Sinister: 1995-96 season
by Sam Walton 18 Oct '01

18 Oct '01

HEllo pEople Well down to business then: Everybody knows that Britpop was rilly grate and rilly silly, and to commemorate those halcyon days of Chris Evans on the radio, and Graham Coxon and Jo Guest on the same piece of film, here's my dream team: *****PRESENTING***** Asm's Britpop XI: Alex James (Blur) Matthew Preist Jarvis Cocker Ian Broudie Rick Witter (Dodgy) (Pulp) (Lightning Seeds) (Shit 7) Louise Wenner Steve Lamacq Jo Whiley Gaz Coombes (Sleeper) (Radio1) (Radio1) (Supergrass) Justine Frishman Damon Albarn (Elastica) (Blur) The old Evening Session combo in the central midfield, feeding the ultimate Britpop couple is what makes this team great. I was gonna put Matthew Preist as a centre-back, but then realised that his heading ability would be severely diminished due to the fact that he wears that Pork Pie all the time. But there you go: 1995/96: Savour the moment. Aaaaaah. In other news, I was on the bus today and there was a girl who looked just like Katie Holmes, holding hands with a boy who looked just like Jarvis Cocker, and I marvelled at the perfection of this couple. That's all I can think of at the moment. Saw Ben & Jason, that north London 8-piece band, in York the other day. They were quite good.

Sinister: apples, chocolates, & scarfs....what more does the world need?
by caleb ben moore 18 Oct '01

18 Oct '01

well i hope nobody gets mad at me, but i've nominated myself an honorary rachel. and henceforth, i shall be known called Rachel As Well. initials R.A.W. thats right. so i heard someone ranting about all the new words springing forth. well i think it's high time we had our own dialect. here's some words i've been using for a while now: going to/gonna = gawn probably = prolly didn't = dint your = yer to place emphasis on something you add a "holy" to the beginning and a "much" to the end of it. ex.: if someone is wearing a really long or cool scarf you say "holy scarf much!" or if they are eating all your food you say "holy eat much!". now i won't expect these words to be accepted right away, but if enough people start using them and other new words and expressions, together we can change the world! well prolly not, but it's worth a shot.... what are some expressions that are unique to you or yer friends? i'm dying to know. also, i was wondering what everyones favourite soundtrack composer is....besides b&s of course. mine is john barry. props if you know what movies he composed for, doubleplus props if you own any of his music. now i know the list is in the grips of a mixtape battle right now, which i whole-heartedly want to join in, but i want to propose a game......of epic proportions to be played out all over the world!.....well not quite. here's my idea, and i really hope someone likes it cause i've always wanted to do this. it's a translation game. basically i'll copy down all the lyrics to one B&S album (whichever one is agreed upon) and then i'll send by post to someone who speaks another language who will translated it directly into their language word for word, who will then send that translation to another and so on, and once we've translated it as many times as possible, we compare the beginning version with the end version. it's like a really long-winded game of telephone. but it will involve use of online foreign dictionaries. or ones from yer local library. i think we have enough different languages on the list to make it really interesting....plus it promotes group communication and participation and yes i know i sound like a kindergarten teacher. anyway, let me know.....i'm very excited about this idea.....and could someone please contact me about joining the rachels mixtape team? much love and undying walkman batteries ------R.A.W. aka caleb ben p.s. sorry about how long this post is. ===== And when I'm lying in my bed I think about life and I think about death and neither one particularly appeals to me and if the day came when I felt a natural emotion I'd get such a shock I'd probably lie in the middle of the street and die I'd lie down and die ------morrissey __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: you're so beautiful it hurts to look at you
by a.page＠ugrad.unimelb.edu.au 18 Oct '01

