Sinister: Oh my!
by E. A. Hostetter 17 Aug '99

17 Aug '99

One day on the list with a voice and I get publicly (so to speak) flogged and flamed. Shame on you Jason. Guys: I think our friend took my comments a tad to personally. I like to think that he would have liked a little discretion. Sensitive are we? a little overloaded on old man honky beer? Perhaps a little hate-f**king is in order? Hmmm...think before you speak, I mean, hurl abuse. Oh, and thanks to all the wonderful folks who wrote to me...Joss, Diana, Christa, and the (sorry forgot name) gal from D.C. Later!

hello everyone-- hopefully this hasn't been mentioned already... i must admit, since i got back from vacation i haven't been reading the list much. anyways, our favourite band will be on cbc radio 2 next weekend on the late night radioescapade. i'm not sure which night, it's either saturday or sunday. anyways, they're having a guest host, and he's doing some sort of "musical feature" on the group. it's available in realaudio ( i think), so this post isn't directed solely to canadians.... check their website- www.radioescapade.com erika +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

to get this off my chest: E.A. just got her voice and said: "...other than that, well, I've tried emailing other T.O. sinisterites and have found people to be a lot younger, or non-responsive. Hmmm, cold place this is." BLAS_FUCKING_ME! We email near ev'ry day, and tonight I even *called you*, despite your slutty flings with L.A.-types(traitor!)(Read that bit in the diary AFTER I called, of course. Sheesh.) Rest assured Elizabeth, there's nothing like a good pre-mature slagging to start off a local friendship. *wink* Oh, and you don't have to go to L.A., just to get good sexxx, sily, it's right here at home. Ahem. Anyways.... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me get what I want: And let that be a place where people done bore me to hell with their poetry! Save that for your homepage and put a link in your daily message, but don't make me scroll right the hell over and past your post because of it!

The roomate wants to use HER phone...which I am poluting by using the modem blah blah blah...so this will be cut short.But it's probably a good thing, since I'm four 50's (beer) into it, and am starting to whine.

Sinister: Has to be a first time
by Robin Carmody 17 Aug '99

17 Aug '99

so, it's the first posting... Always dreaded the first time, like when I was a kid and started at a new school (the agony of the first day, the slow introductions to teachers and other kids who clearly couldn't have given a shit about me). What to say? I'm pissing around, staying up all night as ever. Wondering when someone will get me away from here, because I'm dying. Not working and not caring. Introverted, music-obsessed good-for-nothing? Sounds alright to me. B&S. Momus. High Llamas. Flaming Lips. Monochrome Set. The germ of my influences is becoming clearer. robin carmody... robin(a)elidor.freeserve.co.uk ---------------------------------------- "I spent the summer wasting, the sky was blue beyond compare" +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: safety
by andrew dean 16 Aug '99

16 Aug '99

safety isn't belle and sebastian, it's from the first snowpatrol ep (back when they were called polarbear), 'starfighter pilot'. yes, it's howling mad murdoch on vocals on that one track and richard colburn drums on the entire ep but that's about it. nice though. oh, and it's on electric honey records, the stow college label, ehrcd007 as it happens. it's not on the recent re-release btw (according to katrina). and, looking at my pantone colour charts i can tell you that the cover is actually 'ivory' and not whatever trousers said it was. so 'ner!' (actually, it's a picture of the backpack, helmet, gloves and gun from an action man space ranger outfit, the back is a picture of an action man in said outfit. can't tell if he has realistic gripping hands or eagle eyes though) andy first day at work today. went ok but it as kinda dull. got shown around by the boss who invited everybody down the pub at dinnertime for some kinda 'freaks'esque initiation ceremony but then he got stuck in a meeting so neither of us went. i'm sure that endeared me to my colleagues. didn't enjoy the 4 hours of commuting though (specifically the 30 minutes stood at The Bus Shelter That Time Forgot). still, i got a lot read. set the video to tape something off space television but forgot to change the channel over from cartoon network. arse. i realised about 15 minutes in but the damage is done. and, about 2 minutes ago, the tape ran out 10 minutes before the end of something else. i hate it when that happens... still, it means i don't have to waste 2 hours watching them. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Jeepstral
by Hugh G Friel 16 Aug '99

16 Aug '99

Oh Hello Chris Sleeka Sounds said "Amphetamenies are playing somewhere in Edinburgh on Friday"...they are playing at The Attic, a v. small + intimate venue above Legends in the Cowgate, tickets £3/£4. I know this because I saw a poster @ the Snowpatrol gig there on Friday night. If anyone's interested, the band were good...but people were crowdsurfing - no, seriously - and it was all a bit embarrasing. Some young lady had decided to rest her handbag in the P.A., which was a nice touch.

Sinister: For he can spraggle upon waggle at the word of command
by robhalcrow＠lineone.net 16 Aug '99

16 Aug '99

Good evening or good morning (in a Robert Wyatt voice, please), Were you at Tigermilking on Friday? It was a winner and no mistake. That was my bunch of chancers playing from 9.30- 10. If you clapped then thank you. If you were going to hurl anything (a glass/ abuse) and thought better of it- thank you as well. We tried our best. I want to say a big public thanks to Mark and Sam for putting it/us on. And hello to anyone else I spoke to (Martin Ear Confection). Next one I'm staying till the end. However if I hadn't left early then I wouldn't have seen those people having it away in the car outside my brother's house. Honestly. I didn't know where to look. I was quite bewildered/flabbergasted/flummoxed/perturbed/curious...... How cool to have The Windhover By the late great Gerard Manley Hopkins on the list. What other poet conveys so much energy and excitement in their work? And to think no-one gave a monkeys when he was alive. On a similar note Kimberley Rehak's kitten book reminded me of 'My Cat Jeoffry' By Chrisopher Smart. I love that poem. And you will too if you give a go. You'll laugh, you'll cry. Glasgow- I was in Glasgow a few weeks back and I had a brilliant time. No-one threatened to glass me....in fact everyone was incredibly welcoming and friendly. (Any Rangers fans on the list can you please make sure Dick Advocaaaaaaaaat doesn't buy Allan Magic Johnston as The Mackems still need him? Thanks.) And finally...I played 'The Gate' the other day for the first time in months.....It's good, no really. I'm not an Isobel groupie (more of a Lauren Laverne man) but that's a lovely song. Well, that's all from me.

