Sinister: Sinister Chicago get together!!!
by JAMES GILMER 09 Nov '01

09 Nov '01

Calling all Chicago area Sinisters!! Who's up for a get together? Maybe an afternoon at the art instituite or something similar and then a bit of dinner and maybe a drink or three? I owe Elise a visit soon and I was hoping we could hook up a sinister get together. Next weekend might be a bit soon for some people, as some of us may need to ask for the day off work or what not, and the next weekend is thanksgiving weekend, which I'm sure will keep us all busy. That leaves the last weekend in November, which makes that saturday December 1st. That gives us time to make arraingements and the weather shouldn't be too harsh yet. So what do people think? Write the list or drop me a line. Oh, apologies to people I owe emails to. I'm feeling a bit crap this week, but I'll get back to you all soon. Shouts out to the C-town crew, and special shouts to Elise, Sean, the lovely Llew, and a "meepmeep" to the sinister noodle goddess. Hope to see some of you soon.

Sinister: The CHUnited States of KENlamity, hey!

HELOOOOOOO SINISTERINES! It used to be that as I read your posts I could just copy the bits that appealed to me into my own draft for the list and then post about 2 times a week, but y'all are so prolific that I am finding that to unify our voices, it's taking more like 3 posts a week to keep them in a readable format! I just hope that it isn't too tiresome for you... I always get paranoid that I'm posting to often or too much. And Carsmile Steve will be happy to hear that I re-read the rules and I am also paranoid about pasting too many quotes and not writing enough of my own. Hi Carsmile! ;) I think my paranoia is what makes me so fruitloopy. Or maybe I'm just a fan of Black Sabbath. You be the judge! I'll warn you now, I'll be posting a lot again soon! I have really only been able to read carefully through posts up until Tuesday! Rich. Gil. wrote: "but sometimes. when I'm reading. it feels like I'm writing. I had imagined there was more than there is." It's a funny thing to weave a tapestry of the current threads, because it does seem to me like there was more than there is, too! When I'm reading I feel like I'm writing... but probably because I am! ***************************WELCOME!!****************************** "Like a powerful Jedi telling an apprentice that he�s doing good." (eh, Jose?!) I'd like to give a loud shout out to Jose Emanuel!!!! and WELCOME to Lucyebrown!!!! Grate introductory posts, Lucy and Jose! **************************LOVESPELL******************************* Photo-Cola-Cube Jenni Cay wrote: "I go over to talk to him and introduce myself whereupon he comes out with the best chat-up line I've heard in ages."I've been drawing a lot of naked women recently." And when I went "Oh really?" He replied "Yeah, tourists will do anything for a tenner..." God bless pissed Arts students." Ooh, I love bad pick-up lines! My favorite right now is to approach someone and feel the sleeve of their shirt or the collar and say "Is this felt?" and when they say "no" or just look confused, I say "It is now" and run my hand down their arm or chest, depending on how well I know them/how much I've had to drink! They usually laugh. usually. Chris Jones wrote: "What I find amusing is the string of women Mr. Walton has following him wherever he goes. Like the Pied Piper, only different." Different because the rats have boobies? And because THEY want the piper to pay THEM for blowing his flute? And Chris, you're important. But it hasn't made me ease up on my posting (and your Sarah Martin style kung fu chop will be the most action I've seen in a while!) Dimitra wrote about long distance relationships/list crushes: "When I'm walking the streets of my town, and they for some reason look particularly beautiful. I know there's someone wishing he was there with me. That there is someone who'd like me to think of him. And I always thought, or rather, no, I have discovered, that the actual part of a relationship, what makes it *it*, is having someone in your mind and in your heart. And near your soul." This is particularly beautiful to me because I like to think of letting people into my heart and soul. I like to imagine that the mundane world can be cut out like bruised spots on an apple, and at the core of me is an idea, a seed, if you will... for love. Awww! :) Will Salt wrote: "I had an idea the other day for a Grand Project. I want to write my autobiography in pictures, because it would be much better than words." and then he went into things not to be confused with other things, and Through The Looking Glass. Take a picture of this one for your book, Salt. This post left no doubt in my mind that you RAQUE my world! So much for Wills v. Rachels rivalry... I've got a crush on the adversary. *sigh* I'm so ashamed. Johnjohn wrote: "i plucked up the courage after hours to ask her to dance with me, and my bestest attempts to make her smile or giggle ended up in vein as �i'll be right back� really meant �sorry� and i never saw her for the rest of the evening�.and that is why i am never chasing a girl again." And then Danny wrote: "I remember sitting in my room hatching a masterplan to woo her over, i decided on a poem rather than a wee cute sweetie because i knew she liked poetry." I wrote an extremely seductive poem to my Smartly Dressed friend. He said that it made him blush, but I think that he liked it. Although, it didn't really fuel the fire of passion between us as I had hoped it would. Kids, it just goes to show that our talents of picking out lovehearts and writing poetry don't necessarily go unnoticed, just not as inspirational to the objects of our