Sinister: I know where the Autumn Goes
by Joe Vester 31 Oct '01

31 Oct '01

It goes south, you know, the Autumn, that is. It likes to take its hols during the Winter but generally hangs around there for a while, it's a bit of a hippy, the Autumn is. I had a dream about Sinister. I was on the top of Primrose Hill, not in the park, but on the road next to it. All the Sinister people were at the bottom, and they all recognised me, even though I've never met them. They were waving at me, so I started Running towards them, but with every step I took, the hill got steeper, and steeper, until it was almost vertical. I then got really scared and tried to run up it, but fell down and backwards, but it was really high. Much higher than it looked, and I fell for ages, and ages. Until I hit something and woke up. I think this is because in my dreams, no-one has faces, or at least no-one I've not met does. I'm just not good enough at imagining them. It can be quite embarrassing this and dreams with other people in are always awkward. I just try to avoid them. The other dream I had was where Belle and Sebastian all get in the bath with me, like in "String Bean Jean". Yeah, I know the Jo is a girl in that song, but I quite liked that dream all the same. It's the only one I've ever had that directly involves B&S, not just various people who like them. I bought This Is Just A Modern Rock Song and Dog On Wheels. I love them both, although String Bean Jean is my favourite. I particularly like the bit at the beginning with the bass guitar. It sounds like a Bond movie soundtrack. I also love the way it says "Interminable Three Chord Break" in the sleevenotes to TIJAMRS. The Gate has become my favourite Isobel song. Peter Carter, I will buy "This is Desire" as soon as I have some more money, having blown it all on TIJAMRS and DOW (no, not the jones, obviously) I had some other stuff to say, but I've forgotten what it was, Joe OH YEAH! I remember! The picnic, the one on Primrose Hill. I WILL (unintentional pun) be there. I also demand that, as this is my first picnic, lots of people will also be there, And I don't care if you have to come from Sweden, Australia, or America. Or even further afield. I doubt it will have snowed, though. It never bloody snows in london. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: screech of the siren
by Helen McLean 31 Oct '01

31 Oct '01

Hello again, Back with even less content than ever before. Tonight my local park is ablaze. The bush all around it gets set fire to at least once a year. Everything is smoky outside and there is a faint orange glow if I look in the parkerly direction. (And I think I just made up a word) Its like the whole street is some dodgy pub or club. Atmospheric even. Except with pensioners in their robe's shuffling out to have a look at the fire and the smoke and mutter to themselves about hooligans and the youth of today. There's nothing like a good blaze to get the neighbourhood talking. Robin Stout returned (yay) with some stories of office life. I too, always listened to anecdotes of others about such things but never realised how insane offices can be. At my work we have a woman who has a small obsession with watching planes fly, and so at the slightest sound of a plane flying overhead (which can happen quite often) she will literally drop everything and bolt out the door and will be staring at the sky smiling. I was confused about this for awhile, no-one having explained this strange running ritual of hers to me for a couple of weeks at least. You would be in the middle of a conversation about such exciting things such as filing and and she would suddenly turn her head and then run away really fast for no apparant reason. It was certainly baffling. I often wonder whether she really likes watching planes at all, or whether over the twenty odd years she has worked for the company she has figured out a bizarre way of avoiding questions and work. Halloween. We actually had a group of trick or treater's tonight, and not living in America but in Australia where not very many people do that kind of thing, I hovered awkwardly at the door not quite sure what the protocol was. Thankfully I have watched enough US television to have some semblance of what to do. We didn't have anything to give. I searched through the pantry and came up with either some tins of tuna or corned beef. It would certainly have been good if we could have gotten rid of that corned beef, it has been sitting in there for years it seems. But that would be like kicking Tiny Tim in the shins. Instead I found some can's of lemonade and sheepishly went back and gave it to them. Well, it was all we had with a great deal of sugar in it. They looked none too impressed though. I think they went out on this venture expecting mountains of sweets and were probably going to come back with something along the lines of a canned food drive. We're just not prepared for this sort of thing here. New single is presumably out soon here too? Anyone with news on Australian release dates, or are they pretty much the same? Hell I'll probably end up paying double for an import anyway but it's nice to know :) Right, well, bye.

