Sinister: Honestly, that's what it said...
by Mark Casarotto 14 Jun '99

>From today's Sun "newspaper": SECT ROW NO.2 HITS PONTIN'S "Families at another Pontin's holiday camp yesterday claimed an invasion of religious fanatics had ruined their holidays. They said bingo was axed and the main bar shut after 800 Seventh Day Adventists arrived at the camp in Ainsdale, Merseyside. One dad said "I had to go over the road to a pub." On Saturday The Sun told how families protested when 2,600 members of the sinister Sinister List, an internet based cult featuring spectacle wearing shy twenty-somethings, swamped a Pontin's in Sussex, and the go-karting was shut down. Bastards." 2,600 people on Sinister, eh? Never check their facts, these tabloids... +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: What a way to spend a Saturday (er..Friday) night
by Jeremy.Simon＠jwt.com 14 Jun '99

14 Jun '99

Aaah, sweet sweet Tigermilking. If only every Friday night could be spent in a crowded room in Highbury, then "I will be happier" (contrived). A few interesting B&S related points to follow, but first a ramble. I have sent to the list before, but never with any consequence. I do, however, avidly read every post. I work in the desperate, soulless, ruinous world of advertising (although my Company is gorgeous and lovely - I have to say that or the thought police come for me). I am therefore entirely lacking in moral fibre. I think my soul will be saved, for rather than devising devious ways to make consumers buy products they neither need nor want, I move flipcharts around meeting rooms. Dull, yes; glamorous, no. It does, however, give me plenty of time to waste your good selves' drive space across the globe. OK, five B&S comments and I'm off. 1) I went to see Citizen Kane last week (with the mighty Spoon), and was delighted to see that it positively bulges with Belle & Sebastian references. Kane's political rival's name is Geddes! At the end, Kane updates his hit list of wanks! In the picnic scene, the band can be clearly heard playing a crude but pleasant version of "Photo Jenny"! 2) Me and my friends came 3rd in the Tigermilking popquiz. (Did more than 3 teams enter?). We won some sherbet, which we threw about in an orgiastic cocaine style. Boy, I bet you wish you'd been there. 3) Hello to everyone I spoke to on the nightbus home on. I can't remember names (very, very drunk), but I think some are going to Trash tonight. Anyone else? I'll look out for badges. 4) Who the HELL was dancing to "Exit Music" on Friday? I couldn't decide whether to be impressed or appalled. Great to get down to MBV again, though (not since Bowlie...), even though I think only me and Spoon were on the dancefloor at the time. Now I come to think of it, it was probably only Spoon. 5) OK, that's your lot Sorry, I was wrong about the interest (he wrote) J. D.

Sinister: Exit Pursued By a Teddy Bear
by PJMiller 14 Jun '99

14 Jun '99

Dear Great Mates, I went to the theatre last night, and it was fucking boss, man! I heartily recommend going to the theatre, especially if it's something over three hundred years old involving pantaloons and hiding in cupboards and so on. It was like the play that they always used to have at the end of Bruce Forsyth's Generation Game. Ah, nostalgia is a terrible thing, especially when it involves poxy cartoons. I liked the Film Board of Canada's offerings best. The NHS specs of animation. Kevan Cooke, if I ask you for a tape of Clinton Ford, will you laugh at me and say "I made it up, you daft twat!"? So far I have spotted two references to public conveniences in Papercuts. Long may this trend continue. As for Jordi's fanzine, I feel that I ought to point out that Matthew's address is there in case anyone wants to order his fanzine, not in case anyone wants to go round to sample all that "living and loving" he's always promising us. I state this obvious fact because there has been a little misunderstanding in some quarters. B&S content: I had yet another B&S dream. To cut a long story short, Murdoch had to be pissed to go on stage because he was shit scared. Always. More B&S content: Why don't you write to Murdoch and ask him what the lyrics are? He's probably forgotten, but he might have them written down somewhere, and I'm sure he'd be only to happy to help. Unless he's drunk again, in which case he'll probably punch your fucking lights out. I've committed the faux-pas of sending work stuff to the list, and it was quite embarrassing, but I'd be much more distressed if I sent a pile of crap like this to an employer. Paul, get well soon, old chap. A hot toddy might help. Either that or some serious on-line shopping. lots of love from Sister Disco PS: I would like to add my voice to the general clamour for the return of the Piezoleptic Unit. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Saddle-back Moo Cows
by ScoDog1441＠aol.com 14 Jun '99

