by R.North 21 May '99

21 May '99

Heya guys long time no see Sorry if you think I'm wasting you're time but hey I only do it sporadically! Well my message is that in the latest NME (Super Furries on the cover), the little news article about Bowlie II is fronted by a photo of me and my two friends! Yay! I'm the one in the Bowlie tshirt, my friend Paul is wearing the Brazil t-shirt and my friend Chris (not even a bloody fan - thinks they're too twee) takes centre stage annoyingly. oh well just thankful to the NME for making me a Bowlie legend in my own time. Cool eh? oh well, thinks to do, exams to sit. bye Northy -- ------------ R.North mlu404(a)bangor.ac.uk +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

hiya sweets: nice to see blake's back, and enjoyed mr. Schmidt's take on England ... wish i could go, at least to eat large candy bars and check out the green. someday, I'm sure. I seem to have a thing with islands. I'm always going away to them. I may end up with millenial island plans, who knows. A b&s millenial meetup? who knows. on the sweetness of sinister: it seems to me that "it's just like everything else," as the moms says: the list has it's swings, it's twists and turns, from smut verging on pukeyness to twittering about whatever knickers we've put on today (cotton, panties, purple), to American-bashing and anti-american bashing. Ian's thing is just another one of these things. I love the list for all the music recommendations, and for making me laugh at work, provoking strange looks from my stuffy coworkers, and for the odd post back. and I like people who like dr. pepper. I wanted to recommend a book to everyone. book club! book club! yay! The Mysticism of Sound and Music, by Hazrat Inayat Khan. He's a Sufi mystic and musician. the book's orange. For some reason I've equated music with orange ever since reading. The first few lines: "Why is music called the divine art, while all other arts are not so called? We may certainly see God in all arts and in all sciences, but in music alone we see God free from all forms and thoughts. In every other art there is idolatry. Every thought, every word has its form. Sound alone is free from form. Every word of poetry forms a picture in our mind. Sound alone does not make any object appear before us." The book is probably not for everyone, but if that excerpt piques your interest, hunt that book down and devour. if there's anyone out there with a recommendation who doesn't want to email the list, email me. I'm friendly. bye Cynthia _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

Sinister: i know it's been nearly a month...
by Amanda Bergman 21 May '99

but I just found this Bowlie page. it's linked to an 'anti-Steps' site (I was trying to find info about them to share with my non-Steps acquainted friend here) and it's an NME-style anti-Belle and Sebastian rant too. anyways, have a look, it's always amusing to read someone's cynical views on things. right? like parodies of song lyrics? point your browsers to: http://www.notmarilyn.freeserve.co.uk/bowlie.htm now I'm off back to the corner I crawled out of. waiting two more days to be reunited with her list crush, Amanda . . .. . .. . .. . .

Sinister: I*L*I*K*E*F*O*O*T*B*A*L*L
by John Warrander 20 May '99

Hello fools, What the bloody hell is all this nonsense about t-shirts and stuff? Are you lot seriously saying you have the foggiest notion who's responsible for the band merchandise you buy? Personally I don't give a shit. What I care about is that SPRFNK is worried that Blighty closes down in August.... SPRFNK said: >is it bad to go to the UK in august because someone said >there is a big holiday there and everything is closed No, no, no. It's only one weekend. And it's right at the end of August. Everybody goes to Reading. And it's shit. Actually, them funny Europeans all bugger off somewhere in August. Especially Italians and people from Prague. My latest dream is to be Italian. Has anybody else noticed what great condition all Italian men's hair is in? It is. I saw several thousand Italian men at Villa Park last night and apart from all being cool as fuck they all had immaculate hair and there wasn't a split end in sight. I love Italian men. Literally. No I do. Actually I love Italian women but I'm just trying to be hip. It's a Manchester thing. But thousands of sweaty Italian blokes jumping up and down and singing that song that the fat bloke with the beard done at the World Cup in 1990. Well, it's pretty special. Better than Belle and Sebastian even, maybe. Somebody else said there was storm clouds a brewing over Wolverhampton at about 11pm last night. And I'd just like to confirm that they were telling the truth. And Tim Hopkins said some stuff. He's pretty lucky he could though. I saw you supporting Leeds at Bowlie Hopkins. I'm a ManU man myself so you're pretty lucky I never kicked your head in. Do I need to point out I'm joking here? I'm not being sarcastic and getting at anybody or anything. I'm just a bit scared that Tim finds out who I am and chins me. JJ said: >I wish the bloke upstairs would turn his fucking music down. And JJ would. Somebody else asked for good books to read. That "The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter" by Carson McCullers is good. It made me remember why I thought socialism was a good thing. Easy to forget when the closest you get to a socialist government is "New Labour". You just remember that kids when you're putting your X on them European ballot papers in a few weeks. Just think "proportional representation". I don't love anyone either so fuck off, Lover...John +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: I would love to go back to the old house
by Robert Foster 20 May '99