affection as we had hoped to be. I think next time I will avoid all of the niceties and just shove him up against the wall and have my way with him. Cos, geez, what a waste of a good poem!!!! Rich.Gil. wrote: "crushvoting: isn't the anonymity a wee bit...? hey. I wondered who had sent. but. then. I stopped." Yeah, well, I think it's really fun to be crushed anonymously but so much MORE FUN when you find out who it is and you can sweet-talk eachother! Isn't that right Benny-bunny? That is, until the Super Furry Animals quotes run out! ;) Keep the crush votes coming, they're grate!! Guess what!? People listened to what I said! I said: "I want to have a Sinister 'List Date' on Friday night" and now a bunch of us are meeting up at Buca di Beppo in Pasadena on Green St for dinner at 9! Yay! L.A. Sinisterines unite! We'll see about the "take over" part! Full report coming this weekend! It will be Grrrrrate! Joe "Rachel Pancake" Vester wrote: "Fruitloop (my team-mate), when you were 15, all the boys like me were hanging around wondering why all the girls didn't like us and neither did most of the boys." You're right Joe, you boys were probably there all along when I was 15, but I was too busy dating the cool 19-year-old with the piercings and the motorcycle (to upset my parents, of course!) Damn! Talk about a role reversal! I'm such a dirty old lady now, going 'round with barely legals and such! A couple more years Joe, and watch out!! You won't be able to keep the girls OR boys away! ;) Lovely Juju Cat wrote: "boys are dumb, i guess. they want something, and want to chase it, and sometimes they do.. but this one, he wants something, but just sits there dreaming about it, putting me off like he doesn't have the time.. what does it mean?" Oh Juju! It means that he's not willing to do the work to make it a reality, or that he's so self-centered and caught up in the idea that there's something to chase that he doesn't feel that he even needs to go through the motions. In esscence, he is satisfied with the *idea* of chasing an idea. It can only spell heartache and frustration, my sweet! I, personally, don't have time for the dood who will not even be lured into a good chase. And really, it shouldn't even come to that, you're so super cool and pretty that any boy reading this now would be *lucky* to have your attention, Juju! Lindsey lou was ill. I hope you get better soon, luv! I loved Lindsey's wondering "why the bed is called a twin-size when it only ever holds one." good question. I suppose by choosing to sleep in a twin bed, I can't exactly complain about it being empty, can I? I suppose you can't either. I suppose we need to go buy new big kid beds and then we can complain about the emptiness of the middle-matress lovers! Piddlemonkey the Rachel Griddlemonkey wrote: "I would quite like to just sit next to her, and hold her hand. without saying a word." Oooh, this idea is nice. I like the thought of seeing a certain somebody but not saying a word to eachother, and how romantic it would be if he stood near me and just reached over to hold my hand. Holding hands is terribly cute. I am into it. Such innocent affection. Warms a girl's heart, I tell ya! Stacey Dahling quoted Carson McCullers:"And the curt truth is that, in a deep secret way, the state of being beloved is intolerable to many, the beloved fears and hates the lover, and with the best of reasons." This quote is so very true, I think. that's why "the chase" happens at all. I think I like being chased much more now than I used to. It brings up a lot of self-doubt when you are the adored rather than the adorer. Big Stu wrote: "List crushes are all well and good, but really we all want some down-and-dirty Sinister loving. None of this pansying about emailing people in different countries, just get on with it. Then we can create a whole new generation of B&S fans, and the world will be a better place." Yes, indeed. Except for like Astrid was saying not too long ago about singing Belle & Sebastian someday whilst taking the kids to school and how the kids will probably hate b&s because kids rebel against their parents. So we must all pretend to love terrible music so our love children will have grate taste! Vanessa wrote: "I wish human relationships would work the same way as my ZoneAlarm firewall does." I think we develop a sense for these things with experience, and although the warnings don't pop up as blatantly as they do with your firewall, you can develop a sense about when somebody isn't going to be nice to you or when you have withstood enough torture. Unfortunately, we don't always heed the warnings! Believe me when I say that I don't listen to me, either! Jim Gilmer quoted his friend Erin as saying "Fuck love, fuck it with knives!!" That is *such* a grate answer for occasions when someone says "I love you" and you don't understand why they're saying it to you when it's so inappropriate! Lalala la you're so vain, I bet you think this post is about you.... Madeleine wrote: "I have decided to stop being so nice about people in my posts as it only makes them vain, like Big Stu Gardiner." ha ha! That was a good one! But be nice to me in your posts Mad, or I'll *cry* like Big Stu is over there hiding behind that chair! ;) **************************THIS IS MUSIC*************************** The sushi waiter Tim Banning (His play opens tomorrow night! Break a leg, Tim!) said: "They called Belle and Sebastian a "Simon and Garfunkle cover band". Fare enough, considering he has a Linkin Park CD and likes it." Ecchhhh! A bit of trivia: at my old job, we did all the merchandising for Linkin Park on the web because the president of the company is one of the guitar player's father. So, I knew