Sinister: if margaret thatcher is the devil, noah webster was surely her handmaiden
by m.e. curtin 15 May '01

15 May '01

well hello, i must say i'm a little miffed to note that no one has mentioned a certain perry como's death. shame on you indie kids! you should all be sewing black arm bands on your cardigans......it's the least you could do. you owe such fashion to this crooner of happy memory. well, him and arnold palmer anyway. do any of you remember that creepy show mastermind? i have only vague memories of it as i was a diminuitive young thing when i first took to watching bbc filler on pbs (yay buffalo (and now toronto) pbs - you've got nothing on erie county!). anyway, i do remember a bunch of tweed-clad crackpot contestants sweating over ridiculously obscure questions in black leather chairs. now that was a real quiz show. anyway, i was at this silly booksale the other day and i found teh official mastermind (two) quizbook for a quarter. naturally i bought it. out of some 800+ questions i knew about 6 answers legitimately. and i only knew about the playboy of the western world/aran island connection cuz i read about it the night before in a linguistics book. i guess i really only knew 5 and a half answers. where was i going with this story? typing this has just made me start wondering how many mastermind contestants were elvis fans. theyy definitely took care of business. yes, they're the boss(es). i wouldn't be at all surprised if more than 60% of all successful contestants were elvis fans. he's the mark of genius. i love elvis. but i'm not a genius. (sigh). i'm not even mildly competent. that's okay. i'm in a union. go cupe local 32! you can drive a city truck into the river without being terminated, but don't you dare not wear your VIBRANT orange shirt to work. that would spell d-i-s-a-s-t-e-r surely. i think next time i post (i'm guessing september 17) i might try to use proper sentence structure, and i may even use the correct puncuation. i know it's crazy, but i like living on the edge. nite nite kidlets marybeth +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: le Arsicles de la bourgeoisie
by Kenneth P Y Chu 14 May '01

14 May '01

Hello, I've just had a thought the other day, that having arsicular cancer would be a pain in the arse... I dunno why I thought that. I didn't have a pain in the arse, but I did have a bit of pain in the tummy yesterday, after two day's worth of solid post-dissertation-handing-in drinking. Hmmmmm vodka. I was tempted to write to Ilovelarrythefrog(a)yahoo.com, but I suspected that I may have to speak French if I wrote to Larry, who is French, and since my vocabulaire des francais (thank you babelfish) consists of: "Ja'ime la vodka" "grmlgrmlgrmlgrmlgrmlgrmlgrml" "ah ah ah" and "yeeeeeeeerk" I don't think Monsieur Larry will appreciate it too much. Sam Walton said: >>Anyway, Clarke, Sarah J (EU) wrote a fine post I thought. More incediary anti-twee ramblings along those and Ken's lines would be good I think, but then again perhaps that would be better suited on a Clash list, or on a list where everybody is a maths teacher who thinks it's cool to own three post-1998 albums ;o) Sorry. Anwyay...<< I just saw my name mentioned, yay!.. but I think instead of the clash list we should do all that on a list where we all snog each other. Hmm wait a second.. :) "The day that Thatcher died" is a lie!! Does that mean Mrs Thatcher will be alive with us forever!? Arrrrrrrrgh!

Sinister: summer wasting!
by Hugo Shannon 14 May '01

14 May '01

the advent of summer here (well it looked like it 'till today) caused me to hand in my notice of my crappy tax old collecting job. i lasted 5 months - impressive staying power - but writing threatening letters while looking out over sunny lawns didn't seem a possibility for any longer at all. (has anyone noticed that there is a faint smell of b.o. everywhere? and its definitely not me) as a free agent i'm going to do some voluntary work (unless i get a good job) and a fair amount of lounging. i reckon i can afford 6 weeks of this before i'm forced back to the real world. 18 months of scrimping for 6 weeks leisure? its a tough world where money really is too important. anyway, i'll be free for the whole b +s tour, which is already creating probs. my chum i was going with has booked a holiday in france during the tour - my sleeping space in london has been taken over, and i'm not going to believe its all true until my tickets arrive (standing!). is anyone planning a cliff richard style summer holiday in a bus around all the venues? it really should be done - maybe with a convoy of vehicles... on the bright side my local shops foolish overstocking of easter eggs means i STILL have a half price supply of chocolate lovelies. sorry about the footie list - i'm up in nottingham and can't travel regularly. i heartily agree with sam's post - top elvis cd with the sunday times. (but wasn't can u dig it by pop will eat itself?) a pre albert hall picnic seems a must - i'll be there . _________________________________________________________________________ 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: a bit of a weird post I'm afraid. Sorry.
by Sam Walton 14 May '01

