Sinister: '...i hate hostipals...'
by 'Beeding Gums' JaMeS 09 Jul '99

09 Jul '99

...to quote Baldrick. I love Blackadder. One of the best comedy creations ever, methinks. Ooooww!!! ooh, the pain, the pain!! So ive just been to hospital and had my wisdom teeth removed- my gums are bleeding and swollen and my tongue and lips are numb. Im waiting in hope that i DO get feeling back, i was rather shocked when the doc said there was a 1 in 500 chance of having a permanently numb liip/tongue; doubly shocked when my friend whos having her wisdom teeth out said that her doc said the odds were closer to 1 in 10. YIKES!! dont do this to me please!!! I havent had the opportunity to fully use my lips or my tongue yet, it would be just my luck to come out of this with no feelings in them... ..Hooray!!! Could Honey/ or anyone give me, in the style of Lard, give me a big WAAAAAAP!! as i just found out that i passed my exams!! Yay me! just scraped a 2:1 average. not too bad i suppose. B&S content- havent received my copy of Tigermilk yet, fingers crossed it'll come tomorrow. Also, am wondering if anyone is going to the Annexe in London on Monday for the tigermilk promotion thingy. i dont know anyone whos going and was wondering if anyone from the list is planning on going. though if i did go i probably wouldnt be much good as i wouldnt be able to converse with anyone properly....

Sinister: I'm shallow but only on the surface
by Laura Llew 09 Jul '99

09 Jul '99

A big hello to all intelligent life forms everywhere. And to everyone else out there, the secret is to bang the rocks together, guys... My roadtrip for the fourth of July was wonderful as expected. Arizona is lovely this time of year. Especially if you're planning a trip to the core of the sun and want to acclimate yourself to the heat first. My friend that I went with favorite group is also the Pixies - so we listened to all of their stuff. Very nice. Of course, that is where our musical tastes end. I like his music but he has no tolerance for mine. In fact, he despises Looper and calls them Lupus. Not very amiable of him, eh? I also have the same fears as your friend and mine steve when he said, "I find myself thinking over my musical past.Is it just me or does musical preference get slower as you get older? Between the ages of 16 and 22 I would have died for the Pixies,I now hit 25 and I adore B&S... When I hit 30 shall I adore Phil Collins? Shoot me now." I've always been a die hard Pixies fan and am sluggishly moving onto full fledged allegiance to Belle and Sebastian. I still like the hard stuff though - so maybe I'm not completely deteriorating. Though, I want y'all to promise that if any of my e-mails start reflecting the beginnings of a like for Phil Collins, Michael Bolton, or Kenny G - just torture me. Lock me in a room with nothing except for a big screen repeatedly showing mento commericals with the sound blasting giving me nothing to eat but top ramen for the rest of my life. Anything - anything but becoming a Micheal Bolton fan. It'd be worse than liking Rex Manning. Sexxyyy Rexxxyy. Ack! Shock me shock me shock me with that deviant behavior. Heart-broken Sandra sounds like she is going through some torture of her own with "Last night i saw this "god" coming out of a friends bedroom half dressed leaving a naked woman lying in bed.I cannot understand why he did this to me. What have I done wrong to deserve having my tender heart broken." Big hugs to you Sandra. If I were there, I'd bring ice cream, chocolate, and a box of kleenex over so you could talk about it and we could trash him. Say how he dhas a old black heart which pump not blood like yours or mine, but rather a thick, vomitous oil that oozes through to his rotten veins and clots in hispea-sized brain which becomes the cause of his Nazi-esque patterns of uncaring and violent behavior. Then everytime I saw him I would give the scum bag withering looks. But I'm not there so I'll just send out my thoughts to you. And give the un-helpful words that time puts everything into perspective. I also had a crush fall through last week. Too bad he didn't fall through a 10 story window or something. Actually, I'm not too terribly disappointed. I just now know why they are indeed called "crushes". All I know is that rejection kills. Disappointment only maims. But rejection slaughters. Well there's my pithy thought for the day. May gypsies camp in your stomach and their bears do the Katchozki in your liver... erh I mean have a sparkling day! Laura Llew (i figure that if I change the way I sign my posts each time that no one will notice my subtle ways to take over the world starting with this list. wait. i guess this isn't very strategic, eh?) _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

Sinister: Tigermilk Tape Support Group

It might seem silly, but my instinct is to stick with the = > > one I've spent the last year listening to. I've been thinking about this too. I just got my new Tigermilk too (hurrah!) and ironically I'm sitting here listening to my old tape. Ok, so it might have something to do with the fact that I'm sitting in a computer room with a perfect stranger across the room who might not appreciate me playing B&S too much (oh and there's no CD player here), but I'm feeling kind of reluctant to abandon the tape. Imagine the thousands of tapes (and MD:s and stuff) that will fall out of work the next couple of weeks, replaced by shining CD and vinyl records. What's this going to do to all the poor tapes? It must be sort of like when an only child gets a little sister or brother who suddenly gets all of the parents' attention and goes to bed crying at night because no one remembered to say good night and everybody is cuddling the wrinkly baby. I think it calls for a Tigermilk Tape Support Group (must have some catchy abbreviation though). Therapy, people! Group discussions for the former champions of tapes to overcome the drama of suddenly being reduced to dust-collecting bits of plastic. Or, we could make them see it as retirement from a duty well-performed and send them off to Florida or some place to spend the rest of their lives sipping purple drinks with umbrellas, playing golf whenever they get an empty moment and talking about the old days when they got to see the world, travelling across continents in small brown parcels. What do you think? Alternatively someone could collect as many tapes as possible and create a Tigermilk tape statue in the memory of all the tapes that so bravely served their task whilst needed, fighting for the equality of those who didn't have 250 pounds for a proper copy. All sinistereens could make suggestions to what shape the statue should be, and whoever thinks of the best idea gets to be swamped with old tapes and make the damn thing, which later could be unveiled at a grand ceremony with Stuart M (possibly wearing a kilt made out of cassettes) cutting one of those nice red ribbons. I bet the tapes are hoping for the Florida alternative though. Or maybe someone else has a much better suggestion for the fate of the cassettes? Go on. :) Ok, I'll shut up now and go home and listen to the CD anyway. Not until I've had a good talk with tape though, so that it doesn't feel neglected. I might even bring it down the pub and buy it a drink as way of saying thanks. Cheerio, Anna :) P.S. Stephane - thank you very much for the photos and tape I got in the mail! Sorry I'm not emailing you personally to say merci, but I will as soon as I get a chance, I am in a bit of a hurry right now. :) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Re: Sinister: was that a quote from a movie?
by Jygsaw18＠aol.com 09 Jul '99

