Sinister: Good Happy Monday Morning.. bleh
by Christopher Lanier 03 Apr '00

03 Apr '00

Dear Friends... I had a dream that I would like to share with you. Maybe you'll find it cute. I dreamt last night that I had won the Kentucky State lottery. I then bought a really neato house on the coast (any coast pick one) . This house had wooden floors of maple and was just the coziest place I've ever seen. Anyway I bought everyone plane tickets and sent them out anonymously and brought you all to my house for a big party. It was so nice. This would have been better written if it wernt 5am in the morning after a sleepless night. P.S. are there are violinists/cellists out there that would like to marry me? just asking. I have to clean my room now. bye bye ;) love, topher the popest. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: glastonbury/introduction/possible list abuse
by Grrrtrude＠aol.com 03 Apr '00

03 Apr '00

hello, sinister people. i'm stepping out of my shy, lurker mode to attempt a proper introduction in hopes of finding nice people to hang around with this summer. i'll be wandering around europe for part of june and july before starting school in england mid-july and over to amsterdam for more school beginning of august. i would love to meet any sinister people as i've found all of your posts to be quite pleasant, particularly one of a certain english boy who has my list crush vote. :) about me - well, uhm, i'm happy, mischievous, friendly and an overall reasonable person. i'm 24, orginally from tx, went to college in dc, and now go to law school in ny (it's usually as awful as it sounds). i find myself interested in too many things to mention so i'll spare all of you who aren't remotely interested in this post. for anyone who thinks they might want to be friendly to me on my trip e-mail me privately and we'll chat and you can decide if you actually want to be friendly to me. i'm starting my trip with the glastonbury festival and would be thrilled to avoid using my tent by myself. thanks everyone and apologies if this qualifies as list abuse. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: always depend on the strangeness of kind friends
by Helen 03 Apr '00

03 Apr '00

Hello all, After not having posted for quite some time I figured that i might make a brief reappearance. I saw the Lucksmiths the other night in perth and was mightily impressed. I knew that it would be good as soon as i saw the study in stow shirt on the guitar player. And I have it on good authority that at the show the night after, the bass player was also wearing a b&s shirt. Hijinks abounded, although most of them on the second gig that they played apparently, (which i of course could not attend:( ) and though it was hard to pass up a Lucksmiths frisbee, i ended up in a half share in a c.d., (and although the other partner in this purchase is soon to buy me out, i think i'll forgive him, this time at least ;)). Ahh the perils of unemployment and therefore lack of money. in the past two weeks i have left my school, and left my job. everyone keeps on reassuring me that i WILL get a job, but there is only so much rejection that a girl can take. 'if they'd only give me a chance' i think. At least i'm managing to kind of avoid looking like a slob, my standards of personal hygiene are as high as they ever were. oh and i was mightily disappointed with the prospect of 'judy is a dick slap' being an instrumental. I was hoping for all kinds of words to come out of stuarts mouth that would shock and embarrass the neighbours when i played it really loud out my window.... bye for now helen (subject line courtesy of the Lucksmiths) ______________________________________________________ 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: here I go again... an idea came to me you see....
by idle berry 03 Apr '00

03 Apr '00

Finally! A return to the mothership (Scotland)! A recharge of the batteries! (Well, my mobile won't work without it!) And Three nasty essays due in after this little break. So, here I am, back in Scotland, Lazying about, and considering getting my hair cut, as its luvly punky thing has grown out a bit, and resembles a mullet, and thats not good. I had a dream the other night, that I was in a little newsagents, and they sold B+S stickers and sticker albums. Now, when I woke up, it seemed like a shame that you can't already buy this sort of thing, with pictures of Stu M and co. in sticker form. I mean it in a twee and slightly ironic move against the usual "pokemon" and Spice girl sticker albums that you can get. So, does anyone else agree that B+S should be turned into Stickers? It'd be great, if you ask me, swapping stickers with your belle and sebastian friends, and then when you get one they don't have waggling it (the sticker!) in their face and going "neeeh!". And now most of us are at an age where we don't need to ask our mum to lend us 10p or whatever it costs these days to buy a packet. We could go out there, and buy away! without having to ask for adult permission first! I could think of no better way to waste my student loan! God, why do I have such cool dreams where cool things happen? Dreams are very cool, if you ask me. You can conjure up the dead and hark back to the days when they were alive. Anyway, enough of my wishful thinking. But does anyone else think a sticker album of B+S would be a good idea? And hey! Looper in pog form! yay!!! Okay, I'm off now. thought I'd share that wee gem with you lot. Bye! Idleberry ===== http://www.geocities.com/idleberry __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: *can you help me?*
by jennpr＠eden.rutgers.edu 03 Apr '00

