WARNING. Content level: zero. Length: endless From: "Keith Watson" <k.watson(a)cableinet.co.uk> >there's been a load of graffiti all over the subway by some bloke calling >himself "Cola boy i could be recalling incorrectly, but (JESS) doesn't emily's sassy lime do the song "Cola Boy" on a really old mix tape you sent me?? could be a connection. or not. IRRELEVANT BAGPIPE STUFF not that anyone cares. BUT there is extant in fact, a semi-reggae song wiht a bagpipe in it. scout's honor. "Dancing Pants'' the last track on Lida Husik's fine and fly album "fly stereophonic" has the most groovy reggae beat.... AND a big ole bagpipe solo at the end. i never thought it would happen, check it out. i swear on the silver trousers it's true. one of the many Matthews/Marks on the list (ok it's a matthew of the hintz varietie) said the following > realize the difference. Turn Isobel upside down and she might sing > better. Yeah well. i almost took the bait. but i'm not gonna fall for that again. "ooh we better run little Lesley Jo's comin after us for insulting the Goddess Isobel!!!" <hehe> this is blatant geek-baiting and i demand a stop to it! oh yeah and stop being mean to isobel or you'll end up wit tha sticky end of the lollipop!! <satanic, yet compellingly innocent, grin> here is a random thought i had whilst chatting wit tha FLY MOMMA christa if yer nasty chaffinch. It's a good thing that stuart murdoch is not evil. if he were, he would use his saintly charisma to horrid ends. I'm seeing some sort of cult. he just looks straight into your eyes with the gentlest expression of christlike graciousness, and tells you that you need to put on your green leisure suits, black nikes and bite a cyanide tablet NOW before the cows who created the world come back to make the streets flow with the blood of the nonbelievers. and YOU would believe it!! (moron.!) He has an inherently honest demeanor. i think he could probably pull it off. it's fortunate for the world that he uses his powers for good and not evil, and instead of starting cults he smashes his guitars to channel his anger in a way that causes no harm to those around him. what a sweetie. Hello to marie elise<sweetie>in pittsburgh. it's too bad you didn't get inot the warhol. you missed the room of floating silver balloons, and the most comfortable f-ing couch EVER invented. god knows. Go there. you'll want one. I promise. you'll wanna hav ea big girly sleepover right there in the room that is covered with technicolor cow heads!! can anyone vouch for me? In related news i have a warhol related thingy on the mummy page. WELL i think it's funny, but i'm lonely enough to crack myself up on a regular basis. B&S should play a gig at the Warhol sometime. in the balloooon room. they could all dress up funny and isobel could color her hair silver and get strung out on speed..... uh oh yeah. NAMING OF FISH I'm good at naming fish. my fighting fish is named Pyramus. the one befor ehim was Samson. and before that i had fish named Jarvis, Harriet, Polly, Anneli, Bernard, Carla, Thom..... acutally when i was in HS i named all my fish after suede, and i named a snail Simon. i was a sad git. my friend kato named her fish after Blur. i dont' recommend that though. if i got fish now i'd probably name them all after b&s according to their personalities. -- NO. here is the name you can use. Bozo Whiskey. my brother wanted to name a goldfish Bozo Whiskey once when he was like 5 years old. i think it's a good idea. that is my recommendation. i tho't the roolz web site was a joke. i should have known. /B) where are the Real Audio samples?? lyric archives for their oh so deep teen throbbin and thrustin grooves? Boy bands are SOO passe. we have a girl group. and we no tender young things. we're a badass garage girl group who can kick the ass of any pretty boy band. and we're all on Sinister. it's Me, Jess and Christa: AKA The Buxoms. we rock yer world with our upcoming seven inch on pink glittery vinyl entitled "Indie Rawk Bathroom". and the chorus goes like this: "Barbara Manning Peed here!! AUUUUGH!!!" <then rocking out ensues> straight outta Le Chat Noir, we come to take your daughters!!. AND we have tambourines, and a plastic blowy thingy that looks like a melodica, so you KNOW it's all good. can i get an AMEN?? Personal news: skim over if you're squeamish, or if you have a life.---- i'm very very pleased. i got a single residence room with PRIVATE BATH in my residence hall assignment. there will be some sinister partying down in the valley of the sun come August. (you know, really wussy girly twee hello kitty pink polkadotted partying) no roommates!! so i can bring all my Fine Ho's over and no one will complain. and put little pictures of sarah and isobel all over the wall and do whatever i want. even be in my own room, unclothed and not have to worry about anyone walking in. it feels GOOD. i'm stocking up on twee tapes for the long summer drive. anyone on the way inbetween, if you hear the gentle waves blaring out of a gold volkswagen sedan, just wave gently and wonder........who was that idiot? MMMMMM i think art girl has a crush on me.<3 a little BIRD told me. life is good in some ways. "I knew she wanted it!" that's right, and i'm planning to give it to her. *OH!* ba-dump CHING! I'll be here all week at the Copa Cabana. you're so kind. sorry all that was a lot of crap and i wasted your time. it's like 2 AM and my car is in the shop so i'm stir crazy and doped up on vegetable protein fake hamburgers. with no where to go. waiting to hear from my desert flower. i'm going to bid all of you good night with apologies for this. i can't wait till i get to tempe. anyone Sinister is invited to crash at my pad, dude. if the sebbies ever tour the west coast, isobel can crash with me, if stuart is getting pissy again that is. it's all cool man. we'll listen to Phish and all that funky s***. Kill me now. Kisses to honey the beatific mummy/sisterwoman.

