hey hey, Happy Valentines day to one and all. I got no less than five envelopes this morning. Three bank statements (You have no money- Natwest; here's 5p interest- BoScotland; new interest rates!- Yorkshire) plus one from vision express offering me 20 quid off specs. And a valentines card. Mark Waudby: I love you. (Thanks for the card, darling!) I feel a wee bit guilty seeing as I didn't send him one, but I am waiting to the weekend to give it to him in person (fnar.) Hope you lot all got all the cards you wanted. Still, its Not too late now though. For alternative valentines day e-cards, try: www.evilvalentines.com And send one to the enemy of your choice. Or the love of your life. Sometimes they are one and the same. Nice sunny day, and by all rights I should be knackered. Had the worst dream last night. I dreamt I had a wardrobe full of lush clothes to wear, in all the colours and styles I could imagine. To top it off, they all looked fabulous on me. Including this pair of magic grey knickers that sparkled. They were cool. And a grey sweater like you wore at school. Woke up to realise I don't actually have that dream wardrobe. Thats the bad bit. Okay, I'm off to discuss legalising prostitution in class now.

14 Feb '01

>in anticipation of christiaan's arrival. he arrives on thursday. i will be >bearing a gift of two pounds of candy. we're moving v-day to feb 15. OK. Do you know that J Lo song? iiiiif you want my love buy me two pounds of jelly beans doo doo doo doo dooo doo doo doo doo doooooooooooooooo I was thinking. There are probably people on the list who don't know who I am!! I get mentioned sometimes, but I've never posted! So I think it is time to introduce my self. SO LET ME INTRODUCE TO YOU!! THE ONE AND ONLY BILLY SHEARS!! SGT CHRISTIAAN'S ENGLISH MUFFIN CLAAAA-AAAAN!! Sometimes I wonder, do people ever read my posts? I mean, if I had posted. But then I remember- I am the most interesting person ever. In fact, I am the Best person ever. So, if I posted, everyone would read it (see you are reading it right now I am always correct!) and think things like "fuck, he is interesting! I bet Christiaan!! has a hot ass!" So, what are you thinking right now? What? You think I have a hot ass? Aw, shucks!! I forget that this list is about Belle & Sebastian. That is why I just post about me. I am better than Belle & Sebastian anyway. I am better than anything. Well, except two pounds of jelly beans. So, why do I like Belle & Sebastian, you may wonder. Well, first of all they are from my hometown of Detroit, Michigan. Detroit muthafucka!! Kick on the jams!! All the best bands, like U2 and Guns 'n Roses, come from Detroit. I think Belle & Sebastian are great because Tito (he is my favorite of the Sebastian's) can really rock out with his cock out on the ivory. My favorite Belle & Sebastian album is "Good Humor." "Sylvie" is the greatest song ever. I love the five minute guitar solo at the end. Have you guys heard the Christmas single Belle & Sebastian did with Shania Twain and El Toro? It's SO good, but it's almost impossible to find. I've pre-ordered my B&S DVD! March 11, I hope you are all getting a copy!! Oh a while back people were talking about Napster, and I meant to put in my bits. Here they are: (_|_) Also, if you are looking for the perfect valentine's gift, look here: http://www.australiagift.com/scrotum_shop/ They sell only the finest quality kangaroo scrotums. I leave for New York in a couple days!! OK! I am going to do something else now. I love you all!! xox Love, Christiaan xoxoxoxoxox ps: Honey and I are getting married. pps: Hi Marie! ppps: Hi Laura Llew! pppps: Hi You! _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: The lads I've met in Cupid's deadlock were- shall we say?- born out of wedlock.
by Velocity Girl & Lleweth 14 Feb '01

