Sinister: A Stroke of G-ness
by Greg Pallis 25 Mar '02

25 Mar '02

Because Mandee asked, and Ken's idea was too good to leave underdeveloped: (to the tune of She's Losing It, obviously. And the rhymescheme, too!) Cabbage met Nick Dastoor and Louis Theroux They made a board for guys as old as Everett True They're always looking for a fight. A pity then... their team is shite... Cabbage made tackles, from the back Johnny vowed that he would use me as a punching bag* None the less, sure was a rout... Sinister got eight and ILE got nowt. And in the first moment of waking up ILE's losing it, oh yeah they're losing it And when Martin doesn't even bother turning up You know they're losing it, oh yeah they're losing it. <dumdedum dedada dadadadaaa, de dada daaaa, etc> In Bapps' yellow shirts, we were ultra-cool. Sam's goals made their defence look like a fat old fool Mark's pair of strikes made the spectators drool Jim scored one, and even I got two. And from the first moment of kicking off, You know they're losing it, oh yeah they're losing it And when the Sinister goal tally keeps a-mounting up, You know they're just old gits, you know they're just old gits. They came to play us football and then they got stuffed, Oh ILE's losing it, oh ILE's losing it. When they leave early and go and sulk, down the pub You know they're just old gits, you know they're just old gits. ------- *: He did! Mark played Can't Get You Out of My Head at Tigermilking, and I was doing my Proper Pop dancing, bowling shoes and all, whereupon I was told that I was "going to get a kicking tomorrow". Of course the next day, he inexplicably broke his hamstring while warming up for the game, which only goes to show, um, something. Anyway, the whole weekend was thoroughly froody. Free lollipops were eaten, and the only things better than lollipops are free lollipops. Tasty. Mao was played, and Mao is the Official Sinister Card Game, and fabulous and subtle and great, and you can't explain the rules, you have to learn them by playing. Nishe. And a Sinisteress even tried to SEDUCE me, presumably as a joke. So I ran away. Foxy. Also, I listened to the Gareth Gates single a lot, which isn't much to do with Sinister but is divine nonetheless. And yes, Will's Evergreen isn't much to speak of, but the song was written for Gareth, you can tell. He's the only truly good person in the world, you know.

Sinister: I don't love anyone
by Bron 25 Mar '02

25 Mar '02

i feel like i'm posting a lot, maybe i'm not, but i could be. anyway. i don't care if you think i'm posting too much, today was a day to post about. and tonight i had feelings that could not go unposted. so here it goes: It was such a messy day: Slush and mud and unread love, Tired young eyes couldnt even Reach each others, Let alone the sky. Too many snowflakes And flack to carry around. If it had been up to me This would have been a holiday Due to inclement weather and A pure desire for some afternoon wine. White white white to blind us all Shut the shutters to savor the last of Our vision, but alas, wed fall asleep In the darkness if the mature ones Had their way ------------------------------------------ Habitual love Is overflowing from people Around me Dead thoughts to keep filling space Holding on just to see The blue of each others veins In the struggle To brace each other up When each is really only too kind To admit that theyre simply too Limp for the other Circles are ran The same scenery starts to seem Like a dream But they never dream They sleep with their eyes open The moon can glide across their gaze But they cant see its light Only each other in their corps world Only each other out of habit ------------- i don't love anyone, well maybe my sister, and maybe my baby brother too...but i'm sick of seeing (and hearing most of all) lovers who talk about nothing to each other, and try to muster up some reply to empty giggles with rusting affection. they've dated for so long, they can't let go, they're bound to get married one day, it's written in the stars (but they wouldn't confess that last one because they're too bored with each other to say something so beautiful). it angers me! could you tell?? love should be something wonderful lovely the all of all the smile that never seems to fall to the floor no matter how many bricks of stress and sorrow lay upon it! so why? WHY do people love in vain?? i tried to put content in.. ---your mountain mama sweetheart X ***Sometimes you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right*** ---Jerry. http://www.care2.com - Get your Free e-mail account that helps save Wildlife! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: i don't like mondays
by R.Playforth＠sussex.ac.uk 25 Mar '02

