Sinister: school, birthdays, love, death
by Marshall Tindall 05 Sep '01

05 Sep '01

well tomorrow i'm back at uni (slight excitement and apprehension here, clears throat) this year i get to interact with people's children as part of my teaching degree, influencing young minds (realizes this is a bit presumptuous but rubs hands and cackles anyway) i sympathize greatly with idleberry about the guitar problems, i can play a bit but never to my liking, we should jam sometime...if i didn't live in Canada. i want a picnic too, so if anyone lives near Edmonton, Alberta (even Calgary, stupid civic rivalry) let me know and we can at least meet up for a bevvy. i am so happy that B&S are playing Vancouver i wish everybody who goes a smashing time. I however, cannot go as it is the day before my sons birthday/deathday and we are going to have a one year birthday at his graveside. I miss you very much Sebastien... a bittersweet occasion worthy of a song of there ever was one but things are not all sadness, i got engaged recently to the most wonderful person in the world (even better than struan) i would invite you all to the wedding but we want it small and i would be crushed if you all didn't show up : ) If you want wish Cordelia and i luck in your hearts, thank you if you do. this post is becoming much to long so i should go the small kind moments in between the darkness must dwell in our hearts and keep the despair not at bay but in balance Marshall "the priviledge of a lifetime is being who you are" -i forget who said it but it wasn't me! _________________________________________________________________ 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: When James met Dolly.
by DansonHatcher＠aol.com 05 Sep '01

05 Sep '01

WHEN JAMES MET DOLLY Bused it to..Westview avenue,Glen Hill's,Leicester. Once at said Avenue I delved in my pocket for bunch of car key's and searched for the corresponding veihicle. "O, there you are love! What a vision of early eighty's chic you are in that rather revealing faded brown" he thought, in a daze of desire. So we're together now, the dream has become reality. and to think I nearly let this beauty pass through my life,after lust by the name of V299 678 took advantage of me last week, I'm over that old slapper now tho after finding out she'd been *done* by every lad in the village. No! What me and Dolly have is love, real love. She does still let me play with Z-car but I've noticed keeps a close eye on the both of us at all times and I'm sure is a little jealous at times of her slinky lines and racey reputation. Dolly's in her prime of life, just turned twenty one and gagging for it (driving). Christened as Triumph Dolomite, she is known to friends and family as Dolly. As I said before, I think she feel's a little bit threatend by Datsun's look's, all slim and toned but shes a lively performer and that's what matters, Right? Lovely bum, too. If you've read this FAR you're an absolute STAR. James. car running "Basil Faulty" style (START YOU VICIOUS BASTARD!! etc....) 4,Point towards home 5,Decide 21 yo Triumph Dolomite is good fun and need's *performance testing*. 6, Brake's aren't quite good enough 7, Enter corner about 40mph to quick 8,AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGG...... +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Exotic SF Picnic + 1 SF ticket for Saturday night
by Kyla Schuller 04 Sep '01

04 Sep '01

Greetings, TICKET I have 1 ticket, row G, for Saturday's SF show. Asking face value + charges, so $30. (un)lucky recipient will be able to sit next to me. PICNIC EROTICA Oops, sorry, I meant exotica. It's a good thing we're trying to plan a meet-up for strangers from out-of-state in the largest municipal park in the country. Consequently, per the Pine Fox's suggestion, all those who identify as women must come draped in brightly hued sarongs with tropical flowers perched among their locks; those who identify as men may be expected to wear their best safari khakis. Those who identify as neither or both can dress as wild game. With this small precaution, which I'm sure was the kind Pine Fox's intention all along, we shall surely stand out; a certain accomplishment in the city of San Francisco. In all seriousness, the particulars for the SF picnic exotica follow: We shall meet by Stow Lake, in the East End of Golden Gate Park, at 2:00 p.m. As the west end is the ocean, this seems a wise choice. There are many twee features of this site. It is not only the second largest lake in the city, it is adjacent to the first children's playground in America. It is also by the (free) arboreteum. Adventurous sinisterees can join me on a trek up Strawberry Hill, the island in the lake, for, naturally, the view. From this nearly 500 foot perch grand views of that bridge (fog permitting) and the skyscrapers and the park may be had. I will bring a frisbee with more than a few canine teeth marks. I'll leave the canine at home. WEATHER WARNING: SF is not California. it gets cold. sep-oct are the warmest months, and it's been hot the past 10 days, but it can be really cold and foggy. remember, layerliness is next to godliness. As for finding us: Stow Lake may be accessed by 19th Avenue at Lincoln. By MUNI, the underground subway monster, take the outbound N -Judah line from Market Street downtown, and get off at Judah and 19th. Turn right on 19th, and in two blocks you will find Lincoln. By car, take Fell Street, then take a right on Stanyan, then a left on Lincoln. Please email if you need further directions, as most seem to be from out of town. For directions on public transport, you can call MUNI at (415) 673-6864, and a real live person will kindly tell you how to get there from wherever you happen to be in the city. >From 19th and Lincoln, we will meet just beyond the junction of MLK Jr. drive and 19th. We'll be between the children's park and the lake, to the right of 19th avenue, in the grass. I'll bring some big dorky red balloons to identify us. There is a map here: http://www.sfgate.com/traveler/graphics/maps/ggpark-map_full.gif . do email with questions. my phone is 510.535.1041. i don't have one of those new-fangled transportable devices, unfortunately. i won't be checking my email saturday, but i will through friday. a lot of you are from out of the area - don't hestitate to ask me questions. apologies for the length -- kyla __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: holes / dug by little moles / angry jealous spies / got telephones for eyes
by chris perriman 04 Sep '01