Sinister: A Belle and Sebastian Tale
by Robert Foster 16 Aug '99

16 Aug '99

I went to town today. I was going to go in the morning but it was raining, so I had to wait until it eased off. The rain began to go away by three in the afternoon but because it was drizzling I thought I'd better phone for a taxi. We have an account with one of the local taxi firms. This made me happy because I wouldn't have to pay the driver, instead he'd 'put it on account'. My dad would have to pay. I'm not supposed to order taxi's on account without asking. I haven't told him yet, I'll wait 'till after tea. I asked to be dropped off just outside of the bank. I had some business to attend to. Well, that's exaggerating a bit, I had to put some money into my account to pay for my college course that starts in September. After I had finished paying in my money I decided to go to the new music shop that had opened in the high street. It was up the top and I and the bank were down the bottom. I didn't mind walking because I had a full forty five minutes to wait until my bus. So I walked out of the bank and felt like a king. Automatic doors always give me a false feelings of grander. I feel like I am someone important. Sometimes I make believe that I'm in a film and I'll be someone important. A General in some space film or a baddie who swaggers around saying class things right on cue. All the boy's hate me and all the girl's swoon, but they'll pretend to be afraid. The record shop was on the other side of the road so I had to cross. Just as I got to the other side I saw my friend Laura. She was with her college friends and I think her boyfriend was there too. I didn't talk to her because she looked busy. She was talking to all of her five friends at once and they were walking around her like satellites around a planet. I just slowed down and let them pass. I don't think she even noticed me. That made me sad. Laura and me used to be good friends. She'd come round my house and sit on my bed and we'd listen to music and she'd talk about her lovers and I'd talk about the book I was reading. She told me all about life and stuff. I think she was a rebel. It took a while to get to the record shop because my leg was hurting, I think I must have pulled a muscle the day before. But I didn't mind, collecting records was my hobby. At home I'd sit in front of my radio with a pencil and paper and jot down band names and song names of songs I liked. John Peel is the best for that. He always gives out all sorts of information. Sometimes he'll even say the name of the record company that the band were on. Once he described the front cover of a 7" just so that you could find it quicker in the shops. I like John Peel for that. Inside the Record Shop had a funny smell. New cars have their own smell so I suppose new shops have their own smell too. I had heard roomers that it was an indie shop and indeed it was. There were many CD's that I wanted but I only had thirty pounds. So I looked around for my favourite bands. Sadly I forgot my piece of paper with all the band names and record company names on it. I'd left it in my bedroom next to the radio. No skipping home to get it, my leg was hurting and it was getting late in the afternoon. Whilst thinking about how tragic this was I forgot my self and ended up in a strange part of the shop. I didn't remember how I got there and saw no singes directing me to 'pay here' or the 'exit'. I was lost. I couldn't stay there, I was getting hungry and with no obvious escape it looked as if my dinner would be some Strawberry Bubblegum that I kept in my coat pocket for emergency's, and this was surely an emergency. As my fingers found the pocket something caught my eye. I tried to find it but my eyes just saw hundreds of records that looked the same. They all had similar covers and designs, it was hard to distinguish one band from another. My attention returned to my rations in my pocket. I took out the packet and un wrapped one end. I took out one of the sweets and popped it in my mouth. As soon as I did something again caught my eye. This time I was ready. I saw where the distraction was coming from. It was from one of the CD's in the stack. I walked over and it started moving around on the shelve. It was dancing around so much that it knocked a couple of CD's off of the shelf and onto the floor. I took a step back thinking it was a giant rat that was looking for something to eat. Fearing that it might fight me for my bubblegum I took another step back. I was unwilling to have a fight, my leg was still hurting and I needed that bubblegum to see me through 'till I found my way out. The CD was still moving, I braced myself for the little rascal to poke it's head out and lunge at me and my bubblegum. The CD was really moving, and making quite a noise. I was sure that even in this isolated part of the shop the manager must have head it. Then, all of a sudden the CD shot out of the stack and landed at my feet. I bent down and picked it up. On the front there was a photograph of a young woman breast feeding her baby. She had dressed her cub as a tiger. I read the words "Belle and Sebastian" and underneath "Tigermilk". I looked up and noticed on the ceiling a sign in the shape of an arrow. Written on the sign were the words 'pay here'. I followed it's advice and walked out of the shop. I only had a few minuets to go before my bus. There was nothing for it, I'd have to run, and run I did. I flew past Burger King thinking nothing of the people sweeping up the floor, I flew past the musical instrument shop forgetting to worship the guitars through the window, I flew past the old women's shop nearly knocking the one with the purple hair over, I ran up the steps next to the church, turning left into Avondale Road, and there I was. Just in time. The bus was making it's way over the hill towards me. Catching my breath I remembered my leg, I remembered how much it hurt as I was in the taxi, how I cursed it under my breath in the cue for the cashier in the bank, how I limped into the record shop. And now, it did not hurt at all. I felt fine. Inside my belly felt warm. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
