Sinister: I come knocking at your door ... you don't live there anymore
by Richard Gillanders 14 Aug '01

14 Aug '01

if you're looking for a change in image or a change in lifestyle, I recommend contracting tonsillitis. do you contract tonsillitis? let me expand: since getting tonsillitis and getting rid of tonsillitis and then getting it again three things have happened. that I have noticed. so far. I. acquired a new hairstyle [due to lengthened bed-rest] II. lost twelve pounds in weight [at least] III. got rid of a lot of friends due to my talking about tonsillitis. I'm on the look-out for new friends. obviously. or, at least, I'll act like I am. this could be the start of a whole new life for me. thank you tonsillitis! the london picnic is scheduled for the twenty-fifth of august? and people were arranging entertainment or dancing or something for the evening? hey! dean friedman's playing at the spitz on the evening of that day. so. yeah. arrange some entertainment or dancing or something. there's supposed to be another picnic being arranged in scotland too. right? I watched my black sessions/beat patrol cassette again recently. the picture quality really isn't so great. but you get the idea. I got it in while I was holidaying. from ditch records in victoria on vancouver island in british columbia in canada. north america. the man said there had been a leak the night before and the cassette might be water damaged. so he gave me if for half price. the price was already quite little as it was. I don't think the bad picture quality has much to do with the leak the night before. I brought a lot of things back from canada. I think I left some things there too. dimitra's post was lovely. of course. and I'll pretend [in my head] like I had something to with her liking glasgow a lot. there are a few promises of people having flats or houses and there being tea parties or board game tournaments. I like promises. I like promises. I like promises after they've been kept and you've got nothing to look forward to. and I like promises that won't be kept too, but only while you still think they will be kept. I like tea. my brother had a party at his flat on friday and he invited me and I went. and he had lots of friends there than I had never met. and I made a joke about christmas presents and how good they are and a few people liked it. but none of seemed them liked it as much as I did. although I didn't let anyone know that I liked it at all. and I drank two bottles of wine and passed-out. I got the train home the next day with my brother. and we drank coffee in the station. and we must have appeared as if we were grown-ups. it was very wet yesterday. but it didn't seem to affect my new hairstyle much. and I'm back into glasgow today to choose a detail to draw at a lot of different scales for no reason. and to read a thousand pages of fire regulations for one little piece of information. and draw stuff. yeah. I have less than a fortnight. and I'll know if I'll be continuing. my mum works for the SQA. but she didn't last year. I thought about including a story I wrote at the weekend. but why would I do that? anyhow, I got all the angles wrong. there's a thing about angles. maybe. from: richard. ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Make ribena not war
by JENOWL22＠aol.com 14 Aug '01

14 Aug '01

Hewwo, Well, I was being in England at the weekend, so it was rather swell. I went to Portsmouth and saw the ships, to an owl sanctuary and saw the owls, on the London eye and generally had fun with the lovely Ian Hatcher. It was the bestest weekend of my whole life. And then I arrived home and my mum had done up my room while I was away so its all purple and pretty and I still cant believe how lucky I am. I was having this discussion with Jasmine the other day, about how truly amazng my life is. Because she reckons it isnt, cause of the hard kids and other stuff, but I think its just grate. I'd say I'm a happy person right now. But that might just be because I got straight ones in my standard grades so I think everything is grate. Somehow I managed to not let my parents down, even though I was sure I was heading for a crap mark. So I'm one person who loves the postman and the SQA just now. Because I got straight ones. I just had to type it again. And yesterday I was lying on my back in the floor of my new room, on my new carpet, with my old record player playing modern rock song in the crackliest way ever, and I thought that B&S were just really grate. And also about jaffa cakes for some reason. I've also learned a whole new vocabulary from the Viz which is funny because it laughs at poo and we all know that toilet humour is the highest form of wit. Well, I'm off back to bed now. Hugs, Jen Ps. Moonglo. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

i started to read 'Member of the Wedding' but i stopped, (not because it was bad) and it is now lying under the nightable in my boyfriends apt., stripped of its cover (cheap glue). As for the sequins on your amperstand shirt, go ahead. I dont know how old you'll look, just don't wear it in the ocean because it may attract sharks. They like shiny things you know. colleen +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Great Lakes Picnic - Sept 1st!!
by grey7＠ismi.net 14 Aug '01

