Hello everyone this is a message Lesley asked me to forward to Sinister cos her email is still not working so here goes........ hello a ll you sinister people in the house. no im' not dead. disapointing isn't it?? well jess said at least one or 2 people noticed i was gone and were wondering. yeah so i'm having technical difficulties. if anyone realy wants to reach me you can alwyas do so (when my other address is screwed up) at rebelstrange(a)mailexcite.com i cna check it at school. so anyone who needs to say somehting to me you can do so in that capacitiy until i get my thing back online again. Hello to everyone i haven't been able to write. i'll get back to you all as soon as i can.hopefully soon.......hello to JaMes. did you get my package? are you excited as hell aboutgentle waves? did you get your stuff yet??? Hello weejay. ihave an idea for blueglow, my little essay. i thinkg it wil fit into your 'theme'. i have to think abou it but i think it will be quite amusing as well as somewhat embarrassing for me. hello Markbiondino. i got your little story i was quite surprised to hear from you but the story was the funniest thing i have read in a long time so i thiank you for that, it was truly unique and bizarre, how do you get hold of such wonderful things? hello Teri jess said you signed my guestbook! i'm glad you got tiggerjammies safe and sound! i took this picture out at the seminary a coupole weeks ago that is exactly Melt the Snow. i will send it to you sometime cos it's kind of neat. Xavier i got your Gull Powa and loved the seberg photo. jess and i were just marveling at a photo of jean seberg in the andy warhol museum, by god if she did not look exactly like isobel that is creepy...the tape Rawks. i like the dolly mixture and the girlpunk. my favorite was the Boy From Caracas!! more later Tom Y. i am so full of ideas.and working on some good ones for your little illustration request. i'l keep it in mind. i have some good resources to pull from. Hello to all the nursery bairns, i bet you're all so cute behind tha tplate glass window, in your incubators. Hello to honey. jess said honey was axing for stuff to go on mummy's fridge. probably not wanting more from me, but i have some amusing things i'll be wanting to send in eventually so never fear. I"m loving modern rock song the good version, it's my theme song now. i finally finished my crush tape for art girl, who is still looking very hot and who smiled at me today but probably only to pacify me as i was staring at her a bit too long, in some desperate hopeful measure to psychically convey my desire. i wanted to put up the list of songs to amuse you all, or annoy you, but this ke yboard in here sucks so bad i would not like to type much longer. i'll do it later. it has photo jenny on it, and Prime and Ticking by pj harvey. saucy no--i was going to put portishead or pulp's "i want You" but thought the pj one was going a bit too far already and didn't want to overdo the creepy obsession thing. portishead isn't really very crushy, it's pretty creepy, although it makes me feel crushy to listen to it it might convey a bad message.....i'll stick to the allen clapp and happy pop lala la you're so cute songs and the oh-so=-flirty headcoatees. *SIGH* i'm busy awaiting my gentle waves shipment. all hail jeepster. we love your rapid posting methods. isobel is definitely crushworthy on her web page photos as well. i also realized that laetitia sadier is crushworthy, which was a fun revelation. ihave a hit parade now of my ten biggest wanks which s omeday may amuse you but now i can't be bothered to look it up. but isobel only managed number 3 at her best. she's been headed off by someones unmentionable and unnamed in this context. she can have the white ribbon. how are you all fixing to go to the bowlie,god bless y'all and i'm sure you'll party like it's 1999. i hope it rains on you!!! while you get to party with the sinister crew, and feast upon the vision of murdoch, and rock out to sleater kinney!!!!! bastards! you get all the fun. what do i get? moping in lovesick hell. well shove off! (that was sarcasm for anyone who didn't get it) (I'm bitter) if there's anyone i forgot sorry, i have a test today and i'm tired and hungry and filled with unsatisfied Lust, and didn't realy want to be in this school, or this town, or this STATE today. god love you all, you dont '[have to be here. HEY erin devitt. and all the SW sinister posse, pray for me to get a ticket to tempe and when i get there we can all PAR-TAY becuase it's not missouri!!!! i hope everyone i sent tiggerjammies to got them alright and enjoyed them. I lied. i am terrible at partying, the bes ti can do is have picnics or go to the zoo, or make up random songs in a room with 2 people, tops. partying is alien to me and divides me from the rest of humanity, leaving me a bitter shell of a spinster damning the hapy faces that seem to mock my self-inflicted prison. *I LIKE KITES@* Y2K is a conspiracy do not be seduced. this ends here. i should see you soon if i can get my internet provider to f***ing ANSWER THEIR PHONES!!!! I saw a picture of a fox in the snow last nite in my art history book, it is by winslow homer and unlike hsi other paintings, does not suck. i like it very much, it's very sinister. the fox is in the snow and being about to get viciously swooped upon by crows who have been maddened and toughened to a sharp hunger by the long winter days. the fos is lifting one paw looking over the ridge in a desperate gesture to find escape. it's rather shocking but beautiful nonetheless. with love from me to you, Beebo Brinker (LJ) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Discerning musical tastes
by Brandt S. Fundak 31 Mar '99

31 Mar '99

Hi everybody! I'd just like to invite you all to listen to my radio show today from 2-4pm EST (that's 7-9 GMT). Today I am going to be playing stuff by Low, Pale Saints, The Ladybug Transistor and of course Belle and Sebastian. It would mean a lot to me if you listened so if you are so inclined check it out at http://www.webradio.com/wbgu. I realize that this is a shameless plug, but you all seem to have discerning musical tastes and who knows, you might enjoy it!

