Sinister: You're The Bee's Knees
by P F 26 Sep '01

It's true about A Taste Of Honey being marvel(l)ous (delete as appropriate), but goodness me, we don't all have Extra Channels. Myself, I can never get round to watching the Non-Extra-Terrestrial (NET) Channels. Peter Miller said: >>> Well, it's better than nothing, I haven't seen many other suggestions... I see. >>> I think that 3,6,9 story is the best one Stuart has graced us with so far. I don't know what you mean. >>> I love the way he uses the word "friend" instead of "bird". Nope. Still nothing. >>> Speaking of which, did you know that Planet of the Apes and Bridge on the River Kwai were both written by the same person? And somehow that really impressed me. Heck, no - so: yes. Did you know that 'Don't Look Back' and 'Charlotte Street' were both written by the same person? And somehow that really impressed me. Did you notice? A gal said that she was playing 'Eighties Fan' on G-D-C only. Let me record not only my approval but that I have pre-empted this plan by writing Frank O'Hara's 'In Memory Of My Feelings' with only 50 words. I have to use the same words quite a bit, and some of them aren't very useful, and the poem comes out different from Frank O'Hara's 'In Memory Of My Feelings'. Still. >>> I wear my clothes because they were in the sales. And I certainly don't wear them in order to attract other people who buy their clothes in the sales. Good point. I agree. Miller said about the Strokes: >>> Top Gear mentioned Ribena in connection with possible upholstery stains. I see. The other day C96 said he was going to write to sinister. What happened? He's not telling. Those of you who can't get to see A Taste Of Honey on fancy TV might like to listen to the Beatles' version of it. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: News Network! Sinister News 24 Hours Per Day!
by Will Salt 26 Sep '01

