Sinister: How many times can you listen to a Belle and Sebastian record?
by Brandt S. Fundak 15 Jun '99

15 Jun '99

Before you start to get sick of it that is? Nick's comment that he could only watch a Simpsons episode three or four times before he gets sick of it reminded me that my friends have been telling me lately that they have burned themselves out on Belle and Sebastian (even though they are looking forward to the Tigermilk re-release.) So what about you guys? Have any of you had to swear off Belle and Sebastian for a while because you listened to it to much? Okay now that that's out of the way, I would like to say that while I have at times stopped listening to Belle and Sebastian, there are certain episodes of the Simpsons I could watch over and over again. Recent favorites include the episode where Lisa becomes a vegetarian, the fat Homer episode, and the episode where Troy McClure marries Selma (you can not beat Planet of the Apes the Musical) I long to see the Homer sexual harrassment episode and the Simpson's take off of Thelma and Louise (where Homer believes that the ballet is a bear in a Fez smooshed into a tiny car riding around a circus tent. The best bit of this joke is that later when he tells Lenny and Carl that he is going to the ballet with Marge, Lenny says "Oh, You're going to see the bear in the car?") Okay, I'll stop crying now.

Sinister: Does this count as B&S content?
by McQuain, Chris 15 Jun '99

15 Jun '99

Hello all- Favorite Homer-ism: "I'm TIRED of being a wannabe league bowler. I wanna be a LEAGUE bowler!" I also love it when Marge says, "Look! It's more letters from people who want to be Bart's People, Bart!". The little word plays are just supreme, very clever. Best writing on TV. Oh, and for some (VERY) indirect B&S/Simpsons correlation: The Simpsons are mentioned rather affectionately in the Arab Strap song "The First Big Weekend". A cute song. So does THAT count as B&S-related content? Well, does it? And for those Erik Satie devotees out there, my Satie story: I first heard "Gymnopodies #3" over the credits of Woody Allen's "Another Woman", his excellent, graceful, dignified, very dramatic and severely under-rated film from 1988, and have been in love with Satie ever since (I already loved Allen's work). Love always- -Chris "And I wondered if a memory is something you have, or something you've lost." +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Drowning in Berlin
by Michael Jones 15 Jun '99

15 Jun '99

Dear gypsies, tramps and thieves... Both PJ and Mr Lucey of Berkeley said encouraging things about Bill Evans; may I add to the clamour and suggest folks seek out "Trio 64" ? Recently lovingly remastered and reissued on Verve in one of those lovely fold-out digipak-with-booklet things. In common with many reissues of this type, there's a lot of useless junk on the end like 11-second false starts and alternate takes which, if we were talking about "Smokey and the Bandit", would be the best bit. (Jackie Gleason fluffing his lines and so on, played over the closing credits as a special treat for those cinema-goers who like to stay and see just who *was* the 2nd unit gaffer.) But we're not. Well, *I'm* not - you may have been. Just don't do it again. Kevan Cooke hurled his assailant into a shelf full of crockery before uttering the following poorly-dubbed words: > you see, GOLDEN NUGGETS were my favourite breakfast > cereal as a child > anyway, > i'll be having a bowl tonight. On the first bus out of town ? Ha ha. Oh, and Deep Luv to KC for playing not only Free Design but also The Left Banke at Friday's shindig. I was so happy I could've kissed strangers. Which, come to think of it, I probably did. Sorry, strangers. Robert McTaggart, his superpowers waning, clung desperately to the cliff face and forced out the following plea: > I've just finished a fascinating report > on the effect of opening Canada Water Underground Station Is it too much to expect this to provoke a lengthy thread on the Jubilee Line extension ? It's got to be better than talking about the Jetsons the whole time. I'm particularly anxious to see how the various interchanges are depicted on the revised map - an extra black-rimmed circle at Waterloo or an adjustment to accommodate the silver line within the current cluster of rings ? None of you have a bleedin' clue what I'm talking about, do you ? Honestly, first you start nattering on about Burt Reynolds and now you're pretending not to be interested in the biggest single addition to London's Tube network in 25 years. I'll have your medication stopped and then you'll be sorry. I've been under a lot of pressure lately, y'know... Mike. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I certainly agree that imbibing a teutonic amounts of cider (no offence intended, .de sinistereens! ;) leads to that particular state of ludicrous lunacy that would give one pause before one attempts to remove a client from a watering hole of any sort! Especially pubs, man! Also, a particularly "explosive" (pun intended) mixture is woodpecker cider with either metaxa or belhaven st. andrews ale... one is surely NOT to be too keen on the idea of departing his or her pub of choice after a couple healthy pints of cider with some belhaven on top of his gut! By the way, I am going to see Looper on the 20th of July at the Middle East in Boston! So is Thomas Murphy! Anyone in the area wishing to meet up with us, say so! I am so pumped... I've always wanted to go to Boston! hugs and smoochies! sean! _____________________________________________ Free email with personality!

