Sinister: 25 channels of white noise evil buzzing in my head
by Timothy John Roberts 15 Sep '99

i think i should start to speak again before i become obsolete with all these new people about, also this may be my last chance to adress you all before hibernation beckons, with winter and S A D approaching over the horizon. i couldnt depart without mentioning theshoebygordonlegge and trying to slip a reference to BATFINK into every concievable thread of conversation. just the same as all my other posts basically. actually batfink seems to be spinning around in ever smaller circles. while the group as an entity seems to be regressing back towards pond slime, i in my alter ego of JOHNNY MUMBLE- LEGEND IN HIS OWN HEAD (im thinking about getting some business cards printed up to that nature) am living in fast forward. im already at the jim morrison 'bloated egotistical wanker stage' and ill be dead in the bath tub by next week, no joke. i am unable to impress on the other 'finks the fact that WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME. ive got the 21st century breathing down my neck, i must move fast, and i think ill stop right there thank you very much, as ive always found it very annoying when people start quoting song lyrics in reference to their lives. i think im at the stage where i need some approval from someone. all my life ive thrived on dissaproval, people telling me im nothing. i need to taste the blood in my throat, yknow? but recently ive been getting a hankering for a pat on the head and a shiny penny. draw your own psychoanylitical conclusions. for the two, maybe three of you who are interested the newly updated DEADHIPPY ONLINE is now, well, online. my brother, for reasons known only to his warped self has put it at a different place to the old one. so now theres two out there- a pisspoor one and a good one. i dont know the adress to either, but apparently theres now a link to the new one from the jeepster site. look under 'other record labels' and laugh a hollow laugh. it would give me a warm feeling in my tummy if some of you were to fill in the signup form. i would also appreciate some opinion on the train of thought style batfink bio thing, or indeed any other piece of text on the website, as its all written by little ole me/johnny mumble/i can tell this is going to get really confusing. isnt the piano magic lp twisted/beautiful, and while we're on the subject isnt every word simon rivers writes pure poetry from tjohn. John McKeown (on the stereo)- I wanna have an orange for a head! My Brother- did he just say he wants to have an orange for a head? John McKeown (on the stereo)- oh yeah, I wanna have an orange for a head! My Brother- oh, he did say he wants to have an orange for a head.

Sinister: Remember me?
by stephen hewitt 15 Sep '99

I'm the one who had yr babies eyes ging-ger-ger-ging-ging, ging-ging-ger-ging (ah, blue boy) etc HELLO, god what a lot of work i've been doing. Still got a backlog of about 200 mails to get through, but just a quicky to say I might see you all on Saturday afternoon (all 1274 or whatever of us are going, aren't we) up that hill, but I might be on the scrounge for somewhere to stay, not sure yet. Cassarooto said something about naked pictures of me about 4 weeks ago. I'd just like to say, form an orderly queue please, strictly first come, first served. paul 'various colours' sallis said: 10. "The bands on just don't have the hard-core obsessive following that Belle & Sebastian has" (Hey, that's you! ;) and I read it as "The bands just don't have the hard-on obsessive following that Belle & Sebastian has" and I laughed. will hopefully return to my usual level of posting once we've got all these new 16 year old students settled in. xoxo CarsmileSteve +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Primrose Hill - the new Ibiza
by mctag＠bigfoot.com 15 Sep '99

15 Sep '99

Dear S Clubbers, Only on Sinister could I read that people are upset about missing "University Challenge". This never happens on the Insane Clown Posse list, I can assure you. They're all into "Strike it lucky". And Lou Bega fans can't get enough of "Who wants to be a Millionaire?" Talking of Lou Bega, has anyone noticed him namechecking half the female population of Sinister on "Mambo Number 5"? Erica, Sandra, Pamela, Jessica, Piezo-electric Unit...he loves them all. Lou just loves the ladeez. And what's wrong with that? I love the ladeez too. Errr..."Boneboy" wrote about the Make Up. I was listening to them only yesterday, and they really are the toppermost of the poppermost. I wonder when they'll be coming to the shores of Blighty, Manchester specifically. Manchester's crap these days. Bands don't play no more, too much fighting on the dancefloor. You see the tour dates and they all go to Leeds instead. Just because they've got a bloody Harvey Nicks in Leeds. Bands love Harvey Nicks, these days, I read it in OK magazine. Kino Korner - Our Wumpkinny and I went to see "Go" the other day and it was really rather good. But are American raves really like that? They seemed almost....dare I say it...twee. Maybe this will inspire massed narcotic necking at the masterfully arranged "Sinisters are doing it for themselves" events this weekend. I do hope so. Picture the scene, if you will. Jasper Buckaroo: Are you on one, matey? Wupert: Fanx geezer, I'm sorted. Tamara: Nish. Lucinda: Clish. (DJ Flopsy Bunny seemlessly segues "Emma's House" into "I'm in love with a girl who doesn't know I exist") Sensitive Stan: CHOOOOOOON!!! Maybe not. Love Tag xx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: millenium fug
by Archel1978＠aol.com 15 Sep '99

