Sinister: oh, the hell with it
by Thomas Murphy 11 Aug '99

11 Aug '99

regarding my travails on the accursed time 100 poll site: a friend pointed out the fact that if you go to the "artists and entertainers" section, you will find BART SIMPSON in the company of picasso and chaplin, et al. (by no means do i wish to resurrect the simpsons thread from some time back) there's even an article attesting to his importance in this century. bart simpson? no "whimsical candidates"? not only is he whimsical, he doesn't exist!!! can we get this damn century over with already? just for that i'm voting for struan again. in a snit, thom xoxo _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

Sinister: My name is not Susan
by William Messent 11 Aug '99

11 Aug '99

Hullo everybody, Our list 'mom' said; <For those of a different persuasion, who think I might have not been doing *enough* for Sinister recently, I'm sorry. It's true, I've been woefully absent and the F.H. computer has been the busy bee onmy behalf. > Well I think the F.H computer's doing a grand job. But this talk of abscence, coupled with these negotiations with Virgin have me worried. Has Mr Branson put in a bid to take over our list and turn it into some F.H multinational conglomorate? No Sell Out! Did we all see the eclipse? Mmmm. Bit of a let down here near London really. Half-spooky, but not the full Blair-Witch. It was a bit spooky to see my mate get hitched last week though. It's for life you know. Brrr. They all looked gorgeous and I even wore a top hat at a jaunty angle. There was also a French girl there who I fell hopelessly in love with. On my way back, I listened to 'Tigermilk' (It's Grrrrreat!) many times on the train. What an ace album. My favourite is 'We Rule The School' at the moment; sounds a little like 'Fox In The Snow', while at the same time the solo sounds like 'Get Me Away From Here...'. Cah-razy.

Sinister: Christ, it's dark in here
by Pete Ramsdale 11 Aug '99

11 Aug '99

As predicted, my desktop eclipse was a huge success. The desklamp sun stayed at full brightness until the approach of the Tetley's-sodden, beermat moon, at which point it went thru all kinds of crescentish mullarkey, and then disappeared entirely at exactly 11:11, when I turned the lamp off. After two minutes of total darkness and freezing cold (the air conditioning in this building never was much cop), "God" (i.e. me) turned the sun back on again, and got back to work. It was what I could only call a mystical experience. I'm now thinking of jacking in all this computer-fixing rubbish to become a Swami.

Sinister: Cognitive Dissonance
by spowley＠londonsouth.businesslink.co.uk 11 Aug '99

11 Aug '99

Clare Grogan in 'Gregory's Girl' remains the definitive encapsulation of why laydeez with Scottish accents are SO alluring and charming and all that. THAT picture of her reading 'Lolita'.... RCP members with Liverpudlian accents and black polo neck jumpers and 501s and red, red lipstick - oh dear, I may have to have a nice lie down and listen to the VTwin single, this is rapidly turning into the sordid memories of an old man who should know better.

Sinister:The birds of Europe...
by Robyn Fadden 11 Aug '99

11 Aug '99

Hello, Just a quick note to say that if Arling and Cameron come to your town go see them! This Netherlands band puts on an awesome, awesome show - very fun and entertaining. They began their Vancouver show with bird calls - the "hanging bird" being a highlight (the screen showed an upside down slide of a long-legged bird...) and continued in this funny weird happy way for an hour and a half, finally saying with a wicked smile and a Dutch accent: "You have all become too excited, we must slow it down now" and then slowing down for one minute before speeding up for five minutes and then saying a friendly goodnight. Yaaay! Go see them, they love to rock. Love Robyn === I was reading the dictionary. I thought it was a poem about everything. ~Steven Wright ~~~~ Robyn Fadden rfadden(a)yahoo.com Vancouver, BC _____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: And the winner is...
by Calumn Shearer 10 Aug '99

10 Aug '99

Hail! and well met, friends... I'm going to have to be quick, kids. I'm having a crisis evening, long story - not that these bother the 1000+, but this one's boring too! Anyhow, I had, if you remember, a competition for a nice Tigermilk poster, and this notelet is just to say that it's been won and could the masses please stop e-mailing me. (this bit is Irony, considering the ammount of entries.) If the Funkyest of Sebs can post when he hath not the voice, I'm going to have a voice and not post ( In other words, I'm going back to Lurking...)

