Sinister: la lutta continua
by Dirty Vicar 04 Jul '03

04 Jul '03

HELLO SINISTER, HOW ARE YOU FEELING? yes, I am in full on rock festival mode, having just got back from that Glastonbury thing. One amusing thing about the way the world has moved into a post-ironic stage is that bands are no longer apologetic about shouting from the stage things like "HELLO GLASTONBERRY, MAKE SOME NOISE Y'ALL!". Last year bands (viz Belle & Sebastian) would find ironic ways of doing that, but now they just jump right in. RoXoR. I saw quite a few bands at the festival. Primal Scream were the best. They rocked hard. some years previously a friend remarked that Primal Scream are boosting their claim to be the great band of our times by absorbing cast-off members of other great bands. Seeing Mani and Kevin Shields in full effect with Bobby, Andy, Throb et al. I felt I knew what he meant. Also G*R*A*T*E were the Kings Of Leon. They were also kind of funny, because with their outlandish hairstyles, comedic facial hair, incomprehensible Boomhauer accents, and unreconstructed Southern rock, it was like they had been beamed forward in time from the early '70s. I also liked many other bands and artists, but feel a special mention must go to Rodrigo y Gabriela, who are the greatest guitarists the world has ever seen. I also liked when the local vicar said a few words from the Pyramid stage on sunday. I had to admire his technique. There was a Sinister meetup on Thursday. Actually it seemed like it was primarily an ILXOR meetup, but that didn't stop the more shy and retiring of us from coming along. I had a great cross-purposes conversation where I was introduced to a chap called Mark, and I thought he was Mark C. (of Boy In Corduroy fame) and I had this long in depth conversation with him, only gradually realising he was someone else entirely. If you are this person could you make yourself known to me? I also chatted to Carsmile Steve, Robin Stout, & Amy Skelton. At least that's who I think they were. Later in the weekend I got to meet K*e*n C*h*u. He was top. It was funny, when earlier in the day I mentioned Sinister to someone they said "Sinister... does that pykachu100(a)deletethisbithotmail.com guy still post there?" This proves that Ken is the default Sinister poster, surely something to be proud of. I gather there were loads of other Sinister people at Glastonbury, but I'm not sure if I met them. And now I must go away and write stuff. bless you all, DV +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Belle and Sebastian, in the studio..
by robin stout 04 Jul '03

04 Jul '03

Terry thinks Belle and Sebastian are writing songs for him. They are, Terry.. Three. A steady trickle of information about the new Belle and Sebastian album has been coming through the holes in the Banchory beachball in recent weeks. Several more diary entries (Stuart, thanks for these - they brighten up my mornings:)), an interview by a certain girl and some whispers from people who know people have led me to put together this little list of What We Know. I'd like to pretend it's a scoop, but to be honest anyone could have done the same if they just left the washing up for a night and rode on the infobahn for a while. It's not as soft on the fingers, but a lot more fun. Here we go: **Album Titles** (diary entry 20 June) Schroedinger's Cat Nazi Sinatra If You're Going To Get Caught For Stealing A Horse, You Might As Well Shag It If Your Gran Had Baws She'd Be Your Grandad I'm Allright, Jack I'm Allright, Jane Ken Dodd's Dad's Dog's Dead Wanker's Forest Hmm, the smart money's on the third one, but I don't think it'll be any of these, somehow. Didn't Ken have a secret formula for working out album titles? **Song Titles** Definite Album Tracks (mentioned in 27 June diary entry) You Don't Send Me Roy Walker I'm A Cuckoo Step Into My Office, Baby Dear Catastrophe Waitress [hmm, sounds a little familiar..] If She Wants Me **Other Recent Unreleased Tracks** If You Find Yourself Caught In Love Travelling light (My Girls Got) Miraculous Technique Shoot the Sexual Athlete The Magic of a Kind Word Nothing in the Silence Wrapped Up In Books Love On The March Desperation Made A Fool Of Me Sleep on a Sunbeam Also, there was a little mention of Lord Anthony in one of Stuart's recent diary entries. I hope it's on more than just his mind and makes it onto the album or an ep. They recorded a version of it ages ago, if I remember properly. If anyone knows anymore, be sure to tell us. Speculation, gossip, rumours, lies - that's the stuff. I'm sure certain people can tell me what I've got wrong. I like a lot of stuff in the diary entries. I like all the stuff about God and love and quantum physics. Subjects close to my heart. It's what we're made of, after all.

