Sinister: who is the girl that plays the tambourine?
by Primitivepainter＠aol.com 27 Mar '01

27 Mar '01

"singing ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba dee iii" "If you'd like to know what popstars have for tea,(ask velocity)" Well i made that last bit up, as all you popkids know its actually ask johnny dee. I was wondering to myself about the origins of the sha la la la la la,"it happens",or ba ba ba ba de ba de ba ba "hey there fred",you know those bits of songs that have no lyrics,where a ba or a la or even a sha la suffices, how many of you have sang along with the trumpet part from dog on wheels with a "ba baba baba" come to think of it maybe its just me?!?,in which case i'm making a fool of myself!,oh well nothing new there. See i've been making a tape for the lovely laura llew(i hereby decree that all references made to laura llew should be preceded by the word lovely,because 1:her names laura and 2:she is after all lovely,simple really)and it surprised me by the amount of babas and lalas that have manifested on this tape! it wasn't a conscious thing,i listened back to it,and it was very eerie, almost every song has a burst of some sort. 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? it matters not,a tape is on the way. well kids enough,thankyou for your time, a final lala and a baba,and i'm gone. primitive painter. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Tiger T-shirt milk
by JASON A. 27 Mar '01

27 Mar '01

Hmmm I have been on the hunt for a B&s shirt for so long now. Of course they are all over the internet and I have even seen some on E-bay ( and lost the bid of course) but I just cant seem to find one in any record shop in the bay area (San Francisco) You would think that there would be some in San Francisco but I cant find it. I have to admit it is a bit fun looking but now Im thinking its impossible. My new thing now is collecting Smiths shirts . By the end of the summer I want to have a nice collection with out buying them online bucause that is cheating and it takes all the fun out of the hunt. Well if any of you Sinesters can help me out with finding a B&S shirt in san Francisco area let me know. ??? thanks. jason a. Does anyone watch a show called COLD FEET, its irish ??? _________________________________________________________________ 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: It's a Leicester Fiesta
by Madeleine McNeil 27 Mar '01

27 Mar '01

Hooray! We're going dancing. If anyone still wants to that is. If not, I'm still going dancing anyway. Who is coming to Leicester this weekend? Can you email me giving me an description of your appearance and a general idea of your likes and dislikes so I can think of some witty, charming things to say in advance? Tonight I am trying Snakebite for the first time - I thought I should now I'm a student. It's a bit inbetweeny really, and I don't think I like it but it's still fizzy and inebriating. Once again, hooray.

Sinister: I love it when a plan comes together
by Mark Hester 27 Mar '01

27 Mar '01

Well, after consulting an inebriated sage in an Oxford hostelry and about six telephone calls I finally tracked down my mate in Amman and so I shall be jetting off to Jordan for two weeks on 14th April, the week after atp. Calling Jordan from the UK on a mobile is a good way to use up one's credit in one fell swoop. Go forth and make not-so-cheap calls..... Trembling Blue Stars and Tompaulin in Oxford....I thought I'd miss it, but maybe I won't, as I discover that my plane back home from holiday lands at Heathrow at 8.50 in the morning. Good. I suspect I shall have to get hold of some decoffeenated caffeine to ensure that I stay composmentis until the evening though. I need to buy a hat, something with a wide brim which is more substantial than a straw hat but not made of thick material either. This'll serve two purposes; as an identification aid at London Bridge Station en route to All Tomorrow's Parties and to keep the sun off in Jordan. Anyone been to Jordan? Advice on where to go, what to do and what not to do would be greatly appreciated. Go to Petra and Aqaba and don't eat salads is as far as I've got so far. mArk _________________________________________________________________________ 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: bisexual scrabble champions.
by Dairy Fairy 27 Mar '01

