Sinister: Beano on the Radio
by Neil Robertson 11 Oct '01

11 Oct '01

If anyone finds themselves sitting next to a computer with speakers tomorrow (Friday 12th), you could do worse than listen to Hi-Karate radio on.. www.radiomagnetic.com/Listen/index.htm between 4 and 6 PM. There you will find Beans Geddes doing a DJ set. It'll be archived, but it'll be more exciting live.

Hello. I need all of those who replied to my last message about the lastest issue of No Compass to reply again as my computer at home has crashed and is being repaired, but it'll take a few weeks to get it back and find your e-mails again. Sorry. For those who didn't read last the message, No Compass 3 is out. It's a British 'zine and has interviews with V/VM, Mum (the two girls who appear on the front of the Belle and Sebastian album, "Fold your hands child..." are members of this band) and PostaLowa. It features some music reviews and live reviews including Belle and Sebastian in Ipswich. In the Uk it costs £1 plus 41p postage and for Europe and the rest of the World it'll be different, I'll go check that out. I'm putting out the PostaLowa CD, details on the web site. Also if anyone has any ideas of where to sell the fanzine & the CD ,i.e. shops, mail order people and distributors then please reply too.

Sinister: The Mix Battle.
by Tim Banning 11 Oct '01

11 Oct '01

Hi. I am (though not a rachel,will or chris) would like to participate in the Mix Tape Battle. I just need to be picked by a team, please don't pick me last! on another, yet drawn out note, (promise to be the last, last one) I finally heard the strokes. very very impressed, thought I only had $11.86 in my pocket so I was a dollar short. oh well, sorry to bring this damn thing up again. I am wondering if there are any sinisterees that live in the Santa Barbara area? I don't think I have anything else to say, have fun. 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: Kale Goes Stale on Rocks called Waves
by Gordon 10 Oct '01

10 Oct '01

Ok, erm,.. woops..eek; tripped up. Gosh! So many fine and Posts, yes. you're rather good you know, like the woman in a basque the other night: you're really rather beautiful and I never really noticed. Well, ok, I did. She was as well. A fiddle is the same as a violin; the difference is contained within the manner of holding it and the composure of one's left wrist [that is, if the player is right handed, and on the sinister list perhaps this isn't the right thing to say] a violinist usually distances the shoulder from the base of the instrument via a 'chin rest' (although some of the best players manage to dispense with this) and their left had is crooked at the wrist so as to facilitate dexterous (!) movement of the fingers up and down the strings and over them. A fiddler, on the other hand, rests his palm on the underside of the neck, which does the job required in folk music but would end up lacking in that required of some of the works in the classical canon. Or so the theory goes. If one progresses to Shoenberg, on can get out a saw instead, and I've heard that the Aphex Twin owns a submarine. Which is more undersea than underhand. "Hullo! What a jolly gigue! Now tell me, is this a periscope here?" Sandy Denny: isn't that a girl? One moment... darnit! he's not on my 'French Affair' double CD compilation but I've seen the name around Pl. Ste. Michel. I'll just have to listen to the theme tune to 'Emanuelle' then. Ooh.. and Je T'Aime.. comes right, left all over afterwards. I should shave but I won't! so there! Veni veni veni wrote the leacherous monks behind Carmina Burana, which reminds me of fiddling... whilst Rome burns, or the madness of King George the III, or, delusions of grandpa. Deleuze-moi. I have an idea.I shall attempt Morningside Crescent.

Sinister: Sllew Graffiti
by Ken Chu 10 Oct '01

There's a 'pooter in my bedroom that's been on for days upon which I relent and gaze for hours on the darkish humour tones of some Internetty friends So how about it? So is this what I will do in 20 years? Let me please Interpret history in every lines of words that's written there in front of me It doesn't matter what I'm thinking What I tell myself to do I end up writing... I stay in to to defrost the fridge When I'm tired I'd go to bed feeling of dread What if when I come round there's no posts here It's the worst to wake up without any posts to read Listen Kenny You're like a dobber to all those posts you've fallen for And you're still falling Listen Kenny You're like a dobber to all those girls you've fallen for And you're still falling And if they come tonight You'll roll up tight, and read what ever that's coming to you next.

