Sinister: smicknik. au revoir, cheerio......
by BabyChris Crystalballs 10 May '00

10 May '00

This is probly my final mail. I might mail tomorrow. it might be too painful. I thought about a really pretentious end to this mail (I hear that the list has one massive pretentious tosser - see papercuts 'top 3 of the millenium', and someone will stand out, I assure you...) The picnic was interesting. I didn't go to the pub. I went home after stealing some of jason's fantastic sweety supply. and sweetie supply. they kept staring at me when I was in george swuare bfore they said hello, and they were damn frighting. I found the people quite normal. except the lunatic with the rugrats socks and giant towel. and ow(HUGHGRANT)en reminds me of someone. I've been inspired to do 2 things. 1) - give up alchohol. 2) - get a haircut. the new album...... well, I only heard it once, so I can't really judge it yet......... but I liked belles song....It all sounded a bit odd, but that could have been due to the *quality* of the picnics makeshift stereo (my personal stereo, and jens speakers...) the word 'SHITESOUNDQUALITY' comes to mind. I wanted to get drunk too. but I learnt to play the lonlyness.... and am intent on getting it into my (temporary) bands set.... heck, after king tuts, If I actually do play (they threatened to throw me out, due to my non-appreciation of liam gallagchers swagger) I'm going to announce myu retirement at the end. then get a decent band who don't thing that the world rebvolves aropund brit - rock/pop from 1995-1998. has anyonw noticed that amERICA IS five months behind everyone else? I'm scared once again, about life and having no plans whatsoever. except for to go to the edinburugh picnic. and pop down to london sometime, and say hello. I hear that you have a scene down there, while ally or someone agreed with me that in glasgow its just mostly normasl people who like the music..... as opposed to sequin studded TWEE folk. It no secret that I don't like twee. if twee is being an adult who chases butterflies in fields, and makes daisy chains, to seem childish and inocent, then I don't like it. If, however, it is someone who is genuinely innocent, and a bit naive, then fine, and I thought jens summation of it was quite good. anyway. I have to go. thanks people for the GRRRREEEEAATTT year and a half. some advice people have given me has been helpful, and kind. and thanks. bye. signing off, possibly 4 the last time. chris. ps. - sweeties real name is (evil cackle)... ===========message truncated=========== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Sinister uniforms: a debate
by Genevieve Wesley 09 May '00

09 May '00

This is interesting to hear all these twee definitions,before this list,I'd never actually even heard of 'twee' but then,I must confess,I always thought it was about kittens and stuff.I think it's because of TweeKitten records..word association you know.Just like when one hears the word "struan" they think: "powerful hunk of man" But I must ask you,when Isobel talks like a 8 year old,is that what one calls being 'twee' or is that just 'annoying'.Oh Gen,lighten up. But then again..the world holds no cuteness for me...I sit in darkened corners with my sunglasses on.And when I see those bunnies jumping merrily in the fields..and..I want to..step on them.No,not really.I once owned two bunnies,but one froze to death and one ran away so now I am slightly embittered.What if Struan wore pink pjs with the little bum flap exposed.Random mental picture. according to dictionary,twee is: "Overly precious or nice." "affectedly dainty or refined" "dainty, mincing, niminy-piminy,prim" sweet brenda wrote: some kind soul PLEASE mail me a list of the members of Belle and Sebastian cos i'm all at sea about it and never know what the hell ya'll are banging on about? like who the hell is "struan"? and is that really even a name? sorry but NO! oh, and why does everyone hate isobel so much? jealous or what? or is her butt too huge? I really don't know who started the name Struan,who did???..but I've adopted it.'Stuart' doesn't sit well on my tongue anymore. So this idea of Sinister uniforms? I'm going to have to disagree with Erica,even though I'm very jealous of her wardrobe and I want her silver ballet shoes.(And her chalet experiences,cough cough)I don't think we should go all military style,its too boxy,too restricting!I don't like shoulder pads.They make me look like a bridge troll. People need to flow free.Instead,the boys can wear skirts and go commando.And no shirts.Think how natural you'll feel.Wheeee.Catching the breezes.Just like when Sister Disco dreamed this up... "Does that mean he wasn't wearing underpants? If not, did his goolies fall out when he put his foot up on the "white traffic bollard"? No wonder Mister Jones was taken aback...." (Sister Disco,April 1999) And the girls can wear hotpants and tight t-shirts,with some sort of clever slogan on the front.I'm sorry,I blame this all on the alluring Velocity..she's got me all a titter with talk of girl Sinister FC taking on the boys.Girl-champion alias Hon-champ-ey might even be persuaded to join,but only if she gets to serve lemonade to the bruised and aching Boy-Players and wear a specially made pink skirt (that flares delicately around the hips) and doesn't get the ball passed to her.She's a bit of a niminy-piminy.So yes,girls,at the next picnic,don't just sit when the boys play football,get out there and...do rude and distracting things.Make out with each other.Oh,and since Struan is sensitive and has the soul of a girl,he will be on the girl's team. Sinister Hat..yes,I want one.Can it be a grand one like they wear at the horse races? Or I want one with a fishnet veil,and I can wear black lipstick and be dark,like my soul. yours,in hotpants, genevieve xo p.s I didn't go to that Billy Bragg concert,but Billy Bragg once bought my older brother a beer because he "supports the young soliders" just thought i'd share... ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail 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: so I am glad
by Emily Wilska 09 May '00

