Sinister: Shimmy Shimmy cocoa wha listen to it now
by Genevieve Wesley 25 Aug '00

25 Aug '00

So many birthday celebrations.It's my mummys and the scrumptious Struans and soon the brithday of Sinister itself.Plus I turned 18 a few days ago.Yay!I think this is like my fourth birthday on the list.See,I just can't get enough of you sinisterines.Don't I receive reward like a smothered-in-sweetness Stuart jumping out of a cake kind of thing? I hope you all had nice summers,probably travelling all over the world! I went to...Michigan.It's all good though.American boys amuse me.Well I can't speak for them all,but just that particular state,and the ones that work at Blockbuster.People just get too excited around Canadians.We can't help being so wild,you know. "Can you sing Jumper for me in french?" "What is this Jumper?" "Woah dude.. don't you have like Third Eye Blind in Canada!?!" And then it gets to talk of milk bags and aboot and theres no saving them. I wish the Marijuana Party would take over polotics..or am I confusing it with the Natural Law? Its the ones who want to defend the earth by yogi-bouncing towards the attackers..thats who I want.Dude! Boys who say 'dude' make me giggle.Like this odd little rickshaw runner who yelled out 'Dude! It's the Charlie's Angels!' at me and my two friends yesterday.I guess that means it's time to update my hair (famous watson feathered perm,we've had such such good times,mmm) and leave the painted-on flares in the dust.But anyways,why aren't we doing bosom poems anymore? Even though I am an adult now,I will still be juvenile for a while.(I will be a real adult when I go to Europe,cut all my hair off and meet weird men) I liked Martin and Ally's poems and on a personal note, I will now share my own,my favourite poem,ever,from a boy: your eyes are like paintballs. spattered on a wall, your hair leaps like fire, your teeth used to maul, your smile like rainbow, your choice soap is zest, Genny I love you and I want your breasts. My older brother sent me video of obscure french pop and some early 60's hits.Every single video contains about 5 girls doing the twist in bikinis.It's very funny because while they are wiggling away,most of the expressions on their faces are of a calm serenity.I really like that 'Wonder Boy' hit by Lesley Gore.Although she sings about him as a junior prom date,the Wonder Boy in the video looks suspiciously more like prom date's father.The dancing girls in this video all wear white pleated skirts that fly up when they shimmy to reveal (gasp!) baggy,tan coloured GRANNY pants! Now a while ago,Fair Princess Honey was talking about how we could celebrate Sinister birthday by all wearing same colour underwear,but please NO TAN. What about a nice maroon? Hey what ever happened to all that talk about volunteering services? That's pretty exciting stuff and now what..not one single word of it anymore? Of course,I'd probably hve to shell out bigtime if I wanted to fly some Scottish popstars over to Canada to teach me snooker/cook vegetarian meal/serenade objet d'amour.Guys love teaching girls to play pool,don't they? All that grasping of pool sticks and hanky panky.Pah. What was Stuarts volunteering service anyways? Can he do french manicures? longing for you, genevieve xoxo ________________________________________________________________________ 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: Re: sinister-digest V4 #252
by ByTheSea6＠aol.com 25 Aug '00

<< I would love to stand up with Ralph Nader and say boo to the business world and, in the end, I probably will. But it will be with righteous tears in my eyes because I think that a vote for Ralph Nader is a vote for George W. Bush >> Nadar has addressed the idea of the Spoiler several times. To Nadar, the Republican and Democratic parties are so similiar at this point that he doesn't really see it making much difference who wins out of Bush and Gore. His issues are in opposition to views shared by "Bore and Gush." The concern about how Gore and Bush will vary on supreme court appointments is an exageration, so says Nadar. If Bush attempts to appoint members to the court that might overturn Roe vs. Wade, it will backfire so drastically, public outcry and mass protest will be heard so loudly, that ultimately it will never happen. I tend to agree with this. The recent debate over stem cell research highlights for us again that the majority of americans view the pro-life movement to be a block of everything from basic rights issues to issues of scientific progress. I think Nadar is saying, look you can elect Gore and the environment will continue to be mistreated at the current and dangerous rate, the global corporations will continue to press their agenda's beyond the control of all forms of regulation, etc; or you can elect Bush and things will be just as bad, probably much worse (today in the NY Times Cheney is saying how all the National Monuments and Parks that Clinton established in the West these past 8 years should be seriously reviewed for the purpose of removing their current protected status). This is the "worse of two evils," notion. What Nadar is saying is, let's send a powerful message from the Left. Nadar knows he can't win. But he does know that every major political movement in america has come from a 3rd Party influence, from the abolition movement to the civil rights movement, the two party system only opens to change when they see their own membership and popularity begin to drain towards a third party idea. This is what Nadar ultimately hopes to achieve; he hopes that by pulling 10-15% of the vote this election, he can pull the collective head from the collective ass of the democratic and republican parties. That issues like campaign finance reform and the environment getting kicked in the teeth by the WTO will stop. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: endless faff-athon (my life is an)
by Elizabeth Daplyn 25 Aug '00

