I'm glad you answered, really. the point is, there is a difference between an unmade bed and Tigermilk, isn't it ? if it's based on not understanding, than I expose my unmade bed (with nice and green blankets), I call it a master-piece and if you don't like, that's because you don't understand it. that's the easiest way. maybe the point is doing something so weird and meaningless, just to shock and get some attention. and call it art. maybe I don't understand an unmade bed, but I do understand that whatever people understand from it, is less valuable than Belle and Sebastian, for example. I know it's this conviction that made you writing that thesis about Goebbels and the nazi strategy. the context is very important of course, but there are ways to find quality in art independently of its context. the words "roten culture", referred not to the bed, but to all the system in art that mostly hides the good ones behind the socially beautiful ones. that's roten. greetings tiago +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister at missprint.org".

Yes, I know it´s hard to believe, but harder for me was to learn how to type with my forward paws while standing on my back paws without falling from the chair that I steal to my owner whenever I can. Ohh, I bet it was hard to learn !!! My owner has been susbcribed to the list. Those of you who come to the #sinister chat ("chat " is "cat" in french, something that makes me glad to go there) may know who is my owner, but please don´t reveal it !!! if I get caught here while sending an e-mail to this list, i´ll be punished, locked inside a room. Ohhh, how cautious is my owner with the net connection !! I must say that I like this list. I even like more the sinister website, even tough there´s no photos of cats there, and we have a dog there (a greek dog ???), which is NOOOO GOOOOD. Dogs are smelly !!! this sinister list should be perfect for cute female felines like me. In fact, if I decided to subscribe myself, it was for the fact of getting in touch with Splat the Cat !!! I´ve heard so many lovely things about her.....and, of course, for ALFIE THE CAT !!! My owner hasn´t stopped listening to this record with this girl who is terrified of the definitive beauty of ALFIEEEE !!!! Alfie is my idol, definitely. I´ve also learned how to browse the archives. Which was good enough for reading this e-mail from George Henry Dickie, which was soooo cute. It reminds me of the times when i´m sleeping near the belly button of my owner, but all I can hear are desires of food instead of other things like the ones he mentioned. Oh, George, you help me loads writing in capital letters, my cute little green eyes have to suffer a lot the rays of a computer screen. Well, that was my introduction. Before I go to my favourite couch, to re-take my 16-hour sleeping , I´ll say that I want more B&S songs about cats !!!! I know "A century of Elvis" was about cats, wasn´t it ???? And please, don´t make jokes with me about Cat Stevens or the Stray Cats. I can be a cat myself, but I have my decent musical taste. Bye, lovelies !!!! =^..^= Sent by MeowMail.com http://www.meowmail.com The online colony for today's well-wired cats and their human valet. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <001b01c05b59$8677f7c0$ef551198@wfu.edu> Dear list: I believe it was sometime, early in 1999 (it was probably a very warm day down here in the Carolinas. I cannot dare describe the weather here during spring and early summer) that I changed my style from capital letters at the beginning of a sentence (like the rest of the world does) to no capitalization anywhere unless I mentioned God, Truth, or Isobel. But as you can see, I am now reverting back to my former ways, and doing as we should be doing: upholding the frank, and dare I say, strict regulations administered by the English language. You all know what I'm talking about: the shoulder girl. Yes, fine and well, she's the can't miss photo on the Sinister body parts page. Now, I have been out of the loop here in Sinister land for quite a while, and I seem to recall that there was, at one point, a bit of a debate as to who the shoulder girl really is. Frankly, I don't care. Because I am in love with the shoulder girl. She sits, so delicately, on my computer desktop (I chose the "set as wallpaper" and never looked back), staring at me. I just can't help it. The way her hair bands are red and blue. Well, it melts me. Now, before you all laugh and/or scream at my screamability, think: have you ever totally fallen for someone because of a small thing like their nails, or their eyelashes? Right, well, then it's not so far-fetched now is it? I feel so silly. But silliness is the mead, and we are just a cronie-filled mead hall, I suppose. I am just so naive. And last night I took my computer (it's a laptop, you see) to my friend's room to have it fixed, and he looked at the picture and said: "Boy those are dick sucking lips." Whew. There goes the naivete. I equate that to finding out Santa Claus isn't real. All the innocence. Gone. Oh well. I apologize for the smut factor. But I had to lay it on the line. You understand, don't you? There has been recent talk of having crushes on Eminem. While I don't have a crush on him, there is a certain element to Britney Spears that makes her cute as a button. Oh heeheehawhaw all you went. She's cute. Mega-cute. I used to have a theory that I was invisible. No kidding. I would sometimes pass my hand before my eyes and think that I couldn't see it. I now get the feeling this predicament is happening again. Sometimes I'll be in the lunch line and I'll just pass through with no acknowledgement. Hmmm. So I've rediscovered the love. Of B&S. That's right, this is list content. I threw in TBWTAS yesterday and almost cried. It's now one of those records that remind of a specific time in my life, and more than anything, I saw colors, and flashes of moments I had forgotten, now remembered. I urge everyone to go play a record they haven't played in a long long time. You never know what you might rediscover. goodnight the nerdy shy-eyed pacifist blake http://members.tripod.com/nucleartrout +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

(guess all this post-erection oratory is making me more roman than usual. i'm hot for your bauds...) took me another three days to catch up on the last week. tweensters are voluable beyond any conception i've ever had!

JENOWL, i hate to give advice on such a breif acquaintence...so how about a suggestion? teflon body armor and helmet. oh, and steel-toed shoes. several mentions of allan moore have prompted me to say: omigawd! PROMETHEA! this could be the best thing for anthology story-within-story writing since SANDMAN! has anybody on the list seen any of his legendary live performances? i've heard a couple CDs and they are mindblowers. content: i have the feeling that this must've come up before, but it's been on my mind for some time. it's about stuart's falsetto voicings. we all know about the level of androgyny in the lyric (i think i needn't cite chapter and verse to the faithful), but when coupled with the high register, the wistful quality doubles the effect. that whole thing about the boy trembling on the edge of manhood and all, that underscores the searching, tenuous quality of the storylines... even sonic youth had an early alb called 'confusion is sex' and hendrix's song 'love or confusion' sort of says a lot: when we don't know what we are, we are most likely to be shaped by that which we desire...even reflecting the other in ourselves... (i apologize for the scattered nature of this transmissive. i'm trying to stay in the 15 minute ballpark figure. and failing.) and it's not as if i'm saying the boy lacks testosterone; we all know that some of the greatest lovers in song were famed for their near-castratii range. think of marvin gaye, smokey robinson, stevie wonder, curtis mayfield--and, you will note: all soul singers. ok, motown. mostly. but that's a minor distinction. if you doubt, ask pauline l. shivers...if she really IS the same PLS who's realplayer song i checked out from a link on this list (princess honey, can you confirm?) oops. i digress again. no. wait a minute. i do NOT digress. what i wanted to say is as i am a USAer, my knowledge of the phenomenon called 'northern soul' is somewhat limited. so i'll put it to you scots et al who do know this genre. is 'struan' a soul singer in this tradition? (i mean, i'm not saying rick astley--he's the only one i'm halfway sure of, but, well. you know.) ok, b&s rock--granted--but... oh no. this is really ALL over the place. first i'm making an arguement for sexual indeterminacy and then i stray into whether or not he's a soul man...

Message-ID: <383668580.975679381447.JavaMail.root@web569-mc> Hello my favourite list, Well I really have been doing nothing the last week-end. That was great. I hung around in pyjamas almost 48 hours. Mmm I did do some stuff in fact. Like I watched cartoon and shows in catalan and it was dead fun. Have you ever watched Star Trek in catalan?? Well it�s a bit like watching Zorro in Japanese I guess. I would tape it for you for fun it is but I don�t own a video recorder :/ Still, I think that I like catalan because it�s a funny language, as simple as that. You should hear the people in Star Trek saying �Bon dia, Comandant�. Well maybe it doesn�t sound fun like that, I admit, but I had a good laugh. I also listened to �Definitely Maybe� by Oasis from the first to the last track. No I am not insane. It�s just that I own that record and I hadn�t played it for at least 4 years. So I did, and I remembered when I was not even 15, in 1994 that is, and that I was starting with lots of excitment to be an indie kid. My mum thought it was teenage stuff, and let me go to the Oasis gig with my indie-cute-boyfriend-at-that-time. I thought he was about to be a fanzine star cos he interviewed Shed 7the same week. Well being almost 15 was fun, it seems. I was looking at my bro in that �but you can�t understand� way that I can�t stand nowadays when I see school girls in the street ;) Then this week I had a Beatles revival. In three days time I listened to all their albums, and I jumped and sang "Ob-la-di-ob-la-da" at top volume in the living. I just forgot how the Beatles are the kings of pop songs (eeer I don't mean to raise a debate here, if you disagree it's fine by me ;) Mmm is that the 21-year-old effect of being nostalgic and listening to old stuff? Maybe it's the beginning of boredom for me. It's the first day of December today. That is good news because I can start eating again. End of month is such a tough period these days�Hopefully by the end of December I'll be at home in France and my mum will feed me, and then if everything goes fine (toes crossed) I'll be in Big London City for new year's eve and I hope some listees will feed me :) Well if not I will drink beer and it will feed me, it's made with cereals so it should be alright. I hate buying Xmas pressies. I am always in lack of ideas. I asked my brother what he wanted, so he sent me a little list with CDs and stuff and I was amazed: I was expecting him to ask for some more Slipkot and Korn and Perfect Circle, and...he wants me to get him an Eels album!!! Maybe I'll finally manage to do something decent with that boy. Mmm ok I should be off now to see how my scary teacher is mean at people doing their presentation, so I will get even more scared for my 30 mn presentation in 2 weeks. Luckily it's Friday.

That is how I am starting off this post, because it is true. I am not very lucid at the moment, my little child brain has gone all numb so I am being all monosyllabic, and a sweet little old lady asked me if I was on drugs, and then said something about burning in hell rah rah rah. Everyone seems decided that I'm burning in Hell at some point soon. Priests especially. I am never going to confession again, they're supposed to listen, not tell you that you are the spawn of the devil (well, he didn't say that but you oculd tell he really wanted to), and gasp and stuff, just because you mention that you were mean to your ex girlfriend. He didn't even give me a chance to say the whole thing before he said I was going to Hell if I didn't stop. The Lord will smite me and my kind down with his big smelly fire sword. Oh, cause that's always fun... I think I will put some content in, but I can't think of anything to say. Ian played me oh come emmanuel over the phone, and it's really really ace, but christmas songs are a bit sad, because there's only a set time you can listen to them without getting really depressed. But I like it, because it works really really well. I think they've done amazing grate genius things with it, and I will listen to it all year round once I get it at the sake of my sanity and biological clock. I had a really bad week, this week, I think I can't ever be cheerful anymore. I fell out with James the Ginger Perv, and I can't even remember what about, but he called me frigid and a bitch and a nerd and sayed he pretty much hoped I got beaten up. Then I was ill. Then I fell, because someone left lots of plastic strips, like the kind that go round boxes, all over the place, and they got caught up in my big clumsy feet, and I went crashing down, onto broken glass and pointy rocks, and mud and my tights got a massive hole in them and my hands and knees were all torn and there was blood and mud all over me, and then a couple of hard kids walked by and laughed, they came over to push me back into the mud, and I was nearly crying and I just screamed "If you fucking come near me I'll knock your fucking teeth down your bastard throats" (with sweary words and everything) and the amazing thing was, that even though I was all muddy and bloody and crying and half in the mud still and I really didn't mean it, they just sort of laughed and walked away. It was really amazing, really and truly. And after that, on the day after, they were at it again. And I ripped my tights again, climbing a fence to try and get to school on time, because I'd slept in, because I had bad dreams, and I decided that instead of walking about looking like an extra in Les Miserables again, I would take them off, only it was cold and James the Big Ginger Perv saw that I had bruises and said "Oh but Jen, you never bruise.", which is true, because I will take a real beating and never show it, and I just gave him a bog frown, and he laughed and said it was really funny. Then on the way home three little kid hard kids tripped me up on the bus and I hurt my knees again. So really my knees have been quite unlucky this week. But good things, I have done more things to my Angelfire website, and it's still really pants, because I still can't upload pictures, but it is happy and cheerful, and I've done another Bob the Ghost Wasp story, about how Bob became a ghost, and I've done a bit on Shy Violet from Rainbow Brite, but it's not up yet. Do you want to go there? If you do it's www.angelfire.com/weird/mmmhowqueer/index/html (ha ha no more expage jobs for me...) And I am going to a party and I am going to wear a purple dress from the magic shop in Glasgow which sells clothes, and i think it really was magic, because they had perfect dresses for me and my friend. Well, mine isn't perfect, but my friend said it was. I think I just look silly. Because I have a cleavage now, you know, and it all looks very grown up. First the mascara, now this, what's happening to me? This has been quite a long mail. I'm not so incoherent now, though I still am, so I'm sorry, if you read this and it wasn't very sense making. I have to do a Personal Essay, about something that happened to you that's worth writing about, that you can let the teacher read. So I couldn't think of anything good, but I decided in the end to write about the time I went to stay with my German Penfriend and she turned out to be a Hitler lover, and she said he was grate because he killed Scottish people, and she beat me up, and poured salt in my cuts, and wouldn't let me sleep on bed, only on the floor, but not like in a sleepover where you have a sleeping bag, but in the way where it's solid stone type, and you don't even have a blanket, and how she tied me up and locked me in a cupboard and told her parents I'd run away when I was actually upstairs in the cupboard, and how I used to sneak out of the window during the night, and go and look at the trees and the sea and things in the moon, until one time she woke up and saw i was gone and shut the window so I couldn't get back in and I had to wake her parents up, and how she put her bracelets and things in my case and said I stole them, but the teacher didn't really believe me, even though it was very true, because I still get nightmares about it sometimes, and it was very bad. But I'm going to write about it anyway. I love Colin. He is very nice and he did a very nice thing for me. I really do owe him one in a big way. Sorry for boring you, only you didn't have to read it if you didn't want to, only I'm glad you had, only I'm sorry that if you did you would be bored. Only I can never think of anything interesting.

Belle and Sebastian!! Belle and Sebastian!!', while your flatmates/parents/friends/cellmates look on with utter indifference. I suppose that would be too much to ask, after the Brookside incident. And while that might have been fun, surely it would be much funner if, say, 'Legal Man', was to be heard in the Queen Vic. If you're played on Eastenders, then you've really made it! I still keep looking to see if any of them managed to scratch their names onto the laundrette wall during the infamous post-Top of the Pops invasion of Albert Square. We can only hope. As for 'Emmanuel', well, it's rather loverly, isn't it? Although it is disappointing, as David Moore pointed out, that they've jettisoned the second verse - 'O come thou Rod of Jesse free/Thine own from Satan's tyranny' et cetera. Maybe no one else fancied singing, but you'd have thought that if they were going to get rid of one verse it would be the fourth, what with that awful 'high/misery' rhyme that poor Sarah had to try and mangle in. Having listened to most of the album (and skipping through the other bits that didn't sound too promising) it seems that B+S are one of the few bands that aren't trying to be too smart or too clever, which is a good thing, one would have thought. So-called VodkaBird said that she thought that they were "lumbered with the duff track", but one would imagine that they chose it themselves and it's not really a surprising choice. It's much better than being oh so flipping ironic like some of the others on the album. And it fits in nicely after 'Winter Wooskie' on my EPs tape, which resides in my walkman from time to time (if admitting to listening to Belle & Sebastian is still allowed, seeing as lots of Sinister types appear to have given it up!). Remember, you might well be able to hear live renditions of 'O Come O Come Emmanuel' at some churches this weekend, it being the start of Advent and all. You're even allowed to sing along! (But Jen, try to stay out of the confessionals!) On an entirely unrelated excursion through to Glasgow earlier this week I popped in to the 'Electric City' exhibition at the Lighthouse that I mentioned in my last post (what? you don't remember?!) which, to be honest, wasn't at all as exciting as I hoped it might have been. It would probably be best to go when there's actually something on (but it was free and it did keep me out of the rain for a bit). However, they do have two tailor's dummies dressed in what appears to be the clothes that Mick and Richard wore to the Brits, which, while hardly the Turin Shroud, might be of interest to some people. Not entirely sure which people, mind you. Anyways, good weekends all round, and happy confessing!

Message-ID: <20001201225847.9979.qmail@web108.yahoomail.com> hi! do you ever for no reason at all answer the telephone by saying simply 'hi' rather than the usual 'hello w/question mark'? it freaks people out. i'm feeling communicative. but also ambiguous. but the latter is nothing new if new is the past few months (okay, years). but also, despite the ambiguity, i am probably in love. and that is a good thing, as is being loved. i have never been out for breakfast so much in my life. interesting thing about love is that it changes with different people and won't be defined. i mean, that's what i've noticed, and now that i understand that (as opposed to just shrug my shoulders at it), it's become quite nice and not as anxiety-producing. mmm. right, so i saw aisler's set last night with bratmobile! it was *awesome*! *and* the aisler's set bassist was wearing a b&s orange bus t-shirt! believe it cause it's true. i even bought a 7" and a button (they were quite cheap. i don't think the band knew about the sad state of the cdn dollar...) so everything about the aisler's set is great. that is that. they rock and are all cute and somehow are like wool sweaters that aren't so thick that you can't wear them year round. necessity. but then, i spent quite a few months a while back with 'the last match' in my walkman, so i have that bias... but screw bias - they're good! also in my walkman a lot was/is magnetic fields 'quickly made, gotta have this for bus trip now' tape. not a carefully compiled tape at all, just bits of albums. but that's okay with me and makes me happy. so i am happy to hear of people discovering stephin merritt and loving him in a flurry of capital letters and exclamation marks! now it is time to go be a completist on the issue! really, it just happens and there you are. but aren't new things sometimes just the greatest: my new stereo!!! oh, the joyful pain of pressing play on the cd player and realizing, as my eyes filled with tears, how much *better* everything sounded. like *everything*. the world. how could i have lived for eight long years with a sanyo ghettoblaster? criminal really. but though i was poor, i wasn't criminal, and i simply tolerated the situation... maybe i just didn't care enough. sad. but everything is beautiful now. right, so i saw "requiem for a dream", the new film by darren aronofsky (the "pi" guy). ooh, yeah. i couldn't shake it for a day and a half, felt twitchy and afraid, unsure, wondered if i was addicted to anything, etc. it's great. and great to look at too, with superclose-ups and split screens and awesome sound and things. there was an election here in canada. people won seats and things. someone asked me yesterday the age-old question: 'if you were in a tribute band, what band would you tribute?' (okay, i paraphrased that and made tribute into a verb, but hey, it's good.) so i don't know, i thought of a band i like that has been around for a while and said 'sonic youth?' and apparently that was not good enough for them b/c it was not cheese enough. i don't understand that logic b/c i saw (rather by accident really, no really) a neil young tribute band that was not taking their business cheesily at all. they were very serious. so anyway, now i'm all confused on the 'tribute band' vs 'cover band' issue. not that i'm losing any sleep over it. definitions are so very overrated. ah ha. for a number of reasons i like this mountain goats' lyric: "and the canterbury tales are gonna shoot up to the top of the bestseller's list... and i will love you again, like i used to." it's sad, but then i thought, hey, the c.tales is pretty raunchy material, so it's possible, with a little editing, for it to maybe one day get big like john grisham. or maybe grisham could rewrite it. oh. oh my. god. sorry. anyway, so this song is both sad and happy. and i like that. due to the whole thing i was talking about earlier. grey areas and things. plug me in plug me in, yours, robyn ===== I was reading the dictionary. I thought it was a poem about everything. ~Steven Wright ~~~ Robyn Fadden rfadden at yahoo.com Vancouver, BC __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

So I thought I'll kicked my belle and (king) sebastian bus down a gear as well and post, otherwise I'd become a lurker, and I don't want to be one of those I can tell you. Unfortunately no one ever sends me private e-mails so I can't reply to them publically, hence I can only manage one post today. I hope I'll still be a proper B&(k)S fan. Hmm I feel horrible today, last Monday I didn't get told off by my supervisor for doing no work for a change, and so what did I do after that, nothing! Which is the problem I have done absolutely nothing this week, no work, nothing, and now my whole weekend will be spent trying to do work, and failing, and I will once again be told off. What's worse, guess what, no one loves me, it's official. It's like the opposite of the B&(k)S song on Tigermilk, but not like the manics song, cos that's pants. Yes, I guess some things in the world never changes. I'm a bit tender and tired this week really, and no, not like the manics song, cos that's pants too. Too much work, too little time, too little smiles, too many boos, not enough booze. Before I make everyone sad, some happier things I guess, I have finally finished recording a song, which is a nice thing to happen, but the song is a bit sad, hmm... never mind. I better go and do work.

Ah!! to be an indie kid at the tender age of fifteen. I guess, technically speaking, i've only been an indie kid since i was eighteen and a half. and I'm no where close to being a hipster. my pants aren't nearly tight enough. . . and bed head doesn't work with my head of hair. . .and i don't work at OM (dream job, yeah). the movie made by the guy who did pi (which was dope)=> my friend told me today that it was possibly the best movie ever made=> i'll be going to see it. my anticon discs arrived by post today. the air is filled with the favoritest thing going right now. "Deep Puddle Dynamics was inspired by people who sit around all day at the mall with their mouth open." "Dose One's dad burned down the ROTC building while his roomate took a bullet." His son is just as hard-core, except in a "i like to chill with my cat" kind of way. he even likes eminen (it's written on his arm in a completely condesending and sarcastic manner.(editorial)) the song with dido is tight, though. and my name is when it was on underground hip-hop shows and not being played out to the upmost. it changes things for some reason. it really does. You won't hear anticon on the radio. GYBE is doing three shows in NYC next week!!! what was gogron talking about two posts ago? "i am alluding and rightfully so." you were, right? enlightenment, please. privately/publically Is looking forward to the day your girlfriend leaves to spend a year in italy the best way to go about breaking up? I didn't think so either. I'm not destructive and/or brave and/or whatever it takes to tell a girl that you don't like that much is. Maybe i'll luck out and she'll do it. Roommate troubles. Mine can't compare, but still. My roomate is Korean and is always singing something in Korean. There is this one song that sounds like A Whole New World: i hear it all the time and it sucks. The other day he stayed up till about 4 in the morning searching pornsights for an explicit video by a famous Korean singer, which amounts to him looking for a Mariah Carey finger fuck fest. . . . which, put in those terms. .doesn't sound quite bad. it was the mouse clicking. . .grr. I like him but not when i'm trying to sleep is the bottom line, i guess. props to lisa's picture on the picture page. the lisa with the glasses. (although, if my style was different, the other lisa picture, which was trashy in a good way, too,) I yearn for air popped popping corn, a little salt, and some hot dipping butter. phil r _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.

Message-ID: <13E8F1612660@mail1.mcc.ac.uk> howdee sinistereenies, it's been a long time we shouldn't have left you without a dope beat to step to. i've so much to tell you, but having just read through a million billion sinister posts, it all seems to have got lost along the way, but i'll try my bestest. i'm prolly going to paraphrase loads of people, but i can't remember who most of you are, so umm.. sorry in advance... ok, i'll start with the lovely jenowl, who fell over a lot. i fall over a lot too, i don't think i ever learnt to walk properly, or maybe i should just start tying my shoelaces, which, incidentally i haven't done for years. i fell down the stairs on a bus the other day, it was slippery and i ended up with my hands stretched out above my head, clinging to the rail while my feet dangled beneath me. it hurt. people stared. nevermind eh? lots of people wrote really long posts about stuff i wasn't interested in, props to them for being more cultured than me, but i skimmed and pressed delete a lot. some people talked about cats. a lot. please stop now, you're scaring me. raaaah. someone actually mentioned belle and sebastian, which got me to thinking, are we organising multiple voting for legal man, on john peel's festive fifty? i hope not. there are loads of records much more dserving. eg URUSEI YATSURA - LOUCHE 33. sorry, i'm a one girl urusei yatsura promotion machine. and still nobody like them *sniff* i know it's a while ago now, but, the auction, i can't wait to accompany dj pain to tigermilking, i'll make sure he does a good job of it. when is it btw? i won mr kenneth and his juggling skills, i'm going to make him do more than juggle hehehehe. with all this talk of eminem, i'm wondering whether to go and see him when he comes to the uk in february (well, i was wondering that anyway without reading the list, but i like to keep things relevant). i think it would be quite good to see him, but i'm a little afraid of the kind of clientele an eminem gig would attract. as a general rule i'm not a fan of kids with big trousers and chains. talking of clothing, i've recently taken to wearing skirts. during the day i mean, because it seems that everyone in the world is wearing flares and they're just not special anymore, so i seems to me that knee length skirts are the way to go. a little chilly, though, but you do dry out more quickly when its raining and a bus has just driven through a puddle right next to you. and sympathy to idleberry, i wasn't quite sure i understood what she was talking about in her last post, but it sounded bad, so hugs and stuff. i went to complain to my house agency yesterday that my room is damp, i was all ready to shout at them in a big way, (i even took boyfriend for moral support and nods of agreement) but the woman was all smiley and said they would send a man round. i don't suppose they'll do anything though. it'll probably be the same man that put up kitchen cupboards which fell off the wall after we put stuff in them. now, fiona's gratuitous piece of advertising : friday 8th december , the cellar (behind the university students union) plays host to manchester's newest indie night, indigo. it features the djing "talents" of your's truly and we'll be making some attempts to bridge the gap between mainstream and underground indie (its a big room, i don't think we could fill it just by playing yo la tengo and magnetic fields) so if anyone is even vaguely in the manchester area on friday, please come along, its only £3 / £2.50 nus (or £2 if you join my society) and it'll be students union bar prices all night. yey!! i'm going to have to go know, as its dark and i've only got a trakkie top to keep me warm on the long trek to the bus stop. oh, but hello to mr charlie who is a person on the sinister list that i went to primary school with. bizarre! i'll try not to leave it so long next time, love and irn-bru, fiona. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/worldofirnbru IRN-BRU!!! http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/wrappedinfakefur URUSEI YATSURA!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

After work, I chanced upon a new "Scrapbook" shop, which is dedicated to the tradition of memory preservation. I marched into the store and told them that I had a vision and that they must hire me immediately. They didn't hire me, but they will (someday). When they do, I'll play Lazy Line Painter Jane and Photo Jenny on repeat all day long. I met a girl Belle and Sebastian style. She mentioned that she liked B&S, and I became infatuated with her. I sent her a B&S postcard asking her on a date, and she replied and said that "anybody who likes Belle and Sebastian has got to be worth knowing". Happy happy happy happy...nothing more to say.