14 Feb '01

***** The month is February. The day is cold. Velocity Girl and Laura Llew are sitting in front of their fireplace in their frontroom sipping some hot strawberry tea, sighing. Suddenly, Velocity Girl screams Velocity Girl: Blimey! I just realized that Wednesday is Valentine's Day. My most hated day of the year. I can't stand this shameless commercialization of love! How much can a poor spinisterine take? Laura: What's the matter - don't you want to fall in Lovvvvvvveee? Don't you want to be swept off your feet by Mr. Perfect, wooed in romance - only to find yourself years later drowning in debt with a truckload of kids and only seconds of time a day to pen your soon to be bestselling memoirs, "The same phrase describes my breast and my marriage: Before the kids, they used to be such a cute couple"? Velocity Girl: *rolls eyes* Forget love, I'd rather fall into chocolate. Laura: You're not going to be getting any guys with that attitude, young lady. Nor with what you told that guy who hit on you the other day. "The sexual preference is 'no' and don't talk to my breasts either because you will not be meeting them." *giggles* Velocity Girl: Well, I just hate how each year they shove red hearts and chocolates in our faces all for the sake of making money, only they do it in the name of "love." Love my arse!! You know the quote "culture is the commodity that sells all the other"? Well, in this case, it should be "love is the commodity that sells all others" because it does! That pisses me off! We realize that but we don't have to have it rubbed in our faces like it is on bloody Valentine's Day! We should protest! That's what we should do! Enough with the love mongery that functions just like a dildo to true emotions!! Laura: Protest? As in dress in black, be bitter, chant women are from Venus and men are from hell, and then write anti-Valentine's Day rants because really that would be *such* a novel idea. Actually, this year I cant be too against it since I've fallen in love. Velocity Girl: *wrinkles nose* No silly! Those are all so passe.. Wait.. What did you say? You've fallen in love???? With who? You don't even talk to anyone with your nose always in a book! Laura: I've fallen for myself since no one else seems to be doing it. That way I don't have any competition. Plus, I can have an official reason to be self-involved just like couples are. Now when friends come to me with their petty problems I can say things such as, "Could you keep the wolverines who are tearing your limbs off one by one howling down. I'm trying to talk to my snookums." Velocity Girl: *raises an eyebrow* Ahem. Well, the only guy I want to get is that feathery god of love, cupid. He needs to pay! Laura: Aww, you're just jealous you're not the one piercing hearts, heh. Really, what could you possibly want with an underdressed, overweight guy, who has a penchant for throwing tainted arrows into people's hearts? I mean I thought the kid in my kindgergarten class who ate glue and ran with scissors but cupid sounds like something conjured up during the sixties. He can't do anything for us. Velocity Girl: Laura! Where is your imagination? You have no vision! I think we ought to kidnap cupid! Think of a Valentine's Day with no cupid! What would it be? All of those lovers will be left helpless without their cherubic mascot. There's no such thing as a Valentine's Day with no Cupid! Think of the chaos! *Vel's eyes are sparkling as she gets excited* There's only one way to ruin Valentine's Day and that's by getting cupid out of the way. I thought of bombing places, shoplifting, mocking all the couples in the street, but no - nothing else will do. Laura: Ok, kidnap cupid. I can't see as how he'd be too hard to catch being the fatboy he is. I mean, he has wings but he certainly can't get much altitude.. but how would we get close to him? I mean Psyche was his lover and she wasn't even allowed to look at him. You think single life is rough - imagine not being able to see your mate. Then again, with some of the guys I know that might not be such a bad thing... Velocity Girl: Ok, ok. We'll have to lure him here and then trap him. We must use something to bait him here. *Vel stands up and starts pacing the room as she bites her lip* I've got it!!! Laura, we can use