14 Jun '99

Hello all, 3 hrs 35 mins since turning on my computer and ive just read the last mail in my inbox. Well, the boss is away, so i can blather on for hours. I can also 1) put anything i like on the CD player (currently Pavement's Terror Twilight) and 2) wallow in my hungover hungoverness. So what has the ol' Scottydog been doing to deserve that? The story begins some time ago when i was seconded into a religious sect known as the Paula Cullen Booze thingy. Being a devoted member, i began the weekend by following the sects number 1 rule: Get down the pub before everyone else. From there voices in my head directed me off to a top indie night, that was only 'top' until the band came on which had to be endured as the bar was still open. Requested B&S song and the DJ said "oh yeah, i like them" but song failed to materialise. Found out later that DJ had used the same "..i like them" response to my mates request for another band (which also failed to materialise). hmmm. Saturday was spent in preperation for the Mighty Buckinghamshire County Pool team's (tm) clash with Oxon. Yep, drank myself stupid with another leading member of team. Sunday's match arrived, and being the consumate professionals we are, we shook off that hangover nonsense and proceeded to lead the Mighty Bucks to an astonishing 20-24 victo... no, sorry, i mean defeat. Oh well, Sunday night had the consolation of me knowing that I could get totally PaulaCullen-ed and not suffer bollocking from aforementioned absent boss. So i did. And me' boys felt like playing some more pool - destroying Bletchley (unfortunately, not literally) and giving rise to much celebration and whoopla. Im off, stopping long enough to apologise to the residents of Bletchley. Scottydog Not use booze sig as i dont want to think anymore about it +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: There's a club if you'd like to go...
by Mark Casarotto 14 Jun '99

14 Jun '99

So, thank you to everyone who came and milked tigers* on Friday night - it was a fairly successful success (only 2 short of 100 people!) and made me and Sam (and Dave and Kevan, DJs extraordinaire, despite Sam playing France Gall before Kevan got a chance to and reducing a proud man to tears) very happy and full of grins. Apologies for the dearth of live acts - we are a little cross about that, but we're hoping to rectify it before the next do... ...which, if we get our arses in gear, will happen in a couple of months, although the Garage is booked up for aeons, so we'll have to see. Thanks to everyone on Sinister who was able to come, even more thanks to people not on Sinister who took a gamble (not that they'll be reading this, of course, but hey! I'm an effusive kinda guy), and thanks to Jeepster for their support and generosity. You're stars, the lot of you :) With our very own Pam Berry and the superfly Josh from Holiday, who we embarrassed by playing one of his own fantastic choons, we had the promised pop star quotient, and with the luscious, pouting Scarlet we had our very own legend in the making - if this girl isn't a S!T!A!R! within months, there's no justice in the world. And Erica, honey, I'm not taking the piss, promise :) And it was satisfying to see everyone cast off their shackles and rock their socks to Madonna's "Anna Friel" - Sarah, I wished you'd been there, I really did. It was less satisfying when the fuses blew, though by that time (2.20 am) even the hardcore (and the poor buggers staying at my house) were secretly hoping that they could just go home. The sherbert was nice too - but the best thing was that I ended up spiriting away Honey (get well soon big man!)'s very own tape tree fancy-CDR thingy, so I can listen to Kate Rusby in the comfort of my own home whenever I want... So there you have it. I am so chuffed it all worked, and I hope those of you who did come enjoyed it enough to come next time, and those that didn't (Hi Vic :)) are sufficiently jealous to pay a visit next time. Yay! I'm smiling :) manly hugs, Little Blonde DJ xxx *sadly this is not exactly true, much to Stevie Trousers' disappointment. We were thinking of milking Nick Dastoor, in fact I was getting quite steamed up at the thought, but in the end we just ripped off his hard work compiling obscure B&S lyrics. Ta Nick :) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: The Royal Sebastian family
by Jordi Trenzano i Vilar 14 Jun '99

