Sinister: Let the good times begin....
by Jordi Trenzano 25 Oct '00

25 Oct '00

Ummm....the subject of the e-mail links with one of the loveliest songs iŽve heard lately.....seems that miss Campbell is improving her songwriting talent a lot.... IŽm angry. I wanted to be in the auction offering myself as a dj after fridayŽs disaster, described accurately by Elena. Ummm......arenŽt there any ways to make an exception ??? I tried to send the e-mail the day before the auction closed, and my crappy other e-mail adress betrayed me...... Oh, I mentioned Elena, who said recently: >*Rhyme problem of the week* >Lots of people on the list have got a name that rhymes >with "baby" (Honey, Velocity, Stevie, Carey, Lixi, L>ucy, Ally, Jordi etc...See there is an looot) Not me. I >wish I had a name that rhyme with baby so people can >call me "whatever-baby" but there is no way you can >make Elena rhymes with baby really. I feel so flattered to belong to such a GRATE club with such a lovely people.....well, I donŽt know if ElenaŽs attending well to her catalan classes, cause the female-use in catalan for "baby" is "nena", which rhymes perfectly......doesnŽt it ???

Sinister: One Tree Hill
by Halliday, Ian 25 Oct '00

25 Oct '00

Thos of you who remember U2's song "One Tree Hill" will no doubt be disappointed to hear that the tree, long an icon of Auckland, New Zealand, will be cut down tomorrow. The tree has in recent years been attacked twice by protesters wielding chainsaws and is dying. Authorities in Auckland have the view that it is no longer safe. Maungakiekie, (the Maori name for the area), Aotearoa (New Zealand) and the world will be the less for it. -- Ian W Halliday, BA Hons, MIMIS, AAIBF Snr, ANZCS, ATMB, CL +64 25 245 6089 http://www.baptism.co.nz Excel in all we do +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Montreal picnic / october 29th
by Fox in the snow 25 Oct '00

25 Oct '00

Hello ! Just to let you know we're having a picnic/ meet up in Montreal this coming Sunday ( Oct 29th). We thought we'd all meet at the Berri-Uqam metro station ( inside besides the Dunkin Donuts) at 1 pm. If the weather is nice we'll head up to Parc Lafontaine to the usual place ( between the 2 lakes ) and if it's cold we'll probably go for a tea at the tea house we've been to last time or take a coffee at Second Cup on St-Denis or something. if you've got questions/ideas or something email me cheers, Karolyne _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Sinister: spit in the milkshakes, and some one falls out of the window
by Phillip Runion 25 Oct '00

25 Oct '00

today i saw one of the most intriguing fims that i have ever seen. it was called Superstar, and it was about the rise and fall of Karen Carpenter. The catch is that it was done with barbie dolls. At first it was both startling and hilarious. But once the initial surprise had past it became clear that the choice was brilliant on many levels. The most obvious reason being that, other than it being a documentary on KC, it was also a commentary on anorexia. It had the creepiest cuts, like this other barbie being spanked, and archie bunkers wife. Apparently, the movie was banned b/c the director didn't get permission to use the Carpenters material. I wish i could remember the director's name, but it is by the same guy who did Velvet Goldmine. I dreamt I had to go to Mars In Get Me Away From Here I'm Dying, I am convinced that he says "Flying" one time at the beginning of the the second stanza of "dying[s]". I heard something rather peculier the other day. someone told me that Dunkin' Donuts and 7eleven's are popping up all over Europe. It's just strange to me for some reason. I just think America needs a Safeway is all, really. Not really, though, because when i was at Safeway a year ago, they made you bag all of your own groceries, while in America, it comes free with paying for all the food you just bought. Except, in Safeway they sell bottles of spirits, a whole isle to choose from at that. In America you'd be lucky to get a bottle of cooking wine in a grocery store. I went to a Burger King in Edinburgh one time, yeah, and it would be like going to an actual sit down restaurant over here. I mean, the whopper actually looked the way it did in the picture fer chrissakes. Burger King in America= somebody taking an old, worn out patty, throwing a slice of cheese (from oil and water, mind you!) adding a slice of tomato with the green part all over it, and then some shredded lettuce from a bag, for good measure. Ketchup, Mayo top of the bun, and then a huge hand smashing down on top of it, squishing it all together, so that it's as thin as a pancake. Moral=> cook for youself. I just couldn't ever listen to my grandmothers advice because she was clinically insane. jealousy, i guess. maybe not. yours truly, phil r _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Sinister: (no subject)
by Heffalumping＠aol.com 25 Oct '00

