Sinister: Now, this won't hurt a bit...
by chris 21 May '02

21 May '02

After having spent my time dutifully in stir, I mean, in the nursery, I now feel compelled to write some sort of introduction. It SHAN'T be witty! I promise. I joined the list five years ago, already, but it seems that most of the oldtimers have moved on to filthier pastures, so, what my problem is that I can't stay away is anyone's guess. Anyway, after a long intermission (or, perhaps, "remission"), I've decided to marry you all over again. When is the honeymoon, and what shouldn't I wear? I'd send a picture of myself for Honey to post, but doubt that even the one of me in nothing but my "I Heart Ken Chu" strap-on would be sufficient to pull any of you to Ukraine. I have very little else to contribute, other than a music recommendation, and a question. I don't know if this qualifies as indie-anything, but since they are just about the only good Ukrainian rock band, I think they should have a mention: Okean Elzi. I doubt they are sold in your local record shop, but you can prolly find them through something Napster-like. Start with the songs "Sosni" or "Toi Den". My question: Am I bored, depressed, or just lazy? muchas smoochas, chris +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: my life got much better when i realized that lame backwards is emal
by Arik Devens 21 May '02

hi. still at home. not for long though. back to school for me on sunday. being at home is a process. when you first get home it's great. there's food and you can sleep. but after a bit you just want out again. i've been busy. no actually i've been bored. but it's almost over. i saw a very strange band called the gossip with a friend. they made mea feel old. well that and the fact that the audience was people i would know were i still in high-school. you know. that kind of crowd. before i leave i'm supposed to see the mates of state and pedro the lion. quite exciting. also we are going to an indie pop dance night and a goth club. that one's just for laughs. i think i want to try to go to a goth club wearing all pink. or at least bright colors. just to see their heads explode. my sisters home. i think i missed her. she's coming to visit me in ohio. i'm pretty happy about that. also i'm taking a few trips this summer. very good thing. i think i got sidetracked before i finished that sentance. which is good because there's no ending. two letters in one month. surely a sickness. arik +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: I'm the boys thats gonna fall apart
by howard shady 21 May '02

21 May '02

> Hello to all of you on the list. This right here is my second post for the list. I'm not much of talker when it comes to these lists so I just sit on the wayside and lurk until something strikes my fancy. But to tell you all the truth nothing really has, just a report on things in my neck of the woods. > > First off I would like to say a giant HELLO to all the nice folks I met and the Detroit and Chicago shows. I didn't get to any of the meetups sad to say but I was pretty exhausted from the travels, drinking with theater actors before the show and a few other little incidents that involved Vicadin. The shows were great though, Chicago being one of the best shows I've seen in ages. Definetly brought a smile to this face and I almost tapped my feet if I hadn't been smooshed into the railing of the Congress theater. Thank goodness for the Toronto Twins next to me to make me feel a bit lighter in my shoes. I also copped an accidental feel on one of them as Stu asked me to help them up over the rail until he found an much easier and safer route. I did thank him though...hehehe...Bad me! All in all it was a weekend to remember...cheers to that. > > I know I won't get a straight up answer on this one but it's a question that has been haunting man since the dawn of slacks. What is it with Girls?? I know there isn't anything you can say but they are perplexing this boy. Example....I met a great girl(lets call her Erin, I DO) about a month ago and was swept.....she was cute as a button and funny and actually had a taste in music(unlike most of the Chicagoland suburban tarts that I always seem to run into). We got on great the first time and it looked like things were going OK and another meet up was in order. Over the weekend was this supposed other meet up or DATE...ick i hate that word. Oh and to make it easier on the both of us shy kids we had chaperones of some sort. The only thing this supposed girl did the whole night was face the other direction of the rest of us and utter a sentence or two...only when spoken too of course. I was completely shattered, I had nearly married this girl in a dream two weeks ag! o an! > d in an instant became a widower. So needless to say I'm a bit on the sad side here but I shall persevere until I casually stumble into the next apple of my eye. Sorry to bore you with that...it's not quite worth writing a screen play for since there was no hollywood ending but a good vent on my part is in order here from time to time. > > Other than that I'm just dealing with mortality issues and how am I gonna get off work for the Jeff Tweedy shows in June. Whats a boy to do? EEK...just a tad of good news. I got my income tax check today from the Uncle Sam guy so I can start making my plans to go to the UK and visit my friend in Sheffield. Yahoo for me!! Enough about me. HOPe your all having enjoyable days and nights where ever you are. Bye Bye > > Raymond Humphrey...aka Howard Shady....aka Skinny Hips Rivers > > P.S.