about Linkin Park before they were rock stars and they were called "Zero" and then "Hybrid Theory" and have gone bowling with some of them, etc. You think that their fans have any idea that Linkin Park FIRED their old singer because Warner Brothers didn't like him and they wanted a deal? Warner Brothers also found their singer Chester for them. So much for formulated boy bands just being the 'Nsync type! JoPerry (not to be confused with Joe Perry, Aerosmith guitarist) wrote: "i feel obliged and somehow sad to mention was that a rather rumbunctous man swore at me when i mentioned them (B&S) in a musicy conversation. How blinkin rude. Mind you his Parker coat was grubby so i felt superior anyway." Yeah, I don't know why people can't handle talking about Belle & Sebastian as having any musical credibility, and it pisses me off! Especially after seeing them live. They are far more superior to a lot of popular bands around these days. Besides this fact, why do people tend to be so rude about it? I think they're threatened because they KNOW b&s rule the school deep down and they're just not twee enough to admit it!! Chris Jones wrote: "WHEN IS SAMANTHA MUMBA JOINING B&S?" Didn't CHU know, she was one of the original members and got kicked out for an accessive use of Big Sexy Hair hairspray! JenOwl wrote: "And this became the legendary episode of me teaching Dino from Fear Factory how to play Bigmouth Strikes Again and some of String Bean Jean. " That is the stuff that dreams are made of!!! I can't even picture it! Please tell me that somebody recorded this event for your pictoral autobiography!!! Hey, I just thought of something really funny I have on an audio tape somewhere: Brett Anderson from Suede singing "SubMission" by the Sex Pistols completely drunk off his arse on Jagermeister! Not very "fey" of him at all! Robin Stout wrote: "La la la... I love my car, I love my.. Oh no that's 'Lady In Red', let's try again..." When I read that I laughed so hard that milk came out of my nose, and I wasn't even drinking milk! Jim Gilmer wrote: "It's a bit weird to look around and realize no one's even bobbing their heads. I mean, honestly, there's an amazing band pumping out insane amount of noise and ace beats and these people look like dogs being shown a card trick." UM YA, WHAT-EVER! *Rachie makes an "L" with her finger and thumb to her forehead* I don't know WHAT this new trend is with people not dancing very much at all! Especially to bands like Quasi and Stereolab, or BELLE & SEBASTIAN!! Carmel echoed the sentiment when she wrote: "That made me want to cry because how could you NOT dance to B&S??" Yeah, I know that probably everybody reading this right now would be dancing their legs down to the knees, right? Come on, I did it *on stage* in between Stu and Isobel, you lot can certainly shake a tailfeather out in the crowd! Plus, I think it helps the whole energy of a show if the band can see everyone getting into the groove! Carmel wrote: "there is a little article about Belle and Sebastian's show in Portland in a recent issue of Spin. It has a really cute picture of Stuart talking to the audience and describes the feeling of the crowd that night pretty well." The picture is too small, though. B&S should have gotten the cover instead of Kid Rock! *****************************FUN STUFF**************************** Big Stu, korfball sounds like something that Gordon Schumway would play. You know, ALF? Alien Life Form? No problem? Ate cats? Ring a bell? Kyla wrote: "one doesn't expect to be preached to by a naked fat elvis impersonator with a penchant for publicly consuming his own piss. but one would be wrong." That was a super-duper crazy story alright!!! I liked it. It kind of made me sick, yet made me happy that there are such CRAZY people out there making their "art". Just as long as they are not in MY neighborhood bringin' the property value down, maaaan! Welcome Beth, who sent a first post! Beth jumped right in like double-dutch with this comment to Will: "Wouldn't it be fantastic to smoke loads of opium in the name of art?" Hmmm. The Wills are probably crazy enough to do it. maybe the Chris', too. I think the Rachels are too scared to smoke opium. At least, this one is! Tom flashboy is back and he eluded to: "someday I will tell you about the "half-naked Jonny Vegas calling a barn dance while wearning a pink stetson" incident. Oh, I will tell you...." and he also named his cows some quite adorable names! So? Where's our story, TOM?! Astrid wrote: "I met an old lady that lives in our house. She looks like she�s 100 years old, she is so cool." When I read this I kept picturing that Astrid was talking about a ghost in her house... Is she a ghost or a live person? Cynical Fiona wrote the most amusing pairing of sentences: "i'm making myself angry now so I'll stop. I can't wait for christmas ;-)" Jim Gilmer wrote "This is why we need jetpacks and flying cars. They'd make sinister drink-ups so much easier." Yes, indeed, I agree. If we're still going to have horrible wars and destruction I want my damn jetpack and my flying car! I'll come to visit you Elise and Kirsten, and to Primrose Hill for Mr. Bunny Apps, I'll make a Chu stop, and follow the big hunk Asm around a bit, and then make a Llew stop, and a Mandee May stop... and then I'll get you, adorable Jimmy G.! Oh, I'll get you.... ***************************!VIVA RACHELS!************************** Rachel O.J. wrote: "i'm so looking forward to the mix-tape-battle! the rachels is going to show you all how grate we are!! it'll be lovely!" Yes, indeed! 