by Mick McMick 21 Nov '98

21 Nov '98

Hello I can't find my person to send stuff too from the tape tree. His name is Sanders Hall, and his old e-mail <noctum(a)cyberpassport.com> isn't working. Help! Find him! Also, am I like the only one who isn't surprised that Carmen is the punk rock queen? Sample conversation: A: "I hate the internet, it's evil, the government is out to get us" B: "Oh. What sort of music do you like" A: "I listen exclusively to polka, of course" B: "Natch" What's wrong with this picture?

Sinister: Introductions all around
by Geoffrey Todd Culbertson-Womack 20 Nov '98

20 Nov '98

Dear Sinister-pals, I'll keep this brief. I've been lurking about this list now for quite a while but finally feel motivated to say 'Hello.' Lefty? Yes. List crushes? Not so much. Postmodernism? Pretty okay by me. And plenty more where that came from. That's great for now, so 'goodbye.' Geoffrey Todd PS. Thanks to Andrew Dean for taping what he did many many months ago, I should've sent on an appropriate thank you note ages ago. ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: A wee story...
by Peter Brittain 20 Nov '98

20 Nov '98

A person I know at school told me the other day that he was out shopping and went into a record store, there, sitting under B for Belle and Sebastian, was believe it or not, a single copy of Tigermilk, facing outwards for the world to see. Priced at 13.99 (uk pounds) It seemed to good to be true, unfortunately right as he approached it from a small distance, a woman rushed up exclaimed "yeessss!" and went and paid for it. Needless to say he wasn't very happy, and complained to her that he was just about to buy it, but she cackled and scurried off to wherever she came from. The end. (And it's not a happy ending) Grrr. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Evan Dando at B&S in NYC
by Kung Fu Faker 20 Nov '98

20 Nov '98

Did anyone else read this in the Intelligencer column of the 11/23 issue of New York Magazine? I thought it was mildly amusing. EVAN DANDO: HOT (LEMON) HEAD It may have been a Belle & Sebastian concert, but Evan Dando, the hunky lead singer of the Lemonheads, took center stage at the Supper Club earlier this month. According to witnesses, the angst-ridden rocker threw his beer in the face of an acquaintance who'd simply said hello. The victim, a British sound engineer for rival pop bands like Blur, said, "I've met him twenty times, and it's always the same old shit." Dando skulked back later to mumble an apology. Maybe it's less a case of rock-star rowdiness than of the blues: Dando's recently been linked with Kate Moss, who checked herself into an English clinic for "nervous exhaustion" last week. Dando could not be reached for comment. 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".

Sinister: You stuttered like a kaleidoscope
by Corpora Arenacea 20 Nov '98

20 Nov '98

I used =laugh= at my roommate for spending 'til 3 a.m. in the computer center. Well, I was also laughing because he was short and funny-looking and acted -exactly- like the Rain Man. I was also laughing because his name was Donkers Hoddlesnoot. But but. I ++laughed++ when he told me he was going down to Tennesee to visit a girl he had met, whom I saw on an exchanged videotape, sitting in her bunker-like fluorescently-lit dorm room. I felt a little bad when he came back from Tennesee smut-free.I mean, he was the Rain Man, after all. Then I went and opened an e-mail account. Now here I am planning a trip to England and hoping just hoping that I'll get to meet people I've never seen. Now I don't know what I'll do if I don't. More like I don't if I'll go if I don't. I have dreams that star people whom I ostensibly know but in dreams they are just faceless composites of traits that I've chosen for them. I have crushes on these people. I spend mornings in a library I despise so as to communicate with people who don't even know my name, nor do I want to give it to them. I wear sickeningly ugly glasses rather than contacts for most of the day because I no longer care what I look like. I ignore the sniggering of the real-live humyns around me who call me funny names for having my head in a computer all day. Oh well, they suck anyhow but that used to really bother me. I'd never craved anonymity until I realized I could be anyone at all. The beauty and tragedy of the internet is the mutability of its characters. They can be (and are), really, anything you want them to be. If you ever had self-confidence, however illusory, the internet will destroy it. The internet gives you illusory friends and destroys the time you spend with real ones. Someday soon people will write about the internet being the loneliest ghost town of broken dreams and dashed hopes, right before Yahoo stock slides right into the dumper. A lonely highway and a long stem rant indeed. P.S. just because you laugh at short, funny-looking people doesn't mean you aren't short and funny-looking yourself. Oh, and I still love you all. ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
