i know i just sent an obnoxious letter about monica queen. but i have am having the best b+s experience ever right now. i was looking at b+s chords online on a whim... and so i decided to hear "get me away i'm dying" and fell in love with all over again, hugging myself crying happily. now i'm just whisking through if you're feeling sinister, and i love it maybe more than i did two years ago... and i listened to twattybus again last night, and finally realized why everyone loves it... i think i must be having AN ELECTRONIC RENAISSANCE! or maybe just a guitar one... so i love ALL OF YOU now, and i promise i will never consider leaving the wondering SINISTER LIST like i did a few weeks ago. I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU. - adam (p.s.: here's my absurd fanboy note: i just noticed that isobel breaths in loudly right at the end of the rollercoaster ride. i exclaimed, "what could this mean? i must inform the sinister list at once!" so i did, and here it is.) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

while looking for the CRAZY MONICA QUEEN on the net, i found this site: http://www.opalmusic.com/a_to_z/bellesebastianmonicaqueen.htm is this just a strange way of saying that it's lazy line painter jane? or is this a mysterious b+s/monica queen split?

Sinister: Gents Concert photos
by David Moore 12 Dec '00

12 Dec '00

Hi All, Apologies to those of you who find short ones unsatisfying but there's not a lot I can do about that now. So we like concert reports, do we? Then we should all join Segundosdeluz, where Charles has uploaded 28 photos taken of The Gents in London. I like Friday's ones better: a bit sharper & more varied. You get Beauty & The Beast, Sweaty Armpits & can make up your own mind in The Great Debate: see 01-12'14-1024.jpg where Charles has snapped the Wrangler-clad Campbell derrière, the cheeky chappy. He also deserves some kind of medal for travelling all the way from Buenos Aires to London & attending both gigs. Gotta go see a band, David Moore Chelmsford, UK +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Hiya fans, I haven't posted for aaages, namely because I've run out of clever/funny/interesting things to say. Wow, it's just like dating. Speaking of which, Jules said: > on a lighter note, I am still seeing the lovely, fluffy and charmingly > underweight (despite a week of my dodgy cookery) Mikey and he's the > best thing since chocolate covered macademia nuts! Which improved my day no end. Although why anyone would be attracted to a skeleton is completely beyond me. However, I will not be lodging any complaints just yet. I do recommend Jules' cooking though, so everyone round to Jules' place for supper. Jules, food for 1500 please, ta. She'll do it as well, that's how darn lovely she is. Oh yeah, and if you've bought books from her and haven't paid yet, cough up yer cheapskates. Or I'll come round to your house and... and... give you a nasty look! Then run away! So watch out. Anyway, it's nearly Christmas, I'm off to get drunk, byebye. Love, Mike :o) PS. Merry Christmas everybody. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: can we fix it? yes we can!
by fiona 12 Dec '00

12 Dec '00

owww, i fell over getting off the bus this morning and landed in a crumpled heap on the floor, i'm now in pain and will probably be in a bad mood for the rest of the day, although i am starting ot feel remorseful towards the nice young man who stopped to help me up, while i just grrrred at him in an 'of-course-i'm-alright-why-are-you-helping-me-up-i'm-not-an-invalid' sort of way. so i'll put my apology on the sinister list which of course he'll never read, but it makes me feel better anyway. it still hurts though. last time i did something like that i'd torn ligaments or something and it hurt for weeks. it did mean that i got prodded by doctor chris from richard & judy, which always makes a good anecdote. (he's one of the doctors at my surgery, i didn't just stop him in the street or anything) i have some vaguely b&s related news; i was wearing my colourblind t-shirt the other day and the boy on my course with belle and sebastian badges who i've been meaning to talk to for ages, but i'm not very good at that sort of thing, stopped to speak to me. i haven't spoken to him since or anything, but its nice to feel noticed. for anyone who wondered, (and i know that isn't any of you, but, i won't be offended if you click on the little pointing downwards triangle) my lovely lickle indie night went hugely well last week, we got twice as many people as the union exec thought we would and now my society bank account is brimming with over £300. the only problem with that is we're supposed to be a non-profit making organisation, but i'm sure i'll find something to do with the money. /fiona makes rubbing hands together action. yesterday, in our student house we had christmas day. we had a tree and presents and chicken (turkey was too expensive) and sprouts and pudding and mulled wine and a cd with ronan keating doing a shocking version of 'fairytale of new york' (the best christmas song in the world...ever!) being poor students, we decided that we couldn't spend more than a pound on anyone, but you'd be shocked at what you can get for a pound these days, we had books and baubles and all sorts of furry things and someone even managed to find a nail-varnish drier for a pound! yes, a pound! pf (i think) mentioned erasure. erasure are (were) great, thats better than grate, actually great, and the most P!O!P! band i can think of. woo woo, although girl thing are hot on their heels. i have a rainbow brite ruler. hands up who's already snuck into their parent's / partner's / insert other loved one here's wardrobe / other hiding place and found their christmas presents and just managed to lift the cellotape enough to see what's inside without disturbing the wrapping paper. i have. i've managed to see a tigger cover for my phone and some underwear so far. one year my mum bought me a take that live at wembley video, i found it and watched the whole thing before christmas and no-one ever knew. i think i was about 12, just to add strength to the teen argument. because i liked take that for about two years, and then i discovered suede and blur and oasis and elastuca when i was 13, and here i am today. why am i telling you this?? ne'ermind, complex calculus beckons, not very encouragingly, but it beckons all the same. love and irn-bru, fiona. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/worldofirnbru twee scottish pop ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: A secret. Posters on. Weeping wail. Diminish.
by P F 12 Dec '00

