Sinister: What a way to make a living....
by Madeleine McNeil 14 Jul '03

14 Jul '03

Spurred into action by the gentle nudgings of Sir David and the Llew, I return. There are explanations for my protracted absence, but they're boring and self-indulgent and reflect badly on me, so I shan't go into it here. Suffice to say, I finished my degree and have started real grown-up work of the full-time nine-to-five variety. And I have limited internet access at work and a full office of women who, though kindly, would not appreciate me emailing you legion of bedsit saddos when I should be working. Work is an interesting affair, though no more interesting than it is tiresome and dull, sadly. It's not that I actively dislike it, it's more that I find it so annoying because it prevents me from doing what I really want to do. Don't people realise how much lying down and reading I could be doing if it weren't for all those pesky phone calls and enquiries? How can they not see how much they're holding me back from my life? Life has now become something that I fit in in the evenings if I'm not too weary, or do at the weekends if I'm not too hungover. And work is also turning me into one of those people who moans about work all the time, and I hate that.... Romance appears to be in the Sinister air, and big congratulations are shouted out to the other side of the world to Mrs and Mr Julie and David Bulk. Getting married looks like a right laugh. I do hope their wedding will be like the one I attended the other weekend. Actually, I didn't attend the wedding because my girl reckoned it would be dull, so we jetted up to the North East for the reception. The bride looked wonderful, just as she should. She spend the evening flinging her frock around, dancing to Nutbush City Limits by Tina Turner, while the groom kept sloping off for sneaky cigarettes where his Mam and Dad couldn't see him. Surely, if you've got a three year old child and you've just got hitched, isn't it time that your folks know you smoke? They sure as hell know you had pre-marital sex. I have missed many Sinister activities in the past year or so, and now I have to miss the next one. Dash it all. I have promised my mate Scottish Stu that I'll go to his party on Saturday, so I can't come down to London to twist the night away at Tigermilking. Once, Scottish Stu got angry and hit someone so hard he broke his own finger. He's not the kind of chap I like to turn down. Also, I've heard that at his last party there was a guest who got so drunk he wet his pants. I hate this particular man with the fire of a thousand suns, so must attend in the hopes that I can see the slack-jawed fucker lying in a pool of his own urine. I'm sure you all understand. Another thing that I am sad about is the fact that I shan't have the chance to go on one of my bizarre caravanning holidays this year. Regular readers may remember my jaunts in both Buxton and Boston. The high points of these trips were, respectively, eating hummous in the park, and a day trip to Skegness. Now that I'm a wage slave, I am far too busy swanning around to meetings, sometimes travelling as far as Coalville (smallest gene pool in Britain apparently. Oh man, does it show....) and Market Harborough, I can't take off to the wilds of anywhere that's within a two hour drive. Instead, I'm settling for a week in North Wales. It's female, three-generational fun! My mother, sister and grandma and I are taking off, so that we can have arguments in a new environment. Best New Bossy Susan quote: "Now you, our Mads, look like Drew Barrymore if she'd had reverse lipsuction. You know, with the fat put in...? Smoochey wet kisses to all of you, Madeleine _________________________________________________________________ On the move?