Sinister: Live on Sinister TV tonight...
by Gardiner, Stuart 31 Oct '01

31 Oct '01

Good evening, you're watching our exclusive new digital TV station, Sinister TV. All the news, views and reviews you need from our worldwide army of correspondents. Coming up: Peter Miller's documentary on the lives of lemurs, followed by Mark Casarotto in the new series of Queer As Folk. But now, it's over to James "Dancing" Hatcher in our sports studio for the big match: Rachel Rovers v Wills United. (Cue U2's Beautiful Day, to be played at least 20 times in the next half-hour) "Good evening, and welcome to the biggest match of the season so far. Rachel Rovers have won the league for the last two years now, since the untimely demise of Keith Athletic; but his year they face a new challenge, in the form of the rejuvenated Wills United. Let's get the views of our expert guest, none other than the legendary Pinefox." "Action. Competition. Smooth. Robust. Sense? Nonsense. Good game." "Thanks for those incisive comments. Now, without further ado, over to John Motson for commentary on this vital top-of-the-archives game, live from Honey's Bar." "Hello, and welcome to this seething cauldron, this theatre of drama, this temple of wonderment, this..." "Get on with it!" "Sorry James, got a bit carried away there. Anyway, We're here in the lounge area of Honey's Bar for this eagerly anticipated match-up. We've got a huge crowd of almost six. and they're - no, wait, here come the teams. First out are Rachel Rovers, led out by their captain, Archel Toast. They jog out to the centre of the Arena; there's star striker Rachel Fruitloop, Rachel Grapenut, Rachel Eggs and Bacon, and at the back their goalkeeper Rachel Haven't-Got-Time-For-Breakfast-Today-I'm-Late-For-Work. They'll be wearing their home strip today, pink and puce stripes with orange shorts, and the name of their sponsors Kelloggs on the front. "Next, here come Wills United. They're led out by Will Porter, just recovered from a cruciate ligament injury. No, I don't know what one of them is either, but someone in every sports team you ever see always seem to have injured theirs. Personally I reckon it's just an excuse because they're too hungover and can't be bothered to run about for an hour and a half. Anyway, there's the last few team members coming out of the tunnel from the beer cellar. So we've just got to wait for the presentations. The guest of honour today is none other than Llllllaura Lllllllew, aka the face that launched a thousand hips. She's working her way along the Wills row now, and - oh dear - Will Salt has run off the pitch after her. That's going to leave their team one man short for the start of the match. Amazingly, that's the fifth time he's done that this seaon, and it's only the third game. "Our referee tonight is Genevieve from Canada, who sent off three people in her last game in charge. Let's hope we don't get the same again tonight. There's a screech as the whistle goes - oh, sorry it's just Stuart Murdoch trying to reach the high notes in She's Losing It again. Right, now they're underway. The Rachels are off to a good start, gaining possession of the tape recorder; but a nifty dummy from Will Power and the Go-Betweens CD is safely in the hands of the keeper. Meanwhile, Rachel is working well down the left. She passes to Rachel, who does a quick one-two with Rachel. She boots it upfield, where Rachel brings it down brilliantly; she lays it off to Rachel, who turns and lifts a cross into the area. It's gone over Rachel's head, but Rachel is there on the end of it; a quick shot, but Will is on the end of it and saves spectacularly. Well, a frantic start there, time for some early comments from our expert summarizer, Idleberry." "The Rachels are looking good, they've prepared well and done their homework. Their movement off the ball is superb, and it's only a matter of time before they get the result they want. A bad tackle there, Will was lifted completely off the ground, he's got blood on his shirt. But that's fine, because with new Daz powder, his white shirt will turn out brilliantly, it works great even on tough stains like blood, mud and red wine..." "What are you going on about?" "Ooops, sorry John, I got a bit carried away there. I'm doing a voiceover for a washing powder advert tomorrow morning, thought I'd better get some practice in." "OK, let's just concentrate on the game Idles, can we?" "Sorry, it won't happen again. I'll keep it clean from now on. Almost as clean as washing done with Daz Ultra..." "Right, that's it, you're sacked as our expert summarizer. Let's get back to the action, shall we? A quick glance at the scoreboard tells us that it's now 3-2 to the Rachels, a great match, the best of the season, you don't want to miss a moment of it. We'll be right back after this short break." --SNAP-- "I didn't mean that sort of break, you idiot. Anyway, now we're back, the score is 4-4, so you didn't miss much. Apart from that goal-of-the-season contender from Rachel Marmalade. But Will HeOrWon'tHe has possession, and is looking to distribute. Isn't that illegal? A quick look up, and he spots Will AndTestament upfield. But wait! Just as he was about to make the pass, a dreadful high challenge came in from Archel Toast, she's tackled him right in the tackle. He's on the ground, rolling around in pain, clutching his groin. at least, I hope that's why he's clutching his groin. The referee's going to have to take some sort of action here. She knows how much damage an injury there could do to Will's future life, he won't be having any children for a while. He's married, one child. But that didn't work out, so he married an adult instead. "Genevieve, the referee, reaches for her pocket, and what kind of card will she produce? Yes! It's a Christmas card. she's forcing Archel to sign it and post it to Will to make friends again. No hard feelings, except possibly in Will's groin area. So, back to the action, with a free pass to the Wills. They've gained possession of the tape deck, and are determined to break down the Rachels' defence and get through to Rachel Cornflake's CD collection. But hold on, what's going on here? There's some people on the pitch, do they think it's all over? "There's a 4-man pitch invasion in progress. Hang on a minute, I recognise them! It's four members of the Sporting Stuarts team, Rachel Rovers' deadly rivals. And they look like they're ready to fight! This is terrible, they've interrupted a superb match just to settle a few old scores. There's Big Stu trying to start a fight with Will MaFlinstone in the middle of the pitch. Archel tries to aim a punch at him, but she can't reach. Stuart Hallifax is chasing a couple of Rachels. Meanwhile, Stuart Murdoch, the ex-boxer, is taking on the rest of the Wills team single-handed. I'm sure it would be much more effective if he used both hands, but never mind. And on the far side of the pitch, Stuart David is working his way round the Rachels team shouting 'Pish! Pish! Pish!' at them. "There's chaos all over the pitch. The crowd are getting agitated, and they're all heading for the bar. And yes, the referee has called off the game. It's a disgrace, there's going to have to be an enquiry into this. So, back to James Hatcher in the studio." "Thank you, John Motson at Honey's Bar. Well, quite extraordinary scenes there, what did you make of it Pinefox?" "Disgrace. Panic. Fight. Over." "Hmmm, interesting. But who do you think was behind all this? Surely the Stuarts couldn't have organised all this by themselves, so who did? Kirsten Kenyon has joined us, have you go any idea who might be responsible?" "Well, it's very tempting to blame the evil Ken Chu for this. But we blamed him last time in The Case Of The Runaway Thread, so we'd better think of some new plot ideas this time." "And what can be done to stop this happening again?" "Well, it's simple - we just need to pick some random foreign person to blame. It doesn't matter whether it was them or not, because we won't bother having a trial, we'll just bomb their country for a few months." "That's great. So, Pinefox, before we go, any last thoughts?" "Jump. Rabbit. Paperclip. Time. My Editor." "Thank you. Well, it's been an eventful day here. We'll be back next week, when we'll have exclusive coverage of the local derby between the Robins and the Roberts." This has been a Sinister TV production.

