Sinister: RED K(e)NICKER DAY LOS ANG(chu)LES
by Rachel fruitloop 15 Aug '02

15 Aug '02

Hiya Sinister! Ben and I were talking about how we should try to have some sort of Red Knicker Day picnic here in the Los Angeles area. We have cooked up a loose plan surrounding the Los Angeles Galaxy soccer match at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena on Saturday, August 31st. We can meet there with our food items and our red knickers on, find a nice shady knoll to relax on and then get tickets to watch our local team and cheer them on in wannabe Brit football hooligan style. It really was a lot of fun when we did a picnic capped off with soccer last month, so if you live in the L.A. area and you're interested in joining us, please feel free to send me an email so we can firm up the plans. This also could be your last chance to meet the charming Ben Apps in person before he returns to London on September 15th, so don't miss out! Everyone is welcome! :) love, Rachel fruitloop __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: never a puss in boots again!
by Thomas Henderson 15 Aug '02

15 Aug '02

hey everybody! so that's it all over, ,no more shitty job in boots! i hate the frickin factory. it's made my life boring, and it's made me think about things too. working from 4:30 - 10:30 monday to thursay and 11pm - 3 am on friday and saturday and maybe wednesday or thursday too isn't fun. i've spent my summer wasting, just sitting around trying to beat manky marks record (wink) by the way check out casarotto's blog. so next week i'm starting studying at stow. electric honey a go-go, which reminds me that i want an original starfighter pilot single by polar bear (snow patrol) so if anyones gota spare.......... i'm starting an electric honey collection i think i have one already, and last years output of police chief seems like a sensible buy, but i haven't bought it yet. now for the fortnightly question (ie not weekly anymore) which band had to change their name temporarily as a result of the gulf war, they had to remove a part of their name and on record sleeve simply taped over the part of the name they had to remove? go on guess. on the subject of the quiz thing our winners will be recieving prizes soon (honest) look forward to next rounds of said quiz for the sam neil and tibet rounds coming up. ok so apparently is joint sinister/ michael grant birthday events soon. so ummmm pub anyone? pre-popleague-picnic/pubnic? it's your call michael. on the subject of name dropping, ,ken chus always doing it isn't he? and no matter how much he goes on neil robertson still hasn't said anything about treasure hunt clue answers. recently amykins thought i was the boy g, sorry for the confusion. i think idleberry phoned the boy g once in edinburgh, but i may have been mistaken because i was talking to pigtails, but all that was forgotten by a few months later in the tap in glasgow and then we don't even say anything about sweetie..... if anyone wants to help i've got a month to save up and buy a white capri with a black felt roof for gav partick. maybe ally or lucy will see him before i do and talk him out of his demands, i think sarahluv wants the capri too, that's why he's so insistant. red bulls and rip-offs thomas x. ps: why did i write some of that in the style of chu? ps2: is quite a good console but x-box is better aparently __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: oh, you know, the usual stuff...
by JohaN HUGO 15 Aug '02

