Sinister: There's no absolutes in life; only in Lloyd Cole
by P F 25 Dec '00

25 Dec '00

the wind is blowing. the streets are silent. And yet. Laura Llew cheered folks up by saying things like >>> I realize y'all expect me to be in Whoville But surely, Llaura, only Peter Miller lives in Whoville. >>> Every year I ask for a boy for the holidays and every year I'm bitterly disappointed when there's no one waiting for me under the tree. It's a shame. Maybe you should ask the boy for a holiday, or ask for a holiday for the boys, or ask the holidays for a boy? On. The air is enough to crack one's cheeks. Fireworks explode somewhere. The other night I thought, absurdly, that fireworks were going off to mark the onset of Christmas Eve. Yet it was 23 December, 23:45. The notion was silly. The point really in hand, or at issue - a back issue of Melody Maker, I think, from February 1990; Mrs Welthorpe knows what I mean - is something else that the geezer Miller would understand. It's this. Lloyd Cole has just released his greatest LP since 'X'. That's what it sounds like so far. But I've been wrong before, as far as I know. It might just be the best since Love Story. At this stage we don't know. No, there are no absolutes even in Lloyd Ccole, for some of his material has been underpar. I read somewhere that Bad Vibes contained 'bad disco'! (I'm not sure, if truth be told, that it contains disco.) But the one absolute is that at the end of it all, Lloyd will be singing like Lloyd, and cruising, and taking it easy, with someone chiming in the background, and he'll sound better than anything has for at least 20 minutes. And probably more. A deal more, as Barry Davies might put it. It's a Marshmallow World, the world of Lloyd Cole. The night is silent. Goodbye. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Shopping - Thousands of Stores.

Sinister: boys suck.
by Amy Jackson 25 Dec '00

25 Dec '00

hiya, as you will probably guess from the subject of this mail, i'm not a happy bunny right now, due to boys. well, just one boy but that's bad enough. he's called ross and he's grate and sweet and funny and he made me the bestest tape for christmas and he phones me a lot too. only he doesn't realise i like him. well, at least he didn't until last night. cos i got drunk with my friend clare and then i sent him a text message saying about how i fancy him like mad and stuff. only problem was that i had phoned him about 10 minutes before and he was with a girl. bitch. i hate her already and i don't even know who she is. me and ross are really good mates and we even kissed last week (which made me think, "hey, maybe he does like me") only then he tells me about all these girls that he likes and then about how he snogged two girls at the same time (i don't know how that happened either) apparently it was a mad three way thing...... grrr!!! why do i always pick the boys that i know i have no chance with???? he's such a star though. only when i phoned him last night he was pished too and he said i looked like a slug, or a slug looked like me and i got angry and told him to fuck off. i said sorry though, and so did he so that's ok now. oh dear. i've really screwed things up haven't i? on a lighter note it's only 2 days til christmas. happy christmas and all that. happy new year as well. well, i'm off again, cheerio, amy xxx _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: merry christmas from the depths of lurkerdom
by Rachel 25 Dec '00

25 Dec '00

WHYS AND WHEREFORES Well, i guess the subject line really says it all. But as it's my first time posting, i'll add a couple of lines that most of you probably won't read because most of you probably have better things to do on Christmas day... oh well. WHY NOT BEFORES Hi. I really meant to post long ago, when i first got out of the nursery a couple of months ago... but what happened was this: I sent off a wonderful long witty(in my dreams) introductory post... in coded HTML. What can i say? I am computer-retarded. Anyways, after that i was just too damn lazy to write it all out again, and then along came midterms and i let my email go down the drain for a few weeks... came back to 500 new messages. And, as i didn't want to post not knowing all the current and relevant and crazy stuff, i decided to catch up on all the past posts, which has taken me a long long long time. Ah well, that's what christmas vacation is for, eh? MY SPARKLING SELF Sooo... my name is Rachel, i'm 17. I live in the smelly crowded dorms of the University of Victoria usually, but at the moment i'm freezing my bum off in the yukon. No, we don't live in igloos, yes, we have running water.. but i like to fit the stereotypes,so i went dogsledding yesterday (for the first time!) It was tons of fun except for the frostbite. CONTENT It is so lovely just to sit at the fireplace with a rum and eggnog and stuart murdoch singing fox in the snow... i imagine my parents are counting the moments till i board the plane back to uni so they won't have to hear belle & sebastian again for another three months. My brother is equally antsy - his tastes run more to eminem et al. Content may also be awaiting me under the tree- t-shirts and badges graced my wishlist! NON-CONTENT A very merry christmas and a happy new year to all you wonderful people whose posts i have enjoyed so much even if i read them all about three weeks late! Lots of love and rum and eggnog and mistletoe, from The New Girl Rachel ----------------------------- Check out the latest in Z.com entertainment, produced exclusively for the net! http://www.z.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: There's no absolutes in life; only in vodka.
by Laura Llew 25 Dec '00

