Sinister: Clippity clappity caly caloo, The best part of friendship is you...
by JENOWL22＠aol.com 16 Jan '01

16 Jan '01

Hewwo, Well, I've had an ok week. When I was very small I used to stay awake till late in the dark in bed, and then I wuld gather all my dolls round me and we would have a picnic from food I'd saved, and I would pretend we were hiding out in the blackest cave from baddies, and we were eating our supplies at midnight, and bringing magic and laughter to the darkness and coldness, and playing games and telling little stories to keep our spirits up. I couldn't sleep last night, and I had the idea that I would do that again. So I did. My company was: Big Rainbow Brite, Little Rainbow Brite, Little Patty O'Green from Rainbow Brite, Rainbow Brite's Horse Starlite , a wee pink haired doll called Rosie, a wee black haired doll called Patch, a dog called scruffy, two owls and a Teddy bear. This is all the toys that live in my bed now. There ued to be so much more. Still, I suppose a small gathering is better than nothing. And we hid, and we eat a packet of salt and vinager crisps, two mini cheese things, and a carton of ribena. It was grate fun. Today was ace, though. I managed to avoid doing any work at all in school (though we got into big trouble in history for laughing during the nazi video, and then re-enacting the holocaust with Polly Pockets), then I dogged after-school revision and went to the town centre after school instead with Debs the Blonde . We bought bubbles that you blow, from stationary box, and blew them in the shopping centre and pretended it was magic to cheer people up, until the cleaner lady started moaning that we'd make people slip, so instead we mooched off the the More Store (which sells cheap toys). So we bought an Etcha-sketch each, and an indian Bow and Arrow and Fake Bendy Plastic Indiana Jonesy Knife, and a packet of silver party eye-mask things (which was a bargian 10p) and (because there was a cheap valentines day display) we bought each other a single red rose, because it was cheesy, and pretended to be really surprised when we gave it to each other. So we galloped about the shopping centre, firing plastic arrows at old people and getting another bollocking from the cleaning lady. When we went on the bus, we decided to only communicate using the Etcha-Sketch boards (which didn't work very well). So she kept writing "Ah ya big virgin witch" and I wrote back "At least I didn't lose my virginity when I was 12 to a 20 year old" and it went on like that. But it was fun. And when we got off the bus, we both wrote "Thank you mr bus driver" on them and showed it to him as we were getting off. And she blew up a Mr Men rubber ring that she also bought and put in on round her and under her jacket so she looked deformed, and then said she was going to tell her gran she was stung by a bee. But it would have to have been a bluddy massive bee. And when I got home I discovered that I'd won the Ebay bid I made (and it was my first ever bid) for the Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealers movie and it plays on UK videos and everything, and I'm so excited now, because I wanted to see it so badly when I was little and I never got to, and now I can, and I'm completely obsessed with rainbow brite. I even made little home-made badges for my school bag. The hard kids ripped them off today when I wore them, but I was cunning. I picked up the trampled remains and spent all my break cleaning them and re-enforcing them with selotape. Another thing I was not so pleased to discover though, was that the Poetry Parrot had got into my cupboard and shat all down my Carebears wallpaper. It was only metaphorical shite, because i would have really cracked up if it had been real shite, but I gave it some magical cake, and decided that I'd better post a poem. Everyone so far has done fairly deep, meaningfull things. So I think I'll bring some light relief. The Being Disaproved Of Game - By Someone I don't know Make being disaproved of your hobby Make being disapproved of your aim Devise new ways of scoring points In the being disapproved of game! Let them disapprove in their dozens Let them disapprove in their hords You'll find that being disapproved of Build character,bring rewards Just like any form of striving Don't be arrogant; don't coast On your high disapproval rating Try to be disapproved of the most. At this point ; if it's useful Draw a pie-chart or a graph. Show it to someone who disapproves When they disapprove just laugh Count the emotions you provoke: Anger,Suspicion,Shock One point for each of these and 2 for every boat you rock Savour the thrill of risk without the fear of getting caught Whether they sulk or scream or pout Enjoy your new found sport Meanwhile all those who disapprove While you are having fun Won't even know your game exsists So tell yourself you've won! That was it. I think it's a very good poem. Ooh, but do I now have to send the parrot on to someone? Well, I will teach it to say "You cannot handle a lightsabre you wuss" then I will send it on to the lovely (but useless Jedi) Ian Hatcher., who participated in my midnight picnic over the phone. I didn't know Struan and Bel were taking a walk through the magical fairy meadows together (if you know what I mean. Which you probably don't, since it's a euphamism I only use cause I made it up. It means getting down and dirty.). I always thought he was like the Jem to her Scout. That's shattered my whole world now. But, as I have decided to use my Etcha-Sketch for sinister quote of the day, it has become the one about Isobel and her headscarves and her hair suffering a similar fate to my tent the time I went camping with the pyros. I must go now, I've made this far too long and boring already.

