Sinister: Lawrence's first post in absolutely ages.
by Lawrence Mikkelsen 18 Oct '00

18 Oct '00

remember me? I used to have a big rant every week or so, but have been in hiding for the last month or so. No reason really, except that I have written a few big posts and then deleted them, thinking they were bollocks. Still ... here I am, back at the ol' keyboard. Righto .... ***BELLE AND SEBASTIAN CHRISTMAS CAROL SHOCK*** Very interesting, although a little annoying. I hate buying albums for only one track. Abmitedly, the listing for this album looks really good, but nonetheless, it's the Belle & Sebastian track I *need*. Shame they weren't releasing a single instead. (sigh) And whilst on the subject of Belle and Sebastian and Jeepster, why don't i get new Jeepster newsletters anymore? Why, Mister Kitchen, why? I used to love getting all the new Belle & Sebastian gossip before it hit the pages of the NME. But in the last few weeks there has been the anouncement of this Christmas album, and also the new Gentle Waves album and EP, and from Jeepster I have not heard squat. What on earth is going on? Jeepster, I thought you owned my soul? Someone mentioned Orlando being signed to Jeepster, and was slagging Jeepster off. I have a couple of Orlando EPs, and I'm sure they're *not* on Jeepster. Nonetheless, quite liked Orlando actually .... ***CROATIAN WEDDINGS*** Been to a few over the last few weeks. (My beloved fiance is Croatian) They're scary, and I can undertand Isobel when she sings "and a family like the Mafia". Everyone at them wears lots of gold and kisses each other on both cheeks. I dread getting married, because I know that it'll end up as 'traditional Croatian wedding" with about 200 people I don't know, and my half-dozen or so friends. Still, if "My Wandrering Days Are Over" isn't played as we leave the church I won't go! It's my one 'non-negotiable'. ***NEW ZEALAND MUSIC*** For anyone who cares, I am seeing The Clean play tomorrow night! one of the worlds greatest and most influential indie bads, Woo-hoo. No offece to any Pavement fans, but I am sure there would be no Pavement were it not for The Clean. I am very excited ..... ***THE GO-BETWEENS*** Very little mention has been made of the new Go-Betweens album, "The Friends of Rachel Worth", which is a shame, because it's a damn fine album. (Possibly eclipsed by "Kid A" in terms of discussability on this list, I guess.) Anyway, go out and buy it - you won't be disappointed. Speaking of disappointed .... ***HEFNER'S "WE LOVE THE CITY"*** Hefner need your help. As some of you may know, there are *two* Hefners, the great indie stalwart we all know and love, on Too Pure, and also Hefner the solo artist, whose records apparently suck, so I am told. Anyway, on the www.amazon.co.uk "We Love The City" has had some really bad reviews from people who bought it thinking it was a new album by dull dance Hefner. So anyone who feels the urge, go to the www.amazon.co.uk site and write a glowing review of the album. At the moment there is only one "good" review and two bad ones saying "this Hefner sucks, buy records by the other one", giving it an average customer rating of only two stars. so ... CUBS - DO YOUR BEST. I'm sure Darren and chums will be very proud of you. hell, I've just submitted a review, and I haven't even heard the album yet. Hooray. ***SODASTREAM*** Bloody hell they're good. I finally got a copy of the "Enjoy EP" and it's genius. Everyone, go out and buy 'Looks Like a Russian". (You can get it on the same trip you buy "We Love The City" and "The Friends of Rachel Worth", for a fantastical weekend pop bonanza) ***SPRING*** All these people whining about Autumn. You shold come and live in the Southern hemisphere. The weather here in Auckland is GRAND right now. mmmm ... long evenings. Anyway, off to bed. Take care kids, and make Hefner proud, OK?