25 Mar '02

i am a bit scared because i came to work this afternoon and there was no-one else here. the door was locked, although the alarm wasn't set. they are probably all off drinking somewhere on campus since we're now closed to students. but i still feel oddly abandoned - as well as slightly relieved because i'm totally not up for talking to anyone today (except for my label-making machine, with which i have a closer relationship (love/hate though it is) than with any of the other human workers here. that depresses me.) thank god my weekend was fantabulous otherwise the hideous self-esteem crisis and crippling boredom of my monday so far would have me inhaling, or perhaps even drinking, my cheap tippex substitute. the weekend was what ken said, and that. i particularly enjoyed mark's sausage and ken's spunk. too tired to comment on anything else yet. i'm off work for a week and a half now, so any email meant exclusively for me needs to go to something.pretty(a)btinternet.com. thanks. luv archel xxx ps. due to popular demand, there will be another brighton picnic towards the end of april. swimming in the sea optional. ****************** Visit www.buzzwords.ndo.co.uk for the best new writing on the web.

Sinister: SCUBA diver (reporting back PLUS pastiche type thing!! cor)
by Kenneth P Y Chu 25 Mar '02

25 Mar '02

Did you know that SCUBA is an acronym? It means something like "self contained underwater breathing apparatus" or something, overly long name for an oxygen tank attached to a little plastic tube? Yes. Ian talked about the Evergreen song, of which he didn't like the similie on the first line which is fair enough (although I secretly quite liked the said line, only because I'm a sucker for things with random pretty words chucked into it that makes no sense). Just thought I'd mention though the credits for the songwriting goes to Westlife (or whoever writes songs for Westlife) since the Will Young version is a cover. Ken the encyclopaedia of pop. So we can't really diss him for the bad lyrics. But we bloody well can diss him for doing that "clinching fists aginst his chest whilst having an orgasm" pose 394 times too many in his video. I mean for God's sake, I thought the UN have banned concentration camps. Anyway reporting back.... This weekend was a Tigermilking/london picnic/sinister football challenge Triple Whammy, and it sure was fun. After a hectic working week (during which I had actually done a lot of work!), less thinking and much drinking were seriously in order. A few of us met up in various parts of London and headed for pre-tigermilking beverages at a birthday party of one of Apps Ben (Mr B)'s friends. We were put to shame by the fact that Mr B's friend had so many more friends than we do, but then felt better by assuming that the others at the party were really actually members of the Java Programming Society. Then we are off to tigermilking, after travelling across the river thames and ate jacket potatoes we arrived! at tigermilking and received a stamp and a lolly for £4. I pulled within 5 minutes of arrival and engaged in some mouth to mouth action with James T, apparently he liked the size of my lolly. We were astonished by the surprising grace and flair with which the PF and Stevie T danced passionately on the dancefloor, a few beverages later (involving a brand new cocktail miss SGS invented known as "Yes!", amongst other drinks) we were all hitting the dancefloor, thankfully not with our heads. Even birthday girl miss Dimitra Z and Sunny S began to dance, after some persuasion. Tigermilking is fun, everyone. And you should all come next time, even if just so that maybe Mark C can afford some half-decent BLU-TACK! Since everytime I go to tigermilking I seem to have to spend half the evening holding up the Tigermilk poster when it was falling off thus looking as if I was trying to groap the nakkid girl in the picture... The next morning was spent at the illustrious Bappsy Trotwood, with James DH and we played with Mr B's enormously wide-bandwidth after sadly departing with Fruitloop Rachel (miss R).. who was absolutely adorable and hopefully will return again soon. James DH had a dictophone which is the most amazing invention in the world, we enjoyed recording and listening to a recitement of the nutritional information of Lucozade in an American accent. We then trekked up the Primrose hill for a spot of picnic fun, during which we prepared for the all important football match when Sinister FC clashes with another list called "ILE", which is apparently a list where people discuss about the length of the queue in the post office for collecting pension money.. and, without boasting too much... SINISTER THRASHED ILE BY EIGHT GOALS TO NIL! .. I believe Sam W got a hat trick and the boy G was nominated the man of the match by the crowd, after courageously riding double footed tackles (ooh er) from the opposition, well done also to the rest of the players who were Mark C, Jim PT, Sean DR (he's back!), Ben A, Pine F, Paul H, Paul F, Nicholas P, Stevie T, James DH. During the first half we realised that a football chant was required, so our very own Sinister football song is born!! They're losing it ============== ILE*'s a team who were not amused they lost in every match since 82 they're always looking for a fight it's a shame their defence aren't so tight and at the first moment of kicking off ILE's losing it they know they're losing it and when the sinister's goal tally keeps on going up ILE's losing it they know they're losing it they know they're losing it! -------- *replace ILE with opposing team of choice Yup so we won the fooie, then later on after a pleasant and pretty walk we merrily ended up at the Spread Eagle, and I talked rubbish with lots of people as usual, recorded a drum and bass version of legal man on James DH's dictophone and learnt to play this really fun game called Mao. Before heading home exhausted after an eventful weekend! Now I'm so tired I can't be arsed to work and thus this e-mail, thanks sinister for getting me back into my usual work ethics. Trophies and Red Bulls Ken P.S.: Thank you Jim PT for delivering me Spunk and a sorebit! _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: and everytime I say I landed on my coxyx, people laugh
by Robert Brennan 25 Mar '02