Sinister: God's in his heaven, All's right with the world
by Matthew Henderson 21 May '02

21 May '02

As my roommates are watching poorly translated Hong Kong bootleg DVD's of the End of Eva, I sit here wondering what I'm going to do with my summer. I think it's already peaked with my belle and sebastian trip to detroit, chicago, and atlanta. But how can it happen so early? This is my first summer in 5 years without a job. Well, I work about once or twice a week at a record store, but that leaves a LOT of time open for doing other things. The record store I work in is also a cafe, and we hold a pop quiz every thursday. It's just for fun, and a 20 dollar gift certificate. But anyway, I'm writing the one for a week from thursday on punk, but am completely devoid of what to ask. I volunteered to do it because we have a round where we play part of a song backwards, and I thought it would be funny to play the Clash's "Mensforth Hill" backwards. I'm really in a pickle. Speaking of pickles, I had a wonderful time headin' up north to the land of weird accents and bad sweet tea. Me and my trusty sidekick justin hung about in Detroit/Ann Arbor (big props to those wonderful sinisterees who put up with us there!) and then in Chicago (big props to those wonderful sinisterees who put up with us there!) and then back south of the mason/dixon line for atlanta (no props to the sinisterees, since I only met one!) I had the honor of singing on Dirty Dream Number 2 and There's Too Much Love, which was nice. I tried to give props to everyone's favorite sinister, Ms. Laura Llew, but some bitch grabbed the mic. All I got out was "Hey Laur..." What a bitch. I also have to mention that we should have a sinister TV channel. We can have a little talk show, perhaps caitlin pigtails could do the news, and Kirsten and Mandee can have a comedy hour! And don't forget Honey and Linda's annual State of the List address. Anyway, highlights of the trip: All you Can Eat KFC BUFFET (with chicken gizzard!) Passing the self proclaimed "Most AWESOME FLEA MARKET IN THE WORLD" (this was painted very largely on the front of the building) "HUNGRY JACK!" "OKEY DOKEY BRAND CHEESE POPCORN!" "BABYHAM!" Ken Chu Hearing a guy in Atlanta say, "I hear Jar Jar Binks is, like, a senator now. I mean, no wonder Corscant fell." Windy Windy Ann Arbor, and DDR (Christiaan is some sort of god at this) Amy Longcore's excellent company! Fishtailing in Chicago Ken Chu Hearing about (but being convinced by) the world's RADDEST bar. Dancing to Beans Meeting a slew of smashing and sexy sinisters And, who could forget, Ken Chu I saw the movie About a Boy the other day. Me and my visiting sinifriend Sara decided it made us feel REALLY twee, but I think that was a good thing. It was a great day. A punk guy came into the store and gave us some of his little zine thing to distribute for a dollar a piece. The cover has a swastika with fists on each side. When asked why he did that, he just shrugged. Shouldn't the swastika (unless he meant it as 'good luck', which I doubt) be anti-punk, since it most commonly represents a fascist government? Why do people do this? I guess that's what you get when you listen to bands like the crucifucks. No Offense. You know I love you guys. I also had a dream about sinisters last night. Isn't that strange? "I'll buy you an Egg McMuffin...with ALL the fixins" -Matt P.S. I'm just warning Ms. Llew, that I will appearing outside her home late one evening, with an acoustic guitar, and I will sing her "Hestitating Beauty" (with the lyrics oh-so-cleverly changed from Nora Lee to Laura Llew) until she marries me. Just thought I'd warn you all. P.P.S. Isn't Sarah just the CUTEST??? _________________________________________________________________ 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.