Goodness. They sing of Ally Down at the Pally Which is called AllyPally They're pally With the lad Ally They are perhaps five in number That's my latest tally . Miller returned at last. >>> Have you noticed that if you sing along to Panic by The Smiths, but change the word "panic" to "Pinefox", you get a nightmare vision of the future? Give it a try. Could life ever be sane again? >>> a) why did you do this? b) why a nightmare? c) why the future? I have been on the streets of London many times in the past; and in Birmingham once or twice. >>> At 44.99 the Rare Cult box set is too expensive, yet the one CD highlights collection is simply inadequate. >>> Come now. I do not charge that much for my Box Set. You only have to ask nicely. >>> I listened to Lloyd Cole and the Negatives on a foul germ-infested listening post the other day. What happened to Lloyd's lovely American accent? There was a nice song on it though, No More Love Songs or something. >>> Germs or no, you are a lucky gringo, I mean, boy. It is not often that I can say things like, O, yes, I have heard him play it live a number of times before its release. No, not often. the boy 96 climbed off a 'bus' (actually a coach!) in his native land. The air bit shrewdly. It was very cold. He wondered to himself. >>>saw the band but not the poet and critic Tom()Paulin, who were lovely, >>>and the band but not the sculptor and historian The Gentle (!) Waves, who >>>were dull in all the right places and acceptable in the some of the wrong >>>ones. I find this devastatingly witty. But which were the right and wrong places? >>> "Ah yes, I recall the first time I encountered this type of salt, twas in 89, a day like no other, when the clouds seemed to smear the sky with nostalgia and the skunks..." >>> Words succeed me. >>> What an aaaaaasshole. >>> Isn't that 'flaming'? >>> On Saturday I lost a lot of words. Some of them I gave away as cheaply as the hours, some of them I hope to retrieve at a future point in time. I only hope I can remember them in the meantime. >>> Did your hard drive break? You are always on about this, boy. Give it up. April is gone. >>> Peter may also be interested to know that those gorgeous Foxgloves are recording a new track. I shouldn't reveal too much for fear of breaking some kind of pact, >>> That's true. But I can reveal that the reason that the Foxgloves were at the Gentle Waves gig was to see the Gentle Waves. The man from the 'Weunion' said >>> Joe hadn't had sex in a while and had quite a large supply of ejaculate. He was oh so lonely. He was about to lay down to another night of sleeping alone and a quick session before turning in. >>> For heaven's sake. I cannot take much more of this. It is so unfair. Genevieve W and Alix C offered tantalizing titles. Edna Welthorpe (Mrs) turned up for the first time and deserved public commendation. I offered her the private variety, and she declined. Silence sued. I mean, ensued. We don't have many married folks on this list. Or do we? I can think of at least, ooh, 2 or 3. But Mrs W does not mention her spouse. I feel that some sad severance may have taken place. Taken the place of what? Why, of cohabitation. >>> Yes, ladies, he IS still available. >>> I don't remember the pinefox telling Mrs W this. Did she? >>> a charming mixture of Glaswegian geetarclassicism and Indian devotional music, and blow us if that isnt Mad Dog Murdoch, on a track that translates as Bow down to Shiva", chanting away like George Harrison in his prime for over ten minutes! Its all very lovely. We suggest you investigate, forthwith. >>> This is what you get when such Made In Taiwans and maiden aunts are allowed out of the nursery. The lady is quite wrong about this. It is three or four chords, or so, of tedium and wasted time and talent. Edna W (Mrs) is presumably a 'Thoreauvian Deist' or something. But that's a scanty excuse for such a lapse of taste. >>> Sarah Garret Sonner crashlanded into our list of top ten posters the other day. >>> Here are my top ten posters. 1. Betty Blue 2. The Blues Brothers 3. The Big Blue 4. Blue Velvet 5. In My Blue Heaven 6. Blue Monday. New Order. Factory. 1983 7. Blue Period. Picasso. Exhibition. Frankfurt. 1987. 8. Got The Blues. (Picture of a 'bluesman'.) 9. Blue Savannah. Erasure. Released 10.9.1987. 10. Blue Christmas. A tribute to Elvis Presley's Christmas Album. Released by RockingHorseRoad records, 25.11.1987. >>> Hoo hoo! >>> What does that 'sound' have to do with the Foxgloves? Is it meant to be a phonetic rendition of the non-verbal noise in the middle of 'Day Star', or something? >>> If you get three pictures of Foxgloves 1 in a row, apparently, you win an evening out for two in the Muji store of your choice. >>> I already have 37 pictures of Foxgloves1 in a row. In a pile. In a book. On the floor. On my bed. On my ceiling. He knows what I mean. Is the point that the store will be empty, so we can do what we like; or that it will be locked, and thus ultimately as disappointing as a Foxgloves gig? >>> One point of contention, however: with her new longer hair, does Ms Campbell still qualify as a "gamine"? And how does one define a gamine, anyway? Elucidation, please. >>> I have asked around and come up with the following: >>>a girl with a roguish, saucy charm Buy it if you want. Bakhtin / Wittgenstein: cf Terry Eagleton, Against The Grain (1986) ----- Saints & Scholars (1987) >>> Only two films have scored better this year. We will leave you to speculate what they were. >>> Patrick Keiller, London ----- Robinson In Space Do I get a prize? You know, Mrs W does have an attention to words, which is something. The more I read her work, the more I see it. And yet, I saw it in the first place. >>> S/ Select magazine is dead, apparently. >>> Who says? I saw it yesterday. >>>We shed a quiet tear. Me also, if only for the sake of 1991-4 or so. Where did they go? >>> T/ Twee interlude A wee kitten is playing with a ball of knitting wool and getting in a frightful tangle. >>> Oooooh! Aaaaaah! >>> You cant say that about many groups - except Sportique, of course. >>> Boh! Ow! Eek! Mrs W has started to reduce me to mere guttering, I mean, guttural noises. >>>Can some eager beaver step forward to compile the End of Year 2000 >>>Sinister top ten singles/crushes/greatest wanks etc? I would love to. But I longer hear new or experience records, crushes or wanks. Old ones, maybe. Have I said this before somewhere? >>>Compared to us, Jed Bush is one honest injun.

