Sinister: Gut check time...
by Walkn10＠aol.com 15 Jan '01

15 Jan '01

Howdy everyone, I don't know if anyone ever mentioned it, but there was an interview with Isobel in an issue of Magnet magazine recently. It basically talked about the gentle waves, but it highlighted her love of talking smut, including the revelation that many of the songs on the GWs new album are about...gasp...sex. Not just sex with anyone, mind you, but ostensibly sex with Stuart Murdoch, because Isobel admits in the first paragraph that they've been an on-again-off-again item for quite a long time now. Its a side of Isobel I know I didn't expect to see, what with all the bunny and tree talk, and its a pretty good read. In more important news...THE BALTIMORE RAVENS HAVE MADE THE SUPER BOWL!!!!!!! Yes folks, against all odds the beloved team of my home town is playing in the biggest sporting event in America in two weeks. I still cannot believe it. You can say their offense is weak, that they're too young, that they don't deserve it, you can even say that American football is somehow an idiotic sport, but to all that I say PISS OFF! because you're obviously a prude and an idiot to boot. Next stop, Tampa Bay. I had four cans of beer sprayed on me at once...I stink...

Sinister: aw, baby, you know i love you
by Christiaan!! !! 15 Jan '01

15 Jan '01

Hi. Stacey posted. Rad. I have a good reason to post tonight. Honey, shut your eyes. I know I haven't been on sinister all that long, and that I have no right to do this, but I think I have to. I'm going to post to the list-- about the list. I'm sorry, I must. Haha no just kidding! Laura Llew says: #Sinister: Satan's Chatroom or The Land of Milk(maaids)& Honey I say: #Sinister: Both. Laura Llew also said: "I know you all curl up with your...grandmother...the antichrist" Ouch! Back to sinister. Do you know who the milkmaaid is? I do. In fact, I know him personally. He's a slender fellow, about This tall. He likes jelly beans and apple juice and can sometimes be seen changing his pants in parking lots before getting ice cream. Milkmaaid seems like a real nice guy from the outside, but...sometimes I don't think it's for real. If you look into his eyes, you can see his pupils. Also, he hit a coworker the other day. That's the meanest thing I've ever heard of! Look what I'm trying to say is: if #sinister is Satan's chatroom, I'm sure milkmaaid would be right at home. If any of you see him there, fuck his shit up. Other than milkmaaid #sinister is a lovely place. Sometimes the other maids (who are much nicer than the double a'd fiend) are there prancing about with the lovely Princess Honey. And sometimes they aren't. Crocheting has also come up. I can't crochet. My little sister can, though. I'll take sides with the crochet folk, mostly because I'm crushing the two revolutionary leaders (the aforementioned Llewy and the soon-to-return-to-our-country Merry Marie Elia). Also, Madame Defarge is a bitch. It's still kind of hard though, taking sides with my sister. I don't like her too much. It was nice to see that Stacey uses a laptop. I do too. That way I can lay down and chat/email/whatever without leaving bed. Also, I can eat meals and spill them all over my chest tonightiwashavingnoodles and i had them onmyfork and somefelloff and saucesaucesauceSAUCE onmychest oh god flash backs!! Um. Yeah, so. I see some people are having a meetup in a while. That's really great to hear. I've decided to have one of my own on a date to be decided. I wish everyone could go, but I've decided that I'm allowing only attractive male's over 6' (or 7") who wear over $1000 outfits and ride grey donkeys to work at Microsoft to come. Wait. You know what? Fuck that. If anyone wants to come, come. I live in southeastern Michigan, USA. If you're close to that, come say hi. If you don't want to drive, that's cool. I'll come to you. OK? Because I love you ALL. That's right! You! with the long hair and braces. You! with the broken arm and the ugly sweater. You! with the glasses and the Hefner cigarette case. You! with the baby blue cashmere turtle neck and the glittery girls pa- oops, that's me! Well, I love you Christiaan! OK I'm goint to bed now. Bye! Love, Christiaan PS: you should really go to #sinister for chatting goodness. the new bots, uncxavier and auntwendy, kick each other for idling. it's funny. PPS: I love you. One last thing: You know what? I always forget this list is about Belle & Sebastian when I'm posting. Oh listmum please don't spank me!

