Re: Sinister: A boring Iain post
by Honey 19 May '99

Shouldn't you all be working? I've got a couple of mails from Iain and a sackful of opinions on this whole thing which I won't have a chance of replying to before the millennium bug brings Sinister down anyway, so thanks to everyone for taking time to let me know. For Sinister archivists who care about these things, Iain tells me that was a bit hacked off with the list and B&S-y fan things, wasn't getting much out of the list anymore "so I thought bugger it" and sent it. He always expected to be kicked off. He was happy for me to pass this on. I have to say of all the private mails I've received since I asked, every single one seems to be in agreement with what happened. I know a small minority of people have expressed surprise on the list, but would that make it therefore very churlish of me to try and draw a line under it now? I therefore (gasp) declare the matter closed and hope that brings a collective sigh of relief rather than a constitutional crisis and midnight arrest. I'm also fully aware that this episode goes down as one of the few times we've become more like some other lists and disappeared up our own backsides, so a personal opinion: we probably don't need a slew of "what the heck was all the fuss about?" mails and murmurings about everyone being too precious. Sometimes you just have to go through things if you can't go around them, although I know that applying that to the backside metaphor isn't pleasant. If you'll pardon the expression I tried to nip all this in the bud and failed. Trying to again now please help :) Can we just say that the Church of Sinister is like the Church of England, a broad church, but without the laughable costumes? The evangelical wing of P!O!P!sters who declare "pop is politics, politics is P!O!P!" and are big fans of Lene Zavaroni; the high church anglican fucking hard boys who get pissed at the altar on communion wine and kick the choirboys up the arse and hold their heads down in the font; the methodist twee kids who hide in the vestry, whispering to anyone who passes how they missed a bus yesterday and it made them cry, and try to get the vicar's autograph in their Hello Kitty notepad; and the agnostics and atheists who sit in the pews incredibly quietly, listen to the music with glazed eyes and a little enchantment but run like hell after the service is over in case the bloody vicar comes to talk to them. And I'm not a sectarian and you're all equally welcome. There, I've insulted everyone. You may not be the same as your neighbour in the pew but it doesn't mean they're faking. Oh hell, Nick and Ailsa said it better than me. Maybe now we can get back to the important issues of high debate. What does everyone think of B&S hairstyles? That was a joke, by the way. I'm off for a lie down.

Sinister: sometimes my head hurts, and its not my own fault/fashion.

So >look out for more ads staring twee cardigan wearing >poetic types. Twee cardigan wearing poetic types? Hmm, thats a bit like me. On the outside, i mean. Inside im a mess. No, that falls under the "poetic type"-section. Hmm. What I'm wearing now: a black t-shirt and blue jeans. What I'll be wearing when I go home: my boxers shorts, 'cause it's stinking hot in here and the sun shines straight to my flat. The only problem is that I have such huge windows that someone can propably stare right in and see me sitting there watching Seinfeld that's on tonight on channel 4. Well, it's their loss. On to some B&S related stuff now. Bummer, I was supposed to go out and buy that Gentle Waves album yesterday, but they had sold all the 2 copies they had. Now I have to wait for about 2 weeks to get it. Well, got "Beethoven was deaf" for 30 marks (about 3 pounds), so it wasnt a complete waste of time. Should buy that dEUS too. And now for some culture. Any books you good suggest me? I went to the library yesterday and stood for about 20 minutes in the "english fiction" isles but could not find anything to read. Coupland I've been through, also Banana Yoshimoto (btw, I read that Amrita and it got a bit boring in the end) and Nick Hornsby. So theres my list of "oh-I'm-so-in-with-the-genX-writers-although-its-out-these-days-give-me-more". Any suggestion what I should pick up the next time? And I find it very irritating that you lot write so much in here. Takes about an hour every day of my work time to go through your posts. Oh well, wednesday today, so I'm going out. Weehee, parteee. @--->--- jace le petit. ______________________________________________________ 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: AWFUL
by Darren Savage 19 May '99

