Sinister: picnic observations
by vicky.parkinson＠cwcom.net 05 Jul '99

05 Jul '99

this was composed on sat night, by Alix and myself after the first London picnic, but due to our inebriated state we were unsuccessful in our attempt to send it. (I had an excuse as I had to numb the pain from my ankle with whisky macs) anyway, our pathetic attempt: > dear sinister > > hello, rather drunken report of the picnic on primrose hill, it was a picnic, we > ate pringles, as one has to, and whinged about having to walk bloody miles just to > use the loo, and played football, and miss vicky hurt her ankle and she still limping. > if i was a doctor id do something, but i'm not. after all the football fun we retired > to a pub and got drunker. what fun. now, being complete saddoes, we're writing to > you. though, if we were more sober this certainly wouldnt have occurred and were > going to regret it. but i'm sure we'll be able to laugh merily at the miriad spelling > errors that ive managed to produdfe. ive been correcting a lot too, so you dont knoe > the halkf of it. we've been listeing to a PROPEr tigermilk. be jealous, else i kill > you. anyway, enough now. we're going to eat bacon for breakfats with mayyonnaise > abd maustard. not right now though, thats just plain silly. we can wait until morning, > oh yeh. > > byebye > love > vicky and alix I have to remind you that I had nothing to do with the typing, as I was lying in agony next to Alix, and you *really* should have seen the typos she corrected. Anyway, Sunday was good fun, although people were rather more sedate and quieter, wonder why.... and we got chucked out of the Spread Eagle, the traditional haunt for after the alcohol has run out on Primrose Hill, cos we didn't all have ID, but I got asked for it, and I'm really old, so I made a point of loudly saying, wow, how cool being asked for ID at 24, and he scrutinised my ID, as if I was lying about my age. But it was lovely to meet lots and lots of new faces, and to anyone that I promised a tape to but didn't deliver, send me an email and I'll sort out popping them in the post An happy belated birthday to Sam, who got us discount on our food and then was going to go hungry cos he didn't have enough money to himself some, silly sausage. And I got time off work cos my ankle's so bad, on the first day I get paid sick leave, after 6 months employment, which sounds a bit dodgy I know, but I will proudly show them the bruise when I return to work, whenever :) Tigermilking on Friday 13th August, upstairs at the Garage.

Sinister: Lets talk B&S
by Tony 05 Jul '99

05 Jul '99

Met someone at Kandinsky exhibition. They asked if I was going to the Matador birthday celebrations. I said probably to Friday and Sunday They said they thought that Saturdays special guest are going to be: BELLE & SEBASTIAN because B&S are on Matador in the states. Is it too good to be true ? ____________________________________________________________________ Get free e-mail and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1 +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: more filth from POPkins, plus other stuff
by Jygsaw18＠aol.com 05 Jul '99

