I feel better now that I've contributed to posting a "good" post. It was great. Also, it would be cool to have a new pair of trousers. GREAT BIG THANK YOU to everyone who reported back on the US gigs. Casarotto, Ben Apps, Stevie Trousse, Paul Healy and Stefano S. I thought it was a practical joke everyone were playing on me. SEX!) My family has a tradition when it comes to making friends. Friends I thought were gone from my life, are back, bringing a smile to my face. All I can say is that i've fallen in love and destiny awaits. Miss Marianna masquerading as someone who serves therapy. I think we should have a contest who can listen to it the most times. SINISTER NAMESAKE MIXTAPE CHALLENGE Remember that? Lemme Recap. i cheated in one of these, but it was one i really liked. sue me. Greekyland and me will try to rest a bit from all the studying... Raymond Carver: And did you get what you wanted, after all? I did. Sam and Patrick looked at me. And I looked at them. And I think they knew. I was the son of my career, but I was born for the streets as well. I left my plastic bubble. This is the year I found you, sinister. I have to work. I have to choose. I have to say no. I have to cry. I want to dance, I want to make new friends. I want get get drunk and stoned... Finnegan's Wake? I am thinking of trying to read it in my break.

Sinister: Peaches in Göteborg this Tuesday
by Matilda Liljedahl 03 Jun '02

03 Jun '02

Is there anybody out there? Who´s going on the Moldy peaches concert in Göteborg this tuesday. You better answer quickly because I need some company. I'm sorry if this is considered list abuse, but my friends don't think it's worth the money (silly idiots) so what am I supposed to do? Well, I already know what to do. I'm going there witout them but it would be much more nice to go with some sinister I can pretend I know. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Foto är det enklaste sättet att dela eller skaffa papperskopior av dina foton: 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: Down And Out In Glasgow And London
by breams 03 Jun '02

03 Jun '02

Hello again sinister, It's not normal for me to post twice without vanishing from peoples' inboxes and memories in the meantime. So I had better make my rule-bending justified. Here goes... I'm leaving the country*. *For those of you that are in the UK, I'm leaving your country. For those in Australia, I'm re-entering your country. And for those in the rest of the world, I'm leaving one and entering another. Simple as that. Right, the point? I'm sure I had one before... Oh yeah, as I'm leaving/returning/other soon I think it's time to organise some leaving/returning/other picnics and happenings to celebrate/mourn/other. Glasgow - I'll be up for the last time in a while on the afternoon of the 14th June and returning to London on the 16th June, so the idea that has been bounced about is to have a picnic/meet-up/piss-up/piss-off starting at Kelvinbridge underground at 2pm on Saturday 15th June. Anyone that wants to come along to that is more than welcome, even if you have no clue as to who I am, or why you should/shouldn't care. Anyone who's not sure about timing, place, etc and wants to suggest/discuss other details drop me an email off list and I can tell you where to go. London - Other than the plethora of regular shindigs that happen in this most happening of happening cities, there shall be a final for the Sinister Bowling League 2001/02 season (well I'm calling it the final as it's the last one I'm attending, and without me and Mr Apps to assist in organising, where will you be!?) on the 22nd June. At this stage I'm open for times and the choice of venues is probably between Hollywood Bowl and Queensway. The final decision will probably depend on the number of people attending and whether or not anyone wants to ice skate, so get those responses in quick smart to avoid the disappointment of your preferences being completely ignored. Oh yeah, I guess one or two of you might want to know when I'm leaving (celebratory drinks, wakes, etc). I'm flying out on the 23rd June, around midday apparently. I'm not sure about the details, I just let my (travel) agent sort these things out for me. Well, I guess I should stop this post being entirely self-indulgent wank, and put something of vague relevance in here too. Hmmm, trying to think of something applicable. Well, there was a lovely picnic on Primrose Hill on Saturday. Many people where in attendance, all of whom I should be able to name but can't. So, as to ensure everyone present and correct is offended and not just a few willy-nilly-would-be-picknickers, I'll refrain from attempting to list anyone altogether. Glad we got that sorted out then. Contrary to the rule applied to alcohol consumption at Sinister picnics (which is something like "The number of attendees multiplied by 82 equals the number of units consumed per person in the entirety of the outing") There was a definite lack of true drunkenness and debauchery (though that could be read as "Jeremy was sober and single") by the standards set at previous picnics. A gaping hole in our communal planning was highlighted when no footballs were found to be in the possession of picnic-goers. A crisis was averted however when a dispatch was sent to remedy the shortcomings of the group ("You said you were bringing one!" "No I didn't...that was last week!" etc etc). To put a longwinded story out of breath, we offered a match to some chaps sitting in our vicinity and thus negated the need for a ball of our own (this didn't stop the ball arriving in our absence of course). We lost (well I say "we", but as I played for the other team to make up numbers , I managed to be on the winning side. I must add, the victory was in no way mine. If anything, I assisted Sinister by playing for the opposition!), but all seemed to have fun in the sun regardless. 'Twas a bit of a balmy afternoon in the end though, and before long the collective of sweet indie boys (sic) were a rabble of sweating and gasping indie boys with nothing to show for their effort but the bitter taste of defeat and a sparkling clean football to be kept as a "communal list ball", for next time I assume. Anyhow, the rest of the day/evening/night was a somewhat standard affair of pub, noodle house and discussions of the merits of Buffy vs Harry Potter. Apparently people slept together (or stayed together, one of the two) later that night, but I was not lucky enough to get lucky. So...well...umm...yeah...I think that's my cue to wind this up and go home (literally). I'll see some of you soon, some of you later and some of you never. Take care all. Love Jeremy ps. To anyone who considers posting reviews/right-ups/reports of picnics/shindigs/gigs in the future. Please remember this one as an example of how not to do it. Instead, read one of ken's, he'll enlighten you if you ask him nicely. -------------------------------- http://www.breams.co.uk Home of all things breamsy +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Valedictory address
by Salako * 02 Jun '02