2 of the Rachels will be at my house this weekend (Miss Cornflake and Miss Cheeriodle) and we will continue working on the mix!! So far, SO GOOD!!! You Wills and Chris' should be shakin' in yer boots!!! Nik Ovenden wrote: "Under-20's club Isn't this a bit cliquey? Along with the Rachel/Will cold war ensuing, shouldn't we be striving for group unity? I don't know..." Well Nik, I'm glad to inform you that not only do many of the Rachels have crushes on Judge Chu, but this Rachel is smitten with not only Will Salt, but also Chris Pez!! *Rachie hides head waiting for rotten tomatoes to be chucked* Also, I tend to get locked out of the Sinister Retirement Community for missing curfew whilst taking out the barely legals of the Under-20's set, so I personaly am ALL FOR the group unity, believe me! In more ways than one! ************************HOMEFRONT********************************** Stacey Dahling wrote: "But it�s disconcerting to realize one day that the entire nature of your home has changed dramatically. And it�s probably a good thing that I will be forced to be social. But. But. But. I dunno." Yes, Stacey, I am still suffereing in the face of my brother's irresponsibility, our household is not fun. I can relate to the sudden crowded feeling. Now, my brother said that he was coming to get his stuff and move to Nevada, that was after he ran off and got married and we didn't hear from him for 2 weeks. He got fired from his job. He and his wife flew out here, and her friend was supposed to *give* them a car. (who the hell just *gives* you a car?!) When they went to pick it up it had been towed, and his wife got mad at the friend and told her that she had to pay for them to get back to Nevada because they had no other way back. The friend, of course, didn't! So they sat around my house for a week. The wife lost her job in Nevada. Our parents loaned them money to rent a truck and they moved all of the wife's stuff and her 2 little dogs into our house, so that my brother's *band* could be cultivated for probably another seven years or so out here. Meanwhile, he paid his portion of the rent for November, so I am trying to be patient, but if they don't get jobs and their own apartment by November 30th I don't care, they are OUT! Oh my brothers and sisters, can I get a *JERRY*JERRY*JERRY* He had a stroke at the age of 24, I think. My brother is just not right in the head! Grrrr! Tracy Ebberts wrote: "her father tells me this morning that he is ready to head off to seattle...and if it means leaving hayley, so be it... and my heart is breaking in a million different ways... the funny thing is...this is why i like b&s..." This is so sad that your daughter's daddy is moving far away. I like that you are making a parallel to B&S in such a heart-wrenching situation. I won't say that I'm *jealous* that you have something so IMPORTANT to relate to their music, but definitely in awe of it, in a sense. Mostly I just feel sad for your little family and I'm sorry because that would be unimaginable to have a child and see her in this situation! I hope it all works out ok. *****************************NATURE***************************** Amy "Rachel AppleJacks" Longcore wrote of the sunset:"all that crazy pink and orange seemingly hitting the earth with a somehow fierce softness." That is utterly gorgeous Amy. I like the fierce softness of the sunset. I miss the sunset since the time change. Now it's dark when I go home from work and I used to be just in time for the sunset. This is what Chris Pez wrote that made my heart melt: "i lay on my bed face down 'till it was dark. i watched the sodium lamp outside my window flick on and then change from a deep red to the orange glow we all know and love. the clouds changed from huge stratospheric to thin straggling horizontal. like great expectations, but the only uprights in the scene were telegraph poles, not jibbets." It gives me chills, it's so pretty. He claims to have been drunk when he wrote it... this Chris must be a total chick magnet! ;) Genevieve wrote: "Imagine that - in Los Angeles that have pomegranate trees!" Yes, indeed! And lots and lots of citrus! I'll invite you over for pomegranites and huge bumpy lemons that grow from a tree that is spliced together with a naval orange tree, and you'd think that the lemons would be sweet or the oranges would be sour, but they actually grow on different boughs! There's pink grapefruits but they have their own tree, and small red apples that sometimes grow big if the squirrels and worms don't get them first. It's like an orchard back there, and if I had a jaccuzzi we could get lobster red and then roll around in February... well, dirt and grass, because we don't get snow where I live. It snowed once in 1988. I remember. I had pneumonia and broke a rib coughing. I stayed home from school and played Nintendo for about a month! Archel Toast wrote: "but it's better than the time i dropped villette by charlotte bronte in a rockpool in pembrokeshire." This struck me as really hilarious because it's awful that you spilled water on a library book and had to blow it dry under a dryer! But to say this is like saying "it's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick" only more twee! *********************DIDN'T CHU KNOW? by JenOwl******************** "Oh, and if there are any complete geeks in glasgow, near the Belgrove Hotel where all the crazy drunk homeless men stand outside and spew, theres a place called Chu's Cuisine. So ken, you've been found out. You sell kebabs to alcholics." ***********************FAVORITE QUOTES***************************** "I may be loves bitch, but I'm not man enough to admit it."--Will Spike "The world might just be magical after all."--Dimitra **************************************************************** Well, I shall see you L.A. kids tomorrow night!

