2 days in a row!! a personal record. a well... some things i thought i'de mention. i know how a pheasant walks. apparently quite like a chicken. i thought i would share this. you see, there are 2 (yes 2) stuffed pheasants in my computer room. why you ask? we used to have hunting dogs. but they look like chickens damnit. just with prettier colours. tho i had a teacher once who had blue and pink chickens. she said their eggs were different colours. and this has probably been gone over in detail, but yes..i am still behind. still about 200 to read. but... yeah. i want to say it anyway. yay honey for being mentioned in the thankyou notes!! ok, now i feel good. katrina and david are there too, but we expected that. didnt we? lalala... my copy of fishyclap (is that still usable? cos frankly, im wonder.. but i like it, so i will) is already all scratchy. this is disturbing. this is my summer wasting. i have done nothing so far. ziltch. and i feel really bad about it. but frankly, i'm lazy. and it feels likes its been so long, but only a matter of weeks. ick. i'll stop now.. or else i'll get really mopy and bitchy and you'll all want to shoot me in the head. xoxox Jes +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: *is* every day like sunday?
by sophie harris 02 Jul '00

hello you sweet things, I shant keep you long - just wanted to know if anyone else gets sundaynight weirdness y'know when everythings kinda in order, but you just feel a bit weird hmmmm. My mum calls it sundowning - I reckon it's just a bit scary when you realise you'ce got the whole week ahead of you and as soon as you go to bed, the week will begin hmmm. Right now, the song I have going through my head is from 'spider' which was the finest animated teevee thing since bagpuss if you ask me - it's called 'on the clouds' or somesuch - altho the best song by far is 'true friend' - did anyone else watch spider? weeellllll on my stereo at the moment, I am recording 'happy sad' by tim buckly which I purchaaased today in the surprisingly good hmv sale(£4.99 - raah!) - I 'd never heard it properly before, but my friend david said it's that good that I was won round, and I listened to it when I got home and it's just *lovely* I aslo got clouds by joni mitchell and (at last) my own lazy line pj - yay. Actually, thinking about feast of music to listen to on train to work has cheered me up a bit. in last night's lackofsleep dream, I was at a strangely deserted festivel, when the super furries came on and did 'bad behavoir' and I jumped about a lot, and then gruff asked if they could come back to my house (pah!), and then I woke up. curses. I *still* havnt had a proper b&s dream, I just wake up with the songs in my head, which I guess is no bad thing nor hav I got an intersting belt, shiny blue or otherwise and clearly I still cant type. ahhh well, 's not so bad. I have blackcurrant tea, and actually a little smile on my face come to think of it. 'ray! okay that's me for now, but keep joyful flags flying and stuff and kisses and peaceful starry nights to all love and jam xs ________________________________________________________________________ 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: hungry puppies need to be fed
by Jason Andreas 02 Jul '00

Hi Twee Majority. ***Getting Old*** I'm turning 19 on Wednesday (5th) - this means that I'm now entering my last ever year as a teenager. I don't want to get old - I haven't done enough teenagery things and now it's almost too late!!! *screams* I really am worrying - the time seems to pass so quickly nowadays, I'll be 40 before I know it! <grin> ***TitP*** "If it's goat a tit in it, it'll dae me!" - Frank "Frankie Boy" "Macca" MacAvennie I hope I'll see a few of you there - I'll definately be at Looper and King Adora on Saturday, Soulwax on Sunday - so if anyone recognises me, please come up and say hello :) If anyone wants my mobile number, just mail me and ask <grin> ***Roskilde*** I was deeply saddened to hear of the tragic and appalingly random deaths of eight music fans at the Danish music festival. They should not have died. This is not enough, but nothing else I can say will be either. Let's hope that the same mistakes are never made again. ***Buggering Off*** Cheerio <grin> --Jason Andreas If nice guys finish last, then I'll never finish at all...

Sinister: everyday is like sunday
by ineffable 02 Jul '00

02 Jul '00

Hello everybody. i hope you have all had a nice morning in church and returned home safely. i am working unfortunately so feel a bit grumpy. have learnt from this mailing list thus far not to mention i) baxendale or ii) irony. because i am stupid I am now going to break both of these rules - another reason why i feel waspy is that i failed to get to the baxendale gig last night because of life getting in the way. i was also thinking about the irony debate (as i stepped over a small vomitting scottish girl who had appeared in our flat over night) and Magda's passionate, analytical defence of pre-reflective pleasure - perhaps this should be called meta-irony? i bought 'wild strawberries' yesterday which i am quite excited about - a friend recommended it as apparently woody allen used it as a sort of basis to 'deconstructing harry'. i guess it is all very heideggerian - death is what gives meaning to life. the new album seems to be remaining pretty high in the charts when i wandered along oxford street - at the risk of being prophet of doom , is a fifth album possible/feasible after the success currently? is an element of 'selling out' inevitable? Divine Comedy seem to lose it a bit after promenade and liberation and i would hate to see B+S go the same way. Other famous glaswegians - RD Laing - hip anti-psychiatrist of 1960s/70s. So long. _______________________________________________________ Say Bye to Slow Internet! http://www.home.com/xinbox/signup.html +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Just alive enough to die.
by Julie Sauer 02 Jul '00

