Sinister: Like dildo in porn movies

Hello again, Two posts in the space of three days. If posting to sinister were some kind of profession that one has a manager for, my sinister manager would be complaining right now about my suffocating posting schedule. But as it is, there are song title puns to be made, and there are soon to be more, from the exciting new album! I'm filling myself up to the ears with anticipation right now, and especially now, that I hear there will be a song called 'Mornington Crescent'. Which I presume is either a reference to the place between Camden Town and Euston, or a reference to that game that references said place. Would it just be a recording of Stuart playing 'Mornington Crescent', with some jaunty guitar in the background? Who would win? And by what rule would victory have been achieved? ---------- Sod it, I'm going to try and guess the whole lot. Act Of The Apostle Part 1 - Something about how this man once forgot his own song lyrics 3 times, until some cock from the crowd shouts it out to remind him Another Sunny Day - Global Warming White Collar Boy - A boy in a juvenile detention centre who got gang raped by fellow inmates, and then given the pearl necklace The Blues Are Still Blue - How Chelsea Football Club hasn't really changed despite the influx of cash from Roman Abramovich Dress Up In You - Transvestism, and/or the fur trade. Sukie In The Graveyard - Taking his beloved Suzuki Vitara to the pound after it failed the MOT. We Are The Sleepyheads - Date rape Song For Sunshine - Ozone layer Funny Little Frog - Result of a drinking game (see previous post) To Be Myself Completely - Parody of Radiohead. Lyrics: That there, that is me. I am here, this is happening. *wailing* Act Of The Apostle Part 2 - About how this dude sold a Belle and Sebastian ticket on ebay, for £30. And then the computer hanged itself. For The Price Of A Cup Of A Tea - Oh I don't know. Isobel? Mornington Crescent - Recording of Sturan playing Mornington Crescent Are you excited?

Sinister: me and the gaydar
by kenneth.chu＠uclh.nhs.uk 16 Nov '05

16 Nov '05

Helloooo sinisters, Sorry I haven't been in touch lately, I had like, loads of things to talk about too but one thing led to another and I didn't get round to it. So, apparently, the new album is gonna be made all the way in LA, and involves writing in a circle with everyone in the band. I am secretly hoping that this was like a Tandem Writing kind of thing, or like the drinking game in which, in a circle in turn you have to add a word to the end of a sentence and then repeat it, and keep it making sense. I once played this game with some friends and we realised that as long as we keep adding adjectives to the end the game will never end. My ideal lyrics to "Crazy Little Frog" -------------------------------------- I saw a big white crazy cute mental automatic pneumatic demented cyclic psychotic insane loony harebrained nutty potty trained Frog Who was absurd and foolish and mentally deficient and likes nutty cheese with the wacky brain smelling like a Frog. <refrain> Frog, frog, frog, here it comes Frog, frog, frog, here it comes </refrain> And repeat. Honestly though. Am I the only one who is quite happy for the band now that they're hitting Proper big time? With LA studios and biography and a comic!! Plus filming for the BBC with colour coordinated fans! Also: The other day, I found "Wrapped up in books" "I'm a cuckoo" and "Step into my office, baby" at a video juke box inside an "It's A Scream!" pub, I sat down, and listened to some B+S while I polished off an orange crush Sourz Towers. It was good times. Things I would like to see next. 1) Chix-factor - a nationwide talent search with the winner becoming a new member of B+S. 2) Belle and Sebastian the TV series (but not as in LE belle et sebastien TV series with that dog thing) 3) Goalkeeper's revenge - a 'celebrity' 5-a-side football game for the PS2, featuring teams such as B+S, Mogwai, sigur ros. Plus unlockable hidden teams Slot Jockey and NME Reference: http://www.nodata.org/honey/sinister/mhonarc/200004/msg00136.html (notice email subject line!) ----------------------- More seriously now. Just want to send my condolences to Danny and all who knew Amy, I only knew her through the chatroom and also a brief encounter in Chicago before the B+S show and I already know from there now wonderful a person she was. I still remember the nice pressie I once got, and the transatlantic mixtape challenge. xxx Ken ********************************************************************** This email is confidential and intended solely for the person or entity to whom it is addressed.

Sinister: Amy
by Danny Farrell 13 Nov '05

13 Nov '05

Dear Sinister, What seems like a very long time ago i used to be d@nnypie on this list. I have spent about half an hour trying to find a way to word this well or good or whatever but i really can't find one so i guess this is it: Some of you may remember amyk*ns/amy l*ngcore. She was also on this list a time ago. She passed away on november 2nd. She died of coronary arterial atherosclerosis which as far as i know and have been told is where the arteries clog and harden, usually in a situation like this theillness leads on to a heart attack or some form of heart failure but with amy it was apparently just the atherosclerosis itself that killed her. Just four or five days before she passed she had really bad chest pains and went to the emergency room, they gave her an ekg, it showed that her heart was fine and they told her it must be acid reflux and sent her home. It obviously wasn't. I have been informed if they had done something called an echo-cardiogram they could have spotted the blockage in her arteries and perhaps could have performed surgery to fix it. That never happened but i have no idea how routine a test it is. Basically i don't know if the hospital was negligent and if this could or should have been prevented and i don't know if my hatred and anger towards them is justified or just because i need to be angry at something. Amy was my partner/fiancee and november the 2nd was exactly one year after i returned from spending the best 3 months of my life with her. A lot of her family and close friends from home believe in god, i am not one of them but if he does exist i really hate his sense of humour. We were getting married early spring of next year and she was moving from the united states so we could live together. I know no-one else knew amy in the same way i did, as far as i know very few people met her in person but i think the people who read her posts and chatted with her on #sinister liked her a great deal. I really don't know what to say about her except she was the most beautiful person i have ever met in every way possible. I wanted to write more about her and how wonderful a person she is but i just can't find words right now. I'm sure anyone who remembers her won't need me to tell them anyway. I am trying to put together a website archive of photo's of her. It might take quite a while because sometimes going through all the photo's is too painful to bear. It will happen at some point soon though. If anyone would like to see these just send me an e-mail and i will send you the website address as soon as it is completed. Please take care everyone, D@nnypie xoxo +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Re: Amy
by JAMES GILMER 13 Nov '05

