ok im finally posting not really because ive anything particular to say but more because im bored off my ass in college and all my friends have decided that a 9 o clock lecture just wasnt up to the allure of sleeping in and then getting up to watch jerry springer. B&S wise i only know two people on campus who are even remotely interested.I use term "know" loosely because one of them is only a girl i have seen from afar sporting a b&s t-shirt and really cool hair thats half red and spirals out of control at the back in kind of a wheel of spikes.so if she is a Sinisterine you know who you are (oh sometimes its yellow at the back)and i own up to throwing lustful glances in your direction. ive been lurking here for quite a while now,my reason is that idiot i am i created a special email account for sinister but spelt the name raskolnikoff wrong.(for those who arent aware he is the murderous protaganist in "crime and punishment" )once out of the nursery i knew i had to be inventive to stay out but change my email address.so here i am correct spelling and out of the nursery. I have been a belle and sebastian fan since around 96 and was introduced by a person who has sadly passed on music wise and wears a pin stripe suit to his banker job.He was much more fun when he was a scruffy student.actually his good friend euan will probably read this and tell him. Anyway my name is Richard and i live in cork in ireland,im really into all sorts of music from godseed you black emperor! to miles davis.which i realise is a bit of a leap.Im an eternal student,im doing a computer science degree (yuk) at the moment but im going to go and do english and philosophy when im finished.im a simple soul really all i want to do is travel and read and write. of which i do a lot .If there are any sinisterines in my lovely local please get in touch i know there must be because whenever i go into my favouite cafe all i have to do is work belle and sebastian loudly into my conversation and the girl that works there puts them on the stereo.ive spoken to her and she says lots of people do the same.kind of a covert request show.Its a scruffy little bohemian cafe that has silver balls hanging from the ceiling,they call it Java joes. youve all been real nice thank you for your attention, richard Visit http://www.oceanfree.net to get your free e-mail account and use our unique Irish Internet directory +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Fairy Tailed in New York
by Peter Miller 19 Jan '01

19 Jan '01

I can't believe Stuart spunked up all over Jenowl's tent as well! He wants to be careful - look what happened to Papercuts pin-up Boris Becker. I'm really stuck for ideas for this Sillistrations competition... The Pinefox, did you go and see that Foxgloves photo in New York? Were there any stragglers from the lumberjack community? Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Dave and Charles (on the other side) have both enquired about my relationship with Petula "Kipper" Clark. Well my dad, Daddy Rollin' Stone, had Pet Clark records, so they're about as familiar as pooing your pants. More impressively, I'VE SEEN PETULA CLARK LIVE! Albeit starring as Maria von Trapp in the West End production of The Sound of Music. I must have been at a funny age because I distinctly rmemeber having my opera glasses trained on the eldest daughter, who had big knockers and a nightie on. But no, I'm not a big Petula Clark fan, in fact I'm alarmed by the vastness of her back catalogue CD reissue programme. I can sum up what I have against Petula Clark in two words: TONY and HATCH. Also, I've always thought B&S were more of a Lulu group. Discuss. Following Youn's suggestion that I show Cameron Crowe a thing or two, I looked him up and found the following: "this is a coming-of-age tale that owes its tangible authenticty to Crowe's real-life experiences as a teenage reporter who toured with the legendary Led Zeppelin." Rock on! Yesterday I heard "Legal Man" in IKEA, a shop where they give you free pencils. But it wasn't the best modern soul classic on offer, we had Dexy's Midnight Runners and The Korgis as well. The Korgis must be Barcelona's national anthem, I've heard it loads of times here. It has stopped raining.

Sinister: My son, she'll only drive it away
by Lucy Alder 19 Jan '01

19 Jan '01

Over two nights we listened to sixty-nine songs. Some were old favourites that hung in the air like the family wash on a breezy day. The wallflowers of the album pulled their gladrags from the wardrobe, put on a bit of slap and sparkled. Laughter at lyrics took me by surprised and left me feeling slightly puzzled, like friends laughing at Grandad's favourite joke. I left it until the new year to buy tickets, but in the end I'm glad I couldn't go when I'd wanted to. Spending Saturday Night with the Magnetic Fields seems somehow incongrous. Occasional bouts of nerves, the odd mistiming between singer and musician, a giant Portugese lemon and away on the District Line for work the next morning. Perfect. Well, the people on this list are no strangers to smut, but it looks like Starry has outstripped us all with her particular brand of filth. Well done my dear. My bra is meagre in comparison to Isobel's headscarf. I am tempted to reveal the identities of the listees who confessed their single-handed approach to brassiere removal and those who stuck up for the fumblers of this world but... well, that would be wicked. Your blushes are spared, my lovelies. I will, however, divulge that one gentleman sent me detailed instructions on How It's Done and it appears that in general, the list prefers doing it with one hand rather than two. Did you see there's going to be an All Tomorrow's Parties in the USofA? Click on this http://www.alltomorrowsparties.co.uk and have a look at the Future Events bit. Juicy Lucy ps. Nick, sweetie, I'm worried about what you've been doing to our freezer. Electrical appliances and dripping water in close proximity could do you no end of damage. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!