Oh Christmas twee!!!!!......... oooops!!.well...*cough* .......ehhhm...........: )) hewwo all!!! It is said that Christmas is approaching , or so I heard........Dunno really....... And someone told me that people usually make presents to each other during those days.........Is that true????? I mean, do nice people really make presents to their beloved ones and to other people they care for.....??? *sinister people nod yes* Well.this is like, GrAtE!! *Joan thinks* (yeah , she does that sometimes too) So people....... I guess.........(and correct me if I'm wrong) We're nice......yeah, we really are........and we certainly care for each other, even to an extend...and some of us might have their beloved ones on the list.........so.....seeing as we meet with all the above pressupositoins.....I think we're officialy qualified to exchange presents with each other........ Well, things are quite like that.....I got the whole idea inspired by the auction that was going on some time ago. I was truly amazed by all the wonderful things people offered to do so as to raise money at first place but, ultimately spreading some happiness over the world and bringing smiles on the faces of their fellow people...... On the other hand , I've come accross many list members lately,whose offerings were not bid for and some others, including me, that for various reasons didn't make it to bid for something........All this creativity and good will is not going to be received by anyone.....it's a shame really...... And then....I thought.....since the listees that offered to make something wouldn't get any money for this anyway , well....why not making something and giving it to someone else, but this time -getting- something back as well??? And seeing as the christmas holidays are almost hear, this would be a great time to carry out this presents exchange....this could actually be an Xmas presents Xchange (though not that crude as the name!!: )) Most people that have heard of this before, mainly on #sinister as well as my closest friends, my mum and our lovely list mum Honey, think its a great idea , so let me tell you the plan...... First and most important: Although this exchange is STRICKTLY going to occur between current list members, it is NOT compulsory for everyone. So, only those of you that are really interested in taking part should do so. And secondly: This is not restricted to just people that celebrate Christmas.....it just happens to help the spirit of exchanging presents....So other people that don't celebrate Christmas are very welcome!!! The proccess is as follows: You will have to send me an email to silmaril at stargate.gr with your : a) full address b) the email address with which you are registered to Sinister so that the verification will be carried out and on which you will receive your exchange partner c) the number of presents that you would like to make (you will see why) ......but this will have to be done by Wednesday, December 6th..so there's a time limit of 4 days to send me this email..... Your email address will be then put on a list from which the drowing will be carried out. It is going to be included as many times as the number of the presents you want to make is. That means taht in this way you are going to get as many presents as you give ....Cunning??: )) You will then receive the full address of the person you will make a present for on the email address you have given me.And here's the tricky part......the receiver doesn't get your address.....In the same wat you will get a present from someone else....a third listee to whom your address was given......so the presents' excange goes around the list like a chain ...... In this way you get to meet 2 people on the list instead of one, something that would happen if you received a present from the person you send to.....And this is the idea of it....it's not the actual presents, it's a chance to get to meet someone....to mess with fate's plans a little...who knows what friendships might come out of this?? In your envelope you may include your address as well , so that the other person is going to know who you are and contact you... As for the kind and value of presents that are going to be exchanged...many people asked me if they should be bought...The answer is NO. It's not compulsory for presents to be bought and/or expensive , although if someone wants, he/she can do it of course......The whole idea behind it is that the value of a present is not monetary, its sentimental and thats what makes it so special....the effort and amount of love and care you've put into it .Only then does a present become a bond between two people...... I saw so many wonderful things being described in the auction pages.......crocheting ,knitting and emroidering, making of tapes (which I suspect will be what the whole exchange will be revolving around), drawings, bead necklaces...let your creativity run wild!!!You may want to share witht he other the feelings that the reading of your favourite book brought to you, by sending him/her a copy, or the sheer pleasure of your favourite candy melting in the mouth, by sending a bag of it.....Just please try to bring yourself in the position of the receiver and....do your best.... .......it all comes down to good will in the end and the inexplicable happiness one may get from giving..... That is all for the moment.....Please feel free to join and , as misscrush says: "Let Love Flow!" All my love and sugar-coated snowlakes.....

Also, I'd like to ask if anyone else thinks one of the Waitresses in the 13th note looks a bit like Bjork, I mean, in a nice, qwite cute, way?

This message contains some foul language. But mostly towards the end. I really should have posted earlier, when I had a working scanner, and could've joined the foxy ranks of D. Parker, D. Bowie, and J. Peel/D. Moore on the photo pages. I should have posted when Steve C. wrote about girls liking bad boys, because I don't go necessarily for the bad ones, but always the inappropriate ones. Which is worse? Then again I'm probably more inappropriate than anything. I should have posted when I was sad to read that Mark C. signed himself fat and sad rather than the more optimistic big and gay, and when I was happy that Laura Llew said that smutty thing she said about butter and muffins. I should have posted when I came across a defintion of Twee (c. 1850) as: to "be in a twee," to be overcome with fear or vexation. Only I was just that. I also should have posted when people were talking about Tom Baker, because he wrote a book called "The Boy Who Kicked Pigs" and it rocks. As good as "Creepy Susie" by Angus Oblong, and in the same category, though not caliber, as Edward Gorey. Has anyone else read these? Pleasantly perverse. T.B. even calls himself "the ultimate Dr Who" in the author's notes. The illustrations have the best captions--as seen in my subject line. Speaking of vicars, I realized today, while listening to a song that I don't even have to name, that I only encounter vicars in a musical context. Other than taking people to one side, giving them confirmation, and occasionally sporting tutus I'm in the dark about what they really do. And rhyming with vicar we have wicker, specifically wicker people, appearing in at least 2 songs that I can think of, and I have an even foggier idea of what that means. Any enlightened person who can answer these queries may write to the address above. And now I'm going to talk about "fucking." What made me write now was reading Whosit's rant at the enter.ie page. Gerunds can be tricky. Instead of the context of the writer's (presumably derogatory) use of it as Belle and (Fucking) Sebastian I read it instead as an enthusiastic word of emphasis. Belle and Fucking Sebastian! Hell Yeah! Turn it up! Shout it from rooftops and moving vehicles. Scrawl it on a bathroom wall. Now that would be inappropriate AND bad. I've since been amusing myself far too much with inserting "fucking" into song titles. The wrong fucking girl. There's too much fucking love. Is it wicked not to fucking care? It makes everything sound so badass. I also giggle too much when people say "effing." I'd like to say something insightful about pop music, but maybe next time that will happen. The only things I can think of now are odd bits, about how David Gedge sort of looks like my landlord. And how there's a Gap ad with a Badly Drawn Boy soundtrack. And how the other day I caught a bit of a Britney Spears TV special, wherein her mic/backing tape kept cutting out mid-song and all I thought was "hmm that seems almost poignant somehow." Since July when I last wrote I got struck by lightning and got meningitis and almost got chickenpox and have been exceedingly grumpy and profane. It's all true. And I still fucking love Belle and Sebastian. Apologetically yours, xo Sarah _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.

Wazzup you sexy biznackers? all my friends do a biz nack er Biznacker is the word of the century. We all have Tamara, a lovely #sinister girly (who may or may not be on the list- I really don't know) for bringing it to my vocabulary. In fact, biznacker is the only noun I use anymore. So, today. Today, today! Biznacker. I hate biznackers. I decided to spend my biznacker at biznacker working on my term biznacker for biznacker. I hate my biznacker. I don't know why I ever to decided to go biznacker. It's full of biznackers who don't want to learn. And worse yet, I think I'm failing some of my biznackers. Erm. So. I got dressed up sexy as sexy can be for my Sunday Study Session. Outfit: 1) Black shoes from payless. Nothing terribly fashionable, but in the words of the fantastical meelkmaid, "you just can't wear brown shoes with those pants, honey." Which brings me to: 2) Black glittery super tight jeans for girls. They were a gift from someone. The crotch is a bit high (Jesus, I ask you now: protect my testicles, please) but my bum is emphasized by the fit so I'm willing to take a few, erm risk. 3) Yes, the robins egg blue cashmere turtleneck! Hi, my name is Sex, I'm here to study. I'm listening to a minidisc I made before coming out here with "Rhoda" on it. I like a fag with my Special K too. Wow Special K is so good. I didn't know they had it in the UK! Saturday was a big day for my family. My dad got a job! We've been staying in a shelter for the last three months so it will be nice to get out. I think we're going to get an apartment in Detroit. Yeah, I know, Detroit isn't the best city in the world, but it's a place of our own, you know? I'm pretty thrilled. I might get a CD player for Christmas, too! I'm hoping one day we'll get a computer so I don't have to use the stupid ones at school. Of course, now I don't have any motivation to keep my full scholarship here. Whatever. What do you all think of Hey Mercedes? I think they're great.

Has anyone heard that Pat Benetar is planning a carefully-timed comeback on the heels of the renewed public interest in her smash "Love Is A Battlefield"? My sources say it's back on the playlist of radio stations in some major cities. Pray she doesn't re-mix it though. Anyone else think the Police's "Don't Stand So Close To Me '92" or whatever, was a crime against humanity? That was the beginning of the end for Sting as we knew him. Do we all go soft when we get old? And I gotta lift my jaw off the floor long enough to comment on the resurgence of beautifully erotic "Body Parts" photos of late. I feel guilty even looking at them without giving my credit card number first. Gawd. They've got my man-thing all flustered. P.S. Keep them pouring in, kids. And I think this Gift Exchange thing is a neato idea, and I hope you are all registering with allspeed. We did a Sinister Santa Mixtape Exchange two years ago, and the tape I got still remains one of my favorites. Branching out to include all kinds of furry & complex homemade devices is a nice evolution. But no fruitcake, please. Gotta pee, ending this here.

It must be exciting for you to see a real republic in action, even if from a distance. As always, we're amused by your quaint belief that you're actually a world power. The sun never sets on the British Empire! Right-o, chum! However, we regretfully have to decline your offer for intervention. On the other hand, it would be amusing to see you try to enforce your new policy (for the 96.3 percent of you that seem to have forgotten that you have little to no real power). After much deliberation, we have decided to continue our tradition as the longest running democratic republic. It seems that switching to a monarchy is in fact considered a "backwards step" by the majority of the world. To help you rise from your current anachronistic status, we have compiled a series of helpful suggestions that we hope you adopt: 1. Realize that language is an organic structure, and that you aren't always correct in your pronunciation or spelling. Let's use your "aluminum" example. Sir Humphrey Davy (an Englishman) invented the name "aluminum" (note spelling) for the metal. However, in common usage the name evolved into "aluminium" to match the naming convention of other elements. In 1925, the United States decided to switch back to the original spelling and pronunciation of the word, at which point we dominated the aluminum industry. We'd also like to point out that the process of actually producing aluminum was developed by an American and a Frenchman (not an Englishman). However, we'd like to thank you for the Oxford English Dictionary. It's an interesting collection, considering that over 10,000 of the words in the original edition were submitted by a crazy American Civil War veteran named Dr. William Charles Minor. 2. Learn to distinguish the American and Canadian accents, and then we'll talk about the English and Australian accent issue. 3. Review your basic arithmetic (Hint 100 - 98.85 = 1.15 and 100 - 97.85 = 2.15). 4. If you want English actors as good guys, then make your own movies. Don't rely on us for your modern popular culture. We liked Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, Trainspotting, and The Full Monty. We've also heard good things about this Billy Elliot. But one good movie a year doesn't exactly make a cultural powerhouse. However, you're doing pretty well with music, so keep up the good work on that front. 5. It's inefficient to have a national anthem that changes its title whenever your monarch dies. Let's not forget that your national anthem has an extremely boring tune. We suggest switching to that "Rule Britannia" ditty, it's toe-tapping. Or maybe Elton John could adapt "Candle In the Wind" again for you guys. 6. Improve at your national sport. Football? Soccer? This just in: United States gets fourth place in men's soccer at the 2000 Summer Olympics. United Kingdom? Not even close. By the way, impressive showing at Euro 2000. You almost managed to get through the tournament without having your fans start an international incident. Hey, we've got more soccer moms, too. 7. Learn how to cook. England has some top-notch candy. Salt 'n' vinegar chips are quite yummy. However, there's a reason why the best food in your country is Indian or Chinese. Your contributions to the culinary arts are soggy beans and warm beer. Perhaps when you finally realize the French aren't the spawn of Satan they'll teach you how to cook. 8. You're doing a terrible job at understanding cars. The obvious error is that you drive on the wrong side of the road. A second problem is pricing, it's cheaper to buy a car in Belgium and ship it to England than to buy a car in England. On the other hand, we like Jaguars and Aston Martins. That's why we bought the companies. 9. We'll tell you who killed JFK when you apologize for Teletubbies. Thank you for your time. You can now return to watching bad Australian soap operas. P.S. Regarding WW2: You're welcome 'and thats all i have to say about that' 'till next time seeya pez* "I may not have been the greatest president but I've had the most fun in the last eight years." -- Bill Clinton to a roaring crowd on Wednesday _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.

Unfortunately, contrary to rumour, Tom Paulin himself didn't turn up (apparently he was having dinner with Gordon Brown), but Mrs Tom Paulin did, and seemed to enjoy herself. Thursday also saw the start of my meeting lots of listees, as I spent most of the evening with Mark Hester, and several of tompaulin are/have been on the list too. Friday was boring and spent getting over thursday, so we'll move swiftly on to Saturday, which was GRATE fun. We met up at the Spitz to see the gentle waves, but unfortunately there were no tickets left for Dr Sean and Mrs Dr Sean. Listees present consisted of myself and mrs carsmile, juicy lucy, ally96, chris mmmm brown, sally moore, miss vicky and mark cassarotto, who, i had great pleasure in finding out, is two months older than me, THE OLD BASTARD!!! ;) Bill Wells Trio were on first, with Stevie Jackson playing guitar and harmonica and singing a bit of falsetto. Frankly, they were a bit dull, in a jazzy kind of way, and also very very (very) quiet. There was actually a sign on the door telling people to turn their mobiles off, and conversations had to be whispered if you didn't want the whole room to hear. I think the highlight of the set was when a gentleman came on to the stage with a euphonium and i turned to chris and whispered "look, a great big horn!" which he found highly amusing... Now a statement that will no doubt receive howls of derision. "I thought the gentle waves were QUITE GOOD" there, i've said it, and i don't care what anyone else says. The jazzy numbers were particularly pleasing, although, well, her voice (bless it) does grate (and i mean grate, not GRATE, you understand) after half an hour. BLOODY SING A BIT LOUDER WOMAN, IT WON'T KILL YOU. Unfortunately, due to the lack of height of the stage, and the people standing in front of me, I'm unable to give you an arse update (new listees who do not understand this are advised to search for "isobel's arse" on the archives), although they did manage to get about 12 people on the stage at one point... Humourous conversation overheard as the band came on stage: person 1 "which one's stevie jackson then?" person 2 "um, i'm not sure, he'll be there somewhere" me (stepping in to avoid any further embarrassment, sotto voce) "he's standing behind you, dear" and another thing, Bill Wells *is* Steven Wells' brother isn't he? There's definitely a family resemblance, maybe that explains why swells doesn't like twee stuff, maybe Bill used to hit Steven over the head with tallulah gosh records when he was little, or something. By now the sinister posse had expanded to include the pinefox, trousers, xsophie and maria. After the set had finished, with what can only be described as a rousing commitments-style cover of "and the beat goes on", we all tootled off to the Garage for dancing and general mayhem with the strange fruit mob. After dmatt's fantastic sleeping exhibition at the last strange fruit, it was geoff's turn to delight us with a little drunken snooze. The bets are on for the next strange fruit, will it be rich or martin who conks out in a corner. Baxendale were guest djs and thrilled us with tracks from britney, betty boo, and, as we arrived "je suis un rock star" by bill wyman... There was much dancing by pretty much everyone named above, the pinefox being particularly energetic. Other listees present included my tapetree goddess cressida, adam and paul arathoooooooon and his mate, who didn't look like a justin (quick aside: I'm sorry justin, i can't remember your real name, due to advanced pissedness, but please mail me about what we were talking about if yr still up for it ;)). I'd also like to take this opportunity to say thank you to miss lucy for putting me up (putting up with me, more like) on Saturday night. well, i think that's enough from me for one day (I haven't even got on to sunday yet!!). A large crate of props to all of you who were out, and friendly beckoning gestures to anyone who feels like joining us next time (and humble apols to anyone i missed). xoxo CarsmileSteve +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

At least on Sinister we don't get the + four words of your own + 8 line sig line that you would find on a list like, say, Stephinsongs. Thank you Princess Honey!! Parkandride is also a nice list and it is moving into the missprint family like an annoying stepchild, if you like those Camera Obscura people or you like to hear Matt and Martin call each other names, I suggest you join. 2) Some Jason guy said (after Christiaan quoted Butterfly): >isn't that from that arcade game Dance Dance Revolution? I wonder if there >will ever be a belle and sebastian song in that game..........besides I perfer Drum Mania =) Oh no! A Belle & Sebastian song on Dance Dance Revolution (or the European equivalent "Dancing Stage" if you're not capable of comprehending two Dances at once) would be the equivalent of Have You Never Been Mellow! Like, 4 steps total in normal mode, 30 in Trick mode, and 846 in Maniac mode. I can picture the boys in Chinatown with baggy pants rocking out to String Bean Jean, although I have to say that Jason is correct in saying that Electronic Renaissance would probably be the most likely B&S song to grace the machine. It's no Stomp To My Beat though. Also, the fact that Jason likes Drum Mania better clearly shows that he's on crack. DDR is, has been, and always will be the raddest game in the arcade. It's even radder than Para Para Paradise. 3) Carsmile Steve said: >person 1 "which one's stevie jackson then?" >person 2 "um, i'm not sure, he'll be there somewhere" >me (stepping in to avoid any further embarrassment, sotto voce) "he's >standing behind you, dear" Which leads me to believe that Steve was NOT saving those anonymous people from impending embarrassment (akin to the sort of embarrassment one would encounter if one were in the presence of a band member and your mobile rang, playing a jaunty little midi-like Family Tree. This has been discussed before.) but was rather IMPERSONATING A BELLE & SEBASTIAN MEMBER. "Why, I'M Stevie Jackson." That's not nice, Steve, and you know it. It's much nicer to just pretend you KNOW Belle & Sebastian members, as so many people are good at. In fact, I'm beginning to think that if you live in Scotland, you are automatically acquainted with the band either through stalking or the chance encounter-in-the-next-bathroom-stall. Wee Carey knows the band through the latter, and I hear that a certain listee peed next to Stevie Jackson last night. Did he peek? He won't tell. 4) England is nice. That's why Marie Elia and I are going there on December 28th. We're staying at the world famous Mell Street hotel. I hear several other listees have made reservations there for New Year's Eve as well, so I guess I'll be seeing you then. My card reader told me I was going to have a wonderful New Year's Eve. I would have preferred some info with a little more consequence, but hey, who am I to argue. And that is all you have to put up with from me today. xoxo Julie +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Quite what this has got to do with the recent spate of good press for The Gentle Waves is anybody's guess, but there was more of it in the December issue of Mo-Jo Magazine, together with a Stuart Murdoch-pleasing AC/DC dossier. Alarmingly, Isobel talks about B&S in the PAST TENSE! Has she left to concentrate on The Gents' ? Have B&S split up? I do hope so, 'cos they've been really shit since Judy is a Dick Slap came out. I bet Mick McMick knows. Isobel claims Beyond the Sunrise is really really filthy. I hadn't noticed, despite regularly masturbating along to it*. Am I being smutty enough? We can't really count on Adrian Evans anymore, because he's up to his neck in nappies. Congratulations, Adrian and his Kate. Hey Junior, behave yourself! Thanks to Carsmile for the prompt and detailed report of The Gents's concert. You thought they were quite good, did you? What did everybody else think? What kind of dancing went on afterwards? Have you noticed that if you sing along to Panic by The Smiths, but change the word "panic" to "Pinefox", you get a nightmare vision of the future? Give it a try. Could life ever be sane again? At 44.99 the Rare Cult box set is too expensive, yet the one CD highlights collection is simply inadequate. I listened to Lloyd Cole and the Negatives on a foul germ-infested listening post the other day. What happened to Lloyd's lovely American accent? There was a nice song on it though, No More Love Songs or something. Take note, members of "tompaulin". You sad sack of arse bastards. Get a fucking life. Like me. I went on a bus this morning. I went past the legendary Nou Camp, where Jordi goes with his dad. I bet he doesn't pretend to be a cat when he's there. They'd have his guts for girdles. I've been to see Charlie's Angels. Be warned, no matter how close you sit to the screen, them knockers ain't getting no bigger. Peter * like the rest of you. Go on, admit it. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Pinefox on the beach, Pinefox making women gasp; something out of reach, Pinefox making one last grasp. Pinefox dancing wildly, arms and legs and hair; Pinefox walking idly, never quite without a care. Don't ask me what's going on, I only work here. You Popkids turn me on. I've been to London town, to see the queen. I glimpsed her sad eyes through the palace window, but in a moment she was gone, like so many romances. I was driven to Oxford (and almost round the proverbial bend) by a mad woman coach driver, who at one point leapt up from her position behind the wheel to scream "Does everyone know the MP Michael Foot? Look, there he is! Look, can you see him, there he is, can you see him!!?, told stories of recent coach deaths through NOT LISTENING TO THE DRIVER'S INSTRUCTIONS and other tales involving the Iraqi -not the Gulf-war. Interesting. I saw the band but not the poet and critic Tom()Paulin, who were lovely, and the band but not the sculptor and historian The Gentle (!) Waves, who were dull in all the right places and acceptable in the some of the wrong ones. "Ah yes, I recall the first time I encountered this type of salt, twas in 89, a day like no other, when the clouds seemed to smear the sky with nostalgia and the skunks..." What an aaaaaasshole. "Truth is often stranger than diction" - Emmitt Runding, 'Wit and it's relation to the unconciously boring', 1967. These words came to mind during the week when a waitress of a foreign persuasion seemed unable to grasp my need for condiments. It kills the grease. Acid can be so troubling, as any reader of Kelman knows. Come on McT! On Saturday I lost a lot of words. Some of them I gave away as cheaply as the hours, some of them I hope to retrieve at a future point in time. I only hope I can remember them in the meantime. Peter Miller asked for a review of Sodastream/Mistopher Chris from everyone who was there, and I think I was, although it's been a while and my mind is foggy. Maybe the doctor told me that I'd lost my memory, I can't remember. Anyway, Sodastream were rather nice, although I can't seem to get as emotional about them as certain other listees. Still, they played Hope Grocery which, in common with Katrina, is my favourite song. The highlight of course was witnessing the thrills n spills of a Leonardian performance. His throat is sore! He sings on! He's lost his plectrum! He's found it! Oh, it was in THERE... Wonderful. Later on I even found time to spit on David Moore whilst having an utterly pointless argument about the sentiments of Neil Young songs. I think we called it a draw. Sorry Dave. Peter may also be interested to know that those gorgeous Foxgloves are recording a new track. I shouldn't reveal too much for fear of breaking some kind of pact, but it has a line stolen from a song stolen from a poem. See if you can guess which one. Oh, and it needs more flutes. I'm sure it'll be a hit with the kids anyway. Alasdair xx _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.

Paraphrasing each verse, the story goes: Verse One: Joe hadn't had sex in a while and had quite a large supply of ejaculate. He was oh so lonely. Verse Two: He was about to lay down to another night of sleeping alone and a quick session before turning in. And then some chick showed up. Verse Three: "Taste. . my skin and. . . you will rise." Self explanatory. Verse Four: They knock boots until the sun comes up. The girl knows it's a one night stand and doesn't care. Verse Five: Joe thought that the whole thing could have been drunken reverie, but then the girl indicates that she is ready for another go.

