Sinister: Oingy Boingy
by Christina McDermott 20 Oct '01

20 Oct '01

Hello there again my little jelly-bean delights, First of all, thank you Mr. Carsmile for telling me that it was the Sultans of Ping (who I *do* remember by the way, I just don't remember them doing that particular song) who sang the fabulous song involving the lyrics "Went to the disco/bumper to bumper/wait a minute/where's me jumper?" As for the other band you mentioned...sorry dear. Never heard of them. This means that you're either getting old or I'm ignorant. Choose to believe whatever suits you best. Peetsketch Steve said:- "So PhotoJenny's down here too now? Seeing as I missed the Manc picnic I'll have to catch up with you next time we're both out with the cool set in London and we can reminiss (sp?) about the old days oop north..." Aye, I'm here now, and a lot of fun I'm having too. Went to see the Trembling Blue Stars at the Spitz last night with the Popkitten and they were so sweet. They played loads of old Field Mice songs too, like "Where'd you learn to kiss that way?" which was just sheer loveliness. Me and the Popkitten just kept looking at each other and going "Awwwwwwwww!" especially when they played "Never loved you more" which is my favourite song. I felt a little tear prick my eye when Bobby sang that, but then again I always do when I'm listening to the Trembling Blue Stars. They're just sheer loveliness and always remind me of being 14 when I would just play their first album "Her Handwriting" over and over again. *sigh* Anyway, yes *regains her composure* Now I'm in London, I still want to regain my capacity as a picnic mummy extraordinaire and the Hatchback (i.e. Danson-Hatcher) wants to be the Picnic Daddy seeing as he's crashing at my place at the moment. I had a thought that we should probably so it on 18th November which would be super-ace as it's a Sunday and also my birthday's on the 15th so it could kind of be a birthday picnic for me :-) Also the wonderful Track and Field disco night is on at Betsy Trotwood on the 16th I think (or so I have been told). I went there last night and it was wonderful. I danced me socks off! They played the Loves too who are wonderful, and I'm going to see them this week too-yippee! Unfortunately it took me two hours to get home from the place, but it was cool as I found the most wonderful taxi rank in the world where I played pool and discussed how wonderful it would be if some wise person invented Mr. T bus stops which told you where to go and shouted at you if you wanted to go to the airport *giggle* Anyway, yes. The picnic could be at Primrose Hill which is a fantastic place where you can see the whole of London from the very top and also we'd be near London Zoo and we could see all the lovely animals. Belle the doggy could come too and run about the hill and chase sticks and we could feed her chocolate. It would be so much fun! Anyone else agree, or is this just a me and the boy thing? Peetsketch Steve, we could meet then and discuss the good old days up North, where you can buy Greggs pasties and chip butties and Dandelion and Burdock and everybody puts ferrets down their trousers and says "Eeeeyy up" and has outside toilets (or so I've told lots of Americans here :-) ) As for the mix tape battle-wa-ha-haaarrr....I'm in the running now with Mr. Pez. Our team may be strong, but our spirit and our puns will prevail! Seeing as we're named after sweeties, I am no longer Miss Jenni, but Cay Cola-Cube instead which I think is a wicked name to have as cola cubes are ace. I was thinking of being Cay Cherry-Drop, but I think Cay Cola-Cube scans better in the long run. Anyway...time for me to go and find the boy and save him from the evil monster lurking in the sink. Love and oingy-boingy's Cay Cola-Cube xXx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: If Hotmail were a horse...
by steve peet 20 Oct '01

