Sinister: In depth EP review/Dudley/Me
by Chris Leonard 29 May '01

29 May '01

Alright muckers, The new ep is total class. "Jonathan David" is Stevie's best song ever, and it has a great Zombies-eque bit in the middle. He does some proper high singing. I'll give it an 81 . Talking of which, there's a petition to get the Zombies recognised. I don't know how it's going to work but it's very important. Even Rod Argent's signed it! http://www.PetitionOnline.com/zmbievh1/ "Take Your Carriage Clock and Shove it right up your sith lord arsehole" is classic Murdoch, lovely stuff. The line is apparently "whined till you get what you want", not "wanked till you get what you want". Needless to say, I'm disappointed and for that it gets 5 penalty points, leaving it with a grand score of 45653. "Loneliness of a middle distant runner" you already know, but it's been tamed somewhat from the rocking version. It's country-tastic! I'll give it infinity. Enough content. As mentioned by cameron diaz lookalikey lulou, Dudley is bringing himself and his talented corporation fellows over to Glasgow. Go and listen to Dudley's songs at www.thumped.com/dudley and get all gushy like me. And then if you live nearby go and see him playing a pop concert in the 13th note on Saturday. I'm playing as well. So are the Nova Express. It'll be fun, come along. Yours, Christopher ==================== www.sleekasounds.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: I survived....
by Jordi Trenzano 29 May '01

29 May '01

.....after suffering the angry attack of lots of people at a spanish mailing list, telling me that B&S are a bunch of god-complex assholes. And I survived. I was looking for some reasons to explain that theyŽre a bunch of hooligans really, but I only remembered the footie tournaments since the Bowlie Weekender and somt other things. I was hoping to get some help from Mr.Miller, but he seems to be gone, visiting BarcelonaŽs zoo to learn a bit about the real nature of frogs. IŽm still waiting for an answer from Larry, I asked him to join segudnosdeluz and he hasnŽt answered me yet. He wouldnŽt like the weather here, weŽre having to hottest may since 1906. And why doesnŽt he try to become a sinbger ? him and Splat! would make a terrific duet indeed. Holly, what subject does your teacher teach ? (errr, I hope itŽs the right english construction). IŽd like to have some teahcer listening to the V.U. instead of rich and fat spanisg protest singers. ooh, Jenowl, your spanish badge means "we have the last word", I think, if the already mentioned Mr.Miller doesnŽt correct me the meaning in english of "tenemos la última palabra". If I have to pick between the Ladytron and the Avalanches album, which one would you pick ?

Sinister: Leigh (only one hour North of Auckland) ... are you ready to rock?
by Lawrence Mikkelsen 29 May '01

29 May '01

hey kids another long lapse in postings .... sorry. firstly, I have decided to put less ranty personal information in my posts. you see, I know *know* people on the list. as in, have actually met two listees now. which is reasonably exciting, given how long Auckland was an absolute wasteland for B&S fans .... which brings me to .... (roll fanfare) an account of the first ever ***SINISTER AUCKLAND CHAPTER MEET-UP*** (which, of course, happened *outside* of Auckland) OK, so there were only three listees there (that I know of) but nonetheless it was an excellent occasion. The occasion in question was a gig by two bands, The Brunettes and Plasticine, at a place called Leigh, which is North of Auckland. The venue is an old sawmill, and is aptly called "The Leigh Sawmill Cafe". Great place ... good wood-fired pizzas, highly recommended if any of you are ever in the area. anyway, the bands. there were actually three, but the middle one was pants so I won't bother talking about them. **Plasticine** Plasticine are great. they formed from the ashes of my favourite Auckland band, Polaar, and are a two piece, consisting of keyboards and guitar. Scott, one of the formentioned listees, is the auteur behind them, and they are really really good. I could go on about them, but he may read this, and I would be a little embarassed. Because I'm not very good are describing how things sound, other than in terms of "good" or "bad", and I might offend him with a comparison. But they were fantastic. (But you can go to http://www.mp3.com/plasticine (I think) for an MP3.) **The Brunettes** An absolute revelation. Not just one of the best New Zealand indie bands I have heard in a while. Not just one of the best New Zealand indie bands I have heard. Not just one of the best indie bands I have heard. But one of the best bands I have ever heard. No really, they are amazing. Think Jonathan Richman meets the Shangri-Las. Or something. Just fantastic, bubblegum pop'n'roll. I swear, you'd all love them. Every single one of you. So, anyway, it was agreat night, up in the middle of nowhere, listening to great indie on a dark, stormy night, and then driving back through the native bush to get home to a nice, warm b&b only slightly closer to the edge of nowhere. ***DISCLAIMER*** OK, three people meeting and seeing some bands isn't the most exciting thing in the world. but it *was* good, and it makes me happy that I'm not the only listee in Auckland any longer. right, on to the nex thing ..... ***TOWN PLANNING*** err .... what? ARE THERE ANY LONDON PLANNERS / PLANNING STUDENTS ON THE LIST? A good friend of mine is planning to come to the UK in a few months. He has a Bachelors and Masters degree in Planning from The University Of Auckland, and is interested in hearing about job prospects etc. If there are any listee who might know anything about this, and wouldn't mind having their e-mails passed on, then please let me know. he's really appreciate hearing from you. Right, to bed ......

