Sinister: parrot fusion
by Robert Brennan 11 May '02

11 May '02

I read the news today, oh boy. Running battles on the streets of Brighton W. Sussex involving poets, tranvestites and DIY equipment. Wow! Are assassins all we can be bothered to send to each other these days? We used to send nice presents and tropical birds y'know. Which brings me to the question of WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THE POETRY PARROT? I still have claw marks in the lino from where our good friend once visited me as he did many other sinister types, politely asking for - sometimes rudely demanding - some lovely poetry before fluttering off to visit the next hapless sinisterene. Apparently it's a family business dating back to Middle Ages when the Madrigal Macaw would harass the peasantry for lusty songs. But for months now - nothing! Has he fallen in love and shacked up with one of you? Or has he gone the way of the Pottery Pteradactyl? Rather than visit the archives to find our where PP last alighted, I thought I'd use the time honoured method used in school. I'll leave the room and whoever's got the parrot can leave him on the desk. I've left some seed. Better leave some poetry as well... PSALM I am not lyric any more I will not play the harp for your pleasure I will not make a joyful noise to you, neither will I lament for I know you drink lamentation, too, like wine so I dully repeat you hurt me I hate you I pull my eyes away from the hills I will not kill for you I will never love you again unless you ask me Alicia Suskin Ostriker Robster http://liquid2k.com/robster75 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: toronto meetup?
by andrew andrew 11 May '02

11 May '02

I was wondering if there's enough interest out there to have a meetup in toronto? I fancy a picnic, but would quite happy to meet at a pub aswell (maybe both). If anyone is interested, let me know and we can get the wheels in motion. all the best, andrew __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: A Small Matter of Technique
by Caitlin Pigtails 11 May '02

11 May '02

When reading all your replys to the Sinister Questionnaire (fill it in now if you haven't already), I couldn't help noticing that a large number of you (2) seemed to get a bit confused over the word "snog" and what it means. I woke up at about 3am the other day thinking about this, and decided I'd better write a post to explain. A snog, you see, is one of the four basic types of kiss, which are as follows: 1) The Air Kiss This involves putting your chin vaguely over the other person's right shoulder, then their left, and saying "Mwah!" as you do. It tends to be done by posh people, especially those with more money than style. If you actually make skin-skin contact during this, it means you are a lesbian (girls) or a cad and a bounder (boys). This is the sort of kiss you give your granny if you are going to inherit a trust fund from her. 2) The Peck On The Cheek This involves touching their cheek with your pursed lips, but only briefly. Any more is rude. It's not very romantic, really. This is the sort of kiss you give your granny if you are an ordinary person who lives somewhere ordinary, like Grimsby, Thessalonika, or Newaygo (MI). 3) The Kiss On The Lips This kiss doesn't really have a name. It's just an ordinary type of kiss, where your lips touch together. If you are in arctic climates, be careful not to freeze yourselves together. This is the sort of kiss you give your granny if she lives somewhere a bit decadent, like San Francisco, Brighton, or 1890s Paris. 4) The Snog This involves your tongues, your whole face, and often your whole body too. It lasts at least half an hour, and leaves you feeling tingly all over, and slightly melted. This is the sort of kiss you give your granny if your granny is also your cousin. I hope this is Useful Information for some of you out there love xx caitlin +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: The Hives make me proud of being Swedish.
by Astrid Wiezell 10 May '02

10 May '02

Hi Sinister, I'm sinister. May I quote, sort of? I feel so fucking low I want to fucking top myself. There. Done. How are you all doing? Fine, I hope. I'm not, feeling strangely depressed. You know springfeelings? I've got the opposite thing of that. I just feel as bitter as ever. I made a crappy page with a even crappier guestbook a couple of days ago: http://www.geocities.com/blasting_into_space take a look. Actually, it's ironic if you think about the content of this post: melancholy and oh so much more melancholy. I put the photo of me and Stuart Murdoch together, on the fridge. I like that fridge. I am wearing a home-made-t-shirt with the print "Play me a song to set me free", which is actually highly embarassing, but well, I don't care cause he's so nice to look at. I still can't believe it. It's like someone put that photo together in a computer or something. I am watching Jackass, lazily, and not laughing. How can't I be laughing? I love that show, but I'm not laughing. MAN, I'm depressed! How do you do to feel good when the whole world seems like they want to mess your life up? Mail me off-list or something. Saw The Hives today, it was alright. Only costed me around £3, if you make it into that from crowns. It wasn't the best gig ever, and someone hit me in the face, but it was alright. You sort of knew they'd play Hate To Say I Told You So as the last song, but hey, it's good. I need chocolate. Oh GOD, do I need chocolate.