ourselves as bait! Just think - we're two young girls in our prime but we have no lovers. We live alone and mock the idea of love all the time. What's better bait than that? We can send a letter to cupid saying we've given up on love, we believe that no one will ever love us, and all of the other sappy crap we always hear girls sobbing as they clutch their harlequinn romances and wonder where their soulmate is. He won't be able to resist! He'll have to live up to his name ... Laura: and when pudgy britches comes fluttering our way - we'll nab him! Velocity Girl: Exactly! We can throw him in our wet dark dungeon! I don't think he'll be in a mood to start mating people nor throw his arrows! We'll keep him there till the next day, the 15th and then release him. What do you think? The only setback here is that if we do that then we'll be cursed forever. No one will ever fall in love with us, cause simply - cupid will hate us. Laura: We have a dungeon? Velocity Girl: Yes! Let's do it! Grab a piece of paper, perfume it a bit with this cheap perfume this boy once bought for me - when was that? Oh yes, on Valentine's Day 2 years ago, like he had a cance and even if he did, he ruined it by sending me this perfume "Moonlight Magic"! Now is that a name for a perfume? Laura: If we send a letter which has been marinated in cheap perfume, all we are going to get in reply is a suggestion not to smell like a cheap whore. Call girls make so much more money anyway.. Velocity Girl: Oh ok. Grab a pen. Now, write. Your handwriting is better than mine. Laura: Ya know, that's what I like about our friendship. We might disagree over whether we should sell cupid to the underground white slave market or sentence him to a dank dungeon, but we never have big arguments. *sighs* Ok, I'll start. "Dear Fluffy Bottom" Veocity Girl: Ahem Laura: *Crumples up the paper* *Vel starts walking across the room again as she dictates* Our Dearest Cupid, We guess you must be really busy at this time of the year, but we are desperate! Laura: *to herself* Desperate? Maybe I should get that perfume... Velocity Girl: *continuing* We hate to disturb you, but you are our last and only home, you might God of Love! We are just two girls in our prime and for some reason we are single. Why is that? Are we cursed? Shall we ever find true love? Who's going to send us cards, flowers, and chocolates on Valentines Day? We usually send cards to each other, that's how tragic our situation is. Therefore, we found the courage to write to you and invite you over for cake and strawverry tea. You are the only one who can deal with our problem. With faith in you, Velocity Girl & Laura Llew Velocity Girl: So, what do you think? Will he buy it? Laura: It mentions cake- like he could resist! Velocity Girl: Then I shall post it right away......... **** The next day someone knocked on the spinisterine's door. It was none other than that feathery fatboy of love, cupid! He was donned in a trenchcoat to hide his wings and feathers. Not that that would have seemed odd since he was holding a vacuum cleaner. Vel and Laura quickly invited him and led him into the frontroom where he was served generous portions of spiked strawberry tea and yummy chocolate cake. After a while, cupid started to feel sleepy - whether it was due to the drugged tea or that he had just asked about their sex life in the past five years - is unknown. He was wrapped in a blanket and thrown (dragged rather. Vel & Laura are kind of wimpy) into their dungeon. Then, the girls took their books and went to their bedrooms. After a while, they heard someone screaming from downstairs. They dashed down the stairs to hear Cupid cursing in an unknown language. Laura suggested he get a new job as a Taxi Driver but it was not well received. The next day was Valentine's Day. As they looked out on to the street from their porch they see pure chaos. Brides running away screaming from their weddings, flower shops with their shudders drawn and doors locked, and news spreads that all of Micheal Bolton's hair has fallen out as punishment all of the rancid love songs he has dumped on the poor masses for years. *Velocity Girl and Laura look at each other and smile.* Laura: So, Vel, tell me more about this dungeon of ours? **** Roses are Red, Blood is too.