Sinister: there is a place in hell for me and my friends
by caleb ben moore 10 Oct '01

10 Oct '01

i'm quite jealous of all of you out there who can actually associate with other sinisterians, go out and have fun and talk about your love for belle and sebastian, funny hijinx and witty remarks and whatnot. i DO enjoy reading about it all, though. it makes me feel alot less lonely to know that you guys for the most live the way i do over here in the middle of the nowhere. we all have similiar interests and problems and a unique way of relating to the world. all my friends here, though i love them to death, just aren't quite there. they make fun of me for listening to the music i love, especially (for some odd reason) steely dan. tell me: does anyone else out there like steely dan? well i'm i'm sure SOMEBODY else my age in this wide world must. and i'm willing to bet that they are on this sinister list, reading this right now. why am i ranting about steely dan? i don't know! i just wanted to say that i appreciate the sinisterians. i feel like you are all a bunch of people just as screwed up and lovely & beautifully fated feeling as i am. no offense or anything. 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!?

Sinister: If you Chuse, you Llewse
by Laura Llew 10 Oct '01

10 Oct '01

"Daddy, what's an optimist?" said Pat to Mike while they were walking down the street together one day. "One who thought that Laura Llew wasn't going to prance around posting pretending she was Dorthy Parker anymore," replied the absentminded professor, as he wound up the cat and put the clock out. I'm fettered in a flurry of a fluster! Oh how I was all primed to join in the rank and file of sinister sentimantality which has been steadily streaming along! In one hand I have lain a last lone summer bloom of a violet ready to press in between sad tear stained pages and in the other lays my hankerchief (hand embroidered.. in blue). Did you think I could not be nostalgic as well? Did you think that all I suffered in my own little Dogpatch of North Carolina were farmers lolling about with their pigs and daisy duke distilling potent liquor while we all smoked corncob pipes while coping with social climbers and frauds from the outside world? Don't you think I look cute in this new corduroy John Deere hat? Oh how I was going to pine for Peter Miller that is. I had an eulogy ready and everything. *clears throat* My love flew like a butterfly Until death swooped down like a bat As the poet Emma Montana McElroy said "That's the end of that" However, not only did he not leave the list but he's still posting. Fine, Petre - I don't miss you either! ***WIDE WIDE WORLD OF WRESTLING: WILLZEBUBS VERSUS RACHEELS:*** So, now sentimentality has been shoddily set aside and we're drowning in a debacle over names & their puns. (Doesn't that sound like a bad show topic for a talk show? "NAMES: And The Llewsers Who Chu-se Bad Puns For Them - Next on Ella Minnow Pea) To list a few so we can get it out of the way & Will Porter can come out from under his bed: - Fire at Will - Where there's a Will there's a way and then the biblical: - Sacrifice Your Will Even I am susceptible to such follies. Once my roommate was being overly dramatic and complaining of how something was going to kill her so when I tried to nudge her to movement she said, "Not now - I'm writing my Will." I looked at the boy named Will who was in our apartment at the time (I believe he was laying on the floor flapping his arms up and down making carpet angels) and said, "We don't want to hear about your love letters." Jen, I tried to do a direct quote but I can't find it in the archives. However, there was pining for the absence of a Sinister William Harris at the Washington or Oregon picnic earlier. Have you ever met a Will Harris? They're a dodgy sort indeed. I'm not saying they bite but there is a thing called CHAPSTICK KISSES which strike fear in my heart. I've been chased over half the state of Utah but somehow managed to avoid them for the most part. The Will in the story above was a William Harris. Once he asked if I would set him up with a girl who had asked me out a few times. (I suppose he thought she wasn't so picky). So, I tried and she was game until I described Will as tall, dark, and handsome with the clarification of - taller than a pygamy but not as dark as one. She stopped talking to me. In fact, I haven't heard from her in the three years since. Oh well, now Will is married to another girl who I think he's pretty serious about so that's that. ***SINISTER PICNICS: Don't you have ants in England? Why yes, but I never hear from them.*** I was proud to see that I made an appearance at a Sinister picnic. You can see it for yourself at http://robster75.tripod.com/embra3.jpg Though I'm especially fond of Honey, I'm not the bee. No, I'm on Ken's chest (and wondering if he'll make us all proud with a smutty comment about sometime make an appearance on my chest.) Yes! I'm responsible for one of his badges. Let's guess which one I am!! 1. With my feathered hair and turned up collar, am I the quinnessential 80s fan and responsible for "Camera Obscura"? 2. Slide out of my way Jewel Shepherd! Am I the "Porn Star"? 3. With my hotpants, my tube top and fashionable footwear am I all about the purple "bowling" badge? ***NAME CHECKS: My bratwurst has a first name. It's F-R-I-T-Z. My bratwurst has a second name. It's S-C-H-N-A-C-K-E-N-P-H-E-F-F-E-R-H-A-U-S-E-N*** Now it's time for Laura Llew to make random comments on other people's post! Helen hailed, "Although wearing them outside means that you get odd looks and possibly sniggers, but if Pamela Anderson can do it, then dammit so can I." I'm not in anyway a fashion guru but I'm guessing that using Pamela Anderson as an example to justify one's clothing (or lack thereof) choice could get you into trouble Maddie murmered, "Do you want to be a Sinister Super Hero? Can you kick ass/arse? Do you look simply stunning in lycra? Do you have an allitervative name?" Why yes! Yes! (I kick ass. I'm american - we don't have arses.) Yes! (I get stopped on the street frequently to be told how absolutely flattering lycra would be on me) Yes! Can I be the superhero who fights minor crime. None of this saving the world from world domination and international syndication of the Drew Carey Show but the small things - people wearing white after labor day, not using their turn signal, having slightly used girls try to sell your Wockenfuss. Off to save the day, Laura "meeting all of your Laura Llew needs since 1977" PS - Big thanks and llots of llove to Paltry Paul (I'm listening to your cds now. Awww!), Dahling Stacey, Billzebub, Jamesest, Dreamsy Breamsy, PrimitivePainter (who still must post his The State I Am In theory!), my fellow (sister) Spinisterine Vel, and everyone else who thought of me (and Ken who in his ultimate generosity offered to kiss me) last Tuesday. Weeeeeeee! Plus, HUGE SHOUTS, much admiration, love, hugs, kisses, and general overall worship to JIMMY G who had my future cabanna boy, Stuart Murdoch, autograph a ticket to one of the western B&S shows for me. I went so weak in the knees when I saw it.. and then as soon as I regained strength I jumped up and down lots while yippeeying for Glee. PPS - If I post this quickly enough, I'll be right next to James Thorniley on the list of posts in the archives and won't that be cozy? Oh wait - nevermind. Damn you Michael Vance (well, if you're lucky) & Steely Dan - you ruined it all! _________________________________________________________________ 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: I wish it was the sixties I wish we could be happy....
by James Thorniley 10 Oct '01

