Sinister: Looper site- wacked by some maniac

That is very, very odd. so disconcerting to think that Stuart was collaborating with this man. Is the picture really Stuart? strange. I'm pretty sure it's not a 'gay' as in homosexual site, as Pedro said....this guy Peacock just uses some choice language in describing what Stuart did to him. ummm, metaphorically I would presume. huh. I wonder what'll happen.... is that really Stuart though- that's the question bugging me. I've only ever seen one picture of him, and he looked quite a bit nerdier than in that photo on the site.... oh well. back to John Stuart Mill. toodles tonic, Kevin +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: All I ever wanted, was to be at one with you
by tmalone3＠uswest.net 26 Feb '01

I didn't realize I was causing so much pain and agony with my last subject line. I apologize. Anyway, the quote is from a song called "picnics". The band is called Monk & Canatella. They are a Bristol based "trip hop" band that achieved a bit of fame when Portishead wrote a tribute to them. I was surprised at how many people were sure they had heard that line before, I didn't think they were as well known as they apparently are. Of course to make it even more obscure, the song was never released on any album, just a single and a compilation. :) Everybody should go and run out to check out Monk & Canatella. While they aren't much like B&S, they have some great music with some great lyrics. I think Darkus Twisted is quite possibly one of the best songs of the 90s. Good day all. -- Tim Malone "Life is so lovely, yet still I'm sad" - M&C +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Hullo (in a Famous Five kind of way) So the grapevine regarding a possible B&S gig was less of a pouting Merlot and more of a dodgy Lambrini. What a shame that these things have to be taken with a large bucket of salt (and some chili sauce, just for added flavour) Ken mentioned that now-defunct game of ACRO. My challenge was only to beat Will, and then the novelty wore off. Perhaps we should turn to Twister or even Buckaroo. It could be fun to watch Ken balance a Pot Noodle on Buckaroo's foot or something.

this isn't much of a post but to whoever it was that used that as a subject line and offered kudos (mad respect? props? undying love?...some kind of intangible reward) to anyone who could figure out where it came from: I have not come to claim my reward but to plead for your mercy. I know that line but cannot think where it comes from, I can only halfway put a melody to it and it is driving me FAWKING NUTS!! please help... _________________________________________________________________ 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: Looper site is hacled?!
by Pedro Itapema 26 Feb '01

26 Feb '01

Hi; Have anyone of you realized that the Looper site (http://ww.looper.co.uk) - as I saw in the oficial Belle and Sebastian site (http://www.myspace.co.uk/belleandsebastian/) - it hacked? If you click the "enter" button you will go to a gay (!) site. The owner of the site says that Stuart David is also gay (!) and he had gay realations with him and that's way he is ruining his site (!) (and there is also a picture of this gay guy with Stuart!). Check it, please. Here is what the gay site (http://www.treehouse.clara.net/Peacockhome.htm) says: "I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "What the fuck's going on here?" Am I right? Maybe not in so many words, but that's pretty much the gist of it, eh? Am I right? You're fucking right I'm right. You probably came on here looking for those lovely wee Loopers. But I'll tell you what's happening here. There's been a wee bit of a disagreement between them and me; we've had a wee bit of a do. So here's what's happened. I know a guy who knows a guy who knows a bit about the internet, and he's helped me to hack onto their site and put mine in its place- to get my own point of view across. Stuart David was writing a book about me, you see. We were working on it together- and it turned out pretty good. But as soon as it was done the wee bastard ran off to his publishers with it, claiming it was all his own work. Can you believe that? Eh? For those of you who like gay pornography, here's a picture of your beloved Stuart David fucking me up the arse: I'm none too happy about the whole thing, I can tell you. And I'm hardly the kind of cunt you want to make too unhappy. So this is only for starters. If you're reading this, David, keep that in mind. This is only for starters. And if you try and take this site off I'll get you for that too. Enjoy..." Weird....

