Sinister: I was Bacharach to your David
by Robin Stout 16 Aug '01

16 Aug '01

Do you know they way to San Jose? Yes it's over there. Oh right. The Dairy Fairy said: >Girls are hardly ever allowed to be smutty are they? And I think they > >should be, because sex is just so funny. Yes, where *is* Archel? Brenda Milton-Bradley, did you invent Connect Four and Guess Who? I know you didn't invent Monopoly because I once met the man who did. He was living in an old boot on the corner of Old Kent Road* and was mumbling something about wanting to buy a house for fifty pounds. I gave him two pounds, just to shut up the blathering old tramp, who kept on growling, in-between the hiccups, that 'I own this street', and demanding 'rent', obviously thinking I was a sailor. I knew I shouldn't have worn those trousers in that part of town. I made hasty exit back to my flat in The Strand* wearing my shiny pork pie hat. After my comments about liking the Yellow album over the Green one, I have tried to work out what I actually meant, because I was pretty confused about it myself. I think what it is is that even though the songs on the Green one are mostly better, the Yellow one is more charming. It has a story and a funny picture and it is the colour of cowslips. And, when B+S appear on Rock Legends, this will be the "troubled fourth album", with its wierdness of songs, that preceded the "magnificent fifth album": A controversial song about rape, Stevie having a funny turn in Beyond the Sunrise, and an album being pulled apart by the twin buffaloes of kitchen sink misery and high plains escapism. And even then lots of songs that didn't make it. It's a series of experiments, some of them exploding and others fizzing, that were precursors to the inventiveness we've been hearing lately. I think it's much more *interesting* too. For example Chickfactor=boring, whereas Beyond the Sunrise=oh my god they've gone barmy. It's an angry misfit, the sounds of discontent, and, I still don't really know why, but I like it. Robin x * Americans should substitute different street names here. West Forty Seventh and East Eighty Second are two of my favourites. I doubt if it will make any more sense, though. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: get me a way from here i'm driving
by Ken Chu 16 Aug '01

16 Aug '01

Hello! What makes you tick? Would it be a big long stick? Or a film that's really sick? Or modern classics? Or drama on TV with people with names like "Drazic"? Sorry I have watched too much "Heartbreak High" on TV lately. Probably cos I fancy Sarah, even tho she is a bit annoying most of the time, but then most of them are, even "Drazic", despite the amusingest name ever. (and how everyone pronounces it "Draseeeeeeeeeeeeeeek") In between watching Heartbreak High I've also managed to move house, this new house is way smaller than the old house, but still it fits everything in okay. Removals people are amazing! They're like those men you see on "The World's Strongest Man" competitions, only not as strong, but still, this guy lifted up this 29 inch TV on his own like it was made of glass (well it is sort of made of glass, but for the sake of an expression..). I was impressed. I then tried to do the same with a shelf, and succeeded in looking like a World's Strongest Man myself, but one of those really loveable ones who frustratingly can't compete because he's picked up a back injury. And then after doing the rituals of my mum giving me a list of 350 things I need to do and 300 telephone numbers I have to phone up in 1 minute flat, and me doing those 750 things, I finally sat down and relaxed in front of the TV, with which the cable connection is not yet connected so I had to rely on the crappy TV aerial which let me watch a lot of white snow whilst listen to Heartbreak High, to here them all say "Draseeeeeek!" Gotta shop for shirt and tie later so I will look swish and sexay for my first day at work next Monday, and also red knickers, so I will look swish and sexay for the forth anniversary picnic next Saturday. Woohoo life is so sweet. Especially with Red Bull.

