Sinister: Where have all my list crush votes gone?

I went to have a wee gander to see if my list crush tally had gone up any since my drunken tweekend at Camber Sands, and was most impressed to see that I was second !!! Then I realised that I was only second because I am the first person in alphabetical order, and everyone's votes have been scrubbed and Laurel is only ahead of everyone as she is the only person who has any votes at all. So I just wanted to alert you all to the fact that you will have to go and start voting again :) I feel I may be worse off this time round, as the only person I know that voted for me isn't on Sinister anymore. Anyway I am not going to vote for ages now, so if you go and look and see that someone that isn't Laurel has a vote, it is NOT your vote from me, OK? On a post-Bowlie note, I am most peeved to find that it is Saturday evening and I have bugger all to do. This time last week I was in the pub, toasting the achievements of the Sinister football stars, and pretending I hadn't heard the Celtic v St Johnstone score. Now I am in the computing labs in Paisley University, humming "Paper Boat" to myself and wishing I was on a beach with you lot. It's most disappointing to be home :( Another Bowlie memory: Chap in a shop on the way to the beach: "What are all these people here for?" His mate: "Isn't there a line dancing festival on?" Hmmmmmmm. Explains the preponderance of cowboy hats around the site, I suppose... In the huff as the Delgados are playing in Glasgow the night before my final exam, Ailsa xx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Still Bowled Over
by David Moore 01 May '99

01 May '99

Happy May Day Weekend Sinistereens, Yet more Bowlie ravings. Jarvis Cocker: we bumped into him wearing his mac after V-Twin finished, having his picture taken with someone (was that you Care Bear? with a bag slung over your left shoulder?). Sally took a photo, but was too awe-struck to speak to him, so I did so that she could too. He was chatty enough, but a bit aloof/just being cool. We discussed why he wasn't wearing a gorilla suit, and his TV series. (Because I don't really like Pulp! Sally does though) He was upset that the programmes hadn't been shown at a primer time. Mr Dastoor (who really looks like Nick Dastoor) wrote: Laurel, for her one-woman Isobel Campbell bombing campaign. Hmmm. I think Sally flew co-pilot on at least one mission. She also called out "Snap!" to the following ink polaroid, especially the bit about Mick: This one's during 'If You're Feeling Sinister'. It's taken from a great position, only one row from the front and dead centre. The band look good. Except Straun - he needs to do something about his hair. All eyes are on Stevie, who is grinning like an idiot, clearly enjoying the adulation that his fantastic steel-guitaresque playing is receiving. Mick's smiling too, obviously pleased with his mastery of the opening guitar chords. Bowlie II: I get the impression that its Foundation, the promoters, who are organising more events. Therefore if there is another, it won't be called Bowlie, and it won't have anything to do with Belle & Sebastian. Poo or what? Bunked off work early yesterday to see Sodastream's in-store. They were great: played really intensely for an hour to an audience of 18 adults, 1 toddler & 1 baby in a sweaty record shop. Free gig, free beer, a free single: what more could you ask for? Rough Trade got me to get my plastic out 4 times though: Karl's single, a John McEntire soundtrack thingie, and new ones by Arab Strap & Suede. Now even more on the listening pile for this weekend, so its lucky I have 2 weeks' ironing to catch up on! The Belle and Sebastian story seems to be being scripted by Brookside's writers at the moment. Triumphant Bowlie gig putting an end to all the complaints ever voiced by critics or fans, swiftly followed by a debacle at Dublin ending in temper tantrums. All hold hands and wish them well and no more tensions please, before someone does something irrevocable. Some whipper-snapper 39 year old wrote about being the oldest Sinistereen: I think you 'll have to try harder, as I'll be 43 on the 12th & I don't think even I'm the oldest. Every shade of envious green imaginable, as I know someone who's got the B&S Bowlie video to watch for the weekend, (Please Release It, Let It Go - to whoever owns the rights) Lots of love, David Moore Chelmsford, UK +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: youve got to sleep late when you can...

>stevie was asked a few times whether he was the young actor from "the >small faces" yeah, dead ringer, that guy whose on the "DONT DRINK!, itll make you TALK SHITE!" advert, you know, the one where the wee guy out of small faces drinks and then talks shite. in fact come to think it might be a HEBS advert, in which case while everyone on this list in scotland is nodding knowledgably, everyone else is looking at me funny right now. just to confuse you further, this is where the paragraph which the subject header refers to was, but i have just deleted it due to it being overly offensive. which sort of renders this post pointless. so maybe i should at least put some sort of flaming lips reference somewhere: it was nice to see mr coyne make use of his gong at bowlie. its sort of a rock cliche to have a big gong at the back of the stage for the whole set, only for the drummer to get up and hit it once, at the end of the last number. so i feared the worst when it was wheeled onstage, but it got a good pasting throughout. i hope that has appeased the baying masses of flaming lips fans. i think its a crying shame that anyone should be too shy to go to bowlie. i was too shy to talk to anyone remotely sinister (that kiss/makeup stuff in my last post was a blatant lie) but i managed to overcompensate for this by throwing coins at seagulls. big-buddha-belly-ben, being much more devious by nature than me, was luring them to underneath the balcony with bits of bread and then spraying them with his supersoaker thing. all this was done as revenge for the numerous bird attacks on sinister people, as documented on the list recently. at least thats my story and im sticking to it. i have to go now to kick a goose to death, from tjohn. (right now i am listening to blossoms falling by ooberman. this should have been the soundtrack to bowlie, except it was released the day after it ended. oops). +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: sinister picnic in melbourne
by Miss Erin Nicole Lewis 01 May '99

01 May '99

Hey kids, Some nice person named Craig-Lee said: >Are the rumours of a Melbourne Sinister picnic/night at 'The Nightcat' >true??? If yes, when??? gotta love the Nightcat, R.I.P E.B.V.P...... Chris Tunnock, are you up to this? If so, someone had better tell me before I get there! My plane departs on May 4th, and I will be in Melbourne between May 6 and May 17. I hope the Nightcat plays lots of Astrud Gilberto when I get there, so I can dance dance dance to the bossa nova. I know we have a few other Sinister lurkers in Melbourne whom I'd love to meet. If there's a picnic, I'll be there. And I'll take pictures for Honey's "things I did in school" page to prove we actually had one. -Miss Erin _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
