Sinister: [sinister]: apologies and greater things
by COURTOLY＠aol.com 29 May '99

29 May '99

Dear Friends, I was hoping to make a worthy contribution of new news to the list when I mentioned the Evil Tamborines...but when I asked the boys about the dates with Looper one boy mumbled some thing about stubbornness and fighting before telling me that its not happening. I've also had my knuckles rapped for poor grammar too many times this quarter. If I make any horrendous mistakes please correct me in a private e-mail. I do need refreshers on this material. >dost tigermilk bars actually >exist? is that where the album name came from? If that is where the name came from it is probably in the archives. I can verify that tigermilk bars exist and I will gladly purchase them for people in the list in exchange for mix tapes. They are gross: honey stuff coated in carob, stale halloween candy. >I've just seen the saddest thing. A squirrel with no tail We ran one over in our schoolbus once. I was sitting in the backseat and as we pulled away the tail was smashed to the ground. The poor dahlin was still alive, fighting, scratching and scrambling to try to get away. >never met anybody that claims to have used one though. Rachel I know you are on this list and read my posts. This girl is the smuttiest of any girls I know and I'm sure she's had experiences with cockrings/arab strap if thats what it truly is. Now if you have questions on, um, personal massagers...I could help. On the bagpipe thread: I was walking to the post office via the K records building yesterday and right out front was an entire clan of Scottish bagpipers in kilts and everything. I suppose they were going to march down the streets of Olympia, but I kept on my way and didn't see where they went. >sleater-kinney show at the troc last night! (crying) Oh the Trocadero...I started going there six years ago...miss it even though I hate it. Off to find a bathing suit, oh my!

Sinister: a dose of smut, and why it sucks to be american
by Marie Elia 29 May '99

29 May '99

dearests... first, muchos hellos to new sinister folk, especially smutty steve c. who likes jawbox, and brad in knoxville (i got cousins down there!). so, i didn't realize that 1) so many people agreed about lazy jane's station in life 2) it would cause such conversation. about the thrush thing: ya, i looked it up in the dictionary, and it apparently is a childhood disease, but i had only heard it used in "real" life to refer to syptoms related to more, erm, un-innocent illnesses. so... why it sucks to be american: all these lovely things aired on brit tv, and i feel abandoned. at least with bowlie, i could console myself: well there are british folk who can't get there, and they're already there! but now all you have to do is switch on yr tellies, and there you go. i'll content myself with watching the "wicked" video on repeat..... squirrels: i, too, have seen squirrels without tails (in oxford, ohio, i think) -- it is a sad sight indeed. now i've got one question for you all: dost tigermilk bars actually exist? is that where the album name came from? and by the way, the girl who lost her b&s badge the day she got it is my dearest friend kimmy. she lost her belle-on-a-bike badge, but i said that if she wears her sebby-on-wheels badge, and i wear my bellebadge, we'll be like two halves to a whole, yin and yang. so, is the consensus that lazy jane (incidentally, my mum's nickname for me is Lady Jane) is, well, not so lazy? (or maybe she's tired from all that railing-licking....) here's a task: find the dirtiest of all of stuart's "characters" -- is it jane? or the track star? judy, who "did it with a boy when she was young"? the one who's having dreams in which s/he "couldn't see her face, but... everything else"? hmmm, perhaps this is a mite inappropriate.... good night, and sweet and dirty dreams to you all.... xo, marie _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Any sleeve spotters? (no B&S)
by Koen 29 May '99

