("and then she took off her cardigan, and the rest, as they say, is history...") right. i'm going off right now to vote for mark casarotto b/c i have a huge massive list crush on him. oops, now he'll know. how embarrassing. i would vote for erica but she might get the wrong idea. she might think i want to see her naughty bits. which of course i Don't. my act of charity this week is Not sending any bodypart pics to honey. oh stop whining, kids -- it's for yr own good. oh! public shout out to miss lauren tigerxdare who is stressing with schoolwork -- don't worry, dearest! "throw yr homework onto the fire..." take care. xoxo, marie ps. i can't knit, but i crochet! is that cool? ===== ******************************************************* "I was a proper snob in college, as only a future lifetime English major can be" - b. glass "to me she was just marie." -mersault ******************************************************* __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

RANDOM RANTS wow, dragonball z is really really great. it's perhaps one of my favorite television programs. but it's only fun to watch on the midnight run. not nearly as great at five o'clock in the afternoon, but then again what really is. my insomnia has proved completly fruitless and all i can truly accomplish is watching television. last night i watched the hideous station MtV. awful awful awful. however there was a bright spot in this cloud of darkness. yes, it was a program called the twenty five lamest videos and it consisted of one by the artist billy squier. mr. squier proceeded to prance around like a prozac pumped deer wearing pink richard simmons work-out wear tunic, spandex sweat pants and bright whites- keds that is. he did many lewd dance moves which were semi-appropiate for the song was "you turn me on" but they proceeded to pause the video at various groin thrusts. quite scary sounding but in visual incredibly hilarious. CONTENT i work in a vegetarian restaurant in my town and the musical tapes are usually produced by another fabulous waiter. they are usually quite nice but i worked a double on monday and had also worked friday, saturday and sunday so was sick of show tunes and oldies. i lost it about 4 oclock and so decided to sneak one of my own mix tapes in- a tape that just happened to include belle and sebastian's seeing other people ( aMaZing!) and we rule the schoool. as i was walking past one of the tables in another section of the restaurant i heard.....ahem...."blah, blah blah blah belle and sebastian blah" i was so excited that i leaped after the table and pounced all over it. danced and spread sparkling fariy dust throughout the air. the table turned out to be so berry berry pleased with the tape and berry berry cool people as well. grand? indeed! alright, sweet dreams all. and hopefully none of these shall involve belle and sebastian cause all this dream involvement talk really creeps me out. shawnEE +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Maybe Im stupid but I hope I make it onto a car commercial someday cause then I will be able to know I am famous. Is it a sell out? Or me just paying my rent...who is to judge such things but me? I dunno nor do I give a hoot. Is anyone else into mid 60's garage punker rock? If so let me know cause I have had the worst time finding British derivatives of that era.....besides the obvious. If anyone knows such info I would probably poopey in my pants first and then send an email of appreciation. If any Americans like such musical antics,,,,i suggest the crypt records Back from the Grave compilations. Another bit..for all you Americans, neutral milk hotel have made onto the all time top 100 spin list. So what I spent my thanksgiving in Athens Georgia and the guy rode by on a wizard of oz bike saying "hello" meaning...you wish you were as cool.... He had on a nice sweater ..the punk. the japancakes could have whipped him..so that town is so damn driven by India rock it is scary. I expected Beck to climb up on some downtown tower excaliming his cooleness way before everyone else was cool dammit. But alas..that was my interpretation of Athens GA USA...go usa you know..i would like to see USA Vs. Arsenal in some kind of decrepit soccer game. We have all those kids with dreadlocks you know...they must have some kind of extra kicking power. Go usa. I often wonder..by default how many of you automatically delete my posts, since they are usually beligerant..like this one. See you in Stirling....new years shall be grand.

Snow Patrol, as they are now known and signed to Jeepster as such, were originally called Polarbear, but they had to change their name because some one from Janes Addiction (i think that is the right band) already had a band in America name Polar Bear....so they changed their name to Snow Patrol not too long after Stow College had released their single "Star Fighter Pilot" which was put out the year after Tigermilk. Starfighter featured three songs - with Gary on vocal & guitar, Mark on bass and Richard Colburn on drums and keyboard.... also the third song "Safety" featured Stuart Murdoch on wooden flute, Piano and vocals..... i am a LONG time Patrol fan and was fortunate enough to see Stuart play this with them live once... and it was grand.... my favorite lyric goes...: "I hold back just for a second or two then i go down on you It's so sore Sore like the sweetest thing when i go down on you and all i have is so sweet so sweet" it's a beautiful ballad.... for the first few months of the Patrols "existance" (while Gary and mark were going to college in Dundee) Richard played with them - including the makeshift gig - the first "Longest Day" in Kelvingrove Park that was moved to the QMU due to rain... it featured Polarbear, Astrid, The Bathers, The Pastels.... i can't remember who else, but there were a TON of bands and then Belle & Seb closed the show.... after that their 'real' drummer finished his college work and moved to Dundee from Belfast..... Richard was just filling in..... i think they have a new guy who spins records for them now... i don't know his name... Snow Patrol are a GREAT band - it's a bit more electric (i don't think that's the right way to say it) and 'hard core' than the Belle's - but Gary's lyrics are extremely visual and, in my humble opinion, truly great... Ireland has been banging on about these boys for nearly two years or so now, and with good reason... if you get the chance to see them or buy their LP you should... if you don't mind things that aren't all twee and whatever... they are a great band.... hm.... i think i've said that enough now. anyway, hope this bit of info is helpful.... snoggs elle +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Message-ID: <19991201071955.19543.qmail@web107.yahoomail.com> Thank you dairy council of canada b/c I had thought choice was something of an illusion ever since they started airing volkwagon ads with hip songs. It all started with fluffy little clouds... and then i was stuck in a 5-year lease, i became my car, my car became me, i lost everything but me and my keys were the only thing that turned me on. Hi everyone, i'm sorry, i'm just a little disturbed these days and commercials and capitalism are only the tip of it all. I read the new Adbusters mag from cover to cover last night. Things like this make my head spin even more than usual - and it's a lot of work to get it logical when you question logic. Maybe see what I mean at http://www.adbusters.org - though it's different in print. I've got my black indelible marker, have you? I saw Stereolab on Sunday and I also saw all the indie-cool kids in Vancouver too. Wow. Stereolab, amazing show and good and loud too. They played in the newly refurbished Commodore Ballroom - a wonderful centrally-located venue w/ good sound and lots of room and air. Could have done better w/ the paint job, but whatev. Hey you bands (and I mean one in particular), the Commodore is a good reason to come to Vancouver! Oh, and they played b&s before and after the show - only stuff from tbwtas and only on rotation with 5 other cds, but hell, it sounded so good in a big room. Speaking of the lovelies, here's something from the local a&e paper from an article on stereolab: "Considering that Stereolab helped invent the genre (ambient-French-futuristic-lounge-pop), it's only appropriate that Cobra and Phases finds the band eager to show it won't be outshone by upstarts such as Air and Belle and Sebastian." Um, what? What the *hell* is that? Mike Usinger, silly old arts journalist, yr a wanker and a know-nothing-know-it-all name dropper. Just thought I'd share. And lastly, (yes, lastly b/c i'm trying to understand what concise really means), I almost melted my brains this weekend watching 25 minutes of a Spice Girls "documentary" on Muchmusic (the nation's music station). At first it was funny to joke about them, but then our eyes glazed over and we forgot the simplest things (I believe they were sucked into the black hole of spice girl logic) until we made a quick getaway during a little posh spice crying fit (they all had their noses in pocket mirrors.) But I'm... okay... now. I now believe sushi really can cure anything. Love Robyn p.s. Wilco - Summerteeth, a must have. "You could be anywhere, but you're not. You're here."

Message-ID: <710AD5AF4EE3D111945C00805F0D0E22A2E000@SERVER1> I don't *think* this has been posted yet, so props to M!E! for this essential piece of info: The Belle and Sebastian song to be featured in the film of "High Fidelity" is Seymour Stein. I'm a bit miffed at this, cos I thought it was the perfect opportunity for a new exciting Struan composition to be aired, but no. Still, it's B&S onscreen in a big budget Hollywood flick, which can't be bad. It's a pity that, according to the script, B&S lilt across the record shop, only to be slagged off by Barry ("what's is this?" "It's the new Belle and Sebastian, Barry" "Well turn it off, it's shit" appears to be the gist of the discussion). But then in the Acid House they accompanied up the bum sex, sort of, so perhaps it's just a continuation of the scatological theme. Paula Cullen, you're not being nearly filthy enough. Pull your socks up, chicken! That Icerink compilation mentioned by Nickie Creuzfeld Jakob Dastoor - is that the one with a certain ex (and hopefully future) listee playing on it? It sounds rather good, but no doubt unobtainable. Melody Dog, a proto-B&S if ever there was one, rock. Can I have a copy please? I couldn't actually guess which was Archel's and which was Billy's poem. They're both rather good. Which makes Archel as good as the best of them. But then we always knew she was :-) I used to be able to knit - I once made, um, a bit of material, which I suppose could have become a scarf if I'd had the persistence (and if it hadn't mysteriously widened with each line of stitching), but didn't. I can sew, mind, and I've got a pencil case made of felt with a fish on it to prove it!

Message-ID: <000f01bf3c11$b881fb20$8741883e@preinstalledco> hey boys hey girls...and all you sinister beings.... pinch punch first day of the month and all that. i went xmas shopping today and blimey what a nightmare. i figured that on a wednesday morning all the kids should be in school, grown ups at work, and the people in between (like me) would be in bed so the shopping shithole that is oxford town centre would be empty. was it fuck?! i belatedly realised that this week seems to be mocks week, so it was full of 15 year old kappa slappers who should of been doing their practise GCSE's *bless* not hanging round street corners up to god knows what....i wouldn't like to think..... anyway, my shopping didn't go brilliantly...at least not for other people though i did get my dad 'the good pub guide 2000' which could be rather infomative....not that i'm an underage drinker ;-) oh no....and i'm not endorsing it either....a very bad habit to get into....don't want to get like paula 'booxe explosion' cullen now.....! what i did buy was nick drake's 'way to blue' which i'm listening to at the mo. i've never heard any nick drake before, not even on this advert you're all chatting about. i have to say i'm tres impressed, i feel all snuggly and comforted with it washing round me and my 'puter. i like his voice, he sounds very.... trustworthy. that's not the word i'm looking for but never mind. aren't the best nights of your life the ones that are the least expected? not that last night was the best night of my life...blimey if that's the case i may as well give up now...but it was certainly unexpected. i was on my way back from college just after 9 p.m and i was in a very bad mood because a) i HATE having to go to a night course just because i got kicked off the maths a-level at school.... i would have handed some work in eventually....:-) b) my course is on a tuesday night, which is when oxford united play their midweek games. there is a definite conflict of interest here which the university carrot dangling ahead is winning...for now... c) the batteries on my walkman ran out while i was surreptitiously trying to listen to shrewsbury beating us while taking notes on 19th century schools. bollocks. so i was walking in the cold with a red nose up to the bus stop when this guy who could have only been about 17 (my age) asked for some spare change. he looked absolutely frozen and i felt terrible for having been in a filthy mood for really trivial reasons. we got chatting and he was telling me all about himself and he didn't seem angry at his situation, just resigned. i've got to say, it was one of the best conversations i've ever had, full of connections and truths, really refreshing. i walked him up to the night shelter and then got on my bus. i'd completely forgotton about the footy until i was halfway home , and then i did start to wonder why we weren't being greeted by streams of people coming back as we came up headington hill. it was deserted. so i got off at the ground only to find out from a policeman that we'd equalised in the last minute and extra - time (FACup game) was about to kick off. so i wandered up into the ground and on to the terraces to watch the rest (ahh the romance of lower division football!) and who was i stood next to? a guy wearing what looked suspiciously like a b&s badge!!! i was so shocked i couldn't speak. i kept giving him and his badge furtive glances and trying/not trying to catch his eye. after a couple of minutes he started giving me odd looks back. he must have thought i was such a freak, but i wasn't going to speak to him until i was sure it was a b&s badge. then, as we were craning to see a cross come over, i sneaked a quick look at his coat and YES!! IT WAS!! and then we scored and i lost him in the crowds of people going absolutely mental. so i never got to speak to the mystery guy, but hey if he's reading this can you mail me simply so i can apologise for freaking you out :-) .....and that was my very unexpected and unexpectedly cool night. ummm, sorry for you having to endure all that, i'm easily excitable.... i promise i'll reclaim my lurker staus again though the posting thrill is beginning to get addictive ;-) lots of love rachel xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Message-ID: Being that the majority of sinisters of mercy are from England or here in America, the goings on at the WTO picnic in Seattle should be of prime concern. Recently England refused grotesque American beef imports. (We have a tendency to shoot our cattle full of hormones, metabolic steroids and anti-biotics, and then let them roll around in their own feces feeding on other ground beef... all in the name of "capitalism.") The WTO stepped in and forced England to buy the bad meat, threatening a trade strangle. Once again, the WTO put profit over human rights, and all the little kiddies are eating rancid cows. So all of you across the pond should be wary of the meat you eat. Remember what MOZ said. I don't have to repeat it.

Another century of fakers ( japanese version bonus track) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Twee& Sebastian: This is just a song with birds and the blue sky and ladidadida... pretty fucking boring, actually 1. This is just a modern song which is cute with all the acoustic instruments. but we don't actually want to hear those clever-ass lyrics now do we? 2. I know where the summer goes!! It's hiding behind all those Little Prince and Winnie the Pooh- books!!! Cute! How lovely!! Ahhh... 3. The gate (is painted pink!!! How cutey woosy!!) 4. Slow graffiti (but painting walls is wrong if you don't have the permission to do it, so you shouldn't.

To make the whole affair less painful and to give it a bit of a B&S theme, I have customised various options. My voice mail has the first trumpet break from Judy and the Dream of Horses playing in the background! Also available on my particular phone is the facility to programme your own ring melody, which is where I hope some of you out there may be able to help my phone ring out with a B&S tune or two (instead of Sesame Street)!

(you know i love you steve). but i swear to all the sinisterees this is a true story. you know i realized the other day that boys with glasses really flirt with me when i wear my glasses. i was in the organic market buying tofurkey the other day, and i was wearing my black glasses (side note-i hate it when people wear glasses when they dont even need them and are just trying to look cool. that pisses me off!) when a boy working there who also had black glassess came up to me and said hi and smiled and flirted and what not. i didnt know my glasses had such strong powers of attraction. maybe i should give up my contact lenses completely...and lastly, i got a haircut the other day. now i have bangs, and my hair comes down to right below my ear. i love it. but i am thinking of dying it. it is dark auburn right now, maybe i should dye it black? hmm i just dont know. anyways i must go. i have to finish my pavement eassy. the title of my eassy is- Pavement: A Representative of Indie Rock and Its Ideals. thanks to james for helping me with it! xoxo, and thanks to marieee for..being so darn cute. xoxo. xoxo, lauren +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

I only ask because my e-mail program died last night and when I resurected it all of my mail had disappeared. Normally of course I'd just cast a spell to get it all back but whenever I do that people always complain about the computer lab smelling of cinnamon, why must magic smell like that? I'm a bit upset by losing my mail actually, it's great fun reading over all the old insults that have been sent my way (archel called me a blackmailing sod just the other day, I was almost tempted to carry out my threat even though she did what I wanted) and as for the promises to give me a nice spanking (you know who you are) well I could read those all day. A quick piece of advice for you all, if you have to organise a function for a society you really ought to publicise it to the members as otherwise you end up with 2 bottles of wine for each person who turns up and that's given me an almighty hangover. Oh well at least it was a free hangover, I didn't pay a penny towards getting into the state that I was in last night. B&S are great to listen to when you've got a hangover though, I've got a minidisc of the Bowlie on right now and it's making me feel loads better, I am getting a few funny looks though, maybe I should stop bopping in my seat. respect to whoever sent in all those corruptions of B&S song lyrics, I'm a great fan of corruptions. Hmmm this mail appears to be quite long and says nothing important, it seems that the title I gave it at the start is rather more fitting than I intended. sorry about that. love, hugs, and fizzy sweets owen With that the narrow wizard waggled his bushy eyebrows and disappeared in a flash of blue flame leaving behind only a faint smell of cinnamon +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Message-ID: <6357CBA4ECC4D211A67C00805FD787D7065DA6@shuban.isoftplc.com> [ For people not interested in WTO stuff, there's less heavy stuff at the bottom ] PROTESTERS I think that the concerns of the peaceful protesters are genuinely held, although this is only a gut feeling since the TV coverage has (predicably) covered the violence, rather than the actual message the protesters were trying to deliver. Unless (and this is where the real cynicism comes in) there is no real message, more a whining "We don't like global capitalism so we're not going to play - when's my next giro due?" Capitalism *can* be a force of global democracy; look at what the boycott of South African apples helped achieve in the 80s and early 90s. We don't need to force the World Trade Organization to ban the use of child labour in trainer manufacture, you can find out where your next pair of shoes were made and choose accordingly. Perhaps its a middle-class luxury to be able to do so; some people have to buy the cheapest trainers because they're the only ones they can afford. This is where the argument for global trade control comes in. But to take a pragmatic view, even if only those people who could comfortably afford to bought more ethical goods, the overall amount of suffering would decrease. VERBOSITY AND PRETENTIOUSNESS ARE LONG WORDS I'm not like this in real life you know. I only speak in words of less than one syllable.

I'm sorry to say that I didn't make it down to Seattle due to illness and I regret this, but I have heard many first-hand accounts in the past couple of days. These include peaceful protestors being shoved to the ground by police, all the while yelling in disbelief that what they learned in their civics classes is a lie. A personal wake up call becomes political, a little light makes its way into the consumeristic cocoon of the 90s. - Protests (today) have the power to pull people out of their apathy and recognize the current state of the world. Whether you think protestors are dirty hippies or violent idiots or peaceful academics or whatever, at least you're *thinking* about it, and wasn't that the point anyway? This WTO protest is sure to spur more reaction to trade organizations, business and government power, the growing gap btwn rich and poor, the sad state of the environment, etc. There may still be confusion about one's own personal opinion, but at least people might understand that they can and should have the right to a voice that is listened to. Ideally, if we give respect, we should get respect. A good value, but one that is gets lost rather easily it seems. For me, it's very difficult to adhere to one opinion; we are so used to being swayed by advertising, media, government opposition, all the arguments that each side has against the others. What happens when you grow up in this kind of environment? It seems to me that we are caught in paradox and irony, and this conflict can send some of us into clinical disturbance and depression. The answer here is to try to ignore these confusions, for sanity's sake. But then, this would be apathethic - apathy (and self-absorbtion) being high among the majority of the "youth" population (read under 35(?)) right now. It's nice to listen to music and watch movies and hang out with friends, but there are conversations that need to be happening - philosophy is not boring, getting down to earth is not boring (I don't need to tell this group that, but you are an exception to the attitudes of most people, and yes, I am aware of stereotyping, but stereotypes exist because they exist...) And once we start talking about what needs to be done, well, that's where change can begin, and grow out of what is currently happening. The corresponding actions become apparent with thought. The thing is too: What are we protecting/fighting for? What are we supposed to be unified for, if unity is possible? Free trade doesn't exist, the name is a joke, someone gets rich, someone gets poor trying to live up to an impossible affluence. I don't blame the States, I don't blame anybody - it's this strange state of the world right now, something grown out of many influences. I don't understand it, and it is frustrating. But I know things should be better than they are. United for things being better than they are. United at all. There's the rant, the speech from an idealist, thoughts that are still forming, etc. Just had to say something on the topic. *the opinions expressed in this email are the opinions of Robyn Fadden, and in no way have anything at all to do with anybody at all except for her as she lives in her own sphere, untouched by anything or anyone, cool as a fuckin' cucumber, nothing can phase her, sentiment is for the weak, long live solipsism, climb to the top, believe the illusion. ===== I was reading the dictionary.

Message-ID: <0.f545cc9e.2578a252@aol.com> Lauren crushed me to tiny bits when she said to the world: << maybe i should be more like steve c. and start fantasizing about "hot chicks" in the back of magazines and then look up their websites >> Ach, I have been shamed! Now everyone will think I sit in my computer chair and wank off to internet porn everynight, which is entirely untrue (most of the time...just kidding). I just happen to have a weakness for girls who have 50s style and dress in risque little devil suits, which is precisely the angle of the new Altoid Cinnamon ads. Perhaps if I knew and had a shot with more "hot chicks" in real life, I wouldn't have to supplant html for flesh and blood (emphasis on flesh...ba dum dum). I must agree with whomever stated that vocal and defiant protests are the only way to make a dent nowadays, but then again, this is WTO, who have a very well defined anti-Human Rights/democracy stance, so why are people suprised that the protesters are getting knocked to hell and back? This isn't some small corporation with an attitude problem; these are the most powerful men in the world: the ones who own and operate the industry, not the politicians. I personally disagree with think mosr clear-thinking people realize the WTO is a load of horse shite, but anyone who figured they'd disrupt the biggest assemblage of money-makers ever with a few small handcuff chains and picket signs was dead wrong. I applaud them for putting the well-being of millions of others before their own, and I feel really bad that some of them got beaten/kicked/punched/shot/tasered, but you really should have seen that one coming. Hopefully by them pretty much making Seattle a war-zone for 24 hours, they've raised public awareness enough so that the WTO will have rougher waters to sail through in the future. Umm, oh yeah. Mumia-Jabaal is to be executed in a little over 30min here in Philadelphia. Rage Against the Machine are his biggest supporters ever, and they're playing in Baltimore tonight. If the town is still standing when I wake up tommorrow I shall be pleasantly surpised. Did anyone see the South Park last night, featuring Mr. Hanky's Christmas Classics? The duet between Jesus and Santa was too brilliant to be believed, and every other song was aces as well. I've heard rumors that this is the last season of South Park, and I hope to God that this is not true, because then Nascar and college basketball will be all TV is good for. A female co-worker told me I look like George Harrison circa Rubber Soul...I'm not so certain. I still say Cameron from Ferris Bueller's Day Off is more accurate.

I'm not even the narrow wizard now...I think it's just my real name but oh well. just a brief storry about something that happened yesterday. I was walking round the wonderful Stirling University (thats a joke by the way) when a CD stall which turns up on campus every thursday appeared to be calling me. I wandered over and started flicking through the B section when I came across a bootleg of the paris gig with a lovely picture of Stu M on the front. Not having a recording of this gig I bought the CD which was called Seeing Other People for the rather outrageous sum of 12 pounds. Obviously I put it straight on when I got back to my wooden hut and was greeted by a rather nice version of the boy done wrong again. Near the end of the song though a girl I quite like came round to see if I wanted her to cook for me (silly question really) and so we were going to go round to hers and then she noticed that I had a new CD. "Bring it with you." she said. This is when things started going wrong, very wrong. I hit eject on the CD player and the drawer opened half way and then got stuck with not a CD in sight. So instead of spending some time listening to great music while someone cooked for me I was forced to run to my friends place in order to borrow a screwdriver and then take apart my worryingly expensive CD player in order to remove the stuck CD. Well anyway I got it sorted in the end and the player appears to be working OK but the fact remains that I spent 12 pound on a CD which I dare not play again and had my night ruined because of said CD. So, what have we learned from this story? 1) beware of craply made bootleg CDs 2)don't be affraid to take apart a CD player, even an idiot like me can do it 3)women are not necessarily impressed by a guy who can dismantle a CD player, she buggered off and left me to it. take care, owen aka the narrow wizard +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Message-ID: Things I got free this week ===================== 1. A free Eccles Cake, when I bought a sandwich in our student union shop. It was very tasty, and quite unexpected. The lady just produced the Eccles cake, saying "...and here's your free cake." as if it was the most natural thing in the world. I was confused.  2. Later on I wandered into the union bar to try and get some change for the bus and a lady at the door said to me "hello, are you here for the quiz?". "Er, no." "Oh, well take this anyway" she said, giving me a pink raffle ticket. Pink eighty-six - my luck number. Inside were lots of people, being given free pizza and beer, including me it seemed, before "the quiz". So I ate, and drank all I could, before realising I was the only one who wasn't there for the quiz, and running away. 3. Free money - somehow my student grant has been mis-calculated so I've been given lots of money. Blimey. I was supposed to have been marching for student grants last week with Miss Starry Sarah but I didn't and now I feel twice as guilty as I did anyway. Belle and Sebastian dream ====================== I've been having a few disturbing dreams recently. The most disturbing, even more disturbing than the one about the donkey and Dusty Bin, was the one I had on Wednesday. In it, I was having breakfast, and reading the paper, when I noticed a picture in the showbiz section. It was a picture of Mick and Richard standing next to Mr Homo-erectus himself, Liam Gallager. The headline was "B+S - Oasis concert outrage" and told of the "anger" from B+S at the protests being held about the concert they were going to do with Oasis. Mick was quoted as saying "Basically Liam has had a lot of bad press, he's a really nice bloke and I feel honoured to play with him." Liam said "Aye, an I love me mom, too, you fookin bastards". Arantxa says I think too much about people in bands being "real people". Maybe this is true and I'm worrying about Richard's "showbiz lifestyle". But I do worry, you know. Le Pastie De La Bourgeoisie ======================= I'm in two minds about the protests in Seattle, because although the cause is right, a lot of the protesters are there for the wrong reasons. Here's a quote from yesterday's Independent; "We don't have time to change things non-violently," said a 17-year- old demonstrator called Rain, who said the protesters of the 1960s were too passive. "But property destruction is not violence. It's fun and it gets people's attention." Nice one, Rain, now have a bath. The kids in the U.S. have spent so long without an alternative to capitalism, they know what they're fighting against but they don't know what they're fighting for. That's why they're so full of apathy and violence. So they were marching against capitalism, but they weren't marching for socialism, or communism, or free-love or better shoes or anything like that. Grrr. (Robin pulls an angry face) It's happening in Britain too. So it's a good job I live in the Sinister Nation, isn't it? love Robin +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

I wonder why advertising companies think it's important to have a good soundtrack to sell cars. Surely people are interested in the way a car looks - it's just an accessory after all. You'd look a bit of a twat though getting out of a handbag on the M5 - Taunton Deane Services - You know the one. Maybe they're targeting a specific age-group ? So what car would B&S be used to sell, and more importantly which track ? I'd go for "The Boy Done Wrong Again", selling a Triumph Acclaim deliberately going the wrong way down the A38, ploughing into a few trees, and mowing down a few foxes probably.

Big Kev, your tape is in the post. Big Dave, I've tried and tried and tried, but I can't find your address. This morning I had the bright idea of looking for it on that envelope you sent me that had been used for Grateful Dead merchandise, but it wasn't there. It's just the number and street name and postcode I need. Like most listees, I have the rest of it burned into my very soul. Thai News: Yesterday, thousands of Thai diving skies descended on the nation's capital Bangrak to celebrate the upcoming birthday of the world's longest serving and grooviest monarch. Many thanks to Oon and Adrian for the nice postcard. Much appreciated. Has anyone seen a film called "Claire Dolan"? What a swizz. There was a picture outside of the dad out of "The Snapper" and "The Van" so I went along expecting Martin Conneely style Dublin fun and games, and instead I got an hour and a half of standard Sundance fodder about a mad shagging woman in bloody New York.

I'm sitting in my room with the Amphetameanies up full blast, ignoring my dad yelling to get it down, and my cello, duffel coat, unfinished knitting and school uniform lying at awkward angles all over the place. I mean, I know i was excited to get home from school today (I love fridays!), but I have absolutely no idea how the bow of my cello came to be stuck in the lampshade... It's snowing! And proper snow, not minging stuff that turns into sludge when it hits the ground either but real, icing sugar, fairy-land snow!!! And enough to make snowballs. And I've nearly finished my scarf, so I'll be able to wear it on monday to school, and embarrass all my friends. My Tigermilk poster arrived at last. My dad says it's pornographic, and I shouldn't have it up, but um...well...stuff him! He just has something against Struan. He's very insulting. My mum's away for the weekend, but I think she'll like it, because belle and sebastian are her favourite group too. Which is kind of queer, but it means I can listen to them in the car without complaints. A boy i know found out who i like and told everyone. He announced to the computing class "george fancies johnathon", which was doubley hurtful, because I'm not overly fond of people making references to my supposed resemblance to a famous five character. Also Johnathon's best friend was in that class. So i'm really really mad, especially since he's relly cool, and hansome and funny and everyone likes him, and I'm a bit of the opposite. Also, people keep pretending to warm their hands on my hair, and when I insist on the fact that it's auburn, I get "aye, aw burnin' ". It really IS auburn though. Leaky's post made me laugh so much! But could someone tell me what a dildo is. I have a rough idea, but I'm not sure.

I just hatched! I am really hung over so I am gonna make it short, or not...ok, I am Colleen, I live in San Francisco, oh and I am 24..most people call me "crack" (my friends think I am too skinny) anyways, my primate friend turned me on to B&S about uhh hmm a year ago, since then the guy in the apartment next to me has called the police on me twice and I have had the manager banging on my door in the middle of the night yelling, telling me to turn down the music or he was going to evict me. They are just jealous. You know what's funny is the time the police actully came to my place, I had been at my local bar right before last call and these three guys came in and we started talking, come to find out they had the same taste in music,bands, etc.(which is rare) so we ended up getting pies at like 3 am and going back to my place to listen to music and drink some wine, then at about 5am I got the call that the police were downstairs..ironic. I wonder what ever happened to those guys? o-well, I gotta go, I need a cigarette!

The women who interviewed me was very nice but insisted on asking lots of difficult questions that i was forced to invent answers for. The reckless part of my mind wanted to, after something a friend of mine said, insert various lyrics into my answers. I tried to stop myself because I want the job but the temptation to slip in "If there's one thing that i learnt when i was still a child..." almost proved too great. In the end I settled for "it's got to beeeeeee perfect" (though obviously I didn't sing). I hope she was impressed. Now that the business world is beckoning I must paraphrase Nicky Wire when talking about the WTO riots: They(the protestors) perform no worthwhile task in society and should be rounded up and put on an island. yours capitalistly Paul It's a question of semantics. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Message-ID: First of all, sorry Honey and everyone else, as there's absolutely zero B&S content here... I hardly ever post, so please indulge my intrusion for a brief sec. Two topics though: 1. I've already posted this somewhere else, but have not had much response, so I thought one or two of you might be interested. I'm doing an interview with Solex next Thursday (at her CD shop). Along with my own mundane questions, I was thinking of giving other people a chance to ask something. If there's anything you want to find out, please send it in, and I'll be sure to ask her when I see her. I'll also mail you the interview when it's done then... I plan on asking some 20 questions, and please send them to me by Monday, if you can. 2. Also, anyone knowing of a good webzine - or print, for that matter, please read on... After writing for a big German mag for a while and now moving to Amsterdam this week, I'm looking for someone who is interested in a few (free, of course) articles and reviews. If you know of a good forum (opinionated, diverse, updated regularly, etc.), please let me know. As an example, that interview could be one of the pieces, along with gig reviews of the Beta Band and Super Furries the week after. Also, CD/album reviews, film, lit, etc. Please contact me if you're interested (along with any other questions you might have...). OK, that's enough of that for another few months.

My email has gone totally arse over tit again, and it'll be a miracle if this gets through. (Not a very spiritually meaningful one, admittedly.) This was in the times on Saturday, in a guide to what books to give for Xmas: ************************ If your recipient’s tastes encompass brooding creative types and “intelligent pop musicâ€, the dark yet gentle Nalda Said (Imp, £7.99), the debut from Stuart David, bass player with Belle & Sebastian, is a must. The narrator is a hospital gardener who believes he had a bizarre secret pressed upon him by a woman called Nalda during an unsettling childhood. Working at a hospice, he falls in love with a nurse, whom he eventually confides in. The first few chapters of this modern parable were posted on the website for Looper, David’s pop project (www.treehouse.clara.net/), then snapped up by Imp. David is said to have a stockpile of unfinished writing which may emerge in the next year. *********************** Huh. If I had a pound (or a large advance) for every bit of 'unfinished writing' I've got which 'may emerge in the next year', I'd be a rich woman. I wonder what the rest of Stuart's output will be like. On balance, I think I'd rather he publish his thoughts in book form than as Looper records. Meanwhile, I had a dream last night that he and I were taking turns to read from Nalda Said on Radio 4, on Book at Bedtime or something. My first B&S dream. Another first: my train was replaced with a bus service yesterday. I never normally get buses. But I was quite pleased to be getting this one as I had B&S on my walkman. So I have now done the proper thing and listened to them on a bus, and it was a Good Plan. Dreams aside, my social life is still less exciting than my grandmother’s, although she’s going to something called a ‘widow’s party’ soon, which admittedly doesn’t sound like a barrel of laughs. I've decided that in the new year I will move out, whatever happens. I may draw a new city to live in out of a hat, so if anyone wants to nominate their home town, let me know. Dreading Christmas, Archel xxx ps: i don't know where those capitals came from all of a sudden. i feel like i've changed my identity. that's better... ************* Rachel Playforth archel at iname.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

The singer sounds like a 1940s public schoolboy with a bunged up nose trying to reach the sky with a painfully embarassing falsetto, but the guitaring was interesting. Thats the best way I have of describing it. The Clientele are a group who should be filmed in crackly black and white wearing suits. And I hate the way that my descriptions of them are meant to sound nasty, but instead sound quite good. The jury is still recommending that the Clientele are bobbins, but...grudingly at some point may change this opinion, even though it doesn't want to. Am I tying myself up in knots here? The police told me I had to stop that, hur hur fnnurrr..... it occurs to me I am trying to over intellectualise the matter of Beat Combos. Never mind, I don't do much these days... But anyway! The "unique" (bobbins) singing style of the Clientele songstrel got me thinking as regards my OWN beat combo which will be established one of these days. I decided that my OWN beat combo needs a unique singing style. You have the unpronouncable but oh so searing SOUL of Kevin Rowlands, the lisping softness of Stuart Smirnoff, and the so unique you can't even HEAR it vocal mannerisms of the lovely H from Steps. Nevertheless, I don't know who will sing in my band yet. It may be me. I will play guitars very very fast. I supose I should get a plectrum. Or would that be being a bigsmellyboringmusictosspot? Or would it just mean I would improve my 'technique'? I think I should now improve my getting out of this room technique and go and buy gloves.

