>be nice to me everyone, i'll admit i'm feeling strange. moving is next >to>bereavement and divorce in the trauma stakes, and most people who have >to>move at least have jobs. :-(((( Nope. Have to move because bathroom fell out of the flat and landed on my leg. Now no bath, no water but lots of plaster and concrete and a screaming mad landlord. With a passion for gambling his rent onto football, horses, random sex instead of nice shiny clean bathroom. No job because I am an absurd lunatic who had a nice large well paid career in front of me and then thought, Nah don't fancy that any more, let's go back to college and do something totally different. Hmm. Medicine to Art, English and Phoilosophy in on easy Sunday morning in 1997... \ sinister keeps my pecker up though, I don't have one of those:-( Am I losing out? I always thought so... > I went on a spending spree on Saturday and bought two splediferous CDs >->'The Fidelity Wars' by Hefner Oh oh OH!!! and 'Slow riot for zero Kanada' by Godspeed >you Black Emperor. Oh oh ohhhhhhhhhhh!!! I love you!! >hellooooo my little bags of bubbles... Speaking of which, I was on the Heath the other day and there was one girl, looking very lonely and on her own and blowing bubbles all over. Tony decided she was on the Sinister list. but I begged to think not. She just didnt LOOK the part, I dont know. Was it any of you? >Should I take Chemistry? I hate being indecisive.

as the rumour bounds along grimly and the little children cry, remember nothing has officially been said - although sources say that it's pretty likely to be cancelled. Anybody know of any major bands willing to jump in at the last minute and save my much-needed break - no cause they're all rightly busy. But to save these dashed hopes I've a plan - a few of us will no doubt have arranged our transport to at least london so lets have a huge sinister weekend...and hire out our own ocean theme bar..I can do a mean bonnie tyler, Joss can be Lee Hazelwood, paula and Scott can serve the booze, Nick, Tim, Mick and Mark can wow us with their 'Sandman' rendition like the one in Grease 2. Martin, Geoff, Matt, Maren, Natasha and Marcus can be the token instrumental set, complete with triangles and 101 sounds yamaha keyboards. Vincent and Jim are our own indie band djs - with a fine display of hats to keep us amused between records. Alasdair, Alan, Ailsa, Alex and Amos are the Bananarama cover band cos there's five of them with names beginning with 'a' and theres five 'a's in bananarama - lucky they didnt begin with * as we would be subjected to the foot tapping 'system addict', all evening. Paul will of course be 'garish in (a) pink' blazer. David, Richard and Robin will be the gorgeous security who hand out free disposable cameras to the crowd. Erica, Jan, Giita and Pam can be the Shangrilas - singing '(remember) walking in the sand'...which we all can..sob. Theres your list then of all who are going, or were, or are, well lets face it arent. claire ______________________________________________________ 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".

Morning Popsicle lickers, So All Toronto�s Pasties has been cancelled then... Bugger! 12 reasons why: (according to Steve Lamacq, an impromptu interview with Aidan Moffet, and some other random music-bod): 1. She prefers the night to dayaa! Err, sorry, lets try again... 1. Generally poor tickets sales: Well what did they expect with a minimum of ticket purchase of a 4 person chalet at �420+. 2. Bad timing1: A festival at the arse-end of summer after people have already paid to go to their choice of the BIG festivals - "Wow that�s such a wacky idea it can never fail, the kidz will lap it up, oh yes!" 3. Bad timing2: Holding it just as virtually all the student population in the country are either in the process of returning to Uni, or are in the middle of the best time there (ie: the first few weeks where work is light and reunions flow with unlimited quantities of cheap phishy lager). 4. Bad timing3: Arse-end of summer => beginning of winter => eventful weather conditions down on the Sussex coast. Yeah I know everyone will be in chalets, but it would be a right pisser to have to be inside most of the time just to avoid hideous weather conditions, and that beautiful beach would be completely wasted which would be a crime and a crying-shame. And what about football, ARGH! what a nightmare scenario, we wouldn�t be able to judge the worthiness forthcoming bands on the knobbiliness and cleanliness of their knees during the five-aside. 5. Band line-up: The line-up is damned impressive, but most of them have only just done-the-rounds or are in the middle of a tour right now, so its not as if its an extremely rare event (unlike say, seeing Belle & Sebastian play live). 6. Location: The Camber sands site itself has just what you need for a festy like this but its in the middle of no-where, so not even avid fans would be likely to follow there favourite bands there (eg: imagine Gorky's, Arab Strap's, or Stereolab's large home-town troop of fans traipsing down to see them on the windswept Sussex coast) 7. Err, All the Rod Hull and Emu fans are boycoting it after they saw the twisted t-shirts sold at the last one making a mockery of their recently departed idols. 8. Reports of the locals eating stray revellers has gained popular opinion. 9. Fans aren't prepared for the shock of John Peel not showing up again. 10. "The bands on just don't have the hard-core obsessive following that Belle & Sebastian has" (Hey, that�s you! ;) 11. Something about an ancient curse, where the first person to dance in the second arena will turn into a potted seedling and spend the rest of eternity decorating a dingy nook of the Camber Sands restaurant. 12. And err, people are staying at home just in case that weirdo loner J Cocker is there again, trying to make friends with the kidz by offering them boiled sweets, piggy-back rides and invitations back to his chalet to pet his Labrador puppies (And I'm not falling for that one again, oh no <shudder> ). So that�s it, but looking on the bright-side: loads of us are suddenly gonna get a �105 refund, money which we have already missed (dearly) and adapted to the loss as necessary, so why don't we pool all our funds together and do something B I G ! Like our own replacement do (or enmasse mourning session) for the festival that never was. I avoid order and organisation like the plague (as can be seem in the dishevelled anarchic manner I keep my pants & sock drawer in ;) but if another bitter dejected fool would like to suggest, organise, be responsible for, and take the blame for fuck-ups for something we can go to them let the world know you�re thoughts (or not if they�re really scary!). Now I must work, with the burden of tears welling inside me and the acronym 'ATP' echoing eternal through my thoughts, swelling my heart in synchronicity with my subdued sobbing mews... < or some other Morrissey lyric ;> Take care my fragile children, unlimited love to each and everyone of you, paul. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: The catalan folk with his silly posts (and his bad english)
by Jordi Trenzano i Vilar 07 Sep '99

