From filmout99 at xxx.com Thu Mar 1 06:58:44 2001 From: filmout99 at xxx.com (scott mannion) Date: Thu, 01 Mar 2001 06:58:44 -0000 Subject: Sinister: Hey!...what about my earthquake? Message-ID: Ummmm...its 4:40am...25 minutes ago I was having the best sleep in ages ...until I was awoken. At first I was confused, the culprit was some loud inhuman racket. In fact, it was almost shaking the walls! It's certainly vibrating them. I almost convinced myself it was a pipe or something about to burst in the wall. As I slowly came to my senses I realised that it sounded like someone snoring at an incredible decibel level, but who? My flatmates girlfriend has had an awful cold over the last few days so at first I thought it was her, but it wasn't coming from their room. Hm. I then stumbled out of bed and opened the hatch to my bedroom. WHOAH!!!!!! I was almost thrown back by the sheer amplitude (well...almost). I then realised that some fellow has crashed out on our couch. For a while I just sat at the side of the hatch listening in amazement. Then I suddenly felt thirsty so I came downstairs to get a drink, kinda hoping me climbing down my ladder would arouse this person. No such luck I'm afraid. So I stood there with my drink...watching this guy across the room (I can't really see him cause there's not enough light)...in complete and utter awe. It's kind of interesting and grinding at the same time. It's bringing all these different thoughts into my head like...Do I snore? And, if so, would I snore loud enough to be such a spectacle. Would people dare tell me? God! So now I've managed to turn the computer on to give you a report on this bizarre spectacle *or do I mean 'aural experience'*. He's across the room from me right now, and I can honestly say (if somewhat guiltily), that this guys snoring is almost like shouting! And that ISN'T an exaggeration. I wonder...if I put on some Belle and Sebastian it might just soothe his slumber and cure his snoring. It's worth a shot. Look...don't get me wrong...I have nothing against snorers...and if you happen to snore I'm sure it only makes you more attractive *hehe*. It's is just that this is really something special in the snoring department. Hm. Now I'm getting Karma fears...that fate will twist its cruel hand and now curse me with this infliction for sharing my morbid curiosity with you. Or perhaps, that somebody will write down their own observations of some annoying part of my person...of which I am entirely unaware. Ok!! Now I'm scared...I will have to end this report before I get hit by Instant Karma. Perhaps I'll go sleep in the car. anyway...if he's here again tomorrow night I'm going to HAVE to record him and add it to a song :) sweet dreams all, xo Scott.

Hangovers and earthquakes don't mix together too well. Anyways i suppose i am a real baby since i was all the way up here in victoria bc, not even very near the epicentre at seattle or near there but it was pretty crazy nonetheless. as to my night... well all i can say is: DON'T BORROW ID!!!!! Or, if you do, don't get caught. It was tuesday night and i know that it is truly sad when you go clubbing on a tuesday night, but it was one of those days when the dorms are just too much to take and we thought a night on the town would be nice... well, and it would've been if the bloody cops weren't hanging out at Legends... so we got a nice lecture and almost a ticket but one of the cops was a guy and sadie and i both were decked out in full bar regalia, and low-necked tank tops do have advantages... at times... have i skirted the edges of the body-parts page? i think so... so then we went home rather drunk and quite angry and hyper so we stole some signs along the way for sarah's collection. sadie was especially annoyed because while she was waiting on the corner to see if i got in, some outreach workers came by and asked if she needed help - she was like "Excuse me?" and they explained that they give condoms to prostitutes and that sort of thing... that was the 2snd time she's been mistaken for one so she was somewhat insulted. B&S content: i had some - i honestly did - oh, what was it??? oh!!!!! i had a dream, i was at a gig and they were playing. they played one of the new songs and it was quite good but very different from the usual stuff. then isobel did one and i wasn't overly impressed... (nor am i in real life to begin with but this was just dreadful.) and then they left to give the stage to someone else and i was bitterly disappointed. and then i was running about and i found a lovely poster of them and took it for my room which was a naughty thing to do but hey, it was a dream. and then i woke up. not too terribly interesting matter; i apologize. well, it is the witching hour now and time for me to go and do my long-put-off homework... a monologue for acting where i am lizzie borden and i explain why it isn't so terribly bad that my parents are dead. it must be memorized for 14 hours from now. ah.. i've got all the time in the world... goodnight. love, rachel "ONE: You act your age TWO: You don't try to be something you're not THREE: You find out in advance what restaurant your mom and dad are going to and go someplace else" - Screeching Weasel -- _______________________________________________ Get your free email from http://www.graffiti.net Powered by Outblaze +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: Reported today on the Glasgow University website: "Greg Hemphill is new Rector TV comedian Greg Hemphill has been elected the 118th Rector of the University of Glasgow in a four-sided contest in which 2,204 students voted. The vote was as follows: Candidate:1st count: 2nd count: result KAREN DUNBAR: 135 : - : - ALASDAIR GRAY : 805 : 837 : 1026 GREG HEMPHILL : 938 : 1008 : 1127 STUART MURDOCH :323 : 347 : - Voting was by the Single Transferable Vote conducted by successive rounds of counting. After each count the candidate with the lowest vote drops out and their votes are distributed by second and subsequent preferences until one candidate is the overall winner. Some voters do not express the full number of preferences. There were 3 spoilt papers. All twenty thousand matriculated students were entitled to vote. The turnout was 11% The new Rector will be installed at a ceremony in the Spring at a date to be arranged by the SRC. He holds office with immediate effect for 3 years." Greg-effin-Hemphill, talk about lowest common denominator politics. Poor Alasdair. That's ruined my day. *Wistfully* Greg-effin-Hemphill? It's a sad, sad day for student politics. "But the Rector is not a political position!" Aye, ah know. But Greg Hemphill, ah mean c'moan. Anyways, the rector may not be political but he is politicised, but that's another debate...

Does he have a gigteleport? I wish i did, it could be rather handy, although a bar teleport would be even handier. In this case however I merely walked down the side of the venue past the studeys sitting on the floor, knowing that there would be little, if any, moshing at a strap gig. As i have always suspected, drunkenness can only add to the enjoyment of the strap, of the four strap virgins we took with us, the only one who enjoyed it was the one who could hardly walk before she got there... Moore snr listed the Captain Peacock dates, which i've unfortunately deleted, but Oxford is THE FIRST of them, so all you early adopters should come along. My mate Pete's organising it and he's meant to be sending me some stuff (press release etc) about it which i'll forward if it's any cop. I just hope peacock realises he can't be effing and jeffing in Borders, right next to the kiddy books.

I wish I had been there when the B&S gig was on. But hey, if they are playing soon again I'll try and go since I'm back in Dublin. It's snowy and cold here. I was stuck in the mountains at my boyfriends house for two days. We had snow up to our knees and had a snowfight. :) To keep ourselves warm we lit a fire with logs that were in the garden. Now I'm back in the city and it's colder than it is in Iceland. I have a friend who lives in Edinburgh. Her name is Liv Anna and is half English and half Icelandic. She needs a ticket to go to All Tomorrow's Parties. Does anyone here have an extra ticket to fill a chalet? If so you can e-mail her at: livanna99 at hotmail.com or reply to me at: giita at hotmail.com Thank you very much!

Message-ID: It�s a strange thing to find oneself addicted. I�ve been addicted many times before to many different things (well, maybe not to so many things� unless you count people), but only once before to a band. Now that I�m back in the land of the musically obsessed, I remember how much I loved mentally mixing the songs by the band of my favor (really makes no different who it was�a different music, a different life) to create a seamless soundtrack to my daily doings. My name is Jeffrey� and this is my first post. I first heard the band we all love on a jukebox in a bar that doesn�t exist anymore in San Francisco. I had read a review of Boy with the Arab Strap in Rolling Stone and decided to have a go at it when I was choosing my pinball-playing music� I remember enjoying the song I played a great deal. I think I might have chosen Brilliant Career, though it could as well have been Is It Wicked� I was distracted because I was excited about the girl I was dating and was telling my friends all about her. After I left the bar, I didn�t really go back to the band for almost two years� Then came Napster. I know that opinions amongst this community range across the spectrum, so please do not take the previous sentence as any sort of incitement to launch into another drag-out on the merits and evils of Napster. I merely mean that when I remembered the band�s name (likely after watching High Fidelity for the umpteenth time), I was able to take their music for a test drive. That was in November, before Thanksgiving. That was when I started to fall for them in a meaningful way. The song was My Wandering Days Are Over, which I had picked off the list simply because it sounded like it would match my mood of late, which is to say gently happy and slightly melancholy at the same time�I believe �winsome� might be appropriate. As I contemplated the inevitable arrival of my mid-late-20s (currently I am only in my mid-mid-20s), the song seemed to invigorate and comfort me at the same time; I could wrap myself in it and still have room to dance. But even more than that, I felt like I had finally found a band that wasn�t afraid to sound� pretty. I bought Tigermilk the day after Thanksgiving�But it was a bit before dawn on New Year�s Day, standing alone on the fire escape, headphones on, smoking a cigarette to warm myself from the inside that I recognized that what I was feeling for the music pumping into my head was nothing short of love. And a love for the music almost by matter of logic (I say almost, as I am sure that some of you would deign to challenge my logic�have at it, you�ll get no rejoinder from me) implies a love of the band. No, I don�t love all songs equally� but I can forgive the deficient ones. Even laugh at them. There�s a whole album to listen to� I don�t know why I would possibly expect any of you to care about any of this, other than I expect�if my wordsmithing in this effort was halfway successful to keep you interested�that some of you can relate to my experience. Since I don�t foresee a west coast concert engagement anytime soon (though I have pledged to fly anywhere in these United States to see them should they be so kind as to even step foot inside them), I guess I am hoping that some of you might say hello and introduce yourselves to me� you see, I�m rather shy. And perhaps even a tad lonely� And if any of you happen to live in San Francisco� well, by all means please say hello. Thanks for reading this far� and I suppose I�ll see you on the playground. jeffrey

As I read it I felt a strange tingling sensation in my tummy, then began to turn a very bright shade of green. Literally! The people sitting near my desk were very worried and wanted to call an ambulance, but I managed to convince them that this was not the sort of malady that needs hospitalisation, so they sent me to the sick room where I munched on ginger nuts (dunked in Earl Grey) and dossed for a couple of hours. So... DID YOU TAKE A MINIDISC TO THE GIG? C'mon, somebody must have captured that Stones moment for posterity. And what about the new songs? Nick needs to make a start on transcibing the lyrics, you know. Who did the whoo-whoos in Sympathy... by the way? And did Isobel have a big pair of maracas? I had a weird dream last night. I went to a seventies rock festival with David Moore, who lent me a load of seventies clothes for the occasion: denim flares, a crocheted waistcoat and a nice tan leather belt with tasselly bits on. I was sitting on the grass, soaking up the sunshine when I noticed Liam Gallagher was nearby and he was giving me the eye and then the seventies rock guitarist on the stage winked at me. Then my alarm went off, which is a shame because I'd love to know what was going to happen next (or maybe not, if it involved Mr Gallagher). However, upon awakening, I could still hear the seventies rock song the band on the stage had been performing - it included the line "sit on the DJ". Anybody got a dream dictionary? *Little bit of content* I don't think anybody has mentioned this yet and I keep on forgetting to. A couple of weeks ago I had a read of Little Ink Movies and I realised that one of the famous people they nearly (but not quite) got to meet in New York is Hal Hartley. I love Kindercore and Elephant 6 bands. They make me go all grinny. Juicy Lucy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!

Message-ID: I'm back with the intention of garnishing another post to Sinister with little tit-bits of information that I left out of yesterday's review. I'll structure this e-mail around Lucy's e-mail from earlier today. Lucy said: >>DID YOU TAKE A MINIDISC TO THE GIG? I didn't I'm afraid nor did anybody that I know who went to the gig. It was apparently a no cameras or recording equipment affair. Hmm. *Furrows brow*. >>And what about the new songs? Big John Shaft & Take Your Carriage Clock and Shove It. Hmm, I've said all I really want to about them in my previous mail. However, I do know/remember the lyrics to Big John Shaft and will try to have them up for the list by next week, if by consensus the list approves. >>Who did the whoo-whoos in Sympathy... by the way? That Messr Jackson. He got really into it; doing the whole flailing arms routine and compulsory Mick woo-hoos. His guitar playing reached new heights; and, I contend that he should be inducted into the highest echelon of guitarists. Well, err, mebbe. >>And did Isobel have a big pair of maracas? Not that I'm aware of, but... During the intro to The Wrong Girl (where the kind of bell-y sound rings through the guitar driven lead music) she rattled a metal baton off of the metal leg on Geddes' Wurlitzer. Some effect, I'll tell you. :) I got talking to the band after the show. I don't know what the list thinks of asking for autographs but I'm a big child and thus felt compelled to do so. I got all of their autographs apart from the two wymmins'. Damn. Anyways, what they had to say: Stuart: Will the '...Middle Distance Runner' ever be released? Oh aye, definitely. Look out for it, it'll be out soon. Maybe as a b-side to the new singles. He had a big smile at this point so as to say 'Aww, your going to be so happy'. I'm sure the glint in his eye was a knowing look in deference to the fact that it is scheduled for a spring release as a b-side. But nothing's definite. However, he did say it's been about for a while now and it's about time they got it out. Oooh, Stu-art... Stevie: Can I have your autograph, please? *Coy* Eh, aye, sure. *Signs it* *Walking away* Y'know, nobody ever asks me that. My heart nearly broke there on the spot. His eyes lowered, saddened, the blinks echoing the murmured beat of a broken heart. Awww. Chris: I've met you quite a few times, what's your name? David. Here, have I no' signed things for you in the past. *Talking to girl beside him who hands him a phone number. Looks at it. Laughs.* Ha, 1690? Ah'm no phoning that. (I teehee). Richie: Err, aye, sure. Mick: really quiet didn't say much. But well, err, there you go. Make of that what you will.

Message-ID: Why is my heart so heavy, lumpen and wrought with a keen sense of mis-direction? It's heaving through the emotions today, limping from beat to beat. The responsive and constructive comments from Sinisterines are the only things which have allowed a smile to creep wearily onto my lips today. This e-mail may get pretty self-indulgent; but, I thought I lay myself open to the floor. The way I REALLY feel, right now. Put the B&S madness to one side for right now, and let me exhaust my tired vocabulary. I think it's my course, or the people on my course, or the University, or people at the University. A feeling of perpetual disillusionment (sic) and disgust at my peers pervades my outlook (unhealthily I may add) at all times. I feel more comfortable drifting between pixels, placing words in dysfunctional positions and coaxing awkward rhymes into place than I do discoursing with the world. This may sound thoroughly pretentious; "I Guess I Just Wasn't Made For These Times". That's the way I used to think. Ha. However, I feel I should introduce the caveat: I don't think I'm better (not at all) merely different. But 'different', ah mean, c'moan Howie. Calling yrsel' 'different' is just as pretentious as making the sweeping assertion that you're better. Well, a tentative yes to that question is smashed by an affirmative no. Calling yourself different is not pretentious; it's tantamount to saying "I breathe air". It's a statement of fact; intrinsic in our nature, we are different. (I know this is a spurious argument; but it defeats the claim that calling yourself different is pretentious). I don't want to veer into pseudo-philosophy, I'm merely stating the way I feel. I don't know why: maybe in attempt to get people to like me. Destined to fail in such a humble ambition: the crux of the matter is that all I want is to be liked. Sad? Yeh, I am. I came to University with open eyes slightly jaded but forgiving to sunlight. However, I look around. I see no-one. I don't even see myself. The University is diseased by a Culture of Averageness (woah there, says the arrogance-o-meter) which pervades throughout spoiling the 'good apples'. Note to reader: Howie is not claiming to be a 'good apple'. I know how much this movement of thought, lately manifest in my misguided (misplaced?) misanthropy, pains my girlfriend. I love her; but, I'm at odds with myself. Irreconcilabe differences with myself; inability to achieve the completeness of form and style that I yearn for irks and sits uncomfortably, resulting in me thinking that I'm a rubbish person and boyfriend. And that my girlfriend doesn't deserve to be with me: 'cos she's such a good person. (And she's going through a lot of shit right now with her flatmates - but, my selfishness and manipulation are contributing to her discomfort.) I can see I'm doing it - yet, she refuses; but, I can see it. Stop it then. Just stop being silly. Stop making arguments from nothing. BUt it's like that Delgados line we make "complications, just to feel all right". But y'see. I don't feel all right. I feel like shit. Always. I don't like it. I've regressed to when I was 13. I can see you sitting there and your thinking "What am I meant to say to this. I'm not really sure what he's saying." I guess I'm essentially saying that my heart hurts but I don't know how to fix it. The only words of solace I have are some lyrics I wrote last year, for my girlfriend: "In my head, I'm kissing you all ways, While in my heart, I'm missing you always." Reverberating. A sullen line. And I'm sorry. Sorry for wasting your time. Absolutely no content. Sorry for everything. Sorry Honey. Sorry. Sorry, David. PS I didn't mean to 'go off on one' I just did. Tell me if you mind; and, I won't do it again. Thank you. PPS Thank you, Jason A.

How strange, as I ALSO had a dream about David Moore last night. I went to Mr. Moore's house where he was kind enough to feed me lots of good food, but for some reason there was lots of stairs in the house, certain ones were designated for going up and certain ones for going down. I was wandering around, and I almost picked the wrong one, I tried to go down an UP. But David shouted out just in time and everything was ok. I love how David Howie writes like it sounds, it makes me hear Stuart David saying them, in a quiet little voice. And I don't think the asking for autographs is silly, I've done much sillier things, like ask for hugs. ah mean c'moan! I can't believe they actually played live. Sometimes I think Struan is a figment of my rampant imagination. First they were in New York, and then wasn't Struan furious about the rumours? I am confused...are there little Alien-Baby Belle & Sebastian clones running all over? Greg Hemphill? Who is this? I didn't think anyone stood a chance against Stuart and his empathy and his sweet little smile. The Canadian winds are calling your name, come be Rector over here, little one! I am anxious that I won't have any 'proper friends' when I go to university, but you could be one. We could even do laundry together at Suds n Duds.

Please take as read the standard apology for the fact that what I am about to say may not be interesting etc. I live in Berkeley, California, with my wife & 2-yr-old daughter & pug & 3-legged chihuahua-with-twee-sweater (truck/lorry, vet bills, amputation, knitting). I recently escaped from an unbelievably dull job writing computer manuals for a Sonoma County insurance company (cubicle, bottlenecks in review process, evil director of Compliance department). Note this offhand parenthesis-summary technique copied from the novel "Lolita". Now I need to get another job I guess. Never work for an insurance company -- if in doubt, see all of Kafka. More information about me: I once worked as a lollypop man, I find the new Radiohead album more catchy than the previous ones (List rules say I now have to explain why, but I can't really), I once spent a winter in Tullibody Clacks., last month I made my first ever purchase through eBay =3D a dbx 160 compressor/limiter, a cool thingummy. This afternoon I am worrying about the possibility that music is inherently more subjective than literature i.e. that what songs you like depends more on what music you happened to get into when you were growing up than what books you like depends on what you liked to read when you were growing up. Does anybody else think this? Or even follow my convoluted grammar/thought process? Maybe growing up in the first place was the mistake. Here is a Weimar film summary (excerpted from somewhere: Alraune (aka Unholy Love) Germany 1928, B/W, ca. 97 min. - This silent film is the best of the three versions of this film based on Hanns Heinz Ewer's popular novel about Alraune (Brigitte Helm, Metropolis), the offspring of a prostitute artificially inseminated by a mad doctor (Paul Wegener) with the semen of a hanged man. This Alraune has Brigitte Helm as a somnambulant vamp with seductive powers on her father, the scientist who created her. The film is suffused with a sense of enchanting perverse sexuality as she ruins all who are in love with her. Variety: Helm's appeal is rather to the morbid and unhealthy. She is eerie and at times almost unnatural. > And another, "The Hands of Orlac", 1925, Russian titles, Poor quality, this extremely rare film stars Veidt as Paul Orlac, a concertmaster of the grand piano. after his hands are crushed in a train accident, a surgeon repairs them. but there is some question as to whose hands they really are! A mysterious stranger claims that they once belonged to someone else. Hope I have not broken too many list rules yet, so will go read "Dr. Seuss's ABC" to my daughter for the 9,000,000th time "Big F, little F, what begins with F? Four fluffy feathers on a Fiffer-feffer-feff." Don't know about Shakespeare or Fraud W. Crook, but the worthy doctor was clearly in no risk of running short of cocaine. I am listening to Johnny Dowd's "Pictures from Life's Other Side", an album which I like so far as it has the songs-around-the-campfire-at-a-drunken-underwater-fairground feel that I am never able to resist (maybe my limbic brain just evolved that way at an earlier stage in my development, see theory above).

Then there is the Magnetic Fields and their Busby Berkly dreams. Anyway, I just want this entire mess sorted out. James also made a Nabokov reference which is just super. I think Nabokov is the greatest gift the Russians ever gave us. Hmm, B&S content....Today I went out and bought a cd walkman (my previous one was stolen when my cousin's car was broken into) and walked around in the rain listening to Tigermilk. Everything takes on a new meaning when the sounds of life are mixed in with a good cd. B&S are my favorite band to listen to while walking around in the rain.

Through my bookish connections I obtained a copy of The Peacock Manifesto last night and read it all in one go. It's about 150 pages and very easy to read (took me about an hour and a half). For the record there are 6 Fs a S and a C on page one (further analysis to follow, maybe), but the swearyness isn't as extreme as I thought it was going to be, especially following the peacock's mail that Miss Print forwarded the other day. You'd certainly have to be the Queen Mother or someone to be offended by it. It's quite a simple little road story about two ne'erdowells trying to get a record made. I must say that although i enjoyed it, it doesn't have the poetic, lyrical feel that I liked so much in nalda said. I suppose Irving Welsh would be the obvious comparison, but there's not really the darker shit and misery side that you get with Welsh, it's more of a caper, with lots of Scottish person abroad-type humour. This also means that I've managed to read both of Stuart's books without paying for either of them (although i'll prolly buy one so he'll sign it when he does the instore) Um, that's about it i guess okey cokey karaoke :) xoxo CarsmileSteve +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Once again we are the minority(not a reference to that horrid Green Day song). Not that I live in Glasgow or anything, but I do feel a sense of community amongst the fans. Boy that sounded stupid eh? I do feel sorry for you Glasgow Uni students. So is the comedian considered hip or whatnot over there? I mean, he did get nominated in the first place. Oh, and don't worry...I always ask for autographs. Well, I've been consuming unhealthy amounts of Jolly Ranchers candy as of late. See,I've had papers to write/projects, etc etc. Thus I've slept like a night watchman. Coffee doesn't help either, it has no effect on me. Candy seems to work. I guess it's the sugar rush or whatever it's called. Although I think I'm becoming immune to the jolly ranchers. Maybe I should switch to Chupa Chups or something. Speaking of junk food, the little pringles guy is now singing Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "I put a spell on you." Kinda creepy, coming from a potato chip carton. This week a college radio station did a one hour retrospective on Belle and Sebastian. In the first minute he already said "they got their name from a 1960's television show about a boy and his dog." *sigh* Well, at least he got the boy and dog part right. Then later he said Isobel sang "Waiting for the Moon to rise." It wasn't until after the song when someone corrected him. But he still made it sound like they were the ones who were wrong: "So SARAH sings..." I saw the preview for that Harry Potter film yesterday. My eyes widened and I began to laugh. I pointed at the TV and said "It's wee chris!!" The kid looks alarmingly like Chris Geddes, I must say. Last night I was listening to "Cherry Chapstick" by Yo La Tengo, and I keep thinking it sounds like another song..but couldn't think which one. It keeps bothering me... Oh I finally heard Paradise Motel...really really great! I felt as if in a dream when listening..it's so ethereal. Speaking of dreams..have we all been having B&S dreams lately? Last week I dreamt I lived in some odd basement apartment in some haunting living community (reminded me of the campus in "gattaca")in the 60's. Anyway, Stuart and Isobel were there (along with a comedian from Saturday Night Live, Jerry Minor). Well Stuart went outside the apt. door because there was a lost child, so he went to go help it find its mother. Isobel stayed in and sat at my dining room table, which had nice christmas lights hanging over it. I made some spaghetti for her, which she wouldn't eat. She looked as if she didn't want to be there. So I served the food, and changed the cd in the stereo(I forgot what was playing) and put in "The Girl from Ipanema." She said "Oh this I like" but still stared at her plate. Later Stuart came back in, but had to leave again to walk with some other child, and some woman with long black hair who was very pretty. That's about all I can remember. Oh, and Jerry would not eat his spaghetti either. xx Michelle mmmitten "Bonheur n'est pas gai" -Vivre sa Vie __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I had, in order, 4/5ths of a bottles of wine, 2/5ths of a bottle of vodka (in vodka jelly), at least three pints and probably a lot more besides. I went to an open mike poetry/music thing, which was really good, some girl actually made 'Rocky Racoon' sound really good and played two other songs brilliantly (can't remember what they were off hand) and they was some pretty good comedy poetry too. I read out... why the hell didn't my friend stop me? I read 'Visiting Rachael in Leicester' (posted before), 'After the Funeral' and 'Funeral' (both included below), I managed to get a laugh when I read out the title 'Funeral', understandably I guess (I was planning to read others between the two but in my drunken state I couldn't tell that a few of the poems were pressed together and thought I'd forgotten them). I managed to miss several sections out of the poems and had to repeat other sections. I also got stuck on the word 'disrespectful' for at least 5 tries and finally managed to say 'difrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrispfctfel', much to everyones amusement... and mine, I was too drunk to be embarressed. When I got back apparently (I have not recollection of this) I debated long and hard (no pun intended) over which of the three single girls in the room I was going to have sex with. No-one really knows whether I was joking, though I hope to God I was. I feel like the boy with the arab strap now, drawling out poetry to music and making lots of sexual comments. Poems... you may wish to skip this bit. -------------beginning of skipable bit--------------------- "After the Funeral (of Cathleen Harper) I watched the fireplace like a puppet, Its reflection tripping on some new porcelain surround On some middle class image, middle ground picture, Of a rose in a jar, like an image of life On somebody's sterilised perfection. I thought of you, I thought that Cathleen Should have been on my mind. The fire burnt out in a few minutes Of listening to music that sounded like your lyrics If you knew more about lyrics To make them sound like you. It was more of a death to loose that image of you Than everything that went before. The anaesthetised vicar, and all the holy clichés Most of which could never apply. A candle burned down too That looked like you, still sharp, The wax forming a rough edge around the rim, Like the part you don't let me see, Though you'd like me to see everything. And I loved you For keeping away tales of the new stereo, And later the half masked sounds of MTV, As my Auntie and Uncle tilted the discussion Away from the uncomfortable. But it could have been for anything. For Sabrina Tulk" "Funeral I watched as my mother approached That box, I hung back, thought death Might be catching. That thing wasn't in the box, It was in the meaninglessness that hangs around her house, The posters that don't mean anything, like they were used to Being on that blank wall, without looking blank themselves. I felt like your voyeur, an invited, Unwelcome spectator on their grief. I wasn't needed, I was helpful but false. Everyone else laughed to hide, I laughed at anything I found amusing. There was no smell in the hearse, No hospital smell, no rotting. The driver looked the part, in a black suit Grey haired, he didn't talk. He wasn't important. And on the long journey back, our driver risking disrespectful speeds Past lorry drivers and old ladies, I just thought of dividing the newly liberated House. Who would get what, where the (her) money Would wash out. I felt ashamed, though perhaps not guilty." --------------------end of skipable bit-------------------------------- I've also found a great band at my Uni, they are called 'Fear of Drugs', I'm putting them on a mix tape for a sinister'. I'll put them up as mp3s soon and post the link here. They wrote a song called 'Tony Hart Up in the Head' which samples all the accidental cannibis referances in 'Hart Beat' such as 'Look at all the green in those leaves... I think I get another' and 'That's mine finished, lets see how they're getting along with theirs'. Very amusing to hear from the lips of Tony Hart. For those of you who are not British/have no taste, Hart Beat was a childrens art program that ran a few years ago and Tony Heat is very much the sweet natured, befuddled old man. Oh, and I just looked at the sillistrations page, it's great and I pictured Miss Playforth looking exactly like that, I am waiting for a sillistration of myself in the likeness on the Arab Strap guy... I don't think it'll happen. "...and of course everyone felt appropriately shocked and saddened by the women's affliction..."

Any knowledge would be appreciated. Also has anyone got the new "Low" album "things we lost in the fire" on Vinyl, totally knackered my needle when tried to play the last side of the second disc. There are no grooves (hence no tracks) instead the song lyrics have been scratched (printed) into the vinyl - how cool is that? Well cool enough until you realise that you were fooled into buying a double album and only got three quarters of it.

"Hey that's a salad roll" I said, and we started going out. Message-ID: <03754DDCC645D311AA6700805F854E430277548F@lotus.ntu.ac.uk> Well folks, we've been conned. You see, when I heard about the Glasgow gig, I sent my spies to work (I bet you didn't know I had a secret ring of spies working for me, did you? Come to think of it, neither did I until I wrote this, but never mind). It turns out that it wasn't the actual band onstage, they're still holed up in New York working on their secret project. You see, their secret project involves human cloning. It turns out that B&S has just been a front all these years to raise money for Wee Chris' sinister scheme. They first attempted to clone Stuart David, who was so disgusted that he quit the band. Unfortunately, it all went horribly wrong, and produced the bundle of filth which we all know as Peacock Johnston. But they persevered, and have now finished their first attempt at a completely cloned band; it was these who were being tested at Glasgow Uni the other day. It sounds like they've got them pretty lifelike, but the tell-tale signs are there if you know where to look: Stuart M being reported as 'rocking out'; the band making it through the entire gig without any instruments breaking; and the final dead give-away, the so-called band claiming that they're going to release Loneliness of the Middle Distance Runner, when we all know that it has been confirmed for a release date of five days after the apocalypse. Unfortunately, their scheme is doomed to failure, because Radiohead have been cloning bands to look and sound exactly like themselves for years. Meanwhile, Lucy asked: > And did Isobel have a big pair of maracas? and we all look forward to seeing a picture of Isobel's maracas on the bodyparts page. TV Comedian Greg Hemphill. I'm sorry, but WHO????? What the hell TV programs has he been on??????? Don't worry Stuart, you can be rector of this university, we'll create the post especially for you... Every time we hear from them, I picture in my mind the Sillustrators locked in a smoky basement, slaving over their drawings, with the only light coming from a candle each and a small window near the ceiling, and all they can see out of it is a wood with foxes roaming around it, while Princess Honey stands over them in her black leather catsuit whipping them if they're not trying hard enough. We also look forward to a picture of Princess Honey in a black leather catsuit on the bodyparts page.

How are you all? I haven't written for a while. Most of you probably didn't notice, which means that Joni Mitchell was lying all along. However, The Pinefox was heard to mutter; >Ally96Cook said: >>> Point taken. Was there a point? Is there still? If there was, rest assured it will be gone by the end of this post. Nevertheless... It snowed. Then it blowed. Now it's frozed. What I'm trying to say is that it's cold. Spring has yet to, er, spring. But at least my cockles were warmed by David Howie's beautiful attention to details. Details are important. Did someone once say that? I felt I could almost have been seeing the band myself. Perhaps I could have been. I was in the city at the time (I usually am) but am ashamed to admit that I didn't even know the gig was going on. I was too distracted with dashing into coffee-shops (houses?) looking for Nu-Yoikers. Which Nu-Yoikers? ANY Nu-Yoikers. It didn't happen. It rarely does. Someone should write a song about it. Maybe I should write a song about it. No, that would probably be a bad idea. It would never live up to expectations. It would never live up to Expectations. YOU'VE HAD A HARD DISK FOR ME FROM THE START Today, in a fit of anal-retentiveness worthy of SteadyMike (in a good way, of course), I had the notion to list all of my records in a database on my shiny pooter. After inputing 7 Go-Betweens records I got bored and started writing this (see how I shift my boredom onto you?), since I realised that it would probably take about as long as my other recent notion, namely to drink a pint in every single pub/bar/cafe in Glasgow. Ailsa (you remember? No? Oh well...) says we should do it for her hen night. I may well still get round to doing both. As Calumn Shearer once said whilst driving down a side-street with parked cars on either side at 60mph; "I like a challenge". We were in pursuit of a bus. It's a short story. SHE DROVE ME DOWN....TAXI TO WOKING....THEY DON'T COME WITH NAMES ON I thought my luck was in this year, after receiving my first Valentines card in 22 trips around the sun and then getting in to the last Strange Fruit (officially the biggest club upstairs at the Garage has ever had etc) without having to queue in the rain. These may be small things to you, but remember what I said before about details? However, I then find out that when I'm in London next week, Robert Forster is playing a solo gig here in sunny Glasgow. Luckily much of his solo stuff isn't great, but just to see the man again...has-been old hat indeed... However, I will be going to Strange Fruit (officially blah blah etc) again to see The Lollies and some unknown band who Stuart Murdoch is apparently working with called Camera Obscura. Saturday 10th. Upstairs at the Garage. London. You heard about it here last. Oh, and if they ever get round to making a video, I'll be the one with my head up Carey Lander's arse. I may charge a nominal fee to anyone who wishes to stand in for me. I saw a van the other day with 'Struan Rental' on the side; but don't get too excited girls, you can't (as of yet) rent out your favourite pixie-faced musical supremo for a spot of the other. It was just a car/van/minibus hire service. To be honest, I was as disappointed as you are. Let's see what else has been happening while I've been away: IF I WAS A PINEAPPLE YOU'D BE A MANGO Ms Elise mused: >i suppose a nice sensitive boy is what i want... To which Pinefox replied: >Oh! There must be some kids out there on >sinister now for you. But Pinefox, surely YOU are a sensitive boy? Aren't you? Janitoria: >No one writes songs or books about people who have hurried sex at carwashes. You've obviously never heard of the work of Mr Jamie Holman. Get thee to a record shop. Vilkas: >I know two things about the Go-Betweens other than 'You should >hear them, you'd love'em' is on Molly Ringwald's notebook in sixteen > >candles. >Her character had it written big across her notebook. Is this for real? I only have a vague memory of the celluloid in question. Molly Ringwald and The G-Bs seem at once almost the most unlikely and most perfect partnership. Or do they? Maybe I should pay more attention to this stuff. Rachel: >the go-betweens. if i had to justify my love, it wouldn't be love You See? Also: "How can we explain the things we love?" - Dawson Leary, Dawson's Creek, tonight. Christiaan: >I like Ree because she has a HOT ASS Don't say it too loud, or everyone will want one. They already do? Oh. CATCH HER ON THE FLY There was an article today in the Glasgow Herald about Greg Hemphill, the new Glasgow uni rector, with a picture of him and his wife. Strangely, her name is Julie and she bears a suspicious resemblance to her New York Sinister namesake. Collaborating with the enemy, eh? Didn't that used to be a hanging offence? No wonder they won't play DDR with you. *Cyberglam cries Heelan Coooo *Cyberglam giggles Anyway, Genevieve may take some consolation in the fact that he's sort of Canadian (Born here, moved there when he was 3, moved back here at 18) and that he says "I'm prepared for [the hard work]. I wouldn't have taken it on if I didn't intend doing it properly". Still, I do worry about the state we're getting to a man who makes his money by repeating the phrase "Gonnae no dae that" over and over is held in higher regard than the writer of probably the greatest ever Scottish novel. Oh, and some poxy pop star. But that's just my view, disregard at your leisure. I am glad I didn't have to look at a photo of Karen Dunbar's nostrils today instead, though. Carsmile Steve mentioned a band I should go and see in Glasgow, but I've only just read his post. Perhaps if I go along tonight they'll still be there. Did you tell them I'd be coming? Can you believe I added in these words myself? I don't play golf. Goodbye.

These things she gives me. Message-ID: <002501c0a367$7f6d4380$c06137d2@computer> Hello list, Sorry in advance is this is a little incoherent and ranty. I'm feeling funny (for reasons which may become apparent) and don't really have any way of getting a lot of this stuff off my chest (for other reasons which may also become apparent) But firstly, good news re: ***BELLE AND SEBASTIAN*** If David H's little story is true (and I have no reason to doubt this, unless he is a compulsive liar or something) we will finally get an official release of what is (IMHO) the best (so far) B&S track ever written, "The Loneliness of a Middle Distance Runner". Which makes me happy. The other thing which made my ears prick up was Mick McMick's (I think) comment that Jeepster were paying for the recording of the film score B&S have been recording, which means there is a *reasonable* likelihood it may be released. I mean, they wouldn't hurl all that money away if they weren't expecting to gain something from it, right? I love film scores. Air's "The Virgin Suicides" was one of my albums of the year, and the news that old faves Suede (remember '93 anyone?) are also writing/recording a film score makes for exciting possibilities in 2001. And still on the B&S thing, what the hell ever happened to the book of sheet music, illustrated by Alaisdair Gray which was promised, like, at least 18 months ago? ***RECTOR*** I'm really surprised Stuart didn't win, or for that matter that he *didn't* win by so many votes. I really thought he'd be the obvious choice. Still, I remember when I was a student, and I thought when I got to uni it would be this land of cool, well read indie people who liked good music. And then discovered I was *still* an outcast, and that most of the students were into Dire Straits or Rage Against The Machine or something. I started uni in '93, and "Killing In The Name Of" was a big hit. Everytime you walked past the student pub you were almost assured of hearing "fuck you I won't do what you tell me" blaring from the balcony. Hideous stuff. And then this Christian band started covering it, changing the lyrics to "bless you I'll do what you tell me" which was very funny. This is the same band who used to cover Hot Chocolate's "Everyone's a Winner" and change the lyrics to "Everyone's a winner baby that's no lie making love to you is such a thrill when you're married" And who said Christian rock was crap? ***PEACOCK JOHNSON*** Had an abusive mail, and then a matey matey e-mail from the fine fellow. Am *extremely* sorry for the offence I caused him by stating he didn't exist. He most clearly does, and I am sorry for all the harm Stuart D has caused him. Hope he gets his comeuppance. And knowing Mr Johnson, I think he will. ***MY EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS*** ------------------skippable------------------------------- My grandfather is dying, and its really screwing me up. I am his only grandson, and my mum is his only child, and I feel really really horrible. I have a very small, (I guess you could say nuclear) family, and we're all very close, and I'm just not coping very well. I feel sick all the time, and can't work properly, and just find myself dwelling on it all the time. Vanessa (my girlfriend) is, however, going through crap stuff with her family, and is also really strung out, and I don't think either of us are being terribly supportive of each other, and the whole situation is horrible. Don't know what to do, and I just find myself callously wishing he'd just die, because he's miserable and suffering, and I hate how our whole family has to just live with the fact that we *know* he'll die soon, but just have to wait and wait. My poor grandmother, they've been married for 62 years. --------------readable again----------------------------------- Back to lighter stuff. ***POP*** Got the new Lucksmiths album, "Why That Doesn't Surprise Me", which is very good. For anyone who doesn't know who they are, they're an Australian folky-pop three piece who (I think) supported B&S on a European tour a few years ago. Anyway, the new album is great ... a lot more produced with horns, strings, melodica etc. Highly recommended, and available (cheaply) from http://www.candlerecords.com.au Was glad to see that Stuart Murdoch was getting back into Television and The Smiths, because they are two bands I've been rediscovering a lot lately. The Smiths have been my favourite band for nine years now, and every six months or so I go through a big revival. I also just got the Television live album "The Blow-Up", which is fantastic, especially for the 15 minute versions of "Little Johnny Jewel" and "Marquee Moon". I'm not normally into self-indulgent guitar playing, but Tom Verlaine is amazing. Would love to be in the UK at the moment. B&S live, and those two Hefner gigs last week. Man ... I love Hefner so much. They were one of those bands (like The Go-Betweens, The Smiths and B&S before them) who I fell in love with instantly, and had all the albums and most of the singles in a matter of months. Just got "Half a Life" 7", but can't listen to it because I don't have a record player. (sigh) ***SILLUSTRATIONS*** They are BRILLIANT! Thanks everyone. I will have to think of some lies I can tell on the list, so that I will be the subject of one. OH PLEASE CAN SOMEONE DO A SILLUSTRATION OF ME? (Man that's sad ..... I just love the idea of being immortalised in cartoon form.) Umm ... if you do, there is a picture of me on my site (URL below) Anyway, this is super long, so will go. Sorry for ranting, and take care everyone.

Or, rather, one very big Thank You. That�s for everybody who has e-mailed. It all counts; every word chisels a little inch of pain from its holding; a lyrical suture closing the exposed wounds. So, yeh, basically thanks. Thank you. Anyway, I suppose I should commence on my World Tour of Americana songs, which nestle comfortably in my upper echelons of Songs Which Evoke Extreme Emotion. Anyways: Jim White, �Christmas Day�. Taken from the album �No Such Place�. A breaking down motorcycle pulls up into the drive, the wrong-eyed Jesus troubadour sits on the backdoor porch. Stepping off the motorcycle, the bruised lover yields to the front door: no-ones in. Jim�s on the back-porch, picking his favourite notes in sequence: lilting acoustic guitar wanes under the bursting sun as it splits the clouds, sharing its heat with a V of swans. White launches into a love song, and is able to hit the feeling of love right on the head; Bang: Mallet. Simple Things adopts a jealous look. �The burden of love is the fuel of bad grammar. You stutter and stammer � what a bitch to convey the crux of the matter, when the words you must utter are hopelessly tangled in the memories and scars you show no one.� My heart�s slow-ache crescendos into consummate yearning. White recognises that, as is the case with most things in life, as regards Love �the devil�s in the detail�. Amen. Willard Grant Conspiracy, �The Beautiful Song�. Taken from the album �Everything�s Fine�. The Conspiracy are miserable buggers; finding solace in the little things in life. The minutiae of existence over-looked by the self-serving glamour of the famous and the general populace as a whole. Chasing the next dollar, no-one cares for the skewed beauty of the �rusted cars, the battle scars� a twisted fence, a swinging gate�� The overarching philosophy of this song is: Hey, slow down, smell the fuchsia. But they�re minging. Yeh, mebbe, but think about it. How much time has went into the simple fuchsia; yet you race past it, every morning, cleansed and suited. The deftness of the petals� etc. �It all looks beautiful to me.� Essentially, a paean to being alive; and, thus, exactly the kinda song I need right now. Brimful with mordant optimism (�An avalanche couldn�t keep me down.�) The Pernice Brothers � �Chicken Wire�. Taken from the album �Overcome by Happiness�. The guitars filter through the speakers cautiously, one chord, a second� One fret in front of the other, the protagonist fades away from our sight. Her fate compounded by the opening line: �With a drink in her hand, she will start her car and then seal herself for good in the garage. She�s never leaving.� The moribund spinster, locked away, beyond the listener�s reach in the garage; carbon monoxide, nitrous oxides and sulphur dioxide slowly asphyxiating her. Why is she there, �she�s come so far�. However, her path has not been exhausted, she�s left too many things undone. Her love, sour, now leaves her �thinking of another�. Bereft of her lover; she undoes all the work; the struggles won, dissipate and rest meaningless. And all the walls they fade to black. This gripping vignette of Love gone wrong expresses all that is required in order to get a grasp of how powerful Love may be. The meaning of some peoples� lives. Mogadon power-pop at its best. Ron Sexsmith � �Feel For You�. Taken from the album �Whereabouts�. The criminally ignored cherub of a mind, that provides us with these songs of wanderlust, supplies me with an epochal song: a running commentary on how I fell right now. I�m sorry, Kathryn. �How I hate to see you in this way� Is there nothing I can say, to cheer you up.� A letter to a lover torn apart by the other�s anguish, distress, heartache, and emotional displeasure. The emotion asserted by the verses, aching with regret and forlorn hope, is reversed by the reassuring, rhetorical chorus: �is it too late in the game, to change anything?� Today, I heard a boy argue that Marriage between gays should not be allowed. His argument sat on the predilection that marriage is the plinth upon which society rests, and the purpose of marriage is procreation. Thus, a marriage which is unable to contribute to the human race is somehow invalid by virtue of the parties non-fecundity. Songs like this make me believe; that marriage is not the fundamental building block of society but: Love. The Shazam � �Sparkleroom�. Taken from the album �Godspeed The Shazam�. Now, it has been a rather sombre affair up until now. However, a guaranteed heart-starter this gem of a track takes in the Beach Boys, the Beatles, the Byrds etc. You name all the great power-pop acts. Those who could carve four-part harmonies out of the ethos. Give them some more sunshine; blistered green leaves, tunnelling waves cascading over dopey surfers, picnics in Kelvingrove� This is a song to hum to. A straightforward love song. And thus harder to write about in awkward prose: treat your subjects in the way they treat you. Straightforward equates with straightforward. It�s just a dumb ol� pop song. That grabs you by the nipples and drags you into the blazing heat of the California sunshine. �Come on surfer [dudes] check out my world�� Please. Thanks, David. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: Hello, This evening I am quite tired. And cold. It is exactly the same temperature inside my house as it is outside. where it is snowing. brrr. I have had no money for quite a while now, so I thought I should show at least some commitment towards paying my debts and go to work. It was quite fun really. I found a c.d player which I never really knew existed. I guess nobody else did either, because despite having worked at Dobson and Robinsons sports shop for over six months, every shift has been accompanied by the sound of silence. and people talking obviously. It was especially good because I had IYFS in my rucksack so I fitted trainers to Stars of Track and Field. Which was appropriate. And sold sledges in time to Fox in the Snow. Lovely. Isn't it nice when you can soundtrack your life. The easy way to do it is to make themed mix tapes, a habit I have got into lately. I sometimes make them then give them to someone and see if they can guess the theme. Grate fun. Of course by the end of the day i was indeed wishing to get away from the sporty atmosphere. Most of our customers are slapers buying fluorescent green zip tops and silly trousers with splits down the sides. They give me funny looks, obviously wondering why, with my staff discount, I am wearing scratty cord flares and even more scratty trainers. Ah well. Such is life. I like saying 'such is life'. It stops me having to consider things for too long. In my last post i said about how I was going to see Arab Strap. They were indeed very good, although, being a band you watch in a stationary, arms folded way, I felt all dizzy by the end, which somewhat impeded my enjoyment. Odd that, how it's more tiring to stand still at a gig than to dance around. Tomorrow I am going to see Terris. Or rather I am going to see Mull Historical Society and Life Without Buildings, and Terris happen to be the headliners. should be good. which rhymes. Anyway, my fingers are too cold to be typing. They need to be wrapped up warmly in a tea towel. That's been put in the microwave. A handy tip for keeping warm there. And cheaper than a hot water battle.

