Sinister: haikus revealed // weeks twentyseven // two thousand and two
by ee fumblings 15 Jul '02

Well, no matter, now the damage is done...just sit down and listen. The plan is that this will MAKE LEARNING FUN. I'll let you know if it works. Go shopping for red knickers now! Five years, blimey. That's a lot of posts. The songs included some Storytelling tracks and they worked really well. A great Icelandic band called The Leaves opened the gig and did it well. Hey Gummi, I saw a great band last night, I think they were called Slowblow. Just had an email from a friend recommending Kippi Kaninus. I dragged him along though, and needless to say he was very impressed. Eh? Security Guy: They are a band. There are more than two of them. Oh, I know what I mean! Welcome aboard Reggie and other 'newbies'. One in Newcastle next week and one in Leeds the week after. Yikes. Why I didn't think that would apply to "indy" music I don't know. It's even better than Spider-Man (well, it has more depth, anyway). If you fancy tall boys with dark hair, I should be right up your alley. GIVE YOUR WOMAN MORE PLEASURE! i'm NOT kidding. no. i don't have penis. Clive noticed scuff marks on the threadbare carpet that he hadn't seen before. I don't doubt it an awful lot. but I won't hold my breath: I would die. I am human too. well, neil robertson. isn't HE a NICE guy? HEY. I could be/feel as big and clever as I used to be/do. do/be. Sometimes, you just sit and stare at your screen and you don't know what to type. I got ill again this week; it keep happening. Moon River and me. But now that's over I have to get into the real work, and I'm stuck. I sit in bed and can't sleep, because too many things are on my mind. The only goats here are getting long in the tooth, and short on the truth. It's easier to stay indoors....in my castle where I am despot. It hovers, that cloud of confusion...and I beat it back with reason. // ee // +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: reporting back, swearing off
by Robert Brennan 15 Jul '02

15 Jul '02

Hello. A picnic happened on Saturday. Jolly nice it was too since various B&S-loving pagan weather gods got together to make it a bluddy glorious day for an all-out indie assault on Primrose Hill. Lots of people came, much wine was drunk, cakes and scones and biscuits (courtesy of Liz and SGS) were greedily consumed. Picnic mummy Mark did a grand job of keeping us all under control when some inflatable Muji ball antics threatened to get out of hand and interfere with the neighbouring picnic - ROCK AND/OR ROLL! Traditional sporting events ensued. Those of us who eschew the way of the football were entertained by some hot badminton action (courtesy of Archel) and the violent death of several shuttlecocks. Cassarole & Daplyn's controlled high-power rallying contrasted favourably against my flail-wildly-in-the-vague-direction-of-any-sudden-movement tactic. Strange Fruit happened that evening. It was GRATE although like Ken's, my memories are pretty vague apart from a hazy recollection of dancing to Roxy Music as though my life depended on it. Yay! Endless waiting for night buses, sleep, hangover then BOWLING!! In marked contrast to the last event, I wasn't too crap. Must bowl under the influence of ibuprofen more often. MAD PROPS to Mark for mummying and DJing, Liz for bed, toast and painkillers and Ken for bowling-mummying. [][][][][][] Ken mentioned the potty-mouth hit parade on the back of IYFS. Maybe Mick and the Gaffer-in-Chief could have a competition to show off their cussing chops right here on the list and let the whole of Sinister decide who is the sweariest of all? Hmm?

Sinister: the odour of hospital food takes a long time to pass you by
by Mark Hester 15 Jul '02

