Sinister: My Beautiful Friends

Hello Chums (said in an 80s Beano stylee) Well, some poor misguided soul has given me a list crush vote. I'm very honoured, but I just hope you never see my face or meet me - I wouldn't want to damage your expectations. *hugs* I bet it was just cos I mentioned 'wet dream' in a post. (And *no*, I'm not sending a pic to bodyparts <grin>) I did a drawing of a fox this morning, it was very cute and twee, so I tried to make it even more so and ended up messing it up :( I *did* draw a rather nice Manga-style elf called Rebel though. He's leaning on thin air, don't you know.... Is it true that Jeepster (lovely people, lovely lovely people) are going to be selling the cover for the EPs seperately, so that all us folks who bought them beforehand can marvel at it's glory? I was looking nostalgically at M.A.S.K. and Thundercats sites this morning. Kids today don't know what they're missing, really they don't. Still, nothing compares to original Transformers cartoons ;) (well, maybe Jase And The Twee Warriors) My Beastie Boys calander tells me that we fast approach the end of January. Wasn't that a bloody fast month. Almost as fast as a Road Runner on speed, but not quite, cos nothing runs *quite* as fast as Road Runner ;) I think I'm in a cartoon obsession mode today ;) *Unwraps his ACME jetpack* See you all later, I'm off! *Crashes ACME jetpack into overhang, overhang falls on him, hammering him into to ground. He appears in the next scene unhurt, trudging off into the sunset* Meep! Meep! --Jason "And in the rapture and the charm Came the tranquil and the calm" ICQ: 45821217 +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)missprint.org".

Sinister: jupiter, the bringer of jollity...
by FrugalSyntax33＠aol.com 22 Jan '00

hello, my new dearest friends... this weekend has been a refreshing time for me. my friend and i went to cbgb's yesterday in nyc out of boredom and were of course the youngest ones there. we thought there might be an exciting show going on, but it turned out to be the 2nd rock 'n roll circus. the best way to describe it: weird. it started out with a sleater-kinney like band, which were decent, i have to admit. next came two random dancers, which lasted all of 2 minutes. i have to admit, it was hilarious to see people who wanted to go to the back of the club try to get past them. right after them was a "comedian" with a little jazz thing going on in the background, who was extremely annoying and frustrating. he held a "homeless doll" and had random rants on nothing. the people around me were making fun of him splendously though. it was more amusing than what was going on on stage. after this came another band called "2nd ex-beatle to die." they were horrible. i even blocked out the annoying repetitive line from their last song out of my memory, it was that bad. after this was a random woman who said that all girls should continue living their lives being submissive to men, and some of the women in the audience cheered. ack. the last band we saw were called "guttergirl." they were watchable at least, some good lyrics. i believe i started falling asleep at that point. it was midnight at that point and my friend and i were sadly forced to go back to long island, considering my parents decided to give me a curfew of 2 a.m. for once. i guess the cold drives some people crazy. oh yes, here are some parts of the show i left out: there were random movies playing during all of this "excitement." they were basically cheesy movies made by somebody from the club in the 80's. there were also "fitness" videos being played, which i gander were sad attempts to either be like pornos(but not, of course), or to parody them. sadly, neither attempt worked. i was also thrilled at being served alcohol, even though it was pretty weak and the person cut me off after the first drink. if she's a b&s fan and happens to be on this list, thank you very much. even though nobody would've known if i was drunk off my ass or not, for i have a pretty high tolerance level. :). so that was my exciting night last night. hope you enjoyed the account. i woke up this morning to hear my parents complaining about my lack of effort in school. they found out i've handed another paper in two days late and have grounded me from attending any shows such as cbgb's in the city until the next interim report comes out-which will be around two months. this hurts me dearly, considering i was really starting to like the idea of getting off my ass and leaving this computer and town during the weekends.. oh well, looks like i'm back to where i started. i guess i need some form of motivation, but this is just awful. somebody save me. please. i believe this has also helped me though. i've started to become interested in art again. i haven't felt this way since the summer...but i sort of lost my interest in everything since that time...i don't wish to go into that now, but i believe i'm finally becoming better now. i've looked at my favorite old art history textbooks(which happen to be mostly my mother's), i've regained my love for art, especially rococo. i'm going to the frick collection tomorrow with my mother. it should be fun, actually. i haven't been to a museum in months, sadly enough. as of this moment, i'm going to continue listening to the planets suite and look at more rococo art, woo. hope all of you darlings had fun reading this. amy. *erica wanted me to say this...her and honey are currently having a lesbian romp. meow! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)missprint.org".

