Sinister: for those about to rock...
by Nathan Holmes 11 Sep '99

Hi kids, Just taking some furtive steps out of the ol' nursery to say hi. Kind of a dreary friday night here (moan). Been playing tigermilk incessantly since I bought a few weeks ago. I have to limit myself to one listen a day now. I listen to it at work (little touristy variety store) and am still waiting for a fellow fan to wander in. I even leave the album cover on the counter for all to see.... so far no results. Does anyone else do this? Melanie? I'll have to go dig the album out of my to-take-back/give-away/potential ashtray pile of albums. I really couldn't stand it when I got it....but she looked so cute. Anyway, thanks for letting me into your fold everyone (and honey). I love all your thoughts and everything. Yours till Niagara Falls, Nate P.S. Are any of the Toronto Sinisterians heading to the Labradford/Godspeed you Black Emperor! show? Its either that or Cheap Trick for me (no joke,) Cheers. Oh yeah... icq# 45741872 ______________________________________________________ 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".

I've been noticing an uprising of msg headers with quotes from UP. I like it. I like it very much.

Sinister: freak out
by Genevieve Wesley 11 Sep '99

11 Sep '99

Dearest List, Is God playing with me again? First ATP is cancelled,now my computer is WORKING. The lovely E.A of Toronto knows *MY* record store boy! My mind is blown! A long time ago,he was just about the only thing I would write about on this list.My sin! My soul! This small sinister world never ceases to amaze,I swear,probably next I will find out like 5 of you are my second cousins. I actual wrote this and sent this in a sinister post at one point: from you,my love,records I buy for you to love me,how I try! do not hesitate anymore here is a nice floor and when you ignore me,I cry my cutie works in a record store he's always going behind that back door he looks good in flares he just doesn't care of him i would like to see more Omigod! Why didnt I just wear a shirt that blinked LOSER in flashing lights? I know,I know...guys like girls who are hard-to-get,right? So what am I supposed to do? Call you bitch and knee you in the nads and run off? Is THAT hard-to-get? Have you seen the new GAP commercials? Everybody In Leather! Ha ha!Freaks! They look just plain dumb in that one.The Mellow Yellow one is catchy,but,come on...this? Even though there is no ATP it looks like there is going to be some wild celebrating. How come no one talks about how attractive the band members are anymore? I never seem to tire of it.Recently Arctic Woman asked me what Belle and Sebastian were up to.What ARE they up to? Just think...as I`m typing this,Stuart Murdoch could be arranging his weekly y-fronts, (mondays pair,tuesdays pair,oh look wednesdays is a cheetah print!)Or picking his nose.But he wouldnt do that,would he? No no,not him...I imagine he`s curled up on a couch in silk pjs,settling back with some fine (fancy brand) wine,and a french novel.I imagine Stuart David is sunning himself naked as the day he was born on white beaches in the Bahamas right now.I imagine Mick Cooke doing tai-chi out on the lawn,during the sunrise,while there is still dew on the grass. kiss kiss, genevieve >Genevieve but I'm confused as to which one is you. >Steve C. yup thats me on the right,im the lady in red...dancing cheek to cheek ______________________________________________________ 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: this will bore you
by E. A. Hostetter 11 Sep '99

11 Sep '99

Hi all you gorgeous crush-worthy people HOOGLIES I have just come to the realization, if ever so painfully, that I am a member of the Garofalo stratum of this icko world. Why? - Cutting sense of humour..."I'll knock you down!!" - Great to talk to..."aaawwwwww" - A slip at 110 pds (47 kilos?) but looks fat in photos and well, - Suffers from Hoogly-ism...being the one that the dorky friend talks to So vote for me on the list crush...make me smile. ------------- MONTREAL Not had much luck finding work for October here in Toronto so I expanded my search to Montreal...I already have an interview lined up and a place to stay (free room at best friend's) I'd be working on the Plateau. Toronto and all its posturing is starting to get to me. G-LOVE Honey, Pookluv-Genevieve and I practised our French last night so now I am fully prepared to make my move to la belle province. It turns out that G has 'lil eyes for one KC, an old University classmate of mine...be warned: he is rather moody and intense, despite being incredibly cute! B&S I betrayed my B&S leanings yesterday and decided to forgo "Tigermilk." I bought Freedy Johnston's 'Blue Days, Blue Nights' instead. Being brought up on Dylan and the Band has made me a devotee of anything rootsy...well, except Bruce Hornsby and the Range... Have a great weekend all...I'm going to see "The Sixth Sense" tonight :) I'll post my review soon enough xo ea +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: the size of the t-shirts
by Jordi Trenzano i Vilar 11 Sep '99