09 Jul '99

sarah wowed the multitudes* by saying *me << My friends say "Who the fuck is Ennio Morriconne? Are you buying theme tunes to Cowboys and Indians films???" I mumble shamefacedly..." But its good...."... >> Ennio morriconne IS good. I've got several albums, and if anyone doesn't know what his music sounds like, i invite you to hear this. *ahem* aiyiiiiiiiyiyi.. wa wa wa. aiyiiiiiyiyi! wa wa wa wa wa! no, really. It was supposed to be the theme song to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Very catchy stuff. He also did the soundtrack to a little known Orson Wells movie called Blood and Guns, in which the bandit "TJ" rapes and pillages his way across Mehico. In the name of freedom, of course. definitely a classic, with the trademark surprise ending that's just now catching on in the Indie film market. then sarah said: << I hope she didn't have a piddle in the sea. Urgh - think of how many people must have wee-d in the sea over the years. Urgh. I bet its nothing but piss. Urrrrrrgh.>> How'd you think it got salty? I mean, the rivers that feed the sea are all freshwater. It's from eons of swimmers thinking "it's so much easier than walking back on shore. I'll just...ahhhh! it's very warm" etc. Plus the fish. Nasty buggers. They don't care where they void their fishy little bowels. I'm trying to include at least one disgusting comment that is completely unnecessary in every email. I think I have succeeded PS on a serious note, it' s good to see our favorite listmummy out of his sarcophagus. I was starting to worry a bit, but it looks like he's out terrorising archaeologists once more. dave +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

We were talking about the band and he asked if i was a fan. I said, "erm, well, not really.. i like quieter music, mostly." He asked for specifics, and i told him "Belle and Sebastian". He looked very confused. I suspect he had no idea who they were. Like many Americans. And in fact some Scots, too. A friend was talking to some comrades who were from Glasgow, and she asked them about our little popsters. They said the name "didn't ring a bell". Clever. Travis: thanks for the tape. I got it yesterday, and yours was sent out today. dave +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Slide rulers (not a dick joke)...
by Walkn10＠aol.com 09 Jul '99

09 Jul '99

I saw Fountains of Wayne tonight in DC and it was truly incredible. They have the most energetic and brillant live show I've ever been blessed with attending and once they got appropriately liquored up they were also some of the funniest bastards. In between songs the lead singer broke into an impromptu version of "How Soon Is Now" and actually did a half decent Morrissey impersonation, then they covered a Cars song in the breakdown of a song awhile later. They played a brand new song about a woman who is part of a magic act (she repeatedly gets sawed in half) who becomes fed up and escapes only to realize she can't make a living doing anything else so she comes back. It was hilarious, but maybe thats one of those things you have to be there to appreciate. Afterwards they invited us into the VIP lounge (much to the chagrin of the club security) and I asked Adam (the bassist, and also the guy who wrote the theme song to that wonderful movie "That Thing You Do") whether he was a B&S fan and he professed to love IYFS but he said he was kind of cool on TBWTAS. He said he loved Struan's voice and that he thought he was an incredible songwriter and he started to say something else as well but the club security kicked us out so the thought remained unfinished. I'm not sure how popular FOW are in the UK but evidenced by the turnout tonight (they sold out the entire 900 capacity club) they seem to be getting quite big over here. They're a Weezer-ish pop foursome and they kick ass or something...well I'm exhausted.

Sinister: Not Quite Fancy.
by .gibby. 09 Jul '99

Grrr.. just got in from work-- my friends band "the crossed out heirs" from Harrisonburg, VA is staying with me for a week, and playing here in Boston twice during... and I had to close my coffee place tonight, so i got home at 11:30 (just now). Everyone is GONE. It's my roommates birthday so i suppose they've all gone out to enjoy themselves... my workmates invited me to go along to the cambridge common for some drinks but that place is so... common. Im all lonely and all. I live with 5 people including the 4 band folks this week and nobody's in... I know im going to end up either playing solitaire or watching my Sister Wendy video collection. :( At any rate. boredom. love<3gibby PS: my previous post, about not being capable of relationships, whatever, talking about crushes and all-- well the one relationship i had seemed to somewhat keep ahold of fell apart after the Marine Research show at the middle east (boston), and continued falling until this morning when it crashed hard. But amongst the rubble of depression and helplessness lies a glimmer of hope and freedom in the realization that now i can persue mystery girls 1, 2, and 3. Though I know not where they hang out, nor dwell, or even if they know my name. blah. OH! I got a new place to spin, and will have the first night August 5th. I will keep everyon posted. -g<3<3.oOo.oOo. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
