> There's not much else to say - I live in London and will be going to that > new indie night Strange Fruit on Saturday, it sounds wicked - thanks for the > flyer, whoever sent it. Hey, I was there too, did anyone else go to this? Fantastic, better than Track and Field even. And I enjoyed myself even though I had a storming hangover and could barely string two words together and talk to my friends! Shame about the drinks prices and crap bar staff..... I didn't realise it was a new night. Does anyone know how often it'll be on?

well kiddies...seems that the toronto sinisters are up to it again. or at least i was there this time. there was a loverly magnetic fields night on friday. i got to see my 2 favourite listees, actually the first 2 i ever met...debs and diana. i got to sit with them at the door and stamp kittens and elephant bums on people's hands. i wasn't allowed to touch the money which was a good thing. if people didn't give me a loonie and a twoonie, i got lost. congrats to emily and teri cuz i had a great time. we danced and drank and danced. i even got to see steven "toronto's darling" kado as well. debs and diana and i went to mr sub for samiches, and well...the staff were too busy in the back room and we decided that they put too much stuff in our food. so we decided to start throwing condiments and onions around the place. then we ran away. we decided to go see delgados together...badly drawn boy and sea and cake w/broadcast are this week too, but i can't afford all of them. plus i wouldn't mind catching blond redhead next week... oh and i keep buying redbulls... have a great rest of the morning... a. The crudity and sparness of life is to be found in public lavatories." -Leoni Orton-Barnett, sister of Joe Orton. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Sinister: Alone without being alone
by Brier Random 06 Nov '00

06 Nov '00

Creeping in while everyone's asleep, as usual. I can expose myself and no one will be witness. Don't be sorry you're missing it, there's really nothing to see. But I swear that in the thrift-store today, while looking for flare cords that don't exist, out comes my anthem over the speakers, "Love Is A Battlefield", and it was the first time I smiled all day (feeling ugly this Sunday), altho I would smile later on I couldn't see that far ahead. This was when I realized that someone was looking out for me. If only the spirit of Pat Benetar. Didn't find a twee-shirt for the 2nd competition, but I'll keep looking, or not looking. It will come to me when I least expect it. But I haven't forgotten. Still waiting, however, for Annie Tremps photo wearing Twee-shirt #1. And I'm glad that everyone who was ever mad at anyone is now no longer mad at them... peace falls through the silent valley again. And I hadn't heard that Marine Research (formerly Heavenly) broke up; my inside source (i.e. the Magic 8-Ball) says "ask again later". Which means all will be revealed in due time. Standing up, knees shaking, Brier +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: a few requests.....
by Jordi Trenzano 06 Nov '00

06 Nov '00

Hello....before I begin my usual list of requests to the listees, letŽs say something..... I have the feeling that we may have a celebrity bidding at the auction......this DJ Pain may be Elton John, Paul Carrack (the one who didnŽt learned after playing keyboards for the Smiths loads ago) or George Michael trying to improve their musical skills by getting the advice of Struan. And after his advice, theyŽd DJ at Tigermilking (stoling my idea of making a DJ set based on the non-existing catalan disco hits), trying to lead us in the right way..... Well, now the requests....does anyone keep the (in)famous article of Steven Wells about Stuart that appeared on the NME lots ago ?? I lost it and my fanzine needs it...... Does anyone keeps the recording of Isobel covering an Ennio Morricone song ?? And a question...is it true that Marine Research have split up ???

Sinister: Glasgow School of Art, again
by kittenmouse radio 06 Nov '00

06 Nov '00

hi misters and ms.'s sinisters, Does anyone on this list attend (currently or in the past) the Glasgow School of art? What is it like? Is it good? Is it worth the money? What is Glasgow like? Is it hard to find a place to live that is close by the school? Is the city expensive? etc etc. If anyone would be willing to correspond with me (off-list) on the subject, and/or recommend any good websites that are about the city of Glasgow, I'd be eternally grateful, since I'm considering going to the school as an international student for a semester. Thanks, Andrea Kittenmouse http://www.insidetheweb.com/mbs.cgi/mb1136781 +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: auctions, spam and other stuff .....
by Lawrence Mikkelsen 06 Nov '00

06 Nov '00

hey kids ... just a short one today. ***AUCTIONS*** Anyone looked at the auctions pages? It's a bit strange .... much as the killer CD I said I'd make would be pretty appealing, I think a starting bid of 10 pounds and a bid increment of 5 pounds is a little silly. I haven't really looked at too many of the oher peoples auctions, but I hope the think doesn't topple over because everything is just too expensive.. Also, apparently the custom CD-R I haven't made yet is 'still sealed', is located in Glasgow, and the buyer pays fixed shipping charges. hmmmm ..... Very confusing. ***SPAM*** Someone sent me, and about 100 other listees (I recognised some of your e-mail addresses ... how sad) a big e-mail chain letter. Let's have an end to this, huh? Much as I love the Sinist*r community, it does irk me that someone would see fit to just copy and paste our names into some big bulk mailout to "bring good luck" or something. No biggee, but I HATE getting unsolicated crap in the mail from people I don't know ..... ***HIPSTERS*** I am one now. All my dreams have come true. I own a Go-Betweens shirt, whch my lovely friend Dave bought me at last weeks London gig. It has the label of the "Lee Remick" single on it, is dark blue and makes me feel super super cool. Pity I'm otherwise unexcpetional looking a little on the tubby side .... (sigh) Anyway, off out ...... Take care, Lawrence Mikkelsen. PS _ Nik Ovendon ... jeepers! I had forgotten all about "our deal" .... Will try to finsih the job ASAP ..... PPS Over and out ..... +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: her paintings improved
by Paul Arathoon 06 Nov '00