20 Oct '01

Hey there Kitties It's been a while. I HATE Hotmail. I think it's about time I sorted some proper email out. I was looking forward to the Dundee picnic, which is today, but I can't go to Scotland 'till next weekend. Still, I could be dreaming... Hope you're all having fun up there? I've been ill these last few days, and though I'm not coughing up blood anymore it still seems like a good excuse to have a lazy arse weekend. My flatmates are out and I've the place to myself to enjoy and recuperate(sp?)in. Some good tunes on the stereo instead of the usual dance bollocks, time to read through all those posts, a good chat in #sinister... what more could you want! Actually after reading JohaN's post I was thinkig maybe I should make like my brother and emigrate to South Africa. I'm jealous of you enjoying the sun amongst the beautiful Cape-Dutch architecture, and yes, I've been to Potch too, or through it at least! It'd sure be a step up from another wet winter in Staines, but then I guess I'd be even further from the one's I love... I went to see the Cowboy Junkies last night. Probably not the wisest move given my current condition, but still worth it. And I went climbing again for the first time in ages last week, I'd forgotten how good that felt. So PhotoJenny's down here too now? Seeing as I missed the Manc picnic I'll have to catch up with you next time we're both out with the cool set in London and we can reminiss (sp?) about the old days oop north... And Lisa and Lee (how you doing btw?) sounds like you had a great time at the sinister (in more ways than one!) wedding! Hehe. Tim, Nic McCabe would be in my top 10 too. A genius with six strings. I finally found out what DDR is the other day. Hehe!! You should see the Westside boys getting jiggy with it in the bowling place near Staines. Enough to put even you off for life Ken. Well, although I'll still be waking up alone in my bed in the morning, the spell can still be broken by the sound of keys scraping in the lock... Anton's back from the river, and I guess I'll have to share this space again. Time to weigh up that old antibiotics and alcohol conundrum again... Speak to you again soon PeetSketchSteve just "some bloke in a cardigan" _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: you know that i love you!
by Astrid Wiezell 20 Oct '01

20 Oct '01

Hello hey sweeties! YES, I´m back, more confused and with more stupid spellingmistakes than ever! "It may be silly, but I do it anyway". I´m listening to a really grate popsong called Some days are made for smoking. Even though I don´t smoke, never tried smoking and won´t ever start smoking, I can relate to it. It´s really good. Oh yes. This week has been quite good, I´ve actually understood something in Maths. I mean, I´ve been in the "best mathsgroup" since I started my school, but It´s like... About two years ago, I started not to understand what the teacher was all about, I didn´t get a thing and haven´t since then, but now I´m really starting to feel good about it again, and I do understand it now. I feel so CLEVER again, and it certainly is a good feeling. Speaking of mixtapes; I´m making one for Tom a.k.a Corduroy Boy and he asked me to put good swedish music that I like in it. I do not know how to react to it. I can´t decide it it feels lovely and like a grate amount of fun and thinking about what he might like and what would be good is nice, or if I just have major angst. I do think the first, I think about it all the time. I really do, and I´ve have some grate songs to put on it. Just hope he likes it! I´m making a short movie for my mediaclass together with my long-time friend Anna who copies me loads with everything I do, a screamy girl called Moa who is fun to be with, a stupid girl called Linda who I don´t really know, but I know she reads very slowly and always laughs in a very weird way, and with a so so so so sweet boy named Oscar, he´s so shy and cute that you just want to hug him. He has the lead part in our movie. I love our movie, but we are just in writing the manuscriptpart of it all. But It´s going ot be really good. Well, at least according to me. I´m making a bag in our.. er.. oh I can´t say it in english.. class where we knit and make stuff and clothes and bags and all that kind of things. Sod it. Anyway, my bag that I´m making is striped and looks really nice. I´m going ot make a little red print in one of the corners. I couldn´t decide if letting it say Astrid or B&S, but I chose Astrid. Oh, by the way, I checked in the sinister photogallery, and the Astrid there is NOT me, nope. So, I´m not a bluehaired girl. I´m a brownhaired swedish girl. Yup. When people say they like your posts, I get so happy. I really do. Sinister is more than some usual mailing list. I try to read all of the posts that I get, but I don´t have the time always, which is just sad, I love to read sinister posts. I love sinister! And I love you lot! My band and I are becoming really close now. It´s lovely, they are not forcing me to play punk. We have one kind-of-punk-song which is called Acthung Bitte. It´s hilarious! BUt we are working on a song that I´ve written and I´ve out music to it as well. I feel like a real musician, hee hee. Oh yes, I know I´m silly but I´m just 15! I only sing things that are true... Yes, I AM quoting again. Tonight I´m going to stay in, I don´t feel like going out at all, and that´s why I´m being the best kid in the world and going over to my grandma to watch a video with her and eat sweets and drink lemonade. She´s so kool, and really smart. Old people can be so nice to hang ou with sometimes. Tomorrow I´m being cultural with my friend Marika and going to a museum to watch an exhibition, and walk around in Stockholm. In the eveing, our band are celebrating our one month anniversary, and we were planning to inviting some people and get drunk, but since 1/3 of the band can´t make it, we have to celebrate next friday instead. so the other 2/3 of the band are going to watch a video instead. Hmmm. Lots of videos.. Sunday is just going to be lazy and nice, ah. I quite like sundays, but no one else seem to. Sometimes it really SUCKS to live in Sweden. Especially when I think of Tom, because he´s like the nicest boy, EVER. *Sigh deeply*. But then, Sweden is a quite nice country. We have lots of, er, forests, and, some really grate music, oh, plus I can listen to music in swedish and ENGLISH and understand both! School is alright, I quite like it at the moment. Media is my favourite lesson of the week, well, most of the time. And not just because we have such a beautiful teacher, well, that helps as well, but it´s grate to talk about movies and stuff like that. We´re going to see breakfast club and kids, I am a bit ashamed to say that I´ve never seen breakfast club. But I will have, soon! Oh, before I end this post: Stupid mishearing: Dirty dream # 2: Stuart sang: could you put a name to someone else´s sigh? and Astrid always sang: could you put a name to someone else´s eye? and I thought it was just Stuart being very weird, haha. I only just realised when Tom sent me his story to my website. Take care all, I love you! Astrid xxx --- http://www.angelfire.com/poetry/darling it´s not where dreams come true, but it´s about B&S! --- _________________________________________s_p_r_a_y_ Här börjar Internet!

