Sinister: Songs, words, and so forth
by idleberry 04 Mar '03

04 Mar '03

I'm a very sad (as in pathetic) girl. I wrote a wee ditty, ripping off the great B&S, by replacing a few words of their Storytelling song. Anyway, I read it, and I decided better of it to post it myself. But heres the jist: replace the word "characters" with "citizens"/ "country"/ "cabinet" "plot" becomes policy, as does "stories" replace "storyteller" with "politician" replace "tale" with "term". **A giant tumbleweed, called Bert, who has three small tumbleweed children and a wife called Lizzy who ran off with a shrub a year ago, decides to roll across the middle of the sinister mailing list, as an akward silence descends upon the good folk of sinister while they stare blankly at the author of poor quality postings** ANYWAY. I'm pleased to note that I'm no longer feeling like a lemon (in the figurative sense) in the Pocketbook Angels webring, and have been joined by more fruity and zesty interwebbers looking to link the United Blogs of Sinister (hey!) with the webring. The ring was set up with sinister bloggers in mind, I guess it was a lazy way to have a list of sinister blogs to read without having to add them to my bookmark list. Who knows, it might expand one day to be less exclusive and more inclusive of other B&S fans. But for the time being, its been set up really rather quickly (the idea has been floating around for a while though, but the actions were done in haste) and I guess I just wanted to see what would happen. I'm sure there might be a few mumblings about it being exclusive and whatever else have you, and that therefore being a bad thing, and so on and so forth. But its early days (less than a week, I reckon) and its just nice to get it established. If you've not joined, and would like to do so, its called Pocketbook Angels, and can be found at http://www.geocities.com/retrosec Ken Chu's colander has already signed up (amongst others) so nows the time to cyber rub shoulders with Ken himself. Or at least, his essential utensil. Yes, thats my selling point, and I think its a darn good one, albeit vaguely smutty. I tell you, I'd be no good at setting up my own company. I'd probably set it up and then six months later try and work out what it was going to do, having spent all the enterprawner bank loan on goodies from a stationery catalogue and whirly chairs. Mmm.. stationery. About a year ago, I wrote a series of posts to sinister, about being heartbroken. I was amazed at the time by the responses to my post. Well, I got back together with the heartbreaker in question, who will no doubt speak to me when he reads this and say, with a slight quizzical tone, "'heartbreaker'???". We got back together on Christmas eve. Some people say they saw it coming, although my mum was shocked. I was too, actually, and it was I who asked "shall we get back together?". I was shocked that my mouth could say such a thing, although I am regularly shocked by the things that I say. When I mentioned the phrase "boyfriend" at work, there were a few sly smiles and raised eyebrows and "oh yes...?" questions, to which I explained it was a recycled boyfriend. I'm not good at handling gushy, and felt slightly embarrassed, in the "I'm 14 and telling my mum I have a boyfriend" way. I'm not 14, I'm 24, if you were in any doubt. Now, I must go. love idleberry x x x ===== http://groups.yahoo.com/group/corduroysmoke/ starting playground gossip and passing notes __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Sinister: ..i'm still finding the crumbs..
by robin stout 04 Mar '03

