...even though it isn't quite your size hello everyone i am absolutely papping myself about this, i'm fresh out of nappies here and theres just soooo many of you big kids here.....anyway... i'm scott, i'm 23 and i live in essex (county in the south of england with reputation for being very tacky for those that don't know, but it's home) and thats all there is to know really oh except that i'm still trying to put my heart back together after it was smashed into ickle pieces (it's just the old story boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl, boy proposes to girl, boy and girl arrange wedding, boy catches girl shagging her bosses son). Anyway the reason i've managed to find the small bit of courage inside me to post is that i am going to see Whistler at the London Complex in Islington on tuesday 28th and i wondered if any one else was going and would like to meet up with me. If you are going and fancy a couple of beers or something please mail me. Also if anyone's going to see Looper in London in October and wouldn't mind me tagging along i'd be very grateful. sorry no B&S content or any interesting stories but my life just ain't like that. although if anything exciting or embarrasing happens you'll be the first to know. Thanks for listening luv scottie +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: I met her on Monday twas my lucky Bunday
by Paul Rudolph 22 Sep '99

22 Sep '99

Hi everybody, My name is Paul and I'm new to this family, we are a family right? This being one of hundreds of first posts, I realize that it "ain't no big thang" . First things first: I am excited that Blake referred to The Who Sell Out as a masterpiece as it will always be in my top five of all time. And we all know that my top five is the only top five. Audience: "yeah, right Paul". G's post: I agree with G that We Rule the School does steal from Pachebel's tune but I'm confident that Stuart and the gang is quite aware. Didn't Brian Eno use this tune as well? A&F and Townies: As I have grown older, I have developed an attitude where I really don't care or have the time to ponder what somebody wears or whether somebody is from the "town", just surviving life with minimal disappointments keeps me busy enough. Brandt: I'm alive in Pittsburgh, PA. It's not Ohio but it's close enough? I would be enthusiastic about getting together. If you look on the meetups page from the jeepster B&S site, there is a posting by Cliff who lives in Kent, OH and he says he knows many B&S fans. Here in Pittsburgh, I know one - myself. No, I take that back, I Don't Even Know Myself. My bud Dave's wedding a few weeks ago in Warren, OH (Brandt?): It was a grand old time especially when I gave the DJ two B&S cd's and talked him into playing three songs. The bugger wouldn't play the songs I requested and demanded that he choose them himself (even though he had never heard of them). Guess what three songs he played? Nobody really even noticed. Oh well, it was a wedding not a B&S promotion. Sometimes weddings are a good place to meet babes but I didn't meet anybody. Book list: I would like to see Laura's book list All of you have entertained me for a month and I look forward to more good times! Greetings from a sunny and cool Pittsburgh, PA, Paul +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: looper-duper
by **Megan Lehar** 22 Sep '99

22 Sep '99

so last night was all loopery. first we saw mission hill, which is the new tv show on the wb (we wish we were fox). it actually looked pretty good. well, i saw it so the episode i saw was funny, though i am a sucker for the wb. but it was more buffy than dawson's creek. so anyway, in one of the first sequences, burning flies is playing in the background! that speaks well for both the show and looper's publicists. and then we saw the ballad of ray suzuki video on the nyu channel. which for once, wasn't showing dead air. i swear, you'd think that at a school this size, someone would care or smething. so anyway, my sister called me last night from evergreen last night, where she's going to school now, and said that she met one of you there. by that i mean a sinister list person. she was wearing her bwtas t-shirt and someone assaulted her and gave her a noogie. actually, someone was really nice to her. which is good. though i think she still thinks we're all nuts, thogh that's how everyone starts out before the list possesses their soul.... xoxo megan mkl206(a)is8.nyu.edu are we not men? we are magnetic fields. http://www.dissemination.com/megan/magneticfields/ updated 8/5/99 +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: lightning and no rain
by Cynthia Someone 22 Sep '99