We had a little B&S meetup not too long ago at my apartment and my little kitten, Etta, still misses all of you. Then this wonderful person had an all things Jeepster night and lil'angel blackwell here had fun, even though there were a lot of people. (But after a coupla pints I was a dancing fool with diana.)

It's an American invention, 'cuz Jewish kids felt cheated that all their Chretien friends got loaded up around the same time. So. I will make some wishes, because dreams are free, motherfucker. 1)Man, I wish I had a middle name. Something I could use instead of my fucking first name. Honey, can I =have= a middle name? 2)I'd love to see Belle and Sebastian cover "Lesbian Seagull" (One of the really great Van Driessen songs on Beavis and Butthead). 3) I wish I knew what I looked like when I talk. I'd probably shut up more. 4) I wish Leonard Cohen would drop the Buddhism already and make another damn album. 5) I want to meet a girl who hasn't been raped, abused, or otherwise traumatized in childhood so that she thinks sex is power. Then I'd like the two of us to get it on with a stripper. I've given up on true love, this will do. 6)Please, God, let me pass my internal medicine test in six hours. 7)If we can lose a probe on Mars, we should be able to come up with a cancer-free cigarette. Failing that, at least some Herbal Ecstasy that works. 8)Okay, my wishes are getting totally preposterous. I was going to wish I was a bird, but scratch that. And the Stooges just aren't going to reunite, and I accept that. So... uhhh... I wish, you know, happy holidays to everyone. There. I shared. Take care, all. -Eran P.S. I'll dance on that list crush site's fucking grave. What an awful thing to introduce to the most insecure conglomeration of people in the universe. And damn it, where did my old votes go.

Message-ID: Th other night I was in Button Moon, I've told you all about it already and because I am such a smashing PR person for them , they have put Belle and Sebastian on their playlist and they played it twice...in the one night! I know some DJ played B&S all night one night in the MEan Fiddler but I think that was because she left the house in a rush and forgot all her other stuff. It was my first time hearing them in a club and it was brilliant, fab, cool, deadly etc. I know this is more PR but really Button Moon is great. They play Belle and Sebastian. Wowsers. And one of the grisl who runs it used to go out with someone who produced the Lazy Line Painter Jane Ep. He knows lots of secrets about them and told her and she told me and when I tried to "inform" the list, I got in trouble for rumourmongering. On a less happy note, I failed my Greek test today and like JenOwl my dad thought me Tigermilk poster was pornographic and insisted that I take it down this minute. But... I protested. I'm after l;ugging it half way across the Irish sea, please don't make me take it down. And then when I nipped off down to the shops for some biscuits my dad crept into my room brandishing a large domestic scissors and went choppity chop chop and the girls half hidden boobs fell into the wastepaper bin which I had foolishly placed in close proximity to the poster and now there is a blank space on the wall where I am trying to fill it up with things to do lists but am having great difficulty on account of it being a full size poster.

I must say I'm very tired and that stumbling around in a stumbly type daze can make many common or garden variety objects a potential death trap. I've already had to witness one of my colleagues fall out of a chair. Which is quite some achievement really. And I nearly got run over by one of those push bicyle devices whilst crossing the road, it came from nowhere! Well actually it proably came roughly from where I hadn't looked. Aren't those bells on bikes so threatening when they tinkle at you? I was really quite tinkled. This weekend I saw the Field Mice, sort off, for roughly 3 minutes. Which was a bit ace really, and it was free, and it was appended to a wonderful collection of acoustically strummed Trembling Blue Stars songs, and it had 3 intros only one of which worked. Trembling Bob was joined by Harvey Williams, who also seemed to teach forgettful Bob the chords, for an encore of The Field Mouses "If I Need Someone". I think, if I remember right, as I was probably over burdened with cheap Turkish beer at the time. Anyway it was all the Christmas presents I'll ever need Santa, except maybe for some of those Pokemon thingys that I look so out of place in the playground without. Actually, that may not be why I look out of place in a playground. Anyhow, I think I'm going to find the nearest furniture store now and test a bed or too out and catch a few z's. I hope they don't mind, or I wake up with an Oasis album as that could be briefly embarrassing. Ho hum... 5 'o' clock seems a long way away...

Here is what I discovered: 1. I was a bit disappointed by the fact that one of my favorite record stores in Ann Arbor finally got around to stocking every Belle and Sebastian release on vinyl, even though it was a year too late for me. I'm not the kind of person who is going to redundantly buy an LP if I have it on CD, but I have an affinity for vinyl and enjoy playing records, and would prefer that my collection were like that. This was compunded by the fact that I gave a friend of mine a copy of the Boy With the Arab Strap on LP for Hannukah, something that I wish I had on LP myself. 2. While I will not claim that it is a better sport than ice hockey, I have a new respect for football. I bought FIFA 99 for my Playstation yesterday and it is now my favorite game. All I have to say is that it is bloody well difficult to score goals. And while I can usually kick the stuffing out of my NHL 99 game, I have a hard time when I play my English Football League season. So I take back anything I ever said about football being boring because it is damned well exciting! 3. My initial post about the WTO was not intended to start a class war, but then again, I wasn't expecting to find so many unabashed capitalists on this list. Anyway, I'm sorry if I stepped on toes, but since I went to school 7 years ago, I have forgotten how to understand the logic behind the capitalist mentality. It's just the way I am, sorry. This reminds me. On Saturday, when I was in Ann Arbor, all of the charities were out, hoping to convince shoppers to give. I gave to the children of Washtenaw County and the Salvation Army, and then was approached by a kid trying to sell candy. I asked my friend why people kept asking us for stuff and he said we "probably looked like suckers who would give." So we decided that if we wanted to get out of giving money to charities we should just claim that we were "republicans who didn't go for those crazy social programs." 4. Mumia Abu-Jamal was NOT executed on Friday night. He was granted a stay of execution in late October. Fortunately for him, he is too "famous" to be executed. This is because, as said before, if he dies, Philly will probably burn to the ground and go with him. Okay, I should probably get to work. Thanks for listening.

Message-ID: <19991206161357.76841.qmail@hotmail.com> Eran said something to the effect of "I wish i knew what i lokked like when i talk. I'd probably shut up more" I think the same thing almost every day, especially given my chronic sense of timing. I really do feel that my mouth should have a label saying 'insert foot here' somewhere in its vicinity, if only to remind me to button it at every possible oppurtunity thus avoiding severe embarrassment and possible offence. Typing of which, i was complimented on my eyes the other week - the person concerned not having seen me without my glasses before, slightly worrying as he's the boyfriend of a friend of mine [they're both goths by the by, and lovely people - they just scare the daylights out of the people i'm forced to live with, much to my amusement and silent mirth], and neither he nor i are that way inclined, but it was nice of him to say anyhow. B+S content? Well, theres a first time for everything, and i still think 'Judy and the dream of horses' is the best song they've recorded, it lightens my soul which can't be said of many things [most of which aren't P!O!P! in the least]. I still wonder, rather pointlessly i may add, whether the *Judy* in that is the same one as is mentioned in 'The Rollercoaster ride' - "...shes a mastermind" . I very much suspect its another of those meaningless coincidenses of it just fitting the song, but its nice to imagine.

I much rather have been a facist than a killer. Alas, such is life. I do love names though. Garions and (thanks to the list) Garreths make me weak in the knees. As far as last names, I have picked up a disturbing habit from one of my roommates this summer. Each time I hear someone's last name, I put it with my first name. Once, I even became quite excited about meeting this one guy because his last name was Holmes. I thought, "Oooh, if we had kids I could call them the 'little holmies' !" Disturbing, I know but I was so amused by this. I also really like the way that Laura Tinsley sounds. Unfortunately, this is my grandmother's maiden name. Even though, I live in a small rural town in North Carolina where it's like Einstein's said, "All relative", I think I'll stay away from that name. As for Stuart Murdoch, I am still *swooning*. Even with James Thornilley's post of, "just noticed the other day that Laura has decided to go off with Stewart. Stewart being a complete wanker and Laura being quite a nice girl. If I wasn't so shy and polite I'd give her a slap." Well, slap my ass and call me a donkey!!! Why I never. Can you imagine the audacity of Mr. Thornilley... Calling me nice?? Sheesh, what is this world coming to? Of course, I came to discover that he wasn't talking about me at all and it was about 2 people at his school. It just happened to coincide with my drooling over Stu on the list. So, my rep is ruined yet. *WheW* Since my "I love autumn!" post there have been quite a few people enumerating the negative parts of the season. Not since Jimmy Carter has a basically good thing been so trashed. Sadness really. Alas, fall is over and so it's time to move on. Of course, I can never think of it as Winter until January. Before then, it's just Christmas - a season unto itself. Yes, contemplating of this season will lead one to pose the question: Who is the one person, out there, who is seperating happiness and joy out there in the world? Dr. Seuss? Mmmm, no. Stuart Murdoch??? Perhaps, but not who I was thinking of. No, its Santa Claus!! And what is Laura Llew hoping that ole' Saint Nick will bring her this year. Well, at the top of her list (besides the witty, intelligent, book adoring, pixies and b&s loving dark hair boy) is a new pair of running shoes. Mmmm yay. They're dreamy really - grey New Balances. Oh, I can feel them on my feet already. So, the list crush site is coming to an end, eh? I would like to remind any of you last minute top of the polls grapplers - that my list crush is for sell. Just send me free music. And if you get me B&S's ep material on cd, well I might just have to really like you. Personally, I was quite disappointed to find that LAURA LLEW's LIST LUST only amounts to 4 votes. *sigh* Ok ok so I'm actually quite astounded. If these are 4 separate individuals than Sinister is a bit more phreaky than even Stuart David would have guessed. (Though whoever on the list who was complaining about SD being so stuck up should remember that he is married. I hear it's quite the disease.) I would vote for someone on the list crush but they don't post with any frequency and I would fear they would know it was me. And where would that put me? Exactly where I am now. Laura 'meeting all of your Laura Llew needs since 1977' ps - I don't plan on dreaming of anyone from Belle and Sebastian until they dream of me. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

After much research and labour I found it. The reason why I thought this might be of interest is the rythem of the poem. It's almost fun trying to say the ryhming cuplets in each paragraph. I hope Honey doesn't send me into the corner but it's such a lovely poem. Not mainly because of it's content but, oh, just get yer tong around it, it's better than oral sex. The Raven Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore - While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. 'Tis some visiter,' I muttered, 'tapping at my chamber door - Only this and nothing more.' Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December; And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. Eagerly I wished the morrow; - vainly I had sought to borrow From my books surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the lost Lenore - For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore - Nameless here for evermore. And the silken, sad, uncertain rustling of each purple curtain Thrilled me - filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before; So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating 'Tis some visiter entreating entrance at my chamber door - Some late visiter entreating entrance at my chamber door; - This it is and nothing more.' Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer, 'Sir,' said I, 'or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore; But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping, And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door, That I scarce was sure I heard you' - here I opened wide the door; Darkness there and nothing more. Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before; But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token, And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, 'Lenore!' This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word 'Lenore!' Merely this and nothing more. Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning, Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before. 'Surely,' said I, 'surely that is something at my window lattice; Let me see, then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore - Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore; - 'Tis the wind and nothing more!' Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter In there stepped a stately Raven of the saintly days of yore. Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he; But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door - Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door - Perched, and sat, and nothing more. Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling, By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore, 'Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,' I said, 'art sure no craven, Ghastly grim and ancient Raven wandering from the Nightly shore - Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!' Quoth the Raven 'Nevermore.' Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly, Though its answer little meaning - little relevancy bore; For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird above his chamber door - Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust above his chamber door, With such name as 'Nevermore.' But the Raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour. Nothing farther then he uttered - not a feather then he fluttered - Till I scarcely more than muttered 'Other friends have flown before - On the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before.' Then the bird said 'Nevermore.' Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken, 'Doubtless,' said I, 'what it utters is its only stock and store Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful Disaster Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden bore - Till the dirges of his Hope that melancholy burden bore Of 'Never - nevermore.' But the Raven still beguiling all my fancy into smiling, Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird and bust and door; Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore - What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt, and ominous bird of yore Meant in croaking 'Nevermore.' This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into my bosom's core; This and more I sat divining, with my head at ease reclining On the cushion's velvet lining that the lamp - light gloated o'er, But whose velvet violet lining with the lamp - light gloating o'er, She shall press, ah, nevermore! Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer Swung by Seraphim whose foot - falls tinkled on the tufted floor. 'Wretch,' I cried, 'thy God hath lent thee - by these angels he hath sent thee Respite - respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore; Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe and forget this lost Lenore!' Quoth the Raven 'Nevermore.' 'Prophet!' said I, 'thing of evil! prophet still, if bird or devil! - Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore, Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted - On this home by Horror haunted - tell me truly, I implore - Is there - is there balm in Gilead? - tell me - tell me, I implore!' Quoth the Raven 'Nevermore.' 'Prophet!' said I, 'thing of evil! - prophet still, if bird or devil! By that Heaven that bends above us - by that God we both adore Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn, It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore - Clasp a rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore.' Quoth the Raven 'Nevermore.' 'Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!' I shrieked, upstarting - 'Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore! Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken! Leave my loneliness unbroken! - quit the bust above my door! Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!' Quoth the Raven 'Nevermore.' And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door; And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming, And the lamp - light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor; And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor Shall be lifted - nevermore!

Message-ID: <010101bf4033$24a58400$3e3fac3e@default> Sisters of Curtsey, I opened the 6th door on my STAR WARS Advent Calendar today. Yet again the chocolate was exactly the same design: a rectangle with the star wars logo printed on it. What a sham! No bells, no partridge, no five gold rings. Just the star wars logo. Where is the christmas spirit in that? Nowhere, I tell you. My good for nuthin' brother ate a whole advent calendar in one sitting once. Cardboard and everything. That was before he became a stinking Skinny Student. Talking of which WELCOME BACK MARCUS! (and natasha). I'm very excited Miss Alix Campbell and Starry Sarah are djing at the next tigermilking, the former even asked to borrow my shangri-la's cd. I havent HIT THE TOWN or indeed hit the floor in so long, I've almost fogotten how. An advance apology for outlandish dance moves. The latter said: >The Clientele are a >group who should be filmed in crackly black and white wearing suits Ooh, you know, that sounds rather good. It's rather a shame I couldn't bring myself to brave london on saturday night. It's hard work being Sinister's Fancy Piece. I go away for five minutes and Ally's asking people to vote for me to get my tits out. The list crush soon to be nothing more than a distant memory, I'm dusting off my crown and putting it back in it's case. It was too heavy anyway, it kept falling off and hitting my poor little feet. If you've voted for me, I'd suggest you tell me quick, as I'm only snogging popstars in the year 2000. Fiona said: >someone in the cluster was sending them with cryptic messages on. the >first couple just said hi, he/she/it offered to tell me about their day if i was >interested, but the final straw came with 'would you like me to come >over so you can at least tell me to get lost?' the person was >definitely in the room. i logged out and ran. Oh fiona! havent you *seen* Pretty In Pink? I'm so glad Hefner are wooing america too. I knew you'd love them. I wish they'd hurry up and bring that compliation out. It's got such a fantastic cover.

Time to squeeze in another introduction? Go on. Actually I had this lovely introduction all written out nice and proper - lots of references to all your mails and stuff - but now I'm finally able to talk it somehow doesn't feel right to send it. So instead you get this rushed job, speeded up by the painful coldness in this student flat somewhere in Newcastle.... best make sure I start work on my scarf and cardigan later. A little about me: Another student. Studying art here in Newcastle. I painted a pretty little abstract picture for a friends auction the other day and I was quite pleased it made £5... then that damn Ruth Waters got £35 for her painting of a boat (which was CYNICALY and LAZILY painted over the top of a photocopied photograph anyway) so damn this art thing. It was a sailing boat though so I could sorta see why it should be so preciously valued and Ruth is `4real`... so they say. And I aspire to being ace bass player (Hooky like) and songwriter extrodinare. `Salon Kitty` is our groups name, but if anyone can think of anything cool in the way of band names we're still open for ideas. Keep them a little bit brutal and squalid though. And thats about that. No mention of a certain 8 piece group, I know but perhaps if I save my all thoughts on this subject up for bedtime I'll eventually have my special Fox In The Snow dream. Night-night.

Rah. Okay, so I never meant it to happen, but I had a fox in the snow dream. I was in a club somewhere in my subconscious and I was wearing a red and blue t-shirt with geometric designs and comicbook superhero stuff on it - I called it my "fox in the snow t-shirt". Then I ran into a guy wearing the same t-shirt, but in reverse colours with slight changes to the drawing. We talked, but then found each other boring and walked away. And that is all. No band members, nuthin. That's all today, no political rants or insight at all really. And to top it off, I have to tell you to visit a site about really bad hair: http://www.mulletsgalore.com/ It's absolute brilliance. Okay, it's a little evil, but it's damn funny.

Vote for me while the board still breathes, and I'll show my tits even if Erica won't. I do push-ups now, you now... My friend and I successfully killed a party for the first time this weekend, on purpose of course. Someone decided to put us in control of the CD player around midnight, which was a mistake of the highest order given that we were the only two drunks ones there and we didn't know anyone. The previous DJ had been playing Sublime and that dumb-ass limbo song all night, so we felt the need to spice the party up a bit...enter Metallica's "One." After the initial gunshot blasts and helicopter sounds on the intro, the entire party stopped and wondered what the hell was going on. Then once the main riff started, the pulse of the party went flat. James Hetfield killed the party. It was hilarious watching teeny-boppers trying to acclimate from "Limbo up and limbo down" to "Landmine has taken my sight, taken my speech, taken my hearing" etc., in a way that said "hey, this kind of crap goes on at every party, man...I'm hip." We were subsequently relieved of our duties. Are we going to try to coordinate some Sinister movement to celebrate the New Year, or more correctly, to welcome Y2K? How about getting knackered...I think we can all live with that.

Message-ID: well hello again. long time no write. so tonight a friend asked me what "twee" meant. i tried to explain, and tried to tell her where it came from, but having no true definition or any of that, i sucked it up and looked at the merriam-websters dictionary that resides on my NeXT computer (which sits in our living room). sure enough, there it was. said something about it being excessively cute or something like that. said it was used primarily by the british and is baby-talk for "sweet." sounds good to me. then, sitting on my ass in front of the computer, dry, dirty vodka martini in hand (the second of the night) i check my mail to find an email from the loverly andreea who is throwing a belle and sebbie party this weekend. i had written to ask when, where, and what time it was happening. and whether or not i should bring booze. lots and lots of booze. she offhandedly remarks that it's on saturday, at 9pm, and that a boy from Amherst college named christian will be there with some friends. he had asked if she knew me. i'm assuming he's on this list, so, hello christian, i'll see you on saturday. i've been wondering for, oh, the past two years why you haven't called. are you too cool for me now? well, here's to a good saturday night. i can guarantee i'll be looking quite fabulous (as i usually do, not to toot my own horn. thank my grandmother and her breasts for that. speaking of, honey -- you'll be getting a shot of my lurvely rack for the sinister body part page just as soon as i can scan it). but, since i'm guessing he's on this list, i'll spare you the retelling of my reaction when i read that so casually he'd be making an appearance at this party. mymymy. glad to see the wu-ness has subsided, it was getting my goat a bit. but i'll refrain from making any more comments about it. as you've probably noted, i'm a bit hammered right now. vodka goes to me head pretty fast. and hello teri darling, got your postcard. i'm thinking about joining you at the pill one of these friday nights, but am afeard that jon will be there, as he's told me that he and ariel go. we're not exactly on the best of terms right now, as i've been kissing boys frequently, and he hasn't. so, since this is my first post in many a moon, i guess you deserve more than just drunken ramblings about boys named christian and the definition of twee. but, alas, i have nothing more to say. except that i got my grant for my thesis, and $500 more than i had planned. which i don't know what i'll do with. and now my mouth has gone numb from all the alcohol and cigarettes. ick. i suppose my hands are next. oh, wait, yes they are. my, that's an odd feeling . . . -kerry "my face is leaving in 15 minutes and you'd better be on it" -title of a too much light makes the baby go blind play +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Noh) Date: Tue, 7 Dec 1999 03:11:48 -0500 (EST) Subject: Sinister: bitterness Message-ID: Like Mark C. I couldn't tell which poem is Rachel's and which is her friend's, but I sure would like to know. Only on account of the mention of breasts, my simple-minded association of poet and speaker, and the assumption that Billy is a boy's name, I would guess that Rachel wrote "Holiday Romance". Now to find out that the reverse is true would be an unexpected and welcome insight. One couldn't have better luck than to have a last name like Playforth, for celebrity. The language in "Holiday Romance" seems more condensed, while the poetry in "On Turning Ten" seems to be more in the juxtaposition of images and ideas. I like both approaches very much; I guess it depends on what you are trying to achieve, as well as personal style, taste, etc. "Natural" talent seems a tremendous thing to have and makes me sceptical of writing programs, though I'm sure they do make a better poet or writer of one. The lines about the bath in "String Bean Jean" just passed me by, though I've sung along to it often enough. I guess it was the shock of the last verse: 7 to 8 years old for children is probably about 60 pounds (sorry, don't know the conversion to stone). That means in the bath Jo would have to be on his side and he would have to buoy her up to prevent her bones from scraping against the bath - well the water would be enough for that. I like how the names are androgynous. Well it's revealed that Jo is a girl but Phil' could be short for Philip or for Phyllis, couldn't it? Or even Philomena. And if she weighs 60 pounds, I don't think she could be "on the rag". Poetic license is fine of course. And Brandt, a while ago I wrote some things about "feminine sensibility", which were an embarrassment, and I agree with the points you mentioned. I meant something like I would guess that Stuart has a sister and that they were close while they were growing up. But it was overstated and I'm probably wrong. I guess _High Fidelity_ is as good a book as any for Belle & Sebastian to contribute a song to the film version of, and maybe things will be expressed better in the film than in the book, but there is something fundamentally wrong with it! The basic idea is all right, but the author only gets out of it by making a joke of music. Imagine if the conflict were between "real life" and some other form of art. Comedy is fine, but I have the hunch that it will be filled with cliches. Here is what Alistair Fitchett has to say about it (thanks again Alasdair!): ... it is what lies beyond the obsessive collation and collecting that matters most. To take strength from something which shows you to be less isolated than you at first thought, to take inspiration from that and to then say, 'I will create something new of my own, will set my own spirit in flight', to add someting new and unique to the story. The battle then remains, of course, as the battle of personal demons and doubts, but at least they are the demons and doubts of your own soul and not the surrogate demons of another. The context in which I've quoted it makes it sound preachy (the tone of my writing), but it's not in the text. Sorry about that. In _1984_ I wonder if George Orwell meant to claim that popular music had value apart from nostalgic value. I like very much how Arantxa mentions frequently in her posts that she is a physics student. It is important to be confident and to believe in what you are doing. In fields dominated by men it must be especially daunting. I wonder in what sense Stuart claims to have perfected the student lifestyle. To be unsettled and always to live for the future? Well I guess the last thing is something he must have conquered. The things he says in the chat from long ago suggest that. Only people like me who can't deal with the uncertainty imposed by a distant seemingly unattainable goal handle it that way. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Message-ID: <0.dcd337d8.257dc1df@aol.com> wow..... i don't know what to say about all the WTO stuff.... not living far from Seattle myself, and having a ton of friends up there (my friends dad works in the Key Tower and he was locked inside for four days - no one could get in or out!), i think it all went a bit awry.... really at the end of the day we (Americans) should be asking why we're letting foreign dictators - who weren't even elected and run their countries like madame's run brothels - tell us how to handle international trade.... at the end of the day, i think our generation is pretty bored, and we all need something to shout about...... more importantly - is it true that Martin McGuinness was elected Secratary of Education? is that just for the Irish Parliament? man, on man..... here's another question - doesn't it seem the least bit absurd that Americans are commonly under some kind of notion that they Irish-American? for starters most of the Irish who moved to America weren't the upstanding citizens of society people assume they were.... but never mind... trying to explian that concept to your average American is like trying to get a donkey to dance..... most people who make such a bold statement to me are more than bewildered when i ask them how they feel about the Potato Famine, or Bloody Sunday, or if they speak any Gaelic..... that is usually followed by a reference on their behalf to U2...... my father was born in Northern Ireland and until recent years had a tatoo of the Red Fist on his arm..... he still lives there.... do i think i'm Irish-American? no..... my Irish friends who live in Ireland are.... i'm kind of a hy-brid, and as much as i might not always like being American, it's a handicap i can overcome without stealing the nationalist identity of someone else's country.... i may be wrong, but that is my opinion.... to my way of thinking there really is no such thing - seeing as how most Americans i know think Gerry Adams is a "nice man".... mind you, we actually voted for Bill Clinton not once but TWICE AND OJ Simpson is innocent...... too much money and not enough common intelligence to strike a match.... anyway.... i would LOVE anyone's thoughts on the so-called Irish-American crap and also on the McGuinness issue - if it weren't for FOX News, i would know nothing about foreign politics.... we're too busy covering yet ANOTHER school shooting - the kid was 13, doesn't know who he shot or why he did it, he just did..... great, i feel safe.... snoggs elle +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Hope that parragraph above didnt' turn out too disturbed.One of the singers,formerly of this list,told me my messages sound very disturbed.Oh no.I should take Yoga.

IYFS was spinning and then everything became eden like, and serene. But it was too green, like a French surrealist film. Fog everywhere, and the trees had no true form, I just knew there were trees. There were people there as well, but only Isobel was truly discernable, and I'm not sure why. She's the only little beauty that I have a clear picture of right now, and in the mist and greenery, she shone. I don't like dreaming, because as in life, nothing happens. Everything remains in half light and nothing can be seen in it's true form. Or it's about the ocean and water, and that scares me more than anything. I think it's debbie's fault that I dreamt this, as she's the one who gave me a copy of all the B&S videos. Yes I blame her, and I miss her. I will see her on Friday, Stereolab will be here and my birthday will be over. the angel blackwell PS I'm feeling a little adventurous today, I'm gonna scan a photo in of my tattoos...you need some more fleshy bit up to see...heehee. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Actually, I've been reliably informed that the 101 Dalmations one contains both milk AND white chocolates, so that outdoes both of us, doesn't it? Well, hello and glad tidings to you all! No snow yet, but it's blooming cold outside. Probably a good job that there's no snow because London snows, though romanticised by Suede if I remember correctly, just turn into a horrible poo-brown sludge after a couple of hours. Nonetheless, my nose tingles and glows rosy when I step outside and I'm feeling so festive I'm even considering sending Christmas cards this year. I haven't quite got around to thinking about shopping, but it's no fun unless you leave it until Christmas Eve now, is it? I'm jealous of those of you able to have B&S dreams. I can't dream at all, at least not in this country. I can dream abroad, especially when I'm sleeping high up. Last time I was in Italy, my hotel room was on the fourth floor of a hotel in the old part of Bergamo which is right on top of a high hill (in other words, I was very high up) and I dreamt I was in a kitchen where a kind man was making chocolates. (Could I make up this bit and say it was monsieur Murdoch? No? Oh well). He had big pans full of melted chocolate on the stove and he kept feeding me spoonfuls. And do you know what? I could still taste the chocolate in my mouth when I woke up. That was most enjoyable, I can tell you. I've just read this message back to myself and it sounds a bit posh. Not sure what to make of that. It seems mullet-mania has hit various parts of the media - I've seen three different websites plus numerous magazine articles in the past month. Plus a mullet make-over with that hairdresser bloke on Richard and Judy. He got a couple of housewives and gave them a modern mullet. And very nice they looked too. Am I right in thinking that the Beastie Boys are responsible for these shenanigans? Didn't their magazine have an entire issue devoted to Michael Bolton's ex-haircut of choice? I blame you, Beasties! Right, that's all. I'm cooking cous-cous for friends tonight. Yum and, indeed, yum.

Message-ID: Glasgow, SCOTLAND (SK)--Cellist for the Brit Award winning band Belle and Sebastian, Isobel Campbell, has been found wandering in the highlands. Her abduction a few months earlier had been blamed on squirrel nationlists upset at her portrayal of woodland life on her album as the Gentle Waves. Her absence had not been remarked upon by friends or bandmates as they thought 'she was having a mood'. Irish American hybrid Elle Zober noticed the departure from the Northwestern US. She alerted the British pop media which gained the interest of former Spice Girl and UN Goodwill Ambasador Geri Halliwell. Geri: "All pop divas must stick together. Diva Power, y'know?'. Friends and neighbors of Ms Zober were shocked and delighted at her friendship and involvement with the band as she had never mentioned it to them before. Geri rallied All Saints, Cher, Celine, etc. to form a raiding party; Isobel was located gnawing on bark somewhere near Dundee. Geri is also releasing a benefit single entitled 'Girls and Squirrels and Girl Squirrels', apparently a frisky Latin number.

If this is the general mail I sent to Sinister re. Wu-Tangs, I still love you all! I just do the occasional mummy nudge, please no-one take it personally. No-one needs to apologise ON the list for anything unless they break all Stuart Murdoch's fingers in an accident at a fun-fair, or eat peanut butter. If you do anything you think is a mite naughty, the best way is to send something luscious and lovely to read to us all the next time round. Rules for living a happy life: (1) Be kind (2) Never don't go to a Billy Bragg concert (3) Eat more chocolate. Finally, a good few list members seem to be having problems mailing the list recently: this is usually because, having graduated from the nursery, you find your email program has your email address specificied in a slightly different but ultimately just as meaningful version to the one you subscribed with. Computers don't know that though, and just think you're one of the great unwashed from outside these city walls - ALL you have to do is look up your membership on the Sinister page and change it, as per instructions on the FAQ page at: http://www.majordomo.net/sinister/faq.html or having read them, if you're none the wiser mail ME. Everyone with a current list subscription who has joined more than two weeks ago should be able to post so please yell if you need help. OK? OK.

Ok, first off, Lola the Embryonic Crusadah's post made me laugh. I think that, for the time being, I love her. There is nothing in the world funnier than people who fall down. Especially unwittingly, due to poorly arranged skateboards. Also, I too have always wondered what's up with the "what's up" greeting. The recipient either says nothing, or gives some smart ass answer. Me: Hey pal, what's up? Them: Nothin' or Me: Hey pal, what's up? Them: The stock market!! (followed by a chuckle and a snort) And more often than not, I don't really give a dry fart. My life today feels very much as if it were being written by someone with a complex. Or maybe a simplex. An example: Me: (on the telephone) I'd like to schedule a UPS pick up this afternoon please. Them: What are you shipping today? Me: A stuffed animal. Them: Have you been made aware of UPS's guidelines regarding the shipping of stuffed animals? Me: (long pause), huh? Them: (repeats question) Me: (another long pause) You have guidelines for shipping stuffed animals? Them: (reads guidelines for shipping stuffed animals) do you have any other questions? Me: (short pause) Um..., no. Can I have someone pick up my shipment today? Them: No sir. We cannot schedule pickups here. Me: (starting to get dizzy) What? Them: You'd have to call 800-blah,blah,blah to schedule a pick-up today. But now it's too late, because that office closed five minutes ago. You'll have to call them tomorrow. (I suppose this would be more pertinent if it were a dog on wheels, but it was only a stuffed deer.) That's mostly how my day has gone so far. I put at least some of the blame on the Sundance Channel for showing Meeting People Is Easy last night. I watched in awe as Radiohead suffered through an oppressive schedule of flashbulbs and microphones and hotel rooms. I remembered seeing their concert in New York City, sitting a stones throw away from Marilyn Manson who, inexplicably, was up in the balcony with the rest of us. The movie was very unsettling, and I spent a good deal of time afterwards sitting on my comfy chair putting on, then removing, a stocking cap that I bought in Wyoming. Then I sat in my bed and learned the chords to Fake Plastic Trees, and then to Judy and the Dream of Horses, and finally to Get Me Away From Here I'm Dying. I should have gone to sleep at that point, but I didn't, and ended up writing in my journal until daybreak, when I sat on my front porch and watched the sunrise and wished that I still smoked cigarettes. Now, sleep deprived and malnourished, my day is resembling a weeklong Mekong Whiskey binge, where I can't quite grasp my fingers around what is transpiring, but it all transpires nonetheless. Since everyone seems to be knitting scarves and mittens now, I thought it might be relevant that I went to see the Knitters last Saturday at the Crocodile. My girlfriend didn't want to go, as she considers the Knitters record to be "hick shit". I've explained it the best I could, but she held her ground, as did the other "friends" I invited, all citing lame excuses as reasons not to go. I think that they mock me when I'm not around. Fuck them. I went and had a great time all by my lonesome. Now I've just read Brad's note, and I don't feel so bad. I'm not bleeding and I'm entirely unconcerned about my wang being unsuitable company for my testicles or my butthole. I think that the amusing anecdotes of my inner thighs keep them all at peace. Which suddenly reminds me of a quote, "Don't be the kind of person who sits around talking about their genitalia." - Hank Hill. I'll not do that anymore. I'm beginning to wonder if I should move to France? Maybe I should just get a dog. The only thing I'm sure of at the moment, is that I ought to avoid crowds. I don't think I could handle a crowd today. My lord. I've re-read this note, and it reads a bit disjointed don't it? If anyone want's to criticize or "sass" me, please do it privately, or behind my back like the rest. I'm off to buy a taco.

This morning I rang home to see if everything was alright and my mother just thought I was mad. She's probably right but not for the reasons she thinks. God I've just read over what I've written and it sounds so depressing, don't worry I'm fine really....just in a bit of a funny mood.

