Sinister: My first hello; little content of importance...
by Kim 25 Nov '00

25 Nov '00

For everyone who wants to skim the rambling... Of course the best thing that has happened to me in the past six months was stumbling upon this magical mailing list - and I abhor mailing lists as a general rule. So I want to say thank you to everyone who keep this rambling conversation going, despite its tendency to meander (though I could argue that a journey's not reaching its full potential without a bit of meandering... I could also argue that stream-of-consciousness writing was highly recommended in my university writing studies, but then I'm arguing a lot and who needs all that arguing?) This is my first post (so I apologize for the pointlessness... I'm a bit nervous) but I do want to say that I just got back from Europe (ah yes, a Yankee out of water), and I admit that I felt much more at home in London than I ever do here in the states. I know there's always downfalls to large cities, but for those of us who like to sit alongside brick walls and peoplewatch, London's an amazing place. I managed to find LPs (something which I have to go to Washington, D.C. for around here, and if I find anything good there, it's only really good luck) of both Painter Jane and Dog on Wheels in a tiny shop in Belgium... Made me insanely happy, which confused my B&S-deprived friends who asked, "Don't you already have all of their albums on CD?" So if anyone on the east coast of the states knows where I can find B&S LPs, I'd greatly appreciate it. Anyway, thank you all for the tidbits of new musical info (definitely going to check out what I can of Sodastream). If it weren't for this list, my musical passions would suffer greatly and sometimes, that's all I have... isn't that the way for most of us? I'll be looking forward to each digest... Thank you, Sinisterees, for keeping me sane! Sincerely and with even more sincerity than that, Kim ----------------------------------------------- FREE!

Sinister: argh!.......new person....be gentle.....
by Desmond Torpey 24 Nov '00

24 Nov '00

rah!..i hope i'm doing this right...accept my apologies if this message appears twenty times in your inboxes....as you may have gathered, i am the new boy in the class so please let me join in your fun at breaktime and dont put plasticine in my hair....i can never get that stuff out..... Judging by your posts and dropping into the chatroom occasionally, you all seem like a luvely bunch of people.....I would say that i wished more peeps like you lived in my town but i wouldnt wish that on anyone....its a HELLHOLE...... I'm stuck in Swindon, the most pathetic town in the world (why did i feel the need to give it a capital letter? some kind of deep rooted pyschological love? hmmmmmm).....If you dont wear loafers and have a big mouth then its hard to survive......i think i've made it this far by hiding under my bedclothes a lot..... i sort of gatherd that i should put some kind of b+s related content in the posts (which is understandable)..I'll just say that i think theyre the most fantastically wonderful band in the world has ever seen. If 'put the book back on the shelf' and 'belle and sebastian' were piped through loudspeakers on every street corner...the world would be a nicer place..... Just to show my dedication i am typing this in agony this morning....last night i rather foolishly (and i admit, tipsily) attempted to do a tightrope walk on a very wet,very slippy metal bar the size of a piece of dental floss....i crashed to earth in a spectacular and painful fashion and am now nursing a bruised and injured ankle...was sympathy forthcoming from my freinds? oh no! only mocking laughter....sob.... Thats it for now....hope i havent bored you too much...i'll keep reading the posts and whisper something myself from time to time....i'm off to put frozen chips on my ankle and have a snooze before i go and catch my lunch over the rolling hills.....come ere sandwich! i dont wanna hurt you! i just wanna nibble yer crusts!......rah! tata.... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Definitely,middle-middle age is the best time to put forward a crisis as excuse and hit the road for fun.Your children are grown up and don't really need you anymore,unless they want to exploit you as unpaid chauffeur, and concerning your love life you are : a)Divorced b)Your satisfactory,long-term relationship with your spouse makes this one pretty confident that your emotional and physical ramblings up and down the ill-fated communications system of the UK are not eventually leading you to some new arms.Also he/she might consider that at this stage, it is unlikely you will find anything better that what you've got at home... Dave's last weekend has become a sort of street-wise campaign to encourage all of us to take into middle-age too and give up any defense of past/present/future wild youth lifestyle.I am sure that Naomi Klein will uncover some nasty big co. funding his activities to achieve their goal of promoting the highly-paid,highly-consuming baby-boomers are still the cool ones,despite their enthroning very long ago consummated in such a position.And I thought cool was a very volatile state of matter. Trying to palliate my ignorance of Sodastream delicacies, I struggled to stay awake and enjoy their Peel Session, though I only got to listen to a couple of songs and found them,right,delicate and enjoyable but did not struck me as magic in this first go.Sure it is a grower, some quote that used to populate this list very often some time ago.Grandaddy Peel brought me home some surprise fancy bits, Cinerama last single b-side and the House of Love.Mmmmm.If you want to start a life in the weblogs, where do you have to go? where do you apply? Is it like 'Castaways' but all wired and networked? The 'weblogs' inspire something woodlandish in myself,no idea why.