i just read something called 'the bug and me' about how prepare for Y2K, and i can't decide whether the author is a complte nutcase, having a laugh, or dead serious. if the latter i'm very scared, because according to him we should be starting to buy pasta in bulk and building generators running off rabbit poo in our back gardens. we certainly can't travel anywhere, which scuppers my plans of running away from both xmas and new year and lying in an alcoholic stupor in a hut in the carribbean for 2 weeks. good luck in the elections erica - thanks to my boyfriend i am now fully aware of the horrors of school/town life in your area of hertfordshire, even, yes, the prince regent. sinister will be trusting you to carry the torch of individualism, preferably setting fire to a few reebok classics with it along the way. i'm sad that i wasn't included amongst the industrious A people. imagine, all squeezed up in print next to alisdair and ailsa. makes me tingle just thinking about it. but i guess i don't count as my real name begins with R. university challenge: i'm afraid mark that warwick deserved to be beaten as their team consisted of slightly odd looking blokes. whereas newcastle, despite having a loony captain, stormed to victory thanks to the rather attractive english student on the end, mmm. shallow, me? york have never been on university challenge, despite having my boyfriend on the team that entered last year. plus i just discovered that we have not been short-listed for any of the student media awards this year. dammit. see what happens when i leave? can't think of anything else to say right now, except that (re. erica's mention; i am not wilfully introducing this subject) someone from menswear was (still is i suppose) related to my sister's best friend. the whole of east sussex nearly died from excitement when that one came out. see some of you in the big city lights at the weekend, i hope. archel xxx ********* Rachel Playforth archel(a)iname.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Death in Essex
by Andrew_2_Lloyd＠sbphrd.com 15 Sep '99

My first post! To enlighten your idle lives, may I provide you with the opportunity to mix and match my details..... Age Left Living Barcode on cheek (temporary) Name Tuna current fave B&S tuney thing Goodbye America (Lolita Storm) -Handed 1 Sex Is it wicked not to care? Times seen B&S live 22 Fave fashion accessory Harlow, Essex (on account of work unfortunately) Fave song this year Andi Fave Food male Bought a copy of the Hefner Soul last week, featuring Stuart Murdoch guesting on the track "More Christian Girls" Haven't heard it yet, it's one of those old fashioned vinyl things, my parents still have their uses I guess. I've been putting a tape together for a mate. We had a show together on Reading Uni radio - He provided the mouth, I the playlist and witty put downs. Being welsh he was into Gorky's and early Chumbawumba (i.e. when they weren't so bad) but since then he's strayed into nothingness really, but since playing a B&S song of the week on our show I've managed to reawaken his desire to hear songs other than those on the Radio 1 playlist Can't wait to see the Flaming Lips pristine and totally devoid of pain Andi andrewlloyd(a)madasafish.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: the tears made my makeup run down my face
by Tigerxdare＠aol.com 15 Sep '99

