Sinister: 12 hours on a bus takes a long time...
by Kimberly Rehak 26 Jul '99

26 Jul '99

...especially if you are sitting next to a smelly man who continuously elbows you in the hip whilst trying to sleep. and especially when you really have to go, you know, to the potty and are too afraid to wake him up to ask to be let into the aisle... waking up this morning was horrible. the dog heard every obsenity that i know as i let her outside to do her business. but i'm hear and at work and bored now. anyway hallo, i just finished sifting through the past four days of sinister, it took me all morning, but it's not like i have got better things to do-not that there *is* anything better to do. [wink] incidently, i have that "manic monday" song by the bangles in my head this morning. it's tres irritating. the 24 hours on the bus (12 each way) to see looper was worth it, though there was a problem with the speakers there handling bass. i, too, was upset with the lack of merchandise sold afterwards. true, i saved myself some money which will buy me dinner tonight at job #4, but it always seems that when i have money to buy something, there is nothing to buy. as opposed to when i wanted to buy some blonde redhead merch last sunday and i had to buy something with the last of my pennies. but when stud stu d. sang winter wooskie as an encore, i almost cried. well, not really, but it gave me a really nice warm feeling inside. maybe since i've been told i look like karn, i was picturing someone singing that to me andi got all mushy. haha, like that would ever happen. i had a dream with my lust object in it the other week. he was "with" this beautiful girl-tall, blonde, beautiful, everything opposite me-who also happened to be carrying his baby! all i could think of was "geez, i get turned down even in my dreams!" aha the coolest thing about new york: the record store kim's video is named kim and had tigermilk on display in the vindow. yeahyeah, i know there are lots of other cool places but hey... anyway, speaking of porn (strangely, i feel like i have been saying this alot lately.): on thursday evening, marie and i had just finished watching the beautiful "ma vie en rose" and her mother came into the bedroom to go to sleep. so marie turned the video off to rewind it and there is this naked girl spread eagle dancing nasty in these stilletto boots. it was funny. but i have to say, marie, that you had a miraculous save with that one! "uh, MOM, what are you watching?" i have a friend who works in a strip club. she's not a dancer though, she just hands out gold cards for the rich patronizers. she always tells me stories about the celebrities that visit. my favorites are those of the backstreet boys and the ones from 'n sync. imagine, these men are taking money from 11 years olds and charming them with their "sex appeal", and then stuffing it down their big sister's g string. yikes. i'm going to lunch now. i sincerly hope that you do not mind me utilizing the list to relinquish some of my boredom at work. i hope this is coherent and makes sense because i don't feel like i do at the moment. billions of love particles and kisskisskisses, KIMberly ps. i hate to use the list for this but: willy i can't write to your new address. what's going on? _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: When it's cold I feel cold, when it's hot I feel ambitious!
by Alasdair Cook MS1996 26 Jul '99

26 Jul '99

OK, so due to the fact that my cousin's wedding is in Oxford on Friday, and I'm going to it, this means that I shall also be attending the London picnic merry-go-round the following day. Yay! I just thought I should give you prior warning so that anyone who has met me can choose to stay away, and anyone who hasn't met me can be told by the people that have met me to stay away as well. However in the unlikely event that lots of people do actually show up, I'm looking forward very much to seeing you all. One other thing, yesterday I was reading the Scotland On Sunday newspaper, and came across an article entitled 'America discovers irony, shock', the irony being in the form of a spoof newspaper called The Onion. There's not many times I laugh out loud while reading, but this was one of them, with such headlines as: More states shifting welfare control to McDonalds. New old people's magazine gives old people something to read while waiting to die. (one for Mr Hewitt perhaps :)) and Instant infant death syndrome linked to bad parents who could have done something. Have any US listees read this? Maybe someone could send me a copy, as I'd love to read it. Or is it on the net? I did a search but nothing turned up except a lot of recipes for soup, which is quite nice, pinch of salt, yes, diced carrots, yes but not really what I'm looking for. Anyways, I shall reiterate my above comments and say I can't wait till Saturday. Bye bye Alasdair xx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: An old man rambles on and then asks pleadingly for some help
by stephen hewitt 26 Jul '99

