Sinister: Rejoice! Rejoice!

Oh, bless them! 'O Come O Come Emmanuel' was always my favourite advent hymn. It's been years since I've been at a pre-Christmas church service to hear it. Reminding myself of the words on the web, I discovered that the translation I always sang ('[...] Redeem thy captive Israel') is less widely used than one that goes 'And ransom captive Israel.' There's lots on the web about the O Antiphones and related issues. See http://www.stpetersnottingham.org/hymns/emmanuel.htm for example. Low's 'Just like Christmas' is lovely too. Good old Beepster.

Sinister: Yay! New Stuff!

Hello everyone I've just found this snippet of information on the NME website, which you might possibly find of interest. Unfortunately, it seems we're not to be treated to a release of Middle Distance Runner at last, but I ain't complaining because they've recorded the carol with the greatest potential for smut. Point your cursors here: http://nme.com/newsdesk/20001017102142.html I'm back to normal today Juicy Lucy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Bon dia, Em dic Elena i visc a Barcelona. Tinc dos germans i conec el Jordi. I bet Babelfish or Auntsadie won't help much on this but that roughly means "hello I am Elena and live in Barcelona. I have 2 brothers and I know Jordi" Yeah it's not full of logic but catalan is not easy, ask Mr Miller to do better :) So, Mr Jordi, don't you tease me again, because if you do I will wear my Teletubbies costume on Friday to jump in front of the stage AND will shout at Darren in catalan.

hi sinister, hope everyone's doing well. i don't really have anything special to say, just felt too bored. yes i'm wasting time, mine and probably urs too. i'm just trying to stay away from my chinese philosophy reaadings, i'm cramming for the midterm tomorrow for which i know tonight is going to be another sleepless night. its all interesting and stuff, i'm just not in the mood of absorbing the allusive and fanciful ideas of Taoism right now after one afternoon's stuffing my head with Confucianism. i'm listening to kid a and i just want to lie down and not think about anything. but i can't. i can't fail tomorrow's exam, its going to look bad if i don't get above average. they'll think i'm stupid. why am i chinese? i will go back to my readings now. i've already wasted 2.5 hrs. liqin ps. to avoid plagiarism: i found the sentence of my subject line in my orgo textbook, 'organic chemistry,' written by paula bruice. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Albums: B&S - If You're Feeling Sinister Gang of Four - Entertainment Radiohead - Pablo Honey Eels - Daisies of the Galaxy Hefner - Fidelity Wars Songs: Alternative Ulster - Stiff Little Fingers Anthrax - Gang of Four Transmission - Joy Division Hello Kitten - Hefner Seeing Other People - Belle and Sebastian A New England - Billy Bragg One More Time - Joe Jackson Thinking About You - Radiohead Eternal Life (road version) - Jeff Buckley Reward - The Teardrop Explodes The Hymn For The Cigarettes - Hefner Expectations - Belle and Sebastian She's Losing It - Belle and Sebastian Should I Stay Or Should I Go - Clash Velocity girl - Snow Patrol Teenage Kicks - The Undertones You Just Haven't Earned It Yet Baby - The Smiths Wouldn't It Be Nice - Beach Boys Groups: Joy Division Jeff Buckley Smiths Belle and Sebastian Hefner Radiohead Gang of Four Eels Thanks for the distraction Ps.

Sinister: grrrr
by John Maxwell 16 Oct '00

16 Oct '00

Hey.I'm going down to glasgow tomorrow.Everything's packed, all is going to plan. then..... I dropped my mobile walking upstairs. It's refusing to come back on now. It won't turn on without the charger on. Even then it will only come up saying "check sim!" It will charge fine, but it won't do anything else. Damn I've only just realised how much I actually depend on that phone nowadays. It's going to make it all the more difficult to meet up with Jen. I know someone with the same phone, and this has happened to them, more than once I'm sure. I remember that it worked again eventually, but i'm not sure if mine will.I have got it insured, but i need it for tomorrow and the rest of the week.I probably have to make a claim for a new one which will take ages. I could ask some of you to tell me if this has ever happened to you, but I'll be in Glasgow by the time that I'll be on this again. I just hope a miracle happens during the night.This has been a real dampener to coming down to the city. I can only beg for it to work.At least lights come on and stuff. I thought about dropping it again to see if it would work, but then it might be totally fucked.