Re: Sinister: franny and zooey
by Walkn10＠aol.com 29 May '99

I don't know about it being better than Catcher, but it is surely a worthwhile, enjoyable read. Franny is quite interesting but not altogether a great story, but Zooey is fantastic. They're not as immediately engaging and intimate as Catcher, so maybe you can't really compare them, plus they're written in the third person whereas I always felt Salinger worked best in first person. If you really want to read a great work of Salinger's, I always liked "Raise High the Roof Beam Carpenters," I thought that was almost on par with Catcher. It was written alot like Catcher only without any smut and with a well-to-do army man as the protagonist rather than a disaffected teen. It's the part of the Glass legacy dealing with Seymour's wedding, which I guess would place it as first in the series. I hope this helps and I must say it quite enjoyable being able to finally discuss old J.D. with so many people as he has always been a fave. I look forward to other people's interpretations of F&Z Steve PS- Isobel really digs F&Z for whatever thats worth. She seems much smarter than I so maybe you should take her word for it. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: you made me frget my dreams
by Mike Jones 29 May '99

29 May '99

aloha everyone. i was just given my voice on the list. rah! with everyone trying to use their decoder rings to decipher lazy line painter jane, i have a simple question with, perhaps, a not so simple answer: okay...i was wondering if the bit of disco babble at the end of "you made me forget my dreams" is supposed to be some sort of silly joke by either chris or stuart d...or anyone else fr that matter. the reason i ask is because when my girlfriend was listening to llpj for the first time, the disco babble came on and it scared the shit out of her because its rather unexpected and it gets a bit loud right before it cuts off, especially with a pair of monstrous over-the-entire-ear headphones. i felt, as a service to my sweet angel, i'd find out who was responsible fr the disco babble. once she knows all shall be forgiven and forgotten. if anyone knows, i'd be very greatful. i soak up the splendidly warped sounds of os mutantes as i get sinister fr the first time. aloha, mike j adrock(a)netrom.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Scottish Book Club
by Pamela Hutchinson 29 May '99

29 May '99

Hello sinister reading people I forgot to mention the most important author. The veritably scottish Alan Warner and his incredible novels Morvern Callar, These Demented Lands and The Sopranos and all his short stories. MC is the best, though. Lots of good alternative music in his stories as well, although as far as I can remember he has never namechecked B+S. I can't help feeling they're next, even though he lives in Spain and is into dance music. His novels are very good at portraying young girls and lots of spirituality and sex and bad behaviour - which is, I think, and this is not just a Honey-pleasing tenuous link, something he has in common with B+S lyrics, don't you? love pamela Who remembers Chorlton and the Wheelies but thought she was insane cos no-one else that she speaks to ever does. Was it a Granada thing? +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

I've just seen the saddest thing. A squirrel with no tail! And big, bushy tails are the best thing about squirrels. I wonder what could have happened to him (or her). It's almost as sad as the one-legged seagulls I sometimes see hopping about. I have also turned two people into belle&sebastian heads, my best friend and my sister and i'm working on my partner in crime at the moment. Must go cry for all the poor animals with missing limbs now, juniper +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: One more of us, one less of them!
by william robertson 28 May '99

28 May '99

I've done it. I've converted one of my mates (who shall remain nameless) into liking B&S. Before, he was into drum'n'bass and other dance stuff, but he says B&S are the first 'guitar' band he has liked since the 80's. I knew he would like them and I've been trying to give him a shot of TBWTAS for ages but he kept saying "I don't like guitar music anymore". Anyway, about a fortnight ago he finally accepted it and he was on the phone tonight asking for a shot of more B&S stuff. It's good to 'spread the word' and I think if everyone on the list MADE one of their friends like B&S it would see a big increase in the number of fans. And then if they made one of their friends like them, and then they made one of their friends like them......well you see where I'm going here. There's not been any jokes for a while so here's one I heard at college today:- A guy goes into a bar and asks for a pint. He drinks it and asks for a second, and then throw's it away. He asks for a third and drinks it. He asks for a fourth and throws that one away too. He asks for a fifth and drinks. The barman asks why he is doing this and he says:- "I enjoy the odd pint" (boom boom) Willy. (sorry, I know it's a crap joke) __________________________________________________________________ Get your own free England E-mail address at http://www.england.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: uhhhh...ok
by Walkn10＠aol.com 28 May '99

