Sinister: three for the road
by BradWhiddon＠aol.com 03 Dec '99

so i'm sitting at home with my roommate last night and this friend of the girl he's seeing who happens to be a stripper came by to pick him up to take him over to the girl he's seeing's house. the girl who picked him up was beautiful.....and a stripper. so i get a call later that night from the stripper telling me to come on over cause they're playing strip poker and drinking and that she wanted me. now, no stripper has ever wanted me before to my knowledge, so i just laughed it off and figured they were prank calling. two hours later my roommate calls me up and asks me why i didn't come over. i told him i would've looked like a total knob walking in with everyone laughing at me. but then he told me that he had just done the whole menage a tois thing with them and she wasn't joking and i could've bedded down with a beautiful stripper if i wasn't so damn cynical. two hours later i get another call. they were waiting on pizza and my roommate decided to call me up again. "we just did it again, man" he says.....and i hung up on him. now, i know people usually write in about buses and foxes and crushes, but it fucking sucks to sit here knowing what i missed out on. and i'm mad. wouldn't you be? -brad +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Tricky connections
by Arantxa Sanz 03 Dec '99

03 Dec '99

'Beyond the sunrise' sounds like the one with the Sihtar,no mistake.Maybe in the hidden part of The Tube,that's it,the carriages we have not seen yet,it is George Harrison instead of Paul McCartney the special guest and he sings with Stu David. And this latter stops looking sheepish and playing his bass in Coventry to show his true nature, wearing socks and sandals and purple embroidered waistcoats. I am going to take the Streets tomorrow! Do you remember that fuss about berets,Revolution and Struan?Just a few days later I read a review on how to become a professional revolutionary : first step ,to be based on Britain or Switzerland, the two countries where professional revolutions are more unlikely to start. So here we are.And wear berets and flamboyant facial hair. No facial hair around, and lost my rabbit-ear hat, what can I do ? I have been singing that VU chorus, totally uncool-physicistly while preparing my talk on 'How Scaling is the Key' and I just leave you know to impress our research group. A las barricadas! But after a bath (together???)

Sinister: i smell like her cigarettes
by aconover＠optonline.net 03 Dec '99

03 Dec '99

going off to a retreat tomorrow... absolutely idyllic. everyone loves me, everyone cares, everyone picks me peaches and pears... and there will be a nice girl there, and maybe she will cry, and let out her pain. i smell like her cigarettes. lizzie still thinks that "study" is a noun on the study at stow t- shirt. as in, they did a study of belle and sebastian at stow. i said that that doesn't make sense and is gramatically incorrect, and it would be so much simpler as an imperative verb, as in, "you should go study at stow, because belle and sebastian will be there and you can study with them!" but she said, "well, go ask the sinister list." so i'm asking. i'm copying tigermilk and some eps onto a tape to listen to in the car tomorrow. i think the girl likes them. oh, and does anyone have copies of the nick drake boots? (the tanworth-in-arden tape, or the other, more complete one)... i need it to give as a present. i love you! - adam 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".

Sinister: at least that's what we say we are doing
by Owen Lowery 03 Dec '99

03 Dec '99

hello hello hello not sure if you'll get this 'cos my mail system has gone tits up again and I'm having to use a different one. I'm not even the narrow wizard now...I think it's just my real name but oh well. just a brief storry about something that happened yesterday. I was walking round the wonderful Stirling University (thats a joke by the way) when a CD stall which turns up on campus every thursday appeared to be calling me. I wandered over and started flicking through the B section when I came across a bootleg of the paris gig with a lovely picture of Stu M on the front. Not having a recording of this gig I bought the CD which was called Seeing Other People for the rather outrageous sum of 12 pounds. Obviously I put it straight on when I got back to my wooden hut and was greeted by a rather nice version of the boy done wrong again. Near the end of the song though a girl I quite like came round to see if I wanted her to cook for me (silly question really) and so we were going to go round to hers and then she noticed that I had a new CD. "Bring it with you." she said. This is when things started going wrong, very wrong. I hit eject on the CD player and the drawer opened half way and then got stuck with not a CD in sight. So instead of spending some time listening to great music while someone cooked for me I was forced to run to my friends place in order to borrow a screwdriver and then take apart my worryingly expensive CD player in order to remove the stuck CD. Well anyway I got it sorted in the end and the player appears to be working OK but the fact remains that I spent 12 pound on a CD which I dare not play again and had my night ruined because of said CD. So, what have we learned from this story? 1) beware of craply made bootleg CDs 2)don't be affraid to take apart a CD player, even an idiot like me can do it 3)women are not necessarily impressed by a guy who can dismantle a CD player, she buggered off and left me to it. take care, owen aka the narrow wizard +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: It makes up for the shortcomings of being poor...
by Robin Stout 03 Dec '99

