Sinister: Get bees away from here, they're flying
by Kenneth P Y Chu 16 Jan '01

16 Jan '01

Hi, Lovely, I had an interview for a job, but they want it on the day of my exam, so I can't do it, and it's now going to be rescheduled for the God knows Whenth day of 2001. Probably won't get one now... grr. But all that talk of sadness isn't good you know, what all of you sobbing people need to do is to listen to Mr Tambourine Man, preferably the Bob Dylan original version. I just realised how much I liked that song when I listened to it, and it made me forget about the day, until tomorrow. And write more *lovely* Sinister emails about what you had for breakfast, while listening to B&S and then feel better because of it. This morning I listened to "The State I'm in" and I'm feeling happy again. Well I've done ok for my first exam, only messed up one small bit of it I think, so I'm happy. 3 more exams to go, more revision... but then, revision can be good sometimes. A bit like when I was reading the Sinister FAQ, it was very long, but it made me know more about our lovely mailing list afterwards. If you haven't read it yet you should, it a little gem. http://www.missprint.org/sinister/faq.html It's extra nice when you listen to 3.. 6.. 9 seconds of light whilst reading that, it reminds me that this list is Beautiful, only slightly mental :) Hehe that was a rubbish way of getting list contents into my post. Hmmmmm better go back to do more revision now, good luck everyone else who has exams, if you have finished your exams already, grrrr, but well done anyway for getting through it. :) So, in summary, listen to Mr Tambourine Man, The State I'm in, and 369 seconds of light EP, oh and listen to some Terrorvision as well just for the sake of it :) Music and Red Bulls Ken ====================================================================== Oooh get me away from here, I'm dying. Sing me a song to set me free, nobody writes them like they used to so it may as well be me. - Belle & Sebastian +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: A quickie
by idleberry 16 Jan '01

16 Jan '01

Travis are better than Belle And Sebastian cos they tour and B+S don't and that's really crap. Come on, I mean, if this were a uni course (which its not) I would have to give B+S ten out of ten top bananas for doing the work, handing in the essays and stuff, but as for the class presentation and attendance? YOU FAIL! So if you don't mind, I'm switching allegiance, although Travis' music is crap, Fran is quite cute, actually, and lets think about it this way: I have been a B+S fan for nearly two years. In that time I could have had a baby, called him Haakon (My current fave name for having a baby boy.. something to do with it being a traditional viking Norwegian name for kingly types, plus, it sounds way cool) and sent him to some sort of nursery school. Even Elastica have released another thing in that time. (sort of). Angel has become a TV series spin off. My brother has left school, taken a gap year and is now at uni. I've erm... done stuff. B+S have done... well, albums.. fair enough... and work for other interesting things... fair enough.... but no gigs. Travis, meanwhile, did loads of gigs without me having to get irrate about it and post things on lists saying "Why haven't they done a tour?" they just got on with it and did it. So, I'm going to try and force myself to stomach a bit of Travis, and be a spy in sinister, and say things like "B+S are crap, travis are much better" etc etc. Or maybe I'll go one step further and return to my Drum n Bass thing. Or perhaps think about being a more committed.. fan... of...other stuff I like, rather than waste my time waiting for B+S to tour. I'm bored, gimme a show. pleeease?

Sinister: ...forget my dreams... remember the first time...
by Rachel Playforth 16 Jan '01

