Sinister: Napster...
by Histrianic＠aol.com 28 Mar '01

28 Mar '01

I was trying to look up some of the new Aerosmith songs on Napster, because I didn't want to spend more money on CDs. So I looked up Aerosmith and 'Jaded'. But I got the reply that there were no matching files found!! I was confused by this, until I looked up just Aerosmith. I got replies that said 'Jadded', instead of 'Jaded'. And they retitled the album 'Just Press Play' instead of 'Just Push Play'. I find this interesting for some reason. And sad. But more interesting than sad. Anyhow, I learned how to play 'The Model' today. I don't like some of the chords in it, but I really like the song. So I am happy. Today is Wednesday. Tomorrow is Thursday. I have no free time on Thursdays. Thursday is not my favorite day. I have discovered that I really like peach yogurt. Having a cup of peach yogurt makes me excessively happy. I am a really simple-minded being. I have twenty dollars in quarters. That's eighty quarters. So although I have twenty dollars, I can't spend any of it. But having pockets full of heavy coins is surprisingly satisfying. I think I am going to go do my religion homework. I am going to stop procrastinating. Which brings me to the point of my new coffee mug. It's red with a yellow and gray rim, and it says 'What Deadline?' on it. I thought it fit me perfectly. As well as my AIM buddy icon, which says 'Be a Bum'. If you saw my room last term, you'd understand. Now it is clean, only because my parents came in and cleaned it for five hours while I slept. I felt like a spoiled ingrate. But that's ok. And I'm really going to go now and do my homework like a good little girl. Lots of love, an electronic dog, and a ceramic toilet. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

howdy all it *is* a bit quiet round here lately, isn't it? but >jer said:- >ok lets make up a word, "shnickle" now lets define it. a song has >"Shnickle" if it is easy to play, but sounds grate. the more shnickle a >song has the greater the ratio of goodness to easiness. clearly the song >with the most shnickle is "The Rollercoaster Ride" by some band that i cant >seem to remember right now. i think they might be canadian or something, i agree wholeheartedly with this, another song with lots of "shnickle" is 'one' by U2, spinetingling stuff, http://www.harmony-central.com/Guitar/OLGA/all/u2.html another spinetingling song is'there is a light that never goes out' by the smiths which i recently heard a cover of by, i think, friendship 7, from new york (anybody heard of?) being played by mark and lard and you'd think that is an untouchable song, that anybody covering it can do no good but it was sooo good that hairs *did* actually did stand up, niiice. also kings of convinience's new single 'toxic girl' has had strings added since it's original incarnation on the playing live in a room EP and they sound a bit cheesy when they kick in but they really help the song later on, also the andy votel mix of winnind a battle... is G|R|A|T|E, so there. so i looked through my old posts to find out if i had mentioned any body parts and was surprized at how many i had! face (twice) flares (well they're constantly with me) thumb arse (twice) fingers (twice) lip brain hands (twice) and throat so, honey, expect a bunch of pictures or a big one with the relevant annotations, ok? luv 'n gaffa tape pez* www.pez.com - the wonderful world of pez ;) ivorytowers.8m.com - ivory towers records www.drpez.com - Dr Pez, Spain's premier fish doctor (i think) _________________________________________________________________________ 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: Madame Feltz and the case of the ribena-soaked carpets...
by Nik Ovenden 28 Mar '01

28 Mar '01

ATP ATP ATP ATP ATP ATP ATP ATP ATP ATP ATP ATP ATP: Is a meetup set up yet? keep an eye on the message board for a pancake/poker/post-rock party (and everything else beginning with P). And Calexico. they're very good. There is one dilemma: This is Spinal Tap is on the Beeb on Saturday night! hmm, what to do...do Lambchop's amps go up to 11? EDINBURGH: my offer came through! BBB and i'm in...yippee!!!! so, scotland. i'll need to start drinking now, and hopefully in 18 months time then i'll be ready to face hardened scottish drinkers. and scottish accents...mmm... Weiner Dog: When Jason McKinnon mentioned above words, was he referring in context to the fabulously funny Norm Show? (Tuesday nights, 9pm, E4) if not, at least i got a plug in for it. Idea(l)s: well done to Gordon for mentioning this. if he mentioned it because he was referring to both ideas and ideals, then i'm mentioning it for another reason, that being region. Somerset. land of the farmers accent. Is there a 'twang' in your local dialect that bothers you? mine is how some people talk about really good "idea(l)s" that they have. grr. RIBENA: the most disturbing of my messages. While i was away last weekend (at an African drumming and Dance workshop no less, dahling, how bourgeois!), i was informed that Vanessa Feltz's house was ransacked. While this may not bother many of you, may i add that the ransacking included the application to carpets, walls etc. with RIBENA AND MILK!!!!! and this coming only 2/3 days after the end of our ribena messaging service. is there a saboteur among us who wishes to leave cryptic pre-raphaelite brotherhood style messages to us? if so, cool! if not, well, it's still a bloody big coincidence that they chose to use those tools... LONELINESS we'll see how that's like in a fortnight. i really hope that there are women out there who'd like a nice, sensitive, caring, listening and passionate guy...so long as looks aren't an issue... Um...i'll leave you all again. Paint The Ants, Love Niko xxx __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!

