ELISABETH Elisabeth is on her way to Toronto so give her a big 'welcome' and come out to Rancho on Friday. So far it's Elisabeth, me, and her sis Rebecca. Jessica can't come because she's moving. Don't forget!! Show your happy little faces and we'll dance to some Northern Soul under the light of tacky faux Mexican lanterns. GLAMOURISH Oooh bad word...ick. Anyway, I got my hair done this evening. It's short but sticks out everywhere...hmmm. I was asked to be a hair model for their show but only cuz my hair is normally dull. I'll get a free tint out of it though :) Red please. Oh, and I was on television too. As I was walking to the subway, I walked by MuchMusic (Can. MTV) and was 'caught on tape' as part of this 'I Mother Earth' ticket giveaway deal. I just smirked and kept eating my pad thai. Bad band...not embarrassed though. B&S Not much except that I kept mind-mumbling 'Electronic Renaissance' Of course that's what Stuart does too.

Message-ID: <19990901101348.HM.00000000001YMvy@mixmail.com> Hello again, wonderful kids !! Back at home from my holidays, with two exams before me, but it doesn�t matter now. As you�ll have noticed, my subject line is taken from a Ninotchka song. Doesn�t anyone know more releases from them, besides the 7" that Elefant released here ? "I`ve got wings" is helping me to handle my boring life, and "Green dream (Good night Scott Walker)" is also a won derful song. I�d love to know if Grimsey Records released some Cd of them... The first thing that I know after my holidays is that the new album will be released in january, according to nme.com. But It�s more surprising the idea of B&S doing some kind of homage to "All you need is love". Does anyone know at l east some of the people that helped to record those song ? There�s also new pictures at the sinister page, something that remind me to scan the one that I have with Arantxa, Robin and Olga. Maybe it�s a bit late, but i�ll send it as soon to you, Nottingham people. On the second weekend of august I went to the Benicassim festival near here, and it was nice to see some B&S shirts amongst the crowd. One of them (study at Stow) belonged to Mireia, a sinisterite who I think that is still quiet in this community. Another one (a sinister one) belon ged to a basque guy with the bald head (Mr.Mill er, do you know him ?), and another one to Jesus Llorente (Well, I think it was him), the boss of the lovely Acuarela records, the label of Migala. The best bits of the festival were the gigs from Cinerama (David Gedge and Sally signed my copy of the 7" that Elefant records released recently), The Delgados, Jon Spencer and HEFN ER !! Darren is a star, absolutely. They made a competition between them to find out who makes the best rock poses, and the bass player won. The lowest points were the cancellation of the Manics and the apathetic gig from Blur. I know that only a few people will know what Im talking about, but the lovely spanish band El Ni�o Gusano (The worm boy) have split up. Besides the spanish guys, didn�t anyone knew them ? they were quite similar to Gorky�s Zigotic Mynci (and good friends also). Maybe someone answered it before, but Luna also covered "Everybody�s talking" at their live shows, and it was also released in a compilation that their record company released in Spain. An important question: I know it�s quite early, but are there any plans of having another Bowlie in April ? I�m planning to go to London, and I�d like to know if there is the chance of having another fabulous weekend like the one that I spent there. I think that there�s nothing left to say. Antje, your tape will be out in two or three days, just when i�ll have finished my firsti exams. ===================================== ============= Jordiet Sinistre ================================================== Tu E-Mail Gratis en http://www.mixmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

The sight of a sufferinng elephant is terrible indeed. In the paper they said he'd stood on a mine in Burma or somewhere like that, but on the telly they said he'd stood on a mine in Thailand, which is apparently full of mines. I didn't know that. Is it true? Only one person has the answer... Pop news: I'm having a bit of a crisis of faith....pop faith. I've had enough, it's all rubbish. I want sounds to soothe my soul without resorting to tweeness or whining. The other day I watched a documentary about Mister Borges. I couldn't understand a word he was saying to be quite honest. One of the interviews was filmed in an airport in the days when air hostesses dressed like that (you know what I mean) and you could hear all the anouncements. It was unspeakably groovy. The reason I mention this is the music, lovely lovely music from Mr Astor Piazzola or something. Up until then I had always thought that the tango was an event on Bruce Forsyth's Generation Game, and nothing more. Not so. I've had a look for Astor's records, but I could only find two, one with a very hairy and very flarey Gerry Mulligan and one with the Kronos Quartet that only lasts 26 minutes. This is a cry in the wilderness for information. Yes, Trousers, Roger Daltrey did star in a film with Chesney Hawkes, the unforgettable "Buddy's Song", the big screen continuation of the even more unforgettable "Buddy", one of the few schools programmes to get a showing on normal people's telly. Roger played a demented teddy boy unable to bring his son up properly. They were on Saturday Superstar together to promote it. I can remember it worryingly well. Worrying because at that point I hadn't decided to be a Roger Daltrey fan. Like most listees, I've been tirelessly scouring the world's literary heritage in search of the words "sleep the clock around". This is the closest I've come: "We found the Colonel and reported the death, feeling more like murderers than ever. Then we went to bed and slept the clock round, for there was no more in us." That was from "Thrown Away", a Plain Tale From the Hills by the king of the swingers, the jungle VIP himself, Rudyard Kipling. He gets a lot of bad press, does Rudyard Kipling, but anyone who can invent Baloo the Bear is all right by me. Get with the beat, Baggy! "Florida Fantasy" or "Miami Fantasy" or whatever it's called is much better than "Everybody's Talkin'". The book of Midnight Cowboy is really rude. So is the film really. Fluffy wrote: So why aren't the US picnics held up Capitol Hill? You could munch your sandwiches and indulge yourself in witty banter and have a good old kickabout and the like, AND THEN BURN THE CAPITALIST CONGRESS FUCKERS TO THE GROUND and declare a national state of emergency and WE, comrades, will raise the red flag and declare The Sinister Nation!! I don't agree with what you said, but I like how you said it. I miss Duke. Has anyone heard the new Kevin Rowland single? I haven't, but I've seen the advert. Has he kept the faith, or is it a load of shit? Isn't Capitol Hill where Forrest Gump has a paddle?

I suppose now is a suitable time to say: I'm going to have to move the archives and photos, and they're going to suffer as a result I'm afraid. I kept this from you a week ago as I didn't want to ruin your birthday (you're only 2) but here's what is likely to happen: 1. They'll be much slower to respond to new messages 2. They'll be in "reverse" order, newest messages at the top 3. The searching isn't going to be what it used to be: it will only be able to search for words, not phrases, etc. This is all very regrettable, to me more than any of you I can assure you as I spent oodles of time trying to make the archives as fast and flexible as they could be, and a lot of it's having to be chucked in the bin. So please don't give me a hard time over it, as I'm liable to give one of those little growls you hear bears with migraines give from the back of caves. I've been working "really quite" hard over the last week to do the best I can with a kind and noble body who will host the new archive for us, to the extent of patching their software for them to improve things a bit for you all. They provide a dead good service, for free, for the love of it, so we don't have to suffer any smarmy adverts, but they do it for thousands of lists so it has to stay manageable, thus the entirely honourable compromises. I haven't found a new home for the photos yet. Offers of oodles of WWW space are kind, but don't really solve the problem: the procedures to produce all this Sinister gumph required "shell access" to an external account that hosts the WWW pages, and I don't have that anywhere that I can host. Shell access because after a while of running this, you have to automate everything to even half keep up (and I only half keep up). If you don't know what shell access means, don't worry, but if you do happen to run an ISP, and can offer me Unix shell access to a WWW account with 200+MB of space and a hot net connection, and are happy to install system software on my behalf, and can guarantee I can keep this space indefinitely, and with complete independence, it might make me break out in a smile. If you could arrange for me to go on a cruise once a year that'd be nice as well. Yes, I know this is asking a lot so don't offer if you're at all unsure. :) Also if anyone knows of the best place on the web which can offer me 100's of MB of space, with no adverts, and most importantly where I can FTP into from *any* net connection, I'd be obliged. I've tried all the UK free ones and they're mean and stingy because they don't really care about Da Kidz and only allow ftp's from their own dialups. hosts.deny be damned. I do hate adverts so, it's just a foible of mine, because any service that's supported by advertising always end up to be crap. I could bore you all to tears ranting about how the Net should be for free, how it should be about people creating little worlds for themselves without trying to sell them anything through the back door, how it was and still can be, and why it all Actually Matters, but I'm going to stick a handkerchief in my mouth. If anyone has the slightest interest in such things, go and read the most eloquent rant from the heart on the subject I've ever read, from someone who really really cares, at: http://www.deja.com/=dnc/getdoc.xp?AN=339458840 My eyes actually did prickle a little bit.

Es Juanita Message-ID: <710AD5AF4EE3D111945C00805F0D0E228D72A8@server1.HITEntertainment.com> I am way late cos I've been on me hols, but perusing the last 9 sinister digests, here is my 16 shillings, 11 pence and a farthing's'th on just what the HECK has been going on. Stevie Jackson would be a Chomp. Stuey M would be a finger of fudge. Sister Disco would be a king-size yorkie with extra spunk. After Chris's Ailsa Drive revelation (and revelations is what he's toppermost at. Keep up your revelations, Chris!), Vicky and I actually saw the famous Ailsa Craig on our tour of Scotland. And the famous Ailsa too, which was obviously a highlight. Nickb wrote, and props to him for it, "What're you into? What do you look like? Do you say cool/clever/ironic/flippant things? Do you have a piercing? What colour's your hair? Are you making ENOUGH OF A STATEMENT." Hmm. In order: Not a lot, pasty and bald, bloody hell I try, no, what hair, and if I had a clue how to make a statement, well, I probably wouldn't because I am too lazy and stupid. I know various people here or hereabouts think that self-indulgent self-deprecation is a BAD thing, but some people need outlets for these things, and as long as they give positive things to the list too (I don't mean relentlessly happy shit, but stuff that's worthwhile. Edgar Allen Poe. Not exactly cheery, but when he was on the list it used to KICK ASS), then let 'em moan... Didn't Martin Connelly used to be called Martin Conneely? It always used to unbalance my sense of rightness about things, and make me feel slightly disjointed. A bit like this letter, then. Since unreleased B&S stuff is currently a vogue topic, could we abuse the list to try and get Mr Murdoch to release the unbelievably gorgeous Rhoda? Despite being unable to make out anything beyond the vaguest of tunes, its seductive folkiness gets me wet, frankly, and I'd kill to have a copy that's listenable. I love it very much, and no matter what anyone says about the pre-B&S stuff and how Stuey won't touch any of it with a bargepole, it NEEDS to be heard by the masses. Greatest Hits albums - are they a Bad Thing? I think they are. Because I have that Nick Drake compilation, I *still* haven't bought any of the other albums. Starry's home made Freedesign collection has made me uncertain about paying lots of cash to get the less good stuff. But on the other hand, I wouldn't own rekkids by Donovan, Patsy Cline, Abba, The Fieldmice, Snow Patrol (only joking, ho ho) and prob'ly loads more if it hadn't been for the promise of all the good stuff without any filler. I can't get my head round it... Nick Dastoor wrote. Isn't that enough, you greedy sods? Right. 4 digests still to read, and I haven't even really mentioned what we did in Scotland. You'll just have to wait, you young scamps.

For those of you who joined the list post-Duke, and who have not trawled the archives seeking all of his words of wisdom, it's probably enough to know that The Duke used to spend all his posting time making ridiculous comments about Pop music (and always with a capital P, except of course when he talked about pop such as, oh, I dunno, Boyzone, although even they might be Pop to someone else) which, as the preceding parenthesis has just proved, got very tiresome indeed. Not many people paid attention, but PJ was one of the sad sub-species of Sinister who did. He even used to respond to things the Duke wrote, which was always amusing. But the Duke is no more, which is probably just as well, because he certainly wouldn't have approved of me listening to Denim On Ice and thinking that actually it is rather a fine record, and not the embarrassing pile of tripe that the Duke once said it was. He obviously had cloth ears. Perhaps he was just a big stuffed toy, much like the mythic Bagpuss. I digress... Denim on Ice. Where else can you hear the lyrics: 'you suck me off but I can't come in your mouth.' With a great funky bass noise and weirdo blips drifting about. Ah, how I would dearly love to hear B&S cover Brumburger. Or Glue and Smack. Or Jane Suck Died in '77. And hands up how many of you knew that Lawrence's favourite group of all time is the Sex Pistols? See, Lydon to Murdoch in two easy steps, and they said it couldn't be done! Actually I made that up. Obviously. What is the Kevin Rowland single? I don't look at press things, so I have seen no advert. I have, however, listened to a blast of Kev's version of, oh what's that Whitney Houston song? YOU know the one... yes, that one. It was fantastic. Seriously... utterly brilliant, despite some of Kev's trademark spoken word mutterings at the start where he witters on about 'the children' being important or something, and of course quite clearly the 'kids' are all annoying noisy wee twats who should be culled at age five at the very latest, with only those who can appreciate Lester Young recordings being allowed to live. Would certainly solve the global population problems. But yes... Kev Rowland. What a star. Despite himself. Does anyone old and dreary like myself remember the group Care? I only ask because I did remember them and was terribly excited to find their single 'Flaming Swords' for 25p at the weekend. I hadn't heard it in years... something like 16 years in fact, and I was delighted to discover that it sounded as good as I remembered. Better even. Imagine my horror then to see that the songwriting credits involve one Ian Broudie. Sheesh. Oh well, we're all allowed to grow up to become soccer-song writing buffoons if we really so wish. I suppose... although going back to the culling idea, perhaps we could have an ongoing cull test, and anyone writing songs about soccer could be immediately sent to the firing squads. I'm dead serious about this you know. Soccer, scourge of the globe. Who invented the stupid thing anyway? I bet it was the Scottish, they invent all the dumbest things. Like television. Not Television mind, just television. Ahem. I am now listening the fabulous Meters collection recording. The Duke might just about have approved of this one, although he might have said it was a bit 'funky' for his tastes. He really was a buffoon, wasn't he? I think that's all. Thank you for reading.

This is the first time I've sent to this list. I just got the wee mail thing that says "you have a voice." Headings is it? USUAL "HOW I GOT INTO...." STORY I got into Belle and Sebastian two years ago when I bought "Sinister" out of curiosity in a second hand shop for 7 pounds 99. Bargain or what? Since then I have praised and played the album to an estimated family/friends/innocent bystanders audience of many thousands. Total converts to date = 6. This meagre total can only be due to my poor sales technique and not B and S's musical ability. LECTUREZZZZZZZZZZZ Lauren wrote: "i dont know how i am going to stand 3 hour classes of some guy lecturing. anyone have any ideas on how to pass the time? ( i mean besides actually paying attention)" Time-killing activity can depend on the size of your class. If there's only a few people in your class you'll probably be limited to a quick peek at your mail from that morning or maybe if you're lucky a whispered chat with friends. In bigger classes you will be able to read a tabloid paper in full, have a quick snooze or with the subtle use of a scarf you can get away with listening to a walkman. When I were a lad, classes were so big that I could regularly do my ironing, have a quick game of cards and then play a game of football (11-a-side) at any chosen lecture. Had to sit right up the back though. University funding has dropped since then and subsequently class sizes should be bigger, so now you could probably hold a small rock festival and the swots at the front wouldn't notice. But maybe not. FASHION I was out last saturday night and I saw a bloke wearing pedal-pushers. Alright, so this is unusual in Glasgow but surely it makes a mockery of the "Are Glaswegians mental and hard?" discussion that filled these pages a few weeks back. Admittedly, this guy was a day-tripper from Central Scotland and not a native. But still - not a broken glass or flying fist in sight to greet the boy. IT COULD'VE BEEN A BRILLIANT CAREER Ailsa Ross mentioned (a week ago) that she had a mental hospital named after her. I used to play football there for a local boys club as an innocent ten/eleven-year-old. Yes, by a cruel twist of fate our home ground was a playing field right next to the Ailsa Hospital. Obviously, I hold this piece of poor council planning directly responsible for my failure to make the grade as a pro. Nothing puts a budding soccer legend off his game like the sight of a dozen nutters milling around at the side of the pitch. My form away from home was sensational, by the way. RANDOM UNRELATED QUESTIONS PART Can anyone tell me the following.............. Are there any meet ups or pub crawl type things happening in Scotland anywhere soon? Why do you never see anyone in Glasgow wearing a Belle and Sebastian t-shirt? I just go to the wrong places, do I? (I know this may sound like a bizarre question but) does anyone know what school Stuart Murdoch went to? Also, I assume that the "Juicy Lucy" who sent to this list is not the same Juicy Lucy who works at a certain sea-front club in Blackpool?

Message-ID: <19990901234435.14006.qmail@hotmail.com> I'm with you Fluffy. My fave holiday is July 4th, because it allows us time to pause and rethink the rude behaviour of our forefathers. Is Sinister Nation a communist one? Maybe you can draw on the rise in communist membership in America. Regarding the Glasgow bloke wearing the pedal pushers, that's sorta becoming popular in and around DC -- even in an all American store like Abercrombie and Fitch. They have these cargo parachute pants with the 'optional pedal pusher' buttons...oh for fucks sake, I broke down and bought them...shite pints...... Speaking of Abercrombie and Fitch, has anyone heard that song with the lyrics 'I like Abercrombie and Fitch, Chinese food makes me sick'. There's probably a misheard B&S lyric in there somewhere. Bought the new Basement Jaxx album, it's not bad. Also bought the (I think) new Theivery Corporation 'DJ Kicks', very nice, world beat chill vibe to it. Also bought Mogwai's 'Ten Rapid'. Wow! Can't wait to see them live. How's Moby live, I'm going to see him in a couple of weeks. I converted a friend of mine who is the stereo typical 'frat boy' wearing the button down flannels, it's funny watching him sing 'Wey Hey' Has anyone been keeping track of the whole Russian money laundering bit?

Message-ID: <3.0.6.32.19990902005650.00816a00@mail.netkonect.co.uk> dearest all. well, i'm finally back in england and back to my beloved cd player [no b&s for an entire week] and sinister digest, which i have been reading with a contented smile on my face. i've had a strange bank holiday weekend. it started with getting back from france at about 12.30am on the friday [or should that be saturday], and then getting 5 hours sleep before heading off to reading the next day. but my head did not hit the pillow before i had rung up phillip, my "dying" [his words, not mine - he had a cough] boyfriend. said boyfriend was very pissed and somewhere in witney, and had decided to go to reading after all [while pissed], despite his rule of not going to festivals unless he's playing at them. so the first half of the festival was taken up by my search for mr honey [that is his real surname], who i eventually found glued to the bar [i should have known] during pavement. he was wearing a very fetching purple dress and a cowboy hat. it was a bit strange, as i'd never seen him in a dress before - but he actually looked quite good. his legs are surprisingly alright for a man. but he soon changed his clothes, after cassie and i shouted, "no, you cannot sit crosslegged in a dress you fool " at himfor a while. i have to mention at this point that he asked me to phone him on sunday to tell him what time i was coming round. it's important later on.. i got dragged to see les rythmes digitales, who i actually liked a lot, so i did twee indie dancing in the middle of the dance tent. that was fun. six by seven were also interesting. but then paul and cassie went back to the tent to get pissed on vodka, leaving me with phillip. who was in a bad mood. and complained for the next hour about everything. and i mean everything. about the fact that there was nowhere to sit, about the fact that pot noodles had been specially designed so that he couldn't eat them, about the fact that there were too many people.......we ended up walking along w/ him shouting "i hate fucking festivals!" at every available opportunity. which was pleasant. then cassie and paul came back, suitably pissed to dive into the idlewild moshpit and scare all the fifteen year olds by being, well, us. phill refused to come into the tent, and i kept looking back to check he was still there. but then i looked back and he wasn't there anymore. so i go and watch a bit of blur, and a bit of all seeing i with phil oakley, and then i go home and fall asleep. next day, i ring phillip as we had arranged, only there's no answer. so i ring again. and again. and again. then it gets to about the twentieth time i've tried, and thee's still no answer. by this time i'm seriously distressed, and james comes over to console me. he then rings, and gets a nasty text message on his mobile from phill saying he's not answering the phone kos he can't be arsed 2 talk 2 anyone, and haven't you worked that out yet? very nice. since then, i have not spoken to my 'boyfriend'. apparently, he doesn't want to speak to me. although he is now speaking to everyone else. so i am slightly confused. i have also discovered 'kiss off' by violent femmes, and have been playing it all day as it suits my mood perfectly. any words of advice would be appreciated. * but yes, that was an interesting weekend. tomorrow night i intend on getting highly pissed. bring on the vodka. for the b&s content, i have the excuse that mr honey's band is named stars of track and field. but they don't sound much like our beloveds. oh, and i'm wearing my 'study at stow' t-shirt as i write this.....does that count? anyway, must be off to make a sandwich and go and listen to that song one more time. au revoir *bug* * although please don't tell me to dump him. i'm not going to. if i must, i shall wait and be dumped. it's good material i suppose. ___________________________________________ ***the tiny zine on the net*** http://ds.dial.pipex.com/sage/tartrazine ***and the best band in oxford*** http://www.sage.dial.pipex.com/moonkat/ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

That's not true. But Jordi...There is a Ninotchka song on the somewhat recently released Head In the Clouds CD compilation on Dreamy. It's only a minute and a half long but its a nice one and a half minutes. The rest the cd is amazing, especially the wonderful Arco and Graham and Farina and Jacques featuring Kirk Lake and on and on. Recommended to one and all, no matter if you think Boyzone is POP or Abba-Cromwell and Finchley or whatever. For me personally its this girl in this band named Len, who sings something about 'you can steal my sunshine' I just think she's just the cutest. In my dreams she is from Jersey or Virginia Beach or something and she doesn't hang out with snowboarders but is obsessed with boys who watch baseball and listen to the Pale Fountains.(For the record the above mentioned CD compilation sounds nothing like I've just described.) And another thing. Why does it take my sister calling from California to tell me that Richard Colburn is to appear at the Knitting Factory with some band or another during CMJ in New York City? Has Sinister been kicked off the Jeepster mailing list? I wanted my return to Sinister to be special... I'm afraid its nothing of the sort. Oh yeah...nevermind, I'll save it for next time.

Message-ID: "I know the word to describe that man," exclaimed Mrs. Stornway, who had just learned it and used it more often than the occasion warranted. "He's sinister!" Since no one else has taken it upon themselves to comment upon the meeting of the worlds in an East Village cafe in New York City Saturday evening, I feel it is my duty. The meet up was designed in honor of Londonder Martin Robinson visiting, but he never ended up visiting _us_. About half of the turnout wasn't even on the list, but that sort of thing has never made much difference. The street outside the cafe became particularly interesting as Michele and Megan took the longest cigarette break in history there, save for perhaps Serge Gainsbourg's life which is possibly the longest cigarette break. In France at least. In America, the pace of life is so fast that even long cigarette breaks are shorter. Hard cider was the drink of choice amongst the crew, until a shortage in the supply caused me to switch to Guiness and toast. "A Century of Fakers" began playing in the cafe, but no one would own up to requesting it. A coincidence, but the unplanned kind. And then everything began to feel rather right in the world, if for that night only. The badges are upside down for a reason.

To Lauren and her college town gas station guy dilemma--Don't go out with a random guy from the gas station. I mean he could be perfectly nice, just working at the gas station to put himself through college, but on the other hand he could be some sketchy guy trying to score with a college girl. I hate to succumb to the prejudice of the social structure but every guy I've ever met that works at a gas station is either shady or downright rotten. Especially since this guy is calling every half hour I have a tendency to say he's more of the shady kind. This guy sounds a little bit too eager, almost like he's obsessed already. Please for your sake don't go out with some random guy from the gas station until you know him a little better. I know it must feel a little thrilling at the randomness of some guy asking you out, out of nowhere but take it easy, you just got to college (I'm assuming this is your first year since you said "I started college") you have time to meet really nice people and make really good friends that you can trust, people you will come to love and couldn't live without. Take it slow, you don't have to say yes to the first gas station attendant that asks you out. You will find your ownself and know what's right. College Radio Stations They are the best. They play underground music and are hosted by people that play the music they love, not the overplayed Top 40 the general population wants them to play. I heard B & S on WMUC 88.1 the college station down here in College Park, Maryland the other day and I was ecstatic to say the least.

Message-ID: <000201bef527$0e791ae0$f839ac3e@stout> Hello. I had a dream last night, a premonition. I dreamt that I was given the new B+S album and it had thirty tracks, about eight or nine by Stuart M and the rest by Richard. Somehow I doubt the accuracy of this premonition. I was given the new album when I went to Stuart's house and was given biscuits and a cup of tea by his mum who told him to tidy up the mess he'd left under the stairs. Always mixing with rock stars, me. We haven't heard from Mrs Murdoch recently have we? I remember how she used to tell us about Stuart's pants and how he had a pair with Stephen Pastel on them which were his special pair. Thanks to all the people who offered me a ticket for Fopstock #2. I'm getting one from Amos, the boy with the vertical smile, and am almost pooing my pants with excitement. Maybe Stuart will lend me a spare pair. I was going to say something about the Duke but I'm a bit wary of starting a list argument. All I'll say is he sent me a tape once, and he forces schoolchildren to listen to Belle and Sebastian so he can't be too bad. Mark was talking about getting Stuart to release Rhoda. I've never heard Rhoda but I think Pocketbook Angel is splendid and would sound even better with a proper release. Nick's said a couple of times how he likes Hurley's Having Dreams so maybe we should start a campaign - "release the Murdoch three" or something.

Or cutting out Es. Actually Es came into play far too late for my generation; I never know what Irvine Welch is all about, except for the occasional translations on this list. Which ruined "Slow Graffiti" for me, knowing all that sordid stuff was going on upstairs. Georges Perec (?) wrote a novel in French without any "e"s, didn't he? Maybe I was heading in that direction. No, I was compensating for Nick Dastoor's adding on "o" to his name every few years. I used to think Mark was using the Italian for Red House Painters as a pseudonym, then I found out that Mark isn't "painters" in English. Anyway, now that Honey has announced the archives can't be searched properly any more, it's safe to go back to "Conneely". Amos wrote that the marketplace had passed judgement on Gentle Waves, i.e. if you buy some decent old music you can have it cheap. (He didn't write that: I'm just slanting what he did write to jibe at poor Isobel) But then I read on Jeepsternews that "the gentle waves are working on new material". Those who do not learn from history are doomed to make the same mistakes, or whatever that quote is. The solution to the GW problem is for Struan and Isobel to swop roles; no - not have him wearing a dress, just writing the songs and doing the main voice. And draft in Stuart D and Sarah M, too. Could be a very good band if they did that. Cornelius is a great band to cough to. I had a few maximum volume 90 second sessions of trying to expel my lungs at their recent Dublin gig in Dublin without annoying anybody. (Flaming Lips headed the bill but I discovered this morning that they are not very nice people and I don't want to mention them.) On the bus, if I get an inside seat, it guarantees I have the full seat to myself. Which is handy on Imp buses as the seats don't cater for those in possession of kneecaps. Life is cruel: Sparklehorse and Cane 141 are playing in Roisin Dubhs, Galway on Friday next but I can't go. Will see Beth Orton and Charlatans - about whom/which I know nothing - tonight, though.

" Last January I saw Denim's 'Novelty Rock' in the Our Price sale for about 3 quid. "Now" I thought, "Felt = good. Denim = Lawrence from Felt's other band, and thus Denim must = Good." I think only in mathematical formulae you see. Anyway I was wrong, the LP is absolutely awful, and I can't help but think it's probably meant to be, I don't know. It's mostly sung in v. high 'Pinky & Perky' voices and includes one song about Chicory Tip. Are Denim's other LPs quite this bad? I haven't dared find out. Just a thought.

Message-ID: <710AD5AF4EE3D111945C00805F0D0E228D72BB@server1.HITEntertainment.com> Having had a few glasses of wine at lunchtime (my boss's birthday! ¾ hour extra lunchbreak!), I feel less guilty about personal emailing (did you ever? asks half the list). So here's a question which isn't relevant to many of you, but there must be some... College radio. I always imagine the typical college station would sound like the new XFM (NOT London's only alternative), which is almost entirely not a recommendation. Lots of quirky Weezer-type stuff and alternativerock, the most evil word in the cosmos. (XFM is the same, only centred on the life and works of Symposium). But I know I'm being prejudiced, and by the sound of it, there's lots of worthwhile stuff that you'll only get to hear on college radio. Anyway, to the point. Is there anything similar here in London? When I was at Warwick, I DJed on W963 ("the best in student radio", or somesuch), and though the listening figures usually hovered around single figures, occasionally we'd get a temporary FM licence and I was able to bask in the thought of upsetting old ladies as far away as Kenilworth and Solihull with Huggy Bear and Th' Faith Healers. Probably. Anyway, as you'd expect, my show was just fantastic, and if there's anything like that on the radio it'd be nice to tune in occasionally. Anyway, back to lunch. We were happily getting tipsy and reducing the chance of getting any work done this afternoon, when this dodgy looking junkie (and I SWEAR I'm not being rude if I say he looked a bit like Martin Robinson, except not as handsome) waltzed (not literally, come on, keep up) into Café Flo and nicked loads of cash from the till! Despite me sitting nearest the door, I managed to dozily not have a clue what was going on until he'd fled to the next county, just about, but it was quite exciting anyway. I also got to buy my boss a b'day present (not a bidet, sadly), and did such a good job I was asked to be a personal shopper for the head of the legal department. My methods of not knowing how to choose between 3 or 4 items, getting in a huff, snatching a further item and flouncing up to the counter, only to find that it costs twice as much as all the others, evidently works. Which is a bit of luck, considering how bloody awful I seem to be at script editing children's television... Robin, your campaign to reissue old classics sounds simply spiffing. Top hole, as we say in England :-) But I'm sure Nick was joking about Hurley's Having Dreams. Or at least I hope he was joking... Marcus - The Delgados were a wee bit disappointing at Bowlie I. Sterile would be a better word. They sounded mostly like they do on record, but without the quality of the sound. So pretty good, but not uplifting or anything. Maybe they'll kick to kill (cheers) next time. Hope so. Brian Conley tickled me by not only accusing me of naming myself after morbidly depressive Americans, but also by mentioning the Roisin Dubh in Galway. On my (so far) one and only trip to Ireland in 1994, we finished off the final evening of the holiday getting merrily slaughtered in the Roisin, even going as far to buy a kebab made from DOG (it WAS so) from the only non-abrakebabra kebabbie in Ireland. Ah, memories. I can't be alone in wondering when Honey will stop teasing us and ACTUALLY put some visual smut up on the revamped, not-quite-new-and-improved sinister site. I suggest we all vote on who off the list we'd most like to see in the buff, and then use the edict of the People's Democratic Republic of Sinister to demand saucy pics. I'll get the ball rolling with nudey shots of CarsmileSteve, please. And finally, I must give massive props to Keith, who can't possibly be as sound as he, erm, is, for the provision of a lilo for the night. Best supporting props go to the really rather sexy Ally Cook, with whom I hope to be sharing a bed, ahem, room, at Bowlie II (grrrrrr...), Ailsabelle for being Ailsabelle, and the whip-totin' Sheeny for having almost as little hair as me. Cheers. Now listening (in my head): Barbara Dixon & Elaine Paige. Mmmm.

Is it true? Only one person has the > answer... > yeah only one person has the answer. and that person is not telling. heh well i am telling actually. i was just playing hard to get. or something. it's time like this that i'm not that confident i live in Thailand myself. people seem to know things about Thailand i don't. as far as i'm concern, Thailand is most definitely not full of land mine. otherwise i'd have trodded on one by now. Thailand is full of elephants though. i think of them as elderly relatives. seeing them hurt is heartbreaking. Motala is still recuperating. all fingers crossed that she can keep her left foot. where did you get the name Motolo from Mr Miller? you makes her sound like a phone! did you see her bed? special cozy bed made just for her :) and it's hugh! hugher than my house! she's resting on there looking like a precious giant princess. poor baby. what happened to her was that her left foreleg was shattered by a land mine in Burma. her mahout smuggled (and silly me thought only small things can be smuggled) her to work in the Burma forests. i couldn't count how many vets/surgeons/nurse/etc. working on the operation. but the big room was full of people. room is not really a correct word. it's more like like a barn. the operation was last saturday about 3 hours. last i heard she's recovering fast and eating normally. make you wonder why Mr Rolf never do his animal hospital stuff down here isn't it. Mr.John Peel of Chelmford, UK kindly sent me a beautiful postcard from the wonderland of Italy and told magical things about the invisible mountain and starry lights. sigh. abroad is such a lovely place when you can't go anywhere. was it just me and my english, or did Jordi really say Mr Miller is bald??? o my god. and me all along faithfully took you as that ravishingly handsome hipster in sinister photo page. o my earth is shattered. is Tag also going to Toronto too? i trust you all looks after Genevieve well. like Motala, she's also a precious princess. only much smaller. happy weekend everyone! oon xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

(except he used capitals - sooo outdated dahling). i had forgotten it until this moment, but i used to own a beatles (albert dock) sweatshirt with a yellow submarine on it. unfortunately it made me look unutterably stupid. in fact, i used to be able to make the most 'in' items (eg. coloured DMs, bags with all your favourite bands scrawled on them - this is early 90s we're talking here) look, yup, unutterably stupid. i don't get it. how come some people are just born cool, some achieve cool, and some have coolness thrust upon them, but some never really come close? is it a gene? i am still struggling to get the image of gui manipulating a dj out of my head. i mean, i love b&s, don't get me wrong, but there are some depths to which i would not descend (literally). and then george dickie (who may have lost his voice in real life but is still loud and clear on the list, thankfully) started talking about still having two fingers, and i had to go and lie down with my copy of 'the wit and wisdom of mary whitehouse' to recover. and as for those lyrics alistair quoted... i'm concerned that people are getting over-dependent on the list crush site for their self-esteem. i have one measly vote, and you don't hear me complaining. but while i'm on the subject: HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN???!!!! my sister returned from the reading festival a couple of days ago. although she is unlike me in almost every respect, this was an echo of my own younger days, as i went to said festival at exactly the same juncture in my life (between 1st and 2nd year of a levels.) her intelligent choice of bands to view were: offspring, terrorvision and the red hot chilli peppers. mind you, my abiding memory (apart from meeting my first proper boyfriend there - ahhh) is of throwing up while watching the smashing pumpkins, so can't feel too superior really. an almost seamless segue: alistair wrote about boyzone and pop/Pop. i must admit that i like boyzone quite a lot. is this incompatible with liking b&s? nah. they are Pop, definitely. ronan keating is an angel. 'you say it best when you say nothing at all' - he could practically be talking about me, on the evidence of this post. so i will be quiet now, finally. luv archel xxx ps: i'm not going to cheltenham any more. i'm staying here and trying to get a job which actually pays money. radical. ********** 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".

She is really paranoid that you are all lying about who you are and you are all really wierd. "It all sounds a bit sinister to me". I didn't say anything in reply. I'm really scared though, b/c people seem to know who I am, and I'm going to look sooo arrogant when I go along and don't recognise people's names. I do love you, really.

I had to headbang to Lenny Kravitz in an audition today. Can one get compensation for that?

Thats such a great soundtrack, especially the Jeff Buckley and Rob Zander tracks. Speaking of Rob Zander, is anyone else going to see Cheap Trick and Guided by Voices at the 9:30 Club next Fri? I hope so... I saw Mogwai last night in DC and I think my hearing is beginning to re-assert itself as a functional sense. Driving home last night I was close to totally deaf in my right ear, but now its either alot better or the other one has given out as well in a touching display of solidarity with its bretheren. At least the ringing has subsided. It was quite a racuous gathering of the stars of the DC Sinister system at the Black Cat. How anyone in their right mind cannot be instantly cheered up by the presence of Christa and Dan is beyond me. If they're not the happiest, cheeriest, most fun couple on the planet then...I don't know, but they're really great! We also met up with Ian and his girlfriend from Glasgow (never caught a last name but he's got a mullet). They were some of the nicest people I've ever met. Last night I finally saw the B&S documentary that was on the BBC (I'm know thats so old but I'm WAY behind the times) and I liked it. I agree with those that said it left much to be desired but the interviews with Mick were great. He seems like the nicest guy. Richard too, but he seems like more of a mischevious rogue. I would have liked to have seen more Stuart M. or Stevie J. footage, but I guess the handful of Isobel clips makes up for it. Someone said awhile back that this tape proved how horrible and mangled Wee Chris' haircut is and I must sadly agree. It's quite a sad sack cut, but it is kind of neat in an odd way. Gas station attendants pumping gas? Is this still around? I haven't seen a Full Service station in ages, but apparently Lauren has proven their existance. I shall have to lobby to have one installed around here because I'm quite a lazy chap and if I can stay in my car for 5 minutes longer I shall be that much happier.

I just came back from band practice. it went well, in a halfassed kind of way. Look for completed material on the Ear Confection page. That is, if we ever complete anything. Two people sent me tapes. I have your addresses but not what you wanted in return. can you please email me, Antje and Emily and tell me what you wanted? i've been meaning to ask since your tapes showed up close to a week ago. I'm very sorry for the delay I got sort of lost in DC again. Not as bad as last time; we didn't end up in the deep ghetto this time. We did, however, find a plastic skeleton we named "Mr Bones", who became our good luck totem and actually saved us from a wreck *and* a cop. Good thing, as the car we were in had no registration.

What we can talk about, though, is that "unclefukka" song Terrance and Philip sing in the movie. Read the lyrics in the latest Melody Maker. Hmmm... Yes, saw Gay Dad wednesday evening. Fairly good, actually. Nothing that would blow my mind, but ok. And a GREAT addition was that Denise Johnson was touring with them, you know, the chick who sang for Primal Scream etc. We have voices, we hear voices and we have VOICES that really remind us what soul music is all about. That's Denise for you. R. Kelly should be shot (and that has nothing to do with the other stuff I said, just had to get that out of my system). He's a wank. And Cliff Jones had a magnificant ass (not that I paid any attention, but heard it from quite a few people). But he had a strange hairdo. But thats not the point I'm writing. The point is, they held a small ress-conference here yesterday. BUT: that editor of SUE-magazine e-mails me: "You wanna go there? Ask some questions and stuff? 7 other reporters will be there with you." Well off course I wanna go. Then I call up this guy who works for Warner music and ask him when it's held, at what time. "at one." I thought it would be in the evening. But nooooo. So I couldn't go because of this lousy job. Fuck. Can I say that here? That's it.

I have a sneaking suspicion I post too long and too often, but what the hey. I just wanted to add my six eggs. The Yerself is Steam/Lego Yer Ego double whammy is tops, including a cover of Miles' Sshh/Peaceful, and, according to the posters, the greatest debut single in the world..ever - Carwash Hair - on the Cd. I don't know if it's true, but it is inexplicably absent from the vinyl. Does anyone care? For all those peeps seeking out the early days of Mercury Rev, the jewel of the collection is the Rough Trade singles club 7" of their cover of If You Want Me To Stay. White hot funk! Actually, that's a little wide of the mark. Wierd shit is closer. Student radio in London - there was Rare FM for a month last year, done out of UCL, doing the have-a-go-with-an-FM-license-(no static at all)-and-we'll-take-a-year-and-a-half-to-decide-whether-or-not-to-let-you-ha ve-another-go thing that whoever decides this stuff does all the time. I proudly guested on the film show but never listened to the rest cos i couldn't remember the frequency. I do know that in the right reception area, if you flick to AM from XFm you get RTL Country. Sweet country music. Sing ho for the picnic! I fear I wasn't terribly egrerious at the last one I went to. Maybe I hadn't had enough beer. But some nice people remembered who I was at Tigermilking. And i enjoyed myself. if everyone thinks happy thoughts it will be sunny. going on too long again spoon xx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

It's called DREAMS 'hidden meanings and secrets'. Darling starlings, "For a woman, playful kittens in a dream portend a suitor who will be more interested in dalliance than in the serious side of love-making. A man who dreams of kittens is in danger of being played with by the object of his affections" You'd think twee dreams should be a *nice* thing, wouldn't you? I had a very twee dream last night. I was left to look after three kittens (in little baskets, with little covers) while sorting out some packs of cards (with flowers on, no less) but then one moment I looked up and a man with a binliner full of wriggling little kitties was dissapearing out the back door. I chased after him, but he tricked me by throwing another bag at me, which was just full of fluff. I cried. Then someone bought me three new cats, but they were big and fat, and ginger. AND they scratched me. I am coming to the picnic on saturday. Yes, I said I am. Can't wait to see my friend the thorny "my friends are prettier than you" James. Don't worry that people will know your name when you don't know theirs, I don't know about everyone else, but I usually go for the "so, who the hell are you?" approach at picnics. We're all very friendly, honest. We can both sulk about having to go back to school. Mark said: >I suggest we all vote on who off the list we'd most like to see in the >buff Do they have some say in this?

They're great. Then again I would appreciate any form of trainer which didn't squeak on the same volume as a hideously mutated over-sized rat called That Mariah Carey Woman each time I took a step. Oh yes for years I have suffered in bloody squeaky addidas gazelles, but no longer! I have thrown them out!! My trainer footware no longer will let me down :) Jim Taylor mentioned about Stevie Jackson and Peanut M'N'M's. Bloody hell thats strangely hard to type. Please don't mention Stevie Jackson and NUTS again please. I might get far too overheated.... Minx magazine reckons that to spice up your sex life you should roll m'n'm's all over your body. With a partner of course. And other sticky stuff like that. AND TOUNGUES! Did you sister read the same article Jim? And I am I the only one not doing a tape for Antje? Piezoelectric Unit! Give my affections to the Duke, would he be there of course. Does the Duke know anything about The Chesterfields? As I don't. I only know that they've got a stupid name and one of their albums is called The Kettle. Thanks for telling me that Tim. I still remember it. As I remember everything you say. Unless its about Pharcyde, cos I've already forgotten what album you said I should get. Archel, Ronan Keating is an ugly bastard. I'm sorry, but he IS! Look at that FACE of his. It's not right. I always had a soft spot for Monkey Chops Stephen Gately, as Smash Hits always referred to him. Stands to reason he's gay. But then again Ronan is better looking than Shane and Mikey. Is there another Boyzone member called Keith? We have a Sinister Keith too. I bet they are both the same. There's no way I would know of TWO seperate Keiths. I mean is this Eerie Indiana or what? I'm going to Kingston university Marcus. Obviously its not a patch on Cambridge, but hey. I'm nervous of this freshers week thing too, as I'm only a little northern lass and I'll be a long way from home. And all alone. In Surrey. Hooray. So I'll be a little lost and lonely too. I'm sure there will be other lost and lonely people too, and we can find them and sit in the lost and lonely corner with gin and lemonade. Or vodka and lime. Or beer. Or wine. Or stout. Speaking of which....(seamless link coming up!), Robin Stout (heyhey!) wrote about Richard Colburn writing songs on the new B&S record. DOES Richard write any songs? I quite like Richard. I remember almost bumping into him carrying a carrier bag full of alphabetti spaghetti (maybe). And I remember thinking, "Now there's a man who knows his carrier bag technique." Its a little known fact that from the way a man carries a carrier bag, you can tell when he'd be like when carrying his handbag. Would he want to carry a handbag of course. And I managed to deduce that Richard would be one of those saucy temptresses who swing their hips sultrily in order to attract any passers-by with their sexy handbag skeelz. If they didn't have any dyke skeez handy, of course. Dyke Skeez. They aren't only a valuable ski-ing aid, but handy in the old pullage stakes as well. And Isobel is too crap to carry a handbag. Instead she should choose a nice brown paper bag. And put it over her head. Then again, there's not really much point in that is there, with her being an old bag herself... Hur Hur I should keep down this level of humour. Really I should.

Message-ID: <24f17a01.250119f0@aol.com> Its been a thought on my mind for a while, shame shame because s/he will read this. What if you meet someone at a Sinister picnic and they turn out to be, well, not your type of friend? I mean, if you have some stuff in common, but communicate very awkwardly and end up feeling like you're defending your friend's bands and both of you are acting "s--------ish" because you know these musicians are really nice people when you get to know them and its not just another stop on the tour. Sigh. I do think this person is very nice but s/he doesn't think very nice things of some of my friends who s/he's only met once. And I tried really hard to talk about hobbies and travelling and school and other things that would be nice, but it just seemed to be soured by our disagreements even if we never fought. Speaking of touring- My friend Nomy was telling me about touring yesterday and it seemed very wierd. She was in a Drag Attack cabaret that just went all over the US this summer and played punk clubs and queer bars. She was just saying how wierd it is going to city to city and only seeing one little bit of it and having that one little bit be you onstage and then you offstage but with people taking care of you and giving you a place to sleep and wanting to talk to you and interview you and buy things from you. So maybe some people are just used to that kind of attention and start acting funny. Do any of you Sinistereens have web pages where you put up songs in mp3 or real audio? While not a teenboyradiopop band song, I want to put up the song Wanna Be by the Spice Girls as sang by Calvin Johnson of K records with Amelia and Pete from Heavenly/Talulah Gosh/Marine Research. I'm afraid my tape is going to wear out if I don't get it digitalized soon, and then anyone could hear it for free.

And do you know what, their girlfriends didn't even mind, which is always a bonus. A whip also featured prominently in the night's proceedings, but you don't want to know about that, do you? On Tuesday evening I managed to insult Stevie "Chocolate Boy" Jackson whilst watching Sleater-Kinney and hiding from a mad waiter after we forgot to pay our bill in his cafe. Oops! I think Stevie would be a combination of Rolos and Polos, called a roly-poly. Did I say that? Anyway, Rachael said: > Michael Stipe sucks. Opening. Closing. No sound. Places named after people.

No, I couldn't actually. I met my grandpa the other day, while walking along the street. He pulled me into this little arty-crafty-very-expensive type shop to have a look around, then said in a rather loud voice, with lots of people around "So, do you not have a girlfriend then?". He's really very nice though. He's a mad-keen photographer even though he's completely blind in one eye and going that way in the other. I was thinking of inviting him to come and see Sleater-Kinney so that other Sinistereens could bow at his feet, but I think he wanted to go home and have a cup of tea. I had a Sinister dream last night. We were having a big picnic meet-up type thing, except it was behind the bar in the golf club where I work. Jim and Damon were there, except Jim had cut his hair so it was quite short, and Damon had bleached his for some reason. Then I start talking to this guy who I work with, who hates all my music but is there since it's where he works, and I suddenly realise that everyone has gone to the pub without me, and then he says he has to go as well so I'm left all alone. Erica, get your book out. Mr Cas(red)a(house)rotto(painter) said: > this dodgy looking junkie (and > I SWEAR I'm not being rude if I say he looked a bit like Martin Robinson, > except not as handsome) My bus driver today looked like Martin Robinson as well, except obviously not as handsome. What's happened here is that Martin has probably cloned himself a few times, being the mad scientist that he is, except he's not quite perfected the technique so all the clones are imperfect and have to steal or get rubbish jobs as bus drivers to get by. Remember, Martin Robinson clones are people too, and they can't help the way they are. Mark also said something about me being sexy, which is rubbish as anyone who has met me will testify. And last but by no means least, BabyChris said: > AILSA CRAIG (ROSS) IS COING (sic) TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD Has anyone got a spare ticket to Mars? I'm JOKING! You are all my favourite vegetables.

It was the trunk that did it. And I'm glad Thailand isn't full of landmines. Did you know that someone pops their clogs on a landmine every single every so often? It's shocking. I prefer those spiky ones in the sea, like on Dad's Army. And Oon, I can put your mind at rest. Although I have a great deal of respect for baldies, and consider myself to be spiritually balding, I have a lovely head of hair, thick and luxuriant, a bit like David Hasselhoff, only crawling with nits. Besides which, you love baldies in Thailand, we've all seen "The King and I". The other day I bemoaned the enormous number of posts we get from people going on about how drunk they get. It has since occurred to me, all on my own, that people might be going on about getting drunk to cover up for the fact that they've been snogging, and don't want to be held responsible for their choice of snog partner. If that's the case, keep those booze-soaked posts coming in. Sheds new light on Keith's occasional "anyone fancy a pint?" posts too. I've just seen a Ricky Martin video. What a dirty slag artist! He's always at it, from the looks of things. He's got more birds than you can shake a stick at. William, "Novelty Rock" is easily the worst Denim album. The first one's pretty good on the whole, the second one's an acquired taste. I like it, and Piezoleptic Unit likes it, and one or two other people like it. There are glimmers of .... I don't know, it's got good bits. But bear in mind I think Felt is a load of pretentious toss. With good bits. It's like this, which do you prefer? "She lives by the castle, oh yeah" or "I couldn't beleive it, she looked like one of the Hair Bear Bunch!" For me, it's a very one-sided affair. There's a kind of fascism of crap at work, totalitarian straight-faced pop misguidance. It's best not to think about it too much, my advice would be to snap them up if you see them cheap. They've definitely got something. Their influence may account for the top ten wanks line in the Murdoch canon. Praise indeed. Speaking of B&S, do I detect the merest spark of rivalry between Beepster and the "small" B&S office in Glasgow? I'd like to see those two incredibly tight live units playing, I like a bit of superb fretwork and tight drum patterns. Should appeal to industry types in the Big Apple. Speaking of which, if you've got a job in the media world, don't forget to gratuitously mention it in your posts, everyone'll be dead impressed.

Message-ID: <37cff727.2960300@post.demon.co.uk> ...Yes I am, After two days abandoned by Wumpkinny, who's run off to Canada to give a series of would-be suitors (a distant Parisian cousin off the Krays complete with sovereign rings, a fat Manc in sweaty vest and garish running shorts at the airport, and worst of all, a clearly undersexed conspiracy theorist) the slip. To add insult to injury, she's hidden the marmite and now I'm reduced to a poor shell of a man. And the phone went on the blink last night, so I had to go to the callbox last night and listen to that woman my Dad used to call Tin Knickers telling my call would be answered shortly for half an hour until I gave up, a broken man. But do you want to hear my tales of woe? Of course you don't, and I don't blame you. By some weird telekinetic coincidence I was, like Peter Miller, also wondering whether people go on about how drunk they've been to cover up who they've been snogging. You don't need to be so ashamed, love comes in all forms and in the most unlikely situations. So tell us all, don't be shy. Bug, you should dump him. I'm sorry, I know you said we shouldn't tell you that, but you should. Be strong, as strong as a woman. But never mind that...did you see Kevin Rowland at Reading? Was it as funny as it sounded, because it sounded really, really very funny. He was interviewed in "Uncute" this month and the poor soul clearly doesn't know what day of the week it is. I didn't buy any records in Paris, because every shopkeeper in Paris had gone on holiday. I did go into a bar that had a little toy train going from between the men's and ladies toilets. I wonder if this is so that prospective lovers can pass little billet doux from one cubicle to the other while they poo. I do hope so. And we met someone who knew Thim when he was just a wee bairn in a school blazer. My lips are sealed, but I do accept bribes. Time for my gruel.

