Sinister: A wee bit of Spit and Polish
by Sleeka Sounds 20 Jan '00

20 Jan '00

It's me again, just a quickie. Last night me and Julia went to the 'Spit and Polish' launch, it was really good. Ben Vaughn, Laura Cantrell & Radio Sweethearts played, they were all really brilliant. Stevie Jackson plays bass with Ben Vaughn, and he's growing a huge 'afro' style haircut. I think they're playing Aberdeen tonight and London on the 24th, you should go if you like country music with laptop steel slidey guitar thing. Bumped into big Alisdair Cooke, he was on his way to see Kate Rusby who everyone fancies. I hope it was good Alisdair, I'm sure it will have been. So this morning I had a look at the shoeshine website, and there is an interview with Chip 'my mom was a pisser' Taylor, and he's going on about Belle and Sebastian go and look http://www.shoeshine.co.uk/chip.htm There's a picture of Ali G as he really is in the paper, and he looks like he partakes in box sex. (Talking of which, Belle and Sebastian won a Brit Award and then sort of disappeared. If Jeepster release what they have available to get some sort of income, I reckon it's ok. People's wages need to be paid. And I never thought I'd be defending Jeepster. Whooo scary.) David Moore is our Leader: >Welcome back Mr Leonard, lovely to hear from you again. Did you watch >any Japanese movies on TV over Christmas? Well spotted, I'm getting right into Made in Hong Kong style films. Mr. Vampire is my favourite film in the world today and Biao Yuen, Ching-Ying Lam and big Sammo Hung are becoming my new heroes, since Robin Williamson insists on continually being a thieving hippie gypsy bastard. Did I tell you I went to see the original Incredible String Band reformed for one night only on the 30th December? I was so excited. It cost me about 40 pounds+ because I bought 2 tickets and hoped I could get someone to go with me. I think I was the most excited I've ever been. And it was shite. Really Really Really Really SHITE. There's a number of reasons why, but I just made myself quite cross remembering it. Billy Connelly done a turn though, that was good. cheery, Christopher P.S. In Tune on Friday at the 13th note. PPS Keith is still alive in the 70s, he's made a new web page it's at http://home.freeuk.net/keith.watson/ and I'm sure he'd love it if you signed his guestbook, just love I would If you signed mine.

Sinister: Photos of insomniacs, doin' what they do best...
by LookingDownward＠aol.com 20 Jan '00

20 Jan '00

Ahoy-hoy? It's supposed to snow to-morrow. It's cloudy now, but it was a terribly pretty night: cold and clear, a perfect night for a long walk; the moon wasn't quite full yet, but through teary eyes it almost seemed that way. Hmm. I need to work on that spontaneous crying thing. I need to get "hard". Any advice? It's a shame, though, as when I did my last bit of clothes-shopping, I was banking on global warming coming quickly enough (a spurious bit of logic designed to fritter away money on books full of recipes I'll never dare attempt), so I've got nary a bit of wooly clothing suitable for making snow-angels, which I've not done in years. That's as I don't have a lawn, but I'm determined to find a bit of park whiteness to wade through to-morrow morning, to get promptly soaked, and to *never* shake this sniffle I've got. Kickball, for whomever asked, is just like baseball except it's played with a large red rubber or foam ball (or a slightly deflated football if it's handy), and you kick it in lieu of swinging a bat. The way we played it as kids, though, was that instead of needing to use the ball to directly conduct your negative energy to the base-runner, you could lob it at him to get him 'out'. The trouble with that was that the people who, I presume (I've since moved far, far away) turned into the sort of people who made Woodstock '99 such fun, decided that the game was only fun when they were heaving the ball at somebody's head--it didn't matter whose. They would miss more often than not, and the ball would fly into the outfield, and the score would be so high that it wouldn't matter anymore, 'cos it wasn't about who could kick the ball, but who wasn't clever enough to get out of the way. Which was, too often, me. But I grew up to getting spitballs thrown at me, and then, eventually, rocks and lacrosse balls. And that was *before* the assumptive homophobia entered.. I turned on VH-1's "The List" (which, for those of you that aren't familiar with it, is a loosely arranged group of quasi-celebrities from television, film, and music who debated the greatest something-or other in the history of music, but from a quasi-defined, VH-1 friendly standpoint, all to be ultimately subjected to the discerning insight of VH-1 viewers)--tonight they were going over the greatest singer/songwriter; I nearly retched when they axed Ray Davies from the list (not necessarily 'cos I'm a huge Kinks fan, but 'cos he was the most out-of the way of the list besides Barry Manilow... and although I love Mandy and Copa Cabana as much as I'm sure everybody else in the world does, my knowledge of his work is thus confined). There is a point... I was absolutely swooning over this boy on the show in a leather jacket whose name turned out to be Jason Falkland... and I think I read somewhere that he's currently playing guitar in Air's travelling band. I'm sure he must have done something else to merit his stand on the show with two people from Ally McBeal and the Pink Power Ranger, but I dunno what. So, please, I beg of all of you wonderful people, if you've got anything nice to say about him, would you e-mail me it? I've a feeling I'll need some positive opinion to reinforce my memories of what will most likely be a series of relatively naughty dreams about him (which will most likely involve peach-flavoured tea and apple-and-cheese sandwiches consumed from striped cushions while XTC plays in the background..). And I would like to echo Jim's condolences to anybody who's obligated to work with the rabble. Unless of course one's in a such a spot where one's got a deucedly charming old man standing behind oneself, singing into one's ear charming French children's songs, such that one not only forgets the immediate joy of difficult labour in the name of a good cause, but that one also forgets the lingering resentment over having to get up at 5 in the morning over holidays to work for several hours for nothing tangible but the uncomfortable situation of picking at a salad one doesn't want to eat as one tossed it by sticking one's arms in it up to the shoulders (the aversion is expected to be stronger if one has particularly long arms) hours earlier, while constantly reliving the sight and smell of USDA Grade-A beef being taken out of government-issue tins (which, for those who have never experienced it first-hand, is probably a topic for an entirely different post on an assuredly different list). Or, naturally, any equivalent situation. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)missprint.org".

