Sinister: My horoscope was nowhere near perfect.
by idleberry 06 Mar '02

06 Mar '02

Everything was fine yesterday. This time yesterdy, I was happy, and dancing round my room to Camera Obscura, having tidied my room. Now, I'm sitting in an intercafe, I look like I've been dragged through a hedge backwards, with the Edinburgh wind and rain been tearing out my hair. Didn't make a difference to me though. Split up with my boyfriend of nearly 3 years last night (who is on this mailing list.). Parents gave me the third degree (they adore him) and now I'm on my way to stay at my friends place. I had two hours sleep, and threw up three times last night. I started a new temping job today, not that I felt up to it. I was supposed to go to a job interview at lunchtime, but have postponed it until tomorrow. They've just played Maria by Blondie. I pulled Mark one night, while they plyed that song, and everything was perfect, and its the first place, since that night, I've heard it played in public. I don't think my bedroom counts as a public place. I don't mind telling you I've lost all sense of dignity, and did all the things I've vowed never to do. Todays horoscope: Libra: You musn't take sides- instead you should do whats necessary to stop people arguing with each other. Read a book and you'll be amazed what you discover. idleberry xx ===== http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/corduroysmoke and the world did get covered in a thick haze of corduroy smoke.

Sinister: baaaahston
by stacey dahling 06 Mar '02

06 Mar '02

My ass is sore. Maybe that's because i've been sitting on it, doing next to nothing, for almost a week now. Yes, pathetic. I have been applying for jobs. I have. I just haven't gotte one yet. but there is hope. I got called to interview for a bookstore job. Possibly as music director. Woo hoo! Thanks to all those who sent me sympathy for the parental situation. Luckily, I dropped them off at the airport Friday and don't pick them up again till Saturday evening. So the place is littered with beer bottles and garbage and this gives me an odd sense of satisfaction. I'm having an odd age conflict somewhere deep inside. Some days I feel downright high school; living at home, asking to borrow my dad's car, moping in my room, feeling like I'm being smothered, dreaming of escape. For my 25th birthday, my sister arrived to our family party - homemade cake and gifts delivered at the kitchen table after dinner - with Barbie party hats and a bag full of old skool candy. God. It was so like my 16th birthday I alsmost cried. And now I'm sitting here, sucking off pure sugar from my Fun Dip dip stick, trying to answer the age-old question: which is better, the dip or the stick? Then there are times like last night, when I feel quite old. There were times when I would have gone to any lengths to see a show, nevermind one put on by my favorite artists. But last night it took a hell of a lot to get me to drive 45 inutes to Boston to see Joe Pernice. And after it was all done with, I was cranky and annoyed, wondering if it was even worth it. Standing around for hours in an overcrowded venue to hear five songs... and I got lost getting there...had to drive through the city...grrr. Anyhoo... The real reason I'm writing is copletely selfish. Er..well, I guess every time I write it's partly selfish. But I wasnt to USE you. For Boston tickets. Anyone have any they're willing to spare? Also..pre-show meet-up? Still in the works...yeaaaah... Lessseeeee...what else did I have to say? Hmm. Not much, I don't think. And I should really cut this short cause my wrist is killing e from typing. I think I sprained it. In a spectacular athletic accident no less. Ha! Yes. Hope y'all are well. Be good.

