Sinister: The Digital Revolution
by Ian McKinney 31 Mar '00

31 Mar '00

Hello Folks, Ah, the digital age. A couple of weeks ago my dad got sky digital for all the sport channels. Being a techno-sceptic at heart, I had my doubts. But then I found a really grate channel, M2, dedicated to all things indie and groovie. What's more, you can go to their website and program an hour of videos! Yes, your own hour long music program! So, go to www.m2europe.com regularly until my program is scheduled. It WILL be. Oh yes. An hour of B&S, Joy Division, Pixies etc etc. Afore ye go, I must comment on the show I saw last night. Sigur Ros were undoubtedly the most moving band I have ever seen. Never before has a band literally brought tears to my eyes. Then godspeed ybe played. A HUGE band. epic soundscapes and what have you, but I was so drunk by the time they came on, their set is a bit of a blur. I just spent the hour eyes closed, swaying gently. Anyhoo, that's my two cents. Bye, Ian. ______________________________________________________ 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: The Ballad of Sad Cafe
by The Narrow Wizard 31 Mar '00

31 Mar '00

strange things afoot had a tutorial this morning and one of the guys in the class was arguing that all criminals should be kept in prison until they have been rehabilitated by brainwashing methods (he was serious not just talking for the sake of it) and that if they could not be rehabilitated then they should just be killed cos it's expensive to keep them locked up. Obviously I spent most of the tutorial taking the piss out of him and making sure that everyone was laughing at him, which was good cos one particularly cute girl who I'd never talked to before found me particularly amusing and talked to me for a while afterwards. What's the point of this story, well someone was just talking about being able to take to bed anyone who you can make laugh, I am planning to test this theory. went shopping yesterday and found a copy of the flaming lips' soft bulletin for 7 pound. I'm mightily dissapointed with it, best album of 99? no chance. "Did anyone else have their life changed by the flaming lips?" asked stuart at the bowlie, well they must be a lot better live than they are on that record (though I did quite like some of their earlier stuff). Anyway, the other thing I wanted to rant about was the Virgin store in Stirling, no Godspeed You Black Emperor, no Go Kart Mozart, in fact nothing that I wanted to buy except ridiculously pricey stuff. for example a Sparklehorse EP for only 10 pound, or how about 8 track sound system by fonda 500, last week it was 12 pound, this week they decided to sell it for 16, cunts. do I sound a bit uptight, oh dear, probably something to do with the 30,000 words that I have due in in the next month, well I've got a week off now so I'm gonna (hopefully) do the two 6,000 word essays that I have while at home. This will have two effects, 1) I will be away from uni and thus computerless so you luckythings won't have to put up with me for a while. 2) I will have three weeks to write an 18,000 word dissertation when I get back, oh shit. before I go 'd just like to remind you all that the Pastels said (and it's true) that "every smile is the promise of sex on a sunny day" love and smiles 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 #102
by Halliday, Ian 31 Mar '00

31 Mar '00

Scampi has been reading scientific books about it, but I remember well one piece of psychobabble I read a long time ago. It said that if I could make a woman laugh, I could get her into bed. Why didn't anybody tell me this years earlier? When I think of all the opportunities I missed before I was married. Still, twelve years later, I can say it was well worth it. Honey will put his head in his hands and say "so he never did change" and that's true, from a certain point of view.

Sinister: me and my stupid epileptic fits
by Pulpbot＠aol.com 31 Mar '00

31 Mar '00

Sperm donors, Someone mentioned the outstanding Jim O'Rourke ep ... I bought it just for the title, which does seem to be a mathematical impossibility since there's no halfway to three people except 1.5 so, what does he have, himself and a women's torso? Math majors, help me out here. I'm not I could get into a three-way with body parts missing, unless of course I still had the arms of sex. Yep, that's all I had to say in my annual post.

Sinister: I've got them stoopid spring break bluuuuues....
by Askins, Joseph D. (UMC-Student) 31 Mar '00

