Sinister: I love my fugly race car
by michelle ruiz 10 Jan '02

10 Jan '02

boo are you feeling ok? Well I hope so. I haven't been in the Sinister post vicinity in a very long time. Actually it was summer last time I posted. Absence makes the heart grow fonder though so I missed you. I am glad it's 2002, 2001 pretty much sucked. School has begun again. Nice to see my money evaporate into text that I probably won't end up using. Today in small group communication class we had to come up with "new" slang terms. Well I just discovered, as my friend brought up, the word "fugly." Fugly is combination of fucking + ugly. Oh, and apparently some people are saying "one" instead of goodbye now. I haven't heard of that, but it seems a bit stupid. um what else. Oh, I didn't know what a hoagie was until today too (a sub sammich). Is it me or does it seem like everyone is passing away. Yesterday it was the Wendy's man Dave Thomas, then today I find out the drummer from Feeder died earlier this week, as well as Esquivel- who I am particularly sad about. Though he led a good long life and brought much swigning music to those who listened. I think they all accomplished cool things in their lives, so that's something to be happy about. As for B&S content (while I remember to put some). I think I lost my beloved white/burgundy pin *sniff*. I also think Struan has NASCAR aspirations with his driving gloves. I'd like to see that racing car. It'd probably be painted plaid with sponsorship from Fruit of the Loom t-shirts. And I'm not really sure if I like the Reindeer Section. Reindeers are nice though :) and so are caffeinated drinks with chocolate (try it you will like it) one xx michelle xx __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: Sinister: Need a cat's name...
by JohnnyShred 10 Jan '02

The Naming of Cats The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter, It isn't just one of your holiday games; You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter When I tell you, a cat must have three different names. First of all, there's the name that the family use daily, Such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo, or James, Such as Victor or Jonathon, George or Bill Bailey- All of them sensible everyday names. There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter, Some for gentlemen, some for the dames: Such as Plato, Admetus, Electra, Demeter- But all of them sensible everyday names. But I tell you, a cat needs a name that's particular, A name that's peculiar, and more dignified, Else how can he keep up his tail perpendicular, Or spread out his whiskers, or cherish his pride? Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum, Such as Munkustrap, Quaxo, or Coricopat, Such as Bombalurina, or else Jellylorum- Names that never belong to more than one cat. But above and beyond there's still one name left over, And that is the name that you never will guess; The name that no human research can discover- But THE CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess. When you notice a cat in profound meditation, The reason, I tell you, is always the same: His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name: His ineffable effable Effanineffable Deep and inscrutable singular Name. -T.

Sinister: Need a cat's name...
by lepastie＠genie.co.uk 10 Jan '02

Hello. It's been a while. Isn't it cold? My nose is running badly. Anyway, to the point: I've taken a stray cat under my wing. Poor wee mite's got a sore tail. Anyway, he's a (neutered) tom and is about four years old. Tortoiseshell. Need a name. Just now, he's called Dale, cos me and my flatmate love Special Agent Dale Cooper from Twin Peaks. But I don't really *approve* of this name. Mind you, my flatmate refuses to call it Geddes. Any suggestions? *memories of pub toilets come flooding back* The other night, I sat in my room listening to every Belle & Sebastian record ever. It was nice. Im a bugger for leaving CD's out of their cases and never cat-a-logging cassettes. I pay the price. None of the bloody things would play properly. Last time I went mad at a Pulp CD cos it wouldn't play 'Lipgloss' properly. It's my own fault. I don't know why I do it. I'm silly. Oh, how I wish someone would give me a big wheelbarrow full of �10 notes. Even fivers would tickle my pickle. Due to lack of cash, I'm back on my porridge diet. I'd recommend it to anyone wanting to lose weight. Although you can go to bed feeling a little 'full'. I had a rotten Christmas. But a good New Year. Was dahn Sarth in old London town. Was grate fun. Got the bruises to prove it. God, it's cold. I had a well minging dream. Was in a tent pitched in a main street near where I live and this new cat had shit all over the sleeping bag and when I got out the tent, I ran to a payphone and Isobel Campbell was using the phone, but she was speaking in a Spanish accent. That's when I think she looks dead like the girl in that film, The Red Squirrel. Sorry Im rambling. I guess Im mailing to ask if there are any (indoor)picnics planned for Glasgow any time soon. I haven't seen JenOwl since that day outside C&A. And C&A isn't there anymore! Lovebites: good or bad? Discuss.... Love you all, some more than others. *big hug to all who deserve one* Pamela xxx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: two weeks of feeling guilty...two weeks of xmas merriment...
by Richard Cottyn 10 Jan '02

