Reall cool stuuf has happened. 1) - I might (MIGHT) be playing at king tuts. a band I was in are playing there soon, and they need an extra member to play live, to do keyboards and an extra guitar part for some songs. So as I haven't played the keyboard 4 a while, they want to see how I am at it. If I'm any good, I'll be playing. yay. KICKASS. TO NON SCOTS, KING TUTS is a venue in glasgow where oasis where signed by alan mcgee. GEE. H!O!T! thgings. I burnt by cinamon (narrow wizzard)grahams in chemistry earlier. then I tried to dissolve them in acid, but it just didn't work. ah fec. instead, I got an acid burn in my left forearm. 'twas sore. the auction is still on, people. thanx 4 your generous bids so far. it finishes on saturday. If anyone has lost the urls, just mail me 4 them. cheerio, and may god protect YOUR homes. chris __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: panic on the streets on Manchester*
by Paul Arathoon 15 Mar '00

15 Mar '00

Is it me or do all bouncers have a pre-disposed tendency for violence and irrationality?(the 2 being an unfortunate combination)Last night my housemate was thrown out of a shitty student dive called Robinskis and the bouncers were basically trying to have a fight with him and the manager hit him in the face so it was nicely swollen this morning. Grrr I am quite angry about it becuase it started with a mere misunderstanding when a barman threw his pint away for some obscure reason and 5 mins later there was fighting in the streets. having said that I did hear about a fight between 2 students that happened becuase one dared to say the other didn't have enough knowledge about pie makers' marques and then said the other had a shit hat.So violence can be funny Spurious B&S content: 4 people asked me why my badge was upside down last night. the same 4 had the same look of confusion on their faces when I turned it around. Back to work Paul p.s. I loathe to use this title because i HATE the Smiths but it seems appropriate. The reason i hate the smiths is becuase a)morrisseys "singing" and b)most of their songs aren't bluddy grate or even near it ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email 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: one more

i forgot one thing, (my, but today was so b+s-filled) at the show tonight, i had time for one more song at the end of my set, so i played "is it wicked not to care", it went well, though my voice not nearly that cute, and it was just me on an acoustic instead of the whole band. oh well, i hope it didn't adulterate it. that's all. i thought i ought to mention it. finally i am out, sleep tight sam ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email 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: skippy cd's die die die!!!
by brand new shoes 15 Mar '00

15 Mar '00

grrrrr! okay a short bit of b+s trouble: i was puttering along in my little red ford escort wagon today, listening to Tigermilk on my hacked together disc-man/car cd player, and right in the middle of "expectations" it started skipping!!! this was unacceptable, so of course i had to skip to "she's losing it" and that was skippy too!! the rest of the cd was just as bad, all of the songs except for TSTIAI were completely ruined!!!! Of course the only logical thing to do was run and buy it again. which leads me to a strange b+s mishap... at Randy's Alternative Music, a soon to be out of business cd shop on the south side of Pittsburgh, i found Tigermilk in the used bin. What the hell is that!?? Someone actually sold it? It was lucky for me, but just think of the poor sap who sold it... I picture them one of two ways: 1.) they are a complete fool. end of story. 2.) they were 3$ short money for a operation on their kitten, who was deathly ill, and, having sold everything else, including the very clothes on their back, this poor desperate soul crawled (you see he crawls because he is so week from not buying food for so long, to save money for the kitten), butt naked, into Randy's Alternative Music, holding in his hand his last earthly possession, his Tigermilk cd. Crying like a mother forced to part with her baby, the man shamefully took the 3$ and dragged himself to the vet.There, with the money from that cd, the vet agreed to save the kitten, who is now sitting with his owner, in a completely barren apartment, thinking "without Tigermilk, he might as well have let me die" this would redeem the seller. however, i must thank them because now i have a skip free cd to carry me into the beginning of spring. that's all for now. I'm off to sleep for now. sweet dreams everyone, love sam ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email 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: Dancing in my kitchen.
by molly dahl 15 Mar '00

Hello All! I must say that I have been released from the nursery, and oh how exciting it is. I tried to send a message last night while I was procrastinating (my favorite pastime), but my computer was giving me beef. So it goes. I'm a university student in Buffalo, New York. Exciting tidbit of the day: I most likely will be going to see the Cure in Toronto on June 12th! In reference to idle berry and Sam mentioning parents liking B&S, I must say that the other night, I was singing and dancing along to "Get Me Away From Here I'm Dying" while washing dishes, and my father popped in the kitchen and sad, "Molly, I really do like this band." It made me happy. I do have a question, however: Me, being the silly American girl, doesn't know how much a dollar would transalte in to an English pound. I'd like to purchase some B&S badges, yet I'm unaware of how much it is in American $. If anyone could shed some light on this, I'd be most appreciative. Alas, I must cease my procrastination and continue studying for my Spanish test.

