Sinister: A man who drinks like that and does not eat is going to die
by Rinaldo Thatchez 06 Feb '01

06 Feb '01

Response to subject line: a wistful, "When?" I have got to start treating myself better, sinisterites. Either that or stop treating myself at all good ever. This morning there was no time for breakfast before the Monday morning staff meeting so I settled for a cigarette and vitamins. Barely got through the meeting and promptly went to throw up my vitamins (the entire contents of my stomach save for a bit of cran juice). Am I grossing you out? Sorry, but it was particularly demoralizing when I tried to do what I could for this useless and ungrateful body and my efforts were rejected, in a manner both violent and injurious to my dignity. Doesn't it understand that without me it would never touch any of its fleshy counterparts, never dance, never feel that fuzzy, jelly drunkennes with which I so often and generously lavish it? Fuck it, it's war. My organs don't stand a chance. Not much content there but that's my version of shouting it from the rooftops. Sorry again, I seem to have started my story with the epilogue. I was going to tell you all about (well, not ALL) the weekend that brought me to this point. But, in an effort to not be a briefer, less rambling poster, an underrated virtue I think, I'll save it for later this week. In the interest of content though, I will tell you one thing about this weekend: I delivered a mix tape to a girl that contained "A Century of Fakers", a fave of mine, but I think she took it personally. Damned unintended messages. Rinaldo p.s. can't take credit for subject line or response, that honor belongs to Mr. Mel Brooks, auteur of Blazing Saddles. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Do You Have To Stop Posting To Start Living?
by Peter Miller 05 Feb '01

05 Feb '01

Thank you, Ooooon, for that Thai news. It strikes me you're really out of touch. I think MC Hammer is your man. I was in my local headstore today and they had the 70s WHO on, Squeze Box followed by WHO Are You. I think it was some kind of compilation, they switched it off when Moon died. I love the introduction to WHO Are You, it's perfect. Must get the album some time. That gives a new meaning to "making a mental note" to do something. The rector at Glasgow University doesn't actually have to do very much if they don't want to. Hence Winnie Mandela. I voted for Winnie Mandela. Her extra-curricular activities hadn't come to light at the time. I think she was the first showbiz star to be elected, opening the floodgates for Pat Kane from Hue and Cry, and Victor Meldrew. I don't know who Ross Kemp is. Pat Kane quickly set to work getting seen with people in wheelchairs, then disappeared. I stuck two fingers up at him once. When he wasn't looking. Rectors don't have anything to do with graduation ceremonies. What I most object to (or disagree with) in Duke's article is his belief that Pop isn't democratic. A quick look at History, or even Pop History, will show that people who believe that Pop isn't democratic are naturally wrong. And to wish for a non-democratic Belle and Sebastian is to wish for something else entirely. So ner. I was reading Record Collector in my local headstore and there's a new deluxe Showaddywaddy reissue out. I don't know if it's a Mike Hurst production though. They were keeping mum about that. Apparently Showaddywaddy have "legions of fans". They should go to Malcolm "The Duke" Allured's pub.

Sinister: White Fluffy Snow
by Jason Andreas 05 Feb '01

05 Feb '01

Hi everyone. It's *snowing* Damn. I don't like snow - it gets in your eyes and up your nose and generally freezes your ass off, to put it lightly. I'm currently snuggled up in a big duvet, typing with only my head and hands outside of the covers. And I'm still cold. Typical. Annoying thing was, the snow made me really late for work, but Glasgow actually had bugger-all snow lying, so my bosses only half-believed me that Cumbernauld was snowed-in. Assholes :) I now have a cuddly Meowth and Charmander that I won from a grabby machine. They're keeping ET and the purple gorilla (thanks Jeannie) company. Which is nice. I read in The Twee Bunny's post that Stuart Murdoch is going to be the Rector for Glasgow U. What does a rector actually *do?* I've never been to uni, so I don't have much experience on the matter. Anyone wanna give me a brief rundown off-list? Heh heh. The man on the news just asked the correspondant "You got one man off, think you can get another one off?" Which was amusing to my dirty mind, but probably to no-one elses at all. <grin> Hi to David Strange, by the way. Sorry I wasn't very talkative when you were in Glasgow - I'll do better next time. Promise. I'm going to watch WWF videos (my friend tapes RAW and Smackdown! from Sky for me) now, so I'll see you in two shakes of a bodyslam! - Jase (groovy) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Mediocre Rhetoric (Preferred Platform: The Tire Swing)
by Kim 05 Feb '01

