Sinister: inky stinky
by stacey dahling 03 Feb '03

03 Feb '03

Friday, 31 Jan. 2003 Oh dear. That would be me, there, in the center of the dance floor, shaking my ass to any one of the fantastic pop hits John played Friday night at national pop league; I think it's Emma's House by the Field Mice. My mouth is slightly open cause I've been caught singing along, an awful habit. That boy next to me, that's Matt. Mr lokar. Or whatever he's known as around these parts. Gubke? He's obliging me here; that steady gaze is not his usual dance face. Were the song, say, Spanish Bombs, he'd be in a blurred frenzy, incapable of being captured on still film. The girl behind me? I'm not sure exactly. But she's there every week, and always well dressed. I think her dainty red locks are quintessentially Scottish, don't you? And she's always so fashionable. Look at that dress, with its tiny white polka dots. I've simply shown up wearing all black, with the collar of my green button-down shirt poking through. Oh, yes. I suppose that would be Stuart over there. He's a funny dancer, isn't he? He usually only graces us with his moves for a few select obscure old indie hits, but tonight he's got his dancing shoes on, apparently. His partner in crime is John from Camera Obscura, who is without his characteristic old man's patterned polyester shirt this evening, opting for a tight white tee instead. It glows purple in the funny lights of the Woodside Social Club. Can you see the beads of sweat on our forehead? It's hot. * I nearly forgot about ink polaroid day, which would have been a shame because it's been ages since I've posted here, and I thought it'd be a fine excuse to do so. Thank heavens for Ms. Lucy's lovely polaroids. Mmm hmm. Would it be awful to steal her idea and post more than one? * Saturday, 1 Feb. 2003 Can you believe how many people they've managed to squeeze into one tiny functions room above the old fasioned Manchester pub? It's hard to tell from this distance, but yes, those walls are painted murals of old-fashioned hunting scenes. That's me sitting on the red pleather bench against the wall, leaning on the table with the emerald green foil covering. The empty pint glasses in front of me are not mine, I assure you, for I am too exhausted from our 5-hour bus journey to drink. Perhaps that is why I'm leaning against Richard's shoulder. He's the adorable boy with the blong Beck hair whose face is turned towards the stage to watch his favorite band ever, the Mountain Goats. Can you see the sparkle in his blue eyes? Doesn't he look happy? Sitting next to him is Stoo! Of the Sinister Congregation, Sheffield branch. And next to him is his lovely girlfriend Katie. We ran into them downstairs, completely unexpected. Stoo was my very first sinister friend, and I hadn't seen him since Nov. 2001, when he abducted me from a Lucksmiths gig in Leeds for a few days respite in Sheffield. Ew. See that guy partially blocking the bottom left side of the shot? Well, you can kind of make out his yellow pigtailed hair. He was also wearing pale blue jeans with big holes ripped in them; pity you can't see that. The thing about this boy was that he didn't seem to have a whispering voice. NO. Thus ruining the otherwise perfect gig for all. Nah. But enough to annoy me to no end. John, the lead singer, is the one sitting in front of that cascade of foil behind the tiny stage. He's American, and talks about fucking posers and the Tampa Bay Bucks and other things that make the English giggle. He's losing his voice. But can still sing an amazing love ballad called International Small Arms Traffic Dealer, or something similar. Oh yeah. The woman sitting in front of me with the blonde hair and the pale blue top with weird tassles at the sleeves - she recognized me and Richard the next night, at another gig. She's from Florida but has an English accent when she wants. She seems to be dating the most square guy in the room, wearing khakies and guzzling down pints as if he's been thirsty for a month. Actually, he's only had three beers since New Years. They make him snore. * I just got off the phone with an old lady from Motherwell. It appears I'm taking the train down there tomorrow to interview her for an article I've been working on in a panicked frenzy all afternoon. She goes bloodletting every week. Should be fun. It's been ages since I've felt like this - slight nausea, shaking, hands freezing. All the signs that I'm working on a big story. The fear, the excitement, the adrenaline. I'd forgotten. Is this what keeps Peter Arnett going? John Simpson? Mmmm. Did we all know the band are going into the studios next month to record an album to be released in the fall? That they're going to Spain in May? That Camera Obscura are playing here on Valentine's Day and I'm so excited I'm going to burst? That Stuart's girlfriend is not as scary as she seems, even going so far as to smile at me the other day? That I thought of Honey, and all of you, while stuck on the last bus out of town last night, with a boy dozing at my side, and a bus driver whistling 'Everything I do, I do it for you'? It's true. -stacey _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

