Sinister: accidents

Oh I know...I post way to much...I am just so in love with you all NEIL Neil, I am unfortunately pining for Joss and noodling with Michiyo on the side. Elisabeth gave Joss such rave reviews that I had to pour my little digital heart into his 0000s and 1111s. (We're trading mix tapes so 'haha no not really' - but he seems like such a sweet person.) ACCIDENT I'm still getting over hearing about a 63 vehicle pile up that killed 7 or so people near Detroit this side of the border...reading the papers made me ill...the screams, people on fire, a night of the living dead scenario...I cry when I see coverage of plane crashes...damn CNN, manipulative arses. There was just a memorial for the Swissair flight that turned into human soup off Peggy's Cove in Nova Scotia. Grisly in the press' fave word for that one. Off to grandma's this afternoon, everyone else managed to escape back to my gorgeous serene hometown of Ottawa...*sniff* RANCHO MY LOVE They wrote about Rancho's Soul Nights in the National Post this weekend...agh! They talked about it being 'mod' but it's actually quite casual and all sorts of people go...not terribly scenester...no fancy dancing either, shame. Bye all, staying here in Toronto has saved me from having my accent tainted...where's the 'kerrr' I mean 'kahr'? xo ea +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

dear "nonstop dancing fun" diary... :::pats tummy::: mmmm...i just had some hot veggie soup...yum...i am definitely a happy bunny now... :::sigh::: i think i am going to buy three hundred billion little belle and sebby pins with the boy flicking people off...he's so adorable...how can something that cute ever be considered vulgar? as of today i will give a two fingered salute to everyone i see! today is so shiny out...it's nice...i may actually venture outside...it would be a good day to carve hearts in trees...well, of course not trees that are still growing...that would be terribly mean...i am going to carve hearts in dead trees...such as picnic tables, playground equipment, staircases...which may be considered graffiti...but it's such adorable graffiti...how can i resist? especially since, "i'm in love for the first time...and i don't feel bad..." i feel so shy today for some reason...i think i'll go and curl up in my afghan before i make any decisions on whether i should be going outside... shy hugs... meganelise p.s. listen to ooberman...they will make your heart sing... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "the best gesture of my brain is less than your eyelids flutter" +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: "you can only go where the traffic goes"

good morning / good afternoon / good evening... i'm not sure what started me off on this thought ...yes i do ...i went to a record shop with a few friends from work ...and it was funny how different peple have different perceptions on whats cool and whats not cool ...i don't talk much about music at work but my friends know that i'm into music , i'm in a band and we have our own studio...but thats all they know...they know nothing about the music i make or the music that i listen to which is completely different. anyway ...were in the shop ...4 of us ...all making our selections i'm the last one to pay ...so the other 3 are looking at what i've got...my purchases were: Royal Trux -" veterans of disorder." its a 10 track promo for £2!!! a Foundry compilation - " will our children thank us " i'm already familiar with this 'cos a friend taped it for me a while back this was £5 ,good value i thought ...its got Piano Magic , Billy Mahonie , Appliance , Electric Sound of Joy + a few others. Salako - "the bird and the bag"...its a 1 track promo ...99p & its a cracking song too. V- Twin -" thank you baby "...not what i was expecting ...the only other V-Twin stuff i've got is " in the land of the pharoah's " & that was genius. so i spent about £10 in total ...not bad i thought...until the comments ..." richie's only buying that stuff to be different " " no he's not he's buying all that weird stuff so he can sample it " (this is referring to my music making exploits which is very sample based) now this annoyed me a bit 'cos they have no idea about that stuff that i do ...then it hit me ...they really do have no idea ... & my response was " at least i can go into a record shop ...& not feel lost " which did the trick & gave them something to think about. i love record shops ...i love shopping for records ...its 2nd nature to me ...i could be anywhere in the world but wherever i was i'd have one eye looking out for a record shop. its got nothing to do with cool or not cool...its personal taste ...there are people out there that have no interest in music ...it took me a long time to understand this... and there are people out there that are content with the sort of bands that you hear on the radio & thats fine too... & there are people like me that would die without music & the anticipation of hearing " that next band " i believe someone on this list likened it to an addiction...i'd go along with that... the thing is my friends at work might even like some of the stuff that i listen to ...but i don't think they would ever admit to liking anything that i played them...because then they would realise that i'm not so different after all & that i just like music...all kinds of music. the time is late ...my sleeping patterns are all messed up 'cos i've been working 17hr days for the last 3 weeks..., i finished work this morning at 7:30am went straight to the supermarket which is 24hr ...and remembered there was a picnic on Primrose Hill ...i bought assorted goodies went home & decided to stay awake until the picnic and then i promptly fell asleep or more like a coma ...for 18 hrs !!! the picnic is over ...i've got all sorts of cakes ...and tasty cookies ...so i'm going to have my own picnic ...in my front room... i've got a field mice tape playing back from '89 ...they sound a bit out of tune ...there are all sorts of problems with their drum machine...but they still sound fantastic ...next up a sea urchins tape from around the same time...i'll say goodbye i've got good food , good drink , good sounds ...etc etc ... sounds a bit like the perfect evening ( except its early morning ) if your in the area your welcome to join me...if not nevermind...all the more for me... ...richard... +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: P!articoloured O!ffbeat P!honology
by Perfection As A Hipster 05 Sep '99

