Sinister: scooby do/be/do
by Sam Walton 28 Oct '01

28 Oct '01

Hello. It's a lazy Sunday afternoon, and Sinister seems a perfect thing to do/be. Rachel Fruitloop wins the prize for most referential Sinister post ever. You win a year's supply of ">" signs. Amy Apple Jacks mentioned Hallowe'en parties. I went to one last night, at Feather-Boa's house. It was fun. People were dressed in black with black nail polish and all the rest of it. List Lurkers Gina and Mr Hallifax were both in attendance, and there was at least one ex-member there too. I didn't see F-B. By all accounts she spent most of the night hugging her toilet. On Thursday there was a small-scale Sinister picnic for most of the York Sinister Massive. It was fun, although it wasn't really a picnic, more 5 people sitting in somebody's bedroom, drinking beer and eating Party Rings and Jelly Babies. We all went round to F-B's house and watched all the B&S videos and their appearance on Top Of The Pops. Gina provided the vid of them on The Tube, and we all sat round being twee. Especially twee was Mr Chris Jones, aka Mummy I've Grazed My Knee, who made plenty of baffling comments about various aspects of this fine parish. MIGMK took detailed minutes of the whole evening, so I'll leave him to fill in any blanks. Rob Brennan mentioned the new Pulp album. It is indeed fab, and everybody should buy it. At risk of sounding like Wobbly Taperecordings Inc I'll continue on the "Good Records" theme. "Versus" by the Kings Of Convenience is also fantastic, although people should buy "Quiet Is The New Loud" first. "Drukqs" by the Aphex Twin is unpronouncable (I'm of the opinion it should be said "Drug Use") but utterly madly wonderous, and "My Father My King" by Mogwai is just them showing off, but excellently so. Anyway, not much left to say. Wrap up warm, you crazy kids - it's only getting colder and darker from now until February... love Asm.x ================= "He's strictly a pain in the ass, but he certainly has a good vocabulary" - Holden Caulfield _________________________________________________________________ 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: toast,ken livingstone and sleazy antiques dealers...
by Desmond Torpey 28 Oct '01

28 Oct '01

hello there... ..hmmm...i seem to be posting less and less these days...i just cant keep up with you crazy cats at the moment...being unemployed takes up so much of my time..there is sleep to be had, toast to be eaten and delightful daytime television to watch..paticularly 'cheers' and 'bargain hunters' which i seem to have developed rather a taste for...the sleazy old presenter just makes me giggle every time i see him...a combination of grey mullet, orange skin and 'busy' hands which are always strategically placed on the elderly women contestants backsides..are all antiques dealers like this?...i really need a job quite soon...i may be losing my sanity.... ...on the subject of 'alone again or', i saw this peformed in bournemouth by our heroes and can testify that it was a brave attempt at a beautiful song...a little clumsy but there you go...and leading on from this, 'waking up to us' sounds a little Love-like to my ears as well...its also a bit more downbeat than i remember hearing at the said bournemouth gig (isnt this flowing well today?) but still pretty *wow*...i think somebody else mentioned this too but was jo whiley just being confusing when she said they had some dates coming up after she played the single?...she may have meant the dates in japan but it seems a little strange..she was probably just being daft...i like jo whiley...she makes terrible television music chat shows and her face looks like its constructed from some kind of dough...but she seems nice enough... ..i also returned to oxford to see hefner on thursday which was just fantastic...i felt a bit sorry for them becuase it was clear that most people thought the new stuff was rubbish and only wanted to hear the old classics...they only played about five new songs and bashed out about ten old ones in a superfunjumpalong style...especially 'the sad witch' and 'hymn for the cigarettes' and a great time was had by all...i dont really think that 'dead media' was that terrible but maybe they shouldnt go so crazy with the new toys next time and remember to write some lovely songs like they used to.... ...all this mixtaping is mighty confusing...i cant remember which will is which and whether rachel is a cornflake or a fruitloop so i'll stay out of it and just await the results...i've got �10 on the dastardly mr chu making a late entry and stealing the title himself with his army of fellow kens (livingstone,branagh,clarke etc)..my what a mixtape team that would be...anyhow..i've rambled enough...thank you for your time :) ta ta...

