That's too much to remember after 3 pints at lunchtime. I nearly lamped the bastard in Solo after he clearly moved his hands in that way which suggested he was going to fold...that's FOLD the inlay slip in two.

Sinister: some notes on the weather fields
by spendthrift 11 Aug '98

11 Aug '98

Wesley couldn't even play the guitar when he started, much less write a song. Sure he was handsome, but the girls always found a way to turn him down. By the time he put the finishing touches to the Indian Burns, it was suddenly clear he had, quite by accident, become a master of catchy hooks, subtle phrasing, and tense, self-lacerating lyrics. How had he gotten there? Many evenings of jangly strummed guitar, propping the guitar against his bent knee, for fear the strap would exacerbate his back condition. He credits the History Channel, the many proprietors of free access internet porn groups, and curry, in its myriad forms, for shaping his unique vision of corruption, decay, brutality, and no solace. "A boot in the face of mankind forever," is the mantra he picked up from Orwell. Gavin was a veteran of single parenthood and the early 80's punk rock scene: he had the hairline to prove it. After replacing Thurston Moore on guitar for often shirtless linguist and Noam Chomsky-opponent Michael Bord's band Artless, he toured the United States and Europe countless times, scoring a top 100 hit in Norway before he was through. He lives in a large creaky storage building cluttered with the mindless junk of a now-expired neo-Nazi architect and his gay Buddhist son. For the meantime, he has turned to criticism in an attempt to make others pay for his thwarted creative genius. Our protagonists met under the not-so-benevolent gaze of a revisionist Marxist philosopher and crazed sex fiend who shall remain nameless. Wesley was arrogant and dictatorial since the day he was born. Humility and submission were pounded into him every day of his blighted youth, to no avail. Observe how he prances about the stage. Witness, if you dare, the dreaded karate dance. The Weather Fields were raised in an atmosphere of indifference and spite. All their casual greatness as pop songwriters, performers, and instrumentalists seems to come as an afterthought. It serves to prove the injustice of life on this planet. It would be difficult to imagine two more unworthy conduits of musical greatness, and yet there they are: sending jolts of current into the collective consciousness that can awaken us and spur us to reach for our better selves. " Some men are born mediocre, other men achieve mediocrity, still others have mediocrity thrust upon them." -Joseph Heller +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: like i was there

Ah, it nearly makes me wispy eyed to see the year pass with the changing of my email addresses. When I first subscribed last September, my email account was hintzm(a)regents.ac.uk. Since January I have been subscribed as the cryptically named PKHINTZ(a)aol.com. Now my email account is Mphintz(a)aol.com. I am still the same as when I was PK, and I love you all as much. I noticed that photos from the Glasgow picnic have been put up on the People Page--would anyone like to comment on who is in each photo or what was happening in each? I have to live my picnics vicariously since the NYCers can never seem to get together. I think I saw a Keith in one photo; of course, he was doing the Keith type of things that won him the highest number of list crushes (i.e. ruling). Or he was drinking--I am not sure I can tell the difference.