I would tell you about myself except for the fact that I've got nothing going on in my life right now. I'm just a lonely girl in texas that has no friends anymore....When I started writing this e-mail, I had something to say, but now I can't remember. One thing I can say, though, is that B&S are such a wonderful band (I have such a brilliant talent for stating the obvious) and that they have made such an impact in my life, its good to know that music can still do that...Well, I know I'm rambling, and I promise that next time I will have something worthwhile to say, although that may not be for a while. thankyou.

I even double checked this trivia in the Oxford dictionary of New Words or something like that at the library, but it didn't identify the contributor except to quote "the first printed use" or whatever in a newspaper article. But I did see "twee" used in a British craft magazine once. The journalist emphasized the word had a bad connotation and it shouldn't be applied to the crafter in the article. Love Courtney << so tonight a friend asked me what "twee" meant. i tried to explain, and tried to tell her where it came from, but having no true definition or any of that, i sucked it up and looked at the merriam-websters dictionary that resides on my NeXT computer (which sits in our living room). sure enough, there it was. said something about it being excessively cute or something like that. said it was used primarily by the british and is baby-talk for "sweet." sounds good to me. >> +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

United six, Nottingham Forest one. They scored! Message-ID: <19991208083722.69201.qmail@hotmail.com> Props up ya' all. Did you hear the latest about the band Europe and their "The Final Countdown 2000"- single? This is a true story: They printed 60000 copies for the swedish market of the new version of that hairy song. Too bad they printed it wrong: It became "The Final CUNTdown." Tells you something, doesn't it? Now they have to do it all over again. HA! Brad, you and your asses and knees and elbows... The nation still laughs. Let me know when you post those photos, so I know when to close my eyes. Like the boobies in the photosection, as you might have quessed, though. Erm... Honey, I don't have to send pics of those bodyparts, do I? I just repeated what Braddyboy said. Spank my ass and call me Charlie. SLAP! Ooh, a bit harder. SLAPPETY SLAP. Ok, you can put that down now. Ooh, winter is here. Almost. What definetely will be here is THE meeting tomorrow. Tony Blair will be there. And the guy from France who has something to do with politics. All the other big shots from around Europe will be here right next to the building I work in, some big EU- meeting going on right beside our officebuilding. I have to carry my ID's so I can get to work tomorrow: they have policemen (and policewomen too, I'm sure) on the exits so they can keep track of us. Orwells' "1984", anyone? What else? There's this Swedish band Kent who held their recordlaunch-party (how the hell you spell that word?) here in Finland. After interviewing their guitarist and bassist I got an invitation to that party. FREE BEER! FREE CHICKENSALAD!! (and some lame salad with beans and god-knows-what for all you carrotpeople). Now tell me, what the hell is the point of those parties? They invite people from magazines (krhm, that would be me), TV and radio to eat and drink for free. I went in, ate, drank, the guys from the band came in to the club, they pressed play on the stereo and then we all listened to the album. And then we fucked off. Are they trying to kiss our asses so we would like them? Well it worked. 10 out of 10, Kent's new album Hagnesta Hill. Now thank you very much, when is the next party? On to some more serious stuff now. As some of you might know (one person knows), I'm going to Brighton for the new year (no, two people from the list know I'm going there, sorry). And that bloody Tigermilking party is on the 7th of January. Which is not that nice, since I'll be heading back to Finland on the 5th. So, I'd like to ask now, any good B&S- parties going to happen on the new year's eve? London or Brighton, thank you. E-mail please, if you have some ideas, 'cause I've never been to London/Brighton and I don't have any idea what those cities are like. I've heard that London is fairly big, but that's all. So again, PLEASE e-mail me if you've got some plans. Me and my friend Maria will be there, I promise. Well, I'm going to ask this same thing on the meetup- section on the Bleebster pages, so.... Now I'm off. Thank you for your co-operation. @---->--- A rose, love and other stuff that makes you feel funny in your tummy, Jake ps: Did you know that I look like Tim Burgess?

I thought you would be interested to read this small article... which is on http://www.scotsocialistparty.org/VoiceContents.htm Stuart Murdoch Belle and Sebastian Before I was in a band I would look at the likes of Francis and Douglas*. They were doing their own thing long before we came on the scene, and I was quite in awe of someone who could work in the music industry but do exactly what they wanted to do. There's a lot of examples of people like that, especially I think in Glasgow where there's a good collective feeling. I think the likes of Francis and Douglas are examples of being a complete success. They do pretty much what they want and suit themselves. I certainly thought that of people who ran their own labels or their own venues or simply made a record at all. I though that was it, if you sent off to Czechoslovakia and got a thousand cheap copies then you were a success. The selling out question, I'm not sure about. I'd be in favour of bands selling out all the way, depending on the quality of the music they came up with. My favourite band is The Smiths. They made the most fantastic music and they seemed to do it from such a righteous background. But, I'm kind of sure that if they signed to a major label, they'd probably take as much money as they could and be an entertainer and be manipulated. As long as the music is produced, I think that's the main thing. I think that things are happening all over Scotland. These initiatives that happen, the underground, just keep at it, you know what you're doing is good. The major guys, the major labels, are in trouble. They know they haven't got a scoobie and they're panicking. You know what's going on so just keep doing it, they'll come to you and you'll have the upper hand. * Francis McDonald, Shoeshine Records, and Douglas McIntyre, from Creeping Bent, who says : "I think Belle and Sebastian are the best example that's ever come out of Scotland of a band having their own autonomy and creative independence allied with popularity. It's very difficult to attain that, you need a degree of talent and luck and timing. But if there's any musicians in the audience my advice would be don't sign for a major record label - stay on the dole." Hummm... Discuss !!!

But I wear my Fox B&S T-shirt underneath my white work shirt and I spit in the drinks and give all there beers huge heads to all those who bad mouthed the mighty Sebastian, I may tomorrow try and slip Looper in the tape player Mission Impossible style, wish me luck. I've never dreamt about B&S but i used to dream that Louise Wiener (ex-sleeper lead singer) was my sister, and i used to record her voice because she has the sexiest speaking voice ever.

Props too to our Mater for making me sit up all night pressing piddling little buttons on my phone trying to figure out how to produce some vaguely familiar tune. Ooh Hon, you don't half make me come over all Oedipal. At a recent meeting luscious Indie Droolz Pam Berry confided in me that she would happily drink Stuart Murdoch's bath-water. (And they call us *freaky*?) I admitted that I would probably have to buy a record of him farting in his bath, but would have to think twice about matching HER level of commitment. I think tomorrow is Constitution Day in Thailand, so I suggest appropriate messages are sent, as mentioned before. Good grammar or not, hands off our souls.

Message-ID: <001601bf4152$b25b12e0$55e8c6d1@cartagena.cetcol.net.co> I was released from the nursery a week or so ago but didn't have anything interesting to say. Come to think of it still don't have much to say but I thought a brief introduction would go down well. Having been reading your messages for the past few weeks, it appears as if I'm one of the more 'muture' listees - I mean I have a real job and I'm no longer a student (oh how I remember those days when the heating would break down and all 3 of us would huddle around the Calor gas fire to defrost the ink in our pens). I'm currently well disconnected from the music scene at the moment having now spent a few years down in the Caribean - but had the opportunity to visit the land of B & S this summer to stock up on my CD collection. All this talk of winter made me realise that although winter goes on for months in Scotland - it has it's charms, those cold cold clear mornings are excellent. Down here we only have the wet season and the dry season - much more predictable. Well, I think you've probably all had enough of my ramblings by now so I'll stop here. Graeme P.S Not sounding much like B&S but I highly recommend the Buena Vista Social Club CD.

Message-ID: <19991209100155.21152.qmail@web1403.mail.yahoo.com> hiya folk. I haven't mailed for a few weeks because I've been soooooo busy it's almost untrue. 1) - yaay. It's my birthday today. yay. celebrations. joviality all round. yay. jelly and ice cream. yay. novelty birthday cake featuring either disney character, or homer simpson. so why does it feel like "it's just another day"? birthdays have really lost their attraction for me. I remember when I was younger (i.e. - when I was 16, last year ;) ) It would be exciting, but I'm just too tired and content in not really caring about much now that it doesn't matter. 2) - I'm absolutley shitting it big style. I found out on tuesday that I've got my medicine interview for glasgow uni next wednesday, and I'm pretty scared. I've been told that they might ask u about the music u like, and I don't know if they would be put off by my taste (they might think that I'm a corrupt vote rigger) any advice on interview 'technique' wouldn't go amiss. 3) did some more work experience in hospital. I got to hold someones large intestine, because it was lying in a bucket of formaldehyde. it was, erm, frightenigly fun. I might just go and work in a slaughterhouse instead. 4) I got another mail from mick cook the other day. He said that he has got 3 posters and 3 records signed by all the band to give me, because I asked him for something to raffle to help fund a project I'm doing to pay for an activity week for some mentally disabled kids. but he said that stuart david was ill right now, but he'd sign the stuff soon. I bet karn TOLD him to wrap up warm when going outside, but no, he thought he knew better....... 5) I got a job in next in argyl st. in glasgow on saturday mornings now. I'm in menswear. I am kind of horrified by this, but I need the money. I find that a lot of customers there are dicks, and so are some of the workers. £3.63 an hour - not too good, but it WILL go up. I almost asked the guy if I could get some more because I'm more intelligent than the average shop worker, but then I thought the better of it. 6) what are 'props', as in "props to mr. X, because.."? I seem to see it a lot. 7) I need good stage equiptment for the gigi I'm holding in january. I want big big big speakers and lights ect., and a big smoke machine would be really good too. can anyone help? I've not got that much money to spend on the pa equiptment, so it'll have to be cheap. cheerio Babychris CRYSTALBALLS (can I still use the "baby" bit now that I'm 17?) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I haven't been so well informed since I stopped watching John Craven's Newsround. Speaking of news, THAI NEWS: Peter Withe's boys have an intersting group in the World Cup qualifiers. They face fellow jungle dwellers Sri Lanka, kebab inventors Lebanon and Pakistan, run like a madam's brothel by our old friend General. How *do* madams run brothels? With a rodd of iron? I've been looking through my vast fanzine library, fifteen hundred Chickfactors, one The Horn, a bag of goodies from Da Dook. All very nice. But there's a gap where Trousercuts 3 should be. I feel like J.R. Hartley. Where is Trousers? If you ask me, he spends all day mooning over his special friend. I notice he hasn't been generating many column inches lately either. Pete Townshend of the 70s WHO has been generating lots of column inches. Apparently you can get him to write a song about you, based on some kind of 70s computer output thing. Obviously it's no good getting him to write one about Sister Disco, because he already has, the legendary "Sister Disco". Our sworn enemies on the Indie Pop list got one written about them by Momus, so perhaps we should get one for the whole list done by Pete Townshend. It'll cost loads of money, but just imagine the look on their faces when we get one written by a bonafide rock legend and they have to make do with one by indie underachiever Maurice Mus. Matthew Fletcher is credited in the acknowledgements section of The Oxford Dictionary of New Words. How did he wangle that? It laso features anorak pop, anoraky, anorakish and anoraknophobia.

Bastards. Owen is "looking for a new girl to lay myself down for". Which is all pretty strange because most girls I've met whose intentions lie beyond finding out my middle name isn't actually Maximillan afterall, usually expect me to lay myself down on, rather than "for". Whilst I wouldn't have too many problems with the occasional game of statues or even sticky-glue, just expecting me to drop everything and hit the deck is taking things a little to far and she'd be dumped. Unless it's one of those wierd sex things that IPECAC SPICES relatively new boyfriend seems to like.

First up, we're told that the Antarctic's gone all melty and by 2200 the first floor flat above the butcher's on Glossop High Street will be the only dry place left in Britain. Unless I can decorate the place myself, I'd rather drown. The Minister For The Next Ice Age (a former associate of mine: we used to co-edit Gehirnglasschlacke in the 70s - "the magazine that talks to people as if they were stupid") was forced to resign in some disgrace and no little confusion. I told him to give up the booze and the one-night stands, find some quiet little town and forget about everything. I used to think it was so easy... Secondly, I carelessly threw a tin of Sun-Pat at Isobel Campbell at a fun-fair and knocked all her teeth out. Every single one of them - even those hard-to-reach fellas at the back. I think *they* went down her throat. No, hang on - I've never been to a fun-fair in my life. Oi, Starry - are you beaming stuff into my head again or what ? Stop it - it makes my nose tingle. Onto happier matters... Though the Belles have been quiet for a while (too long), their influence continues to spread, slipping its tender tendrils into the most unexpected places. Three gems I'm currently giving headspace to bear the Mark of Murdoch: "Hospice Epiphany" by Malediction Gnostic - their third release for the OxBlood imprint, a single-sided 10" of amusical chaos, asphyxiating dread and tape-death. Three minutes and forty-six seconds in, the clammy fog lifts briefly and a grief-stricken bassoon chews its way across the stereo image. It pauses, distressingly clogged, and a cardigan zipper can be heard. "nu beleef" by Nixxy Cashwreck & DJ Dispute - a shockingly intense slab of Granular ShamGlitch, which seduces as it unravels. Sure to be a big noize with the Controv set for the Teresa Gorman sample alone, it's opaque slink-beat lets up just long enough for a young male voice to syrup-coo an ode to a salesgirl at BHS. The flip is the usual fleshy cackola from DuckDuct - avoid. "Drizzle On The Fens" by Ghyllis Sourhardy - at first I thought I'd struck gold: that rare 1977 Sanguine pressing of the late tenor-flautist's most miserable work ? The one withdrawn shortly after release following concerns over the insufficiently dour sleeve-art ? No - it was the reissue, lovingly packaged on SupaDense vinyl, complete with Sourhardy's original essay "Friends are just strangers you've learned to hate". But the '98 bonus track - recorded shortly before Sourhardy's fatal encounter with a puma - reeks of bouncy trumpet and choppy guitar, hesitant recorder and nervous cello. It's a lovely, sunny piece, though one is reminded of the endless indeterminacy of meaning here and there. I want to go home now. {st'e'a-d-y} mik'e. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Thousands of Stores. Millions of Products. All in one place. Yahoo!

I'm thinking maybe me and archel should go into business. Or maybe not. I hate grungers. Really. They are even meaner than teenyboppers sometimes. And most of them have like Kurt Cobain's suicide note printed on their jackets like it was cool that he shot himself. And always standing in groups, with like blue hair and black eyeliner like someone's punched them, going on about how courtney killed him. Maybe he just happened to be writing a suicide note for a laugh, and he was sucking thoughtfully on the barrel of his gun, when it went off, and he thought he might as well finished it while he bled to death, so people wouldn't laugh at him for being so careless, and instead walk around with obituaries to him on their jacket, even though they were only about 9 years old when he died. I had a belle and sebastian related dream. I was in the mens toilets of G2, being sick and mick cooke was holding back my hair to stop my from getting vomit on it. Then chris geddes gave me a glass of water. Strange. I think that i shouldn't eat chocolate before I go to bed. I hate orange flavour Tunes. They don't help you breath more easily, they poison you and bloody stink. I phoned up the tunes coldline. Has anyone read the stuart david interview in Melody Maker? It's not that good (though i've not read nalda said yet), but there's a photo of him grinning like a maniac and the caption above his photo reads "Stuart David chuckles with glee as he hears a rumour that the Booker Prize is to be decided by an e mail vote.". Well I found it funny.

I just bought a copy of the Christmas Radio Times and the Millenium Night/Morning on Channel 4 is dominated by an 8 and a half hour Big Breakfast Marathon. I still assume that the apocalypse tube will be incorperated into the evening because there is no way anyone could tollerate Johnny Vaughn for that length of time. My main problem is that at the same time on BBC2 is 'The Book of Life' by Hal Hartley so i'll have to give up my �4000 Gatecrasher ticket and stay in cos I can't tape both of them. I just received a single today by a group called Clock Strikes Thirteen entitled 'When we Were together'. It is truly wonderful, has anyone else heard of them? If you're interested in buying their single, which is really cheap, then I can give you the relevent e-mail address to order it as I don't want to infringe any sinister rules on advertising by posting it to everyone, but I think everyone should buy it. The guy at their record company in the U.K. said I was the first person to enquire about that single. Bye Nick Leigh p.s. I don't have a ticket for the gatecrasher EXTRAVAGANZA on dec 31st/jan 1st and have never been to a trendy night club in my life. + the question in the subject was purely rhetorical but I wouldn't mind discussing the topic with someone. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

There's only so many times you can tell yourself your winter 'padding' makes you look more like Marilyn monroe. Jen said: >I hate grungers. Really. The funniest thing about some townies I know, is that they'll refer to anything that isn't their sort as a grunger. e.g "You smoke, don't you? All grungers do." How on *earth* could I qualify as a grunger? They'd have me hung by my pink tights before I could utter even the slightest approval for the new Marilyn Manson fayre. I don't really have anything against grungers, apart from when The Offspring get played at the Indie Disco and they jump on feet through my open toed slingbacks, as I scuttle off the floor in disgust. And they smell, and don't wash their hair enough, but then the same thing could be said of Stuart David. Archel said the boys used to call her 'foreplay', a clever play on her surname, Playforth. That's got to be better than Eric-shon. I wish I could write gutsy poetry like the aforementioned. I think my new silver shoes are possessed by the spirit of a 1950s housewife. That's the thing with buying your shoes from Help The Aged, you never know who has died in them. Why not embroider a few of your favourite words, or your fake name into the lining of your coat? I'm currently in the process of embroidering the words "Yes I do but not with you" in tiny red sequins onto the back pocket of my jeans. Just a little thought.

Mam has been informed that a nice thick coat would be the order of the day this xmas. Every christmas I think am I too old for good presents of my parents... now I'm 21 do I have to look forward to a token ill chosen suprise gift from dad. I know its a greedy thought but greeds what the festive season is all about. I take back that `token gift` bit though - theres nothing token about 100% cotten underwear. BabyChris Crystalballs queried: "I've got my medicine interview for glasgow uni next wednesday, and I'm pretty scared. I've been told that they might ask u about the music u like, and I don't know if they would be put off by my taste (they might think that I'm a corrupt vote rigger) any advice on interview 'technique' wouldn't go amiss" Whoever told you that is horriblely misleading you. My girlfriend applied for medicine at Newcastle and failed to get in because they felt her Pulp T-shirt prooved she wasn't serious enough about the course! Still I guess we wouldn't have met if she'd suceeded in breaking into the very select medicine crowd. Different social circles you know. Like Nick Leigh I was scared by the xmas Radio Times listings for C4 and I'm afraid I don't share his optomism. I've heard lots about C4s millenial plans but no mention of a Murdoch/Moyles TV fest.

Well I WAS a grunger, back in the days Kurt still had his head. People actually called me Grungy (haha). And yes, I stank. And yes, I was angry with the world. And I didn't wash my hair often enough. And I had an Alice In Chains- t-shirt, FAAAARRRR too big, of course. But that was 1993. Now it's 1999, I wear a bit too small t-shirts (with Little Prince printed on the one I'm wearing now, isn't it cute? See? See?), I'm in love with the world, I wash my har every day. And this one guy who is of a friend of a friend called me "a fucking nerd." So I've changed, you see? And then Erica continued: >They'd have me hung by my pink tights ...and I found myself sexually aroused by that. These days, even a cats mioaw gets my hormones going. On on and on Erica went: >Why not embroider a few of your favourite words, or your fake name into the >lining of your coat?

But that would mean I'd have to start wearing those XL- sized t-shirts again. So I'll just say the same as I've always done when asked that question about my glasses: "Yes." And then I smile.

And technically ,no, it didn't jump it just stared through the open window. But you know what I mean. And don't ask why my window was open in the midst of winter as I'd have to explain the eccentricities of the central heating in my abode, and that would involve diagrams and a Liebig Condenser's and it would all get a bit tricky. Back to the cat though, my instant reaction in face of this tabby lardy intruder from down the road was to spit loudly and supposedly catlike, which is quite difficult to do without projecting phlegm, at said cat. As it wandered off eventually I heard a very strange noise, I swear it was laughing at me. Ho hum... Today I have become exceedingly frustrated with the contemporary music scene, by this I mean I've forgotten to bring any CD's to work to listen to. Therefore, I've decided to invent a new musical genre for the next century. That being: Gangster Indiepop. It shall be bands wearing clothes they stole from their parents, and songs about stealing sweets from the tuckshop, not paying for the whole journey on the bus, playing knock down ginger (and I don't mean punching Geri Haliwell) and other real life documentation's from the streets of Suburbia. And they'll mean it maaan. And while we're down with the Gangster scene, I still haven't bloody found that new Stereolab CD though I still have the case and cover. Which like Brad's haemorrhoids is a complete pain in the a(r)s(s)(e). If anyone wants to be part of the Gangster scene and copy it for me, preferably onto CD, they would get a lot of props and stuff, and I'd do them something or someone in return like. I just B*grudge buying the same CD twice. B*grudge by the way are the grungy alter-ego band of B*witched that play grunge with a Celtic flavour. Nice. And also bizarrely this week I've been told I could possibly be sent to Paris, France for 6 weeks to do some "user acceptability testing". I've know idea what this involves, but if it does mean saying yes this is acceptable and no this really isn't acceptable alternatively whilst drinking red wine and munching cheese then I feel I am totally capable of doing this. But I suspect my boss could be one of those nice apocalypticphobe types and he's just making up stuff for everyone so they have a joyous last three weeks of existence. Anyhow I must apologise for my length, it's got a mind of its own. Te ra, Martin ear confection recordings (http:/www.send.demon.co.uk) P.S I've noticed the appending of private messages to mails so I've subscribed my mum to the list now to keep her informed. Mum, can you clean the projected phlegm off my window and I'll be home at 5 for tea. Can I have fish cakes?

For those of you unfortunate not to have encountered the wonderful Mr Styler yet, hes one of those old-fashioned singer-songwriters that recall Jimmy Webb, Randy Newman, Scott Walker. His Live at The Mermaid Lounge is a heart-breaking spit and sawdust affair and includes a venomous cover of Cry Me A River for when you heart as been broken by some *bastard/bitch*. Jim O'Rouke's new single 'halfway to threeway' is a charming off the shoulder number that sounds B&S'ish, Domino have pursuaded him to come over so watch those ads.

Message-ID: I have a really wierd question. Is the fact that Belle and Sebastian have been pretty much inactive in 1999 so much a bad thing? Let me explain. When I started listening to Belle and Sebastian, I had to be dragged into it. They were constantly being lauded by people on the indiepop list and all I could think to myself was, "No band can be THIS good." Then I found out people like Beth Arzy and Pam Berry really dug B & S, and since I dug the kind of music they were doing, I had to give the music they liked a shot. But it did nothing for me. And I had other, more reliable stuff to listen to, like the Softies and Poundsign and so I just let it slide. Then one day, I was sitting on the porch, shucking corn (this is true. You can't make this sort of thing up.) and I decided to listen to Sinister again. And while I was there, sitting on the porch, shucking corn the album captured me. I was totally drawn into the phenomenon that is Belle and Sebastian. (Plus my mom got the totally wrong idea about the band because she walked by the stereo just in time to hear Stuart M. sing "She was into S & M and bible studies" and then proceeded to ask me what "this kinky crap I was listening to was.") Suddenly I had to have more Belle and Sebastian. Anything Belle and Sebastian related was soon owned by me as I tracked down many of the hard to find UK EPs. I got excited hearing about Looper and the Gentle Waves. I had bought into the popular misconception that the band could do no wrong. But then my critical self took over. Yes, i admit, I still claim that Sinister is the greatest album recorded this decade, but to be honest, ever since The Boy With the Arab Strap, I have been a bit disappointed with them. The Looper album, which initially amazed me, ended up disappointing me because most of the songs were the same song played different ways. And I won't even touch the Gentle Waves. So maybe it's better that they are quiet. Maybe the vacation will help them put out a fabulous new album in 2000. Brandt "Don't worry lads.

Warrel) that has put a huge smile on my face. I was walking down the halls of the fine arts building late last night, after a play. Suddenly, I heard Belle and Sebastian in my head, and I was happy that it was so crystal clear in my brain- it almost seemed real. Then I realized- SHIT MAN, THAT IS REAL!!! I ran down the hall like a crazed madman and found the room it was coming from and burst through the door and said, "GOOD GOD, WHO IS PLAYING BELLE AND SEBASTIAN?" Luckily, I didn't walk in on a classroom, but I did meet a friendly freshman boy listening to IYFS while editing a film reel. He had actually seen Belle and Sebastian in concert in New York. I was so flustered that I must have seemed like a crazed fanatic and scared him, but I hope I didn't. Finally, someone who is just like me in the same fucking town. He even has Tigermilk on vynil. Crazy, eh? Two questions: This kid didn't like Belle and Sebastian very much in concert. Do those of you who have seen the band in concert agree that they are not so good live? I know that people have issues with Isobel, but I'm wondering if anyone noticed on that much despised "Gentle Waves" album that she plays every instrument under the sun. So, I really am wondering (from the musicians)- can anybody tell me (technically speaking) how good Belle and Sebastian and/or Isobel is musically?

Bah! Humbug! Message-ID: <005f01bf4340$fd176500$16113c3e@default> Hi guys, Well, I queued from 6am until 8.45am, but I got my Travis ticket, along with mild frostbite and a good laugh. Highlight of the morning was when a guy rode past on his bicycle, laughing loudly at us in our tinfoil wrappings and fell off his bike. That was funny. I was on the news for approx 0.03 of a second too, I was the guy in the green leather jacket who jumped and waved at the camera If anyone recognises me at the gig, come and say hello. There can't be too many guys with a green leather jacket and a Radiohead top :) My Hogmanay plans are now in ruin. I originally had promises of a get-together from ten people. That was a month ago. Throughout this week, they have all cancelled on me, leading me to question how I smell. This bascially means that I'll be sitting in my bed, watching everyone on TV having a great time and crying. Stuff certainly kicks you when you're down, don't it? I heard a rumour that our band are planning to release gig details in January. I really, really hope that this is true, because they're one of my two fave bands that I haven't managed to see live - the other being Radiohead. Fingers crossed.... I though of a great title for the new album.... how about... 'Subtletwee' [subtlety, get it?] I think I should be the cover star, and I await my phone call inviting me to be photographed :) The book with my story in it apparently goes to press this week. I'll let y'all know when it does. Anyone going to see Beck in March at the Clyde Auditoriam? I'll leave now. Crafty Barnardo out!

Possibly. If anyone were to walk in on this conversation, wouldn't all this sound rather odd? Scared by TV listings? Pining for Murdoch/Moyles tv fests? Do they mean us? They surely do. Where on earth has Derek Jameson gone? Every day in every way, I am learning that Will Smith offers the best guide to life currently available. Take the new millennium. Wouldn't life be so much simpler if we all followed his example ditched it in favour of the Willennium? Think about the advantages: * In the midst of festivities, one can deflect the advances of party-pooping pedants whining about there being no year zero and how you should wait another year blah blah, by saying "Ah - you're talking about the millennium. I'm celebrating the *Willennium*, which happens when Will Smith says so." * Scope creep has set in for the word 'millennium', with many using it to refer to the New Year period itself, rather than the the thousand year period it heralds. (Q: "What are you doing for The Millennium?" A: "Well I thought I'd grow old and then spend most of it dead, how about you?"). Avoiding this wrongheaded talk by referring to party crossover time as the Willennium and reserving 'millennium' for serious academic uses. * The Will2K bug brings only good things * Being a made-up word, no one has to worry about misspelling 'Willennium' Omit the second 'n' with complete impunity. Apparently Prince's '1999' album has sold out in many shops. Other pop starsmight learn from this example. Kate Bush's career has gone a bit flat since she wowed the BPI award nominations panel with her version of 'Rocket Man'. Perhaps she could engineer some kind of nuclear holocaust in a bid to whip up interest in her classic post-apocalyptic vision 'Breathing'. Or Status Quo could campaign for the reintroduction of National Service and hope the kids go wild for 'In the Army Now'. Today I abused company facilities by looking up famous people on the electoral roll. Don't tell anyone. Did you know that Steven P Morrissey is living with his lovely wife Deborah somewhere in Cheltenham? Neither did he, I would imagine. I also found Mr Stuart L Murdoch and Mr Richard Colburn living in 'mixed household' domestic bliss, just to prove that it really works. >hello my name is jeremy. and im new to the list. >im an art student at pratt institute in brooklyn. >i like the color blue and reading small thoughts by stanley donwood. >latley i have been listening to the new les savy fav album and playing around >with a fisher price pxl-2000. I just thought this was worth repeating. Have 'Jessie's diets' made it to the US yet? Here everyone says things like "This week I have been mostly exploring the lo-fi scene" all the time and it somehow doesn't date or get annoying at all. Welcome to the gang, Jeremy. Zoe asked: >i've read on the B&S site that they're going to record a john peel >session.does anyone have any idea when is it gonna be broadcasted? Well it was supposed to be not long after the willennium, but word on the street is that they missed the recording date, so it will be guess what... delayed. Don't get cross. It's all to do with Stuart David and his runny bottom. Or something. Elsewhere....... Fiona's battering plans have invaded my every waking thought. The kids at my school never thought of any clever puns on my surname. Unless, you count 'Nicholas Dust the Door' and 'Nicholas Dastardly'. Which I don't.

Anyhow, with reference to erica's pink tights - wasn't Courtney Love wearing something both pink, and tight like in appearance at this years Glastonbury? I know her status as a 'grunger' is possibly a bit dubious, but, none the less? Perhaps i've been lucky,but all the grunge fans i know are scrupulously clean and have never been spotted with a copy of Mr Cobains suicide note on their persons. What with all the sew on patches, there wouldn't be room anyway - its quite incredible that when they take their jackets off, they stand up for themselves when dumped on the floor.

(unless there are in fact some previously unheard of out-and-proud lesbians living in the sussex village of plumpton green, which i doubt.) 3) a new appreciation of doormats. there is a plethora of those ones saying 'welcome friends', which i find disconcertingly medieval. they might as well add: 'but if we don't know you from adam, or if we know you and don't like you, you can fuck off'. COMPLETELY RANDOM INFORMATION the last few times i have visited my local (ie. still 15 miles away) record shop i have been inexorably drawn to a single labelled 'glasgow gangster funk'. i cannot imagine what this sounds like, but as it only costs 20p i may well purchase it and put myself out of my misery. B&S CONTENT (ADMITTEDLY TENUOUS) i was thinking this morning that the bit in 'century of elvis' about stu and karn: 'first we got to know each other, and a while after that we met' is the perfect way to describe most sinister friendships. and i think that's kind of cool. i can't remember the rest of my train (or more properly, several derailed carriages) of thought. probably because my head is full of peru sex, battered teaspoons and haemorrhoids. sinister is a very strange place to live sometimes. luv archel xxx ********** Rachel Playforth archel at iname.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Very much the same phenomenon happened to me. The other week I was round at his 'manor' house at Greenwich's fashionable meridian when a private screening was arranged of an obscure performance by the Rolling Stones. Asked if I was up for watching the old devils, I couldn't but wink: 'It's only Rock'n'Roll - but I like it!!'. The show had various Belle and Sebastian lookalikes on stage, plus two special guests: Ricky Ross of Deacon Blue, and Marianne Faithfull, back in the big time and occasionally striking a tambourine. But the aural warpquake that is The Stones was unmistakable as they loped through a track from side of 1971's Sticky Fingers elpee. Most amazingly of all, even Brian Jones was back in the line-up - a comeback to put Tom Jones, the Sundays, Nat King Cole et al in the shade of a tower block. Halfway through he belted into a veritable swimming pool of a solo, and never mind that he thought he was still playing 'Heart Of Stone'. All in all, it was great to see them back where they belonged - no less than the irreplaceable, irresistible, irrepressible GREATEST ROCK'N'ROLL BAND IN THE WORLD. 'As the saying goes': We salute you! ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Yahoo just caused my first mail to disappear so lets try again. Stupid yahoo. When I start up my own internet e-business startup commerce pentium IBM iMac e-information super-highway, just like Alan McGee and David Kitchen, pioneers them all, I will start up a fantastic, reliable and unstupid web-based email. I will. So anyway. When Elles subject line was "A Pint of McGuiness", did anyone else think it was the shock revelation than McDonalds had taken over Guiness in a corporate takeover, and were now going to start McGuiness Happy Meals? I'd like that. Four chicken nuggets, a medicore portion of soggy fries, and a half of stout. Top banana chief and chiefettes, what? I am listening to Magnetic fields LIVE songs, from the LIVE arena. I'll swap you mp3s if you buy me 69 love songs please. Or Get Lost. In fact, I only still have one Magnetic Fields album, and thats on tape too. This song is called "Its A Crime", and they are doing good impressions of ill-done by Jamaicans with chips on their shoulder, and they're probably STONED on DRUUGS. Bad! Wicked! Evil! Listees with photographic memories will remember when I mentioned the Best Spanish Song in the world EVER, "Por Que Te Vas", which featured in the Best Spanish Film that I've seen for oh, days, "Cria Cuervos". Well fetch me my monkey and allow me to wank it! Kahimi Karie, a Japanese popstress the like of which there are bluddy loads actually, has only gone and covered it! Fans of "Por Que Te Vas", which you all should be else you smell - will be disappointed to hear that she does nothing spanking new and bouncy and mysterioso with the song. And even more sad they spent £5.50 on a single, for one song. Which isn't really worth it. It also has a song about Mike Always Diary! Its seems everyones on a Bridget Jones kick these days! It has Momus on it too. Momus. What a stupid name. I always mix up Moby and Momus. These days I just try to remember, "Goths like Moby, Momus wears an eye-patch", and everything seems to become clear. But I wouldnt bet on it. The other day I had a Sinister-ish dream. Tim Hopkins was in it. We went to the pub. But then Tim started shouting going "We're not going to this fucking over-crowded commerical pub, let me take you to a real boozer", and he led us to a place where the main attraction was that when you went in, the staff handed you rubber truncheons, and you could beat up as many police-people as you wanted, for the price of a pint!! Crackin'! And one policeman was naked. Urgh. The others were fully uniformed. Honey was there, sneaking peeks. Analyse THAT, Megan Lehar! Then again...do I want that analysed? I supose it was my own fault, due to my eating a huge hunk of cheese and PATE before I went to sleepy-byes.