Sinister: meepmeep
by Kirsten Kenyon 28 Oct '01

28 Oct '01

it's funny, a sunday morning, driving down the street...leslie came over yesterday. she thought it might be fun to do something for halloween...nothing much. we went to the diner and had some coffee and she had a cheeseburger, and we were listening to something in her car and i asked her what it was, and she said something that sounded like "oz sumate these" and i said "what?" and she said it again and i asked again and this happened a few more times and finally i just gave up and said "oh. hm." it was really confusing, too, because i knew all of the songs. later on when i went to get my bag out of the trunk, i found the case for the cd and felt very very silly. leslie's the one who lives in the castle house. it's actually called "the castle," and apparently it's one of the oldest houses in the area....built in 1890, which is quite old for the usa. there are lions carved over the windows, and they're creepy. leslie told us a scary story about the house, but it wasn't scary so much as it was sad. us...yes, melissa came over as well, and asked me for a cigarette so i gave her one, and then the whole time she smoked it she talked about how much she hates smoking and said "dammit kirsten, you're a bad influence." it's not like i had offered a cigarette....ach. well. we drank some....and i found some shimmery blue powder and we started having fun....leslie got out shiny grey garbage bags, and we found glitter and tape....and within fifteen minutes we were three mod spacewomen, and i kept saying "meepmeep" and melissa kept walking with her arms at her sides and her hands out at a ninety degree angle, and leslie kept taking photographs. we went down the street to a place called halisco's, and there was a boy with wings that nearly touched the ground. and we saw the hamburglar, too, and a lot of girls who seem to use halloween as an excuse to wear very little clothing. the line for the rocky horror picture show stretched all the way around the block last night...we thought for a minute about going, but leslie's friend from class who works there would have spotted us in a second and made us do not-so-nice things on the stage. so. halisco's. we ordered a pitcher of margaritas and they were the color of ecto-cooler. stopped across the street for cigarettes, and a woman poked her head into the station and said "what are you s'posed to be?" and laughed. i think melissa said something. i think i said "meep" very quietly. now it is 10:00 AM and i've just gotten home from leslie's, and i have to go open the shop. oh this is going to be a swell day, i can already tell. i'm never going to get all of this glitter off. byebye love kirsten oz sumate these...sheesh.

Sinister: rad, a borring uneventful post...
by Katia913＠aol.com 28 Oct '01

28 Oct '01

Hey All!!! How are all my Sinister friends? I'm in a really really good mood, because this weekend has been so rad! I got the hair cut, and because of it was mentioned in two posts. Thanks Rachel, you always make me feel special by mentioning me! I think we all feel that way about you! Also to Johan, who mentioned me when he talked about his own beautiful haircut. I'm sure its wonderful. Also, I went to the worst wedding ever, for my uncle, who is so phony (I sound like Holden) and pretends to be someone so nice, and yet has been putting my Dad and Brother down his whole life. I hate that face they all put on for the crowd. And you all know what im talking about. Thirdly, I think that Rachel Cornflake's idea stated, "I'm starting an imaginary club for Sinister kids. Those of us 20 and under. We'll embrace each other in our underage bliss. I just like to imagine frollicing with Astrid and Jenowl," is grand. I'm sixteen, can I join your club, although not as famous as all of you... Around that same subject, I am so angry to be in the Under 18 crowd, there are so many good people to see and I can't see them. Grrrr! Well, I'm off to work. Paycheck is five days away boys and girls. (and the Cat Stevens boy set is two days away, I know where my cash is going!!!) bye!!!

