Sinister: A very merry un-birthday to me...

Hi y'all. I would like to apply for the post of Village Councillor. If you have a problem, come knocking on my door - it's the one that's always open <smile> Strict patient confidentiality will, of course, be observed. My fees are resonable (I'm cheap, in other words) and I won't laugh <smile>. Hope to see my first patient soon...... Daniel Ryder said: >hi jason doll Well, I dunno if I'm a doll, but if there's any gal out there who wants an action man <grin> Kev has been feeling unhappy: Well, Kev, I suppose sometimes we just look too closely at this big bad world of ours and when you do that it makes it a lot easier to see more bad than good. I know how shitty life can be, and so do most folk here, probably, we've been through a lot - it's what makes us who we are. Concentrate on the good things, the music, the dancing, the kids, and we'll get you through <smile> A little personal plea now.... Would >>>HEATHER McDONALD<<< *please* get in touch with me? You vanished and I've not seen or heard from you since, and I've been a bit worried. On a similar note, don't you guys think a 'missing persons' office would be good for the village. Someone whose job it is to track down missing/old listees when those who need/want to talk to them can't find them? Thanks everyone. *HUGS* --Jason Andreas A one-man civil war.....

well, leyla was a pleasant girl and said i could be sinister's official massage-er, which i think is GRATE since i give such good ones. but i still want to be the Mediocre Street Busker, ok? so everyone be pleasant! i am listening to allen clapp, and he is GRATE, even if i haven't been listening very hard. i am waiting until i get a discman so i'm forced to concentrate. does anyone have an old four-track recorder they would like to sell me? i could really use one, just to putz around on... i like making tapes of things, being a budding songwriter and all... anyway. not sure what else there si to say. of course, i haven't read through my daily allotment of sinister messages today, so there might be something to reply to... so you might be hearing from me again tonight. ah, well. aconover(a)optonline.net Tempus Fugit is at: http://www.i2.i-2000.com/~conover/tempus/main.html +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Camber Sands.......now that got your attention!
by Colin Mowat 29 Feb '00

29 Feb '00

Tuesday 29 February 2000 01:56 Dear People, First of all - HAPPY LEAP YEAR'S DAY - now I can't say that here for another four years second, and just as important, I was in Oxfam (a charity shop) in Ealing, West London today and for £1.99 I got a copy of (on cassette) Songs of the Free by Gang of Four, now this is wierd because I, just two days ago, ordered their first album called Entertainment from amazon. I used to own both of these albums in the early '80's on vinyl (and I've no idea if there were any center etchings - so no one ask me).......so what? I hear in chorus...well nostalgia is part of it, but it's also a great album, although now deleted. Entertainment was a better album, as far as I remember and I now can't wait to hear it again. Anthrax was a brilliant track. So what's so good about them.........? "one the most powerful rhythm sections of the era, completed a line-up that was soon in the post-punk vanguard" "King's Marxist-intellectual lyrics drew much attention, but it was the band's overall sound which startled - punky in its minimalism and attack, but made distinctive by Gill's choppy, stroppy guitar style, involving lashings of feedback - sometimes brilliant, sometimes awful - which were fully incorporated into the songs, rather than as a mere climax to the performance. (This technique anticipated the sonic assault of The Jesus & Mary Chain in the mid-80s.) Of equal importance to the Gang's sound was the inventive drumming of Burnham, and Allen's rich, driving bass, which provided a watertight 'martial funk' basis for freewheeling voice and guitar. The overall effect was of Dr. Feelgood and Sly And The Family Stone rehearsing in the same room." "Gang Of Four's rock-funk template was being widely adopted by everyone from Talking Heads to The Pop Group" "Entertainment shredded everything that came before it. The Gang Of Four know how to swing. I stole a lot from them" Michael Stipe REM all quotes from The Rough Guide to Rock If you get a chance take a listen (try your library), don't miss out............and listen for influences on B&S.........Well I can't find any but I had to metion B&S, didn't I Honey. Anyone out there remember Gang of Four?.........go on admit it! yeah, yeah so I also remember seeing Bill Grundy egging on the Sex Pistols to swear on early evening telly in 1976.....(now that's a piece of history).......... Sinisteree 1 - "What's he going on about? Sinisteree 2 - Don't ask me I wasn't even born in '76. ....as I said nostalgia..........try and avoid it - you can't - for me it's Poggles Wood and UFO and my dad driving us to Camber Sands.......now you've all heard of Camber Sands (yeah, well it was there in 1970 as well).................... as I said nostalgia..............so what's your nostalgia?.........come on, don't be shy! sweet dreams and sweeter dadreams (that was supposed to be daydreams - must have been thinking of Camber Sands).......by the way I take my kids there now........well I used to anyway........hope to do it again this year......... the more that things change, the more they stay the same (can't remember the French translation) Colin +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Pantsocracy
by David Moore 28 Feb '00

