Sinister:I started off my teenage years with a poison in my mouth
by Kt788＠aol.com 07 Aug '99

...and ended them guzzling rum and cokes. Yes, in a day from now I shall no longer be able to say I am a teenager. Am I supposed to feel old at 20? I guess when your life is going nowhere, every day makes ya a bit sad. Free money is always good, though. And cake. and rum and coke, but i'd much rather be making out. I won't mention any names, but if Bob Dylan disappoints you, you deserve a good, swift smack on the bottom. And you should go confess to a priest that you are a naughty, little blasphemer. On a happier, shinier note, I've just heard the soundtrack to the Acid House movie (aahh,the many perks of working in a record store) and it's really good. So does this mean the movie is coming out soon? Has it already come out? Am i utterly clueless? I live in Nowheresburg so i don't know much about anything except astro physics. I know a thing or two about astro fizziks. What about the children?!!! juniper ################################################################ i was so much older then; i'm younger than that now. ################################################################ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: summer + longer

right, right, and hey-ho all you sinister kids. look at me being a good little 'ree and not having posted since monday. gold star for me, i decree it. i've decided that what's Really sinister about this list is all the grown men encouraging the teenaged girl listees to write in and share the ins and outs of female wanking. eh? sinister indeed. indeed! and can it really be called wanking? for girls? and incidentally, "wank" is such a perfect word. props to brits for making up a wonderfully descriptive and appropriate term. "jacking off" just doesn't have the same effect. oh, my, i didn't mean to add to this thread At All. remember the underwear thread from last january? or should i call it the "pants" thread? and should i share with you all that i, a naive american lass, ran all around london during my spring break referring to trousers as pants, cuz that's what We call them. oh, dear. has anyone seen a darling film called "shooting fish"? i've just finished watching it, and it is wonderful. suspense, action, con men, and Loooove. mostly the love part. go out and rent it or tape it off t.v. (if you're cheap like me). shy engineering-nerd boy falls for poised and elegant girl (with a really schnazzy haircut) and.... well, you'll just have to watch it. i need to get something off my chest: i've never knowingly listened to the Who. will i be shot or dealt another form of torture? is it a sin? come on, they can't be That good. mmmm, b&s content: the other day (tuesday, i think) i said to myself, enough of this sitting around the house! so i gathered up IYFS, TBWTAS, and tigermilk, the portable cd playa, and a towel, and headed outside. after taking a quick swim, i proceeded to while away the summer day listening to b&s while sitting in the sun and reading (reading Spin, if you must know -- there's some good articles for once, and lovely pic of icequeen bjork). b&s = the perfect summer soundtrack. now it is friday night and i've got nothing better to do than tell you all about it. so there you have it. take care. xoxo, marie (who is counting the days til her return to school... and 'til she can see her darling KIMberly again...) ps. lesley jo -- yr buxoms page kicks my ass! everyone ought to go visit it! do it! do it now! === ************************************************************** "I was a proper snob in college, as only a future lifetime English major can be" - buddy glass "to me she was just marie." -mersault ************************************************************** _____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Free at last, free at last....
by MTandrow＠aol.com 07 Aug '99

07 Aug '99

Hello. My name is Mike and I just got out of the nursery. I'm originally from Los Angeles, but I now live in Idaho. I bought IYFS a year or so ago simply because I thought the cover looked cool -- I had no idea that I was about to hear some of the most beautiful and brilliant music ever recorded. "The Stars of Track and Field" stuns me to this day, every time I play it. I remember seeing the Smiths in '85 at the Hollywood Palladium and being very conscious of the fact that I was in the midst of something powerful and lasting, and I really hadn't felt that way again until I discovered B&S. Last month I finally got to hear Tigermilk for the first time, and I was not disappointed. It blows my mind that a debut album can contain songs as perfect and expansive as "My Wandering Days Are Over" or "We Rule the School". I also love "I Could Be Dreaming" and "You're Just a Baby", which are pure Velvet Underground. One thing I've noticed while digging through the posting archives is, for the most part, TBWTAS is regarded as something of a disappointment. I couldn't disagree more -- I think it's a brilliant, logical expansion of the band's sound. I just wish they would've thrown "Slow Graffiti" (their crowning achievement to date, in my not-so-humble opinion) on that album, where it would've fit perfectly.... I've just realized that I'm rambling. So I'd better stop. Bye, Mike +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: It started like any other day . . .
by Dan Hooper 07 Aug '99

