(american) missconnections. ok i actually thought of putting in a missconnections in san francisco weekly. once i early 2000 i went to this warehouse party in oakland or something that my friend david dragged me to. you didn't like the bands that played there and i can't say i did either. your name was marcella i think. well i'm not sure, i was just a drunken swedish boy. frankly you were the only girl that ever approached me in the states and i cudos you for it, great admirer, i wish i was as brave. it's raining again. "c'mon champ, let's box" - stuart challanges stevie to a match but i don't think anyone noticed, but i thought and it was hilarious, ever noticed that stuart dances like he's rocky balboa ready to knock the lights out of mr t? it looks funny i think. i'm lost. johan ps: (japanese) missconnection; michiyo my friend are you still on this list? i have miss placed your email address :( psII: (american again) missconnections; sam, yah you sam! write me, i won't take you to your prom if you don't write me...! _________________________________________________________________ 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: i've got pictures of you in your underwear...
by Kelly Smith 18 Mar '02

18 Mar '02

...no, I haven't really. I just couldn't think of a subject line. Liz Daplyn said: Brixton. Belle and Sebastian IN THA GHETTO, innit. Yes indeed! I am looking forward to hangin' in da 'hood in a couple of weeks. Aye. Speaking of which, (a very weak link, I admit) I have ended up with a spare standing ticket for the Brixton show, so if anyone's interested, please email me. Hopefully someone will, or i'll be forced to pluck up the courage to sell it to a scary tout. Madeleine McNeil said: What does one occupy one's mind with while swimming up and down and up and down the pool? << Then Ken Chu said: I do wonder sometimes too tho what other people think about when they're doing something idle, like sitting on a train. This reminds me of a habit of mine. I like to sit on the tube and carefully survey the row of people sitting opposite me and then invent appropriate names for each of them. Then the train stops at a station, and one of the people i've been watching gets off. Then (the best bit), someone new sits down and I can start all over again. It makes commuting so much more tolerable. Fun, even. The only is problem is that I do tend to stare at people for a little longer than is polite. I'll say goodbye to you all for now. Hopefully I won't get told off for trying to cover up the fact that i'm trying to flog a ticket with a half-arsed post. with love, Kelly _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: The Twee Garage Revolution
by Sam Walton 18 Mar '02

18 Mar '02

Hello sinister. Ive decided that instead of being a Lazy Poster, which I was previously, Im now going to be an Active Lurker, not that it matters much. Im glad I cleared it up though. Now onto far more pressing matters. I was watching Top Of The Pops on Friday. Its not a regular thing for me I just happened to be flicking around the channels. Mo Fire Crew performed some UK Garage tosh, but it was really quite enchanting, because although theyre all probably hard as fuck, drive Audi TTs and rap about Bolly (I think thats what they were talking about but theyll never get anywhere if they dont *annunciate*), they were wearing Sylvester & Tweetie-Pie sweaters and hats, and spent the entire song clutching their nuts. This amused me greatly. Indeed, as another member of this parish remarked to me yesterday, viva the Twee Garage revolution stand by for a So Solid remix of Shoot The Sexual Athlete. If they dont do it, I will. You think Im joking Indeed, quite apart from Sinister people remarking to me about Twee Garage, yesterday was spent in quite a Sinister mode (hows that for a segue?). The afternoon was passed at my first Sinister Fitba match, and splendid fun it was too. Deft skills were demonstrated by six listees (or ex-listees Im not sure), and I turned up too. It was a hard fought game, and I can say very proudly that the other team won because during the next-goal-wins-because-all-of-a-sudden-its-pissing-it-down-and-I-could-really-murder-a-pint stage of the game I managed to score an own goal in quite spectacular fashion OFF MY ARSE. Anyway, enough content. Irritatingly, Ive discovered that the new Travis song is rather good. Peculiarly, it has all the ingredients of any normal Travis song non-sensical/repetitive lyrics, really naff rhyming and more Byrds-pastiche than you can shake a Aphex Twin record at, but despite all this its quite wonderful. Im slipping, I tell you, Im slipping next Ill be saying that the new Oasis song is good. Irritatingly, the new Oasis song isnt too repellent either. Mind you then again, Ive always held a torch that Oasis will one day come good again, and this might just be the time Enough, I tell you, enough.

