Sinister: Nooooooo!
by Astrid Wiezell 12 Dec '01

12 Dec '01

[above part to be shouted in slow-motion-style] I haven´t heard anything. Nope. Struan is as single as.. as.. er.. what stays single? ah, me. Yes. Even though I am embarrassed for my post last nite (oops, too much strokes-listenings there, i wrote "nite" without thinking about it) - I must say I am in strong denial. Wait, I do not want to marry him anyway. (I want to, but I´ll pretend from now on that I don´t want to). Astrid - young and, er, vital. Struan - old and.. boring? He´s not even old. Ah, this is going to be hard. But Hell, I can make it. Oh SOD IT ANYWAY. I was just about to write him an e-mail, I´ve been thinking about it for ages but I don´t want to anymore. [space for you lot to imagine me making childish pout with my lips] I got the It´s a cool, cool christmas Cd with the mail yesterday, burnt from a girl on the internet. i can´t get it hear, you see. Anyway, I love the B&S-song on it, O come, o come Emanuel. But I bet no-one else likes it, because it has never been mentioned before. What do you think about it? I think it´s lovely. But then I always like stuff that everyone else think is crap. Today I fell asleep on my bed, and I when I woke up, and hour and a half after I fell asleep by mistake, I realised that absolutely NOTHING had happened and as soon as I woke up, two things happened which I had been waiting for all afternoon happened. Very strange. We practised for the Lucia-thing today. It went quite alright. At first, all the boys just shouted and made strange dark sounds, so anyone who actually *sang* couldn´t be heard. But then something happened. I do not know what it was, but all of the sudden, we all started singing and it sounded very pretty, none of the boys tried to be funny by singing all wrong or something... it was the first time that i´ve felt that christmas is coming. it was so nice. tomorrow i have to get out and buy one of those white lucia-white-robe-things. right now though, i feel like just hanging a sheet over myself, cut a hole for my head and roughly saw it together. no-one would notice my budgetversion. but i´m not even paying for it myself, so why do i even bother? i have been feeling melancholy today. i think it´s the weather. it was dark when i left for school. adter school me and some friends were going to the youth club. we took the bus. it was closed due to no heat there. it had broken down or something. we went home. it was dark. it felt horribly depressing. but the luciathing will be so pretty. i hope i can get someone to take some pictures. it will be pretty. with all the lights and all that. i am now half-asleep and still wrote a bloody dull post. ah. fuck it. Astrid x p.s. Did you know that in swedish Kiss means Urin. To go and 'kissa' is to go and pee. I think of that and get quite disgusted. but i still laugh. (he he he). but isn´t it weird that something that nice can mean something that un-nice in another language? speaking of that, there´s always a lot joked about Brad Pitt, cause in swedish, Pitt is like dick. There´s lots more. And the number Six is called Sex. the funniest ever misunderstanding was when my mum was counting how many of the people at our house who wanted coffee (we had guests) and my sister Mikaela´s english friend Daniel was there, and my mum pointed at him and said "SEX!" and he got terrified and said "Er.. what?". but she was just counting. [space for stupid Astridlaughter]. another uninteresting story from Astrid (c) p.p.s when i was a kid, everyone would say "I buy pink sheets", because it translates, roughly in swedish like "ouch poo pee shit". [space for even more stupid Astridlaughter when remembering how everyone would say it and feel very dangerous and wild, afraid that a gownup might hear it. haha. stupidious.] _________________________________________s_p_r_a_y_ Här börjar Internet!

