Sinister: Me complaining, and you listening.....
by GetUpGirly＠aol.com 08 Dec '99

Well, I guess now is a good of time as any to start talking....I've been out of the nursery for a good two weeks now, and I haven't sent a message yet. l'm not sure if its because of insecurities or just lack of anything interesting to say, I can't remember. I would tell you about myself except for the fact that I've got nothing going on in my life right now. I'm just a lonely girl in texas that has no friends anymore....When I started writing this e-mail, I had something to say, but now I can't remember. One thing I can say, though, is that B&S are such a wonderful band (I have such a brilliant talent for stating the obvious) and that they have made such an impact in my life, its good to know that music can still do that...Well, I know I'm rambling, and I promise that next time I will have something worthwhile to say, although that may not be for a while. thankyou.

Sinister: like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down.
by Owen Lowery 08 Dec '99

08 Dec '99

hi sinister not sure why I picked that title, it just seemed to fit my mood, I guess I'm looking for a new girl to lay myself down for, an improvement on my giving up on women to be sure....but it's got to be a new one and not the same old girls who are after me. anyway....enough of my private life I know you don't want to hear it. lucy alder complained about a lack of snow....up here in stirling we had some earlier this week...it was nice while it lasted but now it's just a slushy mess which makes the dye in my shoes run into my socks. lucy was also jealous of B&S dreams but last night I didn't have a B&S dream just one about my brother dying. This morning I rang home to see if everything was alright and my mother just thought I was mad. She's probably right but not for the reasons she thinks. God I've just read over what I've written and it sounds so depressing, don't worry I'm fine really....just in a bit of a funny mood. Was listening to if you're feeling sinister this morning and I felt like crying when the boy done wrong again came on, I really don't know why it's just how I felt. going now sorry, Owen, not a narrow wizard, just a skinny ugly cunt. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Very, very little B&S content
by Derek Porter 07 Dec '99

07 Dec '99

Hmmm. Ok, first off, Lola the Embryonic Crusadah's post made me laugh. I think that, for the time being, I love her. There is nothing in the world funnier than people who fall down. Especially unwittingly, due to poorly arranged skateboards. Also, I too have always wondered what's up with the "what's up" greeting. The recipient either says nothing, or gives some smart ass answer. Me: Hey pal, what's up? Them: Nothin' or Me: Hey pal, what's up? Them: The stock market!! (followed by a chuckle and a snort) And more often than not, I don't really give a dry fart. My life today feels very much as if it were being written by someone with a complex. Or maybe a simplex. An example: Me: (on the telephone) I'd like to schedule a UPS pick up this afternoon please. Them: What are you shipping today? Me: A stuffed animal. Them: Have you been made aware of UPS's guidelines regarding the shipping of stuffed animals? Me: (long pause), huh? Them: (repeats question) Me: (another long pause) You have guidelines for shipping stuffed animals? Them: (reads guidelines for shipping stuffed animals) do you have any other questions? Me: (short pause) Um..., no. Can I have someone pick up my shipment today? Them: No sir. We cannot schedule pickups here. Me: (starting to get dizzy) What? Them: You'd have to call 800-blah,blah,blah to schedule a pick-up today. But now it's too late, because that office closed five minutes ago. You'll have to call them tomorrow. (I suppose this would be more pertinent if it were a dog on wheels, but it was only a stuffed deer.) That's mostly how my day has gone so far. I put at least some of the blame on the Sundance Channel for showing Meeting People Is Easy last night. I watched in awe as Radiohead suffered through an oppressive schedule of flashbulbs and microphones and hotel rooms. I remembered seeing their concert in New York City, sitting a stones throw away from Marilyn Manson who, inexplicably, was up in the balcony with the rest of us. The movie was very unsettling, and I spent a good deal of time afterwards sitting on my comfy chair putting on, then removing, a stocking cap that I bought in Wyoming. Then I sat in my bed and learned the chords to Fake Plastic Trees, and then to Judy and the Dream of Horses, and finally to Get Me Away From Here I'm Dying. I should have gone to sleep at that point, but I didn't, and ended up writing in my journal until daybreak, when I sat on my front porch and watched the sunrise and wished that I still smoked cigarettes. Now, sleep deprived and malnourished, my day is resembling a weeklong Mekong Whiskey binge, where I can't quite grasp my fingers around what is transpiring, but it all transpires nonetheless. Since everyone seems to be knitting scarves and mittens now, I thought it might be relevant that I went to see the Knitters last Saturday at the Crocodile. My girlfriend didn't want to go, as she considers the Knitters record to be "hick shit". I've explained it the best I could, but she held her ground, as did the other "friends" I invited, all citing lame excuses as reasons not to go. I think that they mock me when I'm not around. Fuck them. I went and had a great time all by my lonesome. Now I've just read Brad's note, and I don't feel so bad. I'm not bleeding and I'm entirely unconcerned about my wang being unsuitable company for my testicles or my butthole. I think that the amusing anecdotes of my inner thighs keep them all at peace. Which suddenly reminds me of a quote, "Don't be the kind of person who sits around talking about their genitalia." - Hank Hill. I'll not do that anymore. I'm beginning to wonder if I should move to France? Maybe I should just get a dog. The only thing I'm sure of at the moment, is that I ought to avoid crowds. I don't think I could handle a crowd today. My lord. I've re-read this note, and it reads a bit disjointed don't it? If anyone want's to criticize or "sass" me, please do it privately, or behind my back like the rest. I'm off to buy a taco.