UGH! I've been waiting for this show for a long time and they got sick. My friends saw their tour bus outside the venue and everything. They were here and they didn't play. There's no chance for rescheduling or anything. My friends spent around 40 bucks for a bus up here from London (ontario.) Belle and Sebastian did this to us as well the last time they were to play Toronto. Oh well...I had fun last night anyway. My friends Diana and Debbie were out last night at a little P!O!P! night and they looked like they had fun. Debbie even danced last night. They didn't play much B&S though, but when they did we made a lot of noise. The little Queen St West stuck up lot didn't appreciate it too much, but they work retail so they're pretty grumpy all the time anyway. Debbie and Diana waited for me before the show at the bar...they're funny. They misunderstood my post on the meetup page. Funny how they were the only 2 that did. Girls can be silly.

And the Wunderschon, scruptious Fiona mbbx9ff2 ("duh?" in your own words Fifi :o)) said: "also, you know how fish+chip shops make deep-fried mars bars and apparently now some will deep-fry and batter any foodstuff you care to bring into their establishment. well, without being gratuitously surreal, do you think you could take household objects and have them battered? you could gradually build up a battered room and a battered house, and eventually a battered empire." Which made me think. I remember in St Andrews, back in the good ol' days of 1990, you could buy a deep-fried (and battered) pizza of your choice. And when i was there in the summer, i had a Donner Kebab Pizza, because i didnt fancy a Haggis Pizza! I also thought about a Laurel + Hardy (weren't they amazing?) film, where someone ate a battered ...... shoe, i think. I think it was Stan Laurel, but it was about 10 years ago, so dont hold me to that. Correct me if you must, but thats the image that i've got in my head now. Dammit. Colin: "So, I really am wondering (from the musicians)- can anybody tell me (technically speaking) how good Belle and Sebastian and/or Isobel is musically" Hmmm. Its not that they're amazing musicians (they can obviously make music that makes us all want to dance), but its HOW their songs are made. They know how to make a song sound special by using all the different instruments and keeping individual things simple enough, so that when they all come together it shines (I'm waiting for someone to prove me wrong here but *IN GENERAL*). It's what makes a band classy and stand out from some clearance-basket effort. And thats the most important thing, right? I'd guess, with Re: to your question about how good they are live, that they're just a stripped-down version of the records (?). They can't overdub live, and that might be one of the reasons why there so damn many members. This WILL create a reaction, and seeing as i haven't seen B+S live (or own any bootlegs), i can't prove it. I'll let someone else do that. Zoe: "i've read on the B&S site that they're going to record a john peel session.does anyone have any idea when is it gonna be broadcasted?" February, i think they said, although you'd have to do a search for the article @ www.nme.com with something like "B+S The Tube" to find it.

This will be our second Christmas do with the Grunts at the Cas Rock. If you were there last year you either: A) had a great time B) can't remember a thing or C) were working for the emergency services Expect the usual over-refreshed performances, stage gimmicks and brass instrument-related violence. Tickets will be reasonably priced, and the doors should open around about 9.00pm, but details will undoubtedly remain hazy for a few weeks yet. Friday 31st December King Tuts Wah Wah Hut St. Vincent Street Glasgow Hogmanay Party The Last Gig of the 20th Century - featuring The Amphetameanies Suppository Business (all the way from Shetland) The Atomic Brains (Glasgow punk supergroup) (hmmm) + SkaHound SurroundSound DJs Early show: doors open at 6pm - back on the street, pished and ready for the Bells by 10pm-ish. Cheap �6.50 ticket also gets you a share of the stomach-lining buffet (if you're not too late), a free haircut (only a limited number of styles will be attempted - participation optional), access to one-off festive Buckfast cocktails at promo prices, and lots of other nonsense we are still working on. Probably a souvenir photo or badge or something. Tickets available thru King Tuts, Virgin (the new big one on Buchanan Street), Missing and the usual ticket outlets via credit card, should you have such a thing.

These days we grab trouts as they swim past us while we stand outside the office smoking fags. No snow here. Just ray ray ray raining all the time. It's like the apocalypse is coming. And it is. Why wait for february and John Peel session of Belle& Sebastian if we all know that the big BANG is going to happen 31th of december? We are all going to die. The asteroid will crash while I'm drinking my beer, smirking at people saying "I told you, didn't I? But did you believe me? Nooooo." but hey, this is serious stuff: Is it just me or are the people on the sinister list afraid of mentioning well know bands because they think they are going to lose their street-credibility up here in the twee-land? And has anyone heard of those bands Shirley Lee from Spearmint is mentioning in that third song on "A wee away"- album? See, I can do that egoboosting too. But I know a whole lot of bands you guys haven't even heard of. Cartoon Tree and Pool, for example, which I saw last saturday. Pool was shit as always, Cartoon Tree was so Teenage Fanclub that you just wouldn't believe. But I also like Counting Crows, even though they've sold quite a few albums. Am I therefore out of the in-crowd? @--->--- A rose, love and other stuff that makes you feel funny in your tummy, Jake le petit.

Message-ID: <19991213095553.17578.qmail@web1704.mail.yahoo.com> Dear you lot, Due to a new thing being on my computer, it turns out that it makes the background screen bright Brilliant White, and the text a rather luminous shade of most UNPALE pink. It clashes extremely violently with the subdued grey-ish blues of mail.yahoo.co.uk, thats for sure. Anything for f.a.s.h.i.o.n. though eh? I don't know why spelling 'fashion' in that manner reminded me of SQUEEZE. But I never know that they did "Cool for Cats"! For some reason I associate that song with 7up. Which is pants anyway. The best lemonade is R.Whites, but if you want to push the boat out a bit, and you happen to be in a wonderful Oirish O'Neils pub, go for their Red Lemonade. "It's funny, bitchy, utterly fascinating", said the Independent on Sunday! (Admittedly whilst describing the Film Diaries of Richard E Grunt, but thats beyond the point.) Jay-bird: > ..and back onto junk food, there's a new 'delicacy' here in oz i tried for > the first time last night. A 'McFlurry'. You *are* kidding. You do know if you speak of a "flurry" in England...or perhaps The North...or perhaps just me.... you mean VOMIT??? Or do I mean "Slurry"? Either words do, they still remind me of vomit. Which is never USUALLY what McDonalds does of course... Jordie Knight: >Noooo !!!! the best spanish song is a glorious one, called "Un rayo de sol" by >a mighty band called Formula Quinta !!! Surely you mean Los Diablos :) Or Le Mans! Thank you very much for my tape Miss Arantxapie, I especially liked the cover, which looked like a 60s version of a suit my mum used to wear in the grand old years of the 80s. The Le Mans side was very good. And the Francoise Hardy side was quiet. So quiet in fact it was probably blank. But I proceeded to fill it up with my Francoise Hardy selections, so now no-one can tell the difference! Except my side was full of low-tech taping and hiss. Dammit. The last tape cover I made featured contributions from an iMac leaflet (filched from John Lewises!), and the timetable for the no. 65 bus to Brentford. Where I should've been going yesterday to see "Ma Vie en Rose", except I'm in Preston. So I'm going to the pub instead. I seem to have worked it so we go to the place where they sell cheap double vodka and red bull. It doesn't even taste that grate. But what does taste great, in the alky-hol ways, are cocktails. I recommend "mudslides", because they taste just like ice-cream, and when you talk about them, theres always some wit who brings up the love that dare not speak its name. No! Not the love for Simply Red Aha! The Love of a Male for a fellow Male. Yes. Me? I don't love anything unless it's Aislers Set these past few days. Or Whistler. I cried on a City Bus to Whistler the other day. See, its worth waiting for about a year to get fantastic promo copies of albums for 1.99 from the Vinyl Exchange. I'm sure I'd be obliged to like the album less if I'd paid its original rip-off price of 16.99! Riding on City Buses for a hobby eh... I decided one time I'd get ride about on Lunding Buses, and see where the traffic goes, and round round round round (I) get around. However, some people manage to find all sorts of booty and hidden treasure, I just end up finding a Sue Ryder shop and a McDonalds. I'm sure it's different in TOKYO. Kippu o ni-mai Tokyo made kudasai. And I bet I said that sentence wrong anyway. Whats Japanese for "up the bum sex".

I'm almost tempted to reply, but I know it will mean even more spam for the rest of my natural life. "da ba dip ba de be dodo" Due to my life being terminally sad at the moment (of which more in a moment), the highlights of my weekend were: 1. Watching "Have I Got News For You" whilst in the chatroom (go there, it's GRATE) and WIll Self saying "sinister". 2. Watching "The History of the P!O!P! Video" and Seymour Stein was on it. 3. Downloading a spectrum emulator for my PC and realising within 20 seconds that all speccy games were absolutely ARSE. 4. Taking lots of drugs and shagging 10 supermodels at once. maybe. "deee ba de ba do" My plans for the willennium (cheers, nick) have also fallen into disarray following the descision by Cheltenham Borough Council to close the only half decent club in town FOR NO APPARENT REASON THE BASTARDS. Sorry, I'm a little upset, but there is now NOWHERE to go to gigs or have a proper indie dance in Cheltenham. I suppose if I was making $4000 a day I could buy it myself... Nick also said: Did you know that Steven P Morrissey is living with his lovely wife Deborah somewhere in Cheltenham? Well, there used to be a guy everyone called "Fat Mozzer" due to, well, i guess it's pretty self explanatory, I wonder if he changed his name by deed poll.... "do ba dooby dabadooby" Owen said: I GOT A SHAG or words to that effect, which is always nice. Rachel tucker said: what happened to alisa ross? is she still about anywhere? her posts were wicked, i really miss them. Well, when she got me horrendously drunk in Glasgow the other week (oh yes, it was ALL her fault, and that Ally Cook and that Calumn Shearer, pouring it down my neck with a funnel they were, nothing to do with me at all) she seemed fine, but I must agree about her posts. The Trashcan Sinatras are rubbish. There, that might do the trick. "da ba dooby dabadiddum doooooh " Starry sarah just mentioned vomit, which brings me back to reminiscences on Glasgow, but I think we'll leave it there for now.... xoxo CarsmileSteve "hey let's have a snowball fight" =============================O O============================= ==============================@ "ouch, no fair, don't put rocks in yr snowballs" +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

I'd be happy with some of the lovely glittery elastoplasts like wot they've got in Superdrug at the moment because I'm a little wounded soldier. I have a big scab on my knee which cracks every time I bend it and catches on the inside of my cords when I walk. It will be ripe for picking in a few days time but for the moment I just need to cover it up. Of course, the Big Question is, what is the best method of plaster-removal? Mum always went for the quick rip approach but the very thought of it makes my eyes water. Not quite as much as the thought of scrubbing with a nail brush at the sticky bits that are left on your leg. Ow, Ow, OW! Let's have some headings... BLACK BORDERED BIT It is with the deepest regret that I announce that my littlest friend, my dear hamster, Thurston, has gone to hammy heaven. I converted a hair dye box into a little hammy coffin and laid him in it and covered him with woolly hammy bedding and buried him under the rosemary bush in the back garden. And shed a little tear. I have such happy memories of him rolling around a home-made hammy assault course in his plastic ball and if I shut my eyes I can still feel him crawling up my arm, over my shoulder and down the back of my cardigan. I'll leave a decent period of mourning (two weeks) and then go out and buy Thurston II. CONTENT? My car stereo plays tapes a bit too speedy-like. Monsieur Murdoch sounds like Bonnie Langford. Isobel's voice is so high pitched that it cannot be detected by humans, but an ever-growing pack of dogs lollops along behind the car, tongues flopping out between their slobbery chops. Not a pretty thing to glimpse in the rear-view mirror. But, as we all know, dogs refuse point blank to break the speed limit so, with a quick burst of the accelerator I can manage a getaway before they do any damage to the exhaust pipe.

His eyebrows started going up and down like the clappers and his moustache started spinning round while he coughed and spluttered something about "in my mouth" and "golden shower", waving his arms up and down like a maniac. He now wants to send in a photgraphic series showing his stop-action erection process, but he hasn't got a scanner. Or a dinkle. I don't mean to be a killjoy, but they're all very Belle and Sebastian body parts, aren't they? Can't someone send in a picture of their massive jugs and saggy-jowelled arse? Speaking of which, I'm not against millennium celebrations because I'm a pathetic pedant, I'm against them because I'm a blody miserable killjoy. Just to prove it, millennium means "the thousand-year reign of Christ and his saints on earth before the end of time". Which changes everything. If Will Smith can release an album called "Willennium", why hasn't Lenny Kravitz released one called "Mi-Lenny-um"? Has anyone mentioned the Richie Coalbum interview on Amazon's website? It adds little or nothing to our knowledge of B&S. The good news is that Richie hasn't written any songs. The bad news is that everyone else has. The other good news is that Amazon are using the interview to sell Steps and Billie records, by means of surreptitiously linked links. I'm relieved to hear that you can only vote once on the Internet though. Many hundreds of years ago, a certain little lady walked by and asked for the address of the "Scottish Guardian" so that she could send Stuart Murdoch her problems. She meant the Glasgow University Guardian, which has an out of date website: http://www.src.gla.ac.uk/publications/guardian/default.html and an e-mail address: guardian at src.gla.ac.uk I'm sure they'll point you in the right direction if you want to send your problems for Murdoch's perusal. There's nothing of interest on the website unless you're the kind of person who takes pleasure from reading about students getting beaten up.

All this talk of McDonalds and McFlurry and McGuiness. Last night I was watching rich mans telly and there was a bloke playing for Dundee called McSkimming. Is that just not the best name ever. Presumably in some previous life he was a plasterer or just an unemployed alcoholic who spent his days throwing stones at ponds. Elvis Preston asked.. >What's japanese for up the bum sex? Can this be the next list competition ? Sarah, you'll have to arrange a prize. A one way ticket to Brentford praps ? Owen got a shag and Lucy Alders got scabs on her knees...can we assume a connection ? Tonight I am Santa. If you were on chat with me last night, I apologise for repeating myself. It's nothing big in itself, or so the girls tell me, but I reckon I could be the youngest Santa ever. I don't think the kids will believe it meself. So be warned, be good, or if you can't be good be very abusive. Adrian. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Thousands of Stores. Millions of Products. All in one place.

Message-ID: Someone mentioned that perhaps some of us fear mentioning some non-indie bands for fear of losing our ultimate twee status. Well, knowing how much being twee and having indie credibility has helped me in the past, here is a list of bands that this Belle and Sebastian fan listens to behind closed doors: The Bee Gees, The Carpenters, Old Elton John (Pre 1980), Jim Croce, The Left Banke, The Raspberries, anything Motown, Patsy Cline, Todd Rundgren, and Cat Stevens. I'd die without albums by these bands. By the way, I'm a bit shocked that I got two list crush votes. It kind of shot my self esteem up, and I would just like to say that would like to marry either of you, whoever you are. Brandt "That lass could use a groundskeeper of her own. Ach!

The most succesful suggestion so far is a pasta-making pre-party , then one fills the largest room in the house with all the spaghetti which have been made, and later,all the guests bath themselves into the pasta-mass in the nudity.Pasta has been preferred to foam because first of all, it is edible and enviromental/household-friendly,but the atmosphere takes after that of some Pet Shop Boys video, glamour, dalmatians and debauchery.This is difficult to imagine knowing my friends, some of them with a declared crusty way of life... I could propose a Sinister inspired party with quick-knitting races,best-mince-pies contest,and to finish with a wild touch, get to the closer supermarket, try to check if the Y2K bug has affected the trolleys system to keep the coins inside and if it not, make them free, collect the coins to get some hot chocolate and churros for everybody (typical breakfast with which every New Year's first morning has to conclude)and go to get our choccie on the trolleys. Any more ideas for this latter? I think we also should need someone like Owen as Sinister spoke-person or my friends will accuse me of twee and quaint and BORING .

Well it's nice to know that I'm not boring....maybe I should start promoting myself as some sort of list celebrity...I could be the mighty dynamo of all things fun in the land of sinister (if you'd met me you'd know that this is a joke) I've just been shocked to find that I was quite high up in the list crush votes when it all ended....ah the value of not owning a scanner it means you lot don't know what I look like and can imagine me however you like. (it also means that I can mention my PENIS on the list and the enforcer can't get me to send a pic to the bodyparts page). anyway on to the real reason for my post. My German flatmate is moving back home soon and was wondering if you can get B&S stuff over there cos she wants some but can't afford it right now so I said I'd ask you lot though I'm not sure if we've even got any Germans on the list. OH just a final clarification, lots of people have wrote shocked sentences such as "Owen got a shag" and I'd just like to point out that I never said that I fucked her and that even if I did do it I wouldn't be the only one on this list to (shock horror) have sex. In fact I know that some of you do it with other list folk which is quite frankly disgusting and shouldn't be allowed (nobody I know should have sex with other people that I know). right I'm gonna stop now not sure if you'll hear from me for a while cos I'm finishing uni for the year at the end of the week and so will be without pooter untill early February. If you don't hear from me this week just remember I love you all bye owen With that the narrow wizard waggled his bushy eyebrows and disappeared in a flash of blue flame leaving behind only a faint smell of cinnamon +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Actually judging by the amount of "hello, I'm new" posts since I last posted (late 1967, I reckon) none of you even know who the hell I am. Though thanks to Carsick Steve and Rachel Tucker for bigging me up far more than I deserve, which just means this post will be considered shite from more angles than usual. I haven't posted for ages because I couldn't be arsed. But as appears to be tradition, I suppose I should say it's my birthday on Saturday and ask if any of you want to come out for a pint. But I wouldn't abuse the list like that, though I can because I have actual real B&S content some way down the page (well, I mention one of B&S in a bizarre animal-related incident). Read on if you must... Due to the general shittiness of life (having no money, owing money I don't have to people, having to go to Spain for a week with my other and better half) I can't go to Tigermilking. Which is a bit of a shame, since later perusal of the photos from my last London sojourn seem to indicate that a good time was had by all, and I may well have had quite a jolly laugh myself. Damned if I can remember though. I used to be a grunger once. And a fraggler. And a goth (for about a fortnight). And a Brit-popper. And a new romantic. And I wanted to be Madonna. Doesn't *everyone* go through these stages? I think it's perfectly acceptable to want to dress in a way that marks out the kind of music you listen to if you want to identify yourself to "similar" types. I tried, but then I realised I was trying too hard, and everyone disliked me because I seemed a bit desperate to make friends (not true, well, not consciously at any rate - I did actually like the music, even Neds Atomic Dustbin). So now I dress how I like and listen to what I like. But I have nothing at all against people who follow any sort of trend (for want of a better word) as long as they genuinely get something out of it. It's wanky poseurs I can't stand. None of my friends who like Belle and Sebastian look like they like Belle and Sebastian, which is rather nice. And they all drink like motherfuckers, especially that Steve Hewitt. And Heather McDonald. And Sarah Wheeler. And Ally, and Calumn..er, this could take a while. Twee? I think not. Last week at Celtic Park I saw Chris Geddes getting quite literally horse-whipped. By a horse. Well, by its tail. It made *me* laugh. Oh God, the stress has been too much for me. I'm off to lie down. I'll maybe surface again sometime in the Millennium (as the Willennium will see me up in Inverness drinking cheap vodka and trying to avoid the free Runrig concert in the town centre). Until then, happy Christmas to those who celebrate it and happy whatever else to those who don't. Happy New Year to everyone, and don't worry if it's shit as it's not actually the end of the millennium until Dec 31st 2000. Yours pedantically Ailsa xxx PS For those of you interested, I got a letter from Big Gay Stu the other month from Chile where he is wandering about glaciers, talking about smut and fantasising about Mars Bars whilst wearing nasty pants and attempting to seduce all the ladies he can find. He says hello. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

The name's Ted Hennessey, and I'm a 19 year old college student at the University of Iowa. I've been a huge B&S fan for almost a year and a half now, and I wonder sometimes if I'm the only one in this state that's heard of this great band. I got hooked last year when I picked up TBWTAS, and I have been addicted since. It took me two months to finally pick up their remaining CDs. I also have quite a bit of Spiritualized in my collection, along with Snow Patrol and also the Gentle Waves (which is a sublimely mellow CD). I attended the Stereolab concert here last Wednesday, and they were great, even though Laetitia was sick and her vocals were not in top form. I hear they cancelled a few dates after the concert here. But they were a great live band. Jim O'Rourke put on a great show too. Well, that's about all from me.

Happy news is that Rosemary is suppose to symbolise rememberence so you may have years to come of lovely Thurston thoughts! I do think Thurston may be a unlucky pet name though, as once I had a Thurston kitty and I went out, with my window and door locked, and when I returned he had vanished for good, sponateous combustion I suppose because their was no trace of my beloved. So sad. Such a lovely name, such a lovely kitty! um, now I am saddened. Okay no B&S content at all, but I am listening to Beautiful so that does count right? Last week I was informed that this should be my theme song, which was quite flattering for two seconds, until I remembered the mental, tempermental bit, not to mention the part where they let her go blind! "Not that part just the beautiful part!" i was told, but then they retracted that and said they were joking! But that is the smallest part of the song really isn't it? Oh life is cruel! I am developing a tempermental complex thouh especially since someone last week was on about how they were feeling disturbed or something,( Not at all these word, but I have no memory!) And then they said they should take up yoga, or maybe not take it up but something about Yoga, which made me all paranoid that I am deeply disturbed , because my greatest love is Yoga, there I have confused! It all began just after Thurston really, so hamster griever beware! Um, I hate to ask but what is going on with the North American tape tree??? Okay well Happy thoughts for everyone! I am off to love my sticky mat! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

I didn't even know about it! they're like my favourite oxford band by a considerable margin (and yes, that does include radiohead), and they're so cute with their stage wear and leaping routines. i'm damn annoyed i can tell you. the sammies are just like buses, they don't play for months and then 2 gigs in a week - they're playing a covers night on friday at the point if anyone's interested, except i can't go then either!! all gigs on the wrong side of payday should be free goddamn, and bus fare and alcohol and.....i'm skint....it's not fair....xmas is too damn expensive.... okay, i've recovered now i've always thought that all you who have b&s dreams were freaks, no offence. i mean, i often have celebrity dreams because they invade the media to such an extent that it's hard to get away from them. this has meant i've woken up in a cold sweat with the horrendous image of ronan keating shagging fern britton. don't ask. however, last night i had a b&s dream. well sort of. admittedly none of the band were in it , but that's not suprising as i only vaguely know what half of them look like. i can't remember much , but it went something like this... i was at the top of a hill, which at the bottom sloped back up to make another hill. like in a v shape. at the top of the other hill opposite was bobby gillespie (you should NEVER listen to 'vanishing point' last thing at night). we were both sat on dogs on wheels (d'you see??) and holding those long pointy sword things (oo-err missuss), like in a jousting competition. being a dream it kind of leapt at this point, and i was hurtling down the hill and when i got to the bottom bobby knocked me off my dog with his sword. the dream tailed off after that, i'm not sure what happened next. still, i don't think i want that analysed.... right, time to rapidly change the subject methinks... so owen pulled a bird then did he? lucky bitch...oops, may have given away one of owen's list crush votes there :-) i can't believe that i am nearly 18, nearly a proper grown-up, and i still got very stressed and worried about parents evening last week. i am still experiencing the aftermath too - my mum's phoned from work twice already today to see that i'm getting on with all my overdue work, and haven't gone out or gone to bed. of course just because i'm at home doesn't mean i'm doing any work.... but no, i feel guilty. must write essay(s). lots of love rachel xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

(Ummm, I can't remember who it was though, sorry eh?) I had a disturbing bus ride in. The usually busy bus I missed. Then this other bus comes screeeeeeching into the station. It said it was the express route on the outside but the crusty little driver said it was a different one. Since I knew I had too wait a long time for the next express, I jumped on. No one else did. We're driving along, TBWTAS playing in my little ears, and he's not picking anyone else up. It was like taking a large, smelly, red stretch limo. I thought for a second that he was trying to steal lil'angelic me...he kept honking at things that weren't there, I wanted to ask him if he was really a bus driver, or did he just steal a bus. I got to work a lot earlier than usual, (I actually started on time eh.) I don't think I want to have my own bus again. I should really get up the balls to talk to the 2 cute boys who usually ride on the same bus as me. Then there would be more than just lil'angel on the bus by his lonesome...and it's always good to talk to cute boys. bye the angel blackwell. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

You look so cute. I want to nestle you all in my arms and sing you christmassy songs about the farmyard. Interestingly that's the name of the next B&S album, the whole sentence. But it's only a working title. Below you'll find the latest B&S diary entry from the Guardian, written by the lovely and fragrant Mickolas Cookulas. He's probably put it on his band site by now, but a few people encouraged me to keep shoving it into your boxes so here it is. Thanks Katrina. Katrina also wished me to alert you to a very sad fact: the proposed Peel session by the band didn't happen - again go to Mick's site for the lowdown. Apparently Stuart David had a runny tummy, how freaky. What a bummer, in fact. For details see: http://www.myspace.co.uk/belleandsebastian/news.html I was much disturbed by Jason's mail about finding an old man dead in a cafe! My goodness, that's hardly a twee thing to find is it, little chickies. It reminded me of when I got back from the Bowlie extravaganza and found our newt Bobbie (or Thelma, we could never tell which was which) dead in our kitchen - he (/she) had made a brave attempt at freedom and crawled out the newt tank, across the kitchen floor and dried out and died by the kitchen door - I imagine the poor little thing getting slower and slower like Charles Hawtrey in the desert in Carry On Follow That Camel (Bowlie link, trivia fans). Amazingly the cats hadn't eaten Bob/Thel, which is odd because they eat everything, including raw pasta and earwax. I cried and cried after finding the newt dead honestly, you can ask Linda or Michele, I was a real pain. I imagined Jason's old man like the poor little shrivelled newt leaning over a bowl of newt soup, only in a suit and tie and possibly a newt hat, and then I thought that's a bit insulting because people are supposed to be more important than newts. You can see an artist's impression of Bobby and Thelma on the "things" photo page if you want. There's lots of other new photos too, some rude. Next week: newt bodyparts. Finally a Christmas plea. I know a make a pain of myself on this list, so I daren't do it on another one too. For two years I've jealously lusted after a copy of the Marbles list's double CD "Dustbin" and sent off three sets of blank CDs to people who've not sent me a Dustbin back and my heart is wilting from disappointment. If anyone HAS a copy and the ability to do me one, I'll be your friend forever, and you can meet Jesus in our kitchen. See, we have a baby newt now, born posthumously after Bobbie/Thelma died, so it's a sort of mysterious virgin birth newt thing, and when it grows up might well be Jesus of the newt world, which brings us back to Christmas and makes me think of the lovely Low EP, even though Jesus Newt might come to a sticky end, if newts are as cruel as people. So if anyone can send me a Dustbin set, you can be a newt Wise Man or Shepherd and bring bloodworm, frankincense and myrrh and be a star in the Newt Estament. Finally finally: for all of you going away over Christmas and the Milleniummm, or just intending to turn off your computers and contemplate celestial peace and goodwill PLEASE remember to suspend your list subscription over the holiday period. It's dead easy, you just send a mail with "set sinister nomail" in the body of your message to "majordomo at majordomo.net" and then send a "set sinister mail" when you get back - "set sinister-digest nomail" etc. if you're a digester. If you do, you won't get put back in the nursery, if you don't and your mail account runs over quota, I get a deluge of error messages and the list software suspends your account. If you want to see more details, refer to a mail of mine from ages ago at: http://www.mail-archive.com/sinister at majordomo.net/1999-month-03/msg00254.html which I see is poignantly titled "Sinister: Bobby and Thelma doing fine". I think I'm going to cry again. Sorry for all the newt stuff. Honey x ************* DIARY OF A BAND 8th December 1999 Belle and Sebastian's trumpet player takes his turn to write for Guardian So we all trooped down to Newcastle to record for The Apocalypse Tube. It was not quite what we had expected. More than half of the 'live' show was pre-recorded. And much to Stevie's dismay, Paul McCartney was no longer recording on the same day as us, as was planned. The train broke down ten minutes outside of Edinburgh, so we waited an hour and a half before a new engine arrived. Richard and I got chatting with a really nice old lady, which passed the time. We ended up an hour late for the soundcheck. Stuart David had driven down with his brother, so was already sitting there on the vast stage (complete with 12 foot catwalk- it was the same stage as Robbie Williams was using) when we arrived. We had to go on quite late, because Carl Cox was late arriving. He just shuffled in, did his fifteen minutes, then pissed off again. Business as usual for him, I expect. The only other band being recorded on the Friday was Underworld, so the audience was somewhat different from the audience we're used to. Most of the women looked as though they were auditioning for a part in a dramatisation of Sid the Sexist, and one guy was even wearing see-through PVC trousers and Ali G shades. We had to tell them that this was the chill-out part of the evening. That seemed to go down okay. We recorded two songs. We did two takes of one, 'The Loneliness of a Middle Distance Runner'. We asked if they could show the first. They showed the second. All I can remember about that second take was me playing the wrong chord at one point, and Stevie turning to me and shouting, 'Play the right chords mate!'. Although said purely in jest, I went to pieces, playing a succession of wrong chords after that. Afterwards, in the hotel bar, our manager Neil and Tony (Doogan, our producer) did us proud by humiliating several members of Chris Moyles' entourage. Neil poured gin into Moyles' pint when he wasn't looking. Tony challenged one of them to a Riverdancing competition, and proceeded to wipe the floor with him. Comedy Dave, my arse.

Oh, but they have, Nick, they have. In fact, I first met Mike in Antwerp in 1989 when I was sent to cover the shooting of "Anti-Oedipus!", the Lionel Bart musical adaptation of Deleuze and Guattari's schizoanalytic classic. One of the leading lights of the Belgian moog-gazing scene, Mike had been hired to provide "rhizoliminal digi-glitch" on the soundtrack. Despite falling out with the director (a youthful Alec Empire) before the film's completion, Mike was later awarded the highly-coveted Golden Phenome prize by Gothenburg's "Planckspenker" magazine, for his contribution to cinematic esoterrorism. IX I wonder if anyone has taken Stewpot up on his plaintive offer to help people with their problems. I ask, because it looks like he's being left behind in the popstar Agony Aunt stakes by Scandi-pop weirdnik Stina Nordenstam. If you go to her website (http://www.nordenstam.com), after navigating through a Borgesian cyber-labyrinth, you end up at a dialogue page where you can ask lickle Stina questions, and she replies to them in her own eccentric ice-pixie fashion. It's all very sweet. VIII I say! Have I been smoking crack again, or did Honey say he imagined Jason Andreas' old chap to be like a shrivelled-up newt? VII Thai news: "A dream holiday in a sunflower field in Lop Buri turned into nightmare for a young female tourist who ran into an attack from an army of bees". (Bangkok Post, 13 December 1999). VI Watchauptoo this Friday, then? If you're in London Town, why not come along to Covent Garden's seminal Poetry Cafe and dig da new soundz of The Pines (featuring Pam "She's a little bit country" Berry and Joe "He's a little bit rock and roll" Brooker) and Harvey Williams vs Josh Gennet? You also get to see me do my Paxman impression ("hurry up!") in the exciting new quiz game, Sinister Challenge. Contact me via that there tapetty lightbox for further details. V Forget your Blair Witch Projects, your Sixth Senses and your Funkyseb in the BT ad, the scariest thing I've seen all year is that creepy-looking woman who sings with the Wamdue Project. But what on earth is she going on about? "Must be a reason why I'm free in my trestle?" "Must be a reason why I'm free to mud wrestle?". Or what? IV Are you doing anything on Tuesday 21st of December, then? Cos that lovely Baxendale band are playing at the Betsey Trotwood pub in Farringdon. Ask me nicely for more details. III Denim news: It's been too long since we last heard from Lawrence-out-of-Denim, but I have it on very good authority (ie Tim from Baxendale, who's just been recording in the same studio) that he's about to stun us all with the greatest come-back since Lazarus. Apparently his new band is called Go-Kart Mozart and the forthcoming record includes tributes to Um-Bongo ("they drink it in the Congo") and Wendy James. I can hear Peter Miller salivating from here. II Talking of Peter Miller, anyone expecting a copy of papercuts should receive it before xmas. I'm sorry about the delay, but I am very lazy. Incidentally, Peter, I just had a gander at your website (http://www.perpetualocean.com/bio.html) and it's very impressive. Do you have any copies of "Gremlins of the Clouds" for sale? I They showed Logan's Run on telly the other day, just to rub in the fact that I will be 30 tomorrow. Flowers, condolences, etc to the usual address, please.

