Sinister: Ramblings
by Derek s 30 Nov '00

30 Nov '00

Hi all. I haven't posted in a while, but I'm bored so here I am. My main reason for posting was to ask if anyone on the list is interested in photography and if they could dispense any advice or tips to a fledgling artistic photographer. You can E-mail. Has anyone seen "Run Lola Run"? I watched it for about the eighth time last night and was re-amazed all over again. OK, the other night I saw a little car drive by with a statue on top and advertisements for red bull all over it. What is this substance that I hear so much about? B&S--- I've experienced a B&S revival and have been listening to them more frequently again. Anyway, I've run out of pointless things to write so I'm going to go. Ta for now.

Sinister: Re: like a lady in the chamber, and another in the clip
by vodkabird＠gurlmail.com 29 Nov '00

29 Nov '00

Afternoon Pips and Squeaks, Now that Sinister has become like Cosmo's problem page (or maybe some torrid version of the Darwin Awards where those of us subscribing to that notion of keeping their distance from prospective pard'ners end up wallowing in a centimeter of their own shallow gene pool) I felt compelled to post in reply to the great gaggle of men with an opinion on this subject. On the whole, most birds are ever on the lookout for that elusive sperm donor (well most of my female friends seem to be) but some of us are quite happy to bimble through life without even thinking such things. The 'thrill of the chase' thing is a sad affair. Sometimes it just doesn't work out which is fairy nuff. But sometimes you blokies (lovely that you all are) are more guilty of this than we females. I have a penchant for blokesters who play somewhat hard to get, and can survive on their own without expecting you to pack up your B&S CD's (*content*) and sacrifice your hard drinking for a life of cleaning the cooker and tutting about toilet seats. I don't want to be a mummy! Anyway, that's enough from me for another two months. I can see that this won't help in the least, but you cannae say I didn't try. Oh and about the Cool Christmas CD. I feel that B&S were severely lumbered with the duff track. Still, they carried it off well methinks.

Sinister: Hey, what did you do with my pants?
by chris lampinen 29 Nov '00

29 Nov '00

Hi. My name is Christiaan and I justgotoutof the nursery and this is my first post and I'm reallyreallyreally excited. I hope you guys like me because I've been skimming the archives and you guys all seem radder than ripe tomatoes. No, inaccurate: you guys ARE radder than ripe tomatoes. I really hope I am accepted into your community. So! First off I just heard the new Christmas song. I think it's the best B&S track since "Waiting for the Sun to Rise," and that says it all, doesn't it? Now to the important stuff. My life! I need advice. It is crazy like a wild squirrel, and wild squirrels are crazy like turtles. Yeah? Yeah. So here's the scoop (pick a flavor): there are three people in my eye right now. Person number one is a boy. Let us call him 'Milkmaaid.' I am totally lusting over Milkmaaid. He is SO fucking hot that I can't believe it sometimes. However, I have two problems. 1) Milkmaaid is a boy. I am a girl-lover. So, how do I get to bat for his team without actually leaving my own? 2) Milkmaaid seems to not really exist. I've never really seen him...Except in mirrors. Is he maybe a ghost or something? This makes it extremely hard to get sweet luvins because, well, there is no body to grope. Anyway. I want a piece of Milkmaaid. Badly. But see, it gets more complicated... I have an unrequited crush on a girl. We shall call her, hm, say, Millkmaid. Millkmaid is super-mysterious. Who is this mystery girl who I pine for? Why do I pine for her at all? I think it has something to do with crocheting. Meelkmaid, who I will discuss in just seven seconds if you read at the correct rate and will hold your horses thankyouverymuch, also crochets. Hm. Another frightening simularity between the two: neither crochet for money. Yes, that's right-- free hookers. So I have a lustboy and a crushgirl. One, two. And that leaves Meelkmaid. Oh, Meelkmaid! Meelkmaid stayed with me for a week. We walked through the park kicking leaves, gazed at the steaming manholes in detroit (she LOVES the steaming manholes), watched movies about ballet and homosexuals, and dressed in each others clothing. You see where I am going, right? Yeah, I think I fell in love. In the comfort of my own home, no less. Whoops! Please don't yell at me! Sometimes I feel like I'm on a cloud and the onl-- No, not really. Although sometimes I have to pee really bad and I feel like I'm going to explode, which is kind of the same thing. Right? Now what do I do? Do I go for: -------------------------------------------------- a) Lust [ ] b) Mystery [ ] c) Love [ ] -------------------------------------------------- Please vote! Your Christiaan needs you. In other news: I have glittery boot cut girls jeans. Yeah, they hug my bum, and I like it. So hmph. Now, how are you? x Love, Princess Christiaan Mad Props to the other two Princesses: Princess Honeylove and Princess Starry Sarah Word to Pookie G. for finally putting christiaan;nuts on the map Shot out to Miss Crush for the hook up (and my mystery voter for giving me self esteem [unless mystery voter was myself, which is quite possible]) *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* "Flint is dominated/but never imitated/the others perpetrated/but still we regulated" --The Dayton Family "I know you wanna do it/you know I wanna do it too/out here on the dance floor/yeah we can make sandwiches" --Detroit Grand Pubahs <3 "I fly without wings" PLUR <3 <3 <3 PLUR --Barbie /xoxoxoxoxoxoxo christiaan xoxoxoxoxoxoxo\ *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.

