Sinister: Lovesick on a rainy afternoon........
by Christopher Devaney 27 Apr '03

27 Apr '03

In a vague attempt at "content" good to hear we can expect a new album from fellow jeepster jump shippers snow patrol in the summer. Although on the other hand it also means being deprived of the Reindeer Section for the foreseeable future. Now to the nitty gritty. I need some help from Sinister females (and males if you have anything to pass on). I need to show a girl how much I love her. Short of plonking a ring on her finger (which believe me I would love to do but circumstances forbid it at the moment) I can't think of the best, most grandiose and original way. But I know the Sinister massiv will be able to help me out with this one. Big love, Chris __________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Sinister: my chip shop-ing days are over
by Ben Apps 26 Apr '03

26 Apr '03

Archel reminded us of the long lost art of the pastiche. This one has been gathering dust for a few weeks now: The Loneliness Of A Middle Aged Goalkeeper I'll take a second of the day to think about the goals that weve let in this year Were 3 nil down, the pouring rain, I'm in between the frog and railways sticks again The full times looking colourful It's the colour of pub lager and protection of an open goal An open goal is wide on the field Wide on the field Wide on the field 'Til the posts come down. The right back, Ricky, slates the opposition but it doesn't mean that we will show studs There's a throw-in up the line, we'll pay the ref to add some time, and off we go (thud) The full times looking wonderful It's the wonder of the magic sponge and muddy pitches everywhere, no one cares Oh, you care I know You care I know You care I know Is it four nil or five? (guitar solo) On a soggy afternoon spent in dispute you'll give yourself a headache, ref So he took my name for hauling down their bleeding striker and a pen he gave! Have you seen the loneliness of a middle aged Goalkeeper, When he stops the ball and looks around Just like big Dave, Hes past it now The ball hit the stanchion Ball hit the stanchion Ball hit the stanchion Won't you welly it in? Ball hit the stanchion Ball hit the stanchion Ball hit the stanchion Won't you welly it in? Take care. I'm going to play with my lego now.

Sinister: "I want to fall in love and have a baby - That's my main goal in life ....
by Laura Llew 26 Apr '03

26 Apr '03

That and finding a good drug dealer." My little poppets, my pigsnies, my pudgy pals ~ Again, I've been straying from my goal of posting to you frisky little devils each week so I've decided to repent and right myself once again. Even if I can't think of anything to write because when has that ever stopped me before? My latest activity of recent has been reading articles like this: http://www.gawker.com/03/01/003089.html and seriously considering taking up hard drugs. If I did, I would probably be substantially thinner and have nicer cheekbones and aren't those the really important things in life? Also, I would love to be able to sincerely make statements like, "My friend tried to not do drugs for a while and he was like 'this is a nightmare! I have to sleep eight hours a day. I'm tired all the time. I wake up and it takes me three hours to get up, and then I'm tired in the afternoon.' For months he was like that" with conviction. Other than reading gawker and wishing I lived in NYC, I haven't been up to much - unless you count working two jobs during tax season, a roadtrip to Maine (nothing like a jaunt to the other end of the country for a nice weekend trip), and then a short dash of eight hours to go see the Delgados play and chuckle it up with GayJay while being ignored by another NC sinister scenester, Damon. Evidently, the gay jay and I watched a video with sexually graphic gay scenes while I was there and I had NO idea. Honestly, it didn't even phase me and I didn't even really think it was even very graphic. Perhaps, it's because I've always think that that kind of ting should have an effect on me. Of course, that would make a boy in a particularly pair of foxy glasses sexually explicit but not Queer As Folk. I believe I'm starting to see the flaw in my thinking. I came into work early this morning because there is a bridal fair next door which a lot of other main street businesses are participating in. I, being the caring active merchant I am, just wanted to get down here early to support them. That and I knew that parking would be a bitch. Of course, I had no idea how bad since there's also some kind of charity walk going on so the streets are lined with these pre-teen Lolitas all wearing ridiculously short shorts and randomly spastically jerking (I think they call it "cheering"). There's also two bible preachers on the corner duking it out through the scriptures. It's really amusing and I'm glad I brought my camera. However, I know by noon that I'm going to curled in a ball crying for my mommy. Or at least for the rapture. I apologize that I don't have any belle and sebastian content. The Delgados have stringed instruments and hail from Scotland - isn't that close enough? If Stuart Murdoch ever wants to hold an exclusive charity concert (raising funds for girls with glasses of course) in my bedroom, then I'd be happy to supply content ridden posts to your heart's delight (or instant failure thereof). xo, Ll PS - Happy Birthday shouts out to Mandee, Lauren Oranges, and that York schoolboy James T who all celebrated this week. And great post shouts out to the two Kevins. PPS - Thanks to GayJay for being the hostess with the mostess in letting me stay at your place, making me mad blush in front of cute waiters, and watch racy gay sex scenes. _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: just a new genre to propose- date-rape rock
by Kevin Hyde 25 Apr '03

