Sinister: Take the heat off me for a while...
by William Messent 28 Jul '99

28 Jul '99

Hullo everybody, Stuart Gardiner wrote; "I propose we get Pete Waterman to investigate..." Fantastic idea. We could even turn it into a weekly serial, entitled 'Pete Waterman Investigates', in which our hero , an unconventional ex-cop/'hitman' solves chart-rigging mysteries, aided by his bumbling sidekick Michaela Strachan. Wicked. I'll probably watch 'Eyes Wide Shut' when it comes out over here. I saw a review of it, I think it may have been in The Star (an awful UK tabloid - I don't recall exactly *why* I was reading it). Anyway, this was a three word review, reading simply "Eyes wide shit". And that was it. And I must confess, dear readers, I laughed. Out loud. Don't be asking me about perfect mates. I'm going on a date tonight with a lovely girl who owns a clothes shop and lives on a boat. I've fancied her for ages. We're going to hers for food and booze, but I have a question: what is the accepted etiquette when it comes to driving to somebody's house (or boat), and drinking? I want to get drunk with her, but doing so will mean staying over, and I don't want her to think I'm just after a shag. What do I do/say at that crucial point, after a couple of vodka & tonics, when I know if I drink anymore I won't be able to drive home? Umm. A taxi isn't really an option, as she lives miles away. Your thoughts please. You know how much they mean to me. Love Will x === _____________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Sinister: Who you're gonna call? Ghostbusters!
by Gabriela Sampaio 28 Jul '99

28 Jul '99

Dear Listerines, Before I forget, I have to tell you. One week ago I had my first b&s nightmare... with "Poltergeist" elements even. It all started when I turned on the TV to watch a Belle&Sebastian video (I don't know which one, I haven't seen any so far :( ). I was very excited but I couldn't see it because the tv wasn't working. I mean, all I got was that "rain" , you know, the same thing that happened to Caroline's TV in Poltergeist. I was told then that my TV couldn't show that video because the only channel I had belonged to the Catholic TV that didn't allow the b&s video to be on because they considered it heretic (!!). The song was about a little girl that died. That broke my heart. The next morning I wake up with the phone ringing... It was David Kitchen (!!) saying that he was sorry that I couldn't watch that video and that he was going to talk to that owner of that Catholic channel. Suddenly I hear a little girl's voice on the phone... And here comes the next Poltergeist ingredient... It was the dead girl from Belle&Sebastian's song! Just like it happened to caroline... I can't remember exactly what she told me... maybe that she was sorry I couldn't watch the video as well... But hey... wasn't that weird? That's what you get for going to bed listening to "Beautiful"?? I still haven't figured that dream out... Maybe Freud explains (Oh... I'm Electra...!). xxx and sweet dreams!

It really irks me how undiscussed female masturbation is. It's crazy how many of my gal friends have these rambunctious sex lives, and yet none admits to molding the silly putty (I admit I just made that up, thanx). A few have said somethin along the lines of, oh it tickles or they just get tired. I'm of the thought that if you know your body and how you get off, so much the better sex is. Clueless boys (or other girls, 'course) shouldn't be expected to make everything kosher and slippy. I could rant forever about society's confused standards regarding sex and women, but, anyway...teaching it in schools is such a brilliant idea, though it brings that one Monty Python movie to mind. Everyone go practice on some blueberries or something.

