Sinister: hahaha

Hello all this weirdly weird day here in the wonderful city of Birmingham. First, hail to the ever so gentle David Moore. > >Date: Thu, 25 Apr 2002 23:59:01 +0100 >From: "David Moore" <Daf_Moore(a)btinternet.com> >Subject: Sinister: I don't understand / The rules of the >game > >Hi Again, >Sorry to forcibly enter your box again so soon. At the >risk of getting a mighty slap for treading on the toes of >our dearly loved List Mums could I >remind readers of the carefully crafted list FAQ ( >http://www.missprint.org/sinister/faq.html ). You know, >that thing they make >you read through the bars of your cot while you're biding >your time in the >Nursery, with the mobile slowly twirling above your >head. I was just reading >No 18, as its one of my favourite ones, especially sub->heading 2, bullet 4 >(what a masterfully crafted document). >Not for any particular reason, mind. >Love to all, >David Moore >Chelmsford, UK --------- On another note, life seems to be getting worse...being a thrid year in uni days away from the end is ever so stresssing. One minute you think , "a month only, yey!" and then you realise " a month only to do the dissertation..oh nooooooooooooo!"... I have 2 presentations for mon-tue...what fun. I was listening today to my favourite greek radio show-thank the kind inventor for the internet- and there go the Falming Lips, shortly followed by Belle&Sebastain and then Camera Obscura.THIS is what I'm missing...not really..as I said, there's always the net...yey! Still I am missing a gig by The (International) Noise Conspiracy...argh... So, for those of you lucky enough to buy, Kerrang!'s cd for issue 900-last week's that is- ROCKS! It's a cd or better: " A suave collection of garage punk nuggets lovingly compiled by THE HIVES", as it reads on the sleeve...MY GOT!(as my neighbour says). The cd has songs from the likes of The Hellacopters, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, The Dirtbombs, Flaming Groovies (yey!), Oblivians and others that want me to go flying of the roof. The Hellacopters are fast becoming a favourite band I have to say. Yesterday I made a long time wish come true. I became a member of the REM fun club. I had never done it because I don't have a credit card and I really couldn't be bother with the post etc-I'm lazy, sue me. But I was nice to the boyfriend and he said thatI could use his card. Yey!I'm happy. But my back is killing me. At the mo I'm working on these very interesting subjects and with the help of a little list abuse, if by any chance you have any info on the following don't hesitate to contact me I will love you forever: - Linguistic analysis of two political speeches, one from Stalin and one from Gorbachev -Dystopia and fear of technology in films esp. Blade Runner, terminator 2, The Matrix -Presentation on American indie film business I'm also working on two more things but I have forgotten now...

Sinister: fuck this shit, I will confess to you
by Ben Apps 26 Apr '02

26 Apr '02

Hi Sinister, I'm not at work. I should be. I'm not sick. Not physically anyway. It's just after 12 noon on a Friday and in the last 24 hours I've made some decisions. My glorified switchboard job which I reverted to after a period of temporary promotion is crippling me with it's banality. I can't face another six months of saying "DTI Enquiries, Ben speaking, How can I help?" only for some rude twat to treat me like something that got stuck on their shoe. *I think I'd better make a move* I wasn't going out yesterday. Economising blah blah....but I changed my mind and after work wended my way along the embankment from Westminster to Blackfriars bridge. What am I doing here, in this city? It's not my home. I turned left up Ludgate and Farringdon Road, avowed to get hammered out of my skull, maybe dance like a maniac and forget it all for a while: my job, my dreams, my girl so far away :( I hadn't done this, walking, thinking, sulking for a while. Not since I quit college and traipsed about Lancaster waiting for nothing. I'm sure it's not 'healthy', but I think I enjoy it in some twisted way. Got to the Old Cock Tavern. No one else is coming. My fault for changing my mind at the last moment. I'm going to give notice on my room, and see if Simmy will let me stay on his sofa again, like when I first moved here. I've either got to do this as soon as possible or not atall. It's not for me to compromise. I don't belong here, I didn't belong *there*, maybe I'll belong *over there*. I know I belong with Rachel. Or at least more than anyone else I could ever imagine. The paper is red. Read. Flyers are distributed. I'll leave it till ten past. Don't want to be the first one there. Oh. I am! Simon and Garfunkel, then Seeing other People. But no-one else is here. Feeling calmer now. Less rage, the music helps. Ian says "Hi". Hi Ian! So no more return trips to CalifornIA. When I go I go for good. When? Two months? Longer? As soon as the VISA comes through, but I'm not pissing about. Shit, I'm smoking. How did that happen? No light, and I'm not asking, so it becomes a chain. God, my throat wrecks now. *FUCK THIS SHIT* Gorgeous. Soaring harmonica. I want to jump aboard and let it carry me away. *My Wandering Days are Over* Not yet. But soon. Six months on.....left the town....feeling melancholy. Heh. Think I'll go home. Hold on, familiar faces. Some conversation. This is novel. But the last tube is iminent. We'll have to cut our pyromania short. At home Rachel is online. Seems so close. This technology is teasing. We lay our emoticons bare. "I'll call you". She likes the plan. What did I do to deserve her? I won't let this slip away. Wake at 9:30. Already late for work. Can't face it. "Team Lunch" this afternoon, let's slag of management and grumble about our lives, but not do a thing to change it. Well I am. self indulgent - check bedroom angst - check too long - check top ten list - damn! Thanks for letting me get it out. see you tomorrow maybe - I'll bring a ball. see YOU forever someday.