Anna J said: > ... was there ever any > decision on some Sinister-trademark thing for Bowlie? Like Honey's > suggestion about upside down-B&S badges or (was it?) Stephane's idea about > t-shirts. I must confess to being a little relieved that no-one has organised anything other than upside-down badges - well so far anyway. Not that t-shirts are A Bad Thing, just that I was worried for a minute that you'd all gone management consultant, capable and efficient on me and would leave me standing, overawed and slightly dazed. I had a vision of Sinister executive umbrellas and corporate desk diaries. So I'll be playing Little Miss Topsy-Turvy with the badges at "The" Gentle Waves concert in Glasgow and I guess at Bamber's Pans too. > P.S. Is anyone else getting the digests in the wrong order? At the moments > I'm reading the replies before the original mails... or maybe that's just > my mind working backwards. Thanks for telling me Anna I didn't know. I do know that again the UK links to the outside world are in a mess, so message delivery times from one person to another may be... unpredictable just now. There's also a little mess-up with the digest volume numbers that Andy Dean in his Dark Hairy Cave told me about, but we're not mentioning that because Honey's got a headache. x +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: The conundrum of the arab strap
by Chris Tunnock 31 Mar '99

31 Mar '99

Dear sinisterines, Whilst listening to the break-fasters on 3RRR (Melbourne's premier radio station) they were querying the nature of the arab strap, after playing Sleep The Clock Around... It is 7.30am. Do I... 1. Phone to illuminate the presenters and listeners alike, disturbing their previously hearty breakfasts. 2. Dial the phone and hang up after a few rings because I bashfully do not know how to pose my explanation. Bye Chris P.S my answer can be found in my next post because I had already sent this!!! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: The sun is out and so are the lurkers
by Anna J 31 Mar '99

31 Mar '99

Oho, It's that time of year again - picnics everywhere (but here) and of course I get jealous. :) Oh well, I suppose I'll have to what I did last year again, have a B&S picninc with myself. And if it turns out half as wild as last year's I'll have no complaints. The picnic lasted a whole, oh I'm sure, two crazy hours and in that time I'd managed to play strip poker with my self twice, break several limbs playing Twister, mis-sing half a dozen B&S songs (including "Get Me Away, I'm Naked") and get myself all woozy on lemonade. Now beat that Glasgow! :) Anyway, I'm having a little problem and I was hoping that someone might be able to help me, I got my Weathershow 7" the other day, and I can't play it. See, the little hole (you'll have to excuse me if I'm lacking in proper English words here) in the middle of the 7" is too small for the tiny stick on my turntable, in fact the hole looks sort of oval, well it doesn't fit anyway. It's never happened to me before, and I was hoping maybe someone's had the same problem and knows what's the best thing to do without ruining the single. It's mighty cruel to have the single and not being able to play it - so (desperate) HELP!! By the way, sorry about this question, but I haven't been too attentive the last couple of weeks (well, it's sunny outside...), but was there ever any decision on some Sinister-trademark thing for Bowlie? Like Honey's suggestion about upside down-B&S badges or (was it?) Stephane's idea about t-shirts. Just wondering. In 3 weeks exactly (ok, plus 5 minutes) I'll be lifting from Swedish grounds heading for Camber Sands!!! I'm sooo excited! But then aren't we all? (sorry anyone who isn't going) Bye-bye, Anna :) P.S. Is anyone else getting the digests in the wrong order? At the moments I'm reading the replies before the original mails... or maybe that's just my mind working backwards. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Babylon leave the Rastaman alone
by Honey 31 Mar '99

31 Mar '99

Citizens tuning in to the Sinister Home Service, I'm glad to see you're all going fluffy again. You little sweeties. I haven't got much to say but I'm going to say it anyway. First off sorry for anyone who used the Search on the Sinister site and got "0 results" one day last week - go cast your net over the side another time and you might get an abundance of fishes. The Search engine was bad and I had to take it aside and slap its legs but it's better now, and if it's broken in future I hope it will at least tell you that. That's unless you search for "I really like Acker Bilk does anyone have any rare B sides" in which case you will always get 0 results. Oh no hang on, that's not even true now or won't be from tomorrow. You can't say anything round here. Thank you fluffiest of Sarahs for the NME or wherever review of the General Ward LP, I'm not even bothering to type in the MM one, but a quick synopsis is: it's crap, Belle and Sebastian fans "have been cheated" and thank goodness for Looper. This from the pasty-faced ones who panned Looper, was it, last week? Next week: "Mick Cooke can't even hold a spanner straight, call himself a plumber?? Thank goodness Gentle Waves are so great. Belle and Sebastian fans have been cheated." I'm a big softy who falls for anyone who gives me a cuddly toy to hug (there are two people on this list who are forever blameless because they've done just that), and I hope no-one thinks the nursery really is a flick in the ear to new people, as Molly said. This is not about the creation of a B&S underclass who work under the ground in mines to bring us out tea :) I do hope you who are patiently waiting for voices don't think we're all fat frauds with huge cigars and conglomerates at our fingertips, like Mr Burns. New people are nice, and old people stink and are incontinent. Oh dear am I swinging the balance too far the other way? The Northern Sinister Event Of The Weekend took place in the Balmoral Hotel, Princes Street, Edinburgh last Saturday. Mistopher Chris Leonard, whose singing career is taking off so much he recently appointed a new Personal Assistant, and whose WWW site is gigglesome enough to deserve a link from the Sinister page, took afternoon tea with myself, Linda Lulu, and his nice Miss Julia. We drank ceylon tea from silver teapots, had scones, cakes and cucumber sandwiches, and scared a man off who was supposed to be playing the harp. Half way through we all suffered hallucinations concerning grass balls (please advise) and it ended up with Lulu spitting out cake in a fit of giggles over something or other. Anyway way I could just bloomin' well shut up, couldn't I? honeytothebeethatsyouforme xxxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