Sinister: The loneliness of a long-play record
by Marcus Omond 27 Jul '99

27 Jul '99

hello, my lovelies, i was bored earlier today (having nothing to do until your silly university sends you your reading list can get a touch dull) so i had a look through all my dad's old seven inches. i don't actually like seven inches that much - i don't think they're as pretty as cds, and twelve inches are much cooler. why didn't sixties bands put things on twelves? but i digress... anyway, the wonderful 'loneliness of a middle distance runner' was going through my head, and my heart jumped up a notch when i found one of those soft seven inch things that i think used to be used for promos et cetera - they're all floppy when you shake them around. and it was called 'the loneliness of a long play record (33 1/3 rpm)'. and so i rushed over to the vinyl machine and laid it down. i was greeted by the voice of one mister john lennon, and then yoko came in - they were babbling about giving up drugs, and how beethoven was the way forward or something. then they started singing weird lyrics over the top of beethoven's fifth... bizarre. but then it started sounding really excited and jumpy, and so i pulled it off... hope i haven't scratched it - ouch, that would hurt (when my dad finds out i mean... ;) ). so, does anyone know if this has anything to do with mr stuart 'sexy arms' murdoch's masterpiece? or are they both just reffering to the novella. it's kind of funny that - two of the three greatest songwriters of this century using the same words (almost) in a song title... i wonder if dylan ever refferred to it... now that WOULD be spooky... hmm... list crushes... is it possible to find out who's voted for who? i can't really see how it could be, seeing as you don't type in your name or anything. or maybe i'm underestimating the powers of big brother (and big stu). anyway, i'd be ruined if it was disclosed who i'd voted for. i'm a complete list-slut - i've voted for at least five people. but they all deserve it, because they're all either cute or funny or both. mainly both. especially the gorgeous, sexy, to-die-for geoff... (hope swedish becka got a photo of me kissing him - my finest hour :) ) oh, and i've noticed a problem in the list-crush - both geoff and i are down under two names, and so we don't see our true position reflected. it's not fair! ;) oh yes - i'm very interested in looper's shop performance - it sounds beautiful. if anyone has got it, please mail me privately, and i'll trade you whatever you want from my anorak's collection of b&s thingies. or some dylan. oh, and all you thousands of sinisteroonies i've promised tapes to, they're all on their way (slowly). only ten or so more to go... meganelise is absolutely right about love when she said: >admiration + respect + trust= meganelise's idea of love. (influenced >by >hal hartley's film "trust") >as you can see "need" does not add into this equation... i haven't seen a hartley film ever (phillistine!), but this sounds really right to me. it's not good (for me at least) when someone's going on about needing you and how you're their life and things. i mean, it's flattering at the start, but after a while it just gets annoying (i have this problem with my ickle sister). in fact, in my view the best way it's ever been put is in 'simple things' - 'if you want me, i'll be there' - he's being selfless and supportive rather than saying 'i need you'. and this shows he loves her. my favorite listee by along way explains this much better in her post a while ago about joyce's 'a portrait of the artist as a young man'. oh, i laughed very loud and for a long time earlier today after reading the last paragraph of kevan cooke's post. thank you for cheering up my day :) um, i think that's all i've got to say. hope to see lots of you on primrose hill on saturday - i'll bring booze and crisps. oh, and 'ma vie en rose' is the most beautiful film i've seen in a long time, and i want children that pretty and sensitive. and i won't mind if they cross dress at all. i used to cross dress, actually. natasha can confirm i looked rather fetching in a nurses uniform aged six... i'll go now - love to all (does anyone else have this problem with defining love words - 'going out', 'dating', 'boyfriend/girlfriend', 'in love', 'love' at the end of letters, 'love' proper? english is a twisted and difficult language when it comes to loving. maybe that's part of the reason that the brits are traditionally seen as repressed when it comes to sex... discuss... (sorry, trying to get in the mood for essays after a year of slacking)), love and kisses (if you want them...)