10 Oct '01

Hello once again. How's things? I've just been catching up with sinister because I got a bit behind. I saw Dahling in London the other day, me and Dafyd took her to Greenwich to have a mini-picnic, and Daf pretended he knew what all the buildings in London were and we gave her the shittest sightseeing tour ever. Then she tried to take a photo of us but her camera was broke. And then there were no trains back to waterloo and we took a round trip on the Docklands Light Railway and Jubilee line, which involved a change at canary wharf, which was scary when we suddenly found ourselves at the bottom of the tower and it is *very* nice. We felt out of place with the businessmen walking around. It was nice though. Dafyd brought me some presents from another listee which was also fab. Super. The news is a bit depressing recently. Most of it anyway, except the story about Jedi becoming a religion in this country because enough people put it on their census form. Hehehe! I think it's funny anyway. "Boxers or briefs?"...."Nope." So? Boxers or briefs? It's a curious question. Which is the norm? Honestly now? Does everyone assume it's boxers cos that's what the hard kids wear? Do skinny indie boys wear briefs? I mean I do, so that makes one skinny indie boy, but what about the rest of you? Hmm? How about we take sweepstakes on what Ken Chu is wearing then pull his trousers down to find the answer! So Ribena people fund animal testing? This is shocking. I hate ribena anyway, it tastes like sugary water (maybe thats the point). Not the first twee icon to turn sour though, did you know S Club 7 got caught smoking marijhuana in Leicester Square? (old news but just in case you missed it). It thoroughly fits their image I think. And on the news the other day I saw that the Easter bunny isn't real. Can you believe that? It turns out the Powerpuff Girls are actually Russian spies too. Well the band I'm in disbanded and reformed again. It's good this time we have a genius drummer. Super. We wrote a nice song the other day (I liked it anyway). It wasn't about lesbians this time (I actually had nothing to do with the writing of the lesbian song btw), I'm not actually sure was it's about, but it's quite sad. And we did a cover of "You're the one that I want" from Grease. I need to wee. See you later.
