Sinister: you've been go for some time, but i fear you'll be here oh no again
by lindsey baker 15 Mar '02

15 Mar '02

hello sinister. i wasn't planning on posting again so soon, after my gigantic (albeit probably rather confusing) last post. but today, i am craving the sound of keys typing, and i cannot write enough to satiate the need. i think there is a reason i have chosen sinister to be the victim of my wannabe-literary torture, and it is a small and simple one. today, i crush-voted. this was the second time (hi owen.) i have wiped my plams on the thighs of my faded, cuffed jeans to quell slippery fingers and sent the little, near-empty email body to the elusive miss crush. waited with baited breath for the password. diligently typed in the necessary combination of words and address and pushed send, noting that hotmail sent it off with lightning speed. i have said before that democratic loving is problematic, and perhaps it is. it leaves you feeling suspended, nervous, sending a message of something -- because it is most likely not love, but a liking, an infatuation and an actualization of tangible hope -- out into the void, where it will land in the unsuspecting lap of someone you have most likely never met, and may never meet. maybe it's someone who puts words together in such a fashion as to make the world stop turning, make the harsh, detached glare of a computer screen melt away, make you feel like the internet is really only a big gathering of people waiting somewhere in a long line, shivering because it's probably cold, clutching belle and sebastian tickets for a pending show. and the words wrap around you like the big yellow blanket you slept with as a girl, used for a cape when brandishing a hot pink, plastic sword and screaming 'she-ra, princess of power' at the top of your lungs in the freshly cut-grass of your springtime backyard. and then. you say something. under the guise of an invisible middle-man gone matchmaker, and you wait, i think, not necessarily for the proper response but rather a response of your own, a feeling to become felt. i am still leary of crush-voting, though i love getting votes. i love the small streak of happiness that usually overrides my morning oh-god-i-have-to-face-another-day streak of nausea, and i keep them all, though i usually never find out who sent them to me. i question them, i think, for the reasons sent. maybe the intentions behind them. because when i send them, i suppose i never quite know what drives me, and i have never been able to pinpoint the exact fluttering feeling i get when i press the mouse button. but the feeling is a good one. and today. i have become misty. the blinking cursor is waiting for me to say something of importance, but all i can say is this: i got a match. xxx love, lou _________________________________________________________________ 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: rumours...
by Brandt Fundak 15 Mar '02

15 Mar '02

hi all. i was wondering the following things: 1. does anyone know who the openers for belle and sebastian are in toronto, detroit or chicago? the kool haus site lists that the Faint will be opening, but the saddle creek site says the faint will be nowhere near toronto (austin, TX) on may 8th. anyway, i just like to know who's entertaining/wasting my time before i see what i want to. Aisler's Set would have been ideal, but it looks they won't be hitting the midwest. 2. are belle and sebastian going to be on Conan? When? I need to set that VCR. also, are they planning on doing any appearances on say, much music? I have that in my cable package and video tapes cost next to nothing. 3. any more info on that VCD that's supposed to be coming out? and more to the point, will it play on my region 1 dvd player? thanks for the enlightment. brandt ===== "Selma, Jub Jub is fantastic!

Sinister: ...and in second place...
by robin stout 15 Mar '02

15 Mar '02

I bet on Rhinestone Cowboy to win and he came SECOND! Grrr! Carsmile, you'll pay for this! I've begun to take French lessons so yesterday I went into town to buy a French-English Dictionary. When I got home I pulled open the pages excitedly and began looking up stupid words like combine harvester*! Then I turned to the French section to look up a word beginning with L. But L didn't exist! The dictionary went straight from I to M; from page 144 to 177. Quelle horreur! I was shocked, no, gutted! Le dictionaire, c'est bollocks! Well, I've decided to write a letter of complaint about it to Collins, to see if I can get some free books from them. I complained to Usborne books when I was little about a code in the "Good Spy Guide to Codes and Ciphers" which I spent a week trying to decipher before realising it was nonsense. They sent back a letter of apology and a yellow balloon with a hole in it. So here's my letter of complaint. Its designed to make Collins feel guilty and give me free things. Do you think I should send it? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Dear Mr Collins I am 12 years old and have just begun French lessons at school. Our teacher Miss Glum told us we must buy a French dictionary so we could look up words. Today we had a lesson on how to use your dictionary and Miss Glum told me to look up the word Jambon. When I looked in my dictionary I looked for J but it wasnt there. The dictionary went straight from I to M. There werent any Js Ks or Ls (I DO know my alphabet). I told the teacher but she thought I was making fun of her and made me see the headmaster. He made me stand by a tree with a book on my head for half an hour. I almost cried then, but if I did the book would have fallen off and he would have hit me. I cried when I got home though. I dont ever want to go to school again! I hate Miss Glum! I hate you too and your stupid dictionary! Robin (age 12) PS: Jambon is Ham, by the way, my dad told me that tonight, but its too late now, isnt it???!!! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Do you think sending this letter would be BAD? I want to get as many free things as I can but I dont want any teachers being sacked. Hmm. Suggestions would be welcome.