Sinister: a plummer pasting
by Kenneth P Y Chu 31 Oct '01

31 Oct '01

Hallo weeners! How are your halloweens? Hope it's going well, mine has been spooky. This morning everyone in my department has been a calm day, nothing was happening at all, in fact, you can even say that it was a bit dull. Then there was a meeting for all of the permanent staff in my department, leaving just me to answer all of the phone calls. Suddently, everyone from the whole of the UK, and some from Jupiter decided to call into the office with a godzillion (which is bigger than a gazillion) questions that I can't answer, and then as soon as the meeting was over, no one called again. Then, on my lunch hour, I was expected to find my car in the car park, and when I got to the car park, guess what? My car was there!! Spooky or what? Well, what I also found, was another car, parked perfectly in front of my car, boxing it in, in a total eclipse fashion! My car was just stuck there like a floater in a water closset, wouldn't move anywhere. Instincts told me to look around in search for Jeremy Beadle, to see if he's about, cos I was sure this was a practical joke, but nope, no TV crew, no nothing. I think a halloween ghost gave me loads of random phone calls today and moved a car in front of mine, just because I didn't give him a sweet last year. That's a bit narrow-chested if you ask me, I bet it's the ghost of Sporty Spice. Yes, so that car's handbrake wasn't on, but shh! You're ruining my halloween mystery! Youn and pez talked about Judy and the Dream of horses and the boy done wrong again.. personally I like both, I like Judy cos it's cute and it has a fantastic finale, and album enders should have fantastic finales like that. I liked The Boy Done Wrong Again for its sentiment. I remember I few years ago I told someone that my ambition is to one day write a really sad song that will make everyone cry, and then a couple of years later I heard the song and there was the lyrics "All I wanted was to sing the saddest song, and if you would sing along I will be happier", and I was like, "wow". Spooky, you'd even say. I always thought "Judy I don't know you if you're gonna show me everything" meant "I am going to pretend that I don't know you if you're going to flash your boobs to me in public", Stuart was trying to sound as if he's not a pervy guy, but a few years later he admits his guilt. "I'm not to proud to say that I'm okay with the girl next door who's famous for showing her chest". Another mystery solved... I'm good with mysteries today.

