Sinister: What. Time for a Cup of Tea, Chaps.
by Erica MacArthur 28 Apr '00

28 Apr '00

Attention! I havent written in a while. Thing is, I caught my own Pussy-cat bow (yes that's pussy CAT Lucy, not just pussy!) round the door handle on my way out a couple of weeks ago and was stuck there until a couple of days ago when a kind young man heard my stifled yelps and helped me to untangle myself. You're supposed to call people who stumble on their noveux long scarves a 'Duncan'. 5 points who knows why. I really fancy Martin Kemp. He's got this twinkle in his eye, and I think he's the sort of sharp that might slip you unmarked notes and tell you to buy yourself something pretty. I'd like that. Ooh, guess what, I just WON tickets to that Belle and Sebastian Question and Answer thing, so, if anyones got any super-rude questions you want me to poke in their directions, you know where to put them. My mailbox, that is. I agree with the whole not-talking-about-the-album-yet idea. I got a copy via my Uncle Donny who is in the Secret Service, and I didn't know whether to even listen to it or not, at first.......but then it was on at our chalet party at ATP and if just felt right. But I'm not trying to tease you, honestly. My doll Hannah always waits until things are released because she thinks it's more exciting that way and I bet it is. Why don't we all gossip about other things instead. Apparently the family over the road from me have misplaced their cat, and there's a note in the window of the Sweet shop which I work in telling of a local 'Sick fiend' who is cutting the heads off people's pets. Personally, I think it's my employer Meanie MOY mincing them up (with her teeth, no less) and putting them in the begian chocolates. I only eat rapped things tested by one of the Paperboys, just to be safe. Jenowl, you know when I was driving that car in your dream? What kind of car was it?

Sinister: There are three kinds of people....
by Jordi Trenzano 01 Jan '00

01 Jan '00

....the answer is at the bottom. Hi, 11++ twee souls. This is just another modern post, to wish a really happy 2000. I wish the best for everybody, including buildings to destroy for Sarah Godzilla and a good job for Sister Disco. If I had a pub or discotheque IŽd rent him as a security guard, shouting at all of those Ricky Martin impersonators that you can find even at the less crappy bar zones from here. Just shouting WhoŽs songs, and they would be gone in a second. Which interview was Genevieve mentioning on her last post ? iŽd love to hear it. Fountainhead wrote a cool ending for his latest post: >stay sinister which is great, no remembering if it has ever been mentioned before. If it was, iŽm sorry, but my memory is not in good conditions lately. well, have a lovely new yearŽs eve everybody. Jordiet Sinistre (There are three kinds of people: the ones who know how to count and the ones who doesnŽt). . .. ... ..... ........ ............ I know it was a bad joke, sorry. ______________________________________________________________ For up-to-the-minute music news, reviews and specials visit http://www.nme.com Get free e-mail (anyname(a)nme.com) now at http://www.nmemail.com The sender of this e-mail is NOT an employee or associate of NME, nme.com or any other IPC magazine. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: i am a millennial whore and a sushi virgin
by Blissxo＠aol.com 31 Dec '99

31 Dec '99

hi sinisterines, it's been forever since i've posted, but i've tried to keep up with all of your ups and downs and sideways movements. forgive me if i'm a little distracted, but there are dancing dragons and chinese opera singers on the teevee. the *new*christmas*teevee*, it is, all 13 inches of it in glorious colour. such is the life of a frugal student. so, what are all the toronto sinisterines doing to celebrate the end of the world? oh, i mean, new year's eve? i wanted to go to milk (www.milkevents.com) but tickets seem to have crept up to $80 without my noticing. poo. so i have a hot date with my teevee and that guy who always does the times square thing. what's his name? chuck something? what i would reallyreally like is a millennium snowglobe. i should be able to find one in some cheesy tourist shop. that's my project for today, then. and if there are toronto kids having little encounters tonight (not of the naked kind, though), do let me know. because i'm positively delightful and would love to show off my new angel tattoo to anyone, interested or otherwise. all my friends have their own couple-oriented plans, and me being a single girl (ahem, you filthily rich bachelors), i seem to have been left out. poo to that also. so email blissxo(a)aol.com, and i may choose to enlighten and enliven your get together (teri? emily? debbie? anyone?). and there's the most bizarre thing on teevee right now, from singapore - a crazy remix of 'livin' la vida loca' combined with traditional singaporean drumming. i think that means it's time for me to move along with my day. enjoy the last day of the year, kids. it's been transcendent. love+kisses, jessicaxo *www.geocities.com/jessicaxo +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: all's well so far...
by Angel Blackwell 31 Dec '99

