Sinister: Saturday afternoon

Hiya Sinister, I'm just waiting for my sister to come over so we can get our hair cut. I got the Clientele single i had to say this/monday's rain, but the hole in the center of it isn't big enough to fit on the record player at my parents' house, and there's only one other boy I know at school who has a record player so I'll have to wait 'til I go back to school and I can't ask him for any favors just now cos I'm trying to act like I don't care. Anyway, I did recklessly listen to it, all wobbly like, very dangerous I know. monday's rain was fine, but the needle sort of skimmed the surface when it was going back to it's place on i had to say this, but I dare not listen to it again to see if it was scratched at all. Both songs are on suburban light, but it makes all the difference to hear it as a single I found out: it's just that there's more space around the song, space and time to get up and turn it over, hovering over the turntable, thinking about the song. It's no use putting in more silence between songs, as Mark Robinson so carefully notes that he did on the Flin Flon cd: then you're just waiting. OK, my sister is knocking. You've got to see "Ratcatcher". I think it takes place in Glasgow. Yours, Youn +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: i'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain*
by fiona 16 Dec '00

piaow!! thought i'd bid you all farewell before i go home and leave my uni email account to stack up with posts over christmas. mark casserole wondered why i'd want to spoil christmas by sneaking a peek at my presents early. basically, its because i just can't resist. its been particularly difficult this year because the hiding place my mum has chosen is my room because i haven't been there, but when i go back the temptation will be there all over again. argh!! perhaps though, its to do with keats' idea that anticipation of an event is always superior to the event itself, so as human beings we are always let down, unless we just stay in and use our imaginations. maybe its just easier to get on with the process of being let down rather than just to continue with the feelings of anticipation and frustration. didn't see that one coming did you? guess what... i've blagged my way into a regular slot in student radio!! nyah ha ha, the fun we'll have throwng insults as far as we can broadcast... don't know if this has been discussed before, but does anyone know what togepi is in pokemon? i've been searching on the internet, but stuff just wants to tell me about intricate nintendo passwords and starategies. grrr. just a short one today then, i have to go and scrub my baking tray, no really, i've got a can of mr muscle waiting for me in the kitchen. love and irn-bru, fiona. *roy wood = genius / greatest songwriter ever (ooh, controversial) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://clubs.yahoo.com.clubs/worldofirnbru twee scottish pop. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: rhino in the water goes
by Kenneth P Y Chu 16 Dec '00

Hi, Oh dear I seem to be quite drunk, but I'll try my best to form sentances properly after the first proper night in Milton Keynes... I always thought that once I get back to home it'll be okay, that I'll no longer see girls who I fancy kissing other boys, but no, it doesn't stop, it carries on. Hmm, great. I am not going to get me down tho, somehow, I haven't figured out how yet. I have now bought the It's a cool cool Christmas album, after hearing how good O Come O Come Emmanuel is on mp3, unfortunately, some of the other songs on the album aren't quite as good (some were actually quite poop), but at least I've donated money to charity in buying the thing, even tho I could have been listening to the song on my walkman whilst buying 11 copies on the Big Issue instead. The B&S song alone tho, was worth the money in itself. The bit with Sturan in it was especially good. I am very sorry to my Christmas gift exchange people, that I haven't yet sent your presents yet and you'll probably get it late now, I'm sorry, but I assure you that it will be worth it. I have also fallen in love recently with the first CD of the magnetic fields' 69 love songs, it makes me feel in love, even when I'm hopelessly not. Well you can't have it all, or any of it in my case but who cares.

Sinister: The World is as Soft as Lace
by Jason McKinnon 16 Dec '00

16 Dec '00

Hey Cynisters, Well....the car got broken into last nite for the 3 time in 4 months. So, I'm brooding and listening to "I Don't Love Anyone". :( Just wanted to be very selfish and tell you guys one of my favorite lyrics. (I think this would be considered ANTI-Content cos it's not a Belle and Sebastian Lyric this time) "Here's where your mother sleeps.....Here is the room where your brothers were born. Indentions in the sheets, where their bodies moved but dont move anymore. It's so sad to see The World agree that They'd rather see their faces filled with lies... When I want to keep white roses in their eyes" That's from the song "Holland, 1945" by Neutral Milk Hotel. And every time I hear that I can't stop weeping......

