Sinister: B & (a)S(s)
by lisa morrison 09 Mar '01

09 Mar '01

the before and after...but not the actual. well, then belle and her proverbial sebastian are "tunes to spoon by" and hardly "beats to bang too"...were talking about pure unadultered sex here, people... but even at that, i can't see how b&s would be more than a good spin-the-bottle soundtrack, something lighthearted and silly for the coed slumber parties that highschool first kissers throw...but beyond that makingout all hot and heavy to something fluffy like "judy and the dream of horses" is rather unappealing to me...(to each his/her own) and what's all this chit-chat about ribena...? for all you americans (like myself) who have no idea what the stuff is beyond sounding like a bad case of shingles i did some homework and discovered this site: http://www.brimstone.com/~ribena/ribena_faq.html and being cat and curious as i am, now i'd like to taste the stuff and see what all the fuss is about so if any uk-ers would like to tickle my fancy (and what a fancy it is) and ship me a sample of the stuff i'd be eternally greatful...me doubled over coughing a green gag would make some excellent new material for b&s, given their obession with writing lisa-based ditties..."lisa and the trouble with ribena" talking about how the drink didn't go down so fine and now, not only am i tragically blind and turning girls and kissing men, but i am tragically unlike the other kids b/c i developed an allergy to the most popular drink in england...now i'll never be part of the in-crowd...lisa left out again... -listdomlisa lying puffy-faced in a puddle of ribena. kinky kiki: how's yr chair? were you been hiding out in yr room all day? miss you fridays and pudding wrestling...? kisses.

Sinister: Dirty Dancing and I had the wine of my life
by vodkabird＠gurlmail.com 09 Mar '01

09 Mar '01

Hullo, I loved Ken's last posts...he is a true wordsmith or something, but I am convinced that he cheats on ACRO. That's programmers for you. I fancied a day out of the office today, so enrolled myself on a computer course. The lecturer insisted on calling a '*' an 'Asterix'. I had a vision of a bunch of Gauls invading my nice sparkly database. I liked that boy's post about the lonely girl, and Will'd post about the girl in the cemetry. I was walking through Birmingham today and I saw a lonely boy waiting at the bus stop. It was raining and he looked really cold. I wanted to let him shelter under my umbrella, but I had to keep walking. It was a shame, really. Monty Python seems to be a topic of conversation on the list at the moment. I say, bollocks, Mr Creosote was the best character. I wish I could eat that much cheese and soup and still waddle out of the door.

Sinister: the last temptation of elvis
by sophie * 09 Mar '01

09 Mar '01

howdy pumpkins talk of smut and the weekend has got me thinking on this whole pillow talk thang. my number one wishlist song is suspicious minds - i went to a screening of 'elvis - that's the way it is' t'other day, and came out feeling like a beehive-hair-crazed-housewife. it was *marvellous* - elvis, post 69 leather comeback, and a bit on the pie side, but still quiveringly delicious. anyway. so yeah, i reckon suspicious minds'd be a deep fried winner, but i don't_have_it_on_cd, which foils my plans. darn. anyway. my little contribution to the list is as follows: super furries - 1st two albums, surprisingly not the third. 1st is best. flaming lips (ooh! madam) - the satellite heart that doves album - ooh rock me till i - erm, rock. one of the all time best sex records, if you ask me, that and the strokes the beta band - 3 eps, in a joyous, stoned kinda way. early teenage fanclub mmm. having said that, it really doesn't matter - as (was it florence?) said, it's not the during, but the before and after - that's when you notice it. and if it happens to be the blue trees by gorkys, well then you've surpassed yourself. * 'bena: i had a feeling multi flavours would ruffle feathers - i myself *know* it's wrong, but i still like apple. milk and 'bena makes me shiver. hot 'bena, though, as someone rightly said, is the doyenne, speshially if you dip a lolly pop into it - traffic light lolly and hot squash... otherwise, only orange capri sun offers real competition, cartony drinks wise. * conboys: i met a man on the train the other night - he was drunk and kept trying to touch my pink fluffy gloves. then he showed me a letter his friend had written him, from prison! i never saw prison-headed stationary before. it started off, 'Easy Mike - ', but i didn't want to read any more, i thought it wasn't fair somehow. tsk, those midnight trains, never short of drama. as i walked home, i tried to catch snowflakes on my tongue, but i don't think i got very many. the blossom looked pretty though, in the dark and the snow. * eminken: i like this ken/stan crossover * posture: nick dastoor, is that *you* in monday's office guardian supplement thing? showing us how to sit up straight? * the peacock johnson book is just swell. i've been ploughing through faulkner, and pretending to be clever, even though i keep having to reread passages. but peacock johnson is like watching louis theroux - non taxing, but kinda foxy. sorry, that sounded dreadful, didn't it? i'm outta here kisses xxxxs (i just typed ssss instead of xxx and felt like a snake!) * _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: all hail different flavoured ribena
by Colin Ferguson 09 Mar '01

