Sinister: met you on a traffic island, we were there all day...
by Robyn Fadden 01 Dec '00

01 Dec '00

hi! do you ever for no reason at all answer the telephone by saying simply 'hi' rather than the usual 'hello w/question mark'? it freaks people out. i'm feeling communicative. but also ambiguous. but the latter is nothing new if new is the past few months (okay, years). but also, despite the ambiguity, i am probably in love. and that is a good thing, as is being loved. i have never been out for breakfast so much in my life. interesting thing about love is that it changes with different people and won't be defined. i mean, that's what i've noticed, and now that i understand that (as opposed to just shrug my shoulders at it), it's become quite nice and not as anxiety-producing. mmm. right, so i saw aisler's set last night with bratmobile! it was *awesome*! *and* the aisler's set bassist was wearing a b&s orange bus t-shirt! believe it cause it's true. i even bought a 7" and a button (they were quite cheap. i don't think the band knew about the sad state of the cdn dollar...) so everything about the aisler's set is great. that is that. they rock and are all cute and somehow are like wool sweaters that aren't so thick that you can't wear them year round. necessity. but then, i spent quite a few months a while back with 'the last match' in my walkman, so i have that bias... but screw bias - they're good! also in my walkman a lot was/is magnetic fields 'quickly made, gotta have this for bus trip now' tape. not a carefully compiled tape at all, just bits of albums. but that's okay with me and makes me happy. so i am happy to hear of people discovering stephin merritt and loving him in a flurry of capital letters and exclamation marks! now it is time to go be a completist on the issue! really, it just happens and there you are. but aren't new things sometimes just the greatest: my new stereo!!! oh, the joyful pain of pressing play on the cd player and realizing, as my eyes filled with tears, how much *better* everything sounded. like *everything*. the world. how could i have lived for eight long years with a sanyo ghettoblaster? criminal really. but though i was poor, i wasn't criminal, and i simply tolerated the situation... maybe i just didn't care enough. sad. but everything is beautiful now. right, so i saw "requiem for a dream", the new film by darren aronofsky (the "pi" guy). ooh, yeah. i couldn't shake it for a day and a half, felt twitchy and afraid, unsure, wondered if i was addicted to anything, etc. it's great. and great to look at too, with superclose-ups and split screens and awesome sound and things. there was an election here in canada. people won seats and things. someone asked me yesterday the age-old question: 'if you were in a tribute band, what band would you tribute?' (okay, i paraphrased that and made tribute into a verb, but hey, it's good.) so i don't know, i thought of a band i like that has been around for a while and said 'sonic youth?' and apparently that was not good enough for them b/c it was not cheese enough. i don't understand that logic b/c i saw (rather by accident really, no really) a neil young tribute band that was not taking their business cheesily at all. they were very serious. so anyway, now i'm all confused on the 'tribute band' vs 'cover band' issue. not that i'm losing any sleep over it. definitions are so very overrated. ah ha. for a number of reasons i like this mountain goats' lyric: "and the canterbury tales are gonna shoot up to the top of the bestseller's list... and i will love you again, like i used to." it's sad, but then i thought, hey, the c.tales is pretty raunchy material, so it's possible, with a little editing, for it to maybe one day get big like john grisham. or maybe grisham could rewrite it. oh. oh my. god. sorry. anyway, so this song is both sad and happy. and i like that. due to the whole thing i was talking about earlier. grey areas and things. plug me in plug me in, yours, robyn ===== I was reading the dictionary. I thought it was a poem about everything. ~Steven Wright ~~~ Robyn Fadden rfadden(a)yahoo.com Vancouver, BC __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Hey sinisters.. if anyone's in boston tonight and wants to go to godspeed at the somerville theatre I have an extra ticket.... write me and let me know.. jb and I'm going to comment on by JenOwls love of patrick O'brian and lisa morrison and her ability to steam up an email. I'd love to do it in further length but it seems I'm quite busy lately... Jen- the trick is exactly what you did. *act* hard. carry yourself hard. and the hardboys will leave you alone there's too many obviously non hard people for them to mess with. I'm lucky. I've always look like a hardass. No one ever started shite with me. I have a feeling at heart I'm soft, but (as you'll know if I ever get a pic up..) I look constantly pissed off even if I'm not. :) it works. Lisa- ah lisa. part of me thinks you're all talk. the other part wants to find out. I think you may actually be angelina jolie in disguise. What's your tat of? and what makes you think you're the only hard/soft line tender in the bunch? :) If I could be in a band it would have been Rodan. yes. Hell yes. I have a tattoo of an anchor on my arm does that make me hard/? naw cause I own jade tree records :P And Ms. Hanna is on the cover of some zine we just got in at the record store. She looks almost 50's-ish. quite fetching. she has killer eyes that I'd never seen before. --- okay I've rambled on... long enough. remember bostonian-godspeed fans get back to me as soon as possible if you want a free tic. (it's general admission so you're not forced to sit next to me if you don't want!) cigs and alcohol for all jb _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.

