Sinister: Inebriation's what you need, if you wanna be a picnicker...
by Alasdair Cook MS1996 02 Aug '99

02 Aug '99

SHAKING HANDS WITH THE UNEMPLOYED May I say how much I enjoyed my very first London picnic. I, however, shall not stoop to namedropping as others have done. I enjoyed playing football (and can confirm that the "colours" won) I enjoyed drinking I enjoyed talking I enjoyed dancing I enjoyed hearing the tale of how someone bought a large screen TV set to replace his girlfriend. I enjoyed hearing the tale of how someone's mate (heterosexual male. That's his mate, not him) got off with Danbert Nobacon, believing him to be a girl. I was also told by a Spanish girl that as long as I continue to wear nice clothes I will never have anything to worry about, and by a Canadian girl that I could *HAVE* any girl I wanted if I went to North America as a result of my Scottish accent. Can any listees confirm these facts, especially the second one please. FOUR HOUR MARATHON SESSION The recent Scottish poetry which was posted by Calumn and tjohn reminded me of a great song which we used to be taught to sing at school, so here it is: "YE CANNAE THROW YER PIECES AFF A 20 STOREY FLAT" (To be sung to the tune of "Ye cannae throw yer pieces aff a 20 storey flat") Oh, ye cannae throw yer pieces aff a 20 storey flat, 700 hungry weans 'll testify tae that If it's butter, cheese or jeely, if the breid is plain or pan The odds against it reachin' earth are 99 tae wan. Ooh, I've just thougth of another one: "YE CANNAE SHOVE YER GRANNY AFF A BUS" (To be sung to the tune of...oh, never mind) Oh ye cannae shove yer granny aff a bus Ye cannae shove yer granny aff a bus No ye cannae shove yer granny, cos she's yer mammy's mammy Ye cannae shove yer granny aff a bus. I love Scotland. Don't you? RED RAW An Italian boy wrote: > (which could come in handy should Ally Cook > starting coming over all David Batty *again*)... And I salute him for managing to fit masturbation, football and my name into a single sentence. Well done son. Love, Alasdair xx PS To the man with the beard that isn't really a beard who asked if anyone remembered HQ on Saturday night, I do and it was good. Especially when I attempted to recreate Saturday Night Fever with an English girl. I think. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Re: Sinister: Belle and Sebastian content, plus more
by Jygsaw18＠aol.com 02 Aug '99

HEADINGS ARE FOR PRETENTIOUS SHITS so you'd better bet I'm going to be using them virtually non-stop. By the way, out of boredom, I went to alt.masturbation.net to see what that newsgroup had to say. Oddly enough they wouldn't shut up about Belle and Sebastian. So i never figured out how to "steer the pink rowboat" as they say. Too bad. I had some friends over. We watched/listened to Belle and Sebastian and talked about them for an hour or so. Does that count as content? A NEW ALBUM FROM OUR POPSTERS DId anyone else remember hearing this? something about an album coming out in the fall or something. Perhaps it was an EP. I don't know. MICK COOKE IS HOTTER THAN THE SURFACE OF THE SUN And twice as sexy. with none of the pesky radiation. DId he actually mail the list again, or was it someone else named Mick Meanie? and if so, was he offering his opinon of the Amphetameanies or a review? Read the letter again to see what I mean. I STILL DON"T BELIEVE SISTER DISCO EXISTS THE CULT OF (CENSORED) If only my name was dirtier, i could have lots more people thinking i was a list celebrity and an icon for the youth. Has anyone mentioned that fellow from Dukes of Hazzard? You know, the mechanic named Cooter? * *i think that qualifies as rude Whoever mentioned "ghee", the buttery treat that's not nice to eat. Did you know that it's dumped on bodies at funerals, before they are cremated? I won't draw any comparisions to barbecues or cooking; i'm sure you've already made them in your heads. THE 70's WHO Was there an 80's WHO? I'm sure Keith could tell me. So could Sister Disco, if he were real. THE POGUES ROCK THE WORLD albeit in remarkably drunken fashion. Pah to twee, there's nothing like falling face down in your own vomitus while shrieking "Pogue Mafuckinghone!" Or so I'm told. Please excuse this post on account of the fact that there's two empty bottles of wine in my dustbin and a good bit of it in my stomach. I can barely feel my face. What's tjhe process for getting a good nickname? Trousers should know. Unless his mother named him that. If so, I feel sorry for the poor bastard. I bet he had a hell of a time in school as a boy. dave (moon man) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Top 10 B&S songs not to play at a dance night
by Brian Pennington (Mick McMick) 02 Aug '99

02 Aug '99

Hello Listees, In my neverending search for actual B&S content in this time of musical drought, Mr. Kim and others' portrayals of dancing to B&S songs has inspired me to do a 'Top 10 List'...and no, I'm not advocating a resurgence in them on the list again, I'm just bored. Here we go.... 10.Lord Anthony 9. This Is Just a Modern Rock Song 8. The State I Am In 7. Chickfactor 6. The Rollercoaster Ride 5. Rhoda 4. It Could Have Been a Brilliant Career 3. You Made Me Forget My Dreams 2. Fox in the Snow 1. Beautiful My favorite song to dance to at a britpop night would have to be "Nothing Can Stop Us Now," as played by the maracashakey St. Etienne. Well, must go get back to work now, but do have a look at the page I put up for the Field Mice List if you're thinking of joining: http://field.mice.homepage.com/ It's got nice instructions on how to do so.