Message-ID: <008301c05d96$b122cf60$1902a7d1@yesic.com> i havn't written since october... not that you lot really deserve my trenchant insight since radiohead was being discussed almost recently. how good is blake? he is great. he should join a nerd-trauma-intelligence band and send tim kinsella back to film school/semiotics class and then take over the wounded nerd subgenre. it would be so for real. i like to brush my teeth. it makes them feel all clean and good and yr breath doesn't smell like food but like menthol cigarettes and that is just so rad yes? and after all good manners and bad breath get you nowhere...right.... so i had this dream, where i found many articles in online journals which were exactly what i needed to write up this essay i'm writing for anthro class, then i had something to eat and went home from the library. at home i did some other things and then brushed my teeth. but then when i went to spit i still had this really dry icky stale toothpaste taste in my mouth. so i sucked up a whole batch of saliva and spat that out...and then at the moment of expectoration i woke up! few things are more terrifying than opening your eyes with your own spit suspended in air directly above your face just as it is about to start its downward descent. oh fearful spit parabola! why do i sleep on my back and dream liquid things! being like mcgyver I immediately thought of catching the airborne expectorate back in my mouth, but i only half got it, and this big blobby chunk of gross spit landed on my chin. it was a disgusting way of waking up. i work in a record store now. but i work in the classical section of a very large coproration recordstore. so its not quite the dream come true record store job. downstairs in the 'rock/alternative' section someone has drawn moustaches on all the plastic covers of swansong for you. isobel with a dali moustache? isobel with a hitler stache? mmmm...so appealing... and i didn't do it either. so when did papas fritas become adult contemporary? i'm sure someone will pull the bullshit 'band should try new things and not stay the same blah blah blah penis blah blah' move but i still don't think that means that a band is allowed to try being crappy for a while. thats not a good new thing to try. why are fall cds mastered from scratchy dirty vinyl? who's idea was that? did MES sell the master tapes for drinks? my aunt in vancouver died and i am completley unable to attend the funeral. which makes me mad. the problem with work and university bereavement policies is that they don't allow for people to have funerals at times which are merely inconvenient to you academically, instead of ones that directly interfere. if the funeral was on an exam day that would be one thing, but since its just before the beginning of exams i;d have to take time out of studying to go and would get no loving break from the university for grieving let alone the time it will take to get to allmighty fucking vancouver and back! its like i should pick up some drugs while i'm there and sell/do them to make some return on the whole sorry escapade since school would be fucked. fuck that shit. grrr fuck. aaarrrh when i wrote shit above it came out as this, a word which has all the same letters but is infact completey different. am i turning dyslexic? is it possible to so become? i got told off for playing scary 20th century music in the store and scarring the grannies today. its funny that being in the 20th century section isn't really contingent on when the composer was born, just whether or not its 'pretty' music or not. john rutter who is still alive is with the rest of the classical world, in behind resplighi and such but poor dead ugly morton feldman is off in the grotto of 'new music' where the middle aged can safely avoid ever having to even gaze on his very quiet records ever. grrr. if they're going to make the distinction between scary and not scary music then they should get rid of the bogus classification by centuries thing and get on with it. maybe they could just have a 'music we all dislike except for steven and those composition students' section. that would be ok, at least then the bias would be out in the open, instead of concealed in hateful lying language and bogus historical categorisation. my wittgenstein professor has some really interesting dreams...his most recent one went like this. there were aliens (this is just a fact, they weren't actually visible to him) and they were surrounding him, so he had to reach for this object. he then fell out of bed and hit his face on the corner of his dresser. he has this big cut on his face. another night his wife also told him that he had been very loudly talking in his sleep about saving an old art deco restaurant from demolition with former toronto mayor john sewell. really its his wife i pity in all this the most. by the way, if anyone wants to help me understand later wittgenstein's thought (PI, brown and blue books and On Certainty) with an eye towards what would make a good/useful essay...and if you can work Mikail Bahktin into it too, that would be so rad. just give me a thesis or at least some kind of encouragement and i'll do all the rest. this is a really urgent appeal, if you know anything at all about ol ludwig other than the saucy gay bits that happened at night in parks in vienna (which just aren't useful to me right now) please really really help me out with this oK? lisa morrison and chris lampien would be a nice couple no? they could be smutty at eachother and evey so often they could get someone in to clean their fluids off the walls. she also mentioned bikini kill like she was the only person who has any punk action spirit at all. i say: fuck no! i've been rocking the sartorially natty secret language speaking/bomb throwing/schedule wrecking and public necking NOU life-style since highschool and there's no sign of me stopping ever. Even if the mighty nation has disbanded into more mobile (upward) and less effective units i still hold the true fire aloft! i refuse, no matter how good the make up get, to ever think of them as even slightly better. grrr. (i think bikini kill is a good way of getting to mention the NOU, esp since no one ever ever ever mentions the other greatest entertainer of the nineties ODB on the list anymore, why?)...so yes. i just felt the need, during this my panicked essays and exam time to assert my hardcoreness. arrrr. sorry about this all, s t e v e n +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

BTW DDR 4th mix can't be beat (get it hehe) I just realized how OT this really is...for a ML about a quaint little Scottish band we start talking about video games who's soundtracks come from either mega dance hits or weird little Japanese bands (L'ark~en~ciel is the greatest!!!!). sorry if this bothered anyone. video update: we are done shooting "The State I Am In" (for those of you who don't remember I produced a short film for school who's story is partially based on the song we all know and love). Post production (editing) begins tomorrow. in case you cared Ja Ne (or to non-Japanese speakers; 'later') Jason - we got heads on sticks - Radiohead Kid A +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Beeandess elpee. has anyone noticed what a shoddy rhyme there is in me and the major where stu rhymes army with army? that's almost ozzy osbourne like in terms of rhyming badness...like rhyming iron man with iron man or dead with dead. i've also been listening to lots of the flying lizards of late, because their first album is actually amazing and about communism and such and isn't at all the stupid novelty record everyone likes to think it is. (thanks leslie) perhaps the only band i could imagine could would do a better cover of a bertold brecht song would be the late lamented gender-math-panic superstars the crainium, but i don't think they did one. which is too bad. i'd love to have heard james screech out pirate jenny or something else with lots of gore. mmm. robyn mentioned our nice little canadian election. also a while before that genevieve mentioned having a crush on conservative underdog-boy-we-sure-miss-you-old-tories-now-that-the-alberta-nazi-party-see ms-to-be-important-now-please-come-back-even-though-i-used-to-hate-your-guts -so-much leader joe clark. i think his 'man-sized' hands were specificially an issue. i found that most girls i knew felt strangely turned on by joe 'the turkey' clark, something about him seeming smart and having nice glasses, not that they'd ever vote conservative or anything...and did anyone see his daughter on tv? woo. ok enough... breakfast. s t e v e n +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

BUY AUGIE MARCH RECORDS. this cannot be over emphasized. a truly remarkable four piece out of Australia. They are the most remarkable band I've heard in a long, long time. They just released their first full-length, Sunset Studies. listening to "sunset studies" over the weekend was undeniably the most profound album-listening experience of my life. i've just listened to my "sgt. peppers," "ziggy stardust," "the wall," "ok computer," etc, etc, etc. i was, and remain, completely blown away by what this band has been able to accomplish. augie march have, in 15 songs, if not ruined, seriously contaminated my enthusiasm for other contemporary pop bands that i harbor well publicized enthusiasm for. those bands simply won't be the same after having heard this album. i don't know how to describe it. the melodies are brilliant, wonderfully constructed. their beauty is remarkable, and simple, which belies the complicated instrumentations, timings, tunings, arrangements, etc. which make these songs and this album a monument to pop songwriting. the harmonies are as unexpected, complex and perfect as anything brian wilson has ever done. The vocals evoke a less jazz-improvizational, more sweet (if possible) Jeff Buckley. These songs are among the most atmospheric I've ever heard. Only Grant Lee Buffalo comes to mind as a band as capable of creating an authentic emotional atmosphere that you don't so much believe in as you are transported into. Everything about these songs is orignal and creative, but never simply for the sake of creativity. Every unusual--totally original-- choice they have made has only added to the overall strength of THE SONG, something unfortunately lacking in many contemporary pop groups. In my opinion, Augie Mar! ch have stepped absolutely into the foreground of pop songwriting, nearly if not completely peerless. "Sunset Studies" is a remarkable acheivement. So go buy it. Anyone who can back me up on this, step to the mike. 2. Didn't much care for "Fold Your Hands Child..." 3....but rediscovered Looper, especially "Dave the Moon Man." Also rediscovered Bowie's "Scary Monsters," The The (all of it), early REM, and the Jam. And never fell off my Gene, and Mason Jennings wagons. His new album is stunning, find it and buy it second. 4. Saw a bunch of crap movies and a couple of good ones, especially Dancer in the Dark. 5. Got screwed out of fall. I live in Kansas City, where fall is the most beautiful time of year. It went from being 80 to 40. I'm still pissed about it. 6. SWM in search of good mixed tapes, possible relationship. I'll be sure to return one, and offer my personal guarantee it will contain songs by Augie March, Grant Lee Buffalo, the Lucksmiths, The The, The Smiths, Moose, Hefner, Jeff Buckley and the late great Paul Robeson. Pop's my taste, i'd love to taste yours. Interested, email me at jbaze at beap.com 7. Anyone out there a fan of either Jim Daniels or Thomas Lux? 8. Top Ten Things I Can't Stop Listening To Lately: --Augie March, Sunset Studies --PJ Harvey, Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea --Gene, Rising For Sunset --Hefner, We Love The City --Bjork, Selmasongs --Grant Lee Phillips, Ladies Love Oracle --Mason Jennings, Birds Flying Away --Augie March, Waltz e.p. --Grant Lee Buffalo, Copperopolis --The The, Nakedself all these words, one scant mention of belle and sebastian. Hope all is well, cyber-friends and strangers. Be good.

And while I will never see her again, I love them dearly and in effect am reminded of her each time I take an earful of their tunes.(not the main reason, just a nice side effect) The first song I ever heard was "Judy and Her Dream of Horses". _____________________________________________________________________ so here I am.

I'm terrible weighed down with papers and projects. But I'm not stressed out. I was sitting at my desk, listening to a little B&S. Like an academic angel, Stuarts voice sang to me, "put down your pen, leave your worried behind, then the moment will come, and the memory will shine." SO I threw down my books, grabbed my discman, and went for a walk...its was either that or a valium pill :). I ended up at an old mansion, that overlooks the hudson river. I just sat on the hill, with Sigur Ros playing, smoking a pink cigarette (I always color cordinate my smokes with my clothes), and I realized that I am happy. It wasn't just a fleeting moment, or induced by my fairytale. It was long term, haven't felt the bad burning in the chest, pit of the stomach feeling in longer than I can remember happiness. So I cried (it wasn't the usually cry that I have EVERY time I listen to Sigur) about being happy, and all the time I spent sad. And because I know that I will always either be in a time or happy or sad, and I don't mind. Because I like the rollercoster. So, I came home and wrote my parent (with a pink pen) to tell them that the semester is going well. And I wrote you (for my first time, thanks for being so nice) to tell you that I think that Sleep the Clock Around is a really smart song. *Martha* ----- End forwarded message ----- +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I have to heartily thank ken for introducing me to redbull. This past sunday was the Newbury Comics Holiday party. Newbury comics despite it's name is a indie chain (yes, that's possible) of record stores in Massachusetts, Maine, NewHampshire, and Rhode ISland. Iworked there full time when I had just gotten out of school. Now I work there partime. Anyways. It's a raucous excuse to get heavily inebriated. Anyone who's worked retail will understand the need....As if excuse was needed. but prior to venturing to the soiree. I found myself at a friends flat (i'm not trying to be euro. it's just less letters to type then apartment) and at said flat, they were concocting (get yer mind back in the gutter LisaM.) Redbull and Vodka. I have to say. it was quite a heavenly little beverage. A little too sweet but it really neutalizes the vodka's bitterness but not effect. my oh my. quite a night ensued. What I remember of it. I may have even danced. at that really goes against my bad-ass indie-rawk self. so cheers to ken and i'd recommend redbull and vodka for those looking to mix a bit out of the ordinary. +++++alledged content+++++++ there was a girl at the party who was a dead ringer for isobel. yep. it wasn't her. She actually had a horrible braintree accent but she DID look like isobel. hope all is okay in your worlds. jb _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.

I'm felling a little emo so watch out... my name is anthony, as you may have guessed from my email addy, and I love B&S. This is vaguely an anomaly in my record collection, which is full of abrasive, harsh, difficult music (like merzbow and kid606), and a lot of appocalyptic metal. But i have a soft side too, and it includes B&S and my inability to look at a Totoro with out making goofy little "oh my, isn't that cute" noises. my favorite B&S records are TBWTAS and FYHCYWLAP... shockingly i can't get into If Your Feeling Sinister all that much, it's good, but not the mindblowing "i think i'm gonna cry" kind of good that TBWTAS and especially FYHCYWLAP overflow with. I tend to walk around the NYC subways singing "baaah bah-bah-baaah baaah bah-bah bah-bah baaah bah-bah bah-bah baaaah" to the tune of legal man. I am feeling old because I turn 24 in 3 weeks, and am very frustrated that i still live with my folks. And since my potential roommates just bowed out of moving out too, i may have to get a ridiculously expensive place by myself, or be doomed to continue comuting 2 hours each way to work every day. argh. i am single and kinda lonely, but figure it's better than still being with the girl i was dating, who was very nice and pretty, but had fundamentally different world views on somethings, making it hard for us to see eye to eye on some important things. Oh well. er, um, anyhow... that's enough for a first message i guess. meow to the cats on the list. :) nice to meet you, Anthony __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Drink me. Message-ID: Dear Sinister folk, The Holiday exchange sounds like a very warm-naked-under-the-silky-sheets-wrapped-in-a-pink-pashmina idea. I am sure we are all going to make some lovely presents. Last year I spent lots of money on people who said 'I'm getting you a Christmas present! You better get me one back!' Sigh sigh sigh...isn't the whole purpose of giving not expecting anything back? But this year, I am poor, so it doesn't matter anyways. Only special people are getting. One girl for sure is. In the hall she started reading me this Pablo Neruda poem "round woman's body, I ache for you" something like that. So we are exchanging some poetry books. But what book should I get her? That's why I like Sinister, little gifts, little is good. I'm going to make something, but I don't know what,(unlike most of this gifted organization I cannot sew or knit or crochet) but you will love it. I wish I had taken part in the auction now, I could have volunteered to do a Cabaret chair-dance, but you know I'd probably pay the people to LET me do it for them, I love so much! Maybe we should all chip in and buy Precious Honey a set of PEARL NECKLACES. Honey, didn't you know? Pearls are very in right now. Do you know this poem, something about What It Would Be Like To Make Love To Angels? I don't know if thats even the title, but it's the subject. I remember reading it a while ago, maybe on here, somewhere. Something about their little wings singeing? If you know it, please email me, it's driving me nuts. ok, that is all... teeth marks and a luscious mouth, genevieve _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.

I guess deep breaths and imagining the people I'm worried by on the toilet would be my usual source of advice. Can't remeber where it came from, but I guess it always works, just because I have an infantile sense of humour and chortle at the word toilet. However, since it's hard to do that by creating a mental image by a person's e-mail or from whatever body part they've posted on the missprint site, a bashful smile will have to do the trick. Ash are supposed to be coming to my fair town on thursday. I don't like them very much at all, but will trot along for the novelty of it. The novelty being that Ilkley is more famed for it's medium sized hill of 'Ilkley Moor B'aht at' fame and Richard Whitely living here than for anything else. I had my photo taken with him when I was younger. But that was before he had achieved true cult status as the jovial mr countdown. Like indie snobs who were there at the first gig, with the limited edition first single, I feel I can claim 'I was a fan before he sold out, and his earlier work was so much less comercialised. Back then he did it for the words, now it's just money,money,money. I think belle and sebastian would do a very good version of 'Ilkley moor B'aht 'at'. It has that folky element along with a touch of gritty reality, as it delves into life after death, when, indeed, 'worms will come and eat thee up'. Moving stuff indeed. Mind you, the rest of the list may be unaware of the existence of the song. It's hard to tell whether it's a local song for local people or something embraced by a larger audience. If it's a nationwide thing I wonder if people realise they're singing about a medium sized hill boasting a rock which is supposedly shaped like a cow and a few burnt out cars. hmm. And I was meant to be seeing At The Drive In tonight, but I misjudged ticket sales. And they all disappeared. I have the vague feeling I should have raised some enthusiasm and should have attempted dodgy dealings with a tout. Only I'm not very good at the old haggling-lark. I guess touts would probably have a better name for it than the haggling lark. Something more gutteral and that conveyed the message that anything under �25 would be a ridiculous price for any of their rather splendid tickets. Again, rather splendid is arguably not the appropriate vocabulary. I'll stop there, having only had a little content, but then I like reading ramblings a lot, and the band aren't doing much content themselves so maybe I'm forgive. Ooh, and the christmas presents idea sounds lovely. i don't usually like christmas, apart from the lights, but the gift swapping sounds very festive. cheerio for now, Grace ---------------------------------------------------------------------- And she spent the rest of the day separating the bits from the marmalade, or, if you prefer, the marmalade from the bits. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.

Message-ID: hello left handers something occurred to me whilst reading Anthony Saunders' mail everybody's favorite belle and seb record seems to be the one they heard first. personally i consider '...feeling sinister' as *my* album as no one else i knew had heard of b&s when i got hold of it and it got me through my gcse exams (i went through a phase of listening to it every night on my walkman and wore the tape out and had to get the cd) the two latest albums didn't really *do* it for me, if you know what i mean, but i adore tigermilk coz a friend bought it fo my for my birthday this year, on vinyl too, i suppose b&s records hold sentimental value for me more than other bands, they're not my favorite band in the world (well, equal 2nd and definately in my top 5) but i love them for different reasons to other bands and they are very, very special to me. did this ramble have a point? mail me if yiu can figure one out. don't you think 'i fought in a war is just so incredibly sad? people always ask me why i listen to melancholy, down music but i find it all amazingly uplifting and it helps me get through when shit is getting *me* down so i suppose it all goes round in circles. i think i'll give 'fold your hands...' another go and learn to love it. incedentally 'fold your hands...' reminds me of charles de gaulle airport in paris where i had a 2 hour wait between planes on my way to barcelona last month and i listened to FYHCYWLIP whilst sitting in the departure lounge and it'll forever remind me of that. CDG airport is the one on the front of the new U2 album. someone mentioned customising badges from boring crap to something you can wear, i took this on board today and changed a badge i had picked up a a lo fidelity allstars/regular fries gig with 'sneaker beaters' written on it and stuck on with sellotape the words 'on the leeds side-streets that you slip down,' this is for my aforementioned friend, cathy, who has moved to leeds for uni so i think it's kinda appropriate. on our way to the leeds festival this year cathy (how come cathy and leeds are recurring themes her?) and me saw some cows on a hillside so she sand 'punctured cows, on a hillside desolate' and we spent the rest of the journey singing smiths songs but changing vital bits to the word cow, it's grate fun, you should try it. cow in a coma if a double decker cow, kills the both of us reel around the cow this charming cow see? hours of fun bit tired now think i'll go to bed see ya cats of all ages pez* _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.

Ever since Peter Miller and his comment about knockers. I still don't know how I manage to make my way into your posts, Peter. I feel as though I am part of history. Or at least something really amusing. My aim is to make this post as short and sweet as the piano bit at the end of Judy Is a Dick Slap. I love that ending. It makes me think of a warm winter day inside, wrapped up in the steam from the radiator, time moving by at just a few frames per second, reading a book in a big armchair. And Felt. I adore Winter the way most people seem to adore Summer. The great big coats, the crystalline snowy nights, trudging about breathing hot vapor like a steam vent, sitting by a crackling fire. And most of all, the snow drifting out of the sky. The effect is best where lights jut into the sky and illuminate the flakes closest to them, such as in a parking lot. There is something about the chill air that seems to clarify everything, just as hazy summer days seem to sap my energy. I love the first day of Fall that you can feel a cool breeze. I live for that day year-round. An odd thing I noticed the other day. It's about the Jeepster Discussion Boards. It's sort of a strange phenomenon, I wonder if I ought not to bring it up. It may unsettle you all. Well, the thing is, there are places where people actually...discussbelleandsebastian....there I've said it. You can't take something like that back. It's all a bit strange, and yet oddly familiar. Alright I think I drove that home enough. I wouldn't have it any other way, I enjoy reading about trying to increase the size of movie stars' knockers and having a moment by the Hudson River too much to have another way. It's just sort of interesting to note how tangentially we really talk about B&S. So Lisa Morrisson was saying something of how she felt she was the only listee who could bridge the gap between hard and soft like some latterday musical Colossus of Rhodes (not to be confused with a large electric organ). Hum hum hum, but I happen to have been thinking about this a bit lately, having made the acquaintance of someone to whom B&S is far too soft. But I think the hard/soft argument is seeing things too black and white when music is all about the shades of grey. Sure, maybe someone might be able to simultaneously like soft and hard music, but can they deal with anything with a dance beat? That's instrumental? That involves shakers or the word "samba" repeeatedly? I rest my case, however shakily. My e-mail program has taken upon itself to rate e-mails on a basis of how many virtual chili peppers they contain. This post, believe it or not, for all its mundanity, contains no less than three small red chili peppers. When I try to send it my e-mail program warns me that it may cause me to have to wash my mouth out with soap. To put things in perspective, Peter Miller, Lisa and Chrstiaan Chris Lampinen all had some three-pepper posts. But other than that they seem pretty rare, at least in my inbox. And initially this surprised me because this post really isn't that smutty. But then I looked back up there. I guess without intending to do so, I've touched upon the subjects (figuratively of course) of knockers, dick slaps and most importantly, the wide world of electric organs. If I were in #sinister maybe I'd get a tart point. I would be remiss if I didn't mention how much my week has been improved by purchasing the new Clientele and Stars CDs. They stand by my side at work every day, battling ennui. Mmm, I probably had more things to say but to do so would risk seeming even the slightest bit short and sweet, so I will pretend like I meant to stop right here. -- Brian Pennington, aka Mick McMick | cellophanesky at mac.com | ICQ# 39021436 Sandcastle Records: the Cellophane Sky: "Better a tear of truth than smiling lies." - Duncan Browne +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Hmm I haven't posted for a while until suddenly when my life starts to get really overwhelmed with work and I don't have much time for posting, I'm posting like, loads! It is surely the "Freetime/ Sinister posting inverse phenomenon".. At least I'm now a true B&(k)S fan. I am very glad that Jeff has discovered the delights of the Vodka and Red Bull. Yes oh how the Red Bull complements the Vodka so well, sweet on bitter, bitter on sweet, the coma of vodka is what the Red Bull energy meets. Oh Vodka and Red Bull you make me feel so right, oh Vodka and Red Bull you make me stay up all night, where in the world is there a prettier sight, than the sight of the Red Bull with Vodka spiked. There was an advisory poster in my University hall saying that when you go out to this vodka and red bull night, you have to beware of your drinks being spiked because there had been incidences where things went really wrong, but I can imagine all these people now going "Oh noooooo! My Red Bull is spiked with vodka!" Hehe that'd be (not that) funny really. You know how Red Bull keeps you awake and away from bed, if you turn the initial letters of the word Red Bulls around, you get "Bed Rules!", which is almost Red Bull backwards in meaning and in spelling. Grate, huh? I can't claim credits for this remarkable discovery tho because it was found by the lovely yogurt eater in the park Joan of Dark who now gets the full marks. Red Bulls also make you dance all night, and what better way to dance than in a radical, revolutionary style known as Dance Dance Revolution style? There has been talks about what B&S songs to be made into a DDR dance routine, well, what can be better than "Like Dylan in the Movies", apart from being a class song it also has a bit where it stops, offbeats and guitar solo(ette)s. However to be honest what really should happen is for a DDR B&S Mix to be created, with all your favourite B&S tunes on it, that'd be G!R!A!T!E and it'd be soooo much money because I'll be on it like, all day. Ooo ooo guess what I'm doing tonight? I'm seeing T E R R O R V I S I O N! Oh yes and they're going to be GRATE! Woohoo :-))))) Vodka dances and Red Bulls!

He emerged from his specially-sealed time capsule in the year 1996 to warble: "Pinefox on the beach, pinefox making women gasp". And we wondered to ourselves : what could the Pinefox possibly have been up to? We can only imagine it refers to the sight of the Pinefox in Shorts that graced Camber Sands earlier this year. There is possibly evidence of this on Mr CarslimeÂ’s picture page. Yes, ladies, he IS still available. B/ Bow, Shiva take a, Shiva take a The strangest bit of actual content has come to our attention. Older readers may remember Sushil Dade, who was once a Soup Dragon and is now a driving instructor and a Future Pilot. His new cd, on Big Steve PastelÂ’s new label, is a charming mixture of Glaswegian geetar classicism and Indian devotional music, and blow us if that isnÂ’t Mad Dog Murdoch, on a track that translates as ‘Bow down to Shiva", chanting away like George Harrison in his prime for over ten minutes! And thatÂ’s not all, cos C/ Content (continued) Isobel is on there too, crooning along with Katrina Mitchell and Mrs Future Pilot. ItÂ’s all very lovely. ThereÂ’s even a track featuring what sounds like Aunt Sadie belting out "Beautiful Dreamer". We suggest you investigate, forthwith. D/ Dr Who Sarah Garret Sonner crashlanded into our list of top ten posters the other day. Among other things she mentioned how Tom Baker refers to himself as "the ultimate Dr Who", which is peculiar as we had the misfortune to hear Jon PertweeÂ’s Christmas single recently, and he also refers to himself as the ultimate Doctor. They canÂ’t both be right. We personally side with Pertwee, not only for his dandyism, but also because his surname suggests he is both pert and twee, a combination we find irresistable. E-F/ Examine Foxgloves Hoo hoo! If youÂ’re a lumberjack at a loose end, why not pop along to www.chickfactor.com where the photographs of Queen Gail OÂ’Hara are currently appearing in a ghostly fashion. If you get three pictures of Foxgloves 1 in a row, apparently, you win an evening out for two in the Muji store of your choice. G/ Gorey, Edward Sarah GS also mentioned Edward Gorey, a couple of whose books are being republished for the festive market and would make ideal stocking-fillers for the morbid fantasist in your life. We recently discovered that Mr Gorey roomed at college with the happy-go-lucky New York poet Frank OÂ’Hara, a notion which boggles our poor noggins. H/ Hewitt, Stephen mentioned the cover version the Genteel Daves did at the close of their set the other day. Supposedly called "and the beat goes on" – the one goes that goes "la da dee da da, la dee dee dee dee" that isnÂ’t that one about the homeless lady. Somebody, possibly Mark Casarotto, claimed that this was a Sonny and Cher b-side, but this sounds dubious to us. Who can put us right? I/ Isobel Campbell Words cannot properly express how impressed we were with the Mental Lathes the other night. The arrangements were all lovely and Isobel sang very nicely, and well we were quite charmed by the whole thing. One point of contention, however: with her new longer hair, does Ms Campbell still qualify as a "gamine"? And how does one define a gamine, anyway? Elucidation, please. J/ Jackson, Stevie As Julie coyly hinted the other day, we also had the pleasure of sharing a urinal trough with Stevie J that night. We didnÂ’t peek. But we think that he might have. K/ Kado, Steve said "by the way, if anyone wants to help me understand later wittgenstein's thought with an eye towards what would make a good/useful essay...and if you can work Mikail Bahktin into it too, that would be so rad." The world, mused Ludwig, is all that the case is Mikail thought this a discouraging basis Preferring the charms of the dialogical, The carnivalesque and the scatalogical. L/ Love, Oscar from our Dublin brother magazine, Blather, kindly donated that last poem. M/ Miller, Peter mentioned the film of CharlieÂ’s Angels, which is quite entertaining, and makes one want to learn kung fu, and answers the question of what Crispin Glover is up to these days. Strangely, it is a rare example of a pretty good film in which Bill Murrary is pretty bad, when the opposite is usually the case. We give it 7/10. Only two films have scored better this year. We will leave you to speculate what they were. N/ Nou Camp Peter also advised Jordi not to pretend to be a cat in the Nou Camp stadium.

Bravo. S/ Select magazine is dead, apparently. We shed a quiet tear. It has been terrible for ages, of course, but of all the UK music mags it had seemed to be nicest about B&S. And of course it did that 5-page feature on 200 hundred troubled teenagers a couple of years ago, and featured an interview with the dear departed Duke of Harringay.

Does anyone else remember when the Sheepster staff were leading the fight against the great Satan that is the evil XFM corporation, way back when? Or did we dream it?