Sinister: ink polaroid jenny
by Kenneth P Y Chu 03 Feb '03

03 Feb '03

This is a ink polaroid that I'm particularly fond of that I take out once a while. ====================== It is the inside of a Chinese restaurant in London, some very nice looking food were in the middle of the table, not as good looking as the girl who was in the process of writing her folks. She needed a bit of help with her chinese so she had a boy to help her, but then to call him helpful would have been flattering. They eventually had to enlist the help from an expert to complete the letter - that's the waiter with a mostache you can see in the photo there. ====================== Anyway that was taken a little short of two years back now and the camerawork wasn't very good because that was the level of his skillz back then, he didn't get much exposure in there. A much better one was taken just yesterday.. ====================== The camera was positioned rather good on this one, just behind a wonky wooden table overlooking a street in Lan Kwai Fong going down and then back up a slope. Along the street are lots of people, whose trendinesses appear inversely proportional to their proximity to the camera. A couple of pints of becks can be seen on the table both slightly spilt due to the table's wonkiness. The back of the polaroid read 'Hong Kong Sinister Meetup Jan 2003'. ====================== In which a great time was had by all attended (I hope!), with discussions going from Madchester to the Lamma Massiv to Belle and Sebastian to graffitis in french. And hopefully now an extra meetup will take place this Thursday that promises a 50% increase of turn-out figure! Hong Kong sinisters beware!

Sinister: my ink polaroid
by ianwatsonuk＠btinternet.com 03 Feb '03

03 Feb '03

Great. I couldn't post until someone did, as I'm not on my computer. Here's my ink polaroid. We're sitting in my friend Angus' front room in his flat on Tulse Hill, our new home for the next three months while our house is being put back together again. There's a program about designer vaginas on TV that I'm doing my best to hide from. I hate surgery on telly and it's only a matter of time, apparently. Angus is miles away in Enfield at his girlfriend's. He'll be there for quite some time. Months probably. I'm in the armchair, Adrienne is on the sofa. And Daz, Angus' flatmate, is sitting on the stairs, talking about his life and "my now ex", almost in a comic monologue. Adrienne has a moment of deja vu, which prompts Daz to tell us about the dream he had when he was young about falling out of a tree. He must have been eight or so. Four days later, he fell out of a tree. We're all laughing. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: ink polaroid and stuff
by Feather Boa 03 Feb '03

