I started writing this days ago... but was too distracted to send, then too down to send... then too busy to send. But now I'm finally going to get this sent. I have the new Elbow CD on... #6, "Asleep in the Back" is really amazing... philly show - I got to the Tower Theatre in time to catch just five songs or so... I guess that works out to be a song for every hour spent getting there! It was worth it. The venue was perfect aside from being in a sketchy neighborhood. I liked the formality of the ushers' black and white suits. The lights were amazing. We found seats better than my ticketed ones, which was nice, but we weren't in them long. I sat for Seymour Stein but had to dance for the next one. And what exactly *was* that song? The one with all the clapping... it was fantastic. So was the crowd. The band not only sounded astounding but they looked like they were genuinely having a good time up there. Did anyone note a setlist for Philly? I didn't see one. On the way out I bought one of the tea-towels... which I have deemed "most interesting concert souvenir ever bought" (closely followed by my Man or Astroman? pennant, Sof' Boy comic by Archer Prewitt and Madness fleece....). Who was the fella in the tan corduroys who had travelled over from the U.K. who was looking for the after-party? I hope he found it ok. Thanks to two quite friendly and helpful locals (the people in Philly are great!), we managed to find our way into the after-party club after someone had apparently just set off a fire extinguisher. A nosebleed and several drinks after, we were dancing to a fun mix of records. I learned a few things on my trip, the first one being that if you wait until 6 a.m. to try and get a hotel room, you can essentially get the next night free because they list it as Saturday morning. After sleeping a couple of hours, we headed out to the zoo, where I learned more new stuff like the fact that black spider monkeys have no thumbs and that zoo hot dogs are extremely vile. Well, I kinda knew that last part ahead of time. I saw these funky little nekkid animals that are the world's only hairless mammal. ** Amusingly, they sold little stuffed naked mole rats in the gift shop, which I have deemed "most interesting zoo souvenir ever bought." It's all pink and squishy with funny teeth... reminds me of someone I used to date! haha d.c. show - The friend who left me with an extra PA ticket is also making my D.C. trip plans difficult. I think I need new "friends." Anyway, I'm not missing any part of this one *or* Sleater-Kinney. Dammit. I was trying to set up some kind of fun pre-show party/meet with some friends of mine who have a record shop up there... but guess what week they decide to move the *entire* shop? Sigh. And Belle and Sebastian has long been their best-seller in the shop. So it coulda been huge. Vilkas and I were talking about doing something also. Does anyone know if there are good places to meet near DAR Constitution Hall? I've never been there since I tend to stick to the Black Cat and other small venues. Drop me a line if you have ideas. A picnic on the mall lawn with kites could be fun... but weather, parking and several other things could be problems... Luv from - Jenny ** Want to see some nekkid mole rats too? http://natzoo.si.edu/Webcams/molerat1/nmcam.htm These guys are indecent. Somebody oughta crochet them little sweaters or somethin'. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: going to the pub Indy
by Dean Gillon 31 May '02

31 May '02

Hello all you good good people. I'm better today. Honest. I'm going to the pub now and I thought I'd share some news that you might not know to cheer you up. Indiana Jones 4 has been agreed and they've got Sean and Harrison Ford signed up already. excellent says mr burns and me too. oh yes, that scene with the vary large boulder will go down in movie history as well as the grab-your-hat-back-from-under-the-falling-door thingy one as well. Have a good long weekend everyone. Mines a pint of gin. Dean XX __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: say a little prayer for me, and my bloody network card
by Thomas Henderson 31 May '02

