Sinister: We're all going on a summer holiday
by Madeleine McNeil 15 Jul '01

15 Jul '01

My dear old mum is taking me off to the seaside. Hooray! I haven't been on holiday since 1995, when I was 16 and too busy sulking and thinking about kissing Jarvis Cocker to have a good time. The last time I saw the sea was during an ill-advised daytrip to Skegness a few years back (for our non English cousins, Skegness is a hellhole of a tacky seaside resort with holidays camps and such), where I met a girl who was going out with a friend of mine. She kept telling me about all the infidelities she had committed. Very awkward. Anyway, the Matriarch and I are off to Cornwall to stay in a B&B on the cliff top. I'm super excited as a friend of ours moved there years ago and we haven't seen her since. Also, going on holiday is a wonderful excuse to buy new books and lots of toiletries in cute, small bottles. I will get my mum drunk, which is very simple (a pint of Caffrey's if you spot us at the bar) and we'll paddle in the sea and search out second hand shops and I'll smile at cute surf boys (although things were easier when there were cute serf boys, at least they knew their place). PeetSketchPete mentioned getting rid of collections of stuff. I am going through the same trauma at the moment as I have to move house soon. I've already sorted through my make up and got rid of loads of nail polish. Then I threw away some sheets covered in hot rock burns (the ex's, not mine, I must add). And while the ex got custody of the garlic crush and the potato masher when he left, I got custody off his bong, so I'm doing the responsible thing and giving it to a 15 year old friend of my brother. My flat is such a mess that whenever I move anything I get a sneezing fit from the dust so I'm finding it difficult to motivate myself. I did find a recording of Top of The Pops 1982, which was interesting. Orange Juice featured, ripping it up and starting again (which is what I've already done with this post three times). The most horrible thing about all the moving business is I'm such a hoarder, but I just can't seem to justify transporting all this junk from one place to another. Who needs a note that was sent in 1997? Who needs a packet of anti depressants that were prescribed three years ago, and not even to me? And all those photos that were taken in bad light, of people whose names I forget, what am I going to do with those? Moving is like therapy: it forces you to go through all the mess, reassess it and chuck out what is weighing you down. And it's difficult to tell which one is more expensive. The recent posts have been great and there's been lots of stuff that I've read where I've thought "oooh, that's interesting. I'll mention that", but I've forgotten most of it. I too have to find a job, but I'm not too bothered as it doesn't have to be a proper job and I do know how to pull a pint of Guinness and do the shamrock in the top. To all those that have graduated, all I can say is Well Done, and thank God I don't have to for two years. I've also liked the spate of first time posters, hello to you all. Oh, I got dragged into a shop by thin and rich friends the other day to look at over priced "ironic" tat. My fave was a long rack of indentical T-shirts that said FUCK FASHION. Mass produced anarchy: I love it. Anyway, whilst there I saw a T-shirt that said I *HEART* PF. So, all Pine Fox fans get down there quick. Someone mentioned Simon Armitage: could anyone recommend something by him? I read a poem of his today and it was wonderful. No word as yet from the Poetry Parrot, his creative juices have dried up. All contributions and musingss greatfully received. Llaura Llew's post about Greek stuff made me think of The Secret History by Donna Tartt, which I think I'll take on holiday with me. Intellect, debauchery, incest, greek mythology and murder. What more could a girl ask for? Except a gazillion pounds (sterling) and an effective cure for eczema, of course. I'm off for a work meal tonight, if making tea for the homeless and vulnerable on a volunteer basis two mornings a week counts as "work". Think of me, as I'll be thinking of you as I spill dinner down my top and laugh too loudly. Love Heiress Madeleine, Lady Lolly xxxx PS Big shakes to Llaurra Llew, my kitty Big Stu, who is still lovely Will, who hassled until I posted And just about everyone else. _________________________________________________________________________ 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: Exhibit A
by Katharine Sandysford-Chatton 15 Jul '01

This is my first post, hopefully it's in plain text. I'd been thinking of joining this list for a couple of years, but I always ended up chickening out. Preston decided it for me, so I joined. I'm in Manchester, I like sleeping and Irn-Bru. I haven't fully woken up yet, so I'm still feeling fuzzy around the edges. For the moment I'll leave it at that.