Experience . Godspeed . ! Message-ID: <6f.dfd0e06.275fb62c@aol.com> Hello Sinister, I just woke up from a wonderful sleep, and a wonderful sleep it was indeed....i dream of no other but Struan! Oh yes my dear sinister boys and girls, it was such a lovely dream...I dreamt that they came to NY and played a concert at the Bowery Ballroom (I think I dreamt that since I was talking about it with my friend at the venue last night). Then I dreamt that I got to meet Struan through a friend...and he was so nice, he even came to my house to cook some soup! The whole time I was with him, I was going on about how much I loved him and his music and how much B&S meant to me, etc., Struan just smiled and hugged me and said thank you, I'm glad we have fans like you. It was *so* nice, it was actually my very first full length dream about B&S, I am extremely happy...I suppose all that talk of them last night worked out! Last night, I went and saw godseed you black emperor!, and wow, what a show it was. I never heard any of their stuff, but quite a few of my friends told me to go, and that I would really like them since I like Mogwai so much. Halfway through the first song, I was just in awe.....oh how beautiful it was. And their performance, 9 people on a small stage playing under red lights....it seemed so eerie but so very passionate. The whole time they were playing I was in love, I was in love with them on stage....with the boy with the asthma inhaler in front of me....with the girl who kept dancing next to me....and most of all my friend Chris for pretty much getting to go to the concert. I was supposed to leave at 11:00 to get home by 12:15, but I decided to stay until 12, to get home by 1:15. So, as I stayed and watched more of godspeed..and the show came to an end, it was 11:55 when I ran and got my coat then went back up to see the encore. I promised myself I would leave at 12:03 to give me half hour to get to Penn Station just in case, but after they came on, that 12:03 lead to 12:08 which lead to 12:10. Sadly, in the middle of their encore I decided that I really should go since, the next train after 12:30 was 1:46. So, I ran down to the train station to find that.....there were no trains going uptown, I needed to take a train downtown 3 stops and transfer there. This of course made me miss my train, which I was not at all thrilled about. When I got to Penn Station I went and put some money in my metro card, for the next time that I go use the subway. On my way to put more money in, I saw this guy that I met just about a year ago at his high school dance. We met off the net, and since we were the same age and both went to school relatively close, we decided to meet up at his school dance. So, we did...but we didn't really talk much after that. So there I was in Penn Station all alone at 1am in the morning without a thing to do for 45 minutes. I made myself brave enough to go up to him and say hi, and I did...and it was really nice to talk to him. We ended up taking the same train halfway home, and we got to talk about Belle & Sebastian and all sorts of indie bands we've seen in the past few months. I was extremely happy to have had the courage to go and speak to him. Finally, the stop came for us to go our separate ways, and we simply said bye to one another. I ended up getting home at 2:20 and went straight to bed since I was so very tired. So, here I am writing to you, before I run off to school....my I don't think I could be any happier right now and wow, it has been quite awhile that I've felt the way I do right now. Now, all you wonderful sinister boys and girls with impeccable taste, go see godspeed you black emperor! The moment you have the chance. They are truly something wonderful that everyone deserves to go experience. -Melissa +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <20001206.111301.-4108533.0.GELFLINGAG@juno.com> D/ Dr Who Sarah Garret Sonner crashlanded into our list of top ten posters the other day. Among other things she mentioned how Tom Baker refers to himself as "the ultimate Dr Who", which is peculiar as we had the misfortune to hear Jon Pertwee�s Christmas single recently, and he also refers to himself as the ultimate Doctor. They can�t both be right. We personally side with Pertwee, not only for his dandyism, but also because his surname suggests he is both pert and twee, a combination we find irresistible. hogwash i say! bullock.! we all know that tom baker is the king of all DR.'s his cunning portrail of dr. who with all his wittiness and talk of sonic screw drivers!(that thing has gotten ol' tom out of many a jams!)and im still not sure how that thing works. his frizzy hair and multicolored scarf and hat. you cant forget the hat. come on. hes been in way more episodes the pertwee. four years in fact. more run ins with cybermen, daleks, and giant city stomping robots. when you think "Dr. Who" you dont think oh of course Mr. Jon Pertwee! you think Tom Baker, the fourth and greatest Dr. of them all! i see your game you rouge! trying to win us over with your talk of pert and twee! haha. not i. i wont be so easily subdued like a hindu cow. anyway, "you were waitress in a cocktail bar, when i met you. i picked you out i shook you up i turned you around. turned you into someone new now five years later on youve got the world at your feet success has been so easy for you well dont forget it was me who put you where you are now and i can put you back down too........" -HL sun is up hanging right in my eyes its illustrious beams of light. having tried to avoid her beaming stare. she makes me feel so strange. trees bare if not all then some of their naked branches. soft frost accumulates upon my rear view mirror and i say to my chum, "lets drive to hammonton!" and on this particularly long drive to hammonton, i managed to doze off in the vans "lacking lumbar support" seat. and in this dozing, i managed to conjure up a vivid dream. a dream of large spiders bumbling bout my hair and finger tips. the voice of my chum calls out', "joe, you have spiders in your hair!!!" my chum being deathly afraid of spiders, dares not come closer then his glance. then something weird happened. i was sleeping with my eyes opened the whole time facing george(thats chums name) and there really was a spider creeping about the top of my scull. at this point i still thought this was some strange dream. george began to "poke" me to wake thus getting rid of his phobia arachnid. i woke up screaming in the end because in my dream george was a giant furry spider poking my side with his furry arm. then he screamed because he didnt see where the spider went and feared it may have landed on him. so for your entertainment...picture if you will...two grown men...driving in a van...down a dark highway...with a spider perched upon ones head...and the other screaming. eventually he pulled to the side while screaming"smash it! kill it! ahhhhh! is it gone? ahhhh!" but of course i didnt. i put the frightened spider on the road side. and i swear it waved goodbye! syke. the moral of the story is dont drive with a spider on top your head down a dark road while sleeping with your eyes opened and dont do drugs. thank you joe. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

(hefner). i fear that some people when they reach a certain age they loose interest in new music and stick with music that they liked when they were young. see what i am getting at? i fear i am there. i fear that i will never like a new band and that the records i value and adore will be from the late 90s (specially around 1996/1997 like tigermilk etc.). now this is scary business cuz i don't wanna be like that. as jesus christ once said, no wait, jarvis cocker (i always confuse the two because of their initials) it's ok to grow up, just as long as you don't grow old. records that this year i have gotten bored of include kid a, the new hefter, the new pj harvey and well the list could get long. point being, i was looking forward to those records so much. the only records that i still like to listen to from this year is fishclap (specially the two first tracks), the david grubbs record, the sea and cake record and the will oldham and rian murphy (read: will oldham & drag city) ep. well is this is it? am i getting old? please, if someone knows how to get pills that makes you stop grow old then let me know how to get them, this is a critical situation. johan / le petit communiste +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

It's the office Christmas party tomorrow night and it's at London Zoo. Quite how I'll manage to tiptoe round heaps of camel dung in my heels is beyond me, but unlimited champagne and the opportunity to see coworkers make fools of themselves is not to be missed. Anyway, we all need a break, don't we? So rather than attempt any Drew-style escapades, I thought I'd write to you lot. A couple of weeks ago, Julie Burchill tried to sound Important and Controversial in the Guardian by writing about grown-ups who profess to like P!O!P! and how they should leave shiny, fluffy music in the territory of teenagers. I tried not to imagine what she'd say to me (if she really cared) if she heard I, at the age of twenty-five, had acquired tickets for Britains top Saturday morning show. That's right, last weekend I went to CD:UK. We arrived at the studios at the ungodly hour of 10am and were shown into a hospitality room where they served us... cups of water. Then, they made us practice dancing to garage hits. Sober. On a Saturday morning. This was meant to warm us up. They also made us practice clapping and whooping and sounding enthusiastic. The bloke standing on the table getting us to dance/clap/whoop/sound enthusiastic then told us what a rubbish show it was going to be. We were about to enjoy performances by Madison Avenue, Oxide & Neutrino, Sugababes and S Club 7. 5ive would not be live. Slash would swear and talk about blow jobs, but his mic would be turned down, so we would miss it. Have you ever tried to dance/clap/whoop/sound enthusiastic when you really, really, really can't stand the music? It's HELL! Especially in a great big shed with only a hundred-odd people inside, swinging cameras threatening to decapitate you and a bunch of scrawny clones in cowboy hats wiggling their arses on stage. We had to dance/clap/whoop/sound enthusiastic to a very forgettable Madison Avenue song THREE times (they've recorded another two versions for future programmes, oh joy, watch out for me next week, folks). S Club 7 might not have grinned at each other quite so happily had they realised they had only half a dozen fans in the room and the rest of us were cheering their choruses because if we didn't, a chap in headphones would sneak up behind us and threaten us with violence. Dear old Important, Controversial Julie Burchill, you got it right for once. P!O!P! may look shiny and fluffy, but underneath it's made of grey old brillo pads. Or something. Thank goodness I didn't go last week. I don't think I could bear to see Kylie looking haggard and lumpy. On to other stuff... We wonder if the person masquerading as Edna Welthorpe considers himself on a literary par with Joe Orton and if he sees himself as a watchdog of public morals, a daft egotist or both :) Beat Goes On was, indeed, the name of a Sonny & Cher song, but I was just joshing when I (not Mark C) said that - it was Sonny Rich who did the version the Gents (I like that name, thank you Mr Miller) covered and I remember the All Seeing I also did it a couple of years ago. Actually, I thought the GW gig was pretty good. I didn't catch a glimpse of Isobel's bum, but I did hear a couple of bum notes. She was both sharp and flat and she knew it because I saw her wince, but I'll forgive her because when they rocked out a bit, they weren't half bad. Shame they didn't do Sister Woman - I think it would have been quite successful. I still got the feeling Bill Wells had been helping Bel with her homework though... I found the BW Trio about as dull as a theme repeated over and over again with very little variation. Oh, hang on, that's exactly what they did. People appear to be crushing on my old email address - does that mean people preferred me as I was six months ago? Should I get my hair cut? Is anybody else going to see Monica Queen at the Notting Hill Arts Club on Saturday? Juicy Lucy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I still do once in a while ... when I discover something that really hits me in the heart (that sounds corny but who cares ... I am the queen of corniness anyway) Not sure it happens less often or more often than it did when I was young but it still does ... However I did discover this summer that a lot of things just excite me _LESS_- I don't listen to music that much anymore ... A lot of record I rated highly only a few years ago mean little to me now and I impatiently skip half of the songs Others stand the test of time and when I get them out I rediscover how good they are. But in general lately I have been lacking enthusiasm ... Edna: >1) She walks in beauty like the night Is that Suede? I'd say Dark Star but I could be horribly wrong ... It _is_ Suede, though, right?? People writing about how much they like snow Winter has _always_ been horrible for me ... in some way I equal physical cold with emotional cold ....

"Soon" "Yeah but when is soon??" ----"Soon") My dream is to move away to a place with milder climates one day ..... So far it isn't as bad for this time of the year .... It's around 15 degrees (celsius) and even in the mountains there is not much snow. A friend of mine who lives in Paris right now keeps asking me if it has finally snowed and I tell him I am glad it hasn't ... maybe I should pretend to like snow just for him ... but I don't It's just cold ... and wet ... Yes it may look beautiful .... looking out on it from inside somewhere warm .... Oooh yes and to those wearing glasses don't just hate it when you walk into a room from the cold and your glasses get all foggy ...

I've been trying to compose an intricate and hilarious post for ages but I've given up and decided to inflict the usual aimless ramblings upon you... I got my copy of "Its a Cool Cool Xmas" - Grandaddy's opener takes some beating but then The Sophtware Slump takes some beating as album of the year (apart from maybe The Great Eastern) - feel free to disagree with me on this. Oh yeah and the Dandy Warhols turn in an infectious makes-you-want-to-jump-up-and-down-forever tune as they often do. And some band called Belle & Sebastian contribute a nice song too. Talking of Xmas: I try to enjoy it but it can get a wee bit depressing if you're a resident of singlesville. Ah well... at least nobody minds if you're hopelessly drunk at this time of year. It's recently occurred to me that I've been on the list for about a year now. I haven't regretted a second since I joined and I love each and every one of you grate twee/non-twee kids. Yeah, even you: The one reading this thinking "he can't mean me". Thanks for creating such a fantastic place, Honey. Here's to all the posts/gigs/picnics/crushes of tomorrow. *Robster* Looking forward to the vague possiblity of a new album and - hey? - maybe even a tour in 2001?

My experience with this is that it's about time and priorities. When I was a boy, I could ride my bike to the record shop after school and spend a couple of hours browsing and listening. I'd pick out a record or two, ride home and lie in bed staring at the artwork, reading the lyrics and liner notes and listening for the entire 40 minutes (for that was the standard length of the LP record, RIP). This continued straight through college, where I was a happy-go-lucky goof off with plenty of time to kill. Law school (yes, I am a Legal Man) sucked up much of the time I had previously devoted to listening to music (although I stuck with the band thing half way through school). But work -- that was the last bullet in the coffin. Once my career got in gear, I barely had time to listen to the music I knew, much less keep up with new music. Fortunately, I realized this after a year or two and made the effort -- brought a radio to work and listened whenever I could and started buying things I thought I'd like. A couple of years later, this internet thingy came along and I started learning about mysterious groups from people who liked other groups I was into. Now I'm into lots of new music, even some of the stuff you hear on the radio, but mostly "obscure" (to most people) power pop and slo-core type stuff. The moral of the story is that I don't think it's your age itself that hinders your ability to keep up with new music -- I think it's an issue of having to make the effort where before it just came naturally. At least, it was for me! So make the effort already -- there's plenty of great stuff out there! g +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Basically a person's favourite doctor depends on when they were first scared witless by a dalek. Edna Welthorpe, Mrs, being an old trout (and not very tall, by the look of that e-mail), prefers pertwee, although i'm surprised she didn't go for william hartnoll to be honest, whereas us nubile 20-somethings are drawn towards baker (or even davidson). It's a bit like grange hill, my fave characters were gonch and that lot cos they were the same age as me, whereas our edna is almost certainly a tucker fan. edna also mentioned pinefoxlegs, which can be found here, in all their glory: http://www.geocities.com/carsmilesteve/atpphotos/onbeach.jpg Dearest Lucy talked about cd:uk, which sounded rather horrid, but i did manage to almost take a picture of the back of her and ally96's heads, which will be scanned at some point.

Cats, you can't trust them, one second they're sat fiddling with a piece of wool, the next they're fiddling with the space/time continuum... which reminds me of another theory, but i think we'll save that for another time. xoxo CarsmileSteve +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

The background music was Belle and Sebastian and there's constant looping of all the Belle and Sebastian videos on a big cinema screen (i'm not sure if it'll be B&S every day, or how often they change it). I thought folk might be interested in case they haven't seen the videos. There's also pictures of the pastels which you can easily navigate around according to your taste. Check it out on the modern internet - http://www.thelighthouse.co.uk/electric-city/ I really like the Christmas song, it goes to show how lovely Sarah's voice it. My mum said she sounded like "Borg". The arrangement in the middle is lovely, and there's two Isobel's singing at once. How did they do that? And the harmonies are lovely at the, quite Scarborough Fair. For people who were at the Sodastream Hyndland Gig, and for those who are interested. There's a couple of photos at http://www.sleekasounds.com/ in the media section, but there aren't any of the rather attractive sodastream blokes I'm afraid, just me.

But I'm actually totally agreeing with this here. I'm not disagreeing with the sentiment, if it is indeed what you say it is and not "leave shiny, fluffy music in the territory of teenagers" as in "Don't just not take it apart but infact actively shun it". What I'm objecting to is the use of the word "teenagers". The last chart pop band I liked before my D&C ephiphany were Alisha's Attic, I must have been, what, 12? From there it was Pulp, then B&S, then Mogwai and so on... I'd think it'd be the same for most people here. How many people have never told their friends that they hate Destiny's Child/The Spice Girls/Alisha's Attic/Whatever else that's pop and fantastic and number one when they were 13-19? I bet even BaxendTim did it at somepoint. By teenagers, Burchill means eight to thirteen year olds, and that's what so offends me. Also... amihotornot.com totally changes your world view, doesn't it? Don't you find yourself looking at all your friends, and trying to imagine how thousands of horny 13-year-old boys would rate them out of ten? I do, and it's tragic, I need some more attractive friends. Was it Steven Kado who said "something... corridors... something... Me: 10, Chan Marshall from Cat Power: 9, everyone else: -47624."? I will feel stupid if it wasn't. I had the most insane conversation today with the girlfriend of one of my ugly mates, which went: Her - What's that on your blazer? Me - It's a Belle & Sebastian sew-on patch... Her - Ah, right, Belle & Sebastian, cool... *Looks at my other badges* Oh my god, Daphne and Celeste, that's SO COOL! Can I borrow that? Pwease? Me - Naaah, but you can have this official D&C fanclub stick-on tattoo... *I remove from bag, give to her* Her - *Runs to bathroom, applies tattoo to cheek, returns* Yeah, I LOVE Daphne & Celeste, I threw bottles at them at Reading! And my boyfriend's tall, so he could actually hit them! It was SO COOL! They rocked! Truth is indeed stanger than fiction. This is the only explanation for the fact that my grandfather's just called me accross the house on the special emergency chiming machine to tell me to go and check that my father remembered to bring him a banana. I mean, surely he'd know? With all this talk of family relations, this is becoming a Pauline L. Shivers post, hmmm, where is she lately? And whatever happened to Andreas Johnson, whom I have been repeatedly told I look like the nonexistant younger brother of? Or the peccadiloes, whose 'Caught on Venus' album was quite good, in a kind of Buzzcocks + Electro Squishy Noises way? With these questions I depart. ---------- Go! Roku! sEven! eiGht!

Me and my friend anna went to the carol service at the uni church and we were rewarded for our bravery with two glasses of spicy wine, and two mince pies apiece. (greedy guts' I'm afraid). I just LOVE christians, don't you. You'll all be pleased to know that the service *opened* with 'O Come, O Come Emmanuel. I never know whether it is "O Come" or "Oh Come", but "Oh Come" sounds a bit rood, so it is probably the first option. I am sure that B&S sing it with roodness in their cherubic hearts though. It was all great until we had to sing 'Hark the Herald Angels sing' and Anna sang the really high note off key and made us both giggle. We got stares off the prim ladies sitting in front of us. I had a really disturbing dream last night. I was at Camber Sands and me and my friends were just finding our chalets when this big hole in the ground appeared in front of us. These men came and put a fence around it, but it just kept getting bigger and then everyone got really scared and ran away. And then it still kept getting bigger! If anyone wants to analyse the freudian significance of this, then feel free. And why do I never have flying dreams? Mmmm, mulled wine. We're gonna make some in a big vat at home. I got the recipe, and the special secret from the christain lady who made it. You're all welcome round my way for a glass of it, should you want. Well, I'll leave you to your wrapping paper and gluey fingers. Love Beth xxx P.S. - Alex Jackson, tell me what you want me to do with your auction thingy. I'm dyin' to get gluein'. P.P.S - Glad to see that my admission to fancying Eminem had such a (negative) response.

Hmm after I posted yesterday about the delights of Red Bulls, EVERYTHING went wrong! I discovered that my car has been dented big time, on the side where the kerb is! I've so king not got a clue what the hell could have happened there. Then I sucked at bowling and caused my team to lose to a team which DIDN'T TURN UP! Oh dear. But, things got lifted quite a bit after some vernis d'ongle and Red Bull drinking from 5pm, then straight onto T E R R O R V I S I O N who were absolutely grand, the guitarist handed me his empty beer can too! But foolishly I gave it away upon request by someone behind me arrrrgh. They were tremendous tho and they played all my favourite tunes and sprayed me with their super soaker. Woke up today with a slight headache but shrugged it off to do some work, got it all done which is good, but too much typing brought back the RSI on my arm/wrist/hand which was quite painful. Then, I went to the Christmas formal dinner in my University hall, my friend next to me has got a WAP phone so I went to check out the sinister WAP site to read mails. So, I was reading Beth Tilston's mail about the warth of B&(k)S as the church opened with O Come O come Emmanuel. Well, guess what? The dinner has hired carol singers and they sang O' Come O' Come Emmanuel too! Unfortunately their microphone didn't work properly and I was too far away to hear them, and I dunno how the song goes! Bummer, that teaches me to not buy stuff with B&(k)S in it as soon as they come out! Then more grrrrs as all the girls were like kissing and hugging boys, but not me, but I won't bore you with those. That's all folks. (It's best to finish where it started) Non-painful arms and Red Bulls!

It has been quite hard to go back to the routine after the grate weekend I have spent in London. It was full of hard emotions and unforgettable moments. I still can't believe it! Every time there is something that reminds me to it and makes me smile :) I went to London for the Gentle Waves concerts. First, I meet lovely Charles, who is more crazy than me, just going to the UK from Argentina to see Isobel. He is really nice and he was like my "daddy" at any time, taking care of me. It was absolutely lovely to spend those days with him. On Thursday night we went to see Snow Patrol live and although I haven't listened much of them, I liked the show. The singer was shaking his head like a fool! The next day Neil told us that Richard was playing drums with them and we didn't realize! Does anyone of the list went too? Do you know the name of the band who was playing before them? We were wondering about it but nobody knows. On Friday we went to the first Gents (as Mr. Miller calls them) show. We get to know Neil, who is very nice and gave us some budgets and stickers. I was surprised because I thought he was older! But he is only a young boy. First The Bills Wells Trio were playing and it was amazing to know that other aspect of Steve Jackson. The Gents were great, I loved how they ended it with that brilliant cover of "the beat goes on" but I missed many songs from the album as "sister woman". After the concert we had the chance to meet Steve and I couldn't avoid asking him for an authograph (fanatic girl...) He is really nice, he was talking to us with his lovely scotish accent. And then on Saturday the second show! In the evening I had phoned to nice Sally Moore and we were going to meet her on the bar donwstairs the Spitz. But as I didn't get to recognice her, after the Bill Wells Trio show I asked the boy who was selling the tickets to say her name by the microphone. (I'm sorry about it Sally!) So that I got to know her. She introduced me to many sinister listees: Steve Trousers, Mr Pinefox, Lucy Juicy, Vicky, Marc, Chris, Carsmile Steve, Ally Cook... They are all nice people. It was great to meet them! And a bit amazing aswell. Mr Pinefox is actually a fox but he doesn't have a tale! He asked me to tell him something about their posts but I was too nervous to say anything in my little English. I remembered that thing about the "funny things on sinister 2000" book and what you said about the clouds seeming to move faster as you get older, which made me laugh when you posted it. I promise I have read every post of you! But I can't remember all the contents of them... Steve Trousers was very kind too It was a shame we finally didn't go to the Strange Fruit... I hope we'll have the chance to go there another time, when Belle & Sebastian will be playing next spring-summer (??) Fingers crossed!! Have a nice weekend!! maria _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.

Or posing the question in a different way, what is the name for a book which is the complementary opposite to a dictionary? Does it exist at all? This stuff came to my mind when trying to explain that I sometimes feel I would like to live in certaing cities because the word designating its inhabitants sounded particularly well.And I have the vague impression that word in general is 'toponymic' ( rubbish speeling et al),but I am afraid it could be something totally different and i would make a fool of myself in this articulate list. Going into the heart of the matter, Toronto is one of this places.Torontonian sounds yeah, g-rrrr-e-a-t.So many t's,like a tarty tarantula dancing a tarantela.Steven Kado's posts also contribute to this impression that being a Torontonian is perpetual surreal partying.The same night he was requiring some expert's advice on his essays or at least some web page from where to copy these latter, I found this quote : 'She looked like a brilliantly catty novelist and reviewer with a PhD on Wittgenstein, and yet not quite,because no such person would have had a sking like that,a bosom like that,a dress like that.And not just not quite: not at all, beucause nobody with the whole lot like that would have dreamed of bothering with novels or Wittgenstein'. Despite the gender issue,would he mind to be described 'like that'?None of us will,I think.Though his picture on-board shows him closer to Bill Murray in the scene of 'Charlie's Angels' where he is busy raking into his gum seeking desperately that gagdet...umm.Steve,you could do much better,sure. Cryptic definitions of gamine : a)Small girl submitted to famine b)Hybrid inheriting the top of a gazelle and the tail of a feline. c)Brutal discos in 1996-anything femenine with crop and Adidas Gazelle. Crosswords have become a pilar of my existence in 2000. I told a friend I was in fear of agreeing too much with Julie Burchill lately and I have not heard from her since! The article that sprang this terror was the one brought into open discussion by Juicy, who looks lovely with her grown hair,I think.She (my Julie) is a bit alltogether confused with which range of age is 'teen-age',true,but I could not help nodding along to the core of her rants.It would give me personally the shivers to be seen as the pathetic thirty-something,still young-looking mum in few years time who believes she is cool because she recognizes which one is Daphne and which one is Celeste to the embarrasment of her six year old daughter. No doubt that the shiny,fluffy flame of POP! is fed by burning old grey brillo pads and whatever acrylic substance inside puffa jackets discarded at the age of fourteen to start aspiring to 'alternative' = unavailable in NewLook. Perhaps the most rad-ikal wing of the POP cult would support the idea of bathing Isobel Campbell in tar and sacrifice her in the eternal pyre of discomusic-for-fun,in a dislocating version of the spirit of Nation of Ulysses.Too many hours of Sanrio-shopping creates monsters. I typed 'Adrian Evans;baby' at the Sinister Search engine and all I got it was messages from the salad days where his actual spree was not even in the agenda...All I wanted to know it was what name he chose after Dylan was snatched from his careful fathering hands from celebrity couple not to be metioned. Every English person I encounter suffer a shock when I declare my Victoriana tendencies in such area.Edna? Lovely choice,though if I was Sinister-born again Cordelia or Marjorie would do. And to end, Agent Pennington, you were so right about the no-endings.Why nobody has dared so far to film a movie about the happy-no-endings of succesful relationships? There are many more boring arguments.

Message-ID: Hello there, OK people, here's what you've all been waiting for, the opportunity to submit you favourite albums/singles/bands/people etc in the definitive Belle & Sebastian fans review of 2000. As someone said recently, reading people's lists on Sinister can be tiresome and tedious, and if I remember rightly it's against the list rules is it not, so I have set up the opportunity for you to send lists galore to my website, where I will collect all the information, process it and hopefully produce the definitive list of 2000's best and worst things. OK, How? Right, simple. Just point your browser at www.belleandsebastian.freeserve.co.uk Click on the link to the VOTE PAGE, select Best of 2000 from the menu at the left hand side, fill in the blanks, cllick submit and that's it! Simple as that. I'm not having any of that nonsense about top 5 albums with a #1, #2, #3 etc best album as I don't think it's possible to differentiate between two or three albums if they are all excellent. Just put in the 5 albums you liked best, in no particular order and based on the number of votes recieved I'll decide which album or whatever deserves the title most popular of the year. (My decision will be final, no legal disputes over illegal ballots, no lawyers, and I guarantee the result will not take 4 weeks to be announced*) Right, When? Well, why not do it now. I reckon I'll keep the page open til mid January so that as many people as possible can vote, but if nobody votes I may extend that a bit. That's all, if anyone has any problems with the page let me know ASAP and I'll try and sort it out.