Sinister: So many cargo pants, so little cargo
by Laura Llew 14 Jul '03

14 Jul '03

Whoot! I now officially have my tickets to the August Belle & Sebastian show in Prospect Park! Of course, I still can't believe I'm going to Brooklyn just to see them - I think it's a testament to my devotion to the band. I remember declaring my love for Ben Marcus. Oh, how I would follow him anywhere! Then, the very weekend which I was in the city he was going to be doing a signing. I was swooning from excitement ... until I discovered just exactly where. Oh, how I would follow him to the ends of the very earth, just not to Brooklyn! However, I do have a weakness for Prospect Park which I blame on reading Chaim Potok novels as an impressionable young girl. (I also blame this for my affinity for Jewish boys.) When I was a senior in high school my youngest brother - who is three years older than me - moved to Brooklyn. We had never been very close but I went up to visit him. I guess I wanted to become closer, bond, and all those other siblingesque things. Well, that and check out the five other boys in their early twenties who he was sharing a brownstone with... I remember absolutely nothing about that trip except for us sitting outside of Prospect Park on a bench watching as these two men stole a stereo from a car. It was a bonding moment indeed. Eric eroticized: Unfortunately for all concerned (i.e. ME) Laura wasn't wearing the Catwoman mask. If she had been, I believe I would have turned all girl-liking and swooned. So, in order for Eric to like girls they have to have most of their face covered with a mask? Now, that makes sense. You don't have to worry about me being the cause of any changes to sexual preferences with my Ghost World catmask either. A girl - who is always trying to convince me to become a lesbian - gave that to me for a present while in the bookshop one day. I blushed fiercely, quickly put it away, and then went home and took pictures of myself in it. Hee. However, that's about as far as I went. If I were to wear it around others, I would blush so ferociously that I'm pretty sure that the mask would catch fire. As far as I know, Burned Rubber Scars On Face = Fashion No No. Miss Mandee May Murmured: About a year ago Juicy Lucy warned those of us in long-distance relationships that one of the two would eventually have to relocate to be with their honey. With the exception of the time that I deduced that Larry King really was an alien, I've never shown any particular insightfulness. However, I was pretty sure that the allure of a long-distance relationship was that you never had to be with your significant other for any lengthy period of time. It's so much easier to like someone when you only see them a couple weeks out of the year! Why ruin the joy of not having to by moving closer? Silliness if I have heard it. Then again, I do remember one of my friends saying that my idea of a perfect relationship is Keats dying in Italy writing to Fannie Brawne. 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. xo, Ll PS - I second Werther David in requesting more Miss Maddie Minx posts. Get in! _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

Sinister: Keep on trucking in the twee world
by Ailsa Watson 13 Jul '03

13 Jul '03

Mr Carsmile reminded everyone that he used to be "slightly anal about 80s pop". I think I have to take full responsibility for that, viz. http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/199905/msg00575.html So, er, hello folks. I have been spending far too long not posting to Sinister, but I guess I'm not the only one. I have been lurking during my posting sabbatical, and God it's changed around here. I won't say in what way. Several years too late, I would like to say a belated "hello" to all the peeps at the Glasgow gig, especially Mr 96 and Mr RJG for letting me move into their living room for three days, (with added props to Mr Kaiserotto for wussing out of the sofa-sleeping, thus allowing me said space to sleep) and saving me a small fortune in taxi fares, Mr Trousers and Mr The Pinefox for putting up with my snoring, smelly feet and general room-sharey-ness stuff, Mr Chu for buying the biggest round in the world at the gig, thus saving hours of queuing all round, and everyone else for making an old woman feel young and part of things again. Rest assured if I had any money I'd be tigermilking with the best of them on Saturday... So, trucker hats, eh? What the well-dressed tweeble around town will surely be wearing, and no mistake. Shouldn't everyone going to the Public Enemy thing buy them and wear them sideyways in a Flavor Flav stylee? That would RAWK I'm sure. \m/ This has been a lovely nostalgia trip for me. But I'll have to go hibernate for another eighteen months now I think.

Sinister: smoke a cigarette, i'm not ready ret.
by hannah brown 11 Jul '03

11 Jul '03

Finally after months of hair pulling i have finally finished my years of "education". I can now quietly sit back with a salami roll and start reading sinister again. I've totally lost touch, is there any gossip that i have missed???? I hear that they are selling B&S baseball caps!!!!! Is this honestly true. I drew up some designs for B&S merchandise, they included, girl and boy record bags, fold away 12" and 45" record boxes with a set of stickers to personalise your box and a B&S fuzzy felt set, but they never replied to me. BAH to the baseball hats. As well as being out of sinister touch i have been out of musical and social touch too. I went into FOPP the other day and noticed that the Tindersticks and Mogwai both have new albums out. I hung my head in shame for not knowing this. I did however search out a brilliant and rather odd guy who goes by the name of SOFT PINK TRUTH. He is a former member of Matmos and creates his electo beats and sounds from tiny samples of really terrible pop tunes. He then chops them up and distorts them. It's kinda similar to Bastard Pop but it's really catchy and kitch. Anyway if you've got soulsearch or the equvalent get "make-up", it's a top tune. Woohoo, a picnic, in london, on the 19th!! I'm going to get the day off of work and jooly well go, it's been far too long. See some of you then hopefully, hannah bxxx ps, i've just found the spell check tool, OH JOY!!! _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail messages direct to your mobile phone http://www.msn.co.uk/msnmobile +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

