Sinister: and then along comes mary.....

i work in an accounting office in downtown minneapolis. all i do is stand in front of a giant copy machine all day and make thousands of copies of whatever people want. mainly financial statements. ocassionally pictures of Dusty Springfield. it's horribly boring but at least i get to listen to the radio. every friday morning the local non-commercial radio station plays 3 hours of non-stop zydeco and cajun music. i don't know if any of you are familiar with zydeco, but i love it. it puts me in such a good mood! all that french howling and accordian.... get to work, eat an egg & bacon biscuit, knock back a few red bulls, turn on the radio and make some copies..... on non-zydeco days i listen to 770 radio k, and they play all my requests. alot of smiths and b&s, and clientele. in other news....... This sentence is false. think about that one for a minute. strange isn't it? how many of you out there are married? i'm curious. i'm standing in a wedding tommorrow and i've been thinking alot about how it must feel to actually be the one getting married. it must feel like the night before your first day of high school. maybe not, but thats how i look at it. i'm nervous cause i have to wear a tuxedo in front of everyone! i hate being constricted.....and without my scarf to protect and warm my vulnerable neck! anyway, i'm rambling........you all should go out in the sun or the mist or the gray day and listen to The Association, ok? it's a perfect day for making out....... ta! caleb ben ===== 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!?

Re: Sinister: Get out of the office. . .

Hey sinisterians, Reading Katie's e-mail this morning really brightened my mood. I was having a terrible morning. The greedy, ugly hounds that are the Student Loan's Company tried to take money from me last year and I ended up getting fined £65 by my bank. I've been trying to claim this money back ever since but to no avail. I received another totally ununderstanding letter from them this morning. But anyways... Yes... I heartily agree with Katie's call for more midweek fun. It's easy to fall into the trap of spending Monday to Friday wishing it was the weekend. But, we shouldn't be wishing our lives away like this. I don't want to look back on my life and regret spending 5/7ths of it 'willing' it to be the weekend. Life's too short. I also thought her comments regarding R&B were very, very funny but I would suggest that garage music is a much greater evil. Maybe, garage falls under the category of R & B... I'm not sure. I have actually taken the painful step of sacrificing listening to my two buddies Mark and Lard on Radio 1, because the station has been totally taken over by garage and R & B. That's about it for now. Thanks, Katie. Take care all, 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: Glasgow listees; November 9th?
by Mouche75＠aol.com 12 Oct '01

12 Oct '01

Hi, I hope this isn't tantamount to list abuse, but there is a story attached to this; the first time i ever posted to sinister i asked if anyone wanted to help me put on an indie night in glasgow... so... well, this is for all the folks who replied to me... I finally managed to sort it out, and it'll be called The National Pop League. at the risk of repeating myself for anyone who follows the jeepster forums too... (clears throat) Anyone who kicks around Glasgow will know that there are hardly any nights playing old fashioned indie you can dance to. So I've decided to put on one myself. It's on Friday 9 November, from 9pm till 2am, at the Woodside Social Club. Which is about a minute's walk from Kelvinbridge underground station. And we'll play shillyshallying C86-ish stuff like Talulah Gosh and The Shop Assistants, and lots of Belles stuff, and Smiths, and lots of noisy stuff, and lots of deft chord-surfing indiepop, and occasional hot cuts from the Electric Boogaloo series, and Hot Butter by Popcorn, and old punk records, and the Aislers Set, and Dexy's, and and just about any request we can meet. It'll cost ya £2 to get in, and if you need any more info, get in touch, because if lots of folk come we can put it on regularly. Mark it down as a civic duty. Oh, and if anyone would like to help publicise in any way, let me know and I'll let you in for nip and buy you a drink. (ends announcement) so if anyone wants to help, or lend support, or say hello, or get more info, or ask for a song to be played or anything like that, please mail me off list. and thanks for your indulgence. mouche. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: the laziness of a massive-novel reader
by Sarah Garrett Sonner 12 Oct '01

