Sinister: Get out of the nursery and into the sunshine!
by CrnflkgrlO＠aol.com 15 Aug '01

15 Aug '01

Allow me to introduce myself...... Hi! My name is Rachel. I wish I could shake all thousands of hands right now. Actually, you all deserve big hugs! I've been on the list now for a little less than a year. It has grown into not only a love, but an unhealthy obsession. And dammit, I want to join to club too! Can I, mummy, can I? I thought I'd share a horrid story that earns me big hugs. This year, I brought Tigermilk to school for my friend to borrow. During English class when we were doing absolutely nothing as usual, I popped it in the cd player for her to hear (my teacher was a pretentious music obsessive, who played Bob Marley everyday to prove he was cool to the stoners). During Expectations, everyone laughed when Stuart/Struan hit the high notes!!!! Think of the irony of THAT song causing me to be laughed at....the story of my life. To this day, I am extremely fearful of sharing Belle and Seb with anyone, if they laugh, I want to cry. At he end of the year, me and my friend (same girl as before, I only have one) had to do a project on the seventies with album reviews in it. I wanted to do Nick Drake, but resisted sharing beautiful music with the world because I feared they would laugh. I ended up doing Fleetwood Mac instead.......sigh.......... I'm going to the second LA show and the first SF show....whoot whoot!!! I would apologize to the rest of the list who doesn't get to see them, but I'm too much of a selfish brat to honestly feel bad. It's my turn, and you'll get yours! I like exclamation marks!!!! Genuine content: In an America entertainment magazine, it reports: "Rather than cut explicit scenes to earn an R rating for Storytelling, Todd Solondz has reportedly covered up the sex with a big red block." Makes me feel all excited and dirty to see it. Ken Chu, will you be MINE? I have fantasies of this mild-mannered asian by day, DDR sexpot kung fu fighter by night. How close am I? I like Camera Obscura, they are lurvely. When you look it up at amazon.com, you also get a hardcore punk band from my hometown of San Diego as well. Doesn't Stockholm Syndrome by YLT also sound sort of B and S-y?? My 15 minutes of sheer terror are up. I'm going to go hide in a cave now. -rachel cornflake +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: We would especially like to welcome all the representatives of Il linois' law enforcement community.
by Gardiner, Stuart 15 Aug '01

15 Aug '01

By my reckoning, some time this week will mark the fourth anniversary of my joining Sinister. And I've still not found anything better to do. Come to think of it, one of the most popular reasons for joining this list seems to be to cop off with someone, and I haven't managed that yet either. Well I've been away for the last few weeks, and come back to find a veritable mountain in my inbox. When I'd climbed to the summit, and lent Sherpa Tenzing some money for his bus fare home on the way, I started to read my emails (it's amazing the places you can find Internet Cafes these days). I see there's been another short war going on. This happens periodically, generally at times when there has been a recent drop in the level of smut on the list. Let that be a lesson to you all. Noone ever gave out abuse while they were busy doing the dirty deed. At least, noone Cliff Richard would approve of. Back when the list was young, and we were all still breast-feeding from our list mummy, Struan Murdoch was the name that appeared in a newspaper article I believe (was it around the time of the Brit award?), and it was taken up as an example of the stupidity of journalists. Then it became Genevieve's pet-name for Stuart. And now, it's used by people who weren't even born when it first started out (possibly). I can't remember any more exact details than that - can any other old-timers do any better? In Pinefox's list of great songwriters, the most startling omission was Duffy. Anybody who hasn't yet discovered the genius of the Lilac Time should rush straight out and buy the Compendium which has just come out - 2 CDs of sweet melodic wonderment, and perfect for a summer's day. Sorry, but the Magnetic Fields don't even come close. Are the Gentle Waves heading in a new direction with their songs? The following lyrics may or may not(*) appear on the next single... I woke early one morning, The earth lay cool and still; When suddenly a tiny bird Perched on my window sill. He sang a song so lovely, So carefree and so gay, That slowly all my troubles Began to slip away. He sang of far off places, Of laughter and of fun, It seemed his very trilling Brought up the morning sun. I stirred beneath the covers, Crept slowly out of bed, Then gently shut the window And crushed his f**king head. I'm not a morning person. (*) Well OK, they probably won't. I'm not sure I can afford to go down to London for the picnic next weekend after my recent excursions, but if anyone feels like offering me a floor for the night, my mind could be changed. I appreciate most of you will be quite happy for me not to turn up, or just not care either way, but what the heck. Big Stu PS Apparently it is now compulsory to mention Mr Chu at least once in every post. So I have. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: cos I'm a fan of the go-karting
by Apps Ben (Mr B) 15 Aug '01