Sinister: working overtime on the seduction line
by Stacey Shackford 15 Jan '01

15 Jan '01

hullo lovelies! After several long years away, I have broken down and rejoined the list. And it seems so lovely! We appear to have loads of talented, creative writers. I must admit to being a wee bit intimidated. I spend my life writing about criminals, victims, degenerates and everyone in between, and at the end of the day i don't have much of anything creative to say. But I enjoy cuddling in bed with my laptop and reading lots of pretty sinister posts. I don't have much important to say really, but I was so excited to be exempt from nursery status that I felt compelled to post something! First things first. Everyone seems so ill! I hope John John dear is not the only sinisterene toting around flasks of soup. I get worried, you know. And there are far too many sinisterenes chatting their nights away and not sleeping *ahem stoo and ken*. Mummyness aside... As means of introduction... I am Stacey. I am 23 (24 on Feb. 26, if you'd like to send prezzies :). I first joined the list in 97/98. I think I was number 80 or something (is that possible???) and left when I went to Greece to study archaeology. I never came back - to the list that is, I'm back from Greece. I currently live in Massachusetts and work as a crime reporter (if you hadn't figured that out already, add that to my list of sinisterene concerns). I'd like to be able to reflect on the good ole days of sinister, but honestly I don't remember much. :) I remember miss erin lewis, the angel from California who made me my first copy of Tigermilk, back when it was still the most hard to get and coveted item ever. Is erin still around? I owe her a prezzie. I remember the first crush list - it was managed by some poor unsuspecting listee, and St. Lucy or whoever got all the votes because of her foxy photo. I remember my very first tape exchange, and Nick Dastoor and some other boy constantly taunting each other. Great fun. Katrina and David would feed our insatiable hunger for band gossip and patiently supply answers to our neverending barrage of trivial questions. Awww... Anyway, I'm sure the list is much better now :) At the very least, it seems more thoughtful and substantial. Yet still very cozy, which is what I love so much about belle and sebastian fans. I have never met a listee, but I'm sure that'll change soon enough. Enough about me already. I heard the chirp of a poetry parrot earlier and thought it sounded lovely. Mind if I feed it? Seniors, by Mr. Alberto Rios (not me! unfortunately :) William cut a hole in his Levi's pocket so he could flop himself out in class behind the girls so the other guys could see and shit what guts we all said. All Konga wanted to do over and over was the rubber band trick, but he showed everyone how, so nobody wanted to see anymore and one day he cried, just cried until his parents took him away forever. Maya had a Hotpoint refridgerator standing in his living room, just for his family to show anybody who came in that they could afford it. Me, I got a french kiss, finally, in the catholic darkness, my tongue's farthest half vacationing loudly in another mouth like a man in Bermudas, and my body jumped against a flagstone wall, I could feel it through her thin, almost nonexistent body: I had, at that moment, a hot girl on a summer night, the best of all the things we tried to do. Well, she let me kiss her anyway, all over. Or it was just a flagstone wall with a flow in the stone, an understanding cavity for burning young men with smooth dreams - the true circumstance is gone, the true circumstances about us all then are gone. But when I kissed her, all water, she would close her eyes, and they into somewhere would disappear, whether she was there or not, I remember her, clearly, and she moves around the room, sometimes, until I sleep. I have lain on the desert in watch low in the back of a pick-up truck for nothing in particular, for stars, for the things behind stars, and nothing comes more than the moment: always now, here in a truck the moment again to dream of making love and sweat, this time to a woman, or even to all of them in some allowable way, to those boys, then who couldn't cry, to the girls before they were women, to friends, me on my back, the sky over me pressing its simple weight into her body on me, into the bodies of them all, on me. Oh my, that was quite long! and a bit dirty, I'm afraid. Ah well. That's what they made scroll keys for. Night all. Be good. ~dahling ____________________________________________________________________ Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1 +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Don't put your eggs all in one bastard
by Laura Llew 15 Jan '01

