Sinister: double wide on lot 841...
by the angel blackwell 11 Jun '00

11 Jun '00

well, it's been an interesting day...because of an asthmatic miscalculation, i ended up in the hospital on thursday...but i got a day off and that wasn't too bad. the little bald man and i stayed in last night because i'm not very mobile at the moment...well this morning, after being woken up because of concert ticket updates, we dicided to drive up north and visit my inlaws in their trailer park...then we found out that the little bald man is an uncle, made so 11 months ago...close family. if you ever want to see an enormous group of people, who are related and drunk before 11am...i got a place for you...yes, we kinda stood out...at least i hope we did... i've just read the best little portion of a post today... caroline wrote this little thing: a lot of the time I listen to songs in isolation (you know how when there is just ONE song you need to listen to NOW, and none other will do). This means a lot of taking out and putting back of CDs, and is annoying when you stand by your CD rack for 10 minutes and can't decide which THE song is, and then realise it may not have actually been written yet. how true is this? some nights when i get the apartment to myself, i'll look and realise there are over 50 cd's lying around on the floor because i haven't listened to more than one song per CD...the worst is when you think of an old song and then find out you never had the flippin thing in the first place.... saw a great movie the other night...love and castastrophies or some junk...hmmm...i liked it, even though there were dykes and not fags...but not a bad bit of aussie film i must say...a real no brainer...which is always good for me. i'm still working on sinister stickers...anyone with any artwork or ideas, email me privately... bye... the angel blackwell... ________________________________________________________________________ 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: hymn for the nonsense - hello all :)
by Ola Szkudlapska 10 Jun '00

10 Jun '00

hello :) since it's my first post to the list (don't know what took me so long :) i'd better introduce myself. sort of. i've been a b&s fan for about a year. a b&s fanatic for the last couple of months :) i'm from warsaw, poland. a place really dull when it comes to music (i went to see oasis on monday. just because nothing else is happening here. now that's *sad* :) i'm learning english at school, and we do a lot of listening exercises during the lessons. what annoys me is that people taped have got really annoying accents sometimes :)) so, during one of the lessons i caught myself thinking 'oh, wouldn't it be great if B&S members did such a tape?'. (scottish accents, scottish accents... aaaahh :))) the tape would of course be accompanied by an appropriate coursebook. :)) i can see them making profits! :D god, how stupid i am :)) oh, guess what. 'fold your hands, child...' isn't available here. i don't know whether it's 'yet' or 'at all'. things like that make me go grr. even GRR, because the songs i've heard (hello napster :) are just brilliant. hmm, i was just looking at my wall. and some nice posters. and a melody maker calendar. unluckily, kelly jones is on the june page. yeurgh. in some mysterious way a great big axe has appeared right next to his neck. :D 'off with his head, man, off with his head man' (apologies to all stereophonics fans. hope there aren't any on the list :) right, this is farr too long for a first mail. i wouldn't want to scare anyone off :) love, ola ps. is it only me or is badly drawn boy a genius? :)) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: I spent the summer wasting.......
by David Strange Strange 10 Jun '00

10 Jun '00

What a lovely summer's day it's been today really hot & lovely. Personally i can't wait for everyday to be as hot as this one not every other day like here in good ol' England. The lovely long-hot days, beautiful cool evening, falling in love, making new friends, having fantastic picnics,drinking in pub gardens and shepherding insects out of windows or squashing them with the nearest magazine handy, it's all fantastic and grate fun. I've decided to learn something new this summer (no, not how to write good posts) Skateboarding, because one it looks cool and two because any other mode of transport is a good one, right and three I won't be polluting the air, no doubt I'll have some lovely new scars and maybe even a broken limb, umm.. maybe it's not such a good idea then. So B&S nearly got arrested on the set of Eastenders maybe they wanted to help poor Roy get back with Pat or take Rolly the infamous Queen Vic dog out for a walk. Perhaps Stuart wanted to grab a pair of Pat's earrings because lets face t they are the best earrings in the world , what style what penuche she has. Right that's about it apart from the football I've drawn Italy in the sweepstakes at work and so for the next 2 weeks I'm going to be a hounrably Italian, likec my friend who used to pretend he was Brazilian to try and impress girls, but that's a whole different story. Love, Kisses & Ribena for all, Dave no doubt it will piss down with rain all week now, if it does then you can all blame me, or Travis. oh yeah I know it's a bit late but cheers to all the lovely people at the Greenwich Picnic you all were lovely & huge cheers to Jeff for letting me sleep in his flat. _______________________________________________________ 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: The loneliness of a song with inaudiable lyrics
by Mr Smiley 10 Jun '00