15 Sep '99

well last night i was going to hang out with my friend bryan, but we talked on the phone at around 7:30 pm, and he said he was going to go to philly instead to see reggie and the full effect and rainer maria. so i thought about it for a second. by this time i was feeling better, my system free of the alcohol and raw brownie batter i had consumed earlier that day. so i said that i would go and that i would see him there. i called everyone i thought might want to go with me, but i couldnt find a single person. so i went in my car drove to the train station and went by myself. i really hate riding the train alone at night. by the time i had driven to the train station, waited for the train, rode the train and walked to the show it was a little after 9 pm.on my way there kids were coming in my direction yelling how i just missed the surprise guest that night-the get up kids. it figures i would miss them even though i really like them and had been really wanting to see them live for oh about two years now. well i pay and walk in, and i see my friend joe, and we start talking. then a boy i really really cared for and was seeing walked in. he looked directly at me, then walked away and completely ignored me. this was a boy that i really really liked mind you. i ran up the stairs and into a corner where i tried to compose myself, but joe ran after me and as soon as he asked what was wrong i started crying. people were giving me odd stares at this point, so joe walked me to the store so that i could get some cigarettes and calm down without being surrounded by all these others kids who who wondering why tears were straming down my face. i couldnt stop crying, even in the store as i stood in the checkout line. i said to joe "i hate boys, they all break my heart and leave me in tears, i just cant take it anymore and i dont even know why i am here, i dont even listen to emo anyways, and i hate all these pretensious kids. all i even listen to is belle and sebastian anyways, i should have just stayed home." then a boy that was standing in front of me in the line turns around and says to me "well if you like belle and sebastian you cant be doing too badly" i didnt know what to say i just stammered yeah i guess so and he walked away. i walked back to the show and joe went and talked to his friends and i walked around by myself. i despise the kids that are there, snobs who think it is a fashion show, who use the word emo to desribe everything including inamiate objects. they disgust me and i was just going to turn around and leave when i see the boy who had commented about belle and sebastian. he is sitting on the curb by himself smoking, so i walk over to him, sit down and start talking. we had so much in common, and he despised the people there as much as i did. it turns out he was there alone too, and we spent the whole night at the show together talking. he lived in the city, but went and walked me back to the train station anyway when it was time to go home. we exvhanged numbers and are going to hang out soon. i am happy but it is bittersweet. i am still upset about the other boy that set off my tears, but if it had not been for the fact that i wa crying and upset and rambling because of him i would not have even met this other boy. i dont even know what to think i am trying not to have any hopes or expectations, seeing as how i inevitably always get hurt and let down. i have also decided that i don't just fancy boys as much anymore, i am atttracted to girls too. i had been thinking about that for a long time now, and i realized today how i really felt. at this point, i think the only person i would want to persue would be a girl....and by the way,.. bryan who was the reason i was at the show in the first place never showed up... bye sinister darlings. xoxo, lauren +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by BabyChris Crystalballs 15 Sep '99

15 Sep '99

I appologise, but this mail has nothing whatsoever to do whith the handling (or non-handling) of truth. It does concern other things like: how the hell did I get to number 4 on the listcrush? I know that one of my friends voted me on my computer, when I was looking at the vote standings, then turned away. Did anyone else vote? Does anyone luuuv meeee? sob, sob, sob :) Ahhhh. I feel that certain people are being misrepresented on the vote front. Who the hell are scarlet and genieve and certain other people? I don't remember them from before the summer, and I sure as hell don't remember recieving an introduction. And where are the beloved stalwarts of the list of olde, such as Ailsa (who has 2 votes, but desrves many more) and trousers, and honey and Alastair? It has all gone wrong. Oh, it has. I have been tryinmg to get in contact with the band, for reasons that no-one can know yet, and was told that they shall emerge from a summer hibernation in the recording studio in about 10 days, at which time they will get back to me. When does the new E.P. come out. Oh, my, isn't little mel c so punk! with her leather trousers, and her "touch me and I'll kill ya" hair cut. She has to learn that she cannot escape her kappa slappa doyss of old, her townie personna. daft bitch. baby chris CRYSTALBALLS ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: the waves of conversation are enough to knock you down
by fountainhead 15 Sep '99

is it morning yet? i believe that it is. and, in fact, almost a pleasant one. tomorrow t'will be more so when the shadow of exams has lifted. unversally challenged - that's me. did someone mention baptiste? they seem rather fine from what i've heard. one of them gave us a demo at bowlie, and then it turned out that someone i know on another list is amongst their entourage in some capacity which, i'm sure, ranks him higher than your usual hanger-on. anyhows, i'm sure they'll dig up a new member from somewhere. guitarists are ten-a-penny around here. i do hope the rumours of another tellytubby's parsnips in march are true. i was most displeased at the prospect of missing the tindersticks - so it'd be lovely if they could get a similar lineup for 'bowlie - the revenge'. maybe pavement might actually turn up too. guide to b&s etiquette..... when taking eleven people on holiday, is it bad manners to bring all three albums, all the ep's, and looper (theire record, not stuart)? if it's not bad manners, then should i also go and get a copy of the gentle waves record too? ho hum candyfloss bum f. -- fountainhead(a)earthling.net busy - http://fly.to/balls doing - http://listen.to/chemex nothing - http://fly.to/fountain -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
