greetings people, Has anyone noticed the sly way that Vodaphone have changed their soundtrack? We all know what it used to be because it was played to death. but now they are using "can you dig it" by the Mock turtles, the lead singer of which is Steve Coogan's brother ( i thought i'd whip that into gain somer usless knowledge points). Now, i'm a bit disturbed by this coz i love that song but am quite happy not to hear it too much, but now it is thrust in my face and will soon be played on XFM every 20 mins, bah humbug! Has anyone heard "light 3000" by Schnider Tm??? They seem to like it at Strange Fruit and i think it's pretty fab. It's a cover of "there is a light that never goes out" by The Smiths. Some of you Smiths purists may hate it but it really is worth a listen. Also the new single by Erlan Oye is quite interesting coz it is like K.O.C gone ELECTRIC, yey. Blah, blah, blah, Sigor Ros. They are playing in that London soon so we should all try and get tickets if they are not all ready sold out, then we can meet, sigh, it's been far too long. And if anyone is going to see Black Heart Procession at the Scala come and say hi and i might buy you a coke if you are lucky. I know it's a bit early but "i AM going to ATP this year" so if anyone else "IS going" then let me know and we can all shack up together. What came first, the chicken or the egg? I've been thinking about this lately and it really is quite a tricky one. I mean, the egg could have started off as a strange boil on the belly of a lazy dog and after several days of sleeping it could have hatched or something. It sounds stupid but who know's? Do any of you coz i would really like to know. see some of you soon i hope, if i don't i might just explode ( it's been about 6 months don't you know) hannah b _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.

Hands up and snow shovels down for living in Illinois. All this snow is shite. I live in chicago, and it hasn't really stopped since about 9 am. I'm all for a midwest outing. I get jealous reading about all the bowling outings and pubnics. I downloaded a sigur ros song as soon as I read all the emails, and I must say it is very good. I had heard of them before, but never heard anything. So that's my contribution for the day. I'm going to go put on my snowsuit and make some snow angels on the sidewalk. angela _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

Sinister: Is it a threat or a warning?
by Madeleine McNeil 02 Dec '02

02 Dec '02

As promised (and an elf never breaks her word) I have been trying to get information of postal dates for the participants in the Christmas Gift Exchange Fiasco. Now, it's been harder than I thought. Good old Royal Mail have a useful pop up on their main page that gives all the last postal date information. Find it here: www.royalmail.com However, I have had more difficulty finding out abour dates from other countries. But, I did find this ace website that links to every postal service in the WORLD: http://www.grcdi.nl/linkspo.htm You should be able to find your post office there, but if the information isn't available online.... erm, sorry. My investigative powers are currently hampered by PMT, a nasty cold and a painful tooth infection. I am good for nothing but weeping, so I certainly can't find out the last postal dates from Brazil to Australia or whatever. Those of you who send out your parcel late, or do not send it out at all, be warned. Laura and I will hunt you down and I will pick off the weedier looking ones and make you tend to me while I moan and wail with illness and misery. I will send you to the shop for solpadeine, I will make you bring me hot toddies and soothing ice cream and hot water bottles and I will moan and moan and moan.* Ken mentioned B&S playing cards. I got mine recently. They smell funny. I haven't played with them yet, only taken them out of the box, looked at them, sniffed them and put them back again. I'm rubbish at card games anyway, as I can barely remember the rules, and I hate losing but I hate winning too because it feels a bit mean. I think I should only play Snap with slow, dull people I hate. I have recently acquired, along with my playing cards, a new celebrity crush. I went to bed early on Friday in the hopes that I would have a saucy dream or two about her but instead I dreamt about being late for work for TWO WHOLE HOURS. When I finally woke up, I made it to work on time, only to be shouted at by a fat pompous visiting bookseller. And that sci fi fan who smells funny kept standing too close to me.... Anyway, that's quite enough, Madeleine xxx *This is not strictly true, but I am trying to impress upon you all that it is very important, dammit, that you send your gifts to people. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

Sinister: this year, to save me from tears, i'll give it to someone special.
by dagnyrae 02 Dec '02

