Sinister: the songs that set him free

hello my funky monkeys... well, i was going to indulge in a bit of chris-bashing, but as it seems that the chap is already staggering around, bleeding from every orifice (better get them nappies out babe) i'll refrain. all i have to say on the subject of anal sex is don't knock it till you've tried it. and, by the way, if anybody wants to try it...... and if you aint tried it, and you're still talking about it...well, it seems that you're pontificating on a subject you know absolutely nothing about. anyway, onto twinklier things. depression. just kidding. no...the real point (and, (to quote ellen degenerate, rampant unnatural nappy-wearing lesbian) i do have one) of my mail was to pass on the following news: it seems that stu d's departure was predicted some time ago, and immortalised in song by the band; who promptly beamed said recording to mars (to where it is rumoured our sandal-wearing friend has retreated...trying to escape from the endless tabloid indifference). today, at the winter observatory in the canary islands, the following music was translated by one of those big telescopey things... what follows has been passed on by international spies. keep it under your hat. if you have one. otherwise, go buy a pack of pampers. not only can they be crafted into a variety of stylish headgear but they serve a whole kaleidoscope of purposes. and you never know when you're going to dribble.. this is what the spies heard ----------------------------------------- silence. a rustle. a moaning. a sound of someone sticking a bead up their nose. nothing for a moment, then a lone guitar is heard languidly playing. the song is an old martian melody that sounds uncannily like "hit me baby one more time" by our britney. abruptly this cuts out and the music begins. experienced music-lovers will recognise the tune as vaguely reminiscent of "leader of the pack" by the shangri-las. take one- sounds of isobel shuffling up to the microphone in a low-cut, short leather dress, her beautiful blonde bob bespiked with motorcycle grease. more sounds. as of struan and mick cooke shuffling either side, also both wearing low-cut short leather dresses. sound of someone undoing a nappy (no, sorry, i don't know where that came from...) fingers begin to click, toes to tap. a groovy mood is set.. struan: hey isobel, is that stuey d's ring you're wearing? isobel: nah, i got it out of a cracker...... sound of collective groans, drinking of coffee, and much wringing of terry towelling.. take two- sounds of isobel, struan and mick shuffling round in velvet catsuits...fingers, toes...you know the drill by now.. struan: hey, bella...is that stuey d's ring your wearing? isobel: oh...erm...yea, do you like it? music stops once more.. muttering of "no, you stupid twee bitch, uh-huh...its uh-huh..can you say uh-huh?" sound of a ginger scottish man being hit over the head with a hello kitty pencil case isobel: "uh-huh" struan: so, how'd you meet him? and our belle bursts into song... "i met him in a spud-u-li-ike he looked pretty cheesy get the picture? (yes, we see) that's when i fell for the looper at the back... i heard he was classy it seemed true to me he made shirley bassey look like debbie mcgee (made shirley bassey look like de-eb-bie mcgee) they said that he wus twee-ee but that really quite appealed to me-ee that's when i fell for the looper and his slacks.. when i saw the cut of his corduroy (roy...roy) i knew that there could be no other boy (knew that there could be no o-o-o-ther boy) oh how it twitched my pelvis when he sang "a century of elvis" that's when i fell for the looper's great lunch-pack i knew that we could fly to the moon although he couldn't quite hold a tune (tune...tune) he kind of stood around while we made that great big b&s sound but i still loved him he's so good in the sack... <sudden cessation of music....we hear isobel's anguished voice recount the tale> and then there came that day...when stuey went away... he vanished and he never said goodbye.. he left my eyelids damp...my finger's getting cramp...its hard to please yourself without a guy... i saw the passing lorry and the giant "vimto" pallet i heard a cough, the load fell off, and rolled towards the chalet(t) my heart missed a beat stu was in there would he be prepared? (nononononononono) it seems i lost him at camber sands (sands sands) he said he liked one of the other bands (lips...bands) he started a new life he buggered off to join his wife i'll never forget him the looper with the cap.. and now it seems like i'm nearly done without him, b&s are just minus one there's very little time to sa-ave.. i'm off to be a gentle wa-ave bugger sebastian i'm going to make a stack.... <fade> (looper at the back give me on-one) (looper at the back now he's go-one) (looper at the back been outsho-one) (looper at the back carry o-on) with that, the tune fades away into an eerie silence, and the theme tune of "wizadora" can be heard playing. someone is heard shouting "where's me fuckin money?" ends. -------------- so, my friends, i bring this discovery to you all, and trust you will find it illuminating. i think it says a lot (i worry a little about what it really says...) anyway, i'm off to be buggered by my lovely boyfriend, who has waited patiently for me to finish this mail....hey baby...if-a-lovin-you-is-wrong-i-don-wanna-be-right..... i'm a terry towelling man myself. ian ps. i heard some lesbians find that their tongues swell to such an extent, that they have to borrow wheelbarrows to push the offending organs around in....grown women pushing wheelbarrows....god help us and protect us. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Kicking With The Other Foot.....
by ELZober＠aol.com 16 Feb '00