15 Jan '01

Well, I'll be damned. (If I'm lucky.) I turn my head for nary a second and if the list hasn't been overtaken by knasty knitters. Once again, I must go on a crocheting crusade and this time without the trusty Ree who is far too distracted while in England. I know y'all curl up with your knitting kneedles and think of yourselves as all twee and grandmotherly. All the while Madame Defarge is lurking inside. Do you know knitting's tainted history? Tricoteuses were Parisian women who attended revolutionary meetings and urged the crowds on to greater bloodshed, knitting all the while. I've never crocheted a scarf which was a list of people who were to be slaughtered. (Of course, now I have a new goal in life...) We might be hookers or even the antichrist but at least we aren't little leaches with our yarn... which is why I believe I shall spare lovely Emily's neck and pamper the poetry parrot. Within the same breath which she uttered her lovely Sonnet, Will Porter (Adonis extraordinaire) mentioned Wallace Stevens. Wally has the same birthday as me (which I suppose isn't hard when I have so many. the more birthdays i have the more presents I get) Last fall, while I was in Hartford Connecticut I took the path which he walked every day from work to home which is where he wrote his poetry. It was quite lovely, even if I was left as uninspired as when I started. So, I immediately whipped (you'd think Proust had entered the picture) out my beloved Christmas gift of Stevens collected poems and tried to decide on one. Mmm, I do love 13 ways of looking at a blackbird, especially, "I do not know which to prefer: the beauty of inflections or the beauty of innuendoes. The blackbird whistling, or just after." However, I didn't get very far before I started hearing Dorothy Parker coo to me. Well, it wasn't much of a coo - but I suppose one can't expect much from the poet who's been dead 33 years. Plus, when she was alive she smoked like a demon. I think I could respond to most of the sinister posts simply by quoting Parker. To JenOwl who was pondering about guys - "Some men break your heart in two, Some men fawn and flatter, Some men never look at you; And that cleans up the matter." To IsabelLark who's wondering if she's in love - don't worry its just an Unfortunate Coincidence. "By the time you swear you're his, shivering and sighing, And he vows his passion is infinite, undying - Lady, make a note of this: One of you is lying." To the students at exam time: Razors pain you; Rivers are damp; Acids stain you; And drugs cause cramp. Guns aren't lawful; Nooses give; Gas smells awful; You might as well live. I'm certainly squeaking the squawk from the parrot. Hey - at least I didn't simply put one of the poems about me written by a list member. I could have just cut and copied http://www.angelfire.com/indie/badpoetry right here but instead you get a dirge for the dead. Here's my actual poem - which is my favorite. This one is for Chorine Chris Lampien who I love more than the smell of burning leaves in the autumn. Threnody Lilacs blossoms just as sweet Now my heart is shattered. If I bowled it down the street, Who's to say it mattered? If there's one that rode away What would I be missing? Lips that taste of tears, they say, Are the best for kissing. Eyes that watch the morning star Seem a little brighter; Arms held out to darkness are Usually whiter. Shall I bar the strolling guest, Bind my brow with willow? When, they say, the empty breast Is the softer pillow? That a heart falls tinkling down, Never think it ceases Every likely lad in town Gathers up the pieces. If there's one gone whistling by Would I let it grieve me? Let him wonder if I lie; Let him half believe me. Lovely. Now, who shall I send the albatross to? The only ancient mariner I know of is Captain Ahab. So, the poetry parrot is flying the coop to one of my most favorite people ever - Ahab of AOL. I actually wrote him a poem to him once - on a sugar packet - in a Denny's - in the middle of the night - in Binghamton, New York. He hasn't come out from under his bed ever since.

Sinister: develop, stop, fix, think
by Will Salt 15 Jan '01

15 Jan '01

this is going to be another one of those personal, diary type posts with little if any content. if you demand content in your reading, turn away now. i'm feeling a bit reflective and thoughtful tonight. my grandmother died this afternoon. over the past few years, she was moved into nursing homes. she started forgetting where and when she was. she couldn't walk, and just before she died she couldn't eat either. it happened just as i was moving away from home, so i would see her maybe once or twice a year. each time she would be smaller, less confident, more unhappy, less sure of where she was. people would visit, and she would not know who they were. she would think they were old friends, people who died decades ago. She would burst into tears, because she would think she had been talking to her brother, but would then remember that he had been shot down over frankfurt fifty-seven years before. i last saw her three weeks ago. i walked into the day room of the nursing home, and didn't recognise her. when we left, she was crying. i said "i'll see you again", but i didn't think i would. i think she knew too. at least she had known who i was. before i left home, i had travelled round and round my home town taking pictures of everything i could. buildings, parks, landscapes, weather, people. i only have one photograph of my grandmother, though, and it isn't very good. a lot of the things i took pictures of then have disappeared now, but i'm not so bothered about buildings. today, tomorrow, or next week, i will put more film in my camera and go out and photograph everyone and everything i know. tomorrow, they might not be there anymore. i shall stand in the darkroom and count out seconds of light. the other week, i was reading through some old sinister posts that i'd kept. one was about someone who'd worked in a nursing home, and knew how horrible it was. one was: what will happen when we are all old ourselves? will we be sitting in a home all together, listening to B+S as we forget who and where we are? nursing homes are horrible, horrible places, but we have to face up to them. we are all going to be ancient one day. maybe we can all collapse together. i shall stop taking up your precious, precious time. i shall take your photograph instead. xx gneiss -- Will Salt ICQ 66321009 +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Memphis IN November
by IsabelLark＠aol.com 15 Jan '01

15 Jan '01

Well, I put that post up about the tapes and received quite a response. I had no idea that there were so many listees near me. I thought everyone (but me) lived in Europe. Anyway, we have planned a meeting in Memphis in November. If you can get there, please contact us. If we have enough then we could do a floor block of rooms at some hotel. The list of contacts are as follows: Toadie29(a)aol.com (lurker girl) Isabellark(a)aol.com (Me) This is going to be a blast...and it will be in November, so that we may all wear our cardigans. We will work out the exact dates as we get closer, but it will be on a weekend in November for now. Plan your month accordingly. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: oh yeah. i almost forgot.

anyone interested in trading mix tapes? I am great at making compilation tapes...and I would love to trade tapes. It's truly the best (and most honest) way to find out about good new music that maybe you otherwise wouldn't have been introduced to. though in this day and age of MP3's and the like...it seems that this is the slowest possible way to hear about new music, but I am hoping that some of you out there don't mind slow, honest, or novel. Even though I have a potty mouth (tourettes) and am morally challenged in most ways....a girl has to draw the line somewhere. Note: I only accept and make tapes.