Sinister: Postmen call far too early in Brighton!
by Mark Hester 26 Feb '01

26 Feb '01

***BRIGHTON*** Getting from Brighton to Oxford by train isn't nice. Worth it once you're there however. Archel's meet-up was GRATE. Shame it was just me and her non-sini mates tho. Where were the rest of you (apart from Peter from whom we just heard)? I saw the famous tattoo, tasteful, starry and unsillustrationy so it was. We went to the divebomb @ the Core only to discover that divebomb wasn't @ the Core anymore and if Corefolk knew where is was @, they weren't letting on. So it was on to the unclubbily-named Gloucester for indie dancing then back to Archel's for dodgy Dominican rum whilst being entranced by a lamp which changed colour and was a bit like a lava lamp 'cept it didn't look like it was full of globs of, y'know..... Bed. Or should I say sofa. I was roused by falling letters, not on my head tho it felt like it, then it was the usual wake-up-in-unfamiliar-place-with-aching-head routine. C'mon Hester, the equation's simple, no pencil chewing involved: Sofa + Noisy Seagulls = Oh yeah I'm in Brighton. Opencupboardnocoffee Opencupboardnocoffee Opencupboardcoffee. Then decent coffee courtesy of Archel's housemate Anna. Toast. Later Archel took me round some amazing record shops. There are TONS and they're all good. I spent ££££££...Mrs Jamie T. Conway was more sensible. We went for a coffee and talked of the first records we ever bought. Archel's were produced by Stock Aitken & Waterman. Mine weren't. Then more record stores, more splurging by me & restraint from Archel, then home. Home in time to see.... ***ARAB STRAP*** Whenever I talk to my friend Phil about twattybus, he always says, "Oh, there's a band called Arab Strap" and I respond, "Yes, I know". This exchange has happened at least ten times. Wasn't that familiar with their stuff, tho I knew there lyrics were a little bit sordid just as Doris...is a little bit partial. Fortunately no-one could see me blushing in the zodiac coz it was too dark. Aidan had a bit of a fight with the keyboard at one stage. "Don't...buy...fookin'...Roland...machines...they're...fookin'...shite!" he spluttered. It has been noted. Aidan also introduced us to Adele, who looked daggers at us for ages before singing anything. And how did Carsmile get near the front when he was way behind us in the queue? Does he have a gigteleport? In the course of the evening colleague Colin said that he was at the last ever Pavement gig and heard _that_ quote with the handcuffs, in response to me telling him that I had just bought.... ***STEPHEN MALKMUS*** The picture of Stephen with the horse is good 'n' wholesome...might have it as wallpaper. The pooter variety that is. The best songs seem to be towards the end, speshly "Trojan Curfew" and "Jenny & the Ess Dog". Like Twinkle, I reserve the right to make complete u-turns in my opinions whenever the fancy takes me, so I shall probably hate these songs in a few days and concentrate on... ***SEEING OTHER PEOPLE'S POSTS*** Last week, Carsmile wrote: >Went to see Frink Blick the other nite, by jimminy does he go on. The > >first hour was quite good, but then he DIDN'T STOP!! after two and a > >quarter hours, he went off and THEN CAME BACK FOR AN ENCORE. Why do > >bands have the temerity to think they can entertain us for that long? > >Even two hours of b&s would be pushing it, i just don't have the > >attention span i guess. Monday night is pub quiz night not gig night, but I've never been impressed by the solo efforts of the Artist Formerly Known as Charles Kitteridge to be honest. Pixies yes, Kim Deal's Breeders, yes, but... (what's Kim doing now? Anyone?). Long gigs per se aren't necessarily bad tho. I saw Julian Cope in Bristol and he played for *three* hours and kept my attention with plenty of mellotrons, old teardrop explodes stuff and only a brief interlude to visit the toilet. speaking of which, today, Fiona wrote: >but i have to tell you that i >have never had so many responses as when i posted about there being >pooh in our toilet. thankfully it seemed to disappear of its own >accord, but i was very grateful for all the advice sent to me. and I thought NO! This never happens...unless someone in Fiona's house (which sounds a barrel of laughs to live in, incidentally) eats something weird which subsequently generates soluble poo. Water-soluble poo, the answer to the world's sewage problems! But what can the something be? and later on she said: >someone said 'tidbits' i always thought it was titbits, like the >bird, as in small bits of food for a bird to eat. but i could be >wrong. aha! You should read Bill Bryson, who explains how this is all due to the prudish nature of Americans in the dim and distant past. The "tit" in "titbits" made C19th Americans blush, so they changed it to "tid", just as a "cock" (as in male chicken) became "rooster" and the "cockroach" became "roach", like the fish. Maybe Lorraine Hosie has something to say on this subject as she likes etymology. and even later she said: >please listen, >it should be good, last week i played baxendale, low, spearmint and >felt. and I thought, if Fiona presented the Evening Session rather than Mr. Lurpak I'd be a very happy man.

Sinister: I agree with this post
by Peter Carter 26 Feb '01

26 Feb '01

> Hey! > Dont be so mean to other listers! > I for one was touched by that mail about the lonely girl, and didnt need > such a discompassionate, sour and downright rude response like that! > somebody slap leonardo's wrist and send him to the back of the class! As they say on alt.music.radiohead, "I agree with this post". Anyway, I was supposed to go to the Sinister meet-up in Brighton but instead I went to visit an old friend from Sixth From for the weekend... mistake. When I got to Southampton (where my friend Hayley is at Uni) she met me on her motorbike and had forgotten to bring a second helmet (she suggest I could ride on the back anyway, but I declined), so I had to wait for an hour for the bus, she waited with me for half an hour and then remembered that she had to meet her friends and left me to get on the bus myself. This kind of thing continued throughout the whole time and was compounded by the fact that she went to see her aunt after she had a miscarriage and was told she'd have to help organise the funeral and when her boyfriend split up with her, putting her in a foul mood. We twice when to a dire club (The Academy), when she proceeded to talk to/dance with one of her friends almost perminantly, leaving me to be totally bored as I hardly knew anyone else... there is much more but it'd take too long to type out. Anyway, I'm vaguely happy at the moment (although I think I might be getting seriously ill, being tired and sickly all the time, having had a cough for three months, having had a pain in my chest for three or fours days and having had a nosebleed this morning), and people seem to actually be taking notice of my birthday (1st of March) for once, so I'll leave you on an up note bye bye, Peter +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: More about the alleged gig...
by Niall Barr 26 Feb '01

26 Feb '01

Hi everyone, I got a bit more reliable information about the 'gig' at GU over the weekend. It seems Brian's skepticism was well justified. Someone else who received the same e-mail that I forwarded to the list last week forwarded it to the band (who were still in the states) and that was the first they'd heard about it. Naturally Stuart was furious. The event that the tickets are for was supposed to be a speech he would be making as part of his election campaign. Did anyone manage to get a ticket? I hear there were a huge number of people queueing for them. Niall. __________________________________________________ Niall Barr, WebMaster and CAL developer, Glasgow Dental School, University of Glasgow. http://intranet.dental.gla.ac.uk/Niall/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