18 Oct '01

hands up who wants 'my so-called life' back in their lives? those with their hands down, hang your heads in shame and woe for having never had the chance to witness such televisual glory and truth. not to mention jarod leto in his best years ever...*rreow* i have recently decided to make my fortune through medical experimentation. it involves very little work, and you are paid handsomely (though i only do it to advance humanity through further medical knowledge, you understand). you know how you see posters on the walls of a university's medicine and psychology buildings, with words like "are you sane?" and "cash paid"? i always rips off the little attachment with the contact details. so far, i have been involved with a study that consisted of me lying on a bed in a very dark room with a tall and skinny young indian man sticking needles into my arm and feeding me drugs. that experiment made me $40 and provided me with a free lunch (hospital food, mind you - i think it was beef). this week i've been subjected to a young psychology student sticking electrodes all over my head and face. she then sat me down in front of a computer that flashed photos of people with hair from the eighties and bad teeth. apparently it was to test my! reactions to different facial expressions, except that i was also forced to wear headphones that protruded awful screaming sounds every few seconds just to wake me up. that experiment was scary - it was all carried out in this tiny broom cupboard too, with pipes running through it so that you could hear the sewerage system doing its stuff inbetween the screaming sounds from the headphones. *$60* there. oh, a while back i think it was jenowl who mentioned the wonderfulness of the colour purple? well, purple lovers unite! there is this great book called 'mauve' by simon garfield, all about the genius who invented the colour. i haven't quite started reading the book yet, so don't quote me here, but i'm pretty sure that it's one of the best books written in all time ever. i saw evan dando last night in melbourne at the corner hotel! he was lovely, and has grown his hair long again ala the days of the lemonheads! the show had quite a rock beginning, with evan and his guitarist buddy chris brokaw standing with their backs to the audience, evan with 666 written on the back of his ripped-up iron maiden t-shirt...then the show just progressed to become a wonderful mash of old lemonheads songs and evan's new stuff - the best songs being the ones that ben lee has written for him, of course (no offence evan)! the best part of the night had to be the encore, however, when evan and chris played with one of the opening bands sneeze, and they played 'luca' by susan baker! what an amazingly cute and brilliant song. if anyone happened to be there (not sure how many other people on the list live in melbourne), if you just happened to see the girl about three rows from the front, centre, in the brown dress and chunky green necklace and dark red hair looking ! totally annoyed with the person in front of her whilst looking totally in awe up at evan - that might possibly have been me. i hope that there are other listees in melbourne, because there is this great club here called the ninth ward - it has this indiepop night called 'weekender' on saturdays that plays belle and sebastian and looper all the time! i always end up having to literally drag my friends onto the dance floor whenever b&s tunes start up! there must be some of you out there, damn it! i saw a girl at the uni library once in an 'if you are feeling sinister' t-shirt - i should have said something to her, but i was feeling very anti-social that day rather than sinister. my name is luca, i live on the second floor... aw, wow. okay, well i have been amy from melbourne and this has been my second post in three and a half years. justin who works for the government, are you still out there? i lost your address!! sorry! -- amy <a.page(a)ugrad.unimelb.edu.au> +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: oh you're a mean old daddy, but I like you...fine
by Richard Gillanders 18 Oct '01

I might say that I had delusions of eloquence. but watch. as I. don't. rumours of my length are greatly exaggerated. or. invented. my legendary girlfriend. they are the residents at the cafe this week. not an eye-ball mask in sight. mind you. but, for some reason, I thought of dan dare. after I thought of flash gordon. even though I had it wrong. I got that wrong. there were others got wrong. or got not attempted. some had to be contested due to the mild inaccuracy of some questions. or answers. jacques brel did sing in french though. the nepotistical nature of the...arrangements. not relatives. but related. [I'd guess.]. ensured our last place finish. which I was quite contented with. there are interesting things to be said about slint. I reckon. even if they're not about slint. troika. yes. the night before. and I was glad they played first. I enjoyed it. later were mercury tilt switch. after a few drinks something about them seemed to remind me of the barenaked ladies. I think they're canadian. and some people like them. I should imagine. but not my favourites. the bass player here given to similar movements. to one of them. perhaps. looks like I've judged without actually knowing my subject matter. but. after a few drinks. ... princess of power promises to post presently. I know he won't mind me calling him that. because he knows how much I love and respect him. or he should do. maybe I should write him a note. or buy him a drink there. ownership of the cafe? confirm. please. I read 'the adventures of tom sawyer' again last week. I wanted to quote more than one passage. somewhere. maybe not here. not here. I thought I could be in brno at the start of next year. and I think I could be. but I might as well be in berlin. I dono. lucksmiths. soon. fun. missing jonathan richman, I reckon. due to lack of affirmative action. in. ticket getting. someone said will oldham's playing the arches in november. I'll act. affirmatively. or something near to that. not so often do you assume there's a discussion of jacques brel's nationality only to try and join and then find you're being roped into doing some...'air guitar'. I didn't get roped. thankfully. I sloped. and flopped. and. coughed. I've been coughing. UGH, richard. ____________________________________________________________ Nokia Game is on again.