Sinister: Oh! Get me away from here Aunt Diane
by ArtsyDeco＠aol.com 15 Jul '01

15 Jul '01

Hello list of perpetual chutzpah! I've been away from you for so long. I still have over a hundred emails to read. I will not delete, not for anything. There are a few things I've been meaning to tell you but we'll start with: I'M COMING TO ENGLAND That's right. Brace yourself brits. I'd like to believe my Aunt Diane had a hand in it. We'd seen her just a few days ago and I've come to the conclusion that something about her countenance makes people want to approve of things. Peter Carter was just here. My parents sent him home a week early. Now I'm coming to see him. Rarr. Anyway I think everyone should come to blackpool and see me. Surely you have nothing else to do then? Aren't you at least curious? No? Oh well, more time to ourselves then. I've had the new EP a while now. I won't give another review but I would like to point out something I noticed. During Lonliness Stuart says "You care I know" and the second time especially it sounds like he is saying "You, Kara, I know." I submit this as undeniable proof that Stuart and I are the best of friends. I wish I could remember all the things I meant to say. The last thing I remember before my sinister hiatus was feeling confused as mr. halfabee was adressing us as if we were all syd barrett. I saw a red bull yesterday. Didn't buy any but I think I will in honor of Kenchu being exactly what this list has going for it. I think we all ought to wish JenOwl a very speedy recovery and much health in the future because we all like her. I know I do. She shared her rainbow brite site with me and for that I am eternally grateful. Shy violet really does kick ass. Dyma pish. Hey, Welsh people, is that right?

Sinister: Don't throw anything out of the window, the bonsai tree's on the stool
by James Thorniley 15 Jul '01

15 Jul '01

Good news everyone! There is now officially a pretty girl working in Superdrug in Guildford. This is good because on my saturday job I buy Tuna and Cucumber sandwiches from superdrug. Pretty girls behind counters are great because you make an excuse for yourself to go into the shop and then you can spy at the girl while you're making your selection and then if you're brave enough you go and queue for her till and be served by her and she has to smile at you because you're the customer. Simple things.. i suppose. Speaking of work, I made myself quite embarrassed yesterday. Here's a story: Gay boy #1 and gay boy #2 are having a little conversation. We have a small working area and I had nowhere to move and no work to do so you can't blame me for eavesdropping slightly - they are quite aware that i'm in earshot anyway. The two gay boys used to go out, but gay boy #1 is now going out with, for the sake of preserving identities, Mr X. gay boy #2: So how's Mr X? gay boy #1: Oh good <talks about their plans for the evening for a while>. (pause) gay boy #1: Mr X really wants it in the hole now... (there's a certain amount of gayistic slang here that is difficult to transcribe.. being unfamiliar with it myself) gay boy #1: We tried it the other night but it's not working gay boy #2: No? gay boy #1: It's just not going to fit. You could probably do it, but not me... we tried it the other way round.. but still.. have you seen Mr X's? gay boy #2: No.. gb1: Well it just won't go gb2: Could you not.. relax it a little (by now i'm biting my tongue) gb1: I tried my best, it's just not going to work without lube. gb2: Oh yeah, you might as well use lube. At this point I could hold it in no longer and I burst into fits of giggles. Gay boys 1 and 2 looked at me slightly dissaprovingly as if to say "how immature". Well I'm sorry. I tried, but frankly it wasn't my fault - I couldn't help but listen in. They were being dirty and lewd and they knew I could hear. I felt a bit silly afterwards. Still it was quite funny. Amy Bancroft wrote: > and james thorniley had a great subject line from a weezer song, also > brought back memories (thanks). And someone mentioned my name in a post, which brought back memories for me (thanks). Well I think I should end this post about now. I often like to finish posts with a good song lyric, so here goes "na na na naa na na naa na na na na na na na naa na na naa na na na naa na na naa na na na na na na na naa na na naa" - Blink 182 No I can do better than that "I believe the sun should never set upon an argument" - Savage Garden. Oh yes, very sensible. Savage Garden are very deep and meaningful.

