Sinister: last night i dreamt that somebody loved me
by Ola Szkudlapska 20 Nov '00

20 Nov '00

no, that wasn't last night actually. that was a few days back. last night i dreamt i had invented an ansafaxacomputer-cum-mobile-and-printer (well, a very modern bit of technology anyway). i was just about to patent my brilliant invention, make huge profits, move to the uk and live happily ever after when (damn!) i woke up. isn't it so typical? right, hello lovely lot :) it would seem that, after months of lurking, i've set myself a goal to become the list's most prolific writer. but fear not. this hyperactivity of mine is bound to wear off soon. some headings now: ***new adventures in virus-land (Honey is my Hero :)*** grr. a few days ago honey made me realise that my computer had been infected with a virus. luckily when i last posted his computer intercepted the infected file and it didn't harm *your* computers. phew! i would feel so bad otherwise. if i did pass the bloody virus in private mails to any of you, i'm very sorry. you can kick me when we meet. ;) for the time being, though, Honey - you're my Hero :) *hug* /fanfares enter /cheering and stuff :) ***heading 2*** ok, i admit, i didn't want to go to school today. i had wanted to be taken ill or something. but *cough* a common cold would be enough! why do i get aa annoying angina all of a sudden? grr. still i suppose that not seeing my fat stupid polish teacher is brilliant enough to forget about the headache, sore throat and runny nose. :) before you start feeling pity for me, though, let me list the fine artists visiting poland this autumn: HIM, apocalyptica, marilyn manson, queens of the stone age, soulfly, other metal bands + some punk bands. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh now you may pity me. ;) ***mission possible?*** there's this nice guy olivier on the list. despite his obvious nice-ness he's never posted! why oh why?! so this goes out to all of you - if you meet him in the chatroom or whatever, try to convince him to finally post something. :) or i'll die of curiosity :)) right, this mail is farr too nonsense anyway, so i'll stop here. hugs to all of you :) ola +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: The greedy ugly people are not like us...they're a bit like my date though
by JENOWL22＠aol.com 19 Nov '00

19 Nov '00

Hewwo, As you can tell from my subject line, my date didn't go very well. She decided that we weren't going to the pictures after all. So we went to a coffee shop, after walking around for a bit, and she asked me what music I like and I said "Belle and Sebastian" and she said it wasn't going to work out because she can't speak to anyone who isn't a rocker, and she said that I was a witch, and that I would have been burnt 500 years ago, and that I was too accomodating and I had no personality, and that I was a goth and a freak (because I was drinking herbal tea) and she didn't like my star on my cheek. And then she said "This hasn't been very good", and I said "No. No, it hasn't". And we sat in silence for a bit. And then I grabbed my bag and ran for it. Literally. But I didn't mean the part about her being greedy and ugly. She wasn't greedy, and she wasn;t ugly at all. But I was listening to that song when I was starting out the post. Today i decided I was going to go on one of my adventures. I decided to go into the forest and make friends with the trees. I saw lots of beer cans littered about, which made me sad, because the forest is a sacred place, where the neds should have respect for the trees. But I did meet some nice trees. You know when you say hi to a tree, and talk to it for a bit, then just stand there, and you get a warm fuzzy burst of energy all through you, and it makes your fingertips tingle? That's a tree way of saying hi back. Trees have souls. They're much nicer than humans. You shouldn't ever break a branch off a tree, or climb it without asking it first. It'll always let you but it's polite to ask. And if you hurt a tree you should always say sorry to it. Or it might be sad. Because trees are magical. I think that the next time I go to talk to trees, I will bring my walkman with B&S in it. So that the trees can listen. Now everyone on sinister thinks I'm insane because I think trees can feel. Oh well...

