ian watson said: "I'm reminded of a lyric by The Stingrays (ask your grandad). "20 years of nothing and what have I learned/I've learned nothing" * Not that I'm saying that the correspondents below have learned nothing in their lives. It was merely the idea of looking at yourself after 20 or so years and taking stock" which reminds me of lyrics from the new idlewild album. "When days never change and it^Òs three years later It^Òs like your life, hasn^Òt changed and it^Òs three years late How does it feel to be three years late and watching your youth drift away?" from the Top Ten Smash 'you held the world in your arms'. but anyway, i won't just come on here and throw lyrics at you. i have more interesting things to say. and it may even take me up to fifteen minutes to do so. :o) helen theaker asked a question, "I've recently been listening to Evening Session and John Peel a lot more, and I'm pretty sure there are more radio programs out there that play some more interesting music than the standard R1 playlist. Has anyone come across anything they'd like to tell me about?" well, vic galloway does a show on radio scotland on a monday night called Air, which is very good. eclectic as hell. in a good way. and as i know a lot of you do not live within these borders of mine, then you can go here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/musicscotland/air and there's lots of little buttons saying 'listen again' and so on. 6music is also very good. and if you go here, http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music you can find lots of good shows to listen to. i have started to go on #sinister quite frequently. it's a good laugh, y'know. also, it keeps me indoors, which is good. that way i can't spend any more of my fast-dwindling cash reserves. another way i'm currently keeping myself entertained is by reading lord of the rings. very good it is too. although i am only 54 pages in. i should probably report back on how good it is when i've read a bit more. i went to the football on saturday. partick thistle against dundee united. it was a nil-nil draw, but still quite entertaining. the sinister thistle massive consisted of me, lucy, gav, starfire dave and my (soon-to-be-)flatmate, andy. gav even bought carmats from the club shop. that's dedication. sinister has now (vicariously) seen two football matches in the past week or so, what with the LA Sinister Picnic Massive having gone to see the 'soccer'. anybody else want to report back on football games? no real reason behind this, i just think it would be fun. right, i'm off to waste the night away on #sinister. dangerous_mike.xx ps - if anyone is going to see snow patrol in edinburgh tomorrow night, let me know. give me a call if you like (07811 100 415), especially if you're going from glasgow. we could get the bus together and have a mobile picnic. :o) >From: Ian Watson <ianwatsonuk(a)btinternet.com> >Reply-To: Ian Watson <ianwatsonuk(a)btinternet.com> >To: <sinister(a)missprint.org> >Subject: Re: Sinister: made up dreams >Date: Wed, 07 Aug 2002 00:33:35 +0100 > > >I'm reminded of a lyric by The Stingrays (ask your grandad). > >"20 years of nothing and what have I learned/I've learned nothing" > > > > >* Not that I'm saying that the correspondents below have learned nothing in >their lives.

Hi All, Young Master Brennan wrote: "S'all a bit confusing over this Burnley business ain't it?

Is he too busy these days hanging Rough Trade execs out of 5th floor windows to settle small print 'issues'?" Mr Robertson hangs out ... at The Bowlie Board*, and some while ago there he categorically stated that B&S weren't playing the ANL bash in Burnley. Apparently they were asked, but couldn't do it. *Where people have, like, conversations & stuff. I owe lots of people tapes & MD's & things like that. Sorry. They will all get sent, er, soon.

Sinister: Good radio programs?
by helen theaker 06 Aug '02

06 Aug '02

Hello, and thanks for the warm welcome. A point of discussion... I've recently been listening to Evening Session and John Peel alot more, and I'm pretty sure there are more radio programs out there that play some more interesting music than the standard R1 playlist. Has anyone come across anything they'd like to tell me about? I discovered yesterday that I could get 6music on the internet and was listening to it at work most of yesterday. It's pretty good, just loads of songs that you wouldn't normally expect to hear. It's a shame that it's a digital station. Another point of discussion, does anyone know if you can get normal radio stations on a digital radio? I know nothing about digital radio.

Sinister: The Anniversary Post!
by MyMomSays＠aol.com 06 Aug '02

06 Aug '02

To Where This Goes; Well, hello darlings. This post is going to celebrate the anniversary of several events. Let's just get right down to it, shall we? Firstly, this is the four-month anniversary of me not posting. Woo! Can you believe it's been four months since I've posted? It seems a lot of us have disappeared into the woodworking. Kirsten Kenyon? Mega shout-outz. Ally Cook? Poof! Pinefox? Come back and make us laugh. We need to entertain those people who want to hear about when Stuart Murdoch lit a cigarette or when Stevie Jackson rustled around in his V-neck sweater, or.. yeah, stuff like that. We're needed. So, yes, three months (or thereabouts) ago I met some of you. I made a damn fool of myself at the Chicago B&S show--mostly because a few of us had spent approximately 6 hours in some dive bar for the majority of the evening. But, anyway. Yeah. Hi people I met. I am going to meet some more of you coming up here. How does this keep happening? We must stop running into each other like this. It's been about a week since Richard John Gillanders posted. It's been twenty years that I've been my younger sister's older sister. I've spent twenty-two years with myself. Sometimes it's amazing to think that I've stuck with myself through the ups and downs. It's been almost three years since I joined sinister. On August 17th I will have been employed at my current employer for exactly 4 years! Now this is the part of the post where we talk about weblogs instead of anniversaries. Mark Casarotto, what's with this shameless self promotion? You are trying to beef up your site statistics, you cad. However, the lot of you who got duped into visiting Mark's weblog may have noticed my weblog is linked on his page. So maybe you got duped into looking at mine, too. Does anyone know anything about this band Death By Chocolate that are being played to death on college radio? I thought it was kind of funny because right after I had took note of their name, I read on Salon that someone in Pennsylvania actually DID have a death by chocolate--drowned in a vat of it, to be precise! This is the second year anniversary of me having a style mullet. CIAO! Mandee May P.S. Now that Ken Chu has inquired about B&S's treasure hunt clues about 1,924 times, maybe they'll finally reveal them? +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: New member
by helen theaker 06 Aug '02

