Sinister: "don't let the paaastels get you down"
by Antti Koskiranta 09 Mar '00

09 Mar '00

that's what i heard when listening to the lucksmiths' untidy towns for the first time. it's actually "barstools", not pastels. silly me. hello all ye sinister people! i haven't posted since november. the reason? well, since december, i've been at least one week behind you lot, but now we are back on the same time zone. (at last.) things have become GRATE, even BLUDDY GRATE, since i last used my voice. what can i say to that, except "Grate!" the village thing is fab, as is the new website. would luverly laura llew need some help running her bookstore? i could imagine that the people of sinister are buying piles of books. i actually work in a bookstore, have been working since november, the biggest in town. (tho it doesn't mean best, we have loads of worthless shite, as well as the interesting ones. it's sad to see people buying so many useless self-help books and bad novels) so, working full-time means a well deserved break from uni. (i could also run the photo shop (sorry, is this the right word?), ie be the village photographer. or is there one already, i dont remember. i probably 'ave more experience in photographing than in selling books. in fact, i'm trying to get into the local "artsy-fartsy" school to study photography.) before bidding farewell, i must thank You for introducing new (to me, at least) and grate music to me. thanks to sinister i've had the courage to buy records by felt, field mice, go-betweens, salako, hefner, marine research, lucksmiths et al. and right now i'm listening to kate rusby: she does not rock, she folks. ;) just one example: i bought field mice's where 'd you.. without ever having heard them before. i now know i can trust Your taste. and yes, jaffa cakes rule the school. ;) (no comment on the new album, or its title) love and snowflakes, a (the other finn, waiting impatiently for the april select to reach his workplace. we still sell the ian brown one) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: And when we're gone, we're dressed in neon
by Mr Smiley 09 Mar '00

09 Mar '00

Hullo, My thought for today is: If the list archives are continually growing as more and more posts are added to them, and as the search gets more and more frighteningly intelligent, surely it will one day be the source of all knowledge? It'll probably grow too much though, and decide to build a large robot army to exterminate it's creators before claiming a lofty position as ruler of the world. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ It wasn't a very good thought, granted. What with all the excitement and debate about the pros and cons of having the EP box set on the list previously, I really was salivating in anticipation of it's arrival. It has, however, dawned on me that I'm unlikely to get it in Worksop (twinned with Royston Vasey), and probably not in Sheffield either. So I'll have to leapt into the icy world of online buying, and wait two f***ing weeks for it to arrive. Tits. I'm getting increasingly annoyed that my shift key appears to have broken, and grammar is important. I've decided to mark today "Honey's Humourless Computer Day", because the dear thing doesn't get nearly as much love and praise as it deserves. And finally, I know the 'v' word is taboo, but I'd just like to say that the Sinister Village site is ace, and it will get SO much better, I can tell (I'm a bit psychic on Thursdays) God be with you Mr Smiley +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Pulling a reverse Honey
by bkim0＠dept.english.upenn.edu 09 Mar '00

09 Mar '00

(and yes, it is as dirty as it sounds) Add to the growing list yet *another* American making his way to London in less than a week. If anyone can recommend some fun times please e-mail me privately and let me know...esp. in the way of soul clubs, karaoke with a fine selection of oldies tunes, inexpensive shows, et cetera. No Beefeaters or Jack The Ripper/Sid Vicious tours please! Re: Funky Dewlap (that's Welsh btw, or pidgin Welsh). Is it just me or do their album titles get longer and longer with each release? Reminds me of something Elvis Costello said of Morrissey: "He comes up with the best song titles in the world, but somewhere along the way he forgets to write the song" (or something like that). Of course B&S have probably written the songs for the album, it's just that we haven't heard them so it seems that they don't really really exist. I'm not sure this album title is the best in the world either but it's new, it's foreign and it's freaky. Given time who knows. I may just refer to it as "that 'Peasant' album," or _Don't Gimme No Lip Child, You Walk Like A Woman But Talk Like A Man Oh My Lola_. If you all must know, my image is now added to the "As We Are Now" gallery at the very end (so far "Xavier" seems to be the name bringing up the rear of the alphabet), if this is any factor in your information dissemination, artificial or otherwise. I think I have a face that can be trusted. Like that kid in _Mask_.