If you were not around it is a shame cos you missed a bunch of great songs, including "Life is a rollercoaster" by Martin Robinson (his biggest hit), a cover of "Space Oddity" by Ken, and "Parklife" by CarsmileSteve. (That even made my day today because I heard it on the radio when walking into work this morning, as a result my boss caught me giggling on my own and now he thinks I am nuts.) Anyway that was great fun, and then Brian and Sarah and Ken obliged us all to go DDR. Well not really under armed threat but you know... Still I have to admit that Brian is THE world champion for DDR. Even after quite a lot of drinks he still makes everyone else look as bad as me, that is a lot rubbish. Then I went home and it was snowing so all the way back from the bus stop I kept my mouth open to eat snow flakes. Yummm almost as good as Guinness :). I was hoping to do snow men this morning but it's all gone now. So instead of doing snow men I went to work. Which was obviously less fun. I couldn't find the courage yet to read all the posts about the gig in Glasgow because I am going to be so green with jealousy. I might leave it for next week. And then I will make all of you jealous posting about Camera Obscura gig next Saturday as a revenge. Ha! I have my stereo back after three weeks without it. That is such a RELIEF. Byebye...

You've Too Much On Your Mind Message-ID: <000101c0a440$daa9d7c0$3355073e@default> Hi Fragrant Ones, I don't think this has appeared on Sinister before but there are realaudio files of Looper's 18.05.00 Radio Scotland session here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/djs/session_scotland/audio_and_video/live_sessio n/livesession_looper.shtml One of the 2 songs is called Peacock Johnson. Its hard to make out what STuD is whispering about on my crappy old pooter but it doesn't sound very sweary. How is he going to manage being both himself and Peacock at his Borders appearances? He'll have to keep dashing behind the bookshelves to pop his Hawaiian shirt & 70's pornstar moustache on. I want to hear Big John Shaft & Take Your Carriage Clock and Shove It. Come to that I want to hear Marx & Engels & all those other unreleased songs, too. Lucy's been pondering her impending ATP experience too much recently, for she wrote: "I had a weird dream last night. I went to a seventies rock festival with David Moore, who lent me a load of seventies clothes for the occasion: denim flares, a crocheted waistcoat and a nice tan leather belt with tasselly bits on. I was sitting on the grass, soaking up the sunshine when I noticed Liam Gallagher was nearby and he was giving me the eye and then the seventies rock guitarist on the stage winked at me. Then my alarm went off, which is a shame because I'd love to know what was going to happen next ..." Aaah, burgundy brushed denim flares with those V seams on the knees :) Did the guitarist have long black hair parted on the left & a black Gibson SG? If so it was John Cipollina and at the end of the gig he pointed you out to his roadies & they took you backstage to be his laydee. Whereas Geneviève's obviously been eating too much cheese late at night, as she dreamed: "I went to Mr. Moore's house where he was kind enough to feed me lots of good food, but for some reason there was lots of stairs in the house, certain ones were designated for going up and certain ones for going down. I was wandering around, and I almost picked the wrong one, I tried to go down an UP. But David shouted out just in time and everything was ok." This just has me baffled. Visitors to our house are allowed one stair direction error per stay. Sally & I went to see Arab Strap on Monday. Like Carsmile we stepped carefully over the sleeping students to stand a metre in front of Aidan & Malcolm. I met Malcolm's gaze once but he didn't smile. I never dare to even look in Adele's general direction in case she picks on me, as I'm terrified of her. Sally was bored & would rather have seen Evan again but I think they were good, & half the set excellent. (Rocket, Take Your Turn/Infrared/Blackness/Turbulence) However I still don't have a clue what Aidan sings about even when I know the words & can read his lips, so mostly I just listen to the guitar. Hmm. Students sitting on the floor at gigs - that's pretty 70's. Maybe your dream was prophetic, Lucy. Red Thread (or at least the second half of it) is pretty good, too. I'd still rather listen to a new Belle And Sebastian record, though. What do you think of the new Tortoise album? It doesn't sound much like them to me - I can hear bits of rock, Mouse On Mars, the Chemical Brothers, even the soundtrack to Sonic The Hedgehog. Strange. It'll be interesting to see what they play live at Camber Sands. That's it for the other one.

Don't read it if you don't want to. If you don't like it, let me know; I want people to tell me when I'm not liked. Ambition's a strange thing. I got thinking the other day about all the ambitions I've had, and how they're all contradictory and I'll probably never fulfil all of them. The first was to be a train driver. The second was to read the Shipping Forecast on Radio 4. I love its monotone rendering of the seas of Europe. It's poetry, you know. South Utsire, Forties, Cromarty, Forth. South-West or South 5 to 7. Snow Showers. Good. We had lots of snow in Scotland this week. After it had stopped, but whilst i knew it would still be lying thick on the ground, i went out for a walk with my camera. I walked up the hill by the Royal Observatory and crunched about in it. There was an icy crust on top, but in places it had drifted and was still powdery-soft and feet deep. I took photos of the snowy city; i took photos of people walking their dogs, and i took photos of the snow itself, its surface all iced over and churned up. After that, I walked down into the wooded glen behind the hill, and old women walking their dogs said hello to me. German Bight, Humber. East or South-East backing North-East 4 or 5. Fair. Good. I want to take more photographs. I suddenly had this urge, which i've not had for a few years, to go and take pictures of beautiful things. I want to travel all round Scotland with my camera, and take photos of the little things which nobody looks at but which are amazing every day. To my mind, the most photogenic building in Glasgow is the ticket booth of Kelvinhall underground station. Take a detour next time you're in Partick. Then, I want to photograph a girl standing outside Hillhead station, waiting to bump into a song writer. You never know, they could be in a band someday. Thames, Dover, Wight, Portland, Plymouth. East backing northeast 5 to 7. Rain, then showers. Moderate or good. The third ambition is a bit bizarre, but would be so great. I want to make the *first* commercial for "feminine hygiene products" that features lots and lots and lots and lots of red liquid everywhere, in a horror-film type way. Seeping from the walls, and everything. The Chosen Product would make it all go away, of course. I get *so* irritated by all those adverts with little vials of blue liquid, and I'm a boy. I hate to think what all the girls out there must think. I mean, it looks like mouthwash. Or the stuff you used to see in big glass bottles in the front windows of chemists. I'd like to see a bit of reality advertising some day, even if it does put me off my fish fingers. Sole. Cyclonic becoming northerly 5 to 7, occasionally Gale 8, becoming variable 3 or 4. Rain then showers. Moderate, becoming good. Sometimes, I make ink polaroids of photos i never took. Like the old man who talked to me in a cemetary in the Outer Hebrides overlooking the ocean; he was old, weatherbeaten, and told me he was just visiting a friend. You can see the smile on his face, the glint in his eye, which could be happiness or sadness. Fog banks are coming off the Atlantic behind him. Malin. Westerly 3 or 4 backing southerly 7, perhaps Gale 8 later. Snow. Moderate. I don't know if everywhere will look good in a photograph. I've not seen everywhere. But I want to try, at least. It's an ambition I can at least have a go at. x will -- "one day, everything will be grate, as long as you are willing to make it to be..." -- John Maxwell ICQ 66321009 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

And over what? Nothing. The earth starts trembling and all of a sudden people fret. Humans. I'm beginning to not trust anyone. An example of why not: When my friend heard that I was going up North to do what I do best -drink hot chocolate in some random diner in a strange city while reading a book until I get up the energy to wander around until I find some bookstore in which to plunder- she told me to come stay with her so she could show me "scenic" New Jersey. I figured that since she was going to be performing miracles that she should at least be dressed for the part. Thus, I asked her to be donned in a blazer with gold fringes, a hat, and have a monkey on her shoulder. Ok, so I would have settled for the monkey to be the one in the suit. Alas, it did not matter. There was no suit! There was no monkey! There was no Scenic New Jersey! Perhaps the "natural beauty" which she kept referrring to was simply herself. She might qualify but since she is 9 inches shorter and all I ever see of her is the top of her head - I wouldn't know. Now, rejected and disappointed I turn to Sinister for solace. However, I suppose I should be careful about what I write since my friend admitted that this summer she looked up my name on google and came across my posts to the list. She though it was a literary book list of some sort. (It would be easy to mistake. If she read "b&s" as "BS", she probably was expecting something to do with Joseph Heller. The hack.) She then confessed that each Wednesday night when she had to work late she would read my posts because it was like having me in the room with her.* I hope hers isn't the only office I'm sneaking into late at night. I'm trying to cultivate a "reputation" here. LOVELY LISTENS FOR LAURA LLEW-A-THON 2001: Yes! I returned to find I've already received two generous donations of mix tapes in which to help me recover from my stark winter of musical starvation. What a great start (hint hint) with my first sinister mix tape ever which had a Beastie Boys song on it! Excellent. It was the lovely & sweet of heart Emily Wilska who provided that. I listened to it on my morning commute and so far it's such a wonderful mix. Thank you kindly Miss Emily. I appreciate it so!!! The second one I have yet to atune my ear for. I would thank the provider of this but the generous donor is tweaking the enigma knob by remaining anonymous. I'm still grateful though. I know you all want to participate in helping me amass a mix tape collection which will at least allow me to have new tunes to listen to on my roadtrips. (Well, that is if it doesn't end up as Pinefox's tape who got wedged beneath some books taunting me the whole trip because I couldn't reach it to listen to it. The pain!) I'm the little orphan of pop roaming aimlessly from state to state. Yes, I realize that with such past entries of *Melt In Your Mouth And Not In Your Hand Mm Mm Matthew Molnar's Disco Groove Set* and *Billzebub Harris's mix of poetry readings by Wallace Stevens & Robert Frost interdispersed by rollicking country tunes* one could be intimidated but I promise that each contribution will get the delicate and complete attention of yours truly. Act Now! (well except for Keanu Reeves. I've given up hope that he will ever be able to manage that verb.) I have a question for you Brits (Perk up now. Usually, I just have mockery and funny imitations of you). I just read that the London Underground installed new vending machines in its South Kensington station in January where for a pound you can buy a short story (including one written by Parker though I don't know which one) that is a perfect read, being under a half hour read, for a commute. Is anyone familiar with this and if it is at all successful? It seems like a cool idea anyway. Or at least less scary than the new Library Hotel in Manhattan Hotel where each floor is organized by the Dewey Decimal system. Every one is dedicated to one a major category and then each room fits into the overall theme. Evidently, the most requested one is the Erotic Literature Room. Quick, Pookie, pluck that Peacock room before its becomes unavailable! Thinking of Dorothy Parker - and really when aren't you - I recall Archel quoting her in the news flash of: Men seldom make passes At girls who wear glasses Here! Here! My recently bespectaled face can surely attest to that one. I must say that I'm getting tired of the cop out compliment of, "they make you look more intelligent." Since when did the presence of glasses make anyone look stupid? With the exception of a picture I have of my friend wearing lensless crooked glasses while licking a road in Acadia National Park in Maine, I can't really say that I've known anyone to look as a moron while wearing them. So why do people say it? Will you realize that was a rhetorical question? (Depends on if you're wearing glasses or not, I bet) Archel, more recently, commented on the book "Princess Bride." Rah! I always wished I had read that one before I had seen the book though both are delightful in a light hearted way. I still haven't replaced my copy which I gave away in exchange for a book which the other person said I would "just love." Tom Robbins' "Skinny Legs and All" which I didn't love. I didn't even like it! It was stretching to be witty and amusing and different and fell flat on its can of beans main character's butt. However, I just restocked Princess Bride & this edition has the first chapter of the long-lost sequel, Buttercup's Baby. Oooohh Aaaaahhh. If you remember seeing the movie and liking it but don't remember the movie clearly, DON'T watch it again. Simply give a shout out to me - I'll send you the book. I won't even make you send me a bad Robbins book in return. Laura 'meeting all of your laura llew needs since 1977' *Abby, if by chance you are reading this I'm merely teasing. Your home is pretty and the top of your head is one of the loveliest I've ever seen. Plus, you're an ace hostess indulging me in all the geeky literary things that only library or bookshop girls could properly appreciate. ???? - Lawerence the Milkman Milkkesen just whispered to me that he thinks the Pixies complete B-Sides are being released in the UK this week. Does anyone know if/when its coming out in the US? Anyone? Anyone?

Message-ID: <002901c0a460$1f8995a0$6700000a@infotrek.co.uk> I would like to begin with the admission that I do not normally, or, indeed, ever, pay attention to current events. They are, by turn, tedious, depressing, repetitive and unimportant in the grander ebb and flow of both an individual life and that of our not so sacred species. However, I feel I really ought to write a little bit about a recent item of news, although that term doesn't really do justice to the event. What I write is, more than anything else, an epitaph. I am speaking of the destruction of two statues of Buddha by Taleban rebels in Afghanistan. Do I hear a sigh of boredom escaping from fair lips? If you bare with me, I will explain my reasons for mentionting this. When I chanced upon the news items, I do not think it would be histrionic (well, perhaps slightly, but forgive me the for the sake of dramatic effect, please) to say that it impacted on me like a blow to the stomach. I consider these treasures, which represent the life and essence of our predessesors, not only as common property, but precious treasures, almost sacred remains, symbols of life, hope, mortality - the themes that cut to the core of our being, expressed in different ways throughout the epochs. Thus, whenever one such treasure is lost, the world and our pool of human resources grows a little poorer. The Afghani Taleban now claim to have destroyed two-thirds of the Buddhist icons in what is now their territory. I do not particularly hold them accountable for this destruction, since it would be grossly hypocritical to blame a group now for committing crimes that virtually every civilisation in the world has perpetrated, and continues to do today. In fact, perhaps I am wrong - I hold all civilisations accountable, but am powerless to stem the sad tide. It is simply a waste, a senseless, tragic waste, and I wanted to write this, alas (for I had intended it to be otherwise, I promise) lengthy, obituary for some precious things now lost. Moving on from such musings, I am, quite frankly, lost for words. I have been surveying my week in search of some interesting event from which to draw inspiration, but the only two things I can come up with are reading Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night off the back of a truck to a departing crowd at a club in Camden (it didn't quite have the inspirational effects I had envisioned in my vivid imagination) and a brief encounter I had at the shops earlier today. I think the latter is of more interesting - debauchery is a bore when one isn't being debauched, and even then I wonder. If you imbibe enough alcohol, drugs or whatever else your bag may be, then you are set on a course that doesn't end until the substances wear off or you pass out, but that doesn't mean it is engaging, it is simply inexorable. My poor little analytic mind tends to observe my body reeling around drunkenly with horror, yet remains utterly powerless to do anything, and simply observes proceedings, patiently waiting in the wings for it all to end. So nothing more about debauchery. Back to the girl at Marks and Spencer's, although I don't think this anecdote is going to have any point, except, perhaps, well, we shall see. She was a cashier (is it terribly base to long for cashiers? She did work at Marks and Spencers, at least), a slight, black-haired girl with long fingers and quick movements. She contrasted sharply with the usually morose, inattentive people employed by supermarkets, so I manoeuvered my trolley to her check-out (what words to describe brief spells, for spells they are, of romance! Oh the disparity between the modern world and deep feelings!) and fumbled my items onto the conveyor belt with rather trembling fingers. As I moved over to pack, she was kind enough to help me, deluged me with a variety of different shaped bags, and, as I was leaving, having handed over a fistful of change in a feeble attempt at prolonging the entire experience, she said, instead of goodbye of the usual mutterings, "take care". I do not, however, want you to think me in any way blessed by this response, for she had said it to the previous customer. However, I was touched; what a nice, simple and unexpected thing to have said while standing on the dirty linoleum and under the fluorescent lights of a supermarket. Take care indeed. And that, I'm afraid, was that. Read into what you may - my shaking hands and taking care are the key, I think. You may be surprised to know, judging by the quality of the above, that it was written over the course of several hours. Perhaps, next time, I shall wait and restrain myself until inspiration is kind enough to alight at my side to give me guidance, and thus afford whosoever may be kind enough the pleasure of reading something more beautiful that this rather lacklustre offering. Until then, well, my fondest and best wishes go out to you one and all.

Judy and the Dream of Horses Introduction "Write a song about your dream of horses Call it Judy and the Dream of Horses", That line must have been playing just as she fell asleep, or when the timer on her stereo kicked in and switched it off, either way it wouldn't stop looping. She didn't really mind, she liked that line, and not just because of the vanity that came with hearing your own name. There was something in that line about hope and about finding value in the wrong places. I suppose you wouldn't understand unless you'd heard it all, or at least the relevant bits. The part that nearly explained it went something like: "Judy got a book at school Went under the covers with a torch Fell asleep till it was morning Dreamt about a girl who stole a horse Judy never felt so good except when she was sleeping" But you'd really need to hear the song. Judy decided she'd take the advice, although it couldn't be a song, they'd already written the song so that would be silly. Judy was going to write a story, after all, you didn't get a motivation like this every day and it might be the push she needed to finish something she'd started. You couldn't live on scrapbook ideas and poems these days, no matter how good you were. Judy sat down at the desk behind her bed. She started slowly, but began to pick up speed the more she wrote, and the more she liked it: "'Judy and the Dream of Horses' I hadn't slept properly in a month. Chapter 1 I hadn't slept properly in a month. You know that they say if you hate someone too much everything gets all twisted? Well, the same thing can happen with love, only that won't go away just because you decide it should. There's no way you can just leave it alone either, especially when the other person loves you back just as much, or thinks they do. I guess you wouldn't really understand unless you knew someone who made you so nervous that you couldn't speak to them for fear of having them despise you. You'd always be afraid of giving away something of your character and having them realise, instantly, that you are in no way their equal, or even their second best. You have to understand that, for all my efforts not to be, I'm pretty much flawed. I try to care about things, I try to put other people first, but it never feels quite right, it always feels like I'm doing it for myself. Sometimes I manage it, last week I actually got really upset when some girls I know were talking about going to war being a duty, but that's just the once. Usually I just sit at home listening to music and working out how to get back at someone who's upset me, or going out and looking for the best way to attract everyone's attention. I've tried to be like him, to actually care more about other people than I do about myself. It doesn't work, and every time he touches me I can feel that he knows I'm not like him. Now, I didn't always understand he was like that, when I first met him I had no idea at all. As far as I can remember it was January, though it could just as easily have been February, and I was sitting in the front room reading a book and drinking Ribina through a straw. He had come to see my dad about the computer and I had no idea who he was. He fixed the problem in a couple of minutes and sat down on the chair next to me to have a cup of tea. I winked at him, I always winked at boys when they first came into the house, it was my way of introducing some drama to the proceedings. He shuffled the first time, and smiled just enough to avoid offending me. I waited until my father came into the room and winked again, this time he pretended it hadn't happened. I went back to my book. I soon found that it was impossible to read over the discussions taking place between my father and my new toy. I noticed he was looking at me and looked back sharply, intending to embarrass him. He held my gaze for a second and then returned his eyes to my father. A little confused by this reaction I searched for something else to occupy my attention. I began to blow gently on my Ribina, manoeuvring the waves across the cup. I continued this until the tea was finished and the boy left. *When my father turned to me he looked, first to me, then to the boy and smiled. He waited for a couple of seconds, gauging my reaction, then said slowly and almost disquietingly, "He's a nice boy isn't he? You like him?" The last part sounded so much like a statement that I was unsure how to react. After yet another awkward pause, I replied "Yes". My father chuckled to himself as he left the room, apparently requiring a further cup of tea. As my father did not return for quite some time, and his comments had aroused my interest in the boy, I decided to look for him in the kitchen. He was sitting at the table with his cup resting in front of him, looking at the door. He seemed as though he were expecting me and smiled. I put my Ribina down on the table and sat drinking it for a little while. I raised my eyes to him and said, "That boy seems nice". My father nearly chuckled and replied, "Yes, he does" and went back to his coffee. I couldn't leave it at that, though my father had made it quite clear in his silence that he had no particular wish to discuss him any further. or so I thought, so I asked; "Does he go to Uni. round here?" "He does" "Studying Computer Science?" "No, he's doing an Art course, but he uses computers a lot for work" At that point, I sat in triumph for a couple of seconds, thinking I had pushed my father into giving a reasonable answer. "You seem awfully interested in this boy, considering that this is the first time you've ever seen him" He smiled. "Well, I like to know about people, why shouldn't I" Still smiling, my father replied, "No reason at all" and sat back looking smug. Feeling more than a little silly, I went straight to bed, deliberately neglecting to wish my father good night. This was an act of petulance, and I was well aware of that fact, but it made me feel better, so I decided not to care.

Cant tell if it's the old one, or a new one, or just a bunch of them having a party in my lungs. The guy's in the next room are watching wrestling, and Wheat just doesnt seem to be drowning them out. Maybe I should upgrade to songs;ohia... Saw this website today (I'm ill, mike's at work, what else is there to do..?) called Random Acts Of Kindness. I dont know if all the beechams is making me cynical, but it struck me as a pile of tree-hugging, crystal-wearing, feng-shui nonsense. They had these little cards that you were supposed to give to everyone you did a nice thing for telling them to do something for someone else. That struck me as... I dont know, crude or something. That's a conditional act of kindness, not spontaneous or because it was needed, just making up the numbers. It misses the whole damned point! (jules starts to hyperventilate) If someone did a nice thing for you, and then gave you a card saying do something for someone else, then thats a whole obligation to fill, unless you resent the assumption and dont bother, but then you feel like you have to be kind to someone, and grab the first chance you see, and then the whole damn thing is wasted! The site said stuff like if you're in a bakery, buy a pastrie for the person behind you, and give them a card with it. Surely it'd be a more useful act to buy a tea and a sandwich for the guy stood across the street selling the big issue, or asking for change, or buy some food and put it in those charity bins at the supermarket... Am I making any sense here, or just displaying indie snobbery?! I dont know, either way, I still think that Joanna giving change to that guy on the bus is worth a damn sight more than buying a cake for someone who can afford cake if he's in a bakery already. So I need a new name for my haphazard form of world-improvement. I cant think of anything tho. any idea's, or has Jules lost the plot (again) so anyway, If anyone wants their world brightened, check out the new Bob the Builder website www.bobthebuilder.org , and play pilchard mayhem- it's the cutest thing since sainsbury's started making Mt Men cookies!

Sewing. Or maybe darning's the word. Anyway, the pocket of this H&M linen jacket is now complete with a wonky repair job, ready for summer (via the washing machine at 40deg.C with similar colours says the label) and, more presently, a trip to Tesco's in search of olive oil and a turnip. Firstly, however, a wee note to the sinister list to keep my hand in, as it were. It's my first attempt to weave in quotations from other posts, as recommended by Kenjuggle (of #sinister fame and competing with Vodkabird for the *acro* championship), so bear with me (or not; it being a free and busy world with lots of finer temptations). Ruvi Simmons wrote of a Marks and Sparks checkout person: ...as I was leaving, having handed over a fistful of change in a feeble attempt at prolonging the entire experience, she said, instead of goodbye of the usual mutterings, "take care". I had a similar experience whilst shopping in Euralille a few years back, in which a girl said "doucement". This sound remained with me for hours, miles even, all the way to St.Raphael on the Cote d'Azur the following morning, where a couple of equally charming (but cunning) women took the trouble to relieve me of most of my luggage, from the rack at the far end of the railway carriage, including a rather fabulous (and brand new) artificial-fibre black polo-neck from... Marks & Spencer. Gneiss (one and the same person I assume?) Will said: I want to take more photographs. I suddenly had this urge, which i've not had for a few years, to go and take pictures of beautiful things. This reminds me of some lines spoken by John Malkovich in the Antonioni film *Beyond The Clouds* which was screened on the British Broadcasting Corporation's second channel last night. The monologue was along the lines of 'I'm no philosopher; I see the world in images; I make my reality by recording the surface of things'. In the background was a view of a vaulted colonnade and the ochre facade of another building across the street. More gorgeous and self-sufficient cinematography highlighting the architectural marvels of Ferrara ensued. Scrumptious. (with a nod and a wink to the jazz commentator on *The Fast Show*). Carrying on the theme, but in terms of sound, was a dialogue between lovers, under the said-same vaulting. The female character, Carmen, says to the dashing young water-pump engineer (I paraphrase) 'isn't the human voice strange: the sound of the sea one comes to ignore in time, like the wind or birdsong but, no matter how hushed or indistinct, one can never ignore the sound of a human voice.' I wonder if this explains my ambivalent relationship to song lyrics. Until my mid-twenties, I studiously avoided music with vocals, or if lyrics must, sung in a foreign language which I couldn't understand. I think it's because the sea, wind, birdsong etc. were the things I wanted to hear, conjoined with almost an embarassment that someone else should be co-opted to act as my emotional spokesperson over the top: that inescapable dominance of the word over the sound. I realise this seems rather ridiculous, and belies an isolationist position vis-a-vis other people. I'm getting over it. De-doo-ra-ra-de-de-doo-ron-ron. And It's making me blue Pantone 292 is a great lyric. Tim Malone wrote: Today I went out and bought a cd walkman...and walked around in the rain listening to Tigermilk. Everything takes on a new meaning when the sounds of life are mixed in with a good cd. I agree totally. I've got this RYKO tape of the Kaluli people of Papua New Guinea cutting a tree down in the Bosavi rainforest. There's sounds of frogs and rain too. It sounds terrific to the tune of 'Mind the Gap' and crackling newspapers on the London Underground. Last but not least for now, former lollypop man and lurker from Berkeley/Barclay whatever California James Warner " once spent a winter in Tullibody Clacks." My commiserations. It's not the prettiest of places. Still, there's tons of whisky to nick if you're a dab hand at breaking into the bonded warehouses that stretch along the horizon to the south. Right. Turnip time.

Actors, because they must wear shoes to perform, have, in a manner of speaking, lost their feet. -Tadashi Suzuki "The Grammar of Feet" +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Have you ever noticed how Nice Day for A Sulk is not nice at all. I always thought Struan was really sensitive to girl that weren't all that nice, but Nice Day for a Sulk is just cruel. I saw a six year old accountant the other day. He was talking on a mobile phone, all "buy buy buy sell sell sell". It made me upset, and I thought he was going to just live to be the dullest little boy ever. Then he started beating up his little sister's Winnie the Pooh. And I figured he was going to be a violent chartered accountant. Which isn't funny. Did I tell you, I might be getting a cat, for when I move house? I'm well excited. When we find a new house, I'm going to have my own purple bedroom and my own cat.

Hi all.          introduction: name's jessica but you can call me whatever you want ( but don't be surprised if i don't know who the hell you are talking about)... definately do not call me "j-dawg" .... you know who you are. I am 19... and i am from Allentown, Pennsylvania. My social security number is... no... on the serious side of things... i don't know what to post. I don't get the time to read everyone's... but i try. I only have this bit of writing to offer..... read on if you wish ...... ______________________________________________________________________                                  "SHE"       AND I BECOME AS TRAGIC AS THEY COME       >IN HOLE EATING DIRT CAN'T EAT WAY OUT DIRT CAVES IN HOLE     BECOME DIRT FOR MOMENT<       There have been times where hours passed slowly, like the elderly people on the sidewalks outside of this dingy apartment complex. There have also been times, where the hours just flew by so quickly, and i couldn't wish more that there be over twenty-four lonely hours to a day. But i hold onto every minute, like the cigarettes I continuously savor at night when the room is black, but the darkness is complimented by the citylights below my terrace. >I AM REMINDED THAT THERE IS AN END TO EVERYTHING<       I take my pen in hand and attempt to write more, but the lines are blurred, and my throat grows dry from every shot of whiskey i endure. Looking out at everything below me, i watch as people roam to thier seperate destinations... and couples kiss gentle farewells. >I AM REMINDED OF HOW YOU'D ONCE SAID TO ME, THAT GOODBYE WOULD NOT BE FOREVER <       Oh how the hours seemed to go by so slow, and my tears were dried each night when you arrived home. And I would shout at you, claiming i did not want your pity..........when in essence i did. (head games) I remember the times you would lay in bed with me, and i only wished you would hold me as i pushed away. Instead you walked to the opposite side of the room, where you would just stare at me like there was nothing you could do. >YOU SAID YOU WERE LETTING GO, WHEN YOU WERE IN FACT, NEVER HOLDING ONTO ANYTHING BUT RESENTMENTS<       I remember, ofcourse I remember, how could one forget? Those moments when you were crouched between my thighs, burying yourself deep... and the room was spinning... and my life's battle was forgotten. Oh, but then there was my resistance... when i held up not just one hand, but two. Attempting to push you away due to weariness of pain. A pain i ended up creating on my own.       It was inevitable.... I DID NOT want a savior, and I DID NOT want a lover. I wanted a friend, and my words seemed to just leak through your ears ( >in one ear out the other>)... rather than soak in your brain. And I was offended. >YOU SAID YOU WANTED TO OPEN UP YOUR HEART, BUT I ONLY WANTED YOU TO OPEN UP YOUR MOUTH.....TALK TO ME<       I was offended       How do you sleep at night now my dear? I could never imagine, for i can not sleep. You said, "tragic people are the most beautiful, and the mystery contained behind thier eyes drives me to yearn for more." But you see, I knew from the moment those words left your mud-filled mouth, you didn't know quite what it would be. You were unaware of the efforts involved. >NEEDLE STRINGING FLESH TO SHUT, NO BREATH....CAN NOT BREATH, DO NOT CARE<       When I sat back and waited for something to happen, I never stopped waiting. For even now as we are supposed to be friends, you leave my ears teased by fragments, a break, and an insult. Trying to be profound, but you make no sense to me. Maybe it was the fumes from the polyurathane, or lack of sleep... or even my insanity alone could be blamed... but i no longer had the energy to read between the lines. I grew tired of your obscure way of conversacion.... and so i grew tired of you.       Yes the hours pass quickly now, and I still devour cigarettes, and drink tall glasses of brandy at night to help the insanities along. You ask how i am holding up, but you know the answer kitty cat. I am not devistated by the loss of you, for i lost my mind long before we met, and still have yet to find it. Nothing more could ever concern me until i remedy this misfortune. >WHERE IS MY MIND?<       I believe i mistakenly sold it with the wrest of my belongings. When I auctioned off my every worldly posession, my mind went for a mere fifty bucks. With that I purchased a beaten acoustic instrument in which i strummed at hopefully day after day. Sat there as onlookers and passer-byers generously dropped candy wrappers, broken lighters, lint, and used condoms... rather than money.       I wanted to weep... not for myself... but for thier passive and numbed souls. I wanted to weep, not for myself, but for those who've lived within a poverty i was only existing in at my own will. For those who'd hoped for something more than the remnants of a haughty and belligerent man's clean, silk lined pockets. Weep for those who had not the choice to leave the corner at night.       They say if you want it bad enough, you can taste freedom. That if you work hard enough.... you will have an establishment, shelter, and a name. If you are lucky, you might even have a voice. But this society, and all surrounding falter, and I only see that if you do not spend thousands of dollars to attend an institution, you are not considered an educated person. That if you do not attend church, you are condemned to a hell you may not even believe exists... and that you deserve nothing but to be silenced.  I only see that even those who have attended the fine institutions, and withstood sleepless nights with books of literature in thier naive hands... yes even they have trouble finding work.       No matter what you do, you may never escape some sort of poverty. For, most who have obtained a matter of "wealth and status", still lack the novelty of true rapture. Not everyone, but a good majority. Plenty of them only see in black and white..... >WHAT GOOD IS A RED RUBY, TO SOMEONE WHO CAN NOT SEE THE LUSTER OF IT'S SHARP COLOR? TO ONE WHO ONLY SEES HER/HIS OWN REFLECTION PEERING BACK AT THEM?<       I shudder to think that i should ever become one of the types to be so ignorant. So i fill my glass, and light another cigarette. I sit motionless, in the midst of tragedy. Staring through a box that seperates me from the despair of a remote and desolate culture... destined to collapse in it's very own self-adorning obsession, and self-righteous mindset. to be continued.... *laughs* ______________________________________________________________________ well that is all i have for now... perhaps next time i will go for something a little more personal. or was that personal? yeah whatever.... ciao all. jeia~* p.s. shout out to my grrrl...

Not that I was completely clueless before. I mean, if I looked at a statue or a painting I could easily say, "gee, thats pretty". Or wow, "He must've loved her" or something like that. But I would've been damned if you asked me how the artist used composition and line to give movement to the work. I always thought it was made up so that people could become Art History majors. Or to give people something to talk about in museums when talking about the beauty of art is no longer enough to fill the silence, and you have to start talking about it in a technical manner. Like when I talk about Belle and sebastian to people and they get tired of me saying, "but listen! The lyrics, the piano, the strings! They're great", and I have to start talking about the interplay of Stuart's guitar with Isobel's cello (how dirty :). What makes me think that if somebody doesn't get the beauty of the music, they'll understand the technical aspects of it. Anyway, my world has been expanded and I just might be able to finish my art history paper. Prince is on MTV2 right now and his video, I don't the song as the sound is muted while I listen to Felt, has these dancing batmen and jokers in this fenced in, fogged up area that looks like a cemetary. This is very disturbing. Oh well, CDNOW just emailed me to tell me that they are finally sending me my copy of "Pixies F***ing Die". I can't wait to hear the Bonfire Madigan version of Monkey Gone to Heaven again. Jules wrote about not so random acts of kindness and I must agree. Buying a pastry for a man who is about buy pastry himself is nothing compared to buying lunch for somebody who has been living off of other people's thrown away food for the past 3 years. eh, how depressing, I'm going to go fill my fat face with breakfast. -- Tim Malone +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

So, I was thinking, if anyone were interested in making me a mix tape (though a mix cd would be way cooler), I might be persuaded to make them a cd of my show and sending it through the mail. It would be neat, because sometimes I don't have time and money to listen to cool bands that I haven't heard of or can't find at stores, and I should be doing that, since I do a radio show. Also it's fun. Like, for instance, bands like Felt and the Field Mice...two bands that I haven't heard, but have been mentioned many times on the list...it would be super to have a song or two from them to listen to. So anyway, email me if you are interested in making a trade. Next topic: Has anyone checked out the Radiohead videos fromo their new album? They're in really short quicktime segments on their site. They're really neato, just like the album insert from kid a. Does anyone know where I can find Radiohead videos on tape? Last topic: I agree with Jules; it is really cheese-y to do something nice for someone and then give them some little card telling them they're obligated to do something nice for someone else. Talk about strings attached. If you are going to do something nice for some stranger, just do it. Don't invade their personal space by trying to become pals with them. But anyway, that's just my opinion and this post is becoming TOO LONG.

Lovely days are great, apart from one thing. Travelling home on your own after a great day out can be one of the most horrid times ever. After the euphoria and joy wear off, you suddenly realise that the only things that keep you from being alone are your reflections on the window pane, and the faint memories of the smiles and laughter that was just there with you moments before but which will not return for at least another day, another month, another lifetime. At least there are always some of that memory which do willingly stay put with you for a bit, that reminds you that for a moment at least, that you had a good time, making you smile and swoon briefly before falling back into reality again. I guess that is why driving home is better than taking public transport, because you will appear a complete nutter when you periodically rotate from smiling to swooning to sighing to sulking to smiling again, as I have discovered. But of course whilst travelling home after a lovely day out, there is also the comfort in the knowledge that when you do get home and into bed, you are probably going to have a very sweet dream indeed!

I've been on the outer for a few months and watched patiently as concepts that I couldn't fully expand or exploit wafted past. I'm feeling somewhat akin to a little kid at school who gets recognised by one of the big kids, and staggers dizzily around for the rest of the day, hoping to turn another corner and feel the thrill of minor recognition once more. Well, by now you're either moving on to another message in the hope that your lack of response will shatter my spirits and instantaneously destroy my will to post, or you could just be asking why it is that I've chosen this moment in particular to break my vow of silence. Then again you might not be thinking either, and I may have bored you sufficiently already for your brain to go for a nice quiet walk, on the off chance that somebody else is saying something more interesting somewhere else. Sorry about that. I got a little bit carried away. Now, my reason for posting... Yesterday, Gordon wrote something along the lines of > I had a similar experience whilst shopping in Euralille a few years > back, in which a girl said "doucement". This sound remained with me for > hours, miles even, all the way to St.Raphael on the Cote d'Azur the > following morning, where a couple of equally charming (but cunning) > women took the trouble to relieve me of most of my luggage, from the > rack at the far end of the railway carriage, including a rather fabulous > (and brand new) artificial-fibre black polo-neck from... Marks & > Spencer. It got me thinking about the "relief" of items. It is a well established concept that people often have items in their possession relieved of their presence. Does this then mean that the item in question is unhappy with it's station in life and pleads with passing strangers to relieve it of it's misery? Could this mean that a kleptomaniac is just someone who can't bear to see items in need of relief? The theory does stand up (to a point of course) when used in reference to B&S. You don't hear of original pressings of tigermilk being in need of relief from their oppressors. Therefore it must mean that when an item is relieved of personage, it must be a) horribly depressed or b) possessed by (in the case of B&S especially) an unworthy owner. Of course my theories are completely destroyed when one brings into consideration the polo-neck. How a delicious creature can be so unhappy as to be relieved when still unsoiled is a mystery even to me. I would like to thank the few of you that have lasted the tiresome length of my opening opus and hopefully give you great relief in the knowledge that it shall not be repeated for a long while as I'm now going to go and sit in the corner and hang my head in shame. Thank you for your considerable time.

Which gives me the chance to rave again about how much good Aussie music there is out there at the moment. And to mention that supposedly sometime this month, the David Bridie album is finally going to be released in the UK. He used to be in My Friend The Chocolate Cake (possibly the greatest band name ever), and the solo stuff is wonderfully mellow, a bit Dido at times (which is a good thing), and my current choice of hangover music. Which means I listen to it quite a lot. Elsewhere, Julia mentioned her breasts purely so that she could be allowed to put picture of them on the body parts page, and I think this kind of behaviour should be encouraged. Disaster! I think my old cartoon B&S T-shirt might have finally bitten the dust, after 3 years of stirling service. I went to a popcorn party in Stoke on Saturday (like a foam party, except that the guns produced popcorn instead), and it degenerated into a popcorn fight. All my clothes (and I do mean ALL my clothes) were full of the stuff the next morning, and my T-shirt seems to have got stretched in the process when a couple of girls ambushed me. And I don't think it'll just shrink back in the wash. So, if you please, a moment's silence in memory of a fine item of clothing, and the best pulling aid I've ever owned. Relief! My tape player's finally been fixed, so I might be able to start making mix tapes again. Girls who wear glasses are undoubtedly a good thing. Because it means if you get them into bed they have to take them off, and they can't see what kind of state your body is in. It always worries me when newbies say they're too scared to say anything because of the quality of the other posts. Because it means they've never read any of the drivel I come out with.

Message-ID: <20010305132040.1182.qmail@web611.mail.yahoo.com> Hello all, Strangest thing I saw this weekend... Some three year olds playing with this machine that tells you how horny you are... I never realised that anyone would actually need a machine to tell them anything like that. Out of interest, does Honey know that there is an adult toy with the same name? You know, a sort of pink-torpedo-look-a-like toy that makes a buzzing noise and looks like a torch without a light? (if you need more despcription, e mail and ask.) Got to read Howards End for today. Thankfully, my educated friends on popex, are currently giving me a low-down on what exactly its about. B+S stuff: sat making a tape of B+S for my friend last night. She heard Family Tree and liked it, so I sat and made her a tape. I called it "A crash Course in Belle and Sebastian" and have included all sorts of information for her. Including websites, a discography, whos-who, and what tracks are from which albums. Never got enough space to include any of the EPs or singles. Also made anther tape for another friend of a more variety of music, including Garbage, Curtis Mayfield, Mint Royale, Looper, B+S, Breeders, Lemonheads and Air. And loads of other stuff as well. Had great fun designing the wee card to go inside. Sat watching Kareoke Fish with boyfriend on Saturday night. We came to two comclusions: One for Sorrow (Steps) could easily be an Arab Strap song. Next time you hear it, simply filter it through your mind with a whingy-Scottish-git voice and voila! one Arab Strap song! Second conclusion: the fish looks like my flatmate. the tory sleazy one? I always found that fish a bit creepy. And I always found that flatmate as drunk as a fish and sounding like hes talking underwater. Now I have nothing more to say. I have cold fingers for some reason, and an empty mind. See you later, Camp B+S.

Message-ID: morning sweeties...well, everyone's been posting so i thought i'd contribute something. strange fruit, toronto edition is happening this friday at rancho relaxo again. come one come all, and this time we might even remember to bring some b&s with us...last time we all figured "the other person" would bring their whole collection. we were all wrong, but were saved in the 11th hour, literally. it's a lot of fun actually and it's a been a really kewl crowd the last coupla times. we even thought we had an ashley macisaac sighting, but were never quite sure...heehee. i'm having a slight body crisis (again.) just when i get comfortable with how everything's looking or i've come to accept that i don't look like i used to...my scalp decides to fall off. grrr...it's my mother's fault. she wants to take a family photo before she goes back to england for a visit. she wants me to look normal...subtle way of asking me to grow some hair back. i think they should just take a photo of my sister with them, that's who everyone really wants to see...she is the prettiest indie girl in the world after all. oooh...saturday night was an eye opener. i was handing out condoms and latex gloves at ms. leather toronto 2001. i really don't know how to explain it. i tried my best to dress up for the part, le chateau pvc pants (i'm a homo after all,) 14 hole doc's, leather vest, and studded dog collar. believe me, i looked a little vanilla compared to the crowd. but man did i have fun. it was a pageant of sorts, but this was no miss america. "and now we've got contestant #3 with her sexual fantasy pantomime." i also saw the kewlest shoes in the world, they were really high heels, just no heels. they made the wearer look like they had barbie feet, or hooves, things were a little hazy by then. i got a little drunk so i left early and went to a 24hr market. nothing like walking down the dairy aisle in a studded dog collar and checking all the eggs in a carton. cheese and mushroom omelettes taste better at 3am. i was trying to search the archives on the soundtracky thing that b&s are doing...i thought someone figured out which movie it was, but i can't find it now. well, i'm pretty sure i've figured it out...along with everyone else i imagine. if they do release it all on a soundtrack album that would be very kewl. maybe they'll do a selma songs kinda thing... k...i'm supposed to be working, but i think i'll browse cd's. i've been listening to trashcan sinatras too much lately...it's time for new tunes. a. The crudity and sparness of life is to be found in public lavatories." -Leoni Orton-Barnett, sister of Joe Orton. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I'm only going to be there during the week, however, so don't send me any cool weekend-type things, or I'll have to get jealous and hurt someone. or run away, either one. I have to bring up napster again, because it helps me get through my library shift because I download b&s songs and dance in my chair, and something that allows me the opportunity to dance in a library can't be all bad. right, I didn't think so.

I'm not sure that it is, it's certainly been endemic throughout my 10 years of gig going, and while i like a nice seat to watch a gig, as long as i can see over people's heads, i'd never sit on the floor.

I don't think the Clientele speak icelandic, they don't even know the tune to "Fever", unlike my new friend Minx who did a very good versh of it on Friday. Idles asks us to think of Honey as some sort of sex aid, which of course she already is, having allowed a lot of people to meet and have sex. Well that and the fact that she's pink and she hums (but only cos she doesn't know the words).

I think we all have our own mental image. Mine, I think, was something like a cross between Mary Tyler Moore and the guy from the "William It Was Really Nothing" sleeve. But how wrong I was. How do I know? Because I've finally seen a picture of our Honey. She'll probably never forgive me for spilling the beans like this. But if she wanted her image to remain forever shrouded in mystery, then she shouldn't have agreed to appear on the cover of her autobiography, which I ran across at Borders yesterday and posessively clutched to my chest as I practically ran to the check-out counter. She's really much lovelier than I ever imagined. But if you'd like your mental image not erased by hard evidence, then don't look. For all curious others, the front cover of the book (which is an excellent read, too) is here: http://www.missprint.org/sinister/things/MissHoneysAutoBiog.html I read it for a second time tonight, as the pouring dashing rain continues to pound my Santa Barbara. I shouldn't really complain though, because it's dumping snow everywhere else. But at least snow is pretty. Water really isn't. And I wrote a column for our local free weekly, about what's happening music-wise here in SB. I actually managed to name-check Belle et Sebby, if only in comparison to The Microphones (who played here on Friday). But I believe it was the first mention of our favorite band to appear in any local media here. Ever. And I also managed to sneak in quotes by Bukowski and F.S. Fitzgerald, which I consider a personal triumph. And I'm watching a Discovery Channel show on cats. Housecats. Didja know that the width of their whiskers equals the width of their body at its widest point? So when they try to walk through a tight spot, if their whiskers touch the sides, they know they won't fit thru. And I sit listening to the rain outside. And my mind wanders to every girl I've ever loved. And I wonder where they all are now. My whiskers brushed against their sides, I guess. Somebody else is loving them. And I walk about in my floppy shorts, smoking too many cigarettes, trying to make drama out of no damned progress at all. But I hold fast to the tremble-wavering spirits that boost us in these strange strange times.

Fine feathers, that is. What did you think? Message-ID: I'd like to get some pictures with titties and feet in it. I know that's a bit tricky, but you could ask your friend to pose with you, ok? Nice, round thingies with pretty little... Sorry, wrong list. I think it was LauraLlew and a bunch of others who said something about girls with glasses not being that "popular" and not pulling enough. What? Take that back right now! You hear me? NOW! Give me a naked girl who wears glasses and I'll give you some other pictures in exchange. No, but really: girls with glasses actually do look more sophisticated, and in my book brains = sexappeal. What I'm afraid is women who are taller than me. I'm a small guy, and tall women always look like they could beat the crap out of me. I don't know why. Also, keeping up the whole sMuT- vibe: People have been dreaming about DaMoore. That's a freaky coincidence, since in my head I keep having these obsessive, homosexual fantasies about his bare chest. I've spent hours and hours lying awake on my bed, just letting my imagination run wild. But I can understand why women find him attractive. Women love guys with long hair (at least in those Playboy fantasies). Women also love guys in uniform. Davy has them both: check out Sinister photos for evidence. Lucky sod. MuSic: Nothing much. Got the new Divine Comedy album last friday, and it's brilliant, nothing like the old stuff, this time it's more acoustic and the songs aren't that clever-clever-clever this time, no "funny" songs about National Express or Sweden... Which is a good thing. One word: Beautiful. B&S: New singles would be nice, but since I'm certain they are not coming to Finland, I hope they wouldn't tour at all. Same goes to Hefner: Stop touring, you fine bands! All we got was fucking Muse and that silly guy with blue hair and spotty face. -Jarkko F. ps: If something inside this message got you horny, seek professional help. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Well, that's Miss Stevenson to you since she is currently training to be a teacher. That's right, kids, one wrong word from you and she shall quickly smother your knuckles with the attention they deserve from her ruler. She's a strict task mistress indeed!

