Sinister: Nekusis
by Genevieve Wesley 30 Mar '01

30 Mar '01

Do you ever have those dreams where it seems so real and authentic, that you actually believe you have it when you wake up, only to snap back to reality and be disappointed? I dreamt I won a ski trip to Scotland, and it all seemed so real so lovely, I was even making delicious plans in my head about when I'd go, what to pack..and then POOF, I realised what had been going on. Nevermind that they don't even ski in Scotland, do they? (Maybe cross-country) Are there any listees in Tallahassee? I am wearing my Sinister Girls F.C t-shirt today, and I feel like summer, even though it's cold still. I (day)dream of VeLoCiTy and her lolly-sucking, hotpants wearing, toenail polish madness. It used to be cool to take the ends of your t-shirt and pull it through the neck, to make a knotted little midriff barer, to compensate for lack of heaving bosoms. Stuart-Peacock is coming... Yay!

Sinister: I never thought we'd get so good at feeling so bad.
by Rinaldo Thatchez 30 Mar '01

30 Mar '01

it's Friday and I'm in a silly kind of mood so what say we start off with a little bit of content? I just bought FYHCYWLAP finally last week. I know, you're thinking "what kind of fan is this guy?" but you have to understand that no matter how deep my love for any band I always wait to hear the word on a record before buying it. Not that other people are always right but it's a little check I put in place to keep me from buying EVERYTHING. So, anyways, due to fishyclap's sort of "least-loved, only for the dedicated, acquired taste, definitely not their best but still better than other stuff" reputation, I was holding out until I found a used copy. The verdict? I've not yet acquired the taste. A few days ago, Sweetie Something wrote: and as we were passing the sherriff court the bus driver slowed to halt, opened the door shouted at a passer by 'YOURE A HOMOSEXUAL!!!' and drove off again how strange What would be even stranger (and infinitely more acceptable) is if the driver's hurtful and malicious intent were not such a safe assumption. It would be much funnier and more strange if it were just a simple, compulsive observation, the equivalent of pulling over to someone just to shout, "YOU'RE SHIRT IS BLUE!" or "YOU'RE BIPEDAL!" Although if the driver were doing this it would probably be due to some mental illness, like tourette's, in which case it wouldn't be okay to laugh at. At least not openly. More of a snicker behind your book kind of thing. And the primitive painter wrote: Will this tape be enough to regain my crown from a certain ginger fox? as the lovely laura llew's favourite tape maker , or was this just a plot from her all along to get me to send more tapes? Oh, she's playing us for fools, lads. I too am competing for that crown. I had no idea that the painter and the fox were in the same race. No matter, I feel a coronation coming on. Just by the way now, I have never registered a list crush but the lovely Laura Llew is looking to be a fine candidate. I love a manipulative woman. But you can never overestimate the value of talking dirty, so don't count listdomlisa out either. Back to an old subject: Men can indeed be dominatrixes (dominatrices?). I don't know what they're called (dominator? a male aviatrix is an aviator) but I read enough of my local sex columnist to know that their are plenty of women (and men) who want to play submissive to a man. As far as getting paid for it goes though, I get the feeling the market is much smaller and this tends to be something that goes on between regular partners more than as vocation. Scratch that off the careers list then. Right now I am at work watching the seagulls out my window. There are often about a dozen of them, just gliding and floating on the crosswinds that collide between my building and the ones on the opposite corners. When my day is going well I like to watch them and admire their flight, their simple lives and their harmony with their artificial environment. It makes me feel good. On other days, when things aren't going so well, when time is dragging, they fill me with a crushing envy bordering on total despair. I want to knock them out of the sky. I feel the same way about bicycle couriers. rinaldo Laura Lleweth, your tape cometh sooneth. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: the smell of cake mixture has been following me round for 15 days now
by num num 30 Mar '01