05 Jul '99

Is it just me, or have the posts all gotten much better recently? Excluding my own, of course. I just go on about dumb shite. That said, here's another long missive, with tales of drunkeness and one sentence about Belle and Sebastian. But loads about coughing blood. Cheers to Mister P!O!(o)P!kins for the letter about feces. I liked it loads. Perhaps loads is the wrong phrase to use.. truly the gentle waves are a divisive group. they have created diametrically opposed viewpoints in people who were regarded as sane. Much like a religion.... I've noticed that people here seem to talk about stuart murdoch more than God. AND I have just as many list crush votes as old stu.* From this we can infer that my ego will be swelling mightily. * last time i checked. and no fair running off and voting for stu just to spoil my day Follicle-Challenged Ramsdale also wrote an excellent letter, as usual, and mentioned an interesting point. ARE there any kinds of music that are mutually exclusive? I don't think so...I've got Public Enemy and Belle and Sebastian. and I listened to Black Uhuru and the Braveheart soundtrack the other day. I can't be bothered to actually quote anyone, so I'll just make incorrect assumptions based on my memories of their letters. Let's see.. Iron Jim Hamilton was going on about a new crush. i say good for him. A crush is one of the better forms of drug, as I told him earlier in a separate post that is none of your business. I haven't had a good crush in forever. Like Java slingin' gibby said "The new face becomes an old hat and you can either move on or make the best of it" Which is an awesome line. I plan to use it in the future. <<the following contains a few gross bits about coughing blood>> Did anyone else get roaring drunk to celebrate the fourth of july? (sorry to offend UK listees. I wasn't responsible for the revolt, honestly i wasn't) I was mourning for a friend of mine who is going into the army..I vaguely recall chugging a blenderful of vodka collins after drinking a small loch of beer. My friend told me i hit on several girls, menaced a few people with a steel baton, and then went comatose in an armchair. It may be all lies, but this morning I vomited a good deal . and I've coughed up blood a few times. Has this happened to anyone else before? is it hazardous? Please let me know, as I'm too broke to go to the doctor. Having firmly cemented my reputation as a dangerous drunk with poor personal habits, I will now throw in some BS content. I mean B&S. I was wearing a study at stowe shirt. there. One more thing. Has anyone ever woken up at home and thought "now how did I get here?" My uncaring mates lugged me into my car to sleep it off and I somehow drove away, despite an inability to see or walk. I made the 20 minute drive home and got into bed. I am very very frightened by this experience. Some part of my brain said "drive" when i was in my car... so can I be part of the paula cullen booze exposition? expedition? expulsion? a very dizzy and ill dave +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Re: Sinister: Loads More Bollox, Crap, Arse, etc.
by MWaggner＠aol.com 05 Jul '99