Sinister: He's oozing "it"
by Kenneth P Y Chu 06 Mar '02

06 Mar '02

There is a wall made of glass panels in-between the place I sit and the boss' office, when the lights are off inside the office I can see my own reflection off the glass which would now work like a mirror. I looked just moments ago and I am just so in awe of my sheer sex appeal I thought I'd share. My hair looks very indie today, I think it's because I haven't washed it for a while, nor brushed it. If I start smoking now as well then I'd be right in there with miss maple, who expressed her love for such boys in her post the other day. I'm not sure about getting cancer just for the ability to pull though. Further down, my glasses have become very tight and it's been giving me a headache for a week now, and that is worrying because I don't recall anything unusual that happened to my glasses during this week, maybe they have just shrunk in the rain, or maybe my head just grew bigger. Speaking of growing bigger, and further down, the knobby bit of my tie has slipped rather loose and it's turned into the size of a small tomato, which means retightening is needed. My tie is nice today it's got a pattern of small butterflies all over but from a distance it's just patterns. A lot of people at the office have some really horrendous ties, especially the bosses, it seems. One was wearing a black tie with little orange blobs on it.. it wasn't nice. My shirt is a very vague baige colour, like, it's not white, but it's not exactly coloured either - it blends quite well with the colour of the keyboard and the mouse though. My belt is holding up my trousers very well, and the zipper on the trousers works, which always pleases me. On a pair of jeans I have the zipper keeps on slipping down, which was quite inconvenient, one time I was playing pool and I was winning against my friend, and this girl on the other table kept looking at me. There I was thinking that she liked my potting accuracy, and then I looked down and noticed that my jeans were flying low, so maybe she was more impressed with the positioning of my balls. My shoes are nice, it's a very nice one of those "walking shoes" which are less formal than proper shoes but yet still elegant enough to wear inside the office. The only blemish is a little bit of mud stain across the top when I cut across the grass the other day when I was late for work the other day. When I get that cleaned I'd be totally immacuate once again. A very sexy outfit, wouldn't you agree? I thought so anyway, I would have given myself a crush vote even, if I could give myself a crush vote, and if crush votes are allowed to be based on looks alone, rather than on the quality of the posts, as this one was shite. Sorry but I look so fine I just couldn't help it.

Sinister: mainly manchester monkey meetup news
by fiona 06 Mar '02

06 Mar '02

hey sinistereenies, you know the treasure hunt thingie well someone i know saw stuart m on the metrolink in manchester and asked him what he was doing and he said he was laying clues for a treasure hunt. unfortunately at the time i didn't know about it and so couldn't find out any details (and i wasn't there anyway) but i thought it was cute that he was doing it himself. my boyfriend decided that it must be hidden in bury because that would be a witty pun on buried treasure (geddit) but then we realised bury is quite big, ie its a town and so it would be pretty difficult to find a trophy there. the real point of the post... ***manchester meetup news*** conclusions i have come to so far... i would very much like to drag everyone out to chorlton for a picnic, (as its where i live and you never know when you might bump into members of alfie / the charlatans) but it is a bus ride out of the city centre and i presume people will be arriving at different times so it wouldn't be practical for me to shepherd everyone. so i have decided that we'll have to stay in the city centre. this more or less rules out a traditional picnic, but you never know... to proceed further i could do with knowing approximate-ish times people will make it into manchester and how they will be getting here because if everyone is coming to picadilly station i can arrange to loiter there for a bit. i know the gig isn't for a while, but if you could at least say "lunchtime, train," or "evening, car" i'd be grateful. also if anyone has any real objections to spending the greater part of the afternoon in pubs speak now or you may be disappointed, unless you have a fantastic idea for something sparkly and new to do in which case also tell me know and i'll arrange it.... +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: BEACHFACTOR

A little late perhaps... but I'm bored. So sue me. What was it I saw on the beach? I'm not the same no more How will I hide this laughter inside Call up #sinister at home. Pier lights shine bright Bumper cars glide by Liz and Maddie they fly, high up in the sky Pretty girl says "hell, yeah... What's the worst chips you've had? What does Llew read? Who's DDR mad?" Met the cigarette Paul - took a note of his charms But no Robster. Met the Indie-Cool Queen, Lucy there at the bar. I showed them the scene. My own bed I can't find It's five steps behind. The sofabed's not that strong "Something's gone wrong" Said the skinny indie boys. Do I like this hat? It's such a big flat cap Mark liked the look of the sea He loved the look of the sea... When they get back to London from the South Coast Will they make some toast? I'll keep down my fry-up Find my Shake n Vac in a while Are you playing with my Playstation? I'm in your photographs. Are you falling in the sea? BEACHFACTOR All apologies :) Archel xxx ****************** Visit www.buzzwords.ndo.co.uk for the best new writing on the web.

