Sinister: the best of Dokken
by Courtney Knopf 30 May '00

30 May '00

i happened to be trapped in a hellish state of boredom tonight, and my roommate turned on VH-1. And that was when i saw something more horrifying than www.michaeldouglas.com (though i never thought that possible). the backstreet boys were performing 'i want it that way' while being accompanied on vocals by STING. oh my sweet jesus, i didn't think anything could be so wrong as hearing gordon sumner utter the lyrics 'you are... my fire/the one...deeesiurrrr.' it sends a wave of nausea over me even now. the opening band for Supergrass last monday in los angeles was... interesting. they're called Tsar and the lead singer looks like a male version of eartha kitt. i wonder if he can meow. what say the los angeles contingent of the list get together one day soon and drink profusely? the kind of profuse drinking that lands you in china town and possibly involves karaoke. sound good? i thought so. xo ~Courtney http://www.soundbreak.com ________________________________________________________________________ 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: tous les garcons s'appellent Patrick et sont nes en 1973
by Youn J. Noh 30 May '00

30 May '00

Hello, Sinister. Robin wrote: > Someone told me last night, that when she first met me she > thought I was gay. Apparently, this is because "you take care of your > appearance". "Which makes me gay?." "Of course." Only English men look good in pink shirts. A former professor of mine even had a lavender shirt - and the color was so rich, it looked sateen. And it suited him well. But it must put women in a strange position, having to dress better than them or else being made to feel unfeminine. When I was an undergraduate, the campus association of gays, lesbians, and bisexuals gave a talk in our dorm. Later on I saw one of the speakers on campus wearing a black shirt with white polka dots. (I remember him because I asked him an overly earnest question about how being gay affected his relationship with women. Somehow, I believed that being gay would carry a man's relationship with women to dizzy platonic heights...) And he looked nice. Not everybody could pull it off. The Great Gatsby had a lot of nice shirts so maybe he was gay and that's the real reason Daisy cried at the sight of them. I said some mean things to my sister on the phone, so I feel bad. I wish we were kids again. I didn't mean to be mean, but I had to explain. Sometimes I wish there were more space between sticking up for yourself and hurting other people. But she doesn't react anymore to anything I say: not directly, not to me. So how can we still be close? No. I don't mean that. She's a materialistic slob. She takes over everything around her. And she took our (not incl. her in 'our'; it's too bad he's so friendly; otherwise, he might bark at her to make her go away) dog for a walk and nearly killed him (she told me he could barely walk and that he threw up when he came home), the walk of course being really for her benefit. Ugh!!! She should just keep away! liisa wrote: > i wish b+s would do a punk cover, id like to see stuart shouting and > looking really angry:) dressed in black. I wonder if "Chalet Lines" will be an angry song or a sad song. (Please don't tell me though.) I imagine Stuart to have white heat/silent treatment kind of anger. That's the most cutting.

Re: Sinister: Phil Collins

hello. nick said 'phil collins' and then waffled on about B&S without no mention of the 'man' again. To get this out of the way before serious discussion, Lucky Man has been stuck in my head for ages now, but its in the form of the Eurotrash tune. Does anyone else have this problem? Anyway sorry lads, but it does. back to Phil. I like him. I'm having a year of Phil revelations, I recently told my best friend this, amist her chuckles she searched high and low for the greatest Phil 7"s she could find - what a mate. Im going to be away for a while - this only concerns Scots folk, so guys - still mail me at this address I should be in Scotland soon - hurrah. buye.

Sinister: Like Giving Birth
by clb112 30 May '00

30 May '00

Hello everyone, hope you're all nice and happy in the sun (or rain if its raining where you are). WEB COMMUNITY Does anyone else still have this hang-up that there's something wrong with people who are on lots of email lists and go to chat rooms ? I don't mean to offend anyone, but I'm kind of embarassed about being on a list. Its a good list, its just that my friends would think it a bit sad...sorry (please don't all email me and tell me to "piss off then"). SING-SING Sing-Sing's (ex-Lush) first EP ("Feels Like Summer", "Hit and Run" and "Command") was divine, wasn't it ? The sound-track to my year in halls, which paradoxically was not a divine year. But their new single is crap, isn't it ? THE BUCKLEYS Jason and anyone else - hows the Buckley listening coming along ? List-abuse blah blah blah and everything, but can I just very quickly mutter that Jeff's "Everybody Here Wants You", "I Know We Could Be So Happy", "Lover, You Should've Come Over" and "Hallelujah" (of course) are SOUL. So are Tim's ballads ("Song for the Siren"), psychadelic pop songs ("Phantasnmagoria in Two") and monkey-hooting animal ten-minute instrumental jungle raucous jamming... (grrrrr) GIVING BLOOD A tangible nice big bag of red (like giving birth...). Which brings me to the B&S content - had IYFS on my walkman while it was filling up. You can get drunk easier afterwards. Lots of love Caroline xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Nottingham/Sheffield Picnic
by Katy Dutton 30 May '00

