Sinister: Operator, operator, please hook me up to my lover at the end of the line
by Julie 04 Dec '00

04 Dec '00

A few things, since I'm supposed to be writing a paper and the best time to write posts is when you have more important stuff to do. 1) Sinister is grate. No really. I whine a lot about the volume of crap posts, but upon reflection I've realized that it's like, a squillion times better than other mailing lists. At least on Sinister we don't get the <pasted half of last post> + four words of your own + 8 line sig line that you would find on a list like, say, Stephinsongs. Thank you Princess Honey!! Parkandride is also a nice list and it is moving into the missprint family like an annoying stepchild, if you like those Camera Obscura people or you like to hear Matt and Martin call each other names, I suggest you join. 2) Some Jason guy said (after Christiaan quoted Butterfly): >isn't that from that arcade game Dance Dance Revolution? I wonder if there >will ever be a belle and sebastian song in that game..........besides I perfer Drum Mania =) Oh no! A Belle & Sebastian song on Dance Dance Revolution (or the European equivalent "Dancing Stage" if you're not capable of comprehending two Dances at once) would be the equivalent of Have You Never Been Mellow! Like, 4 steps total in normal mode, 30 in Trick mode, and 846 in Maniac mode. I can picture the boys in Chinatown with baggy pants rocking out to String Bean Jean, although I have to say that Jason is correct in saying that Electronic Renaissance would probably be the most likely B&S song to grace the machine. It's no Stomp To My Beat though. Also, the fact that Jason likes Drum Mania better clearly shows that he's on crack. DDR is, has been, and always will be the raddest game in the arcade. It's even radder than Para Para Paradise. 3) Carsmile Steve said: >person 1 "which one's stevie jackson then?" >person 2 "um, i'm not sure, he'll be there somewhere" >me (stepping in to avoid any further embarrassment, sotto voce) "he's >standing behind you, dear" Which leads me to believe that Steve was NOT saving those anonymous people from impending embarrassment (akin to the sort of embarrassment one would encounter if one were in the presence of a band member and your mobile rang, playing a jaunty little midi-like Family Tree. This has been discussed before.) but was rather IMPERSONATING A BELLE & SEBASTIAN MEMBER. "Why, I'M Stevie Jackson." That's not nice, Steve, and you know it. It's much nicer to just pretend you KNOW Belle & Sebastian members, as so many people are good at. In fact, I'm beginning to think that if you live in Scotland, you are automatically acquainted with the band either through stalking or the chance encounter-in-the-next-bathroom-stall. Wee Carey knows the band through the latter, and I hear that a certain listee peed next to Stevie Jackson last night. Did he peek? He won't tell. 4) England is nice. That's why Marie Elia and I are going there on December 28th. We're staying at the world famous Mell Street hotel. I hear several other listees have made reservations there for New Year's Eve as well, so I guess I'll be seeing you then. My card reader told me I was going to have a wonderful New Year's Eve. I would have preferred some info with a little more consequence, but hey, who am I to argue. And that is all you have to put up with from me today. xoxo Julie +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: weekend-AH, go out, have a good time
by Stephen Hewitt 04 Dec '00