Sinister: Don't bore us, get to the chorus
by Mctaggart, Robert 15 Jun '99

15 Jun '99

People of Sinister, It's like the Marie Celeste here. I've just finished a fascinating report on the effect of opening Canada Water Underground Station, I've grown weary of goosing the secretaries and photocopying my buttocks, so I'm going to write to you, dear Sinister, because I've neglected you of late. I've discovered the joys of listening to CDs at work. I couldn't do this before and now I can and this makes me very happy. I'm listening to a group called Fidget who are errm...Swedish and are very good. They sound like Robot with a girl singer, and you all know how good Robot are, don't you? One song starts "Hello! You fool", surely a tribute to those other giants of Svenskrock - Roxette. I was worried that after my post-Eurovision outburst that you'd be doubting the firmness of my belief that Sweden is the future of music, so this is to reassure you. It's Wimbledon soon. This is for the benefit of Tim "Henman" Hopkins, who I know loves tennis in general and Wimbledon in particular. He told me his favourite bits are when a pigeon lands on the court, and everyone pisses their pants as if it's the funniest thing in the world. He also said that it's much better than football, cos football is as common as dirt. He said none of those things in reality, I'm just trying to provoke him into writing, cos he hasn't for a while and I miss him so much it hurts. Wow. I thought I was the only person in the entire world who liked the Simpsons ~ Tag x +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Hello, my name is Mr. Burns. I believe you have a letter for me...
by bkim0＠dept.english.upenn.edu 15 Jun '99

15 Jun '99

Scodog, you are going to get *reamed* when everyone starts protesting "Hey, when did this turn into the Simpsons list" or "Can we keep the posts on-topic please, personal diary entries only". But I can't resist joining the avalanche of favorite Homer-isms so... - Homer (in lame disguise): "Hello, my name is Mr. Burns. I believe you have a letter for me." Postal Worker: "OK, Mr. Burns. Uh, what's your first name?" Homer (after long pause): "I don't know." (afterwards) Homer (bitterly): "Great plan, Bart!" - Moe: "What's your friend's name?" Homer: "Joey...Joe-Joe...Junior...Shabadoo." - GI: "Homer? Who is Homer? My name is Guy Incognito." (after Guy gets beat up) Homer: "Oh my God. This man is my exact twin....hey, a dog with a poofy tail!" - "I am evil Ho-mer. I am evil Ho-mer." - (crying, defeated) "Hey there...Blimpy Boy..." - "I've had just about enough of your Vassar-bashing young lady!" - Marge: "I just don't want him to think we're smothering him." Homer: "Yeah. And then we'd get the chair." Marge: "Homer, that's not what I meant." Homer: "It was, Marge, admit it." - Homer (in falsetto): "You make me feel like dancing..." Barney: "...I wanna dance the night away!" - "Now Marge, just remember. If something goes wrong at the plant, blame the guy who can't speak English. Ah, Tibor, how many times have you saved my butt?" - "There was a little Spanish flea, A record star he thought he'd be. He heard of singers like Beatles, The Chipmunks he'd seen on TV. Why not a little Spanish flea? And so he hid inside a dog..." I could go on and on and on. But I won't lest the server housing Sinister collapse under the weight of this Simpsonphilic post. I am always tickled to see how far and wide "D'oh" has spread into the global vernacular though. Maybe to keep things on-topic (fairly) we can start reminiscing about Willy quotes and other Scottish references...though it's probably fair to say B&S are Simpsons fans so heck, this isn't that OT.