14 Jun '99

Hi: Some people on the spanish telly are saying that the supposed girlfriend to prince Felipe has "Sebastian" as surname. A hidden blow to my republican ideas. Or free advertising for our guys, you never know. Oh, thanks to mr. Miller for his free advertising, even though thereŽs still a long way between me and the fame. Maybe because that Felipe has the birthday date at the january 30th, the same as me. Before I forgot it, I have to request for PiezoEl ectric, who sent me an e-mail at my toher adress two days ago. Please, sent it again, because my e-mail server deleted it before I read it. The pic that Mr.Miller mentioned on his last post isnŽt mine, so I canŽt scan it and send it to the sinister page at the moment, because I donŽt have the authorŽs permission. However, I sent it to Lesley Jo and I donŽt know if she got it. Did uou ?, please, let me know....

Sinister: first dc b&s picnic - a few thoughts
by lost madflowr 14 Jun '99

14 Jun '99

first off i would like to thank christa for organizing the whole shebang! lot 9 was quite divine. really we were right next to the creek. and the bugs came round to the picnic too. that was the least pleasant thing about it. i am guessing that a total of 20 ppl came and left. maybe more maybe less. i am bad at guessing. in preparation for the picnic, victor and i ran around wal- mart looking for picnic stuff. we went away with a tablecloth, a HUGE jar of moby dill pickles for $2.50, all sorts of junk that causes teeth to rot, etc. the morning arrived too soon and vic had to go to mars music to get some guitar strings. so we went and i bought a glow in the dark guitar pick. my guitar was stolen? or something last year. honestly i cannot remember what happened to it. in any case...onwards to the picnic. victor and i followed the directions and voila...blocked to traffic on weekends. i was like 'um?' and then some jerkypants behind me started honking cosi didn't know what to do...so i shook the directions in the air and started driving again. when we saw the sign for golf course and then picnic lots 1-10 or whatnot, i drove that way. and it put us on the right course. the crazy horn honker was behind me though and i was so freaked out that they were a sinister member. vic thought it looked like i was flicking them off but i only shook the piece of paper. in any case passed lots 1-8 and the car was still on my tail so i was freaking out. but thank goodness...they passed lot #9 and went on to lot#10 or maybe they were planning on beating me up but saw the swarm of menacing sinisterites and drove on past. eep. out of the car. one foot at a time. are you sinister? yay. fun! everyone was just lovely. really! the strange thing was that i had never seen any of these people before...and i was assuming that since it was a local meet up that i would have seen a few familiar faces that perhaps i had never been formally introed to...well i suppose there was one. the pretty asian girl. i think she was wearing orange. i can't remember. cute boys. cute girls. cute bugs [not really]. mean bugs. daddy long legs aplenty crawling all over. one on my chest. argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! everyone brought food [except for eran hehe] and it was divine. i have forgotten just about everyone's names. i feel so bad. oh geez michael...christa...i am so evil. help me out someone. when i get the multiple intro i tend to forget almost everyone's names. we played croquet. and i was the first to be poison but then i was the first out. oh well. i know that michael got some shots of that. anyways...we must have another soon. looper, anyone?!? if anyone needs a place to stay i might be able to house people for a bit. oh geez i am at a loss for words. and mighty tired. since it is almost 1 and i work at 10 am. grr.eat. please let us picnic again and take more pictures of one another. hmm i didn't notice any internet turned real snogs? hmm maybe i am just blind as a bat. perhaps. oh geez kissing book are excellent. what do the local dc/va/md/philly whatever ppl think of starting a little mailing list of our own? like on listbot or something? or maybe something else? hmm some way not to clog sinister. cos once i was flamed by someone in england cos i posted about a meet up in the states. and since then i've been scared to post. evol, madflowr i'd write back to me 'cos i'm a baby baby girl. _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

