Sinister: Who is Dunoon?
by Peter Miller 25 Apr '01

25 Apr '01

There are some concerts coming up, and typically the list has gone into a frenzy. Everyone is tearing their hair out trying to find out whether Dunoon is a real place or just a joke, and if it is real, where is it? Who lives there? Is there a crazy golf course? Let's check it out: Dunoon, burgh, Argyll and Bute, Scot.; on N.- side of F. of Clyde, anc. cas.; holiday resort; p. (1991) 9,038 It looks like this is the one to go to, kids. Closely followed by Dunfermline, birthplace of Charles I, Robert Carnegie, Big Country and Nazareth. Scotland is so historical! This morning I had the opportunity to embrace and filter a Destiny's Child video. There was a helicopter at the end.

Sinister: Bleed, lesbian satan!
by Lucy Alder 25 Apr '01

25 Apr '01

***First, a minute's silence, for the vast numbers of Sinisterines who, due to geographical location and/or financial difficulty, won't be able to go.*** OK, now I've got that out of the way, NER NER NER NER NER! I'm going to see Belle & Sebastian! I've got tickets for the 16th and the London types I know are also going are Mark, Vicky, Sally, David, Chris, Martin and Craig (?) Who else? I bet there'll be more. Oooooooh, what songs d'you think they'll play? Do you think they're practising their inter-song banter just now? Will we get to see the silver trousers? And what covers do you reckon they'll do? And what shoes will Isobel be wearing, and will we get close enough to see them? Of course we will, we'll be in the front row, won't we? /me sharpens her elbows and practises her jabbing technique Shall we all wear matching T-shirts and make ourselves look like sad fans or should we keep our cool and wear shades and pretend we don't care and look bored? I don't think I could look bored, I've never seen Belle & Sebastian play live before. How on earth I'm supposed to concentrate on work today I don't know. The corners of my mouth keep twitching and I keep making typing errors and shouting at my computer and the people I work near will be starting to think I'm really weird, if they don't think that already. And should I wear my killer heels to make sure I get a good view and piss off the person behind me or should I wear trainers for comfort whilst dancing? Maybe I could wear trainers but with fishnet tights - glamour without pain. There's a thing about the gigs on the NME website at http://www.nme.com/NME/External/News/News_Story/0,1004,26303,00.html It's nothing Mick/Neil haven't already told us, but it does say there is an exclusive B&S feature coming soon. Not sure what they mean by that, but time will tell. I'm off to get my photies from ATP now. I think I'll have to run to Boots just to get rid of some of this energy. I wish I had a trampoline.

Sinister: Miss Smila's Feeling For Ribena
by Peter Miller 25 Apr '01

25 Apr '01

I'm on Ribena strike until The Pinefox agrees to write some more songs. Not one drop of Ribena will pass my lips until then. Although I might dribble some down between my bumcheeks if I get really desperate. It depends how long he holds out really. When AIDS first started to become popular, people were advised to dribble cognac down their partner's back as a substitute for "penetration". I wonder if it ever caught on? I suppose the authorities were in a bit of a tight corner. The Pinefox has to write more songs, otherwise it places too much pressure on the other Foxglove. He might crack. Looking at the big picture, pop's effect on global culture has been virtually nil. The Khmer Rouge didn't come to power because of Purple Haze, Nelson Mandela wasn't freed because of Free Nelson Mandela, asians weren't dubbed because of Asian Dub Foundation. Pop played no real part in these events. In political terms, all pop has given us is a bunch of neatly packaged platitudes. That's entertainment. We had a nice time listening to it, that's all. Salman Rushdie's appearance on stage with U2 had nothing to do with selling more books or more records. It was something to do with freedom of expression. Rock on. I'm going to read that Ground Beneath Her Feet book and report back. I like Rushdie's pop journalism. He introduced me to the expression "fuck me high heels", in an article about the Rolling Stones. This has made shopping for footwear so much easier. In a recent piece about Shaggy I think I spotted a mistake. Not a pop mistake, a grammar mistake. But I wouldn't stake my life on it. I wouldn't stick my neck out. I think Magnetic Fields sound a lot like Velvet Underground. The Age of Consent was so-called because the members of Bronski Beat were all gay, and they wanted the age of consent lowered so that they could take better advantage of their new-found popularity. Shall I delete this bit, Linda? A book I'm reading now is The Legendary Joe Meek. Chas out of Chas 'n' Dave is in it. He has a surprisingly liberal attitude to homosexuality. Which begs the question, are all comedy cockneys gay? It gives a new meaning to Up the Elephant and Round the Castle, doesn't it? Or was that the original meaning? Thanks for all the Peacock Johnson reports. Sounds GRATE.

