Sinister: make a new cult every day
by Owen Lowery 14 Jan '00

14 Jan '00

'allo chums In a bid to look not too twee I would like to point out that I didn't get picked last for games at school...In fact I was always first picked for cricket (hmm what was I saying about not being too twee) and picked quickly for football (mainly cos I was a goalkeeper and nobody else wanted to go in goal). This of course means that I am now viewed as sporty by some people especially now that I have to take care of my fingers when goalkeeping so that I don't break them before the uni cricket teams tour (I didn't know they played much cricket in Barcalona but that's where we're going) as they are needed if you're a spin bowler (the tweeest of all jobs in cricket). by the way is tweeest the correct spelling or tweest? I'd like to take this opportunity to say that Rob was damn right...Peter Reid is God. I had a nutter talk to me on the bus today, she said I looked like I was in a boy band, I think she meant it as a compliment but who knows. Actually I was once mistaken for a member of Boyzone (not sure which one) by a girl at her 6th birthday party, I had to explain to her nicely that I wasn't which was quite difficult as I was being put off by the girls mum who fell off her chair laughing. I also got told that I looked like Hugh Grant the other month (It was my mother who laughed at that one). It's very strange people saying that I look like good looking people, and it's a few years since anyone told me I looked like Rodney Trotter or Albert Steptoe. It freaks me out though, I'm not used to being considered as anything other than bloody ugly, it's hard to adjust to just being 'a bit funny looking' I've taken up far too much of your time and not mentioned B&S once (oh look I just mentioned tham thats good) I'm going back home untill February tomorrow so goodbye till then and a special goodbye to whoever gave me the listcrush vote. love and hugs owen with that the narrow wizard buggered off. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)missprint.org".

Sinister: It's Trad W, Dad
by robhalcrow＠lineone.net 14 Jan '00

14 Jan '00

I said (only to myself) I wasn't gonna post anymore. If you can't trust yourself who can you trust? Trad W gave me awful visions of a groaning Acker Bilk. Would he take his bowler hat off? B&S on The Tube was all very well but the real highlight in this house was "Cheer Up" Peter Reid in the bar with Macca. Alright, in the background round the corner, then. (Indie Pop Stars On Trains Part2: On the way to Sunderland to see them nearly beat Man U I shared the air (in and out of unwholesome lungs) with Gene's Martin Rossitter). Peter Reid is a Messiah of sorts. As for the other one, my brother (who is dep.ed of The War Cry y'know) told me he reckons Christ himself got 'inebriated' cos when the Pharisees accused him he didn't bother to deny it. And didn't they get through a lot of wine? Cliff might have to rethink his next release. The old/new music thing..... When people did last try specifically to come up with a new way of writing music they got 12 tone (10 more than The Specials admittedly) and that's pretty near unlistenable, isn't it? All there really is, it seems to me is new mixtures of old ingredients. Being new isn't a virtue in itself. For me, I love a blinding tune, which is something timeless. That's what drew me to B&S in the first place. Regardless of lyrics Stu M has a great way with a tune. Someone said bass players get the weird groupies. So if any weird groupies want to get in touch............ I'm surprised no-one on the list mentioned Hal Hartley's The Book of Life on BBC 2 (sorry non-British people). I only watched it cos Sinister people had raved about him. I thought the story was intriguing and PJ Harvey did a good job as Mary Magdalene. The music worked very well. My only problem was the slow jerky blurry camera. It was really.......unnerving? distracting? annoying? So much to say, so little of interest so I'll leave it there. Remember: fool's approval stings. Yours Rob.

Sinister: dancing wanker
by Angel Blackwell 14 Jan '00

14 Jan '00

I was last to be picked at games when I was little because I was a very, uh, large child and asthmatic (though they thought I was just fat and outta shape.) Then I solved that problem, in Grade 10 I took dance instead. A now 6' 125lb Angel became graceful. I think I cleared up the debate of whether or not I was gay right then and there...heehee. I did my exam to Depeche Mode, I was sooooooooo gay. My boss officially had LL Painter Jane banned from my warehouse. Ooops. And my trashcan sinatras album finally bit the big one. They let me play labradford and godspeed you black emperor cuz they just don't understand it at all... Big hugs out to all the flu sufferers...I think I may have missed out on it, but I called my Gran in Manningtree to make sure she's okay. It's so cute, she hears a male Canadian accent and automatically she thinks I'm my dad. So cute. I had a letter to the editor printed in Xtra this week. I sound like a real bitch, I'm happy. It was a comment about homos embracing religion...I think I made a few people angry. I was going to get in on the whole originality/significance of pop but I only have an English degree so I'm not very academic... :) the angel blackwell...