12 Oct '01

Sinister: Like many, I am filled with angst. Like some, I am in London. Like the witty, I will rely on HEADINGS, LIKE AEOLUS It's been ages since my last de-lurk. Apologies for disappointing those of you who opened this message expecting it to be from Ken Chu, and then also apologies to Mr Chu himself for stealing his time-honored subject style. I have an alliterative name though, does that get me something? Perhaps if I were blessed with my own personal Editor I would know such things as deadlines, and even editing, and would rally my wit in this forum more than once per annum. I would ask Peter Miller to oblige, but I bet he's already booked solid, and I couldn't take it if he left again. SHOVE IT I'm behind the times, but I only just got ahold of Jonathan David. The clock song is my favorite, by far, and I know I'm echoing other people in the archives when I say I'm disappointed in the version of "Loneliness" that was included. I prefer my scratchy taped Tube copy, cause there they sound like they're having some fun. What's that feeling you get when you hear something and you realize you just have to hear it several times every day for at least the next month or you won't be able to breathe? I was hoping it would happen with JD and renew flagging faith, but maybe next time. WHO HAVE BEEN CALLED BY SOME "THE NEW STROKES" I missed it the first time around, and heard the live recording of the White Stripes just the other night. (During one of my weeknight dates with John Peel.) I never thought anything could remind me of both the Cramps and Bobby Conn. (The latter being a unique entertainer local to Chicago.) It managed to make me get up and move around my room like the rock 'n' roll dork that I am. (Those of you attending the LondonIndieUSA thing tomorrow also risk seeing such movement. If I drink. Enough.) Though I couldn't help but notice the formula of blues guitar licks + catchy drum beat + quirky vocals + pithy lyrics = time-tested rock recipe. Not to diss it--maybe it's about time I appreciate a good tune just because and not question things so damn much. "KANSAS CITY" So, just a guess here that no one else was engrossed by the A&E "biography" of Lieber & Stoller, with all its mention of the Brill building and such? Admittedly, that was broadcast in America back in August, when I was "away." I was surprised to find out how much of pop music's "standards" they'd written, and how they didn't really want to write for Elvis anymore after a certain point, because he was too popular and they'd rather write "dirtier" songs. Is it the song's writer that influences, or the musicians that play it? I LOVE THE CITY And these questions of latest big indie things and who's writing the popular songs now got me thinking about Hefner. I still think Darren writes good songs, even if now the band plays them with more things plugged in than before. His songs hold up pretty well as such, nevermind instrumentation. Perhaps in the sixties he would have been one of those guys hired by a studio just to write, the payola men having perhaps peremptorily dismissed his voice as unfit for radio of the day. I don't have the album yet, just the Alan Bean single, but I love the last part of "A Better Man," and the combination of everything there. Those minutes are like a really good milkshake. Hmm, that image was much more wholesome than I thought myself capable of, and certainly more wholesome than Hefner deserve. FROM THE HEART OF THE AMERICAN METROPOLIS And having now arrived in a postcode near some of you, I'll make my way to Farringdon on Friday. I was planning to go by foot, but my Luddite--or is it Amish--ambitions will probably be quashed by my predominant laziness. If anyone wants to meet up for pre-event libations, give a shout. It's a shame for a lady to drink alone you know, and I've spent too many nights, chin in hand, wondering where one must go to dance to Ladytron and their ilk in this town. 1 2 3 4 baby see you later, xo Sarah (and sorry too for the following list abuse) PS 1: If Velocity Girl is around, could you send me your address? I want to finally say hello and thank you properly before I swoon from guilt. PS 2: David Strange, I've lost your e-mail as well. Darn transatlantic moves. Let me know if you're out there. I'm losing everything, even my train of _________________________________________________________________ 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: what did I make of the cool set in london
by Jules Markham 11 Oct '01

