Sinister: eight miles shy
by robhalcrow＠lineone.net 05 May '99

05 May '99

Nervous? Me? Just a bit. This is my very first post so nervousness might explain the terrible Byrds pun of the subject. It's nice to read that Abi/Angel is a shy sort too. I call myself shy but I did manage to get to Bowlie and share a chalet with 2 complete strangers and 1 near one. Shy enough to see Jarvis and ignore him. At least I didn't abuse him as seemed to be the fashion that weekend. I also ignored Steve Lamacq. I would only have asked what exactly is "Boss Tuneage". Hate that. Carried a CD of my band around to give to John Peel but I never saw him. Was he even there? I sent it in the end. (If you hear him play Picturebox- then that's me!) Has anyone else sat in a rather sad manner poring over the I Saw You thing in the vain hope that someone might have fallen for them? No? Someone who I didn't see gave me one of those 2 and a half days....badges. I didn't have my glasses on. Probably just a random act of charity. Still never mind eh? Well that's more than enough from me. Please be patient. It's scary outside of the nursery. Love from Rob. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: ......he stumbled, blinking, into the light.
by Tigermilker . 05 May '99

05 May '99

So. I finally get to adress the peeps who have been clogging my email account for the best part of a month now. Stoppit! This instant! Or don't. Some of you are actually very interesting. Shared Bowlie memories in particular are nice. And now you will be subject to my abrasive manner and charmless way with words. Woohahahahaha! Speaking of Bowlie, did anyone elses cup of joy overfloweth when mogwai came onstage? Mine did. In fact, I nearly had an accident, right there in the front row. *Sigh* Memories, eh? Is that true about the imminent Tigermilk re-release being on the 8th of this month? Monsta. I won't have to suffer a grainy casette for much longer. I can enjoy a grainy CD instead. I think I shall have to practise more with my camera to achieve suitable results. I zapped away with a 40 and a 25 exposure film for the best part of Bowlie, with the high hopes of obtaining worthwhile results for my efforts. I was sorely disappointed to find that all of my 'camera-aloft-over-the-heads-of-the-heaving-crowd' efforts have supplied me with some rather nice piccies of the tops of peoples heads, but none of the bands. Such is life. Last of all, does anyone else think a stern letter needs to be written to the NME in protest at Mr Stephen Daltons rather negative views on the whole Bowlie-thang? You can just tell that whatever it had been like, he didn't want to be there, and would have found something to moan about anyway. What a cynical young man. Aaaaanyway. Ciao for nao. Tigermilker.

Sinister: the incredible sex-appeal of a kilt
by Arantxa Sanz 05 May '99

05 May '99

Apparently,I am developing a sixth sense to forecast what will be the hot topics on the list a few hours beforehand.Could this become a full clarvoyance and mean the end of my career as a (poor)academic? The thing is , talking about kilts on Monday ,talking about kilts this morning and when I checked my mailbox,smutty messages about men wearing this highly significative garment. Facts : I like kilts or better said,I like men in kilts,or even better said,I like men who I would like anyway when wearing a kilt most.I had never seen any man I like or dislike wearing a kilt in flesh and blood,but my imagination is extremely fertile. I never could work out why certain females reckon one of highlights of football matches is to see for once some male legs being worth to be contemplated in full length.Shorts and tracksuits and lycra bits in general are the most un-exciting way a guy can be dressed. Kilts have this romantic-Walter Scott side,I guess and the promise of ignoring about underneath content... Chris knew what he was doing when striking a pose on that cover,cool! xxx Arantxita +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: That Bowlie football tournament (slight return)
by ar981611＠student.paisley.ac.uk 05 May '99

05 May '99

Has anyone here seen the Camera Obscura message board, there is a message from someone saying that not only were Camera Obscura the best band at Bowlie but they won the football too. Do any of our mob want to go and stick up for our lads/slag off C.O.'s cheating tactics? If so, get yourself to: http://www.andmoresound.co.uk/messageboard/ and say something because I can't think of anything. Oh, and Big Stu said > (more Economy Tarts anyone?), which is no way to talk about Nick Dastoor in my opinion, even if he does behave like an inordinate slut for under a pound :) Wishing I had sold myself more effectively for a couple of listcrush votes, Ailsa xx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Live Bed Show (and MADISON, WI picnic)
by jennifer phillips-bacher 05 May '99