09 May '00

Friends, Romans, Countrypeeps: I promised in my last post that, having nattered on for a few paragraphs, I would resume my status as a lurker. It was a horrid lie, I tell you. Ian C. was fab enough not only to mention Dave Eggers, but indeed to post his words on selloutdom. And Dave Eggers is fab enough to admit to digging cash and attention and accolades without wallowing in guilt and without being apologetic for either what he's done or what he's chosen. This means that a.) you all really should visit www.mcsweeneys.net, because it features lots of trenchant and witty and sometimes just bizarre writing; and b.) perhaps the debate over selling out should please god please just die now. (I write this knowing full damn well that I am fanning the flames of the very fire I'm trying to extinguish. Carry on.) Yes. I may take this all back the day I walk into my local taqueria and see Belle & Sebastian Chupa Chups (tm), but in the meantime, I stand my ground and cover my ears and swear to scroll through all future posts in which the words "sell" and "out" appear in close proximity. Stopping now. Woo hoo! Mermaid Avenue Part Deux. Very exciting. I am fascinated by the idea of words and music being created so separately yet working so well together. Every time I hear *Eisler On the Go*, I think, Woody Guthrie could not possibly have intended that song to be so slow and mournful. But it's absolutely brilliant, stunning, haunting--and I don't think I'd want it any other way. Not that it's all about me. Not always, at least. The trees outside my window--coquettish, coquettish things--look just lovely in the sunshine of a California afternoon. I think I shall grab a few Swedish oat cakes (mmmmm--Ikea) and go join them for a while. You're all welcome along, too. Not making any more promises I can't keep, Emily +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: "I was a Teenage Legal Man"?
by Coldcolours＠aol.com 09 May '00

09 May '00

Hello, Sorry to keep harping on about this, but in the movie I would like to claim the role of either: A. The wise but alcoholic dance coach or B. The small, left-handed child who has climbed up on a stack of boxes filled with highly-flammable sleepwear. We still need someone to play the part of the frustrated bureaucrat who dreams about large South American countries, and someone to do the voice of the hero's sidekick, who happens to be a talking strawberry pie (or for the foreign markets, a talking jaffa cake). Claim the role you were born to play! Um, is anyone amused by this at all? I'm sorry. feeling terribly insecure joanna +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: But if you are feeling like Orson Welles (go off and see your psychiatrist)
by Coldcolours＠aol.com 09 May '00

09 May '00

Hey Kids, I wanted to share an idea I had, which you may find interesting. A few days ago, a friend and I were walking around Boston, and we came across a film crew shooting a movie. For those of you who have never seen a movie being filmed, it's a tedious affair, with lots of waiting and general milling about. But we decided to sit around for an hour or two, so if Brad Pitt or someone came out we could throw jelly beans at them. (We had a lot of time to waste and a lot of jellybeans.) So we sat around, and I wondered if, had I a boombox and a tape of Legal Man, and I should play it for the director, he would fall in love with it and say "this would be perfect in my movie!!" Which then led to me lamenting the greivous lack of B+S in most movies (besides High Fidelity, of course.). But, instead of sitting around thinking "Belle and Sebastian is better than everyone, why don't people put them in every movie?" I thought, "Why don't *we* make a movie with Belle and Sebastian as the whole soundtrack?" Think about it. The Sinister magnum opus. It could be epic, with a cast of thousands. We could proudly display B+S to the whole world for an hour and a half. We could show all the kids who think we're a bunch of field mice in tiny feety pajamas just how hard and straight and cool we really are. So now all we need is a script, someone with a camera, all the technical movie things. You guys are brilliant, creative, daring people; how about it? Well, it was just a suggestion. :) Til the stars align... joanna "Where was I five years ago? Well, I was here...but I didn't have this coat." +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