Sinister: An avenging angel's arrow in his heart...
by JENOWL22＠aol.com 23 Nov '00

23 Nov '00

Hewwo, Well, I was having an ok week. I'd been doing ok in the pre-prelim tests (why do they do that? What's the point in giving you preliminary exams for preliminary exams) because there was only one I didn't get full marks for, which means maybe I'll lay off the 'i'm going to fail' complex for a few minutes, and I'd got my report card, which was ok, except for the part about me worrying too much, and said I should stop having fist fights with Debs, even though if she punches me till I scream, smashes me over the head with a box and then throws me across the desk, breaking several objects in the process, it's not really my fault anyway. And I didn't mean to insult her religion, and it's not even her real religion, she just pretends to be a mormon. Besides she said that she was my mother and that she was going to convert me to Judaism, so that she could start the new holocaust and watch me suffer and die, and I said 'well wouldn't it be simpler just to shoot me you nazi mormon moke', and she laid into me. But she's my bestest friend in the whole wide world really. She just beats me up a lot. Elses. Guess what I did today. Well, as you know, hard kids and chemistry do not mix, and we have a really dopey chemistry teacher, who doesn't understand that if you do not lock the store cupboard then the hard kids will get in and find the dangerous stuff and throw it at certain people (me), which will make their blouse and skirt start to fizz and eat away in places. And on the theme of clothing and bad things happening to it, hard kids should not learn how to fly kick, because this will mean that they want to try it out, and not there's a big muddy footprint on the back of my B*S tv show teeshirt, and my back hurts quite a bit. But I was cunning. I told him he was a big fat moke and I hoped he died, then I was going to frown at him, but instead I sort of cried, which he thought was really funny. I like Inkubus Sukkubus. I don't care if they're metal (even though they're not proper metal). I like them. I'm a rebel. I eat hard kids for breakfast, and stuff. Or maybe not... I've been listening to TWATTYBUS a lot recently. It gives me butterflies at the good bits, like in Sleep the Clock Around, and Simple Things. I like it, but it's best to listen to it on a walkman (because I have it on tape, and its all green and play-dohy looking much better than new fangled CD's rah) because all the sounds are shut in in your head, and you hear it just for you, and it's special. Oh and i wrote a song for sinister. It's all about how grate sinister is.

Sinister: to be read in the manner of Homer: teeth marks . . .uuhhuh
by Phillip Runion 23 Nov '00

23 Nov '00

dear list, i am just wondering how dearest Genevieve expected me to sleep last night, what with all that talk of teeth marks. i am sometimes a very impressionable boy, and oh! the impressions i would like to make with my teeth. i can not think properly, my head is awash with thoughts of fronts and bottoms, incisors and canines, and molars. does this mean i have to send pictures of my teeth? well, at least i don't have any fillings. all 97% tooth here, with the occasional trace of plaque. my gums are healthy. They tore down the old rollercoaster at Coney Island last week. Everyone with GYBE, play track one on disc two and weep. They don't sleep on the beach anymore. phil r _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.

