Sinister: Big city, bright lights, cool, cool people

Oh fuck it, I haven't done any work today anyway... > Were going to Manchester, Bournemouth > and London of course. > [Mark Casarotto] Becky, is the Bournemouth bit to see an ailing relative or something? I suppose bits of it are quite nice, but for real kicks for chicks, get yourself to Royal Leamington Spa, Jewel of the West Midlands (and it has JaMeS in it). Or Hull. > Now er are wondering, may it be a sinsiter meet up?? Can we have a > blast?? Does anyone know any cheap places in London to saty in?? > [Mark Casarotto] Bound to be, my friend, bound to be. And if you're after somewhere to satay, there's a chain of Mongolian barbecue restaurants, who used to do all you can eat for 9 quid or something. Boom, and indeed, boom. Kevan and his flaxen hair said: > Is there something wrong with the page that lists the Bowlie line-up? > The bottom of the page doesn't seem to be loading, the bit where it > says that Roolz will be there. > [Mark Casarotto] Yes, I noticed that, too. Perhaps they're the impromptu set in the Queen Vic that David promised in the Bowie details. Or perhaps that's where Bowie himself is playing - I didn't see his name in the line up either. Rock on, Starman! > 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... Katrina chipped in: > people have been asking how many keys you get to a chalet and we think > the answer is two :) > [Mark Casarotto] Fuck. Fucky fuck. If anyone can bring a mobile key-cutting service I'll give them my spare Gentle Waves badge. [Mark Casarotto] Pete added: > you've been given a tape with a certain song on > it, and then you buy the album that the song has been > lifted from. On listening to the album, you hear the tune > in question. The tune ends, and you start singing the next > song from the tape you've been given, and not the album. > [Mark Casarotto] I have a bigger problem with songs that have been taped with me which have jumps and skips in them thanks to the well-lovedness of the original vinyl, which leads to embarrassing premature commencement of the chorus and a rather bizarre interpretation of the words. Hate My Way by Throwing Muses is about 20 seconds longer in real life than on my tape, but cos I fell in love with it in crackly form, I kind of prefer the jumps nowadays :) Steve posited: > With regards to Ferris and his day off, although this is an ace 80's > moment > it pales in comparison with > [Mark Casarotto] <snip> (sorry Steve :)) National Lampoon's Animal House. This is an unarguable fact, like those big numbers you get on calculators which help you calculate the mass of the universe or something (did you know that 90% of the matter in the universe is unnaccounted for? I have a few pet theories as to what it could be, but I'll shut up, I think). How Tom Hulce hasn't got an Oscar on his mantlepiece for his sensitive portrayal of - oh bollocks, I can't remember his fraternity name - well, anyway, it's a travesty. Which reminds me - has anyone on this list actually been a frat boy? What's it like? What was your name? What did you have to do for initiation? Did you spy on nudie girls through dorm windows? Tell me more! God, I do go on, don't I...

Sinister: belle and sebastian as folk
by Mphintz＠aol.com 16 Apr '99

16 Apr '99

Due to the North American lack of quality British television like "Queer as Folk", I was wondering if perhaps during the day at Bowlie if the bands would be doing a reading of the episodes for us deprived. Since there are about nine women and fifty men in all the bands, I don't think casting would be a problem. Neil Hannon as Nathan, Stuart M as Vince, and playing Stuart is... the Queen Mother. Maybe not. Camber Sands isn't listed in my Let's Go book so I'm afraid it must not really exist. Or does it just appear from the mists like Brigadoon? Belle and Sebastian have contributed greatly in my slide to vice. Note in November at the shows in New York City, I realized I had forgotten the tickets and had to travel an hour on the train each way to retrieve them. Somehow or other the first pack found its way into my bag. Later that night after the show we retired to a bar. I only really recall drinking gin and tonics and making sure everyone else at the table had lit up. And now I am getting strangely excited about the thought of duty-free cigarettes when Brian and I come over to Bowlie. With London as a den of vice, I fear where this will lead. But I plan on enjoying the ride nonetheless.

Sinister: he`ll be dancing in a cage,at bowlie (this is really about movies)
by Genevieve Wesley 16 Apr '99