28 May '99

For those keeping score at home, you can add my name to the list of newbies/mailer virgins. I'm Steve and I live in Baltimore, Maryland, and if I wasn't this warped upon birth the city more than took care of it. I'm 19, play drums, worship F. Scott Fitzgerald and "sleep the clock around" whenever possible. On the not so twee side of the coin, I like to drink (especially hard cider), I am infatuated with Gillian Anderson and the majority of the thoughts coursing through my head on a daily basis are smut. Other than B&S, I really dig Jawbox, Weezer, the Beach Boys, Wilco and brunettes. I'm trying to convince a friend of mine to travel with me to All Tommorrow's Parties but being the stubborn ghett that he is, he wants to know who is playing. "Playing?" I ask him. "Playing? Cmon man thats the least of your worries! Isobel Campbell will be there...is this not enough?!" But he again reitierated that without knowing who's playing he doesn't want to pay $1000 to fly to England because he needs money for "college" or something like that. Blah, blah blah...lazy sod. Can anyone give me a hand here? I'm only aware that Pavement and the Gentle Waves are going to be there, so if anyone else knows of any bands other than these, please fill me in. I would be appreciative to the highest order! To kick a few dead horses (I'm like that): For the reading list thread, I highly recommend anything by Mark Helprin, a writer of astounding beauty and clarity (especially A Soldier of the Great War). Alot of what he writes seems to reflect alot of the images and themes in old Struan's lyrics, so give it a quick read and see what you think. Dr. Pepper I do not like warm, but somewhat fancy whilst chilled. Its higher than root beer in my heirarchy of beverages, but slightly below Mountain Dew. The Dr.'s evil twin Mr. Pibb is a bit sweeter but lacks "the Dr. Pepper kick" so I only drink it in the most dire of situations. Anyone who desires warm Dr. P is clearly a fan of Steps and needs to be thrashed. Thank God for catholic school girls Steve C. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

I've been investigating. You all thought that the 'Overlords' were watching us and discussing our pitiful movements. But no, things are far more serious and sordid than that. Proof, if proof need be, at: http://www.seahouses.u-net.com/sos.jpg Don't look if you are a small child and are easily offended by shocking things.

Sinister: [sinister]: and very small...
by COURTOLY＠aol.com 28 May '99

28 May '99

I do respect Honey's reminder to keep the list conversations about B&S instead of just BS...so I will keep the B&S chatter at the top of my e-mails. I ate a Tigermilk bar at the theater a few nights ago. It tastes like stale Halloween candy. Not worth $1 in my book. I would like a name for the Northwest Meet-Up on June 27th (reminder!). Any suggestions? Where The Summer Goes? Looper will be playing some dates with Subpoop (whoops, I mean, Subpop) band mates The Evil Tambourines. I've been listening to my promo copy of their CD Library Nation that will be out in July. Loops and samples, fun hip-hop (think 80's style yeah all right!). Al Larsen (of Some Velvet Sidewalk) "raps" on a few tracks, and Lois Maffeo (of The Lois and Courtney Love) sings. I initiated a record shop owner in Olympia to the lovely sounds of B&S today. I was looking at records and someone (shame shame!) and sold their copy of TIJAMRS. John had never listened to them, but put on the record and made kind comparisons to the Velvet Underground before flipping it over to the second side. He was still listening to it as I left the store. >In other news, did you know you can get your star wars name by taking >the first 3 letters of your first name, the model of your car and the >last thing you got prescribed from the doctors. Which makes me Cou Corolla of Nizoral... >While we're on the subject: >am I the only one who enjoys getting my ears flushed with warm water? >It's kinda lika a fetish for me. Yes! As a gal with chronic ear problems I have to say this is my favorite office routine. Other options include burning ear drops and sharp instruments poking in delicate areas. Its not quite a fetish, but when they tell me they're going to flush out my ear it makes me relax a lot more than when they simply wield pointy metal things in the direction of my ear drum. >about the sinister photo page: hmph. not only does sultry courtney have >boobs, she also has a strawberry tattoo in a provocative place. i'm afraid i >can't compete with that. Blush..okay i promise to scan a more acceptably twee photo in soon...please imagine me in black glasses with a brunette Louise Brooks haircut...but those photos do match up with my libido and I will not hesitate to initiate spin the bottle at the NW BS Meet-Up.
