Sinister: Thats makes a whole lot of nonsense!
by Todd Johnson 21 Sep '01

21 Sep '01

Hello, Well I wrote a really short silly story last night. here it is. Not much to do with belle and Sebastian, but maybe inspired by there music? Its not really finished but I don�t have anymore ideas, then again there aren�t ideas in this story anyways. Good bye, have a nice day. The names of the characters in The Tale Times Green Table are as follows: Circle, Square, and Octagon. Circle�s last name is Strange, Square�s is Watermelon, and lastly Octagon�s last name is Mailbox. First scene: A day is about to bloom in the center of Missing Hearts. Circle is lounging in an ice cream parlor reading the bi-monthly issue of Travel, a magazine that divulges all the secret hide-a-ways of the universe that only the interested know of. He has been here for more than 26 minutes when a man molded in a different shape enters the shop. � Octagon enters the shop, walks across the dirty floor to the counter and glances at the name tag of the server. Octagon: Hello �Ice Cream Parlor Employee�, I�ll have last weeks special. Employee: 10 cents then. � Octagon realizes he has no money, he searches his pockets for some time hoping someone will see his situation and help him out. Circle is being his usual perceptive self today and notices what is happening. He sets down his magazine and does a sort of skip walk over to the two men, pulls out a dime and sets it on the counter. Circle: Don�t mention it, I love Ice Cream too. � When Circle turns around to head back to his seat he see the Devil run of with his magazine. Scratches his head for 3 seconds then says� Circle: The devil just stole my Travel magazine! � Circle stares at the sign above the stack of Travel magazines by the door, �FREE.� Octagon: Devils are illiterate. Circle: Oh, that�s right, I keep forgetting. Octagon: Lets trudge our way to the park to enjoy our ice cream as it melts in the sunny Sun. � With that the two are off to the park and there seems to be a new friendship blossoming. All thanks to a shared temptation in ice cream. THE END ===== -Sir Benjamin October Cylde __________________________________________________ Terrorist Attacks on U.S. - How can you help?

Sinister: if i could only shift the perception
by Kirstin Schreiber 21 Sep '01

21 Sep '01

you know when you have a freind whose opinion you value and you would lkke them to think well of you, but they seem so much more impressed by everyone else they know? well, i know, and golly jeepers does is make me sad. but eventually i won't care. i hope. i am also getting very afraid that i will never see B&S perfrom becasue i live in the wrong places. perhaps i will just walk around with tme on my headphones for a while while i am at the peace rally in washington DC on septmber 29. it'll remind me of a concert setting...maybe. anyone else who is appalled by US foreign policy and is concrned that operation "infinite justice" as they are calling it here in the states is just going to kill thousands of innocent cicilians and not really solve the problem anyway should come to this if they can. i'm looking forward to being around some sanity. kirstin _________________________________________________________________ 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.

Now admit it... We all read our own mails... (please say that isnt just me!!!) Just wanted to let you know that "Mm " is supposed to be "MUM" but with a wiggley Icelandic letter bit over the top of the "U". For some reason it turned into that.

