Sinister: bad dream #2
by caleb ben moore 15 Oct '01

15 Oct '01

i keep having bad dreams about the world dying and my family dying and so on.... they always end with me sobbing and hugging my dead or dying brother or sister.....it's all so horrible. this world is so completely out of control. honestly everyone should just go out and get stoned. something relaxing......maybe valium...or exstacy even......i don't know, could we put it in the water supply?.......i think i'm developing an ulcer. i work in a mailroom at an accounting firm, and all we've talking about is how to handle dangerous or suspicious materials......this morning we got a letter from lagos (in africa) marked "suspect material" i didn't know what to make of it....it was completely flat and felt empty......but i said (to quote my native ancestors) "today is a good day to die" and i snipped it open....and all it was was a money-making scam thing from nigeria. but it made me think very seriously for a moment about my imminent death......and now i'm really freaked out and shaking and i feel like i'm going to throw up. very panicky. i'm filled with a very unsafe feeling. and i know that people all around the world have felt this and are feeling this....all those poor people in afghanistan......nobody should feel this......nobody should die......god, i'm crying now.....i can't write anymore now, sorry.......i love you all out there, please be friendly to someone today.....help someone somehow..............caleb ben ===== And when I'm lying in my bed I think about life and I think about death and neither one particularly appeals to me and if the day came when I felt a natural emotion I'd get such a shock I'd probably lie in the middle of the street and die I'd lie down and die ------morrissey __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: The tears are welling in my eyes again...
by Spike 15 Oct '01

The subject is a Nick Cave quote, and in no way relates to this post. Well... Lola wrote: i have been very embarassing yesterday, i cried at a public place. The last time I cried in public was in a nightclub. I then cried in the kebab shop afterwards. It's a good way to discover who your friends really are. CarsmileSteve wrote: There was much dancing and possibly even more flirting (don't mention the mell st curse) Why? What'll happen to me if I do? MELL ST CURSE! (Hang on, what am I doing? I don't even know what this curse is.) Anyone care to explain what the Mell St curse is? Astrid wrote: IŽve been thinking of when i have kids, which I hope I will some day. I was imagining me driving my kids to school, and I would sit there, listening to B&S, and my kids would go "MUM, please, not ben and sebastian again!" "Belle and Sebastian, theyŽre called Belle and Sebastian. And whatŽs wrong with them? TheyŽre grate" "NO; theyŽre horrible, turn it off, itŽs rubbish. I HATE Belle and Sebastian!!!!!" "You know you donŽt mean that!" "Yes I do, theyŽre just stupid cardigan clad people who made music for other outcasts and geeks and people who wear cardigans!" "ItŽs my car, IŽll decide what we are going to listen to!" *Sings along to Le pastie de la bourgeoise, and canŽt do it very well* *Kid sulks* I've already decided that my kids WILL like B&S. And Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. She also wrote: I mean, think about it. What kind of world would it be if your kids would think "being a rebel" or just making your parents angry, would be listening to S Club 7 or Steps or something like that. Ahhh! I get all panicked thinking of it. I know there will be one day when I come to realise that my kids think of me as a nerd who listens to nerdy popmusic. God only knows what my kids will have to do to rebel. As I'm quite easy going, they would have to become cavepeople or something. And: P.S Anyone ever thought of naming their kids after something B&S, or just with like a favourite caracter in a book or a writer or a person in a movie or something. Or is it just me being sick? Take care. That's cruel. Actually, in that case... If you go to http://www.h2g2.com there is a guide entry on how not to name your kids. Take care. Will Spike == "There's no demon in there.

