Sinister: We're all just a fixin to DIE!!!
by David Clark. 08 Jun '01

08 Jun '01

The visitors at my funeral will hear a little ditty called "funeral home" by Daniel Johnston, the lyrics of which are.... "Funeral Home, Funeral Home, I'm going to the Funeral Home, Got me a coffin, Shiny and black, Yeah, I'm going to the Funeral and I'm never coming back" ... And it is actually recorded at someone's funeral. In the end he asks people to sing along and you can here this couple in the foreground complaining at how distasteful it is, BRILLIANT. But then now that I think of it maybe "Fixing a hole" would be the guff.(for Burials only), Anyway, it's starting to get friggin cold down here at the bottom of the Globe and there ain't a single Belle and Sebastian Gig to keep us warm (and you can be sure the single will take a few extra weeks to make it to the shops here). There has been cause for celebration in these parts though as the "Rad" (very short films that are played in the ad breaks on telly here in New Zealand) is officially finished, dubbed to Beta Tape and delivered to *The Network*. It is called "Miss Western Suburbs" and it is a tale, told with plastic toys, of a girl that won a beauty pageant, and a boy who won a Mitsubishi Lancer in a TV show called "Beach Shack Bingo" ,both in 1985. And their subsequent, and rapid descent from these dizzying heights to the point were we find them, as overweight lushes eating TV dinners in front of a TV that is inviting applications for "Brand New Space Bingo". It is not on the net yet but it will be eventually at <http://radz.co.nz/> (though there is a selection of past efforts) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: lurching lurker
by Trish Brazil 07 Jun '01

07 Jun '01

hi there sallying forth from the depths of the lurkers corner today, motivated by a new album i bought today that i think sinisterines far and wide would surely love....its an irish guy - don't hold it againt him - and his name is david kitt. he's not a friend of mine, though i certainly wouldn't mind, and the album is called the big romance. he released a mini-ep on rough trade last year i think, havent actually heard that one, though some of the songs from it are on the album. having finished my finals yesterday, i allowed myself a celebratory splurge today by buying afore-mentioned album, a brand new shiny book and and packet of yummy biccies (foxes classics, since you ask) these are treats i havent allowed myself to indulge in for many moons, so as i settled back on my bed this afternoon, relishing the wonderful feeling of total freedom, i pressed play and fell in love. i'm no music reviewer so coming up with the over-verbalised wafflings of your average nme hack just isnt my style, they're just incredibly simple, beautifully crafted songs. he doesnt have the strongest voice in the world, but that just doesnt matter, the songs are just amazing. buy buy buy, you wont regret it. (although if you do, please dont be cross - no liability accepted) so, sinister kids, some advice needed - what exactly is it that you do when you've finished up four years in college realising that you've spent all that time doing something you really couldnt give a toss about? i've been drawing up a list of all the wonderful things i would love to do, including learning the guitar, joining a band and having my as yet undiscovered brilliance applauded by the world. alternatively, packing it all in and heading off to dunfermline for saturday wouldnt be so bad either. (mind you, smart money is on me getting a job and cowering in front of nasty bank manager) maybe i should opt for the life of ken chu and simply adopt a new name and reinvent myself - touring the country, living from one vodka and red bull to the next - much to be said for it i'm sure! ok, that's my bit for this evening - i shall pack my bags and reclaim my rightful place among the lurkers of the list. and may i just be the first to say to all you lucky devils going to see b&s in the next 2 weeks - BOOHISS!! (*so*jealous!) enjoy yourselves on our behalf! trish _____________________________________ Get your free E-mail at http://www.ireland.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: political content: dispose of as you see fit
by chris perriman 07 Jun '01

07 Jun '01

general election time again then (sorry about political content, hit delete now if you have no interest in the subject) being the tender age of 21, i'll be voting in my first general election this evening, i missed the last one by a matter of months, but who to vote for? the choice in my constituency is weak to say the least. living in a virtually assured labour seat (south shields has been labour since we had our first MP) i'd normally vote labour as they've done a relatively good job here bit as our MP of 21 years, dr david clark, has stepped down this year to be replaced by one david miliband, tony blair's chief policy advisor, a man who had never set foot in south shields until this election, he's obviously been placed here by tony coz he wants mr miliband to keep his place in his government. what does he care about his constituents? he'll be spending all his time in london. conservatives dont even get a look in, i grew up under the thatcherite régime and i dont want to go back to that. there are two independents standing; the UK Independence Party who have one policy, the EU and keeping the pound which i dont believe in because a) we're already *in* europe and have been for 30 years, and b) who cares what currency we spend, we already had a major upheaval of the pound in 1971 and we got used to it, why is it important that the coins we spend have the £ symbol on them or not, they'll still have the queen's head on the reverse (although that's an entirely different argument); the other independent candidate is simply in favour of better hostitals, a worthy cause but not really a broad enough view in my opinion. so i guess i'll be voting liberal democrat. not because i believe in them (although their policy for students is better than the big two parties), but because i believe that because i have the right to vote then i should use it, and spoiling my ballot paper when i've nothing to protest about is pointless. voter apathy really gets to me but i won't go into that here, i've used up too much of your valuable time already. is it really fair voting for one man over another just because he's the best of a bad bunch? ok so some content is needed i see. is there going to be a picnic on the beach at scarboria before the gig and if so, where and when? will that do? i'll go to vote now, i might just close my eyes and stick my pen on the paper but what would that achieve, i dont agree with the national lottery so why should i vote that way? bugger i hate politics. pez* ps; to the other pez on the list, i got the impression that you are american, (are you?), if so i'll sign off as UK pez* and you can be US pez*, ok?, it'll be like the charlatans and suede becoming the UK charlatans and the london suede when they tour in america, or not. www.pez.com - the wonderful world of pez ;) ivorytowers.8m.com - ivory towers records www.drpez.com - Dr Pez, Spain's premier fish doctor (i think) _________________________________________________________________________ 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: And Now I Know How Joan Ruddock Felt
by P F 07 Jun '01