07 Sep '99

Hi, people Yes, itŽs me again. And this is another post just for finding answers. IŽve been re-watching time&again the BBC documentary that Rob Halcrow so kindly sent me. ThereŽs one point that maybe is wrong. When youŽve got the drawing of Stu asking people at the cafe to join his band, somebody answers "I can play the violin !" who obviously canŽt be no one else than Sarah. But, as I have understood, Sarah joined the band later, at the "Sinister" sessions. Is this a mistake by mr. Bandit Stewart ? Oh, at the live recording of "The boy..." you can see Matthew Hintz at the first row, along with mr. Nick Dastoor. I need an advice: which album to buy, Cane 141 "Scene from 6 a.m" or Beth OrtonŽs "Cen tral Reservation" ? Both are playing here in a few weeks. ===================================== ============= Jordiet Sinistre (Always looking at the bright side of life) ================================================== Tu E-Mail Gratis en http://www.mixmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: *i* shot andy warhol!!
by Georgine Skeene 07 Sep '99

07 Sep '99

Yes it's everyones favorite DYKE SKEELSTER(tm so don't you go bogartingt the mix fluffy bee-yotches! WORD!), i'm in AZ now so a warning to erin and phillippe?? and tom who are also in the southwest to keep looking out for DANGER. it just wasn't home without the sinisters, and now i read it again feelign like i've lost out, i see lots of names i don't recognize, not a bad thing i'm just saying i have no idea what you lot are talking about, and whats this about isobel being a crocodile handbag, or being flat or something, someone please inform me. i have a real email address, trixy-cybele(a)az.rmci.net but it won't mail anything to majordomo, it said it was giving up and sorry. so i'm mailing from trollopinpaisley, the world's favorite email address, or at least of magnetic fields dorks. i'll have you know i went out to see SUPPERCHUNK last night on me bicycle, i got in for free, god knows how, i guess they weren't paying attention, i had a gin and tonic and laura superchunk is one sexy indie rock babe and everyone was bouncing. oh yes. i've been feeling rather under the weather lately seeing as how my HEART WAS CRUSHED AND MANGLED IN A FUCKING MEAT GRINDER, oh and that rusty knife stabbed into my back and twisted several hundred times didn't help either, so when i spoke to cutie Sunny Day Real Estate Chick in the coffeeshop, and saw all these really lovely girls everywhere, sometimes things like that just make your day worthwhile for once. Oh. everyone out here has little black glasses--the girls i mean--and wears kerchiefs, it's like isobel fest or soemthing. Oh i forgot to mention Biker Bel. she looked just like isobel, cept maybe a little less skinny, had a red kerchief and she had all these huge-ass tattoos of like eagles and stuff on her back and! ! on her arm. she was great. um oh yes. i have lots of new comic strips to post. oh and allen i must remember to mail you the thing i said i would mail you awright sweetie? god this post sucks. i just wanted to say that i'm all moved and i ahve a shiny bicycle and i'm heartbroken and oh yes, stuart is pretty cute isn't he? oh and. i just got my other photos back and one of the Looper pictures actually came out, so yall can see stuart david with his lighted specs on as soon i post that one up, anyeon who wasn't lucky enough to see it in person. um everything is just pretty insane, but on a better note i get the independent film channel, that makes up for everything else right? i imagine so. and they have 24-hr Lili Taylor. apparently. which is fine with me.....althoug i'm getting scared, because every time i watch something on there, the next movie comes on and the same ppl are in it, and when i look stuff up about the movies, they all fit together like this huge incestuous puzzle, like what movie WASNT Lili Taylor in?? she was in EVERYTHING!!(not a bad thing mind you) and it just really scares me, i basically don't know if there is a God anymore, my fingernails are falling out trying to remember all the peopel who were in FLIRT. i'm scared mommy. i guess i didn't shoot andy warhol, but i've been itching to shoot SOMEONE> i've never done this kind of thing before...but if i killed him now, well who's gonna miss him??

