousands of listees when I say that Blake will be most fondly remembered for his enormous contributions to the huge pile of 70s WHO content that has graced the list over the years. Let's hope that LIFEHOUSE project finally comes to fruition, eh Blake? I've seen a film called SLAM. Is this what Friday nights down the Po Caff are like? I thought it was a terrible film. I much prefer Rufus Thomas in WATTSTAX: THE LIVING WORD. He makes up little poems to get funky chicken pitch invaders off the field, and it works. And it's funny too, SLAM isn't very funny. To be honest it's not bad at all, just not as good as I was expecting. A bit po-faced. Someone was talking about the shocking prices to get books sent from Britain to America. You should be able to order via USA Amazon, thus saving on postage. I once ordered an American book from the British one. I felt like I'd really achieved something. I don't think you'll be able to get it sent for less anyway. You can get your own back later by ordering something really massive that costs a bomb to send. That's my theory anyway. It's a bit sad really. I'm on page 281 of THE MITROKHIN ARCHIVE. I think it's all made up. I'm also thinking of becoming a spy. I'm going to start by defecting to the BPI and telling them everything I know. Last week, I wrote: and who can honestly say that they haven't had a good chug about Ally McBeal? Less than an hour later, Trousers wrote: PS: Mr Miller, I'll get back to you on Monday, if that's ok? Hmmm. I thought that was really funny over the weekend, but in the cold light of day it seems plainly obvious that Trousers wasn't referring to Ally McBeal fuelled masturbation at all. Still, it's the thought that counts. Another thing that seemed really funny over the weekend was the thought of George W. Bush being asked to name the leader of the Belle and Sebastian mailing list: "Yeah, the mummy. That's the guy, the mummy." "And his name?" "The mummy's name?" "Yes." "Mummy." Well, I thought it was funny anyway. Ms Playforth, why don't you ask Shirley Bassey to lend you that dress she wore to the rugby on Saturday? It's bound to do the trick. And make it clear that, unlike some, you don't pop your cork for every man you meet. You should definitely go, someone might give you a job. It's all wheels within wheels. I know this message's over, and it never really began.

Sinister: Surprisingly full of Belle and Sebastian, actually
by Robin Stout 09 Nov '99

09 Nov '99

I listened to "If You're Feeling Sinister" last night for the first time in ages and it sounded like it did the day I bought it. Or better, even, some of the songs feel more appropriate now. I went through a phase of not listening to it even though I thought it was the best album ever, because it was simply *too good*, and if I listened to it too much I thought it might lose it's specialness. A bit stupid, really when you think about it. The best Belle and Sebastian moment is when the piano comes in at the start of If You're Feeling Sinister. That and the bit at the start of Fox In The Snow when Staurt sings "..where do you go.." and he sounds like he's about to die from a broken heart. Don't die Stuart! Here, chew on this Curly Wurly! I went to see some barrel burning on Friday and almost got beaten up by one of the barrel burners. He was enormous and his beard was thick from years of inbreeding. I wasn't punched though. I only had my face squashed against a tree. I was staying for the weekend with a bunch of crazy art students who seemed to spend most of their time talking about nude parties and "chemistry", if you know what I mean. I half expected Jarkko Frantila to turn up. It was fun, though, and we had fireworks. Hooray! I think the new B+S album should be called "A Scarf That's Big Enough For Everyone". I could do with one of those at the moment. And a nice cup of tea. And, mmm, sausages. Right then, I'm off to photograph my squishy bits. That's bound to amuse the ladies at Boots.

Sinister: We've burnt the shed, it's a lonely view......
by Pete Ramsdale 09 Nov '99

09 Nov '99

Oh, If only Anthony Kiedis knew how much fun I have by mishearing all his lyrics...... Hello all. I wasn't going to post, since I am still only half way through my treatise on why Gregory's Girl reminds me of B&S, but I have a terrible suspicion that the powers that be have just called me a goat. And although I do tend to eat the furniture if left on my own for long enough, I'd much rather be a sheep. Even if that does mean that I get shagged by welsh people. I've had worse...... As usual, Archel has made me think. To which I can only say: "Don't. It hurts". But I'll reply anyway. The first bit was: > in an attempt to fill the (actually quite small) void left by my boyfriend, which made me think (but only for a minute) that the usually ever-so-demure Ms. Playforth was having a right old go at her ex-boyfriend's penis size. But after a while I realised that my altogether too rapid conclusion was simply a product of talking to too many of my own ex-girlfriends. I'm sorry I ever doubted you, Archel. Even though you did manage to compound my confusion by unanimously stating that fireworks are better than sex. The following was also mentioned: > "twelve tons of cornflakes pass under this bridge every day" which I can only assume is a slogan painted on a bridge. It isn't, however, the best one, which in my humble (but nevertheless completely correct) opinion is painted on a bridge in Oldham: "Oldham: The home of the tubular bandage". Now there's something to be proud of. I was also impressed (and slightly amused) by Carsmile's references to "The Laughing Gnome" by David Bowie. When I was back in Manchester, said P!O!P! superstar did a two-hour radio phone-in, the premise of which was that he would play any song that somebody rang in and asked for. The great bit about it was that the whole shebang had to be called off after the three-hundred and seventh request for The Laughing Gnome. I chortled. I don't think I'm a gnome, though, although bits of me are suspiciously small. According to various ex-girlfriends, at least. As for B&S content, well, I shall wait until I finish the stuff on why Gregory's Girl reminds me of B&S to post it. Or not, if it's crap. But, I'll offer simultaneous congratulations and possible commiserations to Laine, who wins my ultimate admiration for the obviously adept and downright sexy way she managed to club herself around the head with an exceedingly large, vertical lump of metal whilst talking about B&S. That's true dedication, that is - selflessly extoling the virtues of our favourites to another possible list member whilst risking broken bones and brain damage when big inanimate things jump out at you. Watch out for poles indeed. Especially that John Paul the Second character. Right nasty bastard he is - he'll lamp you one as soon as look at you.

Sinister: (No Subject)
by Curtis Heath 09 Nov '99

09 Nov '99

It was going to be a good day today. I knew because there was a piece of hardcandy left in my pocket from the last time I wore these bluejeans. That's always nice. All day I played with the crisp plastic wrapper that surrounded the candy, twirling it round and round in my pocket. Whatever bad things that might happen today would be resolved this evening when I savored the sweetness between the roof of my mouth and my tongue. But it seems that a grasshopper landed on me the last time I wore these jeans. He must've clinched to my jeans until I hung them up for the night, at which time he crawled in my pocket. You can imagine my surprise this evening when my hardcandy saviour turned out to be what was left of his head.

Sinister: Boston meet-up?
by Justin Williams 09 Nov '99

09 Nov '99

Morning kids, I'm going to be in Boston from Dec 19 - Jan 4, so unfortunately I'm going to be away from all my friends over Christmas and New Years. Does anyone know of a New Year's or Christmas meet-up in the area? I've never been to Boston before so if I get no replies I'll be forced to spend New Years' Eve with my Great Aunt whom I have never met, either that or I'll just wander about aimlessly until I find a bar that isn't too seedy and debaucherous, or one that is for that matter. E-mail me privately if you know of anything. I apologize to Honey if I could have been more resourceful about finding this out. For all I know there is a fabulously designed directory of events somewhere, but I am at work and have little time to look. I hope everyone is doing great...