30 Mar '01

Ok, so way back when I first subscribed to sinister, I promised myself I wouldn't be a lurker but one post in the past year would probably confirm that I am indeed a lurker of the worst (or best?) kind Anyway so what inspired me to write now? Well the fact that I should *really* be writing an essay right now probably has something to do with it. I haven't actually got anything of interest to say (as will become painfully obvious in the next few paragraphs) but bear with me. Nigel R. Townshend said: >>"so this is my idea if anyones in Sheffield then come and see the >> >>fantastic Aislers set who can be put into a B&S mould with support >> >>from the amazing Airport girl and Djing by the nice people >>atOffbeat" and I swore very loudly cos the powers that be, have rearranged wolves vs wimbledon to the very night that my 'favourite band of the moment' and my 'second favourite band of the moment' play the very city that I currently reside in. I could just give the game a miss but my stupid I've-not-missed-a-wimbledon-game-home-or-away-for-5-years-thing kinda compels me to head to wolverhampton that night. Grrr. Still, I'll be at offbeat on the Friday. I've been making plans for the potential B&S tour. It involves getting all my closest friends, a camper van and lots of time off work / uni (depending on the time of year) and doing as many gigs as possible. Only problem is that I need to make some friends and learn to drive first. Oh and a certain band to actually announce some dates... Someone incredibly lovely said I can play tambourine for one song at a gig of theirs and it made my year. Really it did. till later num num x P.S. people in Leeds and the surrounding areas really should go to strangeways 2 at the think tank this wednesday (4th) esp if you love stuff like yummy fur, milky wimpshake, smiths plus lots more stuff and of course B&S which, incidentally, I do. All the fun starts at 10pm. Tell the DJs "num num sent you" and you might even get a special prize Oh dear - I'm beginning to sound like an advert... p.p.s can i also just send my congratulations to mikey & jules. Jake the rabbit says congratulations too :) _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: I wish i knew, probably something boring
by ROBERT DONLAN 30 Mar '01

30 Mar '01

Thought i might aswell make some kind of contribution with it being quiet and the fact i have nothing to do for half an hour(Well work, but that doesn't count)And because i might have to unsubscribe over the summer as i have a uni email address and they dont like me taking up half of their hard drive (Or whatever gets taken up by emails) So, now i have to find something to say. Well i am in a strange mood cos i should be really happy, and i am, but i have had to spend all day in the library doing work and it sends you weird. I have had a really good week and now believe the people who say '...It really could happen, you never know' Thats right. Even things you think have no chance of happening, can happen. I am pleased it has taken nearly 20 years for me to realize that. 5 days. In a row. I have been happy. That is good. And it has been sunny in Liverpool today. Strange times for sure. Does anyone else honestly think time is going quicker? No. No. Just me then. Oh well. But ocassionaly you have the odd week that goes quick, but this is just getting ridiculous. I leave my house on Monday morning and by the time i get back it is Friday... Ah thats probably right actually. The second week in March i went to HMV more than i did my own house. Oh well, i could be dreaming.... I am going to Bugged Out tonight which is at Cream ( ok Nation for any hardcore clubbers out there) Never been before so quite excited. The Chemical Brothers are playing and so are the band South (On Mo'wax) My rather obvious and poorly put advice for the day is...never take the safe way out. Please, please dont sit back and wait for things to happen. As a rather good band from Manchester once said ...You've got to make it happen. Get to work, its Friday night.