26 Jul '99

Gosh it seems a long time since i have inflicted myself upon the group in general, although #sinister people have been seeing me quite a lot as I have discovered the wonders of the Chat room. Hurrah for unlimited internet access at work! Free local phone calls in the UK NOW! (and free computers with lots of whizzy bits too). I'm still trying to get my hands on some more Tigermilk posters but no luck yet. Somebody said last week (apols mental faculties going): Something about listening to "Friday, I'm in Love" in sixth grade. Now unless years of watching crappy american school-based sit-coms/soaps have somehow misled me, that means this person was like 12 or 13 when it came out. HOW OLD DO I FEEL NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was my big fave record the first term I was at Uni. I feel it is time to get the zimmer frame out. It's bad enough going out and being the oldest person in the club (except the DJ, who's pushing 40 and looks like Steven Tyler), seeing all these louche youths with their spiky hair and baggy trousers without been surrounded by young'uns here too (at least I can seek solace in booze when I'm out). anywayhoo, I hope that everyone brings exciting food to the London pic-er-nic on Saturday, I seem to remember the Greenwich one being mainly crisps and booze (I only had posh food cos I had a Marks and Spencer voucher to use up). If nobody has any other ideas for post-picnic fun, Ricky Spontane (the band that played at my wedding, but they're like, way cool, not a wedding band or nothing) are playing at the Bull & Gate with Baxendale and a couple of others to launch their new album, so I'll certainly be popping along to that (I've got a stack of £3.50 entry flyers too, if anyone else feels like joining me). The only slight cloud on the horizon re Saturday at the mo is a lack of somewhere to lay my head come nightfall. If anyone has a couple of square foot of carpet (or even lino) spare to rest my weary bones I'd be very grateful if they could get in touch with me. xoxo CarsmileSteve +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: b&s in the acid house
by Amanda Bergman 26 Jul '99

26 Jul '99

or on the soundtrack, at least. yes, they're on it, along with Beth Orton, the Chemical Brothers, and Verve (to name the bands listed on the promotional postcard I have here). the film/soundtrack came out in the UK over 6 months ago, as I recall, and I think the film must be set for release here in the US around late August/early September (soundtrack is available August 10). Looper on Friday here in NY was fabulous...minus, of course, the whining girl who pushed her way to the front and practically draped herself over us. but I guess you can't have it all, eh? beginning to queue now for the 8pm in-store tonight (hehe), Amanda -- If someone steals your cab, then it wasnt your cab. --from Taxi Driver Wisdom >>visit Red Roses For Me<< http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Cabaret/9043/ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Come Together
by Theresa Lowe 26 Jul '99

26 Jul '99

er, Hello! This is my first post to the list and I am afraid to say that it contains smut! I was reading The Observer yesterday and saw an article about the dreaded NC-17 rating, apparently a film awarded this in America finds it almost impossible to gain proper marketing for supposed "Adult" content. American Pie has escaped this certificate - its a film about four blokes who want to lose their viginity before prom night and there is a scene of Theres Something About Mary proportions! This is ok but , Coming Soon has been given the certificate even though it largely covers the same ground (ie three teenagers seeking thir first orgasm) The only difference is that these three are women. A spokewoman admitted that it may have been different if it had been a boy's movie. This is terrible! Society seems to have a problem with female onanism. Mastubation is a good thing and should be encouraged, taught in schools even. Or not. perhaps i should go out more often. Anyway, moving swiftly onwards. Eyes Wide Shut, Star Wars et al pale into significance when compared to the new film starring MacKauley Culkin's brother. I say this only as my friend has just landed a role in it as a pixie! Jim and I got into B&S at the same time and none of our friends really like them so its a sort of shared secret. Jim also introduced me to Nick Drake for which i shall be eternally gratefull. we are both going to All Tomorrows Parties so we hope to see you all there! Cant guarantee any pixie costumes though. He he, just noticed that my list crush vote has been registered. By the way, If Mick Cooke is reading this, will you marry me? Yes, well, I think i have said more than enough. Lots of Love Theresa xox _____________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Sinister: which side of the fence are you on?
by Pinaplcrsh＠aol.com 26 Jul '99