07 Aug '99

a friday, like any other friday, except it was payday, and it found me in my cube, at my desk, poking furiously away at my keyboard in order to finish a report for the man in the big office with the big windows that let in all that california sunshine. Then, from around the dusty pink wall, which seperates my cozy little hell from my neighbor's, comes brother paul the speacial office mail man, who, without a word or any acknowlegement of the near by presence of another lifeform, drops a twelve by twelve by one inch plain brown box on my desk. Looking up from my work, which if done correctly will enable the man with the big head in the big office with the large windows which flood the big carpet with all that california sunshine to afford to enlarge his window and his office and his head even more, I noticed a small white label on the twelve by twelve by one inch plain brown box that along with my name and the name of the business that carries the name of the man with the big head in the big office was the word "jeepster." Hazza! and Hurray! The world is transformed! For inclosed within the twelve by twelve by one inch confines of the aformentioned plain brown box are one beautifully red "If You're Feeling Sinister," one golden "Dog On Wheels," a very sassy magenta and black "Lazy Line painter Jane," a soft white and grey "369 Seconds of Light," a bricky orange "This is JUst A Modern Rock Song," and a very sexy and soft dusty blue grey "Tigermilk." Yes friends, my records have arrived and it's friday (I'm in love, or might as well be . . .) and I have no great plans for this weekend (except collecting my new easy chairs and rearranging the living room, but that plan dovetails rather nicely into the new one, which is . . .) A BELLE AND SEBASTIAN MARATHON!!!!!! Joy of joys, who would have thought that six records could make such a monumental difference in my day! From the moment I opened the box, I have been floating some three to five inches off the floor, greeting my fellow office drones with a smile and wave, wishing the big headed man in the big office with the big window a good day as I dropped my report on his desk and took a long refreshing look at the california sunshine through his big window before returning to my desk where a message requesting me to submit to a mandatory drug test awaited me. But who cares? My weekend is full of Belle and Sebastian and I can not wait. Which just goes to show you: we humans need something to look forward to. I love you all, including the big headed man in the big office with the big window that lets the california sunshine flood all over his big toothy grin.

i wasn't going to say anything, i have nothing to say, but then i saw that mention of sean lennon and the cibo matto concert. my friends and i were the first in line. we lined up for that concert at two and no one else showed up until four. even cibo matto didn't get there till five. but we met them all, and lj too. it was great. and i gave sean the address to my sean page and he went and signed my guestbook. so now my guestbook has him in it and i feel special or something. jessica if you took any pictures, and perchance have a scanner, would you let me use them on my page? love and stuff alexis -- luminous(a)home.com http://members.xoom.com/languor and the head said that you always were a queer one from the start for careers you say you want to be remembered for your art your obsessions get you known throughout the school for being strange making life-size models of the velvet underground in clay expectations~ belle and sebastian +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

......I'll stop/slow down if its annoying anyone y'know! FANCY A HOLIDAY? DON'T FORGET TO TELL YOUR MILKMAN (AND EMAIL LISTS) I've caught up to Tuesday's digest, having read 39 of my 42 emails waiting with wagging tails in my inbox. I'm not trying to show off or anything, infact let it be a warning to anyone here going on holiday - even if just for 9 days - to cancel subscriptions to such list as this, my favourite gem. THE QUEEN IN MY BRAIN IS TELLING ME SHE'S GETTING DIZZY (BUT IN AN IMPOLITE MANNER!) My screen is flickering.... or is it just my brain telling my eyesight to annoy me until i drink less alcohol? Either way, it is like I'm attempting to act like im having a fit, but using my amateur acting ability to do so! THERE REALLY IS NO POINT TO THIS EMAIL So, i'll attempt to stop it from running on like.....well......like it is doing!(?) There we go! This should come in tomorrow's digest, not todays so i wont look too eager to write to all you ridiculously clever peeps!

Sinister: come together (sorry, no masturbation content and no b&s)
by allen 06 Aug '99

06 Aug '99

last night Someone mentioned the end of the world. (Yes, they did. I checked, so there!) I remember when I was a wee lad, I saw on the news that some cult er, religion, in China had predicted the world would end that evening. Being the naive little boy I was, I believed it (it's on the news, it must be true!). I stayed up all night and couldn't get to sleep at all as I was afraid the world was definitely going to end. I was living in a room in the basement and had a tiny little window without curtains (no, I was NOT a slave or anything like that), so I just stared out the window. And sometimes I would close my eyes in a feeble attempt to get to sleep. But once in a while, I'd hear a loud noise (passing airplane, etc) and I'd quickly open my eyes and check to see if "it" was happening. What a wuss eh? If I had a time machine, I'd probably go back to that night and make a bunch of strange noises outside my window and maybe set off some fireworks just to scare myself. What a bastard I am! wair l. bitch project I haven't seen this yet, but hopefully, after I do, a friend and I will immediately run to the woods in an attempt to SCARE THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF OURSELVES!!! Say, does anybody else think a sinister new year's eve shindig would be smashing? toodles, Allen (ICQ: #35152981) one last thing: anybody else love bob and margaret? what a great show! oh, and pond life was good too. -- "Long afloat on shipless oceans I did all my best to smile Till your singing eyes and fingers Drew me loving to your isle." -- Song to the Siren, Tim Buckley. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: sleeping with boys is the new staying in
by jessica 06 Aug '99