Sinister: mmm scyscraper i love you........
by Hannah Brown 06 Mar '02

06 Mar '02

ha,ha,ha, did you see what i did there, ha, so many Underworld references. Well that's a good thing coz they are fab and so are Boards of Canada. I got there new album on vinyl and the last side hasn't got any tracks printed, it just has a picture of a naked family scratched in, yum!! Hello to all you new people, Adam L,T M Boyle, Dino, etc, there are once again loads of you and i fear that i am going to start getting very confused.Sorry Robert Fadden put a little attachment in his e-mail so i thought i'd have a peek and it was very interesting to see some more of you there. I didn't know Courdoury Boy was a living cartoon, you must get a lot of people staring at you. I was very impressed with Joe Vesters picture, how was that done Joe? Were you infront of some glass or something. There was also a lovely picture of a rather attractive lass called hannah, unfortunatly it wasn't me. I am very much up for going to that "pow to the people" night, is anyone else going? Someone said the word "craptastic" on this site and i can't remember who it was but it made me laugh. Can i have permission to use it in this post? Well i am going to try anyway. Two days ago something weird happened to me. I used to be a MASSIVE charlatans fan but ever since their wonderland album and use of have-a-go mainstream graphics i gave up on them. Unfortunatly i listened to "the charlatans" the other day and it all came flooding back. I had to put it on really loud and got really excited and believed once again that it is one of THE best albums in the world ever...............Then i went into college and photocopied some pictures of Tim Burgess. Now i think i am going to have to get their new album coz loving the charlatans just makes me feel so amazing and excited and i don't know why but its GRATE!!!!!"!!!! I am re-reading "we are rock" (a charlatans book) and even though it's a load of biased (or bias?) crap it's making me feel 17 again. haaaaaaaaa, and breath. Did anyone see ROOM 101 with john peel the other day? He is fab isn't he, so layed back about everything, i am going to go and jump around for a bit, keep on keeping on, love hannahxxxxx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: sinister: i'll be known as the girl with velvet converse
by juju fox 06 Mar '02

06 Mar '02

halo sinister. i miss you. the movie's a hit. i finally saw it a few hours ago with the suitor i call 'the suitor'. it was his birthday. he is new to me. he says he wants to know more about me. but i already knew from my first visit to his flat that he eats ramen out of a pan for lack of a bowl. so i got him a bowl. for his birthday. and a package of ramen, with veggie boullion cubes and vegetable broth. they were all blue. shiny blue. perhaps if i can inspire him to quit cursing and smoking, i can get him to be more vegan-like. ? i nervously played with his cat after the movie as sinister played on his turntable. who knows what he was doing all that time... i was trying not to notice. i couldn't help but stand up after mayfly to say 'i'm going home' before the next song hit. right. my heart still belongs to another boy... the one who moved away. i've been away from here for a while, trying to recooperate from his moving away. and listening to iyfs doesn't make things any easier. i am babbling, i know. blather, drivel, sap. but what i've learned from my life so far is that successes are intertwined with failures; happiness is shielded by heartache. i'm going up, even tho i keep falling down. we are not only foxes, we are inchworms. two inches up, one inch back down, two inches up, another inch or so back down... we'll get there eventually. i hope. yes, i still have some hope. i found it deeply buried, hiding in there. i'll keep it safe and warm. water it. watch it grow. in other news: i simply cannot afford the tickets for bjork and b&s @ coachella... now THAT breaks my heart. maybe i can't afford NOT to get tickets. ? who is going? please twist my arm and convince me that my life depends on it. i don't even remember what i came here to say... but storytelling is fantastic. i only wish i could have seen it with you. sinisterly hugs to rachel fruitloop (forever), and eric b. in berkeley (for writing a sweet story on my band without having to use a solitary morrissey quote and being a swell guy besides). hearts, juju juju(a)parkavenuemusic.com www.parkavenuemusic.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: It's a Boy and other Obscure Film Projects
by Adam Leier 06 Mar '02

06 Mar '02

Hello all, I've just been given my leave of the nursery and held off posting for a few days to sheer insurmountable intimidation and sheer insurmountable exhaustion. I'm not exactly hard boiled in B&S yet; I only recently discovered them after hearing Space Boy Dream used during a fellow film student's New Media Workshop mid-term. From there I bought Arab Strap, Sinister, and I'm Waking up to US (I LOVE My Car is far and aloft the best song of the year{so so big}) I go the euphonious New York University it's my first year here. I'm almost 19 and my windows are open and i'm freezing. Sorry for wasting time and such. OK Thanks and ahh Goodbye I spose, Adam (BlurryBOY13 on A.O.L. - I.M.) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