I find this quite shocking. Not really...many of you are lovers of smut. Enough said. Thanks to Chuck, my boyfriend's roommate, for the notice of the award and for the page number. Bye bye for now. Have a good day. Back to lurking and hiding amongst the binary information exchanges on the list... ms. stevenson, lover of smut and such and anything twee. xo *********** * I can assure that it certainly isn't to express sympathy to Big Stu because of his recent loss of clothing. The poor boy's shirt was ruined because girls were fighting over him. Sorry, Stuey, it inspires the same lack of compassion I have for people who have ice cream headaches. I'm heartless, I know. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Why do office people always draw the blinds and slam on the fluorescent lights? It really depresses me. Will Salt said German Bight, Humber. East or South-East backing North-East 4 or 5. Fair. Good. which reminds me of a dance show, which I saw as part of a festival I was doing a bit of dancing for, where two girls in flip flops and snorkels (AND other clothing! honestly... ) wandered on and off stage, made a story between them and waved alot, all to the Shipping Forecast. It was realy finely timed and tuned, charlie chaplin-esque physical humour. Thank you for the mp3s of the glasgow gig, mr chris whom I have never met. sophie* spoke of ribena as a cure for sweetness. My bestest ribena combination is... make some hot ribena, preferably the blackcurrant kind, I have no truck with these new flavours, and dip milk chocolate into it so that it goes all soft, just on the outside, then suck it, and repeat ad infini-all the chocolate's gone-tum. Really nice kinda taste clash, like peanutbutter and jam (that's jelly to the over-the-atlantics). As for content, I have been jumping around in my room alot to IYFS recently. It does feel strange, writing to so many people I've never met. I hope that I meet many of you soon... mmmmmmMilla ... and my life is being much improved right now by the extraordinary mojave3!! their songs are so wonderful, esp #6 on excuses for travellers. It just makes you want to go spin round in a park in the sun with loud loud headphones on. Take care lovelies.

When I was at school I used to make up Ribena at home and put it in a flask, then forget to drink it altogether and pretend to my mum that I had. Once I kept some in my satchel for so long that it fermented, and after I finally drank it I was rolling about in the school greenhouse, wearing my new plant pot hat. Ribena was very popular after that. I'm very excited about Belle and Sebastian's new songs. I even went so far as to grapple with Captain Technology and downloaded those mp3s. Live recordings are a funny thing. Just as "Lord Anthony" is obscured by the jingling of milk bottles and tea cups, for "Big John Shaft" Richard is apparently so happy that he's found himself the Biggest Drum in the Whole Bloody World that he bangs it like a bandsman through the whole song. Milk bottles I can cope with but those drums nearly had the neighbours banging their shoes against the wall. It sounds like a sweet sad song though, and I like it. Props to Mr Sleeka and big props to Captain Technology. David sounded glum > I want to hear Big John Shaft & Take Your Carriage Clock and > Shove It. Come to that I want to hear Marx & Engels & all > those other unreleased songs, too. Now, under the guise of a public service, but really because I suppose I'm slightly obsessed with these things, here's my update on the list of unreleased B + S songs. Apart from Rhoda, Pocketbook Angel, London Has Let Me Down and Hurley's Having Dreams, that they say they're not going to release, there is also... Marx and Engels, Once Upon A Weekend, Wake Her Up and Landslide, all recorded for FYHCYWLAP and mentioned ages ago in a Teletext interview, Loneliness Of The Middle-Distance Runner, Paper Boat and Lord Anthony which they played live a few times a couple of years back, and now Big John Shaft and Take Your Carriage Clock And Shove It. Of course half of these probably won't ever be released because they're not very good (Landslide anybody?), but a lot of the rest are just lovely. Just knowing these songs exist somewhere is enough to keep me in a permanent state of excitement all day long. A bit embarrassing when you're in the queue at Tesco's. I met a girl called Sarah Martin on Friday. Like I kept telling her, she wasn't the REAL Sarah Martin, because the real Sarah Martin is a tiny little thing. She kept telling me to go away. Being little apparently has its benefits, though. On the radio this morning Willie Carson, a tiny little man, was saying that economy class seats in aeroplanes are like beds to him. The lucky man. I'd just cut my nose shaving when the doorbell rang. It didn't stop ringing however much I ignored it so I opened the door. There were two ladies there. "Hello Sir, would you like a copy of the Watchtower? It's oh... I think we'll have to come back when you've stopped bleeding." I almost lost half my nose. Honest.

I have never kissed the editor of Radio Times Message-ID: <53.32fc1a2.27d692f1@aol.com> Hewwo, Firstly, thank all for replying to my Monty Python question. In fact (this is the amazing bit), there were quite a lot of replies. So I decided to put them up on my website. You can find all the answers so far at http://www.angelfire.com/weird/mmmhowqueer/index.html. It also includes Bob the Wasp, and my puritan Ribena views. Not that you wanted to read that. But please also still send replies, cause that was only the ones I got after a day. soph asked innocently: <> And I burst a blood vessel. No, it didn't really. But the thing with non-blackcurrant flavoured Ribena is, it's wronger than wrong. If you were to combine Eminem lyrics with Cardinal Winning, pour with George Bush sauce, sprinkle lightly with a ground copy of the News of the World and microwave it in Hell to the tune of Who Let the Dogs Out until it simmered gently, then fed it to Anne Robinson and got her to vomit it back up, you still couldn't get a worse thing than non-blackcurrant flavour Ribena. And as for Toothkind and Light, it's not Ribena, it's wee. Even Blackcurrant. It's a perversion of the sacred ribena berries, and all they stand for. Ok, i'll stop now. Before the pretty white van with the soft walls comes to swallow me up. I had to trail around shoe shops with the blonde for hours today after school. So I ran off with one of her shoes, while she was trying sandals on. It was a red knee high boot with a six inch heel, and i did a little dance with it. But she couldnt run after me on account of her having one boot on, making her look like she had one leg shorter than the other. I had a debate last night, and we lost. I was gutted. I've only ever lost one debate before and it was the final of my first ever tournament, when I was 13. And we lost to the guy that pinched my bum while I was talking to the judges at the last debate. I was rather cross. Especially since even the teams that went through's coaches came up and apologised and said you should have won", and the presiding judge said we were better than St Aloyisius and should have gone through. Still, I consoled myself by taking all my fizziness out on a St Als pupil who insulted the blonde. I looked her up and down, frowned and said "The St Aloyisius uniform is terrible dowdy, don't you think". Man, she wasn't happy. She'd never heard of B&S either, and went on for half an hour about how indie she was for liking Morcheeba. I'm turning into a hard kid, I swear. The blonde died her hair auburn the other week. She said 'I was hoping it would turn out your colour', but it never. It turned out kind of orange with blonde patches. so her gran made her bleach it back, but now it's sort of blonde with orange patches. Oooh, the poor soul. I always wondered what would happen it B&S did the Star Wars soundtrack. It would be quite scary, to be honest. Like "Monday morning wake up knowing that you've got to clean the droids..." or "I fought in an intergallactic battle between the empire and the rebell alliance...". Or equally not-witty or unamusing things. I keep having dreams about Baxendale. Maybe I've been drinking too much Ribena before I go to bed. Nah, you can never drink too much Ribena. Unless yr Desmond and it makes you vomit. But that must be a genetical flaw, so I won't blow up his house or anything. I'm not a psycopath, really, but there's not telling what i'll do once I've got a few ribena's in me. Ooh, I meant to say, remember the B&S auction? Someone (holly I think) won my scarf, and I wonder if she could mail me and let me know if she still wants it? And in what colours and stuff. I did a talk in English about George Bush being stupid and everyone laughed and thought it was good, except for the boys in the front row, who booed. I don't like hard kids, they keep throwing ice and stones and me and it's sore.

But when I got up, rather than the whiteout I'd hoped to see, it looked more like Entenman's coffeecake. If you've seen Entenman's coffeecake then you know what I mean. So I got to thinking about coffeecake, and how we didn't have any. Er, right, but the mailing list. I was moved to post by a number of things. 1. Someone had a quote from Gorey in their signature. Bravo, or brava. Gorey's great, definitely one of my favourites. 2. Someone went to Jersey. Now, I was born in Jersey, so I know a goodly bit about it. Sorry to the person who stuck up for Jersey, I'm sure it's got its nice parts. But from my experience it's pretty bleak. What part of Jersey did the young traveller go to (sorry, I should've scribbled down your name)? If you ever go back there, keep your eyes open. Every time I go I'm amazed by how many strip malls there are. And it seems like every one has a pizzeria. 3. Someone said something about the Pixies. I love the Pixies, they're great, and I've got all the b-sides already- but what's this about them releasing them on one shiny new disc?! I think I saw something about that on NME, could someone enlighten me? Anyone got a favourite? I like Bailey's Walk, myself. Of course Weird at my School's nice, too. 4. Glasses equal sophistication; girls with glasses are lovely. If they've got nice glasses, that is. It's really no difference to me. 5. I just finished reading Ecstasy: Three Tales of Chemical Romance, by Irvine Welsh. I thought it was really swell. Any recommendations on more to read? I've got one for the Marabou Stork Nightmare but my library doesn't carry that one. 6. Monty Python Sketches. No one ever suspects the Spanish Inquisition. 7. I had to tell you all about my wonderful experience on Saturday last, on one of the best days ever. I saw Weezer in Philadelphia and they were amazing. Ozma was great too, I'm not a GUK fan to begin with, so they were just alright. Anyone else at the show on the third? E-mail me if you were, tell me how you liked it. I just wanted to give their singer a little hug, he was so twee and scrunchy, like a stuffed animal. Dare I compare him to Struan? I just wish that their closing song hadn't been so rushed... School's dry Not much else to say really. I started listening to Pavement at my friend's request, they're a nice band. Thanks for reading this far, I hope you're all doing well! Love, Timothy xoxo p.s. If the Martin that's coming to the States is the pleasant fellow I spoke to on #Sinister, I hope you have a safe trip and an overall enjoyable experience! Just beware of the fuzz and keep a low profile and you'll be a-OK. If you need me to bail you out of the slammer, send me a carrier pigeon. (Er if you're not the Martin that I spoke to, I still hope you have a nice trip, you know. Not to discriminate.) p.p.s. Annabelle, again, just kidding about the stalker thing..

And that category is maneater." _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Who let me the dog out woof woof woof, you're the strongest link but with 3 votes Al Gore you are the weakest link goodbye and I hate you cos you're gay, by the way" Actually it's not really that good is it? Never mind, but then it is obvious anyway that Ribena is not as good as Red Bull, for a start Ribena does not give you wings! Hence why you have to buy fairy wings seperately, and if you actually do grow them wings then when Hard Kids rip your wings off you can just grow new ones. But then, after all the stimulation for the body and mind no hard kids will even dare to come near you, JenOw! will from now on become JenPow! My favourite Monty Python moment is the "I like Chinese" sketch, of course, cos I'm Chinese and I like being liked... Unfortunately I'm a situation a bit similar to Jen when she was in the "girls only phase", except I'm more in the "girls if only phase" ho hum.

The best bit is when she says 'physically satiated'... hmm its nice. Or maybe it's when she says Orgasm. Anyway i imagine it's real nice having the old in-out in-out when that is on but then i wouldn't really know. Just thinking about this and i imagine this could get a few stern looks and hey maybe a few cheeky ones aswell but... Is anyone here going to admit to listening to B&S while they are making love? I imagine that would be the best thing ever! Now for some controversy. Ribena is without doubt fantastic but... but... is it as good as Vimto in a carton. I don't think it is. The Vimto carton maybe smaller but the taste just about wins it for me. Oh and while we are on the subject. Apple Ribena is very unpleasant stuff. Far too sweet, but the Strawberry one is great though and thats sweet. Oh well i am sure there are better things to be talking about, like hats or something.

He was wearing a red ski hat. Joolie said: DDR is better than sex and posts by George Henry Dickey, although I can't guarantee that it's more fun than sex WITH George Henry Dickey, I suppose. Well even with a 10 pages essay you wouldn't make me believe that, sorry. Even if I can't testify either on sex with GHD. I can now tell, though, about DDR in Martin's living room instead of this horrible place in Soho. It is just more quiet but still not that thrilling. I think Peter Miller and Pinefox finally got married and are having a great honeymoon somewhere. If not, why are they so quiet? I started to work in a superstore sport shop last week. So I went to the swimming-pool this week as I got a trauma already with all the swimming costumes and fitness stuff. And I am supposed to look young dynamic and sporty after all. Maybe I'll turn into a Spice Girl in a few weeks. Also because they play Capital FM all day and I caught myself singing along to Atomic Kitten. Now, THAT is scary. Just because I live with a guy called Mike doesn't mean I know stuff about 2001 Troubled Teenagers. So instead of asking me you can ask him, he will tell you himslef that he doesn't know when it will take place. Which won't be very helpful I reckon. My wee brother will be 14 next week. I thought about getting him some silly toys before actually be aware he is going to be 14, and maybe he'd like better fags or a book about how to snog chicks. I so remember changing his Pampers. This week end is: Camera Obscura gig, my best mate visiting, Carey and AllyCook and Carsmile in London: I might explode of excitment before that. If I don't I will then see some of you on Saturday.

AND, it's weird that they need to BURN BURN BURN THE HEATHEN CLOVEN FOOTED BEASTS, since they could contain the virus and vaccinate it (or give it 2 weeks to disappear naturally...)

MONTY PYTHON hmm...i couldnt say which bit was the best, it's all superb... however, radio comedy shows (like the Goons, Just a Minute, I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue et al) have always surpassed most TV comedy. Also, i preferred Fawlty Towers to much of Monty Python. except the xenophobia, but it's an inherent part of being 'British' (i.e. "institutionally racist") RIBENA I have drank this odd concoction only a few times in my life. it is too sugary and excessively coloured. SNOW PATROL 's session on monday was utterly beautiful. plus they play in Bristol on the monday before ATP ATP ATP!!! THE NARROW WIZARD commented on the ladies who discussed his sex drive. he said: "and thirdly I was bloody petrified of them, they were fucking scarry." is this a typo? or was it like Frankenstein's monster chic? The cinnamon thing was always prettier in my mind...but then, does his sex drive incorporate said buggering off? (UK note: don't you love the way Tory lords still call it "buggering"?!) I have to say that, thus far, it's been a beautiful 1 year and 59 minutes. I'd like to extend my thanks to all those who responded to me, instead of beating me into a corner. 1 year and a hour.

Today is my 25th birthday. 25 years ago today was the Kiss concert that my mom had to miss due to my birth. It rained that day--I wish it would rain today. Hmmm, it's Mickey Dolenz's birthday too. I got the LLPJ boxed set as an early birthday gift--god, B+S are incredible! I know that soooo many people have compared them to the Smiths already, but I have to do it again. It's not that they sound like them, but that B+S give me same feeling of awe and love all over again that my first Smiths records gave me when I was 14. And upon hearing "photo jenny", I thought, "oh, how sweet. Stuart has written a song about me." The only thing that could be better is a release of "the lonliness of a middle distance runner". I keep telling people who have no interest in the matter how great it is. I like Big Stu's comment about girls with glasses not being able to see your body when you take them to bed, hee hee! I myself am a bespectacled girl, although there have many periods that I didn't wear them out of vanity. I don't know who wrote this response to Dorothy Parker's famous couplet, but I read it somewhere: "Men who don't make passes At girls who wear glasses Are asses." Hmmm...nothing much going. Work, work, and more work. I've been cobbling together my own little website, the url of which is http://www.envy.nu/sevenveils. A little onanistic venture.

Message-ID: Hello you I've started reading Sinister again after a gap of at least six months, so hello to anyone that remembers me, and hello as well to everyone that doesn't. It's all due to being bored at work, you see. All day long in front of a computer screen does mean that I manage to sneak on to the Internet somewhere in the region of 20 times a day. If you're looking at me to be an accountant, then you can look but you will never see... well, I'm only temping, but at least I now know that accountancy is not for me! As if I didn't already. It's tedious as buggery - in fact probably much more so, buggery probably being anything but tedious.. anyway... So who's going to Camera Obscura this weekend? I'll be there I hope. Say hello. For Lent this year I've given up not seeing bands, as I'm in London every day now, so I have no excuse not to head off after work to dingy little venues and drink overpriced lager. Does anyone know if there's a good website with listings for London gigs? This week I've been mostly listening to The Aislers Set and Kings of Convenience - buy their records now, they're great (or g!r!a!t!e! if you're that way inclined). I have to go now - work beckons.

I think ive been given permission to speak so here i am. It's all pretty scary isnt it, rules and stuff. i am having a nightmare with the old computer today, i feel like im wadding through a sea of muddy computer jism. Me names hannah and im at uni in peckham. It's a bit rough round here, shootings and dead bodies, so b&s are a great medicine to all the madness. "feeling sinister" is perhaps one of my all time favourite albums. I feel under pressure to write lots of profound stuff but err, im no good at that. i tell you what though, that new series " two pints of crisps and a packet of beer" or whatever is absolute SHITE! I was thinking about what they would call it if they followed the life of b&s fans "a bottle of vodka and a packet of bicuits" or " 4 cups of tea, vodka, a sofa and a record player" i dunno? im dead impressed with the merging of eminem and the weakest link, i think it could work. Its great that there are some tindersticks fans amonst you, they played in london afew weeks ago and i missed them (again) if ANYONE knows when they will next play please send me a big message and bug me about it. I also go by the name of "moonmonkey" so if you ever see it on a flyer come and dance for me, im completely pants, you know, putting records on at the wrong speed and mistaking the OFF switch for the headphone switch (oh yes) but it's all about being individual isnt it? anyway, im sure i will interest you all with stuff at some point hello and also goodbye hannah. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Dunno - which way are you headed? Q. If I was a booger, would you blow your nose? A. Probably, or I might pick it instead. Q. Do you know what it feels like for a girl? A. Yeah, it's kinda nice, but also a bit painful. Q. Where have you gone Joe Di'Maggio? A. I'm hanging out with Elvis.

You're right, you know. 100%. No inaccuracies, no grey areas, no wrongness. But, although you're displaying your ration of passion, I feel there is possibly a scarcity in the oftness of your softness. For which, after all, Belle and Sebastian can be an absolute Godsend. I'm talking after-the-fact tenderness, the last act in the trio of vidi, veni, huggi - I saw, I came, I warmly cuddled. The two of you, curtains drawn, lights off, bodies spooned together, skin caressing skin. The yellow leds softly illuminate the room, second replacing second by light replacing light. You both listen, transfixed, voluntarily motionless - you like where you are, you *love* what you hear; a programmed selection of Stuart's softer moments. There's a mate I have that occasionally hosts our usual thursday night of cd ping-pong. I've chosen various tracks from Tigermilk during evenings round his. I've now learnt not to bother asking him where the cd is when I pick up the case and it's empty. Instead, I remember, without thinking, the first time I did. "It's in my bedroom". Try it. For once you may just prove me right. lol p xx. -- -----------------------------*||*-------------------------------- "To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour" "Auguries of Innocence" - William Blake Pete Ramsdale - Unix Systems Administration, UBS Warburg.

Thought I'd write, since there's been a couple of little threads going on which cover two of my favourite things: Monty Python and the Tindersticks (ooh, how about Monty Python sings the Tindersticks, or, even better, the Tindersticks singing The Lumberjack Song? Maybe not...) Good to see everyone has different MP faves. I still love the 'confuse-a-cat' one. Never fails to make me laugh. Though I do agree with Jenowl, the killer joke one is brilliant. As for the Tindersticks, well, yes, Stuart Staples does to a bit of a 'club singer' thing, but I think it works well. Although he did get a bit *too* mumbly for a while (try figuring out most of the words on Curtains - it's kind of a 'mmm, yyh t th mmm nnn...'). The last album was a cracker though - 'Before You Close Your Eyes' is amazing. One of my favourites, though, is the B-side of No More Affairs. It's a great instrumental version, with a trumpet taking over the vocal melody. I think it works far more than the proper one, actually. Although I always feel like I should be nearing the end of a third bottle of wine when I'm listening to it. Never have done, but it just sounds like that's the best way to listen to it. In fact, I think most of their songs sound as though they should be listened to in a miserable, drunken haze at 3 in the morning. Talking of music, does anyone know of any really good albums that have come out this year that I should buy? Nothing's tickled my fancy yet, so I've stuck to the ever reliable old Fall compilations (Psykick Dance Hall is great). Oh, and I bought Rank by The Smiths, finally, a few weeks ago. There's something hilarious about listening to Morrissey try to growl. I particularly love the strange noise he makes before 'Is It Really So Strange?' - a kind of 'eeoow'. I read A Man in Full by Tom Wolfe the other week. It's the longest book I've read in ages. It's very good. The way everything in it builds up is genius. Everyone should read it. Unless they haven't read Catch-22, in which case they should read that first. Everyone should read that. And I mean everyone. I bought a Bill Hicks tape the other day. He makes me laugh. I haven't drunk much recently. This is great for my bank-balance (kind of), but it means every time I go to the pub, I drink 5 pints and get plastered. I can't decide if this is a 'good thing' or not. Getting drunk cheap is grate, but getting too drunk way before the night is over is definitely bad. Perhaps I should take it a bit easier. It's also very embarrassing when I get the bus home and keep falling over every time it moves. Once, I did it so often that someone offered me their seat. How ashamed I was. Almost put me off drink. But not quite. Vodka is far too wonderful a thing to give up. Oh well, I hope I haven't bored everyone to sleep. I'd better be quiet again.

Of course, what we want to know is if anyone will admit to using B&S as the soundtrack to a bit of self-loving? A quick hand shandy to Dirty Dream #2? When this film comes out that B&S have done the soundtrack for, we'll have to see what they're playing during the inevitable sex scene. I'll bet it won't be Isobel doing the singing though. (Incidentally, why do all American people have L-shaped bedsheets? It's just that in every film you see, the sheets always come up to the woman's neck, but only come up to the man's waist...) To Laura Llew, I say just 2 words: If only. There seem to be a lot of Leicester listees crawling out of the woodwork at the moment. I would suggest getting together with the Nottingham posse for a Midlands picnic, but it's bloody freezing outside. After my last post, I feel I should apologise to girls who wear glasses, for suggesting that any of them might want to get into bed with me in the first place.

About three months ago he came up to me and told me how he'd just finished serving a 6 year prison sentence and he'd come to this guy who promised him a job but he wasn't there anymore and he had to get back to where-ever ny 6 or the parole people would chuck him back in the slammer etc etc. Normally I find sob stories an insult to my intelligence; they're usually less than convincing. But this guy did tears and everything, he was really good. So I gave him 30p, which he didn't take too well as he stormed off at this point. To be fair to me I only had 30p. Anyway I saw him yesterday and he did exactly the same routine on me. I thought he lost points for not changing his story over three months, that seems quite lazy. And he *did* storm off again when I have him 40p (the 10p increase might indicate a rise in my social and financial position over the last 3 months. Then again, it might not). But to still be producing fake tears after over three months of doing so several times a day surely deserved my 40p, I thought. Must actors wouldn't manage that surely? His timetable and note telling him where to get his new job could do with being replaced though, it was looking a bit tatty. I'm not sure what this has to do with anything, but there you go.

Message-ID: <20010308150332.25276.qmail@web1607.mail.yahoo.com> Jenowl, could I have the spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, sausage and spam without the spam please? Also, have you tried Ribena and Guinness? It's what men drink in Nigeria, according to my Nigerian ex-boyfriend. It improves the flavour of the Guinness just enough for me to stomach it, anyway, so it can be a useful resort when the Ayingerbrau is off. Desmond Torpey asked > ...whats peoples opinion on terris? I got very drunk at the Blur B-sides gig in London last year (or was it the year before? How time flies...) and got chatted up by one of Terris, the one who looks like a bulldog, and Richard Parfitt from the 60ft Dolls. I like to call him Rick Parfitt in homage to Status Quo. Anyway, they asked if I fancied going back to their hotel to 'continue drinking' and I considered it for all of... oh, half a second before deciding to get the bus home instead. That's my Terris story. Mikey talked about conmen, which amused me because I thought I was the only person being regularly accosted by a conman. Well, conboy to be exact, as he looks about twelve, is fairly portly and has extremely rosy cheeks and puppy dog eyes. He's also a bit grubby. Anyway, he came up to me at the bus stop by Finsbury Park station last autumn and explained he'd lost his money and couldn't get home to his mum. I, being of a more generous nature than stingeboy Mikey, forked out a whole £1.80 for his tube ticket. Then, in January, the same young scamp approached me again with exactly the same story. "You're lying", I said. "No I'm not," he replied. "Yes you are, you told me the same story a couple of months ago". He just wandered off and asked somebody else. I know he's young and naive, but rush hour is not the time to be employing con techniques as commuters are the likeliest people to be caught twice, aren't they? Anyway, Nick, Lixi, anybody else who uses Finsbury Park station, look out for grubby rosy cheek conboy! Strange Fruit this weekend should be ace, not least because the Mighty Obscura are playing. I also think it will be the first time all my chalet-rinas will meet each other. Top of the agenda will doubtless be who's bringing what bouze. What else could it be? I'm still not sure what shoes I should wear though... Juicy Lucy ps. Chris, you're not a cunt __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

No? Oh well. Spurred into action by Marc posting, and the sudden realisation that I have *time* to post at the moment, stuck at home as I am with a touch of a gastric-flu-type-thingy (don't worry, it's not catching via email) and bored to the point of even considering some light housework a viable option, I decided it was time to make myself known again. I have in fact been living off Ribena for the last four days, so can testify to its tastiness, nourishing qualities and general attractive purpliness. And if you lie in bed, hold your glass of Ribena up to the light and look through it, it's very pretty indeed. I've been doing a lot of that kinda thing this week. Yes Hodottir, after our recent discussions of the hideous stomach bugs awaiting Joe and I in Egypt, I have actually managed to come down with one the week before we go. Still, onto more savoury matters... like sex to B&S! It's fab! Try it! If you're anything like me, you don't really notice what you're listening to *during*, but it's more of a consideration before and after, and Belle and Sebastian can be perfect for those moments of closeness. Marc, if you're drinking five pints of vodka, it's no wonder you get plastered and fall over on the bus. No need to give it up, just reduce the quantity, and try beer in your pint glass instead. The best thing - in fact the only good thing - about being ill is the vivid and mental dreams I'm having as a result. Last night I dreamt for hours and hours that I was a cat and I was climbing up a neverending roof. The rooftiles all had pictures of pop star faces on them, S Club 7 and the new look Mel B featured prominently, but I didn't care cos I was a cat and just wanted to reach the top. I don't recall any members of B&S, however when I was ill a couple of weeks ago (yes, I'm a sickly little thing of late) I dreamt that Stuart and Stevie came snorkelling with us in Egypt, and then played a gig in Dahab just for me an' my Sinister boy.

Message-ID: <29.117e2729.27d90fb4@aol.com> For your consideration: RIBENA I too am a Ribena purist, eschewing all other flavours or varieties (inc. 'toothkind' - it just tastes of dentist). I was once distraught when buying my customary Greggs pastie and carton of Ribena and had to opt for 'light' as the good stuff was sold out. Also, have you ever had a bottle of Ribena in your cupboard so long that it turned into a viscous dark brown liquid? I don't recommend it. Oh yeah, warm Ribena....Mmmm. BOOKS Other than Catch 22, how about some suggested reading for someone whose appetite for Bret Easton Ellis, Donna Tartt, Douglas Coupland and Chuck Palahniuk needs new words? The SE London Sinister Massive Nice to see there's yet more of us in the area, including one from my alma mater, Goldsmiths. Do they still do Club Sandwich at the union? And if so, is it still terrible? Monty Python Hmm, can never remember my favourites, except maybe Njorl's Saga, the afforementioned Mrs Conclusion meets JP Sartre and every single "it's...". And Ken Shabby. 2001 TT As my new press secretary Ms Elena has mentioned, I do not know any dates for this event yet, just that the plan was to do it when there were some new records to play, therefore it looks ever more likely. Rest assured, there'll be plenty of notice/hoo-ha when it's definite. SEXY SONGS Although I've yet to try it, I recall Sean Hughes once recommending The Wedding Present.....erm, frantic rhythms and all that. I've said too much...

Should I have not revealed that? There's not enough grubby these days. Museums, for instance are far too clean. They should be filled with grime and people shouldn't be afraid of getting themselves muddy. When, I wonder was the last time I was in a puddle, or barefoot. I was barefoot this morning, but that's because I don't sleep in my shoes. I mean, muddy fields barefoot. I believe it was at Glastonbury. Fucking hippy. But, there's always people wanting my money. Sometimes it annoys me and I tell them to fuck off. I did that the other day and this man chased me. We had a bit of a chat and he went away.He did have a point though; I am a stingy person. Therefore, days later, on the mean streets of Oxford, when accosted I decided to be generous. Unluckily, I really had no money on me, and was dead dead poor. I'd had to break into my last pound coin so to have money for the phone. The cheapest thing to buy was some chips. So I had some chips and 12p. I tried to explain that for once I really couldn't spare any change. I reckoned 12p was insulting. I gave it them anyway, plus a cigarette. Further down the street I was stopped again. It was a bloody cold night and I felt mean so I gave him my chips. I don't think they were conmen. I didn't want the chips anyway. But, I dye cress. If I was capable of uncontrolled excitement; that's how I would be feeling about ATP. However, seeing as last time I tried to go it got cancelled, I am not going to look forward to it at all. This weekend is going to be hell. Not only is that bloody Ally Cook going to be here, but I have to work each day and still find the energy to go out. I'll probably go out straight from work, which means I will smell of cheddar. It's not the most popular scent. I listened Tigermilk the other day. The State I Am In is stunning. I was surprised. I never remembered it being that good. Anyway. I should go home now. I will see some of you at the weekend. Everyone else, well, whatever. lix.x _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Is there anything a young (21) boy can do that won't involve baseball caps or goths? I'm friendly and deceptively small. The account of the shh secret gig was indeed marvellous. You lucky lucky people. But I did see them at the bowlie. but I had a broke foot at the time and I couldn't dance. Lucky for everyone else there though as i am a very bad dancer. anyway it sounded brilliant. I have done nothing for days and days. And nothing has happened until B&S cause an earthquake then they make plans for singles and tours. Stu Dave's book out soon. It's all too much. It's all happening much too fast. Then I bought Stephen Malkmus' first. I'm all on a high when the bank send me a threatening letter. And my flatmate will see the kings of convinience before me. Anyway the end of a ramble.

The guardians of all that is good and pure in this crazy crazy world, Guinness Breweries plc have invested a vast sum of monies in studying the way we drink and it seems I'm very much the protective over-pint-huncher. Anyway for those with way too much time of their hands feel free to evaluate your current drinking style at http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/dynamic/food/review.html?in_review_id=369265&i n_review_text_id=314654 Ian Beale.... pah, it'll never happen. Anyway "Hi again Sinister" is must be about 6 months since I last posted, I went away and had to unsub for a month or so and are only now just getting back into the swing of things but it's good to be back. I've missed out on lots though so will have to fight the nagging feeling of incompleteness I sometimes get when I'm not 100% sure what's going on or where I am. I never quite got around to listening to Chris's MP3s, but I guess if the band and Jeep'sta didn't want the MP3s circulating then that's fine as they pretty much own them. Isn't the standard ROCK response to dodgy quality bootlegs to release an official live recording ?, I certainly hope that happens one day but right now I'm just excited about all this talk of live dates as I've missed out the last few times they've played in London, admittedly due to poor planning on my part. I always arrange holidays when a band I like is touring and unfortunately airlines take a dim view of people trying to claim refunds "cos the Gentle Waves are in town", Hefner are of course a totally different kettle of fish. Various lovely people have been talking about con-persons, well completely by accident I think I've come across the perfect defence - pretend you're French. You might scoff but it really does work & the only thing you've got to watch out for is the ever present danger that the con-er speaks better French than the you (which sadly in my case means anyone who can spell "croissant" without the aid of a spellchecker) so I recommend having another more obscure nationality ready to fall back on, something South American perhaps ?. The success rate for this clever ruse is direct related to the distance you are away from France so it's iffy at best in much of Western Europe , but never fails in the US of A. I received an email today from a pal which somehow got me thinking how I'd like to end up as an old codger. Obviously we can't all be John Peel, for starters there's just no demand for a million of them and I think Carsmile Steve has received a formal offer so the rest of us are plain out of luck, so instead I've decided to be Rod Stewart. It had to be someone who's slightly cheeky and a wee bit of a hit with the laydees, I briefly considered Peter Stringfellow but he's just too tacky and lacks Rod's sophistication and massive popular appeal. So it's all decided then, when I hit 45 (thankfully many years away) I'll trade in my jeans and t-shirts for classy well tailored suits and before you know it I'll be fighting off Super Models and fledgling Hollywood Starlets. I'm quite looking forward to it. There may also be a brief flirtation with classic Oliver Reed-dom... but I'm still undecided on that. Ok I must go before I outstay my welcome. Thanks for having me, anyone need a hand with the washing up ?

When the hell is spring coming so I can have a vacation! I think the sun is not in my sign. That was something I read in my horoscope 3 years ago, that the sun was IN my sign. I had one of the best months in recent memory! *sigh* yeah it was July. I guess everyone's astrological months have ups and downs. Anywho...B&S content: That request from the band to take off those mp3's was scary. What I mean by that is what if I post a message here saying I have something like that or whatever, then they don't like it...I feel as though they will send some creepy men in suits to my front door and say 'Come with us please.' So what's the deal with the B&S badges? I don't have any, and can't get them in shops or anything here in the states. So if anyone has any extras they are willing to part with and can send me, I'd be your best friend. I'd also be happy to send you a copy of some album I have, as kind of a trade thing. Milla talked about Mojave 3, who I really like as well. Funny though because I don't get the same feeling from the album. While some find it happy(I can't really see why), I find it beautiful but downright depressing. I always put it on when I'm in for a sob session. I read somewhere once that Mojave 3 do 'americana' better than most americans. While that may be arguable, I certainly think they got it right. It's the kind of music you put on while driving down an Arizona freeway, with the wind in your hair, as the sun sets. Rachel Goswell's singing on 'Bringin' Me Home' is the most gorgeous track on there.When she sings: 'Another rainy day here in my usual place Where no one loves me.' well, my heart goes to pieces. Monty Python: Fave moment was in a Mr. Equator sketch. 'What's brown and sounds like a bell? Dung!' Yes yes that was very cheesy but the way Eric Idle said it..timeless. Nice to see some Tindersticks talk! I love the band..but that Isabella Rosellini duet was cringe-worthy. By the way, Stuart Staples looks amazingly like the father (his name escapes me) in 'The Sound of Music.' In related news, I was on amazon.com trying to find the Chris and Carla album, and it said 'This item will be released on January 1, 2010. You may order it now and we will ship it to you when it arrives. ' That's a damn long wait. xxMichelle mmmitten ===== Happiness is no fun -Vivre sa Vie __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!

Here's *my* con man story. My mother and I had just purchased some burritos and were sitting in her car eating them. It was quite late at night, the area seedy. A short mustachioed fellow, poorly dressed, approached us and said that he'd had a flat tire a few streets over, and that his wife and baby were in the car. He admitted that he was drunk, and apologized for the fact. He asked us to take him to the store and give him $5 for some Fix-a-Flat. We agreed, although I said, "How do we know you're not a serial killer?" He was offended, and said that we could strip search him, and then assumed a flamingo-like pose on one foot that was supposed to be cute, and said, "Not that I'd mind...." On the way to the store, he said that, on second thought, the flat was too bad to be repaired with Fix-a-Flat, and we should instead take him to his friend's apartment, who would give him a tire. My mom offered to pick up his wife and baby so they wouldn't have to wait alone, and he was very much opposed to the idea. We started to realize that the wife and baby were fictious. So we took him to friend's apartment, and he went inside, then came out and said he needed more money. We didn't want to give it to him, but we felt bullied, so we counted out the last of our change. He told us not to leave, and then went back inside. I looked sidelong at my mom and said, "You know, we could just drive off....." Her foot hesitated over the gas pedal. "Let's do it!", I urged. We did. Afterwards, we made a pact never to tell the rest of the family about it....and we never did. On other subjects....Big Stu, don't be so hard on yourself--*I* have the market cornered on self-deprecation. I never thought of seeking out boys with glasses so they couldn't see me nekkid--I used the classic light switch ruse. As the old Roman proverb goes, "all cats are grey in the dark." B+S content-- I couldn't listen to them today because the batteries in my Walkman died. I was peeved, oh yesss, you can be sure of that. Weird fact: young lab rats laugh in ultrasound when tickled and when engaging in horseplay in what appears to be evidence of mirth in the animal kingdom. love, Jenny Janitoria __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I am going to strange fruit this Sat, at the recommendation of a certain Mr Car-y-Smiles (thank you, btw), and I was wondering how I might recognise any of you horrible lot, cos I'd really like to meet you in the flesh. and to continue the ribena debate- ribena and milk would be funny cos its a bit acidic, and some might say that's a funny combination with dairy. But it does lead me onto my recipe for instant mango lassi- 2/3 a glass of milk pour in (slowly!) about 1/3 glass mango juice. Add a little cinnamon. the taste is like no other. O and b&s and sex DO go. Maybe a bit like ribena and milk- weird and most people might not approve at first taste, but just try it...

I left my cell, my pager and my home phone at the bottom. I sent two e-mails back in autumn, you must not-a got 'em. There probably was a problem with the mail server or something. Sometimes I type addresses with typos when I dot'em but anyways fuck it what's been up? Man how's Isobel? Well I haven't got a girlfriend I'm just looking for the girl for me. If I have a girlfriend, guess what I'm gonna call her? I'm gonna nickname her Isobel. I read about your rectorship too I'm sorry. I had a friend who got upset over some uni who didn't want him. I know you hear this everyday, but I'm your biggest fan. I even got the underground shit that you did with Wham! I got a room full of hand drawn pictures of you man. I like the shit you did with Maisonettes that shit was fat. Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back, just to chat.

I ain't mad - I just think it's FUCKED UP you don't play gigs as a band. If you didn't want to play any concerts, you didn't have to, but you coulda let more people into your last gig. I go to Notts Uni man, that's not that far from Glasgow. I waited for this one gig for you for two years and you just said "No." That's pretty shitty man, you're like my fucking idol. I want to be just like you man, I like you more than I like Dido. I ain't that mad though, I just don't like being lied to, remember when we met on #sinister, you said if I'd write you you would write back - see i'm just like you in a way, I never had much friends in uni neither, I used to talk to my imaginary friend and kiss her. I can relate to what you're saying in your songs, so when I have a shitty day, I drift away and put em on cause I don't really got shit else so that shit helps when I'm depressed. I even got a badge on with your name across the chest, Sometimes I even lick the railings to see how much it's diseased, it's like the fungi, the stuff that cause a sudden rush in me. See everything you say is real, and I respect you cause you tell it. My imaginary friend is jealous cause I talk about you 24/7, but she doesn't know you like I know you sturan, no one does, she don't know what it was like for people like us growing up, you gotta call me man, I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose.

Hey Sturan, I drank red bull with quadruple vodkas, you daer me to typpe? You know the song by Spodgenessabounds: "Two pints of lager and a packet of crisps" about that guy who coulda got served at the bar, but didn't, then it was closing time and he didn't get served? This is kinda how this is, I could have seen a gig by you, now it's too late - I'm on 1000 red bulls now - I'm hyper, and all I wanted was a lousy concert in a hall. I hope you know I ripped ALL of my hand drawn pictures of you off the wall. I love you sturan, me and Isobel coulda been together, think about it. You've ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it. And when you dream I hope you can't sleep and you SCREAM about it. I hope your conscience EATS AT YOU and you can't BREATHE without me. See Sturan.... Shut up office assistant I'm trying to type! Hey Sturan, that's my computer bleeping on the desk, but I didn't close the window, I just played Beyond the Sunrise on the CD Drive.

About the MP3s. Firstly, I don't think Jeepster even know the MP3s were up. It wasn't their decision to get them taken down. It was the band that wanted them removed. Put quite simply, the MP3s were a pish recording of a patchy gig. Chris himself admitted he'd plugged the mic into the the wrong hole on his minidisc. Pickle Prince, this has fuck all to do with money or commodities or Napster or anything like that. Most of us were well in favour of Napster, and some used it regularly. I agree that ideas are free, but if the person who had the idea decides it wasn't a good one, and decides not to disseminate it, surely that's their freedom? All your talk of artistic freedom is total bollocks if it doesn't include the artist's right to decide what is a finished piece of work, and what is an experiment that isn't fit to be made available under their name. The point is that the band have the right to have some control over how they are presented. If we'd like something to be made available, and think it is good enough for people to hear, then we'll make it available. For instance, there's the "Black Sessions" CD. I don't know who is manufacturing it, so I couldn't stop them even if I wanted to, but it's not too bad. You see it about quite a bit. I've got a copy of it. I almost wish there wasn't an MP3 of "Middle Distance Runner" going around. That's a song that's not finished, because it's not very good the way it is now. It will come out at some point, and it will be much better then. But we made the mistake of giving it to the BBC to play for a special. We put it in the public domain, and we live with the consequences of that. Fair enough. "Lord Anthony" isn't finished yet either, but we haven't gone chasing people over that, so to suggest we've gone all fascist is obviously nonsense. But the MP3s of last week's gig were totally shite. It was a bit of fun on a Wednesday afternoon, which the band spent about an hour rehearsing for. It was hopefully fun if you were there, but having heard the recording of it I can safely say it's probably not something anyone would put on to listen to of an evening. We don't think they're of any value whatsoever, so we don't want them available. It's an artistic decision, and if you can't respect our right to that, then hard luck. I mean, it's hardly fucking Metallica is it? We don't have teams of lawyers searching the 'net 24 hours a day. But Chris is a friend of the band so we've asked him nicely to take it down and he's done so. I'm sorry Chris feels like a cunt. I think that's totally unnecessary. As I said, Chris is a friend of the band, and I feel bad making him look like a scapegoat, because he has done both myself and the band several favours in the past, and we owe him far more than he owes us. No-one's angry with him or anything. No harm done. I'm sorry to the people who couldn't be at the gig. I can understand people wanting to hear what the gig sounded like, especially since it's been so long, and people very rarely get the chance to hear the band live. But there will be plenty of gigs later in the year. Doubtlessly some people won't be able to make these either, so if a decent recording of a decent gig gets posted up, we won't feel so inclined to have it removed. And that's how it is.

That type of shit'll make me not want us to meet each other. I really think you and your imaginary friend need each other or maybe you just need to treat her better.

Stuart David tried to warn me about Sinister and its freaks but I thought it�d be ok since I like pasty-faced vegan geeks. I just don't want you to do some crazy shit like I seen this one loser on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick: Some dude was hyped up on red bulls & vodka and he short circuited his computer when it drowned in drool. I thought only disturbed people like that listened to Magnetic Fields & Jewel. Come to think about, his name was.. it was you. DAMN!

I hope Chris doesn't feel like a cunt anymore, because he's not. It's completely understandable that he had something special and wanted to share it with us, and also understandable that the band didn't want us to hear something that they weren't proud of. I don't think thay're beng fascists about it--seems to me that they are much more lenient about such matters than many other bands are. I have to disagree about the "middle distance runner" mp3--I think it *is* very good. Very very good. And if the final version is going to be better, then I'll probably listen to it every day for six months. --Jenny Janitoria P.S. Monty Python....I heard a recording once about an architect who, to the horror of his client, was designing the building to kill people....impaling them with spikes, etc. I don't remember much about it now, but I thought it was incredibly funny. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Message-ID: <23.882ce50.27dad775@aol.com> "jiggle jiggle jiggle i like to see you wiggle can i have a fiddle?" Louis Theroux. undiscovered rap genius. Yes i've been watching Louis Theroux's weird weekends, that was his attempt at writing a rap, and its stuck in my head. Not as good a rapper as Robbie Williams "i spy with my little eye", but then Robbie is a professional, he's won 13 Brit awards in his time so he must be good. I read in the N.M.E that the Rough Trade 25 year anniversary album is out, and i quote "ultimately, this is a four-cd, 56 track almighty testament to how lame, suffocated, fire'n' imagination free the indie-rawk mentality has become" And this week on the cover of the N.M.E is the Stereophonics, is this what the meaning of ironic is? There's some cracking tunes on the Rough Trade compy though,incuding The Smiths "Hand in glove" Robert Wyatts "Shipbuilding" and Television Personalities "Part time punks" and some dubious tracks too, but in general i would say its worth a look at,and a listen to. The way i look at things nothing much has changed in the last 10 or 15 years, there are great bands out there you just have to look, its no good waiting for the N.M.E to deliver bands to you, because you'll be waiting a long time, i still read it though, more so out of general habit and once in a while i will read something interesting. I like listening to music, all kinds of music, i have in the past been accused of being a musical snob, but that just isn't true, i'm more of a musical mercenary, i have no favourite bands, i will listen to a band as long as they produce the goods, the moment they stop delivering i will stop buying the records, simple really. I read in someone's post about "random acts of kindness",which makes me think that someone somewhere must have set up a counter group, lets say "random acts of hatred", i think my neighbour is the founder member of the random acts of hatred society, last week without any provocation he thought it would be a good idea to empty the contents of 2 binliners on my doorstep, when i confronted him about it, he was very pleased with himself and his handywork,he forgot how old he was and sidled up to me wagging his finger, telling me to "go back from where i came from, and in this country we put our bins out on time" i had no idea he was harbouring so much hatred for me,whats even worse is that the bins weren't even mine! he had jumped to conclusions. I must admit, i have been planning to get back at him, but you know what, why should i waste the time and energy on this bitter and twisted man, he obviously hates me, i've given him no reason to hate me, he hates me because of the colour of my skin, why should i respond to that, so now i've calmed down i have decided not to respond, it'll drive him crazy wondering why i haven't responded to his act of hatred, and probably keep him awake at night. As the saying goes "always mess with their heads" wisdom according to Lucas. Well that's me done, i've had my vent, maybe next time i might even have some b&s content, i've been away for a while, so give me a break. take care popkids... primitive painter. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I hope I wasn't too much of an animal Message-ID: Glad tidings all, This is my first post. I am so glad to have a voice. Ever since I joined the list I have wanted to let the all of you know that I am filled with love and admiration each time I read your posts. Getting to do so is a good capper to a downright gruesome day. I am thrilled to be in contact with so many b&s fans. I only know one other near me and he is the first boy I ever truly liked, and the first boy to break my heart. Ah sweet melancholy... Various quasi-contenti bits: I had my dad listen to If your feeling sinister today. He thought "Get my away I'm dying" was "Get me away Aunt Diane." A mishearing I found especialy amusing, double plus because I have an Aunt Diane and I am certain that she could never get me away. There's been talk of dreams a bit and one of mine has some relevance so I thought I'd share. We've been getting quite alot of snow here in CT and my dreams seem to be focusing on that. In this particular one I was being harassed by a certain Man from Maine while making a futile attempt to shovel my driveway. He was razzing me about being a snow wuss, that they don't even bat an eye when snow falls like this in Maine. I didn't really mind, but then he started making personal attacks, calling me an idiot connecticutian and then telling me that my curly hair looked ridiculous with snow caught in it. It was then that the Man from Maine received a faceful of snow. Now the relevant thing aboot this dream was that it's soundtract was the first three songs from Tigermilk in order. I've had dreams with songs, even dreams with subtitles, but never a soundtrack before. A very exciting development. I like cheese. Be my friend. I hope that was a decent first post. Be well.