I get to wear a trilby and sleep with media whores and stick it all on my expenses account. Are media whores supposed to charge? Have I been had? In my capacity as crack news librarian, I have found the following two little gems in today's cuttings: In today's Sun (underneath a photo of the new Tindersticks album cover, which features an 'arty' picture of a naked lady): THE SOURCE SALUTES.... Tindersticks - Simple Pleasure THIS lot have had their fair share of knockers in the past, so I suppose it's only appropriate that they should shove a pair on the cover of the album. That said, a record this good shouldn't come in for too much criticism. Singer Stuart Staples warbles his way through a fine collection of songs that are as thoughtful and beautiful as any you're likely to hear for a long while. ***** And in today's Guardian: The Divine Comedy A Secret History (Setanta) * For reasons beyond human comprehension, Neil Hannon continues to set up camp in the upper reaches of the charts with an ultra-tepid, ultra-English brand of foppish whimsy that your grandparents might have heard on Radio 2 in 1978 and banished for being "not radical enough". "But you fail to see the dark, knowing side to his acerbic easy listening anthems," say the postmodernists, as if Hannon's is-he-or-isn't-he-being-ironic stance excuses the limp innuendo of Something for the Weekend and lame phrasing of The Pop Singer's Fear of the Pollen Count. Well, Val Doonican's cardigan to that. A Secret History - the now familiar "featuring two new tracks" greatest-hits con - is Morrissey with all the arid wit exchanged for stale conceitedness. Thinking of leaving the country, but needing that one final push? Buy this. (TC) Not as great an opening gambit as the Sun, I grant you, but a refreshing example of the Guardian music journalists getting something right for a change. What's all this about me only liking 'Hurley's Having Dreams' in an 'ironic' way. I think it's bloody fantastic, I'll have you know. And so does Tim Hopkins. It's got some lovely lines in it and its depiction of the central character's crazeee ways is as good as any of Stuart's 'this song is about a girl who's a bit mad' songs. Not like 'Rhoda', which just repeats the same lame lines about special persons and special K over and over abloodygain over some piss-poor guitar line ripped off of 'Julia' by the Beatles, who are better than the Beach Boys, though probably less P!O!P! overall. I love the Beach Boys, by the way. But I stand by my crowd-baiting claim that 'Friends' is overrated. Someone implied that 'Rhoda' is a pre B&S song. I know it sounds like that, but I've been told that it was actually recorded some time between T and IYFS. Is this true?

Message-ID: <19990903180533.90283.qmail@hotmail.com> hi witty ones, An inevitable end to my bad day yesterday was this: On TV, the opening throes of The Smiths sacred "How Soon Is Now" began to play. I ran from the kitchen to see what was up. Turns out Nissan is using the song in their commercial for the new Maixima 2000. Johnny's reverb went on as a camera panned around the curves of the automobile. So that was pretty sad. But THEN I thought about the fact that the commercial ended sweetly enough EXACTLY before Morrissey's vocals were about to cut in. Now this gets me thinking: either they sampled and looped the guitar bit (see: SoHo's "Hippiechick", for which Moz/Marr recieved a whopping %75 of royalties for illegal use of the sample), OR...the ever money-hungry Moz/Marr wrote it out back in the early days so that they might be able to do such commercialism later on? Can you imagine Moz and Marr writing and playing along "I aaaaaam humaaaaan and I need to be riiiiiichhh...ER...I mean...lOOOVEEED..." ??? Being a Smiths affecianado, my trained ear told me that the music was NOT an afore mentioned "sample and loop", but in fact the real deal. If anyone's ever read the unauthorized musicology "Morrissey & Marr:The Severed Connection" by Jonny Roghan (whom Moz was quoted as saying "I wish he'd get run over by a bus."), they will read about how much grief the band has gone through regarding money.(see: court battle with ex-Smith members over royalties, in which the judge called Moz all kinds of nasty things like "vile" and "despicable" for his stinginess about turning over royalty money...hmmm...perhaps that's where "beware, I bear more grudges). But I digress...as anounced. The point is, the world is going to pot, no? Will there be a day 10 years from now when I hear B+S on TV supporting Hanes terrycloth underwear (pardon the pun back there)? I dunno. Maybe Electronic Renaissance could be used to sell stereos in stores or something. And I'm getting old. The crap softie music station at work here just played "Blister In The Sun" by Violent Femmes and "People Are People" by DM...mixed between a bunch of top 40 garbage. Then "Good Vibrations" came on, and my Lobster Bisque tasted much better. E.A. and I will be meeting some of you shortly at El Rancho Relaxo later tonight, so I can't wait for that. If anyone wants to make it up to North York after, There's SEVERAL bottles of wine chilling, and a fridge full of beer! HUZZAH! Let the naked twister games begin! Nice 2 luv u baby!

Message-ID: <000401bef635$c1f65b00$e244883e@default> my god..can it really be september? i think a giant whale swallowed a few weeks of my summer somewhere.. just incase anybody remembers me, i've been offline for a couple of months mostly down to phone problems.(i put it down to sarah cracknell's tricks with copper wire whilst living in my cellar) i wasn't ignoring anybody...so i hope you people i was e-mailing off-list won't be too angry if i send you a hello again... there are about 300 messages from the last few months that i wanted to reply to but i think in the interests of not getting turfed off the list that i'll stick to yesterday's. what a bloody gorgeous day..i've spent it lying in the sun trying not to think about the fact that i've now been working in a library for 3 years and pondering the virtues of eyebrow piercings (any advice gratefully received) also, i've been playing the looper album which i've neglected most of the summer. that was my bowlie album and for a little while listening to it made me sad. now i'm getting all excited about ATPs and it seems appropriate to play it once more (by the way, is there any off-list discussion going on on that subject?) all those nice memories of standing on a beach watching the sun come up and dancing in the sea to looper like mad people and erm...watching some band or other. i won't bore you any further. graham was asking for musical recommendations...try some "whale".. the drop dead droovy erica m was sharing: >I found a book in the attic. It's called DREAMS 'hidden meanings and >secrets'. i found a book in the cellar...its called "1001 ways with ky...want an excerpt?" >I had a very twee dream last night.

Cheerio. can i be an eggplant with a message from allah inside it? (this does not mean that i am fat and purple) i think i'll stop now. all this e-mailing has rushed to my head ian (ps. none of the above is true. i was actually kidnapped by an alien who looked like stephen dorff. he would keep trying to impregnate me. i didn't have the heart to tell him that it wouldn't work... he has now gone back to be with his people) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Message-ID: <199909032104.RAA18482@pimout3-int.prodigy.net> That commercial shocked me as well, as it uses "How Soon as Now" over text boasting of how the car contains something like "over 47 square feet of luxury leather" and in the States (though not it's original UK pressing) that song is the centerpiece of the "Meat is Murder" album. Then it struck me that since the Smiths aren't known for licensing music to commercials, perhaps that sample was from Love Spit Love's note for note recreation of the song. In that case, Morrissey/Marr will receive songwriting royalties but wouldn't have been able to stop it's use... On an unrelated note my most recent Pavement video for "Major Leagues" should begin airing in Europe at any moment, and the Pavement home video/DVD comes out in the states in late October. Mark Ibold wears a Study at Stowe shirt in much of the documentary footage, actually, so perhaps that counts...And although most listers probably shun such things, it may be worth watching some of the MTV awards ceremony Septemebr 9th. Around the time I made "Dirty Dream Number Two" I also collaborated with the Torrance Community Dance Group for Fatboy Slim's "Praise You." In addition to being nominated for four awards the TCDG will be performing with Mr .Cook at the awards ceremony. Wish us well as we are up against Britney Spears, Ricky Martin, the Backstreet Boys, Will Smith, and Korn, surreally enough.

But it was worth it. Except that I watched tv straight for about 6 hours the day I bought the blessed vcr and ended up having terrible nightmares (which I won't get into b/c no dream analysis book in the world is gonna be able to help me out.) I still can't believe there are over 60 channels on tv. I'm a little overwhelmed, having not had cable for about 6 years and only flipping around a little at friends' houses (no serious remote control control.) And to top it off: that how-soon-is-all-we-cherish-going-to-be-exploited-now car commercial was on - and just who the hell is that aimed at? Certainly not Smiths' listeners - who do you know who wants to (never mind is able to) buy that "luxary" automobile? But then maybe it is aimed at fans who know that it is "how soon is now" and understand the nuances of the song and rush out (like really fast, like now now now) and buy the car. Teenage nostalgia sells middle-aged commodity. Now, would our feelings be different if it were an ad for a gen-xy volkswagon? Um, no, not me. I am in the used bicycle price range. My "one less car" bike sticker is just an environmentalist front for my poverty. Now that no one's listening anymore I will actually talk about B&S. I was in Zulu, a record store here, and they were playing the Bowlie live cd and I couldn't leave the store, all mesmerized and what. The thing is, I didn't buy it, I have no idea why. Perhaps in too much shock. This was all before my b&s gear arrived in the mail the other day! Joy! A stow t-shirt, badges and tijamrs cd. Take that credit card! I am happy. I will have to alter the neck of the shirt though into a v-neck b/c it is way too high and confining. It's doable (gulp. I think it's best to hand over to the mum for that delicate operation.) Very happy that the rest fits well though. Also, played the cd all day at work (yaay for cd rom drives and computer speaker systems!) Well, looking forward to Mogwai in mid-Sept, and, though it's geeky, I will be wearing earplugs as wearing them makes a world of difference and you can actually hear things *better* (during and after). I think I'm on the cusp of tinitis as it is... Places named after people: I have my own refridgerated trucking company called Robyn's. It used to be Robyn's Reefer Service (in bright red on white trucks), but maybe too many people laughed, this being the west coast and all. But it gave me a good rep for a while... Have a lovely weekend all, Robyn === I was reading the dictionary.

Message-ID: Hello all, your kindly Uncle Dan has emerged from the nursery and my customary silence to send good wishes to Sarah and Marcus (and all the rest of the Sinisterines) and to bid them be brave and of good cheer during the awkwardness of freshman week (or its local equivalent; that's what it's called here in the States, and a horrible week it was indeed)...along with (I admit) a goodly portion of fairly horrible snobs and such you will come across some lovely people I promise (you too, Jen and Lauren) - I can't really speak to the relative merits of kind hearts vs. coronets (this is the USA after all) but kind hearts are certainly worth more than sharp clothes, a rapier-like wit and even (dare I say) good taste in music...and they are out there and you will find them (although it doesn't always seem like it)... And it's getting to be autumn here and I've had "I know where the summer goes" in my head all day... Sorry to trouble you all...be brave, you kind and gentle folks...

THE GAS STATION BOY oh my it is horrible. as i was emailing the lovely steve a letter, the gas station boy called again tonight, making this the sixth time today. mind you i live at home with my parents and this is a house line and it is 11:30 in the p.m. and yet he continues to call. my father and me even got in a tremendous fight over this boy calling a billion times.. i dont want to go on a date with this boy. anybody who calls me 6 times a day, i do not wish to have any interaction with him whatsoever. now the problem is i dont know how to get him to stop calling. this boy is already a stalker, and ive not even been out with him. i mean what do i have some sort of goddamn blinking sign on my head that says "come one come all psychos and stalkers" that seems to be the type that i have been attracting lately. would any of you nice sinister boys care to come over here and protect me? ill even bake you cookies if you do, especially if its jygsaw dave or amos, ooh those are two cuties....ok thats all for me tonight, oh wait one more thing, was i the only one who didnt know that lou barlow of sebadoh us to be in dinosaur jr? i must have been living in a cave throughout the mid nineties..oh speaking of lou barlow, i walked into a record shop in philadelphia the other day and there he was, lou barlow himself, singing and playing guitar by himself...alright this is the end for real. goodnight by little hunny bunnies. *high fives and paper airplanes,* lauren.. . +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Its the first movie I've ever seen that actually left me in a state of shock from sheer emotional impact. I can't recommend it enough to any US listees (is it out in the UK yet?). I had my doubts about anything starring Bruce Willis being anything other than hog's arse but he was amazing the entire film, as was the entire cast. The ending will floor you...be warned. Ummm...not much else to say other than that I cast the tying vote for Erica in the crush booth tonight. I imagine by the time I wake up it will be broken. What happened to Mr. Nick Dasto(o)r? I remember when the vote count was in the double digits and it was two horse race between he and Mr. Trousers. Now he lingers in 8th, which is infinitely more respectable than my piss-poor showing of 87th and 88th but it is still a sad event. If he posted as much as he used to I'm sure he'd rise meteorically to the top of the heap yet again. B&S on the soaps? Blasphemy!

It's just me letting off steam. Whoops, I'm not going to any picnic. Before I got the impression that it was alright, but it turns out mummy hates the idea. She says I can't believe that you are who you say you are. She reckons the idea of a picnic is to go off and take drugs then have an orgy or something. She just says it's strange that I should want to go somewhere else, I can stay here; there's so much to do. Like, err, homework. Hurrah. It's really getting horrid down here. I need a break. I told her you were nice but she doesn't believe me. Sorry I told you I was going. I honestly thought I was. I even ironed my clothes. AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT Since me moaning is beginning to bore even me, I'll tell you about all the interesting things that have been happening: I think my email box has crashed again. I'd better go. And Erica gave me inspiration to dig up my old pulp tapes.

Any true fan could distinguish Marrs guitar afficienado. I suppose that what it all comes down to is the good old dollar, my friends. Dear Mozz must need a new pair of shoes. Or a jumpstart in his career. His legendary status shall always remain in tact. However, maybe he should consult with Cher. You know, record a dance record and cause a sensation! Perhaps a duet, a cover of "I Got You Babe." Stereolab, as well as Spiritualized have also had their tunes used in automobile adverts. Volkswagon, to be exact... Ah, well enough drivel for now.

We met up with Elisabeth, headed to Burger King where J charmed a crown from the staff and subsequently won over many a young girl's heart at the bar. "Oh, you handsome devil..." Danced to old brit soul, motown, and 'a mix of crap' (or so the dj called it) to entertain the young scenesters...elbow girl and glamboy kicked but!!

Ive been given my voice back. (See Mr C, I told you it wasnt three years in the nursery). I used to live here a long long long time ago, but I left because I couldnt cope with all the messages, but today we have modern society and there are such things as digests. Reader's Digest, oh yes, digest is a bad word. And also there are less meassages these days. I can live with fifteen-ish a day. I came back because I was hearing so much about the perverse (I think actually that should be perverted) nature of the postings these days (you know who you are Erica), and Im a pervert at heart. But I dont recognise many people. Erica, Stevie, Tony, thats about it:-( But all these years of alcohol have fermented the part of my brain responsible for memory. >PRE-PUBESCENT CONTACT: >Does anyone remember "dogpile" from their childhood days? I never > >reallyunderstood exactly what dogs had to do with piling up stuff... Then we get into the white-dog-turd conversation.

I know people in this list that haven't even got a zero there. Theyre not even listed on the list. Is this a bad sign? Are they on negative marks or something? And you have all stolen my self confidence by not having a crush on me, despite the fact nobody knew I was here. But it is anonymous Im sure I shall end up crushing on myself:-) That seems to be the only reason I join half of the lists I am on, so I can send myself lots of mail all day without it coming back with my name at the end:-( Glum:-( >did anyone else see any of john peel night last night? i caught some >of >the'sounds of the eighties and nineties' segment with morrissey >swinging >whatseemed to be bits of a harvest festival round his head. >nice.

Message-ID: <19990904213831.17461.qmail@hotmail.com> I have finally given up lurking and decided to express myself. Strange, after only a seemingly short while (2 months) of hardly being able to read my digest; I find so many new kids (curious new folk) in town. There's probably an even larger number in "Lurksville". The population of the girly persuasion seems to be a bit on the up and up also (and of the more interesting sort). That is healthy though, us Sinister boys like to have you more intriguing Sinister girls around for a crush or two. It's only natutal now, ain't it? What is chiefly on my mind is the fact that trying to organize a pickernick, meet-up, whatever, is becoming very difficult here in L.A. I could only hope for kind of support and interest in them that you folks have over the pond have on such a regular basis. I guess it is partly due to the number of fans (or should I say lack of fans) available to get together in the first place. I have met a few here and there, but realistically speaking, we couldn't be any further from prime B&S fan territory than here (don't get anal now and tell me Antarctica or something smart-arsed). I truly envy you kids in London with your oh-so-frequent meet-ups. I love the community spirit and fan solidarity and could use some over this way. I hate thinking that I am a lone Sinisterine so far detached from my home and loved ones (sniffle, sob, sigh). There are some damn snobby pop kids over here anyway!!! Maybe I am just getting bitter. I hope I find you all doing well, cheers, xoxoxo frankie - member of the Young Peoples Socialist League. http://votesocialist.org "I'm only going to ask once,.....................who wants a hug!!" ______________________________________________________ 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".

Be strong, as strong as a woman. too late. the day after i posted the message [ie. thursday], i went to the jericho and he was there. i asked him if he would mind stepping outside for a minute to talk, and he agreed. so, we went and sat in the car park [well, i sat and he leant against a wall, but he ended up sitting], and i asked him what the fuck was going on. he then proceeded to tell me that he really couldn't be arsed to go out with me anymore, and spouted a whole load of bullshit about how he made all the effort and i didn't even show him that i cared etc etc etc. he also had a go at me about how he got really pissed off that one of my best friends [james] was always hanging around. i pointed out that this was because he was my best friend, but he just gave me a real evil and said "yeah, but he so blatantly fancies you". and then he told me that if i didn't stop making these mistakes [ie. alledgedly not caring and being around one of my best friends] then i'd never be able to hold on to anyone for more than a month or two. and he also said that he really didn't think we should stop talking over this, and then totally ignored me for the rest of the night. which was nice of him. i just got back from witney - playing a gig that he arranged supporting his band, stars of track and field. that was interesting. we [moonkat] played a very new song, written about four days ago about him......very obviously about him as well. and it had the words "love" and "baby" in it [see subject to this message]. hmmm. cassie said i was extremely brave to sing it seeing as everyone there were his friends. he was very sweet to me before we went onstage and asked me if i was ok, but then he ignored me again all night as soon as we finished playing. i hate men. i really do. i'm in a very bad mood. i don't think i've ever been so angry as i was onstage tonight. spitting hatred into the microphone ["you jerk you dick you fucking whore" - different song but he inspired tonight's performance of it]. but i still want him back. bollox. anyway, sorry..just had to get it all out of my system again.. tag, i saw about one minute of kevin rowland before we ran off in disgust to watch les rythmes digitales. they were very kool. i did see kevin's pervy dancers though. not nice. ok, i'm off to watch shitty stuff like 'friends' so i can shout abuse at the tv for their fake happy lives. life is krap - they know not of what they speak. apologies for any spelling/grammar mistakes in this - i've had rather a lot of vodka..... love you all *bug* i'll regret this in the morning.... ___________________________________________ ***the tiny zine on the net*** http://ds.dial.pipex.com/sage/tartrazine ***and the best band in oxford*** http://www.sage.dial.pipex.com/moonkat/ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Cliff Richard isn't very popular these days, is he ? The Jazz Butcher are playing a couple of US shows over the next weeks ... September 09 - Troubador, Los Angeles, California 11 - Great American Music Hall, San Francisco, California 14 - Berbatis Pan, Portland, Washington 16 - Crocodile Cafe, Seattle, Washington 23 - Wetlands, New York, New York Attendance is highly recommended for anyone in the area, even if you don't have the slightest clue who they are ... for the initiated, they will play in the classic formation that recorded the second _A Scandal In Bohemia_ album back in 1984 and the choice of songs should be likewise. As regards contemporary P!O!P! treasury, Carrick C Blair wrote ... >But Jordi...There is a Ninotchka song on the somewhat recently >released Head In the Clouds CD compilation on Dreamy. It's only a >minute and a half long but its a nice one and a half minutes. The >rest the cd is amazing, especially the wonderful >Arco >and Graham >and Farina >and Jacques featuring Kirk Lake >and on and on. Rare as they are, worthwile recommendations must be seconded ... the "Longsighted" 7" by Arco was my favourite single of last year (the most beloved album being _Good Morning Spider_ by Sparklehorse) and even though the compilation album features the flipsides of the debut single only, the exclusive Graham songs are worth the admission price alone ... achingly beautiful melancholia for candlelight evenings. More information on the most promising new record label around is available at http://www.dreamyrecords.demon.co.uk ... or simply send £18 for Arco's "Longsighted" 7" and "Ending Up" CDs as well as the _Head In The Clouds_ CD (20 songs, no less) to Dreamy Records Ltd, 6 Kenilworth Road, London, W5 3UH, England and you won't be dissapointed. And while I'm here, the recently released _Heavy Black Frame_ CD by Tram on Piao! Records is another favourite in this vein. Finally, for those who missed out on the _Practical Footwear_ CD by Sodastream the first time around, a reissue on Tugboat Records is forthcoming ... how come that nobody ever mentioned the striking resemblance of Stuart Murdoch's voice on Karl Smith's excellent "The Sky Is Beginning To Bruise" solo 7" (Aquamudvuv Records/Bad Jazz Records) anyway ?

It's easy to forget how much I love music, and there are times (such as listening to the first half-hour of the Top 40, a misfortune I had earlier) when you can swear the whole thing off, the passion is utterly dulled. But hearing Momus's Stars Forever again ... for the first time I'm in love. I've been feeling spiritually and geographically lost recently, struggling with so many problems.

Isobel in it. i'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this before, but if someone wants it transcribed, i'll type it up and post it to the list. it's quite darling actually. the magazine itself is a bit odd--the reviews are terribly short and non descriptive. a bit like Q. has anyone heard the new tindersticks record? will there even be a US release? i can't find it anywhere. so which music magazines are read by listees? i'm merely curious, and not a sheep, just trudging along. all i can seem to find over here are old copies of rolling stone and spin. pure shite, i know. though this puncture find was interesting. it's got a big story on the flaming lips, with a killer cover photo of the boys. the soft bulletin is an album that i still have yet to fully appreciate. this is unlike mercury rev, which i loved upon first listen. this magazine did have a mogwai review that was right up my alley--it took several hundred times for me to really like come on die young. but now, i adore it. so what's the word on hefner? should i invest? i have so many cds that it makes me sick. well the magnetic fields unleash 69 love songs on tuesday, shall we have a release party of some sort? crumpets, as usual, are on the house, courtesy of sir blakie. i did just pick up bernard butler's solo record and it's great! sure lyrically it sounds like new suede, but the songs themselves are just lovely. hello? dc meetup at king's dominion? what is going on with this? hrm. i'm sure i have much more to say, but its relevance is surely misconstrued.... happy sundays blake xx the nerdy shy eyed pacifist ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ "I am not Jesus, though I have the same initials." - Jarvis Cocker +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

I had a blinder, my Manc friend Daniel came to visit, and we saw 'Jeffrey Bernard Is Unwell' on Saturday night, and Yo La Tengo last night in London. Were any other Sinisterines there? I looked for uppy-downy badges but saw none. It was a wicked concert, apart from when Dan and I (grammar) nipped out to get a sandwich, but noticed a sign outside a Firkin pub advertising half-price Dogbolter (non-UK listees - this is a very strong, yet disgusting-tasting beer). Never ones to let an opportunity like this slip by, we nipped in for just the one, and managed to miss Mark Eitzel. And Jega. Bollocks. We did see The Wisdom Of Harry, and, indeed Yo La Tengo. I spoke briefly with Yo La Tengo's bass player about the bassline to Autumn Sweater, and apparantly he played it with his legs. I think that's what he said anyway. Oh, about that 'using booze as an excuse' thing. I think that a lot of people do this, but I try not to. It's not like drink makes us into completely different people, is it? We may be a bit larier or whatever, but I'm still Will whether I'm drunk, hungover, or....whatever other state of being there is. I can't remember. I think booze just strips away layers of people, gets to 'the real person' almost, by getting rid of all of our social nicities. This can be a bad thing, but it's most often a good thing. I don't know how coherent that is. I'm going for a lie down.

I know that this was an swered almost two months ago, but who�s the girl who appears on it ? maybe i�ll have to wear glasses soon or this girl doesn�t look like Mary Jo. I haven�t been able to discover how gorgeous are the new badges. However, I hope that these news about Isobel moving flat doesn�t mean that she�s scared of the Anti-Isobel Preston Army. I�d love to be threatened if this would mean that I have someone doing the opposite. Really. Magnetic Megan complained some days ago about not having anyone able to make tapes for her. I�d still be happy to do one for her, as soon as I finished my exams. I�m also one member of the Antje-Tape club. Morrissey is playing here !!! unbelievable. This old chap has never been there in his solo career and now is playing, and I thin k that is for helping his economical, as he seems not to have enough with those TV comercials that you werew talking about these days.

Message-ID: <716c8729.2504eb12@aol.com> Okay I haven't posted for a while but I hope everyone is having a lovely summer. I finally got to talk to a boy I've thought nicely of from afar last night, and the story is kinda funny I don't want to embarass him because through our conversation I discovered he was once Sinister...see, the theme of the party was "dress to get laid" party last night and this boy who I haven't seen in a while was wearing an ensemble that included black glasses, converse sneakers, a blue sweater etc. AND a belle and sebastian badge. He said it wasn't a "dress to get laid" outfit, he just wanted to wear a sweater. Sigh. Maybe I don't believe him anymore, as was mentioned yesterday, it was the little boy flipping off the viewer, which in the US at least implies "f*** you" which would be appropriate at such a party. I felt kinda silly. When he walked into the party I was playing twister in a iradescent pink vinyl dress with leopard print panties flashing every few seconds as I tried to stay in the game while people were losing items of clothing left and right. But we did talk for a while, that made me happy. I don't think anyone actually got laid at the party though. I've had better luck on this list. :) Love Courtney +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

I hope I'm not sounding dumb and arrogant.) oh well. some strange things happened last week. I was away on an outward bound week, and on the way back, we were meant to get the bus from fort william to glasgow, but there were too many people on the bus, so we had to get on the edinburugh bus, and get a connection at stirling. Any way, I sat at the back, and there were two girls there who had to sit up because they were using the back row as a bed thing. so I sat down, and my friend dougie asked me what was on my sterio. I said "terror twiglight by pavement, and on the other side of the tape, tigermilk by belle and sebastian." then one of the girls, said "I don't mean to be nosy, but do you like b&s", and I said "yes, they kick ass, but not violently." she said that she has a b&s obsession. her favourite song was fox in the snow. she lived in edinburugh, but went to boarding school in york. she was nice. It was weird because I had never met another b&s fan just out of the blue, just like that. I've only ever made people become fans. I thought that it was strange. baby chris CRYSTALBALLS ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Made even stranger by the fact the Archel now thinks I'm named after that time of the month. Hmmm. Various stuff I wanted to say - Rachel, how about "Puppet on a String"? "Hazy Shade of Winter" (not the most obvious, maybe, but it's a fantastic song and will no doubt be very easy to word-associate from. I like the idea, though - the whole compilation tape thing ties in with what Megan and Blake (I think) were saying about losing their love for music. I sometimes wonder if I'll ever get mine back. Miss Vicky gave me three CDs I bought in Glasgow 10 DAYS AGO which I'd left in her bag - she couldn't understand how I'd been able to not listen to them. I barely even remembered I'd bought them. And I got the Mogwai album from Amazon about 4 weeks ago, and I haven't even touched it yet. I'd rather listen to Kate Rusby at the moment. But then who wouldn't. For what it's worth, I read the NME. Occasionally. It's not really for me any more, but the crossword's fun. And now, something I started last week but ran out of inspiration to finish. I'm aware of the indiewanker aspect of this comment, but I couldn't let it lie... "Yerself is Steam" is Mercury Rev when they were GOOD! I promise, I've tried to get into their new stuff, I watched them at Bowlie all excited, only to be unbelievably disappointed by their standardised mid-tempo rock music. They played "Carwash Hair" as a fucking jaunty whistle-along that could have tripped off the lips of They Might Be Giants. What a letdown. I've just read the rest of my digest and seen that the boy Spoon beat me to it. Way to go Spoon. But then Erica went and gave beeg props to Kylie's "Confide in Me", which is THE record I look for every time I go to a new record shop, only to be cruelly disappointed each time. I've met her mum you know. Urgh again - I should do some work and salvage my self-respect.

I had that with plums yesterday. So, first of all, howdy to everybody I saw at the picnic (can only remember Erica and Geoff but please don't be offended if I can't remember your name, as I'm generally appalling at that sort of thing, but I do have detailed pictures in my memory of your faces and what type of spectacles you were wearing). Sorry I couldn't stay long but, as it was my sister who suggested we go for a picnic on Primrose Hill, I couldn't forgo Quality Time with her in order to sit around boozing, could I? Besides, she did me a massive favour by holding my hand and helping me through shyness. You probably guessed from the fact that she was wearing DKNY trainers that she is not much of a B&S fan. I did play her SOT&F but she said "The singer sounds like Kermit's little brother Robin". Ouch. Maybe I should have played something that sounds a bit jollier like String Bean Jean, but the damage is done now. Or maybe the damage was done when she bought Wham's greatest hits. In answer to Mr Watson's query, I have never worked at a certain sea-front club in Blackpool. I do go to Blackers regularly when I can find the time in my busy schedule, but I generally play clubs in seedy backstreets. USELESS TRIVIA CORNER Nice to see Soho's Hippy Chick got a mention - I still have a video of them performing it on Top of the Pops somewhere - they wore bright orange tent-dresses with bright blue neck-ties. Their drummer went on to join The Bluetones. I kid you not. RADIO It is my impression that there are a few ex-student radio types out there. It is also my impression that there is sod-all decent radio in London. Anyone fancy starting Sinister FM?

Lucy, yes radio in London *is* crap, although the local stations are probably marginally superior to other parts of Britain. In fact British radio stations are among the worst in the world, because they still believe in a false, imaginary national unity via the Top 40. With the freedom offered by the wider range of broadcasting elsewhere, more micro-identities within France, Germany, New Zealand even, are recognised. Not like here, tragically. "endearing Devon insularity" ... not sure about that, but I find Dorset insularity the least endearing thing imaginable.

Bit of a non-starter. I saw the Arab Strap show last thursday, somehow they didn't move me to the extent that I'd expected. They didn't seem too happy with the show. Aidan Moffat was quite a bit taller than I expected, though. I met fellow sinisterine Tim McGregor - top bloke, and the first time I've met someone through the list. I went on a spending spree on Saturday and bought two splediferous CDs - 'The Fidelity Wars' by Hefner and 'Slow riot for zero Kanada' by Godspeed you Black Emperor. I love the Godspeed one - it brings back memories of My Dying Bride (oh, the folly of youth!). Hefner is a bit of a grower, mind you it's the growers that always stay in the top rack longest. If I recall, it took a couple of months for IYFS to grow on me completely. Has anyone heard that re-released old album by Skip Spence? Is it any good? As a fan of Surrealistic Pillow-era Jefferson Airplane (please don't take the piss) I was considering getting it. Daragh Lynch, can you hear me? POST, damn it! Be not afraid.

I was listening to Nick Drake's "Pink Moon" and 'Things behind the sun' came on and I suddenly felt like I was walking in slow motion.... like in an end of a movie where they play a really sad song and the person is walking really slow and the wind is blowing their hair in their face....ohhhhhhhh....so weird....my head was spinning and I couldn't feel my body anymore, people were bumping into me, lips around me were moving and my eyes started tearing and I had to sit on the side of Yonge street in Toronto beside the TD bank and a man that kept asking me for change... Someone on the list, mind my cheese-holed brain but I cannot remember who, mentioned the gal from Len and I had to laugh...really loud in my room freaking out the cat....sorry, I am from Toronto and back when I was young and energetic (and rich) I used to see at least 5 shows a week, at least half of which were opened by the then 'punk rock' Len...and they always bugged me for these reasons.... 1. brother and sister incest....ewwwwwww...kissing and touching brother/sister bad.... 2. brain rotting lyrics ('just because my breath smells like poptarts doesn't mean that I eat them all night') 3. the fact that the chick never, and I repeat, NEVER took off her napsack....I must have seen them 24 times and she wore it always...once taking off her sweater with it on...we used to wonder if she had a hump... 4. have you heard her talking voice?? I did...I thought it would be high and sweet...it was low...very low....ahhhhhh... Anyhoo...I am babbling...perhaps still in complete shock from today...or perhaps just insane....(ermmm...no voting) Love ya and leave ya... "There are events you remember all your life, like your first real orgasm. And the whole purpose of the absurd, mechanically persistent involvement with recorded music is the pursuit of that priceless moment...Because the best music is strong and guides and cleanses and is life itself."....Lester Bangs...

I know little if anything about the sartorial aspects of prom dresses, but I'm assuming you're the lovely on the right in the red? Please fill me in... Any Vince Guaraldi fans on the Sinister list? I dug out all my old Charlie Brown records this week and I was properly blown away at how good they sounded now that I hadn't heard them in ages. The Christmas record is still my fave, even in September. Is he still alive? If so maybe I'll write him a letter someday. Anyone have a band on the East Coast that would like to trade gigs? I arrange and play drums in an acoustic pop band not unlike the Lemonheads or Wilco. We're from Baltimore and we're willing to trade gigs far and wide so long as we can play basketball and skateboard wherever we go. Mail me if'n you're interested in a good game of 5 a side...

Oh. everyone out here has little black glasses--the girls i mean--and wears kerchiefs, it's like isobel fest or soemthing. Oh i forgot to mention Biker Bel. she looked just like isobel, cept maybe a little less skinny, had a red kerchief and she had all these huge-ass tattoos of like eagles and stuff on her back and! ! on her arm. she was great. um oh yes. i have lots of new comic strips to post. oh and allen i must remember to mail you the thing i said i would mail you awright sweetie? god this post sucks. i just wanted to say that i'm all moved and i ahve a shiny bicycle and i'm heartbroken and oh yes, stuart is pretty cute isn't he? oh and. i just got my other photos back and one of the Looper pictures actually came out, so yall can see stuart david with his lighted specs on as soon i post that one up, anyeon who wasn't lucky enough to see it in person. um everything is just pretty insane, but on a better note i get the independent film channel, that makes up for everything else right? i imagine so. and they have 24-hr Lili Taylor. apparently. which is fine with me.....althoug i'm getting scared, because every time i watch something on there, the next movie comes on and the same ppl are in it, and when i look stuff up about the movies, they all fit together like this huge incestuous puzzle, like what movie WASNT Lili Taylor in?? she was in EVERYTHING!!(not a bad thing mind you) and it just really scares me, i basically don't know if there is a God anymore, my fingernails are falling out trying to remember all the peopel who were in FLIRT. i'm scared mommy. i guess i didn't shoot andy warhol, but i've been itching to shoot SOMEONE> i've never done this kind of thing before...but if i killed him now, well who's gonna miss him??

Morning Popsicle lickers, So All Toronto�s Pasties has been cancelled then... Bugger! 12 reasons why: (according to Steve Lamacq, an impromptu interview with Aidan Moffet, and some other random music-bod): 1. She prefers the night to dayaa! Err, sorry, lets try again... 1. Generally poor tickets sales: Well what did they expect with a minimum of ticket purchase of a 4 person chalet at �420+. 2. Bad timing1: A festival at the arse-end of summer after people have already paid to go to their choice of the BIG festivals - "Wow that�s such a wacky idea it can never fail, the kidz will lap it up, oh yes!" 3. Bad timing2: Holding it just as virtually all the student population in the country are either in the process of returning to Uni, or are in the middle of the best time there (ie: the first few weeks where work is light and reunions flow with unlimited quantities of cheap phishy lager). 4. Bad timing3: Arse-end of summer => beginning of winter => eventful weather conditions down on the Sussex coast. Yeah I know everyone will be in chalets, but it would be a right pisser to have to be inside most of the time just to avoid hideous weather conditions, and that beautiful beach would be completely wasted which would be a crime and a crying-shame. And what about football, ARGH! what a nightmare scenario, we wouldn�t be able to judge the worthiness forthcoming bands on the knobbiliness and cleanliness of their knees during the five-aside. 5. Band line-up: The line-up is damned impressive, but most of them have only just done-the-rounds or are in the middle of a tour right now, so its not as if its an extremely rare event (unlike say, seeing Belle & Sebastian play live). 6. Location: The Camber sands site itself has just what you need for a festy like this but its in the middle of no-where, so not even avid fans would be likely to follow there favourite bands there (eg: imagine Gorky's, Arab Strap's, or Stereolab's large home-town troop of fans traipsing down to see them on the windswept Sussex coast) 7. Err, All the Rod Hull and Emu fans are boycoting it after they saw the twisted t-shirts sold at the last one making a mockery of their recently departed idols. 8. Reports of the locals eating stray revellers has gained popular opinion. 9. Fans aren't prepared for the shock of John Peel not showing up again. 10. "The bands on just don't have the hard-core obsessive following that Belle & Sebastian has" (Hey, that�s you! ;) 11. Something about an ancient curse, where the first person to dance in the second arena will turn into a potted seedling and spend the rest of eternity decorating a dingy nook of the Camber Sands restaurant. 12. And err, people are staying at home just in case that weirdo loner J Cocker is there again, trying to make friends with the kidz by offering them boiled sweets, piggy-back rides and invitations back to his chalet to pet his Labrador puppies (And I'm not falling for that one again, oh no ). So that�s it, but looking on the bright-side: loads of us are suddenly gonna get a �105 refund, money which we have already missed (dearly) and adapted to the loss as necessary, so why don't we pool all our funds together and do something B I G ! Like our own replacement do (or enmasse mourning session) for the festival that never was. I avoid order and organisation like the plague (as can be seem in the dishevelled anarchic manner I keep my pants & sock drawer in ;) but if another bitter dejected fool would like to suggest, organise, be responsible for, and take the blame for fuck-ups for something we can go to them let the world know you�re thoughts (or not if they�re really scary!). Now I must work, with the burden of tears welling inside me and the acronym 'ATP' echoing eternal through my thoughts, swelling my heart in synchronicity with my subdued sobbing mews... < or some other Morrissey lyric ;> Take care my fragile children, unlimited love to each and everyone of you, paul. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Anybody know of any major bands willing to jump in at the last minute and save my much-needed break - no cause they're all rightly busy. But to save these dashed hopes I've a plan - a few of us will no doubt have arranged our transport to at least london so lets have a huge sinister weekend...and hire out our own ocean theme bar..I can do a mean bonnie tyler, Joss can be Lee Hazelwood, paula and Scott can serve the booze, Nick, Tim, Mick and Mark can wow us with their 'Sandman' rendition like the one in Grease 2. Martin, Geoff, Matt, Maren, Natasha and Marcus can be the token instrumental set, complete with triangles and 101 sounds yamaha keyboards. Vincent and Jim are our own indie band djs - with a fine display of hats to keep us amused between records. Alasdair, Alan, Ailsa, Alex and Amos are the Bananarama cover band cos there's five of them with names beginning with 'a' and theres five 'a's in bananarama - lucky they didnt begin with * as we would be subjected to the foot tapping 'system addict', all evening. Paul will of course be 'garish in (a) pink' blazer. David, Richard and Robin will be the gorgeous security who hand out free disposable cameras to the crowd. Erica, Jan, Giita and Pam can be the Shangrilas - singing '(remember) walking in the sand'...which we all can..sob. Theres your list then of all who are going, or were, or are, well lets face it arent. claire ______________________________________________________ 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".

And this is another post just for finding answers. I�ve been re-watching time&again the BBC documentary that Rob Halcrow so kindly sent me. There�s one point that maybe is wrong. When you�ve got the drawing of Stu asking people at the cafe to join his band, somebody answers "I can play the violin !" who obviously can�t be no one else than Sarah. But, as I have understood, Sarah joined the band later, at the "Sinister" sessions. Is this a mistake by mr. Bandit Stewart ? Oh, at the live recording of "The boy..." you can see Matthew Hintz at the first row, along with mr. Nick Dastoor. I need an advice: which album to buy, Cane 141 "Scene from 6 a.m" or Beth Orton�s "Cen tral Reservation" ? Both are playing here in a few weeks. ===================================== ============= Jordiet Sinistre (Always looking at the bright side of life) ================================================== Tu E-Mail Gratis en http://www.mixmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

How about a minature version of ATP in a pub/club somewhere, like Claire suggested. All weekend - we've all got 100 quid that we didn't know we had, after all, that should buy quite a few extra drinks. There must be some decent bands on over that weekend too.

We should turn it into a Bowlie theme party: (1) Anyone who has a garden shed, a pink frilly lampshade and a sofa you can only sit the wrong way round on can recreate the chaletesque experience. (2) Venue: Doesn't matter as long as it serves Beamish Black. (3) Bands: Each member of Sinister has to come dressed as a member of Belle and Sebastian, and can mime to recordings of past gigs. (4) Anyone who wants to do (3) can do this in Camber Sands. Preferably 400 yards off shore. (5) Surprise appearance by Zigue Zigue Sputnik (who have now reformed and quote their influences as Mogwai, Extreme Noise Terror and Val Doonican) Seriously though, I am disappointed. I was looking forward to suffering a hangover in a draughty chalet, then trampling through the mud to Funky Monkey's Fun Zone. These are the things that make you feel truly alive. That and the scowl I got from the woman in the newsagents when I complained that you couldn't get a single broadsheet newspaper in East Sussex.

Hmmh, maybe Foundation have bottled-out telling Camber Sands that they have just stopped 2000+ (well 1000+ maybe) paying 'guests' from staying at their lovely campsite with all of its exquisitely expensive facilities. I don't blame them if they havn't told em' yet, cos most of the flaq is going to come from the direction of Sussex (argh, scary thought!). I can almost see it now: a solitary lawsuit winging its disgruntled path right to Foundations already heavily burdened doorstep. Beautifully presented & perfectly bound (tied with a red ribbon no less), but with the stench of seaweed, the English channel (ie: human effulance) and the sweat of innocent people clinging doggedly to it like a tenacious piglet at its mothers teet. It lands with a dull thud which stills all the frenzied activity within. Silence dons its death mask and weilds its cotton-wool shrouded club. Fear grips the Foundation possee, as they ready themselves for flight or fight. Then the severity of the situation dawns on all and sundry, to the very last man woman and townie, they are not merely fighting the Camber Sands wide-boyz but the etheral shades of Rod Hull and his trusty flightless bird Emu as well. They know they don't stand a chance and the thoughts of victory settle with the angry specks of dust surrounding their beautiful present from the East. Err! And on that note I will flee into the night like, ...ergh..., like, someone chased by a be-wellied farmer after being caught impersonating a 'tenacious piglet' on his farm.

Wasn't that fun! I've just realised you can do that with any girl you feel like, haha. Of course I love Isobel really, just demonstrating that fun tip. I'm going back to school tommorrow and I'm amazingly happy about it. This holiday was bad even in comparison to 1998, but hey, looking back, it's sorta funny (well, not very funny, but a bit). Some people have all the luck though. Neil (Mr K.) seems to be living in 1998, and Chris Jones time travels in from 1996. Reffering to the dates that come on the emails, that is. Oh Chris, please can I swap. go back to hearing IYFS for the first time. Ooops, rambling, just thought I'd reply to a couple of things on the list: Grae.. Chris said: >Peeps dont call Erica Graham do they? I didn't before. I got people to be all nice to me with my last post. Which is very sweet of you. next time, I may actually make it to a picnic, there's about a 75% chance. (mathematically, I would say 95% chance, but you have to take into account sod's law. Also, there's the problem of my conscience; the plan isn't 100% moral. Though it's quite good ;). Kelly: >My first gig was Iron Maiden, don't you know. Terrorvision for me. That was fun. No it wasn't my own choice of gig, but not much comes to Guildford. Mr Beaker: >Woking - that's outside of Devon isn't it ? Oh yes, woking is the even shittier shithole just north of here. Woking gets even less than Guildford. They think they're so clever with their lots of people and a football team (the only national club in Surrey, I believe). grrr. No shops, crap schools, all the jobs are MI5 and Home office and thought police. crappy place, Woking. Ms Juicy told me off the list that Erica noticed I wasn't at the picnic. Ha. She was just itching to beat me up into saying she was pretty. NEVER..NEVER..NEVER AAAH. Graham's a bitch, she's a big fat bitch... Ooops, just voted for her One more thought: WITH MAN GONE, WILL THERE BE HOPE FOR GORILLA? With gorrila gone, will there be hope for man? Bye.

I live in London, and may go to ATPiss up instead, but I'm a little frightened of you all. Persuade me that everything is alright forever.

SEEING OTHER PEOPLE if any of you remember me discussing this before, my boyfriend and i have officially broken up now. didn't stop us from having sex last week, though. oh well, i'm back at school 100 miles away from him now, so that should stop that. FRENCH FRIES mcdonald's french fries turn rubbery when they get cold, and it's really unappetizing. but i'm hungry, so i'll eat them anyway. now i'm disgusted with myself. LIST CRUSH i'll admit it, i was one of the bad people that voted more than once. however, that was over the span of several months and never for the same person twice. Now i can't even remember who i voted for. i'm pretty sure list mummy honey was one of them. nobody ever voted for me, though. oh well. i guess i shouldn't complain. it's not like i post a lot. I WISH STUART WOULD TELL ME WHERE THE SUMMER GOES like many of you i've returned to school. this time it's my last year, so i'm excited about that. but i'm living with 7 people that i don't really consider friends, so i've become horribly lonely. If any of you live in the massachusetts area, my phone number is (413)559-4850 and i live at hampshire college in mod 65. come visit me, i could really use the company. my room is tiny, but i spend all my time here. *sigh* B&S CONTENT well, there was some up in those headers, but maybe that doesn't count. i wore my swanky study at stow tshirt today, but had to take it off because it was too hot for a tshirt and i was sweating a lot, so i changed into a tank top which was much more comfortable. but i was really looking forward to attracting cute indie brit pop twee boys. rumor has it that joseph gordon levitt from third rock from the sun is attending hampshire this year. i wonder if he likes B&S. likewise, i'm listening to palace right now and i wonder how it would sound if will oldham worked with belle and sebbie. i think it would sound pretty neat, but who would sing? -kerry "there is something you should know: the girl of your dreams is here all alone." -morrissey, "southpaw" +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Message-ID: <710AD5AF4EE3D111945C00805F0D0E228D7313@server1.HITEntertainment.com> Following the demise of ATP, it's been suggested to me that we have a go at setting up a TIGERMILKING do sometime next weekend. The major problem, unfortunately, is that our local beloved venue is, unsurprisingly, already booked up (Thursday night was free, but that's Betsey Trotwood night - see you all there? - and unless we get a cancellation, that's that, sadly). So, if anyone has any suggestions as to where else we could hold an event (bearing in mind we need to have equipment provided for us), please let me know as soon as you can. Props specially to Claire T, who is almost frighteningly driven in her desire to have a Good Time next weekend. Has a picnic been mentioned? I know it's not long since the last one, but with such a diverse range of people around...and I'll be able to attend this one :-) Even more desirable would be some kind of footie tournament during a picnic. Anyone up for that? And, the best thing is, people who weren't going to ATP can also join in the fun (not that this affects me at all, oh no :-))! Groovy! I wonder if we could get one of the bands who were going to play at ATP to play at whatever shindig we do organise? Anyone know any of the bands and would be able to put in a good word? Please mail me PRIVATELY if you have any thoughts on the whole kaboodle. I definitely don't want to tread on anyone's toes here (Stevie and Claire in particular), but it's time for ACTION, not words. I'm all for uniting! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

I can't really tell how old I was but I think I was in my late 20s, it is quite blury but the dream has put a big mark on me cuz I'm currently right now choosing weither I should move to San Francisco to read graphic design and become something within that era or staying here with my girlfriend and grow old with her. Ironically I have been listening a lot to the new Arab Strap cd which is just about that, growing old with your girlfriend. It is quite simple, one day I would just not get the rubber and I do no longer have to think about it, or I pick up and leave now when the emotional scares are not that big. But it is not that simple, my girlfriend is still in school and I work as an intern with super shitty pay. I guess what it all comes down to is that I fear that after I move I will be single for the rest of my life. My friends mum tried to convince me that we could have a long distant relationship, after all, it's cheap to fly in the off-seasons. But how many of you can really say that long distance relationships work? Poll that one for me... I have now missed three session on radio one in a short period of time. I'm almost ripping my hair of my head in anger.Luckly I have really sensitive hair so I don't. Has anyone, by any chance recorded Modest Mouse, Arab Strap, Jim O'Rourke recent sessions? I could trade you good things for them, I got Modest Mouse "Night On The Sun" super super limited Japanese Cd and other funny things. Blah! I am going over to my girlfriends house now to listen to the new Promise Ring Cd, I bought it but she liked it a lot and has had it since the day I got it, it's nice though, I like 'Jersey Shores'. Another good record is the new Stereolab Cd and Roni Size's new project Breakbest Era's debut Cd 'ultra obscene'. bearhugs and butterflykisses, Johan. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Message-ID: <005801befa17$1a192580$51d4b0c2@default> Well, Elliot, you asked for it :) ----------------------- The Reaper by Jason Andreas A silent figure stands alone, Black shroud veiling shining bone, Shadows hover round his frame, He's a hunter - life's the game, Metal glints upon a scythe, He's the Reaper, end to life. Beside his horse of ghostly white, The Reaper looms within the night, Where he'll go, we cannot tell, Perhaps to Heaven - else to Hell, But when it's you he looks upon, You'll soon see oblivion. The Reaper's eyes are blue and cold, Like the stars in days of old, When he moves they both shine bright, As comets in the fleeting night, And when your soul is to depart, That cowléd face shall stop your heart. The Reaper, through, is cold and sad, He thinks of friends he's never had, No family to call his own, Just a dark and empty home, And now he moves with little vigour, For who could love this ghastly figure? His duty now is all that matters, Although his soul is left in tatters, The only choice is to go on, A player with a mournful song, For he's the Reaper made of bone, Condemned forever as alone. --------------- Let me know what you think. -- Jason Andreas -- I don't believe in God, I believe in people.

