Sinister: these tarpaulins, as they were called, seemed a strange and half-savage race
by Erica MacArthur 26 Jan '01

26 Jan '01

Dear Sinister, you might remember me, I used to post here a little while ago. In fact, I used to have the kind of presence that Jenowl now commands in her own special way. I used to have pink tights & the perks of rural living & gin, she's got rainbow tights & Ribena & a frequent kicking. I still try to keep up with you, so far as I can (bear). These days I'm more indie-dirtying than Indie Darling. Today, I find myself wincing slightly at the mention of Tompaulin. It takes me back to last October. This Tarpaulin outfit played the Scalarama event on a rainy Saturday in Kings Cross. This event had been hijacked and re-named Erica's Birthday Party. So, effectively, Tarpaulin played at my birthday party. They are not terrible, more so...what someone expects for that kind of thing; the usual low-key clattertwang din. Like Kicker, Sportique, or any other band Rachel Stevenson mentions in her internet diary. The next day, as I dabbed at the stains on my navy day jacket with Vanish, a hungover head and a toothache prevailing, the good-looking young man lying in my bed points out that Tarpaulin have been tooted The Best New Band In Britain by overweight Indie mongrel Ben Clancy. There are mentions of the words 'soulful' and 'lively' in his article on them in the programme to the event. I gave up with the Vanish and furiously batted at the jacket with a wire brush. I rip the programme to shreds and declare my birthday ruined. Now they're being played on Radio One, and I'm still not famous for doing nothing. Blast. I was recently ejected from a last-call of models for a photoshoot of antique clothing for a Japanese magazine because I was considered "too sexy" I went out last night to see a French band called Phoenix with that dandy and do-gooder Nicolas Horne. Phoenix have good French synth solos and bad French hair. At time of press, I owe Nicolas perhaps five glasses of wine. Alex from Baxendale was in attendance, and I can give you the latest scoop from the Bax 24-hour Mini-massive: Baxendale will collaborate with Puff Daddy, Britney Spears, Lil Kim and Belle and Sebastian in their forthcoming track GHETTO FABULOUS. Pinefox wondered where the Blur fans on this list had gone of late. I've got my dirty hands on the latest underground Blur demo. The heighlight is provided by Damon singing 'I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts' in a Ragga style, with Shaznay from All Saints guesting on percussion by repeatedly slapping Damon's bare bottom with a pilchard. Pamela Tait's got a soft spot for Fred Durst. Is is the way he thrusts his tiny combat-clad penis at the camera in the video for Rollin'? http://www.groupiecentral.com/gossiplimpbizkit.html That's enough for now, you lameo James fans. Erica x P.s Faux-Fur is for Pussies. http://welcome.to/houseofscarlet +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: the walk of a peacock, the crimson of grey matter, & JenOwl gets stoned.
by Dante Dethrone 26 Jan '01

26 Jan '01

salutations, well, and what about the 'peacock thingy'? it seems to me Mr David is merely indulging himself in the little sport of reinvention. and what's wrong with the occasional reinventing of one's self? sure, certain people might find it queer, but if he were to remain the same, and put out the same pile day in and day out as if to please his brother or sister, he might just get bored. i encourage everyone to refrain from neglecting themselves. vent if you gotta ... curse if you wanna ... *disclaimer: er, this isn't really my opinion; it's more of an insomniacal vantage from my current state of mind. that is, i might think differently tomorrow. what about yourself? as i've implied, i haven't slept for quite some time now. i'm not sure how long it's been, nor do i really care, and i doubt that you really care either, but at this moment the fluid between my skull and my brain seems to be exuding with a magnetic tickling sensation. although i like it way much, i wonder to myself, 'hmm ... my brain bleeding?' i can stare at the wallpaper and watch the flowers lean side to side; and with the slightest bit of concentration they begin to meander in an upward climb of the vine they're drawn against. i suspect that it's got a lot to do with the old LSD excursions, well, i know it does. i no longer do drugs, but apparently they still do me. *JenOwl wrote: "But this is how I figured I'm damned ........ I went through the crowd, and they all started jeering and spitting at me, and throwing stones and chips and things at me, until I was well clear. And the Jesus man just laughed and watched, then started talking again. He didn't say anything like, 'Jesus wouldn't be too pleased if you threw things and spat on someone.' He just laughed and went right on talking about the apostles and how bluddy grate they were all supposed to be." i wonder what she was wearing. nevermind that. this passage from the book of JenOwl reminds me of old times. when i used to walk the halls of high school between rows of hissing self-proclaimed christians, i saw clearly. when i used to rise up from the ground after getting beaten to a bloody pulp, i heard God. when the major cliques of the schoolyard drug my name through the mud, i emerged clean. i doubt Jesus is neither pleased nor displeased with such people. i doubt he even knows of them. anywayz, i'm looking forward to chatting with some of you soon ... once i gather the nerve to log on. i'll probably have a s/n with color in it. ex: pink_lip, purple_punch, dead_red, white_dyke, orange_porn, green_gulliver, violet_fuck-up ... you get the idea. later peepz.