by Stuart J Green 10 Aug '99

10 Aug '99

Dear keyboard users and abusers, If any of you lovely UK ppl, want to listen to Hefner live, tune into John Peel's Radio 1 show on THURSDAY 12th AUGUST sometime between 10:10pm and midnight as they will be a bit there. Check out the website if you don't already: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/peel/index.html. I know this should really have some pure B&S content, but I am sorry this is all I have to say at the mo, except that this is just a sodern mock rong. Ha, ha, he, he...yer right! Love ya' Boo PS Theresa sadly wrote: <Today my doggy died and i am very sad. My dog was twelve years old so he has been with me since i was 10, which is a long time, he was really part of the family, you know? I think everyone will join me in hoping Theresa feels not so sad soon. - much love - I know how I would feel if my best-friend-with-a-tail, Sunny, was to die; not good. Just think of the good times, Theresa...x ___________________________________________________________ "BE ALERT!

Sinister: 'wiggy wiggy, im getting jiggy'
by JaMeS 10 Aug '99

10 Aug '99

indeed. i almost cried when i heard that line from 5ive's latest offering. quite cringeworthy. anyways.. Theresa rote: >subject line and the mood i am in i just don't care! Today my doggy >died and i am very sad. My dog was twelve years old so he has been >with me since i was 10, which is a long time, he was really part of >the family, you know? Sorry to inflict this on you, by the way, but i >am sitting at work and i really cannot be arsed with it at all. Might aw, bless. i know how you feel. i used to have a grumpy airedale terrier called Dylan, a big old grumpy dog, but we loved him to bits. he was 10 or 12 when his muscles decided they'd had enough and decided to pack it in. i shed a fair few tears i can tell you when my mummy had to take him to the vets that final time *sniff* i loved the Animals of Farthing Wood. i read the entire series when i was pretty young at skool, and i remember being quite proud of myself because it was in the grown-up section of the kids library, and none of my similarly young friends believed me that i read all the books :( Kimberly wrote: >i'm almost finished reading "seymour: an introduction" by jd salinger, >of this parish. after you put on your hiking boots and trudge through >the first half the second part is wonderful. i want to start a seymour >glass fan club. mmmmmmmm....any buyers? ooh, i'll buy, i just _love_ Salinger! he's my author of the month. well, last month anyway. i actually tried to put on my hiking boots to read Seymour, but they were the wrong size and i was rather quizzical and head-scratched by the time i reached the end. i think Franny and Zooey is probably my fave of his. Chris Jones wrote: >II by The Smiths. It agrees with me a little more than others, but the >artists I think are most B&Sesque are Simon And Garfunkel. I don't know if >anyone else agrees with me on this one? i would probably agree, the vocals certainly are in my undoubtedly uninformed opinion the most reflective of our Struans. Stevie Jackson also would probably agree with the S&G comparison (Chickfactor and S&G's Homeward Bound, and he likens Isobels Is It Wicked not to Care with Cloudy in a Mojo interview). ive never really ascribed to the Nick Drake comparison. ive tried, but with Nick Drake i always cant help but pick up on the sheer hazy psychadelic seventies-ness of his music. which doesnt really compare with belle and sebastian. i dont think any artist has closely. i think thats why i have such a love affair with their music. is the eclipse tommorow in the morning? if it is then i may miss it through sheer lazybastarditis. though i dont particularly give two hoots if i do see it or not. im rather sick of all the hype about it, its all too much. also, everybody is saying that looking directly at the eclipse is a big big no no. well ive glimpsed at the sun on several occasions when there wasnt a moon to cover it, so does that mean that im risking my eyesight? i never thought so before as i always looked away after at most a couple of seconds, but now im starting to panic. some cynics may say its 'other' activities which would lead to my potential blindness... lastly, i never had a crush on cheetarah, but April O'Neill from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon always sparked a pre-adolescent flame within me, whenever she appeared on the scene in her tight-fitting yellow jump-suits. Yowser! if we're talking real crushes, my fatal one was with a radiant beauty hailing from Nicaragua, Central America, capital city Managua, who once i laid eyes on, i was completely besotten. once that happens, you're liable to follow the 'law of the poor foolish bastard'. which involves things like falling over in their presence, or leaving important exams half-finished just because you saw them leave and must try to talk to them. double lastly, lewd winks all round for those few who decided for vote for me as a list crush. bless you all! - 'wicky wicky wah' JaMeS :) http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Hall/7789/music.html +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