26 Sep '01

[Scene: a television news room, decorated in the usual shades of beige plastic and with vague signs of people running about in the background. Male and female anchormen sit in front of their cameras, ruffling their scripts about in the usual way. Up come the lights, and the music stops.] HIM: Good evening. You're watching the Sinister News Network. I'm Sebastian Chocbunny. HER: And I'm Isobel Fanclub. Here are tonight's headlines. SEBASTIAN: Ken Chu is Sinister's most prolific poster yet again. ISOBEL: Birmingham jokes "not compulsary" say experts. SEBASTIAN: Scottish listee rocks world of philosophy. ISOBEL: Reports from the Sinister Statistical Research Institute suggest that Ken Chu will be the most prolific poster of the month yet again next week, but it will be a close-run contest. Surprise entries in this month's top ten list include such well-known but normally quiet posters as Mandee Wright and Rob Brennan. SEBASTIAN: Experts from the Compulsary Jokes Faculty of Sinister University have announced that it is *no longer* compulsary to make a joke about Birmingham, England, whenever the infamous Vodkabird sends a post to the list. They considered putting jokes about Kirkcaldy on the compulsary list, but could not think of any apart from "Fife -- they're all inbreds, aren't they?" ISOBEL: A well-known listee from West Calder, Scotland, has become the latest star in the world of philosophy. Richard "Quiff" Gillanders has amazed experts with his new book on the life and works of the philosopher de Selby. The book, entitled "That Flann O'Brien Knew What He Was Talking About And No Mistake", will be published on September 31st. SEBASTIAN: Later on in the program, we interview the most popular listee, and ask the question "Picnics: twee, or just an excuse for a piss-up?" First, however, a report from Wisconsin, USA, where Kirsten Kenyon -- the famous Sinister artist, writer, and owner of large-scale garden landscaping company "Kenyon's Canyon's" has been causing a storm. Here's the report. [An attractive young girl -- looking "like a cross between Jennifer Lopez and a Swiss mountain girl" -- stands in the middle of, um, a city or something. An American one. I don't know what America looks like. Make it up for yourself] VOICEOVER: Normally, Milwaukee, Wisconsin is your typical American city. But local girl Kirsten Kenyon is putting it on the map with her posts to the Sinister mailing list. She says: she just doesn't know what the fuss is about. KIRSTEN (for it is she): I just tell people what I've been up to, what I'm thinking, what listees in Wisconsin are doing right now. I mean. I mean, I don't know what they're thinking. I don't think there even *are* any other listees in Wisconsin. INTERVIEWER: But weren't you cited as one of the most popular and touching writers on the list. KIRSTEN: Hee. Um. Well, I dunno about that. I just write whatever I think of. I know some boys in Scotland phoned me up and said they liked my posts, but I didn't think anyone else noticed. VOICEOVER: Well, Miss Kenyon certainly seems to be the girl of the moment here in the Mid-West. Now, back to the studio. [And, back in the studio...] ISOBEL: Thanks, Winona. Winona Azadehdel reporting from Milwaukee there. SEBASTIAN: Sinister Picnics. Are they just a few twee souls meeting for a chat, or is there something more, um, sinister about them? Later tonight, the Sinister News Network will be showing an in-depth, hard-hitting documentary, with our top investigative reporter Wendell Soupbasket trying to get to the bottom of what *really* goes on at these events. ISOBEL: What he found will shock you to your very core. We must warn you that his report involves drink, drugs, nudity and perversion, because then you're more likely to stay up and watch it. Here's a trailer. Warning: some viewers may find these scenes offensive. [A stupid-looking reporter stands in a park, with noone else in sight] REPORTER: In just a few hours, a Sinister Picnic is due to take place at this very location. Exactly what depravity will occur? We at the Sinister News Network want to find out just as much as you [Cut to: lots of drunk-looking people standing around in a pub. Well, one is collapsed on the floor, but the rest are standing.] VOICEOVER (yes, the same one as before): Listees have a reputation for being "twee fuckers", but is this really true? Our sources suggest not... [closeup on a girl in the above crowd of drunk-looking people] GIRL: I'm hard as nails, me. VOICEOVER: And later on, things get even worse... [A city street at night, with a small group of people staggering down it, one of whom looks rather puzzled] [Onscreen caption: "Glasgow"] [pause] [another onscreen caption: "(the posh bit)"] PUZZLED BOY (rather drunk; you can't really see who he is in the dark, but he looks a bit like the famous Ken Chu): WHAT ARE WE DOING? HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET TO GLASGOW? WE CAN'T WALK THERE, IT'S MILES! EQUALLY PUZZLED GIRL: Eh? Ken, what are you talking about? We're *in* Glasgow. VOICEOVER: Clearly, these people are *very* disturbed. Watch "Picnics: The Truth!" tonight for more shocking revelations. Only on the Sinister News Network! [...and back to the studio...] SEBASTIAN (looking grave): Shocking indeed. Later on in the programme, we interview the list's most popular listee. But first, here's a few words from our sponsors. [fade to ad break] [A cheap-looking advert. Lots of static pictures flash up in the background, some of which look surprisingly like the people featured in the "shock! horror! picnics!" documentary] VOICEOVER (a girl again, but with a Scottish accent this time): Do *YOU* want to see pictures of real live listees?! Come to our website, and see photographs taken at the very latest Sinister Picnic held in the list's home country of Scotland! Marvel at images of Alasdair Cook, Belle The Grown-Up Dog, Sweetie, Sunset, Jeremy the Collapsing Australian, Calumn Shearer, the Quiff of the Year, Carey Lander, and the one, only, unforgettable KEN CHU! Yes, people, he really is more than just a myth. This offer is not available in the shops; instead, just go to http://www.btinternet.com/~wpsalt/picnic.html and marvel at the sights you see. Order your reprints now, folks! [and fade up the news bulletin again] SEBASTIAN (to Isobel): ...she found me in the shower with a tin of treacle, I had to say that ... [holds earpiece to ear] what? [looks at camera, then back at script, then back at the camera] Ho ho ho folks, I wonder how they manage to pronounce that "~" symbol so easily. But back to the news. Later in the program, we ask: Life Without Buildings. What would it really be like? ISOBEL: Also, we have another item in our series "No, we don't have any Korn", interviewing the staff of independent record shops around the world. Tonight, we talk to Gavin Dunbar of Avalanche Records in Glasgow. [Video clip. A tall, nice-but-hard-looking bloke with short blonde hair stands behind the counter of a record shop, of the sort found tucked away between the railway station and the back of the shopping centre.] GAVIN (for it is he): I filled that aisle entirely with New Order records, and the other aisle had nothing but Joy Division. Nobody noticed for three days. [...back in the studio...] SEBASTIAN: Looks riveting. Now, SNN's top reporter Oliver Sneezebiscuit recently spent three days with someone who is, according to an official Sinister Towers press release, possibly the most popular listee. ISOBEL: Apart from Princess Honey herself, of course. As you've probably guessed by now, we're talking about no ordinary listee here -- for one thing, she has six nipples! Intrepid Oliver went to the wilds of Dundee to talk to -- I'm sure you know who I mean -- Sinister's very own Belle The Kissing Dog. [Another "top reporter" who looks just like the other one. OK, imagine him looking a bit different if you want, but it's too much effort to be worthwhile, believe me. A lovely-looking dog (for photos, go back and read the AD BREAK) sits at his feet panting] SNEEZEBISCUIT: So, Belle, you're now one of the most well-known and popular subscribers to the list, and you've even been sillustrated twice. What would you say explains your sudden success? BELLE: [pant pant pant pant] SNEEZEBISCUIT: That's a very interesting philosophy on life you have there. Has the list affected that in any way? BELLE: [whine!] SNEEZEBISCUIT: Look, the girl said she'd give you a biscuit when I've finished asking you questions. I've heard that you've been the star of several picnics now. Is it true, though, that you bit someone at your most recent picnic? BELLE: Woof! SNEEZEBISCUIT: Yes, I'm sure she realised that you were only trying to play. You did bite her, though? BELLE: Woof woof! SNEEZEBISCUIT: Whether she was bleeding or not doesn't matter. And I *know* you haven't got rabies. Has your new-found celebrity affected you in any way? BELLE: [pant pant pant] SNEEZEBISCUIT: No, I don't have any crush votes either. BELLE: [pant pant whine pant] SNEEZEBISCUIT: No, I'm not giving you mine. By the way, can you give me your girl's email address? BELLE: Woof woof woof! SNEEZEBISCUIT: There's no need to be like that. She might like me if she got to know me. I think it's time to go back to the studio. SEBASTIAN: Thank you, Oliver. I'm sure we all learnt a lot from that. ISOBEL: Late news coming in: apparently, there are reports of a deranged American woman who has already infiltrated Europe, who is planning a visit to the UK very soon. She answers to the names of Stacey or Dahling, and has an unhealthy obsession with the Pernice Brothers. If you see her, do not approach her: she could be dangerous. We ask all our UK viewers to stay on their guard. SEBASTIAN: Well, that's all we have time for in this news bulletin. Stay tuned to SNN for Sinister News, on the hour, every hour. [Up comes the title music, and the lights go down. The presenters' microphones are still on though. Yes, I *know* it's an old joke] SEBASTIAN: So, are you up for that meal? ISOBEL: I told you. I'm not going out with any men who wear girls' underwear... SEBASTIAN: But... ISOBEL: ... unless they wear a nice skirt to go with it. And shave your legs too, while you're at it. SEBASTIAN: But I *do* shave my... SOUND ENGINEER: Guys! Sound's still on! SEBASTIAN: Oops. (if you're still here, thankyou. Yes, I *know* it was a bit of overkill to write all that silliness just to announce that there are new picnic photos on my website. But there are. And you should go and look at them.

