Pardon the cheesy subject line please. Anyway... There was a time not in the distant past when I would actually delete all the Sinister emails I got *gasp*. Now while I now that I deserve to suffer an eternity of listening to Metallica records at 66 rpm for my sins, I beg that you all will be a forgiving lot. Now that I'm not only reading them all (really), but I'm writing, I feel like a better person. Yeah I'm going to get to new single this evening yayaya it should brighten up this otherwise stupidly dull day. I'm gonna go for a run first though, which could be bad cos I haven't run in almost a month. Oh well you gotta live somehow. peace bri +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: mon petit cowboy

hey-lo sinisters well at the moment i'm very frustrated with the international telephone services. how difficult does it have to be to call a mobile phone in estonia? very, apparently. the phone gods are laughing at ulla and i. well.......we'll see who comes off victorious in the end. juju said some very nice things about me and my posts. THANKS JUJU! YOU'RE ACE. apparently pablo neruda was quoted in someone's post. ahhh.....nothing goes better with, well....anything actually, than pablo neruda. he is a true voice of the earth and of its desperate creatures. EVERYONE SHOULD READ EVERYTHING BY PABLO NERUDA. especially the love sonnets. i'm not asking, i'm telling. trust me. just relax. and what the gentleman said at the end about nerudas poetry being the easiest way to get into an indie girls pants.....absolutely true. he just writes the most incredibly romantic poetry ever written! in my humble opinion of course. you know what? i just found out that the girl i love (and who loves me back) has the exact same birthday as me! that's right! the fabulous sillustrationist ULLA METS (sorry darling for name-dropping you, but the world must see all your beautiful sillustrations) and myself were both born on january 4th. why we didnt realize this until now i dont know. in music news: --i'm getting the new b&s single tonight after work. --i'm in love with camera obscura and i'm horribly jealous of all you folk who actually LIVE near them and can see them play live. --everyone should go out and buy (i think i've mentioned this before) Hope Sandoval and The Warm Inventions. stunning. leaves me speechless really. --also everyone should go out and buy a cd of Chet Baker. he's a dreamy jazz singer. --anyone who would like the URL to hear a song of my own creation with me and my friend hiromi singing, just email me. in the book nook today: j.d. salinger of course. still reading : seymour, an introduction. also i'm continuously rereading p.g. wodehouse stories. you should too! in the cafeteria: wheat thins and dried apricots. with water to drink. i'm curious to know what everyones feelings are on the film "basquiat". why? i dont know, its something to talk about. personally i love that film. the sinister translation game is well under way and should be completed sometime by next ..........winter, hopefully. hey come on! it takes time! i'm anxiously awaiting my turn at the rachel mixtape. oh, the possiblities....... *cue dr. evil laugh* anyway i'm totally rambling and boring you all to death....i'm afraid my wit juice is running dry, so i'm going to go splash some good strong coffee in my face and see if that helps. lots of love and fun games like hide and seek in the dark......caleb ben aka raw ===== "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle." ~Plato "Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction." -Antoine de Saint-Exupery __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: ...epilogue
by Ola Szkudlapska 27 Nov '01

27 Nov '01

hello for the second time today! i did go out to try and get tickets for thursday's gig... and what a magnificient failure it was. i had checked carefully where the club was on the map - not that far from where i live actually.. i went by tram. i think b&s should have made a t-shirt with a tram. i love them. i even managed to get off on the right stop. hurray! it was this huge busy roundabout, with loads and loads of cars/trams/buses passing, and no traffic lights. i had to cross the street running, because i was scared someone would run me over if i just walked. it worked - no one did run me over (obviously). a few cars even stopped to let me pass. which doesn't change the fact i couldn't find the street, where the club was supposed to be. i walked in the wrong direction for a while. then i turned back. then i walked into another street before suddenly bumping into the right one. 'oh hello!', i exclaimed. 'fancy seeing you here!' i looked around. ooh what a grim and dark area. small grey buildings next to small grey buildings next to a big grey place offering cement, plaster, concrete and sand. hmm. i walked round a bit and found a grey car service station. i walked round a bit more and some lewd old man started talking to me. i escaped. and found myself in front of *another* club. the one i *wasn't* trying to find. it's cube-shaped and grey too, and it used to belong to some factory before being converted to the Central House of Qulture. oh well. i walked back to the other street. naturally, i could try to ask someone to show me the way but a) the people i met were either lewd old men or workers of the car service station b) the club is called 'Bakery'. perhaps it's in a building which used to be a bakery, all the best clubs used to be something else in the past. ;) how could i come up to somebody and ask: 'excuse me, do you know where the bakery is? oh, it's a club by the way.' hmm. :) so i decided to walk right to the end of that short dark street. i was so focused on trying to make out the building's numbers that i stepped into a deep puddle. i didn't even feel my whole left foot was wet - perhaps it was because the water instantly froze on me. ah well. i was about to concede defeat and go back to the scary roundabout when - lo and behold - i went into some gateway and there, behind a massive metal door was 'The Bakery'(!) only it was closed. i tried using the huge knocker but to no avail. no-one showed up to sell me tickets. that's what happens to an avid music fan like my poor self. so i went back home and called up my musician friend to cheer myself up and ask him what time his band were playing tomorrow. he wasn't sure. :) anyway, i'd better start studying (and essay writing ;-) take care and sorry for bothering you all twice today(!) olalala -- Tego nie znajdziesz w zadnym sklepie!