30 May '00

Pre-Script note: Why did it take me three attempts to spell 'picnic'? Ahem. To the point. As the subject of this mail may suggest, a Nottingham picnic is in the works. We think. If anyone lives in the vague area of Nottingham/Sheffield, mail me if you would like to come. It's so vague as yet that we don't even know when or where it would be. You can always mail Mr Smiley with your comments though <g>. Or me. It'd be in the summertime-ish, probably after exams (A-Levels, Uni modules etc for most of us). So far, I believe we have the approval of Mr Smiley(or Mike, as he's commonly known), James Glossop (by proxy) and err maybe Robin Stout. I know there's some more of you out there...it'll be fun :) Right, sorry for the brevity and lack of content and barefaced promotional cheek of this mail, but I need to find out who's in the area (why did I just feel compelled to type 'da area'? Argh...).

Sinister: busting out of the nursery
by space girl 30 May '00

30 May '00

hello all, just got out of the nursery (as you can all see from my original subject line). i figured i would just say a few words about myself and love of belle and sebastian. i am 19 years old and i live in new york city and was introduced to b&s six months ago and fell in love. i play the guitar a bit, so its fun to pick it up and jam with some fellow friends who are into belle and sebastian as well. as for legal man, i really love it. legal man itself reminds me of austin powers music, i think its the sitars in the background and that real poppy beat. winter wooksie is beautiful, very great. and judy is a dick slap......well its a nice instrumental and all.... anyways, summer is here and i will be wasting it away, hopefully with friends in the park and looking at the sky and reading some good books. if anyone has any suggestions on the books, please email me back, i would love to hear from everyone. xoxox, spaceygirl p.s. if anyone wants to get a great album, figure 8 by elliott smith is my reccomendation. ________________________________________________________________________ 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: Albert R. Broccoli presents
by Sarah Garrett Sonner 30 May '00

30 May '00

Darling Sinister, I'm aiming this straight for your heart, Ive been undercover, Rockin and Rollin up and down the midwest, and took note of the following... Last week when I was in Arkansas, several states south of my CDs, I was listening to a tape of TBWTAS and Sinister on my little headset. I had already turned out the lights and couldnt fall asleep because the house was just too damn quiet. I played both albums all the way through, and fell in love again, before the headphones got itchy and I took them off and fell asleep. Its been awhile since I was able to listen so intently, and I swear I kept hearing things Ive never noticed before. (Props to the ever-relevant Scott who I believe mentioned this audiophilic phenomenon in the context of Tigermilk a while back.) A year ago, when I began listening to B&S almost constantly, I was spending too much time in airports and on planes and couldnt hear the subtleties over the interference from engine noise and screaming children and people. Now I always take that tape on trips. Knowing all the words is somehow comforting. Contrary to the obvious, I dont find Seymour Stein to be the most appropriate song, instead Sleep the Clock Around, partially for the valium mention. I get so nervous about flying on planes that Im always wishing for in-flight sedatives. And here are those lovely people telling me to take one, yknow? And now for the point of this paragraph: I have yet to apply my late night headphone-listening as a litmus test to the new album. I wonder how the production quality (walls of sound?) will seem when heard that way. I like being able to hear fingertips sliding up and down a fretboard. Oooh. On my most recent flight from Dallas to Chicago, the public failed to remark upon my colourblind T-shirt. I perversely prefer this T-shirt to the rest of the batch because its hard to read, but nicely colored and designed. Plus since I go to an art school, people have never come up to me and said, Oh, Belle and Sebastian! They say, Oh, I do paintings like that! And then I smile and nod. Nick wrote: "But before everyone forms a lynch mob, we should see things from both sides now: 'Family Twee', you see, had its 'controversial' lyrics penned by Stuart himself. That's all I know." And then I said, Yikes! I must admit Im puzzled and even somewhat alarmed. Controversial, indeed. So I take it Stuart did not write the music for this? Ive been trying to imagine the lyrics sans Isobel and cannot make head nor tail of it. Im so confused--I mean thin--Im so thin! I also wish to join the crowd that wants The Loneliness of a Middle Distance Runner to be officially released, but I wonder if I would end up liking the live version kinda better, like I do in the case of Winter Wooskie. Speaking of which, I feel I can hardly comment on the new single. Ive been too busy fighting crime in disguise. And dancing the frug. With Mike Myers. But in between the demands of my international lifestyle of mystery, I wondered if Im the only one who misread Winter Wooskie as Winter Wookie and then pictured a shivering Chewbacca in a puffy coat. Of course this happened ages ago when I heard of the song before I actually heard it, so maybe someone else has already contributed this drippy bit of silliness. >From the U.S.A. with L.O.V.E., Agent Double Oh Sarah ________________________________________________________________________ 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.
