Sinister: school, schoolpictures, schoolfood, schoolpeople.
by Astrid Wiezell 22 Aug '01

22 Aug '01

Hiya all of you.. I´ve just started school again.. Yesterday was quite awful, but today has been really nice, somehow. At art class, our first thing ot do will be to design a lp or cdcover! I am going to do, of course, something B&S, I´m going to do such a nice booklet to it, with band history, and all that. Aah.. We´re also going to make comics on the theme love.. I think I´ll do something with a record store as the main place (unexpected, huh?). I´ve had a nice day, really, I must say that I´m in a really good mood. And tomorrow we have "social day", all the people in my class and the rest of the 15-year-olds in my school are going to, before lunch, talk about masculine and feminine stuff, and then, after lunch.. we´re going to dance!! Foxtrot, walse, you name it, we´ll dance it! It´ll be so much fun! I think it is a wee bit of practising for our prom next spring.. But anyway, dancing is so much fun.. I am a bit worried over dance partners, I admit that. I kind of hope that there will be more girls than boys, because then I could dance with my friends, and I would be able to really enjoy it.. Think about it, how big is the chance that you could realx and feel natural if you dance with someone you´ve like never talked to? Hmm.. It´ll work out. I´ve read a bit about people befriending their guitars again.. and I can say that I have as well. I was planning to quit taking lessons and just make it on my own.. but my guitarteacher called last night and convinced me start again. He is one of the most pretentious people I know, and yet, he´s just 22 yet. He is going to be a psychiatrist, and he thinks he knows EVERYTHING about life. We used to be quite good friends, but then he really hurt me and I still haven´t quite forgiven him for it. We used to talk on the phone almost every day before, but now I never call him. So yesterday when he called, do you KNOW what he said before we hung up? "Astrid.. don´t be a stranger.." _________________________________________s_p_r_a_y_ Här börjar Internet!

Sinister: show me, please, how i will look in twenty years
by Kirsten Kenyon 22 Aug '01

22 Aug '01

helloooo first off, Sam Walton, i am a proud general anaesthetic junkie. when you get to the hospital you'll probably be shaking in your paper booties, but suddenly they'll roll a bed past you to the op room and the person lying in it will be some smiley-faced guy who looks like he was pulled straight from a woodstock video and that's when you'll know everything's going to be alright. it'll be fun, and legal! i have been offered a job as a teacher's aide in eau claire, wisconsin, about four hours northwest of milwaukee. it's a pretty town, but it's small, and also i don't know if i could handle being surrounded by children all the time...but i suppose i might get to read lovely children's books and look at finger paintings and the like, which would be great fun. my only teaching experiences have been when i used to be a junior counselor at a camp and i taught music, art, drama, soccer and archery. at least i hope that's all i taught them, although i'm sure they wondered why some of the counselors were always wandering off into the woods and returning smelling like a bar. oh dear. look at what i've written so far...general anaesthetic is "fun" and oh, i hope i never accidentally taught unhealthy habits to grade schoolers. i'm going to go hide now. xoxo kirsten covering her eyes and peeking timidly through her fingers Care2 make the world greener! http://www.care2.com - Get your Free e-mail account that helps save Wildlife! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: how to get lots of responses
by Vanessa Roseline Siegl 22 Aug '01

22 Aug '01

Following some thoughts I had in #sinister yesterday; I really, just once, would like to write a post that then starts a discussion that then turns into a semi-flamewar. Something I have never managed because I am either to boring or not non-controversial enough ... Or maybe, not having that many friends, not trained in that sort of thing. Whenever I meet my best friend together with a larger group of his friends the discussions see, to revolve mostly around 1) the latest / upcoming holiday 2) how to name your baby 3) rude waiters in restaurants that had been recently frequented 4) Tv / movies This normally seems to spark great response and keep the table busy for an evening or so. On mailinglists it normally seems to be 1) the latest single / album (took too long to arrive, is not as good as the old stuff, is really great, why did they use this and not "..." as a single) 2) band "..." (sound just like, are boring ripoffs, are really great and you must like them, are shit) 3) napster (or audiogalaxy or whatever .. is evil, is great, is ripping off the artist, is great for promotional reasons, makes people buy more/less/no different amount of cds 4) indiemusic fans (or pulp fans or fans of any other bands are just like everyone else / different / cool / not better than anyone else / better than everyone else / don't exist / a desirable thing to be / know more /less than others have great/bad/onesided music taste) Nothing new can be said to any of this. What I am writing has been said lots of time before. So what is the point? Except for my vanity and my need to say something while saying nothing at all. Then there is the nice stuff of course ... stories people sent that maybe do not spark a discussion but would deserve a reply nonetheless; friendships that get formed behind the scenes... All the stuff that mostly is not vanity but nice and heartfelt.