Sinister: I heard you let him touch too much, on the back seat of the bus..
by robin stout 04 Jul '03

04 Jul '03

Two. I'm trying to work out a way of taking a photograph of someone without them noticing. You see, the man who drives the number thirty bus looks just like Johnny Cash. It's uncanny. The first time I saw him, I'd been reading Harry Potter in the bus shelter and had it in my hand when I climbed on the bus. He eyed me up as I climbed in. His grizzled chin hardened. "Harry Potter?", he asked. "Erm, yes", I replied, slightly embarrassed. "Get off the bus." "But I've got a ticket." A shadow ran across his tanned face, like a high cloud over the Texan plain. The hollows in his cheeks deepened. He felt around for his gun, but found only a gearstick and a ticket machine. "Well..", he said. He let me on. I sat at the back and kept my book closed the whole way home. I know you have stalked people before. I saw you behind that bush that one time; you were only pretending to tie your shoelace, don't pretend. So perhaps you could give me a tip or two. Of course I could always just ask him for a photograph, but he's still got that gun-barrel glint in his eye, and I don't think I'd like to risk it. The number thirty is a good place for lookalikes. There's a woman who catches it every morning who looks so much like Jarvis Cocker that I convinced myself for a while that she was actually his sister. Turns out she's not, of course; I had a sneaky look at her bus pass and it said her name's Oborsky.

Sinister: We're gonna rock at the government centre
by robin stout 04 Jul '03

04 Jul '03

One. The week has been spent nursing sore feet and a sunburt nose - the only bad things to come from camping in a field in Pilton for a weekend. Everything else about Glastonbury was simply perfect, even the toilets, which were a strangely liberating experience. My best moments included the Flaming Lips concert, seeing the Furries instead of Radiohead, where we had a fight with a man dressed as a dalmation dog, singing songs with the pesky fire wardens, and a whole host of experiences that can only be described as spiritual - none of which involved hippies or stone circles. The best thing, though, was all the people I knew there, including lots of YOU. Steve, Amy, Mark, Ian, Ian, Rener, Sarah, Lixi, and lots of others I'm sure. It was lovely to see you all, even though I seemed to lose people more often than I met them. The festival beard came off this morning, although I was hoping to keep it as a souvenir. I had to look my best for a meeting about a possible TV appearance on a new show called Innovation Nation. I'm trying to get a part as the man who turns the handle on our official stamping machine. Oh the excitement!! Recently, I've been arriving in the office to find that someone's changed the letters on the nameplate next to my door, a la Fawlty Towers. The other week I came in to find that I was called Bison Trout, and today I am Robot Unit. It's all very mysterious. I've been trying to work out who the culprit is for ages, so I can make a citizen's arrest. I *am* a fire warden, you know.

