Sinister:MR courageous ODB,you gotta recognize he's a P.I.M.P,and rodent death.
by Jul09＠aol.com 15 Dec '99

15 Dec '99

Hello all.. thank you mr steve kado for inspiring the subject line...for some unknown reason just about everyone i know has been listening to massive amounts of ODB lately, myself included...there is just something about turning the volume all the way up, while dirnking some mysterious strawberry blonde lager, and sitting out in the bitter cold on a balcony being bundled up in hats and mittens... and then once your nose has become to cold to continue inhaling, and you decide to venture in, you realize just how thankful you are for the railing thats been so perfectly placed by your side, considering that the odds are with out it you would have helplessly tumbled down to your death as a result of total intoxication...i'm sure someone out there spends their weekends in a similar fashion... well , i thought i would throw you my own sad sob story of dying rodents and such...well i must have been about 8 years old when i went to the store with my dad and picked out Theodore, bringing him home all snug in a little brown bag...Teddy, as i fondly called him, was the greatest hamster , he ran himself around in circles on that silver wheel unlike any other...he was tops, running nonstop like no hamster had run before..and thats when it happened, Thanksgiving day, there was about 8 inches of snow on the ground...i go to feed my beloved, and there he was, my Teddy dead, and the killer in the cage with him..the silver wheel had done him in...poor little theodore was hanging from one leg upside down from his miniature hamster excercise equiptment...so i had no choice but to go out and burry him beneath the freshly fallen snowflakes...ah it was a mess oh, even though i never post, this may be my third time , i do know better then to post without including any B&S content, so i just thought i would share how strange it is to be greeted each day by this little voice chanting at me"ohh get my away from here i'm dying" seeing that i attend school with a bunch of pretentious preppy assholes, its nice to have finally after three years found a fellow fan who must also spend the better part of his day uner the same roof as me. anyway, most of you have no idea who i am, and will probably forget me soon after you read this, that is IF you have read this, because on this list i'm nothing but an observer..i just sorta assumed that to be my position some time ago, and have become quite comfortable with it, so dont expect me to venture out from my content hiding place all that often(not assuming that any of you would want me to) i just try to absorb and filter everything that is thrown my way...always remembering that most of you, if not all of you, are wonderful ladies and gents, and its never too late to learn a thing or two... adieu peu ceux Julia PS oh and Arantxa, i believe it was you who said you wanted to hear SONGS for DONKEYS it was just brought to my attention last night during a conversation with my favorite sinister member that there is a XMAS song titled Dominic the Donkey..i hear its quite amusing, complete with donkey sounds and all...so if you happen to live anywhere near NY(i think listening to it is part of their xmas tadtition) you might enjoy it.. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: de Quincey Shines In My Mind's Eye
by David Moore 15 Dec '99

15 Dec '99

Hi Felt T-shirt Wearers, Stephen (nowadays apparently regularly De-)Troussé wrote: "Denim news: It's been too long since we last heard from Lawrence-out-of-Denim......... Apparently his new band is called Go-Kart Mozart and the forthcoming record includes tributes to Um-Bongo ("they drink it in the Congo") and Wendy James" According to the bastards from Select the elpee is called Instant Wig-Wam And Igloo Mixture & is on West Midlands Records. "I can hear Peter Miller salivating from here." I thought this process was normally sound-free? I do hope The Enforcer applies his rules without fear or favour, as I reckon Her Royal Stickiness owes about six photies to the bodybits page after that last newtered mail. Oh, & Honey, I give up. Neither Sally or I can name that "Tune" you shared with us for the Swedish Cellphone. Well done to Mr Robertson for adulterating that idiot Moyles' pint. Shame he couldn't have pissed in it though, in retribution to what he does to our airwaves.