09 Mar '01

i'm normally a tolerant person, but i won't sit back and let lovely non- blackcurrent ribean be rubbished. different flavoured ribena is just the bestest thing ever. and even when i buy blackcurrent,it's always light. the ordinary stuff is far to sweet. strawbery ribena is the third most beautiful drink ever. after orange and peach ribena, and that green 'tropical' quash. i haven't seen either of those drinks in years. mmmm. i'm thinking about drinking green quash right now. why was it taken off? WHY? it was so beautiful, i used to drink it straight. not very good for me, i'm sure, but i just couldn't help it. i'd never even heard of apple ribena before: thanks for the recommendation, jen. well, i'm probably scaring you now, and i really need to get back to work. but i think we should celebrate ribena diversity, and not be so narrow minded. -- Colin +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Dear Mister I'm-too-good-to-play-a-bloody-gig, This will be the last e-mail attachment I ever send your ass, it's been two years and still no gig, I don't deserve it? I know you got my last two e-mails I typed the addresses on them perfect. So this is the attachment I'm sending you, I hope you run it, I'm on my computer right now, I'm typing at 90wpm on outlook express. Hey Sturan, I drank red bull with quadruple vodkas, you daer me to typpe? You know the song by Spodgenessabounds: "Two pints of lager and a packet of crisps" about that guy who coulda got served at the bar, but didn't, then it was closing time and he didn't get served? This is kinda how this is, I could have seen a gig by you, now it's too late - I'm on 1000 red bulls now - I'm hyper, and all I wanted was a lousy concert in a hall. I hope you know I ripped ALL of my hand drawn pictures of you off the wall. I love you sturan, me and Isobel coulda been together, think about it. You've ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it. And when you dream I hope you can't sleep and you SCREAM about it. I hope your conscience EATS AT YOU and you can't BREATHE without me. See Sturan.... Shut up office assistant I'm trying to type! Hey Sturan, that's my computer bleeping on the desk, but I didn't close the window, I just played Beyond the Sunrise on the CD Drive. See I ain't like you, cause if the computer hears the song it'll suffer more, and then it'll probably crash too. Well, gotta go, the computer's about to crash now, oh shit, I forgot, how'm I supposed to send this shit out? <...Ding Ding Dong Dong beyooond the sunriiise thattt eees wheeere weee lived..> <..crash.> <bleep bleep> ====================================================================== Could you put a face to some one else's eyes, is it someone that you'd maybe recognise? but it all fades in the morning when you open your eyes. - Belle & Sebastian +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Fw: MP3s of the University gig
by Neil Robertson 09 Mar '01