Sinister: tis the season to be b&s'y...
by Richard Cottyn 11 Dec '01

11 Dec '01

Tis indeed. But then again, I'm b&s'y all the time! It's over a year since the day I walked into my local record shop and thought "I haven't bought an album for a while", and I just got that urge (like you do) to just pick something off the shelf and buy it. IYFS attracted by eyes, and i thought "Belle and Sebastian? Oh yea I've heard of them". So I assigned it to the benevolent homo sapien behind the trestle, who duly deposited it into a receptacle. In other words, I got it. And the rest is history. I must have good instincts! And now, for a slight titbit of b&s content that will no doubt have your mouth watering and...erm...other things. But, haha! (heres the clever bit) I'm not gonna tell you it yet! I promise you that it will come up later in the post-it will be like a Paul Daniels trick, (no, it won't be crap) it will be a surprise! huyyjujihuuuujiuuuighjuhyyuuuuuhuyuhhujuuuhjikuh (sorry, damn hair in keyboard!) erm...yea, well I 've realised how much I love writing to sisnister, because I can ramble and stuff and (hopefully) no-one will reply saying "stop talking rubbish!" which would happen if I sent something like this to people in my address book. and now...(Richard shouts 'Abracadabra' to reveal...) the b&s content. It really isn't that interesting at all, but it made my week. I've been in a play all week, and on Saturday night we had the 'end-of-show-party'. It wasn't much, especially seen as the average age of people in this theatre comapny is about 45! (At 17, I'm the youngest one!) Well as time went on, people began to go home, and as the early morning crept in there were only a few of us left. The Abba CD had just stopped playing so I had a brainwave. Richard, I thought. You have TBWTAS in dad's car. So I rushed out to get it and was soon singing along to ICHBABC, so that everyone would know it was my cd. no-one complained about it, no-one requested abba again, so I was pleasantly surprised. And now, the important bit. Track 9 began to start, The funky intro to TBWTAS drifted across the room, and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw an elderly couple (mid fifties) get up and start dancing! OK, it was only for about 10 seconds. OK, they may have been a bit drunk. But I thought, way-hey, old people dancing to may fave band! Was it worth the wait? OK, maybe not (I told you it was like a Paul Daniels magic trick!) Anyway, I'm off-Cheese and crackers are calling me... Yours in all things B&S, Richard P.Shhhfff. Oops, I've developed a lisp! Almost as bad as Corduroy Boy's stutter! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Cardigans, "I Love Buses", and the new single

Bush have, apparently, dropped off the face of the earth and are currently masquerading as a simian American President (they take turns, you know), while our dear B&S have an ode to their car. On the single... For whatever its worth, I love the first and third tracks, and I like the instrumental bits of ILMC (don't like the verses that much) but... I don't know, maybe something's wrong with me, but it didn't make me *feel* what something like Mary Jo made me feel. Am I incapable of being touched by a song anymore, or do these songs just not affect me as much? I was worried. I put on Mary Jo, and I was worried. Then the chorus hit, and I got that....that Feeling inside, and I knew it was okay. Also, someone criticized Boy Done Wrong Again, and I couldn't disagree more. It's so beautiful, so emotional that once I fell in love with it (granted, it took a few listens), it was pretty much the only thing I listened to for a week or so. It's easily one of my favourite B&S songs. To put it in the same sentence as Beyond the Sunrise is just...*shudders*. Well, anyways, I'm off.

Sinister: If you could free my inner child then I could free your inhibitions, baby
by Genevieve Wesley 11 Dec '01

