(disclaimer: i'm not a lush i just have groovy moments when it's -the must- the thing to do :-) last week i was briskly walking home in an inebriated state, and lo and behold...(duh duh DUH) The Meaning Of Life struck my brain!!! i told myself not to forget it so i could tell you all and as i stood in the shower the next morning i remembered i forgot!!! shame on me. but i did come upon another revelation... it's purely a work of Susan (really "God" but this is my name for him) that in our most inept state clarity can be found.. cheers and thumbs up to all the ideas that hide behind our sobriety! and i'm sure, as ken pointed out, that even if one has not touched the devil's juice, the alcohol in your brain can have the same effect over time....you too can acquire the meaning of life! it's the chuth (chu + truth, get it??...ahh yeah i'm gonna sit back down now..) sorry if i've used your name in vain, ken.. anyway, just to be even more ridiculous, i dreamt i worked at a pizza hut in china last night...and then all these rectangular-box- looking planes fell from the sky... there was somethin that had to do with strawberries and then i found a boy with a guitar.. he was cute :-) okay well, enough from me for now PEACE me new friends! ---Your Mountain Mama Sweetheart ps. belle n sebastian in chicago may 11!!!

Sinister: Weak in the presence of booty
by Mark Casarotto 13 Feb '02

13 Feb '02

Ho sinister (so true on so many levels), I've been a right old grump for the last 24 hours. Last night, on another interweb forum I went a bit mental, using RUDE WORDS and being bitchy and cynical, like, even more than normal. And today nothing's changed! Perhaps my home-made bolognese sauce has a spooky psychoactive effect. Presumably it's combining with my Italian side to bring out the fiery passionate nature that dwells deep within me... However, I'm not cross with sinister (except maybe Richard John Gillanders, who evidently thinks paragraphs are for poofs), so I thought I'd soother my fevered brow with a quick post. Sinister really is a place of epics these days! Not that this is a bad thing (well, subjectively it might be, should someone be banging on for ages, a bit like this, really), it's just strange. Did someone re-state the 15-minute rule when I wasn't looking? Something is buzzing in my bedroom. It might be my computer speaker, but it never used to do that. Does this mean it might explode? If so, will I feel pain? Hannah mentioned crushes (and spunk, but we'll gloss (ahem) over that). Can I have some please? No housework tips at the moment, although I did purchase some lovely bedding, picture frames and crockery yesterday. I am the dullest man in the world (David Moore, shut it). Ach. Fitba anyone?

Sinister: procrastination is futile!!
by Hannah Brown 13 Feb '02

13 Feb '02

yes!!!!! This is quite true but unfortunatly i am the procrastination queen and am making every effort to stop thinking about stuff as much as i do. I have to confess that the main reason i am here is to avoid doing work. I have a big folder of shitty drawings sitting in the library crying out to be turned into something amazing but i just can't face it. How was everyone's pancake day?? Mine always seems to be the most ridiculous day of the year. This time there were four of us huddled together in a kitchen the size of a box arguing about how to make up the mix. When we had agreed on the amounts we argued about what went in first and how thick it should be. Everyone was shouting and bumping into each other. We made them in the end and they were lovely. I have decided i am going to try and give up thinking for 40 days, obviously not completely just the sort of thinking that goes as follows: "hmmmmmmmmm, i wonder where i will be next year.hmmmmmmmm mmmmmmm, i remember when i was 8, things were different then hhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmm, i fancy a cup of tea,hhhmm" When i feel myself doing this i will bash myself on the head with the nearest hard object. I got another crush the other day, thanks to who ever it was, i have had two in the last few weeks which is quite exciting. I should also congratulate you all for not being thick like me and doing it wrong. On a bus journey to oxford street i saw two b&s related shops. One said Ken's Fish Bar and the other said ASM MUSIC and it had lots of guitars in the window. Not very interesting i know but it made me smile. Another thing that made me smile and feel all warm inside was at a party on friday. ( crap sentence structure i know). I was playing some guitar in a room full of people, there was some other music playing so i didnt think anyone was taking any notice. When i finished i looked up and there were all these faces smiling at me and everyone clapped. Can i repeat that word, CLAPPED. I was dead chuffed about that. Oh christ, i better go and stare at my drawings and hope they come to life a bit. love and jizz, hannahxx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Outside the chemist with a match and a ferret
by Steven M Rhodes 13 Feb '02

