Sinister: Reporting back to us (the bowlers have arrived)

Alwight me ol chinas? Hope you're all doing well. And also, are you ready boys and girls? Because REPORTING BACK is BACK! Sunday was a day of fun and adventure, as you all know, it was the day of BOWLING WEEKENDER. As the Stakes were high, I prepared myself first by murdering half a cow, and then half a colony of cockroaches before claiming that I was the greatest guitar player in the world (a claim which was to be disproved later). This was before actually BOWLING. Later on at 3:30pm, the crowd gathered outside Finsbury Park bowling centre, where bowling happens. Amongst the crowd were the lovebirds, and a few of those who love birds. We were having a swift pint at the bar when we were approached by "The Field Marshall", that was when bowling begun. Two games of entralling bowling were played, there were moments of skills, and also almost fall-outs, and when we got asked for our "small balls" by the girl next lane, The Field Marshall and The Dappers both had their minds at the gutter, in different ways. At the end Healy's "apathy" bowling style and S(SS)'s "freight train" style pleased the crowd, and they both played a good game, but the Field Marshall emerged victorious (sportingly by only one point so not to belittle the oppositions). Liz was Robbed. Later on, we went all the way to the world's end, and it was scary there. That was when we bumped into no other than DAVID BOWIE! Ziggy himself - who performed several of his hit songs during an Open Mic acoustic set. We listened to him whilst taking revenge in stories and dreaming of the time when we were on stage, and dreaming of horses. You should have seen the state I was in on Monday morning. This bowling event was quite possibly the best thing that has ever happened to sinister so far. It was so good, we went bowling again last night! But that's another story. D I G R E S S Story -> Tales -> Tails -> Bottoms -> Bosoms -> Porn -> Limp Bizkit I used to dislike Limp Bizkit a lot, but I've changed my mind recently after reading a magazine article and it revealed that Fred Durst -- who you'd think is thug of the century -- is actually an avid Harry Potter fan! During an interview, when asked of his opinions of Harry Potter and whether the media hype was getting too much. Fred exclaimed... "NO! Keep Rowling Rowling Rowling Rowling URRGH! Rowling Rowling Rowling!" Thank fuck for that.