Sinister: hiding in the tall grass, waiting
by Greg Hatmaker 19 Jan '01

19 Jan '01

She knew I liked stories. I took a rest from telling them and stopped to listen a bit. I feel old here. And she, well, she is just ancient in comparison. But as one of you noticed, she looks young for her age (a curious compliment). She could Mrs. Robinson any of you boys (if only any of you were so lucky). "Heroin and rain," she said, "grey, lovely rain." I remember. The land here remembers. Its tongue hangs like a dry axolotl. I drive past the fire station every day and am reminded that I live here at my own "moderate", now turned into a "severe" risk. Of course, she hoped that I would like Belle and Sebastian. In her enthusiasm, however... And so I joined this list without ever hearing a single B&S tune. The important thing to her, of course, was to share...and that regardless of any eventuality, I would be here. And so here I am (playing with matches at my own "severe" risk). She had a few things to go on, though. It wasn't a blind shot in the dark. When she was sending me snippets of your stories and of your thoughts, she knew that she had scored hits with me before...first with her poems and the way she cast her eyes downwards to a black page with grey letters and ghostly x-rayed flowers, the simplicity, elegance, charmteaseandbite of her web-self, then later with Lush, The Cocteau Twins, and Cinerama...and of course, we already shared The Church with each other (new album out April 24th, After Everything, buy it). Oh, and if any of you recognize me from the other list--I am not a refugee, and I am sorry to have followed you here. But you see, it wasn't you I followed. Cinerama was close, but it was no guarantee. So, she folded her hands and waited. No, she didn't. She took straightaway to the stores and shops in search of something to send me and settled on Tigermilk. The days passed and I was closer to being let out of the nursery. I wondered what I would say to all of you. There was a certain wickedness to my thoughts, thinking about how I'd shrug my shoulders and say, "B&S? Never heard 'em. Can I still play in your reindeer games?" I wondered if Honey would stuff me back into my cheap box. My xmas present arrived just a few days before Honey let me out. I heard the first song and thought of Don McLean and American Pie. I liked it. I liked the rest of Tigermilk, especially any songs with the guy/girl vox. Still have no idea what any of the words are. Right now I'm working on getting down all the strum and the la la la. It's catchy. I can always go to her website and keep clicking away at her random lyric generator, memorize, then cut and paste the disparate words with all the la la la I'm storing away in the secret places of my head. At my convenience, I'll crack open Boy with the Arab Strap. Let me absorb Tigermilk first, however, especially before sending all your suggestions. Don't rush me. There's too much good stuff out there for me to be exclusive...much in the same way some would think of boys, others with girls. What follows has nothing to do with anything. Doesn't mean you can just ignore it though. pictures have been developed. send you a selection and otherthings tomorrow, i will. be good to my turtle as he seems to be lost under your futon, perhaps? you will send to florida should you find? -me- g! -------------------------------- another (cheap) box http://members.tripod.com/g_hat/ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Acting as grand dillmeister........
by Jason McKinnon 19 Jan '01

