hello dear boys and girls, i was so far away from here for such a long time, that now i really don't know the situation. i missed this place. i missed this kind of sweet loneliness, here on my computer, late at night, reading tons of your posts. i have been so tired all this summer.working on street play(i don't know how to explain it. theatre/animation on the streets). it was a endless hot summer for me and i can't wait for winter to come. i've been reading some of the late posts you've send(since may) and i saw that the usa elections were the hotest theme of the summer. well, i know that i should be interresed in that( and i am), i think that maybe all the world should care for it(you know what i mean), but, sincirly,i am not so fond of it and that is not what i expect to read here. so... i'm sorry for being so lazy. someone said here(i can't remenber who, sorry) that B&S are a great sound for traveling. yes, i think that too. i think they're the perfect soundtrack for walking in the streets, for my supermarket time, for my stupid and endless bus life. so, nothing new. who have never saw jean luc godard's"le meprís"? you really don't know what you're missing. just a sugestion. well, telletubies are on my tv so i'd better go. sorry for this pointless post but my head is bleeding inside, making me eat yogurts and i still rely on her. lots of hugs for you all(lawrence i have not forgot you) love, Pedro--------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ Email for Writers & Readers from www.malaspina.com http://www.malaspina.com/ Malaspina Great Books Homepage! http://www.mala.bc.ca/~mcneil/template.htm +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: You never close your eyes anymore when you read my posts...
by Laura Llew 28 Aug '00

28 Aug '00

Happy Birthday to youuuuu Happy Birthday to youuuuu Happy Birthday to Sinister (and Stu David, JEB Stuart, Pookie, JD Stephens, and a zillion other people) Happy Birthday to youuuuu I figured I ought to get a post out before we're flooded with torrents of missives concerning the Sinister picnic of the day. Since it was a birthday celebration was everyone in their birthday suits or just in their red undies? I didn't do anything celbratory. However, I did get called a phreak (which is akin to being freaky) because I'm wearing socks with toes. (They're like gloves for the feet. Very cozy.) I love sinister. Of course, I really just use it to leech off of Peter Miller's & Brad!'s wit. Y'all both need to write more posts because I've used all of your snappy lines already. I figure if I virtually surround my people by bright clever people than I can some how soak in the goodness. It worked for Judas Iscariot ... or not. Course even if I was in London I probably wouldn't have gone to the picnic. There was that snazzy KinderGore festival a few weeks ago in Athens which is just a few hours from me. I thought of going and then I realized I wasn't hip enough so I fled to go plunder in old book bookstores in Maine for a week. It was quite nice. At the highest point on the Atlantic coast, I fell in love with the guy with black curly hair who was wearing a Salt Lake City tee shirt and holding a fancy camera. He was standing in front of me and it all ended when he turned around & saw his face. However, those three minutes were bliss. Later that day, we went down to the rocky cliffs by the ocean and I saw where someone has set their copy of Ellison's "Invisible Man", a notebook, and a a bottle of water down on a rock. I didn't even see the owner of it all but I was on the rebound. So, I fell in love again. It was an eventful trip. Canada (Ottawa, Montreal, & Quebec) was also a stop on the trip and that was lovely. Don't worry - I didn't ask anyone to sing "Jumper" in french. No, the drive was sponsored musically by Modest Mouse (oh love the new album), Pavement, Soda Stream, The Magnetic Fields, a lovely mix tape by Will Harris (who makes the best mixes EVER), a compilation of all of b&s's singles (plus, an ace copy of Loneliness of the middle distance runner) given to me by the darling James Thorniley, and the letter B (standing for Bonney