02 Dec '02

i think i'll start with some notings again: *i do wish i could be in attendance at mr. jay eckard's southern soiree; however, being landlocked as i am with shining monetary shackles, i can only encourage others to go and take a nice fruit salad in my honor. preferably the delightfully WT ambrosia type of fruit salad. i think jay might like that. *someone mentioned sigur ros: this band, indeed, is like nothing else. what i can tell you (as an avid avid fan): jonsi, the gay and half-blind frontman, plays his guitar with a cello bow (thus producing the characteristic ambiance). their first album (well, the first released in america; the actual first was von, but now very hard to get) was largely in icelandic, with the exception of track 8, olsen olsen, which is in hopelandic, the band's made-up language. apparently the language consists of whatever jonsi mumbled in practice; not actually words, but sounds. whatever. the new album, (), is all in hopelandic. all that aside, though, the music is incredible. the first time i listened to agaetis byjurn, i cried. and i was driving at the time, so it was kind of a problem. but yeah. i think it was the very most spiritual musical listening experience i've ever had, and it have one every time i listen. and sigur ros means victory rose. how cool is that? ooo. yeah. spiritually orgasmic. *one last thing. oft bored at work, i've become somewhat addicted to the crosswords accessed at www.bored.com. today i wandered around the site's other links, and discovered that the only other things there would actually incite boredom, including a virtual bubble wrap site that featured a piece of 'virtual bubble wrap' with small circles (emulating bubbles) on which one could click (emulating popping said bubbles). yikes. almost as bad as msn's 'top 10 places to kiss' article (which i of course checked out). too bad there aren't any ski lifts where i live. i guess i'll have to settle for the most original locale on their list: under the covers. anyone wanna come over? *** my sister made me an ace holiday music mix. largely christmas, but there's a hanukkah song in there. yeah. that one. the people at the paper seem to like it, anyway. and there's a techno number on there. three pouncing minutes of beat and synthesized auld lang syne with this crazy voice shouting 'happy new year.' it makes me laugh, and it's stuck in my head now. well. better that than U2, i guess. *** bono spoke at the university tonight. i went, notebook in hand, to gather information for the editorial i just finished writing about 20 minutes ago. between all the standing ovations for bono and ashley judd and lance armstrong i dropped my pen and had to borrow from the bloke next to me. but fellowship was the theme of the night anyway. millions of orphans in africa have parents who die from AIDS, and thousands more people are dying or contracting HIV every day. the statistics were sobering. the same number of people in my university's current graduating class is the same number of people who die every day in africa from AIDS or HIV. a little over 6,000. there was a woman who spoke. out of africa to america for the first time. she was HIV positive. and for some reason i wondered what would happen if she fell, if she got cut, if she bled out onto that stage. what the people would have done, who would have been the first to touch her. everyone who spoke, all the celebrities, received a standing ovation. one man didn't. a doctor. apparently at the forefront of AIDS research. and that pissed me off. we didn't recognize him, but we recognized ashley judd and bono, who received wild applause and cheers when he performed a surprise song at the end of the show, some new U2 track celebrating america and its gracious wonder. i wasn't so proud of my fellow americans, all those kids who sat through those two hours to hear a song, reminisce about hearing the joshua tree for the first time amongst themselves and then go home and talk about the moving numbers, the true-life story, the little choir of african kids who joined in with bono and his cd backup. we all left with this little idea that the world would be better and that we really wouldn't have to do anything. we could let bono do it. or a group of kids in lincoln. just to go to that one event was enough. just to go and cheer for the famous, and let the everyday go by again and again and again. well. i guess some days are better than others. the war on AIDS? the war on terror? the war on the world? i guess those are just for off days, and we get over those after a few cigarettes and a good night's sleep. when we stop being scared, we'd be ready to touch a bleeding woman, we'd be ready to tell her we really would do something, just by taking her hand and telling her that someday, the bleeding would end before her life did. go do something about something. don't just talk about it, say you love 'we rule the school' and then never make the attempt to do something pretty while you can. *rae __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Sinister: Danger! High Voltage
by Michael Ashbridge 02 Dec '02

