...just throw a long, tall and rather attractive b&s fan her way and she disappears of the face of the earth, now dwelling in the unused back seats of locked and parked minivans...so now she doesn't keep up with posts or post herself (!) for that matter...so apologies to all 2 or 3 of you that find my sex rantings amusing...i've been a naughty little entertainer, hiding behind the backstage curtain for a short while as the handful down front hoots and hollars... the eye doctor has seen fit to prescribe me glasses when he should be prescribing me pretty colored sleeping pills and then speed to get me off the sleeping pills...so now i fall head over scratch resistant lenses into that category of "sexy glasses girls"...wasn't there once a buzz about lensed chicks sleeping with not so beautiful boys for one nearsighted reason or another...? amusing tid-bit of the month was when random blond beth from one dorm floor caught me doing naughty things when she burst into my room and demanded to borrow one of my b&s cd's...had it not been for a good cause the interruption would have been unforgivable...but i took mercy on the child... this is getting worse as it goes on... -lisa who doesn't know when to stop, so don't get me started... _________________________________________________________________ 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: Oisl Of Aislay Slows The Effects Of Ageing
by David Moore 17 Apr '01

17 Apr '01

Hi All, If none of this appears relevant its because I've only just had time to read the last 8 digests properly. That's right, Mummy, every post. Many nights ago Lucy dreamed: "Miss Honey was taking assembly in my old school hall, wearing a well-cut tweed skirt (with a split right up the back showing her fishnet stockings) and a cream, slightly see-through blouse, a long string of pearls swinging from her neck" & Geneviève didn't comment :( I too look forward to the STuD/Peacock panto/fiasco on Thursday evening, but fear I may have to rush off early before the real fun starts to see a bunch of phoney Glaswegian gang members who really went to public school. Did I get that last bit right, Edna? Also, who's going to spill the beans on the real Peacock Johnson in chat dissing Stuart David story? The Shooting Stars In Bright Formation have all disappeared from view. Were they cut off, or driven away by the rejuvenating experience of seeing The Aislers Set? I've been lucky enough to see them 3 times recently & they really are a Top Pop Group, well up there with Destiny's Child & The Sugababes. But with nicer smiles. Apparently there was a Belle And Sebastian gig recently, but no reports from listees. Were Sinisterines banned from entering? INTERNATIONAL COLLARING CONTEST I have a great collection of coins from countries all over the world. However I don't have many banknotes. So I have thought of a fantastic way of adding to my collection. To make it more fun I have initiated a contest, the winner of which will be the person who sends me the highest value note. Ask me for my address when you've saved up for the biggest one you can get. When I've got enough cash I'll post the winner's name & a .jpg of the note on Sinister. Oh, and to encourage you I'd like to point out that my car drinks a fantastic amount of petrol (gas), I drive about 25,000 miles a year & petrol is very expensive. APPOINTMENTS I'd like to wish good luck & success to acting ListMummy Lulou in her new position - I know she'll do a grate job. There's someone else I'd like to wish good luck to (and morever good health). The last two weeks especially have been packed with fantastic events, made all the more so by the company I enjoyed them in. It strikes me that I wouldn't have met any of those people (well, except for The Pinefox's perfect party hostess Sally, but then I've known her since before she was born) if I hadn't plucked up the courage to attend a Sinister event one day a couple of years ago. So its all down to Honey/Paul. Thanks a lot, mate. Have a good rest & we'll see you back at the helm when you're feeling a bit better. ON THE SCROUNGE A bit of list abuse, sorry. Apparently The Aislers Set played a Peel session which was broadcast last Tuesday - did anyone tape it? It included a Joy Division cover. I have some stuff to swap for it. And did anyone record the repeated Hefner session which went out last Thursday night? I have been a bit vague this week & have been missing APHRODITE IN FURS Thanks to Pauline for the latest, S&M flavoured episode of her aristocratic memoirs. I had to reach for the dictionary three times, always a pleasure to have ones vocabulary stimulated! And what a hectic life you lead! So jealous! TODAY YOUR LOVE, TOMORROW THE WORLD Bye bye & God Bless, Joey.