Sinister: stripping poets & atp chalet?
by Robyn Fadden 14 Feb '01

14 Feb '01

hello all you rockstars! i wanted to write and tell you about a really good performance artist/stripper i saw the other day, but i was rethinking it b/c i told the story to a friend of mine (a canadian) who is living in oxford and she said she was going to tell the story to her british friends and they'd get all uncomfortable and squeemish and go home and *not* masturbate, but think about their grans. prove her wrong! (especially if you're in oxford...) but first! i've got holidays coming to me in the first two weeks of april and i thought that i would come over to england and hang out in the london/oxford area and go to All Tomorrow's Parties! so, before going to the atp message board for kids without chalet mates, i wanted to ask any of you if you needed an extra person for your chalet. and if you'd like this person to be a kind, thoughtful, hard-drinkin' 26 yr old girl from west coast canada. all bids to rfadden(a)yahoo.com back to the stripping: i went to a reading called 'skank' the other night. it was greatness! poetry and strippers together at last! and even one poet/performance artist who stripped! but not only did she strip, but she first read, then stripped off her coat and danced in her 1970s peach lingerie, then read a bit, then stripped her top off and took a stuffed toy duck (seriously) out of her underwear (which she took off to reveal a thong) and bit the head off the duck! and blood spurted out all over her! it was wicked! and she was stipping to 'highway to hell'! then she rubbed the blood all over her and took a bottle of glue and rubbed *that* all over her and proceeded to cover herself in feathers from the duck. and when the music stopped, she brushed her hair from her face, whiped a bit of the blood off, and read another poem. insanely awesome. she kicked stripping ass. the boy stippers (it being a gay bar with mostly male clientele, though not on this night) who came on later had nothing on her. though one guy did dance/strip to 'paradise city', so he gets points for that and his incredible 1987 mane of black hair (it was real). poetry rules! not to say that i would want to see, say, ezra pound take all his clothes off while reading 'canto XIII'. or even 'in a station of the metro' for that matter... which is obviously just not going to happen. (er, that may bring an abrupt halt to any thoughts of Mx where M is masturbating, and x is a person*) oh, they've finally released "ratcatcher" in north america - such a good movie, really amazing. and there are scottish accents galore if that's what gets you out to the foreign pictures these days. :) and 'aliens' on dvd is *the* shit. yo. the other day i went to the sinister site and in the search box was 'sad_fluffy_ghd'. it made me go 'aaawwwh' and when i clicked on it a million ghd posts came up. IT WAS COOL. ooh, i must do more work now. again, please let me know if you have chalet room or know of someone who does. that would be nice and i would be so grateful and happy. thanks. robyn *http://www.mcsweeneys.net/links/lists/masturbating.html ===== I was reading the dictionary.

Sinister: inside every romantic is a cynic screaming to get out
by Rachel Playforth 14 Feb '01

14 Feb '01

so it's vd day again. it's a problem for me. i mean, disapproving of everything valentine's day stands for is kind of normal and healthy if you're a bitter single person, but what are you meant to do with your cynicism and disapproval when you're in a warm supportive bed, i mean relationship? it surely appears heartless to the object of your lurve if you say you don't believe in it and flatly refuse to give them a card (let alone a trip to paris as bestowed on my housemate by her beau - huh, he never took ME to paris when we were going out...) principles and romance just don't mix, that's the ultimate conclusion. speaking of principles, i find the title of the manics' new single (or one of them) ironic. arguably, james dean bradfield in fact *lost* his soul circa 1996. being the first 'western' band to play in cuba also just strikes me as a giant wanky photo opportunity, 5 residents of havana plus 89 british music journalists, 46 invited celebrities and 20 competition winners. well, maybe i'm not really such a cynic as all that. i actually like 'this is my truth...', but i wouldn't fight in a civil war for it. having read james thorn-in-the-side's wonderful last post, it strikes me that everyone should just stop snogging, or dreaming about snogging, or pretending to want to snog mark casanova, so he can have time to actually start posting again. as laura llew can probably now testify, it's tiring being a sinister heart-throb. not that i'd know - men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses (or ones with actual real prescription lenses at least.) mind you, i have just stupendously proved my indiegrrl credentials by sticking a picture of my kitten (before she became a neurotic, agoraphobic, jaded fully grown cat) on my monitor. i relate to johnjohn's adoration of his dog's eyes. i look at portia (don't ask), staring out of the picture with utter innocence and charm, untainted by sex, death, religion or politics, and nothing is bad. even limp bizkit. oh, i long for a time when wizards were narrow, foxes were pine, and berries were idle. i'm handing in my notice tomorrow. YAY! no longer do i get rigorously fucked by a company which claims to raise funds for charity but has clearly never heard that charity begins at home. instead i'll be working in a language school and explaining how to kommen am bahnhof to foreign students in neon baseball caps. now i'm off to watch john hughes films and eat maltesers, which is how this house has voted to spend valentine's eve. luv archel xxx *************************************** Rachel Playforth 'She may not be famous, but she's right' - Homer Simpson For the best in new writing on the web, visit www.buzzwords.org.uk Contact us on buzzwords(a)bigfoot.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: VD and old men
by Jon Botterman 14 Feb '01