25 Mar '02

OHMYGAWD! I go away for a week and there's about nine hundred posts idling away in my inbox like a load of corduroyed schoolkids on Swap Shop jostling for attention behind Cheggers... And aren't you all E!X!C!I!T!E!D!!! There's a new album. Yippee! And it's got swearing. Cool! That'll put the wind up the squares. I'm sure I used that sentence when the also-sweary TYCCASI came out. Memory fades with age. Hope you had a top P!O!P time at the weekend Tigermilking/Picnic happenings. Reports Back please. Thanks to Rachel FruitBapps for filling us in on the Copenhagen do by the way. Well done to Amykins for making the clean break. Congratulations also seem in order for Ken if Amy carries out her Get Fired plans. Ken mentioned the errant ROBBOBS tape. It's currently with me and due to a tremendous amount of slackness and general stress over holiday plans on my part I haven't done a thing about it. After a week of snowboarding I am now re-energized enough to manage to press the CD SYNCHRO and RECORD buttons at the same time so hopefully the tape should soon be wanging its way to the next rob/ert/in/yn in the chain. Provided I can find some bluddy songs to put on it. Now for some list abuse - don't read between the stars if you live outside Lahndahn... ****************************************************** Hello. Has anyone got space for a fat alcoholic* B&S fan on their sofa/floor on the night of the Brixton Soiree? I don't take up much space and I know how to make toast. Big hugs and thanks if you can. Also: Any pub/picnic goings on before/after the gig? Anyone? Hello? *I'm not really an alcoholic. Although I do go to a lot of meetings and admit to being an analyst. ****************** END OF LIST ABUSE ***************** Hmm... Forgot to think of anything to write after that. I've got some B&S posters. I feel like a student again. Robster __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Boxes and Bags
by MyMomSays＠aol.com 25 Mar '02