Sinister: Get tea and cakes from here, I'm buying
by Kenneth P Y Chu 18 Mar '02

18 Mar '02

Hello Sinister, I ate a bacon sandwich at work today, and in stark realisation I'd discovered that bacon sandwiches and Belle & Sebastian share the same initials, and they're both great. Not all things B+S are great tho. A few weeks back, whilst I was at work I noticed that my boss came in wearing a shirt that had B.S. written on it... "Wow! My Boss is a fellow BSPD!" I thought, then moments later I worked out that it actaully stood for "Ben Sherman". Speaking of items of clothings.. Our Willy Porter talked about his fashionable Polka Dotted Willy Supporter, and then said.. >>1. Inasmuch as 'you' consists exclusively of you, and 'I' consists utterly >>of me (or is it I?), then 'us' (we?) is really just a kind of aggregate of >>you and I. Chemically speaking, a mixture and not a compound.<< I think it is classed as a compound, when there is bondage involved. My chemistry teacher made me laugh one time when he tried to explain to us the idea of "bond cleavage" in a lesson on NMR spectroscopy (I think), maybe I was being childish when I thought about Porno films, but then, the name of the teacher in question was "Mr. Long". I mean for heaven's sake. Archel Foreplay said: >>one prominent message on my desk read: 'THE WHO Live at the Hammersmith >>Odeon'.. i couldn't work out why anyone would state that a rock band lived >>at the hammersmith odeon.. it wasn't until about a year later that i >>noticed ... that 'live' was an adjective, NOT a verb.<< maybe it wasn't about The Who at all, but it was about the Trinity Hammersmith Evangelists, who live at the Hammersmith Odeon. They live there in order to try and shephard the lost souls away from the evils, of witchcraft movies such as "The Sixth Sense" and "Harry Potter", and thus lead them back onto the path to the good house that is the T.H.E. church. On the doors of most London Underground trains, there's a label that says "Please keep away from The Doors" and once I wondered for a while what their problems with Jim Morrison were, and then I wondered if I was being a bit silly. eeeee fumblings posted - sini digest haiku style - i wasn't in it. I think it's because, my writings are not really.. very haiku-like. Haikus and Red Bulls Ken P.S.: When will Archel Playforth bring forth a nice surprise to us all - discuss. P.S.2.: When will the Rachels, RobBobs, Wills (still there?), Chriss (still there?) bring Ken mixtapes - discuss. X-box: When will Ken send out his Christmas Exchange presents and other tapes - discuss. Gamecube: SOON! I promise. _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: sinister haikus revealed // week ten // two thousand and two
by ee fumblings 18 Mar '02