16 Jan '01

Q. what's the difference between job applications and sinister? A. sinister doesn't ask you FUCKING STUPID questions like 'list 3 skills which would help you do this job.' that question made my mind go immediately blank. this company processes VAT rebate claims. how do any of my attributes fit in to that? i don't think they want to hear about my knitting. and is it a skill, as such, to be able to file things in alphabetical order? and so it is that sinister has my jittery attention ce soir. (i have discovered that i am suffering from what zen buddhists call 'monkey mind'. this basically means that i can't sit down to write meaningful, beautiful poetry for more than 10 mins before i need to make a cup of tea/phone my beloved/check my email/list all b&s songs in alphabetical order...) paul said that he gets free coke at his new job. i reckon my EVIL employers would get a lot more out of people if they gave out subsidised drugs... one of the supervisors downs barbituates all day but she has narcolepsy. i never met anyone else in real life who had narcolepsy - river phoenix in my own private idaho carried it off a lot more sexily than she does, to be honest. i was thinking the best way to get contributions to my webzine off sinisterines would be to run it as a competition. there seems to be a certain glory-hunting spirit amongst us... so whoever sends me the best poem/story/review will not only receive the international fame that automatically accompanies publication in buzzwords, but also huge p-r-o-p-s on the list and a goody bag full of my unwanted xmas presents. currently in the lead and laying down the gauntlet to veteran wordsmith alasdair cook is greg... tune in next week for more exciting literary deathmatches. yesterday i found my housemate in the kitchen carefully listening to tigermilk, which i'd left lying around. made me smile. i should really return the favour by trying to get into her music taste - modern jazz and klezma (traditional jewish music)... i think i have a real problem listening to music without words for very long. last night i tried an experiment and listened to some beethoven cello sonatas while reading danish philosophy. (no, i really did.) but then i couldn't get to sleep because i was worrying about the influence of kant's categorical imperative on kierkegaard's thought... that kind of thing can really stress a girl out. then i had a dream about my (other) housemate cutting my hair... this is odd because *she* dreamed about cutting my hair a few nights ago... i can't help thinking of samson and delilah and how maybe my spiritual strength resides in my hair... and her cutting it has something to do with her going out with my ex-soulmate (is this an oxymoron?) and plunging me into depression... or not. yours in middle class, shallow angst, archel xxx *************************************** Rachel Playforth 'She may not be famous, but she's right' - Homer Simpson For the best in new writing on the web, visit www.buzzwords.org.uk Contact us on buzzwords(a)bigfoot.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Poetry Parrot.
by Ahab0125＠aol.com 16 Jan '01

16 Jan '01

Well, A Llew sent me a parrot which I would like to dispatch (in either sense of the word) as quickly as possible, so: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------- Eyes Fastened with Pins How much death works, No one knows what a long Day he puts in. The little Wife always alone Ironing death's laundry. The beautiful daughters Setting death's supper table. The neighbors playing Pinochle in the backyard Or just sitting on the steps Drinking beer. Death, Meanwhile, in a strange Part of town looking for Someone with a bad cough, But the address is somehow wrong, Even death can't figure it out Among all the locked doors... And the rain beginning to fall. Long windy night ahead. Death with not even a newspaper To cover his head, not even A dime to call the one pining away, Undressing slowly, sleepily, And stretching naked On death's side of the bed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------- The author, Charles Simic, was born in 1938, and currently teaches American literature and creative writing at the University of New Hampshire, which is in New Hampshire. The parrot, however, is now on its way to Scotland where it will demand a poem from JenOwl.

Sinister: Yay, I'm back
by Marshall Tindall 15 Jan '01

15 Jan '01

After 8 months of not being on the list and after barely any time out of the nursery I once again can enjoy the wonderful world of Sinister. Uuuum, since I didn't get to comment on it before Fold Your Hands Child was a really great album and I also got Looper's album. It hasn't left my CD player for weeks. Any way, glad to be back, although no one probably remembers me.

Sinister: Kev Lies Near At Hand
by P F 15 Jan '01

15 Jan '01

I've been out there for a while. Knitwear is very important. That's what I heard. And I do in part believe. The boy 96 (it's a boy) was enigmatic about May, scarlet, free things, unfree things for all I know. He is the list's greatest enigmatist. Where does Poland come in? I just can't work it out. The geezer Miller said that he'd been hoping to make manual alterations to Tom Waits stickers. And I really wish he'd had a pen on him. Edna Welthorpe remarked that only Americans can make numbers romantic. And I have to hand it to her again. What? The palm. Mind you, my maths teacher was Nigerian, and was in love with mathematics. Is that the same as finding numbers romantic? It's a ballpark figure. (Speaking of which: Murder! Tonight! In Maryon Park! Because exclamation marks, which I have a sudden inkling my father used to call 'crash signs', beat mere commas.) She (Edna, Mrs) also remarked that "Kill Uncle" was underrated. Is this true? One wants to pick perhaps three songs as evidence, no, make it four: Sing Your Life / Mute Witness (which I first heard, and was stunned by, on a Welthorpe party tape all of 3.5 years ago. We go back, you know. Where to? Oh, her place or mine) / Driving Your Girlfriend Home / and that cover of I'm The Last Of The Family Line, by Roland Barthes. As for Matthew Rose - one question. Where will you go when it's over? _________________________________________________________________________ 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.