11 Oct '01

Hello ribena-drinking, jaffa-cake-munching tweefolk, So I've been silent of late, and apologies to anyone who is waiting for me to write letters/send toys, I've been mired in a spirit ditch of late. It got so bad that my impenitrably accented doctor has put me on prozac (I'm such a bleeding stereotype!) but the funniest thing has to be the box it comes in, bright orange with seventies designs all over it (surely designed to throw you into the pit of despair!) It's my own fault really, as I refused the other stuff he offered me as it came in gelatine capsules (his argument was 'eees only a leetle bit!') hmph Mike's campaign to Make Jules Happy has been successful, we went to london to visit my friend Alice and her boyfriend martin. He had the Lucksmiths, a posse of twee australians who you've probably never heard of staying in his pokey 'big for london' flat while they played some gigs there. We saw them play at some place called spitz, but martin didnt play because the other half of his band was in leeds or something. Airport girl played, and I growled at the rude londoners for talking while they sang. Then I went and chatted to Tali, who got the guilts about the fact that their tshirts were somewhere across the atlantic. So I bought some singles, and gave them to Mikey. Then Mikey saw Darren from Hefner get turned away from the venue because it was full, and felt smug because we had better contacts that the stroppy one from hefner- yaay (Jack is so much nicer, and he isnt at all scared when you interview him for a student paper and offer toys while asking bizarre questions about daytime television). Then tali and his minimal band bounced onto the stage, and he sang and played drums, which is pretty bloody impressive if you ask me! We jumped about a lot and martin got really drunk and danced around the PA system. We were invited to go see them again when martin's band would be supporting, but that would clash with seeing hefner in manchester... We staggered back to alice's, a little addled but in good humour, and went to some car boot sale in the morning. I bought alice some fuzzy felt and a noah's ark game and bought mike some beads. Then on the coach journey home we had to wait in a layby of the M1 for two hours for an AA man to come look at a loose wheel nut (according to the driver, it could have been 'slightly fatal' to leave it) but made it home by midnight, and the cats had missed us. aww. _________________________________________________________________ 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're my favorite Stuart David
by ArtsyDeco＠aol.com 11 Oct '01

11 Oct '01

Hi. Hello. There are officially four of those fashionable stuart david impersonaters attending my school. I'm especially fond of stuart number three because he's got the most uncanny resemblance, and a tendency to walk with his head down. I can't ever talk to these people because the realization that not a one of them is in fact stuart david would be too much for me. I find that in going to college having an assumed little fantasy world helps immensely. My friend Jody likes Belle and Sebastian. She usually listens pretty much only to reggae type stuff because she's from Jamaica. She agrees with me that Electronic Renaissance causes involuntary head bobbing. Jody's boyfriend lives nearby. So does my friend Mareika's. I won't deny that I'm jealous as hell. I wish I had taken a year off after high school, moved to england, then started college. I don't feel like going home at all anymore. I find that my house makes me feel listless and depressed. This could have something to do with being in my house undoubtedly involving scrutiny and arguments with my mother. Convincing my mother of anything is as difficult as teaching a hippo to do gymnastics. Of course it's all worth it in the end when you a presented with the pure visual comedy of a hippo holding itself perfectly still upsidedown on the rings. It's even better once you get him to do the uneven bars. The Will&Rachel&Chris&Bob&Eustace&Lucius etc. tape contest sounds very exciting. I remember there was another Kara on this list at some point. We were going to take over the world, but that plan for world domination fell apart like so many others. What are we going to do tonight Kara? The same thing we do every night Kara... In the world of mixtapes, I am still hoping to make sinister mixtape. Several people expressed to me a desire to have their own music put on the tape, and so far only KenChu and Ben Apps have delivered. I was delighted to receive Mr. Apps tape as getting mail is one of the highlights of my entire life here at school. I vote that Ben Apps be named most huggable on this list (aside from my personal choice for a hugging partner, the wonderful Peter Carter.) So yes, if there are still those of you out there who want to send me your music, email me. Otherwise I'm going to go ahead and make the tape. I saw a red bull ad on tv the other day Ken. I think it helped some vikings row across the whole ocean or something. love and vikings, Kara Jean* +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Get out of the office. . .
by Odle, Katharine 11 Oct '01