04 Sep '01

today a hedgetrimmer ripped a chunk of finger from me and now i have a big triangular flap of flesh being held down by a strip of elastoplast. and it hurt. my mother's making me drink loads of sugarry tea coz i went into shock about 4 hours after it happened going 'i could have cut my finger off!, how would i play guitar!' but django rheinhardt (sp?) got by with just 2 fingers on his left hand and he was a great guitarist, just ask john peel. ----==+#+==---- major props to jeremy and sweetie for helping an internet chat virgin to get into #sinister and huge thanks to everyone in there who were so sweet and understanding as i sat there watching 4 conversations going on past my eyes for half an hour. i may check in again tonight after i've watched the kubrick documentry on bbc2. ----==+#+==---- if anybody religiously follows my posts (well some of you might!) you'll remember i talked about the market on tynemouth metro station where i picked up some great records. i went there again on sunday morning and picked up 'green onions' by Booker T & the MGs for 75p and a 'indie top 20 volume 12' LP for £1.50 which contains a great version of 'you love us' by the manics on it which must be a demo for the song coz it has loads of weird backing vocals on it then turns into Iggy's Lust for Life at the end with a comedy "check it out" from james. and backward strings at the beginning - strange. ----==+#+==---- i might be going to see New Order at the Brixton Academy in october (don't know which show yet). someone mentioned meeting to see it, was it you? erm... ----==+#+==---- ages ago i did a lyrics quiz in the subject line. Karren, sorry i never sent you the tape i promised as a prize. i did make one honest, i sort of gave it to my ex-girlfriend coz she needed tapes for her car and it was lying around. i *will* make you another, better, one and send it to you. are you still in the uk or should i send it to your canada address? ----==+#+==---- i'll leave you on a lyric as well then CarsmileSteve gets no prizes for telling me who it is later Pez* all the yuppies getting married all the yuppies getting buried singing in this city's like singing on the prarie new york city's like a cemetary - moldy peaches www.pez.com - the wonderful world of pez ;) ivorytowers.8m.com - ivory towers records www.drpez.com - Dr Pez, Spain's premier fish doctor (i think) _________________________________________________________________ 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: summer,pencil cases and trashy bilefilth...
by Desmond Torpey 04 Sep '01

04 Sep '01

hello :) ..hmmmm... the seasons changing again...its funny how the weather creeps up on you...last week i was wandering around basking in the late august warmth like autumn was just a myth...and then *thwack*...the cold air hits you in the face as you shiver in your t-shirt at the bus stop...you know its the last time you'll feel the sunshine stroking on your arms or be able to lie in parks in the evenings running your hands through the grass as the sky turns a million different colours...i am too obsessed with the weather for my own good...it affects my mood more than is surely healthy...autumn is kind of different this year though...september doesnt bring the usual dread, the usual worry,the usual misery of the prospect of another nine months in captivity...no education to go back to for the first time in 14 years..this may of course only be temporary and my foray into *the real world* may only last a year before i retreat back to the loving bosom of eternal studenthood...but i still felt a tinge of regret as i passed WH Smiths...buying a new and ever more elaborate pencil case and rulers for the new term was probabaly about the only enjoyable thing about the whole affair..but your mind plays tricks and you find yourself missing things you never thought you would miss in a thousand years...its perhaps the easy life that i miss...exams and actually working for money were miles away from my mind ten years ago...so why, against my better judgment, am i actually missing the concept of school? perhaps thats just it...i'm missing the 'concept' of something rather than what it actually was...i've made it into something that it never was in the first place..all through their lives people are always looking to the past and regretting what they didnt do or what they've missed or how dearly they would love to go back and do it all again...and i never wanted to think like that...because you should be able to look back and think 'i had a bloody great time'...or if you're really lucky you never look back at all and just live your life at breakneck speed, never having time to reflect that second too long and bring yourself down...but then sometimes reflection is necessary to keep yourself sane..if you didnt take time to reflect on what you've done and what you've acheived then whats the point of doing it in the first place?..i guess nobody is ever truly happy with their past otherwise they wouldnt bother sticking around for today...where was i?...argh...live for today? perhaps...or maybe live for tommorow..tommorow never comes so you wont be dissapointed...oh wow i'm really lost now...my brain has just been mangled by selling danielle steel books all day...if i ever saw that woman in the street i think i would beat her over the head with one of her own appalling trashy mass produced bilefilth novels until her eyes popped out...work may have turned me into a pyschopath too...umm...i've talked rubbish for far too long... ta ta.. PS : everyone go and buy the reindeer section album...despite reviews to the contrary and the general dodgyness of collaborative affairs like this its absoloutly woooonderful :) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: wanted: someone with guitar knowledge
by idleberry 04 Sep '01