Sinister: There's a portrait in a big room
by Robert Brennan 28 Oct '01

28 Oct '01

Hello... So I 'did' the National Portrait Gallery on Saturday. Julian Opie's minimal prints of The Blur are there in their full-sized glory. I studied them closely looking for any signs of blemish or process. Nothing. Extraordinary. Perversely, I bought a book of landscape photography in the bookshop with some beautiful black & white shots of rural France by Henri Cartier-Bresson. Lovely. Remaining with the Br*tp*p theme of a couple of paragraphs ago, I bought the new album by The Pulp. It's playing right now. First impressions are good: The Walker-enhanced arrangements are very Pulp; sometimes almost too familiar with shades of I-Spy and Something Changed 2.0 creeping in here and there. Jarvis sounds more political and angrier. A few years ago he 'didn't want no trouble', now he wants to 'fight to the death for the right to live your life'. Lordy. Rich wrote: "I read 'the great gatsby' earlier this week. a guy I know insists it is about an escapologist." Which made me laugh but it could be worth a thesis too. Archel no-toast said of semi-colons: "a tutor once told me that i was the only student she knew who knew how to use one correctly," which floored me cos I regard semi-colons as a grammatical offside rule; ask people to explain it and they start confidently, then hesitate before backtracking and starting again. Did I do that right by the way, Archel? Pinefox mentioned me in his last post so I guess it's ok to mention him now. There.