31 May '02

Hiya sinesterinos i'm sitting in the local library making good use of their free (at least it better be i haven't got any money on us) internet services. those of you on #sinister the other morning might remember i was going to go 'fix' my computer. everything was going well, first i deleted almost everything from my hard drive except the essentials, that i backed up on a cd. then i installed windows 98 over millenium edition, then installed the millenium edition upgrade, so my computer was thoroughly cleaned out and working rather well. the problem is i've lost my internet connection! how can i live? those of you who frequent #sinister will probably have realised that i am there for like um 27 hours at a time almost. so all i need to do is re-install my network card drivers, simple enough. however, my floppy drive isn't working (how much trouble can a youn man (boy) have?) Right so i just had to tell you all that in case you were missing me :) which no doubt you all are. sorry people, i'll be back soon, don't get too upset in my absence please. so if you're missing your usual thomas, tom, 'theboywit' fix and you're in the glasgow area come along to the pubnic/ pop league this evening, in case you've forgotten or are too lazy to check archives (the more likely of the two) or if you just didn't know. so pubnic be there about 7ish please. there = the pewter pot, north woodside road, glasgow. it's right near kelvin bridge. and accross the road from the woodside social home of npl and winchester. oh! i have interesting (almost) news, i have an interview next thursday for a college place, so all going according to plan i'll be studying at stow! home of electric honey. woohoo! oh no i've said to much, i haven't said enough, Q magazine gave toriespelling a lukewarm review, because they are ***** oh which reminds me this computer has cool software that doesn't let you say f*ck, how cool is that? it's an anti-tourettes computer. anyhow, i hould be fighting fit and fully back in action soon (i hope) but until then remember, sore girls *ARE* bigger than others, which reminds me any girls feeling the urge to say hiya at pop league, please do, i'm really nice honest ;) (i was joking there honest, i mean by all means say hiya and i am nice i'm just not meaning in a *nudge nudge, wink wink* kinda way.) right so i'll see you all soon. luv and network cards tom xxx ps: why has this happened to me? ps2: i hate computers ps3: sorry for having sh*tty ps's oh look it stops me from saying sh*t as well, oh well i'm off to watch the world cup, then go to the pub ps4: sorry if i sent this twice __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Bloodyhelling
by Richard Cottyn 30 May '02

30 May '02

Not long now of course til it is released...(giggles gleefully) and there was a favourable review of Storytelling on one subpage of channel 4 Teletexts Planet Sound p454 last night...BREATHE... It's probably offscreen now, so me, being the good soul that I am, have typed it up for you. "An album delayed so long that the Todd Solondz movie it was meant to soundtrack was released last November. The delay is doubly ironic as the short-largely instrumental-pieces have B&S sounding at their most relaxed and simple since their Tigermilk debut. It's wait also works in it's favour, as the superficially breezy mood is just right for summer. And anti-world cup types now have their own anthem in I Don't Want To Play Football. 8/10." It's short of course, but the Teletext ones always are-there's only so much you can fit onto a television screen I guess! I think all the big stores like HMV, Virgin etc should announce their decision to open at 12midnight, so all the swarms of B&S fabs can pick up their copy just as Monday kicks in. They do it with Oasis and Will Young, so why not B&S?! ;) Goodnight and Thank-you, Richard X +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Ronan, girly Ulsterman (read this for MIXTAPE CHALLENGE INFO)
by kchu＠daimlerchryslerservices.co.uk 30 May '02