31 Dec '99

The bad luck has started for me. My work ID badge is now null and void. I couldn't even get into my warehouse this morning...I'm the only wanker who has to work in here today, but it's only a half day. I can crank out my favourite tunes and no one's here to tell me I'm shite. Well, Fiji, New Zealand, and Australia are all well it seems. I heard a coupla celebrations on the radio this morning...I'm all excited now. I wasn't before, but now I'm finally gonna get my hair cut, dyed, and lookin all pretty, like the lil'angel that I am. (even angels get roots you know.) I got a new cardigan to wear tonight, with my "new to me" cords... Hmmm...I wish I could have a big sinister New Years party but it seems most of the little Canucks are paranoid and are not venturing very far. So it's gonna be a big gay New Years instead. I'm not sure what that means, prolly a lot of glitter and gary... TTYL my lil'sinisters...be safe and remember to fill your bathtubs before you go out... the angel blackwell PS Lot's of love out to the 2 d's...becareful and get drunk anyway... ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: ....errrrr....
by diana :) 31 Dec '99

31 Dec '99

.... hmmmmmm...it is almost new years eve here in ol' taron'a and i am struck with a nervous sleepless energy (perhaps from the nic fit that has finally hit me from no ciggies for the past 5 days) that has got me out and writing again... hmmmmmm...i hate when my mind races and thinks of all these silly things that keep me up all night...i can't help but wonder if y2k is really the end of the world then which time zone will signal the end?? i have been frustrating over this stupid question for way too long...i mean...i envision doing the count down and as the ball drops at the final 'happy new year' the heavens open and god comes down and starts the sortin'...what if it happens when the first country's hand's strike 12...man, i would feel so gyped...i'll be caught off gaurd and be dancing around in my underwear to dog on wheels or something...how embarassing... hmmmmmm...for new years eve i think i want to stand infront of hmv... i mean, if there is going to be mass looting here in toronto i want first dibs on all the goodies... well...off to try to find a nice outfit to die in... :)diana (not the one that tries to redefine the sex-laws...however, i did have an embarassing meeting a fellow belle and sebastian fan while tring to purchase a quite embarassing gag christmas gift off of him at some sex shop here in toronto...some how shuffling your feet and going 'i swear, it's for a friend' is not very convincing...aren't you glad you read down to the bottom??) www.chickpages.com/musicmania/miss_modular/index.html ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister:Beavers
by Molly Due 31 Dec '99

31 Dec '99

Hello everyone in sinister land. I was just thinking about the word beaver today. My aunt owns a house on a street called Beaver and she would often ask me to mow the lawn there. We would have conversions like this. Aunt: Molly, can you cut Beaver today. Me: Um, I can't cut Beaver today. It's okay if I cut Beaver tomorrow? Aunt: Okay make sure you cut Beaver tomorrow cause it really needs it. and other such humourous exchanges regarding Beaver and its being mowed. I don't cut Beaver anymore. I hope those of you across the pond know the naughty definition of beaver. If you don't then this is quite boring. It's probably pretty boring anyway. Sorry, this is my first time, please be gentle. One more thing I wanted to say. I was just reading the New York Times on the web. I was reading the article about the stabbing of George Harrison. Something about it particularly intersested me. It is as follows: "Following standard British practice, the police would not release the name of the suspect or give details about the investigation. But they did say that the incident appeared far more "sinister" than a simple break-in." Mmmmm, okay well nothing to say about that. Thanks for sticking around and hope you have a beaverific New Year. Molly Due __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!

