Sinister: the girl smells of ribena
by Florence 08 Mar '01

08 Mar '01

Dear All, Remember me? No? Oh well. Spurred into action by Marc posting, and the sudden realisation that I have *time* to post at the moment, stuck at home as I am with a touch of a gastric-flu-type-thingy (don't worry, it's not catching via email) and bored to the point of even considering some light housework a viable option, I decided it was time to make myself known again. I have in fact been living off Ribena for the last four days, so can testify to its tastiness, nourishing qualities and general attractive purpliness. And if you lie in bed, hold your glass of Ribena up to the light and look through it, it's very pretty indeed. I've been doing a lot of that kinda thing this week. Yes Hodottir, after our recent discussions of the hideous stomach bugs awaiting Joe and I in Egypt, I have actually managed to come down with one the week before we go. Still, onto more savoury matters... like sex to B&S! It's fab! Try it! If you're anything like me, you don't really notice what you're listening to *during*, but it's more of a consideration before and after, and Belle and Sebastian can be perfect for those moments of closeness. Marc, if you're drinking five pints of vodka, it's no wonder you get plastered and fall over on the bus. No need to give it up, just reduce the quantity, and try beer in your pint glass instead. The best thing - in fact the only good thing - about being ill is the vivid and mental dreams I'm having as a result. Last night I dreamt for hours and hours that I was a cat and I was climbing up a neverending roof. The rooftiles all had pictures of pop star faces on them, S Club 7 and the new look Mel B featured prominently, but I didn't care cos I was a cat and just wanted to reach the top. I don't recall any members of B&S, however when I was ill a couple of weeks ago (yes, I'm a sickly little thing of late) I dreamt that Stuart and Stevie came snorkelling with us in Egypt, and then played a gig in Dahab just for me an' my Sinister boy.

Sinister: Hello Mrs. Sartre, how's your Jean-Paul?
by Lucy Alder 08 Mar '01

08 Mar '01

Jenowl, could I have the spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, sausage and spam without the spam please? Also, have you tried Ribena and Guinness? It's what men drink in Nigeria, according to my Nigerian ex-boyfriend. It improves the flavour of the Guinness just enough for me to stomach it, anyway, so it can be a useful resort when the Ayingerbrau is off. Desmond Torpey asked > ...whats peoples opinion on terris? I got very drunk at the Blur B-sides gig in London last year (or was it the year before? How time flies...) and got chatted up by one of Terris, the one who looks like a bulldog, and Richard Parfitt from the 60ft Dolls. I like to call him Rick Parfitt in homage to Status Quo. Anyway, they asked if I fancied going back to their hotel to 'continue drinking' and I considered it for all of... oh, half a second before deciding to get the bus home instead. That's my Terris story. Mikey talked about conmen, which amused me because I thought I was the only person being regularly accosted by a conman. Well, conboy to be exact, as he looks about twelve, is fairly portly and has extremely rosy cheeks and puppy dog eyes. He's also a bit grubby. Anyway, he came up to me at the bus stop by Finsbury Park station last autumn and explained he'd lost his money and couldn't get home to his mum. I, being of a more generous nature than stingeboy Mikey, forked out a whole £1.80 for his tube ticket. Then, in January, the same young scamp approached me again with exactly the same story. "You're lying", I said. "No I'm not," he replied. "Yes you are, you told me the same story a couple of months ago". He just wandered off and asked somebody else. I know he's young and naive, but rush hour is not the time to be employing con techniques as commuters are the likeliest people to be caught twice, aren't they? Anyway, Nick, Lixi, anybody else who uses Finsbury Park station, look out for grubby rosy cheek conboy! Strange Fruit this weekend should be ace, not least because the Mighty Obscura are playing. I also think it will be the first time all my chalet-rinas will meet each other. Top of the agenda will doubtless be who's bringing what bouze. What else could it be? I'm still not sure what shoes I should wear though... Juicy Lucy ps. Chris, you're not a cunt __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: "You don't need to diet" I said, and she invited me home to meet her parents
by Gardiner, Stuart 08 Mar '01

08 Mar '01

I still think getting down and dirty to the sound of Nick Drake takes some beating. Of course, what we want to know is if anyone will admit to using B&S as the soundtrack to a bit of self-loving? A quick hand shandy to Dirty Dream #2? When this film comes out that B&S have done the soundtrack for, we'll have to see what they're playing during the inevitable sex scene. I'll bet it won't be Isobel doing the singing though. (Incidentally, why do all American people have L-shaped bedsheets? It's just that in every film you see, the sheets always come up to the woman's neck, but only come up to the man's waist...) To Laura Llew, I say just 2 words: If only. There seem to be a lot of Leicester listees crawling out of the woodwork at the moment. I would suggest getting together with the Nottingham posse for a Midlands picnic, but it's bloody freezing outside. After my last post, I feel I should apologise to girls who wear glasses, for suggesting that any of them might want to get into bed with me in the first place.

