Sinister: we migt as well collect belle tapes until we die

19 Jul '99

ok sorry sinisters, it was not my meaning to upset people by send my previous email. all i tried to do is write down my answer to one question. so my answer was not completely right - oooh no, i feel soooo bad about myself... > > - Family Tree (have only been heard in dublin if my memory is right) > >Oooh, that's a new one to me! well maybe the song isn't called Family Tree, the boy that copied the show to me listed the song as Family Tree, if now the song is really called Hail To All Tweefuckers, then ok. > > - Hurley's Got A Dream (or Hurley's Having Dreams, demo) > > - Pocketbook Angel (i only have this one on demo tape aswell) > > - London Has Let Me Down (i got this from a demo tape) > >None of these are, to my knowledge, B&S songs. They were all >written & recorded by Stuart M before the formation of the band. Hmm so the line is quite thin isn't it? Would you call Beautiful a Belle track of a Lisa Helps The Blind track? So if Belle all the sudden decided to throw Hurley's Got A Dream on a B-side, then woops, it's a Belle and Sebastian song? >Actually, "What goes on" is a Velvet Underground song, rather than a > >Beatles song. Plenty of other bands have covered it regularly, from >the >Feelies to Screaming Trees to Luna to Pavement. Yeah you are actually right. Boo me. >I recall hearing that all the songs on the next album would be >Stuart M. >songs, which cast a doubt on the likelihood it'll be on >the next album. >Then again, I haven't had time to listen to my >Bowlie tape yet, isn't >Winter Wooskie/Woofkie a Stuart D. song, and >isn't Landslide an Isobel >one? yeah yeah but in an interview i read they would do records specially for different members, but i don't recalling the next would be Murdochs. but you're probably right. fjärilspussar, Johan OPERATIONAL THINKING AT WORK ______________________________________________________ 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: no.13 with a bullet
by JJ 19 Jul '99

19 Jul '99

Oh well, never mind. As you may or may not know, Tigermilk went into the UK album charts this weekend at number 13, and there was me thinking it'd beat the number 12 slot held by it's predecessor. No. We saw REM last night, they were so BORING. Teenage Fanclub supported and they were NOT boring in fact they kicked arse. They *were* rock. Evening all.

RE: Sinister: blair witch/eyes wide
by Troy Hakala (Exchange) 19 Jul '99

Have to disagree. Eyes Wide Shut is the best movie made in the last 2 years. Slow talking and the "sparse piano music"? Ever seen 2001? It's called "effect" - not all movies are meant to keep you on the edge of your seat. And you must have been compelled by the "cult" and what that was all about. And 2001 was also hated by critics in its day, yet those same critics now call it one of the best movies ever made. Kubrick is (was) a great moviemaker. It's unfair to dismiss his movie as a "tit flick". Now, if you wanna talk about really bad, overhyped movies, check out The Thin Red Line (I survived it last night). It makes Saving Private Ryan look interesting. Moral of the story: war is bad. Provocative? For a good war movie, see Full Metal Jacket (also Kubrick). troyhakala sent with Office E-mail on Windows 2000 -----Original Message----- From: Jim Schmidt [mailto:Jim.Schmidt@sfweekly.com] Sent: Monday, July 19, 1999 9:26 AM To: sinister(a)Majordomo.net Subject: Sinister: blair witch/eyes wide someone asked: American listees who have seen either "Eyes Wide Shut" and "Blair Witch Project" (can't wait to see both of 'em). ok,ok...i have to say that i haven't been so overly disappointed by two seemingly exciting films in a long time. my advise is: don't buy the hype. save your money for another copy of tigermilk.