15 Jul '02

As it happened I didn't actually have any. I escaped just in time. Sorry Bappsy, can't make it to the Santa Monica Palisades Park...slight problem of being in the wrong continent and all. I'm sure it'll be grebt tho. I wasn't able to make it to the London shehanigans on account of somebody, to paraphrase "Levi Stubbs' Tears", leaving a hole in my body where no hole should be. Don't worry, it wasn't some knifeman in a darkened alley committing a heinous act, but rather a kindly antipodean surgeon, whose only words of advice were that I should avoid KFC after my appendectomy, something which I think I can manage without too many problems. It so happened that they were introducing a scheme in the hospital to give every patient a plasma-screen tv, but unfortunately, they came online the day after I left, so I had to content myself with a "not in service" sign on a pleasant aquamarine background. And now I have a nice scar to show people..mmm..mmm. One thing I have been trying to do during my convalescence is go onto chat, but whenever I do I find that I'm the only person there (sob!) so I wonder what the peak time is for such activities. Another thing is practicing the piano. It's been in the house for a couple of months now and I have never had a piano lesson in my life, so it's not the easiest thing in the world to accomplish, but I thought I'd better while I've got time on my hands. It's certainly better than what I was doing last week, which was playing the ancient computer game Lemmings which my girlfriend recently purchased on CD-ROM. There's only so much bridging, tunnelling and pick-axing a boy can take. Ken reminded us: They are in order of rudeness starting with the most foul-mouthed. Mick Cook ah yes, but that's Mick COOK. Mick COOKE is always most polite.

Sinister: If you're feeling hungover
by Kenneth P Y Chu 15 Jul '02

15 Jul '02

What's happening dudes, There has been much frolics in the past few days by the London Sinister Squadrons, but precious little reporting back. It's actually a delibrate ploy that we want to hide all the gossips from you. Or in my case (and a few other people's) can't remember a bloody thing cos I was ratarsed. The main jizz of it though was that a lot of people came, and had fun with some singing and dancing on Friday, some football and badminton and beachball semi-deflation and rope skipping and dancing on Saturday and some bowling and bowling lane fixing on Sunday! With a sensible and moderate amount of drinking in the mix of things. A rough count of people revealed that about 29 people turned up for the picnic, therefore I won't try and name everyone. Strange Fruits was oddly great, as usual, apart from the bit when they started playing some really depressing music that only girls listen to. Archel was pulled by a bouncer. Oh and Liz and Sarah were our wonderful Sinister Master Bakers of the picnic, a little slower off the Mark, it actually took them a few hours, but the stuff they made at the end were "properly nice" according to the surprised boy G. Badminton rally record was 7(?) hits.. and the record for "single dutch"** was 3(?) jumps, with 4 jumpers. Now for something completely different. Has anyone ever read the very very small prints on the back of the "If you're feeling sinister" CD? You know? The bit that had .".Sarah Martin is our new member for this record.". at the start? If you read it carefully, later on it thanks a whole load of other people, to quote; "A lot of other people helped us in a friendly fashion, and we really ought to thank them. They are in order of rudeness starting with the most foul-mouthed. Mick Cook, Tony Doogan, Mark Jones, Vanessa Sanders, Geoff Allen, Clara MacLaverty, Laura Molloy, Karen Glover ............ Neil Robertson! ..." Fuck me with a cunt! I dread to think how foul-mouthed Mick Cook is. Arse and Red Bulls Ken * delete inappropriate punctuations around quotation marks as appropriate ** single dutch = half a double dutch? _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with 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: The Shermans
by Tsong 15 Jul '02

15 Jul '02

Hello All, I don't post much, but I understand that the sinisters are a resourceful bunch and that if I ever had any questions, I could probably find the answers from one of us, so... Does anyone like the Swedish group The Shermans? I just got the Happiness is Toy Shaped album and I love it. Too bad that the lyrics don't come with the CD. Does anyone know where I can find them? I'd really appreciate any information. Cheers, Elsa +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: In the summer all the workers head out for the sandy beach
by Ben Apps 14 Jul '02

14 Jul '02

Good day to you Ladies and Gentlemen. And Ken. I am happy to announce the details of a Sinister knees-up in Southern California on Saturday the 27th of July. And just to avoid any confusion, no, a knees up isn't a sexual position as a housemate of mine once mistakenly assumed ;-) The Venue: Santa Monica Palisades Park. Meeting point: under the sign on the entrance to the pier. Here: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Lakes/1674/pierlive.html The Time: 3pm I will be your picnic daddy but the real boss will be Rachel Fruitloop. She reliably informs me that the park has nice green grass and shady palm trees, a CAMERA OBSCURA! and a municipal pool for all your junior life-saving needs. Plus there's lots of fun fayre on the pier and the beach so we can show off our perfectly toned and bronzed bodies. Bring food, bring drink, bring conversation, music and laughter. But most of all bring yourselves...and each other. I've probably forgotten something important. So if you want to come or think of something I missed send me or Rachel an email blind_lisa(a)yahoo.com . I'm really really excited and looking forward to meeting all the boys and girls in da 'hood!

