Sinister: You beautiful people
by Theresa Lowe 11 Aug '99

11 Aug '99

Just a short post to say a really huge thank-you to all the people who sent their sympathies about my dog dying, it really cheered me up! You all deserve a huge kiss. Unfortunately i am not able to make Friday nights festivities due to my social butterflying but i will definitely be shaking my funky stuff at the next, so watch out. Lots of Love Theresa xox p.s Mark, I live in the Richmond area so perhaps we should organise a autumnal souiree (or however it is spelt) in Richmond Park. Hyancinth Bucket would be proud. _____________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Sinister: A DOG SAVAGED MY BIKINI
by Graham MacArthur 11 Aug '99

11 Aug '99

Popkittens and cats alike, hot damn! back from austria. In a whirlwind of scnapps and mountain air and swimming in lakes, I'm back. again. Bloody bastard dogs. A sudden gust of wind blew my fifty-knicker (thats pounds, to everyone else) bikini top off the balcony of my hotel and a bloody DOG bit it and mauled it to no state of repair. I watched helpless. I attempted to hit the bastard bloody dog with one of my shoes, but I was four floors up, and missed. The woman in reception thought this was very funny, (yeah HA de bloody HA HA) but at least gave me some money to cover the cost of it. I'm going to make some badges which say 'I hate Austrian dogs'. Anyone want one? I'm going to write this message on every surface and even adorn plectrums with it. Tommorow, I'm going to MARCH into town tommorow and buy some tape for my dymo-labeller and start posting the message across the land. I wish I'd scribbled it inside a few austrian toilets now I think of it. DOGS. They dribble and they shit in your garden. JOIN ME! Write 'I hate austrian dogs' on a surface today. Yes! free badges when photographic evidence of people doing this is provided! (dream on, darlink) I know.. So far as Austria goes, it appears I'm quite the demon on a mountain bike. I also climbed mountains, refusing to wear hiking boots but managing better than all the other british people anyway - you think Red Bull packs a punch? Try Kendall mint cake. I didn't get round to reading any Camoo as I said, in the evenings I was too busy going on cheap wine cruises around the Zell Am See Lake, sitting at the back of the boat with my new-found comtemparies giggling like a bunch of teenagers. Which we quite obviously were. We also stole someones push bike one night and took turns drunkenly pushing eachother long on it, with gay abandon. There's a good story about a pretty french boy, but I'm not going to tell you because it would cheapen good gossip. I will say, however....Ding *a* Ling! > Believe it or not, sex ed at my school was part of the R.E. > curriculum. God only knows why, but there you go. In R.E at my school they wrote all the swear words with sexual connotations on the blackboard and taught us what they meant. It was probably one of the most useful things I learnt in the lowerschool. 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. I got my sex education from Just Seventeen's problem pages. I think I was skiving the one time they did it at secondary school, because when I came back I overheard a horriffic story of everyone being told to put condoms over test tubes, and one boy broke the test tube attempting this and promtly started crying. Xavier said: >topless or nude....'cause they're wearing pasties. So they feel like they >have some class and dignity or something. I could be reading two far >into this... Did you know Kelly Brook of Big Breakfast fame says she never really poses topless because she always hides her nipples behind a hand or a certain side pose which doesn't show them? "I have to save something for my boyfriend" she giggled. On the masturbation thing I have two things I failed to mention.. 1) My friend the super duper Hannah Salt (she so great, she made me two tapes to take away with me and in some parts, she'd decided she didn't take a song half way through but didn't bother to edit it out! fab! and her little brother had stolen one of the tapes and put it in his dictaphone and made funny 'wooooo' ghost noises in the middle of mogwai, which was very funny) and I call certain over enthusiastic guitarists 'Fret Wankers' 2) Cliff Jones can come in his own mouth. Yes I did just say that. And I know because I've seen him. Now, if you'll excuse me I have to fall alseep for two days. Erica x P.s I've currently got the poetry parrot staying with me for a bit. I'll post some poetry soon. I read a trashy beach book on holiday where a parrot gets drunk every sunday on everyone else's wine and booze and falls off his perch. You can borrow it if you like, it's quite good, in a re-assuringly crap kind of way. P.P.s I'm so this is so fucking long, but there was something else I wanted to say, I read a few mails after the reports came in from the last london picnic from peeps saying they'd wished they'd come and they were jealous, and some that were scared to come on their own - come to Tigermilking (you know! the one with all the superfly djs and fantastic peeps!) no one bites unless you want them too. I'll be there, in a mess and in a dress most probably. Everyone likes meeting new people, me espcially. It's like when I was thinking of going swimming in this river on holiday, it was freezing, and you couldn't see the bottom which was quite scary, and I put a foot in, and I wanted to run away, but then I jumped right in and burst out from under the water laughing. If you need anymore persudeing you can mail me personally. Hell, I might even tell you the prettyfrenchboy story if you're lucky. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: a sinsiter virgin
by Sharon Leach 11 Aug '99

