Sinister: *...oh, bother, i'm not wearing any.

HELLO SINISTER ARE YOU READY TO ROCK? THe bridge discussion is quite strange. i had to include this bit i had run across just the day before, because it seemed quite creepy to me. it's not often a subject i think about. included: Go to the side of a bridge and look down. It could be any type of bridge, It could expand over anything. There is always an impulse to jump. A little inkling that acknowledges ones ability to land, to smash, to breach, to impede the regular flow of traffic or water or whatever. This is the reason that I would want to be an architect. The structure, by its very function, symbolizes the strength of transition as well as the ability to suddenly wreak havoc on one's self and ones environment. __________________ it's from some guy's page:http://babel.massart.edu/~jenhall/tda319x/hoyt/pages/stateg.html i hope he isnt' on sinister and gets pissed at me for copying that. i just thought it was odd. I realize i dont' recognize many of the faces here. you kids just don't appreciate what you got! back in the day, i was a STAR..... i was 13 on the crush list!! i was TIED with isobel campbell i tell you!!! and now, barely a soul knows. i think i'll sit in a darkened room reading old archives. "Honey mummy, i'm ready for my close-up!!" Thank you to the bloke with the filthy lap, the bloke in the photo "tummy" That was really a pleasant concept....NOT!! was it marie, who mentioned the movie better than chocoloate? i haven't seen that. some girls in my group were talking about it. well, i guess it couldn't be half bad if it has actual lesbians in it. at least it's not Chasing Amy. (dont' write me again about chasing amy, i dont' give a rat's ass!) i met a random b/s fan last week in the caf. i spotted her in a grungy orange tshirt, and wondered vaguely if it was the isobel/fox shirt. no, it coudlnt' be. but i was still curious. so i tried to catch up so i could see. when i got inside, she turned around and was wearing"b/s support the boyne hunt saboteurs" and i dashed over, pointed at the shirt and blurted "Belle and Sebastian!!" and we bonded over lunch. it was very surprising. Of course i had to make her jealous by telling her i had seen them live, and met them. Har. i don't see anyone else round these parts what has ate a apple what stuart murdoch shined, nope nope nope. i apologize profusely for my egomaniacal tirade, and with that i shall leave you.

Does anyone on here know where I may be able to get Clientele stuff? The only thing I have is a music video, don't know to which song, and the only thing I have seen for sale is a seven inch on the Darla site. I'm in the 'States, so it'd be nice if that's where I could order something 'cause of postage costs and all. - J +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: BDO & Gomez...news from South Australia
by Radiation Girl 08 Feb '00

08 Feb '00

Hi everyone, This is officially my third posting - how exciting! Not really, but I just wanted to use and exclamation mark. What the hell !!!! Finally, second-to-last on the list, the Big Day Out visited Adelaide last Friday, and a fine day was had by all. For the small population of SA of around 1 mil - 20,000 young and youngish packed the Wayville showgrounds in 39C heat (almost 103F) to see such drawcards as the Chilli Peppers, Nine Inch Nails, Blink 182, Chemical Brothers & Foo Fighters. I am terribly disappointed to announce there were no other drawcards from the UK which is quite unfortunate as I believe their music is far superior to commercial american crap (no offence intended as I am a self confessed obsessor of foo fighters and Dave Grohl), except for Joe Strummer (Clash) and the Mascaleros, unless Basement Jaxx are UK? (sorry I don't know). Other bands featured were Beth Orton (US), Magic Dirt (AUS-Mel), Spiderbait (AUS-Bris), the Cruel Sea (AUS-Mel) and various locals from Adelaide, such as Seraphs Coal & Embodiment 12:14. This was quite disappointing, as I believe there is much more talent in SA than these Christian bands (yes, they are Christian) and they are friends of mine, so I don't mean offence. My day started drinking beer, and catching the last fifteen minutes of Magic Dirt. (cry :( ). I then caught Blink 182 (unfortunately) and I really don't know what I was doing for the rest of the day until I got to see Foo Fighters & Chemical Brothers. I don't normally get into that type of music, but they were not bad at all. I still have sore legs from dancing. My night ended at Shotz in the city, dancing to smiths and b&s, and thinking what a shame of a day it was, as I didn't really get to see much that I wanted because of the people I was with, and just thankful I didn't get that burnt. Other news - Gomez are touring. They are not coming to Adelaide. I am not impressed. Adelaide always misses out on such things, where as if they don't know, they probably have a bigger fan base here than any other state. Grrrrrr, grrrrrr. I am very cross. I'm not sure that there is anything else I can tell you except it is very hot today as well (36C) and I have lots of work to do so I should go. SWEETIE - how are you? let me know how you're going with your sister.