25 Mar '02

Sinister, Just got done watching the Academy Awards--my favorite bit of the ceremony is the people they decide to film in the audience. I like trying to predict who will be shown. "Show Denzel!" "Now show Uma Thurman's overflowing heaving bosom!" "Judi Dench! Show her grimace!" "Now back to Uma -- ooh, quickly pan over to Ethan Hawke and show the BRUISE on his cheek which indicates he was beat up in the parking lot!" Well, most of the time I am pretty right-on. **THE SCIENCE FAIR** Ahhh, it is that time of year children - the time when we all get together a cardboard thingie and paste up shameful photocopies and lug it to our nearest University where we will sit, patiently, for many hours, and explain our Hypotheses to high-heeled judges. Actually, since I am assuming most of us on the list are over the age of twelve, not many of us will be participating in Science Fair season. BUT I STILL WANT TO DO IT! I miss the science fair each and every year, and so I try to muster up the energy to do an experiment. EXPERIMENTS OF YEAR'S PAST **THE FOOD MACHINE** 1999/2000 Science Fair Hypothesis: Foods that are thin and brothy are very difficult to consume in a moving vehicle. Tested: A series of experiments over the duration of six months--switching between brothy consistencies and thicker consistencies. It was found with the test subjects that "runny" food was far more difficult to eat in a moving car than more solid foods. Also--there were a series of "distractions" put to use; one-handedness (other hand was put into a plaster cast to mimmick absence of limb), crying babies, or ringing cellphones. We found the crying babies to be the most bothersome each time. The test subjects failed miserably with vegetable broth in a bread bowl. Subjects' laps were burned by hot broth. Conclusion: Food is very hard to eat in a moving car, especially those of a brothy consistency. Science Fair Rating: Very high--honorable mention, plus gift certiticate to Red Lobster. **THE BABY STOPPERS** 2000/2001 SCIENCE FAIR Hypothesis: The Wright family genes should be put to a stop. Tested: My sister and I planned a roadtrip in a 1982 Station Wagon, packing up candied oranges and sweat suits. We took it upon ourselves to visit the residencies of every Wright member in the neighboring states. We examined our cousins and aunts and half-uncles: the lot of them have greyish-brown hair, plum-shaped noses, and large, engulfing pores that one could lose their handbag in. Upon testing IQ: Found subjects to be somewhat intelligent, but with muffly, slurred speech that made my sister and I to believe that the subjects being tested were of very low intelligence, possibly even borderline retarded. Conclusion: Pointed out each pregnancy, and warned: "I think you should stop that, right now." Science fair rating: Disqualified for use of color printer. **THE IDIOT BOX** 2002 SCIENCE FAIR IN LAMAR COUNTY, COLORADO - THIS COMING SUNDAY! Hypothesis: Does it really take one to know one? Testing: Tested a group of 412 individuals. The tester (that's me!) took each subject, blindfolded them in a paisley-printed silk neckerchief, then placed them in front of a mirror. I then politely asked each of them to touch the glass of the mirror and describe what they saw. Most often, they described a simpler world: "I see a horse, galloping through a field--munching upon grass."; "I see hours"; "I do not see anything--you have me blindfolded." "I know no colors upon these very passing moments." Conclusion: No. It does not take one to know one. Of the 412 tested, not a single one knew their own image. Science Fair Rating: Well, we'll see y'all! Be patient! OH LANDS - is it true ILE got squashed in their football match against Sinister? Outbid, Mandee May "inconsolably okay" xxx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: B&S in remix shocka!
by chris perriman 24 Mar '02

24 Mar '02

hi everybody, just a quickie for a bit of info... apparently snow patrol released a single back in '99 called starfighter pilot which had an accompanying cd of remixes (JPRCDS013R) including The Bad Belle Mix. as far as i can tell this is B&S remix. can anybody confirm this for me as all info on the net about it is a bit sketchy. a swedish college radio station had it on their playlist but thats it. who else have belle 'n seb remixed without my knowlege?, or were you lot all in on it and were just keeping me in the dark? me = paranoid also... are belle and sebastian playing glastonbury this year coz i'm going and i really want to see them. they havent got any dates planned around the end of june according to the website so its still a possibility [/me keeps fingers crossed in hopeless wishful thinking] wow! all content, that should keep the anti-diary contingent happy Pez* PS. are B&S up for an oscar for best soundtrack, and if not why not. PPS. i saw 'B&S' magazine in a newsagent but it didn't stand for what you think it stands for. it stands for Blues and Soul. PPPS. searching for what 'B&S Magazine' was about, google also gave me these B&Ss: Bathiya and Santhush (musicians) Berezhnaya and Sikharulidze (ice skaters) PPPPS. aaaargh! content overload¡¡¡¡¡æææææ¢¢¢¢¢µµµµµ±±±±± Important.