07 Jun '01

France 2-1 Brazil. "It's like 1986 - but better". Blimey. So much for Voter Apathy. I went a long way for my local MP. The extra mile, no less. It cost me, in essential money on our publac servacez, I mean, public services. A lot of people have been saying things like 'We don't want another Labour landslide'. I have no belief that we'll get another Labour landslide, but from my POV the kind of people who *really* don't want another Labour landslide are Tories. That's a good enough reason for me to want one. Did I ever tell you about the time I walked across Norwich for an hour to vote in a *local* election? No? You want to hear about it? Oh. Spotted the other night in London's fashionable Old Street: family Moore from London's classy Blackheath; Cabbage from London's earthy Patch; the Foxgloves. Other people said things, but I haven't had time to read them lately. Were they good? Oh. Vote late, vote occasionally. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: ok.. wo rather nice guys need yer help... =0)
by Neil Milton 07 Jun '01

07 Jun '01

Hi guys.. Firstly and most importantly... does ANYONE have a spare ticket for the gig at the barrowlands on the 16th for my best mate andy..? if anyone has a ticket could you email him @ "Andy Bonar" <twelvestringhooligan(a)hotmail.com> he'll buy you sweeties... =0) (doesn't that smilie look like henry's cat) Secondly... have any of you heard lanarkshire's CLAN FM? Shit ain't it? well, myself and a couple of friends have come up with the idea of petitioning the bosses to ask them to PLEASE give the station an alternative music show. Lanarkshire. The breeding ground for the best of Scottish alternative music, and the regional radio station plays Phil Collins every hour. so if everyone signs our petition, we will at least have a document to say, "hey, folk want this. You can't ignore the fact you'll get more listeners" so.. please go along here and put yer name on... http://www.petitiononline.com/troika/petition.html (one wee thing though, if you sign it, can you view it to make sure your signature is on it.. its been playing silly buggers with me and not adding some signatures. Thanks) Anyway... thanks for reading and thanks in advance for signing...

Sinister: Funeral Games
by MIWinship＠aol.com 07 Jun '01

07 Jun '01

The mourners at my funeral will hear Joy Division, "Low", Blue Jam and the Eraserhead soundtrack as they weep and weep at my passing. Giant ice effigies of me, recreating classic poses, will serve to remind them of their loss. 'The Seventh Seal' will be projected onto the church wall and strange hooded dwarves will serve nibbles at the three day wake.... Frogs using my computer are the least of my worries now that SnakeRat (next door's hairless cat - you know the ones) has taken to exploring our house. It looks like MewTwo and makes us scream like girls when we find it. Whilst leafing through a copy of Gentleman's Quarterly at work, chanced upon an article charting the history of Vodka & Red Bull (10 years old). Seems it began as a Sloaney drink for apres-skiers and Hugh Grant. How'd it get so popular with Sinister types, then? Mike. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Spahke and Mary
by eu eu 06 Jun '01

06 Jun '01

Not serious, peeps.... ?Spike and Mary? When I was alone Spike and Mary came along and helped me up They said I should search for my light inside so I got my shit, simply left my wife and wandered the streets in pursue of true happiness which, OK, I'm yet to find I saw hip queers walking around with rich johns and I saw hip whores sucking the johns of rich johns on their way to see their immediate johns on Wall Street to suck on THEIR ding dongs. I also saw Waldo as he painted the walls white with Harry jerking off in the gready moonlight And there she was, Georgie boy getting pouring sumetin' red on the sidewalk. Yeah, the sidewalks I used to sit on the sidewalks and look around for hardbodies while whining about being overcooked by the sun My bald surface constantly constipated by the harsh climate which made my angry, so I turned on my insticts and in the ground I laid I used the little I had left to consult Mary and Spike again. Mary told me my head was fucked up and Spike said my eyes weren't open no, not nearly enough conflictant opinions which drove me to the edge as I stood on the bridge and grasped for less less than enough to make me turn back and as my kid saw me there and cursed my sorry guts I realized what fucking little I had and it only made me feel worse I then decided to die, but as Lou sang he made me realize that I too could achieve Kingdom Come So I went to Spike, alone and once there I could glance see happiness waiting as he made his big entrance.
