November 2000 - Sinister

ahoy-hoy, The coolest thing to happen in my world in the past couple-a-days: I was walking through the Guggenheim looking at neat Armani's when i realized they were playing one of the albums that i have: Shalabi Effect. It's not everyday that you hear music that you own being played in one of the greatest museums on the planet. I tried to get a play list after that, but to no avail. If it weren't for idioteque and optimistic, Kid A would have been a complete waste of money. Maybe they're just fucking with everybody and will release a real album in March or whatever. Mr. Yorke is a wanker for the latest effort, and what a waste of johnny greenwood! I wish that i could give jenowl a hug and that i was a girl so that i could take her to a grate film and hold her hand as we walked through the town square. Speaking of grate films, rent Jesus' Son, or read the short stories by Denis Johnson. Does anyone on this list listen to hip-hop at all? I used to absolutely Love Hip-hop before it began being completely destroyed by corporate fat-cats; ("Genuine gangsters went into sports management or the music business."); even my favorite rapper sold out. . .AArrGhhH!! But alas, i have found hope in the hip-hop section: Del the Funky Homosapien aka Deltron 3030. He is on some bugged-out dope ryhmes that manage to surpass Kool Kieth in his prime. Meaning: Dr. Octagon. Incidentally, both of these albums are produced by Dan "the Automator" Nakamura, who's name some of you may recognize from the lates PRML SCRM effort. So the question i've been meaning to ask: does any one know any fresh German, French (-M.C. Solaar), Japanese, etc., M.C.s? I would greatly appreciate any and all suggestions. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.

Sinister: the windows are open; the curtains are drawn
by lisa morrison 21 Nov '00

21 Nov '00

its the complications of these situations that i adore... something for everyone: a little pain; a little pleasure all depending on yr taste... i feel compelled to comment on jenOw(l) and her endeavors... the green-day rocker sounds like a big nose in the air bitch to me... and i know bitches...takes one to know one, i suppose...but dear darling jenOw(l) snatching up yr bag and making a run for it sounds so picturesque...i wish you had had someone video it from across the street...i'm sure it would have gone down as a classic...but keep that star on yr cheek and keep yr chin up...girls are bitches anyway... my mother says i should try and be more personable. i figured i'd make a list attempt...b/c b&s kids are nice. (content?) how was that...? judges-yr scores please... short and sweet from yr neighborhood ideal -lisa 9.9 9.9 9.6 9.76 9.8 strange feelings like someones been in apartment, which in yr case is totally possible... (i drank wine sockless on yr kitchen counter...then slipped out the way i came) _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.

Sinister: The End Of The World As We Know It
by Sam Walton 20 Nov '00

20 Nov '00

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, So this is it, give or take a couple of lines: In less than 30 hours, Ill be winging my way to a ski-resort in France until May, so Im unsubbing for the time being. This goes out to Nick Drake, Stuart David and Erica McArthur, wherever you may all be today. A few thank yous before we go. To all the doubters and critics too numerous to mention; thank you. To all the people past and present who have touched my life on Sinister: Nessa dont call me Bugsy Malone, Elenita99, Derek, Splash, JenOwl, Jo Reynolds, F-B, Kaytee, Jules Markham, Ken PY Chu, G from York; thank you. To all the people who have kept this list on it feet in recent memory, doing whatever it is you do; thank you. To Thom Yorke, Stuart David, Steven Wells, Hefner, The Gentle Waves and countless others for providing so much writing inspiration, I salute you; thank you. To someone who has been here as often as me more or less: you can count the digests hes missed on the fingers of one stump, a friend to the victims, a friend to me, and hey, a friend to you, Honey; thank you. Oh what the hell, theres no show without Punch. Raise your glasses, Belle & Sebastian; thank you. And finally, thanks to everyone of you for all the banter which I didnt quite understand, for reading my posts occasionally and for being into it. Nice one. Keep this going, because Ill be back in May to wreak havoc once more. Unless of course you cant be arsed with it, which is fair enough, in which case Ill say goodbye now. Ill see you around, space cadets. Ten months and fourteen posts, I think I got away with it. I was on Sinister, now Im not. It was fab. I know, cos I was there. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Sinister: warning: may contain rude words
by Stephen Hewitt 20 Nov '00

arsebuggerpishitbolloxpooooooooooo outbid in the last minute!! the very last minute!! if only i had time to sit around watching qxl all morning, i could have gotten away with it (damn those pesky kids), and after dave moore had convinced mick i was a nutter as well, I'll have to find another excuse for coming to glasgow and getting drunk now :((((((( grrrr and indeed arrrggh so if gary rich or the other bloke whos name escapes me are out there, I shake my fist at you, and hope you have a nice time with mick/richard. *steve grinds his teeth However, I still get to have a tape made for me by lawrence mickelson (unless i was outbid for that too), so it's not all bad, although i did lose out on the blu-tack figures... It looks a certain noo yoikian listee is going to get to edit struan's videos as well, lucky old her ;) Anyway, saturday night at the betsey was grate fun, a rip roaring success, you could say, as they were turning people away, and there wasn't room to swing a stunted dormouse inside the venue. xoxo CarsmileSteve PS no dormice were hurt in the production of this post +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: i'm soooooo excited
by David Strange Strange 20 Nov '00

