Sinister: "I heard the stars are bright - but they dont give out any heat!"
by Graeme Hacking 12 Aug '99

12 Aug '99

- Jarvis Cocker, Pulp Intro - fitting i feel, as they (i.e. our star) clearly stopped giving out heat for a few minutes 2day! So After 4 days Non-stop B+S listening ive decided that my favourite is still This Is Just a Modern Rock Song But, after repeated listenings to TBWTAS, i think than Sleep The Clock Around is smashing - if only cos of the nifty sounding happy notes at the start! I think TBWTAS is quickly becoming one of my top ten favourite albums, possibly even top five (cos i cant think of many others that are better at this particular moment in time). Both Dirty Dream Number Two (reminds me of the McAlmont and Butler hit a few years ago!!!) and The boy With The Arab Strap make me think - about nothing in particular, mind - they just make me think. And A Summer Wasting has a bassline that sounds like a grungy version of Good Vibrations at one point - sorry, im a bass player myself so these think are IMPORTANT. Oh hell, and Seymour Stein....well, it reminds me off an Oasis song for some reason....possibly Half The World Away. Oooooooooooo.....and the HARMONIES....the harmonies are possibly the best ive ever heard from any band....ever! And they mention Dundee!!!!!!!!!! Hi to all the folks up there, especially my dad in StAndrews Um Think can be filed under useless emails! Chris_t_opher ICQ # 44383377 Ps. Anyone go to uni or live in any of these cities please tell me what theyre like to live in as i might be going to one!: York Edinburgh - the uni in particular Nottingham UMIST Your energy is much appreciated!!!!!!!!!! Pps. ANYONE ANYWHERE NEAR PRESTON Tomorrow, at The Adelphi (the yellow one) in Preston, Angelica (Teenage Girl Crush etc) will be playing, with support from um..... Fo-Li (Somethings) who were recently featured on The Evening Session's Unsigned Band! Its only a measly £3 and my mate Boney is DJing! So i suggest you get down there for....um.....welll...... half eight or so! U WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! Ppps. Hey Darren Savage! Jonny Marr...yes! But i think it'll only be for live performances and tv/radio thingies. Interesting tho! Maybe Electronic will stop producing S.H.I.T.E music and Jonny can start doing something constructive again :-] Bloody hell.....Pppppppppppppppps. Erica Rocks! That is to say, that the words that she use just fuse and make me smile! Gonna go and vote for you now Erica! Lol - stupid but true! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: RE: Boobs

Genevieve spoke and I listened: >Yes,I also have a question about Glasgow.Me,just me,not any of my friends or >anything (not that I don't have friends! Ha ha! *nervous laughter) heard a >rumour from this guy that in Glasgow,the men are really burly there and love >to bench-press foriegn women in between taking breaks from that caber >tossing. Is this true? No, no, no. Sorry to disappoint Genevieve but apart from the tossing bit none of this is really true about Glasgow men. It's actually up in the North of the country where the REAL men live, and I suppose I'm sort of speaking from the horse's mouth being a giant of a man (not that you'd guess from my slender frame) with a fiery bush of red hair on my head and a plethora of "foreign" notches up and down my bedpost. Speaking of shite though (or was that just speaking shite?) how shite were Travis on TOTP on channel 5? Fuck off indie boy with your dour Radiohead wannabe shit song and your oh so ironic "playboy" t-shirt. Give me the completely unironic dancing sexy chicks and catchy summer tune that was on before them anyday. I like it when women make their breasts dance. Somebody told me that the whole SOS farce was down to that evil JJ fellow. You watch it evil JJ fellow, I've got my eye on you. Well, I will have any minute when I wander round the Beech for a pint. If Racheee's there I might talk dirty for her. I'll bet she doesn't make her breasts dance for me though. It's so one sided that relationship. I love you all. I really do.

Sinister: seymour glass (No B+S content)
by Melanie Chisholm 12 Aug '99

12 Aug '99

Hurrah! I am so glad that someone else is as excited about Salinger's other work as I am. The Glass family is so endearing. I would be certainly up for participating in a Seymour Glass fanclub. Though I am also a bit taken with Zooey. Has anyone managed to get their hands on any of Salinger's unpublished works? Apparantly he is quite particular about these stories availability, so you can only really get them in the library, in the original magazines that they appeared in. I hear that Holden Caulfield pops up in one, and his middle name is revealed. Any guesses? Morrissey! some coincidence. k. _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

.....It's like a chapter 2 thing. Hi poppies. Anyone remember the Stella/Statue falling incident I told you all about before?.Well it has been surpassed by an even more incedibly stupid act.After several ales in The Welly (top pub) we decided to go up to Callander Park and have a pond jumping tournament.It all ended in tears. Steve S xx p.s One Rangers fan is enough,dont you think Ailsa? p.p.s I'm going to stop calling people gorgeous as it was pointed out to me that I sound like the gayest boy in all the world. p.p.p?.s After sending a query to Time mag regarding my votes for Mr Murdoch I got a shockingly snooty reply.Basically they told me to stop wasting their time.Philistines. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: The poetry parrot returns
by Graham MacArthur 12 Aug '99