Sinister: ding!
by u07lec＠abdn.ac.uk 22 Aug '01

22 Aug '01

hello, good afternoon, hello, I will, first of all, voice my agreement with idleberry on the complete shutdown of the scottish summer; I don't think it ever even started here, but I might have missed it that one day in May when I went to England, so I better not say anything without proof. Don't want to be accused of basing my comments on any unsound facts - if we all took notice of ken's style of scientific reasoning, the world would be a better place. Archel mentioned the diceman, I completely empathise with her feelings; the book makes you feel a loathing for the diceman, and you feel completely detached from him and his lifestyle, but still you find yourself thinking "hmmm...". How easy would it be to let somebody/something else make all your decisions for you? Of course, you'd have to get rid of your conscience first. I vote we all try it out on saturday, see where the dice takes us.... or not. Archel also mentioned seagulls - I live FAR too close to a huge nesting place of seagulls in the middle of a city, and it's the only time in my life I've ever considered mass murder with a blunt instrument. If anyone has any suggestions on instruments that could possibly be used, please email me... they're city seagulls, probably quite streetwise, so they may well be wise to the baking soda trick. I've tried shouting at them to shut up, I've even tried playing them some nice music, but it's not working. Give me pet sounds over seagull sounds anyday, archel. On the whole subject of indie fascists: peter carter said this: "with cliques come behaviour pattens. People who choose > to > > dress and certain way, or listen to a certain kind of music tend to share > > common traits. This is the essence of cliquedom, and why, if you actually > > dig a bit deeper than the obvious, they are neccesary." (except maybe without all the arrows and in a slightly more flowing style) He also said: "They could have an idea about you though. Don't you choose the clothes you > > wear in order to reflect how you feel, and the values you relate to? > > Personally I've never worn flares or a duffel coat in my life, and I never > > will, but the doesn't mean I wouldn't recognise that I might have more in > > common with someone who did..." and he ALSO said: " There seems to be a disturbing number of 'indie' people claiming they > > like one, and only one, bad pop band in order to prove they aren't > > pretentious. These people are almost always the most pretentious." I say "yay" to ALL of that. Ken Chu said: "I have met some people in the "indie rock scene" who have struck me as being pretentious, but not any more than people in any other "scene" " and I say "yay" to this as well. In regards to ken's other comments about pulling and suchlike, I'll be selling my new "prime genetic material" t-shirts, so make sure you bring plenty of spare cash along....pulling made easy!! People generally think that certain other people on the same 'scene' as them are pretentious and snobby, because they've never spoken to them (I said generally, not always). In my experience, this seems to happen a lot, because a fair proportion of the 'indie' people I've known have been shy, and maybe think that other people are somehow cooler or more 'indie' than them. I know this because I was like that a few years back. Then you start to speak to people through other things, not knowing they're involved in any sort of scene, and then find out at some point that they're actually one of those people you always thought didn't speak to you because you weren;t cool enough for them. You realise that they're actually every bit as shy and retiring as you, they weren't being snobby or aloof, they were just as scared to speak to you as you were to them. Yes, there are some dickheads who ARE actually snobs, and DO think they're cooler than you, but they're the exception rather than the rule. So make indie love, not war. or something.... On a brighter note, I will be coming to saturday's picnic, and as I've only ever met one person on this list, I'm suitably excited. I'm staying at La Casa de Priscila, so hopefully that means I'll get first dibs on the strawberries and cream. I'll be the one with red pants and strawberry-stained hands. And tigermilking sounds like damn good fun. love lyns --------------------------------------------- This message was sent using DISS Web Mail. http://www.abdn.ac.uk/local/mailman/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Music for Chameleons
by Red Geisha 22 Aug '01

