Sinister: Take Chuey with his bow and arrow, Ken's a mastermind...
by Rachel fruitloop 05 Dec '01

05 Dec '01

Hello Sinister! Like everyone predicted, Miss Fruitloop can't keep up her fevered pace of derivative posts. That's ok, I knew it would happen, too. It's a luxury to be lazy. 163 in my inbox, but at least I've read them all... You're all fantastic! I woke up at a quarter past nine. It was dark. I couldn't tell if it was still tonight, or if it was tomorrow and just dark and raining outside. I didn't remember going to sleep. I panicked, because if it was in fact tomorrow, I should have been leaving the house to get to work at that very moment. But it was tonight. And then I was happy because I had napped for over an hour. That can be really disorienting, but I kind of like that feeling. I can feel the nuances of people slithering under my skin lately. It's an odd sensation but it sort of feels good, but sort of dirty at the same time. I have walked through a threshold into the world where two adorable and enchanting creatures are at odds. Where obsession turns away from past lovers and to the unknown possibility of the *newer*better*faster*. Where forgiveness wraps around me like a wristwatch, reminding me it's time. In this place, I dance in the embrace of the most beautiful boy who knows how to lead like swimming. But we can't breathe underwater and I wonder how long we'll go before we remember this. In this world I take solace in a song written to me by someone I've never met. I am in awe of his ability and his sensitivity and I hope that I am able to take care of him when his feet are cold like mine are right now because my house is drafty. This place is where everything effecting me dwells. My mind wanders... The old lady cat, Agnes, has a cold. She is sitting on my bed sneezing and her poor little kitty eyes are watering. I wish I could give her kitty cold medicine. I hope she doesn't get pneumonia and die. She is going to be sixteen in a couple of months. She's as old as some of you on this list! Ben Apps is in for it when he arrives in my town in 26 days. I'll be spreading my Christmas cheer for him and knocking away his humbug! So brace yourself, Ben! Like everything around here, Christmas time and my family is quite a spectacle! My weekends are in danger of being taken over by #sinister! I was chatting quite a bit this past weekend, in hopes of running into the aforementioned Bunny Apps, which didn't happen. I did blush when I would check back in, and several of you let me know that I missed him. I was also waiting patiently for miss Elise J. Spry, miss Kirsten M. Kenyon and Jimmy G. the heartthrob from the 1950's. I never got to chat with them, either! But, I did get to hang with the legendary Kenneth PY Chu, Stacey Dahling, Andreea, Adorable Danny Farrell, Miss Lindsey Lou, Amy "Rachel" Applejacks, The Cat's PJs, Rachel Sunnyside Up and the alluring Richard J. Gillanders, just to name a few. Miss Lindsey wrote about her life story being "Beautiful" and you all know how I feel about that one. I also identify very much with the song, but I paralleled my reliance on anti-depressants to the lyrics, where Lindsey compares her experiences with boys to it. I loved your post, Lindsey! I'm with you sister! THE PINEFOX wrote a grate one about George Harrison: "He had his own trademarks (in chords and melodies), which I've wished before that I could identify; and almost everything he wrote was musically subtle. One reason, perhaps, why it also feels frail - weak, in need of protection, or of a hug." I thought what you wrote was the most beautiful thing I've read about George Harrison in these days since his passing. I'd also like to add, just to bring this down to the gutter, that George Harrison was hot. H-O-T. Raarrr! But I did shed a tear when he died... As per Kenneth PY Chu's request, I will now address Ken in a public forum*: Ken, you are my little fortune cookie. I want to break you open and tear out your clever words and then eat your crunchy sweet outside covering. When I see your posts in my inbox, my heart leaps with anticipation because I know it will be brilliant or witty or just downright entertaining. You are also H-O-T like Harrison, and talented, too! I live for the day when you will cross this vast ocean and throw me to the ground and ravage me. Just don't mess up my red bowl (haircut). *shhh, don't tell Ben. Dahling Stacey rocks my world! And the other night I promised her a poem: On this slippery slope the only one who laughs last is the one without hope And I laugh as I slide for I take you down with me and you take it in stride. As to not upset Andrew Churchman, I shall add some B&S content (since I have nothing to say about Karate). I'd like to mention that Christmas is coming and I still don't have IWUTU (eyewooty). It's one of those items that I'm hoping to get. I don't know if you know this or not, but I'm quite a fan of Belle & Sebastian... You know what, when I was on the sinister list a few years ago, it was when twattybus first came out, and I always found it so amusing that many people made the album titles into silly sounding acronyms. I am *so* glad to see a resurgence of this on the list now: Big Stu wrote: "I was wearing my TWATTYBUS T-Shirt yesterday, and I had 2 people comment on it." Big Stu also wrote: "I'm disappointed that they changed the name of the new single. IWUTU is a very dull acronym; The Season Has Arrived would make THESHAG. Almost." And Carsmile Steve wrote: "am i the only person not to have heard EYEWOOTY?" Mark Hester wrote: "And I haven't heard "eyewooty" either, incidentally." Incidentally, I have yet to hear it as well. Desmond Torpey wrote: "i seem to recall some poll last year that concluded '69 love songs' was the favourite sinister album of 2000 apart from FISHYCLAP...is the same thing being done this year?" Yeah, is there going to be a poll this year, too? Another thing I remember from Sinister a few years back was that someone said : "'Rollercoaster Ride' too short? Not anymore!" and they talked about playing the record on slow speed! I'm still laughing about it now. I think of that everytime I listen to TWATTYBUS! Everyone seemed to enjoy our B&S on Later with Droolz Holland, and that is fantastic. I've almost accepted the fact that I will never see it. *sniff* Congratulations to Lawrence Mikkelsen who just got married! YAY! I want to see pictures! I adore Chris Pez. Just thought I'd mention that! Also, Ryan, thanks for your attention lately, I know you're super busy! Welcome to Bri, Max, The Cat's PJs, and Maja!!! And anyone I might have missed! Also a big hello to those who made an apperance recently, such as Louise, Mark the Idlebloke, Kerry, Chris Butler and David White! Well, I dunno kitties, I hope you enjoyed reading this! I think it will do. Shout outs and hugs to the usual suspects (of course that includes you, Cutie pie Danny) Extra kisses for that sweetie crush o' mine, Ben! !Viva Rachels! love, Rachel fruitloop __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: builders and movers and maybe even shakers
by Youn J. Noh 05 Dec '01

