i hope all your mondays were beautiful. i was a bit bored so i kidnapped sarah cracknell from saint etienne and have imprisoned her in my cellar. i don't know why really, it just seemed like a good idea at the time. i have tried to feed her marshmallows and whisky under the door but she's not eating them. its a little inconsiderate of her. she's not much of a house-guest really. i thought she might shake her maracas and maybe sing a few verses of "avenue" but all she's doing is screaming "let me out you bastard" anyway, i have a plan. i am going to write to bob stanley and tell him that i want to be in the band. i reckon i can pout just as well as she can. look out for the next single. and perhaps the band at bowlie (that free ticket would be nice) enough of that, i will keep you informed as to developments. lesley said: ~i didn't knwo there were so many gay boys on sinister. (alright rainbow ~power y'all!!) where are the big lesbo dykes?? i know there are at least ~two of us. maybe we can start the lambda sinister union association of gay ~belle and sebastian fans. hahahahaa i also know an alarming number of gay steps fans. one day, i would like to walk into a gay club and hear "the boy with the arab strap" being played. unlikely, huh? and i'm definitely going to be avoiding gay bars in oregon: ~ but for the boys (I'm 23, so maybe ~I can only speak about the 20-something boys), there seems to be nothing but ~cheapness, tawdriness, anti-love, anti-feelings, false machismo, etc, in our ~'scene'. chris...i'd say you'd just met a bad bunch of people. can everyone there really be like that? the gay "scene" is a bad way to judge gay people. any grouping based around nightclubs is going to be quite shallow. but i LOVED your comments about b&s and why they might appeal to a gay audience. pity we're spoon-fed such crap (like steps) by various marketing agencies and the gay scene seems willing to swallow it. if you'll pardon the metaphor. good luck with finding a gay boy who's into belle and sebastian. we shall make it our mission to improve the musical taste of every gay man we meet? agreed? oh...i was going to write something about marbles up noses but i'm far too tired. perhaps a little story to go to bed with.... the first time i took my nose piercing out i accidentally inhaled. the back of the stud went up the nostril and didn't appear for about 2 hours afterwards. i spent all that time holding the top of my nose, breathing out and thinking what a crap way to die having a nose piercing flying through the front of your brain would be. and on that pleasant image i'm off to rest my weary little head. and shut that whining bitch up in my cellar. i don't know why she keeps banging like that, but i have decided to play her some soothing pan pipe music until she falls asleep. talk about over-reacting. its really very nice down there. ian +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