Message-ID: <001f01c0a9f6$247266a0$4e1ba5d8@nyu.edu> There's been a lot of talk about Ribena lately, and while I'm not a fan of it, nor can I purchase it in my country, I hear that if you buy a certain amount of 2 liter bottles of Ribena you get a little beanie ribena berry with antennae. What a bargain, says Martin Robinson, yummy Ribena and a beanie berry alien. Why can you buy juice in 2 liter bottles there, and also what is a blackcurrant?? You brits are weird. Yesterday I went to see Get Over It, Kirsten Dunst's illustrious teen-comedy follow up to Bring! It! On! I wasn't expecting much, but little Kirsten didn't let me down. This movie has Shakespeare, Sisqo, and the Big Red theme song. Go see it immediately. I found out that you can play DDR Euromix on a US playstation with just the minor annoyance of it being horribly offbeat. Anyway, I have nothing to say really, I just thought you might want to know about the Ribena aliens. OH I almost forgot!! Belle & Sebastian are mentioned twice in the Smash Hits special issue for the Brits (aptly titled "Smash Brits"). 1) In an article entitled "AAAARGH!! (Uh oh! It's the bits the BRITs would like to forget...)" "1999: Belle & Sebastian's triumph. What Went Wrong? Unrecognizable duo (one in ill-fitting safari suit) beat Steps and Five in Best Newcomer award despite having sold very few records. Excuse Given: Hey, the public voted for this award. (Even though it was largely nerdy students on the Net influencing the vote in rum way) Upshot: Steps and Five both won Brits in 2000 anyway." Oooh, Honey did you hear that?? Smash Hits called us nerdy students! *sob* 2) A photo of Mick and Richard is captioned "Belle & Sebastian: Left to right - Belle, Sebastian (You're sacked - Ed.)" (Smash Hits is no stranger to the fake editorial comment!) The article says "...The Sun newspaper had found out in advance about Robbie Williams' three Brits and the arguments continued when Belle & Sebastian beat Steps to the Best British Newcomer award." Not very interesting. It doesn't seem like the pop world or the Bible Of Pop (aka Smash Hits) will ever get over that award.

Embarrassed myself first by thinking it was sold out (but I was in the queue for downstairs!) Not as packed as last time in the end. The Lollies took some stick but they were quite sweet. There was some jocular debate as to whether they sucked or not. Camera Obscura were excellent, even better than I expected. I don't know much about them as I only saw them once two years ago & they were pretty different then anyway. The things that made a particularly strong first impression were a couple of the songs (80's Fan & Swimming Pool) & the lead guitarist. There was a Sinister couple of rows at the front: Big Gay Mark, Ally, Lucy, Carey, The Pinefox, Le Troussé, Elena, Elena's mate whose name I can't remember, Sally, Geoff, Suzie & Richard. Also peresent were Lixi, Carsmile, Chris & Neck Dastoor. As usual, apologies to anyone I've omitted. Details fans may be interested in a description of Camera Obscura's seriously solicitous soundman, who strangely received more autograph requests than the band. Freckled arms of sex at first covered by a checked blouson, later half revealed in a striped short-sleeved United States Postal Service (?) shirt. Also sporting the trousers from a dinner suit with those satin ribons down the side seams. I guess that elasticated bit at the back of the waistband helps get the necessary proper snug fit. The ensemble completed by Doc Martens (according to Lucy) I hope Stuart wasn't too embarrassed humping the gear off the stage as DJ "Chest-01" Casarotto played Electronic Rennaissance & the room jumped about. There's Too Much Love got an airing later but I think he was safely hidden backstage by then. I guess everyone danced all night like soul boys but I had to leave at 1 a.m. to go home. In the car I thought about Pop Kids & so did The Pinefox. Strange Fruit's music policy is described as "Off-kilter indie". Ask Lucy whether off-kilter is an adjective or a noun ;) Love, David Moore Chelmsford, UK +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Kara Jean told us: >Now the relevant thing aboot this dream was that it's soundtract was the >first three songs from Tigermilk in order. I've had dreams with songs, >even dreams with subtitles, but never a soundtrack before. A very >exciting development. Coincidentally, last week i had a dream completely soundtracked by Belle & Sebastian, however, the songs had all been strangely altered. For example, I was riding my bus when I turned "Boy Done Wrong Again" on my discman, but it was far more uptempo than i remembered it, it was quite odd. But not as odd as the fact that George Harrison was in my dream, except he was young, and he had brought me a bunch of rare songs. Rare Weezer and B&S songs. The best part of this dream was waking up. I've started reading Kafka's "The Trial", thanks to many of your recommendations. I've only got about 30 pages to go, and it's probably the best book i've read this year. But then again, it's only March. Marikka said: >oh, and for anyone in los angeles, in particular those >who claim to be fans of weezer, odds are in favor of >the band making an appearance at the cd release party >for ozma on the 23rd. but you should go for the sweet >guys of ozma anyway. I'm not in LA but i strongly recommend anyone around there to check this out. Even if =weezer= doesn't show, you'll be hearing Ozma's new album, and they're grate. Has anyone seen weezer on this tour? I had an odd moment at school last week. I spend most of my time listening to music anyway, and at that moment i was (surprisingly...) listening to Belle & Sebastian. Fold Your Hands, in fact. I've given up trying to introduce most people to B&S...they just don't listen properly. But that day, a girl came up to me and asked what i was listening to. She's a nice girl but she listens to Marilyn Manson. I didn't know quite what to do. My cdplayer was in my pocket (i've got big pockets, but not for pharmaceuticals, ho ho) and so i fumbled around trying to find a song that would introduce B&S to her properly. Instead, i managed to end up on Waiting For the Moon to Rise, which is a lovely song but not quite the introduction i was searching for. She was less than impressed. But that's quite alright I suppose. Being alone's got its advantages. I am terribly jealous of all of you who have tried Ribena. The new thing going 'round here is absinthe, which has just been legalized, but i've yet to try it. Any advice about that? Love always, Mike K. __________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape Webmail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: Aahhh Steps. It is the curse of genius to be misunderstood by average minds. Fear not, one day you will be recognized for your invaluable contribution to the pop landscape and those tuneless hacks in Belle & Whoever will appear only as an asterisk to your brilliant career. I know it hurts now, but remember, praise is fleeting but you, Steps, are timeless. I had all kinds of musical goodies to talk about here but it seems Marikka has gone and stolen my thunder. She saw Doves on Wednesday, I saw them on Friday (in a tough choice over Stephen Malkmus who was also in town but they did not make me feel at all sorry). She's talking about Weezer playing in San Francisco, well guess where I'm headed this weekend to see said band? Damn her if she beats me to recounting all the witty stage banter to you all. no, i don't really mean that. So, with those particular strings of discussion cut off, I will regale you with stories of my dreams. It's rather rare that I remember them but last week I had one where I was conscripted to play drums for a band in a talent show whose regular drummer had broken his arm. As soon as I sat behind the kit I found out why; there was a big wooden post just to the right that I slammed my elbow into everytime I went to play the floor tom. That was the least of my worries though. I was more concerned about playing that reggae-ish beat in "The Tide is High". Did I mention we had to do nothing but Blondie covers? Distressing. Last night I had another dream in which I was on the show Survivor and I and some of my fellow castaways decided to escape the island. We could see a beach resort across the sea and made our way over to it, each of us floating along in our own chest of drawers. We were heading towards the opposite beach when one of the others (a girl I'd gone to high school with) asked me: "Just where is that anyway?" "I think it's Thailand." "Well, let's not go there. Let's go to San Francisco instead." And sure enough, if I looked to my right i could see SF, almost no farther away. The best thing about this dream is that I now know for sure that I dream in color, the sea was very blue and so were our unlikely vessels. Is dreaming in color supposed to indicate anything about a person? Is it true that some people don't? And would that be related to the state of visual media technology? What do blind people's dreams look like? That's all for now. Except of course to make an embarrassing confession that only you, my list, will understand. At work the other day I listened to Fox in the Snow four times in a row thinking that I might never hear a song so beautiful and sad. Then The Boy Done Wrong Again came on (it was on shuffle) and I discovered I had been wrong. Rinaldo SEMI-IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO LIST MEMBERS: a while back there was mention of some listmember's breasts which were to be later posted on the body parts page. They're not there yet I don't think but that's not important (but it's not UN-important either). What is important is that there are now something like 20,000 of us on here now (yippee!) but the photos page is woefully under-representative (I think there are like 60 pictures of five different people). Of course this is not mandatory but I think we need to be a little more out and proud with ourselves here. Besides, I worry that Honey doesn't have enough to do. I think it would be cool if more of us put something up there; it doesn't even have to be you (but if you choose Dorothy Parker try to make it a different photo), it could be a stickperson drawing, action figure, favorite object (but if you choose a packaged beverage you should probably not use Ribena or RedBull because certain other members have I think got the copyright)...you get the idea. I of course plan to lead by example.

I have an extreme love for random titles, as anyone who has visited my Livejournal could easily attest to. Now today I was fishing through the list archives, as I am prone to do when I have a paper to write, and I came upon Laura Llew's Lovely List of La La La. In it she wrote>> 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. I can't tell you how excited I was to find that something I had said was mentioned on the list long before I discovered it for myself. My Uncle Johnny would be glad to know that his denny's wisdom was appreciated. That establishment has been living up to its reputation lately. A friend of mine was hit on by boys in tuxes there. We were going to see on of them last night, but thought better of it and resorted to our usually random acts of petty vandalism. We threw peas that I had bought last summer for an art project, but never used (I used mixed beans instead,) at the house of some one who has given us aggrivation. I apologize to what pea enthusiasts there may be for the waste. Now for some vaguely conent-inental words: The other day I was looking through the sinister photos, as I am prone to do when I have a paper to write, and looking upon the smiling faces and soccer of the sinister picnics and I thought to my self "Self, it sure would be nice if we could attend such a gathering, but the UK is very hard to get to by car, and never mind the price of gas in the atlantic ocean." My self called me a cheapskate, but otherwise agreed. So if there are any fellow connecticut dwellers, massachusettsians, rhode islanders, or anyone for that matter who agrees with my self and I, well then we ought to have a picnic as well. Oh, and I am quite intrigued by this ribena that seems to be so popular. I just got some chinese black currant tea and enjoyed it immensely. Still, my liquid meal of choice is usually sobe green tea.

I think my brain is too filled up with song lyrics. References to family trees going back to the Romans, it all belonging to Cesar, and St. Etienne keep popping into my head, and I can't help but run through the songs in my head. Its a sickness I think. I don't think I've learned anything of consequence since grade school. I just remember things like why the rulers of Russia called themselves Czars (because it means Cesar and they believed themselves to be the heirs to Byzantium (Rome)). Oh well, it doesn't really matter. People keep mentioning the Pixies (I think I did initiate it though, so I'll comment) and I'm all about that. The Pixies only making it to no. 81 is a travesty that should be remedied immediately! They reinvented rock when it most needed to be reinvented. We owe them so much. BTW, 'Pixies fuckin' Die!' is an awesome tribute and I strongly recommend everyone get it. You haven't lived until you've heard the goth version of no. 13 baby. I can't wait until we're all 30 something (I'm sure some of us are already though) and listening to Belle & Sebastian tributes. I haven't decided which song would get the Goth make over yet, but my preliminary winner is 'If you're feeling Sinister'. What do you all think? Now I have to go listen to all the albums and singles and decide how each song would be covered. :) -- Tim Malone currently listening to 'Motherless Child' by Tom Jones, featuring Portishead. I've never really been a Tom Jones fan, but I'm obsessed with this track. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

You see, I've always been a fan of treble; a little hiss and dustbin-lid sound. I think this comes from spending so much of my life, especially when I was younger, lying in bed with my headphones on, listening to some cloudy sounds on my tiny radio, and holding it above my head to clear the fuzz. I'd listen to it until I fell asleep, missing Peel saying goodnight, and the shipping forecast, and the sound being obscured by hiss as the transmitter moved out of line. Neil Robertson just said... ...well, he said a lot of things that are totally fair dinkum, especially all that about artistic integrity. Although we're always moaning about new singles taking so long there's something special about having to wait until a certain date before a song is released. Like waiting for Christmas morning, or the last day of school. I heard Fold Your Hands... before it was released and it wasn't half as exciting when it finally came out. Mind you, I don't think I'd place any of the live recordings I have of any songs above the proper versions. It's just nice to listen to them now and again, and hear the atmosphere and different hamonies, and a luscious lot of treble and hiss. Anyway, I don't think we can complain...

Message-ID: <002201c0aad4$5f2012a0$0101a8c0@pavilion> I was asked to parrot a poem, so I give you some Bukowski: an almost made up poem I see you drinking at a fountain with tiny blue hands, no, your hands are not tiny they are small, and the fountain is in France where you wrote me that last letter and I answered and never heard from you again. you used to write insane poems about ANGELS AND GOD, all in upper case, and you knew famous artists and most of them were your lovers, and I wrote back, "it's all right, go ahead, enter their lives, I'm not jealous because we've never met. we got close once in New Orleans, one half block, but never met, never touched." so you went with the famous and wrote about the famous, and, of course, what you found out is that the famous are worried about their fame -- not the beautiful young girl in bed with them, who gives them THAT, and then awakens in the morning to write upper case poems about ANGELS AND GOD. we know God is dead, they've told us, but listening to you I wasn't so sure. maybe it was the upper case. you were one of the best female poets and I told the publishers, editors, "print her, print her, she's mad but she's magic. there's no lie in her fire." I loved you like a man loves a woman he never touches, only writes to, keeps little photographs of. I would have loved you more if I had sat in a small room rolling a cigarette and listened to you pee in the bathroom, but that didn't happen. your letters got sadder. your lovers betrayed you. "kid," i wrote back, "all lovers betray." it didn't help. you said you had a crying bench and it was by a bridge and the bridge was over a river and you sat on the crying bench every night and wept for the lovers who had hurt and forgotten you. I wrote back but never heard again. a friend wrote me of your suicide 3 or 4 months after it happened. if I had met you I would probably have been unfair to you or you to me. it was best like this. -Charles Bukowski +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <20010312134435.23798.qmail@web611.mail.yahoo.com> Hello all.... Hope you had a good weekend and stuff. Mine was alright. Spent it doing not very much, except tidying and cleaning. The floor was black! It really was! filthy! Not been washed since before Christmas. So I washed that, twice. And I was tidying through my desk, sorting out uni notes that were all over the place when I discovered a story I started writing back in '99, when I was in Norway. Actually, the first few pages I started when I was 18, in '97, but then ran out of steam. I didn't throw it away, I never throw things that mght be useful away. So I rewrote the story when I was in Norway. I was very bored in Norway you see. I didn't realise that I'd written about 77 pages of the thing! Its quite good to read through it again, but I think now I need to edit it, cos some of the points the character makes aren't very clear. But otherwise, I like some of the descriptions I used. "Transexual chicken who'd been cut off the hormone tablets half way through the course". I quite like that. The only thing that struck me, when I read it, was how some of the things that happen to the character have in essence, since then, happened to me. Some of the characters also seem very familiar, to people I know now. Even though I didn't know them when I started writing, and took it all purely out of my imagination. So I decided, that I'm not going to kill off any of the characters. I will, however, have to change some of the names, cos I now know people with those names. Hmm. If any of you are bored, and needing something to do, can I recommend exploring www.itsyourturn.com its a games thing, you play battleships, chess, all sorts. Good fun. Okay.. I need some suggestions for characters names. I have four character names to change, one girl, three boys names. any ideas? sensible ones only, please. And no, I'm not going to name them after any belle and sebastian reference. So "no" to Judy, Laura, Belle, Stuart, Stevie, Chris, Richard, Mick, Isobel, Sarah, Sebastian, Lisa.... sensible names as well. No names like "Ivor Biggun" or anything. I know you lot are in a smutty mood at the moment.

Great post... I wasn't too sure about this list to start with but the longer I'm on it the more I realise it's brilliance. The same kind of playful genius that B&S have... wonderful. I just bought 'Swansong for you' (as well as 'Soul to Feet' by Katheryn Williams, which has only one song which I haven't got on the album, which is a cover, and not even a very good one... and 'Hour of the Wilderbeast', which may need to time to grow but which I quite like anyway) and I'm not too impressed, it seems kind of ordinary, flowery rather than pretty. I get the feeling it might grow on me though... I'm not sure, a lot of the lyrics are good at least. I assume the Katrina House listed in the credits is our Katrina House... wow, I'm talking to celebrities (kind of). I'm also very proud to have prompted the eternal Ribena debate. I can see great rivers of Ribena flowing though the screen at this very moment. Jennifer Grey said that she uses the light-switch ruse to stop people seeing her body. I have been with two girl who did that... and, through some ruse or other (can't remember what) I managed to get them to turn the light on. Both had very attractive bodies...a little round perhaps, but a little round is nice... much better than too thin. Ken... thanks for a great series of posts. I laughed out load in a crowded computer room at the office assistant thing... Out of interest, this was sent to alt.music.radiohead a while ago, so I fished it out of the archives for the perusal of all. "Dear Thom, this'll be the last letter I ever send your ass I love you man I even cut my kids in half..." And, lastly, back by popular demand is Miss Judy and her dreams of horses. "Judy put down the book. She was happy. It was the knowledge she had created something good that allowed her to forget that she herself was not. She could tell a story and she would become the writer and not the person. How many people thought beyond the lyrical persona of their favourite band, or the thoughts within an author's book? In the eyes of the public art and artist are one and if she wrote something good enough she would become good herself. Even the content of the book didn't matter; all that mattered was the quality. People could understand that she was the girl in question. They could see all her weaknesses and it wouldn't matter. She would be more, because her book was more. Judy got up. This was by no means easy and required at least seven repetitions of what she liked to call the "Quick open, heavy close manoeuvre". This involved opening her eyes very quickly, in an attempt to shock herself awake, followed by the slow, relentless moving of her eyelids as they decided to return to their original position. I was going to be a hard day so Judy decided to begin first with orange juice, then with toothpaste, in the strange hope that this would make the rest of her day seem better by comparison. It was mint toothpaste. deciding that this was taking things a little too far she straight down stairs for breakfast. Everyone was out so Judy poured herself a liberal helping of Frosties and sat down. She finished her Frosties quickly and went up stair to get dressed. I little flowered skirt and a pair of black shoes were all she could find. she thought she'd have to stop allowing her mother to buy her clothes in future. Judy left for school early but she couldn't concentrate. A-level English and Geography were hardly the things to occupy a restless mind, especially during sections on 'Stylistics' and 'Igneous rock formations'. Judy took the whole day to continue her book, beginning with registration, even before the teacher read out her name, Judy had begun to write. Chapter 2 About three days after my first meeting with the boy I began to get restless. I realised that there was no way I could arrange a meeting and this upset me. I didn't realise why until recently, but it did. I just moped around the house for a couple of hours, unable to keep my eyes on anything. Flowered wallpaper and small potted spider plant were about the only things that stayed in my vision for more than a second. I tried playing computer games, reading, writing, even taking photographs of household objects, which is usually my favourite activity, but nothing held my attention. I tried pestering my mother for things to do, but she is far too homely and reverential to be much fun. It soon occurred to me that, since my father could arrange a further meeting, it would be a particularly good idea to harass him with my boredom. I no longer cared if he teased me. My father was a big man, about six-foot and very broadly built, odd considering that he rarely exercised and taught French for a living. He usually wore casual, understated clothes, the only exception being at Weddings, Funerals and the like, at which he was about as smart as it is possible to be. He had short black hair in a style which was nothing short of unexplainable, though it no odd looking, or even particularly unconventional. Just about everything about my father was an strange, not that people usually noticed, you really had to know him well to know that things that fitted in him were the same things that didn't fit with anyone else. I began the assault on my father with a few well-timed sighs, just to catch his attention and let him know that I wasn't happy. I continued with minor annoyances, I'd pat his head as I went passed him or fold my arms across his chest and blow on his ear. All the things I could easily pass off as father/daughter playfulness if he got annoyed. Finally, I asked, "Can I go to school with you tomorrow?" "Why would you want to do that?" I could tell by his face that he knew the answer, but it seemed as though he was in a more serious mood and I might be free from his taunts. "Oh, I want to see how it is. That day in the holidays when I came was really good. I got to have my stories looked at by that lecturer and everyone was so nice. Anyway, you know how boring it is around here" "It's a full timetable day though, I'll have no time to entertain you" "Oh, I don't mind, I'll entertain myself, there is always loads to do at the university" He paused for a second, as if considering whether he would allow this. He put his marking down, rubbed his eyes and said 'ok'. The next day, after I woke up, I went straight to my father's room and pestered him until he got out of bed. The car journey was wonderful, I should have been hopelessly bored but I wasn't, my mind was buzzing. I kept wondering what my lovely new boy would do, what he would, what he would wear to Uni., all stupid and almost utterly pointless, but nevertheless, they were important. As I'd skipped breakfast that morning my father asked if I wanted to stop somewhere and get some, I was hungry but I told him I didn't. I always had breakfast; it was one of my rituals. As we got closer to the University, I began to preen my hair like a kitten every two seconds. If I ever wore makeup then I'm sure I would have checked that too. An hour later we arrived. I walked up the driveway with my dad and looked at all the buildings as I went past. It was quite a new university and it sat just in the middle of a clutch of fields. It had those odd twisted-together trees all around it. It even had a lake on one side that you could take walks around. It looked for all the world like a holiday camp, and not a corporate, Butlins style camp, it really looked like some rich old man's summer retreat. I suppose to an extent it was, as Prince Charles owned it and was supposed to take walks around it sometimes, though no one had ever seen him do so. The last time I visited, I was in constant awe of the wonderful scenery, this time it just provided a fitting backdrop to my mood. We arrived a few hours before the first Art lectures began so I had to amuse myself. This proved quite easy, I had brought my Walkman and I sat listening to a mix-tape I'd made earlier, while thinking up scenarios in which I could meet my fathers friend and he would kiss me within seconds. It was only then that it occurred to me I did not know the boy's name and had no premise with which to speak to him. This, however, was not too much of an obstacle as a pretty girl like me can usually make up an excuse without being thought odd. After all, pretty girls never stalk boys, why should they need to? At 11 o'clock I began to camp outside the Art block, bringing a book along with me so as not to look suspicious. I did not read any of it, just kept it open somewhere near the middle so it looked like I was. I had to wait for three hours before he came out and then I nearly missed him. He came out of the block very quickly wearing a hooded coat, which nearly obscured his face. I kicked my bench hard and winced in mock-pain. The boy looked round for a second and asked if I was ok. "I'll be fine", I replied, trying my hardest to walk away. "Well, if you're sure you're alright." he paused after that sentence and I honestly believed he was going to walk away. He paused for a second, then looked at my face, there was some kind of recognition and he said, "Oh, you're reading The Wasp Factory. You like it?" "Yeah, it's good" "It is" "You're the guy from my house aren't you?" "Yeah" "What's you're name? Mine's Judy." "Andy" "My dad tells me that you do an Art course. That sounds really interesting" The boy stopped for a second, taken aback by my comment. I assumed I had scared him with the idea I had been enquiring about him, though I found out later that he was simply afraid of giving away anything of his character. He doesn't like people to know about him in case they don't understand. People don't like boys who are truly good; it's a sign of weakness. I searched for a way to continue the conversation, and to rectify my mistake, I continued, by saying: "I thought it was a little bit odd that my dad asked someone from his work to fix the computer, rather than going to a shop" "Oh" he said, "He allowed me to put up some of my pictures in the modern languages area, to brighten it up, and so I might be able to sell a few" "How did you get into painting?" "Oh, I just kind of picked up a pencil when I was little and started drawing , then I went on from their. I always liked making things; I love shape and texture. I'd write as well, but I'm really not very good with words" "We could work together then", I said, immediately realising the stupidity of my own words. I was usually good, well, very good, at the kind of banter that attracted boys. Of course, I tended to get bored after I knew they were interested, but the point was that they were. For the first time, I ended up feeling quite stupid." Hope you enjoyed it... I'll do a summery every 5 chapter with the header 'Judy and the Dream (Summary)' or something similar, so that the new listees and anyone who needs a refresher can need it. Anyone got any suggestions of a publisher who likes this sort of thing? Any criticism is welcomed.

I did a gig for the first time the other day and it was a true nightmare. Me on guitar, 3 friends on synths and a nag ( a guitar with the end sawn off and strings replaced with, well, buttons). Our opening song was suppose to be a up beat catchy number but my guitar just kept slipping out of tune, my mate decided he loved it and cranked up the sound. The whole evening carried on like this, with my friend trying to make a noise out of a slinky and a metal tube. I got the giggles cause we were so shit and when i looked up everyone had left. Only one person seemed to like it and compared us to "god speed you black emporer", i think he felt sorry for us. HMM, looks like its back to the drawing board for me. By the way, does anyone here like "For Carnation" i think they're fab and would like to share this fabness. muchstuff hannah +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Why now? Well, I quit college last week, leaving me with sooo much time I'm scared, and an inbox crammed with sinister digests screaming to be read. I had so much fun and amusement flicking through them, mug of ribena in hand, that I was inspired to post myself. It's amazing that since leaving Exeter College where I felt a complete retard for two years, I suddenly feel inspired and intelligent. And I've started using big words that I thought I had forgotten the meaning to. This seems ridiculous to me. But then I never did things the normal way round. My mother reliably informs me that as a child I never crawled, but rolled instead. And I apparently had an odd fixation with the regional news music (Spotlight, anyone?). Anyway, in my new enlightened state I went back to see the doctor today. Aren't Health Centre waiting rooms THE most depressing places in the world?? I have only two strategies to cope the the monotony. One: play "Guess The Ailment". This failed today as the place was practically empty, and the one woman who was in there I labelled with flu got up and limped away, much to my distress. Two: scare small children. This also failed because there was only one child there; Leah Elder. And she scares ME by looking like a 6 year old Melanie Healey (who incidentally I saw in an old Men Behaving Badly the other day, complete with freaky fringe and out on a mish for Marlboro red. Classy girl.). If anyone can suggest any other ways for coping with doctor's waiting rooms I'd be glad to hear them. Our Health Centre is so bad I can't bear to go too often, so very often I save up my illnesses and go in with a kind of shopping list to see the only nice doctor (who is only available every two weeks or something ridiculous). On the agenda this time were a repeat prescription, two ingrowing toenails and my left ear which needs syringing. Nice. I really really hate having that done, bent over a kidney bowl while the nurse brandishes a pneumatic water shooter saying "Tell me if it feels uncomfortable, won't you love?". Argh. Adam made it particularly unpleasant for me by likening the contents of the kidney bowl afterwards to the left over bits in deep fat fryers. I will never look at a piece of battered cod the same again. I came home and panicked about my sister who was supposed to have returned from "babmington" [sic] at 5. She's probably lost a shoe. So now I'll sit here and panic about whether I've managed to ingratiate myself into your society of cliqueiness instead of worrying about her. Only one more thing to say. Ribena. Godlike. Unrivalled. No arguments. I got caught in a freak rain shower on the way home. I think I deserved it. Love and ribena stains, Lucy xoxo +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Fine, but that's got nothing to do with someone recording a gig and passing it on to other fans. There's a long and distinguished history of bootlegging, with or without the artist's blessing (Stuart: if you want to swap Stereolab shows, let me know). Plus, I'm sure there's plenty of art appreciated by the Sebastians that wasn't released according to the artist's wishes and personal judgement. The Trial appears on the cover of If You're Feeling Sinister; didn't Kafka ask for all his writings to be destroyed when he died? Didn't they use the recording of the Troggs bickering as an intro tape? > For instance, there's the "Black Sessions" CD.

The other day she and I walked around what pretended to be a roundabout. We weren't fooled. Were we? In the distant traffic's boom. No the traffic was near It was a Traffic Island. On an island with Edna, we never even mentioned 'Ocean Pie'. I once heard a poetry editor claim that Rick Witter had said he wanted a slice of such pie. He (Witter) didn't, really: but note that the wilful 'error' is more gleefully memorable than the reality. Anyway, channels had operated. Wheels had spun. Factors were in play. If you catch my drift. And Edna had a copy of THE PARANOIDS. Sorry. I mean, THE NEGATIVES. I had expected that she and I might agree about this one. The best LP of 2000, and all that. Even Peter Miller thinks it better than 'Hyacinths & Thistles'. Gosh, so do I, come to that. It doesn't contain '!Volcana!', for one thing. But EW was having none, no, not none, little of it. She likes 'Vin Ordinaire'. Of all things. You'd doubt it; you'd doubt, she exclaimed, that Lloyd could write such a song now, and retain any self-respect. It's a good point. But has he? I really don't agree that 'VO' - no, let me give it its full glory: 'Vin Ordinaire' - is as good as this LP gets. I pointed out that 'Past Imperfect', 'That Boy' and 'Man On The Verge' were the best cuts. Buses roared by. The movement of the clouds was slow, even imperceptible. Someone, somewhere, ate a steak. Buses, yes, police cars, fans, replica shirts. Someone, somewhere, caught a train from Wycombe. Edna turned to me as though in slow motion. 'Man On The Verge', she laughed, the laughter peppering her sentence like artillery fire, is the worst thing on there. We never spoke again. Like that time in the magma club, when we had other names. You remember. No? No matter. We did really. Edna conceded that perhaps she hears these things differently, for one guitar explosion sounds much like another to her. The sky had darkened without our noticing. Even now we didn't notice it. Inside, Carsmile Steve arrived in a sudden bundle. Someone told him he was getting younger by the day. Again. I think she's trying to hug her soul. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Timothy Meskers) Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2001 17:44:00 -0500 Subject: Sinister: Dear Diary... (Unnecessarily long). Message-ID: Hello folks, Hope you're doing well. It's a beautiful afternoon, the birds are singing. And I am on my computer, posting to Sinister. How was everyone else's weekend? (I suppose a more appropriate time to post about my weekend would've been Sunday evening, but pah to convention.) ---begin skimming "Our weekend was keen, Timothy- really a great time. How was yours?" Well, since you asked, my weekend wasn't too shoddy at all, despite its shaky origins. Friday evening I was supposed to see a play with Scottie from Another Fiasco, and we were going to go shopping beforehand. I was so excited; as it is a rare occasion that AF Scottie and I are ever able to spend time together because of our conflicting schedules. So I was hanging about waiting for him to pick me up, when the phone rang. I picked it up with my usual shy hello, expecting Scott to be on the other end. But it was a girl whose voice was unfamiliar. I was very excited, 'cause I don't get many calls, let alone from girls. "Hi...is Tim there?" "(cough) Yes, this is Tim." "Tim!" "Yeah.. who's this?" "This is your manager. You're half an hour late for work." Mmm, I thought. This must've been some sort of mistake. But it wasn't, and I was actually late for work. So my mother sped me to work after I called Scott to cancel. The girl before me had put Lenny Kravitz's greatest hits in, and I'm sorry to the Lenny Kravitz fans on this list (or Lenny Kravitz himself) but I'm not really a fan. So that sort of added to my aggravation. Then I had to the cards in the Soul section for much of the rest of the evening. My other manager told me she'd heard of some group called Kings of Convenience, and how we'd just gotten a new one in, and on the new release sheet it described them as "instantly appealing to fans of Belle & Sebastian and Nick Drake." So that sort of piqued my curiousity a bit, cause I instantly thought of the list. Could anyone recommend/warn me about purchasing this? Err, right. So work was dry. I stayed out too late after work and I forget what I did. But I had to help open the next morning so I was suitably tired. Got out quickly on Saturday and went to another show after I got some carrotcake at Square One. Carrotcake is great food. The show was great, I saw lots of familiar faces and got some great stuff from 91.7, The 'Ville. Some girl hugged me, I think by mistake. I saw my friend Mike from 107 Steps and Ben from Vincent Price's Orphan Powered Death Machine. (What a great named for a band. Vincent Price's Orphan Powered Death machine...) AF Scott was there too so I was able to apologize in person for the shafting I'd given him the previous night, and All American Radio put on a good show, but not as good as when we (formerly Secret Agent X-9) opened for them. They had crazy lights. They were colored. And louder. My friend Nate won the "grand prize" of two tickets to see Vertical Horizon. He hates Vertical Horizon, but he really wanted those tickets. He likes doing weird things, so we'll probably end up heading out to see them next Sunday. Mm, good times.. we got home late that night/early the next morning and had a great night. I also found out the The (International) Noise Conspiracy (ex-Refused) was playing a show in the states. Hooray! If any folks of the Sinister persuasion will be attending, be sure to let me know. Although T(I)NC's music is quite a bit different than B&S. Sunday I worked. ---end skimming Anyways, enough of my online catharsis. I just had to tell someone about my exciting weekend, so I figured why not tell fifteen hundred people that I don't know? ...Marikka. 81. EIGHTY-ONE. I'm just going to shake my head. I did not catch that and it's probably better that I didn't. I'm green with envy, Ozma are so good.. I had wanted to hug Rivers, but I'd hug any of them, as well. I'd love to attend their CD release party. And yes, you're right. Rivers probably is the only one who'd be guarded. My friend Anthony (of 3/5 The Former, who played with the Spacetwins in CA) said when he saw them last year Rivers was wearing some sort of wig/beard when he ran through the crowd. Interesting guy. Have a blast at the show... ...Rinaldo and Mike K. I don't remember what you said specifically but I know it was about Weezer. If you do get to see them, have a blast. They put on a great show. (If anyone else is curious about my Weezer experience, e-mail me and I'd be obliged to send it out.) ...Thanks to Desmond & Angel for the book recommendations. I was able to order some book about Hideous Men from the library by that Allen fellow but not the Girl With the Curious Hair. I may have to purchase Filth 'cause the libraries don't have it. ...ArtsyDeco, Denny's. What an interesting place. All the indie/emo/punkrock kids used to go there, back in the day. Around here at least. Is it a national phenomenon? I went there on Christmas Eve with my friend Nate. I used to go there often, I even knew most of the "trons" there. Hm, that takes me back. I am very jealous of all the UKers out there, always having parties, and shows, and get-togethers... even a club that has Pixies nights. You folks have really got it good, maybe someday I'll make it across the pond. But for now I think an American Sinister get-together would be really enjoyable (road trip, anyone?). If anyone can get it off the ground, keep the list posted, for sure! But that's all for now, I do believe I have broken the fifteen minute rule. Mm, sorry about that. THe day is still beautiful but it is dwindling, and I'd like to spend some of it outside. First I must do the wash. Humbly yours, Timothy. xoxo p.s. I heard that group Camera Obscura the other day, how (if they are at all) are they related to B&S?

It was quite picturesque--the daffodils starting to bloom, the first blades of green grass pushing through the withered corpses of their ancestors. The Happy Reaper wrote: "Jennifer Grey said that she uses the light-switch ruse to stop people seeing her body. I have been with two girls who did that... and, through some ruse or other (can't remember what) I managed to get them to turn the light on. Both had very attractive bodies...a little round perhaps, but a little round is nice... much better than too thin." I don't really use that ruse anymore now that I'm married, but I used to always try it. And darn it, the boys *always* have a counter-ruse to get the lights back on! I dislike my own roundness, but I agree that it is better than too thin. Someone once told me that 5 lbs overweight looks better than 5 lbs underweight, and it becomes more true the larger the number. In regard to the MP3 thing, I still think that it is the bands perogative to control their songs. Someone...the Pickle Prince?...said that they thought music should be free. Well, yes, in a Utopia where food, lodging, etc. are also free. But...if music were free, then being a musician would not be a viable career choice. And as long as there are bills to be paid, why shouldn't someone make a living from doing what they love (if they can)? I mean, if professional musicians all had to have day jobs, then their musical output would be pretty scant. Just my opinion.

Message-ID: <001c01c0aba7$000b42c0$49d8b0c2@tinypc> Hello again (I could get addicted to this) I am, it has to be said, suitably chuffed by the support out there from Ribena addicts like myself. I could do with your help sometimes in Jeepster chat, where the Ribena debate comes up almost daily courtesy of yours truly. Some of the comparisons I get are unbelieveable!!! Robinsons: Piss from the last Steps fan in hell. I am SICK of my family, who consistently try to poison me with this stuff by pretending it's Ribena. Where's the similarity?? They're both reddy pink, but that's it. Vimto: An anagram of vomit. Surely this tells you something. Red Bull: Students drink this in order to stay up all night and write essays. It's traditionally habit forming, whereas it takes years of hardcore drinking to become addicted to Ribena. Any twat can get high on caffeine. Any other squash drink: These actually make me MORE thirsty, thus defeating the object of drinking. Interesting phenomenon. Vodka: Rather nice if mixed with Ribena (evidence of this concoction stained on my living room carpet under the rug, shhh ;o) ), otherwise just another excuse for teen angst oblivion. This is why if they ever stopped making Ribena (ARGH) I would be forced to suicide. At my age you're expected to drink coffee, tea and alcohol. I have a problem with caffeine which means tea and coffee are out, and alcohol also gives me heart palpitations. Plus I dislike alcohol intensely. So I'll just sit and wait for the day that pubs wake up and start serving Ribena. Another common argument is the "It rots your teeth" one. Yes, admittedly if you fail to clean your teeth regularly it probably would. But I have drunk Ribena all 19 years of my life, and my dentist informs me I have "perfect" teeth. Back to the corner, O vile haters of the holy drink. I have to say I object to all those damn Ribena berries. They were brought in to promote Toothkind (DON'T get me started), and they're purpley blue. What's that all about?? Go and put a small amount of Ribena on something white and you will see it is in fact pink. Not purple. Not blue. And they have ears!! EH?? All the same, I did adopt one called Roger. I think this was rather brave of me after the incident when I was six involving blackcurrants and my arm getting broken. But we won't talk about that now. If everyone drank Ribena the world would be a much better place. The only complaint I have about it is that it stains. But I think this could make a rather interesting fashion statement. Okay, enough of that. I have been avidly watching the celebrity Big Brother. I don't know the correct procedure for starting up a debate, but I would love to hear other listees suggestions for the ULTIMATE celeb Big Brother, not the watered down pants version we are having to endure. In mine would be Eminem, Liam Gallagher, Chris Evans, Richard Maddeley, Gail Porter, Trisha, Charlotte Church and the Queen. Can you imagine??? *giggles at the hilarious ensuing consequences* Oh heehee I'm so evil! I wanted to put Declan Swan in as well (courtesy of Claims Direct's shit advert on in every break. I'll give him a fucking reason to wear glasses, grrrr) but he is not really a celeb. Let's be selective about this. My mum has today started a detox diet. It's so funny, all she's eating is dried apricots and sunflower seeds! I think I'll put her in a cage in the garage. With some nice straw of course. I have a new game. I flick through the channels on TV or radio making sentences out of each snippet. "condoms are hard to talk about"/ "while being greased by a herd of buffalo"/ "in a huge vat of melted cheese" was probably the best so far. "Laugh? Laugh? I nearly went to Ethiopia!" (c) Alexei Sayle. *puts on a Clash t-shirt and watches Trisha* Ever get the feeling that life is just passing you by?

Hmm.. I really like Anna, always have done. Boys are harder because they don't interest me as much but i Nick, Chris and Pete are as good as any. Gordon is quite nice and rare. God the sun is starting to come out in Liverpool, in March, hopefully this means things are gonna start getting better. Does anyone else thing March is the most confusing month. Its hard to explain but it is. Everyone has got used to the new year and is waiting around for things to happen... for the summer to come. I bet a lot of relationships end in March and i bet a lot start. Bring on April so i can try and work out what is going on in my life.

Message-ID: <76.882c24b.27df88c9@aol.com> It is slowly nearing springtime in my neck of the woods; the days are growing longer and the grass and trees are greener each day. Pretty soon the sweaters will begin gathering dust for a season or two, and all the weights I've lifted this winter will hopefully make my biceps look suitably swoon inducing. Regardless, I'm really beginning to hate it here with a passion, because as someone said in American Graffiti, "Why are all the women in this town ugly or have boyfriends?" Like most small towns, or mediocre cities with decent aspirations, everything is quite cyclical and repetitive...you meet the same three kinds of girls in the local bars and your relationship inevitably follows the same path as the last few, everyone drinks the same beer, wears the same clothes, etc. As a way of keeping some semblance of hope amidst the drudgery, I've decided to study abroad in Rome for a semester as soon as my college will allow it. Even if I have to take typing or cooking or somethi! ! ng, I WILL BE IN ROME before too long. My weakness for Italian women compels me. Rome listees, mail me if you get a few moments. I recently got a copy of the Beach Boys' "Smile," burned in its correct running order, per Brian Wilson's last memo to Capitol before scrapping the album. With apologies to Mr. Kado in advance, I've always felt this was brilliant, blessed collection of tunes but once you hear the progression of the songs as Wilson intended, it just boggles the mind with the intricacy and foresight. I would love to have heard it on vinyl with Cabinessence closing the first side, only to have Good Vibrations beging the second. Pure brilliance. Drunken and heavy-hearted...

Trying to tune into Londons Trendy XFM Late Nite With Iain Lee (beth beth BETH?? which I think is the Welsh equivalent of what what WHAAT??) I heard a peculiar noise. Woooo-oooo-eeeeee. It went. "Oh crackin!" I thought, "the new beat record from And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of The DEEEEAAAAD in which they go all War of the Worlds on us and next thing you know it'll be all Godspeed You Red War Machines round here", and stopped whizzing the dial up to 104.9fm and left it on yer Radio One. As you can tell from the complete bollocks that the aforementioned sentence was, it *wasn't* the new And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of The DEEEEAAAD 45'. It was war!!! Chuffin' heck! The mellotron stopped. Bear in mind I still think its THE DEEEAAAAAAAD (do you think they called themselves by that huge name so that in referring to them in that short form other, less hip to the now popkids would think they were the Grateful Dead and then go and sell out their gigs down the Tenby Toerag?) and not WAR. A voice comes on the radio. Anticipating the modulated voice of some chancer with an Estuary accent hesitatingly spilling the beans on the new DEEEEEAAARRRGABBAGABBAHEYAAAD record, I'm shocked, suprised, and angry when the voice of a bunged up public schoolboy comes into my room VIA the speakers of course! Not the door. Duh. Oh no! If I'd wanted a bunged up public schoolboy I'd listen to Peter Gabriel on an offday. Aha! You thought I was going to refer to your man from the Clientele didn't you. Didn't you?? Well it turns out like my own fairself, he's a comprehensive little snotbag too! However, at least I learnt how to blow my nose before standing in front of a microphone dammit! Ba-dum! Peter Gabriel : Ahem! Hello listeners! It's me, Pete, and I'm here to declare WAR! Stuart Murdoch : And I'm your co-host! Pete : No, you're the roadie. Because radio shows have roadies. Stuart : Then how come theres a bunch of people chanting my name outside the studio? Pete: Cos Stuart Maconie off the telly is also present in this very building tonight! So get in the back of the van! Stuart Smirnoff : Im a rector you know! Stuart Maconie : You know what, I met a rector once and I thought.... ........ ........ Peter: Shut up! We're talking about war!! The horrible sounds of a slaying! No! Not death Peter! He doesn't deserve death! Thats going too far!!! I strode out of my house bound for the studios where the mystery radio signal was coming from, and I knew where it was because I was clever. I strode past a bulging van. Let me out! piped Stuart Dandelion & Burdock. Whats in it for me? I asked. Bottle of cider down the swings tomorrow night? he offered. It was a done deal. I released Stuart and asked him what the bloomin' nora this war was about. Well, he said. Peter, a long time Ribena consumer, became angered by the Sinister list turning into the Ribena fan list. You can see where he's coming from, Stuart said, nodding his head vigourously, he's got his image to think of. He's a sledgehammer! (No he's not a sledgehammer is like a hammer but bigger I mumbled but he didnt hear me) He's hard. He showed how hard he was in that fight with Stephen Pastel down the common swings last night. But I thought Stephen Pastel kicked his arse! I replied, shocked. Rumour of that viscious fight had spread like wildfire, even to places where you just listen to AND YOU WILL KNOW US BY THE TRAIL OF THE DEEETTTRRRR NOIMEAN DEEEEEAAD on your radio. Stephen had been celebrating buy getting strangers to buy him rounds in the Easy Lover. No, Stuart replied. Thats not how it was. Gabriel, enraged by people using twee slurs on Ribena and talking to trees and hugging them and all that hippy gubbins, took more Full Flavour Ribena than he could take. He was a mentalist! He went up to Stephen Pastel and pushed him off the slide. When Stephen saw the purple glow in his eyes, he got mega spooked out, and ran away howling in fear! I couldn't believe it! To achieve his plan of getting Ribena known as a "right fecking bad arse drink you mother flubber", Stu continued, Peter, high on Ribena (would never happen with Ribena Light) took over a certain national radio station. He promised I could cohost, he promised! That Stuart Maconie! I'll kill him when I get my hands of sex on him!! I broke it to him that Stuart was already dead. Stuart Murdoch gasped in shock, as did the peddling nostalgia to people who don't like TRAIL OF THE DEEEAAAADD records TV executives and then committed hara-kiri after no-one else would go on their shows. The first casualty of war, he blubbered, that bastards going to be more famous than ever before!!! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaah! To cut a long story short, it was OK in the end. A nice lady from the Samaritans took Peter up a nice cup of tea and put him through a Ribena detox programme. He's back at his home in Tunbridge Wells now. Well, it's only Ribena, its not crack is it? Stuart Murdoch and me had a nice time down in the park with a bottle of Scrumpy Jack, and Stuart Maconie probably isn't dead, but to tell you the truth, what the hell would I know about these things. I've never heard anything by And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of The Dead. But I have heard records by Peter Gabriel. David Moore, thanks for the list of people in London who went to go and see Camera Obscura. Who else on the list got together to go and see a band last week? Share it with everyone. Work is boring.