Sinister: It's good to be home...
by Sam Walton 16 Apr '01

16 Apr '01

Hello all again. Well, for those who remember me, TAA-DAAAAH!!! I'm back, and for those who don't, hello, my name's Sam and I like B&S, among other bands. As some of you may remember, I left the list in mid November amid a farewell post parodying Mark and Lard, because I got a job for the winter in a ski resort, and so for the last five months I've been in Tignes, France, generally having fun and meeting fellow B&S loversand music fans. However, as is normally the pattern for me, it all ended slightly too early, as last week I tore my cruciate and medial ligaments in my left knee, and had to go home, which wasn't good news. I had one week left on my contract though, so I got almost as much time in the mountains in as the other workers out there. I was still sad to go. All in all, the 'season experience' was fun, although for the first two months I hated it quite a lot - people were really shallow and boring and macho and said stupid things, but then I realised that life is about what you make of it and the about the people you meet, not the people you are thrust upon, and after that I met some really nice people, and started to have a lot of fun. Anyway, you don't want to hear about all that, so I won't tell you. This is just a post basically to say that I'm on again, and that if any veteran Sinis want to send me sympathy about the impending surgery which is required on my knee then that would be nice. Oh yeah, and if Carsmile would like to send me details of the London picnic that would be fab. Right then, it's truly great to be back... love Sam.x P.S. What's all this about TLOAMDR being released and a tour? What've I missed? Ho-hum, I'll scour the archives... _________________________________________________________________________ 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: York picnic
by mummy i've grazed my knee 16 Apr '01

16 Apr '01

Just a quick note for anyone who's interested. There will be a York picnic on May 5th to coincide with the London one and, as a complete coincidence of course, my birthday (I think I've plugged my birthday enough on sinister now). I'm not entirely sure of the exact location yet, although it will be around the university somewhere, preferably near swings and away from 14 year old kids with skateboards (where have they all come from?) I will post more details later when I have worked them out. Please come people, send me an e-mail if you are. It would be nice to see some people other than the ones I know will already be coming. It's only a short trip from Sheffield or Leeds, I'm sure you can manage it...please. P.S. Is anyone else meeting up for the Stu D reading/signing in Oxford St on Thursday? What's happening? Chris Jones. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Seven Weeks of Staying Up All Night
by Brian Pennington 16 Apr '01

16 Apr '01

Slip open the windows and let the breeze slide in. Smell the sweet Spring air. Something about this day must be factored into all equations. It is as pristine and serendipitous a day as I can remember. Whisk that feeling of malaise under the rug and pour yourself a cold beverage of your choice. So, Belle & Sebastian in the news again. And is the timing a coincidence? I think not! Struan and company must have been lying low, forefingers held up to gauge for the perfect breeze. Song titles and release dates, these are the tools of the dreamer. And I would be lying if I said I cast a blind eye upon such news. Nothing gets me more excited in fact. So, from a variety of sources we can determine we shall be listening to a new EP not long after the passing of this season, and a second at the end of the next. Belle & Sebastian have a thing for summer EPs, do they not? Can we expect such "hidden" gems as "Songs for Children," and that gorgeous Martin Duffy-inspired piano / organ instrumental on Legal Man? Such tiny prizes make these EPs works of Belle & Sebastian and not some other oft-admired band. And a tour! It is wishful thinking to imagine New York will be a destination anytime soon, but hopefully it would not be so far behind. It occurred to me today that Loneliness is finally getting released, when they played it on their last U.S. tour. Ten thousand playings of MP3s and hissy tapes has dulled its insistency for me somewhat, but I am excited that it will finally see the light of day. It seems it has found its outing sooner than lonelier still Lord Anthony. My life has not been without Belle & Sebastian moments lately. I find myself these days a bit detached from Sinister. I can't connect with the lives of people I will never meet in the way I used to I guess. Or at least by this template. But don't take that as a dig, I'm not bitter. And to be honest I do skim most of the posts and read some. I just feel a bit guilty sometimes, not being a lurker when really I don't read enough posts myself. But the best Belle & Sebastian moment of note lately was last Saturday. I went, with no small degree of trepidation, to Tiswas here in New York. It has been described in various shades of black and white to me, so I was expecting a dull grey, but really the naysayers seem to have been wrong, at least on this Saturday. Again, perhaps that Spring Breeze is to blame. Not without its faults surely but I had a lovely time dancing to Legal Man and other songs too numerous to note. In a perfect world it would have been The Boy with the Arab Strap, but perfection is boring. That was my first ever experience dancing to Belle & Sebastian. Here's to hoping it's not the last. That is the extent of what I wished to impart. My comings and goings of late seem to be tied closely with the occurrance of content. News of Belle & Sebastian always makes me listen to Belle & Sebastian, I don't know quite why. But as the distinct possibility of more news and content looms on the horizon I will surely be around. I am always here, of course. Resting on couches and desk chairs, making tapes, watching my desk slowly become messier and messier, meeting friends on shaded patios and in smoky bars, writing stories with no characters or settings. Until then I will put The Boy with the Arab Strap on and sip my cherry Kool-Aid. Maybe go for a walk...

