Sinister: Pictures and Pianos Stored in Locked Rooms
by Stephen Hewitt 02 Aug '00

02 Aug '00

ello Just a quick one today, as I'm off to ox to look at another flat <groan>, but i thought i'd tell you all about my new picture gallery featuring pics from 2000 troubled teenagers and the picnic beforehand. They're at: http://www.geocities.com/carsmilesteve/2000tt/2000TTphotos.htm and it's a lovely shade of green and the photos are actually a half decent size this time, rather than HUUUGE (apols if you get a funny script error on the front page, i was getting it at home, but i'm not now...). also if you want a bit of a giggle, go and look at this: http://www.geocities.com/carsmilesteve/silly.jpg and obviously, if any of you are in Cheltenham on Saturday, you can pop along... aren't you glad you don't live in PF's head, I mean it's lovely popping in every now and again, but that's what it's like for him all the time!! (I HEART you PineFox). did anybody else notice that i'd suddenly become capitalised? I've been "stephen hewitt" for the past year and a half, and now I'm "Stephen Hewitt", funny that... anyway, my computer needs to be taken away to get fixed now, so I'd better go. xoxo CarsmileSteve oh, Reading-heading-types, join http://www.egroups.com/group/sinireading NOW, innit, let's see if we can have a bigger meetup than at Glasto +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: pop titans at the beginning of time
by gogron 02 Aug '00

02 Aug '00

With reference to an article in last week's *New Scientist* magazine, and a posting the other day suggesting the implications of the word 'sinister', I append the following: MAGNETIC FIELDS FROM SPACE MAY HAVE PUSHED LIFE TO THE LEFT Molecules are generally to be found in both 'left-handed'(sinister) or 'right-handed'(dexter) forms. However, all life on earth uses only 'sinister' amino acid molecules to make its proteins... The effect of 'handing' molecules was formerly thought to be caused by polarized light, but this type of light is extremely rare in the universe. Recently, some guys in a lab in France found that a similar effect to that of polarized light could be obtained by using unpolarized light in a magnetic field. Earth's magnetic fields aren't very strong, but the presence of extra-terrestrial magnetic fields around the same time as life was forming on earth may be the cause behind the 'sinister' basis of life on earth. Now, I don't want to jump to conclusions, but I reckon the above constitutes a fair whack at a new cosmology, with the key players currently represented by cool pop we know and love, bringing us together in happy harmony... Now, let us continue with the 60th Love Song, in your sleeve notes at page... hehe Gordon +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: you all wanna meet me...
by idle berry 02 Aug '00

02 Aug '00

..you just don't know it yet. Come on, anyone else wanna meet up in Embra on Thursday? You know you do, baby.... Well, failing that, I am going to see Eska/Silver Pill/ Life without Buildings at the Attic in Embra on Saturday as part of the Planet Pop part of the Embra Festival. Tickets cost �4 and are available from Fopp and Avalanche and possibly some other record shops as well. You know how these pesky promoters work. Oh, and just to make you dribble, Monica Queen is also playing Planet Pop, on the 27th, at the Venue and there will be B+S DJ's Richard Colburn and Chris Geddes on Monday 28th, for a mere �4 at Gaia (the old Jaffa Cake... ach, those were the days). Unfortunately, your darling berry shaped idle creature (moi) shall not be around for that and is kicking herself over it. And possibly might kick her boyfriend for living so far away. And whinge at him a bit. So I'm hoping for a jolly good shag to supplement those gigs I am missing. Hmmm.

Sinister: Anyone fancy France?
by The Duke of Danborough 02 Aug '00

02 Aug '00

I have the good fortune to find myself bumming around France/Europe? next week. I could obviously sit in a lovely sun-drenched campsite for a bit, but it would seem a shame to waste my much earned escape from work. I don't suppose anybody fancys a sly pint in a Parisian Caf do they? I can assure that I am actually far more entertaining in real life than my e-prose (- is that a new one?) Do any funky French Peeps now any wholesome and improving activitys one could indulge oneself in about town? B+S Content bit, shamefacedly I have only just bought FYHCYWLAP yesterday and am still waiting for it to reach my computer. But! I do have my reasons; I read a review somewhere or other (no doubt some evil broadsheet newspaper) that tried to justify the albums pantsness (in their opinion) saying they were trying to dissappear from current vogue. But also I haven't got that much money and this is "my special treat to myself" - I love that to quote a Radio 4 ad Maybe see you in the sun?