05 Sep '99

Sinners, scenesters, fakers and lurkers, only thought I'd drop by for a couple of recommendations, my apologies in advance for not being in line with your regularly sheduled programme ... Cliff Richard isn't very popular these days, is he ? The Jazz Butcher are playing a couple of US shows over the next weeks ... September 09 - Troubador, Los Angeles, California 11 - Great American Music Hall, San Francisco, California 14 - Berbatis Pan, Portland, Washington 16 - Crocodile Cafe, Seattle, Washington 23 - Wetlands, New York, New York Attendance is highly recommended for anyone in the area, even if you don't have the slightest clue who they are ... for the initiated, they will play in the classic formation that recorded the second _A Scandal In Bohemia_ album back in 1984 and the choice of songs should be likewise. As regards contemporary P!O!P! treasury, Carrick C Blair wrote ... >But Jordi...There is a Ninotchka song on the somewhat recently >released Head In the Clouds CD compilation on Dreamy. It's only a >minute and a half long but its a nice one and a half minutes. The >rest the cd is amazing, especially the wonderful >Arco >and Graham >and Farina >and Jacques featuring Kirk Lake >and on and on. Rare as they are, worthwile recommendations must be seconded ... the "Longsighted" 7" by Arco was my favourite single of last year (the most beloved album being _Good Morning Spider_ by Sparklehorse) and even though the compilation album features the flipsides of the debut single only, the exclusive Graham songs are worth the admission price alone ... achingly beautiful melancholia for candlelight evenings. More information on the most promising new record label around is available at http://www.dreamyrecords.demon.co.uk ... or simply send £18 for Arco's "Longsighted" 7" and "Ending Up" CDs as well as the _Head In The Clouds_ CD (20 songs, no less) to Dreamy Records Ltd, 6 Kenilworth Road, London, W5 3UH, England and you won't be dissapointed. And while I'm here, the recently released _Heavy Black Frame_ CD by Tram on Piao! Records is another favourite in this vein. Finally, for those who missed out on the _Practical Footwear_ CD by Sodastream the first time around, a reissue on Tugboat Records is forthcoming ... how come that nobody ever mentioned the striking resemblance of Stuart Murdoch's voice on Karl Smith's excellent "The Sky Is Beginning To Bruise" solo 7" (Aquamudvuv Records/Bad Jazz Records) anyway ? "Must Say More" Andreas The rain it raineth on the just And also on the unjust fella But more upon the just because The unjust steals the just's umbrella (Charles Baron Bowen) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

<groan> Please don't let me talk about myself for too long. Did you get my last post? Only it doesn't seem to be on the archives. I'm basically just going to say quickly I wasn't at the picnic because my mother thinks you're all druggies. I did try to persuade her. I thought she was going to let me go but on saturday she went nuts.

