Which is why I'm now here up at lurrrvely 6am and reading sinister and writing sinister and feeling sinister. Uni hall parties are grate fun, especially after living in London drinking at cheapskate student rate again with my mates is just grate. It's been all miserable and raining in this place recently but I am just looking out of the window now in the futuristic new campus of Nottingham Uni it's not raining at all, it's just calm, quiet and realllllly foggy! The neon lights dispersing in the mist would have been simply poetry in Motion if not for the fact that it's not in motion. It's the perfect time for some B&S listening I think, over the summer I have slowly developed a habit of listening to tigermilk sitting idly on a sofa on sunny sunday mornings, and if you're ever sitting idly on a sofa on sunny sunday mornings, you should try it too. But I think this fogginess calm type weather wants me to play 369 seconds of light. I have just popped the cd in now. I have never realised that early hungover mornings can be so nice, it's so peaceful, as if all my problems are washed away. I still have my degree to finish, I still have to look for jobs with pressure from my parents to move and live in Hong Kong with them, I am still hopelessly single, but at this moment in time, I feel free, I feel fine. If only I can frame this frame of mind. I have just decided just now that I love B&S lots and lots and lots and I should marry Isobel. Just looking for words that rhymes with orange, I couldn't think of anything at first which is strange, but then I thought about how it kinda rhymes with range, then I thought of grange hill where there's the word grange, apparently grange means a granary in the olden days, but it may have been changed. Or maybe I'm just a bit deranged. The 369 seconds of light cd has just finished now, and I think I'll leave you all for now too, thank you for sharing this lovely morning moment with me.

Sorry to piss in your lemonade, but... The Messerschmitt Bf109e and Bf109g were very famous and very feared World War II planes, as was the Messerschmitt BF110. The BF110 appeared near the end of the war, and was used for dogfighting and bombing -- mainly bombing, because it was a high- altitude plane. The BF109e was Germany's premier dogfighter: extremely stable in the air, as well as highly manoeuverable, but it lacked speed compared to the Spitfire Mk series, and the P51 Mustang. But what it lacked in speed it more than made up for in firepower, packing machine guns and cannons, whereas its adversaries -- the Hurricane, the Spitfire, and the Mustang P51 only had machine guns. The Zero (Japanese -- I think Mitsubishi made it, but I'm not sure) is by far the most kickass WWII fighter. Except for the Messerschmitt ME62e which came at the very end of the war, which was a jet. It was used very little in combat, as Messerschmitt was unable to construct enough numbers in time to put it into wide use. That's probably what they are referring to when they call their planes Messerschmitts. Incidentally, Messerschmitt made planes in World War I, and some of their planes were also used during the Korean War. +!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!

Message-ID: <200010021212.NAA24829@lenzie.cent.gla.ac.uk> Hi people, V-Twin, who have now added Richard on percussion to their line- up, are doing a gig on Saturday at Blow-up in London in addition to the one I mentioned before in Aberdeen on Thursday. They're also trying out a novel new idea - rehearsing! They have been hidden away in Twin Towers rehearsing all last week, and don't intend to emerge 'til Wednesday. Stevie is playing guitar as well as sitar, and Chris is playing piano and synth as usual. Lots of people have been talking about Messerschmitts... I have a vague memory of once spending four years sitting in lecture theatres trying to sleep while lecturers tried to tell me how to make aeroplanes, and then getting shouted at when I tried to put the knowledge to practical use by throwing paper aeroplanes at them. The University eventually got tired of my paper aircraft, and got someone to talk to me in latin, hit me on the head with a silly hat and give me a bit of paper in a red cardboard tube which apparently proves I know lots of stuff about aircraft. Because of this I think I probably should add more trivia to the Messerschmitt discussion.. After WW2, Messerschmitt merged with Blokow-Blom (sp?) and became MBB. They made a helecopter called the MBB Bo105 (now known as the Eurocopter Bo105), which is very popular with british police forces, so Messerschmitts once again are able to strike fear into at least some of the people of Britain.

A. Teissere) Date: Mon, 2 Oct 2000 13:37:21 -0500 Subject: Sinister: queen of all the hipsters Message-ID: hi sinsisterfolk. scattered through other letters from the weekend, i was happy to see that i had been let out of the list nursery. a happy rite of passage! i believe i even exclaimed "yay" aloud. i feel more connected on this grey wisconsin morn to the thousands of you, multiplied and diffused throughout the world. i was going to introduce myself at this point, but then a very loud pipe-groaning sound passed through the ceiling overhead, and all of my colleagues and i had to go out into the hallway to try to figure out if we should do anything. after some worried glances, the sound appeared to calm down. it seemed appeased in the fact that it had been at least noticed. but who knows, really, in these postwar scientific cubicles, what a pipe-groaning actually means? a leak, a burst? or just a tired building casting off its final shudder? a century groans into the foundation as we small scientists look up in wonder. if we're destined for rubble, thank god I'll at least have post-nursery status when i go. i'm finishing a degree in science right now. my dear dear friend kendra speirs, also a post-nursery sinisterine sister, introduced me to the list. she too slaves away in the scientific underworld, about 1000 miles away from me, but in a parallel universe. i live out in wisconsin, and sadly, B&S or any other kin bands never seem to make it out to these oft wintry plains. polka bands, on the other hand, are quite the rage. o, the pipe has found its plaintive tune again. best to all of you, the teeming thousands, on the other side of this digital glass.

Name: not available URL: From JENOWL22 at xxx.com Mon Oct 2 22:31:11 2000 From: JENOWL22 at xxx.com (JENOWL22 at xxx.com) Date: Mon, 2 Oct 2000 17:31:11 EDT Subject: Sinister: Fun with Work Experience... Message-ID: Hewwo, Today was my first day of work experience. Oooh fun. Not. I was going to an old folks home, in Rutherglen, and guess what, they'd given me the wrong address. So I arrived at this terraced house, and this woman came to the door with two kids under her arm, and she gave me directions to the right place, which weren't very grate, but I found it in the end. So I got there, and the nurses were all "we were expecting two boys, and your school hasn't sent us a letter". Which made me feel like Anne of Green Gables. So I had to make beds in all the bedrooms, which all smelled of wee, because they're all incontinent. And it wasn't too bad, until I got to this lady called Agnes' room. And she was in bed, sleeping, so this nurse helped her out, but she didn't want to get out, and she was screaming and swearing and throwing her teeth at us, and saying all sorts of really rude and moke-ish things to us (and me especially). And when the nurse tried to help her with her clothes, then she bit her and slapped her. And eventuallly we got her bed made. And the nurse said that that was her in a good mood. So then I cleaned and polished all the rooms, which was moke-ish, because old ladies keep loads of trinkets and stuff on their tables, and I had to dust under all of them. And then I served tea, and biscuits. And had a tea break of my own, when the nurses all showed me scars from where Agnes had bit/scratched them. And then I had to go round the rooms and, well, basically, the people in the home are a little bit doolally, and they mess their drawers and wardrobes up for the hell of it, so you have to empty their drawers out onto the bed, and tidy all their underwear up. So I spent about an hour sifting through incontinence pants. And then, I got to Agnes the Moke's room... So I went in and she was asleep, which was good, and the nurse said it would be ok, for me to be in on my own. So I was quite happy (or as happy as a person can be going through someone elses toilet control underwear), until she woke up. And she was screaming about how the clothes on her bed were for a jumble sale, and when I couldn't think of anything to say, she started screaming at me, from her little chair, about how she cursed me for my youth, and how I prolly thought I was grate and pretty (well, not in those words, she was much meaner), but I wasn't, I was really fat, and ugly (which is kind of ironic, because she really does look like Jabba the Hut, and I'm not just saying that because she was mean to me), and she was calling me all sorts of names, and I was just trying to be polite to her, but that set her off even more, and she started shouting "you're so prim! That's right hen, P-R-I-M! Deaf and stupid! You're all 'sorry' this, and 'pardon' that! Bitch! Whore!" and she went on for a bit. Then she demanded that I take her to the toilet right away. Which I didn't know if I was allowed to do, in case I killed her or something by accident (though, by that time I had a motive, really), and I said that I would just fetch a nurse for her, and she gave me this really sly smile, and said no, and she didn't need after all. Five minutes later, and she called out, "you didn't get me to the toilet in time!" And then she said "I don't like you, I'm going to piss myself now, and it'll be your fault. I'll tell them", and then she did. And I could smell it and everything! So I had to go and get the nurse, and she did blame it on me, but I think the nurse gave me the benifit of the doubt. After that, I had lunch, and then I served lunch to the ladies, and I burnt my hand a couple of times, and I overheard these ladies talking about me and how useless I was, really loudly. Which put me on a downer. And then I got stuck in the kitchen, butter a million slices of bread. Then the head nurse came in and gave me this three foot slab of cheese (no joke), and a teeny little grater, and told me to grate it. And all the nurses ever do is smoke and talk about Stars in their Eyes. And they made me sing. For the old people. And it was bad. So WE wasn't good. Still, only four days to go. I'm really terrified now. I thought that the one good thing about work experience would be escaping the hard kids. Now I'm stuck with 30 hard kids who all wet themselves, and have false teeth. Did I mention that they all managed to get their false teeth all mixed up with each other's? Sorry, about the lack of content. I'm really sorry. I came home and drank out my B&S mug and listened to Tigermilk (and watch star wars), and revelled in the joy of being in a place that didn't hit you with the smell of wee as soon as you walked in the door. I will prolly post again about my newfound Hell on Earth, in the next week. Mmm...John, I'm really sorry I haven't mailed you. I will soon, i promise. I really don't hate you!

I will however reserve my final judgement until more listens, just because it's radiohead. There seems to be a huge lack of real songs in it tho, and the last song Motion Picture Soundtrack I loved when I found it as an acoustic mp3 version is not quite as good on the album, and they made me listen to a minute of silence for the "bonus track".. Maybe the next album in a few months will be better, or maybe I'll grow to like it like I do with most things. Actually, I'm listening to it now and I'm liking it a bit more, at least the occasional bits with lyrics in it. I hope radiohead will not start experimenting with penpipes, I really do. feather boa said: >>hooray for radiohead for being the first band to reward my insatiable curiosity by actually putting something in the little bit behind the plastic that holds the cd in (maybe no one else has noticed this *thrill of joy*).<< Actually they have that on the "the bends" album, but then the whole case was made of transparent plastic, so it doesn't really count, and in any case it was still radiohead!

Tonight I'm going out to the PEPSI CHART SHOW!!!!!! wow amazing. I expect i'll be licky if there is a single good song on (if i'm optimistic, they mught play the hefner new one. or in a dream world they may even be there!)

I don't know whether it was shot down or they caught it in a huge butterfly net or whether it was resting on a nearby hillside when a gigantic catlike robot pounced on it. Anyway, it was inspected by French technicians before being sent to the USSR, wherever that is. Who started all this Messerschmitt nonsense anyway? I bet it was Rodd. We had a picnic on Saturday, it was GRATE. We sat outside a bar with manky toilets where we were entertained by an endless round of talentless street musicians as we discussed matters such as Montgolfier Magic and the Piano Brothers, played guess the listee's age (you can now play guess the listee whose age we guessed), marvelled at the prospect of Trousers possibly coming down and generally had a GRATE time. Then we went to look for Nazi memorabilia at a market stall, but had to make do with Falange bric-a-brac. Falange rhymes with orange. If you're sucking on a Polo mint. Then Elenita999 went to the beach while the rest of us retired to one of the finest restaurants in Barcelona. Once again, the toilets left a little to be desired. I don't know about the others, but I had a bit of an upset tummy later on. Then we had a quick whizz round the listening posts and Natascha bought some clever books. Judging by what the rest of the people in the huge check-out queue were carrying, it was the most intellectually satisfying purchase of the day. But none of this is really any of your business, because it was a Segundos de luz picnic, which are much better than Sinister picnics. Sod off, B&S Primrose mafia! On Sunday I took Struan's advice and went to church. It was a Catalan Orthodox service, so I didn't understand much. At one point two women tried to shake hands with me, but I was having none of it! There were no hymns, and the vicar was wearing a green cassock. Some people look as if they wished they'd got eyes in the back of their head, they don't miss a thing.

And thats why the sinister list is grate. Steven Kado said: "discuss: comics. now!" OK I wouldn't describe Dan Clowes as an overdone bozo though I admit most of his stuff (like early 8balls) is hard to come by in the sticks areas of englishland. Ghost World is one of my favourite graphic novels -like- ever man. Lout Rampage is worth a look especially if you're into Jack T Chick spoofs and repulsive artwork. He's not as funny as Peter Bagge though. Someone nice whose name I can't remember asked whether Portsmouth Wedgewood Rooms was actually full of fine china crockery. It isn't. It does have fairly civilised bouncers and improved toilets but it's your usual Church of St. Lamaq small venue. Having the Deladgos and Clearlake there should improve things immeasurably though. It's gonna be difficult to do a digital painting of B&S on Top of the Pops since I never saw it. I might just use some amazing photomanipulation software to put B&S on TOTP back in its 60s glory days. And have Jimmy Saville attacking Struan instead of a gorilla. Disturbing thought. I think I should go too. Rob ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

If for any reason anyone has recorded the episode where this appears and could get me a sample of her saying it, I would be eternally GRATE-ful, as I am a very sad man. I realise this is gebre-highly unlikely, but hey, that's why i love the world of sinister. All we need now is a scene in Friends where they have a discussion about a PAINTING COMPETITION! Entries are, at the moment, a little thin on the ground, but i guess you're all just adding your finishing touches, AREN'T YOU?? (send them to carsmilesteve at yahoo.com when they are ready) Oh and if you don't tell me who you are, anonymous-entry-person, it stands to reason that you can't win, even if your picture is lovely, which it is :) And don't worry if you didn't actually see B&S on TOTP, the judging will be on imagination and creative flair, rather than accuracy, innit. I purposefully didn't buy kid a yesterday as only very special albums deserve to be bought on the first day of release, and although i almost certainly will buy it at some point in the near future (apparently wh smiths have it for a tenner), i didn't think it was special enough having seen them in their GRATE big tent last week. The tent was very good, but otherwise it was a little lacking in melody from my narrow, reactionary point of view. Two questions to finish with: who's going to scalaramalalanarina on saturday? what's a good digital camera to buy (and where's a good place to buy one)? xoxo CarsmileSteve +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: Hello people, It's been quite interesting at university so far. Even if I do have 9 o'clock shorthand classes, and tutorials FIRST THING IN THE AFTERNOON. What else happened? Oh yes, I requested a Ballboy song at Offbeat and no-one danced, so all the Sheffield people that were at Offbeat last Friday..... :op Only kidding, chaps. Oh, and I just had a horrid lesson, where the prof guy said "interview the person next to you", and so I had to be interviewed by a horrid trendy girl, and I had to correct her spelling of Belle & Sebastian. And when she was writing up the interview and was looking for words to describe me, she turned to me and said "what's another word for modest?". I showed her how to use Word's thesauraus, and she chose self-effacing... Still, mustn't complain, eh? I could talk about Kid A, but I don't have it. This is because I wandered into Record Collector today, and when I left I found I'd spent £20 by mistake. Still, I did have two Kristen Hersh albums and the Hefner single (both discs). Damn, how twee am I?? Yes, well. Or something. I'm hungry, I'm going to go home and eat more onion rings. It's not my fault, they ran out of chips. But I have to cycle uphill for a very very long way. But that's the price you pay for using a bike to cycle downhill all the way to lessons, traversing half the city in about 15 minutes. I'd better go, don't you think.

Are slugs just snails who have lost their houses, perhaps in some kind of slimy, very slow accident? Or maybe they've had them taken away by the council. Either way, they're going to be cold this winter. Chicken are good, the way they lay eggs and that. Like shitting a melon, that's how someone once described having a baby. I wouldn't want to do it twice, no siree. That's the thing about kids, full of surprises. Little bleeders, look what they've done to my good pot-plant, I tell you, when I get my hand on them their lives won't be worth Find a penny, pick it up, all day long you'll have good luck. Bollocks. In my day if you picked up a penny you'd be called a jew. Why, I have no idea . "Jew; not 'did you'; Jew. I'm telling you..." Weather wise, things are strange. Cold cold. Hot hot. Or at least lukewarm. I can't see properly out of one eye. It's giving me headaches. It will cost 40 pounds to fix this. Do I have 40 pounds? Technically, yes, but's that's not to say that I In the disjointed, fading light... Curtains are strange, aren't they? You close them when it gets dark. Surely that only makes things darker, unless you have one of those fancy electronic lamps I've heard about. Modern life is sluggish. Walking downhill backwards, talking to you... Trying to make sense of life is like trying to climb a hill. Time consuming and tiring. Of course it's all worth it if you've an egg to roll down. Painted pink and any other colour of your choice. Tell me Easter's on a Friday... Surprises are sometimes good, of course. Like when you get something you didn't know you didn't want until now. Another one to tick off the list. Just smile and say something predictable. Or something unpredictable, but in a predictable way. Naturally morning came, and all the news had changed... Sorry for wasting whatever time you have left.

Some of the newer members were puzzled by this but the older members were more so, they recognised the smell from somewhere but just couldn't place it. Then some bright young chap said "I know what it is, it's cinnamon." Some of those who heard him agreed and it was soon decided that such a smell could mean only one thing, The Narrow Wizard was back. "Is that bad?" asked one newer Sinisterine but he was answered with cries of "No, no" and one particularly humourous person replied with a giggle "Only if you're a pretty girl" And then the smell became stronger and a figure appeared as if by magic, and the figure was thin and a bit funny looking. And then the narrow wizard spoke unto the sinister "Awright you lot, I'm back at uni for a Masters and so thought I'd see how you were all doing, besides I needed to inspect the new members. Speak to you all soon OK" with that the narrow wizard disappeared in a flash of blue flame leaving behind only a faint smell of cinnamon. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Oh Lordy, I'm swooning like a bad 'un. So I work for this ad agency where I write words n' stuff and we got this Web-bit where lotsa techie people sit shouting JAVA-JAVA-JAVA all day long. And I don't go down there much, coz it's a bit scary when you use words and not numbers to make language, or something. Anyway. Tonight they are giving this presentation which is "Wot we do and who does it" with free beer and finger food, so I'm going, and there's this guy sitting there looking cool n' cutting-edge (in his own way). Turns out he is one of these techie people and (I'M SHOCKED) is fab and funny and handsome and SCANDINAVIAN, which makes me go all stoopid and girly and stoopid again. And he's chatting away about how he used to "modify" PLAYBOY TV, but he got real bored coz all the ladies were boring and stereotypical (Isn't he GRATE?). And not to forget how he's a bit of an alien in the UK, so I'm busting not to say "DO YOU NEED A GREEN CARD???" What'ma gonna do? Means I'm gonna have to start hanging about in the scary bit of the building and learn binary and start checking my blemishes (ohmygod, I have blemishes) at lunchtime. I shouldn't even be here - I should be out exercising or having an acid peel or at least swotting up on the history of the Sauna (oh, baby) and it's direct influence on the Bjork back-catalogue.

Obviously they couldn't get away with singing Mr Denver's original lyrics so changed home to "West Jamaica". Luckily getting older means that you don't have to care about whether or not you like Radiohead. Bowie At The Beeb triple CD is good value, new Broadcast ep is good. Hefner singles also, (but have all been heard before on the radio). Hefner remixed by Poxendale must be Peter Miller's idea of heaven. I went to church on Sunday, too. The clergyman officiating was a nice old bloke, so when he shook hands with me I said "Bless me Father" and he was my Dad. I found reading Hymns Ancient & Modern Revised more interesting than the latter half of the service. No way is it true that the devil has all the best tunes. I reckon all that singing in the choir has soaked into Stuart Murdoch's soul & that's why he writes such stirring melodies. Stuart, what are your 3 favourite hymns? Channel 4 Planet Sound teletext says that the "Belle & Sebastian DJ's" are no longer going to tour with Snow Patrol, as they are in the studio. What on earth would they be doing there? Messerschmitt trivia section: its a nice irony that when they made the film The Battle Of Britain there weren't any airworthy Bf.109's left, so they had to use ex-Ejercito del Aire ones (that's a HA-1112-M1L or C.4K, Segunditos). These had to be built with Merlin engines (as on the Hurricanes & Spitfires popularly held to have won the Battle) when the supply of Daimler Benz 600 series engines dried up after the war. So both side's planes in the film are powered by Rolls Royce Merlins.

Steven Kado said: "discuss: comics. now!" OK I wouldn't describe Dan Clowes as an overdone bozo though I admit most of his stuff (like early 8balls) is hard to come by in the sticks areas of englishland. Ghost World is one of my favourite graphic novels -like- ever man. Lout Rampage is worth a look especially if you're into Jack T Chick spoofs and repulsive artwork. He's not as funny as Peter Bagge though. Someone nice whose name I can't remember asked whether Portsmouth Wedgewood Rooms was actually full of fine china crockery. It isn't. It does have fairly civilised bouncers and improved toilets but it's your usual Church of St. Lamacq small venue. Having the Deladgos and Clearlake there should improve things immeasurably though. It's gonna be difficult to do a digital painting of B&S on Top of the Pops since I never saw it. I might just use some amazing photomanipulation software to put B&S on TOTP back in its 60s glory days. And have Jimmy Saville attacking Struan instead of a gorilla. Disturbing thought. I think I should go too. Rob ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Nice to see it collected. And it's great. Not since Craig Thompsons Goodbye, Chunky Rice two years back have I stumbled across anything so good. Both are far better than anything of Clowes that I have read, except for perhaps the Caricatures short. That was really good.

My name's Melissa...and I am 17, and live in Long Island, New York (where i think i am the only B&S fan around). The talk of the new Radiohead album gave me the little push I needed to post something.... Radiohead Ramblings: I bought Kid-A last night at midnight, I've been waiting for this album for what it seems like years...actually...wait...it has been a few years, either way, I've been waiting for it for a long time. I was lucky enough to attend the listening party in NYC, I had isolated myself from anything dealing with the album until then. I was just shocked when i first heard the album....I didn't know whether i liked it or hated it....it actually made me want to run home and listen to the bends. With much thought, I decided I did like the album and i was dying to listen to it again. So, I went out last night and bought the album the second it went on sale. I've been listening to it on and off all day, and I really do like it....i think that "Everything In It's Right Place", "How To Disappear Completely", "Idioteque" and "Morning Bell" are the best songs on the album. Anyway, i feel like i am taking far much of your time (those of you who are so curtious to read this), I wish everyone a nice night, and I hope everyone is well.

It's lonely over here without anyone to ramble on about new songs and such. Whereas, when I was in Spain, I met a rather nice English man named Gary who, of course, knew of them and we were able to chat a bit. I was also very jealous when someone mentioned that they heard "I fought in a war" on the radio--that would NEVER happen here. How sad for our musically-challenged American culture.

Then I knew The Wrath Of Sting was upon us. True, I don't get this nervous when it's, say, Morrissey's birthday, but then again what pop star this side of George Michael could inspire such terror? I tried to plod through the day avoiding mishap, but no use. I got a 65 on a math quiz, on stuff I knew well. I lost my good pen. The computer in newspaper was jammed and I couldn't print out my article. When I got home I tripped and fell, banging my head on the coach. It even took me a long time to get to bed, because my fan was suddenly and mysteriously broken. So if you had a bad day Monday, don't blame it on a friend or a teacher or yourself-blame it on Sting!!

That said, I hadn't exactly been gearing up for the big three-oh, thinking it to be a reason for commiserating rather than celebrating..... Then last Saturday I went into Superdrug and the girl at the checkout asked me if I had an NUS card. "I turn thirty next month," I replied. "Oh really, you don't look it!" said she, really putting the super into Superdrug as far as I was concerned. Anyway, the *big day* is Oct 17th, but as this is a "school night" I have decided to celebrate on the Saturday before, so if any UK listees in or within easy reach of London can make it to the Head of Steam just outside Euston Station (see http://www.theheadofsteam.com/Euston.html)from about 7.30-ish on Saturday 14th you'll be most welcome.

As I approached a set of lights I saw a formation of birds in the sky flying south, Kid A is almost certainly going to be the winter soundtrack for many. I enjoyed the album a great deal, the dissonant electronics serve to create a mood of unease and expectation which set your mind on edge and create the receptiveness/need/hunger for the 'proper' vocal tracks when they finally arrive. They are quite obviously messing with our heads, and why the fuck not? But the big question, is it better than B&S' last offering? Chalk and cheese y'might say, but at least the 'head are moving in different directions, whereas B&S seem to be reheating the same old soup to a certain extent. Very nice soup, don't get me wrong, kinda like your granny might make, but still the same stuff. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Message-ID: <20001004135339.17896.qmail@web612.mail.yahoo.com> hi, well, me and some pals have decided that here in norwich we're going to create an indie appreication society at uni. There is demand, we believe, cos we've seen all the cool kids wandering around campus, and we've seen them at gigs and things. We decided to call ourselves CODI, a tribute to both the Mogwai album, as well as actually meaning something, which it does. Plus it sounded a little less cheesier than indie kid society. So I was wondering if there is anyone here in sinister land, who has something simelar at their place of study? If so, would you mind e mailing me so I can pick your brains? We've got some ideas at the moment what we want to do, and once we've got it all set up then we'll see how much of it is actually acheivable. For the moment though, they remain ideas. Well, thats it for the moment. By the way, its my birthday next week.

Bah! In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hello all. What with all this talk about Kid A, I thought I should drop in my little opinion. After all the discussion about the hatred of prog rock, I'm surprised that Radiohead seem to attract so many fans, what with their music being impenetrable pretentious old twaddle. Still, at least they're not putting out any singles for a while. Well, it's now getting all autumnal, and I have to say, I love it almost completely (apart from the gloomy bits). Now I can wear a coat to work and not feel foolish as the weather changes from what looks like rain to being a stinking hot summer day. No more sweating on the tube (hooray!) and lots more enjoying being indoors where it's nice and warm (until the heating decides to pack up). I suppose a bit of B&S content is necessary really. Well, since I've yet to make any comment on anything about FYHCYWLAP, I can honestly say I love it, especially 'Don't Leave The Light On', which is gorgeous. I was surprised when martyg10 (sorry, I don't know your full name) said that they seem to be retreading old ground. As far as I could see, a lot of the criticism for FYHCYWLAP from people in these quarters seemed to stem from the fact that it didn't sound enough like the B&S of old (or am I misinterpreting everything?). Hmm - dissention in the ranks maybe?! Well, as it's getting to un-picnic-able weather in this country, I'm hoping that there'll be something else to do instead - the last Lahndahn picnic was top, if a bit wet, so here's hoping for some sort of indoor picnic-type thang, with more booze than you could shake a very large stick at. Anyone got any suggestions? Ah well, I suppose I ought to get back to me proofreading.

Plus you get to choose between watching England against the Evil Germans or watching Baxendale. Decisions, decisions... I'll be wearing my disco belt and heels, of course. I'd like to thank Marty G for saying > dragging the other one off his barstool for a square go and everything. because various people have been trying to convince me lately that there's no such thing as a Square Go. And I'd like to offer those people outside for a SQUARE GO right now. Grrr! I was cleaning my room the other evening (yes, really!), dusting the corners of the ceiling, when I discovered a nest of spiders! Bloody arachnids, they follow me around everywhere these days. There were lots of ickle ones crawling about a mass of cobwebs and Mummy and Daddy were guarding them. What to do? They were too high and too small to catch in a pint glass and whipping at them with my duster might make them fall down in my face - no thank you very much! The Flatmate suggested hoovering them up, but I thought that was a cruel idea, especially considering he's a hippie veggie boy, so I've left them there in their little webby creche and hopefully they'll scuttle off under the skirting board when they've grown up a bit. Or maybe they'll grow to the size of dinner plates and crawl into my mouth while I'm asleep and... euch! Pass the hoover... And finally, a poem: I eat my gruel from a PORRINGER Putting marmalade in makes it ORANGER Will that do? Sort of? Ish? Juicy Lucy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

So when I found out I really couldn't and that that Steve Jones was a quite accomplished guitarist on Never Mind the Bollocks and some of the "licks" as I believe they can be called are rather troublesome to play. I was going to write a song in response called Anyone Can Write a Song Better Than Anyone Can Play Guitar but I though better of it as, a) I could only play 2 guitar chords and at a speed that makes Galaxie 500 sound like Napalm Death, and b) where would it end if they replied to that and the banter kept going to and fro. We'd have a song title longer than that Fiona Apple album. Apparently the new Constant Spray album title was going to be a synopsis of world history since the dawn of time, but it wouldn't fit on the CD cover. Call that progress? I think not. They settled in the end for "Atlas dropped us long ago" which isn't half as good, though less than half as long I guess. I do admire the way Ocean Spray write songs in Volapuk, as it does appear to be the true international language of angst and not just a throw back to 19th Century British imperialism. Somehow words seem more touching with an umlaut or two, or is that just me? My fave song is "If I give you the time will you wait for me", which is a exploration of the 4th dimension. Though the middle 8 detailing the plot lines of all 3 Back to the Future films does, I admit, devalue its credibility. Probably one of those ideas that seemed good at the time, much like the October Russian Revolution (or November if you have a differing calendic opinion, I'm currently a Juliean but that's another story). Actually, I think of Radiohead much in the same way as Josef Stalin, and see Belle and Sebastian more as Leon Trotsky, will it end when Stu picks a fight and they all get axed on tour in Mexico. Sorry.. ummm as for Lenin I see him as the picture on my wall I kiss before I go to bed every night. I was going to write a dissertation on a comparison of Lennon and Lenin once, the conclusion being that where one says no the other says i, hello, goodbye etc. But now I'm starting to lose the plot much like any Yoko Ono album. Actually has anyone ever heard a Yoko Ono album? What would go through your mind as you positioned it upon your record player and think I'd quite like to hear Yoko sing now. I'm also glad someone mentioned the comedic values of Willie Carson on A Question of Sport earlier today, as I'm starting a campaign to get rid of John Parrot and little Willie would be an ideal replacement. And also a fitting farewell and memorial to Ethel from Eastenders. The 'enders just isn't the same without ol' perky Ethel and a little jovial jockey under her arm. Plus then Dot might not be be wrecking chemist shops and instead have her feet up with a cup of Rosy and a slice of cake watching hilarious sporting banter. Though you never see people in soaps watching TV do you? Reflection of real life my arse. Or something... Anyway, I'm probably going to that Scalarama thingy on Saturday, I'll be the one singing "(I've had) The Time of My Life" on the karaoke machine all night wearing a Dum Dums t-shirt. Don't worry it won't be ironic. Te ra, Martin P.S Ally, you nicked my slugs and snails can I have them back? Or at least feed them some crab sticks, they like them. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

People are writting about planes and languages and the new radiohead album. I never liked Radiohead. I think they are the *intellectual* excuse to the vulgarity and commonness of the *indie* music scene. Some people in here will probably hate me for such a statement, but this is my humble opinion anyway. not so humble! I do hate this word! Actually, I liked the radiohead bloke's brother band much more. I think they were more genuine. they were the La's, a band from Liverpool, I reckon. With John Powers from Cast in... I'm not sure if the yoke brother was in La's, but I haven't got time for facts now anyway! But, it's time to go back to the Pauline L's world. As I told you in my last post, me and my best friend Althea, had a picnic on our own in Prague's botanical garden. It was a perfect day, sunny and warm. And we flashed our red knickers. An old man was passing by holding his 7-years-old grandson's hand, and he almost had a heart attack. His face got all red! But I guess his grandson was more interested in such a spectacle! Little boys get naughty in such a small age nowadays, don't you think? I also told you that I met this musician, Anton. He came to us and asked for our lighter. I love men who smoke. I don't know why, but the non-smokers always make me feel uncomfortable and put me in that apologetic mood which I despise. Anton is very gifted. He seems to live in a world of his own; which is a good thing. We went to the Prague riots together. All these people! I'd spent hours and hours in my garde robe room trying to figure out what to wear. Althea came to pick me up and I wasn't ready. Finally I wore a pair of black D&G trousers - they were last season so I didn't really care if they'd get dirty or torn apart or anything - and a tight Apollo 440 t-shirt (!) and over that my Hope & Glory hooded jacket! If any of you had anything to do with the *joy-riding* era in england, 7 years ago, you'd probably remember the Hope & Glory clothes line... Oh and my red camper shoes. Last season too, but I guessed and I guessed right that they'd be ruined as well! Campers are so off-season! That was the most important part of the prague riots really! what I was wearing! 'Cause we did have the same old stuff. people screaming their lungs out, really badly dressed students, people at their 50s who looked at some skateboarding boys in amazement and envy! We did a lot of running; next day my thighs were aching. Nothing serious though; nothing that two hours of horseriding couldn't fix, if you know what I mean! So, we went there. Me, Althea and Anton; With whom I had a bad argument over music. He said that Belle and Sebastian are ripping off Love and Felt, and that made me so angry! As I said it's a different thing to rip other bands off and another to pay your respect to these bands with your music. He then asked me who I liked more: B&S or Love? but the answer was obvious! What do I have to do with Love? They were OK, for their era, but they do bore me after 3 or 4 songs. But Felt, Felt is another story. I don't think that anyone could rip Felt off! It's impossible! Anyway, Anton pissed me off! I think he's too much of a commoner for me. His family has lots of money, his father owns this chain of clothes stores. But who cares? it's *new money* and it shows! I think Althea is interested though. And she could have him really. Nothing happened between me and Anton anyway, and Althea and I use to share everything. talking about Althea her brother came from England; he's doing his PhD in philosophy there; I haven't seen Daniel for years. He's 30 years old now and so cute that makes my knees feel all weak everytime he looks at me! Daniel is living with his dad in London. You see Althea's parents are divorced and she lives here with her mum, where as her brother moved to London when he was 18 and lives there ever since; so, I could only see him in summer for a couple of weeks during his holidays. I used to have this crush on him since I can remember myself. And we snogged once; that was 3 years ago. Daniel heard the whole story about my italian so called *fiance* from Althea and last night when we went out for dinner with Anton, Althea and cousin Theodor, he kept asking me about him. He met his sister in London, he said. You see, us, the european aristocracy live in a very close circle. we all know each other! I want to seduce Daniel; and it won't be hard. The thing is that I suspect that Theodor wants him too! Poor Theo! He's still trying to recover from the fiasko with Aunt Myrtles' gardener! I feel so sorry for him! he was going out with this model for a couple of weeks! And was he cute! But it wasn't meant to last. Theodor got bored with the model boy after the first week. I don't blame him really. the boy was very cute as I said, but quite brainless. Last night, after we went back home, I went to Theodor's room and lied down next to him under the duvet! We talked and talked for hours. He said he had a crush on Daniel too, but he realised that he was straight so he wouldn't make a fool out of himself by confessing his love to him. And that he would be happy for me if I got together with Daniel! That was very generous of him. But my poor darling Theo, had no other choise really. In the meanwhile, aunt Myrtles' trips to her friend Patricia Hendel in Paris, have become more frequent! I guess it won't be long till we hear wedding bells for cousin Theo and her horsefaced floosy of a daughter, Miss Constance. Today me and Daniel are going to this Spa! We have made room reservations there for 3 days. two single rooms, mind you. Althea and boyfriend Anton were supposed to come as well, but Anton is going to Italy for a concert and Althea can't but follow him, so that leaves me and Daniel all alone for 3 whole days in a Spa, 3 hours from Prague. Heaven knows what's going to happen!! I'll tell you all in my next post, I promise! At least, I hope I'll have *something* to tell you. Before I leave, I would like to thank this sinister boy, Jonny five, who wrote this lovely little poem for me! Thank you Jonny darling! You english boys are so cute! Or like BB would sing "Le Diable Est Anglais"!! And "Le Diable" is irresistable!! Pauline L. Shivers that makes sinister all quivers she's that aristocratic slag who lives and reigns in Prague PS: Where's Magda Boom? I so much liked her posts! I could see a kinder spirit in her! more PS: My fave sinister listee, PF, seems to have landed in a more *real* world! I miss the old PFantastic, sur-real-istic era! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Message-ID: hello everybody, oh what a crazy time it has been lately. i have been listening to b&s non-stop lately. i think its because even though i always loved them, after the new album came out it sort of rekindled the fire for me. it made then new to me all over again. i've been trying to listen to them and forget about all my problems. i am obbsessed with the model... i've gotten myself into quite a mess with the boys. for a couple months i didnt date a single sole, now i am dating two boys at once. i didnt mean for it to happen. it just sort of did. i think they would both be really mad at me if they knew this, so should i just keep quiet about it and continue to see both of them? or maybe should i pick one? im afraid to decide on one, because maybe i will get sick of him and then i wont have the other one around anymore. (i dont know why but it seems like after i date them for a short time i almost inevitably get sick of them, which is sort of ironic because i always dream about having a boyfriend who i love and have a commitment with, yet it seems like after about 5 dates i am ready to move on)..anyhow i know this sounds horribly selfish, but theres got to be people on this list who have been in this situation before. i dont understand why when you are alone and not seeing anybody it seems as if you will never meet anyone, but then once you start seeing someone suddenly all these people who like you start coming out of the woodwork. poor jen, i felt so bad for her at the poor old persons home. i hate going to them, the smell of piss permeates every single section of the building. it sounds like you have alot to put up with there jen. you should look for a new job. ive had lots of jobs and i think that my favorite job that ive had is a barista at a small little cafe. for some reason i always imagine the uk as having all sorts of these quaint little places, as oppossed to the corporate coffee generic places in america. finding work isnt that hard, i should know since i seem to have a new job every week. the hard part is finding your niche. but keep at it i am sure you will find something. i heard the new radiohead and i think it is brilliant... and finally, is anyone in the philadelphia region going to see godspeed you black emperor next tuesday? if so let me know. xoxo, lauren* +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