Sinister: 13th Note closing?!
by Jason Andreas 27 Nov '01

27 Nov '01

Hi all. I heard some rather disturbing news last night. Apparently my beloved 13th Note is on its last legs. This can't be good. I've loved that pub/cafe/club combination since I started hanging out in the lovely carbuncle that is Glasgow. *Feels all sad* - Jase x +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: opinions peter
by Jo tomas 27 Nov '01

27 Nov '01

its strange peter but I was thinking the opposite about the tompaulin LP. I really like the band, so Im biased I suppose. I think it is a whole work and the songwriting their best yet. The peel session was lovely. I adore the cover of since yesterday it always makes me smile. Other records to live for ? Camera Obscura. I can't wait. It should be excellent from what Ive already heard of them. smiles Joxx ===== small town night club over a pub/girls in make up thicken the blood __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: ...from a random polish correspondent ;-)
by Ola Szkudlapska 27 Nov '01

27 Nov '01

dear sinister, as i'm writing a huge crane at the building-site near my house is lifting a very-heavy-looking block of concrete. right now it's dangling right outside my window. in a moment the crane operator is going to have a stroke and lose control over the dangerous machine. the concrete block will then smash my window and kill me on the spot. but that won't happen. ;-) seriously though, i strongly dislike the thought of a MASSIVE block of flats/offices blocking out all the sun from my room. sun.. not much of it lately. but hey - it was snowing yesterday! :) lalala :) and yesterday was also special because... for the first time the polish sinister.. well, not 'massive' yet but generally a threesome, met in its entire threesomeness! ;) maja, kamil, self and some other nice people i know all met at an ace gig (btw, polish bands are becoming better and better, i tell you ;). i generally love gigs and yesterday's one was truly amazing. a few times i found myself holding my breath in awe, and only managing to exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen in a normal way when the songs ended (good thing i didn't suffocate! :). the audience gave me a positive surprise too.. waiting for the *very* end of the song before applauding, as if eager to hear all the different shades of the fading sound.. lovely. oops, got a bit carried away there. i'd forgotten some(most?) people are way better at lyrical descriptions than me :) anyway, am going to see this fantastic band (Lenny Valentino is their name, if anyone's interested :) again on thursday, and the 'polish sinister section' is going to meet tomorrow at (surprise, surprise) a yet another gig :) pam param what an action-packed time! and i'm going to meet up with maja tomorrow before the concert, so that we can actually chat a bit :) lallalaalala. if i didn't have an essay to write (for tomorrow) and a Proficiency english exam coming up, i'd be on cloud nine! (and if the building site disappeared/turned into a nice park, too) sssooooo i'd better go and start learning (or perhaps go get the tickets for thursday in advance. yes.) olalalaa/rachola cinnamon :) ps. apologies to everyone i owe tapes to (and to niko, whom i owe cinnamon tea to). they will be sent before the end of the year. promise. psps. ooh and if anyone wanted to hear lenny valentino/other a!c!e! polish bands (some of which are even a little PUNK ROCK!ish ;) and doesn't mind a long wait for a tape from a megadisorganised person.. than.. umm you know what to do :) pspsps. !viva rachels! -- Tego nie znajdziesz w zadnym sklepie!

Sinister: "waking up to us" (the bouncer has arrived)
by Kenneth P Y Chu 27 Nov '01

27 Nov '01

Dear Sinister, I was contemplating my own death yesterday, it was fun. Eating a sausage sandwich and watching the grease dripping out like the amber on trees in the Amazon that you see on TV (except the amber in the amazon probably has less bugs trapped inside). I was reminded of once going to see my friend in a cardiac hospital, he had some strange illness thing that needed an operation (which didn't go smoothly but that's another story), and in the wards near him are all these old overweight men with clogged up hearts, slumped on their beds like a bit of clay, one guy there has tubes that do all the toilet duties for him, I wonder why they had to make those tube transparent. I overhear some people were saying "Pathetic", and "They just wouldn't stop eating the greasy foods would they?". I felt a bit ill, but then that was probably because of the savoloy I ate earlier giving me indigestion. If I ever have a heart attack I'll probably hide somewhere so I'll just die and not have to be an exhibition inside a hospital ward. I want a Chicken Leg Supper. I went to Offbeat in Sheffield and then went to see Camera Obscura in Glasgow last weekend, it was fun. Even when I got thrown out of a club in Glasgow by bouncers for violent drunken disorderly behaviours (like, er, sleeping). On my way back I got caught by the speed camera. Also an idiot who probably fell asleep on the motorway swerved and almost run me off the road and killed me, but that's another story.

Sinister: Intro: The Cat's Pajamas
by The Cat's Pajamas 27 Nov '01

27 Nov '01

Hello everybody, This is my first post to sinister, I just busted out of the nursery a few hours ago. I've been hanging about in #sinister for the past couple of weeks, so I've gotten to know some of you already. For those I haven't met, my name is Jason, I'm about to graduate from the University of Illinois with a degree in Ecology. I grew up in the south suburbs of Chicago, Tinley Park to be exact. If there are any other Chicago area, or Chambana area sinisterines, let me know. I'd be interested in hearing from you. I'm off to bed now, so I'll stop here before I ramble too long off topic. I've really enjoyed reading the posts for the past couple of weeks, everyone seems really great. I'm looking forward to contributing from time to time.
