Sinister: Night falls like a grand piano.
by Julie Sauer 31 May '00

31 May '00

Life in PA drones on. My job hunt has produced two interviews tomorrow, one of which is for a job which pays $13 an hour. This, pardon my French, is fucking ludicrous in this town. That's more than twice what I made when I worked at the Waldenbooks in the mall and tried to force every customer to buy Dorothy Parker poetry and Invitation To A Beheading (to no avail, they still walked out with the latest Oprah book) . So wish me luck. Speaking of the mall, I went there today to drop off a roll of film in K Mart and was suddenly reminded that northeastern PA has its own dialect, and Hazleton's is even distinct from the rest of the coal region. I heard the word "hayna" used in conversation. "Hayna" is a request for affirmation, and in speech it sounds like "henna". Example: "Cold for this time of year, hayna? Pass the pitza." Pitza is another Hazleton only word...it's completely different from pizza. Pitza is, as far as I know, only made by two bakeries, Senape's and Longo's, and Senape's is the real stuff. It's basically cold, square pizza, sold in boxes with two layers of the greasy stuff. But, damn, it's good. It's properly consumed with Farmer's Ice-Tea. A true Hazletonian meal. Someone pointed out to me a while back that there's actually a Coalspeak dictionary online (www.coalregion.com/speak.htm) and it's pretty accurate, but they've got a few definitions wrong and I have too much of my pride left to correct them. Now, all this talk of PA/Jersey meetups! Well, after the first post I sent bitching about this godforsaken state, several nice listees emailed me with prospective ways to spend my time, one of which was the We Rule The School dj night in Philly on the 7th I think. I forgot who actually told me about it, and I forgot the specifics, and the email magically disappeared from my inbox all on its own. But anyway, if there are enough of us in eastern PA/Jersey/DE to warrant a meetup, why don't we just meet up there? But as a warning, my loyalties still lie with the New Yorkers. :o) Laura Llew, Mcmcmc claims that Kyle Maclachlan was just on the Daily Show talking about performing Shakespeare naked. And Ben has realized that you can't spell "street" without ree. Fuckin' A, who needs a tv when you have the #sinister peeps, hayna?? I wuv you all. xoxo Julie +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: i forget how comma's work sometimes
by kg 31 May '00

31 May '00

hello everyone... i'm kim, brand spankin new. i live in the state of connecticut.. but for only 6 more days. on june 7th i am moving 3,000 miles away to portland, oregon... all by myself. well, my sister is driving out there with me in the big moving truck... but then she is flying back to CT. i don't have a job yet... as a matter of fact i've been unemployed since february. i quit my job and took a 4 week trip overseas (i visited england, france, ireland and scotland--hooray!). and when i got back it took me a little bit of time to get everything in order... and now finally i'm getting my butt in gear and getting the heck away from the east coast. in the meantime i'm on damage control duty-- we got a new kitten last week and our adult kitty isn't pleased.. so i've been spending quite a bit of time petting and reassuring her that we still love her... that is when she isn't hissing at the kitten like a vicious snake! poor kitties! i've enjoyed reading all the posts so far these past 2 weeks that i've been in the nusery. legal man is causing quite a stir! all i have to say is, it's always a weird time when one's most cherished artist or band comes out with a new record. It usually takes some time for me to warm up to a new record... i get all worked up and most times feel let down when i have my first listen... but then i usually come around. it's always hard to welcome the new sounds in. although i must say that legal man is the exception to that rule-- i loved it on impact. i couldn't stop listening to it at first. it makes me want to have boy/girl parties where we eat icecream and play coy kissing games! it's so dreamy. but anyway, back to my point... i went to see elliott smith in nyc a few weeks ago. this was the 5th time (or 4th--i dunno) i've seen him live... he didn't play any accoustic songs.. everything he played was w/ the band and i don't think he played anything from his first 2 or 3 records. now, i don't want to sound like the bitter girl on the sidelines who frowns at shows cos i only like his "older stuff" but i have to say i was a little disappointed... but then i thought to myself... hey.. his new record is good..the gig is nice.. don't pout just cos he's not singing the songs he sang 3 years ago. i realized that i love his older stuff in a different way than i like his new stuff. and i just sorta have to think of him as 2 different elliott's. the one who makes my heart all melty and the one who does good more poppy songs with a full band behind him. it's sorta like liking 2 bands that sound completely different. hmm i don't know if that makes any sense now that i've typed it all out.. but it sure did when i was standing at the club... i dunno, it helped me to not be such a sour-puss. i think i've gone on enough for my very first post! if anyone lives in or around portland please send me an email to let me know you are out there! have there been any picnics in that area? your new pal, (the queen of the run-on sentence) *kg __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: For Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware Listees
by Meredith57＠aol.com 31 May '00