Sinister: Sitting on the Midland Mainline
by Robin Stout 16 Apr '01

16 Apr '01

Hola amigos So it's a bit late to be talking about ATP, but hello to all the Sinisterites I met there, whoever you were (half of you didn't seem to know). You were all bonza with a capital B. I think everything has been said about the music really. Did anyone else read Fat Stewart Lee's review in the Times yesterday? I read it and realised that I hadn't seen most of the bands he mentioned and he might as well have been to a different festival to me. The Queen Vic wasn't mentioned once. The Camber Cafe should have a Belle and Sebastian record in their jukebox next year, courtesy of me, so if the post post rock's making your knees and your brain ache you could always go there and dance under the flashing lights and sounds. It's a good job I like trains because I've been on plenty last week. In Nottingham on Friday Arantxa, Sarah, Big Stu and I went to see the Aislers Set. They were pretty good. Maybe these guitar bands will catch on after all. I asked one of them why they were called the Aislers Set and she didn't know, but said it might have something to do with supermarket aisles. I found it very strange that she didn't know. On the train back home I sat in front of a little boy and his granddad. The little boy was very talkative and kept asking granddad about Iceland. "Granddad, are there volcanoes in Iceland?" "Yes, that's right." "Is there ice in Iceland?" "Well sometimes, in the winter. Not all the time" "Why is it called Iceland then?" "Well sometimes there is ice there." "How many people live in Iceland?" "Oh, not many." "How many's not many?" The little boy started kicking the back of my seat. "About a million I should say" "A million? That's loads!. Do people live on Jupiter?" Granddad sighed. "No they don't. It's made out of gas, you see." "Where do aliens live then?" "Aliens only live in films. They're not real. Stop kicking the back of that seat." "How many countries beginning with "m" are there?" "Oh, not very many" "How many?" Granddad sighed again. "Well, Malta. That's one" "Is there just one?" "Morocco, that's two." "How many people live in Morocco?" "I don't know." "How many people live in South America?" Poor granddad. He was really being too factual for his own good. Standing by the door listening to his walkman through ear sized headphones was a man who looked like an albino. I tried to get a look at his eyes without him noticing me, but it was impossible. I think Struan should write a song about an albino boy. It must be a pretty strange life to have, with people staring at you sideways the whole time. When I was younger, immersion heaters were much more important, and hot water was always running out. Pigeons kept falling down the chimney and getting stuck behind the mock fire effect fireplace. These things don't happen any more and I don't know why. Less baths and less pigeons I suppose. Jonathan and David? Middle Distance Runner as a B-side? I'm very excited.

Sinister: Yesterday I listened to Hole and I felt like I was 15 again
by elenita99 16 Apr '01

Hello Siniland, Working on Easter Friday and Saturday and Monday is no fun, I can tell. For the first time ever ever I was the only person on the bus on Easter Friday morning (apart from the driver of course). I thought of what would happen if we had an accident and I was the only one trapped in the bus and no one could see me. As you can see I am here to tell so it didn't really happen. Pinefox wrote: >Maria S also said that elenita99 was a good cooker. I >disagree. I think she's more of an old boiler. I am not sure this makes sense to me and I am even less sure about my reaction to this: should I laugh or cry? I am also not sure about being a boiler, I feel more like a saucepan today. Ken wrote: >P.S.: Larry the frog rules and he is not a dinosaur. Indeed he is not. And after rocking ATP he is now ruling the living room in Calvert Road and taking an active part in the house life. He lives on chips and Guinness and seems as healthy as a frog can be. I had a crush vote this week. I don't sound like I am thrilled but I am, really. But then I realised maybe someone was trying to crush-vote Larry and couldn't do it because Larry has no email addy. But I receive emails for him as he is such a star. So well, I am not sure about all this vote business now, but well Larry and I feel very honoured. I went to see my parents yesterday and we talked about funny things like my future in-two-months-when-i-will-be-a-graduate. I wonder if it would have been a better day if I was working instead of talking about my future. But then I can't really say to my parents I want to be a bus driver. I am not even sure about being a bus driver or being anything at all. Oh well, time will tell...

Sinister: a really good orgasm is like chicken, only gamier
by GardeningAtNight＠aol.com 16 Apr '01

