> can someone out of the kindness of their heart > tell me what the url for the list-crush site is??? I'm sending this to the list becuse lots of people seem to be having trouble finding it. I think the link hidden under 'stuff' or something on the Sinister website. http://www.jeepster.co.uk/cgi-bin/belle/listcrush.cgi Remember - it's supposed to be something nice. Not something for people to worry about. Like charity work, it's best not to talk about it too much. And a culture of multiple voting isn't healthy. It's not supposed to be a beauty contest either. You're supposed to be taking a shine to people's inner being, as expressed through the wit, charm and punctuation of their posts. Or something like that. Course if you look at the the photo page and find your erstwhile heartthrob is a real minger then of course you're entitled to pull out. We're only human. Of flesh and blood we're made. We're only human. Born to make MI-STAAAAKES. What was that? Err - don't reply to the list with the answer to that. I'm a bit bored of the whole listcrush since my pre-slate-wiping heyday when I regularly chomped at Trouser's umm.. trouser legs. If you're upset at being No. 141 in the poll, just try and make a connection with Belle & Sebastian and their chart no-show. This is great for indie snobs of course, but no good for real P!O!P! kids who understand that P!O!P! is ultimately derived from the word 'popular' (now archaic). *They* know that it's best to be Will Smith. Or Erica MacArthur. What was I saying?

Sinister: Conclusive proof that poor people's TV is best
by Nick.Dastoor＠guardian.co.uk 27 Nov '99

27 Nov '99

Look what's on the band's website now: >>We recorded two songs for the TV programme 'The Apocalypse Tube', appearing alongside the likes of Paul McCartney and Robbie Williams. It has already been broadcast on Sky One, when they only showed one of the two songs we recorded, 'The Loneliness of a Middle Distance Runner'. The other song, 'Beyond the Sunrise', the makers assure us, will be shown when the programme is repeated on Channel 4 on 1st January- ie just after the bells at new year- at 1am, finishing 4am. I think it's being shown again on New Year's Day at around 6pm too. >> I am told this Beyond the Sunrise is an 'ambitious' number. What can this mean? Here's hoping it's code for 'full of Eastern promise', with sitars and everything. I have heard that Isobel's a toot fiend. Apparently, she disturbed everyone's peace by running around the chalet like a mad thing screaming "I NEED COKE!!" to anyone who would listen. I'm not making this up. But the person who told me might have been. I only repeat it because it's funny. n. xx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: nose candy

i spent thanksgiving alone. my first ever. i did have a nice thanksgiving spaghetti dinner, though. and then i got into my car to drive around for a while and the fucker wouldn't crank. so i got one of my hippie neighbors to take me to the store and then they gave me some leftover turkey and corn. and then later that night they came over with some more. so now i'm heating up some turkey that i didn't cook and didn't ask for, and it was very sweet of them. i'm gonna have to not speak so poorly of them from now on. then my car wouldn't crank this morning, so it was a thirty minute walk in the rain to work. 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. -brad +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Ben Christophers, Camera Obscura
by Marianne Bratlie 26 Nov '99

26 Nov '99

....went to see Ben Christophers last night, which was great. He`s on a "scandinavia tour", and I suggest that those who live in Sweden,and finds out he`s playing where they live, go see him. I`m not sure where and when he`s playing, but it`s very soon, and probably in Stockholm. (sorry for being so vague..) How has the response to his album been in the UK? Belle and Sebastian...hmm, ok, did you know that there is a norwegian writer who has called his book "tigermelk"? I guess you don`t have to guess twice what this means. Tigermilk? yepp! ...and, Yes, I`ve heard somewhere that it actually is "taken" from the Belle & Seb. album. He wrote the book before tigermilk was re-released ,and I`m not sure if he would have called it tigermelk if he had known this.(well, I have heard that he`s said this as well)(this= album re-release just a few months before his book was due). (guess it didn`t hurt his sale though..) ... ok,I could have been wrong, but I don`t think I was.. (about calling it tigermelk after Belle and seb, but even so, the book IS called tigermelk, and I think it`s quite a funny coincidence then...) ....anyone started it , he was..and I`ve been wondering lately, just who`s gonna save me...(couldn`t help myself after writing the first line..)(Sundays, I kicked a boy.Love this song) ok, that was all I had to say for now, . no, by the way..., I`m wondering if anyone has any Camera Obscura stuff that they could record for me? (..anything ...it seems impossible to get any of their stuff here in the north..) I could send you something in return..., live rec. of Ben. C for instance? take care, xx mb ______________________________________________________ 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 love rubber cement

i just my new magnetic fields record. well, to be precise, i got it a few days ago, but i haven't listened to it much until now. stephen merrit is far more goth than i expected... for some reason, i pictured a short, shaggy fellow with an acoustic guitar, not a scary deep goth man. oh, well, i still like it ok. opinions? has anyone ever heard of the lucksmiths? i've heard good things about them, and they've been compared to b+s, but it's hard to get their albums in the us, i think... (they're aussies) amazon only stocks an import of theirs... i saw nick drake in a commercial. that is, i heard "pink moon" during a car commercial. it wasn't very appropriate, and was cut in a strange place, but it still made me feel nice inside. lizzie was mad, though... she didn't want nicky to be in a car commercial. lizzie is the girl, remember? i'm sure you do, dear. ooh, "smoke and mirrors" is a good song. - adam (the uncapitalized one. heh.) 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".