Sinister: fair suck of the sav
by David Hewitt 04 Jul '03

04 Jul '03

G'day all. Terry Underwear (if that IS his real name...) said: "I hope my clothes dry in time, else I'll be forced to use the environmentally unfriendly dryer." Embrace the dryer. It is your friend. Admittedly, I live in a second-floor flat without a balcony or courtyard, so I have no choice in the matter, but seriously, clothesdryers are one of the things that keep us civilised. I once tried to dry some towels outside, and when I brought them in I had to get them wet again before folding them, as I felt sure they'd snap if I attempted it dry. Then, when I stepped out of the shower, and reached for a towel to dry myself with, I scraped off almost an entire butt-cheek in my dazed, half-awake state, before I realised that my usually soft and fluffy towel had been transformed into a giant piece of sandpaper. Did you know that in the US they even have these little cloths that you put in the dryer, to make your clothes even softer and more fluffy than the dryer can manage on its own? Why on earth we don't have them here, I've no idea. We also don't have margarine in sticks - only in blocks or tubs (much to the annoyance of my American missus). They don't have Tim Tams over there, though, so I guess it evens out. Anyway: embrace the dryer, I say again to you, and let it rain! Then he said: "I have a strange sense of national pride building, and the reason for it is one Mark Philippoussis." Admittedly, it's part of the Australian persona to be almost ashamed and apologetic for being Australian. Our culture, accent, history - everything embarrasses us. I'm not entirely sure why this is, as the more I travel, the more I realise how wonderful a place this truly is, and how a lot of other countries acknowledge this far more readily than we do. It's strange how sporting achievements seem to be the only acceptable cause for national pride for most people. Bung a couple of snags on the barbie and sink a tinny for me, ya beautiful bastard. Being an Aussie is fuckin' grouse. Although I take no interest in tennis whatsoever, I do have to admit to also having been a bit caught up in the Poo's progress, since the wife's been staying up and watching it while I've been trying to sleep. I've taken to shouting 'carn the Poo!' at the screen at random intervals, which worries me somewhat. Normally the only thing that makes me shout at the telly is Neighbours. "Give Darcy the chair! The CHAIR, I say!" He also said something about Belle and Sebastian, but what have they done for us lately, eh? Eh? ... That's what I thought. Anyway, I only really posted to piddle away part of the last hour's work for the week, and to voice my support for the humble clothesdryer - perhaps the most misunderstood and underappreciated of all the domestic appliances (except perhaps the tiny but mighty 'fuzz wuzzy', but that's a topic for another day). Still, the list's been rather quiet, so you can probably deal with the occasional rubbishy bit of fluff like this. Oh, there was another reason: Happy 4th of July, Seppos! Independence and all that must be a wonderful thing. Maybe we need to give the Queen a gold watch or something*, and thank her for her time, but tell her that there really isn't much left for her to do down here. Then maybe we could have barbies and fireworks and all that stuff in the middle of the year. I'm not a remotely politically informed person, but I'm pretty sure there couldn't be too much harm in it. Plus, I reckon we could also do with one of those first amendment thingies. Still, all in good time, I suppose. The tennis is on, for one thing ;) Bulk love, -Vanilla Flavoured David *I'd say 'carriage clock', and try to be all clever, except I'm not entirely sure I know what one is. _________________________________________________________________ Hot chart ringtones and polyphonics.

Sinister: It's a nice day for drying
by terry underwear 04 Jul '03

04 Jul '03

hello, Rain Washing Against The Lonely Tenement After an unprecedented number of days rained in a row here in Perth the sun has finally decided to rear its delightful head. it is going to rain later on today so I hope my clothes dry in time, else I'll be forced to use the environmentally unfriendly dryer. Sebastian You're In A Mess I have a strange sense of national pride building, and the reason for it is one Mark Philippoussis. Most other Australian sportspeople make me cringe, but I think the Poo is ace. His next opponent is Sebastian Grosjean, who for content reasons I would normally support. Not this time though. Play Me A Song To Set Me Free Listening to IYFS never ceases to amaze me and make me smile. I always think "fuck, this is the greatest record I am ever likely to hear". It almost feels like the songs were written for me, like the band were going "Terry would like a bit of trumpet there I think" or "Terry would be oh so delighted if we used a recorder in this song" or "Oh your terry underwear". Is that the greatest compliment an artist can get, that someone feels like the song/poem/painting was made just for them? I know the sole aim of my songwriting is to write songs that make me happy, so I guess the logical conclusion is that everyone is writing songs to make me happy. hmmm, seems a lot of people don't really know me very well then. enough of this nonsense. love, terry PS - oz tape x-changers, I am getting things oraganised and you'll all be getting emails with your lucky recipient soon. probably sunday. --- here's what i think: http://naivetysucceeds.blogspot.com caitlin and terry's sinister recipe tree archives: http://www.joannou.net/topofthestairs/sinifood/ ____________________________________________________________ Get advanced SPAM filtering on Webmail or POP Mail ...