Sinister: Black fox fables
by julesmarkham 18 Oct '00

18 Oct '00

hey there twee and sinister ones! Well it's finally happened, 11 black fox fables and a smattering of scratchy little illustrations have been brought together in paper and card form. Yes, the black fox fables book 2;raindogs, is finally here! (and it only took me a year this time!) Unfortunatly as this copy has not been sponsored by an arts festival (long story) all the printing costs are coming out of my meagre finances, and I'm going to have to charge £2/$3 (Inc.p&p) for each book. But if that's too much cash, then some other trade, as I hate this whole money business anyway! so let me know if you want a copy jules x +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: what the hell are "jazzbo's skinny arms"?
by Phillip Runion 18 Oct '00

18 Oct '00

hello again, this is my first post to the list. honey never told me that i was let out of the nursery, so naturally, i just figured that i had been bad or something, and never tried to post. i've been reading posts for quite a long time however. First: sorry to bother G.W. with private posts pertaining to pish, if nothing else. Second: my introduction into the world of music began with none other than Snoop Doggie Dogg. Now i feel sorry for him (because he really has no talent and must look in the mirror and know it, that has to suck, yeah). My first ever absolute favorite band was blur. they still are in fact despite all that blur is shite business which is old, yes, but however right mogwai are now, nothing is better than modern life is rubbish; not even young team. I love B+S, but, ask myself sometimes nowadays, if I still do. Theory on the latest album: They deliberately put out a shit record to persuade mainstream junkies that they are really nothing special, but plan to return, when forgotten by all those undesirables, with none other than the best album ever made. Anyway, I will always love them, if not for everything else, than at least for Sleep the Clock Around (live version)and Like Dylan in the Movies. To people who may have went to George Watson's College (Isobel's alma mater, yes)in Edinburgh: I am one of the children who participated in the Scottish/American Exchange with the Harley School, if that rings a bell. There is a cemetery at the end of Prince Street (i think) with a life size statue of Abraham Lincoln atop a pillar, with a slave worshipping him. I stood next to Abe on a rainy monday evening. Finally, if there is anyone on the list who goes to University at Leeds, takes art classes, and knows Susan Berridge, please tell her hello for me. Not brilliant, but competent. yours, phil r _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Sinister: livid - pavement - melniks - nostalgic tape story
by green 17 Oct '00

17 Oct '00

This is my first Sinister letter, so welcome everyone. I'm about two weeks out of the nursery and drowning in lovely tweeness. At least now I've got something to do in those too-short-yet-too-long uni breaks that go for an hour. i like when people use headings... !!!LIVID!!! Any Listerines (has that term been used before?) going to livid wanna meet up? two places you'll definitely see me are Not From There and Yo La Tengo. Wearing my "the sounds, the sounds, they're beautiful!" texta tee-shirt. and probably cords. !!!THE MAGICAL TRAGEDY OF "ELVIS TAPE 1", STARRING PAVEMENT THE MELNIKS AND ME!!!! I love tapes; I adore winding them with a pen, I love fixing them when they're twisted, I love the way they go all wibbly in the middle of yr favourite song. Here is a story about my favourite tape. Several years ago, when my first girlfriend Gina came to my house for the first time, she brought two CDs and a video. The video was Dazed and Confused, the seedies were Wowee Zowee and the Melniks- "Have you ever noticed that Gordon from Sesame St looks exactly like Errol from Hot Chocolate?". I've probably got that title wrong. Anyone who knows the Melniks, you are cool. Anyone who likes the Melniks, you are truly HIP. So anyway, when she left i kept the seedies and taped them, on either side of a tape marked "ELVIS TAPE 1" with white typing on that red tape-gun stuff. Within a year, Gina was gone and the tape was wibbly. Then one day, the tape turned inside out, so everything sounded backwards. So I spent an hour one night winding it all out and putting it back in right. So I listened it again to reward myself for my hard work, and it reversed once more. Anyway, this process repeated over about 20 train journeys and long nights. Of course I couldn't get the seedies off Gina (although I did try) and of course I couldn't afford to BUY them. This was all last year. This year I have had several half-hearted attempts to make ELVIS TAPE 1 straighten up and fly right, but it kept confusing me, so I'd wind the whole thing thru, to find I had stuffed it and it was even more backwards (hmm???). BUT (the end is nigh folks!) last night I did it! I (sort of) fixed it! If only I could apply myself to unimportant crap like assignments in such a way! RAH! so i put it in the stereyereo and taped it straight away. Once Pavement song was completely stuffed, and several Melniks songs backwards, but still RAH! anyway, in this process, ELVIS TAPE 1 finally DIED a quite ugly death, all twisted and mangled and rustly-noise-making... but a very noble death for a tape! yes... and he lives on now, through TEAC 90. HURRAH!!!!! sorry. not sorry. ben:) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: "Win A Tweeshirt" Contest
by Brier Random 17 Oct '00