Deller) Date: Sat, 09 Dec 2000 16:13:27 +0000 Subject: Sinister: Dissertation research - please don't shoot me! Message-ID: Hi Some of you may remember that, a few months ago, I asked for volunteers from the Sinister list to help with a research project I was doing. Well, thank you to all who participated, because it went well (if you want to know more, do email me). So I am expanding on that research for my dissertation, and hoping to carry out a more detailed study of online fora used by pop fans. I really want to study Belle and Sebastian fans, so I thought I would write to tell you, in case anyone had any objections. My research will involve observation of what's going on in these fora, plus (at a later date) sending out questionnaires to willing volunteers. My aim is not to slag anyone off, (After all, I am a music fan who regularly uses mailing lists, chatrooms and such like), but to hopefully get an insight into fan interaction online - part of which will be about comparing the different types (chat, newsgroups, mailing lists etc) and comparing different groups. No e-mail addresses will be printed in the study, and it is only a dissertation, it's not going to be published or anything (though I could set up a black market if the demand is high!). If I wish to quote any of you at any point, I will e-mail you privately to ask for permission. Assuming people are OK with this, I'd like to look at the following Belle and Sebastian related internet activities: Sinister list Jeepster chat #sinister Jeepster forums alt.music.belle+sebastian Fan websites (can you suggest the best ones, anyone?!?) If anyone can think of any vital B&S internet fora I have missed or any B&S sites I really should look at, please let me know!! If you have any questions, doubts or if you want to be involved or find out more, then e-mail me, and I will do my best to get back to you (you don't have to volunteer to answer the questionnaire now, but if you do, that's great).

I have also been drinking last night a lot of vodka and you-know-what. It is really quiet and empty in my house, but instead of feeling quiet lonely and sad I'm feeling quite lovely and glad. Glad to be away from the depressing university hall which is bad and drives me mad. It is like as if it's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine (and I feel really original now too..) but really, I am all cosy in my house again, away from it all, and still smiling at the nice two days I've just had. It is a warm feeling indeed but it's probably not going to stay for long tho, only for tonight I'd imagine, before the world consumes me again and I'd have to face up to it. It is also quite bad that I haven't yet written the song for my lovely crushes, but it is getting there so you will just have to wait for a little bit more. :) It is odd that I seem to have started every paragraph with the words "It is", and I can't stop now.

BTW, I did get 3 photos of Foxgloves 1 in a row at gorgeous Gail's site but all that happened was that he turned into David Bowie on the cover of Hunky Dory. Are we still collecting hearings of B&S in strange places? How about Ease Your Feet In The Sea being played in the shop at La Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace at Le Bourget last weekend? Maria, the band supporting Snow Patrol at The Garage were called The Cooper Temple Clause. Shame I had to miss all the goings-on at/in The Gents last weekend: sounds like there was a lot less arse than expected. However, I did get to see The Clientele again last Thursday & they were excellent. So those of you who missed them should see them next Tuesday at Moriarty's Bar - & don't forget to check out The Pines (The Pines!) at The Bull & Gate on Friday either. Wow.

Will Oldham opend up with Marquis de Tren who were in very fine form. Is it just me or is Jim White one of the greatest drummers ever? I actually saw him at this same venue about three years ago backing up Chan Marshall aka Catpower... but anyway. sine Maxwells only holds maximum 200 people, and the stage it really low GYBE! asked everyone to sit down on the floor during their set so everyone could see. It so wonderful to see this mass of people curled up and nodding watching this amazing show. So it was almost totally dark with only the slides projecting over the band. Efrim and David were rocking and stomping in their chairs, and everyone was just in awe. I had to hold back the tears during the cresendo or "lift your skinny fist" it was just so powerful, so fucking triumphant. everyone should go out of their way to see this band. they are more than worth your time, and attention. as for B+S content: the drummer of Essex Green was at the show. Jeff from the Essex Green is also in Ladybug Transistor, and the Ladybug Transistor played the Bowlie Weekender. --- andrew - oh! if you can name the band that blessed the world with the 3 album godspeed series (and title of my post) well then... i'm very proud of you and have good karma comming your way. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I really regret having to say this, but as I'm not the first, I figured I should stick my neck out and wave my arms saying 'miss! He's been mean and horrible!'

I think you'll be surprised. answer to be found at the bottom of this mail Right, another question, where was everyone else when Monica Queen was playing on Saturday afternoon? I arrived with Juicy Lucy expecting to see a plethora of sinister types and there were none of yous :-( She was grate too, you missed out. Such a wee girl and such a huge voice, her stuff kind of reminded me of (I could be wrong here) EmmyLou Harris back when she was hanging around with Gram Parsons (Like I say I could have got the singer wrong and I can't check up as my guru on all things of this sort is busy being mugged and riding horses in Ecuador) Anyway, I digress, her music was lovely, very basic but heartfelt lyrics and a cool guitarist accompanying her to boot. At one point she announced a song by saying "this one's called do something pretty....while you can" [cue shocked looks between us and Ms Queen looking up and grinning at those who recognised the reference] 'Twas no cover version but was superb nonetheless. She was not on for very long and was swiftly replaced by the biggest pile of toss I've heard in a long time, they went by the name of Vinyl exam (crap name - crap band) make sure you avoid them kids, they'll offend your musical sensibilities. Next up, why cds are bad, the answer is.....they don't have cool little messages scratched into the run-out groove bit like you get on vinyl. I remember the Smiths were always good at this sort of thing with little messages relating to their songs (I'm sure that Mrs Welthorpe will be able to remind me which one had "I dreamt about stew last night" on it). Well, anyway, cds don't have that and that's a bad thing indeed, it was always like finding a special little message when you got your record home. Now you just get horrible plastic cases that break as soon as you look at them ho hum never mind yadda yadda yadda On that moaning note I'm off for a few more minutes of boring work followed by an evening of entertainment provided by the lovely trembling blue stars and some ex-romos toodle-oo Chrisx top songs for the day: 4 skinny indie kids by half man half biscuit and heavenly pop hit by the chills ooh yeah and am180 by Grandaddy The answer to the question at the start of the post is..........The mighty half man half biscuit!!

Message-ID: <20001211170642.20604.qmail@web612.mail.yahoo.com> ..and usually when the majority of people are, as the technical term goes, skint. Did my Christmas shopping today, finishing off those last and impossibly difficult pressies. Got something for the boyfriend (an impulse buy, I saw it, I pondered, and then thought "Well, what else am I going to get him? He'll like it, it might take some persuading, but he'll like it"). Got lots of funky wee pressies and put them together for boyfriends sister. Got boyfriends mum and dad something nice as well. I would tell, but boyfriend comes on sinister, and reads what I write about him, so I want to keep schtum so it will all be a suprise. Got my brother a harmonica (why does that sound grammatically incorrect? please tell me, is it an harmonica or a harmonica..?) with a book about how to play the harmonica. Quite nice it was too, lovely tone to it. I can only presume that if he ever masters playing it, the poor people of Glasgow will be listening to him busking. And knowing my brother, it will probably be a Star Trek related tune. Hmm. (Sorry in advance to the people of Glasgow.) Got mums Christmas pressie sorted too (the Body shop is a wonderful place for the unimaginative, except in my case cos mum actually wanted something specific from there. Making me even more unimaginative.) Brother is sorting out dads christmas pressie. something about an audio CD thing. Gave lots of lovely pressies to the lovely people in my life at UEA. Been guartanteed chocolate in return. SORTED! :) (I love chocolate.) So what is the sinister christmas wish list? sit on my lap, tug my beard (it is real, I don't shave) and tell me what you want.

It's all Jules' fault, don't ask me why. Ian said: "Blah blah blah...RAINBOW BRITE...blah blah blah..." See how I pick out the BEST words. Because Rainbow Brite is indeed wonderful and fabby and ace and grate. I'm a little bit bouncy because I've drank altogether too much Ribena...I'm an addict. I have my prelims all last week, and this and the week after this. But my Chemistry prelim was ace, because the class before us did it a week earlier, and the teacher (who is a jammy mad professor) left all the answers and working and stuff to the last questions (which was worth a lot of marks) on the board. But I only had time to giggle about this once I noticed, which was after I'd already done the test. BUT, I started giggling, and he saw his mistake, so he moved the board up. To the revision he'd done with us last period. So it was a really good test, I hope the real Standard Grade has as dopey a jammy mad professor. In my music exam today they played Belle and Sebastian for one of the questions. Well, actually, they played Boyzone, but I sat and pretended it was B&S, so maybe that counts. It's my friend Debs' 15th birthday tomorrow. I thought about making her a little book of all the memorable things she's said to me ("Don't worry, Jimmy, I'm sure he doesn't hate you as much as I do", or "You're a Jew. I just said that, because I want to become a Nazi, and start the next holocaust, just to make sure you're in it"). People in school call me Jimmy. I don't know why. Instead though, I made her a Barbie Doll of herself. She's blonde and perfect, so I didn't have much trouble. But she's also a Dominatrix, so I had a fake leather handbag (Not real leather, cause that's bad) which burst on me, so I cut it up and made it into a Barbie sized leather catsuit, complete with whip, which took me ages, cause it was really really fiddly, and I superglued my hand to the Barbie's thigh for ages, before I could get it off. But it's done now and it looks magnificent. I had such a good day, because I went into school really really happy on Ribena, you've got no idea what that stuff does to me. It's the best drink in the world, it tastes ace. I was cheeky to a hard kid, you should've seen me. It went like this: Hard Kid: Yer f*****ing ripped, yer a f***ing freak, etc Jenowl (Blinks): Oh, ok. Hard Kid: Yev goat a serious attitude problem, hen Jenowl: So have you. And I'm not a hen Hard Kid: F*** f**** f**** (repeat ad lib) Jenowl: You're kind of fat Hard Kid: Rah rah rah *Jenowl walks off, and waves her hand in the air in a very debonair way, like the guy in Cruel Intentions when the parkie says his car's in the wrong place, before he turns all good, and then dies and stuff* That was it. I was very shocked at myself. But PMT made me do it. It turns me into a cool cat. I think that me spending the rest of the day cowering in the library was well worth it, to see all her chins drop and wobble. Hee hee. Now I'm worried I'm turning into a Hard Kid, if I was mean to one. The Young Ones is such a fabby grate tv programme, it was on some fancy cable channel the other night, when I was at someone else's house. I was once getting of with someone and that was on on mute in the background, and all it was was Rick Mayall battering everyone with a baseball bat and smashing up chairs and things, and I burst out laughing in the middle of it and everything. Boy was that person not anxious to ever see me again. I don't see what's wrong with swearing, but I still hardly ever do it.

Message-ID: <20001211205910.A567@severin.dunbar.org> i can't believe how much there is now. okay, so maybe it's not in 10-ft drifts, but it's really starting to get in the way. oh well. i like it. i have a book on my desk that was my grandfather's. it's a book of poems in welsh romani by john sampson, welsh gypsy expert of old. i only bring it up because now every time i think of the word snow, i think of a poem that's in there called "iv opré o them" the translation of which starts "Lo! the snow!" which is now what will pop into my head forevermore when i think of snow. for better or for worse. MUSIC THAT ISN'T B&S: anyway, i've just got my hands on a copy of runrig's "play gaelic". my mother bought it for herself because she likes one of the songs on one of their newer albums (but the rest of that album is to neither my liking nor hers). but this seems to be their first album -- i don't know, i'm no expert on runrig, but that's the way it comes across from the cover and the liner -- and it's rather nice. i don't know why she doesn't like it, but i won't argue. she gave it to me. and most of the time when i get music from people i take it suspiciously. but this is good. of course, i don't know what any of the words mean, as it's entirely in gaelic. i've worked out a few things though; one of the things that didn't take much working out is that "an ros" means "a rose" (or maybe "the rose", i don't know), as that's laid out for the reader in the liner notes. what really struck me, though, is the eerie resemblance that song, "an ros", bears to a certain other song. probably a coincidence. anyone with a copy of this should listen to the opening of the song (not to mention the chord progression) until it hits them. if it hasn't already. it really is uncanny for a coincidence, but it's too uncanny to be anything else. it is rather a good album. A SORRY LAMENT: i've been thinking about a girl in my physics class and how pale her blue eyes are. and i know i better do something about this soon. tomorrow, i keep telling myself. that's all i have to say about that. B&S CONTENT: as for b&s content, i know i had some. i KNOW i had some.. damn it.. well, in case i never said so, the girl who had borrowed my copy of fishyclap gave it back a while ago. which is interesting to me, but it's hardly news. anyway, she has pretty good taste in music, and for a while there i had a pretty solid crush on her. but she never really liked me. we've been not so much friends as "people who interact from time to time if they happen to be in the same room" since we met. she's a nice girl. there was some band she told me about once, and i can't think what it was... but i never got the chance to check them out. i dunno anything about them. their name was "somethingorother and the royal jelly", but i don't remember what the somethingorother was. perhaps someone knows. i doubt anyone will get this far into the post, it really hasn't been too interesting so far. but if anyone could help me out here, it would be much appreciated. anyway, i suppose i will go look for the lyrics to these songs, with translations. perhaps then i can more fairly evaluate this album. but as i said it is very good. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I'm running out of reasons to NOT drink as I'm not a religious person, ....then again I never have so why start now...Need a little encouragement though so if you could kindly direct it my way it would be lovely? (to not drink that is......i think...hmmm) *ponders* WHAT'S A GIRL TO DO? What should someone do if there is a moxie girl one un-named girl (ahem) wants to be friends with but is too uncourageous to approach. You must remember that I---I mean, this girl is too intimidated and doesn't have any classes with this other girl and really only sees her from afar. How does one strike up a friendship like this?

I mean, Kenickie. They were quote good, but heaven only knows why they deserve a radio sesions compilation when, for example, none of B&Ss sessions are commercially available, or why you *still* can't get a complete set of Smiths or Go-Betweens sessions. ***ROCKIN' OUT*** A Tape sent by a Ms Llew has reignited my lonmg dormant Pixies obsession.

And I quote: "Cut by New Orleans veteran producer Harold Battiste, the record is by far the hippest number this husband and wife duo ever cut, and revived a career that by early 1967 was flagging....'The Beat Goes On' gives us a very atmospheric go-go style of music, some mildly nostalgic lyrics and a great title to borrow for a CD compilation." Does that sound right? The lyrics certainly have Isobel potential, being about mini skirts and grandmas, among other things. It goes "la-de-da-de-doo, la-de-da-de-dee". I had assumed it was the one that goes "and the beat goes on, just like my love, everlasting". Is this the one Erica was referring to? My enjoyment of pop music has increased considerably since I was 13. There is a Seymour Stein co-production on Dave Godin's Deep Soul Treasures Volume 3.

Message-ID: <3A360EE3.CF78E0CC@ruskin.ac.uk> ...is now officially designated CarsmileSteve's offical Pre-xmas london pissup day (and there is at least half a plan and everything). HALF A PLAN Baxendale are playing ROTA at Notting Hill Arts Centre, which starts at FOUR pm, which is a good time to start drinking, and even those of you who don't like baxendale (weirdos that you are ;)) should come because it is FREE to get in and you can drink turkish lager and everything. After that finishes, there will almost certainly be pub related shennanigans, possibly even an armadillo or two. Anyone who fancies it (and indeed can think of the other half of the plan), should drop me a line and it will be FUN and STUFF. I went to see six by seven last night and they were rather good (in a *this* is what catherine wheel should've sounded like kind of way (and that is a compliment, btw)), and very loud, which is always to be approved of. 6x7 will always have a fond place in my heart for giving out those "two and a half days in love with you" badges out at the end of bowlie (i know it was one of their songs/eps, but it did sum up the feel of the weekend in one handy one inch diameter pin on item), although i seem to have misplaced mine, which is a shame. The gig was also a charidee gig for warchild, and it's nice to do a bit at this time of year. I'm going to see league of gentlemen tonite as well, a local show for local people, apparently. Gosh what a busy and exciting life i lead, kind of. Suppose one has to do something to make up for the mind numbing boredom of work.

Message-ID: <6531E220B2@mail1.mcc.ac.uk> owww, i fell over getting off the bus this morning and landed in a crumpled heap on the floor, i'm now in pain and will probably be in a bad mood for the rest of the day, although i am starting ot feel remorseful towards the nice young man who stopped to help me up, while i just grrrred at him in an 'of-course-i'm-alright-why-are-you-helping-me-up-i'm-not-an-invalid' sort of way. so i'll put my apology on the sinister list which of course he'll never read, but it makes me feel better anyway. it still hurts though. last time i did something like that i'd torn ligaments or something and it hurt for weeks. it did mean that i got prodded by doctor chris from richard & judy, which always makes a good anecdote. (he's one of the doctors at my surgery, i didn't just stop him in the street or anything) i have some vaguely b&s related news; i was wearing my colourblind t-shirt the other day and the boy on my course with belle and sebastian badges who i've been meaning to talk to for ages, but i'm not very good at that sort of thing, stopped to speak to me. i haven't spoken to him since or anything, but its nice to feel noticed. for anyone who wondered, (and i know that isn't any of you, but, i won't be offended if you click on the little pointing downwards triangle) my lovely lickle indie night went hugely well last week, we got twice as many people as the union exec thought we would and now my society bank account is brimming with over £300. the only problem with that is we're supposed to be a non-profit making organisation, but i'm sure i'll find something to do with the money. /fiona makes rubbing hands together action. yesterday, in our student house we had christmas day. we had a tree and presents and chicken (turkey was too expensive) and sprouts and pudding and mulled wine and a cd with ronan keating doing a shocking version of 'fairytale of new york' (the best christmas song in the world...ever!) being poor students, we decided that we couldn't spend more than a pound on anyone, but you'd be shocked at what you can get for a pound these days, we had books and baubles and all sorts of furry things and someone even managed to find a nail-varnish drier for a pound! yes, a pound! pf (i think) mentioned erasure. erasure are (were) great, thats better than grate, actually great, and the most P!O!P! band i can think of. woo woo, although girl thing are hot on their heels. i have a rainbow brite ruler. hands up who's already snuck into their parent's / partner's / insert other loved one here's wardrobe / other hiding place and found their christmas presents and just managed to lift the cellotape enough to see what's inside without disturbing the wrapping paper. i have. i've managed to see a tigger cover for my phone and some underwear so far. one year my mum bought me a take that live at wembley video, i found it and watched the whole thing before christmas and no-one ever knew. i think i was about 12, just to add strength to the teen argument. because i liked take that for about two years, and then i discovered suede and blur and oasis and elastuca when i was 13, and here i am today. why am i telling you this?? ne'ermind, complex calculus beckons, not very encouragingly, but it beckons all the same. love and irn-bru, fiona. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/worldofirnbru twee scottish pop ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Wow, it's just like dating. Speaking of which, Jules said: > on a lighter note, I am still seeing the lovely, fluffy and charmingly > underweight (despite a week of my dodgy cookery) Mikey and he's the > best thing since chocolate covered macademia nuts! Which improved my day no end. Although why anyone would be attracted to a skeleton is completely beyond me. However, I will not be lodging any complaints just yet. I do recommend Jules' cooking though, so everyone round to Jules' place for supper. Jules, food for 1500 please, ta. She'll do it as well, that's how darn lovely she is. Oh yeah, and if you've bought books from her and haven't paid yet, cough up yer cheapskates. Or I'll come round to your house and... and... give you a nasty look! Then run away! So watch out. Anyway, it's nearly Christmas, I'm off to get drunk, byebye. Love, Mike :o) PS.

So we like concert reports, do we? Then we should all join Segundosdeluz, where Charles has uploaded 28 photos taken of The Gents in London. I like Friday's ones better: a bit sharper & more varied. You get Beauty & The Beast, Sweaty Armpits & can make up your own mind in The Great Debate: see 01-12'14-1024.jpg where Charles has snapped the Wrangler-clad Campbell derrière, the cheeky chappy. He also deserves some kind of medal for travelling all the way from Buenos Aires to London & attending both gigs.

Message-ID: Dear Sinners, I have seen lonely streets walking along whilst I stand still. Sick. Of this. Of that. Trying to be it. Rock stars are born and can't be made into anything else. But what do budding rock stars do when faced with money deficiencies in their early careers? Hmmm.....Here's a bit of content for once: One of the main reasons I like Belle and Sebastian is because I am a musician of a similar stripe. And they (being who they are and where they are from) aren't doing so bad. They give me hope that I too can once fulfill my destiny to be a social deviant on a grand scale. (This isn't megalomania....it is just that I have no other decernible talents) Thinking, drinking, writing, playing and singing....more thinking. These are things I have mastery over. Things I don't have any idea how to accomplish: 1)Any kind of work (in the conventional sense) 2)social interaction that doesnt end with someone wanting to freak out or worship me. 3)Coming off as anything but way too fabulous/avant-garde to be trusted with any kind of work that pays worth a shite. You may say "O Pickle Prince.....why must you care so much about material things when you espouse such existential, crowleyan, and pseudo-zen buddhist/discordian thinking?" Answer: I live in San Francisco. The rents here are higher than in Manhattan. Right now....SF is one of the most expensive places to live in the US. But hey...i do love it here. But is this worth it? I don't know. Yeah...I know. I'm a whiny bitch. But....damn it! I want to do something pretty while I can.

I'm not too good at introductions but I'll have a go. I've just been lurking on the list not contributing (uncontributing?). I decided to post but then the college told me my E-mail space has too many old messages. It's my own fault I suppose. I just can't bring myself to delete e-mails. They sound so helpless. I've waited to post but have been thwarted. I'm not too good at thinking up subject headers (just take a look) and I have a boring e-mail address ( it's just my name and my college). I feel I should be called FluFFurB23 or something in a similar vein. The college won't have it. But I got over all these blocks and decided to post. Now, I fear, I will have to subscribe to the digest. Will I go back in the nursery? I don't want to, it was too quiet, and all the best toys were broken or the wrong colour. Anywho, my introduction. I'm Jon aged 20. I'm currently serving my second year at art college, which is my own mini hell. I don't actually have a specific thing to say, just a general helloo. Erm, I saw the gentle waves at the spitz last week. All very nice, although I now have to envy Stevie Jackson's harmonica playing as well as his guitar playing and singing. Still, I bet he was hot in his suit. I've seen Grandaddy and Sigur Ros mentioned which lightened my heart. I had to stop myself from going "oh oh, I like them!" in the computer room. I think my fellow students think I'm a mentalist as it is. I could tell a little story of how I almost fell over yesterday, but it's less a story and more of a sentence. Anyway, it involved me, my flares, my inability to run in a logical way and an angry motorist. I walked away with a slight blush, but no harm was acheived. Well, I've broken my listfast and it's getting dark. I have to walk home to Mottingham and it's been raining. My work is done. Maybe I'll post again, unless this one is badly recieved. Please be kind though, it was my first time though I hope you didn't notice. Jon. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

In addition to this, i cannot find any good shows that would be worth attending by way of the internet. Is there a good sight to go to? Is my best bet to just wait and look at an entertainment guide when i get there? please help. things that deserve a hearty WOW!!: -Godspeed Live -Jets to Brazil -The Quantity Theory of Insanity -and there's something about tomatoes A small fraction wondered where the talk of the ODB had wondered off to. The latest on ODB is that he escaped from a federal drug rehab clinic in California and made his way all the way to NYC to rendevous with the Wu for their first concert in years. Apparently he spit one verse, told everyone he loved them, then said he had to go before the feds showed up. He was apprehended days later at a McDonalds drive-thru in Philadelphia. It all makes too much sense. I would go into my MickyD's crack-conspiracy theory, but i won't. In a lack of good judgement, i worked there for a while. You see so many sad cases. A bit of content: I saw an Amphetemeanies album at OM that was rediculously priced. I re-established my relationship with my best friend over the weekend. we hadn't been getting on so well lately, so it was a great thing.

Fiona, if your society is like my society was at university, don't you use the £300 left over to buy records with? That's what we did, and although the records remained the property of the society, it was not impossible to do the teensiest bit of embezzling without anyone noticing... Also, I have to ask, but WHY on earth do you want to know what you're getting for Xmas? What's the point in having a day to exchange pressies if you already know what the pressies are (it's obviously different if you've asked for stuff)? So, instead of getting lots of great things after weeks of gleeful anticipation, you just get the great things, and have to fake joy and surprise. Sounds like a raw deal to me. I'm not having a go, I just don't get the logic. Unless the fun in trying to peek is greater than the anticipation. Am I answering my own question?

Bush is going to be the next president: Howdy, folks! Ooh, it's been ages since I last wrote here. But yesterday my better half insisted that I'd bother you, so here I am. DO! MAKE! SAY! THINK! You people seem to like Godspeed! You black emperor. That's nice, they're ok. A funny thing: The other bands from Constellation records (the circle of artists that Godspeed guys belong to) like Do Make Say Think and Iron Mount Zion... they all sound quite the same, don't they? guitar goes ZWANGGGGG three times a minute, then they throw some other intstruments on top of that. The only thing that separetes Iron Mount Zion from Godspeed is the fact that Godspeed songs are filled with violins whereas Iron Mount Zion songs have that darn piano going PLINGGGG six times a minute. How many albums of "minimalistic art" can you own? PEEOUPEE! No, thats not the sound of me getting a golden shower in my eye from my secret boyfriend, but P!O!P!: I bought "Life goes on" by the BMX Bandits yesterday, and it's surprisingly good. In fact, it's ace. I borrowed it from the library about six months ago and I though it was shit. Now that I've listened to it about 6 times during the past 18 hours I have to admit I was wrong. Better than Teenage Fanclub? Frankly... yes. I've never understood what the fuzz about Tfanclub is all about. Nice melodies, nice sound, but that's all that it is: Nice and comfy. But hey, some people are like bunnies, some dig doggystyle. MEW AND STINA AND BRETT! This is just to our beloved Honey (ok, maybe a few others too): The new album from a danish band called Mew contains a song "Her voice is beoynd her years", and it features none other that Stina Nordenstam herself on vocals. Check out http://www.mewsite.com for more details on the band. Oh, and Brett Anderson, for those who didn't know, has been to Iceland to record some vocals to Stinas new album which will be out sometime next spring. Thats it. In conclusion: art is crap, pop is nice, but it shouldn't be too nice. And Stina is a goddess. -Jarkko Frantila (Jace le PetitE), room 423, School of vocational teacher education. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.

