Sinister: Stuart in your eyes
by Arantxa Sanz 06 Jun '99

06 Jun '99

What a weird Saturday I had (and I feel I have to share it with all of you, sensitive souls)! After taking breakfast to bed to my significant other for first time, and myself being a female and himself a male, I wondered if that will mean some perilous turning point with Edipic echoes in our relation.I felt extremely lazy the rest of the day and the only productive action I did apart from that first one, it was to buy my dad some Maxwell and Kennedy's extremely posh 'chocolate-as-a-drink' for his birthday after doubting if some Petula Clark's compilation including 26 hits would be more suitable. But he probably has already some PC's collection as he has all the possible 60's British Female singers ones,so I chose the chocolate instead,which is a safe bet with Dad. I also doubted to buy 'My legendary girlfriend'or/and'Ralph's party'. I feel like reading something light and easy to feel identified with. Has anyone some recommendation about these two? To end my day, which was incredingbly short,as I went to bed about 10.30,we watched 'Stars in your eyes'megafinal. Much more enjoyable than Eurovision, at least while the impersonated personae were recognizable to my Spanish eyes. Could someone explain to me who is Anne Murray,for instance?Celine Dion,from Kent,was surely forced to choose this performance because of her nose.But the spanner becoming Chris de Burgh was our favourite: did someone see his 'natural' hair in his everyday images working with a vacuum system in a lab or sort of? He was the genuine spanner-physicist and a huge current of sympathy flooded my heart after seeing that.Would anyone tell me the winner? I was too busy falling asleep to watch the results,but I know my housemate voted for Chris. I read someone went to 'Stars...' casting, wishing to be that night Crash Test Dummies singer, who is totally unknown to the audience of the programme, though I don't know if they allowed him to carry out his longlife dream. Anyone up for Struan? You could even wear silver trousers,that is the more appealing about it.Or perhaps any day we will hear 'And tonite, Isobel Campbell is going to be France Gall'.Then, be ready for pastel-shaded night dresses and 'sorry because my French is bad' in a captivating child-like tone at the end of the song. I would still vote for Chris the Spanner. Love A. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: fuzzy beings
by COURTOLY＠aol.com 05 Jun '99

05 Jun '99

Dear fuzzy beings, I stopped listening to B&S about a week ago because my roommate memorized all the songs and she's not even a big fan. I don't want to bother her. Simultaneously, I want to thank all the lovely folks on the list who have e-mailed me recently. All week I felt as if I've been struck by lightning with confusion. My house had its own version of a Midsummer Night's Dream except I was a crying ball of wet noodles with the "IQ of a pop bead". (sorry, I had to borrow that phrase from Amy Tan). Olympia got claustrophobic and it was nice to look forward to reading all of your posts. Even though this list is getting claustrophobic too.. with the crossover folks from Sexwise who know all my turn-ons and adventures sometimes I wonder if I have enough private life to stand on. >And another thing, why the hell do I never >get this sort of attention from girls my own age? I ask myself the same question. There is a little troublemaker here who brought me a rose to work yesterday and told me all the juicy details of her threesome makeout party. I had a dirty imagination at that age but never got to act that naughty! If I lived in a city I would have been worse, but suburban life really was an effective way of sheltering the kids until we got cars.

Sinister: Cecilia the breaker of hearts...
by Walkn10＠aol.com 05 Jun '99

05 Jun '99

I just wanted to thank the infinitely lovely Molly Belinski for sending me the tape of B&S's Bowlie performance. I haven't had a chance to check it out yet but if its half as good as the package was adorable it'll be fantastic! I almost bought some archaic instrument known as a zither today but I had a bunch of questions about tuning/changing strings etc., and the salesman was less than approachable to say the least. Does anyone know anything about them? On the face of it they appear to be of some relation to harps, but they lie horizontal as opposed to standing vertically. They have ALOT of strings and they lie very close together, leading me to reason that they're played with a pick or picks, but I'm probably wrong. If anyone knows anything about these really odd, but great sounding instruments please email me privately so's the list can get on with debating the beauty of Elliott Smith (self-entitled record makes me sniffle) and Jarvis vs. Damon in a steelcage match and whatnot (I'm giving Jarvis the edge here...anyone?). Well, thats that and maybe a little less Steve - who, eventhough the man has disappeared off the earth, still wants to give Gavin Rossdale a good thrashing. PS- Sorry for the semi-violent nature of the posting. I'm actually in quite a jolly mood so I have no idea where the cage matches and thrashings came from. Any psychoanalysts out there care to read a bit deeper into this? +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: we still want more (than anyone can give)
by Natasha Rachel 05 Jun '99