14 Aug '01

Right, somebody wake up the Great Lakes people. First off, *ALL* Great Lakes people who would like to attend a picnic (Michigan, Illinois, Wisconson, Ontario, Ohio, Indianna people and whomever else cares to attend) please respond to me even if you can't make this one. I'm trying to get a tally for a possible second picnic before the snow flies. I've also just changed computers because my old one crashed and I may not be able to retrieve everyone's email addy who've already mailed me. Second, right now the plan is to hold the picnic in South Bend, Indianna on September 1st. Right now I'm thinking of planning the meeting time as 12 noon - 2pm, with festivities starting at 2pm. I'm getting info right now on camping grounds/places to stay. Anyone who plans to attend *please* email me so that I know how many can make it, also let me know how many of you want to make it an overnight thing and how many need to split the same day and approx what time. Anyone who wants to carpool or needs a lift, let me know and we'll work something out. Also, anyone coming from the direction of Chicago, we have a listee who'd like to attend but doesn't have transportation. This listee has to be back the same day, so if you're coming from the direction of Chicago and not staying the night and can give a sinister person a ride, let me know. The second picnic: Because some may not be able to make it this time, I was thinking of putting up the option of another picnic before winter arrives. This picnic would take place in October most likely, with the location flexible. Let me know what you all think of this. This has gone far easier than I expected, and I hope to see a gaggle of you sinister people at the picnic. Thanks have to go out to listees Amy and David for help and support in getting this together, without them this wouldn't have gone as smoothly as it has. Thanks to Kate, Molly, Shawn, and EMily and all those who expressed an interest in a picnic when I mentioned it in passing back at the beginning of summer. Thanks to all those who offered their help and emailed me before as well. So let's get this show planned kids, drop me a line and get ready for (as far as I know) the First Ever Sinister Great Lakes Picnic!!!

Sinister: return to sender
by Kirsten Kenyon 13 Aug '01

13 Aug '01

i've just spent a day rediscovering milwaukee. i have always regarded the city as something of a dud, but today i found it to be quite pretty and i wished that there were sinister folk who lived down the street so they could have sat with me in cathedral square taking solemn photos of st. john's and eating apollo's falafel watching a rugby match by the sparkling blue lake. two nights ago i was tricked and ended up at a party of sorts, and i was doing well enough cowering on the edge of the patio until a boy dressed like pooh bear found me and started asking questions. before i knew it, i was quietly entertaining a moderately-sized group of drunken teenagers and i kept trying to escape because i was very sober and didn't want to be funny. they all wanted to know about college and i'm afraid i may have scared them. an interesting group, though...among them the pooh bear and a boy strangely fascinated with garrison keillor. i stayed in the back with the boys most of the time. the girls were on the porch drinking beer and talking about sex and giggling. after a bit i was able to get away with a quiet boy who studies film and we had a nice little talk at the gas station. that's enough from me, as my mother keeps talking at me and it is intensely distracting. so if this post is crap, just blame ma kenyon. love kirsten 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: Eased my feet off in the sea-side fairground's DDR machine
by Ken Chu 13 Aug '01

13 Aug '01

Hello, Had such a fun couple of days, last Friday went down to London for some mad karaoke action, which was fun, enjoyed washing cars with Pookie and celebrating the end of the world with "Kaiser". Then on Saturday I went down to Portsmouth for my mate's 21st birthday do, which was grate fun, had a party and then went to a RAWK club called CHAOS (, man! <air guitar a la waynes world>), for some reason had the most fun time ever there. I found out why the next morning when I saw the half bottle of tequila I had was by then empty. And, as Terrorvision will tell you, tequila makes me happy. The next day my bloody alcohol level is probably still to high to drive, so had to stay in Portsmouth for the majority of the day so we went down to the seaside and they had arcade games and funfair rides there, and in there to my surprise they have a DDR machine so I showed off my mad skillz there. Outside one of the fairground places they have this big sign saying one of their attractions was "AMERICAN SIMULATOR", so of course we paid 2 quid to get on, as it sounded very exciting, but it was in fact just a rollercoaster simulator inside. They didn't play "The Rollercoaster Ride" by B&S either, not even on the East side of the simulator. So now I'm back, in sunny MK, and now I'm accused of being: 1) Not PF's favourite listee, which goes without saying surely. 2) Should be destroyed, um, yeah probably. 3) TWEE!!! Deary me. Good lord, I need a holiday. Ken P.S.: Oh great, I'm starting my new job next Monday so no holiday. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: he emerges...quietly, tamely and without causing offence
by Corduroy Boy 13 Aug '01

13 Aug '01

I haven't shown my corduroy tail for a while after I spat and hissed and glared at a certain subject, but that seems in the past now, and to those who are still sore, "I'm sorry for being so rude. I wanted to say something to that effect, but working in a you-know-what factory gives you lots of pent-up anger which can manifest itself on sinisterbites if not careful. So sorry, it won't happen again." Well, thats the apologies done and dusted. According to Jens last post, my Ribena berry should arrive any day. I'm very very excited, which just goes to show how fun my days are! Some questions, guys: This is going to make me look like this much <----------------------> of a fool, but me and a secret other sinisteree have been wondering why Struan is called Struan. To me, it's just a way of distinguishing between the two Stuarts, but where did it start? I know honey will probably smack me as this may be list abuse, but put y'selves in my situation, would you really fancy typing "Struan" into the sinister search to find out? My computer would probably crash! If you could mail me off list, cos I don't have much time at the moment and can't always read all the posts. right, next question, not so boring... Is anyone slightly worried about the Jolie thing? I really don't want to be one of these people who only likes a band that no one else really knows about and instantly dislikes them the moment they step into the light, but... (and this is going to sound 'orrible, I know): [should it happen] Will sinister be flooded with teenyboppers? Ahh! Well, thats all, I think, yeah, thats all. Tom P.S.