Sinister: Brighton Meet up. All aboard for the Sinister Express
by Madeleine McNeil 20 May '02

20 May '02

Kids, I have been appointed spokesperson for just one little - but essential - bit of Saturday's meet up plans. This, of course, doesn't detract from Archel's status as Picnic Mum and it also doen't mean that I know anymore than the information I am giving you here. So, this is for people who will be travelling from London to Brighton on Saturday 25 May for the picnic/scrabble tournament/beachwear fun. Here's the plan. Meet at Victoria Station at 12.30. Hang around in flares and charity shop clothes outside the Burger King at the station, which is opposite the HUGE departures board. Wear your B&S badges and look winsome and twee. We will all find each other. Catch the train to Brighton at 13.08. Stragglers will not be tolerated. Or rather, they will, but they'll be late and miss out on some of the fun. The train gets us to Brighton at 13.57, where we will be met by Archel, who will be standing behind the barriers waving a small flag and cheering. So, if you're coming from a station other than London, you could also arrive around that time, so Archel can take us all to the beach together. Have we got that? Saturday 25 May Victoria Station (outside Burger King) 12.30 My mobile is 07985 141447 - no stalkers please, unless you try to win my heart by sending me expensive gifts. Stevie Trousers's number is 07855 089167. If you do call me, I may not be any use at all, as I don't know London and probably won't be arriving until 12.20 myself, but I'll do my best. So, see you all on Saturday. Get swotting up on your obscure words containing the letters Z X and Q in readiness for the great scrabble championship!

Sinister: haikus revealed // week nineteen // two thousand and two
by ee fumblings 20 May '02

20 May '02

I never believe I'm the kind of person that good things happen to. I began to fill out the questionnaire my mind began to wander. More miss than kiss. More teeth than mouth. More tongue than Kiss. More drool than Lassie. Even if you don't fancy them. Example: Hey Tim! Great show! I'm Greg. Uh-huh... <laughs> This IS a bit forward. No, no, let me think. Alright. Yes. AWFULLY sorry for the list abuse. Linds, I've lost your e-mail address. The southern US shows seem to have been a riot (in the nicest sense). In weeks I will have finished university. That feels weird I say. I can't help posting it again, just in case no one's ever seen it. Canadians. A lot of people are not sure where Ottawa is. I'm very bad but I owe some people some tapes from like months ago. I will only be here for a few days before I leave for Scotland. I hit one shot that was as if I was Tiger Woods! On Cannabis. And things! Then later on I was in bed with some canadian chick. Melody Maker was a text book i hoped i'd one day understand. Its looking quite good actually. I even saw where I'm sitting. Buckley's version of Hallelujah while sitting on the bus today. Feel self-conscious now hiding these in here. Maybe I'll stop doing it. Go off and listen to it and you'll end up in the mood I'm in now. And I could not sleep the only other thing I wish I would have done. Vilkas' directions suck: My mobile is Use don't abuse this number. I grew older and began to take more notice of this ritual. I'm now wandering around fixated by all these new sensations. I'm not sure what I'll do without her for the next ten days. She's THAT cool. It's the "my girlfriend left me, what shall i do?" post, this time with a twist. I'm sure the rain will continue to follow me to Scotland as well. / ee / +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: so if brian doesn't mind us a) postponing his birthday b) using it as an excuse for a pubnic
by Thomas Henderson 20 May '02

20 May '02

hello, so hiya, breams pointed out something very worthwhile do i actually want to read this? well as it happens, yes. but that's only because i'm in the mood this week, i'm in the mood for comforting things. in the past few days i've listened to 'up a tree' about seven times and 'biggest bluest hi-fi' 8/9 times all interspersed by IFYS. i'm not trying to give the setlist to my week or anything, i'm just saying i'm in a good mood even though some coatbridge ned decided to punch me in the face for no reason whatsoever, yes i'm looking for sympathy, but it is still a bit sore. i had to wear foundation today because i had an interview, and that can be embarasing for a boy, lipstick and mascara are ok, especially if you're going to a placebo concert but aparently foundation completely defines being a poof. not that a lot of people don't already think i am, i'd be quite happy if they thought that and i was but well i'm not, if i was, and they said it, i would congratulate them on their deduction. i'm going off course again. The point is that i, sore face and all, want to have a pubnic next week in glasgow because of a few things, firstly not all of us can get to brighton this weekend, it's brian's birthday (which is a good enough excuse) we can celebrate the queen/punk jubilee and it'll be good missing the sheeeite band that are playing in the club i work in Right so, i don't actually have the whole thing planned out yet, apart from the last bit, where our pubnic ends up in national pop league, so to be easy we could got to the pewter pot which is acroos the road from the woodside social, or we could go to a pub like nice 'n' sleazy or firewater or any other good pub in either city centre or west end, or if there's enough students we could get everyone signed into the union. anyway, anyone interested in a pubnic on friday the 31st of may mail me back and i'll try and get someone else to organize it (that was a joke honest) anyway c-ya later ps: if the clues to the treasure hunt aren't revealed by the end of the world cup, will ken forget about them? p.p.s: why does ken want to know so badly? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: I could dance all night like I'm a soul boy
by Fernando Brito 20 May '02