Ye Gods! Splash has finally gotten in touch, No I can remove the Anne Robinson coat of shame (it's several sizes too small), although the necessary finances for continued printing are currently unavailable so until Mikey wins the lottery or I find a photocopier grazing in my back garden (apparently they like parsley) then there are still no more fables available... sorry on a lighter note, I am still seeing the lovely, fluffy and charmingly underweight (despite a week of my dodgy cookery) Mikey and he's the best thing since chocolate covered macademia nuts! jules +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: list abuse
by Lawrence Mikkelsen 12 Dec '00

12 Dec '00

****BLATANT LIST ABUSE ... SORRY EVERYONE*** Stephen Hewitt (Carsmile Steve), can you please e-mal me re: the Auction ... I have rather stupidly deleted your e-mail and address. Guess I better say something of relevance here, now I'm here. hmmm. ***SUEDE*** Got a cool 8 track fanclub CD yesterday, with a couple of really tasty acoustic tracks, live sessions etc. This isn't a plug as such, because my Suede obsession peaked about five years ago, but their fanclub *is* really good. Wouldn't it be great if there was a B&S fanclub, and you got a CD of rare/unreleased stuff every year. mmmmm ***BBC SESSIONS*** Speaking rare and unreleased stuff, I was looking thru amazon.co.uk the other day, having bought The House Of Love Peel Sessions album, and noticed Kenickie have a Peel Sessions album. I mean, Kenickie. They were quote good, but heaven only knows why they deserve a radio sesions compilation when, for example, none of B&Ss sessions are commercially available, or why you *still* can't get a complete set of Smiths or Go-Betweens sessions. ***ROCKIN' OUT*** A Tape sent by a Ms Llew has reignited my lonmg dormant Pixies obsession. I'd forgotten what an amazing, and totally unique band they were .... cheers, Laura. Anyway, things to do ... etc. Sorry for the list abuse ... and hope you're all well.

