Sinister: more blah blah from fla fla
by Pelican303＠aol.com 24 Mar '00

24 Mar '00

I have yet to read Alasdair's second enstallment, for I am rather distracted by NCAA b-ball and I'm sure it deserves my full attention, for the first was sheer genius. I was so afraid that Part II was somewhere in the batch of e-mails I erased when I got back from break (I know...I'm a horrid person). As for song titles et al....well, I"ve already said dick slap could have nothing to do certain body parts (therefore, none of us males must really reveal our "twee" selves for your pleasure) and I think it is rather rediculous to judge an album by titles. To all those suffering crises...I can't reacall who it was (apologies), but someone complained about people telling them to smile more...well, if psychology class taught me anything (and it is questionable that it did) then it is that there is such a thing as the Facial Feedback Theory saying that the brain may take cues from the face just as much as the opposite. In other words...smiling sets of synapses in the happy zone...in other other words...smiling makes you happy. Try it. Smile real big at the screen....boy, you look pretty dumb...now frown at the screen. Notice a difference? Thank you to everyone who sent belated birthday wishes....I love you all very much. I went out and treated myself to a bunch of music I couldn't afford. I picked up Momus's Ping Pong and was blown away (I bought 20 vjs and thought some of it was great...but not all). He ranks as my second fav lyricist of all time behind Elvis Costello. I love someone who can really fuck with the English language. Also picked up some Super Furry Animals....how damn cool...kinda like Spacehog with those boys from The Proclaimers doing lead vocals...lovin it. Okey dokey...time to go root against Mich St. He hops on his mod scooter and zooms off.

Sinister: Straight Outta Nappies!

Hello! I guess I'm kind of new.. I was on Sinister before, a year ago or so, but then stuff happened..so now I'm back. I doubt any of you remember me...so on with the introduction.. My name is Heather. I'm 19 years old. I've been a fan since IYFS came out. I was a naive sixteen year old... ahh..to be understood... Well.. now, I'm in college. double majoring in creative writing and fine art. double majoring until i drive myself up the wall..screen printing will most likely be the current cause of that... my main interests are poetry and plays i attempt to write both....and photography. I do that too! I went out to lunch with my best friend (who is also a converted B&S fan) we were talking about the new single... I managed to scream, "Judy is a dick slap," throughout a crowded restaurant. I got some dirty looks, but what do you expect from those lewd belle and sebastian followers... such mouths! Other music I like: Mogwai, Arab Strap, Godspeed You Black Emperor!, Elliott Smith, Looper (but I have to admit i prefer Nalda Said over Up A Tree), My favorite writers are Charles Bukowski and Bret Easton Ellis. wow. i'm quite boring. well...before I get sulky over how mundane I just portrayed myself to be.. I'm off... Love and Sparkles, Heatherxoxo ?+?+?+?+?+?+?+?+?+?+?+?+?+?+?+?+?+?+?+?+?+?+?+?+?+?+?+?+?+?+?

Sinister: after changes upon changes we are more or less the same
by The Narrow Wizard 23 Mar '00

23 Mar '00

well folks I'm back from Madrid with a lovely suntan actually that's not true but at least I've now gone white instead of my usual pale blue colour. there's lots that I want to reply to but I probably won't remember it all now. the weeklies late eighties belonged to NME cos they at least realised that hip hop existed and liked public enemy a lot. Early nineties to MM though cos they actually had people who could write about music rather than just jump on a bandwagon. these days they are both populist rubbish selling to oasis/manics/stereophonics fans (oh yeah and those who like the one song that travis have recorded 20 times with different lyrics) and so the only opinion I trust for music is the list opinion, it hasn't let me down yet. the single I love winter wooskie, northern soul ensemble...hmmm if it's done well it'll be great, if not it could be a bit ropey, as for the instrumental, please let it be upbeat with lots of lovely horns and not something slow like century of elvis without voiceover. new album people worried about it being crap....well lets just wait and see, I don't think the track list is usually considered a guide to how good an album is (Nasenbluten's tracklist for 100 percent no soul guaranteed being the obvious exception, how could tracks like cuntface and cocksucker not be good? and the only tracks without naughty words on a 2 record set were called kill more people and concrete compresser). And I'm not too worried that others than stu M are doing more writing cos it's like simon and garfunkel sang (in their reunion concert in central park in 81, in a verse added to the boxer) "after changes upon changes we are more or less the same" now what else did i want to reply to bollox I can't remember one point though every male who has typed the name of the instrumental track on the new single to the list owes the bodyparts page a photo, as does all those who said things about damage to certain muscles (girls as well that one). was reading saturdays guardian suplement today (missed it when I was in Madrid) and it had extracts of sylvia plath's journal in it. Very good which is a problem cos it'll cost 30 pounds when it's released on april 3rd, why can't I like cheap books, catherine cookson can be found in charity shops throughout the land but not anything good. right that's enough crap from me for now love as always owen With that the narrow wizard waggled his bushy eyebrows and disappeared in a flash of blue flame leaving behind only a faint smell of cinnamon +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Re: sinister-digest V4 #94

