Sinister: the sinister park football awards
by Marcus Omond 20 Sep '99

20 Sep '99

hello again everyone, well, as i briefly mentioned yesterday, nike are having a 'park football'awards, and i thought that it'd be nice to turn nike town from a big corporate obscenity into the location of the next london sinister meet up. so i'm off to http://www.nikelondon.com/parkfootball/parkfootballawards/main.htm to vote once again. so far i've voted for 'looper' as team of the season, 'drunken matt' as the best nickname, and for myself as *ahem* best player of the season ;) so come on down and vote. right, now that's over, i was wondering if anyone was going to see either the radar brothers tomorrow (upstairs at the garage) or arab strap at the union chapel on wednesday. i was going to go and see geneva today, but i hardly slept last night, and so i'm rather wiped (if anyone wants my tickets mail me privately, and i'll let you have them). and rather lonely, because natasha's just gone up to leeds :( still, i suppose that that's not as bad as cyprus. someone was talking about taking on townies (or 'spides', as i think he called them) in burger king. i remember when i was still at boarding school, one of my friends and i were wandering the streets of winchester at three in the morning when nine or ten townies aproached us. they called my friend a 'fucking queer' (well, i suppose he was wearing so much mascara that he looked like a panda), threw police cones at him, and then proceeded to stand round him in a circle, taking turns at kicking him in the face. so i kept on walking, increasing my pace so as to get a bit of distance between us, which wasn't very supportive, but i was wearing glitter and thick rim glasses, so i didn't think they'd take too well to me. one of them shouted after me 'oi! he's my fucking cousin! do you want some too, you fuckin' prick?' to which i replied 'no thank you' (in my best posh voice) and broke into a sprint. quite why he was telling me about his relations i don't know even to this day. anyway, i'd been abusing my lungs all evening, and so i didn't get far before the asthma kicked in. so i picked up a stick, turned around, and shouted 'this is my mobile phone, i've just called the police, they're going to be here in less than a minute'. and they believed me, and ran away. leaving my friend with a black eye, a bleeding lip and a cracked tooth. thankfully steel-capped doc martens weren't as cool as nikes in the townie community at that time... from that day onwards i only went out in winchester late at night with my friend who had a black belt in karate and judo. but i never got attacked again. oh well. anyway, i've posted twice in two days, and so i'd better shut up for a bit. come and vote for me at the nike page - i quite fancy winning an entirely inappropriate prize. love from everyone's favorite male lesbian, Marcus XXX +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: my so called life
by The Narrow Wizard 20 Sep '99

20 Sep '99

Well in the grand tradition of sinister posts I'm gonna start complaining about my love life soon (I think we do this cos we all suck and that's what makes us strong) but a few other points first. MY NEW GERMAN CHALET MATE I live with a german girl who took all of 4 days to go from someone who had never heard of B&S to someone who is obsessed by them as much as me. She now sits and listens to my CD's over and over again. It's pretty cool. MORE CELEBRITY MEETINGS Warning this one isnt as good as when stuart M had his cock out or when I got to kiss Naomi Yang. I was at a club in Newcastle and former Inspiral Carpet Clint Boon was DJ'ing. I went up and requested some My Bloody Valentine and he said he wasn't sure if he had any but he would definately look cos he hadn't heard them in ages. A few minutes later MBV were played and half of the people in the club literaly screamed then started dancing (the others in there were wearing Stereophonics shirts and trying to work out what the hell was going on). A while later as I was passing the DJ box Clint "a lot fatter than he used to be" Boon called me over and thanked me for requesting such cool music...it was a strange night. BIG RANT AGAINST WOMEN This is the bit where I complain about my love life so feel free to stop reading (that is if you got this far). The big question...why are women so sex obsessed. Whenever I pull (which isnt too often obviously) I always seem to end up with a girl who wants no more than for me to tear her clothes of and get down to business. What ever happened to talking to people...to kissing and cuddling....to waiting till some time after the night of first meeting? My God yo're all obsessed by fucking (okay that was a sweeping generalisation there but you understand what I mean). How about I start this again but from a different point? A couple of nights ago I was out for a drink with a few friends when I was introduced to a girl. I spent the night talking to various people including this girl and then as we were all leaving she grabbed me and started kissing me. Then she came back to my chalet tore all my clothes of and.... the thing is, though she was a good looking girl I really didn't want to have sex with her because quite frankly I didn't know her.I was wondering if it was me who was the weirdo for not wanting to fuck her or if her and all the other girls I've met lately are the strange ones. I guess that this is what was meant by the lyric from the song Belle And Sebastian which goes "He wants to love and he wants to care, but when the girls hear that they all think that he's so square" Well I think I've taken up enough of your time now bye love owen With that the narrow wizard waggled his bushy eyebrows and disappeared in a flash of blue flame leaving behind only a faint smell of cinnamon +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Well i don't think nmh are touring at the moment, they cancelled their gigs here in sweden. I myself got to know the nmh and otc when they played here in Sweden several times and they are true delicate and friendly people. i adore the whole lot, If one would ever have the oppurtunity to hang with those guys I assure u your time would be lovely.. I think nmh are working on some new stuff.. I think that they cancelled the european tour (olivia tremor control) because the recordcompany had no money to pay for the costs or something like that but I miss them and I hope to see the whole lot somtime soon again they are twinkling stars for me.. hugs becka http://travel.to/blondie ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Don't Cast Away Stones
by b j 20 Sep '99