Sinister: Bastardised Littlest Hobo
by Tom Lennox 14 Dec '99

14 Dec '99

Reading about the sad deaths of other's newts and men in cafes was distressing, but the talk of Thurston the dead hamster brought back old tears. My little rodents are all dead now bless them but the vision of Hammy Biggles little, snow-white corpse next to his (favourite) red wheel still sticks in my mind - 2 huge worms, each more than twice the length of him were crawling out of his eye holes and rear end. To think that all that while they'd been eating away inside of him and he suffered in snuffling silence. Incidently we buried the hamster next to the dead cat so there was no repeat of Erica's Bazil on the doormat tale. Next day in school all the other children laughed at me when I broke down in the middle of an English presentation. CHILDREN - saying that in the last sentance makes me feel old, like I'm the Werther's Originals grandad telling my Sinister grandkids about the golden days when Curly Wurlys were bigger and the choclate snapped off them.... and they were I tell you. Oh childhood ... ramble ... ramble ... in Uni today `everybodies` favourite DJ painter was singing 2 lines of the theme to The Littlest Hobo wrongly repeatedly. Do you know how annoying that is to have someone you don't talk to due to pure malice repeat thinks again and again and you know he's wrong but you can't say anything so you hold it all up inside you as resentment and then you just want to hit his stupid hippity-hopping cheeks with a pair of pliars (I have the pliars) again and again and again for ever time he defiled the Hobo pup. I felt like my childhood was being bastardised - that was the sorta point of this bit. Sorry for digressing. Anger and pure aggression - always nice to slip a bit of it to the Twee Kingdom. And I had a Bob Dylan dream and a dream about kissing a girl as I hung out of a car and she drove it off a cliff and into the sea and all the blood coming out of me as I was dragged down the cliff face was just such a turn on. So I'm getting ready for a B&S wet dream any day now I reckon. Ah-ha I mentioned B&S just once so that means I can get away with one list abuse in return. Just a quick one: Anybody know anything interesting about the cartoonist Ralph Steadman (he of Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas fame) if so please mail it me and make my dissertation a communal effort in the process. Thanks. The History of The Pop Video. Apparantly it's all because of Weird Al. Play safe all love Tom +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: a vision of love, wearing boxing gloves, and singing hearts and flowers.
by Paula Cullen 14 Dec '99

Shite. shit, shit, shit, shit, Shite. calumn has thrown the poetry parrot at me :( i dont really *like* poetry very much. i dont think i even *know* any poetry. in fact, here in Booze HQ, that cuntin' poetry parrot is about as welcome as a fart in a spacesuit. but i dont want to break time-honoured tradition (or whatever) so here goes: ****************************************************** a poem about drinking by purple ronnie. some people never stop drinking they just keep on filling their glass their face goes all smiley and wobbly and red and then they fall down on their arse. ****************************************************** sorry. anyway, i think i've taken up quite enough of your time as it is, so i'm off like a mouldy yoghurt. you'll notice (you probably wont, but, y'know, whatever) that my sig. file is gone. this is because i cleverly deleted EVERYTHING off my hard disk last week. by accident. obviously. so, to mark a new era, starting from stratch, i'm thinking of changing my name. how about Paula Cullen Shoes Explosion? ( i do have in excess of 100 pairs after all...) or Paula Cullen Poos Explosion? groo. suggestions on a pair of teenage boys underpants (what? did i say that?) to p.cullen(a)music-control.com. oh yeah, i command that cuntin' parrot to piss richard healey off now. yay! paulie. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Thought forms in the mouth
by Michael Jones 14 Dec '99