10 Jun '00

Boo! That got you, no doubt. Anyway, these are the thoughts I had today (don't comment on their sparseness. I had other thoughts, but I'm not going to write about the boring ones. Or the dirty ones. Not that I have dirty thoughts, but as a boy am I not supposed to think about sex every 6 seconds? Not something I've noticed, I'll be honest). A thought. It's nice to see that B&S have been making albums recently with home tapers in mind. Now that there's finally an even number of B&S albums I could make a proper tape to go with my Tigermilk/Sinister one. And fantastically enough, TBWTAS fits *exactly* on one side of a 90. And on the other side fits FYHCYWLAP and Loneliness... *exactly*. Isn't that nice? Well, I think it is because my car stereo doesn't have a fast forward or rewind button. A thought. Does a version of Loneliness... exist where it's possible to hear the words? I must have downloaded it 5 times, and they were all the same version where it's only possible to appreciate it's wonder through headphones because the vocals were so quiet. Can anyone drop subtle hints as to where I might get it? Mail me privately if you do. A thought. Every time I post to Sinister I get a message back from a machine saying that my they haven't received my post because of potentially offensive contents. Excuse me? Oh yeah, my last post had the word 'arse' in it. Cover your ears kids! And this one has the word 'sex' in it (and 'arse' again - twice now). In fact it even happened when my subject line was 'it was the best thex that she ever had', what does this person have a filter that can spot naughty words with a lisp? A thought. For the last 6 days I've listened to FYHCYWLAP virtually exclusively. Who would have thought that this pattern would be broken by a Black Box Recorder album. Also, tomorrow we get to see the album placing, don't we? Top ten, easily. Ok that's enough.

Sinister: B&S go banjo stylee
by Redmond Tully 10 Jun '00

10 Jun '00

Hello all, This is my first post, so don't blame me if this is rubbish! I have enjoyed reading about the lives of the many members of the list, so now its my turn........... ME: I am a student in London, but go back to Manchester in 1 week (hurray!) This year, I've become more and more drawn to B&S, because listening to them is like a holiday, escaping your own stresses and listening to somebody elses, in a very special place. Yes I've had the same stresses as everyone else (exams, girl trouble [sigh]), but more about them another time, but I seem to be doing OK. (sorry that sounds so soppy!). NEW ALBUM: I like it (obviously) especially the sixties soul direction slightly more prominent, eg the chorus of a wrong girl (which is fantastic). Thanks for reading, Redmond ps, if anyone is going to see bis tonight at the garage, e-mail me and we'll meet. I want to meet some fantastic sinister people!!!!!

Sinister: B&S on NPR Friday; Fall reference by B&S met with excitement
by John Monroe 10 Jun '00

10 Jun '00

The new lp was the featured album tonight on NPR's 'World Cafe'. I only heard two songs but it was pretty cool to hear them on radio. I don't know if the program did anymore than that. I would think an NPR site would have all the info. Next: The Fall - and a Nice-uh Day for the Sulking-uh. I love it when my two worlds collide. Somehow, I don't think MES will be doing any homage to B&S however. I have never once sulked to The Fall, but I have been weirded out and at times frightened. I suppose changing the band name in the song to 'the jesus and mary chain' just didn't roll off stuart murdoch's tongue as nicely as 'the fall'. Far more of a sulky band in my estimation. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: The Charlie Lines
by Kenneth P Y Chu 10 Jun '00

