Sinister: Allusions of Paradise
by Kyla Schuller 17 Aug '01

17 Aug '01

If the Pinefox is our Milton, let us hope he does not have any daughters. And I would like to echo the call for words of wisdom from Velocity, our very own Jane Austen. Wait, let me explain. You see, Austen can be credited with not only developing the style of dialogue known as indirect discourse, but with the very genre of the novel itself. Furthermore, she wrote with great wit and irony about the great political topics of her day, all the while cloaked as mere gossip about men with big inheritances. We can only hope Velocity inspires a similarly productive literary genre. Indirect discourse may already have been discovered, but Velocity leads the way in indirect capitalization. Only she can know the psychological insights such a development will surely bestow upon us all. Words of encouragement must be extended to JohnJohn, whose post of summer walks and broken hearts was beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us all. Final props go to Robin Stout for the eloquent green vs. yellow defense. Let us hope your prediction is true. Does anybody else find the new white stripes album engagingly depressing? it haunts me, especially the line, " what would i like to have been? everything you hate," it traps me in, i want to resist, i want to say no! i will listen to sleater-kinney today and shout and be happy! but instead, as i near the CD player, a strange compulsion puts my hand in autopilot, and in pops the smoothly white CD, like a nice clean slate, a tabula rasa, only the future has already been written, i know exactly what will happen. it's predetermined. like luther, i can only study and pray that my deeds will somehow affect my fate, which i know to be sealed in alabaster. anyway, we need a picnic mummy for SF on the 8th. We need a proper Golden Gate Park location, as well. We need to warn all out-of-towners to expect bone-numbing fog and winds. so let your fashion decisions be made accordingly. xo kyla __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: put the needle to the record
by Dirty Vicar 17 Aug '01

17 Aug '01

did I mail in to tell you how I'd got myself a record player? It's great being able to play all my old vinyl records now. They sound so much nicer than stinky CDs. I've decided that as Jazz sounds best on vinyl I'm going to become a Jazz aficionado. So I got myself a Blue Note complilation - "Blue Break Beats vol. 4". It's GRATE, with loads of extra tracks exclusive to the vinyl release. And while the whole thing is so very like the kind of thing you hear at B&S discos, two tracks have extra special B&S magic powers. First up there's 'Three Is The Magic Number' by Bob Dorough. Older listers might remember how at the Bowlie Weekender the DJs played this every ten minutes. The other magic track is 'The Beat Goes On', sung by Buddy Rich but composed by Sonny Bongo. As you know, the Gentle Waves played this towards the end of their gig in Dublin a while ago. Rener and I are getting all excited about going to London at the end of the month to take in Track & Field and have a good time all of the time. It will rock. Elise mentioned how haikus are meant to have a five-seven-five syllable structure. But a poncey friend of mine who lives in Japan maintains that actually they're meant to have a five-seven-five *sound* structure, which is very different. Although he wasn't able to say how, so maybe with your studying Japanese you can help. Incidentally, I've also read and enjoyed Bill Drummond's "45", but I find Drummond's relentlessly analytical nature a bit insufferable. I reckon he must be completely hellish to live with, and is completely incapable of enjoying music in a purely aesthetic sense. Have you reached the bit where he's driving back from Northern Ireland carrying a work of art by Zodiac Mindwarp called "Nazi Arseholes"? It sounds like it would make a great cover for the next B&S record. I found John John's long walk story very evocative. Not really evocative of anything other than long walks and having things on your mind, but it was evocative of that and I'm glad I read it. Oblique Chu bit: Rachel Cornflake says: "Ken Chu, will you be MINE? I have fantasies of this mild-mannered asian by day, DDR sexpot kung fu fighter by night. How close am I? " I say, what's all this DDR stuff about? I'm maybe being a bit slow, but in my day DDR stood for Deutche Demokratishe Republik (or something like that), so it conjures up this image of Ken working for the Stasi, which would be nice. I've been thinking a lot about Toasted Heretic lately. They're this lost Irish band from the '80s, actually from Galway. They released tapes and records and stuff, but their best thing is their first cassette only release, "Songs For Swinging Celibates". It's got all the classics on it, well they're classics round my way even if no one else on list has ever heard them. finally, isn't the problem with Nick Drake documentaries that there is no footage of Nick Drake and hardly any photographs? And that he never really did anything apart from make great music? time to go! party on.