Sinister: Claire Swile
by Stephen Hewitt 15 Dec '00

ello babies I've just been for work xmas lunch and am now slightly pished so i thought i'd spread some xmas cheer, by dribbling into yr inboxes, due to my inability to go into chat cos my monitor faces into the room and it's a bit obvious... so i bought some christmas cards which feature a small robin on a washing line and they are entitled "on line" which i didn't notice til i got them home, but i thought was rather appropriate. Jen said: A boy called Andrew said I was the Kissing Angel, because I would go to parties with him and snog (but god I hate that word) all the boys and girls who'd never been kissed before, because they were nerds. WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I WAS A LAD!!! *carsmile sighs David said we should all go and vote and stuff. I admit i have not submitted my vote yet, but that's only cos i can't think of five good albums i've bought released this year and i'm torn about my fave gig. David, is it ok if i submit a 2000 word e-mail of me wittering on rather than just a list? RAD said she was doing her dissertation on being in chat and reading mailing lists and stuff which i say is CHEATING and NOT A SERIOUS SUBJECT and I WISH I'D THOUGHT OF IT FIRST :) but if that's her topic what's she going to do to procrastinate... I notice the number of posts leaps rather dramatically about the time that people have essays to hand in/exams to revise for. Cassaroldperson complained about the booze prices at the notting hill art place thingy, which explains why he has a big house and a mortgage and i have nothing but a beer belly. Oh and in case anyone missed it earlier in the week: ROTA @ Notting Hill Arts Club, Tomorrow FOURpm til about 8, Baxendale and probably some others live on stage, FREE to get in, LOADS of sinisterines coming all ready, don't be shy, come along, I look like this: http://www.missprint.org/sinister/things/SteveAndMegsParty.html Anyone who comes up to me and says "You are carsmilesteve and i claim my free prize" will get, unsurprisingly, a free prize. so i'll see you all tomorrow then, innit :) xoxo CarsmileSteve +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Planet Nice

Andrea Kittenmouse said: "I was wondering, does anyone know any good books on the subject of something like 'how to survive in Scotland/UK without people laughing at you or beating the crap out of you and taking your money'?" REALLY! This will never do! There is no need for books like "Don't get robbed in Rothesay" or "Stay Alive in Ayr" - SIMPLY NO NEED!!! Scotland is Planet Nice! In fact, after only 10 minutes there, you'll realise there's far too much love to go around it's healthily moderate population. I can't wait to wave "Cheeray!" to London and get on the blessed easyjet(tm) - HOME for Christmas - ahh. It's 10 degrees colder, but 100 degrees COOLER! It's alright ma, they're only weigies.

I don't know if anyone else out there likes MD, as much as I do, but I just got a new Sharp model, and you can now record like 5 hours of music on one MD disc ! I have been told the sound deterioration is bad, but I can't tell the difference, I wonder if it is because it's ditital or what, but it's VERY nice to have like all the B & S albums on one disc (and then some b-sides)... Plus the battery life is like 29 hours (it's rechargeable). I just saw Cat Power about one hour ago... Chan Marshal has long hair and ... she did "Wonderwall" (by Oasis, you might remember that tune?) and "Free Bird". If you like the Gentle Waves, you might like Cat Power, I suppose.

Sinister: i wish i could draw a line through all of 1999
by Aubrey 15 Dec '00

15 Dec '00

Sinister kids, Tracy's introduction inspired me, I suppose. I've been out of the nursery for quite some time but just haven't introduced myself. Hm. Anyhow, hello, I'm Aubrey and I'm a girl from Portland, Oregon. I'm a high school senior dealing with all that stuff that high school seniors classically deal with. So that pretty much summarizes my life at the moment. I'm sitting in my room listening to the new Gentle Waves album feebly attempting to decide which colleges to apply to. Usually I pretend that my future doesn't exist (it helps with coping), but I can't really do that anymore. Alas. Well, as pointful as this has all been, I'll take my leave now.