04 Mar '03

It's Pancake Day!! Hurrah!! I've just eaten FOUR pancakes!!!! I had noodles with pancakes, cheese with pancakes, lemon with pancakes and honey with pancakes. Mmmmm! 'Scuse me a moment while I calm down.. I appear to have gone pancake crazy.. Ever a supporter of the provincial railways I tootled off to Brighton for the weekend, where, among other things, I; listened to the gentle music of Ken's sperms; discussed the merits of fisting with Cassarotto; didn't win a Thunderbird on the grabbing machine in the arcade; was a little disappointed that the pier wasn't burnt down very much then felt guilty for thinking it; overheard a girl on the bus who's friend had snogged someone who looked like they'd "been hit in the face with a saucepan"; had constant dilemmas over whether I should call Archel "Rachel", or call Rachel "Archel", usually settling for "Oi, you with the biscuits"; ATE A PANCAKE; avoided the PORK AND CHIPS like they were scurvy; sang like Johnny Cash; avoided mentioning the WAR (shh!); listened to the melodious Pipes of Brennan; nibbled some biscuits, wore a cardigan and was, all in all, a bit freaky. Oh and lots more. I think the only thing that could top a Brighton picnic would be a Kidderminster-twinned-with-a-concentration-camp picnic. Imagine the sensation: For lo! The good people of Kidderminster did witness a cheese sandwich and they did marvel at its wonder! I also said, more than once I think, something like: "It's good to see people posting lots of good stuff to sinister these days." What i didn't say was "with people like Lucy, the Pinefox, Anscombe and Llew about it makes me look a bit crap." I thought it once or twice, but instead I said "pass the biscuits, you over there", or "put it away, Mark, not at the table" or some such. I'm glad B+S are being produced by the chap who did Tatu. I like Tatu because they are LESBIANS and they SNOG EACH OTHER. bye robin x _________________________________________________________________ Stay in touch with MSN Messenger http://messenger.msn.co.uk +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Do you want to go with me? That's what we call it here, going together...
by Today I am in the mood for spanish language radio 04 Mar '03

04 Mar '03

I'm a bit scared that I don't believe in love. I haven't been given a shred of proof that it truly exists, that it's not a lie we tell ourselves. I wasted a year and a half on a robot, shared everything with someone who was just going through the motions. There's this guy, see? Only I don't know if he's there, you know, like that. Twice it's been a lovely night, stars out and shit like that, and in the end it's just a friendly hug. Might as well have been a handshake. And he hasn't stopped me from obsessing over boys I have dubbed something ridiculous. There's Angry Eyes, Photo Major, Richie Tennenbaum, Two Shirts...the list goes on. So can I love? I love little things. I try to put more love into the world. Not luv mind you. I can't stand luv. Luv ya doll. Just makes me want to shudder. Last year I had the smile project. Smile at random strangers, I mean REALLY smile. The results were somewhat mixed. But there were the few who really responded, and that made it worth it. So now we're taking the smile project a step up. Telling people you like something about them. The other night it was just saying "I like your hat," but it made the guy so happy that I was inspired to turn it into another full fledged project. I'll let you know how it goes. In other news I have bought some tube socks and I very well may love them. The topic of this post is love, for those not following. I do love sinister. At least I think I do. I think uncertainty means it's true love. Kara www2.bc.edu/~brielman _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

Sinister: You cant fool me, there aint no sanity clause!
by Matt Campbell 03 Mar '03

03 Mar '03

Good evening everyone or good morning/afternoon depending where you are. This is my very first mail since Honey let me off the leash. It feels a wee bit like my first day at school. I'm in a new place with lots of people who have more of a clue than I do. Only this time I don't get to look forward to my mum picking me up at the end of the day. Anyway, my in securities aside I would like to say a huge thank you to anyone who has mentioned either the go-betweens or camera obscura in the last few weeks. In the case of the go-betweens, I finally decided to listen to the rave reviews and actually buy one of their albums. While my love of the band already stands on the edge of obsession I also felt a certain amount of guilt that it took me nigh on twenty one years of my life to find them. Camera Obscura on the other hand is a different story. It was almost impossible to get your hands on it up here in sunny Aberdeen. I have a friend of a friend to thank for that one. I'm going to stop there cause I can already hear the dulcet tones of the residents of Albert Square on the TV and I need my daily fix. Matt. x P.S. I'm going to stick my neck on the line and say the best B&S song by a country mile is La Pastie de la Bourgoisie P.P.S. I realise I've probably ruined my point by spelling the title wrong but I simply can't be arsed raking through my CD's to find out. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: you're a WINNER!!!!!
by hannah brown 03 Mar '03

