hello you dodgy lot, time for some more britishisms and droll sarcasm! with your fave rave, erstwhile sinister sweetheart LesleyJo back in black kicking it old skool wit dat gentle waves flava. So how are you lot doing. i must confess i've been too broken hearted and absorbed in "real life" to read the list for a while. err yes. well if you must know, xmas break was pure cathartic, crucible-esque (not the play, but the concept itself) misery. I'm still working on my horribly mangled betrayed heart. And trying to be as gay as possible. Gaying it up, if you wish to know. Georgie dickie, your post was enigmatic, droll and amusing at best. labyrinth is one of the coolest movies ever. i used to fantasize i could send my baby brother off to the goblins just like that chick whose name i can't remember. so what is up with that new record? oh ho. how about that stuart murdoch, he's a fine upstanding young lad fer shurr. i think isobel is quite fetching for her gender. and yes, cunning. Ten biggest wanks: Lili Taylor, janeane garofalo, Beth Littleford of the daily show. va-va VOOM. It's practically scandalous, she's an erotic goddess in disguise!! Hooray!~ it's feeling jes like olden times, with the posts bitching about how sinister used to be better, and baa to tweeness, you twee hello kitty bastards. well boo to you! cos sinister was WAY better before anyone had ever heard of it, and no one was even on the list to see how fokkin cool it was, it was THAT cool, if you even knew how cool it was you would drop dead of terminal hipness. Yeah, so there. Eat the existential void, ya bastards! nothingness kicks yall sorry asses, so there. I dont' care what anyone says, i still mourn my MIA gentle waves live recording. OH to hear the sexy song again!!! >>or if Zoloft is putting its plan for world domination into effect by If so, i must be a massive asset to the new world order. so here i am. so sue me!! Go see PECKER> it's a bloody great film and i laughed out loud many times. and Lili Taylor is nothing short of ravishing in this particular role. OWWW!!! i think with all this titillation i could explode anytime soon, so if you wanna say hello best do so right away before i'm a mess of dripping liquid and nought more. pureed sanitarily, thee lesleyjo and company http://members.tripod.com/rebelstrange to the pure, all things are pure--- http://members.tripod.com/rebelstrange/buxoms.html ***The Buxoms: Svengali-free since 1998!!*** ______________________________________________________ Sent by FortuneCity Mail at http://www.fortunecity.com Join now and receive 20Mb of free web space and E-mail +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Masquerading as superheroes
by Joseph Askins 05 Feb '00

05 Feb '00

Been a while since my last post... Shafted yesterday's Psych 1 lecture and skipped on over to the comic store instead. Walked out with $15 dollars worth of new comics (ten years ago, that would have bought me, oh, 15 comics...today that buys me five) and again skipped over to Whizz Records. I had reviewed the new Southpacific album this week and absolutely fell in love, so I talked to Breeze about ordering my own copyt. I can almost guarantee that I'll be broke by the time it comes in, but knowing the speed at which Breeze works, I'll probably be out of school and raising kids by the time he finally calls me to tell me they've arrived. Made it home in one piece, read my Batman comics, and took a nap. Woke that evening, got some dinner, and footed it over to Drew's dorm room. He was wanting to read the latest Sin City and was finished making tapes of my "Tigermilk" and "LLPJ" CDs (and now that I think of it, I don't believe I made it out of his room with them...that sneaky rat). We sat around, expounding on the brilliance of Frank Miller and carrying on about whether or not "Watchmen" was REALLY better than "Dark Knight Returns". We're such nerds. Looking at the clock, we realized that it was almost time to head over to the Ranch, and we didn't have a ride. Thankfully, Tony hadn't left his apartment left and was willing to swing by and pick us up. Got to the Ranch around 9:30. The Ranch is a big, ranch-style house right outside of Columbia, and the guys who live there are always bringing bands in to play in the oversized basement. A spacy noise rock extravaganza of a band called the Allscars were playing. Someone said that they had connections to Nation of Ulysses and Dischord Records, but I never pursued to find out what their story was. They played well, with the lead singer/trumpeter guy providing more entertainment through his dancing than through the actual music. Near the very end of their set, he ran into the crowd, handing people whistles and kazoos to play. I was one of the lucky recipients, but again, I don't believe I made it out of the basement with my whistle. After it was all over, we hung around, trying to decide what to do. Drew was talking to a few of our friends from the radio station, while I was chatting it up with an attractive little number with short dark hair and an equally short skirt. Lost interest in her after she told me that she hadn't read "High Fidelity" but insisted that it couldn't be any better than "Our Noise". Blasphemy. And just as I was figuring out what to put on her mix tape, no less... Drew, Tony, and I drove over to our friend John's house for post-show refreshments (Pabst Blue Ribbon and burgers cooked on John's new George Foreman grill). John had a few video tapes lying around, so we popped one in--"Real TV: Disasters Caught on Tape!" Nothing we haven't seen in similar shows on Fox every week, but it fit the atmosphere. Drew and Tony left right before a few more radio station kids showed up. I stayed there until 4:00, listening to Big Star and Dusty Springfield. Everyone headed out or turned in around the same time, and I got a ride back to the dorm. My roommate was nowhere to be found--probably off in his girlfriend's bedroom, where he can be found most of the time--and I crashed as soon as my head hit the pillow, my head filled with dreams of Batman and girls with good taste.