02 Dec '02

** When we touch, when we kiss! ** That's Jack White on vocals, right? I want a copy. I need to Google this. Never will you see a dance floor move into absolute and immediate nuclear meltdown so fast. (Jack White = yes. Band = Electric Six, formerly the Wildbunch. Release date = January. Am I the last to know these things? Jesus. Cracking song, tho.) Ah ha! Those of you in uni/college or otherwise with access to silly bandwidth can download the video in high-res quicktime format (33.9 MB). Rock on, Tommy. http://electric6.com/multimedia/index.shtml ** I can take any kind of criticism, as long as it's unqualified praise ** Mark C. said some very nice things (generally, but specfically) about the nature of all things Sinister. How nice it is to have the freedom to be NICE, to be able tell someone you think they're fab without worrying about having to take out a restraining order later or change your name, move to Bolivia and grow a moustache. Mark C., you're fab. Many of you are extremely fab, and I may have written to tell you so. With most of you, however, I'm just waiting for an excuse. If you can't wait to hear how fab I think you are, write to me and tell me that you're fabulously impatient and I'll probably oblige. (Exceptions apply; no means no; think globally act locally; your home may be at risk if you do not keep up repayments.) ** Eighteen seconds before sunrise ** Much talk/reiteration of Sigur Rós over the weekend. I got () last month, but either it's taking much longer to absorb than did Ágætis Byrjun, where the impact was immediate and lasting, or PitchforkMedia did give a fair review: http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/s/sigur-ros/().shtml Those of you contemplating a trip to the record store, the advice is to seek out Ágætis Byrjun and listen to the first few minutes in the shop. If it doesn't put a gun to your head and demand that you buy it, there's no chance you'll find anything about () to love. If you do own a copy of (), here is something fun to do. Put it in your computer's CD-ROM/cup-holder, fire up your interweb, and go to www.sigur- ros.com. You'll need to click-and-drag the funky banner about for a bit (and hope it doesn't fux0r your computer), and maybe even register, but you get access to more of the site. Extended MP3s etc. Let's hear it for pointlessly complicated web design! (Flash required. You'll need speakers/headphones as well. It's an audio-visual kinda thing.) ** An interesting chord progression, if progression is the right word ** Finally: voting is open for Peel's Festive Fifty, so hie thee to the booth and post your nominations for 2002. Voting for session tracks is allowed, of course, so you might want to pick out your favourite B&S Peel Acres track. Maybe. But only if you really really liked it. And don't get carried away -- only last week Peely got all shirty because someone somewhere was trying to organise a coup for their favourite band. It's an individual thing, got that? Good. Now go vote for B&S (and Ballboy. YES!): http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/alt/johnpeel/features/festive_fifty_vote.shtml Millions of everything beautiful - Michael PS. The two of you to whom I owe replies: on their way.

Sinister: I've got my philosophy - it keeps my feet on the ground.
by Sam Walton 02 Dec '02

02 Dec '02

Hello Sinister. My life trundles on, although some people's don't. But that's not important right now. Click delete - these are just some anecdotes from the last coupla weeks. ///SQAURE EYES\\\ It's been quite a week for me. See, I had lots of assignments all due in today at midday, so I've been sat in front of a computer for ages. It wasn't fun. ///THE PERKS OF THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER\\\ So I read "The Perks of being a Wallflower", by Stephen Chbsoky. I didn't much like it, to be honest. I didn't much like Charlie, either; he was like a pathetic version of Holden Caulfield. At least Holden Caulfield was all-mouth-no-trousers - this character didn't even have much mouth. I guess it's just not as good as Catcher In The Rye, and although it's a bit unfair to compare it to a classic, that is something that literature whores like me do. At least I read it. On a more positive note, I read "A Wild Sheep Chase" by Haruki Murakami. You all should, too. It's a brilliant book, but that's just my opinion - what do I know? ///WHEN I WAS A BOY I WAS CONFOUNDED BY YOU\\\ I bumped into a teenage crush of mine the other day, which I must tell you was strange. She's just started at my univeristy, and we just bumped into each other in a bar one night. I still fancy her too, which surprised me, because I've changed quite a lot since I was 17. I suspect that she still doesn't fancy me. It might be time to dig out "The Bends" once again. ///TEXAS HOLD-UP\\\ Ken mentioned the playing cards. I bought mine about five weeks ago, and they still haven't arrived. I emailed Banchory about it but didn't hear back, and the Post Office reckon they're "lost". Great. Ken also mentioned Poker, which is a brilliant game. I'd be up for a Texas Hold-up, Late Night Poker style marathon when I get back to London in a couple of weeks. Anybody else? ///VICTORY ROSE\\\ I'm also among the many who are enjoying the new Sigur Ros album. Recently, however, I've been indulging in a bit of Ben Folds Five nostalgia - they used to be one of my favourite bands. The first two albums are the best, but they so often are, aren't they? You should listen to them. ///THE BEST IMMITATION OF MYSELF\\\ In my last post (http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/200211/msg00086.html) I said that my next post would look like this: http://www.missprint.org/cgi-bin/anylistsearch.cgi?query=asm%3B+top+10&list…, or like this: http://www.missprint.org/cgi-bin/anylistsearch.cgi?query=asm%3B+top+10&list…. But it doesn't. It looks more like this: http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/200212/msg00005.html, all of which is highly self-referential, but if I don't quote me, nobody will. With any luck, my *next* post will look as billed. "With any luck"; that's what it so often comes down to. What a load of bollocks. ~, Asm.x ================================ "He's strictly a pain in the ass, but he certainly has a good vocabulary" - Holden Caulfield "He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy" - Mary Cohen _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: He (and she) got a strike at the age of 21
by terry underwear 02 Dec '02