Sinister: stick me with a pin and deflate me please.

hi-o everyone. I reckon your sick of my posts, since i do them so often, but i'm full of hot air, and you have a delete button. so we're even. after i finished my posty for last night as i was going tosleep i thought how large and bulbous i made my ahem: breasts sound, so i would like to take this momment. to say they aren't 'large and bulbous.' I keep digging myself deeper here. I shall shut up. << Jake le PetitE: sigh such a boy aren't we? and I don't mean this in any conotation other than your being such a typical boy type for this one area of things.and i'm not being rude so please? ok.(and i'm fullfilling my role as feminazi) my kitten is soo cute, she was sleeping in the bathroom sink this morning,but we think she's pregnant. did you know they can get pregnant at 6 mos.? my mom was telling me about this, and being that she squirmed out of the garage the other day. we're pretty sure she's been 'had' cats are worse than humans when they reach sexual maturity. it's scarey really. so perhaps we'll have kittens soon. i hope not tho,she's still too much of a baby in my opinion. her name is TC. =trasch can. she eats everything including chupa chups those lolipops from mexico i believe or spain.either way they are of hispanic descent. ok this is utterly mindless and stupid. it's just I have not idea what to do with myself its almost 10 in the morning i don't have to work, i don't have school, and I'M AWAKE! but i'm still to tired to go to some rock climbing.sigh. perhaps i'll surreneder to the boob toob(no pun inteneded) ciao bella iris i envy you. and your ignorance I hear that it's bliss. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)missprint.org".

Sinister: He wishes for the Cloths of Heaven
by Alexander Borgia 20 Jan '00

20 Jan '00

[Sounds of Isobel playing cello and Sarah playing violin] Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Erwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths, Of light and light and the half light, I would spread the cloths under your feet; But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams. [harp sounds] [abrupt stop] We interrupt this e-mail to bring you a special feature...... [theme song from 2001 A Space Odyssey - then deep resonant voice] Welcome to Sini-Crush 2000. Your weekly update on the Crush list watch. [cue announcer] I must say there has been an interesting glut of e-mails over the last few days. Crush, crush, crush......smirk. Would you look at some of the campaigning going on? It's shaping up to be a fine race. The most interesting move this week came today from Miss Honey. Now would you look at the e-mail that came today.... honey(a)missprint.org wrote: > <humourless interlude> > > The only one allowed to talk about list content on the list is > me, because I'm mummy. > Don't hate me. > Here we see a the exertion of authority which has sent shivers down everyone's spine and inspired one person to cast their vote for Miss Honey. Now we aren't sure and we have our technical team confirming this, but it appears that the vote for Miss Honey had been originally cast for someone else and that vote was changed. What is astonishing i that Miss Honey is using authority as a sexual device to garner the vote. We were originally going to focus on the tie between Laura Llew and another listee, but it appears as though Laura is in first place. We won't mention the other person's name to protect their broken heart. Here we can see why Laura is in first place on the list.....

