Sinister: and my doctor told me...

so, i have some questions about Belle and Sebastian stuff... 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. 2. on the cover of "this is just a modern rock song" there are the letters "R" "A" & "L" as well as a sicle and hammer... what does it all mean?? there's also something that seems to say, "soul of an unearthly" on the back cover... again, what does it all mean? 3. what is the URL of the listserv crush thing?? i'm highly curious. aside from that... many aspects of "chasing amy" make me sick. to me it seems to be a straight boy's dream. and i really don't have a high opinion of the blair witch project. i don't know if my friend "photo jenny" told you folks what she thought of it, but we have highly differing opinions. as philosophically/intellectually stimulating as it might be, it had NO PLOT and it was BORING and NOT SCARY. that's my two cents. visit my webpage, dammit. --- pax kah http://welcome.to/starsik *********************************** chickclick.com http://www.chickclick.com girl sites that don't fake it. http://www.chickmail.com sign up for your free email. *********************************** +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Enough already! [...] I was intrigued to read, in this week's issue of the metrosexual jazzmag Time Out, an interview between thinking woman's journo-crumpet Peter Paphides and Stu D's old man, Mr Hal David, the feller who use to write all the words for Burt Baccarat. Paphides chances his arm and asks the Alexander Pope of Pop what he thinks of modern lyricists, playing him a "snatch" of "Seeing Other People". Mr David responds:"it's a very original idea, a very youthful idea. But if I have any objection it's to the song itself, which goes on repeating itself. Personally I would have required a tune that was more developed". Well, miaow! Hal goes on to say that Pulp's "Something Changed" is "wonderful". Next week: Jaco Pastorius gives his opinion of Groucho Robertson's bass-playing on "Spaceboy Dream". [...] Mental Mickey Jones mentioned the total eclipse of Bonnie Tyler next week. It did occur to someone at the p*cn*c on Saturday that, had we all be killed by a bolt of lightning on top of Primrose Hill, the media would have thought we were a cult of virgin cardie-wearing interweb creepynutfreaks who had committed mass suicide in the belief that Isobel Campbell was waiting for us in a groovy Barbarella-style spaceship hidden behind the moon and was going to beam us up to safety before the Dark Lord of Terror descends from the skies and the seas turn to Um Bongo next Wednesday. [...] Pamela H said that Baxendale sound like My Life Story. WHAT???? Are you such a desensitized, citified wuss, that you can't respond to things *genuinely * anymore and *emerse * yourself in the sheer *beauty * of *pop music *? What, do you expect lyrics like *Hemingway * or something?? I mean, people should do psychology experiments on you!! What on earth IS pop music to you then? Shed your emotive programming and feel something fresh for a change! Leave your insulation of jade and irony at home, and expose yourself to something NEW! I was a boy scout in Stevenage, you know.

Sinister: Ricky Martin - A Shakin' Stevens for the new millenium
by Stuart Gardiner 04 Aug '99

04 Aug '99

A whole digest devoted to the Blair Witch Project? Since when has this list turned into alt.movies? Look, like anything, some people will like it and some won't. The existence of the film has been brought to our attention, let's just leave it at that shall we? If I see one more message saying "Don't read this if you haven't seen the film", when half the people on this list live in countries where the film doesn't even come out for another month or two, I'm going to do some serious damage to someone. Remember honey's list rules about only posting if it'll interest most people on the list?!? Sorry if this sounds like a flame to anyone in particular, it's not meant to be (although resisting the urge to do so is a struggle); but I know I'm not the only one who wants this thread killing off, and I may as well try and do it myself. Aaaand relax. ______________________________________________________ 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: From the people who gave you Head