Sinister: too much mongol business
by keith mclachlan 19 Nov '00

19 Nov '00

i forget who said these things so i apologize now, actually the emails were read to me over the phone by my girlfriend to prove she really did have dsl. but radiohead are bores, not boars, it takes no measure of courage to release an album as listless and uninspired as kid a. it does require a massive level of arrogance though and i think thommy really believes he is a genius, how else could he endorse the nonsense on kid that sounds cutting edge say circa apple IIe. this is just my opinion sure, everyone else loves radiohead and i accept that. i liked fake plastic trees, why don't they write songs anymore? i am too rigidly mired in the old fashion world i suppose. and modest mouse and shellac bring to mind this strange american(me being an american and all) compulsion to consider anything that doesn't 'rawk' as boring when in fact it is usually the opposite. music for my ears speaks louder when you are not being clubbed over the head, besides modest mouse do not rock they are the grimiest, sludgiest, most slowfooted band ever created and where is the wit? it isn't there. shellac/big black are too smart for me because i don't get them either. sorry for clogging up the list with this, but then dialogue should be encouraged i think. i sorta think my tastes are so far divergent from everyone else on the list based on the content of a lot of the posts. but i could be wrong. of course, i bet if i said bad things about tom waits i would see a counter right away, so i will not. if pitchfork don't get paid why do they charge 300 dollars a month for their ads? for charity? i am sure they get records sent to them free of charge. there is very little variety among the reviewer's tastes and i think i'd like to see them use people who have more specialized tastes rather than the generic 'indie rawk' tag and allow them to flex their muscles in their respective fields. last year at this time i was going to go to kansas city to see the lucksmiths and this year detroit and outrageous cherry? blah. oh and i think the ice age is over. keith m also, sorry for saying skynyrd were from alabama must be that 'sweet home alabama' thing. elf power are nearly as dreadful though, and nearly alabaman as you say. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: rin-tin-tin and a bottle of gin
by lisa morrison 18 Nov '00

18 Nov '00

under the covers speaking to a sinister friend who commented on my being the "dominatrix of the list" and i'm always on cue...cracked my whip just then and adjusted my garters...hitched my thigh-highs, tossed jet black hair back and lip-bit for a brief pose...then its back to more hot wax and dungeon chainings... pardon me please for living up to my self appointed status. but i will remain on pedestal until someone knocks me down... like gladiators but with porn stars instead of body builders... someone (name escapes me) composed a freestylin' ditty... and we all know lisa and her ditty-ing about...chance to hog the mic and move my hips like a playground swing...the kind parents tell their children not to play on b/c it seems to be twisting about and perhaps a little loose around its bearings... so i set one foot on stage all red maryjaned...and spot-light on me...i don't even squint...: when i was two my mother nursed me on gin and tonic that's why i smoke chronic and call myself "quadrophonic" i breakdance with in my hotpants and do the disco fever then i rush on home to.... watch ...leave it to beaver...(???) yeah so i can't freestyle but i can dance...least i've got that under my belt and perhaps more from the looks of the crush list... what?-and you thought i could go without mentioning it? (pish) like me passing a mirror and not sneaking a peek... and lisa has a wicked belt collection...shiney red today and in rather katty fashion...so doll, you'll be the hippest of the hip beneath my belt, have no fear...the green snakeskin is especially hip as well...i can't help but imagine wearing a boa constrictor about my waist although that would not nearly be as fashionable (who said anything about practical)... enough. leaving you once more starving for content... and being yr i-deal... -l.......ydia i.......ntrapersonal s.......ex-goddess of the western hemishpere a.......ttache (bring me a round of portobellas and a bottle of coors lite) _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Sinister: back in to the folded hands
by robert smith 17 Nov '00

17 Nov '00

Hello boys & girls, this is to rather announce some sort of return by me from lurker land (how vogue of me). i'm not very many of you have noticed that i've been gone but don't feel bad it just tempory memory loss, because as keith so kindly rminded us, we brits have such frightfully sort memories.... but you jolly foreigners have no excuse.... so then reasons for being away, everything has been pretty ghastly of late but i wont tell you all about them because i'm scared of being called a whinger. and i'm sure that reaally i have no right to waste your time by making your shoulders wet. just suffice to say i was drinking and smoking far to much to safely use a keyboard. however, every cloud has a pot of gold. or something like that and things seem far more tolerable now. :D *obligatory bit saying 'B+S content'* today at uni we had what could be the most unorganised fire drill i have ever seen. three students nearly burned to death and there wasn't even a real fire. anyway, the whole time i was listening to lazyline painter jane but i couldn't help thinking 'you will have a fire tonight'. i hope its not an omen...... I DON'T BELIEVE IN OMEN'S! i'm going to sodastream tomorrow so i shall be officially back in circulation. beware*...... anyway TTFN robert 'not drunk honest officer' smith *we need more wares _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Sinister: Toodle pip
by JENOWL22＠aol.com 17 Nov '00