18 Mar '02

Ive been reading a collection of Japanese senryu poetry. This is how I came to own a Belle Sebastian tea towel. I think. Knowing how to say padova ya padovnayen certainly can't hurt. I said, you are all talk and then action. And then talk again. It's true. God. This internet cafe is playing the most terrible music. I just...can't. On the plane yesterday, I watched the Royal Tenenbaums. Royal Tenenbaums. It lacks something on a inch screen in pan and scan. How twee is that? I'll still buy you a pint when you move to London 'tho. New York, NY told me I'd meet a man with the name David very soon. So far, no good. Where is my David? Will keep you posted (can you wait?). I will ever feel adult. And then I think I won't ever want to. We knew each other well. We could read each other like an open book. He knew when I was too tired or worried to talk reasonably. It was my news site for all the good indie news and album reviews. President's War on Terror in Iraq and God knows where else. Yemen. Miss Madeleine was asking how to occupy your mind whilst swimming. Discussions are lost amid the fray before they really get started. I think. Also it is about how the world is bigger than you think. I haven't told you it before I have, but not from this point of view. Want to prove to those who say you can't have what you want that they are wrong. In my life, things keep getting better and then worse again and so on... York is just too far away. And I got a bit scared, to be honest. Scotland!! The land of Belle and Sebastian!! And she wasn't scary at all. I have faith god is on my side. Were we worried? Well of course we were. I can't remember myself thinking it won't be good, not even once. I went back to Greece and told my mum, and all she did was say okay. And now not only did I have my idea I had some money. Somehow my mum just knows these things because as it turns out she was right. We have booked our tickets for the London and Edinburgh gigs. I would. Right, this must be my most serious post, ironic really. Dear all Sinister is a place which is dear to many people's hearts. B&S's songs and write down how the sung lyrics differed from the published ones. TWELVE Are Frank Lloyd and Amanda related? I think we should be told. It would be nice to have a famous architect in the family. I either think things over in my mind, or I sing songs to myself. TWENTY-FIVE Most of you wouldn't care if I left the list, I know that. MYSTERIOUSLY HAS A SECTION MISSING. I think a sheep ate it. I think a sheep ate it. And I can't remember what I said, either. Punctuation. I mean. When will he be back? From the Czech Republic. So the moral of that story? English teachers need more real-life sex. Dear all Sinister is a place which is dear to many people's hearts. It's good stuff, I got a copy for like off of some used book site. m. LOOK. a bit boyish, maybe, in my monkey-print pajama bottoms. Russian waitress to play one of his aardvarck cd's over the speakers. I was listening to my new and excellent Mum remix cd*. Weighs a ton, too. Still, good cameras age well if you treat them nicely. The play of the light on water as one pours it into a vessel. Yesterday though, i got my Belle and Sebatian ticket through the post. Yorkshire hill. It would be false, but a dramatic pictue anyway. I was missing. Loved Brunswick Street, with all of its faults and vanities. St Pauls waiting for our friends to come out of the exhibition. Adelaide gets no respect, I tells ya. Harumph. That's it, I'm moving. I'm moving. Oh dear, I meant this to be short, and already it's not. PS: I get to see Belle and Sebastian in New York on the 5th. I turned to the French section to look up a word beginning with L. When I looked in my dictionary I looked for J but it wasn't there. There weren't any Js Ks or Ls (I DO know my alphabet). Jeebus, the two of them together could topple empires. Ok. Janet Weiss. Ah, but it's also Sam Coombes. Makin a lovely racket. I don't perpetrate too much of a hipster fraud with my Rock tangent. Benicassim, but I have no information about their past shows. London show was like an amalgam of the Leeds and Nottingham gigs. So I wouldn't hold out much hope of them playing it when you see them. Benicassim, but I have no information about their past shows. Anyway, gonna head just now, and do some stuff before its too late. // ee fumblings // +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: fall on your face in those bad shoes...
by Amy Skelton 18 Mar '02

18 Mar '02

Hello Sinister, Hope everyone is keeping well. Thanks to everyone that responded to my La Tomatina post and apologies to those I havent e-mailed in a while - you know who you are. Fernando - of course you should keep fancying going along - you know it makes sense! I made sure I left the house early this morning before the post came. Im getting a bit scared to open it in case I see another mug shot of myself. Once in a while is o.k. but in two U.K, publications in a week - frightening! The first was a spot the ball style competition from the netball games at Frank Morton. This was in a Chemical Engineering journal and thankfully only a few people can work out which one I am saving me from mass embarrassment. Not so lucky with the second one - its a full frontal (easy there kids) of me in a hard hat grinning like a loon whilst bricklaying last summer. That was for the Waterway Recovery Group canal camps brochure. For those of you that dont know WRG is a voluntary group that helps restore canals and its loads of fun (grief Im starting to plug, but it is great and more people should get involved). My only regret is that I cant drive a JCB excavator for them until Im 25 - only a few years to go then! If I want to avoid getting those funny pockets under my eyes when I smile then I need to try and put on a false face, but hey nobody likes a faker. Maybe thats the comedy piccy that I should put on the Sinister web-site. While I'm sitting at the computer I keep finding more cuts on my feet, all from my department ball on Saturday. Being extremely drunk and wearing heels and a P.J. Harvey style dress - a dangerous combination on any day of the year. Back to the design project then... ...Amy _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: hello i'm tim o tei the annoying irish man
by Jonathan Skinner 18 Mar '02

