Hello all, Can three posts earn me an exit pass from Lurkerdom? I'm not sure I'd like that, being quite comfortable as a Lurker. I am a fan of Lurking. I feel as though if I post, it implies the ridiculous notion that I imagine myself a person with something interesting to say. May I reiterate the phrase "ridiculous notion?" And yet, speaking of interesting things to say, the infamous Laura Llew wrote: "Evidently, they remembered me telling about I wouldn't mind having hooked up with Emily Dickinson. She would have been great to be in love with. Even if you both lived in the same town, you could just see her through a window across the street and occasionally wave at each other. Now that's love." I have to say, that's probably one of the most accurate desscriptions I've ever heard of the perfect relationship for the Quietly Aloof (as opposed to The Antisocial, or even The Emotionally Unavailable...). To have the "warm fuzzies," ------ ah, that lovely feeling ----- and at least a vague sense of the unconditional acceptance of a relationship... but without all the bother of human interaction, which is frought with perils, being dependent on humans who are by definition fuck-ups (wow, that ended the illusion that could at all feign a poetic voice)... Anyway, I just wanted to point out that the Emily-Dickinson-in-the-Window is a splendid metaphor. On to more concrete things: Since I've gotten a huge zilch on time/place suggestions for the MidAtlantic Picnic, I'm going to perform a First for myself and take initiative. I'm throwing out a picnicky date here -- seems to me a good weekend would be that of *August 23*? Perhaps An Afternoon Picnic on the Mall, either that Saturday or Sunday. If we all get on famously, there's always NW and Adam's Morgan nightlife to behold later in the evening. Foodstuffs, booze, activities and booze can be arranged; I'm just looking for a general roll call as to who's up for it. Anyone? As always, emails are welcome. And if you're feeling blase about it, just think of all the reporting back we could do! We could even lie to make it sound like we had WAY more fun than we actually did! Enticing, isn't it? Besides, SOMEONE'S got to throw popcorn at the tourists. I'm tired of doing it every weekend all by myself. It gets lonely and inconveniently buttery. Back to work. Ugh. Best to all, Kim _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Was ist dein lieblingsfach?
by Emma Cooper 16 Jul '03

16 Jul '03

Hello Everyone. I just got back from Germany today. Four of us went, the other three had 'pen pal' friend people and I'd found one so we all had somewhere free to stay with food, which was good. Our plan was to spend a week loitering around in Alsfeld (picturesque smallish town east of Frankfurt, in the centre) and maybe say some xenophobic anti-german comments relating to the war, loudly, in jest, of course and eat ice cream and buy CDs. Then on saturday I found myself amongst 750,000 barely-clad flourescent germans dancing to loud house music coming from trucks in Berlin. It was interesting, I felt a bit out of place in my jeans and red knitted cardigan (not as hot as it sounds), though the weather was hot. A highlight was definately and break in the doom,doom,doom,doom drum beat for 15 seconds of the Doors' 'The End' and I heard 2 house versions of Minnie Riperton songs around, Lovin' you and Inside my love (the "2 people... song). We were getting a bit desperate for any half decent music with tunes. The house version of the doors song was a big improvement on Will Young's take on light my fire. Actually met a girl called Nicole who calls her dad Papa, we thought this was brilliant and there were lots of reinactions of "papa" ... "nicole" ( from the advert). Things could only go down hill from there and I was deeply dissappointed when in reply to my " your 3 wishes and no 'more wishes', 'lots of money', world peace' " she replied with " long healthy life for me and family and friends" how uttlerly unimaginative. But she did redeem herself in general conversation and she picked chocolate over cheese in my long running asking everyone which they prefer. These two question go out to anyone if you want to answer, I'd be interested. One morning the host mother was talking to me about the Reichstag and Hitler and I spent the whole time desperately wanting to ask her with an innocent face who Hitler was. I didn't. Germany is cleaner than England and there are lots of those power generating windmills, but the food isn't as good. By the way I've never heard of the cave art in Derbyshire but I'm intrigued. Has anyone ever heard of the phrase "to sleep with the fishes" ?