Message-ID: <19990908204116.35727.qmail@hotmail.com> This is only my 2nd mail as a sinister listee after a three week absence for A-Level induced alcoholic stupors whose haze I am just beginning (unfortunately) to see through. It seems to have come at a rather melancholy time too. I was somewhat jealous of everyone going to ATP as it was never an option for poor skint student me, but I think I can appreciate the disappointment you must all feel about it being cancelled. A bit like building up your expectations about this fabulous girl you've liked for ages, feeling certain that she's giving off positive vibes and that something's going to happen, only for her to ask your advise about which of her many other admirers she should go out with, yourself not included, I suppose. (My Celibate Days are very much continuing). Or maybe not. By the way, Erica and Neil should be thankful not to have got the full run down of my romantic disappointments at Saturday's glorious picnic (as Marcus can confirm). Whatever, my commiserations. (spelling?) As for the picnic, it's a long time ago now and you've all heard Marcus's version of it. Let's just say it was wonderful to meet everyone and not so wonderful smiling apologetically at a disgusted looking family eating in an outdoor restauraunt as Marcus threw up right in front of their family. I guess it was like the end of summer..... I sympathise if you're going back to school/ college, but who knows, it might be fun? As for me, I've got another month before university and I'm terrified. I'm sitting in sunny Cyprus, but the holiday atmosphere has gone. I have to work... A bit of B&S content. Has anyone noticed that Stuart sings 'seven years' of river walkways etc. on 'A Summer Wasting' rather than 'seven weeks' like it says in the lyrics? Surely deliberate? (Or am I just too used to analyzing poems/books too closely for English A-Level/ university). Well, I'm off to bed, Alex (or Crunchie. Some people prefer it) ______________________________________________________ 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".

They have only sorted this out in the last 10 days or so it is not as well advertised as it might be, despite a vigorous flyer campaign conducted by me and a couple of others after Super Furry Animals last night (I have a feeling that not that many of SFA's fans were even slightly interested, but they were remarkably nice to us all the same ). Support is from Brian, who released an excellent LP on Setanta earlier this year. The lads are a bit terrified no-one will turn up so can I just encourage anyone with nothing better to do on Saturday to head to the Music Centre. Worth 9 quid of anyone's money. (Show starts 8.00 sharp as it has to be finished before 10.30).

I'm building myself a new image, since I'm sure that if I hook up with Nas and Puff Daddy I'm going to make some big money. Or maybe not. Anyhow, I'm not so good at this street-cred thing.

But those jeans are comfortable, I tell you that. But I can't even afford Calvin Klein underwear, so it really wouldn't be "true". Bummer about that ATP for you who were going there. BUT: Am I the only one of those who weren't going there that is... sorry, a bit glad it didn't happen?

I ordered it two days ago. What I'm conserned about is the material. Is the shirt more like the Study- shirt or that IYFS- shirt? I kinda like Study- shirt better.

There's no point in any of this writing, I'm just doing this so I wouldn't have to go back to the office. I'm at the Computerclass now. Do you care? Not one bit?

I know it's sad, but it really boosts up my self-confidence. Well, that's about it. Saturday it's TheDuplo! in Tavastia. 6 DJ's, the strangest band in the world (That's TheDuplo! for you) and the first unofficial 1999 Finnish Rock'n roll championships in... Ping-pong. I kid you not. And I have to make an article about that evening to SUE- magazine. Poop, and I wanted to drink too much beer in there. Well, there's always other strange parties I can attend to. And now... OFF!!!

We gave up watching half way through and saw a programme about a crazy Australian bloke with a fat arse being chased by Komodo Dragons. "There's blood in the air, I just grazed me elbow." talking of jokes, here's another; Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker are having a duel with light-sabres. voom! voom! ooh that was a close one! voom! ching! ooh, blimey! Then suddenly, Darth Vader stops, and above the sound of his bellows powered kidneys says; "(ckkksh) Luke, (ckkksh) I know what you're getting for Christmas (ckkksshhh)" Luke looks bemused, then carries on fighting. voom! voom! voom! Then Darth Vader stops again. "Luke" he says again, "I know what you're getting for Christmas" "What do you mean?" says Luke "How do you know what I'm getting for Christmas?" "Luke" he says "I felt your presence" ha ha ha. Do you see? Presence sounds just like presents. he he he. oh. It's a shame about ATPs, but I suppose I'm lucky I didn't buy a train ticket or anything. I think a party in London's a great idea, though. I always thought it was pushing it a bit, having two Bowlies in a year. I think the second was just trying to make some more money after the success of the first, so in a way it's good that it's not on (look on the bright side, eh?). So long as there's one next year. Does anyone remember Struan saying once how he'd tried to organise a concert on a boat, that would stop off at different places, but no-one was prepared to do it? I liked the idea of that. lol p said: "Has anyone noticed that Stuart sings 'seven years' of river walkways etc. on 'A Summer Wasting' rather than 'seven weeks' like it says in the lyrics?

Found several things that might be of interest. Or not. The first was a photo of Keith Richards and John McEnroe watching Monica Seles play tennis at the US Open. They were smiling and I thought how nice it would have been had Mr. P!O!P!kins been able to be there with them. I'm sure he'd have enjoyed it. On the Thai news front, I see that while the rest of the world has concerns about today being 9/9/99, it is an auspicious day for those in Thailand. According to that country's most "sought-after" fortune teller, Attiviroj Sritula, 9 is a good omen and a holy number. ``The figure 9 represents the spike on the head of Rahu (the Hindu god of darkness) which throws a flash of light and represents prosperity,'' he added. Maybe Miss Oon will strike it rich in the casinos today. Lap dancers in Liverpool can now remove their G-strings and dance completely nude. Apparently they can't do that in Manchester. Now they just have to prove over 6 months that they can adhere to national decency laws. Mayor Giuliani of New York City just served on a jury. It seems said jury rejected the claim of a man whose genitals were blistered and permanently scarred in the shower by hot water. ``I have renewed respect for the jury system. I was very much gratified by the experience,'' Giuliani said afterward. I wonder about the gratification part. And a pre-human skull was discovered in a curio shop in New York. Not surprising. Have a nice day sinisterines. I'll try to sleep in later from now on, or at least spare you the news flashes. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

The organization sending the press release was selling special visors for the low, low price of $9.99, to help protect people from the devastating effects of the "raybeams." Unfortunately, my employer declined the request that he purchase them for all of us in the newsroom. It's obvious this company does not care about the safety and well-being of its employees. That's okay. Several of us have opted to wear our own specially-designed tin foil hats/visors today. I don't think the boss is terribly amused. I do love my job. We used to get letters from God on a fairly regular basis, mostly damning people in the media for not heeding his words. Haven't heard from him lately. Guess he's too busy to write. Or the medication is making him a little less vengeful these days. I was always a bit skeptical of those letters, anyway. They were postmarked somewhere in New Jersey. I have a question about this end-of-the-world stuff. If The End is today, what time will it be? Does it have to be 9-9-99 in all parts of the world at the same time? And isn't it already tomorrow in some places? Or still yesterday? Back to work...

It�s shy pop, quite atmospherical, and I know that many you would have a good time l istening to their music. Dean Wareham chose her debut album ("Satellite 99", released in USA by Grimsey) as one of his favorites from 1998. I don�t know how much it�ll cost, but I bet that it should not be very expensive. Here�s the dates: Sept 23 - radio session for KCRW ( L.A) Sept 24 - Los Angeles- Luna Park Sept 25 - San Francisco-The Make Out Room Sept 27 - Chicago - The Hideout Sept 28 - Minneapolis - Bryant LakeBowl Sept 29 - radio session for Radio K (Minn eapolis) Oct 1 - Boston - Sala The Milky Way (supporting ex-Galaxie 500 members Damon& Naomi, in an event organised by Grimsey Records) Oct 2 - Washington DC - Galaxy Hut Oct 3 - Nueva York - Fez Take a chance on her. I�ve been listeninf lately to the Cane 141, than ks to the wise advices of Alasdair Cook. It�s great, sounding more like the Red House Pain ters than B&S.

It�s one step more on the discrimination of the tall people. I almost hurt ny knees in some seats of the buses, my head has hit several kinds of different roofs and now I�ll buy a t-shirt that won �t fit me two months after paying 10 pounds for it.

I saw one episode where he was man-handling a 12 foot venomous snake while telling the viewers "It has enough venom in one fang to kill over 20 humans!" He really is nuts. He's jumped into pirahna infested waters to snatch a sea turtle from the depths, he's used his wife as croc bate on the New Zealand shores, he chased a cottonmouth snake for over a mile through a cornfield, he tried to steal a baby Dingo etc. His tag line always seems to be "She'a a beauty!" or "She's a glamour girl!" almost always followed by "You gotta love it!" as he chucks the animal that almost was his undoing back to the pit where he climbed in and found him.

REQUISITE B&S REFERENCE: On American National Public Radio, there is a show called "Marketplace," which is basically a show about money, stocks and bonds, etc. A couple of weeks a go I caught them playing about 45 seconds of "Looper" while they read the numbers. I'm sure many a day trader were confused by the words "Bunch of Loopers!" I know i was. anyone trying to track down 12" vinyl for B&S, there's a great record store near here that has it all, in big quantities, if you'd like to mail order it, i could pass along their relevant information. nice to "meet" you, all be it in 2-D. I'll submit a picture to "honey" to post for anyone whose interested. Hope to hear from you all.

I don't like this band! That big twat jus 'it me on the 'ead!!" that big twat being a guitarist from mogwai. apparently not everyone was keen to chat with vince, or at least not keen to 'hear' vince chat with everyone. a rather robotic, psychotic ballet dancer kinda man entertained us for the rest of the evening with his hectic interpretations of his feelings(?) (slapping the walls, piroueting, falling into splits) during mogwai's set. i hope he's not there again tonight, cause i was scared of getting knocked over if i got up to use the lavatories. well i've posted more now than i've ever done before, and i'm afraid i've exhausted myself. could be the jet lag, who knows. a grand 'till we meet again' to all those i met in london. i know i'll be back one day, possibly sooner than expected. i'm going home to nap now. bye bye. love debbie xxxxxxxxxxx ______________________________________________________ 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".

Subject: THE DEATH OF A PARTY - AN ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT ALL TOMORROWS PARTIES Date: 1999/09/09 Author: David Kitchen Posting History i've been sent the official announcement on what is happening regarding ATP, and thought considering the rumours are twisting every which way that it would be best to now get this out to everyone and end the speculation. please forward the main message to anyone who you feel it may be of interest to (i.e. ticketholders). --original message follows-- THE DEATH OF A PARTY the rumours have been circulating and unfortunately they are true, All Tomorrow's Parties has sadly been cancelled. no feeble excuses - there was simply not enough tickets sold. this can be attributed to a number of factors - festival fatigue, the requirement of having to buy tickets in groups and the unfortunate timing that many of the main acts are about to tour. we are very grateful to those who worked solidly on the event and for the interest and coverage we received. however we are gutted and genuinely feel for the bands scheduled to play and especially for those who bought tickets. we hope their belief in the need for a platform for music like this still remains. kindest regards all at Foundation.

Yesterday morning I awoke in California but went to bed in Carolina. The wonders of modern day travel. Maybe I should become a stewardess. I can see it now, "Welcome aboard Frontier Airlines. Flight 436 from San Francisco to Denver. To operate your seatbelt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every other seatbelt, and if you don't know how to operate one, you probably shouldn't be out in public unsupervised. In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, oxygen masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask,and pull it over your face. If you have a small child traveling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with two small children, decide now which one you love more." Ahh, well maybe not. I did spend most of the day in a plane or at the airport. Everyone knows that airports are some of the best place to people watch (a favorite passtime of mine). On both of my flights, there were girls my age with infectious smiles. They would rush right off the plane, out of the gate, and into some loved one's arms. It kind of made me a bit jealous as I walked sullenly back with the other travellers with no one to greet them. I started singing the Beatle's "All the Lonely People" (it was them singing in my mind not Joan Baez rendition of the song). But it was entirely sad because my family was waiting for me at the baggage claim. *YaY* So, I spent a lovely 3 hours with them in the van ride home from Atlanta. Oh its so good to be home. Plus, a representative is needed from NC on this list since the last 2 vagabonds were seduced by the lure of money and hightailed it to DC. Didn't JFk say something to the effect that DC is a town with southern efficiency and northern hospitality? Can anyone there verify this statement? I do think that I'd rather drive cross country than fly though. And it would have taken me through the recently released from the nursery ward Josh Baze's Kansas City. I had never heard any part of the midwest called one of the "most beautiful places." In fact, I was with one of my friends a while back and we were looking at a beautiful view over a city. He said, "Just goes to show that there is beauty everywhere. Well, except for the midwest." Hey don't look at me that way, Josh. I didn't say it. I am oh so happy that the art girl is back - and more bitter than ever. I too was beginning to have post withdrawals but now I'm happy to know that she's wreaking havoc on her bike somewhere in Arizona. As they say, "Hell hath no fury as that of a scorned woman." Well, last time I was in Arizona it was hotter than hell so maybe its the place for you to be, LJ. Ok, I'll stop saying not nice things about other people's home. Bad me. Bad me. This is the earth. And this is Laura. You can tell the difference quite easily. One is a lump of inert matter hurtling blindly through the void. The other is - the earth. Oh! Today I listened to all of Tigermilk for the first time today (thanks to my imaginary friend Eric). To think of what I had been missin'! I LOVE it! Especially the second and third song - though I don't know the names of the song yet. Yay - I adore new music. Ok, enough rambling. Down to the whole reason I am writing this post anyway - The Crush List (doesn't it sound like we're in the mafia or something. To the mattresses!). Is there a set of rules somewhere that I missed? I figure that I'm not suppose to vote for a person more than once (well unless I just find them irrestibly charming and cute than I just lose self control. sorry) but is it 'bad' to vote for more than one person? I mean, hello, look at all the great people we have on this list - no one can just like just one! Can sell my crush vote? Should I make a cardboard sign reading, "Will vote for music"? I had some other questions but now I can't think of them. Oh well. What a lousy post. Sorry. *quickly regaining her accent* Laura 'meeting all of your Laura Llew needs since 1977' ______________________________________________________ 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".

Well here I am. Hey, what are the chances of meeting a sinisterite on a plane?? About as much chance as my grandad being in a B+S video, I hear you all cry (well except Alasdair, who instead cries that there's as much chance as me [Alasdair] not being considered dead sexy, or something)! Exactly what I thought, until Wednesday night when who should shout my name as I struggled up the aisle?? None other than Calumn Shearer. What was even more surprising was that he didn't engage any passengers in a competition to win anything B+S related. Phew!!! Many moons ago I mentioned my starring role in a consumer affairs radio programme. Well I have since been interviewed for a top magazine (what, you mean no-one's ever heard of 'Balance' - the magazine for people with diseased pancreases), and have to go for a photo shoot on Tuesday evening!!! I'm hoping to do a series of photos in the style of 'Take a Break' where I'm stood outside the nightclub with a bouncer's foot on my head. Ahem. Apparently there's another girl getting photographed too, so I'm considering the chance that baby oil might be involved and the magazine is actually something that more than a few of you will have bought.

He should be kicked off the list if you ask me... Message-ID: <37D905D2.29FBFFCE@cs.strath.ac.uk> Right, even though Ally To Model Panties has been cancelled (though I may still be persuadable for a bag of chips and a pint of beer) I'm still coming down to ra big smoke. Of course this leads to a small problem in that I will be homeless for most of this time, so if any kind soul has a bed/floor/rat infested basement which I can use for the purposes of sleeping on the Friday, Saturday or Sunday night I'll be your best friend and eternally in your debt. I'm really quite nice, just ask, er....well just take it from me, and I'm no trouble, all I need is a cup of tea and a couple of Pringles in the morning and you can kick me out. Sorry to bore most of the list with this but it seems like the best way of doing things. And for everyone, here's a joke. Q: What do you tell a woman with 2 black eyes? A: Nothing. If she didn't listen the first 2 times she won't listen this time. I'll expect a complaining phonecall from Ben Elton but it made me laugh anyway. See some of you soon.

COME! after the show (which is $6 at the rivoli) i think we'll be heading down to blow up, and i can already see the in-the-know locals groaning and thinking "aww man, blow up? that crap place?" but listen, if you have a better idea, suggest it to us. either way we can just ignore the ickiness that sometimes goes on there, stick to ourselves and have tons and tons of fun. i mean, do you want to go there or do you want to go to the phoenix? i think the choice is easy :) teri +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Message-ID: Hi list, Here's a tip if you're bored - go cut off all your hair (well almost anyway). I mean preferrably let someone more or less professional do the cutting, but it really is a thrill. After six bloody years of long hair I cut it short yesterday (well much shorter anyway) and it's really quite fun. Could be quite dangerous if you get hooked though, I kept telling the hairdresser "take some more", "a little bit more", after a while she had to stop me, I don't think her nerves could take much more. But I still want to cut off SOME MORE!! Next episode: Bald Sinistereens. Anyway, I didn't mean to take up your valuable sinister-time with babblings about hair, really this is a goodbye. After sending this message I'm unsubbing and on Monday I'm moving to Denmark (any Danish listees??). I'll miss all your posts lots, they've really been a nice part of my life the last... hmmm... hmmm... yikes - 17 months. Anybody who wants to fill my mailbox with little pieces of sinisterness will be really appreciated. I'll be using hejhej at hotmail.com for the next year. And who knows, maybe some time slightly more 2000-ish I'll pop up on the list again, if it's still around.

Anyone else willing to take on another refugee in London over the weekend? I don't take up much space. I don't eat much. I promise not to vomit in your flat or anything as despicable and nasty as that. Please? I can bribe you with vodka, and erm, that's about it. Oh, and Alasdair asked: > How comfortable are the park benches in London? Just wondering. The ones in the park in front of Buckingham Palace are quite comfy. And there's pelicans to look at. But don;t try and sleep at the base of Nelson's Column, that's just a little too uncomfortable. Though I may well be repeating that experience if some nice person doesn't offer me a bed for the night. I'm already sorted for Thursday night courtesy of that nice Mr Casarotto, but offers for any or all of Friday, Saturday and Sunday would be most welcome. What else can I say? It was all going so well, I'm getting to stay on at my job, I have a lovely new flat...all I wanted was a bloody holiday. Though really I can't see this being *that* much different from Bowlie, considering the feeble amount of bands I actually saw at the last one, I mean I get to see people and drink lots, and I'm sure it'll be as much fun as Bowlie, and at least in London the pubs won't run out of beer.

I've just emerged from the nursery...charming place it was, but I rather felt like a cabbage patch doll with my body stuck in the ground and my head poking through the top of a cabbage, just waiting for a nice list mummy to come and pluck me out...so here I am at last, all decked out in my B+S t-shirt and Xavier Roberts scrawled across my bum (that'll be a chore to get off!). As you might have gathered by now, I don't have a point, except to say how pleased I am to see that there are other DC listees. I've only just moved here--straight out of college and very frightened--but I will most definitely make my presence known at the next capital city Sinister gathering (you do have those, right?) for I am sad and jealous of all those lucky ducks partying in London. There's still plenty of warm weather left... Ah well, in the meantime, I'll amuse myself with all of your witty and infinitely entertaining letters that I so look forward to. It's a glum day here, but I'm going to go sit outside for a bit. Oh yes, back when I was still trapped in the cabbage, someone sinister mentioned all the tourists in Union Station--well, I work just across the street from there and often spend my lunch hours watching (and laughing at) the throngs of tourists who come and go...an odd bunch, I must say. Yesterday, this woman spent at least five minutes intently videotaping a mob of pigeons fighting over a cracker! Then she taped the lunatic with a trumpet. I have to feel sorry for her, for when she gets home and shows the video to her poor unsuspecting family, she'll undoubtedly hear my friend and I in the background making sarcastic comments about her choice of noteworthy attractions. Here's another hint for all you potential tourists (something they won't tell you in a guidebook): it's not possible to ring the bell outside Union Station, but if you climb up inside of it, you can bang on the inside and make a wonderful racket! oh dear, my first post and I'm already off-topic, I do apologize. I hope everyone has a lovely sunny day, Phoebe ______________________________________________________ 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".

Read it if you fancy odd little books about love, drugs, reality, sex, unreality, incest, and music. *sigh* Only two weeks into the new college semester and I'm already tired of it. Skipped a few days to go on a nice little road trip to Chicago, only to find my internet server had fouled up and all my emails from the last week or so were gone, lost into whatever void all those lost electronic bites go to. So now I know why five of my friends are angry at me for not returning messages. I must agree with several of my fellow american sinisters, we are a bit jealous of all you across the pond and your get togethers. I do feel I must apologize to all the Sinisters in the UK, after waking from a distressing slumber of odd dreams I turn on the television to find Jerry Springer was having a special Jerry Springer UK show. Yes, our Jerry was hosting a special show from London. You give us the Beatles, the Stones, Belle & Sebastian, Shakespeare, John Keats, and all those wonders of english culture...and we give you Jerry Springer. Sorry about that, us poor colonials have yet to find culture. So I was feeling rather in the blue as I prepared to drive up to classes and face the wrath of professors wondering why I had missed half a week of their precious classes when what should come on the radio? "I spent the summer wasting" that's what. Thanks go out to whatever kind soul requested it from the college radio station. Well, after having a good sing along with that I popped in TBWTAS tape I managed to find laying about under my seat. You know I'm not much for dancing but TBWTAS always gets me moving. Played it at a party once and everyone went wild, much dancing and twirling about and I danced to it with a lovely young lady whose name escapes me. I must agree with Anna J, when you're bored cut your hair(course I suppose this is because I fancy girls with short hair), and to Alasdair: dreadful joke, but I must admit it made me laugh as well. Looking at the clock on the wall I see I must trudge out to work, hope all you sinister people are having more fun than me tonight!-Jim a young boy takes a feather out of his mouth +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

I am redfaced to admit that I am new to the world of B+S; just a few short deliriously heavenly months. But what I lack in experience I make up for in passion(urgh I think I said that to my first boi lover!) I am not however redfaced to admit that I madly in love with the band, which i assume is a common occurrence around this way. Just as in any normal infatuation they are all that I think about. the first thought that drops on me from my slumber is B+S. Like the sweaty underarm pong, or sweet perfume of a lover I can almost smell them. Ok so maybe they are merely a surrogate for a real, living breathing touching snogging friend, but godammit this feels like the real thing I just know it! Nobody has ever made me cry such beautiful tears like they do. Nobody has made me feel such orgasmic pleasure as they (figuratively speaking of course). Nobody has danced with me as they. Ok there was that one girlie who would come and visit me occasionally and we would waltz together in a grand Indian ballroom, but strictly speaking she wasn't real, more of a hallucination, or clinically speaking: a psychotic episode manifested by my intense fear of being alone. I am wandering here aren't I? or perhaps my wandering is more revealing, the point of the exercise being... anyways My claim to fame is? I once had a conversation at a party with Karl Smith, singer/songwriter from the occasionally mentioned fantabulous Perth(my home town, that is Perth Australia) band Sodastream. Although this was when he was in the infinitely much more melodious Thermos Cardy. Anyway we spoke about the sad demise of a fanzine called Pigmeat that a friend of my Brother's use to produce. We drank the same beer, we had the same gawky expression on our face. Ok so its not much, but its such a small isolated place and I have so little to work with. Anyways that is me introduced. Will write soon children.

First ATP is cancelled,now my computer is WORKING. The lovely E.A of Toronto knows *MY* record store boy! My mind is blown! A long time ago,he was just about the only thing I would write about on this list.My sin! My soul! This small sinister world never ceases to amaze,I swear,probably next I will find out like 5 of you are my second cousins. I actual wrote this and sent this in a sinister post at one point: from you,my love,records I buy for you to love me,how I try! do not hesitate anymore here is a nice floor and when you ignore me,I cry my cutie works in a record store he's always going behind that back door he looks good in flares he just doesn't care of him i would like to see more Omigod! Why didnt I just wear a shirt that blinked LOSER in flashing lights? I know,I know...guys like girls who are hard-to-get,right? So what am I supposed to do? Call you bitch and knee you in the nads and run off? Is THAT hard-to-get? Have you seen the new GAP commercials? Everybody In Leather! Ha ha!Freaks! They look just plain dumb in that one.The Mellow Yellow one is catchy,but,come on...this? Even though there is no ATP it looks like there is going to be some wild celebrating. How come no one talks about how attractive the band members are anymore? I never seem to tire of it.Recently Arctic Woman asked me what Belle and Sebastian were up to.What ARE they up to? Just think...as I`m typing this,Stuart Murdoch could be arranging his weekly y-fronts, (mondays pair,tuesdays pair,oh look wednesdays is a cheetah print!)Or picking his nose.But he wouldnt do that,would he? No no,not him...I imagine he`s curled up on a couch in silk pjs,settling back with some fine (fancy brand) wine,and a french novel.I imagine Stuart David is sunning himself naked as the day he was born on white beaches in the Bahamas right now.I imagine Mick Cooke doing tai-chi out on the lawn,during the sunrise,while there is still dew on the grass. kiss kiss, genevieve >Genevieve but I'm confused as to which one is you. >Steve C. yup thats me on the right,im the lady in red...dancing cheek to cheek ______________________________________________________ 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: <19990911044625.35742.qmail@hotmail.com> Hi kids, Just taking some furtive steps out of the ol' nursery to say hi. Kind of a dreary friday night here (moan). Been playing tigermilk incessantly since I bought a few weeks ago. I have to limit myself to one listen a day now. I listen to it at work (little touristy variety store) and am still waiting for a fellow fan to wander in. I even leave the album cover on the counter for all to see.... so far no results. Does anyone else do this? Melanie? I'll have to go dig the album out of my to-take-back/give-away/potential ashtray pile of albums. I really couldn't stand it when I got it....but she looked so cute. Anyway, thanks for letting me into your fold everyone (and honey). I love all your thoughts and everything. Yours till Niagara Falls, Nate P.S. Are any of the Toronto Sinisterians heading to the Labradford/Godspeed you Black Emperor! show? Its either that or Cheap Trick for me (no joke,) Cheers.

Hershal thinks it should be at the same place as last time, which is a good thought. i'm just worried about the weather..? well, i was hoping that maybe people who were interested in coming could email me privately at: nogoodnik at att.net and we could get the Party Ball rolling. basically anyone on the east coast, or anywhere, is invited. if you're a sinistar (you know you are) the DC faction will welcome you with open arms. the tentative date right now is October 2 or 3.

Message-ID: <002901befc4e$5f88c4c0$22ccb0c2@default> Hi. I haven't posted here in a long time, as I have nothing hugely interesting to say. Now, maybe I do. I was wondering if any of the Glasgow-based listees (I'm speaking along the lines of Ailsa, Alasdair et al) would fancy setting up a Sinister New-Year bash. It would be a good chance to celebrate the end of that century and the dawning of a new era in the company of people with decent musical taste :) If anybody fancies it, how about mirrored events all over the Globe? I'm turning this over to experienced folks like Ailsa and Alasdair as I haven't got the first idea about how to go about it. Thanks for listening. -- Jason Andreas -- I don't believe in God, I believe in people.

Message-ID: I went to see Guided by Voices and Cheap Trick last night and it was amazing! Mind you I went to see GBV (is Under the Bushes, Under the Stars not the best pop record of the decade?) so Cheap Trick didn't do too much for me, although they really put on the arena rock moves. GBV, however, blew my mind. Rober Pollard got so trashed that he must have thought he was Roger Daltry for a few hours 'cause he kept swinging his microphone all about and doing karate kicks higher than his head (keep in mind he's 45-years-old, overweight, and an alchoholic). They played alot of stuff from their new record that was pretty great, but when they blasted into their older numbers it was so good people had tears in their eyes. I was just in amazement at how much alchohol the man could put back: he almost killed a six-pack and a half during their set alone! When Cheap Trick played Southern Girls, Bob decided to stagger back out and lend his voice to the proceedings, accompanied by a fifth of Jack of course. He has to be the best frontman ever. Rober Plant...eat it. All in all its probably the best rock show I've ever been to, so if you have the chance to see the GBV/CT show PLEASE take advantage of it...you will not regret it! Genevieve you are dead foxy, record store boy should pay for his ignorance. I like the "knee to the nuts" plan of action... The Club Is Open...

There's a waitress there who'll be glad to help. Can I reiterate that I'm as unhappy at the move as anyone, but what we HAVE now is the result of weeks of work, even patching the new sites software to make it more homely for you all, so don't moan :) I'm aware it's much slower at updating for new mail messages and that currently there's a bug-let in the searching part of it, meaning it doesn't find some pages.

Please do tell me if anything else is horribly wrong though. P.S. Still looking for 200MB of advert-free space for the photo galleries with an FTP connection I can push things into from anywhere - kind donations accepted. Lots of people have sent me photos recently which I'll try to put up when the dust settles, but as I said before, if I can't find anywhere for these pages, I'm not sure what to do with them anyway.

They're from Toronto and the song had the words "it's like a definition, it's true, it keeps me coming back to you" or something silly like that...so so catchy it made me tap my feet under the covers at 2 a.m. Heard Holiday Flyer too...sounded like B&S on Prozac?!

I like to fondly imagine Stevie Trousers Tipp-Exing all references to it out of Trousercuts - "the magazine for men who don't have to try too hard". Of course, this will make it even more of a collector's item than it usually is.

Scotland is such a great place to be veg.. i remember Edinburgh being heaven in those terms (and many others) ...and B&S have that little Fox shirt with the anti-hunting slogan thing.. who are the Clydeside Hunt Saboteurs? gone gone gone i've been gone so long. i'm home. love z- _____________________________________________ Free email with personality!

Are you crazy? Its generally damn near impossible to find most screenprinted t- shirts in anything less than L or XL . I've a n umber of tour shirts that i could never wear as they are mumu (sp?) sized and hence unwearable.. I was complaining about the fact the 99% of the merchandise bands that I know have their t- shirts in XL size, and the 1% left are B&S and TGW. For me, It�s perfect that the merchandise is available in S and M sizes (I�ve seen lots of ban ds with M sized t-shirts, by the way), but having to follow a diet for wearing L sizes it�s a big effort, believe me. Arantxa wants to translate the "Factory" magazine article.It would be interesting for the non-spanish listees, but I think (I mentioned it two months ago) that it was quite irrelevant (compared with the "Select" reports), as the journalist makes some kind of essay about his opinions of the Jeepster world, without entering deeply in any band of the label. He writes categorical (is it the right adjective) sentences without any sense ("Stu M. will never get the same list of adjetives that his admired Morrissey knew how to get"), and even puts himself in the main point of the interviews. The one with Isobel is reduced to a few sentences, and says that Stu is a bad educated guy for not wanting to give him an interview and doing it with Chris instead. My public thankfulness to Alasdair for telling me to buy Cane 141�s debut album. It�s really great. Anyone knows good websites about the Red House Painters ?

The night before last I listened to Tigermilk before falling asleep and was struck by how sad the first three songs on what must be the second side of the original LP are - not despair, but the sad feeling when you know you're stuck and really can't do anything. Maybe that should be called despair, too. I moved into this house and so far one of my new roommates is here. He lived in Japan for the past two years, and because I am Asian - though technically, Asian-American, whatever the difference is - I keep on feeling that I should be like one of the girls in Shonen Knife. He has a girlfriend in Japan with whom he communicates via a video contraption attached to his laptop computer. So far we've got along just fine, watching his videos - "The Life of Brian" and "Dr. Strangelove" - both of which I'd never seen before. He cooks and I do the dishes. He's helped me with my computer; with setting up electronic accounts, bank accounts, etc. School starts in about two weeks. I wish they didn't have the person speaking on "My Wandering Days are Over". It makes the song sound clever or like other songs that use similar devices - I think there's one by Suede. It's like contrived chaos. The lines about the circus boy make me think of paintings by Picasso of harlequins and circus people who look so sad and still and rooted to the ground without really belonging anywhere. I don't like the cruelty and lewdness of his later paintings though. It may have been genuine enough, but I guess I'm just not a realist. OK, other people have started coming in, so I guess I'd better stop ...

Who needs boys when you have Rouge Pulp to slick over your lips and sneer "see, I wouldn't waste this on your lips anyway". We also saw the fat one from that horrible r 'n' b group Another Level shifting his meat around soho. That wasn't meant to sound rude. It's just we refer to him as "Meaty level" as he appears to have a very meaty, erm, head. That wasn't meant to sound rude ethier. They're horribly rude those boys, suggesting getting "freaky" with "you-ooh". Whatever that means. Maybe they show you ways in which they are freakish, like a third nipple or extra toe. That's my guess anyway. It's election time in the sixth form! VOTE MACARTHUR. We're making posters this evening, to pin up around the common room my manic smiling head on Maggy Thatcher's body. (everyone is Rich and Tory-ish in these rural, welly and padded gillet-wearing, rifle brandishing areas) - complete with pearls. I've been rallying half-heartedly all day. "Go on, you'll vote for me won't you? I promise not to moan about the increasingly loud jungle/handbag house tapes you play every break and lunchtime"...only minus the promising part. They even do little dances in their chairs, you know, the darling townie boys, raising their arms above their heads, even sometimes making little tooting gun motions with their fingers in time with the beat, occasionally shouting "Tune!". I always feel like proposing a breakdancing contest, but it's hardly the weather for getting busy with the headspins. I can't WAIT for the new issue of Trousercuts. Do you think it will tell me how to get a boyfriend too, PJ? Wearing too much mascara and pouting doesn't seem to be doing the trick at the moment. I can't wait to see you all at the Baxendale shin-dig on thursday - I'll be the one quietly sipping her gin while glancing at her watch every five minutes, as I've got school in the morning, and if I don't leave before midnight my dress turns into rags and my carriage into a pumpkin. That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it. VOTE MACARTHUR! We shall fight them in "The Firkin" and "The Prince Regent" if it comes to that. You know the score - gangs of townie boys and girls in rebok classics and lyrca skirts telling you that you're the weirdo. Fear not brother and sisters - we shall prevail. Live on.

It was from The Narrow Wizard who said this: "Naomi Yang of Damon and Naomi (formerly of galaxie 500) let me kiss her on the cheek after a gig the other week...I was very happy!!!" now i bet that made him feel like one of those high noted basslines she's so good at! Where was this Narrow? In Scotland? I'm guessing. I wanted to see Damon & Naomi and Luna and Terrastock but I held back because I knew I'd be seeing loads of bands at "Absolutely Takingthe Piss" (copywrite Kittencore Katie) but that @:?*&^$! fell thru and look where I am now....wondering how to get Bowlie-cised with my fellow chalet mates without Yo La Tengo in the near vicinity. BTW, if anyone saw Yo La Tengo at the Matador night the other day, that last song they did "Love Power" came from Mel Brooks' The Producers which was on BBC2 over the weekend and is a great film. And it was at the Matador night that I cursed All Tomorrows Parties by nicking a lavishly-colour-photocopied A6 poster which resulted in 100 chalets not being filled. It's all my fault! Sorry. Foward all hate mail to me. Thanks. I'll personally reply to each one with random insults, profanities, and dirty website addresses. Don't worry, the dirty websites are free, but if you pay me I can get some good pics of erm, Sarah Michelle Gellar (!) in the nuddy *wink wink* And likewise I'll swap those pics for any nice Katie Holmes pics. Yours sincerely, Amos PS I got 15 questions right in University Challenge tonight. (for people not familiar - its an inter-university quiz show, and what a thrilling match we had today where Newcastle just pipped Warwick in a tiebreak by knowing the correct type of bear to wander around some part of america.

Message-ID: <19990913215537.50105.qmail@hotmail.com> Well, I've been dreading this day for awhile now. Returning to work and university in the same day after five months of summer laziness. I had to get up at 5am, which I haven't done in, well...I've never had to get up that bloody early before. The birds weren't even chirping yet. The sun wouldn't rise for another two hours. I got to the pool (my...erm...place of employment for almost five years now) and was calmed by the weird serenity of the motionless pool surface. I had to turn on the fake smile early, when not even two minutes into the earlybird lane swim a patron cmoplained that the buoy line was bouncing too much and making her dizzy. I didn't think it was the line...but I told her I'd see what I could do. After that I had the pleasure of watching a group of 75 year olds dance around the pool attempting 'aqua-fitness'. I didn't know whether to laugh (just picure it...old people...dancing...bathing suits) or cry cause they were all probably more fit than me. I could just barely lift my arm to politely cover my yawns all morning. Five hours of watching people drag themselves back and forth through the water followed. Adding to that excitement was a terrible/painful sound track. A city mix station, barenaked ladies, guns n roses, goo goo dolls and the likes. That's all we're 'allowed' to have on. But alas, I'm off to my first uni class of the year and then on to Godspeed Your Black Emporar. I'm sure they'll erase all memories of today. Unfortunately they're not playing 3 times a week for the next five months. boo. How will I survive all this? *sigh* I just don't know........ debbie xxxxxx ______________________________________________________ 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".

Oh yes, I am new to the list and mightily excited at the prospect of it. ME & B&S I like to play B&S in my workplace, on the off chance that someone will come in and recognize them and I shall have found a new friend in my city. Actually I have only had one person comment about the music. Scene: Icecream shop with just me working I answer politely to her order of waffles and say in my best shopgirl voice- "would that be take-away?" The lady answers "well, it will be if you don't turn the music down" I reel back in horror, mouth open, and reply: "Right, take away it is!" Actually that last part is a lie. Its what I would have said if I had thought of it and been a little more agressive, I was more shocked by the fact that someone could openly detest B&S, I mean I have friends who are indifferent (Oh! they will be converted yet) but no one can despise them, can they? In reality I stepped back, turned it down a touch, then gave her the order and promptly turned the music back up.I also made sure that everything I gave her was burnt and small. I mean I can accept that others don't like some of my music, but to openly be rude about it in a shop when I'm there for 6 or 7 hours and she's there for all of 10 minutes was just too much to take. Well whats the etiquette on that? So the moral of this story is that if you're ever walking past an icecream shop with B&S playing then stop and go on in and say something like "Hello Helen" and I shall give you wondrous amounts of icecream for free (screw my employer he's a bastard)Actually my sole purpose for working there is to give away as much stuff as possible. Kind of like a icecream robin hood. I can also make these claims with the knowledge that the chances of any of you walking past my shop in Perth ( of the Australian variety) are rather small. Oh but there was one post the other day from spencer. Wow there's two of us in Perth! Stranger things have happened... like that horse becoming Pope :) Sorry about the length but I feel totally justified in having a big rant as this is my first post.

Message-ID: <594738bc.250f288e@aol.com> Ugh, I found out today that 1/2 of the band that I've been playing in for the past 3 years wants to part ways. Its been coming for quite sometime now, and I must say it is a bit of relief not having to wonder anymore, but the nonchalance with which they ended it kind of upsets me. I mean, we played alot of shows, put out a record and got picked to be on some Maryland band sampler and in the end it still petered out all the same. Its alright though because for the past couple of months I've been playing with a much quieter band and I really like what we've been doing so far. I'll keep you posted... I've been working much overtime so as a result I have more money to blow on CDs in the very near future and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions they're willing to share? I'm thinking of picking up the new Marine Research and/or the new Rachel's. Has anyone heard the new Louis Phillipe record? I'm finally going to pick up the VUs greatest hits and My Bloody Valentine, but other than that its a blank slate and I hope you'll help me fill it in... Can any Glasgow listee do me a tremendous favor and put in me in contact with an Ian from your fair city? He's visiting the states til the end of this week and I lost his number to his Virginia vacation house. He's a cheery little chap with a mullet and girlfriend named Mona or Simone or something or other. He plays in a band in town as well, and he said they once opened for Golden Rodeo. If you could put me in touch with him in any way shape or form I'd thank you forever. I guess people could be thinking of much worse things than sex, although I have to agree that thinking of sex whilst getting none is hell on earth. Thats one of the few things were the having is better than the getting...oh well.

I know, you've probably read about this in some "I Can't Believe That Kind Of a Funny Thing Is Actually Happening In This Universe"- section on your local newspaper, but let me refrain your memory. We have, like, a major problem here in this town. Yes, we have a few homeless people living in here too, but why the f��� should we use our taxmoney on improving their life? No way. So, here's what the citycouncil came up with: They are going to hire undercover agents who will fine all those people who pee on the streets/in the park/in public. Ok, that's fine. But actually paying money to people so they can legally check out if you're weeweeing? Erm... When you're, say, 16 years old (which I was 6 years ago, so don't even think I'm talking about myself now) and you have to go to the loo when you're hanging with your friends somewhere in the middle of Helsinki, you cant't. See, the agelimit to the pubs in here is 18. So they can't go in. So they have to find some not so public place and... you know. And if the local Inspector Gadget shows up, it's a bad thing, since he will fine you 100 mk (around 11�). So there you have it. Thought that might amuse you, since you're not here. I'll keep you updated. Next time: Teenage masturbation. Will our nation survive? @--->--- Jarkko F, Jake. ______________________________________________________ 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".

I wasn't even going but I hate to see The Sinister Nation let down. I went to a Dead Posh Party the other day. It was at the house of one of the govenors of HSBC (The High Street Banking Corporation, I believe), and to this day I don't know why I got invited. Free booze, though. It was ace, they had ice sculptures that dispense free cold vodka! I borrowed my mate Joe's slightly ill-fitting tuxedo (ta Joe) and got really really drunk. I even had a big old drunk argument with one of my best friends, and I *never* argue with people. Specially friends. Have I mentioned how I think that drink makes you into a different person entirely and excuses all the bad things that you do whilst drunk? I have now.

I WISH. now i ahve the independent film channel, i get to see lots of nudity. (WWWWOOOO!!!) it's a double edged sword though as you can imagine. the hunt saboteurs, i guess is self explanatory, they generally go to fox hunt occasions and fuck s*** up, rabblerousers you could say, the're totally fab as far as i know. i think i had a dream about foxes now i think of it, baby foxes yeah.... *****pretend the naked man is not there********........*******you can do it...********* i think a while back, someone on the list said something about she was walking down teh street, and everything started to seem unreal. i dont' recall who it was but i meant to say something. cos that happens to me all the time, rather often. usually when i'm like sitting with other people and i get distracted. i hear the voices, but in my head it's like i drift off, and i forget who i am and why i was there, then when i'm back in a second i like shake myself trying to remember what was going on, it's like almost an out of body thing. i dotn' really knwo what it is but i've always had that. yeah you can lock me up, awright. i miss my gentle waves tape, i can't listen to the record and i have lost the tape of them in london so no gentle waves for me, it's very sad. if i ever become attracted to boys at any time, i hope its someone like struan, confident enough in his humanhood, and not afraid to be girly and sensitive, a true man of the 90's ern't he. a real genteel lad. howard stern should take some lessons. Sick Boy, is that it?? wow a dead baby, that's pretty weird, jeezus. but the accents sure is pretty, i'm very jealous of the Scots. is that one guy the guy from those CK ads or whatever, the goofy one? my new friend is a shy girl like me, she doesn't do drugs and is vegan and virginal and she will seem quiet but with a bit of light attention can discuss philosophy and stuff at length, it is a relife to talk to someone who doesnt' think i'm strange for preferring quiet coffee shops to loud tequila-swilling parties. really i should have learned by now, after having my heart broken a couple times, to stick to my own species. not that this girl is a love interest, just a friend. she's only bi curious er whatever, and all be fucking damned if i get into that ever again..... back to expressing my bitter heartbreak, love to yall LJ http://members.tripod.com/rebelstrange to the pure, all things are pure--- http://members.tripod.com/rebelstrange/buxoms.html ***The Buxoms: Svengali-free since 1998!!*** ______________________________________________________ Sent by FortuneCity Mail at http://www.fortunecity.com Join now and receive 20Mb of free web space and E-mail +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Is this the latest thing in .ca? My mum's in Canada at the moment, at the film festival I suppose. Torontonians - if you get the chance, go and see "A Room for Romeo Brass", cos apparently it's brilliant and I work with the writer and he's a sweetie. The thought of Scotland being vegetarian is...unusual. I, for one, couldn't get enough of the lorne sausage and black pudding, and have some sitting, imported, in my freezer to spring on unsuspecting guests. And if anyone tries to tell me what they put in black pudding, they'll get a thick ear and no mistake. Life of Brian, wooo - possibly my favourite film ever? If, by this comment, you assume I have little interest and even less taste, you'd be right, but I have got a degree in film studies (among other things), so that thick ear will quickly turn into a cut lip and a bruised cheek before you know it. Shit, Newcastle beat Warwick in University Challenge? Gosh darn it, we used to be so GOOD. I got told off once for cheering when the badge of Wimbledon FC was flashed up on screen (this is in the studio - took a day out in Manchester to see the filming, cos I'm that cool). But the best bit was a conversation between Paxman and a girl in the audience who, as was clear to everyone in the room except the pugilistic presenter, was mentally ill. He asked if anyone had been to watch the show before, and her hand shot up - she'd been 12 times! He congratulated her, and then said jovially "keep taking the medicine". Deathly silence. Rather funny, really. Hmm. You had to be there. Lauren is crossing her legs at her lack of action...why don't my friends phone me and discuss their sex lives with me any more? Is it cos we're old buggers? Yes. PJ Miller wrote You bad bad boy Mr Miller. You nearly gave me a heart attack. Don't you *dare* do that again or I'll kick your arse. I will. p.s.

And now to learn that there are other vegans and vegetarians out there with tastes similar to mine, i don't feel so lonely in the world. Really though... isn't it strange that there are thousands and thousands of groups out there, but for some of us only Morrissey and B&S will suffice when it really comes down to it? and the fact that a large percentage of us tend towards compassionate lifestyles? i guess what i'm trying to say is, despite the fact that i'm from rural Texas and we're all a bit geographically seperated, i still feel a connection with my fellow Sinistereens. (p.s. what will we do if these guys break up? I can't stand another void. We must form some sort of sinister insurance plan. any ideas?)

Message-ID: <11020643E71FD311ACAA0008C7C563F3E8983C@gblon1c3ex1.wcom.co.uk> Shit! I missed University Challenge last night - I didn't even know it was on. I was busy polishing my shoes (am I the only person in the world who still bothers with this thankless task?). I am now in the depths of despair. My superiority in terms of correct answers is yet to be beat, except by my Dad (who is a Brain), but it's the start of the season and I need a bit of practice. The only ones I can't get are sciencey and mathsy, but I still take pot-shot guesses and get the odd one right. My best score so far is 31 in a single programme - I hereby lay down the gauntlet to anyone who reckons they can top that. Talking of laying down the gauntlet, il signor Casarotto threatened violence against anyone who spake of the ingredients in black pudding. BLOOD AND GUTS - come and have a go, if you think you're hard enough! My my, I'm quite the pugilist today. Must be the fact that I HATE, HATE, HATE my job, but they've just gone and offered me permanent work with the company. I'm thinking of selling my soul - I reckon I could wangle a fair bit of cash out of them - but is it worth the stress, long hours and loss of the career path I so eagerly mapped out for myself when I left Uni last year? While idly browsing through the crush list, I notice somebody has voted for me. Oh, poor misguided creature, you! You obviously have never met me in the flesh. I can't wait for all the exciting things happening in London at the weekend. It's very good timing, as my dear friend Mo is coming across from Italy to go to Leeds Uni for the year, but she's coming to London on Thursday to visit me before heading north. I'll try to find another shop selling fortune cookies before the picnic. In fact, I was thinking of bringing along only food with messages on - are Love Hearts a bit too girlie and cute? Actually, I can't think of any other message food that would be suitable for picnics. Alphabetti Spaghetti is a bit messy. Cold Alpha-bites have the texture of cardboard (this is the voice of experience speaking). Maybe I could make fairy cakes and ice messages onto the top of them. Then I can make them as rude as I like. As regards alcohol, the only message is "Don't do it, kids!" (only joking) Must go and get some lunch. There's a place round the corner with rabbit stew on the specials board - yum yum!

I had devoted in the past some time to think about why circus atmosphere is so gloomy and makes me feel so depressed. Circus has never been enjoyable for me,not even as a kid, and probably it is related to that 'unrootedness' it oozes.It is unfair beggars and vagrant poor people had never touched me so deeply, though people working in fairs and selling sweet pop corn and so on have the same effect on my guts.Probably i just feel more moved because their way of life embbedds somewhat romanticism , all that stuff about providing joy for others, and my 'mythomaniac' side reacts as very impressed ( Sorry about 'mythomaniac': i know it doesn't mean the same in English, but maybe someone can find the equivalent expression when reading this and suggests me to use it, please!) University Challenge makes me react too.On one side, I am amazed how unliterate and rough I am after 20 years in full time education; on another side, I basically become a psycho killer if Jeremy Paxton is at sight.Some bloke in my department named Ben Hickman is going to participate for Nottingham.I know he would have loved to attend Oxford or Cambridge and he was rejected, so I reckon it would be his revenge to win Trinity at the very final, but that only happens in Hollywood... Any clues on which programms are B&S' folks favourites? Last week I read about Arab Strap and the Pastels' ones.I just remember they liked East Enders! Has anyone a picnic basket to borrow?

But sincethis show was cancelled, she is in London with nothing to do. If anyone can suggest things to do, as well as hostels which are recommended.. or really anything of suggestion at all i would dearly appreciate it. and does anyone know of Baptiste, the band? I heard they won't be playing since they are looking to replace a member.. possibly the guitarist, but if anyone knows otherwise please tell.:) thank you. esme +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

"Oooh yes, he's a lovely boy. Reminded me of that nice bloke off the telly, Jeremy Paxman." I think this is a compliment in the mind of a middle aged mother. At least I hope so. Oh dear this isn't doing much for my list crush votes. Someone once said I look like Colin Firth, though. I think people have very little imagination when it comes to fellows with curly hair. One of my friends, who is incidentally heterosexual, nearly got gay-bashed the other day when a bunch of Addidas boys ran after him shouting "Cocker Knocker". Ah, the delightful fauna of suburban Britain. I wonder what Jarvis would think of becoming a piece of rhyming slang. That's status for anyone. I, like most people, had a dark fear of clowns when I was little, especially Ronald McDonald. Ronald's looking a little porky nowdays isn't he? Anyway, Mister Murdoch reminds me of a travelling trapeze artist with the funny clothes he wears, and that crazy Kids From Fame hat. Trapeze artists are okay, and that moustachioed man who puts his head in the lion's mouth. Although someone really ought to stop him, one of these days he could have a nasty accident. Errr... Um...

