Sinister: Important Message: Strange Fruit
by Petit Oiseau 24 Feb '02

24 Feb '02

Hi there This will mainly be of interest to those who were subscribers to FruitBowl, the Strange Fruit mailing list, and UK Sinister members, so apologies to those of you elsewhere. Over the weekend, someone logged into the Strange Fruit 'FruitBowl' moderator's Yahoo User ID and deleted all of the mailing lists and memberships. So FruitBowl (the Strange Fruit information service) was deleted (along with the charity Group, LondonIndieUSA). Yahoo have said that they cannot get anything back, so FruitBowl has lost all of its 600 members. So, if you used to be a member of FruitBowl, and wish to rejoin, or else if you were never a member and want to join anyway to get our newsletter and announcements, then you need to rejoin. Either do so through YahooGroups, searching for "fruit_bowl", or go to: www.strange-fruit.co.uk/subscribe/subscribe.htm At the above link you'll find a sign-up box and you can get back on to FruitBowl from there. Alternatively, just respond to me at this email address & we will add you to the list. Please forward this to anyone you think might be interested. Sincere apologies if this has inconvenienced anyone and thank-you to Sinister for posting this message. Thanks for your support, Julia on behalf of Strange Fruit _________________________________________________________________ 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.

Sinister: 'CHU' are 'KEN'stantl'Y' updating your hit 'P'arade of your 10 biggest puns...
by Richard Cottyn 24 Feb '02

24 Feb '02

I'm quite impressed with this pun actually. I've been sat at my computer for the last week and a half thinking it up, with only a fake Jimmy White autograph and a piece of green plastic shaped just like Stuart Murdoch (b&s content!) to keep me company. Looking through recent sinister posts it is quite surprising how many possible puns there are to be made out of the lovely Mr Chu's name. I bet Stuart Murdoch and co do it on purpose to amuse us. I bet in their next album they will try to include a ken pun in every track. Try and find some b&s puns for my name! I gave up after a fw hours. I must tell you this extremely funny story. Well, it really wasn't that funny i'm sure for the person/people involved, but I laughed for a long time, even though I perhaps shouldn't have! Apparently it is tradition for a bride to eat a quails egg on the morning of her wedding day. Well anyway, a girl I know did this and got salmonella from the said egg. She puked as she got to the church and started suffering from a nasty case of diarrhoea. The wedding had to be called off, as did the honeymoon and everything else. All because of a quails egg. So, ladies, the moral of the story. If you ever get married, DO NOT eat a quails egg on the morning of your wedding day.Oh, and for those who wish to know, she did get married in the end :) Can I just boast about my magnificent pun one more time before I end this post?! Thanks! *boast* *boast* etc...

Sinister: p.s.
by sophia katrina 24 Feb '02

24 Feb '02

day two of a hideous hangover... on friday night i picked up the phone and called london. no, said the woman, we don't have you on our list of interviewees. thanks for checking, i said. i'm sorry, she said, and i'm sure she was. i wanted to say that it was the best news i'd heard all day but she might have taken it badly. i put on my best 60s op art skirt and diamante earrings and left for the party. outside, the wind was blowing off the bay and i could taste salt in my mouth. i could smell rain. at the tram stop a cricket was singing very loudly. near the plant where the cricket was hiding were two syringes. they had been plunged considerately into the earth so no one would prick their fingers on them. they looked as though they were about to flower. i feel as though i've been granted a stay of execution. an absolution. sophia X _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: who loves irony?
by Joey V Lawton 24 Feb '02

24 Feb '02

i got tickets to see Belle and Sebastian on May 4th at the Orpheum and they're actually really good seats. hooray for me and everything. and an ultimate bit of irony: it's the same night as my junior prom. i haven't been to a school dance in years, but i actually was planning on going to this one. it's not too bad for me, but i'm going to the show with my friend spencer who's been dating this girl for a year who's actually really excited about going to the prom. it's like some episode of "growing pains" -joey ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Sinister: stuart dancing on danish tapdancetables..
by Astrid Wiezell 23 Feb '02

23 Feb '02

Heeeey. It´s been a while, to quote one of the most tedious songs in history. I haven´t read like the last 200 posts because of my lack of internet at home. So I might have to delete all that because there´s no way I´ll be able to read them. Sorry... DREAM!--NOT TRUE!--DREAM!--NOT TRUE! Had a dream about the B&S-concert I`m going to. It was at a large arena, almost no one there so I had a great view. Stuart comes out with the rest of the Belles. He gets this table up on stage and then he declares that it is, in fact, a danish tapdancetable, which he´ll tapdance on. He steps up on it. And he tapdance on it. Yes, a quite remarkable sight. The other belles are behind him, standing in a square jumping up and down and tapdancing. Then he jumped off the stage and down to the audience. Everybody starts grabbing him. I get him up, give him a kiss on his cheek and say "You´ll have to get back up there, or you´ll be killed" and then I help him up. I woke up. One of the strangest dreams I´ve ever had.. _________________________________________s_p_r_a_y_ Här börjar Internet!