Hello everybody I've just joined the mailing list, well I've just become 'active', anyway. I have a question having received a few of your emails over the last couple of weeks. Does anyone actually reply to any emails? It doesn't seem that there's much conversation going on, more a collection of soliloquies...is this true? And another question, can anyone post some more information on this Burnley thing, ie how much does it cost, where is it, when is it, how likely is it that B+S will be playing?

Sinister: may i?
by JohaN HUGO 06 Aug '02

06 Aug '02

well, hello again everybody and a howdydoody too, to you tout (tous?) so, for those of you who remember - and those of you who don't (yes, some people are that lucky) - i'm back, after a long e-mailless stint overseas. well, not quite so bad, but i had to leave, and i've been there and back again, and now more so, thanks to honey's kindly indulgence: what a bunch of spoilt children we are!) what did i do? well, the details would take a lifetime to recount - or would feel so for the listeners/readers etc. so, suffice it to say - i was in nijmegen for 6 months, indulged in a little studying and a lot of ... erm... social activity, met my first real- life iin-the-flesh sinistrian (thanks to honey for the nod of approval: actually i preferred "tweet" myself, but for some unimaginable reason, it didn't seem to catch on - i guess i just wasn't made for these times!), the wonderful marc bots - to whom everyone should be increasingly nice given the slightest opportunity - and his soon- paparazzi-will-follow-them-everywhere band holgersson, almost but not quite made it to the legendary york coven courtesy of the her- loveliness-can-barely-be-guessed-at miss gina, SAW THE BAND LIVE! :), spent approximately half my country's gdp on merchandising etc. and generally had a lovely time. reassured of the physical existence (give or take an cartesian evil demon or two) of the lovely list-phantasms, i took to hanging out quite a bit on the website when i had the chance, on which circumstance the regrettable existence of the following most- lamentable ode should be squarely blamed. (oh well, it occupied an entire otherwise boring train-journey). so, without much further ado, i would like to pose the following question: may i? (with apologies to almost everyone i can think of) homesick for a punny post from chu (OR a funny post from Llew OR a bunny post from you - mix to taste!) i am tired of listening in i am waiting for a sign. may i open up my world to you? i don't mind the site of you kept me company till i joined again you are the ones who've made it through i am the one who's come to you 'cause i saw you on the internet 'cause i saw you as the people with the bridges to my heart... honey was the start of something big (s)he was there at the beginning (s)he was there to sign us up may i join back up now i am here please lend my your ears keep me company now i've joined again i'll keep trying to make do you'll be the ones who's privy to 'cause i'll share with you the celebrations you'll feel like you're inside i know i've been away but i still love you anyway (solo sex) (er.. hmm, yes, okay) homesick, i came back to you myself for a while i put you on the shelf i am incapable of staying the fool wondering, so what's different today which boys and girls have stayed (strayed?) you were concerned with matters lofty the hard kids always made you sick your archive's looking like the bible with its verses often twee often scheming of the picnics that are bound to - who knows? - take place on a sunny day you know it'll be that way. may i open up again to you? and read the things you do keep me company till we meet (again) may i pour my words into your ear pretend that far was near keep me company till we meet (again) till we meet (again) la-la-la-la-la etc. THE (merciful) END well, if you survived that, you'll get through most things in life! that's about it for now. it's so nice to be back, and i can't wait to get to know all the people who joined since i was here last. on the topic of which, am i still right in thinking that i'm the only south african here? i hope not! oh well, such is life... lots of love JohaN ps. i am proud to say that through my persistent missionary efforts, no less thatn 2 people that i met in europe, and who hadn't heard of the band before, have since bought tbwtas! yay - soon we will rule the world! pps. also there, i finally discovered - and fell in love with - the gentle waves. does everyone (anyone) else here also think that it's better than any of isobel's stuff with b&s? i do, and i think "falling from grace" is just about the most perfect popsong i've ever heard. which doesn't mean i'm not sad she's left b&s, but if it means the waves doing more stuff, then yippee! ppps. i also finally read nalda said - in dutch translation! - and it was so sad and beautiful and it had foxes in it! well, sort of almost a fox. still. more love to mr. david. pppps. if only i was witty, this would start to resemble a chu-post! don't worry, this was the last one! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: the Loneliness of a part-time Taxi Controller
by patrick doyle 06 Aug '02

06 Aug '02

Hello hello, I'm sure given the time I could think of a hundred more boring jobs than mine, but for now, tis pretty dull job to be in, in a complete five hour shift on Sunday morning - I received only two phone calls (one of which was a drunken bloke wandering if we'd 'found his dog') therefore leaving me to sit through five sodding hours of vernon kay on t4 one day I'll remember to tune in the other channels on our crappy wee telly... I used to take videos to work, but they always got broken/stolen - one of the two, and after one of the drivers giving the Smiths a vicious verbal bashing, Ive stopped taking in CDs too. I've been there for four years now...and you have to ask yourself - is it really worth it for £1.66 an hour? sorry for this short and pretty pointless post...I'll think of something interesting to say one day Patrick 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.
