Sinister: Donaudampfschifffahrtsgesellschaftkapitän
by David Moore 28 Sep '00

Grüß' Gott, Thanks to nicholson ian for the Stuart quotes. I liked 'House music is as dead as dead. Most clubs are boring beyond belief. Try something different. Something meaningful! Get back to church! Afterwards you can take someone you fancy up the Necropolis.' best. I suppose Necropolis to be Glaswegian rhyming slang along the lines of Khyber or Gary Glitter, but what the hell does it rhyme with?? On the V-Twin single Stevie Jackson is referred to as Stevie Reverb. IMHO this is the only thing of interest about it whatsoever. But then this is a person on whom the whole business of remixing is lost. Except for The League Unlimited Orchestra's Love And Dancing, The Cure's Mixed Up & a Tortoise 12" I can't remember the name of right now. There was more but luckily for you I've forgotten it.

Sinister: Pina Coladas
by Halliday, Ian 28 Sep '00

28 Sep '00

What an extraordinary coincidence, for those who believe in such things. Just the other day I was singing Rupert Holmes' Escape song. I was surprised by how many people have it on Napster. And now a sinisterene writes about it (or at least uses it as a subject line). Of course, I mustn't say too much about pineapples or Honey will get mad at me. Once again, no B&S content from New Zealand. But my spell checker does want to replace "Napster" with "Nastier".

Hi, I'm new to the list but I've been a fan of B&S for a good few years now. I'm 17 and I'm taking A-level's in P.E. English Lit. and German (I think it's an ace language) in the summer. I live in the wonderful county of Essex but don't let that put you off, please! I'm a little nervous about joining so go easy on me! Speak to you all soon, (I hope!)

Sinister: do you like pina colada and getting caught in the rain?
by fiona 28 Sep '00

28 Sep '00

evenin campers, when i was at school, my mummy wouldn't let me learn german, she said it was a horrible language and i had to do latin instead. i'm quite pleased she did that, as learning latin has stood me n good stead for understanding more about english and is invaluable when answering questions on tv quiz shows. i do wonder about her sentiments though. today i'm feeling damp. i took it upon myself to try and make the 45 minute walk to uni, rather than getting the bus. it wasn't raining wheni set off, and it wasn't raining much when i got to the last stop i would allow myself to get the bus from. you see i don't like making short journeys on the bus, so even though i was getting really wet by the time i neared university i couldn't let my self get the bus for the end of the journey because i considered it just that bit too short. so now i am trying to dry off on the library, but i made the foolish mistake of wearing flared jeans, so the water has seeped quite far up my legs, i also wore flimsy trainers so my sock are soaked as well and it will be hours before i'm thoroughly dry. if it was possible to catch a cold in your feet and ankles then i'm quite sure i would. grr. my housemates and i are getting a washing machine tomorrow. yey for us. another thing for me to spend my hard earned student loan on. ooh look a lazy stewdent, umm yes, i am looking for a job, its just that i'm not looking very hard...... olympic update.... how great a name is 'erki nool'? he should of course be disqualified from the decathlon though, because brendan foster said so. did anyone see that british girl who does tai kwon do and is being funded by jackie chan? what they don't tell you though, is that she nearly couldn't go because the money he had promised her hadn't arrived with only a couple of weeks to go and the british olympic comittee people told her she couldn't use the money to fund her own campaign anyway, it had to be shared with the team. hmmm. i've just imagined what sinister would be like if everyone posted just to tell you about when they got caught in the rain. ooops. sorry. but wishing you love and irn-bru anyway, fiona. ooh, just remembered, if anyone wants to meet up with some of us kids who hang out in jeepsterchat in manchester. saturday 30th 9pm fab cafe. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: See the mess I'm in tonight - Godspeed You Black Emperor in Toronto
by Jean-Pierre Champagne 28 Sep '00

Hi all, I'm sorry to use the list for a self-serving purpose, but I'm trying to find a couple of tickets for the GYBE show this week in Toronto. Everything dried up terribly fast for the show and it would truly make my day to snag a pair of tix. Can anyone out there help me out? By the way (in the vein of GYBE): I've seen mention of Do Make Say Think on the list before, but has anyone heard kc accidental? Absolutely exquisite. I can't possibly recommend them enough. AND MORE for those in Toronto: If you want to see what is potentially the best act around town right now, you MUST go see Hawksley Workman at Lee's next Saturday. Just go and see him. Many thanks in advance for any help that is out there.