22 Aug '01

My point was trying to be constructive, unfortunately that can be construed negatively, apparently opinions if written passionately are seen as negative on this list. I suppose my overall point was basically celebrate who you are and if people aren't perceptive enough to notice you, why waste your time denigrating them? I just find it unbecoming to write a post lashing out at an entire sub-culture. I doubt people decide to be in a "scene", it more or less exists as a label to simplify for society. I'm sure we've all been grouped this way but we don't wake up in the morning (I would assume) thinking like a Brit Pop Girl or a Mod Boy and if someone does, who cares! I know my life has been more rewarding and sometimes trying meeting new people but at least I don't regret it, I would regret being a 25 year old girl who never ventured outside her own insecurities. On a much lighter note, I will be in Glasgow the first week of September and I want to know of any lovely indie nights happening. I imagine I will be inebriated most of my trip but I would love to cut some rug while I'm in town. Any advice on club nights (indie or not) would be appreciated! ta ra, Chrissy >I think it's about this point where Honey would normally start warning >people (not anyone in particular, naturally) to make sure their posts don't >start turning into flames.

Sinister: I know what I did last summer
by Gardiner, Stuart 22 Aug '01

22 Aug '01

I think it's about this point where Honey would normally start warning people (not anyone in particular, naturally) to make sure their posts don't start turning into flames. I'm not quite sure what provoked all these anti-indie-snob diatribes, since I don't recall any such attitudes recently; but remember, those attitudes must exist with some people on a list this size, so let's not slag anyone off, OK? And anyway, we've discussed this many times before, as you could see in the archives if they existed at the moment ;-) I decided a while ago that if somebody doesn't want to like me because of something I believe, or a way I act, or something I say, or whatever else, chances are they must be someone I wouldn't get on with anyway, so I'm not losing anything from the situation. My life's been a lot more stress-free since adopting that philosophy. Try it sometime... I know noone asked me to be babysitter while Honey's out, so I'll go back to doing normal babysitter things like making long-distance phonecalls and raiding the drinks cabinet. Nice to see Archel posting; but very disappointing to see that it was almost entirely devoid of smut. One short sentence about your arse just isn't good enough. Your reputation will start to slip, and we can't have that. Angelina Jolie - the new Monica Queen. Who'd have thought it? I bet Stuart will be quite happy, but Isobel might get upset that it's someone else's arse getting all the attention. I have been accused of betraying my principles in my last post. So to clear up any confusion, just because I think the Lilac Time are a delight of melodic wonderment doesn't mean I've given up trying to convert you all to the joys of The Whitlams. It's just hard persuading people of the merits of a band whose records haven't been released in this country yet. I always thought the whole point of everything Ken does was to pull. Big Stu PS The reason there haven't been loads of Manchester picnics is because it's always raining. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: General Anaesthetic Junkies
by Sam Walton 22 Aug '01

22 Aug '01

Hello!!! Okay, so that was a bit of an over-enthusiastic opener, but then again Ive just heard the new Spiritualized single on the radio. Its soooo wonderful. And have you seen the packaging for their new album? Yum Anyway, just a few things nothing really to do with B&S, although I **could** put some sort of contrived spin on it if you want. Okay then, I won't bother. Basically, the Big News is that tomorrow Im going to have a Big Scary Operation on my buggered knee. And Im scared. Im not really scared about the operation because the guy whos doing it seems to know what hes doing, but its the anaesthetic thats giving me the heebie-jeebies. Ysee, Ive never had a general one before, and the idea of someone knocking me out and all the rest of it just seems to be asking for trouble. Anyway, thats what's scaring me at the moment, so if there are any General Anaesthetic Junkies out there who want to re-assure me, go right ahead In other news just heard the new ShitSailor record on the radio, and Im being totally seriously here: he sounds like Robbie Williams. HE DOES!! HE DOES!! Next time you hear it, just picture Robbie singing, and it make sense. And now, a plea. Its a long shot, but here goes. Did anybody hear the Breezeblock on Radio1 on Monday night? Anyway, Fatboy Slim was DJ-ing, and he played a track called Drumbeat by Jim Ingram, and apparently its on the Respect label, which was a sub-sid of Stax. If anybody has this record or knows where I could get a copy, could they email me off-list? Please! I **need** this track! Oh yeah, Rachel CrnflkGrl0 said about not wanting to play B&S to people because shes worried theyd laugh at the high bits. I sympathise greatly, because I have the same problem with playing people the Tindersticks. Stuart Staples wobbly Vic-Reeves-in-a-club-style voice is beautiful, but takes a bit of getting used to, especially if all youve been brought up on is Robbie/James Walsh. Anyway, not much really to say at the mo I might be at the picnic on Saturday, but nothings for certain, because of the ol Major Reconstructive Keyhole Surgery on my knee on Thursday. Niiiiice.

