Sinister: time wounds all heels.

something including the word 'intolerance.' don't try to read it too much. or into it. too much. I trust you. for to make it not lots and lots of fun to read. but/and without having made any promises. --I'm certainly no more bohemian than I was. and not actually any more moravian. this is all I'll say about anything like that. I think I've decided. unless I'm invited to. or I'm able to deem it appropriate enough. ...AND YOU WILL KNOW US BY THE TRAIL OF THE NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD the people. they have moved here. but they're different. to how I had expected! no, not different to. but different! haha. people! some of them anyway. I heard there's one who will still come and who is still the same. I don't doubt it an awful lot. but I won't hold my breath: I would die. I AM happy that people have moved though and I'm happy with the ones that have [they are very nice] and although I think I may still allow myself to be sad sometimes, well, it won't have to be around them [I try not to be a party-pooper] and I can still let myself get angry too but it's unlikely it'll be with them and I will talk no more of emotion. ever. today. MAD MAX BYGRAVES I went to see belle & sebastian too. on a thursday. it was really, really a lot of good fun. I think I really enjoyed it. if I stop for a moment. I got hugged beforehand as well. I DO like hugs. I guess I must just pretend that I might not. but I don't pretend so much that I would make a sort of repulsed-looking face when faced with the prospect of ME GETTING HUGGED. yeah. I like hugs as much as any other: I am human too. well, neil robertson. isn't HE a NICE guy? HEY. I wouldn't say something like that if I didn't mean it; I say something like that since it really, really seems to be the case. I don't expect any favours from him in the future. nice fella. caitlin pigface. I mean TAILS. and yet...hm...I'd always choose heads. for simplicity. and like...something else. CAITLIN PIGTAILS: he's got him a movie. he wants us to know. [that was a while ago now but I don't care enough to not have typed it now]. he said to me that I looked serious a lot of the time. this was at the concert. and I think he said some nice things about me in the past. I won't rake them up. though. it's funny that people say nice things to you and you can only ever say things in return that are completely interpretable as not-nice. actually it isn't too funny, really. and it isn't you, either. I should get better at receiving compliments [IT'D MAKE MY DAY-TO-DAY LIFE A WHOLE LOT EASIER, I'll tell ya]. actually. I think I want to get better at complimenting. or complying. or cementing. or, BUBBA, people'll just think I'm rude. I DO look serious sometimes. a lot of the sometimes. I take enjoying myself very, very seriously. play hard...play smart. but it. HAHA. it isn't no! HAHA. juicy lucy had not included me in her people-that-were-there list from that concert a while ago. she apologised to me too. I waved a hand, like: "p'shaw." like, y'know. later at the bar she did a great underworld impression. and I ain't talkin' no al capone. I just sorta wisht lucy had included me then and that david moore had done an impression like hers. but I'm thankful for small mercies. +she remember'd me this time around. but I WAS conspicuously absent from other people's people-being-out-together listings. conspicuous only to myself, perhaps. some people get upset about things like that. I did type 'upest' at first. freudian typo. I, however, can't really get upset since: I only ever wanted mentioned by david moore anyway. the carsmile did some hideously belated Reporting Back. but. let's face it, at least he did some Reporting Back. with it he said "LLPJ with Monica, as it should be ;)" I could try to agree with that. if only I had ever seen it suchly. why, oh why do they never ever have monica join them onstage for glasgow gigs? I swear... especially when I'm drunk. +sometimes I make blinded statements of non-truth. usually about nothing important. simply situations. I met a boy called michael since the concert too. despite all his energeticness. he seems genuinely nice. I hate these people that are ingenuine in their niceness. or in their unniceness. well: he knows who is in control. although he's pretending not to. but we both know it's pretense. and I don't mind that at all. I'll say nothing of the post. but. AC/DC? then. paranoid? I had thought that was a black sabbath. but wait a minute! it actually wasn't michael grant!! what WUZ I thinking? something else. it was paul healy! thanks. I know you think we're crazy. but I think I know you think you're crazy too. so. okay. CAT STEVENS ON A HOT TIN ROOF and. mark casarotto was in glasgow for a weekend. there were lots for turning out for to see him on friday night too. it was fun in a little room. doesn't happen often enough. like that. I didn't say too many things to him but I only have myself to blame. I wished we had been on the same football team too. that way I coulda tried tussling wit' him. without having much to lose. I didn't hear him talking in that which most seem to agree to consider the most important/interesting topic of the day. I musta been elsewhere pretending