14 Dec '99

Hello saucy, Stevie T, with the fractured recall of a man wrecked by prescription drugs, uttered the following: > I first met Mike in > Antwerp in 1989 when I was sent to cover the shooting of "Anti- > Oedipus!" Oh, Stevie. You and I both know it was six months earlier at that Brother Beyond PA in Shepshed. I was in charge of greasing the mic-stands and you were looking after the Jaffa Cakes. You - resplendent in Chase Me beret and olive tank-top, me - nervous in my bubble-perm and Morgan Fairchild-emblazoned Parka. The BBs did their stuff, we zipped up the body-bags together and stumbled into the East Midlands night. It was well past 10 oclock when we parted, three and a half tumblers of cherry brandy down the line... With a look precisely half-way between utter vacancy and shrieking sexual confusion, you clasped my shoulder just as my cab rolled up and whispered in my ear: "This time next year, Rodders - well be willionaires". To this day, Im haunted by that phrase. And the ghost of Arthur Askey. > Mike was later awarded the highly-coveted Golden Phenome > prize by Gothenburg's "Planckspenker" magazine, for his contribution > to cinematic esoterrorism. Hrmph. An incomplete Esso 78 World Cup commemorative coin set (*no* Arie Haan, *no* Dominique Rocheteau), a bag (family, shop-soiled) of fun-size Toffee Crisps and a voucher to have any blood relative remixed by Front 242. That lay unredeemed in a desk drawer well past its expiry date, natch. Whats wrong with plain vanilla, unreconstructed CASH for Gods sake ? Sub-particulate audio-toxicity - its a mugs game. Next time - how I met Tim Hopkins in a Southend guest-house in 83; he a billiards hustler with a growing interest in Islam and a customised moped, me fresh outta chokey with a body full obruises and a brain full oMatt Bianco. P!O!P!, arson and a change in Catholic doctrine ensued. St<d> M<k> __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Thousands of Stores. Millions of Products. All in one place.

Sinister: Simon Barsinister
by Alexander Borgia 14 Dec '99

14 Dec '99

Greetings listees, welcome to my first post. Please feel free to delete this unread should the urge strike you. I guess I should introduce myself, but first a description....I am a cross between a troll and a red blanket, four feet eleven inches tall, with a hunched back, a large nose and one really long eyebrow which traverses my entire forehead. I had one tooth but it feel out when I was trying to chew open the cellophane covering my pack of smokes. B&S content.....ooooh I have oodles. (this is the part where YOU say, "oooh get me away from here I'm dying") But first, I promise never to go for the tall elegant rich kids....I just want all the girls to know that. If you break down Simon Barsinister in Hebrew, it actually means Simon Son of Sinister, I guess sort of like Simon McSinister, or Simon O'Sinister, or Simon Sinisterson. Boy those Underdog cartoon people were well advanced musically. Bad news folks, last weekend I took "The Major" to see Grandma and Grandpa (very far away) and I was sort of stumped as to how I was going to last an entire weekend without any B&S. So I took along Tigermilk. The Major likes listening to Tigermilk when he goes to sleep. For those who would like to know more about The Major, list mummy has a pic of him to post, he is going to be 8 years old on December 30. Well, it seems like I forgot the cd in the tray and now Grandpa has my Tigermilk cd. Knowing the musical tastes of Grandpa, I don't expect to ever see it again. B&S Dreams.....at first I never expected to actually have a dream about B&S, but yet, it did happen. For those living in the Toronto area, my dream was that they were coming to Toronto to play. This was a good thing, except that I wasn't able to get tickets. This was easily overcome when I met up with Mick and we hung out together before the concert and he got me a backstage pass. The only thing I can't figure out was why Mick was dressed like Gene Simmons. Don't get me wrong, he looked cool in the outfit with the cape, but it just seemed weird that he would be dressed that way in Toronto's subway system. I'm taking the dream as a premonition that B&S will be coming to Toronto. Stupid bit..... I heard Brilliant Career before I heard Boy Done Wrong Again.....I thought TBWTAS came out before IYFS....so at the end of the song BDWA...I am reminded of Jeff Bridges in Thunderbolt and Lightfoot towards the end of the movie when he is having stroke symptoms and I though there was a connection...... Pictures.....no longer does anyone have the excuse not to have their pictures scanned since I am offering free scanning services to those who wish. You can mail your photos to me at: Alexander Borgia PO Box 33528 50 Dundurn St Hamilton, Ontario Canada L8P 4X4 I will return your pictures to you after I have scanned them, I will not send the scanned images to anyone except the sender, and discretion is completely assured. (It's one of those things I will stake my professional reputation on) For those who have mention the lovely Miss Bush.....God put Kate Bush on the earth so that we could hear what He hears when the angels talk to Him. Then he discovered that not enough people were paying attention so he sent us Isobel. Bye kids....