25 Dec '00

Christmas Day! Oh it's that time of year again when Humbert Humbert slides into his fuzzy red suit, straps on the thick black belt, and lays in wait for the young girls to come a climbing on his lap to give his beard a tug...... Now, isn't that the kind of Christmas thought that feels you with the warm fuzziness of holiday cheer and bad egg nog stomach cramps? I realize y'all expect me to be in Whoville at the moment but instead I'm suffering from a bout of insomnia. Perhaps it's excitement not for tomorrow morning but because I watched one of my FAVORITE movies tonight - Goonies. Oh it's the best! Anyway, I hope you will excuse me if I sneak in and post while y'all are busy doing the tango with tarty sugar plums. I quite like Christmas but then again I'm not the type to be opposed to anything which caters to my avarice. So, I say - Bring it Awn, Fat Boy! .. Not that he does. Every year I ask for a boy for the holidays and every year I'm bitterly disappointed when there's no one waiting for me under the tree. You would think the big guy would at least be able to spare an Elf but Noooooooo. I can at least say that Sinister has come through for me seeing as I got my x-change presents last night. I hadn't been home in a few days and it was nice to come back to a pile of packages to open. Rumor has it that Princess Honey is a good girl and doesn't open any of her gifts until Christmas Day. However, us peons can afford to show no self restraint and rip presents open as soon as we get them. I must say that I'm now in love with a girl from Oklahoma who sent me an absolutely a box full of goodies including a beautiful mug, herbal tea (mmmm), and a wonderful wonderful mix tape. Plus, I got a kicking Sinister/B&S shirt with some foxes (what else would it feature?) on it. Add that to my delights from Mr. Matthew (who is going to seranade me with "Get it on" soon) and I'm one happy lil' lolita. So, Thank You to all the listees who contributed to my little orgy of greed and many thanks to Joan of Dark for taking the time and energy to organize it all. That was very wonderful indeed! Merry Christmas & a Happy Llewd Year -- Little Llew Whew? PS - If anyone in the states has caller id which is not on a cell phone, would you be willing to do me a small favor for which I would be ever so grateful? Its really quite simple but I need it quite badly and no one I know has caller id. If you can help, just e-mail me. I would appreciate it immensely! _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Stars of SCTV are beautiful people
by Ian Wood 24 Dec '00

24 Dec '00

Hey all, I've been on here for ages, i don't remember when i joined, but haven't gotten the courage to write anything. I'm quite tired from Christmas, it's one of the worst times of the year, people are horribly crude, vicious, rude for the spirit of giving. If everyone made someone something, instead of buying presents, it'd be so much more meaningful. The cost idea of christmas has been embedded in the minds of everyone, and parents encourage it on their children. Christmas has now become, "what would _____ need, that we could get him any other time of the year" instead of "what would ______ love and remember as something meaningful and thoughtfilled". Today, I got the most meaningful present from a stranger. This woman came into my work and asked for a cd, and we didn't have it. she was from out of town and said "i'll have to come back during christmas and bring it to you, you might like it". i took it as one of those polite gestures that someone wouldn't follow through on. Today, she came in and gave me Mary Margaret O'Hara (sister of Catherine O'Hara from SCTV) both are brilliant. I also got Lucious Jackson, Drugstore and Tori Amos. I just became a recent b&s fan last june. i found out about them through my neighbour, who has now moved away. He gave me TBWTAS and i fell in love. I hope someday they come to canada to play, i don't know if it'll ever happen, so i might just have to move to see them. well, thank you for your patience, everyone have a wonderful holidays, whatever you may believe in. cheers Ian __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