12 Aug '99

The Poetry parrot was last seen flying my direction. I have chosen something by someone who used to be sexy, but is now dead. Surely a warning for the liststuds. PERCY PISSHEAD Percy Pisshead wets the bed shits his pants and craves romance Percy Pisshead can't see further than the end of his nose and vomits on his clothes Percy Pisshead can't remember anything he did or said the night before or the night before or the night before David Robilliard The poetry parrot was last seen flying in the direction of David Moore. Who isn't at all like John Peel, no no no. Oh yes, and Steve c said.. > Does there exist a list of dates that we all gained our voices upon or > something along those lines, so's we could have a quasi "Sinister B-day" or > something. Think of the wit and smut spread 'round on "Nick Dastoor Day" or > the sheer Bacchanlian street party that will be "Paula Cullen Booze Explosion > Day"? How the young lads would look forward to "Erica MacArthur's" > aniversary.. It's my seventeenth birthday in a month or so, will that do? I expect lots of presents. Ma and Pa asked me if I wanted driving lessons yesterday. I told them I wanted a tigerprint scarf and a lifetime subscription to Playgirl. They didn't laugh.

where'd you hear that? maybe a generation ago... don't worry - it's not true at all. glasgow is a fun place to be for anyone. the people are nice, their accents are really cool & the pubs are fun. i would try to stay in the west end and eat pasties from gregg's bakery. the hostel above kelvingrove is okay but b & b's are better for creature comforts (are you a creature?). watch for wild haggis however - they are quite dangerous and tend not to fancy strangers. and don't go to the easterhouse! bill --- Walkn10(a)aol.com wrote: > Don't mean to post twice in such quick succession, > but I heard a nasty rumor > and I hope someone out there can dispell it for me. > My friend and I are > going to the UK for two weeks next spring and we're > plotting out places to > see (we'll be frequenting the youth hostels > obviously).

Sinister: oh, I can't think of anything witty for this bit...
by ar981611＠student.paisley.ac.uk 12 Aug '99

12 Aug '99

Well, the hangover sustained from the London picnic has finally abated, so can I quickly say ~cheers~ to whoever nicked my sandwich while I was crying about thunderstorms in the pub, thus meaning I drank enough alcohol to put Paula Cullen to shame with merely one bite of a mozzarella and tomato baguette and two strawberries to soak it all up. Hopefully this will explain away my appalling behaviour. I have no idea if my behaviour was appalling or not, but Mark knows what colour of pants I was wearing so it must have been bad...he also knows about SteadyMike's pants so at least someone has more to worry about than me. Hello to everyone I met, both again and for the first time. And I'm sorry. Oh, and an even bigger and more ~~sarcasm thingies~~~~C!H!E!E!R!S!~~~ to the enterprising thief who stole my bank card and then proceeded to empty my account on the Saturday night. And big hurrahs to the dearly departed Big Gay Stu for accompanying me on an all-night sight-seeing tour of London and providing breakfast, a jumper and train tickets (not to mention drink and nightclub entry money) when I realised that being stuck in the middle of London with no money and no idea of how to get to Mark's house was not really the ideal way to lose my London picnic virginity. Erm, what can I say. I was very, very drunk. I shudder to think what Stu will get up to in South America, since his idea of "sightseeing" involved Scotland Yard, the Department of Trade and Industry, and the headquarters of Channel 4. We did see some pelicans though. Gosh, is Alasdair really the only Rangers fan on the list then? Hee hee. The girl that sits next to me at work is an Ayr United fan, and I was excitedly telling her about the Tigermilk advertising board at Somerset Park, until she confessed that she just *says* she supports Ayr because she's from there, but really she supports Rangers "because my boyfriend would chuck me if I didn't". Isn't that sad. I have never understood women who do things because their boyfriends want them to. Or because anyone else wants them to for that matter. My boyfriend supports Clyde and I couldn't support them in a million years. We almost had our first fight the other day, because he said he thought B&S sounded like the sort of band you'd listen to when you were stoned and you wanted something to go to sleep to, and he laughed when I said I couldn't fall asleep, or work, or anything, when Belle and Sebastian were on as I just want to listen to them and do nothing else. Some people just don;t understand...what is the point of having something so beautiful there if you don't appreciate it. Or am I just being a bit precious about the whole thing? Does anyone want some tickets for All Tomorrow's Parties then? Really, there seems to be a plethora of people booking chalets without enough people to fill them. I know someone with THREE spaces in a chalet with three very nice people. Please?!?! None of the people is me, which can only be a bonus. In fact, go to http://come.to/bowlie2 and there's a link on the bottom there to the NME message board designated to help people find chalet mates. Carsmile Steve has already put his tuppenceworth in, and he's not even going (or are you? Go on, you know you want to...) The eclipse was crap up here, it didn't get very dark at all, and no-one cheered. Possibly because I was in work at the time and we weren;t even allowed out for a wee look (but I did peer out the window a bit). I hope the millenium isn't as over-rated as that. I have decided to come to London for New Year (despite a very tempting offer to spend it on a beach in Rio with Big Stu, I don't quite think my limited temp-worker wages will stretch to that somehow), so I think we should have a Sinister New Year picnic on Primrose Hill. I promise to still be able to stand/speak by midnight. Alternatively, I may be in New York. We shall see. (Though I'll most likely be in my mum and dad's sitting room in Inverness with a dry martini and a bit of shortbread and Elaine C Smith on the telly). There's an advert on BBC Scotland just now for BBC Online, and it's got an old dearie saying that she likes Belle and Sebastian. Quite. And now, I'm off out to glass some Americans, cos that's what we all do round these parts, Ailsa xx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
