Sinister: Shock Me, Shock Me, Shock Me with that deviant behavior
by Laura Llew 06 Mar '01

06 Mar '01

My friends, my fiends, my foppish foes~ Not more than three days have passed since I last haunted your inboxes and here I am, yet again. What cataclysmic event could cause such a an occurence? For even though my posts are even longer than McMcMc's "list of references," I usually give you enough time to recover before I hit again. You know only the most drastic of things could cause such a premature reappearance from me.* Yes. This post actually contains "content" No need to check my temperature since it actually didn't originate from me. It happens that there is a lovely lass in the nursery named Isobel. Well, that's Miss Stevenson to you since she is currently training to be a teacher. That's right, kids, one wrong word from you and she shall quickly smother your knuckles with the attention they deserve from her ruler. She's a strict task mistress indeed! (Sorry, Isobel, I most likely just caused you to already have an adoring following before you even started your ministry). Without further ado, I shall now turn the time over to Ms. Stevenson: ********* Belle and Sebastian. They win best rock album, wow! In Playboy, oh my! Runner up are they... For best rock group of the year. Metallica wins. Winners decided... >From readers of magazine... Must be a few here. A few list members... Are they responsible, hmmm? For this smut success. Belle and Sebastian awarded Rock album of the year in Playboy Magazine's 35th annual reader's poll (page 129 of the April 2001 issue for all you subscribers and readers out there). I find this quite shocking. Not really...many of you are lovers of smut. Enough said. Thanks to Chuck, my boyfriend's roommate, for the notice of the award and for the page number. Bye bye for now. Have a good day. Back to lurking and hiding amongst the binary information exchanges on the list... ms. stevenson, lover of smut and such and anything twee. xo *********** * I can assure that it certainly isn't to express sympathy to Big Stu because of his recent loss of clothing. The poor boy's shirt was ruined because girls were fighting over him. Sorry, Stuey, it inspires the same lack of compassion I have for people who have ice cream headaches. I'm heartless, I know. _________________________________________________________________ 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: FF is not a crime! Fine feathers, that is. What did you think?
by jarkko frantila 06 Mar '01

06 Mar '01

I'd like to get some pictures with titties and feet in it. I know that's a bit tricky, but you could ask your friend to pose with you, ok? Nice, round thingies with pretty little... Sorry, wrong list. I think it was LauraLlew and a bunch of others who said something about girls with glasses not being that "popular" and not pulling enough. What? Take that back right now! You hear me? NOW! Give me a naked girl who wears glasses and I'll give you some other pictures in exchange. No, but really: girls with glasses actually do look more sophisticated, and in my book brains = sexappeal. What I'm afraid is women who are taller than me. I'm a small guy, and tall women always look like they could beat the crap out of me. I don't know why. Also, keeping up the whole sMuT- vibe: People have been dreaming about DaMoore. That's a freaky coincidence, since in my head I keep having these obsessive, homosexual fantasies about his bare chest. I've spent hours and hours lying awake on my bed, just letting my imagination run wild. But I can understand why women find him attractive. Women love guys with long hair (at least in those Playboy fantasies). Women also love guys in uniform. Davy has them both: check out Sinister photos for evidence. Lucky sod. MuSic: Nothing much. Got the new Divine Comedy album last friday, and it's brilliant, nothing like the old stuff, this time it's more acoustic and the songs aren't that clever-clever-clever this time, no "funny" songs about National Express or Sweden... Which is a good thing. One word: Beautiful. B&S: New singles would be nice, but since I'm certain they are not coming to Finland, I hope they wouldn't tour at all. Same goes to Hefner: Stop touring, you fine bands! All we got was fucking Muse and that silly guy with blue hair and spotty face. -Jarkko F. ps: If something inside this message got you horny, seek professional help. _________________________________________________________________________ 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: A Taste of (Miss) Honey
by Brier Random 06 Mar '01