Sinister: Sarah Cracknell - I want to be Sarah Cracknell - either that of Hailey Mills
by Robert Foster 05 Feb '00

05 Feb '00

Hello shit bags. Look what I've got for you beauties, something from the NME, corr, look at the legs on this: << BELLE & SEBASTIAN's Stuart David has NOT left the band - and has instead finished the latest album from his other outfit Looper. Rumours on the band's internet sites were rife that David had quit the group - but his spokesperson said that instead, he'd been busy completing new Looper album 'Geometrid', out through Jeepster at the beginning of May. She said: "There's nothing mysterious going on. Stuart is still very much a part of Belle & Sebastian, and is now with the band busy putting the finishing touches to their forthcoming album." She continued that Belle & Sebastian had just one more week in the studio before recording was completed. The members would then concentrate on packaging and artwork, she said. No titles are available yet, but it was due out late spring/summer through Jeepster. The spokesperson also revealed that various members of Belle & Sebastian were also likely to feature on 'Geometrid', named after a type of moth which has caterpillars known as 'loopers'. Many of the band will also feature on the new Gentle Waves album, the side project of Belle & Sebastian's Isabelle Campbell. "Belle & Sebastian are kind of like The Gentle Waves backing band," she explained. The Gentle Waves album, which is not yet titled will be out nearer the summer, also through Jeepster. In the meantime, Belle & Sebastian will release their first three EPs in a set on March 6. Titled 'Lazy Line Painter Jane', the package will contain 12 songs in a slipcase and will retail for £9.99. >> +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Isobel's rampant meglomania continues apace
by Nick.Dastoor＠guardian.co.uk 05 Feb '00

05 Feb '00

... from the NME piece: "Belle & Sebastian are kind of like the Gentle Waves backing band" she explained.* In other news, just as things threatened to turn sour, I spied "Subject: Sinister: The Penguin Book of Massive Knockers" in my in-box and I knew all was right with the world. This confusion between Peter Miller and our Lord and Father has happened before, I think. Can it just be that they share the same intials? I don't think so. I mean no one mixes them up with Princess Margaret, do they? Well not on this list, anyway. > Of course their new album is fantastic, it's just that slagging > it off was the nearest I could get to civil disobedience. I just wanted to give this a second airing. 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. Patrick Malahide also wrote: > So some of you are finally shut of me. 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. My dad reached middle age thinking frogspawn was called 'frogs born'. Twee fucker. Nick xx * Don't worry elle. I love Isobel really and make a point of 'encouraging' her on a regular basis . It's just fun to tease. Like with that girl at school who smelled of spam. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Pokémon to Hefner, via Isobel and Moomins
by Greig Marshall 05 Feb '00