to listen about prosthetic BALLS [like, I did hear] and [not entirely associated] daniel's reasoning for the elimination of cancer. but, I'm not sure. shame no-one [not peter, I've learned] talked of the football from this weekend at any great length. it was a magnificent show that those watching didn't really appreciate. there'll be more football in glasgow soon too! there is some football there already but. germany back to australia. the way it should be. but for how long? I don't suppose it matters really. I don't even know where australia is. and I'm not too sure where...whatever that other place is...is. GEA missed out on that concert. went to visit some victims of snowblindness or something instead. charitable she is. I will take care to enter a number for her sometime soon. and she has even more pieces of metal than before. I had thought that wouldn't have been very possible but. thinking about it: she does seem to have some sort of magnetism about her. she just has to watch what/who it is she's attracting. +where's ian nicolson when you need him? decorating. it seems. maybe I'll have an opportunity to see the fruits of his labour sometime. I will talk not of his loins. although, he may have been inspired by george square. unfortunately orange doesn't go with everything. he needs his 'the seventh seal' back and I miss him, if he's reading this: I'LL BE IN TOUCH AS SOON AS I ACTUALLY AM. squares. once I was in a big ol' square somewhere! and, like, I found myself on the phone to someone else and what they had said was "I'll send someone. meet them under the famous clock." and I, of course, immediately thought of london. but not because of a clock. I think I was actually thinking of ondon. you betcha. of which to talk: mister cook. he wrote a top ten list I really liked a while ago that I thought maybe I wasn't going to have seen. but I read it again lately and it wasn't how I recalled it. there were still ten in the top. I don't know! he professes some but it seems he ain't no professor. not in his chosen field anyhow. birthplace? and he tells ME to close the door! and I tell him: only if he gets off the table. mandee light is coming for me finally. the purpose of her trip wasn't so obvious. let me reveal. she is on her way in order to try to sign me up to star in a picture entitled 'mister wright: the early years.' no, I'm not sure. I haven't seen the screenplay yet. but SERIOUSLY. not on her way for me. not actually. but. to near me. I'm excited by her decision not to just stay at where she's going but to go to another place where we are. where I am too. she might even shake my hand. or her fist. I wish she could have had a travelling companion from near her origin as well. but. ALAS. [I read SOMETHING ELSE from before too that made me have a reason to wish I WAS a girl]. [but, HEE-HEE, come to think about it: I'm quite glad I'm not!!]. <-I don't even know. dimitra's coming too. AGAIN. she already has come? she's here now? AGAIN. well, it's not like I'm bored or anything. well, not REALLY. [you needn't ask what [any of] this means as it obviously doesn't mean anything at all]. SEE YOU SOON DIMITRA! XXXXXXX and this is where it just breaks down [sorry]: I ain't got the moves again I'll indulge myself in not minding. but sometimes I really think I could do better with having the moves. and two stories. perceived I wish I could be/feel as big and clever as I used to be/do. do/be. although. some people say I have gotten bigger. and I'm beginning to doubt. that I'm not. bigger. or. that I'm nought. I have no reason to lie. even if I switched that around a bit. I still have no reason. do-be-do. we can work out all the inversely-proportional relationships we like but will we really discover anything new?? yes: mathematics is only of use when you're able to use it properly. [this is what I hinted at above but not clearly enough]. it'll be saturday soon. all of you LOT who are in glasgow or can get to glasgow should either stay there or go there and attend the winchester club at woodside social club and allow yourself to listen to and even see aerospace [they ARE swedish] and christopher leonard [hehe, he ain't] as they are playing live music and then, afterwards, you can let yourself listen to [and even dance with, if that's your bag] some nicely selected recordings. I'll definitely be going as the people who run it seem to like destiny's child even more than I do. maybe twice as much. SO! it seems this is now just a list. and it shouldn't be. I mean this, though. received neuralgia just ain't what it used to be. I wanted to type something about choice here but it's too similar to something I already typed. all of this has no basis! I'm completely unsure of my basis. and only rather unsure of my bases. except when sarah's flatmate's room's free. thanks to lucy and to gavin for some stolen lines. deceived time has passed. time is past. UGH. something else with 'intolerance.' and then 'even if it kills me.' all of this-1.52%. <-the actual figure. [not sure]. loved, richard. __________________________________________ Join http://www.toast.com today for your own free, flash-based webmail! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: hello hello
by morgan a 11 Jul '02