04 Dec '00

Had one of those long weekends, starting on thursday evening (it's the new friday evening, you know) with tompaulin, who were "stripped down" to a five piece, playing in Oxford. Unfortunately, contrary to rumour, Tom Paulin himself didn't turn up (apparently he was having dinner with Gordon Brown), but Mrs Tom Paulin did, and seemed to enjoy herself. Thursday also saw the start of my meeting lots of listees, as I spent most of the evening with Mark Hester, and several of tompaulin are/have been on the list too. Friday was boring and spent getting over thursday, so we'll move swiftly on to Saturday, which was GRATE fun. We met up at the Spitz to see the gentle waves, but unfortunately there were no tickets left for Dr Sean and Mrs Dr Sean. Listees present consisted of myself and mrs carsmile, juicy lucy, ally96, chris mmmm brown, sally moore, miss vicky and mark cassarotto, who, i had great pleasure in finding out, is two months older than me, THE OLD BASTARD!!! ;) Bill Wells Trio were on first, with Stevie Jackson playing guitar and harmonica and singing a bit of falsetto. Frankly, they were a bit dull, in a jazzy kind of way, and also very very (very) quiet. There was actually a sign on the door telling people to turn their mobiles off, and conversations had to be whispered if you didn't want the whole room to hear. I think the highlight of the set was when a gentleman came on to the stage with a euphonium and i turned to chris and whispered "look, a great big horn!" which he found highly amusing... Now a statement that will no doubt receive howls of derision. "I thought the gentle waves were QUITE GOOD" there, i've said it, and i don't care what anyone else says. The jazzy numbers were particularly pleasing, although, well, her voice (bless it) does grate (and i mean grate, not GRATE, you understand) after half an hour. BLOODY SING A BIT LOUDER WOMAN, IT WON'T KILL YOU. Unfortunately, due to the lack of height of the stage, and the people standing in front of me, I'm unable to give you an arse update (new listees who do not understand this are advised to search for "isobel's arse" on the archives), although they did manage to get about 12 people on the stage at one point... Humourous conversation overheard as the band came on stage: person 1 "which one's stevie jackson then?" person 2 "um, i'm not sure, he'll be there somewhere" me (stepping in to avoid any further embarrassment, sotto voce) "he's standing behind you, dear" and another thing, Bill Wells *is* Steven Wells' brother isn't he? There's definitely a family resemblance, maybe that explains why swells doesn't like twee stuff, maybe Bill used to hit Steven over the head with tallulah gosh records when he was little, or something. By now the sinister posse had expanded to include the pinefox, trousers, xsophie and maria. After the set had finished, with what can only be described as a rousing commitments-style cover of "and the beat goes on", we all tootled off to the Garage for dancing and general mayhem with the strange fruit mob. After dmatt's fantastic sleeping exhibition at the last strange fruit, it was geoff's turn to delight us with a little drunken snooze. The bets are on for the next strange fruit, will it be rich or martin who conks out in a corner. Baxendale were guest djs and thrilled us with tracks from britney, betty boo, and, as we arrived "je suis un rock star" by bill wyman... There was much dancing by pretty much everyone named above, the pinefox being particularly energetic. Other listees present included my tapetree goddess cressida, adam and paul arathoooooooon and his mate, who didn't look like a justin (quick aside: I'm sorry justin, i can't remember your real name, due to advanced pissedness, but please mail me about what we were talking about if yr still up for it ;)). I'd also like to take this opportunity to say thank you to miss lucy for putting me up (putting up with me, more like) on Saturday night. well, i think that's enough from me for one day (I haven't even got on to sunday yet!!). A large crate of props to all of you who were out, and friendly beckoning gestures to anyone who feels like joining us next time (and humble apols to anyone i missed). xoxo CarsmileSteve +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Just a break...need YOUR help
by idleberry 04 Dec '00

04 Dec '00

..from the hassles of DEADLINES! EEK! dissertation draft#1 is finished. Three essays getting extention til next week, when I'm posting them down to my teacher. Presentation due in tomorrow. With notes, so no just reading from the book. Dissertation needs 1000 extra words. Think I will bung in a bit about alien abduction. Not highly original I know. Wrote all my christmas cards. Handed them out. Became popular for a moment. Waiting to see response from those blokes whose cards I stuck mistletoe in, to ensure that their Christmas pulling powers are good. Christmas shopping. Spent over �25 in Body shop, and got a free gift. Not sure whether to give it away, or keep it for myself. BUT SINISTER PEOPLE! before you scroll this page of stuff into oblivion, I need SUGGESTIONS! from you. What do I get my boyfriend for Christmas? Last year he got a sexy little lamp. For both his birthdays hes got a disco ball and a computer keyboard with lazy internet keys. Got my mums pressie, brother wants a harmonica,(don't know why!) and dad wants a BBC CD thing of some old peoples comedy radio show thing. So what do I get boyfriend? All suggestions on the back of an e mail please to the usual addy. Decorated the flat with tinsel and things. Well, I know its still early december, but I'm going home on Thursday. Thats it for the time being. love Idles ===== http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/corduroysmoke we're all smoking our corduroys in our secret little b+s club- what are you doing?? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: 'pologies and sore thumbs
by chris perriman 04 Dec '00

