Sinister: its raining, its pouring...
by * * 14 Aug '99

14 Aug '99

Good Morning Everyone!!!! its 3:38 and pouring outside. thunder and lightening, oh my!! my dogs are totally freaking out, and for some reason, i think they want to go dance in the rain. but i refuse to take them. i dont like getting soaking wet this early in the mornin. so, at about 2:45... i was totally bored out of my mind.. and, i went out into the other room to watch tv.. and, i put on channel 2 (CBS).. and do you know what was on?!?!?!?!? MATCH GAME!!!!! a new one!! of course, i didnt recognize any of the celebrities... and, sadly.. i missed Richard and Brett. There were only 5 celebrities instead of 6... i think, that i will just be sticking with my repeats of Match Game 7(enter number here) that are on the game show network. did you know Pat Sajak is taking over the world? he is. with the monster that lives in the dryers that steals your socks. you see.. that is why: 1) Wheel Of Fortune is still popular and on the air 2) Socks dissapear, and come back again after many many months There are subliminal messages in Wheel Of Fortune that make you listen to Pats every words. Then, when the monster in the dryer steals your socks, he puts a chemical in the socks, that go into your blood stream.. and make it impossible to not listen to Pat.... so.. after i watched Match Game... i put on Leno.. even tho i hate him... and, there was that chick from the Blair Witch Project. So.. while, i will not elaborate on it.. cos, that thread is so over with.. but, i thought i would mention she was there... i had my modern rock song EP playing out of my computer all afternoon.. because, it wont play in my regular cd player, so i dont listen to it much... and then the power went out, and turned off my computer (and the lights, and the tv, and the clocks.. and every thing else.. ).. and i was terribly afraid that it would get ruined. it was kinda confusing tho... i had it on random without knowing it.. so i thought i was going crazy... and.. 1 reply Laura Llew (who is alive and im glad, even if i never knew her) said.. "I don't know if it is the subject matter of 2 people not knowing each others corresponding through letters or if its Stuart's accent but I am in love with that song. " ya know... the dj on the radio station i listen to said this was about how Stuart and Karn met... is that true? Am i going to get beaten for not doing my homework now? okees.. i do belive i will be going now.. love and kisses Jes _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

Sinister: Teen Dream Drama Queen
by Etheriel99＠aol.com 14 Aug '99

14 Aug '99

Hullos! Now, I've been compelled to write for no good reason. And I feel I've got nothing to lose by doing so. It's strange. As it turns out, I've always been a bit afraid of what Friday the 13th might bring. Still, I've not recieved one omen of bad luck. That is until today. Ever since I was a little girl, I used to wait for something bad to happen. Friday the 13th's would come and go, and still, nothing. Only today did I get what I've been missing ten fold. The day started out alright. I woke up fairly early feeling not too tired. Since I've been out of school, I've incidentally lost track of time, dates, weekdays; it's quite disgusting. Anyhow, I decided to enrol myself in University courses today. Of course, today being the last day possible to enrol -- well, not exactly, but kind of. So, I figured, I'll secure my place in my course of choice -- the prerequisite for all the other wonderful and interesting film courses for following years. A must have. I enrolled by phone. This is what I eventually heard: "Sorry, this course is full or enrollment in this course is restricted...blah blah blah". After a brief period of disbelief and ten other tries, it struck me. I was too late. Course full, no prerequisite. Major down the drain, future plans down the drain. All due to procrastination and fear. But is it really that bad to procrasinate and have to pay the horrid consequences for it? Is it really fair to make someone feel so bad and leave themselves only to blame? I don't think so. Maybe I'm wrong. But of course being Friday the 13th, I had no luck at all. Work was bad too. Then I had plans crushed by someone else. My heart was broken twice today. My best year was 1998. If I ever feel compelled enough, i'll start writing songs about 1998. I also feel compelled to mention something about B&S...to meet the apparent quota. I'm still utterly devoted to them and listen to them exclusively. Each album gets a fair play. Ep's used to be #1, but have been overplayed, and are now getting a break.Once I become a big fan of a certain band, it's all I listen to until I get tired of it. But my obsessions, which is kind of harsh word, last fairly long. The last band I got this way about lasted me an entire year. I figure B&S will manage to last me a year and a half before I get sick of them, seeing as a new album is due and the extentions of the B&S family usually tide me over inbetween ( i.e. Looper, and the Gentlewaves.) I don't want to get sick of them though. Maybe I should take a brake, but listen to some bands from the same vein as B&S. Any suggestions, besides Nick Drake. Well I suppose that's enough for now. Take Care everyone. Cheers and Cherries, Cindy +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

by Nick Eeepooh! 14 Aug '99

(demo,radio session etc.) i have it on this tape and i love it so much. and #2) i've been watering at the mouth for about a month now, if anybody has looper's y2k song in any shape or form (hopefully on tape) could they please email me. that would be very very nice! cuz i'd reely like a copy.