11 Aug '99

hello peeps Firstly, may I say 'hello there...I'm new to this list...blah blah...' I did actually try and register a few months back, but I was having problems doing so for some reason. But I'm here now, with my B&S wallpapered desktop, and I'm all ready to go... I'm from Manchester, and I was wondering if there was any picnics organised for the near future? I've been checking the messageboard, and anything that looked promising has faded away...so if there has been developments, that would be cool. Also, has anyone got the tracklisting for the Bowlie BBC gig? I don't know the titles for half of them...and I keep listening to it trying to work out what the titles are. Were most of the songs b-sides? I have the vinyl versions of the singles, so I'm missing about 10 songs from my collection... I wasn't able to attend the Bowlie gig unfortunately. All my chalet leads disappeared, and I was left with no ticket. I was gutted, but there will be other concerts (fingers crossed). I joined a bit ago, and I've finally been given a voice. But this was mentioned, and I feel the need to comment... Brandt said - <<Is there such a thing as the "perfect" mate?>> Well I thought I met mine 2 years ago - you know, all that same wavelength thing...you just click. So I thought this lad was the perfect mate...turns out he was the total opposite to me, and not perfect... Now I think I've met another perfect mate...again, he knows what I'm thinking before I say it...Anyway, I met him over the net, and finally met him the other week and talked about this soulmate thing - and he totally understood and reciprocated. So what I am saying is go for it - you'll never realise how perfect, or imperfect, they are until you take the next step! If this person seems perfect - you go with it Brandt. And good luck! And lastly, I'm pondering over whether to buy any looper and salako. Are they very much in the style of B&S? And what would you recommend as a first purchase? After buying Tigermilk, it just hasn't been off my stereo, it's wonderful. I just need more *new* B&S, which means I'm going to have to rebuy the singles on CD, so I can complete my collection! But it would be good to know whether looper are worth it.... Thanks for reading!! Sharon --- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Please understand. We don't want no trouble. We just want the right to be different.

Sinister: this.. that... something else.. one more thing.. no, not that..
by * * 11 Aug '99

11 Aug '99

hello dears!! ive been trying to spare you guys from my boring posts, but... im kinda bored right now.. and i have had this one in my "filing cabinet" for quite some time now.. so i thought i would paste it in and send it... its kinda old tho.. sorry.. honey kinda exclaimed "Gaaaa what! Why do I keep hearing rumours that people get banned from the list! In all it's time, I've only had to ban two people, and I don't think anyone would have disagreed in those instances! Anyway please don't go and please have NICE dreams about me, I'm nice really :)" never said you werent nice.. but.. i do. i have actual nite mares where i wake up in the middle of the night tossing and turning about you asking me (very politely, but asking just the same) for me to leave the list. so.. there. :) the darling Steve C. mentioned that the beginning of expectations sounds like if your feeling sinister, and i totally agree.. just thought i would mention that. Kah questioned "1. what is "Le Pastie" of "Le Pastie de la Bourgoisie" ??? i asked some of my french friends, and they don't have the slightest clue." back in the school year.. i asked my teacher and she said that it is a drink for the upper class of france yesterday i was going thru boxes of papers.. and i found a piece i had torn out of the rolling stone from the 1998 top something or another (50?) most influential essential bands or something like that.. and.. on this page was the number 31 band.. which just happens to be B&S. and.. i find this strange because i wasnt into them when this took place, and there isnt anyone else on the page that i ever liked.. but there is a cute picture of dear Mr. Murdoch.... and the following passage.. which i bet y'all have already seen, and im pretty sure you know all the information but i feel like contributing... so, im gonna type it.. and then you can bask in the memories if you want, or just scroll over it.. if you havent already gone onto the next post... "Belle and Sebastian are indie rock's most notorious shrinking violets. They refuse to be photographed, shun performers and rarely perform in public. Even becoming a band was somewhat of an accident for the Scottish collective. Each year, Alan Rankine, a one time member of the '80s popsters the Associates, shows his music business class at Glasgow's Stowe College how to produce and market a record. In 1996, the class picked a demo tape by shy singer/guitarist Stuart Murdoch, impressed both by his meticulously arranged, slyly funny pop tunes, and his ethereal, Nick Drake-like voice. "The strength of his songs just pissed on everything from such a great height!" raves Rankine. A surprised Murdoch cobbled some musician friends together and recorded the acclaimed Tigermilk EP. "We thought it was ok" says drummer Richard Colburn. "Then record companies and fans started calling and we thought, My God, what have we done?" They signed with the Enclave label, which folded soon after the release of the excellent If Your Feeling Sinister. A new record will be released by Matador this summer, but the band is still devising ways to confound the public. "I'm going to suggest something daft like touring the world's Holiday Inns," says Rainkine, still a band confidant "that ought to keep them occupied" okees.. i'll leave you alone now xoxoxoxox Jes (who... is about an hour north of Princeton, but her dad wont let her out of the house) _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

