Sinister: SHEFFIELD PICNIC. Hop, skip or jump if you don't care.
by Mr Smiley 09 Jul '00

09 Jul '00

Hello, After much indecision, mostly on my part I confess, the details of the Sheffield Sinister picnic can now be revealed. Ready? OK. Place. Endcliffe Park, Sheffield. Meet at entrance. There's some big gate type things. If you haven't a clue where Endcliffe Park is or you don't know how to get there, there's a load of maps at http://www.shef.ac.uk/travel/maps.html. If you get lost, or if you turn up late and we've all moved off somewhere, ring my mobile on 07961 546354 somehow and I'll laugh at you. Erm, no apparently I'm not allowed to laugh at you. Apparently I have to go and hold your hand and show you where we all are :) Time. Saturday 15th July, 2pm... nuff said. Other. People should bring food and/or amusing things to occupy an afternoon. But if it rains we're going to the pub. So hopefully I'll see you some of you there. And don't any of you even *dare* to think about going to the London picnic instead, on the same day :) Mike :o) For even more confusing gibberish email me at smiley(a)rebelmonkey.freeserve.co.uk or Katy D at jellybabs(a)hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Finkus Dinkus and other obscure comments...my condensed thoughts for you all
by Nik Ovenden 09 Jul '00

09 Jul '00

Hey all you beautiful kids, In keeping with my style of waiting for 150 emails to accumulate and replying at least 2 months after everyone else to a particular subject, i thought it was time to grace you all (hah, like anyone reads this stuff) with my condensed thoughts: I bought FISHYCLAP yesterday. Thats right, the 8th july. Thats's right, over 1 month after it was released. i didnt have any money! yeah, like you'd believe that, you just think i'm lazy. anyway, i love it. IYFS and TBWTAS both took a while for me to get into. in fact, 'strap still is. Odd. so, by your (general term for all of you who didnt like it at first listen) rationelle, should i like it less and less as i listen to it? like an inverse b&s fan? well, i wear black and am into slipknot...he he, not really. yuk. sill masked buggers. I bet that they used to hang around in pubs, saying "yeah, we're musicians" and cos they didnt get appreciated, they put some masks on. without the masks, they obviously wouldnt be popular (even if those fans are pre-pubescent, pseudo-angsty bozos). sorry, i digress. yeah, i love fishyclap. it's great. i'm not even goig to try and find fault in it. i dont want to rate it. Now, the Chalet Lines. I'm not going to put in my full 2 cents/opinion/other metaphor, since i have one small fault. i havent been raped, nor do i know anyone who has. to offer my opinion would be useless. all i know is Stu wished to either a)be controversial, or b) was singing personally (either as victim, or associate of victim). My only opinion on rape is that those who commit it should be at best, jailed for life, if not castrated. This may seem excessive, but it think that t is worse than murder, simply because it must ruin the victim's lives. Am i right? sorry if there are people out there who disagree, but i think it is inhuman. what scares me more is that all of us men have the ability to commit rape. i never would, but i honestly get scared that i could, and more frequently than a healthy human should. Electronic Renaissance: i love this song. at first i didn't, but tigermilk is my favourite album because i love each and every song on it. i can understand why people hate it and why some love it. I'm not going to convince you all one way or the other. don't you hate bloody liberals? ;) (sorry, that's the first and last time i use one of those sodding faces. i hate them, i do) Pink floyd. I love them too. innovation is one of a prog-rock band's key attributes (hence the prog- bit). pink floyd have this. However, i like the more traditional songs. 'Wish You Were Here' is my favourite song. i cant listen to it without going shivery. You know how you have songs, films, things which make you do that? they make you glad to be alive. thanks to pixiedust for bringing it up. i get to talk how i love floyd. somehow, i dont think a radiohead/pumpkins talk will spring up... you're bound to get differences with 1300+ members, i just love the way that you all reason. Anyone here been to the ooberman website? the message board here is the 13-15yr old pathetic areguments version of this site. Their arguing pisses me off. your arguments feel better. I love you all. Sorry for droning on, Love Niko xxx "I'm gonna meltdown" - 'Black Star', radiohead. Did thom have premonitions of playing the festival hall on july 1st 2000, 6 years before 'the bends'? i think so. PS is it worth puttin on a sini- edinburgh/reading group? i need to meet some people, it's like a giant game of 'Blind Date', without the failing romances... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: I always cry at endings...
by julesmarkham 09 Jul '00