15 Aug '01

Hiya folks, none of our sinister spies in Benicassim mentioned this, so here's an excerpt from the Pulp review in today's NME: "or, like Stuart Murdoch of Belle & Sebastian, spend the day blasting around the local karting circuit at 70 miles per hour." So much for 'I love my car', cheating the minute her back is turned with the first two-stroke hussy that comes along! :-) don't suppose anyone else is going to V2001 in Chelmsford this weekend? I'm going with my housemates, but while they all want to see Texas, The Chilli's, Toploader and Faithless; I'll be seeking out Idlewild, The Divine Comedy, Grandaddy, Ed Harcourt and Ben Folds. Still, it'll be good to get out of the office and into the sunshine/thunderstorms/mud. that's all I guess stay sinister Ben xxx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: don't you want me?
by Dirty Vicar 15 Aug '01

15 Aug '01

Hello, I thought I'd mail again before my existence was forgotten. I went to see some bands last night. They were Pram, Future Pilot AKA, and The Jimmycake. The Jimmycake are a local band, playing loud avant music with lots of people onstage. Very enjoyable. They have a record called "Brains" which is likeable but less hardcore. Future Pilot AKA meanwhile reminded us of early Cornershop - shambolic can-do multiculturalist rock. The way the vocalist's accent kept drifting between Glasgow, Jamaica, and Bangalore was endearing. Aren't Pram also Scottish? They're not unlike Broadcast and can be liked in the same way, even though they've been going much longer. One of them played a really strange looking synthetic instrument which made lovely wibbly noises. I'm really taken by the Angelina Jolie singing with B&S thing, though I bet the band are too afraid of her to let it happen. Harry Hunt asks "Isn't there somewhere in Ireland that you can buy a horse for a fiver, and all the ned/spydes on the council estates have one, and call it Prince? (The one called Sheba died)" There is such a place. I live ten minutes from it. It's brilliant, mangey ponies for half nothing. Every house needs a horse. What is great is if you walk around there when the fair is over and all the creamers are racing home on their new mounts. It's like Genghis Khan's army have invaded. Peter Carter commented ages ago that Isobel Campbell is carefully cultivating a false image of cute innocence when in fact she is a saucy little pop vixen. But the more recent Gentle Waves stuff I've heard (say 'Sister Woman' and 'Fall From Grace') sounds kind of raunchy, albeit raunchy with la-la-la-la-la-la vocals. So where does that leave your theory? The Pinefox has started claiming that Deacon Blue are not completely rubbish and implying that they are a bit like Belle & Sebastian. The Pinefox is surely taking the piss. Deacon Blue are awful - Marxist science proves this. I remember when they had a big hit with 'Real Gone Kid' and wish I didn't. Sacharine sickbag music of the worst sort. And their covers of Bacharach & David songs were enough to put me off those great songs for a decade. So no more Deacon Blue. A-a-a-a-ages ago Lucy Adler teased me with a subject line: "Bel sings Billie". And it wasn't about how the Gentle Waves were doing a cover of 'Because We Want To' or 'Honey to the Bee', it's just boring Billie Holiday. very disappointed. I'm listening to Laibach at the moment. does anyone else know them? I'm trying to think what B&S song they'd be most likely to cover. It's a tough one... I'd say B&S songs have so many words that Mr Laibach Vocalist's throat would have been coughed up by the time the song had finished. 'Der Stadt bin Ich in' could be amusing. All your talk of picnics has made me think of more ways to indiefy my life. Currently Rener and I are talking of flying over to sunny London in late August to go to Track & Field. Anyone fancy any picnic action around then? and now it's time to go. bless you all.

Sinister: south african beatsfreak in 'understanding twee' shocker!!!
by brenda milton-bradley 15 Aug '01

15 Aug '01

FB said that when in the virgin megastore on oxford street she read what was written on the "staff review" of "JD" like "satchels and hello kitty a gogo" or similar, and thought it apt. i do too, but thought you might find it amusing that the south-african-ponytailed-boy-who-wrote-it is actually a hardcore madbeats lover who beatmixes for breakfast etc etc and acts like a supercool TAKNO LUVVA (i spelled it like this to emphasise the WACKiness of it all). so that's a little bit funny. i don't think he was being abusive or anything, or sneering, just well-read. and i know kinda cos i work there. but not in singles - in rock. and pop. if anyone ever goes to the HMV in oxford street (sorry to be so londoncentric) you should read with pleasure all the reviews written on the vinyl LPs cos the boy John who writes them is a mad bad Belle fan and very ace too. he got married last week and i DJed his wedding and intended to play all coolstuff but the crowd ended up baying for bloody duran duran etc so there was only time to slip in "Legal Man" before the rot set in. alas. john was the first one to play me a Belle song i didn't hate, and that was "Belle and Sebastian" from the "Dog On Wheels" ep. so there. OH! on the peel session last night when peely read out struan's email and gave "props" to sinister i cheered for joy (well, in disbelief, actually) and my flatmates were furious because up until then they had refused to believe it we/this/it existed. so HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! its hot. but not as hot as sydney summer '95.... aaaaaaaaaaaah.... love to all Brenda ------------------------------------------------------------ . +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: All the assholes in the world, and mine
by Brier Random 15 Aug '01

