Sorry am I being horribly rude, its just I'd assumed you were a boy cos of your name. I don't pay enough attention to the list and I don't know people all that well. See since you replied passionately to my Will Oldham stuff I thought hey, I'll have a list crush on you sweet Evan. But if you're a girl......well I'll just give you the option, that's all.

Sinister: Who can you trust?
by Martin Horsfield 02 Feb '99

02 Feb '99

In the spirit of caring and sharing (rather than naming and shaming, which is often as much fun), I think Arantxa's chosen solution to her wee problem is pretty, erm, logical. We've all been in vulnerable positions like that (boys as well as girls, me just twice so far) when instead of obsessing on the ramifications of the book/villain/whatever, it would be better to know how to avoid situations like that in the future. Girls generally are more streetwise than boys, but boys as we know will often try to take all the credit for everything. In the wise words of Preston's Kaleida, it's a case of 'Knowing Who Your Friends Are'.

Sinister: Stuart Murdoch is lovely/Competition Time!!!!
by Chris Leonard 02 Feb '99

02 Feb '99

Alright my slender chums, how are you? I'm very well thanks. Miss Julia and I have been in Amsterdam this weekend. What a lovely place, we saw Anne Frank's house and Rembrandt's house and quite a lot of hardcore pornography and whores. We didn't take any drugs though, because drugs are bad for you. Apart from Heroin, it's lovely. Looking forward to see some of you tomorrow at the Evie Sands shindig an that, we should have a wee competition to see who can get a photo of Struan Murdoch eating a flake. I bet the Melody Maker would pay a packet for that. I'm being silly kids, if any of you were evil enough to try and make profit out of Murdoch's camera shyness I'd bet Katrina would kill you with a skilful toss of her boomerang. Accurate across oceans, she is. Competition Time. Ascii Murdoch! Take a standard murdoch and ascii it funny style. Then send it to me. The winner gets to be very proud. We need ascii murdoch! If any of these look funny on your screen, and If you can be arsed, rearrange them till they work. Or change the font to courier or something. You'll know when you're right. Standard Murdoch """"" (o o) | ¬ | \~/ Brad Murdoch (Look at the sarcasm in his eyes!) """"" """"""" """"""""" ""(~ ~)"" ""| ¬ |"" \-/ Darth Murdoch xxx xxxxx x(O O)x x| ¬ |x \-/ Hmm. Think you can do better? Mail me, not the list. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: the lowest tolls of smut ever
by Arantxa Sanz 02 Feb '99

02 Feb '99

Dear sinisterines: After our glorious 99 starting, the posts have somehow faded away and this is not the way it was. I am starting to speak as my dad, and only 25, mmmm,worrying... I cannot even begin my message with some polemic argument , as I totally agree with Charlotte about sensitive boyfriends, bad stuff, always bad, and with someone else whose name I don't remember (-> literary quote in Shakespeare in Love style, if someone catches it...)about that it would be so exciting if every day in our lives had a Belle and Sebastian songlyric as script. I want 'My wandering years are over', for example. I would die for a kinda Michelle Pfeiffer in The Fabulous Baker Boys performance in a piano bar full of bored executives after some conference where Japanese hours d ouvres are offered in tries, and then , the 'One' just turns up there and decides to change his life on the road to grow old by my side...Could he be Jeremy Irons,please? No Looper song have I heard yet, so I feel a bit marginalised in all this zeal about their gig at Rough Trade.No Salako either, but I will do my best to listen tomorrow that Peel Session. As my subject says, we are reaching negative values of smutty content and here I am ,dear diary, to tell you my experiences in that field...I was looking for my lost glasses yesterday evening, and when I risked myself into searching under my wardrobe, what I found but no glasses, a yellow, tacky book titled 'How to masturbate women', all Russ Meyer's graphic design, 200 coloured pictures, obviously 70's . As we are 3 girls in my house and our landlord is a lovely Muslim father in his fifties who will come today to collect our monthly payings,I felt totally forced to hide it in the cellar, though one of my housemates regarded it as so disturbing and sinful (it is, indeed!) that she said we should burn it... It is better not to reflect upon the possible meanings of this story : I lost my geeky glasses, I found a smutty manual. Has my life to change? I need some spiritual advice! I am all ears ... ( not literally, please!)