It's stuff relating to me in some fashion or another! Message-ID: Well I thought I'd post again, due to the increase of talk about Portland! Honey bought a record by our very own Pink Martini- a fabulous band indeed! They usually play at my school's winter and/or spring formals, which are a bit more of a meat market than anything else. Well, at least back in the old days when they served us booze. Now you have to sneak it in, so it's just not worth it. But Pink Martini are all right in my books! Adam Conover felt all warm and fuzzy inside because our very own Jen from The Softies and AGSFB emailed him. Jen felt even more special when I told her how famous she is now that everyone on sinister heard just how famous and neat she is! And Adam is tops, because he likes the Beta Band, just like me. Carmel said she just moved to Portland and couldn't find anyone to play with. There's a large contingency of indie kids in this here town and a small contingency of us sinisterees. Of course we've never had a picnic despite my lame ass efforts. I wouldn't be surprised if we've all been at a few of the same shows, though. And non-Portland-related but me-related because I used to live there, Feather Boa is moving to York, which despite all my bitching and moaning while I was there, I miss dearly. I really only met one other B&S fan and he broke my heart, so stay away from him. But there were a few other people I'd see in B&S shirts. My favorite one to watch (B&S boy, as I called him) probably finished his degree, so I'm sure he'll be gone. But there are lots of ace people at the radio station (as well as a few not so ace people, but nevermind them), so you should go be one of them. Finally, lots of people have crushes, myself included. We met at the desk lottery last month (we're so academic we have lotteries to see who gets the best desks in the library) but I couldn't remember his name. Rather, if his name was one of two that sound a lot alike. So last weekend I got all smart and stuff and decided to check the list and see the names of the people that sit at the desk he's at. What are the odds that the two possible names that could be his are the two names of the people at that desk?! Oh the irony. Needless to say, I've not gotten very far in talking to him. I almost put a note on his desk asking if he wanted to take a cigarette/coffee break with me but decided that would be very sad. Friends have suggested everything from rifling through his desk (mmm... creepy?) to crouching behind bushes and calling out one of the two names when he passes and seeing if he turns to look (riiiight). So instead I think I'll just sit at my desk and think about how silly this all is. That and try to think up ways to muster up enough courage to talk to him. I think that's all. heather +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Hmm - dissention in the > ranks maybe?! I have to say that I completely fell in love with "Don't leave the light on baby" as soon as I heard it. It just puts you in one of those moods where you just want to relax and listen to the song. Mmmm...I love that feeling. Fold your hands is a little less B&S like, but there's still twinges of them in it all around. It's kind of cool that it's not exactly like the other ones--shows their versatility and I can still tell it's them, so that makes me happy. I guess I'm easily satisfied, but that's not such a bad thing, right? right?

Yesterday, I had to dust. Mean Agnes the Moke Who Wet Herself to Spite me has 5 chests of drawers, and millions of ornaments on top, And I can to take all the ornaments off one by one, and dust each chest. And she yelled and swore at me and said I was lazy and not doing it properly, and I had to do them again and again and again until she was grudgingly satisfied. Then I had to put all the ornaments back and she said that they'd better be in perfect order, or she'd wet herself again, but she would help me out and I had to keep on trying until I got it right. Then she threw her biscuit at me anyway. After I'd done all sorts of skivy work, I went into the lounge to wait on the ladies, and one of them asked my to come over and hold out my hand. Which I dutifully did. And she spat her teeth into it. And the palatte was all jam-packed with soggy chewed up digestive biscuit, which she demanded that I clean. So I took it to the bathroom, but I had nothing non-bleach to use, and I didn't want to kill anyone yet, so I had to use my fingers and it was yucky. And then this old lady in the other toilet started buzzing, and (since I'd been given a video on Caring for the Incontinent to watch), the nurse said I was to go and see what she wanted. And when I walked in there was this god-awful smell, and there was squits in the pan, and soiled loo roll on the floor, and she was standing there with her panties round her ankles, demanding help. And I had to help her pull her triple strength knickers up, and then pick up all the pooey tissue paper off the floor, and my god I don't think I'll ever forget the smell. Then I went back to the TV room, and started helping the ladies through to the dining room, but one of them had soiled herself in a really bad way, and it was all over the place, and she'd been sitting like that for hours, and I felt really bad because I hadn't noticed. But thankfully they didn't make me bath her, just empty the bins (which burst on me and got vomit on me), and hang out the laundry (giant sheets, which I got badly tangled up in, and fell over lots of times), and running errands. Oh, and I was officially demoted from "Jennifer", to "the girl", or, in more positive situations, "you", or "what's yer name again, hen?". Today I did the usual, and got the unenviable task of changing Agnes the Moke who Wet Herself To Spite Me's urine soaked sheets. And I ignored her when she swore at me, so her new favourite game became insulting my parentage. She also kept groping the nurse who was helping her, and cackling like a really evil cartoon witch. Um, also, I spent a while in a cold cellar place folding boxes. And I ran more errands, in the rain this time. Also, they placed Daniel O'Donnell in the smaller house, and I'm telling you, i really don't care how far it is to Tipperary, or what time of year it is in Ireland, or what flowers are blooming, sweetly or otherwise, and I'm not Irish, and I didn't want to come into your stupid parlour anyway. Sorry about that. And on the way home I had to walk for half an hour in the moke-ish rain, and all the cars kept whizzing by and soaking me, and I usually like the rain, but not today. Today, I don't like anything. I really hate the home, the poor women are forced to sit and watch daytime tv, and there are lots of lovely, accessible gardens, but i've never once seen them leave doors, even though yesterday and the day before it was nice weather. And the staff prepare food, after taking ladies to the loo, without washing their hands, and they're all really bitter, and jumpy, and they're not supposed to smoke indoors, but they do, while they're seeing to the ladies, and even in the kitchen. And they treat the ladies like they're three year olds, even though some of them are still lucid, just can't do things for themselves, and all the old ladies are really miserable, and they have nothing to do. God I hate it. Only two more days to go. And I'm in a rotten mood, and I've had hardly any sleep, and I've been doing so much stuff, and I HATE AGNES, and I HATE WORK EXPERIENCE, and I've got a really sore back from carrying stuff, and I've hardly eaten, because I don't want to get a filthy toilet nicotine disease from the food, and did I mention I HATE WORK EXPERIENCE, so I'm very sorry, and if you didn't like my post or the fact that it has no content again, you can feel free to e mail me with abuse, and i'll just add it to my giant pile of abuse I get at WORK EXPERIENCE WHICH I HATE and I'll maybe get round to being depressed about it when I'm 50, which is how long it'll take me to get through all the other big fat juicy abuses. Sorry. Lack of hugs, Jen Ps. There's a lady called Mrs Shivers there.

If, like me, you have been keeping up with the world of humour and the world of Pop, you may have heard of a band called Super Sister! Blatantly ripping off the WORLD OF GREATNESS that is created by my husband Drew , they have written a song with their own wee handies called Coffee! In which they compare their ideal Boy Crush to a cup of coffee! HOT, STRONG, and SWEET! (like toffee)! Someone made a funny joke, saying they like their men like they like their toilet roll, strong, long, and absorbent! Do you think thats funny! I do! Haha! UK Listees, a word of advice! Bring It On is released on October the 10th. Go and see it! Does anyone know how you get tickets to movie premieres if you're English and worst of all from the North and worst of all don't have a heroin problem which keeps your weight down to negative currency? If so, please email me, and I'll make you mojitos. They are my favourite cocktail. Its the mint! It's the lime! Its the fact it has booze in it, which is always a plus. Myself and a fellow listee went to see the Dum Dums recently, and are ashamed that Sweetie beat us, their number one fans! They did a cover of the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, using the drummer as a human beat box, nto as in they beat him up, as in like those rapper dudes, like Public Enemy and Debbie harry and Phil Oakey in my favourite Human League song, Love Action. Even Constant Spray do a bit of rapping, volapuk really lends itself to rap which is an unexpected turnup for the books. Dom at binom lödöp obsik is really rad!!! It means, "This Country Is Mine". I'm making a website for constant spray, so watch this space. Of course I also have to work on the one for Stars, but ... aye aye aye I'm your little butterfly... good to be a butterfly, no-one wants to hunt down butterflies. *remembers 20s novels about butterfly catching*. Whoops. time to watch father ted, hmm does anyone ever try socks on before they buy them? I never have. Bye bye!

Message-ID: hello (the mists of time dawned on me, so i got up and opened the curtains) ally cooke mentioned curtains. my dad was fanatic about closing the curtains, to retain heat. i always liked the way that 'drawing the curtains' could mean either opening or closing them. or depicting them in pencil. i don't like sleeping with the curtains shut though. i feel like vampire. (if i'd had a penny for every time i'd said kajagoogoo i wouldn't be eating crab sticks now) it's been a while, i've not been able to get it together to concentrate long enough to post. even now i don't know if this will get cancelled and i shall start again some other time. you may never know these words existed. still, here's to a maybe. again i have found myself ending things and leaving jobs and houses. finally i went to university. its' decidedly bland. rediscovered shyness in the process. i am slighty homeless as a result. this is bad. (i still believe in magic carpets) martin (who is odd and talks to the TV) mentioned Constant Spray. i wonder if he has heard an early ep of theirs with 'filofax sad parade' and 'if seagulls weren't airborne would we still be shipshape?' on it. the ep also has 'laminate the landmarks' as a hidden track. at least, i think that's what it's called. it could be a version of 'tesselate tesselate or wait' though. this was before they adopted el lingua de dios, or volapuk as we know it nowadays, and simply sung in their native language. more recently though, i thought '3am wait for mr milko' was superb. much better than live versions. i visited the tate modern today. it's an impressive space. shame about all that art they've left in there. i shall be going to scalarama llama. i'll be the one with the badge that says 'don't get to know me' from: alix (i'd give anything for a giant marble egg, but how would i incubate it?) _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

It's stuff relating to me in some fashion or another! Message-ID: <20001005022735.29712.qmail@web2003.mail.yahoo.com> Heather, I've heard of Pink Martini and listened a bit to their record. Definitely a cool band, I just don't have anything of theirs. I have actually lived here in rainy Portland (coming from rainy Seattle) for a couple years. I'm going to school down here and I'm in my third year. There are some cool indie kids around, mostly hiding, but I just don't know many of them. My school is full of the Abercrombie kids driving their SUVs that mommy and/or daddy bought them as recompense for their lonely childhoods. So, I am swamped with Rosie 105 listeners....sigh. Oh well, I guess someone needs to listen to that stuff. It's like the good old philosophy that we need bad to contrast the good so we realize the full meaning of the good. That's all for now.

I've already skipped three classes. I couldn't bear the thought of going to my 2 1/2 hour "workshop in history" today, so I came home and ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and listened to b&s. then I actually did some schoolwork, a novelty for me. is anyone out there a speaker/student of irish (as in, the language)? I'm taking the first semester of it now, and it's absolutely crazy. my favorite word so far is "blasta", which means tasty. the language is alive, at least at new york university. oh yeah, and in some place called ireland. I'm writing my first irish composition and it's going v e r y s l o w l y, since, like, I don't speak it. I found out tonight that my friend was going to set me up with some boy named jay, which vaguely alarmed me. what is the proper thing to say when you're told information like that? I don't date. I'm against it. and anybody that tells you any different is a filthy liar and you should shun them. I just found out that yo la tengo is coming back to new york in november, which is quite exciting since I've never seen them live. I just hope that I can afford a ticket, since I'm a poor college student and all that. I was approached by a complete stranger today on the street that asked me about my b&s pins on my bag. and about two weeks before that, someone on the bus complimented me on them. both times I was informed that they were jealous because they're sold out. so see, that was 2 pounds that was going to spent that wasn't! b&s really need to be more ruthless capitalists. being approached by strangers and asked about pins is kind of disconcerting though, since I don't really know what to say. it didn't help that one of them was a cute boy. but, I don't date. so there! only 14 more irish words to go.... languidly, eric p.s. hi jonny!

Kid A is excellent. i put it in my discman, put on my headphones, and by the time it was done, i was crying. it made me all emotional. it's very intense, very menacing, but i don't think the album is for everyone. if you listen to stuff like aphex twin, boards of canada, and other warp records stuff, which the band supposedly took influence from, then you will most likely enjoy it. it's not easily accessible, but that is the point. for a band to go out on a limb and risk their reputation, fanbase, etc, and to come out stronger than ever...that is an amazing feat. lucky, but amazing nonetheless. but that's just my opoinion, no more correct than anyone else's. no one is bad because they don't like it, and no one is better because they do. everyone is GREAT. 2. someone used their crush vote on me. who is it?!?! i know it's not Richard, the wonderfully lovely Neosleeze, because he didn't use his yet. (YET.) who is it? i don't want to go out on a limb and use mine yet... and somehow i feel like it's a lurker. speak to me! the rest of the list doesn't have to know! 3. someone said that belle and sebastian aren't pulling radioheads and making drastically different albums. i think fishyclap was a very experimental record...they took some big chances and tried some new stuff out (and i'm not just talking about beyond the sunrise here). i think, like radiohead, both bands took a chance, indulged a bit, and became more sure of themselves in the process of making both of these records. experimental doesn't necessarily mean "free jazz" or "blips drips and strips", or even "krautrock" (ha!). serge gainsbourg was experimental by writing songs in many different styles, yet his songs are all distinctly Gainsbourg. i've been telling my girlfreind how ridiculous i think all of the ass kissing that the press is doing to radiohead is stupid, but here i am, sounding like smooches on tushes. as i've been saying, these people are just in bands, they're not gods. we all have the potential to be radioheads, or belle and sebastians, or half japaneses, or even serge gainsbourgs, the only thing that makes us different from them is whether or not we want to take chances and make ourselves heard. (steps off of soapbox) ok, now... im going to stop before i hurt someone. everyone enjoy autumn... manifest creativity in any way possible. n**__espioum<LI<<<>>___>ciao*&%+___>>> mike j +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <20001005.044319.-229867.0.gelflingag@juno.com> Ahh. a wonderfully enriching day. i had forgotten the joys of watching monkeys savagely masturbate over a small piece of popcorn. And its funny when sarcasm is mistaken as anger. ritualistically. like beastly cavemen. ha. it's all kind of acute when it comes to the humor i get when i read some of the responses to responses of other peoples responses. criticism and judgement of other peoples opinions. i think its an endless and comical cycle. It's like when you go to a petting zoo to feed the cute little monkeys. you simply throw one tiny piece of popcorn in their cage. suddenly you are the cause for several of the little creatures beating each other up. I think the combination of reading e.e cummings and clockwork orange has finally paid off. its almost as funny as harassing some one with word problems. anyway, Cheers was a good show.

Pyjamarama is much missed in that whirlwind. If some musical marathon would be baptised as such, I will do my best not to miss it.However, the topnotch karaoke session sounds radtastique, and how many luscious Kylies and womanising Robbies will the night bring out? Lipgloss extreme cu's polaroids galore at the Sinister site in next weeks. Curtains deserve an special mention.In this do-it-yourself stage of my life, (what to do is the question, but none else will do it for me is the answer), I have engineered a yellow hippy curtain to cover the gloomy condemned backdoor in my bedroom. Having the opposite phobia than Campbell Senior, eg, opening curtains till the maximum, to alleviate the coffin-like looks of this dwelling, the proper curtains, that is,are nearly dropping and light invades everything a bit too early.I am still in shock after realising how many Britons never open curtains or windows because of the heating obsession...

Shall I do an MBA? Radiohead - I'm delighted some people like them, that's great. I can't be arsed with them any more. I have no opinions on Kid A. I'm not sorry. My colleague who goes to garage clubs tells me that you can by these light things which apparently spell words in the air. It seems that it is hip at present to spell out "tune" (or "choon"? Or some other funky spelling with a z or q in it?), or even shout it out to the selectah. Perhaps I will get one for the next B&S gig, add a question mark and light it up if they dare to play Beyond the Sunrise. I'm also going to Scalarama. Bet that'll get the hoards thronging.

You know how lots of people are posting about being students and being back at college and stuff? Well, I'm currently masquerading as a student who's back at college. Cause it turns out that even though I graduated in the summer I can still log onto the computers, therefore get free internet access! Huzzah! I'm not really sure that I'm supposed to be doing this, so I'm hiding in the corner of the computer lab crapping myself that I might be thrown out onto the street at any moment. Actually, my matriculation card doesn't expire until August next year, so I'm beginning to suspect that I've maybe still got a year to go and nobody's told me and the whole graduation thing was just a particularly vivid dream. Maybe I'll wake up tomorrow and find Bobby Ewing in the shower. So I've spent this morning catching up on the posts I've missed in the past few days when I've been suffering from Olympic withdrawal. You know, staring at blank TV screens all day and all night. Actually, I was pretty much like that before the Olympics as well. But it was like losing a friend when it finished. It's inspired me to become an Olympian myself, though. Can anyone think of any sports for unfit lazy people with little commitment and a disturbing lack of co-ordination? Me neither. The modern pentathalon looked fun. Very swashbuckling - horse riding, shooting, fencing, running and one other that I can't remember. Errol Flynn would've excelled at it. Especially if the other was philandering. Jen's work experience tales have confirmed all my worst suspicions about old people. The cunts. They're just as bad when they're on the loose in the outside world. Pushing in front of you in bus ques and stuff. (Sorry, I know that talking about buses is such a horrendous cliche round these parts). A while back a friend of mine told me that when she's old she wants all her current friends to meet up and live in the same old folks home and cause havoc. Although obviously not to helpless work experience girls, just the evil staff. Best to try to avoid the ones run by nuns, mind. This is actually National Old People week in Britain. And today's National Poetry Day. So if you're an old person who happens to be a poet you're onto a winner. John Maxwell enthused: "I saw Blue Peter. That new girl is so much better than Katy Hill. I canÂ’t remember her name at the moment. She must be the perfect BP presenter. She smiles all the time, sheÂ’s intelligent-ish, she is reasonably good looking, and sheÂ’s a good cook." Sounds like a lovely little wife for you, John! She has a very angular haircut as well. They had a feature about the Spanish Civil War last night and had their serious faces on. Neat-o. I'm not at all confident that this post isn't just a total bunch of arse. Lurve Ian N. ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

He was really huge, like 2 metres (no I don't know how much that is in feet, sorry), and reaching the roof of the bus with his hair. Me being pretty short, I was probably just reaching his tummy. Uh. Big people impress me, they are so big. If you are tall and meet me some day, don't go "boooh", I might faint. After Mr Miller's and Jordi's posts, you already know that we had a little mini-picnic last Saturday. It was nice, really. Well, both of them have been very polite by not mentioning the awful state I was in, all hungover and with fizzy stomach, feeling sick just by smelling food. That is probably why I avoided the crap restaurant, which was a good move after all, it seemed. Instead I went to the beach, it's just ace to live in Barcelona and think you can go to the beach in early October. I love lying on the beach. My new flatmates are not funny. Well the fact is they are German and one doesn't really speak Spanish so we can't really communicate, and they don't make jokes every minute you see. (no offense here to any German on the list, but still my flatmates are no fun). And the worse bit being they don't like music. They don't own a CD player nor a CD. They own a crap tape player and 4 tapes: a jazz one and three albums of The Cranberries. I don't know if I will survive. Well maybe I will for 2 weeks because a bunch of free gigs are coming for the happy inhabitants of Barcelona (me, at least). Mojave 3 and Hefner, yes M'am, for free. Which is good because I haven't got a job yet. Well I haven't finished a CV even, so I am being a bit lazy really. But the only job offers I saw are for giving away flyers. Not that fun indeed, but I need money. That can't be worse than working with Old Agnes� Tonight I am meeting a whole bunch of foreign students in an English pub. It's funny how I manage to get drunk in pubs drinking beer being so far away from London. But luckily no picnic planned tomorrow, so I will just hang around in pyjamas all day, drinking water, taking paracetamol and complaining about my headache. How funny is student life.

I havent written in a while and as such feel a little like a vicar popping in for a cup of tea and a chat. My ex-church doesn't send the Vicar round. They just bombard me with letters, as they are still hopeful that they will draw me back from my pernicious world of cigarettes, alcohol and loose women. Jen said: > Work experience still is hell. I did work experience with a very funny man indeed. He was a very funny man and a very funny photographer. His wife was a very funny woman and they worked in a funny little shop. Do you ever find that when you look at the same word too many times, it turns into another? Because 'funny' just became 'fanny'. Anyway, those fannies used to send me out at lunchtime even when it was raining, and I used to cower under a copy of the guardian inside a leaky little wooden house in the children's playground up the road, singing britpop songs to myself to keep my morale up. I saw Alex James in the Foundry last night, he looked a bit fat. I thought about asking him for directions to the Private View for which I spent half an hour walking down the wrong end of Shoredich High Street, but I found a nice cabby who took off his hat and took out the magical book of truth - the London A to Z, and bob's your uncle. It was quite a fun Private View actually. It was in a gallery space posing as a house, and it had a big white bathroom so we hid in it while we tried to stop giggling. I shouted 'you've got shit on your trousers' quite loudly whilst a man was being interviewed by the BBC about the East End being the new cool. Horrified by the sudden realisation that we were in last season's favoured district, we insulted people randomly before getting our coats and getting the hell out. Their Vodka was crap and they wouldn't let us stand on the roof and I wanted to be at the Mobo awards instead. Mummy! >Get thee to Scalarama on Saturday.

And amid gasps of total indifference and mutterings of, "I never even noticed he'd gone", I'll explain my absence. I unsubbed at the beginning of July to go on a two week mountaineering/caving Gold Duke of Edinburgh thing in Northern Spain, planning to resub when I got back, but too much shit happened, and it was only two days ago, when I recieved Jules lovely tape through Kaytee's tape tree, that I remembered what I was missing. But, to fill you all in, my summer has been shit - I think I've had enough misfortune to last me a life time, or at least a few months. The first thing that happened was the day I got back from my holiday, my best friend got hit by a drunk driver, and was paralysed. Yes FUCKING PARALYSED. That made me wake up and smell the coffee. Oh yes sirry. It was very strange though; he was and still is remarkably upbeat about not being able to walk anymore, and I was the one who spent all day crying for about a week and a half. So that made me feel shit, and so the prospect of rejoining the 'twee-brigade', as some of my other friends call it (is twee still a four-letter word round here?) didn't really appeal. It still gets me down to think that my best mate is in a wheelchair, but I'm getting over it. Apparently though, the chances are that he will walk again, a bit like Jim McDonald in Coronation Street (my mum watches it...). He's jazzed up his chair as well with lots of stickers and has fuzzy dice on the arm rest... which is actually really funky. But that was the first downer. Then in the second week of August, my Gran (who has been totally bonkers for the last ten years anyway) and Uncle died, within four days of each other, and that was also very sad, as my other Uncle is a money-grabbing bastard, who's trying to fiddle my Gran's will. The death of my Gran didn't really bother me much, becuase she's had about a month to live for the last three or so years, and so it wasn't much of a shock. My uncle, on the other hand, died very suddenly, and my Dad (his brother) was pretty screwed up over it. And so that also drew me away from Sinister, cos I was too consumed with family fuck-ups And then things began to look up. I had a wonderful Leeds festival (unlike a certain person I know and Erica, who I gather got on the wrong sides of each other - according to Erica's diary) and Pulp are sooooo brilliant, and I got my GAP year all planned (anybody else on the list doing doing a skiing season this winter?). The only moderately pissing off this at the moment is my job. I feel totally unqualified to complain following Jen's report earlier this week however, and Jen: you are a kind and more patient soul that me. However, I will complain, only a bit. I'm working for a solicitor's firm as a secretary, just typing letters and answering the phone, and my boss is the definition of the word moke; he talks to everybody as if they are five, and gives really unclear instructions just so we have to come back to him and say that we don't understand. And he looks like Monty Burns. Seriously. Anyway, I doubt many of you wanted to hear all of this (sorry Honey - forgive me this time), but for those of you (very few) who did know when I was on Sinister before, I'm back now, slightly changed by a bizarre summer, but back. Phew, that was close.... Am currently listening to: Kid A, but I won't talk about it because it seems to be a bit of a sore subject round here, Leisure by Blur, SelmaSongs and the White Album, all of which are fab, apart from Leisure, which is shite, but has nostalgia value aplenty. I've said far too much now, and I have a feeling that people are just going to see this in their inboxes and think "no, it's too big to read, click delete", which will, in all honesty, be totally justified. So thank you Sinister for being there for me to moan to, and everybody, don't panic, for I A M B A C K. Right, I think I'm going to go and hide under a rock now... love, S.x P.S.

Message-ID: <20001006140452.29863.qmail@web615.mail.yahoo.com> Bad hair day. Woke up yesterday, resembling a Bay City Roller. Dyed my hair. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE RED. its NOT. its black. Woke up this morning, resembling Sid Vicious. Hair up on end. Managed to calm it down a bit. Have to grow it, I think. Only had it cut a few weeks ago, and after the first day, I cannot style it. Bluddy hair. Still, I seem to be advancing, day by day through the seventies. As long as I don't end up in the eighties with my hair resembling 'chele from Eastenders. *Shudders* Trying to get my chat room to work. Nobody seems to have a positive word about it, except me. I don't know what its all about, it seems a bit stupid sometimes, I mean, simple to set up, and everything, but I keep getting all the same idential e mails saying the same thing about something I should do, that I have already done. Unfriendly internet thing. I've also rearranged my website, but it keeps going back to my old pages, which it ought not to do, cos I changed their names and everything. Stupid things. BUT.. I would like to express a public big thankyou to Mark Casarotto for his words of wisdom, about my last post, about setting up a university indie society. Also, can anyone, do me one ickle favour? I need someone to go and visit my site, and tell me that you see a purple column and stuff. Not the old version, with groovy buttons. Just a simple site. And check that the chat room works for you. Otherwise I might scream. Is it just these stupid awkward, prehistoric university pieces of ridiculousness that are playing up on me? what is going on!!!!

Mooro finally got the chance to talk about aeroplanes. Three years on this list, biting his nails, twiddling his thumbs, waiting for the (Dutch) klaxon to sound and the all-clear not to be given. That moment when (moustachioed) men would don leathers and run for the airfield, ready to become men, or die in the attempt. The moment came as the word 'Messershmitt', or however you spell it, came overhead. For a while the skies were dark with references. Syllables crashed around us. Yet when the flak had cleared, there in a jacket, taking some flak for it, was Mooro. He had seized his chance at last. He was proud. Captain Marvel fell, trapping a nerve in his shoulder (he's got a nerve): >>>I was going to write a song in response called Anyone Can Write a Song >>>Better Than Anyone Can Play Guitar but I though better of it as, a) I >>>could only play 2 guitar chords and at a speed that makes Galaxie 500 >>>sound like Napalm Death, and b) where would it end if they replied to >>>that and the banter kept going to and fro. Now, this was tremendous and funny, in my book. (Have you heard about my book? Marvel Comics: Humour In Martin Robinson, 1999-, pub. Cornell UP, Fall 2001.) But I have to add that he admits more than he knows. Anyone *can* play guitar better than the Marvel. He's still marvellous, though. Especially on Wagon Wheels. Cazza wrote: >>>I'm also going to Scalarama. Bet that'll get the hoards thronging. Did he mean 'hordes', or is this an elaborate joke? Are hoards of some substance or other, stored somewhere, about to start thronging in some direction or other? At this stage we don't know. Alixibelle said: >>>ally cooke mentioned curtains. Did she mean Ally *Cook*? And: >>>i feel like vampire. Which one? And: >>>its' decidedly bland. Did she mean 'it's decidedly bland'? She would never make an error of punctuation. She is a (crab) stickler. Frauline S. Livers typed: >>>My fave sinister listee, PF, seems to have landed in a more *real* world! I miss the old PFantastic, sur-real-istic era! a) that's very nice of 'her' - I think. b) If I didn't know better, I would suspect that FSL was a name for the boy Trouss�. But even I know better than that. c) It's true that the pinefox has become more 'realistic' in its modes and fixations. But the reason is surely obvious. I am under the hard-to-avoid influence of Yo La Tengo. Tengo's gritty meditations on post-industrial Japan return us to 'the real' with new questions, or at least fluorescent question marks. La Tengo - or 'Yo' as s/he is sometimes known in his native land - writes an unsparing prose of tautness and urgency. We find ourselves out on the streets, or at least, as Phil Lynott and Gary Moore once put it, out in the fields. In the neo-neural non-nuclear wastescape conjured by Yo (or La, as 'he' is known in Baltimore), there are more questioners than interrogees. And he ain't tellin'. But one thing's for sure - someone, somewhere [in summertime] is keeping it ReaL. By the way, Reynolds and Press (The Sex Revolts, 1995) have this to say about Thin Lizzy: The Irish hard rockers presented a more or less identical [to the Clash] mix of renegade mythos and mid-70s fear of totalitarianism, except that they wrapped it up in science-fiction imagery and laid it on top of a marginally more traditional sound (Hendrix-tinged raunch'n'roll) than the Clash's garageland stomp. 'Jailbreak' was a sort of concept album, set in a computer-controlled dystopian future, about a revolt against the evil Overmaster. The sleevenotes describe a band of prisoners (ie Thin Lizzy) who start off a jail riot and escape. Reading this book, I start to wonder whether those of us who have so vociferously backed Reynolds in the past ought to think about some retractions. Ally96 aye-ayed: >>> There's not much difference between snails and slugs [etc] - which was obviously another of his tr�s successful chat-up lines. >>>I can't see properly out of one eye. It's giving me headaches. I can't swallow properly. But I am truly sorry to hear this. Of course, the fact that I've heard it doesn't make it true. >>>Naturally morning came, and all the news had changed... It always does. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

But today is a different day. Have you ever felt totally ripped off? I think I was ripped off last night. And yes there is a tad bit of B&S in here. A tad. Last night I went to the John Anson Ford Ampitheatre in Universal City (right next to Los Angeles) to see Modest Mouse. Mind you, I live in Huntington Beach which is an almost TWO HOUR drive when you decide to leave your house at 6pm on a week night and drive up to LA. Almost TWO HOURS in traffic all the way up the 110 Fwy to the equally, if not more, congested 101 Hollywood Freeway. So, we get there and there's this opening band on -- he, terrible voice; she -- beautiful angelic voice. I wish I could remember the band's name. Anyway, my boyfriend says they sound like Belle and Sebastian. I say, "in reverse". There. There's your tad bit of B&S. ANYWAY -- the two opening bands play for about and hour, combined. Then Modest Mouse comes on. They play for 45 MINUTES!!!!! That's it. FORTY FIVE FARGING MINUTES!!! We spent THREE TIMES as long ON THE FARGING FREEWAY than we did listening to Modest Mouse! Isaac Brock (singer) apologized for the short set and said to save our tickets, they might have a free show sometime to make up for this. He kept saying, "Welcome to Modest Mouse Prison Camp". Evidentally, the JAF Theater is a complete joke. Grrrr, I'm still so terribly irritated. The worst of it is, Travis was playing right near by at the Universal Ampitheater (which, by the way, isn't an ampitheater anymore). I could have seen them instead. On another Radiohead note -- they sold out the Greek Theater here in LA in just a few short minutes. Their only US date, so they say. Now the Greek, that's an ampitheater. I wish someone would get their *h** together around here when they start naming venues. Is it an ampitheater OR NOT?!?!? Time to go to work. *Colleen* +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I was just pointing light-hearted humour at the address, perhaps inferring she workerd for them! it was a poke at the NME establishment, as many of you know i don't like their journalistic fashions (as do most on this list, i seem to recall). Please dont take it personally, annabelle. no harm intended. On the same subject... David Geraghty emailed me to call me a racist for the above comment. tosser. need i explain what a racist is? or am i mistaken...is there, somewhere in the world, a country full of NME newpapers, living peaceful, contented lives, worried about the militant and offensive nature of those weird human things towards their kind? probably not, it's just david's vocabulary is pretty limited. furthermore, david, "worm" is a term for an undercover agent. I know it is also a name for a certain type of virus, but you must please read the email in the context it is written, not just formulate an incorrect hypothesis, a half-assed insult and throw it back. Thats pretty stupid, isnt it? Peace and olive branches to annabelle. it's nice to see new people, i meant no harm. Love Niko xxx "I could only play 2 guitar chords and at a speed that makes Galaxie 500 sound like Napalm Death" yep, another classic quote for the archives...hopefully in 5,000 years, people will use this list as an exam text for history.