Hello sinister. I am your Tourist Information Service and as such I'm going to use my authority upon you all: "go and visit Warsaw". I'm a pretty crap person to take up this role as I know very little about the place but I am filled to the eyeballs with enthusiasm to tell everyone about it so. 30th of October After a stay in Hackney with the (silent on sinister:( Ali+Alex, they sent me on my way with packed lunch in hand and hangover in head to fight a path through London's well filled tube with my ENORMOUS bag of stuff and burst though Victoria's automatic doors to look for a bus with no name. The bus with no name had been a concern since I first found out about it a week before when I rang up and spoke to the particularly unhelpful travel agent. After confirming when I wanted to go and where to, I asked her what time to expect said bus and what it company I had to look for. "I don't know, just get there early" she said, her staightened northern accent momentarily braking to reveal it's rougher edge. Back to the present day I had very little trouble finding the bus as the time had infact been printed on my ticket and the bus was clear to see as the one surrounded by frighteningly good looking people who stood out a mile against the backdrop on Londoners. My mind was sent back to the last time I was in this situation, in February, when lost in central Poland's Wroclaw bus station. The station had tens of coffee machines dotted about the place and I remembered thinking how much happier the beautiful people would be if they were replaced with Martini despensers. My Anglo-Polish was not all it could have been but enough passed between me and the driver. He bundled me aboard and ran in a LeMans24hour stylee to his seat before taking off at some pace over Vauxhall bridge towards Dover. It was at about this time that I got into deep prayer for the safety of my legs, it went like this: "Dear God, don't let the woman sitting before me discover the joys of the reclining bus seat" repeated every few minutes. I think it worked, as she was very still until we stopped in a German service station for a few minutes. Everyone shot off to the shop,bought up a years worth of cigarettes and manged to squeeze about five smokes into the 15 minute period before getting back in the tin-can-with-wheels. Whereupon the woman sitting in front of me got into an eqivilant of seated DDR, giggling with amusement that her seat not only went back and forth but also sideways, my knees dodged the hard edge of the seat-back tray and it missed by a small ammount each time. It was some hours(days?) later that the bus got to the outskirts of Warszawa, instantly plunging into the sort of traffic jam that preludes a big city. Not a bad thing, I got to play a fave game of gazing dearly at eastern european cars for an hour. Of course we would be late, about 6 hours as it turned out and Ola, sensably, thought better than to wait around getting herself bitten by the cold on the off chance that I may turn up at sometime. Then my phone set it's self to sleep(for the rest of the week) and through no fault of their own I'd no luck with the station's payphones. HMMM, in my usual state of *organisation* whilst abroad, I was running low on ideas. I walked to the centre, towards a tourist info place that one of my books had mentioned as the place to go to find help. I don't know wheather it was still open at that time but don't really car ether because on my way there I heard the blessed sound of Liverpudlian. Not usually the source of excitment, today was different and the man was probably a little shaken after my burst of "HelloyoujustspokeEnglish,haveyougotaphone?pleasecanIborrowit?I'minamessetcetc.." but being a total star he let me use it and soon after I was explaning myself to Miss Lalala, her voice coming down the phone like a big flashy lighthouse to me lost in a storm. Needless to say, after such a long trip it was brill to finally get there and to not be sleeping on the streets, I was made very at home. Ola's flat even having a view of the massive Palace of culture from the balcony, which was my one big must see in Warszawa. If I was an itinery sort of person then I'd have had "Go and see the Palace of Culture" written at the top of the page in gold leaf ink with additional flourecent highlighting underneath. Returning once again to my Tourist Information Person persona I think you should all know that it was well worth seeing, later on in the week we went upto the 30th floor of the sandstone monster, which was a very long way up and the lifts were so quick you felt really light when they came to a stop high in the sky. Really its the history behind it thats interesting...(forgive me the odd mistake) After the war when Poland came under Communist rule, Stalin and his party thought it'd be great if they were to build 8 of these palaces over their empire in a show of power to the west with their Empire State and Crysler Buildings and a show of control to the people of the countries within. The largest is this one in the centre on Warsaw and looking at it even today it casts a huge imposing message across the city. Go see it!! Throughout the week Ola was a mega guide to have, one night we went to a club to try my first ever Carambola:), it's a liquor made from starfruits and we had it with grapefruit juice to start with. With this it's like a refreshing alcopop with added alco and pop that soon had us with designs on a whole bottle of the stuff. Seeing that we were potential addicts, the barman reappeared and shuffled two more Carambola based drinks our way. These were cloudy pink and had the grapefruit kicked out in place of rum, mmmmmmm. Lovely,more alco and less pop, we continued our Carambola journey with the original mixture before braving the very cold outside and running for/after the bus. It was pretty ****ing cold the next night aswell when we went to see a display of Yann Artuss-Bertrand's "Earth from the Air" photos that were stuck on the fence of this huge park. It's a really good idea to put them there, out of the galleries and onto the street as you hear so many people promising. Brilliant pictures too, not just aerial photography, but each of the hundred odd pictures a proper piece of art in it's own right. We both agree that flying about the world taking pictures and money for them is a pretty good job to have. Again the warmth of public transport was fully appreciated on the homeward tram. And while I was there it was Halloween! A party had been organised at Ola's flat, thankfully almost everyone dressed up, with a Warrior Queen being a memorable sight among throngs of witch's and carpet-wearing-people-with-sticks. I've never seen so many different Vodkas in my life, some yummy, some repulsive, all responsable for me staying in bed til late the next day. Met lot's of new and old friends though, among the sinister flock were Kamil(forgive me the spelling) hello! and Maja, hello! And all to soon it was time to go home:( Not quite home though! Seeing the Lord Major's fireworks on the Thames was a fitting end to my holiday. Thank you Ali+Alex for letting me live in Hackney and ride on 38 buses and be a Londoner for a bit. But now I am home, winter in wife-swapping Broughton-Astley is not looking much fun, but far better for the Polish trip :) James. _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