Lo! My first post! I am a rat friends. A cager, in search of his cheese. My body is foul and rank. The curtains drawn, I sip upon watery porridge. Hang it all, Robert Browning! Hang it all! Now I shiver, naked in morning's violent dawn; exposed for the farce that I am! Lo! I pray I might be able to add to this discussion in the future. Spit on me; disease me, I am indeed foul; deserving only of being buried in a burning pile of my own feces. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: The Madness and Melancholy of March
by FearofMops＠aol.com 23 Mar '00

23 Mar '00

march madness on the list. hmmmm......i must agree w/ Mr. Pelican Rob that while i tend to ignore sports NCAA B-Ball gets me as hyper as a pre-teen Ricky Martin fan. not sure i can explain why. i seem to be suffering some sort of mid-life crisis, except i'm not middle aged so i guess mid-life would be inaccurate. anyhoo i seem to lack the drive/discipline/whatever to do anything. about the only thing that gets me going right now is music and basketball. this is thoroughly depressing since i take no active part in either of them. i'm merely a spectator, watching and listening to other people doing things i want to. others my age are off getting degrees and starting careers. i go to work every day at a job that was supposed to have been merely for the summer, it's now been 3 years. ich. has anyone experienced anything similar? i just know there's more to life than buying cd's and filling in brackets. enough of the depressing stuff. on to the mildly more uplifting stuff. while i have yet to find another soul in this city who likes B&S, i have discovered a music store that actually has a decent selection, and in the very suburb in which i live no less. it turns out that the manager is into godspeed you black emperor! and such. she told me that those cd's never sell, but since she likes it, she keeps it in stock. she has restored my faith in humanity. there seems to be a minor panic w/ some of the listees regarding the new album. no i don't have any words of comfort, but i do want to say that i hope to hell you're wrong. i hope the album's brilliant and i don't want to think about it sucking. besides, all we can do is wait. aahhh....i've rambled on far too long and probably put most of you to sleep by now, if you've made it this far. actually i'm getting quite sleepy....still have to return to work. yick. stay twee, smutty, and debauched all. ciao, dustan +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Judy In A Dorothy Perkins Slip
by David Moore 23 Mar '00

23 Mar '00

Hi Fluffy Bunnies, HMMMMMM! A new single. Nice, although I think its a bit of a cheek using the B&S Song Generator to come up with material for proper releases, even in the v 2.0 smutty format. Also cheeky: having to fork out for 2 formats to get all the tracks. Are Jeepster pimps if they make us pay for an extended dick slap? Right now the thought of "an ensemble piece ... sounding more like an infectious northern soul dance-floor anthem" fills me with dread, but maybe that feeling can be replaced with pleasant surprise when I actually get to hear it. Congratulations to Councillor Evans, who I gather may be joining the New Sympathetic Labour Party in November. Can I be the first to say Judy Is A Dip Stick ? At least these are short, David Moore Chelmsford, UK +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: The writing for pleasure you wouldn't let me read
by Mike 23 Mar '00