15 Aug '02

hi again! so, i wasn't really going to post again, till i had done some experiments (quickly dashes out and purchases home-made wurlitzer from the whizz-kid down the block, assumes vincent price hairstyle and... no, wait, that's not a hairstyle, that's just a badly insulated plugpoint! damn cheap home-made stuff!), but lizz actually used (and i quote... that is to say, i cut and paste, because i'd NEVER get it right) "peripateticism", and surely one can't let that sort of thing go. boy, if we ever had a giant intergalactic sinister scrabble-evening (or have we? i forget...) well, i definitely wouldn't play, but i could bring some brackets, i seem to have a lot lying around. (it's just my latent parentheticism, i think) MY SECRET SHAME (pty ltd &c) ALSO, robin mentioned SPIDERS! now, could i tell you about spiders! no, seriously spiders THIS big, or actually, counting the legs (well, there'd be 8 wouldn't there? har-har) they'd be about THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS big. and very very hairy (scary!). well, i'm not ashamed of the spiders exactly (like crabs, they happen to the best of us. er... uhm they do right?), but finding this one on the front-door yesterday, i'm afraid i made rather a mess of things... it, to be exact. i know i know, NORMALLY i'd grab the nearest tupperware container and humanely remove it, but when it just conveniently crawls into the of the hinge while fetching said container, a swift slam of the door becomes mighty tempting (did i mention the size of this mo...edipus?)... well, i'm not proud of what i did, and was in fact brooding on it a little driving to work 10 minutes later, WHEN ANOTHER ONE STARTED CRAWLING OVER MY WINDSCREEN, ON THE INSIDE, ABOUT 20cm AWAY FROM MY HEAD! i tell you, thank goodness for red traffic-lights or the pile-up would have been something. i'm not really one for trashy horror of the "revenge of the arachnids"-type, or classy adaptations of the classics like "beowulf for baboon-spiders", but you know when you've got a bit of a guilty conscience... well, from my new-found position in the passenger-seat i tried to shoo it out the open window, only to have it drop on the driver's seat! just as everyone behind me's starting to hoot and everything to get my stalled car moving. the rest of the drive to work, with a now vanished but presumably pissed-off spider THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS size in my car was NOT FUNNY! anyway, so no-one eensy-weensy spider me for a while please! on a more CONTENTS-related tangent: (and all the boys and girls say YAAAAYYYY!) i'm sure this has been discussed at length here before, but still. how does everyone feel about the tracklistings on the albums? i mean the sequence of the songs. i've thought about it before, and the storytelling review reminded me again. for example, it took me a while to realize why IYFS seemed a better album to me than TBWTAS when the latter actually has more of my favourite songs on it. so i started playing around with it a little, and i found that, eg. it worked for a lot better if you went straight from "sleep the clock around" into "ease your feet off", then i found that i really liked "is it wicked not to care?" more than i had thought, also that i liked symour stein a lot more when a summer wasting hasn't made me impatient for dirty dream #2, same with chick factor and simple things and so on. or, on IYFS, that "stars of track & field" doesn't really work for me as an album opener, that "iyfs" itself works better somewhere else &c. and basically, although storytelling hasn't got so many great songs on than some of the others, basically it always seems a much more coherent album to me than anything since perhaps tigermilk, simply because of the way it's composed. (of course, the dialogue bits help with that too). anyway, i could carry on with this for a while, and like i said, i would have liked to experiment a little more before sending this, but i was just wondering what thoughts other people had on this? one day i would also like to write something on how i think it's strange that b&s have so many great album-closers, but so few really good openers, but i'll save that for some content in another post (consider this fair warning!) well, sorry if this is long and boring. have fun everybody! love JohaN +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: five candles
by R.Playforth＠sussex.ac.uk 15 Aug '02

15 Aug '02

Well, we had a very civilised picnic on Saturday (although the subject of Mark C's cock did keep rearing its ugly head. As it were.) I also managed to drag my hungover corse out on Sunday night for a quick catch-up with the glorious sons (and daughters) of York, which was all good and gossipy. I'm a bit late for proper Reporting Back though, so I'll get straight on to the ephemera instead. We're nearly five! I'm not quite ready for my pensive birthday post yet, so I thought we could check out some of the people with whom we share our birthday instead: Mother Teresa (yes! it's true!) Man Ray Theodore Dreiser Lyndon B Johnson Confucius (explains a lot) and Peewee Herman (explains even more) I can hardly wait to break out my red knickers from their special velvet storage box and hotfoot it up to Primrose Hill next Sunday for a 5TH BIRTHDAY PICNIC, or a mi-decennie as the French might say (but unfortunately don't). Bugger, I have run out of things to say. This is what comes of whoring your opinions round the internet - you can't even rustle up a substantial chunk of wit and charm for the ones who started it all off in the first place, my first love, my secret vice, my imaginary friend, my teacher, my crush... oops, the pensive version nearly broke in there. Where was I? Oh yes. Luv Archel xxx PS. Linda pointed out the presence of 'fox in the snow' in Woolf's Orlando, of course, but did she notice that the book also contains the phrase 'extremely smutty'? COINCIDENCE? I don't think so. PPS. Welcome Carl! I believe there is some shady sinisterine called Ian resident in Brum, but you don't want to get involved with his particular brand of sin and depravity, trust me. He kept a NUN in his CLOSET you know. ****************** Visit www.buzzwords.ndo.co.uk for the best new writing on the web.