Sinister: A heart that beats as both siphon and resevoir...

07 Sep '99

The list crush hath restarted? Well, I guess it did need it but I sadly bid my 4 votes adieu. It'll be interesting to see who rises to the top of the heap this time. My money stays with Lauren as that girl has charm to spare. I saw your prom picture Genevieve but I'm confused as to which one is you. I know little if anything about the sartorial aspects of prom dresses, but I'm assuming you're the lovely on the right in the red? Please fill me in... Any Vince Guaraldi fans on the Sinister list? I dug out all my old Charlie Brown records this week and I was properly blown away at how good they sounded now that I hadn't heard them in ages. The Christmas record is still my fave, even in September. Is he still alive? If so maybe I'll write him a letter someday. Anyone have a band on the East Coast that would like to trade gigs? I arrange and play drums in an acoustic pop band not unlike the Lemonheads or Wilco. We're from Baltimore and we're willing to trade gigs far and wide so long as we can play basketball and skateboard wherever we go. Mail me if'n you're interested in a good game of 5 a side... I'll keep this short this time...later Steve C. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: I try for you
by Genevieve Wesley 07 Sep '99

07 Sep '99

Weh! I hate hate hate my computer..its being absolutely awful right now,and I know I owe some people some things so please just be patient with me and all will be good. I cant even stay on long enough to send proper emails before my computer shuts down,so I would just like to thank the windswept member of Roolz for that lovely tape.... I have only heard a few Walker Brothers songs...and oh BOY...I have finally heard the Genevieve one. That Scott Walker makes me feel all tingly... when I hear him say my name it makes me want to clutch a diary of love poems to my bosom while standing in a billowing nightgown overlooking the night sky by the open window.Doesnt it just make you want to do that?I would keep a ladder by the open window as well...the window curtain would billow too. Should I take Chemistry? I hate being indecisive. Mmmm...I`m trying to contribute something to this list..and geez,nothing is forming... I`m sorry. Not even any sordid little dreams about Stuart Murdoch.Oh,well there was one thing.I had strange hallucinations this weekend...you know when you stare at something too long and it takes the form of something else? Well I was standing on a valley overlooking a herd of cows,who all had their backs to me,and suddenly,with their pink udders peeking out from their bellies,their butts starting taking on faces and it was this horrible herd of the butt-faced cows!You know how in the ending to Animal Farm the men were becoming pigs and the pigs men till one couldnt tell the difference? It was kind of like that..only with bums and faces.And one started the take on the shape of stuart m! My goodness...every one of you seems to be jetting off to this and that city or country.I feel like a peasant girl.Well,have any of you seen Fiddler On The Roof? I feel kinda like the tailor. Even a poor tailor is entitled to some happiness! And then there is that wonderful scene where be breaks out into song `Wonder of wonder...miracle of miracles!` Sigh...wouldnt Stuart be an absolute dream in a musical? Gosh..I wouldnt be able to sit in my seat..I would be eternally tingly. lots of love to you all,you`re such pretty things, Genevieve (love shines in the sky for me,it really does) p.s sweet ginger fox,bear with me,those tapes WILL arrive soon. ______________________________________________________ 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: toronto things

::confession:: there were 2 sinisterines, and one sinisterine-in-law at the rancho relaxo on friday, but they had all had long and tiring days and left early due to general apatheticness. boo. but that is no indication of how fun they really are. no names will be revealed :) tomorrow is mogwai. wednesday is mogwai. yay. i will be there with receptionist extraordinaire emily and 2 other fellows, and if you see a girl with shortish black hair and bangs and glasses, ask "are you on sinister?" and after making a fool of yourself by asking 5 girls that question, you'll probably stumble on to me and i'll say "yes, i am. hello" right back. wednesday will be a big day because canadian debbie will be returning, and if i am right (and i better be cos i have their mogwai tickets) martin and his friend vince will be in town. we should meet up somewhere shouldn't we? diana, are you out there? kevin marchand, have you dissapeared? and that e.a seems like quite a party animal as well! someone please suggest a suitable location or else i will be forced to make plans, and my plans, as good as they sound in my head, are not always so flawless. that's it. teri +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
