Sinister: the three minutes from tuesday poem
by mkl206＠is8.nyu.edu 22 Sep '98

22 Sep '98

i'm actually getting ready for my creative writing class right now, and looking at poetry, and then it just occured to me that we still haven't gotten a monday poem yet!!! horrors!!!! so i'll do this week's and then joss can do next weeks. though i think that matt needs to do one rather badly. so anyway, i'll just use dorothy parker. she can get pretentious, but she has a beautiful sense of humor. and this one is my favorite by her. Threnody Lilacs blossom just as sweet Now my heart is shattered. If I bowled it down the street, Who's to say it mattered? If there's one that rode away What would I be missing? Lips that taste of tears, they say, Are the best for kissing. Eyes that watch the morning star Seem a little brighter; Arms held out to darkness are Usually whiter. Shall I bar the strolling guest, Bind my brow with willow? When, they say, the empty breast Is the softest pillow? That a heart falls tinkling down, Never think it ceases. Every likely lad in town Gathers up the pieces. If there's one gone whistling by Would I let it grieve me? Let him wonder if I lie; Let him half believe me. xox megan mkl206(a)is8.nyu.edu visit the magnetic fields web page at: http://www.dissemination.com/megan/magneticfields/ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Another awful intro
by Kristy Fraser 22 Sep '98

22 Sep '98

Well, I am beginning to think myself a bit of a voyeur here. So before I let myself slip completely into the realm of the perverse I feel that I should introduce myself. Perhaps then I will be more likely to speak up in the future. Here it goes....I'm Kristin, 24 and absolutely nuts for B&S. It has become the soundtrack for my life (I know, I know, that was bad).... the music works anytime, anywhere... on the bus, at the park, reading in bed (The Collector right now....) I just can't be bothered to listen to anything else anymore! I got my tickets for the Toronto gig the minute they wen't on sale.... hurray!!! I would love to hear from anyone else who is going to the show.... or anyone else for that matter! K _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Sinister: PLEASE READ: evil babysitters
by Honey 22 Sep '98

22 Sep '98

Actually there won't be one. This just to say that your list manager will be away for some of this week and next, and expects you all to be good bunnies, not make rude signs to the neighbours, and not feed your little sister to the dog. And keep the house tidy. I'll probably pop in remotely to do any maintenance I can, and because it will cost me I will be less patient... grrr. And thanks for reading my last long rather serious mail (if you did) and if you didn't then go and do so now - it's become mandatory as a lot of people are ignoring it. It's at: http://www.majordomo.net/sinister/hypermail/current/0823.html - there, that's nice and easy for you. I'm going to start getting tough as the survival of this list depends on it, so a few people will be hearing from me shortly if they don't show some public spirit and do what's needed to keep this list alive. I'm even prepared to make some of you the ultimate sacrifice. The list rules aren't optional and I will do what's needed to make sure this remains a good place for people to be, based on what people tell me they want. Remember discussions about what mails people should be sending to mailing lists are best done privately with the list manager rather than on the list or we all disappear up our own back passages. Messy. So please, although it's tempting, don't mail the list and start a discussion about what's appropriate on the list. It's terribly self-referential and doesn't make for an enjoyable list. The rules of behaviour are very clear and no-one's got any excuse not to read them - and everyone can see people who aren't. None of you should be telling the list how to behave - that's my job and I know how to do it by now. Your job is to enjoy yourself and post things of value for the rest of us. Please don't post multiple posts with little content. Bundle up your thoughts for the day into one mail. I've said it before, in almost all circumstances, if anyone's posting more than two mails a day, you're getting something wrong, and everyone can see. Think before you post. CD-Rs - it's not as if this hasn't been hashed out a million times on the list before - we don't want the same old debate again please. If you have something new to say, you'd better have checked the archives first. Jeepster's position is clear, they turn a blind eye to taped Tigermilks, and don't want to have to take action against digital copies, so don't want to know about it on the list. The delay in reissuing Tigermilk was the band's decision as far as I know, not Jeepster's - see the online chat - so they have to accept the consequences. Tigermilk will be reissued next year. You may disagree with Jeepster's position but this discussion's a blind alley - they choose to draw a line between analogue and digital copies. No-one's *really* saying that someone who does a copy for a friend and doesn't earn cash doing it is a hardened criminal - this list is independent, so if you want to tell everyone you're pressing 100 copies a day and making 15 quid a copy you *can* but don't be surprised when Jeepster come your way. The possibility of mass-produced bootlegs was raised countless times 9 months ago - it was clear it was going to happen then and we talked to the band about it in the online chat. They didn't care so much - I think they do now just because disreputable people are making solid cash - it's not nice to see your creation turned into a hard earner to unscrupulous gits. Professional bootleggers are making money out of music they care nothing about right now - shame on you if there's anyone on the list who helped them do it, but it's really not a surprise to anyone. And if you're doing your own copies, just do it privately ok? Again, let's not discuss this all over again unless you have something startling and new to say. And let's not discuss discussing it. End of rant. Oh, whoever set up this mailing list as a recipient of the Technosphere online game stuff - a minority of people found the first mail mildly diverting, but it's not funny after 10. I'm blocking these mails to the list now after a lot of requests, but could you take the list off it now please? I don't want to be still stopping these mails in a year's time. And stop chewing that gum when I'm talking to you. And sorry to anyone who's waiting for email from me, as always, it's not forgotten, but tucked into my bodice for later. I'm dead busy but I promise not to forget anyone who's asked for anything, if you'll be patient. Some of you have sent me really nice emails too, with some fine suggestions for the list. Reid - I'm so sorry not to put those TWITBUS chords up on the WWW page, I'll try and do it before I leave. And it's Oon's birthday today. So, you lot, be good. It's quite late isn't it? Grr :) Honey xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Re: Sinister: Tigermilk to CD-R
by Brier Random 22 Sep '98

