Sinister: Nuremburg Picnic?
by Peter Miller 28 Jul '00

28 Jul '00

Umgowa Whities! Admittedly the frighteningly named Sinsiter list organisation does have some things in common with the Nazis, such as discipline, smart clothes and massive public displays of strength, but there the similarities end. If I had a pound for every disgruntled listee who compared us to the Nazis, I'd have enough for a McMenu. Why doesn't anyone ever compare us to Laurent Kabila's personal bodyguard? Sinister stands for brotherly and sisterly love. We have been brought together by our unfailing love for Belle und Sebastian. If "Legal Man" (note fascist undertones of title) is a Northern Soul stomper, does that make "Women's Realm" a Northern Soul Floater? We're going to have lots of safety Northern Soul Floaters on the concert boat, currently under construction in Hamburg. It's going to have a watertight DJ booth, and the DJ's going to be a cross between Chris Geddes and an octopus, so he can have eight songs cued up at once and then go for eight pints. "Judy is a Dick Slap" sounds like a Ramones title, doesn't it? DOESN'T IT? Oh bloody sod yer then. The Christopus will also be able to play eight keyboards at once, just like RICK WAKEMAN. No Jordi, that is not the correct word...

Sinister: It's like I'm on the moon
by Mark Casarotto 28 Jul '00

28 Jul '00

Maybe it's that Friday feeling, maybe I'm just cer-azy. I don't know. So I decided to post to sinister again. Sinister's a bit good, isn't it? The best bit about sinister is when you meet up with other sinisterines and discuss the list. Sod the band. It's the list that's bursting with gossip and lust and tapes with youth songs, and as it's FORBIDDEN to talk about it here we get our fix in the Olde Cheshire Cheese. Even Honey does it. Which reminds me - Julie, haven't you got better things to be doing than posting to the list? Despite living in Lahndon, no stranger has ever approached me because I was wearing something B&S. The girl with the big smile behind the cloakroom counter at 200 Troubled Teenagers grinned at my Looper badge, but it was a bit too obvious, really. And there was that rather tasty gay fellow who asked why I had badges on upside down. Hmmm. But apart from that, zip. Someone in the gym looked at my Study at Stow t-shirt oddly, but that was probably because it didn't say "Dirk's One-Stop Muscle Shop for Real Men" like everyone else's. Erm, Knightowl - Pleeeeease check the archives for definitions of twee - it's been discussed in quite some depth and it hurts my ears... and Mindmonkey, your excite mailbox is "temporarily over quota" - and I've got a mail I'd like to send you...Carsmile Steve, good tactics mate :-)... Magnetic Fields gig = fantastic, also fantastic was booking office who gave me 4 tickets in the middle of the second row in the Queen Elizabeth Hall - I now know the make of Stephin Merritt's guitar strings. Definitely my second favourite band in the world, though listees will be disappointed that I uncharacteristically didn't shout this out to the band in front of lots of cringing people like I did last time. Ahem. Ach, this is a poor post. I'll stop now.

Sinister: Katie Homes and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
by Brian Phillips 28 Jul '00

28 Jul '00

Hello kids. 1. Laura Llew described me as "that Katie Holmes stalker on the coast", and while my subject line might only reinforce the myth, I'd like to take this opportunity to attempt to dispell it. --> I have never even seen the tv show "Dawson's Creek". <-- There, I hope that helps. HOWEVER--- I recently joined a band that practices in a quaint "store-n-lock" in Wilmington that is LITERALLY RIGHT NEXT DOOR to Screen Gems Studios, where they film... Dawson's Creek. So I'm pretty much a rock star already. Out of principle. 2. LYNYRD SKYNYRD: Has a song called "Gimme Three Steps", and the opening line from that song is... "I was cuttin the rug at a place called the bug With a girl named Linda Llew" So I thought that sort of related to Laura Llew's poems.