Sinister: We Got Met By A Tear Gas Bomb
by P F 17 Aug '01

17 Aug '01

The provinces, again. Old inspirations. The piles of clouds on every horizon through tinted windows. The woods. The 'suburban' streets with their multiple boozers. Left at the side of the road like a figure in a film noir - but it's all in colour. DJ Cockfarmer wasn't, mind. He wore all black. He's a Goth. You know I said the Beard was Back? I was right. DJC talked of what the Yanks think of the pinefox. It is unrepeatable. Doctor Groove came on like a Czech revolutionary poet. Terry Wogan did not perform the Waggle Dance. sinister content: DJ Carsmile showed up looking maybe like a Small Faces fan. He played no Small Faces. On the Cowley Road I was excited to be on the Cowley Road, obviously. The chippy was Cambodian, but sold fish. In the Latrino the kids came and went, and they weren't talking of Di Livio. They headed downstairs every gal jack of them to where hot action was. An inferno, and a disco to wellington, I mean, boot. I only went there for the bog, of Arran. I didn't see Geneva Fairport, I think she'd already sailed. DJCockfarmer spoke very intelligently about pop, interviews, Lennon, the Clientle and, more crucially, THE BOSS. If you'e not interested in the Boss, don't worry - I am. DJC cleverly said that camp and irony should be a personal thing, not a collective one. At that point I felt I knew I was in the presence of a pop thinker I could do business with. American Express, ma'am? No, Oxford Tube. DJC played some hits: 'We Could Walk Together', 'Piccadilly Palare', 'Rattlesnakes', 'TWBTAS'. He marred it a little by playing his favourite songs of recent times at the end, and giving me a full-frontal chance to realize, once and for all, that they were both turgid and terrible. Emily Wsizskaskas implied that I was relatively impenetrable; and I didn't mind. Mooro said: >>>I don't think enough of you have been reading the second chapter of Peter Millers's novel Mucky Pups at cos its only at Number One in the popularity listing. Well, I certainly haven't. What do you think I am, a fan of that geezer or something? >>> one of her everso tender and loving "nothing personal but if you're posting more than once a day ... " mails soon. It's true. Stevie T and Ally96 have got to cool down and post less often. >>> Rener, did someone supply a full name for P F's 23rd best songwriter yet? I supposed Gene Clark, but who knows in such an idiosyncratic listing. Idiotic? We'll see who's idiotic. Oh, I see. Gene Clark, yes, of course. >>> Isn't geehaw something to do with training horses to turn left or right? It's an invented verb. [- Aren't they all? choruses the Pedants Against Pedants Society.] >>> Doesn't Kelvingrove's Museum & Art Gallery look romantic during the sunset? I don't know; but the English countryside does. I think this is where I came in. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make international calls for as low as $.04/minute with Yahoo!

Sinister: The Wind Cries Midge
by David Moore 17 Aug '01

17 Aug '01

Hi All, I don't think enough of you have been reading the second chapter of Peter Millers's novel Mucky Pups at http://www.badosa.com/bin/obra.pl?id=n121-02 cos its only at Number One in the popularity listing. "is your dog sniffing my bird? " was the line that made me crack up in this one. I have a faint premonition that ListMummy Honey may recycle one of her everso tender and loving "nothing personal but if you're posting more than once a day ... " mails soon. How many of you are going to the film showing at the Edinburgh Festival tomorrow? I trust there will be Reporting Back, both on the music and any celebrity sightings. Rener, did someone supply a full name for P F's 23rd best songwriter yet? I supposed Gene Clark, but who knows in such an idiosyncratic listing. BTW Joe, try http://www.iwm.org.uk/online/ardizzone/author.htm for a little about your boozer's artist. Isn't geehaw something to do with training horses to turn left or right? Doesn't Kelvingrove's Museum & Art Gallery look romantic during the sunset?

Sinister: ringo in the bathtub using all your soap
by Kirsten Kenyon 17 Aug '01

17 Aug '01

there was a girl at school we secretly used to call "la dolce gilda." she had lovely dark brown hair that swooped nicely over one eye, and once i told her she had pretty hair and she said "thank you, babycakes" and winked. or maybe she blinked, i couldn't really tell with that one eye covered. she had a boyfriend who looked like nick drake and once i saw the two of them armwrestling, and she had a red heart tattooed on her bicep and she was wearing stilettos. i think she won. she was the sort of girl everyone would like to walk beside, but she was a cocktail waitress at the hotel metro and i was spending friday nights at the clubhouse pouring beer for the harley league. la dolce was a dream, and we imagined she did things like lean seductively on a piano in the velvet room, or maybe invent things. it was all ruined one day when emily saw her hunched over a table at pizza shuttle stuffing her pretty face with spaghetti and meatballs, a black bear raspberry soda pop and a dish of almond custard, smoking newports. her hair was in a ponytail and she was wearing a grey hoodie and a faded pair of blue jeans. it was all very sad, and not unlike the episode of the wonder years where a pair of tube socks flies out of that poor cheerleader's bra during a football game and the boys are all heartbroken with disappointment. it's sometimes better not to know the truth. ...which is exactly why i have chosen to ignore those anti- tobacco "truth" ads on television. at the beginning of the month, i had designated the 16th of august as my day to quit the cigs, and here it is the 17th and i'm still puffing away like thomas the train engine. i quit for awhile by chewing lots of bubblegum, but that's bad for the jaw, and i know because my flatmate lindsay used to chew too much gum and she got something like TMJ and the doctor was suspicious that her jaw had been overworked in *other* ways and this all resulted in some anger and embarassment leading to lindsay and her boy getting in a shouting match in the kitchen. i'll stick with the smokes, i think. xoxo kirsten with a k as sharp as the devil himself 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: Nick Drake tours the east coast
by colin thornton 17 Aug '01

17 Aug '01

I thought people might be interested in the new Nick Drake film documentary that will be playing in certain festivals all over the world. I don't know much about this film, except that it is much better than the crappy BBC documentary that was made a few years ago. For more information- go to the end of this e-mail. I chanced upon Pete Yorn playing a free mini-concert at my local indie record store, but I don't really know who he is (except that I'm sure he is well known in the indie music scene). I guess seeing him will have to do since I lost my Radiohead tickets and B&S are avoiding me. My friends call me Tink because they named me "Tinkerbelleandsebastian" (it was too long so they shortened it). I kind of like it. Whenever I say something stupid (which is often), they look at me derisively and say (in a reprimanding way) "Tink!!!" which gives me the feeling of being on a sitcom or something. Does anybody else have an unhealthy obsession with the Little Prince? My friends point out that boys who obsess over the Little Prince are undeniably gay. This is why I like twee books...because idiots (like my friends) are too grown up and boring to enjoy them. Anyway, all sinister children should buy The Little Prince because it is the Twee Bible (and Isobel recommends it). I just found out recently that the Little Prince is on French currency. I want to move to France via Chicago, Portland, Alaska, and Amsterdam. Unhappy at the mall I work at, Tink P.s.