Sinister: I'm coming out...
by mummy i've grazed my knee 22 Aug '01

22 Aug '01

...to play LISTS Well, the PineFox certainly didn't help Mr Hallifax's phone bill. We've been discussing song writers long and hard. We decided the long ones were best. TWISTS I am on holiday for a bit because I've run out of work at my job. I worked so hard that I've done everything! Luckily, like idleberry, I'm now friends with my guitar and we are having fun together. NICPICING Nicpicing on Saturday sounds fun. Where does a boy buy red pants. I'm just going to have to colour in a pair of black boxers with felt tip. Tigermilking sounds dangerous and Asm Walton would be well advised to leave it alone. INDIE SCHMINDIE Ken was spot on, people try to be indie in order to pull and that's all there is to it. I'm pushing indie fashion to the limits today and am teetering on the fine line between indie and twat. On the same thread...I am doing a degree in philosophy and I didn't understand a word of what the Red Geisha was on about. HOBB-NOBBING Johan talked about the poor people of Kazakhstan and their hobbiting. I'll never feel safe in the woods again. Although if I saw people were getting arrested for it, I'd just stop doing it. Perhaps I'm a wuss (cut the perhaps). OOOHHH STRUAN... Cay got my Struan juices running again. What is it about that man. I wish I could dance with him, he moves very well. Lord Anthony is lovely. I know I'm a bit behind the times there, but this Mp3 thing is way beyond me.

Sinister: essex girls
by Rachel Playforth 22 Aug '01

22 Aug '01

it's nearly a whole week since robin made his outrageous implications about my smuttiness, and only now am i responding to the traditional irresistible sinister lure of seeing one's name mentioned (albeit in dubious context). but here i am. just back from an exhausting uk (west coast only) tour of strip joints and nudist beaches. it's also now quite late to comment on the angelina jolie/b&s merger, i suppose. but i am thrilled at the prospect and consider angelina an indie enough proposition (despite tomb raider) not to blow the the band's cover and expose them as, god forbid, a pop group. the only question is: will the fans mistake angelina's lips for isabel's posterior and vice versa...? content (unrelated to isabel's arse): my housemate is now working with struan's old best mate colin at the ymca in brighton. but third hand gossip about stuart as a bairn will only passed on if strictly in the public interest (or dirty). spent the weekend in colchester with ex-yorkies. thinking about it, in our day the assembled company could almost have been a prototype york massive (non-sinister apart from me, but all b&s fans). we had an excellent time despite being in colchester - amongst other things, went to a playground and i got my arse jammed in a slide and said 'shit' in front of a toddler. we also listened to kings of convenience a lot and i can report to the unconverted that they improve greatly combined with laughter, wine and spanish omelette. i also want to mention that on the train home i finished reading the dice man, a book about which i have oddly mixed feelings. i find myself frequently wanting to make 'dice decisions', while also feeling slightly sick/disappointed at the directions the novel takes. any thoughts? snake eyes: i go and change my life any other combination: i go to bed wow - i feel so liberated now i've turned my life over to chance. night night. luv archel xxx on the stereo: pet sounds in the street: seagull sounds *************************************** 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.
