Sinister: What. Time for a Cup of Tea, Chaps.
by Erica MacArthur 28 Apr '00

28 Apr '00

Attention! I havent written in a while. Thing is, I caught my own Pussy-cat bow (yes that's pussy CAT Lucy, not just pussy!) round the door handle on my way out a couple of weeks ago and was stuck there until a couple of days ago when a kind young man heard my stifled yelps and helped me to untangle myself. You're supposed to call people who stumble on their noveux long scarves a 'Duncan'. 5 points who knows why. I really fancy Martin Kemp. He's got this twinkle in his eye, and I think he's the sort of sharp that might slip you unmarked notes and tell you to buy yourself something pretty. I'd like that. Ooh, guess what, I just WON tickets to that Belle and Sebastian Question and Answer thing, so, if anyones got any super-rude questions you want me to poke in their directions, you know where to put them. My mailbox, that is. I agree with the whole not-talking-about-the-album-yet idea. I got a copy via my Uncle Donny who is in the Secret Service, and I didn't know whether to even listen to it or not, at first.......but then it was on at our chalet party at ATP and if just felt right. But I'm not trying to tease you, honestly. My doll Hannah always waits until things are released because she thinks it's more exciting that way and I bet it is. Why don't we all gossip about other things instead. Apparently the family over the road from me have misplaced their cat, and there's a note in the window of the Sweet shop which I work in telling of a local 'Sick fiend' who is cutting the heads off people's pets. Personally, I think it's my employer Meanie MOY mincing them up (with her teeth, no less) and putting them in the begian chocolates. I only eat rapped things tested by one of the Paperboys, just to be safe. Jenowl, you know when I was driving that car in your dream? What kind of car was it?

Sinister: the man who tasted shapes
by Caroline Mary Browne 31 Mar '00

31 Mar '00

Hello Hi My name is Caroline and I'm the latest ` straight out of the nursery' type person. Look at you all smiling gleefully as you think ` great another nursery posting just what I hoped would be in my mail box hooray'. Rather than tell you a whole load of mundaneties by way of introduction I might just tell a story ........if thats okay.......... The Vicious Waves..... While in Edinburgh with a friend (Denise) last weekend we payed a visit to avalanche records. `What do you think of this' I asked Denise showing her a gentle waves cd. `I don't know but just get it' replied a very sickly hungover looking Denise. Flicking cds was also making me feel a little like vomiting and so I happily exchanged 7 pounds and ninety nine pence with the women at the counter for my gentle waves cd. After an exhausting day of climbing hills and taking photographs of me pointing at buildings we returned to our friends flat where we were staying/squating. After much effort trying to get a very silly cd player to play we gave track one a brief chance before moving swiftly on to track two then three etc. We had to turn it off because we felt like an audience at a school concert where the teachers pet plays the piano and the bold children laugh . After listening to Curtis Mayfield instead we headed of into town where we drank stimula bull- a combination of vodka gin and red bull all for the dangerously cheap price of 1.50 with a free vodka before twelve. This resulted in me saying to a random boy with what appeared to be a sleepy eye 'in a town so small theres no escape from view'. I was talking about Dublin where I live but just didnt tell him this nor mention the source of the quote. I then told him of how the streets in New York were paved with gold and so you could look at the skyscrapers from the Brooklyn Bridge. At this point I had confused a picture on the cigarette machine with reality.Talking at strangers about things which were only personally relevent seemed an appropriate mode of communication for the rest of the night before returning home for one hours sleep before getting two trains and a plane home. Previously I had just felt severely hungover but upon arriving home I felt a wave of insanity sweeping over me as waves do. Thinking sleep would be just the ticket I went upstairs and put my gentle waves cd on and tried to sleep. The red bull had, however ensured that sleep would be the very opposite to what my brain would feel like doing and so delerium/wake-sleep it was. Over this the gentle waves played causing me to hallucinate/ dream about Isobel hopping around deleriously with rabbits ears on - very scary. This was when I decided `tell mum thats what Ill do'. I told her all about the stimula bulls and how they make you insane and asked her to turn the scary music in my room off . She seemed a little frightened at my new adopted personality but turned of the music after being instructed how to work the cd player. I havent listened to the very scary waves since and am feeling a lot more intact in the mental department which was nice because it was my 21st on monday and I was forced into getting very drunk again. Sorry I know I have very much rambled on at this stage but... one last strange occurance before I go..... today when I went in to use the computers in college there were marzipan easter decorations on top of each of the computers. This was very strange I thought but I kind of wanted to eat one. One easter bunny had become squshed into what could have been an anti bunny or would it be anti easter. My friend thought that maybe there were hidden cameras and that we shouldnt eat them. It was nice meeting you . Bye now. Caroline xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzp. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Please give welcomes to the new sinister toddler
by Eric D. Brasure 31 Mar '00

