Sinister: Superlative? Shurely shome mishtake?
by Ailsa Ross 22 May '01

22 May '01

Good God. Not even poked my head round the nursery door, having been away for more months than I care to remember, and already I'm being described as superlative. Has it been like this all the time I've been away? I should go away more often. Er, hello. I'm Ailsa, erstwhile moaner of this parish. I'm not married yet, but I will be soon. I still haven't heard Jonathan David, as I now listen to Radio Two as befits an old nearly-married woman. Radio Two rocks as they played the Trash Can Sinatras once, which is more than Radio One ever do. They haven't played B&S yet when I've been listening, though Ken Bruce does play the Smiths, which is nice. Archel is much more superlative than I am. And I don't have a first class honours degree in English so I'm allowed to use grammatically incorrect phrases like "much more superlative" (superlatively superlative?). Yay, I'm going to the Albert Hall, which is just great. Do people still say "grate" round here, or is that a bit passe? God, I feel like a stranger round these parts. Are people pointing at me and laughing? Since I came back, people have been talking a lot about Pretty in Pink and the Breakfast Club, which is A GOOD THING. Rachel, who is my new favourite person in the world, said >hidden message: smoking marijuana is bad as makes unwary teenagers commit >acts of brutality with blusher. It also makes Emilio Estevez dance in a way which makes me wonder what it was he was *really* smoking. I used to quite like Emilio Estevez when I was young - I think it was his unrequited love for Andie McDowell in St Elmo's Fire which did it. I'm quite a sucker for the unlucky in love. Especially when they try hard. Ducky deserved to be on his own for not trying hard enough. I like losers who end up winning in the end. It kind of restores your faith, even if it hardly ever happens in real life, only in Frasier and Dawson's Creek. Now I've remembered why I left Sinister the last time. It's bloody hard to post anything interesting. I think I'll off and lurk again. Ailsa xx By the way, what's the big deal with slagging off the Saracen's Head? It's a lovely pub, and has Buckfast on an optic behind the bar. If people want a pre-Barrowlands pub, can I suggest McChuills on High Street? It has tons of space, walls decorated in album sleeves for vinyl trainspotters, and a table football table like Joey and Chandler's. And it's just round the corner from the Barrowlands. _________________________________________________________________________ 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: Well with your bad knee Ed, you shouldn't throw anybody.
by Michelle R. 22 May '01

22 May '01

Hellos I haven't posted in like 4 months! Wow. Obviously now is the best time to come out of my hibernation(not that I was to begin with...I was just lazy). Anywho...to all of you who are seeing Belle and Sebastian: You bastards. Nah really I love you all it's just I'm insanely jealous ;) I don't have the money to be spending on trips to England so there goes that option. One of you should bum rush the stage...that would be a sight, especially at Albert Hall. Although I've never been there so who knows if they have frightening security around the stage. Or not. I'm saving up for concerts and an apartment this summer. Although I keep reading horoscopes that say I'm going to be skint. Well, I'll try my darndest. The Radiohead concert will, no doubt, cost a pretty penny when they come. I'm also seeing Julieta Venegas which isn't cheap either. She's amazing...I recommend you all buy her album "Buen Invento." Although the language barrier puts people off when it comes to Spanish music. I don't understand why, if you're all nuts for the French music (so am I, but hey). Well I'm going to see B&S on the West Coast if that's where they will only choose to play...so saving up for that as well. Thus, I will be eating bread and water this summer! People have been talking about John Hughes/the 80's which is great. I get so happy everytime I see any of his films. I guess because it's like deja vu when I see them. I also keep trying to remember the show Grace the secretary from "ferris Bueller's Day off" was in...I know she was called Mrs. Pool (The Hogans?). It's a strange thing to think about, I know, but it's been a re-occuring topic in my head! I think someone also mentioned Jem a while ago which was a bad ass show. Anyone remember "The Littles?" Thinking back, that was a twee show of sorts. Then again I'm inclined to think anything with cute elf people is. There was alot more I was going to say but I can't remember. Oh well.

Sinister: Round two.
by Intellectualvoid＠aol.com 22 May '01

22 May '01

Greetings Sinister folk. I'm hiding out in my cavernous, cool home now, with great relief, listening to a killer B&S mixed tape. The Troubador said: "Why do all the pretty girls come out when it is sunny?" Ha! Wouldn't you like to know what they did the rest of the year? I think it's true, although, round these parts, all the pretty girls are quite plastic and bleached to faux sun perfection, and they only come out at night in their go-go boots. It's terribly pathetic. I do not claim to be one of them; I hide out inside when it's sunny, lest I be burnt to a crisp. And as for toasters and weddings. . . well. I abhor toasters. If I don't like the people, I'll get one for them. And while I really don't know the suddenly betrothed listees all that well, I think I'd probably send them something else. . . maybe an ashtray, at the very least. Perhaps a lifesize Molly Ringwald blow-up, if such a thing could still exist, and let them have at it. My freedom is about to be seriously curtailed; I am jobless no more. Next Tuesday, I start work at the University, and school, once again. I am a slave to the scholarly arts. I will miss loafing around, desperately, but I am determined to, finally, finish up this degree. All the lovely useless things I've been able to do for the past few months. . . sigh. This is the second round of higher education for me, the first having been a four-year drinking extravaganza, among other things. Well, here goes again. Anyway, love to you all.