13 Feb '02

Installment 3 Living in Queensland, our family naturally made a few trips up to the Big Pineapple (Pineapples are one of Queensland's main agricultural resources so there's like this huge fibre glass pineapple at this theme park.) When I was younger. I really loved the big pineapple so Dad painted the words Golden Circle on our corrugated iron water tank and told me it was the Big Tinned Pineapple. It wasn't quite the same. Speaking of mailboxes, have you seen these mailboxes where underneath the mail slot, they have the word "MAIL" printed there? What is that for? Just incase the MAILPERSON (don't you love political correctness?) reads it and says "Oh damn it! I've just spent the whole day folding the letters up into paper airplanes and trying to glide them into open windows. I should have just been putting them in the little slot. Well there goes my whole day! Boy the guys back at the depo are going to have a field day. " My friends and I were laying down looking up at the clouds and I said "Hey, if you squint your eyes, that cloud kind of looks like bird shit coming straight for us." And as it turned out, it was quite lucky that we did squint our eyes. I don't like public speaking very much. To try and overcome your fears they tell you to imagine that the audience isn't wearing any clothes. But I was wondering, what would make me more nervous. The act of public speaking or hundreds of people staring at my erection? Because when it comes to naked women I've got a very fertile imagination. (...Ahh the warm embraces of tastelessness) Our TV isn't working at the moment. The only channel that works is the 24-hour snow report. And according to the broadcast, it's going to be one hell of a skiing season because it hasn't stopped snowing for the last week. And the snow is so strong that they've lost audio transmission. All you can here is static: Kssssshhhhhhh. (Ohh, the hilarity. I'll give you a moment to recover from your unbridled fits of laughter) .........and that oughta do it. I was watching TV and an commercial came on for one of those American lawyer dramas. Just pick any one, they're all the same. And the voiceover went: "A respected lawyer must decide whether to jeopardize her career or let a homicidal killer walk free." There's too much stress associated with those high profile jobs. I think more television dramas should be set in convenience stores. "Tonight Sharon Rogers must decide whether to take her lunch break now or in 15 minutes when her boss gets back from the shops." "Next week in an award winning episode, Sharon must decide whether to sell cigarettes to someone who may be below the legal age. This is must see television! Don't miss it!" Religion is supposed to be about happiness and well-being but have you ever noticed how much cursing is based on religion? Jesus Christ God in Heaven Holy shit Heaven's above Fucking hell Christ almighty For God's sake For heaven's sake God damn it ..Yeah. It sure to a while to compile that list....kind of unrewarding. Anyways, Good luck with that whole "life" thing. From Steven. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Belle and Sebastian Star At Stars Hollow
by Laura Llew 13 Feb '02

