yo yo. This is a shout-out to all my b&s homies. I am a new sinister-type. Just a quick question. I am the only black guy into b and s? I don't know anyone else who is black and down with belle and sebastien. Not that it means anything. Because it don't mean a thang, if you ain't feeling sinister. More importantly, this is some props to the boy checking the girl on the bus. Don't think twice, go find the girl at the grocery store, and get her digits. It'll be aiight. On the Bob Dylan tip, let me just say to the guy disrespecting Bob, there is no point in dissin him. There is no justification. Don't be playa hatin'. To the guy looking to buy a new disc, seems to me that if he's on a B&S list, he should really be buying the B&S selection. On the B&S tip, am I stating the obvious by suggesting the tune WE RULE THE SCHOOL is a great tune that blatantly steals from the classical tune Pacabel Cannon (spelling?). I could be dreaming, though. Peace to all the good people. the original G. You broke my heart and you made me cry. You said that I couldn't dance. And now I'm back to let you know that I can really make romance. - Lou Reed ----------------------------------------------- FREE!

Sinister: Keep on rocking in the twee world!
by Alasdair Cook MS1996 22 Sep '99

22 Sep '99

A WARNING *On a scale of 1-10 in terms of being really wanky and going on about what a fantastic time I had in London while pissing off everyone who isn't me basically, this post is an approximate 16. I'm giving you the chance to delete now.* --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When is the Robin Hood centre going to be changed to the Robin Stout centre? The latter is a much more important historical figure. In my bedroom, at least. Hmm, I have a strange feeling. Why, yes, I do believe I'm sober. Although it may not seem that way. Bloody hell's arses, what a completely awful weekend. Not really of course, the power of suggestion and all that; it was cocking (cock, Nick) well amazing in the most amazing sense of the word. I think I actually had a better time than I would have had if I'd actually gone to ATP and I saved 100 squid into the bargain. From London zoo. They're in my bath right now. Anyway, on to business: Archel put dainty hands to keyboard and the following was the result: > imagine, > all squeezed up in print next to alisdair and ailsa. makes me tingle just > thinking about it. And bizarrely enough she almost got her chance on Saturday night/Sunday morning (and not just in print, neither), and would have done if bloody "Wowser" Trousers hadn't been so quick into that bed and got himself a double A side, if you know what I mean. Meat in the sandwich indeed. He also woke up with some rather strange stains on his shirt which could not be explained away by anyone present. Someone wasn't telling the truth. I reckon it was Dastoor, but don't tell him. Of course the stains could have been obtained on Saturday night at the worst party ever. In fact it was so bad it was all we could do to steal a mirrorball and run away. If anyone wants to see it it's up in Trousers' kitchen. Earlier in the night was tigerbashing, which went well although ingesting as much fizzy pop as I did has led to some memory blocks, and questions need to be answered. For example: Whose hand was that I was holding? How many people did I invite to Glasgow? How can a chip shop run out of chips? Exactly how naked did I get? How big is Stuart's winky, and why didn't Owen look? Why does finding an empty shopping trolley in the street and then pushing each other along in it seem like the most normal thing in the world when you're pissed? Did anyone say they'd shag me? Didn't think so. I do remember though that people asked if 2 different ladies were my girlfriends, which considering the girls involved was very complimentary to me and much less so to them. But they weren't. At the picnic earlier we played football for exactly 19 minutes according to someone before the rains came and all the soft English ponces present ran away. It was only a bit of water! However, good old Touche Turtle scored 2 excellent goals to win us the day, and I got grass stains. Luckily the Playforth chocolate finger and flump supply kept me going. On Friday we discovered that the best B&S song to dance to is officially Le Pastie..., and that you just can't dance to Hometown Unicorn. And I almost got very annoyed (a rare event, unless someone says Star Wars is great) at a barmaid who didn't give me any change from a tenner after I'd purchased 4 drinks. It took me ten minutes to find out that this was actually the cost of the drinks, which was mildly embarassing, and almost made me miss dancing to Vapour Trail. The night before I was almost carted to hospital in shock after witnessing the POP sensation for the next century that is Baxendale. I thought the Clientele were OK, but since hearing them on record they have now become bloody great. And apparently Baxendale's records are shite. So it goes. It was incredibley lovely to meet people for the first time including Rachel, Jan, Claire, Nic, Craig, Paula, Dan, Dr Sean, Natasha (officially the best girlfriend in the world), Weejay and Josh from Holiday. I also got to tell Ian SarahCracknellKidnapper that he's a genius, which he seemed slightly bemused by. Unfortunately I managed to miss Juicy Lucy, Spanners and some others, although I may have met them and just have been too pissed to remember. Which is probably the case. Anyway, apologies for being quite hideously drunk almost permanently, and thanks to everyone, but especially huge thanks to Sez, Tim, Stevie and Nick for putting me up and for putting up with me, and to Joe Brooker for being a genius and still humouring me by playing REM songs for me to (very badly) sing. The Foxgloves rule. English goats are great. That's all. Love, Alasdair xx PS You haven't lived until you've tasted Pam Berry's banana bread. And all she got in return was a silly badge. Good deal, I thought. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Dog Park!
by Brandt Fundak 22 Sep '99