Hi sinister beans Re: Lisa's post. I completely agree with you about Mr Cruise's member, best keep it locked up. However, some of those masked guys could have easily flashed their bits around and no-one would have known who they were, it would have been cooler than seeing all of those naked women. Re: the Glasgow posts. I was up there earlier this year and I loved every minute of it. I stayed at the Kelvingrove YHA (which I recommend strongly, the best hostel I stayed in the whole time I was in the U.K.) and would walk back there late at night after some serious drinking with other backpackers. Not once did I see anyone getting glassed.I found Glaswegians to be friendly and outgoing, not at all violent. Oh and (here comes the B+S content) I saw Staurt M emptying his rubbish and I was just about to say something to him but then he gave me the most evil of evil death stares. Consequently, I ran away and felt like a complete idiot. Oops, maybe that goes against what I said about Glaswegians not being violent....who knows?

Sinister: I'm off to see the wizard the wonderful wizard of Oz....
by Laura Llew 13 Aug '99

13 Aug '99

Never fear..... Being the only listee residing in Utah, I thought that I would post to let you all know that lil' laura llew is safe and sound - even though a tornado hit in Salt Lake on Wednesday (which I know that y'all being the informed and up to date on world - an po-dunk Utah affairs were all aware of) . I know that you've all been consumed with worry about my safety - fretting, biting your nails, sitting on the edges of your seats, gnashing your teeth.. or was that just my last date? Anyway, now you can all rest easy that all is well in Laura Land. On Saturday, I am leaving to go back home to North Carolina and everyone knows that tornadoes are practically non-existent in the southern part of the US. Ahaha. It was unnerving not to hear anything about the demise of some trailers during the coverage of a tornado. Which reminds me of the old joke: What is the difference between a tornado and a redneck divorce? I dunno but somewhere someone is losing a trailer. Gestapo in the form of 'Stay on the Subject Tyrant (lest you be mistaken, this IS a term of endearment.) Reid Dossinger said: "Just because I left NC doesn't mean I'm going to let you people start bad-mouthing it again. I'll let Laura Llew fly the 'Proud to be a Carolinian' banner. She does a damn fine job of it." It does my heart good to know that I am trusted with such a sacred duty. Of course, I will be able to do this better once I am back where I belong next week. Yes, on Saturday I will start my road trip (yay!) across the United States to my final destination of home sweet home, North Carolina. We are taking a detour up north though and going to the Dakotas. Its always been my thought that North Dakota doesn't exist and is just a conspiracy by the government. Far fetched idea I know, but have you ever met anyone from there? Thats what I thought. I finished my last class of my college career on Monday. I'm done. done done done done done done done done done done done done done done done done done done done done done done done done done done done FINISHED! Oh the bliss. Not that I'm a proud owner of that coveted diploma yet. I still have a dreaded internship. *sigh* Not only do I resemble Monica Lewinsky and have worked for a group home named Whitewater, I am now going to be an intern. I want to hear no snide remarks about presidential knee pad from any of you. For Belle and Sebastain content *writhing and twitching in pain from the mere thought of talking about Belle and Sebastian on a mailing list for the very reason of talking about them* Ok, I can't bear the torture its just too much. I tried. Really I even got the first few words typed out. hehe. Actually, I'll talk about Looper. I absolutely adore song two (if I ever have a band I'm going to name all of the songs Song 1 Song 2 Song 3.. Of course the temptation to put Song 6 as the fifth song on the cd might be too great), "Impossible Things." I don't know if it is the subject matter of 2 people not knowing each others corresponding through letters or if its Stuart's accent but I am in love with that song. Does anyone else have similar feelings? Everyone I know who listens to Looper (ok ok so thats just 1 other person) loves Burning Flies but doesn't give a hoot about Impossible Things. Its a shame I tell you a shame. I just want to say that I am chartreuse with envy of anyone who has friends/acquaintances/people they have seen with upside down badges/people they've met on the street or anyone else who also likes B&S and other awesome bands of the same caliber. It is definitely an 'impossible thing' to find here - and I have tried. Plus, it would be nice to have someone's cds to borrow occasionally. I am too broke to buy Tigermilk and it has saddened me so. I think that we should start a program to adopt poor struggling youngns like myself and help them on the right path by donating money to buy them cds. For the costs of filling your car up with gas, you can sponsor a girl so that she might have decent music to listen to. Poor impoverished Laura is stuck in a dank dim world filled with drab radio stations that only play backstreet boys and brittany spears. Add light and enlightenment to her life by helping her so that her life might become a cornucopia of wonderful musical endeavors and happiness that will feel her very soul (yes, she even has a soul!). Every week you will receive a letter from your adoptee (me) telling of how your donation has enriched my life. I'll even send you doe eyed pictures of me snuggling up to my new treasures that will melt your heart (if you have one. which can only be proven if you participate in this program that is the highest echelon of charity). I know you are all tempted... to delete this letter. Go ahead. Shatter all my dreams... *blaming the melodrama on her insomnia* Laura _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