14 Feb '01

Howdy! Did you know that St. Valentine killed himself for the love of a woman! Well there you go. No more of this St. VD nonsense. It just makes the lonely ones lonlier and those who have got someone get in a big argument because they say it's all a load of rubbish. Then she says that you don't care about her 'cause if you did you'd buy her a card anyway as it would make her happy. Then you say you'd rather be unhappy but stick to what you first said. What would happen if I went about changing my mind all the time. I'd turn into a bleedin' woman. Then she cries and you say you were just joking and you think all women are equal (except Denise Van Outen who is a bint). Then she points out that if I can say things like that and not mean it then I can buy a card and not mean it. Then I say what's the bloody point of that. She says even a really little card that I had found in the street would be nice. Even that old birthday card I forgot to give to my brother. Anything. ANYTHING! No, I say, and I slam down the phone slightly confused about what the whole thing was about. So there. Is that what you want? 'Cause that's what'll happen. And another thing: I was reading Robin Stout's story about an old man on public transport and I was reminded of a similar thing that happened to me. I was on the tram at Croydon ( a horrible place, all grey and tower blocky. I was only there so I could go somewhere else). I saw a free seat and was about to sit down when an elderly gentleman got off his seat at one side of the tram and ran over to the seat which was right in front of me. Just as he was about to sit down the tram moved, jogging him backwards. I thought he was going to fall so I went to grab hold of him. Somehow, in order to try to regain his balance he'd stuck his leg up to where his arm should have been. He must have been an uncommonly supple and fast old man as I didn't notice until I had grabbed hold of his raised leg. He continued falling backwards and was now assisted by a bumbling student (me) yanking one of his legs from under him. By the time I had realised what had occurred he had landed on the floor, head first. I didn't know where to look as two women helped the confused geriatric off of the floor. Everyone on the tram was staring at me. I blame the old man for needlessly switching seats but it still didn't help the fact that I had concussed the stupid grave dodger. Oh well, it happens to everyone I guess. Thank you for reading this story. P.S. The thing about St. Valentine is false. I'm sorry but it could be true. However I do know that Noel Edmonds has taken Clive Anderson hostage on board a helicopter gun ship! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: If We Can Land A Man on the Moon, Surely I Can Win Your Heart
by Mike K 13 Feb '01

13 Feb '01

Post number three. *deep breath* It's been an interesting week. What a naff word, "interesting" is. New girl at school who wears grungey clothes and has an antinazi symbol on the backpack. I think i'm starting to think of her too often, or maybe i am just desperate for an indie girl in these lonely times, and she looks a bit indie, although apparently she listens to Korn, and so my hopes are shot out of the sky like Clay Pigeons (which is apparently half the title of a Sister Hazel song, and my reason for knowing this shall remain undiscussed) i am apparently the only B&S fan for miles (and i remind you all that i'm from Brazil), although i'm not the only Weezer fan, thankfully. to whoever mentioned 'the good life', its a great song, and to whoever has Ozma as their name, great band, unless of course you're not talking about the band in which case its time for the old crawl-inside-the-turtle shell trick. its not vday for another 3 hours here. this is one of the years where i say it's going to be just like every day of the year except of course its not. the odds of something extraordinarily romantic happening on February 14th are slim anyways, its 24 hours out of...well, a lot. As someone* was talking about a song to sum up the romantic year (does this mean we have to report earnings and losses for each quarter?) mine would be the song from my subject line. It's a song by Beulah, who i just found about last week and absolutely loved. Which brings me to a nagging question: what is the most B&S-ey band you've all heard? Bands not involving B&S members though. I've been searching for a band that has quite as much magic as B&S but it's been a fruitless search. I can't help not singing Loneliness under my (already panting) breath whenever running round the track. Of course it makes me wheez by the time i'm done. And of course I burst into a coughing fit any time i reach the high parts. But all is well in the end, i suppose. well i think i will get a rose for tomorrow and hand it to the grunge/indie/korn girl. If i am met with an angry look and a yell, i can resort to my "it's from a friend" act. Is roses the thing to do these days? My friend says daisies but she might be winding me up. Ah well.