20 May '02

Hello! How are you, my dear sinister friend? I've been up and down, last week I was was almost at the bottom, now I'm coming up! Last time I posted I told you I was in trouble. I am still in trouble... She was mine, for some time... I said to her everything a boy can say to a girl. I am happy and proud because of it. She cried when I asked her why she didn't leave her boyfriend, and I cried when she told me she liked me so much, but not "that" much. And we kissed, and everything seemed to be going to the happiest ending... But she never gave me an answer. Not from her mouth, but I could see her answer, I saw it last night, in my living room... I'm not proud to say that somehow I begged for her love. But what was I supposed to do? This is love, not money or some object! Is it a shame to beg for love? Maybe someday I will feel ashamed... today I'm proud. I'm proud that I humiliated myself. I'm proud that I cried in public for the first time since I was nine or ten. I'm proud because I'm not a complete loser, for at least I tried, and I'm still trying. But the way things are going... Last time I posted I was about to leave my flat and move with one of my flatmates to another place... I never wanted to live along with him, he was boring, he was a fascist, he was childish... But she moved to our flat and we would have to leave as soon as possible. In the end he backed out, he wouldn't move anymore because it would be too expensive for him... but that was just an excuse, he knew he wouldn't move six months before, but nothing he told me. Well, then we had three bedrooms for four people, someone had leave. So he left. And now I live with her and my korean flat mate. And we're quite a nice trio. But only friends. Anyway... I've been too sad since I met her, since my last post... so last week I decided I needed some shock therapy, some medicine that could make me feel happy again... So I took some Trompe Le Monde... and I took it again... and again... and almost got addicted to it! And now I have a dream, and my dream is to go out to some party... and when the party is electrical, almost sparkling, the DJ plays Head On! And at this moment I think I could really die because I wouldn't really mind! So lately all I wanted was some party where I could dance all night long... and maybe die (of happiness, some kind of epiphany)!! Last saturday it finally happened. Me, her and a friend of her, a famous DJ (anyone cares?!). It took place in a hotel lobby. 80s hits playing on the pickups... Madonna, George Michael, Michael Jackson... I hate all that stuff! But I was so in the mood, even if they played the 5th of Beethoven I would dance the same way! And I danced so much! And the way I danced... It was so funny, I was dancing and looking so oddly... everyone were staring at me! Everytime I looked around I saw someone looking at me and I recalled There's Too Much Love, and laughed while thinking that perhaps I was causing offense by the way I looked! And I drunk like when I was 17, when I used to drink until I couldn't walk... but last saturday I could walk, and dance, and what's really strange, feel happy! It is sad to say it, but everytime I drink too much I feel very depressed, insecure... but that night, I don't know what happened, I was feeling great! I didn't care what people were thinking about me, I didn't care if my pants were too tight, or my dancing was too weird, I just closed my eyes and danced, and danced, and danced... It's been quite a while since Zoe asked some opinion about the Yeah Yeah Yeahs... Well, better later than never... I think THEY ROCK!!! Their sound is really good, but I think Karen O. is up to now, what really stands out! Her voice is nice, her accent is funny, and her performance is something (which I saw here: http://www.punkcast.com) But as god only knows when they will release their EP here in Brazil, I think I'll burn my own bootleg... thanx Audiogalaxy! And I'm looking for some party where I can dance to their songs, maybe just before Head On! Well, as this post is totally pointless and quite contentless, and currently it's the gig reporting season, I'd like to say a word about what I saw last Tuesday at the Mogwai's gig: STUPEFYING!!! I lost my way, literally! When I was walking back home it took me some time until I realized I was going to the wrong direction! And now some B&S content: Storytelling, the album, is goodl! Storytelling, the song, is wonderful! But I've never read about them playing this song live. Does anyone know if it ever happened? And if you're reading this paragraph... Thank you for being so patient! I will try harder next time, but I needed something to come out of Lurkerland, as it's been almost a month I don't show up! Kisses & hugs!