05 Dec '01

Hi Sinister, It's a shame no one took Mandee up on the construction site, though she said she was tired of the idea just as she started. I had a similar idea last last summer for their recording studio, after reading a thoughtful article in which it was claimed that their best songs are "built around builds". But would we just stand around wringing our hands, or have we ended up justifying our own existence? (After reading Kieran's posts and the last one from PF, I'm beginning to think so.) Another way the conceit works is that if we're all lined up on a beam (save for Mr. Gillanders, of course), then our view of sinister is obscured(?) by those immediately to the right and to the left of us - real life friends and acquaintances, whatever. But if one of us dares to stand up, then she might see that that fellow in the distance is hardly recognizable. So it's amazing that this community exists at all, even if the cohesion is partially based upon an illusion. Or have we become more like one another? Bookends. Ola, "my name's alexei yuriy gagarin siege of stalingrad glorious 5-year-plan sputnik tractor dynamo moscow balowski. my father was a bit of a communist, you see" this quote is fantastic! Where is it from? (Yes, I'm hardly qualified to say anything about communism.) Frank, heartfelt posts about boyfriends and discos in provincial towns that close at midnight. (I hardly ever go out.) We *are* different! When you return - garrulous and sweet - in a flurry of A4, I wonder what inspires you to write. Once you were speeding west on a train from Krakow (how long has it been?!?!) and ended up in a London cafe. Landmarks to equal those in Remembrance Of Things Past. In the beginning of 'Place Names: The Place', Marcel writes, "It was not for the first time that I felt that those who love and those who enjoy are not always the same." Which got me thinking that he's a bit like Don Quixote - silly, impossibly idealistic, loveable.