Yes, but regardless of whether the person bought Tigermilk or was given it or found it on their doorstep... copying a published recording in ANY form is illegal, and I think Jeepster is being kind in allowing us to tape it for others, and CDs maybe go too far, as Snyder pointed out..... -----Original Message----- From: SpaceboyUK(a)aol.com <SpaceboyUK(a)aol.com> To: mwsnyder(a)seas.upenn.edu <mwsnyder(a)seas.upenn.edu>; sinister(a)majordomo.net <sinister(a)majordomo.net> Date: Monday, September 21, 1998 5:23 PM Subject: Re: Sinister: Tigermilk to CD-R > >In a message dated 98-09-21 19:38:45 EDT, mwsnyder(a)seas.upenn.edu writes: > ><< okay, since this has been brought up a bunch of times, here's the response > from one of those times. it's from the archives. >> > >yes but this person has an actual RECORD of tigermilk >so i'd say he has the right to put it on CD >because he bought it(or were tigermilk LPs given??) > >oh well. >thats all i have on the subject. > >-a,james >+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ > +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ > To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Problems
by Brier Random 22 Sep '98

22 Sep '98

Is anyone else receiving most of the postings TWICE? Why is that? And PLEASE.... read the damn archives before asking something that's been asked literally fifty times before. And NO MORE LISTS of your damn favorite bands. There, I'm done. Back to reading my remaining 45 posts.

okay, since this has been brought up a bunch of times, here's the response from one of those times. it's from the archives. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Re: Sinister: Can anyone in US burn me a Tigermilk CD? Funkyseb(a)aol.com Thu, 10 Sep 1998 11:04:40 EDT Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Rod Begbie: "Sinister: Business Proposal" Previous message: Gillian McKay: "Sinister: cover star" Maybe in reply to: bilner: "Sinister: Can anyone in US burn me a Tigermilk CD?" Next in thread: david kitchen: "Re: Sinister: Can anyone in US burn me a Tigermilk CD?" Right, I'm big and grown up now, I think it's my turn to answer this one. Look, Jeepster and the band are very sweet in turning a blind eye to the exchange of *tape* copies of Tigermilk, as long as it's not for profit. But, as we all know, it is illegal to bootleg albums, even if they are as life affirming as that album is. And the point is, a cd-r of the LP is a bit too professional, and bit too easily reproducable for Jeepster to ignore. So, to all newbies, please don't shout about making CD-Rs on the list, if you must do it, 'cause things get uncomfortable, and David + Katrina have to stop being lovely bunnies, and get serious. Which no-body wants. It's happened too many times before. It's going to come out again sooner or later, on CD, so please be patient, and put up with your scratchy old tape dub for a bit longer, like everyone else :-) God, that was a but sensible. seb (who's nearly finished that review. just a bit of polishing left, some nfinitives to stick back together, etc.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- apologies to funkyseb(a)aol.com for resending this message. i don't think he'll mind though. -matthew | | wouldn't it be better if you made a tape of yr record to send to someone | to make a CD-R? if you made a good tape, the sound quality lost wouldn't | be noticeable. someone made me one from a tape and it sounds great. | | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