Sinister: mystery solved!ish
by Pamela Hutchinson 14 Jan '00

Hello to the scintillatingly sinful sinister masseev steve said: *noone knows* if dirty den is rilly dead or not and I chuckled cruelly cos I know where dirty den is. Or was, recently. He was down the bottom of my road. By the canal, yeah, next to the pub. not Leslie Grantham, Dirty Den. Cos He was wearing the coolest long black coat and glowering, WHILE gesturing at an office building that had been tarted up to look like a nitespot. In a kind of - 'all this is mine now, Queen Vic? Pah! I've moved on.' the very next day he was gone and so was the nitespot. And I'm not dreaming cos I had one of my henchmen with me. And he'll back me up. probably. Elizabeth Daplyn attractsnutters. Mmmmm, I'm going to see a gig with her tomorrow nite. Please don't ban me from the pop quiz, Mark. How else will my record collection grow? Seriously though, Tigermilking was such fun. thank you. Steve also said: > Is there anyone on the list who WAS NOT picked last at games? ME!! I were great at rugby, til I got sent off for swearing about five minutes into every single match. Why did the man never catch on? B+S Content! I didn't go to Bowlie and I won't go to ATP. It's just too expensive (and bowlie clashed with my exams, but that were a bit convenient for the overdraft). Is it not unreasonable to ask the band to play affordable gigs? I just worry that they'll get into some insular grateful dead type thing where they only play at their own overpriced fessies. then I'd never see them unless I devoted my life to them, and fab as they are, I'm not ready for that kind of commitment - not to eight slightly secretive strangers. god, I'm a bitch. thanks for providing a nice place where I can exercise my mean mouth, Honey! love and hugs to all the ill people pamela xxx PS Could clever people mail me with valentine's day film suggestions for my college society. Yes, Gregory's Girl is in the catalogue - I'm pondering it. -- * glampam - she does it naturally * +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)missprint.org".

Sinister: I'm the baddest natural predator you ever saw!
by Sarah Clarke 14 Jan '00

14 Jan '00

Hello Wankers, The Traditional W is obviously HAVING A WANK. Get over it. And I'm sick of so much cute and cuddliness! As a result of which, I've decided to do my own personal Pinochet and destroy everything in a load of purges (like GODZILLA but with military uniforms) and then give everyone something to moan about so you can be BAD TEMPERED like me. Grr, arrg.* Hey Steve, I wasn't always picked last in PE. Thats because I was either skiving off, or me and my mates had just ignored the pickings and joined our own team anyway. I was GRATE at PE according to my PE teacher. She must have been on LSD. Perhaps that would be fun, no? Newness in music? Don't be so ACADEMIC for gods sake, how can music be talked about as new when with each leaden sentence you're making it seem more like a hallowed piece of poncing by Yeats! Don't try and define what NEW is in regards to music - music right, it COULD be the place for sharp definitions. For what is right and what is wrong, what makes money and what doesn't, but its not! Music deals in UNSPECIFICS for the majority and its those shades of grey, heck, pink orange green blue yah de yah that make it so Fantastic. That never stops me from trying to deal in specifics though. I'm just so post-modern, and paradoxical, and poetic! Speaking of which, I'll get round to the poetry parrot....later. I had this poem by John Clare which I liked. Unfortunately the poem was not commited to memory and I left it back at home. It is a good pome though. Even though he has a GURLS last name. Ha! What I'm against is turning Music into Poetry, and the resultant fawning and 'intellectual debate' that results as which. Of course I like intelligence and wit and STUFF in my P!O!P!, but too often people turn it inverse. IE, intelligence becomes 'intelligence' and 'wit' and thus, BOLLOCKS. The Beauty of Pop is in its paradoxes. Don't discuss, else we'll turn into a GCSE 'Popular Music Studies' exam, NEAB Syllabus. And its too SPECIAL for that to happen. Sod off I'm ill, wankers, Love you anyway Sarah xo * That really DOES lose its emphasis when you know its the name of kittens.. ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: top trojan tunes
by Claire Timmins 14 Jan '00

14 Jan '00

Hello the masses. I have a dream...It is that you lovely bunch make your twice a year appearance at the next, and perhaps the best...IN-TUNE. On January the 21st at the 13th Note Cafe, Kings Street, Glasgae, In-Tune returns providing a fuzzy range of punk, funk, disco, trojan and 70's rock. These fearsome genres will be offered to you by a lurking KEITH Watson, no. 48 MICK Cooke, perhaps even a healthier ALASDAIR Cooke (Mick's brother), a surprise guest and ME. Hope that you can make it, it'll be cheap, both entry and booze and women. It'd be good to see you guys, I'm off to the depths of sheffield in a couple of weeks so need to have things to be homesick about. see yous later folks, take care, Claire** ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)missprint.org".

Sinister: Nalda Said
by Alan Singfield 14 Jan '00

14 Jan '00

NALDA SAID The voice in my head reading it was Stuart David's, thats for sure. It's a charming little book, and a natural progression from his spoken word stories. Does that sound pretentious? I hope so; the last book review I wrote was when I was at school and I don't think it was much better! TRADITIONAL W By "W", I assume we are referring to the dying Traditional Werthers Original custom. This involves discretely passing a sticky brown sweet to a friendly partner, exchanging winks, then giving them a damn good hand shandy in full view of the congregation. The custom is dying due to most of the practicers either a) going to prison or b) receiving treatment for RSI. BUT WE AT SINISTER CAN REVIVE IT! By posting sweets to each other, and using the remote wanking machine, we will preserve the Traditional W well into the 21st century! Back to lurking, Spanners. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)missprint.org".