19 May '99

I used to drink Dr Pepper occasionally but then they commissioned one of the most utterly appaling ads I have seen for quite some time. It has even usurped most of the McDonalds ads as advertising travesties. It is not the fault of the agencies though, it is the fault of the brand owner for allowing such nascent Americanised drivel to be signed off. I hope sales plummet drasically. On a more B&S note, I recently bought a lovely new machine for my guitar that can make it sound like anything from a chainsaw on fire to a swan floating on a mill pond. It really is a smashing piece of kit. However I have so far failed to find how to play a Century of Fakers on the web so if anyone knows the appegio tab it would be ace of you to send it to me. Also through consistent playing of B&S songs in the office (mainly sinister) I believe I have instilled more sensitive values in the creative department. So look out for more ads staring twee cardigan wearing poetic types. cheerio _____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: PROPS to my homegirl genevieve, keepin it real on tha sinister tip AWW YEAH
by rebelstrange＠ldd.net 19 May '99

19 May '99

GENEVIEVIE! says, like a true Sybil: (not the multi-personalited ones, but the prophetic version) >this whole pink cardigan fluffy kitten image is bad,but the other end of the spectrum is just as dreadfully boring."badasses" with no fear who only talk about a)latest "wild" drug adventures b) rebellious sex adventures c)their syphilis and being bloated on a toilet >...can get pretty lame as well. well what do we have here since i've been gone. and it's genevieve with the voice of righteousness. babe. you're making me cry here! stop it. preach on sister woman. No. this gets me, and hard. what's all that about trying to make ourselves appear tough? what is so WRONG about liking pretty music? it doesn't define your whole being. as for me--i'd prefer to be on the side of the fluffy cardigans and hello kitties, when what we've got otherwise is really twice as tiresome, if you're gonna take it as some sort of gospel. at least the other way you can be nice to each other.....and not have to be self conscious. i use all small letters, you knwo why? cos i'm a crappy typist and lazy to boot. BOO to anyone who is so stuck on themselves and how other ppl see them, that they freak out if anyone intimates they like fuzzy critters and flying kites. you can have yr jack daniels AND listen to MaryJo and bawl like a baby. i dont' see why the two are mutually exclusive. and who cares anyway. be yourself for god's sake. is it SO hard? HEY OH to the SW posse--tom and erin and anyone else. as i've just received my admissions letter and so WILL in all likelihood be migrating to Tempe this august. maybe i shall see you all sometime oui?? i'm very glad that i wasn't at a B/S show, for once in my life. i think if i'd witnessed the tantrum in Dublin i'd probably have been inconsolable. it bothers me in a very real sense when people around me are in a bad mood--eithe rmad or sad. i probably would have cried, or at least been very upset for the rest of the night. eek. let's just hope it was refreshing and cathartic to stuart, and that whatever it was got fixed up. i know when i'm pissed off i have the urge to throw and break thingsj--i just usually don't, because i love my guitars too much. i throw the remote control, or a pillow or something. not really too satisfying. once i got mad and accidentally shattered a glass against my wall. now THAT was some good venting. i've just had the luxury of hearing the gentle waves gig in london thanks to special people in my network of confidantes. it's so lovely. it makes me feel good. it's like a musical version of st johns wort, or whatever...it just washes away all your worries, like sesame street. and the kinky love doesnt' exactly hurt, either. i found myself thinking there should be a whole album of kinky love....like the 'bel version of Barry White. then i realized that would be pretty perverted. as my friend said "she sounds like she's five years old" enough said. i am filled with shame. *SIGH* tiggermilk yes. i had a tigers milk bar today. everyone should try them. they'r emade in salt lake city!! a Jehovahs witness was at my house today. she was a really nice older lady, she didn't stay long, so i didn't mind. it made me smile. maybe i'm just a twee fucker. OOPS! in other news that no one cares about, i GOT THE DIGITS. yes it's going to be summer fun in a beat up datsun, for art girly and MOI. i did it. i made the crush tape, i delivered, i kept the pressure on, i dressed to impress. and she's hooked this time. sinister love baby. photo jenny gets em every time. okay. i love all of you right now, because life can be good now and then when you get accepted to college, and your lust object smiles at you like Lady and the Tramp before they suck up that last string of linguini, you know what i'm talking about. well i love ALMOST all of you, we won't be too hasty. and i love my mummy. i need one right now. you shouldn't be too hard on mummy, bobby. think of al the things she does for you. she makes you dinner. she washes your clothes. she wiped your ASS when you were droooling all over the place and had nothing better to do than play with your muchrod. she put you in this world, and she can TAKE YOU OUT!!! badaBING. as has already been demonstrated. Mick is the coolest in a kilt. LJ http://www.members.tripod.com/rebelstrange The boat that brings us here will crack beneath your weight. This is territory you cannot invade.