17 Nov '00

Hewwo, Hey, d'you remember when that boy threw the stone at my head and I was unconscious and everyone said 'oh that's a shame'? Well, this is funny. In an ironic sort of way. He sent me a sorry card and chocolates. How odd is that? He got one of my teachers to give me them, and the card was very pretty and it said sorry that he was mean to me all the time and he wouldn't ever be like that and my friend ate all the chocolates. But I think his mum must have made him. But it was very nice still, though I was really embarassed. Would this be a hard kid breakthrough? Is anyone going to the Gentle Waves gig in Glasgow on Sunday? I'm sorry if someone said that they were because I missed it. So please e mail me if you are. Because I might be if I'm not all on my own. I have a date on Saturday. With a girl called Gillian. But I've never had a date with a girl before and I've never had that many dates so I'm very worried and nervous. My friends are very pleased for me, except the ones I kiss sometimes, because she has big breasts, but I'm just worried that she won't show up, because I'm not actually sure why she wants to be going on a date with me, since she is very pretty and cool and ace and I'm not. When you go on a date where there's two girls, who pays? And do you hold hands even if people are going to yell "eww you're disgusting you're going to hell for being faggots" at you? And which is going to be the one that tells the other one that they look pretty even if they don't, and hold the doors open? It's all so confusing, my head is spinning. And I don't know what to wear. She's a greenday fan, she might laugh at me. I think Poupee De Cire should be the next b&s single. Because it is grate. I spent all of yesterday walking around with an "I am gay" sticker stuck to my back. I didn't know about it and no one told me or I'd have taken it off. The pen colour didn't go with my duffel coat :) Hugs, Jen +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Howling Christmas
by Mark Hester 17 Nov '00

17 Nov '00

"Christmas comes earlier each year" whingers are a perennial hazard. You know the type - people who insist that it is obscene that the deccies in the shops appear in early or mid-November and maintain that they can remember when it Didn't Used To Happen. Get real! It's happened for as long as I can remember and probably a lot longer than that. This is of course completely different from the wholesome practice of students having two Christmases, at the end of term and the conventional time, or indeed the tinsel and Christmas tress adorning the stage at the Spearmint gig last night. It was quite touching, with a bank of fairy lights as a backdrop to add that touch of glam. Somebody proceeded to scatter polystyrene snow from a polystyrene cup over each band member in turn. Little did I imagine when my dumbstruck department was transfixed by the giant hailstones falling over Harcourt Hill that morning that it was merely a precursor of yet stranger precipitation. Shirley didnt merely address the audience, at one point he was *in* the audience, walking up to people and singing to them in turn, which was nice. And the songs...."Were Going Out", "Oklahoma", "You are Still my Brother". Amazing. Have you noticed how people are casting the net a little wider when selecting where to go for the work Christmas bash? We, for example, are going to a Thai restaurant. It's encouraging to see people who normally whine "How about something *different* from the *same old* turkey this year?!" actually doing something about it. So now we'll see the "Christmas comes earlier each year" brigade rampaging through our department stores, trashing tinsel and pummelling the cloned Santas. Maybe. Looking forward to Sodastream tomorrow.... Mark. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Sinister: the wreck of the ella fitzgerald
by keith mclachlan 17 Nov '00