06 Mar '01

If you're like me (and if you are, may God help you), you've always wanted to know what List-mum Honey looks like. I think we all have our own mental image. Mine, I think, was something like a cross between Mary Tyler Moore and the guy from the "William It Was Really Nothing" sleeve. But how wrong I was. How do I know? Because I've finally seen a picture of our Honey. She'll probably never forgive me for spilling the beans like this. But if she wanted her image to remain forever shrouded in mystery, then she shouldn't have agreed to appear on the cover of her autobiography, which I ran across at Borders yesterday and posessively clutched to my chest as I practically ran to the check-out counter. She's really much lovelier than I ever imagined. But if you'd like your mental image not erased by hard evidence, then don't look. For all curious others, the front cover of the book (which is an excellent read, too) is here: http://www.missprint.org/sinister/things/MissHoneysAutoBiog.html I read it for a second time tonight, as the pouring dashing rain continues to pound my Santa Barbara. I shouldn't really complain though, because it's dumping snow everywhere else. But at least snow is pretty. Water really isn't. And I wrote a column for our local free weekly, about what's happening music-wise here in SB. I actually managed to name-check Belle et Sebby, if only in comparison to The Microphones (who played here on Friday). But I believe it was the first mention of our favorite band to appear in any local media here. Ever. And I also managed to sneak in quotes by Bukowski and F.S. Fitzgerald, which I consider a personal triumph. And I'm watching a Discovery Channel show on cats. Housecats. Didja know that the width of their whiskers equals the width of their body at its widest point? So when they try to walk through a tight spot, if their whiskers touch the sides, they know they won't fit thru. And I sit listening to the rain outside. And my mind wanders to every girl I've ever loved. And I wonder where they all are now. My whiskers brushed against their sides, I guess. Somebody else is loving them. And I walk about in my floppy shorts, smoking too many cigarettes, trying to make drama out of no damned progress at all. But I hold fast to the tremble-wavering spirits that boost us in these strange strange times.

Sinister: pathetic ramblings
by David Geraghty 05 Mar '01

05 Mar '01

so, look at me. mr selfish. yes, i don't post for ages, i have nothing to say, then suddenly as soon as i want something, i post. it's actually ken 'n' carsmiles fault. they saw me hyperventilate in #sinister and offered some advice. basically, i'm after a ticket for *yawn* ATP. yes, i left it late. yes, i am useless. yes...etc. but, my boys told me to ask you wonderful people. you never know, they said, someone might have one and might not have a pathological hatred towards you and let you buy it. so here goes. does anyone have a ticket for ATP going spare? i'll take it off your hands. i'll even agree to not hang out with you if you don't want to. so..anyway.... i thought i should perhaps make this post somehow relevant. i still love isobel forgive me for my sins. take care david ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- i wanna see movies of my dreams - built to spill +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: timid wave from a stranded student
by stuart hallifax 05 Mar '01

05 Mar '01

Hi sinister! *waves timidly* i'm (yet another) new person fresh from the nursery. not much good at long messages, but here goes. just thought i'd say hello. i'm stuart, a student at york, and i was scared to write at first but was encouraged by one of the messgaes today (sorry, i can't remember who it was) not to be. just found an mp3 on napster claiming to be the instrumental 'tigermilk', so i thought i'd check it out. so far sounds like its them, but hard to tell on an instrumental. speaking of mp3's the ones from the glasgow gig have reached their download limit, which is very frustrating. > >Here's my question for sinister. What is the best > Monty Python sketch ever? i'd have to say the ministry of silly walks (a classic!), the hungarian phrase book and the fish dance would be my favourite non-parrot related python sketches. but i'm sure that'll all change when i watch it again. much as i hate the cold weather up here in york (oh for sunny old essex.....hmmm). the frozen uni lake gives the most amusing spectacle of ducks walking on ice. or even better running on ice. fantastic. oh well, thats me done. thanks for reading, stuart h. ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Socks seem to solve the problem...
by John Jennings 05 Mar '01

