Sinister: Standing on the shoulders of giants leaves me cold (but I do it anyway. Wanna make something of it?)
by Alasdair Cook MS1996 23 Aug '99

Fountainhead put REM lyrics in the subject box. Well done Fountainhead. The now officially clever Starry mentioned chocolate bars. Did anyone else notice when Cadburys shrunk Picnics? They were sneaky about it, you see, because the wrapper is still the same size but they've made it thinner. Bastards. My brother tells me that Curly Wurlys have also shrunk, they used to be about the size of your arm but now apparently they're about the same size as a Walls choc ice, which have also shrunk. And Aeros, are they good business? I mean obviously they use less chocolate but do they spend more on buying and maintaining machines to make the holes/bubbles? Answers on a postcard to Alasdair is mental and I wish he would fuck off Glasgow The postman will know where to deliver it. I can't think of anything to say. Oh, I've just thought of something. Theresa said: > I have had > funds from mum and dad and bought a new stereo spanking system. I was just wondering how that works, is all. It sounds mighty entertaining. Actually she may have said something else, but I am selectively dyslexic. So, Queer as folk eh? I suppose folk is quite queer, isn't it? I've been called a queer for listening to folk/pop type stuff. And a poof. And I've been called Tony Hadley and gay eighties boy for listening to the Smiths and Orange Juice. I am really crap today (more so than usual) and my brain doesn't work and I can't think of anything else to write so I'll just write about not being able to think of anything to write, which technically means that I am talking bollocks but really it depends upon your perpective or how you look at it philosophically, I mean I could write for ever about not having anything to write but would that constitute me actually writing anything? Well of course it would but you know what I mean. Don't you? Whether you choose to celebrate the Sinister birthday by going to the pub, having a good hard shag or going to the pub to have a good hard shag, enjoy yourselves. However stop drinking before you fall over and stop shagging before you pull a muscle. Have to go and meet someone and do something, er, don't know what yet. Not very entertaining as usual, but there you go. And so do I...

Sinister: AILSA DRIVE.

Reading that sent a little bell > off in my head, it's > probably nothing to do with anything B&S, but you > never know. yeah, I think that the films name is the title of one of the songs on the next b&s album, or ep. I remember reading it somewhere. It's monday now, so that bit of info was pretty useless. I walked to school this morning. It felt like springtime for some reason. Anyway, I was walking up milbrae road (sinisterees in the southside of glasgow might know it. It's a hugebig hill in the langside area) and I noticed a really great street sign. It said AILSA DRIVE. I didn't know that ailsa had a street named after her. Oh well, it just goes to show the power of honey. I want to do some good, leave the world a better place. Tell me how to do this, someone, as the option of being somebody's loved one and through that making their life a joy to live seems a rather unrealistic one. So, people say that families love you, but they really have to don't they, wheras if someone else were to care for you it would at least reassure you that you are someone special, and that you do have good points. I've considered my life a lot over the holidays, and have come to realise that I, just like most people, am not special. I've thought about becoming a doctor, and helping those who really need help. I phoned up the red cross the other day to see if I could go to turkey and help. They didn't let me. They said that I was too young. besides, to be a doctor it seems that you have to look like goerge clooney. some one in my biology class said that on friday. sorry for bring down the general tone of the neighbour hood babychris _____________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Hello my lovely petals I am in a good mood today as it is my birthday! Hurrah. I have had funds from mum and dad and bought a spanking new stereo system and intend to play "Dirty Dream NUmber Two" very loudly tonight as i get ready for a big night out. I have rather sensibly taken tomorrow off work but will need to spend the time packing as i am moving on Saturday (only down the road mind). Once I am settled i shall start trying to arrange an autumnal soiree in Southwest London I hope you are all well and happy. Lots of love Theresa xox _____________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Sinister: pretty good stuff here
by jarkko frantila 23 Aug '99

23 Aug '99

Hello there. Can I still be on the list even if I'm in a jolly jolly jolly good mood? Or do I have to cry myself to sleep like I used to? Hah. "But why is he so happy?" I hear you ask. Well, I got this freelancer job for this "indie"musicmagazine called SUE. I do reviews and interviews for them, and get this: The editor of it mailed me and gave me my first task: "Boy, I want you to review that latest album from Hefner. And you shall also interview them. Phone them up, you know." Shockshockhorrorhorror. So in a few weeks time I will be talking to a band that seems to have invaded my Sony walkman. Plus more, I get 5-10 cd's every two months that I have to review. Happy. (Sorry, had to go away for a while. Canon photocopier: up yours, you never work) "But what is he wearing?" Glad you asked. I made myself a Little Prince t-shirt on friday. So now I have a lonely little boy standing on his planet in the front of my white t-shirt. Cutey? Very much so. Correction: I didn't make this, that nice man in the shop did this for me. And theres a little story: I was in this club on saturday and saw this friend of mine with whom we always have these nice little "screw you"- conversations, all in a good way, it's a laugh (it really is). Well, I went to her and showed my t-shirt to her. She: "Aw fuck." Me: "You don't like Little Prince?" She: "Little Prince is cool. But people who wear little prince t-shirts are complete losers/idiots." Ouch. That hurt. But she's Rock so she thinks it's wimpy. And it is. Log off now, Jerky Jarkko, you've got work to do. @--->--- Jarkko F. ps: Is the new album from Astrid any good? Should I tell that editor that I want it for free for a review? Ah yes, it's nice to be in... showbusiness. ______________________________________________________ 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".