Sinister: UK listees: Help needed in Leeds next weekend
by Jules Markham 13 Jul '02

13 Jul '02

Hi, I'm not Jules, I'm just using her email account. I'm Mike, her lesser half. Anyway, my friend and I are going to indiepop festival gojonnygogogogo next weekend (20th & 21st) in Leeds and I was wondering if anyone has a floor I could sleep on? Preferably one that is indoors. Our current plan is to sleep in a park, but we feel we'll enjoy the Sunday shows more if we've slept indoors. You wouldn't notice us, we'd come in around 12.30am/1am on Saturday night and get up at 8am Sunday and head off to find a breakfast outlet. Hope someone can help us out. Cheers in advance if you can. We're very nice, by the way. Details of the event can be found at thisisindie.com Love, Mikey x _________________________________________________________________ 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: He thrusts his fists against the ghosts and still insists he sees the posts...
by Jason McKinnon 12 Jul '02

12 Jul '02

"The reports of my death has been greatly under-publicised. The tabloids has been curiously silent. Why bother bother faking one's death if no one notices?" Ermm....Oh, You're here...who let you in? Well, no matter, now the damage is done...just sit down and listen. You are good at listening, aren't you Sinister One? California is an odd place...one filled with all manner of uneven events. >From L.A. Cops investigations, to SF Pot decriminalization. I stare at this place in awe and some measure of horror. This SF, CA, USA. We have zip codes here, ya know...(like 90210). Mine's 94107...a slight bit of Barbary Coast heaven called Potrero Hill. The only goats here are getting long in the tooth, and short on the truth. So, I have this apartment/flat/humble abode...it looks upon the Mission District and the Twin Peaks beyond garishly adorned by a giant out dated antennae that we affectionately call "God's Roach-Clip". It's a bit ridiculous cause everyone know that God smokes a bong...jeez! As you can imagine I spend a good deal of time looking out the windows...and cleaning wood flooring. Murphy's wax and playing jacks on shiny well-kept floors...somehow It's easier to stay indoors....in my castle where I am despot. Staring down the long corridor of days, I am dumb with something intangible...a general lethargy. A buzzing of flies around my head always keeping me from concentrating. A faint notion that the cosmology I have built is working for me no longer (or was it ever?). I found this supplement called 5-HTP...I took the happy pill on accident one day. Made from some African plant and it took some of the flies away...but I think it's just placebo. It hovers, that cloud of confusion...and I beat it back with reason. Sometimes I do. You see, I write you when the buzzing stops....just long enough to type a short missive from Interzone..(i mean) California. And try to bridge the gap that exists between my brain and the world. Sometimes it takes all I can do to convince myself that the bridge exists...to make it substantial by sheer will. But mostly, I sit and watch the fog engulf the sun and the night cold creep through my window...and the time ticking tocking. And dream of denser days. The Pickle Prince P.S. Gordon scares me no more than looking into any other Mirror. It's difficult to grasp the profundities of self-reflection..but I feel it's much easier and more penetrating when filtered through someone else's experience.

Sinister: FUN in LUNDUN
by Mark Casarotto 12 Jul '02

12 Jul '02

Hello Sinister! Just a reminder this time to everyone who may want to come to the LONDON PICNIC being held tomorrow, 2pm onwards, on top of Primrose Hill (or, if raining, in the Spread Eagle pub on Parkway in Camden). Newcomers are extremely welcome indeed, especially those with children :) We tend to congregate within about 20 yards of the summit of Primrose Hill, though a lot of people don't get there immediately on time, ahem. Oh, and can someone bring a football? Ta! After the picnic (and no doubt an adjournment to the pub), everyone is cordially invited to STRANGE FRUIT, a rather smashing club Upstairs at the Garage in Islington. I'll be doing a little DJing, but you can just cover your ears until I've finished and then have a good time. I've arranged a £3 entry fee for Sinisterines, so it's not even dear. See, you HAVE to come. It just remains for me to mention http://www.joannou.net/biondino in case anyone thinks me writing a weblog is a good idea at all. Feel free to leave comments :) Hasta banana, Mark xxx __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