09 Mar '01

Right. About the MP3s. Firstly, I don't think Jeepster even know the MP3s were up. It wasn't their decision to get them taken down. It was the band that wanted them removed. Put quite simply, the MP3s were a pish recording of a patchy gig. Chris himself admitted he'd plugged the mic into the the wrong hole on his minidisc. Pickle Prince, this has fuck all to do with money or commodities or Napster or anything like that. Most of us were well in favour of Napster, and some used it regularly. I agree that ideas are free, but if the person who had the idea decides it wasn't a good one, and decides not to disseminate it, surely that's their freedom? All your talk of artistic freedom is total bollocks if it doesn't include the artist's right to decide what is a finished piece of work, and what is an experiment that isn't fit to be made available under their name. The point is that the band have the right to have some control over how they are presented. If we'd like something to be made available, and think it is good enough for people to hear, then we'll make it available. For instance, there's the "Black Sessions" CD. I don't know who is manufacturing it, so I couldn't stop them even if I wanted to, but it's not too bad. You see it about quite a bit. I've got a copy of it. I almost wish there wasn't an MP3 of "Middle Distance Runner" going around. That's a song that's not finished, because it's not very good the way it is now. It will come out at some point, and it will be much better then. But we made the mistake of giving it to the BBC to play for a special. We put it in the public domain, and we live with the consequences of that. Fair enough. "Lord Anthony" isn't finished yet either, but we haven't gone chasing people over that, so to suggest we've gone all fascist is obviously nonsense. But the MP3s of last week's gig were totally shite. It was a bit of fun on a Wednesday afternoon, which the band spent about an hour rehearsing for. It was hopefully fun if you were there, but having heard the recording of it I can safely say it's probably not something anyone would put on to listen to of an evening. We don't think they're of any value whatsoever, so we don't want them available. It's an artistic decision, and if you can't respect our right to that, then hard luck. I mean, it's hardly fucking Metallica is it? We don't have teams of lawyers searching the 'net 24 hours a day. But Chris is a friend of the band so we've asked him nicely to take it down and he's done so. I'm sorry Chris feels like a cunt. I think that's totally unnecessary. As I said, Chris is a friend of the band, and I feel bad making him look like a scapegoat, because he has done both myself and the band several favours in the past, and we owe him far more than he owes us. No-one's angry with him or anything. No harm done. I'm sorry to the people who couldn't be at the gig. I can understand people wanting to hear what the gig sounded like, especially since it's been so long, and people very rarely get the chance to hear the band live. But there will be plenty of gigs later in the year. Doubtlessly some people won't be able to make these either, so if a decent recording of a decent gig gets posted up, we won't feel so inclined to have it removed. And that's how it is.

Sinister: Dirty Post #2
by Kenneth P Y Chu 09 Mar '01

Dear Sturan, You still ain't called or wrote, I hope you have a chance. I ain't mad - I just think it's FUCKED UP you don't play gigs as a band. If you didn't want to play any concerts, you didn't have to, but you coulda let more people into your last gig. I go to Notts Uni man, that's not that far from Glasgow. I waited for this one gig for you for two years and you just said "No." That's pretty shitty man, you're like my fucking idol. I want to be just like you man, I like you more than I like Dido. I ain't that mad though, I just don't like being lied to, remember when we met on #sinister, you said if I'd write you you would write back - see i'm just like you in a way, I never had much friends in uni neither, I used to talk to my imaginary friend and kiss her. I can relate to what you're saying in your songs, so when I have a shitty day, I drift away and put em on cause I don't really got shit else so that shit helps when I'm depressed. I even got a badge on with your name across the chest, Sometimes I even lick the railings to see how much it's diseased, it's like the fungi, the stuff that cause a sudden rush in me. See everything you say is real, and I respect you cause you tell it. My imaginary friend is jealous cause I talk about you 24/7, but she doesn't know you like I know you sturan, no one does, she don't know what it was like for people like us growing up, you gotta call me man, I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose. Sincerely yours, Ken P.S. : Me and Isobel should be together too ====================================================================== Could you put a face to some one else's eyes, is it someone that you'd maybe recognise? but it all fades in the morning when you open your eyes. - Belle & Sebastian +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Dear Sturan, I wrote but you still ain't calling. I left my cell, my pager and my home phone at the bottom. I sent two e-mails back in autumn, you must not-a got 'em. There probably was a problem with the mail server or something. Sometimes I type addresses with typos when I dot'em but anyways fuck it what's been up? Man how's Isobel? Well I haven't got a girlfriend I'm just looking for the girl for me. If I have a girlfriend, guess what I'm gonna call her? I'm gonna nickname her Isobel. I read about your rectorship too I'm sorry. I had a friend who got upset over some uni who didn't want him. I know you hear this everyday, but I'm your biggest fan. I even got the underground shit that you did with Wham! I got a room full of hand drawn pictures of you man. I like the shit you did with Maisonettes that shit was fat. Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back, just to chat. Truly yours, your biggest fan, this is Ken ====================================================================== Could you put a face to some one else's eyes, is it someone that you'd maybe recognise? but it all fades in the morning when you open your eyes. - Belle & Sebastian +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: strange fruit
by Milla.Gregor＠BMPDDB.com 09 Mar '01