26 Jul '99

In a message dated 99-07-26 00:11:27 EDT, you write: << mark casarotto: " I once went out with a girl because she wanted to figure out her sexuality. No prizes for guessing which side of the fence she came down on (no pun intended). Has this happened to anyone else on the list?" >> growing up a dyke, this happened to me quite a few times. 'oh, i think i like girls' and after you've been ignored for a couple days, 'oh, i just wanted to see if i did and it's not really my thing'. it always makes a girl feel good. i don't let myself get interested in anyone who has a question about it anymore. one thing i love about b&s is how the songs aren't so about boy and girl. the lyrics aren't very strict so you can take them to mean that they're talking about you no matter who or what you are. or at least that's how i take them. i wish i had more to write about to this list. i only have sad things going on and no one wants to hear about that and whenever i have b&s thoughts i'm too shy to say them. there should be an intro when you join the list about how to write a clever post that will be accepted in sinister land. if anyone wants to tutor me, feel free. i'm looking for suggestions on french pop. i love france gall and there's a band called caramel that's good, but i don't know much else. can anyone help? i was thinking of buying some francoise hardy or serge gainsbourg tomorrow. are they worth their hefty prices? thanks in advance. *alyssa marie* p.s. lesley jo, i will write soon. i promise. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: acid dreaming?
by Juliebean 26 Jul '99

26 Jul '99

i read that B&S were going to have a track on a soundtrack which was going to be made for the movie of a few stories from "Acid House" by Irving Welsh... did this movie ever come out? i didn't see it in the states, but i don't know if i just missed it or if i just dreamed it was going to come out after reading some of the fabulous stories in the book right before drifting off to sleep... can anyone please recommend a few good night spots to check out in London and or Edinburgh? I have been to london a few times but have never found any really interesting, comfortable places to dance. i would greatly appreciate the help..... p.s. i don't give a lick about Evan dando, but i think some Lemonheads songs are darn well crafted pop- niblets..there's my two bits .....oh, and isobel campbell is a talented little charm, not worthy of violent hatred juliebean +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: an insight on things new
by John Mahoney 26 Jul '99

26 Jul '99

I was just realizing that Stuart M doesn't sing any of the newer songs (not on the releases). Winter Wooskie, Wrong Girl, Paper Boat, all Murdoch-less! I'm not too familiar with these songs, I've heard them only on the Bowlie set tape, so if any of them arent new at all and I've made my self look like a fool again, please forgive. If there is one thing that I learned when I was a child it's to stay away from the sockets JM +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Everyday can't be like Sunday
by Gabriela Sampaio 26 Jul '99

26 Jul '99

Hello darlings :) Just a few remarks about some things you said: mark casarotto: " I once went out with a girl because she wanted to figure out her sexuality. No prizes for guessing which side of the fence she came down on (no pun intended). Has this happened to anyone else on the list?" Unfortunately I didn't succeed in converting a gay guy to the wonderful straight world, showing him the yellow brick road to the lovely boy&girl land... hehe. When I thought I was almost doing it, as he was saying that he was a "heterosexual in the closet" and he was an "ex-gay" and all... I caught him snogging a little boy...*sigh* Suppose the "Pink Team" is just too good to compete against? hehehe... Besides... there are no ex-gays... are there?? And Genevieve said something really funny... " They should have a Bowlie in July when its HOT HOT HOT. Struan,Mick and StuD will be Pool Boys #1,#2 and #3.In loincloths,naturally." Hehehe! Stuart D... the Stud!! in loincloths...! wooohooo!! :)) And I agree with Chris Butler: "ideally, there would be a list of cities/countries people could associated their name and email with. not necessarily separate mailing lists or whatnot, but just a list of people based on location. even better would be a little map with pins in it for everywhere people are from and you could click on a pin/city, and see who's from there. it'd be great for travelling - a sinister map of the world." What do you think about that Honey? Isn't that a lovely idea?? Don't you just hate Sundays? TV crap shows, waiting for manic Monday to come, bad mood, PMS, my fat gob... and all I can think about is: do something shitty while you can... God! Can't wait for Friday! xxx Gabi ICQ# 8042374 "Only the shallow know themselves" Oscar Wilde +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