Boys). Wily Walkn10 Steve Stuttered: "Well, I hope everyone's summer is still going well...men's basketball season is right around the corner, and Mrs. Llew can look forward to 6 whole months of beat-downs." I personally snap to attention whenever I hear my name near words like "beat-downs" and especially when it's used in conjunction with "right around the corner." However, Steve's words completely threw me off guard with the title 'Mrs. Llew.' Mrs.? When did I get married?? I swear (like a sailor) that the bride is always the last to know! Can someone tell me who my husband now is? I hope that won't effect my spinisterine status. Ohh thinking of Spinisterines- Miss Velocity wrote me a lovely poem with the note of, "I know it's silly... but i just wanted to make you smile... are you smiling??" attached. Well, Special K had no way of knowing that that day I had 3 final exams, an end of course project, and a dentist appointment. Throw in a plague and some famine and I could have gotten to nurture my inner Job. The poem did make me smile though and for that I'm grateful. In fact, I love all of the Laura Llew poetry so much that I ventured into the unknown realm of webpages to bring the Laura Llew Anthology of poetry to the world. Yes, indeedy. Now, instead of just being used to clog up the archives of Sinister the poetry the lLLl are also now set forth at http://www.angelfire.com/indie/badpoetry Yes! Click on the shiny blue link now to be taken into a world of sniffin glue, milkmaids, and the occasional rhyme. I even dug through my stuff to find two poems written to/for me by my two of my best friends. I would like to make a few disclaimers first (though they won't make sense until after you see the site): 1. William Andrew Harris is a different entity from the so-called President William Munro Harris. Two separate personages. I put the picture of William A. Harris up because it is actual photo phootage of him reading the poem to me two years ago. I realize that it is a particularly bad picture and his profile is looking a bit goat-like. However, he is quite cute or so I was assured by my 3 roommates who all had mad crushes on him. All I know is that he gave me lots of presents that year so I was happy. I even obtained his permission to put the picture up. (He said, "I don't remember it being THAT unflattering, Laura." Oh it is. At least, he doesn't have on his glasses which make him look like a Nazi Death Camp guard. Heil Harris!) 2. I have never sniffed glue. (I prefer whiteout and those supposedly nontoxic scented markers). 3. I will happily take more submissions (Not just in poem form either. Any volunteers to be my slave or cabanna boy are more than encouraged as well..) D. During my hunt for poetry, I came across one written three years ago for a co-worker at the time. It begins: Ode to Marky Mark Powder Cakes Wanna hear something weird? The hair on your back looks like Porter Rockwell's beard. Too bad it's not on your head Enough Said. It goes on but I'll spare you. I figured that you could tell from this why there is no poetry BY me on there. It does sound like it could apply to someone else though doesn't? Tell me, Mark C*, did you ever work as a telemarketer in the US? If anyone can tell me who Porter Rockwell is without looking it up anywhere, you'll get my crush vote. I went to a restaurant in Lehi Utah once with a Porter Rockwell theme. Needless to say, it was scary. your bookshop girl, Laura 'meeting all of your Laura Llew needs since 1977' PS- #sinisters, do any of you have the link for the boy:girl test? (The one that tells you how feminine your brain is or something like that). Could someone pleasepleaseplease send it to me. I'd be ever so grateful. I'm warning you chatters now that I'm going to be returning to my home while i'm at home soon. PPS- the above ps reminded me of boygirlorder - Noah (Mark). I was happy to see that he posted again but sad to see that neither Will Porter or I were blamed for it. Sure, you get big and forget all the little scapegoats. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Sinister: Jingles! Cabaret! Merseybeat!
by ian nicolson 28 Aug '00