18 Mar '02

dear all i hope this finds you all in fine fettle-tis saint paddys weekend and i am here recovering from the delights of green guinness. For me the spring always starts this weekend-summer is in sight the teachers are all in good moods and the sun shines for at least some part of the day. At school it is even considered warm enough to go out to little cuba. For the sake of explanation little cuba is a socialist enclave in our facist regime of school outside where in the late spring/early summer and early autumn we sit through lunch time (And sometimes through class) where we all sit and talk and laugh and play with diablos(Whch is the best hippy invention ever.) This means that in but 8 weeks i will be able to settle into my normal summer regime of sitting in the peace park in town with friends or with a book or just a minidisc and a smile watching people or sat in OZ-CORK of fellini's whilst sipping an esspresso or a hot chocolate whist again people watching. but shpring has shprung and i am in a happy mood at least for a while. There is nothing better than getting of the bus and into the warm streets where people are nice and relaxed only to sit in your favourite park or cafe / coffee house and be relaxed yourself. Wellity wellity wellity only 3 weeks before i gander to paris on a fact finding mission with my brother who being the lucky bastard he is-is moving out there for the summer and maybe more with his cousin so we are going to sit in cafes and loook at apartments and perhaps going sightseeing (well no perhaps about it even though it is a bit of a cliche)-So if anyone is outhere fancy a meet up - we are there from the 18th-23rd april on ridiculously cheap ryanair tickets (? 25 return). so if anyone fancys a post post post post gig meet up perhaps in apark if sunny or in a cafe if not please email me off list. I am so flucking jealous of people going to see belle and sebastian agian-i think they should play dublin (or even better our local community centre ) where i give them my word that we will run background checks on all the audience to make sure there are no tossers like there were in the april of 99 (eek nearly 3 years-scary)-unfortunatly with exams and perhaps that ruddy thing called finances are keeping me from attending any of them even though i have the oppertunity of tickets to the toronto gig which fumes me greatly. I suppose i should really apoligise about my previous post-i did agree with *******carter but it doesn't mean i don't love any of you any less i just get pissed off sometimes with the year i am in etc but all will change in june i hope. Right i suppose i should really get back to *Studying* on this delightful bank holiday where it is raining and i have mild hangover ****Staralful***** ps-see you next weekend E from edinburgh at a certain partay in a certain city after a certain godspeed gig (That is if you still subscribe +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: slow graffiti
by R.Playforth＠sussex.ac.uk 18 Mar '02

18 Mar '02

reading (and thinking) about belle and sebastian playing live suddenly reminded me of a puzzling incident from my childhood. back in the days before we got those shiny flat tables with metal legs, my school was equipped with proper slanty desks with inkwells and pencil grooves. and a decade's worth of graffiti. in my day the trend was towards decorating your desk with tippex flowers, but there were plenty of traditional scrawls and gouges in the soft wood. one prominent message on my desk read: 'THE WHO Live at the Hammersmith Odeon'. i thought i knew who had written it - a girl called amber in the year above with a taste for black eyeliner and retro rock music. but i was baffled by the actual meaning - i couldn't work out why anyone would state that a rock band lived at the hammersmith odeon. it was obviously some kind of symbolic assertion that i was too uncool to understand. almost involuntarily, i began to imagine the band living in a cinema, sleeping on the seats, setting up their drums in front of the screen, making cups of tea in the huge echoey space. i thought of it as a protest, an occupation, or perhaps they had nowhere else to live, having spent all their money on loose cars and fast women. it wasn't until about a year later that i noticed the correct syntax of the graffiti, that 'live' was an adjective, NOT a verb. this pretty much sums up what a gauche little idiot i was back then and, perhaps, how my imagination made up for it. this morning i wanted to cast lots of crush votes. just because it's raining, and it would make people feel good, and i don't like to think of them writing wonderful posts into a void. but i didn't. i would feel oddly unfaithful (though i don't seem to feel any compunction about flirting rampantly in #sinister, for some reason.) i'll just spread general 'amae' instead (while knowing full well that my definition of that word wasn't quite accurate, but what the hell, it's a foreign word and we can abuse it to our own ends if we like, pretentious melodramatic teens and post-teens that we are.) as i sit behind my slightly claustrophobic desk, on my slightly uncomfortable chair, bored out of my skull already at 9.45am, i am comforted to think of will porter in another library far far away, having unending non-specific sex in his lime green pants. i went to see a play on wednesday featuring a manic-depressive librarian and her love affair with the dewey decimal system. i was hooked straight away. during the course of the play she explained to a chaotic wannabe comedian that the dewey system was beautiful in its inclusiveness, that there was no conceivable subject that didn't find a home within its walls. and that it helped you to see connections everywhere. luv archel xxx ****************** Visit www.buzzwords.ndo.co.uk for the best new writing on the web.

