Sinister: I went to Oxford and all I got was this lousy Carsmile Steve T-shirt
by P F 24 Sep '00

Mooro had some fabulous things to say. In that a) I've been wondering where Mooro has been and how he is - I was walking the streets or provincial England only today, and found myself wondering about Mooro - but also b) he used clever phrases like 'Brockley Spears' and 'teen fans'. The thing is, I still don't understand what he was actually on about. Do you? If Mooro wants someone to talk about the Go-Betweens he knows full well that Ally96 is the man in possession. In possession of what, we're not sure, and nor is he. Still, whatever it was that Mooro was asking me to do, I'm grateful to be asked. Peter Miller also asked me about Lloyd and mothers' cars. I suppose we could go right back to scratch with '2CV' - talk about lyrical mood, melody, arrangement and all. You know, that song has been covered in London some time in the last 18 months. Covered with a tarpaulin, at times. '*Aw*ful'. I shall not go on, thanks to the abysmal character of this computer link. Do you think that Martin R might finally read what I've written, now it's as brief as a candle? _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Sinister: green to red
by Kendra M Speirs 23 Sep '00

dear sinister .... there is an unidentified liquid on this keyboard ... one i only discovered when the tips of my index fingers made contact with the f and the j. at this little green imac in the corner of a science lab ... three inches from the scale on which we weigh out heaps of toxic chemicals and just below a shelf packed with numerous brown bottles with tiny skulls and crossbones printed on their labels and long lists of the possible short and long term effects of skin contact ... i am a bit nervous. but so far, no burning or itching sensations. if you don't hear from me for awhile, you might guess what has happened. i'm off to see modest mouse at the electric factory in philly -- monday night ... if anyone in or around the area would like to join. i'm being accompanied by two argentinians and an american girl ... but would be curious and delighted to meet some fellow sinisterians. .............. it is a sheet of dark grey outside and a heavy mist ... remanents of that tropical storm from florida. all elaborate cloud patterns and shocks of lightning, intense downpours and forceful haphazard wind gusts have faded out. it is still. still and grey. until later, kendra .... love to jt, buried in another lab, in another land ... and the newest addition to sinister ... +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Chuckie's just a baby
by Kenneth P Y Chu 23 Sep '00

Hello, I am going back to nottingham tomorrow, grate! Bye bye Grey MK! I can't wait, it would also help if I have started packing too, but, I, er haven't.. hmm. carle groom said: "i suspect you've forgotten the one spot at which all gents whistle like a flock of songbirds: the gents; aka, the public urinal." Yes, but such whistling is nothing compared to the magical sound that comes out of the cubicles.. During my time at work I have spent a lot of time taking "natural breaks" in the loo, which at the start seems like an ideal way of earning extortionate wages. What I didn't know is that it comes at a price.. the kind of chilling, shivering wails of the mixture of pain and relief that comes from the other cubicles when they're performing their natural duties simply drives you insane. I am always left mentally disturbed everytime I walk out of the toilet. I do apologise if you are eating whilst reading this mail... esp if it is chocolate cream cake. then he said: "seems to have something to do with the plumbing. (please feel free to create any double/triple entendres you may like from this. i prefer being the straight banana--more or less. which also leads to even more innuendo.)" Which leads to more shocking things that I've discovered from other cubicles, but I'm not discussing it here. Slightly less grim topic now I guess... jonny five said: "i did go tooffbeat. sorry if you wore B&S clothing (yes you in the black and white IYFS t-shirt) and i didn't dare speak to you. i was too busy admiring people dancing to the state i am in (diagrams available on request)" I was of course one of the dancing queens on the dance floor, making all the kool movez, it was a shame that no one has taken up my offer to start a "slow-mo-mosh" in time to the music, I'm sure it would have been so grate and put all metallers to shame. So I only restricted myself to doing a couple of head bangs.. I didn't dare do the air trumpet. And yes, offbeat was g!r!o!o!v!y! Thank you stoo too for letting me kip on your floor/pokimon colony. :-) I have been drinking sooooooooooooooooo much vodka and red bull this week, but not too much, mind you, because you can never have too much red bull. slow moshes and red bulls!

Sinister: Trains that go bump in the night

I've just been catching up on a *huge* backlog of sinister posts, and I found this from a week ago: On Fri, 15 Sep 2000, David White wrote: > Speaking of trains, British Rail (or whatever they are called these days) > really are hopeless aren't they.

You see, I have some friend-of-a-friend inside information on this. The derailing of the train wasn't a problem. The problem was that it started moving *by itself*; when the panicking staff realised it was heading on to the main line, they derailed it deliberately. These brand spanking new trains will, therefore, have to sit around doing nothing for a year or so, whilst men with clipboards look at their brakes and go "hmmm..."

Sinister: An observation
by Brandt Fundak 23 Sep '00

Hi all. I got really drunk during happy hour on Friday night and when i got home I got lethargic and sat on my ass, watching the Olympics. Contrary to what we have heard, the stars of track and field are NOT beautiful people. Thank you. Brandt ===== "Selma, Jub Jub is fantastic!