31 May '00

Dear Neighbor, I am going to the shore next week, and I just thought to myself, how about a pickityshnickty for us? Yes? No? In any case, I will be on the beach in Avalon on June 10, and if I happen to see you there (wink wink, say no more, say no more) then, well, perhaps we could meet. (I have to confess, every single time that I write that I will meet someone I think in the back of my head that I will "meat" them... oh, I'm sorry to have burdened you with that. Try to forget it.) I know this is short notice but it would be tons of fun. We could party late into the night, dancing to the undanceable tunes of our beloved pop stars and throwing back some cold ones. So that's the plan. I'll be there. Will you? Please email me if you would like to join me, and I'll give you the exact place so that you don't have to scour the entire beach looking for a stunning buxom blond in a black bikini. (Because, my friend, you will never find me that way!) I will bring FISHYCLAP and a stereo, as well as a few beautiful friends and Amy, my little blue ferret. (She likes the beach but she does not like the ocean.) With Trepidation, Meredith +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: honey is the milkmaid of human kindness
by FoxInASnow＠aol.com 31 May '00

31 May '00

Hello lovelies. This post isn't about Honey at all actually, i just always wanted to name a post that, but i haven't posted anything recently. Until now. > Now I am working as a secretary for a multimillionaire who owns > half of suburban Philadelphia. I've noticed several people have mentioned Philadelphia or Pennsylvania or New Jersey recently and i was wondering, why aren't *WE* having a picnic like everyone else is? Unless we are and i wasn't invited. Hummm...anyway, *i* think it's a good idea. We could meet up in Love Park, just cos the name seems right. Just remember it's against the law to give food to homeless people there. Aha, love my arse. There are lots of other places to meet up too. If anyone else thinks it's a good idea. I know there were ten other things i wanted to say to the list, but i always think of them when i'm not at my computer and by the time i'm on again i've forgotten. This is why i never post. Jessica! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Binge Drinking!
by Andy Corradino 31 May '00

31 May '00

I've been lurking for quite some time, but felt compelled to respond to lovely Courtney's post (one of the two or three Sinisterees I've actually met face to face). I say we do one better than an LA Sinisteree drinking party. I say we buy shitloads of wine, fruit, and cheeses, and all wear sheer togas. And then, if we should feel so inclined, we shall create a truth or dare circle and humiliate selected members in the middle of it. I've been in this naughty mood for quite some time. I think I've been bored since becoming a full time slacker after graduating university last summer. The group that opened for Supergrass in LA was one of the worst groups I've ever seen, and trust me, in the years and years I've been doing the LA club scene, I've seen my share of embarassing wankers. I didn't notice if the singer looked like Eartha Kitt because I was too busy ducking under the nearest table.

