Sinister: That makes you seem so white today
by Alasdair Cook MC1996 10 Oct '00

10 Oct '00

Hello Sinister. Due to certain things happening involving people changing rules so as to fuck me over slightly and not let me do the last year of the course I want, I'm leaving uni. But moaning is for, er, moaners, so lets stop all that. The upshot of it all is that I lose free internet access (sob) so until I can afford to actually buy a decent computer (possibly a while) I'll have to use these internet cafes I've heard so much about. Apparently they serve you tea on a silver platter, and it doesn't even matter if you spill it on the keyboard, they just bring out another one. And it only costs 57p, even if you stay on Sinister chat for the whole day talking to people you've never met, trying to make them think you're cool and handsome. So my new address for this purpose is allycook96(a)hotmail.com. So any abuse in future should be sent to there. I'll stay on Sinister as well, which is probably not a good idea as I won't want to actually spend too much money so I'll probably just skim over them all, and just spend my time reading all my old posts in the archives, feeling good about how amazingly witty and interesting I used to be, before I became really dull. Unless I discover that I was always really dull, which is probably more likely. Anyway. Alder (Yeah yeah, that's what they called 'er): > Having mentioned Scots, it would probably be wise to gloss over the part of the afternoon that > involved Germans, a muddy pitch and Kevin Keegan. No, I don't think that would be wise at all. I mean come on, it's not often England are the ONLY British team to lose. And to the worst German side in a very old person's living memory. He he. And Kevin Keegan's "I'm crap" speech in his interview afterwards was one of the strangest and best things I've seen on TV for ages. Yes, I know Scotland are still going to get gubbed by Croatia. Lowery (Yeah yeah, it's looking awful showery): > and I guess I'm just gonna be single for a while > and that's cool. Cough! Splutter! Sorry. Robinson (Yeah yeah, he really is a Nobinson): > Ally, you nicked my slugs and snails can I have them back? Or at > least feed them some crab sticks, they like them. No. Piss off. Pinefox (Yeah yeah, when he plays guitar he really rocks): > I can't swallow properly. It's the Eskimo saliva in your throat. I know.

Sinister: crispy autumn feelings.
by Le'Nise Brothers. 10 Oct '00

thanksgiving is such a funny time. forced family interaction to eat food that will make my lactose-intolerant, pseudo vegan tummy sick anyway. so i stayed at school. i don't know if i'm the only one, but does anyone else have that autumn feeling? you know that feeling where you just want to wear cardigans, scarves and big pea coats and walk around feeling slightly melancholy, all the while wishing you were inside with a mug of tea being snuggly with a cute boy. no? hmmm... well anyway. i saw the weekend play last weekend at the jailhouse. what a great show. lots of cute stylee punk boys. i liked it so much i was getting itchy. sigh... can anyone in montreal recommend some good upcoming shows that i should go to? i'm still mad that i missed modest mouse a couple of weeks ago. ah well. hmm... well, i'm going to go and read my paper now and then pretend to do some school work with my friend chloe. xoxo, Le'Nise. np: the clickty clack of the computer lab at my school. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Of juggling chainsaws...
by Adam Chapman 10 Oct '00

10 Oct '00

Hello there people. This is rare for me, but idleberry has been telling me that the waters lovely [so to speak], so here i am. Frankly i had better re-introduce myself as previously [given that i've been around here, on and off for 2 years], i have posted aboot once every 6 months and spouted utter drivel so hello again, i'll try harder this time... ...speaking of idleberry she has - 'Decided to hand the responsibility over to a young sinister whippersnapper chappy at UEA.' In case you weren't listening the responsibility is for our little indiesoc which if i don't get my act together runs a significant risk of being stillborn, for you see, I am that 'whippersnapper'. So if anyone has any advice or experience of such things, or even interest in establishing something similar at another uni, please reply and pass on anything you think might be useful. Props to you all, Adam _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Sinister: Resurrection Joe
by Peter Miller 10 Oct '00

10 Oct '00

Nowadays I get all my Gentle Waves news from Jordi's list. What happened to all the fans of no-nonsense, heads-down boogie-rock on this list? Aren't you all excited about the forthcoming gigs? London's East End and Dublin. The Cromwellian Conservatives at Jeepster have claimed Dublin for the UK. The new EP has got a picture of a nudie lady on it. Inexplicably, even though it's only a drawing, you can't see her nipples. The LP has got a pciture of Isobel forcibly holding a cat against its will. If you look closely at her face, you can see her trying to conceal her annoyance as the cat wriggles and squiggles and sticks its claws in her. There's a song called "Loretta Young". Who's he? I'm really looking forward to hearing it. I had a terrible shock this morning. Future Bible Heroes were on the radio. I tried to plug up my ears, but it was too late. It really was absolutely awful. I've got Record Collector magazine. Lucky old me. It calls Stevie Reverb's contribution to the Brian Wilson tribute album "lovely". I like to think Big Dave grabbed Wee Chris with one of those Tommy Cooper style extending arms. The other day I saw the trailer for "North by Northwest", which is a film by Alfred Hitchcock. In the trailer, Hitchcock churchills on about the plot and actors and so on. He says "Eva Marie Saint" to rhyme with "paint", whereas Lloyd Cole says it to rhyme with "font", sort of. But who is right and who is wrong I cannot say. Was Hitchcock being deliberately dim, or was Lloyd Cole trying to sound sophisticated by showing his mastery of the French language? Perhaps The Piefox will know. I wish I could go and see that exhibition of photos by Gail Chickfactor. There's nowhere I'd like to go less than New York, but I'd go just to see The Foxgloves gurning down at me from the wall. By the way, National Poetry Day passed virtually unnoticed this year. Coincidence? I think not. Does anyone know if there are going to be any more Papercuts, or have we all retired? Nice to see Simon Reynolds talking sense for once.