hello the sinistericals... how are you all this beautiful autumn day? i'm listening to Xfm right now and this stupid woman says that the new embrace single's gonna be huuuuuge! tch tch... oh oh... she now has mr hannon on air... like who cares if Divine Comedy split up or not? there's one song i like by them tho' and it's not even theirs! but how could they go wrong with a Burt Bacharach song? and i'm talking about "make it easy on yourself" of course... anyway... Rachel titled her post "a spooky witch in a sexy dress" and gave me thoughts of my dog, spooky, in a sexy dress... you know the only piece of cloth she ever wore was these self-made knickers i made for her for obvious reasons (her being a she-dog) with a hole at the back for her tail to pop out! but i think that since she's moving to glasgow in a few months she'll need some warm clothes!! mmmm that makes me wonder about belle's gardarobe! there are 6 women in my office right now talking away in their so annoying screeching voices! and that makes me wonder... have these women ever been loved? and if they did who was the psycho that loved them!! yikes! that'll give me nightmares for a week... grrr stop laughing you bloody moo!!! don't you just hate people who laugh loud? i think that shows really bad manners! like talking loud too... so so anti-erotic! I'd better light up a fag! XfM's just announced the JoaN of ARse gig!! yay!! which reminded me that joanofdark should change her nickname... too goth methinks...joanofarse is much better and furthermore it'll get you some extra crush votes!! *giggles*... I hope JohanyMahony doesn't take this the wrong way... "i listen to the radio at night... waiting to hear your voice..." mmmm what a lovely song... unfortunately i cannot listen to brit radio at home so i won't hear your voice my love... "i'm waiting for the telephone to ring; waiting till late hours..." but will you call? or it is more likely to only hear your voice on the radio? PJ Harvey's on the radio... i hate her... mmm no, hate is a strong word! i just despise her! she's so ugly and such a bloody freak! the only descent song that she sings is the one with nicholas cave "henry lee" about HenRy Lee Lucas, a notorious american serial killer... "so what have you done in your life Henry Lee?" "I burnt, i killed, i had sex with men, with corpses, i ate human flesh, i married a girl 25 years younger than me and then i killed her in a motel room and burried her in the desert..." ... "oh henry lee, you're so misunderstood"... 2 times they led him to the electric chair... 2 times the electric chair "good ol'smokie" was conveniently broken and henry lee was returned to his cell half-burned... till one day he was found dead in his cell... suicide... I wonder... what is worse? listening to radiohead on the radio or listening to the bloody moos keep talking and giggling in the office? they both seem completely annoying to me... oh txt message from Gav to save me!! phew.... technology's a darling innit!! StayC (dahling) the diaRyGiRl was here visiting... she just stayed 5 days this time... she was ill with a terrible flu...a virus she brought with her from the UK... we had chocolate souffle, vegetable soup, watched horror films whilst snuggling under the blanket, been terrorised by insane men, made her come up on the rooftop of a hospital building that was not completely built yet.... mmm you know i have this obsession with roof tops! see "IF" and "LEON" to know why! I played mummy for the weekend... twas nice... i wish my Lixi-Lux was here for me to look after her... she's too ill with this bad bad flu! but thankfully she has Ally Warhol Cinnamon to escort her to easyeverything! I was jealous of my fellow go-go dancer P00kie's poem, so here's mine.... i thought it was very appropriate... it's by Dante Gabriel Rossetti and it's called "On Refusal of Aid Between Nations" Not that the earth is changing, O my God! Nor that the seasons totter in their walk, Not that the virulent ill of act and talk Seethes ever as a winepress ever trod, Not therefore are we certain that the rod Weighs in thine hand to smite thy world, though now Beneath thine hand so many nations bow, So many kings: -- not therefore, O my God! � But because Man is parceled out in men To-day; because, for any wrongful blow, No man not stricken asks, "I would be told Why thou dost thus; "but his heart whispers then, "He is he, I am I.�"By this we know That the earth falls asunder, being old. ............ I think my beloved fellow spinisterine LauraL will appreciate this poem... I miss some people in this list... pRimitive painteR, where aRt thou?? do post! or email me, ok? AndRew Williams hasn't posted for a while... why Andrew? I like Richard's mou (Gillander's) short short sentences... they are like shots! or like slaps! or like lashings! nice... When me and my StayC woke up this morning we were like half asleep still.. so I played the B+S cd my little cousin HoneyMeleniawhooshingprincess gave me when we were having the greenwich picnic in june... it made me wonder... i can't believe there are people who don't really like "jonathan+david"... i love this song... it is bittersweet... and stevie sings... and i like it when stevie sings... i also like "i love my car"... but again the trumbet lines in "i love my car" were ripped off of Dexy's songs... "for god's sake buRn it down"!! i think B+S are on their prime... their full blossoming... but of course after the full blossoming, withering and after that decomposition follows... let's hope that's not the case here... I've started boring myself... who knows how much i must have bored you... but then falling into boredom very fast and very easily is one of my life's curses... mmm one last thing... a happy thing! i found in the net the house of my dreams in Glasgow!! tis for rent... 900quid/month!! me, my Paul and Nicholas are moving there... hopefully!! it even has an attic/studio!! there, i'll be able to paint and play with my little cousin, playing with our dolls making them great clothes!! and it has a garden too! that means the S(inister) G(uide) G(irls) will have a place to set their tent and spend nights talking about boys, worst snogs ever and clothes and make-up and mesoforia that woooshhhhh and also tell scary stories under the torch light! I can't wait! take care hugs, Vel xxx PS: there's a sinistergirl who came to London from the states for her postgraduate studies... her name is Sarah Garrett Sonner (ssonner(a)hotmail.com) and she's a darling!