16 Feb '00

ahhhh..... as the playground turns..... I don't post much.... mostly because i usually get flamed..... but today it seems everyone is so too roasting gay's, lesbian's, crusaders and innocent bystanders.......... is this what we've come to? people prancing around like school bullies holding out stolen lunch money for all the other kids on the playground to see..... scary thought..... anyone who knows who they are in this crazy screwed up world is someone i respect...... these day's it's hard for most people to try and decide what career to choose..... we're all busy thinking about 401k's and pension plans..... comparing the market value of our home equity loans and worrying about the interest rate on our student loans that gave us a very expensive piece of paper that's worthless...... so if, among all this, someone can find love...... find the one person they believe in their heart was the person they were meant to spend eternity with.... even if it only lasts six months or two years..... i'm envious.... because they know who they are... they know what they want and they go after it.... if you're "gay" that means you're "choosing" to face incredible diversity..... wow - that's a pretty amazing thing...... that's what love is about.... what's sad is that instead of celebrating and supporting the efforts made by those to expose the foul attempts of politicians and fat cats who want to keep a portion of our society "in the closet", we're throwing around half baked ideas and insults.... the last time i checked no one here had a direct line to God.... or Buddha.... or Allah.... or anyone else for that matter.... so who is to say that this religion is right or wrong.....? Let the proverbial "Him" be the judge..... whoever that is... whatever your beliefs, follow through with them..... if you don't like "gays", then stand up for that.... but do it on your own time.... in your own forum where your thoughts and feelings can be heard, explained and understood... if you want to change the world.... change laws that forbid people who love each other to be married simply because they are the same sex..... then do something about that.... go out and try with reasonable debate and discussion to change the world and it's views..... don't let something as beautiful as two people's love get belittled into a mud-slinging match fit for five year-olds on a playground.... it's not right.... so, that's my two cents..... as far as sex goes..... everyone gets fucked... that's a cold hard fact... women often think they're making love.... but when she rolls over thinking about what kind of wedding they'll have and what to name their kids.... he's rolled over thinking about the clutch in his car which may or may not be slipping..... i'm not all that interested in my own sex life.... or anyone else's for that matter.... "gay" or otherwise.... i don't choose partners based on how i think they'll be in the sack (perhaps i should rethink this, eh? :) ) i have a feeling that "gay" peole don't either..... anyway - if you don't agree with me.... write me.... the world is changed through healthy debate and good conversation..... i'm open to anything anyone has to say .... instead of getting caught up in all this, why not get back to fluffy stories about daily lives and music? elle +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

But hey ho, only 7 >weeks until the next one. Ali, Much as I'd like to believe that Stuartmmm got so excited by the occasion that he wanted the pain with the pleasure, I think he's actually saying 'FUCKING HIT IT, BEANS!' as in Chris 'Beanz' Geddes, who is giving the his organ a damn good thrashing at the time. Someone asked how wee karn was and I thought they had heard she was ill or something, but then I decided they were interested in her height. I heard she was two inches tall in shoes but I might be wrong. Sometimes I think it would be nice if all the references to 'homosexuality' in Section 28 were replaced by 'heterosexuality' and then we'd have world peace. Mind you. it is spooky how the advent of disposable nappies ties so well with the liberalisation of the laws on homosexuality. I now have no idea who idleberry is cross with. Nick xx On my turntable: Boy George's 'No Clause 28'. Ok, it's not. I can't even remember how it went. Can anyone enlighten me?

Sinister: (A lazy little fucker like me) making one of my friends feel so guilty about her cynisism. Spelt wrongly.
by Alasdair Cook MC1996 16 Feb '00

This whole Section 28 thingy is depressing me. But that doesn't mean I'm going to become profound, unfortunately. However since every argument from the catholic church is based on God's existence, an idea which I find patently absurd, there's no point in me saying anything. Apart from that whatever people do in their own bedrooms is NONE OF MY BLOODY BUSINESS. They could be playing with their model train sets for all I care. Now THAT could make for interesting sex. Train goes in the tunnel.....sorry. Choo-choo! Onto to happier things. Like Vic GODard, who was quite literally genius on a stick when I saw him at the weekend. Which made up for the fact that I had to go by myself, since certain soapboxers thought it wasn't worth 5 quid. No Stool Pidgeon, but we can't have everything we want, can we children? Else we'll go blind, I think. Or is that just wanking? Even The Nectarine No 9 sounded pretty good, after I'd almost dismissed them as boring art-wank. Which they are a bit, still. But not as much. Still, not quite as good as last year's "Kool Katz & Krazee Cittens" festival in Glasgow, when I saw Home Economics support The Apprentice Badgers. Pure Class. If anyone hasn't got The 'Badgers second album, 'Bitter Suites and Salty Settees', go out and get it now. It's on Ekoja records and it's fab. Ian: > so...down to business....alasdair, get your kecks down and bend over! Lovely Ian, you know that if I fancied boys you'd be the first on my list, but like Popeye before me, I yam what I yam. You'll just have to make do with a kiss the next time I see you. Please shave though, I don't like stubble. Martin and Arantxa moaned about their best years being behind them. Blimey, given how gorgeous they are now, their younger selves must have stopped traffic! Which is something I often do, but only if there's money in the middle of the road. Which there is, if the Barenaked Ladies are anything to go by. Also, I think Owen is just making this stuff up now to keep his reputation going. The boy must be red raw! "He wants to remember things exactly as he left them on that Sunday night." I was listening to the B&S Bowlie set again last night, something I haven't done for ages. I'd advise anyone who was there and has a copy of it to give it another listen and let them memories come a flood flood flooding back. I'm a little sad that we may never hear Winter Wooskie again, cos I really love that song. Even Paper Boat sounded quite good in context ("I think we're gonna see the sun/ I think we're gonna have some fun"). And how come I have managed to miss until now StuM shouting "FUCKING HIT ME!" near the end of LLPJ? Or is that not what he says at all? I want to be back there now, cos I'm bored. But hey ho, only 7 weeks until the next one. Genevieve: > I prefer stubble to > tigers-ears. I prefer Tiger-ears, especially when pretty girls are wearing them. And when I'm wearing them. As I've already said, stubble is bad. I never use Stage-Coach buses, only First Bus ones. Aren't I grate? Don't answer that. Sorry this has been a bit shit, I'm having to rush off. There's probably loads of hilarious errors which you can laugh at as I don't have time to check. Bye.