11 Jul '02

hi, i'm a new girl who's been sitting around on the list for a while without the time or motivation to write anything...until now. my excuses for this are final exams and a trip to alaska - so i'm back in seattle after three weeks of learning about oil drilling in the arctic and watching herds of caribou and muskoxen wander through the wilderness, and i'm finally able to post a message: i'm not really sure how i discovered belle & sebastian, but they immediately rose to the status of "my favorite band" (err, except for the beatles). besides a few friends, most people seem to think i'm weird, because i listen to "some scottish band that they don't play on the radio..." (what they don't know is that b&s is played on the radio - non-profit, college radio (university of washington), not corporate-mainstream-shit radio.) anyway, i'm happy with the self-proclaimed label of "dork", which is the short-answer explanation of my music tastes for everyone who doesn't understand..."oh, you're a dork. that explains it," and they walk away singing "underneath your clothes..." or "what's luv..." i'm not sorry to say that i don't understand or appreciate rap. however, if anyone does, please, enlighten me. i'm happy to report that the u.s. made it through independence day without any attacks by scuba diving terrorists. whew, what a relief; i was worried for a second (i apologize for any undue sinicism, but the press and that genius president of ours have left me with no choice. as a side note: i realized today that i don't think of george w. as president, but rather as more of a mascot - representing the u.s., and serving no real purpose other than showing up at public and political events and giving pep talks...but enough of the negative side of things. i love kraft macaroni & cheese and jell-o pudding snax. yum. sorry...) b&s could almost be described as an addiction. something about the voice of stuart, the lyrics, the instrumentation, and the music as a whole compels me to listen over, and over, and over, and over again to the point where i lose my desire to be social and hole up in a corner with my diskman - there are few bands whose music i can loose myself in...maybe you know the feeling. between that, eating, sleeping, hunting for quality lps at half-price books, and crew, my summer is complete. now that you're sufficiently bored (not my goal, i assure you, but i have a feeling that may have been the result of slogging through this whole thing), i thank you for inspiring me with your own posts :) for now, morgan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Tits is just a modern bosom
by Kenneth P Y Chu 10 Jul '02

10 Jul '02

Hello my internet friends.. I'm still at the Internet cafe and Muse are playing in the background right now, and I thought of you. Haha, that sounded the most unflattering.. no I don't really mean that you're unbearably dull and uninspirational and full of shit. I just wondered whether "Muscle Museum" was written with "Arse Muscles" in mind. Speaking of arse muscles, it was nice to know that Thomas Henderson pissed into a cup in Glastonbury.. must have been a big cup! I hope he has labelled his cup "The State", and then gave it to other people and said "Look, it's the state urine". Good chat-up line, maybe. Perhaps as good a chat-up line as one can get, with a cup of piss in hand. All the piss a-flowing reminds me that, a flowing e-mail requires links between one paragraph and another, like a train, which is a form of public transport, a bit like a bus. Riding on city buses for a hobby is sad. I did the other night though, although not necessarily as a pursuit. It was more like a chase, for three buses that took me from one side of North London to another, and then to the middle of North London again. Oh and I am now too late for the last tube home. Tube. There is this young couple next to me in this internet cafe who seem to be having sex with clothes on. Rod Stewart would have said, "blimey!". Maybe I should too, blimey. Cock. Can't wait til Saturday to shuttle cock with Archel! Balls. And bowling on Sunday! Tits! Udders and Red Bulls Ken P.S.: Check out my Blog!