Notice all of the long phallus shaped letters used in the messages? Yes, and notice how the message contains the sexual innuendo .....Sex sells. And we are seeing it working here in this campaign. Next we see Ellen trying to obtain the sympathy vote. So far it hasn't worked to her advantage. Ellen wrote: > > list-crush votes: i'll never have one. sad but true. (come on, prove > me > wrong..) ; ) And then we see it again as a strategy and it isn't working here either. I think we can safely assume that this strategy is not a good one. ipecac spice wrote: > > sorry for bothering you all with so many posts lately. i have this > secret > hope that if i keep posting eventually someone will give me a list > crush > vote. then again people would probably be more likely to vote for me > if i > agreed to stop posting. i wonder if you get notfied of the crush if > you > vote for yourself...hmmm... [commercial interruption] "I survived Sini-Crush 2000" Get your T-shirts now. We have a limited stock of them so don't delay. One size fits none. Available colours are black with black writing. Prices include shipping and handling... US Dollars: 700.00 UK Pounds: 9.00 CDN Dollars: 24.99 +PST +GST +THIS_ST +THAT_ST +ANOTHER_ST EUROS: However many you send. [end commercial interruption] [cue announcer] In other developments.... We have also seen a mention from Kerry about her breasts, this too doesn't seem to work for garner votes. Perhaps had the photograph been in colour. Erica mentions Kate Moss. Erica also sends in her campaign photo and it is wonderful. It truly is a great image and both the subject and photographer are to be commended. Perhaps a movement should be started to have Erica as the cover for the next B&S release....it could probably look like this..... http://www3.sympatico.ca/alexander.borgia/honey/newrelease.jpg I am sure we will see some voting activities in Erica's corner in the next few days. Particularly if we hear more stories of knee sittings. So far, we haven't seen any strategies that are trying to purchase votes. Can we expect free toasters and 8 piece Joseph and Mary steak knife sets, with potato peelers and Ghinsu razor blades as added bonuses? How about the limited time free t.v. offer like the Craftmatic Adjustable Bed people, which, has been going on for what seems to be my entire life. What will the future bring us in the way of daring campaign strategies? I do think we will see more people insinuating that they "put out." That factor has always seemed to have a positive effect on voting. Well, that's it for this issue of Sini-Crush 2000.....

Sinister: (No Subject)
by Curtis Heath 20 Jan '00

I profusely apologize, especially to Tiago, for my pissy mood. Some things I take too seriously. The need to stir things up was too powerful... to keep it from getting stale in here- These days I delete most posts about quarter of the way through. Why not unsubscribe? Because I love Belle and Sebastian and I crave the old Sinisterlist days where every post was savored for its wit, controversy, and, most of all, pertinent content.

Sinister: Empty Boxes (*)
by David Moore 20 Jan '00

20 Jan '00

Hi Verbose Ones, re the box set (I too read Miss Scarlet's mail as saying "box sex", but perhaps an easy mistake to make, when I was still troubled by the thought of Martin Robinson with a bush up his nose, or was it his nose in a bush?) Anyway, I find myself in the extremely strange position of defending Beepster Universal against accusations of perpetrating a cynical marketing ploy to make us, the, er, kids buy the ep's *again* to get the box set for the sake of completeness: I think I remember a top Jeepster executive writing somewhere recently that you can buy the empty box separately, dead cheap like. Which would mean that you could put the ep's you already own inside it, & then put the box back on a shelf amongst a load of other CD's, & then not really be able to see its there. Which is cool. Just for the sake of balance :) Welcome back Mr Leonard, lovely to hear from you again. Did you watch any Japanese movies on TV over Christmas? Regards, David Moore Chelmsford, UK (*) that won't be anyone on the Sinister list, then :) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)missprint.org".

Sinister: Knock, knock
by Reid Dossinger 20 Jan '00

20 Jan '00

Hello-oo?! Oh, Christ! I leave you people alone for five seconds and look at the trouble you get into. Well, anyway, I just thought I'd drop by and scrape off a few pieces of my mind. Hands up if you're going to buy that slip case for the LLPJ Super Deluxx Boxx Set. Yeah, me too. I'm a sucker that way. Does anyone feel that since the Jeepster/Keebler corporate merger that said Brit record company has slid just a teensy tiny bit down the slippery slope of not giving a shit about the fans? What's wrong with simply re-issuing the EP's? But I'm sure you've already been discussing this and I just didn't notice. Are there really still people in the world who like to argue over what is and is not art? Aside from Rudy Giuliani and that otherwise pleasant looking old man who threw white paint on the dunged Virgin Mary, that is. Wow. Are there really still people in the world who argue that it's weird to like breasts just because they're "just two blobs of flesh"? A face is just a bunch of goddamn skin stretched over bone, hair is just a bunch of fucking shit growing out of your skull, but no one questions you up and down when you find a face or some hair attractive. Not that I really care that much. I just wanted to swear pointlessly. Yeah, talk about kickball all you want, but did any of you play matball? It's like kickball, but you play it over the full length of the gym, and the bases are those giant gray gym mats. You can put as many people as can fit on one base, and then you all run at once, which means, of course, the slowest get the shit beat out of them with those damn red rubber balls that still conjure nightmares. I guess it was meant to teach us some sort of survival-of-the-fittest, the-weak-get-eaten-first sort of lesson, but I'm still weak and have yet to be eaten. I watched the Magic Roundabout when I was a kid, putting me in the 10% nation. So anyway, I was just popping by. Please, enjoy this plate of lemon squares and I'll be back again later on. Stay out of trouble, yo. A real 'wait and see' moment, Reid ps.