I'm making an effort, I've missed her so. When I was nine, I set up a proper funeral for my deceased Hamster, Bazil (after a childhood obsession with Faulty Towers). The coffin, a Ferrero rocher box, was lowered into a shallow grave with gold ribbons (I only had little hands, and a little plastic spade, so it had to be shallow..). Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.Dignified, eh? well no, not really, the Hissing Cat from next door dug the coffin up a few days later and dragged poor Bazil's carcus up to our doormat. That cat, which is black incidentally, so it *must* be evil, now saunters around my back garden at it's lesuire. I chased after it with a kitchen knife once. We havent been invited to the annual neighbourhood 'mince pies and loft extension chat' meet-up *again* this year. A connection, perhaps? Being given flowers randomly, that's just lovely, isn't it? Like finding unexpected packages in the mail. I got once of those today, with Scott Walker tunes inside. I threw a flower at Cliff Jones once, I'd been walking round all day with it tucked behind my ear. He ignored it. He jumped into the crowd and sang to me, which I found most embarassing. I don't like his music, I just like his pretty face. But I have a feeling it's going to hell. Jenowl, I'm after an update. I think in right in saying that you new a girl in the year above you at school who liked belle and sebastian, or something along those lines? The thing is, I've recently befriended a girl in the year below me, and we're going to Bar Italia together this friday, wearing silver shoes. So you simply must befriend her, because it could really be worth it. She might lend your her Baby Birkin cd, and you might be able to hide behind the geography block together, smoking malboro lights and swapping LoveRat stories. > funny, i can contemplate selling cds with much more equilibrium than >selling books. i just love my books too much, even the crap ones. they >look so colourful and pretty and wise lined up on the shelves. I onced tried to encourage listees to discuss whether they would sell their legs for money at a picnic. It didn't go down to well, I must say, and I counted at least 5, count 'em, 5 "what are you like?" glances and 1 "shut up, stupid girl" frosty stare. Bear in mind I did have my own leg in a pretty hefty bandage at that point, and was contemplating what would happen if my poor leg fell off. This does have a link to the above paragraph. Oh yes. Yes yes yes. In a simalar kind of conversation this weekend, someone asked me if I'd rather go blind, or deaf. I said deaf...I'd rather live life as a silent film than just be given the soundtrack, and with books, because they're pretty magic, arent they? I've broken my "can't read books" bind by reading Bonjour Tristesse in private study today. Bon chic! I'm going to a Heroes and Villans party tommorow night. I am going as bondgirl villan Magda, and Hannah as heroine Tinkerbell. This is entirely appropriate. I can shoot a townie down at fifty paces, you know. Pink tights or no pink tights. BANG! Blood splattered shiny nightclub walls, the heavy throb of dance music in my ears. I guess I could always blame Marilyn Manson. I was telling you to sew things onto your clothing. Don't forget to take the needle out when you've finished, and not absent mindely pull your jeans on like I did. You'd never think such a tiny cut would bring so much blood, would you?

Colleen: > my primate friend turned > me on to B&S about uhh hmm a year ago You have a friend who's a monkey? And he listens to B&S? Are B&S a monkey-friendly band? Do orangutangs swing through the treetops with Sinister on their minidisc players? I mean obviously Looper are monkey-influenced, their album being called Up A Tree and all, but does Struan write songs specifically for gorillas? As most people know, monkeys are traditionally Fleetwood Mac fans, what with Stevie Nicks being a chimpanzee in disguise, so getting them to like fey indie pop is harder than you may think. However I'm willing to believe that B&S could have a "cult monkey" following, and a new generation of monkeys are making Murdoch's mob THEIR band. The next time you see a monkey in the rain forest or down the pub, look very closely at their chests and I'll bet you'll see a B&S badge in amongst the matted hair and parasites.

Except Honey wasn't there, unfortunately. Thora Hird was, though. You should see some of the things that woman can do with a rubber truncheon. I ask you. Angel again: > My friends Diana and Debbie were out last night at a little P!O!P! night and > they looked like they had fun. Debbie even danced last night.

Which is just plain disgusting. Should be ashamed of herself, that one. Orbitat said, about Snow Patrol: > stay as far away as possible, so you dont get > infected with this ugly disease like i did. Blimey, that's a bit harsh. I've heard bands described as ugly (have you SEEN The Barenaked Ladies?), but a disease is going a bit far. Unless of course they've let horrible rats pee all over the cds before distributing them. If this is the case I apologize and wish you a speedy recovery. Also on The History Of The POP Video was a bout half a second on FunkySeb's historic Moby video appearance, which I saw for the first time. I was duly impressed by the man, especially after missing the spectacle of his dancing abilities at Bowlie.

Instead I spent 24 quid on lots of cheapo second hand stuff, which will probably result in more fun in the long term. However I may purchase Mr Lawrence's album sometime in the future. There's also a rather amusing review in Tag Mag Uncut this month, penned by none other than Bob "he's in St Etienne, you know" Stanley. Lastly, a very happy birthday to Mr Stevie for tomorrow, who's not old, he's just nicely matured like a stinking piece of cheese. May Cliff have mercy on your soul.

(this is the part where YOU say, "oooh get me away from here I'm dying") But first, I promise never to go for the tall elegant rich kids....I just want all the girls to know that. If you break down Simon Barsinister in Hebrew, it actually means Simon Son of Sinister, I guess sort of like Simon McSinister, or Simon O'Sinister, or Simon Sinisterson. Boy those Underdog cartoon people were well advanced musically. Bad news folks, last weekend I took "The Major" to see Grandma and Grandpa (very far away) and I was sort of stumped as to how I was going to last an entire weekend without any B&S. So I took along Tigermilk. The Major likes listening to Tigermilk when he goes to sleep. For those who would like to know more about The Major, list mummy has a pic of him to post, he is going to be 8 years old on December 30. Well, it seems like I forgot the cd in the tray and now Grandpa has my Tigermilk cd. Knowing the musical tastes of Grandpa, I don't expect to ever see it again. B&S Dreams.....at first I never expected to actually have a dream about B&S, but yet, it did happen. For those living in the Toronto area, my dream was that they were coming to Toronto to play. This was a good thing, except that I wasn't able to get tickets. This was easily overcome when I met up with Mick and we hung out together before the concert and he got me a backstage pass. The only thing I can't figure out was why Mick was dressed like Gene Simmons. Don't get me wrong, he looked cool in the outfit with the cape, but it just seemed weird that he would be dressed that way in Toronto's subway system. I'm taking the dream as a premonition that B&S will be coming to Toronto. Stupid bit..... I heard Brilliant Career before I heard Boy Done Wrong Again.....I thought TBWTAS came out before IYFS....so at the end of the song BDWA...I am reminded of Jeff Bridges in Thunderbolt and Lightfoot towards the end of the movie when he is having stroke symptoms and I though there was a connection...... Pictures.....no longer does anyone have the excuse not to have their pictures scanned since I am offering free scanning services to those who wish. You can mail your photos to me at: Alexander Borgia PO Box 33528 50 Dundurn St Hamilton, Ontario Canada L8P 4X4 I will return your pictures to you after I have scanned them, I will not send the scanned images to anyone except the sender, and discretion is completely assured. (It's one of those things I will stake my professional reputation on) For those who have mention the lovely Miss Bush.....God put Kate Bush on the earth so that we could hear what He hears when the angels talk to Him. Then he discovered that not enough people were paying attention so he sent us Isobel. Bye kids....

Oh, Stevie. You and I both know it was six months earlier at that Brother Beyond PA in Shepshed. I was in charge of greasing the mic-stands and you were looking after the Jaffa Cakes. You - resplendent in ‘Chase MeÂ’ beret and olive tank-top, me - nervous in my bubble-perm and Morgan Fairchild-emblazoned Parka. The BBs did their stuff, we zipped up the body-bags together and stumbled into the East Midlands night. It was well past 10 oÂ’clock when we parted, three and a half tumblers of cherry brandy down the line... With a look precisely half-way between utter vacancy and shrieking sexual confusion, you clasped my shoulder just as my cab rolled up and whispered in my ear: "This time next year, Rodders - weÂ’ll be willionaires". To this day, IÂ’m haunted by that phrase. And the ghost of Arthur Askey. > Mike was later awarded the highly-coveted Golden Phenome > prize by Gothenburg's "Planckspenker" magazine, for his contribution > to cinematic esoterrorism. Hrmph.

My little rodents are all dead now bless them but the vision of Hammy Biggles little, snow-white corpse next to his (favourite) red wheel still sticks in my mind - 2 huge worms, each more than twice the length of him were crawling out of his eye holes and rear end. To think that all that while they'd been eating away inside of him and he suffered in snuffling silence. Incidently we buried the hamster next to the dead cat so there was no repeat of Erica's Bazil on the doormat tale. Next day in school all the other children laughed at me when I broke down in the middle of an English presentation. CHILDREN - saying that in the last sentance makes me feel old, like I'm the Werther's Originals grandad telling my Sinister grandkids about the golden days when Curly Wurlys were bigger and the choclate snapped off them.... and they were I tell you. Oh childhood ... ramble ... ramble ... in Uni today `everybodies` favourite DJ painter was singing 2 lines of the theme to The Littlest Hobo wrongly repeatedly. Do you know how annoying that is to have someone you don't talk to due to pure malice repeat thinks again and again and you know he's wrong but you can't say anything so you hold it all up inside you as resentment and then you just want to hit his stupid hippity-hopping cheeks with a pair of pliars (I have the pliars) again and again and again for ever time he defiled the Hobo pup. I felt like my childhood was being bastardised - that was the sorta point of this bit. Sorry for digressing. Anger and pure aggression - always nice to slip a bit of it to the Twee Kingdom. And I had a Bob Dylan dream and a dream about kissing a girl as I hung out of a car and she drove it off a cliff and into the sea and all the blood coming out of me as I was dragged down the cliff face was just such a turn on. So I'm getting ready for a B&S wet dream any day now I reckon. Ah-ha I mentioned B&S just once so that means I can get away with one list abuse in return. Just a quick one: Anybody know anything interesting about the cartoonist Ralph Steadman (he of Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas fame) if so please mail it me and make my dissertation a communal effort in the process. Thanks. The History of The Pop Video. Apparantly it's all because of Weird Al.

(of dictionary fame). It is: morass -- something that traps, confuses, or impedes. Good god, now m-w has gotten into my brain. But my brain pronounced it "more-ass" b/c my brain is a sick fuck and finds such things funny. oooh, I blame this all (the swearing, the lame jokes, etc.) on having just watched Dogma, the new k. smith movie. hmmm. *somebody's* read too many comic books... but it did have some good lines. i will have to let it sink in a bit more, i suppose. Anyway, words are lovely things no matter what you do to them. In fact, they are better when you do things to them. But you certainly won't win at scrabble, oh no. Scrabble isn't about words, it's about winning and when things are about winning, they are not about meaning and feeling words in your mouth. generalizations are dangerous. lizations cause infections. generals cause swollen glands and bus accidents. i wrote a poem on a dog biscuit. then the poetry cochroach ate it. maybe i should just change my style. Oh yes, i've caught up with the times and discovered Galaxie 500. Soon I will discover other amazing things, like antibiotics and pocky. Ah, but oh, wow, what was I doing with myself when galaxie 500 was around other than not realizing their existence? I was young, I went to school dances, I listened to a.m. morning radio. All the right things at the right times in the right places, hmm. I...don't...know. oh wait, i'm not this weird at all, you know. Just the other day i was walking home from work and composing quite a sane message to you. And then I thought, I will never remember this, and then i thought, aren't you're talking to yourself really, and it all went down hill from there and, hence, this. Funny thing was, I was actually walking downhill at the time... All this millennium/willenium/thrillenium talk is causing small seizures in my elbows. I too plan on having a few good decades of fun and pleasure and outrageous notoriety and then (like a smart smart person on this list has said) I too plan on being dead for a good bit of the selenium, thanks. Or maybe by that time I will have grown the massive ego necessary to have myself frozen for the benefit of future generations. Ha. Conversation btwn old barely-thawed me and a future person: Future person: "So, I'm talking to you via telepathy, isn't that interesting and different?" Me: --- Future person: "Ha ha, you suck." Me: --- Our time is now... I'm walking here! I watched midnight cowboy the other night. a great film. I am thankful for what I have, which includes heat and food. Unfortunately, my landlady is a little nuts (aren't they all? I think they are) and, also unfortunately, has control of the heater and keeps it low. Not a good thing for someone who enjoys walking around in bare feet. Frickin' damn, i could erase that bit and not have to send my feet in to the body bits site, but it's all integral to my greater message... But I don't have a scanner either. But I guess it's all about getting off one's, er, not being so lazy and taking the photos and hopping down to the local printers and scanning body bits while the pimply kid with questionable computer knowledge smirks behind his patchy goatee the smug yet insecure smirk of a computer help person whose help I do not need. So you can see how i will have to just continue waiting for the new scanner to arrive at work, just as i have been waiting for the past 6 months. So who is going to own 2017? Because I think if we pooled our money, we could call it The Year of Sinister and make our mark on history. Oh c'mon, it's all for sale and you know it. It'll be fun. I was going to sell my soul to VW, but they said they already had it. I asked if I could buy it back and they said how much. I said I'd give them my body for my soul back. And then we got into a big argument about minds in vats and someone said descartes and I ran off and wrote this email. Then I told you that I loved you. Then I stopped writing this letter.

Before I go any further, I would like to send a message of congratulations and respect (or 'mad props', as I believe they are known) to three listees; 1)Ms Lucy Alder, for one of the funniest nearly-rude expressions I have ever heard. I laughed out loud, thus drawing the attention of my colleagues and boss, alerting them to the fact that I have figured out a password to get internet access at work, even though I shouldn't be able to. I may get the sack, but it would be worth it for that one gag. 2)The Enforcer, for all the good work. I just like it. 3)George Henry Dickie. He's grown on me, what can I say? I like the boxing analogies. Speaking of which, more respect to Mr Muhammed Ali, officially sporting hero of the century thanks to the BBCs viewers, who showed a sight more taste than the wankers who voted Westlife as single of the year. I went for Lou Bega myself, and where did he end up? Nowhere, that's where. Went to a party last night that ended up in a bunfight, but it snowed as we walked home which made everything alright by me. No foxes though, unless you count my girlfriend. Which you wouldn't because she is minging.* Only kidding, she actually looks like one of The Coors. The bloke.* George Henry Dickie quotes Stuart M in his post, and I like the fact that Stuart uses the phrase "They haven't got a scooby". I'll have to remember to use that. I would also add that I can't see how pouring gin into Chris Moyles' drink can be seen as anything but an act of kindness and charity. Arantxa: try 'Living Like A Donkey' by Mike Nicholls. Not very easy to get hold of, but the best donkey song this boy's ever heard anyway. Give Selectadisc a whirl. Well I'll leave you now, my beauties. If I don't see you before I unplug my mailbox for a fortnight, please have a rock'n'roll Christmas. For me.

Message-ID: I had a dream last night that I was at a show or something and someone made me a tape but it was missing one crucial song. So in front of a bunch of people including shelflife ed, I pulled out my old shelflife popfest tape and had them tape pin striped suits by Skypark in the spot. Very strange. Some things I meant to address the past couple of digests. 1. Was it Snow Patrol that wanted to call themselves Polar Bear? The Polar Bear who had the name to begin with was Eric Avery from Jane's Addiction and Harold Barefoot Sanders III from the seriously underrated Ethyl Meatplow. I just thought I'd share. 2. Unfortunately Kate Bush's voice is not what angels hear when god speaks to them. that would be Rose Melberg's voice. 3. You know, if NYC's Metropolitan Transit Authority had gone on strike, I wish that MTA's throughout the nation would strike as well in a move of solidarity. But then again, there I go again with my silly beliefs on labor relations. Christ, I just heard an NPR overwriting for Mannheim Steamroller. Isn't that a sign of biblical Armaggedon?

As an educated man I've always maintained that Brother Beyond were put on this earth to "bring like minded people together in the name of global harmony" and this just further proves my point. I love it when I'm right. Their shameless public reminiscing has also helped me rediscover a period of my life that I had previously thought lost. After weeks of intense hypnotherapy and ritualistic beatings administered by the cast & crew of the musical CATS, under the able supervision of one "Mr Howe" (a retired Police Officer and unsuccessful Khmer Rouge candidate for Swansea East in 1980's General Election) in a parked van somewhere in Croydon, I'm pleased to share with you what I remember of that happy but turbulent time. It was 1987 and fresh out of Borstal I decided to take my particular brand of populist street magic and petty larceny onto a wider European audience. After a summer of ecstatic acclaim I eventually arrived at the picturesque Bavarian seaside town of Lauf an der Pegnitz. As you're all undoubtedly aware Lauf is a small and unremarkable place for much of the year, but at the end of summer the town's population is traditionally boosted by holidaying Royalty and the illegitimate offspring of the infamous 1971 Real Madrid squad. This particular year proved to be no exception. Before long my cheeky street theatre had attracted quite a reasonable crowd. As they held their collective breath and waited for my grand finale (I'd once again like to state that the boy was never in any real danger & the injuries he sustained whilst unfortunate could not have been anticipated and were clearly NOT the result of any carelessness on my part as the Magistrate initially implied)I was distracted by none other than a pre-Belle's Isobel Campbell flogging her patented homemade lip balm to locals and tourists alike from a sparsely decorated stall adjacent to the Train Station. Even then I could sense she was destined for greater things. We embarked on a torrid affair that was as fleeting as it was intangible and fictitious. I don't want to dwell on the painful details but it resulted in the accidental desecration of a nearby Church and the loss of electrical power to around 23,000 households, both of which events I now deeply regret. Of course the human mind is a funny old thing and some of that might not actually have occurred, or even worse still could have been implanted in my subconscious by Mr Howe and his gang of grinning thespians. But then again, whenever I listen to my advance copy of the new Gentle Waves album "Napalm Tsunami !" between the gut pounding bass and primal screaming I kinda get the feeling that she remembers me too. Hmmm - what I really meant to say is that myself and a few degenerate pals will be in sunny Prague over the Will2K so if there's a thriving Czech Sinstah scene out there and someone wants to meetup then please let me know. Merry Christmas everyone and pleeaze don't buy any of the current crop of seasonal singles, it only encourages them.

Message-ID: <0.8c9cf9f1.25893c4b@aol.com> Are there any other Wannadies fans on the list? I've been listening to their US album all week...its truly amazing. I like it even more because every song is associated with something else of the past summer, 'cause thats when I really got into it. Like playing basketball in the evenings once it cooled down, or driving to the Ocean on 3 hours of sleep, or driving go-karts, or waiting outside an all-you-can-eat buffet in Ocean City, totally drunk and sunburned. Plus its a fab album in its own rights. Everything about that band seems to be getting pushed back as of late, and its making me a bit frustrated. I think they're new album is due out in the States shortly after the New Year, but their website has been down for the past 3 months, so thats a little hard to verify. I really, really, really hope they tour soon. I hear they live in London now and sleep in the nightbuses in Chingford or something, so keep an eye out. All this talk about dead animals isn't doing wonders for my holiday spirit. I had a cat named Gobo once (named for the lead Fraggle in Fraggle Rock), but he died two years ago. We still have his ashes upstairs, 'cause we had him for 12 years and he was the first pet our family really had. In the nativity scene we set up under our tree every year, without fail he would plop himself down just behind the manger and squeeze his huge head inside the back of it so that he knocked over half the wise men and the sheperd boys. We'd set them back up, but he'd do the exact same thing the next day. He was funny like that. Someone try to tell me that "It's Christmas Time Charlie Brown" is a total redneck waste of time, and I told him to piss off. Everything Charles Schultz has ever done is pure genius, especially the Christmas episode. I can't think of a single thing you could change about it. I really hope he recovers from his colon cancer surgery (Charles Schultz that is) and doesn't discontinue the strip on January 1st as he plans to. Forget about Y2K, that's a national calamity. Well, that and South Park is probably hanging up the gloves this Spring too. I locked my keys in my car today, with the ignition running. Blame it on my finals I say...they've sapped my brains.

I'm thinking Dildo for next week because that's the latest rude word I learned). I know someone though who squeezed his goldfish till it's eyeballs shot out. Just for a laugh. I think that's really sick. And it must have made a bit of a mess on the ceiling. Poor fish, i like them even if they smell like the school girls toilets. There's so many poetry animals we should start a poetry zoo. I'd invent a poetry owl. Maybe if Owen the Narrow Wizard is really magic he could become the list santa claus. Or maybe not...

OK, i hear you say, but we're doing this all the time, but at least in a language everybody can understand, so what the fuss?.. what does it have what has it got to do with B&S? Well it's cos they have published the words to le pastie de la bourgeoisie (13.12.), and it's for sure the best piece of prose that's on there. And the page where guests can publish own texts is called 'loop'. their side-project, so to say... Fear is creeping. loop-looper.. i tell you, there's a conspiracy going on! They want B&S to become cool, a murmured hipster-tip! don't let them do this! B&S to the normal people, to the twee next-door! who knows, maybe they're even spying on us.. komm raus, christian kracht, oder ich barre dir ein stück rad, dass es goetzt! ho hum.. sorry. it's a thing between tscherrmans, you know. oh and to answer the question someone asked, you can get the B&S- albums fairly easily in germany.. i've even seen TBWTAS for just 20 DM (6 GBP or so) in a cd-megastore. It wasnt like that in the 'ole days.. IYFS was the most expensive record i've ever bought! It was probably the only copy in cologne. I'm very proud of this ;) Mentions of fraggles on the list again.. be careful, kids. we dont want another fraggle-crisis. >> And also bizarrely this week I've been told I could possibly be sent to Paris, France for 6 weeks to do some "user acceptability testing" << oh, great. I'm a user and I'm quite acceptable. Test me. Oh wait.. i got sent a questionnaire about everything today, from car (previous, current, next one) to how often i clean my windows, and with what. Now I see the connection.......... two conspiracies in one mail. it's gettin' spooky. >> You *are* kidding. You do know if you speak of a "flurry" in England...or perhaps The North...or perhaps just me.... you mean VOMIT??? Or do I mean "Slurry"? Either words do, they still remind me of vomit. Which is never USUALLY what McDonalds does of course...<< it's called McFlurry in france too.. hmmmm... 'mec fleury'='flowery man'. very strange. owen flowery, have you ever been to france, or how could they come out with this? - i see, hence the new cinnamon perfume they've got for the McFlurry. it contains substances that makes you hurry to the crush-site and vote for the narrow wizard. 3 conspiracies in just one post! i better go before i find out that isobel is an undercover agent sent out by pete waterman. bye Jan PS: the trout is somewhere in there. be careful though. it's nuclear The Dark Site of the Moon: http://perso.club-internet.fr/jimgrund/index.html Tindersticks page: http://perso.club-internet.fr/jimgrund/tinderpage/tinder.html To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance. -Oscar Wilde +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Before coming to uni, the everyday soundtrack of my life was R.E.M.In my schoolyears, they were there everyday.Gave me inspiration and influenced me.Then,this summer my dream of seeing them live came true.Then i left my house-and litterally everything- behind and started a new life.And the soundtrack of this new life is Belle & Sebastian.The first cd I bought here was Tigermilk.I have met some beautiful people because of B&S.It is weird that a band can bring so much happiness to a person's life.It's not only the happiness that the music gives.It's all that has preceded the music and all that has come afterwards.The thoughts and the feelings.

HISTORY young roddy spoke of violence erupting while watching the bootleg beatles. said band played at my graduation ball and hence will always connote worse things than thuggish threats: drunken lovey-dovey couples the male halves of whom i had previously had my heart broken by, my own soon-to-be-ex boyfriend not there, feeling stupid trying to do the twist in a huge ballgown, not getting drunk enough, saying goodbye to the happiest days of my life. if i ever see them live again i'll probably have a nasty flashback and the tears held back for a decade or whatever will all come flooding out. hm, that wasn't very cheery. anyway, i accidentally heard the westlife cover of 'seasons in the sun' the other day, and that made graduation seem like a picnic (a sinister one of course.) NAUTICAL NAUGHTINESS did you know that the names 'morrissey' and 'murdoch' are actually quite closely related, etymologically? they both derive from words to do with the sea, murdoch means 'sea warrior' i believe. which will come as no surprise to those of us who've seen struan's longboat. ie. owen. DEAD ANIMALS CAUSE ATHEISM my house was the biggest pet cemetery ever. we had about 7 mice, all of whom were called monty, all of whom escaped, and all of whom were subsequently savaged by our cat (rover). then there were gerbils sooty and sweep, who produced 11 babies, then succumbed to a bout of post-natal depression and both died, leaving the babies to slowly starve to death. that was when i started to mime the words to the lord's prayer in school assemblies, i think. the show is over, thought i'd something more to say... happy liza minelli-um, luv archel ps: happy birthday trousers and ailsa - i'll see one of you, sorry to the other one! ********* Rachel Playforth archel at iname.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Mmm, yes it's me again. Today I went into town and appeared to have developed *the mysterious stare of the hex*, as everyone I looked at seemed to fall over, or hit their boyfriend, or have a spastic fit. Oh dear. Just when things are going okay, I'm bestowed with a gift from the devil. Just my luck. Whilst looking for Christmas presents and buying NONE I decided that this season of goodwill I would give myself to the world of literature - you know, books - and so I bought a copy of Father Brown Investigates. I averted my eyes from the bookseller as I did this, just in case. He'd never suspect my affliction if I just keep my head down and hand him a book about a Catholic priest, I thought. Last night I was entertained by Lionel Blair with his devouring smile and Linda Lusardi with her doubly devouring thighs at the city pantomime. The place was full of fat mums, purple-rinsed grandmas and spoilt kids, all joined together in the festive spirit of laughing at a man in drag and seven tiny little men. They were very small - I suppose that's why they provided binoculars. Tiny, little, men. Seven of them. Dick Whittington it was, I think. Lionel Blair reminds me a bit of Lenny The Lion with his luxurious, ever so manly mane. If only Lenny could tap dance, maybe he'd still have a career. I was discussing the Willenium yesterday with my mate and he said that if someone knocked on his door on New Years Eve dressed in a beard and sandals, like Jesus, he'd go bonkers. I think I would too. So I've decided, that for the Willenium, instead of going to some crazy party, I'm going to dress up in a beard, sandals and a comfortable pair of pants, tie my feet to a couple of barrels and float down the Thames, as if I was "walking on water", singing songs from "Jesus Christ Superstar". I wonder what would happen. On the B+S website they mention that they've recorded "over twenty" songs for the new album but don't know which ones to put on it yet. Sounds to me like they need a helping hand with deciding. I vote for a Pokemon-style face-off between the band members to sort things out. Imagine Pikachu Murdoch with special triangular face power versus Jigglytuff Campbell with plastic mac power. robinxxxxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Sure I've seen one or two, but I don't "picture" the band when I listen to them. So in my dream I was on the bus and there was a question of if we should open the window or not. And I met a gentleman but the name of Stuart M, and I realized "oh, that's the belle and sebby guy", but he looked so old! In my dream he was wearing an orange t-shirt under a coat (brown? olive?) and had greying hair. He wasn't grandparently old, but just a bit younger than my parents (late 30s). Hmmm, as it would probably be in real life I had nothing to say to him on the bus. But it was an appropriate place to see him I suppose. I've been compiling a list of those who e-mailed me about meeting up in NYC for ice skating next week. Tonight I will e-mail the whole bunch so we can vote on a time. Is anyone opposed to me inviting the indiepoplist as well?

Esosoft ("majordomo.net"), the people who provide the service to make this list work have done the dirty on us and are pulling the plug in the next week or so, although they won't say when exactly, and offering to move it to a "free" service provider which won't work for us. They've just sent the most insulting email imaginable informing me of their new "partnership" with topica.com, meaning they don't make enough money from selling mailing lists any more and they're giving or selling all your addresses, without your permission to one of these "free" mailing lists providers, which in fact make money from adverts to YOU. The outcome of this "new opportunity" for us all to move to Topica would be far-reaching and I suspect finish us off pretty quickly. Topica is like Onelist, Listbot, and the many other free mailing list providers - they work fine for small or inactive lists, but with over a 1000 subscribers this list comes close to being unmanageable very often even now, and the reams of software I've written to work with Majordomo (the list software) and Esosoft's specific enhancements just tip the scale in the positive direction and allow it to all keep working. Without this there's not a hope I could handle the error-trapping, helping people out with different email address versions who can't post, stopping the tide of junk mail, HTML mail, virus warnings, and all the mailing list handling details on the WWW site. It just, honestly, would be too much to do, with an active vibrant community such as you. It will in any case also mean an end to the nursery (people in the nursery don't yell "yeah!" all at once - you'll see the point when you're a list member and we don't have one!) I'm completely livid at this, and am going to forward a mail to you all I'm sending to Esosoft's own mailing list for list admins, which I fully expect them to block, I'm sad to say. I'm also copying it to some other interested parties, but I expect it's not going to change minds at Esosoft. I'm really sorry to bore you all with this and I promise I won't keep on passing on correspondence: I know lots of you are just here with a passing interest, and as has been said on many occasions "it's not the fucking United Nations supply line". I know, I know, but enough people have told me this list has been important to their own lives for me to want to find a way through this mess so unceremoniously dumped on us, and with such exquisite timing. Finally a few things for now: 1. Please don't send mail to my Esosoft address any more, as I suspect the carpet will be pulled from under my feet. My new email address is "honey at missprint.org", PLEASE update all your address books now. 2. Thanks so much for those who want to offer support over this. My email box is a major source of stress to me these days and I'm only just keeping my head above water. Please this time, for sure, understand that messages of support won't get a reply. I'm really sorry for this, and shed a tear everytime I don't reply to someone who took the time to help, and it really does help, but I'm sinking fast here. 3. IF however you KNOW of a good Majordomo (ONLY) mailing list provider who doesn't cost much and has a good reputation please mail me immediately with as many details as you can. It HAS to be Majordomo, so please check first, and offers of the use of someone's work machine, while kind, just wouldn't provide a reliable environment I'm afraid. But anyone who knows of someone good commercially, I'll kiss you all over it if works out. 4. If Esosoft or Topica have the GALL to mail you all telling you of the wonderful new opportunities the transition will bring you, please discount such an email for now. 5. Do any of you feel like writing to them? Hmm. I'll send on my mail which I'm sending to Esosoft in a little while, delete on sight seen if you don't want to read. It's another rant I'm afraid and you don't have to read it - I just want to let them know you all know.

I expect this mail may well be blocked by Esosoft at least to their own MLA list, but I'm sending it anyway, and I'll send it on to whoever else I feel might have an interest in this, including subscribers to the MLA list, and other internet communities and providers. I'm sending it to my own 1000 subscribers now too, with a covering note to explain what it's about. As a UK subscriber, I received this email message at 5am this morning; by 9pm local time, my list has been "moved", all my local software has become non-functional which relies on Majordomo software responses, and all my WWW subscribe/unsubscribe and list help documentation has been rendered useless. My list subscribers get a confusing Topica mail message which contradicts everything on the WWW sites and the whole list is in complete confusion. This is *completely unacceptable* and I demand a return of my mailing list to the state it was in yesterday, and the state in which I paid for it IMMEDIATELY, pending the further comments below. I've spent literally months of effort tailoring my WWW pages, my instructions to users, automating message handling, automating approval mechanisms, automating the nopost system to my own advantage, writing autoreply messages to users with incorrect email addresses, HTML senders etc etc., all centred around the Majordomo system, and many of which are based on Esosoft's own enhancements. I can see now what a tragic mistake that was, based on a belief in service provision that's been shown to be woefully naive. I expect a provider of services to guarantee those services for a "reasonable" period of time, encourage the goodwill of their own community of paying users, and build up a trust relationship with their own customers. Esosoft seem unconcerned with, aside from the contractual nature of their obligations to us their loyal users, the years of work WE have all put in to make our own lists work with their systems can be thrown aside, without any thought whatsoever to the repercussions to us, and to our own users. Who's going to rewrite all our WWW pages by sometime "in the next few weeks"? Who's going to rehash all the automated handling of subscription mechanisms? Who's going to tell all our users, and handle the hundreds of problems we all get in due course when they send in majordomo commands, use the wrong addresses for the list, the owners, and our own personal esosoft email addresses that are distributed in thousands of users personal addressbooks worldwide? Who's going to tell us how to "approve" messages sent to a closed list from a slightly different email address on Topica? Who's going to go into every one of our users mailboxes distributed all over the world and erase the subscription details that they've all saved over the years of list membership and will inevitably use for years to come? I think the mail they sent out is the final, laughable insult. To make out the dropping of what clearly they now see as an unprofitable business as an "advantage" to us is the final slap in the face. I mean, who do they think we are? Do they think we chose a charged-for Majordomo provider because we were *stupid*? Because we didn't *know* you could get free email lists out there, from a 101 other places? Do they think this oh-so-weak PR exercise will fool *anyone*? "Esosoft has partnered with Topica" looks from my reading to be "we've decided we aren't making enough money from you, so we're throwing you all out in the cold with a week or so's notice, and what's more we're passing or selling on your mailing lists to Topica, which we'll make out as a positive advantage to you, our customers". I bet Topica jumped at it. Oh and: who gives Esosoft the right to pass on all my treasured subscribers addresses to a "free" provider who in fact make their money FROM my users with advertising revenue? Here's what I expect from Esosoft with immediate effect: 1. A halt to this ridiculously short timescale of transition that's been sprung on us all so cruelly over the Christmas period. An "opt IN" option for Topica and a whole rethink on how to handle those of use who still want a more sophisticated Majordomo based system. 2. A cast-iron *timed* guarantee as to when the esosoft mailing list addresses will cease to work. For those who "opt out" of the Topica plan, a timescale of 6 months to allow us to transition to a reputable Majordomo supplier. 3. Another "partnership", but this time with someone of equivalent service to the service we got from them before they dumped us, so we can choose. A Majordomo mailing list supplier of roughly equivalent cost and features. 4. A refund of paid-for months on the part of all list-admins who entrusted them with good money. A transition to a "free" service is not a continuation of Esosoft service, obviously. 5. A guarantee as to how long our OWN email addresses, user at majordomo.net or whatever will work for, of at least a year. There's no mention whatsoever of this so far. 6. A large and comprehensive WWW site for our users, available for a year, which will point out the changes in great detail and identify ever minute detail they may face. This should be drawn up for both lists moved to Topica and lists moved to the new supplier in 3. I don't mean the Topica "help" section, I mean specific instructions minutely tailored to Esosoft list users. If they don't do it, we each have to. If not, a compensation plan for the hours of work WE'RE all going to have to put in to make these changes for our tens of thousands of users. Finally thanks to Allen for offering to set up a source for all of us on MLA to continue to exchange information about where on earth we can go for Majordomo services in the light of this staggering course of events. I expect pretty soon the MLA list will be shut down if it hasn't happened already, and I suggest anyone with the slightest interest in coping with this enforced crisis to get in touch with Allen. We desperately need to put our heads together to find a new provider *quickly*, and I know my search lasted weeks last time - if we act together I suspect we'll carry some weight. I await Esosoft's immediate response to points 1-6 above please. Paul -- "At Esosoft, customer satisfaction is our Top Priority! Exceeding the expectations of our customers is what makes us the best." +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Honey for fighting for our well-being. It was only platonic, so don't you smutty people think of anything else in your dirty minds. Honey, fight for our right to be smart-asses. This list has been a big thing for me for over one and a half years now, and I'd like to thank you for that. We ALL would like to thank you for that, I'm sure. Ahh, snow at last. But's it's zero degrees in here now, so it'll be slush by the end of this day. But I don't care, I'm all smiles here. Why? Well let me make up a list for you: -Two weeks and I'm in Brighton. New years eve booze frenzy, here I come. And I'm about to meet (if it all goes like I planned) Sinister people from Philly there who'll be celebrating miluerqweypafreuwguniium there. Archel wrote Liza Mille-nium and I almost choked on my coffee. Archel IS sweet, you now? =) Wehei! -My mum and dad are off to Puerto Rico on xmas eve, but I found a place to eat too much that day: My sister and her boyfriend. -I get to see my sisters kid Jasu open up the presents. The most adorable kid in the world, with the most adorable smile on his face, with the most adorable hairdo ever. -Santa Claus is going to visit my sisters, so I get to see the big beardy guy again. Last year my dad dressed up as Santa... and believe me, he looked SILLY. And he stank of fags too. But Jasu is too young to notice those things. I actully found something rotten in Denmark when I was about 7 years old and Santa sounded and looked exactly like my uncles best friend... It puzzeled me then quite a bit... -Got my paycheck on wednesday. Booze up today. Going to see The Pansies this evening for the 11th (I jsut counted) time in my life. Finnish band, sucks live but meeting a whole bunch of friends there. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MEMORIES OF A PUNK ROCKER I just visited the Alternative Tentacles homepage yesterday. For those of you who don't know, AT is a legendary recordcompany founded by Dead Kennedys frontman Jello Biafra. Oh man, that visit brought back some memories from my aggro rollerblading years, when I hang out all day with my skatebording friends. NomeansNo, Dead Kennedys... Punk is not dead, it seems, it's just lurking in the back in my head, bringing sweet memories and tears to my eyes from the days when girls where something you didn't have the chance to touch because you were too shy and love meant hanging out with your friends instead of the love I feel these days, complicated and always getting me into trouble. Got a sudden urge to listen to Dead Kennedys' "Frankenchrist"- tape, but I don't have it anymore. Darn. But "Nazi Punks Fuck Off" IS and WILL BE a great song. And "Too Drunk To Fuck". And... I could go on and on. Oh, memories: getting "Virus 100", Alternative Tentacles compilation for the first time and hearing Faith No More cover "Let's Lynch the Landlord." And, oddly enough, Napalm Death cover "Nazi Punks Fuck Off" on that same compilation. OASIS NEW SONG Bloody great. "Fucking In the Bushes" is the first song from their new album, and we in Finland were the first people in the world to hear it play on our radio. VERY Stone Roses-like... No singing, just this sample... Hard to explain. Hear it for yourselves if you can. Really different compared to the old stuff, I must say. FAREWELL TO ARMS I'm off now for a fag and my fourth cup of coffee this morning.