Sinister: A Summer Wasting
by Jay Eckard 02 Jul '03

02 Jul '03

SInisterines... I rather distinctly remember writing a little post this time last year about How Damn Hot It Was. Not really much of a repeat year, as it seems determined to rain at least 80% of the time. Not that I'm complaing: the rain makes a pleasing sound as it hits the magnolia leaves just outside my bedroom window. It's all Romantic, you know, A Year Without Summer. It makes me want to take to writing novels based on dreams in Swiss chateaux. I've been quite busy not being bust at all the past little bit. My friend and a notable Left-Handed person, Eric Cheesybun, came down for a few days. I used this as an opportunity to drive him around North Carolina. To further cement this as a Sinister experience, we went to go visit Laura Llew the very night she was selling (shilling) the new Harry Potter book. I was excited to see her in action when the crowds got ROWDY. There was counter-thumping and raised voices: *thump on the sales counter* "You'll all have to SETTLE DOWN NOW or my Bookstore Boy will Toss you out on the street!" It was like seeing a wild horse bucking against some noble Western background or an eagle swooping down on a fish. Very bracing. Unfortunately, prompt at 1 am, the said BookStore Boy (read Mook) tossed even us out into Main Street Easley. Llew takes no sass from nobody. On our drive home, Eric and I experienced the further granduer of the two way Interstate Highway exit. Yes, the onramp and off ramp were the same thing, so we saw a little Ford Escort plunging towards us at 60 mph. This was 4 in the morning. We had other various exploits: deer-dodging and wandering lost and Delaware Diners. But. I have a point. Now, because of an offer I made in driving up to New York next month to see the Belle and Sebastion show, many people have written asking me about meet ups. *pulls out a map, a wooden pointer and a picture* *slaps the map with pointer HERE* This is Durham, NC where I live. *slaps the map with pointer THERE* This is New York City, New York, some 800 miles away. I do not live there. In fact, I've only been there once or twice. *shows picture* This is a picture of me, soaking wet and shivering, in boots and a leather car coat, back when my hair was long and shaggy. You can see the rain dripping off me and steam coming from me in the cold. If you look closely, you can see lots of closed shops in the cityscape behind. It's New Years Day in Manhattan. There are two people running briskly away in the extreme left of the picture and a blurry Llew-like person in the foreground who is marginally drier. This is the extent of my knowledge of New York, so maybe somebody who lives there/knows the place will suggest some manner of plan for a meet up. Cause if no-one else does, I'll make plans based on my extremely sketchy knowledge: we can meet up Across 110th Street, then go down to see the Luckiest Guy on the Lower East Side, but I Don't Want to Go to Chelsea beacause New York is Like a Graveyard. Yeah New York.* Yours, Jay *These directions brough to you by Bobby Womack, the Magnetic Fields, Elvis Costello, the Moldy Peaches and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. -- "The Posby falls into a Trance In which it does a little Dance."

