Sinister: America, I was a communist when I was a kid I'm not sorry
by Vicki Rider 22 Aug '00

22 Aug '00

Hi All, I've been Lurking about the country: New York City, Chicago, and Milwaukee. I went with my dad and had a great time, especially in NYC where I got to see my sister, the first time in two years. For some reason I hated Chicago, and Milwaukee I had seen last year but it was fun enough. Then, three days after I get back, high school starts up again, so what's a gal to do? But I'm starting my second week now and things are much smoother. But at least whenever I'm feeling low about the fact that no one else in school (except for a select few group of friends) has even HEARD of Belle and Sebastian, I can just hurry home and read the marvellous, fabulous, phantasmagorical Sinister list, and all is well. I mean, what other group of people do you know has heard of Richard Brautigan, for crying out loud? Bless you all!! I read line in a previous post that I think needs repeating: > "i think that Bush is a slimey bastard fit >to be thrown to the lions but that's just me" When will this evil evil man be stopped?? There's a grassroots campaign among certain people at my school this year; on their backpacks and t-shirts are hand-made patches shouting FEAR BUSH (www.fearbush.com) So there is hope! For someone who is not yet old enough to vote, I find this year's election particularly frustrating. Bush & Gore's speeches are simply tested and approved patter that has gotten previous generations elected, so what they're selling isn't new, excited politics but simply regurgitated empty promises and fake smiles. That's why we should all Vote Nader, and tell these "politicians" where to stick their speeches. Grrrr. I'm usually not this angry normally, I swear! I'm just a simple Phoenix girl that reads too much about Andy Warhol's Factory (you know it's getting obsesssive when you wear that certain striped sailor shirt on a weekly basis), and listens to way too much P!O!P! Idleberry asked: where have other sinisterians heard B+S being played? The oddest place I heard them played was in this itty bitty movie theater in New York (movie: The Filth and the Fury, which was pretty enjoyable). It was playing in the lobby; the song: Dirty Dream #2. I thought, WoW! NYC IS a cool city!! I just realized my Galaxie 500 cds have music videos on the computer. Isn't technology a blast? Well, I'll leave you all now for greener pastures (homework), and have a great Labor Day................. Ciao!

Sinister: Chalet Lines
by Brier Random 21 Aug '00

21 Aug '00

OK, help please: What is a Chalet Line? I know what a Chalet is, and I know what a Line is, but put the two together and I don't see it. But then, I'm always a little slow. I thought it was Stuart who was raped, until I realized the girl's pregnant. So any info on the meaning of this term would make me glad.

Sinister: SNAKES ALIVE!

diving in. alex said: >Has anyone else ever met >people they really like? no. rarely do i meet people i like. now that i am no longer a teenager, it is high time for me to start being a cantankerous old mong. expect vileness from here on in. send me a mail titled 'nastiness' and i'll send you one in return, which i can guarantee will have at least 3 (three) insults contained within. i mean it man. isn't this auction idea fascinatingly P.R.I.M.E? whats everyone got to offer then? i have vileness AND vile's disease; they can have that. 'either be successful or us' isn't a tautology! who said it was? shoot the fiend! maybe it is a tautology now, but surely they were unsuccessful (discuss) at the time. they'll always be failures in my eyes anyway. i awoke on saturday morning trying to remember the word 'palindrome'. what kind of god does that? makes me have a hangover, and forget words that are virtually essential for everyday life? then, soon as i'd remembeed it, i recalled the dream i'd had that night, in which tim hopkins only had one arm. i don't know what that means. i've been on this computer all day and i'm starting to feel a bit peculiar. yesterday i went on a mini picnic, with my miniseries/ sinisterines. sally and i had a pringle eating contest. we both won. in some ways, we both lost too. mark tried to coax worms from their earthy hideout. arantxa wore fabulous shoes. vicky was the high priestess of Marv. lucy took my wallet home by accident. i walked home all the way from camden. there were lashings of ginger beer. no, scratch, just beers wines spirits and dough balls. now, i must let you on your ways. choose wisely, and don't fall into any pits of snakes, or indeed despair. lixi. ________________________________________________________________________ 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.