Sinister: ramblings from the southern hemisphere .....
by Lawrence Mikkelsen 31 Oct '01

31 Oct '01

hello folks ..... It's been a long time since I've posted, mainly because I've been tied up with wedding stuff. Which has been a bit nerve wracking. Plus getting our new place together, which has, again, been a bit nerve wracking. I am currently trying to sort out my legion of CDs. I lost count somewhere past 600, and right now I am just trying to work out a storage solution, other than being "stored" in a higgledy-piggledy fashion in a series of shoe boxes and the like. I want a big bookshelf type arrangement for them all, so they can finally be alphabestied. Jeez ... I'm starting to sound like the guys in "High Fidelity" aren't I? Anyway, my main reason for posting was merely to reassert myself as New Zealand's biggest poster. In my wedding-preparation-absence, another Aucklander has come out of the woodwork - Cunning Andre - which was a little disturbing. Two posts in as many days from someone I didn't know existed, in a land not know for it's wealth of B&S fans. I digress .... but hopefully there will be the first inaugural Sinister Auckland picnic sometime before or after Christmas. Exciting times. I am designing a flyer and planning the days as we speak. (sad bastard!) So, a few new things in the B&S camp ..... Firstly, *THE COVER OF THE NEW SINGLE*. It's a cracker! The dog looks like my dearly departed beagle-cross, Suzy, who sadly left us in '99, just a few days after "Tigermilk" was released on CD. I always link the two in my mind, so that LP has happy/sad feelings. Is that Sarah on the cover? Whoever it is ... she's lovely and I want to be her friend. There's something wonderful about a girl and a dog. All of a man's needs in one tidy package. and also *STORYTELLING* When does this open in the civilised world/Northern hemisphere? (It won't hit NZ for at least 6 months, if at all, I'd wager.) I am still eagerly watching my inbox for any news about the forthcoming soundtrack album. I hope it's a bunch of new stuff. It seems like such a long time since "Fold Your Hands ...." came out. I need a new B&S CD which lasts longer than 10 minutes. Also ..... *THE DIVINE COMEDY VS. BELLE & SEBASTIAN* Well, not really. But I've been listening to "Liberation" a lot lately. it's my favourite of their albums. Anyway, my question is ....... "As a loving pastiche of 80's synthpop, which song is better ..... a) 'Electronic Renaissance by Belle & Sebastian, or ... b) 'Europop' by The Divine Comedy. Answers on the back of an email please. Sad that the DC has split, although I guess Neil Hannon essentially *is* The Divine Comedy, and hopefully he'll keep working under that name. and, more to the point .... *SPEARMINT* Are they any good? I ordered "Oklahoma" (their Christmas themed album) the other day, having been recommended them by a few usually trustworthy people. And like the idea of Christmas albums ... especially as there are only 9 weeks 'till Christmas. Anyone care to let me know what I'm in for? Somewhere I read that they "were like a Postcard band" which made me quite excited. ********************************* Stuff of little interest to most listees, but included on the basis it maybe of *some* interest to *some* listees. Feel free to skip. ********************************* For anyone who's interested in New Zealand music, APRA (Australasian Performing Rights Assoc., I think) published a list of the top 30 New Zealand songs of all time. it's a bit of a joke, but here's the list. for those who can't be bothered clicking on the link, here's the list ..... 1. Nature, Wayne Mason (Fourmyula, 1969) 2. Don't Dream It's Over, Neil Finn (Crowded House, 1987) 3. Loyal, Dave Dobbyn (1988) 4. Counting The Beat, Phil Judd/Mark Hough/ Wayne Stevens (The Swingers, 1981) 5. Six Months In A Leaky Boat, Tim Finn (Split Enz, 1982) 6. Sway, Bic Runga (1997) 7. Slice Of Heaven, Dave Dobbyn (Dave Dobbyn with Herbs, 1986) 8. Victoria, Jordan Luck (Dance Exponents, 1982) 9. She Speeds, Shayne Carter (StraitjacketFits, 1987) 10. April Sun In Cuba Paul Hewson/Marc Hunter (Dragon, 1978) 11. I Got You, Neil Finn (Split Enz, 1980) 12. Whaling, Dave Dobbyn (DD Smash, 1984) 13. Not Given Lightly, Chris Knox (1990) 14. Pink Frost, Martin Phillipps (The Chills, 1984) 15. Jesus I Was Evil, Darcy Clay (1997) 16. Weather With You, Tim Finn/Neil Finn (Crowded House, 1991) 17. Blue Smoke, Ruru Karaitiana (Pixie Williams and the Ruru Karaitiana Quartet, 1949) 18. Dance All Around the World, Corben Simpson, Geoff Murphy (Blerta, 1972) 19. Lydia, Julia Deans (Fur Patrol, 2000) 20. Blue Lady, Graham Brazier (Hello Sailor, 1977) 21. Drive, Bic Runga (1996) 22. Chains, Che Fu/DLT/Angus McNaughton/Kevin Rangihuna (1996) 23. Dominion Road, Don McGlashan (Muttonbirds, 1993) 24. Glad I'm Not a Kennedy, Shona Laing (1986) 25. I Hope I Never, Tim Finn (Split Enz, 1980) 26. Tears, Fane Flaws/Arthur Baysting (Crocodiles, 1980) 27. Be Mine Tonight, Dave Dobbyn/Ian Morris (Th'Dudes,1978) 28. I See Red, Tim Finn (Split Enz, 1979) 29. Beside You, Dave Dobbyn (1998) 30. Home Again, Karl Kippenberger/Tom Larkin/Phil Knight/Jon Toogood (Shihad, 1997) "Nature" was a good choice ....... Interesting that, according to APRA, 11 of the NZ's top 30 songs are written by either Dave Dobbyn, Tim or Neil Finn. In my opinion Martin Phillipps has written as many classic pop moments as Neil Finn. Certainly, that "Husband House" by The Sneaky Feelings , or anything by The Clean for that matter, weren't included, is nothing short of blasphemous. The list seemed to largely ignore the whole Flying Nun scene, which was sad. A friend of mine was at the awards, and said that in the video montage that was shown, Flying Nun hardly got a look in. OK, off to bed ...... sleep tight, listees, Lawrence +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: pulling my fingers off
by ETypeJoe＠aol.com 31 Oct '01