20 Nov '00

hiya again, i would like to open this post by apoligising to MR tweebunny for thinking ever-so wrongly HE was a female i'm very sorry mate :0). Yesterday i certainly wasn't in a very good mood cos i went to visit a very special place to me and found it had been vandalised this really really upset cos this special place happened to be the resting place of my father,how can people desicrate such a special place,i hate people sometimes.I mean i hear things happen and i think why? like wars etc ther just so pointless,grrrrrrrrrr! But today i got the Christmas lp thing for the big issue and it's put me in such a christmassy mood i can't wait for the big day and it's over a month away,i'm just going to get more and more excited as the time wares on,i'm so terrible. I adore christmas it's just the argos adverts really are sooo irratating status quo should have been disbanded ages ago. A bit of content rare for me i know, but the christmassy B&s song is lovely i have to admit i didn't really know the original but the belles have done a fine job covering it,the first verse is sung by stuart m,the second bit by the fragrant and not at all big arsed isobel t and the third bit by and even Sarah gets to sing right at the end,it's really cool.I apoligise now if i got all the names and parts they sing wrong. Also could someone tell me who makes up the masionettes as featured on Legal Man,i know it's Isobel,Sarah but who is the other girl when they weer on Top of the theakstons i mean pops sorry. well thats it,oh can genieve i think it wa who done the t-shirt printing by silk screen tell he how to do it cos i really wanna make my own shirts that would be neat. see ya, dave (dafyd) x _______________________________________________________ Tired of slow Internet?

Sinister: do we read in chat like we're listening, or are we reading?
by gogron 20 Nov '00

20 Nov '00

Hello There is a nice drawing of a naked woman on the cover of the CD I just bought. That's why I bought it. At £3.99, a bit steep for such slight pleasures but, hey, I'm a connoisseur, and will go to considerable lengths for fine artwork. The CD itself is by that woman in whatsit and there are some familiar names playing stuff in the background. The third song (four whole different songs!) has a tuba on it, and a clarinet. Excellent. It's all very light and fluffy apart from the tuba bit. The fourth song sounds like the Penguin Cafe Orchestra playing under a wooly blanket. Nice. Talking of nicely drawn women, I also bought the latest single by badly drawn boy. The boy's done well.. he should win an award. So that was the Gentle Waves, and my reason for posting. But, being all dressed up, figuratively speaking, I don't want to go home yet so I'll bore whoever's got this far some more.. the white glowy space in this window is so tempting... I want to fill it with a jumble of letters. Well, I stopped at the above before dinner, thought for a while, furrowed my brow even.. ate orange and cream striped salmon ravioli, and have come to a conclusion. I'm all out of things to say. OOps. I'll have to go to #sinister instead, for inspiration. Gordon For those of you interested, under the Scottish Building Regulations, you're allowed up to sixteen steps in a stair without a landing. Less than three steps is illegal. Just wanted to share that :) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: "When he wakes up, tell him that i love him."
by John Maxwell 20 Nov '00

20 Nov '00

I had such a grate dream last night. I was at this tiny little venue with hardly any people, bopping away with the rest. Actually, it was kind of weird. All the rest of the crowd looked like scary rugby people, but they didn?t show any signs of either being scary or into rugby. Anyways, the band that was on was quite weird. They were really dancey & stuff. The thing I remember most about them was their synth keyboard guy was pretty much the frontman. I remember thinking in the dream that they sounded a bit like Alice Deejay or Sash or something really panny like that. I don?t think the gig lasted all that long. Afterwards once everyone had left, I turned the lights on and went up onto the stage. I had left my guitar at the side of the hall during the gig, so that went up with me as well. I started playing ?I don?t love anyone? and was singing through the mike that was left behind. There was no one about so I could do what I want. But, when I looked around once, I seen Struan getting out his acoustic and Richard went onto the drums. So I took up the role as Johnny Reverb & sung little harmonies with Struan at ?if there?s one thing that I learned?? It was such a grate dream. I think that?s the first B&S dream I?ve had. So it inspired me to spend the entire morning in my over-shrunk super furry?s t-shirt & a pair of boxers, playing my repertoire of b&s songs to my dog on wheels poster. Aren?t long weekends grate?

