Sinister: Wanking and crying
by Mark Casarotto 08 Aug '01

08 Aug '01

That Alder minx is just trying to get you all hot and sweaty. And the best way to get a-steamy is to come to big gay Cabbage's picnic on the 25th, in Regents Park. How exciting! Is Honey going to come? We're also working on getting a little Tigermilking-style booty-shaking sorted for afterwards, so bring your dancing shoes. Madeleine McNeil just gets better and better, like a good whisky, or a trainee bookmaker. She deserves to be added to her own props list, I think. Julie and Neil - stop flirting, you guys! Get a room! Ain't love grand, etc. :-) So. What should my next karaoke performance involve then? Anyone who's seen me do it knows that I'm not too keen on three note dirges like, say, "Life is a Rollercoaster" by big gay Robbo. I need melody! I need flamboyance! I need ball-squeezing falsetto passages! And I need inspiration. Help me! I haven't listened to B&S for a few days now. Since my car got half-inched, I don't seem to have as much time for music. Are they still good? I find it hard to believe, frankly, that anyone can big up the yellow one when the green one is SOOOO good. It's take 3 years to properly appreciate it, but cor, what an album. Apart from the StuD song which doesn't really fit in. Hmm. Perhaps we should all go back several years in the archives and discuss things that were radical and exciting THEN. I have all the best ideas, me.

Sinister: The Ken Chu Ownership Society
by Madeleine McNeil 08 Aug '01

08 Aug '01

Ken Chu is mine, I tell you, MINE! I placed the winning bid of 76p so that makes Mr KPY Chu all mine. I am currently warming a branding iron saying "Property of Madeleine McNeil" to press into the tender flesh of his bottom. So, if anyone would care to appreciate him, do ask my permission first. A small fee will be charged for those wishing to desire/admire Ken, but I assure you it's worth every penny. I am considering opening a Ken Chu Theme Park, with attractions such as The Rollercoaster Ride, the Kenconut Shy and a hoopla game involving police helmets and a good aim. Re: my last doom-laden post about my holiday. I take it all back. The Loved One and I had a fantastic time and I only got shouted at once, and I did really deserve it. I threw one tantrum, but plead severe provocation. All those daft hills everywhere. I longed for a bit of flatness. Caravans are rather twee, I think, as they're a bit like doll's houses. Everyhting's very little and cute and it feels like playing. Even the washing up was fun (for the first two days, then the novelty wore off). I, too, have joined the ranked of the Sinister Jobseekers Club. I appled for a customer service post at the Arts Cinema in town, sixteen hours a week. I was not called for interview but am amply qualified. What do these bastard employers want? Do I need a degree and an MA to sell tickets and cornettos for £6.50 and hour? I'm not "cool" enough to work in the trendy bars in town, as it seems the only qualification required for those establishments is model good looks and a vacant stare. Vacant, I can do. Kate Moss Chic, I struggle with. Maybe the profits from the Ken Chu Theme Park can fund my nicotine and drink habits. There might even be a bit left over to fund Ken's pornography habit :) Much love Madeleine xxx PS. Thanks to Vic Vodkabird, Ken and Geoff for hilarious posts. _________________________________________________________________ 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: Miss Berry rings the bell for the third round.
by idleberry 08 Aug '01