23 Mar '00

Hello, I finished Nalda Said the other day. And I have to say I loved it. I'm still trying to come to terms with the ending, not because it's crap, but because it's so... well, if you've read it you know what it is but I don't want to say and spoil things for everyone who hasn't read it yet. I remember someone said they got angry with Reynard. I found myself getting a little frustrated, but I was always more sympathetic than angry. A lot of the things he does I can actually relate to, so that made it all make some kind of sense. "Step change" said, >Just for the record. Worksop is ace. Worksop always will be ace. And twee, >full of lovely people, with bunnies on small red tee-shirts. I wonder if a) you're on drugs or b) I know you?! :) The most twee saying I've heard today is 'didily squat', as in 'you know didily squat', which is much nicer than saying 'you know f*** all'. I'm pretty certain that isn't how you spell didily though. Thought you might like to know, for some reason that escapes me right now. I have a feeling I'm going to like the new album. just from the song titles, I know. I'm a bit worried that the manager said it is 'a bit shinier', because B&S have never struck me as being a shiny band. Leave the shininess to..erm, you know. Shiny people. As for the EP. Well, I'm still waiting for my postie to bring me This Is Just A Modern rock Song (abbreviations are pants). If I have to order Legal Man as well I'll be, like, old before it arrives. I bet it's good though, as it only can be. Hang on, let me just do some complex mental arithmetic.. 1, 2, 3. Three tracks! Sell out. Like dude, they've like totally sold their souls to the devil man. They've like, caved in to pressure from the system, dude. 4 Tracks are nicer. I want my EPs to last twenty minutes, and unless that dick slap is very extended indeed then I doubt this will be happening. Whatever happened to boo to the business world? Well, I'm going out on Saturday. While to many of you this would be no big deal (I mean going out in general, rather than what I'm doing) I am in fact very sad. I'm making the effort, though, 'cos I've heard that's what you should do when you hit 18. I think I might be getting a bit too old a bit too fast, cause I can't be bothered to leave the house half the time. Before I know it I'll be considering buying slippers, and maybe even selling all my records to buy the entire back catalogue of the Lighthouse Family. That is when we truly die. Not really listening to the Lighthouse Family, Mike smiley(a)rebelmonkey.freeserve.co.uk http://www.rebelmonkey.freeserve.co.uk PS. Sorry if you like the Lighthouse Family.

Sinister: Part 2 (Oh God, he wasn't serious was he!?)
by Alasdair Cook MC1996 23 Mar '00