28 Feb '00

Big up all the slack arseholes on the Sinister list! J.D. Salinger wrote: "All this village malarkey reminds me of an experiment formulated by top fop poets Worsdworth and Coleridge in, oh, about 1540 probably. They decided, little poetic scamps that they were, to up-sticks to America and start a new life in a simple self-sustaining village community: ...As it happens, they only got as far as Wales, where they lived off the land for about 3 hours before giving up ("Sod this for a game of soldiers, Mr Wordsworth. Let's get lashed"). & I thought to myself, he must mean Coleridge & Southey, who laid plans to form 'Pantisocracy' in Pennsylvania during the 1790's. That'll be me for the village pedant, then, an activity I can subsidise from my sales of infra-red binoculars to the Sini-pervs from my stall down by the lake.

Sinister: but i don't even believe in jeebus!
by blair hicks 28 Feb '00

28 Feb '00

oh sinister, goodness knows i've tried to sit down and write the lot of you, but time hasn't been on my side as of late. apologies all around - i know that my two previous posts left you yearning for more, and i'm only sorry i haven't made myself a little less forgettable. somebody has to run the comic book shop in the sinister village, and no one is more suited to the task than me (hopefully, this will finally kill my remaining hope for a list-crush vote). i'll stock the shelves and mind the back-issues, while maintaing that cynical, snide, and generally jaded demeanor that comic store patrons have grown to love. thought it's so un-hip that it stinks to high heaven, i had my first sinister dream the other night, and now you all get to read about it. all i recall was that the group was playing in front of a red velvet curtain, and that only their silhouettes were visible. god only knows what all that amounts to, psycologically speaking. before i move this posse on down the trail, let me just say to all of you lovely people who joined my transformers mailing list that i'm really, amazingly sorry that there hasn't been any mail for weeks and weeks. i've been having some problems as of late, but things should be up and running again in just a little bit. bless you lot for signing up at all - you're all going to heaven. fondly, blair _______________________________________________________ Get 100% FREE Internet Access powered by Excite Visit http://freeworld.excite.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Last night a DJ saved my life.
by Chris_t_opher 28 Feb '00

28 Feb '00

I'm the boy who could cope with solitary confinement...... Tompaulin was a laff. The audience was amusing. We had an Ali G impersonator, some big Morrissey fans (fringe et al), some (semi)gothic kids, my brother's *fuzzy* friend, a few obvious B+S fans and Me. I didnt see any badges tho, which was disappointing. AND Starry was not there!!! Tut Starry. The gig was very good, considering how few they've done before. I think virtually all of you will love the band for the two singer's voices. Just start listening to the Evening Session if you want to hear them. (foreign listees try www.bbc.co.uk/radio1) Can someone tell me what =?iso-8859-1?q?maureen=20cassera?= is supposed to say? > Cris-t-opher wants to run a RecOrD ShoP as well... so watch out Christa... you have to be more competitive... I'm quite happy to work WITH Christa. Anyway, it's going to be a busy shop, isn't it (All you music-buying sinisterines and everything)? Just one question - who IS Christa? :) Ericabot wrote: > I know a boy called Barry, he's got a ford Capri inside his arms, that's where I wanna be I know a boy called Barry, he's got a thing for me and when we kiss it feels so hea-ven-ly > I know a boy called Barry, yeah he's got his gang when they're around, he never holds my hand I know a boy called Barry, he's got a bomber jacket and the music that he likes, well it's just this awful racket. > There's a chorus too, but you'll just have to wait until I'm on Top Of The Pops for that. Well, Miss Erica, i think it should be done like one of those completely talentless punk bands. If you could get the whole song in less than 30 seconds, it's just bound to be radio-friendly and then you'll DEFINITELY go Number One. BUT, it also means you'll only be on TOTP for 30 seconds :( [SUBJECTIVE MUSIC FACT: Fonda 500 are the UK's Sparklehorse but with the nuttiness of SuperFurryAnimals, if anyone was wondering] Is there a Stylish Email class i could take?....

