Sinister: a weekend wasting
by R.Playforth＠sussex.ac.uk 25 Feb '02

25 Feb '02

the rain is particularly persistent today, doing a great of job of reminding me that, yes, it IS still winter and yes, i WOULD rather be tucked up in bed. it was a strange weekend, floating past in a haze of rain, sugary food and psychoactive drugs. friday night started off well, if surreally, when matt and i were persuaded to go to a quiz night at my parents' rugby club, and came first, winning 6 bottles of wine. i think playing our joker on the harry potter round did the trick, that and our tragically extensive knowledge of eighties/nineties film music... but the less said about the following night, the better. (note to self: your imagination is quite capable of going into overdrive and seeing the world as completely fucked up/amazing/scary without hallucinogens upping the ante.) as if the rain wasn't tragedy enough, i just found out that two of my best friends, together for 14 months, have split up. when they first got together i was briefly (and vocally to this very list) devastated - he was my first love and she was my housemate. but now it's over i feel incredibly sad. i mean, it's been tumultuous to say the least, and this is probably the best thing for them. but it's still sad. although i'm partly being selfish even now, because i don't like change, and (to pile on the melodrama by quoting yeats) all is changed, changed utterly. i can't invite both of them to a social event any more. we can't be a comfortable threesome (no smut intended.) and i don't want to be in the middle - but how i can be there for both of them without betraying both of them? oh well, in happier news, the nicest carsmile there ever was is selling me a spare ticket for brixton, so i'll be able to get hot and sweaty and excited (again, no smut intended, or only a little bit) and dance like no-one's watching and sing like i know all the words after all! i'm having a whole 'minibreak' in london to mark the occasion, so start planning on ways to entertain me, londoners. i know the oportunities for fun are limited without the sea, but i trust you... i also have the minor excitement of knowing that parcel force have a parcel ready for me to collect, but not knowing what the parcel contains... come on, confess: who's been sending me big boxes of chocolates again? of course, i know in my heart that it's probably books i ordered on the internet by mistake... all the others did drugs, they're taking it out on us. luv archel xxx ****************** Visit www.buzzwords.ndo.co.uk for the best new writing on the web.

Sinister: Ankle-deep in clover, summer must be over
by MyMomSays＠aol.com 25 Feb '02

25 Feb '02

9:30 PM Sunday I think it's an absolute must for an e-mail to begin with the time and date, and both of those can either be done as I've done above, or they can be written out dramatically--such as, "Dearest listees, it's 9:30 at night and I'm pondering this Sunday that's coming to an inevitable end." Well, I opted for the former simply because I'm not feeling very dramatic. In fact, I am feeling quite goofy and fun. Most of this is attributed to the fact that I just saw "Queen of the Damned" and am pretty excited that it was the Goth movie that was made for my 14 year-old self. The 1994 in me is just screaming with excitement over such a film, and I feel like going back and seeing it again.. I didn't get enough of the pasty-faces and black fishnetting. This was going to be a Richard J. Gillanders appreciation post, but since he won't even get to see it, I don't think I'll bother. But, ol Richie, he's off to Brno and he's a good chap. Instead of a Richard J. Gillanders appreciation post, I'll make this a Richard Pryor appreciation post. This is somewhat in honor of Richard J. Gillanders seeing as Richard Pryor is his priority. And they are best friends in real life. And Richard J. Gillanders also informed me once that "Brewster's Millions" is available on DVD for a mere ten quid! Well, translating that into dollars, that ain't such a good deal - but when taking into account the hilarity of goofy ol' Pryor, I think it's quite worth it! Actually, while scanning the selection at the local Blockbuster Video the other day, I noticed nearly all of the Pryor selected had been confiscated. Had Gillanders snuck into my Blockbuster and raided the selection? "Brewster's Millions" was checked out. So was "See no evil, hear no evil." So was the Richard Pyror stand-up video! I turned to Eddie Murphy, looking for a shoulder to cry on. Beverly Hills Cop I, II, and III were checked out. I settled for "The Golden ! Child." So, according to Neil Robertson, B&S are doing an American tour of sorts! Maybe I'll turn up at the Chicago gig, wearing shades and a wig. This ain't a promise. Although, the shades and wig are definitely a promise. I do not go anywhere at least without my sunglasses.. because, and I've asked a lot of people about this and they've whole-heartedly agreed, shades are the ultimate of status symbols. It doesn't matter if its sunny out--I wear my sunglasses at night, and indoors, much like a Mr. Hart would approve of. But glamour simply cannot rise out of someone unless they are silently judging you from behind sunglasses! And I feel much more confident and snotty when I don't have to make eye-contact. But, taking this into account, I saw "Storytelling" and I just wasn't convinced Scooby was a B&S fan. I wasn't such a fan of the movie, either. Although, now that I am thinking about it, it's making me giggle--in particular, the documentarian and his narration of his film. And Scooby. And the little kid. And Consuelo. But while I was watching it I thought "Gak! This is abysmal!" Later, it gets better. The movie is only good after it's over. "Queen of the Damned" only gets better and better. Well, Sinister, time for me to leave the computer lab and cozy up in my Pound Puppies pajamas. Love, Mandee! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: ~ dirtily dreamed post number two
by skirted pais 25 Feb '02