Sinister: See door sign
by Kenneth P Y Chu 29 Nov '00

29 Nov '00

Hello, I always used to worry when I post things, because all I could write is rubbish, and then I read that enter.ie thingie and I realised that not only am I supposed to post rubbish on the list all the time, it makes me a true Belle and (king) Sebastian fan! I agree with the fact that this list being e-mail only is too restrictive tho, I think we should make this list paper based instead and each time we write a message we should send it to everyone else on the list by land mail. That'd be a grate idea. Actually it's a rubbish idea really isn't it? As if those silly people with no computers are worthy of being a real fan. (Ken takes this time to laugh at the lurkers on the list - Ha ha ner ner) And now to establish my fandom I shall talk about other people on the list (the real ones, who post) to look as if I am reading all the mails (which I do, of course being a real fan :)) did I mention I post too? Jonny Five said: >>ps there has been a lot of discussion about love and crushes recently. can i just say 'ha!' because i got list-crushed, and '*sob*' because i've never been crushed in real life. not in a good way anyway. << I have done one better (worse) by having never been crushed in the real life or in the list. Beat that :) Chris perriman said: >>6. Stop referring to the "World Series" of Baseball and instead call it the "USA, Cuba and Japan Championship"<< Wow, the wonders that you learn from pub quizzes, apparently, the World Series is called that not because people in the USA think that they are the world, but it was because it was originally sponsored by the "New York World" newspaper. If they ask you this in your next pub quiz.. you know where your crush vote is going :) zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz................................................... My body clock has gone mad, I think it's in fact gone schizophrenic, one day I fall asleep at 8pm, the next day I don't sleep til 4 in the morning, and of course, it is 7:30am now, I haven't slept but it's a silly time to go to bed. I might have to resort to some medicine to fix my sleeping schedule... maybe something that will keep me awake for longer until it's the right time to sleep again.. some liquid maybe, that comes in a can... :) Real B&(k)S fans and Red Bulls Ken ====================================================================== Now I'm feeling flat you seem a mile away and so tired that down on the pavement I'll day - Belle & (king) Sebastian +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: How will I get her to strike a pose?
by Brian Pennington 29 Nov '00