Sinister: The Omen IV is a 15 certificate
by Mark Casarotto 02 Feb '99

02 Feb '99

In my wide-eyed, drooling keenness to see the magnificence that is L!O!O!P!E!R! at Rough Trade (which most Lahndoners will know is extremely wee), I gave them a call (apologies if anyone else has already done this and posted about it, but I'm a digestive these days) and they said that it was actually March 9th (a week before my birthday :)) when the band were going to play. The woman I spoke to also said that March 9th was a Monday, which it ain't, but the implication was that it would take place on the day of the album's release. So I'm a bit confused really - if anyone else (Gerard, if you're back on the list, give us a call) knows anything more concrete, please post it or write to me privately as I'd *love* to swoon at the feet of Stuart David as soon as possible...bet it's during work hours, though :( She did also add that it would have to be a ticket-only do (no charge, but tickets to prevent a riot breaking out on the streets of W11, I suppose) - the Rough Trade shop phone number is 0171 229 8541, and she suggested I call back in a week. My favourite Looper song is "Elvis". My favourite Huey Lewis and the News song is their cover of Queen's "Get Down Make Love". I'll get me coat.

Sinister: Sinister, answer me thus.
by Neil Dewhurst 02 Feb '99

02 Feb '99

"You've been away too long, it's lonely when you are gone" is probably not what you're all thinking, but spare a thought for me today on my first post in almost two months. It's a sad post. (Cue music sung in a version of Romeo and Juliet and used famously by a big bearded DJ) In the space of two hours I have learnt that the interview I was to have this lunchtime for a new job (I'm hoping to leave my running wheel at last) has been rearranged to tomorrow, I have woken with a start to realise that I was late for work (which is the price one pays for playing playstation games until 3.30 am) I have been told about last nights lovely Nick Drake documentary (or folkumentary perhaps?) and I have found out the the Boos have split. Boo Forever! Boo UP! Still, my day could be cheered in many ways. * With a balloon (nobody can be uncheered with a balloon) * By some kind sinistrome being able to provide me with a copy of the Nick Drake programme (I am with tape) * Or by someone knowing of large rooms with double beds going for around £300 a month in the North or West London areas, as I am also being forced to don my old kit bag and smile, as I pack up my troubles. My landlady has decided to sell her house. Oh, and someone said how wonderful IKWTSG is. And they were right. I won't incur wrath by posting the "best of 98" tape I have made myself, suffice to say that two B&S songs made it onto the final cut (dispute the one song per band rule) - one was about summer, and one was a rather unsavoury number about a small child with a sex aid. Thanks for listening, folks.

Sinister: Nick Drake: tragic beauty.
by paul sallis 02 Feb '99

02 Feb '99

Hello sin'sters, this is my first onslaught of dirge since stumbling upon your sweet'n'cuddly list last week, and gladness is mine, as without it I probably would have missed the (folk)rockumentry on Nick Drake (which would have caused a lengthy period of wanton lonliness and aimless meandering across this barren sphere...etc etc you get the picture.) Anyways, I'd better spill some info your way I suppose: I've been an avid Belle & Sebastian fan for two years or so (since hearing em on a Peel session, and subsequently purchasing 'Dog on Wheels'). I have yet to discover exactly why I love their musings, I tried to put a finger on it once, but it moved. I listen to music too much, I read too much, I think too much. <-- pretty much sums me up. Thanks for letting me waste your time, and I hope I didn't flaunt too many unwritten laws of the list junkies. Au revoir! ps Anyone else catch the Drake thing? pps If so, can you believe how sketchy they were on putting across some of the vital points of his (short) life? == - 'As I traced the form of the pebbles beneath my feet,' - 'I looked behind and I saw this one so sweet.' - 'She came to me and I saw in her eyes,' - 'the heavy toll of a thousand sighs.' - 'It was then I met my princess of the sand.' (Nick Drake: Strange Meeting II.) _________________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