13 Feb '02

Evidently, people have been worried about me lately and -get this- it has NOTHING do with the fact I proposed to a homosexual male. (Oh and they're the ones worrying about me? Whatever! They don't even have concern for the right reasons. Pfffftttt.) Earlier tonight I was taping Gilmore Girls for the object of my affliction and -- as Lisa already mentioned -- there was a whole Belle and Sebastian subplot on it. I mean they just didn't play Legal Man there was a whole scene involving SUBTERFUGE and everything. Since I never have any B&S content, I've decided to describe this in such agonizing detail that no one will ever complain again about my posts when they wander off into freak tangents such as how my father once said that he wanted his funeral at Bristol Motor Speedway on race day so that way he can happily look down and think, "Wow all those people and they're even paying for parking." First a CAST OF CHARACTERS! Production Company: DOROTHY PARKER PRODUCTIONS (must mention the more important things first) RORY: Main teen character of the show. 16. She loves books and even brought along with her "The Portable Dorothy Parker" to her prom in case it got boring. Smart girl! LANE: Rorys best friend who has recently been grounded by her strict parents. Grounded in this case includes being taken out of school to be homeschooled for two weeks. She is itching for outside contact and even has a telescope at her bedroom window where she is tracking Rory's movement so she can call her whenever near a phone (though she only gets five minutes of phone time, except to the psalm a day hotline which has had the SAME psalm four days in a row which with the name of the line is BEARING FALSE WITNESS and a commandment so I'm surprised their little program didn't just burst into flames). MAMA LANE: Strict maternal parental unit. Once when Rory's house had termites, MamaLane yelled at Rory because she brought her termite-infested body to her store full of furniture and turned a HOSE onto her ignoring Rory's protests that she's not a carrier for the splinter choking critters. MICHEL: Pronounced Mee-shell. French. He works with Rory's mother where, from what I can tell, all they do is exchange witty banter in a hotel lobby. He is apathetic and sarcastic. Once at a club where the wait staff were all dressed up in drag Mae West asked what she could get him. Michel frenched, "My dignity back." KIRK: This is how much I love you people. I actually did research to find out his name - I just know him as the guy in the video store when Rory complains that there's a picture of a mostly naked girl on the cover of a video that is in plain view of small children. He wanted to know "Is she a blonde?" Ha. Ha. Ha. THE SETUP: In the diner, Rory is there with her mother trying to decide where to sit which is really an excuse to have a moment of witty dialogue since they'll sit where they always do and everyone knows it. So, they sit. Phone rings and the diner owner (Luke - the lovable GOOD LOOKING town grump. Oh my town has grumps too but they all in their sixties and smell of ben gay. I'd like to request a change of residence to a fictional town) answers and it's for Rory. Pan up to Lane who is in her bedroom with eye on telescope, ear to phone, and mouth a moving. Oh wait - I don't think this is where the Belle and Sebastian line comes in. Fast forward. Rory is walking down the sidewalk and the pay phone rings. Pan up to stalker Lane again which Rory, duly notes, is becoming kind of scary. Lane is urgent in her request (and speedy since she only has a limited amount of phone time before Gestapo mother quizzes her to see what the psalm of the day. "Where's your vision?" "You can't fool me, Lane. That's a proverb!"). Lane: "Belle and Sebastian's new single comes out today and I must have a copy of it. As an audio geek I have a responsibility." I'm misquoting because it has now been exactly 4 hours and 41 minutes since the show ended, my video tape didn't work so I have nothing to refresh my memory, and I worked ten hours today so I keep getting elements of the episode confused with things like the customer at the bookstore who I taught smutty Russian phrases to. Lane and Rory decide that they need to put a plan into action in order to get Lane the new Belle and Sebastian while she's under such strict supervision. ACTUAL SCENE OF SUBTERFUGE *Cue the playing of Legal Man* Lane and MamaLane come out of their house walking briskly, looking straight ahead, and full of purpose. Kirk stops them - an obvious distractor - and asks MamaLane when the store is open on a particular day. She rattles off store hours -- one for decent paying customers and another set for people who do things like loiter in the aisles and voted Democrat in the last election. Lane subtly holds her bag slightly open to her side. While MamaLane is busy channeling Barry Goldwater, a shrouded jogger drops the CD into Lane's bag. MamaLane says Amen and then hurries off with her daughter. Pan to jogger swooning on steps of the diner where Rory has been watching the entire thing. Jogger removes his faustus hood to reveal none other than Michel who is very French and very unhappy. The times had been changed from 9am to 10am (you discover this in a hurried phone call which I deleted from my retelling as I can't remember any of the snappy banter it entailed) but Michel didn't get the message so he had been running around the square for an hour. He's quite disgruntled with this even though Rory tells him he has good form. He says his cardiologist will be happy and after grabbing his heart dramatically and flailing a bit he sulks off. Legal Man is still playing but now it becomes louder and the scene ends. Lane has her CD! B&S played on my favorite show! Everybody cheers!