03 Feb '03

hello all, <ink polaroid>this is an ink polaroid which was taken on friday night. in it you can see myself and ms gina t (also of this parish). we're standing on a very small stage with a pair of makeshift decks in front of us. we're about to put on a cd which comes in a yellow cover because a very drunk boy has just asked us to play his favourite song. we're wondering if we should because we only just played 'the boy with the arab strap' and two b&s songs in ten minutes might be too many for most people. it's the end of the night and a lot of people have already gone home, so we're going to decide to play 'there's too much love' after all.</ink polaroid> and now to complete my 15 minutes... the mighty ladybird ladbird featuring several sinisterines (including myself) has got through to the semi-finals of battle of the bands at york uni. we're all very excited, if slightly nervous, especially because our drummer missed the last practice because he was interviewing the delgados in leeds and he's only played one of the songs we're doing once. but i'm slightly hoping that we don't get through because i'm not sure if we have enough songs to get to the final. although i would like to resurrect our cover of llpj, even though i can never get the high notes that monica queen can. mark hester wrote about ice skating. i haven't done that in ages, but at my oh-so-posh prep school we had ice skating lessons at queen's ice in queensway (it's called something else now like leisure box, that sounds a bit dirty to me), i got my grade two. but i was never very good at it. some of the girls could do pirouettes on ice (!) and everything. now i have to go and have a shower because i've been writing an essay since five o'clock this morning, and i feel all cruddy and skanky. dalai lama (check) cliff richard (check) pip pip, FB X **************************************************************** http://featherboa.blogspot.com - bandwagonesque http://groups.yahoo.com/group/yorksini - big up to the york sinister massive. innit _________________________________________________________________ It's fast, it's easy and it's free.

Sinister: ink polaroids
by R.Playforth＠sussex.ac.uk 03 Feb '03

03 Feb '03

***** This one's a bit blurry because of the high winds. Matt and I are in it, and our friends B and E. Matt and I are clutching each other and laughing because B apparently has his head inserted between E's breasts, though in fact he's just using the shelter of her coat to light his cigarette. She is wearing some fantastic mittens. B has a hat with ears. We're all on the top of a hill on the very muddy, claggy footpath to Lewes; in the background are the Downs and a few tiny farms dotted around. I have mud all over my shoes and up my legs, and my hair is blowing across my face in the wind. You can see a few birds outlined against the sky. ***** This is in the Lewes Arms. We all have pints of Harveys bitter in front of us, and we are all smiling and a bit red in the face. Behind us on the walls of the pub are old photos of Lewes Bonfire Night celebrations; mostly they're of stiff-backed moustached men in viking costumes. There is some ancient horse tack on the wall as well, and part of it seems to be made of Burberry tartan which is odd. ***** This one is later that night. It's my front room, with me and Matt in it. We are sitting on the floor eating our dinner off the coffee table, and we both have rapt expressions on our faces. On our plates is home-made spinach and potato curry. I am wearing my pyjamas. The red curtains are pulled closed, and we are lit by the reading lamp next to the rocking chair. You can see our winter cherry tree on the dining table behind us; the two orange fruits are a bit shrivelled now but still bright.

Sinister: Happy Ink Polaroid Day/ Some very sinister blogs
by Sunny set 03 Feb '03

03 Feb '03

An Ink Polaroid: I thought I would show you this picture even though it was taken on thursday and not over the weekend as it was one of those silly nothingness moments which seemed special because for a brief second everything and everyone around me was happy: Me and belle have just reached the top of this small slightly pathetic excuse for a hill. The hill is in the centre of the housing estate that we live on and if you squint very hard you can just see our house. There in the bottom left corner of the picture. The reason Belles tail is all out of focus because it is wagging so much. It is wagging because she had just spotted another dog over the other side of the hill chasing a stick. Stick chasing is a concept that belle hasnt quite grasped. Youll notice that she her head slightly on one side which is a sure sign that she is puzzled. The other dog, is standing by its stick, also with a puzzled look on its face and also with its tail all out of focus. Other dogs havent quite grasped the concept of Belle but think she is a bit strange but amusing nonetheless. The woman with the dog is smiling and laughing with surprise having just seen belle appear from nowhere kangarooing over the top of the hill. And because it seems lighter than it did at the same time the week before and because the clouds are looking just like candy floss, Im smiling too. Blogs and Websites: Dimitra (zoziepop(a)hotmail.com) has been collecting a list names of Belle and Sebastian loving people with blogs and websites. She has some and, for now, they can be found here: http://www.friendsoftheheroes.co.uk/today Eventually this list might be turned into a web-ring as Caitlin Pigtails has kindly volunteered to help us do just that. And Robin Stout pointed out: "Now, all the kids have got pocketbooks, well I guess it's the way it looks, their cosmopolitan diaries..." So perhaps this web ring could be called "Pocketbook angels" or "Cosmopolitan Diaries" If you have any ideas, suggestions or a website that you would like to be included email Dimitra or myself (off list of course). Hope you are all enjoying a lovely Ink Polaroid Day, Take Care Rachel ************* With the current crop of disposable jaw lines and manufactured inanity, it seems that we need our heroes now more than ever before. http://www.friendsoftheheroes.co.uk ***************** _________________________________________________________________ Worried what your kids see online?