27 Mar '01

hello, It's that funny time of year at the moment when you go outside and it feels like a summer evening, all glowy(if that's an adjective) and soft, and then the next day it's snowing. hmm. someone upstairs seems to have fucked up the weather system. and the country, what with all this foot in mouth disease around. It's odd cause I was listening to GZM's Blue Trees the day when foot and mouth broke out, and it has a track called Foot and Mouth '68 (I think that's the year, it was certainly a number with a curvy appearance.) I considered briefly the idea that either I or GZM were psychic, but dismissed the idea on the basis that if you listen to music constantly then somethings bound to happen that links to the music. And nobody thinks they're psychic if they're listening to 'Here comes the night' in the evening and then it happens. That was all very badly expressed, but i'm sure you get the idea, being as you are intelligent beings. Today I have to worry about whether I'm in an intelligent being as well beacuse it's parent's evening. It distresses me somewhat that despite the fact my education is now voluntary, i am still forced into 'inviting' my parents to meet my teachers. It worries me because my dad is a bit of a socialist nutter and is apt to go off on a rant. I think it's lovely that he's still got his beliefs, but I think my teacher's suspect him to be a Russian spy. Also I have not been keeping up very well recently. But it's very hard when I have to pretend I'm interested in physics, chemistry AND biology. I stick out like a sore thumb amongst the rest of the class who are all neat and tidy and find dipoles interesting. I would feel a lot happier in the art room, unfortunately I am shit at art, which is a pity. Somewhere inside me there must be an artistic gene fighting it out with the ability to do chemical equations gene. It's just the chemistry one is dominant. I'm going to ATP. Did you know that's an energy carrying molecule? And every time is see it in a text book I get all excited about it because it's so long since last summer's festivals and I love the feeling you get at a festival when you think, wow, everyone here loves lovely music too. Apart from at the carling weekends where you think, aagh, too many Limp bizkit people in red caps. They're everwhere in leeds, almost as abundant as the goths. Apparantly we have more goths per square mile then anywhere else in the country. Although i think this is probably an inaccurate measurement since they are all concentrated in the corn exchange and my train statio benches. Did anyone else see that thing about Geri considering being bi? Bit bizarre since she's made a career out of being a man eater. And i think most people have ocasionally thought that someone of the same sex is a bit sexy. unless that's just me, in which case i wil blush and stumble into a corner. ooh, i have gone on a bit, but then not many people have posted today so i guess that's ok. cheerio, Grace --- And she spent the rest of the day separating the bits from the marmalade, or, if you prefer, the marmalade from the bits.

Sinister: Erm...is this thing on?
by Jason McKinnon 27 Mar '01

27 Mar '01

Greetings and Salutations, Sinisterians: LEND ME YOUR EYES. <<This just in: All's quiet on the western front...more news at 11.>> You know, I have never been a big fan of silence. In fact, when I moved away from the South(U.S.) to California, I found it hard to sleep because the big city was more quiet than the backwoods of my childhood home. Cicadas are very loud in numbers. You can learn to live with almost anything. You can even become dependent upon things you dislike. So, several trips to #sinister have revealed that the silence has even permeated there. NOTE TO LISTEES WHO AREN"T FAMILIAR WITH #SINISTER: (It's a chat on IRC where you can talk to Sinister people real-time. See the website for details.) I have often mused upon the difference between the "LIST" and "#sinister" and the people who inhabit them. Before I give MNSHO, I ask for Yours. (We'll try it this way once) So if anyone has thoughts, chime in. (yeah, you in the back with the french braids....what do you wanna be when you grow up?) WEINERDOG: Let me say this once. The band in Welcome to the Dollhouse rocks my world. By the way, the actress who played the main character in Welcome to the Dollhouse IS turning out to be cute (IRL). Never let my powers of Puberty ESP be doubted. (Please see MelbaToast in Dazed and Confused) B and S doing half the soundtrack: As the Troglodyte in Jimmy Castor Bunch says: ME LIKE! OK, enough already....now remember whenever it gets this "Silent in Sinister", PF and I only get weirder. We'll make you say, "What's in this tea again?" in a panicked voice the next time. and I'm spent........ THE Pickle Prince P.S. Gotta give a Clout-out to all my peeps who joined in the Scottish-Cheapness situation-conversation, and for those of you who didn't agree or give any criticism besides saying that my post was what he HATES about sinister(I don't want to mention your name - STARFIRE,STARFIRESTARFIRESTARFIRESTARFIRESTARFIRESTARFIRESTARFIRESTARFIRESTARFIRESTARFIRESTARFIRESTARFIRESTARFIRESTARFIRESTARFIRESTARFIRESTARFIRESTARFIRE) I can *wait* til YOU post for once.

Sinister: They Said You Get What You Deserve, And All They Said Was True
by P F 27 Mar '01

27 Mar '01

White space. Pink noise. Either I have just been excommunicated, or this is the quietest day on sinister since September 1995. Youn said plenty interesting things, like she does. >>> Todd Solondz does a much better job satirizing American suburban family life in "Happiness" than the director of "American Beauty" does. Yeah, but wait till you see A Kiss In The Strawberry Dreamhouse. The spoons from the Velocity Girl and the cheese-grater / fish-slice act from Helen Shapiro are going to be worth the admission fee alone. It's all about the money. It's all about Lucille, it's all about Adelaide, it's all about the money. >>> Did anyone see "Ratcatcher"? Yes. It is very bad. >>> Or maybe the Foxgloves could contribute a speeded up version of "Daystar" then, with loud guitars. Maybe they could. I'll have to ask them. But I heard that one of them thought that the film was very bad. So I don't know how they'd feel about the extra work of making the guitars louder. Still, they are harlots, that's what I heard. It's all about the honey. >>> I love Pam Berry's voice when she sings 'GARden' and Alasdair's when he sings 'aWAY'! Her voice really reminds me of pines - something fresh and green - delicate but strong at the same time. It's funny you should say that. Her voice always reminds me of worms. Glowing worms, in the dark. Or maybe stones, or shells, or old movie stars. I don't know why. >>> Joey Sweeney, who's a writer for the Philadelphia Weekly now I guess, I guess. But be sure not to mix him up with TONY Sweeney. You won't do that, will you? Good. I just heard that there is a legendary Poetry Cafe version of that Clientele song, by the way. It lives somewhere in Chelmsford. I think that I'll go out and get bored. >>> Matching voices for duets would be fun. I think Harriet Wheeler would sound nice with Alasdair, too. Well, yes. Harriet Wheeler would sound nice. I mean, has she ever failed to do so? I bet the prospect would sound nice to AC, too. But frankly I would not be able to tolerate it, it would just make me too jealous. I would rather HW came and sang with me. If she didn't want to do that, or if my pop colleagues objected, then she could always come and do something else. Walk in the park. Cook. Go to a footy match. I'll pay, Harriet, honest, even if it has to be Stamford Bridge. We'll never get to Cardiff now. I mean, really, we don't have to sing. We can do whatever you like.