Sinister: Birthday boys don't remember.
by Ruvi Simmons 20 Oct '01

20 Oct '01

Hello. It's been a while. It's been three months, in fact, since I last found myself sitting between the right angles of my two desks in the early hours of the morning, writing to strangers. I like strangers, probably more than I like the people I know. Which probably means I like myself. Or the promise of unknowns. I found out a few things during the three months I spent teaching English in China. First was that it was possible to speak for several uninterrupted hours on the rudiments of English grammar. Second was that comedians who die on stage to silent audiences persevere because of the ongoing hope for improvement. Third was that people are silly and sad the world over. I knew that one before. In fact, I'm making it all up as I go along, but that isn't an argument not to trust everything you read. It isn't an argument for anything. I still haven't learnt how to be entertaining, I'm afraid. Although I managed to polish up my karoake versions of Send in the Clowns and Puff the Magic Dragon. That, however, is most decidedly not entertainment. There is a touch of surrealism to finding myself in such a familiar scenario. It's the same surprise as when, earlier today, on one of the rare occasions I saw some television, I passively absorbed an advert for Have I Got News For You. They were all there: Angus Deyton, Ian Hislop and Paul Merton, smugly ribbing one another under the kind auspices of Auntie, to the delight of another TV centre audience. The fact that they were still alive was quite a shock. They had been dead to me for so long. But why shouldn't they be? And if they were going to be anywhere, wouldn't they be on television, doing what they always do? And why should my desk be anywhere other than where it has been ever since I bought it from a Bermondsey antiques dealer who sat behind his faux-Chippendale desk puffing Mayfair fags like the Sheik of Tower Bridge? For that matter, why should I be anywhere other than in front of my desk, where I've been so many times before. If I was a betting man, my current position would be odds-on favourite against the other possibilities. Since returning to England, I and some friends have started an arts magazine. That is the real reason I am writing. The preceeding paragraphs were just sweetening preamble. If anyone reading this has any poetry/stories/comments in whose quality they believe, we are welcoming contributions. We have no agenda except that the work must be sincere and serious. We are interested in acting positively against current-day trends of cynicism and media/self-obsession in art and literature. In spite of what I said earlier, that's entertainment, folks. As W.H. Auden put it, don't the darlings have cold hearts? We want to warm them. If anyone is interested, contact me. Tomorrow, art. Today, bed. In between, dreams. Goodnight.