Sinister: sweet, sweet sounds
by Hannah Brown 15 Oct '01

15 Oct '01

I am afraid this post is not B&S related because my attention has been turned elsewhere. The Tindersticks at the Albert Hall on friday with a FULL ochestra, consisting of 15 violins, 3 violas, 4 cellos, sax, trumpet, a lovely warm sounding hammond and the mighty Stuart Staples. The night was everso slightly ruined by my wonderfully happy friend with her beautiful, beautiful husband to be, but everything else was perfect. If you have not heard of them you should most definitely take some time out to enjoy them. They have the most amazing range of sound from manic, melodromatic, sweeping violin to tiny scratchy quiet moments and it's all brought together with the deeply sexy sound of Stuart (who i can only describe as sounding like vic reeves doing his club style-ee, but don't let that put you off). The sound quailty was fantastic, it resinated all around the hall and it felt like i was dipping into a warm jacuzi. For those few hours the only thing that mattered was whether they would play "she's gone" and they did. I came away feeling as if i had had a full body massage. I even managed to record half of it and bar the occasional sound of me going "wwoooaaa" at the beginning of each song, it is great. On a small B&S note, can we have a winter meet up in london, we could sip hot chocolate and exchange cough candy twists? Any ideas? keep on smiling, hannahxxxx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: the 'mix tape battle' saga continues
by chris perriman 15 Oct '01

15 Oct '01

hi everyone! well it seems there are absolutely *no* christophers on sinister but me. i thought i'd have amassed an army of them by now. we would have had sweets as our surnames (me as chris pez obviously) but no-one wants to play on my swings as it were. so it seems the only thing i can do is resign as head of the christophers and defect to another team. but which one? i have been surrounded by rachels all my life (sister, ex-girlf, knew a couple of them at school, etc...) and i don't know any wills, also the rachels team has been amassing honourary rachels like nobody's business so i think i must fight for equality and pledge my aliegance to the flag of will. i'm thinking maybe Pez Tarragon (HW) or Pez Mint (HW) if i'm accepted and survive the rigorous training schedule that is. but my mix tape abilities are superb and i'd be an ideal candidate to support the wills to the top! So ¡rachels! up for a fight then? right, outside now! hee hee Pez* _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: re:porting bach

The Geezer: > > I trust you will all be Reporting Back on the > London-Indie-USA shenanigans. > I hear they raised 1800 pounds! Not bad for such a bunch of > tight-arsed > bastards. Indeed Mr Miller, £1752 was made on the evening, which will be winging it's way to the red cross v soon, and the sinister massive was terribly well represented. Those spotted included (v deep breath) dmatt, capt marvo, rich, the kaiser, ms vicky and her lovely new haircut, lucy96, cabbage, ben apps, photojenni, dansonhatcher, lixi, starbar, jimpurpletrousers, gingerfox, elena99 (no catchphrase noted), and Mr Kenneth P Chu. Treacle sent her apologies due to being afflicted by coldthrax. The usual apols to anyone i've missed, but i did start drinking at three... rat-tailled jim was there also and lixi DREW ON HIM!! also to anyone else that was there, did the L we drew on you magically seep into your skin by saturday morning, cos mine did... There was much dancing and possibly even more flirting (don't mention the mell st curse) and what can only be described as an "interesting" selection of music. I've certainly never heard songs from bugsy malone, anthrax, the smiths, daft punk, wedding present, godawful pub rock and b&s all in one nite before... So a big thank you to everyone who came along, and watch out for our follow-up extravaganza in about six months time, we're aiming to make this a permanent fixture in the calendar :) xoxo CarsmileSteve +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: tears on my pillow*
by fiona 15 Oct '01