The other belles are behind him, standing in a square jumping up and down and clapping their hands. Then he jumped off the stage and down to the audience. Everybody starts grabbing him. I get him up, give him a kiss on the cheek and say "You´ll have to get back up there, or you´ll be killed" and then I help him up. I woke up. One of the strangest dreams I´ve ever had.. But somehow, it was in that exact moment that I realised that i´m actually going to *See* them. It still makes me go all dizzy and i can´t really understand it until I see them standing there. Whilst waiting for B&S to come here, I went to see Ryan Adams, he was really great, played for three hours, and I got his pick and the setlist so I am really happy about that. Soon enough it´s time for the strokes as well. that´ll be really nice. yeah. I´m actually listening to the Cure right now. it was ages ago that i listened to them the last time. I´ve only got wish but that´s enough for me. Yesterday it was a horrible snowstorm here. It started around nine in the morning. During my french class when I was doing a test one of the windows blew in, it didn´t fall down but I got snow on my neck which was awful, for the rest of the test. When I walked home that day, it was dark and I almost fell over because it was blowing so hard. It was so horrible! One of the pieces of my headphones actually BLEW OUT OF MY EAR. The wind sort of got hold of the wire. I thought I was going to die or something, it was so scary. Some people have been getting distant to me lately. Well. One person actually. I guess I´m sort of being dumped by him. We´re not a couple, but you know what I mean. As friends he´s dumping me. Or whatever. He just stays out of my life and I think he made it clear that "it´s over". Whatever man. I can´t think clearly now, so just ignore this part of my post. Now though, I´m on holiday. I´ve got something that´s called Sports Vacation, i.e we don´t have to go to school for a whole week, *so* nice! I´m going to Finland via a cruise, with family though, but it´ll be alright. I love Helsinki. Kiasma is fantastic, last year me and my dad went to this exhibition of young finnish artists called Revolutions on Request, it was brilliant! If anyone knows more about them, mail me off-list. I´m getting to know some nice boys finally. At the youth club there are horrible people that like, listens to Shaggy and Shakira and awful crapmusic, but there are some other boys there and they´re so nice, and sweet. And one of them does not look too bad, hehehe. He´s a year younger, but this time I´m thinking "fuck it" instead of dwelling it for ages. We´re all going to Gothenburg for a couple of days in May with the youth club, as thanks because we work at the rocknights and stuff. It´s the boy I like, his friend that´s probably one of the funniest people I know, a pair of twins and probably three girl-friends of mine. I don´t have any friends that are boys. I dunno why. I´m just so shy around boys. But these I can talk to so I feel really relaxed around them. They´ve been to the youth club for ages so we all recognise each other. I saw Billy Elliot for the third time yesterday. I cried. Quelle surprise. I´m going to see Bridget Jones diary tonight. I´m gonna see Lord of the Rings for the third time soon. Nerd, me? Now, where did you get that kind of idea? Ah, whatever. I´m at my grandparents again, so I have to go home now before it gets too dark outside and I get too paranoid. Take care all of you.

Sinister: law and order is on tv about 20 times a day here.
by Andrea Kittenmouse 23 Feb '02

23 Feb '02

hi there, this message will be randomly ordered. 1. i wonder if anyone on the list is from manchester or oldham? is there a good art school there? 2. is there anyone on the list who goes to glasgow school of art? 3. i found a website that reviewed all of belle and sebastian's releases. they said that legal man was not very good. well, try listening to it while walking in the city on the first sunny day of winter, and maybe you'll change your mind. 4. also, is anyone here going to the film festival in edinburgh this summer? nighty night, andrea _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: it's nothing but a modern email
by Bron 23 Feb '02

23 Feb '02

the sun was more than i could have gathered the way it poured down on me like a drunken lover if it had kissed me any harder with its rays i think i would have drowned in sheer delight for the sun is the light of my life and the song it sings makes me dance it knows without its presence i cannot smile it knows that when the clouds appear i tend to disappear... a walk in the town sounds splendid to take a camera would be even jollier i just need the sun by my side of course silliness gets the best of me: it can only crouch above this body---which by coincidence contains my soul it takes my curled two dimensional being and straightens my fold breathes through these tender nostrils the urgency with which i must live a big hot chocolate swell of love the sun melts into this mouth into this stomach into this system that just won't let go my grin can't let go of my face for a cage is worse than no home at all but it's chill and all good, it's groovy it rocks my boat because the sun still gets through the bars because when the shadows shift it's like the sun just bounces around like a good song does around a beat it's a beautiful time to live no one is perfect, so why cry why love in vain? this is OUR day this is the light of our life rock and roll. ---your mountain mama sweetheart ***Sometimes you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right*** ---Jerry. 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.

Sinister: sinister: i like you mostly late at night..
by Histrianic＠aol.com 23 Feb '02

23 Feb '02

*doo doo doo days like television days like television..* *should i wait for you, come on, should i..* yes, I've been listening an incredible amount to life without buildings, in particular, the leanover. which is one hell of a song. it's great. does anyone know the lyrics? sue thompkins is great. she's like.. the female mark e. smith. it was funny, because i was reading an interview they did with sleaze a while back and they were talking about how they were so disappointed when people compared her to random bands when she sounded more like mark e. smith or patti smith than anything else. and the first thing i thought when i heard life without buildings was 'female mark e. smith! patti smith!'. so that was a kind of neat little coincidence that perked up my life. um, there was a point to this.. oh yes. *cough cough* ok, i'm going down to boston tomorrow, and i was wondering if there were any good record shops down there. i really want some good eighties and old obscure records. and singles. colored vinyl... *daydreams* another thing: i'm going down to boston for the belle and sebastian concert! is there going to be a sinister gathering of sorts? oh! that would be so twee! i would be so excited i would pee! (in my pants. or dress.) well, i won't, but i would be excited enough.. so if any listees would do me the kind favor of returning my calls (of plea) and telling me where the good record shops are, it would be most greatly appreciated. i'm going to go see belle and sebastian! after years of waiting! life is good... cheers h +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