Sinister: help me jeebus!
by GardeningAtNight＠aol.com 28 Feb '00

germy jeremy said: << Talking of which, Keith M shouted from the rooftops: >american beauty is the worst movie ever but he was wrong. >> So, is it good or is it crap? StuD and wee Karn didn't like it I know, and everyone I've heard either says that they love it or they hate it. The only reason I've got a sour feeling about seeing it is because of the hype, which really is an awful reason. But then, I'm probably just bitter because it was nominated and won a million times over my favorite movies of the winter, Being John Malkovich, Man on the Moon, and The Talented Mr. Ripley (which I've seen twice and I'd like to nominate as the in-house movie at the Sinister theatre.. is there one yet?). And why was the Great Beyond not nominated for best original song? Phil Collins can piss off, he's crap anyway. the thoughtful boy then said: << Finally, let's all hope Samantha gets better soon. You should have consulted the *sinister* doctor, dear, in our village :) *He* would have diagnosed strep throat. Or at least given it to you. >> Who's the doctor? Or are you being sinister and not saying it's you when it really is you, and then going ahead and saying that he, which is you, should've given it to me? You're such a cheeky monkey. I like it. But anyways, I'm better now, yeah. Just in time to go back to school and face 7 teachers, each of whom thinks their class is the most important. I about drove myself insane worrying about each upcoming class, especially photography in which I missed the darkroom demonstration. I thought I'd love this class, but my teacher's a real *moke* and makes me feel like a complete klutz (which I am, but she should at least be sympathetic). I'm working with a partner now and we've not even developed our film yet, whilst everyone else in the class is already making contact sheets. We just whisper to each other, "do you know what we're supposed to do next?" And we never know and are too afraid to ask the teacher. I want to transfer to a school in the Sinister village. Or at least switch to Ink Polaroids. Tony said regarding buying Nick Drake a pint and having a chat: << but this is exactly what he was like - happy, laughing enjoying a pint and a smoke in the local, the myth of the melancholy loner is only half the truth. How he became lost is a mystery even to his closest friends. Read Patrick Humphries' biography for more insight... >> That book is one of my bibles, I love it. But I still feel like chris_t_opher does about Nick. Because all I know about him is from the stories I've read and the music, which is otherworldly on its own in a way, everything regarding his life just seems like a dream to me. There's only one interview with him personally that I've ever read and there's only that small bit of recorded spoken word. There's nothing solid about him, even looking at photographs. And it's all from so long ago (at least to me, I was born 10 years after he died). It's hard to explain but I think you understand. I think that if I actually saw Tanworth and his grave, he might seem realer. I hope so at least. And I hope that there's a good deal on airfare so my mom will agree on going to England for spring break.

Sinister: anyone want to hang out w/ a mod kid who's visiting london?
by kittenmouse radio 28 Feb '00

28 Feb '00

hi, i apologize in advance if this is list abuse, but a good pal of mine (who isn't on the list, but probably should be) is going to be visiting London in late March, and desperately wants to meet up or hang out with like minded people since he doesn't know anything about the place (and London is REALLY big). are there any meet-ups/picnics planned for london during that time? any londoners care to hang out with a silly american who is obsessed with paul weller, scooters, b&s and esp suede? (of course pulp as well) anyway, if anyone is interested, you could correspond via email with him, just tell me and i'll give you his email addy. or you could send me yours and i'll give it to him. thanks (and to leyla, yes, you do know this person..heehee) thanks again!! sincerely, andrea kittenmouse +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
