Sinister: only me!

hello and welcome to MY NEW ADDRESS, isn't it fab, a bit of a pain to type though, you have to jump from left to right all the time.I must say, it feels very luxurious being on hotmail. ThaNK you HONEY for whipping me out of the nusery as soon as i arrived. Now that the sun is shining people seem to be talking about relationships and love, there have been some wonderful stories and tales but it is all getting a bit depressing now. I fear i could quite possibly be the shyest most socially backward person in the whole of Blighty (well, maybe not but i am definitely crap). So i've liked this guy for months, he is lovely, he is single, he is friendly, he is great. I managed so far to do him two tapes, each time leaving it a few weeks before asking him "what do you think of it", he tells me then i go "great" and run off into a little corner as far away as possible. I have even bought two tickets for a gig in the intention to ask him to go with me, this gig is on sunday and i havent asked him yet, i have a horrible feeling it's just not going to happen. And if it does, well, shit, that's even more scary. Shyness makes me want to smash things. I won't be able to go bowling, snif, or go to "how does it feel" double-snif BUT i am going to FORCE myself to do something saturday evening so if there is any shenanegans happening text me :07714352796 and if anyone wants to go see the clientele (david M) let me know coz i would LOVE to see them. thanks love hannah bxxxxxxxxxx _________________________________________________________________ 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.

Is the new Bowie album 'heathen' any good? I've read pretty decent reviews but I ain't too sure. _________________________________________________________________ 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: 'i love you because you gave me sausage and cheese when i was hungry'
by rrrrobyn 18 Jun '02

18 Jun '02

people! that subject line is an actual line from a mountain goats song called 'earth air water trees'. i can barely believe it. i think that even though it's not b&s it should be a sinister mantra. especially if we added 'and wine'. aaw. (how can the topic of cheese be so popular? i guess b/c it's *cheese*. yum.) a bit sad this morning. but i'm listening to the lucksmiths, which is making me exponentially happier. watching the italy-korea match was weird. the cafe was packed full of italians and i was tired. it reminded me of highschool, and you know how it is when you're reminded of highschool... a kind of grimey nostalgia, and you'd rather not feel any nostalgia at all. also, i was kind of cheering for both teams, myself. wrong of me? i am a fence-sitting canadian of the highest order. so when korea won i both feigned indignant disbelief and smiled from ear to ear. life, eh? can't make a decision to save it. so i've been wanting to be outdoors lately, like camping in the wildes of british columbia. but instead i've been sitting in cafes with smelly old italian men and shouting at a tv screen. summer solstice is on friday though, so i think i may do something like go to the beach and watch the sun go down. y'know, to remind me of the natural connection between cycles and progress, and in there the straight-up beauty of it all. aah, yeah, that's nature. sigh. i don't know, i really can't believe i got into watching the world cup as much as i have. a readily adopted obsession. can't imagine that i ever once thought that 4am was too early to wake up to watch the semifinals, let alone the final. pshaw, i didn't even go to sleep on friday night. one grows so much in two weeks. (aaagh. robyn falls asleep at her desk.) also, i told myself not to write to sinister while this tired. y'know, so tired i don't feel tired anymore but my eyelids won't budge past halfway open. yar. i'm actually almost as excited about these two consecutive nights of full-on sleep as i am about the upcoming matches. excited in an under-the-covers-drinking-tea-and-falling-asleep-reading kind of way. yes, so for some reason, i'm going to hit 'send' anyway. i'm just going to say also that i wanted to address things in other people's posts b/c i do read them and they make me think, laugh, cry, etc., but right now i'm not so hot in the 'memory' department. and it seems so far away from the 'wit and other accessories' department. i'm just going to buy this 50%-off pair of neon socks and be done with it. apologies. lobby please, robyn p.s. oh yeah, right, i was going to list some good mountain goats songs to (gasp) download even if you (shock horror) don't like the mountain goats (if you give it a chance, i will give, um, elliot smith a chance (yes, that's how to win friends, robyn...)), but then, y'know, the brain not working thing... so maybe just check out songs from 'nothing for juice' and 'nine black poppies' and, i don't know, the song 'going to georgia' is great too. also, the extra glenns 'martial arts weekend' album. the mountain goats just makes me happy even though a lot of the songs are about sad things. ===== I was reading the dictionary. I thought it was a poem about everything. ~Steven Wright ~~~ Robyn Fadden rfadden(a)yahoo.com Vancouver, BC __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: we kiss in his room, to a popular tune, oh, real drowners.
by idleberry 18 Jun '02