16 Apr '99

ho ho ho, i was supposd to see either Central Station or The School Of Flesh today,but i can`t,and i wonder about movies and about the movies that will be shown at Bowlie. I haven`t seen any of those movies except for Dazed and Confused..one thing bothers me about that movie,you know the L`oreal model, Milla? (dont buy that Le Grand Curl stuff girls and boys,i hear it dont work) well shes in it,as this big star,and does she do ANYTHING in that movie? shes only on screen for like 5 minutes. Why is it `starring Milla` ? I have wanted to see Gregory`s Girl for a while,but that movie must not exist up here---sorry if I`m embarrassing you keith,but is it really you as the boy in the movie?!?! sigh,i want to be a movie star,(or a ballerina,or a world cup soccer champion)i`ve only done one thing for television though...it was on cable. I danced around in leotards and read poetry,very dramatically from `The Jellicle Cats` VERY cool. those short documentaries sound a little strange `What is Happening to the Hovercraft`? i was watching this thing on fatness on Witness,the liposuction thing frightened me,and how come in english schools for gym they get to do BALLET?? all we get here is dodgeball (most of the time) my mom assured me not all the schools are like that,but gosh..how cute and educated the little british kids sound,they`re like 5 and they can speak better than me. why cant i be aritculate! i wont offer sexual favours to get a ticket to Bowlie,but my friend Gunther will.I will clean and cook though,and make cream puffs. Gunther will even do those `phhtttt!` things on your belly button that tickle oh so much! He knows reflexology as well. wink wink, gunther`s special pal ______________________________________________________ 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".

Re: Sinister: Bowlie Chalets

Two Keys per Chalet!!!!! They're having a laff aren't they. How are 6 or 7 grown people meant to cope. I'm going with 5 people I don't know from Adam. What if they all disappear? What if they all go to bed at half eleven and I'm banging on the door at 4.20 in the morning cos I've been dancing the night away. I'm sure the last time I went to Butlins (about 8 years ago) we had a key each and I was only 16 then (and clumsy and shy, obviously), so surely they can run to a couple more each. It's either that or pushing the key into a bar of soap and finding a dodgy key cutting emporium in Rye. Chris Butler said: >Lurkers unite! [ My only weakness is a list of rhymes ] which is but one example of Sm*ths lyrics (ish) creeping in to the list over the last few days (i know I've just done it too), which is all well and good, but I find myself singing the song for the rest of the day, in my M*rrissey voice (ie a rather strangulated whine), which makes everyone else in the office look at me and point, so if we could please try and stop (at least until I get my own office). With regards to Ferris and his day off, although this is an ace 80's moment it pales in comparison with the triumverate of Pretty in Pink The Breakfast Club & St Elmo's Fire Oh god, I'm back to 16, clumsy and shy again.

Sinister: Not arms of sex.
by weejay 16 Apr '99

Isn't Student Nurse a song by the Yummy Fur? (he pauses for laughs. There are none.) Oh well, I hope you're all in joyful anticipation of Bowlie... I'm not going of course but you then again the thought of bumping into Fluffy or Keith or even Honey scares me so much i'd probably hide in my chalet the whole time like sensitive stan :) Next weekend is it? Welllll.... If you want some pre-show entertainment, my friends and debtors $tolen Grand are playing their debut gig in the uni here on the friday night in the union bar. By the Uni I mean of course Southampton Institute, which is only, ooooh, 40 miles or so from the site itself. On the other hand, I wouldn't bother if I were you, it won't be much fun. And I still like the looper album, say what you will, I love all the songs on it (well, I just quite like burning flies but lets not split hairs over this) and they don't really sound the same at all. I hope you don't listen to an album and think 'Am I getting value for money here?' because that always spoils it. Turn of the lights and lie on your bed with it on headphones. Thats the only way. Since we can't rule out cheating with the 1000th member, maybe we should have a competition involving watching the page and subscribing when it gets to 999. Or has it already? Just checking... No, we can still do it. Maybe we can crash the network! We can but try ;) Oh, and finally, that title... Well, I was dancing with quite a nice girl at a nightclub last night, to 'Little Baby Nothing' by the Manics as it happens, and after a couple of miniutes I noticed she had lots of little while scars all down one arm.

Sinister: the alternative bowlie
by Archel 16 Apr '99

una stubbs and a tub of dairylea? the mind boggles. i think i'm glad i'm not going to camber sands, which seems to get more corrupt every day, turning into a majorette-infested, doctorwho-haunted, schooltrip-parodying, debauched cardie swapping den of iniquity. instead i intend to spend the weekend playing my cds of b&s, mercury rev, the delgados, the divine comedy etc, having first erected a little stage in my bedroom on which i will artistically arrange my little stuart and isobel dolls made out of yoghurt pots. i'm making stu's silver trousers right now, out of foil. then i'll just lie on my back and look at the glow stars on my ceiling and pretend they're real, and then retire to my imaginary chalet (to which i will have my own key, ha!) and have a pillow fight with myself before falling asleep unsullied by rampaging hordes of twee drunkards. perfect. if anyone wants to join me, there are still tickets available for a very reasonable price. you can leave your condoms at home though, none of that in MY chalets. i often sing the song which comes next on a compilation tape rather than the album too, but it doesn't stop there. i frequently start singing a completed unrelated song whose connection to the proceeding one exists only in my head, thus looking like a loony as well as a tit. right, back to my feminist deconstruction of the modern canon. rah! luv archel xxx ------------------------------------------------------------------- Rachel Playforth do something pretty while you can don't be afraid rap101(a)york.ac.uk skating a pirouette on ice is cool http://members.tripod.com/~RPlayforth/welcome.htm -------------------------------------------------------------------- +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