Neil Robertson, is the king of the teasers, the prankster VIP..... i got all excited and thought there had been some wierd, freaky sculder'n'mully cellist spontaneous explosion, where you knew that creepy looking Stevie Jackson ( sorry sunnyset) was behind it all, practising his unorthodox experiements on poor Izzy Cee. exhaustion- is this another way of saying shes go a booze/drug problem (ala Kate Moss, Tara Palmer Tompkinson, Billie Piper) or theres musical differences and about to quit (ala Geri Halliwell)? or is the poor girl in need of a night in, with a hot chocolate, some amusing big monster feet slippers and watching eastenders? i can't decide whether neil means showbiz exhaustion or genuine normal people exhaustion. rumour miller rumour miller..churn churn churn... let the speculation commence! idles.... hope ===== http://groups.yahoo.com/group/corduroysmoke/ starting playground gossip and passing notes __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: This Chance I've Missed I Feel Remiss...
by Craig Morrison 10 May '02

10 May '02

Dear All, A grown man, out of nursery for some six months now, I thought I'd never post anything here, just being happy reading the daily updates from you guys. But the excitement of the US gigs, and what with Ken Chu being over in Chicago, well, I want to be part of something; I want to feel involved. Really, I should've got involved sooner. On the sunny day of the Brixton show I sat in my office in Portobello thinking about heading along to the picnic, getting rid of my suit, putting on a 'Fuck Chu' t-shirt and hanging out with the young hipsters in the park, drinking wine. Then at the concert I should've got in amongst it, not stood up the back getting angry with the jocks. And the next day I could easily have made it to the fitba in Kensington but didn't.... So here I am, out of time and out of fashion, feeling remiss, dreaming of Chicago, New York, Washington... Less glamorously, this afternoon I've been doing a bit of business with The Sunday Post. For those not familiar with the lower end of the newspaper market in Scotland, The Sunday Post is an institution, selling some 600,000 copies (in a country of less than 6 million). It's been around forever and is still family-owned. The publishing company is also responsible for The Beano and The Dandy. The Sunday Post's the only newspaper in the world to have achieved 'saturation circulation' (that's something like where 25% of the population buy it and therefore 100% read it). More than all this though, it's the home of two great comic strips, The Broons and Oor Wullie. See www.thatsbraw.co.uk. Wullie's kind of cool, like a bowlie boy kind of thing. (By the way, Scotland still sells more newspapers per capita than anywhere else. I've also read that it's the only place in the world where Coca Cola is NOT the number one selling soft drink. How wonderful is that in these days of anti-globalisation protests, a whole nation voting with its 50 pence pieces? Perhaps that's why Bel's heading back there.) I'm worried. Bel's clearly cracking up, flying home like a melancholy Seymour Stein. Maybe we should try to help out, perhaps all touch a picture of her at midday on Monday and think positive thoughts, kind of like The Sun did for David Beckham's second metatarsal? She's my screensaver, Bel. My girlfriend's not especially keen on her though. Yours aye, Craig Morrison +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: no exciting travellers tales whatsoever
by R.Playforth＠sussex.ac.uk 10 May '02

10 May '02

i hope isobel's ok. i have changed my opinion from annoyed to sympathetic, as quite frankly i would probably collapse in a heap if i had to tour america too. it's been a week or so since i posted, i guess. i've been... recovering. an unpleasant character called mavis turned up in brighton last friday - i caught his name, and the words 'ian sent me to teach you a lesson', as he crashed through my bedroom window whirling a mace. the lesson wasn't as fun as the last one. in fact he gave me quite a run for my money, but once i got out my electric screwdriver he wasn't nearly so cocky. still, i'm beginning to respect ian a little more. he's still a mentalist, but perhaps keeping nuns in your laundry cupboard isn't the worse thing you can do. i went to That london on sunday to check the opposition out for myself. obviously i didn't actually TALK to ian, just spied on him from behind a tube of pringles. other than that it was the usual pub fun and fab gossip - shouts out to my homegirls liz and maddie, and all the lovely london massive :) speaking of meet-ups, i believe luscious liz has already jogged memories about the next dirty weekend in brighton: it will indeed be on SATURDAY 25TH MAY - more sordid details to follow. luv archel - coming to you with all the depth and glitter of a soiled dime xxx ps. parkerisms are contagious ****************** Visit www.buzzwords.ndo.co.uk for the best new writing on the web.

Sinister: chicago show preparations
by kristi wheeler 10 May '02

10 May '02

i was wondering how many on this list are planning on being at the congress theatre saturday night for the show? i live in ohio, but am driving saturday to chicago and making a weekend out of it. this will be my first b&s show and i am terribly excited. i cannot say that my travelling companion is as excited, but he owes me one since he just dragged me to the garbage concert in columbus. perhaps all the sini-listers in attendance can wear some sort of secret clothing that signifies that they are, in fact, a listee. so i will see you all in orange dacron tomorrow night! _________________________________________________________________ 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: Exploding Cellists
by Neil Robertson 10 May '02

10 May '02

Just so yous aren't surprised when you show at the gig, Bel has returned to Scotland. She is exhausted, and probably shouldn't have gone out to the US in the first place. It's quite obvious to everyone she's not been herself at the shows she's done, so the best thing for all concerned is that she comes home. Melora will be joining the band again for tonight's show in Detroit, and will be filling in for Bel on the rest of the tour.

Sinister: you can hear your terry underwear

Hello, I'm not new, but my email address is. Tis a damn fine one too. All this talk of concerts and picnics and cover songs makes me feel very isolated and B&S deprived over here in lil' ol' Perth. So I have attempted to resolve this by listening to all my B&S cd's many times over. Yesterday, while typing an essay, I listened to IYFS six times continously. I've been whistling and feeling jolly ever since. So I guess it is kind of working. All you concert goers have a good time. And dance. Or sit. that is all. terry +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
