Sinister: sad music bastards

Damn, I thought I'd be the first to post about "High Fidelity" and report that I hooted loudly and knowingly when Seymour Stein starting playing. Fellow listee and movie companion Madflowr joined in my guffaws of indie knowingness and we came about a button's width to exchanging high fives. Imagine Belle and Sebastian were the New York Yankies strolling out on the field and we were the drunken fans with B&S painted in green on our bare chests, sloshing beer on the Radiohead fans. The movie was funny as hell, but just alright in careful contemplation. God, it's so weird to see a Slits album 15-feet high. Attack of the Giant Slits, indeed. I wonder what Joe Blow who stopped buying records after Billy Joel released "The Stranger" would make of it. But a relatively tiny number of people would get the scene where John Cusack (isn't my boyfriend beautiful, y'all?) apprehends shoplifers with Brian Eno, Minutemen and other unlike-minded bands, and Cusack's line after he busts them unless you know it's very dissimilar music. 'Course the movie doesn't have many moments like that; otherwise it'd be playing only DC instead of a mall in Virginia. --Jennifer +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Don't split your infinitives, child, you talk like William Shatner

Hello all! I have just returned from "High Fidelity." Question: HOW COULD THEY THROW OVER B+S FOR "WALKING ON SUNSHINE"???? Well, at least they did play them, and mention them as well. If the guy who played Dick, the shy record store worker, should happen to be a Sinisterine, honey you have my crush vote till the end of time :) Good movie though, if longish. To you who have read the book, do they go into the rules of making a mix tape? That is such a fascinating subject. You might remember me as the "diamonds on Neptune" girl. Nice to see you again. After my first post, where I gushed about the story in Tigermilk, some people tenderly informed me that Belle and Sebastian were not, in fact, real people. To them I say, I did know that. I just meant that the story bore so many similarities to their early history--the diner, the songs, etc--I figured that "B" and "S" were pseudonyms for Stuart and Isobel. If I am mistaken, I am filled with shame :). But everyone has been really sweet. I thank you. To answer another question, neither whistling nor playing B+S really loud in traffic has ever worked for me. At all. Has publicly (sp?) flaunting B+S ever worked for anyone here? I'd like to hear about it. A while ago, someone tried a Sneakers-scrabble tile thing with the new album title. I am very supportive of this, but very lazy--if you want to try it, check out the internet anagram server, there's a link to it on Subpop.com I believe. Let me know if anyone tries this and comes up with something interresant. It should now be painfully obvious that I had nothing to say. I apologize. :) May your dreams be sweet, never sinister... (For Murphy's sake!) Until we meet again Joanna "I know you...I care to...I see through...all of the pictures that you hang on your wall.." --Nick Drake To butcher Voltaire (?), "If Chris Murphy of Sloan had not existed, it would have been necessary to invent him." +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Re: sinister-digest V4 #102

hi. se cond post fear maybe. now ive got to fear that my secret life as a serial killer will be err. soemthinged. i'll give you a quick run down of soemthing. i had/havent got many trousers. so i cut into the bottoms to fold out the flappy bits. this makes quite a mess with bits of dead string and such. maybe it will be in the news. in the local paper. ''boy with no trousers on beats his trousers up on the patio''. i would like to think the quality of that could-be headline is equal to or greater in journalistic skills of the worksop guardian. i cant be bothered to see if that makes sense or not. so then i ironed the bottom bits. and continued to beat them. the white pair had a stain on he bottom where i killed the bin man i mean fell of my bike into a goats carcass. i mean err err err. so anyway. i wonder if i started making outrageous and horrible comments now anyone would notice. if i put ELVIS ELVIS ELVIS in big letters, maybe i will acquire a shed load of german tourist fans in a bus or coach? the my-writy-stuff readers amongst you, i.e two, will be pleased to know the elvis related-ness of them has gone a bit. maybe. although quite obviously, he still is in our hearts and minds, we keep him alive through carefull use of poetry story writing formaldahyde [r.e spelling. go away] . [no dont infact. i . anyway.] . hes alive anyway 1 year today since my scruffy handwriting adorned the bathroom wall with the profound text that was ''31-3-99'' i dont quite grasp the ''FREE DRUGS'' mirror-esque (?) campaign that famous club type magazine is doing. anyway, ironing. so i got the ironing board out. and isnt ironing just like gliding in several ways? like its gliding as it goes over said trouser. but i think the pleasure it gives a person must be on a par to flying one of those like sky type wings and stuff but no engine? things. i couldnt work out how to use the ironing board when putting it away. and it slammed 1 cm (i measured it honest) from my finger. the thought was very painfull. it reminds me in some obscure way of the time the romanian or soemwhere man came to ask the way to retford. i suppose it was the same hallway thing. tenuous. however thats spelt,. oh . i had a dream too. about the words twee grate hard kid sad jumper and multi-coloured all appearing in a paragraph cut-out of about 2cm by 4 cm. i think it was related to me cutting out the quote about urban hyms as being the verves album. as in the verves album urban hyms. it just made it sound like one. why i cut it out. i dont know. im goign to go and cry and get very scared now. in a cupboard. i guess people do longer posts than this. hmm. i think i will go and put my single tone fake brown beard n.h.s glasses with big bue eyes and eybrows with holes in the middle and a red head scarf type thing. as a disguise. mm,mmm. tape tree person. i dont actualy have any cds or tapes or anyhting music wise. my only posessions are a orange sock and a pipe. or i dont have anyhting to tape people. either way. hmm. id send another wonderfully personalised email to tell you this, but im scared, that i will go up from serial killer into cyber stalker serial killer. ignore that. bytheway. ______________________________________________________ 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.