18 Jun '02

hello sinister, as you might have guessed, there was a "picnic" on Saturday in Breams' honour. We had inteded on celebrating after he left the country, but we were too impatient to wait. I say picnic, in inverted commas,because I'd personally been hoping for an orgy. Wrong party, I guess. I could tell you lots of things about it, but I see that pigtails, lucy, And Richard The Lurker (Is that like, a title, like Richard the Lionheart? Or Alexander The Great?) and co have beaten me to it, and Richard has thus renounced his throne by not lurking. Doh! Breams put me in charge of his guitar until he returns. I was considering setting up a guitar creche, so if theres anyone with nicer guitars than mine, who would like their little darlings to be looked after by one almost careful person, then let me know. Then I started remembering how I got my first guitar. *the screen goes all hazey as we are transported back to 1994* I was 15. It was the year Kurt Cobain shot himself, only a few months after I'd discovered who he was. I didn't actually discover him- I like to think that was some record company man, but i only found out who he was recent to his death. It was the year that Suede released "Stay Together" and Bernard Butler left; The year when Wet Wet Wet were at number 1 for 15 weeks- toppled by some dizzy dididadida dane singing about saturday night. And I was fifteen, in my fourth year, about to take my standard grade exams. I'd met this boy. I had met boys before, but this was a special sort of boy- the sort you fancy. Not that he was much to look at. He had long, tangled dark brown hair, he wore black scuffed Doc Marten boots and black jeans. He had deep dark brown eyes, and wolf teeth- a spare set of teeth growing through his upper gum. He liked to wear four tops- A lemonheads one (Come On Feel The Lemonheads, I think) A levellers one, a Carter USM one and I can't remember the last one. He used to wear his short sleeved t shirt over his long sleeved one, usually under a plaid shirt, all hangin' very loose and baggy. He was a minger. He was my rock god. (well, apart from Brett Anderson, but thats another story... bottom slapping flouncer- no wonder I got into Belle And Sebastian...) This boy I fancied. He worked in the school library. He barely ever spoke, but when he did, he had this rumbling deep voice. Himand his friends used to sit at lunch times reading the NME, and saying "fuck" alot, and doing Beavis And Butthead impressions. Me? I had no indie friends. I'd only just discovered Animal Nitrate the year before by accident on my Smash Hits compilation tape, and had secretly been trying to get my head round why I found those wailing orgasmic guitars so darn sexy- without my parents overhearing it from my room when i was obviously supposed to be studying. I had posters of Keanu Reeves and Johnny Depp and Evan Dando, taken from Just 17 when they went grunge, and Smash Hits, tucked inside my blue ring binder for Technological Studies. I kept Smash Hits stickers of Brett Anderson in my private "Keep out! Really Private!!! If you read this I'll kill you!!" diary, with words and phrases like "Brett Anderson- 100% official sexgod" written next to it, in gold pen. I still have this dairy, and its a hoot to read actually. Anyway, this boy. I asked him out. He said yes. I was over the moon. I sort of asked him out actually. I think I called him a tosser or something, and then flirted with him for a week. Every time I saw him, he blushed at me. It started off with a discussion about music, and how he was going to see Nirvana play, in April in Edinburgh- it might have been Glasgow though. And I asked if he had a spare ticket. And he said no. And I asked why not. And he looked a bit confused. And I called him a tosser, cos he should have gotten m one, and then we were inseperable. The relationship itself lasted a month. We never got round to kissing. I wrote in my diary, how I tried to kiss him, but he moved away, and I missed. And I got his chin instead, and headbutted his nose in the process. Towards the end, he stopped talking to me. He wouldn't even acknowledge me, and started drooling over pictures of Eva Herzigova, who I think had started her Wonderbra "Hello Boys!" campaign, and acting basically, like a boy. And I don't ever like being ignored. So after a week of deliberating, and conferring with my friends by messages written in the back of orange maths jotters during class (we didn't have mobile phones back in those days) I decided our relationship was over. I was about to start study leave for my standard grades, so I sat, one evening in April, writing him a "Dear John" letter. His