23 Mar '00

Hello again, my dear friends. Some points of order. Miss Robin said: > Trying to work out if Alasdair is a comedy genius, or just > plain bonkers.. Unfortunately I think everyone knows the answer to that one, Robin. I read in the paper yesterday that Yusuf Islam, TAFKA Cat Stevens has joined the fight against the repeal of Section 28. Seems not everyone is allowed on his fucking Peace Train, eh? Once again we receive a reminder of the fact that Geoff Sheridan does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING at work, except design nice flyers in a Milkybar Kid stylee. I like. Went to see Being John Malkovich last night, which everyone should go and see now as it is completely insane. The first 15 minutes alone are worth the price of admission, and if it doesn't win the Oscar for best original screenplay then Tom Cruise is a monkey. Oh, hang on... Also bears out the only rule of cinema; go and see EVERYTHING with John Cusack in it. Even 16 Candles. Anyway, on to much less good things: 'And ever, as the story drained The wells of fancy dry. And faintly strove that weary one To put the subject by. "The rest next time" - "It IS next time!" The happy voices cry.' I doubt the happy part, but anyway, here it is. Get you notebook out, Nick. Highlights of the year so far. Part Deux. 6. Mexico! at the Mark Mcmanus Memorial Theatre. Recreating the 1970 World Cup as a play was never going to be an easy task, and thus it proved. The script underwent 137 separate re-writes by 56 different authors, and tragedy struck when Eric Colonial (who was due to play 40-fags-a-day Brazilian midfielder Gerson) died of lung cancer after taking the art of method acting to it's pinnacle. Despite these setbacks, director Paul Pot's vision is extraordinary in it's scope, recreating all 32 matches in their entirety with the use of 203 actors all plying their noble art on a stage 12ft long by 10ft wide. The highlight of the night was undoubtedly the first round match between England and Brazil, which flowed like a divine river of football, perfect in almost every detail. In a wonderful homage to Beckett, Roberto Fluggle (who plays Jairzinho) emerges from a trashcan to score the only goal. Arthur Maelstrom, who plays Gordon Banks, is clinically blind and has a false leg after sustaining a fatal Second World war injury in 1958, which makes his save from Hamish McCalpine's Pele all the more remarkable, although the goals are of course less than full size. McCalpine himself is he star of the night, immersing himself in the role to such an extent that he could almost BE the great man, were it not for the fact that he is white. Pot has described his leading man's performance as "almost like a cross between Sidney Poitier and Sylvester Stallone, though a better goalkeper than either man." McCalpine injects exactly the right amount of wisdom and joy into his performance, though tinged with sadness at having missed much of the previous 2 tournaments through injury. This is certainly no one-man show, however, with Gregor Pet and John Fingly superb as Cubillas and Riva respectively, playing their parts and taking their goals with flair and aplomb. The only let-down is the abscence of Bobby Moore's court case, which could have injected a dose of broad comedy into a production which at times borders on the pretentious. It thankfully nevr reaches that stage, however, thanks to the wonderful flourishes of Pot, whose surrealistic dream sequences are a particular treat (witness Gerd Muller being chased through the streets of Cairo by an enraged camel, perfectly illustrating his country's failure to by-pass Italy in the semi-final, the camel of course representing Franz Beckenbauer's shoulder injury), and whose talent is the equal of his ambition in almost every scene. Except scene 34. 7. Reinventing The Meal by Darian Daur. This wonderful new art collection demonstrates all of Daur's current vibrancy and originality, and is a treat from first exhibit to last. In it he creates portraits of famous figures using only food, and the results are moving, thought-provoking and often amusing. The best pieces (though the choice is a hard one) are "Sole", a portrait of Marvin Gaye made entirely of fish; "Dirty Bitch", a profile of Marilyn Monroe made of cheesecake, picking up on her outward sweetness allied to her biscuity personality underneath and ; "Nice Hat", where the famous image of Che Guevara is recreated using red and green chillis. Duar's work is currently touring the country. See it if you can. 8. Breadbin by Angus Blackfoot This new collection of stories cements Angus Blackfoot's reputation as one of the finest exponents of the short form (or indeed any form) currently writing. The stories here are by turns wildly funny, coldly manipulative, angrily shoddy and lazily good. His prose is easily readable, yet go back and you'll pick up new depths of meaning every time. "What we talk about when we talk about gloves" is a hilarious faux-history of hand garments; "The burglars of Morgan Street" is a disturbing story about a man whose house is ransacked by a gang of chipmunks while "A beery story" tells the surreal tale of a man who gets hideously drunk, forgets the world is round and falls off. The best of the lot, however, is "Bing!", in which Blackfoot's staccatto train of thought style is both highly original and highly effective. A passage follows: "All never ears red memory maybe. Always red sorry? Bing invisible radiation. Her body shining squelching image ears red. Edges angles light reflects what? Bing ears spark spaniel bark fading red. One square sausage climate change invisible brown new black. Ears shiny almost nothing. Bing memory returns never here almost there bing ears bing red bing at last bing it's over." Breadbin is the kind of book which reinforces your belief in the art of storytelling, and Angus Blackfoot is a master of the art whose voice remains unique. 9. Whose Afraid Of Virginia Plains? I'm not usually a fan of TV drama, too much Robson Green for my liking, but this was a rare exception. As both a meditation on the process of ageing and the tale of a marriage on the rocks, this was compelling stuff. Lead actors Tracy Crum and Peter Gunn play Sandra and George Formby respectively, two fifty-something Londoners tied together by two children and the bonds of marriage, though growing increasingly far apart as Stacy refuses to accept her decscent into middle age and George becomes increasingly infatuated with their neighbour Jill. A scene follows: George: (As Stacy enters, drunk). And just where have you been? Sandra: Out fucking the night again! As if you care. G: Of course I care! It's 4 in the fucking morning, I didn't know.. S: Well I'm here now, aren't I? G: Stacy, why can't you just grow old gracefully? It's not Roxy Music in '72 anymore. S: You're as old as you feel, you can cut me open and count the rings if you want. You know George, you're just bitter, like a lemon. G: I'd rather be a lemon than a dried up old passion fruit like you. S: George, you're the only one who's old. I still want to eat life. G: Yeah well I want to eat a chicken sandwich, but we're out of chicken. Sometimes you just have to accept spam. S: What, as a substitute for life? G: No, as a substitute for chicken. S: Your candle's all burned out, George. G: You think? Well, maybe I just need a new wick. S: Is that a threat? G: So what if it is. As if you give a shit. S: Yeah George, go on. Go and fuck that bitch next door. You're nothing without me George, and you know it! G: And you're nothing without me, so I suppose we're stuck with each other. You know your problem, Stacy? You think you're immortal. I mean, who wants to live forever anyway? S: I do, George. I do. The drama won a well deserved Bafta award for best swearing, though should have won more given it's raw power and energy, as Crum and Gunn almost leap through the screen to get their points across. Both actors are nothing short of brilliant, as is the entire production. 10. Glasgow Rangers' inevitable march towards another Scottish Premier League triumph. Just to show I'm not a complete arty poof. So there you have it. How many have you seen/listened to/read? Chalk it up. A new Chris Morris series tonight! I'm almost quite literally shaking. Until next time. Alasdair xx "You want to do mankind a real service?

