Sinister: FaR AwAy aNd LoSt iN JoY...

05 Jan '01

HaPpY NeW YeaR everyone!! Well brothers and sisters, life is cruel, innit? yet another new year... time flies whether you're having fun or not... I was supposed to be in London for New Year's but due to some unbeatable forces I had to stay here and spent hols at my parents' house... I've said that before, but have you noticed that the older you grow the more depressing it gets spending x-mas hols at your parents'? So, I stayed in the house for as long as holidays lasted, watching silly films with my sister, eating crisps and chocolates and all sorts of fattening stuff, smoking a lot and feeling so bored, except from the times when I was talking with our HoNeYBooBLeS on the phone, gossiping about boys and swooning over prada outfits!! at the end, I even suffered from insomnia cause of all this unbelievable boredom! and I had no internet access!! now, If you can imagine that!! I hate x-mas with 'the force of a thousand suns' like Brian (AKA hobnob) would say... I do!! And these xmas haven't changed the way I feel about them... Stephen-Carsmile-Lad mentioned the New Year's Eve Party at the TRoUseRs' ViLLa!! Starry and myself weren't there just in spirit but in voice too since we both called after midnight... I still feel dizzy after that! I talked I don't know with how many people, around 15 I guess!!Elena99 was accused afterwards of having stolen the phone and hiden behind an armchair! mmm that's why I talked with her longer than with anyone else... The atmosphere was gay and overflown with joy and alcohol and nice tunes that I could hear from the other end of my telephone wire and got me all green with jealousy!! everyone was going on the spree laughing and dancing around... News: Mr Popkins and Sezah were lying sick in their rooms, poor darlings whilst the heartless lot outside their bedrooms had the time of their lives... Le Pinefox played a solo session and we heard such great comments about that... we were also informed that PF headed to the land of lumberjacks!!! I'm really worried about his safety!! You never know where these slumberjacks- and not their timbers - can land!! watch out PF!! We want you back safe and sound! CaptainMarvo the Mighty got penguins and penguin accesoires for pressies and was all happy and cheerful! New York listees such as Sparkling Ree and Cyberglam Julie and Exotic-and-Citizen-of-the-World-now-Phil were there too! But I managed to talk only with Ree on the phone who was - as we were informed lately - the only sober person in the whole assembly!! Other news... we've been in the tweekitten site to discover that the ViSiToRs' CD titled "miss" has its rightful place in the Top 100 Sellers of 2000 and so does the Black Tambourine Complete Recordings CD which is by now out of stock!! Chrss L. 'the jam-tart' (= sweetheart in cockney, so that we'll avoid any misunderstandings) mentioned groupies... a little research on the subject gave us this URL which includes lots of spicy gossip and other stuff, also instructions of how to become an aknowledged groupie... Chrss try it: http://www.jsolar.com/groupies/groupies.html KenKenJugglingPrince and myself agreed that the coolest sinister picnic is yet to come... we think it's going to be in April in London... that's where I'm going to be at the time... If I survived scooter accidents till then... have you ever ride on a scooter with your earphones on? it's great... I can't ride without music... but you actually ride faster especially when you're listening to songs you really like... so this morning heading to work, I couldn't but sing out loud along to Moz's "YoU'Re The OnE FoR Me FaTtY" to the astonishment of passing by vehicle drivers... You should all support Chris Wu's( AKA: pooOOooo)Label called GiFteD ReCorDs which has just released item 001 a plit 7" Even As We Speak/In A Day in collaboration with our very own's Brian P. (AKA McMcMc) Sandcastle Records!! Buy it!! it's absolutely fab! we were also informed that the Gifted Records second release, item 002, will be a split 7" again of The Pines/Simpatico due Feb/March... Simpatico is an aussie band, the bloke from Sweet William... and they'll be covering a Black Tambourine (if I'm right) song where as The Pines will be covering a Sweet William song... for more information go to: http://homepages.ihug.com.au/~tbc/giftedRecords/index.html We also know that HoneyBoobles the little princess of the West has guests at the HoneyHouse... Her and Linda are visited by Ree, Carey, Marvo and Julie!! Have fun you!! You should all go to David's site www.belleandsebastian.freeserve.co.uk and do this survey thingy!! tis fun!! The pressies exchange thing went very well, thanks to JoanOfDark, greeks have bright ideas, mind you... To those to who I owe their pressies... sorry for the delay they're going to be there very soon... and they're going to be just great... To those who sent me my pressies, please do e-mail me cause I don't have your e-addies... talking about pressies and mail, two parcels were stolen from my mailbox whilst I was away for xmas hols... I don't know what they were and that makes it even more frustrating... I still can't believe it that someone stole my parcels on x-mas!! tis a disgrace!! And with that I'll leave you all for now... thanks for baring with me, those of you who did... take care, hugs VeL xxx ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: continuum
by lisa morrison 05 Jan '01