Message-ID: <11020643E71FD311ACAA0008C7C563F3E89859@gblon1c3ex1.wcom.co.uk> Shit! I missed University Challenge last night - I didn't even know it was on. I was busy polishing my shoes (am I the only person in the world who still bothers with this thankless task?). I am now in the depths of despair. My superiority in terms of correct answers is yet to be beat, except by my Dad (who is a Brain), but it's the start of the season and I need a bit of practice. The only ones I can't get are sciencey and mathsy, but I still take pot-shot guesses and get the odd one right. My best score so far is 31 in a single programme - I hereby lay down the gauntlet to anyone who reckons they can top that. Talking of laying down the gauntlet, il signor Casarotto threatened violence against anyone who spake of the ingredients in black pudding. BLOOD AND GUTS - come and have a go, if you think you're hard enough! Mmmmm, I'm quite the pugilist today. Must be the fact that I HATE, HATE, HATE my job, but they've just gone and offered me permanent work with the company. I'm thinking of selling my soul - I reckon I could wangle a fair bit of cash out of them - but is it worth the stress, long hours and loss of the career path I so eagerly mapped out for myself when I left Uni last year? While idly browsing through the crush list, I notice somebody has voted for me. Oh, poor misguided creature, you! You obviously have never met me in the flesh. I can't wait for all the exciting things happening in London at the weekend. It's very good timing, as my dear friend Mo is coming across from Italy to go to Leeds Uni for the year, but she's coming to London on Thursday to visit me before heading north. I'll try to find another shop selling fortune cookies before the picnic. In fact, I was thinking of bringing along only food with messages on - are Love Hearts a bit too girlie and cute? Actually, I can't think of any other message food that would be suitable for picnics. Alphabetti Spaghetti is a bit messy. Cold Alpha-bites have the texture of cardboard (this is the voice of experience speaking). Maybe I could make fairy cakes and ice messages onto the top of them. Then I can make them as rude as I like. As regards alcohol, the only message is "Don't do it, kids!" (only joking) Must go and get some lunch. There's a place round the corner with rabbit stew on the specials board - yum yum!

Yeah, I figured trying to pinpoint one Ian in the midst of Glasgow was well nigh impossible but I figured I'd give it a shot because he said he had some friends on Sinister (though he is not himself) and he came to the Mogwai show with an English Sinister listee, whos name I know not. I would imagine he was about 22 or 23 at the oldest because he was nursing a beer at the club but he looked quite young really. Other than that I know nothing. He posted his number to the Meet-Ups page on the Jeepster site awhile back but unfortnately it has since been deleted. Oh well...I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Bucky Fellini is on the list? Rad!

I've forgotten most of it by now of course, but in the course of the epic ode - Stuart ended up going to Abergevanny to have sex with a hairy coo (scottish for "cow" of course!), and ended up talking to it about days of yore - "when lasses were comely and the populace were poor". Its best I've forgotten it really isn't it? Megan I am not in the big city (of Kingston, Surrey) just yet. But I will be on Saturday. So I might come along to some of that afternoons festivities. It'll be my first time at Tigerwanking. I'm only going to hear Kevan play 'Agent Double-O-Soul', of course. Oh, and also, I think Black Box Recorder are the stinkiest pieces of purple bird poo on the clean glass window of Pop since flipping TRAVIS thought "hey guys, lets have a JAM SESSION!"! I hate The Jam too. Sorry. NO I AM NOT SORRY. They're shit. Ha! About Pedro Juan Gutierrez, Peter Disco, I am thinking of buying his NOVEL, called "King of Havana". If it is a euphemism for his willy, it would be good too. Like "Mr Big" is obviously all about willies too. I'd try and be clever and read Gutierrez in Spanish, but testing my Spanish skills today, I realised I don't know the Spanish for "dick", or "nob", or "smut". I am useless. I did buy a BBC Teach Yourself Italian 33rpm record though. Its got some people who look rather hip on the front. I'm going to put the record sleeve up on my wall. Erica - I would VOTE MACCAURTHUR (or however your name is spelt), except that I refused to have any dealings with NUS/student representatives after they fucked us all over last year. But if you DO organise a breakdancing contest, you got me. But don't ban Firkin pubs. You can get a pint of horrific Dogbolter ale (as was previously mentioned I think) for about 83p. Its shit. But tolerable. And I am ever so poor. Ah Lesley Jo my good pal. You just wait till you see Diane from trainspotting in the "remarkable anti-perspirant" advert for...some deoderant I've forgotten the name of. Its strong. Like a woman! Like one of those huge weightlifting girlies. And hey! You've lost your Gentle Waves tape! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I know its hard...but you're better off without it. I will send you a tune by Kahimi Karie which I have been whistling all day instead. It is much better. Mail me if you want it. "Better than Broccoli", says the St Annes Evening Gazette. living and largin' (it) Sarah xx Matthew I am sorry I made the Throw Isobel Off the Bridge joke when you had made it before.

Though not cos of any resemblance to Jonny lee miller..i think it was actually because i am sick. Sinus infection, i think. Vicks products are so good for the ailing. As regards moments in life seeming to be like movies, i get the feeling that what is happening is a story, and i'm looking at it from the perspective of a reader, and i wonder what's going to happen to the "characters" next. Then i blink and realize that everything that occurs is occuring to *ME*, a real person, and the decisions i make have consequences, not like a book or a movie... i know this is horribly boring for you all. I'm sorry. Anyone seen the new Matador 10 year anniversary CD? I know we all discussed belle and sebastian being on this already... but in the liner notes for CDs put out by Matador, they have a TBA belle and sebastian compilation, due out 12-5-2000. My question is this: shouldn't the record company itself be mentioning this, not Matador? i would think our lovely representatives at jeepster would have told us this already, if it was a "done deal" Also, does anyone know when the new Looper single will be out? I'm unable to use the net right now and can't check the websites. Who thinks that Y2K will delay Belle and Sebastian's new CD? lunar lullabye dave +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

They left so many unanswered questions after Loveless, and they really should've told us where they were going by now. Maybe they were just scared that Loveless was so good and they knew they'd fallen behind and couldn't top it ... so they disappeared into permanent hibernation? Who knows? Kevin Shields remixed Yo La Tengo's Autumn Sweater, which is one of my most recently-discovered things of beauty, so there's something there, still.

Message-ID: <19990914225122.99768.qmail@hotmail.com> Greetings from the beautiful south (the place not the group)! Its been a weak since I've been home and its quite lovely here. Though, I am quite disheartened that I was not able to meet any sinisterines while I was in Utah and N. Cali. Angelic Alyssa Marie, Dreamy Dan Hooper, and Thrillin Tom Y. all seem to be quite charming in their own little way. Why Dan even plays the mandolin. I've never heard the mandolin (or the lute for that matter). Oh, but today I had an afternoon full of the fiddle. Ahh Mark O'Connor Jean Luc Ponty, Stephane Grappelli, Benny Thomasson and Charlie Daniels. It was marvelous! Oh, how I do love stringed instruments. Well, enough rambling. I'm trying a new thing out with my posts. That is to *drum roll please*.... actually, having a purpose in them. Yes, I do have a reason for posting. Don't everyone fall over from shock all at once now. Good thing you're already sitting down. But I have a favor to ask of y'all. And its a lot easier than the last favor asked of you all to sacrifice your first born. Boy, was that a bloody mess! This one is simple. Since being home, I haven't been up to much. Well, except for taking care of my father who just had his leg amputated. Other than being gopher girl for a few weeks, I have my time to myself and its wonderful. I've never been one for lacking to find something to do that amuses me. So, there is no way I'm bored at all. One of the things that I'm estatic to have time to do is to read. Oh how I love books! But there are so many to choose from. So, I was wondering if each of you (yes you right there) could e-mail me (personally. oh honey would have my hide if you mailed the list. Far be it from me to do anything that would make honey sneer at yours truly) with the title and author of your favorite book(s). You can send just the name or you can even tell me a little about it. Whatever. Its just that I know (or hope) that everyone has had that experience of reading a book that has really touched them, filled them with joy, or inspired them to higher levels (like doing your laundry). Something that you have read that you think everyone should be exposed to. I, personally, like to read everything. Though, I do prefer classics over John Grisham recycled plots with the static elements of a young lawyer and the city of Memphis. Picky of me, I know. I'll compile the list of books and then have a great selection to choose from. And of course, I'll be happy to share the end product with any other listerines. I figure that since you all have such wonderful taste in music it must overflow in your reading material as well. So e-mail me and I'll keep everyone up to date on the progress of the Laura Llew Literary List of 99. It'll be great fun. Also, is there anyone in the south besides Bashful Blake on the list. In October, I'll be a roadtrip maniac going to Greensboro, NC the first weekend, Northeastern Virginia the second weekend, and Columbia SC the third one. I don't know how plausible it is for any meetups but still it would be good to know other people who are in this area. Anything is possible - just not mathematically probable. *quite proud of myself for writing a purposeful, even if it does have horrific grammar, post* Laura 'filling all of your Laura Llew needs since 1977' ______________________________________________________ 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: <00b801beff49$8e3b50a0$0100007f@oemcomputer> Esme asked about Baptiste (the pop band). Well, I went to puny-versity in Naaarch (Norwich, to most, except kissing cousins) with Wayne, the lead singer. He lives in London, Ealing in fact (just moved). By chance I saw him recently at Uncle Bob's Wedding Reception, the first time in a long time. I've lost the ability to contact him directly, but I believe his parents can be contacted on (0181) 845 3151. Unless they've moved or something. I'm sure they would be delighted to update you with all the happenings of the boy band (plus a new chick I believe). If you end up speaking to Wayne himself. Tell him to contact me here somehow (or don't if you make his mummy and daddy cross). If you snog him, he'll like it too. Glad to help.

I was slightly worried about mentioning the word 'picnic' to them in the same sentence as 'Belle & Sebastian', but they took it all in their stride - even sounded enthusiastic. They said that they'll take a stereo along, put the Jesus & Mary Chain on and that'd be ok. I'll take a Bette Davis & the Balconettes compilation tape along in case things get *too* twee :). Is anything happening Friday daytime? Does anyone fancy some sort of pre-poetry cafe meet/piss-up? Was listening to the Lucksmiths on the way to the laundrette last night and very nice it was too. My housemate let me borrow his cd walkman thingy in exchange for washing his pants. I've also been listening to the new Tindersticks album loads too - their best yet, IMO.

Thailand must be a very strange country indeed. Older listeners will recall that I once got a letter written on a child's birthday party invitation. Oon has written to me on a small piece of paper with a picture of her dinner in the top corner. And I've always wanted a pissing boy. I put the paper in the bag with the pissing boy, but the the pissing boy pissed on it, so now it's all blurred. Pam and Mike have plied me with pop and publications. This is splendid, splendid! Unfortunately, my gramaphone has gone to the mender's, but it should be back on Friday. And the band played believe it if you like. But anyway, thank you, thank you and thank you. "What strange friends you've got" said Mrs Sister Disco. "Yes, and the worst part is, I've never even met them" I replied. I see the original Mad Dog's out of prison. Perhaps we should let him have his name back. I thought Mad Dog had been shot in a phone box ages ago. Perhaps the paper's got it wrong. Welcome to the world Lennon Gallagher! I'm an Englebert Humperdink fan myself. Also, thanks for the Astor Piazzolla information. The other day I came across a character called Paul the Deacon. Have I mentioned that already? I think it was during my lost weekend. Mark, is your mum coming to the San Sebastian film festival? More films than you can shake a stick at, and loads of poncey people poncing about. Where else can you watch a 240 minute television documentary series in one sitting? Are "The Foxgloves" Chris and Tim? If so, they should change their name to "Christopher Timothy", get a few old biddies in. My mum says books are a fire risk. I think there's a song in there somewhere.

It does concern other things like: how the hell did I get to number 4 on the listcrush? I know that one of my friends voted me on my computer, when I was looking at the vote standings, then turned away. Did anyone else vote? Does anyone luuuv meeee? sob, sob, sob :) Ahhhh. I feel that certain people are being misrepresented on the vote front. Who the hell are scarlet and genieve and certain other people? I don't remember them from before the summer, and I sure as hell don't remember recieving an introduction. And where are the beloved stalwarts of the list of olde, such as Ailsa (who has 2 votes, but desrves many more) and trousers, and honey and Alastair? It has all gone wrong. Oh, it has. I have been tryinmg to get in contact with the band, for reasons that no-one can know yet, and was told that they shall emerge from a summer hibernation in the recording studio in about 10 days, at which time they will get back to me. When does the new E.P. come out. Oh, my, isn't little mel c so punk! with her leather trousers, and her "touch me and I'll kill ya" hair cut. She has to learn that she cannot escape her kappa slappa doyss of old, her townie personna. daft bitch. baby chris CRYSTALBALLS ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

This never happens on the Insane Clown Posse list, I can assure you. They're all into "Strike it lucky". And Lou Bega fans can't get enough of "Who wants to be a Millionaire?" Talking of Lou Bega, has anyone noticed him namechecking half the female population of Sinister on "Mambo Number 5"? Erica, Sandra, Pamela, Jessica, Piezo-electric Unit...he loves them all. Lou just loves the ladeez. And what's wrong with that? I love the ladeez too. Errr..."Boneboy" wrote about the Make Up. I was listening to them only yesterday, and they really are the toppermost of the poppermost. I wonder when they'll be coming to the shores of Blighty, Manchester specifically. Manchester's crap these days. Bands don't play no more, too much fighting on the dancefloor. You see the tour dates and they all go to Leeds instead. Just because they've got a bloody Harvey Nicks in Leeds. Bands love Harvey Nicks, these days, I read it in OK magazine. Kino Korner - Our Wumpkinny and I went to see "Go" the other day and it was really rather good. But are American raves really like that? They seemed almost....dare I say it...twee. Maybe this will inspire massed narcotic necking at the masterfully arranged "Sinisters are doing it for themselves" events this weekend. I do hope so. Picture the scene, if you will.

Well done everyone. My boss is making none-to-subtle hints about me having to work this weekend but so far I've pretended not to hear and have disappeared to the coffee machine whenever he's slipped into Press Gang mode so with any luck I'll finally be able to attend a Sinister picnic. I'm quite excited about this but I'm also worried that the shyness monsta might rear it's ugly head and make me chicken out as I really don't know anyone on the list (you're all lovely though - honest) and so far no one has taken up my "do you want to go to a picnic with a load of B&S fans....oh it's on Primrose Hill and it might just rain" invitation. What I guess I'm trying to say is, are there any other picnic newbies out there who want to meet up for a pre-picnic drink to build up some Dutch courage and to discuss important issues such as; * exactly how to recognise a sinister picnic when you see one (in case the Offspring mailing list also has a Primrose Hill gathering planned for Saturday). * how many upside down B&S badges can someone wear without seeming obssesed. It seems like the start of a good idea so if anyone's interested please mail me.

Message-ID: <000701beffb5$35585f20$e29293c3@GI.NET> hello all, well, I had a wee read of NME today, and there is a strange picture of Isobelle in it. She is sitting at her cello but she has these huge earphones on, made me laugh. Before you all go out and buy NME, you should know that Johnny Cigs calls B&S a bunch of twats, so lets not bother. Seems to be a bit of a trend in the NME after last weeks Thrills taking the piss out of Bowlie and B&S. It takes me a while to respond, but there was some talk on this list, about B&S on telly programmes. Well, I can remember TBWTAS being used as background music on the BBC travel program when they were riding some camels in Egypt, it must have been about 6 months ago though. Ok, like I said, nothing too interesting.

See, there is/was none that I know of, and that's why I thought it would be time - for those idle surfers and beneficiaries of free uni net access - to set up this webring. As said before, in no way is it strictly B&S. Anybody can link up - sites on inarticulate French films (Louis de Funes, anyone?), those countless Roolz/Droolz wannabe tribute bands (There's one making the rounds here in Holland called 'We Breakz the Roolz'. Sad, actually...), the Tottenham Tiddlywink Association... Anyone. OK, I think you get the idea. I'd also like to thank Marcus for making me laugh - snorting right through my nose - at his capers with those wacky IRA geezers. London kills me. Yes, indeed. And I do threaten to visit short-ish in the near future. If only to find out where Esther Rantzen buys her lipstick.

I had considered senidng this mail with a personally designed 'Vote Macarthur' backdrop, but then I realised that HTML mail was banned and recalled how my art teacher told me she would be supportive and understanding if I didn't wish to take art any further; not the typical actions of one trying to fill a GCSE course. Anyway Erica's tales of common room woe bear a certain affinity with mine except my townie gang like to mellow down to the sounds of the 'Colour Scene; any abbreviations are intended as an ironic parody of the abodminable Steve Lamacq as opposed to an indication of idolism. I was also sorry ot hear of Marcus' contininuing vicisstitudes (sic) and seeing as we have such a close relationship I have been trying to ponder why he suffers from such misfortunes. I don't really have much to report from the wonderful county town of Essex, as nothing really happens around here. I was though shocked to hear that one of the lower college who has so far showcased horrific merchandise originating from, in descending order of mediocrity, Placebo, the Manics and the Smashing Pumpkings has apparently decided to takeover my hallowed music section in the the college magazine. I am now beginning to wonder whether reviewing Low and Fridge, as well as doing an article on Love was taking the elitist indie thing a little too far. By the way I was shocked at Sarah's appalling condemnation of Black Box Recorder the other day. My state of disconsolance was heightened by EA's inability to sum up the gal to mention me by name in her mail; after all we've been through have we sucummbed to this? Hopefully in this mail I have rectified the problem noticed by an attentive sinisterine, you know who you are, that my last mail was sent in the golden year of 1998. For those of you vaguely interested, ie none of u, the reason for this mistake is that I was using a programme known as 'Talking E-Mail' to learn how to pronounce words I'd read in books and the system date had to be overide the shareware restrictions. Sadly this is all true. Anyway I have been pondering whether to make an appearance at the celebrations organised to mourn(Marcus is this a paradox?) the death of ATP, which I wasn't attending anyway. I have been pioneering my own test based on the classic Smith's tune (well kind of, whether the Smiths wrote tunes has been contested by many close friends) 'How Soon is Now.' It involves progressing through certain questions to test your state of mind before travelling and whether the event will fit into certain category: so ask yself: Do I feel as though I am the ayr to a shyness that is criminally vulgar? - well often yes, but I'm improving on that front Might there be someone there who really loves me? - well more than likely not, but hey that's immaterial Might I stand and dance on my own? - well if you've seen what I look like after a days work then that's probable Might I go home and want to die? - well maybe that's pushing it into the extreme terrority This test can probably be applied to other songs, but this is the one that always strikes me I suppose. Anyway I apologise for the lack of B&S content, but further endorsing my support for the 'VOTE MACARTHUR' campaign will hopefully see me through. By means of premature conselation I must add that speaking as a college president of a full 6 days standing the roles aren't as exciting as one might expect: changing the battery in the clock is as exciting as it has got, but tommorow it is the equivalent of a PTA committe meeting so fun is in store, I hope. A passing thought......I have been walking up to people telling them 'that the basest thing stands still in esperance' all day, what does this say about me.

Message-ID: <990915231524.n0029257.garton@mail.clara.net> Yes I have kids. More on the biscuit later. I know you've missed me, even you at the back there, its a special trick of mine, I think it lends me a certain mystique, you'll never know when I'll reappear, a bit like Tom Jones. OK biscuit story now. You know when people see Jesus in the most unsuspecting of places? Last year or so there was a big office block in somewhere like Koala Lumpur with big shiny reflective windows and a huge 50ft face of Jesus appeared. It was chaos on the streets, they had to bring in martial law. Its true. Then last week in Dunstable this guy had cleaned his windows with windolene and a nice soft duster only when he went to look at it half an hour later he'd smeared the face of jesus into the glass. Now he cant clean that bit, he just carefully wipes round it. I also once heard that Sturt David had a picture of Jesus in the stone cladding at the front of his house . He was going to phone up the glasgow Echo or whatever they have up there. Someone who lives in glasgow sneak round and have a look, go on, then report back. Well, you know those 'BN' biscuits that have just mysteriously appeared in the supermarket from France or somewhere a bit continental? they're square with a smiley face on one side and a smooth other side with BN written on it. Well, I bought the chocalatey ones and half way through I got one with a really evil sneering face on it, the face of Old Nick himself. I can barely bring myself to touch it, actually I'm pretty scared of it. I reckon if you eat it you might get possessed, I'll bring it to the picnic if I go and you can all have a nibble, just to see what happens. Now I'm just waiting forthe creases in my duvet to fall into place exactly resembling Stuart Murdoch and I'm sorted. I'm trying to laern to touch type.Its not as easy as it looks, eh secretaries? Yeah thats it, I might see you tommorow night now that Who wants to be an annoying twat has finished.

University Challenge: The fans out of the closet are: Mark Casaratto - (a Warwick boy?) "Shit, Newcastle beat Warwick.....we used to be so GOOD" Lucy Alder - (31 is her best score) "Shit! I missed University Challenge last night" Arantxa Sanz - (she wants to murder Jeremy Paxman) "I am amazed how unliterate and rough I am after 20 years in full time education" (and she didn't say shit either) Robin Stout - "Someone's mum said I looked like Jeremy Paxman once" (thats a complete lie...!!!! Robin is lovely and bares no resemblance to JP at all) Fountainhead - "unversally challenged - that's me." (thats one of those "sic" things - could anyone tell me what "sic" means. I've forgotten) Rachel - "newcastle...stormed to victory thanks to the rather attractive english student on the end, mmm" (shallow? OH NO NO!) Robert McTaggart - "Only on Sinister could I read that people are upset about missing "University Challenge" " (enough said) Well Lucy, 31 is a great score to try and top. As I play with at least 4 various family members the competition is high, so I've only managed a measly 16 as my highest. Never knew all the fans were there, and I only found out today that Kittencore's Ricky T answered a question for a team back in 1997....I forget the question but the answer was "dark matter." Baptiste: Esme from Germany asked, and Simon replied, Fountainhead got a demo at Bowlie, and the world is a small place. Yeah - I know them too...I used to work with their mate Colm his sister Jennifer at Sainsburys, and then I was in a band Colm's and Jen's brother Robert, and I went to see their mates band being Baptiste play in Harrow in 1997, and then years later, Chris, Colm's mate, told me his band, Dead America, had a gig and it turned out they were supporting the band I'm in, The Vertical Smile ) and then Bowlie came along and I spoke to some Baptiste members there too.... and hello to Simon - I've probably been in the same room as you at some point somewhere.... Kahimi Karie: Sarah mentioned her whilst cussing down Isobel: "I will send you a tune by Kahimi Karie which I have been whistling all day instead" Is she still Cornelius's girlfriend? I was reading Magnet mag from April 95 the other day, and came upon her. Beck has worked with her, Momus writes songs for her and Cornelius goes out with her. What is she like Sarah? Also, check out the Sushi 2000 (did i get the year right? It's not the 4004 one...) for a great song by Hiroshi Takano. It's called "Aikawarusa" and it's real summery and light. Like Angel Delight. I wanted to write more about writing "Free Arthur Lee" in some wet cement in Washington DC after seeing the Make-Up, how good "GO" actually was, why I didnt get to see The Honeyz and 5ive at Brixton last weekend, a way to cheer Tigerx Lauren up, and why my sister put "Sixteen Candles" on to cheer me up....

I just saw Moby last week at one of these 'Raves'; his new album is not bad, very different from his last few albums. I just ran across some New Order real audios that purport to be Peel Session Master tapes from 1998, what's this about? Was there a Peel Sessions released?

Anyway, there was only one thing I wanted to say: do you remember "Nalda Said", this novel written by Stuart David? The first four chapters were published on his Treehouse (then there were only 2 chapters) and it seemed really great. Well, it was supposed to be published in october: I've just checked on the amazon.co.uk website and you can pre-order it right now. That's all.

You're working for the government Message-ID: <003101bf001e$f0c93400$283edec2@steven> POLICEMAN! That uniform is excellent. Sorry, TJR was quoting Yummy Fur lyrics and I couldn't help but do the same. I know, I know, if he jumped in a river etc etc. Now, call me observant, but I've noticed the fashionable thing to do round these parts is to put little headings in your post. Who am I to go against the grain? PORTUGUESE I put one of those Portuguese messages into the translation thingy at babelfish.altavista.com and it came out with this: How it will be tomorrow? It had, certain time, a very wise man. It was capable to answer all the questions that they were made to it. Its fame spreads for all the neighbouring regions e of very far they came people to consider questions and problems to it. Sergio liveed in the same city a called boy. This boy, when the time of the birds arrived to make its nests and to create its younglings, the nests were capable of discovered all of that region. He was xactly at a time thus, that it decided to look to the old scholar and to make a question to it. But, this question, would have of to be most difficult of all. It would make with that the scholar errasse ba reply. E planned following: I go to present itself to the hidden scholar leading in my hand a youngling of bird. When it will be ahead of it, I will extend my closed hand and I will ask: " What I am hiding in my hand " If it to say me: " a youngling Does that make sense to anyone? TINDERSTICKS The new album is quite different to curtains/second album. It's a little more upbeat, with slightly shorter songs. The main thing that I like about the new one is its *soulfullness*. Lots of soul backing vocals and a kind of middle-of-the-road feel to the arrangements (that's not as bad a thing as it sounds, honestly). It's not as different from the previous two albums as the first album, but it's more of a progression. Still a band to die for, if you ask me. TOM WAITS Anyone heard Blue Valentine by Tom Waits. Not *that* is a fucking magnificent album. My previous favourite of his was Frank's Wild Years which is completely mental. Blue Valentine is more sane, but more moving. SHYNESS Don't worry 'bout shyness. Come to the picnic. It'll be lovely. Like I said last time, if anyone wants a quiet drink on Friday, get in touch. Actually, it might not be that quiet, but still. BELLE & SEBASTIAN (sarcasm) NME taking the piss out of B&S? How dare they? (end sarcasm) Now don't get me wrong, B&S are one of my favourite bands ever, but if anyone deserves a bit of piss-taking, surely it's them. Or the Tindersticks. Or any of my other favourite bands for that matter. In fact, any band who doesn't deserve a piss-take doesn't deserve to exist. Take the Stereophonics for example, how exactly would you go about taking the piss out of a band who are so DULL?

Practically a religious experience. This is music for the new millennium, I say, (since everything is *something* for the new millennium these days.) They just kicked ass. A movie begs to be made based on a Mogwai score/soundtrack. My ears are only ringing a little, too - the plugs were wrecking things, so I took them out after a minute or so. I mainly put them in so I wouldn't have to hear the lame-ass guys beside me talk loudly during the quiet bits. Just b/c it's quiet and there are no words, does not mean you must provide a voice, twitknobs. But they stopped soon enough. Har, they got drowned out and ran away. The band is *the* shit. I am quite content right now. But where were other Vancouver-area sinisterites? It was a quiet night on that front. Perhaps we can become unshy for a while and meet up before GodspeedYBE on Tuesday. That would be nice. All the other cities are doin' it... JygsawDave (you are never boring) & others talked about feeling like you're in a movie: like you're just passing through a very vivid set and you can see all around you, but in your head you can also see the movie screen with you on it. Feeling there and not there. There's this film noir movie (redundancies, sorry) called "Blast of Silence" that I saw the other day. It's not a wonderfully written movie or anything, in fact pretty laughable at times, but it deals with this dichotomy - it's all written in 2nd person, a pretty dangerous choice as that can get ugly fast. Which it did, but somehow forgivably. But the interesting thing is that in this movie, as in much film noir, the main character is walking around having a dialogue with himself, as are many other characters because they can't trust anyone else. And they can't even trust themselves, as evidenced in this movie where there is a constant (and I paraphrase slightly), "you know what to do, you go into that room and you kill that guy, you do it because that's who you are, that's who you've always been, a killer. A killer since the day you were born. But you remember, memories...fading..." So he's caught up in this voice (that could be him, or could be some no-name narrator who somehow knows just who he is, or doesn't.) Like the narrator is following him around behind the camera, interpreting his actions, guessing at who he is and telling him what to do so much that the main character thinks he is this "you" and forgets for the most part who he really is. He sees himself (if he is the narrator) in a movie, yet his actions in the movie also contradict what the narrator says and have consequences the main character didn't think he'd have to deal with being such a cool character and all. So back to our lives: in many ways if you're having this movie feeling, maybe you're being partly a narrator, looking at yourself as others might see you and partly being yourself, watching others' reactions to you. (use of 2nd person intentional). It's so interesting. Lots of theories, but I've already gone on too long and it's super late. There was mention of Tom Waits. He is on tour. I have a lovely ticket. I am happy. There is a gaping hole in my wallet where my money was sucked out, but I've come to accept it. You can't put a price on happiness, you can't put a price on Tom Waits. The man is frickin' priceless. In real life, I don't talk this much. Not this steadily anyway. Goodnight, Robyn === I was reading the dictionary.

Message-ID: <710AD5AF4EE3D111945C00805F0D0E228D7378@server1.HITEntertainment.com> Craig wrote, rather lovelyly I thought, Thanks to the sterling efforts of Trousers, Mark C, and many others a full weekend of activities has been put together to fill the gap that the cancellation of ATP left in our hearts and social calendars. Well done everyone. It's a pleasure. I should quickly add that Sam Norman and David Kitchen all deserve your thanks too - I don't think they've been mentioned yet - and Claire Timmins, whose Pamela-like enthusiasm made it all happen in the first place. In case anyone on the moon or similar has missed our blatant self-promotion, and is in or near London over the weekend (starting tonight (Thursday) at the Betsey), check out this website for details of what's goin' on: http://www.poetrysoc.com/ATP/atp.htm Especially now that TIGERMILKING has been hastily put together on Saturday night, post-picnic - not at the usual venue, however, but Bar Oporto in Covent Garden. 7-12 (the best we could get, sadly), £3/2, go and check the website homiez... Craig then went on to add: I'm quite excited about this but I'm also worried that the shyness monsta might rear it's ugly head and make me chicken out as I really don't know anyone on the list Well...he might hit me for saying this, but if you're shy, just introduce yourself to Marcus, who's one of the friendliest, chattiest people I know (and he always calls you darling - er, well, he always calls me darling, anyway). Alternatively, just sit with everyone and soak up the atmosphere (possibly literally if it does rain, but it's not going to do that, oh no), and then drink a lot - well, not necessarily, but hopefully you'll be made to feel at home and you'll have a good time after all. Another thing that bears mentioning is that we may even have enough people for a footie tournament! We had one at the very first London picnic (I think) and it actually worked, so come on and take on the mighty ersatz Looper lads who covered themselves in, erm, something messy at Bowlie One. There might even be a big fab prize for the winners... (if you do want to play, simply make sure you're on Ally Cook's team and bingo! Gold medals all round) * exactly how to recognise a sinister picnic when you see one (in case the Offspring mailing list also has a Primrose Hill gathering planned for Saturday). Erm, well, historically we've always assembled against the railings immediately outside the exit to Camden Town tube. Look for Erica and her jaunty cravat, Trousers and his trousers, me with the sun glinting/rain bouncing off my shining bald pate, Miss Vicky biting her lip, Marcus having his face eaten...which leads me to the next query: how many upside down B&S badges can someone wear without seeming obsessed. Well, Natasha (who will be tucking into some finest face herself) turned up to a previous bash with all nine badges upside down, and she's the most well-balanced person I can think of - but a word of warning - you're unlikely to go home with as many, as they're pesky buggers and fall of really easily. Final thoughts - Susannah, you have to come. That's all there is to it. And yes, I am an ex-Warwick boy, replete with the fondest of memories. Mmm, Coventry...

Go on, guess! I got a vote on the list crush site! This is the biggest boost to my self-esteem since I won a spelling contest at the age of six! Whoever you are, thank you. The power of B&S is spreading. After weeks of relentlessly forcing my beloved yet suede-obsessed companion to listen to all their recorded output over and over again, she has finally been bitten by the bug - now she's borrowed my Lazy Jane and Modern Rock Song cds and won't give them back... Has anybody ever heard B&S played at a disco/bar/nItEcLuB? If they were what would be the easiest song to dance to? You see, the chap who plays records at the Fab night every second thursday at the Limelight is very willing to play whatever you ask him to (he even played White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane for me last time - even though it cleared the dancefloor) and he will even play cds that you bring to him yourself. I was thinking it would be a blast to hear B&S played there so I was trying to decide what would be the best song to ask him to play. I was thinking Summer Wasting or LLP Jane. Any other suggestions? Aaaah, only eleven days till I return to the big city and my studies. I'm never staying at home for the summer again.

Something for me to think about as I remain trapped indoors due to this nasty hurricaine Flloyd! Something to kick your heels up to? If you are interested in getting people to wiggle their bums than I would have to suggest La Pastie de la Bourgoisie or The Boy With the Arab Strap... I have played both at affairs where the dance floor was ripped to shreds with riotous frenzy! What a joy, I must say! The city has issued evacuation notices! And such a pity that my entire family is out at work and school and I have the house to myself...Trapped alone! Am I dreaming? With a full cupboard of rations to get me through the harrowing event, I am a very happy Bone...

Would you like us to hold on to £420 of your money for six months so you can go to a concert which you don't know the lineup of?" Hmm. Difficult one that. I don't care if the tickets are going to be more expensive next time, I could invest that money in the stock market and easily cover the difference. Alternatively, I could spend it on seducing a rich woman and then run off with all her dosh. I probably won't though. What I will do though, is come to the picnic! I don't know what *anyone* looks like, and I haven't got the time or skill to bake two cakes in the shape of a "B" and an "S" (let alone an ampersand), but I'm sure I'll work out something. You'll recognise me by my unusual haircut - I have a shaved head apart from a ginger tuft at the front. Looking forward to meeting all you lovely people!

Apparently Stuart David's a "socially disjointed character" with "mental shackles" who wants nothing more than to "lead a normal life" and meet "Paul the Deacon". Well, that's what I understood anyway. There's also an opportunity for readers to comment on the book without ever having read it. I think we should all give him a bit of a leg-up, Brits style, and make it the most reviewed unpublished book ever. Can somebody at the BBC ( there must be somebody) start campaigning for it to be on "Jackanory"? Preferably with the bloke who used to read the "Littlenose" books doing it. All this talk about the gorgeousness of Scottish accents and no one ever mentions that bloke. Just the sound of his voice used to make me "cream my jeans". Fluffy wrote: About Pedro Juan Gutierrez, Peter Disco, I am thinking of buying his NOVEL, called "King of Havana". If it is a euphemism for his willy, it would be good too. Like "Mr Big" is obviously all about willies too. I'd try and be clever and read Gutierrez in Spanish, but testing my Spanish skills today, I realised I don't know the Spanish for "dick", or "nob", or "smut". I've got it now, it's not about his nob, it's about somebody called Reynardo or something, hence "Rey". But it looks quite rude anyway. It's quite difficult to read, because it's all in colloquialish. In fact, in the story featured in the last issue of Trousercuts "the magazine for free-thinking individuals" there was a sentence that I didn't understand at all. So I made it up. Which gives me an idea. To mark the launch of Trousercuts "better than shagging" issue 3, we could have a competition. All you have to do to stand a chance of winning a fabulous prize that doesn't cost much to post, is look through the story in issue 2 and find the completley made-up sentence. Sister Disco's decision is final. I expect this to be even less popular than Calumn Shearer's poster competition, way back in the days when Belle and Sebastian released records. I quite like Sting. For me, he epitomises the new breed of ethical pop twat. love from, Sister Disco +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Basically, I am now living in Chicago and am hard pressed to find any sinisterites although I haven't really had much time to look. I spend most of my days working in FAO SChwarz which, for those of you who don't know, is a rather large and expensive toy store. I'm sure there might be some uncomfortable Freudian analyses about people who work in toy stores, but I should probably leave that one alone. In any case, my tip for the day is that B&S is near impossible to listen to on the el or in the subway what for all the clamor and noise that the damn trains make. Mogwai is also rendered unlistenable in the depths of the subway. Fortunately, the bus is the perfect place to listen to both bands (and any other quiet ones, for that matter). Magnetic Fields is also excellent bus music. Geez. This post isn't going very well. Okay, so I'm going to end this before it gets messy--if anyone in the Chicago area is interested in having a little meet up before it gets too cold, please make yourselves known...and also feel free to drop by the toy store :) love to you all, george ____________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape WebMail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Yeah. That's it. Up-and-coming "fey aesthetes from Connecticut" The Butterflies of Love have a few gigs happening so if you are on the lookout for something to do on either side of the Atlantic... ...this Friday, Sept. 17, the Butterflies will be appearing at the Baggot Inn as part of the CMJ thing. The Baggot is at 82 West 3rd St. between Thompson and Sullivan. The band is scheduled for 7 p.m., the location is central, so it might be a good way to start off your evening's festivities. A journey of a thousand miles, etc. You get another shot at seeing them on Sept. 29 when they open for Bis at Maxwell's in Hoboken, NJ There are some other gigs in the NY/CT area so if you are interested mail me off the list and I'll fill you in. Then the Butterflies take flight and pack up to flutter over to the UK for a bit of October. They will be playing as follows: October 14, Nottingham, Bunker's Hill -- with Airport Girl and Twinkie. October 15, London, Bull and Gate -- with Mark 700, Action Time and Sportique. October 16, London, The Scala -- with Cato, the Smith Garrett Band, Airport Girl, Spraydog, the Family Way, Comet Gain, Birdie (St. Etienne backup singer), Rosita (two of those Kenickie girls), Spearmint and Quickspace. October 17, Leicester -- with Airport Girl and Marine Research There's a NME review of the Butterflies' single ("Wild" on the Secret 7 label) on nme.com this week. There. Now get out of the house and get some fresh air.

Message-ID: <199909161542314@trollopinpaisley.fcmail.com> YOURE' THE ONE FOR ME, FATTY. Speaking of how soon is now, i saw a Nissan car ad that had teh beginnign of that song as background, i was very puzzled by that, "Nissan, the car of whiny shut-in's everywhere" now that's a good ploy. speaking of whiny shut-ins, >;) Sarah who is secretly in love with me, suggested kahimi karie songs. i think i'll stick with my "lolitapop dollhouse" for all my Karie needs, whilst i like the song very much, her ultra breathy voice in large doses grates on my nerves. screwy, aint it? someone said that if isobel were vegan, she would be too perfect and might explode, and that made me laugh a lot for whatever reason. so PROPS to whoever you were, that was a couple days ago. L-PEOPLE'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB POST ************* I'd like to send comfort to Lauren of the broken heart sinistar sisterhood we both appear to comprise. i'd commend you dear for your consideration of the ladies, but in my own experience i'd have to say you'll be at no lesser risk of heartbreak than with boys. but will that stop me? HELL NO!! at least maybe this will help, that you were not the only one bawling your eyes out in a public place at night and getting odd looks. i was out riding my bicycle for somewhere to eat and i just started crying for no apparent reason and had to go home empty handed because i kept seeing couples kissing on the street and it made me cry harder. And i went home and called, guess who? the source of all my tragic lot. but i didn't go over because she said ppl were coming and i only wanted to talk to her alone. But don't sigh, my dear, your lot can surely not be any worse than mine, at least you were not rejected simply because you lack what i'l call for now a "winky". speaking of winkies, last night i was at the big ole dyke fest we call a womens group, we met at a coffee place and during the discussion this huge steaming winky of a guy came up and began counting us on his fingers, someone asked why he was counting us, he said something to the effect of whenever that many women were together, we must be some kind of feminist group or soemthing, someone else asked "why would you think that?" to which he made some idiotic gesture inferring "LIKE< DUH!!!" then he said that he wanted to make sure we weren't a "coven". Fucking moron. and he started to walk away, and i yelled out "i'm a witch!!" and raised my hand, and said i would put a hex on him. we decided he was just intimidated by our ferocious convergence of female energy, and he was in deathly fear for his precious winky. Asshole. KISS ME, KISS ME KISS ME i was just going to recount this dream i had last night, or today or wathever. i think Jess was there. and someone announced that there was to be a show of Pavement, and Belle and sebastian too, so we hurried off to someone's house, a tiny little room and waited. but no show happened. we waited. we thought maybe it was a music video shoot. i asked the owner of th house where the bathroom was and he showed me donw into the basement which was full of toys and furnitre and things, and it was all dark and stuff, i saw this person sneaking around and got kinda scared and called out who's there, then suddenly many many ppl jumped out in costume and circus gear, and yelled "surprise!!!" And one of the ppl was stuart m, he took off his disguise and started to greet the attendants in the front, when he got to me he hugged me and kissed me on the lips, and thanked me for something. when he pulled away from kissing me he raised his eyebrows, like "that was good" or something. my face got all red and i had to cover it and i felt like i would burst of embarrassment, cos everyone was laughing in envy at me, almost all fo the ppl who had come were teeny girls who thought struan was the bomb, so they were all jealous, some of them even cried because they didnt' get to kiss him, and one girl came up and wanted to hug me because i had touched him. His lips were very soft, though, i guess he was a good kisser, even if it was only a peck on the lips. oh and the other parts of the dream, involved me sleeping wiht some girl i had known for 2 days, and my dad trying ti get me to take my clothes off because someone said i looked like John lennons' wife, and my mom dressed as a nun and singing songs that i had written, which was quite traumatic to me. i wish i could remember the song cos it was really rather brilliant, an imaginary listee named heather had written teh lyrics, and i finished it and put it to music, and it was really quite good. 'heather' was jealous of stuart kissing me, too. OH! i almost forgot the most important part. at the wimmens group, this one girl asked what my Study at Stow shirt said, then she asked if i knew teh group belle and sebastian, i said Hell yeah, i met them! and we made a few comments, she said that she loves them and was quite envious i got to see tehm in concert, maybe that was the source of my dream? anyway it was the first time i've met someone who knew B&S so it was really a milestone. I miss artgirl and her incredible sexual vibe. if she could ever love me.....right now, right here!

Two Morrissey songs have now fallen into capitalist hands... "Stars of Track and Field" is a sportshow themesong... And just now, as fellow Illeana Douglas fans may have seen, "Burning Flies" is playing behind an advertisement for "Dog Park," a new movie with Luke Wilson playing the lead. Now, I love Luke Wilson, (he and his brother Owen, who wrote "Rushmore" and "Bottlerocket," are from my neighborhood) but what's up with these suddenly frequent commercial sell-outs. Does Wee Carn want a new treehouse? Obviously, having a great song placed on a movie's soundtrack isn't as bad as selling leather-seated nissans (meat is murder) or economy-sized mini-cars (you're the one for me fatty,) but this movie seems like the usual Hollywood fluff.

Alright,i will,thankyou. I've realized that what i don't like about the jock/townie whatever you call them crowd is the attitude, not the clothes. I don't own anything by Tommy Hilfiger or Phat Farm, but even if i did, it wouldn't matter. The problem is the mindset that "Because I am wearing what I am wearing, I am worth more than you" And i don't really like a lot of the popular music today, that is, TOP 40 stuff, but that's personal opinion. To their ears, belle and sebastian are probably just as repugnant. Unfortunately, Music Snobbery and Brand Name Consciousness are just as prevalent in the indie rock scene. We hate it when our heroes become popular, and widespread enjoyment of a previously underground band makes them pariahs. The mere mention of their name causes previous diehard fans to say "ooh, i only like their old stuff, you know, before they sold out" We're all so happy and smug because the pair of ratty pants we have is the antithesis of the popular style. Pride in hideously tacky Goodwill pants is no less pretentious than pride in the largest pair of Boss Jeans available.. I don't mean to point fingers at anyone. If anything, i'm one of the biggest offenders i know of.. So please don't take any offense at this. I'm just posting it in the hopes that maybe some of this list will take what i say to heart. I wish that there was more of a sense of camaraderie and unity at liking a certain style of music, rather than this "i'm more indie than you" feel i get sometimes. I'm making an effort to be a nicer person, both on the list and in my personal life, which probably won't affect any of you too much. But I'd like to apologize to anyone i may have offended. I do mean this, too. Only rock stars and millionaires can be jerks and get away with it, since they have truckloads of money. I doubt I'll ever be either. I'd rather be a nice guy.

Message-ID: <19990917050200.17871.qmail@hotmail.com> Hello.... Went to a quiz night last night, (I had to because I knew a girl organising it) and managed to get a question wrong on how to spell the french word for butter. Firstly it was a crap question, a token question because the quiz night was run by a french club ( and partly the politics club) and secondly I was sure 'butter' in French had only 1 'R'. This from a girl who has an essay to be written in French about Eluard's poetry due in about 3 hours. Oh crap. Any french listee's out there who want to..... Anyway we kicked ass in the music round. Sorry I digress... A friend of mine bought Salako's reinventing punctuation Cd for only $5 Australian,( some record store worker had accidentally put it in the singles pile.) Its Ok, I liked it, but its not mindblowingly good (as I have come to expect from another band on the Jeepster label)...I mean I'm not going to run out and join a mailing list and order their entire back catalogue or anything :) It was actually pretty weird to find it in Australia considering it doesn't actually have release here. But is any of their other stuff different or is it kind of the same? In my opinion, good B&S dancing songs would have to be: dirty dream number two,she's losing it,and TBWTAS as well. Have fun on your picnic....(bitterly said, but with good intentions) Helen ______________________________________________________ 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".

Please help! Message-ID: <19990917085457.18124.rocketmail@web1305.mail.yahoo.com> Dear All As this is my first posting, I hope I am forgiven for a bit of self promotion. My band (Marwood), are currently looking for a new female vocalist and other musicians. We're based in Preston, NW England (it's not that bad, honestly), and have gigged at the Roadhouse in Manchester a couple of times, The Night & Day Cafe, Camden etc. The songs are really strong but our current vocalist isn't! In addition to the lead/rhythm guitars, bass, drums & vocals we'd really love to add some strings, maybe keyboards/sequencer, brass, well just about any kind of instrument would be welcome. As far as influences go it's not just Belle & Sebastian, there's the Delgados, Smiths, Beatles, Beta Band, Spiritulized plus many more. So, if you're based in the North West and your interested, please get in touch. I promise next time I post it will be much less self indulgent. Cheers Leaky P.S. I am going to see the Beta Band at Manchester Ritz later on this month, anyone else going? ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

at least, that's what it seems to me. reading interviews with him, though, i'm not convinced i've got it quite right. i've only ever come across two utterly genuine 'scenes' as such, and one of them - the sinister mailing list - isn't really a scene, just a collection of (fairly) likeminded people stretched out across the globe. but everyone (or everyone i've met) isn't here because they think it's a cool scene to be 'in' on - it's because they love the music of belle and sebastian to death. the other scene i found was a small section of the dance community in prague. people had almost no money at all, and the very little money they had they spent on admission to clubs, trying to save towards decks so that they could dj themselves and so on. one of my friends in prague had a czech boyfriend for a bit, and he worked cleaning glasses in a tourist pub all week so that he could buy three pills and the tickets for two clubnights at the weekend. because there was no money, people weren't interested in showing off their matching labels, as happened in the more american ex-pat dominated area of the dance scene, they just wanted to get high and dance for hours and hours. anyway, enough of that - now for university challenge. my sister and i run up to my room for every episode, and bitch at each other about who got the question right first. lst season i supported bangor, because they had a crazy lady who spewed out kinks lyrics at an astounding rate. but i'm sure that this season i'll support trinity cambridge. next season i might even be on it ;) but then that wouldn't be very cool, when i'm a multinational rock star, and then one of those shows like 'before they were famous' come back and find me and then no-one will buy my records anymore because they'd see that in fact i'm not a rock god, but in fact a speccy spotty geek ;) righteho, maybe i might see some of you at the picnic tomorrow, or maybe at the poetry cafe tonight, love Marcus XXX +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Message-ID: <37E236BB.E558BE8F@wdr.com> Oy oy saveloy..... The "Christopher Timothy Experience" (and there's a name for a band if ever I heard one) continues, don't you know. I was late for the train this morning, through ignorance, weakness, or my own deliberate fault, so had to catch one that I don't normally get. Anyway, I sit down on the platform, do a roll-up (which was part of the curriculum in our school for B.A.G.A. level 3 gymnastics), and happen to glance at the bloke sitting next to me. Yes, you've guessed it - it was the one, the only, Mr. James Herriot again. I thought for a short while of trying to apologise for my previously drunken behaviour at the Saint Trinians night, but I didn't, for one reason. Have you any idea how hard it is to keep a straight face when you're sitting next to someone who: a) is dead, dead, famous b) met you last when you had "SLUT" written in lipstick on your forehead, and c) has been seen by Ian having rampant anal sex with an Orang-utan?? Well?? Have you?? Hmmmm. Thought not. It's bloody hard, let me assure you. So, not wanting to make even more of a tit of myself than I undoubtedly already have to this particular celebrity geezer, I hauled my convulsively giggling self into the other side of the carriage and kept well away. Probably best, I reckon. On the Jysaw-Dave-raised question of indie-cool, I tend to think that doing things just because they're "cool" is just a bit pointless, really. Pointless because "cool", like most other things in life (thank-you Mr. Einstein) depends entirely on frame-of-reference, on perception. As my mum used to say, "One man's meat is another man's mustard", which, even though it is one of the worlds most tenuous analogies, does have some truth to it. What you think is "cool" may get you universally laughed at by other groups in society. So why bother? Do what *YOU* want to do. Wear what *YOU* want to wear. Listen to what *YOU* want to hear. And that's to say at all that you should only do all that if it happens to be non-conformist. If what you want to do is completely MOR, but it happens to be your own particular scene, your style, your movie, then that's great. IMHO, there's nothing worse than people not being themselves. Here endeth the lesson. Anyone not agreeing with the above can send the usual boiled rabbits, horses heads and packets of excrement to the usual place, peter.ramsdale at wdr.com.........

