Sinister: the wrong girl
by shanny jean 09 May '02

09 May '02

once upon a time, little adoring fan got too caught up in her crazy life to realize what was going on. so when little girl gathered all her new-found money (from selling her books back), she learned that tickets have been sold out. little girl cried. of Course they did. duh duh duh duh duh. that is not surprising, and i don't know why i didn't think ahead. i just didn't. ER. i mean she didn't. She. that girl. ghehbele. little girl did learn that she will not possibly fail out of school. which (if you read the last story about her) is important. so it's a nice day for a sulk after all. but all is not bad, as i get to meet ken chu. rejoice, recjoice. i will still see all of you lovelies at the chicago picnic, and with any luck i will find awesome scalped tickets at awesome scalped prices. oh you children, why is shanny so dumb? why why why why too much love, little girl shannon jean imshanny _________________________________________________________________ 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: six non-lectures
by Liz Daplyn 09 May '02

09 May '02

Dahlinks! For a short week, this one has lasted quite long enough already. But what a grand weekend preceded it! From making people cry with poetry (full granny-sized props to me, I think) at the gorgeous wedding of an ex-Sinisterette to her Ryan Giggs-alike metaller sweetheart, to exhibiting my little-known Tina Turner karaeoke stylings to a select audience of Ben and Rob (now known as an hilarious purveyor of Stevie Snacks) at the formers fine Swiss Cottage establishment, via being conpicuously ignored by non-drunk people while quaffing Chardonnay out of Powerpuff Girls pink glittery plastic beakers on the Tube, it was a protracted but not too sleep-deprived hoot. Snogs (with tongues) and the associated infectious bacteria to everyone involved in and around the Greenwich (more pub than pic)nic. Saw John Lydon on breakfast TV yesterday telling people to get off their arses and enjoy the Golden Jubilee; his rationale being that we should get our moneys worth out of the royals while there are still enough of them around to ridicule without feeling sorry for them. He then proceeded to belch loudly. R!O!C!K! A Word to the wise on *eXtreme* sports - for the rise in their popularity I blame the Windows 'undo' function. See, if you aren't worried about the consequences of an action you perform while fiddling with Excel (and don't get me started about the History box in PhotoShop) due to the ability to backtrack using Ctrl-Z, it's an easy step to jumping off a bridge attached only to solidity and sanity by a piece of knicker elastic. Another thing to lay on the no doubt expensively tasteless doorstep of Bill Gates. Listening to Sodastream while waiting at the bus station this morning, the shrill cackling of hordes of children on their way to school filled any aural gaps like a weirder live version of If Youre Feeling Sinister, only, well, Welsher. Still, it kept me from focusing on the music itself too much, which is a good thing, as being half-asleep on a grey morning is conducive to emotional fragility, and snivelling on public transport aint my idea of a good idea. Maybe I should have listened to Adventures in Stereo instead, but these things are seldom planned effectively. More muzak: oh, the Spare Snare album I bought at the weekend is really great. Trying to come up with a suitably lazy NME-stylee comparison, I thought they sounded like a cross between Stereolab and Teenage Fanclub. On acid, tee hee. Also, have just found out that Gorkys Zygotic Mynci (the lovelies) are playing Clwb Ifor Bach in Cardiff on the night I shall be getting as drunk as a marsupial whilst participating gleefully in the Sinister Drinking Olympics in Brighton (lest we forget: May 25th, kidz!). Ho hum, another of lifes little tragedies. Love, Liz :x *** Humanity i love you because you Are perpetually putting the secret of Life in your pants and forgetting Its there and sitting down e. e. cummings *** P.S. nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands. P.S.2 (RIP Sega): Now that Ken is in America, I wonder if he will stop being so uptight about the treasure hunt clues and get a life. _________________________________________________________________ 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: A two dollar whore who once commanded five & other tales from a family reunion
by Laura Llew 09 May '02