29 Nov '00

Hello, I like this whole 'posting' thing. It's fun. I'd never classify myself as a lurker. I would classify myself as someone who is extroverted yet too lazy to post often. So I'm not just posting for posting's sake. Honest. Cross my heart. I have been listening to B&S a lot this week. In fact I brought Sinister along with me on Monday, a thoroughly irritating day in which I worked far too many hours. But I was struck by how distinct it was from FISHYCLAP for the first time. It feels all acoustic and timid in comparison. FISHYCLAP is confidant and lush. I find myself liking it a lot more just now. It's funny though, when I first listened to it, it really didn't sound that different. But after you let it sink in maybe. Who knows... I like the inferences people made about my last post. Let's just say the jury is out. But I don't believe in happy endings anyway. Anything that ends isn't happy. Happiness should be ongoing. Continuing happiness. Endings are for books and films. You know, meeting Struan was a bit of a two-edged sword. While the good reasons ought to be obvious, the bad reason is now I keep thinking of things I *ought* to have said. Maybe I should make a small list and keep it in my hip pocket for any occasion that I might run into him. That wouldn't look odd or anything would it? I realized that I came *this* close to wearing my Study at Stow t-shirt. That would have been awkward... And is that picture on Amihotornot actually him? Does this mean Struan has a weiner dog!? Or maybe it's someone else's weiner dog. I like them. Weiner dogs, I mean. Whoever those weiner dog-owners were, their rating wasn't all that bad when I looked at it. I listen to a lot of music that doesn't sound like B&S. Lately I've been listening to albums where people seem to aurally throw their guitars up into the air, and wait for them to come back down. Takes quite a while though. They just flit languidly about up there, echoing bemusedly. The band doesn't really seem to mind either. They just keep on singing for the most part. I think I'm going to try & go see the Go-Betweens again on Thursday. I sort of doubt Struan will make a second appearance. Although...he has to discuss their impending 10-LP deal deal with me, apparently. Or so I hear. Hm, so a curious instance of life imitating song, I'm going to be taking some photographs of the object of my furtive glances this weekend. I'm quite excited at the prospect. After hearing "Photo Jenny" it sounds like quite the thing to do. Except I'm not having trouble getting her to do it and I don't need any drugs to help me out at all really. But it still all fits together in my mind. Photographs are fantastic things for a bedsit sentamentalist. There's something inherently romantic about them. Like placing the needle of turntable on a warm, crackly record. Clicking the shutter, adjusting the aperture, and especially developing the film. The romance of that wears off quick though, after too many hours spent in dimly lit rooms with the sound of water running, and the smell of the chemicals. Not only have I begun to ramble, but I think I'm finished rambling. If you're expecting an e-mail from me it will be just the slightest bit longer. If you're not expecting an e-mail from me, you should be feeling fine just now, and wondering why I haven't stopped typing. -- Brian Pennington, aka Mick McMick | cellophanesky(a)mac.com | ICQ# 39021436 Sandcastle Records: <http://www.indiepages.com/sandcastle/> the Cellophane Sky:<http://home.earthlink.net/~cellophanesky/the/index.html> "Better a tear of truth than smiling lies." - Duncan Browne +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: She wants a boy who laughs at everyone, who goes with her like bullets in a gun
by Walkn10＠aol.com 29 Nov '00

29 Nov '00

Hello Sinister Massive, I couldn't help noticing a recent thread regarding women's prediliction toward dating liars, thieves and malcontents...bad boys. Having been the unwitting victim of this time and time again, I would love to be clued in as to what the big deal is. I have my theories, but given that I'm not a woman, they're probably pretty misinformed. My theory is that women want something to mother and mold and scold, rather than some thumb-sucker or all-around nice guy who's just waiting on their every sneeze to brandish a box of tissues. Maybe its also because neglect is such a "manly" thing, that unless a guy repeatedly ignores a girl he doesn't seem "manly." Why do women want it hard? (not like that, you perverts) I always hear my women friends moaning about how they want a guy "who's normal...who's nice...who'll buy us flowers," when what they really want is all of that followed by the phrase "once a year." I have bought women flowers for no reason, sereneded them with love songs, complimented them up and down, missed a kegger to watch "You've Got Mail" etc., only to be left behind for guys who forgot their birthday and would later cheat on them with an ex- or something. It seems like as soon as a woman knows she has a guy, I mean really and truly HAS a guy, then she doesn't want him anymore. Guys are very much like this too, so I guess we have no room to talk. Perhaps people aren't comfortable unless they're uncomfortable, unless there's that every-present feeling that any minute something COULD go wrong (even if it never does). Maybe it ties in with wanting someone independent, someone who could do without you quite easily, thank you very much. I have no clue. I just know all my overly romantic friends are also the ones who are the loneliest and I wish I could understand why. Ferris Bueller once said, "You can't respect someone who kisses your ass...it just doesn't work." Perhaps that says it all. Perfecting the art of imperfection...

