Sinister: we got beat up just for holding hands
by Corpora Arenacea 24 Nov '98

24 Nov '98

I love pop-punk. >Why is there a social stigma attatched to paying with things in change? Because that's what the homeless people do when they've accumulated enough change to buy something. I know, I've been.... well, actually, I just played bagpipes on the street for six or seven minutes and accrued enough wampum for a bucket of the Colonel's extra-spicy chicken but they told me to "get the fuck out of here, go bug someone else, bum". >(peaches music and video) What a great idea for a store! Sort of like those 'bar/laundromat' or 'fish-n-chips' places..... how about the 'punk/hippy internet cafe/gas chamber'? >why can't i be happy being alone, and why isn't that okay with >everyone else? not everyone is meant for someone. What I learned is that if you want to be happy being alone, everybody else will be =perfectly= happy with that decision. Like me, say. Har har. Ouchie. On a brighter note: Health Tip: Since quitting smoking a month ago I can now hit all of Monica Queen's notes on LLPJ with full wide-swing-vibrato without sounding like boozy Judy Garland! Skippee! Can't understand how anyone can hate the Ramones. They're just one of those things that remind me of why it's -still- great to be alive after you discover that even your clone has a bigger penis than you. My dog loves them so much and she doesn't even like Belle and Sebastian though that could be because she's getting hard of hearing. Now I wanna sniff some poo, -Moussetaffa And I want to be a bird, when I grow up. ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

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: "Liverpool and ______"
by WeeJay 24 Nov '98

24 Nov '98

Ah, sinisterines... again you are graced by my presence. First of all Vanessa said...: > I am not into any harder stuff especially techno freaks me out ... > *sorry* Ah, fair enough... You'll all be surprised (?) to hear that I went to a jungle club last monday. Don't think I will again though, not that it was bad but we've discovered a place that sells whisky & coke for 50p and plays mogwai, DOTR and, yes, B&S - yesterday 'A Summer Wasting' and 'Le Pastie...' I could go tonight as drinks are 30p (!) from 9 till 10 but I'm so tired and I've got a screening 9am tomorrow. Various people were talking about their life dissapointingly not being like a film... Well my life is a film of it's own and I quite like it but it had better go somewhere soon or I'll start to get bored. I don't know about living in an eighties american film though (we all saw 'cocktail' after the film last night. Hmmmmn). I'd rather live in 'The Beiderbecke Affair' - that would be SO good. Irish bands! No-one's mentioned the Whipping Boy or Tunic yet (although Tunic are N.Ireland so that's cheating...). Robert Fisk? Don't believe this man - it's nothing particularly intersting apart from a nice picture of lovely lauren. Sad that the underwear trea didn't happen but hey, if you want you could send it all to the Jeepster mail order address and David could redistribute it with your 'Study at Stow' t-shirts. Just a thought. Anna J said > Hi people, > I thought I'd let you all know about this pretty great, but slightly > peculiar B&S concert I went to last night as I was profoundly asleep in my > freshly laundered sheets. > They were playing in this old gym hall in a school not far away from here, > and the room itself was pretty interesting, it was round and had lots of > lockers in the middle so the audience had to stand around them.

Then they started and even the B&S songs (they started out with "Le > Pastie...") sounded like strange copies of Massive Attack. Imagine that > please. After five or so songs they all went off stage for half-time as > they called it and most of the audience left. Pretty soon, only a few > people were left and I discovered that Sarah Martin wasn't on stage and I > got all worried and someone else was missing too (I can't remember if it > was Mick Cooke or Stevie Jackson), but this old man standing next to me > told me it was ok because they were on holiday in Trinidad & Tobago and > that there was a rumour that they were smuggling Scottish toys into the > country. Then after the show Isobel jumped off stage and ran around hugging > all the people who were still there, because she was so happy that we'd > stayed till the end. Now, who wouldn't if B&S were doing Massive > Attack-covers??? Also there's something you should all know about Isobel, > after a while she took her plastic mask off and it turns out she's actually > 70 years old. Pretty clever mask if you ask me. > Dreams really are terribly enlightening. Now I wonder if B&S are popular in > Trinidad & Tobago? This isn't fair! Why don't I have dreams that good? Humph. And finally, Paul Laird said: 'I told my girlfriend to kiss me where it smells, - so she took me to Dundee!' Which I'm sure was about Widnes last time I heard it. Hey! tenuous B&S link! Cool!