11 Dec '01

Dougal Shaw's post was nice and amusing to read this morning. I like the idea of the tiger suit in Glasgow. Apparently some men like when ladies wear their low-riders and expose the strings on the side (or worse), although personally, I think it's a bit trashy. I had a whole idea in my mind about I'm Waking Up To Us before I heard the song. I was thinking more in the positive - waking up figuratively and literally, Oh my love, how lovely you look sleeping. Do not stir! I will go and make us some crepes with my strong, freckled, Scottish arms. This is appealing as any girl with over-protective parents will know, the sleepover is quite the mastermind operation that requires extreme precision, synchronizing of fellow girlfriend's cell phone, etc. I like that oldies song that goes "I like it, I like it" - 'And I like the way you let me come in when yer Mummer ain't there!' But anyways, the song wasn't like that at all. It was about the realization of a terrible relationship, so that's a bit sad. Difficult not to read the song as autobiographical? I suspect the lyrics may appeal more to girls who feel a bit under appreciated - 'But Struan, *I* would never ask you to buy my expensive clothes. By god man, if all you ever wanted is to show the beauty of the world that surrounds me, that's all I'll ever need!' He sounds so sad, on the verge of crying. I forget about wanting to slap the stupid girl in the song and want to console him. I love the instrumental bit (especially at the end) of ILMC. It sounds like it's from the olden days. A smoky bar with Struan in a fancy hat or something, being mildly menacing (but in that appealing way: arm stretched out, hand resting on the wall, girl leaning her back on the wall) to a girl in a swirly skirt. I was excited at the prospect of Keith's Grammar School that one listee is attending. A lovely vision of headmistresses impatiently rapping the blackboard: "Repeat after me: Alright lads, Haha! Top." Another lovely vision, someone told me that in England when they make cattle grids there HAS to be a little ramp exiting the hole so as to make sure little critters who fall through the grid can get back out. I hope this is true and not someone playing with my mind! I am one of those annoying Christmas person (I do love it!), so I will be careful not to cause smoke to fly from little sinisterine ears. Papa is a church organist so now is the time of year when the house is flooded with hymns. They (B&S) already did one of my favourites last time, and despite the wide array of choice, I would most like them to do O Holy Night. But please! Struan to sing that one. If you think I'm being mean to Isobel, I could see her (and Sarah) singing Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses. Plus, Mick gets a nice trumpet bit. Then to finish with Il Est Ne, Le Divin Enfant. Hope you all have fantastic shows in Belfast and Glasgow. :) Although never actually hearing the word in a conversation, I suddenly see 'pastiche' everywhere! Is it like the dreaded pasties? Oh that feeling in the early morning hours after a night of alcohol, thinking my kingdom for a glass of water only for it to taste so horrible.

Sinister: donovanydonovanydonovanydonovany...
by Corduroy Boy 11 Dec '01

11 Dec '01

Darn and blast you all, everytime i think of something I want to say on sinister, everyone goes and says it. And this time, it was archel. A record of three things that I have thought about today, and she steals them from my head like the anti-santa. This frightens me a little, maybe I know her in a cunning guise...I hope so!;-) Anyway, this post is just reiterating (is that right?) what some have said, but padded with fuzz, so I'll keep it...no, better not promise to keep it short, it never seems to work. 1: Struan's voice IS a bit donovany (thats a fun word to repeat...say the subject line...), most obvious in the line, "she was the one love of my life...". And I do sometimes worry that much B&S is plagarised, but is it true plagarism if they do it <-------> this much better and <---------------------> this much more emotive? I think not. 2. The new single, alright, not exactly the canine's cobblers but I agree with archel in that Marx and Engels is hoobilicious. But I have respect for idles, because she scares me slightly. In a seductive way. 3. The Big Lebowski, possibly the most beautifully quotable film in history, I will therefore recite some of my favourites with relish: "Eight years old, dude." "The dude abides." "But dude, d'ya have to use so many cuss words?" "Well, for f**ks sake, Walter, y'know, f**k you. Yeah, see you at practice." OK, that'll do for now, but you're getting off light... Right, enough of the formal points. Kieran, your school is stoopid. Sorry about the list abuse, everyone. Well, I don't know what I've actually done but I'm convinced by reading some posts that I commit list abuse everytime I breathe! Ha ha, the wit. Oh, oh, this is funny, if you haven't heard it before. I'll give you the situation: At a friends. He has his Aussie cousin over, so I naturally started to rib him for being an Aussie, giving it the old, "Who was it that was asked on his passage to Australia if he had a criminal record and he replied, "I didn't know it was still necessary!?" (It was Oscar Wilde by he way...) so he told me this... "Someone asked Stevie Wonder if he minded being blind, and he replied, "it could be worse, I could be black!" Ah ha ha! Eeee, hee hee hee! Quite. Well, against all chances, this has wound up short. Sod's law really, as soon as I said I wouldn't promise... the boy with the scarab hat Corduroy Boy P.S. Archel: (and anyone else who wishes to know my self made picture of archel) I'm sure I've mentioned this before but "archel" makes you sound like some huge, cool, destroying warrior angel! But a hot one, like on the back of "Ash: free all angels" t-shirts... Anyway, is this woollen goods for favours thing still on? I have a brown balaclava with monkey ears on... actually, I'd like to keep that. P.P.P.P.S:(excuse my stutter) the last sign off I did was taken from the amazing advert (now, sadly not with us...) for Kia Ora. Possible 2nd place advert phrase? The Quavers one. "Ooooh, they're floaty light...". +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Re: Sinister: White Noise, Belfast, Soul Music
by 'Baby face' Bambino 11 Dec '01