Sinister: lets tell everyone were in that crazy mood
by Genevieve Wesley 31 Dec '99

31 Dec '99

Hello my little troopers! If Sister Disco is poking around for big,fat,juicy job offers...I want a piece of the pie as well.Lay it on the line for me...the job market in Scotland...show me the job offers in Scotland...don't tell me it's driving buses... I have been listening to the tapes my lovely tape fairy whom I love (and wish I could only repay in generosity and kindness) sends to me and I have a whole new favourite song...The Lonlieness Of The Middle Distance Runner.It's quite the windswept song isn't it? I mean MMMMM Stuart SING IT SING IT SING IT and that guitar solo..who is that? I was a Middle Distance Runner you know,well I was long distance..cross country.I think they are the same.I used to stuff peanut butter down my throat just before the race to give me energy.Stuart is a track and field star,did you know that? He had the little satin shorties and everything and he would ask to be driven to the track at 4 am every morning just so he could train.Hands gripping the desk...beads of sweat forming on those 1000 sinister brows at that image,I know. I've also discovered I like a lot of the same music as the members of B&S. I like Stuart David's contribtion..Tom Waits? Its just a crazy ass tune but its so cool.It's got this bizarre singing but it makes me feel connected to Stuart David and I dig my feet into the ground and go TRIBAL.The song Isobel chose was called "Little Green Apples" and when she spoke she sounded about 5 years old. 1...2...3...Awwww.Isnt it so cute? Oh INDEED.Sometimes I thinkIsobel is the 'Rose Is Rose' comic manifested. I am also a bit curious over the "sweets being thrown at me for encouragement" I think Isobel is a bit pervy. I also never realised what a sexy voice Sarah Martin has..really..she doesn't sound little..its got lovely scratchy factor and non-squeaky I mean I've heard her do little singy bits I guess..she should do some spoken stuff.I'd like to listen to her tell stories. I guess you'll all be drunk by this time tomorrow evening.Happy New Years,anyways.Me,I am hoping personally that when the clock strikes 12, POOF! We will all be wearing little silver space suits and walking robo dogs,just like how its supposed to be.If not..we can always go back to our roots.What are you thinking of? Do you have some lovely images? Me..I am thinking I am a lost girl,in a tattered dress.Searching..searching through the thick of the forest..I am thinking cold,arctic winds and bare feet...and caves...dark caves...but its ok..because Struan and co. are there.They caught on some driftwood.Struan has been gathering berries in his apron...little huts stitched together out of palm trees and little monkeys in hula skirts as our personal butlers. take care my pretties! christmas kisses...genevieve ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

i'm popping out of lurksville to wish you all the very best for whatever wonders the future holds. maybe tomorrow will be just another day, or maybe we're about to see changes, for better or for worse, in people all around the world. even a hardened cynic like myself has to cling to the faint notion that y2k might really mean something. stay sinister. f. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Ha..hmm
by JENOWL22＠aol.com 30 Dec '99

30 Dec '99

Happy holidays 'n' all that. Christmas was good. I got a video of Warriors, which has Ioan Gruffudd in it, who I am going to marry. I also got a scanner which won't bluddy work. BUt I got to wear a ballgown. My gran got very drunk, and ended up comatose in the hall with her skirt round her head. FUN! I had to pick her up. EVEN FUNNER! Her teeth fell out on me. GOD HOW MUCH FUN CAN I TAKE?!?! In case you didn't notice, there was a slight hint of sarcasm there. I was at a sleepover the other night (yeh yeh, again). This time I woke up with "sex", "sucky", "blow job" and various other obscenities written on me in purple glittery lipstick, which wouldn't come off, without the aid of a bluddy nailbrush. Ouch. Has anyone noticed that bloody looks so much nicer spelt bluddy? All these kids (well, about three really) came round from my friend's neighbours, and I played them "May God protect your home" by hefner, which was a very evil thing to do, because it's a bit rude. I hope they don't go and sing it to their parents. One of them liked it. I got a Smiths CD yesterday with my christmas money. It's dead good. and it has 24 tracks on it, which is a world record for big CD's as far as I'm concerned. Not that I am. BBC 2's doing a Gregory Peck season. Gregory Peck is sex on legs. I wonder if they'll show Hornblower. Why do I always fancy guys who've been in Hornblower? Gregory Peck's nice though. I was meant to be going to see the Amphetameanies with Jason, on Hogmanay, but it's 18+ so instead I'm going to my friend's house to have babycham drinking contests, and hopefully get to see her do drunken silly things. This time, I'll have a camera. :::evil laugh::: Christmas is a good time to be immature. I'm knitting a quilt. I was reading a story about cannibalism in the Sinister midight library, and it's really really good, and I was thinking about it all day today, but I've forgot who wrote it. Anyway props to them cos it's good. Wouldn't it be great of Belle and Sebastian did a hogmany gig? Though knowing my luck it would be 18+. I'd better go now because this post is long and crap and not very B&S-y. Lots of festive love and hugs Jen +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
