Sinister: Carters World
by Hannah Brown 17 May '01

17 May '01

If that previous messege was you shying away from real discussion then god help us all. This idea of mediocrity =popularity is interesting. i kind of agree. i remember at college it was alway the dull fuckers who were the most popular, but then its usually the freaks and geeks that go down in history. im a bit dubious about how you draw up your mediocrity table though. how do you do it? the idea that taste is limited to food only is daft.Kings of Conv', to be honest, is incredebly (sp?) "mediocra", its easy to listen to and isnt really ground breaking, but the fact is that it is fab to listen to and warms you up inside. suggesting that 1984 "follows the surface rules" is laughable(even though i havent read it yet, shhhh). i find it hard to argue with messeges cause i take things the wrong way, i need tone of voice to help me through so if if ive contradicted myself or anything just ignore it. im djing tonight and im scared. love hannah +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

by angel blackwell 17 May '01

17 May '01

first off, hello and apologies to evie...i did try and meet you but there were just too many fags about. i'm glad that you got to meet the kado boy, he's far cuter than i. i looked up that new single cover thingy...it has scared me. but it's nice to see that gillian from new order is keeping her self active. we have been addicted to a new website at work of an up and coming scratch artist. go to www.supergreg.com. those afraid of uni-brows beware. i was also fluttering around the burt is evil page and it has scared me. burt and ernie are clean and chaste little puppets that just happen to sleep in the same room, much like noddy and big ears. seeing burt sooperimposed on a picture of hitler, is well, disturbing. a friend of mine is coming to visit from england...and i'm not excited. i feel bad cuz we parted on bad terms and i thought that maybe 5 months would heal all...it hasn't. i feel bad. maybe i'll just avoid him. (yeah, that's healthy) hmmm...rem are playing a free concert at lunchtime today...i'm trying to figure out how to skip off work for a coupla hours to go see them. it's basically around the corner from where i live, but i don't work in the city and therein lies the problem...my plan is to get the delivery guy to deliver me downtown for a coupla hours and then to deliver me back to work...i'm such a cheap bastard though, i should just take the afternoon off. i've started writing again which has made me happy but i have great difficulty holding a pen for hours on end...so bf is trying to be helpful and bought me some aspirin, complete with child proof lid. wish his brain was in the same place his heart is...heehee. found out that if you bang the lid enuf times on yer desk at work the lid will pop off. i'm in a bit of a tiff with the lazy twat bastard that i work with so all noise is good noise, especially my country music as he describes it. i hate to use nick drake as a weapon of torture but it was needed. i'm moving on to will oldham and diamanda galas soon. i hope you all enjoy the upcoming concerts and picernics and such. some of us will be living vicariously through you... right, lazy twat walmart jewelery wearing smelly twat bastard has left and it's time for some calming lucksmiths. love you all sweeties... a.

Sinister: Shoes
by Robin Stout 17 May '01

17 May '01

Hello, my name's Robin Stout Sarah: "Robin, are you a weatherman yet?". No, not yet, I'm going to TV Centre on Wednesday for a Popstars-style audition. I'll tell you what happens then. It will probably be a tale of humiliation and woe, tragedy and romance, rain and sunny spells, warming up later. I've gone rather overboard and bought four tickets for the Royal Albert Hall. The woman on the phone said they were "at the back". I hope this doesn't mean behind Big Stu. There should be an option on the website for "Not behind Big Stu", so if you end up watching the concert around Stu's ears you get a reduction. Or they could give you big shoes, like in a bowling alley, Big Stu Shoes, so you can see over his head. A friend of mine bet 2 pounds on Liverpool winning the treble and won 104 pounds. I bet 50p on France winning Eurovision and won nothing. Where's the justice in the world? Like Jesus, I think the best way to understand life's problems is to tell stories. Here's a little parable, based on a real life event, called Robin and the Egg. Maybe it can help cast light into our dark and meaningless lives. Or maybe it's just rubbish. Robin and the Egg Yesterday I bought an egg. Just the one, for a meal I was cooking. I bought it from the shop on the corner, where the people are all miserable, and it cost me 25p. I carried it home, cradling it in my hands. I skillfully dodged the six delinquent kids from two houses down who were riding their bikes on the pavement. I deftly tiptoed past a man in a puffa jacket who was strutting down the street with his elbows out. When I was back, I slid through the door, and gently placed the egg on the kitchen table. Then I went to get a bowl, and I turned, and the egg rolled slowly from the counter and fell on the floor. I tried to catch it, but I was never any good at cricket. All I had left was bits of eggshell, and a mess on the floor. A moral lesson for us all, I think, um, put eggs in eggcups, or something. Robin. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: more delaware picnic info, among other things
by eric the half a bee 17 May '01

17 May '01

hello sinister. anyone else on vacation from school? I slept from 1am to 2:30 pm today, and I only woke up then because my brother had come home from school. god, I love being a bum. oh yeah, and idleberry said this: "ood luck to everyone else doing some sort of exams now. My thoughts would be with you if I wasn't feeling particularly selfish and trying to keep them aligned to myself at the moment." because I'm all done with school for another semester, I'll say good luck for everyone. time to gloat: I got straight A-s. I think london was good for me. is that the first time someone's ever said that? someone mentioned weezer a while back (sorry, can't remember who, and can't be arsed to look through the digest) but their new album is ACE. not as good as pinkerton, but cuomo is still obsessed with girls, which is a Good Thing. someone's got to be, after all. yeah, so picnic details: well, I got some (5) responses, and am hanging on for more, so (tentatively) the picnic will take place at rockford park, wilmington, delaware on (looks at calendar)... june 2. I'll send more detailed information in a week or so. it won't be able to compete with the gigantic love-fest that was the london picnic (two words: public orgy.) but we'll try mightily. being facetious since 1980. -eric xx ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Stone the crows, it's the dawn!
by Ruvi Simmons 17 May '01