Sinister: I'm whacking off to us (woo! contains a TOP TEN LIST!!!!!)
by kchu＠daimlerchryslerservices.co.uk 26 Apr '02

26 Apr '02

Last night I forgot my keys when I went out and so when I got back I was locked out and I had to break into my own home, McGuyver style, by climbing on top of my car and thus then over the garage roof with the help of a satallite dish cable and then jumping 10 metres off the roof over a tree into my garden and got in through the back door. It was very exciting and now I have a sore leg. Onto much more exciting news I'm planning on getting a haircut tomorrow, a highly-adventurous "trim", no less, the last two times I had a haircut I ended up going to a B&S gig soon after (for those who study Ken's haircut history it was before the RAH gig last summer, and the QMU gig last Christmas), so who knows what's going to happen this time! I listened to the The Boy with the Arab Strap album last night, and thought that it was very good. I used to think that it is the worst one out of all, but now I think that it isn't, and now I can't stop going "I dreamt Id ta go'a Marrrs" in a Scottish accent. Hooked on the Scot'ish accccent I thought I'd listen to A Century of Elvis as well, aw it was so cute, and when THAT finished, it just seemed fitting to put on A Century of Fakers, which was like some kind of conclusion to it all. And I wondered.. Has anyone tried to mix the two songs together before? Like, DJ style, superimposing one over another? Does it work? Or maybe one song interrupting the other at regular intervals fading in and out? I wanna know. OK... I tried to resist, but the peer pressure of the current LIST CRAZE is just too great. Top 10 sinister post contents ========================= 1. angry leaving posts telling us how they grew out of the list 2. top ten lists 3. one line posts that takes longer to open, than to read 4. top five lists 5. top twenty lists 6. forwarding of jokes/virus warnings onto the list 7. top fifteen lists 8. flirting that's not directed at me 9. top twenty-five lists 10. personal replies sent to the list that is of no interest to anyone of the list apart from the person being replied to Lists and Red Bulls Ken P.S.: Now that ALL of the B&S Treasure Hunt trophies have been found, I wonder if the band will release the answers to the various clues for the hunt any time soon. ****************************************************************************** CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT This email, its content and any files transmitted with it are intended solely for the addressee(s) and may be legally privileged and/or confidential.

Sinister: another lowly top 10
by Christopher Johnson 26 Apr '02

26 Apr '02

hey guys well i love top 10s and so far noone has put one up that i thought was truly awful so i thought i might try myself 1. Meat is murder - the smiths (might not be as technically great as the others but its my fave) 2. The lad with an arabian strap (or something like that, can't remeber the bands name) 3. The Velvet Underground and Nico 4. My Bloody Valentine - Loveless 5. Its a shame about ray - the lemonheads 6. Station to Station - David Bowie 7. Kind of Blue - Miles Davis 8. Trompe le Monde - The pixies (again, see #1) 9. Come on Die Young - Mogwai 10. Mutations - Beck well there we go. what fun. so summers getting that little closer and for all students on the list so are exams. Hurrah! don't you just love the exhilerating feeling of going into the hall with all this amazing knowledge in your head that you're just desperate to share with the marker? Me neither. I actually like the academic life, i really do, lectures can be fascinating and tutorials great fun but this idea of having to PROVE that you are actually learning really sucks. So I'm sure someone can come up with a great reason as to why this impinges on personal liberties or something. and once you have a good many of us will be truly delighted as it will give us more time to rush off to beer gardens and blame dean! (thanks) well anyway, i'd best go do some work. so had you.

