>My friend has a Dreamcast game-burning business now. I don't play >videogames much, but they're free! Am I a bad person? No no no no no, never think you're a bad person because you are foiling a corporation. You are a, well, not quite a "good" person. Remember that you are "stealing." Well, theft can be used as a measure of success in any capitalist nation. Without property, there is nothing to steal. So the more property, the more there is to steal, the more there is to steal, the more theft will take place; this is the measure of any capitalist society. So in a way, you are complimenting the corporations by showing that its property is worth theft; therefor, worth more than the corporations competitors. Believe me when I say that thieves are needed in any capitalist society. >Does anybody else understand the appeal of Anime? My roommate is addicted, >and I just don't understand why. It's bewildering. What's not to like ???? Seriously, anime is an extremely viable, and often a very deep medium. Now not all anime is "good." Shows like "Slayers," "Dragonball," and anything hentai (pornographic) are like anything, the 90% of the medium that is bad, very bad. But it cannot be denied that other shows like "Neon Genesis Evangelion," "Cowboy Bebop," "Ghost in the Shell," "Akira," and others too numerous to mention, push art forward and offer a philosophical outlook often more compelling than modern films of the day. I am a film student, and I must say that my favorite film, animated or otherwise, is "End of Evangelion," which is the theatrical conclusion to the TV series mentioned above. It outclasses most everything I've ever seen, and those that are on its level, or even above, rarely, if ever, connect with its audience in a more profound way. phew.... ok off the soapbox sorry to fill your mailbox with my musings, just had to defend Japanese Animation and thieves everywhere (Shoplifters of the world, unite and take over!) - Jason - we got heads on sticks - Radiohead Kid A +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: forearm!!!!
by Hannah Brown 21 May '01

21 May '01

with regards to the "kissing you elbow debate" i wouldnt take it too seriously, and attempting to reinact lyrics is dangerous. She may have been kissing the inside of her elbow, but that would have been too much of a mouthful. It seems to me that they used "elbow" because it fitted. For instance "neck" has only got one syllabul(SP?) and "bellybutton" is stupid. I had some strange dreams the other night. I dreamt that PF had purple hair and was handing round a box of grey and blue stones. we were all looking for a B&S stone but couldnt find any. I also dreamt that me and sam were lying on a bed of giant honey sandwiches and scoffing our faces. I think sinister is getting to me a bit. I bought the new tindersticks album, ive only listened to some of it but its lovely, they have a strange obsession with donkeys dont you think? Hey, roll on tonight, im gonna take a mini disc, record the gig and sell it on to other people for hard cash (that last bit was a lie). MMMM, pyramid song is amazing, ive got a promo of it with the track listing of the new album, how very exciting. one more thing, um, peter carter and sam walton, please make up. I can feel some tension mounting between you both and i dont want any of that on this site. I know that sam has feeings for peter, he just has difficulty expressing it, and im sure peter feels the same, so go on guys, kiss and make up. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: bad news is better taken on bended knee
by Paul Arathoon 21 May '01

21 May '01

Today, whilst wandering with few aims and less intentions, around Borders bookshop I picked up a copy of Record Collector magazine. Not sure why I did, but opening it up I saw they had their poll of readers' favourite bands. all 500 of them. Scanning down the list which started predictably with the Beatles, I noticed Belle and Sebastian in like a bullet at number... 367. Shockingly, 117 places worse off than they had been in 1999. Bands more popular than B&S included Van der Graaf Generator and Asia.(I bet that's the first time those 3 have been mentioned in the same sentence) I'm excited to be going off to glasgow for a day of Belle, Sebastian, and Buckfast for the 16th though less enamoured with the prospect of hours at the mercy of the train network. and i am even more excited at going to the Albert Hall cos it is a bit posh. I'm enjoying work despite the air conditioning going a bit wrong and making the office 38c at 10am on tuesday. On the plus side we had to be let home becasue the computer server network was not enjoying the greenhouse effect. It was like working in sauna minus all the advantages of working in a sauna. hope to see some of you at a picnic sometime P a u l _________________________________________________________________________ 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: Ten Things
by Vilkas D'Angelo-Horvath 21 May '01

21 May '01

Hey folks. This is Ms. Vilkas. I thought I'd get granola on your ass and blow some sunshine your way. *Ten things that rock* 1. Sliding your socks off by means of your toes while between cool fresh dark sheets 2. Orange Juice 3. Getting Enough Sleep 4. Listening to music either on headphones or v-e-r-y loud 5. My kitty cat (always but especially) when he curls into a ball and spoons right next to me 6. Comfortable shoes that let you go and go and go far(especially dancing and or walking) 7. Freshly dyed hair (...in particular when I had the Elvis-black colour; it was like a black hole resting on top of my head. My hair's punk rock white now and much shorter because of the [oops] chemical damage.) 8. Granny Smith or Gala Apples 9. Going places you've never been, from behind the refrigerator to other continents 10. Yogi tea When someone said something extra funny, I almost shot guinness out my nose last Friday evening at a party at my friends house. I can't even remember what he said. dammit. I Know Where the Summer Goes' sounds kinda like 'Who Knows Where the Time Goes?' by Fairport Convention. Sounds like there are some word and sound bits in the newer song that are kinda like hip-hop shout-out references to the older song. Hmmm.... Sam Walton: I think that hearing Pyramid Song next to SClub7 is extra cool. I was given Kool Keith's "Black-Elvis" today. How cool is that? Very. Well I think so anyway. �MWAH!, Ms. Vilkas P.S. Any of yous in Iceland? Any travel/accomadation/that kind of stuff/cool stuff going on advice if you are? +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: 2 free Dumfermline "tix" (maybe)
by Matthew Henderson 21 May '01