Scalarama-lama-ding-dong Bit like an indoor Sinister picnic really, with great company, music, glamour, day-time drinking, polaroids & football. No food sadly & for chat read shout. The Cuban Boys, Baxendale & Whistler left me cold: my musical highlight being David Gedge playing records (in between having his photo taken), arriving to play the theme from Goldfinger & leaving to the wails of Felt's Primitive Painters. In between he engineered the feat of getting a space substantially filled with Sinisterines dancing to Hole. And not only dancing but singing the words all the way through & gesticulating too. I think I even saw an air guitar. I think a list of names usually goes here like credits at an awards ceremony but today I consider that boring. Bit like my performance in the table footie. V-Twin The Sinister hard-core stalking team left Scala-etc. early due to starvation & to see V-Twin (or possibly more accurately their guest players). Blowup at the Wag Club was weird: seemingly ran by West End gangsters for backless 00's teenage girls to dance to nonstop 60's music. Soul records I never heard of, The Who's Can't Explain, cover versions (?) of Like A Rolling Stone & I'm Waiting For The Man by soul singers trying to sound like Mick Jagger. The band played for a pretty entertaining & energetic ?30 minutes/seven songs. V-Twin's singer is an astonishing fashion statement from the soaked toes of his shoes to his enormous brown fur hat. He also was either accompanied by a couple of fleas or afflicted with severe heartburn from nerves or something as he had to keep scratching/rubbing himself. The vocal performance was less easy to judge due to his microphone incomprehensibly not being switched on. Thank You Baby is still my favourite & Delinquency *Rocks*. All the band seemed to have a great time on stage, including their guests Chris, Richard & Stevie. Richard thrashed hell out of an assortment of percussion instruments, Chris is brilliant & smiled a lot & Stevie played harmonica & guitar, for one number employing the interesting technique of resting the end of his guitar on the amp & modifying the feedback by toggling the L/R switch. Isobel was in the audience. In a beautiful black dress. Shame Sincere apologies to Mr Geddes for chasing him across the club & tugging his sleeve: really boorish of me. My only defence is that Lucy made me do it (& you like her) Sally & I left at 1 a.m. for the delights of the night bus to Greenwich so Lucy will have to supply the rest of the goss. Tonight Sally & I off to see The Delgados at the RFH. Fascinating apprehension about seeing The Incredible String Band for the first time. I know they're going to be shite. But could that spark still be there?

God, that's a strange thought... everyone hanging around on the outside, waiting for everyone else... *ahem* Yes, it's me, I'm back, ladeda, I only posted three times so the list didn't exactly implode in my lurkership, but still... I got a list-crush vote, nay a list-crush match, no less. Except something went horribly wrong, 'cos we somehow failed to message each other. What else? I was at Scalarama, hunting for upside down 3..6..9...'s, but I didn't see any, plus I was too embarassed to look too closely at people's *ahem* badges, y'know... I saw a girl who by look alone I was sure was on the list - red hair, like chin length, black-and-white horizontally striped T-shirt, one mainly white badge which may have been the 'niner, who were you? I know you're here. Re: 'Rama... Cuban Boys make good records and are terrible live, Baxendale make good records and are absolutely superb live, the world would be a better place if more bands started their sets by running onstage in matching red tops, black trousers and stylish red shades, jumped up in the air and then launched straight into a proper p!o!p! single. And projected a big logo saying "POP will save us all" on the vidscreen. And wrote lyrics like "Take your Bittersweet symphonies, I'll break your legs if you stop me dancing...". And wrote contributions to the brochure/programme thing so good they went straight on my wall. We saw them hanging around afterwards but were scared to talk them, sigh. She's really thin, her out of Baxendale. Like, massively thin. Whistler and Jacques were shite, though. Respect to the guy in the "Dance you twee indie fuck£rs" T-shirt and to "The King of Karaoke" - he ruled. I like Papercuts. Its logo now decorates the plastic bit on the edge of my computer screen, underneath the Weekly World News headline: "End Times ARE HERE". J-pop is too expensive, which makes me sad. Pauline L. Shivers, you rock my world. I'd like to hereby apply to marry you. It wouldn't be all socially iffy neither, 'cos I'm heir to a proper countdom, in Italy and all. Comics discuss - Hmmm. Slave Labor Graphics are "comics for people who don't like comics". They make Lenore and Johnny the Homicidal Maniac and much else that's fantastic and not a little twisted, hunt them out at once popkids. Not a lot to say here, really. Sorry. Well, I flee now.

No reason is given for this dramatic fall from grace. It could be that Mick's maybe winching and therefore no longer eligible. Perhaps the list makers don't consider Belle and Sebastian to be as hip as they were a year ago. They might think that he's turned into a bit of a floppy mong of late. They may even have heard an Amphetameanies record. Whatever the reason, I'm sure you'll all join me in wishing Mick all the best, in what is bound to be a very difficult and emotional time for him.

But last night via an email a friend sent me I found out something horrible and nasty: A few years ago Melody Maker and the NME tried to kickstart a scene called romo which was basically a revival of the new romantic movement. A horrible nasty idea at the best of times quite frankly. Anyway, one of the bands in the middle of this circus were called Orlando and who were they signed to? jeepster. label of beloved indie err lovliness. When i found this out I searched for an old MM tape that had Orlando on it and their song was dreadful to put it mildly. The questions that must be answered are: Did Stuart M and the rest decide to sign with Jeepster because they admired Orlando and the new romantic foolishness? Does Isobel harbour desires to look like them out of kajagoogoo? Is the next album to be filled with nasty synth noises? Personally I have always seen the Haircut 100 influence on B&S. Real B&S content as opposed to spurious content: err, they played seeing other people when I went to the Star and Garter a week ago. p*a*u*l Paul _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

I want to say that, living in Northern California (the "Silicon Valley", to be precise), i hardly identify with the weather you English and Scottish folks deal with. It's always 70 degrees (Fahrenheit -- that translates as basically perfect) and sunny here. The leaves don't really change colors. I doesn't start raining until November, at which point it continues raining on and off until April or so, and then it stops again for the next 6 months. But I'm almost jealous. I grew up in NY, where the seasons are apparent. I miss the leaves falling, and the reds and yellows of Autumn, and the drizzles and the flurries. Oh well, I'll just play frisbee. And one more thing -- any fellow B&S people in the San Francisco Bay Area, please let me know if you lads get together at that Club CoCo thing every other Wednesday, or whatever. It's be nice to meet some of you in person. I have no other B&S comrades down here. (Palo Alto.)

Oct. 22 its the Softies, Mirah, and Microphones. It'll be at the Manaquan Womens Club, 62 Main St., Manasquan, New Jersey. It starts at 7:00 and will be a lot of fun! I hope some of you NJ or NY Sinistereens can make it and hang out. All the above bands are on the legendary K records, Rose from the Softies was in Tigar Trap, and Mirah and the Microphones were just on tour with Modest Mouse. Someone actually talked about them in a previous post. They're all terrific, lovely bands that i'm sure you'd all enjoy. In other news, high school is good. I'm looking at colleges for next year. If there are any Sinisters out there in Art School drop me a line, i'm looking at School of Visual Arts, and Parsons in NYC, and the Suffolk school of Art, and Mass. School of Art in Mass. I'd like to know what you think about what your doing. thanks a lot for reading, hopefully i'll be seeing some of you at the show or hearing from you. Take care everyone. bye. --- andrew c. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I am still behind on all the work/bill/boring stuff, but I'm a bit less behind and I have tomorrow morning to catch up. Oooooh ooooooh oooooh I am getting a haircut tomorrow! Well scary! I hate going to hair dressers, it's like going to a fascist faction, and they always ridicule me when *I* try and make a suggestion about how *I* want *my* hair cut, grrr. It's gonna be a radical haircut too.. scary, wish me luck. Nik Ovenden said: >>Kenneth P Y Chu Tried his hand at the joke industry and in one fell swoop beat mine...lousy punk.<< Heh, I credit my talents to years of reading the jokes off the penguin chocolate bars... you should have heard the one on it about this chicken which crosses roads. I felt being called a lousy type of music with guitars too loud is a bit harsh tho. then he said: >>KID A SECRET ARTWORK who was it that said that "the bends" had secret books in the back of it? i've got both versions of the bends, and neither contains such a thing...please clarify!<< That was me! Fooled you didn't I? (told you I'm a comedy genius...) Yeah, funny really cos I said that before I knew that there was an actual bluddy book behind the cd! I thought it was just a bit of a mystery picture that we will never find out the whole of without breaking the case... like the bends has a picture on the background of the cd holding bit. But then if you have a highly abstract mind you can think of that piece of paper with the picture on as a book, with only one page. I hope I haven't made you rip your bends cd case in half.. sorry! :) Eww icky rain smell is really horrible, it certainly doesn't smell as nice as red bull. I am going bed now, to cover my nose and think of England, and dream of horses, and stuff. Nighty night! Nice haircuts and red bulls!

Message-ID: <39E1911C.C69B8540@ruskin.ac.uk> hello babies Yes, another ridiculously expensive weekend has passed (three squid for a pint of guinness????) in a haze of half heard conversations, "energetic" dancing and bad karaoke. Can one have drunken ears? After about 6 o'clock on saturday i couldn't hear a bloody thing anyone was saying, so the smiling and nodding tactic was adopted, except when v-twin were mentioned when it became a furious shaking of the head. Furious shaking of head was also adopted when the GEDGE played hole, but air guitar was (hopefully) kept to a minimum. Usually i wouldn't, not to Hole anyway, but i was feeling rather exuberant following baxendale, who made perfect sense on saturday, and succeeded in making all the following bands sound rather dull and lifeless. The whole day had made me feel happy, as i realised that i knew about 10 times as many people there as i had when out in Cheltenham the night before, and it's good to see your friends isn't it. Energetic dancing was not confined to the small dancefloor near the bar either. The Actionettes performed on the stage, with their dazzling display of fantasic 60s moves, 12 girls surely all descended from Pan's People, although following much debate in the upstairs gallery, the one second from the right on the last song was declared the most "up for it" Karaoke is a funny thing, I just can't help myself, although i'll leave it to others to dissect my performance. Maybe we should have a sini-karaoke at some point :) ...but i know HE'S A MORON, GORDON IS A MORON xoxo CarsmileSteve PS, I think i've got a spare ticket for Broadcast on wednesday, if any oxo-cubes were thinking of going. Not that it's sold out of anything yet, but you'd save a squid, innit. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <20001009102322.27105.qmail@web613.mail.yahoo.com> hi all, well, thanks to everyone who visited my site. You put my mind at ease, I couldn't get the new page up, even when the old one had gone away, so thanks for confirming it was working. The weekend. Hair wet through a Fat Elvis stage, but now its looking foxy. I had a party. Not everyone came, but there were enough there to make it fun. I had my tarot read. Woo! It told me to study more. Blimey. I went to a club. I danced like the drunken fool I was to B+S. My mates decided to get my flatmate stoned. He was babbling like an incoherent fool quite soon. We had a bet to see how long it would be before he fell over. He had been drinking since 2pm, and had not eaten anything. It didn't suprise me. Got a dress for my birthday from my boyfriend. Saw two, bought the blue one. Think I'll buy the red one as well today. Heh heh. And some boots and a coat. And a belt, and all sorts. I am on such an emotional rollercoaster today. Really really upset. Need to do some studying, but I can't get my head to function. Cried while I walked to uni. Imagining bad things. I hate having hormones. They are crap. Need to talk to my boyfriend. Something is upsetting me. Wondering who to talk to about how I feel. Rang my dad and he sort of did his dad bit. He didn't give me any advice really, just said I should talk about it. And I should do whatever feels best. I think he was a bit suprised, to be honest. I usually call my mum for these chats. And mum is great for these chats, cos she gives me heaps and heaps of advice, and tells me not to worry, and gives me a verbal hug (awww!) and then goes a bit girl powery and things. Dad sort of mm's and ooh's a bit. He tries his best, bless him. Trying to decide on a future career. Should I be: 1. a diplomat( it looks cool) 2. An English teacher in Japan (for a year) 3. Go into advertising 4. A web designer? cannot decide. Quite like the idea of being a diplomat. But will they take me? My mum used to work for the Norwegian Government, so who knows if they'll be happy about it. Careers advice was suprisingly good. Apart from the bit where we're supposed to become modern language teachers or primary school teachers. They always tell us to be teachers in my department. I wouldn't mind teaching in Japan. Good money, and stuff. Have to go now. Love you all, a very confuddled idles. kiskiskiskiskiskiskiskiskiskiskiskiskiskiskiskiskiskis oh!! btw! I got a letter in New Woman this month.. I had a rant. You lot know what I'm like with ranting. You can't miss it. I'm the only ranting letter.

As some of you know--is this only a US occurrence?--Coming Out Day is this Wednesday, October 11, and I am ready to fly the rainbow flag, whee! Only, how to do it in style? I have been offered the loan of various rainbow garments, but for some reason I really want to make a t-shirt with iron-on letters. However, my wit seems to be failing me! I came up with the clever "Y2GAY" and was leaning towards that until my friend told me that there were already t-shirts that said that. I wanna be unique, yo! I mean, I only get this chance once, right? Sort of. So anyway, if anyone has any clever t-shirt slogans for a wee befuddled femme, I would be oh so grateful and wear yr words with the gayest of pride. Please help! You all have never failed me yet, I never cease to be amused by yr wacky hijinx. In other news: I live in the Wacky Arts House of my college (Hollins University in Roanoke VA) and tonight our group project was to bring in our favorite song so we could make a mix tape for everyone. I played "Dirty Dream #2"! Yay! It was a hit. Really, it wasnt my favorite, favorite song, I was also thinking of "She's Losing It," but after the girl before me played Michael Jackson's "Bad," wearing nothing but a short overcoat and dancing around the room peeing on herself, I didnt dare play anything so mellow.

Message-ID: Hi all It seems it may be the month for horrid boy/girlfriends. And may well be my turn to have a winge - yes.... I have spoken about my poor boy before. Finally I have decided to let him go - he doesn't love me, he says his heart is cold. This I believe is a result of his ex girlfriend dying in May 2000, a couple of weeks after we started seeing each other. My suspicion is he won't let himself fall in love with me, but if he ever falls in love with someone else I will be heart broken. Another horrible suspicion is he is only attracted to me, and that's all. It is hard to believe that such a sweet boy (29yo man) could be so shallow, but it may well be true. So to sum it up: - he doesn't love me - he doesn't want to be with anyone BUT - he does care very much for me - he feels close to me - he enjoys my company So I decided to let him go, even after he and I went through quite a traumatic hospital experience together, and I needed him. I knew all these things all along, the whole damned 5 months of it, but now I know that it was the best thing to do. Please someone confirm....it'll make me feel better.

Message-ID: <20001010082833.2839.qmail@web1608.mail.yahoo.com> When I found out certain types north of the border have been calling me Miss Asbestos Liver, a shiver went down my spine. How on earth will I be able to uphold such a reputation when I arrive in Glasgow in little over two weeks time? I mean, they're Scots. They drink. Lots. Except Jason 'Mark 'n' Lard' Andreas, but he's the exception that proves the rule. Lordy lordy, I thought to myself, I'd better get in training. What I need is a twelve-hour drinking session and lo! My diary told me it would be Scalarama on Saturday and thus the perfect opportunity was provided. Having mentioned Scots, it would probably be wise to gloss over the part of the afternoon that involved Germans, a muddy pitch and Kevin Keegan. I should have concentrated harder on Tompaulin. Baxendale were D!I!S!C!O! and P!O!P! and T!O!P! D!E!C!K! They weren't on for long enough though. The rest of the time I think I probably danced but, um, I'm not sure. There were lots of messages on my phone the next day that I couldn't remember getting. I do remember that it was Erica's birthday - she's now a Legal Girl - and she was wearing a very pretty dress. HB, Erica. Those of us that were the True Fans went on to see V-Twin at Blow Up! Mark C was full of good intentions, but lasted all of half an hour and went home before the band came on - pah! Father and daughter Moore, Chris Brown, Sophie (and friend) and myself were all down the front and DM has given a better description than I ever could because, well, memory doesn't serve. The realisation suddenly dawns that I'm writing a fairly lengthy post about something I can't remember much of. Plough on, plough on... I can remember thinking it was a good thing the singer's mic wasn't switched on. He looked like he was wailing a bit. His hat was nice though, a bit like the ones that I've seen lots of Jewish people wearing round Stoke Newington for Yom Kippur. Big and brown and furry. I hardly recognised Stevie, the old scruff. I don't know what's happened to his sharp suits, but a baggy old pair of bell-bottoms is a bit of a let-down. Smarten up, boy! As previously mentioned, Isobel looked simply divine. I was well-behaved and didn't stalk any of them, unlike some people. So, in the end I made it through from 2.30pm to 2.30am, ruined my red mary janes and gave myself a bit of a headache but I didn't fall on my arse, which is something I suppose. Chris Brown deserves much acclaim for being the only other ROCK person to match my drinking and dancing for the full twelve hours. Glaswegians, are you ready for me? In other news... Colleen deserves props for saying > FARGING as does John Maxwell, for dreaming about dancing daisies. Dancing daisies! David Moore (who I've mentioned enough already in this post, but what the heck) said cover versions (?) of Like A Rolling > Stone & I'm Waiting For The Man by soul singers trying to sound like Mick > Jagger. which I thought was strange because on a tree of inspiration, I'd have Mick a bit lower down than your soul singers - wasn't he a wannabe R&B boy?

They weren't a complete pile of toss, Paul. They did one fantastic, tremedous, amazing, wonderful pop song. The rest was toss though. And finally, I think Mark should invite Pauline Shivers to get up on the stage at the next Tigermilking. I'm sure she'd give a floorshaking performance. According to this website, she sounds expensive, but she's really quite cheap, hehe. http://my.genie.co.uk/mommas/audio.htm Juicy Lucy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Went shopping. Got foxy in a shop. Couldn't decide between two dresses, got both. Got boots. The first ones I tried on looked like wellies. �85 wellies as well. Hmm. So bought a sleeker chicer pair. and cheaper. Got all my birthday pressies sorted out, and I felt great. A new coat, two foxy dresses, a pair of knee high boots that I'm going to have to learn to walk in (I live in trainers.). Yay! Late for class, knackered cos I just had three hours about Scandinavian language history. Facinating stuff, it might be... Dunno, will have to check my notes to see if thres anything interesting there. Not going to do the indie soc thing. Decided to hand the responsibility over to a young sinister whippersnapper chappy at UEA. Afterall, the tarot said to study more. Have been getting my ego boosted as well. Like it needs it, but hey, I like it. Makes me go "yeeeeeaaah!". oh, and heres one to try.. play some Marilyn Manson. Go into another room. Doesn't it sound just like the Pet Shop Boys? It did to me when I was at the cloak room at a local club.. Anyway, gotta go and do some Norsk grammatik. Wish me luck on my past participle endings and getting the right subject and object infinite forms.

What happened to all the fans of no-nonsense, heads-down boogie-rock on this list? Aren't you all excited about the forthcoming gigs? London's East End and Dublin. The Cromwellian Conservatives at Jeepster have claimed Dublin for the UK. The new EP has got a picture of a nudie lady on it. Inexplicably, even though it's only a drawing, you can't see her nipples. The LP has got a pciture of Isobel forcibly holding a cat against its will. If you look closely at her face, you can see her trying to conceal her annoyance as the cat wriggles and squiggles and sticks its claws in her. There's a song called "Loretta Young". Who's he? I'm really looking forward to hearing it. I had a terrible shock this morning. Future Bible Heroes were on the radio. I tried to plug up my ears, but it was too late. It really was absolutely awful. I've got Record Collector magazine. Lucky old me. It calls Stevie Reverb's contribution to the Brian Wilson tribute album "lovely". I like to think Big Dave grabbed Wee Chris with one of those Tommy Cooper style extending arms. The other day I saw the trailer for "North by Northwest", which is a film by Alfred Hitchcock. In the trailer, Hitchcock churchills on about the plot and actors and so on. He says "Eva Marie Saint" to rhyme with "paint", whereas Lloyd Cole says it to rhyme with "font", sort of. But who is right and who is wrong I cannot say. Was Hitchcock being deliberately dim, or was Lloyd Cole trying to sound sophisticated by showing his mastery of the French language? Perhaps The Piefox will know. I wish I could go and see that exhibition of photos by Gail Chickfactor. There's nowhere I'd like to go less than New York, but I'd go just to see The Foxgloves gurning down at me from the wall. By the way, National Poetry Day passed virtually unnoticed this year. Coincidence? I think not. Does anyone know if there are going to be any more Papercuts, or have we all retired? Nice to see Simon Reynolds talking sense for once.

Due to certain things happening involving people changing rules so as to fuck me over slightly and not let me do the last year of the course I want, I'm leaving uni. But moaning is for, er, moaners, so lets stop all that. The upshot of it all is that I lose free internet access (sob) so until I can afford to actually buy a decent computer (possibly a while) I'll have to use these internet cafes I've heard so much about. Apparently they serve you tea on a silver platter, and it doesn't even matter if you spill it on the keyboard, they just bring out another one. And it only costs 57p, even if you stay on Sinister chat for the whole day talking to people you've never met, trying to make them think you're cool and handsome. So my new address for this purpose is allycook96 at hotmail.com. So any abuse in future should be sent to there. I'll stay on Sinister as well, which is probably not a good idea as I won't want to actually spend too much money so I'll probably just skim over them all, and just spend my time reading all my old posts in the archives, feeling good about how amazingly witty and interesting I used to be, before I became really dull. Unless I discover that I was always really dull, which is probably more likely. Anyway. Alder (Yeah yeah, that's what they called 'er): > Having mentioned Scots, it would probably be wise to gloss over the part of the afternoon that > involved Germans, a muddy pitch and Kevin Keegan. No, I don't think that would be wise at all. I mean come on, it's not often England are the ONLY British team to lose. And to the worst German side in a very old person's living memory. He he. And Kevin Keegan's "I'm crap" speech in his interview afterwards was one of the strangest and best things I've seen on TV for ages. Yes, I know Scotland are still going to get gubbed by Croatia. Lowery (Yeah yeah, it's looking awful showery): > and I guess I'm just gonna be single for a while > and that's cool. Cough! Splutter! Sorry. Robinson (Yeah yeah, he really is a Nobinson): > Ally, you nicked my slugs and snails can I have them back? Or at > least feed them some crab sticks, they like them. No. Piss off.

Message-ID: hark! i have been itching to post like a ten yr old come down with the chicken pox since two tuesdays ago when i discovered this intimate corner of the world...i adore corners. i fit into their tiny spaces rather well if i do say so myself... i am lisa. curse the name..its not so easy to live up to...the standards have been set. i now have a reputation to uphold: lisa has to "kiss men like a long walk home"; lisa has to be "beatiful/only slightly mental/beautiful/only tempermental"; lisa has to be "always looking for a fight" and "keep(ing) the neighbors up all night". and i dare not purchase the new album for fear of more demands...my hands are full enough as is...i've tried desperatly to keep up my side of the bargin. as for "kissing men like a long walk home"-that's the simple part. however recently there has been a terrible shortage in desirable men in pennsylvania (namely Ktown U)...(pish) whatever can a girl do? i suppose it's all for the better...kisses began to go beyond the long walk home...they continued (to my delight) up 4 flights of stairs, fumbling in my purse for keys, the door is thrown open, stumbling in half disabled by passion, and the rest is best when left to the imagination...achieving the "beautiful/only slightly mental/beautiful/only tempermental" peice of the puzzle required a bit more effort...none the less its been done...i have my neurotic tendencies to fall back on. i'm the pretty one shoved in some corner, back against the wall with a distant gaze that falls somewhere between the cracks in the ceilng and floor...as for "always looking for a fight"...that is the key to it all. what better to pacify boredom than drama?...the spice of life... count on capricious little me to have developed a list crush in such a short time...now i must cook up a scheme to get his attention...but we all know i will just go home and theorize about it until i have convinced myself that the job has already been done. curse such an extreme pacifism. kudos to whoever mentioned lenore...she resides in her little corner on my upper thigh...and to the boy who noted joan of arcs mention of breast feeding...i adore subtle obscurities... -lisa _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

It looks like the next stop on Robin's big dance marathon will be the Garage in Cineramasville on Friday, so work notwithstanding, I'll should see some of you there. Oh dear, I don't think I really know what "notwithstanding" means, so that last sentence was probably nonsense, like a sock on a clock. When I was little, about seven perhaps, Mrs Counsel's class, my favourite word for no reason other than the sound was "probably". People used to try to influence me with nice words like "dog", for instance, or "tractor", but I stood firm. My favourite bird was the oystercatcher. It's raining again, and the season makes me play Scott Walker records. I'm a bit of an agnostic when it comes to rain. Stuart writes about the changing of the seasons and I welcome that, but I can never work out if rain is a friend or foe. I think when the drops are big, and they splosh then it's lovely. Found out the other day that my friend has seven Belle and Sebastian t-shirts. He told me in a hushed voice. It was a bit of a shock, to be honest. I don't think I've even got seven t-shirts, or pairs of pants for that matter. He he, pants. bye Robin xxx PS: Youn, I'm as slow as a slug I know, but your tape's almost ready, I promise, I haven't forgotten. xx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

There were a few street folks hanging round the corner, seemed to be gathering bottles and cans for the refund money. They weren't intimidating, just a bit loud. My travelling companions were putting yet another issue before the committee and I was just checking out the scene. I saw this really attractive blonde woman walking across the street towards the corner I was on. One of the street guys turned around and flicked his cigarette fairly hard and it smacked right off the face of the blonde woman. My lasting image of New York, a shower of sparks around the terrified face of a beautiful woman. Then there was a bizarre B&S related incident in Rebel Rebel records. We were inside for a while, and had bought some stuff. Outside, La Renard asks me 'gonny gonny please gonny gonny ask the guy for that B&S poster' so unwilling / unable to tolerate such haranguing I go back in and say to the bloke 'Here mate, that poster in the window, can I have it?' and he says 'No, its an album laid out flat'. Upon closer inspection, it turns out to be a display card. Undeterred, I head back in, lift said card and say 'Listen mate, this is a card, can I have it or what'. Record shop bloke gets all huffy and defensive, says 'Hey I don't think I like your attitude', and takes the card off me, visibly miffed. I go 'I'll give you two bucks for it', and he says 'You come in here giving out attitude, I don't like it' and I say 'Ah'm from Glasgow mate, it goes with the territory' and he says, get this 'Well, you're in New York now, we got more, that's why I won'.

I disagree, actually. I sent Paul a very angry letter about his post about Orlando recently, as I thought it smacked of an indie purist attitude - but he put me straight. It was a joke! Oh, how I then choked on my coca cola! I am a member of this list and a hardcore Baxendale fan, one of a fair few. I don't think Fosca would see it as an insult to be linked to Baxendale, as they're friends on that sad little circuit we all know and love as the London tweeindie scene. Fosca do have pop songs on their album - but you're right, they are melancholic pop songs. That was actually what Orlando used to be all about - misery and despair wrapped up in a soulpop package which made you want to dance and shout. Baxendale write songs about American girls that steal your boyfriend, trainers, computers, loving the sound of dance music and wanting to fly away to distant lands because your girlfriend is annoying you. Fosca are less obvious. Tim (Baxendale) wants to be Craig David. Dickon (orlando, fosca) has always leant more towards the wordy and poetic, Cellos and mascara. I don't know, perhaps Dickon wants to be Craig David too. Or perhaps he'd just like to sleep with Craig David. I'd just like to say thankyou to James T and the rest of you that sent me things for my birthday - I was suitably touched. Also, Hello to the sinister massive who I saw at Scalarama on Saturday. Sorry I didn't speak to you very much, I was a bit busy being horribly drunk. Oh, and hello to the one of you who wrote 'stupid bint' on the Papercuts poster - burn in hell, darling! mwah.

(or face the consequences of my incoherent ramblings). Little B&S content, save they are Scottish, and, although I've been lurking lately, I thought I'd say something about Scotland tonight. I felt quite moved after listening to the news about Donald Dewar's death. I don't have much time for politicians normally, but Donald seemed like a thoroughly good egg, and stood out from the crowd in the way he conducted himself. So, I was feeling a little sad when I tuned in to see what I thought would be Scotland receiving the anticpated humping from the splendid Croatia in Zagreb. What followed would have been enjoyed by Mr Dewar I'm sure. A great performance from Craig Brown's men, with the cuddly, squeaky-voiced coach banished to the stand for being too passionate. Also, congrats to the English for improving on their recent dismal performance against Germany, and getting an excellent draw against the mighty Finns. Well done chaps, and that goal was definitely in. Never mind, eh? So, from death to football. Just change channel. Life, as they say, goes on. But not for Donald sadly, a man who never got the chance to enjoy his retirement and to relish the fruits of his labours. He lived to work, and that in a way, makes his "passing" all the more poignant. It's probably too soon and irrelevant to write all this crap, but sometimes you don't know how much a public figure had earnt your respect and admiration until it's too late.

It has been so long. I am being Belle and Sebastian creative again.The last time was in grade 10 (Many a year ago..) with my little claymation-animation love story.I remember it still. Sebastian gave Belle a flower,and she ate it,but it turned out it was a poison flower,so they died in a heap in each others arms. No one saw that though, they all thought my tragic little clay-souls were having sex.Anyways,so we had to do silk-screening; 1st project of the year. How Wonderful,I thought. Now I can do a B&S Fashionable Tee of my own design. And I have done it..4 (!) times over.Oh,why WHY won't it work for me? Tonight will be my last attempt. It's a fun design: dancing girls with knee-high boots,concave midriffs and Flip hair-dos. I am also searching for a new job,and happened to stop by at Lush. You know, that artsy handmade cosmetics place with products that have names like Angels On Bare Skin, Silky Underwear, and Blue Skies. I entered the store,and Belle and Sebastian was playing. (..Chalet Lines,by the way) "Ahhhh,Belle and Sebastian!" says Genevieve, smiling brightly and pointing heavenwards.Salesgirl only nodded at me...so either she's thinking a)She must be an incredibly sweet and interesting person,someone I'd like to hire. I simply must have her! (Now! On the counter!) or b) punk-ass bitch..thinks she's all clever knowing MY band. So in that new Hefner song, Darren sings "Pin me down" Do you think he is wanting his-two-wrists-grasped firmly-by-one hand-pinned-above-his-head? Everyone longs for this. Even Honey,you know.Although she gives the impression of a prim little princess (hands folded neatly in lap,docile eyes) with her crinoline skirt always freshly pressed, she frequents with robust farmhands... Sweetie was talking about boyfriend vs school.Boys come and go,but girl,your education! Grandma always warns me about this. "Now,now..don't let fellas get in the way of schoolwork" But...but... How can you think of term papers,when there is Stuart Murdoch in jodhpurrrrrrs and sinewy thighs (glistening in the moonlight,naturally) yours,yearningly genevieve _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Same day as DDewar said au revoir to the world. Right! Can anyone help me remeber the name of an eighties TV cartoon? I don't remember it, but I'll try my best to describe it. It was of the same school of animation as Pokemon. There was a gang of them, and they flew around in jet shaped spaceships. They wore helmets with birds of prey painted on them. They returned to a huge spaceship, that was full of colourful panels as a computer thing. They had a robot pal, who sort of resembled R2-D2. And he sort of stayed in the big ship and told them what was happening, but he sort of had a C3-P0 voice. Their name had something to do with a bird of prey. It was very early 1980's, cos I was only a little girl, maybe only four or five, but I was in love with that programme. SOMEONE TELL ME THE NAME!! PLEEEEASE!!! ITS DRIVING ME MAD! Boyfriend can't remember the name either, but he remembers what it was about, as I do, and we sat last night on the net trying to find out what or where it was. We did however find a few other 80's cartoons... See what you remember... Belle and Sebastian (this is the content! heh heh!) Centurions Gobots (crappier version of transformers) Biskits Gummi Bears Pole Postion Defenders of the earth (DEFENDERS!) the Puppy's further adventures (remeber! Petey? Dash?Duke? silly dogs with cravats trying to find Petey's owners?) The Racoons She-Ra Princess of Power Cities of Gold.... Boyfriend downloaded the Uslesyees theme tune onto his pootah, and played it to me. I hated Ulesyes! It was creepy! some bizarre Jesus man going through Space (space always creeps me out... what if you run out of air??) to the sound of disco music. "Ules-eee-eee-eee-se.." yadda yadda. Ikk. Anyway. Gotta go. Will someone e mail me and tell me the name of that cartoon I can't remember?

I've got a zillion questions to ask. First of all, has anyone heard the new Gentle Waves album? Is it good? Is the earth round? (please don't feel free to insert comments about Isobel in here - I get enough of that from my 'humerous' housemates) Secondly, when does the auction start? If I had a talent I would have auctioned it, but apart from being quite good at playing Zelda I don't really have much to offer. Though if anyone would like any help with Zelda, I will gladly try. I think that the people that make Nintendo games must be on the Japanese version of Sinister, for they are surely the twee-est of all the people in the world. Well, behind a certain Miss Owl, but everyone knows that she's the twee-est lass ever :) Thirdly, which Orange Juice album is best? I bought The Orange Juice the other day and it was ok, but I decided to take it back and ask everyone here in case there's a better one. Oh, and what Pastels album should I buy (I don't have any at the moment, so which is the best?). People on this list have so far recommended Hefner, Felt and the Field Mice, so I will trust your judgement :) But (my Mum says you can't start a sentence with the word 'but' but I have, and she won't know, so mneurgh!!!) it's grate. Aha, 'what is grate?' I hear you collectively whisper (not cry, for ye art all timid as wee little miceys) . . . well, I do this university radio show at Kent, and I get a 5% discount at the fantabulous Rough Trade. As do all my listeners, cos my show is EXTRA EXTRA special. Oh yes. For I play all the best music ever. On which note, has anyone heard the single by a band called Junip? It's quite good, and I think you might like it, if you could just bring yourselves to trying it. A bit like Dr Pepper, though I don't really like that, and I have tried it (well, it was a tiny little sip, but that counts, doesn't it?). But (there I go starting sentences with 'but' again . . .) I might try Irn Bru one day. Did you know why it's called Irn Bru? Apparently back in the olden days if you named a product after something it had to have that special something in it (hence cocaine in Coca-Cola). And obviously you don't want to drink iron, now do you?? Oh dear, I'm rambling a bit (well, a lot). All I really wanted to say was how excited I am about my radio show, and the discount at the lovely Rough Trade and everything. So if anyone lives in Canterbury and has loads of time on their hands they could always e-mail me and I'll tell them all about the frequency. Or people could just e-mail me about the show (or anything else, really), even if they live far, far away. But not if they're a moke. Okey dokey, I've got to go, byeeeeee, Ian. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

It was Japanese, hence the similarities to Pokemon. The little robot (7 Zark 7) was not on the spaceship, though, it was in an undersea base called Center Neptune. The voice was provided by Alan Young and every so often a message came through from a robot called Susan (who lived on Pluto) with a voice even sexier than the Cadbury's Caramel bunny and 7 Zark 7's antennae would respond in a priapic fashion. 7 Zark 7 didn't do very much apart from pace up and down and every so often he was able to fly by means of a cape on his back which assumed a sort of concertina shape, as the fancy took him. The commader of the group on the spaceship (who were called G-Force) was actually a Dr. (or possibly Professor) Anderson, who wore a white labcoat and had glasses which didn't have the bits that go on your ears (sorry, don't know the technical term for these), maybe they were pince-nez, who knows? There were five people in G-force, called Mark, Jason, Princess, keop and Tiny (who, ironically, wasn't). They all piloted different vehicles, these being, respectively, a plane (which started off with a propeller but then changed into a jet when Mark waved his watch in front of his face in a dramatic fashion and said "Transmute!"), a sportscar, a motorbike, a weird stilted vehicle and the spaceship itself (which the other vehicles all slotted into...there were lots of similarities with Thunderbirds and Gerry Anderson should sue). The spaceship was called the Phoenix. Every episode was sent fighting against a caped, masked character called Zoltar who came from the planet Specter. Somehow or other, Zoltar or one of his cromies had managed to secrete a large robotic machine of mass destruction inside the Taj Mahal/Great pyramid/Mount Rushmore (delete as appropriate) which would emerge and wreak havoc of Godzillaesque proportions. Oh and Mark was voiced by Keye Luke, who was also Number One son in the Charlie Chan movies. I'll stop being sad now, Mark. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Battle of the Planets was a heavily sanitised version of the Japanese original (called "Ninja Science Team Gatchaman" or something). The American production company removed large amounts of violence and swearing to make it acceptable for western audiences and added the 7 Zark 7 footage to fill in the gaps and explain that the massive body count at the end of each episode was "actually robots", kids.