Sinister: 11 Feb - Brownies, NYC - the Clientele
by Mark Niciu 08 Feb '00

08 Feb '00

Yo Belle and Sebastian list, This is blatant list abuse, so if you don't like that, please hit delete now and read no further! If anyone is interested in chillin' at the March Records 8th Anniversary show on Friday, 11 February, and checkin' out the Clientele, give me a buzz off of Sinista (also check out the Jeepster meetup page at http://www.jeepster.co.uk/belleandsebastian ). Wouldn't you rather check out one of the up and coming bands from the U.K. (along with four other groups from an excellent record label) for $12.25 than shell out $35 listen to that ol' quiff Morrissey (who looks old enough to be my dad and hasn't done anything cool in like a decade!) croon through shitty track after shitty track of "Your Arsenal" and "Maladjusted"?

Sinister: if you're friends with p. then you're friends with me
by Chris Heil 08 Feb '00

I really need some new friends...none of them are interested in the bands I am..except for a few B&S followers. But they aren't playing any shows anytime soon, and I want to go to shows now!! Is anyone going to the Beulah/Gomez show next month at the Roseland in NYC? And for the person who mentioned the clientele show...can you please give me some more info on that...it would be greatly appreciated.

Sinister: Get On The Bus, Forget About Jugs, Put The Blame On Me
by Peter Miller 08 Feb '00

Nick Dastoor Way Uh-Huh Uh-Huh I Like It wrote: Maybe this was just a mistyping, but isn't the expression 'shot of me'? I only mention it in case he's gone through his life getting it wrong and wondering why people look at him funny. According to my Talulah Gosh approved dictionary, both are possible. I think Nick's version is the one used by common as muck people, and mine's dead posh. Best wishes to Mr and Mrs Ailsa. Don't forget, there are plenty of married ladies already on the list, and I'm sure they'd be only too willing to help if you have any lingering doubts about what is expected of you on your wedding night. Rachel Tucker wrote: secondly, d'you know i've been on this list on and off for nearly a year (i think) now, and in all that time i've been convinced peter miller and honey were one and the same person! i have absolutely no idea why i thought that, but obviously i did so apologies to you both, and it really is true that you learn something new everyday. No need to apologise, at least not to me. The main difference is, Paul's met Patrick Moore. In fact, Britain's favourite astronomer chased Paul right the way around the narrow gallery that runs under the entire circumference of the dome of...erm...Hubble Observatory, trying to give him a kiss. There was a really powerful light on, trying to spot UFOs in the night sky, and when Patrick Moore finally caught up with Paul, the shadow of the ensuing kiss was projected right across the whole universe, and beyond. FINLAND NEWS Jarkko's lesbian president was on the news last night. Also, 68% of the population of Finland own mobile phones. Some extremists even go so far as to live in a place called Nokia. When I was on holiday at Christmas, one of the neighbours was called Jarkko. Never met him though.