25 Feb '02

intellectual and perspiring and pseudosexual and conspiring...: I'm pretty sure I don't have anything to say worth saying to so many of YOU. And I don't even write to the one I used to know, anymore (although, lurker, if you're coming to the Austin concert and want to see me, say the word). +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ~ is it someone that you'd maybe recognise? I know there'll be the Texas Sinister round-up! But maybe an Austin pre-show meet-up? E-mail me if you want in. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ~ i'm lucky i can open the door and i can walk down the street AN YET. My posts end up about the things I try not to talk about usually. It's hard to talk sometimes, with all the words I need to avoid, my mouth ends up with nowhere else to go. But I did say I'd post if Ally posted. And then the wooly wharfing bunny bastard actually went on and DID it. Crikey. Abandon all hope or whatever. ~ unlucky i've got nowhere to go and so i follow my own feet Some people are brave. They know. I know. Emotional pain makes me cringe. Physical pain is okay to talk about. Psychic nausea, that apt description from some other sinister post, dizzies every mind. I was throwing up by the side of the street on my way home. Not cos I was drunk. I was just ill and my apartment was blocks away. It was a long walk (I frew up twice on the way). I had a revelation thinking about that post. That everything was making me sick the same way that my soul gets sick. ~ a choice is facing you a healthy dose of pain a choice is facing you as you stare though the rain It's when all the colours and musical words in the world just don't matter anymore, cos just the light and sound causes an unbearable need to VOMIT. The sole comfort is that it won't last forever. But the time is does last is going to be LONG. The most amazing thing about pain, I think, is the immediacy. For a time, feeling tormented to be kept alive in the world, feeling far too much, and then when it's over...how frighteningly easy it is to forget that time. ~ a choice is facing you but i choose to refrain for today tomorrow we'll be back in trouble again Sometimes I use physical pain to soothe emotional pain. My social worker has suggested that I should perhaps consider getting in touch with my feelings instead of using self-destructive behaviour. That made me smile. She said I have a Cheshire Cat grin. ~ dream one: you had a whole lot of fun with a comedian stop short of going all the way, you'll have to make it someday I meant it though. She takes care of me like no-one else ever did. I can't articulate it all. But I despair sometimes that anyone else ever will. Yeah...well, yeah. ~ why is this happening to you, you're not a child? why is this happening? you've too much on your mind On my 21st birthday, I did NOT get sick as expected. Everyone in the downtown bars and clubs loves you when you are young and drunk on your birthday from all the free drinks. Except a couple places. Reason demanded that some places took exception to my group. I was rude to one of them. Cos the bouncer merely said that there was a dress code and that my friend, with his nice shoes and tucked in dress shirt, did not conform to it. ~ things creep up on you when you are fast asleep you are dreaming, you are sleepy, you are stuck to the sheets But he would not specify which aspect needed conforming. It was darkly suspected that the shiny purple vinyl pants were not conforming to the "NO FAGS" code, but we carried on from there to a gay boy dance club where the pants were quite welcome. We danced even better than we had DDR'd that afternoon. ~ dream two you couldn't see her face, but you saw everything else dream two was pretty special, easily beats loving yourself In the toilets, I clung to the waist of the redhaired friend who had made me surprise birthday dinner of spaghetti and salad and a beautiful pink birthday cake with sprinkles and candles. A lovely 7 foot queen with fuschia braids said we must be twins or lovers to move together the way we did. My straight friend managed to find a straight boy for herself on the dance floor. ~ could you put a name to someone else's sigh? ally, amy applejacks, dannypie, gneissy, honey, kirsten, llew, maddie, mandee... ~ could you put a face to someone else's eyes? oranges, rich, rouss, sammich, stankin, sweetie, vel, zozipea AND SUCHLIKE. ~ but it all fades into morning when you open your eyes Nah, I remember everything. {understated yet charming multiple pelvic thrusts ...and something I dragged in just for the kitten-cat} paisley pssst! if sunnyset posts again, then i will also. yeah, that's a THREAT. _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: There's actually some content in this one. But it's not my fault.
by david hewitt 25 Feb '02

