Sinister: where's that whip gone to...
by angel blackwell 05 Mar '01

05 Mar '01

morning sweeties...well, everyone's been posting so i thought i'd contribute something. strange fruit, toronto edition is happening this friday at rancho relaxo again. come one come all, and this time we might even remember to bring some b&s with us...last time we all figured "the other person" would bring their whole collection. we were all wrong, but were saved in the 11th hour, literally. it's a lot of fun actually and it's a been a really kewl crowd the last coupla times. we even thought we had an ashley macisaac sighting, but were never quite sure...heehee. i'm having a slight body crisis (again.) just when i get comfortable with how everything's looking or i've come to accept that i don't look like i used to...my scalp decides to fall off. grrr...it's my mother's fault. she wants to take a family photo before she goes back to england for a visit. she wants me to look normal...subtle way of asking me to grow some hair back. i think they should just take a photo of my sister with them, that's who everyone really wants to see...she is the prettiest indie girl in the world after all. oooh...saturday night was an eye opener. i was handing out condoms and latex gloves at ms. leather toronto 2001. i really don't know how to explain it. i tried my best to dress up for the part, le chateau pvc pants (i'm a homo after all,) 14 hole doc's, leather vest, and studded dog collar. believe me, i looked a little vanilla compared to the crowd. but man did i have fun. it was a pageant of sorts, but this was no miss america. "and now we've got contestant #3 with her sexual fantasy pantomime." i also saw the kewlest shoes in the world, they were really high heels, just no heels. they made the wearer look like they had barbie feet, or hooves, things were a little hazy by then. i got a little drunk so i left early and went to a 24hr market. nothing like walking down the dairy aisle in a studded dog collar and checking all the eggs in a carton. cheese and mushroom omelettes taste better at 3am. i was trying to search the archives on the soundtracky thing that b&s are doing...i thought someone figured out which movie it was, but i can't find it now. well, i'm pretty sure i've figured it out...along with everyone else i imagine. if they do release it all on a soundtrack album that would be very kewl. maybe they'll do a selma songs kinda thing... k...i'm supposed to be working, but i think i'll browse cd's. i've been listening to trashcan sinatras too much lately...it's time for new tunes. a. The crudity and sparness of life is to be found in public lavatories." -Leoni Orton-Barnett, sister of Joe Orton. _________________________________________________________________________ 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: B&S Live !
by Ben Ferneyhough 05 Mar '01

05 Mar '01

Hello all, What with B&S (maybe) undertaking a tour this year (possibly), I was wondering how many times people have actually seen them live. Just as sort of a snap-shot of the list to see how many times they've been 'experienced' !! If you have seen them (don't tell me you haven't !!), can you mail me PRIVATELY and I'll do a sort of census type thing. Hope this doesn't sound too nerdy and rubbish.

Sinister: play with Honey, Howards End, B+S stuff, and a song Arab Strap should cover.
by idleberry 05 Mar '01

05 Mar '01

Hello all, Strangest thing I saw this weekend... Some three year olds playing with this machine that tells you how horny you are... I never realised that anyone would actually need a machine to tell them anything like that. Out of interest, does Honey know that there is an adult toy with the same name? You know, a sort of pink-torpedo-look-a-like toy that makes a buzzing noise and looks like a torch without a light? (if you need more despcription, e mail and ask.) Got to read Howards End for today. Thankfully, my educated friends on popex, are currently giving me a low-down on what exactly its about. B+S stuff: sat making a tape of B+S for my friend last night. She heard Family Tree and liked it, so I sat and made her a tape. I called it "A crash Course in Belle and Sebastian" and have included all sorts of information for her. Including websites, a discography, whos-who, and what tracks are from which albums. Never got enough space to include any of the EPs or singles. Also made anther tape for another friend of a more variety of music, including Garbage, Curtis Mayfield, Mint Royale, Looper, B+S, Breeders, Lemonheads and Air. And loads of other stuff as well. Had great fun designing the wee card to go inside. Sat watching Kareoke Fish with boyfriend on Saturday night. We came to two comclusions: One for Sorrow (Steps) could easily be an Arab Strap song. Next time you hear it, simply filter it through your mind with a whingy-Scottish-git voice and voila! one Arab Strap song! Second conclusion: the fish looks like my flatmate. the tory sleazy one? I always found that fish a bit creepy. And I always found that flatmate as drunk as a fish and sounding like hes talking underwater. Now I have nothing more to say. I have cold fingers for some reason, and an empty mind. See you later, Camp B+S.