20 May '99

There's been reel heavy rotation over the last few days of 'fey' and what it is to be 'fey', this was mainly due to a certain nameless persons email and how it was received by the 'sinister group'. Any way, Ian Hamilton said that he was sick with people being shy and fey because they were trying to be cool. This was angrily dealt with by the honey munster and also sparked a self analysis by some members of sinister who tried to work out if any of his shitty ramblings meant anything. Subjects included 'lowercase letters and Dr pepper' and the classic 'is it wrong to have sex'. And then 'CALLENDER R' Wrote: >Are there any other shy >people on the list who feel the same way? How do you get together with >people you fancy? Well, I'm afraid to say that I am also on the shy side of life. And when it comes to meeting girls, I dunno. As a product of playground cruelly my image of the world is a place a bit hostile so meeting the opposite sex is just a bit not at all easy. CALLENDER R also said: >The strange thing is that I can go up to someone >I don't fancy without any problems This is also true. Meeting ugly outgoing people is easy, but attractive shy, well, need I say more. As for my solution for meeting that allusive gal, I dunno. There was one once but she got fed up and went out with four of the most ugliest blokes you have ever seen, they were very outgoing though!

Sinister: useless first post...
by Kt788＠aol.com 20 May '99

20 May '99

Hello all you sinister darlings, I am yet another fresh-faced newbie who has just been given a voice, but quite fankly, I'm not really sure what to do with it. But you all seem like kind hearted souls, so I'll just go for it anyway. Well first of all (and yes, I know you've heard enough of it already) I'm a little saddened by all this Dr.Pepper bashing. It's the most original cola and my favorite beverage. David J wanted to know what the american version was like. It's pure, sweet liquid goodness and i'd be more than happy to send you some, if you'd like, David. Oh, and I've always thought of Dr. Pepper himself to be an old-time charlatan selling his sweet drink as an elixir for what ails you. second, Chris Jones wondered if being shy is a good or bad thing. Well, it is neither good nor bad, it just is. and you shouldn't nurture it or try to cure it for that matter. Being what you are should come naturally, no effort needed. If for some reason some day you are no longer shy, that is fine, too. But you shouldn't try and change yourself (unless, of course, you are being hurtful) because that is what growing up and evolution are for, and in that case you are still who you always were. Tips from a shy girl on how to treat a shy girl: tell her she's got pretty hair, sing her a sappy ' 60s tune (but no Monkees!), and bring her daisies to put in her pretty hair. but most importantly, don't put on any airs. Most of us shy kids ( as you probably know already) can see right through that sorta thing. Let's hope I didn't give away too many secrets ( shy gals are notorious for being suckers even when we know we're being had because we can't help being so nice). Ah, as usual, I've managed to babble on, making no sense at all. sorry. If you've made it this far, thanks for your patience. Next time some b&s related stuff I hope. love, Juniper +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Yo Ho Ho, I'm back!
by Blake E Hamilton 20 May '99

20 May '99

Friends, lovers, let us unite in my triumphant return (you in the back, stop your laughing) Well, where do I begin? Honestly, a starting point for a reflection upon my week er so stay in London is indeed not worthy of words, but rather thoughts thrown about, but unfortunately for you all, the latter isn't effective, to say the least. Well, I'll start off by saying that I did not, unfortunately, run into sir Jarvis. How I looked and peered around every street corner for the tall aging hipster, but alas, his portal only traveled with me in the form of a poster I happened to find at Camden Town on Sunday. Needless to say, I grabbed two Jarvis posters, as well as several choice cds, including the new Mercury Rev, Parklife (my old tape has had it), Gentle Waves, er um, lots of Ronnie Lane, finally got enough courage to buy a Nick Drake cd and of course, the Magnetic Fields. It should be noted that Get Lost did indeed win my "I Need a New CD (and attention)" contest, so being a stickler for truth and honesty, I did indeed purchase said product. All of my music is fabulous, though the Mercury Rev, though beautiful for the majority of the album, has some rather odd and disturbing bits, such as that disgusting guitar part towards the beginning of Hudson Line and the gross techno syncopated mess at the end of Delta Sun Yarr Haha. But I like it all mostly. Let me continue to say that I indeed love London. Immensely. If anything I enjoyed the big candy bars found in vending machines near the tube. If anything could subside a three minute wait, it was a mound of choco. We didn't do a lot of tourist stuff. I made Oxford and Piccadilly my home, saw a few plays, walked around a lot, read poetry in little book stores and wore my Stow shirt at least once. Somebody should have stopped me if they were indeed of the sinister variety. Bugger. I'm sorry to say that a whole slew of you sent me mails, but a day too late, so I was not able to meet anyone, hmph. Even the illustrious Funky Seb seemed too elusive. Rats. Well I'm going to stop now for it seems I've forgotten how to post. I'll work on it, and for the record, Mr Hamilton doesn't deserve his Salem-esque banishment and Dr Pepper is my lifeblood. Cheers, love and a happy day love always blake +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