There were some truly top kids shows in the 80s, but I think my favourites were the UK kiddies cartoons (except Superted, which was poo). It's just set me wondering though - did people from outside the UK get to see such masterpieces as Dangermouse, Willo the Wisp, Bananaman and the like? However, despite all my nostalgia... idleberry at yahoo.com writes: Kids shows nowadays do not match up, in PURE, CLASSNESS. I don't think this is strictly true - if you're a lucky blighter, you'll have Cartoon Network, and can see the magic of Cow and Chicken, Johnny Bravo, I Am Weasel and Dexter's Laboratory. They are wonderful! I remember the Belle and Sebastian cartoon series, but I remember I hated it 'cos it wasn't funny, and the series always seemed to go on forever. Now, it would've been much better if B&S had been around to score the music - chases to Judy is a Dickslap, Belle & Sebastian as the theme music (okay, it wouldn't be very appropriate, but it would be a helluva lot better). It'd be top. Maybe they could redub the stories to fit in with the songs. Ah, you can always dream... Well, I can't think of anymore stuff to write (except to ask, should I be worried if someone tells me I look like Badly Drawn Boy without a teacosy on his head? I mean, his album's a winner and all, but... I don't think I do at all...)

I have been sitting this afternoon watching the news on satellite TV about all this shit that is going off in Israel and to be honest, I'm a bit miffed about it. Can anybody explain to me why Israel gets away with the shit it does? I mean they are as I write this, launching numerous air attacks on Palestine cities because two of their soldiers were killed this morning in a riot. Fair dues, it's not on killing people in riots, but is it not a bit over the top to then launch apparently random and indiscriminate attacks on cities full of innocent people. What really gets me about it though is the hypocrisy shown by countries such as Britain and the US. When old Slobba was killing the Kosovo people last year it took about ten minutes (well ten minutes after it appeared on telly) before the threats were issued by Clinton and the air strikes started but they seem to turn a blind eye to Israel. Admittedly I was not a huge fan of bombing Yugoslavia but nonetheless NATO and that lot set a precedent by getting involved. Why after years and years of killing and generally stirring it up in the Middle East, ignoring UN resolutions, refusing to negotiate in peace talks and forcefully removing Palestinians from their territory, has America and NATO or whoever not got involved in bombing the shit out of Israel or at least ostracising them and imposing sanctions against them? I'm quite sure that the Palestinians are not innocent and have caused a great deal of trouble over the years but surely their cause is no different to that of the Kosovars in Yugoslavia and the Kuwaitis when Iraq invaded them, in that they are people who have found their land taken off them and want the right to live on it, and as we all know the offenders in those cases were both on the recieving end of a fair old pounding from the West. Perhaps it only works if there's oil or communists involved. On a similar subject why is Israel included as part of Europe? It's quite clearly not on the map of Europe but every year they get into the Eurovision song contest and they play in European football competitions and are generally percieved as a European nation (in lifestyle if not location). Perhaps it's because they have a predominantly non-Arab population and that in the eyes of the powers that be makes them alright, which is frankly racist and downright insulting to the rest of the Middle East countries. Personally, I hope the rest of the Middle East countries get involved in this current situation and flatten the place. (disclaimer: This last sentence is my opinion, you may agree or disagree with it but it is an opinion and as such I stand by it, please do not bother emailing me with abuse if you do not agree) Now for something completely different.... It was sad to hear about the death of Donald Dewar. Somebody on the list said that you don't really appreciate the impact a person makes until they die and that is so true. I don't really care too much about the whole Scottish parliament thing but now that Dewar is dead, I can now start to appreciate how much the whole thing meant to him and how much he worked to get it up and running. He also seemed like a genuine guy which is something of a rarity in politics. If you've read this far, thank you and goodnight.

Message-ID: <20001012201027.12442.qmail@web4305.mail.yahoo.com> I'd sort of hoped not to post for a bit, after sending two utterly inconsequential posts in the last week, but I'm very bored and feel like typing for a bit. Typing with two hands, y'know. Fingers on the right keys and everything! Anyways, I'm in one of these Internet cafes so feared by Ally96 (actually, it's not much of a cafe. I mean, I wouldn't come here for tea and scones of a Sunday afternoon with my maiden aunt and the vicar. It's more of an internet fast food place. One affiliated with a certain airline, which is probably horribly commercial and everything, but heck, my ideals go to pot when it's raining out) and the girl sitting through the partition from me keeps inadvertantly kicking my leg ever so slightly and I'm a bit worried that I might end up kicking back very hard. So I'm sitting in a very awkward position, with my legs as far back as they'll go. Robin Stout mused: "It's raining again, and the season makes me play Scott Walker records." In the immortal words of Damo Suzuki, oh yeah! I had a Scott Walker afternoon on Tuesday. 'Scott 3' is very much an album for bleak autumn afternoons, when it's raining out and you're in the house on your own and the room's freezing, so you've put the fire on for the first time this year and you're drinking lots of tea and looking out the window at the greyness and you're wondering just what's happened to your life. Etcetera. 'Scott 4' is more of an autumn evening album. I wouldn't try 'TILT' if you're at feeling at all fragile, or of a nervous disposition, mind. Marty GGGGG wrote of his troubles in blagging posters in New York. Somewhat bizzarly I once got a Tigermilk poster free with a haircut (in Edinburgh, not New York). Now that can't happen often, can it? If I keep going back perhaps I'll end up with the entire Belle and Sebastian merchandising range. I might look like Duncan Goodhew, though. Is it worth it? Hmm... "Isobel is making a Gentle Waves video, and she's going to Rome to finish it, because we can't get a sunny day over here. However, we need a couple of horses for her to ride." Erk... Was there really a kids telly programme called 'The Red Hand Gang'?! Surely not. One can only imagine what it was about! Actually, I believe the red hand gang are visiting Edinburgh this Saturday... At the risk of continuing the ever recurring 'vintage children's television' thread I have a Willo the Wisp audio tape that we used to play in the car on long journeys which I dug out at the weekend after seeing a programme about Kenneth Williams on Saturday night. Kenneth was ace. So hung up about everything. Can I nominate David White as the new Mark E. Smith for his, uh, intelligent and well thought out post about the Middle East? (Only kidding, David!) I think it might just be a very complicated business indeed and not one for the US or the UK or NATO to jump in feet first. With big heavy boots on. Not that that usually stops them. So's not to end a a minor note, haven't Amy Jackson's posts since moving to Glasgow been the most excited and exuberant (notebooks out tautology fans!) Sinister posts in a while? Much more entertaining than idiots like me trying to be clever. Well, that's another inconsequential post. I promise I'll keep quiet for a while now. Really.

BUT, there is are at least 6 million massive reasons for the state to exist and to say that you wish for israel to be flattened is a personal insult to every single racial minority, not just jews, who have suffred persecution. as you sit in your little white-boy ivory tower, having never had to fear for your life at the hands primitive mobs (with views like those you have expressed tonite), i don't think you understand at all. every single palestinian can run to another arab state if they need to, although they should never have to and if they feel they do then i agree that the israeli government should sort itself out, but jews have only one safe haven. yes, some of the israeli defence forces' actions are grossly over-violent, but this is a response to hundreds of years of always being hated. it is not anti-arab action; it is symbolically anti every bigot in our history. it's a silly way to be, but you can't suddenly live and let live because we've had a state for 52 years when for most of the rest of history, the world has been waiting for us to mess up. so, i'm sorry, but you are extremely insensitive and short-termist on this issue and i wouldn't say things like that unless you are prepared to be responsible for ALL racial intolerance. love charlie "imyouronlyfriendimnotyouronlyfriendbutreallyimaglowingfriendbutreallyimnotactuallyyourfriend" +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Please excuse my counter-rant. Isn't it so very sad that after all the world's been through people still hope other countries and their citizens get "flattened"? This miscreant is openly advocating the murder of innocent civilians. And on a B&S list, no less! What could this sort of person's appreciation for B&S amount to if they harbo(u)r such malice toward other people based on their nationality or religion? Aren't most of B&S' songs about people who are different from the majority? Doesn't the poster realize how sad the members of B&S would be to know that even one of their fans could be so cruel? If a fan of my band expressed such despicable animosity, I would tell them to fuck off and NEVER tell anyone they liked us. Then I would write a song about what an asshole they were. I should say that war and killing make me ill WHOEVER is doing it. I am partly of Jewish descent, but I do NOT support aggressive action by Israel. They, of all countries, should know better. Stooping to somebody else's level of killing innocent civilians is primitive and unjustifiable. (Live and let live!) But the proper response to such stupidity is not to "flatten" them -- that makes you no better than they are, and it takes no intelligence whatsoever. Use your brain and find some civilized way of making them stop! BTW, it's my understanding that FIFA originally grouped Israel in Europe to minimize potential conflicts (aside from matches) between Israelies and the largely Arab residents of other middle eastern states. I doubt very much the Arab world is pouting about not being able to compete in the Eurovision song competition. I hate to be the one to inform Mr. White of this, but the entire world does not necessarily consider acceptance into Europe as a sign that they have made it. Most of us are quite comfortable with our own civilizations! I thought we were further along than this. It seems we still have a lot of work to do.

Only the best show on television. Ever. By far. Bubbles is my favorite. She is cute. OK so here we go: I have both PPG videos, a bubbles keychain, a talking buttercup watch, and the fanzine. They have the playsets (series 2, mind you) at Meijers (if you Brits don't know what Meijers is you have my permission to fuck off), and I plan on buying them soon. As two of our sinister sistahs, the fabulous Julie S. and the overall amazing Marie Elia, can attest to, I bring PPG merchandise to anyone kind enough to provide me housing in far away places. Furthermore, I use PPG packaging of some sort. So, like, invite me over even though you don't know me. Actually, I tend to invite myself over, so just sit tight and pray to whoever you pray to that this piece of loveliness desires your company (or more likely: your location). And the soundtrack. There's an album, you know. The artist list is amazing: Devo, Frank Black, Apples in Stereo, Optiganally Yours, Shonen Knife, Komeda, Dressy Bessy, Bis, Cornelius and more. As the lovely Rhett Miller once said, it's fucking great. Speaking of that superfuckingsexygodiwanthishotbodyallovermysweatyskin boy, he also has a bubbles notebook. Is he great or what? Oh, since I'm on the topic of homoerotic fantasies, I've decided I want to kiss a boy. Let it be noted that the first boy I intend to kiss is Brian Winters. Sorry all you others, but there will be none of *this* for you. At least, not right now *wink wink*. I'd love to tell you sweeties about my latest sexual fiascos, but I really can't be bothered right now. The list of people waiting to be saucy with me is growing and growing and growing, I'm having trouble keeping up.. Oh, one last note. A friend of Superriffic Stoo has been making PPG drawings of sinister folk. The first is an excellent little number of Stoo as Blossom. I think. The other is of myself and fellow listees Julie, Marie, and Molly muthafuckin D(estroyah), the last who is currently enjoying some time in Spain. Why do I tell you this? Well, apparently Stoo is quite easy to manipulate. Be nice to him and maybe you too can be a Power Puff Girl.

maybe even sooner. if i had time i'd be looking for an apartment. actually, that's a lie. i have looked for apartments, but i'm too lazy to keep looking. still, i'd like to get out of this house, though i'd sure miss my dog once i left. but, that's enough of that. so what's this about someone's friend's friend moving in with beans geddes? i'm jealous. i'd like to move in with beans. of course, i don't live in scotland, so that might cause a problem. who knows, after i graduate next august, maybe i will. i got Kid A, and i'm not sure how i feel about it yet. as an album it's excellent, as a radiohead album i'm disappointed with it. i listened through it the first time just waiting for that patented radiohead rock out drum 'n' guitar work, and never heard it. so disappointed. truly, truly disappointed, if you will. apparently they'll be releasing the follow-up next year, so that's good. they'll be on saturday night live this weekend, i'm thinking of taping it. well, i think i've written enough for now. maybe this was a waste of time, maybe not. hope you enjoyed reading this as much as i enjoyed writing it. -kerry -- "even though you'll never come clean, you know it's true: those sheets are dirty, and so are you." - descendents, "clean sheets" ________________________________________________________ 1stUp.com - Free the Web Get your free Internet access at http://www.1stUp.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Yeah, this morning at about 5:30, it was still dark out, and the moon just looked fantastic. (I'm an echo.) Like you could reach out and touch it. I was thinking how nice it would be if someone else saw it and noticed, and now I'm sure that there must have been loads of people yesterday and today. The sky is beautiful in the morning, dark and velvety, then rarefied and ethereal. Is it very strange to sing to yourself on a walk? It takes about 20 minutes to walk to my department from my apartment, and I always find myself humming song lyrics, usually stuff that I was listening to that morning, on the way. Which I guess is OK as long as I don't stand too close to people, but then to have your lips moving constantly must signal something strange. Weirdo. I seem to be hounding Kerry for material. Her talk of taking her dog for a walk made me miss mine. And it's funny. I lost my red and white badge right away, but then the green one seems stuck to me. Even when I put it on my backpack on planes and buses. Someone even returned it once to my mailbox in the department, which was a little embarrassing, but I'm grateful to have got it back. Tomorrow I think I'll wear my B & S bus shirt for the first time, while this last spell of warm weather lasts. I got it a year ago but somehow didn't feel right wearing it here. Hot milk in the evening is delicious. I hope this isn't invasive, but I'm glad Stuart and Amy Linton have been enjoying each other's company.

Message-ID: <20001013.064302.-151915.0.gelflingag@juno.com> not too long ago i remembered some one had asked how much the original tigermilk LP was. you know. the one that they made as a class project oh so many years ago. any way. I'm walking around . i strut into a local record store and check the inventory. flipping through several of the rare classic vinyl that many record stores have. and there it was. the original tigermilk LP. in a clear plastic bag. written in bold black letters across the top was the numbers $255.00. and i remember thinking"Wow. That a lot of milk." and i have no idea why i thought that. seems like the 12th was a bad day for a lot of people. forget the 13th. full moon and all. i got in from work yesterday morn.(i have a nite job.)and turned on the ol' picture box. it was one big jumble of things. I'm not sure if all this is right but what i got from the news was that two Israel soldiers were killed in a mob beating in the streets. then Israel started to pulverize the entire city with heavy missile weapons. then some one said that the two soldiers were assassins sent to kill certain people in the crowd.(i think they mentioned the militia) but the police that were there were trying to stop the mob from killing the two soldiers and the mob overpowered the limited police officers that were there. then i remember more stuff. the uss Cole then was attacked by what i now understand to be Israeli terrorists in a raft filled with explosives. causing six to die and several injured. then it went back to the Israeli helicopters blowing up more stuff and killing countless innocent people. (i think pride had something to do with it.) then the stock markets all went really low. like 300 plus points under. but i really don't understand the amount of violence and death and excessive force that the Israelis felt they HAD to use. the Palestinians only have light weapons and rocks. no match for missiles and bombs. why did the terrorists decide it would be a good idea to try and blow up a boat? a large boat. this is all getting me down. but its driving me crazy. war isn't just hell. its pointless and stupid. how many f*cking people have to die over a piece of land? that's what this whole thing is about .isn't it? the holy land of Israel. what the f*ck good is it when its blown up. if I'm wrong please correct me. but from what i gathered over the years the Palestinians were there first. it was their land that was taken from them and given with out permission. all this only means that tomorrow its just going to get worse. later joe +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

They are wonderful! well, we have cable at home (ie. my folks have cable). Power Puff Girls are the best, Cow and Chicken have a good theme tune, but I don't particularly like it, Dexters lab is good too. BUT!! Its not as good as my childhood *goes into wistful rememberence of innocent years far behind her* for two good good reasons. 1. They didn't repeat kids cartoon episodes every week, there was always a new adventure (even if some of the plots were very similar) Unlike Dexter's Lab. I am getting sooo bored of seeing the same episodes repeated. And I don't know how many times I have seen Johnny Bravo with those evil dolls, or where he goes out with the werewolf girl. 2. I was five, or four, and bright colours amazed me. The colours, the ideas, and the idea that to pretend I was the girl in Battle of The Planets, all I had to do, was put on a sun visor and pull up my hood. And run around, or perhaps get out my bike and ride around. Same could be acheived for Dungeons and Dragons, all I needed was to wear my coat or jacket, and suddenly! Ah! I was invisible! You can't see me! Ha! Now, call me cynical and old, but it doesn't really appeal to me, to do that sort of thing these days. Now with modern cartoons. The majority of characters in modern cartoons don't really wear an awful lot of capes or anything. There is no gimmick. And thats why kids cartoons from the eighties totally rule, and kids shows nowadays totally drool. Are you trying to tell me that Tweenies is better than Playschool? Twice a Day?? (I used to watch both episodes when I was a wee girl). Exceptions to the modern day rule though include Simpsons, cos thats class, and Toy Story2. But still, no gimmicks. How many kids do you see pretending to be wearing a lab coat, a la Dexters Lab? The thing about it all was that in the eighties, you could go out, and play whatever you had seen on telly. Unless it was dark, or something. You didn't need the same plot, just the jist of it. It had that interactive entertainment thing going on. Pokemon comes close for interactiveness, but that involves buying cards/games/toys. Sorry, I'll shut up now.

(there is some isobel content later, i assure you...) joe... the issues of israel/palestine are a result of problems on both sides, and i'm not saying that the israelis are innocent. they aren't. but to spout forth what amounts to nothing more than ill thought, incorrect anti-israeli propaganda on a list like this is upsetting. the middle east isn't a situation that can be condensed into one post to a list, and if it is to be, you'd hope that it wasn't in the guise of hyperbolic bullshit (excuse my language) i suggest you go and read up about the history of this conflict and watch the news a little more closely. the facts you have stated are wrong on a number of accounts, and that isn't from some sort of pro-israeli stance, it is from a stance of common sense. i won't go through the facts you posted and correct you, i don't see the point. i just kind of hoped that sinister was a tolerant community whereby nonsense like yours could be avoided. david... to advocate the 'flattening' of a country is something i never thought i would read in sinister. its something you hope you will never have to read ever, anywhere. to say i was deeply shocked and upset by your comments would be a gross understatement. i am jewish and i have a number of (however distant) relatives who live in israel. you basically said they should be murdered and thier home state wiped off the face of the earth. i'm sure i'm not the only person on the list who felt physically sick by your comments. you have shown yourself to be on a par with racist hatemongerers on both sides of the conflict and no amount of apologies could possibly right the sentiments expressed. i understand, as i have said, that it is a complex issue, and clearly it is an issue you are a long way off understanding. childish incitements of hate are not a replacement for knowledge. you have evidently never read up about the issue and seem to harbour a rather disturbing anti israeli (and need i point out, the jewish homeland) feeling. i am not asking for an explanation to your post, as i feel that would only cause more offence, but i just thought you had to realise that through your post you have succeded in bring sinister to a new low of racist clap-trap. anyway, i got the gentle waves 4 track promo thing form a friend for my birthday and it is actually rather sweet. but when my modern computer tried to play it, it identified it as Canadian girl sportz metalers Kittie.

I was able to get past the fact that it was only Mike (singer) and three 'other' guys. Those three other guys are pretty freaking good musicians and they pulled it off very well. On guitar was James Stevenson (ex-Generation X/Gene Loves Jezebel). Mike is an awesome performer and gives so much. I would recommend catching them if possible. It was so good to hear those songs live again. As for the box set, you can get each individual re-mastered disc from alarm.com or at record stores for about $20. Although with the box set Mike records any Alarm song you choose and plays it acoustically on disc. Prety cool if you're a big fan.

I should be celebrating. I have just managed to become a student again. The University *finally* let me know that they were offering me a place as a postgraduate, on the Thursday of Freshers Week. Right up until the last minute, I was thinking I'd have to go and get a *proper* job somewhere. Instead, not only am I a student again, I even get an office to work in. Admittedly, I have to share it with numerous other people, but I like it anyway; it's a tiny room in a big old Edinburgh building, at the bottom of a steep spiral staircase (the internal phone book lists it as "Spiral Stair Room"). I now have three more years to learn how to be a Proper Archaeologist -- even though I've already been studying for four, it seems like I haven't learnt a thing. I am very grateful to all those people who have been discussing kids' TV shows. It's been about fifteen years since I forgot the name of Battle Of The Planets, and I've been trying to remember what it was called ever since. Actually, I can't remember much about it at all, except that my mother thought it was rubbish, as it only had the one bad guy. Still, it was better than Ulysses, not to mention Thundercats. I never trusted Thundercats after I continued watching through the credits one day and saw "Child Psychologist" listed (yes, *really*). You can tell I was an Annoyingly Clever child, because I knew (well, vaguely) what a Child Psychologist was. Really, though, there's one thing I have never doubted: the best kids show ever was "Mysterious Cities of Gold". It was Bluddy Great! Action, adventure, a big twist at the end, *and* it went on for months and months -- not to mention all the cool solar-powered machinery. All those other cartoon series that went on for months and months were a bit pants by comparison -- including, let's be honest, Belle and Sebastian. Small child with big dog? Girls' stuff, if you ask me. I noticed recently that a lot of these old shows are being released on video; presumably for the Student Market. I have the Willo-the-Wisp one, but I can never watch a lot at a time; it's too concentrated. After, say, three or four five-minute episodes, you start shouting GET THAT DAMN THEME TUNE AWAY FROM ME!!!! at the TV set. You can also get Bod on video, but Bod was *really* rubbish. Even *I* could draw Bod. When I was three, I could have drawn Bod. I admit, getting me to draw Farmer Barleymow is pushing it. But Bod's *easy*. Still thinking about cartoons -- I shall have to investigate the Powerpuff Girls, if the soundtrack is that good. The only time I've seen it was on a visit to a MacDonalds once, and the sound was turned off. I do like Dexter's Lab, though -- it's not just on satellite, CITV show it sometimes. One last thing, and something new to talk about (hopefully, it'll take your minds of genocide and other serious stuff of that ilk). Beards: a good thing or a bad thing? I woke up the other morning, looked in the mirror, and realised I had suddenly acquired one. Must be all that "not shaving" I've been doing lately. My girlfriend announced the other week that she wants us to split up; I think there may be a connection here. Any views on the goodness, badness or otherwise of beards gratefully accepted. Should I shave or should I no? (Bugger grammer; I couldn't resist that line). If it helps you contemplate: I have long, blond hair, but my beard is dark (it matches my single across-the-forehead eyebrow). I should send you a picture to help your deliberations, but I can't be arsed to get the scanner working; and anyway, it'd forever doom my chances of getting any List Crush votes. I could draw you a self-portrait, but I'd probably end up looking like Bod. Yours, ramblingly, -- Will S. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I thought it was only folks like us that noticed things like that. Folks like us? I mean English people, from your British 'Britain'. It's kind of typical of the Yanks, though, to put down things like 'that orangy glow from Chicago'. Round these parts, that orang[e]y glow sounds spectacular. I was struck by all that moon stuff, cos I was struck by a full moon last night. Can it really be that the Yanks see a full moon at the same time as us?

There were many cartoons that I watched when I was little, but few that I still love today. Powerpuff girls though--it's really cute. It's one of those things that are so silly, but you can't help but laugh. Music is great too--I was very excited when I heard the end theme song was by Bis. I find it kind of humorous that kid's shows sometimes pick up really good music. Anyway, that's all I have to add to the conversation. Will-Beards...yes, but on very very few men. It takes a certain kind of face to pull that one off. I wouldn't break up with someone over it...by any means. And congrats on getting back to school for your postgrad work! That's all for me.

Isobel is going to Rome for sunshine and horses. Why doesn't she get Stuart and Richard to dress up as a pantomime horse, or get a hobby horse and ask Stuart to run along behind her clopping his coconuts? I'll tell you why. Because The Gentle Waves have SOLD OUT. I bet they'll have loads of STRINGS on their album. They might just as well flatten the place. I had an Icicle Works album. On tape. It started with what I now recognise as backwards drums, or backwards bits of wood knocking together, a leftover trick from the legendary "psychedelic" era. But at the time it was terrible. Because I thought there was something wrong with the tape recorder and it was MY FAULT. Sometimes I think my upbringing wasn't entirely healthy. I think it was quite a good album, but I can't really remember much about it, apart from "my friend and I were talking one evening beside some burning wood". That must be where I got the idea that it was backwards wood being knocked together from. On the day when your technology catches up with my biology, I'll be able to download songs to a micro chip implant in my ear and see whether they really were any good or not. Those fishy psychedelic lyrics that Liverpool specilaised in in the early eighties are surely due for a comeback. Who wrote "stupid bint" on a Papercuts poster? Whoever it is will have me to answer to. Unless it was a poster of issue 1. Don't worry Erica, they're just jealous of your ten gallon hat. Fosca or Fonseca or whatever they're called fans will probably already know that there's a lengthy article about/by them on the otherwise excellent Tangents website. In an article about "the Stuckists", Duke refers to something called "The Tim Hopkins Weblog". Is this public? Where is it? I'd love to "log onto" Tim, although not in the biblical sense, obviously. MMMMMMMMM. I did a websearch for it, but ended up at the Sidmouth site. Looks quite nice to me. I'll rent a cottage by the sea... I've got a new record - "Jack Ruby Presents the Black Foundation".

Maybe one of you hipsters can help me out with a question I have. Has anyone ever heard of a band called "Stars"? I was looking through the paper at the list of upcoming shows in town and stumbled upon this band. They were described as "Belle & Sebastian with beats", huh. Sounds intriguing enough. I'm just scared I'll show up at the show and be the only one not wearing reflective clothing and whipping a glow-stick in the air. Cartoons --- One of the best cartoons of the late 80's was Jem. Pink hair, rock & roll, holograms - it had it all. Maybe it's just a girl thing though. I still have my Jem doll and guess what, her Jem-star earrings still light up and flicker when I flip the switch on her back! And they have to be about 15 years old, wow. Does anyone remember Smurfberry Crunch cereal? A taste sensation in breakfast foods unparalleled to this day. Nostalgic for the 80's, who would have thought.

Is it total geek and passe of me to fervently endorse the potentially enlightening possibilities of japanese animation, not solely of the kiddie kind?? Stuff like Urusei Yatsura and Ranma 1/2 (obvious choices, but for a reason...they ROCK!. Takahashi is a goddess - she's my pop culture idol!!!!) are top-dog for all out wierdness. Kids can watch em of course but the whole *wink wink* *nudge nudge* bawdy humour of it all is a special treat for us big kids -- both series' are just plain WIERD and consequently quite glorious. Ah! Megami-sama (Oh My Goddess is quite fab and fun -- comedy and romance and more wierdness); Kiki's Delivery Service is quite cute and wonderful... These are all things which kids could get into without feeling alienated and confused (even more that the grown ups anyway). There are THOUSANDS of interesting titles, most of which i've only heard about but the few dozen i've managed to see myself have been largely impressive -- check em out at your groovy asian (or if you're lucky, your groovy LOCAL) vid store!! gosh there are so many fab title to mention but you're all probably bored stiff right?? sorry, i'll try and jazz myself up for future posts. I love PPG too!! so cute and so naughty and grrly that i could just about burst! and Bis doing theme song = YAY! i'm really enjoying this cartoon thread - the insight into our collective childhood warms my dear little girl heart... thanks kids xkaty * * "What if everything is an illusion and nothing exists?

I've never heard of the powerpuff girls. When I was wee and, actually, far older than that (if still short), my preference was for stop-animation puppet shows. My favourite was a one-off feature whose name escapes me. It involved a bicycle repair [puppet] man called Sonny Duckworth who lived and worked at the summit of one of those hills whose vertiginousness one only encounters in fantasy (and Meteora and perhaps in China too). Sonny would have a whale of a time riding up and down the road which spiralled around the hill in his motorised tricycle, probably with a pet puppet riding pillion, but his dream was to build a racing car and win the grand prix... It was all the beautifully made model sets that inspired me, and I spent ages with bits of wood, sheets of tin and the wrong type of glue trying to build my own version of the racing car which, after some dastardley and mutley type shenanigans from the opposition, won our puppet and his pet puppet the race. Wars I suppose it is natural at a time of conflict in the world that peoples' passions should be aroused over a wider sphere than that of the immediate territory in dispute. There are, after all, ideas and ideals at stake which affect us all. So, however errenous or poorly informed or lazily reasoned these passions find their expression, I think it might be even more worrying if nobody did care enough to risk having and stating a view. I would think that our mettle is tested not by how successfully we can side-step unpleasantness but in how we attempt resolution because, inevitably and forever, there will be both misunderstandings and conflicts of interest. "At the age of four, [George S. Kaufman's] mother told him that an aunt was coming to visit and asked, 'It wouldn't hurt to be nice to her, would it?' to which he replied, 'That depends on your threshold of pain.'" I am tempted to quote about war from this book I got from the library today called 'the Portable Curmudgeon' but this is no time for flippancy in that regard so I'll quote Oscar Wilde on music instead: "Musical people always want one to be perfectly dumb at the very moment when one is longing to be absolutely deaf." Then again, Belle and Sebastian weren't around in Oscar's day... have a nice weekend folks #:D Gordon +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Which is why I have a sarcastic subject line today. B&S(ish) content: I determine that Belle is terrifed of me. I've met her twice in the last couple of weeks, and when I say hi to her she jumps a mile in the air and her eyes dart around looking for an escape route. I scare Isobel. I bet that pleases a few of you guys though ;) Christ I hate love! Isn't it the worst thing in the world? You just can't get away from it. I really am considering taking up drinking for the first time in my 19 years on this Earth. Does it help? Can you forget with the help of alcohol? I need an escape route, not a pleasure drink. Strange occurences abound at the moment. Couple of my team managers at work almost kicked the hell out of each other. Oh well. Better luck next time.

Morph. England, help me out. Morph. Claymation. Extremely lovable. Was on telly a few weeks ago as part of BBC2's 'I Love 197_" series... In fact, I was never the cartoon type - although Calimero is still hard to resist. No. Claymation was my forte, and Morph was the Stuart M. of sensitive clay figures. Bright, funny, emotive... The works. In a world full of running chickens, Wallace and Gromit, isn't it time to make a Morph film... I do believe so (no live-action though, please). Ah, it's good to be back...

I asked a French men what poupee de circe, poupee de son means and they said it was about paper dolls and paper sons, is this correct or was he pulling my chain, so to speak. After asking this French man I statred to think about pratical jokes like those flies in ice you get and itching powder. I was wondering who invented them, who thought them through, someone in the midst of time must have thought I know an brilliant way to get back at him I'll put two really itchy things together and put it down his back, then I'll find away to make his cigarette explode that I'll teach him. I mean someone must have really thought these things through or am I just being silly, yeah I'm just being silly. The people who make these gags must be really stuck for ideas because I've not seen any new pratical jokes for years, jokers block. We had a joke shop near us once, it closed down, people in Dorking have no sense of humour. Battle Of The Planets is ace, they show re-runs on Bravo on sky, 7sark7 is funny like R2D2 but cooler if thats possible, that Susan obot sounds quite a babe for a robot I mean. I was more into 80's films like The Goonies, Teen Wolf and Back To The Future, I even brought a denim jacket because al the kids in the Goonies had one and because they used to get them wet i used to splash mine with water to achieve the final Goonie look. awwww bless him. I'm going now as I've already said to much, byese bye David Strange (Dafyd) xoxoxoxo _______________________________________________________ Say Bye to Slow Internet! http://www.home.com/xinbox/signup.html +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <200010150112.CAA23182@missprint.org> Hi, I am really not that very interested in politics and current affairs and rather more egocentric so I'm going to talk about myself, and red bull, if that's ok. I've spent the last three weeks submerged in alcohol, it is, like, every single night. I drink, then I drink more. Which is real bad, I know one is supposed to become lost in an alcoholic haze during freshers week in Uni but not for three weeks, especially not for an experienced third year student like me who have (ahem) important work to do. I don't know. I wake me every day, all shattered, wondering whether I am down with the flu (which I am), I am tired due to constant lack of sleep? (which I am) or I am just hungover (which I am). An e-mail from Ken never really gets away from information about his sexual conquests, of course. Well, a girl that I kinda likes is next door to me in my hall having a party at my neighbour's now, great. If only I am a friend with my neighbour and I take the same interest in drum and bass that my neighbour does... actually then I would be a moke. I would really like to cry, and at this moment in time, the conflicts in the world are really, the least of my worries. All I would like to care about is whoever that wants to care about me. My head is too simple, tired and drunk to think about anything else. I am going to listen to "There's too much love" in a bit and hope that the excess love that seems to be going around will come round to me soon. I have borrowed my friend's four track recorder last night, and it is a rather clever piece of equipment, and I shall have a whale of a time recording stuff on it. Playing String Bean Jean is especially fun. This really sad song that I am going to write is going to happen real soon, if a sad person writes sad songs then oh yes, this song is going to happen soon, but you lot will just wait for a little bit more. As well as red bull tonight, I think I need a hug. :-( Four track recorders and red bulls Ken ====================================================================== Is it wicked not to care, when you say that you're mistaken thinking hopes and lots of dreams that aren't there? - Belle & Sebastian +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

So apparently have Teenage Fanclub, Grandaddy & The Dandy Warhols. On sale 20th November for £10.99, of which £4 goes to the charity. Anyone want to divulge which song they recorded? OUR MAN IN THE MOSHPIT (1) ROYAL FESTIVAL HALL Busy week for gigs. Followed V-Twin with the Incredible String Band & Delgados. The former weren't as appalling as I dreaded: although 30+ years have deepened the voices & cropped the range they still managed to move me when they sang numbers such as Air, old Sinister mix-tape favourite Ducks On A Pond, Painting Box, etc. The 36-legged Delgados were excellent, ending with a storming version of No Danger which even drew some audience members from their seats to dance! OUR MAN IN THE ... (2) SCALAGAIN Took Liz' advice & went to see Broadcast. The 60's theme continued (Delgados took the stage to a Bert Jansch song, Broadcast to Pentangle's Light Flight). Mostly I always just listened to the singer's voice & what the keyboard player did before, but on this occasion I was especially struck by the tricky time signature power trio that constitutes the rest of the band. The drummer is great, not just the way his gold tooth glints in the light of the films projected on the backdrop, but because he puts his entire soul into what he does. Even Trish just stood at the end of the gig grinning with pleasure watching him. Drums On Fire indeed. OUR MAN ... (3) GARAGE Where we met "Sinister's most beautiful couple" (Ailsa, if my memory serves me well) Arantxa & Robin. Hmm. If Whistler are getting so many gigs, couldn't that girl afford another dress? Another great gig from Cinerama, even though Leeds' answer to Bruce Springsteen was more RAWK! than I had ever seen him before, encouraging the sad sight of a 30 year-old moshpit.

