Sinister: the trials of being 16 and 7 months old.....
by amy_jackson0 28 Mar '00

28 Mar '00

tuesday evening, 28/03/2000 you will all be glad to know that this post is much happier than my last one, i am no longer as depressed by my b&s boy (well, maybe just a wee bit....) or my friends' ineptitude, because of the lovely messages that were sent to me as a result.....you all know who you are so THANKYOU!!!!! /me passes out lots of sweets and hugs to everyone...... well, today i went to school, after listening to "helicon 1" by mogwai four times in a row (at half seven in the morning, it's the only thing that can waken me up) and the "boy done wrong again" by you-know-who lots of times as well, to get me in the mood for my lonely day in a school of just 200 people, (200 troubled teenagers is an understatement) most of whom i've known since i was a wee baby...arrived in school, getting death stares from various ex-friends and for a moment i felt like the girl in "expectations", y'know, everyone spreads untrue rumours etc and is generally nasty to her, and i thought, "well, i can rise above it because, erm, i just can!"...so despite having crap lessons all day (try having triple maths, then double french, double modern studies and two hours of brain numbing study time) i decided to ignore them all..it was difficult but eventually i felt a bit better...even managed to talk about b&s boy without bursting into tears, so all is getting better..... as for all this dick slapping business...well, as my gran says "it's the quiet ones you have to watch", so maybe young struan is not the innocent we (or maybe it's just me) perceive him as...i do think that he is picking on judy a bit tho...couldn't chelsea or lisa be dick slaps? maybe they just don't have the same qualities as judy.....come on stuart, the sinister nation need to know!!!! *sheepish smile* well everyone, thankyou for reading this far..hello to BabyChris Crystalballs btw, haven't heard from you for aaaaaaaaagggggeeeeeessssssss...... adios, littlebelleXXX *^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^* i reply and politely stare back iDLEWiLD *^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^* +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: heaven was not her scene
by alix campbell 28 Mar '00

28 Mar '00

Hallo I am the biggest fool alive. Today I got up, donned my beautiful exclusively manmade fibres uniform and went to work. Then I realised it was my day off. I came back home again, hitting myself repeatedly round the head with a mallet. Some of this may be a lie. Well, my week may be beginning stupidly, but the weekend was nice. Im not going to go into details, as it will make people jealous, and make Pam and Mikes collective ego even bigger than it already is, but they do make lovely hostesses. Mike included. The Foxgloves are a lovely band, I am not their number one fan, that privilege goes to the Queen Mother of course, who recently in her Best Two Things of my Tediously Long Life list, chose the Foxgloves and her artificial hip. In that order. I also had a long, *invigorating* walk through the Euston area in the middle of the night. A detour? Yeah, right. Its raining now, Im still in my uniform and Im bored. I could eat something. Im so bored I just scanned my feet. Time to go and scan more things, I think. lixi "Is it a bird? Is it a plane?

Hello Sinister. Joanna pleasantly introduced herself with: > On Neptune, the pressure in the atmosphere and on the surface of the > planet are so high that the carbon is formed into diamonds, which are swept > into the air and rain back down. Diamond hailstorms are actually quite common > there...the image they used in Discover magazine was "diamonds raining > through honey," because the atmosphere is so thick and gooey. I find this really fascinating, both the idea of a planet where it rains diamonds and the idea of introducing yourself by telling the second most interesting thing you know. Do you make it the second so that you can prove later on that you know something even more interesting? I don't even know what the second most interesting thing i know is. I'll have to think about that. I must say though, the image of diamonds falling through Honey is a little bit disturbing. By the way, my name is Jessica and i just resubscribed here today after being away for something like a year now. Most of you won't remember me, but i missed you. Love, Jessica. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Olé: For North Americans
by Scott Plagenhoef 28 Mar '00

28 Mar '00

>From Matador records: "The new BELLE & SEBASTIAN album, 'Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like A Peasant' (OLE 429-1,2) is coming out on Matador in North America on the 6th of June. "The band will be visiting the West Coast for the first time in early June, with additional North American dates planned for the autumn. There will be a pre-album single in June consisting of 'Legal Man' backed with 'Judy Is A Dick Slap' and 'Winter Wooskie.'" So, it is the highly tentative, skeletal tour schedule that is of most interest. Not sure on which formats Matador is releasing the single, although the lack of catalog #'s may mean that they haven't even hammered out exact details yet themselves. bye. scott. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: getting to knowwww you...
by Coldcolours＠aol.com 28 Mar '00