Sinister: my fallow summertime
by Meredith57＠aol.com 31 May '00

31 May '00

Dear Sinister, I saw someone who looked exactly like you the other day. So I ran up and knocked him in the back of his head with the heel of my hand, but when he turned around in blood-spitting anger I realized that it was not in fact you and I scampered away mumbling apologies. I've been home from school for a month, and I stumbled into employment a few weeks ago. Now I am working as a secretary for a multimillionaire who owns half of suburban Philadelphia. He has been having a lot of trouble keeping secretaries; they always seem to quit after just a short period of time. Of course, he has no idea why. (I, however, am starting to get a clue.) I do not see quitting as an option for me, because, well... ahem... he's my uncle. Wonderful situation, wouldn't you say? It's not too bad, I have a gift for pointless organization and I am fairly good at playing secretary. Nonetheless, I don't see a career opportunity here, because telephones make me terribly nervous. After work I wander home to lay on my bed and listen to music, drifting in and out of sleep until it's too late to nap. Then I get up and take a bath. Sometimes I look at my photo albums and laugh. It's lonely and it's quiet but it's ok for now. I really enjoy reading all of your letters. Who was it who told you that spending a summer wasting is a dangerous thing? Was it that heavyset fellow with the intricate comb-over? Oh, it doesn't matter. In any case, whoever it was, he's a venomous liar. Any good farmer would gladly explain to him that a season or two of weeds will increase productivity in the end. If you need the phone number of a good farmer, just ask my uncle. I had my first Belle and Sebastian dream the other day. Actually, it was a Stuart David dream. I discovered a cookbook in my kitchen and on the cover it said, "Stuart David's Gorgeous Desserts" with a picture of an old, smiling man holding up trays of desserts that were in fact quite pretty and well-decorated. I thought to myself, "That scoundrel, he's an old man and he's been fooling us all with that young, dashing but unconvincing stand-in!" However, later in my dream my brother introduced me to his friend Stuart David, who was the real Stuart David. When I questioned him in confusion, he sheepishly explained to me that the other fellow was a cunning impostor, and I felt wretched for having jumped to conclusions. One thing before I go ... We always tell each other about our beautiful dreams but not about the ugly ones. A few nights ago (in a dream, of course), I threw a boy down on the pavement and kicked him until he was nearly dead. Of course, he was trying to kidnap me to the land of evil, but still I didn't have to smash his teeth in or break his jaw. Sometimes you wake up from a dream with an ethereal breath in your lungs and the memory of that dream is just such a treasure, blah blah blah but sometimes you wake up and you are horrified and disgusted. Sometimes you dream about urine and vomit and war and stingrays and fat, sweaty, sobbing, tyrannical naked cartoon queens. Errr, I mean, sometimes I do. Respectfully, Meredith P.S. I too am suspicious of rabbits. Whenever I jog by them on the road, they run away from me. However, they make it a point to run out of their safe little bushes with a terrified look in their eyes, stand petrified for a second or two in front of me, and then tear back into an identical safe little bush. It's just as if they want to make it completely clear that they are running from me. The other day a whole pack of squirrels, six or seven of them, raced in panic from a tree just moments before I passed in order to hide in a tree on the opposite side of the road. A snub from the animal kingdom. P.P.S. If you're wondering about the queen, you will be relieved to know that I gave her a warm bath for her nerves and wrapped her in a soft, immense towel fresh from the dryer (just like her daddy used to do) and she decided not to cut off my head. * * * M.D.H.

Sinister: seattle's Rocket reviews FYCYWLAP
by Ian Connelly 31 May '00

31 May '00

oh, good! this, from the city which brought us mudhoney and soundgarden (and has, ahem, stolen everett true from the UK); while i love those bands, is it any wonder that b&s aren't rockin' enuff for mr. josephes? still, a cursory search of his name on google.com shows that he seems to like death cab for cutie, has written a bunch for pitchforkmedia.com, and he's a raving fan of innuendo, as are we all. so hold your fire! he's just looking for attention, the sweet young thing. as are we all. ian somehow wishing i could mix big black's 'the model' together with b&s's 'the model.' ---------- Forwarded message ---------- The Band With the Mopey Crap By Jason Josephes Belle and Sebastian Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like a Peasant (Matador CD) My editor told me that I couldn't use the word "gay" to describe this release. He didn't care whether I meant gay as in homosexual or gay as in how things like friendship bracelets or barbecues without alcohol are, you know, gay. That's okay, though, because a number of adjectives come to mind, really juicy ones like "pedantic," "dim" and "achromatic." See, Belle and Sebastian, an eight-piece group out of Scotland, have been riding the USS Critic's Darling and landing in the hearts of those who thought that Morrissey was a little too butch. Lead singer Stuart Murdoch likes C.S. Lewis and Kafka, thus jettisoning the ridiculously outdated idea of giving their audience some light-hearted escapism. The band's 1997 release, If You're Feeling Sinister, actually wasn't too bad, but then came 1998's The Boy With the Arab Strap, a slow and sour collection of sissy-folk. The painfully titled Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like a Peasant continues to remove anything vaguely resembling a spinal cord from the proceedings. The songs just seem to sit in the corner and mope, hoping that somebody, ANYBODY will give them a hug when, in reality, nobody likes a crybaby. But hey, maybe you like lite-lite-FM music. Maybe you want a band whose idea of stepping out on a limb is to add a trumpet to the proceedings. Maybe you, too, enjoy a pity party and wouldn't mind inviting songs with titles like "Nice Day for a Sulk." Maybe you eat paste. Whatever your hang-up, don't let me deny you or the rest of the critics who are rushing to proclaim Sebastian as the Belle of the ball. (Get it?) I know I'm outnumbered. I also know that it's easy to lockstep with everybody else on a critically acclaimed release. (Shit, I even once gave a good review to the Murder City Devils. The Murder City Devils, people!) I gave this album a fair chance, but every time I listened to Fold Your Hands, I pictured an overweight 15-year-old girl writing in her diary and wondering why nobody loves her. As for the actual music, let's just say that this band has discovered its formula. When the accompaniment isn't imitating the plastic bag from American Beauty, the band will decide to pick up the pace. The same pace, as in this one particular rhythm. It's steady -- but not too fast, now! -- and it's sprightly and occasionally it's got handclaps or an electric piano or something else that's completely inoffensive. But in the end, it always sounds stuffy and incomplete. I doubt any of these guys are raging tigers (although a few of them might dig bears) which makes any visions of restraint on the band's part a little tough to...um, you know. So, in conclusion, while Fold Your Hands isn't gay, it's definitely greased up and bent over. No. 326, May 24 - June 7, ?