14 May '01

Hello sinipeople, Hmmm, two posts in three days - I must be bored. Oh yeah, I'm 'unemployed'. I really should get a job, instead of just getting these letters back telling me to piss off. Anyway, Clarke, Sarah J (EU) wrote a fine post I thought. More incediary anti-twee ramblings along those and Ken's lines would be good I think, but then again perhaps that would be better suited on a Clash list, or on a list where everybody is a maths teacher who thinks it's cool to own three post-1998 albums ;o) Sorry. Anwyay... BigStu said: >And while we're talking about the beautiful game, an Arsenal fan was >whinging earlier about losing the Cup Final to Liverpool. To which I say, >it serves you right for what you did to the might Sheffield Wednesday 8 >years >ago, you bastards Thanks for that Stu. If the Owls were a better team, they wouldn't be in, what is it now? Div2? Anyway... I bought the new Alpha EP today (called South), primarily because it has a quality track with the mighty Jarve C on vocals. The rest of it is alright - worth £2.99 of anybody's money. Also, I don't know if anyone else got it, but in the Sunday Times yesterday was a free four-track Elvis cd, and I have to say this: the last track is just fantastic. It's called "I Just Can't Help Believin'", and it's perfect. A bit of it sounds really like B&S too, I think - all handclaps and brass. But most people will prolly disagree. Oh well... This weekend was fun. I met up with another listee, who some or fewer of you may have seen me having fun with at TigerMilking, and we went to CasinoRoyale at the Barfly. The ex-guitarist from Menswe@r was dj-ing in between denying his former career, and we danced maniacally to "Can You Dig It" by The Mock Turtles. Then Sunday I booked my tickets to the Albert Hall gig. Bonza. Oh yeah, people were talking about a picnic on the Friday before the Albert Hall gig. I think this is a fab idea, primarily because I suggested it on Saturday in my last post. But seriously, I don't mind being picnic mummy if someone has to be thrust into the limelight. I suppose I should contribute a bit more to this list apart from ***obviously*** my sparkling posts. So yeah, mail me if you're interested, and I'll try and sort something out. Um, I can't really think of anything else to write, and I'm missing Neighbours (it's Madge's funeral)* so I'll go... love to all, but more to some than others...** S.x *apologies to US listees who are about 5 years behind on Neighbours if I've ruined it. **purely because I know some of you better than I know others. _________________________________________________________________________ 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: lionel ritchie and the wardrobe
by Tom Phillips 14 May '01

14 May '01

hullo spacechildren, i am now allowed to speak to you, and, in keeping with tradition, thought i'd make my celebratory first post an utterly inconsequential, overlong, rambling mess. hi. i was kept awake last night by what i can only describe as prime minister's question time happening outside my window, only with ducks. see? i am tired. (it is not yet clear if i am true of heart.) i'm looking forward to june so much that it's already beginning to make me smile (and conveniently forget about the intervening exams). it promises to be a blissful, responsibility-free parade of amazing bands marching past me, lying in a private field of alcoholic lethargy. or on a beach. in, say, scarborough. (i agree with my good friend charlie on this point, although i'd remind him that we've got an appointment with bryan ferry only two days before, so our beach time is limited) yeah, in fact, any other sinisterines going to see r.music? just asking. things that have been making me smile today: the track titles on the apples in stereo album 'her wallpaper reverie'; the outrageous similarity between bowie's 'boys keep swinging' and blur's 'm.o.r.' (and noel gallagher gets criticised for nicking tunes...); the phrase 'fruity bun'. things that have almost brought me to tears: douglas adams becoming dead, and richard dawkins' amazing article about him in the guardian. so sad. and for someone who invented so many hilarious ways to die to be taken by something as mundane as a heart attack in a gym. anyway, i've rambled on long enough now (i am nothing if not honest), bye, some kid called tom +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Wrong Suffix!
by Clarke, Sarah J (EU) 14 May '01