Sinister: ela e minha meninha
by Sarah Garrett Sonner 05 Dec '01

05 Dec '01

Hello everyone. I'm not used to this de-lurking business. Up until yesterday I did not have the new single. Because I am lazy. Hey, isn't that pleather Isobel's wearing? Does this call for an exclamation of "phwoar"? I will now quote Ken Chu. >When I woke up I could hear Sturan going "Wig. in. up. du. uzzzz" (that's >the accent), Hearing Stuart's enunciation gave me a deja-entendu (if you will)...am I wrong in guessing Stuart's imitating someone's singing style on purpose? Upon reflection all I can come up with for a source for this freaky feeling is Donovan. Now I think of "E. Leck. Trick. Kah. Ba-na-na...Going. Ta. Be. A. Sud. Den. Crayze..." Help. I wish that Sarah Martin would help me study by singing all of my dry-as-chaff literary criticism readings for me.* Every time I read the word "hegemony" now my eyes automatically close. I think if I heard her sing them I would actually be able to retain more meaning from sentences like "This disavowal of the historical and the contingent was ipso facto a disavowal of any role being accorded to culture in liberal argument." snore. Some Brazilian concert-goers mentioned a cover version of the Mutantes' 'Minha Meninha'. Was the version of 'Baby' like Os Mutantes' too? Next time they ought to do 'Ave Lucifer', or maybe 'Bat Macumba' cause that way they could all join in on the chorus. harhar. A while ago, a starry Sarah asked, >Also, my favourite Tijuana Brass LP is surely Tamla Goes Tijuana. > >What's yours? I am compelled to answer her question, though I suspect it was rhetorical. I must mention Whipped Cream & Other Delights, the album whose green, lascivious cover art I have seen resting in almost every thrift store record bin I've ever dirtied my fingers flipping through. Which is very many. I finally had to pay ten cents for a copy in order for it to stop haunting me so. Who in the band will get to be the cover model for that one? PHWOAR. Yours, xoxSGS *And if this is not Sarah singing you can meet me by the Camera Obscura Wednesday night and talk some sense into my empty noggin. _________________________________________________________________ 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: they let lisa go blind
by lindsey baker 04 Dec '01

04 Dec '01

hello sinister. if any large boys in the vicinity of nebraska are in an out-of-twee-character fighting mood, i have a boy. for you. to. attack. and. in my mind. it would be best. if he were. well. maimed, maybe? i have decided, finally, once and for all, to swear off anything with a penis. this may include dogs. and dolphins. it has been said that i am the cutest girl alive, and always having some sort of love crisis, and this is probably true. well. the latter part, at any rate. perhaps i will take some time now to provide an addition to my valuable, oft heralded pulling tips. to foray into What Not to Say When Dumping a Girl. first things first: if you have vague plans to get rid of a lady when you ask her over, DON'T smother her with kisses when she arrives. it's just not nice. that said, here is a nice list of DON'TS: Don't say anything to the effect of "lindsey, you are so amazing." "lindsey, you are beautiful." "lindsey, you are so good for me." Don't say anything to the effect of "i just don't know what to say to you." "you are so complicated....but but in a good way." "i don't know what i want/i don't know what you want/i don't know what happened in the last few days, really." Don't say "lindsey, you're not the perfect woman." (not that any of us thinks we are. this is just a bad context to throw out this sentence. shitty, really.) Don't say "well, part of it IS that you don't do that." "i just have different views than you, and i know we don't want to compromise our beliefs." and by all means -- FOR THE LOVE OF GOD -- Don't say "remember how you said he was searching for something in you that he needed to find within himself? MAYBE THAT'S YOUR PROBLEM." hmmm. this is a good start. Do say "i am an asshole." repeatedly. maybe try groveling a little bit. and the next day. if you see the girl you broke. don't be an asshole. it's just not nice. today i have drug out both the bright eyes and the 3..6..9 seconds of light. and deicided. that i am. beautiful. i am. that song. and i am. fucking tired. but. i did have another cigarette, and i can smell the rebellious smoke of the contraband cylinder clinging to my corduroy jacket like a faint, sticky incense. i really like the way my chest has tightened. like i am forever ready to burst. into what, though, is the fear. i told him he made me really happy and really scared at the same time. and he spread over me like the smoke. and now. i can't get him out. i am a novice smoker who inhales without coughing, and now my heart is paying the price. misslindseylou ______________________________________________________________________________ Send a friend your Buddy Card and stay in contact always with Excite Messenger http://messenger.excite.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Jamie does it again!
by Marianna Longmire 04 Dec '01