06 Aug '99

not sex, kids, but +ACo-sleeping+ACo-. not that i've done any of either since march, but i'm always right so you had all better start fluffing those pillows. i know there are a few of you (okay, maybe just one person) out there waiting oh so patiently for an email from me - apologies for being so slow, although i'm sure you've all given up and used photoshop to draw evil horns on my sinister listpage photo. but i've been apartment hunting and then getting the lease signed, trying to find cheap home things, working too much and then not enough, going to the cottage for a few days to unwind, returning home, going to work and getting stressed again...i'm going to be so glad when i can quit this godawful job. i fucking hate it - two years of this hell is enough for me. i've had to put on the smiths at top volume to try and calm me down, but i think what i'm really after is something that will encourage my wallowing. which is what's happening. anyways, i'm thinking about all of you and will hopefully have my life sorted out a bit more in the next week. oh, and did i mention that i've slogged through a little over half of the 1200 messages waiting for me after i returned from vacation? i love getting mails, really i do, but not when they're from the subpop list and all they talk about is korn. manymany thanks to those who gave suggestions about first apartment essentials - i've still got to find a bed, but i do have a fabulous retro blender that's gold and an 'electrikbroom' that's baby blue. thank heavens for grandmothers that hang on to things for years - i'm going to have the best retro kitchen in the entire toronto area. with all this talk of smut and masturbation and love, i'm glad my name came up. there's nothing like getting lesliejo exasperated to send me running for my grape scented nailpolish. oy, all these messages with big bold headings, and me in a puddle of lowercase. SHYNESS KEEPS ME SAFE. thought i should try and keep up with these new styles. i've had a crap couple days, so if you'd like to send happy thoughts my way i'd greatly appreciate it. just don't ask questions. goopy fruit punch kisses, jessicaxo if you're so inclined, visit http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Styx/3733 while you're drinking your tea and nibbling on biscuits. pee ess. b content - erm, the loooper show was quite nice, although i think i said that before. but general music content could be boosted by a mention of a photo op with sean lennon before the cibo matto show. cibo matto were really good, luscious jackson were boo-ring. too many roadies can do that, i think. pee pee ess. i'll have to post a photo of the view in my new apartment to the sinister page once i'm moved in. that'll get you all offering up hard cranberry lemonade for a chance to see it for yourselves. +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- someone had spied on us, i suppose, as we sat beside the canal and ate the sandwiches, drinking not even orangeade or coca-cola but hot milk out of a thermos. +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- +ACo- t i n y s t a r +AEA- w o r l d y . c o m (it's lovely being a girl) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: (no subject)
by Walkn10＠aol.com 06 Aug '99

06 Aug '99

I recently bought the new Lilys record and I was amazed at how much Kurt Heasley sings like our very own Stuart M. So suprised was I that I immediately checked to make sure "Kurt Heasley" wasn't an old alias of Struan's, or maybe a twin brother or something. Of course Kurt is 6'6 and looks nothing like Stuart, but thats beside the point. Have you ever seen the Lilys and B&S play the same show? I rest my case. Plus, I read an interview where Kurt says the only band he considers among his peers is Belle and Sebastian. Hmmmm...methinks Stuart will take press wherever he can get it, even if that involves wearing 6 inch stilts and playing retro pop. Devious boy... Seriously, the album is quite good. Some songs seem like TOO many parts are crammed into them (Socs Hip is the best song the Zombies never wrote, dragged out for 7 and a half minutes. Ugh). Betwen them and Jonathan Fire*Eater you have the twin paragons of sassy retro rock (although JFE have tons more sass and much less chops). Kurt really does have a beautiful voice and his melodies are sometimes insanely catchy, but its not all the way there or anything. Stuart could still kick his arse into next week and Kurt could do nothing about it. In fact, I'd almost like to see that happen... 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...and the lasses to "Stevie Trousers Week," because with his universal popularity it would take seven days for the rioting to cease. Just an idea... Someone remarked to me the other day that B&S are "too indie" for him to like. I asked him if he has ever heard Simon and Garfunkel and he said yes, but that they were too "foo-foo" for him. Not sure what to make of that, but I guess some people just have a habit of wearing their arse for a hat... steve c.
