Sinister: first post
by Rachael 02 Sep '01

02 Sep '01

hello there. well this is my first post, and i must admit, im quite nervous. ive been out of the nursery since about january, but ive enjoyed just reading all your messages, and haven't felt the need to say anything. sinister has become quite special to me, as i recieve the daily digest, and its something nice to come home to after work, or read when stressed. anyway, i suppose i should introduce myself. im rachael, almost 19, from melbourne, australia. (i'm moving to manchester in november, though) we often have belle and sebastian nights at a club in the city, but i never go as i don't want to go alone. i discovered the band about 3 years ago, i remember what attracted me to them first was that they shared my dog's namesake. i named my dog Belle when i was 6. i was obsessed with the Belle and Sebastian cartoon that was on in the morning before school. anyway, i think that's enough for now. just one thing i'd like to add - i love writing letters, and if anyone would like to become penpals, please email me offlist. thankyou. love rachael xxxx ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: hello hello i don't know why you say goodbye i say hello
by lindsey baker 02 Sep '01

02 Sep '01

tonight the world showed itself to me and i couldn't bear to look at it with both eyes open. so i made wishes instead. the day started out fine enough. i made sure all the lights in my apartment, or flat, of you will, were turned off and i came home. home home with my parents. for the holiday weekend. the afternoon was fine. shopping. worth skipping description. today also happened to be my friend tara's 25th birthday. so i went out with her tonight. and that's the story i'll tell. we went to a dinner theater, where you eat a pre-ordered meal of dry, sagey chicken and watch local actors cavort around. we saw pirates of penzance. before the show, tara, like a lot of sinisterites (myself included), was telling me how lonely she is. (is this topic over? well. maybe. so just skip to ken's latest if you're tired. i would.) anyway, tara telling me how now that she's 25 and still a virgin she doesn't want to be that anymore. how she wants to be 'found' so she can be a pair instead of one. how she's called this 20-year-old pot-smoking maintenance boy several to ten times in the last few days for a date. what should she do? should she settle? etc. etc. and i, being the girl i am, told her what girls like me should say in that sort of situation. love yourself. don't settle for anything less than yourself. don't sleep with someone just to do the deed and later try to make it mean something it never will. i always end up being the love confidant. and the first wish i made was to be the love confider. after the show we stopped at a coffee shop (after i dissuaded tara from driving by pot-smoker's house for a look-see). her sister called and while they were chatting i read some sinister posts at a web table and blew bubbles with my chewing gum. and i wished i could be going to a picnic. (maybe this sentence can count for content. go b&s.) tara got off the phone and again started up the alone vs. not alone convo. and then just drifted off. so we sat there looking at each other in an icky silence i could no longer fill with trite advice or a false but most likely true sense of sympathetic comradeship. and when i got in my car to go home and took my handicapped parking permit off the rearview mirror and waited for a homeless woman to cross the street, i wished tara could see just how big and how good she is all on her own. without a boy or me or anyone else. and then i wished the same for myself. because of that homeless woman in the street. because of my editor who is waiting for the test results on the lump she found in her breast to come back. because of me and the fact that i may very well one day, after all the coating on my nerves has deteriorated, become so crippled i'll know what life looks like from a sitting position. because of all the people fighting fights they'll never win, and shouldn't have to fight in the first place. and i drove and the sigur ros in the cd player crescendoed. and then i couldn't see the road any more. because i was crying. because something so beautiful as that music or tara's heart or my life should have to be poked and prodded and measured by increments of sound and sight and smell and taste and touch. that we feel compelled to mold our lives into something we wish they could be, instead of what they really are. i once wrote to will salt about a skirt of mine. a black skirt with a row of pleats at the bottom. and i told him how the pleats ripple as i walk, and how i love the heavy flowing feeling of the circle around my knees. and how life should be like the circle of pleats. neatly pressed overlapping moments that make a really lovely ripple, i think i said. so tonight i wish i knew how to fit yesterday and today and tonight and tomorrow into my ripple of pleats. i wish i wish i wish i wish i i think i can, i think i can, they tell you to say. i think i left my skirt in my apartment. thanks for reading my diatribes. lindsey _______________________________________________________ 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.