04 Dec '00

hiya sinistroonies sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry my multiple mails were a result of a) over exitement brought on by the onset of christmas and finally being let out of the nursery, and b) i keep double clicking on the send button, must stop that then! my wrist has been firmly slapped by mummy and i've seen the error of my ways *sorry* my thumb's *really* sore coz i stood on some fairy lights and crushed them with my clod hopping feet and as i was tidying it up a tiny piece of glass has lodged itself under the skin and i carnt see it to get it out. bugger (to continue on the bad language theme) anyway, for any of you who were insulted by that revocation of independance thing here's a reply which puts us brits in our place once and for all (or until next time) To the citizens of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, we welcome your concern about our electoral process. It must be exciting for you to see a real republic in action, even if from a distance. As always, we're amused by your quaint belief that you're actually a world power. The sun never sets on the British Empire! Right-o, chum! However, we regretfully have to decline your offer for intervention. On the other hand, it would be amusing to see you try to enforce your new policy (for the 96.3 percent of you that seem to have forgotten that you have little to no real power). After much deliberation, we have decided to continue our tradition as the longest running democratic republic. It seems that switching to a monarchy is in fact considered a "backwards step" by the majority of the world. To help you rise from your current anachronistic status, we have compiled a series of helpful suggestions that we hope you adopt: 1. Realize that language is an organic structure, and that you aren't always correct in your pronunciation or spelling. Let's use your "aluminum" example. Sir Humphrey Davy (an Englishman) invented the name "aluminum" (note spelling) for the metal. However, in common usage the name evolved into "aluminium" to match the naming convention of other elements. In 1925, the United States decided to switch back to the original spelling and pronunciation of the word, at which point we dominated the aluminum industry. We'd also like to point out that the process of actually producing aluminum was developed by an American and a Frenchman (not an Englishman). However, we'd like to thank you for the Oxford English Dictionary. It's an interesting collection, considering that over 10,000 of the words in the original edition were submitted by a crazy American Civil War veteran named Dr. William Charles Minor. 2. Learn to distinguish the American and Canadian accents, and then we'll talk about the English and Australian accent issue. 3. Review your basic arithmetic (Hint 100 - 98.85 = 1.15 and 100 - 97.85 = 2.15). 4. If you want English actors as good guys, then make your own movies. Don't rely on us for your modern popular culture. We liked Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, Trainspotting, and The Full Monty. We've also heard good things about this Billy Elliot. But one good movie a year doesn't exactly make a cultural powerhouse. However, you're doing pretty well with music, so keep up the good work on that front. 5. It's inefficient to have a national anthem that changes its title whenever your monarch dies. Let's not forget that your national anthem has an extremely boring tune. We suggest switching to that "Rule Britannia" ditty, it's toe-tapping. Or maybe Elton John could adapt "Candle In the Wind" again for you guys. 6. Improve at your national sport. Football? Soccer? This just in: United States gets fourth place in men's soccer at the 2000 Summer Olympics. United Kingdom? Not even close. By the way, impressive showing at Euro 2000. You almost managed to get through the tournament without having your fans start an international incident. Hey, we've got more soccer moms, too. 7. Learn how to cook. England has some top-notch candy. Salt 'n' vinegar chips are quite yummy. However, there's a reason why the best food in your country is Indian or Chinese. Your contributions to the culinary arts are soggy beans and warm beer. Perhaps when you finally realize the French aren't the spawn of Satan they'll teach you how to cook. 8. You're doing a terrible job at understanding cars. The obvious error is that you drive on the wrong side of the road. A second problem is pricing, it's cheaper to buy a car in Belgium and ship it to England than to buy a car in England. On the other hand, we like Jaguars and Aston Martins. That's why we bought the companies. 9. We'll tell you who killed JFK when you apologize for Teletubbies. Thank you for your time. You can now return to watching bad Australian soap operas. P.S. Regarding WW2: You're welcome 'and thats all i have to say about that' 'till next time seeya pez* "I may not have been the greatest president but I've had the most fun in the last eight years." -- Bill Clinton to a roaring crowd on Wednesday _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.