Re: Sinister: Young, Witty, and Perplexed

I've been to Sexy Blake Hamilton's website, and let me tell you, it took some work getting there. Oh sure, it's Under Construction, but I'm the daring sort of guy who climbs fences to get to areas I shouldn't be in. I'm also the sort of guy who drank black paint and then feigned a seizure and frothed nasty black oozing things to disturb my family. Wait! where are you all going? what i was saying was, Sexy Blake's website is totally fucking rad. I demand you all go there right now. Good luck finding it though; the searches I did turned up lots of pages about fishing. and fission. oh, fine, the address is right here: http://members.tripod.com/nucleartrout/.htm David Moore revealed himself to be a strong and sensitive fellow when he said: <<Include Supermum in your prayers tonight because I think she's quite ill again at the moment. 1,000+ best wishes should make a difference, shouldn't they?>> Hear hear. It makes me sad to hear that Listmummy is sprawled on the divan with a cold compress on her eyes. She puts up with scads of annoyance from us, and we don't do a damn thing for her benefit. Perhaps i should send a card? Mr Moore continued what the New York Times called "a post good enough to be an award winning screenplay involving Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan", writing: << I can't see that All Tomorrow's Parties will have a moment comparable to that when Struan sang "All my friends are on their holidays" and added "that's you" with a shy smile, to a swell of applause. I nearly filled up.>> I must agree; i can just picture it now. The tape i have of Bowlie captures his voice quite well; if only i had gone! I'm still regretful.... Robert "australian for beer" Foster came up with what I think would be an amazing title for an album: <<White Man's Albatross>> I haven't heard anything that funny since I sniffed glue and went to a political convention. Mercy. He also put me in my place with a well aimed Judo Chop. Apparantly my little jibe about kilometres in the UK was about as funny as Paris burning, since I'm told that they have miles in the UK too. Ooops. I could have sworn the signs read otherwise, but then again, i was drinking a good bit of the time, so you never really know, now do you? Belle and Sebastian Content: Do lots of animals seem to like Glaswegian indiepop? I know the cat seems to like the gentle waves and a few b&s songs. My only excuse for the spastic nature of this email is that i'm really tired.

Sinister: i guess nobody likes oral stimulation, woo anyways!
by Blake E Hamilton 14 Jun '99

14 Jun '99

Dear big group of twees, well after my hugely self indulgent post, there seemed to be a few responses, after all. dear molly found my nuclear trout site, so i'm apologizing publicly to her, for it's not really all that quite yet. oh dear, is seems that i got another vote in the list crush, and now gen wesley is on top of me. *oh dear* i wonder how that happened. and stu, i think that my submission of Peter Townshend for the list crush was novel enough, you didn't need to put him at the very top of the reject list. how disheartening. pete will remember that. cheers to everyone who told me to buy godspeed you black emperor. definitely one of the best cds i've bought recently, apart from my first elliott smith and nick drake experiences. oh and i can't forget the magnetic fields, who won my 'I want a new cd' contest. definitely top shite. ok i think i want to make a b&s zine, strictly related to our friends. it doesn't necessarily need to be literally about stu and bel, but it could use their names, or a lyric, or something. i'll take poetry, fiction, anything, just send it my way, and if i get any, we'll have a big NUCLEAR TROUT opening sometime in the near future when you all can finally see my glimmering visage (as jygsaw dave told me). oh i'm sure you'll all swoon. or maybe you'll laugh. i'm only 18, im not supposed to know who i really am, right? kisses blake -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- "Fuck!" - Jarvis Cocker +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