22 Sep '99

I was excited to see that former Kids in the Hall member Bruce McCulloch's first feature film _Dog Park_ will be in theaters on friday. It has actually existed for 2 years, but is finally seeing release this week. I just thought I'd share. I have to say that ever since I moved home I had been listening to nothing but Belle and Sebastian, but the new Magnetic Fields discs have managed to knock all of my B & S discs out of my cd player. Still looking for the Ohio sinisterites. Talk to me. Gotta work.

Sinister: tangent related: clyde filter z
by Steve Kado 22 Sep '99

22 Sep '99

oh dear, i feel bad. HEADINGS ARE ALL THE RAGE IN: LONDON, PARIS, MUNICH, SINGAPORE AND TORONTO! my, now platonic but former girlfriend came by and we were delighting in being amost unbearably savage to eachother. We even made up a 'savage' gesture so that there could be no ambiguity about when someone was being savage and when they weren;t. But oh me, how low and terrible i feel now. I was even playing the smiths earlier before tabla class picked me up, which goes to show just how low i really was. I thought i'd gotten all my smiths out of my system earlier this year and that i would never be that sad again. I SKIPPED LINGUISTICS it's dull, and my teacher reminds me of Emo Phillips. THERE IS SINISTER BUSINESS AT THE REFERENCE LIBRARY. The MetroRef Library just switched their cataloguing system from an older, more elegant, text-based cataloguing system to a bright, sunny, insulting windows based one. The librarian at the help desk and i consoled eachother, and she told me that i was a very sharp boy. In the old system, when you put in a stacks request on the computer you got to pur in any name you wanted. This created much juvenile mirth as you could get books ordered up for anyone: L. Wittgenstein, bobo the wonder dog, I.M.A. Penis etc. the fun was unending let me assure you. The new system is all secure and fake seeming. they make you enter your library card number so that they can no doubt keep track of who reads what so that no one is caught getting too many smutty art books or something. So feeling glum about the new library system i went over to pick up my books from the stacks shelf under my last initial. and when i went to look at the little form that was stuck in the book to see how much information was divulged by the computer from my library card to the stacks person it said: Patron: K thats it, Patron:K which pulled a wire out of my brain, because suddenly it wasn't me who had ordered the book but some hard done by fictional character created by franz kafka. i felt that when i awoke the next morning i would find two strange men in my appartment who would keep me from having breakfast until they'd interrogated me. "...does frau grubach know you;re here? Where;s my breakfast?" K (if you will not be able to survive without belle and sebastian content then kafka's 'the trial' appears on the cover of IYFS in the background. so there!) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: its a fruitbread substitute
by Honey 22 Sep '99

22 Sep '99

Go on, own up, who was it? http://beseen4.looksmart.com/boardroom/p/16121/View?n=00480 That's mean! I think I see a cheeky grin at the back of the Sinister classroom and I'm swishing my cane in a schoolmaam manner so you'd better watch out. Oooo wicked. "Before the accident" indeed. "In other news": there are three (THREE) rather fine new stories in Miss Honey Librarian's Library at: http://www.majordomo.net/sinister/library and she's rather pleased. She's very sorry for taking so long to put them on the shelves too. She's having an extra nip of gin in her afternoon tea today in celebration. Finally there's some more photos up on the people page. Still wrestling to the death with some in different formats - if you send them please send me JPGs. And cuddly toys.