Sinister: Mint and Lime and Rum - RUN!
by Sarah Clarke 16 Jan '01

16 Jan '01

Hiya! Ooh ho ho ho you little fools. Gone are the days of regular Jeepster updates of whats happening to our favourite bands, what the songs they are currently recording RIGHT NOW! RIGHT NOW AS WE SPEAK AND OUR STOMACHS DIGEST SUSHI! and what colour Stuart M has dyed his hair... when they finally announce a tour I expect to hear about it from my boloney sandwich. I'm going to turn into a jewist I think I'm not sure why but I have really big cravings for raw meat and onions. Either thats my true spirituality coming out, I'm pregnant, or I am in fact in a Raymond Chandler novel. America. The 1920s. Noo Yoik. A detective novel. Its the place to be. Does anyone want to start a Speakeasy with me? For short we'll call it "the speak". Oohh yeah and we can have gangster (not gangsta!) names! Carsmile can be um... urr... well our names will be given to us soon enough from da underground. I'm fed up of 2001 already. I'd like to dress entirely in the style of the 1920s, however the corsets aren't easily avaliable. My friend bought a gold plated or something corset. She looks a tit. And is that because THEY STAND OUT MILES? I think it might just be so. Isobel Campbell had a shag with Stuart Murdoch! Urrgh! Lets all write it on toilets all over the nation! I knew that headscarf must have had a secret dirty reason. Was it to hide Stuarts semen after he wanked in her hair? That was disgusting wasn't it!!! OR was it used as a blindfold in bondage session? Oh bondage! Up yours! Can I just have a nice cup of tea and forget I ever said that now please? I've been listening to the Apples in Stereo lots! They're Gu(umlaut)t! Do you lot sometimes indulge in that pass-time too? Whilst reading Cryptonomicon and playing Solitaire on your laptop that doesn't have a net connection or cd-rom so might as well just be a plugged in typewriter? And having strange cravings for sushi that the next day lead to you buying a book on sushi so you damn well comprehend the stuff? I'm sure you do. Did Idleberry really make a comment about Travis? Really? Like they actually mean something in anyones life apart from vague blurry irritation which if provoked leads to an over the top explosion of impotent frustration and rage? Not that I'm impotent mind you me. Oh no. That was just a rumour and he was gay anyway!!! Bastard!! I've had the best times with B&S on my headphones, walking walking walking. I've had one of my worst B&S times when they've been onstage with a lot of other people watching them and being FUCKWITS, cf. Bowlie. If you're going to diss them just for not playing a show, then I well, saying "I refer thee to Travis" that would be a devastating insult if anyone said it to me but if you take it literally then... *blank look* *mouth opening and shutting but no words coming out* (*) I wanna GO! GO BABY! Sarah x PS - I really do apologise for what rude stuff I typed about S&I before. But I'm not going to delete it. PPS - How do you do an umlaut anyway?

Sinister: optiplex unlimited
by eric 16 Jan '01

16 Jan '01

dear sinister people, here is my once-a-month lead balloon message, feel free to ignore or declare undying love for me as you will. as I waded through approximately 14,000 digests (give or take 13,993) over the past couple of days, so I'm posting, damnit. it's always so hard to start these things... and there's no content, so skip if you're looking for that sort of thing. maybe we should all make the collective decision to call non-b&s related messages "content" since that's really what this seems to be all about. and I've been on the list nearly a year... where does the time go? since lists of advantages/disadvantages of being short/tall/brittany spears have appeared and I've found them amusing, so I'm going to add: trying desperatly not to hit your head on the london tube cars, as they are Quite Small. I don't understand; was england a land of midgets in the early 20th century? was the engineer a sadistic bastard? why are all these people looking at me? which is a nice segue into: eric's london experience. I've been in fair london since friday, and it's certaintly been fair. the weather has been beautiful, and I've only been nearly been hit by cars 10 times, as I'm slow and don't remember that the cars drive on the wrong side of the road here. I shouldn't judge. it's all relative, after all. I've also found that cashiers in stores find it amusing to effect an american accent when they thank me for shopping; one actually said, "thanks y'all". you can't make this stuff up. I'm acutely aware of being an american for the first time in my life, not that this is a bad thing. that's all from me, I suppose. how do you people manage to write such long messages? either I lead a terribly boring life or the fact that 1400 people end up reading (deleting, whatever) this inhibits me. I vote for the latter, of course. -eric ps a big howdy to jp and lila, who are both super great. ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Those First Impressions.
by Nick Horne 16 Jan '01