Sinister: i recall central park in fall-how you tore your dress -what a mess
by staralful - 08 Nov '01

08 Nov '01

hello everyone i hope this finds you all in fine fettle. Right this email suprisingly enough for me is a) content laden and b) politically (for the most part) neutral. 1) content part well my tail has been wagging ever since the rumors starting flying and being confirmed about the gig in belfast. A city that i a) know little about and b) a place that i up untill last night had no real urge to go to. But that all changed yesterday. Anyway i am now quite excited as they are playing a city that is (checks map) only 350 ish miles away from where i live-that is 2 train rides or failing that 2 bus journeys. Anyway from what i have read the gig is supported by the frames ( a rather good irish band) and is £16.50. AND apparntly there is a bus organised up from Dublin- is there any chance we could have the info before Tuesday WHY KEEP US WAITING. Anywho fellow irish men and irish women i call on you today to all attend the gig as i want to know how dirty the dirty vicar is. Right on a completly different tangent i was wondering if there are/were any listees en paris because i am taking a wee trip there in the spring with a couple of friends and was wondering if any one could offer advice as to a) the nice arroidismonts to stay in (and by that i mean the cheapest with out it being the marais) and b)the nice places to hang out as we want to see real paris and not just the touristee stuff which while nice have all been seen before i suppose i should for the sake of things i need to throw in some controversy-------------------no i can't be arsed good night ****staralful***** "Are you calling Mr Simpson a liar?"-----" Not exactly -but we do have this fottage of him with his pants on fire" _________________________________________________________________ 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: whatever happened to that vhs
by Snoozer/ Maíra Ezequiel 08 Nov '01