Sinister: The estate I'm in
by Kenneth P Y Chu 01 Dec '00

01 Dec '00

Hello, Wow, a few sinisters (and their pets) have really put their feet on their pedals in their "who is the most avid B&(k)S fan" race with a few rapid fire posts. So I thought I'll kicked my belle and (king) sebastian bus down a gear as well and post, otherwise I'd become a lurker, and I don't want to be one of those I can tell you. Unfortunately no one ever sends me private e-mails so I can't reply to them publically, hence I can only manage one post today. I hope I'll still be a proper B&(k)S fan. Hmm I feel horrible today, last Monday I didn't get told off by my supervisor for doing no work for a change, and so what did I do after that, nothing! Which is the problem I have done absolutely nothing this week, no work, nothing, and now my whole weekend will be spent trying to do work, and failing, and I will once again be told off. What's worse, guess what, no one loves me, it's official. It's like the opposite of the B&(k)S song on Tigermilk, but not like the manics song, cos that's pants. Yes, I guess some things in the world never changes. I'm a bit tender and tired this week really, and no, not like the manics song, cos that's pants too. Too much work, too little time, too little smiles, too many boos, not enough booze. Before I make everyone sad, some happier things I guess, I have finally finished recording a song, which is a nice thing to happen, but the song is a bit sad, hmm... never mind. I better go and do work. Some happiness and Red Bulls Ken P.S.: I think Red Bull is grate P.P.S.: Oh pants I forgot to put that ps on a seperate post ====================================================================== Boy done wrong again, hang your head in shame and cry your life away, you'll be okay now. - Belle & Sebastian +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: When I was fourteen I was under the delusion for a year I was Thomas Chatterton
by Ian Nicolson 01 Dec '00

01 Dec '00

I see that Ye Olde Christmastide Albumne is being advertised on telly now, however it's 'Little Drummer Boy' that they're using, so unfortunately there's no chance to jump up and point at the screen yelping 'oh! oh! Belle and Sebastian!! Belle and Sebastian!!', while your flatmates/parents/friends/cellmates look on with utter indifference. I suppose that would be too much to ask, after the Brookside incident. And while that might have been fun, surely it would be much funner if, say, 'Legal Man', was to be heard in the Queen Vic. If you're played on Eastenders, then you've really made it! I still keep looking to see if any of them managed to scratch their names onto the laundrette wall during the infamous post-Top of the Pops invasion of Albert Square. We can only hope. As for 'Emmanuel', well, it's rather loverly, isn't it? Although it is disappointing, as David Moore pointed out, that they've jettisoned the second verse - 'O come thou Rod of Jesse free/Thine own from Satan's tyranny' et cetera. Maybe no one else fancied singing, but you'd have thought that if they were going to get rid of one verse it would be the fourth, what with that awful 'high/misery' rhyme that poor Sarah had to try and mangle in. Having listened to most of the album (and skipping through the other bits that didn't sound too promising) it seems that B+S are one of the few bands that aren't trying to be too smart or too clever, which is a good thing, one would have thought. So-called VodkaBird said that she thought that they were "lumbered with the duff track", but one would imagine that they chose it themselves and it's not really a surprising choice. It's much better than being oh so flipping ironic like some of the others on the album. And it fits in nicely after 'Winter Wooskie' on my EPs tape, which resides in my walkman from time to time (if admitting to listening to Belle & Sebastian is still allowed, seeing as lots of Sinister types appear to have given it up!). Remember, you might well be able to hear live renditions of 'O Come O Come Emmanuel' at some churches this weekend, it being the start of Advent and all. You're even allowed to sing along! (But Jen, try to stay out of the confessionals!) On an entirely unrelated excursion through to Glasgow earlier this week I popped in to the 'Electric City' exhibition at the Lighthouse that I mentioned in my last post (what? you don't remember?!) which, to be honest, wasn't at all as exciting as I hoped it might have been. It would probably be best to go when there's actually something on (but it was free and it did keep me out of the rain for a bit). However, they do have two tailor's dummies dressed in what appears to be the clothes that Mick and Richard wore to the Brits, which, while hardly the Turin Shroud, might be of interest to some people. Not entirely sure which people, mind you. Anyways, good weekends all round, and happy confessing!