05 Mar '01

Ooh crikey two posts in two days... strange that, seeing as i hadn't posted for months before yesterday... aah well... ooh btw, my post yesterday had the subject line 'my feet are cold' and i posted it just after gordon had posted 'may the feet remain at a respectful distance from the mouth (unless you're into that sort of thing)' and i felt sort of stupid and embarrassed... there was no link people... and yes someone did pick up on it this isn't just me being paranoid... i'm wasn't being dirty or anything...eek... I was thinking why sinister only gets 10 or 15 posts a day when it has all those subscribers... what are the 900 odd people who never post getting out of it i wonder... for 'tis greaat fun posting methinks... except that people ignore you and you get desperate and post twice in two days... hoho... Actually people didn't ignore me thats lying... I found another fan in Leicester!! woo-hoo... good morning Madelein - i'll email you in a second after this... this is a most exciting development, you don't realise how b&s deprived this part of the country is... at the last count there were 8 fans altogether in the city weren't there tom? (mentioned you by name this time ;). I'm listening to Gorky's Zygotic Mynci at the moment... Poodle rocking is a cool song... i need some new b&s music though... and sleeka Chris has reached his I-Drive limit =( grr... aaanyhow... Ooh Monty Python... are we allowed films then? My favourite moment is an obscure one sorry... the end of 'the meaning of life' where the grim reaper turns up to their dinner party... hoho 'tis great... "You're all dead" he tells them. "Well how rude! You barge in here uninvited and then you tells us we're all dead!" Hehe... probably best to watch it actually... Dum de dum... Roight thats it...

Sinister: list of wonderful things in life
by ulla 05 Mar '01

05 Mar '01

*ahem (just cleared my throat, it's been a while since i posted last time) hei i walked to school today. it took quite a while cause streets are covered with ice. but that was ok still, i saw many lovely things on my way. like: beautiful icicles nestled on a branch of a huge tree or old russian lady who recited a self made poem of everyday things while walking down the road or blue balloon carried by the wind or nice boy who smiled at me just to mention some. otherwise it is such a mess in my life right now. i have to work like a slave to balance my school and work in an architect office. but i will write my theses this year so it must get better soon. sure it will. maybe. i'm quite jelous about all of you who have seen belle and sebastian live, though. not in a bad way, don't get me wrong, i'm happy that you have. still wish i would be so lucky. thank you, david for the report, it almost felt like...i was there. ...but i will. maybe this summer. yes. there are not many b&s people around here. just some (tsau, maarit) and some are quite close, in finland (i miss you, maria and jarkko and janne). but it's ok, you all make me feel like there are many around here. which is great. thank you. till next time. hugs to you all. ulla p.s i'm also grateful to peter for Girl nr.12. post full of sincerety. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: trinkets and baubles are yours...
by sophie * 05 Mar '01

05 Mar '01

* bunnies! and what freak weather conditions has today brought you? earthquakes? snow? today here is sunny and blossomy. and people at verk have brought back toffee from edin-burgh (like chris de burgh, only... oh dear), called 'highland toffee'. you have to smash it with a hammer. it's v nice, and not too sticky. i feel v v sick now though, but the smashing is so much fun. ooh, ooh, but i've found a *particularly* good cure for over-sweetness - it's *apple* ribena!! (what do 'bena purists feel about the new flavours? jenowl?) - particulary right when taken with choco-late. even better when hungover on train to work - apple 'bena and chocolate nutri-grain bar! i have a sneaking suspicion that nutri grain bars may be, in some way, eville. anyhoo. i think geri's new look is rubbish. i liked her in her sequinned swimming cossie days. maybe because i always wanted to be a synchronised swimmer, i dunno. * >Here's my question for sinister. What is the best Monty Python sketch ever? my monty p nominations are mostly from 'and the holy grail' (a bit like 'and you will know us by the trail of the' - no?) - is a fil-m allowed? bestest bits - the black knight sketch, the brave sir robin song, 'fetchez la vache', and when king arthur says 'a duck', and everyone gasps. and the perky ex-leper bit in life of brian, (but that may be because i have a crush on young michael palin - sshh). funny, was watching life of b. last sun night, and at the crucifixion bit at the end, i wanted to cry. sometimes it's nice feeling tired and emotional, 'cause it makes you look after yourself better in a duvet on the sofa kinda way. was also *gutted*, really furrowy brow-y about the rector business, as had just assumed sm would win by a landslide, silly me. and felt properly sick about not seeing *the* gig. oh, but the report was fab - david, i imagined you like jimmy thingy off superman, in a beige mac, with a hat with a big 'PRESS' card in it. >There were 3 spoilt papers somehow, i find this touching. i like that people can be relied upon to spoil their papers, and i like that it's called 'spoiling'. * >Berkely or Berkely? it's Beserkly! as in Jonathan Richman - the Beserkly Years. do i always talk about jr? next time i will talk about the beta band, and beards in rock. * love and kisses sweeties, and a going-home party bag xsoph * _________________________________________________________________________ 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 your b&s belong to us (i can't believe no one's used this as a heading yet)
by Hewitt, Stephen 05 Mar '01