Sinister: Rainbow brite, see the shining light, star's gonna take you to rainbow bri-i-ite
by JENOWL22＠aol.com 16 Oct '00

16 Oct '00

Hewwo, >From the subject line, you know what's coming next... RAINBOW BRITE!!! Any one remember that? It was a kid's tv progmramme in the late 80's/early 90's about this girl called Wisp, and she found a magical rainbow belt, and she became Rainbow Brite, and she freed this horse that was trapped in ice and it became her magic horse, and then she freed all the colour kids and restored colour to Rainbow Land, and then everyone that lived there had adventures? I used to be obsessed with it, only the toys were really hard to get, and I had a Rainbow Bright, and her horse, and Patty O'Green (the green colour kid) and I still have them ,and I was telling Ian about this and he found me an ace Rainbow Brite website, and now I've become all in love with Rainbow Brite and all her colour kid friends. And it's grate. And I found a massive Rainbow Brite doll in a shop today, and it was 15 pounds, and I frowned and made puppy dog eyes at the lady in the shop until she gave me it for 7 pounds 50 pence. And I'm well pleased. And I've been going about with a purple star on my cheek all day today. And now my mission is to collect all the colour kids dolls. So if anyone sees any, let me know. The best colour kid is Shy Violet. She has knee high socks, and big glasses. She should be on sinister. The other best colour kid is Stormy, who is a sort of goodie, but with serious attitude. She says "I never had the chance to make things bright and colourful" and I love her for that. Both Stormy and Shy Violet have purpley grey hair. I made Ian embarass himself in his History class, because I put the Rainbow Brite theme tune into his head, and he sang it out loud in a lesson. I am very excited about Wednesday, because I am meeting John the Sinister Kid and I am going to Laserquest with him, and he is going to wear make-up and glitter and a feather boa (not THE feather boa though), and we will spread tweeness to glasgow and play ultra-violent computer games, as all indie-kids do. For halloween I am going to be a lesbian Jedi knight in a ballgown, who uses the force to fly on a hoover. What do you think? I was in the music shop today asking about the FISHYCLAP music book, and the supplier who was in was saying that his friend's son was in Belle and Sebastian only I didn't ask who his friend's son was. I wish I had now. He was also saying about the real reason B&S took time out, only I don't believe him, though it was probably true. I have to go now and fix my little brother's computer, because he's killed it again. Hugs, Jen Ps. YAY it's half term! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: What is an adjective?
by Beth Tilston 16 Oct '00

16 Oct '00

Hey kittens Thought I'd make my bi-annual peek from around the curtains of lurker-dom to harrass all you poor sinisterinies. Hope you are all alright and that you are wrapping up warm. Hot toddy is always good at this time of year. See... what I want is some help. I have this thing that I have to do and I, well, I want you lot to do it for me. See I have to write a textual analysis of a song for my pop music class (and you call this work beth???). I chose Judy and the Dream of Horses. I have to come up with adjectives to describe struan's voice. Now, despite getting an A in my english language gcse, I don't know what an adjective is. So far, I have come up with 'earnest'. Is this even an adjective? Opinions on this would be muchos apprieciated. 'Whimsical'.......... I dunno! Also, what is the thing about belle and sebastian? Why do people like them? If you could use words like 'subtextually' and 'juxtaposition', words that a pretentious student would understand, that would be much apprieciated. Ok, that's all. Sorry to bother y'all. If there's any listees from lesta, come and see me in the waterstones on market st on mondays, thursdays or saturdays. I am the freakishly tall girl behind the counter on the first floor. Love beth xxx P.S. - What has happened to Jen, she has not emailed for a while. Have the old ladies cooked her in a pie and eaten her? The old bitches. P.P.S. - Hey to devonshire toby if you're still out there. ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