Sinister: Febuary made me shiver...
by Alasdair Cook MC1996 08 Feb '00

08 Feb '00

Ole! I can't do the accent. I gat soonshine, und a clouody dey Ven it's could autside, I gat ze mounth ov Mey. If we can land a man on the moon, surely we can bring back John Belushi. Now then, what was I saying? Ah, yes. Lixi's back, Ailsa's got engaged (but ISN'T up the spout), everything's right with the world. I feel there's a pretty good chance of Struan singing at the wedding as by the time it eventually happens he'll be an old has-been doing the chicken-in-a-basket holiday camp cabaret circuit, and will take any job that's offered. Sing us the old hits, Stuart! Cat down the pub, la la la... J.D. (does anyone else hate it when they give you that instead of real whisky? And charge you more? Bastards) : > I challenge anyone to relate an anecdote as alarming as Juicy > Luicy's. Alisdair, you're hard, you must have some tales to tell. Well, not being hard at all (in fact being a complete cowardly custard), and being a good-natured soul I have done my best all my life to avoid physical confrontations. The one exception, as seems the trend here, is with my brother, who due to his annoying nature in his formative years (though less so now, thankfully), I would scrap with approximately 14 times a day. Due to me being generally older and bigger, this would usually end up with him being thrown against walls, into the bathtub, out windows etc. We usually get along fine now, as being about the same size (ie not very small) the truth is that instigating a proper fight nowadays would leave both of us with actual real bodily damage, and would probably wreck the house as well. So I'm afraid I have no stories to tell of my hardness. Actually, hang on a minute, there was that time I attacked a nun with a fence post for looking at my pint, but that's really of no interest. I mean I attended the funeral, what more did they want? Mark: > Honey was spot on. I could buy you all, easy. Being a billionaire's a laugh > a minute - Over the weekend I philanthropically repaid the national debt of > San Salvador, and this morning I bankrolled Osama Bin Laden for the next > decade, and on Thursday I'm having Peter Miller flown over to Putney to give > me the best oral relief north of the Sierra Nevada. Ah, this is the life... And that's not all, I'm afraid. Mark can often be seen being driven up and down the streets of London in his pink Rolls, by his driver Porker, throwing digestive biscuits at homeless people and screaming "WHY DON'T YOU ALL GET A JOB, YOU DISGUSTING SMELLY FILTHY PROLES! AND DON'T TRY EATING THOSE DIGESTIVES, I PUT RAT POISION ON THEM!" All the while Porker says "Yes m'lud, of course m'lud. More digestives, m'lud?", before driving Mark back to his luxury apartment in Chipping Peagrove. Some of this may not be true. But he does have a porker in his pink rolls. Jim said billionaires can't be nerds, but did anyone see Bill Gates on TV the other day, joining up with Richard Branson to conquer the world like in Risk or something? Now I'm no fashion expert, but you'd think the richest man in the world could invest in better jumpers. Which reminds me of a joke: Q: What do you get if you cross a sheep and a kangaroo? A: A sound beating. There has been some rather disturbing talk recently of people being tempted to drive cars off bridges/into trees etc, all of which reminded me of the very funny scene in the best movie ever (Annie Hall, like you didn't know) featuring Chris Walken in possibly his first film, and Woody Allen: Duane (Chris): I tell you this because, as an artist, I think you'll understand. Sometimes when I'm driving ... on the road at night ... I see two headlights coming toward me. Fast. I have this sudden impulse to turn the wheel quickly, head-on into the oncoming car. I can anticipate the explosion. The sound of shattering glass. The ... flames rising out of the flowing gasoline. Alvy (Woody): (Reacting and clearing his throat) Right. Tsch, well, I have to-I have t-o go now, Duane, because I-I'm due back on the planet earth. Scott: > I sort of measure > how much I must like the girl in question by how horrible whatever we do is. > I really liked this girl a lot, once. The proof lies in the fact that we > saw "Speed" together. I endured Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock for her. Pretty impressive. Why only last summer I endured "Notting Hill" to be with a girl I liked. Are Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts more annoying than Keanu and Sandra? It's close. However, I did get her to come and see "Last Night" with me, so it was almost worth the torture of seeing the floppy-haired one in action. Reading Robin's account of what he think Nick Dastoor does at work has suddenly put the idea into my head of Nick as Mickey Mouse in Fantasia. You should try it, it's very funny. I wish everyone to call him Nicky Mouse from this point onwards, if only for my own amusement. I also have to reiterate the points made by Stevie and Mouse about Wonderland being fantastic. It also has a brilliant soundtrack, which could almost say makes the film. I'm quite excited this week, as I'm finally going to get to see VIC GODARD after months of waiting after his last gig here was cancelled. Also I was called a freak the other night, but in a good way. It left me smiling, anyway. It was because I'd heard of the band the guying talking to me was in, Tacoma Radar. Apparently they were on John Peel last week, I don't know if anyone heard them. Right, enough, the men are here again. Don't they know white coats are out of fashion?