28 Mar '00

good morning, sweet sinisters! As I sat here, drinking that first cup of coffee (which only tastes like washing up if I worry that it will) and quietly despising my cat, I decided I would say hello for the first time. I've been unreasonably nervous about it, as if I were orating to a stadium full of restless Belle and Sebastian fans, but that's silly. You all seem like wonderful and supportive people. So hello! My name is Joanna. Pleased to meet you. A lovely boy once told me, "if you want to make friends with someone, tell them the second most interesting thing you know." So here is the 2nd most interesting thing I know today: On Neptune, the pressure in the atmosphere and on the surface of the planet are so high that the carbon is formed into diamonds, which are swept into the air and rain back down. Diamond hailstorms are actually quite common there...the image they used in Discover magazine was "diamonds raining through honey," because the atmosphere is so thick and gooey. I'll have to make a stopover there the next time I'm hitchiking through the galaxy :). I'm so glad I found this list...I was desperate enough to meet B+S fans that I had begun to whistle BWTAS and JAHDOH loudly in public places, hoping that someone would recognize them and introduce themselves. The list method is more fun and much less obnoxious. I first fell in love with B+S when I read the story on the inside cover of Tigermilk. It was as if their happiness at finding each other was somehow my own, and even if their music had been terrible (which it is certainly not!) I would have loved them just for telling me their story. Speaking of stories, Robert Smith (that can't be your real name) wrote: >>I hope you liked [my story] and didn't think it too self induldgent. Not self indulgent at all! It was wonderful, I'm looking forward to the next one. That's about all I have to say this time, I don't want to tyrannize your attention span any longer. Thank you for listening! np: "sometimes" by Spacemen 3 Till next time, Joanna PS. What's up with the tape tree? Haven't heard anything from you yet.

Sinister: Re: black fox fable
by julesmarkham 28 Mar '00

28 Mar '00

hi there sinister folk, I thought I'd send you another little fable of mine, I hope you like it. It's about...hope, and how the black fox deals with fear. The Black fox hung down her head. The void inside her chest where her heart once rested ached. She glared up at the sky, as if she could frighten it away. She shook her head furiously and growled at herself. She dug her claws into the ground, ripping gouges into the earth until finally, her anger abated, she flung herself to the ground. ~Am I asking too much to be treated with a little kindness? she whispered to herself, to the silence around her. ~Is there one single creature alive that would never deceive me or abandon me or cause me harm? A single, solitary individual I can trust without doubt? She lay in silence for a long time, thinking of nothing. Finally she got to her feet and started walking. She walked to the city limits and on into the country. She walked with no direction or destination, she just walked. She felt nothing, hunger and exhaustion were of no importance to her. She walked to the sunset and did not stop. She walked through the night, past towns and rivers. She walked through the next day, and the night that followed it. She never stopped, never slept, never ate, just walked. The air changed from city smog to salty spray and she did not notice, the ground beneath her feet changed from tarmac to grassy dunes and she did not notice. She stopped when the grass and sand became a rough pebbled beach, and stared out to sea. The wind was cold, the sky clouded. The fox closed her eyes and she could see herself walking into the sea along the sea bed, clambering over submerged rocks and valleys, the desire to walk stronger than gravity, than science. She opened her eyes and walked into the sea. The water was freezing, but she did not turn back, but swam on, pulled back and forth by the currents and riptides. The cold seeped into her bones, but she did not stop, but kept moving until she felt stone beneath her feet. She pulled herself out of the surf and onto the sharp rocks.Shivering and exhausted, she lay down. She looked back, in the distance she could see the mainland. The tide was turning, and the waves were dragging back to the shore. She looked down into the water, knowing that the rocks would soon be submerged by the incoming tide. A pointed black face looked back at her. She stared at the reflection. ~What's your name, she whispered shakily to the flickering likeness. The one solitary individual who would never deceive her or abandon her, who she could have absolute trust in. The fox smiled at her reflection, who smiled wearily in return. ~I think I'd forgotten about you, she said softly. The image seemed to wink at her, then disappeared into the foam. The fox nodded to herself as the surf lapped at her feet. She dived into the sea and followed her reflection back to the shore I hope you like it, julesx PS Colin M is a groovy groovy bloke (...for an old fogey!!) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Bloshy great yarblockos to thee and thine
by Rob Foster 28 Mar '00

28 Mar '00

How embarrissing, I just sent this to Honeys computer which sent back a message saying how silly I was, still, it picked me up and gave me a lolly, so I can't complain. Here's what I MEANT to send to you 'orrible lot: I'm sorry to bring this back up again but I have some very interesting information. For the uninitaited, about a month ago we were talking about Mr M shouting at Mr G in LLPJ, but no one could find it - until now. Yes that's right, I think I've found it. Before you rush to your record players and pin back a good ear I think I should tell you what you should be looking for. Imagine someone shouting from a long way away, but their voice is gruff. Now, the words to me sound like 'turn it up Chris', the place in the sone is, wait for it, Five munuets seven seconds. HOLD ON, there is also some shouting at five minuets ten seconds. Right, go forth and listen Oh, to Heatherxo, sorry, I got you mixed up with someone called Jessica who also put 'xoxo's' at the end of her name :) Yours Mr Foster +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: He's a caffeine addict...
by Paul Field 28 Mar '00