Sinister: They let Lisa go-go! (belle and sebby on american tv show)
by Lee & Lisa 13 Feb '02

13 Feb '02

Greetings and jumping up and down musically to all of you! Prepare yerselves, there's content (shock! h!O!R!R!O!R! gasp!) afoot... Tonight, on my half birthday mind you!, I was a'watchin' my very own guiltiest of pleasures, the Gilmore Girls (for non US listees or anyone really, it's a sitcom/drama about a 32 yr old single mom w/ a 16 yr old daughter. The daughter's best friend has amazing muscial taste, and the show in general has some of the most amazing and oblique references, musical and otherwise.). When what do my wondering ears happen to hear? Said best friend character (Lane's her name) requests the daughter Rory pick up the "new Belle and Sebastian single" since she's been severely grounded by her strict mama and can't venture out. Rory agrees, and they set up an elaborate ruse whereby the single will be dropped into Lane's bag. During the manuever to deliver the tape, "Legal Man" begins to play!! I was punching my fists in the air and cackling loudly. Happy dancing didst ensue! Last Saturday, my husband and I sojourned to the movie house (where those wacky motion pictures do play) and saw "Storytelling". I am not ashamed to say I whooped and clapped when "our" band's name came up during the credits. I'm afraid the whooping and clapping stopped there, though. I liked "welcome to the dollhouse". I can't abide "happiness" and I'm afraid storytelling falls on the continuum closer to the latter than the former, in terms of my enjoyment. I get annoyed when someone tries so hard to shock me. Sigh. Solondz (the director) might've been trying to say something, but he was barking up my tree rather too loudly. Although, I must say he has kickass taste in soundtrack music! :) I love you all dearly. Thank you for playing. get out of the office and into the sunshine... Lisa from Texas! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: a user and abuser of trucks (not really, it just sounds funny)
by Bron 13 Feb '02

13 Feb '02

First post. Meeting people at the door: Hi, nice to meet you! I'm Bronwyn. I go by Bron. I've read all about you people. Walking past the main hall: How did I find this party? Oh, well I have a dear friend who introduced me to Belle and Sebastian a little while ago, and well I've gotten to know them as well...my friend invited me here. I love what you've done with the place! Finding my way into the kitchen: Sure I'll have a little something to drink...have any Tigermilk? Stellar! I'll have some of that then! I meet Lisa: I know you're slightly mental, but I just wish I knew what was going on in your life... What's going on in my life? I'm coming from North Carolina and I don't know where I'm going. Being stuck in the Midwest for school isn't quite doing it for me. I was in China for a few months studying... yeah it was fly. ...Oh don't worry, Lisa, just because you're blind doesn't mean you can't see the world...look with your heart! ...Further into the evening (now drunk with melodies and lyrics, singing loudly---for I'm slightly shy at first, and then by the end I'm somewhat of a social butterfly): "I LOVE MY CAR!" ...oh wait, I don't have a car here at college---only a little pink bike that sounds like a crying rhinos auras when I hit the breaks... oh oh oh dear! (Then the boy with the crimped and overheated hair steps up and saves the day...I don't know how but he does... this is my story :-) The party keeps going but it's my bedtime. I read posts as if they were stories my mom used to read me when I was a young girl before falling asleep. Randomness is art. Inspiration's the drug I simply can't get enough of. To all you Sinisterines, I'm addicted to you. Rawk on. ---Your Mountain Mama Sweetheart X ps. I'll prolly be in northwestern Indiana for the summer (fingers crossed) so all y'all who wanna have a B&S get-together for the Midwest...count me in!

Sinister: Losing Keys is better than Losing Days or Friends
by Sunny set 12 Feb '02

12 Feb '02

I was standing outside on a rainy grey day with large yellow leaves falling all around me. Small pink leaves already lay on the ground. Rain was beginning to soak through my coat and onto my skin. I checked my pockets a couple of times before slamming the front door and committing myself to leaving the house. I often find myself checking and rechecking my pockets and purse. Partly because I have tendency to be a bit absent minded but mostly because I have a constant a feeling that Im missing something. The other day I was sitting on the train. Sat opposite me was a strange looking man who I had a feeling could be a little bit like me. I was looking out the window at a grey city. Watching as blood red burnt across the sky seeping into the darkest and greyest of clouds. I tried to hold the image in my head. Scared to forget the tiniest detail of the scene. Beautifully poignant in its fragility. And wondered about the thousands of peoples lives which I was passing. All these peoples lives which I was missing out on. Maybe thats why I check my pockets and purse religiously. Or maybe its just because Im very forgetful. Take Care Rachel PS Does anyone have spare London ticket they want to give/sell to me? _________________________________________________________________ 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: On the menu for today...
by Liz Daplyn 12 Feb '02