29 May '99

Hi list, my apologies for wasting your time, but I'm competing in an online music quiz, and at the moment I'm struggling to hold on to my third place. It would help if I could get a flawless score this week, and right now I have almost all the answers but for some photos. The url to the photo page is http://users.skynet.be/volders/week0808/foto0808.htm The photos I'm having trouble with are the upper right one (a sleeve) and the one on the lower left (Sheryl Crow?). Thanks for your time and help (oh, I need to have the answers before noon CET), and I'll promise my next posting will be on-topic. Koen Ps. This is a repost, still had the old address in my adress-book :) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Hi list. Ailsa superstar wrote: > Colin Montgomerie (red-faced puffy Scottish golfer noted for coming > second in everything) was at my school for a year in the 70s, Yes, he's even coming second in the grumpiest golf-pro in the world- contest, just behind Jose-Maria "I've won the Masters but is that a reason to smile probably not" Olazabal. A golf pro I knew took pride in telling everyone that he frequently played rounds with Colin when he was young (I don't think they were friends, 'cos who is), and that "Monty" once screeched all over his car with his spiked golf shoes after a particularly bad round. He's coming from a rich family, you know. btw the golf pro was called Peter and could hit the lowest pitch shots I've ever seen. That was because he had worked in a golf club in Iceland once, and apparently the wind was very strong there. Golfers will see the connection. Jan Calibra from Viagra no that's a joke.

Sinister: franny and zooey/philly sleater-kinney show
by Arigreen23＠aol.com 29 May '99

29 May '99

hello all... franny and zooey, i read part of it-- i read franny and just a bit of the beginning of zooey. i do this with a lot of books. but i thought that franny was absolutely amazing. i bought my dad "raise high the roof beam" as a present once but i've yet to steal it from him. in school last year, however, we read "nine stories"-- i forget if this has been discussed on the list or not yet-- but if you like salinger or books at all it's definetely one you should pick up. on a second note-- sleater-kinney show at the troc last night! very very good. (hi julia) anyone here heard flin flon? i liked their songs that were so absurdly simple that they were complex, or something. and the drummer whose glasses kept falling down. mary timony was awesome, but had technical problems with the mike...sleater-kinney were great. 2 encores. and i saw a fella with a "sinister" shirt. so if you're here, hi there! adios. ari +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: hangover (b&s? not here..)
by Graham MacArthur 29 May '99

29 May '99

darlings, my question is WHY. In many forms WHY do i have to be doing an impression of the man from the goodfella's advert (ba da bing!) when the good looking person from the charity shop is standing behind me? WHY did i have to spill water on my face when someone i hadn't seen for ages bumped into me in the street? WHY did all the shops play the same euro rubbish when i went shopping today? WHY did i have to fall into a bush and scratch my arms last night? WHY did the washing machine shrink my favorite Snoopy vest? WHYWHYWHY I ask you. answers on a postcard please...