25 Apr '03

Hi Sinister, Yup. That subject line is quite a doozy. But look here: my roommate and I had been talking, some weeks back, about the sort of pseudo-academic taxonomy that are genre names in music, and how it might be fun to just try to come up with a few of our own to propagate. So, Stine's post reminded me of one of the names we had tossed back and forth- date-rape rock. And the main practitioner of said genre? John Mayer himself. It works like this, I think (and, by the way, I just wanted to disclaim about a few things here- I'm not intending this in any kind of elitist condescending way. I enjoy JM, if mostly by merit of his insane vocal similarity to Dave Matthews + looking like he could be Matthews' younger and skinnier brother. Etc.)- Take your average frat-boy who likes JM a whole pantload. He likes to play him both to chill and rock out. Also, John Mayer can turn a phrase here and there, maybe at a level of wordplay the frat-boy hasn't quite worked himself up to. Said F-B can play John Mayer (or even some of the lighter Dave Matthews, see "Crash"), and by doing so, show some proximal girlie that he is sensitive enough to appreciate not only John Mayer and his gentle brand of smooth rock, but also is savvy enough to exhibit his endorsement of John Mayer by playing him in public, thereby somehow admitting his allegiance to such sensitivity. Our little F-B is endorced by and endorces John Mayer, and the barre-chord drunk chica has no choice but to fall for this little trick. Or so me and my roommate would like to think. I'm constantly on the lookout for some Post-Mayer practitioners of Date-Rape Rock, so let me know if you all find any. Besides that, huh. I almost set fire to a large residential complex the other day by trying to barbecue with charcoal for the first time in my life. Before anyone starts questioning my manhood, let me just add that I know how to work a *gas* grill as well as your average suburban father. But charcoal- whole nother story. I had some trouble using the matches that were provided, and it was almost scarily windy outside, so I decided, heck, why not use my cigarette lighter to get these briquettes in the mood. I picked one up in my hand, and had it cupped in my hand off to my lee side, and had just gotten the lighter to spark barely, when the thing was blazing, right there in my palm. Instead of just letting it go, I kind of threw it. Unfortunately, I also managed to adrenaline-propel that little sucker into a trashcan full of paper and other crap, and, uh, that started to catch fire too. Luckily, one of the girls who works for me was far less hypnotized by the flames (and is far less prone to saying things like 'whoa, that's awesome' when things break or are immolated, unlike myself), and grabbed some of the ice we had handy for the picnic, which had melted, and put out my (if I may say so) bitchin' refuse-fire. And for the rest of that night, I smelled like a combination of charcoal powder and meat, which hey, I hear that's like the equivalent of catnip to the ladies. Anyway, it's raining lightly here, and I'm listening to the new Ted Leo disc. It's good. I needed to buy another guitar album after such a long period with an aural diet of Matmos and Jan Jelinek. This is the last day of classes at the college that I work for, and all the students are wandering around drunk. I can't even begin to do it justice. Hope you're all well, Kevin +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: play me a song to set me free
by Christine Irene 25 Apr '03