Sinister: you're the apple of my eye
by david hewitt 15 Mar '02

15 Mar '02

G'day Sinister. As far as irrelevant, overly personal, and downright lengthy posts go, I've probably got more to apologise for than most, so I'll do so now. Sorry. I'll spare you my ridiculous diary entries from now on, and attempt to limit myself to content, smut and teasing. I'm pleased Lindsey Baker is keepin' on keepin' on, though. See seems to be living her life on the pages of a well-written book, and I'm keen to see whether it has a happy ending. Or one of those pervy sealed bits in the middle with nudey photos in them. It's the least she deserves. Others who have recently excelled in the field of being great include Miss Dimitra and Miss Rachel Sunnyset. I haven't posted since Rachel wrote that story about how she always checks for her keys, but I thought it was one of the better things I'd ever read at the time, and I still do now, so I may as well still mention it. Hats off. In the spirit of turning over a new leaf (and also because the account's full), I'm using a different (and slightly politer) email address from now on. So if you're one of those people that sometimes likes to email me - please reply to this address rather than the smelly old one. Or, if you're not one of those people, you can become one if you like. Belle and Sebastian are great; I still really think so. They have a quality shared by only the very best bands, which is that my favourite songs by them keep changing, months and years after having first heard them. I've recently dipped back into them fairly extensively, and in a more melancholy frame of mind than I've been in when they've appealed to me in the past. For example: 'Beautiful' used to be my least favourite song on 369, and it's only just struck me how amazing a song it really is. I would have heard it dozens of times, and I always quite liked it, but I only really 'got it' the other day when I was hanging out my socks to dry. Not many records I own can keep these sorts of gems hidden up their sleeves for so long. If you played my current record collection to me five years ago, you'd have been laughed at, I think. Probably fairly impolitely. There isn't much that you can't admit to liking these days - it's all wide open. It wasn't that long ago when you couldn't even admit to liking the Beach Boys, and now they 're the pinnacle of cool. You can admit to liking Destiny's Child amongst fashionable and knowledgeable sorts and they'll say 'Oh yeah, I can see that '. I never thought I'd like country music, but I've slowly slid from country-influenced and alt.country sounding indie music into records that really can't be called anything but country. Just country. The teenage me would be cringing with embarrassment. Everything comes back - I'm never discarding any music ever again. I listened to ELO and Dr Hook at a mate's place the other night, and I saw (well, heard) merit in it. A mate of mine has recently become obsessed with Neil Young. He played me a song of his the other day that I don't know the title of, but had heard a lot when I was growing up. I knew some of the words, even. I'd heard it enough to be familiar with it, but I'd never really given it a proper listen. It was actually really amazing. Earnest is the new irony. I don't think anything's unfashionable any more, other than perhaps insisting on limiting yourself to what you consider credible - the only things you used to allow yourself. There's no longer a need to appear to be taking the piss when drawing reference or inspiration. This could be part of a broad trend, or it could just be that some important filter in my brain has broken, and my taste is spiralling downhill. Keep an eye on me, perhaps, chums. Sophia Katrina said: "we could all drive to whichever point is equidistant to perth, brisbane, sydney and melbourne" Adelaide gets no respect, I tells ya. Harumph. That's it, I'm moving. Oh dear, I meant this to be short, and already it's not. I'll let you get on, then. Be good. Bulk love, -Vanilla Flavoured David (formerly St. Ankin of Cooter) PS: I get to see Belle and Sebastian in New York on the 5th. Woohoo! I'll be at the picnic too, so you should ALL come. You'll love me, I promise. PPS: The fact that I get to see Belle and Sebastian at all is due to the outrageous generosity and hospitality of our very wonderful (and totally cute) NYC picnic hostess: the completely inimitable Miss Julie. So I'll take this opportunity to send her an enormous public THANKYOU, so you all know that she's the absolute tops. Although many of you probably didn't need to be told. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: falling down like...
by Ian Watson 15 Mar '02