None

DON'T TRY TO SAY TO ME THAT THIS WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE... Alright, Eastern Shore Sinisterites/ines/eens: you might want to sit down for this -- we're going to try a Sinister Picnic! I know, I know -- IT'LL NEVER WORK! But hold off on the verbal flogging -- Apparently, these Midatlantic Pinic Attempts have a piss-poor history, but all the more reason to try again! (I am by nature NOT that optimistic, by the way, so typing such a sentiment actually made me throw up a bit. OK, not really. Ewwww.) Now that I know there are at least six or seven people interested (and that's not counting my fellow lurkers) and the idea hasn't completely flatlined yet, I feel courageous (or naive) enough to say, "So Fancypants, what weekend is good for you?" ("Fancypants" being plural and inclusive of all who live in the tristate area). And thusly I have said it. Anyone who's interested in attending what will be the grandest time to be had in downtown DC should e-mail me, even those with questions about transportation and places to crash if necessity dictates. Some fabulous list individuals have offered their time and presence and planning capabilities (as I have none) so it's not to be missed if you're within a reasonable driving distance. Speaking of said individuals, thank you for the response to my first post. :) Every email made me all squishy inside. Which is a good way to stave off scleroderma. Probably the best way, in fact. So drop me some concrete suggestions if you so wish. I'll do the detail work, but am very bad at making aesthetic choices, even as it pertains to my leisure time. And might I add that I'm ridiculously joyful at the thought of a picnic? Even if I might NOT add it, there it is. Also, this is in extreme advance, but Ted Leo's coming back to the Black Cat after having to cancel his latest DC show due to throat injury. September 10, backstage, 9 PM. I'll be there, so if anyone else is interested, perhaps we could have a mini-meetup there? Or if anyone else wants to suggest shows (sorry I'll miss the Aisler's Set!) for meet-ups, I'm all ears. IT COULD HAVE BEEN A BRILLIANT CAREER Non-sequitir: It seems to me a good indication of a bad day at work when the most heated discussion is about whether or not "awhile" is always one word, or if a space can be placed between the A and the W. Turns out you CAN use "a while," but it has to be used as a noun. And "awhile" must be used as an adverb in order to be considered correct. Also, I hate my job. Since I stupidly graduated and they consequently booted me from college, I've aged three psychological years for every one Roman-calendar year. I'm not liking the math. That being said, I will take my leave. Mostly because it's time to go home from work. Hopefully, I will hear from some of you soon.

Fwd: Sinister: anyone fancy a picnic? - ME ME ME

>hello there, Hello >So yes the picnic, i think Primrose hill would be a >good location as it seems to be a regular stomping >ground for Sinister folk Gadzooks man, I want one in the North East of England. London is over 400 miles away. Note I said I want one, NOT that I want to organise one. >if you think you might go and are worried about >getting lost or being killed by Goths Never! Goths only look scarey. Just talk to them, they're just lonely you know. I went to "Havok" in the days when it was on at the Phoenix club in Manchester. It was chest thumping techno, and jolly good fun, but on this occaision it finished at 3am, and we were still eh-hmm "'Avin it" so we asked (insert "axed" if is a home boy/girl) the bouncer if he knew of anywhere, and he pointed out an all nighter on at some club, so we went. An all nighter must be all that daft dancing stuff, mustn't it? It wasn't. It was tired and morose Goths, looking moody and ill. We were bright perky colourful people. Anyway, we danced to the Sisters of Mercy, skipping in between the shuffling goths. They didn't mind. The DJ even played a slack handful of Prodigy tracks to keep us happy. The only thing was, these Goths didn't speak to us. I was trying to chat, all cheerful like and they just looked morose. Anyway, that's what happened.