Sinister: The return of Miss Jenni-picnic Mummy extraordinaire
by Christina McDermott 18 Oct '01

18 Oct '01

Mark E. Smith had a ghost in his house. I have a boy in mine. He appeared one day when I wasn't looking. Just hanging around Camden Tube Station looking all sweet and wet in a torrential downpour. I'd drunk too much Ribena one night and was feeling generous when he rang me. "I want to escape from this place. It's boring and all we do is race cars. Can I come and live with you?" And me being a kind soul remembered when he held my hand on Westminster bridge the other week when night and stars streaked the sky like paint and the way he looked in the shadow of fairy lights. He had promised me that we'd go on the London Eye one day at sunset and watch London come to life as though someone had waved a magic wand over it. I had put my head in his lap in the park looking at the Houses of Parliament and we had marveled over the way the moon and the sun worked together. We looked at the architecture and smiled and laughed as glossy green leaves dripped on my nose. So, me being a kind soul...I took pity on him. "Of course you can come and live with me. It'll be fun and we can watch good films like Together and play Transformers and have midnight feasts and I'll play you Tompaulin and you can play me the whole of 69 love songs in one go." And so I swept the boy up and took him home and wrapped him in a green stripey quilt. And for some unknown reason, he's decided to stay. Things of course are never entirely easy. We don't have much money and sooner or later he's going to find his own little room with a roof garden and fairy lights and an immense amount of liquers for me to drink. But for now it's fun. Maybe sometimes, you have to just sweep people up and take them away from places filled with too much dust and too many memories. Stand on a bridge and look at the stars and see how you feel then. Do silly things like have kung-fu fights in public or dare each other to speak with foreign accents on the tube but at the same time smile at each other and stick your tongues out and dance stupidly in clubs to the Moldy Peaches. Only then do you know who your friends are. * * * * ** * * * * * * * * * ** * * * * * * ** * * * * * * * * * * ** ** * * ** * ** * Anyway, before you all wonder who this imposter is who has dared come into the fray without hanging her head and shuffling her feet fresh from the nursery...well, it's me, Miss Photojenni, back again but this time in a new city with lots of new friends to have fun with. I have the delightful Mr. Danson-Hatcher living with me in my lovely Halls of Residence of doom at the moment. It's highly amusing if nothing else, if only for his propensity to drink mega-caffinated coffee and jump around my room trying to touch the ceiling when I'm out. I'm living in Camden now after finally bidding goodbye to the lovely delights of Manchester and going out to the big scary world of University. I'm now at University College London which is scary and posh but at the same time one of the most beautiful buildings I have ever seen. It's hidden from view when you're walking down Gower Street which is surrounded by elegant white Georgian buildings on both sides, but then you reach the main gates and look through to the main Quad...and you're just taken aback by this huge imposing dome. It's absolutely amazing and one of the reasons I decided to come here in the first place. Apart from the imposing nature of the place, it's lovely. The people I live with are highly amusing shown by one of my flatmate's propensity to get stoned and do dance routines which involve doing cartwheels and then crashing into hedges/gates/tables/whatever is there at the time. Me and Hatchback were at the Betsy Trotwood on Friday with the rest of the Sinister "massive" and *wowsers* it was so good! Ben Apps-you are such a little groover and shaker! Ben Apps used to go to my high school when we were wee and had the same clarinet teacher as me and everything and we only found out about this the other week when we went to the pub. That was very scary, but really lovely at the same time and invokes the tired old cliche "Oooh...it's a small world isn't it?" Anyway, the boy really is a little mover, seen in his getting-it-down to PJ and Duncan (Thank you sooo much for playing "Let's get ready to rumble!")and the Moldy Peaches. And he was wearing our old school tie too! Hooray! The lovely Mr Carsmile also played Spearmint's "Sweeping the Nation" which is a truly fantastic song...but can