Sinister: if all the things you see ain't what they seem...
by Kirsten Kenyon 11 Jan '02

11 Jan '02

wow. what to say now... i suppose i could write a long, detailed account of the past two weeks, colorful descriptions of the lovely people i am privileged to have met, a good number of humorous anecdotes and maybe even a bit about frank lloyd wright. or andy warhol. henry mancini? maybe. or i could assume the demanding role of 'disinfected indie kid' and say nothing at all except that this afternoon found me back at work and i'm feeling lazy. either way... i met a lot of wonderful people and didn't take enough photos. i do have a number of grocery receipts decorated with...*really nice portraits* of richard, ally, stevie, jeremy and, for one reason or another, david arquette. and a couple of myself. and a horned hamilton (his halo having been rudely scratched when it was pointed out that he was not jackson). i have a few photos, anyway. i'll take more next time. the relatives have been calling. it's funny. a certain steve fowler, upon hearing my voice, proclaimed 'OH, you're foreign' and asked me if i was 'from canadia.' and i said 'no, wisconsin.' close enough. and someone said something about how there are probably lots of gaudy christmas decorations in wisconsin, and i couldn't argue. just ask elise and jim. i brought very few things home with me. but...quality over quantity, right? right. i brought: * a copy of 'ghost world' from calumn. very very nice of him...i love it. and my brother loves it as well. THANK YOU! * a large bottle of bombay sapphire. by the time i got to the duty free shop, i was pretty sure i'd be needing it very soon. really. * a new favorite sweater. new to me...and it's orange. and i love love love it. * a really bad cold and a fun raspy voice to go with it. however, both of these are pretty much gone now. anyway. i had a wonderful time. thank you. and i'm home now, and back to classes in a few weeks. at the moment, i'm feeling quite motivated...academically, at least. but we'll see what happens after twenty minutes in a math class. at any rate, making good grades this semester should enable me to move out of my parents' house in may. this would be really nice. especially in case of visitors. i have been trying to post for a number of days, and this is the best i can do right now. i do apologize. there's just a lot.... it's been strange getting things back to normal. on tuesday, i got up at five in the morning, all alone in room 202 of the baltimore airport ramada. after nearly two hours getting through security, several cigarettes with a rough-talking icelandic woman, half a box of kleenex and a glass of watery orange juice, i was in chicago. my father met me at the airport and we drove to milwaukee with a lot of steely dan and a little bit of talking. mostly steely dan, though. anyway...this is enough for now. or more than enough...lengthwise, anyway. maybe next time i'll be able to actually say something.....with some sense..... love kirsten Care2 make the world greener! 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: I don't have a car to love, but I love my pussy cat.
by erin 11 Jan '02

11 Jan '02

I left to visit home for the break leaving behind a rather sweet relationship. Two weeks later I return and he has a ring from (or rather for) his ex-girlfriend. Needless to say, I was a little distraught and I don't know what to do with myself anymore. The video in astronomy today made me cry; the slow earthrise over the barren moon in the total darkness was so beautiful and I felt so insignificant that I just cried. And I didn't even manage to take notes. The rest of the day was spent riding the Seattle city bus around, aimlessly, whilst spinning 'If You're Feeling Sinister' and staring out the window. When I don't know what to do with myself, I sit on a bus. (That's awfully twee, isn't it?) The bus, however, never accomplishes much; invariably it just brings me back to where I started and I still feel worthless and afraid to go back to astronomy; I'll just cry again because it's so beautiful and I feel so insignificant. So, there's really no B&S content there (except to possibly mention the "I'm Waking Up to Us" EP has grown on me to the point where it's my favorite collection of three little songs) but I needed to get this out somewhere other than my journal. Ta, erin PS -- Thanks to miss Rebecca for the wonderful lion story. It was very well-timed. _____________________________________________________________ Are you lazy?

Sinister: I love my fugly race car
by michelle ruiz 10 Jan '02

10 Jan '02

boo are you feeling ok? Well I hope so. I haven't been in the Sinister post vicinity in a very long time. Actually it was summer last time I posted. Absence makes the heart grow fonder though so I missed you. I am glad it's 2002, 2001 pretty much sucked. School has begun again. Nice to see my money evaporate into text that I probably won't end up using. Today in small group communication class we had to come up with "new" slang terms. Well I just discovered, as my friend brought up, the word "fugly." Fugly is combination of fucking + ugly. Oh, and apparently some people are saying "one" instead of goodbye now. I haven't heard of that, but it seems a bit stupid. um what else. Oh, I didn't know what a hoagie was until today too (a sub sammich). Is it me or does it seem like everyone is passing away. Yesterday it was the Wendy's man Dave Thomas, then today I find out the drummer from Feeder died earlier this week, as well as Esquivel- who I am particularly sad about. Though he led a good long life and brought much swigning music to those who listened. I think they all accomplished cool things in their lives, so that's something to be happy about. As for B&S content (while I remember to put some). I think I lost my beloved white/burgundy pin *sniff*. I also think Struan has NASCAR aspirations with his driving gloves. I'd like to see that racing car. It'd probably be painted plaid with sponsorship from Fruit of the Loom t-shirts. And I'm not really sure if I like the Reindeer Section. Reindeers are nice though :) and so are caffeinated drinks with chocolate (try it you will like it) one xx michelle xx __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: Sinister: Need a cat's name...
by JohnnyShred 10 Jan '02