05 Jan '01

judging from the gay and bright posts, new year was had as some big ball dropping ritual complete with booze and woos and women...for me it was memphis women and fried chicken...or memphis chicken and fried women...either way finger-licking... the literary cowboys didn't drink their champagne but kept promises to a vivacious twenty year old who wanted new years smooches and was prepared to go to vicious lengths to attain them... barr-ed it on that drunken night...worked and did my cock-tail thing, but unfortunately got none of either...cock-or-tail, that is... but jessica-kat got a cock and tailing job with me so she struted cowboy belt and boot around too...fair trade i had someone to kiss at midnight when we set down our trays and toasted the new year in with djs shy-boy billy and gator and shannon the theater-folk bartending fool and amoungst other classic bar characters... all in all, or none in it at all, the ringing in was successful and rewarding... rewarding b/c i managed to get the djs to play magnetic fields "heart runnin round like a chicken with its head cut off" to which jessica and i bounced about as the country-drunk-on-23s-of-lager-bumpkins threw puzzled-23-of-lager glances...somehow i suspect only a coniving red mouthed dynamic like myself could achieve magnetic fields in a counrty western bar...the djs ate it up, but its a beat to slow for a good solid thunderfoot so they want to change it and make it shy-boy billy's theme song..."the djs runnin round like a chicken with his head cut off..." and they want to make the "whoa nelly" part into "shy-boy billy"... i've created a monster... ideal and all -(selfappointed)listdomlisa hi...? _________________________________________________________________ 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: Red Bull, that's cool
by Kenneth P Y Chu 05 Jan '01

05 Jan '01

Hello, The song "All my little words" by the Magnetic Fields is the best, such a beautiful song.. AND, have *you* noticed? It is written about RED BULL! Listen to this: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lyrics: >> You are a splendid butterfly >> It is your wings that make you beautiful >> and I could make you fly away >> but I could never make you stay Blue and silver like a butterfly Gives you wings that are beautiful You can easily "fly away" but try drink some and keep still! >> You said you were in love with me >> Both of us know that that's impossible >> and I could make you rule the day >> but I could never make you stay another verse about redbull-holics' seemingly impossible love for red bull >> Not for all the tea in China >> not if I could sing like a bird >> not to all North Carolina >> not for all my little words The stimulation effects from Tea in China is, of course, NO CONTEST against that of Red Bull, and it's not for sale in some parts of North Carolina, not even if you sing or try and chat up the store keeper. >> not if I could write for you >> the sweetest song you ever heard >> It doesn't matter what I do >> not for all my little words ditto. >> Now that you've made me want to die >> you tell me that you're unboyfriendable Now you've overdosed on Red Bull, you're told that in this jittery state, you're unlikely to pull. >> and I could make you pay and pay >> but I could never make you stay If you have ever bought Red Bull with your own money before you'll know how it makes you pay and pay. And once again after you drink it you staying still is out of the question. ---------------------------------------------------------------- :) There we are, even the Magnetic Fields love Red Bull, so why shouldn't you? Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh I have so much work to do, it's insane, maybe it's because I spend all day listen for the hidden meanings of Magnetic Fields songs rather than working... I very much agree with Princess Christiaan that Lauranges should carry on posting to sinister, and other people should start posting soon too, especially if maybe you are a young lady in London who likes to mosh to B&S :) or Terrovision fans... Butterflies and Red Bulls Ken ====================================================================== On a bus stop in the town, we rule the school written for anyone to read, and to see - Belle & Sebastian +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: It is his love, it is his passion....it is his fault he didn't lock the garage
by JENOWL22＠aol.com 05 Jan '01