Sinister: "i didn't mean to fall in love w/ you..oh baby but i just did"
by bUgleT 05 Sep '99

05 Sep '99

dear all.. tag said: >Bug, you should dump him. I'm sorry, I know you said we shouldn't >tell you that, but you should. Be strong, as strong as a woman. too late. the day after i posted the message [ie. thursday], i went to the jericho and he was there. i asked him if he would mind stepping outside for a minute to talk, and he agreed. so, we went and sat in the car park [well, i sat and he leant against a wall, but he ended up sitting], and i asked him what the fuck was going on. he then proceeded to tell me that he really couldn't be arsed to go out with me anymore, and spouted a whole load of bullshit about how he made all the effort and i didn't even show him that i cared etc etc etc. he also had a go at me about how he got really pissed off that one of my best friends [james] was always hanging around. i pointed out that this was because he was my best friend, but he just gave me a real evil and said "yeah, but he so blatantly fancies you". and then he told me that if i didn't stop making these mistakes [ie. alledgedly not caring and being around one of my best friends] then i'd never be able to hold on to anyone for more than a month or two. and he also said that he really didn't think we should stop talking over this, and then totally ignored me for the rest of the night. which was nice of him. i just got back from witney - playing a gig that he arranged supporting his band, stars of track and field. that was interesting. we [moonkat] played a very new song, written about four days ago about him......very obviously about him as well. and it had the words "love" and "baby" in it [see subject to this message]. hmmm. cassie said i was extremely brave to sing it seeing as everyone there were his friends. he was very sweet to me before we went onstage and asked me if i was ok, but then he ignored me again all night as soon as we finished playing. i hate men. i really do. i'm in a very bad mood. i don't think i've ever been so angry as i was onstage tonight. spitting hatred into the microphone ["you jerk you dick you fucking whore" - different song but he inspired tonight's performance of it]. but i still want him back. bollox. anyway, sorry..just had to get it all out of my system again.. tag, i saw about one minute of kevin rowland before we ran off in disgust to watch les rythmes digitales. they were very kool. i did see kevin's pervy dancers though. not nice. ok, i'm off to watch shitty stuff like 'friends' so i can shout abuse at the tv for their fake happy lives. life is krap - they know not of what they speak. apologies for any spelling/grammar mistakes in this - i've had rather a lot of vodka..... love you all *bug* i'll regret this in the morning.... ___________________________________________ ***the tiny zine on the net*** http://ds.dial.pipex.com/sage/tartrazine ***and the best band in oxford*** http://www.sage.dial.pipex.com/moonkat/ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Hiding, waiting.
by Frank-Aloysious Madrid 04 Sep '99

04 Sep '99

I have finally given up lurking and decided to express myself. Strange, after only a seemingly short while (2 months) of hardly being able to read my digest; I find so many new kids (curious new folk) in town. There's probably an even larger number in "Lurksville". The population of the girly persuasion seems to be a bit on the up and up also (and of the more interesting sort). That is healthy though, us Sinister boys like to have you more intriguing Sinister girls around for a crush or two. It's only natutal now, ain't it? What is chiefly on my mind is the fact that trying to organize a pickernick, meet-up, whatever, is becoming very difficult here in L.A. I could only hope for kind of support and interest in them that you folks have over the pond have on such a regular basis. I guess it is partly due to the number of fans (or should I say lack of fans) available to get together in the first place. I have met a few here and there, but realistically speaking, we couldn't be any further from prime B&S fan territory than here (don't get anal now and tell me Antarctica or something smart-arsed). I truly envy you kids in London with your oh-so-frequent meet-ups. I love the community spirit and fan solidarity and could use some over this way. I hate thinking that I am a lone Sinisterine so far detached from my home and loved ones (sniffle, sob, sigh). There are some damn snobby pop kids over here anyway!!! Maybe I am just getting bitter. I hope I find you all doing well, cheers, xoxoxo frankie - member of the Young Peoples Socialist League. http://votesocialist.org "I'm only going to ask once,.....................who wants a hug!!" ______________________________________________________ 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".