05 Feb '00

Just a fleeting thought. Does Honey have a secret cheeky reason for getting a .org rather than a .com? I am joyous to inform you all that *you* too can do an "é" by holding down Ctrl-Alt and pressing e. Try it, it's fun. >You can learn a lot from 7 year olds Lucy, especially about Pokemon, which is >bollocks right, cos in Japan ( and I'm sure someone's gonna prove me wrong >here)they call it Pocket Monsters, but over here we give it some sort of noncey >fucking handle like Pokemon. I do believe they are called "Pokémon" here so as to not confuse Pocket Monsters with the "Monster in my Pocket" toys of the 80s. Monster in my pocket were extremely poor rubber things, no substitute for Transformers. Moomins, the cartoon series was run on Children's BBC a few years ago. I watched it, I couldn't resist it but I still don't know why. I too have dreampt of Moomins but only once and it was a nice dream. Some psychology dept of a university has concluded we don't dream enough, and when we do, we forget our dreams. Strange, when I dream I don't forget if for days. Enough of this relentless not-nice-ness about Ms. Campbell's prosterior. You'll make her self-concious, and when B&S become self-concious, it'll be a very dark day for us all. I have a nice Monty Python calendar over there. See it? Beside the scanner? I wonder if anyone in an earlier time zone has one, so they can tell me what the next day's picture will be before it's 12 midnight here. That would be wizard. Finally, I sent off for a B&S poster and the Looper "Who's afraid of Y2K" 10". Apparently, the Poster is 50" x 70" and only one pound. It hasn't arrived yet, I suspect the inces was a writing error, and it's only 50x70cm. Still, that's good. Hefner are a fine band. May God Protect Your Home is ace. A bit saucy, the thing he refers to as "home" in the song, I wish I could sing like Darren. I was one of the people who helped put a decent band on the number 1 spot. I got the limited edition 10", mine's number 1027 of about 10 zillion "limited" edition vynil pressings. Enough of my pesky whitterings, I felt I had to write. Greig xx Oh, and be sure to look at the "SETI Boy" drawing in the "Look what we did today, Mummy" page. Go on. I did it, I did. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)missprint.org".

Sinister: The Penguin Book of Massive Knockers
by Peter Miller 05 Feb '00

05 Feb '00

I think some of you need to have your flies lowered and your tongue bitten to calm you down a bit. Form an ordererly queue. Speaking of which, I have trouble wearing my bus t-shirt since that Dirk Diggler shot appeared on the body fascism page. Speaking of which, ha ha, Paul got the blame for slagging off Primal Scream! It wasn't Paul, it was me. Of course their new album is fantastic, it's just that slagging it off was the nearest I could get to civil disobedience. It's a great shag album, especially track number two, "Accelerator". Go-Kart Mozart is a great shag album too. And "Drinkin' Um Bongo" is more subversive than "Swastika Eyes". Paul, not only did you get the blame for slagging off Primal Scream, your archive now has the word "swastika" in it. That should clear the glue out of your head. I told you not to use that Pritt Stick as a Vick's Inhaler. Think yourself lucky, Reid Dossinger says his hair's just a load of shit sticking out of his head. Reid, you should change shampoos, mate. No wonder Isobel was frightened that time you tired to lure her into your car with no door handles on the inside. My computer has more viruses than sub-Saharan Africa. I blame you lot for pumping raw sewage into my hard disk. As a result I have over-reacted and got rid of loads of e-mail addresses. So some of you are finally shut of me. Until I look them up again. If my calculations are correct, at this very moment, Oon will be at Hong Kong racetrack, putting her life savings on Duchamp's Fountain in the 4.30. Happy Chinese New Year to those of you of an Far Eastern disposition. Do you know how close I got to the kingfisher the other day? Very close indeed. The fish-obsessed arsehole didn't even realise. Good job I was brought up by Apaches. Good news for 70s WHO fans - the obligatory BBC sessions album is coming out, appropriately enough, on Valentine's Day. Oh shit, what if no one sends me a card....who will I be able to turn to?

Sinister: To all good things.
by Alexander Borgia 05 Feb '00

It is with sad regret that this will be my last post to the Sinister list. After reading "13 Point Plan to Destroy America" from Steve C. I got really bothered. I do not think this feeling will go away soon so I have decided to unsubsribe to the list as I do not feel I would make a positive contribution right now. Perhaps I may return when I am no longer bothered. I am glad for the time that I have been participating with the list and for the new friends I have made. I hope to continue these friendships. I have nothing but the highest praise for Miss Honey and that will never change. I have written to Steve and explained my reasons, and that it was nothing to do with him. I feel we understand each other and we are continuing our correspondence.

