Sinister: Take Your Carriage Clock To Paradise...
by Stuart Flanagan 11 May '01

11 May '01

On hearing "Take Your Carriage Clock.." for the first time I was quite surprised how similar it is to the 70's easy listening fave (I've Been To Paradise, But I've) Never Been To Me. I can't remember who released the original, but think it was on Motown in the mid-70s, when they had too much Lionel Ritchie and got decidedly sloshy. Has anyone told Stuart Murdoch about this, and perhaps more urgently, instructed his team of lawyers?! At least "...Middle Distance Runner" sounds absolutely divine, and good to see they're still taking risks by releasing an A-side in the minor key.

Sinister: More picnic musings.
by Phil Two 11 May '01

11 May '01

OK, so its a week after the picnic, and I am now fully recovered. It was really nice to get away from Paris and see friends and meet new people - except I don't really remember much from about after 3pm. Must apologize to all the people who came back from football to find their half-empty bottles of red wine missing. I get a bit kleptomaniac when Im drunk.... Except if it makes anyone feel better, I paid for it in the end. Like passing out at 6pm and waking up in the middle of Tigermilking. That was me curled up fetal-positioned in the chair by the entrance... OK, and also, it seems I woke up the next morning with a phone number in my pocket. Except whoever it was, I must also apologize for interrupting whatever the hell I was interrupting when I called the next day. Whoops. So, I hope to see you all again in Glasgow for the gigs - and I promise to be a bit more sober this time.

Sinister: Hangovering days are sober
by Kenneth P Y Chu 11 May '01

Hello, Procrastination really often creates rubbish acronym sentences that i nastily always type into others' notes. So Lixi joins the ranks of people who uses sinister to further their educational achievements, maybe I should too, will Mark Gazzarotto mind if I modelled my computer football player's tackling skills on him? :-) Or maybe I SHOULDN'T because as of this minute I've FINISHED my dissertation! It's a pile of bawbags, but it's finished so yippie! Okay I haven't slept for 24 hours typing up this (my dissertation not that acronym thing) so I'm going to bed now good night.

Sinister: I've packed a change of clothes and its time to move on
by dontloveanyone＠netscape.net 11 May '01

11 May '01

A big cheery its-almost-winter-here hello from brazil, All this talk of picnics makes me rather jealous. I can't remember last time I actually went to a picnic but it must've been ages ago. The talk of gigs also makes me want to swim up to Scotland, but me and a friend (hello Pedro) are trying to plan a vacation trip up to the London, maybe, to see a gig. Far from set in stone, you see, but i'm really hoping. Apparently there was a duo called David et Jonathan, i'm assuming French. They did a song calledLovers of the World Unite, apparently in 1966. They also do a song called Michelle; by the time i'm done writing this mail it should be done downloading so i'll find out if its a Beatles cover or not. The Little Black Fox fable was very very pretty. Thanks for that. Well, Michelle's done, and it is a Beatles cover. Rather odd, too, but kinda nice. I felt rather twee this afternoon when watching the young'ins at school perform Annie the musical (i worked the curtains: its fun until the ropeburn kicks in) and near the end i was nearly in tear-shedding mode. I dont think it was the actual play, just that it was really nice to see the kids all having fun and...well, being kids. Except, of course, for this kid who played the butler. He acted all tough and tried to stir up trouble backstage. I hope he doesnt grow up to be a hard kid, because i have a feeling he'd be rather good at it. Lately, i've been listening to a lot of Death Cab for Cutie, and I second whoever recommended them (i think it was Mr. Peter Carter); they are indeed very very good. My headphones broke this morning so on the bus home i had to listen to Boy With the Arab Strap, Right Channel remix. Terrible things happened*, like Stuart David speaking alone with just a drumbeat in A Spaceboy Dream. Weezer's swinging through London early July, for those of you who don't hate them. My friend's stepdad's british and, judging from his copy of an English newspaper, your crossword puzzles are very very difficult.And on that note, i'll depart... I love you all Mike K. * a brownie point to anyone who caught that one __________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape Webmail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Octopus should not be eaten semi-raw.
by Jonathan Howell 11 May '01