Sinister: a laughing matter.
by IsabelLark＠aol.com 14 Jan '01

14 Jan '01

Today I feel like an Arab Strap song...all raspy and sexy...all drinking and bed wetting. all abusing and misusing. all dirty and molesting. all fondling my balls in your name...all calling you out as a game. Anyway, back to this matador thing. I bought a couple of compilations (which i rarely do, but 5 CDs for twenty dollars...a bargain) Anyway, I wondered for a while why there wasn't any Belle and Sebastian on any of them. I mean Arab Strap is on there even. I understand that there was some sort of hiatus between the two, but I thought it was rather brief...so brief that B & S could have been on one or both sets. Let me know if you know cause its this sorta thing that keeps me up at night (not really.) Last night on HBO, I watched this show "Reverb" which had Built to Spill and Pavement. It was awesome. I was pumped up and ready to rock at like 2 in the morning....not a good thing, but not bad either. Pavement, oh Pavement, what happened? Steven was talking on about the highlights of touring and one of which sitting down to eat a good meal together. I thought that was so sweet. In all that you do, having something as simple as a good meal with people that you genuinely like...we should all hope that something so small could be so wonderful. Did you know that Steve and Steven used to be security guards together in a new york museum? I thought that was clever too. Right now I am listening to my comp CD...which has a slow live version of sugarcube (ylt)....so beautiful. I saw them live a couple of months ago...it was the best show I have ever seen. but I saw them with an ex-beau of mine. it's best to see shows with good platonic friends, I think...so when the relationship goes down the drain you dont have to be reminded of it everytime you listen to a band or whatnot. Incidentally, I wrote him a letter that I never sent. It's ugly, but I want to share it with you anyway....just to show you what I mean by this Arab Strap mode of mine. it read like this: 'You're nothing but a joke to me. Someone to manipulate. silly putty comes to mind everytime I think of you. A joke and nothing more. you would do better to never allow me to talk to you again, but you always do. And I just couldn't care less...closure means nothing to me...it never has. And you may struggle with some witty reply, but I am the one that holds the score card anyway. So nothing that you can do or say is going to make you better than what you are right now. and what you are right now is not much. So now here is what you do: Member directory search and find another one...a joke like you must occasionally have some fun. and to answer that nagging question that comes while you jerk off. "no, you never were" So fuck you...not tonight not ever again. You're not worth the waste of wet. thanks for the laughs. ' Incidentally, I never sent it...cause truth be known he is the one that broke my heart...and not the other way around...and he is the one that holds the card for score keeping. but it's fun to pretend, you know. Anyway, I hope Sunday finds you all doing something wonderful or nothing at all, but nothing , I mean nothing, inbetween the two.

Sinister: denied by the paperwork
by Paul Arathoon 14 Jan '01

14 Jan '01

Well as I hadn't posted for a while I thought I might utilise the dying hours (well 15 mins at least) of another boring sunday to rectify that fact. One of the highlights of the festive season was walking into a pub in the west end of london and hearing "o'come o'come..." i was so surprised i nearly ordered cider instead of vodka but luckily the ubiquitous ibiza trance compilation kicked in after a few minutes and i was able to order with a clear mind. Ok, this wasn't really a highlight at all but it amused me. i stood next to darren hefner the other day at ant hefners gig. he slagged off the band who were playing after ant and quite rightly too. They are called Lincoln and specialise in meandering jazz or something. the gig felt like death by slow burning at a low temperature. Having said that, sunday times really liked their mini-album. not that the sunday times should be used as a barometer of anything. I started a new job a month ago. it was a relief because i was feeling poor and doing nothing all day gets depressing. i am now working for a most evil conglomerate that i am sure Radiohead dislike in some way. i like working for them though. i get free coke and don't have to wear a suit which is reason enough to like working there. Last night i went to school disco. which is.. a school disco with lots of alcohol and you had to wear school uniform. Thus there were lots of blokes looking stupid and lots of girls looking like Britney spears. The music was rubbish of course but i doubt anyone on sinister could resist dancing to the perennial classic "sweet child o' mine".