28 Mar '00

Hello all. It has been a rather long time since I wrote here. Hmm. I guess I am a little like a recurring nightmare that you think you have finally seen the back of, and then suddenly once again rears it's ugly head. I have been drinking far too much coffee today...it is simply a necessity to prevent bruising to my head, which would otherwise be inevitable as my eyes close and my head falls forward to WHACK on the desk. The problem is...I think I may have over-compensated. I can feel my heart banging violently into my chest from the inside...it feels like I have swallowed Keith Moon and he's banging away in there. And no, I am not sexually aroused...not even by the thought of swallowing Keith Moon... I think I need to exercise...work off some of this excess energy. I think I should probably go for a 78 mile run. Or I could jump out of the window...I suppose that that is always a solution...no, I am not feeling depressed! My feet are ultra-bouncy is all! I could jump out of the window and bounce along the streets...bouncing up to 40ft high, like a human spacehopper. People in their offices would be looking out of their windows purely gob-smacked...I can see the headlines in todays evening standard..."Ginger human space hopper causes panic in the streets of London" ... but who will hang the DJ (dickslap Judy)? By the way, by mentioning Keith Moon do I have to send a picture of my arse to the body parts page? Where's that wide angle lense? Finally, as I eavesdropped on Laura and Velocity whiling away their time over a cup of strawberry tea, I heard this come from Laura's lips... A boy who doesn't like The Pixies really isn't a boy at all, Is he? No Laura. He is a *man*!!! Then, a few days later, in a mood of merriment, our dear Velocity murmured and happiness... it's like chocolate... you like it that much you have to keep it in your mouth and let it melt in there, tasting it blissfully, so the joy of eating it lasts longer... Which could only leave me wondering whether it was actually chocolate she was talking about. What? It could have been shortbread, you filthy minded guttersnipes. On that note I think I should depart... Tatty-bye Paul. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: If you're bored then you're boring
by Mike 28 Mar '00

28 Mar '00

Hullo chickens, I've just read the Spinisterines post and loved it. You know when you read a post that's obviously been painstakingly well thought out? God, that makes me feel slightly envious, because I'm just talking rubbish here. Anything that makes me laugh is worth a bit of jealously though. JenOwl said: >Could everyone please excuse for the fact I have really fat legs, >and a sad jumper. But I have to say that I quite like that jumper. If I didn't have to keep up a reputation as a black clad Velvet Underground listening dark horse (though I'm not actually a horse, you understand) then I might go around wearing sad jumpers. I don't think I can make any comment on legs without getting arrested though, so I won't. Oh yeah, and next time you see a hard kid Jen, box him one for me. Because I daren't. This Is Just A Modern Rock Song was supposed to arrive yesterday. It didn't. I thought maybe it would arrive today. My post has just arrived. It hasn't. I would like to take this opportunity to say that everybody who works at Jungle.com is a silly sausage. And anyone who works at 101cd is nothing short of a complete moke (you might say). If anyone DOES work at 101cd, then I want my Ballboy EP. I ordered it...[checks date]... 28 days ago. Fergodssake. Yesterday I went on #sinister for the first time. Even though I'm a Computing student and so I'm supposed to know all about machine code and HTML and IRC and stuff, I realised yesterday that in fact I know didily squat. Thanks to Vel for holding my hand on my first visit though. I still found it mildly terrifying, but I'll be back soon. I'll have to lie low for a bit when the phone bill arrives. I hope my mum accepts cheques. I started feeling a bit worried about the new album, but then I realised it will be fine. It will be different, I guess. Like The Boy With The Arab Strap is different. Which is good, I suppose. There's only so long you can keep doing the same thing. Blur realised after three albums of writing about London businessmen that people were bored. So although I hope B&S don't do a Blur and become a totally different band, we don't want another Tigermilk. Tigermilk is my favourite, don't get me wrong. But I've got one thanks, I don't need another. So the new album will be fab.

Sinister: Fold your hands child, you play late night poker like a peasant
by Kenneth P Y Chu 28 Mar '00

28 Mar '00

hello, Just come back to my home in Milton Keynes from University and my parents are away for holiday which means I've the whole house to myself, which is quite cool as I can sing "She's losing it" ultra loud without them thinking that I'm losing it. Read vel's e-mail earlier unfortunately weather isn't so good here at MK.. it was quite funny earlier I was driving and hailstorm just started as the car stereo decided to play "Summertime" by the Sundays... the car stereo loves doing that, I got pulled over by police last time just as "Killer Cars" by Radiohead was on. About good music and that.. I don't really know, I think I hold a more diplomatic view that good music must be able to show that a lot of effort and talent has been put into it, but it is not a crime to listen to bad music that makes you happy... I think the collection of beeping noises aka dance music is terrible but then I still hum along to it when I'm bored. Heck I like bad music but so what I also listen to Belle and Sebastian who are wicked and they make me happy and sad and mad and keep me sane. One of my friends is really uptight about all these things, he would hate a "townie" to guts even if that guy hasn't done anything wrong.. but I actually quite admire townies in a way that they can go to a really bad nightclub and has a good time, which surely shows great tolerance... but I don't like those who thinks that they have to wear Ben Sherman shirts to stay alive. But I hate some of the metal geezers who take the piss out of that, whilst wearing their full leather gear at midsummer 35 degrees C.. oh the ironies of live.
