Sinister: oh i want a personal masseur named Sven or Bjorn
by blink＠inexpress.net 05 Apr '98

Hello you cuties!! ow ow i just spent many hours doing odd dance now i am so sore,Sven!!! Bjorrrn!!rub sad songs n movies blah blah blah: Y'all are a teary bunch..is better than feelign nothing though...the last time i can remember crying at a movie,REALLY crying I mean even the second time was the Lion King,when Simba's father died..although i get misty eyed in Fiddler ON THe Roof..never actually CRY though...oh i do recall crying ONCE this year though,i waited till i was all alone and i jsut start cry and cry and cry and i put on a cd..and at the time 'happy endings' by Pulp made me cry even more...and that one line 'and do you thinks it's so easy to find somebody who is just your kind?' it's odd,i guess cos i don't really cry when i cry i want to feel even more sad..but then I heard myself crying and i sounded so pathetic I started laughing! I get misty-eyed from ANGER too...a lot of songs make me angry and yeah lets fight!! oh i love love the wild ones by suede make me sad..with or without you by u2 (don't laugh!!) Actually,I love almost all of Suede's videos..you know what else i like..The Never Ending Story,i have a craving to watch that movie.... actually soem of the saddest moments for me in song are not lyrics but when (Brett in particular) goes oh woah ho ho and sounds like that..oh and 'sleeping pills' the lines where he sings 'you're a water sign i'm an air sign gone gone to valium,can you get me some?' oh SIIGH...don't you just want to be half asleep with Brett ANderson stroking your head when you hear that?Many songs i don't feel exactly sadness but similar..i don't know the word to describe 'disaffected youth' you know,some empty (except for one mattress) London apartment with a boy in a rumpled shirt lying passed out on the florr clutching an empty liquor bottle? Oh and 'sleep' and 'over our bodies' by the longpigs nice n sad romantic... Happy songs? Ummmm... 'wake up boo!' by the boo radleys and 'the chemistry between us' by suede...whenever i hear that song i feel like swinging off a vines with Brett Anderson into a lake...on grassy hills... 15-year olds...BAHHH! I see too many of them,I am not 28 but i would like to be the leader of a bunch of 28 year old boys....ummm..why? Well i don't really have a solid reason but wow can they kiss... Actually THAT would be a challenge for me to convert my BOY friends (all my girl friends automatically like B&S..so it's no challenge) but da boyz...i have this one bud,whos openminded but he is too techno..but HE MIGHT..so i should try,and what do i get whenI try to be nice? 'here listen to this!' 'uhh uhhh this stinks,what's with this guys voice' So i slammed him into the locker.. Yay,I got Truckload of Trouble by Pastels and THis Is Hardcore by Pulp today... OH and there are some Yo La Tengo fans here right? Well there is a great new section at the record store of them...but which ones to get,eep!! I saw 'wild things' today..blechhh...I can't stand Kevin Bacon!! It should've been Kevin Spacey! (did you know he is dating Sheryl Crow...Grrrr! Blechhhhhhhhhhhhh!! Oh I am having a Brett Anderson moment,he is so lovely.I think he would make a good teddy bear..why do they waste their time making Hanson barbies when they could make Brett teddys..I had a teddy bear once,but I lost it in Quebec City and I've never like another teddy bear since... Oh I had a list member dream... (just their name cos I don't know what he looks like) anyways,this one friend of mine,she was telling me about this wild and wonderful one night stand she had in London "oh yeah we went out and got everthign pierced and then spent the night together" me:"oh who was this?" her:"his name was tag" weird baby,i say weird.... smoooch, genevieve ;) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Casting Call for Canadians
by minigo 04 Apr '98

04 Apr '98

Right! After a few weeks now of wondering how many of us there actually are, I cannot ignore Sarah's plea in good conscience. ;-) Here's your official chance to come out of the woodwork so that we can try to have a Sinister picnic of our own here in Toronto! The plan: a day at Centre Island. Starting off with a refreshing ferry ride from the docks, you will enjoy such sundries as the Log Ride, the Hedge Maze and the Scrambler-- an indoor roundabout ride where they will play musical requests, if you ask nicely. We'll end the day with ice cream at Greg's and take a walk in Philosopher's Walk on the U of T campus... ...Or something like that! I'm also partial to bowling, as I scheduled a similar event in San Francisco for the indiepop list, which was quite a success. There's nothing like scoring a few strikes to break the ice! :) Genevieve, I know you're near Ottawa, but we could try to schedule it around your upcoming trip to Toronto. All part of my promise to kidnap you away from that burrito boy you mentioned on IRC, bien sur. Please email me privately if you're interested, and I'll start trying to work something out. maple syrup kisses, elisa xx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: i paid the price for gravity
by e. kraft 04 Apr '98

