Sinister: William Messent Is Unwell
by William Messent 06 Sep '99

06 Sep '99

Cats; Good weekend? I had a blinder, my Manc friend Daniel came to visit, and we saw 'Jeffrey Bernard Is Unwell' on Saturday night, and Yo La Tengo last night in London. Were any other Sinisterines there? I looked for uppy-downy badges but saw none. It was a wicked concert, apart from when Dan and I (grammar) nipped out to get a sandwich, but noticed a sign outside a Firkin pub advertising half-price Dogbolter (non-UK listees - this is a very strong, yet disgusting-tasting beer). Never ones to let an opportunity like this slip by, we nipped in for just the one, and managed to miss Mark Eitzel. And Jega. Bollocks. We did see The Wisdom Of Harry, and, indeed Yo La Tengo. I spoke briefly with Yo La Tengo's bass player about the bassline to Autumn Sweater, and apparantly he played it with his legs. I think that's what he said anyway. Oh, about that 'using booze as an excuse' thing. I think that a lot of people do this, but I try not to. It's not like drink makes us into completely different people, is it? We may be a bit larier or whatever, but I'm still Will whether I'm drunk, hungover, or....whatever other state of being there is. I can't remember. I think booze just strips away layers of people, gets to 'the real person' almost, by getting rid of all of our social nicities. This can be a bad thing, but it's most often a good thing. I don't know how coherent that is. I'm going for a lie down.

Sinister: zen and the art of booze management
by Marcus Omond 06 Sep '99

06 Sep '99

oh dear oh dear oh dear you know, chaps, SOMEONE out there really should teach me the art of pacing myself... i mean, it'd be rather impressive if one picnic i could actually get to the pub before either passing out or throwing up everywhere... anyway, for all you poor listees who missed yet another lovely picnic, here's what happened (as far as i can remember). this gathering was much smaller than the usual london picnics, and i brought a pretty picnic virgin along - the less beautiful of the two cypriot listees, master alex runchman. unfortunately the prettiest cypriot listee was still in cyprus, which was a pity. her absence was much lamented... anyway, poor erica, the most prettiest girl on sinister (officially) was there, and she had injured one of her two heavenly legs by falling down an escalator chasing tim baxendale. in fact, she was so injured that i was shockingly unable to tempt her with my gallons of alcohol due to painkiller consumption. all the more for me then... lovely debbie arrived a little later, and said that she was going back to canada on tuesday, which is a pity, as she's made the summer rather enjoyable for some... come back next year, debbie dear, and we'll all get drunk (again). geoff was resplendant as ever. he turned up striding across the hill in a pale blue suit (i'm not allowed to say it was grey - he got insulted by that) and the loveliest pair of cufflinks. oh, and a big bag of gin and lemonade, which was welcomed with almost as much enthusiasm as geoff's own arrival. geoffrey is so smart and sophisticated - look at his picture on the pictures page... he really dresses like that, you know. meeting geoff is like seeing for a moment how the other half lives... ;) anyway, football was played, and as there were only eight participants everyone got rather tired rather quickly - i'm sure that's what did for me - it was the dehydration from running too much during the football rather than the equivalent of twelve pints of booze in various forms and rather too much dope. to refresh myself a little after the football was over, i concocted a drink. this one was not so successful in charming the ladies as my last one, and i've called it the 'vomit inducer'. it involved a mixture of gin, cypriot brandy, lemonade, wine (both colours, i believe), cranberry juice, the dregs from all of david kitchen's various interesting alcoholic beverages all topped up with about a pint of luke warm lager. top. um, i can't actually remember if anyone else was stupid enough to imbibe the divine elixir, so if you had some too, please let me know what it tasted like... probably pretty much like what it tasted of on the way back up, i imagine... anyway, to cut a long story short, it's a long walk home, especially if you throw up all over yourself and the pub next door to the record shop where you're going to buy all the new releases come monday. i think it took alex and i about three hours to get me from primrose hill to west hampstead, which is rather impressive... i can fully assure everyone that our chalet at bowlie two is going to be the drunkest. two of my chalet mates, drunken matt and meran, both put in a stunning performance in the drinking stakes while at the picnic. i'm not sure quite how conscious they were in the end, but they didn't seem that much in a better state than i was... anyway, that's about all the news from this little drunken corner of london town. like i said, if anyone can teach me how not to get SSSOOO drunk so quickly, the help would be much appreciated ;) anyway, i'm off to listen to once around the block yet another time - rather good, isn't it. but not as good as alix's lovely tape (now brandy flavour :) ), anyway, i'll see y'all at a pub very near where master dastoor works in the near future, love Marcus XXX ______________________________________________________ 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: Have we got someone called Sdtuadt ?
by Jordi Trenzano i Vilar 06 Sep '99

06 Sep '99

Hi everybody: Just a quick note only for saying thanks to Jeepster for sending me the "Tigermilk" promo postcards. I know that this was an swered almost two months ago, but whoŽs the girl who appears on it ? maybe iŽll have to wear glasses soon or this girl doesnŽt look like Mary Jo. I havenŽt been able to discover how gorgeous are the new badges. However, I hope that these news about Isobel moving flat doesnŽt mean that sheŽs scared of the Anti-Isobel Preston Army. IŽd love to be threatened if this would mean that I have someone doing the opposite. Really. Magnetic Megan complained some days ago about not having anyone able to make tapes for her. IŽd still be happy to do one for her, as soon as I finished my exams. IŽm also one member of the Antje-Tape club. Morrissey is playing here !!! unbelievable. This old chap has never been there in his solo career and now is playing, and I thin k that is for helping his economical, as he seems not to have enough with those TV comercials that you werew talking about these days. Oh, thereŽs one in Spain from Renault with a tune vaguely familiar of Joy DivisionŽs "Love will tear us apart". Bye !!