Sinister: Ra Ra Ra, we're going to bash the oinks
by mctag＠bigfoot.com 22 Sep '99

22 Sep '99

Hello, I'm glad all you Cockerrnee sparrers had a marvellous time at the AltTP shenanigans. Love unlimited goes to my fellow band member Joss for ruling above and beyond the call of duty. Go for the cannibal chic, Joss. It worked for Lolly. Russsss asked us to choose between the following: >1 an album of SnowPony >2 Six the second album of Mansun >3 a double cd box named live night watch of King >Crimson 1973 >4 Park Life >5 the boy with the ..Belle and Sebastian >6 In the Flat fields of Bauhaus >7 strangeways of The Smiths It goes without saying that Tim will vote for King Crimson whereas the Duke for will put his X in the Bauhaus box. Funnier still was the Narrow Wizard's rant about sex-mad women. I dare say that the more cynical of you will regard it as a rather misogynistic attempt to boast about his sexual magnetism, but not me. I think this evidently sensitive soul needs our help and propose that Roolz should do a charity record to help forlorn cases such as his. We'll call it Wiz Aid, and I urge all of you to buy it and support him and the many other hapless prisoners of their own handsomeness, whose lives are made a misery by parasitic nymphomaniacs the world over. Townies. Haven't heard that in a while. The kids from the public school up the road used to use it to describe us commoners from the comprehensive, because we all had lice. Funnily enough, some of the bad children at my school referred to them "stuck up, overprivileged wankers" in return, although I would never stoop to such name-calling. Obviously.

Sinister: Osculating Organisms
by Alan Singfield 22 Sep '99

22 Sep '99

DOWNSTAIRS @ THE PONCYBAR Dancin' and a shakin', dancin' and a lovin' wearing next to nothing 'cause its hot as an oven! Hello to everyone I met, and all those people who I since discovered were there but didn't say hi to because I didn't know who you were. We need name badges with our emails on - but that would be intensely sad! ELECT ERICA Erica, sorry to hear you lost the vote. Isn't there a film just out with the slogan "Tracy Flick for President", where the <original_meaning>sinister Tracy Flick seduces and ruins the life of her teacher? Obviously you're sinister in our sense so it wasn't to be. MY BUTTOCKS Thank you, Lucy, for giving my buttocks such a favourable review. I'm sorry to say that I clenched. I suppose this is the male equivalent of wearing a push-up bra. Century of Fakers indeed. THE SMITHS My personal favourite is "Rank", the live album. Especially because its got a version of Rusholme Ruffians which breaks into His Latest Flame. The Morrissey of 1985 rocks! IF YOU PLAY WITH A DRAWING PIN YOU MIGHT PRICK YOURSELF Ow. I wish I hadn't done that. Tune in at the same time next week for more drivel, daddy-o!

Robin, Robin, Robin... Where did you develop such a bitter attitude to Preston and its towns' folk? Yes there may be a few donkeys but Preston has so much to offer. It's the administrative centre of Lancashire you know?! Even the town's symbol, THE MIGHTY LAMB!, strikes respect into the hearts of even the most disrespectful. There's also, erm, well there's, you know and mmmm.....Alright, you win. I'll get my coat. Bye Bye Leaky ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: My Brush With The Law
by William Messent 22 Sep '99

22 Sep '99

Ay up everybody, TIGERMILKING Well I wasn't there. And contrary to Arantxa's suggestion, nor was I larging it in Tuscany or the Riviera. I was on a 4 day jaunt to Nottingham (the so-called Robin Hood County, which seems to be getting more and more exposure on this list. It's the new Camden Town Tube Station). RAW LIKE TIMBERLAND WEAR (YEAH) Ace weekend though. My personal highlight was going to a party with my policeman friend. It was going well, people were chatting and drinking and having fun, when this lad started to skin up right opposite my mate. And my mate asked him to put it away until he left. This lad tutted and rolled his eyes, so my friend explained quite calmly that if he didn't put it away he would be arrested. And the entire room (bar my friend and I) promptly got up and left. I pissed myself laughing for about 20 minutes, then we thought we'd better leave. So we went to the pub and played darts. I kicked his arse. The perils of being a copper I suppose (the unpopularity, not the darts). LIKE A TERRORIST HARD TO CAPTURE It *was* funny though. And I was proud of him really, even if he did effectively make us both social lepers. What a guy. RAW LIKE COCAINE STRAIGHT FROM BOLIVIA I went on one of those funny outward-bound team-building days in Kent last week. It was chronic. I'm not into this outdoorsy stuff, especially when these courses always seem to be run by ex-army mentalists who can't get jobs teaching PE. Put me inside, put the telly on, give me a vodka & tonic. There, I'm happy. MY HIP-HOP WILL ROCK AND SHOCK THE NATION I'll tell you what; University Challenge my arse. Well it's OK really, but there is a big 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire'-shaped hole in my life. Popkids, I saw each and every show (I reckon) and if C.T. (as I beleive Mr Tarrant likes to be known) presented University Challenge and the kids could win a million quid I'd be more likely to watch it. LIKE THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION Sorry, I've said too much. I'd better go. To all the Sinister Kids starting uni this week; have a wicked time, and save the last dance for me. And remember; It's only easy if you know the answer.