I just ask sir because this is a need to know basis, what is that song called that you played that involves the masterful lyrics "Went to the disco/bumper to bumper/wait a minute/where's me jumper?" Anyhoo...it was lovely meeting all the London Sinisterines, especially Mr Chu again who I had a lovely dance with and made the "rawk" sign at a number of times :-) It's good to see also that he appreciates the masterfulness of Camden Fish Bar after a good night out as much as I do. The night ended with a rounsing rendition of the "Playbus" song on the Nightbus home (with all the dialects in the right place and everything! *giggle*) and yummy chips. So, a good night was had by all I guess. Nice to see that so much money was made for the Red Cross. Definately worth it and I hope to be there again in six months time :-) Oh, and Mr. Carsmile...Jame's L is still slightly prominent on his hand...and mine just magically became a part of me. What pens were you lot using? Black magic voodoo ones or something? Sorry for not reporting back on the Manchester Picnic sooner as that was unfortunately the week I had to get everything together and sorted before I moved here. It was *ace* and pah! to all of you who said you were going to be there but weren't, because you don't know what you missed. Big Stu really is the biggest person I have seen. (To someone as wee as me he looks about seven foot. He is also apparently my son now which disturbs me that someone as wee as me can bear someone so big...also who's the father? Please don't tell me I have another love child on my hands!) Amy is lovely, Phillip is a sweetie, Ken Chu rawks the set and Danson-Hatcher is just...well...amusing, if only for his antics in snogging Mancunian bouncers. I ended up getting rather drunk and singing "The State I'm In" on a table *blush* which I blame entirely on Big Stu and his drinking games! Anyway, a wicked time was had by all...we must do it again sometime. Christmas good for anyone? Someone mentioned a London picnic. Could we have it at the Trocadero please? Me and Hatchback went there the other day and saw the bestest DDR machine in the world with a boy on it who was the bestest person at it I had ever seen. That boy had feet of fire! He was even better than my sister who was spending £10 a day during the summer on DDR! *whisper* Don't tell anyone, but he may even have been better at it than Mister Chu *hides* I think we should have it there and all get drunk and play DDR and go on the arcade machines. That would be wicked :-) People keep mentioning Fosca and how good they are. Damn right too....they're a foxy band, if only because my bestest friend in the whole wide world, the popkitten Kate Dornan is their new keyboardist and therefore you should all go and see them if only because of her. She looks like Trish out of Broadcast and has a propensity to dance behind her keyboard (which is truly amazing and fantastic...even if it did nearly fall on my head when I was round at her house the other day). She's just got back home from touring Sweden with them and told me lots of funny stories about people asking her for autographs and foxy wee Swedish indie boys coming backstage after gigs and giving her shot measurements they stole from behind the bar for her. If anybody from here is from Sweden and they saw Fosca, were they good? Did Kate dance as amusingly as she said she did? Has Dickon's singing improved? I always thought he looked like a younger Luke Haines personally...he just needs the wry humour and biting sarcasm and then he'll be there. Wowsers, this is a long post! But before I go...regarding the whole Will/Rachel/Chris mix tape battle...can I join too? My proper Christian name is Christina after all which is the feminine version of Christopher. Cay is just a shortened version of it...and I make a right foxy mix tape to dance around your room too. The popkitten says I have the strangest music taste in the world which is probably true...but hey, you'd get to hear my wonderful new band and if you're really good I may even include some sweeties :-) Love and Lollipops as always, Miss Jenni (Cay) xXx P.S. Whoever Ken Chu's current wife is at this moment in time-could you please remind him that this month's maintenance for Pika is late? Her grandma's getting fed up with paying for her Red Bull and DDR addiction and threatening to send her to her father so he can look after her. *hehehe* You've been warned :-) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Chuse your future
by Danny Farrell 18 Oct '01