dear people <movies> finally i ve got High Fidelity! but it is in VCD, u know, some crappy format... it just cost 40 Hong Kong $ (3quid). and also "Face". High Fidelity is okay... not as good as the book. I just ve watched 3/4 of "Face" then go out for a cup of Irish Coffee.... good drink in this kinda weather... I love the line "Never even point a gun to the people u work with!".... It is almost as cool as "Are u talking to me?" HiFi is okay... but they change some important things... Like the locale is the state, not UK... the Party scene (happy ending) is awlful!! <Books> I wanna get "No Logo" but the damn huge old english book store peope ve never heard of it. and the "posh" book store "page one" get not enough copies..... <b n s content> I love the Gentle Wave album... the song Sisterwoman is a bit "Dylan".... funny... And I ve got a 7" in a record store.. the band is called "tugboat" it is nice! Toby C __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Shopping - Thousands of Stores.

Sinister: And one for his knob*
by cbrown2＠mmm.com 23 Nov '00

23 Nov '00

Good afternoon poptarts I have been called and despite being rather late (I was in my homeland, a land where beer is only one pound for a pint and the air is clear enough to see shooting stars aaahhhhh) I shall respond, Sodastream, they were bloody lovely, I?d not seen them before and didn?t know what to expect to be honest, but I came away happy and gladdened (and just a little saddened, it?s ?done with everything? that gets me every time). They managed to fill the room with the deep deep bass and fragile singing and I was pretty darn impressed. Bad bits? The aforementioned chipmunk sisters behind the bar (an emergency tracheotomy would have been too nice for them) and that was about it, apart from my beloved Spireites being knocked out of the cup at the first hurdle ?.again (but that?s not exactly related). Anyway, five hgours sleep later and I?m braving the perils that is the rail infrastructure of our brave land, what a bunch of crap eh? Four and a half hours to do a journey that takes 2 and being cramped up in one of those horrible little sprinters, with no batteries for my walkman and the last few pages of my book and no paper to read cos they couldn?t be arsed to open the kiosk at St Pancras before nine in the morning aaaarrrrgggghhh sorry, rant over. Mind you once up there it was worth it, cheap beer and fresh air as opposed to overpriced fizz and smog was a very refreshing change, I got to see my Mum and sister, some of my old friends and generally chill out, it almost made me want to leave London. Someone mentioned Grandaddy, they?re ace, I?d say that they?re in the mercury rev, flaming lips (not that good but you know what I mean?.I hope), Scott 4 sort of mould, not only that, I?m going to see them on Wednesday and they?re on the Jeepster Christmas album with a lovely little ditty about Alan Parsons (who he? Producer type fellow?) Of course also on said Album is Belle & Seb?s version of O come O come Emmanuel, to me it sounded like a nice enough version of an old Carol, ,my Mum, however proclaimed it lovely and proceeded to sing along with gusto while we were driving round the Peak district on Tuesday. So there you go, it has Mummy Brown?s seal of approval so it must be good. That?s got to be about it for me, my posts are usually short grovelling letters for missed sessions, not this type of thing at all, must have been the fresh air Toodle pip my pretties Chrisx PS don?t forget to vote in Uncle Peelies festive 50, there?s a form on the radio 1 website *no innuendo intended, just too many games of crib in the pub +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: we will always be dismayed, it will only ever be okay.
by superfurrygrrrrl . 23 Nov '00

