Sinister: Why I really hate two day hangovers
by stephen hewitt 02 Aug '99

02 Aug '99

Oh god, I still feel like poo. Not quite as bad as when I came back from Bowlie when I thought I was going to ACTUALLY DIE FROM BOOZE (I was getting pins and needles in my arms and had a really nasty pain in the middle of my chest) but hardly a walk in the park. Ah parks, where one may find picnics and football and lots and lots of BOOZE. Hello to everyone who was up Primrose Hill on Saturday and sincere apologies for anything I may have said or done at any point. If anybody else remembers anything about the HQ Club can they tell me cos it's all a bit blank. IMHO I think that "we all know you're soft cos we've all seen you dancing, we all know you're hard cos we've all seen you drinking from noon until noon again" should be the official motto of the Sinister list, especially the second bit :) Oh and for the record, the "not white tops" team won the football. I think it was 8-6 but please don't quote me on that. Oh and massive massive props (did we ever find out what that actually means) to the delightful Miss Vicky for letting me stay at her house, as without somewhere to stay I would have saved about forty quid and not felt quite so icky now :) The equally delightful Miss Erica just said: >I heard theres lots of me with >beards in Ostria, which terrifies me. Beards scare me, although my faith >has been restored in the beard somewhat by Carsmile Steve which made me laugh, thinking of lots of Erica-clones with beards (and by the way, this is just over-grown, lazy gett stubble, not really a beard) roaming Ostria. Right I'm off to squeeze out what remains of my liver and try and catch up on my sleep (despite being at work for another hour and a half) xoxo CarsmileSteve +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: You won't be able to dance to this, you know
by Graham MacArthur 02 Aug '99

02 Aug '99

Dear List, Something coming scarily close to Belle and Sebastian content: While I was away, I didn't mention that we played TBWTAS at maximum volume at four o'clock in the morning, to no complaints. I think I've got some new recruits, too. We danced on the veranda, without a care in the world. I didn't think you could dance to belle and sebastian, infact I warned them, "You won't be able to dance to this, you know", but we did. That's Gin for you. When I was walking through a completely deserted Bengeo at just past One in the morning after coming back from saturday night's shannigans, Sparkle by MLS came on my walkman and I danced then too. Now, I'm off to Ostria for a week on wednesday, I'd send you all a nice comedy postcard but I'd have to start up some kind of production line to get them out to each and every one of you. I heard theres lots of me with beards in Ostria, which terrifies me. Beards scare me, although my faith has been restored in the beard somewhat by Carsmile Steve, who I met at this saturday's picnic in bizzare fashion (a hasty retreat back to the pub with a certain someone who is terrified of lightning, only to both realise we have forgotten to bring any money - "OH look! it's Carsmile steve walking along the street!"). Shall I name drop a little more? It was lovely to meet Pamela h and donna the northern princess, and wonderful to see someone passed out before the sun had gone down, Marcus. Not to mention lots of other nice people I wouldn't want to feel left out, but won't mention anyway. This week I will be mostly reading 'The Way Of All Flesh' by Samuel Butler and 'The Rebel' by Albert Camus, whose name I now know how to say ("No, dear. Not cay-mus, Cam-oo"). Back in time for tigermilking... and you can be sure I will be thinking of you, Erica x +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: I can hear the heart beating as one...
by K-V Anfinsen 02 Aug '99

02 Aug '99

Hello all, this is my first post. My name is Vegard (23) but you can call me K-V....a slacker and a student at the University of Oslo, Norway. I've just been on the list for about 8 weeks. Long enough to discover this is a special one. We've finally got some nice weather here in the south of Norway, so that makes it even more difficult to keep up with the daily sinister lurking. Im trying not to spend warm summerdays indoors. That would spoil my chances for...: 1. ...seeing other people 2. ...having sex 3. ...enjoying the last two weeks of my summer vacation 4. ...sitting out in the garden listening to 3..6..9 on my little boom box. 5. ...taking a run at the sun (daylight and sunshine is good for your mental health) LOVE A well-known philosopher in Norway, Arne Naess, said you should wait (in a relationship) at least 10 years before saying the magic words 'I love you'. Now thats something to think about..especially for those of you who use these words every other second. MASTURBATION Go rent the movie Chasing Amy. DEEPER INTO MOVIES A song by Yo La Tengo. Its 05.33 in the morning and I still havent gone to bed. But, today I have been seeing other people, fucked, enjoyed 3..6..9 in the garden, read all the sinister digests. K-V, tired and sleepy. _____________________________ "...we are spying on the spies, they are just jealous." - portastatic http://surf.to/k-v +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: the pinkest t-shirt small town beatings would allow for
by Marcus Omond 02 Aug '99