Sinister: Come with me, and take a giant step outside your mind...
by Walkn10＠aol.com 07 Dec '99

07 Dec '99

God Bless the Monkees...the Poor Man's Beatles. Speaking of which, today is the 19th anniversary of John Lennon's death, and if anyone has already pointed this out, I apologize. I don't mean to post in such quick succession, but I figured the cadre of Beatle-lovers on the list would find it of interest. Well, that and the fact that they recently uncovered evidence that Pearl Harbour was attacked by submarines as well. I'm not sure what that proves, but the local paper made a big stink about it, so I pass it on. Marie and Holly W.: you're tapes were mailed yesterday, so look for them quite soon.

Sinister: Isobel Found!
by Matthew Hintz 07 Dec '99

07 Dec '99

Glasgow, SCOTLAND (SK)--Cellist for the Brit Award winning band Belle and Sebastian, Isobel Campbell, has been found wandering in the highlands. Her abduction a few months earlier had been blamed on squirrel nationlists upset at her portrayal of woodland life on her album as the Gentle Waves. Her absence had not been remarked upon by friends or bandmates as they thought 'she was having a mood'. Irish American hybrid Elle Zober noticed the departure from the Northwestern US. She alerted the British pop media which gained the interest of former Spice Girl and UN Goodwill Ambasador Geri Halliwell. Geri: "All pop divas must stick together. Diva Power, y'know?'. Friends and neighbors of Ms Zober were shocked and delighted at her friendship and involvement with the band as she had never mentioned it to them before. Geri rallied All Saints, Cher, Celine, etc. to form a raiding party; Isobel was located gnawing on bark somewhere near Dundee. Geri is also releasing a benefit single entitled 'Girls and Squirrels and Girl Squirrels', apparently a frisky Latin number.

