Sinister: run christian! run!
by Blake 30 Jul '01

30 Jul '01

for those of you who consider yourselves rockabilly godsends-- it occurred to me last night that i have much to share with you all, so share i will, and share i must. so grab your favorite stuffed animal; slam down seven Red Bulls; go buy a red fishing hat; DREAM. so here we go. much discussion about isobel's PRAT. for those of you who may recall, a few seasons ago i sent isobel a declaration of love, and furthermore asked her, in response to my tear and joy soaked message, to chose one of two boxes. one was hopeful, exuberantly idealistic, and the other had something to do with marriage. GOOD news and BAD news. i got a reply! yes, isobel wrote me back! and yes, she did check one of the boxes for me. unfortunately, it was one she had concocted herself. so in scribbly handwriting next to a haphazardly selected box were the words "BILL ME LATER". humph. and she threw in her latest gentle waves LP for me, too. not sure what to do with it. i don't suppose i should play it. i'm at summer school. much to my chagrin. chagrin often plays out as a thematic preponderance in my life. after all, i was born in CHAGRIN FALLS, OHIO. no lie. i kid you not. i would never kid you. not to be confused with twin falls, idaho. people do not have goats as children. therefore, they are not KIDS. they are CHILDREN or BRATS. just not kids. FLASH BACKWARDS three years. i got marine research a few weeks ago and it's adorable. i'm going to take it to class with me today and show it off. good grief, the shows coming this fall to the greater Chapel Hill/Winston-Salem/Piedmont Triad are phenomenal--built to spill, pedro the lion, unwound, modest mouse, and lots of others i can't remember. this is truly remarkable. after years of complaining all the acts i wish to see have flung themselves submittingly on my doorstep. by the way, i have a CRUSH on the keyboardist from The Comas; they're a chapel hill band that nobody really knows much about, but as i've said on the list before, their last album is a pure gem. i actually saw them a week or so ago, and spotted miss lovely keyboardist in the crowd watching the horrid opening acts and almost ignited a conversation with her. but of course, in true blake-esque fashion, i skirted confrontation. of course my in-line was to be something like, "i really like the synth solo on track x!". putty. in. my. hands. no doubt. i'm afraid this is all i have one of these days i will have something monumental to relinquish unfortunately, that day is not today the nerdy shy-eyed pacifist blake +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: a fortune in men's eyes...
by Andy Capps 30 Jul '01

30 Jul '01

hello kiddies, you might remember me from such classics as "angel blackwell loses his temper on irc...." hmmm...this is a new start on the list (well, the email addy from the job that he is soon to be fired from,) and i have let the angel blackwell fly away and bother someone else for a change. he's such a pain in the arse sometimes. so much has changed in the last little while and i seem to have lost all fantasies in the process. i just want to thank all you guys for your posts, as they seem to make my day go be in a happier way. i'd like to thank david white for his site. the downloads on there were far more enjoyable then the last single/ep. i wasn't a fan of legal man either, so maybe it's just me. jonathan david was just such a disappointment and not much consolation since it seems that the band won't be coming to the grey wasteland north of the 49th that some refer to as canada. one band that i did enjoy seeing was gorky's. i was thoroughly impressed. they did an acoustic set, that was enjoyable, well by me at any rate. debs woulda enjoyed it as much as me, but she got carded and had to go all the way home to get her id. heehee, youngins...but what i didn't expect was the second set. they totally rawked. i admit i bought the ticket just cuz i wanted to hear poodle rocking live, but man, they blew me away. and the main guy is a little cutie... oh and i'm going to be in a music video. a friend of mine is the bass player for a band called sully. they were filming down at king and university this weekend, so i got to be part of the crowd scenes. thing is that they didn't have many other extras, so you see us walking by a coupla times. i still haven't heard the song properly. they were filming becke singing in double time, so the playback i did hear made her sound like smurfette doing a single for the minipops. the guys in the band were running around with these bright orange contacts, that really seemed to scare ppl walking by...that was fun. hmmm...not much else is going on. i went on a date that went horribly wrong. much to the chagrin of miss lllllaura. men are too confusing i think. being single is highly overrated. oh and do make say think are going to be playing soon. i can't wait for that as i missed them the last time they played so i could see the clientele. i feel like ken doing his first post all over again. damn, and the phone at my desk is broken...grrr... i think i'm going to have a nap under my desk... see ya later... andrew kenneth capps... PS, sorry this post is a little old but i've had to subscribe and unsubscribe twice and i got sacked in between, but it's so rare that i post, i really wanted to contribute...