02 Aug '99

hello all you lovely, lovely people, i like alix's (1) name-dropping game, so i'll see how i do. DOES ANYONE ELSE GET TURNED ON BY WASHING UP? because i do. and that probably makes me a sick pervert. oh well. oh, and i can let everyone know why boys don't talk about wanking other than 'hur-hur' laughing type talking. once when i was smoking some bongs with the cool set in winchester, someone who played for the first eleven football and cricket, and was therefore VERY cool, got rather stoned, and when the subject of wanking came up he said 'yeah... the best bit is when you stick two fingers up your bum, just as you're cumming'. a shocked silence followed - could a school idol be A GAY HOMOSEXUAL FAGGOT? he went rather red after he realised that anal exploration wasn't what most red-blooded school boys did... NICK DASTOOR (2) MAKES ME HORNY except i don't like his handwriting, because it's just like someone i went out a while back with's. so when i got a tape from him this morning i thought 'oh shit, what does she want now?' but instead i got some sweet songs. nick, baby, you're a star. GEOFF (3) IS SSSOOO FUCKING GORGEOUS the highlight of the picnic must have been the sight of the lovely, heavenly geoff coming over the crest of the hill wearing a pale pink t-shirt with 'VOGUE' scrawled across it. the delightful arantxa (4) had just been asking me about the living legend, and he turned up, spirit bottle in hand as ever. ooh, every time i think about his golden locks i sink off into reverie... and he's also a lovely chap - once i established that i was WAY to drunk to get to the pub he walked me to the bus stop and made sure i got on the right bus. hope you enjoy your tape, darling. I STOLE MATT'S (4) DRINK TO CHARM THE LASSIES alix already mentioned my demon tom cruise-esque skills with the spirits. but she neglected to mention that the drink that she, heavenly-even-when-not-blurred erica (5), donna (6) (and maybe pamela 'boozegirl' hutchinson (7) - the old memory's not working too well...)and i enjoyed so much was all supplied by drunken wrist-damaged matt. after smoking all his drugs i took his vanilla vodka and lemonade, and mixed them together (about half vodka, half lemonade) and passed the drinks around, hoping that someone would join me in passing out. no-one did though... i think erica was charmed, though, so that's ok ;) WHEN I WAS TEN AN OLD SCOTSMAN CALLED ME A LASS and that's before i came out at all, so i was in a bad mood about it. all my fault for having long hair, i suppose. I APOLOGISE TO MY FOOTBALL TEAM FOR BEING SHITE i was too busy telling kevan (8) he was one of my legions of list-crushes, and then chasing him when he ran away with a panic-stricken grimace on his face ;) and i lay claim to being the first one to make an immature joke about matt's wrist - 'no joy for you tonight then, darling,' is what i think i said. ho ho. the gags just keep on coming. AND I APOLOGISE TO EVERYONE ELSE FOR PASSING OUT if anyone was offended by my subtle demonstration of the art of passing out from too little food plus too much drink and dope, please forgive me. and if i passed out on top of you, even more profuse apologies - i can't really remember. i can remember that stuart g (9) had the same socks as me, though. oh, and i apologise to everyone who called out requests when i was playing strousers' (10) guitar for only knowing b&s songs. and for singing like utter shite. RIDING ON CITY BUSES london transport sucks. i just had to wait an hour for a bus after doing some gardening. and then there were three... wendy cope was right - well, on the bus front. anyway, once on the bus we got stuck behind some bin men, and it was swealtering hot and sticky, and people were rather pissed off, and one charming lady decided to philosophise out loud. i WISH i'd had a dictaphone - i really couldn't believe this (bear in mind i live in a supposedly trendy and liberal part of london). anyway, here's as much as i can remember of her monologue: 'all them fuckin' blacks and packies - that's who i blame. cloggin' up the streets, takin' all the jobs what is meant to be for proper english people. that's why all the fuckin' buses is shit. it's them blacks, innit? can't drive proper. [the driver happened to be black] and them packies, with their stupid clothes - takes 'em half a bleedin' hour to get on and off the bus. would've been home by now if it weren't for them. fuckin' packies. when in rome, do what the romans does. that's what i say.' well, it takes all sorts, doesn't it? BELLE AND SEBASTIAN LIVE, SUPPORTED BY MOGWAI i had a dream last night, and i dreamed that i was in the union chapel with natasha (11), mark c (12), miss vicky (13) and neill (14), and we'd gone to see b&s. it was really empty, and mogwai were opening. unfortunately i only remembered the mogwai set when i woke up (punk rock, cody, with portfolio, mogwai fear satan), but i remember going up to isobel and inviting her to come to visit me in prague. then i saw stuart murdoch in the corner hiding behind the newspaper he was reading, so i went over to invite him as well, but he turned into david kitchen (15). i wasn't expecting this, and so i woke up. any freudians around? am i gay? is stuart murdoch gay? etc. anyway, it was a lovely dream. anyway, that's all for now. hugs to all and kisses to my list-crushes (and, of course, snogs to geoff), love Marcus XXX ______________________________________________________ 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".