05 May '99

hello you pishrogues. for all of you ladies out there who are feeling a bit springy and wish to see ginger-haired boys "fresh as the day they were born" (tm susannah), check out this URL: http://www.arts.gla.ac.uk/EFL/Mag/TYS/tyscloth.htm Sandy looks the best after he removes his Fair Isle jumper. I didn't want to remove his kilt for fear of what lie underneath, but Satan doth tempt me, and goodness, did I like what I saw! Gentlemen, feel free to take a gander at Sandy, I'm sure he doesn't mind. And I'm sure you're all secure enough with your sexuality, that even if you do feel a twinge down under, you will celebrate the moment rather than berate yourself. Among the confusing items I found in this website is "English people think that all Scottish men are called JIMMY. This is wrong. Only Glaswegian men are called JIMMY. In the rest of Scotland, men are called ALEC (SANDY for short) or IAN". Can any of our scottish sinisteroonies attest to this? I demand that all of the male members of Belle & Sebastian heretofore be called Jimmy. Of interest to those of you in America's heartland, the Midwest, I am planning a picnic for May 22 in Madison, Wisconsin. Of course we welcome anyone not from the midwest, tis not exclusive. Even the English! harhar. The festivities will begin at 2 pm at Olin Park. Bring some food to share, any games, toys for show-n-tell, anything! Bring friends, too! Please don't be shy. I don't want to end up sitting in the park alone, okay? Rain activities may involve visiting a local pub, bowling, or playing Trivial Pursuit at my apartment. I'll send out a reminder when it gets closer to the date, along with a meet-up place. If anyone wants to email me privately, please do. And please come! We're a tidy little community here in madison, and we don't wish to be publicised, but ....anyway, it will be great fun. un bacione, jennpb xo +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: my "BORING" first post
by Francis Lovely 05 May '99

05 May '99

Hi, I'm Francesco from Italy, even if now I'm in London for a short period. I've been in this mailing list for some months in 1998 and now I'm back again, having more time to read messages. I think that everyone is really kind and "twee" in this mailing list, and I'd like to thank all of you for helping me not to feel alone. I've been to the pub in London the night before "bowlie week-end", and I'm sure I saw a lot of you, but I don't know anyone. I saw the pictures JJ put on the web and I recognised someone of you (even that king girl who asked me if she knew me). BTW, that night was really amazing, and all the people that played were really good. H. Williams played few beautiful songs, even if I missed "I'm in love with a girl who doesn't know I exist" (such a lovely title). The Jasmine Minks were a real surprise, because I used to love them and I dodn't even know they were going to play. Chris voice and his songs were stunning! And the duo that played first was good also. They played a cover of the Smiths and another wonderful cover (?) that I wasn't able to recognise. Respect goes to the Duke. Hope to see all of you again. Love, Francesco. >http://www.seahouses.u-net.com/bowlie/ Is there anyone of you in those picture? and who is who? ______________________________________________________ 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: THE FEAR
by Darren Savage 05 May '99

05 May '99

I have just returned from a four day Hockey tour in Amsterdam with some old freinds from University and my mind is in disarray. I shall not regale you with tales of the actual trip but I can assure you that no hockey was actually played. However, I was in Sainsbury's on Monday, a mere hour after landing, in order to purchase fruit and other health produce. Upon approching the bread section I started to get THE FEAR and I decided to pay for the items I had selected and return to the safety of my bed chambers. When I was paying for my shopping a woman with very pale skin and ginger hair was standing next to me. She wasn't actually doing anything but she began to unsettle me so much that I approached her and politely requested that she stand elsewhere as she was giving me THE FEAR. Fortunately she aquiensced and I felt safe again. When I got home my boss telephoned to say that someone pretending to be me had ordered 5K of fine wine using a made up job number and then drove off with them. This too gave me THE FEAR. I then went down stairs and this girl I am living with made some fruit tea for me which gave me THE FEAR. Ten minutes later a really nice girl who I met a couple of weeks before phoned me up and asked me out to dinner, this didn't give me THE FEAR. I then returned to the lounge and fell asleep, when I woke up the room was full of people and I got THE FEAR again. I'm ok now, but yesterday I was evacuated from London Brige Station and I was thinking that it was a good job that it didn't happen the day before otherwise I would have got THE FEAR. I am now safely ensconced in my office with 'The Spark that Bled' by the Faming Lips on the stereo and normal service has resumed. regards sav _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
