Sinister: 10 Faggy But Nice Avenue
by Alasdair Cook MC1996 30 May '00

30 May '00

So, poetry eh? It's a bugger. The other day I was going to not spend any money, so why did I go into the book shop? And why to the poetry section? These are questions which may never be answered, at least not in this world, though perhaps in some kind of Star Trek future where we can all ask Q anything we want, except he laughs at our quibbles in that annoying omnipotent way of his. Where's old baldy when you need him eh? Of course the end of this tale is rather dull, it all comes down to the fact that I emerged from said shop with a copy of 'The Message' (4 pounds 95p, all good bookshops), and very nearly a copy of 'The Book Of Love' by Roddy Lumsden, although I hit myself a lot so as not to spend money I don't have, which is a bad thing. Especially as I'd already purchased 'Saturday Afternoons and Wednesday Tea-Times' by Gil Stutters. Heartily recommended, it's a wonderful addition to any bookshelf or kitchen floor. So I'll steal the Poetry Parrot for a bit, and give you the pleasure of some of the man's finest work. Most are quite short, which for me only adds to their emotional potency. Prepare to be enthralled... Damn Sexy I watched her for a while And thought of writing her a letter Proclaiming that her eyes were like points of light in heaven But her arse was even better Rambling Leaning, I leant on a brown fence post The fence post of my dreams Wrapped up in all futures past time Presently A woodland creature stirs, cacophonous In it's fluffy silence It's haven of tree, my perpetual nightmare It's smallness echoes my own size, inversely. On Being A Potato Imagining the forcing earth Ambitious stalks crawling ever sunward Passing me, in my unchanging gloom No, this would not do The time would be the real finisher Although the opposite end, it would still Feel the same What would Poe have said, I wonder? Love nor Money What is love? Said the farmer to the merchant banker. Love is money, for both make the world go round Said he, in his city wisdom Ah, but did not Superman also make the world go round And backwards? Spake the farmer No, love is a new tractor, a red one. You're right, said the banker. The tears are welling as I type. But I'll recover just enough to give you the next in my occassional series (bet you never thought I'd continue it, did you? Oh, ye of little faith...) of "What People Used To Eat." And I don't care if no-one enjoyed the last one. This one's far worse. "What People Used To Eat: During The 1978 World Cup" John Buchanan of Stirling says "Oh aye, 1978. (Sings) We're on the march wi Ally's Army, we're gon to the Argentine! Oh aye, that was a great laugh, great times. The first match we played Peru, so we all ate marmalade. Truckloads of the fucking stuff. Even now I can only have honey or jam on my toast. Mention jaffas and half of me 'll be over your shoes less time than it takes for Scotland to be eliminated. Iran were next, but we couldn't think of anything to eat from there, so we just ate curries seeing as they look a bit Indian. Well, some of them anyways... The last game was against Holland, so naturally enough we all stuffed ourselves full of tulip bacon. Well, we tried to, but couldn't find any tulip bacon in Argentina, so we had to eat actual tulips out the local flower shop. They're not bad if you dump loads of salt on them. Looking back maybe we should have gone for cheese. We could have been eating sausages and pasta as well if Jonny Rep had just miss-kicked that one fae 35 yards, but we probably would have done ourselves serious damage. Anthony Reid of Essex recalls "The 1978 World Cup? I just ate what I usually ate, which was egg and chips. I'ts lucky we never qualified otherwise I'd have been eating Argentinian muck. We still laughed at the Jockos though." Starry: > Almost makes me want to get married meself. But white is SO not my colour. And Stephin Merrit is still gay. Which reminds me, I want to buy 69 Love Songs but I have no money. This REALLY annoys me. I've just realised I have no Monet either, which is what I just wrote before changing it. Actually I might have a book at home, which ruins a bad joke. Why do people keep calling 'Winter Wooskie' 'Winter Wooksie'? Is it just to annoy me? Shit, I've just worked out what it is! The first 3 notes are 8 Miles High by The Byrds. Has someone already said this? Oh, and since I nicked the Poetry Parrot I should send it to someone, so my co-pilot Kevan Cooke is getting it, since he usually steals my ideas anyway... B&S on TOTP eh? I can barely contain myself. I hope they've got their dance routine worked out. If Struan doesn't wear his silver trousers I want my licence fee back. I'd better not get a life before Friday, otherwise I might have to go out.