Sinister: ahhh, wedding bells!
by rachel tucker 08 Feb '00

08 Feb '00

hey everyone! firstly CONGRATS to ailsa!! i've never met her but she is my favouritest listee whose posts i always look forward to, so massive props, but you've got to keep it sinister even when you're a married woman y'know. secondly, d'you know i've been on this list on and off for nearly a year (i think) now, and in all that time i've been convinced peter miller and honey were one and the same person! i have absolutely no idea why i thought that, but obviously i did so apologies to you both, and it really is true that you learn something new everyday. which is nice... thirdly and most importantly, my bestest friend alex did the most wonderful thing in the world yesterday so she deserves a big thank you and a mention...not that she'll read this cos she's not on sinister, probably cos she doesn't actually like b&s, but she deserves this anyway. picture the scene: rachel, having just watched the end of gomenghast, is trying to suppress the slight disappointment that the bbc hadn't changed the ending so the evil steerpike had triumphed (well, i always like the baddies best) when the phone rings. it's alex. ' rach, have you got any blank tapes handy?' 'yeah, somewhere, why?' 'b&s are on steve lamacq, i think it's the bowlie set...' 'aaarrrggghhh!!! gotta go. bye!' at which point rachel goes hurtling up the stairs, trips straight over the bloody box full of old tapes that for some dumbass reason she left there last summer that has never got in the way before, and falls BANG into the door. slightly concussed she then staggers into her room, grabs the nearest tape and gets nearly all of the bowlie set! yay! unfortunately she now has a fairly considerable bruise on her forehead...still, the things we do for our loved ones....and i did feel obliged to tape it given that i thought oxford united's relegation battle was more important than bowlie at the time (i was wrong) so i didn't go. what's a bruise anyway! and a slight lump.... worth it though, and i wouldn't have been able to spend today listening to it over and over without alex, so cheers mate! now richard said this: >...( i would >also like to mention the pale fountains and shack and michael and john head >but that is another post on its own! ) i'm assuming here that the guys in shack have therefore been in other bands so could some kind people point me in the direction of some old stuff because everyone in my house is sick of me continually playing 'hms fable' even though it is fantastic. something new on my stereo would be much appreciated. and the lovely nick dastoor said: >I saw Booby Gillespie and Mani on >the TV recently. Bobby was doing his complete stoner act and it was quite >painful to watch. My friend says she knows he's a tit but it doesn't matter. >But it puts me off. I'm not very good at taking bands seriously when their >members are so daft. i was going to restrain myself from commenting on this, cos i can't manage rational sentences where primal scream are involved (there are some who would say that i can't manage rational sentences at all, and they could be right....) but i honestly do believe that the scream's music rises above whatever their band members are actually like. to me the music is far more important than those who create it, most of the time. like take that. i mean everyone knows that gary no mates barlow is a twat, but he still wrote some of my favouritest songs ever, and was a key member of one of The Four Greatest Bands Of All Time (go on, guess the other three...alright then, don't bother), so who gives a shit if he seems one of the most smugly irritating people in the world? i don't have to talk to him do i? and the laws of probability would suggest that at least one member of b&s could be (whisper it) a right old prick. the laws of probability are often wrong though. at least, they were when i took (and failed, and subsequently dropped out of) stats... however, at the same time, those instinctive personal judgements we make of people, and celebrities in particular, do come in handy for the heated debates that are contested in our common room for hours on end to alleviate the boredom. the britney versus christina argument is fierce at the moment. i'm heavily defending britney cos that christina aggywhatsit looks a right old slut, and britney seems quite nice. i think she has the superior marketing team... blimey, my fingers hurt now. well, the two i type with do anyway. lovin' and leavin' you rachel xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