Especially if youÂ’re a miserable 16 yr old from a shitty little town in the northeast where Perkins is the local latenite hotspot, and youÂ’re up for some legal binge drinking in a foreign country, not that I did that, but itÂ’s still nice to have the chance) And I was saying, I was in brazil and can now confidently lie about my fluent Portuguese on job application so I took it upon myself to translate the first message. To summarize, it was a story about this wise old man and this other little weisenheimer who decides to test the wise old manÂ’s wiseness. So the second guy gets this bird and hides it in his hand and goes to the old guy and says something like “ok smartass, what am I hiding in my hand? And the wise old man says “a little bird” so the weisenheimer says, yeah but is it dead or alive? And the sage says, “well thatÂ’s really up to you. you have the decision to create the future” or something to that effect. (I think the weisenheimer had rigged the test so no matter what the old guy guessed heÂ’d be wrong.) Then thereÂ’s a load of blethering about God and how you control your fate and happpiness etc etc . basically, itÂ’s one of those feel good chain-mail religious messages. Like the one about the lady who buys the sexy lingerie and saves it for “a special time” then before you know BOOM! SheÂ’s dead and never got to wear it, so the moral is live life to the fullest and donÂ’t put off telling people you love them. So thatÂ’s what I got from the Portuguese message, and IÂ’m absolutely certain IÂ’m approximately 10% correct My head hurt too much to go on to the 2nd one. My aunt has just gotten “hooked” to the “net” and is “travelling” the “information” “superhighway” She even has a yahoo mail account, which she makes great use of to forward aforementioned feel good chainmail, on like, an hourly basis. It was cute at first (“Oh look! She really thinks sheÂ’ll win a trip to disneyland if she forwards this message to 16 people! Haha silly woman”), but now IÂ’m getting annoyed like, “let me break it down for you honey, there ainÂ’t no little girl in Arkansas with cancer whoÂ’s getting 1 cent each time this e-mail is forwarded, and IÂ’ve received this Darwin Awards joke only about 63 times in the past week, bitch!” but then I recall my own e-mail infancy, and the glee I felt after sending the so-called “secret neiman marcus chocolate chip cookie recipe" to anybody I knew with e-mail, and I forgive her. Finally, I donÂ’t post that often, but I have to say itÂ’s a little unfair for all you people dissing the company behind ATP. ItÂ’s not entirely their fault they couldnÂ’t sell enough tickets and had to cancel. (Aside from not booking better/more bands and holding it at a better time, I mean.) But really, how about some vitriol directed at all the people who posted messages saying, “Oh well itÂ’s too bad All tomorrowÂ’s parties is cancelled, that is so UNFAIR!! it SUCKS!!! well IÂ’m just glad I didnÂ’t buy tickets anyway.” ???? Oh, wait, has anybody seen mogwai live in the US? Are they selling those nasty “blur” shirts?” tata, tara PS. By the way, anybody who is in San Francisco and interested in some bargains, I at Streetlight records on Market Street the other day and butter my bottom and call me muffin if I didnÂ’t find a whole bunch of knockout sale stuff. Upstairs, on the second floor area underneath the rack of CD singles and in boxes on the floor are many copies of B&S Eps marked down. “Dog on Wheels” “3..6 9” “LLPJ“ (I think?) and even “Modern Rock Song” were there, and priced at about $6.50 if I recall correctly. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

I think it was Norman Mailer who said that extreme, radical feminism is actually a bit more insidious than patriarchy, because it could (theoretically) be taken to a logical conclusion. Though I rather doubt that women would ever mess things up that badly.

Ok so this whining is all too common, tired already are you? So who has jilted Perth you may or may not ask. Ben Lee. Ok so he was only here 6months ago. But there was a part of me that was hoping that it was just gonna be him and his cute little acoustic guitar this time. No one wants to hear your wanky new pseudo-groove direction, no one wants to hear half of your last album all I want to do is let go of a tear as you begin to strum and sing "Eight years old I was in love with a girl...". I had the whole afternoon planned, afternoon yes I was going to the underage show! Who needs alcohol when you can be intoxicated with the passion of youth(And i don't mean that in a sexual way you filthy mind). I had my pink Dolly t-shirt picked out, my Miss Muffet handbag and matching hair clips so that I would fit in with the indiekids. And Ben was even gonna bring a decent opening act this time Alex Lloyd, no more of those wankers from Gerling who only have one catchy song and 10 other sonic regurgitations. Now I will have to be content with listening to my mogwai cd on the 27th of this month. Anyway just a rant that I needed to get out. It probably want make much sense to anyone outside of Australia.

I prefer the lurking thing. I hear Martin Robinson has made it safely back to the shores of Britain -- we were sorry to miss him in New York. But, we toasted him with a glass or two and after a bit it seemed he was with us anyhow. Before leaving the UK, Martin sent the Poetry Parrot on ahead. It arrived bedraggled and forlorn at my door, really no more than a sodden bunch of feathers. I picked it up gently and wrapped it in a fluffy towel. When I felt how it was shivering from the transatlantic flight I gave it a tiny sip of brandy. It seemed to perk him up so I gave him a bit more. How was I to know he had a weakness? Well, before long my booze was all gone and the Parrot was hanging off the curtain rods reciting the most vulgar and rude limericks I've ever heard -- that is when he wasn't singing maudlin songs or shouting at the cats to "haul on the bowline." (I suspect he has a past, this Poetry Parrot, and it wasn't in the halls of academia.) It was a long few weeks. I asked for his help in choosing a poem, got down a stack of books and tried a few out on him. His comments ranged from "fucking drug addict can't write for shit -- damn hippie" in a HopkinsVoice -- to what sounded like "she'sawhore" in a croaky imitation of a raven when I suggested Emily Dickenson. It didn't help that he'd landed on my neighbor's head when he said the latter, and then apologized to her by bowing in that drunken formal way, saying, "scuse me lady, I thought you had a bust." Finally, I packed him off to rehab. He should be getting out about now and I've instructed them to send him along to Damon Seils who hopefully will get better guidance from him than I did, now that he's sobered up. The Parrot, not Damon. So, in any event, this is the poem I chose... it is by Jane Kenyon who lives in New Hampshire. It isn't much, but I like it. Insomnia The almost disturbing scent of peonies presses through the screens, and I know without looking how those heavy white heads lean down under the moon's light. A cricket chafes and pauses, chafes and pauses, as if distracted or preoccupied. When I open my eyes to document my sleeplessness by the clock, a point of greenish light pulses near the ceiling. A firefly . . . In childhood I ran out at dusk, a jar in one hand, lid pierced with airholes in the other, getting soaked to the knees in the long wet grass. The light moves unsteadily, like someone whose balance is uncertain after traveling many hours, coming a long way. Get up. Get up and let it out. But I leave it hovering overhead, in case it's my father, come back from the dead to ask, "Why are you still awake? You can put grass in their jar in the morning." +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Once you get past the intentionally crap production (done by Steve Albini...go figure) the beautiful, wide world of Robert Pollard is opened unto you. This was his last good album before he hit his shite stretch, which has consumed the last four years of his life. Their new album is quite good, but Under the Bushes Under the Stars will always reign supreme in my heart and mind. When I got it the summer before 10th grade I spent an entire holiday pretending I was singing "Your Name Is Wild" to this really pretty girl in my French class as I toiled about as a grocery stock boy. To this day everytime I walk in that store I start humming that song. As Blake said, Hurricane Floyd wasn't quite the monster the Weather Channel portrayed him as by the time he made his way to Baltimore. He was actually a pretty kind and benevolent soul by dumping a foot of rain on our parched and drought wracked fields. I think the farmers should kiss his ass because he kept them in work for one more year. Every September 16th should be "Tropical Storm Floyd Day" in which every farmer has to be shown footage of his crops rotting in the fields just so they'll realize how close they came. I liked the fellow so much I hope Floyd stops by again next year actually...I'll even leave a spot at the table for him. Speaking of the Weather Channel, is anyone else mesmorized by their female anchor Christine Abernathy? Not that she's overly sexy or anything, but she's just so tiny and pixie-ish with her slight southern twang and earnest demeanor that I could watch her all day. Just when I'm fully in love with her she says "Ok, let's have a look at how your weekend is shaping up...Greg?" and then the nerd in a ill-fitting suit steps up to the map and I dejectedly change the channel. She needs her own show where its just 24 hours of Abernathy in her glory! In fact I'm going to go see if she's on now... Ummm...so the new album is out this fall then? Right on!

From the beginnning I was just reading through my backlog of sinister posts, when I came to our beloved lauren's post (I would vote for you if I was allowed to vote twice) about that nasty boy. That's quite a sweet story, I think. Anyhow, it made me think, how you get surprises, but if you're careful, you won't get many. What I'm saying is I don't get many surprises, because I never give anyone the opportunity. This is because some surprises are not so nice, but then, some are nice. Lauren was cursed and blessed with both. I am only telling you this because I think it is ironic that I should get a surprise just as I was thinking about this. MY HIFI BROKE, MY HIFI BROKE I turned the computer off, and went upstairs. I looked at my hifi. The backlight was on, but there was no information on the display. I pressed some buttons. Nothing happened. The power button didn't even work. I thought "fuck". Now my hifi is useless. No amount of bashing will make it work. MY HIFI BROKE You might think this is bad, since I can't listen to any music (not even B&S). But really it's good, because it forces me to buy a new hi-fi. The old one was definitely very bad anyway. I might have to wait a bit to save up enough, but it shouldn't be long. Hurrah. I'M GETTING A NEW HIFI, I'M GETTING A NEW HIFI YAY.

My last post may have seemed a bit sarcastic, but it honestly wasn't. There are just a few points: James Gilmer looked guilty and said: >all those wonders of english >culture...and we give you Jerry Springer. Sorry about that, us poor >colonials have yet to find culture. Don't knock Jerry Springer. Jerry Springer is one of the best things on TV. You just have to get into the mood for it, just whistle and whoop and clap lots, it's great fun. It takes away you're worries. If I ever go to america I will go and see Jerry. Or maybe Ricki, she's good too. THAT NAUGHTY WORD Our dear head, Mr. Midworth, has come up with a plan to combat the immaturity and lack of effort in our year. There will be four groups of students: Group 1. These people will be given extra help with organisation, but they do need to worry much. Group 2. Will have their performance monitored and risk being put in group 3 if they do not improve. Group 3. Will have to report to teachers daily and will have to do all homework in school if they do not do it on time at home. These people are the evil ones. Group 4. Girls. Who are perfect, obviously. It would be bad enough, but to rub salt into the wound, I'VE BEEN CLASSIFIED AS A GIRL. I feel like Kryten did, except I don't get to go in the showers with them. LETS ALL MEET UP IN THE YEAR 2000 I love Jason's idea of millenium meet-ups, I might be able to leave the house for that excuse. We can all agree to get as many hifis as possible and play the same song at exactly the same time everywhere. I vote for MRS. And the time should be midnight. Of course, midnight is different anywhere, so it might not work perfectly. I remember when I first heard Jarvis Cocker sing "Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown..." I thought "hmm. only 15. It's not really that fully grown". A lot's happened though. Isn't it weird how things happen and stuff changes. Lots has changed, I couldn't have predicted it. Maybe it's not really wierd. When I first heard *that* song everything was going to be perfect. Depressing rant: Now everything's going to be crap for me, I worked it out. We've had careers teachers round and all. "What do you want to be?". Oh f***, I think, because I don't want a job. I've taken to saying "Bus driver". A COMMENT ON SOCIETY Dave told us all about those strange people who fit in. I don't take pride in ever being nasty to the sort of people that wear designer clothes and listen to top 40 music. They don't know any better, right? Anyway, they're generally pretty friendly and fun, so no problem. Not everyone thinks they're better than you just because of what they wear. What does piss me off is the other band of hipsters who will get actively pissed off with you if you wear M&S trousers. It's these sort of people who take the piss out of B&S. The reason being they're scared of anything that's different. You might understand I'm talking along the lines of the grunger punk rock bitches here (there's a lot round here). They think of themselves as so hard and scary but there's nothing more scary to them than Stu M in a cardy. HA Can I just say that I agree with Marcus's comments too, and I think capitalism works for some (very few) things, but for music it's the worst possible way of sharing it out. DRINK WHAT *YOU* WANT TO DRINK, is my final comment on that line, thanks pete. I'll just end this quickly by saying what a shame it is that all our list crush votes don't count for Erica's election. -- James Thorniley +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

A Steve Albini production can be the best thing in the world for an album. Some very, very good albums have been done by Steve, who "records" and "engineers" things not to be "intentionally crap", but to be intentionally as abrasive and challenging as possible; he'll never let you escape from the drums, no sir. I call the effect of him being behind the board the "Albini lurch"- things he's produced sound queasy somehow, manic-depressive. In their own way, Steve Albini productions have the most extreme clarity and sonic cleanliness of any pop/rock music. Albini as a person is also misrepresented. He is only a prick when he needs to be, i.e. when his strongly (even rabidly) held aesthetic principles are under attack. I've met him, and he was definitly one of the most gracious, unassuming, and down-to-earth "rock" type people I've ever met. He's also quite cute- he looks a lot like George Stephanopolous without the bad hair. Has anybody ever seen George Stephanopolous and Steve Albini in the same room? Hmmmm..... Some Albini classics: Rid of Me - PJ Harvey (her best album and permanently in my top 10) After Murder Park - The Auteurs (again, Albini gives a band their best album) Seamonsters - The Wedding Present Surfer Rosa - The Pixies Secret Name - Low SIGN IT: -2 or 3 Things I Know About Chris Section 5: Word Use Pupil uses three given words in one sentence.

Always I am stunned to remember it, as if I have been to Saturn or the bottom of a trench in the sea floor, I sit on my bed the next day with my mouth open and think of it. - - - - - - - Damon . +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

This is what Leaky (love the name) said: "Subject: Sinister: Musicians Needed? Please help! Dear All As this is my first posting, I hope I am forgiven for a bit of self promotion. My band (Marwood), are currently looking for a new female vocalist and other musicians. We're based in Preston, NW England (it's not that bad, honestly), and have gigged at the Roadhouse in Manchester a couple of times, The Night & Day Cafe, Camden etc. The songs are really strong but our current vocalist isn't! In addition to the lead/rhythm guitars, bass, drums & vocals we'd really love to add some strings, maybe keyboards/sequencer, brass, well just about any kind of instrument would be welcome. As far as influences go it's not just Belle & Sebastian, there's the Delgados, Smiths, Beatles, Beta Band, Spiritulized plus many more. So, if you're based in the North West and your interested, please get in touch. I promise next time I post it will be much less self indulgent. Cheers Leaky P.S. I am going to see the Beta Band at Manchester Ritz later on this month, anyone else going?" RIGHT, firstly i thought "This is my chance to get back with another gigging band very very very near me!". I live near Blackburn if you're wondering. Then, i realised youve already got a bass player. DAMN! I could, however very quickly become a DJ (my brother's big on the Manchester DJ scene btw) or a keys player if there was a reason to. LEFT, I saw your list of influences and i thought "God, maybe i wrote this in a drunken stupor". But then i realised i find it hard to write Spiritualized in such a stupor! DAMN! CENTER, and probably most important, i think i've hit the jackpot with the Ps. I am *planning* on seeing The Beta Band at the Ritz - so long as it hasnt sold out yet! If you want someone to go with (none of my friends like then and often call them "SHITE", are yours the same?), email me @ chorkan at talk21.com . Thats my lot... Dont know why this isnt a private email Dont really care either!. Chris_t_opher <01254 245406> Ps. Thanks to New Graduate Rachel for the info on York Uni. I went today an quite enjoyed myself. Didnt see many ducks and geese so it was a little disappointing - lol. Didnt get to look at any of those pubs cos i couldnt find them - we stopped in Thomas' in the centre for a quick drink tho.

LESBIANS!' and running off basking in the glory of his peers' giggles. natasha and i found this rather amusing... anyway, that's about all that's been happening down at omond acres. there's a competition that nike are running to find the park footballers of the year, and it happens to have internet voting... so i thought that sinister should maybe help out... a sinister get together to pick up all the awards at london nike town would be rather amusing, i feel. i'll post more about this tomorrow... right, i'm off to bed :) love Marcus XXX +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

JOB INTERVIEW Don't think I'll get le job cuz well, the dork interviewer asked me "Where do you see yourself relationship-wise in 5 years?" Um, illegal question?! Whatever. Either he was interested or he wanted to know if I'd show up pregnant next week. Conclusion? Wouldn't want to work for him anyway. NIGHTS OUT/B&S Went to trendy little Laika on Friday...snappy 50s chic, loud DJing, stunningly gorgeous clientele "help me!" I mentioned B&S to my friend V, who of course knew who they were...though he prefers to listen to John Cage. He was very removed about it and said, in French, 'Oh, when I heard the name of the band I thought 'how ingenious, like the cartoon'" haha, cuz we all got to watch the cartoon version as children on French TV. Sat night, unfortunately hit 'Le Drugstore' after a wonderful meal of beef curry and 'super nouilles dorées' This bar is the queer equivalent of Planet Hollywood... *cringes almost screams* :-@ Yeah, chocolate bars and porn mags and cigarettes...all at your fingertips, not to mention huge ugly neon lights and a Pat Benatar soundtrack...faaawwwk! SAT. Spent all day Saturday at a symposium on how to resolve the question of art photography vs. documentary photography. Fascinating for the most part (had no choice...it was 5 hours long!) Two stuffy French intellectuals ruined it with their silly bafflegab about 'a call to arms' and just being plain snotty. TRAIN There was a 12 month old little girl on the train who entertained us all for most of the trip, smiling, laughing, being annoying...sent my maternal urges skyrocketing....*squirm* TAPE Joss sent me a mix tape of Scott Walker and Caetano Veloso...thanks! Though I shall thank you personally. Now we can all hum the hommage to the lovely Genevieve (G: I'll be there for Thanksgiving, I promise!)

Neutral Milk Hotel are among the last truly wonderful bands floating around unrecognized these days. I'm going to gush about them for a while but should preface this all with the disclaimer that Jeff Mangum and Julian Koster are my housemates in Athens, so none of this is exactly objective. Jeff grew up in Ruston, Louisiana and went to school with Will Hart, Bill Doss, and Rob Schneider. In high school they made home recordings for each other under the names Neutral Milk Hotel, Clay Bears, etc for a free-floating label they called Elephant 6. Jeff, Will, and Bill ended up in Athens forming a band called Synthetic Flying Machine around 1993. When that disolved Will and Bill continued as Olivia Tremor Control and Jeff left Athens for brief stays in Texas, Denver, Seattle, New York and Olympia living in closets and recording more Neutral Milk Hotel material. After finishing 1996's On Avery Island he assembled the line up of Julian Koster (singing saw, accordian, keyboard, banjo, bass) Scott Spillane (Trumpet, french horn, etc) and Jeremy Barnes (drums) to tour with, and this core group ended up relocating to Athens in 96 after the tour was done. That line up made 1998's "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea," an even more striking album than Avery Island. It came out on Merge records here in the States, and was pressed by Blue Rose immediately before that label went bankrupt in the UK. They toured extensively, then went into a sort of reclusion that fall. Julian concentrated on his band The Music Tapes, Scott had the Gerbils, Jeremy had Bablicon, and Jeff wrote and spent time with friends. Jeff played a solo acoustic show last December 5th for a birthday party at the old school gynasium I was living in at the time, then did three Neutral Milk Hotel songs on New Years Eve at the 40 Watt, and that was it. He turned down every potential NMH show in 1999, including slots opening for R.E.M., playing Yo Yo A Go Go, Terrastock, and so on. He has joined Elfpower, Olivia Tremor Control, the Gerbils, Dixie Blood Moustache and other Elephant 6 performers but hasn't played a Neutral Milk Hotel show all year. For a while he was recording sound concrete tape experiments with Will Hart. More recently he has begun to actually work on new NMH songs, which sounded amazing. There is a chance he may perform in Athens at a benefit for the Broad River but nothing is confirmed yet. I recommend both "On Avery Island" and "On the Aeroplane Over the Sea" to any Belle & Sebastian fans who haven't discvered them yet. For actual band history/interview, there was an excellent cover story in Puncture last year that may be available online. B&S content? That's Jeff in the sheet as a ghost in the video for "Dirty Dream #2" with the dog jumping around. Julian and Robbie are laying on the roof with all of their tape machines, and Scott has the flowers bursting out of his sleeves. They are all Belle & Sebastian fans and joined the list members who came to Athens to be in the video...

I thought cool was the exclusive preserve of teddy boys. According to the Star Wars pull-out thing that came with yesterday's paper, what used to be called a bowlie haircut, as sported by the soon-to-become-evil Annakin Skywalker, is now a simple haircut for slaves. Slaves to drink and drugs and gay sex, presumably. I saw a nice film the other day, a bird talked about wanking for ages and then later on she was having one of those "orgasms" that you sometimes hear about, it was a close-up of her ecstatic face as she moaned and mooed and writhed and wriggled. I thought she was, erm...what was that expression? Strumming her own furry banjo, that's it...but she wasn't, she was getting a jolly good seeing to from the bloke upstairs. Later on you got to see her hairy orchard, which was hairier on one side than the other. All in all, quite disturbing. You can stuff your Eyes Wide Shut right up your arse. This next bit is probably only for Jordi: Migala are supposed to be on the telly tonight, according to the paper. So are two other groups and the programme's only 15 minutes long, at about half past one. Should give the ratings a boost. Indie - independent. Independent from what? Thought waves? If independent is a post-punk concept, what did smart arses like before punk? Why don't people like "townies"? Is it because they're unemployed and smelly? Or have I got it wrong? I've never heard the expression before. Are they "neds"? Kappa used to be quite posh. Athletic Bilbao use it, and you can't get posher than that.

Highlight: I FINALLY got round to buying my own copy of TBWTAS. I now own all their official recorded output. EYES WIDE SHUT What was that all about then? Visually stunning, however plot'n'dialogue useless. TOWNIES They call 'em spides where I come from. I once took on six of the bastards with a chair in Burger King (They started it). Then a big hairy middle aged rocker leapt into the melee, and bit someones ear off. The story made the local paper. I AM A HERO Speaking of spides, I caught two of them trying to steal a car right outside my bedroom window in the small hours of saturday morning. I called 999 and the fuzz were on the scene within thirty seconds. I kept watch through a tiny gap in my curtains. It was like 'The Bill - too hot for TV'. One of the rozzers actually said "You're nicked, my son!", before giving the two spides what appeared to be a good going over. I thought I might get a reward, but nothing has been forthcoming so far. That's all for now, Ian (aka gib) ______________________________________________________ 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".

Well, here's a tad. I was listening to 'Sinister' yesterday for the first time in ages, and couldn't help but be reminded of what the President of the Peter Reid Fan Club (Greenwich Cell) has told me: *** There's Always Been A Stones Element To Their Music.*** Older readers, and those who've rifled through Stevie T's bookshelves, will know that Simon Reynolds used to say this once a week about the Smiths. B&S? Not to dwell on matters like the fact that the Stones wrote 'Stray Cat Blues' and B&S 'Fox In The Snow'; that the Stones sang about 'a block in St John's Wood', and B&S 'a caravanette in Hull'; that the Stones have covered a Dylan song, indeed played with Dylan, and B&S mention him in a song; that the Stones did 'The Under Assistant West Coast Promo Man' and B&S 'Seymour Stein' - which my poetry contacts tell me is identical to 'You Can't Always Get What You Want'. I won't even draw on the really startling fact that the second track on Beggars Banquet is called 'No Expectations', and the second track on Sinister is called... No, let's stick to these 3 big musical links: 1. You're Just A Baby. Chunk-a-chunk-chunk. Say no more. 2. The solo in 'Dylan In The Movies'. The solo in 'The Last Time'. 3. 'The Loneliness Of The Middle Distance Runner'. I've heard this from a distance. At first I thought it was like a pastiche of 'Gimme Shelter'. Then I thought it might be a pastie of 'Stray Cat Blues' or 'Moonlight Mile'. But no: I have to reveal that it's a pistachio of 'Sister Morphine'. *Seriously.* It ain't no capital crime. ______________________________________________________ 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".

MY NEW GERMAN CHALET MATE I live with a german girl who took all of 4 days to go from someone who had never heard of B&S to someone who is obsessed by them as much as me. She now sits and listens to my CD's over and over again. It's pretty cool. MORE CELEBRITY MEETINGS Warning this one isnt as good as when stuart M had his cock out or when I got to kiss Naomi Yang. I was at a club in Newcastle and former Inspiral Carpet Clint Boon was DJ'ing. I went up and requested some My Bloody Valentine and he said he wasn't sure if he had any but he would definately look cos he hadn't heard them in ages. A few minutes later MBV were played and half of the people in the club literaly screamed then started dancing (the others in there were wearing Stereophonics shirts and trying to work out what the hell was going on). A while later as I was passing the DJ box Clint "a lot fatter than he used to be" Boon called me over and thanked me for requesting such cool music...it was a strange night. BIG RANT AGAINST WOMEN This is the bit where I complain about my love life so feel free to stop reading (that is if you got this far). The big question...why are women so sex obsessed. Whenever I pull (which isnt too often obviously) I always seem to end up with a girl who wants no more than for me to tear her clothes of and get down to business. What ever happened to talking to people...to kissing and cuddling....to waiting till some time after the night of first meeting? My God yo're all obsessed by fucking (okay that was a sweeping generalisation there but you understand what I mean). How about I start this again but from a different point? A couple of nights ago I was out for a drink with a few friends when I was introduced to a girl. I spent the night talking to various people including this girl and then as we were all leaving she grabbed me and started kissing me. Then she came back to my chalet tore all my clothes of and.... the thing is, though she was a good looking girl I really didn't want to have sex with her because quite frankly I didn't know her.I was wondering if it was me who was the weirdo for not wanting to fuck her or if her and all the other girls I've met lately are the strange ones.

Message-ID: Back from ATP-methadone weekend.Greatest hits : a)Meeting my top-skies Sinister heroines,Ailsa,Starry and Archel,this latter for first time.I am sure this Miss Playforth will be the one to write the Great (American?) Novel about Sinister,bedroom sad-o-ness and a total lifestyle.And when my grandsons learn about her literary career at middle school,Mr Trousers and the Poetry Soc will be probably quoted somewhere and I will be able to tell them in a true Melita Norwood style I was involved in their lyrical conspiracy. It won't involve to be arrested and judged at The Hague,though. b)Queen Archel was to one to point not that long ago about coolness genes and so on.As usual,I had nothing to disagree about.After watching Nikolai Dastoor in action in a dancefloor, my conclusion is that COOL, as photogeny,must be in the bones.Some of his ancestors made it at the Bolshoi. c)Tovarich Dastoor mentioned I had been too long in upper education.Well,I recognised myself my surprise at my no-performance-at-all when entering University Challenge from my living room.That was when comparing (advanced)ages and birthday bashes with Tim Hopkins.My comparison between Tim and my dad was not very welcomed...well,he is much more than 4 years older than me,Tim Popking! d)Girls at airports reading William Saroyan.Hello to Ira through Pam and Mike.I truly enjoyed my conversation with him and highly reccomends to every Sinister citizen to read any Saroyan writing especially his tales,as 'The largest country in the world' (more especially to Marcus ,as the country in the title is the former Czechsovakia)or 'The Theology Student',for any Dostoiewski fan.

I know Bjork is a mad elfin pixie Icelandic songstrel but that there lyric is the blinkin' bonkers barmiest line ever. That is unless you know different....Cyril. This is another of my fascinating if sporadic peeks into the world of Digital TV. If you can get UK Play then have a look at "Mark and Lard's Pop Upstairs Downstairs". It's a pop quiz based on University Challenge except the 2 teams really do sit one above the other (if you were unaware of the illusory nature of Bamber/Paxman's set up I'm sorry to disabuse you of it... and about Father Christmas... oh never mind). One team is supposed to be posh while the other is comprised of scallywags and ne'er-do-wells. Anyhoo the point of this long and boring paragraph is that the other day the 2 teams were Snow Patrol (posh ones on top) (ooer) and Astrid (scumbags down below) (ooer again). Unfortunately you never can tell who they're having (blimey) but no doubt it will be repeated. This is UK Play after all. So if you are so inclined/obsessed and can see Digital TV then watching every single episode should see you sorted on the Astrid/ Snow Patrol front. I should here mention a Mark &! ! ! Lard website looked after by arch B&S fan and Bus Stop editor Kristen Bailey but I don't know its address. For those of you who were raving about Angelica let me say I saw them the other night at The Barfly and they were better than that kitten song led me to believe. I was standing outside wondering what was (and still probably is) the quickest route to Camden Town tube station so I asked this blonde girl. She was very smiley and apologetic saying she didn't know cos she's from sunny Lancashire (?). I thought she worked behind the bar. How surprised I was to see her playing guitar with Angelica half an hour later. I was really there to see Rosita and they were v.good. Best gig I've seen 'em do. I'm going to see the Mighty Arab Strap on Thursday at The Union Chapel. I'll be alone as I don't know anyone who likes them so if you fancy meeting up with a pretty shy but (hopefully) friendly chap then give us an email. Can anyone tell me is "New Paths to Helicon" on Mogwai's "Ten Rapid"? It's my favourite by them (ever since Bowlie which practically blew my head off- even the tough Glaswegian hecklers next to me were stunned into head shaking silence) but I haven't got it. Finally, list crush. Do you know what it's like to never have been even thought of as a suggestion for a half baked nomination on the list crush site? Can you imagine such a thing? The anguish? The ignominy? Knowing that no-one in all God's creation cares 2 farthings for you? Being despised in all quarters, hounded from pillar to post like a cur stricken with the crawling lurgy? Still nevermind, eh? Mustn't grumble. Keep yer pecker up. Right, I'm off.

That's if anyone's interested...... I have a new mother. And a new father too. Which is all slightly odd. I've not met them yet, I don't know what they're like. But I got a letter from my mother today telling me who she was. Quite considerate I suppose. It's not that I've abandonned or carelessly lost my current parents, it's just I've got some more to go with them. It seems a good idea in many ways. You must have your work cut out for you being a parent. I have a new brother and sister too, who I'll enjoy meeting I hope. Eh, what is going on? you might ask. Well, it's quite simple. I'm about to embark on university life, and they reckoned I might need some parental love and care to protect me from the wicked lures of my demanding tutors. Rather kindly, one of them wrote me a letter too, a very nice letter of introduction, rather usefully suggesting that I should write an essay about George Eliot - I can't remember the exact title, but it was about how her novels progress from the abstract to the concrete, and how her characters eveolved from the moral consciousness - before I go up. It's nice to know I'll be able to find some use for my brain again, and if Mum (#2) would make me cups of tea to stimulate me it might help. (In an ideal world there'd be a Mum #3 too, who wears maternal pink pyjamas.) So that's why I'm going to be quiet - I'm back to my computerless place in England to muse over pastoral carpenters, and rose-cheeked maids while trying to get to know my parents. Surely scope for a Belle and Sebastian song in that? I'll be back on when I'm more settled, and have discovered the university computer room. B&S content? Erm, I remember a while ago someone talking about Lisa and Chelsea going to a school where the boys go with boys and the girls with girls, and thought in the light of Marcus being mistaken for a lesbian that it would probably be an abortive experiment (because some boys look like girls and vice versa). Do I make sense? I knew a girl once who said that homosexuals should be allowed in the army, but should be separated from the heterosexuals. Struck me as odd. I had visions of a Gay Pride pink air craft carrier floating on the waves, and fun and games with rifles..... Not of course that they couldn't serve a purpose in a heterosexual relationship. Sorry, that was a bit sick. I'd better go.

The election results came in today, and I lost. Yes, you heard me. It appears I'm too weird, too controversial, and I wouldn't be approachable to most people. Oh dear. You know, I try my best to be nice, but if you're the girl in pink tights, you're the girl in pink tights, and theres always going to be someone who gets a bit dizzy and confused. Why wear ties, and glittery scarves and white tights with dolly shoes when you could wear dirty trainers with jogging pants, with big neon labels on? Why indeed. Well excuse me for indulging my librian fetish, but surely I'm nice enough for people to come and say "oi, the common room kitchen is filthy! get it sorted". Townies. They have power in numbers. Jarvis said: "We won't use bombs, we won't use guns", but I've tried using my mind and failed miserably. Bastards. At Tigermilking on saturday night a particular darling played 'Just for a Second' for me, by Orlando, and, to follow tradition from my previous attemps at requests at various dives, the floor cleared. Leaving me painfully aware of the space around me as I shook my thing. I felt naked, I tell you. Talking of naked people, I went to my first life-drawing class this evening. I got to sketch an old man's droopy ding-a-ling with a selection of other giggling teenage girls. Obviously I tried to get the place with a back view of his hairy bottom, but low and behold the intructor keep shifting the poor man about, until we'd all had a good look. Why is it on Corination street's art classes they get Adam Ricket's lithe body to gawp over, and we get a sixty year old man with excess bodily hair, called Stan? We actually got warned in advance, that if poor old Naked Stan got a hard-on during the session, we should all laugh it off, as it is, of course, entirely natural. It's happened before, you see. It's hard for Naked Stan to control himself in a room full of fresh faced teenagers, frowning delicatley over their spectacles. What a bizzare few days I've had. Life, it's been rather up and down for me at the moment. There's been a bit of scandalous snogging, plenty of bruising, a debonair with silly hair who I was meant to hate forever but ended up being strangely diplomatic with. People I probably should have made more of an effort with, but didn't hold it against me when I needed picking up.....and girls who try it on with everyone, and still want to be your friend. What does it all mean? and what matters really, when you've got 'Put the book back on the shelf' and some tea and sympathy. It wasn't love, it just felt like it. Darren Hayman said that. He needs to get his hair cut.

Message-ID: <007901bf03b6$500e2a20$a9f02a9e@rmagarfur> Hello, sinisterines! Hi there for the first time, since I've been given a voice in the very last days.. I've been reading through all your postings during my improvement-time, and, first of all, I've noticed that I should improve my english, you know, since I have some problems with lots of stuff you wrote. So, I guess I must apologize for any mistake you could find in my messages, from now on. You know, I had a sad dream last night... I dreamt I was so old and so ill, I was stuck in a wheel-chair, and I was feeling so sad, so terribly sad about being with nobody, while watching my friends, walking around me, and laughing, "Oh, stupid old kind of person, if only we could leave him here, he will surely die.. nobody will notice"... and I tried to move, I did my best to move, even my fingers... and I wasn't able to talk as well... So, I started crying, and then I heard that B&S song.. "Ooooooh, get me away from here I'm crying..." and I cried a river.. But in my most crying time, I saw that girl I was once in love with (and that girl I will always be in love with), and she came over to me, and started singing... "I could kill you sure but I could only make you cry wwith these words", and then she kissed me, and she begun to cry as well, and while I noticed her tears falling down all over my face, and I kissed her eyelids, you know, I felt happy, so happy I wasn't able to control my weeping, and I cried as if I was a few months old, and, (I'm not sure about that), I guess I woke up while dying... And then, in the darkness, lying in my bed, I actually started crying.. And I thought about that girl I was once in love, and cried for a moment while listening that song, and thinking "nobody will ever kill me, or even make me cry, with any word". But maybe last night I died a bit. Sorry about such a sad first posting... But you know, that's the state that I am in.

Sadly I couldn't attend any due to (i) W:(O:(R:(K & (ii) a train-spotting trip to France this weekend.

So hurry up & release some soon, please. I'll buy two copies. I have bought some records recently but although I like most of the Death In Vegas, the other stuff, particularly Arab Strap, just passes me by without any of it sticking in my ear, so to speak. Which is NOT nice, as we're going to see Messrs Moffat & Middleton on Saturday & I now suspect they'll be dull. The best CD I purchased recently was the (don't laugh) remastered first Roxy Music album. Beautifully packaged, fantastic sound & the music's bloody good, too. Not just because of reminiscing about being 16 & all that glitter first time round, either. I'm only talking about the first one, mind - it all went horribly Pete Tong soon after. Tina just brought me a mouse for my tea but I've had to decline, having dined sufficiently already. Sally returns from her retail therapy trip to Noo Yawk tomorrow: if any NYC listees saw a small & pretty person in a B&S bus T brandishing a red hot credit card I hope they were kind to her. Murdoch/Jagger connections: that bit at The Union Chapel when he leered "You wouldn't want my trousers to fall down now, would you?" Mr Rob Murdoch Stipe Barrett Wilson Halcrow wanted to know about New Paths to Helicon, which I don't think has been released*. 10 Rapid has Helicon 1 & Helicon 2 on it - my copy of New Paths to Helicon came from the Evening Session.

Message-ID: <002101bf0422$9396dc80$9bcaac3e@stout> I had a dream last night and Gerry Adams was in it. He seemed to be quite a nice bloke, actually, although I don't think I'll base any political opinions on this. All Tomorrows Picnics was pretty cocking fantastic! It's fun being able to put faces to people's names, and I ended up with lots of food that wasn't mine. Upon entry to Tigermilking I was given a packet of Love Hearts which contained a series of rather forward propositions like "Kiss Me", "Marry Me" and "Bend Me Over Baby". These proved rather embarrassing. Round here we have buses with Love Hearts saying "Kidderminster" on them. Hooray! If Peter Miller wants to know what a townie is he should visit Kidderminster where townies (locally known as Kiddy Rappers) make up about 96 per cent of the population. Bastards. A few words of advice for anyone thinking of travelling on the London Underground. The red lever next to the door isn't a support for drunk people, it's meant to be for emergencys. This often proves confusing for people from Preston where, aboard the Preston Donkey Express, they have a similar lever which they pull to have a chat with the driver about their dyke skeez. It's a good job nothing like that happened in London, isn't it? Mind you, Starry Sarah did dance to Slow Grafitti with me in a techno stylee, so I'll forgive her. Not that she pulled the emergency stop lever on the tube or anything. Oh no. Sorry, sarcasm's the lowest form of wit. Yesterday I bought the All Seeing I album and it's got some pretty good tunes, although I don't think it would be anything without Jarvis. I like the spot-the-celebrity CD sleeve, it reminded me of the Bowlie Weekender. This morning I was woken by a couple of Jehovah's witnesses - Big Loud Womaan and Little Mousey Man - who told me about the love of God. You could tell that whenever the woman spoke about how people would live in peace in the kingdom of Jehovah she wanted to say "And they'd get up before eleven in the morning too, you lazy bugger." back to bed then Robin xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Never in my entire life, even during those lazy hazy years of student depravity, had I spent twelve whole hours on the booze. Until Saturday, that is... On Sunday, walking dazedly about the streets of London, snippets of the night before gradually returned to me. Can it be true that I spent a whole £1.50 on a yellow fluffy rabbit and then shoved it in the face of anybody who crossed my path? Did I really have a feel of Spanners' (firm, in case you're interested) arse? And where on earth did that big purple bruise on my own fair behind come from? If anybody has the answer to this last question, please let me know - it's troubling me slightly, not least when I sit down. I wish that every single Sinisterine could have been there to pogo along to Teenage Kicks with us (somebody counted 57 people at the picnic, which means about 5% of us were there if my maths to be believed). I had such a lovely time and met so many lovely people that I now have a superfluity of warm and fuzzy feelings which rise to the surface whenever I think about the weekend. Not much else to say, except a hy-uge thanks to all who organised. Oh yeah, and I missed University Challenge again last night due to stupid schedulers who put it on at the same time as Eastenders and my video conking out on me. Ho hum. And one other thing. I accidentally switched on Xfm this morning. The first words I heard were "Coming up in the next few minutes we've got Stereophonics and Red Hot Chilli Peppers". That made me laugh.

Message-ID: <802567F3.00427879.00@gbemea05.emea.jwt.com> It's been so long... The last few weeks have been a dark journey through the soul. Not a particularly interesting one, but it does get relevant towards the end, so bear with me. Two weeks off work in August resulted in me unsubscribing for a while, and on my return I was horrified to discover that my devotion to the cause had severely lessened. And I remained unsubscribed. Previously I had only to listen to Slow Graffiti to be transported to Bowlie back in April, and to be once more gazing at Stuart and Isobel all bathed in a blue wash, a tear in my eye. The breakdown of LLPJ would have me clapping like a loon in my front room, the ghosts of Tigermilking past crowding my eyes and ears. (I even found that by stamping hard near enough to my hifi I could make the CD skip in true authentic fashion). Century of Fakers would take me back every time to 1997, lying in the bath, Mark & Lard on the graveyard shift playing the latest EP from everyone's newest favourite band. But then something changed (for a while) and a still sad music of apathy began in my heart. The fire was out. UNTIL... Last Saturday. It was something about Nick D's good looks and dancing feet; the Paula 'n' Brendan Comedy Explosion; Archel's chocolate fingers (a heroic last ditch attempt to keep things good and smutty); the genius of moving to the pub to get out of the rain - and then sitting *outside* the pub; Carsmile's smile and Trouser's trousers. Suddenly everything made such *sense*. Marcus recently wrote: "the more and more sinister people I meet and talk to and get to know a bit, the more I get convinced that there is really something rather special here." and he's right. It's like piecing a jigsaw together, but we're working from the inside out. And there is no edge. I suppose the point is: it was everybody at the picnic and everybody at Tigermilking that made it brilliant - even people not on the list dancing themselves stupid to another of Mixmaster Sam's exclusive B&S scratch remixes. This is the spirit of the thing, and why it reaffirmed my faith in B&S and a whole lot more. So lets make the next one even bigger and better. Everyone come. Everyone. I'm starting to sound like an NME journalist now (i.e. completely incoherent), so I'll stop. But just time for a quick B&S related incident, in the spirit of the list of old. It would appear that they've been playing IYFS on pretty heavy rotation in the Notting Hill Retro Clothes Shop (Ladies) (I was buying 6" silver stack heels). But curiously on a noticeably fast speed - presumably to check that crazy retro vibe, for it turns out Stuart M. at the wrong speed sounds a *lot* like Nancy Sinatra. I'm off to phone a friend, Chris, cos there are times when tea and sympathy just ain't enough. Lots of love and cheaply bottled sentiment, J. D. Salinger or Jeremy or more simply Jez whatever --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "you take a really sleepy man, Esmé, and he always stands a chance of again becoming a man with all his fac - with all his f-a-c-u-l-t-i-e-s intact" +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

I went and saw Magnetic Fields on Saturday Night in Oberlin, OH. Having just moved back to the Cleveland area after a 6 year stopover in Bowling Green, I'm having a hard time making friends because all of my old friends have long since bolted and I really don't have anything in common with them anyway. The point is that I keep seeing the same kids at the same shows that I go to and I am just to shy to make friends. I kind of made a friend on Saturday at the Magnetic Fields show, but then the only friend I do have right now cast shadow on our meeting claiming that maybe he was interested in me on a more crushlike basis, which I couldn't believe because no guy has ever had a crush on me before and to be honest he was kind of cute and too beautiful for me (just like most of the girls I fall for.) I saw a girl that I found captivating at both the Magnetic Fields and June of 44 shows, but again, I was too shy to say a word. Anyway, you are probably wondering where I am going with this. Word has it that there is a strong contingent of Ohio based sinisterites. Maybe some of you love indie pop just like I do. Maybe you would like to get together and go to shows or coffee or something. It's just a thought. I'm not alone out there am I?

Sorry, I seem to be writing in uncharacteristically short sentences, which I probably should learn to speak in, given the great difficulty I seemed to be having talking at the weekend. Didn't stop me trying though. Is everyone bored of people talking about what they did and who they met yet? Tough, I'm going to talk about exactly that. I met loads of people I know, and loads more I didn't, but do now. First time encounters with Archel, Weejay (did you get somewhere to stay OK - I did try and find you and couldn't, sorry), the Paula Cullen Booze Explosion (who completely failed to live up to her name by NOT BRINGING DRINK TO THE PICNIC, but deserves props for recognising me by my duffel coat), Juicy Lucy, her friend whose name I doubt I could spell (and Kim the rabbit, natch), Claire T, Jan, Dr Sean H and his never-ending supply of change for the phone, erm, some other people, sorry, it's all a bit blank...hearing someone ask if they could get together with Ally to make disco babies at the weirdest party in the world (cheers, Joss)...realising that squirrels turn into cats when you throw things at them...discovering that English goats are great...going home from Tigermilking in a shopping trolley...realising I have more friends in London than here at home...the Radio Ga-ga-style TIGGERJAMMIES moment at the end of Tigerwanking...waltzing to All Saints...watching Nick Dastoor dance/do Joanna Lumley impressions...being the second best team in the PoCaff pop quiz...going on a bus past B&S Support Services...these were a few of my favourite things. And oh, unfeasible amounts of respect to the impossibly lovely Nickie D for letting me take over his sitting room for four nights. And no, Nick, that doesn't say "cock" :) And to Lixi for having a local pub that plays 70s WHO to end my weekend in true Sinister fashion. I had a Sinister (and sinister) dream too. It involved Erica and Alan Shearer. It scared me. But not as much as waking up from the dream to find out that I was in bed with Trousers. I love you all. Can I come back soon?

Fair play, I spent a small shedload of money this weekend, money I didn't really have, but i am *so* glad I did because every time I go to a Sinister gathering I realise how special you all are and, as several people have also mentioned, I'm sure I now have more friends on this list than in "real life". I know I sound a bit gushy and overcome but, what can I say, you're a great bunch of kids ;¬) xoxo CarsmileSteve +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Ailsa said on her pooter: hearing someone ask if they could get together with Ally to make disco babies at the weirdest party in the world (cheers, Joss)... And there wasn't actually a ~ but maybe there should have been. For the uninitiated, I dragged a ton of Sinister folk to a party/gig thing on the strength of a phone message which said it was the greatest thing ever. Then I lost them (Dr Pants said they were all in the stoner room, natch). Needless to say, it was somewhat poor. Sorry. But isn't Stoke-Newington beautiful? ;) So, yes. That London business. Marvellous. Some personal highlights: Before the Betsy Trotwood, my flatmate managed to get us in free to a free booze thing for some terrible band called Day One. They were, of course, utter balls, but there was this Irish journalist there who I ended up talking metal with. As you do. He suggested we form a band for him to manage and call our first LP 'Passport to Hell'. Then on the way to the Betsy, he began canvassing public opinion on the tube. People on the tube don't know how to react when confronted with such earnest questioning. A bemused Italian man agreed that Passport to Hell was a winner, but thought that claiming we were cannibals was a little much. Another man thought the cannibal thing was a go-er, but maybe we should lose the shirts. Everyone else ran away. It was a truly classy drunken display. He also told me about being on tour with Squeeze in 1980 when they dumped their sandwiches and booze rider in a big pile and skated around the dressing room on it. I hope B&S do that on their next tour. Seems the logical step once the first guitar has been smashed. Another good bit was me and Brendan (Mr Booze Explosion, if you will) having a Tigermilking piggyback fight with Dr Pants and Tim Hopkins. We lost, but only because Trousers fights dirty. My friend Sean saw notorious East End criminal 'Mad' Frankie Fraser on the tube. I'm upset that I wasn't there. Just imagine having a picture with the man on your wall? I could've made a brasseye style 'madometer' to go underneath it too. (Touched up by a nonce? Oh, he'd pay for that....) For those few interested. He politely bought a ticket and sat quietly for the duration of his journey. The crazy loon. 'Mad', eh? So anyways, thanks and hellos to those who were so nice. Which means everyone except the bloke who knocked a vodka and orange over me and wouldn't buy one back. Thanks to Pam for keeping me a chickfactor for Saturday. Did anyone read the Steve Malkmus interview? Utter prick. I met him once and allowed my fondness for his band mask the fact that he was an unfriendly little shit. Still like Pavement though. Congrats to everyone who organised stuff then. Cheerio. Mr Joss np Nick Dastoor. Wanking while I write this. PS. Paula aka Booze Explosion just phoned. She said to say hello and thanks to folk too. So I did. ******The Secret Sinister Queen Appreciation Society****** +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

INNOCENT QUESTION we, as a list, tossed around the idea of some sort of sinister directory, a sort of who's where and where's it at of the sinister world. and it was a jolly good idea - it would save so many people mailing in to ask if anyone lives in slovakia and what they should for entertainment on a sunday. not that i'd ever dream of... INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL thanks to ludicrous good fortune or maybe years of honing my skills i'll be going to nitra in slovakia next week. five nights away and only one show! which means four nights to seek pleasure. guide me, friends, cos i'll need it. INSTANT PICTURES of course i'll be taking my camera, silly! and they'll be going on my new webpage when i get back. and when i make it. but with the price of domains at the all-time low of a fiver, and some shameless self-promotion needed to kick-start my freelance career i'd be stupid not to have one. INDECENT EXPOSURE and talking of webpages: if you haven't already, you should visit jessicaxo's page http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Styx/3733/. she was one of the old-school list minxes, and continues breaking hearts to this day. she's still around, studying hard and plotting hi-tech projects which will shock you all. just don't mention cyberdildonics, or the blood will all rush to her head. INVITATION ONLY mail me privately, if you will, with tourism tips for slovakia. or, more basically, where to see bands and get drunk and meet girls in nitra. and i'd really like to get the atlas idea together, if only so i won't have to be asking for help in such an obvious way. so any ideas about that would be good too. sincerely gareth +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Now while you may argue that Caravaggio is be somewhat Sinister and that Kevin Williamson is most certainly NOT...I can assure you that the result is a little unnerving.

It looked brand new and it was slightly see-through with a tacky silkscreen photo of the band on the front.

How hard can it be to rebuild my life after losing jon? i'm in a new place, with familiar people that were never particularly close to me, but i find myself opening up to them an astonishing amount. is it necessary for me to resort to drinking and partying with people i barely know just to meet some new people, maybe a cute boy who will think i'm cute, too. maybe someone with the same tastes as me, who thinks i'm smart and ambitious, respects me, appreciates me. all qualities jon lost somewhere back there. there's the hope he keeps feeding me that he's going to find them again, that things will be okay again between us. i want to believe him, but i'm a big fan of a quick fix. Of course, the drinking and partying didn't work so well last week, no matter how nice i looked or how pleasant i smelled. i batted my eyelashes and laughed honestly and smiled and didn't act like a whore or anything, but i barely got a glance from anyone, male or female. I don't drink very often. this was basically out of boredom, a way of bonding with my new housemates. i had a good enough time, but i'm sure the novelty of dressing up cute and drinking bad beer will wear off shortly. in the meantime i've started dressing cute every day, like i did my first year here, when i wanted to meet boys. when i met jon i didn't dress cute. i guess i want to compete with the attractive hip girls here that i don't feel like i can compete with. and only taking one class that happens to be off-campus at a women's college doesn't help me meet new people very much. once again i wonder why i'm writing you this. i think gibby's post regarding the girl on the bus got me a little sad, thinking about how boys don't have that reaction to me. like i'm some kind of hag or something. maybe i smell funny. obligatory b&s content in a vain attempt to attract the belle and sebbie kids here i've attached two of my badges to my book bag. unfortunately, the only thing that's accomplished is a great deal of water staining on my precious badges. i guess i'll have to order more soon. oh, and i heard twattybus being played loudly in one of the houses here as i was walking by, and it made me smile. oh dear, that was awfully depressing and you people must think i postively wallow in self-pity all the time, but it just came pouring out and now i'm not sure what to do about it. huh. hopefully list mummy hunny won't have me shot on sight or anything for boring you to tears. -kerry Homepage: http://hamp.hampshire.edu/~kwl96/crap.html +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

I really can't stand being made the butt of joke after joke, even if the jokesters are my friends. I'm not an overly senstive person I don't think, but once I realize I'm being singled out over and over (and thereby alienated) I get so pissed off and depressed I'm almost violent. I'm a fairly sarcastic person and for some reason so are most of my friends but I just really can't take it for too long for some reason. I think its because it reminds me of when I was alot younger and got picked on regularly for being artistic and dramatic and also for being the shortest one of the crowd. The people I clung to for approval totally took advantage of that and pretty much made me the self-conscious person that I am today. They were just evil and I see alot of what they did in my friends when they go out of their way to piss me off and get a rise out of me or just see how long they can torment me before I snap. I'm not the shortest one in the group anymore and I hang out with primarily artistic people but somewhere I must have a huge fucking bulls-eye painted on me and everyone seems more than happy to take aim at that. I figured that once I found a group of people who were on my wavelength and weren't judgemental that I'd be able to totally relax and be myself without fear of retribution but apparently this is not the case. I'd just really like to get an explanation out of some pompous idiots as to why this is... Ok, I feel much better now that I've said that, though still pretty angry and hurt, but I think I may be able to go to sleep now. Thanks for listening... Steve C.