05 Jul '99

David Moore sent quite the huge pile of stuff: > & the punk ones. This involved blue stack-heeled boots (& plenty of twisted > ankles), purple brushed denim flared jeans, & my mate Glenda making me up > with lots of mascara & eye shadow. Oh oh oh, Mr MOORE! Have you any photos? Send them along RIGHT NOW to the sinisterine gallery... Enquiring Minds Want to Know. Well, I suspected you were hiding something under that natty suit and tie in London... as we all are, David :) In the attic I have a box of... oh nevermind :) Wouldn't it be nice to see some photos of Tim P!O!Pkins back... oh, 8 or 10 or 12 years? I can't imagine.... Now, I can see Keith as a wee boy in a ruffly edwardian shirt and hip-hugging bell-bottoms, windmilling his air guitar and diving into his little plastic wading pool which he's filled with gelatin sugar... the family's broken television set there next to it on the lawn. But Tim? Would it be him done up in his dreadlocks and little rompers with the red,green,black and yellow Heile Selassie portrait woven in, tending his little garden of ganja plants? Perhaps his parents' home movies, with his mum saying, "And this is our little mon, Tim, eating a cheese sandwich.... No mon-nie -- don't cry?" > some new Star Wars Lego for Fathers Day, complete with a little cloaked > bloke clutching a light sabre. I've never seen a Star Wars film all the way through... but I DID get a light sabre with a gyroscope in the handle... you push the button and the sabre part glows... the whole thing makes a sort of revving / whirring noise and it sort of moves on its own when you swing it... now that I think, it's kind of like a state of the art sci-fi sex toy for Amazons... did they have them in the films? in favour of stepping out with Sally to see Courtney > Love's Hole in Brixton. Hotpants are coming back: the off the wall > bass-player's were leather, I think, to match the F.M. boots, & Ms Love's > were more like a big pink glittery nappy than anything else. B&S content? > she also sported a pair of fairy wings. An experience. I went to see Hole ... oh, about 4 or 5 years ago, under duress... and I must say, Courtney was brilliant for what she was. She took the stage in a ratty thrift store dress that looked like she'd been doing things you'd rather not know about in, slung her guitar low on her pelvis, hiked up the dress and put her foot up on the monitor, showing the crowd of testosterone driven teenaged boys her panties... and then she played a hard-driving set that drove them wild. She finished by diving into the crowd of lads... lotta guts, that woman. At first I thought, "how ridiculous, or insane" but then I realized she was doing EXACTLY what she meant to do, and she was in complete control of her persona at the time. Lotta balls, that Courtney, and more power to her, whether one likes the music or not. Sometimes it's great to just entertain / be entertained. (Shut up, Hopkins, I believe you've lost some credibility -- we all KNOW you bought the Paul Kantner memorial stool, the one preserved in the lava lamp. It was posted to alt.MethinksYouDothProtestTooMuch) (In that box in the attic... one pair of suede hotpants, and one pair of crocheted ones...down at the bottom, under the mirror dresses....) > > Isobel. I don't know her well enough to comment on her temperature, as I've > only seen her 6 times, 5 of which during gigs. I can see that it might be > possible for someone to gain the impression that she's a spoilt little > madam who likes to be the centre of attention, but perhaps its best not to > base a judgement on such limited experience. Have to agree here... I've seen 6 gigs as well (would have been 7 if not for that fateful Philly thing) and began by thinking she was shy then moved on to thinking she's just pouty and rather self-centered and perhaps working on an "image." Nothing wrong with that, if you like the image, but I've been tempted to act the mom and say, "Wipe that pout off your face young lady, before it gets stuck like that. Then you'll be sorry." Apparently she's said she thinks Americans hate her -- but it's a big country and I don't think everyone does -- and she didn't look any happier on stage on her home turf, or closer to it. But, she might be perfectly nice and sweet in the real world, with her friends and her trees. Warm even. I saw her dressed like a little cowgirl once... it was slightly more endearing than the kittycat ears :) Last night I saw Marine Research... they were wonderful. And I did think, partway through, that Amelia was the "real" thing and Miss Isobel could take some lessons. I did. But again, who can tell from gigs, eh? Am I the only one (I usually am...) but does Harvey Williams, just how he looks when he's sitting or standing there, put anyone else in mind of Stuart M? Sorta. Oh, nevermind. Miss Starry said, a few days back, that she wouldn't be a very good advice columnist... I disagree, and think everyone should send her their problems and get a dose of her "tough love" advice :) Her mix of rude words and exotic cocktail recipes should straighten out even the saddest and most forlorn amonst the thousands. Not to mention her Japanese minimalist trash bin home decor hints. Oh, and I was wrong awhile back, about the Hefner single -- it wasn't a "new" single, it was their first single, that Stuart plays organ on. But maybe I've already been corrected. God, couldn't I be doing something more productive with a day off? "Yes," you say. So, I'm going to set off some fireworks to celebrate our independence from the mother country. A day late, but what the hey. --michele +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: A turd by any other name will sell a treat
by Tim Hopkins 05 Jul '99