Sinister: snog on eels
by Kenneth P Y Chu 20 Nov '00

20 Nov '00

Hello, It has been a hectic week, been doing all sorts of stuff including (yippie) seeing Hefner again on Tuesday and dancing all night, (yippie) going to Offbeat and dance all night and (boo) got told off by my supervisor for doing no work and worked all night. I have just had the most horrific dream about being in a car crash, and the worse part was I didn't die or get injured, but I got an endless telling off by the other driver who happened to be my lecturer, and that's before I had to tell my parents about it. Scary. Scarred for life now. Even more scary, are that when you know a girl who you really like, and you just want to love them and love them but you love her so much that you get so scared of telling her in fear of her never speaking to you again. What is a boy to do, it's taken me a few years now, with many different subjects of affection, to figure it out, I haven't figured it out. I think I have figured out that some of the songs on Kid A are actually quite good, there are some pants ones but a few of them are superb. Like optimistic and motion picture soundtrack and idioteque which are like, grate. I do think though that a song is not boring because it's fast/slow/rock/punk/folk/pop, it's how much thought, effort and genius that has been put into it, but then I know John Shit's brother Jack so I should shut it. And yeah (as Arantxa said) everyone at the gig got accused of being Belle and Sebastian fans by Darren of Hefner.. first I thought, "oi", and then I thought, "oh yeah I am", then I laughed a little. I laughed even more, when I listened to the mp3 of "paper boat" downloaded from David White's page, and at the start, there is this bloke which for some reason says "Are you done with your toilet though?" in a French accent before the song starts! Hehe. I thought it was really amusing anyway.. :) Soft pillows and Red Bulls Ken ====================================================================== And maybe when we wake up in the morning, maybe when the darkness starts to fade, maybe in a paper boat, we'll both just float away - Belle & Sebastian +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Strategies Against Sobriety (for Dummies)
by Kev 20 Nov '00

20 Nov '00

Hello then. JOE STRUMMER HAS MANKY TEETH. But you can't hold that against him. He was in the Clash after all. Well, it seems that my friendly GP has finally scuppered my plans to drink until the wine actually came out of my ears. He showed me a chart of a naked person who only had half of his skin, and there were big arrows pointing to all the gloopy things inside, along with helpful explanations on exactly how they would break. he also said he wouldn't be held responsible, which I thought was a bit off. I thought that GPs were supposed to be very responsible. Now the evenings go on for aaages. What do the ordinary people do with all this free time? I think I'll just sit here and play with this bit of string. Elvis Costello is a funny man isn't he? Is it just my imagination or does he look an awful lot like Steve Wright? The best thing about having a job is taking a day off, like I did today. My head was all chock full of cool and wonderful things I was going to do, but I just ended up wandering around town in a sort of daze wondering where I could buy a Birthday card for my brother. Apparently now that it's November the only greetings card one can buy are Christmas cards or cards with I AM 9 badges and a wishy washy pic of a kid in a flat cap playing golf. Well phooey to you Clinton Cards. Luckily, I have a backup plan - I'll just pretend I forgot. Fiendish. And don't even get me started on Frank Black. The Pixies were MY IDEA you thieving POP GURU BASTARD. Someone sent me a lovely email today and it really cheered me up. When I see him tomorrow I'll thank him personally and offer to buy him a coffee. So I reckon each and every one of you should take 5 minutes to send off a quick mail to someone you haven't spoken to for a while. Or phone your mum. Go on, it'll make you feel better. There'll be a nation (world?) wide Sinister Glow. Kieth says... > i bet if i said bad > things about tom waits i would see a counter right > away, so i will not Kev says : God bless Tom Waits :) But that doesn't mean I want to go out for a drink with the guy, no way. I bet you could strike matches on his palms. I still reckon he should get his own show on Radio 4 though. Imagine - an afternoon in contemplation with Waits. Tom discusses the spiritual and physiological benefits of bashing the hell out of bin lids and singing like there's a dead rat in your throat. Followed by Gardeners Question time, where he could have a guest spot talking about keeping chickens. It'll happen one day, you mark my words. Um, I'll go away now. I've got about 5 hours worth of nothing to do. Interspersed with hoovering and uncontrollable weeping. Love and, well, more love really. Kev. ps. If anyone has read and enjoyed Ihiguro's The Unconsoled and can recommend something along the same lines I'd be everso grateful.

Speaking of my sister, we went to see Tom Jones on friday with my mam and boyohboy was he good! ok ok, he's a coffin dodging geriatric old greasy hip swivler but he was top class AND kelly jones form the stereophonics came onstage (not literally you smutty people!) and sang with him, so my sister and i swooned a lot. *ahem* well, better go, take care, be happy, hugs, amy xxx _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