Sinister: new SF indie club
by C Koopman 22 Sep '00

22 Sep '00

What: Club Lovely When: Wednesday, October 4th, October 18th (every two Wednesdays) Where: CoCo Club (minna alley, off of 8th, between Mission & Howard) Cost: FREE on October 4th ** Attention! This is an open invitation to any and all discerning Indie Pop enthusiasts who are as disenchanted as we are with the current state of Pop club options in the bay area. We invite you to check out what we consider long awaited & much overdue Indie Pop salvation for SF. Club Lovely comes to San Francisco on Wednesday October 4th. What you'll hear at Lovely is everything you don't at other supposed 'pop scene' clubs. You'll experience an eclectic infectious Pop mix representing each era, genre, and region. Club Lovely will be free on the first night, October 4th. We realize that many of you may be attending the Le Tigre show that night but we encourage you to stop by anyway, before or after. No cover charge! If you end up working those dancing shoes a little too hard at the show, we understand. Luckily Lovely takes place every two weeks, so you can head back on the 18th for your bi-weekly dose of refreshing Pop bliss. ** Music: belle and sebastian, magnetic fields (and all things Stephin Merritt), looper, field mice, blueboy (and plenty more Sarah artists), lucksmiths, heavenly, lilys, boyracer, the smiths, rocketship, holiday, kahimi karie, jacques dutronc, new order, joy division, orange juice, pulp, divine comedy, momus, the free design, saint etienne, april march, jane birkin, stereolab, clientele, felt, the pastels, le mans, trembling blue stars, suede, orlando, rialto, the minders, apples in stereo, takako minekawa, toulouse, fantastic plastic machine, the aluminum group, jacques brel, serge gainsbourg, comet gain, whistler, hefner, blur, charlatans, stone roses, henry's dress, dylan, beatles, them, james, inspiral carpets, echo & the bunnymen, ride, chapterhouse, revolver... just to name a few. We know that there are others out there that want a night like this as badly as we do. After all, we started this club so we could hear the music we like, the music we always wanted popscene to play but they never would. We'd love for you to come out, dance, drink (if you'd like) and just enjoy hearing great Indie/Twee/Brit/French/Jap Pop in a comfortable environment with a bunch of like-minded people who share the same appreciation. So join us and show some support for a couple of kids trying to bring back what the bay area once had: An enjoyable, and more importantly, sincere Indie Pop experience in the tradition of Be My Ambulance and of course all the great indie clubs from northern England. Also, be sure to check out Modular Lab which takes place at the CoCo Club on the opposite Wednesdays of Lovely (Lovely on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday, Modular Lab on the 2nd and 4th). ** email to: club_lovely(a)hotpop.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Obscure Children's Television
by Colin Ferguson 22 Sep '00

22 Sep '00

I warn you now that this post has *ZERO* B&S content. Amongt my friends, one of the main topics for conversation is on kid's TV programmes. Everyone remembers Mister Men, Button Moon, the Magic Roundabout etc., but i have become convinced that Portland Bill, Orm & Cheep and Jamie's Magic Torch were all broadcast directly to my house, and to no one else. I may be tempted to believe that I only imagined these programmes, save from the fact that i have an old Portland Bill jumper, and and Orm & Cheep video. Orm and Cheep is by far my favourite kids TV programme ever. Basically, it's aobut Orm, a snail, and Cheep (duh), a baby bird. If anyone remembers these programmes, please post or mail, and we can discuss the delights of alternative kid's TV. Bye PS. My brother's just dyed his hair purple, and it's really rather funny. -- Colin +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Toe Jam and Parties!!
by karastar＠chickmail.com 22 Sep '00

22 Sep '00

Good Morning! How nice to see that I wasn't the only sad sad person excited over FFVII. (Of course FFIX is coming out soon!) But who are these characters you're refering to? I enjoy making up my own names for them whenever possible. I had Big Bob, Sparkle, Toe Tounge.... It makes the game just that little bit more exciting. In fact, I was very disapointed FFVIII didn't allow you to name your characters. ---- And not all Americans are complete idiots when it comes to geography. Tasmania is somewhere next to Albania, Lithuania, Monomania? No, not really. They did a segment on Tasmania on Good Morning America the other day. I know because I watched it. I usually don't watch Good Morning TV as it has the effect of 5 More Minutes Sleep TV. I find a cup (or two) of coffee is more effective and less harsh on the stomach. ---- Youn, I read your post. Then I searched the archives (!) and read Alisa's post. And THEN I went back to read your post again, but I as I started, all of the words came sliding down the screen and cluttered up my desk. Well, I swept them all up and I'm keeping them safe in my pocket to set to my melencholic guitar strummings. I've always sort of pictured Stuart singing the first verses of "Slow Graffitti" in a white wedding dress gazing longingly at a picture of someone in a ruffed collar. Kind of a Miss Havisham thing. I suppose I must go and read the book, "Dorian Gray". Just when I was in the middle of "Severed Head" by Iris Murdoch. Who's read it? Hands? Anyone? Don't tell me how it ends. ---- Janne, I don't know you at all, but good luck in the military. I was living in Norway this past summer and my, oh my, do those scandinavian boys look nice in their uniforms. xxx Kara "I may not be an anarchist that doesn't mean I won't burn down buildings with you." --The Butterflies of Love ******************************** www.chickclick.com Sign up for free email. http://chickmail.chickclick.com Win free stuff! http://contests.chickclick.com ******************************** +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
