Sinister: Simon Armitage in BFE Iowa City.
by Cody Petterson 20 Mar '00

20 Mar '00

first off, you sinisterines are warm and helpful. second, thanks stevie, sorry mike the b&s bowlie, and cress i mean "the" simon armitage (rockstar or no, he's damn funny and a swell guy). third, what's a badge? I mean, we have "patches" which are embroidered fabric pieces which are sewn to jackets and such, or "buttons" which are round, pinned bobbles which have an appropriate image on their face, and we have "badges" which are pinned stars which cops wear to let you know that if you don't cooperate they have a large firearm which they can shoot you with. Which do you mean? fourth, one of the best things about english language music in foreign dialects is that they words are often so "oddly" pronounced, the listener gets to insert their own, personally applicable, word. for instance, i always thought slow graffitti said, "there's a poetry in the back room," meaning there is a poetry to even the most prosaic of settings or moments, and then "help me please interpret history in every line in scot," thus evoking the way in which language is a constantly developing historical record. take a listen and see what i mean. maybe we could all talk about things we "thought" b&s said (have "we" all already done that?). anyhoo, may you all be favorites among fortune's many playthings, thanks, and more questions about british vernacular to come. dearly, cody ps nobody reads simon in america. for that matter, nobody reads frost or whitman or dickinson. nobody reads poetry period. i'm not bitter, i'm just clarifying. pss BFE is an acronym for "But% F$*k Egypt" and means the dust-ridden, forsaken, up-sh^t-creek-without-a-paddle, middle of nowhere. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: i just noticed all of my pants have little worn marks on the pockets from my chap stick
by jason luther 20 Mar '00

20 Mar '00

isnt the word 'indiepop' an oxymoron? just a thought. messy hair would defiantly have to be included in the list, along with stories of adolescent hardships, and cellos in the music. im sure i could think of many others, but i dont want to hog. i was intending on writing yesterday, it was sunday, so i was in a terrible mood, but i was occupying my time making a mix tape for my friend who is going to europe, she needed music to keep her head on the plane. although she detests belle and sebastain, i still made a killer tape. since today is monday, and i had a time fighting with my cunt of a boss just a little while ago, i am feeling better. i love arguing, im GRATE at it. but yesterday and this morning i felt like shit. i think i may be falling in love with the girl im dating, but there is still a part of me that doesnt want to, so im in a bit of a turmoil. sighhh. she isnt the girl i love now and will always love, but she is still a very wonderful person. she challenges me, and makes fun of me. i love that. people are afraid to challenge me and poke fun, even in good nature. i think its because i am attractive and smart (im quite conceded too), but its like people look at me differently, and are afraid i wont like them if they dont treat me like a higher person. perhaps im wrong, and im totally obsessing over this, but im afraid im right. being who i am is a major pain sometimes. last night my friends keep bringing up the topic of what i want to do for the rest of my life. and thats like the thing that gets to me the most. im 21, and going for a business degree, hate business, and have no idea what i want to do. i know many others are in the same boat, but it just really gets to me. so the whole time during dinner (after seeing'american beauty' no less) i had to explain what i think about doing and what i dont want to do. at this point i just want to be like 'kane in kung fu, you know, walk to earth' (yes i stole that, but from where....?) well..... my piss mood has returned, time to go pick a fight have a fulfilling day, jason the confused +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: There are some days that catch the light...
by Mike 20 Mar '00

20 Mar '00

Hello, I have had a lovely day. In the morning I had what you could call (if you were little Jen) a grate adventure. It started when I got to school and went for the bus (my sixth form is spread out between three schools and we have to travel around town in buses. Which is nice). There were lots of policemen walking around inspecting our buses, each one had vehicle inspectorate written on his back. We watched these policemen with interest for a while. Eventually (and with us already ten minutes late for our first lessons) they let us go, despite the fact that the engine had a bit of trouble starting and the emergency doors wouldn't open. When we got to school the rest of my English class was just standing around. Apparently our class had been cancelled for today. I couldn't be bothered to go home, so I had two hours to kill. Me and a girl from my English class went into town. First we went to Woolworth's and played with the toys. We kept playing with the ones that make funny noises and nearly got thrown out. Then we went to a bookstore where I got the copy of Nalda Said I'd ordered. Then we went to a pet shop and looked at the rabbits and the gerbils for a while, and then we went back to school for our school photo. This was all lovely. Although Computing in the afternoon was pants. And tomorrow will be grate as well, because I only have two lessons and one of them is General Studies, so I won't go. (For those not in the know, General Studies is a non-subject. They might as well teach you to serve fries for all the good it will do you. I can't even tell you what it's about, because we don't get taught anything). And yesterday we went for a picnic and watched the sky cloud over during the course of two hours. It is the first time in living memory I have driven anywhere and not narrowly avoided a fatal accident. And I'd just like to say to anyone who has been known to write e-mails to me that when I said: >This is probably just an ignorance of netiquette (dread net geek word), >but how does one know when to stop sending people e-mails? I mean when >someone writes to me, it's only polite to write back. Then they get the >reply and it's only polite to reply to the reply, and so on. I suppose if >someone gets tired of hearing from me they could always tell me to f*** off. >But that wouldn't be very twee now would it? I didn't actually want you to stop writing to me. My daily download is the highlight of my day (how sad). I just worry that I myself might annoy people sometimes with my long boring and bery frequent messages. Like this one, in fact.