Sinister: tell the truth, it really helped you...
by Declan Haskins 10 Jul '02

10 Jul '02

What's ^ sinister... I've been around here for a little while (out of the nursery for only a few months, but a B&S fan for much longer) and I've been touched as of late, with the help of a fellow sinister (thanks Michelle), and moved to kick out my keyboard and send you all my first post... so here goes... I guess I'll start out and say that the B&S show I attended up in Atlanta a few months back was one of the most amazing experiences of my life... but then I had been anticipating it for almost two years, since my first exposure to the band when on a whim I picked up a copy of 'FYHCYWLAP' because of its cool cover. I won't ever forget pressing play on my CD player as I sat there in my car parked outside of the record store and hearing for the first time the soft voice of Stuart singing on its own "I fought in a war..." and the most amazing music that followed shortly after... and my life has never been the same since that day... Back to the concert... that night I was standing right up in front, just under where Mick was standing and was next to all those crazy and wild kids who came up from Miami and were having such a great time out partying for the show. And even with the abscence of Isobel that night, the show left me feeling all warm and fuzzy inside like I had just came on to some wonderful and great drug... Thanks so much to the fellow sinister who posted the pictures of the show on their website a while back. I downloaded them all and they've been rotating quite frequently on my desktop! Onto storytelling... I think its a wonderful album and the more I listen to it the more I seem to appreciate it and the genius that went into creating it. I've yet to see the movie and so I'm void of any connections between the songs and the movie's themes and plot... And so I've constructed my own personal meanings for them... isn't that always the case with music, its always so personal. I have to say that 'Black and White Unite' is my absolute favorite and that everytime I listen to it I think of imagery of the 60's in america and all the strife during that time period (the riots and such between blacks and whites in the struggle for equality)... and I imagine someone (the perspecive of the songwriter) unaffected by all the hatred and madness around them and finding a way to transcend it all and finding beauty and love. Anyways, thats about all for now... Thanks to many of you fellow members especially those who live in the U.K. and always post about bands similar to B&S that I've never heard of... some of you mentioned trembling blue stars, camera obscura, and mum amoung others not to long ago and it opened up a whole new world of great music for me... plus mum's coming to florida in august!!! that's more mellow indie excitement then we've had here in over a year!!! (incidently I was on mum's website the other day and noticed the cover of 'FYHCYWLAP' on a band photos link, anyone know anything about this... what's their connection to B&S). Unfortunately audiogalaxy is gone now... do any of you know of any good sites to get mp3's, such as the rare B&S live stuff that audiogalaxy used to have (epitonic is decent but very limited and I've tried morpheus and winMx and they both suck), email me of list. on a side note I'll be up in Atlanta again this coming weekend for the Neil Halstead show with some friends... any fellow sinisters who happen to be up there (any fans of slowdive, mojave3???) I'll be wearing a B&S t-shirt and looking kinda like Moby... say hello!!! good times and music to all love, -D "this is it, my world, the real world, the secret, where there are no teachers, no schools, no unanwerable questions, where on can be without having to ask anything" Carl Jung __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: E. Wilska and sgazzetti in B'cassim housing SHOCKER!
by Emily Wilska 10 Jul '02