Sinister: I know it's a cliche, but I know it's a cliche
by Geoff 02 Aug '00

02 Aug '00

What has happened to Bergerac? When it was first on TV, Nettles was the coolest customer around. For a while during the late eighties, Jersey was the new black. Me and my family actually went on a pilgrimage there to check out all the famous scenery. I think it would be fair to say Bergerac was the most doogy thing around, the non-thinking man's Morse. At least that is what I thought... Now, 10 years later the programme has actually aged 40, some sort of twin paradox I think. Big John is now married to that old Italian bird out of Eastenders, the stories are worse than Big Brother, and corrupt business man Charlie Hungerford looks like he should be on a Worther's Original Advert. I mean, the other day Polly from Fawlty Towers was married to Michael Gambon! My boyhood dreams have been destroyed. The Likely Lads has aged less. It's very chicken chicken. If Bergerac is the downside of being on the dole, the upside is definitely Cricket. I feel sorry for any of you who will be earning money instead of watching the next thrilling instalment of England vs West Indies. I wouldn't swap with you for the world. Why don't Belle and Sebastian release Loneliness of a Middle Distance Runner to coincide with the Olympic Games? They could include Steve Cram singing Stars of Track and Field and then maybe Michael Johnson could dedicate his 400m gold medal to Photo Jenny, 'They've got the drugs I could use, but then I don't need any'. This cat has started walking into our house, strutting up and down the kitchen like he owns the joint. I gave him a saucer of milk and some batter. He hasn't started sitting on our sofa yet, but I wouldn't be surprised it he did soon. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: If Belle and Sebastian were Japanese and 14 year old girls...
by Rob Lorenson 01 Aug '00

... Their name would be "Otome Pasuta." Yup, that's right. I was watching "Music Express," which is a J-pop show, and this group comes on, and their music sounded like something B & S would do, only if they got sex & age changes and started singing in Japanese. ========================================================= "Your hopes, your dreams, your paradise Heroes, idols cracked like ice" -- Joy Division, "Auto-Suggestion" "Just for one moment, thought I'd found my way Destiny unfolded, I watched it slip away...

Sinister: The boy with the 'boy with the arab strap' arab strap
by Scruffy L P 01 Aug '00

01 Aug '00

Hello. I've been talking with a freind of mine and we've decided to go into business making embroidered arab straps. The first will feature our interpretation of the cover of the Belle and sebastian album. Anyone want one? In terms of price, I'll except any offers. If anyone wants any specialized ones, I'll do my best. I'm hoping to replace the upsidedown badges :-) Louis "not so much a lurker as too lazy to keep up with all his mail" PS, can anyone think of a way of decorating cock-rings? Pps I hope that the penultimate word in the above sentance doesn't count towards the body parts pictures. Ppps, if anyone can give any hints or instructions about embroidery that would be good too. -- If your cc: list is regularly longer than the actual content of your message, you're probably going to Hell. -From an email about circulars 0161 256 0712 (MCR) 020 8540 2215 (W'Don) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Re: Sinister: Loneliness MP3
by Darren Savage 01 Aug '00

01 Aug '00

Wow, I can't thank David enough for this; I absolutely adore this song and he's right it's a fab version, I've been playing it at everyone all day and I feel dead happy. Now then, I'm trying to put a group together to play in a charity battle of the bands competition in October. It's going to be somewhere in London and I though it would be ace if any of you fanced joining in and playing decent songs, rather than the usual compromised set list of obvious crowd pleasers. We need to have 50% of the group working in the media but the rest can be friends. So far we have a very average guitar player(me), a really good drummer, a keyboard person, another rhythm guitarist and that's it. Apart from vocals and bass, we really need someone's who is actually good on the guitar and some strings and horns, or at least a trumpet player would be nice. To qualify for the final we need to play a 20 minute set to someone form NAB's (the charity), which must include an original composition. If anyone can help out, either fancy a go playing or writing or whatever then please mail me.

Sinister: the ever decaying sense of being
by n|ck g 01 Aug '00

01 Aug '00

i'm not quite sure why i am writing this. for i know none of you and, in fact, don't even live on the same continent as most of you, but still, because of my own lack of friends, i feel the need to just be heard. yesterday i went to the doctor's after delaying for about a month. they performed hours of tests and sent me home to sit by myself engulfed in fear. they don't know if what they found is cancer or just an abnomality within the limits of normality. since i am only 21 this is quite surreal and frightning for me. this brings to mind many questions about my own life and those around me. what is it at the end of our lives that we will want to look back on and appreciate. i know that it won't be material possessions. nor will it be how much money we made. instead i think that it will be what we have experienced and seen. possibly the question of happiness will come into play. how then does one go about obtaining happiness? if one was so inclined how would they go about becoming this way and maintaining this state of mind? obviously no one can answer these questions but our selves. i just thought that i might make at least one person re-evaluate their life. i have been. i have come to learn that nothing in this world means shit if it doesn't mean anything to you. everyone knows that reality is realitive. i may not be living my life to the fullest but i can say that i am trying, which is more than most on this earth can say. hope that i might have made some of you think and possibly brighten your day for doing so. nw ________________________________________________________________________ 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.