Sinister: Books I Forget
by Sarah Clarke 09 Mar '00

09 Mar '00

I'm going to be in New York City tomorrow! Hopefully eating eggplant. Aren't those Murikans just mad? Aubergines are not plants which are shaped like eggs. However, they are Gines which are Auber. Stupid stupid Yanks. Who drive on a parkway and park on a driveway. It makes no sense!! But still, I can't wait to be there. Honey and Linda are following me there you know. I'm a bit freaked out, are they stalking me? Well who wouldn't, I am BLUDDY GRATE. Up yours, Babychris! Start your own NEW and GRATE saying, if that pisses you off so much. Go on. I dare you. I bet it won't be GRATE though. I bet it will be PANTS. Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like a Peasant! I know why you'd fold your hands. Its cos if you didn't, you have them swinging by your sides, like one of those working class lumpen proletariat plebs, innit? So if you fold them, you look demure and restrained while you walk. Do you lot know nothing about poise? It sounds like something my stepmother would say. But instead of "peasant", she would say "raving lesbo ho'". She wouldn't, really, its ok. No "Marx & Engels"????? Belle! Sebastian! You promised (or hinted) at the REVOLUTION and yet again one more time you have let me down! Even though I'm ever so happy that "Wrong Girl" is on. Is it written about Camille Pagilla? Or Vanessa Feltz? Anyway, I supose Marx & Engels are ever so passé. Like, who hasn't read the Communist Mannifesto, it adorns coffee tables all over Clerkenwell these days. Even Shoreditch twats can quote Marx. I'd be more impressed if they'd memorised "The Social Contract" by my favourite new Frenchie, Jean Jaques Rousseau. He's dead cool, you know. He's a geezer! He wrote a wonderful soundbite slagging of philosophers and psueds of the Englightenment, but buggered be me if I know what it went like now. In New York, I will see Magnetic Fields. And my dearest husband Dr Damon, and my beautiful oldest son Matthew, and the helpful Malay, and lots of other people do. I'd do a big shout out, but unfortunately I am not Pete Tong, and thus I know my place. It is not in the realm of "big shout outs to the Hull Possé". Whats the US equivalent of Grimsby? Incidentally, I want to go to Coney Island. Isn't that the place with the...fairgrounds'n'stuff?

Sinister: sword of omen, give me sight beyond sight
by blair hicks 09 Mar '00

09 Mar '00

oh list, riding a wave of uncharacteristic optimism, i've decided to post, so read on and revel in my good karma. it'll be good for you lot, especially those of you in damp, rainy climates, who are no doubt often somber and morose. i slept through classes this morning - not only my 8am lab, but a 10 o'clock western civ lecture, for which i will likely be reemed a new one by the almighty. isn't it nice to see a new wave of b&s content? on that note, i'd just like to say that the UK release date for the new record is my parent's wedding anniversary, which is also my paternal grandmother's birthday. all you astrologists keep your eyes on the heavens - no good will come of this. james taylor was inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame this week, which is lovely, and you don't think so, go soak your head. he's king. oh - as a b&s related afterthought, i've seen the new EP set priced differently all over. my favorite record store here in austin, the world-renowned 33 degrees records, has it priced at $15.99. have any of you state-side listees seen it priced lower at one of the big chains, like tower, best buy, or borders? i so very much want capitalism to work its merry speel on me, but i need an inside opinion first. speaking of my fellow americans, are any of you catching the SXSW festival this year? i'm defenitely seeing beulah, japancakes (the entire kindercore show, for that matter), macca, and the apples in stereo. elliot and sebadoh will be crouded and un-fun, but the other shows should be GRATE. is anybody heading down austin way? let me know - free meals seem to abound in my company. well, it's been lovely, but i have to run. stay healthy, sinister. i'm sure some sort of satanic allergy season will be striking your corner of the globe sometime soon. prrof once more of a cruel, unforgiving god. fondly, blair p.s. - to vel, for complementing my sinister comic book store - you are going straight to heaven. you and james taylor. _______________________________________________________ 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.

by Jason Andreas 08 Mar '00

08 Mar '00

Okay people, here's the final details for the new Glasgow Meetup.... Saturday, May 6th, 11:30 am, underneath the largest column in George Square. Everyone who comes is to bring a packed lunch of some kind for themselves and whoever comes with them. I want as many people to turn up as possible. Please be punctual - it's only polite. If it's raining, the meetup place and time are the same, but we shall figure somewhere else to go. See you there. --Jason Andreas Silent whispers in my head, Never heard but always said.
