by The Twee Bunny 08 Nov '00

08 Nov '00

Hi there. *mwah* *mwah* *mwah* After sitting alone playing with my cuuuuuute little building blocks in the nursery, I finally have a voice all of my very own. I'm so happy I could just *skip!* Now to introduce meself: I'm the TWEEBUNNY!!! Yay! Excitably cute in all social circles. Even posh ones. Although I don't like any of those funny horse derves. Unless they're made of carrot of course! I love to hope around with my other bunny friends and generally have a nice time all round. Hugs are always welcome. Content? I harassed Chris Geddes last week. Didn't mean to. I stood on his toe and turned around to apologise and he was cowering away. Aww, cuuuute! See y'all sooooooon :) :) :) ===== *******-- The Twee Bunny --******** *- Tweenybopping since Tigermilk -* ********- *kiss* *kiss* -********** ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: the language of love and the love of languages
by Arantxa Sanz 08 Nov '00

08 Nov '00

FYHCywlkap never gave me any impressively good vibes.From the distance,it was the sitar;looking more closely,the season,the place, being distinguished in the background of some smoky room, some other drunken party , it was not a good start for what it was.I was hearing but not listening. Nico's husky phrasing keeps me company again in my mind,not need to be played, but I play IFYAS again instead.I ignored tweeness as a concept when I first found it and only spoke love tongues.It would have never been branded with the closest translation I come up with. Playing the game of choosing somebody else's (public) lives to be lived instead of mine, I would not have minded taking Clare Wadd's place. Or at least to write how she writes,because the stuff our streams of consciousness seem to have a lot in common,only that she knows how to put it nicely and beautifully.If anyone out there still has the time or the fancy,please read Tangents every month,or every now and then.It will be your good action of the day. My students are not particularly smart,though most of them are quite lovable.They trust computers,codes,formulae;it goes beyond trust,they believe in them with a faith that goes too far to be smart.However,I am someone else's student as well, and don't think he would regard me as smart exactly. He thinks I am lazy,disinterested,unfocused,volatile. Femenine as its worst.But he is somehow the disciple of someone else.And this last one, who will perhaps make it to the short list of Nobel Prizes some day,lost his most brilliant student ( a she,by the way) to the industry of entertainment. Sincerely (honestly I mean) yours Arantxa +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Jeepster? Where did it all go wrong?
by Lawrence Mikkelsen 08 Nov '00

08 Nov '00

Sorry for snding this short bitter little rants so often lately, but I left this part out of yesterdays post by mistake. ***JEEPSTER*** ***WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG?*** Remember when subscribing to Jeepster news meant that you used to get news about new B&S related stuff *before* you read it in the NME? (As opposed to, say two weeks afterwards, like I got about the Christmas album. And no news at all about new Gentle Waves stuff) So today, it being AFTER the release date of said Gentle Waves items, I went online to order them. And they're not listed in the mail order shop on the site. I mean, for heaven's sake, they were in todays "New Music at CD Now" spam e-mail letter I get every week. I have no idea how a once incredibly efficient and user friendly site/label has seemingly become so uncommunicative and unhelpful over the last six months. Not being able to pre-order forthcoming releases is extremely inconvenient, especially if you live on the other side of the world and would like to get your stuff reasonably close to it's actual UK release date .... I actually wrote an essay for my Tech course last year, all about how wonderful Jeepster was, as an example of the great things indie labels can do on the web by making it easy for their overseas fans to by their records quickly. So now I may have to sell my soul and by the new Gentle Waves CDs, and "It's a Cool Cool Christmas" off some big multinational. I'm really sorry, Jeepster ... I always swore I'd support indie labels, but jeepers!, you've got to make the CDs available, right? Signing off .....

Sinister: Does he mean what he says when he says what he means?
by Youn J. Noh 08 Nov '00

08 Nov '00

I love how 'just' is ambiguous in this line: It's just we feel she gets distracted. PF, if you ever read this, could you please tell us what you meant? I love the ambiguity of 'too' in these lines: I'm not too proud to say that I'm okay with The girl next door who's famous for showing her chest (Let's say the sung version is authentic.) Stuart, if you ever read this, could you please tell us what you meant? My students are smart. They saw that "The missionaries are too hot to eat" could mean that they are too hot to be eaten. And some of them even laughed. That was very kind of them. How can I complain, unless I work twice as hard as I do now? I would bet that Peter Miller is not at all like the photo of him in the sinister pages. He must be properly English, i.e. pale, to wear a pink shirt! Then we could sympathize with his suffering in a foreign clime. I can't wait to hear Suburban Light! Yours truly with love and affection, Youn +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: on the one day we were young
by P F 07 Nov '00