Sinister: competition results
by Rachel Playforth 29 May '01

29 May '01

mmm... weekend dominated by ribena ice lollies. also by getting my hair cut outrageously short, thus ruining my supposedly pre-raphaelite image but trading it in for a much cooler jean seberg/audrey hepburn one. thanks for all your entries to the dk competition - i learned some interesting things :) here are my 5, which in fact no-one gave all of, probably because one of them isn't actually a word, on reflection: bodkin bedknob (hmm) weedkiller vodka handkerchief weedkiller was the supposed 'only' one, by the way. most people got bodkin and (quel suprise) vodka. roadkill and groundkeeper were also put forward a few times, but i think are american usage only so don't count. i've decided to arbitrarily give the mixtape to arik, who was the first to reply, although i still don't know what a 'godkin' is. i just hope he likes inexpert blends of hip hop, alt country, motown and indie pop... now, who can tell me the only word to contain all the vowels in alphabetical order? 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: my life is a glunk
by Spiticuss＠aol.com 28 May '01

28 May '01

on my trip to the book shop (to get an SAT II reveiw book, which is currently driving me crazy) i had a little sit down with a few dr seuss books. i found a quote that struck me as something and i dont know what The Glunk just smiled and said "Dear child, You can't un-thunk a glunk Ask any one they'll tell you that a glunk can't be UN-thunk" Its really quite sad. The poor girl sits there thinking of soft fuzzy things, and one day she wants something exciting, so she makes this monster that can never be sent home. sigh. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: beachcombing for golden nuggets of news...
by Nik Ovenden 28 May '01

28 May '01

Dearest Sinisterettes, Greetings from the shores of Niko. It's been an inordinate amount of time since I posted - I dodged around the flotsam of ATP (It was good; trust the reports. I also got to play cricket), then waded through the deep lagoon of pre-single/pre-tour anxiousness. But now I can dispense with the analogies and see who is left on my picnic blanket to talk to, about gigs and stuff. GIG Is ANYONE going to the Cardiff gig? I mean, it'd be cool for it to be just my 10 friends (that's all I have...sob). but I'd like my "Sinister people I've met" tally to pass 3 (that includes my crush, sadly). An email and possible pre/post/mid gig drinky could be arranged...free beer for you...? B&S BADGES have been 'discontinued', says Ms House. Should any people have spares/extras/generous hearts, I will pay OBSCENE amounts of spondoolicks for 2 (like �10 for both?). I thou art feeling generous enough to sell them to me, please email! UTILITARIANISM I was reading 'Teach Yourself Ethics' when that debate started. Freaky. MUSIC 'South' have been billed to play in Bristol twice now without ACTUALLY turning up. I am going to shout at Mo Wax. 'Mull Historical Society' are not good, I was just listening to them and they sound like fucked-up circus music. Scary 'It' Clowns as well ("Don't you want a balloon?"...shudder...) SEE SPOT RUN is the worst movie I have ever seen. Someone needed to accompany my little brother, and I 'short-strawed'. Afterwards, I went to find paint dry to realign my brain. PROMISES What with the election at all, many Sinister people may have noticed my common resemblance to a politician - unfulfilled promises. Rest assured, after June 27th, thou wilst be truly satisfied - indeed, some of you will get more than you may deserve. Does that sound sinister enough? (cue Jaws music...) LIST RULES Does the 15-minute rule apply to devising? I mean, i spend 4 months planning my emails... DOUGLAS ADAMS Proves the rule that too much exercise can kill you. Now for me to take heed and sleep...'The Hitch-Hikers Guide' is still fabulous. I checked last week as I tidied my room (a 5-day campaign...) CHARTS Yes, New Mr Chu, I really really liked it, it was (it was) wicked. That's my stomach song. There's a stupid story behind that. To be honest, I think that song deserved #1 over Radiohead. Their [Radiohead's] new album is literally "Kid B". How dull. What amazes me is how I can skim these 9 pebbles of knowledge across the Sini-sea without causing a single ripple. How sad... Ciao Tuttis, Love Niko xxx PS content - Ooh! Ooh! Singles and Gigs! Ooh! (I'm actually pleased about the former for 'Middle Distance Runner', and the second as it's a day after mon jou de vivre). And I really do read every message of yours. How many of you have seen this, I wonder... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Sinister: I'd Love To Live
by P F 28 May '01

28 May '01

Golly, sinister is quiet these days. Inside Daisy Clover is not that bad. I like it, in fact. My copy is pink. Her first lover is a lad called Milton. Then she gets picked up by a studio. Books like this seem to bespeak a history - a moment - in a way that I find engaging. Has no-one else read it? England is kissed by the spring sun. England? Well, some of it. The cranes and factories along the river seem unchanged in twenty years. Then again, vast satellite dishes and new white apartment blocks now glisten across the water. The Millennium Dome is still there, in case anyone - me, for instance - was wondering. Is it still the Millennium Dome? Or has it only become the Millennium Dome this year? It seems sad, about the Dome - a sadness in our social life, to go down in history. How I wish that things had worked out better. I have lost my sense of what 'formalism' is. Has anyone seen it anywhere? It is two years since a pop group started up, on a night as gorgeously gilded as this one. Flann O'Brien wrote a good sketch about a pub called Thirst. That was a long time ago. When the world used less electricity. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Sinister: My apologies...
by Holly Trochet 28 May '01

When I mentioned my teacher's age, I didn't mean to make it sound like she was really old...actually, compared to most of the teachers at my school, she's a kindergartener. I just didn't want you to assume she was middle aged. Mrs. Rumfelt probably wouldn't want you to assume she was middle aged, either. She didn't think it was all that funny on parent-teacher night when my friend's father asked her, "Are you old lady Rumfelt?" Fortunately for my friend, he wouldn't admit to being her father. -Holly -- _______________________________________________ Get your free email from http://www.mail.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