Message-ID: <20001214105247.5697.qmail@web615.mail.yahoo.com> Adam said: "sitting across the computer lab table from me there is a very pretty girl, and sometimes we glance at each other. just now when i did she looked back and so i tilted my head like "hello" but she looked away like "oop, i'm not looking at you!" anyway i just thought you should know." right. Who else on sinister agrees with me that Adam should find his guts (located somewhere in the bravery department, also available by mail order, guaranteeing next day delivery) Go up to this supposed hot lady fox type girl And SEDUCE her? I think so. Cutsie looks are fine. if you happen to want to be an optitian when you finish doing what you are doing now. But idleberry thinks that what Adam wants to do is some seriously successful seducing of this girl who has caught his eye. So whats everyone elses advice? Adam, I say next time you see her you do this: 1. swap cute glances. 2. Lick your lips seductively while eyeing her up. 3. give her a wink. 4. close your eyes and make gasping noises 5. Unbutton your shirt and feel your chest 6. let a strand of hair fall seductively in your face, and twiddle with it, while licking your lips, and making come hither eyes. (a finger gesture of "come here and see what Santas got for you, baby" might also be appropriate) 7. If she doesn't come over, shes playing hard to get. Walk over to her table, and wiggle while you walk. The best method for getting a sexy wiggle, is to walk in a straight line, but cross your feet just a little more over to the other side. 8. Sit on her desk, cross your legs and lean one hand across her keyboard. 9. Ask her if she'll show you how to use one of these computers, cos you don't really have a clue. (the distress thing is workable. trust me) Giggle cutsiely as well. 10. When she shows you how, offer her something to repay her for her kindness. Don't forget to apply the husky, sultry voice while doing so. Ten easy steps Adam. Worked for my boyfriend*. Love, Idles *Not strictly true, but I thought I ought to say it did work, even if he didn't do that, as reassurance to Adam. Oh Mark is going to ask me now why I said that and look confused. Mark, if you're reading this, don't ask. Just you know, put it down to one of my moments or something. If only he would get my humour, now and again. It would reassure me that I am not as odd as the looks I get telling me that I am. ===== http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/corduroysmoke we're all smoking our corduroys in our secret little b+s club- what are you doing?? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I kinda like Robbie Williams I think, but I wouldn't go as far as buying an album... or vinyl. I used to get my music teacher to make cassettes of Mantovani and Respighi records for me at school, cos I never had a record player of the post-50's period, hence a difficulty in connecting audio leads. Mantovani did easy listening music and was 'famed' for his 'cascading strings' orchestration. Respighi was also famed as a great orchestrator, Italian too, but studied under Rimsky Korsakov at the Moscow Conservatoire. So, I didn't listen to pop as a teenager much. Sad kid, maybe, but I discovered ambient and techno before anyone else in my school, so I had an edge of sorts. I had a summit meeting yesterday in the boardroom with my sometime employers. I'm taking a few months off. I may never go back.. who knows. They're such nice people, but regular day jobs and me, I suspect, are never going to mix. I think the Pickle Prince mentioned a similar situation. Yeay dude! My room is blitzed. I'm supposed to be sending someone from the list a christmas present. I started at the weekend, but as Rabbie Burns said about the best laid plans gangin' aft agley... Thing is sometime, but not just yet. Success and failure is a useful working conceptual structure for so long then it just gets boring. If one isn't 'successful' then, like, so what. Life is too complicated for such dumb definitions of people. I saw the exhibition somebody mentioned, in Glasgow, about Glasgow pop. And yes, in the background was 'Falling From Grace'. It sounded good. But the floor was AMAZING. Miles of metallic sticky tape in pop art striations, curves, dilations, concentrics... wow. The fanzine stuff in the actual exhibits was good too. I went searching for fanzines afterwards, but I couldn't find any. I was about to offer congratulations to President George W Bush of the USA, but that is perhaps regarded as inappropriate list content. Then again, probably most of what I say is... I don't get out much. I never knew the names of the bands in all the gigs I went to anyway, but hell, the music was fine! Intensity is the modus operandi. A nice simple life is a myth.

I walked home and my hair got wet but I was happy. I didn't even put my hood up. Today I write again. Unfortunately I won't have access to a computer next week as it is the festive holidays. I'll just sit in my little house while my flatmates go to work. Oh well, tis but once a year. I finally deleted some e-mails today against my wishes. I got rid of around three hundred but hopefully when I return in January they will have reappeared again. I put panic on the cd player today to add some urgency to the usually boring Thursday. I don't think it worked. If anyone knows of a song to add a certain spring in the step I'd be thankful for any suggestions. The grey weather reall slows life down. Ah, well I must resume my work as I have deadlines for tomorrow. Then I have nowt to do except eat turkey and practice my playstation skills (which are very minimal).

I know there are at least 1300 of you out there reading this (hopefully!) and in order to get the Sinister list Best/Worst albums, songs, bands etc of 2000, I need you to vote. If you haven't done so yet (and judging by the response that means about 99% of you!), visit www.belleandsebastian.freeserve.co.uk, Click on Votes Page, then click on Best of 2000 where there is a form to fill in. PLEASE NOTE, I suspect many people have mistakenly voted for their favourite B&S album and EP instead of voting for the best of 2000. Please note there are two distinct pages for voting on the site, one for your favourite B&S EP/Album and the other is specially for voting in this 2000 survey, feel free to fill in both seperately. Alternatively if you can't be arsed visiting the site, send me an email to david at belleandsebastian.freeserve.co.uk (Subject: 2000) listing: your name your 5 favourite albums of the year (and the artist name) your 5 favourite songs of the year (again with the artist name) your favourite band in 2000 the one album you regret buying from 2000 (again with artist name) your favourite gig of 2000 and finally, your favourite memories of 2000 You don't need to complete every category, just make it clear what nominations go with what category.

And I don't want to visit there without doing any research. I was wondering, does anyone know any good books on the subject of something like 'how to survive in Scotland/UK without people laughing at you or beating the crap out of you and taking your money'? As in, books on manners and survival tips and stuff? You know, like in America there are certain things you are supposed to say and certain things you aren't, but you have to know what they are...

I think he thought I'd been smoking pot, but I was only burning insence, which is fabby. I would never ever smoke pot. But my room looks really groovy, since I gave up on lightbulbs, and now live by sun and candlelight. Except when I need to see clearly. Someone gave me a really nice winter present today. I was a very pretty celtic cross, and ring, and it was from the little girl that I teach guitar to. I feel really bad, though, cause I only got her a little beaded box of girly stuff like nail polish and lip gloss and parma violets. But it was purple, which is my favourite colour, and her's too, I think. I got some of my prelim marks back again today, and I'm a bit happy, because so far I have got no more than three wrong in any test, and full marks in a lot. The best part was that I didn't tell my friends, so nobody really knew, except my mum (and now sinister), and they all think I got a really bad mark, because I didn't tell them. I'm such a minx. I lay awake for a very long time listening to the Lazy Line Painter Jane CD, just smiling, because of all the amazing little touches that I'd never heard before. I really like A Century of Elvis now, which I used to hate, and skip it every time it came on. But now I think it's just fabby and grate and magical, and I wish Stuart David hadn't left. If I saw him in the street, I'd give him a bog frown. Kar'n and he are the perfect couple, and it's just sad that they're so lovely, but no longer part of one of my favourite things. It's a hard thing to describe, but I'm so sad that I think that anything connected with Belle and Sebastian in such a close way would be so suicidal to sever tha, because it must be something really wonderful. Ooh, I'll just shut up. I'm just a sad little obsessive. Someone asked me (James the ginger perv), if the fact that i've kissed so many people makes me feel shallow. I've only kissed about 15 people, properly. But I don't see why not. Kissing is the best thing in the whole wide world, and you should share it with as many people as possible. A boy called Andrew said I was the Kissing Angel, because I would go to parties with him and snog (but god I hate that word) all the boys and girls who'd never been kissed before, because they were nerds, or all the boys and girls who were feeling depressed, and needed to feel wanted. And I don't think that's shallow, at all. I think it's a good thing, to be able to share that with people. Another thing he said I was shallow for, was because I don't ever see anyone as completely bad. I always manage to find something nice about someone. We tried this, and I was sticking up for all the hard kids, and even Hitler, because I always felt kind of sorry for him, even though he did bad things. He said that I would never be close to anyone, because I can't properly hate, so I can't properly love. And I know that it's true that the two need each other , it doesn't need to be a perfect balance, does it? Besides, it's not as though I'm completely indiscriminate, I do like some people better than others, you know. Aww, man, don't tell me I'm getting all mopey in my old age. Back to the old me now, I have learned the Noddy theme tune in german. Wayhey! I love you all, and I really mean that. Hugs, Jen Ps. I put more stuff on my website. Well, one new Bob the Ghost Wasp thing, about the Bob Squad and how it was made. And some stuff I wrote for English, because the teacher said they were too long to hand in, and I didn't know what to do with them. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I lost all my Belle & Sebastian albums, among other favorites. I think I was just so anxious to get home to try on the dazzling pair of electric-blue socks in the goodie-bag that Virgin Atlantic gives out [even to us po' ass suckas in economy class], that my mind was not all there. I also lost my 80's mix. I called Virgin Atlantic baggage services, but no luck. I think maybe one of the 'flight hosts' found it took it home. I'm pretty sure which one it was - the short-haired brunette who I caught eyeing my Tigermilk/Outkast MD with envy. So right now I'm wasting my night re-recording minidiscs. But at least my feet are nice and toasty with my Virgin socks - they also match my favorite sweater.

I'm sitting in my room listening to the new Gentle Waves album feebly attempting to decide which colleges to apply to.

I always thought that once I get back to home it'll be okay, that I'll no longer see girls who I fancy kissing other boys, but no, it doesn't stop, it carries on. Hmm, great. I am not going to get me down tho, somehow, I haven't figured out how yet. I have now bought the It's a cool cool Christmas album, after hearing how good O Come O Come Emmanuel is on mp3, unfortunately, some of the other songs on the album aren't quite as good (some were actually quite poop), but at least I've donated money to charity in buying the thing, even tho I could have been listening to the song on my walkman whilst buying 11 copies on the Big Issue instead. The B&S song alone tho, was worth the money in itself. The bit with Sturan in it was especially good. I am very sorry to my Christmas gift exchange people, that I haven't yet sent your presents yet and you'll probably get it late now, I'm sorry, but I assure you that it will be worth it. I have also fallen in love recently with the first CD of the magnetic fields' 69 love songs, it makes me feel in love, even when I'm hopelessly not. Well you can't have it all, or any of it in my case but who cares.

Better ask your lists, people will always know anything. I love this system, it gives me confidence. Togepi is a little egg at the beginning, and then a little cute yellow plant-ish thing will come out. It's a little baby and it's really cute. In the TV Pokémon, Togepi is with Misty all the time because it saw her first and thinks that she's its mum. Togepi can do some magic, but it's most of the time not able to. Kerstin "helped ya ?" H.

Anyway, I did recklessly listen to it, all wobbly like, very dangerous I know. monday's rain was fine, but the needle sort of skimmed the surface when it was going back to it's place on i had to say this, but I dare not listen to it again to see if it was scratched at all. Both songs are on suburban light, but it makes all the difference to hear it as a single I found out: it's just that there's more space around the song, space and time to get up and turn it over, hovering over the turntable, thinking about the song. It's no use putting in more silence between songs, as Mark Robinson so carefully notes that he did on the Flin Flon cd: then you're just waiting. OK, my sister is knocking. You've got to see "Ratcatcher". I think it takes place in Glasgow.

I am listening to the album this came from, "On Avery Island," as I read this. Neutral Milk Hotel's Jeff Mangum definitely has written some tear-jerking lines for many of us. The "but don't hate her when she gets up to leave" line that ends the album "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" often is too emotional for me, and I have to skip it. Too bad, as it's a beautiful ending to an amazing record.

Well done. For those of you who prefer to have something to look at whilst, er, concentrating, on Beyond The Sunrise: I guess I wasn't specific enough about how to see The Gents photos before. Sorry. Go to http://www.egroups.com/files/segundosdeluz/ where you will find two folders full of pictures. (You will also need to sign in to eGroups & join the list.) Staying with The Gents, I've been stumbling through that Spanish interview with Isobel http://www.elfoco.com/El_Foco/Story_Page/1,2388,4_622_33567,00.html & at the end she seems to say that she likes Derek & The Dominos. Whether she's taking the piss or not, she deserves a "Well done" too. Lets hear it for Duane Allman! I would also like to echo James' request: did anyone record TGW on xfm the other evening? If so, I too have B&S goodies to swap for a copy. Last week's concert reports: What Goes Up at Moriarty's (Tuesday, The Clientele) Why do I like The Clientele so much? Perhaps its because they can play really pretty tunes like Saturday or Lacewings yet also do the guitar thrash thing on numbers like 100 Leaves Spiralling or I Had To Say This. Because Alasdair's not afraid to play proper lead guitar and the rhythm section is great too: the drummer achieving a lot by playing little, & superb melodic bass lines like on Fear Of Falling. Anyway they were great again & it was an equal pleasure to see Mr Hopkins grooving with a beatific smile on his face. Soul Dieppoise (Friday, The Pines) All the rage & tension of the week at work & the vexatious Friday evening drive into town evaporated immediately upon stepping into The Bull & Gate to The Pines' opening number. Pretty tunes again, perfectly sung by Pam (& Joe) to enthusiastic accompaniment, the stage all sparkly with tinsel up mike stands & wound around the drum kit, sleigh bells, balloons in the air, Pam tossing Christmas crackers & party poppers into the audience. Magic. At one point Joe mislaid his capo & a replacement had to be sought, a magnificent one being lent him eventually. He said it was so great his strings felt they were being caressed. A Capo di Capi joke hovered over his head for a full minute but was not taken advantage of. The Christmas theme was reinforced by Fortuna Pop!'s mince pies. (Their 8 track Christmas ep featuring The Pines, The Aislers Set, Saloon (er, "Belle and Sebastian played by a cryogenically frozen Stereolab"), etc. is still available for a mere 4 squid I believe.) Other bands played after The Pines but in the true Sinister Camber Sands spirit we acquired a table in the pub & stuck to it. We being Pam, Joe, SteadyMike, Stevie Troussé, Mr (it was his birthday), Sezah, Sally, Lixi, Starry & Carsmile (apologies to anyone I missed) Hmmm. Could nearly have held a Droolz reunion gig. There was an almost picnic too what with the paper hats, mince pies, mint chocolates & the turrón (gracias Maria!), the latter providing a welcome Christmas taste from home for Lupe. Later the young folks danced. Great fun, one personal high point being reached when Stevie sat on my lap. Its too late now to try & remember any more, so I'll go. Awaiting Poxendale reports from Carsmile, Sally, Erica, Big Stu, GlamPam, etc. Love, David Moore Chelmsford, UK +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <003701c0689e$a17fc280$eeca28c3@oemcomputer> Hey hey hey he's back, the boy G, the Enthusiastic Young Lad, the Strange (though never Strange Strange) Child, the teenage poster in waiting, leaving a trail of exclamation marks, naff twee smut and of course much playing of airguitar, making you all feel old with his infectious infectiousness, laydees and gentz, boyz and girlz, we give you... Zak Hanson. Mmmyep. Monsigneur Moore requested a Baxendale gig report, so I shall shall now declare that I don't care about thousands of satisfied audiences and thigh-rubbing film critics, Billy Elliot was, and is, a terrible movie. Thank you. I no longer have a Nirvana poster on my wall, either. [Note to readers, there is quite a lot of back-story prior to the gig. If you wish to skip Greg's bizarre ramblings, please pagedown to the sign of the lollipop. Thank you.] Our story starts as our intrepid hero goes out on Friday, and ends up in the Camden Society Charity Shop (not, actually, in Camden, but in moderately distant Kilburn, wot is near where I live). For an utterly insignificant eight miniscule ones, he slams down on the till not one but two leather jackets, the second of which is a sexy baby-blue colour. Result!, especially as Greg's dress code does not permit him to own two non-under garments of the same colour, which is why he will pay top dollar for purple, orange or pink jeans. He then stays up all night playing a version-of-dubious-legality copy of Call to Power II, because he's secretly a geek, and if you tell him I said that, he'll kill me. Or at least beat me up a bit. The next day he invites all his friends to go and see the band he is unable to express the furkling fantasticness of without swearing profusely, and tells them all to invite their friends, except almost all the girls are skiing somewhere, his oh-so-nearly-girlfriend wants to come but is busy throwing up at home, and so the group ends up really testosterone heavy. Like the jackets, this is important later. At this point there should probably be a paragraph, but I don't like paragraphs, nyah. He then goes to Tower Records to buy a Britney Spears poster because he's just realised he needs one, and while there sees a cyute 'lil Tina S Club doll that has T!W!O! outfits, "sexy eveningwear Tina" and "Althetic live Tina", and it plays a bit of Don'tStopNeverGiveUp when you push a button on the back and he is reminded of the fact that Tim Benton is a very scary man who is far too old to have crushes on members of manufactured pop bands. So he buys it, but the guy at the counter seems dissapointingly unfazed, which is a pity. Anyways, our hero wraps all the lovely Tina goodness in wrapping paper (is anyone else thinking of the episode of Dexters where they get trapped in the Barbie convention, and people chant "Never Removed From Box! NRFB! NRFB!" a lot? And to think that wasn't even among the top episodes. I miss Dexter's so much. I never saw Rainbow Brite.) and somehow arrives an hour early, and on the train sees a boy wearing a genuine B!&!S! badge which is Up!Side!Down! so he comfidently strides up in his black leather jacket and red jeans (Have you seen this man? 56p reward. Not a joke, but you'd have to pay postage on the money. It's a fun whimsical thing to do, though, no? *) and inquires to his Sinister status, and it turns out the dashing young chap is the very Strange Strange David Strange Strange, who is most dinky, and they converse for about half an hour about Walrusses and Edam. And then all of Greg's friends arrive, and Greg talks to them in non-Sinister-type-talk about Nat being a ferkling ferkler and always being late, and kind of ignores David, for which sorry sorry sorry, I meant no harm. Sorry. And then they go in after waiting outside for twenty minutes because the RoTa staff are incontinent or something, and Greg gives the present to Baxendale (using a sheet of official D&C U.G.L.Y notepaper as a label, too) and everyone sits and drinks cheap Turkish booze for two hours. And Greg also buys a Vodka an' Red Bull, because Ken knows his stuff and they are GRATE, and is charged 5 pounds 80 for it, which is ferkling scandolous, butontheotherhand it is an extremely good V&R. And then Greg drunkenly wobbles up to Erica, who has great shoes, and says hi, and introduces himself, and then staggers off to see if Phonograph are a) Still playing (yes) and b) Still shit (oh god yes). So he sits back down and Rota is a nice venue, and considering I haven't even got to to Baxendale yet this is quite probably going to be longest Sinister gig report ever, F!A!M!E!, yayayayay, and so he sits down and slags off Phonograph for a while. And the lollies start playing, and they're quite good, in a kind of: "3 girls? In a band? Riotgrrrrl attitude and inept but stylish punkrawk, right? Well, no, actually, just some quite good, well crafted pop songs. Oh" kinda way, and on the way to the stage I see Erica again, and say drunken things to her, and possibly introduce myself again, and then Alex Baxendale comes along and chats to her, 'cos she's a popstar and so's he, so I bumble off again, and observe that no-one is dancing to the Lollies, even though they're quite good in the aforementioned way, so I barge my way to the third row and jive like an electrocuted monkey for a bit, and they were glad that they are approved of by a drunken young hipster like myself, and let me pick the next song from a hat, I pick Boycrush Pusher, and it's a really good song, actually. So that was good. I am not so good with tenses but oh, to see my Tommy Wrathmell impression! And then the lollies went away, and someone gave me a lollipop and smiled at me, and I said thanks, but it was a yukky lollipop, *sigh*. Then Baxendale came on, and all my friends finally left our hard-won seats to see Baxendale, and the B!A!X! proceeded to play. ~~@ <--This is not a sperm, but a lollipop. Puh-leze, no thanks, we're twee, don'tcha know? They started by saying some stuff, which was cool I'm sure, but I'm too drunk to remember what, and it led to them throwing a Christmas pressie into the crowd, and it was opened, and held up, and revealed to be a Craig David poster! Which led nicely into the opening song, wot was Pull-out Posters, and wot was GRATE, even though it's not one of my faves my any means, so that was good. And then they threw another pressie, which was some microwave popcorn, which of course led to Heat Activated, which is just a ferkling glorious song, and all the friends who liked Gang Starr and Hefner and *ugh* Travis were totally and irreversibly converted to Bax. And then Tim pulled out my Tina box, unwrapped but unopened, and thanked me, and said "Normally I'd unwrap this here, but I wanna get Tina home intact", and then the perviest grin I have ever seen anyone do. And they did Tina Dreams and it was fab, and he sung lots of it to the doll, and you wanna know something really twee? Alex has these little notes on a label on his keyboard, which read something like "Vanessa, joanna, sussana, TINA!" etc so he doesn't forget the lyrics. Mmmyep. And then there was The Beginning of Everything Else, and that was good, too. Mmmyep. I'm getting bored with this level of detail, and I suspect you are too, so I'll just say: Song I Can't Remember American Friend Ghetto Fabulous (Before which they declared that this pressie should go to the boy who'd given them "the Tina Dreams" and gave me an unbelievably cool little keychain thing which plays the whole (yes, the WHOLE) of No Scrubs, when you push a button. Which I love dearly, and will keep on my keys forever. Another Song I Can't Remember Music For Girls Yet Another Song I Can't Remember A Song They Decided Not To Do, As The P.A Was Crap And then the last song was called Christmas Is Great, and here's the twist, it was Summer of Hate, but, ahhhh, changed, so it was this GRATE posistive song, and it rocked. And they gave out these CD-written, all individually hand-autographed by all three of them, CDs, with a touchingly lo-fi take of Christmas is Great on the A-Side and this lovely sadsong that's all the more lovely for the fact that about 50 copies of it exist, called Solo Records, on the B-Side, and everything was generally fab. And a random girl grabbed me, asked if I was the boy who'd made the jacket on the website, and when I admitted I was, she got her Dad to take a photo of us. And I decided not to go to the Sini meetup, 'cos I'd already offended two Sinies, and I didn't fancy offending them all. Yet another sorry to Carsimile and all the rest, wot I missed seeing. So I went and saw The Sixth Day, instead, which is the new Arnie film, and it truly is the worst film I have ever seen. This is not an exagerration, neither was it So Bad It's Good. It was just dire. Want to know know how dire? In the future, the world will be run by evil corporations, who will ban tobacco. Mmmyep. Arnie now looks around 70, as well. I am tired. * Send to: 41 nojunkmailmail.Canfield Gardens London NW6 3JL What else? I used to be Not Listening To Much B&S, but now I'm listening to lots, 'cos I made a B&(k)S compo-CD for a friend, and realised that the Sebby were a sodding mervellous band, and made a copy for me, and it's GRATE.

Message-ID: <3A3E1D31.8453F34@ruskin.ac.uk> oh my aching liver. Christmas, eh? Just an excuse to get pished all weekend i reckon. Unlike Mr Moore, I managed to arrive at the Bull & Gate just in time to see the pines leave the stage, which was a shame, but the rest of the evening was GRATE. Much nattering and discussion of the end of the maker, and certain styooooodents getting (many) drinks bought for them by older men, along with dancing to a rather sub-standard disco, better than no disco though. To add to Dave's list of those in attendance Mr Hopkins and Martini Robinson were also "in tha house". Then it was back to rotherhide in a minicab, discussing the relative merits of madonna, michael jackson and whitney houston with a very friendly driver. Saturday started with a greasy spoon (mmmmmm, bubble and squeak), and then eventually on to Notting Hill, for the Bax (a band who seem to divide this list into lovers and haters, more than any other apart from possibly radi*head). Listees present included The Pinefox, Edna Welthorpe, Mrs, GlamPam, Lixi, Mark Hester, Dafyd Strange, Big Stu (back from peru), The delightful Ms Mcarthur, and, making a comeback more surprising than lazarus, KEVAN COOKE. Later on we were also joined by Sally M and Joey Reynolds. I was also accosted by Paul from Strange Fruit who informed me that they have a picture of me dancing (quelle surprise) at the last Strange Fruit which they are going to put on their website, but which isn't there yet cos i've just had a look. The bax were unfortunately marred by the sound system, which would have shamed a school disco (I blame alan mcgee myself), but the sharing of pressies and free cds with the audience more than made up for it, well that and the eleventeen bottles of Troy (so flavourless, yet so alcoholic). Despite the fact that no one came up to me to claim their prize (a misguided idea of mine in the first place i think), the prizes were still handed out liberally, i gave kisses to a lot of the people who were there**. The good thing about gigs in notting hill for me is i can get on the red bus back to oxford from notting hill gate, thus eliminating the need for late nite pissed up tube journeys, which are never pleasant. **I'd like to point out that these were Hershey's chocolate kisses and not snogs or anything, oh no, that's right out. Then last nite I went to mrs carsmile's xmas work do, which was rather fun, although i may have had one long island iced tea too many... so now i'm going to sit at my desk and do as little as possible this afternoon, then go home and get some sleep. Oh no, i've just remembered I'm meant to be going to see terrorvision tonight, the horror... xoxo CarsmileSteve +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

And he does, really, there are witnesses. Hello Lovely List, Well it's Monday. But it's ok as it is the last one before I fly home for Christmas. Then it will be some days of food, pressies and cuddles until I travel to London in order to get drunk with some fellow listees. Woohoo. I like holidays. The week end was fun. My flatmate got drunk on Saturday night and vomited in the bathroom I had just cleaned. Then on Sunday I finally managed to finish the pressie shopping. And then I had a little pik-nik with Jordi, Mr Peter, and David and Molly (visiting from England and USA, respectively). We had coffee and/or beer and didn't talk about football. We talked about B&S gossips (don't ask me I won't tell you eh eh), so it was funnier than football. At least for me ;) Thanks to Jordi I went to see the Flaming Lips this week. The gig was really good, and pretty funny too as the band spent their time throwing balloons and fake snow at us. You can�t really resist to play with fake snow and balloons, can you? Well at least I can�t. Thanks to our VIP tickets we went after the gig to a little room where we were offered food and wine. I think I was slightly drunk after a little while, so I kept playing in the snow and dancing and I am sure no one noticed ;) Tomorrow night I am having my Xmas dinner with my flatmates. We will eat a lot and drink a lot too, but only good wine and fine champagne, you see. And good food of course, each of us is cooking a part of the dinner. How fun is life with funny flatmates. Oh and also we get little presents :) I like Christmas. I think I like it even more in Barcelona as it is still around 15�c, and all bright and sunny as ever. I hope you are all as excited about as me and that you will have a great great Christmas. Don�t drink-and-drive and take care Elena ______________________________________________ FREE Personalized Email at Mail.com Sign up at http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I'm sure that Stevie's gruff and manly tones would...erm... tear my playhouse down before...erm... karma could be achieved. Thanks to Dave for pointing out that botshot of Isobel, I'm going to have to invest in a bigger monitor to truly appreciate it though. OUR PICNICS ARE BETTER THAN YOUR PICNICS So Jordi phones me up and says there's a listee called Dave in town and I thought "Dave Jigsaw!" and immediately put my red jumper on. It wasn't Dave Jigsaw but we had a GRATE picnic anyway with Dave and Molly. We talked about Mr Godfrey's Black Empire, the peculiarly deranged B&S fanbase, the wisdom of not talking to the press, robots, the foul disgustingness of English coffee, airlines, whether Lego is a countable or an uncountable noun (it's countable in America, would you bloody credit it?), the NME's NME-centric worldview and some other things. A conversation about football was brewing in my head ("so Jordi, what do you think of Barcelona these days?") but I didn't have chance to unleash it. Perhaps it would have felt more urgent if Barcelona had done anything spectacularly bad lately, but they've been almost acceptable. Dave unwittingly made me homesick by using the word "mardy". We were just beginning to get in the swing of things when I had to shoot off and see Nurse Betty. TORTELVIS WILL NOW TALK ABOUT CHRITMAS ALBUM....CHRITMAS ALBUM? The NME website features reviews of the crappy Jeepster Christmas album and The Clientele's gig in wherever it was last Tuesday. They make them sound like a shoegazing band. In fact I think they just took an old review of a shoegazing band and changed the name. But some of you might be interested. You never know.