04 Apr '98

this new thread about party music is timely, as i commandeered the stereo at a shindig last night and blasted the spot with the glorious sounds of 'Lazy Line Painter Jane.' generally, it was well received, and bip-bopping commenced. playing Belle & Sebastian in crowded places has become sort of akin to a mating call for me (except without the sexual bit)--generally, i've found that anyone who likes B&S is going to be a person worth knowing. after LLPJ i threw in yo la tengo's latest album; this was somewhat less well-received (the philistines!) and signalled the end of my brief stint as party dj; a glorious stint indeed, while it lasted. speaking of YLT, i'm listening to the new Dump album (_a plea for tenderness_) right now, which is fabulous. (Dump, in case you didn't know, is a one-man band comprising james mcnew, the bassist from yo la tengo.) if you like b&s and yo la tengo, chances are you'll like Dump--i think it's the the area of overlap in the venn diagram that is my pop sensibility, which i picture as one big circle representing B&S and another big'un for YLT. oh, what am i on about today? .erik ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: gregory's girl and more of my ramblings
by Alan Prior 04 Apr '98

04 Apr '98

Yay! Just found 'Gregory's Girl' video, so i'm off to watch it again. then maybe 'Dazed & Confused' again. so many ways of avoiding revision/homework... maybe i'll clean the house later. or make up more compilation tapes. or alphabetise my cds. or re-paint my nails cos i'd have to leave them for a couple of hours at least to make sure they didn't get marked... how come saturday nights always suicide television? Probably cos every one else has a life and is out doing stufff. Ah, well, as Stuart M (i think) said, "life's hard when you're a sixteen year old in the middle of nowhere" Or words to that effect, anyway... (i'm not 16 anymore either, but that's not the point...) anyhoo, have a nice night... love, debbie (wishing she had some popcorn to go with the video...) xxx. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: some of my best friends are 3 minutes long...

Message text written by Sarah >heehee! Debbie oh my loverly girl - i love you! ANOTHER MANICS FAN ON SINISTER! yay de day! we can convert those Keiths of this world inot the miriad Pop joys of The Holy Bible and the Intense Humming Of Evil...mmm, or perhaps somethng else eh? :) And buy the Flares, the bernad butler album will be cheaper layter.< Aw, honey...i love you too. I think, though, that it would be impossible to convert anyone at this late stage. Which is a shame, obviously...everyone i know slags me off about MSP, philistines...heehee. parteeees; i always try and kill any BillyOceanDullerScene albums that infiltrate ant* parties i go to. They must be stopped! Same goes for Satan's Own Pub Band, Kula Shaker... Blur's 'Song 2' always gets played at least 5 times a night, as does stuff by 'The Bloodhound Gang' as they all find it very funnee... I can never get manics, joy division, B&S, or suede played, though. Actually, i can never get anything played cus as soon as anyone sees me approaching the cd player they jump in front of it and stop me. Apparently i have 'bad taste' in music. Bah. What would they know... *yes, i know i've written 'ant' when it should have been 'any', but it made me laugh when i saw what i'd done so i've left it. Today's purchases; 'The Clash'- the clash, 'I'm Your Man'- Leonard Cohen' (both vinyl, yum!), 'Exile in Guyville'- Liz Phair (playing just now), 'Psycocandy'- JAMC, 'Maria Callous'- Gretschen Hofner (cos it was only 1.99, so doesn't matter if it's rubbish...) It's ok, though, cos they were all really cheap from Embra's Avalanche and i was trying to cheer myself up cos today's been really rubbish (sorry John! Again) I forgot to but the flares, though. Bah. Maybe they'll have some on monday in glasgow... love and sorrow, debbie xxx "In sweet music is such art, Killing care and grief of heart" ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: gregorys girl and albums you play at paaartys.
by Sarah 04 Apr '98