Just like real life, only cheaper. Tapioca.com, huh? Sounds like a bunch of asswipes! Yesterday I had a look at the photos again. You look like a nice bunch, as my mother is fond of saying when looking at photos of my chums. I'm not sure what she really means. There was David "I Can't Take Any" Moore dressed in something that makes him look a little like a military man, there was Miss Vicky, apparently unruffled by the huge hairy caterpillar crawling up the side of Mark's face. Nick Dastoor has fallen asleep to the gentle sounds of the Beach Boys' "Friends" album, a personal favourite. He will shortly be rudley awakened by frenzied "it's cool!" interjections during "Transcendental Meditation" and shuffle grumpily through the kitchen door to make a cup of tea. Brandt's hamster has also died, but unlike other listees, he has decided to sellotape the unfortunate creature to his chin. Trousers has binned a tree, in a vain attempt to attract the attention of the young lady in the background. On Monday I'm going to be an interpreter. What's the name of that bloke who talks funny, was on a Small Faces record? I'm going to do it like that. Speaking of jobs, me and the missus want jobs in the British Isles area, so I've decided to leave it up to you lot. Bear in mind that I've seen "Rosetta" and I will probably find a way to nick YOUR job, unless you can wangle me one. I mean two. It doesn't matter if it's shovelling shit, as long as it pays enough to live like Steptoe on acid. It's all wheels within wheels.

I'm about to poke my nose where it doesn't belong, but when you are a troll with a big nose, it is expected of you. As you have already read, the list is experiencing some technical difficulty. I have full confidence in our mummy that all the issues will be resolved in due time. That is not to say that it will be without some burps and farts. I read somewhere that this list is filled with students and geeks....I guess I fall under the latter. Not the ladder mind you. So I am quite used to life in the techno-glitch world of weblife as I have no other. Here is my suggestion.... We all know that you get what you pay for .....a free host is just that.....free and unstable. This is why we are experiencing problems with the list. Now it would appear that the best way to ensure that the list continues without difficulties is to do it right. This means an outlay of cash-a-moola. Now I would never expect our dearest mummy to ever mention this allowed, but I am sure that if listees were to ...um....let's say.....send mummy a Christmas card and let's say......include a little token our our appreciation in the form of colourful pictures our our reigning monarch or some long deceased public administrator, the appreciation would be overwhelming. Think of it as sort of buying our mummy a pint to say "Good Cheer." What say you all?

I reckon it's Must be a reason why I'm freeing my trapped soul rather than "freeing my trestle", but who can tell in the crazy mixed-up world of europop. We had our Christmas "do" the other night, which was much humourous. I was the youngest of our group by quite a bit (which makes a change (see numerous posts of mine with me moaning on about being an old bastard)). There was food, there was wine, there was gossip about affairs, there was a lot of MIDDLE AGED PEOPLE DANCING BADLY to rather horrid music (he did play "tainted love/where did our love go" by soft cell, full 12" version, which redeemed it a bit). It was just like sinister picnic really ;) Only kidding (the middle aged people at picnics can dance really well). Ooh yes, that new Mint Royale single with lovely lovely Lauren Laverne on is fantastic and i suggest you all listen to it lots, certainly better than any of the Rosita stuff i've heard.

Hamster Death. They could come on stage with various assorted stuffed hamsters and pints and pints of fake blood. No? Oh well, it was only a suggestion. My own tragic hamster story (pete cranks up the music from "Our Tune" in the background) happened when I was about six, and my sister four. We used to take our hamster out of it's cage every so often, and let it run freely through tunnels that we'd lovingly crafted out of upside-down books. At one end of the tunnels would be some food, and it nearly always chose the correct route to get straight to it. (Dramatic pause whilst "Our Tune" music comes to the beginning of the next bar). One afternoon, I gently lowered the hamster into the start of our little maze, and sat there with my sister waiting impatiently for it to appear at the other end, where the food was. After about a half hour of waiting, I began to realise that something had gone drastically wrong. I started to lift the books up, one by one. There, under a particularly gaudy chapter of the "Children's Encyclopedia Brittanica" (G-I - I remember it even now) was our beloved Cyril, who instead of popping it's head out the other end of the tunnels, had decided to pop his clogs instead. After a short while spent poking it to try to get it to move, my natural human reactions took over, and I ran away shouting "Urrrrgh." Anyhow, on to matters of far greater importance, which is where I try to do an Alasdair Cook impression, only with far less style and wit: Ellen said: > ..frosty wind made moan.. and right she bloody was about it too. Mostly it comes from pensioners. The moaning, that is, not the wind. You wouldn't believe the amount of whinging than my gran does at even the hint of a cool breeze. As for frosty winds, well, she never shuts up. followed by P F: > Me, I'm occasionally provoked by the *revenant* of Arthur Albiston. Despite > being well past his best by 1988, he was still appearing in full-page colour > 'posters' in *Match* magazine. He also adorns the mid-80s edition (was there > ever another?) of Jack Rollin's Soccer: The Records. and he was, as I remember, the only bugger I could never get in my otherwise complete book of panini football stickers from nineteen eighty something. Not even when I offered my mate three and a half hundred Kenny Dalglishes in return. Shows you the warped values that some people hold in life. Now there's an idea - panini B&S stickers. You get a great big board to put on your wall for which you can then buy stickers of the band members of your choice. Hardest to get, and most treasured, would of course be the Sinister club badge, done in red on a silver background. Just think - you'd be the envy of all your friends. But there again, if they just let you fritter away your lifetime earnings on sticky pieces of plastic they're probably not very good friends anyway. And on to Brandt: > 2. Unfortunately Kate Bush's voice is not what angels hear when god > speaks to them. that would be Rose Melberg's voice. Not too sure about that Rose character, as I have absolutely no idea who she is, but you were pretty spot on about the first bit. If I was an angel (and to be quite honest, the *only* people ever to have thought of me as such were my sadly misled parents) I'd go running straight to Old Nick himself if Kate Bush so much as threatened to open her cakehole. Deary me. Just to keep the flow going, Jan said: > who knows, maybe they're even spying on us.. komm raus, christian > kracht, oder ich barre dir ein stück rad, dass es goetzt! which was all rather sadly lost on me, I'm afraid. The only bit of German I can remember from four annoying years trying my best to learn the bloody stuff is "Hauptbahnhofschnitzel". Which means "Mainline railway station lightly covered in breadcrumbs and fried for half an hour". My heart raced when kitten mouse said: > i like macintoshes and then sank again when she swiftly followed it with: > (the computer) God. Has everyone these days lost their appreciation of a good quality raincoat?? Such a shame... Zoe pondered upon > the soundtrack of my life Which got me thinking. Laterally, of course. Does anyone else have mornings when you get up and you think about a song so much that it's like having the band playing inside your head?? It can sometimes be quite nice, but unfortunately when I arose this morning My Bloody Valentine had taken up residence. Ordinarily I wouldn't mind this, but at the time I was extremely hung over. And they were making one hell of a racket. Well, I'll leave out all the other tedious rubbish I was going to include (because I've gone on long enough already), and stop to say thankyou to our incredibly lovely list mummy. Honey, we love you. I'll leave you all with a heartwarming, festive letter of thanks sent by a participant in a charity-sponsored lunch for the elderly: Dear Safety Harbor Middle School: God blesses you for the beautiful radio I won at your recent senior citizen's luncheon. I am 84 years old and live at the Safety Harbor Assisted Home for the Aged. All of my family has passed away. It's nice to know that someone really thinks of me. God blesses you for your kindness to a forgotten old woman. My roommate is 95 and always had her own radio, but would never let me listen to it, even when she was napping. The other day her radio fell off the nightstand and broke into a lot of pieces. It was awful and she was in tears. She asked if she could listen to mine, and I said "fuck you". Sincerely, Edna Johnston Says it all, really, dunnit? Have a great Christmas and a truly pissed-up Bennyhillium, lol p xx. -- -----------------------------*||*-------------------------------- Ode from London, SE8 "In the midst of life, we are in Deptford." - Martin Newell, Poet.

The Esosoft machine continues and I'm not getting any reply to my emails. There's now a hundred or so "Esoshaft" list managers gathered on a hilltop in a secret location and amassing weapons and chewing tobacco and calling lawyers. I've got one foot on the artillery box and I'm checking my revolutionary lipstick is on straight in a fragment of mirror stolen from the palaces of the rich. Picture in the photo gallery soon. The line currently is that all the lists will be "transferred" to Topica in the next week (do they know it's Christmas time at all, la-di-da), and I've sent a "cancellation" of the auto-transfer so goodness knows what happens when the lights go out. I've also mailed a lot of other providers and am waiting for replies, and followed up some other leads from you lovely juicy people, so take this mail as a thank you for now, ok? Quite a few of you have sent *steaming* letters on to Esosoft too! My goodness, aren't you supposed to be twee?? From now on can I suggest you send them to ceo at esosoft.com, rather than the support people, who are probably deleting them at a rate of knots - at least I just mailed that address and it didn't bounce. I'll send on the others I've seen so far. Oh and please, don't anyone even think of bombing them with multiple mails, I know it might be tempting but we play fair. The very fragrant Alexander said this: > We all know that you get what you pay for .....a free host is just > that.....free and unstable. This is why we are experiencing problems > with the list. Just to make it clear, the list's still running (so far) but I still can't do any admin for any of you. The future *threat* is of a free service - the problems we're experiencing now are because of a naive, insulting and staggering display of unprofessionalism by a *commercial* company, Esosoft. He also said suggested you send me pieces of paper with monarchs on - don't ok! I'd die of guilt, it's peanuts, don't even dream of it. If you must, and you have one you want to throw out, send me a cuddly toy or a Barbie. Honestly. Finally, because I'm being an agitant I suppose it's *just* possible Esosoft might cut the service completely. Highly unlikely, but if you find the mailing list AND the WWW site disappears, I'll meet you at http://messages.to/sinister Paranoid moi?

Message-ID: <19991220083656.4839.qmail@web1304.mail.yahoo.com> Hi Just thought I'd relate a fairly recent scary drunk story 'cause I think talking about it will help!! After a particularly drunken night out in cosmo hip Preston, my friend and I were ejected from a local kebab establishment after playing "who can fit the most kebab down the other persons back". Anyway, I staggered onward and homeward (to my girlfriends house who was away at the National New Designers Exhibition, she's very talented). I digress, I stumbled on I tried to hail a taxi. As one flew past I cursed and as I did a nice new looking and posh car pulled up. Now, details are still a little fuzzy but I think my drunken cognition supposed this was another taxi who had noticed my pathetic attempts at stopping the previous vehicle and had taken pity. The car stopped and very pleasant man said "Do you want a lift?". Still confused as to whether it was a taxi or just a good samaritan, I fell in to the car. Things were going fine, the guy starts talking away: Guy: Where've you been Leaky(me): (Very drunk) Roper Hall....hic Guy: blah blah blah Leaky: Really, blah, blah, hic Guy: Yes, blah, blah, blah, that's right Leaky: Well I never Guy: So, how big's your cock?!!!! That's right, he cunningly crowbarred the last question into the conversation as if he were asking about the weather. I asked him to let me out! Phew, he could have been the new Dennis Neilsen in training. It sounds silly but I felt really angry and used but anyway, I'm over it now. Incidentally, the mobile melody (thanks honey) is "The State I am in", which is nice 'cause it's the tune my girlfriend played over and over the night I met her. Bye for now, have a top-tastic Christmas and New Year and I'll speak to you later. Bless Leaky ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Message-ID: <385C0331@www.twigger.co.uk> Nice to see this is all still working..... I think Honey will have to build lots of new shelving and instigate a complicated barcode inventory system just to keep track of all the props he'll deserve if he manages to sort out this nasty majordomo business. Good luck xx. My concerns over the Christmas number one have been justified (in the UK at least). While I'm quite glad that it isn't Cliff or that dodgy hamster (which would have reminded many a tearful Sinistereen of their departed furry pals at this the most festive time of the year), I'm even more disturbed that a cheerful and emotionless version on "Seasons in the Sun" was even made let alone allowed to get to the number 1 spot. In the Prophetic words of W. Axel Rose "where do we go now-w-w-wwwo-wwowww ?" The Honeyz joyfully rapping "Ode to the fallen" over a hiphop version of the "Last Post" perhaps ?*. Like every sane person I demand an end to this madness & desperately hope that the world will come to it's senses with the release of the forthcoming B&S longplayer. Oh I've just had a scary thought. Moaning about music charts was something my parents used to do when I was much younger and quite the Nik Kershaw fan. It's true we do become them in the end... maybe Logans Run had a point after all. I watched Dune over the weekend. I saw it years ago when it first came out and to be honest didn't understand it one bit, but it's aged well and now isn't half as baffling. But the people who thought it would be bigger than StarWars must be feeling quite daft. I think I'm still a good 10-20 years away from comprehending 2001 though. Global warming - yes please !. Craig xx * I've had a complete change of heart and would actually pay to see this happen. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Message-ID: <19991220074832.61608.qmail@hotmail.com> Me and my sinister friend from the list, Maria, have a BIG problem about our trip to Brighton. The deal is this: We were supposed to sleep at Marias friends place during our stay there, but she FORGOT we are coming to Brighton. She is spending her xmas here in Finland and won't be back to Brighton until the 29th, So now we need a place to stay for at least one night, the 28th of December. So what we need is this: a) A list of places where we could spend our night. I know, this shouldn't be a problem, but remember it's before the big frenzy on new yers eve, so all the places will probably be booked up beforehand. But if you know any good bed-an-breakfest/hotel/motel/something places we could spend our night, PLEASE let me know. Otherwise we're screwed. b) If there is a noble and understading person who would be so kind that she/he could let us stay at his/her place for that night on the 28th, we'd love it. I know, this is a strange question to ask but hey, we're all friends here, aren't we? Our plane will be at Heathrow airport at approx. 5.00 pm on the 28th. Those are the facts. once again, if you know any places and adresses we could stay, please e-mail me AS SOON AS YOU CAN.

Noh) Date: Sun, 19 Dec 1999 20:08:38 -0500 (EST) Subject: Sinister: socialism in theory and practice Message-ID: Cher Sinistre, I wish everyone would post again. The holidays probably have something to do with it, but it's no good to do nothing in a state of siege. Me in this big house watching time pass (if I had fleece I would wear it) and you locked in your room making ribbons fly ("experimental syntax" borrowed from Michael Jones, not experimental so much as revival but I don't know the source). That must be why they had such detailed descriptions of the toilet in _All Quiet on the Western Front_. Yesterday or today or at some point I read that start up web sites are incurring huge losses to establish themselves as brand names. SO this means that we should take advantage of it while it lasts, but as armchair socialist revolutionaries immediately switch after the special offers pass. (Come on, it's the dialectic!) I'm listening to one of my purchases now: Gram Parsons/Greivous Angel. It's only my second listen but I definitely like it better than I did the first time when I was still a victim of the anti-country music stance that is the mainstream position in the US today, in a Marxist view the pathetic attempt of the bourgeoisie to distance itself from the proletariat, which makes no sense really as the teeming middle classes are the majority here. Hence a nation chokes on a so-called alternastance. I have to say I like the folk side of country, what little I've heard of Fairport Convention, Bob Dylan, Kate & Anna McGarrigle, the Byrds, etc. This year I watched Charlie Brown's Christmas Special, Olive the Other Reindeer, and I'm waiting for the Simpsons to come on. Tomorrow is Monday, the day to get started. I just realized the kind of person Linus is supposed to be, brainy but childlike in the way only brainy people have about them. The other day I was still asleep at noon, periodically being awakened by messages being left at ten minute intervals on the answering machine by my mother, when I decided I'd finally had it and leapt out of bed except there isn't a phone in my room so I ran and answered the phone in a really snappish but also groggy tone of voice. But of course it wasn't her but him, and I just thought his voice makes him seem like Linus (well it just occurred to me now). Disembodied voices are very suggestive. Asking for my housemate. The problem with The Boy With the Arab Strap is that it sounds too much like the Gentle Waves. I can say that with perfect confidence without having heard the Gentle Waves. But Isobel sure is lovely and she has a beautiful smile (captured by Lesley Jo Miller who definitely has the best photos of the band, aside from Sarah's photo of Stuart and Mick, Stuart grinning like mad) and she has style, in terms of appearance. I'm all in favor of band dictatorships.

So much talk of snow, and yet up until yesterday we had none. This is quite annoying considering how much taxes we pay and a common misconception is that we have snow year round in Canada. But yesterday we were blessed with a bit of a squall which filled the air with beautiful ice crystals floating on the breeze and gave the impression that winter had indeed arrived. It also triggered a migraine in me when the atmospheric pressure changed, but that has departed with much of the of the frozen bounty from the sky. This morning we awoke to discovere that during the night a light dusting had stayed put giving the semblance that a giant had eaten a sugar doughnut and the icing sugar had fallen onto his lap and the floor much like what happens to me whenever I eat one at work. Yet, now that over-powered glowing orb which is many lumens too bright has risen from the horizon and I fear that the joke will be on us as we watch the diamond dust disappear into tiny puddles. Alas, I should not complain as I left my boots at work on Friday. Sorry, no dead pet stories. In exchange, I will confess that I get all teary when I watch the animated classic, The Little Drummer Boy, and I see the part where the little lamb is brought back to life. I hope this suffices. Buses.....gotta love them. I won't go so far as to say that it is a B&S thing for me, instead it stems from getting all stressed out in private motor vehicles and the inattentive drivers that seem to manage somehow to pass a multiple guess examination. My love of bus travel was solidified three years ago when I was treated to a completely voyeuristic experience. A very lovely young lady sat beside me and treated me to a visual display of relieving whatever physical tension she possessed, completely aware of my knowledge of her activities. (How could I not be aware when she bit into my shoulder at the conlcusion) A completely non-participative and annonymous experience which I will get to boast about forever. Previously I mentioned my amourous intentions towards the very lovely and talented Sarah Martin. Here I will treat you to a photographic display of our assumed mutual affection. http://www3.sympatico.ca/alexander.borgia/me_n_sarah.jpg Can you not see in her eyes her enthusiasm? How I have captivated her heart and her attention? O! Love is bliss. For those who may be travelling for the seasonal festivities, I wish you Godspeed and a safe journey, and to all others I wish you a very Merry Christmas.

On this frosty morning I can take a second to try and guess which piece of crap will be No 1 this Christmas. Who gives a damn. I hope it's Cliff. Can you honestly find hamsters waving their arms in the air funny? I wish I could remember the URL - I found this site with animated gifs of cartoon hamsters getting killed in all sorts of amusing fashions. Our house is a nightmare for hamsters. The number of small rodents we've killed is phenomenal. I remember at least one hamster died when one of my sister's friends knocked it's cage onto the floor. We've got through at least four guinea pigs all dying in various ways. Two rabbits have run away - the first rabbit was white and when a magician came into school with a rabbit I was convinced he'd stolen our rabbit. Then one rabbit died just last month from that myxamatosis or whatever it's called. Then our cat died at 20ish of old age. We got two lovely kittens to replace it though, so I thought it was alright. I spent yesterday in Dorking with David Strange. We talked about snow among things so I thought it was ironic when I got off the bus and it was snowing. He told me he had played "Fox in the snow" to try and make it snow. We thought it hadn't worked, but it did in the end ;) Lets all play it lots to try and make more snow. Yes, in true authentic B&S style I took a bus. It was an empty bus, just a few grannies on it. There's always grannies on the buses. Grannies and me. My legs don't fit in the bus seats though, that really irritates me. A shameless lack of B&S content I know, that's why I'd better stop now. No, I was going to say something about them. I can't remember. As soon as I've posted this I'll remember I'm sure. Now everybody repeat after me *the list is not going to die* no pessimistic thinking please. fine £10 and yes i do know i mentioned my legs in this post -- James Thorniley "Punk rock is a virtue" +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

I was told boys are pragmatic and technical while girls are intuitive and spiritual. Wrong. Iam a boy yet I do not understand about Esosoft and Tapioca. If I did, why I'd sort them right out and no mistake. So if I'm not a boy or a girl am I .(Yiddish joke ahoy)....a goy? Trousers almost gave me a postmodernistdeconstructionist heart attack with his Deleuze and Guattari fandango. It's the holiday, I thought I'd seen the last of them for 4 weeks. I know people at college who'd like to get them sainted (if that weren't such "a patriarchal, oppressive" thing to do). I merely wrinkle my brow and say "Hmmmm" in a dubious manner. How enigmatic I must appear, to be sure. Mr Mitchell, I haven't seen Rosetta but I have seen Rosita a few times. Which brings me onto Mint Royale and Lauren Laverne. It's a shame they only got to do half of their song on "The Priory" but at least Zoe'n'Jamie were able to fit in Guess Who's Under the Sheet and the inimitable Funny We Heard Words on The Telly beforehand. If you wrote half a song would they only let you do a quarter of it? Sinister bodyparts? I'm shocked. My favourite is legs btw. While poll rigging is our forte can I suggest that British listees bombard C4's Planet Sound's "What do YOU want?" with the call to get that nice Mr Eastwood back on their staff? I mean it's gone right downhill since the spring or whenever it was. It's good to have Ailsa back. More Sinister OAPS please. We must all join together and strive to survive and stay alive. And I thought the Esosoft sign meant happy motoring.................

So first off let me say cheers to our sweet mummy for defending our list from Esosoft and Topica. On the eve of our dissolution we salute you mummy! Ahhh, strange days indeed. I have just this week joined the ranks of the graduated. The only thing I await is the real diploma in the mail to put the final touch on the end of my undergraduate life. So now armed with my BA in English I am well prepared for a life of washing dishes and scrubbing toliets. Nah...grad school looms on the horizon though I find myself wondering if being an english prof or editor is what I want. Hmmm, I must be getting old, I have this strange feeling I have to do something with my life, either help people or animals in some way. I may end up falling back and getting my vet tech certificate. Only time will tell since I don't go into grad school til the fall. Onto B&S related material! While in East Lansing and Ann Arbor this weekend I picked up Tigermilk on vinyl and almost picked up Looper's Up A Tree on vinyl. I also snatched up Dog on Wheels and was pleased very much with my finds. Cheers to Brandt for letting me know about the Ann Arbor connection! I also managed to get two of my friends hooked on Looper as I played them on the ride up to Lansing. I was quite suprised since I didn't think they'd enjoy the spoken word style, yet they loved Impossible Things #2 and asked me to do a mix tape up with a little Looper and B&S. The revolution continues... Schools out but I keep having these flashbacks when i start to relax a bit. I go to grab my backpack to look up whatever work I might have only to remember I've finished with the semster. A bit hard to believe it's over. The best thing about this is that my graduation present to myself is a vacation in Hawaii. Ten days spent ringing in the new year on the white sand beaches..ahh, yes. I'm almost missing the snow even though I dislike the cold. Still, I really do enjoy winter. Winter means another year. Winter means moving forward. Winter means something better on the horizon. The new year to me always means a new chance, even if the whole thing is just rather arbitrary and not a true reflection of any massive change but a human system of telling times, bugger it! Damn the topedoes and charge forward! I have also found myself using english slang as of late. Too much watching imported BBC programs and movies and reading books by english authors. I caught myself saying shite yesterday out of the blue. Arse has already found its way into my vocabulary and bugger is flirting around the edges of my conciousness. Should I be worried? A squirrel stared at me thursday as I took my english final. Silly little thing just sat on a tree limb outside the window and stared for a full twenty minutes. I half expected it to hold up a sign; "We have Isobel...demands to follow". Doubtful I know, but disconcerting indeed. So I've 'discovered' the joy that is Looper and also really starting to dig Magnetic Fields and Felt. I'm thinking I might try Hefner out next, any suggestions? Oh, and I would be remiss if I didn't say I'd just tuned into Black Box Recorder and have really started to dig them. On the Magnetic Fields front I picked up the 3-cd set of 69 Love Songs last weekend after hearing All my Little Words on a mix tape from a friend. Solid stuff and I enjoyed it quite a bit, though I'm not sure if *all* 69 songs were needed, but I respect what was attempted. Any other Magnetic Fields albums I should look for? Anyways, heads to the storm all you beautiful sinister people! Be Sinister all you wonderful twee people!

No digests for four days. Either a) the list is deceased, b) no-one's mailing, c) I've signed off and forgotten about it, or d) I've been taken off it for crimes against music. I've changed my plea to innocent, especially now the Foxgloves won't be burning up the night air till 2000. But if anybody's out there, let me register a good Christmas spirit round here. Maybe it's (as someone once said) the colour of the sky; maybe it's the prospect of setting a record and being out of all competitions by Christmas Eve; maybe it's too many doughnuts. Probably it's the fact that I've heard workmen, road diggin' men, singing 'Winter Wonderland'. (How refreshing. How..) But I do want to wish everyone a merry christmas, or what you will. The turkey's getting hard to eat. The snow's picking up. They're selling postcards of Alan Harper. I think I'd better make a move. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Sadly I couldn't go, due to a prior engagement with diminutive Brazilian Nick Dastoor look-a-like Isabel Monteiro & her band. It certainly adds to the drama & enjoyment of a gig when you know that the lead singer has slept with everyone else on stage. How unlike the home life of our own dear Struan. You just have to write nowadays, don't you? I mean, what with trying to win the lottery for the prize for having played the Last Post on (or should that be over) Sinister. I'd just like to thank Honey, & everyone else that knows me, & hope that he (ListMummy Jocasta) had time amongst all his battling to spot the one about the furry banjo strumming on the bus, because I know it was right up his street. Oh, and I'd also like to point out that I was best mates with Dougal & The Blue Cat before anyone else was, even that upstart Miller.

Like a real family. And, while every one of us would probably do anything to help our family in our time of need, I hope we all stop to think about what we're doing before sending any messages to our over-worked, stressed-out Mummy. I, for one, would never presume to know more than our beloved Honey when it comes to computers/internet technology, as I've just barely dipped my big toe into the cyberworld, and Honey is into it up to his pert little nipples. It may be tempting to send him some personal notes of love and support, but we should stop to think what it would be like to switch on our computers and find 1,156 messages waiting for attention.* This little Sinister family needs our Mummy to survive. And we need him (relatively) sane. While I'm sure he'd look quite lovely in one of those stylish white jackets with the wrap-around arms, I'm afraid it might make it a bit difficult for him to use his keyboard. Let's all pray/think positive thoughts/send good vibes his way, but let's be considerate. Let's just play together nicely in our Sinister room, and give Mummy the time and space to work out our family problems. I'm sure he'll peek in on us every now and then, to make sure we're not marking on the walls with crayons, and to update us on list progress. Sorry if I'm speaking out of turn. It's just a thought. Merry Christmas (or belated 'Happy Hanukkah') to everyone!! Wishing you all peace, love and happiness in the new year.....

Message-ID: <385EA5FB.CA1F78A5@sympatico.ca> Attention all sini-cops: We have been able to rule out Winnie the Pooh as a suspect in this case. His alibi is air tight, although we still think he is a shifty devil who is up to no good. I should probably apologize for my haste in sending out my rant this morning, I may not have made myself overly clear. The e-mail in question was indeed sent to honey at missprint.org. Judging by the return message, I believe Mummy's mail is auto forwarded through Esosoft. I guess until we hear back from Mummy, we should refrain from sending him any e-mail. I do know that he has inquired of quite a few places where he may be able to move the list and he may be awaiting e-mail replies from them. So if anyone has an alternate way of contacting our dearest Mummy, please do and inform him that his mail is possibly being returned to the sender. This next bit is a reply to Mr. Leak's post of this morning, however, please don't take it personally, I am offering an observation that was presented to me. "That's right, he cunningly crowbarred the last question into the conversation as if he were asking about the weather. I asked him to let me out! Phew, he could have been the new Dennis Neilsen in training. It sounds silly but I felt really angry and used but anyway, I'm over it now." Please consider this event as a rite of passage. I am sure that anyone who has used his thumb as a ticket for a ride has at some point encountered this situation. Others have encountered it under different circumstances. I am sure you were offended, but what you have learned is how girls feel when they are accosted by a guy whom they find repulsive. Particularly, when they are somewhat vulnerable from the effects of alcohol or other party substances. Let this be a lesson to all in their interactions with members of the general populace. While you may not find your actions repulsive and uncomfortable, perhaps the recipient of your advances does. As for a member of the same sex expressing their desires towards you, accept them as a compliment. Hold your head high and think about how damned cute you must be for their to approach you. Loneliness is something that all people feel at some point or another. Please be gentle when declining the amorous attentions of other individuals if their intentions are honourable. We all get dumped and turned down some time or another. Remember how it feels. I promise not to post so seriously in the future, I will return to my usual mode of not making sense after this brief public announcement. Alexander (who is still feeling pretty special after the gay guys were fawning all over me when I was buying teddy bears on Saturday, and despite their attempts to interest me in the leather clad butch bears, they never stood a chance, but I was never offended or rude by their actions, just convinced that I was having a really cute day) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

It's ok it's ok mummy's here and listening. Unless Esosoft have an international wing, my disappearance of the weekend was no more sinister (hoho) than a workman putting a hole in a wire somewhere between Leeds and Edinburgh at the weekend. All my mail queued up and I've got it now, I'm just very busy trying to find a new stable home. Plus I got quite ill again last night just in time for Christmas so I'm in bed :( I'd still appreciate teddy bears and barbies, like little orphans get. Also does anyone here run another mailing list and might like to re-home it somewhere safe and stable with me and pay a small fee to help costs? It'd help me to choose my options quickly. Esosoft have deigned to give us back control of our own list for a few days until it disappears - I hope to have something sorted by then but there might be a gap for a few days, possibly over Christmas. I promise faithfully if that happens Sinister will be back, just remember this URL for now: http://www.missprint.org/sinister This is where the Sinister site has been copied to now and where hopefully its new home will be anyway. In the event of natural catastrophe, make a note of: http://messages.to/sinister too which I'll repoint to wherever Sinister's home is, and no-one should get lost.