Ian says: 'smuch better to just let the cosmos flow from your fingertips and not stem the tide with a shift button. its not just a matter of laziness, typing lower case is your cosmic responsibility. the universe demands it. yeah. he said cosmos. Where are the lefthanders, the flatfooters, and the open-mouthed, and those with mismatched pairs of socks to proclaim their alliance with said cosmos? By the way, I keep trying to push the shift key, but it doesn't always want to obey me. maybe the keyboards (of the world unite!) are trying to tell me something. nothing b&s related here. lovelorn (isn't lovelorn a great word?), Cynthia _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

I am just off to the list crush page to see if I can slip in an extra list crush vote for Ailsa Ross, and I suggest you all do the same. Her defence of the list was fantastic - if any of you couldn't be bothered to read it, shame on you, go and take a look. Especially our friend from Bangor.

Sinister: sinister:re:sinister:Let's 'ave it!
by Paul Laird 19 May '99

19 May '99

Hi all, it's been a long time, Keith said > I >disagree that it's the case that the truth hurts though, most people I've >met on this list certainly don't conform to the stereotype, but then that's >why I found Ian's post funny, it's just taking the piss out of a pretty much >non-existent stereotype. I must say I was in stitches - I imagine a he put a lot of effort into crafting it, 'though I also have to agree with Honey in that I think it was piss-taking with barbs on. Personally, not conforming to any of the stereotypes it's easy to stand well back, and I think most of us listees have pretty thick skins anyway. Where I got slightly concerned was with poor Ian's view of everyone else. I got the impression he feels just about everybody's 'faking it' in some way - which only made me feel a wee bit sorry for the poor lad. 'Nuff of this shite anyway. Why don't we get back to blabbing about the usual subject stuff, such as the uncontainable euphoria of finally finding a tune you've been searching for for a few months - which leads me straight on (unsubtle, eh?) to my discovery in Fopp Records today of semi-bootleg CD featuring Johnny Jones & The Kings Northern Soul cover of 'Purple Haze'- a (Hendrix beating) stomper of titanic proportions. Mind you we could yap about that band Belle and Sebastian instead. Bye, The Lairdster.

by Fox in the snow 19 May '99

19 May '99

Hello!!:) I just want to let people know that a picnic was organised for Montreal, on May 22nd ( this coming Saturday) at parc lafontain , near the lake as we've been told there's one ( I have no idea on that because I'm not from Montreal). Well if you're willing to come that'd be nice to email me telling me cos I'd like to know about how many people are coming so I can plan a birthday cake for the number of people we will be ( yes it'll be the birthday of a sinisteree;)). Well let,s hope the weather will stay nice and bring whatever you feel like bringing: blankets, kites, food ( of course) and maybe guitars but I think some people are already bringing that! :) Hope to see some of you there on Saturday! cheers, Karolyne ______________________________________________________ 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: I'll have it, thanks
by Pulpbot＠aol.com 19 May '99

19 May '99

Kids, Frankly, this hand-wringing debate following the ihamil post scarily reminds me of my group therapy (not a fact I'd normally broadcast, but what the heck). Whenever someone in the group is critical or angry or (gasp) bored, a roiling internal debate is ignited: are we too critical? are we not critical enough? what motivated the criticism? is the group in a fallow period? This is familiar, perhaps. The typical consensus is that my group is too nice, which isn't a good thing. But then we're all paying big bucks to feel sad about our parents divorce or whatever. This list, on the other hand, is beholden to no such purpose. I think people are too polite here, but this is also the most interesting, personality-jammed list I'm on, so go figure. Other lists crawling with jackasses are far more boring for some reason. I think I'm losing sight of the point. Oh yeah, you all owe my 60 dollars. Thanks. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