Sinister: Hark! Louder-louder-louder!
by John Maxwell 28 Sep '00

Hey, It hasn't been a very good week for me at all. My girlfriend dumped me *sob*. We were bitching last night, coz she dumped me the night b4.Shite. Homework's become even worse. I spent a record 4hours doing homework last night. Totally braindead. It pays off though (hopefully) Wot else do I say? I don't speek german, I take higher french. Which isn't quite as hard as i expected it to be. I put out a spider last night. Small ones don't bother me, it's the BIG ones that I don't seem to get on with. *shudder* I was so chuffed afetr I put it out. I got it in a glass and covered it with paper, then threw it outside. Hope I didn't hurt the wee (big) thing.... I've never got any time to think about my band anymore. We're rubbish anyway, so I think it's best to postpone any plans for us. I want to go down to glasgow in the october hols. But i is skint. Is anyone else going to see AC/DC in december in glasgow? I'm going. My friend dragged me. £20!!!! that would get me twenty bags of Haribo!!! I'm going to have to go. I've spent too long trying to catch up with all these posts.

Eyup duck, Things are defintely looking up this week. Firstly, either my old list crush has fallen for me all over again, or else I have a brand new one. Either way, mwah and stuff :o) Other good things, I got the new Add N To (X) album. Free. Like, a promo. All I had to do was write a review for it, and really... how hard is that. I had to fight for it mind, but still. It rules. What else? Oh yeah I'm going to an indie night with ol' Lamo (as only John Peel really calls him) DJing in, oh, about an hour and a half. And I'm *still* not doing any work. Bad things... phones aren't connected in my flat yet, so I have to do email in this manky IT centre, with lots of horrid students. Hang on, there's some flaw in my logic there... I'd really like to write more, but I really can't because a) I've ran out of things to say b) I have to write important work related emails So... Byebye Love Mike/MrSmiley :o) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

hello there everyone so we want to have a painting comp with me and kado as the judges, do we? k, we'd better have a few rules then... 1. the subject is "belle and sebastian on top of the pops" this can be interpreted as you see fit. 2. although it's called a painting competition, all entries must be produced using electronic means only (although scanning stuff in, then fiddling about with it is fine) 3. all entries should be sent to carsmilesteve(a)yahoo.com. Please, by all things godly, DO NOT send them to the list or honey will remove my head with a large rusty saw of some description. 4. entries should try to be less than 500k pleeeeeeeease 5. entries will be displayed in a little gallery which will probably be at something like www.geocities.com/carsmilesteve/gallery probably (don't go there yet, i'm making this up as i go along) 6. judges decision is relatively final, all correspondence will be read and chuckled at. 7. the winner will receive 1 (one) red rose as seen on TOTP (as long as honey hasn't sat on it/eaten it/had it nicked by the hard kids at work). 8. there will be no cash alternatives. a list of winner will be available on request. Closing date will be when we've got enough entries not to look too embarrassing, or when something really FAB comes in. In other news, someone mentioned a colemanball relating to the women's weightlifting and attributed it to DC, but if i'm not mistaken it's David *Vine* who has been commenting on people's snatches for most of the week (and their clean and "jerks"). In more clothes-lying-on-the-floor-in-oxford news, I saw a whole pile of clothes just lying around rather incongruously yesterday. I have now decided that this *is* art, at least in my head, which i think makes me an artist, like what that damien hirst is, probably, innit :) So, if anyone else sees random clothes on the street, I made that art. someone else mentioned orm and cheep, possibly the tweeest cartoon ever made with the possible exception of bump...<steve feels his own hands pulling away from the keyboard and moving to his neck to strangle himself>...no....no....must...talk..about..kids..tv.........moooooreurrrgggghhhhh... xoxo The Late CarsmileSteve +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