Jenny began a sentence with the voice of tragedy: �Well, yes, in a Utopia where��. That way lies ruin; that way lies surrender. �Well, if we lived in a Utopia then maybe my company wouldn�t feel the need to employ malnourished sweatshop workers, but in the existing Marketplace, it remains an economic necessity�. �In a Utopia, of course, I could put down my glass and raise my head from silent despair. I could TOUCH people again�. The distance between the bottle and the street is the distance between everyday life and Utopia. Society happens in SPITE of everyday life; it exists because we WANT it. My relationships exist because I CHOOSE that they should. One relinquishes one�s own Power as soon as one relinquishes one�s own fantasies. Of course, one musn�t allow oneself to lapse into lazy idealism, but it is vital to undertake a certain Leap of Faith in order that one�s desires and dreams don�t falter when faced with Fact. Napster is denying �artists� their rights? Home taping is killing music? Piff paff poof! I find the idea of free exchange rather exciting, actually. The Library is a tremendously powerful and radical idea, you know. Copyright be damned, I want to experience everything I possibly can NOW, and then � and only then � may you try and judge me. I mean, it was a poor gig, was it? Then we�re hardly going to stay away from the shops en-masse, when next Belle and Bombastien release anything, on the grounds that �we already have the definitive versions of the tracks � you know, the moment when someone spills warm lager over the drum monitor and you can hear it fizzling and spluttering � that breaks my heart whene�er I play it�. Only fans are likely to want to hear a poorly recorded gig. Fans, being fans, will also buy all the new releases. A pretty secure position to be in, I�d suggest. I didn�t download the songs, myself. I couldn�t be bothered. The poetry parrot fluttered in through my window, but found my shoulders a little too slender to be able to perch comfortably. It�s probably for the best, I think. The only poem with which I concern myself today is Ted Hughes�s �Ouija�. And I couldn�t bear to type it out. I just couldn�t.. I always think electronic communication too fleeting, too brash, for poetry. Too many flickering digits to distract us. One click and it�s gone. One click. Poetry: an analogue medium unsuited to digital transfer. One click. Zero. I do struggle with the Duff Paddy trial. It�s like Snoop all over again � eschewing all concern for justice and human rights, I just want to see the sap go down because I find his music so objectionable. It�s only Celebrity, yeah? It�s only Soap Opera, no? If only his testimony could incriminate J-Lo as well.. Sure, it�s not right. But it�s quite ok. And is it just me who considers �Celebrity Big Brother� one of the most groundbreaking television programmes of recent years? An intensive insight into the nature of fame, into the frailties of showbiz-status, into our willingness to throw ever-more cadavers to the lions. Affects me, in all honesty, as much as something like Mike Leigh�s �Naked�. The Quote du Jour is two-fold. ** Interviewer: �What do you remember most vividly?� Reporter, just returned from Beijing: �The students singing as they were being shot. And a student, a girl, who said to me � �What can they do to us? We have our whole future ahead of us, AND WE�VE SEEN IT��. ** �But a boy carries his walkman on the long bus ride to Omaha/ I know a girl who cries when she practises violin/ �Cos the note sounds so pure/ That it cuts into her/ And the melody comes pouring out her eyes/ Now compared to that, everything just seems like a lie.� ** Nicholas Passant x ===== ------------------------------------------ All words belong in the public domain. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Right now I'm writing from lovely Albany, the capital of New York. Like all good New Yorkers, my favorite hobbies are pushing and shoving, screaming profanities, and being rude in general. So I am so jealous of Jason who saw the Weezer show. I was working all day and couldn't get tickets and I was so mad. It snowed really bad up here and I really wished it would get cancelled. IF I COULDN'T SEE IT, NOW ONE CAN!! MWAHHAHH!! I once sat through a No Doubt concert to see Weezer (cringe), but G-darn it if it waren't wort it! So I'm addcited to Diet Coke, if that is worth anything (and cigs [excuse the abbriviation, I don't remember how to spell the whole word]). Diet Coke is a sacry thing to be addicted to because you look pretentious drinking it, and even more scary, it KILLS LAB MONKEYS!! I like Belle and Sebastion because Pavement, the Smiths and OpIvy broke up, and I'm tired of listening to Ian Curtis all the time. In fact, I'm tired of being depressed, and Belle and Sebastion is light and airy and it drives my boyfriend crazy. It's perfect in my book. To close up, I think monkeys are the funniest things in the world, especially when wearing little outfits. Tell me if this is the general concensus of the group. If it isn't I'll have to run away and start my own pro-monkey list and show you all!! MWAHHAHH!!

Went to pub, followed by what I thought was gonna be some pretenious club up Old Street. I got excited when I saw some bands stuff set up though, and I almost exploded when I realised I had stumbled into a Trembling Blue Stars gig. But they were only the supporting act to a tramp singing Dylan at Kings Cross. Unfortunately, I went to see Lowgold on Friday. Never heard anything by them but my mates reckoned they were good, so I went along. I imagined they were gonna be a boring Travis-Coldplay-Starsailor-New Starsailor type of thing; and they were. (Was that good semi-colon work-I never use them normally?) More upsetting than Lowgold though was my experiences at the "indie" club collide-a-scope. The kids all went wild when L*mp Bi*kit's Rollin was on, but reacted with indifference to the Boy with the Arab Strap. I would have been in tears if I hadn't been so hyper after drinking Samuel Smiths D-Pils all night. This is the drink of the Gods. Any of you that are in York, go to the Handsome Cab for the full D-Pils effect: pipes, alchies and lots of banter. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

They're from Boston and play lound tremendous noise that turns into quiet subtle gooves, and intricate rythms, and the sweetest guitar lines... i could go on and on. The bass is steady, the drumming incredible, and full of triumphant guitar lines. Unfortunately there weren't a lot of people at the show because New Jersey is full of posers and lacks anyone with good musical taste. For God's sake, the Lapse played too! The Lapse! For all you "indie" kids Toko was in the Lapse. and Toko also used to play in eveyone's beloved Blonde Redhead. ***** B&S content**** I also vote for the band Camera Obscura from Scotland to change their name to the Scotland Camera Obscura. There's already and insane Camera Obscura from San Diego. hmmmm.... what else to complain about... oh yeah. all this ozma and weezer talk on the board.... Here's my opinion: Weezer were/are bland, terrible, rockstars. Ozma sound extactly like weezer. Why bands like that are even allowed to record or possess instruments is beyond me. i guess that's it for now. Everyone check out Aden while they're on tour, and buy that Helms CD. it will make you a better peron. ---- andrew __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Also, the transsexual that I work with (male to female) told me the tale of the lusty threesome she just had.

Hmmmm....you know, I also find the idea of free exchange exciting, and I have made free use of Napster. I use it like a radio--so I can experience a lot of different music, and then buy what I like. I don't come home with shitty CDs anymore. Maybe that's what the record companies are really afraid of. But anyway, I don't really consider this use of Napster copyright infringement. I like to think of it the way you view art at a museum, but you can't take it home with you unless you buy a print. I don't think the decision about the Glasgow Uni MP3s had anything to do with copyright. I think it was about artistic control. Which a songwriter is entitled to because songwriting *is* hard work. They've put themselves into their songs, which in my opinion makes them more irrevocably "theirs" than a copyright does. And... Nicholas' comments about Utopia were interesting and food for thought. My favorite names....Lydia, James, Alex, Eve....definitely not Tammy. I've always detested that name. It makes me think of a soggy pancake for some reason. Steve C. writes: "I've decided to study abroad in Rome for a semester as soon as my college will allow it." I wonder....if I'd fit in your suitcase? I've always wanted to go to Rome too.

Message-ID: <984551220.3aaf0f3483de0@webmail1.wm.edu> hello sinisteria, I was sitting around our campus hang-out, the 'Daily Grind' (SUCH a witty name!!), when I got restless and wandered into the back room to see if anyone was willing to smoke with me. I found nothing but a notebook covered with stickers. No one was around, so I checked to see to whom it belonged, but there wasn't any name. lots of english lit. notes, but not much else. then i noticed something written on the inside of the front cover. it was interesting. i copied it because it was quite good. this might violate some ethical conceptions, but i don't think i'll burn in hell. for that anyway. B&S stuff: the copy of IYFS that i donated was playing when i found it... check it: In the coffeeshop, itÂ’s hard to separate the voices from the tired ‘modern rockÂ’ that repeats ad nauseum. The two in the corner are on a date- if staring about numbly and awkwardly listing ‘favoritesÂ’ can be called a date. His mud brown hair is a nice juxtaposition with her white blond mop. You can tell itÂ’s a first date- all the telltale signs are there: he keeps looking over his shoulder as if expecting some accident- a catalyst for more conversation; heÂ’s wiggling his foot constantly (thereÂ’s enough kinetic energy there to power a German chocolate oven); and the last sign- the god damn burning bush of a first date- heÂ’s not looked her in the eye for more than the time it takes to blink. But thereÂ’s hope I think. This one might just last; I mean itÂ’s no Astrophil and Stella, but possibly more of a Burt Reynolds/Loni Anderson coupling. Of course the onus of the boyÂ’s fate rests squarely on blondieÂ’s chakra point-topped head. And she seems receptive. Indulgent even. SheÂ’s patiently swirling and cradling her coffee in her hands- trying to let him know that quiet spots and mumbled phrases are OK- but letÂ’s try to keep it together ace. SheÂ’s leaning towards him, screaming in her body language that sheÂ’s very interested. ItÂ’s a shame this kid needs an interpreter. Smiling and prodding sheÂ’s blinking like a cat .or almost. Raising the bottoms to meet the top lids. BlondieÂ’s comfortable in herself- I think she could easily maintain stately decorum even if this kid happened to plop a severed hand on the table. “Voila! un main a la carte!” No amount of lip biting on his part could fret her- at least this time. Maybe in the weeks ahead the shy and coy song and dance will grow old and will seem less like an act and more like the real thing. When the awkward pauses become painful and ineluctable- deserts of silence to traverse without any Bedouin training- or in his case, without any previous experience. ThereÂ’s a girl near the window and sheÂ’s reading carefully- ostensibly so as not to shatter the images of life she wished she could live. ItÂ’s an Amy Bloom novel- “Even a Blind Man Can See How Much I Love You”. I know because I stole a look at it on my way to the bathroom. Short chestnut hair posed on top of tiny eyes and nerd- thick glasses. She turns the pages and sighs- expressing through exhalation her blocked wishes for the pages to turn themselves, or at the very least be continuous. ThatÂ’s not too much to ask, is it? Chestnut twirls her hair (just like I do, between the thumb and middle finger, like a pinch of snuff) to release the stress. Except I only do it in private, IÂ’m a closet hair twirler. You can relate, IÂ’m sure. The couple just left, and IÂ’m surprised at how much I miss them already. The loss of their white noise conversation lessens the general din, and now this place has the atmosphere of a linen closet. He (mud brown hair) walked out before her- loving every second of her presence, but paradoxically anticipating the end eagerly. He held the door for her too (theyÂ’re both hip- Cosmo compatible), but would he do that for the overweight girl behind the counter? In my experience at least, chivalry is shown selectively, just like your best Jerry Lewis impression. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Kara Jean sent her first post and wrote > I like cheese. Be my friend. I'll be friends with anybody who likes cheese. What's the king of cheeses? I like it blue - gorgonzola or stilton at room temperature. No crackers for me! I'd rather eat it by the chunk. Mmmmm, cheese. If I could only eat one food for the rest of my life it would be cheese. Ricotta for breakfast, grilled chevre for lunch and a giant slab of extra mature cheddar before bed. Cheese before bedtime never gave me nightmares, only sweet dreams of love. Speaking of which... Struan makes a great roadie. Several times, he took it upon himself to turn his back to the audience, then bend over to fiddle with his cable. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we got a prime view of his arse. It's a bit on the small side - personally, I like a bum I can grab - but it's not unpleasant and the elasticated waistband of his trousers formed delicate pleats across his cheeks. I can't believe I'm writing this. Sod it, onwards... I can also confirm that Struan has lovely hands. Fairly small and perfectly formed, his manicured fingertips are obvious testiment to regular use of the nailbrush and possibly even an emery board. Most other details, I believe, have already been supplied by Mr Moore. Speaking of which... David Moore said > Strange Fruit's music policy is described as "Off-kilter indie". Ask > Lucy > whether off-kilter is an adjective or a noun ;) *Definitely* a noun. I'd like to see B&S do some off-kilting. Struan, Stevie, Isobel and Sarah line up at the front, swaying their hips and clicking their fingers in time to TBWTAS when swoosh! The boys whip away the girls' kilts in the style of Bucks Fizz. I think that would go down a storm, don't you? Speaking of which... Camera Obscura did a storming gig. I urge anyone with anything resembling decent musical taste (and that's all of you, obviously, because you all like my favourite band) to go out and buy anything they can get their hands on. Also, watch out for the video for the forthcoming single - certain members of this list placed successful bids to appear in it in the auction a couple of months back. While on the subject of Saturday's gig, I should pay homage to the Lollies' keyboard player, who proved herself to be the Toni Braxton of indie by wearing a frock split so high up the sides you could actually see her arse. Really! That brazen hussy! I can't end this paragraph with 'speaking of which...' because I am about to write my name. Juicy Lucy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

You can only go so far to be principled and I'd draw the line at not drinking fruit based drinks. Anyway, if they test Ribena on dogs the dogs would probably be happy enough. Their scientific wag-o-meter would go off the scale. Then the dogs would start demanding blackcurrant all the time and Ribena would launch blackcurrant and marrowbone flavour to appeal to the canine market. It would be madness.

Well, I'd just like to say (actually, it's more like 'hate to say') that I lent Tigermilk and IYFS out to four people... only one liked it, and I know she would because she said she liked them before. One said that it was dull, the lyrics weren't ever very good and it sounded like Badly Drawn Boy without good tunes. Another compared them to Celine Dion (!?).

You have French blood haven�t you? Maybe instead of doing picnics this year we could have cheese-and-wine-in-the-park parties. Sounds like fun. Carsmile said Nobody's mentioned Sunday in London yet, which was as much fun as saturday, and there were nice comfy seats, and the music was better. Indeed it was fun. Well not really as much as I wanted as I couldn�t talk anymore thanks to a sore throat (OK and also too much drinking-dancing-shouting the night before at the gig) so I spent the afternoon writing on bits of papers. Which, I notice, makes you think twice about what you are going to say (or write) so I said less silly things than usual. It also makes people write back even if you are not deaf. We also had lots of lollipops and some beers, that was really all we needed after a big night out. Oh and also lovely tunes, no need to say. As details about Struan�s bum and stuff about the gig I think that everything has been said already, so I won�t tell you more about it. Instead I'll tell you what I read in the newspapers this week: a woman has been caught in Greenwich park while dropping there a Guinea pig, a hamster and a rabbit. If more people do that, this summer's picnics will be even more fun.

This will be the second post today from members of the same household to praise the wonders of cheese: I have maintained a serious edam addiction since an early age, ensuring I have only the purest supply, from reputible sources. I have experimented with other varieties, which have all been fun at the time, but I only do the serious hard stuff (blue, smelly, FULL FAT) on special occasions. Otherwise, some recreational cheddar helps me through the week. Special mentions must go to jarlsberg, leerdammer and gouda. Also, to promote a failed club (called Cheese International), I once had my picture in Time Out, looking at the cheese section of Whitechapel Sainsbury's. Beat that, cheese freaks. DR PEPPER So misunderstood! Whilst I really like this wonder drink (almost as much as the dog enema, Ribena) it's not reassuring to look at the ingredients of a can and find that there is nothing real in it whatsoever, except perhaps water. Still, it tastes great with chips & curry sauce... I'm hungry now. Mike.

This is true. I'd forgotten how much I love it... it's a hybrid of chess and boxing, and I really do think it's beautiful. Really. Cheese? Ribena? Give me jam, jam and red bull. Or maybe peanut butter and apple juice. Whatever. I write this easyEverything in Trafalgar square, which really /is/ rather an impressive place. It's, like, huge in a way that really strikes you... I'm in Westminster Abbey most days and that's never once stuck me as being big, it's a design thing of some sort. Plus, there's this cool little display telling you how much time you have left, way dinky. Spaced series two, episode three, was a half-hour moment of pure telvisual magic, I'm thinking. Can you even have half-hour moments? Oh well. Aaaaanyway, I'm here 'cos I just had a job interview nearby. Not a very interesting story all round, but, y'know, whatever. My mum always taught me to always peel oranges using this bizzarely complex knife method. I don't understand why. This morning she tried to kick the bathroom door in because she thought I was taking too long brushing my teeth. 22 minutes left. That's £0.74, apparently. Some sinis like the Magnetic Fields. This: http://www.roadwaffles.com/oily/d/20010101.html isn't even remotely connected to them in any way. But it's a bit like the the Bad Art Collection by Jhonen Vasquez. Who is better than Stevie Meritt at hockey. Maybe. I was in #sini the other way. Minka said the secret of romantic success is, among other things, to be "yourself". I have not been myself, at all, for even a moment since age, oh, fourteen. Should I be worried? I'm not overly concerned either way, I wouldn't want to go back to being me even if it did lead to gettin' squidgy. Yesterday: Girl who is a vague acquaintance: Hey Greg. My friend really fancies you, by the way.... Me: Ah, right, cool... who? G.w.i.a.v.a: Ah, she said not to tell. Me: Um, what's the point of that then? Gwaiava: Errr... dunno. Me: Right, then. I mean, really. It's just silly. I was wrong, and Supreme by Robbie is actually a better song than Teenage Dirtbag. Only just, but nevertheless, Robbie returns to the podium, and Wheatus are relegated to merely Second Best Single of The Noughties. I used to think that if I shouted as loudly as I could, I would keep getting louder forever, until buildings fell down. I never did, because I was scared. I believed this until years later, when I did, only to find puberty had robbed me of my superhuman shouting ability. I can still shout underwater so loud it can be heard across a swimming pool, though. That's apparently quite rare. 2 minutes left. Ummm... Yes. Right. Gorillaz, man! Blinding, blinding record. Something. Yes.

It's traditionally habit forming, whereas it takes years of hardcore drinking to become addicted to Ribena. Any twat can get high on caffeine.<< A load of two veg, I'd say. Minority does not imply superiority, students don't drink ribena to stay up all night and write essays, cos it, er, doesn't work. I take the point tho that most people are just not totally extreme adrenalin hard-core enough to be a ribena addict, cos that's like the holy grail, except the holy grail is a cup thingie and ribena is a drink. I think what would make a great advert for ribena is to have a little kid drinking ribena, who then will tell us that ribena's good for him because ribena doesn't have any artificial colouring before giving us a huge smile showing his lovely purple teeth.

Message-ID: <000901c0ad0b$5538b880$6700000a@infotrek.co.uk> I write this without any semblance of the quality control which, I assure you, I subject all my writings to. I am quite far from sober but, more importantly, I have had an absolutely atrocious night. It all began at 3pm and then progressed into an concert by the bland, dire Add N to (X), which was followed by a trip to the dreadful yet strangely alluring Candybox. It all ended with me almost having a breakdown in Picadilly Circus when I dropped my copy of Philip Larkin's The Whitsun Weddings in a puddle. I had been clinging to it, stroking it and lavishing love upon it in the absence of human company, and to have it slip from fingers was almost enough to make me break down and weep, right under the statue of Eros. Which, in a way, would have been appropriate... The reason for this uncustomarily non-analytical piece of narrative is, essentially, down to the goings on in the less than venerable Candybox (which, I have just realised, is an utterly awful name for a club or, indeed, for anything). The day had left me feeling sordid and dirty, which was not in the least aided by the awful Add N to (X) concert (at which a friend stole two t-shirts, one of which I have recently thrown into the dustbin in disgust, though not at the theft). I stood, bored, watching a group of people fiddling around with electronic gadgets and making music which sounded like an up-tempo drum track on a Casio keyboard. Then, at Candybox, I started to kiss a (male) friend of mine, which furthered the general air of depravity. It all became an awful mess of drinking, uncontrollable, unpleasant laughter and loud music. It could have been saved by the presence of a wonderful girl from Edinburgh who loved Belle and Sebastian and who had the most intent, pure eyes I have seen in many, many a long day, but she eventually went off with some other chap. My other potential saviour (is it pathetic that I seek saviours in women I hardly know, yet whom I pour my love into without them being aware?) went off to do no doubt dastardly deeds with the aforementioned friend. I asked her if I could hold her hand. She said yes. I did. It was soothing to feel the skin of another human being in mine, but was followed by her sucking the fingers of the yet again aforementioned friend. Then I gave her my bracelet, telling her I didn't want to see it ever again. It was symbolic, I think, but I am not sure she was aware of that, as I snapped the thing off my wrist and thrust it into her hands. Which takes us rather close to my present state, sitting at my computer, feeling sorry for myself, and fretting about the fact that I am supposed to be awake in three hours. Let me be honest: it won't happen. I must sleep, or at least lay in bed thinking about these events and about the tremendous sadness I felt as I walked away from the club (the last words I heard were spoken by the girl whose hand I held: "Ruvi was hoping to snog you" ((referring to another friend)); I walked away immediately after in, well, not disgust...loneliness). I've utterly lost the plot as a result of that protracted bracket...Ah yes, sadness. I walked and held in tears, going down Berwick Street, then onto Shaftesbury Avenue, Picadilly Circus, Picadilly and then my bus. All that sordid socialising, and pointless attractions leading to nothing at all except disappointment. All those people who can't be bothered to talk to other human beings. Music I have heard before. Faces I love in secret, who mock me with ignorant glances. It was all too much tonight, I think. In a way, it ought to be too much every night. I shouldn't be so negative though, should I? At least I get to write all of this to people who, I think, will be sympathetic to the ideas of loneliness, dissatisfaction, love and sadness. The idea of writing this below-par piece actually kept me going as the bus lurched along sickeningly. Yes, it was soothing. And now, I hope, people will not read this with cruel eyes; in my currently fragile, admittedly drunken, state, that little extra cross to bear would, well, be too much to bear. Ruvi. Ps. I would like to extend my belated greeting to Katie, Jessie and Esmie. I would have done so earlier, but the idea of misspelling your names frightened me into silence. Now I thought I'd take the opportunity of not caring about such things to say hello. Hello. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Perhaps hypocritically and to redeem myself I have been a member of the BUAV (British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection) since I was 11. But as Robin pointed out, the bigwig evil corporate gits own all the things we love. Look at Nestle and their baby killing antics. It's a mad, sad, bad world, and I don't think me stopping loving bena is gonna change that. I'll shut up about it instead. God I feel all miserable now. That track three on FYHCYWLAP reminds me very muchly of old (very old, circa 1983) Pulp. And also of Leonard Cohen. It's not bad, but it's not very B&S.

Wednesday night arrived in the shape of a content refuge. After a somehow disastrous evening, I quit my bedroom for more relaxing landscapes,seeking inspiration.That is, I got the table disposed in parallel with our TV set,armed with pen and paper in order to do some work combined with clandestine spotting of the screen,which involves from that angle a twist of my neck which if repeated too often probably gives me a crick. And here it is , that advert someone mentioned with the instrumental part of 'TBWTAS' in the background. I have been flicking through the latest msgs from UK listees trying not to provide right the same info as the one posted inmediately before,and could not find anything about it,sorry if it has been said...It is some C4 new series by the name of 'Teachers'.Despite that very original title,it does not take place in a whisky (or in Finnish,viski!)distillery,but portrays some struggling comprehensive,I am afraid, with that guy called Egg in 'This Life' in the main role.Against all odds,I would say he will be a troubled but brimming-with-good-intentions individual,showing some interest in that feisty but not too new feminist English teacher. It will take the current 'Sex and the City' slot.Substituting the weekly fix of glamour sex in lofts inequivocally styled by Starck's disciples by the misadventures of a lot earning 20000 a year if lucky, flirting in the grim common room not done up since the 1976, perhaps bumping one into another unexpectedly at the bar of the local Starbucks sipping caffe latte providing the most sophisticated touch of one episode, is somehow methadonically curious. The use of TBTWAS in the promotional campaign could try subtly to lure SATC regulars into watching that very different product.However orangey and scruffy the common room carpet, and however IKEA the futons in the bedrooms, hardcore action happens there,as this tune suggests...etc,etc. >From one school to the next.I zapped and click, there was Hal Hartley's short film inaugurating the new genre of martial arts mathematical musical.If the general conclusion about Belle and Sebastian providing the score for his new movie proves true, I wonder if it will also involve mock kung-fu choreography.In a more personal level, mock revolutionary equations, as so far, my most remarkable contribution to the cinematic art consisted of splashing an old-fashioned blackboard,not unlike the one in 'The New Math(s)') with token equations to be wiped out furiously in an out-of-focus shot very similar to some in Hartley's work.Only that my equations were not actually a bag of rubbish as those, they were just a pile of nonsense.Fiona, did you see THAT? I was due to send a covering letter to Mr Hartley offering myself as 'Token Equations Provider' in his future works.It was a bit dissappointing to read the credits and discovered that no explicit mention of the author of such was to be seen. Not that I care much about the mathematical quality of the props, I just want to fly free to NY, and hang around with soundtrack composers and drink Manhattans in Manhattan and perhaps seduc some of those Strokes boys who are both punks and heirs to fabulous fortunes,somehow an extremely appealing combination. Today in the morning on my way to work, I crossed recklessly and found myself suddenly in a traffic island.Don't know if it was a happy one.Can anyone tell me if they have read Dawn Powell and if it is worth to spend my meagre graduate budget on it,by the way? x A. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I think 'Dawn' is one of the most gorgeous names ever invented, and I fully intend to name my kids that. All of them. Even the boys. All I've got to do now is find someone daft enough to want to have my kids in the first place. >From Elena: ----- >a woman has been caught in Greenwich park while dropping there a Guinea pig, a hamster and a rabbit. If more people do that, this summer's picnics will be even more fun. ----- They eat guinea pigs in South America. Apparently they're an ancient Incan delicacy. And they taste a bit like rabbit, but without as much meat on them. The only problem is, when you order one from a restaurant, it appears on your plate whole, with the head staring at you, still with its eyes and teeth and fur in place, just so you can't forget what you're eating. So if someone brings a pot of boiling water to the next picnic, we can go hunting around Greenwich for them. I'm sure they would go well with cheese. We could even go on a haggis hunt while we're at it. >From Ken: ----- >I went to Nottinghams' RAWK club, rock city (aka the more precise "cock shitty") the other night where they played the delights of Marilyn Manson and Limp Bizkit, but I actually very much enjoyed playing tremendous air-guitar and head-banging whilst hileriously changing the lyrics of a Limp Bizkit classing "Rollin'" to "Bowlin'Bowlin'Bowlin'Bowlin'Bowlin'...." ----- And the sad truth is, however good a city Nottingham may be in other ways, it lacks any decent indie club. Which means we're reduced to going to 70s music nights instead. No night out in Nottingham is complete without dancing to YMCA at least once. >From Blake: ----- > some people have foot fetishes, i have a glasses fetish, for reasons i cannot decipher. ----- Personally, I have a 'naked woman' fetish. Does that make me strange? Someone else said that we shouldn't drink Ribena because it's made by a company who have taken over another company who twenty years ago used to test cosmetics on animals. Which is kind of like saying we should boycott all English products because in the last century English people used to organise slavery. Or that we should hate all Americans because in the past their army used to invade countries and kill innocent civilians to protect their own interests. (What was that? They still do? Panama, Somalia and Iraq you say? And 90% of the world really does detest Americans? Oh well, that's pissed on my bonfire then...)

Me and some friends went to a drinking competition between Bath Spa University College (my Uni, very small) and Bath University (hugh). No-one from Bath Uni turned up, so we stay in that bar for a while and then went back to the pub we'd been in before, which was open till two. We played Horse, which, for anyone who doesn't know, has the the following rules 1. Someone thinks on a number and everyone round the table takes it in turns to say another number, each person must guess 2 numbers away from the last guess and the person who thought of the number must tell them if it is higher or lower. The person who guesses the number drinks two fingers of beer. 2. While this is going on somebody is appointed 'Thumb Master' and, at any time they choose, can put their thumb on the table. The last person to put the same thumb on the table has to drink, anyone who puts the opposite thumb on the table must drink two fingers. 3. Someone is appointed 'Watch Master' and, every half an hour, they must called everyones attention to the time and everyone must drink with their opposite hand. Anyone caught drinking with the wrong hand must drink to fingers. I think the only way that night could have got better is if we had played strip Horse, and the attractive hippy girl I've had my eye on for ages had been playing... but I guess heaven wasn't made for the living. I had my hair cut this morning, I'm scared because I've been growing my hair for about a year and a half and I was proud of it. Having said that, it looks quite nice now, even though I let my friend cut it for me herself. I'll be posting a before and after to the photographs website... so have a look out for it. I'll probably tell everyone when they are up. As I was walking down the road, just after having my hair cut, I saw some dreadlocked, Badly-drawn-boy-style-hat wearing, creative studies people looking at a bird that looked like it was probably blind. A girl with pink hair asked if I knew the number of the RSPCA, she seemed genuinely destressed. I was not at all surprised that it was these kind of people who were helping the bird and it kind of gave me more faith in people. Although a lot of people wouldn't stop to help a dying man in a road, these people seemed to genuinely care about the bird, and not in a 'aw, isn't it cute' kind of way. I was a little upset that, by cutting my hair, I have distanced my self from them a little, but then I'm weird like that.

Message-ID: <3AB11914.92A0B95B@york.ac.uk> Hello sinister people, I've been gone for quite some time, but now I have returned. Since I last wrote, I have grown bigger. I'm now at big school, although as my girlfriend keeps rreminding me, I'm still not big enough for big school. I have moved to a big city, York, it's got lots of people in it and lots of great shops for purchasing second hand clothes, CD's and Ribena, but more importantly it has lots of sinister people. I feel very proud to have introduced Mr. Stuart Hallifax and Miss. Jo Shepherd to the list, and am also aware of other list members here in York. I have managed to avoid Feather Boa ever since I got here which is quite bizarre in a university of 6,000 people; she remains a myhtical figure. I keep looking at people with badges, but I'm sure none of them are her. It's very embarrasing. Why do people wear badges on their lapels? It looks as though I'm staring at things I shouldn't be! Belle And Sebastian have been the best way to make friends at uni as well. A Bus t-shirt is *the* fashion item to have around campus if you want to make friends. All the talk of gigs is very exciting, although I've been poorly with glandular fever for some time and don't know if I'll be fit enough to go and see them. Boo hoo. I must commend Mr. Hallifax on his bands cover of TIJAMRS in a recent campus gig; most entertaining. I've failed my exams. I've decided philosophy is hard, economics is boring and politics is a mixture of the two. Saturday is home time. I get to move back to my small village which will be nice because I will get away from the big scary city which has lots of floods and ducks (refer to post by S.Hallifax for more information). Bye bye for now, Chris Jones. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Ahhhhhh, now I cant stop listening to them. There music is MADE for spring time. From what I have read on there web site is that they have toured With b&s a few times . Has anyone ever seen them live??? I hope they play in Califorina soon. My dream show would be Lucksmiths opening for B&s and Morrissey jumps out of the crowd and sings some Smiths songs and then PULP comes from thin air and plays a long set. ahhh its nice to dream. Well back to The Lucksmiths if anyone gets the chance check out the song (T-shirt weather) it's soooooo so good. It makes you want to just cut class and ride your bike all over town in a t-shirt. just like B&S sone (Legal Man) makes me want to call in sick to work. hehehehe!!!! anti-hero Jason A. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Isn't in vol 2 (of 3) when he goes to live in the barracks and has chocolate with the soldier? I have to tell you gals, the way the soldiers love silly Marcel really rankles with me. The way he treats the gals at the end of vol one is even worse. I 'like' Proust and all, but I sure dislike it too. THE QUIET PUB WHERE WE FIRST MEET Ally96 sometimes talks about the Visitors and wonders why no-one else openly likes them. I know what he means: I like them, but only in the back of my mind. I mean, I think abstractly that I like them, but that they're mostly not so special. BUT - this is the point - then I play their CD again, and the first 3 tracks never fail to excite, to move, to thrill. I'm serious - the melancholy jaunt of 'Goldmining' with its bravura chorus leaps; the extraordinary tumble into the horses'-hooves rush of 'Bliss' with its backward guitar shimmering in, its incredibly poignant chorus; the audacious way the singer hurls himself up the enjambement* of 'sleeping / pills', which I think is in 'Back At My Pied-a-Terre'. These songs do buzz, do take me along with them, wherever it is they're going for a minute. And frankly, the rest of the LP is pretty good too; but I've usually managed to tie my laces by then. [*: a tube station in London.] TODAY I LEARNED AN IMPORTANT TRUTH ABOUT MEN People talked about Sex & The City. I have this to say about that programme: the obvious thing to say about it is, 'It's pure froth and fantasy, nothing to do with real NYC life'. But the funny thing is that when I saw it last week, it really *did* remind me of real NYC life. Only the facial hair was missing, really. That is one of two things that I have to say about television&NewYorkCity. But they're such *twentieth-century* topics that I'm going to bail out of the theme now. What next, a book about How And Where Miles Davis Recorded Kind Of Blue? IT REMAINS UNRESOLVED Has anyone ever thought that the gift of melody might be genetically transmitted? Has anyone yet bought the Lollies to serve as an Art Pop Project once a year? Where is Miller anyway? Not to mention Utah. COOKIE CHALLENGE Cookie96 once said: >>> I felt I could almost have been seeing the band myself. Perhaps I could have been. I was in the city at the time (I usually am) which I think was funny; why did nobody write and say so? >>> I was too distracted with dashing into coffee-shops (houses?) looking for Nu-Yoikers. Which Nu-Yoikers? ANY Nu-Yoikers. I don't understand. >>> Someone should write a song about it. They probably have. They? >>> Maybe I should write a song about it. No, that would probably be a bad idea. It would never live up to expectations. It would never live up to Expectations. Oooh! >>> As Calumn Shearer once said whilst driving down a side-street with parked cars on either side at 60mph; "I like a challenge". We were in pursuit of a bus. It's a short story. I thought this was really funny, too. Again nobody said so. I wonder why not. Do 96's posts only get delivered to my account or something? >>> But Pinefox, surely YOU are a sensitive boy? Aren't you? I'm a fluorescence. >>>the go-betweens. if i had to justify my love, it wouldn't be love You See? No. Or rather, yes. I said all that on my Orange Juice post weeks ago, mon. WITHIN THESE CINEMA WALLS About that soundtrack. Sorry there'e been no news for a while, but things are moving again. The title has been changed to 'A Delerious Kiss In The Dreamhouse'. It was something else last week. It'll change again. Mark my Cazzas. Right now I'm renegotiating with the guitarist from Camera Obscura to play the lead stuff, after we scrapped the stuff we had in the can by Ally96 and Stevie Jackson. The former was too expensive, the latter not really talented enough. This CO guy could be the answer. This movie is going to play big, see. It's all about the money, it's all about the money. It's all about Cynthia Stevenson. It's all about Louise Lasser. I need a drink. Marcel? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Just last night I had another dream involving b&s, also my second this year and ever. It involved me sitting with some friends of mine while I tried to study Welsh. Then someone behind me said "Do you like belle and sebastian?" I was taken aback because there was no way this person could have known this. I found myself stammering "Yes" to a very lovely boy, wavy black hair, delectably tall and skinny. Sorry, Blake, but I must agree with the girl in the gym: skinny pale guys ARE sexy. So my lovely boy says "What's this?" and sits down in my chair with me. He's Welsh and he wants to help me with my studies! Oh rapture... We are setting up a study date and smiling at eachother when ... I wake up. Phooey. It's the real world and there are no lovely Welsh boys who want to help me. The cheese stands alone (farmer in the dell anyone?) I was always the bloody cheese, alone. Oh well, that put a damper on my day, what with fantasy being so much more attractive than reality.

All this talk of favourite softdrinks has gotten me a bit weepy, because sadly enough, my favourite softdrink is no longer available to the general public. This bottle (can, rather) of wonderful was known as Josta, and was manufactured by PepsiCo, who I am sure have committed a similar number of atrocities. It took me quite awhile to realize it'd been taken off the shelves, because I don't get out much. Finally one day I got it in me to call up PepsiCo, and ask whatever happened to Josta. So I did, and they said that it had been discontinued due to lack of positive public response, which saddened me greatly and made me long for the days where I had a cool Josta in my right hand. This wasn't just any softdrink, it was flavoured by guarana berries which I imagine are very rare. My friend Stephen and I even passed around a petition at school to bring back Josta. But I think that I may have lost all the signatures, so our first attempt at reviving Josta was a failure. However some boy gave me a Josta baseball cap, which he had gotten as a promotional item at a show. It had the black leopard that was their emblem emblazoned on the front and in proud letters beneath read "Josta." I gave it to Stephen for his help in getting signatures, even though I had lost them. For now I suppose that coffee will have to satiate my hunger for caffeien... but to this day there is a leopard sized hole in my heart that pangs with remorse for not supporting this drink with greater zeal upon its introduction. Josta; gone- but not forgotten. Humbly yours, Timothy xoxo The Self-Appointed Defender of the Creative Merits of Beyond the Sunrise.

Ribena sounds like something I very much would not like. But chocolate milk and cherry coke were mentioned in recent posts, and I thoroughly approve of those. In regard to animal testing--does the fact that you must squeeze cows teats to obtain chocolate milk make it cruel? Or do the cows like it? Vodka is nasty mixed with most things. Especially orange juice. I can't even drink orange juice anymore, because I've thrown it up so many times when it was mixed with alcohol. So now I totally associate the taste with vomit. My husband is reading "The Red House Mystery" by A. A. Milne. I read it a long time ago, and don't remember much about it except that it was really good. Strange that he should only be remembered for his children's books ("Winnie the Pooh"), when he was capable of writing such a fine, funny mystery. Hmmm, B+S content. In "Beautiful", a bit of the trumpet part reminds me of "And I Love Her" by the Beatles. The "a love like ours will never die" part. Also the guitar solo in "I Could Be Dreaming" reminds me of early-ish Beatles. Which is good. I think "I've just seen a face" is a song that Stuart could sing convincingly and well. Bedtime for me, Jenny Janitoria P.S. I always skip the third song on FYHCYWLAP too. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!

Apparently their caterwauling vocalists, Pam and Joe, complement each other beautifully. Yeah, well so did Arthur Mullard and Hilda Baker, mate. It is in an article about bunged-up forty-something schoolboys The Clientele. The author has a sly dig at B$S while he's at it. The $ in B$S was a mistake, but I'll leave it in as a comment on the recent MP3 furore. I don't think ideas are free. Mine bloody well aren't. Except the ones in this message. I tricked myself into buying the new reissue of Love's FC album, apparently the DoW trumpet on AAO is there because the producer was working with Herb Alpert at the time. So when Stuart said to Mick, "play like Love" he could have saved himself a lot of time and trouble by saying, "play like Herb Alpert". Also, AHINAM used to just cut off in a searingly psychedelic psych-out manner, whereas now it fades out boringly. Why? BM's OM is based on a tune by Prokofiev. Never heard of them, must be a prog rock outfit. Have you tried Co-op Ribena? Just a suggestion. It tastes better, the bottle's less effeminate and you get Co-op stamps instead of Green Shield ones. And are you people drinking your Ribena out of plastic beakers with childproof lids? If not, ask yourself this question: AM I TWEE ENOUGH? Thanks to Carsmile Steve for that excellent Peacock Johnson review. It told me everything I wanted to know. I thought something had gone wrong with the list for a minute.

Greetings from the Land of Fruits and Nuts (CALIFORNIA), Let me tell you, one tends to fall asleep driving to New York from here. The European equivalent trying to drive to Velocity's house (Greece) from Croydon. Any-frickin-hoo, all this talk about Beyond the Sunrise brought up a gripe (here he goes again...jeez). Does anyone notice the pronounced finger squeak on the acoustic guitar part. It's all "Joseph was (squeak) traveling (squeak)...." Man, oh man, is that ever annoying! That guitar is crying out in a voice not unsimilar to Groundskeeper Willie (the Jar-Jar Binks of the Simpsons)"Grease me down, Woman!" Speaking of which.... Why is everything cheap (in America) described as Scottish? 1)scotch tape 2)Scottish Inns 3) MacFrugal's (i swear there is a chain store called that here) Lotsa subtle racism......... Here's more food for thought: Even as a youngster growing up in a small southern town...I noticed that people with Celtic Backgrounds were treated differently. Most of those slave owners we all love to hate are English in origin. The poor tenant farmers who worked their lands were generally Irish and Scottish. In the slow moving South, this attitude of Celts being poor white trash is slow to erode, and even persists today exploited on shows like Jerry Springer. Another fact: In New Orleans, the dirtiest, scummiest part of town was and still is called the Irish Quarter. In America: If you look white, you are white (i.e. anglo-saxon). Whatever white is.... Are french people not latin? Not in the US. Mexicans who are more than half Native American are considered more latin. Are Italian people Latin? Not in the US. Look at it like this.... There are people from India who are way darker that any African-Americans I grew up with. What about the micronesians? Aborigines?

Live it up People!! Message-ID: Boy it can be lonely back here behind the lurker curtain. There's even lurkers back here who are lurking within the lurker community. I have been on the list now for a year or so but I was under a different email address. So I just thought I would email the list with this address before I vanish like a mans or womans penis, she-males and all that, on a cold winters day. I must say I am enjoying this ribena debate thing that is going on right now. Ribena is a very tasty drink but it does not contain any alcohol, unless of course you add your own ingredients. There has been mention of Dr Pepper(Bloody Tasty), and I can't remember who mentioned the Robinsons and other brands of diluted juice and the fact that it makes you more thirsty. That is one fine point that this figment of my imagination said. I agree whole-heartedly on that one. I applaud you whoever you may be. My favourite drink is easy. A nice cool pint of dry blackthorn. Oh very tasty, very tasty indeed. Just today there was also mention of The Lucksmiths. I have a few tunes downloaded and I must say they are superb little ditties. Especially Edward Sandwich Hand. Superb!!!!!! All this talk about B&S, The Smiths, The Lucksmiths and so on. But I have not even heard Tom McRae being mentioned on here at all. Someone else, other than me, must have heard the musical genius that is Tom McRae. If not then get to d/ling people. Purleeeeeeeeease. Anyhoo I'll be off before I bore the shit out of all of you. Now you can see why these chubby little digits don't bother posting that often. No its not because my fingers are to chubby for these keys but there is nothing worth shouting about in my measley mundane life. Except Belle and Sebastian of course!!!!! That goes wothout saying.

Of course you don't, but I have a follow up for you anyway... I was at the Maddona night my student union organised for comic relef (pure hell on wheels) because my friends were doing a 'vogue' dance to raise money. I was there till about 2, when it shut, and I bumped into on of the girls who had been helping the bird. She's cute, kind of shirt, with hippy type cloths, and short (can't have everything I suppose, maybe she'll grow it) pink hair. She came over to me (I think, I was a little tipsey, having been in the bar since 8 to support my friends) and I told her how great it was that she bothered to help the bird. I also told her that I was so touched I was moved to tell the story on this list. I asked if she liked Belle and Sebastian and she said yes... though possibly a little to passively. I chatted to her for about five minutes, and I think she liked me (though my judgement may have been a little impaired), then her bus started leaving. It was at that point I'm glad I was drunk, because otherwise I wouldn't have asked for her number. She said she didn't have her mobile and couldn't remember her number, she asked her friends, but they couldn't remember either. She told me her address is 56 Kilders Road (There is something quite sweet about that address), which I forgot till I went to wash my hands this morning, thinking she hadn't actually left me any way to contact her (hense wasn't really interested), and found it written on my hand. She also told me she'd be at the union on Monday at one, and she'd generally be about in Uni. I hope this works out... I'm pretty excited.

However, the comparison doesn�t convince me. We make a choice to turn the page. And, having done so, the page remains in existence. The page remains to haunt us. And, eventually, we relent and turn back to it. Poetry by email? One click. No traces. A memory-free medium. Is a poetry-free medium. I lie in my bed, gazing over to my bookcase. Noticing suddenly the spine of a book; a book not read for years. Intruiged, I struggle to my feet and immerse myself in the words.. Cold words � black on white � which only now, for the first time, reach out to me from their paper prison. I am hooked, at last. We need TIME to be won over by words of poetry. The internet is a medium celebrated for overcoming Time and Distance. It is a medium of immediacy. The sheer volume of information means that one cannot be grabbed so, for one can barely tell, or understand, where one idea ends and the next begins. I find it hard to touch anything. I find it hard to care. And perhaps I am bemoaning another Guttenberg Bible, taking exception to the vulgarisation of a traditional form. For, when push comes to shove, am I not simply grumpy about getting headaches while staring too intently at computer screens?

