Sinister: Meet-ups!

Yoou funny people! Wanting a list meet-up in PRESTON!!! hahahahah! Even though that's the nearest town to me, and if everyone wants to go there I am sure I could organise something - Manchester I think is a much better bet!! AND NOT IN GLASGOW!! 'Cos then I cannot come grr godammit...hang on though... my parents are going away for New Years....would they KNOW if I went up to Glasgow....hmm.....but hey I like Manchester and nothing ever happens in the north so LET SOMETING HAPPEN! Manchester is great! Then again, when all you have is Preston.... I'm all for the meet-up's by the way - I have met a fair few people on the list and I am all for more of that....you all seem nice...ish... well, not THAT psychopathic.... I think it would be great, find a place wi' good bouze, good tunes, and Keiths good dancing, and there you go!! I mean my dancing is just the best in the world anyway (if you just don't look at me) so I don't count.... There are a few nice pubs in Preston though - I do NOT recommend the new look Adelphi (BRIGHT YELLOW!!!), so the best one after that is The Fighting Cock in my opinion, but tis small BUT! They have BALL BALL BALL, FOOOTY FOOTY FOOTY, BALL BALL BALL, FOOTBAL!! from the adam and joe show on the dookbox, so that is just amazing...and a pint of Caffreys is 1.95. But you do get the freaky crowd in. Micheal - Tokyo Joes? A GOOD CLUB!!! I'm sorry, are you TWELVE? That's the worst fucking club in the north west!! It's renowned for rapists and perverts and TRENDY DUDE HEAVEN!!! The club that we'd have to go to (if in Preston *splutter*) would be The Warehouse - which is a freaky rock club whose sole calim to fame is....er.... Joy Divison played there.....just a few years ago now... when I wans't born.... and you might get beaten up if you're wearing DM's, 'cos trendy dudes'll think you're moshers. Mmm, nice. Surely we can do a wee bit better in Manchester? Preston would be nice for a picnic! 'Cos we could have it in Winkley Square, and then go ON to Manchester later - Tim you like Winkley square, but Gary is scared of it, I don't know why 'cos its ace and cool... and yes you can have Uncle Joes Mintballs if you want - but I personally recommend again the strawberry sweets you buy from John Menzies.....they are amazing,.... I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!!!!

Sinister: Warning: List Abuse Ahead
by Michael 15 Sep '98

15 Sep '98

I almost feel guilty writing this, which is an indicator of the effect Belle & Sebastian has had on me (<--genuine B&S content), but does anybody want to buy a 24 year old MGB GT? Or a car CD player? Or both? Let me know. Sorry, Michael +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Reinventing apostrophes

Ssssh, everyone on the list used to be obsessed by The Smiths (except FluffySarah who preferred Mr Bean). Everyone is also smitten by Isobel Campbell (except Peter Miller, who prefers Harriet Harman). However, it isn't the done thing to mention these things for fear of appearing a stereotypical bed-wetter. On that note, how about at the next concert, putting Stuart's poser to the test. If we were to remove our clothes, *do* you think the singer would notice? When I give the sign, you are all to whip off our anoraks and run around waving your bits and pieces. It will create a media sensation and the press will have to revise their stock stereotype from 'bed-wetting anorak vegetarians' to 'bed-wetting anorak veggies WITH MENTAL DISORDERS'. How great would that be? Reasons TWATTYBUS is good but it's not quite right, Part 22:- There are a number of ERRORS INVOLVING APOSTROPHES in the lyric sheet. Consider: "Ease you're feet into the sea" (Gasp!) "Scouring everybodies face for some small flicker of the truth" (Ugh!) "Could you put a name to someone elses sigh?" (D'oh!) Who is responsible, D&K?

Sinister: Hello....

15 Sep '98

Ummm, hi....I'm new and was not quite sure if my reply about how cool I think the "B&S Pez Dispenser" idea was, got through. So here I sit in my office dropping everyone a wee line to say Hello....... Not much to know about me then, I'm 27, adore B&S, (thanks to Miss. Arzy) and loathe traffic.... Write to me if you like, I'll be here reading!

