Sinister: so off-topic it stings your eyes.
by weejay 04 May '99

04 May '99

I see you've all been to the list crush site then...? Poor jess, you're all parasites. Or five of you anyway. I couldn't decide who to vote for this time, you'll all have to try and persuade me. Or just anonymise and vote for yourself. Please don't vote for me, though, it's just *SO* embarrasing, I have to keep a low profile you see, so just stop invading my privacy and sending me unsolicited mail will you please? Huh, the price of fame isn't worth it. I never wanted to be famous, I'm just doing it for art's sake. I've been screwed by the industry, honey. I'll see all your asses in court. Annnnnnyway.... haven't written in a while, no. Stuff.. happening... yes. Hmmmn. Managed to have a good time, no, the best time ever on Saturday despite sunburn, a headache and approaching sunstroke. And a nice american girl tried to chat me up (probably) in a nightclub in bournemouth but fluffed it big time ("you look like the tin man from the wizard of oz" isn't the best chat up line ever but wins big originality points) and ran away. Saw her again later but, well, what do you say? Damn my luck. Also met a character called Jamie who claimed to have tigermilk on CD but described it as having 4 pictures, warhol-style on the cover, so I told him it was a bootleg. We played the 'stop the car next to an old man and stare at them until they say something then speed off' game, very silly and immature and stereotypically studenty but it was fun at the time oh yes. Sorry, this is all completely irrelevant isn't it? I think I should go now. xxx weejay. Blue Glow is now at http://diskant.future.easyspace.com/blueglow/ (This network is as sick as a dog.

Sinister: where are the keys?
by Arantxa Sanz 04 May '99

04 May '99

Hey,I also have lost my key,or better said,the KEY.It has the magical power of opening all the doors in our department,and such a mistake is fined with 25 quids...Maybe there is some spell on all the Sinisterines attending Bowlie,probably thrown by some Witch green with envy and jealousy and all our keys will start to vanish from our pockets and wallets. Does someone know any remedy? Fluffy,every Spanish kid is tought some time a very useful sort of nursery rhyme for such a case which says 'Donde estan las llaves, matarile rile rile?' in the chorus.That's it 'Where are the keys,mmmm,mmmm?@ Maybe if we would all sing along that the spell would get smashed into pieces Only four days for official Tigermilk re-release?Was it on 8th ,isn't it? how many copies will be edited this time? xxxx Arantxa +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Has anyone seen my keys?
by funkyseb＠freeuk.com 04 May '99

04 May '99

Not a "witty" post about the relevance of locks, or indeed musical pitches, in regard to sinister, Willy Wonka, and the late, great Oliver Reed. I have lost my keys. Has anyone seen them? People at the picnic are most likely to have done, though if any clairvoyants on the list want to help, feel free to mail me. I want to go to bed. :-( I can't focus my eyes, and my mouth smells like the spread eagle's crotch. 2 more hours of work....... +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: I'm Small Boy Black
by Mark Casarotto 04 May '99

04 May '99

Well hello there, I am suffering from a terrible and tedious hangover thanks to the picnic yesterday - shame on you Trousers for letting me nick your beer, it hasn't done me any good at all you know. I feel a bit embarrassed, particularly for Pam, Steady Mike, Sarah and list slut Nick D. who had to put up with me swaying and swearing through a Vietnamese (sort of) meal. Good picnic though, specially the football, natch - I am wandering around like a martyr with a buggered hamstring today - nothing I like more than a bit of self-pity in front of 1,000 people...Thanks to Mike for the massage, and shame on you Alix & Erica for refusing to rub my thigh of sex... I don't really have anything to say - I have just read the last four digests in one go, and I feel very warm towards you all (almost :) ). I was talking to Sinister's very own David Batty, Sam Norman yesterday about clubby things, and we made lots of positive noises about doing a one-off club night thing in the near future. Sadly, my collection of reggae and northern soul records stretches to a Congos album, a couple of Blue Note compilations and some utterly fantastic tapes my mate Robin made me, but I'm sure you'd have a good time regardless, honestly. A big hand for the welcomest return of stayluckyRory to the fold over the last few weeks - where have you been, you big goose? I'm tired and I want to go to bed. Boo.