Sinister: Is there anybody out there?
by Hewitt, Stephen 27 Mar '01

27 Mar '01

Hello babies you are all being terribly quiet, are you OK? ---picnic update--- So, I reckon the picnic plans look something like this: Camber Sands on the beach at some point Leicester at some point April 28th Oxford, University parks prolly unless it's raining, in which case PUB, then on to trembling blue stars and tompaulin (or napalm death, if you are feeling that way inclined) May 5th London Village either Primrose 'ill or Greenwich for bank holiday fun and frolics... ---picnic update--- Some of you may remember, in days gone by, a young gentleman called Ian Anscombe used to be on the list (search the archives for sarah;cracknell;basement for more info). Anyway he asked me if i would pass on the following message for him :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ hello lovely people. i hope some of you remember me. i remember you all, of course, because you were beautiful. i was wondering.... being as you're all so lovely and all... if any of you that know me in a vague internetty sort of way has a floor that my friend karen and i can crash on a week on thursday - that is, the night of AnTiciPate, before all tomorrow's parties. we are coming down from the fair city of birmingham and would like to go to a nice indie disco the night before. in return, i offer you eternal friendship, chocolate biscuits and other things, too wonderful to mention here. infact, so wonderful that i haven't thought what they are yet. (probably a drink) thank you, oh wonderful southern ones. xx ian ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Oh look, he even mentions AnTiciPate too, saves me a job :) Anyway, I've broken the silence now so come on, get nattering xoxo CarsmileSteve +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: you'll be fine
by Lauren L. 26 Mar '01

26 Mar '01

Hi... I mostly slept today because this week was a killer. The dogwood trees are starting to bud.... they're the prettiest trees ever, except for japanese magnolias and the cherry blossoms that I have to see one day in d.c. jessica stuart wrote: >painting usually keeps me sane but lately it only >gives me sleepless >night. i sit there... staring at it... i close my eyes >to go to bed and i am >still staring at it... still working on it... and it >is consuming me... i don't think this is a good thing. I think I know the feeling... that weird time when it's late and quiet, and the front of your head is pounding and your eyes are squinting and heavy as you try to paint a really thin line on something, and all you can think about is to make the picture look better... and the fumes of the paint make you feel all dirty and tired. When you finally go to sleep, all you can see is that squiggly thin line and your unsteady fingers tediously trying to paint it longer and longer. Yes. The only Academy Award big deal movie I saw was "Pollack" which was really cool but made me feel like my painting was a big fat joke. Oh well. Paddington Bear was okay enough, but when I was little I was a much bigger fan of Corduroy the Bear... the one that lost the button off of his corduroy overalls and got locked in the department store at night when he tried to look for it. Laura Llew wrote: >I finally moved after a relatively short time in >hopes that I would erase her fear that one day she >might walk into our dorm room to find me in my >confederate flag bikini dancing around to "Dixie" ...scary... I know people who have done this! maybe I shouldn't admit to that. >(which is what I always use as my talent in all the >beauty pageants I enter). EEK. I saw a special inside look into beauty pageants. I don't understand how they can make those girls' hair poof out like that... it's like straight at the top, but then when it gets to their shoulders it BURSTS out in thousands of curls... plus, it never moves... EVER. The anxious mothers wait in the audience nervously cluctching bottles of hairspray. They play grocery store music in the background. >I have shunned the sun since High School thus making >me into quite the whitey. The sun is so mean to me. If I sit out for too long, I turn lobster red and pass out. Then, I don't move for a few days. So, I tend to avoid too much sun. I am moderately pasty as a result. Maybe it's for the better... one of our teachers always tells us that suntanning is a sin because it harms our bodies and makes us more prone to skin cancer. Really late last night, I was driving home by myself after having a lot of fun... and they played most of IYFS on the radio... I drove really fast and just sang the whole way... it was really perfect. Night night. Lauren __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