name wasn't john, by the way. I remember it so well, sitting here at my desk, as I am now. The sky had turned to late dusk, and I had my lamp on, and was listening to The Evening Session on Radio One, back in the days when I taped it, and Jo Whiley still presented it. I remember they played a song by Motorcycle Boy called "Big Rock Candy Mountain" while I wrote this letter. Anyway.I posted the letter. I went for a walk with a pal, who I went to primary school with. She had went to a different secondary school, and after a rocky start (Her dad made her wear school uniform and carry a breifcase on her first day, that he had bought her for her birthday. She got bullied rotten for a year. By 14, she rebelled against going to church on sundays and wearing laura ashley dresses, listening to music he didn't like, playing guitar instead of attending piano lessons- eventually he raided her room- throwing out her clothes, tapes, and posters of Axl Rose, He made her do lessaons at schoolshe didn't want to- so she made her own portfolio for standard grade Art with the help of her art teacher so she could do it as a higher subject. She went on to become an art therapist, and lives in Birmingham now, working with kids.) Her name was Deirdre. Her boyfriend was best mates with mine. Deirdre listened to my story, and I kept insisting I was over him. Only hours after I'd written this letter. Then iwent home and cried. Study leave came and went.I regretted dumping him. He carried on. He didn't want anything to do with me. The summer term arrived. So did a new crush.Another boy who was into music. His pal fancied my pal. We plotted together to get my friend, Jennifer and his friend together. His name was Andy. Andy was great. He did even better impressions of Beavis And Butthead, and was twice as chatty as the first guy I fancied. We even went out- into edinburgh. We went to play laserquest, and then to the cinema, all with the idea of getting his pal and mine together, on thi double date. Throughout the summer holidays, I couldn't think of anyone else but Andy. I went to Norway, and told my pal there about this guy I liked back home. After summer holidays, Andy ignored me. (see a pattern?) My pal Jennifer changed schools, and I was on my own. At first, I thought "ok, he's back from holiday. No pressure. He'll get round to talking to me, after he's seen his guy pals" but thatnever happened. The indie kids at school didn't like me. I was an outcast with my own kind. They went to Teenage Fanclub gigs, and I wanted to go with them, but I wasn't allowed. They wouldn't let me go with them. The kids at school bullied me. I was in fifth year. I got it from all angles. From the younger year. From my year. I'd hide in a corer of the library, writing stories, just to get through lunchtimes and breaktimes. Andy called me cruel names, so did his pals. They sneered when I walked past. I soon got over my crush for Andy. But I began to miss the guy I'd been out with. He'd been my boyfriend, if only for a month. Surely he must be different? deeper? So anyway. All the boys were into guitars. So what did I do? Decided to ask for a guitar for my 16th birthday. Sure enough, I got one, from a music shop in Hamilton. When I went to tell these blokes, they asked what sort it was. "Accoustic" "Accoustic guitars are shit.". There was a lot more mess at 16, and pretty much for most of being 16, I got bullied. I tried to fit in, but I didn't. I was weird. I was a freak. They caled me that. They wrote it on the blackboard in the common room. So I just listened to Suede on my walkman, and wrote stories and poems. Eventually, it got better. But not for a while. Still. I got a guitar. Sometimes, I'm guilty of buying things to impress people. And usually, it doesn't impress. Like the time I bought a Velvet Underground album so this other bloke would like me, when I was 18. But. The best bit. Forgetting the boys- all the boys- I got some cool stuff. And the remenants of teenage "please like me" moments, are things I love now. My guitar. My Velvet Underground album. I'd rather have them than the boys. You can always have more fun with a guitar than you can with a teenage boy. It'll last a lot longer and be your faithful companion when you need it most. And whats more, I'm off to pretend to be 15 again, and pogo round my room to Suede. she sells hearts, she sells meat, oh dad, shes driving me mad, come see ;) Like. what-eva. idleberry ===== http://groups.yahoo.com/group/corduroysmoke/ starting playground gossip and passing notes __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: de-flowered a second time
by bus stoppers 18 Jun '02