13 Nov '05

Hi, I feel a bit odd writing this, as it's been several years since I was one the sinister list. I peek in a bit every once and a while, and I read Danny's post on the web archives and it was like getting punched in the gut. I'm afraid I didn't know Amy that well, but she was one of the Michigan Sinister people and one day back at the beginning of November I met Amy and her brother at a Quasi/Stereolab show in Detroit and had a fantastic time chatting with the two of them. They followed me to a diner on the way back to my home between Detroit and Grand Rapids and we stayed out a bit and had some food and laughed and had a generally great time. She later posted about it and said nice things about me. She was a charming young lady and her, her brother, and I had a great time laughing at each other and chatting for a time. We kept in touch with a few emails here and there and she always wanted to make it to one of the Great Lakes picnics we had. Then life got in the way and I left the list and lost track of her and here it is years later and Elise asks me if I've read the list lately and did I know an Amy. I can't even begin to imagine what Danny and her family are feeling now and I wouldn't begin to think that any words I had might make things easier on anyone, but Danny mentioned that he hadn't thought many people had met her and I just wanted to say that I had the pleasure and it was a lovely time and she was a lovely young lady with intelligence and energy and it's a poorer world without her. I'm glancing at other windows as I write this. One has Danny's post and the other has a post from Amy from the 4th of November, 2001 and she mentioned the concert and the diner and myself in passing and it makes me smile to think of it and to see her writing where she calls me Mr. Punk Rawk. I've been thinking of that concert and all the laughs I had with her brother and her all day, and I just wanted to say something, to tip my hat to the memory of a wonderful person. I wish I had more to say. I wish I had known her better so I could have something to say. I just wanted to say that once upon a time I had the pleasure of meeting two great people at a concert thanks to the sinister list and years later it breaks my heart to think that one of those lovely people have passed on. Like Danny I don't believe in any type of god, so I don't have any prayers for her, but I have memories and my thoughts are with Danny and Amy's family. Take care, Danny. To all the old sinster kids, cheers, and bless the lot of you. Jim. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

RE: Sinister: Cloaking device
by Sarah J Clarke 07 Nov '05

Other famous people who wore cloaks apart from Charlotte's friend G: - DOCTOR WHO (third incarnation innit) - Dracula (I once read a rubbish COMIC poss in BUNTY about a mysterious Dr. Ula who appeared in a small country village and then oh noes!! all this patients started dying. Blah blah some stuff, and then he dies for some reason, and the one girl who felt sorry the lonely doctor visits his gravestone to find out it reads DR. A.C ULA! Spooky eh) - Dumbledore from Harry Potter (possibly all the other wizardly little tykes too, I dunno) NOT Batfink, because he had WINGS of steel, not CLOAKS of steel. Come now. I support this Belle & Sebastian cloak wearing initiative. However, did not the OBSERVER FASHION RAG (end times alert #32498573297) state that it is actually "cloak/coat hybrids" that are de rigeur this season? I dunno, I only have two coats. One is grey and enormous, and the other is ummm, "camel" colour. It either makes me look cool and sophisticated or a bit like Arthur Daley. I have been practising saying 'goh-uh new moh-ur' in my best glottal stopped cockney accent just in case.

Sinister: Review of 'B&S: Just a Modern Rock Story'
by Ana Cristina Morais 04 Nov '05

04 Nov '05

hey everyone, found this today on http://www.bookslut.com/blog/ <<Anne Marson looks at Paul Whitelaw's Belle and Sebastian: Just a Modern Rock Story, and finds it interesting but way fanboyish. âIndie godâ: Itâs a term that Glaswegian arts writer Paul Whitelaw uses unashamedly in his new book, Belle and Sebastian: Just a Modern Rock Story. The biographer is clearly smitten with his subject â which is both blessing and curse. As its press demurely attests, Whitelawâs book is âTHE FIRST BIOGRAPHY OF BELLE AND SEBASTIAN â WRITTEN WITH THE BANDâS COOPERATION!â And that cooperation surely came courtesy of a couple of well-placed smooches.>> and here's the link to the full article: http://www.altweeklies.com/gyrobase/AltWeeklies/Story?oid=oid%3A152433 tchau, ana +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Cloaking device
by Charlotte Pache 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

*Extreme shallowness alert!* A rapid scan of recent emails I missed reveals a proved-to-be-controversial mail from Stuart asking for Sinister extras. My eye was caught by this line: "How about the odd cloak?" Well, exactly: how about the Odd Cloak? Clearly someone must have it somewhere in the back of their wardrobe. Stuart may, or may not (and I suspect the latter) be aware that cloaks are *everywhere* in the shops this season (yes, even in Hong Kong where it could hardly be described as cloak weather even now). Cloak is one of those words which, repeated to the point of nausea, becomes meaningless. My friend G, always a sartorial pioneer, used to sweep down the streets of Edinburgh in her cloak long before Alexander McQueen made them de rigeur again (and if you don't believe me, check out the fetching green one in his A/W 2005 collection here: http://www.alexandermcqueen.com - perhaps not quite the look that Stuart had in mind?) - oblivious to the dogs barking, old ladies choking and children crying in her wake.