Message-ID: <385F1B48.D5EF663F@bellsouth.net> 8/12/99 I closed the bookshop at eleven tonight, but I wasn't out of there until about 11:30 or so. David pulled alongside of me in a borrowed car and without argument I opened the door and got in. Ten minutes later we found ourselves sitting at the bar in John Martin's looking into our Guinness and wondering if all there was to our nights after work was Guinness. I guess I shouldn't complain at least the bars here stay open late. We got into the car after two pints and from my jacket pocket I produced a cassette of TBWTAS. "She had a stroke at the age of..." I was singing along, watching the passing cars and the dimly lit shop windows along Ponce de Leon Ave. when Dave says, "Uh, J.C. I don't know if I'm in the mood for this..." I forced him to listen to the rest of the song, but alas, he forced it out of the tape deck. Since Dave is usually keen on B&S, I have to wonder if he's feeling all right tonight. A few taco's later, another conversation about the girls that we never come across and everything is fine again. I'll probably be awake all night again, so I'll stay awake with sinister. 10/12/99 Late August. My last night in London. Salako at the Borderline. Canceled. A couple of nights before that, I went to see Marine Research, (incidentally, on Martin Robinson's recommendation), and got there in time to watch the band unplug their instruments. Today, I finally found the domestic release of "Musicality." I can't really afford it, but I bought it anyway. (after four months or so of regretting the fact that I left for home without it, I just couldn't say no) Supposed to go out with some co-workers tonight. I think I'd rather stay home and listen to the record. But alas, to flip them off so casually would be to sully inter-bookseller relations. Fuck it. I'm staying home. 12/12 Last night at the Absinthe House Cinema, just a few blocks down from the bookshop, they was a Smiths tribute show. Ten or so local S. Florida bands showing off their capacity for sensitivity and morrisey imitations. all around not a bad night. Most intense band was Ed Matus' Struggle, most out of place band was The Goods. It had been a long day and I started nodding off during the last two acts. Drove home, alone. Went to bed, alone. Even so, I couldn't fall asleep right off, so I listened to "Dog on Wheels." Then, I had the most remarkable dreams... Lately, they seem to pick up where reality stops. An event sometime in the day that perhaps didn't conclude the way I would have liked it to, turns into fantasy central at night. For example, on Friday afternoon, I only eyed that jet glow rickenbacker at the guitar shop. On Friday late at night, deep in sleep, I was plugging the guitar into my amp in my apt. playing "lazy line painter jane," or something around those lines. I could go into the sex dreams, but alas, I'm gonna be in the nursery another week and don't want to offer too much. (although, i fear i may already have.) 13/12/99 Lucy Alder's post today made my night. After a rocky Sunday and a long ass day at work today, the sure fire rapid action motion of her "digits" made my day. Last night I helped my parents put up their x-mas tree and I did so to TBWTAS. My dad seems to like B&S a lot better than Mark Eitzel. Since I have a fondness for the both of them and can compromise when given a choice between two greats, the entire family went with B&S. They didn't even notice some of the lyrics, but I guess that in such a way any sort of discussion about the music was avoided. To my dad, if it doesn't have congas, it just ain't right. Hasta manana, amigos. 12/14/99 Shouldn't have driven home. Had a chance encounter with my-older-ex-girlfriend. I'm wondering if anything matters other than soul music. Because, "La la la la la la la la la, means I love you." Don't really feel like doing anything these days. College is a distant memory and it's going to be harder to go back and finish than it was to start it... duh.... 12/17 taking a short break from cleaning my apartment. i'm feeling a little uncertain about what's going on with the list right now. i wonder if i'll ever get out of the nursery. that's a selfish thought, though. these ten days or so have been loads of fun... coming home late at night, reading the posts, feeling like i'm getting to know everyone a bit. still, i feel like a voyeur. none of you know i'm here. nice to have the nursery, but i feel left out. i don't know what it's like in other parts of the world, but the holiday season at the bookstore is murder. it basically kills every felling of good tidings and cheer that one may have possessed in their youth. the only thing that gets me by is to sing to myself the first ten words of "TBWTAS." when things get really bad, i just say "boo to the business world." 12/20 this is already a long post, so i won't add to it. let's just say that i'm finally out of the nursery and for once in my life, i've got nothing to say. cheers, j.c. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

So my question is, would it be silly putting Dundee as my sec. choice instead of Edinburgh (Machintosh schol=first choice) ? Anyone here going to the art schools in Glasgow, Edinburgh or Dundee -who could give me some words of experience? My mother want�s a painting of Isobel for christmas..he he, it`s true. ok..it`s not like it may sound like,..the painting is something I made last year, my mother is not a belle fan, but she still really likes the "expression in that womans face"...(Paul F. you know which one i`m talking about)..I still think it`s a funny thought. Not every house has Isobel on their livingroom wall. (well,we won`t either, cause I`m gonna give my mother the other p. she wished for. but it would be funny if we did.) ..anyway..it`s my birthday today, just thought I`d let you all know.. (all the other things just an excuse to mail the list to tell you this..he he..) take care, -Marianne ps I`m crossing my fingers for the list, also want to give my thanks and kisses to honey for being there doing his stuff for us.

Message-ID: <19991221135950.28494.qmail@web303.mail.yahoo.com> Or at least I hope it will be. Feels like it's going to be around forever right now. Hello! This is my first post and it's a bit ironic that I've gained my Sinister voice at the same time as I'm losing my real one *cough*. Here's hoping that we don't lose Sinister as well (and at this point I'll add my thank you to all the others for the work Mummy Honey's put in for us over the past few days). I've loved B&S since hearing them gently strum from my radio late at night during my drunken student days. Sadly, I've yet to see them live. The most B&S related thing I ever managed was to find myself at a Tigermilk relaunch night at Glasgow Art School last summer (July I think). I tagged along with a struggling band who hoped to be able to shove a demo into Stevie Jackson's waiting hands. Sadly, none of the band were present and to cap it all we won nothing in the raffle. That's all for now. I'll be back when something interesting happens to me. Or when somebody writes something suitably provocative. By the way, I'm Rob, I'm 24 and I'm trying to bring about the collapse of capitalism by working for a large multi-national company. Very Badly.

Message-ID: <19991221173417.21497.qmail@web114.yahoomail.com> Are we still here ? Good, then let's do it... David Moore, Moore, Moore said, said, said: >Why no reports of last Friday's PoCaff shindig yet? Who won newly-turned >thirty-something Stevie Trousers' UniversiTwee Challenge? Take a bleedin' guess, mate. It was a fiasco wrapped up in a shambles inside a debacle. Here's the scenario - each team (except ONE) is issued with some kind of noise-making device for the purpose of shaking Trousse from his Paxmanic stupor and securing the right to answer just-issued question. Velocity Hopkins is placed *inches* away from the increasingly-haggard Pantaloonial face, with a sonic *cock* in his *mouth*. It's over before it starts. We may as well go home now, Clive. The Berry-Brooker-Williams-Gennet musical revue downstairs saves the evening with a jinglin' janglin' joyola. Old Harv even did the one about Noel Edmonds, disregarding all legal advice. May I be vexingly self-referential for a millisecond ? Thank you. Something scrawled in silver ink in the top right-hand corner of the fifth page of a loose-leaf pad left in the back of a cab in Naples informs me that this post brings up my Sinister Half-Century. 23 months at the crease: no Beefy slugfest this, more a solid, considered knock worthy, perhaps, of Chris 'Time Has Stopped' Tavare. Tedious, often dull, with few risks taken and scant regard given to the needs of the team. You'll all thank me for it when bad light stops play and we discover we've escaped with a credible draw. Thing is, I ain't going into no pavilion just yet, er, *mofo*. There's still grinding to be done. Wage a war of attrition against our corporate foe. I'm thinking Cliff Thorburn. I'm thinking Nigel Mansell. Drain the colour from their faces and sending them back from whence they came, to their flat-faced children and their birdseye-maple TV cabinets. And then set the wolves on them. Drop calling cards into the slots in their skulls: "I fucked with Sinister, so Sinister fucked with me". Ooh, I've gone all queer. Au revoir...

Message-ID: Liked the note from Jeanette saying that Sinister is a family, stumbling from one disaster to the next, and we rally round to help each other in times of need. In that case I'd be grateful if I could abuse the list for a second or two with my own personal tale of woe and a cry for help....... It's like this see.......my flat"mate" has just informed me that he plans to move out my house in the next two weeks. I have the mortgage and he gives me half every month as rent money. (He has just decided that all he has to give is a few seconds notice and that's him off!) This means that in the short term my Christmas is totally f***ed because all the money I had saved up for some festive drink/drug binges and extravagant gifts for those closest, now has to be used to pay the mortgage for January. So instead of partying like a madman into the new millennium, I will be at my parents' house watching shite like "Celine Dion at Glyndebourne opera house," and "Mission Impossible." (Also, because I'm at my parents' I won't be able to listen to any even slightly loud tunes because my Dad greets any song released after 1963 with the cry, "TURN THAT OASIS PISH AFF.") (Apart from "The Quo," obviously(?)) Anyway, I digress................ As for the next few months, my mortgage has now effectively doubled, which means that I need a new flat mate, so I can avoid having to live on a diet of Pot Noodles. If anyone out there in the Glasgow area is looking for a room to rent from January onwards (unlikely I know but "He who dares" and all that) then please get back to me (uncle.eddie at virgin.net) (phone:0141 579 8826). Or even if you know someone who's looking show them this message. I live in a really quiet street in King's Park and my rent is very reasonable. It's only 12 minutes on the train to the city centre and a further 3 mins walk from there to 13th Note. Sorry if this is what is known as List Abuse but I have to try don't I? I'd rather have someone off this list move in than some random Weedgie. Well thanks for listening and have a great Christmas and happy new year. When you're out having fun and quaffing Moet, think of me - stuck at home with Celine Dion on the telly and Status Quo on the stereo. Merry Christmas?!? Aye right - heard it.....

Silly man, but we know better, we understand physics and the optical illusion. Do not let this stop you from howling, wild things. Or at least staring in awe. overwhelming really when the moon seems to fill the sky. Space becomes less abstract; I feel very much on top on the earth, a physical thing in the universe. And then I start thinking about this and it's back to the mental universe for me... oh well. moments of clarity are wonderful things. I watched "Being There" on the weekend. It's a lovely movie, a good Sunday morning movie. oh, i cried, of course i did. like the plastic bag scene in american beauty, it's so amazing when the beautiful just leaps out in front of us, dazzling, and you get that warm chest feeling like all is right in the world (though you still know that so much is wrong, but it's okay for a few minutes.) it's bloody beautiful. mmmm. (I have to pause for a while and gather my emotions again as they've been spilled by beautiful things. hm, well, i don't know if that worked. but it was nice.) christmas has started to get to me. i'm all smiles and good cheer lately. Also, my little brother has declared his love for b&s. Story is: he bought me IYFS for Christmas, but my other brother told him I already had it ("she's got, like, six belle and sebastian cds.") But, instead of returning it, he opened it and listened to it and *couldn't stop listening to it*. Whoo! said I into the phone when he told me in true b&s new-fan style, "I'd return it, but then I wouldn't have it, and I don't think I can do that." So I bought him Tigermilk for Christmas. Mwah ha ha! And hey, was it my imagination or did Steve Kado publicly declare a list crush on me a few days ago? And was I not blushing upon reading this? Oh, I was. And I was also thinking about how a while ago he declared the new cool as writing in magic marker on your t-shirts. I think this is damn straight spiff. He also noted that he went drinking last Thursday night and suffered a two-day hangover. I too went drinking on Thursday night and suffered a very long one-day hangover. Coincidence? Or just Canadian? Or was everyone drinking Thursday night? I have a feeling you were... Anyway, Steve, if I'm the bee's knees, then you're the cat's pajamas. Just thought I'd share that with y'all. (cat's pajamas being a good thing - idioms can be so confusing, even in yr own language...) Okay. This was supposed to be a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year, Joy to the World and Peace on Earth email. And it is because I wish all of the above on all you sinister individuals (even those who have unsubbed for a short while.) And be thankful that my battery is going low (on the computer, not on me), so I must stop writing. Ah, but one more thing: I have joined the ranks of the glasses-wearing. Now that I can see clearly outside of two feet around me, perhaps my world view and ideas about reality will change. ha. (but they *are* nice glasses, I have to say.) Must go now and read all the far away signs that I can see. Like signs of the apocalypse. No, still a bit blurry... nothing to fear here. I do see shortbeard and butter tarts though, yum. love Robyn ===== I was reading the dictionary.

I think he does a terrible job. I'm all in favour of having advertisements at the end of every message. It would double the likelihood of finding anything interesting in them. Just look at this description of a humble place of worship, taken from a well-known ecclesiastical guidebook: "HONEYCHURCH St Mary * Norman farmers' chapel The sign on the door says simply, "This door is never locked". It should be the motto of the Church of England...The nave is filled with seats so worm-eaten that the rear ones would wear holes in all but the stoutest flannel. By the door is a small poor-box. The pulpit is primitive, as are the floorbords that substitute for flagstones or tiles...The only cuiosity in what passes for the chancel are some medieval cooking pots. These are stored, for some reason, under a table next to the altar. Pevsner suggests that these may have been acoustic pots, to be set in the walls of chancels allegedly to enhance the sound of singing." No further comment is required. I promise to reply to my e-chums tomorrow. Mike and Pam, tape tree chipmonks, sorry I didn't managed to send the tapes before last week's jingle jangle joyola.

Apparently it was the extreme cost of his prancing around my TV screen like some sort of luvvy B&S ponce that resulted in Blakes Seven being sooooo bad.

Shenna MC-ed on the new version of Battery Acid. I know someone on this list that fancies her alot, and he didn't turn up. Can I just say "Ha, ha, ha" please? Someone tried to make me smoke dope in Finsbury park while I was waiting for my train, but I said No Sir, I want my kisses to taste only of Coca Cola. And they do, you know! skipping tickets and not drinking gin and tonics, I still had change in my pocket to nip into town today and complete my christmas shopping. That's the cuban boyz single and a couple of sherbet dip daps, thankyouverymuch. The thing about Baxendale is, you find it hard to believe they're not on pop of the tops already. It's not just that they should be, they'd just look *so* right there. Amelia from Marine Research kept bumping into me while she was displaying some pretty impressive dance moves. She always said sorry, but then did it again. I don't know, popstars eh? I decided the best thing to do would be to shake my hips a little, and jerkily tilt my head a bit, whilst trying to retain some form of composure. But then the SUPERPOPELECTRONIX set in, and I couldn't help but jump around like everyone else. It was fantastic to be surrounded by a few people under the age of 25, too. Me and my friend Dan ("I'm not a goth!") talked loudly throughout the first band, bitching about their bass player. People were none too impressed, I have to say...but really, don't you ever get that feeling where you want to shout "Shut up!" very loudly, and then pretend it wasn't you? Happy christmas. Remember Y2K, The bug is coming..

As the list perhaps may or may not work at any point from here on forward, I figured I would post in the hopes of testing to see. I am listening to Sinister as I write, so this fulfills my B&S content. A friend sent me a link today which made me laugh and I thought I would share it with you.

Stop. And then I heard Dylan in the Movies and I thought can this just be about one sad reference to one great film: Don't Look Back and surely `In the movies` should refer to that 80s film catastrophe Dylan flaunted his rancid wrinkles in.... and I still love him with his hair like old rope... or even Pat Garrett or something - a mannerism that only Stu M knew but I dreaded the reality as a throwaway lyric, no matter how great the group is a crime - one reference to a cult 60s extend pop promo (sacriledge) can never be enough to drive ANY any song, so don't let me down because until tonight I thought it meant escape and excitement and so much more - Dylan in the movies, well that's like On The Road or One Flew Over The Cuckoo Nest in terms of titles so it just has to mean more. And then that Sinister guy who nearly got buggered outside Preston well that was just excitement wasn't it? People with too much time on their hands like me and this horrible home crowd of mine seem to fantasise about their sexual persuasions - YES TONIGHT IN THE PUB - and yet each time I think more & more that it really is down to the difference between caring and desire and whether you can feel passion for the same sex in the same sense that most of us can probably imagine the comfort of a real friends arms as enough to feel safe for them to share anything together. Well which man didn't want to lay beside Richey Edwards in admiration but why do these people keep coming to me and saying they're not happy in terms of relationships and perhaps their sexuality is in question because I know that inside any of my own flirtations with the same sex have been vain and showy and sad - exciting yes but in the same way as a car crash or the rush of the bare thrill of being punched hard in a fight - so if you have to debate it with me then your probably as cynical as I and cynical means nothing as it's the sort of made up word that people keep pretending exists like `evil` or `wicked` or `Jesus`. Which is cheap of me. Sorry if this hurts but probalby you can say that if somebody is open enough to question their sexual desires to check properly what they are they probably truely know where they are or at least their not in any kind of scared denial. I wonder what denial of sexuality feels like - is it like waiting to go to the toilet so you get a greater sense of relief? So If Your Feeling Sinister changed everything bad about tonight like it seems to again and again and though it won't take the taste of kebab out of my throat in the morning or even allow me to wish I'd never written or mailed you this in my pretentious haze it does make me feel wanted which is kind so this could either be the best or worst of posts I've ever composed. Oh back again. Friends at home seemed so good didn't they and then you went to uni and realised that the friends at home were even better and then you came back from uni and realised that in actual fact the uni friends were better and that you needed to change your rose tinted glasses and then every time you got back after that your home friends seemed to degenerate even further and then you realised that they weren't really getting worse but were just standing still and you moved off in different ways and left them alone. So get away I say and DON'T LOOK BACK - ah I got it at last so Stu M is saved from my mind of the crime of being shallow. If you look at this mail as individual sentances or paragraphs and it doesn't scan try treating it as a whole and everythings coming into place together. Thanks to those who sent Ralph Steadman info as I neglected to thank them personnaly, but bizarelly remember now when I really should be remembering to lock the house or something more important... but you're all so great and I want to know you make me feel settled all over so this list can never die as complacency is the most radical force in modern life. What happened to all the females on the list recently. Honestly you take away free computing access for the xmas period and we see the real ownership of home computer users - you all need to lose testosterone over some internet porn tonight and come back witrh glittery thighs tommorow. You realise of course as I make all these typos and speeling mistakes I think of the American individual on this list (oh so specific) who commented on the British Sinisterarians over ambitious use of their own language but you must forgive us as few of us on this side of the Atlantic would ever have the indie-chic of being into B&S were it not a part of our university curriculum. Well I may be wrong but American listees just seem so cool in comparison. Which is probably a nice point to wish you all well and say goodnight at last Love and xmas/winterval wishes Tom x +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Message-ID: <3861CEC3.B48DA47@bellsouth.net> hello there, it's two a.m. here and i'm exhausted. but i couldn't sleep until i had posted. right now i'm listening to nina simone, but that's not what this is about... last year. christmas eve. florence gives me an american pressing of "the boy with the arab strap," on vinyl. it was during a break from the consumer frenzy at the bookstore where i work and we exchanged presents on the sidewalk. i was enamored of the album cover, it seemed to express everything that i was feeling at the moment, that i held it close and counted the seconds before getting home to play it. then i played it and i fell in love...with B&S. oh that sound... those notes, bum ones and all... that vibe... those harmonies... those songs, especially the songs... they were the strongest i had heard in ages. the next day, i bought the c.d. so that i could play it at work. tonight, after work, florence came by and sitting down across the street from where we were last year, we shoved this year's gifts into each other's hands.. she handed me three packages... 1. a salako single. (this led me to quip, "another jeepster christmas..." which in turn led her to smile.) 2. a blue belle and sebastian t-shirt. (one size too small for me, imported all the way from london. now, i'm amazed). 3. a small, clear plastic box containing three B&S pins. (for my guitar strap, back pack, anything that can be pinned). at the record shop earlier today i bought my girlfriend, laura, a copy of "TBWTAS" and "Tigermilk." (they didn't have "IYFS" in stock). another jeepster christmas. it makes it all worth while. j.c. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

I joined up ages ago, and on the eve of my graduation from the nursery my poor old computer died. So I took it to the witch doctor, who sacrificed a goat over it before dancing around it naked waving a flaming torch. This, he claimed, fixed it. So I took it home (icy roads, rubbish car, near death) and desperately attempted to get to my precious list. But it still didn't work... until today. So, here I am. I was wondering if it's criminal to play Tigermilk to fans of Robbie Williams. I played it in my car the other day, and the other's hated it because it was 'too depressing' (?). Oh well. They didn't like Rialto either though, so maybe they're all just completely made. I'd better go no, before I embarrass myself in front of my peers. If I haven't already.

We would like to say that we feel that nobody really deserves Joseph, however, we are a non-profit organization and we rely upon the contributions of our benefactor. Joseph has cost us dearly in legal fees, bail monies, and on our credit cards, so we felt that the first person who offered to adopt him would definitely be accepted, and Joseph would be dispatched immediately. If you look closely to the fine print of the contract you sign, our solicitors ensured that he could never be returned to us, except with a very sizeable donation (I believe the sum was in the millions), so the little liability is yours forever. We would also like to inform you that it seems as though Edward, the other bear pictured in the Belle and Sebastian Bong-A-Thon photo, has run away from home today. We believe that he has followed in Joseph's path and will most likely arrive around the same time. You should be able to tell them apart as they are both clearly labelled. We are hoping that you will help The Sini-Bear Adoption Agency in finding a good home somewhere in Scotland for Edward, as the two bears are quite close friends, and Edward was devastated by Joesph's leaving. It should be noted that Edward has a fondness for wearing women's clothing, working all night and sleeping all day, much like most Canadian Lumberjacks, and he especially prefers soft angora sweaters. I hope this helps you. Sincerely, The Sini-Bear Adoption Agency. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

So if I cleared the nursery out last night because they were all to shocked by the sort of individuals given space to rant on Sinister I can only apologise. Then again you might all be trapped here listening to me foaming at the jaw bone if the `unsubscribe sinister` command still isn't working properly. Ha-ha my evil plan worked - whoops I said that `evil` didn't exist didn't I? Well I'm not looking back at THAT mail to check. So far no differences between the pissed and sober mail I know, but I'm trying. Lovely to see Robyn Fadden remind me of a great cinematic feeling: "I watched "Being There" on the weekend. It's a lovely movie, a good Sunday morning movie. oh, i cried, of course i did. like the plastic bag scene in american beauty, it's so amazing when the beautiful just leaps out in front of us, dazzling, and you get that warm chest feeling like all is right in the world (though you still know that so much is wrong, but it's okay for a few minutes.) it's bloody beautiful." Well I'm certainly looking forward to American Beauty (over here in the new year) but I always loved Being There and apparantly it was John Major (British ex-Prime Minister of very little note - American listees) favourite film of all time which seems perfect that a nobody PM can find the story of a simple man who rose from obscurity by being in the right place at the right time to the ranks of President something he can relate to. John Major was just Chance - although he should probably have just stuck to the walking on water bit rather than the ERM. Incidently if you like Peter Seller's films, expecialy Being There then the one to watch is `Hoffman`, a little known 1970 classic about the story of an middle aged man blackmailing a young women because he wants to mother her... well it is great actually so there... and I just know that it's the sorta thing you Sinister folks would just love. Go check. Before I let this mail lie I seem to also remember (oh I'm so anally happy in comatose trivia land) that after making `Hoffman` Peter Sellers got all these lovely letters from caring people wanting to make him feel happier whic is exactly what I got after last nights drunken meeting with the Sinister list. And fantastic you all were to. It doesn't feel like xmas yet so at least it won't be an anti-climax for me - and naturally I wish all the best for you lot sticking around here. love Tom +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Last year I couldn't stop myself writing songs - partly on the road, sitting in bed in my pyjamas playing my guitar. They were the first ones I'd ever done which I thought were good enough. I paid for the studio time myself because I didn't want any pressure on. It cost £4,000, but I enjoyed holding the reins and it's sold quite well - about 20,000 in America - so I've got my money back and more. The first concert in Leeds was scary until some men in the crowd shouted encouragement and threw sweets and I told myself, Don't be silly. Since then I've enjoyed playing live. I've just bought a house so I was glad when Jeepster [Belle And Sebastian's label] offered to finance another one which I'll work on after we finish the band album we're recording now." The same publication features a 14 page article on Nick Drake, & news for all Kate Rusby fans on the list. The three of you can see her at Folk On Two's award bash at The Barbican on Feb 7th. Bet Martin Carthy blows her & her cute ringlets off stage.

A white christmas here in Michigan, though the cold is a bit much. You forget how cold single diget temperatures are until you walk out and your face starts feeling all pins and needles like. The bare minimum of B&S content, I went to a christmas party last night after work and managed to slip some B&S into the CD player. It wasn't a very big hit, but I put TBWTAS on and people started enjoying it as well as "I Spent the Summer Wasting" since a few people there had heard those two songs on the local college radio. Erica said: >I went to a dinner party last week, and sang christmas carols in a ragga >style. Has anyone ever done a Belle and Sebastian song in a ragga style? >Ooh, Ooh, b&s content. Now, back to something entirely different. Christmas songs done ragga style? That is a sinister idea. Of course me and my friends had to try this, as well as mixing a wealth of other styles in there as well. I think my personal fav was the metal version of Deck the Halls. A good time was had by all. Erica also said: >Amelia from Marine Research kept bumping into me while she Scary part is that as I read this "Sounds from the Gulf Stream" is playing in the background, a nice CD and one of my better Christmas gifts thus far this year.

While listening to Looper's "Impossible Things #2" with a friend who was rather impressed by it, my friend remarked; "You know, this song wouldn't be half as cool if it wasn't for that accent". It's true, the accent is just aces, and I must say I dig English slang, something about words like wanker and shite and arse. Though I think it's about time for everyone to stop trying to sound like Austin Powers :-) Ooohhh, B&S is part of the curriculum? Too cool, a grad course in twee. I think the closest I ever got to indie-chic was the indie-chick that sat next to me in Psych class and listened to Ani Difranco:-) I must say that I was suprised by the amount of B&S material I found in Ann Arbor and East Lansing (two of the bigger college towns in Michigan), I don't know if that's an indication of their popularity or just an indication of the depth of material stores in college towns carry. I do know that *someone* at MSU likes B&S since I usually hear a B&S song once a day on our college station. Now I have to see if I can get some Looper played...

What's it all about then? Who's got the right idea. I know lots of people with lots of ideas. I know someone going to my towns only 'nightclub' (a basement under Woolworths) like she does every Friday night. I know someone going to Don Valley Stadium, with the intention of exposing herself to the first TV camera she sees. I know people planning a quiet night in (or a dirty night in, depending on their love lives). What? Yeah, I suppose I should write about the 'life of a B&S fan' to avoid allagations of list abuse and the resulting public flogging. Well, on Millenuim Eve I had hoped to invite both my friends round and then sit around looking glum for a while before listening to Radiohead's 'Fitter, Happier' at midnight. Unfortunately, getting two people to walk down the road to my house is beyond my organisational capacity, so I'll probably be ringing in the third millenium with a mug of tea and a Sundays album. Whatever you're doing, have a good one.

(almost as scary as the hamster dance song. almost.) we get over the trauma by watching my new gregory's girl video. i eat chocolate euros and am happy. in the evening a minor row erupts because my sister doesn't think that 'ad' is a valid scrabble word, but several jd and cokes later and she can't even add up how much 'ad' would score, so the crisis passes. plus we are listening to tigermilk, my new *legal* copy, which is pronounced by the older generation to be quite pleasant, and generally creates an atmosphere of peace and good will. unfortunately short-lived, as my blissful gene kelly fix is ruined by philistine sister declaring that 'singing in the rain' is, and i quote, 'the most boring film in the world, there's no story, look, they've just been dancing around like twats for 20 minutes'. then we all get far too drunk and cry in front of 'the royle family'. more flood warnings. thunder. lightning. i begin to fear divine retribution for neglecting all those wee animals over the years, never mind the ghost of christmas pets in the shape of zombie spkie downstairs. fall asleep in front of 'the italian job'. and that's it for another year... now i enter the dark night of the soul between xmas and new year, trying to watch everything i taped, impatient to get out of flooded sussex and up to glasgow which has an even more special appeal now than it did when it was just the home of belle and sebby... so, fingers crossed that sinister will survive into the year 2000. thank you honey. thank you everyone. happy new year. and be nice to your hamster, you just never know when it's going to turn on you... extra helpings of maudlin love, archel xxxxxxxxxxx ps: the official deadline for submissions to the first edition of 'buzzwords' (due to appear on a website near you at the end of january) is FRIDAY JANUARY 14TH. probably. ******** Rachel Playforth archel at iname.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

I was listening to My Life Story's 'The Golden Mile' in the bath and wondering why they aren't as good as that anymore. Then I started listening to Speedy.

I hardly ever write because the address I subscribed to this list forces me to do so through telnet and I really hate that. I could rectify the situation but I don't see much of a need. Anyhow though. I hope everyone is having a lovely holiday season. I received the last two B&S CDs I needed to complete my collection -- no more scratchy copy-of-a-copy-of-a-copy Tigermilk tape. Now if only they'd put the Evening Session on CD...Oh, and the other one was Dog on Wheels, incidentally, of which I only had two songs on my bootleg copy of Tigermilk which somehow got scratched up and skips to a degree I cannot deal with. So yay!!! Christmas itself was pretty swell...I got many things that I asked for, including this massive Russian dictionary that I had to ask for because I couldn't afford it myself -- $50 US, so roughly 35 pounds. And also a little mini stereo to take back with me to Scotland -- oh, I didn't mention that I've been living in Glasgow for the past three months studying at the Uni but that I'm now home in the States for Christmas/New Year's/term break. Nice. But strange to be back. My dad painted my room a new color so I'm very disoriented. And I also left at the point when the kitten we got this summer was still very tiny. Now she's 6 months old, has her cat fur (i.e. no longer as fluffy) and do you know how kittens have that cute little meow and then it turns into an adult cat meow? Well, that's what happened and she's all big and it's sort of sad! But she remembers me and I know this because she's been following me around and sleeping in my room at night. So she still likes me. But I miss being in Glasgow and I will be flying back in less than two weeks! Too bad I hate to fly. p.s. Tiago -- you're right, Charlie Brown is very twee and I started listening to the soundtrack from "Charlie Brown's Christmas" about 3 weeks before Christmas, and everybody laughed because they said it was too early for Christmas music but I love it. But I especially like Snoopy. Charlie Brown is very sweet, though. Well, I have gone on and on quite long enough, so I will leave you now. But if anyone knows of any meet-ups or worthwhile events -- of which there are many in Glasgow -- please please let me know because I am always on the lookout but somehow I always miss things! Or if anyone wants to meet up let me know because I would be more than happy to arrange something. Or even if anyone wants to meet up in the Phialdelphia area before January 8, which is when I will be heading back. Bye bye!!!

Message-ID: <01bf5083$f5bceb40$LocalHost@itjfvkli> Dear belle and sebastian Die Hard fans, Have I eaten one Smartie too many or did Archel say she'd had an overflowing dogs' toilet lapping at her door? Have I eaten two Smarties too many or did Isobel Campbell say some "men" had shouted encouragement and thrown sweets at Leeds? You all kept that very quiet. What kind of encouragement? I once saw the Mint Juleps, and some men shouted encouragement at them too. "Show us what you've got!" were the precise words. "I haven't got anything" came back the reply. A mysterious exchange. I've been showered with job offers since I made it clear I was going to grass on you all for abusing work facilities, but I'd like a few more before I decide which one to choose, so come on, don't be shy! A nice fat salary would be nice, because I want to buy a house next to Isobel's, so I can shout encouragement to her whenever I see the bathroom light go on. And I want to throw sweets onto the drive, so that the huge burglar floodlight turns on. Isobel will think it's a camera flash and automatically pull that little girl lost face that we all know and love, even though she's tucking in to her bangers and smash. A morsel of mashed potato substitute will dribble out of the corner of her darling mouth and all her robots will fall about laughing metallically. One of them will topple over. I watched a film last night, "Twister" it was called. What a fucking swizz.

CH4 teletext p453 has a penetrating interview with Stu D conducted by one John Earls. Edited highlights below for non UK/non TV people: "OK Stu, what's your fave album? "It'd have to be something by Elvis Presley. I don't have a preference between his early and later period. His early period was the most influential - I can't imagine how shocking he would have appeared. Then in the 70's, to give the kind of performances he did when he was so ill is equally inspiring." Do B&S or Looper plan to inspire us this Millennium Eve? "No plans to, no. And no plans for the new year, either. I should have a good celebration with my wife Karn because I worry a lot about what's going to happen on New Year's Day. Nobody seems to take the Millennium Bug seriously in Britain, but I do. I've stocked up on a lot of tinned food. No, I'm not joking!" What's your product of the Millennium, then? "Coca-Cola, of which I drink a lot. Regular, not Diet." Millennium No 1? "It won't have anything to do with what's the best song, it'll be a case of whichever is the biggest band who chooses to release a record just beforehand. Spice Girls would be the obvious choice." Millennium Dome: "Ah, who cares? Of course, you could say that there are many more deserving causes, but when does Government money ever go to the deserving causes? I won't be going so it's of little interest to me" UK only bit, sorry. Sally says that Steve Lamacq will feature some live Belle & Sebastian as part of his Fantasy Festival tonight, but we guess it will only be a previously broadcast Bowlie song.

I am not rerally sure why i am posting but this morning I found out that Curtis Mayfield died on Sunday and i am pretty upset. So rest in peace Curtis I loved your voice. BandS content coming up i saw some schoolgirls looking at their CDs the other day in HMV and the general opinion seemed to be "Kawaii" which is the only word i could understand but I believe this means cute so there you go soon they will rule the schools here too.oh yeah could any Uk listees tell me if " The Great Escape " is on TV this year it was always on TV on Boxing day when I was a kid everytime I see it I think Steve Mcqueen is going to make it over that bloody fence but he never does but he looks pretty cool riding his bike, all his own stunts you know, anyway so you believe he's gonna make it. Anyyway so when its the middle of the night and he or she has just popped up in your dreams again and you think they are there beside you and of course their not. Or when fuckin Margaret Thatcher appears on tv and you get the same shiver of fear or hate of what you might do to her if you got your hands on the evil bitch as you did when you were at school. Then Curtis is often the only man to listen to because he makes you believe you are going to make it and that human beings despite being capable of great cruelty are also able to be absolutely beautiful. I'm just sorry he didnt make it. Kevin. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!