10 Jan '02

two weeks of drinking lots...two weeks of staying up all night. I don't think I got to do much reading of newspapers, or even river walkways, but the crimbo holidays are now well and truly over (Richard realises he really should have sent this a good few days ago). When you are off school, you expect to have loads of free time, and yet I didn't seem to have any! I think that Christmas and New Year got in the way really, and so I wake up for school 4 days ago and think "ah. I should have done this. And this. And what bout revision for this? Argh!") But what the hell. Belle and Sebastian somehow make things much much better. :) I think that you lot are a good/bad* influence on me (*delete as appropriate), as I have recently developed quite a taste for Ribena. (Cue cheers from the back) Yes it is true, no other drink tends to satisfy me at the moment-unless it contains alcohol of course. Ribena and alcohol?! Now there's a thought... Speaking of Ribena, I broke my berry (you know, the ones with the popping out eyes, you must have got one!) on New Years Eve. I was distraught! I think I'd applied a bit too much pressure, and one of his eyeballs made a squishy noise and, well, popped out. I managed to split up the gooey stuff and shove bits of it back in, but it isn't quite the same. I had to draw new eyeballs on it, but it loooks a bit crosseyed and, well, not quite all there. And if you understood that last paragraph, then congratulations! There was talk a good few weeks ago about end of year polls, and some people displayed a lack of interest and a "whats the point" attitude. Yet i must confess-I think they are great-I love seeing where my personal faves have got to (though I was disappointed not to see David Kitt's fantabulastic 'The Big Romance' not get rated in many). It's also good to look and think, "Ooo, NME have put Spiritualized in the top three, perhaps I ought to get that". Now I'm sure I had something else to say, and this will bother me for the rest of the evening now. Ah well. I'll leave this part to you then. Fill in the blanks with your own interesting comment (not that it has to be *that* interesting). _________ _____________ ___ __ _________ ___ ________________ ______ _____ ______ __ _______ _ ______ _________ ___ _______ ____ Have fun, I'm sure you will!

Sinister: an awkward post
by andrew thorpe 10 Jan '02

10 Jan '02

Hi sinister, I'm feeling rather guilty about sending this post - jammed packed with blatant list abuse, and even more so, seeing as I m a bit of a self confessed lurker. However things are getting quite desperate at this end. Hopefully Ill have manage to think up something thatll pass as content by the end of the letter. Ill try and not bore you with the details, but basically Im doing this Design course in college, and one section of the course is a study on an existing product, I have chosen to look at instruments - in particular the violin. Sounds quite dull, and well I dont want to lie... I admit that I usually leave things till the last minute, its a cliché, but I kind of agree that youll work better under a bit of pressure (well its a good excuse for being lazy, and forgetful before hand). Although its only recently dawned on me exactly how late Ive left it, and how much pressure Ive put myself under, Im starting to have regrets. But Im not posting to sinister to just whine. What I need is just a few comments from any violinists out there (Sarah??), or musicians of any sort, Im not really in the position to be picky. Im only looking for a few opinions, nothing too elaborate. So if there are any violinists/any old musicians out there wanting to complain about an instrument of their choice Id be chuffed to hear from you. Now to the content! Errrrr ? This may have been already mention, but if it hasnt I thought there might be a few of you that would be interested to hear that Mr Nick Drake is set too release a new lp! No, he hasnt done a Richey Edwards, and now decided to resurface. Apparently there are a few demos and bootlegs that have been kicking around for quite sometime, and now his Sister has just given permission for them to be released. At the moment the tracks are being re-mastered by his old producer, and the finish product is looking likely to be called Family Tree, but I have no idea when it will be coming out. There have also been a set of unseen photos discovered, which will no doubt be used, the whole thing sounds like its going to be pretty splendid. Well, I feel the greasy hand of time looming, Cheerio and thanks, Andy You think your God... Well, I've got to model myself after someone! ______________________________________________________________ For up-to-the-minute music news, reviews and specials visit http://www.nme.com Get free e-mail (anyname(a)nme.com) now at http://www.nmemail.com The sender of this e-mail is NOT an employee or associate of NME, nme.com or any other IPC magazine. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: lost in prague....
by Bipedalboy＠aol.com 10 Jan '02