Sinister: A summer falating
by James Thorniley 30 Jul '01

30 Jul '01

Hello... Sorry about the subject line. I thought of something witty, honest, but I forgot it. So instead I thought of the first lyric that came into my head and put a rude word in it. I did a search on "falate" on Google to check I spelt it right and got some Blink 182 lyrics - to a song called "When you f*cked grandpa". Hehe.. they are a super shit band. I'm not going to pretend I like them cos they're "just so funny". They're not funny, they're shit. The video to "Hello" by Lionel Ritchie is *funny*. Ahem.. I hope i'm not unpopular for appearing happy. I'm miserable really honest.. so anyway.. picnic. The London one that is. We had lots of fun and drinking. There was guitar and recorder playing as mentioned. My recorder rendition of Judy and The Dream of Horses was crap compared to Mark's Boy With the Arab Strap. I was apparently out of key as well. I was selling charity raffle tickets to all the twee sinister saps at the picnic. I'm sorry if you felt I was preying on your sappyness, but I was suckered too.. I was only selling them because someone randomly rang me up and said "Would you like to sell some raffle tickets", and I said "Yes" cos I'm like that. I'm also sorry if I left any litter after I left. I had to leave early because I had to do some work with a friend and I worried later that I might have left some beer cans there and maybe a tuna cucumber sandwich box, in which case I feel very guilty. I normally clean up after myself, but it was all a drunken haze. In spite of this it was a great picnic... the best bit's being the four stringed guitar, which belonged to someone, and associated hippy singalong mark playing my recorder through his nose the strawberries and cream, though I only had strawberries the non-haribo sweets fruit salad (haribo is evil, apparently) the shade staring at people as they arrived to intimidate them Having a pretty girl in Superdrug is becoming awkward, I'm going to have to find an alternative reseller for my embarrasing anal wart cream. I used to play recorder in church. I got to grade 5. A girl from school I don't know very well once asked me out of the blue if I was still playing the recorder, and at first I didn't know what she was talking about because I'd forgotten I ever did. I asked her how she knew and she said she remembered me playing in her church, which is fucking weird if you ask me. I think I left my recorder on Primrose hill.. oops. If you picked it up thats very sweet and you can keep it and play it through your nose to your hearts content as a prize. If not it is now property of the hill, and therefore recursively probably belongs to the queen, so she can entertain us all by playing it out of her nose, but I bet she can't play it out of her arse. I'll shut up now.. right after I've spent a paragraph explaining how I'm going to shut up...

Sinister: Winter wasting
by Daniela Varanda 30 Jul '01

30 Jul '01

Hello, On B and S day I didn't have the oportunity to have a picnic and meet other fans. Reason number 1: It's really cold here. (I am not complaining) Reason number 2: I don't think I would find enough people to go, although i have discovered there are 9 people from Brazil in this mailing list. Could you please show up? I spent my weekend arguing about the movies me and my friends would watch. I admit I always want the opposite. So, I really tried to watch Pollock this weekend, but... we watched 4 movies, but the one I wanted to. Ok, I hav to go to work now. And also get ready for my classes, that start on Wednesday. Hope you all have a great week! A big hug, Daniela. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo! GeoCities Tenha seu lugar na Web.

Sinister: seeing other people's private bits
by Stankin' Cooter 30 Jul '01

30 Jul '01

My lovelies: I'm spending all my recent days and nights in a grey and beige office. The scurrying of sinister little feet through my inbox manages, every once in a while, to break the trancelike state of exhausted delirium in which I find myself working. For which I thank you. I've recently ordered a whole bunch of belle and sebastian related rubbish to clutter the place up with, so maybe that'll help make things a little more human around here. I've saved this post up for a while, after failing the Dalai Lama/Cliff Richard test a couple of times in recent weeks, so it may be a little on the hefty side. I'll provide a packed lunch with the next one, I promise. SHOULD B&S BE A POP GROUP? Well, frankly, it doesn't bother me too much. I think that pandering to wider tastes is often the beginning of the end, but it usually seems to happen when songwriters in bands run out of things to write songs about, other than being songwriters in bands. I don't see too much danger of that happening in this case. You might disagree: please do so, I don't know very much. I can't imagine that any sort of artist wouldn't want to find their audience. If they're able to go on doing what they're doing, and reach increasingly more people, it'd be churlish to grizzle. Also, I can't help but warm to the people in this particular band, and want them to do well for themselves out of it. I'd actually quite like to see some 'good old fashioned rock 'n' roll excess' from them, in the later years: massive weight gain, trashed hotel rooms, legions of illegitimate children all over the world, brandy balloons full of brown m&m's, that sort of thing. Stuart may love his car, but I'll bet he's at least once wondered what it would look like at the bottom of a hotel pool. Or maybe not. B&S DAY Well, in the absence of either any free time, or any likeminded souls in my little neck of the woods, I spent it here in the office, intermittently working, but also skiving off in #sinister quite a bit. I'll do better next year, I promise. Oh, and seeing a couple more picnic photos recently, I'm reminded once again that we may be a "sick posse of f**ked in the head psycho-fans", but we are, at the very least, a damned handsome "sick posse of f**ked in the head psycho-fans". Which makes all the difference. ISOBEL'S ARSE PT TWO I said something about Isobel's arse in my last post, and thanks very much to the kind listee who sent me a picture of it. I think Isobel's quite lovely, and I like her voice, even at its most hamsterish. About her arse, though, I've no further comment to make. X-RAY SPECS I was just thinking about these the other day. They advertised them on the back of children's comic books (do they still? I haven't seen one for a while), as something you could send money in and buy. I'm fairly certain that they didn't work. How on earth is that an acceptable thing to do? I think that it's more disillusioning than father christmas, the easter bunny and the tooth fairy all rolled into the one great big, jolly, hopping, frilly-skirted disappointment. And you send money! Children's money, that should rightly be used to pay for bullies' lunches, or to get older siblings to buy cigarettes for them! Someone, somewhere, will be living off the money sent in by innocent children, in the rather sweet and naive belief that they'll get a chance to see other people's private bits. Moral outrage isn't my strong suit, but I think that this happens to be the worst thing that anyone's done in the world, ever. JUST QUICKLY 'That Sunday feeling' = the sort of slowly escalating panic associated with a long-overlooked task that you just can't put your finger on. Ghastly. Winter = great. Scarves, soup and stout. And snuggling, for the lucky ones. Not me. But that means that I get an extra stout. Girls in glasses = phwoar. Toast = vegemite, obviously. Anything else is a waste of good bread. *ducks* Ken Chu = the new black, it seems. He goes with anything. Actually, that sounds far ruder than I intended, but I'll leave it as is. That should just about cover it. Stay deliciously crunch-tastic. Bulk love, -Stankin' (call me Werther). _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: The joys of the arab strap
by Ken Chu 30 Jul '01

