Sinister: lower than low

At my job as a "barista" at an espresso joint, I too am faced daily with girls who are regulars, who I nickname simply "Mystery girl 1, 2, and 3...." Actually, mystery girl number 3 has never been in my shop, i just saw her once looking at pokemon things at a japanese shop in harvard square whilst a friend and I were getting a photo-sticker made. On the sticker, you can see by my expression that I have just laid eyes on a girl worthy of being a "mystery girl". Quite funny. At any rate... let me get to the point here... the "magic" and fun and excitement of crushes can only end. Once you get to know the person this overwhelming loving feeling disolves into either a comfortable relationship or nothing at all. and comfortable relationships can be so dull and unsatisfying. I hate being comfortable... the magic will fade and everything will become stagnant. The new face becomes an old hat and you can either move on or make the best of it. Im not one for relationships... i'd rather just have lots of crushes. and not share record collections or money. <3love gibby.

Sinister: higher than high

i don't do drugs, ok? i don't i swear i swear. well a few weeks ago i believe i mentioned something about how funny it'd be if my entire silly crush on a restaurant hostess would come flying back into my face in the shape of becoming infatuated with a customer, who eats my sandwhiches. well it happened today, and i'd rather not discuss what she looked like, or how she moved, nope, none of that sad, romantic, drivel. haven't i expressed my experiences with that specific feeling enough? well i suppose i shall tell a little, for those inquiring minds. she had glasses! perhaps i should reveal to the list, i of course wear glasses, but they're quite thin, slim, and diabolical. much like me. well girls with glasses kill me, they obliterate me into a thousand pieces--and she had glasses just like mine, silver, rimmed, oh so touching! and a dress red like summer.....hm. wellllllllllllllllllll that whole part where one can't breathe, and my duties as a deli employee flew out the window. i begun to sputter out strange phrases that sounded like accented swahili streetspeak. oh the horrors. i think i'm really really too romantic. how come nobody wants to share such feelings? is it the glasses? love blake xx the nerdy shy eyed pacifist b&s content--isobel makes me all bubbly too, though i wish she had some top spectacles. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- "Fuck!" - Jarvis Cocker +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Buenos nachos amigos
by JJ 04 Jul '99

04 Jul '99

Hello. I had a great weekend, how about anyone else? I went to Glasgow to generally fanny about. We saw some popgroups in the 13th Note on Friday night, they were awful, basically it sounded like they'd heard a Mogwai album and thought "we can do that". Except they couldn't. And later on I dirty danced with Angela in the other 13th Note whilst Sandy bought us fine Czech beer and something suspicious called Aftershock. Later, that same night, I was sick. If you are passing Fopp records, go and buy the XTC Fossil Fuels double CD singles comp, they're selling it for 7 quid. It's TOP. We went to see the Mummy. It was very bad. Sandy made it funny by laughing terribly in all the wrong places. He's quite amusing for an old git. You wouldn't like him though, he's full of scorn for young people. A fine place to eat in Glasgow : Toast, in the merchant city, it does this all day breakfast thing where it's served like a big sandwich like they used to do on Scooby Doo, you know, layers and layers of toast with things in between. SORTED! Can anyone tell me about the Pernice Brothers?