Sinister: Fire la la la
by JENOWL22＠aol.com 01 Dec '00

01 Dec '00

Hewwo, Well, I am posting again. That is how I am starting off this post, because it is true. I am not very lucid at the moment, my little child brain has gone all numb so I am being all monosyllabic, and a sweet little old lady asked me if I was on drugs, and then said something about burning in hell rah rah rah. Everyone seems decided that I'm burning in Hell at some point soon. Priests especially. I am never going to confession again, they're supposed to listen, not tell you that you are the spawn of the devil (well, he didn't say that but you oculd tell he really wanted to), and gasp and stuff, just because you mention that you were mean to your ex girlfriend. He didn't even give me a chance to say the whole thing before he said I was going to Hell if I didn't stop. The Lord will smite me and my kind down with his big smelly fire sword. Oh, cause that's always fun... I think I will put some content in, but I can't think of anything to say. Ian played me oh come emmanuel over the phone, and it's really really ace, but christmas songs are a bit sad, because there's only a set time you can listen to them without getting really depressed. But I like it, because it works really really well. I think they've done amazing grate genius things with it, and I will listen to it all year round once I get it at the sake of my sanity and biological clock. I had a really bad week, this week, I think I can't ever be cheerful anymore. I fell out with James the Ginger Perv, and I can't even remember what about, but he called me frigid and a bitch and a nerd and sayed he pretty much hoped I got beaten up. Then I was ill. Then I fell, because someone left lots of plastic strips, like the kind that go round boxes, all over the place, and they got caught up in my big clumsy feet, and I went crashing down, onto broken glass and pointy rocks, and mud and my tights got a massive hole in them and my hands and knees were all torn and there was blood and mud all over me, and then a couple of hard kids walked by and laughed, they came over to push me back into the mud, and I was nearly crying and I just screamed "If you fucking come near me I'll knock your fucking teeth down your bastard throats" (with sweary words and everything) and the amazing thing was, that even though I was all muddy and bloody and crying and half in the mud still and I really didn't mean it, they just sort of laughed and walked away. It was really amazing, really and truly. And after that, on the day after, they were at it again. And I ripped my tights again, climbing a fence to try and get to school on time, because I'd slept in, because I had bad dreams, and I decided that instead of walking about looking like an extra in Les Miserables again, I would take them off, only it was cold and James the Big Ginger Perv saw that I had bruises and said "Oh but Jen, you never bruise.", which is true, because I will take a real beating and never show it, and I just gave him a bog frown, and he laughed and said it was really funny. Then on the way home three little kid hard kids tripped me up on the bus and I hurt my knees again. So really my knees have been quite unlucky this week. But good things, I have done more things to my Angelfire website, and it's still really pants, because I still can't upload pictures, but it is happy and cheerful, and I've done another Bob the Ghost Wasp story, about how Bob became a ghost, and I've done a bit on Shy Violet from Rainbow Brite, but it's not up yet. Do you want to go there? If you do it's www.angelfire.com/weird/mmmhowqueer/index/html (ha ha no more expage jobs for me...) And I am going to a party and I am going to wear a purple dress from the magic shop in Glasgow which sells clothes, and i think it really was magic, because they had perfect dresses for me and my friend. Well, mine isn't perfect, but my friend said it was. I think I just look silly. Because I have a cleavage now, you know, and it all looks very grown up. First the mascara, now this, what's happening to me? This has been quite a long mail. I'm not so incoherent now, though I still am, so I'm sorry, if you read this and it wasn't very sense making. I have to do a Personal Essay, about something that happened to you that's worth writing about, that you can let the teacher read. So I couldn't think of anything good, but I decided in the end to write about the time I went to stay with my German Penfriend and she turned out to be a Hitler lover, and she said he was grate because he killed Scottish people, and she beat me up, and poured salt in my cuts, and wouldn't let me sleep on bed, only on the floor, but not like in a sleepover where you have a sleeping bag, but in the way where it's solid stone type, and you don't even have a blanket, and how she tied me up and locked me in a cupboard and told her parents I'd run away when I was actually upstairs in the cupboard, and how I used to sneak out of the window during the night, and go and look at the trees and the sea and things in the moon, until one time she woke up and saw i was gone and shut the window so I couldn't get back in and I had to wake her parents up, and how she put her bracelets and things in my case and said I stole them, but the teacher didn't really believe me, even though it was very true, because I still get nightmares about it sometimes, and it was very bad. But I'm going to write about it anyway. I love Colin. He is very nice and he did a very nice thing for me. I really do owe him one in a big way. Sorry for boring you, only you didn't have to read it if you didn't want to, only I'm glad you had, only I'm sorry that if you did you would be bored. Only I can never think of anything interesting.