08 Aug '01

Right this is how I see it. Julie: heres a thought. Have you ever considered organising a tour in your life? All you need to do, cos you know, I'm betting its dead easy likes, is this: get eight people to agree on a time period when they are available for doing things like tours. sort out the following: (for eight people, minimum) hotels flights connecting flights buses car hire (possibly) food laundry promotion Also sort out transport, shipping, insurance for things those people need with them, like Amps, mikes, guitars, drum kits, violins, keyboards, etc etc etc. Arrange PA, lighting, soundman, lights person and other backstage crew types. Arrange roadie types, security to prevent fans from injuring the band or themselves. sort out merchindising, who will sell it. Arrange ticket prices, arrange fee taken (probably) by venue. discuss booking fees. Arrange ticket sellers and outlets. Arrange for session musicians for bits and peices to accompany the band on stage. Hope it all goes according to plan. Don't take or get any credit when it goes well. Get the blame when it goes wrong, even in a little way that is totally out of your control. It should only take half an hour (including a five minute break for coffee). I'm sure Neil was just not playing everywhere you wanted for a laff you know. I mean, its hardly a difficult job hes got is it? I bet hes sitting right now, enjoying sex on the beach (the cocktail) laffing at everyone, cos he knows he has the power to control everything that goes on. He makes us dance like puppets to whatever whim of his mind, and works poor B+S to the grindstone to make his money to line his pockets, until Chris begs for mercy, and Stevie passes out, sweat dribbling down his face, from exhaustion. I bet Stuart is a gibbering wreck on the verge of breakdown cos of it. Oh, and by the way, BE NICE TO RECEPTIONISTS. Theres another group of people who are expected to be mind readers and fortune tellers and you know, have telekinetic powers. grrr.. Ta.

Sorry to go on but is any one else getting sick off this whole Boyzone vs Bros banter. I can't believe there has been over 67 inflammatory emails about it, especially after Honey told everyone to quit it. The post that really got on my nerves was Phil Collins', especially when he said "...and if one more fuckin two bit dumb shit Boyzone fan comes up to me and sings Father and Son, I'll shove my fist up their fuckin nose." to be fait though, he was only replying to Gloria Hunnifords insulting post "When will I be famous? Never you Gossy cretin. Ronan is god. I love him. Woo-hoo. Boyzone rule man, they made Westlife. Fuck Bros, they're shite." In my (important) opinion, I think both combos are equally wick. Bros set the standard for boyband super groups with their blues-infused rhythms and rock n roll disregard for taxation, whereas Boyzone have showed that crazee dance routines are still vital and that old songs are still really good, even today. I hope this settles all the arguments because I'm right. At the end of the day, we all love Bros and Boyzone, or why else would we be here? Don't shoot the messenger. gday ps message to myself-must read more posts +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Firty Uream Cumber Kwo (EXCLUSIVE world record attempt)
by Ken Chu 08 Aug '01

08 Aug '01

Dear Sinister, I meant to write you sooner but I just been busy. You said the Sinister archive is back on now, how far along is it? Look, I'm really flattered you would talk about B&S and here's an autograph for your sister, I wrote it on this police helmet. I'm sorry B&S won't see you at the show, they musta missed you. Don't think they did that shit intentionally just to diss you. But what's this shit you said about you like to flame people too? I say that shit just clownin dogg, c'mon - how fucked up is you? You got some issues Sinister, I think you need some picnicing, to help your ass from bouncing off the walls when you get down some. And what's this shit about Angelina Jolie and B&S are going to sing together? That type of shit'll make me really want to see them meat each other. I really think Isobel and I need each other, or maybe her bum is just full of butter. I hope you get to read this e-mail, I just hope it reaches you in time before it gets buried under 934829 posts, I think that you'll be doin' just fine if you relax a little, I'm glad B&S inspire you but Sinister why are you so mad? Try to understand, that they do want you as a fan, they just don't want you to post some crazy shit, I seen this one shit on the list a couple months ago that made me sick: Some dude was drunk and sent a load of shitty e-mails on the list and his imaginary girlfriend was in the trunk, and she was pregnant with his kid, and in the e-mail they found the address, but I can't remember who it was to Come to think about, his name was.. it was Chu. Damn! Kisses and Red Bulls Ken P.S.: Julie, Neil Robertson and a few others said: >> You know....fuckin... fucking....fucking For fuck's... fuck's.... fucking... fucking... fucking... ...fucking ...fucking.. fucking.. fuck. fucking. fucking ...fuck's.. fuck.. fucking... fuckin..fuck << Marc Bloomfield said: >>I hope Sinister doesn't turn into a competition to see who can write the word 'fuck' the most in one e-mail. It seems to be heading that way<< I think, cunningly, by using the power of quoting everyone else, I have won this EXCLUSIVE world record breaking fuck-saying competition without actually swearing like a trooper myself! I am such a clever boy. (Almost as clever as the subject line.. so not that terribly clever). P.P.S.: YAY!!!! I've got a job!! Yay!! Temp agency have finally found me a crappy data entry job! Yay! It pays money and stuff woohoo! And it's for a Christmas Card company! How, um, twee. :-) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: neil vs. americans, sunday sunday sunday!
by eric the half a bee 07 Aug '01