None
by Matt Powell 02 Aug '99

Hello Following on the recent thread on the until recently quite taboo subject of masturbation, I thought i'd share this with you. At the picnic on Saturday during the football, i fell over and spained my wrist. I'm not the most balanced and coordinated at the best of times, and after my fair share of vodka, i lose even that. In order to try to stop the bloody thing hurting I bandaged it up (alright, my mum bandaged it up), and when you have a bandaged wrist, there is only one joke people make about it. I have currently suffered about thirty jokes about my supposed over excitement over the weekend in the first three hours of work. As you can tell, I work with some terribly witty people. Ah, what am I talking about, I would have been making the exact same jokes had someone else been in my position. Hello to everyone I saw on Saturday, and sorry for being such a drunken miserable git, but twas one of those days I'm afraid. take care everyone and i'll see some of you tonight at the Hefner gig I suppose. cheerio matt xx PS Who won the football in the end by the way? ______________________________________________________ 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: FRIGGING
by Tony 02 Aug '99

02 Aug '99

FRIGGING I have since my teenage years always been under the impression that this was the common euphemism for female masturbation. A friend of mine recently purchased a nice new blueberry iMac. Amoungst the preinstalled software was a collection of interactive educational games called 'Sammy' which had my friend totally enraptured. Her mother called and asked her how she was, and what she'd been doing. 'Oh I've been playing with Sammy' she replied. 'Oh whats Sammy ?' said her mother 'Is that the name of your clitoris ?'. Therefore if there are no objections I'd like to nominate 'Playing with Sammy' as its replacement. KATHRYN WILLIAMS Newcastle singer-songwriter who's recent album had the critics reaching for the superlatives, at least according to the Guardian, including comparisons to B&S and Nick Drake. Shes playing on Oct 13th at the Spitz support come from Ant 'Hefner' Harding. NICK DRAKE I'm horrified to see the tribute night someone asked about has roped in Nigel Kennedy, Paul Weller and Eddi Reader. The inclusion of Ben and Jason however provide hope that its not going to be a total turkey. The night is to mark the anniversary of the release of his debut album 'Five Leaves Left'. The tribute night held earlier this year celebrated his birthday. Hmmm.

Sinister: If it don't fit don't force it.
by Newth, Tom 02 Aug '99

02 Aug '99

Hi everybody! I had a very scary dream last night. I can't quite remember what was happening but there were a bunch of us, some og whom were my friends, some of whom were random dream people, hanging by a big lake, and a thunderstorm came on. I watchwed the lightning kind of sheet behind the cloads, and then there was a god almighty huge thunder crack and lightning flash and a fuckoff big fireball hit a house. I jumped straight into the lake but one of the other people was fried to a crisp and another one had her legs cut off (it was a dream, OK?). But the noise was so loud it woke me up. That's never happened before. And I couldn't go back to sleep again because it was rather unsettling to have mass carnage in my dream. This may have had something to do with picnicing in Golders Hill park on *the hottest day of the year* and being absolutely drenched by an unheralded opening of the heavens. Well, not quite unheralded since my girlfriend kept saying it was thundering and we kept saying, No no it's just an aeroplane. But the Sanyo portable and the records were saved and we broke into the bandstand and sang London's Burning as a round (er.. not the Clash song). I hope the Sinister picnic had more luck. There was no music playing when I first kissed someone, though subsequently it tended to be Yerself Is Steam quite a lot. And I once had sex. Oh, I mean I once had sex to Marquee Moon and managed to orchestrate the climax right at the end of Tom Verlaine's solo. Trust me, it's worth the effort. And trickier than solo Television sex. What songs do other Sinisterines like to come at the end of? I'm struggling with B&S content here - they should play a gig or release something so I have something legitimate to burble about. There's a 27 year old bloke at work who swears blind he's never masturbated. I don't think this can be possible. At least he won't Go blind (ha ha). Is this the subtext of Beautiful? He also calls himself Captain Nemo and claims he could perform cunnilingus for England. But he hasn't had a shag for over a year so I guess the joke's on him... I had a girlfriend once who used Vix vapour rub. I wouldn't recommend this to the boys. 10 o'clock on monday morning and not a jot of work accomplished! Huzzah!

