Sinister: Defile Manfred Mann
by stephen hewitt 13 Apr '00

13 Apr '00

Hey ho, back at work after a fantastic weekend of being as camp as pontins. A few small personal highlights: Final whistle of the football Seeing Struan running around with just his shorts on (he is completely *buff* not a spare bit of flab on him and quite a bit of muscle) Ally, Kevan, Calumn, Joe and Erica (were we the only "fully sinister" chalet?) Watching Calumn talk to the entire site Aidan Moffatt from Arab Strap playing his keyboard with his head during girls of summer Having Martin Carr come to the party in our chalet Walking along London Bridge Station on the way home and saying hi to Struan walking in the other direction like he'd just kind of materialised on the platform in time to catch us. Missing Sonic Youth :) footy, slight return Shouldn't the johnny come lately glory seeker who only joined for the last ten minutes have been cup tied, having played for Snow Patrol in an earlier round? A tour de force of total shexy football, demonstrated by Jim's goalkeeping, Ally's silky skills, Sean's fully comitted tackling and Vince's falling over, (and a dashed cunning use of rolling substitutes) not to mention near-rabid support from the sidelines. Surely we now go forward to the european festival five a side competition, at pink pop (probably). Also no mention has been made so far of the Stan Collymore of the side, mercurial, great player last season, transferred for a substantial amount, then ASLEEP THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE OF SUNDAY'S MATCHES, yes, step forward Martin Robinson, who arrived at the pitch just in time for the victory celebrations :) Ooh if the pic-er-nic's on the 20th we can go to 2000 troubled teenagers afterwards and scare nervous stephen with our drunken behaviour. I've been called mark e smith a few times but never aidan moffat... xoxo CarsmileSteve Dave, can you tell Sally I've got her vodka, it was behind the sink where she left it +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: you're just a baby, baby.
by Eric D Brasure 13 Apr '00

13 Apr '00

hi all... I don't have anything substantive, so just skip over this if you're looking for that sort of thing. and, if this gets sent to the wrong address again, (honey) I apologize! I'm not doing it on purpose, I swear. I had to work today until 5, but I couldn't go home after that because I had to go meet my lab group at 6:15... which is a story in itself. suffice it to say I wasn't happy about the whole deal. so I went and bought a new pair of headphones to kill some time, but I had even more time to waste, so I decided to go to my local barnes and noble to browse the magazines (the new issue of pcgamer was out, I was excited... and yes, I am a geek. want to make something of it?), and what was playing on the stereo? "you're just a baby"! it cheered me up immensely, and now I know what those of you who have heard b&s in public places and felt like you knew something no one else did, 'cause that's how I felt. it was keen. even though I caught on the lights on my walk home from the subway, but still. "some little bird told me that there is a lonely someone on the list looking for more gay sinister girls. HELLO!!! it's me. i'm one of the few but proud registered Sinister TweeDykes. it's getting lonely out here, too. i would always appreciate conversation." yeah, and where are all the sinister gay boys? I know there must be some out there (heh.) bye. -eric +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: what's your take on Cassavetes?
by Valerie Solanas 12 Apr '00

12 Apr '00

iiidlldldddd hi what is eveyrone up to? i'm sad to say i have been so busy lately i haven't read the list for a while until today. (evne though i should be doing other things) I didn't even know the new singel was out. Oh well. all i want to know, is what's a dick-slap? and i hope it's not too smutty. because i like Judy, and i would be pretty miffed if stuart were to start bad-mouthing her. i haven't seen hi fidelity yet, and don't plan to. i saw a woman on a movie review show (a very sassy woman) refer to it as a "dick-flick" or the male equivalent of a chick flick. and i agree, although i haven't seen it. do i really honestly need to watch an entire movie about some lame hetero dating stories, regardless of the nerdy record geeks? No, a thousand times no, i say! Not even a few seconds of Lili Taylor on the screen could make me change my mind. and that's hard core. wah, wah, wah. my girlfriend dumped me. serves you right you self obsessed dweeb. am i offending anyone? oh well, too bad. you'll just have to put up with my closed =minded ridiculing of things i know very little about. some little bird told me that there is a lonely someone on the list looking for more gay sinister girls. HELLO!!! it's me. i'm one of the few but proud registered Sinister TweeDykes. it's getting lonely out here, too. i would always appreciate conversation. I'm also glad to hear that wee jay isn't terminally ill, or mortally doomed. i think we would all of us miss your wacky way with the common people dialect, and yeah, anyway, stay alive will ya??? Mmmmmm..... Oh er yeah! i might be seeing CAt Power this month. although i'm a little nervous, only because i'm afraid my presence will add to poor chan's spaz attack tendencies. i would feel like such an ass, up there staring....hungrily....waiting, demanding to be entertained, and secretly filled with desire! if she only knew, she would surely cry. so i'm afriad. but i'm very excited about it because i haven't seen any shows since september. and i might see Ida, as well. Oh and also. a couple of ppl were talkign to me about doign the sinister village map. (yes, i'm passe at this point) I would still be willing to do it if i have time. what i dont' have time for is actually goign through all the posts and retrieving the information everyone added. if anyone is up to the task, i'd be glad to put it all together, but frankly, i'm not willing to committ to something i have no time for......it's much kinder in the long run. however, i must reiterate that i would be very pleased to actually execute the drawing plan itself, because i'm that boring. What's YOUR take on Cassavetes? --Alcoholic!! --Messiah!! i'm feeling rather techy today. i'm goign to start a revolution with all the righteous sisters. i bought a marie claire magazine becaue janeane garofalo was on the cover. the article was fab. but on like the next page was an ad showing an elegant woman in traditional African dress, carrying fabrics on her head, and a Swahili quote on one side, and on the other side it said "no corporation has the copyright on beauty" or something retarded like that. and then, "You've come a long way, baby.....VIRGINIA SLIMS menthol" I think i'm going to puke. now i've truly seen it all. That's so fucking sad. and then dont' forget the ads telling you how wonderful breast implants are, and you should go get one right now. i kid you not. poor janeane! in all the middle of that, talking about how fuckin lame the Fashion is! the mind boggles. I'm not really sure who to fault for such insanity. can't blame a girl for wanting to fuck it up, and i think it was a saving grace and a subversion for the mag, but what were they THINKING???? dear god. well, i was supposed to write a paper last night but i started feeling really unwell, woke up with a pounding headache and bad sinuses, so slept until one oclock thus missing todays' Gay festivities. my eyes feel all swollen. i'm going to get something to eat. "Actually....women are not this stupid" "LaCroix, sweetie!"