04 Sep '01

hey you lot, I need help. I've been playing my guitar, but I'm not very good at it. No really, I'm not. And whenever I tell my guitar playing friends about it, they give me the same piece of golden advice: Learn to play your favourite song. Well, you know, I try. But I'm not very good at it, so I end up making up my own wee ditties, cos I get so frustrated. Time and time again, they sit there, and then if I'm telling them about my frustrations, they draw closer to me, as if they're about to tell me this wonderful undiscovered secret of guitar playing that nobody has ever told me before. And every time, I get vaguely excited, hoping that they are going to tell me something new. But they don't. They tell me the golden advice. So I try. how I try. But I really only end up making a total hatchet job of any song thats ever been composed. Seriously, I'm not kidding. I can make Isobel Campbell into a frankenstein elvis monster. You think I'm exagerating? nope. Family tree has the same tabs as Amazing Grace. Its a recipe for disaster. My boyfriend and I had a quarrel regarding this a wee while ago. He asked in the end, if I thought anybody found it easy to learn to play guitar. Of course they didn't. But in the light of things at the time, I wasn't going to admit to it, cos I was feeling extremely upset and unhappy about the whole situation, and was really considering selling my guitars, which broke my heart to think about. Plus, I was in a sulk, and I hate admitting anyone else is right, if I'm in a sulk. And sometimes I get really disheartened about the whole thing. It frustrates the hell out of me. Especially when I realise that I'm making Family Tree sound like Leavin' On a Jet Plane (also has similar tabs. Or is it Blowin' in the wind? Oh, I dunno- I play them all the same anyway. And I don't know how not to.) So what do I want? Well, someone to actually teach me properly would be a start. Someone to teach me who lives in the Glasgow/ Edinburgh area. Face to face. And I'll see about coughing up* some cash for your time/ energy/ patience/ as a bribe to stop you bitching about me to everyone on sinister. (*my lungs are like the royal mint. Every time I get flu ten pound notes come flying out my wind pipes. Thats not true. But its such a silly phrase I think.) Someone who has the patience of a saint and knows their way around a fretboard and whatnot. Someone who likes a challenge. I was thinking earlier in the year about getting lessons when I came back to Scotland, but you know,I think its important to meet someone who'll teach me and who is nice and someone I can trust to be gentle with me. Anyway, I'd really appreciate it if anyone thinks they can help me. And please, save the speil about "learn how to play your favourite songs". Cos thats the bit I'm having trouble with. Ha! I'm stumbling with the easy bit! ***************************************************** FOR THE HARDCORE SINISTERIANS you know that www.another.com have the e mail domains of most of the B+S crew? so you can get ilovestewart.co.uk Unfortunately, no Ilovehoney.co.uk, ilovekenchu.co.uk, ilovemick.co.uk or iloveisobel.co.uk i wasn't looking to find one for me.. honest to god. I was actually browisng for isolation.co.uk... yeah yeah, you believe me... bet you wore bros t shirts when you were little. okay, enough from me for the second time today, love idles *waiting for your call* *still waiting...* *drums her fingers while she waits* *takes up knitting* *realises idles needs knitting lessons* *says "to hell with it" and settles for watching Cartoon Network instead.* ===== http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/corduroysmoke and the world did get covered in a thick haze of corduroy smoke.

Sinister: Jenowl in list abuse shocker
by JENOWL22＠aol.com 04 Sep '01

Hewwo, The Lovely Ian Hatcher asked me to post and say that he REALLY really wants to go to the LA concert (of B&S) but he's in LA just now on holibyes, so doesn't have e mail acess. So if anyone has a spare ticket he can buy off them and pick up either beforehand or on the night he would be grateful. So go on, be nice and don't sell it on ebay for millions of pounds. I don't know how much he'd pay but i think more than the ticket price anyways. Sorry about list abuse. I won't do it again. Sorry.

Hello there Just out of the nursery thing and so I thought i d say, "hello".

Sinister: it could have been a brilliant career
by lindsey baker 04 Sep '01

04 Sep '01

a fellow sinisteree told me once to write to sinister when i didn't feel like it. so here i am. no promises for my usual greatness. sometimes, like today, i wish i didn't have a face everyone would recognize. but i don't know if that means i wish i was bland or plain or just another (albeit gorgeous) girl walking around wearing a shirt featuring dancing teeth. no. i think i'd like to be tall and/or mysterious. a model who's clearly not a model and clearly not interested in anyone at all. but alas. i'll get to class and take out my pink pen that says 'lindsey' and everyone will know who i am and that's the end of that. it's quiet in the newsroom today. and if i could hang on to that quiet, i might make it nicely through the day. picnics. i must mention something about picnics. is it too soon to have another american heartland shindig? something in the nebraska/kansas/missouri region? or perhaps there was one and i missed the boat. i just simply feel all kinds of left out. ok. no more whining. and with nothing else to say, really, i think i'll turn my face away. lindsey lou _______________________________________________________ Send a cool gift with your E-Card http://www.bluemountain.com/giftcenter/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