Sinister: the cyber-vocal stylings of Gasgano421
by Gasgano421＠aol.com 02 Aug '99

02 Aug '99

Greetings Sinisterites, I have just been granted the fabulous privolege of a voice on the list so I plan to take full advantage of it. :) First off...a little bit about me: My name is Alex(ander). I like things like art, films, music, and boys (yes, I play for the pink team but lemme tell ya, I don't score many points at all:) I live in Hales Corners, WI which is a nausiating suburb of Milwaukee. I'm listening to "Head Music" by Suede. Yes, the album no one likes. Heather and I just returned from seeing the ever so over-hyped, Blair Witch Project. As of right now, I have mixed feelings about it. I will be honest though and tell you all that at this very moment, I'm pretty creeped out. The plot and legend were EXTREMELY under developed. I highly recommend going to the website (www.balirwitch.com) before seeing it and reading some of the legend and background stuff. It'll clue you in a little more. I don't wanna go to much into it though because of people who may want to see it and havn't yet. I guess for the most part, I was disapointed. I think it got wayyyyyyyyy to much hype and was made to seem much scarier that it really is. I guess I'll leave this topic by saying that the end is the creepiest thing I've ever seen. Today, I bought a shiney silver umbrella. It's the greatest, simpley because it's an umbrella and it's shiney silver! I like both silver and umbrellas so this is a wonderful find. Well...it's late and I'm making you all hate me due ot my 2:22 am rambling after being pretty darn scared so I guess I'll stop now. Oh! Wait! B&S content. um...I like Belle and Sebastian. They're a nice group of wholesome youngsters :) Goodnight. A Boy Can Dream, -alex. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: tony blair witch um...project?
by Heatrexo＠aol.com 02 Aug '99

02 Aug '99

Hi Lovelies, I don't think my last post worked..it was about catholic school sex education..so it was quite boring.. and now i'm back for another slinging of boredom.. I saw the Blair Witch Project! I saw it with fellow listee and best friend on the planet..Alex.(who just got his voice:-) I'm afraid of everything..everything!! alas, i was not afraid during the film. I thought the whole idea/reason behind what was happening to them was under developed.. The part i was truely afraid was when anyone screamed "Heather" like they were really scared. probably cos I'm Heather. The Heather in BWP just annoyed me.. She was so into this "film" she was doing but she didn't do any research in to this type of stuff. like the symbolism of everything.. I have to admit if i look back now it was very creepy, after i put everything together.. during the movie i was laughing and whispering to Alex. I am kind of shaken now.. I did see a good musical yesterday..I saw "A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to the Forum" which i highly recommend.. For B&S content,....I work at a nursery and when babies cry i sing sweet belle and sebastian songs..they get happier, I get considerably happy Also this girl at the bank told me her boyfriend is a big fan...(i thought to myself- 'then why is he dating you?' bad heather!) she also told me that i'm "so funny" because everything she sees me at the bank wearing a band t-shirt it's a band her boyfriend likes.. I was happy today!!!! (sorry for rambling..but i must tell) Me and Alex were going to the movie but the 9:20 was sold out so we got tickets for the 11:30...alas we had nothing to do..so we went to this 24 diner.. he ordered coffee, i ordered hot chocolate.. i only smoke when i'm extremely,extremely depressed... but tonight i smoked anyways.. he got up to go to the bathroom.. and i was sitting there.. as ramdom prep-jocks filed in to the booth by us... I usually look down and not make eye contact with anyone.. but tonight i didn't stare (too much) at the placemat and I drank my hot chocolate with pride cos i knew Alex was going to come back and we were going to talk about something and i was going to laugh and smile.. and it felt good. also, i think everyone is better than me... but tonight, i realized that the prep-jocks over there are nothing like me..at all.and it made me selfishly happy. same thing happened waiting in line at the movie. there were these girls who were way more contempo than non-contempo me.. and i was happy that i wasn't them cos i was happier on the floor playing the name actors game with complete strangers.. sorry this is soo long. I'm just in a good mood. Holding on, Heatherxoxo +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