Sinister: While I laughed I wondered whether I could wave goodbye...
by Alasdair Cook MC1996 14 Dec '99

14 Dec '99

G'day, hipsters. I'm still looking for the hidden message in Archel's snowflakes. I'm pretty sure that if you rearrange three flakes, turn it upside down and hold it up to a mirror it spells out "Isobel Campbell is dead" in Arabic. Can anyone verify this? At last, some proper cold! You know, brass monkeys freeze your delicates off cold. With fog. And snow. Beautiful, Bernard. It's enough to make one write to the BBC urging them to show The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe again. Mmmmm, Turkish Delight. Leaky talked about making mobile phones play B&S tunes. If I had a mobile phone (which I don't, because they FRY YOUR BRAIN), the first thing I'd do would be to make it play the theme tune from Terry and June. Do do do do do do do do do do do dooo doo doo. Joooooooon! Lauren: > i hate > it when people wear glasses when they dont even need them and are just trying > to look cool. that pisses me off!) Step forward Mr Lowery, you cheatin' varmint. No wonder he's so blummin successful wid the birds. Colleen: > my primate friend turned > me on to B&S about uhh hmm a year ago You have a friend who's a monkey? And he listens to B&S? Are B&S a monkey-friendly band? Do orangutangs swing through the treetops with Sinister on their minidisc players? I mean obviously Looper are monkey-influenced, their album being called Up A Tree and all, but does Struan write songs specifically for gorillas? As most people know, monkeys are traditionally Fleetwood Mac fans, what with Stevie Nicks being a chimpanzee in disguise, so getting them to like fey indie pop is harder than you may think. However I'm willing to believe that B&S could have a "cult monkey" following, and a new generation of monkeys are making Murdoch's mob THEIR band. The next time you see a monkey in the rain forest or down the pub, look very closely at their chests and I'll bet you'll see a B&S badge in amongst the matted hair and parasites. Angel: > I only use silly fake names because my parents named me after a certain > cartoon character and that name always comes across as more made up.... It's "The Hooded Claw" Blackwell, isn't it? I really hope so. Jenny H: > actually, my old primary teacher was called Miss Honey, like in > Matilda and all that, and she was really nice and lovely and always made > sure our milk wasn't warm and things.ok , so i feel a childhood regression > coming on......in any case, i'm betting a sweetie necklace and seven shiny > glass marbles that he (master mitchell) doesn't look anything like my miss > honey.... Well, apart from the girly haircut...(how to commit list suicide in one easy step - try it kids). Martin: > I've decided to invent a new musical genre for the next > century. That being: Gangster Indiepop. Hasn't Harvey Williams being planning to record gangsta rap versions of all the Another Sunny Day records? I believe Hopkins is the expert on this, if only to get him to post again. And he has the opportunity to bang on about Exeter's battling nothing each draw with the might Toffees, if he so chooses. Oh, and The Pixies are still good. Tricky: > > Why doesn't Steady Mike win some kind of prize? I think someone has to invent something that's good enough first. Get to work, people. Rachel T: > and no lee&herring hobby guy ideas!! what was that > guy's name? Simon Quinlag, I think. Drink your weak lemon drink.............now. God, I sound like a student. Shit, I am. Clarke: > The other day I had a Sinister-ish dream. Tim Hopkins was in it. We went to the > pub. But then Tim started shouting going "We're not going to this fucking > over-crowded commerical pub, let me take you to a real boozer", and he led us > to a place where the main attraction was that when you went in, the staff > handed you rubber truncheons, and you could beat up as many police-people as > you wanted, for the price of a pint!! Crackin'! And one policeman was naked. > Urgh. The others were fully uniformed. Honey was there, sneaking peeks. Which is strange, beacuse that's EXACTLY what happened the last time I was in London. Except Honey wasn't there, unfortunately. Thora Hird was, though. You should see some of the things that woman can do with a rubber truncheon. I ask you. Angel again: > My friends Diana and Debbie were out last night at a little P!O!P! night and > they looked like they had fun. Debbie even danced last night. We are talking about Debbie Spiers here, aren't we? I'm sorry, monkeys listening to Belle & Sebastian I can accept, but you're winding me up with this one. Lucy: > Funny Batter. Is saying something which is almost rude actually ruder than saying something which is actually rude? Probably. But she also said: > Time to give my digits a rest, methinks. Which is just plain disgusting. Should be ashamed of herself, that one. Orbitat said, about Snow Patrol: > stay as far away as possible, so you dont get > infected with this ugly disease like i did. Blimey, that's a bit harsh. I've heard bands described as ugly (have you SEEN The Barenaked Ladies?), but a disease is going a bit far. Unless of course they've let horrible rats pee all over the cds before distributing them. If this is the case I apologize and wish you a speedy recovery. Also on The History Of The POP Video was a bout half a second on FunkySeb's historic Moby video appearance, which I saw for the first time. I was duly impressed by the man, especially after missing the spectacle of his dancing abilities at Bowlie. Trousse: > it's been too long since we last heard from > Lawrence-out-of-Denim, but I have it on very good authority (ie Tim from > Baxendale, who's just been recording in the same studio) that he's about to > stun us all with the greatest come-back since Lazarus. Apparently his new > band is called Go-Kart Mozart and the forthcoming record includes tributes > to Um-Bongo ("they drink it in the Congo") and Wendy James. I can hear Peter > Miller salivating from here. True enough, as I almost bought it today but didn't cos it was about 13 or 14 quid, far too much for a poor person like me to spend on one cd. Instead I spent 24 quid on lots of cheapo second hand stuff, which will probably result in more fun in the long term. However I may purchase Mr Lawrence's album sometime in the future. There's also a rather amusing review in Tag Mag Uncut this month, penned by none other than Bob "he's in St Etienne, you know" Stanley. Lastly, a very happy birthday to Mr Stevie for tomorrow, who's not old, he's just nicely matured like a stinking piece of cheese. May Cliff have mercy on your soul. Goodbye. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

