Sinister: another long and disjointed update on nothing
by rebelstrange＠ldd.net 17 Apr '99

17 Apr '99

>From: Simon Ludlam <S.Ludlam(a)pindar.com> Subject: Sinister: bra(t) pack John Hughes = waste of celluloid aye, lad, i'd have to second you on that one--being probably the only person i know of under 30 who isn't familiar with those movies. admittedly i have seen ferris day off when i was a gell, but all the other ones i'm clueless about, and thankfully. Genevieve, do you ahve a tape of your Jellicle cats leotard dance? that sounds wellll surreal. wowee wow. who did the jellicle cats, was it TS Eliot, or that other guy?? sorry i forget things like that. I'll namble and pamble with isobel campbell, any old day. now we should find rhymes for ahh all the other members, like burdock (isn't that a weed of some sort) for Murdoch, and martin should be easy to rhyme. or course, in the action with STUDLY stevie jackson. I made a funny cartoon the other day with stuart in it. but it's a mystery. i'm not telling what it's about. NOW onto the subject of Donovan. mysteriously, i found a donovan 45 in this stack of old records i have from my grandparent's house a long time ago.....among the treasures being lovely things like the "Kac-Ties" the "Four Lads" mary hopkins, nancy sinatra, petula clark, and the 5th dimension, as well as some very nice rolling stones songs from when they were young and cheesy, and much better. but at any rate, the donovan single is "Aye my Love/Lalena". i was curious since i'd heard ppl say stuart sings like donovan. aye, my love, that he does. it's quite a comparison, except that stuart doesn't do that rather nasty vibrato thing at the end of each line that the D-meister does, which is a bit grating, but the songs are terrific. they have Strings, Flutey Mary-Jo solos (come and get it boys!) and wispy, wistful vocals like "La-di-da" and stuff about despair and loneliness and what not. actually "Lalena' is a pretty good couterpart to Mary JO, the theme is quite similar. "that's your lot in life, Lalena" (note: the n in lalena is pronounced as in spanish: enyay) i was extremely overjoyed. it made my day, which tells you how sad that particular day is. bxk--we always looking for some good cheese poetry. je suis fromage. AUUGHHHH why is cheese funny? for that matter, why are lesbians funny? and Nuns. nuns are funny. why?? Mommy--I wanna be a MTV VJ too. that would be a corker....me playing pjharveys' Mansize and Is It Wicked 24-7, and moping about trying to be all girly and loud in my camisole tops. a ctually it would be incredibly boring, wouldn't it. always at the mtv studios with idiots like carson daly, giving empty kudos to TLC and Collective Soul and uh 3rd Eye blind. i think i would get bored of it after a week, and just stay home to paint pictures or something. when would you have time to go horseback riding, or sit alone in solitude with Pussy Power? i knwo one thing, i'd play sleater-kinneys new video constantly. (in any case, kids in America, i've got my VJ picked out, can you guess who it is? i'm so wrong. is it wicked to idly glance at the tv screen on a BORING saturday afternoon????) i want my Fierce Tidals records!!! it will be so lovely. guess what, i have a set list. i did a performance last week. i felt so proud writing down my list to have before me, just like a famous rawk star like isobel, let's see should i do is it wicked right before kinky love? oh deary me. it was very much fun. i'm almost proud enough now to sing a song in public. (ouch!) wait for my indie pink viny 7" with my band, My Sweet Bread Toaster, coming soon anyone else admitting a guilty pleasure for that Hit Single "kiss me" by sixpencenonethericher? even though it was put into a totally EVIL movie, that girl singer is so mousy and adorable. if anyone cares, my crush said bye to me yesterday. that was a big occasion for me. just pat me on the head and humor me and go on your way. exhibitionist for the shy, Miss Helen Furr(of the decidedly non-flat abdomen) (LJ) http://www.members.tripod.com/rebelstrange The boat that brings us here will crack beneath your weight. This is territory you cannot invade.

Sinister: not going to bowlie sucks
by rachel tucker 17 Apr '99

17 Apr '99

umm....hi after waiting impatiently for what seems like forever for my nursery graduation, i've come over dead scared of actually posting. i spent an hour last night after receiving 'the call' debating whether to merely continue my lurkership or not, but i figured i should send something even if it's just the once. i suppose i still find this whole e-mail/internet thing a bit freaky. i am one of the original technophobes, something which was confirmed when i received my virgin message back today cos i forgot to put it in plain text! stupidly i then managed to delete my original message so i couldn't send it back and am now writing it again. doh! <incredibly depressing oxford utd non-joke: what do you call a striker who can't score? andy thomson> anyway, i'm not going to bowlie because, as my dad always annoyingly points out: importance and enjoyment just aren't the same thing. unfortunately the oxford norwich match is more important, but nowhere near as enjoyable. in fact, probably shit. i'd just like to add my own bus story before i go and think about stu m and those tubs of dairylea to cheer myself up: a couple of years ago a guy in a big mac sat across the aisle from me on the no.52. he looked like your average flasher/pervert, so i was intrigued when he rummaged in his bag and got out..... a yoghurt. he stroked the tub for a bit and then slowly unbuttonned his coat. i was definitely fearing the worst by this stage until i saw what was sewn into the lining... inside pockets filled with....... rows and rows of plastic cuttlery!!! he then proceeded to eat FIVE yoghurts, each with a different spoon which he licked clean before putting it back in his coat! man, it was weird. anyway, i've bored you enough now. you never know, i might be back! if not, have a fab bowlie :) <sigh> lots of love rachel xx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: token effort
by Alix Campbell 17 Apr '99