Sinister: Loads More Bollox, Crap, Arse, etc.
by David Moore 04 Jul '99

04 Jul '99

Hi Sinistaurs, WARNING: Long, ramshackle, going back 2 weeks post, lacking the sparkling topicality of the newsgroup. Michele wrote: Lest anyone think there is no B&S connection to T. Rex... our little batch of B&S admirerers in this area might never have been captured by them had someone in our local cd store not been a T. Rex fan in his youth. When IYFS came into the store, he noted the label name and said, "Ah ha! What is this Jeepster thing? Could they be like T. Rex? Will I be carried back to the days of my platform knee-high boots?" Instead of a trip down some Memory Lane of big-hair and mascara, he was awestruck dumb by our mellow popsters -- and accosted everyone who came through the shop door, forcing them to stand at the counter and have a listen. Exremely hard to believe, but I too had a glam interlude between the hippy & 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. We both had the same shoulder length hair (hers blonde) & went out as The Glammer Twins (like the Glimmer Twins, geddit?) Lesley J asked: GRRRRR what does a Welsh accent sound like?? what kind of accent did that girl have on AbFab who played the dippy blonde chick? i loved her accent. i forget her name rt now. sorry / i'm interested by different accents. Starry Droolz recommended listening to John Cale: - for the best Welsh accent sample listen to him narrating The Velvet Underground's "The Gift". Sarah also said that The Word was poo & that repeating it was pooer. Despite this they did have some good performances: The Lemonheads' "Mrs Robinson" was great, but I suppose they'll only show L7 beavering away at "Lets Pretend That We're Dead" (or whatever it was called).* Mystery guest Tim "It Gouda Been A Brie-lliant Carré" P!O!Pkins wrote: I haven't the first foggiest idea what reggae is about. Except 'I Shot The Sheriff' by Eric Clapton. So he needs to be told that Chris Blackwell is the Saviour of reggae & is single-handedly responsible for preserving its purity over the last 3 decades. Oon was excited at seeing Star Wars, which I haven't yet, but I did get some new Star Wars Lego for Fathers Day, complete with a little cloaked bloke clutching a light sabre. She then suggested that Chris send a whole piss-drenched house to Trousers: that should solve the Post Office's deficit~ & continued by saying that she always dreamed about Struan in conjunction with bowls of noodles. She finished with a humpkin patch tale.........is it then any wonder that pervs will think her dream is about sex? Missed seeing that hoary old poodle rocker Daltrey's appearance in The Bill the other evening, 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. Antje made me sad coz here & in the newsgroup she felt ignored. I suppose this is going to happen with 1,000+ people sounding off to each other. I don't think one person can take it all in, let alone respond to every idea or question floated. So I don't think its anything personal, Antje. Tschuss, gluckliche Ferien, & hoffentlich sehen wir Dich hier noch einmal. Reading Sinister posts is now like watching TV for me, & after a while you get to learn what kind of programmes people make. Being a simple soul, I watch the news, (I guess thats you, Katrina) & the comedies/cartOons (I guess thats, er, all those of you that are funny). I tend to skip documentaries, Question Time & the soaps. Recently Katrina sounded down: everybody send her a post to brighten her day at the office & thank her for her hard work keeping us up to speed with all things B&S & with what's happening at Jeepster Towers.# 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. Perhaps more worrying is her tendency to dress up as a schoolgirl for performances, and to lug over-sized cuddly toys about in the videos (makes her look smaller/younger), given that sensitive teens/twenties are going to fantasise & form crushes on her. Rob Halcrow keeps posting about Hot Tuna, & he'll probably be back, Same Time, Sammy Piazza, Same Channel. Unashamed begging: would anyone like to send me a tape with Lord Anthony on it, as I've never heard it? Its OK, really - I have ordered TWO proper copies of Tigermilk this week, even if they don't have any of those great extra tracks on them. Phew! What a monster post. And, as I'm prehistoric, maybe its all true! (# We already have sign for irony, so I thought that anyone who generally takes the piss should have one for when they actually mean what they say.)

Sinister: Digestive Tract Blocked
by David Moore 03 Jul '99

03 Jul '99

Hi, Congratulations to Carsmile Steve on the amazing sharpness of his eyesight: I had completely missed my 15 nanoseconds of fame as an MTV megastar until Sally pointed it out to me. The Struan-striping bit in the LLPJ vid IS great, as is also the cheeky smile as Stuart bounces up and down in his seat singing TOTTYBUS at the Bowlie. We must have more! How about it Katrina, please persuade the powers that be to release the whole gig on video. Would some kind digest receiver please forward me #222, as compuserve stopped halfway through it.