18 Oct '01

Hello sinister-pies, Ooooo what a strange few days i've had, I tried to quit my university course on Tuesday because Accounting is just not really for me,so i went to see my University counselor and somehow,im still not quite sure, i was convinced that staying in Accountancy was such a good idea,i think he used magic. I think i actually stamped at one point: "I wanna quit the course" nicely and calmly "But have you considered the amazing career prospects of accountancy" "I wanna quit the course" slightly agitated and whiny "You know you can take a non-accredited degree and finish a year earlier" "I wanna quit the course" Stamping up and down "You know you can get into any Sociology or English career with an accountancy degree" "I wanna quit the course" pleading "But its already too late in the semester" "Bite me.Bite me. Bite me." running out the room Hmmmm anyway something like that,i was bewitched i tell you. Erm im weak. Then at night i went to see Troika with a few friends and met some lovely sinister type people too and i decided to take my anger at the counsellor out on my liver,it is bad and must be punished,9 tequila slammers and a Troika gig later i was callously deserted by my friends. Not callously or deserted either but that sounds better. Anyway i found myself in the company of a superfab young lady,another four or five tequila slammers later and we headed for our respective last trains. However what was not taken into consideration is what i shall suggestively title "the five steps rule" which means that after ten or more tequila shots walking five or more steps without falling is nigh on impossible,this makes walking for a train a lot more difficult but slightly more colourful,anyway the ten minute walk turned into a half hour stumble and the last train slowly headed away with absolutely no consideration for drunken buffoons who could only manage a few steps without falling flat on their face.Evil Railtrack bar-stewards!Actually i could have made the train because i could manage a whole twenty steps without falling but my superfab lady friend could only manage the pitiful five discussed earlier Luckily Mr. Troika seen us and let us stay at his place which was superfab of him actually because i so didn't fancy the prospects of staying up in Glasgow all night with a Hefner gig looming over my head the next evening. Then the next day me and my huge hangover went to see Hefner which should have been grate,but my liver didn't like being punished the previous day so it decided to make me feel evil all day. For some strange reason they played the Cathouse which is like goth heaven and i was expecting to walk in and see some sheep being sacrificed on a pentagram but maybe i was late or something because there wasn't one. Mr. Hayman's voice was dead too and there these neds who kept shouting and swearing and generally being neds,i think the pinnacle of their nedness was when one of them tried to out-sing Hayman and when politely asked to quieten down replied "Fuck off this is my song" Argh i want to kick neds' shins Yicketts are worse though,they're the cultural consequences of people like Eminem and Mr. Durst. I'd love to chain Yicketts together by padlocking their chains to each other and then watch them try to figure out why they keep falling,i think it would take about a year for them too realise: "Wow man we keep falling and we're like stuck too each other" "Hey this is,like,soooooo unrufus" "I wonder if my man Em has a song about this" Erm quite. Hmmmm tangents: Loneliness must be the single most crippling emotion anyone can experience.Its so much worse than rejection or sadness or general malaise because they can all be bounced back from and you can turn to friends,but if you're lonely you've no one to turn to or at least it seems that way and it just leaves you feeling so empty. I almost hugged a lamp post last night,i think i would have if id had more to drink but as it was i just settled for a few head-pats from my tall friend and the pearls of wisdom "It really can only get better" or something similar to that anyway. I am afraid of the dark ages, recently instead of taking notes at university i've been sitting writing random weird lines that come into my head from novels or films or even my warped imagination and my friend asked to borrow my notes because he missed a lecture and i gave them to him without thinking and all he got was a bunch of random weird lines that he couldn't understand at all,which was pretty funny for me. Ooooo dundee picnic is on Saturday,i need to make my way up all on my lonesome because Alan can't make it which is not too good actually because three hours on the train myself isn't much fun. Hmmm everyone can be super nice to me when i come up though and then i can punish my liver some more and that will be fab. Anyway must dash Love, hugs and a purple funky monkey, Danny xxx _________________________________________________________________ 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: Audiogalaxy