Sinister: gazing alone though sex-painted windows
by GRAEME JOHN ANDERSON 20 Mar '00

20 Mar '00

Dear All I've not written for a while, basically because I've had nothing to say and well, that hasn't really changed, but I felt like I needed to write to let you sinister people know about my (sad) little life. First of all, it's good news to hear about the album finally coming out (old news, I know). Unfortunately, being stuck down in this part of the world I won't be able to get my hands on a copy until next July when I venture to British soils once again, unless one of you kind souls could let me know the distributer in Colombia and/or Mexico (I won't ask for a 'tape tree' copy as that is strictly illegal). Still, I've got the comfort of the other 3 albums to keep me entertained for the time being - put on Tigermilk for the first time in ages and it still sounds so fresh after all those years. So in when the album does come out I'll need to rely on your comments to get the idea of the album. The delgados also have a new album coming out this summer - yeah! Something else I'll miss but the guys at Chemikal Underground may send me a copy - which may arrive if the postman doesn't steal it. Got a surprise this morning while I was sitting reading your mail. There is a guy on the roof of my apartment building in camoflague gear, a telescope and a radio looking rather mean. There has also been a Navy gunship stuck out in the water for the last few days and a helicopter buzzing around most of the weekend. At least I feel safe. Buses. I love them. Especially here where there are no bus stops - you just wave to stop them and shout to get off. The are often brightly coloured and have music constantly playing...and they are cheap. Can't be too bad. Well, I've had my say and will now go back to hiding out for the next 6 months or so when I've got nothing to say once again. Oh, well done to Sam for saying what I feel about music "this is what music's all about: It's about making people feel something they wouldn't feel otherwise. " I listen to what I like without worrying about fashion or what friends think. Wouldn't it be great (sp?) if all of us could be like that, but wishful thinking perhaps. Hasta luego Graeme - still thinking who deserves my list crush vote - +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Looper in Iowa City.
by Cody Petterson 20 Mar '00

20 Mar '00

dear isle friends, saw looper last week in iowa city. a bit much sampling and electronics for a live show, but stuart was really quite something. talked to the boys (and chica) after the show as the lips played (with all the pomp and vanity of caligula at the maximus) and they were genuinely in awe of the flaming lips. i thought looper really played a better show, but you all must be familiar with that queer british sincerity and earnestness which makes them speak of and believe in their peers rather more lauditorily than we yanks. sorry to say but i went home and threw on the bowlie weekender and thought it much better fun. anyhow, just got back from california and must read up on the messages. brought back san diego sand for simon armitage with whom i'm studying for a poetry mfa from the writers' workshop. i've heard poetry's popular over there. funny. emailed erica mac about the state of things there. no reply but i'm carefully holding down my disappointment. looking to studying anglo-saxon on your island this summer. any suggestions? need an american friend? dearly, cody +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: looper in la
by Benjamin Dexter 20 Mar '00

20 Mar '00

I have heard that Looper will be playing at the El Ray theatre in Los Angeles on the thirtieth. Does anybody have more information on this? I'm in Alaska, but will be in LA at the end of the month. Are tickets needed in advance and if so, how may they be aquired. Any information would be nice.

Sinister: Trash Can Sinatras and New Order (Non B&S)
by Sam Devere 19 Mar '00

19 Mar '00

Hey all...I haven't read any posts since the last DC picnic last summer, so please excuse my ignorance if this has been discussed. Anyway, I know there are quite a few Trash Can Sinatras fans on this list who would be interested in this. Trash Cans are playing dates in NYC, NJ and Philly over the next couple of weeks. The web site is www.trashcansinatras.com. Also, New Order has a new song on the Beach soundtrack. It's pretty cool, it sounds a little like a more guitarry Regret or Brotherhood era stuff. The song is all over Napster if you wanna hear a sample. BTW, not sure if Napster has been discussed on here and copyright infringements notwithstanding (and to paraphrase a valley girl) it totally rox. NP: Jeff buckley's "Last Goodbye" Sammy ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: visionary
by feather boa 19 Mar '00

my friend and i bought a super 8 camera in camden market yesterday. it seems to work, but the man gave us a film to use and i looked at it today and it said "develop before dec 1979" - which was a bit scarey because that means that the film is older than me. we filmed the gathering we had last nite, so i hope we can get it developed, it was fun. then we're going to make a magnum opus, or maybe not. pip pip, FB X *********************************** chickclick.com http://www.chickclick.com girl sites that don't fake it. http://www.chickmail.com sign up for your free email. http://www.chickshops.com boutique shopping from chickclick.com *********************************** +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
