Sinister: dry bread and water from now on...
by Paula Cullen 31 May '99

31 May '99

hi all, well, this is only the second time i've posted so go easy on me yeah? i promised that i would get drunk before i posted again, but due to my rather irresponsible ways at the weekend, i'm afraid THAT wont be happening for quite some time :( feeling a little depressed on friday afternoon, (look at this months "select" and you will understand why: my bowlie picture is on the espionage page and i look like robert smith.) i took a stroll into town with my wage packet, thinking maybe i'd pick up a couple of records that might cheer me up. I CAME HOME WITH A ?300 LEATHER JACKET!!!!! okay, on the plus side it's "terribly gucci, dahling" but on the minus side it cost the same as say, 100+ pints of cider or.... HALF A CAR!!!!! AARRGGGHH,..... I THINK I'M DELERIOUS!!!!!!! anyway, my mentalist spending habits aside, i think it was ailsa ross who commented on the b&s boys being in the company of a certain emma bunton lookalike at the weekend. thats my friend, that is! and she does look like emma bunton. and she's nice, to boot! :) maybe i'll be mistaken for victoria adams now in my new leather jacket. pah! wednesday adams, more like! :) oh look, no b&s content again, sorry paula cullen booze explosion booooze!!!! yeeeaaahh!!! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: faking intimacy is an artform of mine
by Timothy Roberts 31 May '99

well i was going to explain my interpretation of lazy line painter jane but i couldnt really articulate it very well so i thought id show you a bit of a song i wrote called ethics girl that sort of sums it up: not quite love, close enough, jules and jim, is wearing thin, laid flat, on her back, double dare, doesnt care, ethics girl, against the world its like she may fit peoples perception of a slapper, but shes doing it out of... i dont know, i told you i couldnt articulate it very well. its not really that similar over the whole song, but i thought that that bit was appropriate. it probably hasnt come out very well without the music but im trying my best. i think more people on this list should express their views through verse. or maybe not. also, i think someone mentioned this ages ago, but its strange how the song could almost be called lazy jane, which rhymes with hazey jane, because didnt stuart murdoch claim to be unaware of nick drake before people started comparing him to him? i think either a) im remembering it wrong, he never said that, b) hes telling fibs, or c) i am very paranoid right thats it, im going back to bed from tjohn. "and do you think its possible to be sensitive and strong?" "hmm... we are." -the bmx bandits visit deadhippy online: http://www.deadhippy-records.freeserve.co.uk batfink site to come soon... +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Franny or Claire
by Arantxa Sanz 31 May '99

31 May '99

Hey! What's up in this list while I am attending Eurovision parties and forced to support the embarrasing Norwegian entrance.I wanted Iceland to win, Giita, but Swedish riding-lover PlasticWoman managed to fool all the letchy middle-aged gentlemen across the continent.Fortunately, because of our lottery system to choose randomly the country you had to support during the party I could avoid to show any sympathy about the Spanish singer who was even more embarrasing than the Norwegian choice. And she ended in last position...! I mean , 107 messages , how can I cope with the different threads flowing here and there and try to follow people's proposals? But I have just managed to read quickly about the Franny&Zoey one, and for once, there will be an original piece of information to be contributed from here. Franny's real model was JD Salinger's second wife, Claire (he got married in France during the War,but that is a quite unknown fact).He wrote the novel while his affair with Claire was taking shape. JD was about 38 I believe when they met and Claire was 19 or 20. She was engaged to a Harvard graduate, who is obviously that totally stuffy and narrow-minded Franny's boyfriend at the beginning of the tale.Claire finally married this bloke but quit him not very long after, to go and live with JD. Her marriage seems to be only a sort of pause in her relation with our man. I don't know how Claire's fiance was in real life, but to be portraited in a book as that tosser is one of the worst revenges from a rejected pretender I can remember in human history. I will continue reading all your messages before posting any more disconnected nonsenses. What about that Greenwich picnic? Hope your Londoner weather is more understandable than ours.Here a sort of tropicalia micro-clime has developed lately, and we have hot, humid mornings and thunderstorms in afternoons. Love,love,love Arantxa +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: 1 point wasI insist too much
by Jordi Trenzano i Vilar 31 May '99

