Sinister: Alice L
by Neil Dewhurst 24 Nov '98

24 Nov '98

Lady penelope (in the middle of a very long message) wrote... the catchers have a new album out...i had forgotten they existed because the last time i saw them they supported a house at the garage in london - 1994 - i guess i had a crush on alice lemon. she had enormous boobs i remember. and a too-small top. saw the new album in rough trade the other day and nearly fell over. i will purchase when i hear something about it I knew it was out, but it seems to be a UFO album, like The Frank and Walters' Grand Parade that rarely appears in densely populated areas, preferring the anonymity of provincial towns. I only saw one review, which gave a pretty average rating, although it was the NME I think, and what does that scally-rag know about anything? I have to recommend the "shifting" e.p for the superb "Christina" (those who have received my tape tree tape will know it), and a lovely song called Summer's nearly over. Oh look, someone else has written... Oh, oh, oh. I've been dying to recommend this album for the past two weeks...The lead singer is male with a sort of um... irish i guess, kind of voice (does that make sense? he says "aout" for "out" hehe) and there is also a female who does some vocals But it's not going to stop me... I remember Alice Lemon's 'boobs' (oh, really!) as well, from when I saw them playing upstairs at the Garage. I could've sworn she kept looking at me and smiling...and my feet hurt from standing on tip-toes all the way through the gig. Can't remember why. I guess I was entranced by the fact that the Alice Lemon on the cover of Mute looked nothing like the Alice Lemon in a short shiny dress on stage in Islington. (stop this crassness now!) Incidentally, support that night came from another irish combo by the name of erm, I forget, except that there were three of them, the lead singer was too thin, their single was called I am the Supergrass or something like that, they appeared on Jools Holland just after I'd been to see them (no coincidence methinks) and I saw a programme about them on TARA (which I only watch for re-runs of the 1990 world cup as a rule) Sorry to continue with all this rampant male hormonal rutting, but I have to point out (because it's just occurred to me for the first time in ages) that I was utterly entranced by the sight of Juliana Hatfield clutching a guitar some years back. Lovely.

Sinister: concentric circles
by Burt Reynolds 24 Nov '98

24 Nov '98

I was re-reading The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon last night when I came upon the following paragraph. It reminded me of this list and all the friendships we've all made through it whether real or dreamt. "In Golden Gate Park she came on a circle of children in their nightclothes, who told her they were dreaming the gathering. But that the dream was really no different from being awake, because in the mornings when they got up they felt tired, as if they'd been up most of the night. When their mothers thought they were out playing they were really curled up in cupboards of neighbors' houses, in platforms up in trees, in secretly-hollowed nests inside hedges, sleeping, making up for these hours. The night was empty of all the terror for them, they had inside their circle an imaginary fire, and needed nothing but their own unpenetrated sense of community."

FW: Sinister: tongue kissing
by Arcos, Maria 24 Nov '98

-----Original Message----- From: Arcos, Maria Sent: Tuesday, November 24, 1998 10:04 AM To: 'sinister(a)majordomo.net' Subject: RE: Sinister: tongue kissing I completely agree with Dramatis. If you ask most people kissing *is* cheating. Jessica, if you are still in doubt, why don't you ask Ahren's girlfriend. I'm sure she could enlighten you on the finer details. You are exactly the kind of girl (I don't say woman cuz obviously you are not mature enough) other women have to look out for. So enjoy your little ride-it won't last! -----Original Message----- From: Dramatis Personae [mailto:tragedienne@yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 24, 1998 9:19 AM To: sinister(a)majordomo.net Subject: Re: Sinister: tongue kissing Jessica wrote: "okay, so i got up all my nerve and kissed ahren in the stockroom. tongue and everything, and a little groping." Normally, I would say "You go girl!!", but Ahren's got a girlfriend, so this makes the two of you partners in mischief. If Ahren were my man, oh the two of you would get a swift ass-whooping! Aren't there plenty of single men to seduce? God, some women just have no respect for other women's property! _________________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: my last post today - i swear
by gateau du wizz 24 Nov '98

24 Nov '98

i just remembered my dream from last night! finally! okay...something was not quite right as in dreams is often the case....some chick showed up at my door and she looked all pasty and gothy but was wearing skimpy undergarments and not much else. ahem. so she said she was someone from the sinister list (can't remember who) and could i allow her inside. so i said yes. and inside she came. the door was closed and she immedaitely went for my flatmate G's jugular and i was really pissed off with her coz of trhe mess and G was dead and stuff. i then remembered that i had been receiving strange emails from someone on the list who looked exactly like this scantily clad vampish vixen staring at me all bloody. she had contacted me to tell me how she had a huge tooth the size of a pelvis removed from under her tongue in an epic 5 day surgery fest...upon removal this tooth which did indeed resemble two halves of a pelvis was placed in a jam jar (remember i was dreaming). the jam jar containing the odd tooth suddenly was resting on the coffee table. french kissing in the usa woke me up. isn't that a fucked up dream to have? _________________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Re: Sinister: morality police
by Kung Fu Faker 24 Nov '98

hey gorgeous (yes you!), now i'm just confounded, with all the negative things you described about Ahren--he was still lust/kiss worthy? (but looking back on the horrible men i fancied in the past, i should best keep my mouth shut.) i suppose since the relationship was so twisted and demented in the first place, you probably didn't too much more harm. oh, my friends and i have concluded that record store employees are some of the most crushable individuals. we've all had mini-infatuations on at least one guy from nearly every downtown NYC music retail establishment. a while back, I was developing a zine and the first issue's theme was supposed to be crushes, but it all fell through cos my anticipated contributors all flaked out. Of course, now I'm totally inspired to get it started again--I currently have two victims for my man-chasing madness! smooches, a jessica wrote: i've been getting generally good reaction to the ahren kiss, except for one extremely moral soul who threatened me with an ass-whupping and pointed out that ahren has a girlfriend. true, true, but i will explain: he broke up with her about a month ago because she's too clingy and never goes out and is an all-around wet blanket. well, she kept calling him and sobbing and showing up at his house begging him to take her back, that if he took her back that she would be different, blahblah. ahren just wanted to stop her from being so darn obsessive, and he did still want to sleep with her (ah, here's the catch), so he's now going out with her again and actually sees less of her than when they weren't together, which suits him just fine. and it's common knowledge that he's just with her for sex and nothing else. i would like to point out that ahren is going to university in san diego next year and is leaving in june, so this coupled with several other factors (his spinelessness, for one) would make it difficult to have a real relationship. which i don't want anyways. yeesh, i just feel that i need to kiss him. that's it, and believe me, i wouldn't have done it if he had a girlfriend in every sense of the word, but he doesn't...he just has a girltoy, which yes, is a little like what i'm doing, but at least i'm not begging to be called a girlfriend. so hopefully this will allay the fears of those of you who have decided that i'm some sort of homewrecker. and thanks to those of you who are standing on the sidelines with pompoms and little skirts. The squat was a difficult position that most yoga teachers have problems assuming, but the disenfranchised in all societies do it with ease. -Paul Beatty ____________________________________________________________________ Get free e-mail and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1 +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
