Sinister: indie football superstars & other old bollocks (*non B&S* london gig)
by Jim Taylor 07 Nov '01

07 Nov '01

I'm slightly confused to find myself actually posting to sinister. I suppose that's what comes of being ill for ages and actually having time to read digests, which rarely happens in my life. hello. i'm jim, i've been on a sinister for a while but obviously not properly. I do dip in and read bits, but volume stops me really managing any more than that. If anyone manages to change British work culture to having three day weekends i'd promise to read every post, and lots more besides. Fact is i am actually only working 3 days a week now, but at college 2, and supposed to be studying evenings (like now), and so have even better excuses for being busy than i used to. I'm not sure quite who out of the older pasty faced vegan geeks are still around, but its good to see so many new people. Being on sinister still feels an important thing, though when i turn up to picnics or B&S gigs or whatever i do have a sense of being a bit of a distant relative, seeing as i don't manage to follow what's going on fundamentally with the list. Having had some top times and met some loverly folks, it still does feel like a good family to be part of, and so i shall carry on randomly-skim-lurking if its alright with you lot. I'm in london UK btw, erm, and since martin robinson always commented on my turning up to sinster gatherings in (favourite) purple trousers, when i needed a temporary email address in a hurry i got this one, and haven't managed to lose it since. There's a number of things i've read recently, but seeing as i don't have much to contribute towards those things, i'll stick to what was the original reason to start this post a week or two back: I'm also slightly confused about the origins of the indie superstar team thing, but as Mr Carsmile ('props' {as i believe is the vernacular of the kidz} to him + all sinister kids who did londonindieusa) has already suggested, my dreamteam(s) have already manifested, and defeated notable indie celeb - teams such as (oh arse the archives don't work at the mo do they). well numerous indie bands were defeated on the hallowed tarmac of camber sands @ pontins over a couple of years, and heck calumn even recruited us the man Murdoch .....{oh, what happy hazy memories they are} well i've been promising for about two years to scan in a polaroid a bizarre young woman who was stalking my ex-flatmate (scary actual truth) took of most of our victorious team from ATPs 2000. I'm still promising. I was going to ask what happened to other photographic evidence of our finest footy hour? ( beyond the crappy that one (made crappy by me wandering off that Carsmile kindly linked)) thinking that can't be the only one taken just after we climbed those long steps to collect our bag of stella from Her Majesty can it? and indeed, a minimal amount of meandering around our beloved archivey piccieplace and i came over all gooey to find http://www.missprint.org/sinister/things/ATPSinisterFC.html. Bless. Us AND stuart Murdoch. Its on my noticeboard already :) I also found these fun accounts recently: (we WERE famous!) http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/200005/msg00022.html http://www.rockfeedback.com/tomorrowspartiesintro.htm http://www.playlouder.com/feature/035alltomorrowsparties/1.html So there, that is the dreamteam. done & dusted in my book. Similarly the narrowly defeated stalwarts from ?'99 (http://www.missprint.org/sinister/picnics/SinisterLooperteam1.html So my top geezers are: Rozza Rich Ali 'Pele' Cook Vince 'whereishenowmartin?' Rory http://www.missprint.org/sinister/people/Rory.html Calumn (ourpixielikemascotwithourtrophyonhisheadinmypolaroid) Dr.Sean Trousers (sadlyabsentfromthepolaroidforourvictoriousyear)http://www.missprint.org/sin… & from our year of so near and yet so far: mymatedamon Mark Casserole http://www.missprint.org/sinister/people/MarkC2.html Simonrorysmate USben http://www.missprint.org/sinister/people/Benjamin.html honourable mentions to supersub popkins http://www.missprint.org/sinister/picnics/TimFootie.html whose link also brings in cheerleader #3 pa Moore, ably accompanied by carsmile, starry and the like. i suppose this treacherous b'strd may have made it if he didn't have a habit of buggering off to play for the opposition or staying in bed and missing our finest hour. http://www.missprint.org/sinister/people/MartinR.html nice bloke (though not sure why he's naked in the photo). & since i distinctly remember talk of a proper goalie when Sinsiterfitba almost existed, i think there's the makings of worldbeaters there. They were really rather exciting footy matches at Camber Sands, right down to when i tried to let the opposition win by rolling the ball out to the their star striker and managing to get in the way of the shot somehow. I suppose i'm allowed to love Scmeichel now he pays for my beloved villa. The shouting thing definitely works for your own confidence. THAT was the bit i was good at :) I'd never won a lot at footy really, ATPs red plastic seaside bucket trophy, proudly adds to memories of the day the city uni library team shocked all comers and won the inaugural millennium trophy. And the london buddhist centre won the inter-buddhist centre 5-a-side competition this year. Hurrah! (i don't think i was supposed to be quite as competitive as i was, ho-hum) Well that's about as good as it gets form me, so i'll go back to another year or two of lurking. --------%snip%----------- well since i typed that i got some very sad news. the band whose name we borrowed (Slot Jockey) to gatecrash and thrash all comers to win the 'celebrity' (ahem) 5-a-side a couple of years back @ All Tomorrows Parties, certainly marking the Sinister List's finest football hour, [bear with me non-footy fans this is about music] were the bearers of said sad news. well for all those that wondered who the hell it was we pretended to be, i once described them in print (when i seemed to have an ability to describe music) as: SLOT JOCKEY "Great songs, great angles, different reasons, appreciation of space and silence" (Organ). The mighty Slot Jockey are described by the NME as "a seething lump of post rock sugar... fireworks every time" and "a see-saw between sulky interludes and brilliantly pissed off sonic crunchings". They see themselves as being "influenced by the New York noise of Pavement and Sonic Youth, and the New York melody of Neil Diamond". With their own refreshingly distinct very British slant - on singles such as their now rare debut 7" 'Sister Root' (Double Plus Records) - Slot Jockey ooze taut, skewed tunefulness and loud/quiet/LOUD dynamism, displaying a startling ability to spew out (barbed) hook laden nuggets of friction noise with apparent ease. Well due to emigration to Australia, what was to be an *album launch*, has very sadly turned in to a final gig, about which i'm pretty gutted. I thought one or two might be interested, in the last ever chance to see them. You have been warned. I'll buy you an onion bhaji if you think they're shite. (hey i'm not rich). 8.15pm (EIGHT BLOODY FIFTEEN (worst slot i've ever sodding known them to have)) monarch/barfly (chalk farm road) this saturday 10th Nov. (leaves time to get to upstairs of garage to see tender trap :-) it'll be a bit of a wake i guess. hopefully not too much of a whimper at that time. I'm gutted that a bunch of top people i only got to know cus i loved the band, are splitting up. maybe i'm naive at expecting bands to get a certain amount of recognition, but bloody hell, they deserved a notch or two more. well its your last chance, you've been warned. (not the other) jim P.S. My aunty's parrot (observed reciting poetry long ago) was telling me of a new dance they are doing in the Tyrol Region, called the Alpine Foxtrot. Sound familiar to anyone? you young whippersnappers you . sorry if i've missed things btw/made any faux pas. content: i quite like belle & sebastian you know. + i like the fact list mummies work so f'in hard for this to exist. ________________________________________________________________________ Sunday 18 November National Demonstration Against the War - London Called by Stop the War Coalition.