>From: ROBERT DONLAN <gg0u9220(a)liverpool.ac.uk> >Does anyone actually buy toasters other than for wedding presents? The >grill is more than adequate at making toast. I don't know... some people. Y'all, Ok, this is Ms. Vilkas coming to you from the peanut gallery. I'd like to publicly defend the toaster. Toast is one of mankind's highest acheivments, and the toaster in it's slotted and oven forms is the best newfangled, modern, tool for the job. Ok. I had toast with butter, a green apple, and coffee for breakfast this morning. Lovin you and leavin you like a slow jam, Ms. Vilkas Today's soundtrack: Soulfly & JJ72 back and forth. I think everybody should listen to more Soulfly. I would write more, but I'm afraid I've nothing else to say other than this taost talk, and yes I know there's a list for toast and yes I'm on it...but this is a response to this list so that's it. I think. Nope. Just a little bit more. Are any of you going to any of the "one in four" shows? It's sunny. I'm going outside. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Hannah Brown said; >MMMM, pyramid song is amazing, ive got a promo of it with the track listing >of the new album, how very exciting. > Fukking amazing. I think the album is so good I want to die (well yeah i know, exagurating). Fave tracks of the moment: packt like sardines in a crushd tin box, and life in a glass house. Soo good. It is weird because all but a couple of those songs have been floating around on the internet for a long time, it is just that they were live versions. I am so happy to hear the studio recordings because, quite frankly, they are a million times better. It's loads better than Kid A. Um I just had to say that, time for some food.

Sinister: ummm....
by Joe Vester 22 May '01

22 May '01

My first post! I hate it when people put exclamations in stuff like that or in brackets (!) anyhow, have been saving up what seemed like interesting titbits for my first post but all of them have deserted me or seem hopelessly inadequate now that it comes to typing them out. Continuing the whole covers debate, I reckon that they should do a reggae cover like of "No woman no cry" or if not that then some hip-hop track with Isobel rapping in her nice little scots voice. No other takers? oh well... I might buy one of Peter Carter's t-shirts if they were nice cloth and really cheap (like £1 or sommat) but I'd prefer a B&S one but don't know where I could get one (that senetence had too many buts and ands in it for my liking) This whole stepping on three drain covers thing has suddenly sprung upon me from no-where. Until just over a month ago I had never in my life heard of this piece of superstition and then I met some girls who did it and now it seems all of sinister does so how did it pass me by? They weren't even very twee girls. One was a goth and the other carried a bag with all this stuff tied on like mangled toys, huge safety pins and with Incubus, Succubus, Slipknot and Rage Against the Machine scrawled all over it in black marker pen. They(the girls) were a bit scary but I really liked them after a bit of prolonged exposure. will cut the rest short so as not to bore anyone but could someone mail me off list with where I could get a B&S t-shirt, joe +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: keep comin around.....
by Hannah Brown 22 May '01

22 May '01

oh man, Yes, i went to see tindersticks yesterday and they were truely triffic. they played bathtime, another night in, comin around, marbles, en el biablo ( or whatever), jism, cfgf, city sickness and some others. the quality of sound was incredible. there was only one violinist but it sounded like there were four. I got to the front and was wedged inbetween, a twatty alcoholic that kept shouting "stuart" or "stooooooot" after each song and two girly girls that talked through EVERY song about hair and who was a bigger fan. But it was amazing. Stuart is a great front man and has PROJECTION to the max. He started a new song but stopped it half way through cause he said it didnt sound good enough,bless. I bought a t-shirt with "curtains" at the front and that cool rocket on the back. I also got eyed up all night by a young bloke. After every song he smiled at me, at the end he smiled again, i think he was headed in my direction but i ran away because i am taken and very happy that way. I had another b&s related dream last night but i cant remember it. (phew, now this messege is site related) I also had some exciting news, my band tape was played in a shop in covent garden and some cool girl asked the people who it was cause it sounded good. That made me chuffed cause it really is shit. Perhaps she was being carcastic. One more thing. BRIER RANDOM you are fantastic. i got your shiney package this morning and im gonna do my damdest to read it within a year. i will sent you something exciting and strange to say thank you, that really was unexpected. thats it for now ..hannah +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: You know who to turn to now everythings changed...
by ROBERT DONLAN 22 May '01

22 May '01

The comment bout Autechre was actually very funny. Good stuff, whoever said it. Bridesmaid?? Hmm as long as you promise you have thought it through, i don't want you rushing into this... Marriage is a very big step foward you know... The prospect scares the hell out of me. I reckon weddings should never be your own. Unless...no. That's far too sinister. Does anyone actually buy toasters other than for wedding presents? The grill is more than adequate at making toast. I don't know... some people. Going to watch Clearlake soon. They make great songs for summer days. The summer is here it must be... 3 bar-be-ques in two days. Alf Stewart would be proud... Why do all the pretty girls come out when it is sunny? What do they do for the rest of the year? Lay on sun beds? Practice pouting? Not complaining mind, either my hair is getting too long or im in demand...Ooh just think Is Hannah Brown going to be at the wedding? You know, just wondered...

Sinister: Footie! Tonight!
by Mark Casarotto 22 May '01

22 May '01

Hello all, This is just a reminder that the inaugural Sinister football meet-up is taking place THIS EVENING in London's trendy Regent's Park - ten or so of us are confirmed, but if there's anyone out there who didn't know about it who'd like to come along, then please do - we'll just be having a kickabout really, and none of us are any good. We're meeting at 7 pm at the Baker Street entrance to Regent's Park - we'll be the ones not looking quite as athletic as everyone else. And more twee. Possibly. (and if you'd like to find out about future footie occasions, please join our mailing list at sinisterfitba-subscribe(a)yahoogroups.com <mailto:sinisterfitba-subscribe@yahoogroups.com> - ta!)
