Hey Linus And yes, most of all New Yorkers are that crazy, and they don't just come out at night. But, oh well, I'm not that crazy and I live in New York now. The soundtrack was pretty GRATE though.

Sinister: "It's OK to grow up, as long as you don't grow old" - Pulp
by Mike 15 Apr '00

Hullo chickens, My good friend Juliya Nikolaeff said: >It's part of growing up, Mike - get used to it. I'm not actually afraid of growing up, I'm just marvelling at the massive step between living in a house with my brother and parents and living in a house on my own. >Not to mention nobody knows nothing about >anything to do with music. As a matter of principle I cannot and will not take advise from someone who uses a double negative. Sorry. Oh, and I am, in fact, *not* a "big and strong & tough" guy. I am... well skeletal would be generous. And maybe I'd be quite happy to remain a sulky teenager forever. Oh, and seeing as I'm a sulky teenager you should know that any advice you give me will sound patronising and unreasonable. [Please note the writings above should be read in a jokey voice and not taken at all seriously. I'm just being silly] Love, Mike smiley(a)rebelmonkey.freeserve.co.uk http://www.rebelmonkey.freeserve.co.uk +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: What the hell is that thing on my butt?
by Pelican303＠aol.com 15 Apr '00

15 Apr '00

Dearest Sinister, Well, Its been ages since I posted and I'm sure you all missed me very very little. I just had to come on and whine. I had an infected cyst removed from my ass yesterday. Whoever's keeping track of body part references, I'm quite sure you do NOT want a picture of this. Speaking of which, aren't we owed a picture of Stuie's ginger tufts? I waiting with bated breath (whatever that means). I was wondering, hypothetically speaking of course (ummm), what you all would do if you had an advance copy of the new album available to you. I know alot of people like to wait...I mean, there is definatly something to be said for anticipation and the satisfaction of reaching the end of a long wait. Just curious. All you Torontoians, I just wanna warn you that JC is one bad ass mofo. You better be nice to him or he'll drag you around the streets of Coral Gables exposing you to culture (eeeep!). Later taters.

Sinister: Hairnets and Dog Food...what's an elephant?
by Nik Ovenden 15 Apr '00

15 Apr '00

It's like a big upside-down squirrel! Well, i've now recovered enough to say the All tomorrow's was quite satisfactory. My lungs still cry out for dope though...and hack up stuff I didn't exactly get value for money (i spent �265 altogether...), but i got to see Alfie, who are greet. I missed snow patrol though...damn Kubrick. Crush votes are certainly the order of the day at present- one is flattering, but two?! I'm not big on ego boosts... If the ladies in 174 who made that pancakes are on the list, then thanks a lot for the pancakes, they were gorgeous. 'Legal man' reminds me of a cross between Sha-na-na and Country joe at woodstock...this is disturbing... Heavenly nods to one and all, Niko xxx 'What you want is for their queue to slow down and yours to speed up. Then you can run past them and say "YES!!! I will eat toast before you!"' -Eddie Izzard, 'Definite Article' PS Laura, if you had the patience to read all the way to this, remember that 'marriage is punishment for shoplifting' (Wayne's World), so don't get hurried into it! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: cheers
by Alexander Bartilson 15 Apr '00

15 Apr '00

Hi, I went out yesterday, to a club in the city. It's a synthclub where they play, you know synth music. I really like synth music, well some synth music. I like instrumental synth music like Kraftwerk, Jean Michel Jarre and Tangerine Dream. I also like regular electronic music like Underworld, Orbital, Orb etc. I didn't hear much of either yesterday. They just played a lot of dark, heavy synth-rock (very often with German lyrics odd enough). Didn't like it too much. Also the mood was kind of dark, not very positivism you might want when going out on a Friday night. Not to mention the clothes :-) Anyway, I went there with some of my friends and the problem was this: I don't drink. Please don't think that I'm a dull, extremely tidy person with no sense of fun. I'm not, at least I definitely hope not. I'm just of that opinion that you must be able to have fun without drinking alcohol. I think that if I'm drunk I'm not me, so I think that I have to get drunk to have fun I don't have much self respect. I don't want to be such a person. I don't judge any person who drink, so please don't write angry replies to this. I just wanted to tell you my opinion. Don't really know the meaning of writing the above, maybe just that I find you guys (a impression that I've got anyway) to be intellectual and nice so that you might understand me... Am I a sad person? :-( Anyway, it doesn't seem to be a very easy mission if you want to go out to a club and listen to Belle & Sebastian kind of music. At least not where I live. That's a bit strange, I think B&S's music is dancable. BTW, know where to get a preview listening to "legal man"?? Have a nice day. ///Alexander +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: some sic graffiti that read 'go homo, foreign cum'
by alix campbell 15 Apr '00

