Sinister: Delete if you're not in the southern U.S.

Just wondering... are any of you Sinister Southerners going to the REM/Wilco/Mercury Rev show Tuesday night in San Antonio? Should I be on the lookout for upside-down badges or baby-blue Stow shirts?

Sinister: A mile and a half on foot takes longer . . .
by fionaone＠camtech.net.au 12 Aug '99

12 Aug '99

Hello. After a few weeks of voyeuristically reading all your posts (which has been quite fascinating since i hear nothing about Belle and Sebastian in Australia), i now have a voice of my very own. I probably won't write very often due to my sloth-like nature but for now i'll introduce myself. My name is Fiona. I live in Adelaide (the capital city of my state, South Australia), as i have done for the whole twenty years and two months of my life. This is where i work (behind the reception desk at a fitness centre) and study (Adelaide uni - English and Classics) too. Belle and Sebastian are currently my very favourite band because they make lovely tunes that force me to smile. The other day I walked to work listening to my tape of TBWTAS and nearly cried when I got there - although it was only half because i had to turn the music off. But then work was good because it was very busy so it went quickly. And i only got abused by one person for being incompetent, but that was her problem and not mine. But then i had sore feet from standing up for 5 hours. And i have to go to bed soon so i can get up at 5 am to cover a shift for someone with sore knees. Anyway, I have only been listening to B & S for about 3 months. I went out and bought TBWTAS the day after hearing the title track at about 3 in the morning as i struggled to write an essay on James Joyce. Then i took a tape of it on a bus to Melbourne and it proved to be perfect travelling music and it made it easy to ignore the woman next to me who was sewing and shaking little bits of fluff all over my clothes. Since then i have only heard B & S played twice more on the radio, at similar times so they're not getting a lot of exposure over here which is very sad. But i have been telling everyone about them. Getting hold of all their recordings is proving to be quite tricky but i live in eternal hope. O, and i have been incredibly jealous of all the people who have been complaining about the heat since it's been horribly cold down here. Well, I have nothing more to say for now so I'll just keep reading. Fiona. fionaone(a)camtech.net.au nausikaa85(a)hotmail.com P.S. Theresa, you have all my sympathy. Dogs are the best people. Really. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Glasgow
by Walkn10＠aol.com 12 Aug '99

12 Aug '99

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). I consulted a friend who's from London and he warned us not to step foot inside Glasgow, as being Yanks we'll be sure to get roughed up and glassed. He said every American friend he knows has had this happen to them. Please tell me this is not true because I really, really want to see Glasgow but not if I have to wear some shards of Guiness in my head for the rest of my life. Anyway, I pray that some Glasgow listee can assure me these scurrilous whispers are false...

Sinister: From Johnny Marr to Marlon Brando
by Guilherme Barrella 12 Aug '99

12 Aug '99

Hello Sinisterines, First of all: Johnny Marr joining Oasis. This is not true, yet. I heard that the band called him and invited him to join them, but he hasn't answered yet. Anyway, some people heard that he said no. I hope so. Second, the end of the world. Bloody fake! What am I supposed to do now? I mean, who's gonna pay my credit card bills? Who's gonna take care of the elephant I bought? And six girls called me telling I'm going to be a dad. Oh well, when is the next apocalypse? Third, my dad is going to kick me out from my home. He said he's tired and he wants to spent some time alone with my mom. Anyway, he said me and my brothers should leave until the end of the year 2000. And he even wrote our fates. My brother will join the army, my sister will marry with her long-time boyfriend and I will leave the country. Oh, sounds great to me daddy! But there's a problem. He's not paying it and I'll be still paying for the damn elephant. So, I'm looking for a sweet girl to marry me and to take me to her home sweet home. All I can give in return is my eternal love, care and a great record collection. Yes, we'll be happy forever, I know we will. Oh, I have to go now because "Godfather 2" is on the telly. This means I'll be talking in a italian accent for the next 4 days or so. Yeah, I'm that influential. Buonanotte. Amore, gui "bones" corleone (like if my last name wasn't italian enough) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: The public must see a steady state or they won't believe...
by Walkn10＠aol.com 12 Aug '99

12 Aug '99

So how was the eclipse for those who saw it? I saw the quite beautiful shot of it on the supper news and I wished I could have been there. Of course I figured if I was going to blind myself I may as well enjoy it so I stayed in and "tossed about" all day. I didn't just say that... Anyway, this Lilys record is consuming me whole in its splendidness. I've heard Better Can't Make Your Life Better is, well, better but I have yet to hear it. Speaking of things I haven't seen/heard (which could fill a big bloody book) I've been hearing RAVE reviews from all my friends and family that have trekked to the theatres to see "The Sixth Sense" which is about some kid who sees and talks to dead people. Its sounds "dead" interesting (ba-dum-dum). Of course, it has Bruce Willis which theoretically means it should be complete and utter shite, but I'll give anyone who was in Pulp Fiction the benefit of the doubt. Is anyone besides Lee (MadFlwr) going to the Philly Mogwai show? I live near DC but I'd love to make both shows so I'm begging someone to take me in for one night and give me shelter from the oppresive cruelty that capitalism has begot! I like Risk, basketball and hard cider and I memorize sections of movie dialogue for kicks. I'll be very unobtrusive and I promise to be amazed at your fair city because believe or not I've never done more than drive through it. Ok, Ok...I'll throw in a packet of crisps. Does anyone know anything of the circumstances surrounding Jeff Buckley's death a few years back. I know he drowned and all that but someone recently told me that he read that it was intentional, and therefore a suicide. He said he read an interview with the guy who accompanied Jeff to the river that night and supposedly the guy said Jeff started singing at the top of his lungs and just walked right into the river and never stopped until the water got over his head and he drowned. The autopsy showed Jeff was cold sober so I'm not sure what to think. In any case I'm a huge fan of Jeff's and if anyone else is I hope they email me because I can't talk about him to anyone I know (they're so, like, 1998). I heard the new Echo and Bunnymen record the other day and I was quite impressed. I mean, its no "Back of Love" or "Seven Seas" but its still pretty sweet. Is it just me or does that guy sing exactly like Bruce Springsteen now? There seems to be an influx of Steves and Stephens for some odd reason. At my count there's like 8 of us now or something. Ahhh the Steves/Stephens of Sinister...what a crap lot. I really think Judge Judy should run for president. I love that woman.