Sinister: You missed a bit...
by stout robin 15 Aug '02

15 Aug '02

Hello Sinisterines! rockin' Rrrobyn said: <<i saw mum last night>> I saw mum last week. And dad, too. They're alright, you know. Dad's been doing a bit of wallpapering, and mum's runner beans are looking fantastic... Seriously, I think múm are okay, but I'm a bit annoyed that I went off and bought the album after hearing their last single on the radio. It's a case of the single being better than the whole of the rest of the album, I think, and I should have payed more attention to the girl in the record shop who told me exactly the same when I bought it. It's not bad, just a bit wallpapery. And as we know, wallpaper is for dads. ++ In the birthday spirit, I've been looking at a few ink polaroids. Here's the oldest one I could find: Here's Ailsa and Kevan and Arantxa and me, in chalet number 650. Everyone's looking a little suprised and confused because they've never met before. Well, in Ailsa's case the expression's more drunk and confused, and she's holding a glass of what I think was called String Bean Gin. There are other people here too, on the sofabed in the background, but they've been a bit smudged by beer drops or tear drops, I don't know which. A lot happened that night before the polaroid had a chance to dry. ++ Lucy and Mark were talking about SPIDERS! Well, my job involves looking at patent applications and occasionally someone comes across one thats funny and emails it to everyone. The other day a girl who works in the baths, showers and toilets department found a mini ladder with a suction pad which sticks to the inside of a bath so that spiders can climb out in safety. Aww! Its so sweet! Heres an artist's impression of the spider ladder at work in a dramatic spider rescue! 1. |_| |_| <=ladder | | * <=scared spider (O) <=plughole 2. |_| |*| <=spider in dramatic rescue action |¯| <=ladder (O) <=plughole 3. * <=happy spider! |_| |_| <=ladder | | (O) <=plughole hooray! ++ Do you ever think of funny things to say just when its too late? This is what happened to me today, when I met Paul outside the tea room; P: Do you know what I think that stain on the floor is? Me: Tea? P: No Me: Erm...(I hate it when people make you guess stuff when they know you wont be able to.) Err... Tea? P: Rat urine! Me: Eh? P: Yeah, we had rats in our house once and it looked just like that. Me: But how do they possibly get up here, when were on the second floor? I mean they cant catch the lift, can they? They wont be able to reach the buttons. P: (enigmatically) Maybe they know someone on the inside! Paul goes off to make a cup of tea and Im left standing in the corridor. Me: Yeah, maybe they have FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES! HA HA HA! Oh! Hes gone! Hello boss! Er, yes, funny things these... these, erm... bye then! Grrr!!! Do you see? FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES! Ha ha!

Sinister: on a Haydn to nothing
by Liz Daplyn 15 Aug '02

15 Aug '02

Oh heck, what did I want to say? It'll come back, probably just after my credit's run out. Anyway, the following came to mind when, after purchasing my very own copy of Laura Cantrell's beautiful beautiful album 'Not the Tremblin' Kind' (ooh! Country Nouvelle!) for a criminal #3.99 in the nasty little Impulse shop at Luton airport, I was listening to it on a poxy EasyJet flight (my own row of seats at the back) to Paris a couple of weeks ago, gasping at the lurid orange glow reflected in the windows off the 'plane's cutprice wings and eyes watering from the recycled air. I think it's kind of relevant given the degree of peripateticism indulged in by spinisters. Shifty folk given to continent-hopping we certainly are. I think air travel encourages emotional openness. Maybe it's simply the stress of airports etc coupled with tiredness and uncomfortable surroundings (explaining the cushioned smugness of Business Classers),but possibly the act of rising at inhuman velocities through changing atmospheric pressures and conditions results in a slightly altered chemical balance in the body. Clouds seen from above are quite as trite as when planted firmly on solid ground, even or particularly when bathed in smoggy sunset, but there is an ineffable difference in the experience. It broadens the mind, they say.