>To our American brethren - is the X-men movie any good? first i've gotta set this one up. my friend tom was one of the lucky 1200 people to recieve passes to the x-men pre-screening at the galaxie theatre in san francisco; a theatre that holds 600. it was like the lifeboat situation on the titanic, and nearly as disasterous 'til the lady from fox agreed to run the film twice. we finally got in. and it was *damn* good. i even snuck out of work 3 days later and saw it *again*. it's a real event film, so make sure you get the big popcorn, the big pop, and the hot tamales. yrs, jacob okay and by the way: they don't even bring *up* the whole rogue/mystique connection....maybe they're saving it for the inevitable sequels. p.p.s i originally opened this post, cos i thought there might be some 'buffy the vampire slayer' content in here. do they even show that outside the states? ________________________________________________________________________ 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: Howdy from Texas and welcome to my first post!
by Lisa & Lee 27 Jul '00

27 Jul '00

Howdy from Texas, y'all Sinisterines! I am newly out of the nursery and also new to the wonders of Belle and Sebastian. Pardon me whilst I swoon over this band! I am in love with their music in a way that, quite honestly, I hadn't really expected to be with a band ever again. (My other faves are David Sylvian, Cocteau Twins, Tori Amos and of course lotsa good Brit pop!) I knew *of* B&S for a year or so, but hadn't found the time to give them a listen. Actually, the movie "High Fidelity" reminded me to check them out, so the next time I went into my friendly lil' indie record shoppe, 33 degrees, I gave "fishy clap" a listen. I was, and remain, smitten. Over the next few days, I felt the compulsion to hunt down and purchase all of their catalogue. Now's the time for mugs and teeshirts, methinks. Hope this isn't too rambling...surely you've time for someone who's getting to know what you've all known for years now, the subtle hybrid of pop folk wonderment that is B&S. I must also mention how much I'm enjoying the well crafted posts on this here listie-poo. Reading narratives about folks' lives in England and Scotland, Canada, New York, etc. is always a plus, as these are some of my favourite places on the planet. Nice to hear from people who actually get to live in them! Once I've been on the list a bit longer (just a few weeks so far) I will be able to reference names and such , but for now I'm just trying to keep up with the threads of conversation. Picnics sound like a great way to celebrate our superior aesthetic senses. Anyone ever think of one in Texas? We should probably wait for the summer to be over tho'...100 degrees + doesn't really inspire one to pic and nic. Um, I shall wait until I can craft a personal narrative that has some relevance to the list before I subject you to the effluvia and detritus of my life. Just another Texas Belle, Lisa H. p.s. send me email if you're of a mind to! leesa(a)ccsi.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: My Name Is Laura Llew and I need a Subject Line
by Laura Llew 27 Jul '00