15 Mar '02

Amy, You asked about the Spanish tomato festival. It's called the Tomatina and is held in Bunol near Valencia sometime in August. I've never been but it looks a lot safer than that business in Pamplona. I'm learning Spanish at the moment at an evening class in London. If I ever find out what the Spanish is for laundrette, I'll let you know. There, my first post. Not that hard really, was it? Ian ps - to Sophie from St Kilda. I know you're feeling frustrated, like you're stuck at the edge of the world and that there are so many many things to be ashamed of...but really, it's the same up here too. We have an outrage to match every one of yours and an out of sight out of mind policy to rival the forgetting you talk about. All I know is: as much as you wish you were in London or Manchester or Glasgow or wherever, I wish with every fibre of my being that I was in St Kilda. I spent six days in Melbourne a month back on holiday and loved it so much. Loved getting the tram to the Sodastream show in Richmond and having to leave early in the pouring rain and the electric storm to get the last tram back. Loved wandering down towards Luna Park and stumbling upon people filming Secret Life Of Us (the business type guy who went out with the blonde girl was with the new girlfriend and a pram - I was ridiculously excited). Loved Flinders Street station, under the clocks, wondering if I should know my Liberty Belle better and that there was a lyrical reference I was missing. Loved Brunswick Street, with all of its faults and vanities. Loved the four seasons, loved the city, loved it all. Which, as my girlfriend so rightly points out, was just us having a holiday romance with a place and a time. But it still doesn't mean that I don't feel physically sick (homesick almost) typing these words. How can you feel homesick for a place you spent six days in? It doesn't make sense. About a week after coming home, after spending a further nine days in Sydney and feeling utterly upside down at the first glance of the Opera House, we went to the Warhol Exhibition at Tate Modern. I was surprised at how much I was affected by some of Andy's works, but the real high point of the night was sitting in a pub opposite St Pauls waiting for our friends to come out of the exhibition. When we were in Sydney, Adrienne said about the Opera House: "Look, people probably go jogging past that every day and don't give it a second glance." And here we were killing time opposite one of the most gorgeous parts of London, floodlit just for us. The Spanish for opposite is "enfrente". I remember this by thinking about Frente, who did that cover of "Bizarre Love Triangle" and then extending it. Not such a lonely world after all. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: a NYC plea
by Mark Casarotto 14 Mar '02

Dear sinister, I've already made one illegal post this week so here's another, in the hope that Linda will slap me: ********** Does anyone here have a spare ticket for either, or ideally both, New York B&S gigs on the 5th and 6th May? ********** If so, a very, very grateful Englishman who has just rather impulsively bought a return flight to JFK will buy you drinks and tell cute girls/boys (delete as appropriate, or, if I know you lot, don't delete at all) how fantastic in the sack you are.

Sinister: On wearing beige mittens.
by Dairy Fairy 14 Mar '02

14 Mar '02

Hello, I haven't written for a while. Not because I haven't been bothered, or nervous or anything. I just haven't felt like I've had many sentences in me. Yesterday though, i got my Belle and Sebatian ticket through the post. It made me feel in one of those moods where you have to listen to everything of one band. I did it with Simon and garfunkel a week or so ago. Anyway, I started listening to them when i walked home from college. I usually go all lazy and get a taxi, and i would say i felt inspired by the way the air was worth tasting again and the hill was glowing. But really, i just had no money in my wallet. It takes me an hour to walk home, and part of it is across fields, so you can paint your own picture of the wooden hut I live in on a bleak Yorkshire hill. It would be false, but a dramatic pictue anyway. And I was walking this walk, feeling like Maria Von Trapp, and surprisingly wanting to spin aroung in circles overlooking the valley. Tigermilk was helping, and I was listening to We Rule the School and almost convincing myself that i was the type of person who could rule a school were it not for the rest of the people in it. I'm using the past continuous here, so you can tell I'm building up to something. Anyway, I climbed over a stile and wooooooops. There was four elderly ladies squatting behind the wall answering their individual calls of nature. I was fairly mortified, and had to clamber back to the other side of the wall whilst they made themselves respectable. However, I am also very infantile, and was secretly amused. In fact, i felt very much as if I was in a film ca! lled Carry on in the Country, or suchlike. Only that would probably be beastial porn, and not half as quaint as grannies peeing. That isn't all i'm writing for. As I said i got my manchester ticket, and it is standing so i can try and imitate struan's twee dancing. I don't know Manchester very well, although I have applied for uni there, so I can make myself think it is an educational trip. I may even bring a pad of paper and pen and make notes on the pros and cons of the cities. I may not though since I would look odd making a tally of number of boys wearing cardigans, cafes that look like they wouldn't mind you spending an aternoon in them and pubs that don't look at me oddly when i ask for a vodka and ginger beer. mm. famous five but a bit naughty. cheerio, Grace --- And she spent the rest of the day separating the bits from the marmalade, or, if you prefer, the marmalade from the bits.

