aiiight homies? scotty mentioned the first rule of our "collective": "get to the pub before everyone else" for any one who was wondering what the rest of the rules were (anyone, anyone, bueller, bueller....) there is only one other really important one: "LEAVE the pub after everyone else" you will come up against a lot of adversity (ie shouty men in black bomber jackets) with this one. however, fear not. play your mad card. the bouncers in my local are too afraid to kick me and my mates out for same reason. the effectiveness of this method all depends on what you have been drinking. i always find that cider utilises my madness factor to its full potential. when drinking whiskey, the most i can muster is a sort of haughty, disdainful look with security people, far too dignified for the likes of a booze exploder. so then, to summarise: drink lots of cider, act (?) like a mentalist and you will never go thirsty again. as for b&s content, i dont know if any of you are from dublin, but i should have tickets soon for the dj gig in vicar street. 5 pounds a go. god, i feel like delboy trotter..... "as god is my witness, i shall never go thirsty again" paula cullen booze explosion booooze!!!! yeeeaaahh!!! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Forgive me Reverend Lovejoy for I have sinned
by Nick.Dastoor＠guardian.co.uk 15 Jun '99

15 Jun '99

It was me who said made the original comment about Simpsons. Before I am permanently cast in the role of social deviant, I would like to make it clear that I am in fact a huge Simpsons fan and spend a large part of my life watching reruns. They're great on second, third, fourth viewing. All I meant was that *even* the appeal of the Simpsons starts to pall after, say, the fifth viewing. Unless the episode invloves Ralph Wiggum saying something like "My cat's called Mittens". Funnily enough, I originally typed 'Fawlty Towers' but changed it so as to appear culturally with-it. I love it when Belle & Sebastian are played on the radio. I always think there must be at least one listener every time who has their life changed forever. For accounts of these type of moments, why not have a look at cheesy B&S memories section of the Jeepster Records' discography section at http://www.belleandsebastian.co.uk/discography/index.htm ? It's like they've brought 'Our Tune' back from the grave. Actually, I think Atlantic 252 have already done that. But there's not much Belle & Sebastian content on Atlantic 252. Maybe one day. "Hi, you're tuned to Stuart Murdoch's Sounds Of The Late 20th Century Scottish Indie Scene. Next up - 18 Wheeler!" Is it just me, or do all those "On my CD player right now, Pavement's 'Terror Twilight'" type sign offs remind anyone else of "I'm wanking as I write this" ? Not in a bad way, you understand. Disturbing me today: The still loomingly ubiquitous presence of posters advertising Cast's 'Magic Hour' all over London. That child! He's got that look about him that says "Yeah - I've just robbed your car but you can't do anything about it because I'm below the criminal age of responsibility." Where's me Daily Mail?

Sinister: Pat Magroin (please)
by Martin Robinson 15 Jun '99

15 Jun '99

Hello again, Sorry the header's my only Simpson reference, not being such a connoisseur as fellow listees. Though I have been known to ring pubs on friends mobiles to ask for people with silly names : my Jenny Tool has worked best so far (I hope that quote is taken out of context). Anyway much giggling and landlord wrath ensued. "Check out Russell Banks" I can only agree with Brandt's suggestion. I read "Rule of the Bone" on holiday a few years ago and it was fantastic. It's another Coming of Age / modern Catcher in the Rye tale. But don't let that put you off, if it does, it's a real page turner (as opposed to one of those shoddy fake ones). And I'll add to what fun the Tigermilker at the Garage was. Thanks to Mark and everyone who staged said event. Like Erica I too jumped up to Suede and then incoherently shuffled my two left feet and felt a bit of a plonker really. No change there really then, ho hum... I'm sure I had something interesting and funny say. Maybe next time... Oh I'm in New York, Boston and Toronto in the Fall (as in yes I've been reading up on your strange North American sayings and ways and not as in going as about the millionth member of the scary Mark E Smith's pop combo). So all suggestions of where to go and pic-nic invites would be appreciated. I'm sure I'll hassle you all nearer the time. Te ra, Martin +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: horses, movies, Peej, hesse, tigermilk, DC, gobetweens, and masturbation.
by rebelstrange＠ldd.net 15 Jun '99