We then went to Nanjing Road where I said to her, "this is the only place you can find Tigermilk these days."(I had a post-war or post-something-big feeling when I said this in my dream) Because she was wondering why we didn't go to Beijing Road instead. (I'm from China so presumably I was at home when this happened, because Beijing Road is the most popular shopping area, hence the 'why not Beijing Road' question. But the strange thing is, there isn't any Nanjing Road in Guangzhou...) So I led her to an obscure apartment somewhere down the Road. I knew where this place was because someone else showed me how to get there before. So we got in, and when I was about to hand her the CD that I fetched from a shelf, a young woman came in the room, it seemed like she was a management type of person of the band.(Katrina?) She asked me what I was doing, I told her I was trying to get this old woman a Tigermilk CD. Then she pointed to the old woman and said, "well she looked more like a man than a woman to me."(What sense does this make?? It just sounds hilarious to me, not in my dream, but when I type it out) The old woman, upon hearing this, took off her sunglasses. Then suddenly the young woman was jumping and hugging the old woman, shouting, "Jenowl! Long time no see!"(the whole thing is just so manga or anime like) and it seemed to me that the young woman knew all along she was Jenowl but just wanted to tease me. In the meantime I noticed that on the desk right below the shelve there was a letter written to Isobel by some male member of the band. (I just knew it was either Stevie or Mick) I went through it quickly (just couldn't help) and found out that it was basically a love letter. There was another letter placed near by that. I didn't open it (it was well folded) but I assumed it was a reply from Isobel. (by now I was alone in the room, the young woman and Jenowl left) I also found a third letter by the window, and without opening it I knew it was for another female band member from another male band member. Somehow I took all three letters and managed to drop them unintentionally, and couldn't tell each other apart. (why I couldn't tell them apart? I don't know, maybe they all look the same all of a sudden) and I felt something bad was going to happen. I walked out of the room to a lounge, where I saw all the band members and the young woman mentioned above and Jenowl. (this would be a sufficient reason why this is a dream =) They were arguing about something, something involving Isobel and maybe Stuart. Someone said, "There are so much trouble and it's all because of you!" directing at Isobel. And some others agreed, saying, "because you were always 'the main female character' of the band, it's always natural to pair you up with Stuart, 'the main male character' of the band. But it's not right, there should never be a main female character, you should just be like the rest of us." Isobel was mad, I could tell, and she ran into another room (her's I assumed). Then the rest of the band started telling Stuart that what they just said was true and it was for the best of the band to get rid of Isobel. Before long Stuart was convinced, and they started to discuss who should replace Isobel. One of them said it should be someone..., and Stuart said it should be someone that knows how to ...tracking. (... represents the exact words that they used that I forgot) Then all of a sudden they all look at me, and I knew they were going to say, "you know how to track ..., right?" To which I responded with a nervous yes. Quickly after this Isobel came back in with a suitcase (apparently they all live here). She was very angry, and instead of talking back to the other band members, she walked up to Anna (a newly joined band member, it was only in my dream, and for some reason she was called Anna) and said to her, "you have clean teeth, you should use some bloody English..." at which point I woke up. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I still haven't decided which day I hate the most, Saturday or Sunday... Saturday... the day of DistRaction... the day the masses are going out to have some fun... seems almost obligatory to go out on Saturday night... and have fun... clubs, loud music, smoke, tasteless bad music, tasteless people... the Field Mice are playing at the back... it's Field Mice night... "if you need someone to hold you when you're afraid, I'll hold you..." Interesting... interesting place that is.. I think I'll stay and see what happens, like Dan Treacy would say... but Dan Treacy is homeless in London and all his friends are big and successful, eg, Mr. Alan McGee, the devil, as someone called him... oh, I'd buy Wichita 7"s over POptones 7"s any time... you see, Wichita is the label of the guitarist of Biff Bang Pow! and in my humble opinion a much better label than Poptones... Wichita has Her Space Holiday and Bright Eyes... both excellent... especially Her Space Holiday... Anyway, and I'm afraid Dan Treacy will die soon and then all the big labels will fight over his dead corpse and then a box set will be released and everyone will buy it and say what a great band the TVPs were... I'm very ill with a bad bad flu... maybe that explains it all... worse thing is I smoke and it tastes awful... what a cuRse, not to be able to enjoy a ciggie! I was riding on my scooter today and I was listening to my walkman as usual... "century of fakers" came on... what a great song that is... my fave B&S 7"... definitely... sometimes I ride and making video clips in my head... people are passing by... I sing out loud... a middle-aged woman sees her son off at the bus-station in her pyjamas and she's wearing trainers... an old couple is crossing the street holding hands... I went to the post office to post some pressies to someone... there was this huge queue... a girl came in and she looked so much like Sarah (B&S)... she was holding a bag writting SUMMER on it... with big orange letters... blinding letteRs... then I went to the uni and I saw her again... she went into the lift with me... she asks something in english... I reply and ask her where is she from... Belgium... she looks like Sarah and I avoid to look at her big bag with the blinding letters... I hate SummeR anyway... it's very hot... I love the Rain... Rain is betteR than snow... it's clear... it washes the earth and leaves this smell... I dreamt of our Honeyboobles the other day... she was wearing this long white dress and under that a lace silk slip... she was telling me that we should go for a walk by the river near the honeyhouse... so we did, and we were holding hands like best giRlfRens do, looking at boys and giggling... Honey was wearing this white dress with puffy sleeves and I was so jealous... She whooshes brightly, like Mazzy StaR would sing... I was talking with someone on the phone... he was in London... and I could hear Mazzy StaR playing at the back... their first record... and we talked about petrol bombs and roofs and pRomise-Lands... I've got BRieR's parcel a couple of days ago... thank you BRieR... there was a nice children's book in there... and in my dReam I was giving to Honey BRieR's book... stRange... On a maRRieR note, Paul booked our tickets to see CineRama on the 27th April in London... his, mine and Elena's tickets... I think that is a good thing since it'll make me go to London and not postpone it again... And CaRey is coming too... I love CaRey... and we're going to have a picnic again on the 1st May... 1st May, 1st SinisteR picnic... hide your vodka bottles in your handbags...

(i'm sorry the latter hurts my ears. anyone else struan is off key on this song? i don't think it's been mentioned on this list before) so it's a mixed bag. and it's way too overproduced. that's the B&S snob in me. i want more anonymous noises like the cardigan zip on "expectations". more more more! maybe the unzipping of isobel's skirt? boy that would make a track memorable. oh doctor. oh me. oh my. 4. sorry for posting twice in such a short amount of time. i will now go into hibernation. for another week or so that is. hardy har har love blake the nerdy shy eyed pacifist the palace of heartbreak - http://members.tripod.com/nucleartrout - newly updated! more stuff for everyone to suffer through! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

"let the world see your eyes, jay! you'll look you age too!" well, people do seem to think that i look older glassless, but bah! i ain't giving them up. i did take a few self portraits last night with a naked face though, so depending on how much they hurt my wee bit of vanity, i might send one in. now, now, patience. :) and again, blake, just go with the pale. trust me. work it. i'm naturally pale until the sun hits me. then i turn a deep dark brown, at least on the little bit of skin i actually expose. very frustrating, i don't want to be dark, but at least i don't burn easily. must be a mixture of the european genes in me. jay "i wanted a mission, and for my sins they gave me one" +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

If you're going to poison yourself (cigarettes/ribena/alcohol), it's best not to do it by halves (filters/toothkind/mixers respectively).

He was oh so lonely. > Verse Two: He was about to lay down to another night of sleeping alone and a quick session before turning in.

Message-ID: Hello, Do you ever get that funny lead like feeling in your stomach. I used to get it all the time and I could never work out why. Sometimes it would progress to an aching throat, thena desire to just curl up in bed at home. I used to get it when I was sleeping over at people's houses and i felt homesick, or when i didn't want to go to school. Now I mostly just get it when I'm drunk. Usually in that moment when you sit in the toilets and it's fairly quiet and you go 'aaah shit. where am I. I want ovaltine. help.' Anyway, I was reminded this morning of how horrible it is, when my sister rang me up at 3am. She's six years old ( awww, sweet ) and she was at her first sleepover. Or rather, in her case, her first night of tossing(no, not in that way you naughty people) and turning in a house that just doesn't smell right. My best friend Zoe's house always used to smell of stirfry. which may be the subconcious reason for my subsequent decision to end our friendship. Apparently my sister's friend's house smelt of dogs. I can understand why she decided to sneak to the phone in the middle of the night to ask for my help in escaping. Which i willingly gave. How nice am I? I got her home, and we sat and watched Babar the Elephant together. I love the french accents in that.Are they real. i have always thought they were very sexy. probably not the intended response. we also listened to Tigermilk. Colette( mys sis ) is a big fa. She knows all the songs and thinks Struan is lovely. her favourite is 'She's Losing It' Particularly the bit about coffe tasting like washing up. Which makes her laugh. Does that make her one of the youngest fans. I got her hooked about 2 years ago, so she's had the habit for 1/3 of her life. Which makes it sound like I am forcing some wierd addiction on a young and innocent mind. But I reckon it's ok to be addicted to B+S. hmm. Better than ribena. can't stand the stuff. Give me fruit juice over fruit flavoured juice drink any day.

Message-ID: Well, well, well. I've just returned to Washington from my wee holiday in San Francisco, which you may remember was taken to see a certain band called Weezer who seem to have been taking a little bit of criticism from our members lately. That's okay. I'll allow it. They are not the perfect band. They are a bit whingy (an odd complaint for B&S fans though). They have a few too many midtempo numbers, neither full on rockers or real ballads. The song 'Butterfly' is a little embarrassing. But what you must appreciate is that for those of us who have a deep desire to RAWK but cannot abandon our pop sensibilities and don't want to be made miserable or complicit in someone else's nonconsentual mosh pit groping, they fill an important niche. Also, a friend of mine works for Amazon.com and has looked up Rivers Cuomo's account to see what he's buying and it is really quite touching. The entire Beach Boys and Beatles catologs were purchased on the same day and the books have mainly been self-help: "How to Talk to People", "Finding Your Comfort Zone", "How to Excel in Social Situations." Twee enough for you? I think it was Archel who said: apropos of nothing much, i seem to have a strange phobia of bands whose names begin with 'w'.� wheatus.� weezer.� ween.� wilco (criminally overrated).� wheat.� they all make me think of whining, whingeing, wimping, wetting and other dismal things.� purely a trick of phonetics (maybe), but hard to get over. That is so unfair. What about WAR, the Who, Tom Waits, Wings, Warrant, Whitesnake, Winger, the Wallflowers, Westlife, Wham!...er, I was supposed to making a point wasn't I? Nevermind. So now for the personal stuff for all the voyeurs. While I was in SF I was staying with an ex-girlfriend I hadn't seen in a couple of years (a very serious and long-term one). It went about as well as could be expected: we had fun together, we still like each other and without having to talk about it at all I think it was clear to both of us why we don't go out anymore. That kind of closure I think was necessary. It was I who broke up with her and she was very hurt. For my part everything since then it has been a series of nothing-worth-mentionings and one utter disaster which have left me longing for the kind of closeness that she and I had. After this weekend though I think she feels that even for all the hurt she wouldn't want us to still be together and I know for sure that that part of my past is something I don't care to visit except in memory. A weekend older a weekend wiser. Why do I tell you all this stuff?

Message-ID: <3f.122d41a8.27e6a3f7@aol.com> I hope this letter finds you all well, maybe even eating chocolate, I am touched by all of you who have trouble with your contact lenses. I am blessed with relative ease in putting mine in. Now before you begin muttering to yourselves, "The lucky bastard, she sooooooo does not know her father" I am not blessed in that my need for them increased with each passing second. I went from not needing glasses to not being able to drive legally without them in a year. Every time I go without contacts I start to hear in my head "They let Kara go blind, let Kara go blind, let Kara go bli-i-ind. Phooey. Well I attended a wedding yesterday. I was a shock of color among the dark colors of middleaged people in my bright blue dress with one strap. I completely looked like a seventeen year old a wedding. I became convinced that the dj was a b&s fan. I asked him if he would play some for me. The silly lied that he didn't know them. I danced to the ramones anyway. The only other young people there were the wait staff and over the course of the night I developed a crush on one of them, a tall boy, too tall for his tux, how adorable. I smiled at him, and (gasp!) he smiled back. So it went throughout the night, until mother dear announced that we were leaving. I smiled again, but shyness took hold and I said nothing. The most I could manage was a feeble wave as I left. Now this morning I had convinced myself that it was for the best. I am exceptionally good at preserving the perfection of my lonliness. I thought "It would be bad to start something anyway, since I'll be of! ! f to college soon." I have sinc e changed my mind. I think there must be so many times where shyness gets the better of me and I don't know what I'm missing. I know someone who works with him, so I'm going to try to talk to him. I'm taking initiative and not resigning myself to continual defeat. I hope he doesn't think I'm weird. Phooey.

As soon as it struck I recognised it for what it was, it was a delaying tactic. I was neither in the mood to go to bed or to write some more essay (though those were the only things I should be.. or even consider doing) so my subconscious quickly came up with something else to do. Imagine my surprise when I found a lovely honey scented email telling me that I could have a voice (but only if I used it wisely and was very, very good). Now, writing a fifteen minute email might ordinarily be a problem for me, but when I'm trying my hardest to not write an essay (especially one due in very soon) then this sort of thing becomes much easier. Don't get me wrong; of course I'll do the essay, but I still have fifteen hours, and I only need to sleep for eight of those. Perhaps I should mention a little about myself (not too much now, that would be dull); I'm from Harrogate, nineteen and studying English at Aberystwyth uni. Indeed, another English student enraptured with Belle and Sebastian, I don't suppose anyone will be surprised. Having spotted the idea of many English students being fans the other day on the list, I tried it out, mentioning the band casually in my seminar... I got a murmor of surprised approval from my tutor, though the rest of the group didn't seem especially taken. Content-ish wise>>> I saw a girl the other day who looked very much like she should be a devoted fan. I think it was her hair and clothes. At the time I was at a not too impressive surprise party for a friend, a little bored and not entirely sober (it's a fine line). Anyway, I was a little taken by her, and hadn't seen her before, so I commented- "I don't suppose you know Belle and Sebastian do you, as you REALLY look like you should be a fan". To me of course this was a compliment, a very nice thing to say: but I suppose that if you didn't know who Belle and Sebastian are it might seem a little strange, worrying even. So she just looked puzzled. As it turned out we live very close, so I told her that I'd like to lend her some, but, to be honest I think she was a bit scared. I doubt that I'll see her again. Incidently, she wore glasses too, and I think it added to her Belle-and-Sebastianicity, they certainly suited her. I've always wondered what happened to other people when their parents hear the band. My Dad is getting quite fond of them now. He gave me a lift to uni in september and I left FYHC in his car, he really liked it, saying it reminded him of Simon and Garfunkle, fair enough; usually he says something along the lines of "It is/was a little noisy" when he hears my music. So I recommended he try IYFS, as I personally prefer it muchly. My Mum by contrast came out with the most ridiculous statement "You shouldn't listen to that sort of thing in public, people will make assumptions about your sexuality", I just laughed at her (she also said the same thing about reading Oscar Wilde in public) I found it very amusing that she could say something that silly, she must be getting old. Right then, that's all from here for now, I'd just like to say how much I've enjoyed reading some of your posts over the last couple of weeks, and really I have, as on the whole they're well written and funny. I'm off to fiddle about with my newly acquired Bass guitar (which I'm getting very enthused about at the moment, my second intrument after the beautifully cheap didgereedoo) in order to further facilitate putting off the completion of my English essay. Love and such.

Funny why suddenly at 3am with two major project to do before I go to bed, I want to tell a story on sinister... On a cold, cold winter day, he was standing at the coach station, waiting for his bus to take him home. Without a book or anything to read or do, he just stood there, watching the people around. There are many people at the coach station, all doing their things: some sitting down, reading; some groups of friends chatting; some checking the time tables; some couples cudding, having romantic goodbye kisses - a contrast to him just there, standing, and watching it all. Of course, there are other people on their own too, a couple of girls caught his eyes, one girl had a very distinct northern look about her, he was intriged to know what her accent sounds like, but, a coach drove pass, she got on, she was gone. That was the last of his worries tho, as the girl that he really cannot keep his eyes away from was just standing there, patiently waiting. He was moved, by the way she stood still with her overcoat, by the way her hair gently flowed in the wind. If only she is travelling on the same coach, he hoped, although, what good is that going to do? Coach after coach they came and went, then, the girl walked towards a coach, he looked, "Oxford" it said, that wasn't where he's going. He sighed, turned away again to watch the children running around. Moments later, another coach arrives, he looked, and indeed it was the right bus for him, then, he looked again, this time not on the right bus, but instead on his right, stood the girl.. she didn't get onto the Oxford bus, afterall. He managed a glance at her ticket, and heavens! She is going the same way as him. He got onto the coach, taking the window seat, leaving a seat on the aisle free, just hoping that the rest of the seats will be filled and she will have no choice but to sit next to him. The girl got onto the coach, walking along, she walked just passed his row, never mind. Then, she took a glance at the coach, took a glance at the empty seat, took a glance at him, his heart is pounding, she sat down. Is this the act of God? She is right there next to him, he thinks, or, at least, tries. Does this mean that she likes him? The fact that she chose the seat after having thoughts? Does she in fact have the same feeling towards him? What can he do? Talk to her? About what? He couldn't think of anything to do, so he just tried the wimpy technique of miming, she took off her overcoat, so, moments later, he done the same. Taking shy glances at her lovely face every now and again. He doesn't know what else to do. He decides to take out his notepad, maybe he can impress her with his super dooper creative writing, or just his handsome penmanship, and she would ask him questions, make comments, "chat him up". 5 mins later, he still couldn't think of a drop of ink to write about, so, he decides to throw in the towel, and do his geometry coursework instead. Whilst indulging in his geometry, the girl shuffled around her bag, and taken out, a notepad! What is this? She began to also do her coursework, not in geometry tho, something with lots of writings in. He thought about making a comment, to "chat her up", but, he didn't, he would only have made a fool out of himself. So, the journey went on, an hour and a half doing geometry next to the girl of your dreams on a bus takes a long time, and his journey was about to end, he collected his notes into his bag, and tried to recollect his glances at the girl, so it'd stay in his mind, although that would only haunt him in bittersweet dreams. The driver announced a scheduled stop before the terminal station, he took very little notice, as he wasn't stopping until the end. Excuse me? He heard in a sweet voice. He shook off his hallucinations. Excuse me? He heard again, he turned his head, the girl was staring him straight in the eyes. What did the driver say? She asked. He took a deep breath. This bus is going to stop at Clifton before the terminal. He replied. His head spun like wildfire, she was actually speaking to him. Was that a "chatting up"? He doesn't know, should he carry on talking to her? Or would that be rude? Or is it rude to *not* to talk to her now? He freezed to think, he managed the freeze bit. Minutes later, the bus arrived at the terminal, she got off the bus, and so did he, left wondering, nothing but wondering, as per usual... I don't know why I had to tell this boring story instead of doing my coursework, I'll probably do worse than I did for that geometry work now......

Message-ID: <03754DDCC645D311AA6700805F854E43027754A9@lotus.ntu.ac.uk> Well, it appears that it's almost picnic time again. So how come there was snow outside this morning then? Carsmile did suggest that the first picnic should be on April 28th, which I think is a very silly idea. Because I'll be in Holland that weekend. And anyway, the weekend after (5th/6th/7th May) is a Bank Holiday... Someone thought that last time I posted I was having a go at Americans for trying to take over the world and killing innocent people along the way. But, well, I'm British, we can't really talk, let's face it. We've provided a large proportion of history's worst offenders - I mean, most people in this country still think of Sir Francis Drake as a national hero, when he was actually the world's worst pirate. Everyone who has ever built a vast empire has comitted atrocities along the way - Spain in South America, Britain in Africa and Australia, France in Africa, Japan in the Far East, the Spice Girls in the music business... There is a cure for shyness when it comes to talking to girls - just go out and get rat-arsed first. It worked for me at the weekend at a St Paddy's Day party. That is to say, I managed to speak to her. I've just got to work on the next bit of the process now. And now, ladies and gentlemen, for the first (and probably only) time, I present you: content! I was being all egotistical (as you do), and a bit bored, so I did a search for my own name on the internet. And I have discovered that there is someone called Stuart Gardiner who plays bass in a band called The Big Figures (http://www.bigfigures.co.uk/), who've played a few gigs at Glasgow Uni Student Union, and who used to have as their lead singer a certain Mr Stuart Murdoch. Now that's freaky... The boy Miller's back. Praise the lord.

They will also be playing some songs. This is not good or useful for anyone going to ATP, but perhaps Something For The Weekend for those London Listees not drifting evermore inexorably inevitably Camberwards. Who IS going? And as far as contacts are concerned, what's the general opinion on those coloured ones? I met a boy once at a party who wore green contacts with cat-eye pupils. He was already kinda foxy, but wow those eyes were astonishing. I took him the top of a staircase almost immediately. And what THAT means, will remain a mystery. It's a grey day in London, but the weekend was lovely. I went down to Brighton and played quarte4ts. Hmm, interesting and serendipitous typo! Does anyone else on the list like playing chamber music?

I was in a room with some friends and then that advert for Teachers came on and I exclaimed loadly "Wow, it's The Boy With The Arab Strab" and we met be looks of bemusement, confusion, and utter contempt... ho hum. I saw that girl today, the one with the pink hair. She was just leaving out student union and she kind of said "hello" and "You ok" in a very none-commital way. I tried to strike up a conversation and she said she had to go to put some flyers up for the college ellection, for her housemate. Later I was in my halls of residence and I saw her again, again I tried to strike up a conversation and she just kind of passed me a flyer and wondered off. I was a little upset. 4/1 girl/boys ratio on my campus and I can't get anyone vaguely cool (I get all the really dumb, desperate girls, or the 'I'm so cool' brigade, nothing in between)... oh well, maybe next time. I think I sacred this one by being drunk on Friday. Finally... where is this picnic? Can someone mail me. I REALLY want to go... but no-one wants me *shyly hides head on chest*, I'm just going to sit here and type till someone notices me. You will notice me won't you. Please? I'll hold up a sign.

Message-ID: I was riding on a bus on Saturday, through bucolic West Lothian. We passed a field of sheep, all laid on their sides with their legs outstreched, and my automatic reaction was that they had all been killed. I have been watching the news too much; although i've been trying not to because it's depressing. All those dead animals being forklifted about and burned. Today, i went to get groceries. I walked past the meat counter in Safeway, and saw all the packets of "fresh" meat -- mince, chops, etc -- were a horrible brown-grey colour. The lamb chops were a shiny green. i'm sure this isn't right. Later on Saturday I hit myself on the forehead with a spanner, but that's entirely incidental. I have a lovely scab, though. I was down the local bookshop the other day, and noticed a wonderful-looking book of cartoons by a chap called Peter Blegvad. Not quite the E. Gorey of the new century, but near enough for my taste. According to a recent copy of the Guardian, he's a musician as well (although they filed him under "crossover" rather than "P!O!P!"). His main cartoon character is a little baby rather like the one on the front of Fairy Liquid bottles. I go through phases of liking cartoonists, actually. I used to think Stephen Appleby was great, but now he grates a little. Incidentally (again), the Guardian was what inspired me to buy my first B&S record, with its review of IYFS. They said it sounded as if they had spent too long without leaving their bedsit; i wonder sometimes if Sturan was thinking of that when writing I Fought In A War. i was going to say how my bum is all bruised still from when i kept falling over on the ice a few weeks back, but then i realised that i'd infringe the Body Parts Rule. so i won't.

So John Phillips (one of the Papas of the Mamas and...) has left this earth. Not a surprise, perhaps, but it still tugs at the heart strings a bit, doesn't it? If nothing else, the man had a way with words. In other news, Kara Jean said >I was always the bloody cheese, alone. which, out of context, just seems incredibly sketchy. I like it. Thus spake Sister Disco: >So when Stuart said to Mick, "play like Love" he could have saved himself a lot of time and trouble by saying, "play like Herb Alpert". So, not to be contentious, but isn't it actually easier and quicker to say 'Love' than to say 'Herb Alpert'? I mean, from a purely syllabic perspective and all? Jason de la Pickle (hi Jason!) noted Why is everything cheap (in America) described as Scottish? 1)scotch tape 2)Scottish Inns 3) MacFrugal's (i swear there is a chain store called that here) I would like to confirm the presence of the aforementioned MacFrugal's. Bizarre but true. Is this a California-only thing? It should be noted, however, that Scotch, which is described as Scottish (err, sort of), is not cheap. Done with my excessive quoting and rambling for now. In content-type news, yesterday's Boston Globe magazine featured an article on (shhhhhh!) quiet bands. It's devoted mostly to Low and Mojave 3, but B&S do get a mention. Check it out at http://www.boston.com/dailyglobe2/077/living/Quiet_riot+.shtml. Speaking of Low, is anyone planning to check them out when they make the trek to San Francisco next month? Also, I think Badly Drawn Boy is rolling into town sometime soon. Mmm mmm good. Although I'm totally a week behind the times on this discussion, I'd like to add my 2.5 cents on the sex songs discussion. Am I the only one who thinks Hefner's 'I Stole a Bride' is incredibly sexy? It makes me all squirmy. Funny, this message seemed like it would be much wittier and more interesting when I first started writing it. Right, then.

The best film ever, as everyone even remotely twee knows, is 'Edward Scissorhands'. Today after school Tony Meyer, a pathetic acned hanger-on to the faux-mod clique that I admire from the safe distance of the Greg-and-Faye clique, asked me if I was going to Westminster station to go home, knowing I was, forcing me to talk to him. Which on, the one hand sucked, but on the other hand made me feel popular. Anyway, he denied Edward Scissorhands was the best film ever. So I spat in his face. Heh, JenOWL and I, the twee hard kids. I doubt many people will like this post. Oh well. I just want to be Sinistrated, mummy! Are any Sinis in Tunisia on the first week of Easter? Thought not. That's just me and my mum and her boyfriend then. In a French speaking country, with them pretty much leaving me alone... my French isn't bad, but I can't stand not being understood, so I doubt I'll talk to anyone. And I'm glad, because what I am going to do is, I am going to practise tennis for about six hours a day. I am going to stand outside, in this blistering heat, hitting serves to no-one, sweat forming a river in my socks, a river with little fish and cabbages and things in. Perhaps the fish will be eating the cabbages. Or perhaps the cabbages will be eating the fish. Certainly, I will be hallucinating. And I do this to see if can get really, properly good, or whether I hit a plateau... I love tennis so much. I really do. For the fist time in my life, I am going to really apply myself to something. I never have, honestly, not even my GCSEs and things... this could matter. We'll see. A few weeks ago I found out that Matthew Brown had found my Sini posts in a search engine and read them. So, hopefully he'll read this: Matthew Brown, you are rather ugly. Not grotesque, and I am trying to keep everything I say about you reasonable, so you'll know this is what I actually think, but nonetheless, far from attractive. More to the point (well, alright less to the point for someone as utterly shallow as I've decided to be, but maybe more to the point for the rest of Sini), you are extremely, extremely irritating. You know that human beatbox routine you do in Further Maths lessons, you objectionable attention seeker (at least I'm a subtle attention-seeker with decent dress-sense)? I hate those. I hate the zaniness and "wacky" geekhumour that you stand for, and the virginial neverpulled misogyny that goes with it. Not that I'm never mysogynistic, but at least I'm funny when I am, and have the motive of trying to be liked. I hate the way you mention in every Further Maths lesson that you're not really a maths person because you also do History of Art and Physic A-Levels too, like you're somehow better than us all... so quit, you phony. If I knew I wouldn't get caught, I'd actually kill you. Never mind the guilt and the squeemishness and the grieving relations and friends, I can turn those off, out of my mind. I really can. I'm more evil than any of you lot realise. No, really. Seriously. That's also true of the following people right now: Alex Bradford, Daisy Collins, Gigi Florentin-Lee and James Furlong. So far as I know, none of these people know I even dislike them, nor do I have any real reason to. I'm actually rather afraid that I'm going mad up here. I think I need to fall in love, soon. Sorry. I suspect that was rather unpleasant to read. I'll be twee again now. Not as twee as Jumble Sailing by Clearlake, though. That's, like "whoa! Total tweeness, dude!". Mmyup. Here is something twee: tomorrow I am going to get to get to Westminster station early, so that I can wait on the steps for a girl to arrive, so I can walk her to school, and pretend it was a coincidence. Why are hippy boys always quite unwashed-seeming and hippy girls always rather nice and well-groomed? Discuss. Who was the Sini who'd bought 'House of Leaves'? I have just bought 'House of Leaves'. It looks so damn nice, it can be crap for all I care. Ken is my hero. His Stan posts really actually were the highlight of human creation. I laughed non-stop, for, like, 20 minutes. Genius. As good as Gorillaz. Better than Wheatus. Not quite as good as Robbie, yes, but so what? Top stuff. Tired.

I haven't posted in a long, long time, due to my laziness and incompetence. Anyhow, I had an odd, odd dream the other night that I thought I'd share... I attend a school called Phillips Exeter Academy, nestled in a tiny little town of Exeter, New Hampshire. As it is a boarding school, I live in a dorm. In this odd dream I had, there was a man who could turn himself into any vegetable upon his wish. He was an evil being, plotting schemes to take over my school (for reasons I can't bear to think of). He initiated the process of taking over my school by blowing up one of the most prized posessions of my school, the library. I was walking over to the library from my dorm in hopes of finding the evil scum and turning him in to be put in prison, when I saw the guy that I have had my eyes on forever walk into another dorm with a bunch of roses in hand. I was quite upset by this fact, but I marched myself over to the library nonetheless. At the library, I saw a very suspicious head of lettuce rolling around on the floor. This was also sometime in the very distant future, when lettuce had developed secondary sexual characteristics and had gender that was as distinct as ours--female lettuce, male lettuce. Anyhow, I picked up this head of lettuce and was trying to figure out whether it was male or female (thus narrowing down my list of suspects) when I saw two police officers getting into their car. I walked over and asked if either of them knew how to distinguish female lettuce from male lettuce, but neither of them knew. I chatted with them for a while, and then ate the lettuce. And then I woke up. The part that disturbs me the most is the part when my guy walks into another dorm, another GIRL'S dorm (we have unisex dorms) at that. It had no relevance to the story whatsoever. But then, the story itself isn't very relevant. So I'm wondering where this picnic is, too. I don't live in England, I live in New Hampshire, but hey, one can wonder, right? Also wondering if there are any listees living in New Hampshire, anywhere near Exeter... Ta ta for now. Lots of love and bleached white hair, meee.... +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <009d01c0b0f7$d64daf80$da7879a5@pavilion> ....civil wars will linger on inside of me. No B&S dreams to report, but even better: a LIST dream. I dreamt for some reason that i went into McDonalds (something i never do-- really) and they were serving Ribena. They had to go into a special room in back to get it. Since i've never had Ribena, or even heard of it before Sinister, i think this qualifies as a List Dream. And Sophie has promised me a crate of it in exchange for suspicous minds. A fair trade. And: Brier is headed for Europe this summer, so tell them to widen the sidewalks and change some of the laws for my impending arrival. Can i call a Sinister Meet-up in Paris in July? We could meet at Jim Morrison's place (down the block from Oscar Wilde). I know Paris like the back of my wrist, but if anyone knows anything about Venice, do tell. And a special "welcome to the neighborhood" goes out to new ListVamp Jessica and her fetish for Pickles. Prince Jason, have you picked up on this yet??? It's ironic; I had the boo, she had the chronic, the Lakers beat the Supersonics. Velocity Girl: Glad you got the package. Hope it didn't disappoint. There was a mix CD that missed the boat, but it's coming together. ListDom: No, it certainly is NOT acceptable to be seen reading Bukowski in public. Especially not in a parked car in front of the Junior High at 2:30 in the afternoon. Trust me. You won't be able to explain your way out. And I'm sure a thousand listees have already reminded you that it was Schroder who tinkled those ebony & ivories while Lucy made furtive passes at him. Linus never played anything but himself, under that blanket. But he was always my favorite anyway. Brier-sized props to: *Blake, for reminding me of the gorgeous MagFields song "When You're Old & Lonely" which he quoted on his website. ("When you're old and lonely you will wish you'd married me") *Jason A., for turning me on to "T-Shirt Weather" by the Lucksmiths. A little James-y, but appropriate this week in Santa Barbara with our summer now arrived in March. A perfect b-side to "I Know Where The Summer Goes" which rides at the top of my playlist as i scour the streets on my Vespa, searching for her green battleship with the license plate beginning "4FER". *The Pickle Prince for continuing to post, despite the fact that everything he writes inspires a degree of backlash. We are a sensitive lot, yes? (Peter: I read it as a humorous tangent on your "sacred" mistype, not a put-down. No one but him noticed it anyway and the beauty of your post was not lost). In my backpack are poems to her, in a bright orange folder I seem to sleep so well when her chin's on my shoulder. That's all for me. It was a good day. ~Brier +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

"what gave you that idea?" linus replies. i have a linus shirt. schroeder is not gay, dammit. neither is velma, or even peppermint patty and marcie. so just shut up already. jay, who has never to his knowledge seduced a bartender, or anyone else, but for some reason was talking about cutting limes earlier this evening.

The subject line is one of those sentences that read the same way forward as beakward, I forgot what they are called. Anyway, it is the oldest one known. Sinisteria has brought up some interesting points lately, which I will now address: Jonny said: "I've always wondered what happened to other people when their parents hear the band. My Dad is getting quite fond of them now. He gave me a lift to uni in september and I left FYHC in his car, he really liked it, saying it reminded him of Simon and Garfunkle". That's *exactly* what my dad they sounded like. He likes them, but not enough to ever listen to them I think. He likes "noisy" music better. Many a day, you can hear Black Sabbath blaring from the living room. His comment on Pulp, which my sister played for him, was that they reminded him of Roxy Music. He doesn't like them though, because of the frequent references to infidelity. My mom, however, loves Pulp, and the day is drawing near that I will try to indoctrinate her into the B+S cult. I failed with my sister, whose taste is otherwise nearly identical to mine--she says it's too soft and folky. Hmph. I keep trying. listdomlisa said: "b&s has somehow become synonymous with "charlie brown" in this tiny sector of terrible america...b&s (specifically b&s) has become known as "charlie brown music"..." (and later mentioned "seeing other people") Ha ha ha ha! I have thought the very same thing about "seeing other people"! Not that it's a bad thing. and... Jay said: "my question though is *did* anyone besides brier and i scream "no, it's schroeder!" at the monitor?" I didn't *scream* it, but I furrowed my brow quizzically, and thought it. Schroeder probably *wasn't* gay-- Lucy was just a vile shrew, and he knew it. Life has been disgustingly boring for a long time now. Tonight at work, I had a horrible headache that nearly split my skull every time I bent over (which is a lot, since I'm a janitor). I swept out from behind the ice machine, and I could tell that it hadn't been done since the last time I did it, when I worked there before. It was a graveyard of dead crickets and rock hard pieces of bread, and dust balls the size of my head. In the summer, the building is a magnet for all kinds of weird bugs that I've never seen anywhere else--the strangest are these huge beetles with beautiful green metallic backs. My supervisor is going to Pittsburg to go to hockey games next week. I don't care much for sports, but that Mario Lemieux is a fine specimen of manhood, in opinion. I'd like to take him to my Shack o' Luv in the woods. I said this to my supervisor, and was only met with a confused look. Obviously, I have nothing of merit to say. I will retreat to my cave, and succumb to lusty Lemieux fantasies. --Jenny Janitoria P.S. Also, hi to Gordon!

This week-end I went (well Paul took me would be more like the truth as the venue was in a secret place I would never be able to find on my own) to see Tompaulin and Airport Girl and some other bands who were kind of less good than the ones mentioned above. I had lots of fun, apparently lots of Guinness and might even apparently have said a couple (or lots?) of silly things. Well what is the point in being young and drunk anyway?

"and we have found it in 90% of the females occupying the lands near and far" oh but i say... it is human nature. we are just loco... human beings. but alas... there MUST be a cure for everything huh? i spare the details for i do not wish to offend my dear friend kiki i am on another ramble as always. and in repetition as well. but i have no apologies for anyone anymore. only the sweet uttering of words such as.. "take care" and "remember that although there are things you do not have... there are also things you do have." and most of all "keep your eyes open" here i am once again... rambling and sucking down cigarette after cigarette... disregarding the pain in the back of my tar-filled lungs. once again a sleepless night... for i am overwhelmed by the inclinations of my obsession for change. can't let it be .... don't want to settle... not EVER. on my lil' platform here with the microphone in front of me i tell the world everything there is to know about ME... and it is proven useless. i tell of myself because it is all i am sure of. and i hope that one would read between the lines and find that it really isn't about myself. i just incorporate it into myself... and still i say... very few see that. all the while... scratching my head... just as confused as the next person. jessica~* _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

(I expect change in return too.) Skinny schminny! I really couldn't care less about a guy's weight but disappearing when you turn sideways usually is not a bonus on the attractiveness scale. Nor would I tag it as "sexy." Plus, I must confess to getting weak in the knees when it comes to chubby boys. They're so adorable! I suppose slightly strapping isn't bad either. Throw in dark hair, glasses, and a slightly scruffy awkward out of place look and you have... Well, you have every single boy I've ever had a crush on. This includes the one I happily saw last night who I've liked from afar since 1993. I think I even have Blake beat on hopeless crushes there. I figure any year now I'll work up enough courage to say "hello." Of course, this is assuming by that time I will still be able to walk and won't be relying on the aid of a walker which will reduce me to a seductive shuffle. And though I don't think "fetish" is the appropriate term I must also confess that I have a *thing* for boys in yellow jackets. I have no idea where it came from but I have never seen a guy wearing a yellow coat who wasn't anything but dead sexy. Now, I won't even go into Mr. Burns imitations, Yankee accents, and "I'm your huckleberry" obsessions. Speaking of seductive Mr. Burns imitations, I'm glad to see that Primitive Painter has returned to our list! Yay! He's my endless supplier of jammie dodgers and pixies music. This time he has showered us with lurid tales of the (e)N(e)ME(a) and racism. I'm like Jay in that I'm normally pale but tan surprisingly well. I usually turn so dark that my ethnicity is usually questioned. Aww, you know I'm just like J-Lo over here. "No estoy Isobel Campbell." However, with the exception of my wet T-shirt exploits in Charleston last summer I have shunned the sun since High School thus making me into quite the whitey. So, no prejudice against me here. Poor Ian though with those nasty neighbors. When I lived out west I had a roommate from California who automatically assumed that since I was form the South that I was racist. She used to frequently make snide remarks about how my ancestors had owned slaves, etc. I finally moved after a relatively short time in hopes that I would erase her fear that one day she might walk into our dorm room to find me in my confederate flag bikini dancing around to "Dixie" (which is what I always use as my talent in all the beauty pageants I enter). I doubt that "Dixie" is one of the songs on DDR though. Julie said, "There is nothing more fun than DDR. DDR is better than sex and posts by George Henry Dickey, although I can't guarantee that it's more fun than sex WITH George Henry Dickey, I suppose." I'm among the ignorant in that I haven't tried DDR, having sex with Ohh Henry, or even Ribena for that matter. However, this leaves me to be quite unbiased in opinion. Thus, I'm the perfect candidate to try all three and tell you which is superior. I know it's 'generous of me but I'm always willling to sacrifice for this list. Dreams have been all the talk lately. I figure if Belle and Sebastian aren't worthy enough to be mentioned in my posts, why should I be dreaming about them? Plus, the one I did have was none too pleasant (For details see: http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/200001/msg00166.html). However, my nightly slumbers have been chalk full of Sinister. I'll briefly recount: Dirty Dream #1: I was at a prison in a group therapy session except for being in the usual circle it was like a party with lots of mingling. Sinister stars were Pinefox, Martin Robinson, and James. The last encounter I had before I awoke was some random boy telling me how he liked to have sex with burning animals. Dirty Dream #2: I blame this one on JenOwl's comment of, "Why do my friends and boyfriends always end up as either rapists, sadists, stalkers, Mormons or nutjobs?" which kept me laughing for days. I dreamt that she had been baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Thus, she had to quit Sinister because if she wasn't going watch rated R movies anymore she certainly wasn't going to read our smut laden posts. Dirty Dream #3: I was at a Sinister party which featured Honey dancing in the middle of throngs of list members (notice i didn't say in the middle of list members in thongs). However, I was off in the shadows with Prissy Chrissy. We were involved in some shady and deliciously wicked plot which involved messing with the electrical wires. I don't remember much except we were both wearing pink shirts which said "milkmaids" in white across the chest. Chrstiaan, of course, looked seductively sexy. (Forget Shoulder Girl. Chrstiaan curled up in bed with his lapto p is my choice of a glossy pinup for my computer's wallpaper!) Before I leave, I must also confess my unadulterated love for the Sillustrations. Thanks to them I can now say I'm a fox with a hot tail! Of course, I could also say I'm a cross dressing sassy Eskimo but I think I shall stick with the first. However, just because I have laid claims to being sillustrated as such does not mean that I owe anything to the body parts gallery. Why if I were to follow the rule of sending it snaps of everything I mentioned I would owe a thigh, breasts, and - due to the anti-cupid post - wings. Sounds just like a bucket of chicken to me, only without the complimentary hot buttery biscuits thrown in. Laura "meeting all those Laura Llew needs since 1977" ps - much love to Vee for her help :) She rocks! pps - if Jen's quote had me laughing for days, Mr. 'We Want More of" Moore's "Ll's Belles" had me in stitches for weeks.

But better that than rien. Today I was listening to Neil Young and Crazy Horse's LP RAGGED GLORY. Some listee or other gave it to me, I think, at a million-dollar bash. Anyway, I thought of its squalls of sound in terms of pop resemblance: 1. 'Farmer John''s intro reminds me of Graham Coxon. That's not really a good thing, in 2001; but it's no great stain on the hide of the Horse either. This reminds me, by the way. I stuck MODERN LIFE IS RUBBISH on the CD the other day. Greeted by minutes of silence, I decided to insert the disc into the player and try again. It disappointed somewhat. 'For Tomorrow' has been acclaimed as a great London story blah blah, but it is so darned *graceless*. There's even that terrible moment when Allbran sings 'tomorr-OHHH!! SINGING!!!' As Batman would have said: DAMON - *OUCH!* I don't know. Is anyone gonna stick up for that LP now? I have just reminded myself, 2. 'Days That Used To Be' is, listen carefully now, *** THE MISSING LINK BETWEEN 'MY BACK PAGES' AND 'I DON'T WANNA GET OVER YOU'. *** Don't believe me? Try it. Thinking about this reminded me of the old, old question about what it is of which 'IDWGOY' is a pastiche. The answer 'nothing' is unhelpful. I have always thought in terms of 'The Oldest Swinger In Town'. HAVE I FAILED? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!

I love reading, and relating. your stories are so wonderful. There are these two kids in my school. both are only in their first year. a chubby girl, with long curly hair, and big round glasses. who dresses like she doesn't care and plays electric guitar. and a pale boy, who is cute in the way only sensative-skinny-pale boys can be. I am going to buy them a copy of IYFS, and maybe a book like 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' or 'Catcher in the Rye'. they look like they could use it. They are outcasts in the best possible way, and they both appear to be quite happy in the pressence of only each other. maybe it would be a little creepy just to give them these gifts when i don't even know them. -- about sexy songs: early stereolab, pj harvey, and sonic youth all make me wet. -- someone mentioned Meet The Feebles... I was once caught in a very un-appealing situation of watching that movie with my mother (my very christian& right wing mother), and she didn't walk out of the room until the very end. It was awkward, much like listening to gangsta' rap with your grandma in her oh-so-grandma car is awkward. I was flipping through a magazine (Shift), being bored & bitter in the school library and came across a wonderful review & picture of belle & sebastian...it reviewed FYHC, and made me love the album even more. & the picture is great too.. I love & I love & I love..but karma isn't coming around fast enough. ,rob _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Laura said: > Dirty Dream #2:  I blame this one on JenOwl's comment of, "Why do my friends > and boyfriends always end up as either rapists, sadists, stalkers, Mormons > or nutjobs?" which kept me laughing for days.

An amazing coincidence that I should read that as I was reflecting on what happened to me today. I was sitting in my maths class, infinitely bored (hardly surprising), when the girl who sits behind me asks me what i'm listening to. As fate would have it she's mormon and isn't really into music. But she asks me anyway. I'm used to being asked, so i reply, "aw, nothing, you wouldn't like it". But she insisted, and i gave in (she's not bright in the school sesne but rather pretty she is and a nice person to talk to) As luck would have it, i was listening to the 3...6...9 Seconds of Light EP. It's my absolute favourite EP. I mean, Century of Fakers is grate, but what follows are three examples of B&S at their best (aren't you all marvelling at the unprecedented amount of content from me?!) The batteries on my cdplayer were almost out. I pressed forward to track two. Le Pastie. She listened for a while. Then she pressed forward and listened to Beautiful. Then to Put the Book... . I was sorta worried about what she'd think if she heard "is it true...or are you still the queen?". She took no note of it. She said, "it wasn't bad! i can see why you'd like it". This comment puzzled me. I asked her why. "Oh, cos of all the guitar stuff there"(i play guitar). I didn't quite know what to say... In somewhat-related-but-no-not-really news, this weekend will be what i imagine is the first B&S meet up in brazil. Two people! Actually, if there's actually anyone else living here in sao paulo mail me off list and we'll all plan together. I'm not holding my breath though. I think it was Peter who said he'd got the Badly Drawn Boy album and quite liked. Well, i just got it and i quite like it too. Another girl at school saw i was listening to Belle & Sebastian and went, "you like them!" and i was like "yeah!" i was so excited, you know, hoping for another fan. But no! "i bought one of their albums, i don't like it much, i like louder stuff." oh. she bought fold your hands. Not the best of introductions, although it *is* a grate album. I love the 'interpretation' of Beyond the Sunrise that someone sent in. I can actually listen to that song now, and with a smile, no less. Love you all, Mike K. Putting a little sunshine into your lives. Maybe. __________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape Webmail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <000701c0b1a8$b092b2c0$e6d66481@alh.reznet.uwo.ca> Hi all, I have to say this whole dream business has greatly interested me. Only because I've been having the strangest of dreams, though sadly few are directly B&S related. In one I had my left (sinister) arm shot off and no one would take me to the hospital. That was disconcerting. Then in another I was somehow the host of the now defunct CBC show "Ear to the Ground". That was especially weird. Even more so given the fact that this was the same dream in which I had a torrid affair with Joey Jeremiah. But I digress... Last night I dreamt I was reading yesterday's paper and I saw that I had missed an Arlo Guthrie concert. Aside from the fact that this makes no sense whatsoever, I was crestfallen to say the least. The funny thing was that they had a picture of him by the announcement, and this picture looked remarkably like Peacock Johnson. THat is odd. Especially since I began convulsions on the matter and kept screaming: "Just ask Genevieve - that's not Guthrie it's Johnson!!!!!!" THis is bizarre, to say the least. If you're still with me, you can read about my day of miraculous coincidences. If you're not still with me, then you're probably not reading this part. You see, I asked my roommate to wake me up early today. She didn't. I woke up 5 minutes before class. I was mad because I never miss English, and also because I went well out of my way to do the HEAVY reading for today. I was so mad I thought I'd run to class anyway. (I hate being late...I would rather not attend normally). I get there roughly 12 minutes past 11 and I get a little freaked out because my prof's standing in the hall. I walk into class and everyone's dutifully filling out instructor evaluations. I didn't miss a thing. It was good. The only problem was that since we lost time for the survey, my teacher told us we wouldn't be studying "The Wasteland" anymore. I was ticked. But then I went to the mall because I needed to get my photos for applications (it is degrading to go to a photo booth alone...really bad for the self-esteem) and on the wall was this sticker with an Eliot quotation on it. Bizarre, n'est-ce pas? Who goes around wantonly adhering obscure quotations on photo booths? Strange beyond strange. THen i went grocery shopping and wandered into the kids area of things. THey have all sorts of neat candy there. Including Thrills - you know, the Gum THat Tastes Like Soap. I had to buy them because a week before in my English tutorial I had a long discussion with this kid about how one never sees these anymore. And now I saw them. FInal coincidence. I walked up the aisle and saw a giant stuffed turtle that I found utterly cute. I coveted it for a while, and then two doxies were making "get out of the way, bitch" noises at me so I moved into the "cookware" section that really doesn't belong in any supermarket. I was attracted by these space age spatulas (spatulae?) so I went to look at them. My eyes wandered and what did they behold? A lonely display of Elvis playing cards with my name on them (figuratively). WHat a day! Now I can eat soapy candy and play Elvisy euchre - all thanks to two impatient little wenches. WEll, there you have it folks. What a tale to be told. Take care, etc. Marybeth +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <005701c0b1bb$05900860$6700000a@infotrek.co.uk> Is it a rather pitiful admission that I am sitting at my desk doing nothing but waiting and hoping for some e-mail to arrive and amuse me? I was doing some sewing (is that any better?), but it is all done, and I am, let me be frank, bored to death. My flatmate is watching a film upstairs, so I can't go in the living room, my brother is asleep, and I have nothing to do. I suppose I could skulk around in the hallway, but it isn't a very interesting place after a while - just a lot of shoes, really, although some of them are quite nice. I wish, in fact, that the War was still on. It may have been bloody, but at least it provided some distraction. I can understand why all the crones on the buses ramble about the good old days. At least then they could busy themselves buying extra chocolate rations from spivs, flirt with American soldiers, draw seams on their legs with pencils and sing songs. They were young, with pretty rosy cheeks and dainty waists. Or even squidgy waists, since either can be beautiful. Now they just buy beige jackets or fluffy hats and moan about timetables. I yearn for even that distraction, but I don't have a bus schedule. Perhaps, however, I am merely being self-indulgent. In fact, there is no perhaps about it. I live in a house full of books and in a world full of things to see, hear, touch and smell. I should continue reading The House at Pooh Corner, which I am re-acquainting myself with. Reading it as an adult has brought about no change in my perspective on the book. It is as wonderful, funny and gentle as when I was 6. Perhaps the only difference now is that reading it serves more as a reminder of how important it is to remain ever-curious, optimistic and warm-hearted, something I used to take for granted. I particularly like the fact that Pooh and Piglet both hug Christopher Robin whenever they meet him. I wish I would be hugged by fat bears and clever but cowardly little piglets, but then I suppose, if I close my eyes and wish hard enough, my imagination may just make it so. It has been a long time since I indulged in platitudes regarding the weather, and there may well have been a time when I would boast that it would never happen again, but I can't help commenting on the atrocious conditions that have descended upon London. If there is any good time to discuss the weather, let it be an 3.20am, alone, in a bedroom. I have been feeling quite sorry for the blossoms, daffodils and crocuses that began to blossom a few weeks ago, when the weather was warmer, and have since been subjected to such harsh winds and rain. The poor things looking so colourful and vibrant, bringing their much needed relief from the winter, only to be assaulted by the capricious English climate! Can I indulge in a little bit of melodrama, please? The silence I shall take to mean consent...O cruel Fate, that can attack the frailest emissary of Spring's impending arrival, assault a gentle flower with your barbed teeth and claws, and never shed a single tear! Maybe A. A. Milne should be consulted on the matter: "I shouldn't be surprised if it didn't hail a good deal tomorrow," Eeyore was saying... "There's Pooh!" said Christopher Robin, who didn't much mind what it di to-morrow, as long as he was out in it. Since that is good advice, I think I shall adopt it, if only for a day, after which my memory of events will become hazier and I will become liable to fall prey to other influences. But we shall forget that for the time being. I'm sure the blossoms, daffodils and crocuses have seen worse weather in the course of their existence on earth, and they have survived as, indeed, I have as well. So I will trust in their ability (and mine) to endure, and, I think, go and have a cup of tea. That is undoubtedly good for boredom; it has certainly fortified England from tedium over the past 400 years.