09 Jul '00

hey cardie-wearers, well I'm back from my week away at the lakes with Eric, confused as ever as to where we stand. are we just friends, or is it something more? i really do not know. on the train back to Newcastle he held my hand so tightly, and when we finally parted company I could only bow my head and cry. I always cry at endings... he still phones me every day. he says he loves me, but couldn't ever be in a relationship. i don't know, I'm tired and fucked up I guess Julesx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Deep Pop Music
by DelyM2＠aol.com 09 Jul '00

09 Jul '00

I work at a movie theater, and tonight my job was to pop popcorn in the upstairs room. Anyway, there's a CD player up there and i brought along Bright Eyes and A Modern Rock Song to accompany me. This kid i Work with noticed the Belle and Sebastian CD and got really excited because he thought it had something to do with Sebastian Bach from Skid Row. For the most part no one else was upstairs with me, but every once in a while someone comes up there on their brake or for whatever. Some of my co workers were a bit rude about not recognising the music. They were making a big fuss that they never heard it before and that it sounded like folk music or something. Then again... I work at a movie theater. I really have nothing more to say, and my words are not very colorful. so.. so long +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: her summer novel
by Youn J. Noh 08 Jul '00

08 Jul '00

yesterday i had an impulse to listen to The Boy With the Arab Strap. i wasted words putting it down. it's just right for summer, like ice tinkling in a glass, then the glass sweats a little and you're listenening to Seymour Stein, then you're crunching ice on Dirty Dream #2, then you're a bit tight (faux anglais) on The Boy With the Arab Strap dancing wildly on the verandah to the sound of cicadas (the influence of L. Alder). i don't know if it's the production B & S decided upon, but the effect of this record is subtler than previous stuff, and Fold Your Hands Child You Walk Like A Peasant puts it in context: the way a watercolor with the color practically washed out stands out next to a rich oil painting. it's the way stinging tears seem inappropriate in gorgeous summer weather - golden sand grains stuck between your toes and light reflecting off the ocean - until you start to wonder what it was all about. but all that is a dream. i'm in a darkened room with the curtain drawn against the glaring sun. LC got the words to 2cv a bit wrong at the concert. i can't imagine a London sun being cruel though, nothing like here. when things happen for the first time they're more likely to surprise you in an obvious way; Tigermilk and If You're Feeling Sinister seem right for that, but strings and crescendos seem right for driving in the pouring rain, for when your mental life is separate and your actions are subdued. for a man to like children, does he have to be a paedophile? maybe the combination of zippers and children sounds unusual, but it's out of context. unless everyone is smirking again as they're writing, or it's just a easy hook in a campaign against tenderness. a woman with child-bearing hips and a man who can be tender without being a sop, how out-of-fashion! a while back mouche wrote: Just a brief note to leap to the defence of Electronic Renaissance. It gorgeous! The synthesizers sort of sound like... smiles breaking out all over the place. I love that. D'you know Synthstrument by Lou Barlow? It's that kind of sound. Lovely kodakcolor sunshine. sorry to go on about this again, but it was exciting to read this cos i think i hear the part he's talking about in the same way. imagine time-lapse photography of flowers blooming to that sound. yours, youn +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: dark arts
by ineffable 08 Jul '00

08 Jul '00

Well - a productive day or two. I am on-call healing the sick but since my last posting one of my spiritual brothers has worked out who I am (not hard as he recommended the list) and my winged eldritch servants have told me a little of the identity of Monsignor Trouse. From what I hear any misunderstanding/comparison I take as a compliment - although I am still unsure how the confusion arose.

