Sinister: sorry, but it's me again

I hope I didn't sound arrogant on my last mail. If I did, I'm sorry, but it wasn't intended. I'm also sorry for mailing frequently today. Pleeeeeese tell me the baby and grandparent listees - everyone responded so well to dave's plea for his mum's tape - be nice to me. And does anyone want to meet up in glasgow soon - possibly for the looper gig?

Sinister: Well, I'm sooooo sory, but he was speaking english
by M223CMellan 04 Mar '99

04 Mar '99

Linda Kerr emailed me in response to the Crazy "spanish" man she said >You might be good at computing, but languages aren't so hot....:) >Linda well, linda, I'm soooooo sorry. He was writing IN ENGLISH!!!!. I only assumed that he was spanish because of his name. Besides, I've never studied spanish, or portugese for that matter. I've only ever done french. AND I AM HOT AT LANGUAGES - I got a straight 1 in my standard grade french. In fact, last year, I sat 8 subjects at standard grade, (maths, english, french, history, physics, chemistry, art, and computing) and I got straight 1 s in all of them (The only person in a year with 450 pupils) So, in future, please do not insult people when you don't know the entire story.

>i like typing out 'belle and sebastian' in full, instead of B&S, it sounds > (well, looks) nicer. >i know that the name comes from a book that was made into a tv series but > i'm sure that i saw a cartoon version of it when i was a little kid, did > anyone else see it or am i being delusional? >=E0 bient=F4t, >annie You are right... I remember seeing that I can't remember if it was everyday or every week.. I don,t think I was too much into Belle et Sébastien in that time;) But i know my friends were really into them.. Which reminds me of some physic class when I was drawing B&S and songs all over my book and this girl started talking about the tv show and singing the theme song of it:) well that's my 2 cents.. I,ve tried finding that tv show and the book also a few months ago and I never got around to find them :/ Maybe someday I will:) well cheers, Karolyne xxx 1/2 ______________________________________________________ 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".

Sinister: trick tape
by M223CMellan 04 Mar '99

04 Mar '99

fellow listees, lords, and loopers (bunch of loopers) Firstly, does anyone know if looper are going to do any thing in glasgow? - they seem to have done gigs in every other town's banch of borders, which really sucks. GOOOEY - GUUUUEYYYY Har, har, har, oh, how I laughed today when I used my devious and cunning skills for the good of mankind - this girl who I like and am really good friends with was humming, as she always is, and I could tell that it was the new blur single. She said "oh, I love that song " and I said - "hey I've got the single (which I do- this is slightly scary) I'll get you a copy of it." The thing was she had previously said to me that after I let her listen to fox in the snow, she thought that it was really depressing, and she thought that b&s were boring. So sneaky me, I did tape the blur song, but I also taped my top 10 fave b&s songs, and songs of other non mainstream bands - this included quite a bit of folksy stuff, which she had laughed at before, because she said that it was like something out of the 60's. Then, I gave her the tape, and the next day she came in and said how she thought that some of the songs were really beautiful, and appologised for mocking me before (even if it was only lighthearted). I thought 'yaaaay! - I've converted someone, and she actually appreciates good music (she had said a coulple of weeks earlier that she thought steps were artistically commendable - she later told me that she'd been having a laugh and thought that it was hillarious that I was so gullible.) Ahhhh, so happy and warm, yet I'm still cold with the thought of waling home in the cold wind, as I'm e mailing you from supported study afterschool class - in computing- and I haven't done any work, but hey - I don't need to - I'm a genius. The higher exams are approaching steadilly and I need to get 5 A 's (I got 4A's and a B for my prelims, but I feel that anything less than an A is failure, so i'd better get the results or I shall be forced to live a life of shame.) Are any listees currently studying for their highers, or the english equivalent, A-levels? I need someone to share the boredom with. Finally - who is baby listee, and grandparent listee - the oldest and youngest listees? To start you off, I'm 16 - I believe that I am a possible contender for OAP listee. We shall speak again, don't know where, don't know when.