05 Jan '01

Hewwo, Well, I have a really good hogmanay and things. I gave up my room for the lovely Ian Hatcher (and I don't do that for just anyone) for four days, so we could go to the 13th Note on new years eve, and get so unbelievably baned I've still got a hangover. Well, not really, but you know what I mean. I remember the vodka and oranges, and them playing Jesus Christ Superstar music, and writing all kinds of rubbish on the walls of the toilets, and going up to the bar and talking to people I don't know and yelling really loudly that I couldn't believe they were serving me cause I'm only 15, and then the bar staff looking at me, then serving my anyway. I remember hugging these hard kids from my school, who were too drunk and surprised to beat me up, and I remember crying on the bus home. It was a grate start to the new year. Oh, and Ian and I had a lightsaber battle of an epic scale in George Square on new years day, which I won (spectacularly). It was pretty short though. I broke my lightsaber five minutes into the fight, and The Blonde said she wasn't surprised, cause she's seen me fencing, and apparantly I'm really agressive. But not on purpose. I would also say to anyone, go the the carnival at the SECC, cause it's ace. And you can win a shiny new majorettes baton, and drive little kids insane. Bluddy grate. I have also aquired (thanks to the darling Johnjohn) a very nice Mopatop toy from the kids tv programme Mopatop's Shop. He says three different things, and he's grate to set off in the really quiet section of bookshops. Also, if you ever ride moving stairs sitting down, then make sure you get up before it levelts out at the bottom, or you will die. Or get a sore bottom. My mother hates my boyfriend. She says he's a Satanist. He's not, really. He just looks like one. I quite like him, now I'm done being afraid of him. I don't think he'll be cruel to me or dump me just yet. I give him at best three weeks before he gets sick of me. Any longer than that, and I'll have to wake up, or get him seen to by a head doctor. Have you ever seen Dark Crystal? It's the one with all the puppets, and the hero in it is called Jen, like me, only he's a boy. It's a really good film, I watched it for the first time in ages yesterday. Jen's girlfriend, Kiera, or something, has this little pet fluffy thing. And, although it's a really good film anyway, the only part I really enjoyed was the litlle fluffy brown thing, called Fizgig. It was so obvious that they'd ran out of budget when they got to making it, because it's really odd looking, but it's the best thing ever. I go into fits of giggles every time I see it run about and do stuff in the film. I would buy the video just to see the wee brown fluffy thing called Fizgig open it's mouth and make it's wee noises, and then jump around and annoy people, and be cute and bouncy and try to be aggressive, but just be odd and funny. I have had the Fishyclap music book for a whole week now. But I always feel kind of bad about playing B&S songs, or any band's songs really (unless they're a rally rubbish band with only one or two good songs), because if I don't do the songs as good as they've been recorded which I never will, then I get all embarassed, because I'm making a mess of them. And then, if you can play them and sing them exactly right, then it's silly, because that's what they're there to do. But I still have fun playing them, and singing them, as long as not very many people can hear me. I'll shut up now, and stop annoying you, Hugs, Jen +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: London under the snow and me drunk under the pub table
by elenita99 04 Jan '01

