only me nothing important to say really (well there's a surprise) but I need some help from you lot. A friend asked me to identify a song lyric and I just can't think what it came from so mail me privately if you recognise this Rats are in the kitchen scratching, whispering my name and laughing crawling up the walls into my bed.... ...a skeleton grin a slow hand clapping in it's another night in. well thanks in advance all of the people who are about to mail me to give me the answer. Oh and for all of you who read Chris Geddes' diary of a band I should just say that he is a lying little sod and that Newcastle has no good record shops and no Ikea, there is an Ikea in nearby Gateshead though, he might mean that one but there are definately no good record shops. right I'm of home to cry now 'cos the wonderful Archel has been in Scotland for the weekend but I didn't get to see her. love you all owen the sinister minister (by the way did I tell you that I'm an ordained minister..well I have now) 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: Untitled 2
by James Thorniley 28 Nov '99

28 Nov '99

It's incredibly difficult to write whilst watching the Simpsons. HELLO Well, I feel all glowey inside because I just noticed I got a listcrush vote (I'm at 132 or something). How charming. I wonder who it was. I bet it was out of pity, but I don't really care, it makes me feel all special :):) I was up late last night babysitting. It was quite an effort to get little Felicity to go to bed - she had been to see S!T!E!P!S!, and was intent on describing the entire performance to me ;) And on to what I meant to say. All you girls who are worried because all men are bastards, don't worry, love will find a way - you'll meet a complete prick and think he's wonderful. I just noticed the other day that Laura has decided to go off with Stewart. Stewart being a complete wanker and Laura being quite a nice girl. If I wasn't so shy and polite I'd give her a slap. Oh, the tube was great, I loved the whistling bit because it made me whistle right throughout the week, which did slightly annoy a few people ;) So I went into town. There was an amusing shelf: "Gifts for christmas..." "Great Sex" being the title of a book stacked underneath it. Strangely I found no knitting needles. Ok, that's everything I think. Thankyou :):):) -- James Thorniley +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Name that tune
by Chris Jones 28 Nov '99

28 Nov '99

On the episode of The Simpsons where Abe gets married to Marge's mum, they finish with a song when the two of them are on a bus. It starts "Hello Grandpa My Old Friend.." I think. Again, I feel ignorant as it is probably very famous and I should know it, but can anyone help me out by telling me what it is. Thanks. Chris Jones. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: slick

Hi List, >oh yeah, that's the new VW Cabriolet ad. I think it's beautiful. >http://www.vw.com/debut/ >caroline I agree..I love all the Volkswagen ads though..they are just so cool and so polished compared to the 'Like a ROCK..Ohhhh LIKE A ROCK'. I want the music from all the spots..especially that Cargo G song Ben Neill.I have no idea who that is,but I just found out from the website.Their commerical with the car in the Ice Hotel makes me squeal and sigh.Oh,how I long to go to the Ice Hotel! Again..I saw a list a top 50 things to do for New Years (deja vu from last year) and the Ice Hotel was number 19. My birthday is on the 19th. It should happen. Brad asked about: >but, and here's the point of this letter, i got home and i had my new issue > >of maxim magazine in my mailbox (does anyone else out there read this) >and >the new beck cd. the new beck cd is interesting. that's all i'll say. > >i heard isobel is addicted to toot. Well,according to the december issue of Cosmo: "Beck:Midnite Vultures Believe it or not,Beck has dumped his geekiness and is here to sex you up.Midnite Vultures is full of slinky grooves and nasty talk."Peaches and Cream" does a salacious bump 'n' grind,and "Debra" is a glimpse into Beck's dirty mind." I'm curious about it too.I still have trouble with Beck because he brings back horrible grade 7 images of spotty,greasy boys singing 'I'm a loser baby...' But the slinky grooves sounds good.Bear in mind this is the magazine that also says,on the same page,that "Fly,by the Dixie Chicks is a barnfull of hell-raising honky-tonk" I've never read Maxim but my friend says it's a funny magazine even though it is for boys. ok,yay fun! genevieve ______________________________________________________ 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: sinister: love is lighter than air
by aconover＠optonline.net 28 Nov '99