03 Mar '03

Yo'ness, That's a rubbish way of saying hello. I just wanted to agree with Mr Henderson's post, sometimes i sit at home watching ground force and laughing at Charlie's Dimmock's ( or Dimmock's Charlie's, it works both ways) and think "hmmm, maybe i am waisting my life on this sofa". Then i try and learn some Nick Drake and get a sore hand. I can play "things behind the Sun" now, but it's a bit rehearsed if you know what i mean. Archel mentioned that there was some Haribo at the picnic which is weird coz there is always some Haribo knocking about the sinister world. I may have mentioned this before but they should have a special B&S packet. It would be fab, they could have some guitars, some little cars with the foamy stuff on it, some yappy dogs and all of the bands faces. They could also make a B&S fuzzy felt set so you could arrange all your favourite members in you desired positions, then carefully place it on your wall or something, yeh man, rock on with the fuzzy felt!!!! woohoo, My flatmates bought a piano on saturday, i came home from work and there it was, all shiny and piano like. They had a bit of trouble getting home though because there was a homeless guy on their bus who smelt strongly of poo and when he stood up it all ran down his legs and into his bag of carefully selected fine ciders. They chose to tell me this whist i was scoffing on a lovely big plate of spiced cous-cous, YUM. The point i was going to make is that my flat mate is amazing at piano and all i can play is "everything in it's right place" by radiohead, which gets a bit boring. Well, i can read music so if anyone has any cool (and relitively simple) piano music then can you send it to me????? I am going to try and work out "Johnathon David" but if someone has done it already it would save me the bother. um that's it really, er i can't go WOOOOOOOO I"ve GOT A GLASGOW TICKET coz i haven't and i'm not going to coz it's too far and besides, i might miss Eastenders. love hannah b _________________________________________________________________ Surf together with new Shared Browsing http://join.msn.com/?page=features/browse&pgmarket=en-gb&XAPID=74&DI=1059 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: My head explodes once a week. That's pretty intense, don't you th ink?
by therapy.services＠uclh.org 03 Mar '03

03 Mar '03

Like a Flan obsessed with an Adam, I keep seeing Stuart Murdoch everywhere. I thought I saw him recently on the advertisement for ITV's Secret Weddings. The premise? Propose to your boyfriend, be separated instantly for three days, show up in the studio in a frock and hope that he turns up to be wed in a 30-second ceremony. Now, to me, this sounded like the GREATEST television show in the world because, presumably, some of the brutes would be saying no. But the suckahs said yes. Fools. Still, it was trash, and I'm into that. Oh, and sadly it wasn't Stuart (note to self, contacts are gooood). Although I would have been amused if his girly had donned a dress and with a rogueish grin said, "would you?" And as the crowd held their breath, he strapped on his guitar and started singing "I don't love anyone." Or maybe, just maybe, Paula Abdul's "Will you Marry Me." Although, wait. That's my crazy wooing technique. I also saw Stuart Murdoch on the 55 bus outta Hackney the other day. He was on the top deck going into the city, I was on the top deck going out of the city. We crossed paths, our eyes met, he smiled and waved and then I realised it was my flatmate wearing a scarf and hat. He DID look like Struan though. El Bizarro. In other news, there's a B+S mix floating about the airwaves - the music of "The Boy with the Arab Strap" combined with the lyrics of The Streets "Don't Mug Yourself". It's insane. And insanity RULES. Which leads me onto for those of you who pay attention, you might remember me bemoaning the fact that there were no songs named after me and how my nemesis - my sister - used to torture me with the number of tunes written about Caroline. Of course, with a memory like a platypus that has lost it's memory, she has very little recognition of these events ever having taken place. Which is why I literally fell off my chair when I met her for lunch in Londontown the other week and she pulled out of her bag a packet of biscuits. An odd reaction you might think, but you should know this: Normally her gifts are amazingly frugal - a mini packet of travel tissues and some maltesers for Christmas, detergent and bran flakes for birthdays - but look! Those biscuits are MARIANNA BISCUITS! Spelt correctly as well. And not only that, BUT EACH AND EVERY SINGLE BISCUIT OF ARROWROOTY GOODNESS HAD MARIANNA IMPRINTED ON IT! These are the coolest biscuits in the world. I was in Brighton on the weekend. We pubnicked. It was rad.