by emily walker thornton 21 Aug '00

21 Aug '00

well then, >...and emily is still on the >list...but quiet...hmm you know, being mentioned on the list has been the highlight of my summer (that and doing cartwheels on a dusty balcony 4 floors up in the middle of the night in athens, greece) and all i had to do was sit around a smokey club till 3am. not that hard, really. but enough about me, let's talk about...me! no. ok, anyhow i've been instructed to finally put out official/unofficial word of an impending club night i am half reponsible for (but not at all repsonsible for if it's a bust) which will be taking place in the hogtown. is that what toronto's called: "hogtown"? i think i remember it being called that. but why hogs? i don't remember eating anymore bacon growing up then any other canadians. remember bacon? bacon was good, eh? i wonder how many degrees of separation kevin bacon is from actual bacon. but what was i talking about? oh yes, the night will be titled "how fucking romantic". that being taken from a magnetic fields song...well, you guessed it you cunning little bastards...it's a stephin merrit night! no, i'm not joking. it shall taketh place on the 13th of october at the rancho relaxo. all the good dancy songs by the MF and future bible heroes and any other crap we decide to play in between. and it's going to be when the weather will be getting nice and cold. no, wait, it's cold now. i had to wake up in the middle of the night to put on socks! socks! maybe it will be like august in october. oh, and it's my last weekend of being a teenager too! so tell your friends, tell your gramma, but don't tell your uncle henry because i heard he's sort of a jerk. yours etc. emily. ________________________________________________________________________ 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: yikes! it was a Toulon
by kmhyde＠wm.edu 21 Aug '00

21 Aug '00

i grabbed fate by the neck, wrestled it to the ground, gave it a small tranquilizer, and tagged it with an ear- borne radio transmitter. so at least i know when it's coming back to get me- the sneaky bastard. anyway, preface over, I quit my job that made me 'sinister-mute'. Now I am unemployed, but it makes no difference, as i am heading back to school in 4 days; and in addition to this, I'm now a staff writer for an up and coming comedy webzine- hopefully one which will clog the servers with more than it's share of horrible television references and scatology galore. but i kid my source of income. actually, i wanted to ask the help of the list. since we're launching 'hardcore' as my boss says, i'm supposed to 'tell everyone i know' about the site. well, i don't know you at all, but i figured it might be worth a shot. we start on the 1st of september, and if you like my posts, well...there'll be plenty of my articles on the site, if obscure literary references and 'oh so pretentious' language style is your jive thing. and if not, you can yell at me. i rather enjoy it actually. it's the count masoch in me. right- www.geistmag.com- nothing much to look at now, but hey! neither was lenin- all rotting in that casket, eww. so, if you feel like allowing me to eat, try it out once or twice. like eating mud. b&S- he [stuart] does say 'at least you know where to put it' in the one verse of seeing other people, right? very interesting. i can say that to my girlfriend...maybe i'll save it for the anniversary. glad to be back in the sunbeam, kevin +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Gimme gimme gimme it slowly baybee
by ian nicolson 21 Aug '00

21 Aug '00

If I was doing this properly I should be in bed just now, but I decided to post on a Monday morning solely because I can. You know, it's one of the great joys of unemployment (along with insomnia, soul-destroying boredom and general loss of self-respect) to be able to relax on a Sunday evening and not have that sickening 'shit, work/school/college/prison tomorrow' feeling. I mean, 'Songs of Praise' has never been so good... It's also quite fun to go into town of an afternoon, just to snigger at the office workers quickly munching down their sandwiches before heading back for four hours of drudgery. Because, of course, I do all sorts of exciting things instead, like, uh, wandering aimlessly. And they have money and I don't and I really feel like getting drunk without feeling guilty. For all you sexy Edinburgh Festival goers, future B+S illustrator and sometime novelist and artist Alasdair Gray will be appearing (in a puff of smoke, one would hope) at the book festival in Charlotte Square on Friday (25th) at 2.30pm to talk about his Book of Prefaces. You really should go, cause he's great fun. I went to see Edwin Morgan reading poetry there last week, just to pretend that I'm cultured and intelligent and stuff. And a reminder that the luverly Neil Ashford will be playing his haunting acoustic tunes at the Tron on Thursday at 7.30pm, which you really should go to too. Rod Stewart was always a twat in my book. I'm far too young to remember, but wasn't he a sorta Oasis of the early seventies? What a terrible thought. And all that 'cor blimey, me old mate, I'm Scotland's biggest fan'. 'Every beat of my heart', my arse! Mind you, he'd probably get a game these days... Some people (Americans, one would imagine) have been talking about elections. Being something of an ignorant sort, all I know about US politics is that the Republicans are evil and are represented by an elephant and the Demycrats are useless and have a thing about donkeys, although this is something my mum told me and I'm not sure whether to believe her. Do people vote solely on the basis of their preferred animal? Cause if they did you'd think they'd go for more dynamic or even cute animals. I think Tony Blair should adopt of fluffly little kitten for the Labour party over here - it'd be bound to pull the votes. Anyways, another fun filled day beckons, with all those troubling dillemmas, like 'go out or stay in?'. Gosh, it's not half exciting! luv and kisses ian n ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