25 Feb '02

G'day Sinister: You might remember me from such emails as "Interminable Diary Post: Part XXIV" and "Quarter-Arsed Attempt to Make Myself Seem Witty and Interesting". But fear not! I'm merely popping my head in the door to hand-deliver a message from unquestionably our most sorely missed listee. Here it is: Good morning sinisterines, it's been a long time since I've spoken to you. The reason for this is mainly that the email address I was subscribed with disappeared, a sad prisoner of a server moving war. I hold out hope that it will be found alive, but it isn't looking good for jules(a)inebriated.cx. How sad, I was the only one subscribed to the list from Christmas Island. Anyway, the point of this post is that there's a Belle & Sebastian show in New York in May, and I think that calls for a picnic. After all, there will be several people from #sinister who will be in town that I've not met before, and I trust there will be several from the list too. I'd like to meet you. Besides, those Chicago kids are having a meetup and I'm jealous. Now, I need your opinion. My first instinct was to keep it in Central Park, but I do realize that this is inconvenient on a number of fronts. Prospect Park in Brooklyn has been suggested, due to 1) ability to place soccer there and 2) proximity to O'Connor's, a lovely bar, in the case of rain. Also, there is East River Park. Or some other park. My guess is that none of you will have an opinion, but as a hostess with the mostess it behooves me to try to get as many people to this damned picnic as possible. So if you're going to be in New York May 5 (for the show) and want to meet some truly lovely sinister people (myself included, but some even lovelier) and would like to meet up before the show, please email me and express an opinion on this mundane nitpicky matter! It's more than two months from the picnic, why am I stressing? Well I want everyone to be happy. Yes, I do. Please, email me at jules910(a)hotmail.com, and thank you for your attention. Rock on. xoxo Julie Oh, and I should add that it looks like I'll be able to be there myself, but don't let that put you off. I can certainly vouch for the loveliness of many of the local SiniSTARs you'll meet, and I'm very much looking forward to meeting YOU as well. I won't even bitch behind your back about that daft looking haircut, I promise. Well, not too much. What were you thinking, anyway? I'll be the mysterious stranger to whom you find yourself strangely attracted. Or the sweary drunken guy you're slightly embarrassed by. I can never remember which. Maybe I'll wear a badge of some kind. Bulk love, -David. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: i've packed a change of clothes and it's time to move on.
by lindsey baker 24 Feb '02

24 Feb '02

hello sinister. i have always believed that everything happens for a reason. so. there is a reason i have become addicted to dashboard confessional. there is a reason that it was first the swiss army romance during the wait, and the places you have come to fear the most after it has ended. again. nebraska lost a championship game or something. the newspaper is dismayed. the chinese shop was out of rice with brown sauce. or rather, just the brown sauce. none of the messages i left with my loving friends have been returned. yesterday was warm, almost balmy, and today the frigid february winds have returned with a vengeance, reminding me that sometimes sunshine is only false hope and a prelude to ... yeah. but at least my hair looks good. there was another boy at the coffee shop to soften the blow after The Call. he had wandered over to me earlier in the evening, to ask what i was writing. sat down when i said poetry. and then he was off, and i found out again that i have killer eyes and hair, and a mouth to write home about. i think they must think it's sexy, taking the small black box of wooden sticks out of my pale fingers, striking the flame, feeling the glorious tension before the rounded tip of the two-inch rectangle bursts into flame. holding the little fire out, shielding it with a clammy hand, getting that close to my quivering, tear-stained lips. and then, watching me suck the life out of the momentary addiciton, reaching for another before i get down to the filter. watching my killer eyes when i realize that addiciton isn't the same as passion after all, and ignoring the aftertaste. i hate this town. xxx lou _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: are cushions really that frightening?
by Caitlin Pigtails 24 Feb '02

