Sinister: We didn't have this kind of wait when we went private...
by John Jennings 03 Apr '01

Moorning Sinisterines... I'm afraid I couldn't think of a good subject so I just quoted from Holby City which I'm watching at the moment... sorry 'bout that. Also its quite an eevil anti-nhs quote, so i'm even more sorry... eek... Ooh btw this post has nothing of interest in it so if you want to press delete, pleeeease do; I don't want any scary people coming round my house and jumping on my hamster... or something. Dum de dum That leicester fiesta which I was plugging so much last week ended up going ahead without me (sob)... its a long story but my faith in public transport is no more, alas. Sorry to everyone who went though... eeek... I was playing with my friend's new shiny wap phone in french today and its wicked! It took me a little while to figure out how to use it, and i ended up at russelgrant.com which was cool because my horoscope was something like 'your friends finally accept you for who you are, so you're happy all this week' (right so far) 'no more being called an oddball!' (not right, but hey, we can wish) 'but don't become complacent' (complacent? me?)... Anyway, it made me laugh, and I got told off by the drama teacher who was covering our lesson. And then the phone's batteries ran out and it made this really loud beeping noise and i got told off even more, which made me grumpy because we didn't even have any work to do. grrr. ok so its not *that* wicked. hmm... Also i bought the aislers set and the kings of convenience albums today and they're both graaaate... but you already know that from the hoards of sinisterines who have already said exactly the same thing... grr... ooh also i found the last 'now' album which i bought (sob, i used to like pop music, i admit it) 'now 33' it was... and i listened to it all through and it made me laugh... and now i'm happy... but also annoyed because i ordered the clientele cd ('suburban light' - grate album from what i've heard of it) from davista.co.uk 'bout a week and a half ago... and i still haven't got it... and i was going to phone them but its too late... i've now learnt my lesson about this internet shopping thing... back to 'real' shops it is then... Nigel's post was a bit like the Rachel Papers wasn't it?... counting down 'till hes twenty and all that... well I thought it was... Sorry, i did warn you that this has nothing of interest. So I'll go then John. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: the tide of old age is coming in
by Nigel R. Townshend 03 Apr '01

I started doing an IQ test but i couldn't be arsed to finish it, that says a lot about my IQ. Today has been warmer than any other day this year yey! i like the summer you can go out to clubs in just you t shirt and not feel the cold on the way home. unlike last night where i was freezing my ass off outside the corpartion ( a rock club in Sheffield) it was a cool night although i was slighty alarmed to find out i know all the words to wait and bleed by slipknot, how did that happen ? I have no idea. very exicted alisers set play tomorrow and why am i so exicted becuse i am going to be Djing yey! so that should be nice, although i'm doing the last hour which will be the second hour of me being 20, i'm going to miss being a teenager, tantrums, shouting for no reason etc. so what has the future in stall for me? wearing suits i suppose NOOOOOOOOoooooooooo i'm sure i'll get used to it. anyway i guess this will be my last message of being 19. i shall return a man, or something...

Sinister: Elvis lives in evil Levis
by Ian Nicolson 03 Apr '01

03 Apr '01

My, we've all gone shy again, haven't we? It always unnerves me somewhat when it goes quiet (...try not to fart...try not to fart...) - maybe you're all giggling behind my back. But this is the second time in two weeks that this has happened, and just when my work has become so boring I could die as well. Don't you know it's your duty to entertain me, Sinister? Cause if you don't then you just get idiots like me trying desperately to think of things to post, just to keep keep myself entertained. Such as this: Where I work we spend a lot of time looking through all the records (that's births and deaths and stuff, rather than 45s and EPs) kept in Scotland and last week we were amused to find that in 1901 there were two men in Shetland called Hay Hay. Now while this might be ample excuse, if any were needed, for a rendition of the Monkees theme tune, or even, perhaps, an impression of the Fonz, it's not really something that 1400 souls are going to be interested in, is it? So start posting again, or else I'm going to have to think up more dismal nonsense to annoy you with! Some stuff that people said: Blake: (how are your Seven doing, by the way? Sorry, that's probably the millionth time someone's said that) >does everyone know that if you search for your name >via yahoo or google or something, and you've posted, >that your posts will turn up? That scares me. So, being an inquisitive sort I tried this, but all that I got was stuff about yachts and St Mirren. Which does explain one of the more odd phone calls I've ever had - that time Tom Hendrie called me up..no, no not that one. But that one, about five years ago, when I was working in an advertising agency and I got a phone call from someone asking if I could come and fix his boat, cause I'd worked on it about 15 years previous. I was highly dubious about this as I would only have been three at the time and while I was obviously a talented child, fixing boats was probably a bit beyond me. So finding out that Ian M Nicolson is an authority on yacht building was something of a relief. Although how this feller got my works phone number is still a puzzle. Archel: >change in pockets: has anyone done the gender test at >www.thespark.com? we worked out that of the 50 plus questions, >the only one they use to really determine your gender is 'do you carry >stuff in your pockets?' if no, you're officially >a girl. Well, I'm a chap and I carry stuff in my pockets and I said I did, but I still ended up being a woman. Darn. See, this is the shite that you have to read when you don't post, so do something now! It can't be any worse than this.

