Sinister: i think headaches are quite contagious.
by TeaandOctane＠aol.com 23 Mar '01

23 Mar '01

my best friend had a migraine. now i seemed to have caught it. must be something going around ... on that note, i'm going to write a very dull, business as usual type of mail. someone wrote about the wilco/billy bragg thing. that album is amazing. i'm not often given to whimsy on any level, but i was literally floored after hearing it ... ok, i can't back that up. however, it is an amazing album. the lyrics make me insanely jealous. i wonder if there is some way to tap the woody gutherie part of my brain. i've also been listening to les savy fav a whole lot. i'm not sure if that fact is terribly impressive on this list ... but i find both their musical style and lyrics wonderfully refreshing. its been quite some time that i've had any real enthusiasm towards any rock and roll at all. i shall now attempt to drift off into another sleepless night ... this time, i will try belle and sebastian as a nice calming element. i can only listen to one side though, because i'll be too lazy to get up and flip the record over. -kim +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: come on my face(ts) ; DOUBLE the fun!
by jessica stuart 23 Mar '01

23 Mar '01

it's kiki and susie all.. but changing the names to protect the innocent... we'll just say it's listdomlisa and jeia....so watch out kiddies (including you captain burke). just another fun filled day of producing pseudo-films! wish you could've been there... guess you would have had to be to know. B&S in the background ... along with some BS in the foreground. yep. (maybe some nudity) did someone mention anything about male dom's? because as far as we are concerned... and any professionals in the profession (err) KNOW... for a fact... males are not allowed to be dominatrix's ... only submissives. BUT HEY... if it WERE possible (in the professional world) there is a certain >brier random< who would be making quite the amount of dough off of listdomlisa. (squeezes his CHEEK) so ... we couldn't go to see LOW (overseas)... however there was quite an event to attend here in the wholesome US of Assholes . EVEN BETTER than ribena and sour mix with red bull .... (if i'd ever tried it) it's (drumroll) the peanuts VS. the muppets in a wrestling match! woohoo! wanna take a vote? who is the most "B&S esque." listdomlisa> "jeff burke did you crush on me?! (and if not.. don't make me play the guessing game.. *winks*) or atleast give me a HINT" jeia> "sinistercrush..uhh uhuh." well let's not take up too much of our precious time to post ... and not to mention that we have concluded that flirting with a threesome minus one type of post is just a particularly lame idea.. A TOTAL FAILURE .... don't hold it aganst us.. too much of that JOSE CUERVO ("you are a friend of mine") and count choculaaaaaa ... it won't ever happen again ... brownies honor, MISS HONEY :) ok... enough is enough... thanks for being there when you needed us all of you wonderful, beautiful B&S fans.... -listdomlisa stumbling off all ridiculous and laughing at herself. -jeia i don't need to do my usual shout(listdom) _________________________________________________________________ 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: Stone Lions, Paper Tigers
by David Moore 22 Mar '01

22 Mar '01

Hi All, The new Michael Shelley album, "Too Many Movies" has Chris & Stevie playing on 5 tracks. I've been struggling to think up a really exciting review but fear I can't avoid damning it with faint praise. Its OK, its nice, its an alright indie album, unremarkable except for the fact that 2 memvers of Belle & Sebastian play on it. I *do* like Baby's In A Bad Mood tonight, though. As I said before. Apparently Stevie & Chris appear on Astrid's "Play Dead" album, too. Maybe I'll have better luck with that. I see that the Fragrant Princess Honey has found the time to add some pretty pictures to the Photo Pages recently. One is called Harem. However I can't work out whether the guy in the picture is supposed to be the owner of said seraglio or its guardian*. (*Omar K. Castrato) There is also one of the The Pinefox: ummmm, pinch, sizzle! RIBENA LOVING YOU TOO LONG Big Stu: Surely the problem with the likes of Ribena manufacturer Glaxo Wellcome is not that they made Beagles smoke a load of fags 20 years ago or whatever it was but what they are doing *now*: getting distraught & illiterate relatives in Africa to sign consent forms so that they can test experimental drugs on human patients, & refusing to allow the licensing of generic forms of their patented medicines that could save the lives of hundreds of thousands of AIDS sufferers. Anyway, I am as hypocritical as the next person. I'd drink Ribena if I liked it & I not only eat KitKats & Milky Bars but sell hundreds every week. My only worry is when searching for "Ribena" in the Sinister archives produces 4 times as many results as a search for say, "Belle & Sebastian". Props to Llllaura for the name check - I knew I could depend on you :) Splat! wears white socks.