31 May '99

I donŽt remember if I talked about this on previous posts, but IŽm GLAD THAT SPAIN HAD ONLY 1 POINT AT EUROVISION. The song was awful, and the sin ger looked like an strange alien wearing that dress. IŽve listened all the reactions in the spanish media, and they always end by saying, "oh, the scandinavians never vote us..." or excuses like that. Cowards. I want to hear Mr. PJ MillerŽs one. For the next year (in 2001, obviously) I also want my local fellows ASTRUD to play at Eurovision. They are a Pet Shop Boys-styled duo, with really nice songs. I must insist: If anyone wants the tape of the Barcelona gig, plese, wait for a few days until I know if anyone has "The loneliness..." complete. IŽm reading a catalan translation of "Raise high the roof beam, carpen ters". ItŽs REALLY GREAT.The book also contains "Seymour: an introduction "IŽm one of those guys who grew up with the TV-Era, and I havenŽt read as many books as I should. IŽm going to be good, and iŽll read. This is a promise, and IŽm going to apply it, as this one is not one of those false promises that you do the 1st of January. Well, thanks for reading.

Sinister: lazy jane all the time
by Sarah Drayton 31 May '99

31 May '99

Hello Sinisterines Firstly, I'd like to say thank you to everyone that gave me all their pet name suggestions. However, my boyfriend has decided that the fish will be named Superstar D.J. despite my protestations. i should get to name it, after all I bought the little thing...I really want to name it Blofeld(cannot remember who suggested it but I thought that was a brilliant name for my little fishie as he does tend to blow a lot...erm, yeah.That reminds me of the person who said I should name it Fellatio!) Anyway, thanks guys. I'll use some of your names for future fishies, I promise! The whole LLPJ thread is interesting. I don't think that she contracted vaginal thrush but rather oral thrush since she was licking railings. I definetely do not think she was taken from behind while licking those railings but then again, anything's possible! Besides if she had thrush down there she wouldn't have necessarily got it from some guy...it is more likely she got it through some other means like wearing pants that were too tight(maybe she's a bikie chick and wears tight leather pants?!), for example.(Before any of you ask how come I know so much about this, it is because I'm a frequent reader of girly mag problem pages, especially Cosmopolitan.) I think I've written quite enough on the topic now! :) Sarah D ______________________________________________________ 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: a simple way to go faster than light that does not work
by Walkn10＠aol.com 31 May '99

I had a very similar experience to the one you spoke of whilst trying to convince a jazz purist friend of mine to give B+S a chance. After listening to a few choice selections from TBWTA he claimed it was "Keith Curley music;" Keith Curley being our town's resident dirtball, quasi-hippy, wastrel. Needless I took particular offense to this. He said it sounded like they couldn't play very well together and that Struan sounded way too "gay" for him to be able to get into their music. He likes bands for very arbitrary reasons so I shouldn't have been suprised, but the fact that he could bash B+S so gleefully just really got under my skin. I don't mean to rant, but... I went to Ocean City, Maryland over the weekend to ostensibly relax and crash a few go-karts or something. Whilst wearing a wrinkled dress shirt under a grey woolen sweater with grey/green khakis and Chuck Taylor's, a drunken fratboy took time from his busy routine of being an ass to stagger over to me and call me "French." After spewing said "expletive" he drunkenly ambled away into the crowd leaving me and my friend to wonder when being French became an insult. I got a good laugh out of it though so it wasn't too bad. Apparently any evidence of tweeness (or Frenchness!) in American resorts is grounds for ridicule nowadays. I'm not even that twee really, I just the dress the part you could say. Some people...