Also Respect is great fun in general, you get to sign petitions and everything ;) and it's probably no worse getting to farringdon from north greenwich than from camden... > > if you think you might go and are worried about > getting lost or being killed by Goths as they're alot > in Camden Aw, poor goths, it's not their fault, bless 'em. At glasto (I will finish my glasto write-up and put it on the interweb soon, honest) I saw a very gothy boy watching the polyphonic spree, he looked suitably cheered up afterwards though :) Speaking of glasto, I liked the way that pretty much everyone seems to have met up with someone, despite us all not meeting up together at the same time, even though I'd wager most of us were quite close to each other (the delgados seems to have been a key point i think, I was stood in front of the sound desk next to Cay and Lixi and Big Jim, but couldn't see anyone else...) ALSO ALSO, trucker hat??!!??!?!?!?! Are bellysebby trying to be TRENDY or something. I blame momus, probably...

Sinister: anyone fancy a picnic?
by dafyd strange 10 Jul '03

10 Jul '03

hello there, This is going to be a very short concise posting about a picnic that will happen on Saturday July 19th at 2pm. Just before every trots off to the Trotwood for an evening of top musical entertainment at Tigermilking ( www.undermybed.org/tigermilking ). So yes the picnic, i think Primrose hill would be a good location as it seems to be a regular stomping ground for Sinister folk. I propose everyone meets at the big Cinema (i think its a UCI) on Camden Parkway just outiside Camden town tube station at 2pm. Then we can hike up to the Hill together and have some jolly japes. Remember to bring; food, Suntan lotion, booze & assorted summer type games. if you think you might go and are worried about getting lost or being killed by Goths as they're alot in Camden my mobile number is ; 07816280822 . Thank you & good night. daf __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!

Sinister: bangkok, oriental city, the creme de la creme.
by MyMomSays＠aol.com 09 Jul '03

09 Jul '03

I've been inspired by the double posting of David Hewitt to come out from my hiding place. Christine Irene has speculated that blogs have been tempting regular posters from sharing their thoughts to this list and I think I can speak with confidence when I say that is absolutely not true in my case. I do have a blog, but I neglect it, too. Poor fella! David's musings about dryer sheets and other laundry-oriented topics has made me long for the days when I, too, had loads of amenities at my disposal. Washing machine, dryer, dish washer, air conditioning.... those were the days. I took them for granted! Now I live practically amentity-FREE. I don't even have any WINDOWS! Well, I do, but they are tiny prison windows (not literally). I've found that at the weekends I often visit my sister's apartment or my parent's house so I can have full use of what a normal house feels like. Last weekend I spent it at my sister's apartment and I spent a full half an hour in her luxurious shower. I make it sound like I am squatting. I'm not, I just live in a tiny, low-rent apartment. In a basement. Everyone knows that only creepy-crawlies live in basements, which includes me. I'm everyone's favorite garden slug. So this has half been a summer wasting. I cannot believe we are sliding into the middle of July. About a year ago Juicy Lucy warned those of us in long-distance relationships that one of the two would eventually have to relocate to be with their honey. It sounds pretty fun to me! I am right now in the process of selling a lot of my crap. I have to move all my stuff back to my parents house in September and then try and figure out what I will take with me to England. My parents keep talking about how I have so many opportunities. Then my Dad asks me if I am treating my boyfriend nicely. I think my Dad worries that I verbally bash my boyfriend. Not so! I'm a kind, tender soul. It's kind of unfortunate that right when I will be moving, my band is just starting to get a following. Sorta. We played on the 4th of July and it was awesome. Let me just say that we did an amazing rendition of "We Built This City"; I accidentally sang "Cody plays the Mamba" instead of "Marconi plays the mamba" though. My sister convinced me I was thinking of Cousin Cody from TV's "Step By Step" - the television series that expired around 1992. I had the fun experience of receiving a fan letter a week ago. A story of mine has been published recently and apparently a reader loved my story so much he was inspired to write me a glowing e-mail. I was pretty touched. It's amazing how something like that can make your YEAR. I was pretty happy to see the return of The Lad 96.