10 Jul '02

Ah, Sinister. *BEGGING* It's true: the eternally wonderful sgazzetti (AKA JDS, or that bloke teaching English in Slovenia) and yours truly will soon be travelling to somewhere in the middle of the Spanish Mediterranean coast (let us not discuss my far-reaching lack of European geographical knowledge) to attend the FIB, where B&S will entertain the CROWD OF THOUSANDS with their rock stylings. (Hi, long and impenetrable sentence.) Given our advanced ages (28 and something greater than 28, respectively), and given my slightly high maintenance desire not to have to queue in order to shower, we were hoping to find accommodations other than the free massive festival campsite. Alas, we were a bit--comment dit-on?--behind the 8-ball, and it now appears that all of el Pais Valenciana is booked. ALL OF IT. This is where you come in: do any of you happen to have an extra hotel room (or similar--space in a bungalow or chalet would also be smashing) kicking about? I know Jordi mentioned one a few weeks back, but I've a sinking feeling it's loooooong gone by now. We are simple folk, John and I, and don't require lots of care. We can regale you with tales of travelling across the wilds of southern France, and would gladly ply you with alcohol, and would cast upon your feet the mantle of our eternal gratitude. Any and all leads on this front would be MOST APPRECIATED. Please give me a holler off-list (wilska(a)microsoft.com) if you can help save our sorry asses from having to burrow into the sand on the beach to bed down for the evening. *NOT BEGGING, BUT A REQUEST STILL* I hasten to add that even if you can only tell us we're S.O.L. as far as housing goes, if you're going to Benicassim, WE WANT TO HANG OUT WITH YOU. It's true that we're American, but John is worldly beyond his years, and I can easily pass as Canadian (complete with correct pronunciations of 'sorry' and 'pasta'), and we promise to be sufficiently witty, erudite, and alcoholic. All interested parties should please be so kind as to email either of us (me at address above, J at sgazzetti(a)yahoo.com) and state their intentions. *IN OTHER NEWS* Did anyone else notice that supposedly mild-mannered, soon-to-be-English-teacher Molly Due had the phrase ANAL LEAKAGE in her e-mail addy? That fact coupled with the vibrating bed thing (other models are know as the Sandman) leads me to doubt her innocence. Not that she necessarily claimed any, mind. On the WEblog front, I humbly remind you of my own: http://divert.blogspot.com Finally, after you've finished 'Everything Is Illuminated', [stressing now about placement of that comma outside quotes], you should hasten on to 'Prague', by Arthur Phillips, which is both brilliant and brilliantly sarcastic. You heard it here first (possibly). I will now celebrate San Francisco's faux summer by attempting to take my lunch outside. Soon enough it'll be unabashedly cold yet again.