11 Oct '01

Dear Sinisterines, Today is one of those maddening days when every office cliche seems to be coming true. Having slept poorly (at least that's my excuse for today), I came in about forty-five minutes late. Usually I can slide in and thread my way to my desk without too much notice, but today I got stopped in the hall by a particularly perky Office Slave who tapped his watch, and with a sly Perma-Grin, commented, "Well, guess you're not the early bird getting the worm this morning, huh?! O, well-- it's almost Friday!" Is getting a worm supposed to be an incentive? Also, it's irritating how we're always in the midst of a countdown to Friday, which begins on Monday. No one seems to know what day it actually is-- it's always ___ days til Friday. So then I got back to my desk, and the radio had already been claimed by an office mate. There is a covert radio war going on in my office, which is the size of a small bedroom, but contains five desks and a long "workstation," which is actually a euphemism for "place on which to pile up random crap." On this particular morning, the radio was tuned to an especially soulful R&B station. It always amazes me how many syllables can be contained in one line of an R&B song. For instance, the line, "You are so pretty, girl," (an actual line contained in numerous songs I've heard since 9:15) can be extended to actually contain thirty-five syllables, most of which are in the word "girl." In addition, each syllable has a different note, as the singer's voice travels up and down the range with reckless abandon. It's horrid! However, I suppose I should be grateful that the office Metal Head did not stake her claim on the radio. Those times are the worst. I can't even hear myself think over the drums and screeching guitars, which are puntuated by inane commentary by the djs, who usually make at least one reference to various parts of the female anatomy. Sometimes I am lucky, and everyone else will be out or arrive later than me, and I will get the radio all to myself, and I will play B&S to my heart's content! It's funny-- we never talk about the radio war, and no one ever mentions that they despise the other people's musical taste. We just carry on, and jump at our chances when we have them. Although my supervisor did once make a comment that went like this, "I always know when Katie has the radio, because there's always something weird playing." That seems uncalled for! Last week, I mentioned to dear Rachel Fruitloop that I am undertaking the goal of having more fun, especially mid-week. I am finding it more and more necessary to break up the monotony of the workweek. Last night, i did so by having dinner with two very close friends. It was lovely, because we walked to a little restaurant that was lit entirely by strings of white lights and candles, and we ate good food and drank good wine and laughed and laughed. One of those times that are so sublimely wonderful that you almost remove yourself from it for a moment, and think, "My god, I'm HAPPY!" It was lovely, and much-needed. I hope that you are all doing well, and have some sublime moments of your own today. Love, Katie (Cheeriodle, Honorary Rachel-- ready to do Mix-Tape Battle!) P.S.-- Only two days til Friday. Or so I hear. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Los CharliesOrNEWliterature
by pablo espinoza 11 Oct '01

11 Oct '01

Is there a site where you can get geeky information on equipment used in belle and sebastian recordings? I curious as hell as to what keyboards wee chriss uses in legal man. Or what kid of guitar stu used in the sinister record. I love the posts of Kristen Kenyon, and Astrid , etc etc. I love it that for me, for a long time, their stories embodied all that I really love and appreciate in this cruel world. Such people are really quite brilliant and their writtings leave me wanting more. Recently I discovered that one of my friends is one of these people. Writting about such lovely things as gambling, rocky relationships and radiohead posters hanging from shoe laces in a chain record store. Sorely he doesn't even know he's cool in that way. He'd shoot me if he found out i reprinted this in some pesky mailing list, especially for a band he listens to just so he can get get laid. (by pretty indied chicks no less!) Cheers to all. ************************** Story/Journal Entry/Good Writting starts here ************************** (this is a response after he'd , "much like jesus turning pepsi into coke" turned 100 bucks into 800 in an Southern California Indian reservation casino. ) That whole event has given me an impetus to keep going back. I went last weekend and lost a honeybee. This weekend is looking the same as last. I didn't do much with my winnings. $500 went to my car, $100 back in the casino, $100 on frivolity, and the last bits and pieces are in my wallet. How are you doing? I took yesterday off and watched Joe the King and Training Day. I also won two Radiohead lithographs from the wherehouse. I went to claim them and the store guys kinda jerked my around. "Hey, Monte, winner boy is here. He's won the grand prize?" "Grand prize?" "Yeah. Go fetch this man his GRAND prize." It was two small posters stuck on black construction paper. My "prize" hung from the ceiling via shoelaces. I'm sure some employee thought it was clever and probably was comended for it. It was shitty. I still put them on my wall. How's the bass going and the songwriting? I've practing vocals, but I still need help. Everythings the same. Ellen and I are rocky. and I'm still playing in rascuache. At the last show two girls kinda hit on me. One was obvious. She said band members should be aways be single so the fans could give something back to them. peace out. _________________________________________________________________ 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.