Sinister: OI! we're that more fire crew! (birmingham picnics and the lack thereof)
by ian 24 Mar '02

24 Mar '02

right, as the buddha once said, 'i'm gonna talk fast and not fuck around' that is, i'm not going to waffle in this one that is, i'm going to be brisk and business-like, and not get caught up in any ian-post-meanderings as so often happens. i'm just going to say what i've got to say, and go no farty hypothesising about life no quoting saint etienne rain falls like elvis tears existence is a funny thing, innit? oh, bugger! so... birmingham - to picnic or not to picnic? i get the impression that a lot of people won't be able to make this weekend. partly because i've left it so late and its very short notice, and partly because i've left it so late and its very short notice. i'm sorry. i think a re-schedule might be in order. if you're prepared to trust me again. hopefully next time (may??) i won't have a combination of bleurrghghgh-lurgy and a temparamental isp to contend with, and will get my arse in gear in enough time. forgive me, oh west midlands types. i shall now attempt to draw a veil over my ineptitude and move on to other things: sam walton said: >I was watching Top Of The Pops on >Friday. Mo Fire Crew performed some UK Garage tosh, but it was > >really quite enchanting, 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 i saw this lot's video the other day, and regret to report that schmindie hip-hop (schmip-mop?) may still be some way off. they look VERY angry and shouty on film. perhaps they were simply scared of the totp audience. i can only surmise that the front row was full of vicious hamsters that looked like the only thing on their minds was nibbling the nuts of a uk garage star. perhaps, on the other hand, they simply can't perform live. having said that, shouting 'OH NO, ITS THAT MORE FIRE CREW' is an EXCELLENT way of confusing people. so they deserve some credit for that. toy stephen talked of mis-hearings. in a similar vein, it was only yesterday that the true awfulness of the P!O!P! I!D!O!L! song revealed itself to me. (for those outside the uk, pop idol was a programme where lots of people competed to be famous and rich, and some of them managed it - mostly the judges, the hosts of the show and the record company managers.) you see, i've been labouring under the misapprehension that the opening line of 'evergreen' was: 'i like the sunrise' fair enough. i like the sunrise too. a bit trite, perhaps. i quite like ice-cream but wouldn't consider that a suitable lyric for opening a song with. yesterday, it became clear that mr young is infact singing 'eyes like a sunrise' now, much as i like sunrises - i could look at them all day - i think this wins an ian award for the STUPIDEST lyric of the year so far. eyes like a sunrise? well, correct me if i'm wrong, but sunrises are red, yellow, orange, a whole combination of beautiful warm colours but NOT the sort of colours you'd want your eyes to be. plus, they wouldn't even be one colour, they'd be a whole assortment of colours, and towards the bottom they'd flood out into a long red line. eyes like a sunrise? what a load of knobend. eyes like a fucking sanitary towel would be a better lyric than THAT. a good job the next line, 'arse like a double-decker bus' was re-written. london... may 3rd... are we meeting before the gig? are we drinking somewhere? i won't offer to organise anything, you'd only laugh. i should go. i said i'd be brief, and i've already been long, john. on a final note: matthew henderson said: >And remember, Don't let your chicken fingers be made by the hands of >oppression. which is, frankly, the most sensible thing i've heard all year. raise yer skinny chicken fingers to heaven, brothers and sisters, let's be free!! tara people ian +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Fingers crossed....
by Jamie Harrison 24 Mar '02

24 Mar '02

....as this is my first post. I have sat in 'awe' reading the interesting and original posts over the past two months, wondering how to follow suit. It can't be done, so I'll just throw myself in at the deep end and hope for the best. Firstly, or is that secondly? I know... get on with it! A warm hello to everyone, just a bit of an introduction here. I'm Jamie, from Hucknall near Nottingham and of a nervous disposition, but friendly enough all the same! It didn't take long for B&S to become an important part of my musical life, after finally buying the 'Lazy Line Painter Jane' compilation last year. This got me hooked and within a week I'd become fully conversant with all albums and singles. I haven't seen them live yet, but intend to correct this before too much longer. Well, that's enough for now I think, hopefully that went ok. Line up for any complaints!!! Thanks for your time, I'll try to work towards something more interesting next post.