31 Oct '01

i'm just recovering from a double sinister shock - first mark hester knocks me sideways with mentions of the mighty paris angels, and the wendys, and then rachel fruitloop reminds me of my own mortality with talk of a sinister retirement community. i don't know whether to take some comfort from the fact that there are one or two of us more ancient listees (in my case i have to think back over three whole years, just to remember a time when my age started with a 2 not a 3 - just think about exactly how old that is kids - rather scarily i could potentially be a father to one or two on the list, and no don't anybody suggest a sinister adoption scheme - i couldn't bear the responsibility) or just to feel old and sad. so just why i am posting instead of digging out that old bodines 7" (sorry mention of fab mancunian groups of yore has set me off, and yes i do know the wendys were from embra, but they may as well been manc) - two reasons really. firstly ace dj of this parish, well alright then john peel from radio 1 is running his fantastic festive 50 again this year. for those that don't know you can vote for your three favourite tracks of the year, including session tracks, and he plays the top 50 as voted over xmas time. details of voting will undoubtedly appear on www..bbc.co.uk/radio1/alt/peel or on his radio 1 show (i'm too tired to explain the details here, but mail me off list if you want more info and can't be bothered to find out - i can prolly cope with explaining at a more godly hour), but you do have to vote in the month of november. it would be grately pleasing to see a ditty or two from any popular 8-piece scottish beat combos if you can think of any (hurrah, tenuous b&s content!), not that i'd be wanting to encourage any wild accusations of brit award style vote rigging campaigns, of course - oh no, not me... he has a pulp live set including webcast on tomorrow (wednesday 31st) by the way, with the lovely hefner on the night after (audio only, but at least we won't have to look at darren) the other more reason was the disturbing piece of graffiti i saw on a crossing at clapham common last weekend during my six-monthly visit to the big metropolis from the northern hinterlands that are south manchester. it read "chu was here". what can it all mean?... anyway, i am about to fall asleep so back to lurkerdom with intent from whence i came. a big hey to gina, and chris - i will mail you sometime before the next ice age. now just where is my man from delmonte tape?... tara for now, jonny +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: A spooky witch in a sexy dress
by Rachel fruitloop 31 Oct '01

