Sinister: Vote for me, you know you want to...

Well the list crush site seems to be running along smoothly enough. But be warned, if I have any evidence of people cheating by voting for themselves lots of times they'll be removed from the available list of people to vote for. Then again, I might just delete everyone who's ahead of me (which was, erm, everyone last time I looked :-( ). I thought I should share with you; the student hostel I'm living in at the moment now has a musical Christmas tree at the entrance. It plays lots of Christmas songs over and over again in the style of one of those crap musical greetings cards. And the lights flash in time with the music as well. How tacky is that? And how irritating is it going to get by the end of next week? Got to rush off, but before I go can I just say that 'Fucks in teh Snow' is the best mishearing yet - has that bit of the Sinister site been updated yet?

(What?) GO HOME. OK.... : ) you mean Pixies in some cartoon tv, yes? for a moment i thought it's the little pixies in the woods, calling my name. hence me promptly concluded that Fluffy must have been socializing with some welsh magicmushroom band. what kind of dog is Andalucian? anyhow i like this sentence, maybe i should put it as my signature from now on. in honour of Fluffy the Pixie. incidentally, my apologies to you and everyone i had the permission to take photo of. i thought i sent them all out ages ago, but my thought was not what really happened. meanwhile, a few of the photo is in the safe hand of Linda so it will definitely be handled much more effectively. my computer just came back last week, to my agony because everything in my old computer is gone. i no longer have anyone address. therefore, friends and relatives, would you be so kind as to email me again. andre, ed, tim (still not back?!), orange purple silver chalotte (that's fun competition : ), and big stu. (oh that crush thing! Thank you for the three votes for me, i'm in tears with grattitute. own up and thou shall be rewarded. sorry, i'm trying very hard to catch up. only 750 mails to go!) now i'm grinning very widely listening to our own sinister boy Christopher A. Leonard (clapping my hand very loudly) he's made a record! Robin Williamson should be proud. well, actually i only heard a few Incredible String Band songs, from Chris himself. never heard old songs much, apart from those golden oldies on 'Soft FM' 'Smooth FM' 'Love FM' radio we have here. how they bore me to infinity. but now, Thanks to mr.symmington who played wonderful songs back at the b&s shows and Tag who made me a wonderful tape, my eyes have been slightly openned to the mother of all swinging things-the 60's. how could i live this long without it, ashamed. it's been winter in Thailand this last week. cool weather is very festive i think. you can't turn a corner without falling into a beer garden. i feel like i'm on holiday already eventhough i still have to go to work. enjoy your winter everyone. love, I am Oon, chien andalucia +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Pavlovs dog?
by Vanessa R. Siegl 01 Dec '98

01 Dec '98

>listening to music whilest going through such negative emotions >(like a break up) then over time the music will act as a stimuli to >those negative emotions, like pavlov's dogs. I have heard that too but for me this has never been true. I always or at least during the past few years listened to music I liked when I was miserable ..and so far there hasn't been any negative feelings attached to any song, thaknfully ... But music does help ... Anyway I guess it is different for everyone so don't take my word for it. love vanxxx _____________________________________________________ Forgive me for I have not sinned csaa7950(a)uibk.ac.at _gapminder(a)yahoo.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: January Select magazine
by JJ 01 Dec '98

01 Dec '98

Sinisteroids Nice advert, Jeepster, right at the back kids in case you want to look at it in a shop. Jovial inclusion of Tigermilk too. A precursor to something? Who can say, or dare to dream. But in the mag: reviews of the new EP and the Acid House album, the reviewer highlights 'Slow Graffiti' in the film soundtrack as being "top of the tree" and "superb by their own recent standards". Quite correct. As listeners will know, at exactly 2 minutes into the song it reaches perfection. They like the EP too. You can read about it for yourselves, but they do say that 'The Gate' is "an Isobel Campbell song that doesn't quite match her 'Is it Wicked Not To care'".. they're right, I'm sorry to say I don't like The Gate at all. Although you can sing 'Golden Green' by the Wonder Stuff to the chorus though. Sort of.

Re: Sinister: Narnia

hiya, i too adored the narnia chronicles...especially 'the lion the witch and the wardrobe.' 'twas my favorite book growing up and is still listed somewhere in my top twenty novels of all time. and speaking of the wonderworks thing...i just watched it a few weeks ago on pbs. i must say...it really freaked me out. i'm not much into talking lions, i guess. does everyone know that c.s. lewis was some kind of religious freak, and that there are correlations between all of the characters and goings-on in the narnia books to people and events that take place in the bible?

Sinister: List-erine Kisses
by JonnyKat＠aol.com 01 Dec '98

01 Dec '98

Hello my sweet baboons, Imagine my surprise when I signed on this morning to discover that I was in first place on the list crush page with eight votes. Now imagine my confusion to realize that even as I write this, it just went up to nine. What kind of crazy script is this? Has someone started a secret letter-writing campaign to vote me into this dubious position, only to create a puppet regime? Where were you all the last time? Should I join the sex list? Oh, it's all so embarrassing. : ) On to more interesting matters: I was at my friends house this weekend (Marc and Ian, they are identical twins) in my wonderous neighborhood of Brooklyn. They aren't on this list, since they don't even own a computer. So, I got to chatting with a stranger there from London, a lovely fellow named Will, and he said, "Are you Jonny Kat from the Sinister list?" and I replied suspiciously, "That depends on what you mean by Sinister List." Anyway, we went on to become very friendly (no, not like THAT) and I just want to thank Honey (and all of you popkidz) for creating such a magical universe here. It's better than time travel, really. And it's almost as good as Twizzlers: The World's Most Perfect Food. Stevie Trousers announced: "TOMORROW: I BLOW THE LID ON THE SHADOWY CARTEL WHO RUN POP" Is it getting warm in here? I have to go now. Kiss on the lips, Jonny +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