Sinister: Young Gods indeed
by Nick.Dastoor＠guardian.co.uk 23 Mar '00

23 Mar '00

Hello tricksters. Sorry, I'm everywhere at the mo. To anyone who was doubting that the terrific JENOWL was a real person and not the warped vision of a 20-something prankster, there's now a photo of her in the Gallery. Doesn't prove anything, I suppose. So JIHADS! is an instrumental. That figures. Reid, I've got worries along the same lines as you, but I know I'll have to live with it for a few months before I can even consider jumping ship. I just wish they'd somehow managed to not take so bloody long over it. Right, the rest of this post is my last word on the inkies, so the sensible ones can stop read now. > By the time I was taking an interest, the post-Morley >NME seemed to have slipped into stultifying greyness (the Lamacq >years), while MM extolled everything vibrant and left-field*. Well Lamacq was only the live editor, wasn't he? Poor boy - he's harmless enough. Grey as the err... wind, though, you're right. Maybe I caught the end of MM's golden era. I just remember them getting all excited about Cranes and the Telescopes while the NME was getting on with the business in hand. Err.. Baggy. I expect Mike's right that Reynolds et al. cared more about what they were writing. I just had the impression they were barking up the wrong tree most of the time. I did enjoy the flights of fancy sometimes, but you must remember that in those days I was still impressed by Steven Wells' belligerence. And Collins and Maconie were funny in print. The NME covered hip hop and dance music a lot better too. Number Ones in End of year writers' polls: 1987 NME: Public Enemy - 'Yo! Bum rush the show' Melody Maker: The Young Gods - 'The Young Gods' 1988 NME: Public Enemy - 'It takes a nation of millions..' Melody Maker: The Pixies - 'Surfer Rosa' 1989 NME: De La Soul - 'Three feet high and rising' Melody Maker: The Cure - 'Disintegration' I think hip-hop *was* the most important/exciting genre of those times and frankly the MM's choices (maybe 1988 is debatable) just look bizarre. When did Steve Sutherland take over at MM? I definitely hated it then. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: just a bit of bitching and whining
by ipecac spice 23 Mar '00

23 Mar '00

hello sinister people. i felt the need to vent to you all as you are all such good listeners. first: my thesis is killing me and i can't get my supervisor to meet with me to do the data analysis. i can't do anything until the data analysis is done and i can't do that without my supervisor! and the freaking thing is due monday! aaahhh!!!! i was bitching about it on the bus today with my friend catherine and this woman overhears the whole thing and then tells me that she's an administrator at my university and she knows people who could lean on my supervisor and all these weird cryptic comments. i must learn to remember that anyone could be listening to my conversations. the main bitch though (and i probably mentionned this before, but it's worth bitching about more): men who feel the need to tell me to smile! what's up with that!? i don't know why stupid old men feel the need to tell me to smile as i walk by. if i'm not happy why should i walk around everywhere grinning?! i think it's incredibly rude and don't understand why they have the desire to do it. and of course it always takes me by such surprise that i never have a witty come back. what can i say that is witty in response to being told to smile? any ideas? to the girl who is freaking out about turning 20. i did too, but then you turn 21. and for some reason 21 has been the best age ever. in a few weeks i turn 22 and i'm not looking fwd to that much. it seems like such a useless age. bonuses to 20 are that 21 is soon to come and you are no longer a teen. so it's not all bad. i'm wearing my b&s bus tee today. i got one comment about how i never wear t-shirts and another about how sebastian is such a good name. oh well. sorry this message is so lacking. i'm a bit distracted. happy weekend everyone! -di he who hates is to be pitied, but he who loves is to be pitied more -german proverb +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