Sinister: a la plage
by R.Playforth＠sussex.ac.uk 03 Mar '03

03 Mar '03

So, Saturday was I suppose the first official picnic of the Sinister year, although I'm not sure we can really lay claim to the title as there was no al fresco boozing, no Pringles and no football. But somehow pubs, chips and slot machines seemed more appropriate given the pouring rain and the fact that it was dark by 5pm. In attendance: muggins, Mark C, Marianna M, Ken C, Liz D, Rob B, Robin S and Lucy E. The latter proved her teacher credentials admirably by testing our spelling and setting us tough challenges such as 'Margaret Thatcher, Ann Widdicombe, Edwina Currie: marry one, shag one, push one off a cliff. CHOOSE.' It was literally hours of fun. Some of the other hours were filled with DDR, air hockey, pretending to be on skis, and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. Never let it be said that Sinister kids just sit around limply, eating Haribo and discussing Isobel's hair. We were WHIRLWINDS of activity. I have a new-found appreciation for Ken's DDR skeez, having now found out just how difficult it is (or rather, how little sense of natural rhythm I have). The pier had mostly recovered from its brush with fire. The purveyors of 'pork on chips' were certainly still alive and well, as were the DJs, locked in their little booth and forced to play Mousse T and Simply Red all afternoon. Brighton has class you see. In the pub everyone got a chance to read local listings magazines and find out just how freakish Brighton is; we also discussed absent friends and non-league football and looked at girls' legs. Later on I bundled six people into my tiny front room with two mattresses and one duvet and callously left them to kick each other and shiver all night long. We did have a feast of chilli puffs, gorgeous bread, chocolate biscuits and tea first though. So I AM a good hostess, honest. (Even if the only bit actually provided by me was the tea...) I then went to bed as the strains of Ken's sperm CD (off the front of the Independent, don't ask...) faded away. In the morning the Sinister stench was negligible! I think the secret is: don't continue to drink alcohol on return to flat, also don't have anyone in the flat who smokes or vomits. Hurrah. There was a bit of a greenhouse effect once the sun came out though, so we headed off in search of lard. Not before having an Actual Belle & Sebastian Conversation though! (NB. if anyone can provide any examples of 'zeugma' in B&S lyrics or otherwise, we'd be grateful.) No Buddies (aka Gay Lard) this time, but we discovered Naff Caff (Goth Lard) instead, where we enjoyed mounds of fried potatoes and a pierced waitress. Then there was just time for another quick dally by the seaside. My attempt to take everyone's photo next to the random doughnut sculpture failed (it was the last day of National Doughnut Week!) but fun was had anyway. The collapsed West Pier looked noble and sad in the distance, while we skipped stones and tried to hide from the cruel brightness of the sun. Unfortunately, even playing chicken with the sea on a steep incline didn't make Mark fall in. All the excitement combined with an enormous Sunday roast meant that I fell asleep at 6pm and missed most of the evening, but it was worth it. I hope all your weekends were as good. love Archel xxx ****************** Visit www.buzzwords.ndo.co.uk for the best new writing on the web.

Sinister: On The Air. . .
by Brian McNeill 03 Mar '03

03 Mar '03

Can any kind soul please help me get my hands on any good quality cdrs of b&s live/rare stuff and on the radio? Cos, I no longer have stuff liek the black sessions any more. And I have never seen any decent bootlegs anywhere. Apart from up the barras, and I resent paying £8+ for a cdr. I shall of course provide all blanks and postage and a copy of any of the bootl;egs I have. (mostly Neil young and dylan and a few kinks ones!) I hope someone can help. . . thanking you al in advance and DO have an unusual day toodle-ooo brian _________________________________________________________________ Overloaded with spam?

Did you know there is such a thing as a Tigers Milk Bar? I didnt. So I got one and photographed it here: http://www.brapps.net/tigersmilkbar.html. I thought Id found some genuinely new content for the list, until I checked the archives and found mentions of the said confectionery here: http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/199905/msg00299.html here: http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/199802/msg00599.html and here: http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/199802/msg00545.html .. Oh well. _________________________________________________________________ Overloaded with spam?