02 Jun '02

My lovely listmates~ I am now 18 and officially DONE with high school for good. It's an odd feeling - to be in educational limbo/freefall, as I have been brainwashed by 13 years in a tiny school to feel that my whole schooling process would be completely out of my hands. Now I have 3 months to read an entire list of 'required reading' and somehow gear myself for real college. Gonna die. For my birthday I got an Underwood! I real Underwood - 50s vintage, in perfect working order. I feel like Kerouac. Am dying to go do Kerouacian things in order to have something to write about... although I haven't quite told my parents about that one yet :P. I wanted a corset, but that just didn't materialize... I was quite angry, although I don't understand why it's such a horrendously strange request. I have always had a passion for Merchant-Ivory productions, and I already own a velvet cape, so I figured it would be a natural progression. Guess not. Figgers. It's funny when you know a song or a CD so well that you can sing every word and hum every chord progression and instrument part, and then you go back and read, actually read the lyrics. The whole meaning (gut-level) can change when you sing along versus just read the lyrics. The words are still the same, but something changes in your grasping of them. Coming from an inveterate car singer... I can enjoy the same CD at least 2 different ways, and gain completely different things from each way. Or am I just an idiot? I'm counting down the days until "Storytelling"... and am horribly torn up as whether to download as much as I can before I buy it (bright and early June 4) or just wait and hear the whole thing new and sparkly. Any way, I am biding my time listening to the Shins' "Oh, Inverted World" - god this group is yummy. I just keep surprising myself as to how much I love them. Boys doing pretty things on acoustic guitars and Casio keyboards... can a dreamy girl ask for more? Well, this has been epic, so I'd better shut up. happy day~ Ann "There's too much caffeine in your bloodstream... and a lack of real spice in your life" The Smiths _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Free cd!
by terry underwear 02 Jun '02

02 Jun '02

well for me anyway. i won a copy of Storytelling on Friday, lucky little me. i don't get it until Tuesday but. Still, a brand spanking new B&S record is surely as good as free things get. i am itching to get my hands on it. i have one week of lectures left for the semester, then one exam, then a very nice 5 week break. i have reached the stage where i can't be arsed doing assignments anymore and just want to sip G&T's instead of going to lectures. Only three weeks to go i keep telling myself, finish these assignments and study for my exam. Only three weeks to go i keep telling myself, why not go and get drunk. i'm finding it harder to be a student everyday. has anyone read Finnegan's Wake? I am thinking of trying to read it in my break. if anyone has read it, on completion do you feel: (a) "well that was a fine way to spend x amount of hours" in a sincere tone; or (b) "well that was a fine way to spend x amount of hours" in a sarcastic, i wasted my break, kind of tone. and any suggestions as to which B&S t-shirt i should buy myself for my birthday? thanks for listening. terry ________________________________________________________ Outgrown your current e-mail service?