20 Sep '99

I note that folk occasionally talk about 'obligatory B&S content'. Well, here's a tad. I was listening to 'Sinister' yesterday for the first time in ages, and couldn't help but be reminded of what the President of the Peter Reid Fan Club (Greenwich Cell) has told me: *** There's Always Been A Stones Element To Their Music.*** Older readers, and those who've rifled through Stevie T's bookshelves, will know that Simon Reynolds used to say this once a week about the Smiths. B&S? Not to dwell on matters like the fact that the Stones wrote 'Stray Cat Blues' and B&S 'Fox In The Snow'; that the Stones sang about 'a block in St John's Wood', and B&S 'a caravanette in Hull'; that the Stones have covered a Dylan song, indeed played with Dylan, and B&S mention him in a song; that the Stones did 'The Under Assistant West Coast Promo Man' and B&S 'Seymour Stein' - which my poetry contacts tell me is identical to 'You Can't Always Get What You Want'. I won't even draw on the really startling fact that the second track on Beggars Banquet is called 'No Expectations', and the second track on Sinister is called... No, let's stick to these 3 big musical links: 1. You're Just A Baby. Chunk-a-chunk-chunk. Say no more. 2. The solo in 'Dylan In The Movies'. The solo in 'The Last Time'. 3. 'The Loneliness Of The Middle Distance Runner'. I've heard this from a distance. At first I thought it was like a pastiche of 'Gimme Shelter'. Then I thought it might be a pastie of 'Stray Cat Blues' or 'Moonlight Mile'. But no: I have to reveal that it's a pistachio of 'Sister Morphine'. *Seriously.* It ain't no capital crime. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: bits'n'bobs
by Ian McKinney 20 Sep '99

20 Sep '99

Hello folks, MY WEEKEND Rain, boredom, rain, ennui, rain, lethargy, rain. Highlight: I FINALLY got round to buying my own copy of TBWTAS. I now own all their official recorded output. EYES WIDE SHUT What was that all about then? Visually stunning, however plot'n'dialogue useless. TOWNIES They call 'em spides where I come from. I once took on six of the bastards with a chair in Burger King (They started it). Then a big hairy middle aged rocker leapt into the melee, and bit someones ear off. The story made the local paper. I AM A HERO Speaking of spides, I caught two of them trying to steal a car right outside my bedroom window in the small hours of saturday morning. I called 999 and the fuzz were on the scene within thirty seconds. I kept watch through a tiny gap in my curtains. It was like 'The Bill - too hot for TV'. One of the rozzers actually said "You're nicked, my son!", before giving the two spides what appeared to be a good going over. I thought I might get a reward, but nothing has been forthcoming so far. That's all for now, Ian (aka gib) ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: sympathy request, nay, DEMAND
by Pamela Hutchinson 20 Sep '99