Sinister: I wish u heaven?
by Mark Casarotto 16 Jul '03

16 Jul '03

Ka-bam! Hey sinisterines its me, spurred into action by Laura and Werther spurring Maddie into action. A ménage a quatre, if you will, albeit separated on at least 4 dimensional planes. Its only 10 days till I get on my 20th or so flight of the last year not bad for a chap whos, at best, been in part-time employment over that time. Unfortunately, it wont be back to my beloved America, but Im not *too* sad about that, as close friends will know, thanks to the imminent arrival of something rather special in the UK. However, I will be back in New York next April, thank heavens Ive become addicted to Americana since my first trip there to see B&S at the Supper Club. Ah, mammaries. Did you know Sinister will be 6 soon? There are people who seem to think its even older, but no dears, your maths is slightly out. Lorraines putting-womens-lib-back-40-years post was marvellous, and it makes me sad she only says hello when the poor thing is confused, or has the vapours. Perhaps she should just apply herself to being pretty, sewing ribbons on her bonnet, etc. Or coming to London for Tigermilking! Which Ill be DJing at, natch, and Im a fucking great DJ, honest I am. Hello again, Christine. Do you mind speaking for yourself when referring to Sinister as twee? Thanks awfully. And Fifty Cent, do you think perhaps it could be adjectival? Ebays got its fingers into me recently, but bargains are proving annoyingly hard to find. Unless you want books, but to be honest, theyre not very good. There were an amusingly large number of Potter books for sale at way above cover price in the week before it came out seems some people didnt click that by the time the auction finished, theyd be able to buy it for a tenner on Amazon. Tsk. And finally are there two tall bob-haired guitar-playing sisters from London on this list, as I was standing behind you both on the tube yesterday and I noticed Twattybus in your CD player. I was sadly not wearing an upside down badge, but I dont even know if thats the recognised sign of sinisterism these days. Still searching for Lovesexy at 99p, Mark xxx ________________________________________________________________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends? Get the FREE Yahoo!

Sinister: an ode to love and friendship
by bus stoppers 15 Jul '03

15 Jul '03

it has been a while, and i doubt that but just a teeny handful of you might actually know who i am. but i had to post. just had to. i am in the big apple. new york. nyc. an old friend from san diego moved here and i sit here at her computer while she is at the lab letting the rats out of their meshy confines. but back to my point. as if i hardly ever have one. i am staying with my friend john in jersey city. he has high ceilings that i had never seen in person before. *flashback* valentine's day. 2002. my first valentine ever. and a sinister one at that. *real time* basically i just wanted to sit and write about him. because i completely adore him. so if you don't want to read on about someone special, fuck off and read something else. he is my comfort personified. he is the kind of friend that i don't mind the effort. i want everything special and beautiful for him. and though he may not believe it, i believe within my inner depths of all that is innocent and true that he will recieve it. he introduces me to new things that aren't so scary as when i'm alone. he is my warm blanket on chilly days. i have urges to hug him every once and a while. i have to get my fix. have you ever loved someone so much that you could literally feel it in your guts? my new daily prayer from now on will be that everyone finds one... he gives me complete honesty and the best of our humanity. a perspective of someone older, wiser, and beautiful. he is a gentlemen, which is a wonderful rarity. he pushes me to be a better person. and i want to be a better person for me and for him. i want to make him proud of me. so here's to you my love, cheers. everyone raise your glasses. here's to circus boys who feel melancholy for red heads and upstate new yorkers with the cutest ears in the world... love forever and ever, your little sara ===== all the people'd stare as if we were both quite insane someday my name and his are going to be the same __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Sinister: detroit rock city
by Christine Irene 15 Jul '03

15 Jul '03

greetings everyone....it's good to be home. i am fresh off of a couple of days in America's loveliest city...Detroit, Michigan. (to those overseas who are unaware of the US opinion of detroit, michigan, it is affectionately known as "the toilet.") i took my l'il sister there for the big eminem show...well, one of the two big eminem shows. i dunno how popular eminem is here on sinister as he is not really known for being twee....i like him though. i like everything....except for the shite stripes. well, i like music from every genre really......a few observations on the show and Detroit: 1) Detroit has the most fucked up road system i have ever driven on.....highway signs very small and hidden behind trees.....the way streets in the heart of downtown are all U shaped and always turn you around, whether you like it or not. 2) every single thing in that city is named after or in some way references ford....i sort of expected a lot of ford propaganda...but my goodness! 3) the way they make each side of their stadiums look alike, so you never know what entrance you are at. 4) missy elliot was amazing..... 5) eminem swore the least of the 3 acts... 6) i refuse to refer to fifty cent as fifty cent...i always call him fifty cents.....i mean really. i am a white suburban girl, and i accept that....don't even get me started on the wanna-be-gangsta-ghetto youth who call him "fitty..." ewww. 7) a songwriting tip.....if you are at a loss for lyrical content, gratuitous use of the word "mohterfucker" will make the kids think you are a lyrical prodigy....perhaps that is why the Belles have never gone mainstream... "If you're feeling sinister, dawg go and and see a minister, dawg he'll try in vain to take away, y'all the pain of being a hopeless motherfucker" see...sheer poetry. ah well....after an-almost tornado this morning, the sun shines again.....will it ever stop raining in chicago? if animals start lining up 2x2, i'm getting the hell outta here :O) ~motherfuckerstine __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Sinister: michiko kakutani + my searing crush
by Kevin Hyde 15 Jul '03