16 Jan '01

The writer believes in common courtesy above most other things and, as such, feels that he should introduce himself to those listees to whom he remains a stranger. He is telling you the positions to which reality has driven his own life, and he thinks you may be interested enough to consider them. He is a dandy and a do-gooder; a brick and a bohemian; a fop but not, we�re told, a Fabian. He enjoys inventing curiously-mixed similes and installing them into the popular consciousness through the medium of idle chatter. His latest offering is �Gay as a bastard� (eg. Of course they�re staring; you look gay as a bastard in that blouse.) He spends his spare time scanning internet diaries for references to himself. He may, eventually, find the motivation to write his own web-journal, making such vicarious affirmations unnecessary. References to himself in every entry! Just *imagine*! He enjoys fine wine, dancing, and class warfare. He has a habit of throwing odd references and quotes into his sentences without acknowledging them, just to see whether anyone will notice and interject in order to appear learned. Nobody notices. As such, he has not yet been prosecuted for plagiarism. In the interest of balance, he also habitually attributes his own words to random figures of greater renown. (If he's honest, this is about toying with concepts of authorship and authority, and the blind respect accorded to any words placed within quote-marks. A matter on which Rainer Maria Rilke, of course, often wrote). He can regularly be found preaching outside tube stations, his medium being well-polished cufflinks. He recently received three separate offers of sexual congress within the space of five minutes. This is because he looks far wealthier than he really is. He spends more money than he can afford on Christmas records (Low�s Christmas, The Fortuna Pop! Compilation, Spector things�) in the belief that this will remind him of being young and feeling magical again. In fact, it simply reminds him of being young and having no money and how you had to moan at your parents until they relented and bought you things. He doesn�t *do* girlfriends. Recognising that we exist in motion, he struggles to find the necessary distance from which to comment upon himself. He occasionally even feels the need, for instance, to revert to using the Third Person. Ultimately, this all means that he quotes the words of Others far too regularly, in order to pin himself down in a suitably concise manner. The words of six year olds appear truer to him than many of his own well-worn wonderings: �I had a dream Not mean things this time. There was music crying last night I held a lot of things belonging to spring But when I woke up They would not come with me.� - Jane Reis. He is a member of the Baxendale 24-hour mini-Massive. He was approached by a gypsy, two weeks before New Year, who told him that he would be Very Lucky In Love for the remainder of the year. He spent the next two weeks at home with only his parents for company. He doesn�t *do* boyfriends. Lairy men regularly hum to themselves upon passing him in the street. Goodness alone knows what that's all about. He goes to gigs and spends much of the time bemoaning the fact that none of the sounds being played are anywhere *near* as good as his own pop songs. He has yet to complete a single one of his own pop songs. That said, his latest creation is a gorgeous slice of pun-pop, with synth cascades and overwhelmed lyrics of meek betrayal. The working-title? �Numan, All Too Numan�. This week�s favourite quote is by Theodore Roethke: �I�m someone else right now. Don�t tell my hands.� Mme. Nicholas Passant x Some would bemoan the lack of content. But you must, at least, enjoy the *form*. ===== ------------------------------------------ All words belong in the public sphere. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Winter is (almost) over, picnics are back.
by elenita99 16 Jan '01

16 Jan '01

Hello Hello Well, after Christmas time, exams time. It's been like this for four years now, I am getting used to it. Still I can't really get used to study properly. I have the worst exam this afternoon and all I have been doing for a week is hanging around in pyjamas, watching telly, watching my flatmates studying, and watching the rain outside: yes ladies and gentlemen, it's been raining in Barcelona this week. I am not used to that either. But it doesn't depress me because...picnic time is back!! Yes, it is. As a proof I can tell you that a picnic is planned in 2 weeks time here. We'll have Pedro Miller, Miss Maria and Jordi as guests stars from Sinister, plus numerous members of Segundosdeluz, it seems. A mixed and multilingual picnic, kind of. Thanks to the auction Maria will cook for us, and after that we'll all go and shake our small (for me) or tall (for Jordi) bodies at Hefner's gig. That will be my last week-end in Barcelona and it looks like it's going to be great. It's also going to be the last one, though. Sigh. Barcelona is such a great place to live, believe me. Well I will also shake my body at some gigs in London, at least I hope so. And eat greasy chips and walk along the river and all that kind of stuff you do when you're living in London, like paying hundreds of pounds for a tube travelcard. On another note, here is the tip of the week about how to make studying a bit more funny: when you write "goods and services" in French or in Spanish the first letters become B and S (like in Bienes y Servicios for example). So when you write quickly in class and take note you get to write B&S for that. Which makes all the studying thing more fun when you read your marketing notes and imagine it's about Belle and Sebastian. I can hear the exam paper calling my name. Oh well, at least I can write about Belle and Sebastian and explain to the teacher that "I am foreign so I didn't get it all, sorry". Have a good week all of you Elena ______________________________________________ FREE Personalized Email at Mail.com Sign up at http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Bono saves the world again
by Jon Botterman 16 Jan '01