03 Apr '00

~hello~ well i have not see the movie yet but i hope to do so in the near future. last week i recieved the belle and sebastian shirt that i had ordered from the website. i also ordered the "badges" or "pins", some may say. i am proud to sport such on all my belongings now. i just hate the thought of losing one. the other day i had attended a show in ny and my roommate had purchased a pin from the band that played. it was $1. meanwhile i had bought two, one for my brother. we were taking the path train home and she lost it while we were boarding the overwhelmed train. we had to hop on it real quick. she was so sad. i tried to explain to her that i have lost at least 50 badges/pins in my lifetime and it can truly be a sad experiece but one that you have to get used to if you are to have them. now the purchase may have only costed, $1 but there is so much more to that little thing that adorns your bag/jacket. luckily i had bought the two so i gave her the other one i had. she is still very sad about it. well i am running for president of my class at my college and i need a slogan. i want a real good one and i just cannot think. Can you help me?? It can only be up to 15 characters, including spaces. Also, I am in the class of 2002-that may help. I will give you credit on my mini bio i include if you would like too. I just figure with all the well spoken fellow sinister folks, maybe someone could think of something that will stand out among the others that may run against me. i MUST win.. goodnight, jenn +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Goodbye
by GRAEME JOHN ANDERSON 02 Apr '00

02 Apr '00

It is with sadness (and due to not having enough time in my day to do everything), that I've decided to make the sacrifice and unsubscribe from the list for some time. I've certainly not been the most active of posters in my 6th months here in Sinisterville, but I've read your posts with interests, warmed to those who were fresh out of the nursery and those who have been around for years. I've enjoyed the time spent but sadly 'All good things never last', so farewell and good luck to you all. Enjoy the new album and the concerts/ clubs. I'll still be buying their material as long as I'm enjoying it, so they aren't losing a fan (yet!!) Bye for now Graeme (If anyone wishes to send me a private email - occasionally - about happenings etc, then please feel welcome. Who knows, you may even get a reply!!) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: glitter lasts forever
by sweetie something 02 Apr '00

02 Apr '00

sinister easter hols, YAY! and im in a fine fine mood today euch i just walked out my wee room to put a can in the bin then back in and it *stinks* like sweet and sour pot noodles. ive noticed that people have started doing this; /me is in a fine fine mood and i was gonna go into a big long thang about it but the i thought, no that would just be stupid, coz i realised to put *sweetie is in a fine fine mood would look even sillier but i was half way tho it when i realised i was talking complete and utter bollux- as per usual so anyway last day of school (for easter anyway) i went to this interhouse quiz thing (which was crap, i mean the car country sticker q's "if a car has a sticker on the back with an 'i' in it, where is it from?" [its italy as we soon found out] but we had a whole round of that!!!) and for a considerable amount of the way through the first round, i had a group of trendy bitches behind me giving me abuse. well what they consider to be abuse, but they have small, petty, shallow little minds so it was only things that they themselves would be offended by. they eventually got kicked out of the hall :) then the 6th years had a 'talent' show to fund their prom. i went, but only coz i had nothing else to do. i ended up the back sitting with the sound and light boys and a few other friends. but they did things like s club 7 and the venga boys. although i confess the venga boys one was quite funny. and then some of the boys did hot stuff and stripped off to their boxers on stage. and they were all quite well built and muscly, except 1, the most popular boy in school, and hes a skinny boy, and he has a really big head and no shoulders. dont get me wrong, i like skinny boys, but he just looks stupid. and on saturday i went to jason andreas' house and we watched true romance and listened to music. and i pulled out some of the hair on his fore arm coz it grows in silly directions. it does u know. :) and when we were waiting at the bus stop waiting for my bus we saw a big STU =M= scratched into the bus stop. and thought, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. :) at nite i went to my pals house across the road. there was er...6 of us theres normally 13/14/15 but most couldnt make it. i arrived an hour late and some of the lassies had been drinking and were high and acting more drunk than they could have been which was annoying, but pyjamela who was the worst was just leaving as i arrived anyway. first we played 'who wants to be a millionaire?' which is a bit silly really. and then we watched the end of entrapment which is also a bit silly. the film i mean. and today i was back at work. finally got some money. :) it was a bit boring coz it was so quiet but it could have been worse i guess. and i met the new manager. he can sure talk! its all changed, as it does every year. i ended up picking up all the dead leaves coz i was bored, even tho that was frasers job coz he was sposed to be in the flight area, but hes a lazy sod and wouldnt have done it. but i didnt get it all done coz i didnt start until later. and weve got some new stuff in, theres a mantis,which is really cool coz it watches u and giant grasshoppers and they r like 7" long! theyre huuuuuuge! and at one point i was looking in the stick insect tank and i saw a spiny one, which i had been told we didnt have any of. so i looked for more and found these 2 very odd looking spider sort of things. i didnt know if they were sposed to be there so i took them out and i was gonna keep them but i wanted to know what they are and i dont have anywhere to put them anyway. my boss imports stuff from trinidad so these could be anything. but that got me thinking, and i thought if i ever discover a new species, im gonna name i after sinister. :) and next week, my 2nd week off, im sposed to be going to this study thing at falkirk collage for help with my higher subjects (although if i get offered to work i wont be going) coz im doing so crap. apparantly they make u do physical stuff, i think they reffered to it as 'confidence building' but a lassie who went last year said that they made them put up a tent blind folded! aye right, i hope they dinnae think theyll hae me daein that! coz they can damn well think again! tonight we fly sweetie xox seem-less they are merely a facade any deeper and they do not exist they, so rebellious, so uniform ______________________________________________________ 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: Oh stop moaning you grumpy .............
by David Strange Strange 02 Apr '00