31 Oct '01

HELLOOOO SINISTEREENS! The clocks have been put back an hour, the pumpkin has been carved, the costume is nearly (almost?) planned out, and I'm ready for some cider...yes, indeed, the season has arrived! I have a pomegranite tree in my backyard...the fruits are hanging heavy and spilling onto the slatted patio covering. Some are even falling through and splattering onto the concrete like little bloody heads. It's all so very ghastly! And would you believe it, it's raining in Los Angeles today! Hooray! In the words of Lindsey Baker: "halloween shenanigens have hit the newsroom" HALLOWEEN IS A FOOT (especially when you're wearing Halloween socks!) ***************A SINISTER HALLOWEEN/FASHION REPORT******************** LINDSEY BAKER will dress as a blushing bride and says that she will continue to do so, just in case someone feels like tricking her into marriage, then she'll be dressed for the occasion! I have said for a while that if I ever get married I want it to be on Halloween so I can dress as The Bride of Frankenstein! My mother would be so proud! ;) AMY APPLE JACKS contemplated being Strawberry Shortcake or a Campbell's Soup Kid, but settled for the Old Coked Out Whore, which is scarier but doesn't smell nearly as yummy (or let's hope you don't prefer the scent!) My co-workers call me Strawberry Shortcake because of my red bowl haircut, but I have since thrown out my strawberry lipgloss (not really) because a certain boy I know hates to be reminded of his childhood and the aforementioned strawberry scented doll! He knows who he is ;) He don't love me, he just love my 'berry style! Truth is, I don't have a pinnafore. Or a pink cat. KIRSTEN KENYON wrote: "we drank some....and i found some shimmery blue powder and we started having fun....leslie got out shiny grey garbage bags, and we found glitter and tape....and within fifteen minutes we were three mod spacewomen, and i kept saying "meepmeep" and melissa kept walking with her arms at her sides and her hands out at a ninety degree angle, and leslie kept taking photographs." Yeah, Kirst, I expect to get some of these photos in my mailbox asap, I'll bet you looked cuuuute!!!! ;) I hope you didn't meepmeep the camera when leslie took the pics! ROBYN FADDEN wrote: " i put some wings and glitter on. and my red boots, which i really think are what fairies would wear if they needed shoes. later i drank some gin out of a jar for a while. from what i observed it seemed a lot of people were dressed as hunter s. thompson. or maybe just *like* him." I think fairies would definitely wear red boots, and drink gin out of a jar, but I think fairies might steer clear of Hunter S. but I suppose that's what the jar of gin is for!! LAURA LLEW wrote earlier this month: "for Halloween when I shall be Isadora Quagmire (http://www.lemonysnicket.com/tc_isadora.html) and yes, I plan to do that exact expression for the entire day and speak only in couplets." I am curious to know how that works out for you miss Llew!! I think you win a prize for the best costume idea!!!! ASM WALTON wrote: "Amy Apple Jacks mentioned Hallowe'en parties. I went to one last night, at Feather-Boa's house. It was fun. People were dressed in black with black nail polish and all the rest of it. List Lurkers Gina and Mr Hallifax were both in attendance, and there was at least one ex-member there too. I didn't see F-B. By all accounts she spent most of the night hugging her toilet." OHHHH NO, Feather Boa!!! Missed your own party because you had a hot date with some cold linoleum! :( I hope the rest of you lot had fun! And on a Halloween-related note, RACHEL CORNFLAKE wrote:"alas he told me I resembled Gargamel, the bad guy who was always trying to catch the Smurfs. OK, first I was a little frightened. But then he explained why: because when I'm not smiling, I look like I'm plotting something "sinister"!! He actually called me Sinister. Little does he know...." What a coincidence! I called my boss Gargamel the other day and he started laughing really really hard!!! He also was looking sinister! *******************SWINGIN' SINISTERS UNDER 20******************** Rachel Cornflake wrote: "I'm starting an imaginary club for Sinister kids. Those of us 20 and under. We'll embrace each other in our underage bliss. I just like to imagine frollicing with Astrid and Jenowl." Kate cut-up is in that crowd, too! As is Erin: Punctuation Menace. And Staralful. And Matt Henderson. I'm sure there are many more of you!!! Like Rachels Grapenut and Orange Juice, for instance! In rebuttal, Ken Chu said: "There has been a lot of talks about a Sinister under20's love club, I think it is grossly unfair idea, for I have just turned 21 a few months ago, and have therefore missed out." Well, Ken don't fret. There are plenty of us here who are over 20 as well. In fact, I am contemplating starting the imaginary Sinister Retirement Community (why are they always called "communities!") for all of the listees edging their way towards 30 and beyond. (yeah there must be like 3 or 4 of us on the list!) Luckily, Mr. Chu, we look young enough to join the youngsters at their makeout party, and act it, too! So we get the best of both worlds! By the way Chuey, what's your sign? ;) Do you post here often? Not to be a name dropper or anything, but SHAWN KRUEGER wrote: "Plus, I must surely be a lot older than the majority of you....and nothing good usually comes from listening to your elders." and he also posted a list of B&S's cover song performances which was grate! THANK YOU SHAWN!!! ***************THE ELATION OF (R)E-LATIONSHIPS******************** Caleb Ben (A.K.A. RAW) wrote: " of course this is all very sudden, i admit, but it's just such a marvelous feeling to revel in, i really think it's going to be THE fashionable thing to do this autumn. you'd be smart to jump on the wagon folks, cause the love train's about to leave the station.... :)" Well, I think Caleb Ben is right! Stamp my ticket, baby! I have butterfly stomach for Mr Ben Apps! Rach Cornflake wrote about her dilemma of whether or not to go visit her Pennsylvania boy over winter break. I'd say just be very careful. Be sure that you have a safe situation when you visit. I think it's good to meet, since you get along so well on the phone and through e-mails, so that it brings more realism into it. So I'd say yeah, check it out, but maybe bring a friend or something, be safe. And check out colleges while you're back east, for real! Especially if your visit with the boy goes well! ;) And just look what Chu had to say: "The moral of the story is.. um.. that girls should invite Ken out to dates soon. and that red bull is