Sinister: princess whiny bitch
by bus stoppers 10 Jul '02

10 Jul '02

good morning candyland, who's sleepy? raise your hands... ooo! ooo! pick me! okay. i'll stop now. the other day at work, i was slapped in the face with such a reality. i cried. but the thing is is that i already knew this thing to be true, but alas, realized at the same time my denial. double slap. players: sara-sad girl accepting realities she is in denial about frances-wishy washy girl stuck in the middle, but choosing sides jill-mean girl who hates sara steve-jill's b.f. and sara's supervisor story in a nut sack: sara and frances are friends. jill and steve and frances are friends. sara and jill think each other are the b-word. steve busts sara's balls at work for no reason. steve and jill told frances sara was trying to use her. frances and jill and steve are the "cool kids" and sara is a pocket protector*. when frances and sara hang out, frances is nice. when they are all at work, frances ignores sara. sara started ignoring frances. jill told a manager that i tried to hit her with my car**....ect.... basically: stupid drama bullshit. *pocket protectors CAN be useful, just try it. **jill cut sara off. if sara had one of those hourglass necklaces in harry potter, she would have hit jill with her grandpa's car. to quote a wonderful friend of mine: "i'm going to kick you in the cunt if you don't stop being mean to sara. word up!" isn't that beautiful? WORD UP! i think that i finally realized that as much as i try to be "cool", it's just not going to happen unless i give in and act like an asshole. WHY! do i try to fit in a groove that i'm obviously not fit for!? i probably shouldn't have cried, but i hate that constant tug of not wanting to trust anyone anymore. than what would be the point of existing in this forsaken world if i couldn't have friends, right? i'm babbling, but i'm sad so i don't care. i was leaving campus yesterday afternoon listening to the good life in my headphones (the beaten path) while i walked on the grassy patches that make a pattern with the gum-marked cement walkways. walking on grass has become one of my most favorite things ever! i can't really explain that either, but try it. anyway, there were little youngin's on the grass, i think on some summer activities thing, playing red rover red rover. remember that shit? i failed p.e. in 2nd grade because i didn't want to play any of the races or games. competitiveness scares me! i faked stomach aches. got an f on the report card because i sat on the sidelines 5 days a week. i stopped and watched them a bit. there were older kids and younger kids playing together and the little tiny kids were so cute. swinging their arms and chanting send so-and-so over...well...there was this one girl. she yells, call for someone WEAK so we can win. who the fuck is that bitch going to turn out to be? i wanted to go pinch her damn ear because sure enough, they call the tiniest boy from the other team who gets fucking neck slammed and almost falls on his ass. yeah! whoo! the bitch screams. i can't really think of a way to put it all together, but somehow it does. i think. i'm okay with not being accepted. i used to take it personally, but fuck it. right? it's just when i feel...i don't think betrayed is the right word...um...abandoned...? maybe i should have a copy of a disclaimer with me at all times. "if i plan on acting like a friend, then i am a friend. if i don't like you, i will not go on under false pretenses. i'll simply leave you alone. i promise." please sign on the dotted line. right next to the X. the word of my emotion is disappointed. maybe? here's to not having any expectations, love sara p.s...i'm sorry i had to get all that out. p.p.s...on a happier note! when i checked my e-mail today, i had one of those e-mails that isn't spam, but somehow i don't know how i got it kind. anyway, this was the subject line: FORANOTHERDREAM, ENLARGE YOUR PENIS TODAY! GIVE YOUR WOMAN MORE PLEASURE! i'm NOT kidding. no. i don't have penis. now. if it had been: FORANOTHERDREAM, ENLARGE YOUR BREASTS TODAY! JUST FOR THE HECK OF WIDE-EYED SIDE GLANCES! i wouldn't have clicked to get off their wonderful e-mail list. ===== all the people'd stare as if we were both quite insane someday my name and his are going to be the same __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Like a Friend
by AMEBIX13＠aol.com 10 Jul '02

10 Jul '02

Hello sinister, Hopefully this post finds all of you well. I am stuck covering for the receptionist today at work, which means that I will be far more bored than usual, and it also means that I will have ample time to post. So yes, I have decided that in essentially one year from now I am going to move to Glasgow, and attend university there. It will be a nice change, and it will be fun to be somewhere new. Not that I don't love Baltimore, because I do, but variety, as they say, is indeed the spice of life. So does anyone from Glasgow want to make friends with me? Any girls want to arrange a date very far in advance. I promise to bring you flowers and take you on a lovely dinner, although you may have to pick the restaraunt, as I will understandable be a bit unfamiliar with the choices we have. If you fancy tall boys with dark hair, I should be right up your alley. And I've been told that I am a good kisser. I don't sound too desperate do I? I got 'Storytelling' a while ago, and! I! like it. It's definately not my favorite material that they have put out, in fact it may be my least favorite, but still, it's good, and when compared to most other things, it's very good. Sometimes it's interesting when bands take a slightly different direction with their sound, and I like to see people doing what pleases them. Now onward to other things...I've noticed lately that everyone in baltimore knows eachother some how...and it's not like it's a small city or anything, I think it's one of the top ten or fifteen cities in the states size wise. But anyway...it seems that I can't go on a date without everyone in the entire metropolitan area finding out. Last week for example. I hang out with a girl who've I've seen around at various bars, shows, etc...well it turns out she's somehow friends with my roomate...went to high school with some random boy that I work with...and is in fact one of my other friends cousins! How is that for odd? And there is yet another ! ex! ample that has occurred in the past week. I went out with another person who informed me that my last ex-girlfriend is now under the false assumption that she is dating her best friend! What a tangled web we weave. So it basically comes down to this, I go out on a date or have sex, and everyone in the area knows it...like it or not. This has the potential to have far too many people know far too much about me. I mean, if I'm a crap shag, I'd prefer to be able to keep it at least reasonably secret...not that I sleep with a terribly numerous amount of people...it just seems that given the situation, it will only take one or two. So that's my predicament. Hrmm, other news in the world of Sean...I actually have met a girl who I like, and who I think is definate relationship material. I'm not really sure if it will end up going that way yet though. We get along great, she's quite lovely, intelligent, classy, basically all I look for in a woman. I just get a bit of the i! mp! ression that she might not be in the market for a proper boyfriend at the moment. It's quite a shame, because I think we could be brilliant together...it's not too often that I meet people who I think I could work with like this, the last time it happened in fact was with a girl named elise, who used to be on this very list. It's slightly frusterating, but I'm not going to let it get me down too much. We have fun together, have great conversations, and go out to delicious dinners, so what do I really have to complain about? Oh yes, let me ask this before I forget...is there anyone on the list who is also from Baltimore? I hope so, it would be nice to hang out with some fellow sinistrines from my hometown. And hey, they would probably already have an intamate knowledge of my life, so we could certainly grow close rather quickly. Well, it's time for me to wrap this up now. Love, Sean +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Sinister : My wandering (correction: sightseeing) days are almost about to begin
by Simon Fallaha 10 Jul '02