15 Jul '03

Hi everyone, If I were to ever find myself in a hardcore band, perhaps even waking up onstage in medias res, I would perform a slow burning ballad to the woman named above, in the subject line: the New York Times literary critic who is not only an excellent writer, but whose septi-syllabic name is a veritable palatal workout. I find her occasionally inscrutable and hostile manner to be one of the most attractive things, and heck, why not? Who wouldn't love a girlfriend like that? I think she's also like 50 though, so, uh, it might not work out. Although, given recent lyrical trends in Liz Phair albums (and I can only assume that Michiko is a raving LP fan, probably has like "Exile in Guyville" glued into her Technics), maybe she's "beginning to think young guys rule". Hot, baby, hot. Other Kevin (to whom I am known as 'bastard idiot Kevin') said he would kill babies if he had his druthers. Oh, wait, no, I'm confusing him with someone from the Godspeed You! Black Emperor mailing list. Other Kevin actually mentioned the afternoon email coma syndrome, which is a great great thing. Customarily, I'll come back from my one-hour lunch break and sit down and, as my brother likes to say in reference to bands like Phish, "just fucking jam". I wrote an email to the manufacturer of Listerine the other day, in hopes that they might let me know what the name of the actress who appears in the swishing-around-in-her-mouth commercial is (my roommate and I had decided to write to her c/o someone and let her know that she was, in fact, the apotheosis of the phrase 'cute as a button'). The email I got back, which was surprisingly ungrammatical, informed me that Listerine could not divulge the personal information of this actress, and besides they didn't know anyway, and then went on to sort of clumsily imply that I was an asshole for even wondering in the first place. Hmmm. When does one become a lurker? I mean, it really rather seems like one of those adjectives that are logically ambiguous, much along the same lines as 'bald'. Is one post per year a lurker? Although I suppose you could just say something like 'posting not once in a calendar year' merits a membership in lurkerdom, I'd imagine that's the only brute discontinuity that exists. Anyway, hey, what if there are people on this list who have taken a vow of silence? I was wondering about this, with brow intensely furrowed, because of the monks shown in the amazingly wonderful and blasphemous AOL commercial, who IM each other back and forth like pre-prom dateless teens. Does this actually happen? In case you can't tell from the above two paragraphs, I'm as vulnerable as an eight year-old on sodium pentothal when it comes to the suggestive nature of television commercials. Real point being though: lurkers, hello. You are people too, I know, I know. Have been playing loads of badminton lately. Will extend offer of marriage to any girl who can and does smoke while playing badminton, this way I can feel justified in saying publicly something like 'take that out of your mouth and hit that 'cock back to me', which I have been known to quote in places like, oh say, my high school yearbook. 's true. Anythough, seriously, I do love me some badminton, and will suffer gross indignities to play it. This being by far the most inconsistent of my already-pretty-much-fiercely-uneven posts, I'll non-sequitur end it on the same note I finished my senior paper in philosophy: "and thus, after so much struggling and wasted debate, the problems of ethical language are, finally, reolved." Xxx hubris and comma action, whew. Oh, and thanks to Kim Girton for preparing the (middle) East Coast to picnic the holy hell out of itself. We will report back so hard, it'll be Rashomon, email version. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Hannah Brown mentioned 'Soft Pink Truth' and I almost wet myself, this album is so ruthlessly good, really. Laura Llew spoke of Prospect Park in conjunction with tickets and cat masks and poetess recluses. Re: which I saw something on a website once that went like this- GIRL: Hey, I'm feeling, um, a little Emily GUY: What's that? GIRL: Dick in, son. It's shake and bake, and I helped, xoxo, Kevin +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Boys rule, girls drool.
by The Hodottir 15 Jul '03