Sinister: I'm a soulmate
by Jan Imgrund 27 Jul '99

27 Jul '99

>> Anyway,to business.Brandt was wondering about a "perfect" mate.I think you'll find that if such creatures existed there would be no relationships.Ever.We'd all be waiting for the perfect person.The best anyone gets is"good enough" or "the best I'm going to get".In my somewhat limited experience anyway. << Well I am reluctant to say so, because no one will believe me, but I think I indeed have found the perfect mate.. a soulmate, *the* soulmate. But I am not in love with her, and shes not in love with me... can one be in love with ones soulmate? Its probably a question of definition: I would say one cant, because there is too much harmony in such a relationship. The way I see it, for a love, there always must be some tension, some difference... and thats of course also the reason why its likely to fall apart at some stage. But with a soulmate, its different.. the way I am feeling now, this is something that can never break up again; the reason perhaps being that we do not feel any kind of duty for each other to stay together, or, to put it simply: Where there is no love, there is no way the love could go away. You can imagine perhaps that I have had a hard time explaining this special kind of relationship to others: it is nothing that fits into any kind of conception society usually stuffs one into. (Its not either a platonic friendship, because, ho-hum... of the lack of platonicity..) Often I just say shes my girlfriend, to go out of the way of complicated explanations. We did not know what to call it either until shes come up with calling me her companion. I like that. I think thats it. We are companions. Maybe its a little like what was going on between JP Sartre and Simone... though I cannot really tell, because I have not read much about what their relationship was like. But of course this kind of thing also has its problems, especially: what happens if one of us falls in love with someone different? I for one still feel that I could very well love someone else, and, even though we have been saying that we dont have to be true to one another, she would certainly be jealous.. as would I in the opposite case. whats more, as we are sharing a flat right now, having a third person in our life would lead to some practical difficulties. Concerning real love, I agree to what Marianne said about the two kinds of love. I have had a few times *this* crush feeling for someone, bt most of the time I knew perfectly well that this could never lead to a relationship... and I did not even try to make it into one. Which means: I had my crush, and I did not do anything, and eventually the feeling would fade. I still think that this was wise, though it was also cowardish (cowardy? cowardly?? sorry for my english) Once, though, the feeling was so strong that I tried my luck anyway, and it ended in a predictable disaster... And the times that there was a proper relationship, there was sometimes this feeling of something missing, as Marianne said. I probably expect too much from love... I dont know. Sometimes I miss being in love, for I have not been in love for quite a long time... but, on the other hand, what I have now is so very much; there is nothing to complain about. I am a happier man now than I ever thought I could be. Well... so there. I just wanted to share. Im afraid there is nothing to be learned from all this; just, perhaps, that love, relationship, is different for everyone and that you only run into problems if you try to figure out what to call your feelings. This does not need names or classifications. Just be as sincere as you can. Oh sorry, that sounds cheesy. Oh, BTW, does anyone know from whom the sentence is: Its better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all? Im ashamed to ask, because its so famous.. but please, have patience with my lack of knowledge.

Sinister: Marine Research meet up, London bla bla
by Martin Robinson 27 Jul '99

27 Jul '99

Hello people, Umm...a shock useful post from me, but only if you're in London on Thursday and intending to see Marine Research. (All of the information contained hereinafter is not the author's responsibility and completely the responsibility of Jim - he of infamous purple trousers) Marine Research are playing the Camden Falcon Thursday, doors open 7.30 pm and MR on at 8.15 pm. They are playing before Brassy who is John Spencers's sister's band and Venini which is ex-Pulp man Russell Senior's band. Tickets are £5 (£4 with concessions). The plan is to meet up at the pub opposite the Falcon which has an Eagle and another word in it's name. If you know this word you're a better person than I. The address of the Falcon is 234 Royal College Street so the pub will probably be similar. Jim will be there at 6.45 pm precisely and will great any friendly faces with open arms. He will be wearing his Jim issue purple trousers and a Mogwai T-shirt. I'll be there about 7 hopefully wearing something clean if I do some washing and maybe even ironed but I doubt it. Anyone quick enough to read this can tune in to Mr Steve Lamacq on United Kingdom's Radio 1 and hear the new Marine Research single around 9. Other news. Fluffy Starry Supercalifadgeristicexpialodosious Sarah, your big huge fucking post on the Jeepster message board has been wiped due to incorrect proceedures. Just to let you know so you can put it back again. Umm..that's all folks I think.

Sinister: add n to (x) subtract b&s (read: no b&s content)
by Jim Schmidt 27 Jul '99

27 Jul '99

this has absolutely nothing to do with belle & sebastian... i just wanted to warn everybody that add n to (x) are going to take over the world. if you have the chance to see them live, do it for your insanity. i'm still high the day after. the image of bare-chested barry perched upon some electronic thingamajig twisting knobs will be forever burned into my hard drive. a theremin is thrown to the ground like a burnt-out guitar. steve jumps maniacally to and fro while ann plays it cool and motions "one more time"...this is sound of computers f***ing, sometimes making love, perhaps contemplating the fate of us mortals while laughing. if anyone knows of a mailing list or has additional info, please contact me personally. i apologize for bugging the list, but i noted that katrina was listening to them a while back and i thought maybe others on this list were into them as well. blownmindjim. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