To Jeff: Ive only ever heard one song by Slint and i liked it. My friend always goes on about them. Can you reccomend any particular albums? By the way are they signed to rough trade? Ive never heard of Rex, are they anything like T-Rex (god im funny). About sounding like GSYBE um, we dont, that was just one persons perception (and he is weird). Imagine a painfully out of tune guitar, going like the clappers with lots of distortion and bleeps, mixed with a screeching male voice saying the likes of "woa, got to get my shit on, gotta hole in my pocket and pain in my head baby" and thats us (Sonic Arcitecture). im great at selling my band arnt i. To chris browning: im glad to have cheered you up. To the guy who finds glasses on women attractive. I think you are a rare case. I wear glasses and find them a pain in the butt, especially at gigs when they steam up and get knocked off alot. Ive only had one case with a guy who liked my glasses and he was grim. Im crap with men anyway but they definitley dont help. In fact they've made me quite insecure because i hate taking them off in front of people. in fact, I think i might have to sue specsavers.

Good plan vellybabes, I suppose the next question is Primrose or Greenwich? Also, as was pointed out to me after my last post, the 28th is when Trembling Blue Stars and Tompaulin are playing Oxford, so i think it might be an OxPicnic kinda day anyway (or at least a Pubnic) Picklywickly: I have created a whole new genre that I affectionately call "MUPPET MUSIC". NONONONONONONO, muppet music is what 15 year olds with green hair and stupidly wide trousers "dance" to, yer green days, yer offsprings, yer snuffs etc, in my world anyway... I do kind of know what you mean though, dancing a la grover, head back, arms on imaginary sticks etc :) PF: I don't know. Is anyone gonna stick up for that LP now? I'll certainly stick up for FT (as a non-londoner maybe my view is more rose tinted) although i do find MLIR sounds much more like L than PL, and wasn't really the radical departure it was claimed at the time, especially some of the more obviously shoegazy numbers such as OW...(discussion to be finished in the queen vic, no doubt) And speaking of the Queen Vic (seamless link ahoy), it's only two weeks (and a little bit) til we board the train of fun and excitement for Camber Sands, YAY! And in case you hadn't heard, for those of you who will be in that London on the Thursday night (ie the fifth of April), there is an evening of music and dancing called AnTiciPate (do you see what they've done, do you?), Upstairs at the Garage, 8 til 2, featuring djs from Strange Fruit, Tigermilking and Mell Street Organisations (including various (ex)members of this parish) and also Gav, King of Partick from Camera Obscura band. It's only 2 squid, and simply *everyone* will be there darling.

I guess it's probably not really a good thing to declare a Sinster meeting at the same time as an existing one but... Mani is Djing at Jenks in Blackpool on the 31st of March. Yes, MANI FROM THE STONE ROSES. If anyone is interested, mail me and I'll see about getting tickets. Crashing at my house is fine as long as you aren't too weird/don't plan on getting too drunk. We will be going to Scrouges before hand, where a Double Vodka and coke is £1.50. In other news STUART IS GOING TO READ MY STORY. In a clever ploy, I have managed to secure, through Neil, the attention of Stuart Murdock in reading Judy and the Dream of Horses. The e-mail went as follows "It would be up to Stuart really [whether I get permission to use the title], as he wrote the song. So I'd imagine I'd give him the story the read. Send the current version. I'm sure that'll do for the time being." I'm going to stop gloating/being obsessive/trying to steal sinister people from other meetings/using too many capitals/extending sentances way beyond their natuaral length through the use of '/'s now before I get booed off the list. Oh, and thanks a lot Neil, I'm sure most bands managers just wouldn't have bothered to reply. Much appreciated.

Horns, a garish fanfare of black and yellow. I must have drifted off in front of the television. The book was still sprawled across me and on the large and dull seat that housed my now perhaps excessive bulk. The television was wavering opposite me, in the darkness that had descended in what can have been no more than 44 minutes since sleep, father of dreams, slaughterer of reason, came to claim me, when the lights in the room seemed sufficient not only for the purpose of watching, or in my particular case ignoring, the local news of dockers, weather reports and oriental food outlets, but also for perusing the volume which, as I have said, had so to speak fallen with me, into its own proper abyss, that of the oblivion of the unread. A long face looked solemnly out from the screen. Capitals flashed, excess of bright yellow. FORSTER The music was fading. A street scene. Sirens in the distance. From the television, not from out of my rented window; or vice versa. Either one or the other was probable: indeed both were probable, which is not necessarily to call it probable that both were occurring simultaneously. No, a dog, says Emperor Hylzu-Li IV in his Book of Dogs, may come from East or come from West, but not both compass points at once. It is not a known fact that the Chinese invented the compass. Reflecting on it now, I am no longer even sure that I know it to be a fact at all. Since those days in Warsaw so much of what I took to be knowledge has flown, no, rather has dissipated, like the blown ashes of a burnt library. The television. A street scene. Sirens. The 'protagonist' was now talking to his reluctant 'sidekick'. I gathered that it belonged to the police 'procedural' drama - the irony slaps me now, as I write the words, for 'procedure' is one of the less dramatic words in the language. It has a notably undramatic root whose story I may make ready to tell at some other point in my narration, space permitting, time befitting. In any case, the police were proceeding, the drama concerned these proceedings. This, I gathered as the pair drove up what looked like a San Francisco street - reminding me for an instant of an older police drama whose name escaped me, set, where by San Francisco itself? - this was no ordinary way of proceeding: no, the Inspector, who was clearly the brains behind the joint, the tool of the operation - the language is escaping me also, I shall start again: the head honcho, the man with the man, I mean, the plan - this Inspector, I say, was an enforcer with a special mission all his own. He was on the trail, it emerged, not of criminals in the ordinary sense, but of what he had defined as *crimes against music*: crimes, in point of fact, against the Spartanism, the harshness, the grating uncompromise, that he saw as proper to music. Inspector Forster was a new Schoenberg, no less, or so, at least, I remember chuckling to myself, I would have said to Teddie, had he been here, had he lived to drink martinis with me in Manhattan rather than that foul-smelling tea he favoured the last time I saw him in Los Angeles, 1969, I believe. The year is 1969. No, the Inspector, the music: the Inspector, as I was saying, was a Stockhausen de ses jours, a Rothko of the acoustic, one committed to pain and punishment. And he had made it his vocation - observe with what swiftness television's purportedly feeble narratives tell their tales, make plain their concerns and triffer our understandings! - to pursue in particular those aspects of the musical he most deplored, those fresh trickers whose collective name was MELODY. Each week, it became plain, Forster and his sidekick would at some stage in the narrative screech across town, up hill and down valley, across red lights and down alleyways, in search of some instance of this dastardly class. An earlier episode, I felt sure, must have explained in full the very personal animus which Inspector Forster carried against the Melody class; or perhaps, I felt less sure, perhaps all would be revealed at the denouement of the serial, save that a serial like this had no denouement but simply rolled on, season after season. - Got a live one, Bob. The car radio crackled. The streets flashed past in unconvincing background. - Spill it, Bruce. - Hold on to your ear-plugs, mate. This one's H-O-T. - Don't wear me out, cobber - I'm warning you, I want the facts yesterday. - You asked for it, mate. It's "The Long And Winding Road". I jerked involuntarily in my seat as the camera cut to the car screeching up on to the pavement at an urban corner. The noise of blackboards. - Strewth! Forster and his unprepossessing sidekick looked at each other a long second. The sidekick spoke at last. - Bob- - ROBERT! - Sorry, Robert - are y' sure about this one? Maybe we should just let it go? The Inspector looked ahead, seen through the front windscreen of the car. Seconds passed, centuries. Fate rumbled by in a garbage truck. Raindrops trickled down the glass. - No can do. The car pulled out into the street again. I - I, who had never owned a television set in all those years in Blakeney and Cromer, who had glanced furtively at Herbert's monochrome set in 1968, who had booked the room disdaining to specify the manner of 'media services required' - I was enraptured, in something of the way that Albert Dockenplatz had hypothesized in his Theory Of The Moving-media-image-screen, as long ago as 1927. Music. The two maverick policemen were climbing out of the car. I noticed that the red light which spun and flashed atop it had been placed there on a temporary basis by the Inspector's sidekick. Close-up, from behind, a drawn pistol. We look down the alley. Rain is falling. The sound of rain. BANG There was a BANG There was someone banging on the door. My very heart seemed to strain with the interruption, an interruption like that described by Diderot in Notebook Y (15) on Les Principes de 'Communiquer'. I sighed, rose, stepped on groaning calves towards the door, where I thought was the door's location, knocking a knee against a table, a table bearing all the hallmarks, I would later think, of 1974. - It's over! - It's never over, Bob. I reached the door and pulled it open with my right hand, reaching down at the same moment to clasp my knee and realizing that I had transferred the forgotten book to this hand. The door came open in one hand as I dropped the book with the other and bent to pick it up. BANG I looked up at my visitor. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I couldn't beleive the comment I got from one of my colleagues. I'll describe this guy fisrt OK. Old, as in late 50's, perverted and swears constantly. In fact he looks like the sort of guy who would watch young ladies in the park whilst sitting on a park bench stroking himself under his raincoat. Well when the song had finished he asked me who it was so I of course proceeded to tell him and his reply was: "Yeah that was good. Sounded almost human." Human? What in the f**k does that mean. I told him to stick to his Doris Day nonsense. Although I can't fault him too much as he is a huge fan of the Pogues. Aaaaah Bless his old perverted heart!

FUNNY NEWS STORY THAT YOU MIGHT LIKE I have a POLITICS exam in five weeks and know nothing. I thought a good place to start would be the news, it's usually got some sort of political relevance and it's on when I eat so I can do two things at once. Today I was enjoying GEORGE ALAGAYA (sorry George, don't know how it's spelt. Is he on the list? Do we have any news readers or weather folk on the list?) presenting stories in his usual cheerful manner when I stumbled upon two examples of extreme rock and roll excess. Firstly, although actually secondly on the news, but firstly to me, was S CLUB 7 taking cannabis. I don't encourage drug taking of any kind, so younger people (Jen) I know you see me as a father figure/trend setter/role model but don't get any ideas. This is a top news story and hopefully it will confuse many kids as they realise that some pop stars don't still have the same mentality as them and have a less naive outlook on life than CARE BEARS. Better still though, someone broke into Geri Halliwell's house and poured RIBENA everywhere! I have my suspicions as to which list member it was, but I'm keeping stum. PICNIC May 5th is my 19th BIRTHDAY! Unfortunately it is in term time though and I live in YORK which means I can't come (student/no money/work etc.) There are currently 5 sinister people at York uni though and I'm sure we could find a few more who'd be willing to have a picnic amongst DUCK POO. CHUCKLE BROTHERS They're GRATE. IAN McCULOCH His birthday is May 5th as well, so as he's a JEEPSTER recording ARTISTE you could celebrate his birthday at the PICNIC. TIGER I found out the other day that the greatest British band other than BELLE AND SEBASTIAN is no more. I was sad. I think you might be getting bored by now as my PARAGRAPHS get shorter.

That is, I keep thinking of oh!-so-clever things to say, and then I start to type it and it goes away or reveals itself to not be clever at all. Hmm. Someone said something about lurkers which, for reasons beyond the realm of my knowledge, made me feel guilty for not saying anything. Which in turn made me feel guilty for the arrogance of thinking that all 1400 of you would be remotely interested in what I might say in the first place. I live in New York now (I think I mentioned it before). One of the first things anyone told me about living here was "You'll be amazed at the kind of chicks you can pull here." Actually, I may have read that in an article. Anyway, I was thinking about it, and it occurred to me that in a city of nearly 9 million people, someone's /bound/ to like your stuff. Though so far, they're not doing a good job of making it obvious. Or obvious enough, anyway. I've been reading Go Ask Alice www.goaskalice.columbia.edu all day. It's such a great website. A year or two ago, the American Library Association got all sorts of flak for linking to it from their website for teens. I haven't been reading lately. This is (apparently) scandalous behavior for a librarian. The truth of the matter is this: I've never been a particularly voracious reader. This is due largely to my exceptionally short span of attention (got a short little span of attention and oh, my nights are so long), in tandem with an ever-present, nagging suspicion that I could be doing something more interesting. This latter affects more than just reading, but it is particularly taxing to such, because of reading's concentration-intensive nature. My library's clientele, my co-workers, my family, and damn near everyone I've ever told that I'm a librarian cannot reconcile that reality with my reluctance (not reluctance--reluctance comes loaded with mules on short ropes and children spitting mashed peas; rather, inability) to read for extended periods, as though somehow one has to incorporate the contents of every book in one's vicinity in order to be comforted by their presence. The state of my memory is such that I'd probably not remember much of them anyway. Laura Llew (isn't she swell?) said something or other about us boys who occupy the non-skinny category. Thanks, hon. We need the compliments. Strapping is an interesting adjective (and, in fact, also quite interesting as a verb, though awfully dull as a noun). I'm not sure I know what it means. You'd have to ask someone else if I'm strapping or not, but thanks for the good press all the same, LL.

Message-ID: <388124127.985241820102.JavaMail.root@web447-ec.mail.com> It's been some time since my last post... though there's not much on which to update any of you, even if you did give a rat's petard... sometimes I wonder why I love this list so much, but then I remember that it's because everyone here cherishes Belle & Sebastian and uses words like "squidgy." Thus, despite the ever-present notion that more than half of you will only lightly skim this post, as it appears to say nothing and looks none too artistic and/or creative, I post anyway. I did find it odd that Marybeth mentioned Arlo Guthrie (well, not odd, really, because I certainly have no concrete reason as to WHY she WOULDN'T mention Arlo Guthrie, as most posts are generally random in that nature)... Still, it made me cock my head to one side like a confused spaniel, seeing as how I was thinking about relating my latest B&S plug to the list, and it happens to involve Woody Guthrie. See, I met this adorably dark-haired, artsy-pantsed boy wearing a red "CCCP" T-shirt at a party a while back, and watched in amusement as every drunken ass in the house came to him at some point, pointed at his shirt, and said, "What does, 'Kuh-kuh-kuh-puh' mean?" He finally sat on a futon in what seemed to be mildly inebriated frustration at the low level of brain activity going on around him, so I decided to lower the quotient even more by speaking to him... turns out I'm not so stupid, and he wasn't too frustrated to speak. His name is Nick. We waxed philosophy for some ! time, and ended up talking about music (most of my conversations turn that direction anyway), and when he told me he liked Wilco, I asked him if he knew Billy Bragg, and he said yes. Then I asked him if he know Woody Guthrie (I was thinking of the Billy-Bragg/Wilco tribute albums) and he actually knew who I was talking about - which in my "quaint" suburban American neighborhood is quite rare... And so I decided he was worthy of the Belle-and-Sebastian plug. I recommended Tigermilk, simply because of its chronological placement as #1. This was about five weeks ago, and I speak to him on the phone periodically just to chat (his adorable features and quick wit apparently make him out of my romantic-league, being that I am, comfortably, rather plain and unnoticeable). It turns out that Tigermilk was really beginning to grow on him, until a friend of his came along and said, "You can't listen to that one. That's one of their happy albums. You have to hear their sadder stuff t! o really know them..." Thankfully, Nick is too smart to completel l-thought-out judgements of musical material... Can any of you classify any of the B&S albumsin their entirety as either "happy" or "sad"? If you can't, I'd love to be let in on your path of logic... 'Cause I don't see it. Anyway, that's my story of how I made another B&S fan. The moral of the story, really, is that you should never approach someone at a party, point at their shirt, and say, "What does 'Kuh-kuh-kuh-puh' mean?"

Neither is this one, but I felt like writing. I'm feeling a bit under the weather today, I even called in sick to work. I feel so guilty, aren't I a geek? My job is quite awful, I get paid shit, yet I feel bad. I'm really the perfect employee, no spine whatsoever. Hmm, oh well, I think I deserve the time off. Well, somebody mentioned that they were tired of hearing about missed opportunities, so I'd just like to report that the other day I stayed after work a bit longer than usual to walk a girl home. We got along fairly well (she even laughed at my stupid little jokes), I think I'll ask her to have coffee or something with me. I hate coffee, but I'll stomach it for her, she seems to like it. I think that counts as taking an opportunity, no snogging, but still... I'd just like to say that I think Beyond the Sunrise is one of the best songs off FYHCYWLAP, along with Fought in a War and Family Tree. I liked the interpretations posted. When I first heard it I thought it was a biblical reference. I miss-heard the line, "His eyes were sure that heaven was not her scene" as "He was sure that heaven was not her seed". An alternate version of the annunciation or something. I still think it is an awfully pretty song. The other day I went shopping and found some great stuff. At one store they had this almost life-size Crucifix (well, Christ was almost life-size at least) that lit up, it was $300 so I of course didn't buy it. I also found a 'commie-kit' that had a record of the 'ode to chairman mao' and a uniform from the days of mao. It was a bit too expensive too, but I thought it would be a great gift for my far too patriotic friend. Almost as great as the lighter that played the communist anthem when you opened it. Anyway, I ended up buying a copy of the Looper 45, the new Kings of Convenience albumn (which is great!), some pants (a little small, but thats ok, they were cheap), a great shirt that is white, kinda western looking, and has snap buttons (including three on each sleave). All in all, a good shopping trip. When I was crossing the street there was this very agitated man asking out a completely terrified woman on the street. He kept asking why she wouldn't go out with him, what was wrong, that he didn't mind but he just wanted to know why. I think he had faced a bit too much rejection lately, but the poor chap needed to learn about tact. hmm, thats all I have to say for now. I need some sleep. -- Tim +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I also found a 'commie-kit' that had a record of the 'ode to chairman mao' and a uniform from the days of mao. It was a bit too expensive too, but I thought it would be a great gift for my far too patriotic friend. Almost as great as the lighter that played the communist anthem when you opened it. *********************** What's the Communist anthem? Will you sing it for me/let the lighter recite it into a dictaphone and make an mp3 please? Anyone? I heard some 70's WHO in the PUB last night. It made me think of Keith (TM). Also, I don't recommend anyone goes to see a band called The Bush, The Tree & Me unless they have drunk five whiskies and one midori or whatever drinks combination big up's your massif. If you see them whilst less merry you would be upset. If you see them after drinks, you start to cry with laughter. Bands that have names that appeal to my sense of the ridiculous keep forming. I still prefer....... AND YOU WILL KNOW (you know whats coming kids!!!) US! BY! THE!!! TRAIL!!!! OF!!! THE DEEEAAAAAAAAAADDDD!!!! Ahahahahahahahahahaahhahahahahhahaaha! Anyone in that London going to see Low tonight? More importantly, will anyone be wearing Trail of the Dead tshirts? EVER? I'd best go. The crack seems to be wearing off. CarsmileSteve, you're not too old to take lots of drugs! Your drug adventure can start at any time! I think it would be kind of ace for an 80 year old to suddenly start taking loads of crack in their nice little house in Walmington-On-Sea. Except do you think they might just die? I'm sure they'd find something interesting to do with their colostomy bags though.

My scalp now feels like it has melted, and to compound the problem it looked awful so I had to run to Superdrug and buy some crazy coloured hair dye (I wasn't going brownish black again after all that trouble). I now have a purple head, which should please Jenowl I suppose. It worked fine last time though, so I suppose something odd has happened to my follicles betweenwhiles. Ho hum. Follicles, now there's a great word that is very much underused. Haphazard is another. Am I rambling? I am currently in a good mood however, as not only do I have tickets for Radiohead in Oxford, but one of my housemates for next year (who I have only just met) commented on my bus T shirt/flares combo. (That's as far as I can see the content going this time). This is a Good Thing. I've been told I have a road test in a few weeks to see whether I'm competent enough to run the projector in the Union Cinema. This is not as simple as it may sound - I've been training for 6 months now and am only just beginning to get the hang of it. There are too many scary nobbly bits and buttons... Anyone who has access to it (it's on the web I think, at www.soton.ac.uk/~susu -> Wessex Scene link) might be interested in a superb article in the latest edition of our Student Union paper describing in detail how to destroy that Toploader album that you don't want to admit to owning. Unusually I think our paper is run by people with a modicum of taste and indie snobbery (reviewing things like GYBE and A Silver Mount Zion) which can't be an entirely bad thing. I also enjoyed listening to Mark and Lard's snide comments about pretty much every nasty nasty pop record they played whilst waiting in the barber shop. Did they always do that, or have I only just noticed? Things have never been the same since the graveyard shift... Hmmm. I might run off and hide now as I am definitely rambling. Thanks to everyone who mentioned Felt, by the way - I am suitably impressed.

Obviously the band have recently returned from America, where they were recording the music for a film called "Storytelling", which is directed by Todd Solondz. A lot of you will be familiar with Todd's last two films: "Happiness" and "Welcome to the Dollhouse". Anyway, the film is split into two parts. The music for the first part of the film was done by Nathan Larsson, who was in the band Shudder To Think, and has recently scored such films as "Boy's Don't Cry". B&S have done the music for the second part. The film will be released in the USA in October, and the soundtrack album will be released by Jeepster and Matador at around the same time. More details as and when we have them.... Back in Glasgow the band have been in CaVa finishing two singles for a summer release. We're almost there, and hopefully I'll have something more concrete to say in the next couple of weeks. And that's about it really.

And I fly economy. I feel like I should be back at my beloved dorm up where things aren't exactly luxurious, but comfortable. I hate travelling. They should ban airplanes and come up with one of those things where you step into a little cylinderical tube and you're magically transported to your destination. Now that I have all my ranting and rambling off, I shall proceed with the rest of my post. March 26th is make your own holiday day. This year, my friend and I have engaged in plans to make it 'celebrate your gods day'. This allows us to keep our options open if we're not feeling up to par for the prank we're planning on pulling off. We thought a great way to celebrate this day would be to pass out little neon pink flyers with pictures of people on them saying 'celebrate your gods!!!'. these people, of course, would be selected through our complicated system of looking at these people and deciding whether they look like people who would be of interesting value. people to pass this list would be: -a guy who bleached his hair, dyed it red, bleached it again, and then attempted to dye it black, but failed to do so at a shortage of black hair dye. he compensated with blue hair. -a guy who walks around with a yellow suit. i saw one in the airport. -a guy with red athletic clogs. now that's sexy. i also watched three movies in the past 24 hours. charlie's angels, the watcher, and nurse betty. i'd have to give nurse betty the highest ranking, just because greg kinnear was in it. although i was highly disappointed that he had to play a jerk who lived off of soap operas. i am practically falling asleep in front of the computer screen, due to jet lag. jet lag sucks. jet lag reminds me of high fidelity. john cusack reminds me of my old drama teacher. who is now married, and probably changed her last named to something else. oh well. i think i'm rambling. but before i exit, i have to include some b&s content, because i don't think i mentioned anything about belle and sebastian in my last email either. i forced my parents to listen to some of my music over spring break. the only cds found favorable with them was my beatles 1 cd and fold your hands child you walk like a peasant. it was sort of discouraging to have my parents completely disapprove of my taste in music, but nice to know that belle and sebastian reached out to these people who only listen to mozart and hayden and some other dead people. down with the wall!!! -hye min +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: Dear Sinister, It's all Katy Cooper's fault! She organised a sinister tape tree, and we both joined, and got each others tape and thought 'wow!'. So we started emailing each other, and then there were letters, and parcels full of toys. And then Bill Bailey was playing in Sheffield, so we HAD to meet. It was like impossible things #2, but with chips and the internet, and jiffy bags full of sequins... After the first day... well, that was it. A little black fox and a yellow fox called Karma (although he doesn't necessarily believe in karma, even though he's proof of it) wandered the streets of Sheffield. And the black fox decided not to leave. So, after a quiet night in the pub with some friends, Jules and Mike braved the snow and went home. And Mike whispered in that nervous way of his 'I've been looking at rings... engagement rings. Is that Okay?' I guess you've worked out the ending by now. So blame Katy, even though she didn't know it was her fault (but does now) And Honey, you can be bridesmaid, you'd look great in taffeta! I guess there's a twee Scottish band we should thank too...

I've been struggling to think up a really exciting review but fear I can't avoid damning it with faint praise. Its OK, its nice, its an alright indie album, unremarkable except for the fact that 2 memvers of Belle & Sebastian play on it. I *do* like Baby's In A Bad Mood tonight, though. As I said before. Apparently Stevie & Chris appear on Astrid's "Play Dead" album, too. Maybe I'll have better luck with that. I see that the Fragrant Princess Honey has found the time to add some pretty pictures to the Photo Pages recently. One is called Harem. However I can't work out whether the guy in the picture is supposed to be the owner of said seraglio or its guardian*. (*Omar K. Castrato) There is also one of the The Pinefox: ummmm, pinch, sizzle! RIBENA LOVING YOU TOO LONG Big Stu: Surely the problem with the likes of Ribena manufacturer Glaxo Wellcome is not that they made Beagles smoke a load of fags 20 years ago or whatever it was but what they are doing *now*: getting distraught & illiterate relatives in Africa to sign consent forms so that they can test experimental drugs on human patients, & refusing to allow the licensing of generic forms of their patented medicines that could save the lives of hundreds of thousands of AIDS sufferers. Anyway, I am as hypocritical as the next person. I'd drink Ribena if I liked it & I not only eat KitKats & Milky Bars but sell hundreds every week. My only worry is when searching for "Ribena" in the Sinister archives produces 4 times as many results as a search for say, "Belle & Sebastian". Props to Llllaura for the name check - I knew I could depend on you :) Splat! wears white socks.

I really think its one of my favourite albums. Ive listened to it constantly since 95/96 and it still makes me go gooey. About the visuals. We dont really have a schedule we just go along to places around our area and ask if they would like it, some of them dont though. We are doing some tonight at brixton and again next week. We have converted some of them on to digital so i could try and attatch them but im shit at computers and it might mess things up. Can i get something off my chest now. Ive developed an attraction (quite quickly) on someone who is way out of my league, you know, he runs in higher, more attractive, more popular circles.Hes intelligent, cute, a good dj and he told me some nice things. i have this very annoying defect where i go red really easily every time he comes near me now i burn up. he could walk in any second and i would turn beetroot. Ive just seen a video with him in it. i was glad the lights were turned off and when the credits rolled i left the room to compose myself. I,m in dangerous territory here, im glad its the last day of term, i can sort my head out, does anyone have any remidies for this, im 20 for fuck sake, i should be past that stupidly shy stage. hannah +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I just think that you're probably far more interested in reading about what the papers are saying about Belle and Sebastian than me whinging about how bored I am at work (other than the times when I'm devising what games it would be possible to play in my building - the corridors are perfect for either chasey or some kind of James Bond thing - or, like yesterday, planning a musical with the work person I share a psychic link with.) or talking about Eastenders (which even I'm getting tired of just now). But anyways. The current issue of The List (which you should all rush out and buy immediately if you want to find out all the exciting things that you missed in Edinburgh and Glasgow last week) has a couple a little things you might be interested in. One is a review of the Glasgow Yooni gig, which, while hardly a patch on our very own cub reporter David Howie's wonderful effort, is quite nice and quite short, so being a generous sort (and because I'm a sad bastard with nowt better to do. Except work) I've decided to type it out. Here it is! --------------------------------------------------- BELLE AND SEBASTIAN Glasgow University, Wed 28 Feb **** 'You should all get a coupon to come back and see us for free once we've rehersed', declares Stuart Murdoch at this 'election rally' to publicise the B&S frontman's race to become Glasgow University's Rector. 200 students and Murdoch's election rival Alasdair Gray are shoe-horned into this 'church hall' venue for a 30-minute stagger, saunter and shuffle through the highlights of their last LP. The occasional stuffiness of their recorded material is eliminated here and their serene and intricate melodies make most sense. Even a ramshakle rendition of 'Sympathy For The Devil' cannot fail to distract from their obvious musical skills. And he still lost the election. Politics' loss is our gain. (Mark Robertson) ---------------------------------------------------------- The other thing, in the same magazine, is an interviewy bit with Stuart David (does he still smell of wee, do we know?) and a feller called Luke Sutherland, who used to be in a band called Long Fin Killie, who I think did a single with Mark E Smith once, but then so has everyone. I'm not typing that out, cause it's far too long and I'm not that generous, but there's little bits and pieces here and there, such as Stuart D. being a big fan of Glen Campbell ('Rhinestone Cowboy' being his first favourite song) and hating Jamie Oliver. But that's only natural. Actually, it's not all that interesting really. You should never have bothered reading this paragraph. Sorry. In Sinister related stuff I noticed, whilst perusing a Slade website in the attempt to finish a crossword (that's a Slade website, by the way, not a Suede one. I always get them two mixed up. I have done for years. I remember back in the heady days of the early 90s confusing my first ever girlfriend by talking about seeing Suede doing 'Merry Christmas Everybody' on the telly. Maybe Suede will do that one day. Maybe they'll become a Slade tribute band. We can only hope. But sorry, like Ronnie Corbett, I digress) that Slade fans (not Suede fans), who are hardly known for their spelling abilities, spell 'great/grate' 'grayt'. One can only imagine the squabbling that would erupt if Slade fans (not Suede fans) were to gatecrash a Sinister picnic. "It's 'A-T-E!" "No, it's A-Y-T!!" "You can stick your top hat up your arse!!" Aaaages ago (like, last week) Jason, the Prince of the Pickles, pondered: >Why is everything cheap (in America) described as Scottish? and, more recently, Archel opined: >scotland = cheapness It's all that Portobello bastard Harry Lauder's fault. He propogated (is that the right word? I'm not so sure) the myth of Scots being stingy drunks in the New World. Which just isn't true at all. We're not stingy. But ye'll have had yer tea... Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. I think I should stop. But before I do, congratulations to Jules and Mikey, neither of whom I've ever met, but I feel they need congratulating anyway. Nice one! Isn't Sinister ace?

I think Todd Solondz is fantastic, but many (most of my friends included) don't agree with that opinion. "Dollhouse" and "Happiness" are hardly your Hollywood happy-feel-goody-type films. Solondz paints life as it is -- in shades of gray rather than black and white. There are no Good Guys or Bad Guys, just people with fucked up heads and lives. In any case, you all should maybe get a glimpse of what you're in for when the new film is released. Unless Mr. Solondz has changed, of course. Which is always possible. Hugs, Jeanette P.S.

I had no idea that AND YOU WILL KNOW US BY THE TRAIL OF THE DEEEEEEAD-AH! were actually called AND YOU WILL KNOW US BY TRAIL OF DEAD! Thank you for pointing that out Jeanette! Hardcore shoutouts and RAWK handshakes all round! But I think that the first one is better. "...the dead" implies an overall aura of DEATH whereas "..of dead" makes you think "dead what?", and then you get sidetracked into thinking about mutilated cattle corpses in American deserts. Booooring! If this was the bands intention, then I think they are most dull. I will continue to use the extra "the" version, unless this causes offence to purists of course, which I would *hate* to do... hang on no, I love being a contrary little madam, so nurr. And You Will Know Us By Trail Of Sinister sounds better without the extra "the" though. I don't know who AYWKUBTTOTD are, but I think they are genius! Will anyone make me a tape? I'll do swapsies of anything you so require or make you a fab mix tape in return! Go on :) Is there a Low/Trail of Dead crossover? Rad. When I last saw Belle & Sebastian I saw uh.... uh... people who go to see Belle & Sebastian aren't the type to wear band t-shirts. Or they weren't, last time I saw them anyway. What bands do Belle and Sebastian fans cross-over into? These days I mean? It's all moved on from the days of 70's WHO. Don't let me down by saying the Clientele. You'll cheapen our relationship and I mean that from the heart. HMV is currently selling a 3cd box set of The Fall earlier recordings for only 13.99. I recommend it mightily. I also found Satan Is Real by the Louvin Brothers for 9.99 which I cannot fail to recommend either. However, seeing as last time I saw it I could have sworn it was 18.99 be warned the price might be liable to fluctuations. Is someone on the list a Dominatrix? I believe it may have been mentioned in a post, somewhere... the only comment I can make to that is that sometimes I like to eat *weetabix*, relevant in that it rhymes. If I was going to try any sexual kink, it would be the one where you go into a big rubber tent and it starts to squeeze you. I bet it would tickle! Actually, that doesn't sound more fun than drunken groping really does it... Lord have mercy!

Noh) Date: Sat, 24 Mar 2001 11:31:50 -0500 (EST) Subject: Sinister: soundtracks & duets Message-ID: Hi Sinister, Yeah, so you might say "indie schmindie" about independent films, too, but Todd Solondz does a much better job satirizing American suburban family life in "Happiness" than the director of "American Beauty" does. That film was creepy cos, even though it was supposed to be satire, it was more like Hollywood taking itself seriously as being really superficial but trying to laugh ironically about it at the same time. So it was no surprise to see the daughter's girlfriend in the film posing on the cover of some women's magazine weeks later. Did anyone see "Ratcatcher"? Gosh, it would have been nice if Belle and Sebastian did the music for that film, esp. since it takes place in Glasgow and all. The boy who drowns in the beginning looks like a younger version of the male cover star of 3,6,9..., so Stuart I guess. And when the film opens with the boy twisting himself 'round in a gauze curtain, the end of "You Made Me Forget My Dreams" - when the music seems to be spiraling madly - could be playing. And the end of "LLPJ" should be playing when the main character is running through the fields surrounding the new housing project. Or maybe the Foxgloves could contribute a speeded up version of "Daystar" then, with loud guitars. But the boy probably would be too young to relate, so there would have to be another scene when he's older and is visiting his old neighborhood... They do have interesting shoes in the film: the mother of the boy who drowned buys these sandals for him, which remind me of shoes from Stride Rite when I was young, and she gives them to the main character - his mother forces him to take them and say thank you. I guess they'd be considered sort of sissy, but they're really nice. I got the Relict/Clientele split single and another single by the Relict. Gosh, 7"s are the perfect format for highlighting individual songs. There's something about having just the amount of space you need. And the homemade look of the split single is really pleasing. On "(i can't seem to) make you mine", I love Pam Berry's voice when she sings 'GARden' and Alasdair's when he sings 'aWAY'! Her voice really reminds me of pines - something fresh and green - delicate but strong at the same time - there's a quality that I can only describe as 'reedy' to her voice. Alasdair's is more like the heavy perfume of flowers and dew and intoxication. I was spying on lacewings again and Joey Sweeney, who's a writer for the Philadelphia Weekly now I guess, had a metaphor involving the smoothness of absinthe and crushed velvet sofas for their duet, if I remember correctly. (Joey Sweeney's solo album "Heartache Baseball" is really nice.) So with Alasdair and Pam, it's more how differences in their voices are brought together, but when Joe and Pam collaborate, it really is a perfect match, as the writer of the tangents article pointed out. Matching voices for duets would be fun. I think Harriet Wheeler would sound nice with Alasdair, too.

Message-ID: <78.12603bc8.27eef824@aol.com> Howdy folks, Not to engender the idea that us Americans are a melancholy and depressed lot, but like Ms. Morrison I've been questioning the proposition that someone out there exists for me at all. Sometimes it all seems so certain and other times I can virtually guarantee I'm gonna drink myself into an early grave by mourning each misstep over and over again. Fighting spirit is such a fickle thing isn't it? I keep re-reading this passage in the Great Gatsby where Gatsby recalls how he went searching for the lost time between he and Daisy after she had left for her honeymoon. As the train is pulling away, "he stretched out his hand as if to snatch a wisp of hair, to save a fragment of the spot that she had made lovely for him." Sums it up quite nicely, I suppose. Hot on the heels of the Baltimore Ravens Super Bowl victory, the Maryland Terrapins have reached the Final Four!!!! Ms. Laura Llew and your crappy Tar Heels, I simply say...TAKE THAT!!!! Next Saturday we do battle with the Duke Blue Devils for the fourth time this year, with the winner playing for the National Championship!

I looked after my mum and didn't play Belle and Sebastian as she drove me home in the car as ecen though she likes them, she says, but only in small doese. Not sure why this is, though. She's more of a Radiohead gal and is still mourning Bernard Butler's departure from Suede. And I didn't shout at my dad either when he was driving me crazy so all in all I was a very good daughter. Since I came home I've been playing on the Wu name generator (http://www.recordstore.com) which is the best game since Sardines. My Wu name is Contagious Specialist. And I will use it wisely. My funniest B&S moment is when I was wearing my 'colour blind' T shirt for the first time and my friend said "You have to look hard" and I said "No, no, they're sweet Scottish types." "No, not hard like a thug" she replied "You have to look hard to read the words!" Well, I laughed.

It occurs to me that Honey is our list mommy. So happy Honeyday! Mwah! Mwah! Perhaps some Glaswegians can help me out, here. In particular, those who frequent the Cumbernauld Road in the vicinity of Stepps (not the S-Club 7'ooohh TINA you are so gorgeous' rivals btw Miss Cyberglam) . Somewhere along it are traffic lights (as is roads' wont). Going northeast, looking to one's left is a house. In the front bay window of this house used to stand Paddington Bear. If it wasn't the real Paddington it sure looked like him. [further reading #1 http://www.paddingtonbear.co.uk/ ] Anyways, this bear stood looking out at the traffic every day, year in, year out. In the winter he wore the standard duffel coat and in the what we wistfully aspire to being the summer months, something more seasonally appropriate. Probably a sou'wester. Sometime in the mid 1990's, a fancy new road was built: straight like a racetrack with big, empty lanes and an absurdly low speed limit, but I digress. Evidently, around this time, said bear was no longer to be seen looking out at the traffic. Perhaps he got bored when all the commuter action left for the big road with the low speed limit: drivers, no longer stuck at the traffic lights; no longer there to smile or wave at him. There were letters to the paper about it. I'm sure I remember there were letters to the paper about it. Does anyone know what happened? Has anyone, perchance, come across a slightly furry personage wearing a hat and smelling faintly of marmalade? Dreams For a small person (or probably because of it), I have an absurdly large ego. Which might explain yesterday morning's dream. Its denoument involved me ripping the superstructure off the hull of a scale model luxury yacht and hurling it at the feet of Tom Cruise, no less; me yelling 'What the h*** do you call this sh**e?'. At the time, Mr.Cruise is the director, co-producer and star of the latest Bond movie, I am the set designer and we are both standing on the upper lawn of my parents' back garden. The route of the problem, see, is that I've come up with this idea for a fight scene on the etched-glass roof of a yacht which has an *entirely glass superstructure* and a pool below which divides the main deck clean in two and continues out the front like a cross between a large fishtank and a bowsprit (I have drawn sketches of it, btw). However, behind my back, Tom has been browbeaten into opting for a conventional yacht by the fat, cigar-smoking, illiterate bully of a man who is the principal co-producer. I rant, rage, rant at Mr.Cruise screaming words like 'integrity' 'critical visual idea(l)' and 'Fellini' at which point Tom turns into a talking sunflower, but without the stalk. And the sunflower is violet, not yellow, but it does have his face surrounded by petals. He says his hands are tied. I threaten to walk off the set. I'm so angry I wake up. I spend the next half hour curled up in my pyjamas on the floor with a sketchpad, a biro, and a blue highlighter pen for the watery bits. Sorted. If any of you *do* wish to hire a yacht, try this ref: http://www.cnconnect.com/cgi-bin/load.cgi?lnk=http://www.cnconnect.com/charter.html One of them comes complete with resident violinist, which would be nice at breakfast time somewhere in the Med. A little Pagannini with one's cornflakes and orange juice. Running to catch the bus that is the midnight hour I think 'erk!' content: ah, soundtracks... lurvely. My big brother took me to see 'Welcome to the Dollhouse' at the Curzon Mayfair, which is a nice cinema. We were both in London at the time, so it seemed a feasible thing to do, as indeed it was. A good time was had. Mr.Solondz is clearly a remarkable fellow. The dreamy boy/girl theme of that movie, shot in lovely colours... I see why he chose both Belle and Sebastian to provide the soundtrack for his new excursion. Good Good. There's a movie called *Gallivant* by Andrew Kotting that some of you might like. It's a road-trip movie around the coast of Britain featuring the director, his granny, and his daughter, who has something called Jouberts Syndrome, which means she can only communicate using her own kind of sign language. Kinda kooky kotting, you might say. Out on video (British Film Institute). gold medal: you had the good sense to skip this post silver medal: you managed to scroll all the way to here bronze medal: you read my post. I love you.

The idea of 1500 strangers turning up to our wedding quite appeals actually, so you're all invited. It'll confuse the parents... excellent :o) Not that they won't be confused enough as it is, however. Or mine will be anyway, since their nice little middle-class sensibilities will make them assume the wedding will be in a church or a registry office, when in fact it will be in a forest. So you must all set aside a plenty of time in summer 2003 then, there will be the wedding then a picnic (aka a bunch of people getting pissed in a park and probably arrested). And finally, just how *do* you tell your parents you've got engaged to a girl? Especially if I suspect they don't wholly approve? (NB I can't tell them to piss off because they're buying me a house.

I think I know the feeling... that weird time when it's late and quiet, and the front of your head is pounding and your eyes are squinting and heavy as you try to paint a really thin line on something, and all you can think about is to make the picture look better... and the fumes of the paint make you feel all dirty and tired. When you finally go to sleep, all you can see is that squiggly thin line and your unsteady fingers tediously trying to paint it longer and longer. Yes. The only Academy Award big deal movie I saw was "Pollack" which was really cool but made me feel like my painting was a big fat joke. Oh well. Paddington Bear was okay enough, but when I was little I was a much bigger fan of Corduroy the Bear... the one that lost the button off of his corduroy overalls and got locked in the department store at night when he tried to look for it.

I saw a special inside look into beauty pageants. I don't understand how they can make those girls' hair poof out like that... it's like straight at the top, but then when it gets to their shoulders it BURSTS out in thousands of curls... plus, it never moves... EVER. The anxious mothers wait in the audience nervously cluctching bottles of hairspray. They play grocery store music in the background. >I have shunned the sun since High School thus making >me into quite the whitey. The sun is so mean to me. If I sit out for too long, I turn lobster red and pass out. Then, I don't move for a few days. So, I tend to avoid too much sun. I am moderately pasty as a result. Maybe it's for the better... one of our teachers always tells us that suntanning is a sin because it harms our bodies and makes us more prone to skin cancer. Really late last night, I was driving home by myself after having a lot of fun... and they played most of IYFS on the radio... I drove really fast and just sang the whole way... it was really perfect. Night night. Lauren __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Youn said plenty interesting things, like she does. >>> Todd Solondz does a much better job satirizing American suburban family life in "Happiness" than the director of "American Beauty" does. Yeah, but wait till you see A Kiss In The Strawberry Dreamhouse. The spoons from the Velocity Girl and the cheese-grater / fish-slice act from Helen Shapiro are going to be worth the admission fee alone. It's all about the money. It's all about Lucille, it's all about Adelaide, it's all about the money. >>> Did anyone see "Ratcatcher"? Yes. It is very bad. >>> Or maybe the Foxgloves could contribute a speeded up version of "Daystar" then, with loud guitars. Maybe they could. I'll have to ask them. But I heard that one of them thought that the film was very bad. So I don't know how they'd feel about the extra work of making the guitars louder. Still, they are harlots, that's what I heard. It's all about the honey. >>> I love Pam Berry's voice when she sings 'GARden' and Alasdair's when he sings 'aWAY'! Her voice really reminds me of pines - something fresh and green - delicate but strong at the same time. It's funny you should say that. Her voice always reminds me of worms. Glowing worms, in the dark. Or maybe stones, or shells, or old movie stars. I don't know why. >>> Joey Sweeney, who's a writer for the Philadelphia Weekly now I guess, I guess. But be sure not to mix him up with TONY Sweeney. You won't do that, will you? Good. I just heard that there is a legendary Poetry Cafe version of that Clientele song, by the way. It lives somewhere in Chelmsford. I think that I'll go out and get bored. >>> Matching voices for duets would be fun. I think Harriet Wheeler would sound nice with Alasdair, too. Well, yes. Harriet Wheeler would sound nice. I mean, has she ever failed to do so? I bet the prospect would sound nice to AC, too. But frankly I would not be able to tolerate it, it would just make me too jealous. I would rather HW came and sang with me. If she didn't want to do that, or if my pop colleagues objected, then she could always come and do something else. Walk in the park. Cook. Go to a footy match. I'll pay, Harriet, honest, even if it has to be Stamford Bridge. We'll never get to Cardiff now. I mean, really, we don't have to sing. We can do whatever you like.

