Sinister: You're my Centre of Gravity
by Painting With Light 10 May '00

10 May '00

Yes each and every one of you ! Last night I went to the Yo La Tengo gig at Manchester RNCM and they were amazing! For those of you who can, I strongly recommend catching the last date on their tour which is up in Aberdeen. The only low point to the evening was the lack of Sinister folk where were you hiding? I even took some Jaffa cakes especially for Fiona just in case! Looking around for teeny weeny badges got me thinking, like more creative people before me, that a BIGGER signal might be needed? Especially for those like me, with the eyesight of a bat, who once mistook a "hi, ask me about our new camera range" badge for the not at all similar little pic of a camera B+S badge. But do we go with the "twee-shirt" (I think that was JenOwls word) or the smart *gulp* uniform? So rather than spending the night grooving with like-minded folks I returned to the train station to await my 5.20am train. On the way there was an attempted abduction by a wierdo Japanese guy. I had to hit him rather hard *Grin* I believe in Father Christmas and fairies but I can still kick ass! I gave his plate to the police so hopefully they'll pick him up soon. I spent the rest of the night/morning playing travel scrabble with the homeless guys in Piccadilly and taking pictures of people secretly. Oh and sending e-mails on those new BT payphones if anyone else is stuck with one of these and 3 or 4 hrs to kill here's a loophole to prevent payment. (Saving all my money for vinyl don't you know?!) Click on 'free gig guide' and then the tiny 'send a postcard' icon on the left. Once you get the hang of the screen you can send at least 2 little messages for free in your 'trial' 5 mins before it kicks you off. I realise this sounds quite sad but it beats sitting and watching the guy on the floor cleaner/lawn mower thingy. COMMENTS ON POSTS **************************************** Juicy Lucy said: "FREE BOUZE!" quite a lot, which was entertaining. Ages ago Ian @ dimensionflip said "oops, sorry, almost choked on my miffy easter egg there" which was obviously not the most important part but I wondered if these actually existed cos I love Miffy! Then I almost choked because, after mentioning seeing YUMMY Lou Barlow, (you lucky thing you) Jules Markham said: "I got the coolest job too! I start Monday, selling ice cream from a barrow attached to a tricycle! look out for a red haired lass" and I felt sooo stupid, guess who thought you were male hon? Sorry I've no idea why I presumed that but good luck with the job. I used to sell icecream but from a beach front kiosk. It involved lounging around in the sand or the sea (by beach front I mean BEACH FRONT!!!) eating as much ice cream as I could stomach, which was lots, and getting paid really well for the privilege life was hard I tell you. "Craig" craigrm(a)globalnet.co.uk said: "How does a modern day version of Scooby Doo* with B&S travelling around in a snappily painted van solving mysteries sound ?. e.g. Stuart : "... and that's how they switched Ponies without the circus boy's knowledge Mr Police Officer" Creepy Fairground janitor: "Damn !. I would've got away with it too if it wasn't for those pesky kids with their haunting melodies and clever lyrics" It sounds wonderful to me. It could be the 'Cities of Gold'* for the 'Noughties'** Sinisterians could take it in turns to voice the villains and the 'Is it them? Obviously not but we need to pretend you don't know whodunnit' red herring villains. "Robin Stout" said " If you want to be known by a label, you may as well be a tin of beans." And I pictured Honey/mummy talking to 1000+ well-adjusted tins of beans and figured it wouldn't be quite the same. He went on to say (I'm presuming the 'he' here [you'd think I'd learn after Jules and chatting in Jeepster] but I think we've met*** so it's a safe bet) "If I was writing this last week it would be full of bums and titties and that incident with the goldfish and the "novelty" shorts. But never mind." and I for one want to know what that incident was**** ???? *************************************************************************************** and that's about all from me folks except to say again that Yo La Tengo are AWESOME! And I've obviously been writing too many essays, even my e-mails have foot notes! Love and steady stars PWL P.S. Fb could talk for England *grin* * If you don't know this cartoon mail me privately and I'll fill you in cos it's the best! ** crap tabloid name for this decade. *** <insert disturbing giggle> but you won't know me. **** I'm aware it was a joke but I want creative expansion dammit! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