10 Jul '02

Good evening everyone. I have been rushed off my feet these last couple of days, what with a job interview (the result of which is still unknown) and another application. Such is life when you're trying to find a one-year placement in between your second and third years at uni, and also when you're about to go on holiday for a month in a couple of days. But there is plenty to look forward to! I continue to enjoy reading your posts. Anne, I'm sorry that I can never agree with anyone who loves Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like A Peasant. I'm not saying it's a bad album, it just hasn't stuck in my memory. Seems a bit bland and dragged out. No B & S album can compare to If You're Feeling Sinister or The Boy With The Arab Strap. (It was inspirational to choose the title track of that album as the theme to Teachers, even though I never watch it). Seems that most of you really enjoyed the Glasgow picnic too. A while ago I discovered a QuizYourFriends site, for fun. They say it's best if you write quizzes about yourself and send them to your friends, but you can write any quiz you like here. I did one on myself (and music, and films). And yes, I mentioned Belle & Sebastian in about two of the questions. Tonight I am finally seeing Storytelling! Critics' reviews that I've read online seem to give a pretty mixed opinion about it, but who knows? I wonder how well B & S's music blends in with the film itself. Speaking of films, I recommend Minority Report to all. It's even better than Spider-Man (well, it has more depth, anyway). It would have been the best film I'd seen in a long, long time, if only it didn't drag towards the end. Still excellent though. Ironically, when I reviewed it (hopefully I'll get my reviews website back online soon) I didn't count that as a flaw. Probably cos I said that Amelie wasn't too involving in parts when I first reviewed it, and then when I watched it the second time I didn't notice that. There's a number of rock festivals across Europe that I'm going to miss because of the upcoming long holiday (which isn't only in Tunisia - it's Edinburgh first). There's a particularly good one in Spain towards the end of July. And The Divine Comedy are playing near home while I'm away (I remember missing their supposedly brilliant gig at the QUB last November because of other commitments)! Ah well. Never mind. What I heard from a friend yesterday was that parts of the original Star Wars were filmed in the Tunisian desert! That'll be interesting to see. Maybe it was that area which represented Tatooine. Anyway, must go. Take care, Psi __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: throw this girl a bone
by notorious jpb 10 Jul '02

