Hello All. Very well said John, and lovely subject line, by the way. I happen to have a swell picture of this sinister looking cat wearing a t-shirt that says the same thing. How bizarre is that? Kudos to everyone who made it to the picnic. And everyone who *made* the picnic. Kayla, that pasta salad was a thing of beauty, and the sinister cake. . . well I've got a fine picture of that masterpiece somewhere, if I do say so myself. One of these days I'll actually hook up my scanner and get those pics posted in a conspicuous place, for all those who care to witness the glory of the San Francisco Sini-Picnic. It was glorious, and good to meet you all. Even, and especially, the lovely non-sinister Christina who's brilliance shone through when she suggested we eat the sini-cake to A Century of Fakers. Never has a cake had a finer, more apt, musical accompaniment. Though I've not posted on the subject, I do want to say, now that the strange fog of shock has lifted, that Sinister has been a remarkable place in the past few weeks. Not that it wasn't remarkable prior to the WTC crap, but, so rarely do you find solace when it's truly needed, and I have to say, we're one hell of a mailing list. I do have a strange and abiding love for you all. A heartfelt *thanks*, followed by a sigh. Cornflake Girl - woman! You did well! I wish I had a picture of you onstage, you lucky girl. Alas, I don't. Good work nonetheless. The shows were brilliant, of course. Absolutely. I won't go on about it. But, I'm very very happy. Well. Back to studying. Just a little missive to the masses. And John, I can't remember that book you suggested, something about . . . well, I can't remember, can I? It was right after Foucault. If you can remember, let me know offlist. Much Sini-Love, S. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: my head is my only house unless it rains
by Richard Gillanders 25 Sep '01

25 Sep '01

'clear spot' ain't so bad. I prefer the don van vliet yin. to the pernice brothers yin. or even the stacey shackleford yin. I thought about things that had been. a few days ago. I did the thinking. the things had been. a while before that. I knew the lights didn't always have to be off. and in the end they weren't. but it was the end. and I had to leave. now. there was more socialising. I'm not quite used to it yet. but I might be getting better. sometimes I have nothing to say. I appear rude. no doubt. talking briefly about odysseus' home. an island that could be reached by foot. and men at work. both varieties. there are only two? but in different rooms. with 'when I'm 64' on the way. among others. and getting home at quarter to three. it was a coincidence. but there was no coincidence. of the line and the getting. it had passed and I think I heard jim o'rourke as I pulled into the driveway. it isn't any good if you feel bad because someone annoys you. like you feel bad because you got annoyed. the song 'here come the warm jets' makes me want some ice cream. there must be an explanation. I actually know the reason. and I don't think it makes me silly. I foundandfinished 'the third policeman' and enjoyed it very much. there's the 'golden hours' connection to brian eno. and it seems like brian stole a phrase from one of the one-legged men for that one. 'blank frank'. a man with a wooden leg named finnucane. dick van dyke would probably have something to say about that. I'll take better care with my modifier placements. or maybe I won't. I confuse myself. I've been enjoying 'diagnosis murder' recently. why? life without buildings again. tomorrow. even if it isn't really feasible. better than life without talent. and we all know what equals that. or I do. at any rate. last week there was tracer beforehand. I don't know how. someone said. 'they're from belfast.'. and it put a whole new perspective on it. I forget just how. just now. the last song lasted longer than the lot they played before it lumped together. ludicrous. before them there was a lady [on closer inspection] with a personal computer trying to redo the 'williams mix'. or something else. that doesn't really sound like the 'williams mix'. and sounds more like the aphex twin. on further reflection I quite enjoyed her. show. I'm all for making sense. don't stop. it. richard. ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: On the subject of Brian Wilsons poo and the strokes.
by Tim Banning 25 Sep '01

25 Sep '01

Hello, first off, I cried with laughter when I read the story about cleaning brian wilson's poop. I printed it and imidiatley read it to my family who loved it as well. Then on the subject of The Strokes....well, my friend, has been telling me how great the band White Stripes is. Well on the other hand, I've been getting emails from you all on how great (or not) The Strokes are. Somehow in my wierd little head, I got White Stripes and the Strokes confused. So yesterday when I go over to my friends house to watch "state and main" I ask him about if he has The Strokes. He just looks at me like i'm crazy. "what?" "The Strokes, you were talking about them yest- oh shit, you were talking about White Stripes..." boy did I feel weird. Then I asked him about the Webb Brothers and everything was cool. But I'm glad I didn't go out and buy the strokes thinking it was white stripes. shit. this is weird. Hey, have you all checked out www.zoetrope.com. Every one of you should. just look at it and see. well, thats all for now, take care. tim _________________________________________________________________ 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: Feminist Chicks Dig Me
by Wojcik, John 25 Sep '01