great." ********************MIXING TO BEAT DOWN YOUR WILL******************* Ken, the next time I come 'round your place to bribe you to win the Mixtape competition, will you go out with me? I think you already went out with me in your dreams, except my eyes are usually more blue than green, but maybe they just *looked* green in your dream because of all of the american dollars I was foolishly trying to slip to you across the table reflecting up in my eyes. Sure, I was trying to palm a c-note to you, but I also wanted to hold your hand, really. I swear. Desmond Torpey wrote: "...all this mixtaping is mighty confusing...i cant remember which will is which and whether rachel is a cornflake or a fruitloop so i'll stay out of it and just await the results...i've got �10 on the dastardly mr chu making a late entry and stealing the title himself with his army of fellow kens (livingstone,branagh,clarke etc)..my what a mixtape team that would be..." Well, don't fear Des, I will be introducing the Revolutionaries of the !Viva Rachels! movement in a post to come very soon! An army of Kens swooping in and winning the battle is a fairly far-fetched idea since we Rachels plan to keep Mr. Chu so "busy" that he won't have time for making mixtapes to beat us with. We're sending in our gratest ally to make sweet music with him, A certain miss Kirsten Kenyon! But he is very shrewd indeed... hmmm. Are you getting all of this, Rachels? Be on full alert! Punk Raque Jimmie G. wrote: "Anyways, I feel like a star because Shawn (of the dynamic due Shawn and Emily) mentioned me in a post, though he did call me "Jim Gilmer (the nicest man in Michigan)" Jim, I think Shawn might be right about that one, you are REALLY SWEET, you know! I'm a fan! And not just because you say I give good mix! ;) ******************BELLE & SEBASTIAN OBSERVATIONS********************* Daniela in Brazil wrote: "He said we had to leave that place cause the security guard could find us. But he asked us to follow him. We followed the guy, followed him a little bit more, and when we realized...WE WERE ON THE STAGE. WE WERE ON THE STAGE WITH B AND S WATCHING THEM PLAYING." Wow!!!! That is more than a twee triumph, that's a mighty conquering!!! Awesome Daniela! Hannah Brown wrote: "On friday me and some friends stayed up late and played cards, we put on "feeling sinister" and my friend told me that that album will always remind him of me. I thought that was a really grate thing to say and it made me smile for ages." This is a lovely compliment, indeed. I hope that someone says that to me someday, too! I think that's probably the nicest compliment when people tell you that music that you love reminds them of you! Rob S. wrote the most beautiful wonderful thing: "i look at the sky and think of how everything in my lifetime is going to change beyond recognition. and am i scared. maybe or maybe not. but thank you belle and sebastian, because never before have i so-much been able to apply your music to my life...." I couldn't agree with you more, Rob. The lyrics and music of Belle & Sebastian say everything I can't form into words, and that is why I can't imagine life without them. Even as I get older, the words still speak to me, in slightly new and different ways, but I think that is the most touching aspect of all. David Moore wrote:"That "Waking Up To Us" cover. Some people have referred to the "girl" in the photo, so I guess not everyone realises that it is Sarah (Martin)" I didn't know that, but now that you mention it... yeah, it's totally her, dude! She looks almost the same now, doesn't she? **********************AUTUMNAL RECKONINGS*************************** Archel, did you read what James Dancin' on the Hatchback wrote?: "This just in..Sainsburys 15p bread is no more. They've have replaced it with something of similar quality but upped the price to 19p, Bastards!" Archel Toast is now earning her bread money being the twee librarian type that we all adore!! Yippeee! She also wrote: "well, i missed out on my extra hour of sleep today as i forgot the clocks went back (despite reminding everyone i know yesterday)." I did the same thing, I felt like a dork. But I am glad that it has finally happened and now I feel such joy because even here in the L.A. area the season seems a bit more real. I don't like getting out of work when it's dark, but it's a trade-off! Maybe I'm just a weirdo, but I like to listen to certain albums during specific seasons. I LOVE to listen to the Cocteau Twins' album "Treasure" during this time of year! What do you all recommend out there? Robin wrote: "to think that a Pulp album came out last week and I'm not listening to it all the time is a bit depressing." I am also a bit depressed that their album is out and I don't even have it. I used to count down the days and collect every format, and this new album COULD BE making it's way into my Autumn album rotation, but... now, I'm just thinking that I'll get around to buying it eventually...am I getting old, or am I just lazy? Or is getting lazy a sign that you're getting on? I think that I might have to go buy this Poe album, because Jim's description has me swooning!!! And I quoth Jim Gilmer, evermore: "Does anyone else out there like Poe? I mean the singer, not old Edgar Allen. I've been listening to her album "Haunted" quite a bit lately, especially since I'm rereading her brother's utterly mad novel HOUSE OF LEAVES. "Haunted" is the perfect October album, it makes you feel like autumn and you can smell the burning leaves and see the colours changing on the trees in old, dark woods as you listen to it." Genevieve posted a grate poem "seeing as it's monday and all, that used to be The Sacred Feast of the Poetry Parrot." she also said of Blue Oyster Cult "my special friend cried out 'Not B.O.C! Horrible!' but that just made me laugh - I didn't know they were referred to as Bee Oh Cee." Yeah, you know I had no idea about B.O.C. but it sure is fun! I like to abbreviate things like saying "The H is O" instead of saying "The heat is on" but I stole that from Saturday Night Live. Maybe that's why I'm the only one who laughs when I say it. I also like to sing "The heater's on" to the tune of "The Heat Is On", and make my own horn section, whenever I have to turn on the heat. You should try it. And laughing at your own dorkiness and dancing around like an idiot really warms you up! I'm happy to hear that you're well enough to be back at uni, Fiona! I'm going to leave you with my favorite sinister quote from the last 2 days: "Yeah I'm making up my own holidays dude"-Kenneth P Y Chu Love to you all, (and huge hugs for Ryan, Elise & Sean, Juju, The Rachels, and Mr. B!)
