Sinister: NYC Picnic Ink Polaroids
by Mphintz＠aol.com 23 Sep '98

23 Sep '98

This is an odd one, isn't it? Brian and I both have rather unpleasant looks on our faces. We can, and often, smile, but not when this was taken. Brian is carrying his bag with cds, the boombox, a shopping bag and a large poster tube; I have my packback, a camera bag, a shopping bag, and another bag with an awkward box full of more posters. Brian is trying to look at his watch, but is afraid that he will drop something in the process. I had asked Brian how much longer was the walk to the East River Park. A mile and a half on a bus takes a long time, but walking with heavy bags takes a longer time. We took a taxi to the park. This is of Mick attacking a bicycle with a chinese yoyo. A squirrel had been dropping things on Lauren's head; Mick went to teach the squirrel a lesson with his yoyo. He wanted to remind the squirrel who controls the world. And as things happen, soon Mick tripped over backwards onto the bicycle. The squirrel continued on its squirelly ways. Mick bruised and was given both sympathy and sarcastic remarks. I think I may have some more, but they have not been "developed" yet. :-) Living and loving Matthew +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: The archives: Where the cool kids hang out
by Erin Lewis 23 Sep '98

23 Sep '98

Hey kids, I went to the archives and did something useful. You know what? It's a pretty fun place. While I was researching all the poetry parrots (to reduce renomination), I found poems going way back before I joined, and I even learned that Trousers once referred to himself as Stephen. Nothing like a little history lesson. I also found out that Jeepster has a neat-o magnetic poetry site at www.jeepster.co.uk/belleandsebastian/poetry/index.htm. Even if you haven't yet been nominated as Poetry Parrot, you can make your own poem, submit it, and become a celebrity! Anyway, the Monday Poem started way back in February, as far as I could tell. Contributors included Trousers (more than a few), Tim, Rob B, someone, Chris Leonard, and PJ Miller. Then the Monday Poem fizzled, until Charlotte resuscitated it in August. The most recent contributions (in order, and where you can find them) have been by: Charlotte..... 1998-month-08/0039.html PJ Miller..... 1998-month-08/0339.html Oon........... 1998-month-08/0425.html Genevieve..... 1998-month-08/0686.html Espadrille.... 1998-month-09/0011.html Debbie........ 1998-month-09/0203.html David Barker.. 1998-month-09/0467.html Megan......... 1998-month-09/0902.html Ronan......... 1998-month-09/0911.html Cal and Shawnie also contributed unofficial poems for our enjoyment. Joss Moorkens was nominated, but has not yet fulfilled his duty. You can find these poems by heading over to www.majordomo.net/sinister/hypermail/1998-month-xx/####.html. Please substitute xx for a month and #### for an actual number, or I will have to eat you. And Keith, you are ace for sending the FAQ out to everyone. Being nice goes such a long way in getting your point across.

yeah, to agree with Spaceboy, how bad is it when you actually own the record and you're just using the CD-R for personal use? i didn't mean to cause such a stir b/c that's what i was talking about. ______________________________________________________ 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: Change of e-address, NYC picnic, Sweet FA, band lists...
by Mick McMick 22 Sep '98

22 Sep '98

Hello there, Well I got back from NYC yesterday. Where to begin? Okay, first of all, for all those needing my e-mail services, I'm at <bp224996(a)oak.cats.ohiou.edu> for the time being. Actually I've been at this address for over two years now, it's just that now I don't have a forwarding address. On the subject of Sweet FA, if it is indeed Sweet Fanny Adams, there is a Momus song which mentions it. It's the one on the Patron Saints of Teenage comp, I think it's called something like "Murderers, the Hope of Women." Quite a good song, really. And the New York picnic was loads of fun, I have the bruises to prove it. I'm quite curious to see the photos of me battling with the "squirrel." I swear I had the upper hand until that bike got in the way... Anyway, I couldn't post a better description than the ones already mentioned thus far. We'll have some pictures developped eventually, I'd bet. And all this about bands lists. Really, um, Idunno, it just seems...well I know it's hard to stop yourself (I barely managed), but it's anything but impressive, for the most part (except Genevieve's ;). By that I don't mean that your lists of bands are inferior, but you just come off in a negative light, rather than the positive one you might think. If you just think for a bit, all this posting trouble business should be fixed. Just remember that there are a lot of people reading this, and if it's a common B&S question, as you can imagine we've already discussed it many times. And in case you're worried, like people say, there's the archives. It's just that this is a really fun list, and Honey does a great job of running it, and I'd hate to see all that end.