Sinister: Waiting for the spoon to rise
by Ken Chu 02 Sep '01

02 Sep '01

Hello, Things have been fun recently, I have finally gotten a bit of band practice type thing together and it was much much fun, even if my mum is downstairs making things slightly embarrassing. I had a job, then a phone call from the Job Agency later I lost the job before I started it, which was nice, but the job agency found me another job instead, so hopefully I will actually start working on Monday, and heaven knows I'm not that miserable at the moment.. (I think the lyrics went something like that) Yes I watched the England vs Germany football game too, well done Hong Kong! You've remained undefeated once again! :-) Watching a football match supporting a totally uninvolved team is fun. What else happened in my life, um not much. I don't really know what I want to write about. When I started typing I was going to type a post about giving my girl hot loving, but then I remembered that I'm single, ho hum. :-( Um.. except that.. tree, of course, that I .. shagged.. um..no.. wait, that wasn't me! Despite you catching me on camera, and seeing the marks on my shoulder, and hearing the noises getting louder, etc. It wasn't me! Damn attractive guy tho http://robster75.tripod.com/redpant4.jpg Oh yes, and Dr Jenni Quincy herself.. um I'll pay for the lifetime supply of Red Bull that young Pika consumes then..

Sinister: she's trying to flag down an aeroplane
by Rachel Playforth 02 Sep '01

02 Sep '01

i no longer trust technology. not only does it allow the likes of robin and big stu to portray me as a transexual femme (or homme) fatale, but it has also stopped me receving email from one account since june. and i only realised on thursday. so if anyone has tried to mail me at archel(a)iname.com or has sent anything to buzzwords and got no response, that's why. it's working again now though. though not feeling creative enough myself to take part, i reckon that the case of the runaway thread is the best thing to happen to sinister since... well, since astrid. who is a star. there's something indescribably endearing about a 15-year-old swede posting expressions such as 'sod it'. tigermilking was fab last week, though at the same time reminiscent of apocalypse now due to the sweltering temperature, crazed mutterings and dark shapes moving ominously across the sweaty trotwood. my friend nicola seems undamaged (so far) by her first sinister experience, and we received 5-star hospitality at greenwich's most exclusive building site - thanks guys :) in other news, i'm off to croatia in a couple of weeks to get some sunshine (although after working in a language school for 6 months i'm not sure i can cope with any more strange foreign ways) but before i go i should have time to do some long-overdue work on buzzwords, so if anyone has any new poems, stories or reviews, get them in to me now on buzzwords(a)bigfoot.com. and now let us have a moment's silence for robin stout and owen lowery. their sins were scarlet but their posts were read. luv archel xxx *************************************** 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.

Sinister: Michael Owen is a god
by Sam Walton 01 Sep '01

01 Sep '01

Compare this subject line with a post of mine from May this year: http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/200105/msg00135.html Hello, by the way Please indulge me, if you will, for a few lines. Tonight I was witness to an event I will remember for the rest of my life. Some people ask "Where were you when JFK was shot/Diana died?", but I have a suspicion that many English boys and girls of our generation will ask "Where were you when ENGLAND BEAT GERMANY 5-1 IN MUNICH?", and I will remember every glorious minute* for a long time to come. I decided earlier on not to post about this, because it's a bit, well, **off-topic**, but heck, I just have. And it does have a link to B&S, since both football and B&S have an inexplicable way of making me ridiculously happy, given the right siutation of course. A joyous event it was, without a doubt. Not being one, however, to submit a single-issue post, I'll now quote/refer: Somebody was posting about their addiction to girls named Kate, and I smiled wryly, for I have the same addiction, and assumed that it was just a coincidence. My Kate thing extends to people called Catherine too. I think I've had **obsessions** with five of them, goddammit. It's scary, I tell you. To make it sound less scary though I've thought of a friendlier word than 'obsession'. See, a friend of mine was reading an Edgar Alan Poe short story about a guy was described as having 'monomania' - intense fixations about one particular thing. You get the picture. It sounds like a medical condition, which allows me to abdicate responsibility slightly, I suppose. Is it possible to have lots of concurrent monomanias? Or d'you think that's polymania? Hmmm... Rob's photos of the London picnic were lovely. I do love a well-taken monotone picture. The other pictures of his on his site are nice too. They're better than the ones that I took of B&S and Jarvis at Benicassim. Peter Carter's airport exploits sound terribly exciting. Personally, I think it was something to do with the boy Carter himself. No one with a haircut **that rebellious** could expect to be anonymous to the mob, surely. Then again, Chu's haircut was similar, and he's thought to **run** the mob. The mind boggles... The new Bjork record is strange. I'm slowly getting into it. I 'get' about half of it at the moment. The new Mercury Rev, however, is totally gorgeous. If it had a form (other than a small silvery disc/large black disc, duh) it would be a huge, incredibly soft cushion which you could just sink into and embrace, apart from a couple of tracks which would just be big dark brooding forests. I think that's about it. To the supporters of whoever's playing Liverpool on Saturday: love and pity, To the rest of you: just plain love (ain't that enough?), Asm.x P.S. MIGMK is being strangely silent over my list of 90s songwriters. Why could this be? *which obviously doesn't include the first six, where we played like a pub side. ================= "Shut up!