Sinister: The International Language of Wodka
by mctag＠bigfoot.com 04 May '99

04 May '99

Dearest Beloved, I've been out of circulation for a bit. What can I say? I've been busy busy, adjusting to this new life of mine. Keen viewers will be delighted to hear that Wumpkinny has got herself a job. A job in the glitzy world of Showbiz, no less. So that's good. Anyway.... Frankko said: >- -All swedish girls are easy. Have no idea about that one, but I doubt it. >Been to those Helsinki-Stockholm-Helsinki cruises (48 hours or partying) >quite often, so I should know, though. Ah, the Helsinki-Stockholm ferry. Such memories. Actually, no memory at all. I was warned before I travelled that it would be wise to shut myself away in my cabin after the first hour, because these Vikings like to drink, especially in International Waters. Unfortunately, In my cabin was a 900 year old American who was explaining how exactly much he hated Finland, to a Finn with a humungous moustache (which covers 45% of the population, I guess). After a while, the American left, at which point the Finn turned to me and said "Good. The stupid Yankee has gone. We must drink wodka now", and poured me a pint of Finlandia. And another....and another. We became firm friends, despite me knowing half a dozen words of Finnish, all of them filthy, and him having learned English from John Wayne. Sadly, he decided to go ballroom dancing on the upper deck leaving me to wander the ferry making a complete and utter arse of myself in front of several hundred bemused passengers. Genevieve said: >i still have a strange suspicion i`m not hearing the REAL bowlie facts. You certainly haven't. All these earnest recollections of picnics and football matches and there hasn't been the vaguest inkling of the glorious debauchery and sordid antics of various Sinisterines (other than a few allusions to Sting's magic tantric wanking theramin). You want to know EXACTLY what Chris Leonard and Nick Dastoor will do for a pound. You want to know what Rachel asked my ex-flatmate to do to her. You want to know the identity of the part-man, part-horse creature loitering round the gents, and asking shagging couples if he could watch. You want to about the wanton exhibitionsim in the adventure playground behind the T-shirt stall. But I'm not going to tell you. It's your own fault for not going. I can, however, tell you that I got my photo in Melody Maker, which somehow makes me feel closer to Tim "Pinteresque" Hopkins. And here, in time honoured fashion, and in no particular order, is my Bowlie moments top ten: 1 The first Roolz show, an impromptu affair featuring just me and Joss, in front of an audience of two. Imagine what we can with a few rehearsals. 2 The funk soul rabbit. 3 "It's a big pile of chocolate arse" - Keith "Barry Norman" Watson on Willy Wonka. 4 Tim Hopkins telling me exactly what Exeter fans shouted at Hartlepool. 5 "The Horn" 6 Keith's Frank Spencer impression, which sounds uncannily like Roland Rat Superstar. 7 Several spontaneous Cockney knees-ups, all featuring a medley of "Turtle Power", "Parklife" and the theme from "Auf Wiedersehen, Pet" 8 Trousers asking me in an archly post-modern fashion for "More than a feeling" at the Betsy Trotwood, little knowing I'd already cued it up, but dancing like a rockbeast anyway. 9 Warrander John cooking his tea dressed as a gorilla. 10 Wumpkinny's face throughout Belle and Sebastian's set, worth the admission price alone. It's been emotional.

Sinister: Exciting new opportunity to waste time
by Nick Dastoor 04 May '99

04 May '99

I think the new Altavista Photo & Media finder at http://image.altavista.com/ is very good. Try typing names of your favourite pop stars into the box and seeing what comes up. My search for Stuart Murdoch yielded a fat man in swimming trunks pleasuring himself with a hose pipe.