31 Mar '00

Hello all. I've been reading your musings for almost a month now, and I finally decided that now would be as good a time as any to use the nursery key that I received a while back (St. Pat's Day, actually). I guess I was having too much fun playing with the alphabet blocks... I suppose that introductions are in order, so here goes. I'm an almost grown-up college student in good ol' New York City, who was introduced to B&S this past summer by a somewhat evil boy that shall remain nameless. He made me a taped copy of "If You're Feeling Sinister" and I immediately fell in love... with the music, you understand. I had already fallen in love with the boy, which turned out to be a mistake. Feel sorry for me, if you wish. Is anyone else *not* planning on buying the new single before the new album? It was rather nice of Matador to release the single here, but I don't want to spoil the album with new stuff. Does that make any sense to anyone else? I'll not bore you all anymore. Be well, and be wary of grocery store cashiers soliciting tips. Regards, Eric +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: mick cookes timing with music is better than his timing with anouncements.
by The Narrow Wizard 31 Mar '00

31 Mar '00

me again I'm affraid. just a few comments. Mick popped up to say Here's details of two forthcoming Amphetameanies gigs: Saturday 1st April The Royal Sword Stirling hmmmm the amphetameanies playing a gig exactly 200 yards from where I stay at uni, maybe I should go along, oh bugger no they come on stage at exactly the time that I will be leaving Stirling in order to go back to my horrid home town for a week. This can mean only one thing, one of the glasgow lot is gonna have to put me up and put up with me when they play nice n sleazy's. Kind offers greatfully (or even GRATEfully) received. feather boa said i lost my virginity (to a man!!!) while watching debbie does dallas (1 and 2), so that i could learn how to give a blow job. is it any wonder i'm gay? *s* which made me think of two questions 1) if she had to lose her virginity to a guy why couldn't it have been a nice guy like she deserved rather than someone who had her watch that in order to gain the necessary skills? 2) When does a lesbian lose her virginity? oh and a third question 3) why do I think of these stupid questions? OK you can relax now, have a good week without me. love owen PS. to the girl who made me smile, a kiss, dark and long, you know who you are. With that the narrow wizard waggled his bushy eyebrows and disappeared in a flash of blue flame leaving behind only a faint smell of cinnamon +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Les Anomalies
by LNino＠levi.com 31 Mar '00

Hi: My name is Juno, that's a pseudnym, although I haven't really decided. Why must one have a pseudonym when one writes? because "shyness is nice, but shyness can stop you, from doing all the things in life you'd like to".. I'm a writer, a real one (which doesn't mean I'm any good) only that a lot of people call themselves writers and they don't really do that.. they write the ocasional piece, poem or story on a cool notebook and adopt this intellectual pose and enter the coffee shops to feel interesting.. I say I'm a real writer because that's what I do all the time, yes I do have the cool notebooks too.. hundreds of them, diaries and computer files with my, what I call 30 second poems.. I don't judge my stuff, I can't publish, even though I've been asked to.. I hardly ever show anything around.. I have an annonymous page somewhere in the web universe, probably someone has trampled over it.. and been nice about it. Anyway. This is my first post to the list, I get the digest and sometimes I can't give myself the luxury to read the whole thing because I get it at work.. I scan it for some B&S content, but It's nice to find people that are like me.. I work in a corporate monster...(oh yes, boo to the business world) I have my cubicle all plastered with cute phrases and pictures, mexican handcrafts.. and i fight with all i've got the hideous musical environment here.. Lately I listen to Autour de lucie (cause i'm studying french..so sing alongs help) Hood, Cat power, and went back to morrissey for a bit... This story is repetitive.. but I live in mexico.. and it's IMPOSSIBLE to find a single soul who knows of, likes or even conceives a band called Belle & Sebastian.. what the hell am I doing here? who knows..but the thing is I got Tigermilk thanks to Chris (Boo to the business world), The boy with the arab strap on a quick trip to L.A. and the rest on a crappy tape.. Do any of you have rare stuff like MP3's or something we can share? not only B&S but the Gentle waves, looper and all those wonderful bands that are on Jeepster? Anyone knows where I could find some sound files? for my personal use only.. since I'm alone in this country.. literally. Ok. It's nice to read the digest, there's so much to talk about.. there's so much to be done while our head's are still young.. bye. Juno. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

i thought this might cheer people up a bit. i lost my virginity (to a man!!!) while watching debbie does dallas (1 and 2), so that i could learn how to give a blow job. is it any wonder i'm gay? *s* um, and i bought my brother a magnetic "dress-me lenin" for his birthday, and the makers were called bear, bear and bear ltd, which i thought was strange. and i just got a fringe cut so i feel like a proper b&s fan now. pip pip, FB X *********************************** chickclick.com http://www.chickclick.com girl sites that don't fake it. http://www.chickmail.com sign up for your free email. http://www.chickshops.com boutique shopping from chickclick.com *********************************** +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