05 Jun '99

On the menu today, Sinisterlanders, we have: things that squeeze into then get dragged out of your subconscious, Calvin and Hobbes, and some football. Mark Casarotto crammed a message with quotable things, the first of which was this: > ...when I was younger (until my early teens, > probably) my idea of an > idyll was to live in a leafy American suburb > with wide roads, driveways, big > detached houses with little verandahs at the > front, And the first image that came into my mind was Tom Hanks' neighbourhood in Big, so then he freaked me out by telling us to imagine none other than- > wee Tom Hanks' neighbourhood > in Big. I think the little green pixies that run the show in everyone's brains (and I mean *everyone's* - there has not yet been a credible report of anyone having escaped them), are cutting corners. It's like the stock exchange in there you know - they're all screaming things like "Buy the Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters! He has to be dragged out every time someone mentions marshmallows." Evidently they got Tom Hanks' Big neighbourhood at a knockdown price and then unloaded it into lots of our unsuspecting subconciouses. Mark then protested that: > (there is nowhere near enough Calvin & > Hobbes discussion on this > list Which I'm going to second. (Actually I think someone else may have picked that up before me, so I'm going to third it...) The Calvin and Hobbes subject fits in in with something Youn Jong Noh said about ageing dulling your sensitivity, because Calvin and Hobbes always manage to bring back my own Calvin Age years that get tucked away under duller things like - to be topical - exam thoughts, as time passes. Reading Calvin's winter exploits makes me want *my* garden to be covered in snow so I can build snowmen that promt the neighbours to think I should be institutionalised. (Hobbes: Why does he [the snowman] have a hot water bottle on his head? Calvin: He's committing suicide.) Calvin also does a lot to solve the world's overpopulation problem. I wonder what the exact number is of people who have vowed never to have kids because of the risk of them turning out like Calvin. Oh look. Here's a poem about England's performance at Wembley earlier today -- Can We Have Our Ball Back, Please? ------------------ England gave football to the world Who, now they've got the knack, Play it better than we do And won't let us have it back.

Re: Sinister: Paris and Schools

Hi, Dave told us: << All I really wanted to say was that going to school and having the best or worst time is what makes you into what you are now, and if your happy with yourself now (which I am) then thats all what counts and in some way the treatment that you got at school helped turn you into that. >> But if people have dislike or ignored you all your life, not only at school, but also after (and I'm talking about almost 30 years), and noone ever really showed you that you aren't completely worthless, can it still be possible to be happy with yourself? If it is, can someone please tell me how? Thank you!

Hello. is anyone going to see ac acoustics and snow patrol on tuesday night?

[RE]Sinister: sententiousness is the best policy while sentencing (a new causative)

I guess it could be >>the change in perspective really does not give you the same access, in the >>same way it is difficult to imagine the fear of walking down a dark >>hallway when you were four. I canŽt be more agree. I saw "welcome to the dollhouse" a year ago (itŽs Todd Solondz very first movie) and itŽs quite representative of some of my school years. ItŽs not that I see myself in the main caracter, obviously (itŽs a thin girl with big glasses) but it shows the cruelty of some kids in our school years. Maybe Solondz suffered this kind of things when he was a kid, because I canŽt imagine other way of creating such representative situations. Another topic: please stop e-mailing me about the BarcelonaŽs gig. IŽve got at least 10 people waiting for a copy, so IŽve got to close my "shop". IŽll e-mail you personally to each one of you. IŽm gonna get the valid copy of the gig in a few days, so youŽll have to wait, and IŽm afraid itŽs going to take a few more days, because IŽm in my exams now. Some Jeepster-questions: Is it true that Salako will also be playing the Benicàssim festival, in august ? is there any little chance of having B&S in that festival ? youŽll see, the dates are quite appropiate, I think.

Re: Sinister: school spirit

So here i was, sitting at a bar i often visit on my own. The longbranch, and sitting by myself, drinking pabst blue ribbon, as usual. And my friend steve and some unfamiliar indie-rock looking charachter that reminded me, for some strange reason, of my cousin eddie. only, much, hipper... they sit down and make me feel cool because i have been sitting there by myself for almost an hour hoping someone cool would come talk to me and make all these fucken weirdos around me think i was there hoping to meet someone, or do whetever it is they do...thats cool. So at a place like the longbranch how could i go wrong, i sit and wait and eventually some really fucken cool people come up and sit down and say all that "hey whats up man. " bullshit. We end up drinking shitloads and the girl at the door has no clue, or doesnt want to pretend to know, that we are going in for free this whole time, shit she doesnt even card us at the door anymore. She does do a lot of crossword puzzles however and thats the biggest turn on in my book. And she knows it. I fucken told her matter of fact. So we sit outside drinking pabst blue ribbon by the bottle, fuck heinekin, listening to this shit ass devil music thats taking place in the bar. Me and Steve and Jesse. Steve has a fetish for underaged girls it turns out, i dont want to ever concieve how we found that out but he fucken admitted the fact after much antagonizing and riddicule from myself and Jesse. We became an arrogant trio , trying to keep the image of being cool and really drunk at the same time we decided to fuck these idiots and leave. So we leave. Hanging out on Steve's porch, drinking pabst again only in aluminum cans wrapped in brown bags. laughing..and having fun. Talking about the Murder City Devils show and the shit that eventually brought us together from that show. It is weird to live in this town, everyone is connected somehow. Anyways, fuck i just felt like writing and you are all the victom of it.