Sinister: Re: sinister-digest V4 #25
by MM_KULIK＠ACAD.FANDM.EDU 22 Jan '00

22 Jan '00

Unfortunately, as I must send this from the evilest of all computer applications, Telnet, I cannot create a witty subject line for this post. That's probably a good thing because my brain is fried after studying for my Polish language exam all day and I would have sat staring blankly at the screen for ages trying to think of one. So that's saved me some time. I wish everyone would stop telling me about all the snow they're getting in America right now because when I went home for the Christmas holiday (I'm studying in Glasgow now), there was no snow, and now I'm here and there's no snow here and there won't ever be, since it's Glasgow. WOE=ME. Speaking of Glasgow, I have to say that the 13th Note is one of my favorite places in the whole wide world. Anyone who lives in or has been to Glasgow (and also the 13th Note) will agree with me because it's one of those undeniable truths. They even have Polish beer, and though not everyone would be impressed by that, I was overwhelmingly sexcited about it. I drank it and it was good. I have no B&S content to offer. I just felt like writing and saying something because I've been silently pondering my class notes all day and not speaking, and anyone who knows me at all will testify that I find it difficult to keep my mouth shut when I have something to say. I can go on and on for ages. I hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend. Since it's exam week I will probably be confined to my desk most of the night, but I will make up for that next weekend. I do have something to look forward to on Monday, though -- I agreed to bleach my hair because my friend Richard said he would shave his head if I do it, so I must. I've always wanted to do it, but I was too scared. Now I have an excuse, and also a cop-out if it goes wrong -- 'it was a dare...' Take care, everybody!!!

Sinister: amidst a sea of empty bottles, crockery, and coffee cups
by marie elia 22 Jan '00

22 Jan '00

right right. so i'm listening to the lucksmiths' "staring at the sky," which i keep taking off my turntable in an effort to give my other records equal attention, but which i keep putting back on because it's fucking Addicting, and i'm thinking that "smokers in love" has such a cute little chorus -- "la la la la la la smokers in loo-ove" -- but the rest of the song is so damn Depressing. ay. we had a party last night, and maybe some of you remember my advice (spawned from a new year's party) to keep away from the kid with the polaroid camera... well, i should take my own advice, but something about having an entire bottle of tropico (rum + juice stuff) to myself made me actually Seek Out the Camera. unfortunately for me, there was also a video camera sneaking around, and there is just something about wearing pants (trousers) under yr skirt that gives you the urge to lift up yr skirt for everyone, including said camera. oh the party comes back to me in little snippets -- dancing on a chair to the jackson 5... tango-ing with miss KIMberly to st. etienne, me trying to kiss my ex-boy while he ever-so-gently protested... um, that little lifting-up-the-skirt thing... oh dear. heh heh... i just had a great image of Trousers under un-suspecting girls' skirts. magnetic megan, whose tirades are definitely more endearing than bitchy (maybe it's those darn cute red sneakers that i remember from the NYC Frolic in the Cloisters), spoke words of wisdom with the following: > she's kind of like a girl in a belle and sebastian song, which > has lead me to the conclusion that they sound nice in songs, but > must be really, really annoying in real life. i don't really know any of those in real life. i just thought that was worth pointing out. um... PE stories... none of the girls in my class wanted to play sports really. well, there was that one girl who was a softball whiz, and really tall and good at basketball, but for the most part we all sat around spending more energy on avoiding playing than it would have taken to actually just suck it up and Try to kick the stupid ball. but when we did actually have to pick teams, i was last. out of the, you know, Five girls in our little catholic school class. i'm not traumatized. i was alternately meek and wicked in gym -- ducking for cover during dodgeball but wielding a hockey stick like a warrior in field hockey. B&S content: 1) box set = nice idea. i bought all of my ep's except 3.6.9 while in london, so i didn't have to shell out import prices. but lots of folks Do, so... i think it's a good thing. plus if jeepstah are offering the empty box for which to put yr already-bought ep's in, what's to complain about?? 2) box sex = even better 3) fucking hell, release the fucking new album already. genevieve wrote: > its not like Struan's pushed me into the wall and has got both my > arms pinned above my head,with only one of his hands,whispering > menacingly "You..will..buy..it" and I'm going "Bite me,jeepster > skank!" But he's just sooo strong.. oh yeah which is one of the sexiest things i've read in a while. oh this has gone on long enough. keep 'em comin'. xoxo, ma-ree ===== ************************************************************ "to me she was just marie." -mersault "hearts don't break/ the division is innate" -secret stars eliam(a)alleg.edu |littlearsonist(a)yahoo.com |AOLIM:LazyJane22 ************************************************************ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: A Winter Wasting
by Robert Brennan 22 Jan '00

