*---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---* Hi peeps, Could any kind soul please please tell me the way to the Marcus Garvey Centre on Saturday? (or at any time come to think of it). Because we haven't a clue how to get there, and I guess it's quite important for the whole gig-going experience. We're coming from the south, if that makes a difference. Thanks ever so! love and hugs, Hannahxxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: US SoundScan Position
by Leo Hernandez 30 Aug '98

30 Aug '98

Hey, I don't think anyone has mentioned this...TBWTAS has debuted on the US SoundScan Album Charts at 239! Break out the bubbly! The "little" indie store I frequent can't keep a copy in-stock. Uncle Sam's in Miami/Ft. Lauderdale is becoming quite large, actually. Erp, well, I can't exactly say that I feel sorry for Best Buy and Blockbuster Music. They'll get theirs soon...

Sinister: ESP
by James 30 Aug '98

30 Aug '98

*---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---* "Anyway, while I'm on the subject, is anyone on the list telepathic? Statistically, there must be some. It's hard to tell. I used to think that everyone who wore navy-blue was telepathic, 'til I got some navy-blue socks, and I realised that I was wrong." sometimes I'm a wee bit psychic. it's not exactly telepathy, and it's nothing to be relied upon, but it's better than nothing. it's like a trembling, timid runt of a sixth sense, that can't quite decide on how and when to manifest itself. that doesn't help you much does it? I do wear blue quite a lot.

30 Aug '98

*---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---* To any one listening in the crown jewel of the southeatern united states. It is becoming sort of appartent to me that there might actually be people in this pleasent but culturaly devoid city that are actually looking forward the coming of that band from over in the uk that nobody I know ever heard of and that makes me feel kind of happy because i dont think i can bare another 99x big day out or any other similar stuff so I hope to see you all in athens and my entire life will be changed and maybe after its all over ill will be ready to die having figured out that the world is a wonderful place and one more thing (comma) if there are any cute girls who need a date to go over to athens Id like to hear from you because if I hear one more girl tell me how good the barenaked ladies and the dave matthews band are im going to screem, not that theres anything wrong with that. And I drive a lexus (haha that was a joke). I have a 12 speed, Im leaving 2 days early (another joke if you couldnt tell) So everyone in atlanta guys and girls alike email me and tell me some shit, and put some kind of obvious re- line so i dont dump you with all the porn and sinister stuff that i dont have time to read. also e-mail me so i know im sending this to the right place.

Sinister: mice
by Heinitz 30 Aug '98

30 Aug '98

*---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---* I was sleeping, when I heard it first... an intermittant, high pitched beep like an alarm clock, but it wasn't my alarm clock, and it was coming from the kitchen. When it didn't seem to be stopping I reluctantly pulled my mind out of bed and opened the door. The first signs were good - the kitchen floor wasn't covered in feathers - but when I turned the light on it was reflected in the guilty eyes of the littlest cat, who paused for a moment, caught mid-catch. She had a mouse, which was emitting the beeps. The cat threw the mouse up in the air one more time, defiantly, but when I approached she seized it and fled. I turned the light out and went back to bed. it was nearly five o clock. Later, in more reasonable, daytime hours, I and my small friend were distracted from our scone-making by the dog, who was barking at something in the garden. It was the mouse. For reasons known only to herself, the littlest cat had abandoned it, and although it seemed to be barely hurt, it was too shocked by the whole experience to make a proper getaway. I put it in a box, then moved it to a bucket, and then an empty hamster cage. Satisfied that I had done all I could, the only thing left was the name (all things which live in the house must have names). I asked my friend, who looked at it for a while, and then gravely decided on "Frog". I decided not to argue - the reasoning processes of three-year olds are best left alone. So, Frog the mouse is now residing in my bedroom. I did some initial research on mice to find out what to feed him, but the books would only help me in determining his type (Frog is a house-mouse). I have given him some hamster food and a malteser. He seems unimpressed. Does anybody know what mice eat?

Sinister: 'travel is to spread yourself all over the world'
by Amanda Bergman 30 Aug '98

30 Aug '98

*---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---* and in a few hours, i will be spreading myself all over england. well, not all over. just the south, for now. mainly the sunny (?) coastal towns of portsmouth and brighton, and then london for the gig on the 7th. i look forward to seeing everyone there! fitting, i suppose, that at the same time as the year anniversary of the list is upon us, i am making my half-year long excursion to the UK. the b&s list has been a big part of what helped me make the decision to take this trip. in fact, this list has been a big part of my life the past year (in various incarnations) and though i sometimes get the impression that it's at the same time a horribly pathetic thing and a remarkably wonderful thing, i'm nontheless glad it's worked out that way. thanks to honeypaul especially, for making this global collective possible. counting the hours (16) till she will be reunited with her list crush, Amanda x x ------------ "If you are good at anything, that is beauty." --from _Taxi Driver Wisdom_ visit *Red Roses for Me* fanzine (and records for sale) http://surf.to/redroses ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Girl on a bicycle
by susannah 30 Aug '98

30 Aug '98

*---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---* Yes, I have decided to purchase a bike. I have decided that the time I fell off the tramps bike after the picnic and banged my head was just a blip in my cycling career. Anyhow I demonstrated my roadworthiness to everyone after the Salako thing by taking my turn to cycle to the end of the road and back on this bicycle someone had left for our entertainment. I managed not to put my feet on the ground, and was timed by steady Mike's stopwatch, coming in at an impressive 1 minute 5 seconds. I was beaten into second place only by Trousers because of his mean, streamlined aerodynamic shirt. Which you unfortunately can't see his nipples in, although it is rather tight. Like a psychadelic Tour de France yellow jersey. Only not yellow. Anyway I have bought a bicycle because people fancy you more on a bike. No, they do! It gives you a certain something, makes you look sort of bookish and interesting, a cycling free-spirit. I found this contraption in Loot for £20, so anticipating a bargain as usual, I bought it. Only the chain came off on my way back, half way down Stoke Newington high street and sent me carreeing into a lady with a pram on a zebra crossing. But I survived. The mother and baby however are receiving vital lifesaving surgery at Guy's. No, but I am telling the truth about the chain, actually the gears don't work either. It's a heap of shit, but at least it won't get nicked. But my dilemma is whether to helmet, or not to helmet. See, I have this idea that a helmet makes you look like a spoon, but I reckon if you go the whole hog and wear a smog mask too you look like a cool urban warrior type and can then pull at 'Reclaim the Streets!' and save trees too. Bike to the future!