Sinister: Sinister: Sinister: ... ... Sinister:
by j r kananen 25 Apr '01

Hi (sinister:) Haven't posted in a while. Well the truth of the matter is that I lost my job, and, since Internet service is not free, I lost my connection. Now I have a new job (English tutor at a local JC) and my Internet is back (yay!) Couple things: 1 - DDR is so last week. I have a Japanese arcade near my house that has all the Bemani games (DDR, Beat Mania, Drum Mania, etc...), and the one to look out for is ParaPara Paradise! It's this hexagon that has sensors that detect movement, so you use your arms or whatever to engage the sensors to the music. So instead of just moving your feet as fast as you can while attempting Paranoia on maniac mode, you actually DANCE!!! 2 - dubuya sucks.(period) 3 - The new manics album is grate...ms europa disco dancer has gotta be the funniest track in recent memory (not as funny as dirty dream #2, but pretty darn close) 4 - Iron Chef is gotta be the best television program ever. But on to more important things ... how's the LA picnic planing going? Is there anything I can do to help? When / where will it be around? let me know so I. ..... know. bye bye J Kananen - we got heads on sticks - Radiohead Kid A +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: A nice, quiet, predictable B+S fan post. All dainty like. With little daisies and pictures of fluffy bunny wabbits.
by idleberry 25 Apr '01

25 Apr '01

hello all. Hope you are all well. If so, then I am too. Cos I won't be well unless you all are, and enjoying whatever life brings to you. Its a shame its a rainy day, here in Berryland, but you know, if you like rain, so do I. Heck. Maybe we should be friends. I have decided, that for the safety of my inbox, I ought not to talk about such nasty vile matters like the env<<censored>> and certainly not about Ge<<also censored>>. And then I shan't be offending any <<extremely censored>>. And then they won't be saying that I'm a <<very censored>> or implying that I am <<incredibly censored>> cos thats just rude. And you know what those <<censored>> are like. T'huh! And I'm not in the mood for it right now cos I got my <<censored>> and thats <<censored>> nor <<censored>> nor good for the <<censored>> nor healthy. As that intelligent man, Mr <<censored>> once said, although, I have to say I don't like <<censored>> as I said in an earlier post.... <<censored..cos its not about Belle And sebastian and especially not about their genitals.>> etc etc. So no <<censored>>, or <<censored>> or <<censored>> and no hell below us either apparently. But heck, we could all be cheeky little <<censored>> and have lots of wild <<censored>>! I bagsy the first <<censored>>!! I like this game. First one who can fill in all the blanks correctly wins a prize. I was talking to my pal earlier, and we were discussing <<censored>> and he said that I was right of course. But then he likes Monty Python too. We had a giggle about Belle And Sebastian fans as well. He thought they were very odd people indeed. I agreed. No offence. Then I had a muffin. It was chocolate. It was very nice. It tasted yummy. And I had a cigarette too. That was yummy and also tasted nice. Plus, it put me in a good calm mood. Then I came into the library and spent the past five hours, over the books, reading away. I was reading up about <<censored. You might not like what the topic was... it tends to get certain people upset with me when I say it and then they might send me e mails. And then I have to read them. Sort of like the effect of feeding a mogwai after midnight.>> and I have to write an essay about it... 2500 words long, and due in tomorrow. my pal is struggling with hers, but she got an extention. I think my teacher is on the mailing list, cos she gave me a dirty look. *yawns* Anyone want a game of "guess the title of the next belle and sebastian release?" I'm guessing its going to be called... <<censored.>> cheers ducks. Idles. (who is, by the way, doing her bit for the <<censored>> so don't you dare say I'm not, if even at this late stage you want to e mail me and abuse me further about <<censored>> cos you know, you wouldn't be alone.) ===== http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/corduroysmoke we're all smoking our corduroys in our secret little b+s club- what are you doing?? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Rebel Man
by Kenneth P Y Chu 24 Apr '01