22 Jan '00

Life is sunny, life is joy. Yep, it's time I got out of this January funk and embraced the the year without thinking too hard about the fact I hit my quarter-century sometime in the middle. Having lived here for a few weeks I decided it was time to expose my new flatmate to a spot of B&S to see if it sparked any recognition, turned him into a fan on the spot or resulted in a thunderous argument. He walked in to the lounge (alright, Living Room) while Tigermilk was playing. The following witty exchange ensued: Flatmate: "Who's this?" Me: "Belle & Sebastian." Flatmate: "Oh." I expected a few more words from someone who freely claims to be a journalist but at least it wasn't the "Get that shit off my stereo!" which I've heard oh so many times. So why am I so happy? Well - I've got eleven days holiday to use up before the end of March. Unfortunately my meagre funds won't get me out of the country so I'll be having some grate adventures in unfamiliar places in the UK. Mail me privately if you know anywhere that's ace and worth visiting (though not necessarily twee). That is all. I'm off to get drunk. Robster P.S. My last post fell into a black hole so my apologies if another post beating the P.E. thread to death turns up unexpectedly. ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: music for airports
by Ciflux＠aol.com 22 Jan '00

22 Jan '00

I finally delurk for this question: > What do you think is the best belle and sebby music for airporting? Or any > sort of music for that matter? I've always liked airports for some reason, > and belle and sebastian seems to go very well with that whole mod-airport > theme. Is this just me? I like airports, too. And train stations. (Not bus stations, though -- at least not for the most part.) They are places of temporary, transitional moments, some big, some small. I find I do my best thinking while waiting for flights or trains, feeling temporarily suspended from my day-to-day life and getting ready for some kind of momentary displacement. I like that feeling, actually, and the music I bring along should ideally reflect that. It should be a little wistful and dark around the edges, yet not *too* sad, slow or melancholy. It should sculpt itself around the station and the experience. Here are some prime suggestions. Try them on your next travel mix tape (uh, I'm not the only one who does this almost every time he travels, am I?) -- Nick Drake's _Way To Blue_ (I remember listening to "Northern Sky" on a flight from Newark to London, watching the edge of the horizon begin to brighten -- one of those perfect moments) -- Edith Frost's _Calling Over Time_ (brought this along to Minneapolis last year and it seemed to sculpt itself around the airport lounge) -- The Flying Burrito Brothers' _Further Along_ (though this is more for long road trips) -- Yo La Tengo from _Painful_ onward -- St. Etienne's _So Tough_ -- certain Eyeless In Gaza songs -- they wrote a lot about travel and weather. "Transience Blues" works especially well. -- The Smiths' _Louder Than Bombs_ -- pretty much any prime New Zealand pop music from the mid-80s, especially the Chills, Bats and Peter Jefferies -- Adventures In Stereo's blue album -- Sarah records sound best on plane flights -- I hardly ever listen to most of them at home anymore... ...and my Belle & Sebastian in-flight selections: "Stars of Track & Field," "Slow Graffiti," "Lazy Line Painter Jane," "It Could Have Been A Brilliant Career," "Photo Jenny," "Rollercoaster Ride." There's more, I'm sure. OK, back into the shadows. mike (who's done far too much traveling this past year and is enjoying being earthbound for awhile) ciflux(a)aol.com http://members.aol.com/ciflux +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)missprint.org".
