Sinister: Aye, Nokia war
by Kenneth P Y Chu 02 Nov '00

02 Nov '00

Hello, Yeah mobile phones, I think the people who worship them are rather silly, cos, like they're not really that good are they... but then I don't think I hate the mobile either, otherwise I wouldn't have one for a start, and it's cheaper than having a phone on our campus with an NTL monopoly. I don't think having phones ringing is such a bad thing, it reminds me that I may well have some friends, afterall.. and a phone is like the best thing that you'd ever have if you are looking for someone's house, and you get lost. Then there is of course text messaging.. sending little bits of text to your friends and get lovely replies back that makes you curl up and smile, no longer are long coach journeys and lectures a pain. Also, if your phone does WAP, the adorable and clever princess honey has "wapped up" the sinister site, so you can read the most recent sinister mail on the move! So even if you are away from your computer you can check out what some cute Chinese guy in Nottingham is up to, for example... :) Anyway the "wapsite" address is http://www.missprint.org/sinister/wap surprisingly :) Finally if you live in Europe and if you ever fancied composing your own ring tone but your phone doesn't do it... you can do it on www.iobox.com, you have to sign up and they give you 30 credits for free, and it costs 4 credits each time you send one... but they have a nice java applet thing that lets you compose your favourite b&s song. I have just beaten my own record for bowling today, so I am quite happy.. just thought I'd share :) Bowling Pins and Red Bulls Ken ====================================================================== but if you're feeling sinister, go off and see a minister he'll try in vein to take away the pain of being a hopeless unbeliever - Belle & Sebastian +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: buses, b&s, and my gender identity crisis
by Kimberly Rehak 01 Nov '00

01 Nov '00

boo, i'm trying to decide if i'm having a good or a bad morning so far. maybe someone can help me out: 1 mum drives me to the busstop since i'm late (as usual) and informs me that i must be having a gender identity crisis because i didn't dry my hair this morning (no time, again) and i had my hands in my pocket "like a boy". i could go on and on about the things she said but i'll just leave it at that-the g-g-g-gist. 1.5 cried for 15 minutes at busstop/busride. 2 beautiful boy on the bus keeps staring at me whilst we are in transit. 3 freaky man with the hearing aids who looks like a child molester sits beside me and also keeps looking at me. 3.5 am listening to b&s for the first time in a Really long time. 4 now i'm at work and i just spilled coffee all over me. <sigh> i don't know what to do. hello to everyone new and old and to those who cry on buses (like me) and to those in germany (like me soon) and to those who dry their hairs in the morning (who are so much better than me-ha!) and to those going to beantown today. xo, kimmy +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: pumpkin pie
by Amy Jackson 31 Oct '00

31 Oct '00

hi, i feel much better than i did in my last post, i went home for the weekend, and it turned out that the doctors had got it wrong about my grandpa. oh joy. so it turns out that he's not dying after all, he's gonna be fine, he just needs more tests done and some rest. my gran is raging, i can see a negligence case coming up ahead... i still hate uni. went out last night to the 13th note with my room mate lorna, diane our friend from upstairs, ally96 and juicy lucy. she's stranded in glasgow y'know, cos of trains and stuff. we ate spicy chips, did graffiti on the toilet wall again and it was a grate night. have you noticed how cold it's got lately? i keep feeling as if it's gonna snow or something. i wish it would, i love the snow. we could have a sinister snowball fight in a park somewhere, that would be cool. cos i live by the sea, we don't normally get a lot of snow cos the sea salt melts it. does glasgow get a lot of snow? there are loads of barnardos people lining sauchiehaall street, asking for money. coming home from uni is like running a gauntlet. it's not that i'm not generous, but can't they see i'm a student, they should be helping me, not trying to get money out of me! sorry, that wasn't very nice. miss owl has been a bit quiet lately, i hope she's okay... spent to much money on cd's and a new mobile phone last week. i'm a disgrace. on that note, i better go, hugs, amy xxx _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Sinister: Just Wanky Wank
by Sam Walton 31 Oct '00

