Sinister: Oh no...lists on a list
by Matthew Henderson 26 Apr '02

26 Apr '02

Goodness gracious me. These top 10 lists are fun, but annoying at the same time. How am I supposed to judge every album I have and place them in a top 10? Oh, it's difficult. I'm going to take this time to just spout out ten of my favourites. I'm really just...procrastinating, but whatever. This is in no particular order: Belle and Sebastian "Boy With the Arab Strap" - It's personal to me, because it was my first and it evokes a gorgeous mood that no other album has ever been able to do. It's wonderful. The Clash "London Calling" - After years of indie-tweeness or whatever, I discovered this album, and found I like to rock. It's absolutely amazing all the way through. Each song gets me jumping or angry or sad or happy or whatever. It excites me everytime. Plus "The Card Cheat" has some of the saddest imagery I've ever heard. Radiohead "OK Computer" - This was very important to me as well. I bought it the day it came out, and listened to it virtually every day for a year. I'm not sure why, but I did. And I still love it. To a Smashing Pumpkins fan, it was a huge kick in the face. Well, it was for me. Billy Bragg and Wilco "Mermaid Ave." - What can you say about this album? It's fantastic. The Smiths "The Queen is Dead" - One of the first albums I ever heard that can be deeply sad, yet very amusing at the same time. Tracy Thorn "A Distant Shore" - So sue me, this is one of the perfect albums for some reason. She's got a great voice and the songwriting is terrific. Maybe it's just a personal thing. The Clash "Sandinista!" - A bit long perhaps, a bit much as well, but brilliant anyway. An incredible statement from one of the most impressively evolving bands. Ever. It makes me actualy enjoy reggae (although it's still only white-boy reggae, but give me a break). Blur "Blur" - I know I know, but I'm still young and it was the first album I ever liked all the way through. It turned me on to looking for stuff in magazines and paying attention to stuff critics mention. That's how I got into all this stuff in the first place. The Flaming Lips "Hit to Death in the Future Head" - Great, fuzzy, rock. Perfect for a hot summer day for some reason. Taught me buying something I've never heard before can be a wonderful thing. Tom Waits "Closing Time" - Is there a sadder, more beautiful song then "Martha"? Probably, but I can't think of it right now. Well, that was some pretentious wankery, wasn't it? I had fun though. I got pissed off about my papers and everything on Tuesday, so I just hopped in my car and drove the 6 hours to Athens alone to see Beulah. I met some smashing people, and it was a lot of fun. There's something oddly freeing about just dropping everything and driving on an open road for a long period of time. Maybe it's because I'm American and we have some sort of fixation on driving across big spaces. Is it a power thing? Do you Non-Americans feel this way? I can't wait until the belles concerts. I hope I can make it through exams and final papers okay. Peace out, -Matt P.S.: Yes Ann, it was me. You should still vent it anyway. Just send it to me if you don't want to bug anyone else. I love kindred spirits in times of despair. _________________________________________________________________ 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: Procrastination, Paczki and Paranoia
by Stewie-Louie Ratatouille 26 Apr '02

26 Apr '02

Procrastination: So ... there is this big chalk board in my office that had some sort of (American) football-related diagram on it when i moved in. Today I decided to clean it and use it as my own larger-than-life to-do list. It looks like this: 1. Finish grading papers 2. Edit submissions to journal 3. Prepare speech for Toronto 4. Prepare article for publication 5. Post to Sinister OK, it doesn't look like that - it looks like a chalk board - but that is what's written on it. However, the fact that you have this post in front of you should not be taken as a sign that I finished the other four things - oh, no no no no no ... Polish Paczki: Have I mentioned that I lived in Poland for a year? Though it was only three years ago, it rarely comes up in conversation anymore. The only reason it comes up now is that - much to my surprise - people in North West Ohio celebrate Paczki Day. For those of you who don't know, this is a traditional Polish practice that is the same as Mardi Gras, Fat Tuesday ... whatever you call it, wherever you are ... and to take part you just eat loads of jelly doughnuts (in polish: Paczki) on the Tuesday before Lent starts. When I was there, I ate about 15 of the things. This was not (only) due to my American eating habits but because every time I turned around, someone was handing me one. Of course, all my Polish friends gave something up for Lent on the following day, unlike me). I went out drinking - as usual - that Paczki Day night and the bartenders were even giving them out to the revelers. While beer and paczki may seem like Heaven Version 6.5 in theory, I found the practice to be less than agreeable. Paranoia of Provoked Privileges: I looked up twee on the internet and four of the links listed on my first page of results were B&S related. So ... I hope no one minds that I substituted twee-full content for B&S content (I am fairly certain that eating any pastry while drinking would be considered at least a bit twee ... hmm ... did I mention I was wearing a light blue cardigan sweater at the time?). I'm not sure if this substitution is officially sanctioned procedure but it does seem to be a fairly common practice. This Post has been brought to you by the letter P, Stewart [Amour Fou is always illegal, whether it's disguised as a marriage or a boyscout troop--always drunk, whether on the wine of its own secretions or the smoke of its own polymorphous virtues. It is not the derangement of the senses but rather their apotheosis--not the result of freedom but rather its precondition. - Hakim Bey] _________________________________________________________________ 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: 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.