03 Dec '99

Things I got free this week ===================== 1. A free Eccles Cake, when I bought a sandwich in our student union shop. It was very tasty, and quite unexpected. The lady just produced the Eccles cake, saying "...and here's your free cake." as if it was the most natural thing in the world. I was confused. 2. Later on I wandered into the union bar to try and get some change for the bus and a lady at the door said to me "hello, are you here for the quiz?". "Er, no." "Oh, well take this anyway" she said, giving me a pink raffle ticket. Pink eighty-six - my luck number. Inside were lots of people, being given free pizza and beer, including me it seemed, before "the quiz". So I ate, and drank all I could, before realising I was the only one who wasn't there for the quiz, and running away. 3. Free money - somehow my student grant has been mis-calculated so I've been given lots of money. Blimey. I was supposed to have been marching for student grants last week with Miss Starry Sarah but I didn't and now I feel twice as guilty as I did anyway. Belle and Sebastian dream ====================== I've been having a few disturbing dreams recently. The most disturbing, even more disturbing than the one about the donkey and Dusty Bin, was the one I had on Wednesday. In it, I was having breakfast, and reading the paper, when I noticed a picture in the showbiz section. It was a picture of Mick and Richard standing next to Mr Homo-erectus himself, Liam Gallager. The headline was "B+S - Oasis concert outrage" and told of the "anger" from B+S at the protests being held about the concert they were going to do with Oasis. Mick was quoted as saying "Basically Liam has had a lot of bad press, he's a really nice bloke and I feel honoured to play with him." Liam said "Aye, an I love me mom, too, you fookin bastards". Arantxa says I think too much about people in bands being "real people". Maybe this is true and I'm worrying about Richard's "showbiz lifestyle". But I do worry, you know. Le Pastie De La Bourgeoisie ======================= I'm in two minds about the protests in Seattle, because although the cause is right, a lot of the protesters are there for the wrong reasons. Here's a quote from yesterday's Independent; "We don't have time to change things non-violently," said a 17-year- old demonstrator called Rain, who said the protesters of the 1960s were too passive. "But property destruction is not violence. It's fun and it gets people's attention." Nice one, Rain, now have a bath. The kids in the U.S. have spent so long without an alternative to capitalism, they know what they're fighting against but they don't know what they're fighting for. That's why they're so full of apathy and violence. So they were marching against capitalism, but they weren't marching for socialism, or communism, or free-love or better shoes or anything like that. Grrr. (Robin pulls an angry face) It's happening in Britain too. So it's a good job I live in the Sinister Nation, isn't it? love Robin +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Elephants, Cucumbers and Seattle.
by Mr Beaker 03 Dec '99

03 Dec '99

ELEPHANTS, CUCUMBERS AND SEATTLE. Too much politics, not enough mindless shagging and abusing other listees - especially the younger ones. Nice disclaimer though Robyn. JUAN FANGIO IN BELLE AND SEBASTIAN CAR AD SHOCKA. I wonder why advertising companies think it's important to have a good soundtrack to sell cars. Surely people are interested in the way a car looks - it's just an accessory after all. You'd look a bit of a twat though getting out of a handbag on the M5 - Taunton Deane Services - You know the one. Maybe they're targeting a specific age-group ? So what car would B&S be used to sell, and more importantly which track ? I'd go for "The Boy Done Wrong Again", selling a Triumph Acclaim deliberately going the wrong way down the A38, ploughing into a few trees, and mowing down a few foxes probably. Perhaps Struan can rock it up a bit. Right..lunch. Lucy Croxford. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Thousands of Stores. Millions of Products. All in one place. Yahoo!