04 Apr '98

Mr Peter Miller - the Mr Tim Hopkins luuver wrote dis... <<< Am I the only one hoping that B&S rock out soon and provide us with a crunching melodic rock anthem laden album?>> NO!!!! You're NOT! current threads - the sleaze quiz, i couldn't be arsed to do it, and skimmed it. that means i am a completely not sleazy but very lazy arse. yipee! *giggles* *a lot* heehee! Debbie oh my loverly girl - i love you! ANOTHER MANICS FAN ON SINISTER! yay de day! we can convert those Keiths of this world inot the miriad Pop joys of The Holy Bible and the Intense Humming Of Evil...mmm, or perhaps somethng else eh? :) And buy the Flares, the bernad butler album will be cheaper layter. A Mr Man who's name i have forgotten, sorry sorry! wrote.. <<The other one that always gets me is "Atmosphere" by Joy Division............just because.>> that is perhps one of my favourite songs, but it doesn't make me cry, it just makes me feel...oh so lovely and beautiful and away from everything... He also wrote about Gregorys Girl as *the* B&S movie. I feel pleased now cos i *know* a film that the list is talking about! GG was spolied for a lot of youth I think, by making you watch it at school, as it makes you think "aw, the schools like it so it must be boring poo". Its a shame, as I've never managed to see it the whole way through, just the start whn they played football, and thats all they ever showed us. we wer made to watch it when it was raining at break, and we had to stay in the classrooms or something.....or the teacher just couldnt' be arsed teaching.... And as I am now an ol fogey, SIXTEEN! jong wrote that he went to see Button Moon live. So did my frieend Loosey at the charter theatre, and its strange because we were discussing that last night, getting the picture of how FUN FILLED it is round here?! As nobody wanted to write about happy songs, can we write about albums that are ALWAYS played at parties? We must be a freakish group, because at EVERY party i've been to this year, we have listened to OK Computer and Feeder. I can't put B&S on, people would just laugh and maim the CD - then I would have to kill them. Who saw the A&J show with Louise`s guide to going to parties? hehehehehe hehehehehhehheheehehee! and the internet thing was SO TRUE! anyways... I put on Joy Division at someone house one night, and they slagged off Love will tear us apart and Atmosphere and Isolation and I got SOOOO annoyed and UPSET about it that i was really really surprised that I cared so much about Joy Division. I found two B&S 7" singles t'other day - and me mate saw a 12" of 3...6..9... but I resisted the urge to be completeist as they have no extra songs, and i bought Delgados and Mansun for a friend instead. AND....Star trekkin' by da Firm, which i found in da hospic shop for 25 pennies. ra! if anybody would like to crucify me for not being intenseley intense enoough, you'll have to catch me first! and after being insulted on the Manics list bout my signtaure I have removed the address, i hope nothing else about my email details bothers you. *spits* I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!!!!

Sinister: It only hurts when you touch it
by mctag＠mcmail.com 04 Apr '98

Dear Gentle Sensitive Children, Three things: Firstly to Swedes, and other nationalities in the area, I am now not DJing at K next Saturday, but at Folkshammet (I think). Apparently the neighbours complained about the noise. Squares. But you should still come. Secondly in response to Dickon's praise of "Gregory's Girl", well, like any groovy fucker, it is my favourite film of all time, at least on days when it isn't "Blue Velevet", "My Life as a dog" or "Time of the Gypsies". According to yesterday's Guardian Bill Forsyth is making a sequel, set 20 years or so on. I can't decide if this is a good thing or not. Especially since Clare Grogan has blown her credibility entirely by shagging Ian Beale on "EastEnders". Thirdly, did anyone hear the story about an Iraqi newspaper who ran a story on Wednesday about the UN lifting all sanctions on Iraq? Only to plaster "APRIL FOOL" all over the Thursday issue. Is that funny or am I weird? Love Tag xx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: don't read this if you've had your sense of humour surgically removed.
by susannah 04 Apr '98

Dear gentle readers. I mean you lot are worse than Mary Whitehouse. Anyway, as you know, I *have* been lurking on the catatonia mailing list, and apart from the following extract, it is generally boring and bland, with no hint of anal sex whatsoever, which I know, that you all love, really, even though you continue to deny it. So here it is, and its in welsh. Dw i'n edrych am eiriau/lyrigs ar gyfer BELLE AND SEBASTIAN. Dw i wedi colli clawr yr albym. A fyddai rhywun yn digon garedig i ddanfon y lyrigs imi? Dw i ddim yn sleazy mailing list, ond dydw i ddim yn elwa o'r peth. Diolch ymlaen llaw am Stuart Murdoch is a nonce. Gyda llaw, welodd unrhywun yma y Gig yng Nghaerdydd??? Gre+t. :) Hwyl, Basically, can anyone decipher this into what it really actually means? And no making it up either. susannah. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