Sinister: One tryst with me and you'll be Pope
by Andrew Tracey 30 May '00

30 May '00

Hello one and all I've been feeling a bit depressed recently. Or, more correctly, a bit of me has recently been depressed - my cheekbone. There I was, one Saturday night, quietly minding my own business, walking into town for an evening of fun and frolics, when a group of lads took umbrage to something about me (most probably my opposable thumbs) and one of them got me with a right hook. Totally apropos of nothing. Not even a genuine air of hostility or an aura of approaching confrontation. I managed to get away before any more damage was done but the question is this.... Once a c*nt, always a c*nt???? The bloke who hit me couldn't have been more than 18 or 19. Now, when I was a teenager, I was a bit of an arsehole. Nothing violent or thuggish, just generally a bit of a twat (listening to Metallica, laughing at the Mary Whitehouse Experience, that sort of thing). I am now a model citizen - helping old ladies across the road, tut-tutting at kids swearing, that sort of thing. Will my local cheekbone-smasher similarly develop into someone who I could maybe have a quiet pint with someday, or is his path to total moral bankruptcy set in stone? Have any members of the collected Sinister massive left behind a tempestuous youth of badness (genuine badness - violence, criminal acts) and drifted into the lagoon of civil responsibility? If not, is there a case to be made along the lines of "It's obvious who the troublemakers are from an early age, so why don't we just slit their throats when they're 16?". Or is that a bit harsh? In my defence, someone did leave a copy of the Daily Mail on the train this morning and I read it. I feel so unclean. Other news - B+S probably on TopofthePopPickersMate this Friday. Bugger. The one Friday I actually have a social life and will be out of the house (gokarting, if you must know). Also, S Club 7's song is fab. And Steps are releasing a slow song!!!! Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. The NME thing - Don't get too worked up about Steven Wells. If I worked on the NME I'd slag off everyone just to annoy people. Especially Primal Scream. But especially those wankers on the Sinister list. FHM 100 fittest women thing - Where on earth is the woman who puts the watch into Watchdog - Charlotte Hudson? (As opposed to Anne Robinson, who contributes the rest of the show's title). Isn't she just totally lovely? For those.....who haven't yet taken heed of all those financial people telling you to build up a nestegg for your retirement and are short of long term investment - get your money on Spain for Euro 2000. I'm rambling again, aren't I? +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Youth is the time of life lived for some imaginary audience
by NALeigh82＠aol.com 30 May '00

30 May '00

I should be happy right now, I technically became an adult yesterday which should have been a joyous occasion but the world conspired to depress me. I was watching the conclusion to BBC Music Live and although a day celebrating music is a good thing it just made me sick. How can the BBC claim to care about music when last week they sacked one of the finest radio dj's in the world, Andy Kershaw. I know radio 1 is supposed to be 'commercial dance for 16-24 year olds' but surely a public service could allow this show to continue, in a timeslot where only people passionate about the show itself will listen. This means that the only time I will hear any music from Africa in the future will be on the odd occasion that John Peel decides to play something by John Chibadura and that makes me sad. I think being controller of radio 1 would be one of the greatest jobs in the world, you have no obligation to maintain high audience figures as you have no sponsors and so you could play any music you like. Andy Parfitt has the power to change peoples lives and give them profound experiences through music, but he seems happy to play mindless twaddle and only allow one or two good songs onto the C-list if the artist allows the first verse to be cut (American Trilogy - The Delgados). What makes this more sickening is that he claims that he is sacking Andy Kershaw in the interests of exciting new music. Somehow I don't think his PR man thought that through when he wrote his statement for him. Jen sez: " I went to see Final Destination last night, and you know how the adverts where people are screaming and stuff and it says 'actual audience reaction', well, believe me, it's true. People were being sick and screaming and me and my friend just clutched on to each other for the whole film, it was so scary." When I saw that 'actual audience reaction' I knew it was real too as it looked as though there were only about 12 people in the cinema at the time and just row after row of empty seats. Personally I prefer it when an advert for a film has a quote saying "THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER MADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and then the quoted publication (TV Quick) in really small writing underneath. But still i'm glad Jen found Final Destination interesting, I hope it was self referential enough for you. (My god that phrase is becoming a genre of film in itself all to quickly for my liking) OK, i've followed the 15 minute rule but I still feel that i've flouted sinister etiquette (Oh Yeah: 'Insert self-depreciating comment so no-one will take the piss out of anything you've said') Sorry to have wasted your time with loads of mindless twaddle.