16 Jan '01

Hello listees and listettes I was looking through the new musical express' one hundred moments that rocked or something and noticed that number twenty something as voted by for people who supposedly have brains and can elect governments was "U2 and Ash get together and bring peace to Northern Ireland". I don't remember that happening! Honestly, people actually spend their time voting for that. Anyway, that enraged me and I had to share it. B+S got in at number ninety one for winning a Brit award. Seems that if they'd got together with Mogwai and teenage fanclub to fight the evil English and bring peace to Scotland they might have got in the top thirty. Thinking about it now I probably misread it. On another related subject are many people going to All Tomorrow's Parties? If not you should, it's great fun, you get your own chalet and last year I met Stuart Murdoch who sold me a Sonic Youth T-shirt. This year seems dominated by post and math rock. If that's your cup of sugary tea then you should go. If not spend one hundred pounds on yourself in some other way. This is not an advertisement. I feel I should write shit loads like most other e-mails but I won't as I normally stop reading at about this point. Cheers a lot, Jon. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: gigs and stuff
by Stephen Hewitt 16 Jan '01

16 Jan '01

hello babies possibitity of a rant developing here, but i'll try to keep it relevant... and before i start this isn't a dig at idles or andy, it's something i've been thinking about for a while, their posts just reminded me. So, the reason i love belle and sebastian is because of the songs, full stop. Much as i would love to see them live again, I just get the feeling it isn't going to happen, that it seems to cause so much stress (cf Stuart smashing his guitar in Dublin, cancellation of dates from illness etc), that any sort of tour could mean the end of the band, and that would be the real tragedy. I'd much rather have another five albums (wishful thinking) of lovliness forever, than a botched tour and a couple of nights of excitement. I suppose another thing that i'm thinking about here is that despite the fact that b&s have been my fave band for at least two years, none of the band have blown their head off or left their car next to the severn bridge and disappeared, if you know what i mean. </dramaqueen> Not that I'm even remotely suggesting that anything like that *would* happen, but one gets protective about one's favourite band. does this make any sense? i'm not sure. i'd just like to add that all the above is purely idle speculation, i don't have any contact with anyone from the band or anything, it's just a sort of gut feeling. Having said all that, if there are dates, i'll be at the front of the queue for tickets with the rest of you... On the subject of live music (although that could be argued) i'm going to see marilyn manson next wednesday, which is nice, and according to my sources stuart david/looper are about to confirm an instore at Oxford Borders in April. Hmm, i just got marilyn manson and looper into the same sentence... xoxo CarsmileSteve +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: ViRuS AleRt!
by velocity farewell 16 Jan '01

16 Jan '01

Hello everyone! I hope honey wouldn't mind me doing that... I've just received an email from the network dept here in our uni about 2 new viruses that seem to be really really dangerous... the message I received said: iprortant notification 1. 2 new viruses have been discovered recently. They are sent by email under the subject CALIFORNIA IBM or GIRL THING. IBM has announced that they are really powerful, much more powerful than LOVE II. Even worse there's no way you can cope with them as they break into your hard disk and destroy every information there and also destroy Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer. Do not try to open anything with those subjects; there are very few people who know about these viruses. 2. the following is a message from UCL. You should pass it on to others as soon as possible. If you receive an email with a screen saver titled BUDDLY SIP as an attachement, do not download! Delete it at once! If you download it you will instantly lose all your hard disc data! What we know is that the virus spread a few day ago and it's very dangerous! America Online confirms that no antivirus programme, no matter how updated, can cope with it or destroy it! Ok brothers and sisters... take care and watch out for these new viruses!! they can eat you up in a blink! also watch out for the new navidad virus! it comes with an attachement called "emmanuel"! No matter what you do, no matter who the sender of that email is, do not download the 'emmanuel' attachement!! I know cause I did download it and it ruined all my programmes... Sorry for no B&S context; I thought I should warn you! hugs, VeL xxx ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