Sinister: And What Costume Shall A Poor Girl Wear...?
by David Moore 12 Apr '00

12 Apr '00

Howdy Friends, More post ATP Muse-ings: Playing Songs For Children Richard Colburn was featured in Radio 1's Lanarkshire documentary on Monday night, but I don't think he said anything especially memorable. New Looper single Mondo '77 got played on Lamacq last night: a catchy upbeat number, but didn't have time to record it because of frantic tape shuffling so as not to miss any of the ATP live stuff. God Bless John Ravenscroft Peel for playing the Papa M heartstopper for me. Voodoo Chalet Noted on the path in front of the door of a top Disques International Jeepster executive's chalet at Camber: a row of 4 fairy cakes; next a broad line of a white crystalline substance; then a squashed football filled with more of the white stuff with a peeled banana protruding from it. Fucking huge computer indeed :) The Boy Next Door Who's Famous For Showing His Chest (*) I forgot to tell you that when Struan played football earlier on Sunday afternoon he was only wearing his shorts. I just thought that all you Ice Princesses should know... (* Apologies to Trousers for this blatant plagiarism) Sarah was also present. Ooh-Aah-Sinistah!

Sinister: Isn't it great to be alive? Sometimes.
by Alasdair Cook MC1996 12 Apr '00

12 Apr '00

I look like a twat walking around the streets of Glasgow in the freezing, pissing rain with a big tomato sunburnt face. I do not care. Some picture postcard sunsets from the weekend. Saturday, Midday. There's a Murdoch running around, naked except for a few inches of paper thin fabric betwixt waist and thigh. His tufty ginger chest hair blows in the wind. His stomach muscles are surprisingly taught for a man of his years. Far too few girls are present but swooning still takes place. No-one has a camera. Saturday, Early afternoon. Who the hell are Slot Jockey? Hey, they've just tanked the huge security guards 5-1. This could be the start of something... Saturday, half an hour after early afternoon. It's too hot outside, so a boy spends what he fully believes to be his final moments lying on a pub sofa. He drinks coke, which is too expensive. Outside laughter is heard. He wills himself back from the brink, though never fully recovers. Saturday night, 'round midnight. Perhaps later. "Get out of my chalet, I'm going to bed" are the first words uttered by some old moaner. Many believe him to be Aidan Moffat, though he is much less coherent and it isn't his birthday. Beside me on the bed lies an old man with stupid ginger hair who apparently used to be someone. The Doo Badleys or something. He is from Thurso and demands drugs. I quite like him. Sunday morning, 6am. There's a Pinefox on the beach, and he's looking like he owns the place. By 8am he does. A shop assistants song is found alive and well beneath a sand dune, and much rejoicing takes place. A flute plays Daphne and Celeste's greatest hits. The kids are all twee fuckers. Thank Christ. A broken heart string won't stop them now, for the world is singing. This is the most important feeling in the world. This is the good stuff. This is Sunday, far too early. A boy fears death for the second time, but is willing to watch the Slot Jockeys (still no idea) play their second round match against Fat Cat records. No-one knows what Fat Cat records do. Spirits are lifted when a girl is discovered in goal. Despite much persausion, the boy does not start the match. He realises the entire weekend is an attempt to murder him, instigated by a bald Scottish dwarf. He hates bald Scottish dwarves. Something strange then occurs. While watching from the sidelines he gets the crazy idea that perhaps he could play after all. The boy is a fool. He scores because of the simple fact that the other team has a girl in goals. The Slot Jockey's win 5-0, although one of them was a refereeing error. The refere is an idiot. Sunday, not quite so early. Consideration is given to throwing the semi-final and taking the money offered by The Delgados, but wallets give in to egos and the Jockey's throw themselves into the brink. That is after waiting an age for their more famous opponents to finish an interview. The game is tight, with the best football of the tournament on offer. The Slots come through 2-1. Someone calls Stuart Henderson of The Delgados a pathetic loser. Stuart Henderson of the Delgados is the nicest man in the world. Sunday, 10 minutes after the semi-final. The ENEMY (some prefer to call them NME) are fresher, having not played since the quarter finals (a bye to the final). They won that match 8-0, and want 10 in the final. They have a former semi-pro, apparently. Several tired indie-kids stand in their way. Four of them have been here before. They remember. It will not happpen again. The SJs go 1-0, however it's soon 1-1. Half-time. A mad hustler acts under orders to get the Mad Dog to play. He lives up to his rep, biting the NME's ankles and giving them the hardest time of their worthless lives. 