hello folks, sister disco said: > Kevan, I haven't heard the new record yet, but are you sure they're > bongos? I've just got a hunch that maybe they might be in fact > congas... which is of course correct, and the very mention of the word conga got me to thinking... which b&s song would be the best to conga to? "legal man" might be up there amongst the front runners, but i suspect that "she's losing it" would be the ultimate b&s conga song. why not try it next time you play tigermilk? unless you are driving at the time - that would be dangerous. sadly even if we managed to get the entire sinister list shuffling and kicking alternate legs in one long line we would still be some way off the world record of 119989 people. alasdair cook said: > certain people are working on Brother Badger and Sister Squirrel as > I type is that "working on" in a "tied to a chair and beaten with some rubber hosing" sort of way? what could these poor woodland creatures have done to warrant such actions? you'll probably be attaching kittens to kites next, you sicko. paul arathoon said: > i am working on my sister- she's beggining to crumble. now you're all at it! bye, kevani p.s. stuart looks sooooo cute on the cover of the nme, and who ARE the smiths anyway? wet fun... http://www.splishsplosh.co.uk/ *********************************** chickclick.com http://www.chickclick.com girl sites that don't fake it. http://www.chickmail.com sign up for your free email. http://www.chickshops.com boutique shopping from chickclick.com *********************************** +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Golden treasures from this weekend
by Arantxa Sanz 30 May '00

30 May '00

It is all about moments: During my Saturday walk around Wollaton Park, unique starting point of any pique-nique in this area ,Kathy,Smiley et al,where some sort of world music festival was taking place in one of the fields at the time,I was whistling incesant+irritantingly the CONTROVERSIAL tune Mr Dastoor mentioned earlier. This is only a sample of my love of perilous activities,as because of that festival, there was some statistical probability of NME activists in the area,which could have found enough reasons with that to throw me to the lions. So,when seeing 'Gladiator' last night the polemical lyrics came back to my mind once again.He was called 'Spaniard' for no good reason, have I missed anything relevant?His family spoke Italian in the intimacy and his house seemed taken from some Tuscany Holidays catalogue for Blairites,I am very confused.They did not even speak English with vague Mediterranean accent as other characters,but Italian before it was invented.Wicked. Some family tweed makes more sense in my case,coming from both sides from dinasties of tailors and seammistresses.But that is Scottish.These lyrics are really accounting for some intellectual effort escaping in a first go... Spinster-Sinister:I could maybe become a suitable Ms Parker in a few years,but my body has no resilence about alcohol units,which leaves in a dubious position to apply for that career choice.Great idea,anyway. xxx A. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: hunter s Thompson and the essence of twee
by Paul Arathoon 30 May '00

30 May '00

Hmm. so that "Colin Anderson", if that's what he wants us to believe is his real name, says grow up and get a life does he? . Well i will be the first to rip my cardigan in the name of revolution. i may even be prepared to sacrifice my raleigh chopper if the cause requires it. I don't believe he's even a fan. i don't think he has any of the records. I don't even believe he was at the same concert. He's a trouble maker. actually, on reflection he has my wholehearted support even if he does like the Lighthouse Family so maybe I won't cast him to the lions yet. Anyway... 60 minutes until my final Final. so at 5pm I will not be an undergraduate anymore. I won't be a Graduate either. I will be stuck in a strange limbo where I am a Graduand. and there i shall remain for a month not knowing if I should behave like a student (ie generally like a dickslap) or like a proper real person (ie like someone with standards). Well, tonight Matthew, I shall be very much the student and get v drunk (Note- if any one is in the Manchester area come to the Union bar at 5pm and get drunk with me. I have a black jumper on which is quite thick and will be more than likely drinking with a huge black guy called Alexis) B&S content: the saturday afternoon shoppers obviously didn't think as much of B&S as the monday-friday ones. A shock slump from 9-15 in less than 48 hours. How fickle. Props to Nick.D for wanting more teeny bopper fans. i am working on my sister- she's beggining to crumble.