Sinister: His Liver Smells of Spam

I've got 10 seconds to tell you all that I'm back from Ireland (have been back for a bit but you wouldn't believe how strict the quarantine laws are these days; if I see a can of Pedigree Chum ever again I'll scream) and that I've done some long overdue updates to the Sinister page where We All Live. Put some new embarrassing photos up, a story by Xavier, some new links, a bit of dusting, that sort of thing. I'm still a bit out of circulation, so if you're waiting for a mail, be kind. Actually you all always are, you precious little bunnies, even the dead hard ones who I'm scared of.

Sinister: not just a boy who plays guitar...

hey-lo, kids! well, i did it! i swore that after my twice-in-a-day posting faux pas last monday (but it was looper inspired! forgive me!) i would not post for a whole week, and i did it! had to sit on my hands, practically, to keep from posting, especially with this lovely thread you have going here... yeah, sitting on my hands... that's what You think... heh heh... anyway... aaaaach! lesleyjo beat me to it! i had actual B&S content! jason from the promise ring wearing an IYFS t-shirt on 120 minutes! and dan picking up a lovely fluffy kitty -- which was really random and incongruous but very funny. anyway, it was a moment of triumph b/c i had made a b&s tape for a friend of mine who had been the one to introduce (musically) the p-ring to me, and he didn't like our scottish heros very much at all... so i just had to email him today and say, "nyah nyah... b&s conquer the world!" okay, enough of that. --- stephen hewitt <hewits(a)gloscat.ac.uk> wrote: > Oh and massive massive props (did we ever find out > what that actually means) ... props = kudos. or something like that. it's a good thing. and very funny to hear (see) UK listees using it! i guess it's compensation or something for when american listees use "whilst." or something. oh, dear, i have discovered the wonders of IRC chat... i poked my head in the other night and was greeted with a round of "hello!"'s. it felt like AA (which it very well may turn into if you londoners don't learn how to drink properly! sprained ankles! sprained wrists! (oh, well, that's another story, eh?) drunk before nightfall??) but everyone was very nice and welcoming, and now that my summer job is over and i've got 2.5 weeks to Sit On My Bum before school starts, i have a feeling that i will be dropping in on #sinister quite a bit... so, i refuse to comment on the masturbation thread, but someone did mention a while back about first kisses, and i'm proud to announce that mine was on my 8th grade class trip to NYC to see les miserables... it was with my catholic school class, and the kiss took place in the back seat of the charter bus, while the priests and teachers who accompanied us say only a few seats away... sadly, i was not wearing my uniform that day :( i gotta give a shout out to mick mcmick, who i ditched on saturday b/c i was feeling very icky, and send kisses to my darling kimmy who i miss already! and ohio-shaped hearts to mandy. oh, and props to michele-with-one-"l" who is the coolest mom on the planet -- it was lovely to meet you at looper... marie slinks off now, having released all the bottled up emotions that have been waiting, turbulent, during an entire week of non-posting... xoxo, marie === ************************************************************** "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: Way to breathe...no-breath
by bkim0＠dept.english.upenn.edu 02 Aug '99

02 Aug '99

First of all, I want to thank my air-conditioner for allowing me to remain so serene in this time of 90-degree weather. The only discomfort I feel is the trip from my bedroom to the car (where the AC also is in full effect). 80 people dead in Chicago...well, at least they've gone to a cooler place. In heaven, the air is central. Secondly, I went to a "Britpop" dance night in Philly this past Saturday w/ ladyfriend Adela. While the venue was nice and big and full of crazy lights, their smoke machine was out of control and the music lagged a lot. I mean two Belle and Sebastian songs were played and they couldn't have picked worse ones to play in a dance night context I think..."Get Me Away" and something else nice and soft and la-la bouncy, not thumping like "Dirty Dream" or even "Boy...Strap" or "Electronic...'Ssance". Come on people!! I don't think any New Order was played...a dance travesty. They did have free _Tigermilk_ posters and postcards though of which I helped myself. Now I can send them to friends and say "Hey, long time no talk! How goes the cancer?...oh by the way, _Tigermilk_ is now out on Matador records. Love Ben X." Thirdly, I'm afraid I've heard just as much if not more about _The Blair Witch Project_ as I did about _Phantom Menace_ before I saw *that*. And _PM_ was a big disappointment. I might as well never see big studio movies again. Pornos are the true independent films...what do you Brits think of _Austin Powers_ though? A warning from this side of the pond, avoid _Runaway Bride_. I can barely watch the commericals anymore save for the stupid grandma "tight butt" joke which I enjoy mimicking as a form of torture. Well I dew!!! Fourthly, whoever said "Slow Graffiti" sounded like "Tennessee Waltz" is right on. Fifthly, man...stop watching _Eastenders_ for a year and you miss everything.:) Oh well, I can't say my decreased Anglophilia has caused a decline in the quality of life. Sixthly, Rapestock could learn a thing or two from Bowlie I'm betting. My vivid imagination evokes horrific, hedonistic scenes of people stepping on others' feet and much accidental brushing and bumping between strangers at the weekender "mosh pits"... Seventhly, a British friend of mine e-mailed me to say she saw Marine Research and thought they were all right but "too British" and reminsicent of Louise Wener! Ha. It's true I guess, MR are a lil' more Britpop than Heavenly but Louise Wener, that's a little low. Eighthly, everytime I hear the beginning of "We Rule The School" I expect to hear "Fox in the snow..." Maybe in twenty years they can do that as a medley in Vegas when they open for Sheena Easton. Maybe on the next album they'll get so self-referential that they'll sing "Well I told you 'bout Lazy Line Painter Jane You know that chick who's hidin' her shame With the lotions she's rubbin' in Reading _The State That I'm In_" (well heck they can afford to mention that darn book one more time don't you think?) Ninthly, I like that new Madonna song a lot actually. Yay, Madonna is tuneful again. Zephyr in the sky keeps on turning. Tenthly I'll stop now and stop hogging server space.