17 May '01

So much time has gone by since I last wrote anything to all of you 1400 souls scattered around the world like daisies on a hillside (flattery seems like a good way to begin things), that I do so now labouring under a chronic case of trepidation. Perhaps everything I will write from this point on will be gibberish. In a way, that would be something of a relief. But it isn't to be. Being non-sensical has always struck me as an affectation. I often wonder about the bums I've seen on the streets who talk to invisible friends and enemies. Do they really see somebody there? I have a suspicion that they don't. Perhaps they are all unconsciously conforming to the accepted stereotype of what a loony should be like. I suspect that real loonies don't stand on street corners raving to invisible thieves and demanding the return of their shoes, but sit placidly, in nice, conservative clothes, in nice, conservative homes, brooding. That said, I did once sit next to man on the tube (between Hendon Central and Brent Cross, in case, by some wild chance, somebody was interested in that detail) who was about seven feet tall - I only exagerrate slightly, so I hope I'll be forgiven -, muttering dark words about rape and murder. He was gaunt and would fix me with a bulging eyed stare before snarling to nobody in particular that he wanted blood. He had a crumpled shopping bag, and he kept removing videos, one after the other, all gruesome horror films. I got off at the next stop terrified, and hid behind the staircase until the train had pulled out. That anecdote dispensed with, I would like to pose a question: am I the only person in the world who doesn't like The Kings of Convenience? Their songs all remind me of the Trumpton theme, but without any of the pleasant associations. Today I alphabetised my CD collection. Does that bring me closer to godliness, or mean that I should do more hard drugs? Probably neither. Godliness and drugs are a bore, and closer in relation that one might at first suspect. Thankfully, there are other options. It need hardly be mentioned that I am excited about the prospect of seeing Belle and Sebastian at the Royal Albert Hall, although I am slightly sad that finances do not afford me the pleasure of harassing old women in provincial ticket offices. I wonder if she'll go and see them too? Or whether the couple from the Oxo adverts will be there, rekindling old romantic memories? they probably have a lot of free time since they stopped selling gravy. This is all becoming very low brow, isn't it? Next I'll be writing about Hello magazine before, perhaps, going out and clubbing a woman over the head in order to drag her back into my cave and showing her the hot red things I've managed to make come out of pieces of wood. Then it will just be dribbling and mushy peas for me. I'm sorry, this is awful. It can't all end this way, can it? With Oxo and Trumpton and Hello magazine? No, let there be a glimpse of salvation at the end of this length word-tunnel. Let forgiveness come to woeful metaphors. Let the sun shine on the heads of the loving, and let the loveless remember the sunshine even in times of rain. Let there be light. Let there be life. Let there be sweet dreams. Let me not mention the Eurythmics. Goodnight. Ruvi. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: chilling so hard my ass almost froze off
by Rachel Playforth 17 May '01

65 LOVE SONGS don't know how many hip hop fans there are here, but that subject line is buck 65, a great canadian export if ever there was one. and rude boys can be twee too, you know - he likes rice cakes. TICKETS PLEASE woke up this morning to the unmistakable sound of 4 tickets for the albert hall dropping through my letterbox. the standing-up-and-dancing-around-like-a-big-jessie ones. HOW HAPPY AM I???? er, quite happy. it's only 10 days after my birthday (23 wasted years...), so if anyone wants to bake me a cake and bring it to the pre-gig picnic, feel free :) LIVE AND LOUCHE launching my summer gig season last night was jim white at the concorde 2 (there is no concorde 1, but no-one else seems to find this odd...), who was Amazing. dark and moving and philosophical and confessional, but a very funny guy. very sweet guy too, missing his family back in florida, y'all. ANT MUSIC does anyone know much about ant, aka anthony harding? someone just gave me his ep 'cures for broken hearts' and i think it's lovely. SLIGHT HITCH on the news they announced that r s narayan had died, but not douglas adams. shame i think. there was a frood who really knew where his towel was. i'm making a mix tape. i'll be back for breakfast. 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.

Sinister: On my arms there's freckles and scars
by ArtsyDeco＠aol.com 17 May '01

17 May '01

Do you know what they are? Do you know where they came from? I've been wondering because no one will tell me... Oh, so much to catch up on... John Hughes: If Silent Bob likes him, I suppose I could give those rite du passage flicks a shot. Zang. Norwegian: Norwegian = Cool I love languages and chase after new ones whenever I can. I went after russian just now, but oh is it ever hard. My friend Lina taught me how to say "kiss my ass" in Russian, but all I can remember is the word for ass. Phooey. I'm making a program in computer lab to teach all those who care in my school (i.e. me, only me) how to say some basic welsh phrases. All this talk of thai and norwegian has got me all excited. Flowering Cherries: I noticed today that mine has nearly flowered its last for the season. It was never windy enough to stand beneath in and have it rain on me. Phooey, part deux. Those of you who get to see B&S: I hate you. I hate you like the mormons hate the polygamists who still give them a bad name. (This is ofcourse not true. I love you all. Equally. Like children!) Un-B&S dreams that still merit a story time: I was pregnant and moving into an appartment. For some reason I got shot at my housewarming party. My friends rushed me to the hospital and I got operated on and delivered the baby in a huge room where everything was white and there were loads of people in white milling about. There were simply enormous windows going up higher than you could see, so everthing was light. It didn't bother me at the time, but the more I think about it, the more it give me the willies. Here's a backwoods New England version (as I have heard it said) of "Nee, nee...) "Wahl, there doe'nt seem to much goin on harrr, ah suppose we could be heading back now." It's boring I know, but I think that's the point. Love, jam, jelly, and marmalade, Kara Jean* +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