20 Sep '99

hello sinister there seems to have been a few changes since I went away, so for the benefit of all of you with short memories, or the recently released from the nursery, I'm really cool and pretty and everyone on the list loves me to bits!!!! maybe although I must be special cos I came home from holiday to london on tuesday and found a whole long weekend of glam sinster fun laid on for my delectation!! parties, picnics, feasting and fun all round. Unfortunately after a couple of days running round catching up with pals and unpacking I got knocked out by strange ex-soviet flu germs and I have been lying on the sofa sniffling all weekend instead of reviving the tigermilk dance marathon. Boohooo! My sentences are generally much too long. I aplogise wholeheartedly. anyway, I hope you all had groovy times and I will see you all at the next one, although I may have to steer clear of the glamorous Marcus to preserve my sanity. He's a poor pestered darling. anyway again. THREE AND A BIT WEEKS OF TRAVELLING AND I GOT TO LISTEN TO TIGERMILK ONCE. I snatched a bit of walkman time somewhere on a motorway outside Moscow to top up my B+S levels. Apart from that I was surviving pretty harsh cold turkey. I was travelling with a whole load of people from Australia and NEw Zealand and the music we played on the coach was purposefully one size fits all MOR. Now, I don't personally have anything agianst Neil Finn, but... God, I'm a whinging pom. Speak to you later when I'm bouncier lots of luv pamela xx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: 10 Roddington Place
by PJMiller 20 Sep '99

20 Sep '99

Indie cool? I thought cool was the exclusive preserve of teddy boys. According to the Star Wars pull-out thing that came with yesterday's paper, what used to be called a bowlie haircut, as sported by the soon-to-become-evil Annakin Skywalker, is now a simple haircut for slaves. Slaves to drink and drugs and gay sex, presumably. I saw a nice film the other day, a bird talked about wanking for ages and then later on she was having one of those "orgasms" that you sometimes hear about, it was a close-up of her ecstatic face as she moaned and mooed and writhed and wriggled. I thought she was, erm...what was that expression? Strumming her own furry banjo, that's it...but she wasn't, she was getting a jolly good seeing to from the bloke upstairs. Later on you got to see her hairy orchard, which was hairier on one side than the other. All in all, quite disturbing. You can stuff your Eyes Wide Shut right up your arse. This next bit is probably only for Jordi: Migala are supposed to be on the telly tonight, according to the paper. So are two other groups and the programme's only 15 minutes long, at about half past one. Should give the ratings a boost. Indie - independent. Independent from what? Thought waves? If independent is a post-punk concept, what did smart arses like before punk? Why don't people like "townies"? Is it because they're unemployed and smelly? Or have I got it wrong? I've never heard the expression before. Are they "neds"? Kappa used to be quite posh. Athletic Bilbao use it, and you can't get posher than that.

Sinister: It makes up for the shortcomings of being poor
by Elizabeth Daplyn 20 Sep '99

20 Sep '99

Oh for fuck's sake. Here I am out in the cold again - I missed another fabu piquenique and TigerWank (tee hee), on account of being first in Bath (posh place in Somerset where my mother now lives) and now in Nottingham (not so posh place in "Robin Hood County" where my sister is now studying to be a scary lawyer). Bugger. So people have once again missed the opportunity to see my shit dancing. Ah well. Still, I _am_ starting to get a little paranoid about this - Tiggermilkings are now always scheduled so that I can't go to them - I'll get you for this, Casarroto, just see if I don't. The (ahem) consolation is that I'm going to some shit club in Notts tonight to get pissed and dance appallingly to cheese. Woohoo! Right. Due to the _overwhelming_ interest in Universally Challenged amongst Sinisterites of late, I can now cease being quite so ashamed of being on the bloody thing in a couple of weeks' time. If anyone wants to see (and hear) me saying "frottage" on national TV, just watch out for St. Hilda's College (Oxford University) in the near future. We're playing King's College London (medical types), and I'm not going to tell you who won. So there. Nerr. Ah, Jonny Lee Miller (shurely some relation, PJ?). He's a sublimely fancy piece. He was in "Regeneration" - shown on our fine British TV the other night, being snippy with Jonathan Pryce in Edinburgh. Not as good as the book, but pretty good, although Wilfred Owen was far too pretty. Not that I'm complaining, you understand... So anyway, I felt inspired to watch "Hackers", which I taped off the box a while back, and which also stars the tasty morsel. It has amusing virtual reality sequences, and lots of cool kids in their Cuberpunk Sunday Best. Oh how I guffawed. Well, darlings, I must wash my hair and stop increasing my sister's phone bill inordinately. Ta ta fer noo. Love, Liz :x P.S. Erica for supreme world leader. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