None

I don't hate foxes i don't hate any one, except maybe mark e smith, from the fall, who was rude to me this evening. He pushed past me to get to the bar followed by some tart who said, " mr smith is in a bad mood", and about ten minutes later he laened on me and didnt even ask if it was ok or apologise or anything. never liked the fall much anyway foxes are nice, i'm not nasty really, but holding down the shift keuy is such a hassle. colin +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: sinister: there has to be an upside
by Linky 22 Aug '99

22 Aug '99

hi list, this is my first post so far, as i've just come out of the nursery. i've enjoyed reading everyone else's posts so much that i almost forgot that i too could finally post, but i've had such a good day listening to belle and sebastian while walking along the beach (it's so crowded though, as it's sunday today) that i'm inspired to write something, even if it just be to say how much i've been enjoying this list (and belle and sebastian for that matter). i think you're all very charming and i send you warm greetings from vancouver, b.c. , where i have lived pretty much all of my 22 years. i love it here but i've got that pesky travel bug nipping at me and hope to be off to europe next spring when my school year is over. i've known about b&s for about six months -- they were introduced to me by this guy who would always play tbwtas in the studios at (art) school. i wonder where he heard of them? hmmm... i never thought to ask. anyhow, i was hooked; i totally surrendered. now i own tigermilking and iyfs as well as tbwtas and they rarely leave my cd player. excuse me for stating the obvious! i'm afraid this post is terribly boring and pedestrian -- i promise to do better next time but i wanted to get the basics out of the way. i don't know a soul here who knows about belle and sebastian. it's rather fun in a way -- like knowing a big secret!! by the way, keep up the movie and music suggestions -- very informative indeed! love Lindsay, a very happy little girl, as the sun is shining and there's this new boy i "love"... +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Queer as folk
by SSharp5210＠aol.com 22 Aug '99

Aloha tarts de pop (and Mr McQuain in particular) >What on earth is Queer as Folk? It is indeed a t.v show,much beloved by the kids and much behated by the t.v critics who forced Becks Bier to cease sponsoring the broadcast.Alternative lifestyles dontcha know.Gay soap-opera/cutting edge social drama kinda thing. The title comes from a uk saying "There's nowt as queer as folk".Either that or it's a corruption of Queer as fuck.Take your pick.

Sinister: good advices <when you meet a stranger, keep your money in your shoes>
by fountainhead 22 Aug '99

22 Aug '99

smoking (my only vice) and listening to the tindersticks (one of my few pleasures) go remarkably well together, don't you think? hello everyone. i've not been very sinister at all recently. i have a boatload of horrible exams in less than a month. it's tragic to think that i have many horrid days of feeling like i should be working between now and my annual soujourn to the wide irish west. i do envy anyone here who has just done a-levels and is looking forward to the wonderful world of higher education. i'd give so much to be there again *sigh*. please enjoy every last moment of it. <request for advices 1> have people here ever 'met' other people through email and stuff that they have thought that, just maybe, could be something special? only it's happened to me quite recently and things went from wonderful to less-than-wonderful all to quickly. now it's going to happen again in the not-to-distant future and, after not handling things all that well last time, i'd really like to know how one goes about dealing with such things. (they are different people, by the way) <request for advices 2> the band that i am in are going, some time, to release a new record. it's going to be a double 7" on two different labels (short-fuse and fortuna pop, if you're at all interested). the original plan was to release each record independently (although on the same day) with some kind of token whereby someone who bought both would be able to get a nice shiny gatefold sleeve to put them in. now it's being suggested that we just release them as one happy package. how would the great british indie-buying public react to either scheme - both of which, albeit unintentionally, appear to be verging on being gimmics? <fin> f. -- fountainhead(a)earthling.net busy - http://fly.to/balls doing - http://listen.to/chemex nothing - http://fly.to/fountain -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: As queer as salisbury steak
by JLGodard＠webtv.net 22 Aug '99

22 Aug '99

Hi list- What on earth is Queer as Folk? In context it sounds as if it's a night-time television soap opera featuring characters who may in fact be riding the choo-choo train of love to Bumford or whatever the parlance is these days.. As detailed information as possible, please, about the origin, contents, and cultural impact of this television program (if that is, indeed, what it is), as well as a full explanation of the title. Tanx! -2 or 3 things I know about Chris Section 5: Word Use Pupil uses three given words in one sentence. Example: Disco/Hope/Apocalypse: "When the apocalypse comes, I hope I'm at the disco." 1. Merchant/Bread/Buy 2. Wake/Up/Bitch 3. Slap/Slap/Slap 4.
