Sinister: Tedious commerce. Off-topic?
by Richard Gassan 28 Apr '02

28 Apr '02

Hey all. Erm, so I've got these two ticks to the NYC May 6th show that have NOT been moving on Ebay, and isn't that boring? Because I would like to sell them and I seem to be constitutionally unable to stand in front of the theater and hawk them. Ok, maybe I could (wait, is it "hawk" or "hock" .. hrm ... I digress) ... Anyhow. So anyone interested? In other news: I am currently printing my fabulous 327-page Magnum Opus (the Big Pile, for those of us not current in Latin). Then I turn it in to the graduate school and then my formal education is formally over, except for all that other crap (like getting all these books back to the library. Oh, and paying my parking tickets to the univ.) Cheers, Richard. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Everybody else's doing it, so why can't we?
by Ana Ribeiro 28 Apr '02

28 Apr '02

Or so Cramberries would say. As we all seen to enjoy other people's tops (I love)... here they are. Top ten Belle and Sebastian's songs 1. It could have been a brilliant career (means a lot to me, cos this was the first belle and sebastian's song I've listened, and I fell in love with this band because of that song - I know it sounds fake, but the truth is I bought The boy with the arab strap and If you're feeling sinister the same day, having knowing anything from the band but this song). 2. There's too much love ("It's safer not to look around, I can't hide my feelings for you know(....) I'm honest brutal and afraid of you") 3. I'm waking up to us ("I haven't changed, how could I? I'm pretty much the same person, I cannot keep the anger hidden anymore") 4. Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie ("And you love like nobody around you") 5. Judy and the dream of horses (I know, it's too obvious, but this song reeally makes me happy and "smily", specially when "if you're ever feeling blue then write another (tiny little pause) soooooooooooooong about your dream of horses!") 6. The state I am in ("Oh love of mine, would you condescend to help me, cos I'm stupid and blind?") 7.This is just a modern rock song ("I'll go and play with words and pictures, I'll admit I'm feeling strange") 8. Get me away from here I'm dying ("This is no declaration, I just thought I'd let you know goodbye") 9. Jonathan David ("Visions of love recollected, have we ever been true? I know that I have, it's time for you to go"... this song reminds me of the one I love, although it's a rather happy song I always cry cos we once were together now we are BEST friends but only friends, and he has a gf, so it's kinda like me singing it to her sometimes, but I always cry, yet I love this song, definetely one of my favourites) 10. Belle and Sebastian ("Fellow you are ill, you'd better take a weight off of your mind and listen to what other people say, cos things are going wrong your own way") I tried to make a top ten cds list, but I couldn't... it's harder than I thought.... I only got 5 for sure. Top 5 CDs Rush - A show of hands Pink Floyd - Animals Belle and Sebastian - If you are feeling sinister Rush - Retrospective 1. Pink Floyd - Delicate Sound of Thunder. Anyways, that's it. Hugs Ana "And the things that we fear are a weapon to be held against us" (Rush - The Weapon) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: the center of my so called tweeness
by Lee & Lisa 28 Apr '02

28 Apr '02

Inquiring minds want to know: Was it really Melora from Rasputina playing cello with B&S on Conan the other night? I have looked over the performance carefully, and can't seem to find an Isobel in the group. Melora as standin for 'Bel? It surely looked like her haircut. Unless Isobel had gone to one of those "Imitate Rasputina" hairdressers? Surely California hasn't gone to her head (thus) that quickly. For those going to the Austin concert: Look out for me! I'll be the only 34 year old clad mostly in black,wearing some handmade "Don't Mess with B&S" buttons. I have some to give to YOU, and to the band,too. :) I simply cannot wait!! I am over the moon at the opportunity to see my fave band ever perform in a mere 2 days!!

Sinister: About a *john*john*; bullying; links; going out
by idleberry 28 Apr '02