30 Jul '01

Hello, Hope all is well in the land of Sinister. After asking mummy for some money I trekked down to the sinister picnic, which was great fun. I couldn't afford any Red Bull or vodka so I made do with a bottle of wine for 3.99 (it rhymes!), which had done the trick of making me a bit drunk. Things I remembered from the picnics (not a lot for obvious reasons) were: - Doing a Top of the Pops pop quiz and me being rubbish at it. - Playing with the Top of the Pops pop-ball and me being rubbish at it. - Playing with the football and me being rubbish at it. - Playing with the guitar and me being rubbish at it. - Playing "Mary had a little lamb" on a recorder. - Being looked upon by passers by as if we were Born-again Christians. - Joining some actual Born-again Christians who had guitars with Priscilla after the picnic. - Speaking conherent English at the pub, and me being rubbish at it. The mysterious green stuff was this thing called "Magic Fizz Paintbrush" my friend got as a pressy for me from Majorca, it's like this paint brush shaped lollypop, and this "tin" of mysterious green stuff, you dip the lolly into the tin like with a real paint brush and hey presto it now is a lolly with mysterious green stuff on it. Despite being called "Magic" Fizz I don't know if that stuff was indeed hallucinogenic or not, but then seeing the inebriated way i behaved afterwards, I wouldn't be surprised. Elena said: >>If you or your dad need anyone to do any marketing related job and don't mind about me being a graduate, let me know. Job searching is boring me already and I have just started.<< Ditto for computing jobs please. Yay! Crush votes! I feel all loved now, but then I'll probably never get to know who these unknown lovers are...

Sinister: She's kicking it Old Skool!
by Photojenni27＠aol.com 30 Jul '01

30 Jul '01

>I want a manchester picnic :-) someone else organise it please, im >not too good at this kind of thing. I am in complete agreement here. We should form a group wholly devoted to organising Manchester picnics. I would certainly help, it gives me an excuse to make fairy cakes and sit in the sunshine. It would also be very nice to meet some Mancunian Sinisterines too. Where would we have it though? Piccadilly Gardens in still in a state of disarray..maybe in the lovely Platt Fields park which is where me and my friends usually have our picnics. Me and my best friend made cherry scones yesterday and sat in her back garden and drank tea and listened to the High Llamas and pretended we were civilized because we were too hungover to jump up and down with excitement about being able to see Belle and Sebastian and The Magnetic Fields this time next week. I have found a cocktail which tastes like Ribena and vodka. It is a yummy, if rather potent, combination which probably accounts to me dancing strangely to Northern Soul and having an in-depth conversation with my friend Julian about the joys of pickled onion Monster Munch, Crisp sandwiches in general and H&M Hennes on Saturday night in a club called the Tiger Lounge. Very fun it was too. Send me a summer picnic and I'll be your friend for life. Cay xXx P.S. Just in rememberance of a previous topic, do boys make passes at girls who intermittantly wear glasses? I managed to obtain a pair of lovely Lazy Line Painter Jane-esque glasses which I need to read/write emails/etc as well as wear in times of hangover-induced sight loss. Just wondering if they would hinder my chances of meeting a lovely wee Indie boy now I'm single again *sigh* P.P.S Can someone please tell me how to send emails to Sinister using AOL 6.0? Pretty please with sugar on top? "Girlfriends? Boyfriends? They come and go... But Pickled Onion Monster Munch? Now they're eternal." http://photojenni.diaryland.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