2-1 Jockeys. If they can just hold on........2-2. Inspired by Murdoch's encouragement, a captain's example from Jim and the incredible support, Rozzer is put through by the ginger singer-songwriter and tucks the ball straight up the journalist's smug bad loser arses. 3-2. Beers all round, and the glory of the red plastic bucket trophy. It doesn't get better than this. Stuart Murdoch is called "a spooner" by an uncouth, rude drunk. I love uncouth, rude drunks. I wish I'd seen Sonic Youth just so I could have fully appreciated Jim's representation of how bad they were, which involved pulling his shirt over his head and banging it against a wooden post until we asked him to stop. Everyone buy Trousercuts, not for the rubbish writing of course but for the free cd. The Clientele continue to sound like they come from another world, which they must do as nothing in this world can be that good. A cathedral should be build somewhere in south London just to play the songs of Pam Berry on 24-hour continous loop. And at 8am yesterday morning 'Waking Up To Nothing' by The Visitors made me cry more than any other song, ever. In the world. This is due to 3 reasons. 1. I am really soft. 2. It was listened to in the short gap between a 9 hour journey and an 8 hour sleep. 3. The fat, ignorant drunk behind the mic. Sadly, it was mostly the latter. I want it to be next year. I hate waiting. I can't believe Mark organises his picnic plans to suit me. I'm glad he does. Alasdair Neil Cook, of which there is only one, and yes he is shite. Cheers David. xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: *Another* Sunny Day? Alternative ATP
by P F 12 Apr '00

12 Apr '00

Sitting here in my safe European home, I noted that Stuart F had said: Like quite a few of you here I was at the ATP festival over the weekend. All in all, not a patch on last year's Bowlie - none of the friendly atmosphere, plus the vast majority of the bands were, frankly rather crap. Hey, come on, kids, lighten up. It was great stuff. Here are a few highlights picked at random: 1) *Meeting Andy Rourke in the Queen Vic pub*. The hair's changed, the musical style stays the same, as do the 80s jeans. It could only be him. I asked him about being overpowered by funk. He said he'd never been a punk. It was loud in there. 2) *Stereolab on Friday night*. They showed there was a lot more to them than that enigmatic Franglais retro-futura schtick. Grunge, for starters. They're also a band that make you *think* as well as just vibrate. I came away with a new take on House of Lords reform. 3) *Anticipating What The New B&S Album Will Sound Like*. Once we got together (having recognized each other thanks to the badges), we just couldn't stop! We came up with some crazy ideas. I just can't wait to hear 'I Fought In A War'. Rumour is it's heavy. Kind of like Stereolab. 4) *Victory of Team NME in the 5-a-side Tournament*. It was great to see some 'indie' people snatch the prize from all the 'football lads'. Their main rivals, the beery and blokeish Slot Jockey (ugh! horrid name!!), had some fine individual talents, but they made the mistake of appointing John Toshack manager. He just can't handle stars, you see: he's OK at small regional outfits where he can foster ethnic, anti-metropolitan togetherness, but put him in with a few primadonnas and he blows his top. When the lad Cook said he'd only be a sub, Tosh made the fatal error - yet again! - of saying he was playing from the start or taking the first bus back to Rye. Scenes ensued. You'd think Tosh would have learned after the Real experience, but no. Telepathic, yes; good man-manager, no. 5) *Rolling Stones Covers*. For too long, contemporary bands have shyed away from the legacy of the Stones, as though in some kind of Anxiety-of-Influence denial syndrome. But at last that vibe broke cover: and where better than at ATP? There was Sigur Ros' 'Lady Jane'; The Chemistry Experiment's 'You're Just A Baby'; Delgadoes' '19th Nervous Breakdown' (with 'breakdown' bass part played on a couple of violins!); Martin Carr's late-night solo acoustic 'Bitch'; Sonic Youth's 'She's The Boss' (OK, a Mick number really - but close enough for free pedal impro action); and Mogwai's 'You Got Me Rocking' - a real left-field choice to end the whole shebang, with Ian Stewart (!!) on keyboards stage left. So c'mon kids (to quote the Radleys!), realize that we have a top music scene vibe and we'd better 'use it or lose it'. !!