Sinister: nebulous nubile nymphs
by Genevieve Wesley 08 Jul '00

08 Jul '00

Nubile: physically well-developed and sexually attractive but still young.List favourite Christina Ricci has been described as nubile. I can easily imagine Struan being surrounded by nubile supermodels(or dancing nymphs,if you prefer)like those Brazilian superstars,Gisele and Princess Honey,with their windswept tresses,endless sunkissed thighs and heaving bosoms. I'm going to have to stop writing heaving and bosom all the time on this list.I've used it far too much already.But what sounds better? Trembling,quivering,swelling? >what is all this crap about there being B&S videos at icrunch.com, huh? Gah! It's not crap.I wouldn't lie to you sinisterines: http://www.belleandsebastian.icrunch.com/ Ok,from now on lets discuss the songs we love/hate the most but we have to back it up with reason and this should all be done in the form of a poem.This reminds me of English class."You simply can't say you love or hate the book.You have to say why.Respond to it.Let those feelings out." I will do next time. Andy wrote: >Now hold on a minute! I wont have anyone having a pop at Isobel, I >happen >to think that naked, big bums are the best! I do like a girl >with a bit >of a belly....its so womanly! Now come on,was I having a pop at Isobel? I called her delicious!Truthfully,I haven't yet had the pleasure of seeing this sumptuous behind that everyone talks about so much.It's still just one BIG fantastic mystery to me. Since the FISHYCLAP reviews have been running out,why don't we just review what everyone wants to,deep down inside? I bet you could bounce a coin off of Struans. (Ahh yes,now I see why I didn't get any replies from MY fanmail.He think's I'm weird ,doesn't he!when all I ever wanted was to be able to admire. Sob! Struanne,my cruel temptress of the night)I'm jealous.Rachel,you lucky girl! And purple calligraphy to top it all off! Ok,I am in love with coloured pens,especially silver ink on black paper.They should be used more often.Lovingly handwritten...mmm..email is a frigid ice queen...I can't believe that Saucy Pole Dancin' Mark wrote to them too.And a poem.I am amazed.I'm sure everyone in the world has gotten a reply except me. Now I am going to fling myself upon my bed,sob into my pillows and cry out how unfair life is. Yes,lets discuss tennis.Well,the interesting stuff behind the actual games,anyways.I can't believe my Papa actually prefers Martina to Anna.I love Anna Kournikova,and she dates all those hot older hockey players.She's just what a teenage starlet should be like..can you imagine her as captain of the cheerleading squad? She'd kick you in the shins and go 'Oops..I must have slipped!' while running off with your boyfriend. Congratulations Venus though,she's so joyful! No gigs till 2001? That seems so very far away.I have NOT YET SEEN BELLE AND SEBASTIAN play live and I am beginning to think I never will until 40 years from now I'll catch them on the Oldie's night at the racetrack. with love, Genevieve p.s I'm sorry Andy,I don't look like Isobel but maybe I can rustle up that surgeon's mask she wore in those 'back in the day' press shots and you'll hardly know the difference. ________________________________________________________________________ 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: with your junior light-sabre.
by Helen 08 Jul '00

08 Jul '00

hmmm, I have had many listens to FYHCYWLAP, and inadvertantly making various members of my family listen as well, on an 8 hour car trip to a funeral; "i'm driving so i get to damn well listen to what i want", (needless to say i drove for as long as my eyes could be forcibly pinned open, so as to avoid tedious hours of god knows what skeletons are sitting in my parents musical closet) so for my two cents/pence/local monetary unit, i do think that 'the model', 'i fought in a war' and 'there's too much love' are definately the highlights. And there is a soft spot in my heart for 'woman's realm' as well - i like the bit at the end where there are two different singing parts going on. And family tree is so bloody catchy, which is a shame for me because i actually don't really like it all that much. Except for the way that isobelle says stupid. Chalet lines, i often have to skip, and not because i don't like the song, mind, its just a little too depressing sometimes. And that segue with 'nice day for i sulk' i have to agree is kind of awkward. Sorry am I just repeating stuff thats been said much better before? I apologise. Actually i have been told that i apologise too much. so i don't then. there :) did i hear someone say pink floyd? Well i cat i know called pink is having some kittens , and yes, you guessed it the father is Floyd. If anyone wants a kitten, apparently the "piper at the gates of dawn" is already taken, but "The Wall" they'll probably have trouble getting rid of, but anyhow both names would make for some hilarious conversations around the house. Personally I think those kittens would be the best thing to come out of pink floyd in years. actually at all...;) anyhow, better go now before i say something that'll get me beaten up. Helen. *and yes the subject line is what i thought a line from Le Pastie, was originally.....hmmm, missed marketing opportunity if you ask me, think of all the sinister kids wanting junior light-sabre's to go with their original tigermilk and complete cd/vinyl collections. Jeepster, B&S and George Lucus must be kicking themselves. ________________________________________________________________________ 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.