Sinister: eyebrow notes
by Gordon 21 Sep '01

21 Sep '01

I laid in the heather on the old battlefield and my face acted, by doing nothing, as the landing platform for a dragonfly, and a few other buzzing things that approached from a variety of imagined distances and directions. I felt more useful than I have for quite a while. Then, later, I sat on the fallen tree... climbing upon it there is one bough which affords a relaxed position with a view of the Trossachs and the Carse; but the tree winds further into a thickly forrested area, in which pheasants scuttle and other birds on high branches coo mysteriously. I used to dream that owls lived here. Living in a constant ellipse says Jason do I still belong to sinester??? says Jason departure of the geezer, Peter Miller says the pinefox Or maybe they just appreciated our jiggling breasts. says girls bowling in Colorado One suspects that all these statements are connected somehow but not, as yet, sure exactly why. We do live in interesting times. What will happen next? Share prices plummet. I can't help but have a morbid fascination for all the drama. Elliptical breast juggling, Ken: get a grip on that! :) And where's a Monty Python video when you want one? I make do with old articles in *Punch* magazine compendiums by the likes of Miles Kington and Alan Coren and, of course, reading your posts. which reminds me: corin and i played with diamonds says Kirsten. Top lass, that girl, I reckon. 'Suppose Corin and the diamonds are sparkly too, if they're like their friend:) I'm running out of saying things, and fifteen minutes are.. up Just imagine all those fascinating gaps and silences! After all: your imagination is better than mine... Just one thing... I used to have large church candles on the mantlepiece, placed symmetrically over the architectural feature. Over a year, this symmetry dissembled, for although the room was nearly exactly square, and the candles placed equally either side of one of its faces, the patterns of soot veered to the right. In stasis, there was an equality but, over time, the draughts from the window to the left cast a different life on the design: changed the design. I just wanted to share the idea... I don't mean to proseltise. After all; such efforts would be useless, since we all worship Spike Milligan [or whoever]:) Gordon +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Stuarts staying in - sounds like a plan
by Easter House 21 Sep '01

21 Sep '01

Dear All, Long time no speak, so... I am sad. Very sad... I dont know why. But I do as well. I listened to fyhcywlap last night and it made me sad. It always makes me sad. It shouldn't. Mm makes me happy to listen to, yet the picture of them makes me sad to look at. Stuarts voice never fails to make me smile, but somehow on that album it only ever makes me frown. Its a strange thing, fyhcywlap. I think it is because it reminds me of Glasgow. And no other B&S do. I love Glasgow. London sucks. Do you know, on arrival in Glasgow a tramp hailed a cap for me, opened the door and wished me an enjoyable stay. I didnt even buy the big issue from him. I lied, and told him I already had one. Not true. The only experience I have ever had with a homeless person (much more PC) in London involved her chasing me down the Tottenham Court Road with a dog. True story. A club bouncer rescued me. Which was nice. So, I am sad, and I want an explanation. I had one of the best days of my life on Sunday. I went to the British Museum, then record shopping, then for drinks, then down to the Victoria Embankment (thats on the north bank of the river, for non London hipsters) and admired the truly beautiful view. (Why is it London is only ever beautiful at night?). All of this in the company of a very lovely man. A true sweetheart Maybe. I dont know him that well, but on first impressions he gets 10 out of 10. Loads of good gigs coming up, which makes London great again Perhaps. But its nothing on Glasgow. I would swap the thousands of ok bars and venues for the two FANTASTIC bars and couple of good venues Glasgow has. But I have no money. And I am a wet, so I cant do it on my own. I need a friend. Maybe this boy will be great and marry me and we can live there happy ever after I hear you cry. (Well, maybe some of you will whisper). No he is moving to Japan in 9 months, so there isnt really any point in pursuing him at all. And, I think the point is the surroundings shouldnt make you happy. You should be happy in yourself, and the settings will compliment this. I need to do some exercise, get really pissed and take some ecstasy. This is the answer And as the weekend has just arrived, my end-of-working-weeks blues are about to be destroyed. Until next Thursday night. Are Thursday nights happy in Glasgow?? Answers on a postcard. Go! Go out and celebrate last Mondays release of the new Spiritualised! Hurrah!!

Sinister: Superstar picnicers! Here we go......da,da,dada,dada....
by DansonHatcher＠aol.com 21 Sep '01