10 Jan '02

The Naming of Cats The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter, It isn't just one of your holiday games; You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter When I tell you, a cat must have three different names. First of all, there's the name that the family use daily, Such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo, or James, Such as Victor or Jonathon, George or Bill Bailey- All of them sensible everyday names. There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter, Some for gentlemen, some for the dames: Such as Plato, Admetus, Electra, Demeter- But all of them sensible everyday names. But I tell you, a cat needs a name that's particular, A name that's peculiar, and more dignified, Else how can he keep up his tail perpendicular, Or spread out his whiskers, or cherish his pride? Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum, Such as Munkustrap, Quaxo, or Coricopat, Such as Bombalurina, or else Jellylorum- Names that never belong to more than one cat. But above and beyond there's still one name left over, And that is the name that you never will guess; The name that no human research can discover- But THE CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess. When you notice a cat in profound meditation, The reason, I tell you, is always the same: His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name: His ineffable effable Effanineffable Deep and inscrutable singular Name. -T.

Sinister: Need a cat's name...
by lepastie＠genie.co.uk 10 Jan '02

10 Jan '02

Hello. It's been a while. Isn't it cold? My nose is running badly. Anyway, to the point: I've taken a stray cat under my wing. Poor wee mite's got a sore tail. Anyway, he's a (neutered) tom and is about four years old. Tortoiseshell. Need a name. Just now, he's called Dale, cos me and my flatmate love Special Agent Dale Cooper from Twin Peaks. But I don't really *approve* of this name. Mind you, my flatmate refuses to call it Geddes. Any suggestions? *memories of pub toilets come flooding back* The other night, I sat in my room listening to every Belle & Sebastian record ever. It was nice. Im a bugger for leaving CD's out of their cases and never cat-a-logging cassettes. I pay the price. None of the bloody things would play properly. Last time I went mad at a Pulp CD cos it wouldn't play 'Lipgloss' properly. It's my own fault. I don't know why I do it. I'm silly. Oh, how I wish someone would give me a big wheelbarrow full of �10 notes. Even fivers would tickle my pickle. Due to lack of cash, I'm back on my porridge diet. I'd recommend it to anyone wanting to lose weight. Although you can go to bed feeling a little 'full'. I had a rotten Christmas. But a good New Year. Was dahn Sarth in old London town. Was grate fun. Got the bruises to prove it. God, it's cold. I had a well minging dream. Was in a tent pitched in a main street near where I live and this new cat had shit all over the sleeping bag and when I got out the tent, I ran to a payphone and Isobel Campbell was using the phone, but she was speaking in a Spanish accent. That's when I think she looks dead like the girl in that film, The Red Squirrel. Sorry Im rambling. I guess Im mailing to ask if there are any (indoor)picnics planned for Glasgow any time soon. I haven't seen JenOwl since that day outside C&A. And C&A isn't there anymore! Lovebites: good or bad? Discuss.... Love you all, some more than others. *big hug to all who deserve one* Pamela xxx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: two weeks of feeling guilty...two weeks of xmas merriment...
by Richard Cottyn 10 Jan '02