Sinister: guessing games
by Nigel R. Townshend 30 Mar '01

30 Mar '01

i've not wrote for such along time so i thought hey, what else is there to do on friday other than go to boring philosphoy of geography lectures. so sinister won. When i walk down the street and i look at people i wonder if they're on sinister.. i look for the stereotypical signs, duffel coat, flares etc. then i thought if people saw me they'd think indie/skater/punk person rather than twee ya like, so yeah, prehaps i'm wrong but its still fun to look at people and guess thier social/class status, Ok that might sound like prejuidce but i dont mean it like that (if your confused then thats nothing to how i am ) I saw a girl with a green coat, ginger hair, a badge in the shape of a fox on her collar and i though hey is that Jules... after all i'm Sheffield, but i was too scared to ask. so this is my idea if anyones in Sheffield then come and see the fantastic Aislers set who can be put into a B&S mould with support from the amazing Airport girl and Djing by the nice people at Offbeat. its at the Casbah on Wednesday April the 4th. sorry to anyone who dosent live in Sheffield i feel guilty excluding you but just to make my guilt worse the very cool snow patrol are playing on April 9th at the Casbah and i'm DJing so you all have to come! anyway thats enough of excluding all none sheffield people, so yeah. has everyone been able to check out Kings of conveince yet? If you havent they must and if anyone in the USA has been able to get a copy of thier debut US only realse self titled album can i have a copy that would be lovely lovely anyway better go and do *stuff* love Nigel Love P.S sorry for being naughty. ------------------------------------------- Post Scriptum: Who's ya daddy ? http://www.lundwood.u-net.com/bettysclinic.htm www.wwf.com www.iowrestling.com daddy knows best http://www.sufc.co.uk/ http://www.htfc-world.com/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Born from an egg on a mountain top...
by Lucy Alder 30 Mar '01

30 Mar '01

Hello Sinister! I've got that Friday feeling and it's not even three o'clock and the sun is shining and my dancing feet are twitching and I want to be outside! I hope it's sunny and kind when we're at ATP. I haven't been to the seaside for over a year, apart from a yucky trip to freezing, rainy Brighton in January, which doesn't count because we had hot chocolate instead of Mr Whippy. And tonight I'm going to see the Aislers Set, hurrah! And I'm going to see them tomorrow too, hurrah! This may be bordering on the crazymadfoolish, but the gig tomorrow is free and there will be Troy beer. Honour the Troy! Wanna hear about my latest Sinister dream? Miss Honey was taking assembly in my old school hall, wearing a well-cut tweed skirt (with a split right up the back showing her fishnet stockings) and a cream, slightly see-through blouse, a long string of pearls swinging from her neck and half-moon spectacles resting on the end of her nose. On every seat was the delicate behind of a Sinisterine. After Miss Honey had finished her sermon on how we should all love our neighbours, she said "now, we'll sing a hymn!" and lit up the overhead projector. Above us appeared the words to The Boy With The Arab Strap, written in green pen. I was sitting at the grand piano, so I started to play, my left hand going like the clappers. I looked up and all my friends were playing instruments too - Ally96 and the Pinefox had guitars, Lixi was striking her glockenspiel with precision and imagination, Mark C had a big pink double bass and Sally and David Moore shook tambourines and their hips. Chris Brown had a woodblock, Martin had his hands wrapped around a pair of big round maracas and Vel, Carey and Elena were special choir girls in special choir girl outfits who could do the difficult harmony bits. Handclaps were supplied by *everyone*. It was the only assembly I've ever been in where nobody had to be threatened with a ruler if they didn't sing. I'm not sure why I'm dreaming things like this. Maybe it's the sunshine! And ATP in one week! Yay! Are there donkeys at Camber Sands? Juicy Lucy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: godel's incompleteness theorem (supply your own umlaut)
by Gordon 30 Mar '01