Sinister: two turntables and a microphone
by owen lowery 06 Nov '01

06 Nov '01

well hello my sinister chums im fresh out of the nursery though a few of you may remember me from days gone by when i was on the list. i had a penchant for silly nicknames stolen from terrible literature. my former self, the narrow wizard, is however, no more. it was nice being in the nursery, just reading posts and not being able to post anything back was cool. i didnt appreciate it so much first time round though, now however, i would recomend it to all the old hands at this game, it gives you a new perspective. there's been some talk of list crushes lately and i thought that id stick my oar into the debate 'cos the list crush is good fun and so needs no other justification for its existence. yeah so we might never get to meet our crushes, it doesn't matter really, as long as we have fun with them in whatever way. having said this id just like to add that in the old list crush system i was doing really well and my ego would appreciate it if that also happened under the new system. theres also been some talk of mix tape competitions and im all upset 'cos my name isn't popular enough to have a team associated with it. this is a damn shame 'cos it was my birthday on sunday (24 so i'll have to join kens club for people who dont qualify for under 20's or over 25's) and one of my mates gave me a set of record decks and a mixer (yes i do have some really cool friends) so i could actually do properly mixed mix tapes. well i could if it wasnt for the fact that i havent DJ'd professionally since 1996 and im a bit out of practice. i'll rephrase that, im a bit shit. oh time for an apology, Ola admitted to liking my old posts because of their cinnamon content, but as the wizard has been killed off ther'll be no more so sorry Ola. Typical of me to let a girl down just as she says she wants to meet a nice slim guy, DOH! well thats it for my ramblings today im off to lurk for a while hugs and shrugs owen so much depends upon a red wheel barrow glazed with rain water beside the white chickens (William Carlos Williams) http://www.care2.com - Get your Free e-mail account that helps save Wildlife! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: radioactive clams
by Rachel Playforth 06 Nov '01