Message-ID: It rained all day today. It's autumn. I hate autumn. So depressing. I spent most of the morning wandering around the garden. It's so dead this time of year; the flowers are drooping brown skeletons if they still exist at all, the shrubs are bare and solemn, and the hedges are so lonely with their solitary color. I want to ally with the plants, to give into the death surrounding me. I miss the birds in the trees, the squirrels hopping around with giant walnuts hanging out of their mouths. I miss summer. I put my walkman on and sat on the cobblestone wall next to our waterfall. I watched the wind and cried, cried until the tears turned my face into a damp mirror. I found no sun to reflect, so I cried some more. I threw my head in my hands and watched the teardrops slowly drop off my chin to form a small puddle on the wall beside me. I continued to cry; the puddle continued to grow. After I had created a substantial pool of tears I abruptly stopped and rubbed my eyes. I opened them to find a bird lapping up my salty lake. "Alas, who are you, fine, colored bird?" "Squawk!" Why was this bird (a tropical one at that!) here? Shouldn't he/she have migrated by now? Did he fail the remedial "Living as a Bird" class or something? I didn't know if I should pity or punish his stupidity. Upset as I was, i decided upon the latter. Using my lighter as a lever (I'm a smoker) I wedged a rock the size of an apple off of the wall. I stood and prepared to throw. "Squawk! Arr, matey, I be having a message for ye!" "Hark! Bird, you speak! What jabber have you for me, yonder winged fellow?" "Squawk!" And with that he flew away! I chased him around the garden, yelling for him/her to stop. My lungs aren't what they used to be. I'm a smoker. Frustrated, I stopped and sat down for a cigarette. Apparently the bird didn't want to give me his stupid message. And then: a light touch on my shoulder. "You! How dare ye trouble thou again!" "Arrr, I be havin' a message for ye!" "Well, tell me yer' bloomin' message or it'll be the plank for ye, aye!" "Arrr, you should be turning around, lad, aye!" And so I turned around. There, in the middle of the garden was a book. Where did it come from? I opened the cover. Inside it said simply "For Christiaan, x" "Arrr, I be havin' a message from yonder! Listmum Princess Honey of the Europes be sayin' you know what to do now, arrr!" "I-I--wait--you're the..? But, me? Why?" "Arrr, dinnae be askin' questions, lest I be makin' you'se walk the plank! Yonder Listmum Princess Honey says, 'go forth, go forth and find yonder Princess Christiaan of the Michigans, he shall know what to do with ye!' I be thinkin' you're a bloomin' retardo, aye, with you're crying and such. Aye, you should be a smilin'!" And so I opened the book to a random page. Or was it random? I believe in fate. Here is what it said: " The Song of the Daffodil Fairy I'm everyone's darling: the blackbird and starling Are shouting about me from blossoming boughs; For I, the Lent Lily, the Daffy-down-dilly, Have heard through the country the call to arouse. The orchards are ringing with voices a-singing The praise of my petticoat, praise of my gown; The children are playing, and hark! they are saying 'The Daffy-down-dilly is come up to town!' " I knew what was to be done. I smiled and stood up. I walked a few paces only to find a beautiful daffodil standing high in the midst of the decaying foilage. I plucked a petal and wrote the following with the brightest Love I could find: Dearest Honey: You know what to do. x, Christiaan I nestled the petal on the parrots back and sent him on his way.

Message-ID: It rained all day today. It's autumn. I hate autumn. So depressing. I spent most of the morning wandering around the garden. It's so dead this time of year; the flowers are drooping brown skeletons if they still exist at all, the shrubs are bare and solemn, and the hedges are so lonely with their solitary color. I want to join with the plants, to give into the death surrounding me. I miss the birds in the trees, the squirrels hopping around with giant walnuts hanging out of their mouths. I miss summer. I put my walkman on and sat on the cobblestone wall next to our waterfall. I watched the wind and cried, cried until the tears turned my face into a damp mirror. I found no sun to reflect, so I cried some more. I threw my head in my hands and watched the teardrops slowly drop off my chin to form a small puddle on the wall beside me. I continued to cry; the puddle continued to grow. After I had created a substantial pool of tears I abruptly stopped and rubbed my eyes. I opened them to find a bird lapping up my salty lake. "Alas, who are you, fine, colored bird?" "Squawk!" Why was this bird (a tropical one at that!) here? Shouldn't he/she have migrated by now? Did he fail the remedial "Living as a Bird" class or something? I didn't know if I should pity or punish his stupidity. Upset as I was, i decided upon the latter. Using my lighter as a lever (I'm a smoker) I wedged a rock the size of an apple off of the wall. I stood and prepared to throw. "Squawk! Arr, matey, I be having a message for ye!" "Hark! Bird, you speak! What jabber have you for me, yonder winged fellow?" "Squawk!" And with that he flew away! I chased him around the garden, yelling for him/her to stop. My lungs aren't what they used to be. I'm a smoker. Frustrated, I stopped and sat down for a cigarette. Apparently the bird didn't want to give me his stupid message. And then: a light touch on my shoulder. "You! How dare ye trouble thou again!" "Arrr, I be havin' a message for ye!" "Well, tell me yer' bloomin' message or it'll be the plank for ye, aye!" "Arrr, you should be turning around, lad, aye!" And so I turned around. There, in the middle of the garden was a book. Where did it come from? I opened the cover. Inside it said simply "For Christiaan, x" "Arrr, I be havin' a message from yonder! Listmum Princess Honey of the Europes be sayin' you know what to do now, arrr!" "I-I--wait--you're the..? But, me? Why?" "Arrr, dinnae be askin' questions, lest I be makin' you'se walk the plank! Yonder Listmum Princess Honey says, 'go forth, go forth and find yonder Princess Christiaan of the Michigans, he shall know what to do with ye!' I be thinkin' you're a bloomin' retardo, aye, with you're crying and such. Aye, you should be a smilin'!" And so I opened the book to a random page. Or was it random? I believe in fate. Here is what it said: " The Song of the Daffodil Fairy I'm everyone's darling: the blackbird and starling Are shouting about me from blossoming boughs; For I, the Lent Lily, the Daffy-down-dilly, Have heard through the country the call to arouse. The orchards are ringing with voices a-singing The praise of my petticoat, praise of my gown; The children are playing, and hark! they are saying 'The Daffy-down-dilly is come up to town!' " I knew what was to be done. I smiled and stood up. I walked a few paces only to find a beautiful daffodil standing high in the midst of the decaying foilage. I plucked a petal and wrote the following with the brightest Love I could find: Dearest Honey: You know what to do. x, Christiaan I nestled the petal on the parrots back and sent him on his way. There will be no more tears; it is summer again. x Love, Christiaan PS: now you know why I wouldn't tell you who I was going to pick, honey :) PPS: I didn't break any poetry parrot rules, did I?

I somehow managed to drag my little drunken saggy man breasts to the Badly Drawn Boy gig last night in Glasgow. Whilst trying to stand upright in the crowd I met a young lady who is on the Sinister list. This is where the second apology comes in. Well I was, erm, slightly tipsy and was probably acting like a bit of a tit-bag. I don't even remember asking this young lady her name. So here goes................ To the young lady from Badly Drawn Boys gig last night I apologise. If I have hurt or offended you in anyway I'm sorry. If I was acting like a drunken tit-bag then again I'm sorry. I may as well add some content seeing as I am here. I was wearing my Belle and Sebastian t-shirt last night. Does that count as content? Anyhoo............ I'm getting the Hell out of Dodge.

You have to create the right atmosphere to watch Twin Peaks, don't you? Coop was giving an in-depth and, dare I say it, unnecessarily long analysis of Wyndham Earl's psyche. Perhaps the scriptwriters had realised their episode was four minutes too short, or perhaps in three weeks time, something extraordinary would happen and I'd understand and be glad I'd sat through this and not got up to make a cup of tea. And then Tap... tap... tap... I sat perfectly still. The tapping continued, slow but regular. Gradually, I moved my eyes towards the patio doors. The tapping stopped. I squinted from the sofa and tried to see if anybody was outside, but my glance was met with a dim reflection of the room on the dark glass. I started to breathe again, and turned back towards the television. For a few minutes, all was as normal. Then Tap... tap... tap... This time, I sat up with a start. Nervous that some weirdo freak was looking in from the outside, I ran to the patio doors and drew the curtains, but the tapping continued and I realised that it was coming from inside, not out and it sounded less like something hitting glass and more like somebody gently tapping a drum with one finger. I directed my gaze across to the lamp and saw a large, brown moth hitting the shade, desperate to reach the light inside. Urgh! Moths! What to do? 'I know,' thought I, 'with my flatmate on holiday, I can use his room for the purposes of moth entrapment!' I switched on the light in his room, propped the door wide open and waited for the moth to flit through the dark flat to the comfort and light of the empty bedroom. Ha! Success! Off went the bedroom light, I slammed the door shut and settled back in front of the television to enjoy the rest of Twin Peaks. Then Tap... tap... tap... What? Another moth? No, this tapping did not emanate from the living room, but from the deserted bed chamber I'd closed the door on only a few minutes previously. A strange rapping it was, louder and faster than before. An eerie chill shot down my spine as I realised I must find out the source of the noise in order to spend my evening in peace. I crept into the hall and crouched on the floor, my ear to the door, listening to the rhythmic, rather hypnotic tapping. What should I do? Could I open the door? Could I bear to see the gory sight that would no doubt greet me? The tapping continued and I listened for what must have been five minutes or more, before I noticed a light coming from behind the door. You know how in Ghostbusters, the fridge goes a bit bonkers? It was like that, but in Stoke Newington. I felt myself drawn towards the brightness, but my feet were not moving. I was hovering, my toes approximately three centimetres above the ground, and being pulled closer and closer to the light. The door swung open! I was blinded! A foul-smelling wind of great strength swept my hair from my face! My eyes were forced open! Before me stood a giant moth, ten feet tall, with dusty, scaly wings that seemed to be made of... yes! Brown corduroy! What was this strange, supernatural beast that confronted me? Dared I look at its face? I dared! I recognised those spectacles, that floppy hair! It was... No! Yes! The face of... Chris Geddes! AAAAAAAARRRRRRGH! The Geddes monster came at me with an axe in his hand, swinging it from side to side and flapping his wings in a really spooky way. The sound of Frank Wilson came from nowhere and the Geddes monster started to spin. He spun so fast he started a little whirlwind in my flat, sending books and records and tealights flying all over the place. I ran into my room and buried myself under the duvet, because that's supposed to keep frightening things away, isn't it? My arse does it. The fiendish beast backflipped into my room and launched an attack on me so ferocious I can barely bring myself to describe it. Clump! The axe came down on me, severing my left arm. Slash! A knife found it's way between my ribs. Tinkle! Hundreds of haunted piano keys buried me alive, their weight crushing my lungs. Gelatinous blood sprayed the walls and stained my duvet cover. 'My goodness,' I thought, 'even Jacko from Brush Strokes would take ages to clean this mess up.' And then... Silence. The ferocious attack is over and the hideous creature has disappeared, leaving me beaten, bruised and in need of paramedics. I can hardly move and the phone is in the other room. I know the end is nigh. In the absence of a pen, I write this in my blood in the hope that somebody will read it and Be Afraid __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Autumn, and Hallowe'en Message-ID: <20001016121710.1880.qmail@web618.mail.yahoo.com> Morph was indeed king. I see the whole likeness of Stuart Murdoch and Morph. They both have M in their name.... and both end with a H. But seriously, Morph was cool. He was a character that really was unique. So if Morph is Stuart Murdoch, does that make Kermit the Frog into Woody Allen? Power Puff Girls. My brother got me Buttercup as a soft doll thing, and as a keyring. Power Puff! Autumn is ace. Enjoy it. Its not as hot as summer, exams are still months away, and Christmas is round the corner. And there is a lovely scent of bonfires here in the Norfolk air. Its a good season. Plus, what other season gives you an extra hour to lie in bed? Not Spring, thats for certain! And theres something cosy about it all. Hallowe'en. I love Hallowe'en. When I was in Norway, two years ago, I held a hallowe'en party. The thing is, they don't really have it there, but the Norwegians whop came, put a hell of an effort into costumes. One girl tied rubber snakes into her hair, another covered herself with tin foil, and somehow made herself into some futuristic woman thing. She used tinfoil, blue material, and put wire in her hair tomake sticky out plaits. A couple of girls dressed up as Playboy bunnies, people really put a lot of effort in. It doesn't matter what you are supposed to be, just be creative. Tinfoil, tinsel, glitter, face paints, rubber snakes, low cut tops, hotpants, whatever you can think of. Imagination is the key, not really going "as " something. It was a trully cool Hallowe'en party. I got drunk. Anyway dearies, I must go and read chapter three of Jonas for two o clock, pay �500 rent, (even though I don't have it) put a cheque into my account, buy a TV licence, and do all sorts of other grown up things. Sitting at the pootah all day is not an option. I'll do that tomorrow. Love, Idleberry __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Messenger - Talk while you surf!

Message-ID: <383438601.971711665539.JavaMail.root@web584-mc> Hello all, It's Monday again. I hate Mondays. I bet nobody really likes Mondays, but still, I hate hearing the clock at 6.45 and realising it's Monday again, that I have to get up and get my body to the Uni (as my brain stayed under the duvet). Sigh. I was back at my parents this week-end and it was cool. As I am back every two or three months so they treat me nice, my mum feeds me more than necessary, my brothers are nice and polite to me, and my dad tries to avoid painful conversations like my future as a graduate, even if he doesn't really manage to do so. Well I discovered afterwards they needed me to install stuff on the pooter, so they had to be polite. How corrupted is family love these days... During the week end, while doing nothing on the sofa, I started thinking again about oranges and its rhymes. English is a funny language, really. For example, "skint" and "pint" end up with the same letters but don't rhyme (or I say it wrong, which is a possibility). I hope you will admit that is not very logical. I guess being Red Teletubby is not really in the whole spirit of Halloween...What could I be?

I hearby declare that the closing date shall be FRIDAY, so get your smocks and berets out and get on with it *Louis Theroux* is the bollox, obviously, and apparently when interviewed in the Grauniad the other week said his favourite band were, hey, Belle and Sebastian. I remember when we used to get all this kind of news hot off the wordprocessors... *NUDE YORK* I'm going in three weeks, me :) xoxo CarsmileSteve +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <20001016173751.9235.qmail@web4302.mail.yahoo.com> Hey kittens Thought I'd make my bi-annual peek from around the curtains of lurker-dom to harrass all you poor sinisterinies. Hope you are all alright and that you are wrapping up warm. Hot toddy is always good at this time of year. See... what I want is some help. I have this thing that I have to do and I, well, I want you lot to do it for me. See I have to write a textual analysis of a song for my pop music class (and you call this work beth???). I chose Judy and the Dream of Horses. I have to come up with adjectives to describe struan's voice. Now, despite getting an A in my english language gcse, I don't know what an adjective is. So far, I have come up with 'earnest'. Is this even an adjective? Opinions on this would be muchos apprieciated. 'Whimsical'.......... I dunno! Also, what is the thing about belle and sebastian? Why do people like them? If you could use words like 'subtextually' and 'juxtaposition', words that a pretentious student would understand, that would be much apprieciated. Ok, that's all. Sorry to bother y'all. If there's any listees from lesta, come and see me in the waterstones on market st on mondays, thursdays or saturdays. I am the freakishly tall girl behind the counter on the first floor. Love beth xxx P.S. - What has happened to Jen, she has not emailed for a while. Have the old ladies cooked her in a pie and eaten her? The old bitches. P.P.S. - Hey to devonshire toby if you're still out there. ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

RAINBOW BRITE!!! Any one remember that? It was a kid's tv progmramme in the late 80's/early 90's about this girl called Wisp, and she found a magical rainbow belt, and she became Rainbow Brite, and she freed this horse that was trapped in ice and it became her magic horse, and then she freed all the colour kids and restored colour to Rainbow Land, and then everyone that lived there had adventures? I used to be obsessed with it, only the toys were really hard to get, and I had a Rainbow Bright, and her horse, and Patty O'Green (the green colour kid) and I still have them ,and I was telling Ian about this and he found me an ace Rainbow Brite website, and now I've become all in love with Rainbow Brite and all her colour kid friends. And it's grate. And I found a massive Rainbow Brite doll in a shop today, and it was 15 pounds, and I frowned and made puppy dog eyes at the lady in the shop until she gave me it for 7 pounds 50 pence. And I'm well pleased. And I've been going about with a purple star on my cheek all day today. And now my mission is to collect all the colour kids dolls. So if anyone sees any, let me know. The best colour kid is Shy Violet. She has knee high socks, and big glasses. She should be on sinister. The other best colour kid is Stormy, who is a sort of goodie, but with serious attitude. She says "I never had the chance to make things bright and colourful" and I love her for that. Both Stormy and Shy Violet have purpley grey hair. I made Ian embarass himself in his History class, because I put the Rainbow Brite theme tune into his head, and he sang it out loud in a lesson. I am very excited about Wednesday, because I am meeting John the Sinister Kid and I am going to Laserquest with him, and he is going to wear make-up and glitter and a feather boa (not THE feather boa though), and we will spread tweeness to glasgow and play ultra-violent computer games, as all indie-kids do. For halloween I am going to be a lesbian Jedi knight in a ballgown, who uses the force to fly on a hoover. What do you think? I was in the music shop today asking about the FISHYCLAP music book, and the supplier who was in was saying that his friend's son was in Belle and Sebastian only I didn't ask who his friend's son was. I wish I had now. He was also saying about the real reason B&S took time out, only I don't believe him, though it was probably true. I have to go now and fix my little brother's computer, because he's killed it again. Hugs, Jen Ps.

I�ve just worked out how to use the printers in here. Possibly going to be very useful in the future. I�m always very impressed with things when they get printed. See, first they�re up on the monitor and that�s hardly an existence, especially if, like me, you lose files easily. I think they hide behind the back of the computer. But then, you go and print, and it�s like a book, which is real and you can pick it up, and even destroy it should you need to. And it looks so tidy, so very much more tidy than anything I could ever handwrite. Hurrah for printers! I�ve got an awful sore throat. True, it�s not quite consumption, but it is annoying. I feel like keeling over. Mucus will follow. It always does. And I still can�t see the point in mucus. I think I brought this up last year (sic (sick)). If I can�t comprehend mucus how will I ever understand how airplanes stay in the air? Is it because they have �air� in their name? No, it isn�t because then bi planes would have to fly in bi people. Or bicycles. It simply isn�t feasible. Imagine the havoc! I am glad that Lucy has publicly revealed what she�s been using Nick�s room for. Do you like moths Nick? I�m also glad that Lucy has gone mad. It suits you dear. Last night I too went mad and let Mark cut my hair. It looks ok though and I still have all my eyes! Would anyone like to come on holiday with me in the Lake District? I have every intention of going. It has hills, I believe. I shall take my roller skates. And plenty of bandages! I �m terribly excited about this Christmas album thing. Actually, I�m not, because enthusiasm is dreadfully over rated and I try not to indulge in it. I do like a Christmas album though. Last year I listened to Phil Spector�s each time I was engaged in anything at all festive. What great fun! Anyway, I must go and prepare myself for a thrill some lecture, and find some water so I don�t have one of those coughing fits where you cannot stop and your life flashes before your eyes and you get very embarrassed. Oh no! Good day lix _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Shivers) Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2000 06:14:09 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Sinister: Do Re Me (Forget About The Do And Think About Me) Message-ID: <20001017131409.13076.qmail@web6103.mail.yahoo.com> Tuesday! I like that day... Tu-n-esday! I'm back from the spa I went with Daniel. Oh! I had a great time, I can assure you! Daniel is perfect; he even likes Belle and Sebastian! And in between talking about Heideger, snogging, and having our bodies massaged by experts who used all kinds of oils and massage techniques, he did confess his love for me!! I never felt happier in my whole life! And I have led a very exciting life till now, mind! But I'll tell you more about Daniel and my plans to go back to England and live there with him in my next post 'cause now I have to answer to some fellow sinistereenians and shed some light to this mystery named "Pauline L. Shivers"; which is actually no mystery at all!! I'm just a girl who lives in Prague! What's so mysterious about it? I keep receiving emails from people asking me about myself, call me a 'bullshiter'(OK, that was a praise actually coming from this certain person whom I find very charming), insulting me some more assuming that my name is a bloody anagram! Many of them asked me that... Once and for all: I'm not an anagram! Do you think I'd be so plain and with no imagination at all to just use an anagram as a name? anyone can do that! there are bloody machines in the net that do that for you, for christ's sake!! aah people! you don't give me the credit I deserve... So, I'll make an exception just this once and go to certain posts: Miss Juicy Bruisy Lucy said: > And finally, I think Mark should invite Pauline > > > Shivers to get up on the stage at the next > Tigermilking. I'm sure she'd give a floorshaking > > > performance. According to this website, she > sounds expensive, but she's really quite cheap, hehe. According to this site Pauline Shivers is a soul, I reckon, singer! Blimey! I had no idea! and she's quite expensive, where as - and Lucy is right here - I'm quite cheap! I just hope the singer Pauline is black so she will be my yang and I'll be her ying! you know... black-white expensive-cheap! And I'd love to get up on the stage of the next Tigermilking! I couldn't possibly sing but I could entertain you in many other ways, far more interesting than singing! I could do a Patti Palladin thing though singing "let me entertain you, let me show you a really good time"! But I'd definetely need someone to do the Johnny Thunders' bit! any offers? And then PFave sinee listee, typed: <>Frauline S. Livers<> I liked Frauline, but Livers?? Frauline's a bit fruity and juicy but Livers? it's a bit ticklish but still reminds me of butchers! >>>My fave sinister listee, PF, seems to have landed in a more *real* world! I miss the old PFantastic, sur-real-istic era!<<< > a) that's very nice of 'her' - I think. Of course it is nice of HER! and it is a 'her'!! what's all this? first my name, then my sex!! I'm deeply hurt! > b) If I didn't know better, I would suspect that FSL > was a name for the boy Trouss�. But even I know > > > better than that. The boy Trouss�, whoever he is, takes far more credit than he deserves! this name is mine! what does a boy, and especially one called Trouss�, which means something silly in french which I cannot remember right now, has got to do with a glamorous, aristocratic, witty, fatal girl like myself? PFlamboyant-ish, you're lucky I have a week spot for you and your posts... > c) It's true that the pinefox has become more > > > > > 'realistic' in its modes and fixations. But the > > > > reason is surely obvious. He first says that, leaving me all dissapointed believing that the PFantastic era's gone and won't be returning and then goes on saying: > I am under the > hard-to-avoid nfluence of Yo La Tengo.

But one thing's > > for sure - someone, > somewhere [in summertime] is keeping it ReaL. You see? He did it again!! He just left me swooning after reading this paragraph! Can you see the references? can you see the semiotics? I don't know who Phil Lynott and Gary Moore are though... should I know them? I don't think so! Or like Stephin Merritt would say "a little fear, a little sex" and I'm done with it for now, that is. And then the sweetest Jen typed whilst making bubbles with pink soap, wearing a lavender jumper and having chewed bubblegum on her hair that bad boys in school threw on her: > Ps. There's a lady called Mrs Shivers there. Pauline > L, any relation? Yes, there might be a relation! What's her first name? Is it Leonora? If it is, she might be my grandmother! Oh it's a long and sad story that's bound to bring tears to your tweeyes! Leonora was married to my granfather Egon! Egon was the child of my great grandfather, Stephan, who ran away with the maid, remember? When disinherited Stephan left our country he went to England and started all fresh; his son from the maid, Egon, was married to Leonora and had my dad! Leonora was a school teacher somewhere near Edinburgh! My grandfather met her during a business trip and fell in love with her! She was so pretty! But when grandpa Egon died and Big Aunt Myrtles invited us all back to Prague, she didn't include grandma Leonora to the invitation; she didn't want her to come back to Prague; you see, she wanted us to go back but she wouldn't like any reference to our family's dark secret; and Leonora wasn't going to keep her mouth shut! she was a very independent woman, always saying what she had in her head! She'd never obey to Aunt Myrtles' orders and desires, like my spineless dad does! She didn't want to come to Prague with us either! Instead she went to live with her younger widower brother! So, I don't know! Maybe Jen's Miss Shivers is my grandmother! Is she peeing on her bed Jen? That is all for now! I have to run! we're going for horseriding with Althea, Daniel and their cousin who's just arrived from England, Violette! She's very sweet and aristocratic, but quite demure, even though I have seen her lingerie collection and it really is saucy! But more about that in my next post! I'm so late!! Pauline L. Shivers that makes sinister all quivers she's that aristocratic slag who lives and reigns in Prague __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

So before I go on I apologise for the huge lack of content and hope this doesn't upset anyone. Just this morning one of my esteemed colleagues just happened to do a Roland Rat impression. Well after all the talk about old cartoons etc I thought that some of you splendid people would be able to help me out. I've been looking on the internet for some sound files and haven't been able to find any although I did find a beginners guide to Roland Rat. Does anyone here no a good website that might have some Roland Rat sound files? Ever since this morning I've had spontaneous bursts of the giggles which has attracted some strange looks from the people in my office. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I'm about two weeks out of the nursery and drowning in lovely tweeness. At least now I've got something to do in those too-short-yet-too-long uni breaks that go for an hour. i like when people use headings... !!!LIVID!!! Any Listerines (has that term been used before?) going to livid wanna meet up? two places you'll definitely see me are Not From There and Yo La Tengo. Wearing my "the sounds, the sounds, they're beautiful!" texta tee-shirt. and probably cords. !!!THE MAGICAL TRAGEDY OF "ELVIS TAPE 1", STARRING PAVEMENT THE MELNIKS AND ME!!!! I love tapes; I adore winding them with a pen, I love fixing them when they're twisted, I love the way they go all wibbly in the middle of yr favourite song. Here is a story about my favourite tape. Several years ago, when my first girlfriend Gina came to my house for the first time, she brought two CDs and a video. The video was Dazed and Confused, the seedies were Wowee Zowee and the Melniks- "Have you ever noticed that Gordon from Sesame St looks exactly like Errol from Hot Chocolate?". I've probably got that title wrong. Anyone who knows the Melniks, you are cool. Anyone who likes the Melniks, you are truly HIP. So anyway, when she left i kept the seedies and taped them, on either side of a tape marked "ELVIS TAPE 1" with white typing on that red tape-gun stuff. Within a year, Gina was gone and the tape was wibbly. Then one day, the tape turned inside out, so everything sounded backwards. So I spent an hour one night winding it all out and putting it back in right. So I listened it again to reward myself for my hard work, and it reversed once more. Anyway, this process repeated over about 20 train journeys and long nights. Of course I couldn't get the seedies off Gina (although I did try) and of course I couldn't afford to BUY them. This was all last year. This year I have had several half-hearted attempts to make ELVIS TAPE 1 straighten up and fly right, but it kept confusing me, so I'd wind the whole thing thru, to find I had stuffed it and it was even more backwards (hmm???). BUT (the end is nigh folks!) last night I did it! I (sort of) fixed it! If only I could apply myself to unimportant crap like assignments in such a way! RAH! so i put it in the stereyereo and taped it straight away. Once Pavement song was completely stuffed, and several Melniks songs backwards, but still RAH! anyway, in this process, ELVIS TAPE 1 finally DIED a quite ugly death, all twisted and mangled and rustly-noise-making... but a very noble death for a tape! yes... and he lives on now, through TEAC 90. HURRAH!!!!! sorry. not sorry. ben:) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: hello again, this is my first post to the list. honey never told me that i was let out of the nursery, so naturally, i just figured that i had been bad or something, and never tried to post. i've been reading posts for quite a long time however. First: sorry to bother G.W. with private posts pertaining to pish, if nothing else. Second: my introduction into the world of music began with none other than Snoop Doggie Dogg. Now i feel sorry for him (because he really has no talent and must look in the mirror and know it, that has to suck, yeah). My first ever absolute favorite band was blur. they still are in fact despite all that blur is shite business which is old, yes, but however right mogwai are now, nothing is better than modern life is rubbish; not even young team. I love B+S, but, ask myself sometimes nowadays, if I still do. Theory on the latest album: They deliberately put out a shit record to persuade mainstream junkies that they are really nothing special, but plan to return, when forgotten by all those undesirables, with none other than the best album ever made. Anyway, I will always love them, if not for everything else, than at least for Sleep the Clock Around (live version)and Like Dylan in the Movies. To people who may have went to George Watson's College (Isobel's alma mater, yes)in Edinburgh: I am one of the children who participated in the Scottish/American Exchange with the Harley School, if that rings a bell. There is a cemetery at the end of Prince Street (i think) with a life size statue of Abraham Lincoln atop a pillar, with a slave worshipping him. I stood next to Abe on a rainy monday evening. Finally, if there is anyone on the list who goes to University at Leeds, takes art classes, and knows Susan Berridge, please tell her hello for me.

Message-ID: <006401c038d9$c7fd5160$836137d2@mikelsen> remember me? I used to have a big rant every week or so, but have been in hiding for the last month or so. No reason really, except that I have written a few big posts and then deleted them, thinking they were bollocks. Still ... here I am, back at the ol' keyboard. Righto .... ***BELLE AND SEBASTIAN CHRISTMAS CAROL SHOCK*** Very interesting, although a little annoying. I hate buying albums for only one track. Abmitedly, the listing for this album looks really good, but nonetheless, it's the Belle & Sebastian track I *need*. Shame they weren't releasing a single instead. (sigh) And whilst on the subject of Belle and Sebastian and Jeepster, why don't i get new Jeepster newsletters anymore? Why, Mister Kitchen, why? I used to love getting all the new Belle & Sebastian gossip before it hit the pages of the NME. But in the last few weeks there has been the anouncement of this Christmas album, and also the new Gentle Waves album and EP, and from Jeepster I have not heard squat. What on earth is going on? Jeepster, I thought you owned my soul? Someone mentioned Orlando being signed to Jeepster, and was slagging Jeepster off. I have a couple of Orlando EPs, and I'm sure they're *not* on Jeepster. Nonetheless, quite liked Orlando actually .... ***CROATIAN WEDDINGS*** Been to a few over the last few weeks. (My beloved fiance is Croatian) They're scary, and I can undertand Isobel when she sings "and a family like the Mafia". Everyone at them wears lots of gold and kisses each other on both cheeks. I dread getting married, because I know that it'll end up as 'traditional Croatian wedding" with about 200 people I don't know, and my half-dozen or so friends. Still, if "My Wandrering Days Are Over" isn't played as we leave the church I won't go! It's my one 'non-negotiable'. ***NEW ZEALAND MUSIC*** For anyone who cares, I am seeing The Clean play tomorrow night! one of the worlds greatest and most influential indie bads, Woo-hoo. No offece to any Pavement fans, but I am sure there would be no Pavement were it not for The Clean. I am very excited ..... ***THE GO-BETWEENS*** Very little mention has been made of the new Go-Betweens album, "The Friends of Rachel Worth", which is a shame, because it's a damn fine album. (Possibly eclipsed by "Kid A" in terms of discussability on this list, I guess.) Anyway, go out and buy it - you won't be disappointed. Speaking of disappointed .... ***HEFNER'S "WE LOVE THE CITY"*** Hefner need your help. As some of you may know, there are *two* Hefners, the great indie stalwart we all know and love, on Too Pure, and also Hefner the solo artist, whose records apparently suck, so I am told. Anyway, on the www.amazon.co.uk "We Love The City" has had some really bad reviews from people who bought it thinking it was a new album by dull dance Hefner. So anyone who feels the urge, go to the www.amazon.co.uk site and write a glowing review of the album. At the moment there is only one "good" review and two bad ones saying "this Hefner sucks, buy records by the other one", giving it an average customer rating of only two stars. so ... CUBS - DO YOUR BEST. I'm sure Darren and chums will be very proud of you. hell, I've just submitted a review, and I haven't even heard the album yet. Hooray. ***SODASTREAM*** Bloody hell they're good. I finally got a copy of the "Enjoy EP" and it's genius. Everyone, go out and buy 'Looks Like a Russian". (You can get it on the same trip you buy "We Love The City" and "The Friends of Rachel Worth", for a fantastical weekend pop bonanza) ***SPRING*** All these people whining about Autumn. You shold come and live in the Southern hemisphere. The weather here in Auckland is GRAND right now. mmmm ... long evenings. Anyway, off to bed. Take care kids, and make Hefner proud, OK?

How goes the struggle in everyone's corner of the universe. In the New England region of the US, it's been quite cold and rainy lately. so much did it warm my heart to see that someone has a "list crush on me" awww. That's sweet and you wiley stranger made my day. Now the true detective work begins.. >I'll figure it out eventually!~ okay, now a question for some of you all out there. What's the origin of the world Twee? How did it get associated with a genre like this. I first heard it in relation to Bis, and i don't think B&S and Bis are quite similar at all (scottish-ness aside..). It's like Mogwai to Catatonia in my mind, I'll let you figure out who's who. Oh and I think I may have asked this already but was underwhelmed with the response.. did any listees attend the Mogwai show in Edinburgh in april? It was a warm up before Cambersands I think. (forgive me if I've misspelt Cambersands as well..) it would be nice to know I *nearly* met a lister... Still no sign of the beautiful redheaded B&S driver that passed me on my bicycle. a shame as i truely have a weakness for redheads :) that's all for now. jeff _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Why did I not realize this when I was actually IN Scotland? Perhaps real Scottish people aren't as cute as movie Scottish people, or 2000 Scottish people aren't as cute as 1980 Scottish people. I wonder. I'll have to go back in January and find out, using empirical research!