Message-ID: hello, It's that funny time of year at the moment when you go outside and it feels like a summer evening, all glowy(if that's an adjective) and soft, and then the next day it's snowing. hmm. someone upstairs seems to have fucked up the weather system. and the country, what with all this foot in mouth disease around. It's odd cause I was listening to GZM's Blue Trees the day when foot and mouth broke out, and it has a track called Foot and Mouth '68 (I think that's the year, it was certainly a number with a curvy appearance.) I considered briefly the idea that either I or GZM were psychic, but dismissed the idea on the basis that if you listen to music constantly then somethings bound to happen that links to the music. And nobody thinks they're psychic if they're listening to 'Here comes the night' in the evening and then it happens. That was all very badly expressed, but i'm sure you get the idea, being as you are intelligent beings. Today I have to worry about whether I'm in an intelligent being as well beacuse it's parent's evening. It distresses me somewhat that despite the fact my education is now voluntary, i am still forced into 'inviting' my parents to meet my teachers. It worries me because my dad is a bit of a socialist nutter and is apt to go off on a rant. I think it's lovely that he's still got his beliefs, but I think my teacher's suspect him to be a Russian spy. Also I have not been keeping up very well recently. But it's very hard when I have to pretend I'm interested in physics, chemistry AND biology. I stick out like a sore thumb amongst the rest of the class who are all neat and tidy and find dipoles interesting. I would feel a lot happier in the art room, unfortunately I am shit at art, which is a pity. Somewhere inside me there must be an artistic gene fighting it out with the ability to do chemical equations gene. It's just the chemistry one is dominant. I'm going to ATP. Did you know that's an energy carrying molecule? And every time is see it in a text book I get all excited about it because it's so long since last summer's festivals and I love the feeling you get at a festival when you think, wow, everyone here loves lovely music too. Apart from at the carling weekends where you think, aagh, too many Limp bizkit people in red caps. They're everwhere in leeds, almost as abundant as the goths. Apparantly we have more goths per square mile then anywhere else in the country. Although i think this is probably an inaccurate measurement since they are all concentrated in the corn exchange and my train statio benches. Did anyone else see that thing about Geri considering being bi? Bit bizarre since she's made a career out of being a man eater. And i think most people have ocasionally thought that someone of the same sex is a bit sexy. unless that's just me, in which case i wil blush and stumble into a corner. ooh, i have gone on a bit, but then not many people have posted today so i guess that's ok. cheerio, Grace --- And she spent the rest of the day separating the bits from the marmalade, or, if you prefer, the marmalade from the bits.

Calling Jordan from the UK on a mobile is a good way to use up one's credit in one fell swoop. Go forth and make not-so-cheap calls..... Trembling Blue Stars and Tompaulin in Oxford....I thought I'd miss it, but maybe I won't, as I discover that my plane back home from holiday lands at Heathrow at 8.50 in the morning. Good. I suspect I shall have to get hold of some decoffeenated caffeine to ensure that I stay composmentis until the evening though. I need to buy a hat, something with a wide brim which is more substantial than a straw hat but not made of thick material either. This'll serve two purposes; as an identification aid at London Bridge Station en route to All Tomorrow's Parties and to keep the sun off in Jordan. Anyone been to Jordan? Advice on where to go, what to do and what not to do would be greatly appreciated. Go to Petra and Aqaba and don't eat salads is as far as I've got so far. mArk _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I intern at a classic rock radio station here in rainy portland and for once, I love something i'm doing. Now my school won't let me continue it because I can only get credit for one semester of internship and it's unpaid, so I can't do much about it. Just like that, my fun is over. So, I'm rather sad. I also have to take a speech class from the hardest and meanest prof. here....great. Now I'm at my other job and it's boring as usual. so, I received a b&s video in the mail today--yay! A live performance in Paris from 1998. I have only watched about 6 or 7 songs worth, but it is quite fabulous. Since I'm so deprived, I have never seen them live, so better this than nothing. so, that's it for another rainy day in Portland.

I'm going to talk about decapitation today! It is related to list business, because you would definetly leave a ...TRAIL OF DEAD(death), and since when have they been unrelated to anything? Especially tunes? So! Reading about decapitation on tube trains has made me feel a little unsafe, sitting at my desk with neck exposed to the elements. I know it is unlikely that a tubular train will rush through my office and tear open my neck with harsh steel wheels exposing the raw sinew (as opposed to the cooked sinew I have in my butties) to the acidic daffodill scented air of the third floor, but still, it's not unreasonable to casually retain a hand on your neck in caution, is it? For the past ten minutes I have been shuddering whilst visions of wheels slicing through my neck and my lifeblood splattering the filing system. Does anyone else dwell on graphic visions of their distasteful death in unlikely circumstances? I know a few of you dwell on thoughts of Isobel Campbell, which I imagine to be just as distasteful, if less "tomato ketchup" splattered. Actually, I could carry on and be even MORE distasteful but I won't! Eww!! No don't worry, I am sure that listening to "Beyond the Sunrise" or "The Gate" would be better than decapitation by tube train, no honestly! Was that a bit too morbid above? I don't really mean it. Just such an easy target...You should know what I think about when I'm *really* bleakly depressed, rather than just bored mindlessly. But there is hope. Bring it on, lunch! I didn't have a dream about BelleNSebastian but I had a dream in which someone who has one of their records (ie me) popped up, so I'm going to tell you about it. In the kitchen on Saturday whilst waiting for a party to start "swinging", I told the gathered group of kitchen dream analysts. They say it is a surprise that I have it together enough to leave the house. I only leave the house because I have to work, I tell them. If I had an option I am sure staying in bed all the time would be a life choice, if rather a depresing one filled with bedsores... ah yes. The main thing that happened was that my teeth fell out. Apparently in boys, this is classic fear of castration. I am a girl. So then someone said it means I fear lack of control and it represents my insecurities in the world. I said they fell out whilst I was surrounded by my entire family. OH, you're *really* insecure, they said. AND the boy I'm currently over-obsessed with. AND I was in my pyjamas, at a posh party. And THEN my clothes started falling off, and I was trying to hold them up, whilst holding half of my teeth and spitting blood! *gurgle*... Then everybodys head exploded with the godammed symbolism of it all. What do any pop psychologists here think? I'm reading "On Kissing, Tickling, and Being Bored". I will consult.

Mick suggested I post something on the Sinister Board. Now normally I wouldn't expect anybody to listen to anything I had to say and that is the natural way to be after all, what the hell do I know? However in life there can be exceptions to the rule and I guess this is one of them. O.K. here goes. There is a gig on Wednesday the 11th of April at Nice'n'Sleazy featuring `The Aislers Set`. You should go, you will thank me as they truly rank with the greats, well they're my favourite group anyway. So much do I love them that I've been moved to arrange a gig for them in Glasgow as part of their British tour. O.K so I have a personal interest in the success of this gig but really, that changes nothing, this group are incredible and you shouldn't miss them, Oh yeah, they're from San Francisco by the way and some of you may have heard of them already. They've got a record out called `Last Match` on Fortuna Pop. It's their second LP. They've got another one called `Terrible Things Happen` but I don't know if that is available in this country. Support comes from `Airport Girl` and errrrrr...`Me` well you shouldn't worry too much about that I'll be on first and Sleazy's sell excellent cocktails upstairs ( Airport Girl are also well cool by the way). Well, thanks for your attention, I hope you can make it, you'll be really doing yourself a favor. Incidentally there is another gig on Friday the 6th also at Sleazys. It's a Scottish Socialist Party benefit and some of the group will be there doing some kind of covers set, Teenage Fanclub are also appearing doing a set without guitars which is intriguing. Tickets are =A37 and go sail from `Missing Records` on Gt Western Road Glasgow tomorrow I think. O.K.

I dreamt that I was dreaming about kissing her, and that she was dreaming the same thing, so I became real. I dreamt I could actually feel everything, that it was actually happening. It was one of those windswept balcony scenes, only the balcony was made of stone and she was kind of leaning over, like they do in the old romantic films. I totally forgot the dream when I woke up. Then I get a message on my mobile saying that my list crush had dreamed about me, but had forgotten what happened. I then remembered my dream... weird. Also, she posted to this list a little while ago, saying that she had a dream about a boy helping her with her welsh work. It turned out that he fitted my description exactly. She hadn't seen a picture of me at that point. She's also like a female version of Andy in 'Judy and the Dream of Horses', hardly any different at all. I've never believed in fate... I think I still don't, but it's a hell of a coincidence. Has anyone else on this list had similar coincidences/fates?

It gives me the willies a bit when Sinister goes all quiet like that (and makes my day considerably duller). I was sitting in front of my pooter scratching my head and wracking (or should that be racking?) my brain to come up with something to post about but, well, I just didn't feel like it, sort of, so I kept schtum. However, I did spot this on the NME website, which means that my post is pure, unadulterated content. Howzat! http://www.nme.com/NME/External/News/News_Story/0,1004,22502,00.html Our chalet is going to be the bestest, absolutely, without question.

Message-ID: <382401339.985792748908.JavaMail.root@web597-mc> Hullo, Last week I adopted a pet. It is a plastic pink and blue cockroach, he is called Bobby and he is French too, and he was born in a Kinder Egg, and he has got nice legs that I can chew. These things that happen to me when I am on the bus back home. My boss made my day yesterday, because he gave me my week end off to go to ATP. Well he doesn't really know I am going to ATP, I put on my little "I work hard and I am tired and I need a week end off" face and he gave me my week end. So now I am all excited about meeting people and gigs and drinks and walking bare feet in the sand. These things that my boss does for me. My mum came over to visit me for 48 hours, no more no less. I took her to every single place in London she wanted to see and that was a lot of places, including taking smiley pictures in front of Buckingham Palace. My flatmates helped me to clean the house before she arrived and she was all impressed. These things that mothers make you do. First London picnic scheduled for the 5th of May. Mmm now we have to decide where it is going to happen. For some obvious reasons (like I live 5 minutes away) I am pretty keen on the Green-Witch idea but well, I can travel. It is going to be such a great day I am sure, I can't wait. These things that we drink and eat and drink again at picnics. Now that my mum had left me with no energy and no food in the fridge I have to go and get some food and study. Oh well, maybe I will just collapse in my bed until tomorrow morning when the alarm will tell me to go to work. These things that you have to do to pay your bills.

While i was away last weekend (at an African drumming and Dance workshop no less, dahling, how bourgeois!), i was informed that Vanessa Feltz's house was ransacked.

LONELINESS we'll see how that's like in a fortnight. i really hope that there are women out there who'd like a nice, sensitive, caring, listening and passionate guy...so long as looks aren't an issue...

Lately, I have been quiet myself because thee has not been much to say. I live in vermont, and my life is to say well, extremely unexciting, but extremely contempt. I guess relationships do that to one. The film and B&S and the "Quiet Riot"... I just like to add it is very cool that B&s is doing the music for the film. I hope it comes out well. I read a review for the kings of convienance, for thier new album quiet is the new loud which mentioned B&S, it pretty much stated that quiet airy music is dominating the underground, thus there being a "quiet riot". Onion music reviews are grate... Oh these early spring days are meant to be enjoyed, though it is still a bit nippy out, one can see the blossums coming to bloom around the corner and the world once again turning a lush green. That and lots o' mud. Chris P. ===== www.mp3.com/sevenstars So many days pass lost in the skyline.

Message-ID: I was trying to look up some of the new Aerosmith songs on Napster, because I didn't want to spend more money on CDs. So I looked up Aerosmith and 'Jaded'. But I got the reply that there were no matching files found!! I was confused by this, until I looked up just Aerosmith. I got replies that said 'Jadded', instead of 'Jaded'. And they retitled the album 'Just Press Play' instead of 'Just Push Play'. I find this interesting for some reason. And sad. But more interesting than sad. Anyhow, I learned how to play 'The Model' today. I don't like some of the chords in it, but I really like the song. So I am happy. Today is Wednesday. Tomorrow is Thursday. I have no free time on Thursdays. Thursday is not my favorite day. I have discovered that I really like peach yogurt. Having a cup of peach yogurt makes me excessively happy. I am a really simple-minded being. I have twenty dollars in quarters. That's eighty quarters. So although I have twenty dollars, I can't spend any of it. But having pockets full of heavy coins is surprisingly satisfying. I think I am going to go do my religion homework. I am going to stop procrastinating. Which brings me to the point of my new coffee mug. It's red with a yellow and gray rim, and it says 'What Deadline?' on it. I thought it fit me perfectly. As well as my AIM buddy icon, which says 'Be a Bum'. If you saw my room last term, you'd understand. Now it is clean, only because my parents came in and cleaned it for five hours while I slept. I felt like a spoiled ingrate. But that's ok. And I'm really going to go now and do my homework like a good little girl. Lots of love, an electronic dog, and a ceramic toilet. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I've finally made some friends at university but they're all thin and pretty and I feel really daft and awkward sitting next to them.

It was funny cos i was playing on the modern interweb whilst mrs carsmile was watching it, and every now and then i let out a big cheer as a bit of b&s was included. Unfortunately i now have that bluetones song that goes "MONDAY, count all the things in my stuff, do do do" stuck in my head, which is a little disturbing. Also the fact that the programme is like Ally McBeal lite, yet still rather amusing in places is disturbing. I've got about a zillion things to say today, i'm prolly going to forget half of them, better get on with it then... Is anyone going to see Aislers Set at Notting Hill on Saturday? Cos i'm going to see my mooooomie who is having a weekend in London village, so i thought as i'm about i might pop into the Arts Club. Secondly, anyone fancy a pint on Monday afternoon in London village, cos i'm going to a work meeting that should finish about 2pm. Surely it'd be less hastle to move there and commute back to bludy oxford. primpaint said: how many of you have sang along with the trumpet part from dog on wheels with a "ba baba baba" doing baba bas is for wimps. Playing air trumpet and making mouth trumpet noises is what the kids are doing these days. Dreams Apart from dreaming about the database i've spent the past two days working on (sadsadsad, i know), i dreamt the other night that Tim Hopkins had sent an e-mail to the list, with a list of the b&s tour dates on, and he was berating us for not paying attention or something. Anyway, the next morning (this is real life now, not the dream) I open my e-mail to find "Tour Autumn 2001" as one of the subjects. Unfortunately it was for some rubbish education fair, but it was rather spooky. Our Lucy said: Our chalet is going to be the bestest, absolutely, without question. Oh yeah, reckon do yer? btw, has anyone made a large "come on you pasty-faced vegan geeks" banner for waving at the 5 a-side? A pint of finest Queen Vic Ale to anyone who does :) I wanted to talk about the bootlegging concerts thing, but i can't get the words in the right order, maybe next time... did anyone else think Jason A was J Andreas. I was a bit confused "hold on he doesn't live in san francisco" i thought... Oh Steve Lurpack is doing a book signing thingy at borders the day of the oxford picnic, so we can go and give him some food. The "we" in that sentence rather implies that other ppl are going to turn up, doesn't it? hmmm And apparently Peacock Johnson will be making a guest appearance with Stuart David when he's on at Borders.

Jules and Mike are engaging to be married: delightful news! Mike, following an earlier thread about Welsh homework and list crushes, or Welsh boys and dreaming of classrooms or something, mentioned coincidences. astrology professor My best friend from school left our little home-town in Scotland a few years back to work for a big posh company and is now based in Chicago. He *flies* to work. Anyway, he was back here for Christmas and let slip that he has been seeing this girl since last summer. This is big news because, like me, he's 30 and this is his first proper girlfriend. However, I didn't think to disseminate the information until this Wednesday, when I suddenly felt the urge to mention of him and his gf to an acquaintance. Yesterday, I get an E-mail from this friend saying he and 'is girl are coming over to visit, *today*, before flying on to Istanbul to meet his girl's family...! More wedding bells on the horizon, perchance? An anonymous benefactor has just donated £1/2M to endow a chair in astrology at a (Scottish?) university. I don't believe in astrology (yet) but I don't think it's hocus pocus either. There are those who dismiss it on the grounds that 'it can't be true because I can't understand why it could be true'. Parallel lines intersect. not being there is another way of being here Carsmile and a guy from B&S mentioned the Aislers Set. I heard them on John Peel and immediately thought 'that sounds like list like music'. Seemingly so. Since I'm beginning to make Howard Hughes seem like a socialite, I won't be going to any gigs. As Archel says, "included in the places i won't be are london, glasgow and camber sands." I'll probably get the album. Does it have breathy female vocals? I can't remember now... The list of locations at which neither Archel, (I make an assumption here) nor myself, shall be in attendance, grows: the very first *leicester fiesta* (christened by Madeleine,although she doesn't yet realise it) happens this saturday. says John Jennings.

For the past ten minutes I have been shuddering whilst visions of wheels slicing through my neck and my lifeblood splattering the filing system. says Sarah Clarke. There's a good splat passage in '22' as well: Kid Sampson has just been sliced in half by a propeller of McWatt's low-flying aeroplane: There was the briefest, softest *tsst!* filtering audibly through the shattering, overwhelming howl of the plane's engines, and then there were just Kid Sampson's two pale, skinny legs, still joined by strings somehow at the bloody truncated hips [...] (p.428) covert international roach agenda Iridescence. The word came to me after reading Elenita's description of Bobby, the plastic cockroach. Is bobby's blue and pink carapace a subtle allusion, by those meisters behind the kinder-egg empire, to the spectrum of colours on a real roach depending on the way the light is shining? There is an artist in downtown Teheran. She has built hundreds of cockroaches out of tin and solder then arranged them, lovingly, in her bathroom. It looks supercool, if a little discomfiting. Is there something about girls and roaches to be discovered here? Or girls and potatoes? Raskolnikoff Skinner should become a consultant to the potato 'uses and abuses' panel. The mind boggles. *hear'say* pt.II i won worst dressed. and proud, oh yes, so very proud. but i also won best hairdo!!! says sweetie from Falkirk. Aww.

You won't be cajoled into sounding like *hear'say* either. Honest. more money Histrianic girl says 'having pockets full of heavy coins is surprisingly satisfying.' Mmm... maybe I'm cash rich and bank poor, but I'm constantly trying to lose loose change... it's too guilt-inducing to throw it in the trash but too embarrassingly pocket-bulgy to take on my travels. There's nothing quite so awkward as fumbling for an age in one's trouser pocket in front of the attractive cashier at the alcoholic shop.

Thanks, that gives me renewed faith in my impossible situation. I'm really glad everything worked out for you. I'll be at your wedding, just look for the famous writer (ok, maybe I'm getting a little ahead of myself) :) And now... more Judy and the Dream of Horses (you in the back, stop fidgiting). The next post will be a complete re-drafted version of the first 5 chapters (I've been working slower than I thought). After that, I'll set up a website with it on and post the link whenever it's updated, so that people who don't want to read it don't have to download God knows how many K just to consign it to 'deleted items' after skimming over the surface. Well, here is is... "We could work together then", I said, immediately realising the stupidity of my own words. I was usually good at the kind of banter that attracted boys. Of course, I tended to get bored after I knew they were interested, but the point was that they were. For the first time, I ended up feeling quite stupid. For this reason, it took me by surprise when he asked me to meet him the next day at eight, touching my arm lightly as he did so. I blushed a little as he walked away. I felt a bit dizzy after he left, though I found the motivation to begin to read my book properly, shortly afterward. Chapter 3 The next day was interesting at least. I was back at Sixth Form so I really didn't have much time to think about Andy. I was wearing jeans and an old black top, and doing my very best to look like I didn't care what I looked like. I did, I'd spent an hour and a quarter in the shower and twenty minutes combing my hair before I left the house. I had to make sure it was as shiny as possible and well groomed enough to pick up any shy 'book-reader ' I set my sights on. This was habit; I did not intend to concentrate my attentions on anyone at sixth form that day, or any other day in the foreseeable future. There were plenty of attractive and not-too-trendy boys, that wasn't the problem, the problem was that they were all groomed to be like that, just as I was. I wanted an ideal; I'd come to believe I could have anyone, so naturally I looked for my idea of perfection. Now, Andy wasn 't anywhere near what I thought my ideal would be, but he seemed to fit into something different, neatly side-stepping everything I thought I wanted. I met up with my friends in the common room before my first lesson. They are a bit cliquey but have mostly the right idea as far as attitudes and people were concerned. When I started out I used to sit in the corner and hate everyone, but I guess I grew out of that. The people there might not be the greatest people alive, but they get on with me, and I suppose that's the point. It's all a trade agreement with them, affection for affection, time for time, and it works out largely in my favour. If I put enough effort in, I can manipulate people into liking me. Of course I know that I'm not really worth liking, but other people don't know the reason I do things, just that I do them. People are only really concerned with how things effect them anyway, or that's the way it usually is. So we just sit around when we have time to kill. We talk about how all the kids around here are ignorant, prejudiced clones, or the latest punk album someone has bought or something similar. No one really talks about anything important but it passes the time and stops anyone from looking unpopular. First lesson was Geography, which I largely managed to sleep through. It was in one of the older sections of the college and nobody had really thought to redecorate it in the last ten years. It was a huge room with grey walls covered in bumps the size of two pence pieces. The windows were too high up to see out of, a feature, which, our teacher proudly informed us, was a design the Victorians used to stop children from looking out of the windows during lessons. To the Victorians credit, it tended to work. I passed the time in the traditional way, by drawing figures in the margin and writing various quotes. My fad of the day was to integrate the quotes and the illustrations. For example, "All men are evil, except my boyfriend" was illustrated by a picture of a cheerleader with her mouth sewn up and "We've got heads on sticks" was accompanied by various mice head's on sticks, all within sight of a minuscule piece of cheese. I didn't really see this as an act of rebellion, it was just a hell of a lot more interesting than drawing pictures of Brad Pit, or scrawling "JC 4 AL 4EV 9T9" or some of the similar rubbish which my classmates insisted on. English was slightly more interesting. The teacher gave us an assignment to write entitled 'The River', which I thought too wide a subject to allow the proper analysis of a particular writing skill. I also thought it was quite a banal and generic subject to use as the backdrop for a creative piece. I decided that the first point would clearly be more important to the teacher, and to the education system as a whole. I raised this point with much vigour and was met with a comment along the lines of 'When you've been to teacher training college and got a degree then feel free to tell me how to do my job. Until then be quiet'. Though I would have liked to list the variety of circumstances, which prevented me obtaining the paper in question, I decided this was not sensible. Instead, I did my very best to adopt to a 'Mills and Boon' style throughout my piece, reflecting the nature of our title. I later got a B+ for the same piece, my highest grade that year. Having had only two lessons that day I went straight home to prepare. Thinking, foolishly, that the longer I spent washing myself, the more chance there would be that Andy would like me. I spent several hours putting make-up on and several more concealing that fact. The reminder of the time was spent selecting clothes which conformed to no particular group ideal, made me look sophisticated and attractive, and yet gave the appearance of something casual I had put on without a thought. I didn't use perfume though, that was something even my vanity couldn't justify. The idea that men would be more or less attracted to me because of the way I smelled, beyond the obvious demands of cleanliness, was, and still is a repulsive thought. I was on the bus to the pub for and hour and a half. This was not such a long time as it could have been, and passed reasonably quickly. It was a route I rarely used, so the scenery was still of vague interest, and the conversation of the women sitting two seats ahead was clearly audible. Comments such as "I don't like poor people, why can't the just pick themselves out of the gutter like I did", kept me amused until the bus pulled in to the depot. Andy greeted me at the bus stop with a brief kiss on the check, then quickly moved a few metres away, like a tiger playing with its prey. This was the second time since I met him that I blushed. I was not used to his mixture of confidence and timidity; I was both unnerved and intrigued. I managed to mumble 'thank you' as we went into the pub, and smiled so oddly that it probably looked more frightening than endearing. Once we had found a seat, I began the conversation by asking his favourite band. Music being a major theme in my life, and I saw the question a good way for me to assess his character. He took his time to reply, though he must have been asked that question hundreds of times before, it seemed that he needed to reassess his musical values all the time. When he finally spoke, he said, "My favourite band kind of changes everyday, with my mood or the newest record I've bought. Some days I feel romantic, so I'll listen to Joni Mitchell or Kathryn Williams or I'll put Dock of a Bay on repeat. Other days I'll feel unhappy and I'll listen to Radiohead or P.J.Harvey. When I' ve had a relationship break up, I'll probably listen to Sleater Kinney and be angry." I saw this as the perfect opening answer and began to settle into my role as the interviewer, just as he settled into the steady rhythm of the interviewee. When I asked his favourite films, he told me, "My favourite of the recent ones is probably 'Breaking the Waves'. I'm not sure whether it's better than Casablanca, but then it's kind of hard to compare" "I love Casablanca" I replied, "But I've never really heard of 'Breaking the Waves" "I think you'd probably like it. You seem the kind of person who would. It's a wonderful film. It's got flaws, but only small ones, and they stop it from being another slick, soulless, Hollywood production. The main character, Beth, is wonderful; she's like a child, but not in an easy way. A lot of the things she does make me cringe, I kind of like that. I like a film that doesn't cover things up, that shows uncomfortable situations as exactly what they are." I agreed. It was something I'd always thought, instinctively, but never really explained, never really put a name to. To think that he could pick things out of my head and explain them better than I could was nothing short of amazing. As the conversation progressed, I steered it gently between neutral subjects, the boy, and myself. I made sure that I did not dwell too much on any subject. I made sure that he laughed whenever a joked and I made sure that he saw only a carefully selected section of my self, the section I liked. However, this was not an exercise in seduction, as most of my meetings of this nature had been, I honestly needed him to like me. There was something perfect about him and I knew it would not appear in anyone else, at least, no one I was likely to meet. This time my object was not to increase my self-esteem but to show his that I was worthy of his attention. Nevertheless, I had clearly gained his attention, as his face edged closer to mine with each word. I sat in the bar until closing time. I hardly drank anything, mainly because it didn't seem appropriate. It would have been a grave waste of a wonderful time. The location, the words, the situation, everything was perfect. There was no way I would let the night fade into a blurry haze. As the bar man called time, I began to panic. I began to think it might be the setting that made everything so special, a small village pub, playing Soul music with subdued lighting and an incredible mixture of happy, intelligent looking people. As the bell rang again, for closing time, I felt like a soul drawn from heaven. Everything seemed to dissolve and I could hardly manage the short walk to the door. As we passed underneath the wooden frame, Andy turned to me and said, slowly, "We don't have to be there you know" And I knew exactly what he meant. There was no need for him to explain and he realised this. He waiting with me at the bus stop in silence, hardly blinking. Just as I boarded the bus he squeezed my hand and pushed something into it. It was a piece of paper, his number written on it, in the most careful writing I've ever seen. It was only as I left that I realised he hadn't had a chance to write that number during our meeting. I had never allowed my eyes to move from his face during the entire time. We had also forgotten to say anything about the proposed art project, but then working together was never supposed to be limited to thoughts on paper. Chapter 4 The next day was a mess of ink, paper and Chinese takeaway wrapping. I sat on the ground in my room; writing the beginnings of poems and eating the food my father had picked up for me on his way home. I was bored of making images with them, and besides, you couldn't put word images with picture images, it'd clash. My main problem was that, in order to make a poem that wasn't wholly image, I had to put a sliver of a personality into it. I had been trying for hours to put a little bit of my fake self there, but it was impossible, the entire piece began to look false as well. I tried to put bits of other people in it too, bits of people I admired or loved or wanted to be. This time it was my lack of understanding making the pieces seem wrong. I crumpled the paper in my hand, jammed it into an empty takeaway box and threw it in the bin. I spent the next four hours watching videos. Nothing special, just two pointless, big-budget affairs I had rented with a view to immersing myself in pop culture. I got bored some way into the second, 'Speed 2', after forcing myself to watch 'Titanic' from beginning to end. The idea that these films had sold even thousands of copies would have amused me; the actual figures bordered on terrifying. After my attempt at video masochism ended, I sat in silence, cross-legged on the floor, delaying the inevitable. In a sense, all of my activities that day had been an attempt to prevent myself picking up the phone. Ever since I woke up, which was around seven o'clock, I had felt compelled to dial Andy's number. When I finally gave way, the feel of the thick white plastic against my hands was exhilarating in as many ways as it was frightening. By the time he answered, I was barely able to speak. I mumbled a quick 'hello', to which he responded with an equally nervous greeting. We talked for a little while about nothing important. He told me to meet him at the same pub at the same time, saying he had some art for me to see. He said he thought I would probably be interested in it, even if I didn't know what to put with it. I agreed, and, after saying goodbye, sat back slowly in my chair and closed my eyes. I didn't mean to smile but, for at least an hour afterwards, I had no choice. My happiness ended as soon as my sister entered the room. Straight away, I knew that she wouldn't be able to resist disturbing my happiness. She walked straight up to the television and turned on 'Dawsons Creek', the volume just load enough as to make my day dreaming impossible and draw my attention toward Joey Potter's latest mini-drama. The words "To be perfectly candid Dawson, I have neither the wish, nor the desire to enter into a lengthy and, to be honest, ultimately pointless, discourse into the meandering state of our, hitherto unfulfilled, relationship". Surely, the writer had taken the words directly from his A-level English paper, as no sixteen-year-old I know is quite as adept at dragging out a sentence. My sister sat entranced, her tight red dress and belly-top showing, in case any of her friends failed to notice, the extent of her intoxication with pop culture and the Beauty Myth. My sister, like me, was superficially popular, though she maintained this popularity in a very different way. She saw it as something to revel in, as she proved the day she came home glowing, telling me, "I sat next to Jenny and Adam in science today and do you know what Jenny said? She said that she never thought someone like me would sit next to someone like her." Of course, I ignored her, but that didn't stop me hating her for saying something so hideous, and worse, for saying it with pride. I hate my sister because she reminds me of everything I am, and makes no effort to hide it. That sounds like a horrible thing to say, but surely if you hate yourself, you can hate your family too. After ten minutes of my sister's interference, I decided to interfere with my sister's mood myself. I began by making minor comments about the hopelessly teenage plot lines and ridiculous dialogue. I slowly worked in more and more comments, all the while increasing the sentiments. Once my sister was showing sufficient signs of annoyance, I began making links between the characters and my sister's friend or behaviour, "Why do all your friends look like Dawson's Creek extras?" "They don't." "Yes they do Julia, they all dress in Lodge clothes and your friend Amy has exactly the same haircut as Joey Potter. You even act like them, and I'm sure you'd talk like Joey or Dawson too if you could understand a word they said." "Shut up." And ended by telling my sister that she was obviously stupid for watching such 'mulsh'. She wasn't happy, but I'm bigger than she is, and can easily outwit her in an argument, so she simply sat and sulked until the program finished, then left the room. I would usually have paused to reflect on my victory, but I only had an hour to prepare before my meeting with Andy. I went through my usual preparations and left the house a little early, to be sure of catching the bus. I waited in silence, fidgeting, unable to keep still. The middle-aged lady waiting next to me must surely have taken me for a druggie because as I was boarding the bus I heard her whisper, "She doesn't look happy does she, I don't know why the put all these chemicals through their body, surely it can't be healthy". To a man, who seemed to be her husband. I laughed and entertained myself throughout the rest of the journey by constantly scratching my arms and mumbling incomprehensibility, occasionally adding the word 'fix' or 'H'. The woman was not amused and visibly relaxed when I reached my stop. I couldn't resist winking at her as I the bus pulled away. She pretended she didn't see, I knew she did." "Seamstresses at the factory sewing garments for The Gap, Guess and Old Navy told me that they often have to resort to urinating in plastic bags under their machines [because they are only allowed two toilet breaks a day and their wages are docked if they take them]. There are rules against talking, and at the Ju Young electronics factory, a rule against smiling" - No Logo by Naomi Klein The Happy Reaper +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <20010330142327.16342.qmail@web1605.mail.yahoo.com> Hello Sinister! I've got that Friday feeling and it's not even three o'clock and the sun is shining and my dancing feet are twitching and I want to be outside! I hope it's sunny and kind when we're at ATP. I haven't been to the seaside for over a year, apart from a yucky trip to freezing, rainy Brighton in January, which doesn't count because we had hot chocolate instead of Mr Whippy. And tonight I'm going to see the Aislers Set, hurrah! And I'm going to see them tomorrow too, hurrah! This may be bordering on the crazymadfoolish, but the gig tomorrow is free and there will be Troy beer. Honour the Troy! Wanna hear about my latest Sinister dream? Miss Honey was taking assembly in my old school hall, wearing a well-cut tweed skirt (with a split right up the back showing her fishnet stockings) and a cream, slightly see-through blouse, a long string of pearls swinging from her neck and half-moon spectacles resting on the end of her nose. On every seat was the delicate behind of a Sinisterine. After Miss Honey had finished her sermon on how we should all love our neighbours, she said "now, we'll sing a hymn!" and lit up the overhead projector. Above us appeared the words to The Boy With The Arab Strap, written in green pen. I was sitting at the grand piano, so I started to play, my left hand going like the clappers. I looked up and all my friends were playing instruments too - Ally96 and the Pinefox had guitars, Lixi was striking her glockenspiel with precision and imagination, Mark C had a big pink double bass and Sally and David Moore shook tambourines and their hips. Chris Brown had a woodblock, Martin had his hands wrapped around a pair of big round maracas and Vel, Carey and Elena were special choir girls in special choir girl outfits who could do the difficult harmony bits. Handclaps were supplied by *everyone*. It was the only assembly I've ever been in where nobody had to be threatened with a ruler if they didn't sing. I'm not sure why I'm dreaming things like this. Maybe it's the sunshine! And ATP in one week! Yay! Are there donkeys at Camber Sands? Juicy Lucy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

When i walk down the street and i look at people i wonder if they're on sinister.. i look for the stereotypical signs, duffel coat, flares etc. then i thought if people saw me they'd think indie/skater/punk person rather than twee ya like, so yeah, prehaps i'm wrong but its still fun to look at people and guess thier social/class status, Ok that might sound like prejuidce but i dont mean it like that (if your confused then thats nothing to how i am ) I saw a girl with a green coat, ginger hair, a badge in the shape of a fox on her collar and i though hey is that Jules... after all i'm Sheffield, but i was too scared to ask. so this is my idea if anyones in Sheffield then come and see the fantastic Aislers set who can be put into a B&S mould with support from the amazing Airport girl and Djing by the nice people at Offbeat. its at the Casbah on Wednesday April the 4th. sorry to anyone who dosent live in Sheffield i feel guilty excluding you but just to make my guilt worse the very cool snow patrol are playing on April 9th at the Casbah and i'm DJing so you all have to come! anyway thats enough of excluding all none sheffield people, so yeah. has everyone been able to check out Kings of conveince yet? If you havent they must and if anyone in the USA has been able to get a copy of thier debut US only realse self titled album can i have a copy that would be lovely lovely anyway better go and do *stuff* love Nigel Love P.S sorry for being naughty. ------------------------------------------- Post Scriptum: Who's ya daddy ? http://www.lundwood.u-net.com/bettysclinic.htm www.wwf.com www.iowrestling.com daddy knows best http://www.sufc.co.uk/ http://www.htfc-world.com/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Well the fact that I should *really* be writing an essay right now probably has something to do with it. I haven't actually got anything of interest to say (as will become painfully obvious in the next few paragraphs) but bear with me. Nigel R. Townshend said: >>"so this is my idea if anyones in Sheffield then come and see the >> >>fantastic Aislers set who can be put into a B&S mould with support >> >>from the amazing Airport girl and Djing by the nice people >>atOffbeat" and I swore very loudly cos the powers that be, have rearranged wolves vs wimbledon to the very night that my 'favourite band of the moment' and my 'second favourite band of the moment' play the very city that I currently reside in. I could just give the game a miss but my stupid I've-not-missed-a-wimbledon-game-home-or-away-for-5-years-thing kinda compels me to head to wolverhampton that night. Grrr. Still, I'll be at offbeat on the Friday. I've been making plans for the potential B&S tour. It involves getting all my closest friends, a camper van and lots of time off work / uni (depending on the time of year) and doing as many gigs as possible. Only problem is that I need to make some friends and learn to drive first. Oh and a certain band to actually announce some dates... Someone incredibly lovely said I can play tambourine for one song at a gig of theirs and it made my year. Really it did. till later num num x P.S. people in Leeds and the surrounding areas really should go to strangeways 2 at the think tank this wednesday (4th) esp if you love stuff like yummy fur, milky wimpshake, smiths plus lots more stuff and of course B&S which, incidentally, I do. All the fun starts at 10pm. Tell the DJs "num num sent you" and you might even get a special prize� Oh dear - I'm beginning to sound like an advert... p.p.s can i also just send my congratulations to mikey & jules. Jake the rabbit says congratulations too :) _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Well i am in a strange mood cos i should be really happy, and i am, but i have had to spend all day in the library doing work and it sends you weird. I have had a really good week and now believe the people who say '...It really could happen, you never know' Thats right. Even things you think have no chance of happening, can happen. I am pleased it has taken nearly 20 years for me to realize that. 5 days. In a row. I have been happy. That is good. And it has been sunny in Liverpool today. Strange times for sure. Does anyone else honestly think time is going quicker? No. No. Just me then. Oh well. But ocassionaly you have the odd week that goes quick, but this is just getting ridiculous. I leave my house on Monday morning and by the time i get back it is Friday... Ah thats probably right actually. The second week in March i went to HMV more than i did my own house. Oh well, i could be dreaming.... I am going to Bugged Out tonight which is at Cream ( ok Nation for any hardcore clubbers out there) Never been before so quite excited. The Chemical Brothers are playing and so are the band South (On Mo'wax) My rather obvious and poorly put advice for the day is...never take the safe way out. Please, please dont sit back and wait for things to happen. As a rather good band from Manchester once said ...You've got to make it happen. Get to work, its Friday night.

Message-ID: it's Friday and I'm in a silly kind of mood so what say we start off with a little bit of content? I just bought FYHCYWLAP finally last week. I know, you're thinking "what kind of fan is this guy?" but you have to understand that no matter how deep my love for any band I always wait to hear the word on a record before buying it. Not that other people are always right but it's a little check I put in place to keep me from buying EVERYTHING. So, anyways, due to fishyclap's sort of "least-loved, only for the dedicated, acquired taste, definitely not their best but still better than other stuff" reputation, I was holding out until I found a used copy. The verdict? I've not yet acquired the taste. A few days ago, Sweetie Something wrote: and as we were passing the sherriff court the bus driver slowed to halt, opened the door shouted at a passer by 'YOURE A HOMOSEXUAL!!!' and drove off again how strange What would be even stranger (and infinitely more acceptable) is if the driver's hurtful and malicious intent were not such a safe assumption. It would be much funnier and more strange if it were just a simple, compulsive observation, the equivalent of pulling over to someone just to shout, "YOU'RE SHIRT IS BLUE!" or "YOU'RE BIPEDAL!" Although if the driver were doing this it would probably be due to some mental illness, like tourette's, in which case it wouldn't be okay to laugh at. At least not openly. More of a snicker behind your book kind of thing. And the primitive painter wrote: Will this tape be enough to regain my crown from a certain ginger fox? as the lovely laura llew's favourite tape maker , or was this just a plot from her all along to get me to send more tapes? Oh, she's playing us for fools, lads. I too am competing for that crown. I had no idea that the painter and the fox were in the same race. No matter, I feel a coronation coming on. Just by the way now, I have never registered a list crush but the lovely Laura Llew is looking to be a fine candidate. I love a manipulative woman. But you can never overestimate the value of talking dirty, so don't count listdomlisa out either. Back to an old subject: Men can indeed be dominatrixes (dominatrices?). I don't know what they're called (dominator? a male aviatrix is an aviator) but I read enough of my local sex columnist to know that their are plenty of women (and men) who want to play submissive to a man. As far as getting paid for it goes though, I get the feeling the market is much smaller and this tends to be something that goes on between regular partners more than as vocation. Scratch that off the careers list then. Right now I am at work watching the seagulls out my window. There are often about a dozen of them, just gliding and floating on the crosswinds that collide between my building and the ones on the opposite corners. When my day is going well I like to watch them and admire their flight, their simple lives and their harmony with their artificial environment. It makes me feel good. On other days, when things aren't going so well, when time is dragging, they fill me with a crushing envy bordering on total despair. I want to knock them out of the sky. I feel the same way about bicycle couriers. rinaldo Laura Lleweth, your tape cometh sooneth. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Nevermind that they don't even ski in Scotland, do they? (Maybe cross-country) Are there any listees in Tallahassee?

And he was right, it almost certainly was. And would a tall skinny bespecacled lad with a long black coat sporting a Mr Happy badge and a tartan scarf fall under the B&S fan stereotype?

"Hi there sinister!" "When i don't post forever i have to go back and read that months worth of email that i wanted to respond to but where too lazy to do so at the time etc. and now... "i was going to harangue Steve Christopher Walken about 'how do _you_ know that that is _really_ what brian wilson meant? and where do you get off thinking that the _last_ drug addled completely incoherent napkin with information on it that bw sent to the record company is even worth considering? how are we going through the motions of assigining value to these jottings and correspondances?' etc. but i won't. he likes the nation of ulysses. "can i say something about ribena? its ok, but it isn't as cool as vimto because vimto comes from saudi arabia. its also no patch on peardrax, which is the most complicated and many faceted artificial flavour ever! also the bottle is very appealing and somewhat leaky, meaning that the object which embodies the peardrax demands your respect and attention. or everything gets sticky. "my mother likes belle and sebastian, she likes them enough that when i played her FYHC she was able to say 'its really not as good as the other ones is it?' my dad doesn't like stumu's voice, which is fine, since he like Charlie Pride and CHARLIE PRIDE ROCKS! "pf should be glad that inspector forster was only a new shoenberg, if he was a new webern or even worse carter he'd have been 'totally fucked'. he wouldn't happen to be norman forster would he? i'd be careful, he might turn you inside out! pf also mentioned the proust can be a right asshole, which is certainly true! the way he gets all weird and possesive of albertine in vol 5 is downright terrifying. i just saw 'celeste' and thought it was pretty awsome! there is both good and bad in proust. i often reflect on this when administering colonic irrigation at the senior's home. scary old people. * "and we were talking about cheese, personally, i was devastated that none of you mentioned lait-cru morbier on your list of favourite lactose-y products! what the hell people? have none of you ever looked beyond the dull havartis, goudas and cheddars in the cheese shop? i think jay mentioned meunster! which is so awsome and fatty and good! here is a recepie for a sandwich of solitude to eat alone when no one will be near you to smell your breath after (good manners and bad breath get you no where): take one bagel, cut it in half and melt some meunster cheese on to it in the toaster oven. Next, get that big jar of kimchi out of the fridge and put a big bleeding red gob of the shit onto one side of the bagel. then put the other corresponding side of the bagel on top, the result is a kimchi muenster bagel sandwich! it is 1--fricken awsome 2--kind of smelly 3--very spicy! enjoy! "jay also stood up for mustard! mustard is the single greatest thing ever!! other than tintin we must also love the belgians for putting mustard on their fries! how awsome is that?! its the best! when i run out of food all that is left in my fridge is saurkraut and mustard, ever! but i have several kinds of mustard...with pepper corns, various white wine varieties etc. mustard is 'so for real'. "ian nicholson said "long fin killie' which fulfills my early nineties too pure quota for the month. they were odd wern't they that band? "andrew churchman already covered the whole 'camera obscura are actually from san diego' thing, i almost got to see them but they got held up at the canadian border...as did yaphet kotto and some other band that i was supposed to see last night. so i went to the 24 hr home depot and looked at lighting and lumber with this friend of mine who wouldn't stop complaining because i had made him go on a 40 minute bike ride to an obscure section of the city and it was cold. jesus, what a female reproductive organ! andrew also went on about the lapse, and how toko used to be in the lapse, and yes thats true...the problem with the lapse now however is that toko isn't in the lapse. when i saw them i was more impressed with the guy's sweater (it was a nice sweater) than with their music. it wasn't 'in the bush' by musique, i can tell you that! "jeff burke bitch slapped tim kinsella of joan of arc...and i was going to leap to his defence...but then, really, he's right. tim kinsella is really pretentious. and i like tim kinsella because i'm an over-educated nerd with problems relating to the world around him, so guilty as charged! its just hard for others to perhaps know how good something like joan of arc is when you haven't spent all afternoon ping-ponging back and forth between jameson and lyotard and frankly have gotten only so far as hating one more than the other but still think they're full of shit and just wishing that your girlfriend would drop by with some korean walnut cakes and you could have a nap as has been the case all to frequently with me. somehow, i think pretentious nerd people making pretentious nerd music is more honest than those same people pretending that they never went to school and never saw too many french movies and that they want to ROCK AND ROLLLLLLL!!!!! (making little black sabbathy hand gesture) GRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! and pretending that they never stopped liking Iron Maiden and that they are so violent and such etc... when they are not. at least Tim is being his artificial, pretentious self. not that thats an excuse or anything...just that i like that ok? "also, i saw fredrick jameson lecture twice last week and i chickened out of an excellent plan to pie the old motherfucker. shit. i was going to yell 'PASTICHE!' as my battle cry when i would have flung the fictional tart at his blubbery yale-school new criticism face. it would have been so awsome. "the belgians are laughing at me. "i saw andy *angel* blackwell last night...he was at the famous vaseline party. i was there too, seeing the hidden cameras. who are totally rad. forget kings of convenience they might be popular but they'll never be interesting, despite big gay joel being a bit of an asshole sometimes he's in charge of a truly awsome band. so thats that i suppose. GO SEE THE HIDDEN CAMERAS!

Message-ID: <200103312132.WAA21097@missprint.org> On MTV2 they just showed "Is it wicked not to care?"!!! In its entirety! I've never seen a Belle & Sebastian video before, I just wish I was alert enough to tape it. Wow, content. Hmm, I don't really have too much more to say, except I'm soooo happy cause the Daily Show just won a Peabody award (Which is huge considering they beat out CNN, FoxNews, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, etc...) for their election coverage. For anyone who doesn't know, the Daily show is a humorous news show that makes fun of the news and the people who report. It is also "The most important Television show ever". Their interview with the Spice Girls is an absolute classic. Quite an accomplishment for an upstart cable program. Nothing is really going on around here, though I think Low is coming on the 10th! I'm gonna try to go see that. Lately I've just been reading about Islamic law (fun) and going to work and school. School sucks, it takes up far too much time. At least I'm staying busy. Somebody asked replied to my last post asking me about some stuff I had found while shopping. I can't find the email, but I found the stuff in a little town called Freemont near The University of Washington. It's a pretty cool town, there is large statue of Lenin (rescued from Russia I believe) about a block down from a this gay bar, next to a bunch of antique shops and used clothing stores and a really cool record store. I'm not gay and I don't drink, but you gotta love that combination. :) Well, I must go read 212 pages about the religion of the Semmites. -- Tim +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.