<color><param>0100,0100,0100</param>Hi sinister peeps, My second alcohol induced post, Next monday night, there's rumours of a free V-Twin gig. I accidentally overheard a phone-call tonight between band members about a <color><param>0000,0000,0000</param>short notice <color><param>0100,0100,0100</param>gig. Someone's pulled out of a beat room recording session and the twin have been called in as subs. Don't know if Stevie's back in time, however the rest of them should be there. G2 Monday night. I'm sure there was something else...

Sinister: history, man
by P F 28 Nov '00

28 Nov '00

I saw Malcolm Bradbury getting into a lift once. Ever since that day, folk have been asking if I was taught by him. But I have a suspicion that he was a good liberal, and a good man. May his 'god' go with him: or failing that, for a 'god' always fails 'that', may Vic Sage go with him. At the appropriate time. Don't hurry, Vic. We still need you around here. ****************************************** Mooro is back. But was he ever away? Yes. He was in 'Scotland'. That's where Stevie McTroussé lives, so I hear. He - Mooro, not S McT - said: >>> First up was Whistler. A big bag of bollocks to their snotty cow of a singer still wearing same ugly dress) who compounded the evil of their tuneless racket by swearing at, taking the piss out of & getting a security man to threaten a member of the audience for having the temerity to .... dance! - Ah, the temerity to dance. I remember when I had the temerity to dance. - But didn't we all? A pause. - Before the war, I mean. Another. - The Gulf War. - Ah. I'm not crazy about Whistler either. But I suppose they do sing in tune. And their sets aren't drenched in feedback like most London duos' are these days. The boy Casarotto is back. Indeed, the old guard is back. But what are they guarding? We'll find out, or not. >>>I too haven't posted for a while as I've had nowt to say. Really. I did >>>have a *moment* with B&S the other day, when I was frustrated and moody Cazza, you're frustrated and moody NOW. That much is obvious from your post, unless it's all a brilliantly elaborate hoax. It is? Oh. >>>and I slipped the Black Sessions what? >>>Very nice, but not very interesting. Kind of like Cazza. Oh, I don't mean it, son. Come back! Golly. NickDastoor is the newest member of sinister, according to the front page. I'm not kidding. >>> Talking of Tiger Milk, some of the more bilious of you may remember Kevan Cooke's Catastrophic Cocktail Cabinet that we took to Bowlie. I don't know that I do. Please tell us more. But I'll always be fond of the memories of KC's gin cabinet, such as it was. I mean it. Fold Your Hands has never sounded so good since; good though it has sounded. LLLL spat >>>I'm your huckleberry, and I wonder what she means. OldNewNickDastoor admitted >>>I make a point of only fancying foul-tempered women, and I wonder if he means it. The lad Pennington whispered >>> We broke the ice and chatted with him awhile. I feel I ought not to reveal the reason they were in New York, as it sounded rather uncomfirmed, and it would betray some sort of pact. However, the reason they were at the club was to see the Go-Betweens. >>> By gad. Do us a favour, Mick. Are you seriously trying to tell us that the reason that the B&S lads were at a club was to see the Go-Betweens? Your smokescreen is lighter than air, if you catch my drift. It's *obvious* that B&S would never go to a club to see the Go-Betweens. They went - we all know it already, don't be coy - to keep their appointment with you! It all revolves around their new 10-LP deal with Sandcastle records. 'Some sort of pact'? Well, really. Your negotiations with the band have been an open secret for about the last 7 months! Just stop trying to pretend you're not at the centre of events. We know you are really. Jordi Cruyff grinned >>>Mr.Miller gave me some issues of the also unique Chickfactor fanzine, which is absolutely twee. I am rather surprised by that judgement. The tweeest thing I ever saw in chickfactor was their interview with a girl drummer named Adris from the band 'harry pussy'. Harry Pussy released two flexi-discs in 1993. One was 'sunflower pussy' b/w 'i've found a way to mercury'. The second, specially released on Edinburgh's Bomb The Sherberts label (for more info write Jock Cavendish, 24d) Mickercandie Road, Lothian, ED1 QED. Enclose SAE), was the lovely 'she comes out with the flowers after the rain', b/w 'rainbird boy' and the 1minute, 20second bonus track 'pussy's gone'. They really were very twee. Get a load of this extract from the interview. >>> - what's your rider? - ah always wanted a poany. it would be nice if being in the band would let me have mah oan poany. - do you like to trip and stuff? - noo, no' really. Ah hurt my knee when I do tha'. - what do you have in your fridge? - hee-hee - a little bit of... rhubarb. - do you get sick of how all the girls in bands are badmouthing each other all the time? - ah was sick last week. My mooth hurt. - where will you take us when we come to glasgow? - oh, there's a lovely playground near my da's hoose with a lovely rocking horse. I ripped ma cardigan on it once tho. >>> So, yes, that was a bit twee. But most of the readership and staff nowadays actually consists of Hasidic bikers, lumberjacks, that kind of thing.