I think Spike may have a career on the net. Sort of like the way those other hamsters are the "Beatles" of the hamster rock and roll world with the good boy image. Spike could be the Stones version of Net Hamster. Get him a leather jacket, an agent, a fast hamster car. Throw in some loud awful sounds and create a scandal then sit back and collect royalties. In a few weeks sell the bugger on e-bay for a few hundred thousand, (well, I mean, who wants a hamster so starved for attention that he plays dead and messes up your emotions, plus you will have all that guilt from exploiting the little guy and the best way to combat that is to make him go away.) Then invest all the money into short term investments. Buy yourself a degree and retire in the Caymen Islands ordering Belle and Sebastian cd's over the internet. The Major, who couldn't be with us this evening because he is exhausted from having played Quake 3 and other computer games all day, would like to say that he is looking forward to spending next Christmas with his dad rather than the lunatic bin which his mother always gets guilted into attending. You will notice that when the annual Christmas specials appear on the televsion that every year when you see it, you see something a little differently than the last time. At the institution where they seem to give unlimited day passes, everything will happen exactly as it does every year. There will be no deviation from the set pattern. Grandma will stay up all Christmas Eve drinking and making enough food for an entire subdivision. Eventually near when the time is about right she will pass out until around 11:00 in the morning. Then the psychotic behaviour starts. The oldest sister, and alcholic with serious epilepsy and mental deficiency will arrive with her husband, equally resticted to a very strange world. Medication seems to stabilize him. Naturally they will arrive quite under the influence and will no doubt be in a snit over some minor inconvience. Of course she will be bruised at some place for having had one of her twice weekly seizures. She's not supposed to drink, but she is supposed to take her meds. She got it backwards. Oh, and they eat lots of onions so their farts, many of them, smell really bad. Then will arrive the oldest brother, a person on welfare in his mid 40's because he broke down 5 years ago when he decided to reveal to the world that since he had been 18 he was incapable obtaining anything more than a semi. He thrived on weeping to anyone who would listen all about his sexual dysfunction. Eventually he will come out of the closet. Most like will arrive with the oldest is the next in line. He is the one that a fringe order of Franciscan monks decided to send home until he could resolve some of his problems. My understanding was that was why people joined up with the fringe elements. They had a midget amongst them and they dressed in brown robes and sandals. So now he is managing a doughnut shop and I am quite certain he still has not gone out with a woman. However the monks did share underwear. But they ate alot of cabbage so their farts smelled really bad. Next there are the indetical twins in their mid thirties who have never moved out of the basement of their mother's house. They keep each other company. They are very quiet and drink excessively. Their career paths are wallowing in a factory somewhere and applying undercoating on cars. The truly have no life. The youngest of the brood will possibly arrive with his girlfriend, and although normal in appearance, spend most of his formative years in substance abuse and now appears to be enlarging himself through over eating. The next member in the gather is the televesion in the living room, and the radio in the kitchen. They will be turned up loud and and nobody will be listening nor watching either. They are used only to somehow insert a sane person into the room. (Sorry, not allowed to say anything bad about the Major's mom, as much as I would like to.) Everyone will drink too much, eat too much, and argue too much. All until it's time to go home. Same thing every year. The Major survives in true commando style by eating gobs of chocolate, much like many people out there, and rushing on sugar all day. He is the only young one, and it is highly unlikely that ay of them will ever propogate, which is a wonderful thought for humanity, so he will be overwhelmed with toys to help him on his sugar high. He somehow landed in complete Pokémon heaven by amassing a few hundred cards and other stuff like chunks of coloured glass. My own traumatic experience was that my lighter ran out on Christmas Eve and I only had 18 matchs to last me the entire day. I lit a candle and used that for me smokes until Boxing Day when I went across the street to the store to get a new lighter and discovered that they had remained open 24 hours because they are Muslims. I hope Archel keeps me in mind when she has completely exploited the hamster for having come up with the idea. Isobel Campbell can do no wrong. She is who she is and that is why we like her so. One must accept the lovely miss exactly as she is, and love her dearly. Same goes for List Mummy who we all hope is feeling better.

For example, I didn't know that in Greece you open your christmas pressies on New Years eve! And I didn't know...well I don't really understand what Archel wrote, but Pete Miller talked about hampsters? For some reason I now think that Archel roasts hampsters and Pete Miller goes ice skating. I went ice-skating in Streatham once. No hampsters though. Just child molesting. Heehee....hamPsters... I find that awfully funny. Skellingtons are funny too! Clang! I seem to have strayed from my original point. The words that have summed up my Christmas so far are "Godzilla is GRATE!", cos he is! Today I watched "Godzilla Raids Again", and I'm taping "Godzilla vs. Hedorah" and "The Revenge of Godzilla" tonight! Yay! When I grow up I'm going to be a japanese kung-fu girl popstar monk time travelling meerkat Godzilla! Dressed in bacofoil of course! Grr Arrg!*, I will grr, as I rampage through the streets of Tokyo and Osaka! Rooarrr!, I will wail, as I trample you feeble underlings under my foot! Splish-Splash!

If anyone's at the Amphetameanies gig and spots me wandering around, come up and say hello, 'k? Quite an eventful little time, as times go No more dead bodies have been forthcoming, but relatives' noses have been broken, people have been crying and generally sulking in every way. Yes, that's right. It's the festive season!!! Hurrah! So, I won't be in my custom-built cardboard bunker come midnight 1999/2000, instead I'll be wandering around in the open, watching the skies and humming TIJAMRS until someone recognises the song. Then myself and that person (it's got to be a girl though) shall re-populate the planet with lots and lots of tiny little twee people. Soooo, if you wanna repopulate the Earth, give me a call Apart from that, I'll be praying that my video recorder's timer actually works for once and I can tape The Tube. I'd use the living-room one, but Only An Excuse will be gracing that old beast ;) God I waffle on about bugger all, don't I?

Much fun had moving to my comfortable new flat here in sunny Portsmouth yesterday. I had to swiftly uncover my copy of Tigermilk to calm myself down while sorting through endless heavy boxes. I'd love to invite you all to a housewarming but I fear the effects of static from all those cardigans in close proximity. Plus my downstairs neighbour may complain and call in the tweeness abatement society on my ass. Ho hum. Only the Willenium to deal with now before my life returns to normal. I intend to spend it mildly drunk watching the all the films I have taped and hoping the World doesn't end. Hope you have a fun one too.

It is one thing to raise hell at uni but at home and at christmas, well that's just sacred isn't it? I dunno, but here I am this morning and I feel like I could be sick at any minute (but then that's probably cause I tried to induce it last night when I was on my hands and knees) and even this `soothing` cup `o` tea seems to be making my wooz like anything, which has to be a drag cause I've fallen over twice already and it ain't even 9:00am yet (well actually now I look it is and I probably won't send this mail till much later anyroad continuity fans). In short or many series of dad's shots in me (checking through this email and even I don't understand this pun really) that is how I am the way I am now, quivering beside myself, basicaly drunk still, but more shell shocked and I've only really just found myself when I woke (thankfully on my own bed) and Morrissey's I Am Hated For Loving Going round in an eternal loop in my brain which just maybe had something to do with the stereo which has clearly been looping it all night - oh damn do you think anybody heard? So me and my man/friend/idle plaything got wrecked on a combination of every conceivable substance and then seemed to make a meal (just a pasta experiment which seemed peppery but in it's own cute way on fire) which was clearly nice as I keep tasting it every 20 seconds even now - or perhaps that's the crisps and coleslaw and potato salad which I managed to steal from the 24 hour Tesco at 2am when we slyed in there to get away from my parents coming home... actually most of that shit seemed to end up on a park bench if I remember cause my mouth couldn't direct it. Get me wrong here, please do but I'm no thief, clearly an unarmed drunk but no kind of thief cause I got busted in Tescos taking the first tub of coleslaw so we had to sneak round again - oh the indignity just keeps coming back into my mind. And, as I sit in this room I really hope I hid the evidence of dad's cigar butts that we smoked to high heaven, otherwise he'll start thinking that we should be going to his gentlemen's club together. But no, cause men who play footsie with their `idle plaything` friends don't belong in the Satsuma lounges of this world. Shit Mum's on the move which worries me as it might well worry you when ever you see the word Mum it always starts with a capital `M` - well so long as she keeps away from my room then I might just get away with it all my life. You should see the state of me... no ammount of early morning lavender soap can take off the tramp, collapsed look of a night dressed in old clothes passed out. Now perhaps would be the time to check out that original message I wrote with THe MAn last night to see what I had to say to you all when I was still optomistic - give them shit and they shall lap it up seemed the order of the day but `you guys` are too damn cute for that so I'll see if there were any key points in last nights email bashing session that you NEED to know: Well here is how that mail that I just had to write opens - please keep track of the quotation marks or you'll be confusing me with when I was an alltogether different person: "Xmas result Clean your lungs [sleep] Don't be ashamed to have friends Cough discreatly on my eye-da-down I want to explore your face like a typical ADE Drink yes drink and be with me I left the dope behind coz the bastard kept saying suck my cocaine like it lipped your windowsill and my cartel wasn't ready for his shabby bitch attiude. Bitch. Bitch came so closely.. Or is this a nothing off-hand belong. Of coure it is so just dismiss my desire. If you make sense of any of my grudges then I challenge you to a sword fight with our proud irregualarities. Some men know the full extent of my distress." Ok that's the first part and really it doesn't say anything does it, but what I do remember is at this point I shout to the man (Lee) that he really needed to stick a bit of B&S content in the mail. What's B&S he choked so I played him Get Me Away From Here I'm Dying and I relayed this Lancastrian Black Metal fans reactions to our beloved group of minstels into that mail: "My friend lee comments on Get Me Away From Here I'm Dying: like any other song it's weak with nothing to say. Don't even quote me it's cheap FUCKER" You know that was just poor wasn't it but I sorta get his bad attitude cause I don't see the need we all seem to have to divide up our emails and say B&S content NOW - here, look 2 lines on your favourite band... I mean we're cut from the same chords so at least we should ooze (like a straw ozzes, straws ooze) Belle & Sebastian out of every orafice, shouldn't we? You can tell from the sound of my voice that I love Belle & friend as I tell you how we hid in the closet last night (how ineptly inapt our hiding place was for those so comfortable with their own sexuality that they can hide in closets with male friends and never question - it took years to get to this YOU KNOW) just to avoid dad looking for his cigars and Mum wondering who emptied the vodka down their throats. You know a believer when your spaken to, spak. Lovely cruddled spaks the lot of yous. When you clean up a mess it seems to just go but when you destroy a mess it's urban warfare - like a spot that needs wasting (on the face) the mess just seems to get bigger as you `deal` with the finer points of it. So my only saving grace last night was that me and the man managed to bag up the evidence eventually and at least get it to the bin outside - lest anyone should ever look in there - and that was like bagging a body piece by dirty piece I can say - so you just do it and to see the man's face as he realised the cloth I'd given him to scrape the raw meat of the kitchen floor was actually Mum's knickers was a joy that no ammount of headaches and hangover (oh you knew how gone I was and I never get gone do you hear) will erase. That was probaly the same time I ripped my hand apart, but like I said it was blitzkreig last night in that kitchen... please note all the while during our grand clean dad's Hits Of the Movies cd on the go with old classics like Huey Lewis and the News - Power of Love from Back To The Future and The Heat is On from Beverly Hills Cop --- oh yeh and Tublar Bells and then I think I stuck on Hunky Dory and the world just lit up as my bleeding hand dripped alover the man. Oh bliss which was good as we ran away from my house at that point before we could trash it, only coming back hours later to rip away his harddrive, still hanging off my emaciated machince like a horrible featus and also to stop The Sting from recording all night - oh I get to watch Paul Newman today! Now please think of all the Tesco's employees who I explained the finer points of decent animalistic fisting to last night - I'll think of them now as I realise that probably half of my old school works at that late night conveniance and the other half can't cause they have babies to fob off on relatives or drown. Why did the man want to go to his old house - it was sweet wasn't it. I always thought of him as a Chelsea hard bun, a rude dog to us dweebs but he's soft isn't he.... he, himself was responsible for this section of that email I was gonna send you last night - I probably shoulda... anyway: "I love. Indulge me. In layers of acrylic. Ok I am an 8 year old and this is the sentance of a 9 year old. Never exhume. Ignore everything" Now I think if Suede has a vacancy the man who scribed that should aply his talent that way. Well this seems to near the obvious conclusion and you just know your inbox will never be the same again so I'll conclude while the goings hot. Now I leave you with my original sign off from last nights mail: "love Tom Please don't worry Please don't grope a cheerleader in bushes" The love stands but don't grope - a stroke will do - take your victim to a park hut at least. love Tom +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Funny, now that I'm not at work I no longer have an ovrepowering urge to take a nap. But, I am thinking perhaps I should study up on the symptoms and whatnot, so I have a stronger hooky alibi. Here is a sad thought, New Years in Seattle got canceled by the mayor for fear of public safety, guess I'll just be going to Portland... Here is a sadder thought, my record player (which so far has been used exclusively for B&S) has started to sound all crackly and the bass more moans than booms. So I am left with the dilemma of listening to my "The Soft Bulletin" CD in perfect fidelity, or "Tigermilk" all distorted. Life is complex. I mean, is it just me, or is it getting heavy? - R.

A bit like a friendly Polar Bear called Godfrey. I have the pleasure of being back at work. Actually it's not that bad as yesterday I fell asleep under my desk for a few hours, yes George Castanza is my hero, and today I have a can of Foster's in front of me as I type, obviously I wouldn't drink the shit normally but as it's in work time and it's free what the hell. I played the La's album yesterday which I hadn't done for donkey's and it was quite a pleasurable experience. I find it very funny that Lee Majors, who went on to star in the excellent Six Million Dollar Man, and John Power from the La's said it was crap at the time. Especially when the latter went on to perfect crapness with his current 3 piece beat combo Cast. For Christmas, like any streetwise kid, I got the Cast box set and also a token redeemable for mobbyfone thingys. I can't wait to get the latter as I want to ring everyone up on trains and say "I'm on the train" very loudly. As apparently that's the thing to do. Plus the one I want acts as a vibrator alert which is always handy as it can prevent many unforeseen accidents, it sends S&M messages, and has WAP, games and apparently you can even ring people and they can ring you. Wow! What fun... Actually if I can ever be arsed to walk into a mobbyfone shop and get one, it will have one health benefit as I'll doubt I'll be able to fit a pack of 20 cigarettes and a mobbyfone in my trouser pocket. A dilemma to ponder for the next century if ever there was one. Anyhow, I'm off to nick a tinny off someone. Come on, if you can't steal drink in the festive season when can you?* Te ra, Martin ear confection recordings (http://www.send.demon.co.uk) * The writer would like to inform you that no beer was actually stolen or any criminal acts committed during the making of this email.

I've been saving money strictly for years in a sock, and I blew it all today in one frenzied spendind spree! I bought a spanking new JVC micro-system with very attractive wooden speakers, a Squire jazz bass and a drum machine! I already have a guitar, an amp and a 4-track, so now I'm ready to make beautiful music for the world to hear. Stuart Murdoch better watch his back! The drum machine is a bit complicated. Your timing needs to be spot on, otherwise when it quantizes your rhythm, it does it wrong and then sounds like a free-jazz drum solo. Ah well. No relevant content, but I had to share my joy. Yours, broke but happily well equipped, Mr. Gib. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Christmas was good. I got a video of Warriors, which has Ioan Gruffudd in it, who I am going to marry. I also got a scanner which won't bluddy work. BUt I got to wear a ballgown. My gran got very drunk, and ended up comatose in the hall with her skirt round her head. FUN! I had to pick her up. EVEN FUNNER! Her teeth fell out on me. GOD HOW MUCH FUN CAN I TAKE?!?! In case you didn't notice, there was a slight hint of sarcasm there. I was at a sleepover the other night (yeh yeh, again). This time I woke up with "sex", "sucky", "blow job" and various other obscenities written on me in purple glittery lipstick, which wouldn't come off, without the aid of a bluddy nailbrush. Ouch. Has anyone noticed that bloody looks so much nicer spelt bluddy? All these kids (well, about three really) came round from my friend's neighbours, and I played them "May God protect your home" by hefner, which was a very evil thing to do, because it's a bit rude. I hope they don't go and sing it to their parents. One of them liked it. I got a Smiths CD yesterday with my christmas money. It's dead good. and it has 24 tracks on it, which is a world record for big CD's as far as I'm concerned. Not that I am. BBC 2's doing a Gregory Peck season. Gregory Peck is sex on legs. I wonder if they'll show Hornblower. Why do I always fancy guys who've been in Hornblower? Gregory Peck's nice though. I was meant to be going to see the Amphetameanies with Jason, on Hogmanay, but it's 18+ so instead I'm going to my friend's house to have babycham drinking contests, and hopefully get to see her do drunken silly things. This time, I'll have a camera. :::evil laugh::: Christmas is a good time to be immature. I'm knitting a quilt. I was reading a story about cannibalism in the Sinister midight library, and it's really really good, and I was thinking about it all day today, but I've forgot who wrote it. Anyway props to them cos it's good. Wouldn't it be great of Belle and Sebastian did a hogmany gig? Though knowing my luck it would be 18+. I'd better go now because this post is long and crap and not very B&S-y.

I was just thinking about the word beaver today. My aunt owns a house on a street called Beaver and she would often ask me to mow the lawn there. We would have conversions like this. Aunt: Molly, can you cut Beaver today. Me: Um, I can't cut Beaver today. It's okay if I cut Beaver tomorrow? Aunt: Okay make sure you cut Beaver tomorrow cause it really needs it. and other such humourous exchanges regarding Beaver and its being mowed. I don't cut Beaver anymore. I hope those of you across the pond know the naughty definition of beaver. If you don't then this is quite boring. It's probably pretty boring anyway. Sorry, this is my first time, please be gentle. One more thing I wanted to say. I was just reading the New York Times on the web. I was reading the article about the stabbing of George Harrison. Something about it particularly intersested me. It is as follows: "Following standard British practice, the police would not release the name of the suspect or give details about the investigation. But they did say that the incident appeared far more "sinister" than a simple break-in." Mmmmm, okay well nothing to say about that. Thanks for sticking around and hope you have a beaverific New Year. Molly Due __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!

If Sister Disco is poking around for big,fat,juicy job offers...I want a piece of the pie as well.Lay it on the line for me...the job market in Scotland...show me the job offers in Scotland...don't tell me it's driving buses... I have been listening to the tapes my lovely tape fairy whom I love (and wish I could only repay in generosity and kindness) sends to me and I have a whole new favourite song...The Lonlieness Of The Middle Distance Runner.It's quite the windswept song isn't it? I mean MMMMM Stuart SING IT SING IT SING IT and that guitar solo..who is that? I was a Middle Distance Runner you know,well I was long distance..cross country.I think they are the same.I used to stuff peanut butter down my throat just before the race to give me energy.Stuart is a track and field star,did you know that? He had the little satin shorties and everything and he would ask to be driven to the track at 4 am every morning just so he could train.Hands gripping the desk...beads of sweat forming on those 1000 sinister brows at that image,I know. I've also discovered I like a lot of the same music as the members of B&S. I like Stuart David's contribtion..Tom Waits? Its just a crazy ass tune but its so cool.It's got this bizarre singing but it makes me feel connected to Stuart David and I dig my feet into the ground and go TRIBAL.The song Isobel chose was called "Little Green Apples" and when she spoke she sounded about 5 years old. 1...2...3...Awwww.Isnt it so cute? Oh INDEED.Sometimes I thinkIsobel is the 'Rose Is Rose' comic manifested. I am also a bit curious over the "sweets being thrown at me for encouragement" I think Isobel is a bit pervy. I also never realised what a sexy voice Sarah Martin has..really..she doesn't sound little..its got lovely scratchy factor and non-squeaky I mean I've heard her do little singy bits I guess..she should do some spoken stuff.I'd like to listen to her tell stories. I guess you'll all be drunk by this time tomorrow evening.Happy New Years,anyways.Me,I am hoping personally that when the clock strikes 12, POOF! We will all be wearing little silver space suits and walking robo dogs,just like how its supposed to be.If not..we can always go back to our roots.What are you thinking of? Do you have some lovely images? Me..I am thinking I am a lost girl,in a tattered dress.Searching..searching through the thick of the forest..I am thinking cold,arctic winds and bare feet...and caves...dark caves...but its ok..because Struan and co. are there.They caught on some driftwood.Struan has been gathering berries in his apron...little huts stitched together out of palm trees and little monkeys in hula skirts as our personal butlers. take care my pretties! christmas kisses...genevieve ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Hmmmm, and we have all those French Canadians that went about in canoes searching to trap as many beavers as possible..... In keeping with the pun theme, I once went out with someone who had a 3 year old son. He was right into Toy Story and had all the toys. Except, one day he lost his Woody doll and his grandmother announce that she was going to go out and get him a big woody! Okay, I guess everyone get List Mummy big woodies so that he will feel better soon. (I am running away really fast now......) Having become completey Y2K compliant by working overtime all last year, I can say that we have converted all the documents so that all the Ys have been changed to Ks. It makes reading them more difficult, but we have them all done. Something has just been brought to our attention and we are now concerned with the millenium bug affecting computers.

I'm not allowed to do that because I'm on that diet where you don't eat any carbohydrates. Don't worry, I saw it on THIS MORNING with Richard and Judy so it's all above board. Apparently you can eat as many sausages as you like so long as you don't eat any rice. Leya, or was it Sarah said: > I talked to someone who used to be in > Menswe at r...hehe...but thats a secret! :) I saw the best looking rember of menswear in Carnaby street once, he looked a bit scruffy. I heard the drummer was working in Shelleys on Oxford street until he had a strop at an Italian man who wanted some snakeskin loafers and promtly got sacked. Look kids, Jeepster chat is evil. Everyone knows the cool cats hang out in IRC's original. >And the other night I 'met' Erica at the Jeepster site. She offered to write some words for this song, Dammit! foiled. Dear god, if people are turning to me for songwriting advice, something must have gone very, very wrong somewhere. Last week, I was in some silly bar in Soho, and Nigel Kennedy showed me where the toilet was. I almost expected Jeremy Beadle to jump out of the shadows, complete with clipboard and mack and shout "ha HA!". Sarah said: >Leyla is practically a full foot taller than me, we do often dress the same, Me and my much-noted friend Hannah Doll have quite the height difference as anyone who came to the poetry cafe in the summer will vouch, too. She is a wee and delicate thing, and I am a bit tall and clumsy (but watch me *dance*). We both have vintage sweaters with hoods on with different american football teams advertised on the front. Hers is clearly too big for her, it being made for a big American football type playing man, and mine is for a child aged 7/8 years old ("the label on her jeans...") and is obviously a bit small for me. We do look a pair. Okay, big up to all the frankly WONDERFUL people who have sent pictures to me for the new Sinister 'Your Slip Is Showing' Gallery. I have them all printed out and stuck on my wall with blu-tak next to my other pin-ups as a tempory measure before we get the real thing put up. I await a few more entries with baited breath. Please remember my electronic mail is steam-powered and has a bit of a tiz at anything which isn't in jpg format. Wow, Ailsa is getting married. Do we all get an invite to the ceremony?

So I'm afraid you're stuck with me, at least once a week. The aforementioned Trembling Blue Stars/the clientele/Fosca gig really is worthy of praise, though will doubtless be slagged off in this Week's Melody Maker. I can't remember the name of the journalist I spoke to, but he was clearly a big fat moke. Telling me I need a rockstar boyfriend indeed. Does anyone else find that they're unable to actually watch bands anymore? I've got the most distressing habit - I can't stand watching a band without wanting to run around talking to people. I can't read books, ethier - all I can do is saunter around the internet from one click to the next. One day my legs will turn to jelly, and then I'll be sorry. Try wearing your kitten heels then, I hear you cry. Jenny said she punched a nasty boy. I punched an ex-boyfriend in the face once, I don't think I quite burst his nose but he did cry. I really don't have the destructive instinct of GI JOE, but something just saw MEAN RED, and there he was, on the floor. Unlike Jenny, everyone didn't think I was hard, they just thought he was soft, which was probably equally as satisfying. Welcome home, Jygsaw Dave. I've only read the book of 'Breakfast At Tiffany's' and not seen the film, too. Jennifer Love Hewitt cannot play Audrey Hepburn in an upcoming biopic, that would unthinkable. I know a man, he's got a fair price... News just in - I'm going to All Tommorows Parties. I'm so excited, I can't wait to stand on the seafront.

Despite the frankly scary bouncing cars/bottoms in the video, it struck me that "Still.....having barbeques every day" - "Still....driving fancy cars" sounds more like something my dad would boast about rather than gangster rapper. It's All Tommorows Parties this weekend and I'm quite excited despite the fact that it's raining all the time. Nick I promise not to flash my knickers and make scenes in teashops shouting "hot willy action" a la 'Wish you were here', but I fully reserve the right to shout 'Up your bum!' as she did. What a brilliant film that was. Espcially the bit at the end where she's all dressed in yellow with a big huge pram. "It's mine, aaall mine". It made my mum furrow her brow quite a few times. I've got an umbrella that could give the millenium dome a run for it's money. I saw the millenium dome from the docklands light-speed railway the other day, it doesn't look that big, but that's perspective for you. I went to Greenwich and bought a brilliant dress. If you're ever there, The Obsertory is *the* place to go for frocks. Make sure you don't get carried away, though, I had to be stopped from buying an op-art print dress that made me look like a box by force. Talking of ATP, it's not like I know of any of the bands or anything, so if anyone has suggestions/ones to avoid, I'd be delighted to recieve your advice. Can we have a quick hands up who is going to AnTiciPate this thursday at the betsy? I think I've said enough.

Football. Was I even watching? No, I was eating a sausage sandwich with the kids and telling people the Venga boys were playing the swimming pool in the evening to rescue us from this drone-rock hell-hole. But well done anyway boys, I was there for congrats and to meet Stuart Murdoch, who was ever-so polite even though he had blood all over his hands from his gushing leg. 2. Bitching. I think they put something in the water, because even the most lovely of the party were finding fault in just about anyone. Good fun, mind you. Except if you're pointing out that I have big feet or a scary face, which isn't one bit funny, espcially at 5am. 3. Glamour. I wore my sunglasses on the top of my head all weekend. Which was nice. At some points they actually came over my eyes, but being short-sighted at the best of times, they didn't stay there long. I think I might have mildly insulted the Mister-cool singer from 'You will be known by the trail of the dead' by insisting he couldn't see anything out of his and why didn't he wear his on his head like me? Maybe you're allowed to wear sunglasses indoors if you're a popstar. My diamonte hairslide also became the look du jour for one Stevie Trousers, who should be a popstar. 4. Getting married in Mini Vegas. Yes I'm still wearing my ring-ding a ling. Bowling with new found friends and getting a STRIKE. Paddling in the sea. Singing in the same room as some man from the Boo Radleys with a guitar and replying 'yes I know' to the statement 'ooh, you can sing'. Hand glued to forehead in embarassment. 5. Fainting in the High Lammas. No, it wasn't an avant garde dance move, that was me collapsing. The perfect excuse to not bother seeing any other bands for the entire weekend. This sad, Stereolab were dazzlingly good. But the boy who followed me around for fifteen minutes trying to persuade me to play strip poker in his chalet was not good at all. Honestly, I was on the verge of throwing up my hands and shouting 'shoo!'. If only I could dismiss the boys just like Shania Twain in her 'don't impress me much video'. The confusing thing about that video is that the lyrics don't correspond one bit. For example: "So what do you think you're elvis or something' - cue Arab on big black horse. Was Elvis ever an arab in one of his films? 6. Saying 'hey, that's my face!' to people reading papercuts, and 'hey, those are my boys' to people looking at the 5-aside results. 7. The boy on the train on the way home with a nosebleed. We've been reading the Beaux stratergem at school and we'd all scoffed at the idea that Archer could attract a lady to his gallant ways by having a nose bleed in church, but really, it worked for me. Poor lamb. I think it might have helped that he looked like one of the new Red-haired Gucci models.

Time for a Cup of Tea, Chaps. Message-ID: <007f01bf467d$26d65420$cd5f073e@com> Attention! I havent written in a while. Thing is, I caught my own Pussy-cat bow (yes that's pussy CAT Lucy, not just pussy!) round the door handle on my way out a couple of weeks ago and was stuck there until a couple of days ago when a kind young man heard my stifled yelps and helped me to untangle myself. You're supposed to call people who stumble on their noveux long scarves a 'Duncan'. 5 points who knows why. I really fancy Martin Kemp. He's got this twinkle in his eye, and I think he's the sort of sharp that might slip you unmarked notes and tell you to buy yourself something pretty. I'd like that. Ooh, guess what, I just WON tickets to that Belle and Sebastian Question and Answer thing, so, if anyones got any super-rude questions you want me to poke in their directions, you know where to put them. My mailbox, that is. I agree with the whole not-talking-about-the-album-yet idea. I got a copy via my Uncle Donny who is in the Secret Service, and I didn't know whether to even listen to it or not, at first.......but then it was on at our chalet party at ATP and if just felt right. But I'm not trying to tease you, honestly. My doll Hannah always waits until things are released because she thinks it's more exciting that way and I bet it is. Why don't we all gossip about other things instead. Apparently the family over the road from me have misplaced their cat, and there's a note in the window of the Sweet shop which I work in telling of a local 'Sick fiend' who is cutting the heads off people's pets. Personally, I think it's my employer Meanie MOY mincing them up (with her teeth, no less) and putting them in the begian chocolates. I only eat rapped things tested by one of the Paperboys, just to be safe. Jenowl, you know when I was driving that car in your dream? What kind of car was it?

So that means you'll have to listen to lots of lovely bang-clash-indie-dross and 'intelligent' hip hop for two hours in the hope of catching five minutes of crackled mumbling. Probably. Also, you might have heard, but Legal Man is Mark and Lard's single of the week so they will be playing it every day on their show. Mummy even says it's been put on the Radio One play list good and proper, so you can all break out in cold sweats now in anticipation of five year olds/the record buying public (damn them!) buying the product of your beloved. Heaven forbid they should make some money! I quite like the idea of a sinister uniform, but I'll have no mention of T-shirts, it's got to be straighten-up smart, with gold buttons and lapels. What will we do in our uniforms? Storm the city, with military like precision, and bring the system to it's knees? That would be good. But we must make sure we don't just throw a few chairs around in Macdonald's like those other chaps. The new Black Box Recorder Album is very precious. It's just so clever, so pretty...and so horrible. I keep having a dream that I'm dancing with Luke Haines in a Ballroom on the end of a pier, it's really quiet apart from the floating sound of an old fashioned piano banging out a waltz. I think if you like the way that Struan sings dirty words in a soft voice, you'll like The Facts of Life. I recommend.

There is one small problem - the burden of trying to devise an outfit which is suitable for both day AND evening wear. But otherwise, yes! very exciting. I say this every year and no one ever asks, but other than Martin's find-a-stray picnic-er stratergy, I'd be quite willing to meet scaredy-cats at the station and show them the way. I've got quite used this 'showing people around' idea, as I'm called upon by Hertford Council every so often to do my 'Civic' (duty, that is) and say hello and goodbye to people coming in and out of the Castle. Thrilling. It's good experience for dealing with old ladies, however, which is good, if, like me, you spend long stretches of time rifiling around their clothes. I have a theory that it's because I wear clothes from Hertford's charity shops that old ladies favour me so much. It's quite likely, considering Hertford's old biddy to boy racer ratio than I'm wearing the clothes of a dead friend of theirs. Their mind, quietly withering, notes the dress and feels familiarity. Or maybe I am really just a Nice Young Lady. > I keep trying to get more girls to play, but none ever do, much to my > disappointment. However, I have been promised a game on the girls side, I played football at a picnic once. I even persuaded Lixi to come and play with me. And do you know what we did? We ran away from the ball flapping our hands around. Not the best example. Learning from my mistakes, I tend to jeer/leer from the sidelines these days. > welcomed by me, although I'm not sure when I got >promoted to the status of male Erica in terms of good->lookingness. Ally, are you sure that's such a good thing? You know if you're the male-me people will call on you to give out kisses willy nilly (Casarotten, NO!) and generally assume you're a bit of an air-head. I hear that's the current insult du jour, anyway. It's all my fault, of course. I mean, fancy dressing up in nice clothes and having a silly accent like mine. Madison Avenue are at number one!

I thought Julie B was rather on-point there actually. Don't get me wrong, I think she get's too caught up in hating everyone too much of the time, but this time she's not suggesting burning beautiful things at the stake (with the obligitory "he's a list of good-looking women I *do* like" tagged on the end) She's not saying you can't enjoy it, she's saying don't try to understand it, don't pick it apart and poke at it. Adults are not going to have the same emotion, the same love about pop music as young people will. Though Tim from Baxendale does a pretty convincing impression of being the eternal popkid, we know that in real life, he does go home and listens to Momus and Hefner and the Boards of Canada, as well as Geri Halliwell and Oxide and Neutrino whilst penning songs about his failed love affairs. Yes - he's a charmingly hapless romeo. This isn't Craig David material. Yes I am a stuck record. Shut up! I don't think you can turn around as a weathered, rent-paying adult, who has seen all the mess and dirt which comes with the teritory of growing up and moving out - I don't think you can then generate quite the same level of fantasy and excitement a 13 year old girl would over the verse chorus verse verse chorus. Didn't you find, when Alistair first wrote about Baxendale on Tangents, it was with a sense of sadness? and he put it down to age and the fact that he couldn't really loose himself in the whole thing anymore. He called it "lack of ability to suspend belief", probably because he's a writer and he's got to make it sound more fancy. Most of my pop dreams were over by the end of Primary School - my friends all decided they liked Nivarana and Guns and Roses because their sweaty sisters did, so it was byebye TakeThat wristbands, Hello Skull Bandana. I am back to liking commercial Pop again after a fairly long stray into the wilderness. There's a list of my favourite songs of the year here: http://members.boardhost.com/natureshated/msg/4173.html Right, I'm going to go and rub my thighs furiously in a Vic Reeves style in front of a picture of Jude Law.