Sinister: I trowe he were a gelding or a mare
by David Moore 28 Oct '01

28 Oct '01

Hi All, The more astute reader will tell from that subject that I started this post a very long time ago. As it has had bits added to it over a long period of time it is disjointed & rambling. Sorry. BELLE & SEBASTIAN REHEARSALS Like Ernie I have been wondering how the band rehearse for shows. If they only play about 9 or 10 of the same songs consistently at each performance, and then another 10 or so selected from about 20 possible numbers, how do they rehearse? Do they practise all of them at each rehearsal, or only a few? The songs always sound tight, so maybe they practice all 30 (ish). And what about the "extra" songs played just once at individual shows? I believe that the audience requests played during the UK tour were spontaneous unrehearsed performances. I wonder why they changed to playing songs specific to each city during the North American tour. I'd love to hear B&S play Don't Fear The Reaper. The 7" of that is the only record I have ever had stolen from me & I miss it :( That "Waking Up To Us" cover. Some people have referred to the "girl" in the photo, so I guess not everyone realises that it is Sarah (Martin) Tina Coffield: the guest in your http://home.earthlink.net/~mozzystars/_uimages/onstage_9-5_2.jpg "Stuart, Isobel, & Guest 9/5" photo is Evie Sands. ANTMUSIC I haven't seen B&S live for what seems ages now <sniff> but did make two gigs the week before last, neither drawing very large audiences. Monday night went to the (tiny/noisy) 12 Bar Club at the invitation of Mr Harding, *efner's drummer (& best singwriter) & Archel's 1st sub. Ant only played five songs, 2 old, 2 middling & 1 new, but he & his minimalist inter song banter ("This one's about girls, stuff like that" ... "This is, er, very sweet") were great & the new song may be the best tune he has written, so checkout www.antpop.com for details of the release of his album. SCOTTISH GUITAR CUB PACK Employing tried & trusted Sinister techniques to win stuff off Radio 1 Cabbage & I got to attend the live broadcast of Mogwai's Peel Session the following Wednesday. Maida Vale studio 3 again, Bing Crosby's last broadcast commemorative plaque on the wall, free beer, Peelie taking the piss out of the audience & Man U. Stuart Braithwaite is tiny!! No longer plump, sporting a scruffy beard & a ski hat pulled down over his ears. He was a sweet little pixie when I thanked him after the gig as well, very polite, not at all what I expected. They played for about 35 minutes ending with an astonishing climax to My Father, My King with Stuart, Barry & John tearing screams of feedback out of their guitars with their FX pedals (SB won, 12 pedals). Good to be able to actually see what they were up to whilst playing, and without the deafening PA for once. Stuart bounces up & down on tiptoe when getting carried away on guitar. I now know with terrifying certainty what he looks like whilst having a wank. In fact after the climax of one number he had to adjust himself behind his guitar: whether tangled up after too much jumping up & down or as a result of peaking in time with the song I was luckily not able to determine. Radio reception was lousy in my house that night, so anyone who got a good recording of the session please get in touch & maybe we can arrange a swap. CINERAMA Last week I only made it out once (with Sally) to The Mean Fiddler for Mr Gedge & Co. Famous popstars spotted amongst the audience included Pines1 - I would have much rather seen her & Pines2 on the stage than in front of it. Cinerama are always good fun & David gives good tune, despite becoming another band playing their old band's material: the Wedding Present's Queen Of Outer Space, Dare, Spangle, Brassneck were aired, encouraging the sad sight of a load of grizzled, fat, ugly, balding, middle-aged men moshing. The fact that I was still in my suit from work luckily prevented me joining them. The last time I heard the first of those TWP songs played live was the 2nd December, 1992. Cambridge Corn Exchange, the first gig that Sally & I went to together, fact fans. After the (recent) show I think I got away with accusing the Gedge of plagiarising the Twin Peaks soundtrack for new single Health & Efficiency. HOW MANY RECORDS DOES A MAN NEED? I don't want to talk about Hefner's pooh record either (maybe Darren should let others in the band have more of a say in the songwriting. Not always a good idea in bands :) but maybe its appropriate for them at the moment) but I would recommend the new Gorky's album, How I Long To Feel That Summer In My Heart. <swirls, sniffs> Yes, I'm getting The Everly Brothers, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Gene Clark, other Byrds, Neil Young, George Harrison, The Eagles*. Light bodied but some songs have a long finish. Nice. * Not all these are bad as far as I'm concerned. Ask Ms Brooker. RE-MAKE/RE-MODEL However none of these are as good as the new Live At Leeds, with added full-length version of Tommy, though. Brilliant 60's Who. (Even if recorded in 1970.) "Fornicate ..." "Whassat, Pete? I thought it was a little station outside Chipping Ongar". The Who play more of interest per song during this performance than most bands do in a career. I'm such a sucker I just had to buy that 3rd format. I also bought the expanded* Lets Get It On because it was incorrectly priced in the V Shop. Tee Hee. Bloody marvellous - worth it for the arrangements & playing alone. And you get Marvin Gaye singing too! *I was going to make some smutty remarks about Marvin keeping it up for the entire length of the album but 1) Peter beat me to it & 2) the sleeve notes of this deluxe edition respectfully inform us that MG suffered from premature ejaculation, he apparently informing Smokey Robinson that "I can just look at a naked woman and come" I can't find a copy of the interview that dealt with the Keep On Getting It On subject but seem to recall now that the amazing stamina was implied by the interviewer & just agreed to ny Marvin. I'M SOFTER THAN MY FACE WOULD SUGGEST Apologies for going on about records but there's just so many good ones araound at the moment. The Camera Obscura album, Biggest Bluest Hi-Fi will be out in a couple of weeks, see http://theparkandride.co.uk/parkandride.html or http://www.andmoresound.co.uk/ & it will be bloody great. OK, last one! Just to mention that another reason to check out The Dudley Corporation's record The Lonely World of ... is that it features not only listee Chris Leonard (of The Sleeka Corporation) but also both ListMums (!) (of The Gorgeousness Corporation) on backing vocals. I hope Gordon finds a full-time job soon. MELL ST. CURSE Carsmile, is it something that afflicts the residents of all the houses on that road, or is inflicted by them? DINOSAUR JR. The dinosaur Kaiser Mark is *so* little that he looks like an egg. Did I mention The Pinefox yet? Should I disagree with him about Alone Again Or? No, I wouldn't want him to turn into another Sinister cult figure. So maybe I should namedrop Shawn Krueger instead, & bless his little archivist's soul. Thanks for bringing the covers list up to date. Love, Wobbly Taperecordings Inc.