keith et al: tho I live in a *cough* urban *cough* setting (oklahoma city), I am on open highway several times a week and my mobile is a lifeline to the people who could pull me from wreckage or the lifeline to the people who could laugh with me as I make fun of the dolt driving in front of me with the vote for bush/conferate flag stickers stuck below their rusted shotgun rack, in which my laughing may in turn cause me to be in said wreckage. I turn said phone off when visiting my coffee bar, while in dr. muhammad's class, and that is about it, oh, and the library. i don't have $ to go see movies, or I would probably turn it off there, also. and speaking of movies......oh, never mind, I never get to see them....except i rent every truffaut movie i can get my hands on. the mere mention of sports, keith, is like the auras one receives right before obtaining a lovely migraine. it is a bright display of colours, right before I gasp and sputter just like my sentra on a hot summer day. then i scream and pass out until i hear the sounds of B&S (content, erm) again, or maybe a good mixtape (ahem! :)) i still like the omen, maybe i suck. i can't like any other horror, except maybe hitchcock. if the blair witch people can make a movie that is as good as hitch, maybe i will reconsider my not going to the movies. yeah, i know......i am getting the hint susan +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: juke

speaking of mobile phones, i really don't like mobile phones. i hate the precedence they take in all of their possessor's lives. i could be having a moment of pure brilliance on display and a mobile will ring and someone will tell me to 'hold just one minute'. i rather like the idea of being out of touch, i am even annoyed when the phone rings at home i can't imagine my state if i had a mobile ringing endlessly all day long. of course i really don't have anyone who might call me all day, my girlfriend might call me occasionally but she is not very fond of the telecommunications revolution either. i see 12 year olds with mobile phones and i wonder if they call each other to discuss how the breakup of at&t will affect their portfolio. i have to carry a mobile for work and it is always bad news at the end of the line, does this colour my feelings? a blair witch sequel, am i the only one who thought the first was crap? what is with the flood of new jesus movies? i'll admit to being terrified as a child of movies like the omen and final conflict but now they are just too silly, i recall believing that a classmate was the devil just cause his name was damien. christmas albums usually stink, i never reach for the contemporary records when i am feling in the holiday spirit i'd rather go with bing or andy williams or the mormon tabernacle heck even burl ives over vince gill or stuart murdoch. uresei want to be american don't they? like the stereophonics do. how many people on this list are in love with derek jeter? keith m __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: ah ah ah bizzarro superman!
by Adam Conover 25 Oct '00

it's just strange! stereolab's new record listed as "only vinyl 1000 copies pressed"... so i buy it of course, for $22. 2 LPs. i listen to the entire first side, thinking it's a little slow for a stereolab song... when i flip it over, i find that the girl's voice is terribly slowed down.. of course indicating that the (12") record was supposed to be played at **45RPMS**, and i just hadn't noticed because it was instrumental. (although it sounds much better sped up, of course.) but this is the first 12" 45RPM piece i've EVER seen, and it doesn't say -anything- about it being 45 RPMs ANYWHERE in the packaging!! finally, i've found the vinyl numerous places online, and with the same track listing (the guy claimed it had tracks that weren't available on other albums.) can anyone help me out with what's the story here? in other news, i got the new godspeed album on vinyl too. it's GORGEOUS. oh god. godspeed is playing at my tiny tiny school on december 9 (bard college, in upstate new york), along with WILL OLDHAM and ***MICK TURNER*** from the DIRTY THREE! god, it's so superstardom up here! ida and low played here a week ago... but everyone was talking so much that elizabeth (from ida) got really upset, and they stopped right in the middle of the best songs... sorry for not being faux-brit tonight, i just don't have it in me. - adam +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: lo-fi sci-fi me
by Fiona Fairbairn 24 Oct '00