Sinister: Too many things to go around these days...
by elenita99 28 Mar '01

28 Mar '01

Hullo, Last week I adopted a pet. It is a plastic pink and blue cockroach, he is called Bobby and he is French too, and he was born in a Kinder Egg, and he has got nice legs that I can chew. These things that happen to me when I am on the bus back home. My boss made my day yesterday, because he gave me my week end off to go to ATP. Well he doesn't really know I am going to ATP, I put on my little "I work hard and I am tired and I need a week end off" face and he gave me my week end. So now I am all excited about meeting people and gigs and drinks and walking bare feet in the sand. These things that my boss does for me. My mum came over to visit me for 48 hours, no more no less. I took her to every single place in London she wanted to see and that was a lot of places, including taking smiley pictures in front of Buckingham Palace. My flatmates helped me to clean the house before she arrived and she was all impressed. These things that mothers make you do. First London picnic scheduled for the 5th of May. Mmm now we have to decide where it is going to happen. For some obvious reasons (like I live 5 minutes away) I am pretty keen on the Green-Witch idea but well, I can travel. It is going to be such a great day I am sure, I can't wait. These things that we drink and eat and drink again at picnics. Now that my mum had left me with no energy and no food in the fridge I have to go and get some food and study. Oh well, maybe I will just collapse in my bed until tomorrow morning when the alarm will tell me to go to work. These things that you have to do to pay your bills.

Sinister: Everybody's Talkin'
by Lucy Alder 28 Mar '01

28 Mar '01

Hello all Glad to see some people are writing again. It gives me the willies a bit when Sinister goes all quiet like that (and makes my day considerably duller). I was sitting in front of my pooter scratching my head and wracking (or should that be racking?) my brain to come up with something to post about but, well, I just didn't feel like it, sort of, so I kept schtum. However, I did spot this on the NME website, which means that my post is pure, unadulterated content. Howzat! http://www.nme.com/NME/External/News/News_Story/0,1004,22502,00.html Our chalet is going to be the bestest, absolutely, without question.

Sinister: Moving It South West
by Clarke, Sarah J (EU) 28 Mar '01

28 Mar '01

Hello! I'm going to talk about decapitation today! It is related to list business, because you would definetly leave a ...TRAIL OF DEAD(death), and since when have they been unrelated to anything? Especially tunes? So! Reading about decapitation on tube trains has made me feel a little unsafe, sitting at my desk with neck exposed to the elements. I know it is unlikely that a tubular train will rush through my office and tear open my neck with harsh steel wheels exposing the raw sinew (as opposed to the cooked sinew I have in my butties) to the acidic daffodill scented air of the third floor, but still, it's not unreasonable to casually retain a hand on your neck in caution, is it? For the past ten minutes I have been shuddering whilst visions of wheels slicing through my neck and my lifeblood splattering the filing system. Does anyone else dwell on graphic visions of their distasteful death in unlikely circumstances? I know a few of you dwell on thoughts of Isobel Campbell, which I imagine to be just as distasteful, if less "tomato ketchup" splattered. Actually, I could carry on and be even MORE distasteful but I won't! Eww!! No don't worry, I am sure that listening to "Beyond the Sunrise" or "The Gate" would be better than decapitation by tube train, no honestly! Was that a bit too morbid above? I don't really mean it. Just such an easy target...You should know what I think about when I'm *really* bleakly depressed, rather than just bored mindlessly. But there is hope. Bring it on, lunch! I didn't have a dream about BelleNSebastian but I had a dream in which someone who has one of their records (ie me) popped up, so I'm going to tell you about it. In the kitchen on Saturday whilst waiting for a party to start "swinging", I told the gathered group of kitchen dream analysts. They say it is a surprise that I have it together enough to leave the house. I only leave the house because I have to work, I tell them. If I had an option I am sure staying in bed all the time would be a life choice, if rather a depresing one filled with bedsores... ah yes. The main thing that happened was that my teeth fell out. Apparently in boys, this is classic fear of castration. I am a girl. So then someone said it means I fear lack of control and it represents my insecurities in the world. I said they fell out whilst I was surrounded by my entire family. OH, you're *really* insecure, they said. AND the boy I'm currently over-obsessed with. AND I was in my pyjamas, at a posh party. And THEN my clothes started falling off, and I was trying to hold them up, whilst holding half of my teeth and spitting blood! *gurgle*... Then everybodys head exploded with the godammed symbolism of it all. What do any pop psychologists here think? I'm reading "On Kissing, Tickling, and Being Bored". I will consult.