02 Apr '00

Hello you Lovely lot, Wow, what a week got a call last Saturday and it appears that I'll be going to All Timbale's Partings, it should be absouloutly fantabbyocious and absouloutly non mokeish. All the sinister kids should met up or organise a party or something equally cool, maybe even have a sinister football team to show those celebrities how to play, any ideas. I watched some Blackbirds today and they made me wonder why to birds often fly such a short distance sometimes when they could just hop to the same place?, if I was a bird I would fly everywhere and just use my hopping powers to play hopscotch with my birdie pals, maybe that's what they do. Why oh why do music papers label bands the new 'whatever' when there's nothing wrong with the old 'whatever' they've just lost favour in the journalists eye's, the NME and the Melody Pop (whoops I meant Maker) label anyband who sound a little folky and sweet the new B&S well there's nothing wrong with the old B&S thank you music paper's you're just a buch of Dickslaps (I had to get it in somewhere), they always build up new bands and then a few years down the line slag them off, but still like crap bands no names mentioned and always write good things about them even if they've released 5 singles from one album and totally sold out and speak utter crap, we could play a game guess what band I'm talking abot, mail me privately if you care and don't if you er don't. How bad was Gatsby the other day the actors were the worst I'd ever seen so wooden, oh dear it was almost as bad as this post no probably worse. See some of you at Camber and others whenever. oh yeah Brighton Hove Albion F.C for the division 3 playoffs up the seagulls etc. Dave 'without a crush since 1981' _______________________________________________________ Get 100% FREE Internet Access powered by Excite Visit http://freelane.excite.com/freeisp +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: I blame Douglas Coupland
by Mike 02 Apr '00

02 Apr '00

Hello chickens, The other day I was feeling a bit depressed, because I was bored and lonely and all the rest of it. And normally if I'm feeling a bit down I'll play melancholy records. I like to listen to music that reflects my moods, y'know. So I was really mad with myself last night when I drove my friend and my brother to Sheffield because I was feeling happy and I wanted to listen to Supergrass, but my friend detests them and made me choose something else. Afterwards I really hated myself for caving in to what he wanted. Whoa, I've gone right off course there. So I was feeling depressed the other day, and rather than pick out something sad, I put Tigermilk on. This is my point here, ready? Right: Belle & Sebastian records reflect any mood I'm in. It's weird, most music is sad or happy (or middle of road, but that's boring), but B&S sound sad when I'm sad and happy when I'm happy. This obviously makes them fabadocious, which is a word I'll now be campaigning to get in the dictionary. I've just read the new (May) Select, and a little B&S bit reminded me of something I read. I think it was the manager who mentioned the use of a mellotron. This is good, because mellotrons are great, grate and even gr8. The only good thing about the new Oasis album is the heavy use of a mellotron. That's all I have to say about that. Oh, and the new look Select is hideous. It looks like some god awful lad's mag. Right down to the easy to clean (sorry) extra glossy pages. Also the Slipknot video on the CD is about as scary as Thora Hird and about as offensive as Toy Story after heavy censorship from Mary Whitehouse. It was all I could do to stop short of pissing myself with laughter. I really would like to go to a Slipknot gig and just storm the stage, cut all the power to the PA and say "Oh do stop being silly, you're tea's getting cold". I bet they'd cry, the wusses. Update on Sinister saga - my second visit to #sinister was even more disastrous than the first. Although at least I have started to master mIRC and it's command thingies, I did however wander off at one point to park my car properly outside, rather than in the middle of the road where I'd left it, and forgot to tell anyone. So if you were on #sinister on Sunday afternoon, I wasn't ignoring you, I was just being stupid. Adios, Mike smiley(a)rebelmonkey.freeserve.co.uk http://www.rebelmonkey.freeserve.co.uk Post Script: I realise there might be a bit too much B&S content here for some people, and I promise that my next post will have no relevance to anything at all. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