Sinister: maybe it's just me...
by marisa stroud 21 Nov '02

21 Nov '02

I have a friend that sings while hes walking. Just walks around, singing. I sing with him when its dark. Otherwise, I sing in my head. Except in my Monday morning Socialism in 20th Century Canada seminar. Since its a class about socialism, it understandably has a lot to do with Marxism. And I dont know about you, but whenever anyone says Marx and Engles, I think of Belle and Sebastian. *amusing anecdotal aside: my boyfriend bought me the Waking Up To Us ep last December when I was feeling really sick. My best friend was visiting me in Glasgow, but wasnt present when he presented me with my present. Later when she did see it, she thought hed scanned in a picture of me with a dog and made his own cover art. Apparently I look like eerily like that picture of part of Sarahs face. End aside* My Monday morning socialism seminar is three hours long. The first hour and a half is usually a lecture from our cute little prof (he looks like the kind of grandad that takes you out apple-picking in the fall and teaches you about recycling). Then we break up into groups and do some kind of analysis work. It is usually then I start to space out and try to sing Marx and Engles quietly to myself which, if youve tried, youll know is very hard to sing discreetly. So I think the girl that sits next to me thinks Im nutty as a fruitcake. *are fruitcakes even nutty? Ive never had one, perhaps because Im afraid itll have nuts in it and Id have to jab that epipen thing in my thigh. It looks scary and hurty, and I dont want to have to try it. So I stay away from nuts and, consequently, fruitcake, thus exacerbating my ignorance of the ingredients therein* That class has taught me that Im not cut out to be a revolutionary. You have to be too angry at too many people for too much of the time. Also, I just wanna make necklaces out of interesting rocks and glue seashells to picture frames. I took the Twee Test recently. I wasnt sure if they were going to email me back, but they did. The subject line said, your tweeness. I thought it was a royal salute. It might as well have been. You are 74% twee. That is quite twee. Well done. There you are, boys and girls. Certified twee as fuck. I think I should change the end of the song to reflect My Tweeness. Shes writing in the style / Of any quiet grrrl There. That sounds a bit better to twee. I mean me. marisa. _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Offbeat, Coupland, lost friends
by Joanne Hill 21 Nov '02

21 Nov '02

Another new Sinister member...that's me then. I'm Joanne and I'm from Macclesfield (in true Blind Date style) but this year I'm in Toronto, university year abroad thingy...I 'normally' go to Warwick Uni...I'm on the exec of Offbeat there, the original and not-so-superior. I wish I had an amazing story to tell, about anything, but I've not really. I wanted to talk about how I began to love Belle & Sebastian. It was only about two years ago, I'm a bit of a late starter when it comes to music, I had no friends at school who liked anything resembling indie/alternative - although we did have a thing for folk, and Cropredy festival in August. I had a friend called John Camm at work in Canterbury, he was about four years older, and had just finished his final year at the University if Kent. He invited me round to his one summer day. I was seriously hungover and tired from a party the night before, but i went anyway. It was from a conversation about folk, about Fairport Convention, which led onto Nick Drake, because some of the Fairport contingent play on Bryter Layter, and from there it was a short step to B&S. I think he was quite excited about his recent purchase of Fold Your Hands Child... so he put it on the stereo. I promptly fell in love with 'Women's Realm' and 'The Model' but it was a few months before I bought my own copy. By then I had been taken in by the warm (but glittery) arms of Offbeat, and had lost touch with John. Actually I never saw him again after that day of Belle & Sebastian. He had lent me a Douglas Coupland novel, but after that disappeared without a trace - back home I assume, somewhere near Southampton. I tried, really, to get his book back to him, it only took me a day to read, but wherever he was it wasn't Canterbury. Now if he is lamenting the loss of that book then well, he could have called me. But I guess he is the one to thank for leading me eventually here. Perhaps I should end here, for now. Going to the Silver Dollar on Spadina Ave this evening for live bluegrass. Any Toronto people, convince me that Canadians are friendly types, I always need more friends...

Sinister: And is that a medical condition?
by John Jennings 20 Nov '02

20 Nov '02

I've been told not to start posts with 'ooh hasn't it been a long time since i last posted, let me spend the next two paragraphs working out how long it was'. I don't think I ever did that, but I've been told off for it anyway, and now I feel like I'm going against authority somewhat. Urgle. So crikey, hasn't it been a long time... The delgados were in leicester a week and a half ago and they were fantastic and very nice and talkative and i'm still rather excited about that... to show this i intend to keep my paragraphs short to show a sense of urgency.. because i live in leicester, its a showbiz place now y'know.. i have people to go and... erm... talk to. >Furthering the niceness tip, do many Sinisterines do this? Asked young mark. He was talking about giving blood. Well I did a few weeks ago.. It wasn't as painful as I thought it was going to be but you can still get a fairly large amount of sympathy when you show your plaster... I was a wee bit embarrassed about all the questions they asked me ("well... no... kinda... yes... well") and then I received my blood card thingy in the post this morning and it turns out I'm A positive. Plain old run of the mill A positive. Well I won't be doing that again. Hmph. Have people been noticing that the belle people have been doing pages and pages of questions and answers over the past few weeks? I was very impressed that they've been working hard at it... Erm... I'm not actually going to make a witty point about it... i was just saying.... I know sinister seems to be somewhat above record recommendations now, but I'm going to make one anyway, because if you don't have the geographic compilation 'you don't need darkness to do what you think is right' by now, you really ought to go and get it. Roight then, I've made a mark on the world of sinister, i shall descend back into lurkerdom. I have to make one of these token posts every so often. I think its insecurity. Crikey.