27 Jul '00

Wow! I must say that for a few days there the posts on the list were STELLAR. With a deluge* of Laura Llew poems who could go wrong? I would like to thank James A ThorninMyLey and Steve "laura doesn^Òt make my dreams come true" Hewitty for their efforts. It was perfectly acceptable to use Libra in the poem since I am indeed a Libra (and you thought my sign was 'no tresspassing'). Jim "I^Òm so hip I have trouble seeing over my pelvis" Gilmer also joined in the poetry fun with: "Laura Llew, who makes my eyes water like dew, I shall always be true, to my little llew poo-poo shadoo." I^Òll give you a moment for all of you to regain your composure since I know you^Òre all weepy from such depth and beauty of it all. Can this list ever stick with a good thread? Noooooo. Who^Òs this God person anyway and where does he get off taking up all my air time on Sinister? I^Òve got some good intentions and I^Òm in the mood to pave! Actually, I^Òm going to behave myself and keep out of the religion debate. It happens every few months anyway so I could always remark next time it comes around. Perhaps, I should hush before I get struck by lightening. Before I do so though I will leave you with a poem since I asked for some myself - Roses are red Violets are blueish If it weren^Òt for Jesus We^Òd all be Jewish. Again, I^Òll give you a moment to get yourselves together.. .... I want to apologize for my last post which was of epic of proportions. Its was a tome whose length even rivaled my kid sister^Òs fabled Christmas List of 87 (cross indexed and foot note for user friendly capabilities) and I'm quite sorry. I always go over but never to 13K. You know something is too long when Pine Fox** makes a comment about it^Òs lengthiness. I must also try and make amends for an obvious blunder where I said the line "do something pretty while you can" was from I Could Be Dreaming instead of the obvious We Rule The School. I knew this. However, I^Òve been thinking about I Could Be dreaming a lot lately. This is definitely not a "twee" song with lyrics like - - "If I kill him now, who^Òs going to miss him?", - "Do you want to do it now? Outside the butchers with a knife and a bike chain?" (evil lyrics followed by this innoncent La La La as if he were some vertically challenged smurf of blue), - "A family's like a loaded gun. You point it in the wrong direction someone's going to get killed.^Ô (how true is that?) Of course, We Rule The School is nice too. You can^Òt go wrong with a song that mentions "NC" (even if it isn^Òt referring to North Carolina. rah!). My most recent mishearing: I just realized that in Photo Jenny that when I was hearing "Get that Bitch some chairs" it really says "Get some fish and chips". Whoops. I just saw a picture of Mick Cooke for the first time. What a cutie! Is he single? hehe Random Sinister Thought: I always thought the only thing I would get out of dating guys a few years older than me was some shoddy mix tapes with crap music on it like Peter Cetera. I just discovered that bad taste wasn't permeating in that age group. However, the only ones who seemed to escape live in England or on the west coast or they're moving to the west coast soon. Figures. you only think you're at the end, Laura "An idea isn't responsible for the people who believe in it." -- Don Marquis *- Yes, Bill. 2 is a deluge **- Pinefoxxy, remember you^Òre mine. I^Òm getting a leash and tags made too. PS- Miss Lucy. Calling Miss Lucy. I wrote you an e-mail which included words like "ball pean hammer" and "hive of bees" which I might have sent to the wrong address since I^Òm quite slow on keeping up with people. If you didn^Òt get it, I must say that it was brilliant, clever, and insightful. Anyway, I just didn^Òt want you to think I was neglecting you. PPS - Mad Shoutz out to the new NC homeboyzzz on the list - Mattwho in Charlotte and that Katie Holmes Stalker on the coast, Brian. PPPS - Lawrence "The Milkman" Milkensen, I thank you kindly for using a song lyric that has been haunting me for weeks as your subject title in your post the other week. What do you think of my athesist tracts? And don^Òt worry - I still remember my debt to you. PPPPS-- Thanks to the Jonathan Edwards of Sinister, Rickbozard for that lovely sermon. I feel like a sinner in the hands of an angry God already. It^Òs always nice to get in touch with my puritan side. PPPPPS -- I^Òve only heard one Snow Patrol song and I was really digging it. Any fans wanna suggest any albums to me or better yet make me a mix tape? C^Òmon, I^Òm a poor college.. um graduate. ________________________________________________________________________ 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: none
by Colin Ferguson 27 Jul '00

27 Jul '00

I am very annoyed. A few days ago, I dropped CD4 from the Peel Slowly and See VU box set. I leaned back to pick it up and the leg of my chair crushed it. I am sooo pissed off. I don't know if I can get the disc separately. It was the disc wiht the Velvet Underground album on the (1968 one), and it's was in it's 'Closet mix' version, which you can't normally get on CD, so even if I have to buy it separatly and lose all the non-slabum stuff that was on the disc, I still can't get it in it's 'proper', original form. That's realy the leas of my worries at the minuet, but it's all i really feel comfortable talking about. Aw well. Sorry there was no B&S content, but VU are namechecked in Expectations, so they you go.