Sinister: first post
by Jon 04 May '99

04 May '99

well, i've been a good boy and read all (most) of the messgaes while sitting in the nusery, and at last i've got a voice, only to have to leave this friday because the first year of uni is nearly over and iam going home to revise for my exams. i really don't fit in here at this university thing, ok picture this. sitting in a large room full of computers surrounded by people wearing designer trainers/shirts/jeans or what ever, and me. wearing a b&s t-shirt thats to small, trousers that are to big and some trainers that cost 9.99 in a reject shop, but i don't care and am proud to be different. was in edinburgh this weekend, which was so nice, and yes summer is here, sitting on the grass listen to abba getting drunk in the sun. but any way i so so so nearly bought tigermilk in a shop that had a copy but being a student and so not having any money i had to walk away feeling a little empty. i first heard of b&s 'bout err year 1/2 ago when my brother played tbwtas to me, i have to say at first i didn't think Mmm must get this but the more i listened the better it got until i just had to buy anything by them. but hey ho, must be off. this'll probably be my only mail for a long time i love you all and you know i mean it.

Sinister: bowlie'd on salon.com
by ian connelly 04 May '99

04 May '99

http://www.salon.com/ent/music/feature/1999/05/04/bowlie/index.html by douglas wolk, who also wrote a bang-up piece (in SF Weekly and others) on belle & sebastian around the time TBWTAS appeared in the US....and it's done in the style of _ink polaroids_, no less. i think he gets the awkward and achey parts of the weekender just right while somehow not entirely buying into the essential loveliness of it all...which, as anyone who went and is often pressed-upon to explain to friends who know nothing about b&s and frankly think the whole thing a bit odd knows, is hard to do...so i'm glad he didn't. "This photo shows the inside of our "chalet," which came with the $140 tickets. As you can see, the ruthless efficiency barely holds the sofa bed for two, the narrow pallets, the miniature kitchen and the bathroom. (Electricity and hot water cost extra.) On the table are the two keys provided for the four of us. Why? "That's our policy, sir," said the matron at the front desk. We can't figure out if the idea is to prevent people from hooking up or to make it inevitable." (ah, douglas! i think it was the latter...not that i'd know....) sorry for the dangling sentence. me, i'm still glowing. ian +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

by LIONELHUTZ＠webtv.net 04 May '99

04 May '99

well, hello this is my first post, as i was granted my freedom of talk, thank you. i didnt think it would be that difficult to be quiet. so anyway, did anyone happen to see homer in his kilt on the simpsons last night? oh he was cute, even got a shot of his bum. for those of you who didnt get to see it, homer and mr burns went to try and find nessie. they took camp right next to that castle on the loch. well the story is i just got back from 3 months in the uk, spent my life savings, gained 20 pounds and became an alcoholic, but i did find a place in my heart for b+s. it all happened in a wonderful hostel in liverpool called the emabassie, which i reccomend anyone going to cuz its lovely, they would always have b+s and jeff buckley playing, so alas, i was all," these guys are wonderful,"(b+s and the super friendly people) so in return, i made everyone go see sleater-kinney and jsbx, because theyre just as lovely. and to anyone in the states on the 4th of july, jsbx is playing a free gig in nycs central park, im sure it will be quite a patriotic performance, i believe luscious jackson are playing too. so that would be a perfect opportunity for a picnic and gettin funky with jon spencer, so before i say good night, just a few things i will and will not miss about the uk. i will miss the chippies, the beer, nice and sleazys open acoustic night where you get a free beer to play a song(lots of b+s covers), the pound pints in lovely liverpool, the scallys, the krazy house, the way you see the same people you saw at the clubs and pubs at the chippie, not having to tip bartebders, although i did feel bad at first, but after a few pints i didnt, i wont miss london, or the way cds are 15 pounds, everything is quite expensive, i wont miss how mr chips on sauchieal would raise their prices after like 11pm, i wont miss getting stranded on skye, and i wont miss london, oh did i already say that? well ill say it again, so , ok later-jeff +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