21 Sep '01

Hi guys and gals What an entertaining weekend I had just gone. It was great to get up to Edinburgh to see that crowd and to see the city again cos I used to live just a little way away in Rosyth when I was 8, this didn't help me find my way there mind with the train delayed by an hour or so. Not to worry, as when I did get there we had a good night, yeah?, well I did. ...Jeremy walking into the pavement...Jackanory (Andy-style).... ...meeting Belle....generous drink-buying people....the early morning bolanaise, ice-cream and Cointreau spectacular...and lot's of other stuff I shan't bore you with right now.... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Woke up Sunday morning to the dreamy sounds of Ken struming his guitar in the kitchen and me and Will just sat and listened for a while. It was very surreal in a 1970's, Goodbye Emmanuelle,soft focus, pale lit kind of way. But without the sexy bits you understand! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----- Then onwards darn-sarf in a 100mph BMW-baiting run to Manchester. Only stopping once at the most beautifull service station in the world. I mean, have you ever been to a service station with it's own souvenier shop? Manchester. When we got to the picnic it had pretty much been had and I'd got a really nasty headache and the grass was wet and I wanted to go to bed. But we went to the pub and all was well again. As it turned out they were a good crowd and an entertaining evening was had by all, and before I get a reputation I'd better set it straight that the bouncer kissing incident was a truth or dare forfeit, so don't you boys start inviting me round ! As was picnic mummy Cay's rendition of The state I'm in, which she had us all taken in by with her lovely voice. Lastly, ThanQ Ken for being the owner of the best car music this side of Pluto and for giving us all lifts to our various homes. Hey! if you've read this FAR you're an absolute STAR. James. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: I can't stand Ayn Rand and I'm "OK" with that......
by Jason McKinnon 20 Sep '01

20 Sep '01

"So Sinister.....we meet again." "I, locked in my fortress of solitude and you, blissfully wafting through my electronic window like the smell of a pie cooling on the sill...." "I'll pretend not to notice your smug look......" "Well..Sinister....let me tell you.....things have been quite less than boring here in the land of Fruits and Nuts (and other places it's worse I hear) ....but somehow I have managed not to enjoy it. " "You see, I used to revel in chaotic events....and now I get caught in it....panic attacks aside and indigestion and all that rot(gut). But Sinister, here in my mauve tower.....this tall phallus of finance....i sit, a person." "Just a person." One. "Sometimes, Sinister, I feel that the common thread of B and S (oh, you've heard of them!) and the culture that surround such illustrious illusions of music melancholia...is the focus on singularity and individuality. Generalities are for generals...(generally speaking). " "Sinister, what I am trying to say is that personal stories are an integral part of their vibe...like a good Bob Dylan song. " Characters. "When one thinks of it, the world is just 5 Billion diaries or.... if you look at it another way... it is one diary....." Living in a constant ellipse, The Pickle Prince P.S. "Sinister, give me a call sometime and we'll have a whiskey. I never get to see you now that you have that "new" job and you've hooked up with that significant other. " P.P.S. "Oh yeah, Sinister, for the love of God, don't take Ayn Rand at face value." _________________________________________________________________ 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: Like the Winter and the Morning
by steve peet 20 Sep '01

20 Sep '01

Hey Thought I'd pop by and say 'Hello' again. The nights are drawing in now and the air is starting to get chilly, I've worn my grown-up coat on the way to the train for the first time this season, over my new suit and new square shoes. I guess I'll be seeking out these cosy places some more now. I hope the respective picnics went well? Sorry I couldn't have been there in Manchester, but I, er, was a bit busy. I'm glad it all happened though - thanks to Cay, apparently you did a rather good job! Did you make it to Smile afterwards? I'm resisting downloading the new single... there's nothing like getting a nice shiny new CD, or even vinyl maybe, on the day of release. Mmm, 'day of release' - I like that. I had a team meeting with the department I'm about to move to the other day. (Rearrange those words to make a coherent sentance!). As part of the 'ice-breaker' we all had to take along a track that someehow signified our lives at the moment. I couldn't choose just one B&S track, much as I wanted to, so I took along an Aislers Set tune instead. I was a bit bothered though as Kylie faded in to the Moody Blues in to Marylyn Manson... till Jackie pulled out FYHCYWLAP and put on Waiting for the Moon to Rise! She's old enough to be my mum! I was well chuffed - I think I'm going to like working with them. Even Mags and her scary 'see you jimmy' accent. There, content and everything!