07 Nov '00

I felt I ought to reply to PJ Miller. He's as lonely as a log, or something. I think that's what he said. No wonder he's lonely, few folks seem to answer what he says. Perhaps they can't read Spanish. It's the loving tongue, but she never spoke it, ni, poked it, to me. >>>Sorry to hear about Nick Drake being dead. Let's hope he gets well soon. >>>A couple of cider armadilloes and he'll be right as rain. What's that Campbell line - it will all be over when you're dead? I listened to TBWTAS for the first time in ages today. Feelings? 1998. September. Green. The old gone smells of the Poetry Café. But also, I found it hard to get sufficiently defamiliarized from the LP to enjoy it that much. In other words, I am surprised to say that, depite not having heard it in a while, I perhaps need to go a still longer while before I hear it again. I think I would react differently to FYHCYWLAP. I have a strangely good vibe about that record. It's really odd how things turn out, as Eugene Debs once remarked. >>>I suppose it might grow on me, but I'm not going to give it a chance. This is nicely put. >>>We went over 24 hours without a post, surely a record? I blame weblogs. I know you do. Whatever they may be. But I am touched at the attentiveness with which you scan these things. *Someone* has to keep bothering. >>>Me and Jordi 'Cruyff', if you please. >>>Is it Gentle Waves release day? That should keep the list busy for an >>>hour or two. Or at least it would have done in the past. The past, the past. Did we really all live there once? Or do we still? >>>Have a great time in New York, Steve. Don't forget to go and see that >>>picture of The Foxgloves in action. Action is our middle name. We have to share it. That's why we still haven't got much action to go round. >>>Obviously you'll have to clamber over the swooning lumberjacks to get to >>>it. If you hear someone shout "TIMBER!!!" get out of the way sharpish, or >>>one might fall on you and you'll have to spend the rest of your holiday >>>underneath a lumberjack. It's funny (in two senses) that you should say this, cos it's all true. Just wait till you see Papercuts V: Caleb's Legacy. (Are you in it, by the way? I hope so.) >>>And somehow that really impressed me. Aw. By the way, ! !! !!!

Sinister: it's all richard bransons fault
by Jules Markham 07 Nov '00

07 Nov '00

hey little sinister people, this is a mail via the lovely mikey as I havent got access to my own computer at the moment. I'm stranded in sheffield at the moment, as my town is currently flooded, and the trains are cancelled indefinatly. I personally blame richard branson, he cant get a bloody balloon across the atlanic, so why the hell did he get his own train company?!! Why am I telling you all this? Because some of you sinister people have asked me for copies of 'raindogs', the black fox fables book, but I've been unable to send them, being 200 miles from home and all that. So apologies, but I wont be able to send them out until I get back, which will be in a few more days (hopefully!) so sorry, it's all richard bransons fault, blame him (the hairy little gobshite!) well, must go now. I've promised to cook mikey something exciting with vegetables, no particular reason why- I just love him to bits!!!!! see you soon! jules (ps. honey-I got me a sinister boy, fnaaaar!)

Sinister: Did you see Newsround
by Mwng 07 Nov '00

07 Nov '00

Most amusing. They had that black guy reporting from the Millinium Dome and the attempted heist of those diamonds. There was a problem and there was no sound except for the woman in the control room. You could hear her sighing and then say 'Shit', just then the report ended and some hastley improv coverage on the US election. some bloke with a doll, wrapped up in the stars and stripes. I don't understand. Anyway, is there anyone here that is currently attending or has attended The University of Westminster. I know this is list abuse but I'd like to know about it 'cause it's possibly the next three years of my life. If you have/are there, please mail me privatly.

Sinister: jen jen jen sbragia!

On 3 Nov 2000, at 10:04, Jason McKinnon muttered into a little tape recorder: > Ian, > > Back in the early 90's (like that's a long time ago!), I was living in the > Northwestern Part of the U.S. in Oregon to be precise.

(i hope i got my brit-slang right...) jen sbragia is great. it's especially grate to say "sbragia".

Marty wrote: >B & S content, 'Legal Man' filled the floor at 'The Pill'. Why does things like that just never happen here in Sweden? I must be born in wrong part of the world or something..darn.. Well, probably because B&S has not yet visited sweden. People here looks like questionmarks when asking if they've ever heard Belle & Sebastian. So, I've made it my mission to influence people in listening to them(which means that "le pastie.." is played at least four times whenever there is a party at my place). /Rikard, from the retarded city of Stockholm where the people haven't discovered the greatness of B&S. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Cheers to Mike, Taryn, Kev (ta for the cd and the cynicism), Poth (cynicism also worth a mention), Tanya (ta for the CD), Dan (cheers for the Battle of the Planets viewing - awesome!!). Thanks to Mr. Damon Gough for confusing and entertaining us all in equal measure. Thanks to Libby for keeping me warm at night(!) And finally, huge slobbery soppy wet kisses and hugs to MARCY, you're an absolute STAR! B & S content, 'Legal Man' filled the floor at 'The Pill'. Belated thanks also to BRIAN for babysitting / overseeing our recent NYC invasion...your patience knows no bounds my friend..... _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