17 Oct '00

Welcome to the first installment of the hopefully-monthly "win a tweeshirt contest". We start with a nod to Seuss: A blue shirt? A red shirt? A yellow shirt perhaps? Yes yellow is the color of this shirt, forgive the lapse! Just be the lucky Sini-girl and you could really win it! It's made of golden thread and stuff, it's really cute, well innit? It beckoned to me from the rack, "Hey I'm a noble tee-shirt!" I looked it up & down and said "You might just be a twee shirt" So I decided that it *was* indeed the noblest and beautifulest of shirts.... but something not suitable for even a shy in-touch-with-his-girly-side boy like me to wear. I ran through a list of girls I know, and none would honor this shirt as much as some Sinister girl far away..... So go here to see it: www.homestead.com/brier/tweeshirt.html And the 9th person to request it (to liarthief(a)hotmail.com) will soon squeeze her lovely body into this masterpiece of clothery. The front says "World's Longest Living Scout Leader". Back has a *lovely* iron-on transfer of flowers. Girly sleeves too! It's size Large, made by "Peanut Butter Fashions". Suitable for fey student or truck-drivin' woman alike! Winner will receive this shirt AT NO COST TO YOU THE CONSUMER!!! That means free worldwide shipping if you think you have what it takes to own this shirt. And maybe the winner can be persuaded to post a pic of herself wearing it in the "Things i wore in school today Mummy" section. You must be the NINTH caller to receive this fabulous prize. Don't delay. Act now. Supplies are limited. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Somebody must know something
by Kerr, David 17 Oct '00

17 Oct '00

Helloha People I know that this is becoming quite an old subject now but I haven't been able to stop chuckling all day. So before I go on I apologise for the huge lack of content and hope this doesn't upset anyone. Just this morning one of my esteemed colleagues just happened to do a Roland Rat impression. Well after all the talk about old cartoons etc I thought that some of you splendid people would be able to help me out. I've been looking on the internet for some sound files and haven't been able to find any although I did find a beginners guide to Roland Rat. Does anyone here no a good website that might have some Roland Rat sound files? Ever since this morning I've had spontaneous bursts of the giggles which has attracted some strange looks from the people in my office. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I spank you all in advance Peace Out Davie +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Do Re Me (Forget About The Do And Think About Me)
by Pauline L. Shivers 17 Oct '00

17 Oct '00

Tuesday! I like that day... Tu-n-esday! I'm back from the spa I went with Daniel. Oh! I had a great time, I can assure you! Daniel is perfect; he even likes Belle and Sebastian! And in between talking about Heideger, snogging, and having our bodies massaged by experts who used all kinds of oils and massage techniques, he did confess his love for me!! I never felt happier in my whole life! And I have led a very exciting life till now, mind! But I'll tell you more about Daniel and my plans to go back to England and live there with him in my next post 'cause now I have to answer to some fellow sinistereenians and shed some light to this mystery named "Pauline L. Shivers"; which is actually no mystery at all!! I'm just a girl who lives in Prague! What's so mysterious about it? I keep receiving emails from people asking me about myself, call me a 'bullshiter'(OK, that was a praise actually coming from this certain person whom I find very charming), insulting me some more assuming that my name is a bloody anagram! Many of them asked me that... Once and for all: I'm not an anagram! Do you think I'd be so plain and with no imagination at all to just use an anagram as a name? anyone can do that! there are bloody machines in the net that do that for you, for christ's sake!! aah people! you don't give me the credit I deserve... So, I'll make an exception just this once and go to certain posts: Miss Juicy Bruisy Lucy said: > And finally, I think Mark should invite Pauline > > > Shivers to get up on the stage at the next > Tigermilking. I'm sure she'd give a floorshaking > > > performance. According to this website, she > sounds expensive, but she's really quite cheap, hehe. According to this site Pauline Shivers is a soul, I reckon, singer! Blimey! I had no idea! and she's quite expensive, where as - and Lucy is right here - I'm quite cheap! I just hope the singer Pauline is black so she will be my yang and I'll be her ying! you know... black-white expensive-cheap! And I'd love to get up on the stage of the next Tigermilking! I couldn't possibly sing but I could entertain you in many other ways, far more interesting than singing! I could do a Patti Palladin thing though singing "let me entertain you, let me show you a really good time"! But I'd definetely need someone to do the Johnny Thunders' bit! any offers? And then PFave sinee listee, typed: <>Frauline S. Livers<> I liked Frauline, but Livers?? Frauline's a bit fruity and juicy but Livers? it's a bit ticklish but still reminds me of butchers! >>>My fave sinister listee, PF, seems to have landed in a more *real* world! I miss the old PFantastic, sur-real-istic era!<<< > a) that's very nice of 'her' - I think. Of course it is nice of HER! and it is a 'her'!! what's all this? first my name, then my sex!! I'm deeply hurt! > b) If I didn't know better, I would suspect that FSL > was a name for the boy Trouss�. But even I know > > > better than that. The boy Trouss�, whoever he is, takes far more credit than he deserves! this name is mine! what does a boy, and especially one called Trouss�, which means something silly in french which I cannot remember right now, has got to do with a glamorous, aristocratic, witty, fatal girl like myself? PFlamboyant-ish, you're lucky I have a week spot for you and your posts... > c) It's true that the pinefox has become more > > > > > 'realistic' in its modes and fixations. But the > > > > reason is surely obvious. He first says that, leaving me all dissapointed believing that the PFantastic era's gone and won't be returning and then goes on saying: > I am under the > hard-to-avoid nfluence of Yo La Tengo. Tengo's gritty > meditations on post-industrial > Japan return us to 'the real' with new questions, or > at least fluorescent question marks. La Tengo - or > > 'Yo' as s/he is sometimes known in his native land - > writes an unsparing prose of tautness and urgency.