I'd like to thank everyone for a good time in San Francisco. It was really nice to meet all those gentle people all in one place. The picnic ruled. I prolly shouldn't have worn my doc martens. Too hard to run to get a dog bitten frisbee. Shout outs go out to - Bill for letting me know and taking me to the second show. I'd like to thank Kayla for the ticket, and the picnic. The person who brought the sinister cake. Not for how it tasted, but for how fertile the subject was to exercise wit. Economist conversations over orange frappes and coffee. Renee Foucalt It was the last time I felt normal since I was at the airport, September 11th. I checked in for my 8am flight and the woman behind the counter was talking about a fire at the Pentagon. I got on the internet and my friends were talking about lower Manhattan being gone. The airport bar was the only place with a TV, so I did the only sensible thing, sat down and ordered a Guiness. I'm back now, in New York. The trip back brought me through Yosemite, Tonopah, NV and Salt Lake City and towns with a population of 164. Clear air and desert mountains that are actually farther away than they appear. I bought twine beaded jewelry from a punk chick who wants to be a deisel mechanic. I heard stories about the blood feud between the Cambells and the McDonalds from a real live Scotsman, kilt and all, with the similar problem of trying to find a decent drink in the middle of Mormon country. I ate meat served from swords. I found bleached bones in the desert. Talked about the Bouncing Souls crushing bottle caps with a blue haired boy. A snowboard chick remembered me from eating raw fish. The trip back was really amazing, but the reasons for the path chosen unfortunate. John

Sinister: Put him in a body bag Jenny!
by ArtsyDeco＠aol.com 25 Sep '01

25 Sep '01

Sorry if this is overposting, but well, the subject line had to be used, don't you see? I for one am surprised to learn that Jenowl is not karate kid. I wish she was. She could wear one of those headband thingies but instead of red circle in the middle there could be a ribena berry. And hopefully she wouldn't let Peter Cetera (shudders) sing on her soundtrack. My easy mac is finished. Watch out for cheese stains in the rest of this mail. Congratulations to Lawrence, whose name I have always liked. I'm sure his bride wouldn't be anything like Lucy the Bane of Mice, for there really is only one Lucy. Welcome to that girl in the nursery whose name I forgot and Max whose name I like. I spotted a Sarah on the bus today. I will lock all the B&S stunt doubles in a room until they form a band. Also my B&S posters, mousepad and shirt arrived yesterday. There may be more Belle and Sebastain in my room than anything else. What a good thing.

hello :) ...hmmm..this is the first real oppurtunity i've had to post in a couple of weeks..i never thought full time work would be such a full-time job...i barely have time to go home and sleep before i'm up again and braving the wrath of disgruntled book club customers...people can be so RUDE sometimes...i dont mind so much though..it feels satisfying in a strange way..winters coming but i know i'm actually working towards something, saving up money and then going off to see the world for a while..staying in this town for a few more months doesnt seem so bad right now..i'm actually looking forward at the minute..ready for some kind of adventure..wow..i'm being really positive :)..i'm off sick today though, being comforted by the strange electronic sounds of the new hefner album...its quite nice i think...but maybe they're trying a bit too hard to take a different direction...listing all the gadgets they used to make the album on the inside cover is surely not neccessary...there really is no need when you can come up with such fantastic records as the fidelity wars... ...i liked the story about the belle and sebastian club night in Greece...i always seem to attract sketchy old men too...i dont think they find me attractive so i can only assume they see me as a kindred spirit, a fellow nutcase they can discuss matters of the world with which is a bit worrying...maybe i just radiate wierdo vibes..last weeks paticular lunatic was an allegedly hardcore religious fanatic who didnt drink, smoke or swear (it must have been his night off) who kept telling me how swedish people play the guitar and calling me 'rock and roll man yeah' and accused my friend of being a native indian who was wearing special contact lenses to hide 'the evil red' in his eyes...in my own small way i had a little b+s club night of my own though when i persuaded my ska-punk loving friend to play 'le pastie de la bourgeoise' at his dj night...admittidley it was just as everyone was leaving and the looks on the faces of the fourteen year old skater audience was enough to curdle milk...but i smiled and danced anyway...i felt like an elderly uncle 'grooving' at a wedding... ..on the subject of the reindeer section...i cant help loving the album...keeping in mind that it was recorded in two weeks (i think) with assorted musicians who have vastly different styles of playing and making music i think it was a pretty succesful experiment..there are more than enough decent songs on there to warrant buying it...it could have maybe been trimmed down by a few tracks..but 'nytol' and 'firebell' and 'will you please be there for me' and many others make it one of the best albums i've purchased this year...but thats just me...so actually dont bother buying it...i have terrible taste..hmmmm...i think i've gone on too long.. ta ta :) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: My highland goat was doing fine on three red shirts from the washing line
by JENOWL22＠aol.com 25 Sep '01