Sinister: Dreaming of red bulging juicy tomatoes....
by Amy Skelton 14 Mar '02

14 Mar '02

Hello all, Kirsten mentioned dreaming of tomato trucks. I once saw (the end of) a clip on a travel show showing an annual festival somewhere in Spain where people have one great big tomato fight in the streets of the town - it looked like complete stupid carnage and every now and then I like a bit of craziness! I would love to go to this festival but strangely enough none of my friends seem keen when I mention it to them. Does anyone know the details - place, date etc. and more to the point do any sinisterites fancy going along? Speaking of impulse decisions, the event I was supposed to be going to yesterday evening got cancelled at the last minute and my head said - Go to Newcastle for the evening and watch Milky Wimpshake and dance stupidly at The Walk - so I did and it was lots and lots of fun. Didnt make it back for my lectures in Sheffield this morning though but never mind. In fact my hangover is making it too difficult to type so Ill bid you farewell... Take care... ...Amy _________________________________________________________________ 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: unfocussed
by Liz Daplyn 14 Mar '02

14 Mar '02

Can't remember who wrote this haiku, but it's great. Cold frosty morning Sparrows sitting together Without any necks The magnolia trees are in bloom, but I fear for the flowers' future over a cold and windy Welsh weekend. It's only from this time on that one notices magnolias, as their bare trunks are a bit twiggy and nondescript, although individual branches are nicely sinuous. Presumably they grow much better in the west of *Great* Britain than in the east, as I don't remember seeing many when I was living in Kent. Sweeping generalisation from paltry personal experience! Still, it's more humid here (understatement), which might account for it. "Scent of magnolia, sweet and fresh; Then a sudden smell of burning flesh; Pastoral scenes of the gallant South, The bulging eyes and the twisted mouths." Not very nice, but "Strange Fruit" is a sad and beautiful song, and never more so when sung by Robert Wyatt, in my biased opinion. You may mutter of Billie Holiday, but I stick with the old man, if only in homage to his version of "Shipbuilding": more tales of social injustice. Must buy some Elvis Costello rather than just listening to covers of it, but I haven't got around to it yet. Kieran said: <<Ive been told, too, that if you take photos from inside a bus, the camera will focus on the pane of plexiglass in the window, rather than the intended target, which will appear in fuzzy soft focus at the back of the photo. How sad.>> Having made a practise over the past few years of taking photos from buses, kindly heed my *wisdom* O People. 1) Get a decent camera with manual focus! That is, if you can find one that isn't computerised to the nth these days. I got my lovely SLR some time ago second-hand, and it was fairly ancient then. Weighs a ton, too. Still, good cameras age well if you treat them nicely. 2) Unless you're careful with your angles, you'll pick up reflections from the insides of the windows, particularly if it's a dull day. But sometimes that can be good, as you get interesting ghosts of the people on the bus superimposed on the exterior view. 3) Oh, and you should use a fast film, as, well, buses are moving moderately speedily in general. Like. Of course, I'm too swanky to travel on buses these days :) Trains are the way to go. But I do like the National Express for its comfy squalor. The drawback is that on a journey of any duration one is pretty much bound to go through or change at Birmingham bus station, which mings like the biggest badger you ever did see. Was listening to the Catchers in the car this morning. Early 90s jangly pop, gotta love it. Nearly as fey as the Field Mice, but more, well, Irish. And the REM influence in the vocal lines is almost comically apparent, but it's still great. Ooh, nostalgia for something that I wasn't that aware of at the time. I was more interested in Green Day, tragically. But these things are sent to try us. Hmmm why am I so conscious of nasty green small hatchbacks these days? Brixton. Belle and Sebastian IN THA GHETTO, innit. Caitlin me duck, pink nail varnish goes with _simply everything_. I'm going nowhere fast. Love to you all, but especially *you* Liz :x *** 97. Things that give a clean feeling An earthen cup. A new metal bowl. A rush mat. The play of the light on water as one pours it into a vessel. A new wooden chest.