08 Nov '01

Hello all you sinister addicted people from around the world. I'm very sorry for spending so much time with no reply about the recording of B&S's gig on Rio. Many of you sent me requests of the tape. I'd be very glad to send it... if there was ever a recording! I was so desperately mad about what happened, that i had to spend some time without even thinking about it. And what really happened was: the great tv network (Multishow) cut the broadcasting after 4 B&S songs! Not mentioning they had already cut Sigur Rigos' right in the middle of a highly involving climax part of a song. I was pissed off, but sure that, as headliners, there would be no trouble for the scottish. Trouble was for me: frustration and great expectation for the next day trip/ concert itself. AND I WAS THERE. They're so cute. Me and Má were completely in love with the performance. Truly beautiful. "we rule the school". I could never imagine they would do this one. The most exciting ones for the audience and the ones i got really emotional were: "Sleep the clock around", "The Model", "Judy & the dream of horses", "Baby" (her voice was beaauuutiful!!!) and "legal man" in the end. It's amazing how great musicians they are. Everybody plays everything, it's so nice... Sigur Rós was amazing. But few people there got into it. Grandaddy was ok. I prefer the record, i guess. THERE'S STILL HOPE. For the ones who still hope to see B&S on VHS, good quality, nice camera work and brazilian audience going crazy, a chance is what we've got!!! >From 19th, current month, Multishow is going to show 5 of the Festival's concerts, and they're gonna be the 5 most voted and requested from the viewers, that vote on the website. I've been there voting for Belle And Sebastian about twenty times. But I'm pretty sure they're going to show them, because THEY KNOW WHAT THEY DID. A lot of people have complained about it. So, why don't you lovely sinistereens from cold distant places go to www.multishow.com.br look for a banner (i guess that's how we call) for the Free Jazz Festival and vote on the sweetest band in the world??? :.) I finally made it through the hundred mesgs i got since i came back. And we came with a lot of things going in our heads. São Paulo is really something. Perhaps, next post.

Sinister: Do go there to cool your hands in the grey twilight of Gothic things
by JohnnyNYC 08 Nov '01

08 Nov '01

My Own Boy, Your sonnet is quite lovely, and it is a marvel that those red-roseleaf lips of yours should be made no less for the madness of music and song than for the madness of kissing. Your slim gilt soul walks between passion and poetry. I know Hyacinthus, whom Apollo loved so madly, was you in Greek days. Why are you alone in London, and when do you go to Salisbury? Do go there to cool your hands in the grey twilight of Gothic things, and come here whenever you like. It is a lovely place and lacks only you; but go to Salisbury first. Always, with undying love, Yours, OSCAR. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Ere long done do does did.
by John Jennings 08 Nov '01

08 Nov '01

Moornin' people. Ooh crikey i'm very nervous about posting again after all this time. ok well actually i'm not that nervous, i just think putting something like that is compulsory isn't it? Lots of people seem to be getting ill don't they, get well if you are, probably because of the cold weather methinks (ooh there was snow today! snow snow snow!) aanyways, talking of being ill, thanks to the (4) people who sent me worried emails about me' ears, they're now healed and fine, but i'm never flying air2000 again. crikey no. thats a warning to all you cheap-flight-buyers as well. anyways, now i'm fit and healthy again i shall be back touring the sinister picnics faster than you can say 'who the hell is john jennings anyway?'. how exciting. By means of john peel and tapes from friends i have finally heard all of the new single. i thought they played 'waking up...' at birmingham but i don't remember it. 'tis still grate though, i love my car is infinately better though methinks. btw i read somewhere... some paper i think... that 'storytelling' (film) is out on november 30th in the uk, and december something or other in the us. not sure if this is right or not, but shouldn't the soundtrack follow fairly closely? i get the feeling you've already discussed this somewhere actually and i just missed it though. sorry if thats the case. Ooh someone noticed my b&s badges today, a good 5 months after their placement.... it involved lots of stunned silence on my part, and i asked her if she was on sinister, and she gave me a funny look and got off the bus at the next stop. i think she must have misheard me. or else she heard me perfectly well. hmm... i was looking through my cds that i haven't listened to for ages and i found an old alanis morissette single, from 1995. it doesn't seem like six years ago does it? it bought back lots of memories, of me in my first couple of years of comprehensive school in nottingham with all my rebel friends (yes i am that young), listening to their alanis morissette cds and smoking tea leaves. hehe. i bet they all like death metal and are hard drug users by now. crikey. or maybe they like belle and sebastian and everything is fine and happy and sweet. probably not. ooh i've just reinstalled icq... last time i installed it i used it purely to immerse myself in college gossip but now it seems to have no meaningful purpose at all, other than to waste time... which i suppose is a very meaningful purpose actually.. 31539885 if you want to fill my meaningless-gossip void. hurrah. i've just agreed to play my viola in a band called 'esme and the go-fields'. sigh. and what was the point of this email i hear you ask. well i don't know. if you can find a point, well thats good. dum de dum.