Sinister: visuals?
by Hannah Brown 22 Mar '01

22 Mar '01

Brilliant! Um, visuals are something i do in my spare time. Basically me and some friends go to clubs and bars and show films we've done, mainly on super8. We also have this great thing where we get a slide projector and fill the slide with random stuff, ie, ink, shampoo, clingfilm, coffee. What happens is the light heats it up and the images bubble and change, its all good fun and looks fantastic. Problem is, i cant dance around like a chicken, so i might leave it. thats it love hannah +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: I think my brain has switched off itself
by Histrianic＠aol.com 22 Mar '01

22 Mar '01

I have just spent 15 hours in a plane. And I fly economy. I feel like I should be back at my beloved dorm up where things aren't exactly luxurious, but comfortable. I hate travelling. They should ban airplanes and come up with one of those things where you step into a little cylinderical tube and you're magically transported to your destination. Now that I have all my ranting and rambling off, I shall proceed with the rest of my post. March 26th is make your own holiday day. This year, my friend and I have engaged in plans to make it 'celebrate your gods day'. This allows us to keep our options open if we're not feeling up to par for the prank we're planning on pulling off. We thought a great way to celebrate this day would be to pass out little neon pink flyers with pictures of people on them saying 'celebrate your gods!!!'. these people, of course, would be selected through our complicated system of looking at these people and deciding whether they look like people who would be of interesting value. people to pass this list would be: -a guy who bleached his hair, dyed it red, bleached it again, and then attempted to dye it black, but failed to do so at a shortage of black hair dye. he compensated with blue hair. -a guy who walks around with a yellow suit. i saw one in the airport. -a guy with red athletic clogs. now that's sexy. i also watched three movies in the past 24 hours. charlie's angels, the watcher, and nurse betty. i'd have to give nurse betty the highest ranking, just because greg kinnear was in it. although i was highly disappointed that he had to play a jerk who lived off of soap operas. i am practically falling asleep in front of the computer screen, due to jet lag. jet lag sucks. jet lag reminds me of high fidelity. john cusack reminds me of my old drama teacher. who is now married, and probably changed her last named to something else. oh well. i think i'm rambling. but before i exit, i have to include some b&s content, because i don't think i mentioned anything about belle and sebastian in my last email either. i forced my parents to listen to some of my music over spring break. the only cds found favorable with them was my beatles 1 cd and fold your hands child you walk like a peasant. it was sort of discouraging to have my parents completely disapprove of my taste in music, but nice to know that belle and sebastian reached out to these people who only listen to mozart and hayden and some other dead people. down with the wall!!! -hye min +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: B&S Soundtrack
by Neil Robertson 22 Mar '01

22 Mar '01

Hi, Just to keep yous updated on the band's activities. Obviously the band have recently returned from America, where they were recording the music for a film called "Storytelling", which is directed by Todd Solondz. A lot of you will be familiar with Todd's last two films: "Happiness" and "Welcome to the Dollhouse". Anyway, the film is split into two parts. The music for the first part of the film was done by Nathan Larsson, who was in the band Shudder To Think, and has recently scored such films as "Boy's Don't Cry". B&S have done the music for the second part. The film will be released in the USA in October, and the soundtrack album will be released by Jeepster and Matador at around the same time. More details as and when we have them.... Back in Glasgow the band have been in CaVa finishing two singles for a summer release. We're almost there, and hopefully I'll have something more concrete to say in the next couple of weeks. And that's about it really.