Sinister: "I, so many times, the wind blows through my eyes."
by ola szkudlapska 18 Mar '02

18 Mar '02

..ooh the wind was quite strong yesterday. in his usual playful mood, too - either pushing me from behind, making me walk with twice my usual speed, or messing up my hair. i don't really like having my hair messed up, but ah well, let the child play; so many people hid from him indoors, he was bound to get bored. the title quote is by a lovely band called Misty Dixon by the way :) dear Sinister, this post will mainly be about walking. walking and Waking Up (*hint*hint* only two more words and.. ;) it was at the end of february i think. i left my winter hibernation behind and started to view things differently(!) the sun has had something to do with it, i'm sure - it has the power to make all things seem worthwhile somehow. i'm being silly perhaps. however, all my low low moods seem to accumulate in the autumn and disappear in spring. not completely, but they seem quite overwhelmed by the unusual brightness and hide deep in my mind. they go to sleep perhaps. /smile/ one moment lingers in my mind. going up the escalator, leaving the dark tube station, hello sunshine! it was warm and lovely, i had 'sleep the clock around' on my walkman, and somehow it was the most appropriate song. i felt i could 'make things happen', as miss zoziepop so nicely put in one of her mails. yay! "there's a lot to be done while your head is still young, lalala" "why aren't you learning at all then?? you'll fail all your exams &THEN you'll have a lot to do!" "oh, but some things (like irc ;) are just so much more funnn.." did i mention that everywhere is full of tulips all of a sudden? it's practically impossible to go out and *not* encounter at least one vendor selling the gorgeous flowers. mmm how lovely :) one late afternoon i was coming back home, passing the horror office block in which my father spends numerous hours working for his stupid boss (who looks like a ball with limbs. gah.) normally the building is navy-blue, sometimes even black, and looking very sombre - but that day it was silvery grey. for a moment it stopped being an unfriendly eyesore, mainly because one could hardly tell it apart from the sky, but still.. i saw 'vanilla sky' on saturday. the film is quite pish, (or maybe it's the fact that i, hmm, let's say 'strongly dislike' tom cruise), but mmm the soundtrack. *says 'mmm' again music obsessives shouldn't go to see movies together, that's the conclusion i arrived at. what happens is that at the end of the film you don't ask the other person if he/she liked it, you go 'hey, was that last song by sigur rós??', and your eyes twinkle with excitement. i was quite sure, but wanted to be HYPERsure, so i made my mate stay to the very end, the actors' names gliding through the screen, crew members, sponsors, i could hardly sit still! but there it was at last, 'njosnavelin' (or 'the nothing song', but 'njosnavelin' just looks so much better ;-) a sigur rós song i had heard just once before wrapped me tightly in that wonderful state i sometimes get when coming back from a good gig. everything seems somewhat irrelevant then; i'm walking home, passing buildings and people, but they can't enter my tiny piece of (un)reality, there's just space for me and the echo of music (oh, and sometimes a stupid grin that gets stuck to my face and won't come off that easily. mm, really stupid.) music can get one drunk better than a good drink, sometimes. oh, and tom cruise saying 'Looper' is quite hilarious too. /laughs/ this got too long, and i have to go! take care everyone (+viva rachels!), olalala ps. apologies to everyone whom i haven't e-mailed (despite saying i would, tut tut). i'm sorry for being awful. psps. special hugs to 2 happy people in the netherlands and secret hugs to a certain person, for whom morning starts way past noon. /smile/ -- Określ Swoje potrzeby - my znajdziemy ofertę za Ciebie!
