Strangely enough my mother prevented me from watching Dungeons And Dragons on the grounds that it was evil. You see the large fellow with the horn (no not keith/mick) was clearly the devil. Along with Dungeons and Dragons, Chocky (sp.?) was off grounds. This was about some invisible entity who whispered scary things into the ears of young children. Obviously the invisible entity was a demon, so mother said no. But she did let me stay up to watch "The Young Ones". Pigeon Street had rather annoying electronic toms to represent the coo of a pigeon, if I recall. As far as songs that make me cry - I am a bit of an emotional type and can often be found weeping at the injustices of this world. So needless to say, many a song brings a tear to my emerald eyes. A few spring immediately to mind....... "Feed the Birds" by Mary Poppins "Hello Young Lovers" by "I" from "The King And I" "My Grandfathers Clock" by my mum Hmm. I read somewhere of the magical powers of lavender oil, so I dabbed a little on my forehead before leaving for work. Unfortunately it is rather potent stuff and my incredibly laddish workmates have given me the rather clever nickname "Lavender Gay Boy". Ho Ho Ho. How I love the world of international fund management. Fond Regards, Lavender Gay Boy ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Real sleaze
by john wigham 31 Mar '98

31 Mar '98

This came up a couple of digests ago... > >>> HOW SLEAZY ARE YOU? > >>> (1) Ever laughed at someone else's misfortune? > >>> 1 point > >>> (2) Ever laughed at a physically or mentally handicapped person? > >>> 2 points > >>> (3) Ever tried alcohol? > >>> 1 point > >>> (4) Ever been drunk? > >>> 2 points > >>> (5) Ever play drinking games? > >>> 2 points etc etc etc (various other things, like how it's ten times sleazier to have gay sex than it is to laugh at a mentally handicapped person) It's not very Belle & Sebastian, is it? For goodness sake, real sleaze is about dishonesty, exploitation or hurting people, not about who with, how or where you have sex. This sort of stuff is just the dark flipside of uptight Christian moral values - haven't we got beyond this? Don't B&S lyrics just shine with the exact opposite - gentle acceptance of whatever sexuality you're into? Whatever gets you through the night...

Sinister: who knew?
by Courtney Knopf 31 Mar '98

31 Mar '98

Here I am. And I can't believe that this is only my second post to the Sinister list. I'm so *very* vocal on all the other lists I'm on. In time I'm sure I'll pipe up more, and then you'll all want to beat me senseless to shut me up:) First off, I'd like to say hello to Chris in Australia who knows the oh-so-fab Michelle who I'm always chatting with on #weezer on IRC. Small world, eh? And secondly, I went to the Virgin megastore on saturday night while I was killing time before our movie started and I saw that they had about 4 copies of "Dog on Wheels" and about nine copies of "3..6..9.." I was very excited, but didn't have enough cash on me:( So I came back the next day because a friend of mine and his band were performing at the store. I checked in the "B" section again and only found about 3 copies of "Dog on wheels" and "3...6...9.." was NOWHERE to be found. In a 24 hour span..that's a whole lot of sales, I must say! I was impressed. So I snatched up a copy of DOW and had to settle. I also noted about 5 vinyl copies of the "3..6..9.." 12" and 2 or 3 copies of it on 7". Is this rare? or what? I was just wondering. So now all i need to do is get out and find LLPJ and another copy of 369 and I'll be set. But, ohhh to have a copy of Tigermilk. ~Courtney The Sultraness of Swing "You're a handsome devil.

Sinister: the saddest song
by Schaffenberger 31 Mar '98

31 Mar '98

AHALTER asks about sad songs we cannot bear to listen to: The saddest thing that I can think of is the film PONETTE. I began crying mid-way through the film, and was all but hyperventalating (SP?) by the time it ended. The friends I was with were embarassed by my pitiful weeping. I think I will rent the video someday when I am alone and feeling quite pathetic. Songs? At the moment, all that come to mind are things like "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want," the melodies of which draw forth painful early high school memories, crushes on boys and the like... I know there are more, but I can't think of any. It's unbearable to remember being sad in high school, really. I think I've effectively blocked most of those years out. -Kristen ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: remember the times
by Henry 31 Mar '98

31 Mar '98

hi everyone! i'm new, and being that this is my first time posting- i must stress that i love B&S- but i'm sure you all understand where i'm coming from. anyways- as for songs that i love, yet are unbearable to listen to, i would have to say adorable's "a to fade in" and "breathless" definitely leave me sobbing after each listen- "my second grade poetry, just is not enough to describe you.... i'm scrambling round on the floor, looking for some fresh metaphor, of the words to describe this- just do not exist" In fact that whole album brings back a very strange time of my life- endless memories. bye for now, rebeccajean ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

But by far and away the best 80's kids TV programme was 'Dungeons & Dragons'. Yous must all remember that, it was dead good. I always wanted to be the red-headed girl, Sheila, cos she had a classy purple cape that made her disappear. I still want one of those. What fun I could have...

I used to play at D&D in my street in Bellshill when I was wee (along with Star Wars and He-Man & She-Ra) Ah, the memories... I've just been listening to the Evening Session (for the first time in ages) and the 'my first gig' thing was The Clash in Edinburgh in Jan. 1980. How classy would that have been? I wish I could have been there then. Okay, so I wasn't born 'till the July of that year, but that's not the point... No one good plays here now. It's dead crap. But I'm moving to Glasgow in September, so yay!!! I just remembered some other sad songs; 'Faded Glamour' by Animals That Swim, cos of the person it reminds me of and the beautiful words; 'The Wild Ones' by Suede; and 'Like Dylan In The Movies' (yay! mentioned B&S) cos of the bit, 'if we all went back to another time, i will love you over...' WOW. But enough of this meaningless blethering. I'll leave you to get on with your sickeningly happy lives, safe in the knowledge that however bad it is for you at the moment, I'm having a worse time... Why did I have to leave this on a bad note? It was all going so well...Ah, well. 'Till tomorrow, spacebots... love and spangles, Debbie xxx.

Sinister: living it
by Bramleys 31 Mar '98

31 Mar '98

has anyone ever felt like they are in a belle and sebastian song? this has only ever happened to me a few times and it is the most marvellous feeling. it usually happens at school when i feel like, on occasion, a social reject with many problems. but the last time was actually with jon last friday after school. we were in the botanical gardens and i was in my school uniform which seemed to just fit. it was all sunny and pretty and we were on a slapper walk, spotting all the local school slappers, and i felt removed from them, which was nice. i could even ger an ink polaroid out of that. has anyone else? bethey