05 Feb '01

Hello all... Been a while since I last posted, so most of you probably have never heard/read any of my ramblings until now... Which could put you at an advantage in that you'll go into this without a preconcieved bias, be it for or against whatever happens to be my inconsequential opinion at any given moment. Though I think, theoretically, that wandering into the minds of others without a single bias is how all Sinister postings should be read, but then again... that's why there's two completely different definitions for "theory" and "reality." So my whole point in posting this time, as my life is completely boring and talking about it is sure to help my fellow twee isomniacs find the peace they're looking for, is to respond to the article recently alluded to: you know, the "Magnetic Fields VS. Belle and Sebastian" article. The power of freedom of speech once again allows someone to proverbially stain the hearts of others who may find an overly-self-righteous assertation about the state of ANYTHING to be a bit disturbing. Don't get me wrong - I'm certainly not AGAINST the freedom of speech, nor do I oppose everyone's right to use it at their convenience. I simply harbor an irritatingly large pet peeve for people who assume they are absolutely right and state opinions as though they are fact. To bring it a little closer to something specific, I am referring to the position taken in the article that pop is not and cannot be democratic. One simple question: "Said who?" Since when are there set rules for the making of pop? Isn't part of the joy of experiencing our feeble world of indie pop the fact that there are no rules or guidelines? I don't think even Stephen Merritt would argue with that. I own and adore "69 Love Songs." But I wouldn't place it above Belle & Sebastian according to musical merit simply because Stuart Murdoch refuses to take some sort of "leader of the pack" musical high ground. And I'd venture to say that it's possible Stephen Merritt doesn't assume that his work is more acceptable "pop" than B&S's simply because most of his work involves other musicians but is largely organized around and associated with the name "Stephen Merritt." Some musicians prefer that method; others don't. Why does this dichotomy have to set boundaries? From where I stand, it seems as though the only merit in asserting a "leader" in any given pop group would be to provide the media with one specific name to which to refer in all their various rantings and ravings, instead of having to actually list all musicians involved. Which really isn't much of a merit other than it's a little less hard on the fingertips of those who have to write the articles. Alisdair is more than welcome to his opinion. I simply wish he'd state it as such, rather than asserting that *everyone KNOWS pop cannot be democratic*. That being said, I want to make sure I mention that this is simply my opinion, and if anyone thinks I'm completely off the mark, more power to you. I'm open to suggestions and the tweaking of my stance on things in general. After all, this list wouldn't be nearly as entertaining or though-provoking if we all agreed on everything. Thanks for your time, Sini's. This list is the best, and so are all of you. P.S. Another special thanks to Jules for the transatlantic post. :) It's lovely to have such a wonderful extended family. Best wishes to everyone, and I'll see you around the playground. It's safe to assume I'm the one on the big multi-slide, tire-netted, Wooden-Fort (with the firepole escape route) contraption, gripping the rusty and askew Steering-Wheel-Going-Nowhere and making engine sounds...

Sinister: Hartly's Monsters
by Michelle R. 05 Feb '01

05 Feb '01

hello there! How exciting, my first post! ah well anyway. I found something I thought you all might find interesting regarding Hal Hartly's new project: http://us.imdb.com/Title?0248190 I also heard it's a take on Beauty and the Beast, but that's pretty obvious. The film is slated for a fall release. Who knows if this is THE film that B&S are working on, but I think it adds up. In any case, it seems interesting enough. Although the film looks dark(check out the 2 stills they have under "photos") but not really funny. Sarah Polley's in this, and she's a pretty good actress. Well I've tried to get into #sinister for a while now with no success. I also tried getting to it via the Spanish site link, with the same results. If anyone knows a better way please tell me.

Sinister: Can't Touch This
by oooon 05 Feb '01

05 Feb '01

Whatever song that is, it is really really bad. so bad i can't get it out of my head! i think many of you must have seen it, the Can't touch this song but the vdo was like that bums bit from .....Harry Enfield??. my niece had a giggling fit when she saw it so i couldn't change channel. Pair has unspeakable taste in music and boy. right now, she has a thing for this Thai boyband singer named Andy. mention this name she will become awfully shy, turning round and round a few times and run to the corner, hitting people along the way. she will be two years old this month. i wish it is fifteen she will be. if only to make her easier to keep. if you start to wonder why i talk about my niece. it doesn't have anything to do with what i'm writing actually. i just want to say 'Happy New Year" to you all. i may or may not have read all the posts but i hope everyone have good new year times. both western and chinese. my new year was nice. i have good fun. so good that i gained 4 kilograms. the first time i saw this extra 4 on the weighter i thought the weighter was broke and cruelly lying. but sadly it wasn't. the reason is definitely my hand. you know those horror films when hand does things on its own willing? it was a bit like that. it started with my right hand, just little twitching and jumping at first. then it became more active. reaching out to foods even when i tell it not to. its favourite thing is chocolate fudge cake. the one with thick soft dark chocolate on top. you know how seductive they are, especially as a whole round shiny one. i believe the spark was from this shampoo. i had my hair red-ish for while and got a bit bored. so i tried my mother's Blackshine shampoo. if you have it in your country you'll know what i am saying now. if not, this shampoo helps turn your hair black. and when you pour it into your hand, it's just like you're squeezing dark shiny creamy liquid chocolate. how nice is that! however, i'm happy that this horror hand is more often that not under control now. after i've consumed enough food to last me a few months. seeing from the fact that i have not feel hungry for over a week. most of my clothes hurt my waist, or the area that used to be my waist. so it is urgent issue to deal with. either go buy new bigger clothes or get my waist back. a wise person says the road to hell is the easy one. there's no truer spoken, is there? actually, there might be. how about "Storage can set you free"?. i'm thinking that this year shall be my good health and storage year. i have come up with a plan. step one is taking photo of all my clothes and accessories and make a book. it will save a lot time trying to decide what to wear, digging through my wardrobe and various cabinets, cupboards, boxes, bags, etc. to find them. location, therefore, must be stated clearly. thus more time to sleep, leading to better health. i of course steal this idea from someone else. so feel free to steal it further. it's such a good thing to do, wouldn't you think it nice if everyone has our own book of clothes to flaunt. a beautiful piece of cloth is no less an art than a beautiful painting. even more so if you ask me. i think Mr. Miller did. i think Mr.Miller also want some Thai news too. the biggest news is probably the new government. apparently, we are gonna have a new prime minister on Valentine day. we just had big election last month. not that i knew anything about it, i was off to the island !YAY! was a bit ashamed when the beach people asked how i was going to vote being there. but the beach was so nice and breezy and food was great, etc. anyway, this new PM is a big business man, owns just about every other things. people are seriously hoping that he can do something to help the economy crisis so his party had got landslides victory. so finger crossed that things will really get better. it's been sooooo bad and sad here for so long. i can't think of any good news off my head. my hair is in an in-between state. i'm trying to have it longer. now it just about covering my neck and falling about on my face. how annoying. it's hard to keep good news in your head when your hair is in such mess. coincidently, this year, chinese year i mean, my luck is not so good. my mother has acquire me a sacred thing (talisman?) to protect and help my luck. each birth year has different symbol. guess what mine is! four turtles embracing fountain! i was sooooooo pleased :)) good night, oon xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Hey Hey
by The Twee Bunny 05 Feb '01