hello twee-ones im listening to a Papa M track right now called 'i am not lonely with cricket' and it has just got to a frequency that is making me shiver. and i cant stop it either. and, seeing as there's another 5 minutes of this track to go, you may just like to know that im writing this shiveringly. if you ever need to find a frequency that goes through your whole body and is quite unrelentless, get Papa M's Live from a Shark Cage, put track 8 on and sit back. you'll be amazed what it can do for your state of mind. JenOwl's last post was lovely. it's probably the sweetest thing i've read in months. she said: > I think twee is just being kind and nice, and not always hitting back, and > trying to help people even if they're bad to you, and being quite sensitive, > and being gentle and a bit of a wuss, but knowing when to stand up and fight > at the right times. But maybe I'm completely wrong, or something. and i more or less agree with the content but i agree more with the way she said it. tweeness is basically being able to see tweeness as a good thing and not see anything negative about being twee. im with the twee one on this! im going to stop there for now. the only other thing i'll say is that over the last few weeks, i've been twee with spiders and clouds. and, occasionally, rain. yours, chris_t_opher (have my first exam in 13 days, so wish me luck and send me financial support (for the drugs i plan to consume afterwards)) "i don't get emotional. i'm annoyingly calm and i'm an irritating bastard. i would loathe me" - Moby +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

by Jason Andreas 10 May '00

Hi all. I *might* (assuming I can cancel another thingie) be able to make the London picnic. I was just wondering if some kindly soul would be willing to put me up for the night, cos that's about the only way I'll be able to manage. If there is such a saint out there, please mail me at jasonandreas(a)breathemail.net with thanks.. --Jason Andreas Silent whispers in my head, Never heard but always said.

Sinister: And then I woke up...
by Pamela Tait 10 May '00

10 May '00

Me again. The after effects of Camel fags are still with me. New word: Fream. It means 'dream' but in a sorta drunk, speed chatting kinda way. Anyway my latest freaky fream was this: There was this *creature* and it was a *white* crow crossed with a ferret. It had fur and feathers. Anyway, it attacked me and, since I have a fear of birds, I shit my knickers. Naturally. It had teeth inside its beak and clamped its jaws round my arm. When i went to yank it off my arm, I pressed its jaws and they turned into those little crocodile clips you use in science labs. It's wings were flapping and fur flew. Then it's face went a grassy green colour and it vanished. Anyone had a similar fream? Hmm, better still, anyone ever freamed about The Judderman? Now, that's scary shit.... Ooooo, need a pint.

Sinister: T in the Park Meet Up
by Kerr, David 10 May '00

10 May '00

Alrighty Listees This is only about my third post since I tunnelled out from the nursery a few weeks back. At the moment I still have over 30 unread emails from the list in my folder. The reason that I am writing now is that I have come across a few T in the Parkers' who are interested in meeting up. Sounds like an absolutely fantabulous idea. Are there a lot of people on the list going to T in the Park this year? If you have never been I HIGHLY recommend it. I have only been the past three years but each year it gets better and better and I get more pissed than ever. What I think we should do is meet up before we pitch the tents so that we have our own little B&S Sinister camp site. It's a real shame that B&S aren't playing this year but we can still hope. Just over two months away so lets keep our fingers crossed. Before I go I just want to send out my deepest sympathies to Idle Berry who is feeling a bit shitty just now. Just go for a few pints and you'll feel a lot better!!

Sinister: uhhhhhhhhhh
by idle berry 10 May '00

10 May '00

hello all, well, heres a bit of fun. Been busy with essays and the like, and then Monday, just as I was planning to get stuck into some more coursework, something flu like has come along and beaten me senseless. And last night I couldn't sleep cos I couldn't stop coughing. So I had to call the doctor who came with the medicine, to help me feel better, and it was okay, cos it tasted sweet like raspberries. And I slept for a bit. I slept right through my flatmates usual noisy mornings. And I've lost my glasses, and my cash card and I think my sanity and brain as well. So insurance it is. And I'm really feeling annoyed and sorry for myself. I don't need this, only weeks before exam time. uhhh. All sympathies will be grately received. ===== http://www.geocities.com/idleberry __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

RE: Sinister: for london listees only.
by Hester, Mark (ELS) 10 May '00

10 May '00

Dear all (but especially Sam), "Of course London's a big place. It's a very big place, Mr Shadrack. A man could lose himself in London. Lose himself. Lose himself. Lose himself in London!", but I don't really think that it merits two picnics on the same day in two different places. Much as I love Greenwich and the opportunity to stand in both eastern and western hemisphere simultaneously, we heard from Mark Casarotto that the picnic was going to be at Primrose Hill, which is grate, because I've never been there before. I know it's really close to Regents Park and the zoo tho', and I've been there lots of times, speshly when I was really small. As for what to bring, I was thinking of wine. And tortilla chips. Not sure what else. Time to disappear in a puff of smoke, The Grandpont Genie. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
