Sinister: Tigermilk - worth hanging onto? Nah, not really
by Jeremy.Simon＠jwt.com 22 Jun '99

Mike Little asks: >I have an original Tigermilk LP, but now it's being re-issued - do you think it's still worth hanging on to? Interesting that you should ask this, Mike. As anyone who read the recent B&S article in Record Collector will know, owing to the very small number of copies released, Tigermilk is now almost entirely worthless. I myself found a copy in a charity shop recently for 10p - and I'm pretty certain Rough Trade have got a couple in their bargain bins. Of course you must buy the re-issue (which in a few years time could be worth upwards of seven quid!), and I would like to say that to save you the effort of throwing it away, I am more than prepared to take your old copy off your hands. If you want, I don't mind paying post and packaging. Subtle am I, and clever, yeeeees. J. D.

by Sarah Drayton 22 Jun '99

Hi sinisterines re; Belle and sebastian ripping off other peoples songs. I listened to IYFS the other day and I'm sure the title track has the same bass line as that god awful song "Love is in the air" by John Paul Young. ______________________________________________________ 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: more self indulgent shite (excuse the language, i'm feeling saucier than ravoli)
by Blake E Hamilton 22 Jun '99

22 Jun '99

my desk lamp bids the crowds a glorious hearty greeting, and cackles with excitement and glee that can only be detrimental to his electrical fusing... and so it is. for this post, I will institute a warning very similar to Lesley Jo's this morning--this is really all about me, with very little B&S (but a lot of BS, chuckle chuckle), so if you would like to read on, then feel free to poke at things that you wouldn't normally poke at. but keep the foreboding scoffing for some other twit, sistas. well i work at a deli. and it's really an odd place. everyone who works there appears to be very run down. it's a bit like a disease, i think. deli-itis. it's from inhaling too much honey baked turkey over the course of the years, and i think it impairs the eyes first. all of my co workers are busy staring off into space at objects that probably aren't there in the first place. what i'm trying to say, is i don't want deli-itis. i believe i'll wander into the doctor's tomorrow and demand that a high concentration of champagne mustard be shoved into my veins in order to vaccinate myself. wouldn't that be a HOOT. no, ok it wouldn't. well i was washing the tables outside (we have a patio in which we have several sets of plastic lawn furniture, though we call it our 'outside dining area'. please.) well this really cute bird was eating her ice cream (which yours truly was pleasant enough to sculpt into a twirling castle for her) when she dropped a lot of it all over the tables. so she asked me for my cleaning fluid, in order to do it herself. well i went to give it to her, smiling like a crazed hyena, when i accidentally squirted her in the face with the stuff. it was only a little, and it hit her right in the forehead. oh, i'm sure those pores were mad at her. well she couldn't stop laughing and went on saying how it was her fault, and i ran inside and got her napkins and rags and oh, the horrors. it was funny, but she left, and i haven't seen her since. hmph. funny story though. it takes the 'hostess with the mostess' story and flips it around. maybe i shall see what l'amour courtois is like on this side of food and beverage. as you all know, i am quite familiar with the kind where i'm the customer and she's the sassy food preparer. sort of an interesting smutty fantasy. ok and i'll stop there. parklife is the perfect britpop album. that or different class. there was a huge discussion on the pulp ng about what britpop was and what the best example of it is. i really don't know, but parklife is top. but so is jarvis. the dilemma of the stereo. speaking of which, i can't wait until tigermilk. everyone scream a south carolina 'yeeeeeeeeee haw!'. ok great, that was good, now do it again. cheers to timmy hopkins who admitted that The Who are so much more than lustful arena rockers. That was Led Zeppelin (booooooo hissssssssss). The Who are beautiful, caustic, whiny, and outspoken all wrapped up into an imitation tortilla product with salsa on top. I call it THE WHO BY NUMBERS. it's the follow up to Quadrophenia and the most B&S like, but it has no BS. bwa ha ha! that's enough, i've overstayed my welcome. for more bizarre sexually awkward stories involving the food and beverage industry, stay tuned kids. love blake the nerdy shy eyed pacifist. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- "Fuck!" - Jarvis Cocker +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Just the beginning (maybe)
by David March 21 Jun '99

21 Jun '99

Hiya! Just wanted to say hello. I've been on the list since January I think, and I thought it was about time I made myself public! Had a wierd day today. we've had a temp helping us out at work for the past few weeks, but he's now left for a job in Peterborough. Oh well! Back to a life of watching Countdown and 15 to 1 with my colleague! Did anyone see the episode of 15 to 1 where William G- String Stewart asked which band won best british newcomer at the brits, the answer being B&S! I can imagine all these old grannies supping their tea and chewing their macaroons saying, "Who are they?" "I knew a Sebastian in the war," "Really dear! well I knew a Belle!" "Didn't she go and work in Mr Brown's cornershop?" "Who are we?" Heard my first taster from Tigermilk (I'm one of the sad few who doesn't have a bootleg copy!) Other than the Dog On Wheels version of The State I Am In of course. Mark and Lard played She's Losing It, and I spent the next few days wandering around at work singing it. Don't know if the tune was right of course, but it sounded good nonetheless! Anyway, I'm going to disappear now. I've got to try and read all the messages in my new mail folder!