As long as the music is produced, I think that's the main thing. I think that things are happening all over Scotland. These initiatives that happen, the underground,just keep at it, you know what you're doing is good. The major guys, the major labels, are in trouble.

Sinister: if all the cupid's arrows which had passed through her heart...
by Archel1978＠aol.com 14 Dec '99

14 Dec '99

... were sticking out of her body, she would look like a porcupine. thank you b.b. and that is all i have to say on the subject of lurve, because let's face it it's kind of dull unless you're actually up to your pink little ears in it. so, restraint from me. i'm glad i'm not one of the filthy listees who is going out with another listee, cos then you can't slag off your partner on sinister. well, you can, but it's a much more politically relevant act. gabriel is selling old cds to buy b&s. i sold some cds for the first time in my life (to the purveyor of glasgow gangster funk in fact) the other day to fund christmas. but i only got a tenner so i hope my family will like products from the local 50p shop. funny, i can contemplate selling cds with much more equilibrium than selling books. i just love my books too much, even the crap ones. they look so colourful and pretty and wise lined up on the shelves. that history of the pop video was a treasure trove of information. keanu reeves appeared in a paula abdul video. janet jackson once wore a costume adorned with cock rings. seymour stein is a big grey capitalist. oh, we knew that already. owen foolishly said: ah the value of not owning a scanner it means you lot don't know what I look like and can imagine me however you like. (it also means that I can mention my PENIS on the list and the enforcer can't get me to send a pic to the bodyparts page). that kind of smugness is just asking for trouble - i'm sure there's a queue of people willing to provide a scanning service and prove just how narrow the wizard really is... sorry, sorry. that was far too smutty even for me, and probably downright offensive. must be the festive season. b&s magic moment: i'd almost forgotten just how gorgeous struan's voice is, until a quiet moment and 'beautiful' coincided and made my ears feel like the most privileged body parts in the world. it's like taking a friend for granted and then they do something great and you remember why you love them. (oops, i think i now owe honey ears, fingers and several pairs of bosoms.) luv archel xxx ******* 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: The Final Countdown
by stephen troussé 14 Dec '99