15 Jun '99

chris mcquain: Polly Jean looks drop-dead cool in it, though, and it's only an hour long, so if you do the Peej you may be interested in seeing it just for that. yeah. i'm not much of a film connoiseur, i rarely have time for movies. they bore me to death mostly, and i constantly find things to criticise, probably a result of growing up on Mystery science theater. Basically i just wanna gawk at the coolness of polly jean, in hopes of someday attaining such an aura of magnificence. and i just think it's neat she's playing mary magdalene. ian brings up the specter of sexual horses again, and dreaming of them. i tend to go for versatility in meanings. i think judy could be dreaming of freedom, and fancy--something of the innocence she's lost. little girls love horses. but there coudl also be that freudian sexual aspect to it. maybe she's looking for a way to bring that REAL joy and innocence to her sexuality and relationships now, they seem to have been fairly disappointing. she did it with a boy, but not much else is said, so i dont' get the feeling she really found it that interesting. she mostly stays by herself. Ironically, i just woke this morning from a dream of horses. they were on my mother's pasture. there was a white one, Japanese Gypsy. and a young filly. and a darker one, Black Galaxy. they all jumped upon me with their hooves on my shoulders, and nipped at my hands. they were rather flighty and naughty. i wanted very badly to ride one of them out in the beautiful woods--the sky was blue on one side, and black clouds and a gold sunset were on the other, but they were not well trained yet for me to ride. so i didn't ask. can i say yet again that i despise all John Hughes movies and molly ringwald, andrew mccarthy and all of those tools should have been dropped in a deep deep well long long ago?? i have my gentle waves wallpaper up. now every time i turn on my computer, my face shrinks up and hearts come up from my eyes, and i squeal "AWWW!!" and little bluebirds flit around my head chirping joyful tunes. tulips spring from stones, and babbling brooks break the desert sands with silver fish catching the rainbow rays of the jolly sun. then Lesley Rankine growls like a tiger and starts going at men's crotches with her machete. Yeah!!! (teehee, i love Ruby) mm yes. on the subject of book recommendations, since i can't recommend any movies (but todd solondz YESS) i read another Hermann Hesse book, _the Prodigy_. kind of depressing i spose, but i really liked it. it has BOYS KISSING!!! heehee. it's incredibly Sinister actually. it has a young boy who attends theological school in the pastoral countryside. he spends a summer wasting, and reads the gospel to himself, and the first time he kisses a girl he gets terrified and runs off. it's so b&s stuart could have written a song about it. thanks to JaMeS, i was recently introduced to the Go-Betweens. acutally they sounded different than i expected. sometimes they make me think i'm listening to James (the group, not the lovely lad who loves 'Bel as much as i). but they're pretty good. and chances are, i was listening to the radio one day and heard a song "bye bye pride" i knew i recognized. but DAMN it sounded like James. and then the guy said it was go-betweens. D'OH!! but my favorite is still Felt, strange idol patterns. that name was in my dream last night. Felt is wonderful, especially the older ones where there wasn't as much keyboard, i spose that's before the Duffy guy joined. or something. i just tho't of a movie i liked--Angels and Insects. I liked it rather. Let's have some solo love-pleasuring stories. Go on... you first... *gasplutter* me? you want ME to go first??? good sir. i beg of you. do NOT compel me to idleness, yes desperation is the devils work, it is the folly of a girl's mind that is not *exactly* empty, but filled with vacant longings for an artgirl with beautiful arms........... on another note, i did anagrams for stuart murdoch, and the best one that came up was "Oh, curt arm stud!" I'd have to agree with the rake Michael about tigermilk. i only have a crappy tape of it. and it blows my mind constantly. i won't go inot it too much, it could take hours and stuff. MAYBE i might be in DC for the Looper show. we're making plans at the moment. cos i wanna see magnetic fields, and my buxom bandmate christa wants to party.l so maybe i'll see you DCinisters sometime. rock on, rock of ages. Love bites. Rocket. kay i think i'll go now. i dont' have a car today so i'm stuck indoors writing to you losers. *sigh* and dreaming of the time i can settle down with a nice girl for the rest of my life. i think it would suit me quite well. *in love is so tough on my emotions* --the raincoats LJ http://www.members.tripod.com/rebelstrange they were like those gauche youths who turn up to house parties only to cling to the dark corners in chaste disdain, driven by the naive, vaguely inhuman conviction that all merriment is a lie.

Re: Sinister: le grand simpsons
by Walkn10＠aol.com 15 Jun '99

I'm going to side with the pro-Simpson posse here. Anyone who doubts their hilariousness and unending viewability (is that a word??) needs to see the Springfield Film Festival where the shot of Hans Moleman getting hitting in the nuts with a football almost wins top prize. Or when Otto mistakes Hans for a gremlin and runs him off the road. Or the April Fool's episode where Bart puts the beer in the paint shaker. Or the epsiode of McBain where Mendoza exclaims "McBain! I thought I sent you to hell!" and McBain replies "Here's a souvenir!" and throws a grenade. Or anytime Disco Stu opens his mouth. I don't know, the Simpsons hold a soft spot in my heart and I will back them against the staunchest of attacks. While we're speaking of American TV, any Married With Children fans on the list? I know they probably embody the most low-brow humor known to man but I'll be damned if they aren't one of the funniest sitcoms I've ever seen. Too bad they're cancelled now, but oh well... It stinks that B&S aren't playing Bowlie III..looks like my UK trip will be at least postponed to the Spring. Rats. Well Looper in a month so at there's that.

Sinister: slow slow jane, make sense
by Blake E Hamilton 15 Jun '99

15 Jun '99

and a good evening to you all, said the lark, er, yes... i just returned from seeing the second austin powers. it's quite good, but it doesn't touch the original, and the use of WHO music throughout (well for around 20 seconds) makes it worthwhile, as well as a flaming lips number. my question, does anyone out there like elvis costello? the more i hear of him the more i like, it's a bit addicting, like those first listens to any who album. so is there 'an' essential elvis album i should buy? somebody tell me, now, yes, while i still don't have wrinkles everywhere. my congratulations to jygsaw dave and molly who both found my website, although dave did post the wrong address to you lot. so i'll refrain from posting the real address until the site is more than halfway done. of course, molly cheated and looked on my icq profile, which i had already updated a long time ago. balderdash. my back hurts from my labors today, and tomorrow i shall stand by the beach and serve pretzels at harbourfest--a hideous celebration of food and fireworks, in which yours truly gets to stand meekly like an outcast and serve nine year olds candy whilst the girls laugh mockingly at the kid with the apron behind the pretzel machine. so if anyone sees me, do say hello, won't you? and cheers to jygsaw dave, who seems to be picking up on the who vibe i mentioned earlier. ahhh i do remember those first days, of playing tommy over and over, and then quadrophenia, every day for months and months and months. the joys of teenage life, saturated with a naive angst that just feels so good... until tomorrow, or whenever i feel the need to be me again blake xx ps. and what's the deal with bad mouthing TIJAMRS, and the ep of the same name? that ep is my favorite, maybe because it's got my favorite isobel song and and my favorite b&s bit in general. so from now on, no more things to say, unless they're genuinley complimentary about said ep. thanks and my hat's off to you... -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- "Fuck!" - Jarvis Cocker +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