Sinister: DAMNATION!!!
by h.brown6＠camb.linst.ac.uk 02 Apr '01

Pants! i was set to come back to leic for the meeting but i had a hairy night friday and slept all sat. Im here for 2 weeks so if anything else is happening let me know. Everything here is different again, all the shops have moved and there is a cute guy in one of them. I hate seeing cuteies in shops, i forget to breath and go a bit dapsy. people keep mentioning thier parents opinion on B&S. my dad reckons it's like "sunday morning music" and my mum thinks it all sounds out of tune. i bought the TORTOISE album last week, its good isnt it. Does anyone here like mr scruff? I've just gone on his web site and it is AMAZING. Are there a lot of you here that are crap at pulling or are you just too modest? Ive always been impressivly rubbish at it so any disasterous stories would be much apreciated. im off to doodle some amps... hannah +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Five Days
by Ian Hatcher 02 Apr '01

02 Apr '01

bonjour chaps and chapesses, wowie, at last i met some real live sinister types, and very nice they were too. and i'm not talking about you're run-of-the-mill sinister types here, oh no. for it was a gathering of legends unseen since the days of mount olympus . . . well, perhaps not, but nearly. so hello again everyone who was there, and thank you for not being thirty stone moustachioed men with bad personal hygiene and funny teeth (not that there's anything wrong with being a thirty stone moustachioed man with bad personal hygiene and funny teeth. . .). ooh, and the aislers set were grate. but they didn't have any badges, so boo. but i did manage to record the gig with the help of a microphone borrowed off the band (i must be the worst bootlegger in the history of bootlegging. i had to ask the band if i could borrow a mike :)), so if any of the kids who were so nice and didn't eat me would like a copy just e-mail me off list . . . it's the sunniest day ever today. and i'm listening to the trembling blue stars thinking that i've soon got to get some books to write an essay (the last essay i'll ever have to write. apart from exams but they don't count). i'm also thinking that my field mice/sarah records obsession is getting all out of control and if i'm not careful i won't have any money left to go on holiday and my friends would kill me. with spoons. here comes the obligatory ian-asking-about-bands bit . . . i'm thinking i might purchase a serge gainsbourg album or two cos some were rereleased a while back on 10" vinyl, which is surely the best size any record can be (those who understand my love of the number ten and my belief that all things musical should involve 10 will appreciate this. look at it this way: the (every-so-slightly obvious) 10 felt albums and 10 felt eps in 10 years. every go-betweens album with 10 tracks. the best two b&s album having 10 tracks. the fact that most good albums which have more than 10 tracks would be classics if the band had actually only put 10 on in the first place, eg ooberman and hefner.) enough about the number 10, though, and back to my orginal point. could anyone recommend the poppiest serge album please? i've just realised that in one paragraph i whinged about spending too much and now i'm asking about spending more. ah, the life of a student. . . okey dokey, i'd better go and write (THE LAST BLUDDY EVER) essay, ian. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Do nuns have hair?
by Gardiner, Stuart 02 Apr '01

02 Apr '01

Like many others, I got ever-so-slightly excited at hearing 'Legal Man' on the excellent TV comedy 'Spaced' on Friday night. And then I wondered why, given that I could just go upstairs and play the CD any time I wanted to. /dear diary bit none of you will care about In true Sinister style, my Saturday night was spent consuming jugs of Vodka and Red Bull, before boogying the night away at one of Nottingham's classiest (?) nightspots, The Irish. And imagine my surprise when a startlingly good-looking lady showed her interest in me. Unfortunately, one of my friends also appears to have designs on me at the moment, and insisted on dancing about 6 inches in front of me, despite my best efforts to tell her to piss off and leave me to it. So my barren patch continues (5 months and counting...). So if any of you have any tips on how to get the message through to this friend that she's 9 years older than me, she's got 4 kids, I'm just not interested, let me know. /end dear diary When I was in Newcastle last week for a conference (well, a 3-day long piss-up basically, culminating in a Medieval Banquet on the last night), I had a girl spending 5 minutes persuading me that despite being tall, I don't look like a freak. Should I take this as a compliment? (I have also recently had someone being suprised at my musical taste, because 'You don't look like a Belle and Sebastian fan'...) Meanwhile, Juicy Lucy dreamt: > Mark C had a big pink double bass Which gave me a horrible mental picture. Still, at least it wasn't an oboe.