Sinister: this will bug you all day..
by idleberry 10 Oct '00

10 Oct '00

The red car and the blue car had a race, All red wants to do is stuff his face He eats everything he sees, from trucks to prickly trees, but smart old blue he took the milky way Past few weeks thats been in my head, after someone started discussing it on Jeepster forum, so I thought I'd bless you lot as well with it. Went shopping. Got foxy in a shop. Couldn't decide between two dresses, got both. Got boots. The first ones I tried on looked like wellies. �85 wellies as well. Hmm. So bought a sleeker chicer pair. and cheaper. Got all my birthday pressies sorted out, and I felt great. A new coat, two foxy dresses, a pair of knee high boots that I'm going to have to learn to walk in (I live in trainers.). Yay! Late for class, knackered cos I just had three hours about Scandinavian language history. Facinating stuff, it might be... Dunno, will have to check my notes to see if thres anything interesting there. Not going to do the indie soc thing. Decided to hand the responsibility over to a young sinister whippersnapper chappy at UEA. Afterall, the tarot said to study more. Have been getting my ego boosted as well. Like it needs it, but hey, I like it. Makes me go "yeeeeeaaah!". oh, and heres one to try.. play some Marilyn Manson. Go into another room. Doesn't it sound just like the Pet Shop Boys? It did to me when I was at the cloak room at a local club.. Anyway, gotta go and do some Norsk grammatik. Wish me luck on my past participle endings and getting the right subject and object infinite forms.

Sinister: Yeah, this is the good stuff...
by Lucy Alder 10 Oct '00

10 Oct '00

When I found out certain types north of the border have been calling me Miss Asbestos Liver, a shiver went down my spine. How on earth will I be able to uphold such a reputation when I arrive in Glasgow in little over two weeks time? I mean, they're Scots. They drink. Lots. Except Jason 'Mark 'n' Lard' Andreas, but he's the exception that proves the rule. Lordy lordy, I thought to myself, I'd better get in training. What I need is a twelve-hour drinking session and lo! My diary told me it would be Scalarama on Saturday and thus the perfect opportunity was provided. Having mentioned Scots, it would probably be wise to gloss over the part of the afternoon that involved Germans, a muddy pitch and Kevin Keegan. I should have concentrated harder on Tompaulin. Baxendale were D!I!S!C!O! and P!O!P! and T!O!P! D!E!C!K! They weren't on for long enough though. The rest of the time I think I probably danced but, um, I'm not sure. There were lots of messages on my phone the next day that I couldn't remember getting. I do remember that it was Erica's birthday - she's now a Legal Girl - and she was wearing a very pretty dress. HB, Erica. Those of us that were the True Fans went on to see V-Twin at Blow Up! Mark C was full of good intentions, but lasted all of half an hour and went home before the band came on - pah! Father and daughter Moore, Chris Brown, Sophie (and friend) and myself were all down the front and DM has given a better description than I ever could because, well, memory doesn't serve. The realisation suddenly dawns that I'm writing a fairly lengthy post about something I can't remember much of. Plough on, plough on... I can remember thinking it was a good thing the singer's mic wasn't switched on. He looked like he was wailing a bit. His hat was nice though, a bit like the ones that I've seen lots of Jewish people wearing round Stoke Newington for Yom Kippur. Big and brown and furry. I hardly recognised Stevie, the old scruff. I don't know what's happened to his sharp suits, but a baggy old pair of bell-bottoms is a bit of a let-down. Smarten up, boy! As previously mentioned, Isobel looked simply divine. I was well-behaved and didn't stalk any of them, unlike some people. So, in the end I made it through from 2.30pm to 2.30am, ruined my red mary janes and gave myself a bit of a headache but I didn't fall on my arse, which is something I suppose. Chris Brown deserves much acclaim for being the only other ROCK person to match my drinking and dancing for the full twelve hours. Glaswegians, are you ready for me? In other news... Colleen deserves props for saying > FARGING as does John Maxwell, for dreaming about dancing daisies. Dancing daisies! David Moore (who I've mentioned enough already in this post, but what the heck) said cover versions (?) of Like A Rolling > Stone & I'm Waiting For The Man by soul singers trying to sound like Mick > Jagger. which I thought was strange because on a tree of inspiration, I'd have Mick a bit lower down than your soul singers - wasn't he a wannabe R&B boy? Andrew 'Capital H' CHurchman said I wanted all > you out there to know that I'm putting on a show on > Sun. Oct. 22 its the Softies, Mirah, and Microphones. > It'll be at the Manaquan Womens Club, 62 Main St., > Manasquan, New Jersey. It starts at 7:00 and will be > a lot of fun! Would you please tie Mirah to a chair and tickle her with a feather duster until she agrees to come over and sing something sweetly in London? Ta. Paul Arathoon mentioned Orlando. They weren't a complete pile of toss, Paul. They did one fantastic, tremedous, amazing, wonderful pop song. The rest was toss though. 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. http://my.genie.co.uk/mommas/audio.htm Juicy Lucy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
