Sinister: 10 Roddington Place
by Peter Miller 04 Mar '00

04 Mar '00

I'd be more impressed if someone had released a record called "Trousercuts". How Sinister Saved My Life: Yesterday I went to see a film called Buffalo Sixty-Six. Buffalo Shitty-Shit, more like. I was just drifting into a probably fatal coma when the word "bath" started cropping up over and over again for no reason whatsoever. It reminded me of a post many hundreds of years ago from our number one film bugger, Robert McRagTag. So I perked up a bit and waited for the bath scene. It was a disappointing bath scene, but the danger had passed. Thanks, Sinister. 45 minutes ago I put on the excellent 70s WHO 60s BBC sessions, and a car crashed into a bollard just outside the window. Coincidence? I doubt it. Let's get one thing straight. I'm not running any kind of shop at Sinister Portmerion, I'm running the disco. I'm the man who chooses the choons and decides which night is gay night, not Mark. Of course Mark will be able to put on his Tigermilking night, as long as he books at least three at once. Speaking of Mark, I'm a bit worried in case he gets into trouble for abusing work e-mail facilities. I can honestly say that I would never have joined the Bob the Builder Bob Club if it weren't for Mark's subtle promotion of HIT Entertainment, and I'm sure I'm not the only one, so if you need us to rally round, Mark, you know where we are. It'll probably get you the sack twice, but it's the thought that counts. Thai News: Election Special Vote buying is reported to have been rife in the Thai senate elections. Retailers have also reported a run on Wasabi Green Nuts. Does that Isobel shag?

Sinister: Hello (he said tentatively)...
by Sam Walton 04 Mar '00

04 Mar '00

Hello everyone! This is my first ever post on the list, and as a result Im ever so slightly excited about it all. As with a few others who have recently popped their Sinister cherry, I feel I should give a very brief description of myself. Im lanky, obsessive, but quite personable most of the time. I like art galleries, books, film, and generally running around with a silly grin on my face doing things that are cultural. Obviously I like music too. My fave bands are B&S, Ben & Jason (any other B&J fans out there?), the Beta Band, Blur and Pulp. I also really like the new Eels LP. Im currently listening to IYFS, which contains my favourite B&S songs, GMAFH,ID and IYFS. Ive had a voice for about a fortnight now, but I was away for half term, and then I never had the time during last week to write anything of any consequence. Thats not to say that this is groundbreaking stuff or anything, I just thought Id better write soon or Id never get around to it ever. A couple of people were enquiring about Fonda 500. Well a review of their new LP (entitled 8 Track Sound System) was in the NME about four weeks ago, and I would put a link up to the review in the nme.com archive, but the review doesnt appear to be there. However, the review was by Sarah Dempster, the same person who gave the B&S EPs a hard time this week, so she may not Ms Popular round these parts at the moment. Im quite happy to send anyone a copy of the review, but to save wasting peoples time, its probably better if you just email me personally (samwaltonyeah(a)hotmail.com) and ask me. Erm, I want to say something really interesting and thought provoking, but I cant right now. Nevermind, I guess Ill get into the swing soon. Love and chocolate-covered confectionary, Sam x. P.S. Is there a radio station in the village? If there is can I have a slot? If not can I start one? ______________________________________________________ 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: oh! i reconisder...
by Steven Kado 04 Mar '00

04 Mar '00

no, i changed my mind from yesterday's post! i do have a place in siniville after all. i could be the wealthy capitalist land owner who lives in a big manor house and is hated by the locals. every odd weekend i'd fly in on my personal lear jet piloted by my elite robot staff of butlers and manservants (named karl, florian, ralf and wolfgang)! the rest of the time i'd jet set about being a nuisance and exploiting the working class. sometimes during my visits i'd even descend to the 'pub' to have a 'pint' with the 'locals'. However, most of the time i'd be busy being eccentric and pervy up in my mansion, monitoring the village in a lewd way with hidden cameras. also, i had a don mckellar sighting today. i crossed spadina at dundas with him, then i passed him and gave him a hard stare, as if to say "YOU ARE DON MCKELLAR". He walked behind me nearly all the way back to my house. *just i was turning into my alley to go up to my place i felt a tap on my shoulder and it was he and he said: 'hey, i think you smell great, why not be in my next movie' and i said 'FUCK OFF DON MCKELLAR, I LOVED YOU IN ARROWHEAD, YOU JERK! THAT HANDLEBAR MOUSTACHE MAKES YOU LOOK SILLY' and he left crying and i went up to eat my fallafel, regretting not having taken my tourettes syndrome medication. *this is a lie. steven k ______________________________________________________ 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: I don't get it. Why soil?
by JENOWL22＠aol.com 03 Mar '00