22 Sep '99

hello everyone: vietnamese noodle soup, the innocence mission (did anyone follow Jim Schmidt's recommendation and find it as sublime as I did?), a car accident in the rain ... I'm still a happy girl. I'm learning to bellydance and I've no belly (just tummy and it's just not enough) It's been more than a year since I've gotten on the list and I'm none the wiser. last night I was making chat with a girl (who incidentally doesn't like pink. I don't like pink so that's what's called bonding), and amid all our circular wanderings about our insufferable problems I said, "ten years ago I was twelve" and started laughting, because all of a sudden all the problems big as buildings towering over us really seemed silly. Ten years ago I was reading Nancy Drew mysteries and Sweet Valley Highs and wishing for love. Ten years later I'm reading David Foster Wallace and East of Eden. Everything's the same, just there aren't happy endings. Books for "older" people never do. i'm really liking the list a lot lately. It's been awhile since i've corresponded to people on the list. (Hello you people. Christa, did you get my tape?) especially the love rants. to the boy on the bus, you should go and say hello. my buddy robert's been chatting up a girl in a flowershop of late, and that's always the best sort of story, even if there's a bad ending, or even if there's no ending, and the romance is just sort of forgotten before it's really begun. As much romance as possible, if possible, i say. even if it ends in crushing loss. Just to have the ability to be romantic is beautiful, enough to make life worth living.

Sinister: Do mice like knob cheese part VII
by Mr Beaker 22 Sep '99

22 Sep '99

Sorry about that, the affects of dodgy apple juice forced me to press the send button. It's rather spoilt me punchline now. Oh dear...Peter Miller has been reading Terry Southern novels again me thinks. What gets me is he sounds somewhat surprised at the content of these films he watches, even though the adverts display cheerleaders with things up their arses. hairy orchards..mmm. I've heard on the QT that it may well be Madame Oons birthday today (or next week - i've got no f***ing idea really). Happy Birthday Oon - Did you get the elephant repair kit we sent you? Talking of Athletico Bilbao - what the chuffing nora is that on Beckhams top lip ? He looks like something out of Frankie goes to Hollywood. This message lacks structure... EIFFEL TOWER. Must go and watch Arsenal on Teletext. Gulliver. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Re" "Those sychophantic slags all say...
by Mike Lewis 22 Sep '99

22 Sep '99

I can't believe anyone would suggest any other CD before "The Smiths." I think that If one starts out with The Smiths and then buys Louder than Bombs, then start filling in the gaps they would be very happy with their growing affection for the Morriseylicous sound. I was so excited, when I was meandering around B-town looking for an anneversery gift for my boyfreind, I found (Albanian Steel Beds) Boo to the Buisness World for only $25.00 in a little jazz store off the beaten path. I love it. Anyways, weathers great here in Bloomington, love to you all.

Sinister: Meetups A Go-Go
by Jason Andreas 22 Sep '99

22 Sep '99

Well, my plan for a Millennium celebratory picnic type thing seem to have flopped quite dramatically, so let's organise something else. Anyone interested in a meetup in two weeks time, say Sat 2nd October, in Glasgow? We can all meet up in George Square (as I actually know where that is) and just figure out what to do as the moment arises? Get back to me someone, I'm desperate for a sinister precence in my life ;) -- Jason Andreas -- I don't believe in God, I believe in people.

Sinister: Buy this vacuum. - Okay.
by Robyn Fadden 22 Sep '99

22 Sep '99

Does anyone else think Laura Llew should share her giant book list? I'm super curious about it. Maybe Honey can find a place in the library for such a list... That would make my millenium. Maybe it could be added to on-line even. Okay, maybe that's asking a lot, I know you're busy. But just the list then? Please? I'm on my virtual knees. Sharing is good. Grovelling bit over. I saw Godspeed You Black Emperor last night! They were amazing! The place was packed too - sold out. By the end of the show, quite a few jaws had unhinged in awe. Even the guy who kept calling people on his cell phone saying, "yeah, I'm at a concert, maybe we can hook up later, etc." had a moment of silence. I left very happy, in a similar to mood as after last week's Mogwai show. Two great shows in less than 2 weeks - wow. And, yes, yaaay to Kids in the Hall. This show accompanied me throughout my teenage years and on into uni, so I feel obliged to go see Dog Park (though the ads do make it seem very hollywood romantic comedy - I will give Bruce the benefit of the doubt.) Now everyone, do not be afraid, go rent Brain Candy! Another good thing about living in Canada: an hour of Kids in the Hall btwn 7 and 8 on the Comedy Network. Episodes are starting from the first season again! A good reason to learn how to program the vcr. Back to working indoors on possibly the last sunny *and* warm day for a long, long time...