Good God. This evening, whilst stuck at work, I was watching the telly (one of the few perks of working at a b+b - getting paid to do nothing occasionally), when The Naked Chef came on the beeb. And the opening refrain? Legal Man. Eek! Egads! No! I hear you say. I feel violated. And I'm doubly offended by the number of times his Australian friends said "no worries". They give us all a bad name. Hurrumph.

Sinister: Enduring Love
by Kieran Devaney 04 Dec '01

04 Dec '01

Enduring love? Well, yes, of course and no, not at all. Enduring Love is also a book (notice the single speech marks around those two words, that denotes that Im referring to the book and not to the noun and adjective I remember writing in an essay once that Macbeth is a play my English teacher quite correctly scribbled green ink in the margin to the effect of Macbeth is not a play, Macbeth is a play, Macbeth is a character in the play Macbeth and I understood everything). Enduring Love (again the book), isnt very good, Ian McEwan is to blame, being the author. Clever? Well yes and no, he can certainly turn on the style when he wants to, but is the style what we really want? Well yes and no, or to be more precise, no. What made the book annoying was the type of plot that, were it a TV movie, Channel Five would gladly screen it, mixed in with overly scientific, often ugly prose relating to the psychologies of each situation in the book. This mainly focussed on the largely dull, ageing (but to quote John Peel: Show me someone who *isnt* ageing), male type and his on/off/sort of off/on/sort of on/sort of off/on/ambiguously ending relationship with a lady called Clarissa. McEwan's knowledge of science and psychology is enviable, precisely what makes the book annoying, for this is the style we dont want him to turn on. I wont spoil it for you but if you only read one book about a religious stalker who falls in love with the hero of the story during a freak hot air ballooning incident this year *dont* make it Enduring Love. I think it was Dorothy Parker (I hope so anyway, how awful it would be to have a quote falsely attributed to you), that said: This isnt a novel to be tossed aside gently, it should be thrown with great force. Im paraphrasing inevitably, but the sentiment is there. I was also going to write about people who start their newspapers at the back. But I realise I havent much else to say on the matter, and that such a phrase would be better kept back and used as part of a larger description of someone. For example: He was standing right in front of me, deliberating whether or not to purchase a Feeder album or not, I cursed him inwardly because I wanted to look at Fall records, but he was in the way; I reasoned that he was probably someone who started his newspaper at the back - Feeder fans generally are. This made me feel better, and I went to look at something else for a bit some Dylan CDs I think it was, and by the time I got back to the F section he had moved on. I never found out whether he bought that Feeder album or not. In a purely fictional situation like that the phrase works, gives something to the otherwise drab words and is the most interesting thing about the passage. I wonder though, how much of what I say is a quotation then, quoting myself. Storing up words inside you to recontextualise, or change for a different audience, perhaps to pass off as spontaneity seems callous, but I do it all the time. *cut* *change track* How our inflections and mannerisms change the shape of our thoughts in the space between our brain and our voice so that they come out as something quite different. Does this really matter? Are the perceptions people have of us not as true a reflection of our personalities as what we feel inside? Well, yes and no. Its too big a question to answer with anything concrete really. Its one of those novelty questions we ask to make ourselves feel better and less insignificant: If I keep questioning then I shall find answers. Except, comfortably, conveniently we wont. Its like talking about cultural differences but only alluding to the differences in spelling between colour and color or the contrast between elevator and lift. Doesnt get us anywhere, but its nice to think about it sometimes, and occasionally some truth might be got at, or some semblance of it at least. Im rambling, inevitably; but isnt the noble interaction between man and machine comforting! Words transformed from brain to keyboard to screen, its incredible really. Evolution in full flow, synapses triggering motor neurones (please correct my biology here, I'm almost inevitably wrong, I didn't deserve that 'B' at GCSE; I feel such a fraud), the whole of science and language and art and literature coming together. If I felt the need I could just tap at these keys with my stream of consciousness all night and feel a kind of plastic wholesomeness. When I was in primary school, and we had RM Nimbus 5s (isnt wallowing in nostalgia almost too easy to be fun?), and the very act of seeing what I had typed up on the screen, a screen which was tangible, but the words not, was fascinating. Intangible words on a tangible screen. Somewhere, in that mess of stubby prose there could be a metaphor for out times - something spurious about having the technology but not being able to control it. Enough doe-eyed wonder interspersed with melodramatic vitriol I think. Ill write something proper soon, Im building myself up to it by going through it in my head over and over, very therapeutic.