14 Dec '99

X Old Nick Deathsdoor muttered: "why doesn't someone give Steadymike some kind of prize?" Oh, but they have, Nick, they have. In fact, I first met Mike in Antwerp in 1989 when I was sent to cover the shooting of "Anti-Oedipus!", the Lionel Bart musical adaptation of Deleuze and Guattari's schizoanalytic classic. One of the leading lights of the Belgian moog-gazing scene, Mike had been hired to provide "rhizoliminal digi-glitch" on the soundtrack. Despite falling out with the director (a youthful Alec Empire) before the film's completion, Mike was later awarded the highly-coveted Golden Phenome prize by Gothenburg's "Planckspenker" magazine, for his contribution to cinematic esoterrorism. IX I wonder if anyone has taken Stewpot up on his plaintive offer to help people with their problems. I ask, because it looks like he's being left behind in the popstar Agony Aunt stakes by Scandi-pop weirdnik Stina Nordenstam. If you go to her website (http://www.nordenstam.com) after navigating through a Borgesian cyber-labyrinth, you end up at a dialogue page where you can ask lickle Stina questions, and she replies to them in her own eccentric ice-pixie fashion. It's all very sweet. VIII I say! Have I been smoking crack again, or did Honey say he imagined Jason Andreas' old chap to be like a shrivelled-up newt? VII Thai news: "A dream holiday in a sunflower field in Lop Buri turned into nightmare for a young female tourist who ran into an attack from an army of bees". (Bangkok Post, 13 December 1999). VI Watchauptoo this Friday, then? If you're in London Town, why not come along to Covent Garden's seminal Poetry Cafe and dig da new soundz of The Pines (featuring Pam "She's a little bit country" Berry and Joe "He's a little bit rock and roll" Brooker) and Harvey Williams vs Josh Gennet? You also get to see me do my Paxman impression ("hurry up!") in the exciting new quiz game, Sinister Challenge. Contact me via that there tapetty lightbox for further details. V Forget your Blair Witch Projects, your Sixth Senses and your Funkyseb in the BT ad, the scariest thing I've seen all year is that creepy-looking woman who sings with the Wamdue Project. But what on earth is she going on about? "Must be a reason why I'm free in my trestle?" "Must be a reason why I'm free to mud wrestle?". Or what? IV Are you doing anything on Tuesday 21st of December, then? Cos that lovely Baxendale band are playing at the Betsey Trotwood pub in Farringdon. Ask me nicely for more details. III Denim news: It's been too long since we last heard from Lawrence-out-of-Denim, but I have it on very good authority (ie Tim from Baxendale, who's just been recording in the same studio) that he's about to stun us all with the greatest come-back since Lazarus. Apparently his new band is called Go-Kart Mozart and the forthcoming record includes tributes to Um-Bongo ("they drink it in the Congo") and Wendy James. I can hear Peter Miller salivating from here. II Talking of Peter Miller, anyone expecting a copy of papercuts should receive it before xmas. I'm sorry about the delay, but I am very lazy. Incidentally, Peter, I just had a gander at your website (http://www.perpetualocean.com/bio.html) and it's very impressive. Do you have any copies of "Gremlins of the Clouds" for sale? I They showed Logan's Run on telly the other day, just to rub in the fact that I will be 30 tomorrow. Flowers, condolences, etc to the usual address, please.