06 Nov '01

the subject line is a tribute to lucy from scotland - welcome :) i thought i'd fill the last hour before starting my new job by writing to sinister. although many minutes have been wasted deleting the mysterious emails and attachments that have mounted up in my inbox over the weekend - perhaps the virus you were talking of, ruvi? but it seems that both computer (virus) and body (anthrax) are safe for now. (note to johnjohn: maybe that girl thought your cutiepie was anthrax-tainted?) i was in more mortal danger last night, however, at bonfire celebrations in lewes. standing a few feet from a man chucking burning barrels into the river was a highlight. small pyromaniacs in slipknot hoodies throwing bangers at me was more of a lowlight. but the biggest danger came from the cider and doughnuts i think. on the way to lewes, another young slipknotter was saying 'penny for the guy, and i'll tear this fiver in half'. i didn't like to tell him that he wouldn't get far in any capitalist venture like that. later, matt reported more younger generation idiocy (no offence to the sinister under-20s club, who are without exception intelligent and lovely). a boy came into his shop asking for lazy line painter jane. 'you won't have heard of it' he said, disdainfully scanning the hip hop merchandise. 'we haven't got it' said matt. 'well, have you got the album it comes from' said the boy... now i don't ever look down on people for not knowing every fact about music they like, but if you're going to present yourself as an expert... maybe it's not a good omen for my new job that i spilt water on a library book and have been trying to dry the pages with a hairdryer, so now it's gone a bit crunchy... but it's better than the time i dropped villette by charlotte bronte in a rockpool in pembrokeshire. having just read my last few digests, i was happy to see my two favourite sinister boys posting on monday one after the other. from that you can work out who you are for yourselves.... :) how did i manage to score a job where i don't have to go in until one o clock? best get dressed now though i suppose. luv archel xxx *************************************** archel(a)iname.com For the best in new writing on the web, visit www.buzzwords.org.uk Contact us on buzzwords(a)bigfoot.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: subject line! subject line! i'll give you subject line
by Rener 06 Nov '01

hello, i'm blinded from reading all 200 sini-mails that were waiting in my mailbox this morning ... and i'm very sleepy, so no real responses, only a couple of vague slug-trails of observations. 1) autumn and crunchy leaves and being wrapped up in a coat and seeing your breath on the air, i think we're agreed that all these things rule. 2) guy fawkes night is probably great fun, until someone aims a firework the wrong way and burns a hole in your forehead/arse/jumper. and i should know. 3) i was in london at the weekend, and flew back from london city airport to dublin last night. as our plane climbed into the air, we could see loads of bonfires and fireworks going off underneath us, all over the city! i'd never seen anything like it. it was magical. 4) my and dirtyvicar's pet coffee and milkshake place, cafe soleil in soho, is gone! in its place is a horrible trendy yuppie cafe. boo. we were annoyed. 5) i bought a northern soul compilation in selectadisc. i hope it's good. it's called The In Crowd ("oh no, you didn't buy *that* load of spank, did you? any compilation would have been better than that one, for heaven's sake. surely the 'are you a complete sap? then buy this record' sticker should have given you a clue, etc" - a chorus of northern soul sini-experts) 6) london is GRATE, but it really gets under your fingernails.

Sinister: these thighs that synthesize
by lisa morrison 06 Nov '01

06 Nov '01

its been a long, lonely time i've been away...doing list-dom things and people (obviously)...they don't call me the list-dom for nothing, so don't think i've just bee sitting back rearranging the leather and lace in my closet by color...no, lisa has been hard at work doing the things a list-dom does...boys, mostly...but causing a little muddle of trouble here and there as well... but so many new faces! sinister has become quite the colorful crowd, haven't we now?...very geometric, with solid shading...very art deco, but art deco is coming back around like bad karama... to update the rainbow of you: i've left college...all my professor were mid-sentence when i bolted leaving the lot of my work unfinished to run scantily clad in last spring semester's sunshine...i moved into a little 19th century rowhome just off west park that runs like a commune...all day it's people in and out, coming and going and strewn about at early hours on the wooden floors...peter (my new found sinister boy and not just flavor of the week- sorry brier and mr. burke) and i have to shut ourselves in my bedroom to keep from the constant cold that rushes in with every open and close of the front door...not that we mind being confined to such intimate quarters, but it does make clothes nessacary to tiptoe down the steps and into the kitchen for a cup of tea...pish... missed toy-ing with you all... but my chains are thoroughly polished and the whips are well oiled and waiting...step up to the proverbal plate... -listdomlisa ...peeking disheveled from beneath the blankets. _________________________________________________________________ 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: nothing hurts you like the pain of someone you love
by Rachel oj 06 Nov '01