Sinister: Tick Tock Baby ( It's a Quarter to Love )
by Peter Miller 03 Dec '99

03 Dec '99

My Wu-Tang name is Raving Homosexual. Which is funny, because that was my porn name too. Those riots in Seattle look like a Tommy Hillfinger advert compared to the clashes between shipbuilders and police in Spain this week. Those guys really know how to rumble, and they've got muscles too. What I want to know is this: has that concert that was mentioned on the list had to be cancelled because of the curfew? Big Kev, your tape is in the post. Big Dave, I've tried and tried and tried, but I can't find your address. This morning I had the bright idea of looking for it on that envelope you sent me that had been used for Grateful Dead merchandise, but it wasn't there. It's just the number and street name and postcode I need. Like most listees, I have the rest of it burned into my very soul. Thai News: Yesterday, thousands of Thai diving skies descended on the nation's capital Bangrak to celebrate the upcoming birthday of the world's longest serving and grooviest monarch. Many thanks to Oon and Adrian for the nice postcard. Much appreciated. Has anyone seen a film called "Claire Dolan"? What a swizz. There was a picture outside of the dad out of "The Snapper" and "The Van" so I went along expecting Martin Conneely style Dublin fun and games, and instead I got an hour and a half of standard Sundance fodder about a mad shagging woman in bloody New York. That'll learn me. "Beyond the Sunrise" sounds like one of those Chemical Brothers / Noel Redding collaborations we've all come to know and love.

Sinister: helloooo
by Colleen Laden 03 Dec '99

Hi! I just hatched! I am really hung over so I am gonna make it short, or not...ok, I am Colleen, I live in San Francisco, oh and I am 24..most people call me "crack" (my friends think I am too skinny) anyways, my primate friend turned me on to B&S about uhh hmm a year ago, since then the guy in the apartment next to me has called the police on me twice and I have had the manager banging on my door in the middle of the night yelling, telling me to turn down the music or he was going to evict me. They are just jealous. You know what's funny is the time the police actully came to my place, I had been at my local bar right before last call and these three guys came in and we started talking, come to find out they had the same taste in music,bands, etc.(which is rare) so we ended up getting pies at like 3 am and going back to my place to listen to music and drink some wine, then at about 5am I got the call that the police were downstairs..ironic. I wonder what ever happened to those guys? o-well, I gotta go, I need a cigarette!

Sinister: Heaven is holding out for high scores...
by Walkn10＠aol.com 03 Dec '99

03 Dec '99

Lauren crushed me to tiny bits when she said to the world: << maybe i should be more like steve c. and start fantasizing about "hot chicks" in the back of magazines and then look up their websites >> Ach, I have been shamed! Now everyone will think I sit in my computer chair and wank off to internet porn everynight, which is entirely untrue (most of the time...just kidding). I just happen to have a weakness for girls who have 50s style and dress in risque little devil suits, which is precisely the angle of the new Altoid Cinnamon ads. Perhaps if I knew and had a shot with more "hot chicks" in real life, I wouldn't have to supplant html for flesh and blood (emphasis on flesh...ba dum dum). I must agree with whomever stated that vocal and defiant protests are the only way to make a dent nowadays, but then again, this is WTO, who have a very well defined anti-Human Rights/democracy stance, so why are people suprised that the protesters are getting knocked to hell and back? This isn't some small corporation with an attitude problem; these are the most powerful men in the world: the ones who own and operate the industry, not the politicians. I personally disagree with think mosr clear-thinking people realize the WTO is a load of horse shite, but anyone who figured they'd disrupt the biggest assemblage of money-makers ever with a few small handcuff chains and picket signs was dead wrong. I applaud them for putting the well-being of millions of others before their own, and I feel really bad that some of them got beaten/kicked/punched/shot/tasered, but you really should have seen that one coming. Hopefully by them pretty much making Seattle a war-zone for 24 hours, they've raised public awareness enough so that the WTO will have rougher waters to sail through in the future. Umm, oh yeah. Mumia-Jabaal is to be executed in a little over 30min here in Philadelphia. Rage Against the Machine are his biggest supporters ever, and they're playing in Baltimore tonight. If the town is still standing when I wake up tommorrow I shall be pleasantly surpised. Did anyone see the South Park last night, featuring Mr. Hanky's Christmas Classics? The duet between Jesus and Santa was too brilliant to be believed, and every other song was aces as well. I've heard rumors that this is the last season of South Park, and I hope to God that this is not true, because then Nascar and college basketball will be all TV is good for. A female co-worker told me I look like George Harrison circa Rubber Soul...I'm not so certain. I still say Cameron from Ferris Bueller's Day Off is more accurate.