Sinister: evocative sounds of summer
by john john 16 Aug '01

16 Aug '01

dear Sinister, silly me forgot to put a subject on my last post, so here it is: ***trolley cars & rain & bungee jumping*** last night, my friend and i went on our second little/big walk together. the last time, i took him on the round d*n*wa*l walk but it wasnt really, because we only walked a wee section of what the authentic walk takes you, and we made up a little tour of our own. we walked down to the firth and looked at the water and hills and sheep far away, and i was trying to make him take in how gorgeous the scenery is, but he wasnt really taking much of it; he was concentrating on getting stuff off his chest. which was the same exercise as yesterday evening. i took him a different walk, up the hill which at the back of the town. its a really steep climb, and then we got to the top, and we just sat and got our breath back, and he was telling me of the things that was messing his head: a girl he couldnt have, and then another girl too who he was confused about, but he was just wanting someone to like him. he was describing his jealousy in the other boys who would kiss these girls and flirt, although he didnt name it jealousy he didnt name it anything but confusion. so i told him it was jealousy; i was feeling exactly the same. we decided wed walk for another while, since it wasnt really uphill anymore, but horizontal along the hill. i wanted to show him this really wee village hall that i was at during a party. it is so wee, you can imagine idlewild rocking its roof off, like they probably did in portree... it turned out by the time we got there, wed already walked 4 œ miles, and the sun was beginning to set, we were in the middle of nowhere. so we decided to just keep walking. eventually, the road would have taken us to my sisters, and she could drive us home before we the bears & wolves & pixies came out to dance. the sunset last night was one of the most amazing ive seen. before the road started to descend, the sky was a mixture of light pink and purple, with the fluffy clouds looking like scrumptious marshmallows: all funny coloured, and slightly fuzzy round the edges. the more we walked, the brighter the pink became, until it started to look neon. the purple made way for the fluorescent rose, and the marshmallow melted, stretching and expanding across the sky, but only in a relatively thin band; theres only so much marshmallow. we got to my sisters, and she was really surprised at getting a tap at her window. she doesnt usually have brothers walking 8 miles to tap her window. she gave us a drink. because we were thirsty (we lightly jogged the last mile) and took us home. theres so much more i could say about last night, and other things but this is a mailing list.. im a bit wary about posting this much... so i wont again in a while. yours embarrassingly, john x _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Honey, let's do it
by Michelle R. 16 Aug '01

16 Aug '01

yo Pinefox talked about the brilliance of Burt Bachrach. Now I feel sorry the poor man had to whore himself (I do mean Burt) to Austin Powers to get a boost, but people did pay more attention. What this has to do with his brilliance, I don't know. I just had to tell you that. As if my teeny weak prayers were answered.... The ice princess herself, aka Bjork, is touring. I finally get a chance to see her live. *can I get a 'YAY?!'* I'm even skipping PJ Harvey to see her! Now my friends, that is devotion on my part. This is another part of my plan for saintlike frugality. I'm cutting costs across the board and thinking of other ways to increase my cash flow. This also involves NOT spending hideous amounts of money on cd's. Guess what, I haven't bought a cd in almost 2 months! gasp! shock! horror! surprise! Yeah, I must be losin' my mind. I am totally out of the 'indie' music circuit now. Like I have no clue who The Shins are or what they sound like and I could care less because I am $14 richer for my ignorance. So, I guess I'm not cool now huh? ;) Though I do keep a list of cd's I'd someday like to have just in case I hit my head one day and forget my frugality and spend some billsbillsbills on music. So if anyone feels sorry for me because I don't know what's hip or snazzy anymore, mixtapes would be appreciated. If you like. *winkwinknudgenudge* Why oh why is Nicolas Cage playing Penelope Cruz's love interest? I ask you......why? Pobresita. Christian Bale is in that film too, and she plays *cage's* honey bunny??? What's up with that. Oh and did anyone see Tori Amos' new haircut?? Drum roll please: She hasn't had a new cd in a while. She died her hair. She chopped off her locks. Ladies and Gentlemen- she's ready to get her groove on. I think Spark is a nice song too quickquick B&S content. um *thinks* I don't know where "Struan" comes from either. :/ xxMichelle mittenxx erm, the title is a common phrase of mine kidding, it's Kirsty Maccoll __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: la la la la la laaa....
by ivyivyivy＠popmail.com 15 Aug '01

hello sinister! i am fine, how are you? currently, i have bruises EVERYWHERE. i dropped a few planks on my head and face while building the backstage-fence for the festival i advertised for a few weeks ago. anyway, the festival was so fun. cessna (a GREAT band from tampere, if you havn't heard them yet, there are some mp3s at http://www.indiepages.com/jigsaw/) were nice and their gig was quite good, although they could have played better songs, and the audience was a bit lame, everyone stood 10meters from the stage, except for me, who was taking pictures like crazy. (look: http://www.multi.fi/~babydoll/poppaloorafoton/) first floor power, the others (22-pistepirkko) and le futur pompiste were great as well, and everything was fun, especially the "staff-party" we had at 2 a.m. we had booked a dj to play last, but everyone, except the workers left then, so we had our own party then instead. the only bad thing was when i was dressed up as a bee, handing out free candy to the visitors, my friend linnea ran up and hugged me. my costume was made out of a black plastic bag, paper wings and yellow paint. WET yellow paint. i tried to scream; "LINNEA LINNEA, don't touch me, i've got paint all over me!!" but she didn't hear me. when she finally let me go she was covered in paint. it was in her hair and all over her clothes, from her neck down to her knees. and my costume was now a plastic bag with yellow spots on and wrinkled paper tied to my back. woopsie. everyone should come next year. :D on monday it's my birtday. my eighteenth. send me presents, or i'll hunt you down, and bite you in the neck! i've wished for tickets to the eels concert in helsinki the 31st. i hope i get them, i was planning to go see stereolab in stockholm in september, but surprise: the age limit is 20. why oh why can't any good bands play finland? time for me to go to bed, school starts at 8 tomorrow. xoxo hanna ....................................