15 Jul '03

Hello you cheeky batch of munkeys, In fact, just typing that has made me realise there really isn't enough monkey talk on Sinister is there? But that's not why I'm posting. A few of you may know my posting habits - I tend to lurk for months, never contributing a jot or adding to the debate until something baffles me to the point where I simply can't resist opening the forum to a bunch of B&S fans who quite possibly have an answer for everything. This year's hot topic: Why is it that boys have great hobbies and interests while most girls just seem to make a lifelong hobby of snaring the boys with the hobbies? HUH? Is anybody else out there feeling this? Par exampluh: Boys can: Play guitar (and/or other instruments) DJ Make the interweb Shoot films Skateboard (ref: the delightful Avril Lavigne) etc Girls can: Put on make-up Shop for Scotland Flirt Win gold in Olympic gossip Hug It's not like I hadn't noticed the difference before, but it's becoming more and more glaringly obvious as the boys are turning their hobbies into really cool and exciting careers, while the girls are lagging behind, tripping up over their legwarmers. (Think Spinal Tap's Jeanine to the infintely talented David and you're catching my drift...) Can anyone explain this, or am I just being a bit too hard on my sistahs? Perhaps you'll retort with a 'speak for yourself', but come on, I mean, we're a bit crap, aren't we? Oh dear, what a poorly-constructed arguement. If I were a boy, I'd have thought it through - laid it out. Better still, I'd have sent you a post about something more interesting - like whammy bars or whatever they're talking about down Denmark Street this week. Answers on a Dukes of Hazzard postcard please.

Sinister: hi, friends!
by clairk＠carleton.edu 15 Jul '03

15 Jul '03

It made sense to me that every building in this part of the country would have a basement in the event of dodgy weather conditions such as we're experiencing right now. That was before I moved into my current apartment, which has no basement. So here I am in the library waiting for these storms to pass so that I can go back home and not get swept away like so many little dogs named Toto. I'm glad that people who were at Glastonbury have reported back! since we don't get too many huge festivals here in flyover country. I spent part of that weekend being jealous, but I was in Wisconsin for most of it, and when you're in Madison there's too many restaurants around and too much food to eat to waste time on things like that. Oh well. Next year I'll be there, assuming I learn to control the world financial markets and drive the exchange rate down to like a hundred pounds to the dollar the night before tickets go on sale. That'll show 'em! I may not be going to Prospect Park to see the band, but I _am_ going to Cleveland to see Celtic and they're from Glasgow, so it's almost like the same thing. And my seats for the football will be much better than where I'd be at for a concert. And I get to ride roller coasters. I think I get the better deal, personally. Although I don't have anyone in specific that I'd like to request posts from, I would like to request posts in general, as I've recently discovered that I can get away with checking my e-mail at work and the afternoons are much more exciting when I switch over to the e-mail and it says I have a new message awaiting me. Trucker hats? I remember back in the day when I was in the third grade and didn't have any real baseball hats yet, and my dad would give me all his trucker hats with the names of herbicides on them that he'd get at farm shows in Iowa. Those were old school. I can't imagine these hats as being able to lend the "FFA chapter president" look that I was going for by wearing a trucker hat in the first place. bah. Maybe if they had a picture of a cornstalk on it. But I don't think they have corn in Scotland. You could prove me wrong if you'd like. At any rate, when I hit my mid-life crisis and start driving sixteen-wheelers across the country, I think I'll stick with hats that say Monsanto on them. I'll fit in better with the convoy that way. roger, ten-four, -kevin +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: GLASTO MEETUP (tried to think of a punning title, but failed, so went for direct option)
by Hewitt, Stephen 14 Jul '03

14 Jul '03

Um, just a quick one kiddywinks. In case any of you are going to glastonbury and have missed the frankly scintillating conversations on siniglasto about inflatable canoes, poo and giant robot donald fishers this is just to let you know that there will be an exciting gathering of the tribes/picnic/FAP (sinister, other belle and sebastian interweb hobby, franks, space-cadets, ilx and several random others all in the same place at once!!) with the following details: Thursday night (from 7ish) Oneworld (nee Jazzworld, nee Jazz) Field Next to the BROTHERS BAR perry stall With an inflatable canoe. Apparently. Come, it shall be fun :) Perry is pear cider by the way, it tastes like sweets. Sweets with lots of alcohol in, that is... There is also possible hanging around in the field of lost vagueness (I'm not making this up, you know) on Saturday afternoon, but no firm plans as such... KEN CHU may even be there, well he'll certainly be on site, but whether you can get past the screaming ladies and his burly bouncers is another matter entirely... (hehehe "burly bouncers") Woohoo I'm going to be in a field in two days time!!! xoxo CarsmileSteve +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