Sinister: Thankyou (for loving me at my worst)
by Gardiner, Stuart 05 Mar '01

05 Mar '01

The boy Mikkelsen mentioned the new Lucksmiths album. Which gives me the chance to rave again about how much good Aussie music there is out there at the moment. And to mention that supposedly sometime this month, the David Bridie album is finally going to be released in the UK. He used to be in My Friend The Chocolate Cake (possibly the greatest band name ever), and the solo stuff is wonderfully mellow, a bit Dido at times (which is a good thing), and my current choice of hangover music. Which means I listen to it quite a lot. Elsewhere, Julia mentioned her breasts purely so that she could be allowed to put picture of them on the body parts page, and I think this kind of behaviour should be encouraged. Disaster! I think my old cartoon B&S T-shirt might have finally bitten the dust, after 3 years of stirling service. I went to a popcorn party in Stoke on Saturday (like a foam party, except that the guns produced popcorn instead), and it degenerated into a popcorn fight. All my clothes (and I do mean ALL my clothes) were full of the stuff the next morning, and my T-shirt seems to have got stretched in the process when a couple of girls ambushed me. And I don't think it'll just shrink back in the wash. So, if you please, a moment's silence in memory of a fine item of clothing, and the best pulling aid I've ever owned. Relief! My tape player's finally been fixed, so I might be able to start making mix tapes again. Girls who wear glasses are undoubtedly a good thing. Because it means if you get them into bed they have to take them off, and they can't see what kind of state your body is in. It always worries me when newbies say they're too scared to say anything because of the quality of the other posts. Because it means they've never read any of the drivel I come out with. Take care, Big Stu +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: In this picture, there are 47 people. None of them can be seen....
by Jordi Trenzano 05 Mar '01

Hello helloooooo For me, the "47 people" sketch is one of the top 5 Monty Python Sketches. Other ones would be the Poetry of Ewan McTeagle or The argument sketch. I donŽt like purple, but our dear Jenowl is becoming one of my idols. I just sang once on a karaoke. Yes, I did. And I still wonder why I did it....... The soundtrack........iŽd like to know whoŽs the director.....and iŽm terribly terribly terribly curious about the songs. But really curious. Eeeeeek. Peter Miller is missing. Where is he ??? IŽll tape him the Godspeed you black emperor! album, and heŽll finally forget the bluddy Pink Floyd lads. Sigur Ros will be playing here on april. And so The Clientele. Should I learn some icelandic ??? I got my red/white B&S badge stolen. Buuaah. Yes, iŽm immitating Jenowl style at writing. Anything wrong ?? Take care !

Sinister: Begging for relief
by Jeremy Tweddle 05 Mar '01

05 Mar '01

Hello, This is my first post and you're all scaring me... I've been on the outer for a few months and watched patiently as concepts that I couldn't fully expand or exploit wafted past. I'm feeling somewhat akin to a little kid at school who gets recognised by one of the big kids, and staggers dizzily around for the rest of the day, hoping to turn another corner and feel the thrill of minor recognition once more. Well, by now you're either moving on to another message in the hope that your lack of response will shatter my spirits and instantaneously destroy my will to post, or you could just be asking why it is that I've chosen this moment in particular to break my vow of silence. Then again you might not be thinking either, and I may have bored you sufficiently already for your brain to go for a nice quiet walk, on the off chance that somebody else is saying something more interesting somewhere else. Sorry about that. I got a little bit carried away. Now, my reason for posting... Yesterday, Gordon wrote something along the lines of > I had a similar experience whilst shopping in Euralille a few years > back, in which a girl said "doucement". This sound remained with me for > hours, miles even, all the way to St.Raphael on the Cote d'Azur the > following morning, where a couple of equally charming (but cunning) > women took the trouble to relieve me of most of my luggage, from the > rack at the far end of the railway carriage, including a rather fabulous > (and brand new) artificial-fibre black polo-neck from... Marks & > Spencer. It got me thinking about the "relief" of items. It is a well established concept that people often have items in their possession relieved of their presence. Does this then mean that the item in question is unhappy with it's station in life and pleads with passing strangers to relieve it of it's misery? Could this mean that a kleptomaniac is just someone who can't bear to see items in need of relief? The theory does stand up (to a point of course) when used in reference to B&S. You don't hear of original pressings of tigermilk being in need of relief from their oppressors. Therefore it must mean that when an item is relieved of personage, it must be a) horribly depressed or b) possessed by (in the case of B&S especially) an unworthy owner. Of course my theories are completely destroyed when one brings into consideration the polo-neck. How a delicious creature can be so unhappy as to be relieved when still unsoiled is a mystery even to me. I would like to thank the few of you that have lasted the tiresome length of my opening opus and hopefully give you great relief in the knowledge that it shall not be repeated for a long while as I'm now going to go and sit in the corner and hang my head in shame. Thank you for your considerable time.

Sinister: The boy sung song again
by Kenneth P Y Chu 05 Mar '01

05 Mar '01

Hello, Hmm, what a lovely week I've had, done loads of lovely things, met loads of lovely people, ate loads of lovely food, and drank loads of lovely drinks, and even sang lovely (well apart from my singing part) karaoke! Lovely days are great, apart from one thing. Travelling home on your own after a great day out can be one of the most horrid times ever. After the euphoria and joy wear off, you suddenly realise that the only things that keep you from being alone are your reflections on the window pane, and the faint memories of the smiles and laughter that was just there with you moments before but which will not return for at least another day, another month, another lifetime. At least there are always some of that memory which do willingly stay put with you for a bit, that reminds you that for a moment at least, that you had a good time, making you smile and swoon briefly before falling back into reality again. I guess that is why driving home is better than taking public transport, because you will appear a complete nutter when you periodically rotate from smiling to swooning to sighing to sulking to smiling again, as I have discovered. But of course whilst travelling home after a lovely day out, there is also the comfort in the knowledge that when you do get home and into bed, you are probably going to have a very sweet dream indeed!