Sinister: this is no declaration
by ZvoRunA 12 Aug '99

12 Aug '99

dear, i was a little late blooming and the boys in highschool called me frigid for not wanting to press my lips up against theirs all dribbling with beer. i was a little late joining this B&S list and sat by making comments to no one but myself about piddling myself and the infamous Blair Witch. just because i have wanted to share this secret, may i say for the others who are with clitoris that laying in a bathtub and letting a gentle stream of water fall onto your sensitive spot is a wonderful way to climax. "look ma no hands". for a few weeks i have been trying to purchase a little book from Stuart but i keep getting this cute message on the Treehouse about them not taking any orders throughout the month of July. i am patient enough to wait out their tardiness but can you tell me how long my patience needs to wait? it likes to know. my brand new shiny Tigermilk is beckoning once again so i must obey. yes, it took me this long to finally find it amidst the ruins of this sprawl. i am among those with a fetish for Scottish accents so i am very pleased that this album is graced with the sweet talk of a girl. while i melt from the boys talking, the girls simply make me evaporate. its my pretty persuasion. from where i'm sitting rain, z- _____________________________________________ Free email with personality!

Re: [Sinister: A DOG SAVAGED MY BIKINI]
by Stephen Heister 12 Aug '99

12 Aug '99

Hello People, Um.... Well I just have to say that, I suppose that is why "Dogs are everywhere" and they "rip up everything that you belive in" Sorry i just cannot resist a good Pulp Lyric. I personally can't stand people that keep dogs. (excluding of course the people who recently had deaths of dogs and you have my deepest sympathies, to lose any emotional attachment at all is hard) but back to i can't stand people that keep dogs, they are cowards that can't bite people themselves. Sadly though I haven't got a bikini that could have been ravaged so i will change the subject now! I just got back from a wonderful trip to the mountains. I spent the time picking blueberries and reading. I also bought a guitar, i have had this recent obbsession with learning how to play "chickfactor" I will do it damn it!!! But anyway this time in the mountains was spent with friends and plenty of B&S music to sound track the idyll moments in my life. I was welcomed home by all of you with over a hundred messages in my box. Gosh it scared me i think i am going to change to digest mode, but that would require thought something i cannot handle right now so i will leave this message with the ideal that B&S did dominate the weekend. So everyone must know that B&S are wonderful in the mountains as well, in fact i have converted almost 3 people to the wonderland of lovely tunes.

Sinister: looper-ific
by mkl206＠is8.nyu.edu 12 Aug '99

hi again this is actually low on content, though i was going to say the brand spanking new *fact* that "burning flies" is being used in the trailer for the movie _dog park_ by bruce mccullugh. that is probably misspelled, but just know that he's the bruce from kids in the hall, so that should explain his fine taste in music. the release date is september 24th, though there's no neat official website with bells and whistles yet, nor could i find any information about a soundtrack. um, can you tell i get bored at work? ;) xoxo megan ps - i also played that make a looper song game on their site today and it's quite fun. mkl206(a)is8.nyu.edu are we not men? we are magnetic fields. http://www.dissemination.com/megan/magneticfields/ updated 8/5/99 +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

None

Hello sinister beans, I'm tired of lurking but I have nothing interesting to say. I saw "Eyes Wide Shut" the other night, it having been just released down here(I had to wipe out quite a few sinister digests because people were discussing that and Blair Witch and I wanted to shut my eyes and ears until I'd seen them myself!). Well, I thought the film was brilliant, all of the Kubrick trademarks were in full effect. I only have one complaint; Tom Cruise's ug boots!? Oh, and the lack of naked men(you think there would have been one willy shot in there considering all of the full frontal female nudity?!) Hmmmmm. I haven't been paying full attention to the posts lately but I did see lots of people going on about female masturbation. That topic's probably ran its course now so I shant add any more to it.

Sinister:

GITS Erica wrote: "We had one teacher called Mrs Tucker, whose name amusingly morphed into Mister Ker by the end of the first term. She wasn't just ugly, she was nasty, she embarassed shy children on purpose to get the other kids to like her more." Ick - I know what that is like, as my RE teacher used to take the piss out of me so he'd be more popular, too. Of course, he was also a PE teacher who did football, and was therefore untouchable. LOUD LIBRARIES Yes, I'm still spending my days studying in the local library rather than working (which I'd rather do) or sleeping (preferred option). But recently, the library has become something of a creche, with the study room becoming a Centre for Loud Activities. So I've had to find a new library to study in, but the one that's nearest is a library that only has two proper desks but loads of those chairs that are an inch off the ground and are dead uncomfortable. RAIN IS GREAT There was this big thunderstorm here a while back, and it was great. In fact, I couldn't get to sleep because there was loads of lightning and I kept looking out of my window to try and catch a glimpse of it. Tops. GIANT PURPLE ROBOTS Oh yes, that Neon Genesis Evangelion anime series is tops . . . it starts out pretty typically, becomes rather lame and then picks up around the 7th tape to become the best thing ever. If you can rent it out somewhere, or get a loan of it from someone, I strongly recommend that you do. BELLE AND SEBASTIAN CONTENT Blue, with a black stripe.
