Sinister: you adjust your specs & read about "GOING WEST"
by Amy Bancroft 02 Aug '01

02 Aug '01

hey, It seems everyone is in a tizzy figuring out how to get to the westcoast to attend one or more concerts. Im offering a solution. I am still looking for travel companions on my road trip to the westcoast. Thus far, the dates havent geehawed with peoples schedules, so most are flying out and going to one or two shows. Which I understand, what with fall semesters starting and the rest of us with jobs and (ugh) responsibilities. And I dont expect everyone to quit their job and pack their bags. (Ive personally wanted to quit for awhile) But still. I havent looked at a map yet, so I have no route in mind (hope this isnt scaring everyone away). Which means - if youre a bit off the beaten path, thats okay. Here are the shows I have tickets for: 1) san francisco on the 8th 2) portland 3) vancouver (well, no tix yet) 4) seattle So the whole trip will probably take 10 14 days. depending on the route, enjoying the sites and such, etc But if no one decides they can come with, Ill just dress my car up all sinistRish and meet up with everyone whose flying (and those of you from the west too) once I get there. But youd be missing out on a lot of fun. This is going to be low budget. So I can guarantee you at least a few pb and jelly sandwiches for your in-drive meals. A kind soul was offering to put up persons at their place near SF, if anyone else wants to offer a floor Id appreciate it very, very much. SF is one place where I already have that issue taken care of. And I suppose after going west I should head back east, but that may be too much, I think : ) <As a means of distraction for those of us bound to the Atlantic I propose "The East Coast Sinister Belle & Sebastian Cover Band." We can play churches picnics and private bedrooms> Anyhow - hope that works out My apartment is about 100 degrees, so minimalism or lack of sleepware is of most importance. I either just made that totally incomprehensible or....I don't know, but using the word naked, would sort of ruined the innocent tone of the post. oh well. When I first joined the list, I thought how anonymously great. But now I know a few of you, and then an old neighbor pops up. What next? But, you know, its even better when its not anonymous. Hoping to get flooded with emails about the trip, amy b. ???HEY, WHAT ABOUT THE GREAT LAKES PICNIC??? -- +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Hello.
by Brandon 02 Aug '01

02 Aug '01

My name is Brandon, and this is my first post. How are you all doing? As a native of San francisco, may I offer the following suggestions to those who are planning to frolic in the best city the US has to offer? * there is little to no public transportation to or from any of the area airports to SF. be forewarned. * The Warfield is not in the best neighborhood but is not too bad either. * Any picnics to be held should occur in Golden Gate park, for the following reasons: - It is the most beautiful park I have ever seen - It is near the best record store I have ever seen (Amoeba Music) which is located in the tip of the legendary Haight-Ashbury district into which you may want to descend - It is located near the N-Judah MUNI line, by which the Warfield may also be accessed. It runs from the beach down to the ferry Building downtown, so is a good and simply artery traverser. I don't normally sound like this (or type either) but it was fun. :) feel free to email me for any further questions/hints or whatever. I'm excited - I'm sure you all are too!

Sinister: poor jonny greenwood can't see
by Kirsten Kenyon 02 Aug '01

02 Aug '01

funny that Jonny should mention Jonny Greenwood's mop of hair...that was part of the reason for yesterday's drastic haircut (which, i might add, went off without a hitch or a nick and was not entirely terrifying.) i was worried that i was beginning to look like Mr. Greenwood with all of that black hair falling in my face, and he's an attractive enough fellow but he would make a hideous girl. there was only one frightening moment during my haircut, during which the girl cutting my hair put all sorts of sticky stuff in it and made it stand straight up. i felt i was going to spend the afternoon crying because i had morphed from Jonny Greenwood into Sid Vicious in less than half an hour. however, i was able to brush most of the goo out of my do and the end result was very nice. on an entirely different note, does anyone in ireland know a boy they call twink? i think he is on this list and i can't find him anywhere. okay everybody rock out. luv 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: Going back to the girl who made me smile
by the narrow wizard 02 Aug '01

02 Aug '01

hello Im a happy wizard mainly cos i had a good day on monday went to see ben and jason play in a strange tea room in Glasgow and they were real good so it didnt matter that i was being ignored by the sinistrines i was with (they had other things on their minds i think) but even more importantly bought a Pooh Sticks record that ive been after for ages and ages so ive spent the rest of the week dancing about and singing any band who do songs called "Indiepop aint noise pollution" and write "Stephen Pastel: will you sleep with me?" on record covers must be worshipped (though as far as sleeping with members of the pastels is concerned i'd prefer the drummer Katrina) Random lyric quote if love's the answer don't I need a question too no heart can tie what the fates undo oh ive just thought there was recent list talk about fear of sleeping naked if any of the women suffering this problem want to get in touch I'll give a private lesson in how to sleep naked love and nakedness owen with that the narrow wizard waggled his bushy eyebrows and disappeared in a flash of blue flame leaving behind just a faint smell of sin (sorry that should read cinnamon) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Reading, rioting and asthmatic
by Hewitt, Stephen 02 Aug '01

02 Aug '01

ello babies It appears that sini-reading has bitten the dust over at yahoogroups, so I was wondering who was going to the Reading festival this year. Me and Mrs Carsmile are going on the Friday as it features most of our fave bands (me: moldy peaches, arab strap, her: strokes, king adora, peej), twould be nice to meet up with people, if for no other reason than so i have someone to talk to when strokes/KA are on :) Pez said: somebody mentioned that they didn't want to meet the man because he's (sini)famous, well i've never met *any* sinistreens yet and what better way to start than right at the top (or near the top, he's not quite llaura llew or ken chu now is he?) and i cringed in embarrassment. really i don't know what else to say about this... but anyway if anyone else is in or around newcastle on the 18th COME TO THE PUB!! Nick said: trousers was unanimously elected King of the Prom and i've got a picture of him wearing his crown!!! who is this trousers person? i shall have to ask my editor... York was nice, there is a pub called "Ye Olde Starre Inn", although i didn't drink a shandy in it. oh and YAY Geneveive is coming to see us!!! I await the benicassim reviews with baited breath... xoxo Friendly Neighbourhood CarsmileSteve +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: it's magic, silly!
by little squirrels & dandelions dance around the park 02 Aug '01

02 Aug '01

Dear Sinister, it's raining today.. i bet its raining everywhere in scotland just now. we've got this continual drizzle, like a nozzle being opened full, and letting its droplets sprinkle everwhere it wants. which is lovely & ticklish, but everywhere's just soaking now. the rain's made this funny pattern on the loch though.. the loch itself is coloured in a navy blue, and has this darker blue comouflagey thing coating it, decorated by the drizzle. it's lovely. we got new furniture for the sitting room a few days ago, when it wasn't raining. there's this fantastic reclining chair, whose back doesn't give away unless you put a cetain amount of pressure on it in a certain spot, which is good for not getting a big fright when you lean back.. the sofas are placed around the walls of the room, which leaves this massive space in the centre, so i can round around in circles with my arm held out, pretending to ice skate. but then there had to be a coffee table.. poo. there's even more trouble with the sheepies.. the farmers can't sell them to anyone, and they can't afford to keep them much longer than the end of the summer.. baaa um, i thnk i should go take care johnjohn x p.s. i'm going to be in glasgow next week sometime, and am likely to be lonely & scared.. if anyone's willing to adopt me for the day, i'll send hugs & love & nicites.. and if someone does want to, i'll buy them something gorgeous.. _________________________________________________________________ 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.
