Sinister: New York City: Any of you there?
by Vilkas D'Angelo-Horvath 17 Nov '00

17 Nov '00

Hello Kids, This is Vilkas. I don't post so often. But for various reasons (like friends and family) I'm gonna be in New York...tomorrow. So why I'm telling you this is cos I'm asking for the scoop on entertainment from any of yous who are in NYC. Specifically dancing. I know they're a zillion of places to dance, but I just came from Glasgow, the club capitol of Europe, which means my dancing preference niche was extensibly catered for. I've been spoiled. Are there any places to go dancing to "indie rock" etc.; or soul music like Northern Soul (like Mr. Divine, or that guy from some indie band DJs the stuff too). Techno/house too, provided it doesn't suck, you know the GOOD stuff. No dance remixes of Celine Dion. Fatboy Slim is nice to do work by, but...I've had my fill of chart hits dancing. Breakbeat & Hip-Hop are fab too. Also, places where sneakers are allowed. (You know, clean, fasionable, hip sneakers. Don't think I'm trying to get out of dressing fly. Dressing fly is often fun. However dancing in other shoes is foolish. But try telling that to the doorman/a**hole). Am I asking too much? Any must see art shows up? Any music shows? I know about the Delgados, they're half the reason for the trip. And if you know if they're sold out, do you have an extra ticket? :)! Thanks in advance, Vilkas P.S. My travel email, remove the nospams, um duh: loulouhex(a)nospam.hotmail.nospam.com P.S.

Sinister: I'm the fastest man alive
by Alex Jackson 17 Nov '00

17 Nov '00

I've not written in ages. Sorry! Has everyone else been very much shocked by the treatment of poor wee Jenowl? I noticed a few comments about it, but I thought it was really awful. The hard kids in my school always had a go at me, but my friend was way harder than they were, and threatened to do bad things to them with his cricket bat if they beat me up. I reckon we should all form a sinister militia and go sort out the obviously satanic forces that are working against her. Have been listening to the Y2K song by looper a lot recently, which probably had loads to do with my java project; I keep wishing it would crash, but my Dad's bought a new computer with an Athlon chip in it, and Windows ME, which hasn't crashed once yet and it's been in the house for almost five days! I mean, it looks like Windows... This computers so fast compared to the last one, which was learning to redefine the term 'sack of shit'. I highly recommend the Athlon for sir and madam. Was talking to a girl on my course the other day, and she said that 13 was her lucky number, which took me by surprise, as it's mine too. This may seem trite and a little trendy, but I was born on the 13th, as was my dad and my aunt and my grandfather, and my parents were married 13 years before I turned up, my mum was in labour 13 hours with me, and they kept me in hospital for 13 days after. Oh, and I passed my driving test, the fifth time I did it, on the 13th. Bloody glad I'm not called Damien... Anyhow, the whole point to this (there is one), is that I decided to make up a compilation of 13 songs that mean something to me for some reason, or another. And I thought I'd share my lack of taste with you (Although Will Smith is notable by his absence on this one)... 1. Angel Interceptor by Ash 2. All I wanna Do by Sheryl Crow 3. Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead 4. Playground Love by Air 5. Dylan in the movies (natch) 6. Vow by Garbage 7. Disco 2000 by Pulp 8. When the lights go out all over Europe by the Divine Comedy 9. For tomorrow by Blur 10. Baker Baker by Tori Amos 11. Luna by the Smashing Pumpkins 12. Glory Box by Portishead 13. He's on the phone by Saint Etienne I was a little upset about putting the Tori song on; I always meant to get my ex to play it on her piano for me. :( And its still not as good a compilation as the one Amy Jackson made me (bless her!). anyhow, enough bollox from me. You probably could have erased this one to begin with... Finally got into Kid A though. And the Gentle Waves album is lovely; fabulous late night music; I made my sandwiches and rank my Baileys to it last night. Also go the Blur DVD; the To the end video is AMAZING!!! Sorry to bother, all the best, Alex Jackson +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: the right to bare arms
by lisa morrison 16 Nov '00

16 Nov '00

naked. and photographed. and i don't mind it that way. something about the endeavors of photography that excuse nakedness and twisting seductive at hips. an art i have mastered...draping bodies like a velvet curtains off bed edges...warm flesh against cold wall...i recommend that all sinister kids try it.it's like drinking martinis...the first sip is hard to swallow...but by the 15th yr chugging that fire like its water... bad analogy...i cringe and shrug...so im a bad writer...at least im conscious of that fact. the sin factors in when those bad writers think they're good ones. at least i can claim i'm not a sinner (in that respect anyway). illeged photos being shipped off to a more thn lucky sinister kid... lip biting and whip cracking direct towards this luckster...though i am fully aware i am in danger of appearing on the sinister body parts page...see new one and know its the ideal lisa...shit. just gave it away. was supposed to be secret, no?...and i shrug for the second time this post...can't keep secrets anyway. blame it on that big red mouth of mine...it has a mind of its own like most of my bod...arms think stretch...neck thinks roll...fingers think scratch...toes think curl... kat-like. and back arched ideal... -lisa meow.claw.claw. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Sinister: Post-Baxendale, Lumberjack Riots, Too Close to Call
by Stephen Hewitt 16 Nov '00