Sinister: i see you baby...shakin that ass shakin that ass
by Kirsten Kenyon 15 Aug '01

15 Aug '01

the day has finally arrived, and it is with pride and a bittersweet smile that i announce the retirement of my brown corduroy pants. they have served me well for nearly six years, but extensive wear and and my active lifestyle have slowly drained the vitality from these faithful flares. they have been worn thin to the point of transparency, especially around the knees and the bum. one might imagine there to be something rather sexy about see-through corduroy pants, but there really isn't. onto more important matters. the kids in the hall is on right now, and i was wondering if anyone else is truly repulsed by the chicken lady. it's silly, but the mere thought of her scratching around with feathers flying everywhere, her scary beak nose and her homemade omelettes "straight from [her] body onto your plate" makes me shudder. i like the program well enough, but the chicken lady crosses the line. my horoscope today told me to be more like a gypsy and less like a vice-president. i want to apologize...i realize that i have been acting a bit vice-presidential lately, and i'm deeply sorry. even now i am sitting here in a bad suit and pondering possible alternate spellings for the word "potato." *loosens tie* if anyone needs me, i'll be out in the woods with shaking my tambourine and looking for stevie nicks. xoxo kirsten Care2 make the world greener! http://www.care2.com - Get your Free e-mail account that helps save Wildlife! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: sweet smoothing sounds
by Rehak, Kimberly M. 15 Aug '01

15 Aug '01

dear sinister:: kara jean said in her letter: Roy Orbison is way better than Elvis, but he will never get all the crazy fans because he wasn't pretty. and i say: holy hell! roy orbison was hott as balls. you know he wrote that 'pretty woman' song for me, not julia roberts. of course, the first draft was called 'pretty fetus of a fetus' because i was just a wee little thing at that time. anyway, at least big baby roy never got fat. the oldies station is kickin today. the tape play-ah eats all of my tapes so i just stick to the sweet soothing sounds of the 1960s. i'm finding so many sexual connotations in these songs i didn't pick up when i was driving along and car dancing in the minivan many years ago. i would list some of them, but then i don't want to be thought of as a pervert. instead i am going to talk about woman's underwear. i bought some red ones the other day. so i wore them and found them to be quite nice. i am going to wear them on my head to coordinate with a blue & white dress and a bayonet next bastille day. hooray for france! the last time i wore underwear on my head was when i dressed up as santa claus. i needed white hair, you see. so as i departed to the first house on my quest to deliver candy canes to the little kids in the neighborhood. the first house was my best friend heather's. she just laughed and laughed when she saw my santa impression. actually, i think it was the undies on the head that caused it. either way, she didn't get a candy cane. and i went home. is anyone on the list from germany or austria or the germany-speaking section of switzerland? perhaps you could be a beaut and recommend some bands that sing in yr native language? my german desperately needs your help. i have tones of copies of my zine left. let me know if you want a copy. xo, kimmy ------------------------------------------- www.geocities.com/lifeinpink/ ------------------------------------------- lifeinpink.diaryland.com ------------------------------------------- +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: dreams and such
by Katia913＠aol.com 15 Aug '01

15 Aug '01

Sinister sinister sinister, I don't know what to tell you, except for the fact that you all talk about having Belle and Sebastian related dreams, well, I am afraid I have beat you all. I have had a Sinister dream! Not B&S but Sinister, about our mailing list. I have been having really weird dreams lately and last night, after coming home from a jazz show and crashing, I woke up at three with memories of a Sinister picnic somewhere by the sea (by the way, I've never been to a sinister picnic and only been to the sea once). It was a beautiful dream and the best I've had in a while. That's content for you. Some people have had really inspiring posts lately, about how everything has changed sense they came about this list. Well, I've decided to be proactive and MAKE things different. So thank you all for making me not want to be such chicken shit anymore and I am going to stand up to all the people who sit on me the wrong way. Thanks. I love you all sinister!!!