It's been awhile since I posted to the list, but I had such a cool (and belle & sebastian-related) day that I got the sudden urge to post. So it goes. SUBJECT HEADINGS Whoever thought of the idea is a genius. Mad props. COOL POPSTAR ENCOUNTER Ok, so I work as a DJ for my college radio station (92 WICB, Ithaca, NY). Every Tuesday night we do a show called Artists Only, where we pick a band or artist and do a two-hour special on them. This week it was my turn, and I chose the band Madder Rose. The show was going along quite well, and with about a half hour left in the broadcast the phone rang. It was MARY LORSON of MADDER ROSE, thanking me for doing the show! How cool is THAT?!? In the fifteen years that Artists Only has been running, that's the first known time that the actual "Artist" has called in! Anyways, Madder Rose is my favorite band right about now. I haven't listened to anything else in the past two days. If you don't have their new album HELLO JUNE FOOL, I strongly recommend it. Definitely the best thing I've heard all year. With the exception of POSSIBLY East River Pipe's THE GASOLINE AGE. Get that too. Anyone else had any strange popstar encounters such as mine? DYLAN 'N DA FLICKS, YO Sorry. My ebonical self just took over briefly. Anyhow, I'm taking a POLITICS IN POPULAR MUSIC class this semester. We're currently discussing Bob Dylan's role as a political performer. Imagine my delight to come into class today and have the professor say, "We're watching a film today. It was made by E.A. Pennebaker during Dylan's tour of the UK in 1965. It's called, ummm....uhhhh..." Then I blurted out, "Don't Look Back?" And the professor stared at me and said, "Yeah, that's it." I sat there during the whole film and sung B&S to myself. People were giving me weird looks. Little do they know why... REACTION TO FILM I hate Bob Dylan more after seeing the film than I did before, which is tough to top. What a pretentious loudmouth prick. Nice film though. The TIME magazine interview is classic. IF YOU'RE FEELING SINISTER Or if you're not busy Monday nights from 10 to midnight US Eastern time, you might want to check out my radio show, the UK Blitz. We play lots of new and old stuff, lots of B&S, Smiths, Orange Juice, obscure Britpop, some dance-y stuff, a fair deal of UK indie, and loads of classic Britpop etc... If you're interested please take a gander at my website. http://listen.to/ukblitz Sorry to use the list for this shameless self-promotion. I guarantee the show rocks, though. Well well. That's all for now.

Message-ID: <19990922051111.46139.qmail@hotmail.com> I never called Blake schizophrenic. I merely mentioned that his switching around from topic to topic was a bit disconcerting. Especially, when he all of a sudden 'jumped' into up the bum sex. I think he is shamelessly vying for list crush votes myself. Why else would anyone mention up the bum sex and my name in 2 subsequent posts? ha ha ha. I would like to publicly thank all of the contributors to Laura Llew's Lovely Literary List of 1999. So far, I have 3 pages full of book suggestions and only 1 for "Catcher in the Rye." Yesterday, I finished my first book off the list. It was Lucy Adler's suggestion of Nick Hornby's "High Fidelity". It scored points with me because 1 - it listed the top 5 Elvis Costello songs which of course "Allison" was on and I was playing it at that moment when I read it. B - it details the different "rules" and overall complexity of making mix tapes. I adore making scratch tapes for others and definitely think there is an art to it. One of my roommates once commented that I spent more time making 1 mix tape for a friend than she saw me spend on homework during the 2 years we lived in the same apartment. I even have a composition book in which i keep all of the songs that i put on each tape that I make. Interesting to see that someone else was almost as anal as I am about the whole procedure. I was quite disappointed that I could only find 3 of the books from the list at my local library. A couple were checked out but they didn't have most of them. Quite discouraging - but I will keep searching for them. Oh! I almost forgot. This is for those of you who gave me book suggestions. On the list, I put down the title of the book, the author, the person's name who recommended it and their e-mail address. If you do not want to be connected with the book for the whole world to see, please let me know. (Serves you right for suggesting smut anyway. Though, I don't want this to become a forum for those trying to soar to the top of that ever so popular list crush poll by making their names synonmous with smut. I won't have it - Oh no I won't! Well, unless there is something in it for me. Then, we can negotiate. hehe) But do please send me (if you haven't already) your favorite book so that I can add it to the list. I'll send a copy to those who request it after a week or so. That should give people plenty of time to get me their recommendations. So, come on - all the cool kids are doing it. Oh! My exciting news of the millenium. I got a letter yesterday from the Dean of my school saying that my internship hours would count towards graudation (which they weren't going to allow for tedious reasons). Which means that I, Laura Llew, am going to be a college graduate as of December. YaY! Very happy am I! I have decided to name my first child after the head of my major who wrote the letter of good news - Kyle L. Pehrson (good thing it wasn't the co-director of the department who happens to be Dr. Cox. Geez, would that child be tormented on the playground). I remember he dressed up in full military uniform when we were talking about the military in my social welfare policy class. Hence, when I got the good news I watched "Harold and Maude" because he reminded me of Uncle Richard. Oh, how I do love that movie! They say its a cult film but I've only ever known 3 other people who have seen it much less liked it... That news with the arrival of a delicious 6 cd package from a member of this very list has made my entire week. Yes, 6 cds - including a copy of Tigermilk and some of the most brilliant mixes you have ever heard. I almost peed in my pants from the sheer excitement of it all. I do believe it is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me. I for one do believe that this list has the sincerest most beautiful people on it that there ever was. Not that I am in any biased. Well, I should head off to bed already before my dreams and what I am writing in this post start to intermingle. Though, that would probably be more entertaining. I'm off like a prom dress..... *See, this is how this works and this is embarassing* (if you have questions, ask Blake.)

It's so hard to decide which Smiths to recommend most highly, since my two most very favorite songs of theirs "Rubber Ring" and "Panic" aren't on my favorite album The Queen is Dead... but I'd say go with The Queen is Dead. Song for song it's got the most consistent level of quality and it withstands the most repeated listens, though lord knows they're all worth owning.... -2 or 3 things I know about chris Section 5: Word Use Pupil uses three given words in one sentence.

I'm feeling oddly excited about this in a way not unlike Tom Cruise in "Risky Business". Being far to sensible I won't be allowing my house to be overrun by gangs of dodgy people and I have no plans to wreck any expensive sports cars, but I can't rule out a spell of running around and singing in my underwear. The most likely song candidates at the moment are "Just a baby" and "Mayfly", both songs that I think deserve much more attention and acclaim. Fortunately for everyone I don't have a webcam so you'll be spared the sight of me bouncing up & down on the couch doing my best scantily clad Stuart M impression. Anyway as you might be aware about this time last week I sent a mail to the list about being to shy to go to the picnic on Saturday. Well I went and meet a load of amazing people and had the best day/night out I've had in ages. I'd just like to give everyone a *big* hug for being soooooooo nice and for making me feel welcome. I can't wait until the next get together. Hmmmm I'm positive I had something else I wanted to say. I was crammed into the Tube on the way to work with my head positively brimming with bright ideas but they seem to have been mislaid, I guess I'll save them for next time. Oh I also finally managed to see FunkySeb doing his thing in the new Moby video last night, it was excellent. I think we've got Fatboy Slim to thank for reintroducing crazy dancing to the medium of music videos, it makes a nice change from tacky synchronised dance moves. Well that's it for today, keep on being good.

Message-ID: hello have just moved to london, or, more precisely, am n the process of moving to london (staying here in an empty room during the week, back in hemel hempstead at weekends packing boxes for the big move at the start of october). anyway, walking to work this morning down the side streets of hammersmith a girl crossed the road and ended up walking 5 yards in front of me. 'oh, a bad badtz maru bag', i thought to myself, ' you don't see many of them in england'. looking more closely there was a belle and sebastian badge attached to said bag. it was about now that i should've said 'oh, a belle and sebastian fan, pleased to meet you' but i never. so if you're reading this a belated 'hello' decided not to go to the party before all tomorrow's parties that wasn' t, went to sit in a pub where other friends were meeting before the spearmint gig in camden. got there early, as expected and sat reading charles higson and listening to peel from the night before for 45 minutes before anyone i knew turned up. cath came over and said hello but nobody else did. people (more than one) i've known for 10 years didn't even cross the bar to speak to me. me, disgruntled?... so, i hope you all had a better time than i did. sounds like you did. actually, whilst i was there someone mentioned that belle and sebastian had played that weekend's nick drake tribute gig. can anyone confirm or, more likely, deny this? also, watching back old videos taped from the chart show, one of them had a snippet about stuart working with two of his idols, old time blokes who i can't remember but they were of the ilk of simon and garfunkel (scott walker? is he still alive?). was this true or was it another pack of lies? oh, if anyone has a first generation copy of that scottish b&s documentary and want's a copy of the black sessions french tv broadcast (complete with star trek:TOS style special effects) in exchange then please get in touch. ta. cheers andy koogy at clara.co.uk already thinking of moving out even before i'm fully moved in. don't ever live with anyone who owns the house cos they have too much power. landlady's latest trick, apart from hogging the bathroom in the mornings and having the tv up way too loud is turning the fridge down so that eating yoghurt becomes some sort of food poisoning version of russian roulette. oh um. was looking forward to moving to london cos of the pun potential of several of the places around here 'sexual ealing' for one, 'solid gold, easy acton' for another. 'peaches and cheam'. i end up living in hammersmith and i can't think of anything for hammersmith. arse. hopkins? you doing anything for your birthday? mine's 3 days earlier and i was thinking of inviting everyone around for combined flat warming / birthday thing (you can also help me re-alphabetise my cds after the move) but if you've other plans then, well, i'll just sit in my room and mope. again. irn bru is now 29p a can at selected retailers. clara web based mail thingy for accessing my clara account from anywhere. it's pants. it has a five minute timeout on it so if you sit there writing a reply to someone and it takes you more than five minutes to do it then you have to copy everything to the buffer, log back in again, create a new mail and paste your reply into it in order to send the damn thing. just as i have to do now... see you. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

And contrary to Arantxa's suggestion, nor was I larging it in Tuscany or the Riviera. I was on a 4 day jaunt to Nottingham (the so-called Robin Hood County, which seems to be getting more and more exposure on this list. It's the new Camden Town Tube Station). RAW LIKE TIMBERLAND WEAR (YEAH) Ace weekend though. My personal highlight was going to a party with my policeman friend. It was going well, people were chatting and drinking and having fun, when this lad started to skin up right opposite my mate. And my mate asked him to put it away until he left. This lad tutted and rolled his eyes, so my friend explained quite calmly that if he didn't put it away he would be arrested. And the entire room (bar my friend and I) promptly got up and left. I pissed myself laughing for about 20 minutes, then we thought we'd better leave. So we went to the pub and played darts. I kicked his arse. The perils of being a copper I suppose (the unpopularity, not the darts). LIKE A TERRORIST HARD TO CAPTURE It *was* funny though. And I was proud of him really, even if he did effectively make us both social lepers. What a guy. RAW LIKE COCAINE STRAIGHT FROM BOLIVIA I went on one of those funny outward-bound team-building days in Kent last week. It was chronic. I'm not into this outdoorsy stuff, especially when these courses always seem to be run by ex-army mentalists who can't get jobs teaching PE. Put me inside, put the telly on, give me a vodka & tonic. There, I'm happy. MY HIP-HOP WILL ROCK AND SHOCK THE NATION I'll tell you what; University Challenge my arse. Well it's OK really, but there is a big 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire'-shaped hole in my life. Popkids, I saw each and every show (I reckon) and if C.T. (as I beleive Mr Tarrant likes to be known) presented University Challenge and the kids could win a million quid I'd be more likely to watch it. LIKE THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION Sorry, I've said too much. I'd better go. To all the Sinister Kids starting uni this week; have a wicked time, and save the last dance for me. And remember; It's only easy if you know the answer.

We'll call it Wiz Aid, and I urge all of you to buy it and support him and the many other hapless prisoners of their own handsomeness, whose lives are made a misery by parasitic nymphomaniacs the world over. Townies. Haven't heard that in a while. The kids from the public school up the road used to use it to describe us commoners from the comprehensive, because we all had lice.

Message-ID: <37E8EDEC.3DFA3A7F@cs.strath.ac.uk> A WARNING *On a scale of 1-10 in terms of being really wanky and going on about what a fantastic time I had in London while pissing off everyone who isn't me basically, this post is an approximate 16. I'm giving you the chance to delete now.* --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When is the Robin Hood centre going to be changed to the Robin Stout centre? The latter is a much more important historical figure. In my bedroom, at least. Hmm, I have a strange feeling. Why, yes, I do believe I'm sober. Although it may not seem that way. Bloody hell's arses, what a completely awful weekend. Not really of course, the power of suggestion and all that; it was cocking (cock, Nick) well amazing in the most amazing sense of the word. I think I actually had a better time than I would have had if I'd actually gone to ATP and I saved 100 squid into the bargain. From London zoo. They're in my bath right now. Anyway, on to business: Archel put dainty hands to keyboard and the following was the result: > imagine, > all squeezed up in print next to alisdair and ailsa. makes me tingle just > thinking about it. And bizarrely enough she almost got her chance on Saturday night/Sunday morning (and not just in print, neither), and would have done if bloody "Wowser" Trousers hadn't been so quick into that bed and got himself a double A side, if you know what I mean. Meat in the sandwich indeed. He also woke up with some rather strange stains on his shirt which could not be explained away by anyone present. Someone wasn't telling the truth. I reckon it was Dastoor, but don't tell him. Of course the stains could have been obtained on Saturday night at the worst party ever. In fact it was so bad it was all we could do to steal a mirrorball and run away. If anyone wants to see it it's up in Trousers' kitchen. Earlier in the night was tigerbashing, which went well although ingesting as much fizzy pop as I did has led to some memory blocks, and questions need to be answered. For example: Whose hand was that I was holding? How many people did I invite to Glasgow? How can a chip shop run out of chips? Exactly how naked did I get? How big is Stuart's winky, and why didn't Owen look? Why does finding an empty shopping trolley in the street and then pushing each other along in it seem like the most normal thing in the world when you're pissed? Did anyone say they'd shag me? Didn't think so. I do remember though that people asked if 2 different ladies were my girlfriends, which considering the girls involved was very complimentary to me and much less so to them. But they weren't. At the picnic earlier we played football for exactly 19 minutes according to someone before the rains came and all the soft English ponces present ran away. It was only a bit of water! However, good old Touche Turtle scored 2 excellent goals to win us the day, and I got grass stains. Luckily the Playforth chocolate finger and flump supply kept me going. On Friday we discovered that the best B&S song to dance to is officially Le Pastie..., and that you just can't dance to Hometown Unicorn. And I almost got very annoyed (a rare event, unless someone says Star Wars is great) at a barmaid who didn't give me any change from a tenner after I'd purchased 4 drinks. It took me ten minutes to find out that this was actually the cost of the drinks, which was mildly embarassing, and almost made me miss dancing to Vapour Trail. The night before I was almost carted to hospital in shock after witnessing the POP sensation for the next century that is Baxendale. I thought the Clientele were OK, but since hearing them on record they have now become bloody great. And apparently Baxendale's records are shite. So it goes. It was incredibley lovely to meet people for the first time including Rachel, Jan, Claire, Nic, Craig, Paula, Dan, Dr Sean, Natasha (officially the best girlfriend in the world), Weejay and Josh from Holiday. I also got to tell Ian SarahCracknellKidnapper that he's a genius, which he seemed slightly bemused by. Unfortunately I managed to miss Juicy Lucy, Spanners and some others, although I may have met them and just have been too pissed to remember. Which is probably the case. Anyway, apologies for being quite hideously drunk almost permanently, and thanks to everyone, but especially huge thanks to Sez, Tim, Stevie and Nick for putting me up and for putting up with me, and to Joe Brooker for being a genius and still humouring me by playing REM songs for me to (very badly) sing. The Foxgloves rule. English goats are great. That's all. Love, Alasdair xx PS You haven't lived until you've tasted Pam Berry's banana bread. And all she got in return was a silly badge. Good deal, I thought. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

This is a shout-out to all my b&s homies. I am a new sinister-type. Just a quick question. I am the only black guy into b and s? I don't know anyone else who is black and down with belle and sebastien. Not that it means anything. Because it don't mean a thang, if you ain't feeling sinister. More importantly, this is some props to the boy checking the girl on the bus. Don't think twice, go find the girl at the grocery store, and get her digits. It'll be aiight. On the Bob Dylan tip, let me just say to the guy disrespecting Bob, there is no point in dissin him. There is no justification. Don't be playa hatin'. To the guy looking to buy a new disc, seems to me that if he's on a B&S list, he should really be buying the B&S selection. On the B&S tip, am I stating the obvious by suggesting the tune WE RULE THE SCHOOL is a great tune that blatantly steals from the classical tune Pacabel Cannon (spelling?). I could be dreaming, though. Peace to all the good people. the original G. You broke my heart and you made me cry. You said that I couldn't dance.

Message-ID: <19990922180213.29472.rocketmail@web108.yahoomail.com> Does anyone else think Laura Llew should share her giant book list? I'm super curious about it. Maybe Honey can find a place in the library for such a list... That would make my millenium. Maybe it could be added to on-line even. Okay, maybe that's asking a lot, I know you're busy. But just the list then? Please? I'm on my virtual knees. Sharing is good. Grovelling bit over. I saw Godspeed You Black Emperor last night! They were amazing! The place was packed too - sold out. By the end of the show, quite a few jaws had unhinged in awe. Even the guy who kept calling people on his cell phone saying, "yeah, I'm at a concert, maybe we can hook up later, etc." had a moment of silence. I left very happy, in a similar to mood as after last week's Mogwai show. Two great shows in less than 2 weeks - wow. And, yes, yaaay to Kids in the Hall. This show accompanied me throughout my teenage years and on into uni, so I feel obliged to go see Dog Park (though the ads do make it seem very hollywood romantic comedy - I will give Bruce the benefit of the doubt.) Now everyone, do not be afraid, go rent Brain Candy! Another good thing about living in Canada: an hour of Kids in the Hall btwn 7 and 8 on the Comedy Network. Episodes are starting from the first season again! A good reason to learn how to program the vcr. Back to working indoors on possibly the last sunny *and* warm day for a long, long time...

I'm still a happy girl. I'm learning to bellydance and I've no belly (just tummy and it's just not enough) It's been more than a year since I've gotten on the list and I'm none the wiser. last night I was making chat with a girl (who incidentally doesn't like pink. I don't like pink so that's what's called bonding), and amid all our circular wanderings about our insufferable problems I said, "ten years ago I was twelve" and started laughting, because all of a sudden all the problems big as buildings towering over us really seemed silly. Ten years ago I was reading Nancy Drew mysteries and Sweet Valley Highs and wishing for love. Ten years later I'm reading David Foster Wallace and East of Eden. Everything's the same, just there aren't happy endings. Books for "older" people never do. i'm really liking the list a lot lately. It's been awhile since i've corresponded to people on the list. (Hello you people. Christa, did you get my tape?) especially the love rants. to the boy on the bus, you should go and say hello. my buddy robert's been chatting up a girl in a flowershop of late, and that's always the best sort of story, even if there's a bad ending, or even if there's no ending, and the romance is just sort of forgotten before it's really begun. As much romance as possible, if possible, i say. even if it ends in crushing loss. Just to have the ability to be romantic is beautiful, enough to make life worth living.

Was it you that stayed at my house? Were you the floppy red hair and the beautiful fingernails? See, I have no idea, Im still hung over four nights later, ooooeeeuurggh, it was a bad idea all that picnic virgin congregation y'know, (well, all three of us, one of which wasn't even a virgin, you little prostitute Mr Steve) Well no actually it was a very good thing, as is not taking anything to put the wine in so you think its a beer bottle and swig it all down very very rapidly. Excruciatingly rapidly. Which was great, and the Spread Eagle was great, unfortunately I dont remember much Tigerbashing bercause I had drunk it rather too quickly. No actually I think that was Steve at the Spread Eagle "Do you want a drink?" "No I'll fall over" "OK" "Actually, no Steve can I change my mind, a pint of vodka please". Blame it all on you, yeah, makes me feel better. Anyway, I got quite ill then, and I know I stood on my glasses, or someone did, so I dont know if they still were on my head at the time, I had a very large headache the next day:-( And I lost my purse, so Steve and you(?) had to pay for the taxi home, then I went to the loo and found Id stored it in my knickers:-( Its OK, last time I stored my camera in my bra. I stored my purse in there once and a lovely women I never met called a cab and gave me twenty quid and her address to get me home:-) So, for anyone I didnt shout and scream at and attack, Im sorry, Im the one with her camera in her bra, her purse in her knickers, a pint of vodka down her front and a glazed look in her eyes. Oh and apparantly I fell asleep at Tigermilking according to Steve, but I dont remember this. I was having no nice and cool dreams, I was searching under tables for my purse, and my knickers. So sorry for that. But it was great to meet people, Steve, Craig, Alasdair, Juicy Lucy, archel, Nick, and anyone else I met, especially before I injected the vodka down my throat and fell asleep.

Message-ID: <01b801bf0545$b914e5a0$4486883e@default> (yes, jeff beck. its a wolverhampton thing) hullo...its me.. i think... yes..two lines into the mail and i'm incoherent already. well, it seems that nothing much changes... its been a right funny few days and no mistake... i return from london to find a strange message on my answering machine..a suppressed whine, followed by a half-screamed phrase and then a gurgle. after a few listens, we decided the phrase was "help me". on subsequent plays, it sounded more like "hold me". well, what the buggery bollocks am i supposed to do with that sort of message? i can't go out holding everyone i meet, just incase, can i? i asked some people at the bus stop this morning if they had been leaving messages on my machine, and if they wanted me to hold them. a lot of them moved away, muttering things about viagra.. so i've decided i'm just going to hold certain people and hope that one of them is the mystery speaker. and if it seems coincidental that they're all sweet faced young lads then i'm afraid thats one of the mysterious ways of the universe... oh...that wasn't what i meant to say at all. from where i'm sitting, rain, falling against the lonely appartment has set my mind to nonsense.. so.. i had a fun weekend. big hugs to jim taylor for agreeing to put up three virtual strangers, i remember meeting lots of groovy people, although i wish you hadn't all been so blurred. sorry to anyone i dribbled on excessively. lucy, yes i'm afraid you did introduce your rabbit to all and sundry. what is worse, you encouraged me to do the same. okay, i didn't need all that much encouragement. strange that i'm more willing to go up to someone, shove a yellow rabbit in their face and say "have you met horace?" than i am to go up and say "hello, i'm ian"... so, onto other things...last night i met my stalker. i keep telling him to go away, back to liz hurley and andie macdowell and that little flat in notting hill but it seems that my words fall on deaf ears. he is even now leaning on a lampost at the corner of the street, flicking a cigarette lighter nonchalantly and eyeing my window from under a fedora hat. i've told him i have no intention of covering him in sunpat crunchy and allowing my cats to lick it off, i've told him i'm not into stilettoes, and even if i was, i wouldn't agree to put them THERE... no response. what should i do? it seems that the attractions of hollywood are nothing compared to the lights of oaklands road.. oh...that wasn't what i meant to say at all.. pete said the following: >Mr. James Herriot again. I thought for a short while of trying >to apologise for my previously drunken behaviour at the Saint Trinians >night, but I didn't, for one reason. Have you any idea how hard it is >to keep a straight face when you're sitting next to someone who: >a) is dead, dead, famous >b) met you last when you had "SLUT" written in lipstick on your >forehead, and >c) has been seen by Ian having rampant anal sex with an Orang-utan?? actually, it was three orang utans, a milk float, and rolf harris. i didn't want to watch but i found myself unable to look away. and all i'm saying was...rolf was bottom.. you'd never have guessed what that man can do with his beard. (and no, i'm not talking about the one on his face) Georgie said: LOVE AND WOLVERHAMPTON TOWN wolverhampton town? are you actually from the fair isle of wolvo? and is there anyone else out there from the west mids?

It was great, we drank and drank and drank... just like the football players in high school used to brag about... "Dude we got soooo wasted." I really respected those guys. All that beer... and all the hot sex. Then I threw up all over myself... (It was sooo cool.) And then I spent the night at my house, in my own bed, and I had sex with me. The music was amazing, (acoustics are great in my closet.) And I was amazing on the dance floor. A little nervous at first, but, after a few drinks, I looked damn good in the full-length mirror that hangs on the inside of my closet door. So anyway, you're all invited next time. We might have to do it somewhere else though, my closet's just a tad stuffy. Oh, and a word about those damn townies... Let's restrict our bigotry to bigots. Have Fun!!!

The new Stereolab album is enchanting! I highly recommend it to all listees. It is a completely realized work, possibly their finest since 'Transient Random Noise Bursts With Announcements.' A must have for those chilly autumn nights... As for Neutral Milk Hotel- phenomenal!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Both albums are incredible...The 'Everything Is' ep is also tremendous. There is nothing like seeing them live, Julian cross bones style playing the singing saw, sweat dripping down it's silvery blade! Jeff's voice is a gift from the heavens. The Olivia Tremor Control are also amazing. As well as Apples in Stereo, Elf Power and Of Montreal. All fall under the Elephant Six collectively... Pretty hot shit if you ask me. And they are super cool chaps! When NMH and EP played the Middle East in Boston, we hung out with them and my dear friend wound up sharing her bed with Andrew, the lead singer of EP. We were also treated to a ride in their Winnebago, where Laura and Jeff made us some tea! Turns out that they wound up parking the Winnie in my friends driveway out on Long Island...close to where Julians Grandmamma lives...It was a a surreal experience...I mean here is this band that we listen to incessantly, know all the lyrics and such. And then we find ourselves sipping herbed tea and such... What a pleasure to find that people who you really admire from afar can turn out to be intelligent, down to earth and friendly individuals. I highly doubt this is your typical Rock Star behavior... That was my rant for the month...

We even made up a 'savage' gesture so that there could be no ambiguity about when someone was being savage and when they weren;t. But oh me, how low and terrible i feel now. I was even playing the smiths earlier before tabla class picked me up, which goes to show just how low i really was. I thought i'd gotten all my smiths out of my system earlier this year and that i would never be that sad again. I SKIPPED LINGUISTICS it's dull, and my teacher reminds me of Emo Phillips. THERE IS SINISTER BUSINESS AT THE REFERENCE LIBRARY. The MetroRef Library just switched their cataloguing system from an older, more elegant, text-based cataloguing system to a bright, sunny, insulting windows based one. The librarian at the help desk and i consoled eachother, and she told me that i was a very sharp boy. In the old system, when you put in a stacks request on the computer you got to pur in any name you wanted. This created much juvenile mirth as you could get books ordered up for anyone: L. Wittgenstein, bobo the wonder dog, I.M.A. Penis etc. the fun was unending let me assure you. The new system is all secure and fake seeming. they make you enter your library card number so that they can no doubt keep track of who reads what so that no one is caught getting too many smutty art books or something. So feeling glum about the new library system i went over to pick up my books from the stacks shelf under my last initial. and when i went to look at the little form that was stuck in the book to see how much information was divulged by the computer from my library card to the stacks person it said: Patron: K thats it, Patron:K which pulled a wire out of my brain, because suddenly it wasn't me who had ordered the book but some hard done by fictional character created by franz kafka. i felt that when i awoke the next morning i would find two strange men in my appartment who would keep me from having breakfast until they'd interrogated me. "...does frau grubach know you;re here? Where;s my breakfast?"

To me, "Hateful of Hollow" is their best album (it contains the first of several repeats of my favorite Smiths song "How Soon Is Now?") and represents an excellent synopsis of their singles from the pre-1984 period. And, in my mind, this timer frame represents their best work. Just be aware that many songs are repeated in typical Smiths fashion on "The Smiths" and "Hateful of Hollow," e.g. "Hand in Glove," "Still Ill" (albeit it is a different version on "Hateful of Hollow").

I like it more each time I listen, so my logic was to wait until I couldn't possibly love it any more before I posted, thus sparing y'all day-by-day song-by-song posts. Can't describe how good it is. What relief that Stephin Merritt's eyes weren't bigger than his stomach, if that computes. It's not unlike that Sinister thread a while back about everyone's theories on love. It was fascinating because everyone feels differently, but equal ferventness (word?), and I found bits of empathy and comfort and wisdom in most of them, which is exactly what 69 Love Songs is like. It's Merritt's vision but it's like an intimate conversation because even though it's so vast,it's so detailed. --Jennifer ps I'm thrilled to bits that the Kids in the Hall are finally, maybe off the oil slick that is their post-Kids career.

"he acts like he's a guard at the tower of london. he's got to check every 10 seconds to see if the crown jewels are still there." oh man, this is so crazy. so far this actually looks promising. nerdy boy falls for this "walking wet dream" [characters words not mine]. wowsers. calamity. hey i needed some sort of light entertainment. okee. i am all for a picnic in the dc area darlings. i'd love to meet all these lovely folks. i have not seen ms. christa for a bit. she's in another country, no? does anyone want to trade zines? umm, if you do drop me a line with something like zine in the heading. i'm on two lists with this email addy and i get oodles of mail so...there! oh today i had a very unpleasant experience. probably worse than going to the doctor. is there *anyone* at all on sinister who is in a frat/sorority? cos i really never ever got that impression from ANY post to this list. anyways, if you are in one maybe close your eyes or delete this mail. at my school, george mason univ. in ffx,va i'm a dj on WGMU 1370 am, our radio station. anyways, for the class we have to choose something else to do to help out WGMU. there are about five things. i chose to work on the WGMU zine. something that the music director just decided she wanted to start this year. i chose to help cos i do a zine and i actually really enjoyed the thought of helping out wgmu. anyways purr. so the other person who volunteered for the zine's name is ian. and he seemed nice enough. but then today we were talking about who might buy ads in our zine and he suggested "greek row" or something. and i asked what that was and he answered "it's right across the street. they sell all sorts of fraternity stuff." and immediately i felt ill and i made the mistake of saying so out loud. turns out he is the *president* of this fraternity. his favourite singer is bryan adams. he spends all of his free time studying or at fraternity related events. he has never seen a zine in his life. he thought a zine was an all black and white magazine. he has only been to three or four concerts in his life. okay. all of this equals disaster. i like bryan adams fine. but all the rest irks me. he asked why we shouldn't get ads from a fraternity related store and that if we didn't take ads that they could sue us or something. and i was like "well i don't want to get ads from a conformist group like a frat/sorority, because that's not what a zine is about at all." and he said "you don't know anything about fraternities." it was seriously a scene out of a bad movie. i was so distraught at that moment. i mean heck, he was talking about adding GRAPHS to the zine saying how many albums say [his example] ricky martin has sold so far. i was completely and utterly disgusted. heck, i still am. so you can see why i need to get my mind off this shite and onto nerdy indie boy in this movie. the sound track is not half bad! whee. okay. << end rant >> okay phew. hello. oh *wave* to newish? kid from sinister at umd. are there any other dc/va/md kids hiding in the nursery? oh i started a dc/va/md list so that us kids can keep trrack of meet ups/picnics/whatnot from clogging up the list. whee. http://sinisterdc.listbot.com so if you want to keep in touch with like the 10 of us in the area [so far] then join. it's not a lot of mails. unless picnic time is near which there are a couple a day at most. whee. okay time to watch this. aiee. evol, madflowr OH MAN DO YOU KNOW WHAT? the innocence mission is on the soundtrack to this movie. WHACK. i have heard them mentioned like at least 4 times this week. neato.

My friends and I were driving back to my friends flat, after a thwarted attempt to go dancing and drinking. When we saw a dead cat on the road. I immediately stopped. My friend was in shock because we were close to her house and her cat Bella has just recently gone missing. It wasn't Bella. But some bastard had just run over a cat and not even stopped. It was a beautiful cat. We moved it to the side of the road so at least it would not have to be re run over. I mean wasn't his death bad enough? We left a note in case the owners were looking for it as it had no collar so we couldn't ring the owners. I had a dream last night and that cat was in it. On the road. It wasn't pleasant. I'm sorry if you saw the subject line and thought this would be a twee post about kittens. But at least today things started to get better. For me. Not for the cat. I don't think things will ever get better for the cat. I recieved my fabulous Study at stow T-shirt from the kind folks at jeepster. Oh what joy. And then I sat back and listened to 'ocean songs' by the Dirty three. 'Ocean songs' on vinyl on a sunny afternoon.Ahhhhhh.Followed by a helping of Tigermilk. Can you get much better? Probably, but at the moment I'm content. Can't stop thinking about the cat though and the bastard that left him there. Helen.

The Smiths eponymously titled first album is by far the worst thing they ever committed to record. Hatfull of Hollow however is superb and one should buy this as the definitive early Smiths introduction. The Queen is Dead is clearly their best album for me, although Strangeways is also superb and Moz and Marr frequently cite it as their favourite album. Basically you should buy all of them but the first album really does pale into insignificance next to all of the others in the Smiths cannon and anyone who says otherwise is talking absolute twaddle. Whilst in NY I was very pleased to hear Belle and Seb played in quite a few of the bars I visited and I felt very cool wearing my Stow shirt. I even managed to overcome my fear of hights by going up one of the World Trade centre towers, something I was too terrified to do on previous visits. However I did get a tiny bit scared when a helicopter passed below me when I was on the roof but apart from that it was fantastic.

Message-ID: <19990923100010.HM.00000000001eh87@mixmail.com> Hi, sinisterland: I�m translating "the Story of Sebastian" (the comic) to spanish, and I�d like to know if anyone from the spanish community or mr.Miller (or Starry Sarah,) can give me the right translation for "candyfloss flavour" (I don�t trust the dictionary one). In spanish, the comic looks gorgeous, even though my handwriting is terrible. Nice to see that there�s more spanish people on the list. I was beginning to think that the italians were beating us. Of course, it doesn�t happen in football... I agree that the most appropiate album for introducing yourself to the Smiths is "Hatful of hollow", even though "The queen is dead" is much better. I know that it�s not related to this, but I must recommend strongly the first Cane 141 album. Along with "The boy..." (I must be the only one who thinks that is the best B&S album), Suede�s "Dog man star", "Ladies and gentlemen..." and IYFS is one of the best albums of the decade.

Today in the coffee shop i saw a bloke that reminded me of stuart murdoch. thusly he was rather attractive, much liek a lithe Greek youth, or an androgyne (we all know androgynes are the holiest of beings). i would hav eliked to sit him down and draw him. just his facial structure and his build, were murdochian in some abstract way. i don't know. btw gareth i got your email and sweetie i will write you....err...soon... *) so anyway, i'm sitting here listening to Moonshake with a mint julep mask on my face and watching my Jasmine Mist tea steep in it's clear plastic glass. cheap loser i am. my stomach is flipflops, and i'm having visions again. just a minute i'll be rt back...well i apologize if this post is totally irrelevant, but if we didn't have room to be so it would be a Nazi list ruled by the iron fist of HoneyFuhrer, relegated to comments like "What is Century of Fakers about", and "i'd really like to have sex with isobel". i was just thinking that sinister is almost like a support community in some ways, at least for me--just in the sense that i have met so many beautiful and sincere people here, and i'm so grateful for that. i've never experienced that on this newfangled whatchamajiggy "the internet". ugh. i just feel like.....i went out wiht my friend stacy and it's raining like fuck here, i mean in Arizona! we have monsoons here, it's totally mad! but beautiful. and there was a message on my machine when i got in from my mom. i called her cos i couldnt understand what she said. she said my dad had been in an accident and was in the hospital really bad. like he has bleeding on the brain and can't walk and they have to do surgery or something, and she doesn't know yet. see my mom and dad are split up for many years, but anyway... i'm teh weirdest person about things like that happening. i just have my own ways of dealing with tragedy. like when my erstwhile love deceives me, i cry at the drop of a hat, i bawl for days, but when terror descends upon mortality, i just walk around in a trance, thinking about the miraculousness of life, wondering what it means, becase everythign means something. I mean....i dont' knwo what to feel about some things. When bad stuff happens, like if i hear about a plane crash or like Princess Di's accident, my first thought is like "FUCK, i'm gonna be hearing about this for the next 3 months". you know? i'm cynical in that way. you feel sad, but then again it's like frustrating, because you can't just stop living when things happen, it's not a shock that they do, because that's just the way the universe is, it's all the same in the long run. I always feel the same emotion if i hear someone is pregnant, as when someone dies. it's almost the same thing to me, birth and death. but the thing is that when someone has an accident who is like, a little kid, or mother theresa or someone unreproachable (well some ppl think mother theresa had some issues, but you know what i'm referring to) everyone knows how to feel about it, it's all sad and it's like innocent victim. but when the person is just totally fucked up in the head, i just think "Jesus christ" i mean what DO you think? families are the hardest thing in life, i believe. because so many of them are just fucked. i know my family is mostly bastards, and i say that in the most understanding way, cos i know where they came from....it's not their fault. but they'r enot conscious. and they fucked me up in the same way they were done. so i have this ambivalence about my family. they're not bad people, and i love them because they are jsut....there, but they hur! ! ! t me in so many ways. so right now i'm just thinking....mostly i'm angry when bad things happen, because then you know everyone is going to put their lives on hold and freak out for a while, and when you dont 'know how to feel about it, you're just stuck in a kind of limbo state. I keep thinking how miraculous it is that important things happen, tragedy fascinates me when i'm involved deeply in it, i keep wondering if i'llb e like Sting or someone who writes important bloody works of art or literature because of things like this that happen? it's just too weird cos i was just thinking how i wish i could get away from the things my family did to me. it doesn't bind my thinking as much as it sometiems binds me to the anger that i have,and i question if it's a good thing to even keep analyzing all of that. i think i can handle death more than i could if someone i knew was a vegetable, that's just not a natural state. i wouldn't even want to witness that. i probably wouldn't go to anyones funeral either, because to me it doesn't seem helpful. i think i deal with stuff in my own way. people think it's not proper or seemly not to 'appear' but a long time ago i promised myself i'd never have to go to another funeral. it's not like anyone died, but it feels like it. she said the accidnet happened on saturday, and it seems like ever since that day i've just been possessed by strange spirits. rt now i'm all trembly and my eyes are probably gazing into the great unknown, i doubt i'll sleep, i'll start writing songs or something... i dont' really knwo what my point is, i just felt suddenly urged to write to sinister because you're all so wonderful, and because existence is just amazing and gorgeous to me. i'm perpetually in a state of thrall just opening my eyes and seeing a b! ! ! ird's w ing, or a summer storm. then again, i'm just thinking Bloody fuck, another load of crap for me to deal with. it doesnt' even surprise me anymore. at any moment my whole family could spontaneously combust, and i'd almost expect it to happen. they're just fucked with terrible luck. but i guess every family is to some extent...but nothing that happens shocks me anymore becasue i've seen the entire facade of their contented life crumble befor emy eyes, and all their lies and perversity exposed. you know, they're bastards. they're not bad people, but they're messed up. and you can't do anything about it. I've tried, and nothing gets through. you can't be bound by them, you know, or you'd get bogged down in stuff that doesn't even belong to you. the endless cycle of FUCK that drags everyone down, sometiems you just gotta pull away from it. and i feel guilty at times, but there is no other way to do it.. you can't be responsible for everyone else, it doesn't work that way even if you try. someone could die right in front of me....i might write a big poem about it the week later, but at the time i'll be saying how remarkable it is to me that BAdtz-maru now comes in camo pattern merchandise. isn't it though? i've just seen the most fabulous sanrio things in my life. badtz-maru in a gorgeous hawaii shade of blue and chinese silver patterns all over. it gives you a miniature orgasm just thinking about it, because who would expect something so beautiful? i was thinking about writing an encoded lesbian fairy tale, of course it will be horribly loaded with my own prejudicial autobio and unfair emotional baggage, and be totally bitter and cathartic. sometimes you have to indullge in a little idiocy just to make it through. i'm still thiking about exactly how it will go. has anyone seen the film "Small FAces"? i've now seen the tail end of it oh, about 12 times now. it's on the IFC like every week. it's made in glasgow. and fuck are the accents beautiful. i so wish i was scottish sometiems just to be able to speak so melodically. it's incantatious, it's inconceivable, but true. anyway i noticed that Alastair Galbraith plays a part in it. I"m frankly surprised that i know who alastair galbraith is, and at that only in the vaguest sense. i think he plays violinn or lives in NZ or something. he played on sandra bell's album. for all i know it could have been a different alastair galbraith, but hwo could another have such a beautiful name? it's one of my favorite names, randomly during the day i'll think "Alastair Galbraith" and feel rather pleased with myself. i really dont[ know what that means, but anyway i jsut bored about a thousand people, if you read all of this you're probably as sick as i am.... thus ends my open letter to the great beyond...... LJ time for my hummus i'll be off now. "People cry when the people die i understand... i hold their hand" er something like that. http://members.tripod.com/rebelstrange to the pure, all things are pure--- http://members.tripod.com/rebelstrange/buxoms.html ***The Buxoms: Svengali-free since 1998!!*** ______________________________________________________ Sent by FortuneCity Mail at http://www.fortunecity.com Join now and receive 20Mb of free web space and E-mail +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

I'm just no good at explaining my point in less than 200 words. I was talking about the list crush an how the top 10 people had changed drastically since the list was restarted. I'm probably reading far too much into this, but I thought that certain listees who had been quite high on the crush chart now, unfairly, had hardly any votes. It could just be the nature of crushes (one minute the person is wonderful and perfect and you want to marry them, and the next you can't remember who they are), but does anyone else think that this could be a backlash against the imaginary hierarchy who people targeted during the SOS shenanigans before summer? Just wondering. I shouldn't really have wrote that. People might get angry. This morning, I think I accidentally talked to an aunt of mine who I haven't seen for 8 years (my dad and her don't get on well), while I was trying to get some work experience in a hospital. She worked in personel, and asked me for my name. I said"Chris Mellan", and she said "oh, that's an unusual name. That was my name before I got married. hey - hah ha - we could be related." damn right we could. there are only 5 mellans in the south glasgow phone book, and I know who they all are. she said that her dad's name was david. That was my grandad's name. baby chris crystalballs ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

But, as someone else said recently, grown-up stories often have bad endings, (or none at all), so let‘s just say that crush-stories are very mature stories ;-) (BTW why does no one on this list ever use those smileys? Is there some hidden rule against it and everyone who uses them is despised in the Great Sinister Underground Community? I think they are very nice when used sparsely. I sometimes really miss the possibility to use them when I am writing a pen-and-paper-letter) Some days, dear sinisterines, some days are too good to be true. I‘ve always wondered why all bad things normally come together on one single day, and it‘s the same with good things. Mystery, mystery. The day I want to talk about was a good one. The sun shone, everyone was nice to me.. after university, I went to my fave record-store... I thought to myself: „today is a good day, so you never know, they might have Lazy Line Painter in today... Yeah, sure. I‘ve never seen it in my life, so why not today? – and... What shall I say? A purple record cover smiled at me. Then I went to the tea-shop. There are about 3 tea shops in Paris, because, as everyone knows, the French have no culture ;) (see why you need whose smileys? Without it, Stéphane would be furious at me and never talk to me again). Anyway; I am on a lonely quest to double the average French tea consumption. But back to the tea shop. The first one or two times I went there I had been served by a girl I immediately fell in crush with, that had been at least 3 months before... she had those irresisitible green eyes and porcelaine skin and wonderful small br.. ho-hum. She was great. But of course, being the Don Juan that I am, all I managed was to have interesting conversations.. about tea. And after those first two times - you know what the nightmare of shop-crushes is? SCHEDULES. No matter when I went there, she wasn‘t there, and even I can only drink a limited amount of tea. But this one day was a good day. She was there. When I entered the shop, she smiled broadly at me and said something like: „Hello, good to see you. You haven‘t been here for a long time, haven‘t you?“ Dear me, I almost fainted. Crushes are not supposed to even notice you, do they? And this after 3 months.. I was surprised, I was happy for a while. And then, dancing to LLPJ, for the first of many times... „maybe you‘ll have a girl tonight“... and you know what? I had. It was a good day. And for all those who are tired of picnic-entusiasm-posts, you can stop reading now, cos here comes the picnic-entusiasm part. I‘m not one for crowds, and even though it was a crowd of amazing sinisterines, „first I was afraid, I was petrified“.. but it soon went away. Friendly hello to those I talked talked to.. (funny how everyone asked me what my sig was.. "oh, you're the guy with Oscar Wilde and the tindersticks page!" I must confess that I'm doing the same thing, identifying people by their sigs more than by their names.. we should have worn them on a badge. Only Ailsa does not need such things. Ailsa's got her dufflecoat) The night after this was, erm, strange. I just remember sitting silent in a corner, busy being amazed; probably not very entertaining I was. Mirrorball, shopping cart.. it was all a dream, no? I hope it was ;-) bye Jan 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 "Nobody ever listens to anyone else, and if you try for a while you'll see why" - Mignon McLaughlin +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

I'm sorry that I'm mailing again, but the biology teacher said that we didn't need to bother going to class, so I am checking my mails again. 100. bugger. I saw a program the other day about nature and nurture. It led me to wonder about why I like b&s. Or, more specifically, would I have liked b&s if it weren't for certain experiences which I had gone through. I'm not saying that I like b&s music because of the "scene", and things associated with it. I like it because it is some of the most beautiful music that I have ever heard - I can bring tears to the eye, or a smile to the face, it can be uplifting, or gorgeously empathatic. At primary school people would make fun of me. It was only names, and the occasional punch, but when you have to suffer this from the age of 7, it can be bloody horrible. I didn't have many friends, as I was quite a quiet boy. Then, on moving to secondary school, I had gained a reputation as an easy target. People stared jumping me, beating me up, you know, and some stuff was really frightening. Say, on time, an 18 year old and his cronies decked me because one of their little brothers said that I was a cunt. I was 13 at the time. Another time I was stabbed because I had seen a guy dealing drugs in the pe changing rooms. I had my nose broken 4 times, and numerous beatings. This went on till I was about 15. On average I was attacked about once a week. It wasn't fun. so, for about 8 years, which is about half my life, I had suffered at the hands of other people. I don't think thatb it was through any fault of my own - I never provoked anyone - althogh I was sometimes told by people that I should have hit them back, but I wouldn't as I don't believe in violence. I once took the "turn the other cheek" thing literally, and ended up with a severely bruised face. anyway, this lead to me having a severe lack of trust in people. And I figured that the people who were tormenting me were really poular (which they were, for some reason) and also really stupid. so I sort of equated these facts to come up with the crystalballs theory : popular people are stupid and cause pain. therefore poular culture is stupid, and followed by fools. people who are popular in wide circles follow popular culture, so to find decent, intellegent, kind people, look at non popular "scenes" (I0 hate that word, and don't consider myself to be part of any scene, I don't believe in scenes, which sort of defeats my argument) the following generalises a bit, so beware posible scenes - moshers - smelly, don't like the music junkies goths - scary, tend to do it for attention ah - glasgow indie, and other ascociated types of music. really nice people, happy to listen to beautiful music, do not strive for attention, kind people. added bonus - music is fantasticly lovely. but I'm not doing it for the scene. I'm quite a quiet guy I think, not many people at school know who I am, and most who do beat me up at one point or know me beacause I'm tall or because people pronounce my name "melon" and make jokes about my mum having big melons. I have to say, I haven't met anyone on the list. But I think that my assumption was correct - really nice, caring poeple like really beautiful music. hope I didn't bore you. I meant to say other things, but I've been writing for so long that I've forgotten them baby chris CRYSTALBALLS ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

You may believe that one who contends otherwise doesn't know their arse from their elbow, but I would love to hear your reasons for such an asseveration. I believe that it is their best album from top to bottom, albeit there are undoubtedly better singles on "Hateful of Hollow," "The Queen is Dead," and "Strangeways..." How can you contend that songs like "Reel Around the Fountain" (which Belle and Sebastian covered, I hear), "You've Got Everything Now," "Miserable Lie," "This Charming Man," "Still Ill," "Hand in Glove," "What Difference Does it Make?" and "Suffer Little Children" are pants? And several of these songs are repeated without alterations on "Hateful of Hollow," so what gives? More importantly, I live in New York and would love to know what bars in the big apple play Belle and Sebastian. Are their albums (and if so, which ones) in juke boxes or are D.J.s responsible for the tracks? Most of the bars around me (Westchester County) only play shite like Sugar Ray, 311, and other club hits to the reception of an audience ostensibly eager for such crap sounds. Belle and Sebastian would be lovely to hear as I romp across the city bar scene.

END OF METAPHYSICAL TRIPE i think the weather is putting me in this odd mood. darkness falls upon the earth (well sussex) and the rain comes down, then blinding shafts of light attack through the clouds and the cold autumn sun glances off the churning sea. it's not good for a person. sinister has got very melancholy and reflective of late, n'est ce pas? lots of sad love stories. it must be the winter coming on (though that only works for the northen hemishere i guess.) so let's all get our cardies on and snuggle up together like foxes in the snow, staring at the magic sinister fire as the nights draw in... warm hugs, 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".

The singles are ace and the last two tracks, 'I don't owe you anything' and 'suffer little children' are very lovely. However what lets the album down more than anything else is the leaden production which totally fails to capture the early Smiths sound in its dynamic brilliance. Morrissey has commented that the only way their songs would have really been nailed on their first record would have been to record it live. Apart from the production, 'Reel around the fountain' is quite a dull song and 'Miserable lie's' prolonged falsetta coda is just plain annoying. It still knocks the spots off most albums and really does have a wonderful charm of its own,, but I think the other Smiths albums are just so much stronger. I don't know the names of the Belle and Sebastian playing bars but they were in Soho, I think one of them was down Canal street, but I was terribly drunk at the time.