Sinister: I know we've been as far apart as this before, but take a look at what we've got to get through
by Peter Carter 01 Sep '01

01 Sep '01

I toyed with writing this post in several orders, but finally decided that cronological was all that the first year of my degree level creative writing course would allow me. As such, this story is probably a little muddled (to say the least).; So, those of you at the picnic will notice that I had thewonderouskara* in England over the last week. Much fun was had during that time, but on Friday she had to leave. One Thursday night she cried, and before long I was crying too. On Friday morning she cried a lot, and our train journey was punctuated by crying, kissing and rapton/t-rex impressions. We got to Gatwick, after about 6 hours journey (I live in't north), and I finally left her balling her eyes out as she went through the departures gate. 5 minutes later I realised I still had her hand luggage. I went to reception, they put a call out for Kara and, after much waiting round, they asked me to go to the US Airways ticket desk, so that someone could take the bag to her. The guy at the desk said "Are you the guy with his wife's luggage?", to which I replied "Girlfriend, yes", but I found the assumption a little confusing, only being 19. While I was waiting to hand the bag over, I heard a rather odd conversation coming from three people behind me. The notable bits went something like this... "I think we should move over there" "No, we're behind a screen, they can't see us" "Why don't we just move in now?" "No just hold on. If they go through Departures we'll follow them there anyway." "Can you see what flight they're getting on?" "[Something incomprehensible, but sounding questioning]" "I can't see if they've checked their bags in... I think they're moving now *short pause, then walk off*" I tried to make sure I was out of the line of fire on that one, but it wasn't easy without looking suspicious. After that little drama, a guy came and took away Kara's bag, and I left the airport for home. On the train home, I recieved a phonecall from Kara saying the plane had been cancelled and asked me what to do. I wasn't entirely sure on the best course of action, so I told her she could probably get a train back up to my house if she wanted, though it'd be a long journey. I then phoned my parents and asked them what Kara should do, and they said she'd have to get a hotel for the night and take the plane in the morning. I told Kara this, but she wasn't happy, so I told her I didn't really know what she should do, and she should really phone my mother and sort it out with her. Apon hearing Kara's sobs, my mum couldn't help but tell Kara to get on the next train. My mum then told me to wait at Preston station (the first station stop to get to my house) for Kara. I arrived in Preston at 7 p.m., and after an hour and a half of waiting at Preston station, it was announced that the lights were no longer functioning and they would have to close the station. It was about an hour in the freezing cold before they got the lights back on. I waited until 11.30 p.m., calling my parents on reverse charges and annoying them every half and hour or so, asking when Kara would likely arrive and so forth. At 11.50, the last train roled in, and Kara wasn't on it. I panicked and rang my parents, who said they would ring the transport police. I turned around, and, emerging from an unannounced train, from a platform that a guy on the station had closed for the night, came Kara, weilding her incredibly heavy bags, with a quizical look on her face, and prettier than I think I've ever seen her before. I ran towards her and, when I got to her, nearly crushed her. We got a taxi home for £30 and that night I feel asleep on the sofa, before being moved to my bed. This morning I saw her off at Manchester Airport (her dad got the tickets changed she she wouldn't have to travel all the way to Gatwick again) and it felt strange, like she'd already gone before, but now I was saying goodbye to someone else. I got home and looked in my room to find all her stuff had gone from my floor, and I felt pretty lost. I looked for the Zebra I have to remind me of her (we both bought each other a toy zebra, mine is called Zebediah, and Kara's in Zelda), but I can't find them, I'm going to turn the house upside down in a second... I think maybe Kara packed it by accident... Apologies if there are errors in this, I'm pretty tired at the moment. "If I were broke, I would rather spend money on my appearance than on food" - Sherron Mayes www.bondynet.demon.co.uk/eurosexuals Peter p.s. Hello to everyone at the picnic, I had a fantanstic time, despite nearly dying after the football match. Very hello to everyone I met there, and to everyone I was re-united with. Very very hello to Sir Kenneth of Chu for agreeing to adopt Kara, all we need now is a twee chaplain to marry us in the eyes of Sinister and she's sorted for living in Inkland. p.p.s.