25 Aug '00

Are we all happy bunnies? No? Then Ill begin anyway. As I was cycling to work in my usual desultory fashion this morning I saw something rather peculiar. At the side of Parks Road, about a third of the way along, there was a pair of trousers lying in a forlorn little heap under a tree. Is there some confused resident of Oxford wandering round right now with no trousers on? Were they thrown carelessly from the open window of a speeding automobile? Did they just appear there by themselves? If one dared to put the noxious items on, would they prove to be a portal to another universe? The answers to all these and many other questions will be fully explored in our forthcoming feature, Trousers II: The Menace of Pants. No offence to our erstwhile listee amigo Stevie, mind. At what point in ones life does one really really have to grow up? I was baking gingerbread the other day, and a friend who was visiting commented to the effect that I would make someone a great wife. Apparently sincerely, although she may just have been ripping the piss. Christ on crutches! Thats not the kind of thing you want to hear now, is it? Does anyone on the list consider themselves a grownup? Venerable David Moore? Mortgaged Casarroto? Anyone? I mean, I know (or at least think) Ive been getting slightly more sensible (gradatim, mind) as the years have rolled by in their leafy finery, but as to maturity, hmmm. Its probably me being a spoiled brat doing her first proper random temping job and getting ground by the daily peppermill. Ever notice that Delia Smith is incapable of saying the word pepper without prefixing it with freshly ground black? Just a thought. Now theres a woman who knows where her towel is. Oh, does anyone have any photos that they want rid of? Grim sunburnt holiday snaps, blurry finger-over-lens tops of trees, headless weddings, whatever. Im making an installation that requires a rather large quantity of photographs and, while my own stocks of offcuts are rather large, I could use more. Like enough to carpet a small room. So if anyone wants to become part of an exciting piece of poncy ART, hey, just let me know. Sorry for the list abuse. Ooooh, the wevvers goigeous. I hope it stays nice for gambols in Greenwich on Sunday. Ive been singing bits of Carmen all day. I hope this disturbing neurological twitch clears up soon, as its quite annoying. Tautologies: in a startling parallel with To see and to read, I found in a book of musical criticism which Im reading the following gem: Compared with [Debussy], the most abstruse compositions of Richard Strauss are as primer stories to hear and to comprehend. Which are quite different things, as anyone whos ever tried to spell Cszechoslovakia will appreciate. So it aint tautology. Which has previously been stated, but I wanted to show off my intellectual reading habits ;) The Lexicon of Musical Invective is fantastic actually, very gigglesome. Classical music critics are so rude! Mr. Prokofiev might as well have loaded up a shotgun with several thousand notes of varying lengths and discharged them against the side of a blank wall. Quite cheeky for 1921, I thought. Waaaah! Why cant the Lucksmiths put out a new record or go on tour again? Im suffering from withdrawal, despite repeated application of A Good Kind Of Nervous. Speaking of fab Australians, does anyone apart from me and some staff writer for Q have the Cardinal album? Richard Davies and Eric Matthews: the combination of slightly disturbing lyrics, peculiar tunes and mildly icky orchestration is a winner in my kitchen about teatime, let me tell you straight, ladies and gents. Matthews by himself is a wee bit directionless, although lovely, and Davies similarly is a teensy bit too challengingly skewed for the same level of listening, although top notch stuff. Curse the musical differences that drive stunning writing/performing partnerships apart! Enough waffling. Liz :x "Love without hope, as when the young birdcatcher Swept off his tall hat to the Squire's own daughter; So let the imprisoned larks escape and fly Singing about her head, as she rode by."

Sinister: the miller's tale
by Elizabeth Daplyn 25 Aug '00

25 Aug '00

Nothing to do with Peter, sadly. Instead, a few of you may remember me waffling vaguely about a piquenique- type thingy in Oxford the weekend after the Greenwich extravaganza. A few people have said they would like to come, so here we go. PLACE The University Parks are fairly central and easy to find, so that should do us, unless there are too many obnoxious frisbee-throwing summer-schoolers, in which case we can always go somewhere else. After all, there are a myriad loafing opportunities in Oxenforde Towne, as befits a studenty-bohemiany- tosspoty kinda place. C'mon everybody, stick your finger in your ear for a rousing rendition of some jazzed-up ancient folk songs. Or maybe not. However, for meeting-up purposes, the pub technique (as proposed and brilliantly executed by Miss Elenita in Camden) has no drawbacks as far as _I'm_ concerned (booze and comfy chairs), so the Firkin (which infernal chain _does_ have the drawbacks of being large and easy to spot, but these are advantages in this particular case)in Gloucester Green (right by the bus station on the below mappe for the enterprising among us) would seem to be handy for those travellers from afar. http://www.ox.ac.uk/aboutoxford/maps/mainmap.shtml TIME Mr Steve "New In Town/Carsmile" Hewitt has begged for the occasion to be on Sunday, so Sunday 3rd September it is. 2pm has always proven to be a reasonable sort of time for picnicking purposes, so 1400 hours it is. STUFF Oh, I don't know. Blood, sweat, toil _nor_ tears will prevent a football being brought, I suppose, so that's a given. Food. Oh, and vast quantities of B!O!U!Z!E! Nice to see the Paula Cullen Explosion back in town, BTW. ME ME ME Anyone wanting their hand holding from the station or whatever can ring me on 01865 728454 or 0771 3014742 (mobile which I will have with me on the dread date itself). Crikey, I feel all efficient and stuff. Tee hee. Let us eat cake!

Re: Sinister: i stand alone it seems

>all i am trying to say is look at what each man is saying, think about what >they each have to offer. hi angela. i think you have a good point about casting an educated vote. i also think that there is more than money at stake when considering a candidate. like who's values are more congruous with my own. as someone who identifies as queer, punk, *and* a feminist i want whoever i vote for to maintain reproductive rights, and fight for the rights of mine and others as we are promised within the framework of the 14th ammendment but categorically denied by law and custom. and that's a minimum. i also want to see positive attitudes towards sex industry workers, equal rights for trannies, drugs legalised, and fair treatment for people who are economically underprivleged. i just don't feel like george bush is that champion. yrs, jacob ________________________________________________________________________ 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.