18 Jun '02

dearest dears, so as of this past weekend, i have met two sinisters. (is that list abuse? i honestly hope that i am not committing a crime...) a meet-up of sorts took place on saturday. mr. john wojcik took me out on a high school date. it was all very new to me as i had never been on a real date before and all. john, my precious valentine, took me out to prove to me that not every male with a big thing is an A-hole. and he succeeded. as of saturday, i now realize with my new-found reality, that there really are possiblities of hanging out with guys and going out with them and not being treated like a piece of female cake to be devoured at all costs. we had sushi. we had beer. and had cheek kisses. the only problem now is that he lives on the opposite coast and though we are always there, we aren't there close enough. i miss him... gotta take the good and beautiful with the not so fun because that's what it's all about. friends are a gift that one needs to always except. love, sara hug a friend today :) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: A load of old rubbidge
by Lucy Alder 18 Jun '02

18 Jun '02

You know, sometimes not writing to Sinister for ages and ages and ages means you suddenly have a whole great load of things to say all at once and you have to post twice in as many weeks! I feel a whole host of headings coming on. *Picnic Apologies* 1. To Stefano for forcing him to endure my drunken Italian ramblings 2. To everyone else for forcing them to endure my drunken English ramblings 3. To the delectable Ally C for actually forgetting he was at the picnic until last night (I am the lowest of scumbags) 4. To anyone who came within sniffing distance of my chunk of cheese 5. To the polis for drinking in public. Actually, no apology thereI change my mind, I don't apologise for this. You can do it in Primrose Hill. Sniff 6. To all of YOU for not being able to give an adequate list of names and places, especially after Caity Pig went all coy on you. See point three above for further details of appalling memory loss *Nuts* The Brazilian contingent seem to have been rather quiet of late. Does this have anything to do with the football? While were on the subject of ball-chasing, lets all commiserate with Big Gay Mark who watched Italy get whumped by Korea today, poor luv. Having said that, did anyone else totally love the free kick that went straight under the jumping wall? *Slutty girls* Jason, make Honey proud. Do it. *Thai lovelies* I am extremely annoyed at Oon for choosing to bless our fair isle with her presence while Ally and I will be in Sweden. Pah! Still, a trip to Malmo/Kalmar/indiemusicfestivalthingies might give us the opportunity to meet up with Scandinavian list types - anybody else going? *Blatant List Abuse* Having written a Proper Post, I feel entitled to put in a teensy bit of promotional material at this point: THE WINCHESTER CLUB THIS FRIDAY WOODSIDE SOCIAL CLUB, GLASGOW FEATURING *MALCOLM MIDDLETON OF ARAB STRAP FAME* *TROIKA* *HOT DJ ACTION* Right, thats your lot Juicy Lucy ===== The one, the only Glasgow Indie List! http://groups.yahoo.com/group/glasgow-indie/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Come on and wreck my car, come on and wreck my country
by Stefano [Steady-State] 18 Jun '02