Sinister: my friend's in a band...they're called "left testicle".
by nafees saeed 08 Nov '01

08 Nov '01

i'm sporting a plaster on the side of my head now. i haven't worn a plaster since i was about 12. i always used to like the novelty of wearing a plaster for about two hours but then i got bored of them. so ripped them off and made my cuts ten times worse. anyway, now i'm i can wear my plasters for more than two hours and i can appreciate their usefulness. i got my cut in the most foolish way possible. i was in a rush to get to college this morning so i ran out of the front door. because it's winter there's ice around now, and the door ledge was icey so i slipped up. then i fell over on the concrete. because i had my bag on i fell to my side in one swift motion. it would've been better to not have had my bag on so then i could've at least raised my arms to protect myself, but instead my head hit the floor. for once i had a decent excuse for being late for my class, "why are you late nafees?"...."oh you know...fell out of the door...the usual". the only bad thing about wearing a plaster is explaining to everybody why you're actually wearing a plaster. which induces the laughter and sniggers. after reading about ken's *almost* encounter with a celebrity, i thought it would be fitting to tell about mine the other day which i forgot to mention. when i was at the bonnie prince billy gig waiting for my friend i saw a pasty faced, floppy fringed man in big glasses and a big brown tweed jacket. yup, it was jarvis cocker. i was surprised actually, because i always thought he was really tall...but he's not. but he is however, really skinny. i didn't speak to him but i did do the acknowledging nodding of the head that seems to be innate with all northerners. -- i went looking for a job yesterday, but i didn't find one. well i got application forms and one interview. but i'm not sure i want the job i have an interview for, but as i my mother was quick to remind me...beggars can't be choosers. i'm not very good at filling in forms, mainly because i don't know how to answer them. it's those silly questions like "what qualities do you possess?" and "why do you feel you are suitable for this job?" that throw me. i am however, good at filling in the questions that go "name", "address", "telephone number". i need to fill them in by saturday so i suppose i better start tomorrow. i need to make a CV too. ack. too much stuff to do. it would be nice if there was a job that paid you for doing whatever you wanted. has anybody else noticed that there seems to be a lot of B & Q warehouses opening recently, or is it just in north west area? george bush used the phrase "kodak moment" today. take care, nafees. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: schoolbook angel
by AN 08 Nov '01