09 Mar '01

Hello there I hope this isn't too much of an annoying-newbie-type demand, BUT... I am going to strange fruit this Sat, at the recommendation of a certain Mr Car-y-Smiles (thank you, btw), and I was wondering how I might recognise any of you horrible lot, cos I'd really like to meet you in the flesh. and to continue the ribena debate- ribena and milk would be funny cos its a bit acidic, and some might say that's a funny combination with dairy. But it does lead me onto my recipe for instant mango lassi- 2/3 a glass of milk pour in (slowly!) about 1/3 glass mango juice. Add a little cinnamon. the taste is like no other. O and b&s and sex DO go. Maybe a bit like ribena and milk- weird and most people might not approve at first taste, but just try it... Have a lovely Friday, Sinisterines, xx mmmMilla +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: curiouser and curiouser
by Jennifer Gray 09 Mar '01

09 Mar '01

Hi. Here's *my* con man story. My mother and I had just purchased some burritos and were sitting in her car eating them. It was quite late at night, the area seedy. A short mustachioed fellow, poorly dressed, approached us and said that he'd had a flat tire a few streets over, and that his wife and baby were in the car. He admitted that he was drunk, and apologized for the fact. He asked us to take him to the store and give him $5 for some Fix-a-Flat. We agreed, although I said, "How do we know you're not a serial killer?" He was offended, and said that we could strip search him, and then assumed a flamingo-like pose on one foot that was supposed to be cute, and said, "Not that I'd mind...." On the way to the store, he said that, on second thought, the flat was too bad to be repaired with Fix-a-Flat, and we should instead take him to his friend's apartment, who would give him a tire. My mom offered to pick up his wife and baby so they wouldn't have to wait alone, and he was very much opposed to the idea. We started to realize that the wife and baby were fictious. So we took him to friend's apartment, and he went inside, then came out and said he needed more money. We didn't want to give it to him, but we felt bullied, so we counted out the last of our change. He told us not to leave, and then went back inside. I looked sidelong at my mom and said, "You know, we could just drive off....." Her foot hesitated over the gas pedal. "Let's do it!", I urged. We did. Afterwards, we made a pact never to tell the rest of the family about it....and we never did. On other subjects....Big Stu, don't be so hard on yourself--*I* have the market cornered on self-deprecation. I never thought of seeking out boys with glasses so they couldn't see me nekkid--I used the classic light switch ruse. As the old Roman proverb goes, "all cats are grey in the dark." B+S content-- I couldn't listen to them today because the batteries in my Walkman died. I was peeved, oh yesss, you can be sure of that. Weird fact: young lab rats laugh in ultrasound when tickled and when engaging in horseplay in what appears to be evidence of mirth in the animal kingdom. love, Jenny Janitoria __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