31 Oct '00

Hello everybody, I'm becoming more and more of a lurker by the day on this list; I wish I wasn't. I wish I had more interesting things to say, like some of our more prolific posters. But, alas, I don't. Anyway, the point of this post is that in this month's Select magazine there is a nice article on Isobelle, and there is also a 'Top Ten' of 'Potential New Belle & Sebastian Song Title', which includes "Give Me Your Dentures, Vicar, I'm Sick Of Sucking On Biscuits", and "It's Not The Cough That Carries You Off, It's The Coffin They Carry You Off In". Tee, and indeed, hee. And it gives The Gentle Waves' album 3 blobs out of 5. But I can't comment on that because I haven't heard the record. I went to see BDB last night. I reckon that boy needs a good editor - he was on stage for two and half hours and played about an hour of good stuff. The rest was wank. Funny wank at times, but mostly just wanky wank. Anyway, enough of this nonsense. love Sam.x ========================================================== "Man, you wouldn't believe how much I cried When they took that little fella back into the sky I pleaded with my mum for it not to be true And she promised me they'd make an E.T.2" _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Sinister: pagans, auctions and sheep. and content.. ish.
by idleberry 31 Oct '00

31 Oct '00

hi there, PAGAN BIT happy hallowe'en. Today I learnt why Christian holidays coincide with Pagan ones. It was very interesting. Decided against carving pumpkins this year. Last year boyfriend and I carved one each, his with the mogwai Young Team logo on it, mine, with a cat sitting on the moon. Very apt. Then some kids came pestering at the door. This year, I don't think pumpkins would be safe. Not in my area. AUCTIONS I noticed that the auction has started. So far, there's a �65 bid for Stuart Murdoch to help folk write music and things. Blimey. I don't think I would personally bid for that. Cos I can make much better music without Stuart Murdoch's help, thankyou very much. I just need to find a way of communicating it to my talentless guitar. Then, you can all join my fan club. Might bid though for Gregory Pothier and his art painting thing. As far as I know, hes a very talented chap. My opinion? well, hes a hot tip. Not a bad painter either. ;-) Then I could give it to my gran. (She loves everything I do. The sun? its dull in comparrison to my bottom.) She really needs to replace that picture I drew when I was eleven of her dog being zapped into outerspace. I don't know what I would have offered. I thought about it, briefly, but the only talent I have is my boyfriend, and I'm not about to pimp him. I thought about pimping.. sorry, AUCTIONING.. my dream interpreting "skills". But I do that for just about anyone who asks what it means to find themselves riding up a mountainside on a white horse chasing a cat away, to the sound of untuned music, and in the middle of rain. I also considered being a shopping partner, carrying peoples bags and things. But that would involve patience. I don't have a talent. I have many. I'm waiting for my student loan to come through. Considering blowing it on hiring the services of another B+S fan for a day/whatever. But I don't think my parents would be too chuffed. I owe them my rent for my accomodation.. hmm.. parents.. auction, parents...auction... where to put the money.... Maybe I'll just go shopping instead and think about it in H+M. Student loan is totally pants this year. Wheres my money??! They're giving me a smaller slice of what I deserve. I don't understand how I am supposed to survive. Also, I definately would have bid for anyone offering to pamper me from a scalp massage to painting my toe nails for an evening. Scalp massages aren't as good when you have to do it yourself. I get sore arms. SHEEP fluffy white things that go Baa. Just a little fact for you, from the University of Easy Access (UEA for short) Back in Viking times, towards the end of Paganism, when runes were still in use, the Icelandic folk used to write on sheepskin. Could ythis be the origins of designer labelling? Sheep have a lot to answer for. Anyway, I shall leave it at that for now.