Sinister: The Final Countdown
by Dirty Vicar 26 Sep '01

26 Sep '01

Hello everyone, It is time for another of my mails. I went to the Reindeer Section last Saturday, they were playing in Dublin's Ambassador Cinema, where I saw the Star Wars films when I was small. As it turned out I was the only person there who had paid to see them, the city being awash with free tickets on the day, complete strangers liable to approach you trying to them away. Audiences of freeloaders can often be rather tiresome, inclined to pour drink into themselves and talk loudly rather than pay attention, but thankfully these freeloaders seemed to be acutally reasonably into the music. Which was nice. The Section had had a lot to drink before playing, and many of them continued drinking through the show. Belfast Bobby enjoyed many swigs from his wine bottle, and Mr Snow Patrol kept telling us how drunk he was, which was very helpful. He also moaned repeatedly about his crackly monitor, like any of us gave two fiddlesticks. But when they actually played it was all very nice, a kind of big, beefed up Snow Patrol kind of sound. I might have to start thinking of the Patrol as actually being good. Meanwhile, Aberdeen Dave said: >Some of us like The Strokes and others don't. Could we please just agree to >that, and stop arguing over whether they're brilliant or awful. Pshaw say I. There is no room for deviance on Sinister. Through the magic of e-mail I was corresponding with fellow Dublin based Sinisterite Grainne, and we were wondering whether there has ever been a Dublin Sinister get together. I have my doubts as to whether there are enough Sinisterlisters for it not to all be a bit sad, but I've come up with a great potential thing for what we could do: get the DART to Bray and then parade menacingly up and down the windswept seafront, go to the amusements (to be amused) and then hit some ganky pub. I like it. So is anyone on for it? And does anyone fancy a Dublin Sinister meetup? party on.