24 Feb '02

I sat opposite the man, and tried to explain about my finances. I tried to explain why I've not had a job for months, and I tried to make him believe me. I don't think he cared. He didn't seem interested in anything apart from going through his how-to-talk-to-clients script. He had someone watching him, which can't have helped. A visiting woman, looking over us and checking that he was doing his job properly. I was trying to sign on the dole, you see. It isn't easy. It involves filling in an incredibly long form, practically a book. They still haven't written to tell me if I am going to be given anything, but in the meantime i have promised them i will go out and look for things. I don't have a bike to get on, though. Sometimes life seems all coherent, as if all the little patches have come together and are making sense. Sometimes, though, everything is broken up into parts and nothing gets done. My life has things in it, but none of them are important, and none of them fit with the others. Just, little episodes. I saw a family of deer the other day. That was one of the episodes. I was zooming out of Glasgow on the train, through all the lovely tower blocks. Just as you start to come into the countryside, there is a bunch of little-used railway sidings; and the other day, four deer were stood about there at the edge of the track, not at all bothered. At least, they didn't seem bothered as I flashed past at whatever miles-per-hour. Freeze-frame. I told the man I want to be a photographer. He said: "it's very hard. No jobs in it. Everyone and his dog wants to be a photographer." The other day I woke up at 4am, terrified. Next to me on my bed I keep a big furry cushion, with a brown-and-cream cowhide pattern. Sometimes, the cat sleeps on top of it. I woke up at 4am, terrified, because I knew that this cushion wanted to attack me. Well. It didn't *want* to, but it was going to do it whatever. The cushion was going to jump on top of my face and stop me breathing. I sat up in bed so that I didn't go back to sleep and give it another chance to get me. I told the man I wouldn't mind working with computers. "Ooh," he said, like a repairman making that sucking-in "this is going to cost you" noise. "lots of people want to do that. You need qualifications. You need career history. We don't see many job opportunities like that." I saw a fox, too, but it wasn't snowing. I was looking for some stuff, out of a shed. I opened up the shed, and inside there was a fox, climbing high up on top of cupboards and cabinets. he didn't run away in a panic; he gently let himself down to the ground, and wandered behind a pile of old electrical cables. I assume he had tunnelled under the walls; that shed had no proper floor. We have to just assume, I think, that our friends aren't going to let us down. Today's "Observer" had a big long profile of Helena Christensen. It contained this quote: "to this day, she can pontificate at great length on the relative merits of Arab Strap vs Belle & Sebastian," and I couldn't help thinking of Celebrity Deathmatch. Maybe I won't ever manage to get a job. I just want to do something I'm going to enjoy doing. It's time for bed. Hopefully, the cushions won't have that attack urge again. love xx caitlin +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Fanzines, Utterances, Cigarettes, Ken.
by idleberry 24 Feb '02

24 Feb '02

well, hello! Fancy seeing you here, long time since I've posted. I'm about to Finish working this Friday for the Financial services company I've been with For the past six months. I've become chummy with the IT bloke, and tried to convince him to get "Take your carriage clock and shove it" as the phone thing when you know, people are waiting for the phone, and they go on hold. The hold music, I think its called. But it didn't work. ho well. UsUally I come home from work and fall asleep for a few hoUrs. But I've been making an effort and going on sinister chat. we have sUch smUtty fUn. Its not big, its not clever, bUt it makes me laUgh. Ken will be Upset I'm sUre saying its not big. oops. Cigarettes have found their sneaky way baCk into my mouth again. I don't know why or how, just one day, I was sitting there, and boof, there was a Ciggie hanging from my lip. Never leave your lips unattended. I've also deCided to Continue writing my fanzine. I was going to throw it all in and Concerntrate on sleeping, but I got an interview out of Camera ObsCuras Gav, so thats inspired me. Its hard you know, keeping it going. I mean, SCotland has a handful of good fanzines already. and when theres this slight deterioration in the interest in the loCal sCene, how Can anyone keep it alive? its tough work you know. Knowing though, that there is very little in the mainstream publications for people liKe me, helps. I mean, all I have to do is picK up a copy of the NME and froth at the mouth at how rubbish it is. And when its got Kylie on the cover, you Know that there is no hope of them actually having some unKnown talent between the pages. Lets face it, there is no competition for indie fanzines. The NME is not an indie/underground/alternative publication. Its like being little saplings in a big forest. And theres a huge gap in the folliage above. The toughest bit, is Keeping up the determination, and just worKing away, and loosing money. Maybe you agree with Me. Enough alrEady. love, idles ===== http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/corduroysmoke and the world did get covered in a thick haze of corduroy smoke.