Sinister: Tompaulin were on radio 1 yesterday, yes they were
by Mark Casarotto 26 Jan '01

26 Jan '01

Go on, then. I see Pinefox's regular-as-cockwork posts as a subliminal message for me to post more often. No, I do! So, I will. Well, I may. The re-emergence of the Archel and the continued dominance of the JenOwl means that I'll have to right some pretty top-hole material, but hey. I can do it. I haven't listened to Belle and Sebastian in a month or so, but they're still there. So is Dame Maggie F, who I seem to have converted an alarming number of people to recently. My head is currently awash with bits and bobs of songs I hadn't really liked before from 69 L*** S***s, Lucy's wallflowers which bloomed spectacularly on the night. I'm looking forward to re-living the two night of the concert in the comfort of my own home. Not too soon, mind. Ms Alder managed to get a huge response just by talking, indirectly, about tits. I wonder if talking about John Thomases would have the same kind of reaction? I was utterly thrilled to discover that recent research has proved that Brazilian men have penises on average over 2 centimetres longer than American men. 2 centimetres! And Brazilians aren't particularly large, either. So I've heard. Unlike Italians :-) I think I need to wash my hands.

Sinister: The Day of Atonement...
by Walkn10＠aol.com 26 Jan '01

26 Jan '01

Ladies and Gentlemen, In a mere 65 odd hours from this time, the Great American Sporting Event known as the SUPER BOWL will take place in Tampa Bay, Florida. It is not your average Super Bowl, however, for the BALTIMORE RAVENS are to be playing against the lame-ass new york giants (all lowercase, mind you). The Great Metropolis of the World against the city that ranks first only in cases of HIV, STDs, number of heroin addicts and murder rate. Yes, we as a community are quite despicable, but the BALTIMORE RAVENS will help us rise above that and plant a foot firmly up the arse of everything NYC stands for, namely, class, money and culture. It will be a titanic struggle for supremecy, and I urge everyone, everywhere to tune and watch it (even if its just for the commercials). It shall be sweet, and New Yorkers...you have been warned. I've been keeping my distance from a certain girl for whom I pined away quite visibly for (but who decided she'd rather be alone) and I have started to get my mojo working again. I don't feel all shitty or want to get drunk everytime I think of her now, and I was quite happy that I could finally say to her everything that I had been planning for months. Then, I saw a picture of her on a friend's wall tonight and all those urges to make hot, sloppy, passionate, toe-curling, back-scratching, love to her on the beach at dawn came back tenfold. Its basically been reduced to a physical attraction, but Ye Gads! it is enough to move the mountains. She more or less said she feels the exact same way (physical attraction, not much else there) so I'm hoping one night when we've had a little too much to drink and are left to our own devices........ I've decided to pimp it up this SUPER BOWL SUNDAY, but worse come to worse, I've got a nice little bottle of Southern Comfort to soothe the wounds of being ignored. We'll see what happens... I think I've had a little too much to drink...oh yeah, I turned 21 last Saturday so thats pretty much been the case this whole week. God bless Italians with beautiful breasts... Droppin' bombs on your moms...