12 Feb '02

Cor! What a luvverly bunch of coconuts we all are! Especially people I has bin associating with this unnaturally extended weekend! I am *simply thrilled, honeys* to have been immortalised as a Classy Bird. It's true, goddammit and stuff. -- So anyway, after not _quite_ enough sleep on Friday night, I saddled me little red Peugot burro and headed out from non-sexy Newport on a tangential vector for sexy Milton Keynes, although why I'm not quite sure. Having only got lost once (a nice surprise indeed) I found myself eating nice instant noodles at the abode of Ken (He's Beyond The [Himself] Of Most People) Chu, and forthwith after a short contemplative pause we overloaded the poor burrito with our combined persons and struck out for (Right On) Brighton (Looks A Fright On Drinking All Night. On) where we eventually joined the Bri(ghton)tish S(inister)chool of M(asseev)otoring. In the pub, as has become a scarily expensive habit since. I was so young and innocent once, before ever I glimpsed the baldy pate of Mark (Wet, Stiff and Salty) Casarroto. -- Lots of cool (not to say fecking freezing) activities took place, including righteous booty being kicked at dodgems, and jaws were hauled up from the floor after witnessing Ken's Dazzling DDR Masterclass. I evidently stared offensively at Rob (Handsome) Brennan quite often, for which I don't think I apologised sufficiently (sorry), but it was unintentional and alcohol-fuelled. Luckily he didn't whup my ass for the temerity. Smut was smutted. Drunks were drunker and drunker. Peter (Get) Carter was nearly dead several times, or so we thought. Apologies to those present who I've not the brains to think up insulting middle names for. It's probably for the best, if you think about it really hard. Still, I love you all, unless I don't, in which case I'd still say I loved you right to your face like a scaredy-cat hypocrite. -- Sunday brought Gay Greasy Breakfasting Pleasure (TM), and oh, was it necessary. I followed the stupid trick of drinking loads with the stupider one of waking up after 4 hours' sleep and being unable to regain unconsciousness. Did it again Monday morning, grr. Still, minimalist music was bought and also listened to while wending the merry Oxonian way rather later after sewing up aching sides split with hysterical writhings due to someone taking an hilarious and unwanted paddle. Oh how we shrieked ever-so appealingly. -- Sexalicious Curry. -- Participated in crazy dancing action due to Steve (Ginger) Hewitt's Sussed extravaganza, sans James (Dancing Flapjack - conflation of "dancing hatchback" and "flat cap" - do you see my *genius*?) Danson Hatcher and Ken who went AWOL (indelicately) but WITH Cay (Sweet Sucker) McDermott and other gorgeous types. The Cellar *is* the essence of glamour, dahlinks. -- Not Enough Sleep -- Cap'n Liz's Guided (By Hungover Voices) Tour of Oxford, for the benefit of Ben (Nice Baps, Ma'am) Apps. Finally a use for stuff that clogs up my brainular pores unnecessarily - joy! -- Tea and Toast -- Pub & Pub & Pub: Mondaytime drinking - how decadent, innit. -- Eventually: back to The Cellar for keeping music live hijinks with a shoutily nervous but wonderful Cay, also the very good guitar stylings of Matt (Mediaeval Hair But In A Good Way) Willson. -- Not Enough Sleep -- Culture. But you don't want to hear about that. Also extremely nice sludgy green lentil soup and crusty bread. -- Phew! Marathon for Mammoths or wot! And faulty brain with goldfish memory has blanks in it, so fill 'em in yourselves. As you would anyway, you smutty lot. So it's over and out from me, but I'll not leave without promising to get proper sleep before posting again to relieve you of all this tosh. Liz :x ** I wish I could fly Right up to the sky But I can't - Yes you can! -No I can't. ** _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