Tony Blair, MP for the 97.85% of you who have until now been unaware that there is a world outside your borders) will appoint a minister for America without the need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire will be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed. To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect 1. You should look up "revocation" in the Oxford English Dictionary. Then look up "aluminium". Check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it. Generally, you should raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. Look up "vocabulary". Using the same twenty seven words interspersed with filler noises such as "like" and "you know" is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. Look up interspersed". 2. There is no such thing as "US English". We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. 3. Arrest Mel Gibson for treason. 4. You should relearn your original national anthem, "God Save The Queen", but only after fully carrying out task 1. We would not want you to get confused and give up half way through. 5. You should stop playing American "football". There is only one kind of football. What you refer to as American "football" is not a very good game. The 2.15% of you who are aware that there is a world outside your borders may have noticed that no one else plays "American" football. You will no longer be allowed to play it, and should instead play proper football. Initially, it would be best if you played with the girls. It is a difficult game. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which is similar to American "football", but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like nancies). We are hoping to get together at least a US rugby sevens side by 2005. 6. Stop referring to the "World Series" of Baseball and instead call it the "USA, Cuba and Japan Championship" 7. Learn to enjoy warm flat beer and steak and kidney pudding. Train waitresses to be more aggressive with customers and not to tell you their names before you eat. 8. July 4th is no longer a public holiday. November 8th will be a new national holiday, but only in England. It will be called "Indecisive Day". 9. Driving on the left is now compulsory - recall all cars to effect the change immediately. 10. Please tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us crazy. damn, no content today, except maybe which belle and seb song do you all think is the most danceable?, my vote goes for electronic rennaissance, i've veen trying to drop something of theirs into my set when i dj for ages but nothing on tigermilk really works (its the only b n s thing i've got on vinyl) and electronic rennaissance isn't really representative of theie euvre (i've been trying to use that word for ages too) maybe 'i could be dreaming might work', oh well whatever, nevermind that was weak i admit but i'll try to think up something better for next time, honest bye for now pez* 'writing about music is like dancing about architecture' anon _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.