Sinister: Bank holiday comes six times a year
by Hester, Mark (ELS) 30 May '00

30 May '00

Strange things Bank holidays. Very British. Invented by some Liberal MP called John Lubbock in the last-but-one century, they are a capital idea, but I wish they could have more imaginative names, like commemorating events or people in history like they do in many countries. Anyway, Oxford is a little bizarre because there are large numbers of people here whose employers don't recognise them and so their employees have to scowl and swelter indoors whilst everyone else is enjoying themselves. I made the mistake of asking two friends what they were going to do and received the vitriolic response "Grrr...I'm working" The students of the older of the two Universities here also have to work like any other day, but with three eight-week terms and huge long vacations they don't tend to get the same levels of sympathy. Anyway yesterday was a bank holiday and I went as I always do to Fun in the Parks, an event at South Park, Headington. Maybe it was the mood I was in at the time, but it didn't seem as good as in previous years. The funfair seemed smaller and there wasn't the usual plethora of stalls of various local worthy organizations with tombola, plant and book sales etc. But there was at least a BBC Music Live stage where a folk band called Back of Beyond were playing. Usually I don't go for this sort of music, but they were really good, playing songs from every continent (with one obvious exception, penguins and well-wrapped geological researchers not being noted for their songwriting prowess). I remember one song from Burundi and one from Bhutan called 'Mountain song'. Time to reply to a few people now.... >WEB COMMUNITY Caroline, I don't get embarrassed about being on the list and I don't know anyone who does, but I must concede that I do get occasional comments about it being "a bit sad". I think such comments can be attributed to jealousy; they are typically made by people who don't have an interest which they share with lots of people that would warrant the creation of a list and so they are denied the opportunity to make new friends all over the world. >SING-SING Haven't heard any of their stuff...sorry. Bit out of touch, which members of Lush are in Sing-Sing? Miki and Emma? Lush changed their sound quite a bit in their career didn't they? The later stuff was more polished and immediate and a good deal more chirpy..."Single Girl", "Ladykiller" etc. > 'Family Twee', you see, had its 'controversial' lyrics penned by Stuart himself. In what way controversial, Nick? I can imagine more people finding 'Chalet Lines' controversial. >I also wish to join the crowd that wants The Loneliness of a Middle Distance Runner to >be officially released, ooh, yes me too. I so want it to be the next single, but I can well understand if the band makes us wait a little longer. After all, we had to wait a long time for the release of Tigermilk on CD. I am going to have to unsubscribe soon, but only temporarily, as I'm going to Canada for three weeks from 8th-28th June inclusive and much as I'd love to, I know I won't be able to read all the messages that will accrue in that time. I have mentioned this to some of you already, but if there are any listees in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa or (bit of a long shot, this) Thunder Bay who would like to meet up, listen to some B&S etc. then please e-mail me privately and I'll let you have details of my itinerary. There'll be much travelling about on the Greyhound to begin with, including a trip to Niagara. I intend to go to the BlowUp and International Colouring Contest club nights in Toronto, but as yet I don't have many definite plans. My next post will have a subject line containing a band name completely unrelated to what follows. Cue chant of "Copycat, copycat I know what you're playing at".

Sinister: I could dance all nite like i'm a soul boy
by stephen hewitt 30 May '00

swells? swells? SMELLS (of wee), more like. Alex P (for !P!O!P!) Tobin said: > anybody know what drugs the man (swells) is on and where i can get some? > He's *obviously* on "bigfatbaldoldman" drugs and i really don't think you want any of *them* do you? These drugs are so powerful that they can make you think MUSE are a good band ferchristsakes, don't see THEM storming the barricades with the may day rioters now do you????? I haven't seen THEIR 10 point plan for changing society!! Didn't REALISE third-rate radiohead would bring down capitalism as we know it. Ah, but they have LOUD guitars, which is equivilant to politics when you are on bigfatbaldoldman drugs. AND, AND, how come Leftfield can get away with, and indeed be praised for, hiding away from the music press and doing things their own way... Sorry, I'll stop now..... Anyway, nice weekend everyone? good. I think 15 is a nicely respectable placing, especially in the current bedlam that is the UK top 40, any bets on next weeks position? I'll go for 34 (bearing in mind, non-UK listees, that singles no longer go up in our chart, they simply enter and then fall). Should we organise like a little page to put reviews of the new album on, rather than sending them all to the list? I realise there are like copywrite issues and stuff, but it'll put them all in a big pile and we can compare them. I'm sure i could knock something up if people want to send me their local press reviews, the more obscure the better i guess, especially if there are off the wall opinions or comparisons. I'm getting a bit worried about Nick Dastoor, if his next post quotes Huey Lewis and the News or Whitney Houston we'd better start checking his flat for nailguns, habitrail and severed heads... xoxo CarsmileSteve +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