Sinister: The parable of the Hamster
by Mark Iles 04 Mar '99

04 Mar '99

>i responded personally to Mrs. Murdoch. >it's wonderful to learn something from a mailing list. > >the allegory basically can be summed up as: >1. jesus is hamich >2. god is the goldfish >3. the kingfisher is tony blair. > >right? ;) > >senor droolcup > >PS: 4. stu, mick, isobelle, etal are the original friends. No, no, no, you're both wrong. Stuart Murdoch is Hamish, the Goldfish is Jeepster, the Kingfisher is... errr... Seymour Stein. The original friends are people who've been subscribed to Sinister for ages (or have Tigermilk on vinyl) while the new friends who like the crappy new obstacle are fans drawn in by B&S's Brits victory. So the moral is that B&S should stick with Jeepster and not be lured by major labels and their moneygrubbing ways. And of course old fans are far superior to these Johnny-come-lately newbies (curse them and their "Can someone make me a copy of Tigermilk?" ways). Mark P.S. Only joking. No flames please. ___________________________________________________________________________ Mark Iles, Tel: +44 (0113) 2065042 Imperial Cancer Research Fund, Fax: +44 (0113) 2340183 Genetic Epidemiology Laboratory, Ashley Wing, Email: iles(a)boreas.leeds.icnet.uk St James's University Hospital, Beckett Street, Leeds, LS9 7TF U.K. ____________________________________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: The Purloined Brit
by PJMiller 04 Mar '99

04 Mar '99

Warrander John, I'm sorry to have been the bearer of bad tidings, but you're right about Dusty Springfield being a smashing person, at least according to Gerry Marsden of Gerry and the Pacemakers. He was interviewed on the radio yesterday, saying that Dusty was "a lovely lady, a lovely lady", which he followed up by proving that every cloud has a silver lining - "Now she's in Heaven singing duets with John Lennon", he said. Having it off, more like. Speaking of clapped out Liverpudlian comedians, are the folks at Jeepster after Bobby Chariot's job? All that whining self-pity, they'll be moaning on about sleeping in their Jags and taking pills for their nerves soon. What happened to feeling very strongly that we shouldn't be wallowing in past history? Mrs. Murdoch, I enjoyed your Bible story very much. Do the local children still come and see you when they scrape their knee? What about if they have a moral dilemna? Yes there was a Belle and Sebastian cartoon, and a balck and white television series, and a series of books. It's all to be found in the Ark of the Covenant, formerly known as the archives. Well worth a visit. The "other" list hasn't got one.

Sinister: Sleeping with the black dog
by weejay 04 Mar '99

04 Mar '99

Heigh-ho sinister, I myself am wary to the dangers of falling asleep to nick drake - Not that I've had any relatives die since, um, my cousin last summer and that was pre-drake-discovery, but I really can't put on 'time of no reply' or my sampler as they both contain black dog, a track apt to give me a v.scary recurring nightmare. If you know the song you'll know what I mean. I did it (fell asleep to the tape, that is, oh smutmongers) at my friend dans place and it didn't happen that time but its different when there's 3 other people sleeping in the same room, isn't it? Um, what else...? Oh yeah - I've got a reccomendation to put to you, although not a very hard-to-find one... Anyway, it's 'The God Of Small Things' by Ahrundati Roi (Misspelling probably, but I left the book at home) which I think may have won the booker prize but it's not at all dry, it's really emotionally affecting. The style is a bit like Salinger's stories about the Glass family, only post-collonial Indian. I'm still thinking about what it all meant and I haven't come to any firm conclusions yet, so I can't say much more really. If any of you ever have any doubts about this list and it's quality, I suggest you subscribe to the chemikal underground list - I just deleted 50 postings about a band called 'godspeed you black emperor' who I've never heard of and aren't even on CU. One list for me from now on. Thank you all for writing interesting things. Hey, better go to my lecture - dullest of the week by quite a way but it's too late to sleep through it. dada, james xxxxxxxxxxxxx "Weej! Shut Up!" - everybody, all the time.