Sinister: the boy w/ the arab strap, uh, tickets...
by Swine1999＠aol.com 02 Apr '01

02 Apr '01

folks, pete is a young boy from new jersey (a place on the east coast of north america) who has been on the list for ages. he is nice, though at times horribly shy. at other times he is mean, though terribly outgoing. he also normally doesn't write in the third person. tonight he is seemingly in a mood. in recent years (or about the last 6 months) pete has read the list mails. some days he would smirk at the insights of those oh so very european writers. sometimes he would stare blankly at mails he did not understand. other nights, usually while on crack, he would envision the actions that occured in the mails as acted out by dismembered gi joe action figures, all w/ the name of bruce, to a soundtrack of early 90s grunge rock hits as played by yo yo ma. tonight, he is contributing his own words. though these are basically for selfish reasons. you see, he's going to see arab strap on tuesday night in hoboken, new jersey (also on the east coast of north america) and he's the slightest bit curious to find out if others, and by others he means others from the sinister list, are going. or for that matter, are anywhere near hoboken, new jersey (eastern u.s.). if so, email the young boy. he's terribly lonely. except on the days when he's not. love, pete. if this all works out, i'm sure you'll be hearing more from me. if not, it either didn't, or i'm dead. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Ken pulled at school..
by Kenneth P Y Chu 01 Apr '01

01 Apr '01

.. well I did!! Last night I snogged a girl at a night club!!! She saw my excellent dancing and came up to me and gave me a wet snog, apparently to celebrate April Fools Day. Got you fooled there, I just saw everyone talking about chatting up, being chatted up and having chances to chat up but turned it down. So I thought I'd pretend to join in. Some beggar asked me the other day, "Could you spare me 80p?" I told him, "no, but I'M GOING TO ATP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and then proceeded to take it away with some crazy dancing. Fooled you again, I didn't really do that, but I'M GOING TO ATP! I think AnTiciPate should have clever drinks promotions where selected drinks are only "80p", like, erm, Vodka and Red Bull for example. I think my life is slowly starting to work out now, my study is calmly approaching the final furlong, with a job now secured, I now know pretty much where my future lies. Got you again. Fools and Red Bulls!

Sinister: i stare at the sky, and it turns me blind
by Rachel Playforth 01 Apr '01

01 Apr '01

hello sinister, your friendly neighbourhood misanthropist here. had an exhausting but largely unsuccessful shopping trip in london yesterday. camden has apparently succumbed to a plague of 13 year old skater goths in biblical proportions. i was stunned by sheer numbers of them, like little baggy black ants. there's something really odd about seeing them in their aggressive boots, aggressive slipknot-wear and aggressive make-up, but with little innocent pre-teen chubby faces. i think i'm getting old. when i got home i watched the 'top ten x-rated' on channel four, which was hardly full of surprise entries. although i never realised that poor lovely scott walker got banned for saying 'bum'. the success of all the acts featured, post-censorship, makes me wonder whether b&s shouldn't release 'judy is a dick slap' with some gangsta rap lyrics added in and a rudey video. i also watched the von trapp kids extravaganza (i know, i really need to get out more - see last post). the sound of music, as vb suggested, is definitely an epic masterpiece. a couple of years ago i went to salzburg and took part in the sound of music bus tour, where my friend anna and i got to recreate every song and dance routine. you go to the mirabell gardens (do-re-mi steps), THE mountain, and the love scene gazebo. ahhhh... incidentally, we also did some amusing princess leia impressions with large austrian bagels. but we were young. carsmile and i seem to be involved in some kind of psychic race (but i bet i'd beat him in a real race, due to my more moderate alcohol consumption over the years...). and now he's got there first with the mention of (smells of) wee stuart david being 'joined' by peacock johnson in borders. the listing goes on to say 'Observe first hand Peacock's well dressed, badly advised and always utterly compulsive world. The Peacock Manifesto is probably the best black comedy you'll read this year.' as it's only april this strikes me as a fairly bold claim. anyway, i'll be heckling stuart/peacock at brighton borders on the 18th april if anyone wants to join me. ooh, just listening to pj harvey's duet with thom yorke for the first time and it's gorgeous. their voices do complement each other i think, polly's being soft and husky while thom's is ethereal/banshee. change in pockets: has anyone done the gender test at www.thespark.com? we worked out that out of the 50 plus questions, the only one they use to really determine your gender is 'do you carry stuff in your pockets?' if no, you're officially a girl. now my cd player has turned around to the holy bible. depite the kings of convenience, i have not been in a very quiet, twee mood lately. 'why do anything when you can forget everything?' yeah. i have decided to go to canada (toronto i think) when my job finishes in september. not for good (yet) but for a week or two. i know it's a long way off yet, but if any canadian listees want to give me info or advice, or meet up, that would be cool. now i'm off into town to buy the stuff i didn't get yesterday. london has let me down indeed. luv archel xxx *************************************** Rachel Playforth 'She may not be famous, but she's right' - Homer Simpson For the best in new writing on the web, visit www.buzzwords.org.uk Contact us on buzzwords(a)bigfoot.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