Message-ID: <37EA6FCB.35E68D40@student.paisley.ac.uk> True. I don't usually resort to talking about B&S, but when clearing out my flat prior to moving house, I found and old Jeepster newsletter thingie, and it answered the question I have been wrongly bugging everyone about for ages. Slow Graffiti *was* commissioned especially for the Acid House, so sorry to everyone that told me that and I looked all stroppily at and swore to that B&S would never sell their souls to the Man. Apparently they did. Oops. Just got some of my London photos back. Martin appears to be in nearly all of them. No-one looks very drunk, especially not Drunken Matt. Poor show, folks :) Admittedly these are just the early photos, the film that I bought at 11pm has yet to be finished. I don't have a scanner, so you are all saved the sight of them. Suffice to say Erica looks glamorouser than should be legal, even when running away with her hand over her face. And there's a picture of a "hamster dragster" that was in the window of a pet shop in Camden Parkway. "For hamsters who take a ride on the wild side", apparently. Which is nice. I forgot when being gushy about everyone in my last post to say a massive "thank you" to Alasdair "come oan" Cook for lending me lots of money to come down to London in the first place. Oh, and Owen, I have no objection at all to receiving list crush votes from ugly fools like you. Not that that applies at all, you understand. Foolish perhaps (how could you *not* look at Struan's winky - really, you are a fool), but... I think you London mob should all come up to Glasgow and come out with us Scottish lot next time. Didn't Ally say you could all stay at his house? But be warned. He asked: > Exactly how naked did I get? and the answer is "very". We could see his bottom, you know. Now for my obligatory ranty bit. Madflowr said: > turns out he is the *president* of this fraternity. > his favourite singer is bryan adams. he spends all of > his free time studying or at fraternity related events. > he has never seen a zine in his life. he thought a zine > was an all black and white magazine. he has only been > to three or four concerts in his life. > > okay. all of this equals disaster. Erm, it's a very sad day when you judge people by what music they listen to, how often they go to gigs, how much faith they place in music. I realise that there are probably millions of reasons why this boy is a tosser, but having a different taste/total lack of passion about music is not a crime. Some of my best friends, and indeed my boyfriend, listen to little or no music, and really don't care much about it. And I think none the less of them, in fact I prefer that to people who won't admit to liking the "wrong" kind of "uncool" music. Anyway this guy is probably at a frat meeting with lots of similar people to himself (his Sinister equivalent I s'pose) laughing at people like us for spending all of our time at gigs/in record shops/listening to the radio and whatever. Sorry, I *always* do this, but I get sick fed up of people being so bloody judgemental about what people look like, what music they listen to, whether they look like Belle and Sebastian fans or not, etc etc. And I've never judged a book by the way it looks, or by the music it listens to (sorry, guess I'll have to leave the Sinister novel to Archel as I can't do metaphors), and I don't like people who do so. But what the hell do I know, eh?

I'm totally depsperate now, it's been seven years since I saw it on sale here, and since then I've on;y managed to get a hold of *one* six-pack. This is a heartfelt plea. Help me. Please. LONDON I wish I could have made it, sounds like everyone had a good time. ALL TOMORROW'S PARTIES I'm seriously considering going, but I have to ask a few questions to all you Bowlie-veterans out there.... 1. How much did you spend altogether? This encompasses ticket, travel and spending money. 2. How do you get to Camber Sands? 3. Anyone from Scotland willing to share a chalet with me? Thank you all, you've been a great audience.

On the way back from the park two, ahem, associates of mine picked up these two weird wooden bookend things from somebody's wall. I distance myself from them completely. I was at Tigermilking too...I was wearing a Blow Up t-shirt. I mention this because a few people said "nice t-shirt" thankfully failing to add "pity about the person inside". Well, two people.

I thought I'd say hello even if it is just to interrupt the thread of the S****s. What a pile of tanktops they really were. Anyhow, before I start to babble incoherently I should mention to London dwellers that a few of us are considering undergoing All Tomorrow's Parties Replacement Therapy replacement therapy at Strange Fruit tomorrow night so if you want to meet up feel free to mail me or Drunken Matt (the_fear66 at hotmail.com). Despite his name he might be a better bet to mail tomorrow as I try to spend as much time in the pub and shops as possible during Friday office hours. I might even blot the Jeepster board as well sometime. ERRR... I would like to take this oppurtunity to thank and apologise to people who I met and should have met up on my travels respectively. I had a great time in Toronto seeing Mogwai, Low (who were more than a bit fantastic) and other stuff with some lovely TO listees. Unfortunately I missed Vince getting kicked in the head my a member of Mogwai for talking during the quiet bits which was perhaps fortunate as I would have laughed very loudly and probably would have in turn received a right pasting from the Scottish instrumentalists. And I'd also like to publicly apologise for missing the Sinister meet up in New York, my only excuse is being a complete arse. I'm afraid I was naively taken in at a bar by free beer and free cheesy nachos and didn't manage to drag myself and others away till far too late to get in contact. It would have been very entertaining too as we were more than slightly inebriated and had to make do with getting very messy in Greenwich Village which included a strange game of table and people collecting. What a wonderful place New York is though so I'll definitely be back. UMMM... While I'm apologising I should say sorry to Ailsa for managing to get in most of her photos. I usually run crying from the camera's stare so I honestly don't what happened. I'd be horrified myself if I got a load of photos of me and I hope this doesn't influence you against giving me one later dear. ERRR... Yes the All Tomorrow's Parties Replacement Therapy was a lot of fun so big up's to all concerned. And on that high note I shall depart.

I'm going to Montreal tomorrow, and coming back tomorrow (please someone tell me to 'shut up' about that place.) I want that job - yes I do! Apparently I'm supposed to be the marketing avatar for the company...agh...my entire being will be sucked into the computer. I know Lucas is in Montreal but he was making fun of me and my Paulee friend, (as was Brian)...so I don't think I have any sinister friends there just yet. SMITHS I bought 'Hatful of Hollow' in 1985 and it is still, to this day, one of my favourite albums. I got 'The Queen is Dead' imported vinyl in '86 (methinks) and it has funny inscriptions on the inner rims...things like 'Fear of Manchester.' My ex-bf from 3 years back taped me some ridiculous Ukrainian cover version of 'Bigmouth Strikes Again' and some other Smith's song, which I forget. (Forgive me...4 years of (University) drinking 200 lb men under the table has made me a little, uh, wooden-in-da-head.)

All sleepy and dizzy and hot. Perhaps it's the pox. A little news that may be of interest to some...Stuart David and his Looper are featured on a new TV programme featuring talented young artists across various media called "Young, Gifted and Broke" (I think). It's going to be broadcast Tuesday 5th October on ITV (I *think*) at about 00.30 in England and 02.00 in Scotland (I'd check just in case this means the early hours of 6th October if I were you). These details are all fairly vague, so please don't take them as gospel. There's also the chance to win Stuart's album, new novel and single on the programme, so in bocca al lupo to you all... Thanks to everyone who came on Saturday. No, not that kind of came, you smutty rapscallions, I mean those who came to another triumphal Tigermilking. Erm, sorry it was so hot... Stars of the John Travolta variety were Erica, for perseverance in the face of mass apathy (but then it was Orlando...) and Nick Dastoor, for throwing aside his shackles and performing sexual nonsenses in the middle of the dancefloor. Free love, oh yeah... Sam and I are moving forward organising the next night-of-sexual-frenzy, so watch this space for an end-of-October fandango... There are too many other weekend highlights to mention, but huge Spruce Goose-like props to everyone, basically, and about the people I didn't get to meet (am I the only person who managed not to get intimate with Nic's rabbit?). I had more to say, stuff that may have been relevant to people not on our small unimpressive island, but I feel too ill to continue. But also good luck to those starting university round about now, you lucky, lucky, lucky sods, you... Eurggh, Little Blonde DJ xxx p.s. as EAH says, it's "Hatful", not "Hateful". Well it is here, and it must be there.

Fortunately he was on tv at the time, appearing as a "pikey" on The Bill. He was sporting a not-terribly-becoming nose ring, the kind that bulls wear. As to his acting, I cannot comment. Maybe it was *supposed* to seem like a Children's Film Foundation performance. It was quite an interesting evening of television, all told. The Royle Family returned in mighty fashion, and then they used the Tindersticks "Tiny Tears" on The Sopranos. After that we watched a peculiar program about the history of hip hop which seemed to claim that the form was invented by Michael Caine, The Shadows and Deborah Harry. Curioser and curioser. How come nobody talks about Spearmint on this list? I may be mental, but their new LP is the best British record I've heard all year. Martin Gardner said: >I really like the smell of new trousers.

Ailsa Ross, the voice of reason, said; >Some of my best friends, and indeed my boyfriend, >listen to little or no music, and really don't care much about it. And >I think none the less of them, in fact I prefer that to people who won't >admit to liking the "wrong" kind of "uncool" music. I totally agree, Ailsa. I don't really like fashionable people as I think they tend to be fashionable about far more than their taste in music, like how they are. One thing I love when I meet Sinister people is how down to earth and honest they seem, on the whole. Mildly obsessive and slightly bonkers maybe, but authentic, which is nice. Then again, at the moment I have this theory in my head that things in the world need balance - like good and evil: Ronald McDonald and Robbie Williams on one side, Stuart Murdoch and nuns on the other. And there should be good music and bad music and average music in the middle for average people who aren't really that interested. So why instead do average people get hateful commercial shite like Another Level instead? I think it's an injustice. Another cup of tea? Oooh, you've got crumbs all over the carpet! No, Don't get up, you'll just tread them in. I'll go and get a brush. The other day, I was making a film with some friends of mine about an alien from outer space who crash lands his spaceship down my street. He crash lands because he's being chased by another, evil alien, called Billy Boater, who wears a boater hat and a dressing gown (not exactly state of the art I know). So in the end the good alien (me) kills the bad alien (Peter) and he was lying on the pavement dying when a man drove past in his car, stopped, and wound down the window. He just looked at us bemused. I was standing over Pete with my weapon in my hand (a frisbee, you dirty dawgs), he was wearing a boater hat and a dressing gown and I was wearing a fedora, and was next to a bicycle with wings (my spaceship). The man called out "Are you okay?". We looked confused. "Your friend, is he hurt?." "Er, no." "Are you sure?" "Er, we're making a film actually." "Hmm." The man drove away, very slowly, possibly to fetch assistance. It was very strange. For the rest of the day we expected an ambulance to drive up the street to attend to a "dying man". Oooh, there's nothing like PG Tips is there? No, you can't have another biscuit, not after the mess you made last time. I don't care if you're hungry, you'll just have to wait until dinner. Archel said; >did/does anyone on the list go to a steiner/waldorf school (which are >NOT 'orrible christian cults, by the way)? What's a Steiner/Waldorf school?

Well not really. Chums, is there anything more fun than drinking 5 beers with your ex-girlfriend on a thursday-evening at your place and listen to her talk about her ex-boyfriend (that not being me, but this other guy she dated for about a year after we broke up). And listening to her telling me about the AMAZING sex she had with a 27-year old screenwriter during summer, when she tried up the bum- sex for the first time ("I kinda liked it", she said). And listening to her tell the story about this swedish guy who she picked up from this bar and who gave her the most pleasent oral sex she had ever recieved? Oh for ���s sake, that wasn't fun at all. Well, she stayed over night and we slept on the same bed (a bit like the good ol' times) and she woke me up twice when i felt her hand on my bottom (both times she woke up too and apologized, she thought I was this other guy... this is getting REALLY complicated now, isn't it?) and in the morning she changed her shirt in front of me and I saw her bra. That girl is one thing I never can shake off my head. Even though I'd like to. BADLY. But on to the alcohol now. Last friday I was supposed to interview this band called Duplo! for Sue- magazine. Ok, so they play their gig and after that I get my recorder and sit down to the table with two of them (the drummer wanted to get drunk so he wasn't there). I know the bassist, a nice lad. Well, I did the interview. Then, the next day, I tried to listen to it. Ok, I was very, very drunk during the interview. What I didn't understand then was that I spoke about 80 per cent of the time. And it's hard enough to listen to your own voice, but I was stuttering and unvcabable of finding words and shitarsed and telling them funny jokes (funny then, NOT now)... And their singer is having so much fun with me, basicly (dirty word now) telling me to fuck off with my stupid blabbering. So there. My career in musicjournalism got a BAAAAAAAAAAD start. But I won't give up. @--->--- Jake. ps: I like B&S too. And I'm truly sorry about the whole uselesness of this post. ______________________________________________________ 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".

Who does Bus Stop? Just who is the 5 o' clock hero? Fluffy said that The Jam were a load of Horst Hrubesch. I disagree, I think they were great. They also disprove the widely held belief that popular things that townies like can't be any good. I liked Bruce Foxtrot and Rick Teggybrush and of course Paul Weller, formerly of the Style Council, who were also good. They got townies into posh stuff, like France, thus raising the standard of living. I'm glad Slow Graffiti was tailor-made for that film about townies. It's my favourite B&S song because it dares to poke its nose out of the comfy confines of Murdochland, where birds are mad and boys are shy and public transport rules the roost. My theory about the secret link between B&S and Iranian cinema was left in tatters yesterday by The Red Ribbon - no buses, no children. Pah! Stereo's back. To celebrate I bought a new CD - The New Latinaires. I think I prefer The Old Latinaires. I've also been listening to The Visigoths at the Po Caff. So far I like song number one and song number four best. When the name "Christopher Timothy" loses its shine, I suggest "Difford and Timbrook", because it reminds me a bit of Squeeze. Do townies like Squeeze? I bet they do. Joe from the townie film My Name Is Joe came to townie the other day wearing his kiltie. What a prannie. I mean, I don't walk around dressed as Daniel Lambert, do I? As for the absence of SOS people from the list crush list, perhaps it's because they're not all in there all day voting for each other and having a right old giggle. But that's only a theory. I don't really know who was on the SOS list, because I was on remand at Her Majesty's pleasure at the time, so I can't have been involved. But I would like it very much if said SOS-ers wrote to us every now and then. I kinda miss those guys. Yes, I'm a grumpy old-timer. I thought the list crush business lost its appeal when it ceased to be run from the inside cover of Big Stu's rough book. Trousercuts sounds good this week. I remember the days when rudeness was a worry. lots of love, Sister Disco +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

"eeeeaaann eeeeaaaan" or something similar. i told myself it was the wind. anyway, onto today: archel got deep: my homeopath asked me if i was afraid of death. i had to think for a minute, >but then i internally said, 'yes you silly cow of course i am, isn't >everyone?' i can't imagine not being afraid of it really. it's like, you >know constantly that the people close to you, as well as everyone else in the >world, will die. i'm not afraid of it. i'm afraid of dying, of the pain that is bound to occurr, but the sleep afterwards, no, that doesn't scare me. when i switch my mind off at night, its a wonderful feeling. perhaps death is something like that. having said that, i don't want it to happen just yet. i'd be really peeved if it did. you're right about things getting melancholy. i think its the autumn setting in. perfect weather for morrissey...which leads me on nicely to the next bit firstly, is anyone going to see him when he plays nottingham on this forthcoming tour? secondly, "reel around the fountain" is anything but dull. its my favourite smiths song, and it has some killer lines. and if you ever watch "the collector" you'll like it even more. but then, darren, i respect your right to find it mind-blowingly tedious e.a. mentioned >My ex-bf from 3 years back taped me some ridiculous Ukrainian cover >version of 'Bigmouth Strikes Again' and some other Smith's song, which I >forget. that'd be "battyar" and yes, it is ridiculous >I think "Stars of Track and Field" makes a >perfect caption for a few of those photos...and 'terry underwear' is >fitting, though I cringe whenever I hear those words...but the rest of >the song rocks. you know, the lines that made me love b&s were "you only did it so that you could wear your terry underwear and feel the city air run past your body" i thought anyone that can write a song and drop that reference so unashamedly gets my admiration. maybe its a kitsch thing. do you think b&s are kitsch? then i discovered "get me away from here, i'm dying" and i was in love... but that's kinda kitsch too.. hmm... off to lie on my bean bag and look at my lava lamp kitsch boy ian +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

It is not a good Friday. It all started swimmingly last night. I went to see Melt Banana and they were marvellously metaltastic. There was a violent looking moshpit which I decided to brave. Unfortunately, I did so with my anorak hood pulled up so I didn't see the mystery assailant who booted me directly above the ball area, rendering me somewhat incapacitated. Then the bastards lowered the price of vodka and red bull to £2. An act of outright cruelty. As a result, I am still drunk at midday in work and have to stay here until 8 o'clock. Not good at all. It's going to be a long day. Last week I was drunk in a bar in New Cross that plays ska music and I was accosted by a drunken middle aged crusty Glaswegian street poet. In a referee's jersey. He asked me if I'd vote for him if he tried to be prime minister. I considered explaining that I lived outside of the jurisdiction, but since he was looming menacingly I decided to tell him that I would. He copped my accent and started going on about the IRA and the UDA next, pointing out that stopping violence would be foremost in his manifesto. At the time, I think this was something of a relief. Anyway, he said he'd like to send me some of his poetry in the post because I was "a good man". The charmer, eh? Drunkenly, I decided 'what the heck', I mean... what harm could it be giving him my real address and getting something interesting if perhaps a little insane in the post? In retrospect my decision seems somewhat unwise. I have a horrible feeling that when I arrive home, tired and unwell, there'll be a drunken Glaswegian in my living room. Who isn't called Ailsa. If that happens, I will be very pissed off. Yours in discomfort, Mr Joss scilabs at thumped.com PS I bought a Music Tapes record yesterday on the advice of one Lance Bangs. I haven't listened to it yet, but it has a great pop up cover. Not enough people make records with pop up covers these days.

Message-ID: <37EAFF49.D7351029@utoronto.ca> I've Noticed that the Lazy Linepainter Jane EP has been coming up around here a bit lately, and usually with some glowing commentary relating to it. I confess, that is the only B&S record that i really don't care for. And i know why. I have a reason. it is that caterwauling woman who belts it out on the first track, where the hell did they find her? Was she screaming sheep into a corral somewhere in a mountain as they all drove by on the way to someplace nice for the weekend? god, she;s hideous. after that, the rest of the ep never picks up. the century of Elvis would've been a nice touch if the rest of the ep had been strong but since it's not really it just seems insubstantial. It certainly doesn't stand up to the other 3 eps. no sir! also, the elephant 6 have been getting lots of press in these parts but i noticed that no one mentioned beulah. So, incase you already own all the NMH and OTC albums and want more of the same you can now write the name beulah in your "to do" book under 'records to buy'. does anyone else named steve on this list have a thing for cute girls in men's y-front underwear? just curious, it seems to be a fetish limited to lads named steven in my experience. but possibly not.

Only this week it was a different Kooky Bird, and she looked a lot like that Kooky Yank Bird off the Kooky Computer Show on channel 4. Mmmmm... Kooky Birds in bookshops. Like David Attenborough in one of those pervy films, we pretended to look at books whilst hanging about the counter to get a better look. But what to select to impress an (obviously savvy and refined) Kooky Bird? Mailer? - too macho. Burchill? - too pulp. Your Comprehensive Nude Video Guide? Desperate for kudos, we grabbed a shiny hardback of 'All Tomorrow's Parties'. A Billy Name memoir, perhaps, or some PopArt collection? No!!! How she giggled as we realised it was the new cyberpunker from Billy Idol's favourite author, William Gibson. As she turned away in scornful laughter, we took a sneaky peak before scurrying back onto Deansgate. Well, it's a 400-page airport-buster about a strange, millennial cult, who communicate via an immense web of intertwining fibreoptics, and decide to convene in a barren, remote, possibly contaminated location to listen to low, Caledonian mumblings and apparently random belching noises. The jacket promised long, convoluted, plot twists and PR gaffes, before an eventual climax involving gratuitous trouser fumblings and Special Guest Appearances. OK, it's not. It's actually about computers and swords and crap, like all his other books, but some things never change. Which reminds me of my point. Ages ago, when we went to college still, all the kids who were Picked On At School crowded round outside the library and enthused about William Gibson. And Pearl Jam. And Winnie the Pooh. Whilst the friendly, successful, popular, Townie kids got laid and went clubbing, the Alternative Kids huddled in a corner, wearing badly-applied mascara. Yes, they whispered, we like music and we are Special. They were very boring indeed. Have you noticed how this was written in the third person? Just like the NME!

Personally, I like the Scottish folk-singer who appears in "Lazy Line Painter Jane" and whose name escapes me now. And, incidentally, "Lazy Line Painter Jane" is in my top five favorite Belle and Sebastian songs because of Chris Geddes work on the hammond organ (isn't it time that he gets more credit for creating the Belle and Sebastian sound?). Nevertheless, I would much rather listen to someone like this bird than the breathy, five-year-oldesque lyrics of Belle and Sebastian's gentle wave. Albeit she is extremely cute (and this initially endeared her voice to me - call it the Backstreet Boys syndrome in reverse), her voice is progressively getting more and more annoying at every listen, especially on "Green Fields of Foreverland". Give me an off-key belting Scottish bird who isn't obsessed with being cute any day of the week. On the Elephant 6 tip, I saw Beulah at the CMJ in New York and they were fucking top! Personally, I prefer them to both Neutral Milk Hotel and Olivia Tremor Control. They also have an extremely rare first album (released in 1997) which wqs available at the show. Not as good as "When Your Heartstrings Break", but it is worth the investment if you can track it down.

I think its tops! I mean, 369 and Modern Rock Song still beat the pants off of it in my book but You Made Me Forget My Dreams is definitely one of my B&S faves, and so is the title track. As for Monica Queen I like her voice quite fine. I imagine an entire album of it would get quite boring but my fave part of the Bowlie tape is when she belts her lines and the crowd just goes ape. That and when Isobel jumbles her speech before The Kids Are Alright...she really is the cutest thing. On the advice of several from the Sinister parish I went out and bought Hefner's "The Fidelity Wars" and I must say I'm decidedly non-plussed. In fact, I'm actually on the border of revulsion but maybe that'll change. I mean, the guy obviously has a beautiful voice when he sings softly or at least at a normal level but instead he belts out the tunes and totally turns me off. I won't say they're terrible but I'm definitely returning it...should I get the new Aluminum Group or East River Pipe? On the inside of Donovan's greatest hits it lists his personal email address but I can't think of anything to say to the guy. He just seems like such an oddball (and a pretty arrogant guy to boot) that I'm a little intimidated. Any suggestions? Speaking of Mr. Leich, I have to agree with the critics who say B&S owe tons to him. Colours sounds alot like the B&S song that never was. The only difference being Donovan looks like a horses-arse and sings songs of beautiful women whereas Stuart looks like a beautiful woman and sings songs of girls who looks like horses-arses. Hmmm... Do I fancy women in Y-front undies? Not sure yet... Steve C. PS- I bid a fond adieu to George C. Scott and Werner Voss.

"i could be dreaming"... ironic huh? it made me sad... anyway, i couldn't get away from them so i did nothing. but suffer. then i went to a restaurant and ordered a cheese burger. and it tasted like carrot cake. i guess i was influenced by that vegan talk. end of story. burguers that taste like carrot cake and a couple of kissing stalkers. i could be dreaming. hey, wait a minute. i was dreaming. enough. no. here's a list of all belle and sebastian songs that i heard and sing and dance here in some clubs in são paulo, brazil. she's losing it dirty dream number two get me away from here, i'm dying judy and the dream of horses like dylan in the movies electronic renaissance i think that's all. i may be wrong. i love to have dj friends. they trust me. love, gui personal ps, you don't have to read them. ps: got the tape kin, thank you. have you got mine? ps 2: thank you for the kind words jeannete. as you can see, i'm still here. are you? i'll write soon. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

You maintain sense of your being but it can easily slip into darkness, sinking back and being enveloped by it. Pain is terrifying, I must admit. Loss of dignity is no fun.

Which is unusual. He seems to be actually making a serious point about something. Is this the real Peter Miller or an imposter? When Paul McCartney had a motorbike accident in 1967 some crazy folk thought he had died, been buried by John, and been replaced by a man with a moustache. It later turned out that he had just broken a tooth and was being vain. Recently he was in a rush to get to one of Stella's fashion shows and forgot to put his cap back on. It was splashed all over the front of the Mirror with the headline 'CAN'T BITE ME LOVE'. It was a good decade for mysterious motorcycle mishaps - Dylan fell off too and everyone thought he had been replaced by a new Dylan who wrote terrible songs and sang even worse than the original one. I don't think this has ever been firmly disproved. >My theory about the secret link between B&S and Iranian cinema >was left in tatters yesterday by The Red Ribbon - no buses, no >children. Pah! Was there any wanking, though? Recent currents in Iranian cinema are indeed diverging from Murdochland, but I am pleased to announce that FunkySeb's latest project sees him filling the void with typical aplomb. It's a film about... buses and children. Seb plays the child but the buses are yet to be cast. It's an intensely personal project and perhaps I have already let the lemur too far out of the bag. When I joined Sinister, it was all lemur lemur lemur around here. Lemur this, lemur that. Have a look in the archives if you need assurance that the list was still appalling even when those shadowy SoSers ruled the roost. Anyway, yes, 'Slow Graffiti' is a bit special, even if it is stained with the blood of capitalism's forgotten victims. I must say, this idea that being commissioned to write a song on a particular subject is selling out to the Man is pretty hard-line stuff. I mean even workers in Communist Russia got paid to do specific jobs. It was no good if some night watchman started unblocking municipal drains instead and when challenged by Party Officials, started mumbling things about artistic integrity. That's not a very good analogy, is it? PJM is quite right that it's nice when B&S songs venture beyond the borders of Murdochland. I would like to see them write a song about the rise and fall of the Mafia. But what do I know? I'm always suggesting that they do things, like get Chris Leonard to join as third fiddle, with special popular culture reference responsiblities, but they never listen. Or Mrs Murdoch could join just to keep a check on things. I don't think there's ever been a band with someone's mum in it, but I would just love to be corrected. Email me publically. Is it just me, or was that comment along the lines of "The Smiths first album is great, but do be aware that it condones child abuse" just the greatest thing ever?

LLPJ. when i first heard it, i would have likened the experience to eating a sandwich of the most delicious double filling between two slices of mouldy, crappy bread. so, you made me forget my dreams and photo jenny were the houmous and roasted vegetable of the musical world, with the title track and century of elvis being the week old kwik-save loaf. i now no longer wish to disembowel monica queen, as despite her, erm, unique contribution, llpj is one of my favourite b&s songs lyrically, and you can dance like a fool to it as i discovered at tigerlactating. you made me forget... and photo jenny are still brilliant as well ("i'm in a mess, i'm in a dress" - just beat that for a lyric), but elvis does bring the whole sandwich down. i like it, but i physically couldn't listen to it after a few times. it's like when a really good friend starts to tell a story that you've heard before. it's a good story, you like the person, but YOU'VE HEARD IT BEFORE. gosh, a whole paragraph of b&s content. i feel faint from the unaccustomed effort. of course, it'll be doing the whole sinister community a big favour when they finally release something and we can talk out of our arses about a whole new batch of songs: Listee 1: oh, see i was right about the downward spiral. i'm going to go and wank [oops, did i type wank, i meant sulk] over my copy of tigermilk until they start writing the songs i telepathically told them they should. Listee 2: does anyone else think that Is It Smutty Not To Ride Buses? sounds a bit like a twee-er/slower/faster/better/quieter/backwards/completely different version of [insert any title] by The Smiths? Listee 3: who is that on the cover? Listee 4: you know when stuart sings that bit about green arab angels in Let's Make This Song Title Really Long, well, i reckon it's referring to a small cafe in paris where there is actually a bit of graffiti near the ceiling which mentions angels, and i know because mark e. smith wrote it when i got him drunk there one night. Listees 5, 6, 7 and 8: it's [insert name] on the cover. Listees 9, 10 and 11: you know, i thought the lyric about green arab angels was actually saying 'i'm a wanker'. d'oh, how silly am I? but it was funny wasn't it? Listee 12: b&s are really good aren't they? i just really relate to what they're saying and they gave me the courage to give up drugs/stop listening to oasis/talk to that cute girl/feel superior to people who are happier than me/buy a field mice record. excuse me while i go and cry. Listee 13: it's [insert name] on the cover. ... i'm bored with that now. no-one cares anyway. except my friends who live in these little round metallic circles. they understand. 8 people i never met can save my soul, yeah. blimey, i've gone all cynical. how unappealing. sorry. 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".

Mass made idea, and idea held in place. A lock in time. Inside half-heaven unfolds. Most like an arch--two weaknesses that lean into a strength. Two fallings become firm. Two joined abeyances become a term naming the fact that teaches fact to mean. Not quite that? Not much less. World as it is, what's strong and seperate falters. All I do at piling stone on stone apart from you is roofless around nothing. Till we kiss I am no more than upright and unset. It is by falling in and in we make the all-bearing point, for one another's sake, in faultless failing, raised by our own weight. ----------------------------------------------- and i guess i now have to pass on the poetry parrot to someone else, so i'll send it in a northerly direction to canada to the lovely elizabeth aka EA...fly quickly, little parrot, to your new keeper. xojj * * * http://www.monkey.org/~jj * * * +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Poupee De Son" and why it is so awful? I really think that maybe it was just a bad judgment call. True it does seem to be a bit of experimenting by B&S but I really think that maybe that type of experimentation should be kept to a minimum, I personally don't think that style is their forte. Not that I'm anti-experimental, I'm all for it, I just think some things are not advantageous to be herd by the general public. I'm sick today, slept till 7. I hate being sick. Everyone here has the flu because the weather in Indiana is very fickle and while it may be a high of 87 one day it will be 52 the next then back up to 91. I love fall but schizophrenic weather brings me down. My boyfreind is convinced he's not sexy, I disagree. He just loves to make a comment every time I look at him though that kinda pisses me off, then he says I'm just not interested. I'm starting to think he's more interested in pushing my buttons then anything. I love him though, 9 1/2 months now we've been together. I just wish he'd join me in THIS world instead of languishing in his sluggishly stylish other-world. Boys bring nothing but headaches. I'm convinced. Well, I have to go drink the night away. Have a lovely weekend. -Mike +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

If you read it too quickly, you'll miss the true meaning of the poem, which ties up nicely at the end. Life Is A Dream A talent for self-realization will get you only as far as the vacant lot next to the lumber yard, where they have roll call. My name begins with an A, so is one of the first to be read off. I am wondering where to stand-could that group of three of four other guys at the beginning of the line? Before I have a chance to find out, a rodentlike man pushes at my shoulders. "It's that way," he hisses. "Didn't they teach you anything at school? That a photograph Of anything can be real, or maybe not? The corner of the fridge, A cloud of midges at dusk-time." I know I'll have a chance to learn more later on. Waiting is what's called for, meanwhile It's true that life can be anything, but certain things definitely aren't it. This gloved hand, for instance, that slides so securely into mine, as though it intends to stay. by: John Ashberry I'm so sorry that this comes on Rachel's and JJ's special day...it reflects my tender/pessimistic view of love. I wish you all the very very best... The poetry parrot will now be passed onto Genevieve W... ea P.S. If there are any events in the UK this spring...I would like to make it over.

All of us too lazy to respond to requests from the PoCaff about National Poetry Day should go and vote NOW at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/education/poetry/npd_vote.shtml You can vote for your favourite song lyrics ever. My teacherific Mom told us about this after all her kids were mass voting for "4 to the 3 to the 2 to the 1, I'm on the microphone and I'm hot like the Sun", in their Information Resource Centre (school library) on Friday. We were going to vote for "You're so hot you should be a candle, So good to hold you shoulda been a handle", or "A scrub is a guy who thinks he's fly, also known as a 'bus stop'", but as these were most likely deeply-loved mishearings, we submitted the Paula Wilcox couplet from 'Photo Jenny'. In the light of events earlier this year, an organised B&S drive might not be that sensible. But it would be a great laugh if next Thursday Griff Rhys Jones did his usual tremendously drawn-out countdown, before forcing Rik Mayall or Roger McGough to dress up in orthapaedic shoes, or some boy's jumper, to 'interpret' the winner. Apparently The Nation's Favourite Haiku last year only totalled about 7,000 votes in all. we out, joex ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

Sundays always made me sad since I was a child... and... what an introduction!!! My name is Kalli, I'm new in the list, though I've been reading your messages for a while now, I didn't feel like writing... I live in Greece and I guess I'm quite older than most of you... I'm 29... Well, Belle & Sebastian is my second most fave band... Television Personalities is my most-most favourite... My life.... what a chapter!!! My life is disintegrating and recomposing right now...!! I'm going to leave my town and move to another, since I've got a new job in a state University, Architecture Dept.... Nothing that great & exciting though... and to tell you the truth these changes always upset me... it's very difficult for me to feel safe somewhere, so when I have to change location, flat, etc... I feel ill... Anyway, I've also have broken up with my boyfriend as things didn't move at all... He said I'm too romantic to fit in the real world, I've decided to defend my romanticism to death, so, you can understand... Morissey... well, Morissey is coming here for a single gig on the 5th November... an of coourse I'm going to be there... and, there's a huge possibility to meet him since a very close friend of mine is organising the whole thing... I'm not really dying to meet him, I'm not the groopie type, but I really think that the guy is a poet and I have a lot of respect for his work... At the moment we are trying to book CINERAMA (x-wedding present) for two gigs... And Cinerama is my third most fave band... I think their LP "Va Va Voom" was last year's best release... What else I do exept being broken hearted... and working... I paint... faces... scared and scary... this is my greatest passion... I've been accepted to University in London for studying Fine Arts, but the lack of financial support prevented from going... and that's another misery of my life... But *cheering up* with this new job I'll have time to paint, lots of time I hope... and afterall, I paint not for others but for myself, to feel that I'm in balance with the Universe, you know what I mean? I have to go now... hope didn't bore you too much with all these... I'm really happy to be here and be actually able to share all that with you... looking forward to hear back from you...

See you all there :) FIGHT NIGHT Had a 'discussion' with a ned today. He wished fags/booze/skins, I had none. Afforementioned ned followed me down Sauchiehall Street imaginatively calling me a Fucking Wanker!!!!' for about ten minutes before I managed to lose the wee bugger. DEATH My biggest fear is that when you die that you sort of stay as a disembodied conciousness, sitting bored for all eternity. COLLEGE LIFE Well, I've now survived three weeks of the brand new experience that is college. Already I can feel myself slipping into the same traps that made my life a misery in school - trying to change myself so that I'll fit in. I'd better stop, after all, if you're not yourself, what's the point, eh? Any other Sinisterines at Glasgow Central College Of Commerce? Thought not. ;) PROFOUND YET TOTALLY MEANINGLESS QUOTE "How the fuck can I be white? I don't even exist." ONLY AN EXCUSE? Went to see this last night at the Kings. Highlights; Alex Ferguson; "I'm proud of all the people I've ever worked with, except for that Gordan Strachan, he's a wee shite." Jim Jefferies: "I've got baldy psycho young players and that wee Spanish guy. I don't know whether to pick my baldy nuts or play my hairy Juanjo." Chick Young: "My greatest ever team? Well, my five in the back four would be..." Franky Boy: "Would I visit the Betty Ford Clinic for my birdaholism? Dunno. Is she worth a shag?" Jim White: "I think it's time to start using the internet to find Scotland international players... www pish dot com." Over now to Dougie McDonald... "OK, I think we can continue this mail now.... Can we?....No we can't." -- Jason Andreas -- Hailing from Glasgow, city of half a million souls and one million people ICQ: 45821217 +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

In a couple of weeks time, I'm visiting Philly, I'm really excited and stuff but I'd like to know if there are any good indie bars or clubs to go to in the city. I'm from a wee place just outside Glasgow and I really don't have any idea what to expect. Just to make this e-mail a little more interesting, I thought I'd let you know about the ad I saw on tv yesterday. It was for some milk shake drink called 'shaky Jake' now, here in the west of Scotland that's slang for an old drunk.

Waking up in the morning with the sickening odour of ckone mixed with cigarette smoke....I *longed* to be accepted by my peers, infact I still do, but I want to be me. I still smell of cigarette smoke, only it's mixed with Coco Channel these days. Still, me and my townie friends, we still have things in common, like watching Hollyoaks and snogging boys, only my taste in boys is rather different to the degenerates they're seen hanging off. Saying that, they'd probably choke on their Hooch if they saw Toby Titwank. ooh, Ailsa said: >Suffice to say Erica looks glamorouser than should be legal, even when >running away with her hand over her face I do believe at the last picnic a few people were having a bit of a poke at me, saying such things as "who would wear tights to a picnic" and implying I wore too much make-up. A person should never be Off-Duty! and one must make an effort for their art. So you think I'm so glamourous, it should be illegal. Come on! Get your handcuffs out! Arrest me right now - I plead GUILTY AS CHARGED! Surely that is the best thing anyone has ever said about me. Of course you only think that because you havent seen me (with the exception of Mark, Vics and Kevan) the morning *after* an evening of gallavanting around. Otherwise in the world that is The House Of Scarlet, everything is pretty magic. Good weekend, stayed away from the big smoke, and found a "passion pink" fluffy angora jumper in oxfam to wear with a black leather skirt. Yum! Watched 'If...' when I got in on saturday night, which is a stunning film. Public school boys, eh? woof!

And what a rich vein it is! Ladies and gentlemen, I give you: >>The Judds: Mother and daughter country duo with remarkable hair. If you ever come round our way, Tim H will gladly show you his lovely collection of Judds records. >>Iris Dement: On her first record, my favourite post-Nanci Griffith country-folk siren dragged her momma on to sing some ancient Appalachian dirge. The results were mixed. >>The fruit of the loins of Loudon Wainwright and Kate McGarrigle (sp?) is handsome young Rufus, and I'm sure both of them have performed with their son at various times. >>Yoko Ono: Surely the Queen of Screech has appeared with one of the Lennon brats at some time or other? >>Patti Smith: has brought back the fine tradition of child labour by enlisting the help of her son to play guitar on her last few records. >>Norma Waterson: the Brit-nominated folkie is the raggle-taggle matriarch to a whole clan of kids who sing with one finger in their ear. >>The Carter Family: Hmmm.... not sure about this one. Was there a mother among the Carter family members? >>Lieutenant Pigeon: featured a band member's mother playing the immortal piano line (on TOTP appearances anyway) on "Mouldy Old Dough". Joe Cairns mentioned something about National Poetry Day. You will be amused to know that at a meeting several months ago I did in fact advise the BBC against using a web-based voting mechanism "Cos you'll get all the nutters voting". They have only themselves to blame. Went out to see Election on Saturday with the SE London Sinister masseeeev, and it was terrific. Lovely music too... Umm... some of you might be interested to know that trousercuts, the magazine for girls and boys who want to be girls, is finally complete. I'll send out copies to contributors in the next day or so. I'm still trying to figure out a way of doing online ordering, and I'll try to do something about it this week, but I'm a bit crap about things like that.

The other day I went to the pictures and it was a film but afterwards when everyone was trooping out they played a record and it was TWATTYBUS and like so many listees before me I looked round to see if anyone was having spasms of ecstasy, but no, they were just trooping out, ship-shape and bristols fashion. But it was a nice end to a nice film called "Ghost Dog - The Way of the Samurai". I think you'd like it. It's by Jim Jarmusch, the bass player from my favourite group The Cartoons. Speaking of which, I had noticed Louie Bega's familiarity with the chicks on the list too. He's good, but I prefer Kid Coconut, who was the first artiste I ever listened to on a Walkman, fact fans. All three acts (except one) have made major contributions to the raising of lunacy in pop to dangerous levels. Andrew Dean, I think you should just panel your landlady. I'm going to panel mine one day. Short-arsed fucking cow. Tim, I think your group's pretty good. I like it when you get a bit angry and growly, like you're going to thump someone in the nuts if they don't give you your pencil case back. Congratulations to FunkySeb.

Well well well. Props to Trousse for all those mums. However, I don't believe a word of it. Stevie's entire musical knowledge is based upon the Spotters Guide to Rock and Pop, which he showed to a select few at a Trouserfest the Sunday before last. It's a fantastic book, dedicated to redefining notions of 'accurate and authoritative'. Its astonishing take on rock history sees it introducing punk with the bold assertion 'There was no thought in the punk movement'. Elsewhere the author claims that every English guitar hero started their career in the Yardbirds, and that the Beatles are 'the biggest myth in pop history'. That's some conspiracy theory. His tone becomes particularly belligerent when it comes to metal. Iron Maiden's 'facile' album covers are the only way of distinguishing them from their peers as 'all heavy metal groups are equally noisy'. 'Belligerent' is one of two words Morrissey taught me. Props to anyone who can guess the other one ('prophesise' doesn't count, because he made it up). He also taught me how to misspell 'cemetery' and 'Shakespeare'. However, 'publically' (see last post) was all my own work. When I was younger I used to be interested in formal logic, and started to believe that 'prop' was an everyday abbreviation for 'propostion' but when I spilled it into conversation everyone just looked at me blankly and so I stopped saying it. I have no idea why I wanted to say 'propostion' in the first place. Hello to everyone who's new lately, especially Vesna from Belgrade. Bloody hell. I nearly cried when I read your post. Belle & Sebastian on B92? No wonder they tried to shut it down. Sorry, that's not very funny.

It is composed of several short interviews with Jeepsters 'chefs' and with each band.Chris is the spokesperson for Belle and Sebastian.The author complains about the fact it was absolutely impossible to have a meeting with Stuart and that made the enquiries about the lyrics quite pointless He blames 'B&S pretended radical attitude about amateurism' and seems quite annoyed,as 'they are not that amateur any longer,as they are making money enough to pay the rent'.Such an attitude is attributed as one of many JD Salinger's influences in their artwork, influence that according to this journalist is stubbornly denied by all the members in the band. Contrarily to this,Chris himself refers indirectly to Salinger to give an example of what is the exact value of teenage daydreams : Salinger's wife sold his love letters to pay their children's school fees.That's it. Anyway,all the article is based upon the idea of how indie kids can grow up,face real life and their inner selves could stay unaltered.That apparently B&S songs are about it. Just B&S content.I am a too serious scholar for this list in any of its lives and remakes.SOS!

Message-ID: Just looking over the last two digests makes me kind of happy that I am not the only person here who wears their heart on their sleeve. While I must say that I am super happy for my sinister friends JJ and Rachel, I must say that jj heldman's poem depressed me a bit, but then again, I shouldn't hold the fact that i haven't seen anyone in a while against the married people. Anyway, I got really depressed even though I shouldn't have on the car ride home from detroit (went to the superchunk show) but the problem was that the object of most of my affections was driving the car and it just tears me up inside. I am such a bloody flake. I actually didn't see Superchunk at the Superchunk show. We walked in just as Rainer Maria got on to play and then left after they were done. I got a buttload of Rainer Maria stuff on vinyl though. If you have not heard them, you should. They are fabulous. I went to dinner with a friend and his two year old son Saturday night and was super unfortunate to sit near high schoolers that were enjoying homecoming. The alpha males at the table ate their food like pigs and acted like apes. The girls weren't much better, although one did come up to us and apologize for her date's apelike behavior. I just reminded her "that these memories will last a lifetime." I just enjoy the fact that at 25 or 30 this girl will look back on this magical night and think, "what was I thinking?" Did you ever notice that we are more defined as people by the things we have not done than the things that we have? When Belle and Sebastian sing that it could have been a brilliant career, I think we are all stuck thinking about what could have been than what is. It's just because we all think things could be better. And they can, but I think we all make the mistake of looking back, instead of looking forward. Maybe it's just me.

Where to start really. sinister it very much is. everyone he knows (me included) thinks the shop is a front for something. i mean, how can a business survive with no clients, and two idle employees who sit around playing computer games all day? unless of course, there is something shady going on behind the scenes. spill the beans geoff! another interesting thing to bear in mind if you were thinking that a week working with a qualified graphic designer would be very beneficial to your career, then consider that geoff has no more 'qualifications' in design than a biology degree from nottingham uni thus making him a fraud and a charlatan. he'll also pinch your lighter. oh, and how 'funny' to call a small office located above a stationary shop in East Ham 'Premonition Towers'. Twat. strange really that i should say these things about the man who is one of my best friends, but you must be warned! matt xx p.s. geoff, i'll see you at the pub later, yeah? ______________________________________________________ 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".

I don't like it. And that, before anyone tries to flame me, is supposed to be an amusing response to what was actually a perfectly reasonable accusation. I guess apologies are in order about the totally f$%*ing ludicrous disclaimers that the company I work for insists on sticking at the arse end of every email I write. I was hoping that by some kind of miracle, lack of interest, or mass disclaimer blindness that nobody would notice. Alas, as always, my straw-clutching assumptions have been well and truly broken. George, I can only assure you that it isn't my fault, and that I don't like it either. It is, apparently, the price to be paid for becoming a corporate I.T. whore. Oh well, my piece spoken, I shall leave you all with another oversized chunk of pointless disclaimer. I herewith hang my head in shame for cluttering up busy peoples inboxes, albeit through no fault of my own (except, that is, for the meandering, semi-literate, pointless paragraphs of drivel that sometimes precede that nicely-worded bit at the end)....... lol p xx. -- -----------------------------*||*-------------------------------- "Edgar Malroy said, 'A supermarket trolley that believes in God,' and then burst out laughing.

Yoko's most recent albums, entitled "Rising" and "Rising Remixes" featured Wee Sean's group IMA, which must stand for something. I thought about buying them at the time, but thankfully I didn't bother in the end. The remix one has got a twenty or thirty minute thing tagged on the end. Correct me if I'm wrong. Also, Lee "Scratch" Perry had a habit of recording his sons shouting, singing and gurgling on his records, but he's not their mum. I've got one by Jumior Byles called "Thanks We Get". It is a joyful noise. That mad woman from Throwing Muses used to put her baby's gurgling on records too. Montserrat Caballé sings and sometimes records with her daughter quite a lot. Wait a minute...can you have "sometimes" and "quite a lot" in the same sentence? To be quite honest, I don't know how often they jam together. Folk mum Norma Waterson was on the radio this afternoon doing "River Man" by Nick Drake. She turns it into a pleasant drone-a-thon, sung by a right crabby old bat. Quite good. As for fitting in with other people, I suggest you all follow astro-philosopher Jimi Hendrix's advice and go fly your freak flag high.

Dickie's background and energy suit him perfectly to place Hume's remarks on taste in their context, for he has worked long and well on the texts of Hutcheson and Hume's other near-contemporaries. Dickie's temperament makes him impatient with Kant, and even angry at Kant for dissipating Hume's achievement. His background, energy, and instincts give Dickie a philosophical voice worth listening to. It should not be ignored, and especially not by those who love Kant. Dickie is giving them a chance - slim as Dickie thinks it is - to show that they have not been taken in. Good luck to them. And thanks to George Dickie'. >From George Dickie, *The Century of Taste* (New York / Oxford: OUP, 1996), pp.vii-viii. Now, I'm serious here, folks. (Is anyone reading this?

Personally, I like the Scottish folk-singer who appears in "Lazy Line Painter Jane" and whose name escapes me now. And, incidentally, "Lazy Line Painter Jane" is in my top five favorite Belle and Sebastian songs because of Chris Geddes work on the hammond organ (isn't it time that he gets more credit for creating the Belle and Sebastian sound?). Nevertheless, I would much rather listen to someone like this bird than the breathy, five-year-oldesque lyrics of Belle and Sebastian's gentle wave. Albeit she is extremely cute (and this initially endeared her voice to me - call it the Backstreet Boys syndrome in reverse), her voice is progressively getting more and more annoying at every listen, especially on "Green Fields of Foreverland". Give me an off-key belting Scottish bird who isn't obsessed with being cute any day of the week. On the Elephant 6 tip, I saw Beulah at the CMJ in New York and they were fucking top!

You always know that a post is going to be good when it begins with pleadings for you to forgive the author before you even read the e-mail. I am at the local library (you know, the one that doesn't believe in having any books on my lovely literary list) trying to fit all of my mindless drivel into a letter before the librarians run me off. Oh they are a scary little breed - with their white purple tinged hair and their stern faces. So, if this ends abrubtly and I have just enough time to push the send button before I meet their rule filled wrath - please pray for my soul (or what's left of it). Why am I reduced to pecking away at a library who doesn't believe in books computer? Well, ummm, erh. I had a mishaps. While trying to spread good cheer, happiness, and literary joy, I crashed my computer. I had downloaded this webpage maker (Homestead. Don't use it - its of the ) in hopes of being able to post my list on the web. After I installed it and then restarted my computer so I could use it, my computer wouldn't restart. I tried coaxing it into booting up. Cooing softly in its ear, singing soft lullabyes, making promises of sweets and such. But nothing.. only grring and foaming at the disk drive. Maxwell (my computer) really does seem to be quite disgruntled with me. Oh, so much for being good to the last drop... With the advent of the computer crash calamity of 99, my name has become a hiss and a byword in my house. I have been keeping to myself and not really coming around much. So, all the more time for reading! Unfortunately, I don't even have a recent printed out copy of the list and so that's not good. Because of the failure on my part and the hatred of my name where the computer is concerned, I will not be able to post Laura's Lovely Literary List on the web. Anyone who would like to post it is certainly welcomed and encouraged to do so. I, for one, would praise your name for eternities (or at least until I fell asleep that night). I know of one person from the list who *might* do it. If that falls through than anyone with times on their hands and knowledge of how to put the list on the web to spare, let me know! If not, I can always e-mail it as an attachment to anyone who would like it. But for now, I really will not have regular access to a computer for another week. Oh bother. So, please forgive me. Well, I did have a lovely trip to Virigina this weekend. Yes, we started for a drive and ended up right close to where this beloved list's Jygsaw Dave resides. I was even on the same road as the exit sign to where the college he attends is. *Shivers* It was like walking in the holy land. There is a billboard on that road for a country music radio station that has the slogan "Feel the music" on it. I wonder when people when they look at that billboard with Shania Twain stuffed into a pair of leather pants and a leopard print halter, if 'the music' is what they're feeling? Just a thought. I would like to thank everyone who has been so kind in taking their time in recommending books. And one member of the list who will remain nameless (here's a hint. starts with a Bl and ends in an Ache.) has been quite a doll in helping me with the whole literary list compliation. Much thanks to him. Don't worry, lasses, next time I'm in Winston Salem I'll be sure to procure a more recent of our nerdy shy eyed pacifist. Though, I'll have to obtain it from where I usually see him. Hopefully the blinds won't be down that day and the tree limbs won't get in way of the ... hehe. Just kidding - his blinds are always up.. This post draws to a close (and there was much rejoicing), my computer time draws nigh (and there was much librarian stomping), and I shall bid my farewell. farewell~ Laura Llew "Failing all of your laura llew literary list needs since September" ______________________________________________________ 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".