04 Jan '01

Hello friends, And happy happy happy new year to you all. I mean it. The star of my 2001 was great thank you. I was up to cold London (it was snowing! I swear!) but as soon as I arrived I got to the pooob to get drunk so I was not cold, really. Plus I had hugs and all so I was all warm inside! I met lots of American listees (well at least three), that was nice...I hope to be able to scan some pics soon so you can all see how drunk we looked. The New Year's Eve party was great, thanks to Mr Trousers and his flatmates who were lovely hosts...I won't be bothered about mentioning everybody who was there cos Carsmile just did, ha!Sorry to everyone I've been hugging all night because I was drunk, I hope you were not scared :) It was looots of fun though. Except for the morning after where my head seemed to weight around 10 kilos (no I don't know how much is that in English pounds) but well... I spent lots of time in the pubs during those four days, explaining to English people how to prepare snails and why red shoes are better than black shoes. Oh well that is the funny bit about the cultural gap I guess :) On anoter note, Santa has been good to me, but well I have been good all year so it's only fair enough really :) And I had lots of chocolate too. I hope you all had fun and pressies and hugs. That is all the good things about Christmas time. I also hope that your year started alright and that you don't have lots of stupid exams like me. That is the price for being a student, probably. Happy New Year once more!

Sinister: It's a jolly holiday with you, dear

Grrrr! GRRRRRRR! GGGRRRRAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!! Wussies? My lovely London cabbie got me to Stansted on time, in spite of closed motorways, crashes and general skiddiness on the roads, but the fecking Scots couldn't manage to send a plane for me to get on for a whole ten hours! TEN HOURS! Southern wussies indeed? I read the paper, I finished my book, I beat my top score on Nokia Snake, I ate chocolate, I hovered around the internet cafe waiting for an end to their service outage so I could go in chat (it remained closed all day) and I got very, very, very, very bored, I ate more chocolate. Hrumph. I made it up there in the end though, so here are the obligatory hellos to fecking Scots and others: Neil and Ailsa (thank you for staying in the pub with until I arrived), Mark and Vicky (thank you for not snowballing me) and Crazy Calumn. Also Gav 'n' Jo, who might see this Yoko the cat who won't. Unfortunately, I seem to have returned to London on the day that Carey, Ree, Martin, Julie and Phil went to Scotland but maybe I'll see some of you when you come back. Snow does lovely things, doesn't it? As the sun began to set on Friday, we were climbing up to the top of the Necropolis and looking out across Glasgow. Yellow light glimmered on the faces of the tombstones and the snow grew rosy. I took far too many photographs. We saw far too many other people taking photographs. I did not fall on my arse on the way back down. Of course, by New Year's Eve, a thick, brown sludge had replaced the powdery whiteness and sharp edges emerged from soft contours, as always happens in the end. It rained and I got wet and started sneezing uncontrollably (I'm still at it four days later), but it didn't matter because we ate Jelly Bellies and recreated Baxendale songs and made the floor shake when we danced and sang along with the Proclaimers on telly and text messaged and painted the boys' nails and and stayed up all night. I think I might have said that I'll do karaoke next time I go to Glasgow. Oh dear. The next day was spent in bed, watching Mary Poppins and polishing off a box of Celebrations, which is about the best possible way you could spend New Year's Day, don't you think? Oh dear, I really don't like coming back to work in January. Juicy Lucy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Sinister: Husker Du Du Du, Captain Beefheart, ELO
by Stephen Hewitt 04 Jan '01