Sinister: To: sinister@missprint.org
by Marc.Bloomfield＠legalease.co.uk 08 Mar '01

08 Mar '01

[ The following text is in the "ISO-8859-1" character set. ] [ Your display is set for the "US-ASCII" character set. ] [ Some characters may be displayed incorrectly. ] Hello all! Thought I'd write, since there's been a couple of little threads going on which cover two of my favourite things: Monty Python and the Tindersticks (ooh, how about Monty Python sings the Tindersticks, or, even better, the Tindersticks singing The Lumberjack Song? Maybe not...) Good to see everyone has different MP faves. I still love the 'confuse-a-cat' one. Never fails to make me laugh. Though I do agree with Jenowl, the killer joke one is brilliant. As for the Tindersticks, well, yes, Stuart Staples does to a bit of a 'club singer' thing, but I think it works well. Although he did get a bit *too* mumbly for a while (try figuring out most of the words on Curtains - it's kind of a 'mmm, yyh t th mmm nnn...'). The last album was a cracker though - 'Before You Close Your Eyes' is amazing. One of my favourites, though, is the B-side of No More Affairs. It's a great instrumental version, with a trumpet taking over the vocal melody. I think it works far more than the proper one, actually. Although I always feel like I should be nearing the end of a third bottle of wine when I'm listening to it. Never have done, but it just sounds like that's the best way to listen to it. In fact, I think most of their songs sound as though they should be listened to in a miserable, drunken haze at 3 in the morning. Talking of music, does anyone know of any really good albums that have come out this year that I should buy? Nothing's tickled my fancy yet, so I've stuck to the ever reliable old Fall compilations (Psykick Dance Hall is great). Oh, and I bought Rank by The Smiths, finally, a few weeks ago. There's something hilarious about listening to Morrissey try to growl. I particularly love the strange noise he makes before 'Is It Really So Strange?' - a kind of 'eeoow'. I read A Man in Full by Tom Wolfe the other week. It's the longest book I've read in ages. It's very good. The way everything in it builds up is genius. Everyone should read it. Unless they haven't read Catch-22, in which case they should read that first. Everyone should read that. And I mean everyone. I bought a Bill Hicks tape the other day. He makes me laugh. I haven't drunk much recently. This is great for my bank-balance (kind of), but it means every time I go to the pub, I drink 5 pints and get plastered. I can't decide if this is a 'good thing' or not. Getting drunk cheap is grate, but getting too drunk way before the night is over is definitely bad. Perhaps I should take it a bit easier. It's also very embarrassing when I get the bus home and keep falling over every time it moves. Once, I did it so often that someone offered me their seat. How ashamed I was. Almost put me off drink. But not quite. Vodka is far too wonderful a thing to give up. Oh well, I hope I haven't bored everyone to sleep. I'd better be quiet again.

Sinister: smut in A#minor
by lisa morrison 08 Mar '01

08 Mar '01

jeff burke mentioned arab strap who made the cut on my personal sexiest song mixing...dirty sheets lethargic in the half light with the bittersweet stench of glass-half empty sentimentality: arab strap makes a definate appearence in the smut category. belle and sebastian b/w the sheets...? too coy to be sexy. its like isabell "dyking it out" or stuart getting into a good hour of skin slapping bondage...like santa fucking the shit out of mre.clause all fluched and jolly (ho ho) in winderwonderland while the elves with their painted grins whistle while they work and rudolph shines his light so bright... that image right there is about as appealing as b&s blaring b/w divine announcments of "oh!...gooooooood!"(stood up with a sailor friend and made it known)"i'm!...i'm gonna...!" and then it gets all furious and the neighbors start to bang on the wall and (upon my sisters wedding day...) its paisley wallpaper and a striped sofa...like orange and purple...baileys and lime juice...just don't mix well...some things aren't meant to be and i'm keeping my belle and sebastian albums out of the bedroom. prince was also suggested- a thought that should have occurred to this pretty young thing ages ago...he's a subtle banshee...the movments manifests itself in liberating cries, strength and stab in every straining note...it summons gods...prince and ian from the make-up...voices that have defied the peripheries of the senses, embodying both sound and touch... -listdomlisa "butterfly" sex song dedication to kinky kiki kamikazi. _________________________________________________________________ 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: Love lift us up where twee belongs
by The Hodottir 08 Mar '01