30 Mar '01

Hullo. Jules and Mike are engaging to be married: delightful news! Mike, following an earlier thread about Welsh homework and list crushes, or Welsh boys and dreaming of classrooms or something, mentioned coincidences. astrology professor My best friend from school left our little home-town in Scotland a few years back to work for a big posh company and is now based in Chicago. He *flies* to work. Anyway, he was back here for Christmas and let slip that he has been seeing this girl since last summer. This is big news because, like me, he's 30 and this is his first proper girlfriend. However, I didn't think to disseminate the information until this Wednesday, when I suddenly felt the urge to mention of him and his gf to an acquaintance. Yesterday, I get an E-mail from this friend saying he and 'is girl are coming over to visit, *today*, before flying on to Istanbul to meet his girl's family...! More wedding bells on the horizon, perchance? An anonymous benefactor has just donated £1/2M to endow a chair in astrology at a (Scottish?) university. I don't believe in astrology (yet) but I don't think it's hocus pocus either. There are those who dismiss it on the grounds that 'it can't be true because I can't understand why it could be true'. Parallel lines intersect. not being there is another way of being here Carsmile and a guy from B&S mentioned the Aislers Set. I heard them on John Peel and immediately thought 'that sounds like list like music'. Seemingly so. Since I'm beginning to make Howard Hughes seem like a socialite, I won't be going to any gigs. As Archel says, "included in the places i won't be are london, glasgow and camber sands." I'll probably get the album. Does it have breathy female vocals? I can't remember now... The list of locations at which neither Archel, (I make an assumption here) nor myself, shall be in attendance, grows: the very first *leicester fiesta* (christened by Madeleine,although she doesn't yet realise it) happens this saturday. says John Jennings. Have fun all and one; one and all, and may the sun shine like it did in San Fransisco on Thursday. eidelweiss Do you yodel, vodkabird? http://www.foxhome.com/soundofmusic/est/mus/musm.html I have a mission to get the world to yodel. lieutenant scheisskopf On the subject of missions, I've been reading Heller's *Catch 22* in which the protagonist, Yossarian, is on a mission to avoid flying any more combat missions (it's a WW2 story). For the past ten minutes I have been shuddering whilst visions of wheels slicing through my neck and my lifeblood splattering the filing system. says Sarah Clarke. There's a good splat passage in '22' as well: Kid Sampson has just been sliced in half by a propeller of McWatt's low-flying aeroplane: There was the briefest, softest *tsst!* filtering audibly through the shattering, overwhelming howl of the plane's engines, and then there were just Kid Sampson's two pale, skinny legs, still joined by strings somehow at the bloody truncated hips [...] (p.428) covert international roach agenda Iridescence. The word came to me after reading Elenita's description of Bobby, the plastic cockroach. Is bobby's blue and pink carapace a subtle allusion, by those meisters behind the kinder-egg empire, to the spectrum of colours on a real roach depending on the way the light is shining? There is an artist in downtown Teheran. She has built hundreds of cockroaches out of tin and solder then arranged them, lovingly, in her bathroom. It looks supercool, if a little discomfiting. Is there something about girls and roaches to be discovered here? Or girls and potatoes? Raskolnikoff Skinner should become a consultant to the potato 'uses and abuses' panel. The mind boggles. *hear'say* pt.II i won worst dressed. and proud, oh yes, so very proud. but i also won best hairdo!!! says sweetie from Falkirk. Aww. You must draw a lot of attention, is all I can say. You need an agent/manager to steer cash in the direction of your burgeoning fame... then you'll be able to buy your very *own* house! You won't be cajoled into sounding like *hear'say* either. Honest. more money Histrianic girl says 'having pockets full of heavy coins is surprisingly satisfying.' Mmm... maybe I'm cash rich and bank poor, but I'm constantly trying to lose loose change... it's too guilt-inducing to throw it in the trash but too embarrassingly pocket-bulgy to take on my travels. There's nothing quite so awkward as fumbling for an age in one's trouser pocket in front of the attractive cashier at the alcoholic shop. Anyone join me on a campaign to take 1p's and 2p's out of circulation? Do you guys in America still have cents? I have a note of massive denomination from the former Yugoslavia that would have rendered me a millionaire had they not scrapped the currency days before my acquisition of it. Boo. I'd hve put it toward's the 'red to black' art project which is currently sponsored by my bank, and Visa international. I'm running oot of ink and paper; I'm *oot for lunch*: I'll see yoo later.

Sinister: Coincidences and dreams
by Mikey 30 Mar '01

30 Mar '01

Hiya, p.carter(a)bathspa.ac.uk wrote: "Has anyone else on this list had similar coincidences/fates?" And yup, I have. One of the first posts I recollect from when I first joined sinister was one of Jules Markhams black fox fables. I then had a dream about her, she had ginger hair and was wearing glasses. She had a big brown coat on and was walking by a riverside tossing stones into the river. About a year later I met her. She had ginger hair and glasses, and although her coat was green and not brown it was otherwise pretty similar. And of course now we're engaged. I just thought I'd share that story. Dunno why.