And to dance. See, there is a show at midnight and it's going to be rad. And since we're not sure anyone else is going to show up, it could be a Sinister picnic, only with girlie drinks! It's going to be a very special night at Fez, much like a prom or a "fancy dress party", without the fancy dress. Midnight, Fez (Great Jones and Lafayette, 533-7000 for info), tonight.

After reading, with much empathy and love, the narratives of multitudes of students whose lives have been blessed/lightened/made generally more wonderful by the music of "our" band, I thought I'd share my story. Today made me somewhat sad. You see, I'm a teacher, a professor if you will... and somedays one wonders just WHY the hell one got into the damnable (yet rewarding!) profession at all. After pouring out my heart and soul (for I teach not only from the intellect) on a lecture and discussion on a short story by Virginia Woolf and sharing one of my favourite poems by Maya Angelou with my freshman college Composition II class, I found that several students just up and left while my back was turned, and I was helping other students with essay writing. I felt so disheartened. I know I shouldn't take these things personally, that every student has reasons for poor performance, lack of interest, etc. that have nothing whatsoever to do with me. All that aside, it still hurt. I felt as though I couldn't breathe properly, as though I'd just given someone something infinitely valuable, and they'd tossed aside without even the least bit of consideration. My heart hurt. I wandered out to my car after class, feeling oh so very low. I turned on my stereo to find the lovely "Fox in the Snow" awaiting me. It made me feel utterly *consoled*. I came home and told my husband all about it and the lovely song (He's a B&S fan,too!) and he agreed with my every point and admitted that "...sinister" is his fave B&S cd. If you've read this far, cheers to you ! Joy and LOVE to all of you!! Long live Belle and Sebastian!! Lisa, a Texas belle (who identifies with the other Lisa who has posted, about the burden/joy that comes from having this name and being a B&S fan!) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I posted once before saying something to that effect, I think what I said was that I'd read in an interview that that's what was so... actually what I read was in that MTV chat they did a while back, saying that each of Isobel, Sarah, and Stevie had written one song for fishyclap, and the only crossovers with people singing other people's songs were Isobel and Stevie collaborating on Beyond the Sunrise and Isobel "singing one of stuart's songs". I assumed this meant, since Stevie wrote The Wrong Girl and Sarah wrote Waiting For The Moon To Rise, that "singing one of stuart's songs" meant singing the whole thing, not just the bit of women's realm she sang. if so, that means that the "collaborating" on beyond the sunrise referred just to the singing and Stuart wrote Family Tree. I always figured this interpretation was right... until I realized that the collaborating probably meant they wrote it together, thus making the "singing one of stuart's songs" a reference to Women's Realm. the reason I figured the other way was that when I first listened to women's realm, I thought, "that's odd... this is isobel singing, but it doesn't sound like an isobel song. course, it doesn't really sound like a stuart song either, but Nice Day For A Sulk and The Chalet Lines were kind of weak too, so maybe it's a kinda weak stuart song." see, I figured it just didn't sound like an Isobel song; I like isobel and all... but her songs tend to sound sorta the same; I think she tries too hard. but I shouldn't talk, I can't write songs worth a chickfactor. so in conclusion, I provide no insight into the question of who wrote that song, except for that little spiel. but I do wish to say that that day everyone was saying how pretty the moon looked? I saw it too! which I think is neat, coz I didn't know these things were quite that universal. I guess it makes sense considering... considering I dunno what. considering the way these things work. I guess... I picked up a copy of modest mouse's first album; it ain't tigermilk, but it's durn decent. kinda boring musically, but there are some some standout tracks, and it is, as I say, durn decent. anyway, kind of an awkward way to finish off maybe, but that's all I'll say... +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

AND we did graffiti on the toilet walls, and discovered a message about mr murdoch form another listee, whose name i won't mention but they know who they are (kneeecaps...whatever next?!!) so jen and myslef wrote about mick and chris, cos we didn't want them to feel left out. today i think i'll make a skate ramp out of cd's for suzie, and i'll go back to uni, sit in my lectures and daydream. it's what i do best. then tomorrow i'm away to aberdeen, yay! well, i better go cos i'm late already, bighugs, amy xxx _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Peak district. why am i writing this like a telegram? i've been watching wayne's world and don't look back far too much, but still... it's better than actually doing anything approaching work. it's funny because i love history, and i thought i'd enjoy studying it. but so far, i don't. maybe i need to put more effort in. is there a Sinite out there whose school reports didn't always say 'must try harder... could do better'? i've been planning a Sinister Cryptic crossword competition, but so far have managed to come up with a mere, piffling one clue: erica macarthur and eric d. brasure lose their surnames and meet an e-mama (7, 7) answers and other clues on postcards, preferably electronic ones. then again, i could do with some post... other fab ideas have been a christmas present for Honey which we can all buy her (email me for further details, and no disguising yourself to hear what you're getting, honey). it should work out incredibly cheap, maybe 1p each (that's about 3c i think) so get in touch and i'll try and be organised. went shopping yesterday instead of watching Battleship Potemkin. Bought my first pair of flares (black cordoruy beasts. oh i can't spell cordoroy... corduroy?) and some nice levi grey skinny sta-prest things. if there are any sheffield Sinites out there, then visit Freshmans, cause it's the best and the beast. i have been looking out for Sinites, but failed miserably so far. actually, i've met one (chris) which must be something approaching success. if you see me, with my diamond dave bowie hair, lanky demeanor and nice trews then say hi. or call my name and see if i jump. whichever pleases you the most... i'll be touring the indie clubs of the region (bed... offbeat... fuzz club... new york... paris... peckham) and waving my flares in your general direction. oh, anyway, i didn't have anything B&S to say. except that i've won two new converts, and that i still haven't worked out how to 'do' MP3 for middle distance runner. Just filling the time between flitting about the library (fey central) and going to a seminar to discover how stupid i am. happy days! please all get in touch about Honey's pressie, i think i'm onto something approaching a winner. or maybe not... lots of love j.xxx ps thanks again to eric and miles for keeping me company. and to Yorkshire Tea for keeping me together. pps here's another crapass attempt at a new Pauline L Shivers poem: she dances through europe eats minces and livers avoiding the call-up it's Pauline L Shivers! that was even worse than the last one. _____________________________________________ Free email with personality!

We�ve returned to discussing the fall again. (The season not the misinterpretation of a gift of an apple to Adam. Poor Eve. She gets all the heat for that � which can�t be comfortable in that fig leaf � and it was probably all Adam�s fault for being hard to shop for). Now, I am sure that you all of you are curious/could care less/are now sticking wooden corks in your hears so you won�t have to hear what I have been up to this summer, so allow me to fill you in. It was a fantastic summer. I spent a part of my time at the beach. While I was there I was splashing around in the ocean and this guy thought I was drowning. He came over to check out the scene and in that brief encounter we basically fell in love. We spent the rest of the summer just hanging out together. We got friendly down in the sand and we made out under the dock. We even stayed out until ten o'clock. Now, I know that a lot of you are like, hey tell me more, tell me more! Let me just say it was good. Of course, like all good things my summer loving had to come to an end. It was really hard leaving but there on that beach we made a true love vow. I wonder what he's doing now? I hope he doesn't show up at my new school and act all different around his roughneck friends. Aw well, I guess I could work it out in the end. But if that sort of thing happened twice, it would really suck. So, now I�m back in school. Contrary to what a certain red head from Oregon (whose ideas I consistently steal in hopes he�ll write songs about me), teachers do not prefer it when you spell come "cum". No sir, they don�t. They also don�t like it when you miss a couple of weeks of class because you were out frolicking on a road trip up to Boston, Maine, Canada and other such places. New England in the fall � what a wonderful trip it was. (Even if I did miss "bobbing for durians" with Mr. Gazzetti). On the trip, it was Llew-cifer (me), Lucy-fer, and all the guys we could pick up. So basically, it was just the two of us (don�t worry � more Will Smith lyrics to follow!!). It involved harassing waiters and waitresses to write us poetry, getting hit on in strange places (first time I was called sexy in a cemetery. Morgue sure but never a cemetery), and making fun of girls wearing glorified lamp shades who turn cartwheels on cruise ships while singing sickly country medleys and then spend the rest of the time talking about how demanding their career as a singer and a dancer is. *** We now interrupt this drivel for a spot that should be a standard part of every post. At least 5 Reasons Why Will Porter Should Be Worshipped: 1. When I say "la de da" he enthusiastically screams "Annie Hall" and then joins me in minutes of sheer pleasure in quoting from this Woody Allen classic. 2. He makes LOVE not WAR. When there was a heated debate over the spelling of Don Quixote he intervened with his brilliance and restored peace to all of #sinister without making anyone feel bad. 3. He listens to "Candy" with me even though he knows it makes me desperately sad 3AgainSinceTheLast3.Was Sad. He�s Perfect 4. He says I look like a girl he once had a crush on which means if I actually had a personality, increased my intelligence 100 fold, and moved across to the western part of the United States that I might have a chance with a brilliant boy. 5. He waits until after I�m gone to fix what Aunt Sadie says about me. Stuart Murdoch is still my cabana boy but now he is one in a grammatically correct fashion. I�m sure this makes Stu a lot happier. F. When I say, "her hand was steadily moving up my thigh" he completely picks up on the next lyric. Excellent. Nothing like a boy being able to quote old school rap with me. I consider being able to stop traffic because you�re too busy busting out a Beastie Boys song to move to be a requirement in being my friend. Now back to our regularly scheduled post. *** Jan Imgrund, the man behind all the work on the literary list, should also be worshipped. Mmm, I love the lit list. I have read some brilliant books because of y�all and have met even cooler people through that project. I�m quite grateful. I also love it when people send me random poems. How lovely! I believe that I told people that I would let them know when I read their boook suggestions and what I thought, but I really haven�t followed through on that. It doesn�t mean I haven�t read your suggestion(s) though! I�m not the only one who has liked the literary list. Here are what some others have said about the list and their favorite books thereon (and really this has nothing to do with staring at book promo posters for too long): "My favorite was spirited, horsey, amazingly revealing." � Lady Godiva "Tasty" � The Donner Party "Good reads with a stiff drink." -- Socrates "I give Laura Llew an A" �Nathaniel Hawthorne "Loved parts of it, hated the rest." � Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde "You can�t beat these books." Marquis de Sade "I laughed my head off." � Marie Antoinette "I couldn�t put it down." � Atlas "Words can�t describe this list."�Noah Webster "I love this list." � Giacomo Girolamo Casanova Well, kiddies, I think it's time for me to go. I'm in the computer lab at school and I am about to turn into a lauracicle since the school is obviously too cheap to have heating. The whole time I've been writing this I've been noticing the lab TA trying to surreptiously look at pornography. I love quality "education". Laura (don't call it a comeback. I've been here for years.) PS- Martin Robinson � I randomly sent you a mix tape a month or so ago and it was returned to me the other day with lots of scribbling on it. I don�t have my special decoder ring to decipher what is written or if it was just you using what you had since you didn�t have a bathroom stall handy. Either way, I was sad that I was rejected. PPS- Mark C. I don�t know if I offended you (which I didn�t think was possible) or what but please let me know how I might beg your forgiveness and be on your good side again. PPPS- Mad (but late) birthday shoutz out to Bill Harris PPPPS- Apologies to Juicy Lucy for butchering the English Language. You should hear me speak. Actually, you shouldn't. PPPPPS- My friend, Lucy (aka - LizzyBorden), wants to know who voted for Brier Random on list crush so she can rub you out.. erh congratulate you for your good taste. "Close your doors and latch it. Lizzy's got a brand new hatchet." PPPPPPS- I hope everyone noticed that Matthew12907 who is another NC sinisterine posted. These are things to be noticed - like Arches of Loaf mentions (also from NC). PPPPPPPS-I hope I misspelled something so that someone corrects me. It's the only time I get responses from my posts. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Actually, i read a very nice review and article about this norwegian band in a french magazine (they are single of the month...), i heard one of their tracks in realaudio, and eventually realised i had already seen the singer somewhere... somewhere between camber Sands, Leeds, Manchester, Glasgow, i just can't remember but i *can* remember his glasses and red hair... try and listen to one of their songs (you can find it on ubl.com, or maybe allmusic.com...), you'll understand why i thought it could be useful to talk about them, just here on the list. and the guy says discovering belle and sebastian changed the way he listens to music... Two other things. In late october, Sodastream and the Delgados are playing in Paris... The problem is they're not playing *together*, they're playing *at the same time* : same time, same night, different places. sinister popkids may join us anyway... it's been ages since i last went to a sinister meet-up. And i miss them.

This week has certainly been way better than last week, I have been on the alcohol much less, I have even stayed in for a whole night for one day... which leads to me getting some work done, which is good, but then I have also like got lots of things that I remembered I should have done ages ago, but didn't... but still all in all I feel fine. The best thing of all of course is that my new (non-girlie) haircut has finally grown on me (literally and metaphorically) and now looks grate. (even tho it kinda went a bit more girlie than when it was just cut) Kid A is growing on me too, although not the song Kid A itself.. but the others are beginning to seduce me, especially after hearing them in the record shop with decent speakers. I think my neighbours are getting worried about me squealing along with Thom Yorke too... My songs are all coming along nicely on the lovely 4 track recorder.. well the sound goes a bit wobbly on the ickle microphone that I play the acoustic guitar through... but still the songs are all wonderful. Funny really I'm sending this mail saying how much I'm drinking less alcohol after coming back from the pub... and I am still single, but let's worry about those things tomorrow. The only thing I'll do now is sleep, and oh yes it's gonna be some wonderful sleep. Sweet Dreams...... Double Vodkas and Red Bulls!

Message-ID: so i've been sitting in my room and listening to b&s alot. and alot of really sad slow music. autumn is my favorite time of year, yet i feel miserable. i go to school, then come home and have absolutely no energy or desire to do anything. sometimes i end up going out with my friends but once i am out i just want to go home and sleep. i dont know why i am so sad lately. i guess maybe it is because i am stuck in this routine of school and work and just living here in a place that i am sick of with nothing new or exciting left to see or do. i try so hard to see the value of everything i have, and i feel selfish for even thinking this way. i mean there are people out there starving in some third world country and here i am bitching about how sad i am, like it's the worst thing to ever happen in the world. i dont mean to be selfish though..i just want to be happy, or at least semi-happy. (i am of the opinion that noone is really ever 100 percent happy unless they are lying to themselves). i spend my time listening to music and alternating between cups of hot tea with too much sugar, and bottles of hard lemonade. maybe it is the whole boy situation that makes me feel sad. here i am, with a boy who likes me and what do i do? well i decide i dont really want him at all, even though 2 weeks ago i thought he was the cutest thing i had ever seen. here he is being so sweet to me and what do i do? i date other boys and didnt even tell him about it even though i know should have at least mentioned it. when things got more serious with us i stopped seeing the other boys though. i don't want to hurt anyone, but yet that is what i always end up doing. i am stuck in this horrible rut and no matter how hard i try to see the light at the end of the tunnel, it just seems like everything around me is pitch black and i'm left stumbling alone in the darkness.. i just thought id share this all with you, maybe someone here feels the same way and knowing that there is someone else who feels the same way is comforting..i know when i am sad i tend to feel disconnected from everyone. isolated..and i know there are people out there who feel this way too, but unless i actually hear someone else say it i still end up feeling like i am the only one.. that all for now..oh, does anyone know whether the new hefner cd got released in the us? its suppose to be out but i think it just got released in the uk as of now, since i cant seem to find it anywhere.. lauren "i'm trying to drink away the part of the day that i can't sleep away-mm" +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <39F053A8.52B99E8D@julian.uwo.ca> Greetings, I was trying to reconcile actually posting with the fact that I have nothing to post. Nothing, that is, of interest. I had what I thought was something of a sinister story, but then I realized how wrong I was. You see, I WAS TEASED TODAY IN SCHOOL! No, no, this isn't grade four, IT'S FRIGGIN' UNIVERSITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, this bastardy kid in my history tutorial accused me of "sucking up to my t.a." when I commented on his Sheaffer Big Red pen - something I have never seen in person. We're talking old skool pen here folks. It was all I could do to not kick him in the teeth. He's one of those horribly annoying boys who are obsessed with history. He's one of those people who says things like, "Well, they didn't mention Kepler in the reading but of course I'm familiar with him anyway." I swear to God he thinks he is the reincarnation of Napolean. I have this burning desire to whisper ELBA in a very diabolical way whenever he passes. He is, decidedly, a bastard. The nerve of him to accuse ME of sucking up! I JUST HAPPEN TO LIKE PENS, ALRIGHT? I immediately thought of all things sinister at this episode, assuming there might be other stylophiles lurking who could appreciate my claim. (Stylophiles? What on earth...?) Of course, you're all probably computery and junk and would probably laugh at my otherwise unhealthy obsession with ink. None of my friends will ever write me with actual physical materials, only this email garbage. SIGH. What can you do? If YOU like writing in ink, let me know. Perhaps I can arrange to send you a missive and support my local bureau de poste. Ahem...sorry about the complaining. Apologies also for the serialkiller-esque use of capitals. I was on a roll.

I don't like new look NME web. I can't find a decent chatsite that is firewall friendly. This is very very crap. How am I supposed to sit for hours and watch my pals have cheesy cyber porn sex? I mean, despite what boyfriend said, here are my rants. Look, ICQ, and IRC and all those gubbins. They require things to be downloaded. And with the increase of firewalls, folk at work and uni can't use them. And they are the people with the best access, as its free(ish). Whereas gubbins like boyfriend, who have their home PC and can do a hundred and ten things [stop gloating Mark;)] have access, but with the demise of free connection and stuff, will think twice about doing it. Unless they can afford it, in anycase, I don't want to know. I'm skint. Keep your wads of wavering cash to yourself. I have a tenner right now to my name, and I'm not happy. So why not have a firewall friendly chat? You know the old saying, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Anyway, I need my fix. And all I hear is boyfriend telling me what my pals are up to on chat. I miss them, and its not fair. We don't have anywhere to go now, and all those who have been exiled are now lost, wandering in cyber space, occasionally graffitting a forum here or there, to let the other wanderers see that we too, are there, somewhere. (This rant is dedicated to Jeepster Records) I shall only be downloading MP3 files, and not, I repeat, NOT paying for stuff. If you can't provide your customers with a more accessible chat room, after all the support we show by buying records and your propaganda, then I'm not going to give you my usually more accessible bank account. Any other consipracys? Hairdressers do it on purpose and should be shot. I don't have my English-Norwegian Dictionary and its driving me nuts. I don't know where the money goes. Its just disappeared, I know I haven't spent it. Natwest, your time will come, Monday Morning, you're getting a blaze from the berry. I need a fag. Its raining. My flatmate is annoying me. He drunk, hes a tory, and he thinks he knows best. Well, I know best. I need a hug from my boyfriend. I can't work out how to play the rest of Mogwai's ex cowboy, sand its really annoying me. I-crunch won't stop filling up my inbox with rubbish, despite, goodness knows how many requests that they go and do it with a tree. Right, thats enough for now, Have a good weekend, kiddies, Love, Idleberry [but no love to Jeepster records, oh no, only venomous snakes and horrible, rubbishy work-filled weekends to them. >:-p ] ===== 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!?

The highlights* of the entries can be seen here: http://www.geocities.com/carsmilesteve/painting/index.htm along with the winner (except the winner bit doesn't quite work at the mo, don't worry, i'll have it sorted tonite), but for those of you whose internet access is restricted or who just can't be bothered, the winner is... MR KEN P CHU!!!!! Well done Ken. You win a plastic rose. Now stop messing about with photoshop and get on with your homework ;) *obviously when i say highlights, i mean "all" In other news, I've seen that bloke from Kings of Convenience out and about too, I noticed him cos he looks like a ginger version of this photographer bloke i used to know, so I was doing that "is it/isn't it" thing, looking at him. He prob'ly thought i was some kind of deranged fan, which i might yet be, all the reviews and interviews i've read with them seem to make me think i'll like them. In other other news, anyone heard the Brave Captain album yet? I mustmustmust buy it tomorrow, mmmmmmmmmmmm, Carr. I think they/he are/is playing the Garage soon, should be fun. I have been reading "Young and Foolish" by a duke (formerly?) of this parish and would heartily recommend it to any listee, especially the bit at the back with a selection of the duke's posts to the list, which made me want to go and read the ENTIRE archive from the very beginning. So anyway, what is pop? Or even !P!O!P!? xoxo CarsmileSteve PS Just looked Y&F up on Amazon, and apart from the dry wit of Mr Miller in the reviews section, I notice the duke has also written a book on how to use the internet if you're a teacher, any reviews of that one out there? +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <2d.263ce8a.2721b707@aol.com> How good is "Sweetheart of the Rodeo"? I'm slowly being swallowed up by my non-existant Southern roots. You don't believe me? Ask Ms. Lauren Tigerxdare who told me I had a southern accent when we watched the Flaming Lips in Philly awhile back. Some of my friends say I've started speaking with a slight twang, I say "aw shucks" entirely too much and I drink cheap beer. I haven't bought a shotgun or started dipping yet, but I suppose anythings possible... B&S have a Christmas song? Has there been any word on the next single that Stuart mentioned shortly after FISHYCLAP's release? I hope it has Lord Anthony, but then again, so does everyone. I drove 25 minutes to school today only to find out my first class would be over in 15 minutes and my second one was canceled. This is beyond lame. I'm running on 5 hrs sleep for 15 minutes of schooling. I'm writing from the cpu lab (as alot of people seem to be doing these days) and its a new experience. A girl sitting next to me seems to be annoyed at my constant typing, because for some reason, she's reading a book and talking on her cell phone. Surely she must realize where the hell she is. Maybe she doesn't... I had forgotten what girls do to me until I became infatuated with a friend of a friend recently. I haven't slept in days and I don't eat. I buy nice clothes and wear cologne. I play Pet Sounds whenever we're driving somewhere in the hopes that it will work subliminally. I listen to Simon and Garfunkel. Whenever I go anywhere without her I get sad and drunk. I love it. George Dickie signed my band's guestbook. He wants to rejoin Sinister very soon. I never realized he officially left, but I miss his posts. The new Ryan Adams record (ex-Whiskeytown) is really fucking amazing, and the first track is an argument between he and some other guy concerning Morriseey. I think Adams really likes him, but that may be the other guy. Regardless, the album is just beautiful, and the new Superdrag album is amazing too. Every key on this keyboard is black and flithy except the "backspace" key. Make of it what you will..

So, i have a very specific reason for posting. Oh yes. Very specific. Ummmmm...... Hold on. Something will come to me in a minute. (sigh) AHHHHHAAAA!!! Yes, this christmas carol malarkey - wot a pile of toss. Which one are they doing again? Something with 'Come' in the title wasn't it? Dearie dearie me. Should have done Silent Night in honour of their touring schedule. Well, either way, I'm disappointed. you're an intermittently wonderful songwriter Stu m'lad so there's no need to cover some mad Christian propaganda song. I think it's duty to step into his velvet slippers and come up with a sinister carol( i knew a sinister carol once, i think she's a hairdresser now). Base it on the true spirit of Xmas, i.e. drinking, eating, partying, inappropriate fumblings and Jimmy Stewart. And let's keep it vaguely content based so we don't get a Millbankian slap on our collective limp wrist. So, if you're up to the challenge submit a verse or two, and try to fit it to the tune of a well known, extant carol. That way we can force Carsmiles to sing it and he won't be able to excuse himself for not knowing the tune. (Not that it would stop him anyway). tata 4 now. a. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Amidst this state of things, I found an slightly outdated copy of Cosmo on our TV table .TV not because it holds our TV set, but currently two or three remotes,a couple of TV mags and unpaid bills from NTL.It featured some glossy,long review with lots of glossy,girly,sassy pictures of the 'most inspirational women in Britain-2000'.I seeked Ally96 in vain through its pages, as Ally's messages would score as highly inspirational of assorted rubbish in the shape of my own messages,but no trace. I am pretty sure they gave to the winners some eternal supply of NARS nail varnish, what it makes double wrong our Ally was not at least in the shortlist. Maybe in 2001,which is frighteningly close, with the obstacle of yes,Christmas, between us and IT. Whether Belle and Sebastian,or just Stuart M,are dying to become the next Cliff Richard,which would yuxtapose the Christian interests, the Christmas songs and regular appearances in TOTP,three of their ambitions,let's say, is still to be proved, but if it were the case, they should enter with no waste of time the Eurovision Song Contest 2001, an undeniable but confessed vice of this list. They would be all wearing white and silver coordinated for the occasion, and the tune could be anything on 'There is too much love' pitch, with lots of children of several races on the stage and Isobel holding a hopeless cat as acessory. Just some question on hefner's web page, that seems to be right down.Not down exactly...if one types www.hefnet.com, one arrives to something totally different and not related with the band at all.Any suggestions?I have not heard anything from 'We love the city' yet, though the quote of loving to be in love though not loving anyone promises a rosy future of humming their lyrics in the next few months.As Steve C.,who has become my definite muse with his post today,explained, to be in love does a lot about your hygiene and personal care,and that is why when people are in love usually look much better. xxx Arantxa +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Anyone if B&S tunes are available out there as ringtones?? I remember a post about programming PalmPilots with B&S tunes, but for a mobile it'd be wicked! Just think, you could be in a liitle caff somewhere and your phone could go off with, say, 'seeing other people' (bleepy, could work) and a fellow B&S fan could pop up, summoned by the sound and change your life forever! Or something. Anyway, if anyone has info, or indeed the tech/musical know-how to pull this off please let me know. Some one dissed the movie 'WONDERLAND', are you fucking crazy or what, the film is totally amazing and desperatley sad, very 'Sinister'. It leads you down a miserable path for so long that the merest nugget of sunlight at the end leaves you with hope for all humanity. Another sini-flick is 'RATCATCHER'. GO SEE THIS MOVIE! It is one of the most moving, haunting films (fillums for you renard) I have ever seen. And its got Nick Drake on the soundtrack. And Eddy Cochrane. And its the closest you'll ever get to life for a Glaswegian child in the 1970's. It opens in N.America this month I think.

Or, for instance, your sock monkey friends who don't have email addresses, and therefore, cannot read the sinister digest on a regular basis as we can. My sock monkey friends aren't that interested in reading, unfortunately, just looking at pictures. They don't even really have much of an opinion about music, from what I can tell, since they don't seem happier or more sad when I put on things like Belle and Sebastian. But then again, maybe their taste in music is just so far off from mine that they haven't heard anything they like at my house. Does anyone else have a sock monkey? They are just so interesting looking, I think. Also, I can't have a cat at my apartment, so they are like pets, sort of. Pets that don't move, that is. But they are fun to make clothes for. Maybe I'll take a picture of them and post it on the internet sometime. I've got pages and pages of Modern Art History and History of Women in Medieval Art to read since midterms are the next few weeks. Yay. Some of it IS interesting reading though. Right now I'm sitting at home doing laundry since I have no Friday classes and my clothes are all too dirty to wear. Except for a sweatshirt that says "maiden of the raven clan" on the front, which I am not. What are sweatshirts called in England? I heard once that sweaters are called 'jumpers' there. I like that. I feel really bad, because I've completely stopped playing FISHYCLAP on my radio show, and it's really good. But the station's copy was stolen (ooh, do I hate you, B&S cd thief!!), and my copy is perpetually lost, and my record of it is completely WARPED from sitting on a turntable near a window for a mere FEW HOURS. Why is that? I don't know, cheap vinyl maybe (bitter emphasis on the last three words). So right now I'm listening to Tigermilk, to remind myself that this really is one of my favorite bands ever, if not THE. Anyway, enough boring talk about my boring life. Andrea p.s. We WILL be broadcasting on the web very very soon, I think, so my show will be on at something like 5 am on Tuesdays in England. Eek. Maybe I can archive temporarily or something. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Has anyone read anything by Lynda Barry? For example, her novel Cruddy, which is amazing, or her comic book, the Best of Marlys. She also has semiweekly comics on salon.com. She is, again, amazing, and so REAL. 2. Does anyone here ever ride the bus or sit around listening to the same song over and over again on cd repeat until you don't even hear the song anymore except every once in a while? There are a few songs that I have done this in the past with that stick out. One is 'If I Fell' by the Beatles, from their album "A Hard Days Night", which I listened to about 50 times on an hour long train ride out of the city. The current one that I keep doing that with is "America" by Simon and Garfunkel.

Andrea, your post reminds me of something (gather round kids, this is a pointless story)... 2. I remember the dead of winter that my family moved into a new house. It was January, so the sun would set at 4:30 in the afternoon. Pretty depressing, but very Canadian. It was icy cold. The kind of cold where you step outside and it doesn't seem too bad at first, but the chill slowly seeps through your clothing until your fingers and toes get numb and you must stand perfectly still because it's just warmer that way. Movement means you open up your clothing to the cold air. I had borrowed Paul Simon's Concert in the Park from the library and listened to that very frequently around that time. Soon, it became the sound of the new house for me. I'd always be playing it. It felt comforting, I guess. My fondest memory of that time, though, is shoveling the deep snow off the sidewalk in the darkness of a winter night and listening to "America". Great tune. BTW, thanks, now I've got that damn "If I Fell" stuck in repeat mode in my head. Argh!!!! Oh, has anyoned listened to the Rutles? Great band. Miles ahead of anything the Beatles ever did. harhar.

Mostly. On Tuesday I bought joint custody of a whip for one pound fifty pee, and called it Cecil Drake Harvey Tulloola Goldsmith, and had grate fun pretending to be in the circus with it, in glasgow. And my blonde friend, who has also custody of cecil drake harvey tulloola goldsmith, said that her and her manfriend Mark will have lots of fun playing with it too. So everyone is happy. On Wednesday, I went Laserquesting with John which was ace, because I shot him by accident, which makes me think that, if it was real guns and we were in Star Wars, I wouldn't be the best person to have on your team. Then we went to George Square, and fed all our lunch to the pigeons (well, I did anyway), and one sat on my hand, and it was grate, and then we saw Donald Dewar's funeral car. Then we went to Flip, and met Neil (hullo neil) and he said hullo and some other funny things, and I bought a magic red cloak with duffel coat buttons, and I thought it was grate, and I was well pleased. Oh, and I bought a record by the Sleepy Time Trio, because it had a fabby cover, which made me giggle. Then John and me met up with Amy and Jason Andreas (who only stayed long enough for me to force a hug on him), and we went to the 13th Note, and did all the stuff that Amy said in her post, and played with the fantastic juke box, and I got very embarassed, because everyone was being so nice to me, and wrote lovely things on my bag and gave my cloak the name Pedro. And it took me a whole half hour to get the melted wax and glitter off my hand, but it was fun anyway. And then I got the train home, and I fell asleep. The next morning, I realised that I had lost my mobile phone, which has lots of numbers stored on it (If you see him, his name's Beep, and tell him to come home), so now I must look for him. Then today (friday) I hid in the cupboard for a while, because I was upset about something, then I went down the glen to look for animals to be friends with and pretty things to see. And I had on my red cloak and my rainbow brite star, and I felt all happy again, because I made friends with a squirrel and called it Jam. Then I went to my friend James' house and he made me sad because he kept asking to see my breasts, but I wouldn't let them, so he decided he was going to die soon instead, and I don't really want him to die, because he's ok, even if he is a perv, and he lets me play Final Fantasy Eight sometimes, and Squall Leonhart has a really grate gun/swordy type thing. The I went to the house of moving pictures to see a scary film with Harrison Ford in it, but my friend Nicola got annoyed, because I kept cracking silly jokes about biscuts and cannibals at the really tense moments, and nearly got us thrown out, but not on purpose. And I drank all of my friend Mark's juice, but he didn't mind, because we have the same taste in girls, even though his girlfriend, who is Debs, my whip partner custody blonde, was getting a bit jealous, because she is not Druscilla from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I was listening to Tigermilk for the first time in ages last night. I think I might have been so wrapped up in the grate world of liking belle and sebastian that I haven't taken time to properly listen to them in ages, which is never healthy. But I did last night, and I was wowzled and bowlied over by the amazingness of Struan's voice, because it is grate, and he can sing and make it sound effortless that he is throwing fabby sounds all over the place, and making people joyful and happy. I also decided last night that everyone in the world is a Belle and Sebastian fan. They just don't know it yet. I'm going to go now. Sorry for boring you. Again.

Message-ID: <000901c03b3e$abd5caa0$0101a8c0@pavilion> When everyone on Sinister is asleep, late at night, like now, I like to creep in and leave notes in their spiral binders. This one is with blue ink. My favorite color. (translation: favourite colour) I should be asleep too. When i wake up, i will paint super-cool racing stripes on my Vespa. Forest green stripes. To blend in while riding thru the woods. Jo (my love) is nowhere to be found tonight so i gotta ride like the wind. Love is a battlefield. Did you know that? And tomorrow night will be bittersweet, it's the last time i'll play drums with my beloved band. Because i quit. To take up eukulele and be a singer, a front man. Lucky thing i have a good front. But the line "i hit the drums for the final time and i walked away" still rings in my ears, and will tomorrow nite i'm sure. But we've got some surprises up our collective sleeves, you know. Something so sad about the last cigarette too, you know what i mean? Like there's nowhere to go from there but to sleep. But if someone's waiting and you can't hear them.... waving and waving goodbye.... how do you bridge such a gap? With flowers? Mail-art? Shampoo? We all want to fly, but we can't, and only my pen runs. Nothing doing. Fiona asks: "are you a freak or a freek?" and i can't quite formulate an answer. Maybe her guess is better than mine. But she has these shoes that are two-tone red and black, so she knows duplicity. The things we do for a bottle of the red at half past midnight has no suspense. When rain beads off the windscreen and reflects the traffic lights in arcs, i miss the other one. Sitting on the vinyl seat, waiting for something to come save me from all this rain. It's so easy to drown, even when you don't want to drown. Keep the chins up, kids.