Re: Sinister: depression, eh?
by idle berry 16 Feb '00

16 Feb '00

I suppose you saw something in there which had a great big snotty finger directed at you in particular? Actually, I was aiming my point at anyone who felt that to say somone was depressed merely for being interesting. (that probably doesn't make grammatical sense, but I don't care right now) And yes, I reckon everyone goes through a patch of depression, regardless of the strength of that feeling. And I stick by that statement, cos I know we all have different levels, and its difficult to compare really, as what effects me might not bug you, whereas what upsets you might just be water off a ducks back for me. Its about what effects us and at what level, personally. This is the point I'm making, to anyone it might concern. And as for section 28. It sucks. It should have never been made in the first place. Its a stupid and irrelevant law and its sad that anyone should worry about what would happen if it was abolished. What are they scared of? that half the teenage population will turn homosexual? And quite frankly, I reckon if they have a law like that, they should have one preventing the promotion of hetrosexual activity. How does one promote homosexual activity anyway? what do they do, say "go gay, its great!" and then give out lots of freebies to encourage it? And where does bisexuality come into this? I dunno. What an odd law. What an odd country to have such an odd law. Cherrypips, darlings!

Sinister: ...say we've got Mother Nature wrong
by Reid Dossinger 16 Feb '00

16 Feb '00

Whew! You guys slay me! My uncontrollable laughter has *finally* died down and I can compose myself enough to compose a letter. So 'fess up: which one of you is "baby chris"? Peter? Erica? Honey? Lesley Jo? Lesley Jo is my guess. Her response was so restrained and took a suspiciously long time to show up. No reason to be ashamed...it was the funniest Sinister happening since "Hamish the Frog". Fisting?! Ha! Brilliant. And what was that bit in the "apology" letter (one of the best sequels *ever*, btw) about "didn't you read the bit where I said I didn't want to offend anyone"? I was laughing so hard I could barely pick myself off the floor. And then when "he" said "don't be so fucking anal"...well, that just about finished me off. Get it?! Anal?! Ha! Good ol' Pete Ramsdale had some things to say: > I, for one, though, am a bit disappointed that there will be no more > songs like A Century of Elvis and A Space Boy Dream. Pillory me all > you want, but I like 'em. Probably comes from listening to too much > Mogwai, Prolapse, Arab Strap, and various other bands who occasionally > like to witter on a bit over a nice tune. > Aha!! But there *will* be more songs like C of E...they'll just be in Looper form, they way they should be. I prefer my Stuart D in Looper form. It's just a little nicer, a little more in its own place. His decision makes all the sense in the world to me. Rather than trying to move B&S in a Looper direction, he saw what's what and moved on. But I'm stating the obvious now. > It will, as Fiona said, be quite interesting to hear their > fist batch of stuff written and performed without him. > Yeah, except we won't hear that for a while. He's still all over the new album, I'm sure. And I think that it'll be hard to tell a difference, anyway, since B&S are likely to have changed quite a bit for the new album and will probably continue to change. And even though I definitely think that all of the band members make their mark on the band, remember that Tigermilk and Dog On Wheels had plenty of different band members than are on the new albums (DOW being mostly just the two Stuarts, right?). Anyway, point being that even though we all know that Stuart D did plenty, I think we'll be hard pressed to spot where his departure has changed them. But I really just wanted to write and say that you people crack me the fuck UP! Nappies for arse-muscle damaged gay men? Don't even *try* to top that one. ~Reid ps. If you are a really, and I mean REALLY big Magnetic Fields fan, Stephin Merrit was on NPR on Monday night in a painfully slow and awkward interview which you can hear by going to http://whyy.org/freshair/fara.html and pulling up the program for February 14. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