Sinister: Just suppose I'm juxtaposed with you...
by Rachel fruitloop 28 Oct '01

28 Oct '01

HELOOOOOOO SINISTERINES! You may notice that I have added "fruitloop" to my name on this e-mail account, to lessen the confusion between myself and Rachel O.J... I have found that if I lose track of reading all of the Sinister posts, that it takes DAYS to sort through them. But I won't let down anyone who is looking for my posts as "Cliff Notes" of sorts (as if anyone would be *waiting* for my post!) So, you know this post is going to be huge, but it covers a lot of things happening in the world of Sinister. You may even find your name mentioned in here! Sheesh, I feel like I'm writing a gossip column!! err, well... anyway, I've divided the comments loosely into topics to heighten your reading pleasure. ************************FAMILY/HOME WOES************************ Hold onto your hat, cunning Andre, I'm mentioning you AGAIN!!! I know what it's like to have annoying roomates. I live with 2 members of my bizarre family, my younger brother and sister (unusual in a different way than yours is!) My sister ROCKS, she is one of my best friends and is obsessed with Super Furry Animals. My brother is another story. It's so odd that since my brother ran off and got married, our household has been so peaceful without him. I never realized how much he took advantage until he left. Andre, I hope you can stick it out until you can move and keep your sanity! Caleb Ben has pissed off his roommate Ballad (Ballad? Shit, I'd probably call him "Livin' On A Prayer," that would really get him mad, of course I'd never know it, would I?!) Well, CB, AKA RAW... I don't envy you. These family/roommate situations get messy sometimes, don't they?! You aren't going to believe that I am about to link this to my bizarro family: Big Stu wrote of a concoction called WKD: "it may be in some way responsible for me feeling as rough as a badger's crotch this morning." I was highly amused by this quote, in fact, I almost put it in the section at the end with my favorite quotes. The reason I really like it, though, is because my paternal grandmother's nickname is "Badger". No lie. She even signs her e-mails to me "Love, Granny Badger" So I found it very amusing that Big Stu woke up feeling as rough as my granny's crotch! *******************MUSIC: TDC-RIP, SFA, B&S********************* There has been quite a bit of mourning on the list over the breakup of The Divine Comedy, mainly from PSI who wrote: "Before I go - good to see you are all paying tribute to TDC in some way or another." I will pay tribute by listening to "Something For The Weekend" which is my favorite Divine Comedy song. Actually, I might not, after what GEOFF had to say: "My hatred of The DC comes from their release of 'Something for the weekend' at the same time as SFA anthem 'Something 4 the weekend'. These records were distinguishable by far more than a numerical word..." OH CRIKIE, I am a dumb American valley girl and I didn't even *think* about the correlation! Super Furry Animals ROCK MY WORLD (thanks to my kid sister)!!! OK I'll pay tribute to the demise of the Divine Comedy by listening to SFA's "Something 4 The Weekend" instead! Anyone else out there still listening to SFA's new album 3 or 4 times a day? Ernie wrote:"And to think that they did �Don�t Fear the Reaper� by Blue Oyster Cult at the Olympia who but nobody has mentioned it! Attendees of shows, please provide us with more reviews if possible!" Yeah, I want to hear more about this, too! I am amazed at how many songs B&S have covered! I'd like to see a list of cover songs that they have played live... does one exist or can we compile one? James the Dancin'-Hatchback wrote about the new "Waking Up To Us":"I think after a few more listen's I'll really like it. Cay pointed out that they seem to be going in a very 60's direction lately and that sounds good to me." I haven't heard it yet, but I am so excited that it's apparently going in that '60's direction, because I REALLY loved "legal Man" for that reason! And Histrianic H wrote: "Yes, I have a new blue fender strat!!!" OHHHH That's grate! Do you name your instruments? I do. I named my car, too. My guitar is named Louise. My car is named Ziggy Stardust! OH, OH - Another "Car Christening" Kirsten Kenyon wrote: "mandee wright is completely rad because she can link oatmeal to the flight of the navigator and also because she just named my car "spacepet." Oatmeal? Flight of The Navigator? What?! Spacepet! A good name for a car! Welcome to Amy in Michigan! Amy wrote: "i'm curious if anyone out there has an mp3 of belle and sebastian doing "alone again or" live. i'm so enchanted with the idea of them doing that song and am dying inside to hear it." And then the PINEFOX (did I just write that? No! It's your imagination!) wrote: "If I had it I would send it to you. Not just a copy, but my copy. It would be a good thing to get rid of. The song is way overrated." AND THEN Amy wrote: "i'll take your invisible "alone again or" off of your hands any day. i love the simple whimsy of the song. sue me." AND THEN THE PINEFOX SUED AMY APPLECORE! Well, not yet. I'm waiting for the next installment!! *bites nails* ***********MIXTAPE BATTLE OF WILLS v. RACHELS v. CHRIS'*********** AMY APPLECORE, you really should consider becoming "Rachel Apple Jacks" I read what you wrote about making a mix tape and I liked what I read. And I LOVE "Alone Again or" and I think I'd LOVE IT EVEN MORE if I heard B&S play it. So if you get a copy of that, let me know! I want to tell ya, well, you don't have to BE a Rachel to be a Rachel, ya know! This is the last call for participants! We will begin at some point next week, so any of you out there who want to participate, please send me a note! I'm talkin' to you, PIDDLEMONKEY!! I think we can manage to come up with a breakfast related name for you as well... hmm... how about "Rachel Griddlemonkey"? Archel Toast wrote: "so, the mix tape battle commences! the rachels have far too much style and charm not to win. (plus we're all sleeping with the judge, obviously. see you later, ken.)" And then Will Spike said : "But we have better puns with our name. Through sheer Will power, we will prevail and prove once and for all where there is a Will, there is a way." You Wills may have better puns with your name, but we Rachels have better BUNS with our name! *wink, nudge* Johan wrote of joining the battle: "i would, but i won't, recusing myself out of geographical considerations. besides, i have a lovely girl called rachel in one of my classes, and no wills, and hence feel obliged to throw my lot in with them, vicariously - i've got grate aim!)" I have one thing to say about that: !VIVA RACHELS! David the Stankin' Cooter wrote: "WILLS VS RACHELS VS CHRISES MIXTAPE CHALLENGE MADNESS Um, I�d love to join in this one as an honorary somethingorother with a humorous nickname, but unfortunately I don�t have a tape deck. If any of you would like me on your team, though, please email me for my postal address. You can then post Ken Chu out to me directly, and I�ll play him some songs round at my place, making sure to swap the CDs over really quickly between songs. It�s the next best thing, I promise you." Ok, David, sounds like a deal! But if there is a pink necktie around the doorknob, come 'round in about an hour (or should we say 2 hours, Mr. "Red Bull" Chu? tee hee!) And for participating in such a proactive way, I think we should call you "Rachel Stankin' Doughnut". Marybeth wrote: "R is for Rachel A is for achel C is for chel H is for hel E is for el L is for l" I nearly lost it when I read that! It's ridiculously funny! Thanks for being our cheerleader, Marybeth! Paul Arathoon wrote: "All of this talk about rachels, wills etc makes me dizzy. It's very confusing." Don't worry Paul, the Rachels are about to erase the confusion by making the BEST MIXTAPE EVER! Jim Gilmer wrote:"I have to say, I don't think I want to be a Rachel or a Will. No, I'm quite happy staying a Jim, sometimes even a James, and very rarely a Jimmy or Jimmy G." How 'bout a Jamie? I love that name. It's sexy. Thanks for complimenting the mix cd you heard that I had made for dear Elise! Even though your vouch for my mixtape prowess doesn't seem to intimidate the Wills, that's ok. We know. *************THE GREAT NURSERY HEIST OF 2001*********************** Welcome to Helen from Brazil who is saw B&S 2 days in a row!!! Caleb Ben has been busy organizing his translation game with Helen and the gang! Welcome to Tina, who is just out of the nursery and posted her site link with lots of cool B&S pictures--including 2 of me and Dustin Smartly-dressed dancing onstage with them and looking like dorky demons! Whooo! Thanks Tina! I am so happy to have proof that it wasn't all a dream! Also welcome to Jason from Ottawa!! And hello to Erin from Seattle (but California by trade!)