Sinister: static art invites desecration in this age of movement
by Steven Kado 04 Dec '00

04 Dec '00

so i'm busy avoiding an essay ok... none of you wiseasses have chipped in any help on this wittgenstein thing and time is running out ok? i had to fight the overwhelming temptation to have vodka with breakfast. not that i really drink that much but i was looking in the fridge for the orange juice and there was the vodka, just sitting pretty, looking nice and appealingly eastern european right there in the fridge door...smiling back to me. its snowing now, so i'm listening to IFYS. which seems like a good snow album. despite the massive confession this summer that nobody likes IFYS and that sturan doesn't like it either (and if anyone knows a thing or two about belle and sebastian its...) so we agree with *STURAN* (sigh), i still think IFYS is my fav. Beeandess elpee. has anyone noticed what a shoddy rhyme there is in me and the major where stu rhymes army with army? that's almost ozzy osbourne like in terms of rhyming badness...like rhyming iron man with iron man or dead with dead. i've also been listening to lots of the flying lizards of late, because their first album is actually amazing and about communism and such and isn't at all the stupid novelty record everyone likes to think it is. (thanks leslie) perhaps the only band i could imagine could would do a better cover of a bertold brecht song would be the late lamented gender-math-panic superstars the crainium, but i don't think they did one. which is too bad. i'd love to have heard james screech out pirate jenny or something else with lots of gore. mmm. robyn mentioned our nice little canadian election. also a while before that genevieve mentioned having a crush on conservative underdog-boy-we-sure-miss-you-old-tories-now-that-the-alberta-nazi-party-see ms-to-be-important-now-please-come-back-even-though-i-used-to-hate-your-guts -so-much leader joe clark. i think his 'man-sized' hands were specificially an issue. i found that most girls i knew felt strangely turned on by joe 'the turkey' clark, something about him seeming smart and having nice glasses, not that they'd ever vote conservative or anything...and did anyone see his daughter on tv? woo. ok enough... breakfast. s t e v e n +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: You said it was dangerous after Sunday
by Brier Random 04 Dec '00

04 Dec '00

Hi Listos, Brier here, still alive, still posting (sorry Chris!!!). Has anyone heard that Pat Benetar is planning a carefully-timed comeback on the heels of the renewed public interest in her smash "Love Is A Battlefield"? My sources say it's back on the playlist of radio stations in some major cities. Pray she doesn't re-mix it though. Anyone else think the Police's "Don't Stand So Close To Me '92" or whatever, was a crime against humanity? That was the beginning of the end for Sting as we knew him. Do we all go soft when we get old? And I gotta lift my jaw off the floor long enough to comment on the resurgence of beautifully erotic "Body Parts" photos of late. I feel guilty even looking at them without giving my credit card number first. Gawd. They've got my man-thing all flustered. P.S. Keep them pouring in, kids. And I think this Gift Exchange thing is a neato idea, and I hope you are all registering with allspeed. We did a Sinister Santa Mixtape Exchange two years ago, and the tape I got still remains one of my favorites. Branching out to include all kinds of furry & complex homemade devices is a nice evolution. But no fruitcake, please. Gotta pee, ending this here.