Message-ID: <002901c03b4a$2af82ca0$8893183e@default> Hi guys. Skip this first section if you like, but make sure you read the little headered bits nearer the bottom... I've been on a sort of mad rollercoaster of emotions over the past few weeks. Forgiveness is begged from so many people for being a complete tit most of the time and getting upset over small things like girls and big things like girls I have come to the following conclusions about my life: *Tom McRae has the power to save me. This guy is amazing. Go to www.tommcrae.com and listen to the sound files. Then buy the album. *I will no longer hug people. JenOwl (as she said in her post) had to force herself upon me. I will not even hug the girl I care about most, because it just makes me sad But seriously, hugs are bad - promising things that never occur, and occuring things that are never promised. If you know what I mean. *My agression level seems to rise in proportion to how much I'm at work. I get quite angry about things at times now - I've almost started to stand up for myself. I pity the first recipient - it'll be like being savaged by a duck... *I have decided to go to the doctor finally. My lungs, heart and head all have some problems in one way or another, and it's time to get things fixed so I can be healthy and happy once more. *This goes for my missing front tooth too - it's time to conquer my fear of the dentist just as soon as I can afford it... Ok, on to Jason's more usual self... ***JenOwl: Does anyone else think that wee Jen is a little more smutty than we give her credit for? She owns a whip. Has boys asking to see her breasts. And she forces herself upon people called Jason Andreas ;) ***Amy Jackson: I should have posted this yesterday, but was working and gigging :( HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMY!!!!! - 20/10/00 You will receive your present when I get paid in three/four weeks time (I didn't know we were moving onto monthly wage!) ***Neil Milton: This wee Flip resident plays in a band called Troika. They are brilliant! I'm not saying this becase he's my friend - I actually do think they're really good. They are playing Fury Murrays (a venue in Glasgow) on the 23rd November. Entry £4 (possibly £3 - can't quite remember) so it's well worth it. For more information e-mail: troika317 at yahoo.co.uk and tell them I gave you the info. They have a website too: www.troikaonline.co.uk - go and sign the guestbook and support a grate new band. ***Cheese: can be yellow or white or red or blue. Oh glorious cheese, how I love you. ***Halloween: Any Sinister gatherings on Halloween? We could all go with cardboard hands over our faces and pretend we're Stuart Murdoch having his photo taken :) ***Tom McRae: Get his album. I can't re-iterate this enough. ***Jules Markham: I've been trying desperately to mail to, but none of them seem to be getting through - can you send me your e-mail addy again? ***Toffeecrisp: Hitler doesn't deserve you anyway. You know what I mean. I have to go now - but I'll hopefully see a few of you guys around... With love but no hugs... xx --Jason Andreas "If you live your life in fear of death, then you never live at all."

Message-ID: good morning/good afternoon/good evening sinister folks, last night i went to a benefit for townes van zandt simply because Stuart Braithwaite and David Gow were going to do a solo set. after i had downed five glasses of the FREE BEER, the two took the stage and Stuart sung almost all of the Mogwai songs that have words, and generally plucked strings, with the exception of the last song, which was a cover, that he totally jammed out on in true mogwai fashion. I was pleased by the alone. It had already been a good night. Then Bob Nastanovich walks right past me and my buddy. Please do not take this lightly: if any body is The Fucking Man, it is Bob Nastanovich. Anyway, i had no idea that stars of this caliber were going to be there, but luckily, i had Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain and Westing by Musket and Sextant with me. We waited till Bob had received his beer, and then asked him if we might have his autograph. There has never been anybody more enthusiastic about signing an autograph. He also talked to us for quite a bit, us having common ground and all, that is all parties grew up in good old Rochester, New York. I actually went to high school with his next door neighbor. After all that, he gave myself and my friend huge bear hugs, and told us that Steven should be around somewhere too. *Holy Shit* However, before we met up with Steven, we ran into Mark Ibold. Conversation was as follows: "Hello Mark, it's a pleasure to meet you" we shake hands "We were wondering if you wouldn't mind signing a few autograph's" "no, no not at all" we hand him the album sleeves "How did you know we would be here?" "Didn't, i carry these around with me where ever i go, they're like my bible." "yeah" indicates CRCR "this is our best album, i think, but my personal favorite is Wowee Zowee" "my favorite is Wowee Zowee" He was super cool too. But alas, the lead singer was standing against a wall off to the side. It turns out Steven is a bit of an asshole, but that is to be expected, as lead singers usually are. He signed too, though. 3 out of five. Not bad. Meanwhile, my head was spinning, and then evan dando steps on to the stage and played about five covers. One of my best friends is completely enamored by him. So on a piece of writing paper, i asked him to, and he wrote out in huge, nearly illegible handwriting: Dear Susan, I love you, Evan Dando. Apparently he's a lawyer now. Heroin Addict Rock Star cum defense attorney. anything's possible. Then ben lee played, got off the stage and totally disrespected his girlfriend, claire danes. Where ever they went he was four steps in front of her and completely ignoring her. my friend and i called him a phony, dingo fucker, then we left as the show was over as well. It was a most Excellent evening. yours, phil r ps Everyone should go out and buy the new Godspeed You Black Emporer Album, as it is not only good, but one of the best records i've ever heard. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

It took me about half an hour to work out, and I'm very proud of it. It goes too fast, and it is in the wrong key, but I don't care. It's still the most constructive thing I've done for months. Now when my phone rings I get a warm fuzzy feeling as it reminds me how much better my taste in music is than that of the plebs around me. Or not. Anyway, if you're curiosity is stoked and you can't live without a mogwai ringtone yourself - and I know that this is the case - then you should make your nokia ringtone composer screen look like this: 8c1 8d1 4e1 2b1 4- 8c1 8d1 4e1 4b1 4c1 2g1 Quite 'how' you input that, I can't bloody remember, so don't ask. I know it's not B&S as was requested, and if anyone else DOES have a B&S ringtone then please share. love mark _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Sitting on the vinyl seat, waiting for something to come > save me from all this rain. Rain. You must never try to run away from rain. You can never run away from rain. Cos rain is forever there. Drops. Falling decisively . Crashing hopelessly . Sighing silently. Whispering as they slowly yet so fast cut their way through the cold, razor-sharp air. Little. Round. Liquid. Drops. Of rain. Like the drops that soaked me to the bone tonight. Standing in the rain. With a pair of high heeled shoes in one hand.The other hopelessly hugging my waist.Trying to stop my shaking.Have you ever felt so small under the vastness of the skies? Being with so many people just before, but still feeling lonely.And not just that.Being in a room full of people, dressed like the little queen of all hipsters but still feeling Alone. Rushing outside to get some air, suddenly breathing in there had become harder. And out there you find that long lost love of yours.In whose arms you willingly fall and lose yourself. Whom you let touch and run fingers all over you.Opening up and crying , pouring out your sorrow. She's falling on you while you're falling for her. She's taking over you and gently pushes you on the ground.It's wet.And muddy.Little puddles of water reflect the shattered bits of sky, which is the only thing you can grasp of it , without feeling the grinds in your brain dangerously creaking . The night would have been so quiet otherwise, yet your love is whispering in your ear. And her whispers have something of the sorrow of the sad songs in them.Something of the fear of the veins under the frail skin of the wrist, something of the savage joy of the razor, flirting with the thin layers of skin wrapping the illusion we call life . She reminds you of the pang of pain right on the moment of utter happiness that cleaves your chest apart. She falls down on you.All over you. And the only thing you can do is cry. Cry in the thought of the sky over the other hemisphere. If it's cloudy, if it's blue. And cry at the thought of someone you've left behind, or just ahead, or maybe this is the torture you have to go through and come to the other end intact and in one piece, still sane though.Your role in the catastrophic plans of fate. Is for Pain. And your lover genlty strokes your cheek and kisses your eyes...tells you everything is gonna be ok, "Please let me wash away your fear, wash away your pain, your sadness, your inexplicable outbursts of insanity, your sin, your guilt, your sorrow. Let me wash away your tears". And you suddenly understand. The realisation strikes you. "No!" you cry. "No, you can't do that!". "No, you can't wash away my fears nor my tears. No, Rain....you'll wash -me- away then. I'll melt away and slowly be absorbed by the earth beneath me. No. No ,Rain. I love you . And you know that. But there's still someone I love more than you. More than my pain and my sorrow and for whom I would deny them. No , Rain. Not just yet." And the rain slowly dies out....licks your lips for the final time and withdaws. An you find yourself walking in the fields alone,soaked to the bone, with a pair of high heeled shoes in one hand, the other one hopelessly hugging your waist.Trying to stop your shaking.Having a faint memory of once being the little queen of all hipsters.But you can never be too sure about anything any more. You keep walking, and in your head you hear that christmas carol resounding...."Little drummer boy"....... You keep walking towards the end of the picture. You dissapear. The music is still playing. ....You must never try to run away from rain. You can never run away from rain...... Love to you all, sorry for the lack of content....for some of you at least.....

I'm doing a project on energy efficiency, and a simple search for "Energy Efficiency" led me into the land of Narnia, and I haven't managed to escape yet. On a Sinister note, one of the answers my search turned up was the Fosca website, which was funny cos I knew nothing about them before, apart from what the delightful Erica has told us, and now I know they're an ugly bunch, who have a healthy obsession with B+S and are into boiling kettles less. So I've been sitting here in the library for two hours, tapping away at these keys and looking out the window every now and then. There's been a small group of people standing about at the bottom of the tower block opposite, ever since I arrived here, and each time I've looked up they've still been there, sitting and standing about, like pigeons on a chimney, not doing much really. They seemed to be looking at a couple of ropes dangling down the side of the building, and to be honest I thought it was a bit strange, but figured it must be what some people like to do on a Sunday afternoon. Now, after two hours, I leant back and threw my arms up for a big yawn and looked up at the top of the building. It was then that I noticed two people up there, holding the ropes, and a little man in an orange hat who jumped off the side of the building and started abseiling down it. So they were't just standing there after all, they were watching the abseiling, and now I am too. It's quite funny. There's a little boy who can't keep his feet on the wall, and just plummets down the rope, waving his legs about to try and slow himself down. Did anyone else see FunkySeb on telly last night, or was it just me? He was in a short film about a boy who's mom and dad were into computer sex, on channel 4 obviously, and played a sniggering schoolboy. I think it was him, because although he was meant to be a skater, he looked like he might jump up and recite a poem at any moment. Oh well, Songs Of Praise beckons...

I've been listening too...no, not some new indie-cool band from london, but...Alisha's Attic, because I found Alisha Rules the World, the first ever album I bought. Reasons why Alisha's Attic are good: They have a little cartoon angel/devil girl and fun adventures in the album sleeve. They are really twee. Ok, the words are really twee. They sing like fairies. The one that isn't blonde has hair like Amy Jackson's. And I live in awe of Amy's hair. (Ps, happy birthday to her) Yesterday, I went to Starbucks in Glasgow, with my friend Debs, and we sat for ages drinking tea and coffee. I had this magic iced tea that "soothes your psyche and enlightens your spirit", so I figured that this would mean I could tell what colour peoples auras were, and how mentally balanced they were, all the while I was drinking it. And I think I was quite good at it. I was also thinking about stealing a mug, but I decided that would be bad. My friend Ross phoned me and yelled at me for not coming along to be in his film, because I'd decided I couldn't be bothered and I played computer games instead. I also went to stay over at my friend Debs's house, and we were planning on getting drunk, but in the end we didn't because the cider tasted like cheese. She drank a lot of rum, and at first I did, because it meant I could pretend to be in the navy, but after a couple of sips, I decided that I would start my own navy where people can drink Ribena instead of rum. And we made a silly tape of us singing and saying silly things, and being mean about the hard kids in our school, which we do a lot. And the next morning we realised that we'd been having a really silly arguement, and left the tape running. And we laughed about it. Even though i was right and she was wrong :) I fell asleep on her floor, covered by my ultra useful cape. It was not very comfy. I thought about painting my nails. It's very girly, but I think I might anyways, since I'm a girl. Ooh, this is getting long, I really should put some content in. I have decided that I will send a letter to belle and sebastian, recommending that they all wear duffel cloak/cape things, because they have useful uses for all things and they will take over your soul from jeepster. Everyone on sinister should get a cape too. We can all be cape people. If we want. I will go now.

Certainly, it's often mentioned, and seems to be regarded in these parts as something sensual, rather than an incontinent cloud-load of small and inconvenient bits of water to moan about. I'm sure there are thousands of songs featuring rain, but all I can think of off-hand is The Silencers with *Scottish Rain* and *London Rain* by Heather Nova. And, of course, *Rain and Tears* by Aphrodite's Child, featuring that Barry White of the Agean, Demis Roussos. This being a Sunday, I'm listening to the Sundays' album I bought on Saturday. Evidently David and Harriet first got together on a Friday. Anyway, the album is *Static and Silence*, released in 1997. Back then, I recall 'phoning up for tickets to see them at Islington's Union Chapel, but then they cancelled. Then zilch. I've looked them up on the web, but all I can find is a promo site for that album, and a date for the concert that never was. The sinister archives contain references to people lucky enough to have actually seen them live, but years ago. Does anyone know what happened to them? It isn't raining here. It's getting dusky, but the afternoon has been heavy with grey; a kind of torpor in the atmosphere. I've been struggling with a short story I'm trying to write, finding words like 'effulgence' and 'tenebrous' in the dictionary in lieu of a continuation of the plot, which started with a story but has descended into the recall of nightmares and a slough of speculative metaphysics. Still, Harriet's lovely voice is soothing, and it's time to pull the curtains and light the church candles, which always feature in my autumn season. Which is about it. That and the day job, which is currently a pleasure: slightly creative, technically achievable, friendly colleagues... I wish I could identify what always seems to be missing.

Message-ID: <001901c03c7b$42c19240$5c8d183e@default> Hi all. Quite a sombre mood today, by my standards at least. I have decided that, after a fair amount of time, some laughs, some tears, some jokes, some arguments, that it's time for me to leave Sinister. I think this'll be the third time I've left, but chances are it'll probably be the last. Reasons? None really, or at least none I wish to share as such. I just don't feel 'part' of the group anymore. I don't get the same twinkly little buzz I used to get when I read my Sinister mail. It's quite sad in a way, you guys have been like a little family to me. The following people get an extra-special goodbye wave; *Jeanette Eastwood - my surrogate mommy :) *Amy Jackson - welcome to the bright lights and magical sounds... *Neil Milton - Troika rule! *JenOwl - forced hugs can be good too, I suppose. Don't let the hard kids get you down. *Lauren Hathaway (Tigerxdare) for being cool *Sweetie - I kept my promise, I never *did* reveal your name... *Toffeecrisp - for being a good ear *Ally Cook - first sinisterine I ever met. *David Strange - for the random text messages *Wayne Fortune - without you, I would have never gotten to Bob Dylan. Thank you... *Calumn Shearer, Ailsa Ross, Owen Narrow Wizard, Carey, Yvonne Finnon - for various reasons. *Heather McDonald - although I've not heard from you in almost a year. *Erica McArthur - for being tres cool *Damo from #sinister - not spoken in a while, but you were ever the voice of reason. *Karolyne Trembley - Mail me sometime, Karo... *Anyone I've forgotten - you guys deserve it too... and last but not least: ***Honey The List Mommy*** Without his sterling work and utter devotion, the above people I would have never know and my life would be missing so much because of it. Thank you for everything, Honey. Thanks for the memories. If anyone wants to keep in touch, feel free to mail me at jasonandreas at breathemail.net - I promise to reply to you all. I may pop in (via the archive) every onece in a while to see how you're all getting on. Play nice. Missing you already...

I will list all the rain songs i can think of at the END of this post (which will come quickly, rest assured), so you don't have to scroll thru a boring "liszt". Re: Gorgon's Sundays questions: I saw the Sundays here in Calif and i jumped on stage & gave Harriet a bouquet of gaily scented flowers. I had the bouquet in my hands all thru the show, and i was near the front, and all the people around me were saying: "Are those for her? Are you gonna give them to her? Gonna git up there?" and i was like, "yeah, i'm going up there." After every song the people would say "Now??" and i would say "No, not yet." Finally after "Hideous Towns" i turned to everyone and said "yes, now" and without my promting, they pushed me to the front of the crowd. I felt twelve hands on my back and ass, and suddenly these strangers were lifting me towards the stage, and propelled me upwards. I flew through the air and landed, no kidding, on my knees in front of Harriet. She looked very startled. I got to my feet and handed her the flowers, mumbled something to her which i don't remember (prolly the usual "you're amazing") then was escorted off the stage by roughnecks. They led me down a hallway, i was sure they were going to just throw me out. Then one of the roughest necks pointed to a door and said "No, in there." and i thought that's the room where they keep the torture machines and hot things that burn, and pins. But they shoved me through the door and i was back on the floor near the front again! Just then the Sundays started into "Love" which was my favorite song of theirs at the time (now it's "My Finest Hour"). I got the concert t-shirt which had an apple and a pear on the front. When i wear it, i thrust out my chest and ask: "Don't i have a nice pear?" ....Pair, geddit? I spoke to Morrissey once at the same theater. Oh and we had a Vespa gathering today, 25 of us cruising the main drag, zipping thru the mountain roads, and putt-putting by the beach. We ruled the school.

Message-ID: <385797315.972290499363.JavaMail.root@web577-mc> Hello hello, The beginning of the week was awful, because of Uni work and other stuff, so I got drunk on Wednesday. Good move, on Thursday I was all fizzy but suddenly the week started being great. It was a P!O!P! week really... * Thursday : Mojave 3* The international blues festival of Cerdanyola, a little city near Barcelona, was offering free gigs this week. Not really blues though but still. So I went down there with Jordi on Thursday, where we met lovely Maria that went all the way down from Perpignan to join us. And she brought us sweets, how nice is that? The gig was good, a bit quiet at the beginning but it got really nice by the end. * Friday: Hefner* On Friday we went there again with Jordi, Maria and three of my friends cos the lovely Hefner was playing. Well before that we had to see "Love of Lesbian", a band from here...Well it was as good as their name, which means not much really. But I didn't really care because I was so awfully excited about Hefner that I would have supported a 45mn set of Slikpnot. Then Maria and I saw Darren in the audience so we went in order to get CD signed (we're goupies you know ;) Darren was a bit...not talkative but well I wasnt either, cos I was all impressed, so fair enough� We waited for quite a while, then finally they got on the stage, asked if we were ready and started "Hello Kitten": I thought I would die of excitement but instead my feet started moving and I jumped all around the place (and on my neighbours feet I think but I didn't really care) It was SUPER GRATE! Really it was, we had some old songs and some from "We love the city", and I had a great time (and I think I was not the only one) Best song: "The day that Thatcher dies"and "The Hymn for the cigarettes" Best 'in-between songs bit': "OK from now on it's gonna be rock'n'roll: firewalls, guitar solos...Try to imagine you're at a Coldplay gig and it's getting really wiiild!" Hefner rocks my world :) *Friday night: Mond Club* After the gig we took a night bus (much more nicer than London ones really) and went to the Mond Club, the club where the pop kids are going. Well we were expected a Marc Almmond Djing but it seems the lazy arse stayed n bed and instead we had a resident DJing. Megod, what an experience. It started sort of OK-ish...Then suddenly we had Robbie Williams (in a indie club, mind you) and Marylin Manson and then it all went wrong and we had bad 80's dance. Argh. So we left early, cos after expecting one hour for the DJ to get back to realities (we had a B&S song between two crap ones but it wasn't enough you see) we were a bit fed up. So we got the tube and got home (and I slept till late, mmmm lovely lazy Saturday) *Saturday: Niza* A nice Spanish little band that just fit in the "twee-pop" definition on my mind. Lovely quiet songs, it was nice. *Sunday: rainy and windy* So I went to see the waves crashing. Living by the sea is just fantastic. *Highlights of the week* I fit again in my favourite red trousers. Yeah it doesn't sound fantastic said that way but I bet you didn't quited smoking a year ago and since then were giving desperate looks at your fave trousers. My stupid flatmate is on holidays for two weeks. Yay! And one of my mates is visiting next week. Double yay! I've been stolen my mobile phone. Again. Argh. Next one will be the third one to be bought in a year (not to mention the two credit cards, don't tell me I should be more careful more my parents have done it already) Still it costs a fifth of what you pay to get a fix spanish phone line these days. Modern life is rubbish. *Rhyme problem of the week* Lots of people on the list have got a name that rhymes with "baby" (Honey, Velocity, Stevie, Carey, Lixi, Lucy, Ally, Jordi etc...See there is an looot) Not me. I wish I had a name that rhyme with baby so people can call me "whatever-baby" but there is no way you can make Elena rhymes with baby really. How can I explain to my mum I want to change my name for Teletubby so people can call me Tubby-baby? Am I getting rhyme obsessed?

Water! and the rest of Idles peculiar weekend... Message-ID: <20001023115923.16896.qmail@web611.mail.yahoo.com> Hi, There was a fire at the block on Saturday. Three fire engines. It was quite a sight to see. My flatmate alerted me to it, as I was sitting, idly in my room, watching telly. So I stepped out onto the balcony, to smell a wave of smoke. I love the smell of burning things. Three fire engines! All fully equiped with cute firemen. ;) Abi, the girl flatmate and I thought it was a shame we couldn't be rescued... As it turned out, the fire was in a flat two blocks away from mine. Same level though, and afterwards there was a stench of smoke in the corridor. It took them ages to get it under control. There was a warning tht they were going to shut off the power and stuff, which irritated me a bit. But in view of the circumstances and stuff... I guess it would have been okay. Yesterday morning, the flat windows were boarded up, and outside there was a charred pram and some melted matresses. Fortunately, as far as I know, nobody was in when it happened. Rumour as it that it was an electrical appliance that started it . Water! Woke up on Saturday morning to find puddles of water. Abi had put out some pans and things to catch the drips. Apparently it was due to the heavy rainfall on Friday night, and the electric light was removed so we didn't electrocute ourselves or anything. They came round this morning, to sort it out, I think they've already sorted out the source. I don't know what happened or why, cos this morning I was trying to avoid my alarm clock, and stay snuggled in bed. I dreamt I was in Oslo, arguing with an Oslo man, in Norwegian, about taking my clothes off, because he thought it was too warm for so many layers. I had a strange dream Saturday too. About a little boy and his mum who went to see an uncle of hers. Then they went to a graveyard, and there was an open coffin. the uncle told the little boy to look inside, and there, he saw the uncle's dead body. He returned to the uncle to tell him what he saw, and sees his mother handing over a baby. The baby was his little sister who had died. She was handing her to the uncle to look after in heaven. Got to work on essays in Norwegian yesterday, and my disertation, a creative writing piece of 5000 words. Started in English, but I'll translate it into Norwegian. Its pretty good. Complete with a plot and an ending... unusual for me... Oh, and by the way.. Its not just Glasgow that get free papers. So do Edinburgh, and Livingston. And we get them on the train too. neeh.

Why not post indeed.... A few things have been going on. I went to see the Delgados the other night, who were utterly fantastic. As David says 'I can see who wears the trousers in that band now' (Emma). Very very good - I imagine lots of you went. 'Nae jaspers' - it explains a lot. Also, I went home for the first time at the weekend. I walked into Hillhead station from my halls, and just as I walked round the corner, who was staning there but Struan and Isobel. STRUAN AND ISOBEL It was one of those utterly knee-quaking, heart-fluttering moments. And I had the courage to go up and speak to them (it was an opportunity not to be missed). Struan was great, lovely; Isobel looked a wee bit annoyed though, I guess I did kind of interrupt them :( SO, Isobel, if you see this - sorry for interrupting you (I'm the girl who randomly accosted you on Friday lunchtime in the leather coat). That brings my Belle and Sebastian sightings/interactions to a grand total of...wait for it...5. 5 people that is. I'm easily pleased, sorry. So, non-sequitur here: the new Hefner album. Good or pants? In my opinion, it's not matching up to their previous efforts. But, who knows - I'm going to see them on November 3rd so I guess that'll decide how I feel. Saw the tracklisting today for the Jeepster/Xfm album, and it looks fantaaaaaaaaaastic :) Anyway, I think that's enough ranting for now. Lots of love, Katy x _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

I'll start by announcing that this has no B&S content. that's alright tho' cause all of you U.K.-ers (not UKERS that sounds gross) get all the good gossip, so really all us yanks have to offer are anectdotes, anyways I'm going to tell you all about a show I saw last wednesday evening in Providence Rhode Island. Providence is about an hour south of Boston (which is home...) OKay I went to go see a band called Sunny Day Real Estate. Now if you're in the 23+ yearold range (yes, I'm a fogey but I haven't grown up yet...there too much living to do to grow up but I digress...) then SDRE could be a very meaningful album for you. In 1994 they put out a album called "Diary" it was one of the most powerful records you'll every hear. Emotional, angst-ridden but not in a "pearljam" was rather in a socially anomic sense. It's really a moving beautiful record. It also created a genre called Emo-core, or now just Emo. Cause it was musically based on hardcore (which i don't really hear...but..) and it's lyrical content was emotional geddit>? Emo-core. Anyways SDRE started it and in my opinion perfected it. This album Diary means alot to me. I was listening to it in my dorm room when I found out on my friends was found dead of Spinal meningitis. Track #4 "round" ..so an emotionall charged album became that much more for me.. a year or so later they came around and my best friend Luke and I were going to go see them but being at college (University for you UK-ers)and having a final exam the next day we blew it off. then the band broke up. I'd never see them play. Never hear those songs that meant so much to me live. it was very depressing. then they got back together but the lead singer had found god and was born again. He put out a solo album that was pretty tough on the ears. the edge was apparently gone. that raw nerve was covered over by faith. they put out two more albums that were good but nothing like "Diary" and I wasn't motivated to go see them again because I "knew" that they wouldn't play anything from "Diary" they weren't the same people nor in the same place. Wednesday night my friend JP called and said we're going to Providence to see SDRE we'll pick you up in hour. I said sure and went along. He'd seen them since they've gotten back together. I asked if there was any chance they'd play anything off diary and he said the two times he's seen them they've only played one song "in circles" each time. I wasn't expecting anything.. I was so wrong. they opened with "Pheurton Skeurto" a cool song with a waltz-time piano line It almost saddened me cause I figured that was the one "old song" i'd get and it wasn't "48" my favorite. they they played a newer song then he said "this is the first song I've ever written for sunny day and it's out quintessntial song, it's called 48" I admit I nearly cried. it was powerful, and the bad was so good the emotion was all still there. they seemed to really like the old songs... anyways I've rambled on. they played 6 of 11 songs off of Diary and it was the greatest thing ever.. the whole ride home I kept repeating "i never thought I'd hear those songs" I apologize for taking up space and mythologizing SDRE but sometimes a band does that to people and it's wonderful cheers have a nice day jef. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Message-ID: <20001023190817.6570.qmail@web118.yahoomail.com> Hi guys, most of you won't have a damn clue who I am, but I thought that after being accused of being a lurker on the list, I would show my face and reply to a couple of emails recently sent. Firstly, if I remeber correctly, it's generally a good idea to have a bit of B+S content in emails so here goes... Has anyone seen the piano book for FISHYCLAPS (or is that term outdated now and I have to type the oh-so-boring FYHCYWLAP) and does anyone know if there is a guitar tab book? Also, on the official website there is talk of a guitar tab book with EVERY B+S song in it. Has that idea been scrapped, and the FISHYCLAPS book taken its place, or is that book still likely to be released. The reason I'm asking is that even though Troika (my 1st Band) is a little too punky to play B+S songs as surprise covers at gigs, I'm thinking of starting a rather twee 'side project' (oh, very muso!!!!) called 'the cupcakes' or some other intensely twee name, and we'll play some b+S songs at gigs. Can anyone help? Anyway, moving on... I'm gutted that Jason has left us... I know he says he won't but I bet he comes back one day... I'll send a virtual wink whenever he does :o) A really true friend who doesn't have any hidden agenda like a couple of my other so-called-friends... You Know Who You Are!!!! (although none of them are on this list so the last comment was a bit pointless!) HAPPY BIRTHDAY.... to both Andy (our singer), Paul (our Drummer) and belatedly (although I spent most of her birthday with her) to Amy Jackson!!!!! Yes Idlewild was excellent!!! In both Aberdeen and Glasgow! YOU JUST HAVE TO BE WHO YOU ARE!!!!!! OK... Troika... Thank you to both Amy and Jason for publicly praising my band. To explain a bit about us... We are melodic, punky, alternative, fresh, and fun! To date we have been compared to the following bands... Idlewild, R.E.M., The flaming lips, The Gang of Four, Joy Division, Mogwai, At the Drive In, Radiohead, The Delgados, and Seafood. If anyone is at all interested we have a website you can visit.. Http://www.troikaonline.co.uk where you can find out more... Ok, just a couple of hellos to finish off... to the following... Hello, it was nice to meet you, email me anytime... *JenOwl *the bloke she was with in Flip (sorry mate, names!!! tsk tsk tsk) *Ian Radcliffe *Ally Cook To the following... Hi, lots of love, c ya soon... *Amy Jackson *Sweetie *Jason (if he hasn't deserted us yet!) last words of the day... Read Alisdair Gray's Lanark. It is outstanding!!!! Simpsons Quote of the day...

Jeepster Headlines http://www.jeepster.co.uk/christmas/ It's a cool, cool Christmas Every year there's a record that seems to catch the moment, sum up the season, set the mood in motion. This year is no exception, whether you've been chilling to Grandaddy, getting down to The Dandy Warhols or slumbering in the wonder of Belle and Sebastian there is now a record that brings together all of these incredible artists for a good cause and a break from the usual Christmas albums that drive you nutty. Thanks to the efforts of XFM and Jeepster Recordings Ltd, we are very proud to be bringing you "It's A Cool Cool Christmas", a charity album with a difference. Not here will you find Cliff Richards, Mariah Carey, Band Aid and the over played tunes of years ago, now there's a Christmas album that bangs its drums to your beat. And to make it more worthwhile, EVERY PENNY IN PROFIT is being donated to The Big Issue Foundation. The bands have all donated the songs, and we, the record label, are donating all profits. XFM have been integral in bringing this all together and they are giving up time to promote it. Check out the artists who've contributed, the tracks they've recorded and then bear in mind the reason for this record. Once you've done all that, buy the record and start to get into the Christmas cheer!

The title song on this EP is taken from the forthcoming long- player "Swansong For You". Its dark, baroque atmosphere plays host to harpsichord, cello and violins, whilst philosophising on the potential disaster that comes from living with the world's most perennial four letter word. 'Going Home', 'October's Sky' and 'Hold Back A Thousand Hours' were recorded with Domino maverick Bill Wells at East Kilbride Arts Centre in the late spring. (It was definitely springtime, as the studio has been lauded for its large Victorian windows). Falling From Grace Going Home October's Sky Hold Back A Thousand Hours The EP will be available on CD and 12" with the catalogue numbers JPRCDS019 / JPR12019 respectively. These will be available through our international distributors as always. "Swansong For You" will be the second long-player by The Gentle Waves set for release on November 6th 2000. The first one, "The Green Fields Of Foreverland", was released in April of 1999. Let The Good Times Begin Partner In Crime Falling From Grace Loretta Young Sister Woman Solace for Pain Flood Pretty Things There Is No Greater Gold There Was Magic, Then The LP will be available on CD and LP with the catalogue numbers JPRCD011 / JPRLP011 respectively. These will be available through our international distributors as always. In support of the release of this new material, The Gentle Waves are currently in rehearsal for a selection of live dates around the UK and it is hoped that they will venture to America early in the New Year. The first test of the new live set will be seen on BBC Scotland's 'The Beat Room' show towards the end of November.

Well, it produced 3 alien-babies, and then died on me. Silk-screen prints are supposed to be forever! So I'm cutting up all the didn't-quite-turn-out prints and making an arty collage...no one will know the difference.Shh! Don't tell my art teacher or else there will be some Lambasting with Honey's kinky whip, and I see JenOwl has come into possesion of one too..so,beware of sinister whip squad. Halloween costumes,yippee!Halloween is one of my favourite holidays.The air,leaves and candy. Once I saw two Devils on Devil's Night,and they were smoking through their ski-masques,impossibly cool. I'm not going to be original this year, I'll just be the sure-fire french maid. A staple of any girl's wardrobe,for sure. But there are more pressing matters at hand, fishnets or thi-hi's and garters? Decisions,decisions. Struan...what would YOU choose? Now, there's lots of talk round these parts of sinister boys and nail varnish and glitter,so I get confused, but if those gorgeous hands with the long red nails in the picnic photos (3rdBdayStillLife) belong to Ally96, I will eat Isobel's tigers-ears and die a thousand times. Phillip Runion: Do not worry about sending messages of Pish to me. It's the most commonly used word by one of my favourite Men of the world...SIGH...excuse me as I press my body against the window,tears streaming down my face...bosom rising and falling as the rain falls harder with each sob...(don't mind me,I'm just trying to get as many matches as possible with certain words in the search machine) Honey whispered,in sugary pink tones: >And if you're >within hearing range of a member of the band, and your embarrassed >fumbling explanations that it's "ironic" fail to impress, and you try >and blame it on me, then I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking >about. Ho ho. Ha Ha! B&S ringtones. Ok, sometimes I worry that my certain thoughts of certain members of the band are a little weird,but... I mean,what if you're chatting up Struan in a bar,and your cell goes off to THAT. I can bet you that Struan would toss his hair over one shoulder, roll his eyes and run away, gucci pumps clicking off in the distance and there goes your one and only chance for some loving. Oh,that looks bad. A longtime-ago a boy once sent a poem to umm..a 'friend' of mine.And from then on I am always afraid whenever I say loving it will sound like him: A KISS TO STOP MANKIND I WANT TO GIVE YOU LOVING THE SORT TO BLOW YOUR MIND I STOP THE POEM HERE INCASE YOU DO NOT LIKE IT BUT IF YOU WOULD LIKE MORE MY SWEET I'LL MAKE YOU FEEL EXCITED! (shudder) (and the whole poem was in upper-case too..help help) Are any else of you pack rats? I keep..the weirdest,strangest little notes and scraps and letters. Marybeth had quite a funny post asking if any one else on the list is a Stylophile. Me! Me! Me! I arm myself for classes,ready to take notes with a special pen set (Hot Pink, Wild Violet, Neon Orange, Electric Blue, Lime Green..) and don't even get me started on how gorgeous silver ink is on black paper; I get all tingly. l!o!v!e!, genevieve p.s Christiaan, you are of the most delicious nuts in the whole wide world...

If you do, don't leave it in till it explodes all over the inside of the oven. If that should happen, make sure you clean it the same day. If you forget, at least don't leave it in there while you go on a week-long trip to San Francisco. And if THAT happens, never, ever open that oven door when you get back from your trip. Never. Take my word for it. Just get a new oven. Content: "A Century Of Fakers" is the best B&S song right now (but will not usurp "The State I Am In" [Single version] {more controversey here} \and I'm running out of parenthesis styles/, as the best B&S song EVER, of course). Please someone assure me that boys with zits (lots) who have chemistry will never major in biology. I shudder at such thoughts. But I've got tons of ego, and tons of self-doubt, so I guess I'm in good shape. And please relate all eggplant stories (however provocative or obscene) to me OFF LIST.

I will not bore you with my down things tho, cos I do that like, every other post... you'll just have to wait for the next post now. I know I can't wait for more moaning from Ken either... :) JenOwl is thinking about starting a navy where people can drink Ribena instead of rum, well, I think a better idea is to have Red Bull drinking navy... then they can be in the Air Force at the same time after growing wings, and all that proper stimulation for the body and mind that they can get then, instead of those kind of "stimulation for the body" than Navy people normally gets at sea... Lil' birthday girl Amy mentioned her new hair, so body parts page enforcer, do your work. :) Things exploding in ovens remind me of the "Clarkson" shows they had on the BBC, where they have a cool bit where they put stupid things in microwave ovens to make them explode, but with that you have to suffer Jeremy Clarkson's ego, and his pitiful attempts at comedy. So all in all that show is poop. Yeah the Sundays seem to have disappeared after the very late coming third album... no, in fact I think was after Tin Tin Out made a cover of "Here's where the story ends", poor Harriet and co. must be hiding in a dark corner in shame... The original song was lovely tho and everyone should get their first album. They have a song with the word "lavatory" in it as well which is always good. Ooooo oooo o oo still can't believe I have won the painting competition.. I'd of course like to thank all my friends to help me through difficult times and my manager and everyone... hehe :) I still don't feel that I deserved to win.. especially with a late entry which was unfortunately disqualified for being too much of a slow graffiti but it is well good and everyone should see it (it's on Mr. carsmilesteve's website now http://www.geocities.com/carsmilesteve/painting/index.htm) and give a round of applause and kisses.