19 Jan '01

Welly, well, well....Hidey Ho's to all the Sinistraad (a name which i think adds more of a "legion of doom" quality to the list.) Having been being a little slow on posting these days because of: 1)Quitting smoking. 2)HTML email....(curse the day it was invented!) 3)Getting a new job. I figure I should just blather on about anything just as long as I post. Kinda like when you visit your least favorite aunt out of pity. Actually, the last couple of weeks have been the most boring days I have ever had. I cannot believe that after all these years of malfeasance I will die of perceived boredom. Time to readjust. Turning 26...(yeah, you may be familiar) has been sneaking up on me all my life....so slowly that I've barely noticed. But not having to struggle or not being challenged has taken some wind out of my sails. I have never been good at "happy". In the spirit of the dual nature of [Sin]ister, I give you two offerings: 1) Fuck me gently with a chainsaw. You might as well with your torture-chamber-deathrock macabre. You play my organs in minor keys and blow my pipes in mournful tunes while slamming fists pound on my chest playing counterpoint with the headboard. Your voice is ink-dark, underwater black reaching me slowly. Melodic moans stretch over me like a tight sheet of satin. Sing sirenlike and I'll come. 2) In flames, I land from brimstone-falling ecstasy for unknown power, tossed from open-mouthed, white flecked skies. I gaped chasmlike at the melodiously ringing celestial harmonic river of electrowaves. And in that time, I saw the center of the consonant note. Clear as crystal rang my soul at the rightness of this sensory spectacle. Velvet. Velvet feel on my couch of comfort. For once everything equal, all forces balanced. Womb of solace.....warm place, the flannel....the lace and powder and browns and greens and soft and softly lit. A space where candles are flaming always and slow mist falls over green hills. Rocks sit...still storytelling silence. Screaming the mossy call of one lone note ringing in my dazed consciousness. The Pickle Prince P.S. Here's a bonus. Everyman = EM ThePicklePrince = PP EM: Are you crazy? PP: Indeed! But do not reject these teachings as false because I am crazy. The reason that I am crazy is because they are true. EM: What IS true? PP: Everything is true. EM: Even false things. PP: Even false things are true. EM: How can that be? PP: I don't know, man. I didn't do it! EM: Why do you deal with so many negatives? PP: To dissolve them. EM: Will you develop that point? PP: No EM: Is there an essential meaning behind all this? PP: There is a Zen story about a student who asked a Master to explain the meaning of Buddhism. The Master's reply was "3 pounds of Flax". EM: Is that your answer to my question? PP: No, of course not. That is just illustrative. The answer to your question is FIVE TONS OF OF FLAX! _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: B+S content, how to solve your student loan debts, and starsigns
by idleberry 18 Jan '01

18 Jan '01

Hi all, Okay. A few things to say. I know how to write a crappy novel, that will sell millions to the readership of Cosmopolitan. How? Heres the thing: Heroine. Give her a cool name. Bryony, or Lise, or um... *thinks* Alexandra, or something like that. Read Cosmo's contributor/Editor/make up artist name thing (where it says who does what in order of rank and good looks out of ten, and how to subscribe to a magazine that tells you you need to improve cos he won't stay unless you do X, Y, and Z! ) for ideas for names. (This instantly guarantees you a review if you use a name that a member of their staff is called). Heroine is slightly dotty, hates her current job (works in something like PR, journalism, publishing, marketing, Law), mid way through book goes for a career change or at least job interviews. Some of which, she mucks up in the most outrageous fashion. If you're stuck for ideas, read any womans mag in the section where they print embarrassing true stories. (Not as good as the ones in the mens mags, but there you go. VPLs, lipstick on teeth, that sort of drivel) She either begins the novel in a bad relationship, and gets dumped for some young hot thing, or she is single and desperate. Both ideally. She also has lots of baths, shops in Whistles, and posh London places like that, but no chanel for her, please, shes a modern girl, and she needs to shop expensively, but realistically. So anything designery that Kate Moss would model is out of the Question. But no Topshop or River Island or Miss Selfridge. Constantly wishes she was 20 again. Clever, but reads glossy mags. She is in her late twenties, early thirties. Has a biological timebomb for getting married, but whines she never meets he right one. Is up to her eyeballs in overdraft and expenses. Her flat is quite messy. She can't afford the things she really wants. Gets fed up listening to posh pals afford the things she wants. Part way through, she appears on Daytime TV. Or the News. Or Crimewatch UK. Hero: successful business slick sexy man, head of his own company preferably. PR, communications, Law, whatever. It has to sound cool. And give him a good name. Bob or Dave won't do. (sorry to any Bob's and Daves, but its the way of the world.) He meets the heroine. They argue about things fiercely (setting up for explosive fireworks in bed, y'see) she does silly things in front of him (again, read embarrassing true life stories ) like she gets chatted up by some dipstick, or her knickers fall down, or both at the same time, all must be set in formal locations: offices, court rooms, restaurants, that sort of thing. He gives her various looks of confusion and "eh?!" sort of thing. She thinks for a while he fancies her, she thinks he doesn't, she thinks he fancies her again, she hates him, they shag. Her pals: one MUST be infinately prettier than anyone ever. Long legs, nice chest that sort of thing. Gods gift to blokes. Another must be all fiery and sparky and stuff and not ashamed to speak her mind, til half way through the book, she lets down her strong "men! Pah!" exterior to reveal she trully wants to settle down and have babies, shes showing her sensitive side. One pal must be extremely rich. And she has lots of extremely rich pals too, and they go pony riding, and to the gym, and on holiday with ooh... um.... which ever celebrity couple are still together when you write this. And they all go out occasionally with heroine and heroine gets drunk with them and bored. A couple of Duds: they must be either not particularly attractive or anything. Call them Bob and Dave if you must. She will go on the odd date with them. One shall brag about doing it with her (lie? optional. Probably a lie though.)the other is rich but boring. She tries hard to like them, but she can't bring herself to do it. Parents: Mum is mad, extravagant, OTT, watches too much Ricki Lake and Oprah and gets reality and TV mixed up. Dad likes pottering in the garden. Mum asks daughter when shes going to settle down, and tries to help in bizarre ways. And bang them all together, with a happy ending. Don't forget, that the hero has to perhaps educateher into being a little more reserved somehow, in what ever area shes not reserved enough in. Its a fast track success to millions. You are the NEW Helen Fielding. On the other hand, The Sunday times says that Get-Rich-Quick schemes are not good this year (horoscope thing) i.e. that whole dotcom millionaire thing is going to go down again. No gold there,apparently. Oh, and this year its fashionable to be a Scorpio or Pisces. (I don't understand where they get the logic to decide what starsign is fashionable!!) MOVING SWIFTLY ON...CONTENT THING... Oh, B+S were a question on the Big Breakfast this morning. You'll guess who, so I won't both saying "Guess who!! You'll never guess!". Yes, it was Faye from Steps. "Which Scottish indie band beat you at the 1999 Brit Awards for best newcomers?". I would have rephrased that. "Which band from Scotland, deservedly whipped your manufactured shiny plastic arses into place with the help of their computer literate fans, unlike yours who aren't old enough to read, to win the 1999 Brit Awards?" You agree? of course you do. (Mind reading is a speciality right now.) I have a headache now, cos I can read all your minds. And yes, I know exactly what one Sinisterian from Manchester is planning to do with that cucumber right now, and it isn't pretty. So I'm off to let you digest this mess.