06 Nov '00

All this talk, well two posts, about having finished uni and being scared of the future struck a chord (Gm i think it was) with me because I am in the same boat. The good ship Unemployment and Indecision has had me a passenger for a good 6 months or so now... Leaving me to think that the only way forward is to become a student again even though i was semi-relieved to leave the student lifestyle for a bit. It's odd that some people go for ages and ages without listening to B&S because in my case the only two bands I know I will listen to on a near daily basis are B&S and the Velvet Underground. I employ a squad roation system with the rest of my collection. i think some of my Sonic Youth Cd's are getting restless cos i haven't played them and Neil Young is threatening to move to my brothers room because the poor guy hasn't had a look in for months. I bought an amazing book yesterday after seeing It's Jo and Danny at Borders on Oxford street. it's called House of Leaves and is about 800 pages long. it's one of those books where some pages are blank save for one word and boxes of text cover other bits of text and are written in reverse. It appealed to me becuase on the page where the author says "this book is for ...." it is written "this is not for you". which warmed me immensly.I said it was amazing but I haven't actually read it yet After I bought it i drifted aimlessly around the street trying to become part of the mass of people drifting like the tide back home. But I failed to merge with them so ended up being a peice of flotsam trying to fight the current and inevitably got the wrong train.My mood was lightened by my listening to "Love Songs On The Radio" by Mojave 3 on repeat... well actaully it just made we want to cry but I don't like the taste of tears. B&S content: we should email London's mayor, ken livingstone, to ask him to put a statue up of Staurt M in Trafalger Square if he ever gets round to removing the generals that are there now. It would be good to see loads of tourists puzzling over who he is... which of course they don't do when they see the statues of generals Napier and Havelock cos everyone knows them. 5 Scall Louis. What a good name. Sound like a right gangster type. paul _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Sinister: over a thousand pounds of bologna, what a waste of pork beef and chicken
by Phillip Runion 05 Nov '00

05 Nov '00

Imagine a more derilectic version of willie nelson with a red do-rag and blue overalls with keen patches over the worn-out spots singing a furious version of "should i stay or should i go?" It was the best time i've had waiting for a train in ages, especially at one in the morning when things are usually dead boring and the only people about are shady thugs. Instead people were grooving with the tune. Ace. The rendition was well worth my dollar and would have been worth more if i could have afforded it. Literary suggestion of the day: Tibor Fischer. Find one his novels, the thought gang, under the frog, the collecter collecter, or, don't read this if your stupid, and be prepared to have your socks knocked off. Brilliant comic genius, Brilliant tragic genius all rolled into a delightfully new use of language and unbelievable word combinations. Salman Rushdie praises him fer chrissakes. Sample sentences: "In the streets it looked as if it had been raining dead Russians. As Gyuri and Pataki wandered around they didn't notice any dead Germans; perhaps the German horror of disorder had prompted them to tidy up as they retreated." and "I've never had a problem about being friendly to people who are wrecked." Life is GYBE while reading Tibor Fischer, the rest is. . . yeah. To use "keen" a second and then a third time: does anyone know how "your as keen as mustard!" makes any sense as a compliment to a pretty lady. Mustard's pretty good on hotdogs, but the word doesn't conjure up images of Laetitia Casta. Mustard seems like the kind of word that should be reserved for B. Arthur, or that wretched, i can't call her a 'lady', can I?, lady from the drew carrie show. For some reasons, chicks dig it though, i've heard it used twice. Once outside a club, where the girl swooned, and once by me, when i went to a stripclub, and told the stipper that she was, in fact, that keen. she melted and told the lesbian bartender what i had said. Some things are impossible to understand. Last thursday, or something, some one wrote the list, (sorry about forgetting your name and also i've deleted the message), about seeing this girl that he likes alot, but has trouble getting close because of past assholes, etc.etc. and that you have started to see what the Smiths were on about. Give a listen to "You just haven't earned it yet, baby" and give her a little more time. Just be as good to her as you can, and show that you really care about her. If it's meant to be, she'll come around. I make it a point to listen to this is just a modern rock song at least once a week, and if my roommate is not asleep, to play along. Also the tune 'belle and sebastian' because of the part when stuart sings "oh sebastian wrote his diary that he'd never be young again. . . but you will". All of their stuff is very go back-to-able, you just have to throw it on and start singing along. phil r "Great seekers of violence: go away" S.M. of P. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Re: Sinister: as queer as a three-dollar bill

eric-- yes, yes, I'm in a very similar situation with my studies and I want to switch majors, but I don't know what to. But, I believe, if you really have something else you want to do, don't let a money issue hold you back from doing it. It'll be worth the extra tuition if you've found something you feel is going to be better. That's just my little advice for the day. To whomever mentioned going to Elliott Smith--I will be attending two of his shows this weekend in Portland--yay! That's only after I finish my hell week at school though--boo. Have a great day everyone!