25 Apr '03

hi everyone! against what the weathermen have forecasted...the sun is *somewhat* shining today. the youngest of my charges decided, out of the blue clear sky, that she is tired of diapers (nappies for those of you in the UK). she is doing a great job thus far. her 2 attempts at using the potty proved fruitless....though promptly upon completing her second try...she went all over her clothes :o) it must be funny to not know how to use the loo. can you imagine how weird it would be if, as adults, we wore nappies all of the time? though, it may be a time saver occasionally, it would be more uncomfortable than anything.....i would imagine. so what is new with everyone lately? it was nice to see archel post...the list has been really quiet of late. it's funny how it goes in waves like that...i'll have 493 posts in my box one day and 3 another. :o) not much is new here.....the potty training thing is my excitement for the day...sadly. my bosses have a benefit to go to tomorrow, so i'll be here for a few hours in the pm. it is also one of my boss' birthday on sunday....i have NO idea what to buy him. he is, without question, the hardest person that i have to buy for. oh well. olivia, the youngest of my charges, has been very into pavement lately. you should hear her sing "Cut Your Hair." is v. funny! :O) on the audio side....have had John Mayer in my Hi-Fi for awhile. i got it before it was on sale to common people, as i was still in the throes of marketing and the like back then....(i miss free cd's) anyway, i fell in love with it, and, for the better part of the past 18 months, it has kept me sane. i think it has a lot to do with him being the same age that i am...we are in similar places in life. i heard him do an interview in which he was discussing the song "No Such Thing." he explained that the song was just about being so frustrated at this point in life. knowing that you are a reasonably intelligent person who has amazing potential, and how frustrating it is to try to figure out what that potential is. i love that album. it's just acoustic based songwriting stuff...he reminds me of a modern, more rockin james taylor type. really nice melodies, easily identifiable lyrics, etc. he isn't into drugs though...least not yet. here are the lyrics of one of my favourite tracks: GREAT INDOORS � Check your pulse it's proof that you're not listening to The call your life's been issuing you The rhythm of a line of idle days � Scared of a world outside you should go explore Pull all the shades and wander the great indoors The great indoors � Lamplight makes the shadows play And posters take the walls away The T.V. is your window pane The view won't let you down So put your faith in a late night show I bet you didn't even know Depends on how far out you go The channel numbers change � Scared of a world outside you should go explore Pull all the shades and wander the great indoors � Though lately I can't blame you I have seen the world And sometimes wish your room had room for two � So go unlock the door And find what you are here for Leave the great indoors Please leave the great indoors � Check your pulse it's proof that you're not listening to The call your life's been issuing you The rhythm of a line of idle days sometimes it's just easier to stay inside, surrounded by the things that make you feel comfortable. surrounded by things that are familiar and, one would hope, soothing. aww. i love john mayer. i really do. on the chris martin front...read that he and gwyneth had a huge falling out at a gig and are on the rocks... (ducks so you can't see nefarious grin) ah well. i s'pose i shall go now. i hope that y'all have a lovely weekend :o) today i finally overcame, trying to put the world inside a picture frame... ~stine __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Sinister: indie boi
by R.Playforth＠sussex.ac.uk 25 Apr '03

25 Apr '03

Glad to see that the mighty crunching wheels of Glasgow picnic planning have started to roll; of course not having a beach is a big flaw but it can't be helped ;) I look forward to hearing Reports Back of bad dancing, mass arrests and lewd acts with Ribena. On a smaller and more imminent scale, there is still the option of a Sinister meeting at/before the London Go-Betweens gig on Monday if anyone fancies it (or indeed, fancies either me or the Gingerfox or both, cos, er, we'll be there). Email me, yo. I don't think Sinister's ever heard about someone's vasectomy before. We truly are getting more fascinating every day and I don't mean that sarcastically. Coming soon: 'Smear Test Diaries'. Sadly I can't offer anything so exciting, but that won't stop me dragging everyone down to my level. The grand(ish) tradition of the pastiche has been a bit neglected lately, so I decided to waste most of the morning at work composing this timeless ballad (maybe you can sing it to your girl at the ball, Ian P): **** Indie Boi He was a geek She was more chic Can I make it any more obvious? He wore brown flares She had Amelie's hair What more can I say? He crushed on her She'd never tell secretly she crushed on him as well But all of her friends Stuck up their nose They had a problem with his corduroy clothes. He was an indie boy She said you're too skinny boy He wasn't good enough for her She had a pencil case With Hello Kitty's face She needed to come back down to earth. Five years from now She sits at home Feeding the goldfish she's all alone She turns on TV Guess who she sees Indie boy on the Open University. She calls up her friends They already know And they've all got Tickets to see the show. She tags along Stands at the back to Look at the man and his protractor. He was an indie boy She said you're too skinny boy He wasn't good enough for her Now he's earned loads of cash Doing really hard maths Does your pretty face see what he's worth? <repeat> Sorry girl but you missed out Well tough luck that boy's mine now We're discussing quantum physics And waiting for aliens to visit. Too bad that you couldn't see See the man that geek could be. There is more than meets the eye I've seen the way he can recite Pi. He's just a geek And I'm just a freak Can I make it any more obvious? We are in love Haven't you heard How we are happy being nerds? I'm with the indie boy The Mork to my Mindy boy I'll be backstage after the show I'll be in the studio Working out the formula For how much of a bitch you are... <repeat> **** Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time. love Archel Lavigne xxx ****************** Visit www.buzzwords.ndo.co.uk for the best new writing on the web.