Don't worry, I'm not going to swing (if you will) the discussion over to oral sex (not intentionally anyway...though it does seem suspicious don't it?), it's just that I've got Monkees on the brain right now. Here in America on cable E! is showing some bio on them...they were friends with Jack Nicholson you know. William Messent wrote: Getting on his horse and sipping his milk (laced with banana Nesquik) A) Is Nestle Quik commonly referred to as "Nesquik" in the UK? Fascinating. (I'm all about the US-UK language culture clash...which in the UK would probably be known as the UK-US culture clash I realize) b) Why in God's name are you drinking banana flavor Nestle Quick, man?! I find strawberry to be bad enough, but banana...banana is an artificial flavor mankind has yet to present well in foods. Just my opinion though. Once long ago when I was living at home my mom brought home mango-flavored Tang after having only bought orange Tang. Although I've finally gotten back into mango (thanks to delicious mango lahssis) that was a very traumatic experience. Not worth writing a song about, maybe a jingle. The UK music press is all about dubbing people the new so-and-so after the old so-and-so has only been defunct for a few years or are even still going at it after a few years, aren't they. If I had a dime for every "new Smiths" I'd pull a Rupert Murdoch and buy all the UK magazines and force them to write articles about music in rebus. I still think the new B&S is...B&S. Will's right about _Mallrats_ too. Jason Lee is high-larious, the topless cameo from "Teri" of Three's Company is priceless, and the velocity of Superman's sperm is analyzed in great detail. Jes the Asterisk girl wrote: i think.. we should have a great north american picnic.. and we can all get together and party.. may i suggest the jersey shore? :) cos.. i dont think i could go to one anywhere else..

Sinister: Bring Me The Head of Don Revie
by Michael Jones 04 Aug '99

04 Aug '99

Ooh, it's bin ages, giv' us a squeeze ! All England seems to be uproar right now over the approaching Total Eclipse of the Queen Mother. Last time it happened of course, she was plain old Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, working in a laundrette in Upminster, and everyone had to listen on the wireless. This time it's on the telly *and* in the actual overhead sky and should be a rare treat for those with an interest in astroaristocratic hi-jinks. Next Wednesday, shortly before noon, the QM's decaying visage will be occluded by Keith Moon and the rivers will run red with Tizer. I'm sorry. It's the heat. I must say, I'm a bit scared by this Lionel Blair Pickety-Witch Alan Parsons Project thread. At first I thought it was a run-of-the-mill gossipfest, but, about 3 days ago, we were all plunged into the Dark Wood of Extended Gainsaying and, if it goes on much longer, I might have to hide behind my chair. The film itself is only receiving a limited release in the UK. I understand it'll be projected onto a bus shelter in Leamington Spa at 4 in the morning with the soundtrack, dubbed into Urdu, blaring from the dashboard speakers in an Austin Montego illegally parked outside Netto three streets away. Double-bill with "My Favorite Asshole". Lesley-Jo machined-gunned the following words into our hearts: > i can understand now > why men are so intimidated by females sexually, and feel the need (some of > them that is) to objectify. they KNOW that women can sexually kick their > asses from here to Saturn. Ha! To be fair, men do still pound women into the dust when it comes to all-over body hair. Women push men through a plate-glass window and then successfully sue for criminal damage when it comes to functioning ovaries though. And I think it goes almost without saying that men frame women for murder and then win the lottery with respect to the size of the Adam's Apple. Vive la difference physiologique ! A creditable score-draw. Like wild dogs starved of the red meat of Live Pop, Pam, Tim & I rampaged all over north London last night in search of such thrills. We saw The Clientele at Water Rats (King's X) and it was a treat; I was possibly less taken than my compadres with their fluid guitar stylings (Al Stewart lodged in my head early on in their set and I couldn't shift the bugger) - one of whom, in a stream of superlatives, said something to the effect of "the band Galaxie 500 could've been". Someone somewhere has already said "the new B&S" - which is probably misleading, but see them anyway. Later we galloped to the Fitz & Firkin on Great Portland Street for the Smith-Garrett Band's brand of good-time country; I met three chums I haven't seen in a year and went a bit doolally. A fistful of Steady stars for the S-G Band. Enough of this. Mike x. _____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: My best friend's heading...
by William Messent 04 Aug '99