Oh yes, and about X-Ray Spex: "No one listens to this stuff for enjoyment." Best of all, though, is that he caught on to the first Replacements album; gave it three stars, and praised them for being fun-loving and not taking themselves too seriously, then sealing his epitaph in unfadeable print: "Who knows if we'll ever hear from them again? Who really cares?" Yet he had the patience to write what seemed to be about 8,000 pages about Bruce Springsteen. Double-hmmph. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Re: Sinister: B&S PEZ MACHINES
by Jeni_Morton＠rhinorecords.com 15 Sep '98

15 Sep '98

Ummmm, hi I'm new, so please be gentle with me if I do this wrong..... Anyway, I think B&S Pez dispensers would be BRILLIANT! I collect those silly little plastic things anyway, but I am running out of ones to search for........*swoon*.....how very exciting this would be........ummmm, ok well I'm off now..... Cheers- Jeni xoxo _______________________________________________________________________________ Subject: Sinister: B&S PEZ MACHINES From: "kenny" <kenny(a)dircon.co.uk> at Internet Date: 09/16/98 10:01 AM In an email to the list Sarah (or Jubilee?) wrote "Right now i'm in a state of denial, which will turn into panic, then if i can't find a way to get in anyway, it will turn to anger and chronic consumtion of PEZ candies" Which gave me an idea............. Knowing that the jeepster merchandising department are always wanting new ideas I thought that you could have a complete series of B&S pez dispensers ( you know, the ones where you tip the head back and it gives you a little sweet. Of course you would have one of each member of the band (thats 8 already) Oh and another2 of Isobel for being so stunning (that makes 10) And maybe a fox in the snow, or A bus driver (12) but remembering that little kiddies may buy these I think we can definately rule out the boy with the arab strap. And because we are all so obsessed with the band we would all go out and buy all 12 (well except Fluffy Sarah who would undoubtadly boycott the isobell ones just because she is so jealous) Thus making Jeepster more money. Of course I want a cut of the profits, Or a job at Jeepster as chief of promotions, or just as the lowly tea boy.

Sinister: hi-de-hi
by Mctaggart, Robert 15 Sep '98

15 Sep '98

Hello, Pierre von Miller hath wroted: >Uncle Joe's Mint Balls could keep us all aglow. Indeed they could, Peter. Do you know that was the drug of choice at Wigan Casino? Keef wrote: >Preston is fine, but obviously we'll need someone to set it up >there - do we have any volunteers, as I say, I'm happy to sort it in >Edinburgh and I believe Tag is happy to sort it in Manchester if it turns out there but we don't yet have a volunteer for Preston. Please >mail me if you want to hire a place and organise all the rest of the >stuff too. However, any place with a club named after a Bryan Ferry >song is the business for me. In that case, can I recommend "Jealous Guy", Scropton's finest niterie where DJ Darren plays the finest in chart smashes from 1992. Scropton is conveniently located, a matter of minutes from East Midlands International Airport. Our very own Little Peter Miller, himself a native of the area, surely spent many happy days there as a youth, playing snakes and ladders, headers and volleys, doctors and nurses and other carefree childhood pursuits. And our embracing of their sleepy little town can only help the local council in their forthcoming Olympic bid. Yes, I am happy to organise Manchester goings-on. I think it could be super jolly fun for all. It would kind of nice to have it during Christmas time, although I know at least two people are going 'down-under' around then. It would help though if you could express an interest or preference, then we know how many people, where, when etc, etc. Keith and I are more than happy to act as the Devil's Jugglers, me resplendent in my soul shirt, while Keith will be sure to wear some flowers in his hair. I like the idea of a Sinister summer holiday. We could go to Blackpool, it's famous for fresh and air and fun. Or take over Butlin's and have a knobbly knees competition (Trousers must be a hot favourite), a Glamourous Grandmother competition (Honey should walk that one) and other high jinx. That'll be it then.

Sinister: twattybus?
by Steven 15 Sep '98

15 Sep '98

OK, I'm new to this list, so forgive me if this has been brought up before. I've searched the archives, and I still can't figure out what TWATTYBUS means! I'm probably just being really blind, but I can't be the only one. thanks Steven, who just bought his tickets for the Chicago date today!

Sinister: reply:the bush, band speaks
by Sarah Jane Philp 15 Sep '98

15 Sep '98

hello i,ve been away actually seeing if the roxy music list knew anything about antony price but no so i come back just in time to get stuarts lovely note about the empire. that was nice i figured the story would go something like that and wasnt mindful of the band being late on but only bewildered by the booing of the dj and in fear for those fainting whited out people that i spied from the second balcony - all tipexed out they were. i ended up being real angry at london and wishing to back at those blissful maryhill things. Leaving early to get the last tube i had big row with my sister because she was walking all fast and anxious and i thought she,d been got by the london disease in a rush all the bloody time. and then we neither of us slept, dreaming of losing people, separation and stuff. we made up again but only when back in birmingham. strange that, what the capital does to you. Stay there too long and you develop a tendency to boo at djs. bye;sarah +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Hmmmph. a hideously snotty publication... dave marsh is a big jerk, i think... i recall him being particularly hateful in his reviews of x's albums as well... towards fan, no less... strange. wonder what he thinks of b&s? ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