Sinister: Saw the Datsuns, Pattern and Kaito on Tuesday
by helen theaker 15 Aug '02

15 Aug '02

Hey there I saw some bands on Tuesday, thought I'd tell you all about them. They were all very good, but all different, a really good combination of bands. The first was Kaito, who I've never heard before but were really good, kind of Punk/indie, sounded a bit like Bow wow wow. I thought they must have been a New York band (because of the style) but I spoke to the lead singer afterwards and I think she was English. The Datsuns were next, they've been in NME quite a lot recently. They were really energetic and loud and they rocked. The lead singer was a bit tasty too :). I liked their bass lines, always an important factor in a good song for me. Finally there was the Pattern, who were pretty good but they were really pissed so they were a bit all over the place. The drummer was excellent. The lead singer kept sucking his thumb and reminded me a bit of Craig Nicholls. The rapport on stage within the band was really good as well which made it loads of fun to watch. Has anyone else seen any of these? Particularly Kaito, who were my favourite band of the night.

Sinister: all my days inactive will be justified
by rrrrobyn 14 Aug '02

14 Aug '02

sinista! horrah! ohmygod, i'm: back to happy: well, medium perhaps. i'm not bouncing off the walls or anything. not all the time. and i sense my wit returning. things are moving along with the big move (which would make sense). i even had a yard sale and made some money (people buy the weirdest crap. like, people really wanted old issues of national geographic and paid real money for them. i blanche at what their houses must be filled with. but then, my apartment was once filled with such crap too. yet why nobody bought the 1986-version nancy drew box-set is beyond me.) anyway, i also got a bit of a tan, which 'the media' says is 'unhealthy', but damn, it *looks* healthy. i need more summer time. i saw mum last night: the band, that is. and they were great! and so cute! and so many cute instruments. the accordian being my absolute favourite, it just exudes emotion the accordian, esp in the hands of of the mum girls. also, the use of pop rocks candy as musical instrument was fantastic. indulge my self-indulgence: there's a woman from down the hall here at work who often comes into my office to use the kitchen. or something. i don't know, i don't work with her, maybe she just wants to talk. which she does. so the other day she said that i looked nice and then asked if i was "up to my neck in alligators." i had never heard this expression before and assumed it to be work-related. so i said, "yes, i'm always busy." and she said (genuinely), "yeah, i bet all the guys are hanging off you" and smiled and was on her way back down the hall. and i was, like, *what?* what a weird thing to say. maybe i was just having a hott day (pfft, yeah...). really though: alligators? this would be worrisome, but b/c it's the woman down the hall who said it, it's mostly just funny. hahahaha. i love blackcurrant tea: yes, so last week was all me drinking far too much tea while being #sinister and happy with the morning sun streaming into my apartment and then realizing later that i had pretty much missed the mid-morning sun, mid-day sun and early afternoon sun due to my 'holiday-mode' frame of mind. why is there this need to be outside during holiday? b/c outside is good. b/c if you go outside you feel like you've had more of a summer. hence my want for more summer time. all very logical. fuck grammar, 2nd edition, 3rd reprint: summer is *not* a time for editing. i need to be working outside (see paragraph above). this week's edition of the onion: brilliant. however, the yoda story is, franky, scary. sinister 'dialogue': c'mon, you know i love ya even if i don't quote ya, baby. :) i absorb it all though; it contributes to the me that i am and will be, etc. i have, however, made a few trips into the ever-hilarious and informative archives recently. among the data gathered: 'gouda' has been mentioned *nine* times, coming close to 'brie', which has about 19 mentions, while 'cheese' itself comes in with a whopping 140 mentions. yours in the Pursuit of Information, robyn ===== 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!?