15 Oct '01

hey sinistereenies, its been so long, so many things have happened, you won't remember me, but i remember you, twas not so long ago you broke my heart in two... but don't worry i'm not about to say anything topical. so since we last spoke many months ago i've found the lever on the chairs in the computer room that makes them go up and down, so you can fool people that a pooter is free because they can't see you around the other side of the monitor because you are too low down. oh the hillarity. i've also embarked upon a mission to try every cheese and funny looking sausage at the deli counter in safeways. i'm currently eating a stripy cheese made of five different kinds of cheese stuck together. its a riot of flavour in every mouthful. someone mentioned the strokes. only joking, i wouldn't really go there. except to say that we did some flyers for our last highly successful "most diverse indie night in manchester" (the next one being tomorrow, tues at the phoenix £3 if anyone's interested) featuring the ramones and one of our friends insisted on confusing them with the strokes repeatedly. now i don't know about you, but i can't see that the two look terribly alike..? someone did however say "ballboy" the other day, and suggested that only scottish people would like them. wrong! i like them and i'm not the slightest bit scottish, well a tiny bit, distantly somewhere in my family history, but not so you'd notice. in my absense it seems that no-one has been continuing the irn-bru vs redbull battle. hmm... looks like we lost then, but http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/worldofirnbru is still up there if anyone has anything to say on the matter. oh, i know its a long time ago now, but some people wrote about being on the beach in scarborough after the b+s gig there in june. i was there too!! yey, can i admit though, that i wasn't really sure what i thought about the members of the band that i met. perhaps it was a post gig thing, or perhaps it was just because i fell in the sea and got wet (not a good thing to at 1am when you're wearing denim) but... oh nevermind, i'm sounding silly now. however, i did find out the best thing about having a posh phone that you can record stuff on in a sort of dictaphone stylee. i now have loads of 30 second snippets of live b+s that i can carry in my pocket. yum. must go, i won't leave it so long next time, love and megabeans, fiona. *guess who watched a retrospective of kylie videos on itv2 last night. http://clubindigo.net +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Glissards Progressifs du Reynard-des-Pins
by Peter Miller 15 Oct '01

15 Oct '01

Hello, I am the ghost of Troubled Joe, Speaking of which, whilst wandering around a Cure-like forest of listening posts the day before yesterday I happened upon the new LP by Tori Amos. It features a cover version of Lloyd Cole's classic "Rattlesnakes" song, from the LP of the same name. I had a listen to it, but I was a bit underwhelmed really. Tori Amos has slowed it down and eradicated that nice jingle-jangle that gave the original its charm. What's more, it sounds like an American (or Canadian or whatever she is) pretending to be a Debyshire boy pretending to be American (or wanting to be American or whatever it was). But... it's a good job Lloyd did go American, I can't imagine Tori Amos covering the song if it had been full of references to Matlock Bath and Buxton. Of course the really great news is that Lloyd will probably be able to record a new album with the proceeds. Or at the very least it will keep him in bubbly gum for a couple of years. It's like when Guns'n'Roses recorded "The Spaghetti Incident" and suddenly old punks from Huddersfield all had season tickets to the municipal baths and really big Scalextric layouts. Laura Llew, I really did unsubscribe in disgust, you know. I travelled to a mystical timezone, but I missed my Ken and I soon came home. As for me still posting, that's complete nonsense. I stopped that ages ago. I trust you will all be Reporting Back on the London-Indie-USA shenanigans. I hear they raised 1800 pounds! Not bad for such a bunch of tight-arsed bastards. I'm joking of course. Did Elenita99 go, and if so, what was her slogan for the evening?

Sinister: hold your hand in shame and cry your life away
by Lola Monnet 14 Oct '01

14 Oct '01

hello. i have been very embarassing yesterday, i cried at a public place. i travelled to the cinema to watch a film called le fabuleux destín d'amélíe poulaín, it was a story about a girl who grew up with herself and no one else, and she grew up with a lot of different ideas about the world and she likes to help the others around her to make their lives improve. while i was watching the film i was beginning to cry, very slowly. and then during the middle of the film a person told amélíe that she is helping all these other people when is she going to sort out her own life, and she started crying, and i started crying too. growing up with no one else can make someone very afraid, afraid of speaking with anybody or getting close to people. even although that is what you dream about doing every night, to be connected with another person, someone you can trust. although sometimes you can forget about everything when you keep yourself busy it always comes back to you at night, when you sleep, when you watch television about people being close. amélíe finds someone she can be close with in the end, maybe one day i will too, or maybe i will just carry on dreaming. i don't really know why i have just written all of this to you. lola. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