30 May '02

When you've been on sinister for a fair amount of time you'd notice that there are often patches of "good" and "bad" sinister periods.. it seems that we're on one of those bad patches now where all the posts that I read are either intriguing and/or sweet and/or raises a smile to my face and/or from people I love, making me unable to stop reading and/or do anything constructive other than trying to write something good myself. Well everything appeared to have gone from bad to better after going to Brighton, the air of salt from the sea helped to neutralise my post-vacation blues. Watching the waves come pounding along the beach, spraying a wash of white bubbles along the beach before falling back down again.. I can do that all day, and do nothing else. I can't afford it though, doing nothing costs a lot of money. Things are looking up, my house moving plans with my friend are slowly working out, the World Cup is starting and I looked at the Belle and Sebastian website and it said "Treasure Hunt - the answers to the clues will be revealed VERY SOON". I almost fainted in glee. Like most of the e-mails, this real purpose of this e-mail is for talking about ME! me me me Or rather, the TAPES, that you were meant to send to ME: = THE SINISTER NAMESAKE MIXTAPE CHALLENGE = =============================================== Remember that? Lemme Recap. There was once upon a time when a lovely lady called Rachel Fruitloop used to make up her own versions of Sinister Digest, she has been quiet of late but there was a time when she was in a clan of Rudd Gurrls known as The Rachels (rather than the guitar noodler band "The Rachels"), they were so ruud, they got into trouble with a lot of people called William (aka The Williams), and a few people called Rob, Robin or Robyn (called The Robs?), and sinister was in chaos! So, in order to resolve their conflicts, the Rachels, the Wills and the Robs were to each compile a mixtape with songs selected from all members of their group, and eventually send it to KEN, who will judge them and then tell them who won. I've even given these psycho internet freaks my address so that they can send me their tapes. However, they've taken so BLUDDY LONG to make these tapes, that now I'm even MOVING HOUSE! And no tapes were to be seen. So, basically, the Rachels, the Wills, the Robs: ***Can you please each send me an email to let me know if you're still playing, and if you're making any progress, and when you finish, send me a mail so I can give you a NEW ADDRESS! (I don't have it yet) Okay, from what a gather here's a progress report: Rachels: Last time I heard (2 months ago) it was flying over the Atlantic Ocean Wills: Last time I heard was about 6 months ago, and now one of the Wills have actually turned into a girl. Robs: The most promising of the three who are almost finished, AND have already sent me an e-mail, as they should, telling me how much they love me. Bless 'em. = NEW ENTRIES = ================ If you read the above you can see that I haven't actually received any tapes yet, so it's not too late to start your VERY OWN! Find fellow namesakes on sinister (do it with PRIVATE EMAILS please not over the list publically), and make me a tape! Winners get a snog from me you know. I've heard that you have a higher chance of winning if you have a girl's name, or are a girl with a boy's name. I feel better now that I've contributed to posting a "good" post. Oooh hang on, one last bit to make my post complete: People: please donate all of your porno mags to my shop! AND ALSO This is to the girl with long hair and glasses who was at the Terrorvision gig last year, do you remember seeing this Really Good Looking Boy at the corner? Well, it wasn't me, but e-mail me anyway because I! L!O!V!E! Y!O!U! Love and Red Bulls Ken xx P.S.: The two girls on the Story Telling album are hotttttttttttt. P.S.2.: I had a sinister dream about the two list mummies last night who are even hotttter X-Box: After this post I'll probably have nightmares of the two list mummies who are about to spank me ****************************************************************************** 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: "ooooh baby i wanna jizz in your sandwich, ooooohhhhgghhhaahhh"
by Hannah Brown 30 May '02

30 May '02

sorry, MMM, half a day to go, ha ha ha ha ha, i'm sure i should be panicing about something but i'm not, this means i am either brilliant or have got a crap memory. Whilst reveling in my work avoidance skills i stumbled across a book with the new PULP typeface, i photocopied it so i can go home and have HANNAH written in the same way, there is also some interesting/dull information about the type which i will share with you all: The font is called Mole Foliate it was designed by S.L. Hartz in 1960 and is a redrawing of a french engraver's letterform. Isn't that just fab. I feel i am lunging into the depths of list abuse here. I also found a brilliant pink floyd web site, it is this: www.pinkfloyd-co.com It will tell you everything you want to know about them, YEY OH YEY, they even have a list of releases with those funny codes, i have printed it off so that when i go home i can find out if my "dark side of the moon" record is an original pressing or not, (it's got the stickers and the posters.) Marianna mentioned action samplers, is yours the one with the four lenses in a square? They are sssoooooooooo fab but they keep breaking on me. They were selling individually wrapped fags today and i bought two because it felt like buying candy, i am off to smoke one and become dissapointed when i start to feel sick from the smoke. love hannahxxx ps, this picnic on saturday, is there going to be anything happening in the evening, please say yes coz im waitressing in the day!!!!!!!! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: ....daisy chain...
by Stefano [Steady-State] 30 May '02

30 May '02

dear sinister ... first question: do you believe in fate? ..beginning biginning is going to tell me this is gong to run a bit of physophical before focusing on the spot. which would in turn mean more confused. just a bit more confused than usual. .believers belivers would say that the man is who, or what?, he build himself out his own exsistence. which is rather a honest and tough position. one can go on arguing that any single choice one made is going to point to a certain direction and even if today you're going to have rive or pasta or fish&chips at lunch there is nothing 'written in the stars', but it is all you existence built by day by day and hour by hour and stupid choice after stupid choice to led you choosing what to have for lunch. one can even chose not to have lunch so that there is no decision to take at all. which have its own bizarre, but very own, sense. but when someone, obviously some kind of boring bureocrate, decide that for any reason you also have to go had join the army... and you'll be kicked in the middle of the alps with your gun machine marching up and down the hills just for the fun of that. just start wondering if was worth studing for five years at the university and then get a ph.d. and even to what have found a regular position. was it just another wrong choise like combining the wrong gloves and shoes? what one can do? would have i chose differently? was there any chance to act differently and if so would have been made the things better? would I just go and say 'i don't know' or 'yes sir'. well apparently in couple of weeks all i can realize is that all the choices i've made in the what has been my former life had let me do feel like a kind of empty nutshell, and this one can do but open the nutshell and confirm it was actually empty. i must just admit i have colleceted an infinite number of mistake that is far too difficoult to discover the right things i would have done. covered in the noise. and in the end all i've worked for in a numberof years and, not too much far away is apparently disappearing like snowflakes under the first sunbeams... just a couple of weaks ago that would have shout and blame everything could have been blamed but i've lost the strenght to blame anything. well if have to march up the mountains let's do. and going to be kicked of science, for that, well let's accept that. there is ever the same question if is worth be alive just to be alive. but i've been in Brighton must be happy for that and to apply rather nasty shumacheresque techniques on the oval ring... i was happy for a while... take care , yours Stefano Here's a prediction: when you have stories to tell, you'll tell them.