31 Mar '00

It's Thursday night, and to paraphrase Douglas Adams, I've reached the long, dark tea-time of my spring break. I can't gripe too much, because there's really no reason why schools should let us run mindlessly free for a whole week, but coming back to Arkansas for even a few days is enough to send me packing to the lecture hall. So what do I do? I mope around, bugging my parents and moaning about how dull and redneck Rogers is, what with its Confederate flags and racist rhetoric. I wish I were back in my cultured, civilized world where people know what I mean when I talk about...about...I dunno. See, I gripe for nothing, because I can't really think of anything in particular that's so much different. My one escape has been sitting around at Iron Horse, the lone coffee shop here in town. Lord, the hours and money I spent at that place the first year it was open. It wasn't wonderful--flashy colorful banners and truly hideous still-lifes from local artists hanging on every wall, watered-down coffee in the pots, and an early closing time (at least they're open till 10:00 now). But despite it all, Iron Horse had its patrons, the disaffected and gloomy youths of Rogers, Arkansas, who congregated inside, talking comics and reading spoilers for the upcoming Star Wars movie on the computer in the corner, asking the owner to put on one of his Smiths CDs, etc. Iron Horse looks pretty vacant these days, though. I don't know the girls behind the bar, and the few kids from the old gang who still bother to show up are off working nine-to-fives at Dairy Queen and mumbling half-heartedly of the day when they might decided to enroll (part-time, of course) at the community college in town. Seeing these sad cases only makes me long even more for Columbia, where I can hold out for three more years under my security blanket of loans and scholarships and parents' money until I join them in the ever-expanding world of minimum-wage fast-food service. Still, things aren't all bad. I'm convinced that the IRS gets a bad rap, because I had a beautiful brown check for a whopping $400 waiting for me when I got home. God bless tax returns (and my parents, who still claim me as a dependent). Seeing as how I'm not having to make any major payments these days--a couple outstanding parking tickets, perhaps, but nothing too life-threatening--I've been able to spend the week blowing dough at music stores. Got a couple obligatory Bowie CDs to fill out my collection, along with some Roxy Music, Eno, Rachel's, One Last Wish, Philip Glass, Tortoise (found both their self-titled AND "Millions Living.." in a used bin today!) Philip Glass, and a used boot of B&S's BBC performances, which is probably the closest I'll ever get to seeing B&S live, seeing as how I don't really see them coming through Columbia, Lawrence, KC or St. Louis on their next tour. The girl who sold me the boot said that she had heard OF the band, but hadn't actually HEARD them. I recommended their albums and went on my way. Maybe she'll give it a shot. Either way, I suppose it was my good turn for the day. Other than all that, break has been all about movies and books. Finally saw "The Sixth Sense" right before the Oscars and was pleasantly impressed--much more than some pop thriller crap. Hope that kid goes far. Had the so-called "shocking" ending predicted months ago (same with the big hullaballoo with "Fight Club"--can't people figure this stuff out from the plot summary alone???), but thankfully it wasn't some gimmick flick riding on its last minute. Rented "Eyes Wide Shut," another one I looked forward to all spring/summer and never saw. Brilliant stuff, yet I can see why some people were turned off. Give it a few years--people will remember it. What else...oh yeah..."The Manchurian Candidate." Holy Cow! I mean, I knew Sinatra was supposed to be a decent actor, but what a film! And to think that it was almost forgotten for over two decades. Giving Saul Bellow's "To Jerusalem and Back" another shot. I tried reading it once before and it just seemed...naively preachy...if you get my meaning. Still, Bellow is a master of words, and it's a great read. His fiction is better, but "Jerusalem" is miles beyond a lot of the stuff that's out there. Sunday comes quickly, and with it, the last four weeks of school. Sigh. Don't even get me started on that...

Sinister: Beagle Flan
by Alder, Lucy 30 Mar '00

30 Mar '00

I saw a builder's bumcrack today. He was bending over some paving slabs and he was all pale and pasty and flabby, but to my surprise, my initial reaction was not "get that out of my sight right now!" but "he'll catch a chill in his kidneys if he's not careful". That's what my Nanna said to me when she saw me in my Saturday Night Hussy T-shirt on Sunday. It's a bit short to wear with low-slung cords, you see, and I get a chilly, gappy bit around the middle. Maybe she should have asked why I was wearing a Saturday Night Hussy T-shirt on a Sunday, but I wore it on Saturday night too, just to make it clear that I can be a hussy on a Saturday night, should I so desire. Not that I was though. I'm a good girl, I am. I washed me face an' 'ands before I come. Speaking of which, my sister says Geri Halliwell is the new Rex Harrison because they both talk to musical accompaniment to cover up for the fact that they actually can't sing: "I like sugar on my colour TV" says Geri "By Jove I think we've done it!" said Rex/'Enry 'Iggins Darling Audrey Hepburn didn't sing in My Fair Lady either, but she mimed very nicely and wore some classy frocks. Did she sing Moon River herself? Genevieve wrote: >>I find it very sweet that Struan-Doll wanders the toilets of Glasgows for artistic inspiration. I wonder if he goes into the Ladies as well as the Gents in search of words of wisdom he can use. I'm sure he could sneak in with the help of a wig and a smear of lipstick. Then, he could write a very interesting essay comparing the two. For some reason, I always imagine that the walls of the boys' bogs are covered in rather primitive drawings of cocks with spiky hair on the balls, although I can't be certain that this is the case because the boys' smells so nasty I wouldn't go in unless it was a dare or a desperate situation. On a wall down Green Lanes in Harringay, somebody has wirtten Gay Dad Everywhere. Now there's a frightening prospect. Right, that's your lot for now. I'm off to Milan on Monday, daaaahlings, to get my annual fix of shopping, footie, proper ice cream and dark, handsome strangers. Hope everyone going to ATP has a gorgeous time.