howdee cow boys and gals it wasn't until studying american history for my a-levels that i actually made any connection between cowboys and actual cows.... but anyway.... i've been holding off unitl i had some content, but i've given up now, so you'll just have to bear with me. last week i went to see my other favouritest band in the whole world - urusei yatsura. i jumped around lots and drank lots of beer. it was good. and afterwards my boy who is something of a ligger|but i didn't say that| wandered into the dressing room and proceeded to pretend he was a member of alfie. i staggered after him and we ended up dragging half the members of uy round manchester, getting into places for free by saying 'look we've brought urusei yatsura' and acquiring free beer in the same fashion. needless to say much fun was had and i embarassed myself hugely with accounts of just how much of a superfan i am. *watch as fiona hangs her head in shame* anyone who doesn't know who urusei yatsura are pleeease try and get hold of the new album because it is fantastic and they are p!o!p! (that looks like plop in lower case) and they are really skint and were doing their own t-shirt selling and stuff http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/wrappedinfakefur someone talked about rain: i hate it when i t rains, but i've recently realised that if you stride throught the downpour, all the while telling yourself that its a beautiful sunny day you really don't notice how cold and wet you are. it really works (until you get insied and have to peel sodden courduroy from your legs, eugh!) people also talked about ringtones, i have the theme from the magic roundabout on my phone, my dad worked it out for me, he's good at things like that, but i think i'd be too embarassed to ask him to do any b+s. i'm also looking for the roobarb and custard theme for a nokia phone, i used to have it, but it was rubbish and cost me 2 quid to download. grrr. jen suggested we all get capes, i hope she won't be too offended if i say that i won't be getting one as i really don't think it's a look that would suit me. i do like ribena though. plug:- if anyone is in the leeds area tonight , my boy is djing at the think tank on call lane, its a manics themed night, but i'll be using my feminine charms to get him to play some good stuff as well, so if you haven't got anything better to do...... thanks for listening, but now i'm late for a complex calculus lecture, love and irn-bru, fiona. our upstairs toilet and our shower and our washing machine and the sink in my room are all broken. no really. and the hoover never worked properly. i want to go home. *sigh* +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Lazy Light Painter Ken
by Kenneth P Y Chu 24 Oct '00

24 Oct '00

Hello, Things had been going a bit ups and downs lately, well I should have said "up" and downs cos I don't seem to recall that many up things but tons and tons of down things. I will not bore you with my down things tho, cos I do that like, every other post... you'll just have to wait for the next post now. I know I can't wait for more moaning from Ken either... :) JenOwl is thinking about starting a navy where people can drink Ribena instead of rum, well, I think a better idea is to have Red Bull drinking navy... then they can be in the Air Force at the same time after growing wings, and all that proper stimulation for the body and mind that they can get then, instead of those kind of "stimulation for the body" than Navy people normally gets at sea... Lil' birthday girl Amy mentioned her new hair, so body parts page enforcer, do your work. :) Things exploding in ovens remind me of the "Clarkson" shows they had on the BBC, where they have a cool bit where they put stupid things in microwave ovens to make them explode, but with that you have to suffer Jeremy Clarkson's ego, and his pitiful attempts at comedy. So all in all that show is poop. Yeah the Sundays seem to have disappeared after the very late coming third album... no, in fact I think was after Tin Tin Out made a cover of "Here's where the story ends", poor Harriet and co. must be hiding in a dark corner in shame... The original song was lovely tho and everyone should get their first album. They have a song with the word "lavatory" in it as well which is always good. Ooooo oooo o oo still can't believe I have won the painting competition.. I'd of course like to thank all my friends to help me through difficult times and my manager and everyone... hehe :) I still don't feel that I deserved to win.. especially with a late entry which was unfortunately disqualified for being too much of a slow graffiti but it is well good and everyone should see it (it's on Mr. carsmilesteve's website now http://www.geocities.com/carsmilesteve/painting/index.htm) and give a round of applause and kisses.

Sinister: Good advices
by Brier Random 24 Oct '00

24 Oct '00

Some advice: Never leave an eggplant in the oven too long. If you do, don't leave it in till it explodes all over the inside of the oven. If that should happen, make sure you clean it the same day. If you forget, at least don't leave it in there while you go on a week-long trip to San Francisco. And if THAT happens, never, ever open that oven door when you get back from your trip. Never. Take my word for it. Just get a new oven. Content: "A Century Of Fakers" is the best B&S song right now (but will not usurp "The State I Am In" [Single version] {more controversey here} \and I'm running out of parenthesis styles/, as the best B&S song EVER, of course). Please someone assure me that boys with zits (lots) who have chemistry will never major in biology. I shudder at such thoughts. But I've got tons of ego, and tons of self-doubt, so I guess I'm in good shape. And please relate all eggplant stories (however provocative or obscene) to me OFF LIST. Thanks and gentle waves goodbye, Brier +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