Sinister: i yai-yai-yai-yai love lee remick
by Thomas Murphy 03 Jul '99

03 Jul '99

dear hearts- this being my second post, i hope i don't fall into the proverbial "sophomore slump". i made a new san antonio convert to b&s, very nice guy by the name of eric. the thing is, he's a republican, and the best comparison he could make to their music was... don't laugh, don't get angry... THE CARPENTERS!!! i shall guide this fellow, fear not. sean of houston is now outta the navy, yee haa! at his going away party at the local open-mike night he valiantly attempted to sing "judy and the dream of horses" after many, many pints of cider. i'm not going to say i could've done better, as my stage fright is positively debilitating. it's not like anyone else in the bar knew the song anyway. we chose "judy" because my one guitar savvy friend felt that it was the only one he could do. "i don't know minor chords", "fuck that b to f progression"... oh well, maybe he isn't so guitar savvy. maybe i should take it up instead. at any rate we shall both be up to see looper at the middle east in cambridge (usa) and hope to see some of you folk up there. ta ta! thom i want the world to stop and stare whenever it sees me, but most of all i want to be in david hockney's diary. - david hockney's diary television personalities _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

Sinister: Hip to the Trip
by Sarah 03 Jul '99

03 Jul '99

Dear you lot, Speaking of being Hip to the Trip, I can't go to any Northern Tigermilking night. I'm previously engaged to go to Strettles and dance to the New Radicals for my friends 18th birthday. Woohoo! That Pete Miller, the crazy young bubble-permed scamp used this: "The Indestructible Township Jive of Preston" as his subject line. This seemed as good a reason as any for me to give you the latest updates on the music capital of the Uk's adventures. The hot news rockin' the North West is that Preston will apparently soon become a city! Which means Preston will have the same status as The City Of London Town! Isn't that good! I've been saying for ages that Preston could whup Londons arse anyway - now the two teams are in the same league, Preston will have a chance to demonstrate its majestic force. Watch out London! Prestons moved up from the Beazer Home Gardens League to Londons Trendy Met Bar GM Conference league. Ha. VINDICATION! Not really. Even Lancaster is a city these days. Heres a teaser. Rumour has is that my teeny village of Warton, and the next door teeny village of Freckleton (which boasts a "Bargin Booze" outlet) are going to merge, to constitute a new "town". Apart from being quite frankly a big load of bollocks, I've had much amusement from wondering if the new "town" will be called "Warkleton". I went to another beauty spot of the North-West this week as well. Yesterday I was driven at BREAKNECK SPEED in a car that had no brakes (the road drops off going round a corner. Driver squeals round the corner at 60mph, nearly avoiding death, and then cheerfully announces "haha, looks like the brakes are gone!".... I proceed to lose all sanity from then onwards.) to the inbred village of Newton. Its up a steep hill and down a steep hill. You pass a huge great big transmitter-ariel thing. I cant' tell you where exactly it is because I only opened my eyes about three times throughout that journey. Anyway! The purpose of this visit was to see my friend Ben wear a glittery dress and a blonde wig in a Youth Club play. How provincial! I think thats the most 'small-village-girl' I've ever got in my LIFE. I then realised the aching cultural and social chasms between me and the inhabitants of po caffs etc. Jasper Buckaroo, whilst jetting back to London from Paris, on mobile phone to Toby Titwank: Jasper Buckaroo: "Shall one see a Popular Band at the Po Caff, Covent Garden, upon this night?" Toby Titwank: "Yes haw haw, what a splendiferous idea! Shall I bring a bottle of bolly and send round the chauffer?" Jasper Buckaroo: "Sorted!" Whereas I go to Plungington on the number 22 bus. Sarah : "We're going to Newton to watch Ben wear a dress." Sarahs friend: "Yes." Sarah: "Your dad will drive us over steep hills at 60mph and then discover the car has no brakes." Sarahs friend: "Correct once more." Sarah: "You'd better have your camera." Sarahs friend: "I do." Sarah and Sarahs friend in unison: "oh dear...." Sarahs head explodes and she makes no more sense for the rest of the night. That last comment also apllies to Lesley-Jo's art school girl situation. Just say, "look right, I'm fed up with you holding out on me, are we going to snog or what", and lunge for it. You could get drunk beforehand. Hey, I'm only a girl on a mail list, I'm not an advice column. Or!! just kidnap Isobel and whisk her away to your house! At least it means she'd be further away from me. Thank the lord. "The Buxoms"? Do I want to know anything more? Does it invole "Womb Power"? Oh get thee to a Helen Reddy record. I have the best of Helen Reddy. I can't listen to it without feeling I should have underarm hair and my legs crossed. bye then, Sarah xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