15 Apr '00

Mm, Saturday. I woke up early, thinking Its my day off, what a fantastic piece of luck, I can watch SMTV Live. However, after polishing off the pitiful crumbs in the biscuit tin, I fell asleep until noon. Silly me. Youn said: >When I read Alix Campbell's posts I think of Morvern Callar Im not sure if this is good or bad as Im a uneddercated sort that hasnt bothered to read anything vaguely topical since 1987. Someone mail me privately about it. I, of course shall be attending the picnic on the 20th of May, but only because my flatmates think I have lots of friends and I have to make it look like I have a social life. Mind you, telling them Im going up a hill may not convince them. It is also the day before I leave teenage life FOREVER. I can still remember my tenth birthday and theres no way that ten years have passed already. I demand a recount. Velcro shoes have come back and are leaving again, arent they? They must be if I have a pair, which I do. I ate baked beans for months because I spent too much on them. Not because I really really desperately wanted the shoes, just because Im not good at planning ahead. I never did like shoelaces though, and Ill still be wearing the Acupunctures well after everyone has thrown them onto the pyre of last season. I was reading the digest just now, and I read my last post, and I dont remember writing most of it. I have a terrible memory. It was like reading something from years ago. The human mind is an Absolute Crazy thing. I had odd dreams last night, involving Buffy TVS (it was Sarah Michelle Gellars B/day on Friday. She was 23. The chap who plays Xander is actually 29. How madcap is that?) and a secret society stretching many years into the past and future. I am glad that I am not too familiar with my unconscious. I cant think of anything else to say now. Dont you hate it when youre supposed to be angry with someone, then they ring up and you forget and youre nice to them?

Sinister: You can lead a horticulture but you can't make her think
by Laura Llew 15 Apr '00

15 Apr '00

Another one bites the dust Yes, my youngest brother has now nupped the nuptials. Im just hoping that his wife will start popping out the kiddies like an easy bake oven so that my parents will be so neck high in grandchildren that theyll forget all about me being single. Right now, I cant go anywhere without my mom stating her hopes that Ill meet someone there. Its highly disconcerting to see her grow so enthusiastic when I get sick & have to go to a doctor. Unfortunately, I didnt get to go to my brothers wedding or on my planned road trip. No, I had to stay here and work. At least I'll be able to attend the reception here. I get to be the punch girl. Of course, I was disappointed to hear that I would be serving it instead of throwing them (punches that is). Oh well. I just can't wait till May when all the wedding silliness is over. You just don't know how disturbing it is to have random people say to you "Your brother must be the one I saw in the newspaper who just got married. You look just like him." And I have no clue who these people are. Aren't they suppose to be concentrated on the couple so I can slip into the background? I had hoped that since I was here I would at least get to go to some of the shows here but Noooo. I had to work during those too. Dont worry, Im not going to whine. No sir, Im going to take it like a real girl ... and pout. I hope my face doesnt freeze this way though because the tinsel might make my tongue tingle when the school children decide to decorate my bottom lip for Christmas. I want to thank everyone who gave their summations of the ATP events. Now, I realize it is OK if I miss out on all of these shows and picnics because I can gleam all of the good parts from other peoples posts (OPP. Yeah you know me). Oh, I noticed how yall were trying to tantalize us all with de-tales of Stuarts brawny bruteness as he strutted around shirtless. But really I cant be shocked anymore. Well, unless an electrical outlet and paperclips are involved. Anyway, the Cliff Notes of the ATP read very nicely and included all of the important aspects... We had the 1. Setting: Someplace where I was not. 2. Plot: From what I could tell there did not seem to be one. MMM, sounds like the makings of a movie blockbuster to me. 3. The Main Characters: The Protagonist: Stu M who was the tall, dark, and handsome football hero. (Well, relatively - hes taller than a pygamy but not as dark as one. I dont think he was so much a hero as he was just shirtless.) Then there was Trousers who doesnt really remember the weekend except for harassing members of numerous bands to pose in llewd ways with the most recent edition of Papercuts. Evidently, you can get on the cover for certain sexual favors.. hehe. Stevie prefers Anita Loos. Gentleman prefer blondes. And I prefer Trompe Le Monde. What that means - I do not know. Miss Scarlett who sat with her sunglasses on her head critiquing members of various bands fashion sense. With a recent investment of a cattle prod, she was able to escape the whole weekend without being mobbed by her groupees. Of course, David Moore was clad in fatigues and spent most of the time feeling empathy toward Stuart David by being Up A Tree yelling Swarm! Swarm! whenever he spotted Stu M selling merchandise. There were Mike, Stuart Shennanigan, Allastares, PF, and other shady characters who were milling about. They just seemed like the mindless happy masses. However, they were mentally taking notes on everything so they could warp into some witty antidote to use in their posts to Sinister. And then there was Lucy Alder. Ok she wasnt actually there but winning prizes for erotic dancing on a train. She will lead you to believe that she decided to go to Italy on vacation. However, I can safely say without any hints of libel, exaggeration, or jest that she was turned away for being neck up to her bliss to the "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." Ignorance of Dr. Seuss will get you no where.. except for Italy. What did Italy ever produce...besides Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance? D. We also had Villains: NME, Sonic Youth (whose sound apparently didnt have the refined quality of that of a Sonic Boom), and some other bands of questionable quality. 5. Ironic Situations: Well, this depends on whether youre using Websters or Atlantis Morrisettes definition. How anyone could classify any of those situations as anything but just plain bad luck is beyond me. Of course, you never can tell what kids will buy these days, especially with that one hand in their pocket doing who knows what. 6. And an Important question: Doth Stu M bleed when he ith pricked? Was Answered: Yeth And on twat note I wilt leave. love & bruised elbows, Laura 'meeting all your Laura Llew needs since 1977' PS-- By the way, I just wanted to say that it is a picture of Dorothy Parker under my name on the picture page. I wanted it to be nice and subtle with just the Parker quote as a hint. Of course, I wouldnt know subtlety if it did a strip tease, rolled around in red paint, and then kicked in a chorus line fashion while singing Subtlety is here again in a Tiny Tim falsetto. If you want a picture of me you'll have to ask Eran. Not that he is privy to any of me but I have a feeling that if anyone could make it sound as if there were Laura Llew fantasy pinups floating around that Eran is the one who could make a signed "Love LL" glossy all the rage. PPS- Thanks out to Richard Pushong who made me believe that there *is* a Santa Claus. (And he likes the pixies!!! & chocolate) *****Laura Llews List Member of The Week***** This is for the clever listerine who sports my favorite web page. I especially like their on-line diary which is definitely the most interesting one that Ive ever read. The entries are short, funny, and quite poetic. This person is & their website is none other than Ted Whalen at http://introvert.net/tew/ (March 13 & 14th are 2 of my favorite entries) ______________________________________________________ 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: toronto sinister checkup
by Genevieve Wesley 15 Apr '00