Sinister: If mummy loved me, why is she in the ground?
by Robert Foster 13 Aug '99

13 Aug '99

Robert McTaggers said something about Northy being forgotten. Hang On, Northy, Out there, some where. I thought he rejoined. I remember a few months ago Northy making an appearance and then someone saying "Oh, it's good to have Northy back". ~~~Did this really happen or have I been eating salt again.~~~ I guess we'll never know. I too heard Hefner on Peel last night. I'd never heard them before, and to be honest when everyone started talking about them I thought you meant Hepburn, I know, I am a little bit thick. I couldn't understand why you all were going ape shit over a really poor girl band. But now I know. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: wine in the morning and some breakfast at night
by MTandrow＠aol.com 13 Aug '99

13 Aug '99

at the risk of disrupting the fascinating threads about masturbation, drinking marathons, and blair witches, i am going to ask a few questions that are positively dripping with pure, undiluted, absolutely flaming B&S content: 1. i've heard disturbing rumors that the new LP won't be out until "early next year" -- does anyone have any updated, and hopefully less depressing, news on this subject? and what about the 3-track EP? how's that coming along? please enlighten me. 2. were the three '97 EPs actually recorded after the IYFS sessions, or did any of them predate them? i ask out of curiosity and because i'm a geek who really likes to know about these things. 3. i can't think of a third question right now. ultra-sincerely, mike +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Excuse Me, Have You Seen My Keys?
by PJMiller 13 Aug '99

13 Aug '99

It's sad that Jeff Buckley died, I thought he had the potential to become the new Lenny Kravitz. I hope Johnny Marr does join Oasis. One thing I've always thought the pop scene could learn from heavy metal is that kind of transfer market they have, enabling people to have opinions about "Dio-era Sabbath" or "Priest now Halford's gone" or "The Purps' Little and Large years". Unfortunately, I shall be unable to attend TIGERMILKING upstairs at the Garage tonight, but I'm hoping to be able to make it in spirit. DJ Fat Slug, if you're out there - you know what I want to hear, play it! You played it for her, now you can play it for me. If she can stand it, I can stand it. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon, and for the rest of your life. I refer, of course, to the legendary "Sister Disco" by the 70s WHO. By the way, that was my little tribute to Alfred Hitchcock. Don't talk about baseball, there's a bomb under the table! That was another. Tonight there are two Hitchcock films and a rockumentary on the telly. I'm going to watch the lot of it, even though I think he's crap compared to Chuck Norris. Fluffy, the people you rail against are not advertising executives, they are the ironically named advertising creatives. Jimmy from The 70s WHO film "Quadrophenia" works in an advertising agency. He nicks some photos of birds and has a wank about them. He's one of us really, isn't he? By the way Sarah, the word "coasters". I don't think you learned that in the greater Preston area, did you? Too much Camden Town, young lady. Goes to your head. Next thing you know, you'll be wearing boob tubes and candy-striped trousers. Apparently there's a brain drain in Canada. Is that why Genevieve's in Detroit and Elisabeth's in Chorlton? I saw some people having it off the other day. I'd been to see the "eclipse" at the top of a big fuck-off hill, and when I got home, still thrilled by the magnificent spectacle of the light going a little tiny bit funny if you convinced yourself, I found out I'd lost my keys, so I had to go back for them that afternoon, tracing my steps like a plank. In order to trace my steps like a plank I had to pass a man with crutches standing by his car, and a few steps further on there was a "couple", completely starkers in the long grass. They weren't actually having it off, I think they'd finished, but they were sort of entwined, in a kind of post-coital serpent's embrace. I should have asked them to get up a moment and rummaged around for my keys in their bumholes, but I was a bit freaked out, to be honest. So I just walked on nonchalently, and came back later for another peek. This is all well and good, but what I want to know is, if you're going to have it off in the countryside, why choose a popular spot with loads of children running around? And what was the bloke with the crutches doing? It was a nude romp, like Cliff Richard and Sue Barker used to have. I don't know what to make of it all. The mucky pups! The radio coverage of the "eclipse" was advertised over Marvin and Tammi's "Ain't No Mountain High Enough". I'm afraid I just crumpled in a heap, sobbing like a pranny. When I listened to it "properly" the next day, it wasn't as good. But that's the magic of pop, isn't it? I saw Rob Zombie on the telly today. He's got a robot in his group. Good for him. I also saw Faith No More, they eat their own poo, the dirty devils!