(that looks like plop in lower case) and they are really skint and were doing their own t-shirt selling and stuff http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/wrappedinfakefur someone talked about rain: i hate it when i t rains, but i've recently realised that if you stride throught the downpour, all the while telling yourself that its a beautiful sunny day you really don't notice how cold and wet you are. it really works (until you get insied and have to peel sodden courduroy from your legs, eugh!) people also talked about ringtones, i have the theme from the magic roundabout on my phone, my dad worked it out for me, he's good at things like that, but i think i'd be too embarassed to ask him to do any b+s. i'm also looking for the roobarb and custard theme for a nokia phone, i used to have it, but it was rubbish and cost me 2 quid to download. grrr. jen suggested we all get capes, i hope she won't be too offended if i say that i won't be getting one as i really don't think it's a look that would suit me. i do like ribena though. plug:- if anyone is in the leeds area tonight , my boy is djing at the think tank on call lane, its a manics themed night, but i'll be using my feminine charms to get him to play some good stuff as well, so if you haven't got anything better to do...... thanks for listening, but now i'm late for a complex calculus lecture, love and irn-bru, fiona. our upstairs toilet and our shower and our washing machine and the sink in my room are all broken. no really. and the hoover never worked properly. i want to go home. *sigh* +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

(although it sounds much better sped up, of course.) but this is the first 12" 45RPM piece i've EVER seen, and it doesn't say -anything- about it being 45 RPMs ANYWHERE in the packaging!! finally, i've found the vinyl numerous places online, and with the same track listing (the guy claimed it had tracks that weren't available on other albums.) can anyone help me out with what's the story here? in other news, i got the new godspeed album on vinyl too. it's GORGEOUS. oh god. godspeed is playing at my tiny tiny school on december 9 (bard college, in upstate new york), along with WILL OLDHAM and ***MICK TURNER*** from the DIRTY THREE! god, it's so superstardom up here! ida and low played here a week ago... but everyone was talking so much that elizabeth (from ida) got really upset, and they stopped right in the middle of the best songs... sorry for not being faux-brit tonight, i just don't have it in me. - adam +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

The catch is that it was done with barbie dolls. At first it was both startling and hilarious. But once the initial surprise had past it became clear that the choice was brilliant on many levels. The most obvious reason being that, other than it being a documentary on KC, it was also a commentary on anorexia. It had the creepiest cuts, like this other barbie being spanked, and archie bunkers wife. Apparently, the movie was banned b/c the director didn't get permission to use the Carpenters material. I wish i could remember the director's name, but it is by the same guy who did Velvet Goldmine. I dreamt I had to go to Mars In Get Me Away From Here I'm Dying, I am convinced that he says "Flying" one time at the beginning of the the second stanza of "dying[s]". I heard something rather peculier the other day. someone told me that Dunkin' Donuts and 7eleven's are popping up all over Europe. It's just strange to me for some reason. I just think America needs a Safeway is all, really. Not really, though, because when i was at Safeway a year ago, they made you bag all of your own groceries, while in America, it comes free with paying for all the food you just bought. Except, in Safeway they sell bottles of spirits, a whole isle to choose from at that. In America you'd be lucky to get a bottle of cooking wine in a grocery store. I went to a Burger King in Edinburgh one time, yeah, and it would be like going to an actual sit down restaurant over here. I mean, the whopper actually looked the way it did in the picture fer chrissakes. Burger King in America= somebody taking an old, worn out patty, throwing a slice of cheese (from oil and water, mind you!) adding a slice of tomato with the green part all over it, and then some shredded lettuce from a bag, for good measure. Ketchup, Mayo top of the bun, and then a huge hand smashing down on top of it, squishing it all together, so that it's as thin as a pancake. Moral=> cook for youself. I just couldn't ever listen to my grandmothers advice because she was clinically insane. jealousy, i guess. maybe not. yours truly, phil r _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Anyway, if anyone wants them (I don't even know if it's sold out or anything), drop me a line. Thank you. Now, on to other stuff Phil Runion said: in Safeway they sell bottles of spirits, a whole aisle to choose from at that. In America you'd be lucky to get a bottle of cooking wine in a grocery store. You want to go to a chip shop in edinburgh mate, they sell BOUZE there too and fags, which is always handy, if you're an alcoholic who fancies a haggis supper Lots of people talked about mobiles, have you noticed in the cinema it tells you to switch off your mobile, but they don't tell you not to smoke anymore. Maybe you can smoke now and NO ONE HAS REALISED because we are all conditioned... I have a GRATE Xmas album called "tijuana xmas" which is carols in a mariachi styleee, it might even have o cum emmanuel on it, i'll have to check. It's even better than my "tijuana lennon and mcartney" and gets me in a festive mood when i'm stuffing my bird. Jordi said the auction has closed, does that mean we can start bidding yet??? I seems like aaaaaaaaaages since i sent my "talent" in, oh that's because it was, i was still living in cheltenham then, which seems like a lifetime ago..

I don't know if I'm the last one to find this and you already know about it (I usually find websites that my mates have known about for donkeys) but http://www.kcrw.com has some great live sessions from about 1994 to the present including Mirah, Magnetic Fields, April March, Stars, Mark Eitzel, Stereolab, Jeff Buckley and more. The magfields one is jolly good, especially Papa was a Rodeo and also if you fancy a giggle at Stephin Merritt's chirpy interview style. I haven't got much else to say so I'll save myself for next time. Scots, see you tomorrow! Juicy Lucy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I don't think having phones ringing is such a bad thing, it reminds me that I may well have some friends, afterall.. and a phone is like the best thing that you'd ever have if you are looking for someone's house, and you get lost. Then there is of course text messaging.. sending little bits of text to your friends and get lovely replies back that makes you curl up and smile, no longer are long coach journeys and lectures a pain. Also, if your phone does WAP, the adorable and clever princess honey has "wapped up" the sinister site, so you can read the most recent sinister mail on the move! So even if you are away from your computer you can check out what some cute Chinese guy in Nottingham is up to, for example... :) Anyway the "wapsite" address is http://www.missprint.org/sinister/wap surprisingly :) Finally if you live in Europe and if you ever fancied composing your own ring tone but your phone doesn't do it... you can do it on www.iobox.com, you have to sign up and they give you 30 credits for free, and it costs 4 credits each time you send one... but they have a nice java applet thing that lets you compose your favourite b&s song.

Which of course makes them excellent value for money. Amongst the thousands of objects hurled at Luis Figo on Saturday night were two mobile phones. I wonder if one of them was Jordi's? I once spoke to Jordi's mum on the phone. Jordi appears to be in ecstasy over the new Gentle Waves album's precious beauty. I think me and ElenaNena99 are going to have to take him to next week's Jethro Tull gig. A hairy one-legged flautist dressed as a tramp and singing about heavy horses will soon have him bang to rights. There are (whispers) photos of Isobel dressed in school uniform (nearly) on Jordi's list website. She's sitting in the back of a car, on cold leopard seats, well it suddenly struck me it just might be Max after all. Does anyone know if Max has cold leopard seats? Seems quite likely. Isobel seems to have slimmed down a bit after the ill-fated love handle years. Last night I watched Leeds versus Barcelona in a bar ful of geriatic Catalonians baying for blood. I was quite relieved when they equalised. Quite lucky to be alive. Stay at home, watch the football in my bathroom. My favourite children's television programme was Mister Rodd - as if by magic, a Roddkeeper appeared! I have heard the Magnetic Fields. You used to be able to get a special Duke discount when ordering Young and Foolish direct from the man himself. I for one await Young and Foolish 2 with quivering anticipation. I'm very proud to appear in volume one, albeit in a secondary role. I'm in three books, I am. Jason Andreas left us without telling us about The WHO concert. Well done to all the stalkers just lately, that's what the list is for, you know. I am listening to Here My Dear by Marvin Gaye and it sems a shame to spoil it by spouting shite at the same time, so I'm going. But not before answering The Pinefox: No I don't agree that Thin Lizzy are like The Clash, but they've got some corking songs, like Tonight There's Gonna Be a Jailbreak and The Boys Are Backing Town and You Are All I Need to Know You Hold the Key So Don't Let Go My Sarah. I don't like The Clash much. I think what I meant to say is that it was nice to see Simon Reynolds talking about a good group instead of all that AR Kane nonsense. That's my sensible view of the matter. Weblogs are draining the very lifeblood from the list. United we stand, divided we fall.

I have no idea what that is either so I don't have any concept of the idea lifeblood stealing its corpulent way through narrowed and tired veins.... sorry about that, I've been reading "Nothing" by Paul Morley. But you know how you usually read a book from front to back (or back to front if you are JAPANESE or CHINESE or HONG KONG ESE) well, I found this to be impossible, and a better was opening the book at random and reading a few pages until you fall asleep with the words "I'm A Grumpy Git, Me", echoing in your ears. Stockport aint so bad! So Lucy is going to Scotchland? I hope she knows that Railtrack have closed the west coast line so if she goes the BEST route (via Preston of course!) she wlil have delays. But but! If she goes tomorrow she would have the company of my own fair self up to Preston too, cos I'm going home in order to go to a decent pub, and hear people speak proper. And no-one will know what a cider armadillo is and I shall be happy. Isobel Campbell was in Londons Trendy Time Out this week. In the singles reviews.

Are you all blind? Are you asleep are your eyes shut? I bet you don't even like Dexys Midnight Runners (I do!), in fact, I bet you can't even DRIVE!!!!! Actually, I can't drive either, but thats beyond the point. I am however, a Pokemon League Champion. Achieving this goal, starting with a Bulbsaur, took me 40 or so hours. I'm proud! Now I am starting again, with Charmander, with the express aim of CATCHING THEM ALL! I can't wait to see the Pokemon Movie 2, in fact, Pokemon 1 too. That Mewtwo seems a bit of a bugger, to tell you the truth. Yikes. I think there is compelling evidence that I am actually 8 years old. An intense devotion to Pokémon, the fact that last night I drank some Apple Flavour Hooch (it was horrid), and um... urr... I have a new mobile phone? If anyone knows of a site/has any cool ringtones for the Siemens c35i, let me know. Unless you are a Gentle Waves fan and you are going to send my unsuspecting phone tunes with names like "Down With The Fwuffy Wuffy Sqwiwells". Whatever happened to the Squirrel Liberation Front?

Ken, you're on about the NTL monopoly on Nottingham Campus. I was there for a couple of years, but what I found worse than phone monopolies was the cash monopolies... Mondex, a sort of cashless piece of plastic with a chip in it... it was the height of evil because you have to load it up with credit from your account and the machines were always sited in the union bar very close to the Guiness tap... you could never run out of money (well eventually, but...)

Dymaxion "Dymaxion x 4 + 3 = 39:21" - as far as i know, this is really hard to find in america - it's on trattoria in japan, but the band is fom NYC. crazy stuff...the only band i've ever heard that i could compare it to is Silver Apples, but this has more of a loose, NYC groove to it. it shouldn't work, but it does. 2. Badly Drawn Boy "Hour of Bewilderbeast" i think he deserved the Mercury Prize for this - it's a beautiful record. lots of songs, but it just means more to consume and love, because you'll become infatuated w/ it. 3. High Llamas "Buzzle Bee" yeah i know it doesnt come out until halloween, but vintage vinyl here in STL has a promo copy that they let me listen to. they get more and more psychedelic and swirly... brazilian influences too, not just the obvious pet sounds/smile & beatles references. 4. kid koala "carpal tunnel syndrome" one of the coolest, funniest, and creative records i've heard in a while. he's got a great sense of humor, and the groove is nice as well. 5. blur "music is my radar" single - i love the B-side, black book. nice soulful stuff. the title track is kind of silly though... it's quite cool of them to sneak a bit of a latin style in there though. BELLE AND SEBASTIAN CONTENT: a jeepster christmas album! that should be fun. more songs to add to my ultimate christmas mix tape, i hope. i wish B&S would have covered "Christmas in Hollis" though. it's the all-time greatest christmas song. i'm going to go listen to 80's gainsbourg now, because it's so ridiculously great. talk to everyone soon. mike j PS - i don't know if there are any fans of Cornelius out there, but he got married to Takako Minekawa a few months ago. i thought that was really cool. ciao everybody +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

DOG on Wheels - the first lines make me whimper the rest make me shuffle my feet. 2. The State that I'm In - better than the original not by much though... 3.

One Tree Hill is no more. Fans of U2, or ex-fans who were well into "The Joshua Treee" as a teenager will be shocked/sad/amused/interested to know that Auckland's "One Tree Hill" is no more. The 125 year-old tree, one of auckland's most recognisable landmarks, was cut down and airlifted away by helicopter today as it had become dangerous in its old age. Everyone here is very sad. yes, I know, I know, it was just a tree. Oh, and for the thousand or so of you who have *no* idea what 'm talking about, in Auckland there is this small mountain/big hill, called "One treee Hill". At it's summit is an obilisk monument and one giant pine tree. It's pretty much visible from all over auckland, and is very striking and beautiful. But a few years ago some Maori (ie. indigeous New Zealanders) attacked it with a chainsaw on a couple of occasions, as they saw the tree as "a symbol of colonial oppression", and it started to die, hence todays activity. And the U2 connection - the song was written for, and dedicated to, a long time roadie of the band, who was a New Zealander, and who died in a moter accident. Quite why I posted this I don't know ....... Anyway, take care everyone.

Message-ID: hi there eric and anyone else in TX, you were asking about houston I moved from houston to oakland about 2 years ago. it is a fun place, but you do have to look a bit. i think I remember a scottish girl posting saying she was living in houston now as well. i wish there had been more b&s fans when I was living there. but there are some still. just hiding. first off, you should go to notsuoh. its one of my favorite places. its downtown at main and preston, its sort of a coffee shop weird hang out place. be careful though, becuz it is right near a lot of the awful yuppie bars that have cropped up around there. if you go and you happen to meet the owner, jim, tell him that I sent you, cuz he is a friend of mine. also, brasil is another pretty good spot for food and coffee and drinks, it is on westheimer and woodhead I think? there is a dance club on 802 fannin that is pretty cool, they play pop, and 80's/90's alternative, not super techno, the best you're gonna get for a houston club I think. also, rudyards on waugh is the place where most of the indie type bands play. its good. as for bands, I like port vale quite a lot. try to catch them. and sad like crazy too. I run a label with some folks who still live in houston. here is the website if you're interested. there are some links and stuff. http://www.ojet.com/ lessee, what else? oh yeah, pick up the houston's other, the local alternarag, that has good stuff in it sometimes. there is also a website about local music, its kinda weird, but has some good info, maybe outdated, i don't know. http://www.spacecityrock.com/ the thing to remember is that most of houston is about punk and metal. there is pop, but its usually pretty hard stuff. thats proly part of the reason I left, becuz I did not enjoy being booed and threatened for not bursting peoples eardrums on stage. but any town is what you make it, its all about the people anyway. there are lots of cool kids there, just very spread out, but when a good band comes to town, the kids come out in droves and you wonder where they are the rest of the time. cheers, g r a m _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

It was pretty hard. In my modern art history class though, we were talking about Art Nouveau, and my teacher brought up the Glasgow School of Art, which was designed by Macintosh, I think (who was from Scotland). She also said he designed a bunch of Miss Cranston's Tea Rooms around Glasgow during an turn of the century temperance movement. All very interesting architecture and interior design. What I was wondering is this: is there any connection between Belle and Sebastian and the Glasgow School of Art? Did any of them go there or did they ever play a show there? To anyone who lives in or has visited Glasgow: Have you visited or toured the School of Art or been to any of the tea rooms? Just curious to know what your impressions because they seem very interesting. Also, I've read some of the Jimmy Corrigan comics and I agree...they are pretty sad. Especially the one where he goes with his dad to the world's fair and his dad leaves him there. I should get that book next, since I've only read the comic in the newspaper.

Really, I shouldn't give you the choice since the last thing I need is a repuation for turning tricks. (Actually, with as dull as my personal life is that might be exactly what I need. My journal has turned into valium in print.) Yesterday, I was in # Sinister and asked that kittenmouse radio, Angelic Andrea, what she was going as for Halloween. Her Reply? "Nothing." Nothing!! Can you imagine that? She said that she didn't have enough time to come up with something creative. Oh the shame! The problem is is that almost everyone I ask says the same thing. (Of course, I haven't asked Chris Lampien - who I'm sure will be undressing this year for Halloween -- and every other day.) Being the helpful lass I am, I have come up with a classic Laura Llew List to help you with all of your last minute Halloween Costume Ideas. Break it down for me boyz! Laura Llew's Lovely List Of La La La (hey, I didn't want to ruin my alliteration) 5. Safety pin a couple of random socks and a dryer sheet or two to your shirt. Ta- Da: You are STATIC CLING. Minimal effort and yet you look clever. 4. This one I like because I get to bring my parasole because if you go as a DENNY'S CUSTOMER anything goes. Of course, it is hard to fake nicotine stained teeth. I was reading the Belle and Sebastian Top Ten Lists and someone listed Dennys as a good place to people watch. They said, "My uncle once refused to go to Denny's because it was not three A.M. and he wasn't drunk. I think that says it all." And I do too. 3. For the ladies: roll yourself in flour and go as a BATTERED WOMAN. Ouch! Don't hit me; It was Brier's idea. 2. Dress up like a beauty queen except you'll be the QUEEN OF BROCCOLI. A broccoli tiara, broccoli boquet, and don't forget - the broccoli in your teeth. And Laura Llew's Number One Suggestion For A Last Minute Halloween Costume is: Go as a Mormon Missionary. When trick or treating, people will actually open the door! You refuse the candy but invite yourself in and talk about the church. Then you can say, "No thank you, Sir, you save the candy and I'll save your soul." Now, I'm sure you are all wondering/downing the prozac like poptarts in hopes that it will MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT ALL STOP/curious as to what I'm going as for Halloween. Depsite the fact that I've been compared with Ally Sheedy two times in a very short time period, I will not be going as everyones favorite member of the Breakfast Club. I am going to be BRIER RANDOM. More specifically Brier in his picture on the get phreaky sinister page. (http://www.missprint.org/sinister/people/Brier.html) Yes! I'm getting my hair cut and then am going to spend hours fixing it to have that "I haven't brushed it yet" look. I'll dress in all black and I've already been practicing on looking pouty and petulant. (What you think looking fashionably depressed is EASY?) I already have the halloween day conversations worked out in my head: Prosaic Person: What are you dressed up as? me: *sighs and then languidly answers* I AM Brier Random. Prosaic Person: What's a Brier Random? me: "To be is to do." Prosaic Person: Huh? me: *pointedly stares at them as if they're an idiot and then sulks off to read Camus* Oh, how I'm looking forward to it so! Don't you wish you could be Brier too? Tough. You can't. It was my idea first. However, you can wish the bashful Brier a happy birthday since today is the celebration of his day o' birth. He's a blushing beauty so I won't reveal his age. (Though I'm told he is a thirsty one). I will attest to his greatness though. I saw on the Auction how he has a piece of his mail art for bid. I can tell you from personal experience that he is hilariously creative at that. (Plus, he has great lips.) However, I would be careful about stealing his ideas and using them as an art project for a stupid college class in fear that the teacher might call you 'edgy' and then you'll have to knock down her stupid little display while explaining to her that you are quite EVEN TEMPERED thankyouverymuch. Um, yes, HappyHappyBirthday to Brilliant Brier! AND Happy Halloween to everyone! Laura 'meeting all of your laura llew needs since 1977' PS - Literary Lisa (go virginia woolf! RAH!) from the Lisa & Lee duo told me that she had a literary party and one of her friends dressed up as Dorothy Parker - complete with a flask inside her beaded 20s purse! You know I was loving that idea. PPS - If Belle and Sebastian had been thinking about anyone except for themselves and yuletide spirits, they would have put out a cover of a classic Halloween song or at least something frightening and spooky like either Sarah or Isobel writing an entry in the band's diary so I could have fit in some content in this post. However, once again they can't ever think about how what they might do might effect Laura Llew. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Today is alternating between beautiful and ugly. For moments, the sun strikes swathes of golden leaves at a low angle, shimering in gale-force winds against a gunmetal sky. Then, rooms, car interiors, gardens, hilltops are cast into gloom, and a light spray of rain becomes cold like needles. The remaining apples were blown to the ground last night. boo! The church hijacked Halloween, like Christmas, from an old pagan festival. Like Christmas, it seems the people are beginning to claim it back, or, is it Hollywood and Department Stores? Anyway, in the Celtic calendar, the last night of October is 'Old Year's Night'. third sujbect Sometimes there is not much to say, so why say it? I scan books on shelves to give me inspiration but to what end? I'm too confused to leaven things with humour; too distracted to follow a single theme. Like the middle class wet liberal pseudo yuppie that I am I don't know the line between explanation and apology, and salve myself in the soothing tones of religious music praising a God that I have long since bracketed within 'speculations'. The fact is, the conundrum is easily explained if one considers that emotional need and rational justification are entirely different but, when writing, the means can project the former in the shallowest guise of the latter, until one gives up that ghost and simply declaims that, for these moments, rationality has to be suspended to allow the emotion to grow, unfettered by understanding. incompatible Two people meet, say. One has just been reading a biography of a wild decadent like Rimbaud, and the other has been reading a biography of an Olympic Athlete. No matter what they share in common, at that moment of meeting, they will be under the influence of incompatible forces. party Laura Lew's Lovely Lists addendum: if someone asks who you're dressed up as, say you're dressed up as them. If they complain that you're not dressed like they are, or you're not the same age sex etc., just reply that they're not generally dressed like static cling/a mormon etc. and that you're living the role and providing them with the opportunity for them to see the real them. At least you'll have started a conversation: make sure you approach someone you fancy, who isn't scared of weirdos...

Falling From Grace is very strongly reminiscent of some other tune, but I canÂ’t yet place it. Thanks to Toby for the interview with Mick "Munchies" Cooke.

You probably all know this, but the charity auction starts on Monday, hit http://www.myspace.co.uk/belleandsebastian/auction.html then for a link to the auction site. A whopping 162 lots to bid for so there must be something for everyone. Katarina's B&S Handjobs may well have supplanted Honey's postulated favourite the no gag reflex one. You can even bid for all the members of the band (er, except one). IÂ’ve sat here for a while now, so I guess thatÂ’s it. I hope I send *this* one to the correct address.

I've been told off again for not posting enough, so I thought I'd better. Halloween has come very quickly and I've just realised I haven't been invited to a single party or anything, . At least i don't have to worry about what to dress up in. Nick Drake! What a fantastic chap. You must buy his records if you haven't already. Auntsadie seems to think he's ripping off B&S in a VW advert, but i'm not sure if that's true. Man In a Shed is the best song. I sympathise with poor Amy with her grandfather situation since my grandmother went just last week. It's not like i knew her that well or really had any fond memories - she moved up to a home in Huddersfield (many many miles away) when I was quite little and we only saw her occasionally. And it's not like she was having a fantastic time in that old peoples home anyway. But for some reason it's still sad. On the way to the funeral we listened to a lot of Nick Drake! yay! and Belle and Sebastian, because they are also quite good. Speaking of whom, I met a boy at school who likes belle and sebastian. And also Nick Drake! yay! If only I was a girl, or he was a girl, then we could fall in love. He is rumoured to be gay, actually, but he denies it, so maybe I'd better not try it on. I did of course once meet a girl who liked belle and sebastian but I was too hopeless to do anything about it. I hope you've all been watching Roswell High on BBC 2 at 6pm on thursdays. If you haven't then you've been missing out on the absolutely adorable Maria, who just a few weeks ago had this hairband on that made her look an awful lot like Isobel. Speaking of whom, I will hopefully be going to see the Gentle Waves (which, if you try hard, you can pronounce with a distinctly twee lisp - try and stick a 'w' on the end of "Gentle") with a few sinistereens and maybe this boy from school, fantastic. Who else is going? the london one on the first of december. "He's a mess but he'll say yes, if you just dress in white." Oh dear, I'm in love with Hannah from S Club 7, but not with any girls who I know in real life, that is unfortunate. An alarming number of my friends are getting girlfriends who they met over the internet. I'm all for being sociable over the net and chat rooms and stuff are fun but is it really a good idea to decide you seriously like someone who you haven't seen? I rather like my new sideburns. My hairdresser suggested it and I thought it would be fun. Now I look even older and it's really easy to get various items sold to me, hurrah (being 16 as I am, I get certain kicks out of getting into 18 films or buying booze). This has been a disjointed post with no real purpose except to generally advocate the purchasing and listening to of Nick Drake! yay! records, which I apologise for but you see I can never keep my mind on one thing and I feel I must post because I keep getting told off by a certain lad from the list for not doing so. So I think i should go now hugs and kisses etc James x Jesus he knows me, and he knows I'm right... +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: it snowed today but it did not stay. someone on "goodbye enemy airship the landlord is dead" yells "it's christmas time" and i noyiced it for the first time today. i recieved a call from one of my best friends in scotland who emphasized how happy she was by saying it over and over again. by the third time i knew she was rolling. first time roller! Hurray!-- but wait, a quiet whisper inside my head asks, is it really? and i knew that my conscience had yet another thing to set its meat hooks into. Why should this bother me, someone else, be it a good friend, taking drugs? i used to use drugs quite often, but have been surprisingly sober for 3/4 of a year now (with the exception of a "pass the joint" after having far too many bevvy's (and i know. drink could be counted as a drug, but i don't count it.)) besides that:spic&span. Having played a role in the "drug culture" and eaten my fair share of potato chips, and having quite enjoyed myself at the time, i wonder to myself why this bothers me. one of the reasons is that i quite liked her because she never used, and i could still get on with her and all, whilst mostly all of my other friends were users also. the innocent appeal, yeah. She says that she won't do it again (not that i critisized, it is a fucking asshole who critsizes someone for rolling while they are rolling(other drugs apply as well)) that she thought she'd just try it out. Yeah. . . myself and many other people i knew said the very same thing. once a thing like that has you, that is it. you may not go out of your way to find it, but if it slides in under your nose, who's to say, ya know? i guess that i am almost anti-drug now. i take some flack for it from people i used to smoke with, etc. The temptation just isn't there any more. bordem and laziness just got so they weren't my thing. I think hearing that she had taken ecstacy may have caused me to start asking myself how much i miss all that, though. less about how i don't really want her to get into that kind of scene (although that is very present) and more about whether i am really past any (be it minor) addiction i might have (had). I think that i'll talk to her about it, though. Tomorrow, the day after. This week has been painstakingly mundane. Thank the good Lord for Godspeed you Black emporer. it is the closest thing to a religious experience i've had since the last time i walked past a church and laughed at it. Anyway. Sorry. i feel that i've said absolutely nothing. yours, phil r _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

By opening yourself up to us like that (in a beautiful way) you can be assured that your words will come to rest on understanding ears. And accept our support for you staying straight (if that's what you want). But don't feel too down about her using one time. Maybe she needs to learn what you learned, in the same way that you learned it (and the only way to really learn it). I too have watched women I love take dangerous steps in different directions. And they always ended up being just steps. It was the steps towards ME that I really worried about. Beware Of Brier, he's worse than hard drugs, I tell them. But if you're concerned about her, and that she took e once, maybe try to remember how it helped you when you needed it. And you came through the other side.

There is snow on the ground now and well those who ski are probably happy. I do not ski, I just become more of a bedhead during winter and record alot of music...and of course study more. Now if I can only spot the fox snow that i have been seeing in the massive forests around here it would be great and very list appropriate. By the way any of those on the list who sent me the addy for the fishytown art space I must thank you. For anybody who is going to tour in the future this place was the coolest venues on earth, it was done up like a giant tropical forest by a bunch of little kids...it is hard to descibe beyond that, but it is very cool. I saw the softies and they are wonderful people...Same with mirah and the micorphones(phil). Oh Jennifer from the softies noticed my B&S badge(the boy one), she never saw it before... Basically it was one of the best shows i was at... I am missing out on holloween this year, but it feels more like christmas to me. Strangely i am happy regardless.

I think the words at this part are something to the effect of: "On the wings of a nightingale...." but I'm really not sure. No one knows what I'm talking about. It's REALLY bothering me now. REALLY.

A bit of wind of the whole infrastructure collapses. What would Lord Palmerston say? He'd probably send gunboats to Greece, which wouldn't do anyone any good really. Ummm... Hello pumpkin heads, If anyone puts on gigs outside the metropolis of London in the fair windy isles of Great Britain and wants to help me can you email me and I'd be eternally grateful. Oh and if you think that's list abuse wait for this: LONDON! Saturday 4th November! 8:30 till late it's Strange Fruit Upstairs at the Garage with the wonderful TOMPAULIN and some other band I can't be arsed to hype called Copenhagen. ummm....!!!! That's better. To save a whole English pound sterling on entry on this musical extravaganza, which you can club together to buy ME drinks, go to: http://www.strange-fruit.co.uk/flyer/flyer.jpg (if you do check their website out try not to worry about the numerous mentions of off-kilter eclectica, it all comes out in the wash. There's also directions and stuff there but feel free to email me if you need even more info.) Then you get a fortnight off to recover before the the... 18th of November where there is a little soirée at London's finest, and in my humble opinion grandest venue, the Betsey Trottwood in Farringdon where they'll be bands and pop to keep you entertained into the early hours. But more of that later, just put it in your Hello Kitty diaries now... Oh and soon after that there's some Kindercore band fun in store for you. I'm too good to you aren't I? I wonder if I can get a listing in Smash Hits? As that would make me only a few steps away from Ronan Keating, and that's a few steps from god. I like the way he's predicted the storms here by dancing on a car in a flooded river in his video. Maybe he created the floods in a rage against our putting the Spice Girls back to number one sinning ways. Ronan I repent! Ummm.... doesn't it get dark early now. I wonder how that happened. Has anyone bid on the B&S auction site yet? I haven't got my registration details yet. Apparently the mimimum bid to go out for beers and pub games with my flatmates is £15. I think they've been priced out already. I'd pay good money if they'd clean up after themselves in the bathroom and do the washing up every once in a while, but I guess there isn't much chance of that eh?... Oh well better get that mop out then...

I'm already thinking of names for them. i'll have to wait until i'm holding them, or wearing them on my hands, of course, before actually deciding. i think one will be a girl and one will be a boy; identicle twins with the obvious exceptions. there is only one catch. i'm not sure that they will fit my hands as they are actually meant for girls, and are being ordered from the delia's catalogue. are girl gloves generally smaller than boy gloves? i think that they are. i hope they fit, even though i intend on making them fit, even if they don't.i can't wait! can anyone recommened a good book or web page that chronicles the role of women in film? I have to give an oral presentation on the subject, and though i am very fond of many female characters in many films, i'm not so sure that i could pigeonhole their contributions into a ten minute speech without some sort of guide lines. i've tried and ended up with very little to work with so far. i was a little put off after being assigned this topic, as the next one she handed out was "the impact that the british invasion made on the american music industry" about which i could speak on at length and without preperation at all.

Message-ID: <20001031143118.17517.qmail@web611.mail.yahoo.com> hi there, PAGAN BIT happy hallowe'en. Today I learnt why Christian holidays coincide with Pagan ones. It was very interesting. Decided against carving pumpkins this year. Last year boyfriend and I carved one each, his with the mogwai Young Team logo on it, mine, with a cat sitting on the moon. Very apt. Then some kids came pestering at the door. This year, I don't think pumpkins would be safe. Not in my area. AUCTIONS I noticed that the auction has started. So far, there's a �65 bid for Stuart Murdoch to help folk write music and things. Blimey. I don't think I would personally bid for that. Cos I can make much better music without Stuart Murdoch's help, thankyou very much. I just need to find a way of communicating it to my talentless guitar. Then, you can all join my fan club. Might bid though for Gregory Pothier and his art painting thing. As far as I know, hes a very talented chap. My opinion? well, hes a hot tip. Not a bad painter either. ;-) Then I could give it to my gran. (She loves everything I do. The sun? its dull in comparrison to my bottom.) She really needs to replace that picture I drew when I was eleven of her dog being zapped into outerspace. I don't know what I would have offered. I thought about it, briefly, but the only talent I have is my boyfriend, and I'm not about to pimp him. I thought about pimping.. sorry, AUCTIONING.. my dream interpreting "skills". But I do that for just about anyone who asks what it means to find themselves riding up a mountainside on a white horse chasing a cat away, to the sound of untuned music, and in the middle of rain. I also considered being a shopping partner, carrying peoples bags and things. But that would involve patience. I don't have a talent. I have many. I'm waiting for my student loan to come through. Considering blowing it on hiring the services of another B+S fan for a day/whatever. But I don't think my parents would be too chuffed. I owe them my rent for my accomodation.. hmm.. parents.. auction, parents...auction... where to put the money.... Maybe I'll just go shopping instead and think about it in H+M. Student loan is totally pants this year. Wheres my money??! They're giving me a smaller slice of what I deserve. I don't understand how I am supposed to survive. Also, I definately would have bid for anyone offering to pamper me from a scalp massage to painting my toe nails for an evening. Scalp massages aren't as good when you have to do it yourself. I get sore arms. SHEEP fluffy white things that go Baa. Just a little fact for you, from the University of Easy Access (UEA for short) Back in Viking times, towards the end of Paganism, when runes were still in use, the Icelandic folk used to write on sheepskin. Could ythis be the origins of designer labelling? Sheep have a lot to answer for. Anyway, I shall leave it at that for now.

I wish I had more interesting things to say, like some of our more prolific posters. But, alas, I don't. Anyway, the point of this post is that in this month's Select magazine there is a nice article on Isobelle, and there is also a 'Top Ten' of 'Potential New Belle & Sebastian Song Title', which includes "Give Me Your Dentures, Vicar, I'm Sick Of Sucking On Biscuits", and "It's Not The Cough That Carries You Off, It's The Coffin They Carry You Off In". Tee, and indeed, hee. And it gives The Gentle Waves' album 3 blobs out of 5. But I can't comment on that because I haven't heard the record. I went to see BDB last night. I reckon that boy needs a good editor - he was on stage for two and half hours and played about an hour of good stuff. The rest was wank. Funny wank at times, but mostly just wanky wank. Anyway, enough of this nonsense. love Sam.x ========================================================== "Man, you wouldn't believe how much I cried When they took that little fella back into the sky I pleaded with my mum for it not to be true And she promised me they'd make an E.T.2" _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