Hewwo sinister-kids, I got ink polaroids and little ink movies on order from the bookshop in town yesteray. And I saved them to read in bed, and laughed and laughed so much. Then I felt a bit sad because Stuart D's left now. Then I read them again and went to sleep at half nine with the light still on. All the cool kids are going bowling. And they invited all my friends except one just to leave me out. But then a boy two years above us that my friend knows did a very nice thing, and came up to us and invited me and the other uninvited girl to his party in front of them all, so that we'd look really cool. He wasn't actually having a party, though, he just said he was in front of them. In fact, I spent this evening watching telly with my mum, and then we danced around the sitting room to Judy and the Dream of Horses, and then flopped down on the sofa and talked about debating and serial killers. Velocity wrote: << who's gonna be the ButcHeR? this is really a crappy job... do we have any blood staining lovers in here? I hope so... I wonder... what a twee butcher would look like? >> I think all the hamburgers and things should be ready delivered by ronald mcdonald (the groovy clown guy), and there would never be any need for butchers because all our stuff would come pre-packaged and not at all dead animal like. It was raining cats and owls yesterday, which was generally a grate thing, because being out in the rain is FUN! Also, when it's raining, I don't have to push my way through a crowd of smokers outside the music block to get to lessons. And this generally means not getting shouted at, spat on, tripped up, threatened with gang rape etc. Now I finally know what S&M is, thanks to my english teacher. I'm a bit sorry I asked, I didn't know it was so naughty. Now I'm not quite so sure I'm as fond of ...Sinister (the song). Also, Samantha, you owe me a letter :) I look forward to getting real live post! Was anyone from sinister at an all day schools debate on wednesday, because I saw a couple of people who looked a bit sinisterish. I was only there for support, blame-shouldering, carrying the blazers, and fetching the hot chocolate and sympathy when the team lost spectacularly. Still, I got the day off school... It's nearly half eleven, so I suppose I should be going to bed...

Sinister: electro-shock blues
by Robert Brennan 03 Mar '00

Hello Sinister Boys & Sinister Girls Velocity Wrote: "Di (ipecap spice) + Rob Brennan + Colin Mowat all these caring, loving souls have different views on how a mental hospital should function..." And I see no reason why these views can't be reconciled. A modern system of psychiatric care should be able to provide a choice of conventional, alternative and complementary therapies. And just because someone would prefer 240 volts through the head instead to a nice cup of tea is no reason to label them insane. In the meantime, the Sinister Village Home For Treatment Of The State You're In (somebody think of a better name quick) now has its own soundtrack of beautiful soothing choons thanks to the sterling efforts of new member of staff DJ Nurse Jules (many many thanks for the tape - Jaffa Cakes (almost) in the post). Check in for the awesome track listing. Other bits of the Village: Since Honey has politely declined the mayor job, shouldn't we have a proper democratic election? Preferably with leftie mavericks and corrupt authors involved. This is your chance to stop being so nice and start slinging some mud around. As for location. If I could I would gladly bulldoze the whole of Portsmouth to make way for community. We couldn't possibly make the place any worse. Robster xxx "Goddammit, Doctor!

Sinister: hello friends and strangers
by Joshua Baze 03 Mar '00

03 Mar '00

hi all- interesting things happening this week. i'm in my first ever car crash (just fine, thanks; sore neck/shoulders/back). and after an extended leave of absence I've returned to this list. not that a great many of you would remember me in the first place. but it is nice to peek into this little world again. for those of you i've missed, it would be good to hear from you again. for those of you i don't know, it will be good to hear from you for the first time. especially if you live near kansas, which is where i live. records i'm listening to these days: *grant lee phillips- ladies' love oracle*: one of the most beautiful records I've heard in a long time. almost lennon-esque, but better. *the the- nakedself*: another perfect 10 from matt johnson *the lucksmiths- staring at the sky*: thanks jamie and jj! *jeff buckley- live at the bataclan e.p.*: if you're ever in a record store and see his on sale for a million dollars, buy it. *the handsome family- in the air*: their newest one. *belle and sebastian- the bowlie weekender*" the best b&s boot I've ever heard. I found it last weekend. "new song" is promising... one last thing: i'm really embarrassed about my email address. the company i work for has the worst name ever, even if it is perfectly descriptive. i have a friend who works for "multi-service." i think they are both subsidiaries of GloboChem (an inside joke for any other fans of HBO's Mr. Show...) back to "work." be good.