Sinister: I'm going to marry Claudio Reyna. He's dead cute, in a chipmunky sort of way...
by Alasdair Cook MS1996 13 Aug '99

13 Aug '99

I am stupid and forgot about Hefner on John Peel last night as well. Well, I remembered at 9 o'clock and had forgotten by 10. So if any kind soul can give me a copy please mail me and I'll be in your debt. Although I could just get out of debt by sending you a tape as well, I suppose. I'm glad Laura's alive, even if no-one else is. But the big question is, how are John Stockton and Karl Malone? These things have to be put into perspective. Anyway... Believe the hype! One of my favourite hobbies is glassing tourists. I also thoroughly enjoy bench-pressing American women, shot-putting Italian babies and playing football with Japanese cats. However I draw the line at Belgian grandma hunting. It's just cruel, and I don't care what anyone says about the increasing numbers becoming a pest. That naughty "They call me the" Warrander said, filthily: > I like it when women > make their breasts dance. I saw a girl in the Vengaboys or something who seemed to be able to make her breasts move independently of the rest of her body, which I found extremely impressive. Is this a proper skill, like wiggling your ears, or is it something all women can do? These are important issues which must be addressed. Or undressed, arf! Which leads me digustingly on to Erica's tale of the horrible Austrian bikini-eating dog. I imagine this is rather like in Carry On Camping when Barbara Windsor is doing her excercises, but I may be wrong. And stretch! And STRETCH! Somebody slap me. No, not there, the face, the FACE! The only Star you can't eclipse shrieked: > You know those advertising executives who make all the shit adverts? > Have you ever thought how good it would be if, say, instead of going to > work and creating a crappy advert that causes me to shriek with > annoyance whenever it comes on (for it is pap-reeeeka, not *pap*-rika > flavour anyway), it would be better if they just stayed at home and had > a nice wank or something? Or a cup of tea. Yes, they could stay at home saying things like "Wow, I didn't know I liked a nice wank" or "Ambassador, with this wank you are really spoiling me". bj, who used to be in M*A*S*H, said: > It's always annoyed me that he gave him > the ones - or was it only one? - on which he wrote 'How Soon Is Now' I am alone in thinking that this wasn't actually a great song and the Smiths wrote literally lots of better ones? Just wondering. And on the same topic the savage Mr Darren wrote: > Anyway if he does join Oasis maybe he could organise a > revolt No, I think Oasis are quite revolting enough as they are. Especially that monkey they employ as a lead singer. I mean at least the Roses shaved theirs. Martin refreshing fruit drink typed the following philosophical words: > Did anyone see those BBC2 programmes on > Neitzsche and J-P Sartré? Weren't they fabulous? Yes, I did, and they were excellent. I would have liked to study philosophy but unfortunately it's completely useless, just ask Ailsa Ross. On second thoughts, don't bother, just take it from me. I sincerely hope every London type who goes to Tigermilking tonight has a wonderful time, and finds meaning in an ultimately meaningless existence. Go along and be enslaved by Casarotto and his Wheels of Eel! He gets all these jellied eels, you see, and....never mind. See Erica's bikini, and a full size cardboard cut-out of the dog that ate it! Hear Vince talk about fridges! "well, I don't care what you say, I think the Electrolux 572/b shits on everything else from the Sears tower". Pick out Jim's authentic purple trousers from a line up including mauve and maroon ones and win your own weight in used condoms! * Just go. Which is exactly what you are all screaming for me to do so I.....will. Love and stuff you couldn't possibly imagine, Alasdair xx (who is completely incoherent and irrelevant) * Not all of these things are true. But most are. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