Sinister: Mon Dieu, c'est un pique-nique!
by Lucy Alder 25 Apr '03

25 Apr '03

Ah, Sinister. When the birds start a-twitterin and the trees start a-blossomin and the sun starts a-shinin, you know its time for a Sinister Picnic. And, seeing as your favourite band will be a-concertin too, why not go large and make it a Big Weekend? I bumped into Nal on the number 44 last night and we decided that now is the time to start organising. Shes going to post to the Bowlie board and let them know these same details, so with our combined strengths, this one should be massive, man. Incidentally, we are hoping for a Sinister vs Bowlie footie match, so get in training now, lads. Just cos Sinisters own Ronaldo, Ally Cook, will be in attendance, that doesnt mean he wont need back-up from wannabe Zidanes, Figos and Roberto Carloses. Anyway, heres the plan: *Friday 16th May* The Winchester Clubs first birthday celebrations are the night before the gig! Apparently, this has aroused suspicions amongst some cynics that wed changed the date to coincide with the Sinister Big Weekend. Nonsense! The night was booked back at the beginning of February. It is merely luck. And what great luck! For, performing for you that night will be none other than the Dudley Corporation, featuring Joss and Dudley, sometime of this very parish. In support, we have Belfast lovelies Language of Flowers. And then theres dancing aplenty as Gav, Sarah, Carey, Ally and my good self (all sometime of this very parish as well) spin tunes for your dancing pleasure. Its from 9pm-2am, costs a bargainous £3 to get in and you can find out more on our website here: http://www.geocities.com/the_winchester_club *Saturday 17th May* Yo, Jordan Knight from New Kids on the Block's birthday. And also picnic day! Pack a bag with food and drink* and bring it to Kelvinbridge Station for 2pm. Dont go up the escalator onto the bridge itself take the exit that leads onto the car park. Look out for a huge gang of people sporting the usual duffel coat/flares/nerdy specs/upside-down badges combo. Smile shyly and offer somebody a fag/swig of beer/dolly mixture. We will then proceed to a spot in Kelvingrove Park which will be quite close to a pub called the Tap (on Sauchiehall Street) in case it rains. Later, we will proceed/stagger/be carried, unconscious, to the gig. *Sunday* RUIN. Bobby Conn and the Pastels are both playing on Sunday night, so there are options if youre feeling a bit less ruinous by eventide. Right then, theres your plan. If youre of a nervous disposition and would like my mobile phone number, write me off-list. Juicy Lucy *Picnickers, please note: Glasgows finest dont like it when you drink alkyhol in a public place. For this reason, we recommend you bring only weak lemon drink or Ribena. Ha! Fooled you! Actually, we recommend you pour your vodka into a lemonade bottle or something equally inconspicuous, or just be very careful.

Sinister: There was a pregnant pause before she said yeees

How great is this. I asked this girl I know (Lucy) if she would come to our schools end of year ball thing (Dunblane Hydro, be there or be square). And she said yes How fantastic is that? Shes really lovely and everything, shes GOING TO THE BALL WITH ME. The last time i was this happy with a girl was when, erm, well THAT WAS AGES AGO. So its good, right? I'll have to hire a kilt now. I dont want to wear one of those stupid Prince Charlie jackets, you know, with the silver buttons and the weird cut and the general daftness. I want a like, tweed jacket, but you can only wear them in the daytime apparently. I looked them up, and it looks like the Argyll semi-formal jacket is the one for me. I wonder what my tartan is. It better not be really green. Now, if i can just work out what 'going to the ball with..' actually means, ill be sorted. Sorry for the triviality of this post, I just had to say something.