06 Nov '01

darlings, well, "nothing hurts you like the pain of someone you love". that is so true. oh. i'm in big pains today. i'm feeling awfully low. everyone's going on about love now. oh, i don't even want to think about it really. love always seems to disappoint me anyway. i've got a really hard time trusting people. it haven't always been like that. that's one thing that love has done. dammit. right. i don't really think i've got anything fun to say, so maybe i should just go and do something else. like... once again, eating lots of chocolate? it do help. really. but if i'll continue eating this much chocolate, i'll be dead fat in the end of the month. so, my ex is refusing to leave me alone. damn him. i believe it's thru with monica, and now he wants me back. i love him, i really do, i cant help it! and i'm like... the weakest. i won't ever be able to say no to him as i thought i would. i could always dream on though. the wrong girl... no. the wrong boy. definetly. love, rachel oj ps. astrid's very sweet. _________________________________________________________________ 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: it's nice to perform to an audience of naked people...would you direct that fan over here? thank you very much.
by nafees saeed 06 Nov '01

06 Nov '01

hello. i broke somebody's nose today. but not intentionally, and not violently. well, i suppose you can't not violently break somebody's nose, but i wasn't being intentionally violent. anyway, i was walking into the bathroom and there was somebody on the other side of the door, and the door went straight into his face. there was blood everywhere and stuff, he was understanding and still addressed me as "mate", so i i haven't formed an enemy. which is always nice. i went to see bonnie prince billy on sunday night, which was great. it was a really small venue so it was a lot better, and he took requests, which was nice of him. i was going to make a request, but i couldn't decide which song i wanted to request so i just left it be. after seeing will oldham in person, i now think that he looks like a pirate. he has pirate shoes and a pirate's earing. there was a nice girl at the bonnie prince billy gig with pink hair and nice piercings (can piercings be nice?). we exchanged newspapers and phone numbers, so i'll hopefully see her piercings again. bonfire night was last night. i have a mixed reaction towards bonfire night...i like it but i don't. i like fireworks, but i don't like it when people set them off at 3 in the morning. i don't like being awoken by loud explosions...i just don't. i went to a bonfire last night, which was nice. it was good until some extraordinarily clever people turned up and decided it would be good to throw petrol-soaked rags on it. then it just went crazy and all the children left. including me. it's november already, which is weird. i know people probably say this every year but it has gone quickly. i can still remember things from last year in detail. the bad thing about this year is that it's going to be known for...that. ahh well. it's nice to see that the world is moving on a bit more. my local newspaper has stopped telling us how many terrorists once lived in manchester and have now gone back to the "door knobs stolen from local church" headlines. they weren't just any old door knobs. a pope once touched them. i really like the pope, i don't know why. i can't understand a word that he says but he does seem like a really nice guy. my english lesson got cancelled, so i came home early today, which meant that i got to see a bus driver i've never seen before. i know people shouldn't get excited about new bus drivers but i was. he's like the bus driver from the simpsons, otto. you when bus drivers drive past eachother they do that acknowledging raising of the hand thing? well this one presses his horn, and scares other drivers on the road...i laughed. i haven't got work to do for a while, so i can sleep...finally. take care, nafees. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Where the sky and water meet, where the waves grow sweet, doubt not reepicheep, to find all you seek, there is the utter east...
by Desmond Torpey 06 Nov '01

06 Nov '01

hello there... ..sinister seems to be very loved up at the moment...i like seeing people in love...i've never been there...only the stupid giddy kind of unrequited love...which gets tiresome after a while because you're daft and wont do anything about it..and then *thwack*..you see the person again and your stomach does a triple backflip and your knees have taken leave of your legs and your lungs have moved to honalulu leaving you a jibbering breathless wreck...sometimes i think i'll never be in love and sometimes i think i dont ever want to be..because once that first feeling fades and you are actually able to accomplish small household tasks without drifting off to loveland and dropping cutlery on your foot...is it fun anymore?..i dont know...i'm sure it is..i'm in the middle of a stupid situation at the minute..you know...i think shes looked at me the same way..and theres that silly awkward tension every time i see her...but maybe thats just coming from me and she's actually completely indifferent to me...and i'll probably never know because i'm awkward and stupid like that..yikes... why is wallpaper so terribly dull?...i'm currently in the middle of re-decorating my bedroom...it gives me something to do because i havent got a damm job...why cant they make crazy rainbow wallpaper which makes your eyes bleed if you stare at it for too long? Or bright green wallpaper which eliminates the need for lightbulbs? Or willy wonka style lickable wallpaper? that would be just wonderful...alas its all just tasteful pastel colours...perhaps i'll just keep it as it as the moment...completely bare walls with random splodges of white paint and plaster all over the floor..all i have in their is a batterd old armchair and an acoustic guitar...and its FREEZING....all very ken loach..and all bluddy depressing...it suits the time of year.. ...by far the best thing about clearing out my room is finding all the books i used to read which have been under the bed for years...i can stop proper grown up reading for a while and enjoy 'the alchymists cat' again...and 'voyage of the dawn treader'..i'd forgotten how absolutelyfantasticallywonderful the chronicles of narnia were..who needs harry potter when you have reepicheep?...oh its dark already and its only 4.40..hmmmm..thank you for your time.. ta ta.. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