05 Mar '01

Lots of things to comment on today, but first things first. Today's Guardian, Office hours section, what an attractive page three model they have, showing us the exercises he uses to keep himself so skinny. El nene said Karaoke was more fun than ddr and she was, quite obviously, correct. I don't know if i have time to do hopkin's rendition of rainy days and mondays justice here, not to mention tag's timely "don't you forget about me" and we had forgotten, hadn't we... Mooro said: Hmm. Students sitting on the floor at gigs - that's pretty 70's. I'm not sure that it is, it's certainly been endemic throughout my 10 years of gig going, and while i like a nice seat to watch a gig, as long as i can see over people's heads, i'd never sit on the floor. I know what crap, fag ash etc *i* drop on the floor and I'm quite tidy (and it makes you look like a fuckin' 'ippy). Simply everyone's talking mix tapes these days which proves that sini is working very well behind the scenes of gobby buggers like me who post frequently. Mistopher chris said: Spotted - there's a file missing just now, 13 Sympathy for the Devil & Legal man. which if course is THE ONE WE ALL WANT TO HEAR, well i do anyway, woo-woo. Thank you very much anyway. Jordi said: Sigur Ros will be playing here on april. And so The Clientele. Should I learn some icelandic ??? I don't think the Clientele speak icelandic, they don't even know the tune to "Fever", unlike my new friend Minx who did a very good versh of it on Friday. Idles asks us to think of Honey as some sort of sex aid, which of course she already is, having allowed a lot of people to meet and have sex. Well that and the fact that she's pink and she hums (but only cos she doesn't know the words). Smut has been rather high on the agenda this week end, what with Big Stu muttering about body parts, Angle Blackwell talking about leather whatchamacallits and Owen posting (for those of you who are new and wonder what all the fuss is about the Narrow Wizard, go to the archives and search for "and suddenly all her clothes fell off" for details of his exploits, probably) and i say, KEEP IT UP SINISTER (fnarr). that's *my* coat is it? xoxo CarsmileSteve so who else is going to ATP, apart from my chalet, the scottish/moore chalet, the mell st chalet and the hopkins/welthorpe chalet? Come on, i want to meet some new people :) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: last train to kennington
by eric 05 Mar '01

05 Mar '01

hello sinister. oh god, here he is again, you say. well, maybe you're not saying that. maybe you're saying, "I really hate the fact that my toe hurts." and you would be correct. so basically I'm writing to ask if anyone out there knows of any keen things to do in glasgow, as I'm going there next week. I'm only going to be there during the week, however, so don't send me any cool weekend-type things, or I'll have to get jealous and hurt someone. or run away, either one. I have to bring up napster again, because it helps me get through my library shift because I download b&s songs and dance in my chair, and something that allows me the opportunity to dance in a library can't be all bad. right, I didn't think so. I love top of the pops 2. -eric ps hi sarah! and lila. and jp. who I hope is feeling better. ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