Sinister: if you're looking for a way out
by kerry 26 Jan '01

26 Jan '01

hello sinister i've decided to come out of hiding for several reasons. reason #1: if i may be so bold, i'd like to say that "swing your cock around" is hilarious. thank you, mark waudby. i had my own addition earlier today, but i forgot it. all i can come up with is "screwing other people," which really isn't that clever, now is it? there's always "you made me forget my panties," which isn't so great, either. sorry. how about "if you're feeling my sister"? the problem is, so many of them are dirty out of context already. case in point: the boy with the arab strap, don't leave the light on, baby, me and the major (or, as once misheard, "me and the midget), seeing other people, judy is a dick slap, and the list goes on and on and on and on . . . and you can only insert "wanking" into so many before it gets old. reason #2: i'm so disillusioned. do you want to know why i'm disillusioned? because i saw a chrysler ad tonight playing the jesus and mary chain's "happy when it rains". bah, that sucks. reason #3: tonight while walking my dog (why does this always make me want to post?) i decided to wear my nifty faux fur coat and since the only shoes by the door were my platform boots, i wore those, too. so what could i listen to but gary glitter "do you wanna touch me there," which has a perfect glam R!A!W!K! beat for walking in platform boots while wearing a faux fur coat. but then, oh then, i forgot that the next song on my mp3 player is tindersticks "if you're looking for a way out" which was bad enough being so depressing (yet so good, i couldn't skip through it), but it made me miss school. well, it made me miss driving from western massachusetts to philadelphia via the bronx because the last time i did that i was stuck in this nasty nasty traffic and that song (actually, that whole album) played while i sat in my car, occasionally creeping forward a few yards. so that made me miss my friend steve, from school. you see, some time before that steve had a tumultuous relationship with a girl who worked in the aquatic birds area of the bronx zoo. so, sitting in my car, listening to sad love songs, right next to the exit for the zoo, i was about 3 micrometers away from getting off the highway, finding the zoo, and kicking her ass for being so mean to him. so i wanted to post to sinister to vent. so now i have. reason #4: i'm happy, because people i work with like belle and sebastian. the only problem is, they have no clue what i'm talking about when i say "twattybus," because they're not on sinister, and i forget that sometimes. so then i feel awkward and dumb and that's really too bad. and i'm mad at the NME (am i the only person who realizes that if you say "NME" fast enough it sounds like "enemy"? i've been meaning to mention that to somebody somewhere for years) for making remarks about belle and sebastian not having put out an album in a long time. what?!?! was i dreaming when they put out FYHCYWLAP last spring? did i sleep for several years or something? ahhhhhh, fuck 'em. here's a joke: a man and a woman are at a party, having a nice conversation. somehow the conversation turns to beekeeping. the man says "oh, i keep bees." the woman says "really? where do you keep them?" "in my apartment," he says. "in your apartment?" the woman says, astonished. "where do you keep them in your apartment? you were just saying that you live in some cramped studio in manhattan." "i keep them in my closet," the man says. "in your closet?! that can't be good for the bees," the woman says. so, the man responds: "fuck 'em, i hate bees." i love that joke. and even without the joke, this post took me well over 15 minutes to write. oh, and last but not least, i love you honey, for being so good at everything. you've made me forget my dreams, for at least a little while, -kerry -- "`Cos in my sleep I still clench my teeth I'm at my strongest only when I'm weak" -tindersticks, "piano song." +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: burned
by Genevieve Wesley 26 Jan '01

26 Jan '01

Ohhh...haven't posted in ages, and then I post twice in a row! I'm very angry, as I went to the Dunvegan and was carded by man in a golf hat on a power trip. Oh, it's not like it was the 200th anniversary of his birthday or anything! I imagaine all the fantastical events that are happening at this moment, and I feel left out. At least the tiny little Irish pub took us in, and at least I could drink. The last post I just read was debasting about the art of flirting vs natural born talent. I guess it should be so smooth you do not even know you are being flirted, although it is a nice, flattering touch if they are sad artists who cry out they must paint you. It is so easy to be a sucker in that case! The other thing I wonder is, do some people have natural born freak magnets or does it just happen that way? I've had underwear stolen, been hit in the head with a porn magazine, chased on lots of bike, forced reading of Paris Match, all by strangers, and for why, I wonder? How do they know you are acceptable of the weirdness? Belle and Sebastian Content: The weird man I do want to chase me is Peacock Johnson, alias Stuart David. But he reamins hidden from me, always. Is he going to do a book tour? xxx genevieve _________________________________________________________________________ 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: titillating? oh yes, very...
by Rinaldo Thatchez 26 Jan '01