10 Jul '02

sin-sins, thanks to SGS for summoning me from the depths of lurkerdom. i've been thinking about you recently, sinister. maybe it's the time of the season, or a desire for cameraderie, or just the mental image of all of you naked that has spurred this present post. first, for the Raving About Literature. go out right now to your library, or favorite independent bookstore, or wherever, and get your paws on this book: Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer. I know it's risky to expose my love of a certain novel to the masses, not knowing if they'll really like it, or if they'll just pretend to like it to be nice, or if they'll masturbate upon it, or simply eat it. but i think you'll like this one, sinister. it features a dog named sammy davis, junior, junior; a Ukranian translator who knows English not so premiumly; and the Holocaust. it is not a joke. but it is the funniest and saddest book i've read in ages (save for the graphic novel Good-bye Chunky Rice by Craig Thompson, which made me weep like a babe). Go. Now. secondly, for the whining. so last weekend i was at hidden cove karaoke in chicago, and was having a grand old time. sang some songs, drank some drinks. at 3am, a fellow comes in and announces that a car fitting a certain description had been broken into, and lo! twas my car! window smashed, cdplayer heartlessly ripped from the dash, and the worst thing EVER--a gob of cds were taken as well. the resale value is nil, since they were in a little zip-up case sans artwork or jewel cases. and i highly doubt the vandals were really interested in listening to the aislers set. it's likely that the whole case was just dumped in a dumpster, or masturbated upon, or eaten. SO THIS IS WHERE YOU COME IN! if any of you are crazy about burning cds for a poverty-stricken girl who cannot afford to replace the missing cds, and even crazier for mailing them intra- or inter-continentally, then i would love you forever. i might even place a photo of you under my pillow, or make out with a poster-sized version of you which i have taped on my wall. here's the list, should any of you care to help out (SGS HELP!:) ) 1. the pastels--suck on 2. spearmint--a week away 3. felt--train above the city/pictorial jackson review 4. built to spill--perfect from now on 5. heavenly vs. satan 6. beat happening--jamboree (from the box set, no less) 7. tracy & the plastics--muscler's guide to videotronics 8. IYFS!!!!!!!!! 9. smiths--hatful of hollow 10. milky wimpshake--lovers not fighters 11. aislers set--the last match 12. wedding present--seamonsters 13. wedding present--mini 14. hefner--breaking god's heart breaking god's heart? it's breaking MY heart. how can i possibly drive my automobile without "we're going out" blasting into the balmy chicago air? see, you wouldn't even have to make a fancy cover for the burned cds--i have the real ones at home! it would be so easy, and so fun, and you'd feel like you were contributing something positive to this post-9/11 world. i might even send you something in return! a small plastic gnome, for instance. or maybe even a Vishnu pencil topper. hmmmm, nothing else to report, i reckon. go get that book i told you about. guilelessly, jennpb _________________________________________________________________ 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: you�ll be left with a chainsaw....
by pulu xxx 10 Jul '02

10 Jul '02

hello, this was a truly crappy day at work, these two men that i share the room with, started commenting how quiet i am, and i almost started crying, cos i know i�m quiet and i suffer from it myself, but i really don�t need anyone to start mocking me about it. the other one is so talkative, he isn�t quiet for a second, he always have to make some remark about something and critisize other people. he�s kind of fat, almost bald, blond, homophobic type of man. i just hate him. i wish i could say something, i mean about him, some remark, but i can�t, cos he�s like a boss, at least he interviewed me for the job. yesterday i thought that he must have lots of enemies. he�s the type of person, i mean he says things without thinking about what he has said. he even mocked this one cleaner girl, cos she had a cap and was listening to her walkmans while cleaning, about how she was apologizing for her own existence and how he couldn�t stand it. and i�ve got, like 6,5 weeks left! i bought �storytelling� last week, and i like it alot. my favourite song is �black and white united�, then other good ones: �consuelo leaving� �big john shaft� �fiction� but they all are good. i forgotten other things that i was supposed to write about. sorry again about whining, but that thing just made me feel sad, cos i was afraid that i might get some comments about being quiet, and now that it happened it was like back to school and back to being bullied. bye now, yours, puluxxx __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