17 Apr '99

hello i have a problem. bus drivers keep talking to me. they never used to, and now they strike up conversations. today one said 'do you recognise me?' and i said no. turns out he drives tractors at the farm down the road from my house. what he was doing on a bus is beyond me (do not say 'driving it', please, that wouldn't be funny) earlier this week i got asked 'what do you know, gal?' they won't leave me alone. i may buy a bike. > A special interest film called "Student Nurse"? I think I might have > seen that one. > >Mark Casarotto] I've got the vid Kevan, you can watch it in the >chalet if you like, um, when the girls are asleep... that's not fair, mark. i think i shall sulk. anyway, kevan will be busy with his mudwrestling. is it illegal to sell dutyfree cigarettes? hypothetically if someone were to sell me 20 marlboro lights for £3, would they be breaking the Law? actually, i don't care, don't bother answering that, it's dull. anyway, with bowlie creeeping up on us like a listee with only a few days left in the nursery (never could do metaphors, or whatever they're called), i am almost wetting myself in anticipation. as opposed to a weak bladder. that wouldn't be savoury at all. anyway, i still have nothing to say. oh, thankyou anyone what bought me a drink friday night. love alix +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Tune It!
by The Stoat 17 Apr '99

17 Apr '99

I just picked up a copy of "Up a Tree" this week, and have been listening to it quite a bit. I like it. It's not [Insert Name of Your All-Time Favortie Album Here], but it's whimsical. And I like the use of the "idee fixe" - it helps to tie it all together. BUT - my biggest complaint/criticism has to do with the out-of-tune instruments on "Quiet and Small." It's a pleasant enough song. I just wish some time had been taken to tune the instruments before it was recorded. I've heard that out-of-tune playing and singing can sometimes be used as an expressive device, but I'm not sure that this is what's happening here. As for the B&S content of this message - the same can be said for "The Boy Done Wrong Again." Great song, but the intonation does tend to set the teeth on edge, doesn't it? andrew +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Re: Bowlie Tickets
by Stephen_J._Wood＠andyclin.exnet.com 16 Apr '99

16 Apr '99

Hi, All! Are these Bowlie tickets scarce? You see I now have three spares (mates cancelled) and am wondering whether to let (other) mates have them on the cheap, or risk leaving it to sell them on the day and hopefully get their face value! So if anyone's looking for tickets, email me soon! Of course the downside is that you'd have to share a chalet with my good self! I hear from the Cardiff ticket agency that the Gentle Waves gig is not about to be re-scheduled, so I'll sadly be sending back my ticket for a refund (It's a good month for unused tickets) (or do you think in a few years the ticket may be worth more than its face value as a collector's item?) Looking forward to Bowlie! Cheers! Rocker rocker(a)andyclin.exnet.com P.S. I only access my email every couple of days, so don't worry if it takes a while for me to reply! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: bitter? oh, you don't even know....
by mkl206＠is8.nyu.edu 16 Apr '99

16 Apr '99

hi kids here i come, bouncing out of my faux fur lined cave to tell you all about the non-existant excitement in my life. well, that's not totally true, there are some good bits, though right now i'm busy on not so exciting things. but whatever. i think we should have a nonbowlie chatup in the chat room with genevieve and peter miller and who else? i'm trying to remember who all's coming. of course, mr miller would have to *come* to chat. right now, i tend to believe that he's a figment of my imagination. though how exactly i would dream him up, i'm not entirely sure. and i guess he'd have to be something of a mass halluicnation, but oh well. about teen movies, i guess everyone has favorites, but some kind of wonderful? pardon me while i BARF. ew, ew. i like ferris a lot still. the breakfast club kind of loses it's allure as i get older. i think the best teen movies are fast times at ridgemont high, valley girl, and heathers. i hope that ends any arguement. ;p now i want to make an important request. everyone who i know who goes to bowlie needs to bring me a present. and there are a lot of you. if i suffer, at least i want material gain by the end of it. my number one choice is the bowlie weekender: after dark which apparently brian is working on. condoms and women's sanitary bits will figure into them. which i hope none of you are ashamed of buying. um, enough repeated jokes and in jokes which can only be understood by myself. which is happening more and more often lately. do you ever wonder how to tell if you're going insane? xoxoox megan mkl206(a)is8.nyu.edu who are magnetic fields? http://www.dissemination.com/megan/magneticfields/ updated 4/3/99 +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: invasion from mars: interplanetary stories
by jessica 16 Apr '99