Sinister: it is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a large fortune must be in want of a wife. duh.
by Richard Gillanders 01 Sep '01

01 Sep '01

I don't half enjoy the P F posts. it's more than a half. I think my enjoyment is rooted in the fact that I don't understand half of them. it's less than a half. before. I've thought about knowing who [some of] the people are that get referred to and what they think. then I think that I might enjoy the reading less if I did. so I'm glad I don't. oh. but maybe I'd enjoy the reading more if I did. know. hm. still: fun. I destroyed one of those personal organisers at a party last night. an electronic one. I've never been organised. personally. or electronically. and I said something else too. there was a reason for the destruction. I don't doubt. but I was too scared to ask. I got kinda drunk. I think I might have acted in a funny way. I got back to my brother's flat and he said I was trying to explain things and I dropped my irn-bru and I kept not finishing sentences. even though I had started. them. and I demanded to see 'the big lebowski'. and this morning. I had no hangover. and sat in traffic for an hour. singing. and remembering talking about a lyric that said 'holland-dozier-holland'. I wish I could know what I'm like when I'm drunk. I don't think recording myself being drunk is a good idea. though. I think I might be a bit scary. because that's what happens. isn't it? but I had fun. even if I acted silly. and maybe I didn't really act silly. but I was really drunk. they said my wine was oaky. I didn't think it was bad either. I had some fun stories to tell you about fun. not real fun. but. I left it too long and I forgot. I told some people. though. so. there were even bits that related to belle and sebastian. hm. here comes some sort of attention grabbing heading. _________________________________________ E D I N B U R G H P I C N I C - update. _________________________________________ I'm updating. even though 'rouss' gordon just posted about it. I had talked to people. and I've talked to gordon. and we're reconsidering. I think we're going to remove the bowling and replace it with somewhere where there's grass. whrwhrthr. so. the only risk, of course, is of rain. some said 'holyrood park'. and I think that's fine. as long as we have a place that's near a place where there's shelter of sorts. and then a pub on the high street. and if it's raining when we arrive. well. we can go to a big pub on rose street. I can phone ahead and ask if we'd be allowed to eat our picnic stuffs there. they might let us. gordon also suggested that a shift might work. if we just shifted the whole thing to kelvingrove park. it really doesn't matter to me. it really doesn't matter at all. because. of where I am. but some people might not be happy. and some people might be happier. maybe those people. or you people. should mail me. or mail gordon. and state yer preferred VENUE. or something. will suggested I should take over. he was eating a bounty. and we decided that mutiny is no good. so I chatted to gordon. and he wanted me to take over. the organising. but I smashed up my personal organiser last night. I'm no kind of organiser. it's up in the air. what's the date? okay. so it's supposed to be two weeks today. give me some of the feedback and we'll sort it all out. thanks. it is the fifteenth. enough, richard. ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: glasgow, etc
by Andrea Kittenmouse 01 Sep '01

01 Sep '01

Hi Everyone, I hardly ever post, and actually, I hate to admit it, but I haven't really been reading much lately. Everything is turning out serendipitously (sp?) really. I'm leaving for Scotland in 3 weeks exactly, and my one of my favorite bands is playing just a week before I leave. (Yes I'm talking about Belle and Sebastian.) Yay! I also got to see two other of my favorite bands this summer, radiohead, and what used to be cap'n jazz, and is now called owls. Their new album is amazing. I think for the next two weeks, I'm going to see how few times I can mention in conversation that I'm going to Scotland. It's really hard, because every time I see someone I know, like at work or school, they invariable say "hey, what's up?" and what am I supposed to say? That I'm not packing my stuff to leave this stinky town (and country) for a couple months? Portland is such a drag lately anyway. It's so small that the local alt weekly paper can't find anything better to write about than a bunch of alcoholics who hold weekly soapbox derby races in a local park. How boring. This is when I start thinking it might be productive to have a major league sports team in Portland so they would have something to do other than sit in their basements together, getting drunk and gnawing on beef jerky. Enough cynical b.s. I'm leaving the country! As Truman Capote would have said "I'm beside myself!"

Sinister: feeling good.
by Astrid Wiezell 01 Sep '01

01 Sep '01

Hi there! I´ve had the BEST day! Loads of sweet boys have been flirting with me when I was out walking the streets of Stockholm, I felt really pretty, hee hee. I´ve taken a poster from a wall as well. It´s text says "Matti is a real artist!". It´s dead weird but It´s gorgeous. I bought my first vinyl 7" today, it was by a group called Florian. They were supposed to sound a bit like belle and sebastian. My ass they did! They were not good at all. Oh, but it was cheap. I bought a fanzine as well. A number of "Country Living" for my mum for her borithday, and a Calvin & Hobbes-album for my big sister Hedvig who loves them. I was feeling really down last night, cause I miss Tom a lot, but then, he´ll be home soon,and his postcard was dead sweet. At one of the big place´s in Stockholm there was really really old people dancing squaredance today! It was so funny, they were really sweet. It´s cloudy right now, but It´s just cosy. Another excuse for staying in. I´m no big fan of being outdoors, I admit that. Since I´ve got nothing more to write.. luv to you all, Astrid xxx _________________________________________s_p_r_a_y_ Här börjar Internet!