04 Aug '99

Children! Glad to hear you all had a rock 'n roll picnic. Judging from the tales that have been related on this list, you did us all proud. My bosom is swelling as we speak. I was in Sherwood Forest getting my arse kicked on my paintballing stag weekend. Don't ever go paintballing. It really hurts you. And I was sick on the street like some kind of animal during the drinking that night. Err. I shall be driving down to the West Country after work today with my mate Joe, cos he's getting married at the weekend. Wierd. He's my first mate to get hitched, which is really funny but really good too. Bless. I'll see if I can bribe the organist into playing Felt songs as they march down the aisle. I'm fast-forwarding all the Blair-Witchy posts because I'm worried I might learn too much about the story and spoil it. I want to see it though. Oh, and I liked 'Chasing Amy'. Very funny. Not as good as 'Mallrats' though, which for my money is Kevin Smith's best so far. I finally got 'Tigermilk'! Bit good really. I like the one on side two the best which goes 'da-da-da-duuum da-da'. I also like songs off the radio and have been entirely influenced by early 80s janglers The Loft. OK kids, wish me luck as I head west. Yee-haw!

Sinister, discopants mctaggart foolishly commented on my spelling of 'baccara', how can he judge when it was BIG Mr Tiger Timminz himself that spelt it 'baccarat' and he spawned me and still seems to be producing other timminz to this very day. And you cant have a copy of it...can you? Looking forward to meeting all three of the sinistereen that are going to ATP. Will someone please appease me, lie even, just like Rat-taggart. Portugal is the new black. Musically that is.

Sinister: I am a filthy navvy
by Robin Stout 04 Aug '99

04 Aug '99

Hello again London was pretty ace alright but I think such a hectic day requires a period of hibernation so as soon as I got home I dug myself a burrow in which I have been sleeping, covered in bark and beetles, emerging only to drink the dew off the leaves outside and to change my pants. Hello to all the cool folks I talked to - Pam and Amos and Ailsa and oooh I can't remember but there were lots of funky people and you're all a bunch of comedians too. Thanks to Vicky too, whose house we ended up sleeping in, and thanks to The Only Taxi Driver In London for taking us there. Arantxa and I slunk out early and made like a couple of filthy navvies along the road towards Euston. In fact I looked so much like a tramp that I was the only person getting on my train who was actually asked for a ticket. Bastards. Starry Pikachu said: >Anyway - solo sex for him and her? Sleeping with PEOPLE is where its at >these days chaps. I slept with two different Sinister people this week, >and both times were GREAT. I did it with a BOY and a GIRL. But don't >worry LJM - I'm not treading on your dyke territory or anything - perish >the thought eh? Well I did it with a boy and a girl AT THE SAME TIME. So there! The Horrors Of Capitalism ==================== At Sainsbury's, where unfortunately I work, they've spent the week extending all the shelves by TWO INCHES! This is the most pointless thing I have ever seen. It's not as if we can fill the shelves up faster, they'll just be more empty. And all the money they've wasted on shelves could have been spent on shoes for the poor or something. So I'm going to start a staff revolution. We'll meet at half past three outside the grocery department and throw tomatoes at Mr Gaffan's shiny little head. People keep telling me I should go to Bowlie II, and I was going to but last night I had the strangest dream. I dreamt that I was at Bowlie II, although for some reason I was sleeping in a tent, and I was walking across a field when suddenly I started being divebombed by a radio-controlled aeroplane. It was like The Birds. I ran away and the plane kept buzzing around my head and shaving my ears and I ran and ran until I came to a red car. Inside the car was a hippy man who was controlling the plane. I picked up a stone and was going to throw it at him but he was trying to talk to me. The window was closed but I could hear what he was saying. He said he was locked in his car and had been flying the plane at me to attract my attention. So I let him out and then I woke up. Hmmm... I wonder what it could mean. Anyway, the point is I'm a bit scared of going to the Bowlie now in case I get divebombed by hippy-controlled aeroplanes.