Sinister: Fee Fi Fo Fum, look out baby here I come
by Lucy Alder 03 Feb '03

03 Feb '03

********** Here, look at this one. See my boots? They were new that day. Id never had a pair of fiendish-pointy, knee-high, stiletto boots before and I was all excited, so I had to wear them straight away. What I didnt realise was that between leaving my flat and returning from the pub, it was going to snow quite that much. Thats the reason Im hanging on to Ally for dear life. Very pathetic, but I didnt think I was going to make it from the car to the front step without assistance. If you look closely, you can see Rich in the drivers seat. I think hes smirking. ********** Dear Sinister, Its been a while. Ive been in Glasgow a year. Can you believe it? Im not sure I can. My grandparents are still asking how long I think Ill stay here for before returning to the fond embrace of the South East. They havent got the message yet. I have a proper job, one that I really like. Years of unhappy employment have taught me this is a rare thing, so Im making the most of it. My office has a big window across one side of it, looking north across the hills. The sun is shining on the snowy fields and its beautiful, like a Christmas card. Really. Weve had to turn the lights off because there was such a dazzle coming from outside. I run into Stacey in the refectory now and again. People are friendly. Somebody gave me a penguin this morning (a chocolate one). These Good Things and many more conspire to make life just peachy at the moment. ********** Heres another. Oh dear, our faces are a bit pink, arent they? Yes, we had been drinking. Thats Lara on the left. Shes Irish. In the middle you might recognise Kirsten from Wisconsin, and I'm the one on the left. Three furrin girls in the West Highlands for Hogmanay. The reason were applauding ourselves is that weve just done a fairly successful impression of the Temptations by spinning round unison. It took a bit of practice, but luckily the photographer didnt capture anyone falling over or bumping into things. That time we got it right. ********** Its the Winchester Club again this Friday. Can you come? Oh, go on, do! Sons & Daughters were meant to be playing, but had to pull out at the last minute, but they say theyll play for us soon, so were not cross. Besides, were having a DJ Spectacular instead! Five DJs with an hour each to make you move your dancing feet. Check out our website for more info. http://www.geocities.com/the_winchester_club See you soon (I hope) Juicy Lucy ps. I want the Chalets to play at the Winchester Club! ===== The one, the only Glasgow Indie List! http://www.groups.yahoo.com/group/glasgow-indie/ ************************************************** The Winchester Club http://www.geocities.com/the_winchester_club __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: confetti
by Gillian Kirby 03 Feb '03

03 Feb '03

last night at rehearsal (The Gondoliers, in case you're wondering) the stage was full of confetti. Of course, it was for a chinese new year's party, but it felt like they knew I was coming. While we were meant to be practising ballroom dancing and running to different corners of the stage in a random way that will only make sense in costume during show week, me and fellow ballroom bitch Yael started playing cat's cradle with string, tying each other up with coloured ribbon, and tying plastic flowers (with classy fake plastic dew) in our hair. It's this new haircut that's making me behave like a mischievious child. A strange incident at the hairdressers' last week led to me scissoring off my locks into a little fluffy bob with a fringe...as I haven't had a fringe since the age of two it was rather disconcerting and I felt like a lesbian PE teacher. But as one of my friends told me I'd morphed into a member of Ladytron, maybe i'm more of an indie-girl cliche. Well, it was the fringe or my kneesocks anyway (I've only just begun to be able to wear the things again after five years of the terrors of polyester blue knee-highs for my school uniform...) I'm off to eat sarnies now. If christophe from York is reading-where the sufferin' suckertash is my email? -gillian x ===== _________________________ "Rock and Roll! Let's have a pear!"