11 Sep '99

The new t-shirts look great, but why there isnŽt anybody who thinks on the people like us, the ones who need an XL size ? ItŽs one step more on the discrimination of the tall people. I almost hurt ny knees in some seats of the buses, my head has hit several kinds of different roofs and now IŽll buy a t-shirt that won Žt fit me two months after paying 10 pounds for it. Sorry, I find this really unfair. ===================================== ============= Jordiet Sinistre (Always looking on the bright side of life, even when IŽm trying to keep out my t-shirts from en ding their days cleaning the the floor) ================================================== Tu E-Mail Gratis en http://www.mixmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: something about debuts
by spencer lloyd 10 Sep '99

10 Sep '99

So my nursery time is over, and I am able to enter the Kingdom of Sinister, the path strewn with lurking corpses(corpses are dead, what time do they have for writing emails to silly mailing lists!) sorry bad metaphor. I am redfaced to admit that I am new to the world of B+S; just a few short deliriously heavenly months. But what I lack in experience I make up for in passion(urgh I think I said that to my first boi lover!) I am not however redfaced to admit that I madly in love with the band, which i assume is a common occurrence around this way. Just as in any normal infatuation they are all that I think about. the first thought that drops on me from my slumber is B+S. Like the sweaty underarm pong, or sweet perfume of a lover I can almost smell them. Ok so maybe they are merely a surrogate for a real, living breathing touching snogging friend, but godammit this feels like the real thing I just know it! Nobody has ever made me cry such beautiful tears like they do. Nobody has made me feel such orgasmic pleasure as they (figuratively speaking of course). Nobody has danced with me as they. Ok there was that one girlie who would come and visit me occasionally and we would waltz together in a grand Indian ballroom, but strictly speaking she wasn't real, more of a hallucination, or clinically speaking: a psychotic episode manifested by my intense fear of being alone. I am wandering here aren't I? or perhaps my wandering is more revealing, the point of the exercise being... anyways My claim to fame is? I once had a conversation at a party with Karl Smith, singer/songwriter from the occasionally mentioned fantabulous Perth(my home town, that is Perth Australia) band Sodastream. Although this was when he was in the infinitely much more melodious Thermos Cardy. Anyway we spoke about the sad demise of a fanzine called Pigmeat that a friend of my Brother's use to produce. We drank the same beer, we had the same gawky expression on our face. Ok so its not much, but its such a small isolated place and I have so little to work with. Anyways that is me introduced. Will write soon children.

Sinister: the customary hello
by Phoebe Scheel 10 Sep '99

10 Sep '99

Hello foxes! I've just emerged from the nursery...charming place it was, but I rather felt like a cabbage patch doll with my body stuck in the ground and my head poking through the top of a cabbage, just waiting for a nice list mummy to come and pluck me out...so here I am at last, all decked out in my B+S t-shirt and Xavier Roberts scrawled across my bum (that'll be a chore to get off!). As you might have gathered by now, I don't have a point, except to say how pleased I am to see that there are other DC listees. I've only just moved here--straight out of college and very frightened--but I will most definitely make my presence known at the next capital city Sinister gathering (you do have those, right?) for I am sad and jealous of all those lucky ducks partying in London. There's still plenty of warm weather left... Ah well, in the meantime, I'll amuse myself with all of your witty and infinitely entertaining letters that I so look forward to. It's a glum day here, but I'm going to go sit outside for a bit. Oh yes, back when I was still trapped in the cabbage, someone sinister mentioned all the tourists in Union Station--well, I work just across the street from there and often spend my lunch hours watching (and laughing at) the throngs of tourists who come and go...an odd bunch, I must say. Yesterday, this woman spent at least five minutes intently videotaping a mob of pigeons fighting over a cracker! Then she taped the lunatic with a trumpet. I have to feel sorry for her, for when she gets home and shows the video to her poor unsuspecting family, she'll undoubtedly hear my friend and I in the background making sarcastic comments about her choice of noteworthy attractions. Here's another hint for all you potential tourists (something they won't tell you in a guidebook): it's not possible to ring the bell outside Union Station, but if you climb up inside of it, you can bang on the inside and make a wonderful racket! oh dear, my first post and I'm already off-topic, I do apologize. I hope everyone has a lovely sunny day, Phoebe ______________________________________________________ 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".