Sinister: Another top ten list....
by unstable mable 26 Apr '02

26 Apr '02

Do you think it is possible to guess someones age from their top ten list? Maybe only their shoe size... Anyway, for no reason at all other than the fact that i should be writing a project proposal thing for uni, i'm posting my top ten list 1. Rubber Soul - The Beatles (I cant believe no-one has mentioned this album yet as it is the best album ever) 2. Doolittle - Pixies 3. Nevermind -Nirvana 4. FYHCYWLAP - Belle and Sebastian (I hated this album at first, but now i have to listen to it every day - i suspect there are subliminal messages in it as i actually cant leave the house in the morning without listeneing to it) 5. The Bends - Radiohead 6. Slanted and Enchanted - Pavement 7. Dry - PJ Harvey 8. Trailer Park - Beth Orton 9. Through the past, darkly - Rolling Stones 10. When i was born for the 7th time - Cornershop So there we have it, another list which probably no-one will bother reading as there has been top ten saturation or something. I imagine that it wont be long before there is a top 10 ken py chu list...whoever he is....

Sinister: if i want to read some lists I'll write a shopping list and go shopping with it
by Paul Arathoon 26 Apr '02

26 Apr '02

For the love of God, please can we stop writing lists of top 10 albums. I'm sure everyone has impeccable music taste within their top 10s but as mr Moore (nearly) said "for FAQ'S sake...." And so onto some real content: I went to Brixton Academy. The first time I went there to see a band I was standing right at the back and got deafened; thank you Dinosaur Jr. So it was nice to be at the front and not come away with tinnitus. And a very good gig it was too. Made even better by the fact it only took 20 minutes to go home. I'm sure that I probably saw Sinister types there but it's not really my policy to randomly ask strangers if they are part of an interweb cult. Speaking of which...I saw ken chu. outside the Monarch in "lovely" camden town. I could take him in a fight. And all of his Ken Chuites. But really there seems to be so many of them that he be able to encircle himself with them and he'd be safe. C'est la guerre. I keep seeing people (ok, 3 so far) wandering around with the B&S bags. They are uber-twee and i am going to wait for the executive travel luggage set before parting with hard earned cash. p _________________________________________________________________ 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: about a boy, but not really
by Aruni J 26 Apr '02

26 Apr '02

kate said >Funny as it is, I jsut finnished every work by Nick Horney and open my box >to see a Top Ten?!? Wild. How many of you don't want to see Hugh Grant >play Will from About A Boy. Though I am really looking forward to the film. i saw a tv commercial for the film a couple of days ago. i was all, "huh?" and it was all, "sit down and shut up." well, not really. but i'd heard of _about a boy_ because badly drawn boy did the soundtrack (which was recently released, and has gotten good reviews). i don't know why the existence of the soundtrack caused me to be confused about the existence of the film, but there it is. i haven't read the book, so i can't comment on hugh grant's suitability for the part...i suppose i prefer him as the charming befuddled englishman in _four weddings and a funeral_. kate also said she's 16, which made me shed a tear for my lost youth. i recently turned 22 years old. it happened with more of a deflating noise than a bang, but what will you? i had exams the next week. my boyfriend called me up and had "desolation row" cued to the part about ophelia: "on her 22nd birthday, she already is an old maid." luckily, those lines are every third thing out of his mouth, so i was not shocked. all this to say that despite my best efforts, time's keeping tabs on me. disjointedly, aruni p.s. exercising self-restraint here not to add to the top ten listage, i want to express my approval of REM's "automatic for the people" being put out there. that cd was my belle and sebastian before i had belle and sebastian. _________________________________________________________________ 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.