Sinister: Is You Is Or Is You Aint
by David Moore 18 Jan '01

18 Jan '01

Hi All, FAQin Ell, she's back! Nice to see Honey out & about again, & looking so lovely as well, decked out like a Christmas tree. Perhaps this might be an opportune moment to mention that the 5th to the 11th of February is National Honey Week, organised by the Honey Association. There will be lots of activities to promote honey & highlight its versatility. It has antiseptic properties, historically was used as a wound dressing & to heal burns & cuts & is even good for face packs: that's right, get some Honey on your face right now! Belle and Sebastian bass player for gigs now Stuart David's gone? We've done this before, haven't we? (Deep breath) Stuart/Isobel/Chris/Neil have all been seen playing bass on stage before now. I've been listening to that Michael Shelley 7" & like it. He has an attractively croaky voice & the songs are OK, with a slightly Fannies feel. "Baby's In A Bad Mood" is the better side: reminds me of Brinsley Schwarz/Nick Lowe with Wee Chris' warm swelling organ well to the fore. "Don't" sees Stevie Reverb living up to his name with loads of big Duane Eddy geetar, & with Chris on echo-ey electric piano. I know that Edna W., Mrs mentioned that Future Pilot aka single ages ago but I've only just got around to listening to it. Restful, tinkly sound, angelic vocals (of course) but this time with ethnically authentic slurring. Are any other band members playing on this track? Sounds like Sarah on violin to me, but maybe that's just fanciful. Good to see The Pinefox safe on the right side of the Atlantic again. Are you going to write a song about entertaining the NYC gliterati to dinner at the Gotham Grill? You said you had a Nigerian Math(s) teacher who was in love with his work. My German teacher didn't stay so true & is now one of the 28 cross bench hereditary peers who were elected to stay in the House of Lords Peter "Quotation Marks" Miller: I didn't know you loved blonde singers with beauty spots having a penchant for 60's tunes. Nick, try tapping the ice gently with a wooden steak (or vegeburger) mallet. Re the Lowfly spam: it was really pissing me off too. I sent a few polite messages asking for no more to be sent, but to no effect. Then I sent messages of increasing rudeness (& with more & more exclamation marks) & haven't had any for a while.

Re: Sinister: The gnarl under my thigh is a kind of irregular rhumboid shape, further complicated by a slight ridge heading left to right, although it is possible that this last observation is not unconnected to the back pocket of the jeans I am wearing.

And Daniella the Coke hoovering slattern is without septum. The non-existence of this membrane is in anyone's book TOO SMALL. Non? Just a thought.