Sinister: there'll be music...sweet music
by Genevieve Wesley 11 Aug '99

11 Aug '99

Dearest List, Hmmm...Detroit is interesting.Takes half hour to go 5 miles.Lots of car shows.And whats with the American boy style of picking up women? Insulting my method of transportation (bicycle) ? Very nice! And the end comment 'I'll see you around...' and then whizzing off in fancy car.Well WHEN will I see you around? For god's sake, Be a man! What D.O.N.G could stand for is very interesting Alaisdair.I have to be carefull on this list though..I mean,if they find 'Gui' a naughty word,well,you know..Long Dong Silver and that 'joke'. Hur hur. I just wanted to thank-you all for the book recommendations,now I only hope I have enough time to finish them.I already finished Like Water For Chocolate.Some tasty paragraphs in there.I am in a library right now actually...I picked up some Gabriel Garcia Marquez. 'Love In The Time Of Cholera' and 'Of Love And Other Demons'. *I* was going to write a great novel about the scandalous love affair between a beautiful dark-haired Irish priest and a girl,so you can imagine my surprise when I discovered the plot of Of Love And Other Demons.Marquez beat me to it! Of course,in my story,the girl would not be possesed by a demon.She would be a wind-swept farm girl...sigh. I also lost my Nick Drake virginity,which was beginng to be very embarrasing. I am happy to say it was a wonderful experience...now the Belle and Sebastian comparisons with him,I can see.But the Smiths? No no. I keep having Hefner dreams... Love, Genevieve-don't-forget-the-motor-city p.s ginger fox...thankyou very much for the lovely tapes xoxo p.p.s Talk of Billy Graham on the list? I SAW him last year! Along with Michael W 'Is It Hot In Here?' Smith.He was a pleasant man,but the whole experience was very strange,and kept me thinking for a long time.When I told one of the counsellors that some of what Billy had said made me feel guilty inside,he looked at me,and then went 'Well,that is the Devil inside you' which,sorta..umm...freaked me out. :) ______________________________________________________ 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".

RE: Sinister: Friendly strangers come in small packages.....
by Burke, Jeffrey 11 Aug '99

Hi's and hullos, I'm officially granted a voice today. what a great day. Seriously no sarcasm here. I also got a new job today. at considerable pay increase. Where I get to work with local bands and their MP3's wow. Today is almost historic in the life of Burke. .by the way I know a "burke" is a derogotory term over there but it's my name what else can I say. I'd like to compliment everyone on the list for their general wit and intelliegence. It's obvious you all have at least a passing interest in things intellectual....far and away the most literate list I've ever seen. here is my first ignorant question. What is this list-crush that has been bandied about? I've looked over the site however briefly and haven't figured out what it was. again pardon my ignorance. I look forward to discussing life with you. jeffrey burke > -----Original Message----- > From: holly woodlawn [SMTP:holly_woodlawn@hotmail.com] > Sent: Wednesday, August 11, 1999 11:51 AM > To: sinister(a)Majordomo.net > Subject: Sinister: Friendly strangers come in small packages..... > > Hello big list... > > Hope you are all doing fine today. > I've taken a break from wallpapering #sinister to ask you all of your > opinion on this dress i made of the extra scraps.... no, what i really > came > here for was to try and locate a C.Howell somewhere in TN. > If you are on the list (which i think you are) can you please email me? > holly_woodlawn(a)hotmail.com > okie doke. > that should be all for now. > bye xx > Holly/Sandra. > > > ______________________________________________________ > 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".

Sinister: All Tamara's Panties
by Tony 11 Aug '99

A huge bundle of flyers delivered to Sister Ray whilst I was making enquiries about Appendix Out indicates that perhaps Barry Hogan is having a little difficulty selling the event. Hope everyone who went to Cornwall had a good time hope you don't mind but I've helped myself to your stereo whilst you were away. On the subject of mysterious phenomon that only occur every 70 years how come only 10 people were present for The Clientele 6 of whom consisted of myself + assorted friends yet everyone on Sinister's claiming they were there too? Whoever it is who lost that little red book at I will be Upstairs at the Garage this Friday so you can have the damn thing back. So how DO you milk a Tiger ? Very Carefully... doh TC +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Couple of gigs (one B&S related)
by mickcooke＠lycosmail.com 11 Aug '99

11 Aug '99

Hi there, Just to let you know of a couple of post-eclipse entertainments in the Glasgow area, which should be pretty good I reckon: El Hombre Trajeado + Múm Friday 13th August 13th Note Cafe King Street Glasgow Doors 9pm Múm on about 9.45pm 3 pounds entry Múm are Kristin and Gyda (who posts to the list as Giita) - Icelandic twins who I met at Bowlie - and a couple of other people also from Reykjavik. Their music is really good; electronic- lots of bleeps and beats- with occasional ethereal vocals. They also use cello and violin sometimes. They have played a few gigs in swimming pools, using 'underwaterspeaker'. I've not seen them live before, but am looking forward to it. El Hombre are good too, a kind of more melodic Fugazi, who use keyboards and samples. V>Twin and DJ's Wednesday 18th August Glasgow School of Art Renfrew Street Glasgow 9pm- 1am (might be free, Chris wasn't sure- I'll let you know nearer the time) Those of you who went to Bowlie will know V>Twin, as will a few of you who didn't. Chris Geddes plays keyboards with them, they like soul, electronic music, Pharaoh Sanders, and Primal Scream. And they sound pretty good. Cheers, Mick Cooke +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