16 Nov '00

Hey there babies I'm safely returned from the big apple, having had a simply wunnerful time. Meg and I were super-touristy, we went to the empire state building, the statue of liberty, museum of modern art, radio city music hall, central park, bloomingdales, macys and, of course, other music where we pushed our way through the heaving crowds of lumberjacks to gaze in awe at the picture of a certain foxglove which adorned the wall (is this the coolest man in poetry?) Contrary to other reports the picture *is* still there, so i suggest all sinisterines on the east coast of america book their pilgrimages now. We also has the priviledge of visiting the Fez club where we witnessed possibly the first post-baxendale band called the plantains, who despite singing in an english accent about the jubilee line and the millennium dome were actually american... crazy world. But now i'm back in dear old blighty, working my arse off at the moment (apart from tuesday when i went to a conference (and delivered a penguin)), and toying with the idea of going out and getting horribly pished and dancing with styoodents or just going to bed as i am rather tired. Remember there's still time to bid in the auction, unless you want richard or mick, hands off they're MINE, i'm planning a boozy weekend in glasgow you see, curry with mick on the friday, snooker with richard on the saturday (and if i had stuart to drive me about it would be even better, but he's getting a bit pricey) i would also like to take this opportunity to say thank you very much to the noo yoikians who showed us around and took us for drinks and food and stuff, even though i think that there is only one of them currently active on the list...I'd be better off going and changing the topic in #sinister to "steve says thanks" Inevitably there will be photos of the trip at some point... I know it's possibly a bit early for this, but is anyone else thinking of going to All Tomorrows Parties in April, apparently tickets are on sale now, so we might get like chalet 103 and only have to walk about 20 yards to the pub if we book soon... MMMM, HELLO GHD GOOD TO HAVE YOU BACK (hello big stu too) xoxo CarsmileSteve ps i have a drew t-shirt and you don't, so ner! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: je recuse
by carle groome 16 Nov '00

16 Nov '00

Hi 'lo bless me sisters, for i have sinned--NOT LURKED! it's just that it takes soooooo much time to read the voluminous volumes of your mail. so if i repeat themes and schemes of tired and tried odds & ends, i seek forgiveness in advance. re: jason mckinnon To quote the Great White Duke himself in All the Young Dudes. : "Who needs TV when you have T-Rex." And. yes, that was originally a Bowie song that Mott the Hoople covered. actually, it's "i need tv when i got t-rex"...lending itself to two possible interpetations: 1) the requirement of the show "marc" that ran on english tlevision in the mid-70s concurrent with the song's major heyday of airplay; and/or 2) that said individual requires the services of a transvestite or needs to try transvestitism as a condition arising from t-rex. whether this is simply the use of a feather boa or an entire ensemble is unclear. cheers to mr ian nicholson for his interpretation of mark e. smith and isobel collaboration. abs. spot-on terif! And while the idea of Isobel on a Fall song is intreguing, surely Narky Mark on a Gentile Waves record is far more exciting. "ACTRESSESS ON CUPBOARDS-UH! IT WAS THE TIIIIME OF THE GIAAANT BUNNIES-UH! IN THE NEIIIGHBOURHOOD OF INFINITYYYYYY!" Etc. With extra glockenspiel and recorder. Maybe even a video - Mark skipping through a poppy field or something. By 'eck, the possibilities are endless! Remember, kids, when it knocks Westlife off number one, it was my idea! and speaking of the fall... cheers to mr go-go-gron and fall meditation. speaking for one who's idea of season comes from window dressings and waiting for the scent of camphor to fade from woolens, quite sensate to say the least. and more: why is it that the word pine evokes such a flood? sap, needles, tar... definitely, fir is fun. and yet, to pine for, to pine about, to repine in a pine box, in a pine fox... (where am i going with this?) mmmmyew---CONTENT?!?! i am quite content with a table of contents, or so much for my incontinence. howsomever, there is a local eatery called WAI cafe which i portune for portions on a regular basis. (guilt here is that they contain said viands in non-recyclable plastic instead of the thai place's tins or the chinese paper cartons...yet they work so much better than tupperware, i can't bear to toss them!) their angel-hair pasta and crabmeat with slivered asparagus notwithstanding (someday i must really pry open that compound noun and see what it's about), it seems that everytime i go in they have such grate (my bow to the lingua anglica of sisternines) music, like b&s, tindersticks, nick cave, nick drake, t-rex, beatles, scott walker... it just makes take-out feel so serene. and yes, that's another thing: the idea of being in this astral plane community wherein sonic solace in !p!o!p! (ok, 2nd concession stand) is so consistent as to be of a like mind to the extent that if i took to swanning around said cafe in a swoon i would not be considered half-daft or a fully closet queen with a bad latch... annnnd seeing as how i am utterly fascinated by the US elections, my addo comments should be seen in this light. one has to posit a world like the above (i.e., my Why Not cafe) in which a shared sense of value makes you feel at home. that is why, when i look askance at the map of states for shrub (overwhelmingly middle and far west and the south) and for al (the north east and new england and the west coast) i despair for the immediate future here. we are nearly as riven as the civil war, but much more civil, especially civil court law, now. so that's why i take this virtual community over a nation-state any day. oh yeah: orange, syringe best pen in the whole fucking world: Pilot Varsity disposable fountain pens for the totally awesome expressive nib ciao and marquis cha-cha! the whatever ©@®L* +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: impossible things #2
by Ola Szkudlapska 16 Nov '00