02 Dec '02

hello, i apologise if this comes twice... we had a very sinister weekend here in perth. this is how it unfolded... Jeremy's Party On Friday night Jeremy celebrated his 21st birthday. Although not an officially endorsed Sinister event, 5 people from the list were there. They were the super-duper birthday boy Jeremy, the very funny Jim, the lovely Kate, the heroic Helen, and the complimentary I. There were mini sausage rolls and party pies (and double dipping was allowed!), a bowl full of smarties, the best chocolate brownies ever, cheezels and, of course, copious amounts of beer and wine. Jeremy, Jim and Helen lit up the dancefloor, and I jumped about a lttle too, trying to put the fire out. Pubnic Saturday was going to be a picnic, but due to other commitments it morphed into a pubnic. I arrived at the Moon and Sixpence at 7ish and soon found Helen and Jim. Jeremy arrived shortly after, followed by the charming Katey and the commendable Kin (who owns some of the worlds best t-shirts). The pub was having a St Andrew's Day celebration, which we thought was quite apt, and was also full of English tourists bemoaning the fact that their cricket team is ummm, not particularly good. Much alcohol was downed and many laughs were had, and a great time was had by all. Eastenders, Holly Valance documentaries and gossip filled magazines were discussed, which means it must have been fun. Unfortunately prior commitments meant that the evening had to be cut a little short, but there was bowling to be done.... Bowling Helen, Jim, Jeremy and I arrived at the bowling alley at 10ish, ready to hit some pins. Jeremy dominated the first game, stylishly leaving the rest of us in his wake. I forget who came last. Highlights included strikes from Helen and Jeremy, Helen's hop step and jump technique, I solving his problem of being unable to score on his second bowl by deliberately bowling gutter balls on his first bowl, Helen breaking things and making smoke come out, and Jim's impressively large.....run up. The second game was closely fought between I and Jeremy, with I just getting over the line to win. Highlights included cameo appearances by such luminaries as Lois Lane, David Bowlie and Nabowleon. Future Picnic There may be a picnic this Sunday, in King's Park, starting at around 1 or 2pm. Probably. And there are a few additions to the Australian Listee's List too. There are at least: 9 in Perth (Kin, Jim, Jeremy, Terry, Helen, Michael, Kate, Katey, Katie) 4 in Brisbane (Steven, Grant, Nicholas, Alex) 5 in Melboure (David, Sophia, Neil, Amy, Justin) 1 in Adelaide (Nathan) 1 in Sydney (Chris) 1 in Newcastle (Shellie) 1 in London (Marianna, ex-Perth) 1 in Glasgow (Katrina, ex-Perth) 1 in Manchester (Rachael, ex-Melbourne) And there is Lawrence in NZ too. and that is all i have to say. terry _____________________________________________________________ Get 25MB, POP3, Spam Filtering with LYCOS MAIL PLUS for $19.95/year. http://login.mail.lycos.com/brandPage.shtml?pageId=plus&ref=lmtplus +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: the buoy with the crab trap
by Kenneth P Y Chu 02 Dec '02

02 Dec '02

Hey kids, How are we all? Good, I hope. I just bought myself a new DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION game for my playstation today and it is great! You can dance to classics such as "Don't Stop moving" by S Club 7 and "The Bad Touch" by Bloodhound gang and "Can't get you out of my head" by Kylie Minogue/Stefano (Steady State)! And of course also "My Favourite Game" by the Cardigans, how apt! It IS my favourite game. I have been on a haze of consumerism actually, recent purchases include: - a new Bookshelf (I can now put my books back on the shelf)! - a new Mobile Phone (It's full of silicon chips)! - new Recording Equipments (not just for playyying guitar)! - a tube travel card that doesn't expire until next year! (it states the destination but it doesn't mean that it will show)! - a crack ho from soho (she was doing it with business ken on the piano belle, oh she thought it was a living hell)!** Yeeeh, shopping crazy! B&S Style, too. And of course I got the BELLE AND SEBASTIAN PLAYING CARDS! There has been preciously little talk about the B+S Playing Cards, no? Aren't they great? They are! Late night poker has never been so much fun! I have to be careful not to mix them up with my UNO cards though because they look quite similar. Has anyone actually played with them yet? I haven't yet.. I wanna do that thing where you hold all the cards in one hand and bend it, and then let go and all the cards jump over to the other hand! But they costed a tenner so I thought I'd actually keep them nice and straight for a while yet. How many sinisters are in London nowadays? E-mail me yeah? Go out for a pint innit. Anyone in London like Poker? We need to have a game one day, mmm yeah with B&S Playing Cards and all. Texas River Holdem No Limit oh yes. A PUBNIC one day, maybe? Poker in a pub! Loser buys the rounds. What does the dealer button do? Personally I use my BSPD badge as the dealer button. My favourite card is Queen of Diamonds*. Aww bless. I need a snog. Oops thought out loud. Ken * Although 10 of Spades almost edged it what with SNOGGING (almost) in it! Hubba Hubba! ** I didn't really do it with a crack ho on a piano*** *** it was a glockenspiel _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.