Sinister: Reeeeeelly obscure indie dream team.....
by aale002＠ec.auckland.ac.nz 20 Oct '01

20 Oct '01

OK, after some poking and prodding (;-}) by Kirsten Kenyon on #sinister yesterday, I've decided to post my indie dream team composed entirely of New Zealand musicians.....OK, here goes: 1. Chris Knox(everything) (solo/Tall Dwarfs) 2. Shayne Carter(everything) (Double Happys/Straitjacket Fits/Dimmer) 3. Andrew Brough(guitar/vocals) (Straitjacket Fits/Bike) 4. Kirsty(vocals) (Goldenhorse) 5. Ben(guitar) (Bressa Creeting Cake/Goldenhorse) 6. Dave Dobbyn(guitar/vocals/piano) (Th' Dudes/solo) 7. Tim Finn(guitar/vocals) (Split Enz/Crowded House/Finn/solo) 8. Luke Casey(drums) (Eye TV/the Relaxomatic Project) 9. Nathan Haines(sax) (solo)kinda indie 10. Floss(bass/vocals) (Love's Ugly Children) 11. Boogah(vocals/guitar) (HLAH) Subs 12. Bruno Lawrence(actor/everything) (BLERTA)deceased 13. Phil Judd(everything) (Split Enz/ENZSO) 14. Milan(guitar/vocals) (Pluto) 15. Rodney(guitar/vocals) (Good Shirt) 16. Jeremy(guitar/vocals) (Garageland) 17. Tiki(guitar/vocals) (Salmonella Dub)not very indie, but an ace player Prizes for those that _have_ heard of these people. ;-} You are obviously true indie legends, just like my main man Kirsten. ;-} On to other news....well, I am no longer an Official Book Burglar Catcher at the library. ;-/ Our job officially ended two weeks ago-but on the upside, we get a nice new Book Returns Room with a huuuuuuuuggggeeee window looking out onto ground level Albert Street-so I get people perving at me all hours of the day and night. Just like working in a cafe, really. The Sinister Pcnic in a Library thing sounds like just my cup of Earl Grey. How many Sinisterenes are there in Auckland? I could smuggle us all in here on a Saturday afternoon, then we could wander down to Pizza Pizza and get really sloshed....oh, wait a minute, I do that on my own, anyways....;-} Ummm. I wish my name was Will. All the Andre's on the list, rise up with me now! They can take our dignity with stupid girly-sounding names, but they can never take our FREEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM......... I saw this girl yesterday, and...wow. I've seen her 'round before, like when I worked as an Official Book Burglar Catcher on the front desk, and every time she's caught my eye. Wears lots of pink, which I something I'd usually avoid, but she has dark hair and dark eyes, so it works. Plus, every time I see her, we just seem to stare at each other until something else distracts us, then the moment is well and truely gone. I know I should go up and say something, but- you know how there are some people that just melt you? She's like that for me. <sigh> Yesterday, she was standing next to the Short Loans counter when I went up to drop a book in from the BR room and, I had to walk right towards her to return the book. We just sort of stared at each other as I walked towards her, then I (being an irredemable idiot) paniced and looked down. I placed the book on the counter, muttered something to the counterperson, then turned and...well, not quite _ran_ away, but close. And yesterday was the last day of lectures, so I may get a chance like that again. <slaps forehead> Stupid, stupid Cunning Andre. <sigh> On that note, I'm off to do more nothing. Right-o, that's me, Cunning Andre +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: How Many Records Does a Man Need?