24 Apr '01

Hello, The thing I hate the most about this list is the amount of stupid tweeness that it contains. It's like, I joined the list because I wanted to read about the things that B&S stand for, like sex*, drugs** and rock and roll***, but instead I keep reading things about fucking twee things like how some student type boys who never pull any girls and whinge about it, or something. We ALL hate reading twee posts like that, I wanna read about things that MATTER, stuff that COUNTS, like the welfare of snails who died because of inconsiderate people (esp Americans) throwing their half eaten Doner kebabs into bushes and the snails get melted by the chilli sauce. Enough is enough, we have to stop these tweeness and on for the hard stuff. We all know that the best country in the world is Iraq cos it's enemies with America and we hate America, anthrax is pretty cool and helps plants grow funny colours. Ever thought about freedom of speech? No talk of <censor>, <censor> or <censor> allowed?? What else can we talk about? We'd have to start talking about B&S and music and lives of B&S fans.. yeeeeeerk! ! Frankly Linda, you bore me, you have had it in for me since the beginning. You have had nothing but a hard-on for me since the get-go. Take me off this hypocritical...only the twee people can speak freely.. when one does it, it's ok, when he does it, it's not. Mailing list. I'm over it. Heh. With the double standards already. Hehe. Light hearted e-mails and Red Bulls :) Ken * Doing it with businessmen on the piano belle ** Drop a pill and then say hello *** Er.. Stevie's into rock and roll :) P.S.: Linda doesn't actually bore me :) ====================================================================== Withstanding the provisions of clauses 1,2,3 and 4 Extend contractual period me and you forever more - Belle & Sebastian +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: aloofness/frankness- the key to any woman's heart?
by kmhyde＠wm.edu 24 Apr '01

24 Apr '01

I have to agree with Brier wholeheartedly on this, as i too know the excruciating awkwardness of being thought not- straight. the reasons the girls give to me usually run the gamut from "but you always listen to me when I talk" to "you dress waaaay too nicely". huh. My friend and I, who has been in a similar situation before, decide that we have to take steps to rid ourselves of our 'nice guy' personalitites. However, it has proven muh harder than we thought- I cannot, for the life of me, wear anything with a huge logo on it without feeling rather silly- and saying things like 'sup' and 'whatever baby' is just stomach-warpingly bad. we came up with a protocol though- one must attempt to be entirely aloof at all times- never expressing emotion, and complimenting only those who might do something for you.... couple this with an overabundant sense of frankess, and success might be yours. it is SO hard to be an asshole though. I don't think I'll ever get it down... empathy is just impossible to negate when you're sitting next to a striking blond. so yes girls, why do we nice guys always get the shaft, so to speak?

Sinister: wispa gold
by Amy Jackson 24 Apr '01

24 Apr '01

mmmmmmm, yummmmmm etc. wispa golds are the best. so, i am now firmly ensconsed in edinburgh. it is grand. The Boyfriend is being far too great for his own good and someday he's gonna crack and start burbling incoherently whenever i talk to him, but that'll be a wee while off yet. he has fantastic taste in music too. i am a very happy girl :) i've become hooked on ebay. so far i've bought polly pocket hair clips, a rainbow video and a woody woodpecker badge. there is a rainbow brite bag but it's too expensive, and as i am still unemployed to buy it would be a silly thing. i went home to the highlands for a week so i missed the Aislers set. poo. i think summer is just around the corner, it is really nice and warm today. and later on i'm going to give blood. just because i can. i love lemon jelly. both the foodstuff and the band/dj/whatever. flip in edinburgh is much better than flip in glasgow. subway in edinburgh is also better than subway in glasgow. but glasgow has the 13th note, and edinburgh has.... well i'm not sure yet. i will find out though. going to see the shirehorses in may. yes! i think stuart david is having a mid life crisis. but he still write good books. ta ta, amy xxxxx _________________________________________________________________________ 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: middle kid
by Hannah Brown 24 Apr '01

24 Apr '01

(i cant get it on the library) I kicked a stone and had a thought. Scuffed another stone and thought again. Throwing one into the road i noticed the familiar cracks and shapes that you see ever morning and every evening, they're recognisable but you never mention them, they are just always there. Some of them look like islands or animals, if you moved away you wouldn't recall them you would just notice new ones. i'd walked this stretch too many times and knew far too much about what went on here. I could calculate that if i left my house at 6:55 in the morning i would cross and old man walking his dog by the post box. I would reach the bus stop at 7:00 hours to be greeted with the company of a rather over affectionate business couple and a ginger accountant who was on the verge of some kind of upset. i also knew that if the man with the dog past me at the corner, i was highly likely to miss my bus. It had been a good 5 months since i had been here but everything was horribly similar. The houses and the colour of their bricks,the shitty bus service and me; i hadnt really changed and that pisses me off. There was one difference though, the absence of some local folk around my age, who seemed to be on my wavelength ( a rare occurance around these parts). You see, they had talent and were in a band, and now they're supporting the likes of Ocean colour Scene. It looks like they're gonna be massive, so i pretty much know that i wont see them staggering around these street again, because if they've got any sense they would have hired a van and be livin it "large" somewhere else, anywhere else but this place. I saw them afew times at a college band night where i sneeked in some alcohol, which is perhaps why they cancelled it the following year and at the charlotte. They always had the energy of a brass band on speed and seemed to know where they were going, i wish i could say the same. (At this point i went to bed) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