04 Jan '01

Dahn! Dahn! Dahn! DA! DA! Bumbum bumbum bumbum bumbum Well I don't know about you, but I feel like a large black obelisk. (really this is just an excuse to see how many times I can get the word "bum" into one post) So, back to work, hurrah, kinda. I had quite a quiet xmas and then a very sini-full new year. On New years eve eve after an horrendous 8 hour coach journey (and it's the last time i'm doing that, i can tell you, it's back to the trains for me, at least you can smoke and bouze on them) i met up with (deep breath) ree joolie phil martin rich trousers hopkins ken paul elena and carey for a couple(ish) of pints and we talked to honeyboobles on the phone too. Then on new years eve, the above peeps were joined by mrs carsmile sez pam mike the pinefox dave sally geoff lixi erica (and some other ppl who aren't/haven't been on the list, yes apparently they do exist) and by starry and velocity in spirit, and as ken and phil have previously mentioned a jolly good time was had by all, dancing, singing, drinking etc. I was walking around with a really stoopid grin on my face, as it was possibly the most fun i've ever had on NYE (and not just the bouze), which is usually anti-climactic and/or far far too pissed, and it yet again confirmed my belief that this list is super special lovely and I kind of don't know where i'd be without it (sorry, is this too gushy? oh well, what the hell, i love you all darlings). I've scanned in my new york photos and they are at http://www.geocities.com/carsmilesteve as per usual. OK going now, i hope 2001 brings each one of you everything you want xoxo CarsmileSteve bum +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: 2001
by David White 03 Jan '01

03 Jan '01

Happy New Year, So it's 2001 now and still no hover cars or people living on the moon, pah! VOTES There's still time to send your votes for best albums, songs, band and gigs and album you regret buying etc from 2000. to me and my website as I try to compile the B&S fans best things of the year 2000. Either send them direct to me at david(a)belleandsebastian.freeserve.co.uk with the subject line 2000. or alternatively visit my website www.belleandsebastian.freeserve.co.uk, click on the link to the VOTES page then choose BEST OF 2000 and complete the form. Please note for those using AOL or Compuserve, the vote form on the site will not send the results to me so you'll need to send an email with your results (that applies to those of you who have already sent results from AOL or Compuserve already cos your results were lost into the ether somewhere between your computer and mine!). NEW CDS I bought two new CDs over Christmas time, Magnetic Fields '69 Love Songs' and Badly Drawn Boy's album. My feeling about both is that they are both too long and that the good songs are kind of lost amongst the filler material. But the good bits are really good although to be fair I haven't really had the chance to properly listen to them all. 87 songs are a hell of a lot to listen to all at once! Anyway send the votes (please!!!) ASAP...

Sinister: I need a holiday...
by Gardiner, Stuart 03 Jan '01

03 Jan '01

Happy New Year, folks. Only 355 days left until Christmas... Well, happy happy joy joy, this year was my first ever White Christmas. Just. A small patch of white in the garden when I got up, and a few brief flurries during the afternoon. Still, we even got some proper snow a few days later (complete with the usual stories on the news about how the South was brought to a standstill by half an inch of snow, without mentioning that up North life went on as usual despite their being feet of the stuff. Southern wussies...) And in something of a record, I managed 9 days at home with only 2 major arguments with my parents. A success all round then, really... New Year was a bit shit though really, since the friend who was coming to see me in Nottingham couldn't make it because of the weather, and it was too late to sort out anything else to do, so I stayed at home and got drunk and sulked. And just when I thought she might be the one to answer my prayers and end my eternal singlehood... So then, is everyone else enjoying their first day back at work as much as I am?

by Kin WOO 03 Jan '01

03 Jan '01

hey there sinisterinies Hope everyone of y'all had a FANTABULOUS Crimbo and New Year.What did everyone get up to?We had a quiet Christmas-my sister had gone back to Malaysia for work experience in her engineering course and we didn't even put up our Christmas tree. We had oyster omelette, glutinous rice and tiger prawns-unconventional huh?:) For new year, had a pretty quiet one. had a pre-pre new year bash and didn't do much on actual eve. on the 1st jan we had another feast of sushi and oyster omelette and oriental roasted chicken-yum! Am saving up all my erm party spirit for the end of this year when I will be in London-yay!!!!:) On a more technical note, does anyone on this list know how to burn songs from tape onto CD? I just got a CD burner and I am dying to transfer some gigs I have on cassette onto CD, so I can listen to them again and again without fear of the tape spoiling or what have you. I know this can be done, I just have no idea how to go about doing it. Plus, I am absolutely useless at technicalese, so if someone, anyone, could explain it simply (as if to a child!) I would be eternally grateful! Later pop kittens, "What's the deal?