17 Nov '00

yes by the title of my post it is obvious that at last my copy of sex clark five's 'crimson panzer' has arrived, sigh, so magnificent. how could something this marvelous have been born in alabama? am i wrong to think that skynryd is archetypal alabaman fare? are there any alabamans on the list? john peel played nearly the whole sc5 record a few months or actually many months back and i didn't actually hear it but i saw it on a playlist and of course tht was the first i knew of a new record and the beginning of my quest. and then last evening after listening four times in succession the evening before i settled in for the napoleon documentary and thought of all of the history lessons in sex clark five(the new album has loads) and i thought of the limits of cleverness in a pop star, the maximum amount of clever you are allowed to have before you are too clever to be famous. maybe a pop scientist will devote a dissertation to this subject. pitchfork reviewed the gentle waves album and predictably trashed it, i laugh at their claim to professionalism. i am anxiously awaiting their best of the year list with nonrepentant bores like shellac, modest mouse and radiohead riding high. steve albini is quoted on the vh-1 special on hard rock saying good things about king crimson(is this arch?). my girlfriend has the gentle waves record but i have yet to hear it, i quite liked the first one, loads better than those looper grebos. someone forwarded me a distressing bit of spam about america having its constitution revoked and the return on monarchial rule over the former colonies and it was terribly smug and derisive and shallow and off putting. apparently not knowing the difference between an australian accent and english accent is reason for death or something near to that. it is always a surprise to me how a country once in america's current global role has developed a severe case of short term memory. anyhow. didn't william daly once have a full head of hair? has he been undergoing chemotherapy in between trying to get out the vote in cemeteries all over palm beach county? davey butler for secretary of state. the new girl sc5 singer is fab too. and april 10th is the date for the new of montreal record:) my dream tour is sc5 and of montreal. why do all of the cool bands go to london instead of denver, colorado? we have lovely views you know. keith m __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hey sini-brothers and sinisisters. how goes the fight. Anyone in the US will agree that we're inundated with jokes about Florida, the election and the presidency.. ah. Hurm. If only I could work in europe. any one wanna let me borrow 1.749 million dollars? E-bay is auctioning off an Scottish estate, it *is* in aberdeenshire so I think that's why the asking price is so low :) just kiddin'......kinda. I've never been able to decipher who my list crush was. Ah well. that's okay. I appreciate the vote of confidence as it is. Hmmm.. B&S content. I listened to FYHCYWLAP yesterday, twice. that's about all I've got. Sadly I don't have classes with chris or share pints with stuart.. I had to respond to keith mclachlan who said: > >pitchfork reviewed the gentle waves album and >predictably trashed it, i laugh at their claim to >professionalism. They don't really claim to be professional. They write about what they want. Their claims of professionality stem from the fact that a bunch of 20-something slackers run the site, don't get paid but have the new update everyday. Be nice. They're very nice people. i am anxiously awaiting their best >of the year list with nonrepentant bores like shellac, >modest mouse and radiohead riding high. I just can't let this go. Modest Mouse is one of the most interesting and intelligent bands to come round in a long time. (I don't think any fan of B&S has the right to call ANY band boring I mean I love them cause they're beautiful and witty but they're pretty slow and unexciting)And Shellac flat-out rock. it's nice to turn up your speakers once in a while and when you do it's good to have a band that's as talented as Shellac rockin' out rather then having to listen to Staind or Korn, for years i wouldn't rock out cause I didn't like those ignorant bands.. then I found the Archers of Loaf, Seam, Shellac, Unwound, loud doesn't always = bad. Again it helps with Shellac that they're smarty pants too... and I wouldn't be so quick to take the piss out of radiohead. how many bands do you know that have sold millions and millions of records have then put out a record like KidA. It's boring yeah, but it's very noncommercial and certainly not what a large majority of their "fans" would expect or want.... Now if you meant to say boors when then I wouldn't argue too too much. :) but really that's the best part about music it's all so subjective! ah. pleasant day to everyone. jb _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Sinister: if time-space is an spiral, and perms are back ...
by Arantxa Sanz 17 Nov '00

17 Nov '00

BigStu came back from down under and said : 'Hefner aren't Scottish'. But they were FUN. As sex on the floor,and high heel mules and Sussex cream teas. Well, I am afraid the grandness of crema teas is to blame for not having done my homework back in 1999 and missed Sodastream, for which I cannot apreciate and nod along with the Masters in their own grandness. On my first encounter with Darren H., however, I behaved pretty badly,pretty Hefnerish.And don't think about frolicking on carpets this time,my smutty ones.More about adopting a sulky expression and crossing my arms in a very annoying, given its accuracy,impersonation of those 1D heroines who usually adorn their covers, minus the extra-long sexy limbs.The consequences were even more Hefnerish,think about whatever you want now.Oh,I might have adopted my moods only to live a song.Indie girl once, always an indie girl. >From one to two (D's, and not about bras) , the very own Ms Mc Arthur came back from her Charts exile and said : 'I think in 2-D, and so the only thing that could wear the damn thing could be a cardboard cut-out of myself. I might make one'. Blimey.I would be so lucky if 3D were repealed.Giving up an A-level in Design seemed to be the definitive solution to the real,solid world,but alas, nine years later,it seems that ultraempowered multimedia x-y-z backlash is unescapable and any path into the next future crosses it,as well as facing the frightening universe of sleek dressed geeks talking warmly and endlessly about their Indigo Macs as old ladies in Middle England do about their gardenias.I'd rather choose a career in vintage simulation,that is, going back to homemade cut-outs. 'If you are not jumping,you are a Belle and Sebastian fan'...Darren,c'mon. x Arantxa +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