Sinister: I like it, not a lot, but I like it
by Lucy Brown 03 Feb '03

03 Feb '03

Hello Sinister! -Introduction- We've been snowed in today, so no school - yay! In English class we get told to balance our paragraphs in terms of length, thus I had to add this wee bit at the beginning to make it look better. I tried to post last week, but I think my email must have ended up in a Sinsinati newspaper's inbox instead. N.B. I don't usually post because I hate saying "I". There, I can start now. -Big fat stinking clichés- Last week at school we had a seminar on the theme of change. The very utterence of the word "seminar" had us all wretching in a kind of pre-emptive boredom-induced hysteria. Or something. Anyway, we had to sit there and listen to this man (he looked suspiciously like Paul Daniels - I was surprised that my friends didn't see the resemblance until I realised I had been saying "Look! Look! It's Phil Collins!" Never been good with names.) tell us how fate is a load of crap and that we should get off our arses and make things happen. We were made to write letters to ourselves. Apparently said letters will be posted to us in a few months' time to make us realise that we haven't "Become more optimistic!" and don't "Have a more positive outlook!" and therefore are worthless individuals. I was just upset because I wasn't the only person to have been wonderfully witty by writing "SWALK" on the front of my envelope. -Rock me, Amadeus- I've recently discovered the joy of mp3s and minidiscs and stuff. I'm listening to a wider range of music now, which is always a good thing - I can download stuff I wouldn't be seen dead buying ("Good sir, fetch me one "Steps: the Best Of" please!"*). However, I do not endorse illegal downloading, honest. So, watch out, kids.** -No war, please- I was in Dumfries on Saturday, and managed to walk through the middle of an anti-war protest without realising at first. I stood with them for a while, but there was only about fifteen people, and no-one was holding up their banners or saying anything. Actually, maybe they were just queuing for chips and a bit pissed off that people kept coming and offering support. -Content- I had a dream about Stuart M (honestly, I'm not making it up to make this seem appropriate) last week. He was on a regional news programme on channel 3 (if anyone gets "Border" tv, you know the kind of thing they show ("Your Wheelie Bin and You")) telling people to check their bonfires for hedgehogs before they set them alight. He's so sweet. -Mini ink polaroid- I'm sitting at the computer wearing a pink bobble hat and blue boots. I've made some cocoa. I'm writing a post when my friend phones to arrange a sledging time. We choose lunchtime. I get the atlas to see if Sinsinati is really a place, and if so how it's spelt. I'm still undecided. I try not to dwell on it. -Leslie Ash- That's what happens when you eat too many Jaffa Cakes and the orange goo gets stuck in yer teeth! -And finally- The sun's just come out. All the snow from our roof is falling onto the pot plants of the wifie that lives below us. I think I'll go and clear it later.*** I'm off to dig out my sledge. Keep warm (or cool; whichever is appropriate to your hemisphere) and be sweet, Lucy xxx *Disclaimer - it is a good five years since I was, in any way, involved with everyone's favourite Redcoats. **I heard someone say "watch out, kids" last week. It was quite creepy, actually. ***The old woman's actually kinda crazy, and almost killed some of our cats "by accident" ("Woopsee, didn't mean to leave that pot of boiling oil teetering above the cat flap like that!") on a few occasions. ======================================== "I've had a perfectly wonderful evening.

Sinister: V-Day Massacre
by Jay Eckard 03 Feb '03

03 Feb '03

Folks: I've sent out all the appropriate emails for the Valentine Day's Massacre emails to people. Let me know of any troubles, especially if you haven't already gotten an email from me.