05 Jul '99

Don't read this message if you're of a delicate disposition. Please. No, really. Honestly, I don't want anyone to be offended. Oh go on then, bleedin' read it if you must. But don't blame me. During a brief constitutional in deepest, darkest Chelsea yesterday (bad part of town, you can't move for rugby-playing big beasts wanting to rough you up for not having been in the correct house at Eton or whatever) I passed an attractive little emporium and noticed a sign on the window saying 'Singers stools in stock now!' Well, as I'm sure you all know, a Singer's stool is a seat of adjustable height used by seamsters and seamstresses the world over. I have been after one for a little while, as it would be just the thing for the conservatory this summer. Anyway, I ventured within and asked to inspect the stools. "Whose are you interested in, sir?" asked the helpful Australian shop assistant. "I don't care who it used to belong to, just so long as it is of adjustable height and made from a wood which is not too dark, for if it is too dark then it will not suit the conservatory one little bit." "Sir, I think you misunderstand." She reached below the counter and pulled out a number of wooden plinths. Upon each sat what can only be described as a big, varnished turd. "These are the stools. I can't tell you where we get them from, I'm afraid," she went on "but each comes mounted as you see on a wooden plinth with an engraved plaque and a certificate of authenticity." Well, I have to tell you that after my initial revulsion I was intrigued. "Tell me," said I, "whose craps do you have in stock at the moment?" "Well," said she, "our current range includes a very nice Eric Clapton here, a vintage pre-conversion Bob Dylan, and a presentation box of 'Some Girls'-era Rolling Stones. These Elton Johns are surprisingly popular. People like to buy them for Mother's Day presents. Pink Floyd fans seem to have an insatiable appetite for any old shite turned out by Roger Waters." "Don't you have anyone a bit less...err...boring?" "Not to this standard, sir. But..." She grimaced and pulled a disgusting, liquid-filled carrier bag from under the counter. "This is one of the most solid Shaun Ryders we've ever had, but as you can see, it's still not much use. Oh, you might be interested in this..." >From a cardboard box in the rear of the shop she pulled long-ignored specimen and blew the worst of the cobwebs off, causing a minor dust storm. Beneath the dust, it appeared to be solid silver! "This one's a Morrissey. We used to do a roaring trade in these, couldn't get enough of them, but it seems to have dropped off completely now. It's doubly strange, because these days he has disappeared so far up his own arse that fecal memorabilia is almost impossible to obtain. "We're thinking of diversifying a little, getting a little more creative. We're doing a series of Posh Spice and David Beckhams weaved into a love knot. We're looking at developing a Whistler whistle. The problem is just that they're so difficult to hollow out, you know?" I nodded, although I must confess to you I have no clear idea about the difficulty or otherwise of the jobby hollowing process. "Do you have any Belle and Sebastian?" She looked a bit shocked. "Children and pets are against company policy, sir. We feel they attract the wrong kind of clientele." "No, I mean the popular Scottish beat combo." "Hmmm...I'm not sure. Are they good? What is their diet like?" I shrugged. "Oh they're probably vegetarians. They look like vegetarians. I heard the lead singer was once so disgusted by the thought of eating a plate of sausages that he started thinking his breakfast was talking to him." She scowled. "Vegetarianism, it's so bad for our trade. That Morrissey you have there," gesturing to the greying, dusty lump of human waste I cradled like a baby, "we had to chromium plate it because it was too soft to varnish. The quality of the actual pellet is vastly improved by a poor-quality, fibre-free diet. A 100% burger diet gives just the right consistency and, if treated with care, will retain its natural curvature beautifully. "Oh! Hold on! Belle and Sebastian?" she continued "aren't they that Gentle Waves splinter group?" "Err, well, kind of, I guess." "Now you're talking. Any kind of Gentle Waves excremental ephemera goes like hot cakes. Hot cakes! It's odd, though. About half of the customers who buy Gentle Waves samples bring them straight back, all abusive and swearing that they stink worse than that warm Gomez piss they sell in that caff next door. The others buy them as fast as we can source them. Say they're using them for air freshener. Say they make their room smell of the glorious waft of honeysuckle on a spring morning. Can't understand it myself. They're just grunties like anyone else's. They do buff up nicely, to be fair." I made my excuses and left. If I was going to buy P!O!P! dumps, I wasn't going to do it in this depressing, antiseptic environment. No! I was off post-haste to indie scumland where I could buy the real thing, pure and unvarnished. Where the person selling me the cack would be doing it for the love not for the profit, because they live and breathe pop pooh, to the point of dressing in it. And I had to re-think the decor in the conservatory. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: More drivel on Books and Covers
by Pete Ramsdale 05 Jul '99