Sinister: dimatapp flavored popsicles!!
by Phillip Runion 31 Oct '00

31 Oct '00

if anything can take your mind off of things it is knowing that there will be a pair of light blue monkey gloves arriving by post in two days. i fell in love at first sight and kept on talking about them and finally my friend said, if you really like them that much, i'm going to order them for you. I'm already thinking of names for them. i'll have to wait until i'm holding them, or wearing them on my hands, of course, before actually deciding. i think one will be a girl and one will be a boy; identicle twins with the obvious exceptions. there is only one catch. i'm not sure that they will fit my hands as they are actually meant for girls, and are being ordered from the delia's catalogue. are girl gloves generally smaller than boy gloves? i think that they are. i hope they fit, even though i intend on making them fit, even if they don't.i can't wait! can anyone recommened a good book or web page that chronicles the role of women in film? I have to give an oral presentation on the subject, and though i am very fond of many female characters in many films, i'm not so sure that i could pigeonhole their contributions into a ten minute speech without some sort of guide lines. i've tried and ended up with very little to work with so far. i was a little put off after being assigned this topic, as the next one she handed out was "the impact that the british invasion made on the american music industry" about which i could speak on at length and without preperation at all. Que Sarrah. Why doesn't G.W. ever write anything to the list? in the words of the great Homer Simpson: "I demand satisfaction!" oh yeah, well i challenge you to a dual i accept your dual. you choose the weapon at 20 paces. sunrise tomorrow. Oh no! what am i going to do Marge? i guess you'll have to dual him homey. but i don't want satisfaction anymore. what am i doing? Content: Stuart is so encouraging in his note above the auction items. Very sweet and he leaves his typos. i had cats when i was a kid. phil r _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Sinister: The beaufort scale says 13! (English headlines)
by Martin Robinson 30 Oct '00

30 Oct '00

Sorry I was only beau gesting there in honour of Spinal Taps (I saw one of them on telly the other day and I don't think they're for me) but anyway...brrr.. it is a bit breezy or is just me? A bit of wind of the whole infrastructure collapses. What would Lord Palmerston say? He'd probably send gunboats to Greece, which wouldn't do anyone any good really. Ummm... Hello pumpkin heads, If anyone puts on gigs outside the metropolis of London in the fair windy isles of Great Britain and wants to help me can you email me and I'd be eternally grateful. Oh and if you think that's list abuse wait for this: LONDON! Saturday 4th November! 8:30 till late it's Strange Fruit Upstairs at the Garage with the wonderful TOMPAULIN and some other band I can't be arsed to hype called Copenhagen. ummm....!!!! That's better. To save a whole English pound sterling on entry on this musical extravaganza, which you can club together to buy ME drinks, go to: http://www.strange-fruit.co.uk/flyer/flyer.jpg (if you do check their website out try not to worry about the numerous mentions of off-kilter eclectica, it all comes out in the wash. There's also directions and stuff there but feel free to email me if you need even more info.) Then you get a fortnight off to recover before the the... 18th of November where there is a little soirée at London's finest, and in my humble opinion grandest venue, the Betsey Trottwood in Farringdon where they'll be bands and pop to keep you entertained into the early hours. But more of that later, just put it in your Hello Kitty diaries now... Oh and soon after that there's some Kindercore band fun in store for you. I'm too good to you aren't I? I wonder if I can get a listing in Smash Hits? As that would make me only a few steps away from Ronan Keating, and that's a few steps from god. I like the way he's predicted the storms here by dancing on a car in a flooded river in his video. Maybe he created the floods in a rage against our putting the Spice Girls back to number one sinning ways. Ronan I repent! Ummm.... doesn't it get dark early now. I wonder how that happened. Has anyone bid on the B&S auction site yet? I haven't got my registration details yet. Apparently the mimimum bid to go out for beers and pub games with my flatmates is £15. I think they've been priced out already. I'd pay good money if they'd clean up after themselves in the bathroom and do the washing up every once in a while, but I guess there isn't much chance of that eh?... Oh well better get that mop out then...