10 Jan '02

two weeks of drinking lots...two weeks of staying up all night. I don't think I got to do much reading of newspapers, or even river walkways, but the crimbo holidays are now well and truly over (Richard realises he really should have sent this a good few days ago). When you are off school, you expect to have loads of free time, and yet I didn't seem to have any! I think that Christmas and New Year got in the way really, and so I wake up for school 4 days ago and think "ah. I should have done this. And this. And what bout revision for this? Argh!") But what the hell. Belle and Sebastian somehow make things much much better. :) I think that you lot are a good/bad* influence on me (*delete as appropriate), as I have recently developed quite a taste for Ribena. (Cue cheers from the back) Yes it is true, no other drink tends to satisfy me at the moment-unless it contains alcohol of course. Ribena and alcohol?! Now there's a thought... Speaking of Ribena, I broke my berry (you know, the ones with the popping out eyes, you must have got one!) on New Years Eve. I was distraught! I think I'd applied a bit too much pressure, and one of his eyeballs made a squishy noise and, well, popped out. I managed to split up the gooey stuff and shove bits of it back in, but it isn't quite the same. I had to draw new eyeballs on it, but it loooks a bit crosseyed and, well, not quite all there. And if you understood that last paragraph, then congratulations! There was talk a good few weeks ago about end of year polls, and some people displayed a lack of interest and a "whats the point" attitude. Yet i must confess-I think they are great-I love seeing where my personal faves have got to (though I was disappointed not to see David Kitt's fantabulastic 'The Big Romance' not get rated in many). It's also good to look and think, "Ooo, NME have put Spiritualized in the top three, perhaps I ought to get that". Now I'm sure I had something else to say, and this will bother me for the rest of the evening now. Ah well. I'll leave this part to you then. Fill in the blanks with your own interesting comment (not that it has to be *that* interesting). _________ _____________ ___ __ _________ ___ ________________ ______ _____ ______ __ _______ _ ______ _________ ___ _______ ____ Have fun, I'm sure you will!

Sinister: an awkward post
by andrew thorpe 10 Jan '02

10 Jan '02

Hi sinister, I'm feeling rather guilty about sending this post - jammed packed with blatant list abuse, and even more so, seeing as I m a bit of a self confessed lurker. However things are getting quite desperate at this end. Hopefully Ill have manage to think up something thatll pass as content by the end of the letter. Ill try and not bore you with the details, but basically Im doing this Design course in college, and one section of the course is a study on an existing product, I have chosen to look at instruments - in particular the violin. Sounds quite dull, and well I dont want to lie... I admit that I usually leave things till the last minute, its a cliché, but I kind of agree that youll work better under a bit of pressure (well its a good excuse for being lazy, and forgetful before hand). Although its only recently dawned on me exactly how late Ive left it, and how much pressure Ive put myself under, Im starting to have regrets. But Im not posting to sinister to just whine. What I need is just a few comments from any violinists out there (Sarah??), or musicians of any sort, Im not really in the position to be picky. Im only looking for a few opinions, nothing too elaborate. So if there are any violinists/any old musicians out there wanting to complain about an instrument of their choice Id be chuffed to hear from you. Now to the content! Errrrr ? This may have been already mention, but if it hasnt I thought there might be a few of you that would be interested to hear that Mr Nick Drake is set too release a new lp! No, he hasnt done a Richey Edwards, and now decided to resurface. Apparently there are a few demos and bootlegs that have been kicking around for quite sometime, and now his Sister has just given permission for them to be released. At the moment the tracks are being re-mastered by his old producer, and the finish product is looking likely to be called Family Tree, but I have no idea when it will be coming out. There have also been a set of unseen photos discovered, which will no doubt be used, the whole thing sounds like its going to be pretty splendid. Well, I feel the greasy hand of time looming, Cheerio and thanks, Andy You think your God... Well, I've got to model myself after someone! ______________________________________________________________ For up-to-the-minute music news, reviews and specials visit http://www.nme.com Get free e-mail (anyname(a)nme.com) now at http://www.nmemail.com The sender of this e-mail is NOT an employee or associate of NME, nme.com or any other IPC magazine. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: lost in prague....

yawning in a tiny internet cafe which is close to the astronomical clock (or if you prefer starmestska radnice s orlojem, for you czech's out there!) freezing my butt off wondering how i ended up here in the first place. i guess i wanted to travel while i was off from school and a japanese boy convinced me that nothing beats the cold weather in new york city than coming to the prague. actually im having a wonderful time out here, so if any of you sinister folk like to come and you should! actually, im writing to see if anyone on the sinister list is here in prague enjoying warm mulled wine and cheap beer. well, if you are here in the czech republic perhaps we should meet up. just in case no one knows who i am, i am a toy designer who is from brooklyn and right now i am craving for some yummy unagi(sigh).... well hope to hear from someone soon, i leave 1-15-02, see you soon! ciao, puis +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Looking for "The Little Prince" Franc Note!
by Jennifer Juniper 10 Jan '02

10 Jan '02

Hi all! I know it isn't really *about* belle and sebastian, but i was wondering since they have a good sized fan base in france, if anyone would be willing to part with a "le petit prince" franc note? i would of course pay for the value of the note in some form or another. (i.e trade) i know the currency isn't good after feb 15th, and i was hoping to have one since i remember seeing it in france many years ago. i could pull on all your heart strings by telling you that i am a third grade school teacher, and in the process of reading "the little prince" to my class, but i won't bore everyone with trite details. :o) basically, it would make 20 students and me really happy to get a "le petit prince" franc note before they are impossible to find. :o) if you are so inclined, please e-mail me directly at belle1974(a)yahoo.com merci, jennifer juniper :o) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
