Sinister: what do they know anyway?
by sweetie 13 Dec '99

13 Dec '99

hello i watched that s club 7 program. i was feeling ill. and afterwards i felt even worse. i dont think ill do that again. i went to b&s land yesterday, and walking down buchanan st under the lovely blue lights i couldnt help thinking to myself 'half these people walking past me could be listees' and i looked to my right and was most upset to see that the poster store has been closed and is now only online. that made me sad, i liked that shop. i went into tower and virgin and hmv and i looked at cds. and in hmv i bought 3..6..9.. and modern rock song. and they were £4.99 each. and in tower, i was downstairs and i was looking at the listening posts and there was a guy dancing and singing at the end one. so that made me laff. walking down the road this morning, it was very misty. and all the cars were frozen. and i saw a woman pour hot water over her car. and for some reason it made me think of the foreign person that asked for directions yesterday. i was unable to help him, i dont even know where i am headed. dont bring me flowers its not my time anyway +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: 3 years of japanese and this is all I came away with...
by Justin Williams 13 Dec '99

13 Dec '99

WIth a total awareness of just how abusive this is to the list, I believe Japanese for up-the-bum-sex is koncho, or something like that. My friend's girlfriend is japanese, and her and her friends always say koncho then giggle endlessly. I know that it roughly means anal penetration, but with what I don't exactly know...aren't we all enlightened now? Sorry honey...

Sinister: yet another introduction
by t. hennessey 13 Dec '99

13 Dec '99

I've been reading quite a few introductions recently and it's inspired me to finally write one of my own. The name's Ted Hennessey, and I'm a 19 year old college student at the University of Iowa. I've been a huge B&S fan for almost a year and a half now, and I wonder sometimes if I'm the only one in this state that's heard of this great band. I got hooked last year when I picked up TBWTAS, and I have been addicted since. It took me two months to finally pick up their remaining CDs. I also have quite a bit of Spiritualized in my collection, along with Snow Patrol and also the Gentle Waves (which is a sublimely mellow CD). I attended the Stereolab concert here last Wednesday, and they were great, even though Laetitia was sick and her vocals were not in top form. I hear they cancelled a few dates after the concert here. But they were a great live band. Jim O'Rourke put on a great show too. Well, that's about all from me. Cheers to you all! ted +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: wedding tackle monthly
by Jason Andreas 13 Dec '99

13 Dec '99

Oh dear, I hope the subject isn't enforced on Bodyparts... <grins> I am severely pissed off with society because I found a dead guy today, he was at the back of a restaurant and had died of cold and hunger whilst inside all the patrons stuffed themselves. It shouldn't happen, especially at Christmas. I didn't wait until the police arrived, I had to go and cry. Life, eh? hope you're all doing great :) Merry Christmas --Jason "And in the rapture and the charm Came the tranquil and the calm" +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: in the bleak midwinter..
by Ellen Jernström 13 Dec '99

..frosty wind made moan.. christmas has come to sweden. it's lucia today. girls in white nightgowns walk the streets of sweden singing songs, and we're all drinking a warm, cinnamon-tasting wine called glögg, and therefore we're all friendlier and happier and..cozier. i had my first cup for breakfast, now it's time for dinner and it isn't over yet... *grin* this country is really painful to live in this time of year. it's raining but it's freezing and stormy and the sun never rises. b&s and ginger cookies make an excellent team, though. b&s and christmas songs too. i was happy to read the list crush results, finding out i'm number 118. there's obvioulsy _somebody_ out there liking me.. =) lots of glögg for all of you.. /ellen +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: You made me feel I was born again, it's a shame I never grew up again
by ar981611＠student.paisley.ac.uk 13 Dec '99