! And Alex in NY!!! And Hello Eric in NY! And Fabio and Maira in Brazil, who got to see B&S!!!! I want to know how you all managed to escape from the nursery without my dear sweetie Ryan!! Ryan, were you busy playing video games and missed your chance to climb over the little plastic gate? AND A HUGE WELCOME TO KENNETH P Y CHU! What a coincidence that you share the same name and same town of residence with the legendary listee, Ken Chu! I hope no Rachels wind up in the wrong Ken Chu's bed in the process of trying to swing the mixtape battle our way! ;) *****************LOVE, ROMANCE, & LACK THEREOF***************** JohnJohn wrote a lovely observation of two birds he saw: "but even the birds� love could be shattered; there�s always competition." But you could be the better pecker, so don't despair! And Lindsey wrote: "oops, i thought i loved you, but i was just kidding?" Whoa, that's so appropriate for some events in my life lately, too. What a joke, huh?! Linds, I know what it's like soul sistah! And Rachel O.J. had a birthday, but unfortunately had her heart broken Thursday when she found another girl in her boyfriend's bed (this sounds all too familiar to me. See my birthday at the end of last month!!) Rach wrote: "he said "i really did love you" did he HAVE to say that? as if it didn't hurt enough." Again, Rach, this is ringing SO true to me!!! Don't you just want to say you're a self-indugent prick, if you really did love me you would have been a man and told the truth in the first place instead of being a deceitful coward! Guys, we have so much more respect for you if you'll just be honest with us girls. You have to know that we're going to find out the truth eventually and the deceit hurts far worse than your actual "change of plans." Respecting us enough to be upfront and honest really does make a difference. Ulla wrote of her lost love: "i still felt that maybe i was doing something wrong and i became more and more silent. until there was nothing to say really." Oh boy, this is not good for your self-esteem! I have the problem of taking it all in like it was my fault, too, but you have to preserve your self-esteem and know that he was the coward and instead of being honest with you, he was just mean and wore you down, until he successfully pushed you away. You don't need a boy like this in your life. You're far too grate for that stupidity. ON A HAPPY NOTE, Laura Llew's gentleman caller, Mr. Breams wrote his tale of being in the presence of said goddess. awww! It's so cute! Caleb Ben AKA RAW wrote: "it's so nice to know that someone out there is thinking about you, smiling to themselves and writing down their heartbeats to send to you." YAY!!!!! That's so lovely! I think list crushes are so cute!!!! I'm developing a brand new one... It's a long story! Maybe I'll talk about crushes in my next post! *******WRITINGS: IN JOURNALS, IN ZINES, ON THE WALL**************** Stacey Dahling wrote 3 very lovely and detailed posts about her UK travels meeting up with Sinisterines and having revelations! Thanks for sharing, I felt like I was there with you. And I wish I could keep a journal as diligently as you can! Gordon, your post with over a week of your life yet to come was fab! You're so silly and I adore the way you let it show! Ken Chu fought in a war with a vending machine and lost. And I got scared because I really thought he got mugged by something human!! You're so clever!! Brier Random wrote the subject line "I'm going back to new york city, I do believe I've had enough" and then said in his P.S. "Thanks to the Beastie Boys for providing my subject line via Bob Dylan, who produced the text from whence was ripped." I was excited that I got that one, I dunno why! Not why I got it, that's because i listen to the Beastie Boys, but why I was so excited by it. Maybe I'm just excited that Brier is so clever! It was a perfect subject line