28 Apr '02

Forget your "I HEART KEN CHU" badges. The cult of Ken Chu is over. Thats like, so five minutes ago, dahling. Ken might have been a cult, but our very own johnjohn has had a moviemade about him, and has been immortalised on the silver screen. I went last night with pigtails, and another friend, to see the film "about a boy". Almost instantly, it was recognisable, as a slightly younger version of john john, from the clothes he wears, to the fact that in the film, the wee boy (Marcus) even nicks johnjohns little catchphrase and says "baaa!". So I watched the film, noting only a few differences between them, which, without wanting to rock the boat, I am now going to list. (But I'm not putting numbers against them, so I'm reckoning, I might just escape the evil glares and dirty looks as I tread carefully on eggshells through the den of sleeping sinister lions, and perhaps also, a bollocking.) Johnjohn has a slightly deeper voice; johnjohn is taller; johnjohn isn't from Islington, London, England, The World, The Universe; hes from Dingwall near Inverness; I think Johnjohn's hair is a bit lighter, and a little bit shorter, but still kinda cool and floppy; As far as I know, johnjohn isn't related to Toni Collete in any way, shape or form. I could have numbered it. I could have put it in roman numerals. Or perhaps a) b) c)... call it a top A to J list? Dos that count? or a top I to X list? or add N to X? No, I don't think so. (*DEFINATELY AWAITING A BOLLOCKING NOW.*) Anyway, back to the film. So, its a film about john john. It was a great film, alothugh I think my comments can be fair, if I say that its one of those where its what you wished your childhood was actually like- to be rescued by some cool, older person who isn't related to you, who sticks up for you, and lets you hang about with them, to make a friend outside school, someone who is willing to teach you the ways of the world becuase other adults won't tell you, someone who rescues you when you need it most. Well, I do. I mean, bullying is rubbish, isn't it? But if you're going to be different, and stand out from the crowd and be interesting, and you went to school, you're going to get bullied. Its the rule. If you're going to grow up and become fascinating, and transform from the catipillar in its chrysalis to the social butterfly, or from the ugly duckling into the swan, you're bound to get bullied along the way, aren't you? You're lucky if you don't. ******Bullying******* I got bullied at school. I remember sitting in the back of Chemistry class, when I was 14, and this girlwith theis awful perm tried to poke my eyes out with a biro, and the teacher happily ignored it.I remember the head of the school, during assembly, saying there was no bullying at our school. Which you know is rubbish. Its like politicians saying the crime rate has dropped since they came into power, or that unemployment has dropped.. but you know its only the statistics that have dropped, and there is a lot left thats been unaccounted for, or not reported. Its the same with bullying. And what do youdo about it? Teachers are useless, mostly. Tell them that the kids call you names, and they tell you to turn the other cheek, or ignore it, or not to tell tales- becuase they think bullying has to be physical. Its not. Its easy for grown ups. Or so it seems. If you were to turn round to your teacher and say the things that people have said to you-the verbal abuse- mentioning mothers, sex, etc etc. What do you hink the first thing they would do would be? react? I think so. Would they ignore it, like they advise you to do? no. Would they get angry at you? Yes. So the teachers are giving out useless advice that they wouldn't follow. Nobody likes to think its going on in their school, do they, the teachers. Ignore it? Thats what teachers like to do, in my expereince, therefore it doesn't exist. I got teased a lot about my chest when I was at school, by boys and girls. If anyone said that to me in an office, they'd get done for sexual harrassment, and disciplinary charges would be brought against them. At school, its not quite as sophisticated. It gets ignored. I don't think theres any advice I can give to any younger listees about how to tackle bullying. I think it varies, from person to person. My only piece of wisdom, that I have learnt is this: that karma can exist. And if it doesn't happen straight away, keep on thinking about it. The kids that bullied me at school: where are they now? Well,one girl bullied me when I was 16. Actually, I think the whole school did. This girl though, this one particular girl. She used to make sly remarks, just loud enough for me to hear but quiet enough so nobody else did. Comments how I was a teachers pet when I put my hnd up in class to answer a question. Or comments about how I was thick (or words to that effect) when I asked a question. It was a loose-loose situation. And her little gang of friends... These girls were all clever. But this one girl, lets call her.. Elaine. She had a speach impediment, and a turned up nose, and got straight A's and grade 1s throughout school.She was clever. Her gang consisted of a bunch of clever, popular, sporty girls. Anyway, this girl. When we came to leave school, I later heard she went for an interview with a university to get on a degree course. Despite her fantastic grades, she was told she was too immature and turned down for university. Thats the first best bit of karma. Some of the other girls, who weren't so bright, (not in Elaines gang) went on to get jobs in local factories, they grew up, and had babies, and are all settled down now. I'm quite glad I never did any of that. I'm still having far too much fun with my life to give it away to the idea of becoming a mother, wheeling a buggy around the suburban town centres, wearing tracksuit bottoms and oversized t shirts, threatening two year old brattish spawn when they start to scream in Asda becuase they want a comic/ toy/ sweeties/ want to go home. I'm glad I'm still having fun, going out late at night to gigs and clubs, without having to get a babysitter. I'm glad I don't have to go to the post office once a month to collect child benefit. I'm glad I can spend my money on going to nice hair salons, and getting a head massage and a cool haircut rather than going to mothercare and spending it on nappies. I remember one of my ex boyfriends too, was a nasty character. The stories I could tell you about him... but I won't. Anyway, despite all the bad stuff that happened, I remember two years ago, sitting in the computing centre late, one night, typing up an essay. I saw him and his pal there, typing up a 15000 word dissertation, due in the next day, for their finals. These two went outside, to have a spliff, and when they came back.. eventually.. they hadn't saved their work, and the computers had logged them off becuase they had been away so long. Karma offers guaranteed satisfaction no amount of revenge could ever provide. And remember, theres a whole lot of belle and sebastian songs written for people who are feeling like a social misfit. As well as other bands, writing songs for you. Wouldn't it be cool, if you could get the school bullies to actually watch all the films where the main charactr, who is often the coolest, gets bullied, and then the real life bullies actually understand what its all about? Wouldn't it be cool, if witty retorts that work on the silver screen actually worked in real life? It won't happen though. Bullies aren't the most emotionally intelligent of people. They can't connect the villains in films to their own behaviour, nor do they try and change it. Its always seemed quite odd to me, how the bullies at school could listen to bands, or read about pop stars or celebrities, talking about their lives how they were bullied, and not even manage to see themselves within the context. How they could sing along to the songs about being a social outcast, then carry on behaving where they treat other people as social outcasts. Like I said, Bullies aren't the most emotionally clued up of people. *** back to the film**** So About A boy. Very idealistic, a feel good film, and the sort of thing you wished for as a kid, or wish had happened in retrospect. The closest reality you'll get, is the Sinister List. ****other news***** Very pleased to see Mick Cooke has kindly added Corduroy Smoke to the Belle And Sebastain list of links, at request. ****going out**** Went to the Egg last night. Was a bit miffed, becuase its not as good as I remember it. Or maybe I'm just falling behind with the times. Whatever, I think I shall be going to Keith Watsons night next week, seeing as I've bumped into him twice this weekend, and he's been busy selling it to me. ****finishing off***** I think I'll say goodbye now. Thankyou if you have red my post all the way down to here. You are indeed a devoted sinisterian.