Sinister: The Guilty Always Talk Like That
by Vicki Rider 30 May '00

30 May '00

Hi-- The last time I stole a book was in 6th grade. We were on our poetry unit and the teacher brought out all these poetry books. The only one I liked was this sixties classroom edition called "People In Poetry". It had all these great sixties-y poems ("Words so cataclysmic, words we've known since babyhood" to describe The Beatles' "You Won't See Me") it even had song lyrics to some West Side Story numbers and "59th Street Bridge Song". So at the end of the year I snuck it into my backpack. No one missed it. >stuart looks sooooo cute on the cover of the nme, and who ARE the smiths anyway? Aye, I deserved that. Has anyone heard of a band called The James Dean Driving Experience? I came across their name on a website and any band with a name like that must be good. I just heard "I Won't Share You" at Kinko's:-) But everyone else was too engrossed in their copying needs to notice a small auburn-haired girl waltzing to The Smiths. Just as well is suppose. Ciao! Rachel W. :-) Josef K: "For that matter, how can any man be more guilty than the next? Aren't we all merely human beings?"

Sinister: Unleash the Dragon
by Peter Miller 30 May '00

30 May '00

They're very weedy sounding congas, I bet they're bongos after all. I bought "Legal Man" today, at vastly inflated import prices. That's Katrina in that photo, you know. I think B&S have booked their place on the next Austin Powers soundtrack all right. It reminds me of Peter Sellers in "The Party". Tomorrow I'm going to rap over it, Jamiroquai style, to see if it gets any better. "Dick Slap" is a bit better. It reminds me of Denim, only with loose stools. I refuse to listen to "Winter Wooskie". Northern Soul rave-up, eh? I was a regular at the legendary Digbeth Casino in the early seventies, and they didn't have no fucking sitars. Has anyone noticed that "Thong Song" superstar Sisqo's name is a contraction of Sister Disco? Well it is, and he has to pay me royalties - 10p every time he grabs his grollocks. That's fifteen quid for every "Ready Steady Go" appearance. There's a bra shop underneath our new flat - can anyone lend me a periscope?

Sinister: Cal's Crazy Caption Compo
by Calumn Shearer 30 May '00

30 May '00

Hello! Come in, Tea? Coffee? I've got some biscuits, if you like...beer? at this time? OK, why not. I don't post that often, I'm sure you can forgive me. I have been accused by someone who shall remain nameless(1) of only sending mail to sinister when I'm giving stuff away, and he's right - so here goes.... Cal's Crazy Caption Competition! I went to the Glasgow and London Picnics. I took photo's (oh, oh! ) But, having scanned them in and put them up on the web, I think it'd be fun to write "amusing" captions for said photos. But I'm crap and "unfunny". This is where you lot come in. Check out the photos on http://www.btinternet.com/~calumn and send me your wit and wisdom. Simple, huh? I'll stick your caption up above the picture, and credit the author(2). After a suitable amount of time (end of June should do it.), I'll declare a WINNER!, send them a grand (3) prize (2) and take them out for a drink when I see them(5) You don't need to have gone to the Picnics, you don't need to know the people in the photos (god knows, I don't know who some of them are!) - just be witty! Thanks, Calumn PS - Can I have a dose of whatever literary bug has infected pinefox? 15. Charts. Grate! Hope B&S mime terribly on TOTP - that'll draw the teeny-bop crowd ;-) oh, please remember to tell me which picture(s) your caption(s) is(are) for. cos' I might not get the joke. 1) gay, Glasgow, football, sings-like-a-girl and nail varnish should help 2) if you would rather remain "anonymous" to escape the wrath of your friends/flatmates, that can be arranged - just let me know 3) Grand (adj) of highest rank; magnificent; very good; very fine... not, like, a thousand pounds/dollars/whatever. sorry. 4) I'm not sure what the prize will be, but I've got an E N O R M O U S promo poster for the new album and a can of Chris "Beenz" Geddes, which is a start. I'll have blagged some more B&S related shenanigans by the time the competition's over. 5) This may be some time, depending where you live and all that, but I'll do it. see if I don't +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