Sinister: Miss Honey
by oon 04 Aug '99

04 Aug '99

Hello. i've been sitting quietly in the corner with Ancient Genevieve and thinking pretty things too. one of the pretty things i've been thinking about is a nice little horror film made by belle&sebastian, as cleverly suggested by the young picnicgoer Mr Moore. not just Isobel mind you. with everyone in the band star in it. Mr Murdoch is of course the horrorman. there's a reason we called him Mad Dog in the first place. being a caretaker of the church all the nifty horror equipments are very handy at his disposal. i still can't decide on the plot, but it's ok. i've got a long scene with everyone running around screaming bloody murder with scottish accent all over the streets of bonnie Glasgow one bonnie sunday morning. since i really like my niece, Miss Pair will make an appearance at some point, as a weapon maybe. she try to bite my cheek for three days in a row. not successful thanks to my agileness when it comes to face-defence. should we stop feeding her (is it water) after midnight now? Mr Miller, how could your tv say Thailand is completely flooded. that's such a bad omen! the east is flooded badly yes. really horrible. poor people. Bangkok not yet but rain so much i'm feeling bad. i really wish no flood in Bangkok and it go away from the country very soon. please wish us no flood. if not when i get stuck in the house i might have nothing to do enough to write to the list continuously about all those abject horror of Thai movies you nor i care to see. and now, i'm proud to present you something i've been working on for the last few years. THE mother of all b&s anagram! The anagram of the song Century of Elvis! much to my surprise, the song word can be constructed into Mr David's recommendation for most attention grabbing of coffee books spanning the past two decades. actually a Top Ten perhaps. in chronological order... 1993 american bottom archaeology 1992 how to avoid huge ships 1990 lesbian sadomasochism safety manual 1989 how to shit in the woods: an environmentally sound approach to a lost art 1986 oral sadism and the vegetarian personality 1985 natural bust enlargement with total power: how to increase the other 90 percent of your mind to increase the size of your breasts 1984 big and very big hole drilling 1984 the book of marmalade: its antecedents, its history and its role in the world today 1982 Braces owners manual: a guide to the wearing and care of braces 1980 the joy of chicken 1978 proceedings of the second international workshop on nude mice ............. as if that's not clever enough of me, i've even discovered THE anagram of Paperboat. inspired by their trip to the US as well as Mr Jackson's Chickfactor i reckon... A hamburger is universal. It is warm, fragrant and juicy. It personifies the Great Mother herself, someone who has nourished her from the beginning. Best of all, a hamburger doesn’t take itself too seriously. It embodies that generous sense of humour that persists in america. Every single one has a smile on its face. A hamburger is companionable and fainly erotic, the ‘nipple’ of the Goddess. ......... isn't it great to have our Miss Honey back? both anagram are deciphered in your and Miss Ciara honour :) love, oon xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Keith will vouch for my knowledge of this band because on the night when our eyes first met across a crowded pub quiz, the only question I managed to answer all night was about Baccara. But you can't have it, it's mine and I love it (although I'm sure I can find you a copy). I've also got their Eurovision entry "Parlez-vous Francais?", which is essential listening for anyone who wants to learn enough French to cop off on holiday. Copping off is scientifically proven to be around 50 times better than wanking, and 500 times better than talking about wanking to 1000 complete strangers whilst under the delusion you're somehow pushing back the boundaries of sexual liberation. Last night, I watched "Heavenly Creatures" again, starring Fluffy Sarah and the future Miss Roderick Begbie, and it was still good. I also played that Lolita Storm single I've heard so much about in the evil music press, and I still can't decide if it's the perfect hybrid of the Shangri-las and Digital Hardcore or a right bloody racket. No such quandries with the Best Of Divine, which I bought ages ago and have only just got around to playing all the way through. No disrespect to Belle and Sebastian, but the lyrics to "Kick your butt" ("Whose butt you gonna kick? I'm gonna kick your butt. I don't think you can kick my butt. I know I can kick your butt") have inspired me far more than "Fox in the snow" ever will. What are "dyke skeels" and why is Sarah jealous of Leslie-Jo's? Is it something that EVIL MEN wouldn't know about because they're SEXUALLY TERRIFIED BY THE POWER OF TWEEDYKES? Thought as much.