Sinister: The Chu MUST be destroyed!
by Peter Carter 13 Aug '01

13 Aug '01

On Chu to rule them all, one Chu to find them, One Chu to bring them all and in darkness bind them In the land of Primrose Hill where shadows lie. Friends, it is days now since the shadow of the West Coast tours fell upon our people. Whence it came we did not at first perceive. Words began to be whispered in secret, some spoke of Neil, and some of Julia, but few knew that the mighty Kenneth was gathering his numbers and now had the power to return! The words of Kenneth were at first soft, he spoke of piece, and offered us Red Bull Dozers greater even than those of old, but we knew his words were false and even without that knowledge, we would know he could not be trusted, for the Kenneth of old is also the eternal Kenneth, and his powers are dark indeed. It will not have escaped your notice that Kenneth has been courting the fell minions of S.G.F.C, but it is not only this for which we should be watchful. I have travelled far and, it seems, my worst fears were well founded. Not only have the sillistrations been corrupted, but even the crush votes of old are beginning to bend before his might. Already the likes of Honey, Carsmile Steve and Pine Fox are faltering. How long, I ask you, before Velocity Girl, JENOWL and even the great Llew herself are deposed. It is with all this in mind that I say 'The Chu MUST be destroyed', and with it his unclean presence. But it is a heavy burden. So heavy that none could lay it on another. I ask then, who will take the one Chu, the great Chu, and destroy it, ere more harm should come to the fair lands of Sinister?

Sinister: More ease than EEEBLEE
by Mark Hester 13 Aug '01

13 Aug '01

Think that's the right number of eeeeeeeees. Might not beeeeeeee. I'm going to see them, all being well, on Thursday. I remember the first time I heard them, on Peel, and I just thought "what's that" and even sent my friend Katie a series of txt msgs about them, such was my excitement. This has gotta be significant. I'm not normally in the habit of sending txt msgs whilst listening to the radio. There might be something special afterwards with a lot of Djs with names beginning with C, or not, we shall have to seeee. Then the Lollies come to Oxford as part of ladyfest. I have a soft spot for the lollies, since I met them at RoTa last year. There's a sneaking suspicion in my mind that they might bite this time, as I saw them at Strangefruit last time round and bands tend to be less than good when I see them after I've seen them at the Highbury Garage. That's what happened with the trembling blue stars at the Point, but they were supported on that occasion by the rather wonderful Tompaulin, so that was okay. Saw Ballboy a couple of weeks ago and was quite charmed by them. Anyone like Ballboy? I've been in germaneee. Hamburg first, then Munich. Lots of pretzels, wurst, bier and sauerkraut. What is this obseesion German radio stations have with 80s music? Steve Winwood and Icehouse abounded. I listened in vain for a Flock of Seagulls, but only saw some Alpine storks, instead. Well, I go away for a week and lots of people blow their stacks. Look at him implying cause and effect. Such hubris! Well, yeah, okay, I suppose it is. I'm going to give in to that itching temptation to ask people to be patient, yea, and soothingly, for I queued outside the Zodiac here in Oxford in 1997 to see b&s having found out about the gig THE DAY IT HAPPENED and DIDN'T GET IN (Ben Ferneyhough did), but I waited four years and got to see them at the rather more wonderful Royal Albert Hall. I have to be a traitor to my adoptive town and say that RAH beats Cowley Road hands down. Shall be at the Zodiac on Friday for Grandaddy tho, deee veee. Steve Kado, I want to see New Order too....not sure about the new single tho. mArk _________________________________________________________________ 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 heart is a lonely hunter
by elise j. spry 13 Aug '01

13 Aug '01

Hi all, Hope your weekends were all about doing naughty things in dirty rooms, if you're into that sort of thing. Mine was, and I am. Rob said no one mentions Carson whatever-her-name-is (I always get it wrong - McCullers?) I just picked up one of her books at the library last weekend (in between dirty rooms) cause I liked the title, and to my surprise it is really good. I have a question for everyone: I like shiny things. (who doesn't?) Would it be some sort of terrible sin if I sewed orange sequins on my ampersand shirt? Just on the big ampersand part, mind. Would I look like a 12 year old? Or some sort of ultra-glam fashionista? Have a fantastic Monday everyone, -elise __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