Sinister: cussing just to waste time
by s. lord 01 Jul '03

01 Jul '03

my inbox hasn't been quite so full lately - usually i can count on atleast three sinister posts a day or something closely resembling that - but lately it has gotten quiet - perhaps it is the sign of life in the form of new shows that has fellow sinisterines spending more time at their jobs trying to make that last minute dollar to spend on gas, airfare or lodging - whatever the case it has become quite - so i decided to post - not really that i have much to speak about - or really anything that people will be interested in - but i figured - i might as well - i have a few hours to waste before i go to work and deal with my kids - so i might as well spend them pleasantly - so i guess i should talk about my new problem with profanity so i got a new job - i graduated in may - *yea for me i rock* - and now i have a job working as a counselor for trouble youth in iowa - really you think iowa sounds like a peaceful place - lots of farms and fields - what's the most trouble you could find here - well actually i don't work with any kids from iowa - funny - they ship them into iowa from other places and then let us deal with them - oh well i guess - some one has to - but really the funniest thing is that most of the kids use vulgar language as a coping skill - when someone makes them mad - a furious round of profanity shoots out of their mouths - it is really something - i have to hold my laughter every time i hear it - most of the time it never makes sense at all - just any cuss word they can think of - and use it in succession about three times before moving on to another cuss work - oh god it is great - and this happens at least 20 times in a 9 hour period - oh......i think it seems to make the day go by faster - of course there is a down fall of this - which is " I " am now using tons more profanity - not that i didn't use my fair share before - but now everything is f**k this and f**k that - just yesterday my mom called me and told me that someone in town that i barely knew died - how did i respond to this - well by sayin "no f**kin way!" - which was completely uncalled for and sent my mother into a tizzy which led me to hang up on her - so i now am cussing all the time - to whoever i want - its unconscious - i can't stop - i can honestly say that i have learned it all from my children - how sweet is that - well that is all for now - love to everyone - --scott www.sevisdrol.blogspot.com ------------------------------------------------------ what we place most hopes upon, generally proves most fatal - vicar of wakefield _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 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.

None

I wonder if it's a compromise of security that most of my internet passwords are various amalgams of phrases I think I've heard in "A Century of Elvis..." Though I think they would be nearly impossible to for a hacker to deduce, as I have heard almost complete nonsense across the board in that song (until, of course, I found the lyrics, as one is wont to do when they look for things like lyrics to a song). A LURKER POSTING ... Which is a lot like A Summer Wasting, only without the Summer and the Wasting parts, but more with the lurker and the posting instead. Hello, regular posters. I tend to not be one of you. But I am noticing two things (I say as if I think others have no noticed, but to think that would be to prove myself an idiot): #1. There are a lot of new posters on here. And #2. Where is everyone on the eastern U.S. coast who is NOT in New York? Not to exclude the New England crowd, but we already know where you are and you get to have picknicks. Those extra K's look absolutely ridiculous. I WANT PICNICS INSTEAD OF EXTRA Ks Not to break the train of thought from the last paragraph (but aren't these so much more fun to read when they're broken apart, like when Mom used to cut your hot dog so you could eat it with your fingers?)... but here's the thing about me and this post -- It is a cry for help. Not the 12-step kind or even the 3-step kind or even the screw-it-and-pick-up-another-bottle-of-Southern-Comfort kind of help, but the "If you are a Sinisteree on the Mid-Atlantic Seaboard of the U.S., put your hands in the air and wave 'em like you just don't care" kind of help. But without the waving of the hands and more of the typing-a-post-to-Sinister. LOOK, ANOTHER POINTLESS SUBHEADER Basically, I'm in the DC/Baltimore Metro area and with this whole get-together craze sweeping the list in places like Elsewhere-But-Here, I feel left out of the fun. And since I am not one to invite myself to far-away places not because of antisocial tendencies but more because I have no money, then I'm going to have to create the fun here. Anyone else interested? Feel free to respond with gathering locale suggestions or just a response to my call for a head count; if you want to email me directly, go right ahead, but please include "Sinister" in the subject line or I'll delete you immediately (nothing personal, of course, but those pesky porn emails are really beginning to chafe...). Well that was a poor choice of words... IN THE GRAND TRADITION OF A CENTURY OF LURKERS ... And back I go to the lurking. I've been doing it for nearly three years here... feels like home. :) Thanks for letting me ramble a bit. Also... more thanks. ~ Kim _________________________________________________________________ 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.