14 May '01

Sinister. Enough is ENOUGH with the Hefner adoration! Now come on people, come on children, come on down to the glory river.. of some decent fucking taste! Where you have been going wrong with Feeder is probably listening to their latest stuff - get the first album, Polythene, currently going in Virgin Megastores for 4.99 and YOU TOO can relive embarassing parties in Blackburn when you were 16! Or maybe 17, who knows! GEVALT. It's better than pretending that Maggie Thatcher died for she is still ALIVE (even though you may not believe it under her death mask face) and probably still influential within the machinery of the Tory party, you STUPID BASTARDS! And if that's not fucking mediocre than I don't know what is! Uh, that would be Hefner! Ho ho ho. But you know, I can live with other people liking Hefner, in fact I have TWICE danced to that stupid song, but EACH TIME registered my protest with various other dancefloor representatives. But quite frankly, one could do a lot better. I heard there's a band called Camera Obscura, maybe you should "check them out". Oh sorry, I couldn't give a shit about them either! To be honest, the fact that Stuart Smirnoff 'did the sound' aint overly exciting, uh huh? Speaking of not giving shits - how come no-one is excited about the Preston B&S shows? I'm certainly going! And what a lovely venue! Maybe a little more suited towards panto, but I've heard rumours about Isobel dressing up as the back end of the pantomime horse.... (oh no hang on thats just her FACE ahahahahahhahahahaha yeah okay "sorry")... It is also the ideal place for PICNICS, Preston having the BEST PARK IN THE WORLD, Avenham Park. And Winkley Square also! The second best park in Britain is *RUSKIN PARK* in Brixton, Londons Trendy South West. It's got squirrels gambling, no, gamboling, and indeed frolicking also! Maybe when B&S play London, people should have a picnic there. Mark - there's football pitches! And for all your greasy fried chicken needs, just round the corner is South Londons finest purveyor of said goods! And ice cream vans! Maybe the person who wanted Pavement recommendations should get WOWEE ZOWEE? Robin, are you a weatherman yet? I just saw an ad for Organic Tampons in Ms London magazine. "Reassuringly natural". I like the way that that phrase makes me shudder. Some kind of advertising ways have surely got to me... YUGH. Love, Sarah xx PS - the Hefner song, if you do not know it, could probably be The Day Thatcher Died and it is ALL LIES and I do not stand for it! GRUMP. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: sinister peeches on sinister beeches
by Choo-Choo Charlie 14 May '01

14 May '01

I love Scarborough. But i do not love the futurist theatre world of tickets cos they don't exist yet. The poor woman in the box office - she sounded quite old and i've rung three times and by the tone of her voice i think many other thousands have too. So i do so wonder what's going on. If anyone happens to find tickets for scarborough somehow, then do tell us all cos the tickets office woman may start crying soon. On a plus note tho, the fact that i'll (all being well) be seeing my favourite band, my loves, my dreams, my existence, in a month and a half is actually the most amazing thing ever and i like think that it might make me go crazy. A beach picnic will be the best. Me and my bandits of Mo, Fraser, Tom and Laura will be hanging rnd on Scarborough's beach for days beforehand i suspect so come find us there.

Sinister: So long, and thanks for all the fish
by Gardiner, Stuart 14 May '01

14 May '01

Douglas Adams, RIP. Well, finally, B&S are playing the Royal Albert Hall. As demanded on Sinister back in January 1998. You see, we're always ahead of the game on here. Latest news: if you want standing tickets for the Albert Hall, so that you can actually see something, you've got to phone them up direct - the website only has stalls and circle tickets available (as of 30 minutes ago). Birmingham tickets are also available online, but tickets for Scarborough still aren't available, and I can't get hold of Preston. This must be the most exciting thing to happen in Scarborough since the Cannon and Ball reunion tour of 1998. I notice that there aren't any gigs scheduled for the days before or after the Albert Hall show. What chance a second date being announced in the next few days? In the meantime, a picnic is needed on June 29th, at 4pm, in Kensington Gardens (just over the road from the Albert Hall). And another picnic on the beach in Scarborough. Oh yeah, and if anyone fancies offering me a floor in London for the night, I would be very grateful (and in return I might be able to offer a bedspace at my parents' house in Harrogate, halfway between Scaborough and Preston...) The Primrose Hill picnic the other week was G!R!A!T!E!, but everyone's already said pretty much everything already. The football score was 1-1 at halftime, when I came on as a substitute. We lost 6-2. I like to think it was a coincidence. And while we're talking about the beautiful game, an Arsenal fan was whinging earlier about losing the Cup Final to Liverpool. To which I say, it serves you right for what you did to the might Sheffield Wednesday 8 years ago, you bastards. In defence of Toploader, I would just like to say that I LIKE "DANCING IN THE MOONLIGHT". Just a shame the rest of their stuff is crap, really. Denmark were robbed.