A while ago I told Alix that I would respond to her post, but then she wrote all this rubbish about Glastonbury and I thought "Now what am I, an American, supposed to say about that?" Our festivals here consist of crowdsurfing and gang rapes to the obnoxious sounds of Limp Bizkit. Bah. Festivals suck, I always get hurt and dehydrated at them, and I leave cranky. Last year I missed seeing Beth Orton at a festival (the Feztival, actually) because my lip was bleeding profusely after I was kicked in the face by a crowd surfer. Fuck festies! Luckily Alix wrote again the next day and I can say things. Lixi said: >Nick Dastoor materialised briefly <grudge>You mean he wasn't training? For a VERY IMPORTANT football match? </grudge> She also said: >...not realising that it was their sex >they were changing. I have a friend who seems to be making the transformation to drag queen veeeeery slowly, he's been working on it for a few years now. We had lost touch, but one day I was in Hot Topic in Wilkes Barre and I was thinking about how lame I was for being in Hot Topic, but I went to check out my kickass Powerpuff Girls t shirt and who waited on me but said friend. He was wearing a little more makeup and sporting a few more piercings than the last time I saw him. He hopped over the counter and gave me a hug and the shopper goths gave us funny looks. That really had nothing to do with anything, did it? Later on, this guy Steve said: >i have this new belt and like it alot. its electric blue and really thin, >and it sort of looks like a ribon and has this weird very faint red stiching >running along it. and these quick release clips for easy 'belt-on' >'belt-off' action! yes! now i can be in and out of my pants faster than a >jack rabbit! not that i'm ever out of my pants for very long. I'd like to say that I have a magnetic Smurf belt, and it's wonderful. I have a Cabbage Patch Kid one too, but the Smurf belt is better and the elastic is holding up a lot better (I've had these belts since about 1984). So if you're at a show and you see a girl with a Smurfy belt, that's me! Probably. Also, a lot of boys have been talking about dropping their pants in my presence lately. I like it!! I've got nuffin' to say about Belle & Sebastian, except I think my favorite song of the moment is String Bean Jean as it's been in my head for the last few days. Also, I hung my Tigermilk poster in my room in Pennsylvania and put a lovely border of silver stars around it, so it's not going back to New York with me. Speaking of New York, I'm moving back tomorrow, wheeeeee. A very happy Independence Day to all of my fellow Americans and a big :o to you Brit lot. This is the time of the year when alcohol and gunpowder combine, legally. Usually. My dad's got a stash of super illegal fireworks in our garage, so if our house ever catches on fire be sure to stand in the street and watch as there will be a lovely pyrotechnic display as my belongings are consumed in flames. I watched Shallow Grave tonight, and as it was one of the few Ewan movies actually set in Scotland, WHY WAS HE NOT WEARING A KILT AT ALL??? More kilts! More kilts! C'mon, you have to admit he looked cute in that kilt at the end of a A Life Less Ordinary. It made the whole movie worth it. I love you all. Kisses to all who deserve it. xoxo Julie "It's only pop music, why are you asking me all these questions?!" -Robbie Williams +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Bring me the head of Macy Gray!
by M Styer 02 Jul '00

02 Jul '00

Hello- This is my second post and I'm writing mainly because it is my birthday. It wasn't too hot today, maybe 101. I spent the whole day inside and wasted time. My father gave me a Q magazine, which I read page to page. I was very happy. Speaking now, like this, about a magazine reminds me of those old stories where children would recieve a cornhusk doll and an orange for their birthday (and then rejoice!). Since I live so far from Britain Q is a little over ten dollars. A rare treat. Yesterday I watched nothing but black and white movies I have been recording ,then storing. The best were Shindler's List and Medea directed by van trier. Quite good. After awhile all the movies blended with reality. I listened to Patti Smith's Horses and fell asleep. In the morning I opened my window (despite the heat) and listened to TBWTAS really loud. Quite a nice "moment". I just completed a series of pastel drawings of the "evil twin" off of FYHCYWLAP. Each in a different color and each more bizaare as the series continues. The last few came out so cruel looking I decided to go back to copying flowers up close. At least they don'tfollow you around the room (shudder). My dad gave me a promotional copy from his station of Macy Gray and Travis. I agree immensly about Macy being bad, from a previous post this week. But I haven't really listened to it closely. It sounds sad that I didn't have Travis yet, but I never got the urge to buy. I guess it is okay. Right now I'm playing Exile on Main St by the rolling stones and will probably give Sinister or Fishyclap a listening before retiring. Overall,...I pretty good birthday. Farewell Miles By the way- my father gave me a comical self-help book called You Are Worthless. I thought it was quite humorous until it started to depress me. It was one of those moments where even though you don't smoke you reach for an immaginary cigarette because it just seems like the right thing to do.Bye ----------------------------------------------- FREE!