Philip Boucher wrote: >I think its horrid to be honest, oh well. He was referring to this: http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B00005OM55.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg I think it's gorgeous, to be honest. I think it's the best B&S sleeve of the lot. The one on the right is the most gorgeous person ever to appear on a B&S cover, and the one on the left comes a pretty close second. I have an uncontollable urge to ruffle both of their heads, first one and then the other. The one not being ruffled at the time will stick their nose in, impatient for their turn at ruffling. I can think of no greater pleasure. For either of them. Except for the return of Robin Stout. Welcome back. Just moments before I read Robin's post, I finished CRIME AND PUNISHMENT by FYODOR DOSTOEVSKY. Weighing in at a hefty 600 pages, it took quite a bit of getting through. But if I can do it, Robin certainly can. I particularly enjoyed reading it while I was queuing up outside a police station the other day. I listened to Led Zep's BRON-YR-AUR earlier on, I almost expected PF to start bellowing hoarsely over the top, such is its loveliness. I like DOWN BY THE SEASIDE too. It sounds just like being by the seaside. In fact, it was probably the most DOES EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS ON THE TIN record of all time until KYLIE came along with her surgical strike catchiness. I haven't thought of an indie football team. Because it's silly. Marvin Gaye once claimed he could 'do it' all the way through his classic shag album LET'S GET IT ON. He'd have trouble now it's a 2 CD 'deluxe edition' - (70.29) (79.10). I must go because Sli-Muck superstar FLUBBER is on the telly. There's a Thai film about lady-boy volleyball or something. I'll Report Back more thoroughly when I know more. it's showing in the Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. See you there?

Sinister: Dundee meet-up
by Lynsey Callaghan 19 Oct '01

19 Oct '01

A little reminder to all of you coming to the ***Dundee picnic***** We're going to meet at 2pm tomorrow (Saturday) in the train station in Dundee. There's been a slight change of plan, as none of the pubs in Dundee will let dogs in, even lovely dogs like Belle (boo hiss), so the lovely Rachel Sunnyset has offered the opportunity of an indoor picnic at her palace, followed by a trip to the pub(s). So, bring a packed lunch and any alcohol, ribena, etc with you, and we'll just have to see what happens. If you get lost at any point, or are going to arrive later, call my mobile 07786674285 and I'll try to help you!! See you all tomorrow, lyns xox ------------ Lynsey Callaghan u07lec(a)abdn.ac.uk +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Wedding Belles
by Lee & Lisa 19 Oct '01

19 Oct '01

So, *finally* my life has some Belle and Sebastian style content to it...Thankfully it hasn't been filled with whatever they do fill hotdogs with (veggie ones please) 'til or since the aforesaid B&S content...but it's been a hoot and a holler for the first time in, well, awhile... So, two of my very best friends in the world got married in what has to be the most fun and freaky wedding ceremony that I've ever had the pleasure to witness and take part in. My husband was in the ceremony too, so that was 14.9 kinds of cool. To give you a sense of the freakyness: the bride was actually *disappointed* when I didn't wear my Strawberry Switchblade costume and wore the "too normal" 18th c. style taffeta and velvet goth dress instead. A 5 year old said he'd be their ringbearer if , and only if, he could be dressed as "rat boy". The flower "girl" was a man in his late 30s dressed in a gold sequined Mexican wrestler outfit, replete with pvc horns. First B&S moment: My friends from Seattle (the ones we *were* going to visit and see the show with...snif!) brought me an ampersand shirt! I'd say that rawks like Slayer, but really it rawks like Belle and Sebastian doing a Slayer song. The Venn Diagram between the bride's musical taste and my own is quite large in the middle, so the dj'd music chosen by the couple is the best mix of music I'm ever likely to hear outside my own home... 2nd B&S moment: The strains of "Johnathan David" begin ...and the wedding couple and aforesaid Seattle pal all join me (no coercing! I feel so blessed!) to do the various kinds of Charlie Brown kids' dances. The bride and I did the dance of the kid who looks like Frankenstein's monster, with his arms out in front of him, the Groom was Snoopy, and Seattle pal was the 'knees turned in, hands put out at right angles to the body' kid who does the kind of angular charleston. Then , the song segued into Japan's "Quiet Life", Cocteau Twins' "BlueBellKnoll", and Laibach's "Maggie May" wherein we all formed a giant freak conga line. Life is good, my friends, GOOD!! Alright...off to bask in the thought that marriage is really amazing, when you marry your freak partner in crime... Congrats to Sinister couples everywhere!