Sinister: More theology vicar?
by Nick.Dastoor＠guardian.co.uk 14 Mar '00

14 Mar '00

> 3.55 - Niki Dee - Didn't finish Hmm.. why doesn't this surprise me? Robin Stout wondered: > By the way, does anyone >know what book Lazy Line Painter Jane has, on her e.p.? It looks >like a textbook or something. Eagle Eye Kerry helpfully replied: >well, i'd never bothered to look before, but it appears to be >something like "reason and reality" by john polkinghorne. if i had >the 12" it would probably be easier to see. Well here's a library catalogue record for it I got from the wonderful www.copac.ac.uk: Author(s): Polkinghorne, J. C. (John Charlton), 1930- Title Details: Reason and reality : the relationship between science and theology / John Polkinghorne Publisher: SPCK, 1991 Physical Desc.: [144]p, pbk ISBN/ISSN: 0281044872 Subject(s): Religion related to, science Religion and science - 1946- Language: English Well done kerry. I have no idea how you managed to make this out without the 12" or incredible image enhancement software like they have in police dramas. Are you magic? Sounds like a cracking read, anyway. I can just picture Stuart discussing its ramifications with the vicar over tea and chocolate fingers. I've still no idea what the book on the front of the boxed set, sorry *slipcase* is. But the cover looks like it's a maddeningly familiar imprint. Has anyone else noticed how since Honey's been away, there have been no posts from Peter Miller? The rumour rumbles on. In common with all right-minded folk, I'm greatly looking forward to Alasdair's next five best things of 2000. My friends and I tried to come up with 2000 predictions for the year 2000, but we stalled on about no.684. I'll have to cross reference my list with Ally's to see how we're doing. nick xx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Riches to the masses
by Andrew Tracey 14 Mar '00

14 Mar '00

Well, well, well. Props to the boy Carsmile for: a) Remembering my Cheltenham/B+S thing from last year (New people can read all about it in the archives from the middle of last March) and b) Anticipating my laziness in not doing the same thing this year. And what did Carsmile pick out... 3.15 - Katarino - Finished 7th, but was leading for a while until Istabraq surged past her. 3.55 - Niki Dee - Didn't finish Star Traveller - 3rd 4.30 - Honey Mount - **1st** Went clear coming up to the last fence then did a 'stunning leap' (according to the Sporting Life) and romped home. It's price was 8/1 but those of you clever enough to get on as soon as you read Steve's post could have got the 10/1. Assuming a tenner on each horse: Staked £40 Won £110 Profit £70 Spend it wisely children. Seeing as Carsmile is away for a couple of days, I've had a root through to find you tomorrow's beer money. 2.00 - Solo Mio - Stuart D wanders off to play with himself. 2.35 - Celibate - So many of you moan about having no boy/girlfriend, you must be this. 3.15 - Magic Combination - One band, one list, 1200-odd people. 3.55 - Soldat - Has BabyChris been able to say this of his auction stuff yet? 4.30 - Mister One - Maybe another (less obvious) reference to Honey will bring us more luck. 5.05 - Upgrade - As indeed Honey had to when we all moved to our new home. 5.40 - Joe Cullen - Not Booze Explosion's old man, surely? I'll meet you all in your dad's potting shed where we can enjoy our illicit bounty of absinthe and Jaffa cakes, purchased with our winnings.

Sinister: did you pass me just to slow down?
by ipecac spice 14 Mar '00

14 Mar '00

hi everyone. i'm still stuck in the land of superchunk. there seems to be a bit of a drought lately. so, i thought i would write a little post. i've been looking for the box set, but canada seems to be deprived of it. maybe i'll just have to get around to buying all the singles separately. i asked at a couple of record stores about the box set and the poor people didn't even know of belle & sebastian, let alone the box set. saturday night was the birthday party at my university bar. CHEAP drinks! it's the event i've been looking fwd to for ages. but luck me came down with the stomach flu that very afternoon. i insisted on going, but i only managed to stay for just over an hour. i was in a miserable mood. you know when you're sick and everyone keeps asking "are you ok?" and you know they're just trying to show concern but you're so irritable that you just want to snap "LOOK, YOU KNOW I'M FUCKING SICK! DO YOU THINK I FEEL OK?" and then punch them and burst into tears? well that was how i felt, so i went home early to puke and sleep. i was also mocked a great deal by my friends jeff and catherine. jeff thinks he knows everything just b/c he's married! but i was too sick to even put up a fight. see, jeff thinks i only go for mean guys. but this is not true. i don't know why it never occurs to anyone that perhaps i am actually a mean girl. i kind of am in relationships actually. i try not to be, but i have high expectations. i just want a guy i can be proud of. usually i am embarassed of them. is there any solution to this problem? how can i stop being embarrassed of my b/fs? how can i get an unembarrassing guy to like me? i don't even really want a b/f right now, but when i do want one i want to be friends with them first. that way i really can go in with my eyes wide open and not be blinded by the love and sex right at the start. that means i need to befriend a guy and then...this seems like a long process. anyway. if you read this far you are a wonderful and considerate person and i truly appreciate it. -di he who hates is to be pitied, but he who loves is to be pitied more -german proverb +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