But one thing's > > for sure - someone, > somewhere [in summertime] is keeping it ReaL. You see? He did it again!! He just left me swooning after reading this paragraph! Can you see the references? can you see the semiotics? I don't know who Phil Lynott and Gary Moore are though... should I know them? I don't think so! Or like Stephin Merritt would say "a little fear, a little sex" and I'm done with it for now, that is. And then the sweetest Jen typed whilst making bubbles with pink soap, wearing a lavender jumper and having chewed bubblegum on her hair that bad boys in school threw on her: > Ps. There's a lady called Mrs Shivers there. Pauline > L, any relation? Yes, there might be a relation! What's her first name? Is it Leonora? If it is, she might be my grandmother! Oh it's a long and sad story that's bound to bring tears to your tweeyes! Leonora was married to my granfather Egon! Egon was the child of my great grandfather, Stephan, who ran away with the maid, remember? When disinherited Stephan left our country he went to England and started all fresh; his son from the maid, Egon, was married to Leonora and had my dad! Leonora was a school teacher somewhere near Edinburgh! My grandfather met her during a business trip and fell in love with her! She was so pretty! But when grandpa Egon died and Big Aunt Myrtles invited us all back to Prague, she didn't include grandma Leonora to the invitation; she didn't want her to come back to Prague; you see, she wanted us to go back but she wouldn't like any reference to our family's dark secret; and Leonora wasn't going to keep her mouth shut! she was a very independent woman, always saying what she had in her head! She'd never obey to Aunt Myrtles' orders and desires, like my spineless dad does! She didn't want to come to Prague with us either! Instead she went to live with her younger widower brother! So, I don't know! Maybe Jen's Miss Shivers is my grandmother! Is she peeing on her bed Jen? That is all for now! I have to run! we're going for horseriding with Althea, Daniel and their cousin who's just arrived from England, Violette! She's very sweet and aristocratic, but quite demure, even though I have seen her lingerie collection and it really is saucy! But more about that in my next post! I'm so late!! Pauline L. Shivers that makes sinister all quivers she's that aristocratic slag who lives and reigns in Prague __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Sinister: you're moving with your aunty and uncle in bel-air
by alix campbell 17 Oct '00