Hey James and other Belfast concert attending sinisterians, I think the Dirty Vicar was talking about Botanic Park... not the Botanic night club. Because the Botanic night club sucks warm sick through a short straw. Playing S club 7, chart dance music, poedophile boy band music and whatever novelty 'cartoonies type' singles that happen to be in the charts that week. The Eglantine is just as bad if not worse. The Fly has a very strict dress code and sucks shit also. Dukes and Renshaws are OK but they're just hotel bars and may be lacking in atmosphere. I've been away from Belfast for about a year so I'm probably not the best person to suggest a place to go. However, the Limelight, Auntie Annies and the Menagerie used to be very good. Are Belfast boys, Daragh and Ian 'the gibber' Mc Kinney still on the list? Some enlightenment, please. Not long now (woohoo!), Tim PS. I hadn't intended to post this message to sinister but the thought of any sinisterians inadvertendtly ending up in the Bot, the Eg or the Fly was just too horrific *************************************************************************************** 'Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle.' from Catch 22 by Joseph Heller (1923-1999) _________________________________________________________________ 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: SANTA, SAVE ME PLEASE!
by Hannah Brown 11 Dec '01

11 Dec '01

hello there chickens, This is my third post today but the first one i have managed to send (hopefully) as i am getting into a bad habit of writing a post then deleating it because it is just so pants. I am currently in the middle of a crap day, i have spent most of it on this damn computer trying to write a proposal that will effect the next 8 months of my life. My glasses are very wonky and need adjusting every time i look up at this screen (either that or i woke up with the left side of my head slightly higher than usual). My friend opposite me just keeps on typing, i read some of her's and its great, she even manages to use those french sayings that they have in posh newspapers, i didn't understand what it meant mind but i'm sure it made sense. I was going to have a go at doing that but all i could manage was "i feel my work is tres bon" hmmm sounds a bit shit though. I feel like my brain is sort of sat on top of my head, i keep thinking about too much too fast and in doing so i keep writing words wrong and am not getting anything done. I am going to ask santa if he can take me with him to wherever he goes after england. I might stay with him for afew months and help him do stuff, you never know, he might pay me well. I had a brilliant star spot on sunday, TREVOR AND SIMON sat in a bar having a chat and a giggle. It was brilliant, i wanted to go up and shout "i swing my pants all the time, and that's YOUR fault" but i resisted the urge, knowing that that would have been very sad indeed, but it was tervor AND simon man!!!!! I also watched an obsurd programme about recording dead peoples voices, sorry if i offend anyone here but HAH, it was hilarious, lots of batty old people listening to shit noises going "gggggggggggffffffnol", "oh yeh, can you hear him, he is saying i love you" "BBBBBBLEEEEGGGG" he's saying hello" ha ha, what fun. anyway i'm done with talking shite, i'm off to write some constructed shite that may earn me some college points. lots of festive love, hannah ps, here is my address if anyone is feeling generous ;> 29 dalkeith road dulwich london se12 8lt items of cake or chocolate are most welcome!! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: scary yelling
by Kenneth P Y Chu 11 Dec '01

