Sinister: Younger than Yesterday
by Kara Baer 03 Apr '99

03 Apr '99

Hello Sinister! I've decided that it is impossible to see Belle & Seb on more than one show per tour. I attempted it in the States (DC and Philly) and as I'm now between terms, I decided that I would try to see the Gentle Waves in both Leeds and Cardiff. After 6 hours on the train, 15 minutes on the bus, and some wandering around lost in Cardiff Bay, I come to the Cardiff Coal Exchange which has a wee sign on the door saying : "Due to circumstances beyond our control, the Gentle Waves show has been canceled." Le sigh... Anyway, the Leeds show was great fun. I was the girl in the bright orange jacket sitting between some popkids I had met and Dave, who studiously ignored me all evening. The two films screened were Les Mistons and the Red Balloon. Two sweet french films only marred by a drunk girl in pigtails calling out "this is boring!" Isobel seemed very very nervous. You could barely hear her at first, although her confidece seemed to pick up at the end. She didn't really look or talk to the audience. The instrumentation was great, from Vibraphone to french horn. Although the songs seemed a bit amaturish at times, it was all very sweet and unaffected. I'm very disapointed to have missed the Cardiff show.

Sinister: ooooh!

...ah, I'm full of pre-picnic excitement and bounciness! :-) ...well, this is my first post to the luvverly Sinister community, and (after months of shifty lurking) it'll be a modest affair... I fear over-reaching myself, then getting horribly confused and keeling over... then I'd have to go back into hiding until the embarassment wore off, which could take quite some time... ...but yes - picnic, london, tomorrow!... how will I spot my fellow Sinister types at the tube station?... or will it be obvious?... is it written all over us?... ...I'm off to do some girly baking now, so that (barring culinary mishaps) I will have something tasty to offer the masses come tomorrow afternoon... hope to see lots of you there... love, janey applecake +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: summer in winter
by Marie Elia 03 Apr '99

hey, you lot -- all this talk of the london picnic makes me very sad. not only because i am stranded at my little liberal arts college in western pennsylvania, but because only one week ago i was IN london, the most amazing city.... (well, my newyork roots are screaming "nyc representin'!!!", but honestly i think london had all the good things about nyc and not so much of the bad...) alas, i think kimmy (kisskiss!) and i shall arrange our own B&S picnic, right here in (presently) sunny meadville. we realized that only about 3 other people on campus would probably come, but that's okay. tea, biscuits, lemonade, and sunshine... that's all that's required. oh, and a bottle of wine -- what's a picnic without a bit of inebriation?? speaking of kim, we recently were called upon to fill an empty slot in the schedule of our campus radio station. we did our first show yesterday, entitled The Sinister Hour/Rad Thrashin' Chicks Hour (it fluctuates...). anyway, DJ KIsMet and i accosted the ears of our listeners with the Glasgow Half-hour, featuring, B&S, looper, arab strap, the pastels, Bis, and others. all good fun! okay -- you londoners have a fab time tomorrow (she says, whining a bit). xo, marie +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: london picnic

with a misty rain setting over london on this easter saturday, things don't look too good for the picnic tomorrow, but no fear, as always a contigency plan is in place and this is it; we'll still be meeting at camden town tube station at around 3pm (to spare confusion), and if we decide that it's too wet or overcast, and if the sun doesn't show it's head, well that's ok, we'll just head up the road to the usual haunt of The Spread Eagle pub where we'll enjoy the rest of the afternoon in a warm and friendly (and slightly alcoholic) environment before making our way to the the Firkin pub opposite the Improv Theatre (on Tottenham Court Road, nr Warren Street) for a little gathering before heading in tothe gentle waves gig :) so, hopefully we'll see you tomorrow :) cheers david ----------------------------------------------------------------------- david kitchen : jeepster recordings ltd http://www.jeepster.co.uk/ mailto:shop@jeepster.co.uk WE ARE MOVING, NEW ADDRESS: PO BOX 14153, LONDON SW11 4XU, UK to subscribe to the news mailing list mail majordomo(a)jeepster.co.uk with the words 'subscribe news' in the body of the message +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: poetry friday
by Seamus Campbell 03 Apr '99

03 Apr '99

i've not been reading the list regularly for quite some time; i have perpetually got 800 (no joke!) unready sinister messages in the old sinister folder these days. but ramping up my enthusiasm for bowlie, and my first real trip out of the country, i thought i'd make a dazzling reappearance (ok, appearance; i'm mostly a lurker) with some sinister poetry sharing. a little home-grown bawdy verse. but first, some background. i didn't write this poem. it was a product of a game that a number of friends and i have been playing called (oddly enough) "the sonnet game". the object is simple. a group of people with pen and papers compose end-of-line rhymes to fit the sonnet rhyme scheme (ABABCDCDEFEFGG). then they exchange papers, and everyone writes a sonnet to fit the rhymes they've recieved. then they all read their sonnets out loud and have a celebratory beer, or juice or what have you. i've got a moderate colloection of these, and i've been thinking about trying to put together a sonnet game zine. i may try to have it done in time to distribute at bowlie or at the may meet-up. if people are interested, i would love to be organizer to an online round of sonnet-gaming. just write me with the word sonnet in the header and i'll send you the sonnet game f.a.q.. and if you're still interested, i'll include you in the game, and you may make it into the zine. okay, here goes. Within his cheeks there bloom'd a vivid flush On glimpsing what he'd gleaned to be a corpse. The grasses 'round grew thick and green and lush, And Odin gazed upon his lover Norse. With strength and vig'r bestowed on him by Thor, He consumated this love quite taboo. And though assured the prone one would be sore, He took him thrice, whisp'ring "my sweet baboo". With decorated shield he made a makeshift pillow On which he placed the viking's chopped-off schnoz And resting there, his heart swimmed like a minnow In penitence, and reviewing Viking laws. Then with his sword from sheath stained black and roseate Od'n cut his path to Norseman's pearly gate. hope i haven't disturbed too many of you with that. here's another from the game that's a little more normal. i did this one: when love so often grows sour and fickle and lawyers serve a thick and sorry sheaf gavels come to stand more as a sickle property usurps heart's domain from 'neath children! when you stand in hizzoner's queue you ne'er forget a small token of graft else promptly you shall have a cause to rue and watch old love laugh and laugh and laugh if a bribe to you seem all too minor you merely have a more difficult wait rewards due are richer and the finer for true wounds only time can sate ex-lovers' pain must surely be hardest why do you lawyers reap all of the harvest? if this isn't enough to teach me not to drink at work, i don't know what will. enjoy! seamus +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