Sinister: List mum message - please read
by Linda Kerr 26 Sep '01

26 Sep '01

Hi everyone List rules message!! There are a lot of new people on sinister and welcome to you all. I, in case you don't know, help Honey out with running the list, and we try to make it a good place to live. This is a mailing list for the band Belle and Sebastian and their fans, and is not only to talk about Belle and Sebastian, although it is nice when that happens. The list has been going for 4 years and has always had lovely posts from lovely people, and many people have made good friends here. However, one list rule is paramount. A list implodes when it starts to discuss itself, and it has always been a rule on sinister that there should be no discussion of list content on the list itself. If you have been on other lists which have gone bad, then you will appreciate why this is a good rule. If you have a problem with something on the list, mail Honey or myself and we will try to sort it out. If you don't like one particular topic, the best way to counteract this is to start another you are interested in. A second good rule is please remember there are nearly 1500 people on the list, and anything you write will not only be read by them but will also be kept in the archives for all eternity. Some time and effort put into a post will reap rewards...posts which say simply say "I agree" or "I disagree", quoting the above post, don't really make very interesting reading, if there are lots of them. Try to use the15 minutes Sir Cliff Richard or the Dalai Lama expect and the list will still be the lovely place it has always been. I always say in these cases, I am not getting at anyone in particular. Please don't feel that the finger is pointing to you. There has just been a wee trend towards list content/short posts recently. On a nice note, Honey says that the photo gallery is fixed and the archive (4 years worth) is fixed (good for checking if something has been done-to-death before, or if you really *did* say you liked Babylon Zoo in 1997), but there is still a problem with the search engine, but Honey has the plumbers in to look at it. Oh, and A Taste of Honey is on Carlton Cinema in the UK at 11pm. If you haven't seen it, it is a brilliant film, and worth paying for repeats of The Bill the rest of the time.

Sinister: poor little strokes
by brenda milton-bradley 26 Sep '01

26 Sep '01

c'mon people, cool it on the strokes already - what did they ever do to you anyway? i spent some time with the guys when they were in london and all five of them are just sweet, unassuming, YOUNG talented musicians who are incredibly surprised at all the press and crap that came their way in the uk. they didn't ask to be on the cover of every half-assed style rag in town. and they didn't make people pay £150 (or whatever it was) at to see their brief sweaty set at the heaven club. and the crowd were all wanky scensters and fashionistas who COULDN'T MOSH TO SAVE THEMSELVES, too. grr! i went for a 'wee' at the same time as meg matthews too. but she didn't offer me any 'blow'. phew. but back on track - don't slag bands off when it's your own fault if you believe everything you read in the first place. of course their short debut album isn't the greatest thing since _________ (you decide). but it ain't terrorvision either. personally i love julian's melancholy boom, i think the bass is amazing and that foxy fabricio is the cutest thing in pants EVER... (sigh). but that's just me. i still love you, love brenda ps. every white stripes album wees all over "is this it" from a great height. long may they bellow their fiery blues into the (media) abyss. amen. pps. meg white signed her drumstick for me at the 100 club! ppps. if you were at the white stripes gig at dingwalls, i was the girl who leapt on stage at the end and was physically removed by the (mean) bouncer, even as i brandished the used sticks wildly and triumphantly... sweatily. pppps. i, too, am just yr average thundercats ho. wanna see my snaps of me & kimya? xxx i am so ace i am so ace i am so ace i am so ace ha ha ------------------------------------------------------------ . +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: i can obey all of your rules and still be me
by Kirsten Kenyon 26 Sep '01

26 Sep '01

hmm....so my mom just called, pretty much telling me that she's sick of me and wants me to "get out." i don't really see what i've done wrong, seeing as i'm never even home when she's here and when i am she's not awake, but she sounded pissed off so i guess i'll take her advice. i have a feeling that my parents are experiencing growing frustration at the fact that they have no idea what i'm up to most of the time. and they're raging mad that i don't go to church with them. so.......anyone need a roommate? heh. at least this could be a lovely opportunity to get out of here. oooh oooh maybe it could be a contest, like a coloring contest and if you win, you get to have ME stay at your house and cook dinner and mow the lawn and i'd be a nice drinking buddy. umm...okay, maybe that's the booby prize. speaking of prizes....i was in a big wheel race at a halloween block party when i was five. my brother, 3, took first place and won a one-pound bag of m&ms, and i got really angry and jealous and took off running home in the dark and made it about two blocks before some big kids came around the corner and one of them ran over me with his bicycle. so i had to go stumbling back to the block party with bloody little knees and scraped little hands, crying and looking for my mommy. and my brother shared his m&ms. and even at that age, i felt like a complete idiot. i don't know. love to you all. 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.

Re: Sinister: Go and buy Dead Media by Hefner today
by Geoff Sheridan 26 Sep '01

26 Sep '01

>What you should do, though, is to buy Dead Media by Hefner. Don't. Please don't. Please. ****FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DON'T DO IT.**** As a fan of "Fidelity..." and "Breaking..." I'm just saying - save your money. Or if you must buy it, relieve me of the promo I bought a few days ago. Cost me £9. Yours for a fiver & an SAE. But I'm warning you, it's very bad indeed. Imagine, if you will, one of those greeting cards that plays a buzzy little version of "happy birthday". Amplify through a cheap hifi, remove all semblance of tune and loop continuously. You have, in a nutshell the first track. My favorite line? "We don't need this junk in our lives" Amen.