16 Apr '01

hi sinister people. so, it's easter, and my family didn't do anything special because my cousins had to work for some reason. my mom and i tried to dye eggs with this neat marbled egg kit but the marbled stuff didn't work. and we watched reruns of mama's family (anyone else love that show? i grew up with it, or at least with reruns of it.. i think i've seen them all). i'm a little stressed though because i have two five-page papers due soon. one on philip glass due this wednesday, and half of one on "fahrenheit 451" by ray bradbury due tuesday. my friend dia says that he's bs-ed* his way through most things in life rather easily but i really don't know how in the world anyone can talk about something for five pages, even him. so i'm just sitting here underlining photocopies pretending to be productive. last night i went to webster university to see a screening of a documentary called "benjamin smoke" by jem cohen. i really enjoyed it, see it if you ever have the chance. there's a website about it, benjaminremembered.com. i ordered the smoke cd today; usually i don't really enjoy gravelly voices and southern accents but this is somehow different. the subject line of this e-mail is something he said, and is something i'll probably never understand. but i don't know how anyone can resist a film about someone who looks wonderful just lounging around in a sapphire blue gown. i just saw a commercial about not doing drugs (i think), and it had a looper song on it. mondo 77 i think. that's my favorite looper song - who's the guy talking on it? well not talking really, but saying "c'mon" and whatever else he says. for the past month i've been tutoring an 11-year-old boy in violin every monday and i always kind of dreaded it because i guess i have an inferiority complex or i don't really think i know what i'm doing. but anyway, i had a mix tape in the car that had that song on it and inexplicably, every time i'd be driving the 10 miles to his house the song would come on and make me feel a lot better. it's just so groovy. the kid's mom recently told me that my services were no longer required, though, which is a relief but at the same time it was an easy way to make 15 bucks. what's new with looper, anyway? i've been reading the stories of people who have met the pop stars they love (like jen meeting struan - i'm very jealous, and timothy meeting some dude from noise conspiracy). i guess i've had the chance to go talk to people, but i always feel like it's pointless. what do i say? i guess i have this terrible fear of being a pest. i still remember every time i've tried to do so and i still feel silly about it. oh well. the question's open to anyone, though: what in the world do you say? blue-shoe lauren, are you still on this list? what's new? we should have a st. louis sinister picnic at forest park. any takers? is there anyone who actually lives here besides us? don't be shy, we're embarassed about it too. anyway. i'm going to watch queer as folk now. it is a weekly ritual that my mom won't let me miss. i have a wonderful mom. love, samantha *not b&s-ed unfortunately.. though that would be cool. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Observations.12/Live without deadtime
by M. Timothy Meskers 15 Apr '01

15 Apr '01

Hello friends, It's been quiet lately; too quiet. I hope that everyone is doing okay. I just wanted to tell you all about the best show in the world- the show I went to on Thursday night. And that show was an (International) Noise Conspiracy show. It all started when we hit the road for Philadelphia but got lost and ended up near Trenton. We thought for sure we'd be late. But we weren't. I had carefully typed a letter the previous night to Dennis Lyxzen, their singer which thanked him for being such an interesting guy and for making such great music. During the cartrip I wrote a list of interview questions for the website but I doubted I would even get the chance to talk to him. The Explosion was the opening band. I was knocked off my feet by a big hardkid and he didn't say sorry. I was a little angry but I didn't want to push him back because he was hard and he was swinging his arms around. I was standing up and straightening my wee backpack when much to my surprise I saw Dennis himself at the back of the crowd, reading a book. I felt a bit like a twelveyear old girl as I was walking over to him to hand him my clumsily typed letter. The thing was I felt an odd sort of drive. This man and his group had created some of the most thought provoking music I'd ever heard, and I'd spent hours looking up every little obscure political reference from Guy DeBord to Durruti in an attempt to understand what these guys were about. And I liked what they were about, it was serious stuff. And I'm a serious guy. So I gave him the letter, thinking he'd say "Oh, thanks" and toss it into the rubbish bin but he said to meet him back there after the show. In a cute Swedish accent, no less. I couldn't believe it. I wormed my way back to the front of the crowd for the T(I)NC set and prepared my disposable camera. I took a picture, and the most intrusive flash came out. I was very angry at myself and hoped that the band wasn't too distracted. I waited for the flash light to go off and when it finally did I figured I was in the clear. Wrong! What a nuisance I was! They put on the most passionate show I had ever seen in my life and I was right up against the stage screaming along with the lyrics. After their set I went back into twelveyearold girl mode to talk to Dennis. I got a picture with Sara and Ludwig (yay) and had Dennis autograph my LP. They were all so political and cute. Although since I'm sure that they would not like to be referred as cute please don't tell anyone I said that. Also I don't want you to think that I am just a fan of some "cute little band." I am into them because of their politics. So anyways we talked for a bit and he said sorry he didn't have time for an interview but he gave me his e-mail address. I had a bit of film to go so on my way out I took lots of pictures of the street and accidentally some hardkids. I think they thought I was taking pictures of their girlfriends and gave me very hard looks. Also I think that Dennis thought I was taking his picture from a distance because I could feel a hard look coming from his general direction, whereupon I hastened my pace and started to feel like an arsebandit (whoever used that word in one of their posts, here is a cyber high-5!). I'd made a nuisance of myself but never before had I felt so alive. What a swell night. If any of you get the chance to check out Noise Conspiracy by all means do and if anyone is curious what they are all about please e-mail and I will tell you what I understand about their politics. Lots of love, Timothy. (xTimothyx for you lads and lasses in #sinister) p.s. Does anyone go to Kutztown? p.p.s. Sorry to L.L. I will e-mail you soon! I'm waiting for something profound to say. _________________________________________________________________ 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.