05 Jul '99

suck.com opined: Motherhood, infant, grown man, CD collection, maternal instincts, coddling, screwing, incessant whining, $75 an hour, professional music critic, sex, blah, blah, cluck, cluck, wibble, wibble, shite. Or something like that. Anyway, this was the kind of stuff that relatively hairless, "Hermann Goering" me was going on about in his last mail. OK, so before some bright spark has a go, I know this was a slightly piss-takey, vitriolic rant about music that the "author" doesn't like, but the sheer number of people who I have had the incredible misfortune to meet that really harbour this view is simply unbelievable. Two points: 1) So my CD collection contains quite a bit of B&S and other material glibly labelled as "twee". This doesn't automatically make me the stereotypical bobbed-hairdo-sporting, satchel-wearing, Sarah-listening fey popster. And no, I'm not saying that being the aforementioned stereotype (which still does exist, let me assure you) is a bad thing. On the contrary, my dear Watson. And as far as I can remember, I've never wet my bed (although I have, according to my parents, sleepwalked and pissed in the waste-paper basket once.) 2) As well as various twee-pop, my CD collection covers everything from Robbie Williams, through your bog-standard indie fayre, to Fugazi and even Faith No More. For me, picking one of these genres and trying to pigeon-hole me for it is similar to juging a book by about half-a-square-inch of cover. As far as I know, there are no two kinds of music that are mutually exclusive - just because you may like something at one end of the scale, doesn't mean liking the other end is prohibited. Okay, so I have my own form of myopia, but that is directed towards the music itself (Steps, anyone??), not the people who listen to it. I'm not particularly saying that this is OK, and I'm fully prepared to take a slagging for it, but we all have our folly, I guess. It's just that I (and a lot of other people I know) have encountered more than my fair share of people trying to mistakenly extrapolate my personality from what I listen to. Advice for the day: Be you, and never be embarrassed about it. lol p xx. -- -----------------------------*||*-------------------------------- "Reality never seems to work out quite the way you want it to..."

Sinister: looper in dc/ny [and maybe philly]
by lost madflowr 05 Jul '99

05 Jul '99

hello . is there anyone going to the dc looper show? today i had to explain why i really dig looper to a guy who dislikes them. it was really quite hard to explain.i guess it's because they make me feel like a child who's fresh to the world, which i guess i still am. i'm 20. i cough a lot if someone blows smoke in my direction and i silently curse at them for not being considerate of non-smokers. looper is just pure. they make me feel nice. like radiohead and b&s and hayden. sweet. like you'd want someone to write songs like that with you in mind. today at anne summers' 4th of july partay, i tried to put it into words..the looper love. mm. i dunno. i tried to convince that guy to go... cos he only has the first 7" and hasnt even heard up a tree yet. last night i lost the 3..6..9.. badge [i suppose i lost it at the galaxy hut show] that .j 0n had given me. at first i was like 'shite, i lost one of my badges.' but could not remember... then i saw my extra 3..6..9 badge [cos i'd bought the set but .j 0n was so nice when he gave it to me in nyc i didn't have the heart to tell him i already had the whole set,cos his eyes were so sweet]. oh...the point of this post is to ask if anyone from the dc area is driving up to the philly looper show 'cos i need a ride. if you're driving, please post me back [off sinister] asap. i'll chip in gas money and i'll be nice i swear! i'll do tolls and all sorts of stuff. i've never been to philly and i'd really like to go to this show. i'm going to nyc [i already have my ticket] and i posted on belleandsebastian.co.uk that we should have a picnic the day of looper in nyc. or that weekend after... cos it will be nice. not like today. people look at me like i'm some kind of freak cos i don't drink. and it does not help when the anne summers boys are trying to make me drink. today was alright though. we played on the moon bounce and sweated a lot. the sweat was no fun. i'm chatting with eran on im. oh...i started a tiny b&s list for the dc/va/ md/philly/local etc...area. it's going to be pretty quiet i can almost guarantee..but if you're in the area then you might want to join...go to listbot.com and find list sinisterdc. or i think you can try http://sinisterdc.listbot.com okay.sleepeetime. sleep to mr. scruff. i dunno if anyone wonders but sinisterite Xavier is quite dreamy. as are everyone i met at the dc picnic. another soon? christa, picnic #2 soon? evol, madflowr _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