18 Oct '01

Hi peeps, Sorry for breaking the 15 minute rule, but I'm in a lesson and I should be working, hope you all understand. Just wanted to say about audiogalaxy, when I installed it, it asked me if I wanted the dodgy spyware, to which I said "NO!", and there was no problem. I like Audiogalaxy, since it's the only file sharing thing that will run on my uni's computers.

Sinister: "...loving his world so much he still sings..."
by Simon Aurell 18 Oct '01

18 Oct '01

ken is my brother. he did not live in a nice house with brothers and sisters and a mom and a dad. my dad adopted him from an orphanage in san francisco. he was also born in san francisco. he sung down the streets going to school because he loved music so much. ken loves music so much that he started a band named the posies. they let out a cd after they got started. unfortunately they broke up. still having the passion flow right through him. a year later he was picked by r.e.m. to do some backup singing and instrument playing. he once again started another band called the saltines. suddenly when ken was going down to australia to sing, he saw his face in the papers and pictures on street walls. then he noticed that he was coming back in the music world. if he were this famous now, maybe he would be really great in the future. loving his world so much he still sings. ken plans to get more well known around the world like the backstreet boys. he turned from a boy singing music down the street skipping to school to a star just waiting to show his stuff. i never thought that i would say this. but, i am glad to have a brother that loves music.

Sinister: Weird Al
by Tim Banning 18 Oct '01

18 Oct '01

hello, I've been writting a lot these days. well, that is to say I've been posting a lot, but not writting a whole lot. I saw Ben Folds tonight. It was at this bowling alley and he played at inside the bar. It seemed to be a promotional thing, he played 5 or 6 songs and then Weird Al came on stage and sang an old ben folds five song. Then for the encore, Glen Philips from Toad the Wet Sprocket came out and sang another song. It was really great. I saw a girl there with 2 b&s pins along with a b&s shirt, whew I wasn't the only one. I'm not really a big fan of weird al, but it was cool to see him do this...I'm really tierd, I apologize for the really small letter. tim _________________________________________________________________ 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: Red Bull as Criminal Defence?
by David Clark. 18 Oct '01

18 Oct '01

This came out of an Australian Newspaper the other week..... Teenager Robbed Store in 'Red Bull Delirium' >From the Sydney Morning Herald A teenager who drove 300 kilometres to rob a supermarket of $17,000 at knifepoint may have done so partly because he had drunk too much of the energy drink Red Bull, a judge said yesterday. The 17-year-old Darwin boy, who cannot be identified, was a conscientious high school student with two part-time jobs, who also found time for volunteer community work, the Northern Territory Supreme Court heard. Psychiatric and medical evidence suggested he might have been suffering caffeine intoxication when he drove from Darwin to Katherine on May 19 armed with a butterfly knife and carrying a balaclava to rob the supermarket. The boy was drinking up to 11 cans of Red Bull a day before the robbery - more than twice the caffeine needed to cause significant toxic effects, the court heard. Caffeine intoxication may have altered the boy's state "such that his judgment was impaired and he performed this robbery in the context of experiencing delirium", the psychiatrist's report said. A pre-sentence report also pointed to caffeine as a contributing factor. "It appears there was a blurring between fantasy and reality, perhaps induced by caffeine and chronic sleep deprivation," the report said. "Since committing this crime, [the boy] has weaned himself off the Red Bull and no longer has any caffeine. I've noticed the change in his ability to think rationally and he sleeps well."