Sinister: b&s in my car
by Kimberly Rehak 02 Aug '99

yo ho ho last evening my mum and i went to see that shabby second austin powers movie because we had nothing else to do and because it was only two dollars. anyway, when we were driving home she asked me "so, kimmy, are you sinister like dr. evil? haha" and i had a quick thought of you lot. ok, i have just one question (sorry if this doesn't make sense): is there some kind of coding or something done to b&s cds (looper too)? because they keep either getting stuck in my car cd playa or they won't go in. i've had the lazy line ep stuck in there since saturday morning. and i'm afraid that i'm rather sick of hearing it. hell, i think i'm going to have to wait a year or so before i even think of playing it again. so is there something done? or is my playa just shit? i think it's that last one. nevertheless...i thought i'd ask. short and sweet, KIMberly xx lifeinpink(a)yahoo.com sorry if this was sent twice! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: The Hymn for Air Conditioning
by Martin Robinson 02 Aug '99

02 Aug '99

Hello all, I think I'm melting. Even my industrial strength fan here at work is blowing warm air down my ear. Which would normally be quite nice as it is a very pretty fan with all its bits in the right places, but whilst in the humid tropics of South West suburban London it clearly isn't on. Apparantly animals aren't allowed to be transported in such conditions as I'll have to face on my trek on the tube to see Hefner tonight. But fortunately I get to listen to some fab pop music at the end of my journey where as said animals end up sliced on someone's plate, so it's not all work, work, work or something. I'm afraid I feel very responsible for Matt's bandanged appendage. I was openly encouraging his footballing antics when he clearly wished to return to his vodka and less energetic lifestyle on Saturday. I can only humbly apologise and say I'll buy you a pint at the Heffers. But if anyone else wants to meet up tonight at the "umm Jazz Café nice" I'll be the one still making wanking gags whilst pointing to Matt's sporting injury. Speaking of football my Anelka-like transfer saga to the Sinsiter team is similarly still up in the air as I think the Stereolab's gallic flair may suit my continental temperament better. By continental temperament I mean having a few too many Kronenbourgs. Plus there are a few too many good players already such as Alisdair "better than Ginola" Cook, Stevie's "ball controlling" Trousers (that sounds a bit like a new Viz cartoon), Jim "the next David James" Taylor, Matt "limp wrist" Powell, Marcus "Pass! Pass!...OK pass out then" Omond and many others, even Mark "Chopper" Casarotto's Batty-esque physical presence is to be admired (though that dry cleaning bill's still on it's way Mark). Anyway, we'll have a Sinister squad for All Tobermory's Panties even teams like Man U* would admire. And potentially with Ailsa's charismatic managerial skills the world is our ummm planet. Must dash before I type even more bollocks, Te ra, Martin ear confection recordings (http://www.send.demon.co.uk) * By "Man U" I obviously mean bunch of arse P.S A big shout of "fridge" to Vince +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Recieving message 2 of 1837654...
by James Thorniley 02 Aug '99

02 Aug '99

Sorry I missed the picnic. I was dragged away up north. I was going to tell you before I went away but I e-mail was playing up (again). This is what I was going to say (to save me typing it out again in the past tense): >...Dearest mother has organised another fun camping trip up north to visit countless relatives. >For the rest of the week I will be taking up post as southern-nancy-with-stupid-accent in >Huddersfield, and I will be missing the picnic on a farm near Newcastle-under-Lyme. Now I'm back in a sea of Sinister posts to wade through <sigh>. I spent the time listening to various music on my walkman. I listened to some B&S (naturally), Blur (don't laugh), Cast, and I also found a Beatles tape in the car. They rock, and give me ideas for my sig file ;-) Since I missed the picnic, I will be sending letter-bombs to anyone who writes in about how great it was. I'll try and be at the next picnic in the south. -- James Thorniley "I don't care too much for money, money can't by me love" --John Lennon +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