Sinister: long time ago or the danger of lurking and a cry for help :-)
by Kerstin Hammes 28 Apr '02

28 Apr '02

Hi angels, one really has to make avoiding to become a sinister-lurker a form of art, or we'll all forget it. I'm writing for a few things...that's 1. I'm 19 now and I don't feel a bit old and I don't care how close I am to 20 now or not. well, at least not yet. 19 is a lovely age, it seems, you can start thinking about a relationship without having "my God, I'm so ugly, he'll never talk to me" in your mind. And no one is too old for you anymore. I remember being 15 and fancying a guy in my school who was just 18 like mad. He seemed so grown-up to me. But now the guy next to me in school is 33 and he asks me things and basically he's just as childish as anyone. To which extent does age matter ?? I don't know, but I think it's not that important anymore. So it seems. And you don't have to worry too much about driving (with a driving license at the age of 18) anymore because in the past year you got somehow used to it and it's easier. Although you are my cousin who let the police catch him with 1,9 Promille in his blood which I wouldn't recommend unless you're filthy rich with a driver. Like Cameron Diaz in A life less ordinary, which was on tv yesterday. Well, 2. as I love 19 so much I'm going to have a party but I'm still looking for party songs. This is certainly no request for another wave of lists - but if anyone wants to tell me (us) what they love dancing to, please shout it out and then come to my party. For me it's REM's "The end of the world as we know it" and Cornershop's "Brimful of Asha" where I can't stand still. And I love Women's Realm and I think that's another great party song. but gimme some more. Ken Chu, I'm sending you a flirty smile and please authorize this post :-) love, Kerstin __________________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo!

Sinister: i guess you go too far when pianos try to be guitars
by ulla 28 Apr '02