for his post about going to NYC. I hope you have a grate trip! I hope you go to the huge Toys R Us in Times Square. I want to go. Rich. Gill. is reading books that have "Screw" in the title because he's a boy! ;) Mark Hester notified us: "Struan has been mentioned in PHYSICS WORLD, of all places!" He also mentioned a gig being ruined by shit djs and opening bands, which I have experienced as well. You said "Paul Haswell" and it reminded me of a girl I used to know from Florida who met a "Paul Haswell" on the internet and ran off with him and got married. So watch your list crushes, OK people! Someone posted that a listee had a hand in writing a review on the 2nd B&S show in L.A. in Mojo Magazine!! I'm going to look for that issue right away. And sorry I accidentally deleted that post before i could give credit to the 2 said people reporting... but thanks, that's so GRATE!!!! Idleberry wrote: "We�ve decided to make the cover a different colour for every issue. Its very simple. There�s no pictures on the front, or contents lists or anything. Just the name of the fanzine written across it diagonally." Brilliant, I think! I'd buy that zine and, furthermore I'd like to collect that zine not just because of the cover, but because it seems pretty cool. So, how would one go about doing that? Youn wrote a beautiful post about an old photograph and an alarm clock. Will Salt posted a grate description of the Dundee picnic last weekend, with full McGonagall-like verse! Well done, my man! Well done! I'm glad that you all had a wonderful time! ********************SOME OTHER STUFF****************************** I KNOW darn well that I shouldn't mention THE PINEFOX AGAIN (right Robster? Right Big Stu?) but The Pinefox wrote: "It's nothing like Bonnie Tyler" So I have to say that I was excited to read this because I have been known to wail "Turn around, Briigghhhhht eyes!" whilst walking through the supermarket with a very embarrassed best friend. It's not that she isn't a "fan" of Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart" (well, actually she isn't) it's just that I don't care if people look at us when I sing along to the bad music piped in to my shopping experience! She does. Ken Chu wrote this, which is nearly enough to get him a crush vote: "I just thought I'd mention a fox made of pine, cos that somewhat rhymed." Of course the crush vote would be from the PF, not from me! Well, okay, maybe from me... Poor ill Astrid wrote: "i always watched macgyver when i was a kid, but my mum had to read the sublines for me, i hadn�t learnt to read by then." The thought of MacGyver with subtitles to me is hilarious! I used to watch the show, too. That's how I learned to make a bomb out of a stick of chewing gum, the wrapper and some coca-cola. I hope that info wasn't lost in the translation. Speaking of losing in the translation, the game that a handful of us are doing, translating b&s lyrics from language to language to see what we end up with is going to be really funny, I think! Kate is getting her hair cut, and wrote: "It will now be about shoulder length instead of to my belly button." Just be sure that you don't change your mind at the last second and put up a hand to block the scissors and end up cutting yourself again!!! :) *************Favorite Quotes From Recent Posts********************** Joe "Rachel Pancake" Vester wrote my most favorite statement of all: "you had to PAY to get into St. Paul's Cathederal. It's a CHURCH for CRISSAKE." Richard Gillanders wrote my second favorite statement: "perhaps I could catch a matin�e. less effort required than catching a manatee. I keep imagining." ****************************IN CLOSING************************ I want to say that it's exciting to have all of the new kids out of the nursery. I love reading about all of the interactons between you lot all over the world, and it makes me feel a lot less lonely. Shout outs to THE RACHELS (Rachael in Australia, are you in for the mixtape battle?) and to Beautiful Elsie and Sean, Juju Cat, Katie Cheeriodle, Kirsten Kenyon, Ernie, Danny Farrell, and of course, that special boy Ryan. Until next time... Love to all of you, Rachel fruitloop __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make a great connection at Yahoo!