Sinister: In spite of not wearing specs...
by Fernando Brito 01 Jun '02

01 Jun '02

...I can't focus. I feel like I lost my specs. It's about concentration... I go to work, but I'm not there. I went to an IBM course last week, I wasn't there. Guess how much I learned! Guess how much it costed!! Lately it's been her, but I met her just a month ago, and it began around February. It comes from farther in the past. Maybe 1997, when I entered the wrong college. Maybe 1985, when I entered school. Maybe it's because of our national educational system. They let you go out of school even if you have nothing but Fs. So I didn't study at all. That's why I'm stupid and my posts are crappy! Maybe it's because of my mother... She gave me everything, she did everything for me and to me. Maybe it's because I was cute (I'm not cute anymore, so you don't have to puke!)... people used to like me, so... I never had to work hard, I never had to win anything! Not even (ok, now you can puke!) the girls! So I always took the easier path. There was always someone to make the choices for me. There was always someone to work for me. Now I'm being born. First I thought I was her son, but I was born before I met her. So I thought I was the son of my career, but I was born for the streets as well. Am I the son of life? Am I the son of 2002? People talk about 1968 and forget about 1969. I will never remember 2001 - with planes crashing into buildings, with people plunging from the 100th floor while I was having lunch in a restaurant, with a useless war (was Afghanistan a war? I call that counter-terrorism) - the same way I will remember 2002. This is the year I was born. This is the year I left my plastic bubble. This is the year I found you, sinister. Now that I'm living, that I'm alive, I have to work. I have to choose. I have to say no. I have to cry. I have to LIVE. And now I found out what is the best thing about being alive... I'm never ready! Everything is new and unpredictable. It's SOOO much funnier this way! I used to think I was ready for anything! HA! Poor little kid! So I guess I know why I can't focus... I'm 7 now! I want to go out and play. I don't want to stay at home or at work, I want to have fun! I want to dance, I want to make new friends. I want get get drunk and stoned... And I wonder how my pubescence is going to be!

Sinister: can i get you something to drink?
by shanny jean 01 Jun '02

01 Jun '02

so i can't wait any more. i need a new b&s album. i cannot wait anymore. somewhere in this world, billions of copies lie in celophane. and i sit here. waiting. anxiously. i cannot take it. oh lordy i cannot take it. i have become a waitress, or Server if you prefer political correctness. i wear a carefully pressed apron and give older folks their breakfast all day long. your eggs can be cooked any way you want them. your bread can be cooked however you want them. of Course you can substitute fries for hashbrown casserole! and how about another sweet tea? water too? sure! water for all eighteen of you? sure! and you want butter and whipped cream and gravy on the side? SURE! i have no soul. none. i am going to go wash my corporate accepted shirt and pants. and make sure my hygeine is acceptable. goodbye friends, shannyjean "When I was done reading the poem, everyone was quiet. A very sad quiet. But the amazing thing was that it wasn't a bad sad at all. It was just something that made everyone look around at each other and know they were there. Sam and Patrick looked at me. And I looked at them. And I think they knew. Not anything specific really. They just knew. And I think that's all you can really ask from a friend." --from "the perks of being a wallflower" _________________________________________________________________ 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.

01 Jun '02

Hello everyone How do you fall in love in that normal way all my friends are falling in love? I need some consulting here. I love his eyes and I want him to love me but I don't think i'm in love. I don't love anyone, and that's really a bad feeling. I don't really like reading about other people´s love problems, but maybe somone else likes to read about mine:) _________________________________________________________________ Kom med i världens största e-posttjänst med MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: when it hurts we return to the banks of certain rivers
by sophia katrina 01 Jun '02

01 Jun '02

DISCLAIMER: this is not one of those goodbye post that tells you all you suck, so please, read on. It's been a week of strange epiphanies - including but not limited to *Tibetan Buddhism *Househunting nirvana: a live/work space at a bargain price that will allow me to fulfill my lifelong dream of moving into a huge unheatable warehouse like the characters in Rent *Run-on sentences that don't make sense *Overdoses of caffeine *Words said to me in a bar, late at night, that made me feel like I was in the elevator in the Empire State building that plummets to the ground so quickly that it feels like your body has been left behind at the top Now that I'm leaving for ports unknown (tomorrow I really am taking the bus from St. Kilda to King's Cross, then on to Britain & Europe - because for some reason English people think these are two separate places - then the States). It's time to bid you all so long, farewell, auf wiedershen, selamat datang and adieu (or should I say au revoir) until August. It's been swell, kids. Some poorly remembered parting words from Raymond Carver: And did you get what you wanted, after all? I did. To be beloved, To call myself beloved on this earth. Much love, your Sophia XXX P.S. I'm stuck in New York City on standby for 2 weeks in July.