September. September, September, September. A whole month and I’ve not posted to the list. Sorry, The List. A very different agenda prevails in Sinisterania to the one I was once familiar with. It’s all townies, upper-middlebrow TV quizzes and experimental syntax. Still, I thought I better crank up the generator once last time before Lady P and I retire to Cosy Nook for the winter months, and spend the gloom-hours in a fidgety doze or engaged in achingly slow games of Scrabble. On the subject of television programs in which unsightly children reveal their prowess at Swift Recall Of Absorbed Facts, does anyone remember "Ask The Family" ? Perhaps there’s someone on the list who appeared on the Robert Robinson-helmed barf-fest ? If so - you have my sympathies. Talk about stigma. Is Richard Stilgoe still alive ? Is he, ahem, Still Going ? If anyone can recall a kiddies’ quiz show from the early 80s hosted by said beard-owner (clue: it’s not "Screen Test"), please write to me and your name will go in the Grey Ring-Binder. There is a prize for the suggestion most offensive to my personal spiritual beliefs.

There are some fine moments on the remix rekkid, notably those efforts from Ween, Tricky and Cibo Matto. And now SeanieSean is a fully paid-up member of Cibo Matto. Aw, how entirely satisfactory and cyclical and whatnot. Meanwhile, the mysterious "b j" wrote, more in Seurat than in Ingres: > His **** of the ****** is not so much second to my own, as not even > second to my own.

Message-ID: <938487812.29694.908@excite.com> Hello all at sinister! I'm sitting blindly at a computer screen in the University library in Reno, Nevada, trying to figure out exactly what to say, as now I can send stuff to all of you (and perhaps get some feedback) I never thought that one could put so much thought into what they wanted to say, but today I am proving that theory wrong! I suppose now that I have a voice, I can give you all a bit of backround information about myself. (Is it wicked not to care? of course not!) Well I am one of the few in this town that have even heard of B&S, let alone listen to it. It's hard to find anyone in Nevada who isn't going through a Metallica or Garth Brooks phase. I am a twenty-one year old history and english major, who loves B&S and some other bands. Its actually not too bad in Reno, despite the lack of obvious good taste in music. There are snow-topped mountains, huge clear lakes, lonely desert, and casinos and legal prostitution!! My only complaint that has any merit at all in this town is the fact that there are no good record stores! I special ordered a Trembling Blue Stars albulm and it took five months to get here. As convienient as on-line ordering is, I really enjoy spending hours in record stores, checking what they have and I do not. Well, I have ran out of things to say. There are so many things that I could write, lots of people I would like to meet on this list, that I am going to save it for another time. Hope you are all having fabulous days!

It is really a wonderful movie and would probably be even better if you have a sweetheart to see it with and you both happen to love dogs. Luke Wilson is great in it, natasha Henstridge is great and beautiful and Bruce McCulloch is great in his role, although you would never expect it (I don't want to ruin the movie.) My friend and I were being antagonistic toward each other tonight and had a battle over the car stereo and a crossword puzzle. If we were together it would be cute to an onlooker (or perhaps sickening) but since we aren't I guess it is kind of depressing. Oh well, at least i saw a fatstic movie at bargain price.

(from a techno illiterate fool) Message-ID: hello there peeps! hello also to ex-trading partner, Joe who has kindly helped me out with this problem before but I STILL need help!!!:) Okay, I know people have helped me out with this problem, but since I am completely technologically inept, I need aid again. I've been trying to tape mp3's onto cassettes, and I've got the plugs running out of the line out socket on my computer, and into my stereo. Unfortunately, where I'm supposed to plug in the plugs into the "line in" on my stereo (like everyone has so kindly told me), it says "line out"! There is NO line in! And when I play the sound it's all crackly and staticy and horrible. And no matter how much I adjust the volumes on both stereo and computer, nothing helps. That buzzing noise is still there, and the sound is a little distorted. What can I do to prevent this? Can anything be done? Is it because of the line in/ line out problem on my stereo? Or do I need a new jack? and what is a "shielded cable"??? I need help! please email me privately at above address:) thanks in advance! seeya Kin Woo +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

A few of you will know that I got talking to him and was chatting away merrily for about 10 or 15 minutes. I don't think I have told anyone, however, how this conversation ended. I accidentally insulted the poor bloke. We were talking about this list and I said how good it was and how unlike many other internet groups it wasn't full of freaks with no social skills whatsoever. He said that actually he was one of those sorts of people and then I got kind of embarassed and ran away. What I'd meant by my comment was actually that this place wasn't full of the sort of people who have no life outside of their computers and attempt to make friends on the net by asking people a set bunch of questions designed to make them seem like normal people these are the people I was talking about. Stuart thought I was talking about a different group of people which he felt he belonged to. I think Stuart felt that he was one of the socially innept freaks because he feels that he has trouble expressing his deep feelings in words to other people. Some of us have feelings that we just dont have the words to describe adequately and when we try some of what we mean is filtered out by our inability to find the right language. Even when we find the language that expresses to us what we mean the meaning is further filtered out by the different associations which you hold for those words. The thing is you can never really understand what I'm trying to say unless your me, and one thing you can never be is me. I can send you a postcard but you can't come to visit. If I could write better postcards then you might get a better view of where I am. It depresses me that I can't as being useless at expressing myself leads to the sort of misunderstanding that is documented above. I'd like to appologise to Stuart for offending him and I'd love to tell him that he expresses himself far better than I do and that if he did not there wouldn't be an entire comunity of wonderfull people reading this now whose sole reason for being here is that his music speaks to us. We can't come and visit Stuart, but nobody ever can, and you write great postcards. thats all from me love 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: <37F0D949.5F395F9F@cs.strath.ac.uk> Or the records you listened to, obviously. People have talked of death, and of love, and of the stars, and of wanking. But death is what I'm talking about, kids. This might sound weird ("hmm, this sounds weird, I'll delete it") but something which used to drive me up the frigging wall and which still does to a lesser extent is the thought that when you die, assuming there's no afterlife which I do, you're basically unconcious for ever. And the thought of just not knowing anything, not being anything FOR THE REST OF ETERNITY just scared the living shit out of me, and I'm not sure why. Sometimes I used to hate going to sleep just because I would be in that state for a only a few hours. Sorry if I've depressed anyone, but it's not my fault entirely as other people got me thinking about it. Other people being LesleyJo and Archel. Hurry up with that novel. After recovering from the sniffles, glampam did write: > > there seems to have been a few changes since I went away, so for the benefit of all of you with short memories, or the recently released from the nursery, I'm really cool and pretty and everyone on the list loves me to bits!!!! Which, annoyingly enough, is completely true. Damn her pants. Oh, and Helen made us all say "I've got something in my eye" with > some bastard had just run over a cat and not even stopped. > > It was a beautiful cat. We moved it to the side of the road so at least it > would not have to be re run over. I mean wasn't his death bad enough? We > left a note in case the owners were looking for it as it had no collar so we > couldn't ring the owners. Which got me wondering. How did you attach the note to the cat? Did you have to nail it on or something, or did you have a stapler or some sellotape handy? And what did the note say? "If this is your cat then it's dead. Sorry" ? Sorry, I am a cat lover but I also have a strange sense of humour. And Ailsa ranted, as usual: > Sorry, I *always* do this, but I get sick fed up of people being so > bloody judgemental about what people look like, what music they listen > to, whether they look like Belle and Sebastian fans or not, etc etc. > And I've never judged a book by the way it looks, or by the music it > listens to (sorry, guess I'll have to leave the Sinister novel to Archel > as I can't do metaphors), and I don't like people who do so. I was going to say something here but couldn't find the right words and probably would have been misinterpreted anyway. So I won't. But what > the hell do I know, eh? Er, quite a lot actually judging by the 49 (forty nine!) questions you got right on university challenge last night, compared to my thick as pigshit 18. Bloody geniuses. Over to Arantxa: > If Notts. becomes Robin Stout county, it doesn't make me Lady > Marian,hey,Alisdair? Of course it does. But only if I can be Little Ally. Though some people may say I am already.

The dead cat, for one. The second instance of death is actually a close family friend (pseudo-family) thats dying in hospital and has only a week or so to live. I went to see her in hospital today, and (sorry for the morbidity of my recent posts) well, it was very sad. She made someone sit by her for four or so hours the other night because she is afraid that when she goes to sleep she'll die. She likes to have a person there when she goes to sleep so she feels safe. She has made friends with an orderly in the hospital and its actually quite good because the orderly sits there and talks about death and that with her. Which is something that none of her friends and family can do, because we all have too much baggage from before and it is upsetting for us, as well as her. Whereas, Trish the orderly, only knew her in hospital for the last couple of weeks and so she can talk much more lucidly with her, without breaking down. I think the worst part about her death would not be the actual dying bit but the loss of all her faculties, for her, as well as us. It clearly upsets her that she cannot walk and that she has real trouble remembering. The amount of drugs she has is so much that she cannot sustain a conversation for more than five minutes before she tunes out and stares into space. She is not that old, about 40. And one of the nicest people I have ever met..... Thankyou listees for listening, even as/if no one will read it, it is easier to write than talk often. Hey, I must seem like some sort of death-obsessed tragedy magnet.That me and bad things stick like velcro on woolen garments. Ooops. Its a good thing that no one will probably get the chance to meet me as I would probably not live up to your usual tragedy magnet expectations. I don't hang around cemetaries or even wear copious amounts of black, although now, come to think of it, I do like to scream "we are all going to dieeeeee" very loudly from my box on the corner every now and then..... Well, think about it, I listen to B&S, not really morbid stuff, although I am waiting to be contradicted by a listee who thinks that TBWTAS is the most upsetting/morbid album they've ever listened to and if you "listen to the lyrics, man" then you will realise that its pretty remarkable that all of us as listees have resisted the temptation to just finish ourselves off once and for all. Anyway, thanks to alisdair for inciting my sick sense of humour and making me smile, by making me picture my friends and I, beside the road with a stapler and a dead cat saying "Well, its always worked before....." and then another mental image of a cat with a note superglued to its hand saying "sorry, but actually I'm dead". Oh but it really was sad too... Helen.. who is just having a bad week, it'll pass in time. ______________________________________________________ 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".

In-Reply-To: <37F0D949.5F395F9F@cs.strath.ac.uk> Message-ID: You know, I have to admit, Death scared the living hell out of me for a long time. Only within the past month or so have I begun to be OK with it. The problem of most Western Cultures is that we tend to view ourselves as individuals and endow ourselves with such a great amount of importance that the thought of not being is simply terrifying. Fortunately for us, none of us are all that important though. The best discription I've heard to describe the Human race is an ocean. All the waves of the ocean are individual, just like people. Each wave will run it's coarse and do it's work (eroding, making sailors seasick...) but when it's reached the end it subsides and retreats back from wince it came. It's not what you as an individual will acomplish that is important, the only job the individual has is to enjoy what you've been given and make the best of it. The real goal is what we can do as a species. I'm sure that's not to comforting still but it's a start if you really try to think about it. Another point I want to tell you about is Wu Li. Wu Li means patterns of organic energy, it is also the Chinese charicters representing physics. Don't give up on me, I'm going somewhare with this. If you've ever studied physics you've probly have heard of the two-slit experament. When this was done with single photons instead of a whole light source (the photon was proved to be the basic component of light by Einstein's photovoltaic effect, and since light..., therefore all electromagnetic energy...) it was discovered that the act of observing whithout changing the conditions changed the responce. Blah blah blah in the end what we are left with is that energy can process information and respond, the very basis of declairing something as organic. It would follow that this could account for the brains ability to respond and learn and basicly act organic because it is a series of circuts conducting energy, which has conciousness. So it appears that at this time physics is pointing to energy as being the form of life and energy cannot be created or destroyed. Organic energy is responsible for our being and is the force trying to fight entropy (chaos). From this it can be supposed that while our matter will die, our energy will continue and in essence our death is only part of a greater metamorphosis into energetic beings which most likely will be the final destination of evolution. I hope maybe this gives you something to grasp other then dark dark death, if not i tried. Just don't be so scared of death that you forget your alive. Try to make your time here as good as possible for everyone around you as well as yourself and do something pretty... -Mike +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

What a great venue the Union Chapel is. Lovely. Do they still use it for church services? Arab Strap were great -weary vocals - blasts of distortion- big long gaps - silence - atmosphere. Stunning. Wolverhampton Ian- I've heard that Jeff Beck song at Mollyneuyuxnuey for the last 3 years but now the Mackems are 4th with a bullet (from Kevin Phillips probably) in the Premiership I'll have to do without. We come out to Prokofiev's 'Dance of the Knights' and 40 000 people going (approximately) "Waaaarrgghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!" As far as the list crush goes I now refuse to recognise it's authority. I deny it. I am a fugitive from its dominion. See? Knackers to it. I am now officially a student again. I've got numerous student/NUS/library cards complete with horrific photos to prove it. Mister Sister Disco asked who does Bus Stop. It's Kristen Bailey. And her chum Patrick does the actual web site. Finally you should have a look at the Ear Confection site 1) cos it's run by Sinister Martin Robinson 2) because Picturebox (my band) are gonna have a single on it. 2 songs heard at August's Tigermilking. Altogether now..."Janine bought a beagle..." (what do you mean you don't know it?)

Message-ID: <19990928195910.99189.qmail@hotmail.com> allo, i think i'll attempt to use headings, so you can pick and choose what you'd like to delete/read. this attempt at politeness has of course completely ruined my attempt to enter this post in an angry manner, so just pretend it didn't happen... T.O. BASHING Oi!! What is with this? EA whoever said... >...I think my original conclusions about Toronto were correct :\ Just because you didn't get a chance to meet any other sinisterites, DOESN'T mean we're snotty people, not that you said that, but you certainly conveyed it in different words. All the listees that I have met, either in depth or only spoken a few words with, were wonderfully *lov-e-ly* people. I was pleasantly surprised that there were no 'too cool for you' types around. But I guess you'll never know.... LOLLING On then, to Mother Nature and the cruel little trick she's playing with the weather over here. It's almost October and is meant to feel that way! Last week I was wearing mittens and settling into the whole university routine again...but now this....this....heat wave of sorts that we are having. It's tricking me into the summer routine of absolute laziness (yeah...like you ever get out of that routine deb...), putting off school work to lie around parks, listening to music, contemplating the future and watching squirrels romp around. Dammit!! I have an essay due tomorrow and I can't seem to get around to it. Good on me for getting out of the rut that is procrastination. Posting to Sinister is also key to escaping. DEATH :( And I must add my two cents on the death issue, as it seems to have been a key factor in my leap from childhood bliss to adulthood reality (insanity). I think my fear stems in the loss of others really, not myself. I think I avoided relationships for a long time because the thought of loosing someone was soo painful...and then I felt it. Whoever said 'It is better to have loved and lost, then to have never loved at all', must not have experienced it. I know many will object, but that is how I feel. Alasdair said : >assuming there's no afterlife >which I do, you're basically unconscious for ever. And the thought of >just not knowing anything, not being anything FOR THE REST OF ETERNITY >just scared the living shit out of me, and I'm not sure why. I don't want to go too far into this, but that (above) is basically what revived my....errmmmm...spiritual side, belief in *up above* or *the great beyond*. There are soo many people around these days willing to take me on, ask why I believe the things I do, and one simple answer I have, as childish and naive as it may seem, is that it makes me happy and less scared of the unknown. Is that really soo bad? Ohhhh....I won't take this any further... GATHERING? On a lighter note, if anyone is still reading, a few sinisterites will be going to Vox on friday, after Kado's (whoops!) Steven's (heehe) glowing review of last week. I too am reluctant, as they (bangers e le mash) also host BlowUp, but apparently the different night and different venue make all the...well, difference. So anyone who has been aching to meet some sinister coos, email one of us and we'll meet, possibly in a pub (most likely) before hand. Alright, I will keep quite now and leave sinister land...(yet again...boo) luv deb xxxxxxx i miss you all :( ______________________________________________________ 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: <19990929000433.71858.qmail@hotmail.com> hello everyone: all sorts of talk of death and fall and things and I'm feeling a little quirky today. too much magnetic fields? I didn't think I'd like it at first and now I do. and I do wish I could go for walks and leaves falling and 23 love songs in the queue, but its SF and we're having an Indian summer. It's hot over here. the trees aren't coming apart yet. and when they do, won't the loneliness descend. fall makes me sad. sundays make me sad to, like a nother girl on the list, but I don't know why. aren't sundays supposed to the the beginning of the week? or is it supposed to be the day that signifies the end of work, the end of a period of creation? I've nothing to say about death, really, but I've noticed that all good books mention death in the first 50 pages. Even In watermelon sugar, it's gotta mention death. be sure to mention death in the first 50 pages of the sinister novel. does anyone have the equation for how long a relationship lasts related to how long it takes to get over. is that a calculus equation? I thought, perhaps, it takes twice as long as the relationship to get over it, to which my exboyfriend said "16 months!" (we dated 8 months). he says you never really do get over people. I guess you never really do. everything just sort of stays inside of you and when you are very old, hopefully gracefully old (my goal is to age gracefully), you see it all through everything you've ever gone through. and won't that be something. I would feel like a mountain with so much inside. see what i mean, quirk and quirk again. I just noticed that we are the reborn sinister list. does that make us pure sinisters? or fundamentalist sinisters ;) ? if you're reborn, you know, you get to be a virgin again, automatically. byebye purely sinister cynthia ______________________________________________________ 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".

Last > week I was wearing mittens and settling into the whole university routine > again...but now this....this....heat wave of sorts that we are having. It's frankly, i think the weather is absolutely disgusting. i actually broke a sweat yesterday while i was making dinner -that is just unpardonable. in fact, while merely walking about the heat made the brylcreem come out of my hair and i almost became completely unhinged. heat is indecent. it should stop tonight and go back to being a nice, polite season like fall or spring. none of this summer nonsense where it's not wanted! fall is my favourite season, partly because that's when all the records come out, but also because it makes you a little sad. and the sadness makes you feel special. everyone gets this way and it makes them all a bit more interesting to talk to, which is also nice. plus, fall means going back to school and reinventing yourself to a degree, which is always a fun for awhile. another bonus of going back to school is the anticipation of all the fun stuff to be learned that year, of course all this wears off by winter, when you're sick to death of everyone and just want to curl up and die and never look at a book again. > GATHERING? > > On a lighter note, if anyone is still reading, a few sinisterites will be > going to Vox on friday, after Kado's (whoops!)

Perhaps he will discuss the following bizarre paragraph from the book "Crimes Against Humanity": "In a piece of breathtakingly specious reasoning, the ICJ decided that since "whether nuclear weapons are used leaglly or illegally their effects on health would be the same", the issue was *outside* the scope of the WHO's activities! As one of three dissenting judges observed, noting the evidence of health and environmental devastation wrought by the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, "to hold as the court has done that these matters do not lie within the competence or scope of activities of the WHO borders on the unreal and smacks of cynicism, and the law is not cynical"." Hmm. I blame Moon the Loon. Rachel Playforth's analysis of the appeal or lack thereof of "A Century of Elvis" pretty much hit the nail on the head for the entire genre of speak-a-pop for me. Of course, that doesn't apply to Margaret Thatcher's reading of The Declaration of Independence over a stirring classical backing, which gves me a stiffy every time. And I'm not the only one. A group of us meet on the first Thursday of every month. At Paul the Deacon's house. Katrina asked which Glasgow football team she should support. All I can say is this: with the advent of satellite pay-per-view television, there's no longer any need for ANYBODY to support any Scottish football teams. However, if you insist, I would suggest going to all the grounds and seeing which one you feel most comfortable in. Death? Pah!

And I reply Yes! he was "The Equaliser" in late 80s telly land and loads of films too, i think. The record sounds fab btw, I'll have to look out for it to go with my "Beatles go Bossa" and "Tijuana Christmas" (which *really* is fab, certainly a lot better than "Tijuana Lady" by Gomez) records. It also reminds me of one of my fave jokes, which I fear may not work written down, so you must all say it out loud to get the full effect. Q. Why does edward woodward have so many "d"s in his name? A. Cos if he didn't, he'd be eewar woowar. which makes me laugh cos it sounds funny. Why does nobody talk about Younger Younger 28s on the list? I went to see them last night and they are fabulous. They knock Baxendale into a cocked hat, anyway. If you get a chance to see them with My Life Story (who were a bit rubbish) do it. Jo Northern deserves to be on TOTP NOW! Oh, saw "Whispering Bob" the other week, and they're ace too. My mate asked them why they were called Whispering Bob and apparently is cos they live next door to Whispering Bob Harris himself and they use his garage to practice in. Sorry non-british people, I don't suppose any of you have the foggiest idea what I'm talking about.

Message-ID: <199909291609.KAA10820@turtle.esosoft.net> Dear you lot, Its Starry Sarah, back once again with the renegade master! Ha ha, no not really though! I am by myself in a computer lab surrounded by foreign exchange stewdents emailing their "pals" back home. And I am writing to you lot, with two bottles of wine hidden in a subtle bag which screams "FIRKIN OFF LICENSE" at you. I didn't mean to buy wine....but I had to look at the sheer horror of a Firkin' Offlicense... and it would be rude not to buy anything. Oh aye. So, the south. One thing I have noticed is a severe lack of decent chip shops and pie shops. Apart from the ROCK AND SOLE PLAICE (!!!! YES! The perfect name!), there are no good chip shops at all. I wanted a nice meat and potato pie today, and could I find one in Kingston OR Surbiton? Could I buggery bollocks. I'm settling in wierdly at university. I wish I had a Smiths record. As all I do each night is sit in my room, listen to records, venture out to make some tea, say "hello" to any of my "woomies" if they are lurking about, and then head off BACK to my room. I know which is the best Smiths record too. Its the one which has "This Charming Man" on it. I am transferring from doing Spanish to doing History though. Sorry Arantxa, Jordi, Millerface, and in fact anyone who doesn't live within the UK, but I don't think I want to spend a whole year in another scary country. But I have paid a few visits to some people from this Parish, round Lunding way. I went to this "Track & Field" night, to discover I am NOT in the new Trousercuts. Its shit, needless to say. Anything without me is shit, as I suppose you all know by now. It was fun at Track & Field needless to say. And at the ATP picnic thing. That was fun too. I don't remember dancing in a techno style though. I was in a chipper mood last night for some reason, and I danced round my room to the tunes of Pizzicato 5. I bought a CD called "This is Easy" too, because it has AGENT DOUBLE-O-SOUL on it. What is it you may ask. The best song title in the world, ever, I would reply. It tickles my whippet & no mistake. Also CD's for 3.99 are always good. I bought "The Worst of Total Anarchy!" for 3.99 too. It contains the Banana Splits theme tune in a punk rock version. Its ace. Steve mentioned the Tijuana series of beat records? I should inform you that the scariest one I've got so far is "Tamla goes Tijuana". I've not actually listened to it yet. And I'm not sure if its here. But the concept is enough, eh? If you do all go dancing to Offbeat, do remember to invite me. I'm awfully lonely. But, thats not cos I'm boring or anything. Heck no! And Marcus? You got into fucking Cambridge! Shut the fuck up about being thick you arsehole! Some of us got into Kingston to a course which is below their alevel grades but didn't achieve the right amount of grades to even be able to LOOK at Cambridge so SHUT UP!!!! I mean that nicely, of course. The sheer fact you even went though all the hassle that Cambridge make you go through in applications proves you have a brain! Waaah and because I don't I'm in Kingston which Isn't That Bad Actually even though half of its a building site & the lecturers don't know what they are doing.... And the amount of cockney accents here is killing me. Yuurrrgh. I got stopped seperately twice yesterday by two blokes on the street saying "you're from yorkshire aren't you". And I thought "No I am from the land of big guns where in fact our speech is made through the fire of flurping huge great big uzi machine guns"...and then realised "god...i think crap". Still. I have a book called "concepts & theories of modern democracy" to read, a "This is Easy" and NME free cd to listen to, wine to drink, and Sainsburys to bimble off and buy food from. If anyone is near Kingston and wants a pint (of gin & lemanade, hopefully) do get in touch. Byebye Sarah xx PS - Did the Waltons have any pets? I mean being such a wholesome family you would expect it. But I don't think they did. Now what does that say about family life.

While of course certain people have been lovely lovelies (you know who you are), I never 'clicked' with very many Toronto people in general, be they sinisterines or otherwise -- and this from a girl who lived there for 24 years. So I can totally relate to where our EA is coming from. I think Toronto is just one of those weird places where people are nice on their own, but in a pack they can turn into a bunch of ice cubes. I've probably been guilty of it myself at one time or another (when I was very into the whole club thing...) Don't ask me why because I've never been able to figure it out. Although I no longer live there and couldn't join in, perhaps the next Toronto Sinister meet-up should be held at a bowling alley, or better yet, a bingo hall -- kind of the perfect tacky, enjoyable ice-breaker where everyone eventually drops their guard. I'm a great believer in that sort of thing! And I have to say that after the amazing times I've had at Sinister meet-ups here in the UK (hands down winner being Bowlie), there's just no comparison. Not to say that they've all been brilliant (nothing can always be the best time of your life!) but overall...

Message-ID: <19990929182440.11521.rocketmail@web304.mail.yahoo.com> Hello Sinister, Well I'm stuck at work again late at night. My friend showed me this anarchist book once which outlined a way that we could all live without working. Which is a good idea. But it involved growing our own food and that. Which sounds like work to me. These anarchists, eh? Tsk. I'm listening to Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra LPs all the time at the moment. She's got a lovely voice hasn't she? It sort of made me realise that most of the music I listen to is sung by blokes. I wonder why that is? I did like that Edward Woodward joke. I heard it once before and forgot it, but it made me laugh *despite* it being much more of a verbal joke, it even worked on email. Magic. One time. I'm going to a 'doctors and nurses' (hem hem) party at our local students union tonight. But you can piss right off if you think I'm dressing up like a doctor. I could probably get away with claiming to be an accident victim. My mate got smacked in by some townies in Manchester the other day. They were on a tram when they started shouting abuse at my friend and calling him Jarvis Cocker and that. My mate ignored them, but made the fatal mistake of 'cheekily' tweaking the ringleader's nipple as he left the tram. You can probably guess the rest. Does anyone else acyually quite like that 'I'm Blue' song? This has been a bit random hasn't it.

When a group of young hopefuls left he shouted, "yeah, piss off you fucking gay [INAUDIBLE]". Then he turned to me and said, "Oh sorry, I thought you were with them." "No" I politely replied, then realising what he meant, I just frowned. He then said "well, gay, wankers, their shoe laces so long, like their gonna flap away". I looked at my shoes - guess what!!! Anyway, I saw that girl again today. I haven't told you all about her but I'm doing it now. She looks a bit like Jo Ortan (That's that blue shaded girl giving milk to that little tiger. - I think her names Jo Ortan.) Anyway, she also has a kid, a little girl. Anyway, whilst waiting at the bus stop her darling sprog pointed at me in that way children do, using all fingers stretched out as far as they could go and said "Scruffy". Her mum just laughed :| I wont bore you with the why's and how's but getting off of a train station and waiting for my buss I saw a blind man tagging a lift with a non blind man. The non blind man was quite embarrassed and shot off as soon as the blind man reached the shelter. But the blind man didn't seem to mind being led into a glass wall. He also didn't mind being left with no "well, take care of your self" or "are you going to be okay". Anyway, the blind man - who I think I should mention was in a suit with brief case and umbrella - was having trouble getting on a bus. As you could imagine, he couldn't read the number. He eventually got onto I think the wrong bus but it was okay, the driver (I think) took pity and offered to go out of his way to get the man home, he also didn't have to pay. Moaning about other people is fine, but I never got up and asked what bus he was getting, I never helped to pick up his stick when he dropped it. I suppose I'm just as bad as all the other adults. Anyway, currently listening to Elephant Shoe by Arab Strap. Also purchased The Smiths's Strangeways here we come, The Housemartins's London 0 Hull 4 and something from a band called Raissa called Believer. I brought it because I liked the girl on the front cover. The songs are quite good also. But reading some of her lyrics, I think she kicks with the other foot, and she's a lesbian. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

When I was at a giant "Topps Tiles" warehouse the other day though, I stepped outside from this ceramic emporium of fun and suddenly realised I was right across the road from Salford Lads Club. It was a very pleasing experience. All you crazy young things are probably far too busy being "artistic" and "intelligent" and really cool and interesting to appreciate these small joys in life. But the next time you think old fuckers are a bit boring, well fuck you. Nice to see old Peter Miller's posting a bit more frequently again. Even if he does say stuff like "First and Last and Always" in a really deep voice. Just goes to show, the dark lord's ugly head pops up in the most unexpected places. I sort of had an inkling Miller was in cahoots with Beelzebub though by the scorn in some of his recent posts. I've always thought everything you've ever said was very serious Peter. And it's comforting to hear you can still get a stiffy. Peter may be in for a treat quite soon too cos his old chum Augusto Pinochet's back in the dock again and surely a one way ticket to Spain is imminent (unless Jack Straw decides to keep sitting on the fence and just hope the evil old fucker dies before he's forced to make a decision of course). Sorry to disappoint you Peter but I doubt the General will be joining you at Paul the Deacon's house since he's not been able to have a stiffy for decades. I'm sure he'd approve of your methods though. Why does everybody say "props" round these parts at the moment and can someone tell me what it means? I've tried dropping it into casual conversation but it made me look really stupid. I'm training to be a bingo caller. Two and six, was she worth it? That's how much it cost for a shag during the war. It's good to talk about the war. Old people like it. Little Robert McTaggart found a big pile of Sea Urchin flexis in his house the other day ("my god, how on earth did they get there?" he probably exclaimed). He's a bit embarrassed to sell them himself so if someone called Keith Watson say is selling "Summershine" on Tweenet in the next few days. Well it's really Tag. Tag's my DIY buddy as it happens. Why just last night I gave him a "handy" Andy. I didn't really. But Tag likes me to say I did. If you can imagine Tag nude except for a utility belt though, then you're one sick mutherfucker. If the picture in your head has him with a stiffy then you should probably see a doctor. Strangely enough, Tag can never imagine himself with a stiffy. I expect that's why he's gone to see a doctor. All you gurlies that were complaining about the lack of meat and two veg in Eyes Wide Shut might be interested to know that Ray Winstone gets his bollocks out in The War Zone. I've heard Tilda Swinton gets her tits out too but I've not seen it so I wouldn't like to get anyone's hopes up. Football grounds in Glasgow have been the scene for some of the most wanton depravity I've ever witnessed in my life. You could do a lot worse than following the Dandy Dons to Pittodrie Katrina. Apart from the odd outbreak of bestiality it's usually quite a civilised affair. And the fans are real gents. When I took Mrs Warrander John along they said things to her like "we can always find our row because it's the one with the pretty lady on it" (or words to that effect) and she's not even pretty. Car rugs and a hot flask are strongly encouraged. I went to school with a George Dickie. He customised an old 60s Vespa, painting it gold with red, white and blue stripes and it had lots of mirrors and chrome and stuff on it. About two days after it was finished some unpleasant types set it on fire and it was completely destroyed. I think he was a glue sniffer. I'm a glue sniffer.

Well, it didn't happen, but I sent him some questions via the e-mail. It was ok I quess, nothing special, just some questions about touring and stuff. But here's a part of it you'll probably find interesting: >I've got this impression that people tend to put you in the same >category >with the likes of Belle& Sebastian and others, you know, >clever lyrics and >semiacoustic music etc. Do you think that's >accurate? Can you relate to, >say, B&S? >Darren Hayman: "I can relate to them to an extent, but theres quite a >few >differences too. Belle & Sebastian create this world which >doesn't really >exist in real life and that gets on my nerves after a >while, nice people >though." I bet THAT makes some of you think. "...B&S create this world which doesn't really exist in real life..." Well, I'm sorry to say, but that's true from my point of view. I listen to B&S and think the songs have pretty stories and some things I can identify to, but overall, Haymans lyrics are much closer to my life. All that booze and relationships that are based on sex (Hefner). And I was not bullied at school (B&S). Well I was a bit, but not to the extent that Stuart sings. And I don't get doses of thrush from licking railings. That last rant reminds me of something. I was about 5 years old and I was in pre-school. We were supposed to go to this... I don't know, I quess we were just going to go and play somewhere else than our school-yard. Well, I had to go to pee. I went, but these three boys came to the loo also. And peeked. All the time I was trying to do my thing, they were gigling and laughing and peeking and pooking. The result (and this is sad but oh so very true): I still can't pee is somebody is watching. Or pee if the bathroom door is not locked. Sniff. But really, that is a bit of a problem. Well, that was it. Not exactly beeing bullied, that one, but left marks to my psyche that I still haven't gotten over with. Phew. Now to some other stuff. Mark Niciu said this: >Has anyone heard any rumors regarding the upcoming Belle and Sebastian >album? My contribution: Stuart David informed a friend of >mine that there >will be a sitar on the next album!> ... and you should've heard me weep. Look, I've told you about my hatred towards bagpipes. Now, let's make it clear. There's only one thing that even comes close to the horrid sound of a bagpipe; it's sitar. I mean, for fuck's sake, pling plong plong pliiiiing. That's sitar for you you. And bagpipe? tooouuuuuuuuuuuuooouuoooouuoooooot. Sitar for me is an instrument played by: a) these men with long beards who talk with a funny accent in Hollywood movies b) people who are stuck to the crappy LSD-Beatles years. There. I'm going to get some coffee now. @--->--- Jarkko F, Jake le Petit. ps: Paul Scholes for president. ______________________________________________________ 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".

Congratulations! But I must protest. Linguistics is not useless. It's like working for the joy of giving. You can use it to come up with explanations for mishearings on the lyrics page, as in: "I know we've had this thread before, but don't you think it's odd that such a softly-spoken and not very raucous (rock beast Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie excepted) band as Belle And Sebastian should create such confusion with their lyrics? On their theme tune Stuart Murdoch seems to sing his F's like B's. As in: 'Bella you are ill, you'd better take a weight up off your mind' and 'When I was young you were the only bun in town'" /b/ and /f/ both labial ... (And phonology isn't even the interesting part.) Michael Jones wrote: > It's all townies, upper-middlebrow TV quizzes and experimental syntax. Who/what are townies? If they get lumped together with experimental syntax it must mean something pretty neat. I used the new search feature, but didn't find anything explanatory (only more questions - who/what are neds?). the Narrow Wizard wrote: > I accidentally insulted the poor bloke. > We were talking about this list and I said how good it was and how > unlike many other internet groups it wasn't full of freaks with no > social skills whatsoever.

I think there would be no need for embarrassment if it was clearly understood who insulted whom. No, it was probably good intentions on both sides. What I like especially about the misfits in Belle & Sebastian songs is that they have a sort of pride, relative to their own standards - at least how I see it, or how I wish it to be. I met a woman who said call me Arantxa. (Her real name is Maria.) She said Arantxa was a name from the Basque region. It made me think of mountains and shepherding and white embroidered aprons, but I have no idea if that's right. It added romance to Lady Marian's past.

I had The Magnetic Fields, The Radar Bros, The Montgolfier Bros, Gastr del Sol, Cousteau, Spearmint and Will Oldam on my list and he clearly thought it was a winner so maybe someone should get Barry Hogan to give me a call.

Wie geht's meine friendens? Or something. I have recently been to said Canadian town of infamous hospitality recently and tried out some Toronto slagging for myself. Unfortunately I found the white stilletos and short skirts didn't quite suit me. But the people I met there were extremely welcoming, and accepted a couple of weirdos from out of town with open arms. Obviously I can only defend the people I met and not the whole city itself so I have exceedingly good things to say about Emily, Debbie, Teri, Laura, Diane and Kevin and probably others when I was too inebriated or hungover to remember names. Anyway onto things I need. Ummm... has anyone a copy of the Smile sessions by those Boys of the Beach that I can steal, borrow or get a copy of please? I will return the favour if anyone does. Now to disguise that shameless list exploitation with prose of the most testicular origins. I would like to belatedly contribute The Partridge Family as an example of mums in pop. Though I do think of her as a bad example to other ensuing family's in pop, especially making her two year old son who should have been in potty training at that time play the drums to David Cassidy. Cruel. And not even Mr Jackson or the Mr Hanson of mmm...Mattessons fame actually put there kids through the ignomy and embarrassment of playing with them and dancing like mum's do at wedding. Very cruel. And anyone who dismisses The Partrdges as made for TV fare then I will debate you with Monkees. In fact there As We Go Along is one of the finest songs in umm all the lands. Or something. And I'm delighted to see the wit of Richard Stilgoe OBE gracing these pages. If we can forgive his conspiring with that Lloyd-Webber character we can delight in his Radio 4 appearances, his humourous tunes like Pam Eyres to music, his status as High Sheriff of Surrey and the fact that his name is an anagram of "godlier than Christ", "has erotic girls" & "grope this hairy crotch". What a guy! Unfortunately I do not know his TV work from the early 80's sufficiently to answer Mike's trivia question though. Do you ever get the feeling you shouldn't have started something? Anyway, to those who need to know I have overcome one of my deepest fears and been to the Post Office recently.

I just started reading the great current pop novel "High Fidelity" by Nick Hornby. So far it has made for a very interesting read and I wanted to check it out before the movie starring John Cusack and Neve Campbell appears in theatres. They filmed it here in Chicago at Reckless Records and I'm sure other cool locations. Being a record store manager of new/used cd/lp/cass myself, this book has really hit home.

Message-ID: <19990930112839.8417.qmail@hotmail.com> Hi, I have been a fan of Belle and Sebastian since I heard them in session on radio 1(late96/early97). When I hear a song I like, I try and write down the name of the band/artist and luckily for me I was listening to the radio that morning. I miss heard the name of the band though I thought they were called Bella Sebastian. I rushed out and bought myself a copy of IYFS and for the next couple of months I did little else apart from listen to it. My initial reaction on hearing IYFS was that I was finally going to get to see a band live which I felt as passionate about as Nick Drake. I would say I have heard the following statement around 25 times while wearing B and S T-shirts:- "Belle and Sebastian, I used to watch that when I was a kid" If I know who ever said it and know they are'nt in to music I often reply with "I am a big fan" On the subject of the original B and S, I would love to get my hands on a copy of a B and S book, If anyone knows of a copy for sale please e-mail me. I am not really Tiger Woods,although I am Paul and I have just played the best round of golf in my life and I was itching to tell someone, Ta,Ta Paul. ______________________________________________________ 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".

Those sucker djs who were not street enough to be rolling high with large incomes, or those still at college, did not have the wherewithal to purchase such expensive pieces of metalwork. So they resorted to hiring costume jewellery from theatrical suppliers. Hence they assumed the term ^Ñprops^Ò, theatrical shorthand for stage properties. By and by ^Ñprops^Ò stopped being something fake and started to mean respect for the originators. ^ÑGetting your props^Ò was shorthand for others being prepared to do anything to keep it real. Even if it meant not keeping it real. You see? I read that in a book in the Stevie Trousers pop archive. Other exciting news includes the apparent plans of the mighty Exeter City Football Club to name the new stand they^Òre building (to replace the old Big Bank) The Duke Stand, after Exeter^Òs most famous resident. I can^Òt say I blame them. Exeter Falcons Speedway team apparently have a hot dog stand called Piezoelectric Unit. I've lost my mac. If you find it, will you return it please? My mum sewed my name and address inside it. Mister Stevie ^ÑGor Blimey^Ò Trousers, who is a good boy and loves ^Ñis muvvah, wrote: >Aren^Òt mothers brilliant? He deliberately neglected Cissy Houston to spite me. It^Òs not surprising that Whitney has grown up so absurd having had such a supreme soul stylist as Missy Cissy as her old mam. I refuse to talk about Auntie Dionne Warwick for personal reasons. Of course you are all welcome to come round, I^Òll be delighted to get my Judds out for you. You can only expect to look at them, though, because if anything other than that bleedin^Ò Spearmint LP goes anywhere near our record player Stevie gets angry. Things get broken. People get hurt. Know what I mean? The LP's not too bad, actually, when it stops sounding like The Jags. I forget the name of June Carter^Òs mother, but she most certainly was in the Carter family. And of course, the extraordinarily ordinary Rosanne Cash is the daughter of June and Mister John the flowerpicker himself. Carlene Carter is also a catkin off one branch or another of that particular family tree, too, and she recorded for King Elvis Costello^Òs record label and married Nick Lowe. Proper little parade of X chromosomes. Has anyone noticed how all the mothers so far have been of a higher musical quality than their spotty offspring? And can I add Rita Marley and Janet Ellis to the list? Someone said: > His **** of the ****** is not so much second to my > own, as not even second to my own. Love / Common People? War / Worlds? Battle Hymn / Republic? Infection / groin area? Clang / Yankee Reaper? Last / Famous International Playboys? Rub / green? Abuse / Caps lock? Gift / Gab? Day / Jackal Grasp / purple lovepump? Stig / Dump? I don^Òt understand. What I will say, however, is that my loathing for the Smiths is the loathing of a love betrayed. Once upon a time I lived for them and they went and turned themselves into the ultimate in cynical exploitation, songs which alternated between hysterical and self-parodic backed by a tedious rock band _ordinaire_. That^Òs what I think. Still love those first two singles though. ^ÑTrina wrote: >i'm trying desperately hard to find a Scottish team to support^Å I recommend Berwick Rangers.

I have been living in Rotherhithe, England for some months now and I^Òve yet to meet anyone who likes any music that is any way hip. Anyone in the South East London area fancy getting together and listening to some hip sounds, that^Òd be great. If you have any idea what is hip and what is not, that^Òd be even better, because then you could tell me what was hip before you came round and I could go to the record shop and buy a record of it.

I think whoever said that maybe we never get over people we have been with is right. Or kind of right. I know there are people that I still feel strongly about, and who I will probably never get over. I think the real trick is to find someone who has some of the same qualities as that person you have a longing for in your heart, not to replace that person, but to remember what it was about that other person that made you feel the way you do andit makes you appreciate what you find attractive about people in the first place.

No, not really. Message-ID: <1CA1175C57@hermes.nottingham.ac.uk> Arantxa and I saw the Beta Band last night, and they were dead ace. It's a shame they've shaved off their beards, though. I remember when Vic Reeves interviewed them on his radio show, Cock In The Wood; Vic: (to Bob from the Beta Band) Can I feel under your beard? Bob: Okay then Vic: Oooh! A pair of testicles! Funny how his name was Bob isn't it? I'm still amazed by how The Two Ronnies were both called Ronnie, though. I've never met anyone called Ronnie in my life so TWO of them, in a double act which doesn't just rely on the fact that they've got the same name (although that is quite funny) has to be more than just a coincidence. On the subject of death, I think I actually worry more about the whole Two Ronnies thing than death. Maybe I've got things a little out of proportion. The way I linked all that together was rather inept, wasn't it? I'll never be a DJ. Waiting for the new B + S album is worse than waiting for Christmas when I was eight. To add the the rusty old rumour mill that's been cranked up again lately, there's a little piece on the Jeepster news page that says that the band are "fine-tuning new songs from nearly all of the band members". I hope this means that Sarah and Richard will be doing stuff. A few months back someone said that all the new songs were going to be Murdoch compositions. So really we haven't got a clue what it's going to be like, have we? Here's my suggestion; 1; Song About My Big Bottom (Big Arse Song) by Isobel Campbell 2; Song About Snooker by Richard Colburn 3; Mixin' Da Dexx by Chris Geddes 4; She's A Girl And She's Got Ricketts by Stuart Murdoch 5; Song About My Wife by Stuart David 6; Blow My Horn by Mick Cooke 7; I Have A Triangular Face by Stuart Murdoch 8; New York Girl by Stevie Jackson 9; Too Short To Play A Treble Recorder by Sarah Martin 10; Loony Girl, She Eats Shoes by Stuart Murdoch Who said satire was dead?

I can confirm this, as I wrote about the very same thing to the list not that long ago :) Chris, I'm disappointed in you - you say all these things about how I should be top of the list crush and you don't even read my posts... Isobel playing the sitar not a good idea cos it's too big an instrument for her? Unlike that tiny little cello you mean? My secret spies (by which I mean I can't remember who told me this) tell me that all of the band except Richard have written stuff for the new album. I don't really know if I like this idea. Say it's a 12 track album - that's half the songs that aren't by Stuart. Which is not good if you're a big Struan fan like me. Does anyone know which of them's responsible for writing Landslide? I'm sure someone told me Stu had written it for Isobel, see I figured she'd written it as they all sing the ones they write, but I guess it's not the sort of song a boy could sing, even a boy with a voice like Struan's. Does anyone else think Stuart David's songs are taking the piss? See I get the impression he doesn't like Belle and Sebastian's music much, and I reckon he sits there thinking "I'm going to write something nauseatingly uber-twee, and see if they realise I'm taking the piss". And irritatingly, although naff and uber-twee, they're really rather pleasant. BabyChris was also asking about Astrid Williams (or Astrid Williamson,as she's really called). I have no idea if she's any good or not, but it *can* continue the thread about pop relatives, as her cousin is Candida Doyle. I danced to Bon Jovi, Steps and Britney Spears last night. And I enjoyed it. Just to prove I mean what I say about having no pretensions about musical taste at all. You can ask Alasdair, if he stopped being horrified long enough to watch (although he was dancing to some pretty cheesy stuff too). Much more fun than the (cancelled) Arab Strap show that we were meant to be at would have been, I imagine. Indie-schmindie.

I'm not sure what all this fuss is about regarding Toronto. It's a great city and I every time I've returned from a trip abroad, I see more and more reasons why I love living in this city. How many cities in North America can boast having 2 clubs that play lovely B&S tunes to dance to? It's really nice to be able to step out in my dancing boots on a Friday night knowing I will be able to wiggle to a few B&S tunes and maybe a Looper tune or two! Yes, some Torontonians seem a bit cold... but were mostly just shy... Anyways... I'm heading to the VOX this Friday and I was wondering if any fellow Toronto Sinisterites are interested in meeting up? This is a bit last minute... but what the hell. I'm hoping the good DJ will play something from Tigermilk this week... Oh.. yeah Hershal, I'm not sure what's going on next week yet, but I can a least point you towards the better venues and clubs around town. Just drop me a line!

The first album (Autour de Lucie) is a work of art, and the second one (I don�t remember the name right now) is also lovely. Valerie, the singer, is for sure some kind of fallen angel and sometimes, she makes me think about Isobel... Stay Handsome, Charles Byron I've recently been on a french kick. I want to listen to anything that has people singing french on it. Which for me contains only the french song from Rushmore and Belle and Sebastian singing Poupee De Cire. Poupee De Son . So if anyone could tell me some good french artists I'd be eternally grateful.

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING Less boring. hopefully. Laura wrote: >before the librarians run me off.

Sorry, just thoght I'd rant a bit. WRITER'S BLOCK You know how it is. You were coming up with all sorts of things you could say during the day then you just can't remember them. Oooh. I'll tell you about my hi fi. Well, I'm not that rich so it's not shocking, but it's much better than the last one. 3cd changer a whopping 2 tapes (the old one didn't) and RDS an' all. Hurrah. I love it I COULD TELL YOU WHAT I'M THINKING (it never seems to work) I'm going to resort to one of these more intelligent discussions: The Narrow Wizard said what he felt: >Some of us have feelings that we just dont have the words to >describe adequately and when we try some of what we mean is filtered out >by our inability to find the right language. I get this feeling. Sometimes I wish you could just show someone what is in your head rather than put the extra strain on yourself to try and work out how to say it. One thing you could try is to tell things in stories. Just an idea, but I think it helps to make people see as much of the picture as possible. I also think that when you are listening to someone you should try and help them communicate by trying to imagine what is in their head. Oh dear. I'd better go. -- James Thorniley +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".

Message-ID: <71f38a19.25253fd8@aol.com> Jarkko writ: "Sitar for me is an instrument played by: a) these men with long beards who talk with a funny accent in Hollywood movies b) people who are stuck to the crappy LSD-Beatles years." Hmmm...I know I may have started a thread awhile back about Brian Wilson vs. the Beatles but even I didn't have the balls to say that. Considering the Beatles were given LSD by their dentist in '64, you're saying everything from Help to Let It Be is crappy? Wow...thats about all I can say because I am simply stupefied... Ailsa made me feel alot less lonely when she said: "I don't really know if I like this idea. Say it's a 12 track album - that's half the songs that aren't by Stuart. Which is not good if you're a big Struan fan like me." I couldn't agree more. Maybe it means they came up with an idea to start the song, a chord pattern perhaps, and then Stuart took the ball and ran with it. I really hope so, because even though I think TBWTAS is my fave album of all-time I say that meaning only the Struan songs and Is It Wicked... Seymour Stein is nice and all but the other two non-Struan tracks are just pish and then some. I keep thinking that if maybe they had included 11 of Struan's tracks and Isobel's take then the record would have been alot better. I mean, especially Stuart D's tracks, which are very lovely by themself but when placed next to anything Struan even breathed upon they shrivel up and die. Paper Boat is quite nice. Maybe this is just an extension of Stuart trying to defuse the spotlight everyone seems to want to shine on him. Maybe if he doesn't include enough Isobel tracks she holds out on him...who knows? This brings to mind something else I've been thinking about for awhile. I know B&S are a band and not a cult of personality surrounding Stuart, but let's be honest: the man's voice is the reason most of us (myself included) come back everyday to hear the same album for the 400 millionth time. It never gets old. It really is their trump card and to totally throw that away for half of the album seems a bit arbitrary to me. I think everyone one of them are the best players at their instruments that I've heard in ages and the way they play together just totally befuddles me in its perfection and heart, but this would be like Wee Chris telling Stevie that he wants to play lead on a track or Isobel taking over the keys: sure its fun but is it really the best they can do? I play drums and when my band fools around at practice I noodle around on whatever instrument is lying nearby but I know if we did that for an entire song it would just lose that certain something. I don't know...maybe I'm expecting too much. Me and Todd H. of the Sinister list are getting together at University of Maryland on Oct 15th for Midnight Madness, which is the first practice of the men's basketball team. If anyone fancies meeting us and taking part in a drunken, stoned mini-Sinister meet they are more than welcome. Come prepared to scream at collegiate men with growth abnormalities... Umm...ok...that was alot longer than I had planned Later Steve C. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at majordomo.net".