Anybody wanna buy me a new car for Christmas? I thought not. My ancient Honda died this morning. Things could be worse, I suppose. The lady who almost ran over me as I was walking down the highway shoulder *was* nice enough to move over a few inches to avoid hitting me. And she even stopped and gave me a lift to the nearest phone, apologizing profusely the entire way. Yeah, so ... no more Christmas shopping this year! Afraid all my dough will be going to the mechanic. And the only pressie I've purchased thus far was for my SweetLittleBabyNephew. We saw "Requiem for a Dream" this weekend, and, afterwards, he just *had* to have the soundtrack. Which brings us to the point of this post: Can any of you music addicts tell me anything about Pop Will Eat Itself? I know they've been around for a long time, but I don't recall ever actually listening to them. Clint Mansell has made some lovely, haunting sounds for "Requiem." And, I think he did the music for "Pi," too, which was quite tasty. Guess he must be buds with that Aronofsky fella, eh? Merry Christmas, everybody. (And Happy Hannukah to Eran, if he's still around.) Holiday hugs, Jeanette Personal P.S.s: Hey, Cowboy! I've not forgotten you. I'll write soon. Steve C.: Middle-aged!?! Well, I may be old, but I still have good taste ... and I need your address so I can order that CD. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

So Bax-haters, you should have come along, you couldn't tell what they were playing anyway... (And I didn't get one of the CDs :-( ) After the gig, we adjourned to the nearest pub (obviously), notable for the slowest Guiness service EVER, and sat round a table talking shite (obviously). And Carsmile kept accusing me of being a tart, which I completely deny. After all, I wasn't the one offering kisses to anyone who wanted one... Mmmmm, cheap Turkish beer...

Actually, it's just turned into a soupy mush, but anyways... I've taken some photos of the back of the house, with a view to designing an extension. The design will be some sort of late extra present for my parents. Away from the 'let's take the shortest easiest cheapest way to keep a client happy and get the fees coming in even if the fees are utterly lousy anyway', I hope to design something that, even if it doesn't get built, I'm actually proud of, for a change. In Glasgow yesterday, I re-visited the exhibition about Scottish Pop currently running in the city's architecture/design centre, and spent 45 mins watching an old BBC Scotland documentary all about Belle and Sebastian. It was great seeing the various members of the band in almost real life. There is this conception that they're twee and geeky, but I thought they looked and sounded like a perfectly normal bunch of Glaswegians. Their shyness is nothing unusual here, and I'd say that together they comprise a wider spectrum of personality types than their media image would imply. There was a thread of cute comic-strip animations describing the development of the band, which reminded me of the little gif animations on the sinister website. I was lying in bed awake all night mentally piecing together how to go about producing such things myself on paintshop pro... it looks time consuming, if you imagine the number of frames involved, and requires a different thought process than that for stills. Strangely, when the alarm sounded at 07:15 after no sleep, I switched it off and almost immediately fell into a semiconcious dream-state. The dream sequences were so hilarious to me I kept bursting out laughing, suppressing this only to see another bizarrely comic sitation, animated, of course. You had to be there, though... the fact that someone at a supermarket check-out buying 200 boxes of chocolate cup cakes is only the most funny thing in the world in a certain state of mind. There was also a bit that was a confusion between a live pop performance in a little stone-walled basement room with an empty swimming pool behind the stage, from which the performer had to be constantly rescued and a raid by the police who find, in an adjoining basement a single CD beneath a barred window and the concert promotors throw their heads up in the air chorusing 'not again'. Weird, but so funny, like the exact opposite of a nightmare. Talking of madness, I went to see the new film version (new to the UK, that is) of Hamlet. 'To be or not to be' is just such a brilliant and totally meaningful soliloquy. The artsy fartsy language may take a few minutes to get the hang of if, like me, you're relatively unfamiliar with Elizabethan English. You'll soon get the gist. It's also fun spotting both phrases and people that have become part of our everyday language, such as (I'd say this as an architect manque)[I was about to quote something along the lines of 'I could live in a nutshell and proclaim myself a King of infinite space, were it not that I had bad dreams' but I've searched for over an hour in the text of the play and can't find it] 'I must be cruel only to be kind' ; 'Get thee to a nunnery'; Ophelia, floating in the pool as in the famous pre-raphaelite painting; or Rosencrantz and Guildenstern [are dead: was that not a broadway play/musical?]. I suppose the rest of you all learn'd this at school... Makes me enthusiastic, though. I'm nae mad, honest!

It's probably a very poor idea, like my rude christmas carol idea, which went down like "Family Tree" at a Metallica convention, but mummies make suggestions, so I'm going to suggest it anyway. If you all think it's a stupid idea just mutter "stupid!" dismissively, stomp out the house and go and play with those bad kids who hang out down the street outside the cinema, spitting and swearing and throwing pebbles at the nice old lady at no. 23. But remember, your tea's at 6 o'clock and I expect you to wash your hands, young lady. The idea was that we're a very visual lot, what with your frightening/lovely bodyparts, baby pictures, and Laura Molloy's lovely cartoons which give the intentionally (ahem) retro-style Sinister website some sense of coherence and style. So what better than to have an appointed Sinister Illustrator who brings to life a topical incident posted to the list once a week! The bearer of the title would scour the list archives each week and pick a mail and bring it to life in graphic form! If it's kinky, hopefully *very* graphic form. And I'd make a web page for them all. Haven't you ever wanted to see Peter Miller losing his mind at a 70's Who convention? Oon abusing an elephant? JenOwl chasing Bob the Wasp for a kiss? George Henry Dickie doing up his pants? Velocity Kalli giving little Spooky a ride on her scooter? Mark Casarotto being "faggy but nice"? I know I do. I can't draw for toffee so I thought I'd ask if one of you could? If anyone who *can* draw and thinks they might like to, and (important this) thinks they can stick around for some time and scrawl a JPG to email me every week from the list without being nagged, then send me a picture from one of last week's mails. Or fortnight, be honest if a week is too often for you, I wouldn't want to cause cramp. I'd prefer it to be just one person who could take this on for at least a few months rather than lots, because lots of different illustrators might make us look a bit like someone wearing a Gucci frock and a baseball cap, n'est-ce pas, innit? Send me something by Christmas and I'll pick an impartial team of judges (i.e. whoever I can find in the #sinister chat channel when I pop in) to make a decision, and probably pop all the entries on a web page too. You will then be Miss or Mr (or Ms! or Mrs! or Dr! or Mx! you choose!) Sillustrator and worthy of an email account "sillustrator at missprint.org" which points to an email address of your choosing. (this is the bit where I start to worry that no-one will send anything and I'll look silly, and think about not even sending this mail) (this is the bit where I think "oh go on, they'll forget it exists and you can just keep quiet if no-one mails you") (this is the bit where I remember the archives) While I'm on the subject of the archives, I want to make a point about them. When you're 70, and lonely and sad, I want to assure you that if the web still exists in some capacity, http://www.missprint.org/sinister will still get you to the archives. Your voices may be dry and tired by then, Sinister may have fallen quiet, we may have fried each other in a massive nuclear flaming war, but missprint.org will still be there unless the post-apocalyptic world council stops me. This has a bad side too, you will have to read your own posts from when you were wee, and this may be painful for some (like me), but I believe this to be a cathartic experience so administer the medicine with great relish. I hate the way message boards and archive sites are just removed when they've outlived their active lives, and it won't happen here. Words are precious, and seem to become more so as time passes. Oh, and you'll still get an ecstatic reply from honey at missprint.org in the year 2040 or so (rapid life expectancy calculation) so store up those mails! That's why Miss Print bought her own domain. She's not sure you can trust someone with an advert in their hand. Think I've nailed those Josh Baze "out of office" replies now. Better shh. Keep sparkling.

Message-ID: Hello :) After seeing some of the other list member's after pop sensation Baxendale (who I missed due to damn work) on Saturday night (hello Steve, Pam, Stuart and the wonderful Mr Trousers [so far my very favorite list member... Who I would like to thank for the drink's, even if he did somehow manage to mistake me asking for Lemonade as Bacardi and Cola! ;)] and I think some other's, but I don't remember name's, one man left cigarettes though, yay!) I said my intension was to become a more active list member... So here I am. With a post... I actually have nothing interesting to tell you all. I moved to London a couple of month's ago. I have had fun, but seeing as my best friend who used to live in London but has now moved to Iceland (!) it is not as much fun as it was when I used visit. It also cost's a lot of money. Of which I have none. And is full of scary people. Who all seem to talk to me. And it involves having a crap job* which I hate. And also has horrible mean homeless people who trick you they have been in a fight with a really mean boyfriend who drove off with their money and then when you don't give them a tenner they chase you with a dog until the bouncer of a club chases her away... The last sentence may have been a one off event... Anyway. I am going to go back to sunny Milton Keynes to play with the concrete cow's. :) My decision is (almost) final. So, a bit of Belle and Sebastian news for you all. It excited me anyway... ;) I went to "Trash" with the delightful Nadia (a secret list member I suspect... She deny's it though!! [Hiya Nadia, if your there!!]) and she introduced me to a Californian boy who played guitar with Stuart Murdoch last week in a church in Glasgow. I think the story was something like he just bumped into him and they just ended up playing together!! It's alright for some, the lucky monkey. ;) I can't remember details as I had had a tiny bit too much to drink. I think Stevie had given me a taste for the old Rum and Coke! I have just remembered a good thing about London!! It is called "easyEverything" and it is this wickedy internet cafe which is huge and really cheap! I am there now!! It costs a pound, and the least time you get is an hour! (It could be anything up to six, depending on the time and how busy it is!) Down point's to this place do exist, however... 1) It really should only ever cost me a pound, but always's costs me more... I get tempted by the coffee, which keep's me awake, so then I buy more computer time, which lead's to more coffee... 2) Stupid phone ring's are everywhere.** 3) There are so many noisy people... "JUST SHUT UP! I AM *TRYING* TO TYPE!!" I don't ever really do that, maybe I should... 4) I just saw someone type "Hello my darling love" at the beginning of an email.

Message-ID: What! Nobody remembers Furniture? Ah well... Well, I'm sitting here in the office drinking Budvar (a present from our avuncular boss, playing Santa for the afternoon) and doing very little else coz the server's down. See, even computers can get into the Yuletide spirit if they really try. A good time to look back over the year and, before you groan, I don't mean assess the state of the trains or climate. 2000 has been not just GRATE but the GRATEST in a sinisterish sorta way, being the year I discovered the joys of picnicking, in Greenwich (twice), Oxford and Primrose Hill (well *almost* in the last case, so I only made it to the Spread Eagle, it still counts). What a year for gig-going too...Stereolab, super furries (both in Toronto); Tompaulin; Sodastream; Lollies and Baxendale last Saturday (pity about the sound, but still very memorable). Hey but next year's going to be even better! A chance to find out whether strangefruit London is as good as strangefruit Oxford used to be for example. And I really must visit Glasgow... We're connected again and I'm getting dirty looks, so after that brief hiatus it's back to the grindstone. Before I go though....if anyone knows of anything going on in Londinium for New Year's Eve (this is the REAL millennium New Year's after all) then e-mail me privately. I'm going to sleep all over Christmas (that's the way I feel anyway) but I should be hitting the ground running come the 31st.

Speaking of that, O Come O Come Emmanuel (blessings to you, Tape Fairy ) is just beautiful! That voice, that voice...mmm shivers delightful shivers. Even Papa, church organist, thought it was 'very cool' of them to pick that. While at a Casino for the first time, I was so lucky to be sitting across from a boy who has intrigued me for months now, for the sole reason that he is the exact double of Struan, yes, creamy-sweet-vanilla-flavoured Struanne-- anyways, as it had been bugging me for so long, I blurted out "Are you Scottish? Its just that, umm..." Well in fact he was Scottish, and he wanted to know why I asked. "It's just that you look exactly like a lead singer from this band.." And what band would that be? "Oh, Belle & Sebastian." Them! My friend back home loves them. "Reaalllly..." I shall have to make him a tape now, won't I. I have a new job...selling knives and gardening tools in strange houses. I'm a bit scared, maybe if Belle & Sebastian wrote a song about it, I would have strength and courage. I want to be like a sexy-librarian salesgirl. Thick glasses and hair that can be unleashed with the quick removal of a single pencil! Pencil skirt, stockings and a pair of pumps. Oh, Constable! I love the sillustrations idea. "If it's kinky, hopefully *very* graphic form" -- Lil' Honey Precious Pink Princess Note that she said this. Yet she denies the lambasting of the kinky whip that IS in the archivees. I think that should be the first illustration. Or maybe the Runion Boy in a pool of raspberry jam which involves lots of giggling, posing, and uncoordinated body movements. Snowy JenOwl wrote a bit about how she kissed people who needed to be kissed because kissing was so nice and isn't she right. I hope though, Jen, that people do not take advantage of your kind nature, like the BOYS with the writhing snake-demon tongues. Maybe you could be super nice and show them the way, and then have a fleet of them, to kiss whenever you wanted to. I'm still traumatized from my first and only combination game of Strip Poker/Spin The Bottle in grade 4. Not as demented as it sounds, we put on extra scarves and rings and things.

Press "Del" now if you want to. This post doesn't have anything useful in it. Strange how some things always come together in big packages of sensation, feeling and smell. Christmas, especially. For me, Christmas is never the smell of pine needles, it's the smell of the plastic christmas tree which my family has had for twenty years. The smell always fills up the house by the day after it has been erected. Now, IYFS is also a christmassy thing. Four years ago, I bought a copy of IFYS because all the reviews of it were *grate*. I didn't have a CD player at the time, so a couple of weeks later, when I went to visit the parents for Christmas I took it with me. I know there was all that discussion about "well, it's the least-best B+S record", but I still think it's wonderful and a little bit seasonal. I am recovering at my parents' house from the horrible stress that is Christmas shopping. It's far too much work. Admittedly, I am an incompetant misfit who never manages to look after himself properly, but Christmas is worse than normal. I did manage to get my Sinister-Presents bought and shipped, but they will never get there on time. If you are meant to be receiving a present from me (although, of course you don't know who you are) then I apologise in advance. The second I sent said presents, I started panicking that you won't like them, or you'll take what I wrote the wrong way, so I'm apologising in advance for that as well. As usual, earlier today I had *loads* to say, and now I've forgotten it all. Hmmmmmm. I also had *loads* to say yesterday, but I felt dead depressed yesterday and so I didn't send any of it. I didn't clean my flat for a week, had an unexpected visit from the landlord (who accidentally made the cat sit outside all day) and am now scared I'll be evicted, especially as the landlord hasn't previously seen the large holes the cat has made in the wallpaper. I'll stop talking about that, because I'll get depressed again. Anyway, it's off-topic. Good things about visiting parents: digital TV, which means I get to watch the Powerpuff Girls. Bad things: having to live in Grimsby. If anyone else on Sinister lives in Grimsby, *do* let me know, because I would like to be reassured that it isn't *entirely* an island of Hard Kids listening to euro-dance in cheap nightclubs before glassing each other on Cleethorpes seafront. Ahhh ... home. I *really* have run out of things to say now. I'll stop before I end of rambling about sheep. Baaaa. Taraa, folks.

Watch out girls, he'll chew you up! Stephen may be outwardly alluring, but underneath he is a ruttish swine, somewhere between Nigel Havers in 'The Charmer' and Ian Beale in Eastenders' New Year's Eve special last year. > Mr Pinefox is actually a fox but he doesn't have a tale! Oh but he does. Hundreds of them. Many of them draw on his singular vision of pop history and involve postmodern tricks. I must ask the man on the Clapham omnibus what he thinks of them. And then I'll ask my wife or servant. Bus freaks should read Bill Drummond's '45'. He does a bit of a Murdochesque geekwank fantasy over them at one point. It's a good book, actually, although the returns on reading investment are diminishing slightly as I near the later chapters. I feel very lucky to have had a friend who actually wanted it for her birthday, so I could buy it and borrow it back. I know picking on poorly written and informed reviews of bands is a bit of a sport for men too lazy to play ping pong, especially if English is not the author's first language, but have a look at this! It's a gas: http://www.slip.net/~scaruffi/vol6/belleseb.html The review of 'Fold Your Hands Child' is the crowning achievement, I think. But the obsession with bizarre track-by-track comparisons in the 'Tigermilk' one is great too. It almost seems to be parodying the rock review process itself. I'm sure Stephin Merrit will be thrilled to learn that Belle & Sebastian are considered to be 'a slightly more erudite version of Magnetic Fields'. Can I just say how much I love the version of 'O Come O Come Emmanuel'. I've only just heard it and I think it's magical. You can tell it's coming from people who understand the church, like Genevieve's Papa. A good sign is the way they have an odd house style on the pronounciation of 'Israel'. Our choirmistress used to do similar things with 'angels' (ain-gells) in 'O Come All Ye Faithful'. Talking of 'O Come All Ye Faithful', have Cosmo used that on their Christmas cover again this year? I do hope so. Louise Davies, are you still reading this? I think I saw you in the lift this morning. I caused a commotion.

I was a little bit depressed, cause I had a limp, owing to James the Ginger perv throwing me on the floor, when he tried to make me get off with him (again), and I got to feeling a bit sorry for myself, but I'm ok now. And he didn't mean it really. Yesterday I had the funnest time. I bought a bag of gold foil wrapped chocolate coins. I gave one to all my friends, then I decided that the christmas shoppers looked too sad. So I picked the most depressing looking ones, and I bounced out in front of them, and said "Here is a shiny gold coin to brighten up your day". And it worked, they were all really happy, after I'd given them it. But I never got any chocolate to eat, which was the reason I'd bought them in the first place. Today was a mad day. I dogged school, cause it was the last day of term. When I woke up, I put on LLPJ, and bopped about while I was washing my hair. That is such a grate EP to wash hair to. Then I met up with my friend, and I was wearing rainbow coloured fishnet tights, and she was wearing purple ones. When i got off the bus, she was standing holding up a sign saying 'Jimmy Jew' on it, with Nazi signs and stars of david on them, and all the old ladies were giving her filthy looks. Because Jimmy is what the kids at school call me, and she says I'm a jew. So i laughed and hugged her. So we went to Burger King, but I didn't eat anything, cause I'm a vegetarian. But Debs, the blonde, had cheap wine, badly disguised in a Dr Pepper bottle, which she'd been drinking all day in school (cause she went) and we got a bit tipsy. Then James the ginger perv came in with some friends, and they were annoying me, so I got my whip out and they ran away, and everyone there clapped and I curtseyed. So after a bit we met them again and I got my whip out, again under extreme provocation. So I ended up chasing James the Ginger Perv through the town for a bit with the whip, but not to hit him or anything. I chased him cause he ran. Anyway, he got really mad, and ran into Tie Rack (you know the really pokey shops that sell about five ties and they're all like a million pounds each) and (and this is the kick, when you consider how many times this guy has tried to force himself on me and I've not said a thing) he told the shop assistant to call the police, and he was wetting his pants. So the police came, and Debs and I spent the next couple of hours hding under a table in the library drinking cheap wine, hoping not to get arrested :) Oh, but the end of term is fun. Oh, and another new development. I have a maybe sort of boyfriend. It's pretty good, cause he doesn't hit me. Yet. I get that a lot from boyfriend and girlfriends. I have scars and things, I always pick the violent ones. Though not all of them have been violent. I'm just generalising here. Maybe we'll end up back on the hitting me = erotic thing. It's my constant downfall. On a happy note, it's nearly yuley/christmassy/hannukah time, and I'm full of festive cheer. OH! And I nearly forgot the bst part! The ever-lovely Ian Hatcher from Sinister is coming to live with me for a whole four days. I'm giving up my bed for him and everything, and we're going into glasgow to get baned and see in the bells. We might celebrate Hogmanay, but he thinks it's in February and that we Scots all have haggis farms. Ssh, I didn't tell you that. Speaking of that, is there anything doing, sinster-wise in glasgow for the new year? I was thinking 13th note, I've heard they've got somthing on, but I don't know.

Get "Blue Valentines" and "Nighthawks At The Diner". The first has a scarily low cover of "Somewhere" from West Side Story and the second is a live LP recorded a few years before "Blue Valentines". Waits does these surreal introductions to most of the songs, talking about ham and carrots and the dish running away with the spoon. And fog, that sort of stuff. Also, make these part of your post-Christmas non-b&s buying sprees: "Harvest" by Neil Young, Bob Dylan's soundtrack to "Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid" and PJ Harvey's new one (I forget what it's called). Unreal Tournament: not only is it the best computer game ever, but it is totally the opposite of Belle & Sebastian. Futuristic, thrashy, violent and hi-tech. How come I like both is beyond me. I take it that's enough content.

I'm quite tired from Christmas, it's one of the worst times of the year, people are horribly crude, vicious, rude for the spirit of giving. If everyone made someone something, instead of buying presents, it'd be so much more meaningful. The cost idea of christmas has been embedded in the minds of everyone, and parents encourage it on their children. Christmas has now become, "what would _____ need, that we could get him any other time of the year" instead of "what would ______ love and remember as something meaningful and thoughtfilled". Today, I got the most meaningful present from a stranger. This woman came into my work and asked for a cd, and we didn't have it. she was from out of town and said "i'll have to come back during christmas and bring it to you, you might like it". i took it as one of those polite gestures that someone wouldn't follow through on. Today, she came in and gave me Mary Margaret O'Hara (sister of Catherine O'Hara from SCTV) both are brilliant. I also got Lucious Jackson, Drugstore and Tori Amos. I just became a recent b&s fan last june. i found out about them through my neighbour, who has now moved away. He gave me TBWTAS and i fell in love. I hope someday they come to canada to play, i don't know if it'll ever happen, so i might just have to move to see them. well, thank you for your patience, everyone have a wonderful holidays, whatever you may believe in. cheers Ian __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Message-ID: Christmas Day! Oh it's that time of year again when Humbert Humbert slides into his fuzzy red suit, straps on the thick black belt, and lays in wait for the young girls to come a climbing on his lap to give his beard a tug...... Now, isn't that the kind of Christmas thought that feels you with the warm fuzziness of holiday cheer and bad egg nog stomach cramps? I realize y'all expect me to be in Whoville at the moment but instead I'm suffering from a bout of insomnia. Perhaps it's excitement not for tomorrow morning but because I watched one of my FAVORITE movies tonight - Goonies. Oh it's the best! Anyway, I hope you will excuse me if I sneak in and post while y'all are busy doing the tango with tarty sugar plums. I quite like Christmas but then again I'm not the type to be opposed to anything which caters to my avarice. So, I say - Bring it Awn, Fat Boy! .. Not that he does. Every year I ask for a boy for the holidays and every year I'm bitterly disappointed when there's no one waiting for me under the tree. You would think the big guy would at least be able to spare an Elf but Noooooooo. I can at least say that Sinister has come through for me seeing as I got my x-change presents last night. I hadn't been home in a few days and it was nice to come back to a pile of packages to open. Rumor has it that Princess Honey is a good girl and doesn't open any of her gifts until Christmas Day. However, us peons can afford to show no self restraint and rip presents open as soon as we get them. I must say that I'm now in love with a girl from Oklahoma who sent me an absolutely a box full of goodies including a beautiful mug, herbal tea (mmmm), and a wonderful wonderful mix tape. Plus, I got a kicking Sinister/B&S shirt with some foxes (what else would it feature?) on it. Add that to my delights from Mr. Matthew (who is going to seranade me with "Get it on" soon) and I'm one happy lil' lolita. So, Thank You to all the listees who contributed to my little orgy of greed and many thanks to Joan of Dark for taking the time and energy to organize it all. That was very wonderful indeed! Merry Christmas & a Happy Llewd Year -- Little Llew Whew? PS - If anyone in the states has caller id which is not on a cell phone, would you be willing to do me a small favor for which I would be ever so grateful? Its really quite simple but I need it quite badly and no one I know has caller id. If you can help, just e-mail me. I would appreciate it immensely! _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

But as it's my first time posting, i'll add a couple of lines that most of you probably won't read because most of you probably have better things to do on Christmas day... oh well. WHY NOT BEFORES Hi. I really meant to post long ago, when i first got out of the nursery a couple of months ago... but what happened was this: I sent off a wonderful long witty(in my dreams) introductory post... in coded HTML. What can i say? I am computer-retarded. Anyways, after that i was just too damn lazy to write it all out again, and then along came midterms and i let my email go down the drain for a few weeks... came back to 500 new messages. And, as i didn't want to post not knowing all the current and relevant and crazy stuff, i decided to catch up on all the past posts, which has taken me a long long long time. Ah well, that's what christmas vacation is for, eh? MY SPARKLING SELF Sooo... my name is Rachel, i'm 17. I live in the smelly crowded dorms of the University of Victoria usually, but at the moment i'm freezing my bum off in the yukon. No, we don't live in igloos, yes, we have running water.. but i like to fit the stereotypes,so i went dogsledding yesterday (for the first time!) It was tons of fun except for the frostbite. CONTENT It is so lovely just to sit at the fireplace with a rum and eggnog and stuart murdoch singing fox in the snow... i imagine my parents are counting the moments till i board the plane back to uni so they won't have to hear belle & sebastian again for another three months. My brother is equally antsy - his tastes run more to eminem et al. Content may also be awaiting me under the tree- t-shirts and badges graced my wishlist! NON-CONTENT A very merry christmas and a happy new year to all you wonderful people whose posts i have enjoyed so much even if i read them all about three weeks late!