28 Aug '00

(The early parts of this post have tendencies toward both sentimentality and wankiness. So quick! avert your eyes, children, it'll soon be over!) Earlier this week I climbed a hill overlooking Edinburgh called Arthur's Seat, which, despite having lived here all my life, is something I'd never managed before. This can mainly be put down to laziness and my eventual conquest has probably more to do with boredom than much else. From the top you can see the entire town, and although Edinburgh is a small city, it's still an impressive view. Leaning on the Ordanance Survey pillar at the top, in a valiant but doomed attempt to regain my breath *and* smoke a cigarette, surrounded by Scandanavians and Americans, I looked down over the town and it was like seeing my life so far spread out in front of me. As far as I can tell life is a collection of little stories of experiences and suchlike and everywhere I looked there was some kind of story or memory. Some parts of town reminded me of individual experiences, while others were more connected with certain periods of time. I thought of the people I'd known, who, despite promising not to, I'd lost contact with and who may, or may not, still be down in the city somewhere. And I thought of the people I still know and how important it is that I don't lose touch with them, however difficult that might seem. Most of all I thought of how I'd reached a juncture in my life and how it had seemingly ground to a halt since leaving university earlier in the summer. I realised that I have to do something to get it started again, to actually make the big decisions for the first time in my life, although I've no idea what those decisions are. But the only way in which I can see this happening is for me to finally leave Edinburgh, however much I love it. Nick, the Polyester Groom said: > Ive entitled the summer of 2000 "The Summer of > Endings" This is maybe true for me too, but I'd like to think it could be a summer of beginnnings as well. OK, you can look back at your screens now. But be warned! there may be further spells of wankiness ahead. Sorry for the shameless self-indulgence - I'll have to stop giving myself away like that. Anyways, Liz Daplyn pondered: > At what point in ones life does one really really > have to grow up? On her twenty second birthday earlier this year, a friend of mine told me that she was worried that she might have to buy a handbag cause she might be grown up now. Which was intreguing. Is buying a handbag a recognised sign of growing up? Is there a set age at which one (ladies, mainly) should buy a handbag? I think we should be told! I went to see Alasdair Gray (not a handbag carrier, as far as I'm aware) at the Edinburgh Book Festival on Friday, and despite being sixty-five and incredibly intelligent and knowledgable I think it would be fair to say that there are a lot of ways in which he hasn't grown up. And Edwin Morgan, who I saw reading poems at the same place the week before, seems to be, at eighty, getting younger. So the answer is probably never, Liz. Not really really grow up. But I'm just a young sprig of a boy, what do I know?! By the way, these are two people who you *should read*, kids. Ransack your libraries post haste! Sometime this week Paula Cullen yelled: > "I QUITE LIKE COCK ACTUALLY" Which you can hardly argue with, as well as: > the conversation came around to what was The Best > Curseword In The World.........Ever. naturally, > "Cunt" was streets ahead of the rest, what with it > being the Most Offensive Word In The English Language > and all. You would have thought so, wouldn't you Paula? I certaily did, but apparently it's not. At least not in Britain. The one thing that they told me at university that I still remember, and therefore must have seemed to me at the time to be of greatest use, is that according to the British film classification people "motherfucker" is badder than "cunt". Which is fair enough, I guess. But only if it's your own mother. And "twat" is worse than "arse". Who'd have thought it? I seem to have written more gibberish than usual tonight. Shut up, Ian.

Sinister: Glam rock apologies
by CaMo81＠aol.com 27 Aug '00

27 Aug '00

Apparently, I was in error when I stated that Sebastian Bach was a 70's glam rocker. I apologize for any outrage or confusion this may have caused. But, still the contrast between B&S and Sebastian is pretty stark! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Hello everyone :) It feels like it's been ages since I've posted...probably because it is. Same as everyone else, it seems, a lot has been going on. So here we go, a run down of my life during the past 3 or so weeks: 1. Exam results. Yay...no Higher-style debacles here, just a very nice set of results that made me smile lots. Four whole A-Levels <g>. 2. Thus: University. GLASGOW! Enough said :) 3. It's my birthday tomorrow. And I know that my lovely boyfriend ventured into Avalanche in Glasgow to buy a rather twee and endearingly cool 'Belle Et Sebastien' t-shirt. Also: nice bracelet from grandma (good ol' grandma). 4. The highlight of the past week was a great night out at The Social in Nottingham to see Richard Colburn and Chris Geddes DJ. David (for David see: 'im indoors) actually had a conversation with Goddess, sorry, Geddes. Lucky bugger, grrr. Anyway, enough idle chit-chat about me. How are you, eh? <g>. I was just catching up on my mail after weeks of neglect due to various trips (Glasgow, Devon), and stumbled across a scarily close reflection of my own life in Amy's mail. Especially: >my wee sister confessed to me last night that she is a closet n*sync >fan. >should i disown her? or maybe play b&S to her non stop until her ears >bleed? this happened before, when i liked blur and she hated them, i > >pinned >her to the floor and put "popscene" on repeat play full blast for half >an >hour. she's never been the same since. There was a scary moment in my not-so-wee sister's formative years (last year) that she developed a strong liking for All Saints. I insisted on playing B&S at every opportunity, especially when driving her around. Muhahaha. Worryingly, she now likes Slipknot...perhaps this is a reverse-psychology-esque effect of B&S subjection? Are any other Sinisterines going to Glasgow Uni this year? <blushes> I'm uprooting from Nottingham to Glasgow in approximately 4 weeks, living in halls, and when I think about it: I'm a little bit scared. In a good way, of course, but it'd be nice to meet some of you if you're there and in a similar position to me (ie First Year at Glasgow). Does anyone else like Tanya Donelly/ Belly? I'm rediscovering her loveliness right now, listening to 'King'. Ahem. Lots of tired love, Katy xxx "Race me through this heart-broken town" ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail 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: havinitlarge