09 May '02

"The transatlantic crossing was so rough that the only thing I could keep on my stomach was the first mate." -- Dorothy Parker Even when a man with arms of sex are a feature of my travels, that Poet Parker always outdoes me. The Bitch. Of course, it's no thanks to the list that I actually did get to see Belle and Sebastian in New York on Sunday. The one answer I had to my plea about what to do if my ticket hadn't come in the mail was a conversation which went like this: Dave: You could crash the gate! Distract them and sneak in! Me: I'm not lifting up my shirt. Dave: You could just yell, 'Look, a Llew comet!' Me: Well, I'm definitely not lifting my shirt while saying that. It looked hopeless. I looked desperate. (Ok, so some things never change.) However, thanks to Dashing Damo's superfly scramblings, Brian DeWinters Manderleyan organizational skills and Laurel's expressing the pony I was able to finally get the ticket in my grubby happy little hands in time for the show. I know I'm delayed in writing back but I am a Southerner - we're supposed to be slow. So without further adieu: A Night At The Hammerstein Ballroom By Laura Llew With Help From Senor Snicket Even after liking Belle and Sebastian for five years, there are many things I do not understand. I do not understand how a priest can have a photographic memory for all that he had HEARD rather than seen. I do not understand why the line in Photo Jenny can't really be "Get that bitch a bench" instead of "fish and chips." I do not understand why the band refuses to play my bedroom even if it is too cramped for all of them leaving me with just Stu, Stevie, and Mick Cooke while the others occupy themselves with lint and pieces of string in the hall. It has good lighting and attractive decor. What is their problem? I do not understand why some people attend a show when it appears they would prefer to be chatting with a friend, preparing a proposal for the bassist of the Aislers Set or persistently digging their elbow into my ribs; and I do not understand why I should be expected to applaud for a bunch of hideous backup singers & musicians just because they can shake a tambourine while wearing fantastically gaudy clothes better than I can. And now there is something else I do not understand. I do not understand how I could travel some distance and spend a fair amount of money to see Belle and Sebastian only to realize three minutes into the show that with the exception of Stevie Jackson being replaced by Tiny Tim, my mom calling me to tell me she's decided for a career change and is becoming a porn star, or discovering I was closely related to any of the backup singer/muscians - I didn't care *what* happened for the next couple of hours I would love it all regardless. When Stuart asked the crowd if she should play Staying Alive because it had such a huge potential to be really bad I found myself wanting more than anything to hear the song. It's either a sign of devotion or a sign of a psychotropic drug prescription just waiting to be written. Either way, I was happy. I was up at the very front with no one in front of me so that I could feel every drop of sweat which Struan shook loose. Of course, that would have been if I weren't over too far from the center and in front of Isobel instead to feel every drop of glitter shake off from the back of her long top which said "United Plaster Casters of America" on the back. Her bum was looking very proportional to the rest of her body too bad her personality didn't. I kind of liked her aloofness and the way she would occasionally lean over and whisper something to someone else as she giggled. I also liked the way she would randomly get up and wander off the stage as if in a trance. I wish she had done it more often. Thanks to the flashers during the song The Model we now have the answer to Stuart's question in Rollercoaster Ride of, "If you were to remove your clothes do you think the singer would notice?" Forever yours (or until I get bored and cast you aside like the other llewsers), Laura 'meeting all of your Laura Llew needs since 1977' PS - I just took this quiz at http://www.herheartache.org/test/kirsten.html to discover that I'm Lux Lisbon. No wonder I've been so tired - having sex with all these boys on my roof and I hadn't even noticed. Oy! PPS - I don't know what "licky love" is but I don't think I want to experience it. _________________________________________________________________ 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.

Re: Sinister: Europe visit

It's spring, and everyone's going to Europe. But me. Sigh. Anyway, I'd highly recommend the "Let's Go" series of travel books. Oftentimes, you can check them out at your local library if you're short on cash. ;) Also, check out www.timeout.com and buy a copy of the magazine (Timeout) in the airport or when you arrive in the U.K. Jenny +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Europe visit
by alm26＠cornell.edu 09 May '02

09 May '02

Hi, I don't post much. Hi everybody. So my girlfriend and I are going to Europe for June, backpacking around, doing the rail pass thing. We'll be in London, Dublin, Paris, Bilbao, Madrid, Barcelona, Florence, Rome, Berlin, maybe Brussels. If anyone knows any other cities we should try to go to, fun queer areas of cities (I'm a girl too; hence we're queer), good places to find art books, zines and good music, whatever, please drop me an email? I'd very much appreciate it. Oh yeah, we're vegan, so any good vegan food suggestions would be great too. Thanks. Oh, B+S content: B+S finally came to New York and we missed them. Exams and papers and such. It was a sad, sad time. It was very lovely to read all of your descriptions about the gigs and such though.