Sinister: Thats one slice with butter and one with marmite...
by Tom Pettinger 15 Jul '01

15 Jul '01

Dear all, steve peet wrote (and quoteth I do): Has anyone ever just thrown away something they have given over a fair portion of their lives and savings to collecting? I think I spent one solid year liking something, then deciding it was rubbish and finding something else, which means I frequently come across a decent number of one thing in the chaotic minefield that is my room. I am therefore making this decision all the time, and I reckon I will soon decide to live like a space monkey, two identicle sets of clothes, a piece of carpet to sleep on and a bald head. The things I always keep are my childhood action figures, Teenage mutant hero turtles and the incredible thundercats. Oh my. I remember fancying cheetara... You record company employees will sigh when I tell you that having spent precious time downloading and installing winmx I find that it doesn't seem to work. But you should look away *right now*... If anyone who is well-winmx-experienced could tell me what is going on when it says I am in a remote queue (I'm a bit of an internet philistine) I would be bluddy GRATEful. I assumed it meant I was waiting for someone else to finish downloading from there and I was the next in line to use it (it said remote queue 1) but after waiting for ages it never seemed to do anything else. Anyway, enough of these whiney, boring requests... Miss Llew: if they were bent on doing biblical stuff, they could still have chosen something more interesting. I don't suppose you've ever read any Song of Songs...ooh er... Sorry for wasting your time with a boring post, I've just re-read it and it's absolutely dire but now I've written it i'll sodding well post it. Apologies. Tom (who's most recent post in no way deserves the prefix corduroy boy) P.S. The subject line is simply an instruction for how I like my toast (if anyone was planning to send me some). Why oh why do people think that putting marmite on toast permits them to omit the butter on that slice? The marmite and butter are unequally symbiotic, the butter may exist without the marmite but without butter the marmite fails to satisfy. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: So many Christians. So few Lion (Llews)
by Laura Llew 14 Jul '01