18 Jun '02

Heido Sinister As mentioned by the always almighty Ken Chu there has been kind of bad mood waving trough the sinistrer recently. Me being one of the ship drowning character I’ll try to do my best, supported by a consistent number of pints after the footy... btw have anyone noticed italy have lost their mach again against korea as inn1966 and who did won the competition that time? .. shhhshshshhhhhhhhh...../ So hat can I do the invert the trend... in my little own I tried to stop posting :) but actually I can report some at least one good new from me own: I could came back safe from home and do not have to join the army hopefully at least until September... which is not too bad considering i was supposed to be there... TOMORROW... while I can stay rather happily in London, moreover I’m probably moving from the place I’m actually staying [as soon as possible] and will be a nice occasion to immediately trash my new place... if any sinister want to give me a hand is just welcome! Mail me and will occur in the disgrace of meet me... I’ve recently managed to lose all my documents, hence it would have been quite funny to testify to the Glasgow police officer {Madame} who the hell was the guy drinking in the park... I don’t know how we could manage to look like very sorry and twee tourists who didn’t know you’re supposed to be sober while walking trough (lovely) Scottish windmills(?) ruins.... but no one underage, might be Bell, but she didn’t drunk that much, did she?? Thank you SO much to all the people who have been up there which has been mostly mentioned before and hence my contribution would be over redundant in this case... ~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~# Sinister Invasion of Centre Italy. Well, that is just a kind of dream... the sinister collective to Occasion: ‘Frequanxe disturbate’ [biased frequencies] Festival in Urbino Italy... Give me a reason Why: Reason #1: here is the program: 1nd August: GIANT SAND Afterhours One Dimensional Man 2nd August: MARK LANEGAN Midwest 3rd August: MOGWAI IKARA COLT Emidio Clementi Not too bad isn’t it? Reason #2: location. The festival is located in one of the mot wonderful Italian Renaissance cities, Urbino. The site is absolutely stunning, and is not from most of the other beautiful centre-italian cities (i.e. Gubbio, Assisi, Perugia, etc.. all connected by bus... by which you can get to Rome if brave enough ) Reason #3 the accommodation is very cheap if booked in advanced [ I mean in reasonable advance], something like 5/7 quid per day, in rooms facing the very centre of the city.. in front of duke Ferdinando II di Montefeltro (Ferdinado the 2nd of Montefeltro... portrayed by Piero della Francesca) Reason #4: Ryanair is fling to a rather close airport (about 2:30), and it is going to be possible to get in the city by an about an hour bus journey. Reason #5... I can’ find any other reason... but I have tried at least... Well if anyone interested please just e-mail and swear I’ll do my best.. BTW I’ve been there the last two years and It has been amazing {might be consider reason number #6? No because I am not reliable}.. Take care, love stefano PS; bonus points to mach the headline citation :) Here's a prediction: when you have stories to tell, you'll tell them.

Sinister: The Way the Dead Love
by jason.cochrane＠HydroOne.com 18 Jun '02

18 Jun '02

Ah... what to do, indeed.... I need un-biased advice...because I know what I want to do.... I'm just not sure what I am suposed to do.... I met two lovely girls on the weekend, they're on the slutty side but all and all they are not bad people. They both moved out to Toronto last month from P.E.I. to take jobs and an apartment. Turns out one of them has something of a crush on me. Only problem is she is 17 (for the record it should be noted that it would not be illegal for me to do anything with her, not in Canada anyway besides she turns 18 in literally 2 weeks) and I am 21. She wants me to take her out dancing and drinking friday night...... I don't know how to respond to that... these are not "nice" girls by any stretch of the imagination, they drink quite alot, and do a lot of drugs that I don't do anymore (and some I do). It's not like they have mummy's and daddy's waiting for them at home and are in high school. I would never have thought that they were so young.. if they hadn't told me. So here I sit, waiting for a return phone call from her and I dont' quite know what to say. She is quite attractive and I am most certainly not. Is it possible to be a letch at 21? -Jason +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: what is that, a shrimp?

Hey sinister, My name is Richard and this is my first post. On Saturday I attended the picnic of RAWK. It was my first sinister picnic and Id like to thank everyone for making me feel welcome: Jamie, Idleberry, Gayle, Keith, Thomas, Lucy, Jeremy, Caitlin, Stefano, Michel, Callum, Gordon, Ally, Beer and anyone else I cant remember because I may have been too drunk ( you know who you are even if I dont) Picnic of Rawk was an apt description by caitlin I think. The male policeman seemed quite nice but the female police lady seemed particularly evil. She subsumed herself to the myth/fact of sinister criminal potency and followed through with truncheons/affirmitive language. My last run in with authority was when the security guard at my uni halls told me to turn down the VU (apparently his life hadnt been saved by rock n roll). So I think the picnic wins the title of most rawk. Meanwhile whilst perusing guestbooks I noticed that Stuart Murdoch has finally reached the pinnacle of literary achievment (see Jan 27th) http://books.dreambook.com/ptpittman/sodastream.html Regards, Richard _________________________________________________________________ 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.