Sinister: a simple way to go faster than light that does not work
by Spiral Stairs 31 May '99

31 May '99

hallo all on the converting friends to b+s thing: i tried to get one of my friends to listen to b+s, and after like a month of badgering, he finally agreed to. so, i brought the album over to his place [it was boy with the arab strap btw] and threw it on the record player for him... after like 5 minutes at most, he proclaims that it was "tree hugger music" and that i should go "hug some trees with the other hippies at some protest". incenced, i had to prove to him that i wasn't a hippie, or indeed a non-violent protestor, by beating him about the head furiously with the album cover. ok, so that last part wasn't true, but rest assured i gave him the frowning of a lifetime. of course he is a jazz purist [tm], so to him, if not miles davis, then utter crap. i of course, am the exact opposite :] if any of you have read the commitments by roddy doyle, you may remember a rant that joey the lips spews about jazz and a memeber of the band named dean, saying it corrupts people's soul, etc.; and at the end he blames miles davis... the funny thing is, the passage in the book perfectly describes my friend and his "corruption"; the kinda freaky thing is, both the character in the book and the friend in question are named dean... i'm sure there's an oliver stone conspiricy in here somewhere. well, either that or a scooby doo mystery, i'm not sure. latah/john "i can be settled down/and be doing just fine/ 'till i hear that old train/coming down the line." +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: B&S En Espa�ol
by jorge guerrero 31 May '99

31 May '99

Hello fellow B&Sers. I waited my time, reading all the wonderful mail i got in my in box everyday. i'm from mexico and we don't get that much B&S stuff over here, the only thing i could get was TBWTAS, so i'm kind of bummed. i wish i could get to go to all those wonderful concerts, and get to buy those B&S records, but sadly, i can't. Over here it is really easier to get a Smiths t-shirt than a record, but when it comes to B&S stuff, i can't get a DAM THING 'CAUSE THEY DON'T SELL STUFF OVER HERE, o.k. that was a good healthy rant. So i there's any B&Sers in southern california(EUA) please tell me 'cause i need my B&S stuff. Thanx... ______________________________________________________________________ Jorge Luis Guerrero Martinez winoinc(a)hotmail.com In My CD Player: Disintegration/The Cure, Black Celebration/Depeche Mode, Almost Here/Unbelievable Truth, Louder Than Bombs/The Smiths. ______________________________________________________ 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: Re: Caulfield and Prozac?
by Essexdog5＠aol.com 31 May '99

31 May '99

Interesting argument re: supression of the wider worldview via sedation (at least, that's the way I read it - forgive me if my interpretation appears glib). I suspect that in 'reality', Holden would have been sent to EST (or whatever the acronym is that Lou Reed went through - ECT? ETC? ET AL?). Holden in the '90s.... Lithium, I'd have thought, as opposed to Prozac. I did the doc administered anti-depressant thing and psychoanalysis too when I was about 17, and personally I think it helped. It certainly didn't stifle creativity. Having said that, my father still blames my depressive 'episodes' on having listened to too much Smiths. I think he blames my sexuality on that too. <g>. Nice poovetahsexual strand on the list, btw. Sorry, I know this is neither a Manics mailing list nor a Mail-A-Confessional service, so let's move on.... 1) The song in the B&S documentary ("You were always the queen of the disco - you're the Kellogs to my Nabisco" - sounds a tad like London Has Let Me Down Again)..... is this Rhoda?? Anyone? 2) Just seen Notting Hill. Slightly smilesome/feelgood, but ultimately vapid. And overridingly irritating. Now there's a shock. As for Costello's cover of Aznovaur's She - did he have to? 3) Re-read Franny & Zooey today. Salinger is very negative, innit? (LOL). Has anyone seen the film of Cocteau's Les Enfants Terrible? (possibly my favourite book along with The Secret History and various Auster 'tomes'). If so, should I seek it out, or will it kill my love of the novel? 4) I'm working on a new B&S convert - a fashion journalist/designer/stylist friend of mine who admired my Stow tee. I sold 'em too him as being kinda Simon & Garfunkel (well, he likes S&G). He's very prone to hearing music and saying "That would be GREAT for a catwalk show"... so if B&S pop up in Milan in three seasons time, it's probably my fault. Apologies in advance... Pip pip!