Sinister: slithy toves
by stacey dahling 04 Dec '01

04 Dec '01

hey you sexy thangs you'll be glad to know that my epic navel-gazing and brat-sitting posts may be over. oh yes. i've found a new outlet for my self-involved babble. named, a silly site: http://www.dreamwater.net/slithytoves (i had another host but they DELETED me! already! i didn't even have a chance to offend! hmph.) and a diaryland diary. mmm hmmmmm. who else of you is on there? i've been playing with the silliness for a few fun sleepless nights (and maybe that is reflected in the yet unfinished product..hmmm) and it's also given me many ideas. one of them is to collect things. like poems. from everyone i talk to. like you and you and you. please pen a verse or two for me. the shorter and more abstract the better. yes. you'll see. or you can. there are a few already. anonymous. at callooh callay. anyway...i'm bored. humour me. i did find really odd tove-related things actually. they scare me, some of them. as does a hippie calls himself the frumious bandersnatch. there are lots of lists, too. i like lists. of things i like. mail me. visit me. love me.

attention to the kids of the irish sinister massive i thought it would be easier to mail this to sinister for all to see, since i don't have contact details for some of the lurkers...below is an email from the promoter for the belfast gig, confirming that the belfast bus has been cancelled due to lack of interest - since when did all the b&s fans have big pots of gold from which to hire private jets and the like ( i presume that's how they're getting there anyway) so if mark sweeney cares to organise a bus, there are five of us in need...otherwise, someone mentioned digging out their dog on wheels - can i have a jaunt? i'll just grab on to the tail or summat... this does cast a bit of a pall on it for me, it may work out to cost a hell of a lot of money in the end, but as i keep telling myself - it'll be worth it! any irish members with ideas, please share them quick! trish delish >===== Original Message From Colin Murray <colin.murray(a)bbc.co.uk> ===== Hi, It's actually true, I.m afraid What happened is quite simple. People in Dublin were buying tickets for the gig at a very fast rate, but not for the bus. In fact, the only tickets left were for bus / gig. Therefore, if we had have kept the bus on, Ticketmaster predicted we would have had only 10 - 20 people on bus, which would have cost the charity money. We couldn't justify this. I think you and your friends were the only ones needing the bus as we sold NO tickets! I knwo this is a nightmare for you and I thought of you at the time but I had NO option. I can recommend cheap place to stay up here and the trains are cool and they stop in Newry!