21 May '01

Hello all! It is awfully boring here at the office. I should be doing work, but I'm not. Why is this? Why am I so completely unmotivated? Just so tired all the time... My friend has a Dreamcast game-burning business now. I don't play videogames much, but they're free! Am I a bad person? Does anybody else understand the appeal of Anime? My roommate is addicted, and I just don't understand why. It's bewildering. Anyway, I was going to go to the Dunfermline gig with my dad and sister, until they realized they hated belle and sebastian. They now feel their time would be better spent at a local pub while I am at the concert. This means that (unless something happens with my tickets, which I wouldn't rule out knowing my luck) I will have two extra tickets. If anyone wants them, they can have them. I wouldn't dare charge someone for the 'egg'sperience of seeing the greatest band in the world. That's all for now, -ttaM gnihton morf emoc sgniht emos, nothing seems to come from something _________________________________________________________________ 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: list abuse/declarations of love
by Sam Walton 21 May '01

21 May '01

The wonderful Hannah Brown said: >I know that sam has feeings for peter, he just has difficulty expressing >it, and im sure peter feels the same, so go on guys, kiss and make up. Now I'm not one for public declarations, but for this I'll make an exception, so here goes: Peter, I love you and I want to marry you (sorry Hannah - it's over). I've waited too long for somebody like you. You free on Saturday? Excellent! I'll meet you at the Shoreditch Registry office, say, 3pm? Let's keep it small though - just immediate family and close friends eh? Wonderful! I'm sooo excited about it all. I've got butterflies in my tummy. We'd better start practising though Pete... ..."I do"... Right then, I'm off to choose the hymns. I'll post some photos from the special day on the Sinister website on Sunday. love, S.x P.S. Peter, do you think Robert Donlan should be our bridesmaid? It would be a beautiful choice. _________________________________________________________________________ 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: there's got to be a better song to sing
by andy warhol 21 May '01

21 May '01

hello, i'm a long time reader, first time writer, i was given a voice quite a while ago, however i have never felt inclined to use it, until now that is, i'm andy, however sadly my surname is not warhol, if it were my art coursewrok would be a lot easier, coursework? yes, i am yet another student to join sinister, the worst thing is though, i can't even brag about the size of my overdraft, as i am still getting teenage kicks in the 6th form, i don't have much to say, (as you can see), but i thought i would put finger to keyboard in celebration of finally finishing my art 'a s' course (even though it is 2 weeks late), plus the great news (for me anyway) of revieving my tickets for the forth coming belle and sebastian concerts, i have been reading about people touring the country, trying to go to every gig, or having big picnics down in london, on the eve of the albert hall jamboree, both of which i was originally planning to do, however due to fate (ie i don't know who exactly to blame), but also money, or the lack of it, i have only manage to get tickets for the alexandra theatre (birmingham) as a result i have been feeling a bit depressed, and very envious of everyone, but then i suddenly realised that it doesn't matter where i go, (even if it a shit hole like birmingham -no affence to the lovely people of brum) as it is not the city i am going to see, it is the divine belle and sebastian, who will no doubt ROCK!, regardless of the venue, anyway, thats enough for now, cheerio andy ps thankyou to all that got this far, first letters are always mindless waffle, ______________________________________________________________ For up-to-the-minute music news, reviews and specials visit http://www.nme.com Get free e-mail (anyname(a)nme.com) now at http://www.nmemail.com The sender of this e-mail is NOT an employee or associate of NME, nme.com or any other IPC magazine. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Frogs on Stilts
by Ken Chu 21 May '01

21 May '01

Hello, I am bored and has nothing better to do with my life so I thought I'd post something annoying. *carla* said: >>pretty in pink ... we'd always get sooo pissed off that molly winds up with stupid rich boy in the end. we all loved duckie, you see.<< Forget about duckie! What I always get sooo pissed off about is why she doesn't go out with ME! Grr. I have a thing about girls white limos, and white lino, too, one of the most ground breaking moments in cinematics has got to be when we got to see Molly's undies in the breakfast club. Talk about well dressed girls, I watched some ladies tennis on Eurosports today and I supported a cute Yugoslavian player, and she won, so I was quite happy. I might write her a letter and get myself arrested. I had a dream a few days ago, I was in a documentary for Stuart Pearce, the football player... it was about a defining moment when, England were playing Brazil, Stuart, being a show off, left the defensive station where he is (arguably) the best at and went up front to assist an attack, and almost helped score a goal. However, the keeper saved it, and kicked an accurate long pass to the Brazilian strikers who demolished the feeble defence (with Pearce still missing being up front) and scored a goal just before the ref blew the whistle for half time and Brazil as a result then led by 1-0. This dream was totally bizarre, and what's more bizarre was that the said football match was for some reason held at *Camber Sands*, on the beach. So I guess it has a bit of relevance to sinister. All I remembered from the dream was that it was a really emotional documentary and I almost cried at the film in the dream, in which I was the camera man. For some reason though, I became the substitute goal keeper on the second half, but I wasn't substituted in, and the original keeper was shite and I had to watch England lose 13-0 at the end. Not your average mediocre dream, cos it's an utterly pish one. I hope I have annoyed you.