14 Jul '01

DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE First, some questions: Is the NME really qualified to make such diagnosis as calling us a "sick posse of f**ked in the head psycho-fans"? If so, where did they obtain their degree from? If it is the same veritable spring of wisdom and knowledge where they drunk from to be endowed with their formidable journalism and writing skills, it isn't a wonder that none of us are worried. Second, some comments: Big Stu Boisterously Stuttered: >Remember, the Jonathan David single is available on mail order from > >listees in Britain, and the commission charged isn't financial... Why, Stu, if this were an after-school special you'd pay a precious price for your moral depravity which all started with subtly hinted pathetic perversions such as this. Thankfully, I escaped the clutches of becoming another Blanche DuBois and obtained "Jonathan David" without having to rely on the "kindness" of strangers. I've heard many of a whimperer claim that this version of "Loneliness .." isn't as good as others. I don't know what kind of Hi-Fi systems you people possess but any rendition where I can actually HEAR the entire song would be an improvement over the copies I have. I kept postulating what happened to the person holding the recorder as to why the song was so incredibly uneven. Were they trying to become one with the song's narrator and just took off running jogging during the middle of the tune? Was it another case of instantaneous Stu Swooning? Even with the poor quality of my prior recordings, I still adored the song and that love has now blossomed fully with having the single. I've decided that B&S need to hire me as their new consultant. This whole music of biblical proportion idea is getting tre tiresome. Anymore, jermiads or haughty harangues from Mr. Murdoch and I shall be forced to forsake this group for something more hedonistically appealing - like Amy Grant. Perhaps they should part from the road to Damascus and try a foray into Greek Mythology. With my kidnapping adventure with Cupid, I can attest that it's much more fun. Damon and Pythias would be comparable to Jonathan David and think of all the fun rhymes with Pythias! Or don't... Perhaps they're simply caught between Scylla and Charybdis. (See! The possibilities are endless!) If my memory serves me correctly, REM might have already tried this route anyway. All it resulted in were young boys with eyes glazed over with music tapping their finger to their lips as they tried to figure out the allusions. Anything which puzzles and bewildered males is good in my book (which is filled with mostly pictures). I Love My Car I'm from the south so I know all about an automobile being closer to one's heart than your spouse or more shocking yet - your own dog. However, I'm here to tell you that such love affairs can be detrimental to your emotional well-being. You go through 160,000 miles with a car, you love it, you care for it, you lovingly call it Hubris because never before has a car had a brighter shine or a engine that purred as sweetly. Sure, there were a few scrapes when you let your sister drive and that entire ordeal about a boulder falling on the hood while driving through a canyon in Colorado, but still it's your everything. Then on a hot sultry day in South Carolina it decides it doesn't love you anymore. Your gas foot was too heavy, your braking too light, your frequent oil changes not enough, and it's sick of a tattered copy of Gravity's Rainbow sitting in the back window which is NEVER going to be read. It's moving on, sweetheart. Oh it'll run for you now but not without grumbling a curse of, "You're going to wish western North Carolina had public transportation, baby" as it finally starts with a cough. You're left scanning the newspapers for the next sale at the dealership will you'll have to settle for another car who will just leave you at the side of the road refusing to budge because you don't give it a high sheen wax anymore. Meanwhile, my friend just named his new car after me. Woo Hoo! I bet "Llewie" has a great chassis. I can't wait till she breaks his hear - Awwww yeah.... Laura 'meeting all of your Laura Llew needs since 1977' PS - apologies to Grainne for thinking she was a boy simply because I'm unfamiliar with her name. I simply thought anything which started with a "Grrrr" would be associated with males. PPS- Bre, never before have I been referred to as "endowed." From now on, you shall hear nothing but harassment and cat calls from me PPPS - I love Chrissy because he's too Prissy for anything but a horse drawn carriage _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: My girl's not the hideous Sonique

14 Jul '01

Hello, I notice a drop of amount of mails recently after the B&S SINGLE! and PEEL! SESSION! and GIG! euphoria so I thought I'd inject some fresh seymour stein into your family tree.. I don't actually have much contents to boot tho, except that hearing about John John's wet dream the other day I had a sudden revealation that maybe it's wrong that in The Boy in the Arab Strap album that Seymour Stein should come before a space boy dream and dirty dream #2. Talking about dirty dreams, the Dirty Vicar said: >> Danger, quoted content ahead. on 7/7/01 22:45, Laura Llew at lleweth(a)hotmail.com wrote: > Make that a quarter > pounder WITH cheese! yeah yeah. I won't be the one whose brain turns to mush. << Only if you avoid eating mushy peas, because you are what you eat, you know. Cats have great agility and you wonder why the Chinese do well in gymnastics. I'm crap at gymnastics so don't worry the more cat-like ones of you. and thank God I ate those "stud muffins" when I was young. I must have accidentally also eaten a calculator too, cos the other day I was watching countdown, and they did the numbers round, and there was a difficult question and CAROL VORDERMAN DIDN'T GET THE ANSWER and I DID! I felt really clever, so I e-mailed the answer to countdown(a)channel4.com as soon as I could in the hopes that they will get that answer in time and show it on TV, and then, it occured to me that the program was probably pre-recorded, I felt really stupid. Sigh, still have not got a job, maybe I can open some form of bureau de change around Greenwich, from what I hear from the residents there who regularly brandish their banknotes on buses needing change I can probably make a good fortune. or at least enough to afford some cookies from the local chinese take-away. I wonder who burgled the pet shop next door.. bre day said: >>richard john gillanders is a good kisser (cue ken's response)<< he is... On a totally unrelated note, I have been listening to (My girl's got) miraculous technique for about 10 times in a row, and it's great.. bless Sturan's sensitive little soul (by "soul" i did mean soul). In the song he talked about snaking into your room, well, when I was on my train home from the RAH! gig, I played the "snake" game on my mobile phone and I got my highest score ever, maybe it's related.