16 Apr '99

aloha you sweet things, wheee! it's raining today and much less chilly than other days, so of course i had to run outside and roll my pants up to my knees and jump in the puddles barefoot. but then the postman came and gave me a puzzled look, so i retreived my mail and went inside. the bottoms of my feet are dirty from the pavement. or it could be dirt. whatever. i would like to point out that i am not offering sexual favours (unless you're the roolz boys - oh, how i love boy bands) in exchange for a bowlie ticket, but i have included an easy-to-read-and-compare list of reasons you should all splurge for me. on a *ticket*, kids. minds out of the gutter. - own both travel scrabble and travel yahtzee - have wonderful lock-picking abilities (to overcome the 2-key problem) - have gold stars which are given to good boys and girls - will not talk through the movies or throw popcorn at the screen - will bring cases of coveted kraft dinner - will bring cases of coveted jell-o desserts - can pick up duty-free liquor at the airport - own a nurse's uniform (for 'student nurse' fun) - have a very twee fear of pigeons - will bring barry white album for 'love sweet love' atmosphere and although my maths aren't very good, i've managed to figure out that if each and every one of the 19 people that voted for me on the list crush poll would each send $25, then we'd all be happier and i'd be seeing you in bowlie. < s i g h > on to more realistic things... i've read the may select b+s article (after carefully removing the dusty springfield poster and gazing at brett anderson's lovely trousers), i must say that i got quite the little thrill seeing stevie trousers and the duke and list mummy honey quoted. the best part? when asked what went on in the sinister chat room... "smut. there's always a lot of smut..." as much as i enjoyed that, it meant that i couldn't let my mum read the article. she saw me carrying it around, this was before i read any of it, and i mentioned that there was a big article on belle and sebastian and the sinister list, and she said "oh good, now maybe i'll understand why you have to subscribe to a mailing list about only one band." something tells me she'd understand even less if she read about them, and that i'd be net nannied to death over the smut mention. however, i did quite enjoy "belle and sebastian fans are not totally normal." i'm crossing my fingers that they'll have a feature on stuart murdoch's room. i can only imagine what fun it would be. love, jessicaxo * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * someone had spied on us, i suppose, as we sat beside the canal and ate the sandwiches, drinking not even orangeade or coca-cola but hot milk out of a thermos. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * t i n y s t a r @ w o r l d y . c o m (it's lovely being a girl) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: I'm going to spill my load (of joy, that is..)
by funkyseb＠freeuk.com 16 Apr '99

Yo! you twee motherf*ckers! Dem bus stories what you sent waz def, and well wicked. 'nuf respect! Me is gonna rite me a up chillin' script 'bout dem what will be massive in a Spike Jones stylee. Big up da sinister massive! God that was shit wasn't it? Certainly not as good as Ali G on that 11 o clock show, which is officially the funniest thing on at 11 o clock this week. Anyway, I loved reading all those stories, especially the one where the boy and girl spoke to each other on the bus and ended up going out.Ahhh!! More please! I can only apologise for all of today's exclamation marks, I put it down to the fact that I'm at work, and starting to trip on paint fumes.... gag gag cough splutter sick etc. I'm scared of Bowlie now I think. I think I might just die the moment I see the bowlie bus gleaming at Victoria, too much anticipation, too much... anyone else scared that they'll just burst all over Wilton Street next Friday? And Gregory's girl too! I mean, either Stuart Nancy and Lee Murdoch is a cynical businessman who's done a lot of market research, or the man is even ovlier than I thought.... anyway, I'm off to see sodastream.

Sinister: Cliff, Una, Dairylea and me.
by martin＠send.demon.co.uk 16 Apr '99

16 Apr '99

Hello, Sorry to bring up the Bowlie again to the non-believers, sorry I mean non-goers. But I don't think it will be an orgie of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll after reading the Bowlie travel tips on the Jeepster website. It made me feel like I was going on a school trip which I thinks pretty cool. I couldn't find the attached slip to get my mummy and daddy to sign though. I also think the bring plenty of condoms advice is just so we can make funny shaped water balloons and throw them at each other which will be fun. I'm making sure I bring plenty of Dairylea as apparently that's the way to win friends and influence people in these sorts of situations. I also can't wait to get on the double decker bus there, I'm get all excited about singing "Summer Holiday" with Una Stubbs and a tub of Darylea... Anyway...real reason for posting is for someone to remind me what's going on next Thursday i.e pub in London pre-Bowlie event as I can't remember. My whole thought process has been taken over by cheesy Una Stubbs now. Martin P.S For those who can't remember... We're all goin' on a summer holiday. No more workin' for a week or two. Fun and laughter on our summer holiday. No more worries for me or you, For a week or two. We're goin' where the sun shines brightly. We're goin' where the sea is blue. We've seen it in the movies. Now let's see if it's true. Everybody needs a summer holiday. Doin' things they always wanted to. So we're goin' on a summer holiday To make our dreams come true, For me or you. We're goin' where the sun shines brightly. We're goin' where the sea is blue. We've seen it in the movies. Now let's see if it's true. - Sir Cliff (voted best new singer by the NME 1959) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