05 Feb '01

Hi all. I'm now set-up reasonably happily in North-East England, where the booze flows nicely and the women flow even more. Well, they did for me. I've had more sex in the last few weeks than I have for my entire life. Which is always nice. You know us rabbits. Apparantly my "Edinburgh Accent" goes down nicely too. Always nice to have your home appreciated, even when they get it wrong. I hear wee Stu M is going to be rector for Glasgow Uni. That's pretty cool - whsh I could be there to see his opening speech... "Hi. Err. Um. Hi." *Stuart Murdoch leaves the building to rapturous applause* I will probably come back up for a quick break from the hectic world of IT Solutions for that. Mr N*** G*** (me) is a powerful figure in his office. Who knows, I may even make management soon. I just need to go a little more into C++ to qualify. Yay! Of course I'll be keeping up with Sinister, but I won't be posting as often because I am *really* busy. It's a far cry from fucking about completely pissed on the streets of Glasgow throwing up on other completely pissed people. I feel homesick already... ===== *******-- The Twee Bunny --******** *- Tweenybopping since Tigermilk -* ********- *kiss* *kiss* -********** ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: With the cars and the girls, it's a glamorous world
by Mark Hester 05 Feb '01

05 Feb '01

Hello everyone, Someone was making a film in my road on Saturday. There were lots of people dotted down the road, all wearing eyepatches. I would have hung around to find out more, but I was in a hurry to get to Oxford station to meet some friends for a ramble around rural Oxfordshire, which was very, very muddy, as is now evidenced by the half a field on the soles of my poor battered reeboks. What does the Rector of a Scottish uni do? Is (s)he like the Chancellor of an English one? I was quite disappointed that at my graduation ceremony in Bristol my degree was granted to me by the *Vice* Chancellor - monkeys & organ grinders come to mind (oh dear, too many jokes). The VC in question (a he) used to wear quite a lot of make-up at the ceremony, which was not a pretty sight. Pinefox - I love your posts. Have we met? If so you couldn't have introduced yourself as Pinefox. I *do* like Joy Division as it happens, and like you I'm looking forward to the 24hr Party People movie, although the casting of Steve Coogan as Anthony H. Wilson is just too bizarre.... NME are raving about the Strokes...well they would, wouldn't they? I saw them on Friday and didn't think they were up to much. Not quite sure about the V.U. influence - I didn't spot it. Too much posing and not enough musical effort and it is HARDLY A GOOD IDEA to harangue the crowd for an insufficiently enthusiastic welcome..... January was a real gig-fest and February looks like it's going to be more of the same. Trembling Blue Stars and the Clientele on Saturday, which I'm really looking forward to.....Clientele's album is the only thing I have ever bought online, incidentally. Consulting my newly acquired copy of Oxford's music rag "Nightshift" I learn that we have Arab Strap and Grand Drive to look forward to, as well as a band called the Afternoons who, we are told, are b&s influenced, so I'll have to go to find out how much..... The other notable feature of this month's nightshift was a review of a demo by my colleague Jamie's band, Vehicle Derek. Jamie has been out of the office today on a training course, so there couldn't be a better time for passing said music rag from desk to desk, so everyone can read how Vehicle Derek are "absolute mindless trash" which "sounds far more like the true spirit of punk than the polished turd that is Blink 182". mark. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