15 Aug '01

A particularly vulgar way to start a post, via Bukowski, but appropriate. I've been listening to Pavement constantly, but even they don't have anything as shocking as Buk with which to begin a post. A little repetition via the reindeers: Dasher: "Here's your hat, what's your hurry?" Dancer: "I thought he hung his boots up and then retired." Prancer: "Gay as a tangerine." Vixen: "You know who you are. I've got the bruises to prove it." Comet: "He's always shooting up too much." Cupid: "Put too much poison in the dart." Donner: "Ate the dead; some party." Blitzen: "Ooh, you mixed wine with Jim Beam, it's gonna end up on the carpet." Rudolph: Insists on forthcoming posts from Joan of Dark, LLaura LLew, and Velocity. We've been waiting patiently and now we've come to the end of our rope. Enlighten us. A Christmas carol here in the blossoming midsummer night. Now back to our regularly scheduled program. TODAY'S BIRTHDAYS Napoleon Bonaparte: Famous French guy with his hand in his shirt Ben Affleck: Recovering celebrity Julia Child: Famous chef and fellow Santa Barbaran Ethel Barrymore: Actress with famous Last Name This post is sponsored by those Hard Lemonade type drinkys they sell nowadays. Dangerous stuff, they go down even easier than Red Bull Vodkas (sorry Ken-- it's Tru, Chu) and you don't realize you're stupid until much later, but by then she's already let you fumble about a bit, and it's too late to turn back. So you fool around a bit, while "Henry & June" runs on the VCR in the background, and you wonder why, but you press on, while Bing Crosby sings "I Found A Million Dollar Baby In A Five-And-Ten-Cent Store" and you can't be sure if you're there, at her spot, but she seems to be responding so you feel you're close at least. Breathing gets heavy, then works up into moans, then subsides. And as the credits roll you sleep a guilty sleep, knowing that you'll see her tomorrow whether it worked or not. She snores, and you get up to write a quick Sinister post without shorts on. At least I do. Viva la musica pop. ~Brier +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Being a reptile's fine, when you go all the way to being gruesome
by ArtsyDeco＠aol.com 15 Aug '01

15 Aug '01

COMING SOON TO A THEATER NEAR YOU: LORD OF THE CHU starring: Kevin Bacon as The Ring Isobel's Bum as Middle Earth Charleton Heston as The Gates of Moria Gwyneth Paltrow as Some Brickwork in Mordor Sir Kenneth of Chu as Himself (yeah he was in the book. Didn't you READ it? Sheesh) Quite frankly I'm a bit disappointed with the choice of Charleton Heston for the Gates. You just know he's going to overact the whole thing, creaking far to much when he opens. I'm going to the London picnic. *Try not to scream joyfully and scare people* Do any other Americans get the honor and privilege? I'll be arriving at Gatwick that very morning at 5:55 so forgive me if I'm a little groggy. I think I'll be wearing the red robot necklace I made myself. So yes, that is how you'll know me. Oh, and I'll be spending alot of time with Peter Carter. I'll try to find some appropriately hued knickers as well. Please be my friends. There was talk of Art Garfunkle. I think it should become common knowledge that my friend knows someone who once dreamt of a naked Art Garfunkle, lying on a futon and squirting himself with Easy Cheese. Word is he enjoyed it too. I've nearly sorted out my Sinister mixtape. I'm just waiting on some list member music, which I'm quite excited about. Then all that remains is to nail down the appropriate quotes and get you to say them! Do I expect you to TALK sinisterines? No, Mr. and Ms. Sinister, I expect you to DIE...er ahem, or actually the first bit...right talking, that IS what I expect you to do. Sorry. I have a sweater that's very Dr. Evilesque. It takes control sometimes. Roy Orbison is way better than Elvis, but he will never get all the crazy fans because he wasn't pretty. I hope none of you ever have to get wisdom tooth surgery. There. Now you see how much I love you, Kara Jean* +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: sir, your lipgloss is still in the taxi
by Gordon 14 Aug '01