Evening All. My pal just called me to say that All Tomorrow's Parties has been cancelled. Seems it was announced on the Steve Lamacq programme.

good evening sinister boys and girls, how are you all doing? i am alright. it is now 6 pm, and i have yet to change out of my pajamas. actually the only productive thing i can remeber doing all day is watching a vh1 special on motley crue, and finishing off a box of frosted flakes. how sad..now i am cooking pasta and vodka sauce, my favorite, so i am hoping after i eat to actually venture outdoors, maybe go to the drugstore and buy the new cosmo...i must say i am quite envious of all you sinister kids in england getting together all the time. didnt someone say something about a meetup of us american east coast sinisteries? i am in the philly/jersey area...i think i am going to go to the video store to rent trainspotting. ahh that ewan mcgregor, he is so hot! and his cute little scottish accent makes him even more irresistable...i just realized that is is september! and you know what that means! pumpkin pie season is starting. i love the fall. mm its the best time of year. i should start planning out my halloween costume. last year i was an angel, but i froze my arse of in that stupid costume, that thin little gown sure didnt help keep me warm in the 10 degree weather. i think this year i would like to be hello kitty, but how i would actually dress up like hello kitty is beyond me...alright i must go, my dinner sauce is on the stove cooking. bye dears. xoxo, lauren +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: i'm in love with a girl who has no accent....
by Blake E. Hamilton 05 Sep '99

05 Sep '99

it rings loudly when i'm asleep, thrice, and then silence.... well the remnants of hurricane dennis are crawling along the east coast of the US today. though the storm is moving at several miles an hour, it seems to have staked a claim directly above my head. and it hasn't moved. i just went out and picked up a copy of a music magazine entitled Structure, and what do you know, it has an interview with dear ms. Isobel in it. i'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this before, but if someone wants it transcribed, i'll type it up and post it to the list. it's quite darling actually. the magazine itself is a bit odd--the reviews are terribly short and non descriptive. a bit like Q. has anyone heard the new tindersticks record? will there even be a US release? i can't find it anywhere. so which music magazines are read by listees? i'm merely curious, and not a sheep, just trudging along. all i can seem to find over here are old copies of rolling stone and spin. pure shite, i know. though this puncture find was interesting. it's got a big story on the flaming lips, with a killer cover photo of the boys. the soft bulletin is an album that i still have yet to fully appreciate. this is unlike mercury rev, which i loved upon first listen. this magazine did have a mogwai review that was right up my alley--it took several hundred times for me to really like come on die young. but now, i adore it. so what's the word on hefner? should i invest? i have so many cds that it makes me sick. well the magnetic fields unleash 69 love songs on tuesday, shall we have a release party of some sort? crumpets, as usual, are on the house, courtesy of sir blakie. i did just pick up bernard butler's solo record and it's great! sure lyrically it sounds like new suede, but the songs themselves are just lovely. hello? dc meetup at king's dominion? what is going on with this? hrm. i'm sure i have much more to say, but its relevance is surely misconstrued.... happy sundays blake xx the nerdy shy eyed pacifist ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ "I am not Jesus, though I have the same initials." - Jarvis Cocker +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: A Sinisterine with a soul ...
by Robin Carmody 05 Sep '99

05 Sep '99

Thanx to Megan for expressing precisely how I feel. It's easy to forget how much I love music, and there are times (such as listening to the first half-hour of the Top 40, a misfortune I had earlier) when you can swear the whole thing off, the passion is utterly dulled. But hearing Momus's Stars Forever again ... for the first time I'm in love. I've been feeling spiritually and geographically lost recently, struggling with so many problems. But reading this list reassures me, which is actually why I don't contribute that much. Will I be that good... hopefully. love on ya robin ------- "ring in the summer, boys, bring in the wheat let us laugh in the face of death" Momus, Minty Fresh +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: read only if you have a soul
by mkl206＠is8.nyu.edu 05 Sep '99

sometimes, between records or when i'm in a dry patch, i forget why i love music so much, almost (actually, sometimes past) the point of obsession. then something, normally just a single song, makes me feel alive, like i'd been dead or asleep for months and finally just woke up and remembered what was going on. how wonderful and amazing it is to be in love, and how heartbreaking sometimes, and how something so funny can be so true sometimes, and a million other things that constitute life but cannot possibly be dissected into anything resembling single emotions, because they only exist in tandem with a million others. in case you were wondering, i just got the new magnetic fields albums. there's a three cd box set. 69 love songs. the primary problem i'm having right now is wanting to listen to all three cds at the same time. selecting titles of individual songs is beside the point, i'd be naming at least half of the songs on the album, and it's only my second listen ( or maybe the first for this cd, i'm forgetting which is which ;). this isn't self-promotion, or even promotion for the band. this is a public service message. if you've ever loved anyone or anything, or had any desire to love, then you need to wrap yourselves in this music and hold on for dear life. next thursday and friday, the magnetic fields will be performing the 69 love songs over two nights at the knitting factory in new york. they will then launch a tour around the united states. if you are not lucky enough to live in one of these select areas, book your plane ticket now. this is something that money can buy. xoxox megan mkl206(a)is8.nyu.edu are we not men? we are magnetic fields. http://www.dissemination.com/megan/magneticfields/ updated 8/5/99 +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