25 Sep '01

Hewwo, I'm 16 now. 16 whole years old, is that not grate? Now I can get a job for the weekends. I had an interview for a jewellers place last week. I think it went not too bad, but I don't know. They said they'd know who they were taking on by this week, so now every time the phone goes I jump, but I don't know. I went to Glasgow Uni open day too. It looked amazing. I want to be a dentist, but I don't want to move away from home. My home's not amazing, but I like my bedroom, which is purple, and space agey and has room for me loll about. And I don't know if (if I moved away) they'd let me take Bubbles, my goldfish, and I love him so much. He's a grate guyfish. And I like Glasgow too and East Kilbride, cause of all the places that i go, like down the glen where I have my favourite tree and stuff. I don't want to have to take years to find places like that again. Not yet. Plus another reason for not moving away is that I just helped my friend move into a student flat in Edinburgh. Her room is a box, the whole place is freezing, the kitchen looks like it was ripped out of our church hall, and oh yes, she's sharing with 4 posse girls. The posse girls didn't like me very much. Or at all really. I tried to be friendly, but they started slagging me, so I just didn't bother, and they kept saying I was really young and immature and I had no friends and one of them laughed and tried to see if there were scars from where I'd tried to slit my wrists (which I've never tried) because she said I seemed like the type. and one of them said I kept using big words. So then I beed offensive, which I can be quite good at doing sometimes, and one of them wanted to call security to have me thrown out. Because I really pose a threat to people who are bigger than me. I'm not exactly karate kid. So maybe the student life wouldn't be as grate as all that if you were stuck with people like them. No, when i leave high school all the neds and posse girls are going to leave me alone, i've decided. After all, that's the point of uni isn't it? To not get beat up? I was in Fife at the weekend too. We had this chlaymidia swab for men, which is supposed to go up someone's japs eye. It was a thing of evil. I heard a good joke about micheal jackson but I can't remember it. So, a new B&S single. That's going to be swell. I still think they should cover s club 7. I just found a use for morpheus. Downloading the spice girls. And Telstar. Life is as normal. Hard kids are being hard, purple is being swell, ribena still tastes grate, and I don't feel old. I like life. Bobby Wratten from the Field Mice stole my boyfriend.

Sinister: visions of love recollected...
by Ola Szkudlapska 25 Sep '01

25 Sep '01

dear sinister, here i am, sat at the computer in my room, desperately trying to compose an e-mail that'd make sense. perhaps i should turn my record player on and fill the air with some music? hmm... not sure that'd help. i'd just play 'eighties fan' by camera obscura for the zillionth(sic!) time in the past few days... =) (lazy and untalented people like myself will be glad to know one can play the song with just 3 chords - G, D and C! yay :) however, i *do* have a reason to post, so i'd better get on with it. exactly one month ago was a very special day for me - my first (and so far only) sinister picnic! :) i wanted to write about it sooner, but was afraid i'd include too much nonsense, because i was just *so* excited :) everything was exactly as i had imagined, everyone i talked to was really nice, WOW! it just seemed so.. unreal in a way :) i especially enjoyed the tigermilking afterwards - to see everyone dancing to music i normally go mad to alone in my room (having locked the door beforehand, naturally) was simply fantastic. :) so, a very huge 'thank you' to everyone that was there and made it special for me :) "hello, hello! i was the (perhaps a little over-excited) girl in a red top, putting a lot of effort in trying to sound english, and yet sometimes using a very obscure-sounding eastern-european language" :) *hugs everyone* i wish i could stay in london for longer, instead of having to go back to grim warsaw and my lousy school! grr. i'll be back, though, some time next year *for sure*, as i'm going to put into practice some of my Cunning Plans Of Earning Lots Of Cash To Spend On Travelling. =) i'm a little nervous that they may actually prove too cunning to ever become true (see: becoming a commercial pop singer in order to sell a lot of records and get rich; dabbling in alchemy to find out how to change stuff into gold, which would later be sold at a high price... what else can i think of during the long hours spent at school? =) oh, never mind... take care everyone, olalala -- Wygraj 2 dni extra dostepu do Big Brother nie daj sie innym wyprzedzic [ http://bigbrother.onet.pl/platnosci_info.html ] +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