Sinister: "Painful" "LAZILY" "Hooky" "squalid" intro
by Tom Lennox 07 Dec '99

07 Dec '99

Hi all. Time to squeeze in another introduction? Go on. Actually I had this lovely introduction all written out nice and proper - lots of references to all your mails and stuff - but now I'm finally able to talk it somehow doesn't feel right to send it. So instead you get this rushed job, speeded up by the painful coldness in this student flat somewhere in Newcastle.... best make sure I start work on my scarf and cardigan later. A little about me: Another student. Studying art here in Newcastle. I painted a pretty little abstract picture for a friends auction the other day and I was quite pleased it made £5... then that damn Ruth Waters got £35 for her painting of a boat (which was CYNICALY and LAZILY painted over the top of a photocopied photograph anyway) so damn this art thing. It was a sailing boat though so I could sorta see why it should be so preciously valued and Ruth is `4real`... so they say. And I aspire to being ace bass player (Hooky like) and songwriter extrodinare. `Salon Kitty` is our groups name, but if anyone can think of anything cool in the way of band names we're still open for ideas. Keep them a little bit brutal and squalid though. And thats about that. No mention of a certain 8 piece group, I know but perhaps if I save my all thoughts on this subject up for bedtime I'll eventually have my special Fox In The Snow dream. Night-night.

Sinister: Today's advent choccie was a snowman
by Alder, Lucy 07 Dec '99

07 Dec '99

Apologies to Erica, not wanting to rub it in or anything, but maybe you should have obeyed your girlie instincts and gone for the Barbie advent calendar instead. Actually, I've been reliably informed that the 101 Dalmations one contains both milk AND white chocolates, so that outdoes both of us, doesn't it? Well, hello and glad tidings to you all! No snow yet, but it's blooming cold outside. Probably a good job that there's no snow because London snows, though romanticised by Suede if I remember correctly, just turn into a horrible poo-brown sludge after a couple of hours. Nonetheless, my nose tingles and glows rosy when I step outside and I'm feeling so festive I'm even considering sending Christmas cards this year. I haven't quite got around to thinking about shopping, but it's no fun unless you leave it until Christmas Eve now, is it? I'm jealous of those of you able to have B&S dreams. I can't dream at all, at least not in this country. I can dream abroad, especially when I'm sleeping high up. Last time I was in Italy, my hotel room was on the fourth floor of a hotel in the old part of Bergamo which is right on top of a high hill (in other words, I was very high up) and I dreamt I was in a kitchen where a kind man was making chocolates. (Could I make up this bit and say it was monsieur Murdoch? No? Oh well). He had big pans full of melted chocolate on the stove and he kept feeding me spoonfuls. And do you know what? I could still taste the chocolate in my mouth when I woke up. That was most enjoyable, I can tell you. I've just read this message back to myself and it sounds a bit posh. Not sure what to make of that. It seems mullet-mania has hit various parts of the media - I've seen three different websites plus numerous magazine articles in the past month. Plus a mullet make-over with that hairdresser bloke on Richard and Judy. He got a couple of housewives and gave them a modern mullet. And very nice they looked too. Am I right in thinking that the Beastie Boys are responsible for these shenanigans? Didn't their magazine have an entire issue devoted to Michael Bolton's ex-haircut of choice? I blame you, Beasties! Right, that's all. I'm cooking cous-cous for friends tonight. Yum and, indeed, yum.

Sinister: dreams induced by B&S
by Angel Blackwell 07 Dec '99

07 Dec '99

I don't usually make it a habit of sleeping but last night was a rare indulgence on my part. IYFS was spinning and then everything became eden like, and serene. But it was too green, like a French surrealist film. Fog everywhere, and the trees had no true form, I just knew there were trees. There were people there as well, but only Isobel was truly discernable, and I'm not sure why. She's the only little beauty that I have a clear picture of right now, and in the mist and greenery, she shone. I don't like dreaming, because as in life, nothing happens. Everything remains in half light and nothing can be seen in it's true form. Or it's about the ocean and water, and that scares me more than anything. I think it's debbie's fault that I dreamt this, as she's the one who gave me a copy of all the B&S videos. Yes I blame her, and I miss her. I will see her on Friday, Stereolab will be here and my birthday will be over. the angel blackwell PS I'm feeling a little adventurous today, I'm gonna scan a photo in of my tattoos...you need some more fleshy bit up to see...heehee. ______________________________________________________ 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".