Sinister: Sinister Christmas Present Exchange: Part The Second (Deadline: Monday the 25th)
by Laura Llew 20 Nov '02

20 Nov '02

Boston, October 1999. While walking through the Italian section of the city with my friend Lizzyborden, a man rushes up to Lizzy thrusts a dollar into her hand while whispering,"Just buy it." For two seconds we're a bit dazed, until we see the curly black haired girl toddling behind him asking if we would like to buy a paper hat. Lizzy gives her the dollar, takes the hat, and kind of dances around as the girl beams happily while clapping. It was probably the most adorable thing I've ever witnessed. Ok, so was that sappy enough for you sentimental sinister suckahs? I'm just trying to motivate, inspire, and remind you about the Sinister Christmas Exchange. Miss Maddie Minx Elfkin and I have decided that the deadline to give us your information will be this coming up Monday November 25th (though we would naturally like it in as soon as you can get it to us). Then, hopefully, we shall have e-mailed everyone their exchange partners by Thursdayish. If you're clueless to what I'm referring to, you can review the original posts at: http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/latest/msg00036.html and http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/latest/msg00048.html The main gist is that if you want to participate in the sinister christmas exchange please e-mail me at Lleweth(a)hotmail.com your: * Name * Full Address * The number of presents you would like to send out (since it will correspond with the presents you will receive) and * Whether you have a preference of sending to someone inside your country or not as foreign mailing can get right pricey and I have great respect for you cheap bastards out there. If geography makes no difference, then there's no need to mention anything. Also, please don't hesitate to e-mail me if you have any questions, concerns, or chocolate covered boys you want to get off your hands. yours, Laura PS - I've decided that if I ever go to a sinister event that I want to be sexuality cups present. See: http://www.joannou.net/petullant/sexualitycupsfull.jpg PPS - Two sinisterines took me up on my offer to come visit me while I had the looming farm house to myself during the autumn and it was *fantastic* Thus, I'm sending much love out to them - especially to Jay EckArd who is the other native NC-er on the list even if he lives five hours from me. *sniff* PPPS - The whole reason I wrote this post was to say that the DEADLINE FOR THE CHRISTMAS EXCHANGE IS THIS COMING UP MONDAY. There. Point made. _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

Sinister: nothing dreamy just a question
by Raymond Humphrey 20 Nov '02

20 Nov '02

Good evening from the midwest. How are ya all doin out there in sini-land? HOpefully all is well in the kingdom. Things are well here. Just a quick note, I moved to a new location in Illinois, now it's the booming mecca of McHenry. A nice little town near the border of Illinois and Wisconsin, about an hour or so away from the big city of Chicago. It's a nice place....pretty bit actually. I have a nice size room to keep my crap and a wonderful sun room attached to it. It's a pretty cozy spot tucked into a neighborhood full of retirees. Oh except for the Plutshaks who live across the street. Middle aged couple who are just hilarious....Joan is a nurse in a local doctors office and John is a computer consultant who brews some wickedly good beer in his basement. Not a bad bunch. I do have to make sure I"m careful with dressing and stuff like that because there are windows everywhere. I'd hate to give some poor old lady a heart attack while changing into something more comfortable..hahahahaha...ICK! I never had a chance to give you all a review of my trip to the uk from september. Here it is in a nutshell.....I had a great time. Got to spend a few days in the north hanging with punk rock lesbian girls. If any of you know of a little redheaded girl from Manchester who does little cheers before some of the rock shows up there. Tell her she's a Dugar. One more thing here. Anyone heard of a band called the Scotland Yard Gospel Choir? I heard them on the radio last week and they had one of them B&S type of styles. Dreamy, folky, psycadelic, cheeky and just plain good. They are from Chicago I believe. I'm not affiliated with them but you all might wanna give them a chance. I won't send the link to their site in this mail but if ya can't find them on the net give me a mail and I'll send you a link. I must go back to work here...but I hope you all have a good holiday and what not.