26 Jan '01

Ms. Morrison, that subject line is for you. Obligatory semi-relevant content: 'Talking dirty for a hobby that's alright', but some people make a pretty good living that way. When I first heard that song I misheard harpy for hobby. Works pretty well either way, don't you think? Jen at the Disc Go Round said: I have a question I'd like to pose to everyone, and all responses would be appreciated: is flirting a talent one must be born with, or an art form one can learn? Perhaps this will seem a clichéd answer but I think comparing it to an art is quite apt. I think some people are born with it and some not. Those who are not blessed with the talent can become skilled but will never be as good as those who are, while there is a particularly unfortunate subset of the human race that will remain forever tone deaf (switching from art to music now, mixing metaphors is IN for 2001). Like artists though, there are some that are overly blessed, so much so that they cannot help but create (or be suggestive, are you listening Ms. Morrision?) with their every move and word. This can sometimes be a detriment to the rest of their lives, flirting savants who have no control over their virtuosity at stirring the libidos of those around them. A most enviable tragedy. By the by now, Jen you are not alone in the ranks of American Northwesterners as Miss Kittenmouse resides in Portland and I myself am writing from Seattle. So that's 3 already! And Mr. Neil growing a beard for no apparent reason. I've grown a few in my time and they have all been for a reason. I've done it to experiment with being less attractive, because I couldn't get at any hot water or, a few times, the ever-popular and very telling Just-Broke-Up-With-My-Girlfriend Beard. The funny thing was when I once kept a beard for four months after an equal length relationship which was twice how long I wore it following a two-year relationship. Behavior is psychology, listen to your beard, it is trying to tell you something. So, that is the extent of my wisdom, but before I go I'll share a story about the time that I was working at a hotel in Devon and a large work party came and I wound up getting nekkid with them in the sauna and how much it impressed me that the British, traditionally thought of as so reserved, were so uninhibited and how the work retreat I am going on tomorrow probably has no such potential because Americans, let's face it, are prudes. I'll probably be the only one to get properly drunk even. miss me, rinaldo _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Nick Drake smoking on the front of the boxset is Duffle-coat-tastic.
by Iain Radcliffe 25 Jan '01

25 Jan '01

Hello. I spent a good portion of tonight exercising my CD burner by copying all the Nick Drake albums for a lovely girl I know. And not only because I want her to succumb to my (dubious) charms, but because she's also grate, loves B&S and more people should hear the wondrous Monsieur D. I had the Session In Scotland on at the same time, and everyone was being oh so cool as usual. I read FB's post about the Manics just as their new song came on. I thought it rather pish on first listen I must say. Thought they were meant to be returning to their ace punky B-side sound of yore, but it sounded like a bad Xmas record (TOO MUCH REVERB). Well that's got feck all to do with B&S, but then what does at the mo? (If anyone has a spare Manics ticket for the Barras, tuesday, then I'd be delighted. They were sold out when I rang. boo hoo hoo.) And then I'd made it to arch(ang)el's post about that Indian/Scottish song by thingymigig. And that came on the radio! It's quite nice and you can hear Struan's vulnerable choirboy tones floating above the hypnotic backing! Ooer. JenOwl was on about Gregory's Girl, which is tops. It was on that 1981 programme at the weekend. I like the chef guy in it, and Claire Grogan is infitely preferable to the rather aloof Dee Hepburn. And Happy Birthday is a bluddy grate P!O!P! moment. As is Kids in America (Woah Oh!) Dangermouse was a tremendous nostalgia moment as well. I looked at said Ms Owl's website and it's dead funny. I was merrily quaffing Ribena and wearing my duffel coat this week when I went to my first council meeting. Most of the councillors are old and mokeish and one 40 something woman started flirting with me saying "Oh what a handsome young man." Filthy old slattern. So I gave her my card. Did anyone else notice under Heather's Weather on Reporting Scotland, it said Burn's night. What a glaring error! Robert Burn! I don't think. (Get a life, Iain) See yis later, aye. fuckin' eccies 'n' that (A Gadjee) Iain xxx _________________________________________________________________________ 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.