Sinister: Alex Chilton
by jarkko frantila 15 Jun '99

Ah yes, the mighty Simpons. Fo me Granpa Sipson has always been THE character. 2 reasons for that: 1) Halloween special: Ned Flanders comes out of nowhere and says "BOO!" People just look at him, but Granpa grabs his chest and screams of horror. Then Bart says: "I've got a story that will make you wet your pants." To which, our beloved senile Granpa says: "Too late." Brilliant. 2) Lisa is crying because she thinks she's ugly, and Homer is sitting beside her. Homer: "You're the cutest child in the world." Lisa (sobbing): "Every parent says that!" Just then, Granpa walks past the open door. Homer: "Dad, am I cute?" Granpa: "No, you're ugly as a mules ass!!" Homer: "See Lisa?" Classic. Music now: Anyone here into The Replacements? Just yesterday I got "pleased to meet me" from the library, and it's like, sooooo good. Funny coincidence, Singles came from TV yesterday, and as we all know (well some of us, anyway), Paul Westerberg made the soundtrack to that film. The world is a funny place. Thats it, theres nothing to see here anymore. @--->--- JaCe Le PeTiT. ______________________________________________________ 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: Jake Head Boogie
by Sarah 15 Jun '99

Hello there! Whilst looking about on the Ace Records website, I was pleased to see that the world of Sinister has infiltrated the world of Blues, with a feature on "Lightning" Hopkins! With songs such as "Give me Back that Wig", and "Lonesome Dog Blues", I can see why he is referred to as the "post-war King Of Texas Blues". Why does no-one talk about "Lightning Hopkins" on the list anymore, eh? I'm glad to see that the Tigerfiddling night went ok, I hear that Kevan played Agent-Double-O-Soul by John Schroeder. The title is worth celebrating at least, I bet the songs even better! I have a JS record called "Working in the Soul Mine". I think its cool. Black Box Recorder are boring. Dull. England Made Me. Thats an interesting concept isn't it. About, um, growing up in England, shaped by its cultural and social values. Like millions of people DO NOT LIVE THAT EXPERIENCE EVERY DAY!!! It's bad enough without having to listen to people making droning voice-like-a-limp-cabbage moronic popular beat records about it!! So shut up! Bastards. Of course, the song may be just about pumpkins. And the title may just be an abstract pretentious choice. I can't remember what the song sounds like now. Well yes I can. Dull. Uninteresting so I don't know why I'm giving it further life by mentioning it more. I have "We Might Be Stars" (or whatever its called) in my head by the Wannadies. Thats not good. Who said A-level English wasn't interesting by the way? I'm revising Jane overwrittensarcasticharpie Austen right now. byebye Sarah xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: How do you do sir....
by Jason Andreas 15 Jun '99

15 Jun '99

Good greetings to you all.... Homer Moments: The witness protection thing.... The WPP guy, after about four hours of trying says to Homer 'When I say "How do you do, Mr Thompson" and press on your foot, you nod, OK?' Homer says OK. The guy does it, Homer looks blank then turns to the other WPP guy and says 'I think he's talking to you...' An episode where Bart is skipping school and Homer is skipping work, both are approaching each other from the other end of the street. Home hides, puts a comb under his nose and strolls past, entoning 'How do you do sir?' in a very high-pitched voice.... Last one: When Homer is looking at a family pic, Bart is holding a speech bubble under Homer, saying I am fat (or something I can't quite remember) and Homer says; 'I don't remember saying that!' I collapsed in laughter. That's the appeal of the Simpsons, the humour goes from subtle to laugh-till-you-burst... pure genius. Non-Homer Moment: The Thompsons episode, where Sideshow Bob is caught by Chief Wiggum and his men. Wiggum, dressed in a pink dressing-gown says; 'It's a good thing you stopped outside this brothel.' My B&S content: I think that Isobell has the sweetset voice I have ever heard. It's the sort of voice that makes you wish you were wearing very loose trousers :) Isobell, if you're reading this... marry me! To all other sinisterines, an appeal for help... Did anyone happen to tape the Tibet concert with Thom Yorke / Johnny Greenwood? If so, please could you send me a copy? Eternal thanks to anyone who can, and I'll see what I can offer in return. As any other amateur writers/poets know, sometimes you reach a a standstill and need something to inspire you. I am looking for something to inspire me, a comment, a picture, a sound, anything. Get cracking, the winner gets a poem written about them. Cheerio... -- Jason Andreas -- The Romantic Scotsman -- -- The original owner of a broken heart -- { jasonandreas(a)breathemail.net } -- contact me ... oh yes! -- -- Spammers WILL be shot... -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