16 Nov '00

hello lovely people :) i'm slightly annoyed at the moment... but before i get to that, a small introduction: my school is a very small one. so small it doesn't have its own grounds. that's why there are no normal PE lessons - we go to a swimming pool on tuesdays and thursdays and have lessons at school afterwards. today after the pool i was just going with a mate to this bloody school of mine. (i had a huge*terrible*dreadful*scary*massive history test to write) the easiest way to get to the school is by tube. therefore we headed in the direction of an underground station. suddenly, a police van stopped us. there were 2 policemen inside; probably bored sick on this rainy thursday morning. one of them asked us where we were going. 2 girls heading to a tube station at 9 a.m. must have seemed highly suspicious to him, because he wanted to see our documents. we then were accused of a) running away from home or b) skipping school. talk about nonsense. we started laughing, but we still had to give him our documents. so we just stood there (it was raining all the time), waiting for the half-wit to transfer all the valuable data to his notebook. good thing he let us go after he had finished! CHRIST, that must be one of the stupidest things that have ever happened to me. hello. i'm ola. a dangerous criminal notified by the police; notorious for perpetrating various atrocities such as... say... crossing the car park to get to the tube station. be scared. grr. about nicer things now.. i had a lovely dream today. quite a mental one too, but those are best, aren't they? in that dream, robert smith out of the cure kidnapped me on my way to school and i didn't have to write that scary history test. he then took me to the uk and sort of disappeared. had i not woken up, i suppose i would have been living happily ever after ;) i will go now. take care all. ola +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: my girl, she asked me how come i don't do the boogalu
by Genevieve Wesley 16 Nov '00

> > P.S. Love is a battlefield. > >Love is a U.N. Conference... and that's my quote, you can't steal it! > >Jeff No, Love is a knife with which we explore ourselves. But I forget who said that? I like it, though probably makes me sound like the drama-queen-sado-masochist. I also like the more gentle: Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect, and touch, and greet each other. (rainer maria rilke) Poo. For English I have to bring in 3 pictures and 1 song representing personal vision of success. For pictures so far I have a picture of a dewy, misty, Supple-Struan-Frolicking-worthy green field and a picture of a masculine hand holding a glass of champagne around a creamy, bare, feminine shoulder. But a song representing success? I'm lost. Maybe I should just bring in Eye Of The Tiger for the class. So Phillip, pettie, we shall battle with baguettes, and eat them with raspberry jam when we can fight no more. The new mouse my family got is scaring me.

*******************************first post******************************** aaaaaah dont hate me if i begin to talk utter pants.... this is my first post and its one o clock in the morning. i can hradly keep my eyes open. i do however have some CONTENT AAAH... well i saw the gentle waves tonight, which was nice. erm, i cant do reviews, but they were actually really good. nice version of that song (forget title) that goes 'drums keep pounding a rhythym to the brain laadeedaadeedee..etc', with the over excited trumpets and stuff. :) im now plagued with the usual attack of depression you (well i) get when i meet new people and then think 'aaah they hate me'....which is happening a lot lately, being new to glasgow. ive just started uni, and being thrown into this new life and not knowing anybody is really quite terrifying but i (think) im settling down now. ramble ramble..... im just looking around this internet cafe (i know, WHAT THE HELL IS SHE DOING..well im a bit of an insomniac) and ive noticed theres mainly men on one side and women on the other. wow this is really quite facinating! *looks again* no im not dreaming. neither have i had any belle and sebastian dreams (yet) but i did dream about the new nixon album (which in the dream actually said 'dixon') in a jukebox in the old inverness swimming pool, and having not heard nixon, or dixon for that matter, i put it on. it sounded eerily like the gorkys, in fact it was, but a song constructed entirely in my head. well. what does it all mean??? anyway ive taken up FAR too much of your time for a first post, so i will go to bed like i should have done hours ago, and i wish i could have a cup of hot chocolate, but poor lazy students dont get such luxuries do they?? :( lots of love superfurrysarah xxxx _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