10 Jan '02

yawning in a tiny internet cafe which is close to the astronomical clock (or if you prefer starmestska radnice s orlojem, for you czech's out there!) freezing my butt off wondering how i ended up here in the first place. i guess i wanted to travel while i was off from school and a japanese boy convinced me that nothing beats the cold weather in new york city than coming to the prague. actually im having a wonderful time out here, so if any of you sinister folk like to come and you should! actually, im writing to see if anyone on the sinister list is here in prague enjoying warm mulled wine and cheap beer. well, if you are here in the czech republic perhaps we should meet up. just in case no one knows who i am, i am a toy designer who is from brooklyn and right now i am craving for some yummy unagi(sigh).... well hope to hear from someone soon, i leave 1-15-02, see you soon! ciao, puis +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Looking for "The Little Prince" Franc Note!
by Jennifer Juniper 10 Jan '02

10 Jan '02

Hi all! I know it isn't really *about* belle and sebastian, but i was wondering since they have a good sized fan base in france, if anyone would be willing to part with a "le petit prince" franc note? i would of course pay for the value of the note in some form or another. (i.e trade) i know the currency isn't good after feb 15th, and i was hoping to have one since i remember seeing it in france many years ago. i could pull on all your heart strings by telling you that i am a third grade school teacher, and in the process of reading "the little prince" to my class, but i won't bore everyone with trite details. :o) basically, it would make 20 students and me really happy to get a "le petit prince" franc note before they are impossible to find. :o) if you are so inclined, please e-mail me directly at belle1974(a)yahoo.com merci, jennifer juniper :o) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Any Of You Want a Bit Of Irish In You?

Sinister: Conclusive Evidence: Struan and Jarvis Cocker are the same person! They _both_ have songs called "I love my..."
by Joe Vester 09 Jan '02

09 Jan '02

Ian offended me greatly as I take myself _very_ seriously and wear black and have dark hair and pale skin. But I spoil it by having freckles. Anyway, I said being a goth was like being a belle and sebastian fan which _some_ people felt was similar to be being gay in that "you can see where they're coming from and respect them for it, but you wouldn't want to do it yourself".... end goth bit Ian made me laugh, though. Although I think he should know that Saint Peter has stolen his e-mail address There was some talk before I went of how dissappointing the new Pulp album was but I feel it is necessary to oppose this motion, having got the said piece of plastic and aluminium with P U L P written on the cover for christmas. It is lovely and Jarvis has proved to be an even more brilliant person than i had possibly imagined. "Sunrise" is the best song of the year. Yes, including all the Belle and Sebby songs. Because all the ones this year were just not up to scratch really. Robin: LEGAL MAN RAAAAWWWWWQUWAES! I luv it 'special as it was the first B&S thing i ever bought Jason asked about transatlantic namesakes. I found that I there are a load of Vesters living in Salt Lake City, although I do actually have family in massateuchetts (spell?) or somewhere and some distant ancestors from Chicago. So christmas came and went, i got a tierack. yeah, i know, you're all jealous now. I ask you, what the hell do i need a tierack for? I mean, i never wear ties, except to school and I've lost my school tie over the holidays so what on eaaarrrth do i need a tierack for? [grumble grumble moan moan]. So, life goes on and school starts and I got to go to the london boat show because I do sailing as a sport which is a total doss and meant we got to avoid a WHOLE DAY OF SCHOOL. Hahhahahahahaha. And we wandered around the whole place, being given freebies and tons of rubbish by varying companies while we looked at £1.5million motor yauhts, which I still can't spell. I love Simon and Garfunkel! And Pulp! And Muse! And this obscure little band called Belle and Sebastian who you won't have heard of. I also wondered if the sinister world would like to take part in a sunflower growing competition. I don't know if this would meet with approval as I suppose that it just won't appeal to lots of you and also many of you won't have gardens but anybody who has a balcony on their flat (which is where I would grow mine) could enter. This may have been done before as you are all a very twee and imaginative lot so I apologise if that is the case as I have not checked the archives as I am EVIL. Sorry. A bientot mes petits legumes Joe P.S. Sorry to anyone I have offeneded by calling them a small vegtable P.P.S. I was called something today! guess what? Corduroy Boy. I'm sorry, Tom.

Sinister: Stuart Murdoch, Nice car!
by ~ boywiththearabstrap 09 Jan '02

09 Jan '02

It's petty, I know, but on the second of january, I was approaching the SECC (Glasgow, for anyone who doesnt ken, ye ken?)and who should come onto the roundabout at the junction before me? Mr Murdoch, driving the black Ford Granada GXL(or is it GLX) from the "Waking Up To Us" cover. Fantastic, what a splendid automobile! It could have done with a wee bit of a wash though. Loved the driving gloves as well. I was sitting nest to him at the lights at the casino at the bridge and he was gone.In this huge black beast of a car, into pollute the city centre. Tell me, was this the inspiration to the song "I Love My Car"? I know this sounds a bit sad, but, if anyone knows, please humour me. I'm in need of humour now that I've had to go back to work.