15 Apr '00

Hello Sinister people and my fellow canadians, Suddenly,I am leaving for Toronto tomorrow for the weekend-plus-monday.It's kind of strange...I'm going to a Hair Show.Not the naked hippy dancing kind,but the other kind.Vidal Sassoon will be there.I wonder if he'll like my turqoise hair.I want to see sinisterines,but I don't think anyone knows me.I don't where to go.The Hair Show won't last all day. Last time I was in Toronto was on a school trip to see Rent and sweet Elisa was there..but I was too shy to see her...and now...she's gone to faraway manchester and I hopelessly wandered the streets late at night,and was surprised by lack of acitivity.I went to McDonalds,and that was that.I think a Jessica offered to make me brownies..but shes gone too. And now..no school trip...only that delicious sense of freedom. responding to previous digests: -Struan wears short-shorts and has deliciously taut abs,as I have gathered from the #1 experience of ATP.Would we have expected anything else from that boy?! I knew he loved short-shorts! (Actually,hot pants are really in this season.Its either hot pants or capri pants.Fluffy Sarah,from a long ago discussion of capri-pedal pushin-clam digging pants has scared me right off them,and Struan would look absolutely ridiculous in capri pants.) I shiver with delight! Cameras you drunken fools,cameras. Umm..thats it..sorry! xxx genevieve ______________________________________________________ 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: another first impression
by Luther van der Gaard 15 Apr '00

15 Apr '00

okay, i realize that sending a second message is probably not a good idea, because we all know that its barely possible to sift through the normal traffic. but unbelievably, ive been granted a reprieve by a poor woman having obvious difficulty printing out her tax forms. her misfortunes have thankfully distracted the mean library wench who would otherwise be telling me to get lost. ahem. maybe this is par for the course around here, but i have terrible difficulty introducing myself to strangers, no matter how badly i want to meet them. its impossible to know what secrets of the universe i could possibly impart within my posts that might make them worth reading to people ive never met. but here's to those who give everything the old college try. and cheers to those who've actually heard "legal man". how are the B-sides? im starved for more B & S. though i do find the recent discussions on stalking the members to be a bit disconcerting. i dont think these people need stalkers.. i think they love wandering about relatively unnoticed. i last saw them on their euro '98 tour. even the most devoted fans seemed to be keeping a respectful distance. well ive said more than enough for today. thanks for reading luv, -rye.

Sinister: oy. (newcomer)
by Luther van der Gaard 15 Apr '00

from the nursery emerged... well, another one to add to the list of millions. i'm happy to be here. really. sure there are a few listers not quite as clever as they think they are, but we're united at least by our love of belle & sebastian. ugh. never a good idea to start off by insulting people. i'll formally introduce myself later, i suppose. the library is closing and they're kicking me out :( imagine, closing at 6 on a weekday. it's an absolute travesty. miss jackson, i was stunned at the outpouring of emotion from your direction. did you ever stop to think that whoever is, er, crushing you may be a complete stranger? anyway whoever he/she is, i hope theyre ready to deal with your, er, enthusiasm. and, with an obvious lack of enlightening things to pass on to the lads and lassies of sinister, i should probably crawl back into my whole. i hear carrots and hummus calling.