And yet. Laura Llew cheered folks up by saying things like >>> I realize y'all expect me to be in Whoville But surely, Llaura, only Peter Miller lives in Whoville. >>> Every year I ask for a boy for the holidays and every year I'm bitterly disappointed when there's no one waiting for me under the tree. It's a shame. Maybe you should ask the boy for a holiday, or ask for a holiday for the boys, or ask the holidays for a boy? On. The air is enough to crack one's cheeks. Fireworks explode somewhere. The other night I thought, absurdly, that fireworks were going off to mark the onset of Christmas Eve. Yet it was 23 December, 23:45. The notion was silly. The point really in hand, or at issue - a back issue of Melody Maker, I think, from February 1990; Mrs Welthorpe knows what I mean - is something else that the geezer Miller would understand. It's this. Lloyd Cole has just released his greatest LP since 'X'. That's what it sounds like so far. But I've been wrong before, as far as I know. It might just be the best since Love Story. At this stage we don't know. No, there are no absolutes even in Lloyd Ccole, for some of his material has been underpar. I read somewhere that Bad Vibes contained 'bad disco'! (I'm not sure, if truth be told, that it contains disco.) But the one absolute is that at the end of it all, Lloyd will be singing like Lloyd, and cruising, and taking it easy, with someone chiming in the background, and he'll sound better than anything has for at least 20 minutes. And probably more. A deal more, as Barry Davies might put it. It's a Marshmallow World, the world of Lloyd Cole. The night is silent.

Insert your religious/astronomical festival of choice above. If you don't want to read an almost-completely content-free post, skip the following. If you *do* want to kill some time (or brain cells), read on. CONTENT! Right at the top of my stocking this christmas was the Jeepster christmas compilation CD-thingy, complete with "O Come O Come E......." [check speeling]. Like all B&S songs, this is truly grate; I put it on auto-repeat throughout Christmas day, much to the annoyance of the family. My mother insisted in singing along, which probably means that she liked it --- or, at least, that she remembered the words. In fact, that song .. lovely melody and all ... is completely *cake* because it combines two incredibly cake things: B&S and Christmas! I prefer minor keys, you know. The rest of the CD is also good (hey, I like listening to almost *anything*), but it hardly compares to !B!&!S! I was a *bit* annoyed that the St. Etienne song was one I already have, though. NOT CONTENT! Coming back home for Christmas reminds me of all the things I was going to do when I was younger. When I was a teenager, I was going to be a Famous Writer, and I've been going through all the truly grate books I was going to write. I had *piles* and *piles* of ideas, and I really should take the time to write some of them. I was going to write about a writer who wanted to write a book about love, but ended up killing herself because she had ruined the love-life of someone else years before. Then, I was going to write a book about a group of men who started to make fake crop circles and found that it changed there lives. Finally, I was going to write a book about two little children who at night would creep into the back of their wardrobe and listen to the distant, muffled voices of whatever grownups they could hear. Their house was haunted (well, they *believed* it was), and when it was dark at night it would be taken over by little goblins who moved things around and took over the christmas tree, climbing up and down the tinsel strings. The voices they heard may have been their parents, or may have been their future selves. Since then, i've added little details to this outline to make it more Sinister in tone. Their milk comes from the Tiger Dairy, and every so often they look outside and watch a cat sniff round the postman's van. I should write that book; it would have been cake. INCONTENT! (you can see where this is going, can't you?) cake ("cake") 1 n. Yummy food, usually baked. 2 v. to cover thickly 3 adj. Absolutely wonderful; grate; the best thing ever. [extract from the "Princess Honey Dictionary of Wonderfully Bisotic Words", Sinister University Press.] INCONTINENT! I have had a truly cake christmas that is also heartbreaking. Well, actually, I had a truly cake night out on Christmas Eve that was also heartbreaking. It's a long story, so bear with me, or just go away. A few years ago, now, I was at school. I was a teenager, and I was in love. Incidentally, if *you* are on the list, and *you* recognise *you*rself, then stop reading cos we'll both be embarassed. As I was saying, I was in love with this girl --- along with several other boys I knew --- but she didn't requite any of us, and so we were all lonely. Now, after a few months, I had to go into hospital for a couple of days. I decided it was time Something Had To Be Done, and so the day before I went I wrote her a letter saying just how grate I thought she was; I wrote it in photography class, writing with one hand and developing a reel of negatives with the other. On the way home, I posted it, and the next day I was in hospital to have my teeth pulled, which meant I wouldn't have to face *her* just after she had received this awfully embarassing letter. Anyway, nothing. Then, a few weeks later, *she* replied! *she* didn't want to go out with me. *she* liked me as a friend. *she* understood if i didn't reply to my letter, but *she* would reply if I did, as long as we kept it secret! So, once a week for the next few months, we would write letters to each other, sending them first class, and telling each other our deepest secrets. At least, I told her mine, and I assume that *she* told me *hers*. Nobody at school knew about this, and although we were often talking, with other people, we never gave anything away. Anyway, this was one of the closest friendships I have had, and it went on for about eight or ten months. In the holidays, we would meet up, or I would phone *her*, and at school we would keep it all to ourselves. Then, suddenly, one of our mutual friends introduced her to A Man. After that, she stopped replying. *She* said that *she* didn't want him to find out. *She* said that *she* didn't want him to think that *she* had a close male friend. And that was the end of it. We left school, and *she* moved house, and I've not heard of or from *her* since. That was four or five years ago. Until, however ... on Christmas Eve, I went round to an old friend's for dinner. There were only a few of us, and most had known *her*, and then one of them said that she was supposed to be meeting *her* in the pub later on. We had said, we might go into the town later, and I had been vaguely against, but now I tried to be subtlely *for*. I probably wasn't that subtle, because I was already quite drunk. So anyway, we went into the town, and we couldn't find *her*. Five minutes before my other friends were *definitely* going home, we finally found *her* and her sister in a pub. She was as lovely as ever, and we didn't even have time to talk properly. I said hello, waved goodbye; she saw i was waving, and waved in return. And that was it. I'd been thinking recently about trying to trace her and get back in touch, but I didn't want anybody to know. I might never see *her* again. The only way I could get back in touch would be by asking round all our mutual friends, who would therefore Suspect Something. *she* was, and is, lovely. *she*'s probably not therefore the one for me. Sorry for telling you. This is down for posterity, now. Normal service shall be resumed shortly. Go and eat some cake; you deserve it.

Message-ID: <52.51c0797.277aa555@aol.com> I woke up this morning, much in the fear of getting up. I fell asleep on the couch while watching the mindless boredom chatter of the television... again. I left all my cds at a friend's house, along with my address book, which forbids me to call any of my friends or listen to anything other than the crap they play on the radio. Thus I turn to my only other salvation, the television. When you are awake at three o'clock in the morning, not many people appreciate being talked to, and not many shops appreciate being shopped at. With my hamster as my only companion, I flip through channels and look at odd web sites online. Please, someone, go *kill* Britney Spears or one of those blondes singing on the radio... My friend and I came up with another weird list of questions, one of which is: Explain why good songs should forever be banned from being remade by blonde-haired, blue-eyed female singers. Actually, male singers as well. Aghhh... That would be the clock naggin at me to get moving. Someone ban those alarm things....... +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I have been lurking for quite a long time and I decided to finally join in with this first post the day after Christmas, since I can finally relax a bit...see, I was at college and then came home to my old job at a chocolate factory and as you can imagine, X-mas is a very hectic time of the year...anywho*~*--content--I've been listening to B&S for about 3+ years now and they can do no wrong in my opinion. Maybe I'm easy to please, but I've loved (almost) everything that I've heard from them...I keep discovering the subtle beauty of B&S everytime I listen... Received a lovely B&S tee-shirt for the holiday and I can't wait to wear it--however, it's too cold right now and so if I wear it, it would have to be under a sweater:(*~* Trying to decide what to do for New Years...anyone in the NY area want to have a party??? I've had quite interesting experiences the past few years, and I think I'd prefer to keep this year a little more low-key. Nothing that will provoke police officers to break in and such. Well, I'm off to shower away this chocolate smell that doesn't want to leave my flesh-- Maren ===== ***hOw ScAnDiNaViAn oF mE*** __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I thought missed the food of the wonderful city very much, but it is looking like that is not the case, and i was only longing for something familiar. I also forgot to bring my giant cd book with me so I am deprived of Belle and Sebastian, along with all my other music. So I am stuck with my family watching episodes of evangelion i have on VCD. Which is a very esoteric Japanese cartoon which involves a bizarre interpration of christianity, the sadness that lurks in any good anime, and of course robots fighting. I still cannot figure out why I am amused by the series so much. Finals burnt me out, but that is the life of a student. The nice thing is there is now an ice skating rink on the town green in the small new england town i live in, so i can ice skate during the long winter in vermont. But that is when i take a plane back to vermont. Sorry about the dry post... Oh if anybody on sinister knows of something fun to do in chicago on new years other than see the flaming lips please email me. Chris P. ===== www.mp3.com/sevenstars So many days pass lost in the skyline.

GHope it was nice for everyone, or not actually traumatic. For some reason I always feel a little depressed on Christmas day. It was quite a strange day ... I went to a midnight church service on Christmas eve (highly recommended, even if you're not "that way inclined", so to speak) and halfway through "O Come O Come Emmanuel" I realised I was singing in a very affected, Stuart Murdoch-esque voice. Which was quite funny ... esentially inging a B&S song in church. I woke up the next morning depressingly early (summer here, light at 5:30am etc) and watched "The Filth and the Fury" on video while my parents were at their scary, vaguely fundamental church service (as opposed to my vaguely limp wristed, bleeding heart church full of academics and artists). Then I went to Vanessa's (girlfriend) for Christmas lunch, and was a little embarassed by the fact that most of her family bought me presents, and I only bought her a present, and no one else. opps ..... I got a set of Indianna Jones videos (surely the best series ever) and some music/book vouchers. I managed to kinda out do her ... by buying her a boxed set of *TEN* Alfred Hitchcock videos. No self interest there of course ...... Apart from the fact I hadn't seen most of the videos in the set, and really wanted to .... hmmm. Yesterday I got *seven* CDs, which was prety cool. In the mail, from Amazon.co.uk came "Suburban Light" by The Clientele (more on that later), and the Peel Session albums by Joy Division and New Order. I then went out and bought "John Wesley Harding" and "Nashville Skyline" by Bob Dylan, along with "Mental Notes" by Split Enz, which was recently namedas "the best New Zealand album ever made". I kinda figure I needed to own it, being a huge local music fan, and hell, it was only $10 (about US$4.00) which is a riciculously cheap price to pay for a CD. And then I bought the Badly Drawn Boy album a few hours later because it was on special. Right ... back to ... *** THE CLIENTELE *** The album sounds great .... really lovely, and not nealry like B&S, apart from the fact they are quite mellow and laid back and summery etc. Anyway ... is it actually their debut album, or just all their singles etc? Anyone care to fill me in a bit more about them ... I didn't really know anything, and just bought the album because a few people on the list had mentioned them. And also .... *** AMELIA FLETCHER *** she who does the sublime backing vocals on "We Love The City" by Hefner. I seem to recall someone saying she is/was was in a band/bands called "Tallulah Gosh" and/or "Marine Research" .... or something. Can anyone *please* tell me more about her, what is available, what I need to own etc., because I am besotted ....... Anyway, I'd better go. Have a great new year everyone ......

I spent christmas day down the forest, it was truly fab, until I found that someone had drawn satanist symbols all over the trees near my special place, where I go to read and things, and talk to the trees. It made me want to cry. For christmas people gave me things, which was awfully nice of them, since I'm not big on christmas (though I bought people Winter presents instead). I got quite a lot of book tokens, which means people don't know what a party animal I really am. My best presents were Buffy the Vampire Slayer videos, and Final Fantasy 8, and a real sized lightsaber, and candles. With my book tokens I bought spellbooks. Also people gave me perfume, which is a bit useless, since I don't wear it. I might have to start. It's snowing! But I nearly got snowed in all last night at my friend's house, but it was grate, cause I just snuggled up on the sofa with my maybe boyfriend, and I was all warm, and everyone had fun talking about silly things. Which is the best kind of fun. And winter is such a lovely sleepy time. I had a panic today in the forest, because I went out and I wasn't bundled up enough, because I was getting away from my brother, who is a sadist animal torturer homophobe nazi (and he's only 13) and I fell down a hill and nearly into the waterfall, but just not, and I was quite funny feeling, so I couldn't get up at all, and I was just lying there for about an hour, feeling really odd, and I got a bit numb and my hands hurt from all the snow, and I managed to get home eventually, but it was very scary indeed. Someone told me this joke: How many babies does it take to tile a roof? Depends how you slice them. Winter Whatevery is my new B&S theme song, because it's all snowy, and I miss Stuart David, because Looper aren't nearly as grate. I have to go now.

Me and my friend the cat are sitting here looking out the window being dazzled by the sun reflecting off the snow in the back garden (which only arrived a couple of days late). Still, though. No cataracts or hurricanoes. My web researcher tells me that there is a Michael Shelley album called "Too Many Movies" out soon (15.01.01?) on Francis Macdonald's Shoeshine Records which has Stevie & Chris playing on it. More info here: http://www.shoeshine.co.uk/index.htm This holiday I have mostly been listening to lots of Christmas records: the Jeepster charity one (I like a Snow Patrol track!), the Low Christmas ep, the Fortuna Pop! one, the Arab Strap one & one from another band who will remain priceless.

(no idea why :)) nearly everything can be found there - cheap clothes, cheap alcohol, cheap jewellery, pirated computer games, mobile phones - in a nutshell, one big mess :) and going there is truly an unforgettable experience (sarcasm VERY MUCH intended) we were looking for some cheap pirated cds. usually the only ones that can be found there are techno-dance-crap or stuff of similar ilk, but i even saw 'kid a' and something by gusgus :) an interesting conversation i had with my mate's friend: 'wow, i've just seen a pirated radiohead cd here' 'radiohead? i went to their gig a few weeks ago.' 'what? where?? how???' 'oh, sorry. i meant *motorhead* not radiohead' :D no additional comments :D ahh, i still have no idea about what to do on the new year's eve. if my mates won't suggest something quickly, i'll just dance dance dance dance dance to the radio on the night. oh well ;) take care everyone! byeee ola ps. to people whom i've promised tapes ages ago: !sorry!sorry!sorry! i am going to post everything today, though. psps. to people whom i've promised tapes not so long ago: umm.. be a little more patient, ok? ;) -- Szybkosc - Bezpieczenstwo - FTP - SQL - ASP - 100 MB dla Twojego serwisu WWW [ http://www.op.pl/hosting/ ] +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I am very cold and very bored so now you will all hear the details of my boring suburban life and what I do to try and make it not so boring...like wear nail polish... Oh yes. It's a lovely shade of transparent blue with glitter. It's good to have sisters who are too young to wear nail polish because then you can swipe it from them. Watching my parents get all confused and try to rationalize it is quite humorous. I try to explain that it's not a gay thing, but more of a break up the monotony of suburban life thing, to which my mother replies, "You could have fooled me". No, no, not a gay thing, as I've been having my share of girl trouble lately, but I won't go into that, I don't even want to hear me whine. Got introduced to The Pixies over Christmas, very great. My favorite song is Velouria, which is my new female name, for those yet to be experienced forays into transvestitism (is that even a word?). A story regarding Cat Power's "What Would the Community Think" which I purchased with one of my Borders gift certificates. The cashier rings it up, looks at it and exclaims, quite loudly, "WHAT THE HELL CD IS THIS?!?!" At first I didn't even know she was talking to me. Then she's like, "Is it hardcore, rock,punk,?" I just looked at her funny and told her I wasn't going to label the music. I quickly took my CD and left. I'm sorry but I was under the impression that you don't put your customers in uncomfortable positions like that. I would have fired her on the spot, just for talking like MTV's ex-VJ jesse camp. Needless to say, I was disturbed and disgusted with humanity once again. I've taken some really nice pictures and would like to thank everyone who responded to my last post. BS content. After a hiatus from them for about a month, I had a BS revival Christmas day. I'm not big into religion or Christmas songs but I must say Come O come Emmanuel was quite impressive. Ok it's obviously time to wrap up this monstrosity known as the longest post to Sinister I've ever written. Velouria...umm I mean Derek S. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I'm feeling kind of lost at the moment, so I thought I'd find some comfort hiding with my second family. I've been lurking for about a year, but for some reason, I've never managed to pluck up the courage to post. Some voice in my head always managed to persuade me that I was making the wrong decision, that if I did try to post, the world would end and the elephants would become our all powerful rulers. I love most types of music but B+S hold a special place in my heart, ever since I first heard Tigermilk. There aren't many B+S fans around Durham as far as I can tell. Many a time have I had to wander my Sixth-Form Corridors alone, biding my time, playing 'We Rule The School' on the Grand Piano before being chased away by the menacing looks of the resident PE teacher. When I do attend lessons, my mind wanders to my next composistion or painting. I think I may have lost the ability to do any scholastic tasks. In fact, I am on route to failing my Biology A-level. Even the fact that the teacher rubs shoulders with Mick Cooke does nothing to capture my wandering mind. For the past 2 years I have been in love with a girl who, although a year younger than me, can make me feel like it was never worth being born. She doesn't mean to though. Is everyone looking forward to New Year? I can't really say I'm brimming with excitment at the prospect of the alkyhol pixies making a home for themselves in my head, which I know they will with much shouting and mooning. Enough of that though. My mind is starting to wander across the snow covered landscape that's waiting outside my window. So anyway, before I really embarrass myself, I'd better be going. Love you all. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I'm back again to bore all of you. perhaps it's just in my head. perhaps not. I used to be a different email address. now I'm this one. but somehow, I'm still eric. funny how that works. I've decided to throw my lot in with all of the "well, christmas is over now so I feel empty/happy/bad/hungry" messages. christmas makes me a bit sad anymore, because it doesn't really matter to me. I suppose I'm getting old, or maybe just less materialistic. it can't be the second one though, because if you don't care about material possessions, you're not a good american. my favorite part of the holiday was my gift to my bestest friend in the whole wide world. I made him a cd full of good music that I knew he would like but would never hear, since he listens to things such as matchbox 20, billy joel, and hootie and the blowfish. it had to be done, really. no one should have taste that bad. he quite liked it, apparently. I leave for london in less than two weeks. I'm getting a bit nervous, because I'm afraid of getting lost, and the tube seems incredibly intimidating. it doesn't seem that complex, but the ticket system is something my mind can't wrap itself around. and it's feckin' expensive, too. grrr. I found the cover of "heroes" that the magnetic fields did, and it's quite good, although it sounds like stephin merritt covering nico covering david bowie. not that there's anything wrong with that; a bigger fan of nico you will not find. in fact, all of you should go and purchase seven nico albums, right now. but skip "camera obscura", it's just embarrasing. synthesizers are the way of the future, you know. oh yeah. b&s content: they're good, eh? confusedly, eric (dear abby-like part) confidential to jenowl: homophobic nazi brothers will one day grow out of it. well, most of them. ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I will definitely miss home, and the fact that I was able to sleep twelve to thirteen hours a day here. I've certainly done a whole lot of shopping, and I can't fit everything into my tiny suitcase anymore, so I decided to steal my mother's. I bought three CDs yesterday, only I haven't listened to any of them so I can't tell if they're good or not. I am going to need a new CD case thing. I have ordered five, no wait, six CDs from amazon.com the day before thanksgiving, which they've informed me via email have been shipped on december twenty third. it should be in my mailbox by the time I get back. All by Guided by Voices, too. My friend, who introduced me to Belle and Sebastian as well, informs me that only three of the six CDs I bought are good. Under the Bushes Under the Stars, which is the one I'm most looking forward to, to be frank, apparently is by GBV overcome by the devil, or some kind of music satan... I think her opinion may have something to do with the fact that the first song on the CD, Teenage FBI, was in the Buffy soundtrack... GBV somehow reminds me of B&S. Maybe it's just because the same person introduced me to both of them, but they do... Not their music, because the music is pretty different, but just something about them... It can't be the band members, either, because GBV is, well, old compared to B&S. Or at least from what I know. Oh well. I have never listened to any songs remade that was originally by a female artist remotely resembling madonna. Except for maybe a couple of Weird Al songs. That was in response to Jeanette. So I wouldn't know. All I know is that Madonna ruined American Pie beyond belief. (QuickPoll: Did anyone actually like that new Music CD? Sorry if I offended anyone... but frankly, I hate that song. The music video? "What kind of evil are you watching?"!) I went out to dinner with twelve of my family members tonight. It was rather frightening. My family is really quite dysfunctional. I had to sit with my nineteen-year-old cousin who kept on calling her friends on her cell phone and a five year old who ate more than the two of us put together. Then he hit me on my head with a gold balloon that the waitress gave him. I popped the fucking thing with my nails. That was long. If anyone bothers to read this, which I doubt they will after scrolling down, please tell me what B&S and GBV have in common. Maybe they don't have anything in common at all to begin with, and it's just all in my head... I really should stop writing now. Except I haven't heard from any of my friends in two weeks, the only people I've held slightly meaningful conversations with were my mother, my father, and my grandmother, and I am starved of interesting people to talk to. Well, I did try to hold a conversation via aim with my crush, The Swedish Boy, platinum haired, rude, perverted, self-absorbed, and four years older... and really cool. But he didn't seem very interested in talking to me. Has anyone ever seen a production of The Still Alarm by George S. Kaufman? It's with the five guys and the fire in a hotel... I'm directing it, and I have nil clue as to what I'm doing, except maybe flirting with the second fireman. I have a big story about the second fireman, too, but that would take ages to type out and it's quite trivial anyway. Well, in perspective it's trivial. But to me it's quite life-or-death matter. Or maybe good-or-bad review sort of thing. I can't come up with a good analogy. Damn. I, or rather, my friend and I are coming up with another edition of the HMR SATs, a stupid test made for silly people with an obscure sense of humor. If anyone has any questions they'd like to see posted, send me your... well, questions. Just to give you a sense of what it's like, I'll give you a couple of sample questions that represent the true spirit behind the HMR SATs: -If you could choose a brand of windmills (NOT Swedish Windmills, Inc.) to sponsor this test, what would it be? -Why does "upbraid" mean "to blame" and not "to braid upward"? -e=mc squared. Write about someone who has no idea what that means. These are questions from about a year ago, and I don't find them very funny or witty now, with the possible exception of the windmill question, contributed by Will. The questions on the new test are funnier, I think, but as that is confidential until its release time, I think Rachel will be quite angry and flustered if I disclosed those questions. Okay, I'm gonna go now, and you probably don't even care, but that's okay. No wait, you're not Ben, so you should care. Or maybe Ben is on this list, although I very much doubt that, because he listens to banjo music, and I don't think I've heard Belle and Sebastian play the banjo. Maybe they do. Don't hate me because I've got a bad memory, hate me because... I lack common sense, maybe? I don't know. A lot of this is incessant rambling and babbling, in case you haven't noticed. And this has gotten really, really long, much longer than I had intended it to be. Oh well. That's life. ("How the hell do I control my life when I can't control my hair?") Lots of love and an obscure object or thought that I usually insert here but can't think of right now because my brain is dead. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Is it recommended? I only found one mention of it in the now vast archives. The best concert I went to this year was The Delgados concert in San Francisco. Their sound in that small venue was massive and brilliant. Honorable mention goes to Medeski, Martin and Wood in Pittsburgh, PA.. and Bob Dylan (also in Pittsburgh, PA). On to topics of greater consequence... 1) For someone deprived the chance to grow old, Robert Burns was indeed, a wise man. 2) Thanks to all of you who have helped me along in my quest for good music, civility and such. 3) Here's hoping a certain, affecting young poster is not completely enthralled by the proclivities of HH, no matter how movingly he writes. (hee hee - and yes, I'm blurring the line between fiction and reality here but isn't that the post-modern way?) Lastly and most importantly...I raise a glass in token to boundless hope for the upcoming year 2001 Belle & Sebastian album and worldwide tour. best wishes/kisses/hugs for the new year...

As the bus stopped for red lights, I saw a man walking with his bicycle along the pavement, his little daughter on it. She seemed extremely pleased with this, as she waved her arms and laughed, and then began making salutes to everyone, with her back straight, chest out and head held high, like she was the proud captain of some beautiful ship, sailing into harbour. For me, sitting behind the glass of the bus window, the hole scene was silent - except for "You Made Me Forget My Dreams", playing on my walkman, and the faint humming from the engine, running on idle, that occasionally broke through the music - and very beautiful. By the way, could anyone help me come up with a good name for a singer/songwriter-ish project?

I've broken evey single one of my new years resolutions in (counts on her fingers... runs out of fingers...) er, this many days. On jan the 1st i was all ready to use a spoon for the jam jar, not to draw dirty pictures on steamed up windows and not to bother those nice people on sinister. sigh. Actually i'm lying. I never eat jam. Anyway, hello all, I hope you're all keeping nicely. After honeys mothering talk I thought I'd unlurk for once. Talking about mummys, mine was singing LLPJ the other morning in the shower. The words were a bit wrong - I waited desperately for her to sing about thrush and shock my dad and it didn't happen- but, bless her, the tune was there. (sorry, that's about all the content) About the subject line, I think I read that in select a while ago. It's not the type of thing that my head comes out with . I was never in of control my mittens on strings. They gave me co-ordination problems and one invariably ended up somewhere around my armpit and the other in a puddle. The other day jenowl said.... >When I was very small I used to stay awake till late in the dark in bed, and >then I wuld gather all my dolls round me and we would have a picnic from food >I'd saved, and I would pretend we were hiding out in the blackest cave from >baddies, and we were eating our supplies at midnight, and bringing magic and >laughter to the darkness and coldness, and playing games and telling little >stories to keep our spirits up. I couldn't sleep last night, and I had the >idea that I would do that again. So I did. Funny that, I did a similar thing the other night but instead of toys I was in bed with a Younger Man. Ok, it was Harry Potter, but I read under the quilt with a torch into the wee hours and way past my bedtime. So actually it was nothing like Jenowls picnic which sounds exciting, but I was trying to be relevant. Ok I'll stop now. Goodnight all, sleeptight,and don't let the bed bugs bite. ikki Vikki. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.