hey there... ...i thought you had all run away to sea for a minute, leaving me cold and alone with only an apple and some twigs for company..i dont even like apples...wouldnt that be lovely though?...a big sinister cruise liner with 1500 people swimming around in the pool, drinking ribena cocktails and playing that game with hoops that people are always playing on old-fashioned cruiseliners...i wonder who could do the cabaret?... jason A said: "Hmmmmm i have been on the hunt for a b&s shirt for so long now" ...i have been too although i suppose i could quite easily aquire one through the means of this new fangled internet thing...i just havent got round to it..curse my lack of motivation for everything...i made one myself a couple of weeks ago but due to the nasty weather i havent worn it yet...its a spangly red colour with '3..6..9 seconds of light" written haphazardly in yellow paint...i fear i may be mistaken for a crazed manics fan wearing a badly constructed homemade t-shirt...i am just crazed... ...i seem to be stuck in an eternal state of waiting for *things* to happen at the moment...exams,summer and the rest of my life just seem so faraway...i'm forever waiting for things to arrive...i suppose i should be aggressive and seize the moment...but i've never been into seizing things much..its a curse and a blessing in equal measures...i know this is just one of many of lifes ruts i shall be stuck in but...i dont know...life just seems so slow sometimes...and other times it goes too fast and i cant keep up with anything...life is one big routine..in the wise words of clearlake...what we really need is some variety..something to look forward too... ..speaking of clearlake (i'm getting good at this) i believe the album will be out in a matter of days..this had me jumping up and down like a giddy person...until i realised i havent a penny to spend..well at least not on such extravagances as cds...i have a list as long as my arm of albums i want but my financial situation wouldnt even allow me a third hand copy of 'sandie shaw : 20 golden greats'...ho hum...i think i'll go and finish watching the colourfully camp cliff richard musical thats on TV...that guy really should be knighted...hmmmmm... ta ta.... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: A message from Stevie
by Neil Robertson 28 Mar '01

28 Mar '01

Hello everybody This is Stevie from B&S. Mick suggested I post something on the Sinister Board. Now normally I wouldn't expect anybody to listen to anything I had to say and that is the natural way to be after all, what the hell do I know? However in life there can be exceptions to the rule and I guess this is one of them. O.K. here goes. There is a gig on Wednesday the 11th of April at Nice'n'Sleazy featuring `The Aislers Set`. You should go, you will thank me as they truly rank with the greats, well they're my favourite group anyway. So much do I love them that I've been moved to arrange a gig for them in Glasgow as part of their British tour. O.K so I have a personal interest in the success of this gig but really, that changes nothing, this group are incredible and you shouldn't miss them, Oh yeah, they're from San Francisco by the way and some of you may have heard of them already. They've got a record out called `Last Match` on Fortuna Pop. It's their second LP. They've got another one called `Terrible Things Happen` but I don't know if that is available in this country. Support comes from `Airport Girl` and errrrrr...`Me` well you shouldn't worry too much about that I'll be on first and Sleazy's sell excellent cocktails upstairs ( Airport Girl are also well cool by the way). Well, thanks for your attention, I hope you can make it, you'll be really doing yourself a favor. Incidentally there is another gig on Friday the 6th also at Sleazys. It's a Scottish Socialist Party benefit and some of the group will be there doing some kind of covers set, Teenage Fanclub are also appearing doing a set without guitars which is intriguing. Tickets are =A37 and go sail from `Missing Records` on Gt Western Road Glasgow tomorrow I think. O.K.

Sinister: jazz mag shocker
by Paul Arathoon 28 Mar '01

28 Mar '01

In the rather poorly written bowels of this weeks NME is a nice little quote from stu m tacked on to a "story" about Mani from Primal Scream appearing in Club International (not to be confused with a magazine about the comforts of flying club class) Referring to the fact that Fold Your Feet You Sqwuak Like a Pheasant has just been voted best RAWK album of the year by Playboy in the US he says "I'm glad our fans come clean and read jazz mags rather than those shitey men's magazines" Well there you go. Stu M advocates porn for all. and Playboy US advocates B&S for all. Maybe Hugh Hefner could sponsor the forthcoming tour. and in return B&S could licence him Judy Is A Dick Slap. paul _________________________________________________________________________ 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: only b&s can brighten my rainy day
by Carmel Petra Wright 28 Mar '01

28 Mar '01

I had a really crappy day today. I intern at a classic rock radio station here in rainy portland and for once, I love something i'm doing. Now my school won't let me continue it because I can only get credit for one semester of internship and it's unpaid, so I can't do much about it. Just like that, my fun is over. So, I'm rather sad. I also have to take a speech class from the hardest and meanest prof. here....great. Now I'm at my other job and it's boring as usual. so, I received a b&s video in the mail today--yay! A live performance in Paris from 1998. I have only watched about 6 or 7 songs worth, but it is quite fabulous. Since I'm so deprived, I have never seen them live, so better this than nothing. so, that's it for another rainy day in Portland. Carmel ===== "There's so much world outside the door I want to sing To sing my song I want to live in a world where I'll be strong I want to live I will survive And I believe that it won't be very long" ~~~Travis~~~ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