Sinister: P. Parrot would like to apologise for her clumsiness
by Mark Casarotto 24 Nov '98

24 Nov '98

Well, in my ignorance, you're going to get the beginning of a poem which is extremely long, and if you like it it's very easy to track down. In England you can get it in the wee Penguin 60p books, which is where I am transcribing from after my ex very kindly enlightened me a couple of Xmases ago. Apologies to Archel, whose own poetry came a very close second, and Jennifer P-B, who requested something in my madrelingua, but I thought it would be a bit unfair. Anyway, here we go: "Song of Myself" I celebrate myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good as belongs to you. I loafe and invite my soul, I lean and loafe at my ease....observing a spear of summer grass. Houses and rooms are full of perfumes....the shelves are crowded with perfumes, I breathe the fragrance myself, and know it and like it, The distillation would intoxicate me also, but I shall not let it. The atmosphere is not a perfume....it has no taste of the distillation....it is odorless, It is for my mouth forever....I am in love with it, I will go to the bank by the wood and become undisguised and naked, I am mad for it to be in contact with me. The smoke of my own breath, Echoes, ripples, and buzzed whispers....loveroot, silkthread, crotch and vine, My respiration and inspiration....the beating of my heart....the passing of blood and air through my lungs, The sniff of green leaves and dry leaves, and of the shore and darkcolored sea-rocks, and of hay in the barn, The sound of the belched words of my voice....words loosed to the eddies of the wind, A few light kisses...a few embraces....a reaching around of arms, The play of shine and shade on the trees as the supple boughs wag, The delight alone or in the rush of the streets, or along the fields and hillsides, The feeling of health....the full-noon trill....the song of me rising from bed and meeting the sun. Have you reckoned a thousand acres much? Have you reckoned the earth much? Have you practiced so long to learn to read? Have you felt so proud to get the meaning of poems? Stop this day and night with me and you shall possess the origin of all poems, You shall possess the good of the earth and sun....there are millions of suns left, You shall no longer take things at second or third hand....nor look through the eyes of the dead....nor feed on the spectres in books, You shall not look through my eyes either, nor take things from me, You shall listen to all sides and filter them from yourself. So there you go. Nice, I think. It certainly makes me reflect. Anyway, other matters - for those who have read all the way down here, I urge you to go along to Padraic/Lady P's do on Sunday, as it should be dead smart, la'. As will trousers' Xmas extravaganza on the 18th. See you there? Mark xxxxx p.s. I would like, ooh, a cardigan for Christmas, thank you for asking. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: the future's orange - competition results
by Charlotte.Hall＠smlawpub.co.uk 24 Nov '98

24 Nov '98

I have been in agonies of indecision about the winning poem. There were so many brilliant entries, I wish I could have picked you all (sob). I hope to be able to post the rest to the list or put them up on the website with the permission of HoneyPaul. But in the end there can only be one winner in the category of "best poem" and here it is. (The winner of the "most comic" will be posted tomorrow.) Thanks to all who took part for your valiant entries. Charlotte I'M JUST A LAZYBONES As the sun rises, and stains the sky orange, I curl up in bed, dreaming smells of porridge And toast, and letters. Sunbeams skate over dusty air, their pure full lips kiss my eyes with arterial purple, So I turn away. Icicles drip, waters plummet and run the Race with leaves over the roof. It's the month Autumn's falling asleep But buzz, buzz - I'm waking up. I slide out from the bed into my silver Trousers. They make me smile, so I kill the Alarm, and get ready to pull the day into shape.

Sinister: Model 1 and Irish Bands
by Sam Devere 24 Nov '98

24 Nov '98

My inebriated friends and I were walking down a crowded street in Georgetown (DC) on Sunday night, contemplating whether to go see the Afghan Whigs or Men At Work (yes, THAT MAW), when this girl comes flying out of Starbucks and stops me and asks me if she can talk with me. After a few minutes, she reveals that she works for Model1 and they are looking for people. Meanwhile my friends, thoroughly disgusted and bemused that she picked me, are prancing around like cads. Anyway, I signed up for an interview, but forgot to ask her what happens at this thing? Has anyone interviewed with them, and if so could you please send me a personal reply. This is a perfect segue (sp?) into the next topic. 'Fashion Crisis Hits New York' is a funny little tune by a previously mentioned Frank and Walters. A couple of other tiny Irish bands of interest are A House and the Catchers. The former is somewhat political, very sarcastic/witty with in-your-face guitars and lyrics. The latter is more reminiscient of B&S, though some people may disagree. The Catchers are a somewhat jangly, mellow guitar outfit whose lyrics are abstract and melancholic.