Sinister: so mister crocodile, why the long face
by Dean Gillon 30 May '02

30 May '02

woohoo! it's me! woohoo! get in! What do you call a frenchman wearing sandals? Phillipe Fallope. HoHOHo. i said. I hope everyone is ok today? I'm very bored at work, I have got lots to do but i am VERY lazy and have little motivation. This is because I would much rather be laid on my settee with a bucket of tea and a packet of bourbons watching the cricket (sky news then 15 to 1 if rainy). I see the whole world is a bit broken at the minute. south asia on the verge of nuclear war and dubya just itching to get into Iraq for ignoring the UN, developing weapons of mass destruction, appropriating money away from health and welfare towards a huge military machine and refusing to allow inspectors to examine their chemical weapons. Certainly not charges you could accuse the US of. hmmmmmm. Sorry, don't mean to piss off the Americans amongst us (that's twice I've done that). Not really the place either, so sorry. Only a couple of days until storytelling comes out. get in! I think we should have a contest who can listen to it the most times. winner gets a big girly snog from me! I've got a full weekend of drunken debauchery ahead and I can't wait. My mate is coming up from Liverpool and we plan to drink, BBQ, drink, drink, fall down, sleep, drink, play some sport, drink drink, curry, drink, watch the Ricky Hatton fight, drink, sleep, watch the footy, drink, drink drink. pretty good plan I thought. many apologies for this crappy post. Loads of love and congratulations for any in-love glaswegians out there. Dean XX __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: tellin' stories
by therapy.services＠uclh.org 30 May '02

30 May '02

Ha ha! Fooled you. It is I, Miss Marianna masquerading as someone who serves therapy. Or something. And so it's been another gloomy day in London, and another gloomy day at work. I've been unofficially asked if I would maybe, possibly like to make my temporary job at a shitty hospital a permanent job at a shitty hospital. As nice as it would be to have guaranteed work, I think the enjoyment of typing 100 reports a day on the depressing state of other people's lives shouldn't be a permanent career move. Unless of course I'm working for the Guardian and get my own by-line. Incidentally, they think I'm interesting. I'm presuming that in this instance, interesting equals bollocks. Marvellous. Oh well, at least I have the Múm CD. It's ace. Almost as ace as your mother. Arf, arf. Slap. I was walking along Oxford St the other day with my sister doing the obligatory catch-up-over-lunch thang when I stumbled across a poster for the new album. I was very excited. It made me smile and jump up and down. My sister however walked past and headed for H+M whilst insisting on referring to it as HMV. We don't get on all that well. "You're both too different," my Mum would say. "You're too annoying," I would say to my sister. "You're ugly and a weirdo," she would reply. I daren't tell her I've been to a few gatherings of late with people from a *gasp* internet mailing list. She might really think I'm a freak. Instead, our conversation was short. She asked me if I was happy. I avoided the subject by asking if she was happy. She avoided the subject by asking me when I had to go back to work. So yes, I'm afraid to say I have been somewhat glum of late. And my frequent silences and unsociable behaviour have perhaps reflected that. But that's all over now. And Latvia won. Huzzah! Although I do think they should have won it in 2000 with Brainstorm. Bless their little flared jeans and Kula Shaker-like appearance. Nothing in the world can make me smile as much as listening to Bis or watching the Powerpuff Girls. For extreme happiness, listen to Bis playing the theme to the Powerpuff Girls. Aaah. And so I have. And so I ended up po-going about my room taking pictures with my action sampler for most of last night.