28 Apr '02

dearest Sinister, i wouldn't say i'm actually shy or scared of people in general but sometimes it does take me hours to prepare myself to call someone i don't know. sometimes it takes me hours to call someone i know even. i won't go to the shop so easily that has no visitors in it because i'm scared that selling-woman would talk to me because she's bored and wants to talk to someone but i would be only like "mhm" or mumbling something she won't understand or not even that. just nod. looking down nod. sometimes it doesn't even help if someone is with me, some friend i mean. i'm too scared of not buying the things i've been recommended by anybody when i finally am brave enough to walk to the counter. even if i don't like them that much. that would be sort of impolite i feel. i certainly won't bargain. i guess i can say i'm not much of a shopper. except in record stores. i'm not so scared in there because i usually know what i'm looking for. i change the side of the road when i see people with microphones or/and cameras standing and interviewing passers by. sometimes i run away when they try to ask something from me. or pretend i'm deaf. (it's usually hard though as i walk wearing headphones). i look down when i walk alone. it's one of the most scariest things sitting alone in the cafe waiting for your friend and not having your scrap-book with you. scrap-book is like a friend you can always rely on. scrap-book and pens. they make me feel confident. they make me feel that i'm not totally useless, that there is still some hope for me. and that autumn won't stay away forever. i miss sweater weather. i miss wearing long woolly scarves with occasional yellow leaf stacked on it. i miss feeling rain on my face and hands. i miss the sounds that wind makes when it's angry. i miss cats meowing to me on dark alleys. i miss meowing them back. i miss chestnuts dropping. i miss piles of colourful leaves and me in them. i even miss struggles with umbrellas outside in the cold rain. i miss those who i love. a constant ache it is. i'm afraid that i start to forget all these small things i like about my friends if i don't see them that often. but it's not so bad because i still want to remember all those things. i want to keep in contact and tell them things about everyday life. i want to make them happy. and i know they feel the same way about me and that is a most important thing in friendship. that and trust. there is something you all have been constantly telling to me all this time i've been here. not personally to me, but to everybody else as well. you've told me that it's ok to be that way. it's ok to be scared about things that most people enjoy. thanks to that i haven't walked alone that much for a while now. i've got braver. thank you for walking with me Sinister. best birthday wishes to you! ulla +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Hello everyone, I'm getting a bit over-regular on this posting malarkey aren't i? Oh well, shitfaced last night but i did have fun - made some new friends and had a laugh and didn't pull any dodgy birds that i shouldn't. good thing, oh yes. hello again, going to carlisle next weekend to have a weekend with my ex - how weird will that be? oh well, see what happens. I haven't seen her for about 2 years and it will b strange! I really hope everyone has a really good weekend and all the single people pull and all the taken people get more in love than ever. ps. don't u just hate the huge support for israel in the national (international?) press? absolutely fucking awful - the israelis tried to tell the UN that the palestinians were bringing dead bodies into Jenin to make the israelis look bad. Oh my fucking god. I know there's american people on this list - i just want to ask why? why george bush? wanker No. 1. a lot. I suppose that's democracy in action. OK people. see you later - waiting for angry post! Dean XXX __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: perhaps i'm just a silly school girl

dear sinister yes i know you've heard from me enough this week...but seriously, who can help but write to such beautiful people as yourselves? especially when the mind is going on into overdrive with the billions of emotions and all their own slight characteristics that make them individually known? did that make sense? anyway, i have thin skin when it comes to my heart. whatever i feel, it shows like a red balloon on a sunny day. ...at least i'm brave. since i last posted with my distress, things have begun to mend themselves. it didn't take long, as not many things in my life do... efficiency, simplicity. that is the key. that is how i'm built. go in. come out. success? maybe. (don't be perverted you silly people WAHA :-) at any rate, it rained a lot today. a lot a lot. but i mustered up my courage and went out in it. i bought some hiking boots. oh yes, this mountain girl will return. i don't know how or when or for how long. the answer to the question "why" is certain though. why do i keep talking about myself?!? i hate talking about myself too much. let's talk about you. what's up in your life? i would say we could talk about others, but god who wants to gossip? especially at this hour! (insert surprised giddy giggle here <short and sharp, like your favorite pencil>). aight. the point of this post. are you ready? ...i can't hear you!!! ARE YOU READY?? (haha) so i put "i'm waking up to us" in the cd player tonight. i haven't especially listened to it all that much since i purchased it. but it was a random call on my part... and wouldn't you know it: the track "marx and engels" played. i mean it's your classic b&s. the sound, the beat, the harmony vocals, the whole shabang of how it's put together, it's signature sound overall. and yet. AND YET. it's the ending, man. it's that fabulous piano with the faint hinting of flute......... it's stolen my heart. yeah. that was the point of this post. sorry it took so long to arrive at. but why apologize? i'm an american. i've got rights! (insert snickering from the peanut gallery here) funky rainy love to you all, may sunshine pour in your hearts and through all the drum beats of your souls. ---your mountain mama sweetheart X "The differences between what you hope for and what you end up receiving are part of what makes the outside, the hoped for, worthwhile...and beautiful." ---the Lovely Lou 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.
