Sinister: The Fire in My Loins
by Blake 09 Jan '01

09 Jan '01

Girls are weird.* Pedro the Lion is a good band.** I have a headache.*** SCAD girls are cute.**** love blake the nerdy shy eyed pacifist. http://members.tripod.com/nucleartrout * They are really really odd. I mean, they're so complex. I just will never ever ever figure them out. Today I spent the hours with sort of an old old friend. Cute as a button. I used to have such an immense crush on her. And guess what? She told me that she used to have an immense crush on me, as well! So that led to her relinquishing the fact that after not seeing me for two years almost to the day, that I looked "really good" and "very cute". And with that she licked her lips and continued to eat her ice cream. Of course, this led to nothing as we had to leave shortly thereafter. Maybe I should have mentioned that there was another girl with us, a mutual friend, and my cute girl told me this revealing info only when the other girl was using the lavatory. So we had no time and now I probably won't see her until, oh who knows? Girls are so cruel. Now I think all of the time I had spent with her as a robust 15 year old was a waste. You know, I have this theory. Let me digress. I have this theory that my not so casual string of broken hearts at the hands of evil, nasty young girls combined with the fact that my favorite Cleveland sports teams lose every year (some come close, none of them win) have led to a personal sense of untrustworthiness. That is, I find it really hard in my current state to trust anyone or anything. Because I've been hurt so many times. Yes I take my Cleveland sports that seriously. It sounds very Nabokovian, very Humbertish to be making such a declaration. I am going nuts. Girls are cruel. But cute too. ** I know this is a B&S list, and naturally I love them with all of my heart, but Pedro the Lion is an outstanding unit. I had heard before hearing them that they were christian rock. Now, that sounds icky, but something can be spiritual without being dogmatic and Jerry Fallwell. So keep that in mind. Just lovely music. I really can't recommend them enough. *** I took two tylenol a half hour ago. No progress yet. Yeeeoww. **** Today, as mentioned earlier, I spent a day with a cute girl. I was in Savannah, Georgia. There is the Savannah College of Art and Design, or SCAD. Well, tons, and I mean, TONS, of cute girls walking in and out of buildings. My heart was aflutter. I thought I saw a B&S shirt on one of them. I may be wrong. Think of the possibilities though: what if it was the Savannah College of Art and Butter? Then it'd be SCAB. Isn't there something Nabokovian, not only about me, but about this post? Anyone read "Pale Fire", where the story is in the footnotes?

Sinister: finally hello
by Ava Arsaga 08 Jan '01

Alright. I've decided it is quite time for me to make my introduction, but I'll do my best to make it short for i know how tedious it is to read ten page long emails from one you dont really know or want to for that matter...oh i hope that's not the case...just amuse me...please...i think that i was out of the nursery about a month and a half ago, but dear lord it took me about that long to catch up with all of you people...i come to check my mail and i end up having seventeen new messages which is quite a paradigm shift from, well zero (excluding the ***MAKE $500 IN TWENTY MINUTES*** and the likes)...anyway, my name is Ava. There. I dont quite know what else to say...well im an "avid" listener of B&S...but who here isn't...I go to FHS...fayetteville high...ugh...i had to go up in speech class and recite a poem...which i forgot to prepare for as usual, but it all worked out...Belle and Sebastian saved me again as i strolled up to the front of the class and recided, somewhat "tunefully", if thats a word, Fox in the Snow...well..i think i'm taking up too much of everyone's time...but more later....dont worry, they'll be short too...It was nice...

Sinister: i fought in a rumour
by jonny five 08 Jan '01

08 Jan '01

Sini, back from 'exciting' chrimble, with its not-pleasant mission of coming out to my folks complete. everything went as OK as could be expected, but i don't exactly look back on it with pleasure. it puts me in the position of Second Outest Sinite (although i'm willing to be relegated to a lower position on the production of sufficient evidence), and Deputy Gay Question Answerer, second only to the king of out, Eric. Tthis is the sort of shite you end up sending to Sini when it's 9pm, you've spent the entire day alone because you came back to uni early to revise (i.e. buy new clothes), and you've discovered RealAudio *and* you've got headphones. i'm sorry for being silly, i'm just happy that i've done the deed. i hope no-one, in or out, is offended by my post-9pm daftness. i didn't mean to attempt to usurp anyone on the Sinister Gay League Table. so, rumours: my sister, who is in The Party (the, delightfully Sinister, Socialist Worker's Party), tells me that B&S are currently in negotiations to play a Party benefit concert of some sort in Manchester. No time, details or authentification were offered, despite threats of chrimble present with-holding or TV guide destruction. So that's all. I just though Sini needed to know, or maybe i need lots of mails with my name in them (and the words, in no particular order, 'lurker', 'swine', 'bloodhound', 'old' and 'hat'). please can someone better informed let me (and the entire world) know. ps my secret opinion is that they are getting a Rich 'n' Mick DJ Set, but i'm not letting myself get any less excited yet. other than the gay business, and the vague poss. of a concert, That Is All. j.xxx ps big swooping waves to eric, miles and loz. and to everyone else on Sini, whether they know me or not. pps oh, and a big 'You utter bastards' to everyone for the horrifically bad response to my Honey's Chrimble Present Idea Thing. You do realise she has gone back on the Quaaludes and is locking herself in the understairs cupboard with a hairbrush as we speak? you swines. _____________________________________________ Free email with personality!