Sinister: I've been called a ponce.
by geoff 19 Jul '99

19 Jul '99

God bless you all, little sinisterines, 'Uncle Geoff,' they softly implore, their upturned little faces shining with excitement and wonder, 'Why don't you ever post to The List?' 'Kids, kids, kids,' I reply, 'I don't have time. And besides, I'm always too drunk.' 'Tell us another story, then.' OK, ok, this one's called: 'How I got my wallet nicked and nearly got my head kicked in that time in the George Tavern'. I'm working on a snappier title, but that's your ronson, for the nonce. It starts as a fairly normal thursday ends. Cradling what seems like my 7th pint of the black stuff in unshaking hands, I am seated at what appears at first glance to be an average table in an average pub. Look closer. There is tension in the air. The mixture of fey kids with university educations and football hooligans with chips on shoulders is an explosive one. At that very moment a spark is released, and, dear brother, dear sister, this is very fucking dry tinder. 'Geoff,' -an inquiring tone, but with the venom and hatred of 20 odd years of underachievement behind it - 'why are you smoking that cigarette . . . like a *POOF*?' I check my internal Walk / Don't Walk light. It is green. The signalman is probably out the back thowing up perfect pints of guinness into straight sided glasses. Or dead down the drains. I take a deep breath. 'I'm not gay,' I started, (better to be safe than sorry) 'But if I *was*, would you have a problem with that?' '*I* would!' pipes up neanderthal #2. This one is *really* evil looking. This one has scars on his face from when he got a teargas canister right in the mush during the World Cup riots in France. 'I think they're fucking disgusting!' 'I don't believe this!' I countered. 'Next you'll be telling be you're racists an' all' That, dear reader, is exactly what they were about to tell me. Apparently, what my problem is, is that like all these poncy bloody student cunts they fucking teach 'em to be queer don't they? Born with a silver spoon in the gob, the likes of me have got it all, and we still don't have the decency to hate the fucking blacks. The most effective treatment, I am told, is a fucking good kicking. Taking the underground back to my bolt-hole, I pondered the wisdom of my actions. I had stood up for what I believed in, and lost my wallet in the process. I had singularly failed to reduce the number of homophobic / racist assholes at large, yet seriously increased the number of people who want to kick my head in. Bigottry had prevailed, and I hadn't. What's a wooly-minded liberal boy to do? I love each and every one of you with a passion that scorches my very soul, geoff x +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: bored bored bored

Darling listfiends, I went charidee shopping today, I bought a kid's mighty morphin' power rangers t-shirt which looks just super against my british (read: pasty) skin. Oh yeah. James said: > friends. The reaction was weird beyond degree. Have you ever had the > feeling that your person you're talking to is actually talking to > someone else, y'know, they talk back to you, but it doesn't follow on > from what you've just said. Did this happen to anyone else? Oh yes. I dress a little differently to the majority of my friends I know from school, not that I dress particularly well, but occasionally they get all hot under the collar and start saying: "Why? why dress like that? you don't have to. You look stupid. It's like you don't *want* to fit in" "well I like the way I dress" "but why! why!" I'm going to a party on wednesday, I think. It's a bond party, so I'm guessing I'll have to try and make a bond-girl outfit, though I thought it would probably be more interesting to go in a suit and slick my hair back like Roger Moore. I was pleased to hear that garbage are recording the new Bond theme music, not because I'm a particular fan, but it's interesting to see someone without such a typically velvety-swoon doing their bit, as Shirlee will. I went to my grandma's and she gave me a bottle of Babysham grandmas I left, saying "It's only 6% dear, don't worry, you're only young once, eh?". I was quaking in my boots, I can tell you. why did you let my kitten die?

Sinister: Bingley Bongley Beep!
by Jason Andreas 19 Jul '99

19 Jul '99

I just noticed that someone (sanity in question, probably) has given me a list crush vote! I'm deeply honoured, so please, let me know who it was, huh? Well, I've had a VERY bad week. Saturday night, 2 of my friends were assaulted on the last bus. Last night, there was a murder next door to me. It's a place called Cairntoul Court in Cumbernauld, it'll probably be on the news. I've spent the entire morning fighting off the vultures known as the press. I didn't know the guy, I'd never even met him, but it was still quite a shock to be woken by CID asking if I heard anything. I'm sorry for posting this, but I had to get it off my chest, and yet again I'm glad for the relative anonyminity of the net. Tigermilk rocks ass! I bought it as soon as I could (Tuesday) and along with the Godspeed YBE EP, it's been my soundtrack to the week. My fave song is Expectations, or maybe She's Losing It, or... or... Nah, they're all great! I would like to add my voice in defence of Electronic Renessaince (good spelling not included), it may be different from the rest of their output, but it's not a bad song because of that. Just relax and enjoy the beauty :) Star Wars was fantastic, roll on Episode 2! Very mixed post this time round, wasn't it? Still, I'll try to do better next time.