Sinister: if i wasnt psychotic i would never have found my true self.
by Sweetie 21 Jun '99

21 Jun '99

as your grip on reality slips through your fingers like a million grains of smooth coral white sand, you start to see life in a much clearer context. things that lost all meaning when you lost the innocence of youth, and when i say the youth i mean like 5, start to come back to you but now u understand them again, in the same way you did when you were 5. when you are a young child, everything, no matter how abstract, seems to make perfect sense and every question that could possibly ever be asked had an answer and that answer was inside your head, only all things applied and material needed questioning. but as you get older (hey im only 15 and to me this is well apparent) your knowledge seems to drift away, questions need answering. the ultimate and final question that can only ever be answered by another question- why? you go to skule every day, and work your ass off to get good grades, and that question can be applied- why? in the end you always end up in the same place- where you started. ok maybe when you are alive then chances are life will be better, but when the end finally comes, and that is inevitable, what difference will money make? or education? or how good your life was? or how bad? so many people never find their true selfs or their true freinds. we hide behind walls that are invisible, we lock ourselves away so that nobody can 'get in' and we cant get out. we build up an image, a mask, every detail is very precise so as not to give away any clues. for once- no questions asked. happiness- does it exist? can anyone ever be truly happy? will we ever have everything that we want? young kids seem to cope with life so much better, you dont get many suicidal 5yr olds. but as an angst ridden 15 yr old, i can safely say that to me life just seems quite pointless, u dont exist u live u die u r past existance. then if u like u can be reincarnated, but every new story has the same underlying plot. the story is, i believe, best represented by music. what else can provoke such a wide range of emotion? whatevers written in your heart by gerry rafferty to name but one song. real music is the kind that u listen to and you feel the artists words, you are on a higher plane, you are beyond hearing things for a reason. to understand everything reality must become fantasy and fantasy reality. what is real becomes false, an illusion that was designed to hide the truth. then maybe everything will start to come into to a perspective, things will finally come together and start to make sense. maybe one day everyone will find their true self, no more superficiality, maybe. your friend always sweetie. x +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Very nice matron!
by Jason Andreas 21 Jun '99

21 Jun '99

Nick Dastoor spouted: I don't think I would like Belle & Sebastian so much if they looked rubbish. Does anyone else agree? (NB. I am a very shallow person.) I think that Nicky boy said this just to be controversial. I love Belle And Sebastian, but I don't even have the slightest clue what any of them look like. I also love Radiohead, yet Thom Yorke is the only one I would recognise from that band, so I for one disagree with this statement. Sorry Nick. The G2 Godspeed gig draws ever closer, anyone going? (I know I've asked this before, but I don't know if my post went through properly.) sorry if I repeat too often.... Isn't it great that Tigermilk is re-released just after my birthday, so for once I'll be able to afford a CD I want when it comes out. Hurrah! I must scarper now, I have to turn off the awful Beta Band from my radio, I just don't like them at all. Sorry to all Beta Band fans, please don't swamp me with reasons that they're great, as I don't want to go through that again. ( I once posted to alt.music.uk.alternative that the Beatles were overrated and got 835 messages telling me how wrong I was.)

Sinister: burn your feet!!!!!!!
by Sweetie 21 Jun '99

21 Jun '99

hello my friends and how are we all this fine evening? i am dandy!! ;) anyway i am sure u r all wondering 'why the subject??' well that is because that is what i am gonna write about!! what u need- 1 pair of cotton socks, your feet(and your friends feet- the more the merrier!!), a lighter. what to do- get on the pair of preferably old cotton socks (must be cotton or i really dont recommend trying this!) and put them on your feet. then fluff them up until they are as good and fluffy as cotton socks can get. then u get a lighter and set it so the flame is as large as it can get, then you set your sock on fire, around the ankle area seems to work best but always make sure that it is well fluffed. and then just sit back and watch the flame engulf your foot! but dont worry the flame will only burn off the fluffy bits- oh yeah but when u r lighting ur sock dont hold the flame to it, just sort of quickly run it past it, otherwise u might burn ur foot off! important notice!!! DO TRY THIS AT HOME!!!!! your friend always sweetie ;oP xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