17 Oct '00

Hello This keyboard is wobbly. Ive just worked out how to use the printers in here. Possibly going to be very useful in the future. Im always very impressed with things when they get printed. See, first theyre up on the monitor and thats hardly an existence, especially if, like me, you lose files easily. I think they hide behind the back of the computer. But then, you go and print, and its like a book, which is real and you can pick it up, and even destroy it should you need to. And it looks so tidy, so very much more tidy than anything I could ever handwrite. Hurrah for printers! Ive got an awful sore throat. True, its not quite consumption, but it is annoying. I feel like keeling over. Mucus will follow. It always does. And I still cant see the point in mucus. I think I brought this up last year (sic (sick)). If I cant comprehend mucus how will I ever understand how airplanes stay in the air? Is it because they have air in their name? No, it isnt because then bi planes would have to fly in bi people. Or bicycles. It simply isnt feasible. Imagine the havoc! I am glad that Lucy has publicly revealed what shes been using Nicks room for. Do you like moths Nick? Im also glad that Lucy has gone mad. It suits you dear. Last night I too went mad and let Mark cut my hair. It looks ok though and I still have all my eyes! Would anyone like to come on holiday with me in the Lake District? I have every intention of going. It has hills, I believe. I shall take my roller skates. And plenty of bandages! I m terribly excited about this Christmas album thing. Actually, Im not, because enthusiasm is dreadfully over rated and I try not to indulge in it. I do like a Christmas album though. Last year I listened to Phil Spectors each time I was engaged in anything at all festive. What great fun! Anyway, I must go and prepare myself for a thrill some lecture, and find some water so I dont have one of those coughing fits where you cannot stop and your life flashes before your eyes and you get very embarrassed. Oh no! Good day lix _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Sinister: grrls of distinction: shy violet, manda rin and me ;-D
by Katy Stevens 17 Oct '00

17 Oct '00

hello leedle kidz!! what a day hey?? not only did i attend the funeral of a great-grandmother whom i barely knew and didn't care to due to her DISAPPROVAL of my mother and all she stood for --scandal!! this should be on some rubbish soap centered around kids from the 'wrong side of the tracks' -- something like THE HEIGHTS - ha!!! do we all remember that?? with that Jamie Bloggs guy who sang some pathetic college rock songs ... hey! that must be me!!! i'm that kid!! hehe... Anyway not only did I have to go to a funeral in which I didn't belong back but I also had a meeting with my film lecturer who says she is going to get me published in an academic journal... ha!! and i'm only an undergrad! what bollocks right?? well it's a funny, nice, sweet thought even if she is temporarily insane... List-wise though i do actually have something worthwhile (questionable...) to contribute: >From: "Amy Jackson" <angelfairybelle(a)hotmail.com> >Subject: Sinister: summer dies/autumn arrives > >AND!! i saw manda rin from bis twice this week! yeah, i know, it's bis... >but i want to be manda almost as much as i want to be emma pollock from the >delgados. well a funny thing about this is that when bis came to sydney way back in 97 for a tiny promo visit (they played one tiny show and another tiny instore) i was having a bit of a chat with manda and steven and some guy who was with em butted in and kept exclaiming that if manda had blonde hair ( my natural colour which i happened to have very briefly at that point) then she would look just like me, which resulted in communal agreement and encouragement. this was exceedingly bizarre as i had had many a local indiekid tell me the same thing but to hear it from tha grrl herself was exceedingly bizarre -- i figured it was only because we are both shorties, with bobbed hair and we look about 5 years younger than we actually are...and i still stand by that!!! hehe . but it seems that i'm 'one of those people' who always get singled out as looking like 'some other person'. Fr'instance : a cousin who was killed in a car accident (spooky! i don't feel entirely comfortable with this); christina ricci ( i have black hair now which encourages the comparison and we have similar looking eyes); and someone's friend from first year and etc etc, the list goes on... I don't get it yet i must *endure* it daily, she exclaims with hand raised dramatically to forehead.. >From: JENOWL22(a)aol.com >Subject: Sinister: Rainbow brite, see the shining light, star's gonna take >you to rainbow bri-i-ite > >RAINBOW BRITE!!!... >The best colour kid is Shy Violet. She has knee high socks, and big glasses. >She should be on sinister. i had a very cool Shy violet doll -- she smelt like that funny synthetic grape smell and she was as purple as can be. if only i was still in possession I could help you out Jen but , alas! my nanna got rid of her in a neurotic "spring cleaning" about 7 or 8 years ago and i didn't discover her absence until a couple of weeks later when she had been shipped off to some unknown destination... <sob>. poor old violet she was always such a great pal, smelling that smell to the very last... enough witty banter i say!! time to move on !! and so i go.. xkaty * * "What if everything is an illusion and nothing exists?