10 Jun '00

Hello sinister, >From 0:00 this morning I'm officially no longer a teenager and is halfway towards being 40 years old, which is rather scary. Still it's been a happy birthday so far (main reason is I had a few to drink) A girl had just phoned me up earlier about her boy troubles, I managed to make her feel better which is good, but it's freaky because this is a girl who I somewhat fancies but not really quite fancy, you know, and as I was speaking to her I could feel the "wrong girl" lyrics coming on. Still, the main objective of consoling her was achieved and I'm happy. Using the wrong girl to take a sharp turn on the subject in the e-mail then, I have been reading about a ton of reviews about new b&s album. I loved all of the reviews. Funny though that my love/hate songs are the exact opposite of Mark Casarottos, but I still think his opinions are better because he obviously knows much more about music than I do. I really liked this new album and I think it's a straight contest between this and tigermilk, which is still in a fight with sinister so now it's a triple thread match. I still love Arab Strap though (I have listened to that non-stop last year in Uni and it's my 1st b&s purchase) but I definitely like the other three better. Chalet Line debate: I don't feel that the song is offensive, because it was just a story told, and it's not as if Sturan was singing something like "women are all idiots" or something, which would be offensive, but nothing there seemed to be "offending", you know? Suppose it's not the first time b&s wrote about these kind of things either like in She's losing it with Chelsea who's "been abused" etc. Also like to say that the intro to Waiting for Moon to rise was probably the best ever (the bit that goes "woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo" with the flute(?) thing) I fought in a war almost made me cry, absolutely love it, if people say that the album is too predictable, then I agree, I predicted that it will be grate, and it was GRATE. I've anticipated this day since March, and haven't regretted it since and it's fulfilled every single droplet of my expectations. I also think that putting Nice day for a sulk after Chalet Lines is most genius because I won't be able to take anything else without feeling absolutely depressed after Charlet Lines apart from Nice Day For A Sulk. Also I fall in love with the album/EP cover stars far too easily the Icelandic twins, Sinster girl, Tigermilk girl, Katrina, Isobel, Ahhhh they should stop putting attractive ladies on their CDs, put more gorillas on instead!!! Better go now before they make me be a monkey butler!

Sinister: Re: Go! Go! Go! Go! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
by Elvis ... 10 Jun '00

10 Jun '00

''As always the lunch is naked. If civilised countries want to return to Druid Hanging Rites in the Sacred Grove or to drink blood with the Aztecs and feed their Gods with blood or human sacrifice, let them see what they actually eat and drink. Let them see what is on the end of that long newspaper spoon.'' ''Squatting on old bones and excrement and rusty iron, in a white blaze of heat, a panorama of naked idiots stretches to the horizon. cOmplete silence - their speech centers are destroyed - except for the crackle of sparks and the popping of singed flesh as they apply electrodes up and down the spine. White smoke of burnign flesh hangs in the motionless air. A group of children have tied and idiot to a post with barbed wire and built a fire between his legs and stand watching with bestial curisity as the flames lick his thighs. His flesh jerks in the fire with insect agony.'' Hello sinister people You will have to excuse me as this is ym first post. Well, you will have to or could excuse me for saying not much but dragging it out like a man possessed but with no brain. But then again I may not say much as this is my first post. Ofcourse it isnt my first post because I posted before but that was before so that was different. I have a vague idea about why I am posting., I will stop talking about why or why whatever I am posting. I would like to know some stuff yeh ok. 1. Id like anyone who has read the first third by neal cassady to talk to me about this book. I would like to leanr more about neal cassady as well if anyone knows about any websites or anyhting (I have looked but) or just general information and stuff or anyhtign whatsoever really. Id be inetrested to se more pictures as ive seen one only on a frankly pathetic meagre measly form of a website. Id like to talk about how new adventure sin hi-fi is so something. It has groove. Right thats it from me. This is probably my last post so make the most of it. At leats I think its called ''the first third''. Who has icq number 00000001? Or did it start on 10000000 or soemthing? x post script why does my inner elbow ache and why is the tape ''scorn pie'' brilliant and i havent even listened to it yet ________________________________________________________________________ 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: my two cents
by Joe Galloro 09 Jun '00

09 Jun '00

'allo sinistereens- i too am going to throw in my two cents in to the "The Chalet Lines" discussion. i think it is a well penned song, but it is just so tedious to listen to time after time. i hate the fact that i have to skip over it sometimes. i don't want to but i do. it also seems a little out of place where it is. it might have been a better b-side. i like it, but it hust doesn't do it for like the first times i heard it. well those are my two cents.