what jason said... " It's one of those 'havin' it large' occasions where the dance community get together and sort of wave their hands about in random directions in vague time to the beat. I was, suffice to say, not 'loved up,' 'havin' it large' or even enjoying myself much. " i just finished watching 'human traffic'. i'm not a dance person at all, but the whole going out in a gang really reminded me of my friends, and the way we approach clubbing (but we do less drugs). we've totally got a little indie clique going on. which suits me well. because "I find a new group of people to hang with, everything's okay or so for a few months then they just, without warning, get fed up of me and stop talking. " this has happened to me. more than makes me happy. my friends now are all nice, but recently i realised that a couple of people who i've been friends with for a couple of years have vanished off the radar. and it kind of feels wierd because the people i'm really close to now are the people that they introduced me to, so we have a lot of common friends. im watching 'walker, texas ranger' now. does chuch norris sing the theme tune? love you all. kate. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail 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: Music my dear...
by Sam Devere 26 Aug '00

26 Aug '00

So this is my first post in a while, I haven't been reading this list much during the past year or so and feel out of the loop. My question is what are some good bands/albums that have come out during the past year? Send me your opinions and I'll summarize and post to the list so this doesn't degenerate into another WWF conversation. Does anyone know where the original version of Mogwai's "Don't Cry" comes from? I got it on Napster but want to buy the original on cd...

Sinister: Say the right things, when you're auctioneering, I trust I can rely on, your bid...
by Jason Andreas 26 Aug '00

26 Aug '00

Hello folk poppers. *exhales in a vague fashion* I was dragged last night by my friends Andy, James and Gary to 'Pressure Night' at the Arches in Glasgow. It's one of those 'havin' it large' occasions where the dance community get together and sort of wave their hands about in random directions in vague time to the beat. I was, suffice to say, not 'loved up,' 'havin' it large' or even enjoying myself much. I did manage to throw in a couple of 'big fish, little fish, cardboard box's' though, so all was well on that score. I doubt I'd do it again, but it certainly was an experience. My (so called) life has gone through one of the usual stages again. I find a new group of people to hang with, everything's okay or so for a few months then they just, without warning, get fed up of me and stop talking. This happens to Andy too. Is this a usual thing for everyone, or are we just unlucky sods? I hope that most members of Sinister are putting themselves up for auction. Remember, it's all in a good cause. Got my Soulwax ticket yesterday, so this'll be the *fourth* time I've seen them, come October. Nice :) There seems to be an extraordinary amount of bands I want to see coming up soon. I'm still trying to work my Bob Dylan ticket into my budget, but apart from him, there's also Lou Reed, Doves, It's Jo And Danny, Badly Drawn Boy, ...Trail Of Dead, Placebo, and quite a few more too. It's gonna be a gigging time! Joke: What has four legs and an arm? Answer: A happy pit-bull. Never ever did manage to get in touch again with wee Heather McDonald, despite all my numerous attempts. If anyone on the list knows her, can you please assure me she's okay? <grin> Have had the most unquenshable thirst ever lately. I must have drank about 50000000 litres of Sunny Delight, Lucozade, Irn Bru, American Cream Soda and the new Juice Up things. Buzz! Buzz! Pro Plus is nice! BUZZZZZZZZ! Awaiting the new Radiohead album with some trepidation, nervous about this whole new dance-orientated prog-rocky sound. It's gonna be like Primal Scream soon - having to do a different sound each album just for the sake of it! Grr! Anyone know if Godspeed You Black Emperor! are going to come back to Glasgow this year? I know they're playing some UK dates, but I don't know exactly where. Work continues to be pish <grin> Nah, it's not as bad as it could have been. I was ready to join a production line, for Twee's sake! Jen Owl's "Bite me!" to the hard kid scares me somewhat. I get the impression she's not the sweet little innocent she claims to be <wink> I've not heard from Toffeecrisp for a while - are you still online at all? Same goes for a few other people who will undoubtedly know who they are, or possibly wont. Who knows? I like to receive text messages, so send nice ones (and tell me who you are if poss) to 07833 945 517 Grr! Grrrr! Arrrrgh! Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiinnnnnnnnssssss!! Eek! Sorry, went a bit zombie-fied there. Okay, my 15 minutes are gone. And so am I. A prize (as yet undecided) to the first person to tell me where my new signature quote comes from. --Jason Andreas Guardian of the Obvious It is said, that when He saw a weed trying to grow between two rocks, that he moved one of the rocks.