Sinister: graduation
by idleberry 14 Jul '01

14 Jul '01

well, I did it. I dressed up, and got graduated. It was the best day of my life. I don't need to get married now. Graduating from uni is much more appealing. I wanna go again! I wanna go again! I started the day, after only five hours of sleep, and we made the long trek southwards to Norwich. I saw all my pals, hugged, kissed them all, and gave them wee cards with my name, addy and e mail addy in it. I gave my teacher this lovely cerise silk covered photo album, with bits of tissue paper between the pages, and mounted photos of the boat trip we took at the start of June as a class outing. I saw Darren, and we chatted, and hugged, and chatted and hugged some more, and grinned like buffoons and I dragged him round everywhere with me, running around, as my mum put it, like an overexcited 5 year old. I even tried flapping my arms cos of my gown. I had to. My gown was dark blue, and my "colours" were salmon pink. And I had to tuck my fringe under my mortar board hat. All those tears and stuff! All the bad things that happened to me! I mighty not have got a 1st class degree, but heck, I think I learned a lot along the way. And I got a bunch of ace pals. And I know what sort of people I don't like. Now, its over. I got the yearbook, (a directory of everyone who graduated and their addys, and e mails- a stalkers guide to UEA) a teddybear mascot (mum bought it for me. I named it after my best pal. These things need names). I got my photos back from graduation. I even got tickets for the after party, which was a waste of money, cos people just gatecrashed anyway. I got proffessional photos taken of me holding a rubber tube (oo eer missus!). I got hugs. I got love. I got happy. Now the ride is over, but in retrospect, I enjoyed it. I'm glad I stayed aboard, even when I felt sick and wanted to get off. I wanna go again! I wanna do another degree! its got to be more fun than being an adult in the world of responsibility! I wanna go and sit with my pals, slacking, for the rest of my years, discussing things that need to be discussed on a similar level of intelligence! I wanna be surrounded by young people, loads of them! I miss my pals. Especially my favourite pal. right better go now. Off out to posh dinner with boyfriend and the folks.

Sinister: If I could be a song...
by steve peet 14 Jul '01

14 Jul '01

Has anyone ever just thrown away something they have given over a fair portion of their lives and savings to collecting? Today I started to throw away nearly ten years worth of mountain biking magazines. It probably seems insignificant, but all my contorted teenage feelings of freedom and escapism are tied up in that collection... not to mention £3 a copy. But mater and pater have decide they want the space from my old room in their house to put emptiness in, and there just isn't room in my poky flat for all those cardboard boxes, so out they must go. Not before I tear out all the Mint Sauce cartoons though, pretty sad I know living your life according to the antics of a mountain bike riding cartoon sheep and his farmyard friends, but hey, somethings just reach ot and touch your soul don't they? A bit like "my Girl's Got Miraculous Technique". I've been sitting on the fence about the latest offerings, but there's something about that line, "If I could be a song I would be something that would snake in to your room and be with you the whole night long..." that just does it for me. The idea of snaking in to someone's room fitting perfectly with the sinuous, sultry rhythm. Mmmm... Well I'm going back to my afternoon of nostalgia, the B&S back catalogue, old magazines, fresh coffee, crumpets and Simon Armitage poems. Forget the pile of washing up, the overflowing linen basket and the bath that needs cleaning. Tomorrow I'm going to get up early and go for an epic ride, those tunes and pictures in my head, I'll try and make some reality of it all. Thanks for letting me share my reverie.

Sinister: Trussst In Me

Hi All, I can't take the credit for having sufficient memory to make this link to a key slice of Sinister history, I just wanted to share it with all of you: (MY GIRL'S GOT) MIRACULOUS TECHNIQUE ....