Sinister: a mile and a half with the post takes a long time
by stuart hallifax 22 Mar '01

22 Mar '01

hello sinister. Will Porter said: "I keep almost posting. That is, I keep thinking of oh!-so-clever things to say, and then I start to type it and it goes away or reveals itself to not be clever at all." and i couldn't agree more. i spend all day thinking of things and then think 'nah, thats crap!'. anyway, this week i've been freezing cold every morning being a postman in a vain attempt to get out of debt prior to going back to uni. found out there's a road in colchester called stalin road (perhaps we should name more roads after nasty genocidal dictators), and theres a house called 'the squirrels', which i thought was just cool. i heard the original (1965) version of poupee de circe... by france gall, and i must say i prefer the B&S cover. as chris pointed out 5th may is term time, and his birthday. which means i must also remain hundreds of miles away. but 1st of june is sheffield offbeat's b&S night, which is nice. i know lots of you are going to atp. anyone want to meet up, e-mail off the list please. i'm going with another B&S devotee who'd probably like to meet list people too. hmm. so 'teachers' only used TWATTYBUS over the ending credits, nevermind. oh well. bye bye stuart H ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Owwww ow ow ow
by Mark J Ollerenshaw 22 Mar '01

22 Mar '01

I've just spent last night bleaching my hair. My scalp now feels like it has melted, and to compound the problem it looked awful so I had to run to Superdrug and buy some crazy coloured hair dye (I wasn't going brownish black again after all that trouble). I now have a purple head, which should please Jenowl I suppose. It worked fine last time though, so I suppose something odd has happened to my follicles betweenwhiles. Ho hum. Follicles, now there's a great word that is very much underused. Haphazard is another. Am I rambling? I am currently in a good mood however, as not only do I have tickets for Radiohead in Oxford, but one of my housemates for next year (who I have only just met) commented on my bus T shirt/flares combo. (That's as far as I can see the content going this time). This is a Good Thing. I've been told I have a road test in a few weeks to see whether I'm competent enough to run the projector in the Union Cinema. This is not as simple as it may sound - I've been training for 6 months now and am only just beginning to get the hang of it. There are too many scary nobbly bits and buttons... Anyone who has access to it (it's on the web I think, at www.soton.ac.uk/~susu -> Wessex Scene link) might be interested in a superb article in the latest edition of our Student Union paper describing in detail how to destroy that Toploader album that you don't want to admit to owning. Unusually I think our paper is run by people with a modicum of taste and indie snobbery (reviewing things like GYBE and A Silver Mount Zion) which can't be an entirely bad thing. I also enjoyed listening to Mark and Lard's snide comments about pretty much every nasty nasty pop record they played whilst waiting in the barber shop. Did they always do that, or have I only just noticed? Things have never been the same since the graveyard shift... Hmmm. I might run off and hide now as I am definitely rambling. Thanks to everyone who mentioned Felt, by the way - I am suitably impressed.

Sinister: Tony Blair Just Called Me Brian*
by Clarke, Sarah J (EU) 22 Mar '01

22 Mar '01

Dear Sinister. Wow look, Tim found the most amazing things ever! Do none of you care? WHERE!!!!!!!! Tim said: *********************** The other day I went shopping and found some great stuff. At one store they had this almost life-size Crucifix (well, Christ was almost life-size at least) that lit up, it was $300 so I of course didn't buy it. I also found a 'commie-kit' that had a record of the 'ode to chairman mao' and a uniform from the days of mao. It was a bit too expensive too, but I thought it would be a great gift for my far too patriotic friend. Almost as great as the lighter that played the communist anthem when you opened it. *********************** What's the Communist anthem? Will you sing it for me/let the lighter recite it into a dictaphone and make an mp3 please? Anyone? I heard some 70's WHO in the PUB last night. It made me think of Keith (TM). Also, I don't recommend anyone goes to see a band called The Bush, The Tree & Me unless they have drunk five whiskies and one midori or whatever drinks combination big up's your massif. If you see them whilst less merry you would be upset. If you see them after drinks, you start to cry with laughter. Bands that have names that appeal to my sense of the ridiculous keep forming. I still prefer....... AND YOU WILL KNOW (you know whats coming kids!!!) US! BY! THE!!! TRAIL!!!! OF!!! THE DEEEAAAAAAAAAADDDD!!!! Ahahahahahahahahahaahhahahahahhahaaha! Anyone in that London going to see Low tonight? More importantly, will anyone be wearing Trail of the Dead tshirts? EVER? I'd best go. The crack seems to be wearing off. CarsmileSteve, you're not too old to take lots of drugs! Your drug adventure can start at any time! I think it would be kind of ace for an 80 year old to suddenly start taking loads of crack in their nice little house in Walmington-On-Sea. Except do you think they might just die? I'm sure they'd find something interesting to do with their colostomy bags though.