14 Aug '01

I'm at the Pleasance: centre Edinburgh Fringe and this woman is shouting at me. She's really upset. She's a nurse. I'm 'involved' in that nasty public building down the street that arrogantly using up so much precious public money. It's true, I suppose. Someone comes over to ask her to leave because she's making too much noise... I leave instead, explaining that I feel I'm the cause of her upset. Actually, there's no problem with passion.. I respect it. But it is upsetting. I stay over in town, and meet mum next day for lunch. Then through this pneumatic castle outside the Sheraton (from where I'd earlier phoned in sick from a comfy bed along the lines of 'curiouser and curiouser'). I go alone to a play in Georges Square in the evening done by some Oxbridge types... very good.. they asked me after if I worked for a newspaper or a magazine as in 'reviewer'. Anyways, it's called 'The Dispute' by Marivaux, and it features a wonderfully histrionic performance by a Ms. Zannah Hudson playing *Egle*. Then, later at night, I play champagne socialist with a maxed and two young lads thought I was going to beat them up: how twee is that? declared that they was not gay but loved me : how twee is that? so some of ... well how high a volume level is life supposed to be at? I haven't even mentioned the brief encounters with other characters, including.. ok, Gordon, stop showing off, and you're writing a weblogue in the wrong place. Place/ (dis)place No matter how hard you try.. you always end up somewhere. I scan the titles on these bookshelves: To reflect what? Is it easier to think up: Than to think nought? I shall quote; For company's sake: How can we do God's will, says Coufoutain in *L'Otage*, when our only way of knowing it is contradicting it? +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: "we, er, hee hee hee!, er don't have any banana."
by Corduroy Boy 14 Aug '01

14 Aug '01

Hey, sinisterbites, I hope any of the Scottish student-type sinsterees got the grades they wanted, I was hap-hap-happy to hear that Jen got straight ones, so lets hear it from all of you! I'm not an athletic type of person, in fact the only sport I partake of is rock climbing and the occasional mountain bike ride, but today I ran home. I don't like running when forced to do athletics, I don't like running to get fit cos I think it's boring, and pointless to do boring stuff when I don't even hold being fit that highly in the scheme of things to do.Neither do I run to clear my head, but today, I RAN. You, know, like when you're a child and you just decide to run instead of walk, and you run so hard that you frequently fall over and your legs go like ribena jelly and you feel silly cos it hurts but you giggle anyway. Well I did that. I felt it my right, because working in a box factory has taken a large part of my childhood, one sinisterbite knows about this, yes I am of course talking about the love of bubble wrap. When throwing huge rolls about becomes a daily activity, you soon forget the hours of fun that it once gave you. I bought the Delgado's Great Eastern yesterday and the reindeer thingy today, but haven't really listened to either good and proper yet, I wish everyone would stop reminding me of cool music I do not have. Well, I don't actually, I wish everyone would keep mentioning those little obscure bands that are really cool because B&S were one of those to me about two years ago. I will dispel the rumour that Jeanette heard by telling you all straight and true "I am not in any way a teenybopper." Sorry if this offends you teenyboppers. Not really, serves you right for being one. The "where did the word Struan come from" question still stands, I have in fact been absolutely inundated by letters thanking me for admitting to my ignorance and asking if I could spill the secret when I get it so, if anyone DOES know, you could actually be the ONLY ONE so mail me, name yourself and you will be pinned up with that legend for ever. Is anyone else annoyed that Oxfam has tried to be new and streetwise and thrown out all their original seventies stuff? I now have to go to the British Heart Foundation,which is way in town but thankfully it is still a true aladdins cave for stuff. Going to Newquay at the weekend, woo! I will not be clubbing, I will be blasting B&S on the beach, eating mini-milks and twisters and supping the purple goods. Remembered something, went to Maccy D's the other day and asked for a banana milkshake, was told they had no bananas today (No quote intended) so I settled with strawberry. But a girly came in later and asked for one, and it turned out they did have the banana stuff! But, I was not annoyed, cos all my friends and me laughed reel hard, imagining the sad little fella talking to his mates later on, going "Get this, this lad in flares walked in and asked for a banana milkshake, right, and I, ha ha, I told him we didn't have any! Ha ha ha!" "Yeah, nice one Mark, I pulled the strawberry one yesterday!" Oh, to work in Mac Dohs! If you were the guy who "pulled the banana one" on me, thanks for a hilarious evening! As ever, love to you all, I think it's a while since I last expressed my appreciation to you for all being so...yes. Thanks. See you in BHF (if you live in Sheffield) Corduroy Boy Tom P.S. I have decided not to be so lazy, mssng t ll th vwls t my sgntre. Heh heh heh. how clever of me... P.P.S. Sorry to be a bug in the Ribena, Jen, but if you could e-confirm the sending of the goods, I am quite literally babbing myself in anticipation which, with your recently remembered toilet SOH you will find hilarious. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