08 Nov '01

Hiy Bubblegums! I'm starting to go back to comprehensive school habits. Skipping classes, sneaking off, "forgetting" to do homework, slacking...And yes I do feel ashamed of myself, but how can one fight one's nature? And this is adult school, mind. Everyone seems to be so responsible and ambitious, except for me and my friend. (I'm glad there's two of us). I wasn't going to let this happen, I thought before I started adult school. And then it happened anyway. Shame. Yesterday I went out, again. Wednesday. Remind me to avoid Wednesday nights out. I felt old, though I was not the oldest. And the whole crowd was about 15 people sitting down and drinking beer and 15 people dancing to shitty techno music on the floor. And me trying to make conversation with the loo. Wrong place at the wrong time, I'll stick to the weekends from now on, I think. Everytime I go out nowadays I seem to be having these little run-ins with the toilet (not including all the times I go there to pee, because everything I drink just flows right through my inner systems). I don't know why. Guess it could be the cigarettes. Or all the cider I'm always drinking, cause I don't like beer. Maybe I should start ordering drinks instead. Maybe Red bull+vodka? Or maybe not that. At least having had enough after 3 ciders means fairly cheap nights. I looked through some old comic magazines the other day and found an ex of Care Bears! So cute, from the 80's. The sweet little bears with symbols with magical powers on their bellies. I decided to print one of them on a t-shirt, but I couldn't find any good images on the internet. Now I have one of Sleepy(?) Bear asleep on a big half moon :) I liked Mr Gilmer's impression of "Judy and the dream of horses". "Poor bugger's built this image of Judy in his head, a Judy he's sure he knows, and if the real Judy pours out all her unhappiness, tells him how she really feels, then his image gets shattered, and he never really knew her." I've never thought of it that way. It's kind of sad. To think you know someone really well, only to discover you don't know the person at all. B&S songs are sad. Still they make me smile. Cunning Andre wrote: "I did my usual thing, sitting down near the back, so that I can people-watch without feeling crowded." So maybe I'm not that odd, liking to sit near the back of the bus watching everyone getting on and off. I would probably make it a hobby, riding buses, if it was free and if I had the time, and if I wasn't afraid of being looked upon as a lunatic. For the moment I only take the bus to and from school. I've often thought about getting on a bus and just go with it, anywhere. And I've imagined ending up on the countryside, or in a village somewhere, or just out in nowhere. It would be interesting, though I think I'll save that trip til summer returns. It's too goddamn cold right now, to end up being stuck miles from civilisation (though I don't think buses would drop you off in such a place...I could be wrong though) There's been talk about sinister age clubs. I feel like I don't fit in anywhere. I think I'll start a 21's Only-club. HA! ;-) That Rachel fruitloop keeps impressing me. Those poor fingers must be working themselves weary. I hope you don't feel you have to write summarys cause it's expected. You make good impression anyway. All your posts are good! ..I've seen her write it all down cause of all the things she sees.. Is there really a thing as "too late to chase girls"? Isn't it just that later in life it will be referred to as "to charm women"? It all comes down to the same thing! I'm still waiting for the right boy to charm me, and if you lot try to tell him it's too late I'll smack your arses! ;-) (that's supposed to be a punishment, not a reward, mind) Lucky girl Astrid got to see the swedish band "Edson" recently. They're very very nice. I saw them this summer at a festival. Sitting in the grass, eating sandwiches, drinking Festis, relaxing and just listening to the mellow soft tunes of Edson. Simply grate. A certain Kenneth P Y (now WHU could that be?) ordered the girls to use the reply button......I believe the reply button works the other way around as well? This is the end. My stomach has its on will, and right now it wills me into the kitchen.

Sinister: Fold your hands child, you walk like Karl Marx.
by Timothy Meskers 08 Nov '01

08 Nov '01

Hi folks, Just wanted to pop out for a bit and say hi. I've actually got some content to report, although it may not be as exciting as others. 6 CHILDREN (Correlation a-lert!) Not sure if anyone's mentioned this, but I noticed an intriguing similarity between FYHCYWLAP and Marx & Engels. And that similarity is Saturday meals. "Saturday meals?" You say. "Yes," I reply. "Saturday meals." '..but I know for a fact there are a thousand Saturday meals being made and a thousand Saturday plans being hatched to drink and be senseless..' -Jesus & The Hipsters vignette, FYHC liner notes. '..there a thousand meals being made on Saturday..' -(Rumour has it these are) 'Marx & Engels' lyrics. Something to think about. Can you believe Karl Marx had six children? That's something else to think about entirely. Or maybe I just made that up. EVERYBODY'S LEARNING HOW. 'I love my Carl. I love my Brian, my Dennis and my Al. I could even find it in my hear to love Mike Love.' -(Rumour has it these are) Lyrics to 'I Love My Car.' Carl Wilson, Brian Wilson, Dennis Wilson, Al Jardine, and Mike Love, cousin of the Wilson brothers, were members of the popular American group 'The Beach Boys.' If someone knows who the names dropped in Shoot the Sexual Athlete are, please enlighten us. Another request: tabs for Lord Anthony? THE PERSONAL BITS. Things have been going well with me for the most part. I'm going to see the (International) Noise Conspiracy next Sunday. I have been listening to a lot of Donovan lately and liking it, which might or might not be a good thing. I haven't worked at my librarian job for awhile. School is going decently. Eugenia added a third member. If you recieve Kara's Sinister mixtape you will hopefully hear an old demo of ours (if I can get out to post in soon, sorry it's taking so long). We should pay that girl that does the big summaries. That's a lot of work. Keep up the story Andre. I like your writing style. Ken, if the famous Red Bull Dozers ever tour the States give me a call. That eXtreme Elvis story was incredibly.. something. But incredible nonetheless. I enjoyed the excerpt on the lover and beloved as well. Good work everyone. The mood around these parts is great and I hope you all are happy. Love, Timothy. xoxo _________________________________________________________________ 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.