Sinister: You're soaking in it.
by Brier Random 08 Jan '01

Hi angels & devils & doms & subs, When did girls get to be such potty-mouths? And i'm not even talking about Isabel here, i'm thinking of the loud girl at the bar on Friday, who was talking about music (loudly) to her two friends, and from what i could hear (which was a lot) she had pretty good taste. She loved the new Yo La T, and was saying something about Guided By Voices. Then i got out my Hello Kitty wallet, with the Matador sticker on it, and she said "You like Matador?" and i thought it was a sly pick-up line so i said "why yes" and she said "FUCK Matador!" very loudly, and my only hope is that some people misheard her as saying to me "fuck me in the doorway" which would improve my status at this particular bar considerably. Which is exactly what i need. She was probably just upset about Pavement. Finally some rain last night, one hell of a dashing pouring rain. Good for things that grow. Good for things that live alone. I decided to be brave and ride my scooter to work anyway, not sure if the rain is finished or not. Got my mittens just in case. I'll be fine. Speaking of GBV, didn't they play n.years eve in n.carolina, Llaura?? I'm sure you were there. Extra loud (like the girl at the bar) THANKS to the delightful Annie Tremp for smuggling me a suitcase full of Belgian chocolate, my sweet tooth is sore, and a mix-tape with a caramel center. Everything was sweet and so is she. Content? You bet I am. And although i liked several albums last year, the best thing to come out was by a girl from Olympia Washington named Mirah. Everything else comes in second. Even you-know-who. (no, not Britney). Listening to the latest Travis CD now, track 7 is pretty good. Off to the Dep't of Motor Vehicles to get a personalized plate for my scooter. Any guesses what it'll say? Your unfaithful servant, Brier +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: "Indie-pop girls of the world unite"
by Grainne Elizabeth Mary Lynch 08 Jan '01

08 Jan '01

Dear Sin'ters Well, when I was first awarded my voice and graduated from the nursery, I was thrilled. I felt like Ariel at the end of the Disney version of The Little Mermaid. Not the original story, because she kills herself in that, doesn't she? Someone tell me if this is true or not, because I need to know. Anyway, because it was the Christmas holidays and I had a million and one things to do, I didn't get a chance to test my voice, but now I am back at college, with all the time in the world. So here I am. I have enjoyed very much being part of this list. I like to read your gig reviews, tales of what happens when sin'ters meet-up and everybody's romantic escapades. I was sad to miss the deadline for the Great Present Exchange, but I definitely want to be part of it next year and I really want to hear how it went this year. FACT. When I first heard of Belle and Sebastian, this was a few years ago, I thought it was a Disney spin-off and that Belle was Beauty from Beauty and the Beast and Sebastian was the crab from The Little Mermaid. I thought "What a stupid idea, who wants to listen to a whole heap of Disney songs" and turned off the radio. What a fool I was! I revised my opinion after seeing Legal Man on Top of the Pops. Then after reading a couple of great reviews for it, I decided to buy Fold Your Hands Child as a birthday present for myself last summer. And I feel in love with it. I thought it was all so beautiful, and the music and words made pretty stories in my head. Then I got Tigermilk for Christmas and I love that too. I know that I'm going to be spending much time and money in the near future collecting their music and it makes me happy that there's so much to collect. For those of you that like to know these things, I am 18 years old, in my second year of college in Dublin, Ireland. I am studying Multimedia Computing, but I love acting and the theatre, and one of my favourite bands is The Divine Comedy. I'm also a girl. Hugs and happiness. Grainne.

well, i would certainly like to avoid this, but it seems i have no choice. some of you have been so kind to me...sending me get wells and encouraging me on...but then there were the other few of you that were horribly rude to me. all i can say is this: When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, the dunces are all in confederacy against him. and yes, i realize that maybe i ranted on a little much I was sick and isolated with nothing better to do...but fuck you if you don't like it...click delete. its just that simple...i do it all the time. youre probably the same group of people that call people out cause you dont like their dress or hair or shoes...in which case i think you should be hung by your toes. now please dont email me again with your halfwitted bullshit. (clearing throat) Thank you. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Books Make You Bald
by Peter Miller 08 Jan '01

So Jeepster do a deal with XFM to put out their "charity" album and before you can say "Neil Robertson" a string of top Jeepster acts such as The Gents' are enjoying free promotion via extended concert broadcasts on XFM. If it weren't so laughable, it'd be funny. THAI NEWS - CLEAN SWEEP FOR NEW BROOM A Thai businessman has won an unexpected landslide victory in the presidential elections. He's going to form a three party coalition government in an attempt to quash unruly elephant opposition in the House (trumpeting out of turn). Like "Bedknobs and Broomsticks". Thanks to David "Flashback" Moore for alerting us to B&S's appearance at number 49 in the Festive Fifty, a position traditionally held by The Sisters of Mercy. Fancy being beaten by Hefner. Has the world gone stark staring mad? I could go on for hours and hours about Mexican chocolate, but I'd have to go and look it up first. Mole also means big huge thing in Spanish, Kipper. I've got some 74% cocoa chocolate, it's bloody horrible. It's on the Nestlé label. I bought an album by Merle Haggard and there's a sticker on the front with a quote from Tom Waits - "Want to learn to write songs?... Listen to Merle Haggard." I have crossed out "Merle Haggard" and written "The Pinefox" in propelling pencil. I saw a lot of Nitty Gritty Dirt Band CDs when I was buying it. For Christmas I got a "Keith Moon - The Life and Death of a Rock Legend" postcard which I carry with me at all times, like a rock'n'roll donor card. I recommend the film "Small Time Crooks" starring Tracy Ullman. Eat shit, Lenny Henry. Mister Jordi and Mamselle 99 might like to know (if they don't know already) that Stuart "Peacock Redemption" David's favourite band Migala will be wowing the shoppers at an "in-store" in "el Fnac" in "L'illa" on "el diagonal" on Thursday at 1900. I might wear my red jumper for the occasion.