Sinister: i was building a space rocket
by ian 29 May '99

29 May '99

hello everybody i would like to start by saying that sarah cracknell has misled you all. i am not maltreating her and can only assume she says i am in order to gain attention. this morning i cooked her a lovely veggie breakfast and gave it to her while i fed my pussycats a lovely bowl of felix. she didn't appreciate it one bit. just sat and screamed something about being behind the wheel of a capri. anyway, tonight i'm performing as sarah c again. bob and pete have become close friends and are treating me almost as one of their own. which i suppose, to all intents and purposes, i am. i have almost perfected the hip shake although i'm still having some trouble getting the arm-waving correct. jessica, it was nice to see you. of course i waved at you. i LOVE my fans!!! anyway, onto a bit of b&s content: i think the noise at the end of "you made me forget my dreams" is the launch of the space rocket that the boy had spent all his time building. otherwise it just seems kind of..misplaced. on the llpj thread...and related to a misheard lyrics thread from a while back ("green cool and natural on the 45"...love it :)) i couldn't understand why she was licking railings. i asked my friend sam and she laughed at me. she told me the lyric was actually "licking raylene". which made a bit more sense. however, on watching stu's lips at bowlie, it is definitely railings. a shame, i prefered raylene. i think she was just licking railings because she was bored. jane strikes me as just a bored girl, all the time trying to find some interest in the life around her but in the end the only thing to do is fall asleep at the bus stop. also...my friend dean thinks jane is pregnant, and the "you will have a boy tonight/ you will have a girl tonight" part of the song refers to her giving birth on the bus. a pleasant image and a good twist to the song even if it turns out to be totally incorrect. now onto other stuff...jake said ~Don't know about those, but my friend works on a phonesexline, and I must ~say, the things she has to do via phone are quite... strange. Like clapping ~your hands for 30 min because it sounds dirty like she had to do a couple of ~days ago i never understood that one. call me innocent :) (you'd be wrong, but call me innocent anyway. it alliterates with my name at least). talking of strange requests....my friend works in a copying shop and the other day someone came in and asked her to photocopy her donated kidney tobiesoup said: ~and ummm, ~okay i give up, just what in god's awful name is an arab strap? well...have you ever heard of a cock ring? they are (so i'm told) placed around the penis and the base of the testicles...oh i sound like a biology teacher. you get it and you put it round your..erm, yeah, that, and also round the bottom of your..er..yeah, those. and it should keep the little fella up that little bit longer after you've had your fun. never met anybody that claims to have used one though. that's the same thing as an arab strap. matthew said: ~I met my boyfriend through the Sinister list. I do recall in ~#sinister recently, someone asking if it were a chatroom for Belle and ~Sebastian or gay boys. I believe the answer from a few of us was that it ~was both. well, i'm impresssed by the number of people that responded to what i said. i didn't actually mean "you'll have difficulty finding a gay bloke that's into b&s". i just meant "good luck with finding one". i have managed to convert my bloke to b&s. i didn't realise this fact until a couple of weeks ago when he admitted he listened to them quite a lot when i wasn't in. certainly the gender confusion in the songs appeals to me. unfortunately, i don't see them catching on on the gay "scene", which...well, you don't need me to tell you what gets played. but i'm going out tonight and expecting to hear celine dion at least twice. and probably be pissed enough to dance. other random things that come into my head..a slap for the person who slagged off jefferson airplane...remember what the doormouse said. a slap for the person who doesn't like hermann hesse. how dare you have your own opinion? a kiss for the person who was talking about grace jones, just because. cheese..roulade is the stuff with garlic in. i like white stilton with apricots, and norwegian cheese. jarlsberg is wonderful stuff. juniper, if you're reading...i shall look for your book recommendation. it sounds interesting. erm...there was more but its gone. so i'll follow its lead ohh...there's egg in the cat's bowl. i wonder if i gave them the veggie breakfast and gave sarah c the felix? she appears to have eaten it, either way. ian I said Timmy and that purple Monkey are all down at Bobby's house making themselves pesters and lesters and jesters and my traitors of kind" tori amos... +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: jarvis cocker is a liar
by Timothy Roberts 29 May '99

29 May '99

while every word alan warner writes is pure poetry ( just like stuart murdoch and, well, me) the bit about his books being full of good music is a LIE. while morvern callar has lots of groovy krautrock, these demented lands is mainly concerned with the verve. oh dear. and his favourite band of all time is superstar. this is bad. he even forced me to buy one of their records by recording a single with them. actually its no bad, but the b-sides with superstar on their own is back to the whiny drivel theyre renowned for. but go and buy the books anyway, they will give you strength, especially these demented lands. and his punctuation and grammer are a bit dodgy, just like mine, which i have decreed is A Good Thing. I dont suppose theres any point me recommending the shoe by gordon legge again, like i do every time youse start discussing books. PET NAME ALERT- the dog in its called dostoevsky. a book i read recently was bad wisdom by bill drummond out the klf and mark manning aka zodiac mindwarp. theres a quote by yer man cocker on the sleeve: "the truth, no matter how uncomfortable, cannot help but be beautiful. this is a very beautiful book." well 'beautiful' isnt the word i would have used. come to think, neither is 'truth'. how about "LIES, no matter how pornographic, cannot help but be vile. this is a very vile book." there you go, stick that on the next edition. why dont you all stop reading books and go and read my story out the sinister library. it didnt come out as well as i hoped, but i wrote it late at night and its about as honest as you can get. yeah, prose isn't really my medium. look! down there! a signature line! you should all go and visit the web page cause ive just spent a week ghost writing all the text for B-B-B-Ben, including the bits where i slag myself off. and my mother will have kittens when she sees the phone bill from him building it. just to start a bit of healthy interband rivalry, it pisses all over the roolz site. from a great height. 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".