Sinister: The Kingdom of Heaven Must Be Taken By Storm
by Walkn10＠aol.com 04 Feb '00

04 Feb '00

Let me state for the record that I sincerely wish I hadn't send that long, angry missive to Sinister last night. I'm quite upset that several folk who I'm good friends with on the list took my words personal and now are a bit cooled on posting to the list. I didn't intend to make anyone self-conscious of their "cool factor" but it looks like thats all I achieved, and thats regretful. Believe me when I tell you that I didn't have any particular person or persons in mind when I wrote that, and I didn't mean to scare away any newbies by any means. Its a case of my frustration getting the better of me and I suppose the better course of action would have been to send the email to Honey alone, or just live with a very active delete key until the list righted itself naturally. Either way, its probably alot less intrusive and offensive than what I chose to do and I apologize for any hurt feelings and venom. I hope I got it right that time...

Sinister: sapphire bullets of pure love
by Jeremy.Simon＠jwt.com 04 Feb '00

04 Feb '00

My own dear children, gather round. MAD I was thrilled to see such warmth of feeling, by Sarah amongst others, for neglected p*o*p sensations Daphne and Celeste. My mad colleague from work appeared in the video, don't you know. He can be seen at the end spinning briefly on his head. Not many people can do that, so he was specially hired. Can anyone else perform unique b-boy moves? I presumed that I could do the Vanilla Ice one where he grabs his left foot with his right hand and jumps through the loop thus formed. but I couldn't. Ol' Icey makes the most difficult of dance moves look like a piece of choreographic cake. FREAKISH Another friend here, who is one of three eversoslightly freakish but beautiful triplets, was also filmed for the D&C vid. All three of them, however, ended up on the cutting room floor, in what no doubt resembled a bizarre celluloid all-in lesbian incest wrestling romp. In my mind. CRAZY There have been some bad tidings in the magical world of Sinister of late. I blame this gloomy February weather. Unless you're a Southern Hemisphere Sinisterine, in which case I blame that scorching summer sun. Drives you crazy, that old sun. PSYCHO I'm going to add to the furore by saying how *much* I've enjoyed reading some posts of late. I challenge anyone to relate an anecdote as alarming as Juicy Luicy's. Alisdair, you're hard, you must have some tales to tell. The image of Luicy wielding a bread-knife, psycho-style, is beautifully haunting, and will be hard to beat. NUTS I for one was delighted to see that Charles Schultz has stopped drawing Peanuts. I'll be glad to see the back of 'em, annoying little buggers. OK, the TV show spawned "Seeing Other People", but those round faced freaks were the only reason I didn't buy the Daily Mail. Oh, that and not being an outrageous Tory bigot. Goodness me, that was an inconsequential post. How are you all? Glad to hear it, me too. J. D.

Sinister: He rooted it oot!
by Sleeka Sounds 04 Feb '00

04 Feb '00

alright, had a few pints at lunchtime and can't be arsed working. so hello to all the folks who were at the poof caff last friday, sorry the first few were really shite I'd have done them again but you looked a bit bored. And I didn't know Evan Dando had already baggsied Pancho and Lefty. BUT I feel big thanks to trousers and sarah and hopkins for letting me and julia in your house. And hello to the Juicy Lucy, and sorry to carsmile for not chatting, cos I'd have liked to but i didn't know it was you. And kisses to everyone else, if you want more get in touch. Not as good as last time I know, but it will all come together eventually, I can feel it. You should all come to Scotland for the crack. And the craic too. And big hugs and kisses to the ones who made a journey down to London for it. Drill me. But I've been drinking beer, and beer is good for you. It makes you clever, and it doesn't give you a beer belly like what I've got, that's the kebabs and cheese and chips and the other shite you crave when you're steaming. Folk have been drunk since Jesus. Jesus was a fucking laugh when he had a few, he was always making up nonsense and saying it was a beatitude or something. Jesus is fucking great for a laugh. Crumbs, is he still on the list? The good thing is, I'm allowed to listen to cd's at work now through my headphones. I've been listening to this Jane Birkin cd, it was dirt cheap and it's got a saucy photo on the cover. When I say saucy I mean it's a close up of her head, years ago, which does the job for me. It's the gap! Mind you, she's still alright, she was pretty in that Cinderella film, despite being about a million years old, like Stephen Pastel. Only woman. Nice willy! Have you lot seen the labia_1 picture on the body parts page! Bloody hell! Literally!