Sinister: i'd be lyin if i said i didn't have designs on you
by marie elia 13 Feb '01

i just remembered how i could never remember the old sinister email address, and realized how easy this one is, and that's good. props and shout outs to everyone's favorite milkmaid in pink gingham -- she's sweet 16 today, you know. can i have shirley temples all around, please?? i think that, in the midst of his self-depricating tirade, blake might have made some anti-woman remarks. girls, let's go get him! well, i guess we could give the poor guy a break. he's been chasing girls in delis and coffeehouses for years. mwahahaha. somehow i can imagine blake and steveC commiserating in a southern bar, knocking back the budweisers, quoting the go-betweens, and generally being that strange hybrid of Young American Men and indie saddos. hot damn. i think i just insulted them. it wasn't meant to be an insult. no, no. Dr. Ree loves you all. my valentines day will be spent cleaning the house (and probably listening to birdie, as i haven't been able to stop since i got the album -- perhaps a subconscious desire to make up for being denied seeing them TWICE in london) in anticipation of christiaan's arrival. he arrives on thursday. i will be bearing a gift of two pounds of candy. we're moving v-day to feb 15. my birthday is next week. LOVE ME. 5-disc-changer stereos are really the only way to be able to listen to the b&s eps, aren't they? like, i'm sure as hell not going to bust out a 20minute cd all by itself. i want QUANTITY. but sticking "dog on wheels" in amidst a few others does quite nicely. also, speaking of length (*ahem*), i have this CD-R stephin merritt mix cd that julie made me, and it appears that it is the perfect length for cleaning my room to. when i cleaned my closet, the cd ended just as i did. when i cleaned the rest of my room, same thing. weird. speaking of cleaning out closets, when i cleaned mine, i found thirty-three pairs of shoes that i no longer wear. so i have to go donate them to the salvation army today. before christiaan arrives and finds 33 pairs of shoes taking over my upstairs hallway. oddly, it was really phil's post that inspired me to write, yet i have no response to him. other than that it made me kinda miss mell street. mwah, martin. xoxo, ree ===== * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * "to me she was just marie." -mersault "Let me, for our happiness/ Be the one to love the less." -dorothy parker http://www.chickpages.com/poetrypod/lilarsonist __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: she could do you in five...
by lisa morrison 13 Feb '01

13 Feb '01

and that's how long i've got to tap this out before i have to go discuss the phallic nature of the empire state building in my culture and media class...everything is phallic this week. perhaps it was the stripping poets post and the dream i had about touching a girl's thigh...but then again i also had a dream that my current lover got hit by a bus... on that note: everyone is dying. valentines day and people die. they're all dying from broken hearts. my grandma died on new years. the step-grandfather shot himself two days ago. sobering when i got the 7am call, surreal when i awoke again at 1pm after nodding off again... off to discuss the arcitectural nature of the penis. -listdomlisa men miss me. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: the drug man just spoke of addiction
by Ozma . 13 Feb '01

13 Feb '01

People are coming to my lovely school of plaid to talk to us about addictions. They don't even know that half these lovely catholic girls are addicted to more than the eyes can see. They're addicted to stereotype, among others.. They can't see behind me and my cynical exterior and I wish I could have enough strength to pity them. To the nerdy shy-eyed pacifist. Your torment is very understanding, and while you seem upset--trudge on. Not like that advice is any good. Too many people have told me it for me to believe it. I admire your blatant love of children's books, I have a passion for them too. I enjoy Green Eggs and Ham at the moment. BELLE AND SEBASTIAN MOMENT: I was looking around my salvation army thrift store for some cool little clothes. I glance at the CD case-less CD's and see a belle and sebastian cd?!? LAZY LINE PAINTER JANE of all things, one I do not own! sure, it doesn't have a case, but I bought it for a dollar! girlish scream of delight sorry. not one of my proudest moments of girliness. here's sincerely wishing to be someone's indie girl. someday. -Allison _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