11 May '01

No indeed... and this goes for many other foods too. As for the octopus... yuck yuck yuck. It was all oily (having been fried) and really was half raw. All the cool kids were doing it, and I caved to peer pressure. I think that the dubious decision to add beer to the pan as it fried was quite silly really... right then. The odd thing is, I really didn't realise that I was drunk until the next morning when I woke feeling slightly delicate. THE ABERYSTWYTH PIC-A-NIC: was a roaring sucess. Everyone who went really enjoyed it. Of course none of them but me knew it was a sinister picnic. That's right, I made my friends go on a picnic. Yes, so admitedly they'd been lured their under false pretenses, to them it was just a picnic (nothing sinister about that) ... well actually it wasn't even that, just a group of us sharing chocolate digestives and watching the sun set over Constitution hill... That was the best I could do. I enjoyed it anyway. YOU'RE KISSING YOUR ELBOW: This has probably come up before at some point... but In the shower the other morning I was singing happily, and discovered that it is in fact impossible to kiss your elbow. The closest I can get is to kiss my elbow-pit. In my early morning state I briefly thought maybe I should kiss my elbow's reflection, but realised that you can only kiss your lip's reflection. It's true you know (of course, I don't think that the song is actually about kissing a mirror anyway, I was just working on a literal level for a time). Anyway, I hope thet you all try this out, and if anyone is flexible enough to manage it, then please let me know. (I'm hoping that no-one really wants to see a picture of my elbow, it would be a little silly to post it to the site now, wouldn't it... wouldn't it really). TAKE YOUR CARRIAGE CLOCK AND SHOVE IT: is in fact NOT an instrumental, at least not the version on the single. A promo copy landed in the office the other day, and I promptly scooped it up. I think I probably made some odd noise as I did so. I the ran all the way back to my halls happily. I was excited. Lovely. When I went back to the office later, comment was made about how none of them had seen me looking that excited/happy before. JONATHAN AND DAVID: Is actually called Jonathan David (no and, & or +). It's a song about crushes and unrequited love. The Jonathan/David thing is really a metaphor for the interaction between two people, there's not really a biblical aspect to it. The line the title comes from "I was jonathan to your david" is probably a biblical ref, but I'm not too up on the bible... can anyone help me out there? David slew golliath and became king right? Who was Jonathan (in relation to him)? (I should probably know, it is, after all, my name) Anyway, It's love, pure love. I'm quite happy about that to be honest... Love works well for me. Hope that you're all very well and having a great time. Love... Jonny.

Sinister: Up Pompeii
by David Moore 10 May '01

10 May '01

Hi All, Those clever Segundosdeluz people have a picture of the Jonathan David cover in the files section of their site already. Very Frankie Howerd, Mr Cooke. But who are the other two people in the photo? Katrina normally answers these questions for us, I think :) That's all really. I wasn't at last Saturday's picnic long enough to have much juicy gossip for you, & the little I have I'd better keep to myself. It *was* great to see such a good turnout though, and to be blessed with the presence of our two List Mums. Next one in Glasgow on the 16th of June, is that right Carey? Better go, as (unlike true love) time waits for no-one.

Sinister: Picnics are rubbish
by elenita99 10 May '01

10 May '01

OK I don't really hate picnics but then everyone has been saying how cool it was on Saturday so I couldn't do so without the risk of boring you. That is why I will not go forever on how great it was. Still I owe an apology to everyone I have been hugging too much or talking rubbish too: I didn't mean it I swear, I was just very drunk (Phil has to carry me home he can testify). So if I behaved badly to you I am soooorry :) Today I got some photos developed and there is a picture of my mum waving in front of Buckingham Palace: I win so far the contest of 'most turistic and silly picture of the year'. As Larry received all week end affection and love from lots of people, he decided to manage his fan club: you can email him at ilovelarrythefrog(a)yahoo.com and he will be pleased to answer. Of course he will not answer any insulting email calling him a 'plastic dinosaur' or anything similar. Talking of frogs I saw a man on the tube this morning with tissues with frogs on it. Just like normal paper tissues, but all blue with some green frogs. I was of course green like a frog of jealousy. I still can't believe I drank so much over 72 hours last week-end. My body is made of iron, probably.