08 Mar '01

Oh chaps, there are so many unfulfilled questions in this jalphrezi world. Where do broken hearts go? Do you know the way to San Jose? Who let the dogs out? (I'm working on this one). Q. But what I really want to know is... are you gonna go my way? A. Dunno - which way are you headed? Q. If I was a booger, would you blow your nose? A. Probably, or I might pick it instead. Q. Do you know what it feels like for a girl? A. Yeah, it's kinda nice, but also a bit painful. Q. Where have you gone Joe Di'Maggio? A. I'm hanging out with Elvis. Could it be that, while apparently unable to solve LIFE'S puzzles, I have found the answers to pop's great mysteries? Nah, only smarties have the answer. Anyone going to NESH tomorrow night can question me in person.

Sinister: Are there any Swedish midgets in the audience...?
by Rob Butler 08 Mar '01

08 Mar '01

Hello you I've started reading Sinister again after a gap of at least six months, so hello to anyone that remembers me, and hello as well to everyone that doesn't. It's all due to being bored at work, you see. All day long in front of a computer screen does mean that I manage to sneak on to the Internet somewhere in the region of 20 times a day. If you're looking at me to be an accountant, then you can look but you will never see... well, I'm only temping, but at least I now know that accountancy is not for me! As if I didn't already. It's tedious as buggery - in fact probably much more so, buggery probably being anything but tedious.. anyway... So who's going to Camera Obscura this weekend? I'll be there I hope. Say hello. For Lent this year I've given up not seeing bands, as I'm in London every day now, so I have no excuse not to head off after work to dingy little venues and drink overpriced lager. Does anyone know if there's a good website with listings for London gigs? This week I've been mostly listening to The Aislers Set and Kings of Convenience - buy their records now, they're great (or g!r!a!t!e! if you're that way inclined). I have to go now - work beckons.

Sinister: kiss me, hot lips, I'm asbestos
by Jennifer Gray 08 Mar '01

08 Mar '01

Ahhh, I'm venturing forth from my cave to post again. Today is my 25th birthday. 25 years ago today was the Kiss concert that my mom had to miss due to my birth. It rained that day--I wish it would rain today. Hmmm, it's Mickey Dolenz's birthday too. I got the LLPJ boxed set as an early birthday gift--god, B+S are incredible! I know that soooo many people have compared them to the Smiths already, but I have to do it again. It's not that they sound like them, but that B+S give me same feeling of awe and love all over again that my first Smiths records gave me when I was 14. And upon hearing "photo jenny", I thought, "oh, how sweet. Stuart has written a song about me." The only thing that could be better is a release of "the lonliness of a middle distance runner". I keep telling people who have no interest in the matter how great it is. I like Big Stu's comment about girls with glasses not being able to see your body when you take them to bed, hee hee! I myself am a bespectacled girl, although there have many periods that I didn't wear them out of vanity. I don't know who wrote this response to Dorothy Parker's famous couplet, but I read it somewhere: "Men who don't make passes At girls who wear glasses Are asses." Hmmm...nothing much going. Work, work, and more work. I've been cobbling together my own little website, the url of which is http://www.envy.nu/sevenveils. A little onanistic venture.

Sinister: scaling the cliffs of insanity
by Rachel Playforth 08 Mar '01

08 Mar '01

i've been in email limbo for a few days as my dear computer illiterate housemate accidentally deleted my password and of course i'd never bothered to remember it... but when i *finally* got through to the bt internet helpdesk i was seen to - ahem - by a scottish man named... Struan. yes! he was lovely too, even if he did cost 50p a minute. which is considerably more than my usual model, who can at times even be prevailed upon to read christina rosetti down the phone (but is useless at fixing computers.) re. big stu's point about girls with glasses being easy (or something like that): i now suspect that all my boyfriends to date have taken advantage of my short-sightedness, trusting that i won't notice their hairy, flabby, spotty bits. but in fact i don't really mind. god knows what trauma i would go through if i had laser surgery and saw an unblurry male body for the first time... last night i had a drunken conversation about how you would have cyber sex if you're into s&m (bible studies optional*). it ended up with me and matt (the cutest dj in brighton) deciding to market a whole range of products for this niche market - a mouse that gave you electric shocks, keyboards with spikes in the keys etc. any potential investors get in touch please.... smut quota filled i think. luv archel *content *************************************** 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.