apologies for yet another post. deal with it kids or you'll feel the crack of my whip, but is that really a threat or is it a promise? blame this post on the cat's that have somehow invaded the list and are currently organizing a coup... we turn our heads for a brief second and there are litter boxes on the crush page... as for me- i would be Kat...that's cat with capital K and a rather inhuman purr purrring at just the right times... ear-peircing moews of kathleen hanna in the shower... "see the girls with the feathered hairrrrrrrr wearing plastic not real leatherrrrr boots go way up to therrrrrrre. meow. meow meowmeowmeow meowwwwwwwww" this sounds rather in human as well.... like i got a stilletto peircing my tail... (any edged sinister kid that knows bikini kill rather well will giggle at this part...but bikini kill and sinister seem to be on opposite ends of the spectrum and i seem to be the only one with legs enough to straddle the line b/w the hards and the softies) -lisa-KAT rrrerrrrrrr!and darting under bed's when jordiet walks in the room to yank her tail b/c she's kathleen hanna screeching. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.

Sinister: will you want me in six weeks time?
by elenita99 01 Dec '00

01 Dec '00

Hello my favourite list, Well I really have been doing nothing the last week-end. That was great. I hung around in pyjamas almost 48 hours. Mmm I did do some stuff in fact. Like I watched cartoon and shows in catalan and it was dead fun. Have you ever watched Star Trek in catalan?? Well it�s a bit like watching Zorro in Japanese I guess. I would tape it for you for fun it is but I don�t own a video recorder :/ Still, I think that I like catalan because it�s a funny language, as simple as that. You should hear the people in Star Trek saying �Bon dia, Comandant�. Well maybe it doesn�t sound fun like that, I admit, but I had a good laugh. I also listened to �Definitely Maybe� by Oasis from the first to the last track. No I am not insane. It�s just that I own that record and I hadn�t played it for at least 4 years. So I did, and I remembered when I was not even 15, in 1994 that is, and that I was starting with lots of excitment to be an indie kid. My mum thought it was teenage stuff, and let me go to the Oasis gig with my indie-cute-boyfriend-at-that-time. I thought he was about to be a fanzine star cos he interviewed Shed 7the same week. Well being almost 15 was fun, it seems. I was looking at my bro in that �but you can�t understand� way that I can�t stand nowadays when I see school girls in the street ;) Then this week I had a Beatles revival. In three days time I listened to all their albums, and I jumped and sang "Ob-la-di-ob-la-da" at top volume in the living. I just forgot how the Beatles are the kings of pop songs (eeer I don't mean to raise a debate here, if you disagree it's fine by me ;) Mmm is that the 21-year-old effect of being nostalgic and listening to old stuff? Maybe it's the beginning of boredom for me. It's the first day of December today. That is good news because I can start eating again. End of month is such a tough period these days�Hopefully by the end of December I'll be at home in France and my mum will feed me, and then if everything goes fine (toes crossed) I'll be in Big London City for new year's eve and I hope some listees will feed me :) Well if not I will drink beer and it will feed me, it's made with cereals so it should be alright. I hate buying Xmas pressies. I am always in lack of ideas. I asked my brother what he wanted, so he sent me a little list with CDs and stuff and I was amazed: I was expecting him to ask for some more Slipkot and Korn and Perfect Circle, and...he wants me to get him an Eels album!!! Maybe I'll finally manage to do something decent with that boy. Mmm ok I should be off now to see how my scary teacher is mean at people doing their presentation, so I will get even more scared for my 30 mn presentation in 2 weeks. Luckily it's Friday.