13 Dec '99

Hello strangers You thought I'd gone didn't you? Actually judging by the amount of "hello, I'm new" posts since I last posted (late 1967, I reckon) none of you even know who the hell I am. Though thanks to Carsick Steve and Rachel Tucker for bigging me up far more than I deserve, which just means this post will be considered shite from more angles than usual. I haven't posted for ages because I couldn't be arsed. But as appears to be tradition, I suppose I should say it's my birthday on Saturday and ask if any of you want to come out for a pint. But I wouldn't abuse the list like that, though I can because I have actual real B&S content some way down the page (well, I mention one of B&S in a bizarre animal-related incident). Read on if you must... Due to the general shittiness of life (having no money, owing money I don't have to people, having to go to Spain for a week with my other and better half) I can't go to Tigermilking. Which is a bit of a shame, since later perusal of the photos from my last London sojourn seem to indicate that a good time was had by all, and I may well have had quite a jolly laugh myself. Damned if I can remember though. I used to be a grunger once. And a fraggler. And a goth (for about a fortnight). And a Brit-popper. And a new romantic. And I wanted to be Madonna. Doesn't *everyone* go through these stages? I think it's perfectly acceptable to want to dress in a way that marks out the kind of music you listen to if you want to identify yourself to "similar" types. I tried, but then I realised I was trying too hard, and everyone disliked me because I seemed a bit desperate to make friends (not true, well, not consciously at any rate - I did actually like the music, even Neds Atomic Dustbin). So now I dress how I like and listen to what I like. But I have nothing at all against people who follow any sort of trend (for want of a better word) as long as they genuinely get something out of it. It's wanky poseurs I can't stand. None of my friends who like Belle and Sebastian look like they like Belle and Sebastian, which is rather nice. And they all drink like motherfuckers, especially that Steve Hewitt. And Heather McDonald. And Sarah Wheeler. And Ally, and Calumn..er, this could take a while. Twee? I think not. Last week at Celtic Park I saw Chris Geddes getting quite literally horse-whipped. By a horse. Well, by its tail. It made *me* laugh. Oh God, the stress has been too much for me. I'm off to lie down. I'll maybe surface again sometime in the Millennium (as the Willennium will see me up in Inverness drinking cheap vodka and trying to avoid the free Runrig concert in the town centre). Until then, happy Christmas to those who celebrate it and happy whatever else to those who don't. Happy New Year to everyone, and don't worry if it's shit as it's not actually the end of the millennium until Dec 31st 2000. Yours pedantically Ailsa xxx PS For those of you interested, I got a letter from Big Gay Stu the other month from Chile where he is wandering about glaciers, talking about smut and fantasising about Mars Bars whilst wearing nasty pants and attempting to seduce all the ladies he can find. He says hello. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: is this a spaguetti?
by Gabriel 13 Dec '99

13 Dec '99

I hope it is not. If it is all right, this the first time that I express myself here. The thing related to B&S that first comes to my mind is that I am gonna try to sell my Pantera's and Exploited's cds to buy the last B&S's. That's really sad. I was just keeping them as a souvenir of the old times. I don't think that I really liked that sort of music. In fact, B&S was one of the first bands to make me feel something more them teenage energy Gabriel +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Flushing my indie credibility down the toilet.
by Brandt Fundak 13 Dec '99

13 Dec '99

Someone mentioned that perhaps some of us fear mentioning some non-indie bands for fear of losing our ultimate twee status. Well, knowing how much being twee and having indie credibility has helped me in the past, here is a list of bands that this Belle and Sebastian fan listens to behind closed doors: The Bee Gees, The Carpenters, Old Elton John (Pre 1980), Jim Croce, The Left Banke, The Raspberries, anything Motown, Patsy Cline, Todd Rundgren, and Cat Stevens. I'd die without albums by these bands. By the way, I'm a bit shocked that I got two list crush votes. It kind of shot my self esteem up, and I would just like to say that would like to marry either of you, whoever you are. Brandt "That lass could use a groundskeeper of her own. Ach!

Sinister: How I make $4000 a day
by stephen hewitt 13 Dec '99

13 Dec '99

Does everyone else get mails with headers like that? I'm almost tempted to reply, but I know it will mean even more spam for the rest of my natural life. "da ba dip ba de be dodo" Due to my life being terminally sad at the moment (of which more in a moment), the highlights of my weekend were: 1. Watching "Have I Got News For You" whilst in the chatroom (go there, it's GRATE) and WIll Self saying "sinister". 2. Watching "The History of the P!O!P! Video" and Seymour Stein was on it. 3. Downloading a spectrum emulator for my PC and realising within 20 seconds that all speccy games were absolutely ARSE. 4. Taking lots of drugs and shagging 10 supermodels at once. maybe. "deee ba de ba do" My plans for the willennium (cheers, nick) have also fallen into disarray following the descision by Cheltenham Borough Council to close the only half decent club in town FOR NO APPARENT REASON THE BASTARDS. Sorry, I'm a little upset, but there is now NOWHERE to go to gigs or have a proper indie dance in Cheltenham. I suppose if I was making $4000 a day I could buy it myself... Nick also said: Did you know that Steven P Morrissey is living with his lovely wife Deborah somewhere in Cheltenham? Well, there used to be a guy everyone called "Fat Mozzer" due to, well, i guess it's pretty self explanatory, I wonder if he changed his name by deed poll.... "do ba dooby dabadooby" Owen said: I GOT A SHAG or words to that effect, which is always nice. Rachel tucker said: what happened to alisa ross? is she still about anywhere? her posts were wicked, i really miss them. Well, when she got me horrendously drunk in Glasgow the other week (oh yes, it was ALL her fault, and that Ally Cook and that Calumn Shearer, pouring it down my neck with a funnel they were, nothing to do with me at all) she seemed fine, but I must agree about her posts. The Trashcan Sinatras are rubbish. There, that might do the trick. "da ba dooby dabadiddum doooooh <chuckle>" Starry sarah just mentioned vomit, which brings me back to reminiscences on Glasgow, but I think we'll leave it there for now.... xoxo CarsmileSteve "hey let's have a snowball fight" =============================O O============================= ==============================@ "ouch, no fair, don't put rocks in yr snowballs" +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