11 Dec '01

In the spirit of "Storytelling", this e-mail is in two parties... Party over Here ============== Hello, Those who know me well (basically just me), would know that I ritually read through all my sinister e-mails the first thing at work, to relief my boredom. Now that you all know of my ritual, you can imagine my horror when, only one person seemed to have posted between the time when I went to bed and when I got to work (which incidentally makes erin now my best friend). So I was e-mailless from 9:30am - leaving 7 hours of 30 minutes of OBH - Office Boredom Hell staring me straight in the face. Then, like the apple that struck Newton's head, an idea hit me. So I typed in http://www.missprint.org/sinister and without a pimper or a whore, 4 years' worth of archived written words were suddenly at my mercy. And is having a good memory a good thing? I've asked myself that question many times, but I could never remember the answer. As I luxuriated inside the sinister chronicles, every time I click on a link I seem to get a case of "nostalja vu" - "hey I think I've read this one before!"; "Haha how did I forget someone saying that"; "oh those were the days"; etc. Those were the days indeed. Last year, someone mentioned this almost straight away (heh, check the archives); This year, I am appalled that nobody has mentioned it, so I'm going do it right now. Oooh, http://www.missprint.org/sinister is now *sn*ow*in*g!* Isn't that nice? <The End> Fuck you over there ================= So yes, we meat again, Now, I know that I look quite passable (the many ambiguities of the word in this occasion was deliberate, make of it what you will) in my suit and tie, but I appear to be attracting quite the suitors that I had not bargained for. For the past few days I have noticed that whenever I walked through the corridor of my office I would see this guy who would keep looking at me, in a rather camp and tentative way. At first I thought maybe I'd put my glasses on the wrong way round, or maybe my flies were undone, but over time I am starting to believe that I have procured myself an office crush, but now with the flattery over I am beginning to get a little worried - what if he askes me out to "do lunch"? Would it be rude to say no? What's the equvalent of "I'm washing my hair" during lunchtime? I'm combing my hair? I don't know. What if we, meet, at the toilet? I've had a track record you know - strangers kept wanting talk to me in the loo. What is the secret of my sudden charm at the washroom? Maybe they caught a glimpse, and admired the length of my hair? Good heavens. There won't be much I can do would there? Maybe I can finally utilise my years of pratice, and make a giant discharge of, spit, and elegantly splash it into the urinal in the ugliest possible manner - yes, that'd surely be a turn off? Unless he may begin to admire my phlegmbuoyancy.. oh that'd be the end of me. <The End> Crushes and Red Bulls Ken P.S.: God's sake, just as I was about to post about the list archive Madeleine beat me to it. P.S.2.: God's sake, just as I was about to post about the fact that someone wants my ass Archel beat me to it. _________________________________________________________________ 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: super furry single translations
by marc bots 11 Dec '01

11 Dec '01

it's been a while since my last post to the list. many things have happened. amongst others: the new single is here. it's been called great by some, and absolute shit by others. i tend to agree with the others. when i first played jonathan david, i sat down and listened to it, read the lyrics and afterwards i played it again and again. then i played something else. when i first played the new single, i sat down with the lyrics, and already halfway the first song i felt disapointed. it may grow on me, but will never be as enjoyable as jonathan david. however, this is just a modern rocksong is so beautiful that i want to cry... and just three chords... the brilliance. with our beloved heroes still staying on the other side of the north sea, i am glad that some guys from wales did take the boat. or a plane. tonight the super furry animals are playing in holland, and not only that, even in nijmegen.

Sinister: All I want for Christmas is a list crush vote...
by Gardiner, Stuart 11 Dec '01

...or failing that, I'll settle for some mad, passionate lovemaking. Ken need not apply. Those new T-shirts look quite fabulous, so if anyone fancies being kind to me this Christmas... I'm not sure how lifelike the pictures of the band members are though - for one thing, Richard isn't gurning enough for him to be playing the drums, and I'm sure a few people here would question whether a couple of band members would fit inside each other... Meanwhile, Madeleine (whose name I still haven't figured out how to spell without looking it up) mentioned the joys of the archives. And it's amazing how little has changed over the last 4 years (apart from a decline in the amount of smut - where is Archel when you need her?). Although if you go waaaaay back to the first month of Sinister, you'll find an intense discussion about whether B&S will ever get to be as big a band as The Cardigans (http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/199708/msg00130.html) Yes, really. Other favourite topics at the time included asking repeatedly why the band wouldn't release Tigermilk / Modern Rock Song / Loneliness of a Middle-Distance Runner; and whether Elvis was a cat, a dog or a sprig of broccoli. Aah, the good old days. It's also an exercise in spotting the people who, 4 years later, still haven't found anything better to do with their life. Okay, list abuse time (hey, I don't do it much. Well okay, I do. Never mind eh?). Anyone know how easy it is to get from Florida (where I'm going for a conference in May) to anywhere nice and worth travelling around, eg Mexico / Cuba? Not sure if I'll be able to afford to do a bit of travelling or not, but I'm hoping...