07 Aug '01

I've been trying and trying to stay out of this, but I'm tired of getting posts about the following: 1) neil is wonderful 2) neil is evil 3) americans aren't better than anyone else 4) fans do/do not have any special claim on the object of their fandom to everyone who thinks julie was complaining about the lack of a b&s east coast tour, go and read her post again. here, I've made it easy for you: http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/latest/msg00050.html about neil's response: yes, julie was harsh. but, I think it was meant to be *humorous* (albeit spot-on). even if julie called neil every name in the book (which she didn't) neil should have the restraint, maturity, and common sense not to publicly attack her. he is supposedly a professional, and professionals don't act like that, and the fact that he did is more proof in defense of julie's points. christ, I'm tired of this. let's all move on. -eric ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: an open letter of encouragement for Neil Robertson
by Lawrence Mikkelsen 07 Aug '01

07 Aug '01

Neil, Just to let you know that, whilst it may not seem like it, a lot of the listees here on Sinister are with you all the way. Belle & Sebastian have done pretty well for their fans as a band (despite what some listees have said), by not spreading their b-sides over 3 CDs, not doubling up their tracks on releases etc., and putting on the sort of shows which are a real "event" (or so I'm told ... I live in one of the many counties where B&S have not *yet* visited) It's sad when a minority of American-centric fans feel they have a monopoly on fandom, and even sadder that they feel the band "owes" them gigs. For heaven's sake ... if you want to be into a band that does gigantic, State spanning shows, start buying Dave Matthews Band records. American fans are no more or less important than anyone else (in the way that, as a country, American is no more important than the rest of the world, despite what a lot of it's citizens think ....) American fans, try not to worry. It's not like Neil has said B&S will *never* come back to the US. He's just asked you to be patient. Like the rest of the world has had to be patient. Hell, I'm sure B&S will be playing New York long before they ever play Auckland, New Zealand. Don't make Sinister listees sound like the sort of headcases who hang out on morrissey-solo.com And Neil ..... keep up the good work. There are a lot of us out there, silent or otherwise, who think you do a great job. cheers, Lawrence Mikkelsen +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: The less room you give me, the more space I've got
by Michelle R. 07 Aug '01

07 Aug '01

Man is it hot outside. It's times like these in which I wish to retreat to an Inuit village somewhere and wear snow-shoes and be cold. Or maybe that hotel in Sweden (I think it's Sweden?) that is made out of ice. Well anywhere that's nice and frosty. I know what you're thinking...'oh but when it's freezing out she'll wish it was summer.' Well I never do that because how some people like summer..I like winter, and you usually don't complain about the season you like most. And I've just spent 2 posts talking about seasons haven't I...so I'll stop. But yay for summer. So who's anxiously awaiting 'Vespertine' besides me?! Wait. Don't answer that, I know how you all can get mm hmm. But I've heard some of it and it's yummy. Ok, best Bjork video: 'All is full of love.' WHY:ohmygoodness it had Bjork robots making out. Sure it sounds sleazy, but it's actually a very beautiful video. Pure Chris Cunningham genius. and speaking of.... If you get a chance to see Sade live (and if you like her music), go! She has giant waves, galloping horses (very 'Catch the Sun'-esque), and a giant mirror ball projecting onto a screen and everything. It's not PopMart or anything, it's really classy (art deco-ish set) and twee almost, in an aggressive way. B&S content. Well I don't want to dwell on my opinion of the whole badmouthing-fans/bands that has been going on, but keep in mind that quote by Voltaire that you've all heard before, 'I dissaprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.' Anywho Moving on. How's about a poem. B&S are nice and hip Their music vids are such a trip Jonathan David is their new song Hey Stevie sings, and it's not too long All of their cd's are super class So dance like Stu and shake that ass geez that was pretty lame. But, oh well. xx Michelle mitten xx __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make international calls for as low as $.04/minute with Yahoo!