28 Nov '99

oh, yes, dearies, i love the magnetic fields. no, they're not goth, you've yelled me into submission. but i do love them, oh, yes. i'm going to be directing our high school's student production in the coming weeks... and i've chosen sartre's "no exit". i wanted to do "waiting for godot" but couldn't make hide nor tail of it, so i went for more accesible existentialism. although no exit is only one act, so i might be able to throw in a beckett short like krapp's last tape, even though it is not, upon re-reading, as short as i had thought. and substantially more difficult. oh, dear. carolyn asked me last night if i was attracted to her. in a roundabout way, so she could pretend we weren't having a probing personal conversation. so i told her, i did, i said, "i look at you, and i see things i don't see in..." and apparently this wasn't the answer she was expecting... and i thought it might be a good idea, you see, because why would she ask me this question if it wasn't leading up to something? unfortunately, it was leading up to "i like our relationship the way it is -now-, and i don't need it to be more than that." oh, she's a confusing girl, but it's better than when she hated me. but we will spend next weekend together at our teenage-love- and-understanding retreat, where we will cry together and become close as bugs in a tin of sardines, dear. so that's alright, i suppose. - adam aconover(a)optonline.net Tempus Fugit is at: http://www.i2.i-2000.com/~conover/tempus/main.html +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Read Erica MacArthur's last post...

and discover for yourself what bodpart she mentioned. Isn't there some rule on Sinister that if you mention a bodypart, that bodypart in question must be photographed, scanned and posted to the "Sinister Bodyparts" page or Da Daddy Mac Enforcer will git ya and wreck shop or something? Oh well, I won't hold her to it, but if she shows her bodypart, I'll show my flabby example of it as well. ______________________________________________________ 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".

It's an entirely different song. Motown-ish when they did it at Bowlie, very unlike them, and completely different words from the FM song. oh my dont i look like a dumb arse now? whoopsy! p.s. i got mhe early birthday present.....its the tigermilk l.p. , but not the orginal press though.....oh well it still sounds lovely! angela, from the mecca of elvis fans I.C.Q.#47995388 ______________________________________________________ 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: In a 10 Roddington Lonely Place
by Peter Miller 28 Nov '99

28 Nov '99

I wonder if B&S will be doing cover versions when they tour again? I'd love to see Isobel perform Fela Kuti onstage. I bet Mad Dog Murdoch would too. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the cause of all that guitar smashing business in Dublin. Mind you, it wouldn't be the same without Stuart David looking on. I've been trying to think of other bobble-hatted bass players. The only one I can remember is KEITH from groovy train travelling all together now love sees no colour Liverpudlians The Farm. This afternoon I watched Leicester Tigers on Frenchie telly. Imagine my partial surprise to see my old schoolmate "Dozzer" knocking seven bells of shit out of the opponents. I was quite impressed, he seems to have matured over the fifteen years or so since I last saw him. I think he's a policeman now. I've also been keeping a close eye on the Big Country bulletin board on their website. Relax kids, the inventor of bagpipe guitars is safe and well. Hooray! Their former bus driver still seems very bitter for getting the sack for saying U2 were better than Big Country though. The rest of the fans are like Numanoids in lumberjack shirts. I like Stuart Adamson for those echoing "SHOUT-OUT-OUT-OUT!"s on their early 12 inch records. They were undoubtedly a precursor of the hallucinatory dub effects made popular by King Tubby ten years earlier. I think I'm going to go and put a message of support on their bulletin board. Mr Beaker, how did you teach Oon to swim? By chucking her in the water and then sticking a betting slip on the end of a fishing rod and dangling it just out of reach? Did she have a flutter on that elephants' football match? And is she back on the list? The list without Oon is like a meal without cheese.