23 Nov '00

OI SINISTER! hiya. hello twee bunny :) i may have found the furry joke funny but i get that every time i go into a chat room. ITS THE SUPER FURRY ANIMALS DAMN IT!! you filthy minded people hehe. but to answer your question, all my hair is present and not uncorrect. draw from that what you will :, . *is listening to the lovingly surreal 'introducing the gorky's' * im inclined to praise above band (again) for pages but ill try and restrain myself. *grits teeth* erm, i had loads to say and now its all gone in a cloud of smoke. *thinks* "and one day you will find her sleeping , oh, on the dune and beneath the august sun your song will come true, ooh, ooh" yeah, wow, what happpened to the world over the past two days to make us all so down/mad/heartbroken/cynical... well, i've given up on love and eternal happiness and trying to forget that we are all greedy ugly people.... unless someone is out there that wants to prove me wrong?? ugly people that *can* be so beautiful however. the things we can do, the eloquent noise better known as music that we can make. im becoming a bit boring i think and articulate expression of depression is not something im good at. *puts on mask* "and the star you fell in love to, came out on christmas eve" christmas?? well i loved it when i was a child, although i suppose my mother wasnt so cheerful in the festive season, and although my favourite part was opening the presents my memories of it now are a little nicer. because i remember the first time i learnt to sing in harmony with our ickle kids gaelic choir, and we sang silent night in gaidhlig to our parents and teachers on the last day of school, and singing in harmony when you didnt realise you could do is... really nice. and we all thought we were the bees knees because we thought "the englishes (our school had an english unit and a gaelic unit, very segregated unfortunately :( ) had never done it before and we sounded much better than them"...... yes arent kids charming!! and then i remember sitting in macdonalds and looking at the new lights they put up. thats it. sinister:" what a waste of bloody time, next post..." ive gone and brought myself down now. "it was soon that i started dreaming, all my friends would laugh at me, no hermit girl like she, could fall in love with me" my aims in life for today are to marry euros childs. but i am fickle, my choice of husband will change with the next record, or the next scrumptious indie kid that walks down the street, *sigh* *thinks of one in particular* i want to make a personal apologie to lambchop. because i imagine they read this all the time. you see, i mentioned a band called nixon i dreamed about. but i lied. that was the name of the album. i fear for my memory these days. but anyways, lambchop from the bottom of my pencil case, SORRY. *cries at a melancholy bit in c.d* some b and s content....... "so if you are feeling sinister go off and see a minister the chances are you'd probably feel better if you stayed and played with yourself." its lines like that that brighten my day, hee hee. oh well i think i'll leave you all at that. byebye lots of love and big headphones that keep your ears warm in the winter but maybe thats because you're ears are burning when the neds are laughing at your choice of headgear, hehe. ahem, sarah xxxxx _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.

Sinister: Posters, sodastream and candle burning
by idleberry 23 Nov '00

23 Nov '00

Oooh! I wanted to go to the sodastream gig in Glasgow, but boyfriend was working early the next morning, so I had nobody to go with. How pants is that? Ah well. Got an early night instead. Not quite as much fun, but nevermind. I am continuing the poster campaign today to get people to join my.. erm.. I mean Adams and mine uni society thing for daft indie kids who want to meet other indie kids and seduce them. I shall play cupid. Have been busy designing posters last night, while sitting on the phone for hours to a friend who is going through some rough times with the subject of love. Sat like a wierdo cutting out magazine things with band names on them with a knife. Made a nice collage, and yes, I did remember to plaster belle and sebastains name all over the thing. Also added some other cool bands, as well as tyhe usual ones: blur (ahem) and All those lot. Despite having a little bit better taste, the union rules sauy we can't descriminate against anyone, and I guess that includes Embrace fans. Still, when Adam and I are at the head of the realm of our little kingdom and legion of indie kids, we shall "encourage" them to listen to something a little more, well, better. Unless they already have good taste, in which case we shall commend them highly. :) It is a democracy, but even democracies are prejudice towards good music. But this time, rather than spend, what, about 8 hours plastering the uni with posters, breaking into peoples kitchens (which took forever.. plus first year UEA students smell) we are going to focus on the main part of central campus. And rather than invest in lots and lots of cool little flyers, we shall go for nice BIG BRIGHT COLOURFUL posters. The ones I designed last night should do the trick nicely. Didn't do the things I have to do.. ie. write my 5000 word dissertation. In Norwegian. Have it in English so far, but thats not good enough. Need to hand it in very soon... next two weeks I think. Yes, I am burning the candle at both ends, but this is how I work best. Stress is good for me. Anyway, I'm off to meet Adam in the cafe for a chat. Later!