Sinister: They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
by Ozma . 12 Dec '00

12 Dec '00

Well, they did in my home town anyway. But I always think beachy places are ones of paradise. RELIGION CLASS EXCERPT Did you all know that sin means imperfect? So while the world community (well alot of it) thinks sin is a bad terrible horrendous thing, everyone has it. from a religion class standpoint, that is. Sorry about my ramblings, I just felt it was interesting ..... (?) B/S CONTENT I wish I could see them at a show of sorts...except I would probably start sobbing for lack of a better emotion and embarrass myself in front of all of the moxie people. NON B/S CONTENT I get to go see Weezer in concert in March sometime. I'm very very extremely excited. My friend is taking me, and it is very kind of her to take on me for the showing of it. Now to talk my parental units into it. JUST YOU AND ME AND THE BOTTLE MAKE THREE TONIGHT Do any of you out there abstain from drinking? and smoking? and such activities of the crazy night...? I'm running out of reasons to NOT drink as I'm not a religious person, ....then again I never have so why start now...Need a little encouragement though so if you could kindly direct it my way it would be lovely? (to not drink that is......i think...hmmm) *ponders* WHAT'S A GIRL TO DO? What should someone do if there is a moxie girl one un-named girl (ahem) wants to be friends with but is too uncourageous to approach. You must remember that I---I mean, this girl is too intimidated and doesn't have any classes with this other girl and really only sees her from afar. How does one strike up a friendship like this? I'm very out of practice. only 337 more miles 'till L.A., *O.z.m.a _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.

Sinister: why does it always snow on me?
by Ewan Dunbar 12 Dec '00

12 Dec '00

i can't believe how much there is now. okay, so maybe it's not in 10-ft drifts, but it's really starting to get in the way. oh well. i like it. i have a book on my desk that was my grandfather's. it's a book of poems in welsh romani by john sampson, welsh gypsy expert of old. i only bring it up because now every time i think of the word snow, i think of a poem that's in there called "iv opré o them" the translation of which starts "Lo! the snow!" which is now what will pop into my head forevermore when i think of snow. for better or for worse. MUSIC THAT ISN'T B&S: anyway, i've just got my hands on a copy of runrig's "play gaelic". my mother bought it for herself because she likes one of the songs on one of their newer albums (but the rest of that album is to neither my liking nor hers). but this seems to be their first album -- i don't know, i'm no expert on runrig, but that's the way it comes across from the cover and the liner -- and it's rather nice. i don't know why she doesn't like it, but i won't argue. she gave it to me. and most of the time when i get music from people i take it suspiciously. but this is good. of course, i don't know what any of the words mean, as it's entirely in gaelic. i've worked out a few things though; one of the things that didn't take much working out is that "an ros" means "a rose" (or maybe "the rose", i don't know), as that's laid out for the reader in the liner notes. what really struck me, though, is the eerie resemblance that song, "an ros", bears to a certain other song. probably a coincidence. anyone with a copy of this should listen to the opening of the song (not to mention the chord progression) until it hits them. if it hasn't already. it really is uncanny for a coincidence, but it's too uncanny to be anything else. it is rather a good album. A SORRY LAMENT: i've been thinking about a girl in my physics class and how pale her blue eyes are. and i know i better do something about this soon. tomorrow, i keep telling myself. that's all i have to say about that. B&S CONTENT: as for b&s content, i know i had some. i KNOW i had some.. damn it.. well, in case i never said so, the girl who had borrowed my copy of fishyclap gave it back a while ago. which is interesting to me, but it's hardly news. anyway, she has pretty good taste in music, and for a while there i had a pretty solid crush on her. but she never really liked me. we've been not so much friends as "people who interact from time to time if they happen to be in the same room" since we met. she's a nice girl. there was some band she told me about once, and i can't think what it was... but i never got the chance to check them out. i dunno anything about them. their name was "somethingorother and the royal jelly", but i don't remember what the somethingorother was. perhaps someone knows. i doubt anyone will get this far into the post, it really hasn't been too interesting so far. but if anyone could help me out here, it would be much appreciated. anyway, i suppose i will go look for the lyrics to these songs, with translations. perhaps then i can more fairly evaluate this album. but as i said it is very good. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
