Sinister: Now she is a popstar, with her own TV show
by Mark Casarotto 13 Aug '03

13 Aug '03

Mmm Skyscraper took my name in vain, or rather took Talulah Gosh's name in vain. I couldn't actually figure out if it was a diss or not, but, y'know, being (affectedly) twee is just as bad as being a fake ANYTHING. If B&S make you want to commit fakery, then you're not listening to the same band (to coin a much loved inkie phrase). Bit anyway, Talulah Gosh? Apart from the name, they ain't twee. The eponymous single (best song of the 80s?) kicks so much arse, but more to the point, it's ANTI-TWEE. The Walter Mitty-esque protagonist is pitied but not tolerated in her little fantasy world. Maybe I feel that B&S, by and large, have a similar attitude. So, I'm drinking campari and watching football. Renaissance man or what? I've also been lamenting the void that is #sinister in the summer months. I hope all you ace posters are going to be back patronising our little chatroom when summer's over. "Patronising". A word I always feel is close to my heart. Toodle pip, Mark xxx ________________________________________________________________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends?

Sinister: Laura Llew's Lengthy Lamentations: Post The First
by Laura Llew 13 Aug '03

13 Aug '03

Markelby Minxed: "As for the hot pants, it's just scurrilous gossip on a slow-news day. They're perfectly innocent shorts, bought for $2 at a goodwill store in Denver, and they don't reveal anything they shouldn't. I'm not that kind of boy!" And on that sorrowful note, I shall now begin my Sinister Post of Lamentations. Lament 1:1 Bright Eyes opening for Belle & Sebastian? I met a sinisterine at a Bright Eyes show a few years ago. Afterwards, he made a pass at me in a cemetery. I'd be interested to see what would happen with a whole swarm of sinisterines after Bright Eyes played. Not interested enough to actually pay to see Bright Eyes play, mind you. However, those going to the Cali shows & picnics - considered yourself warned. Lament 1:2 I had heard from Sinister NY picnic mommy Eric that there wasn't a diluge of response to the announced Prospect Park picnic and was I going to shame you all into coming. I mean the Gayest of Jays will be there! Do you really want to miss your chance to meet a real life North Carolinian?! (Be warned, they bite.) However, since Aruni's picnic announcement just came in I'm thoroughly confused on what is happening. Will the two proposed picnics merge into one HUGE prospectful picniciking force or will there be a battle of the picnics - complete with food flinging and ant cheerleaders? If there's a fight, then I'm siding with Eric and Jay's picnic. They might be gay and might not know how to fight but at least all battle plans will be executed with style. Actually, I take that back. I hear GayJay wields a pretty mean foil. Personally, I just want an opportunity to yell, "Parry his flank!" in public. Heaven knows that my life already suffers seriously from absence of blade as it is. I just realized how smutty one can get with fencing terms so I looked up in a fencing glossary on-line all the terms which begine with L. Here's a choice few: La Belle, Low Line, Low Invitation, and Lunge. Fencing terms sum me up completely! Who would have thought it?! Lament 1:3 The other thing I'm looking forward to during the Llew Takes Manhattan 2003 spree next week is the fact that the DOROTHY PARKER festival will be taking place that weekend. Wheeeee! I think if anyone else is planning to be around that you should come if interested. (You can sign up at: http://www.dorothyparkernyc.com/) I know I will be there - eating lunch at the round table at the Algonquin, doing a walking tour of all of Parker's old haunts through Manhattan (naturally, there's a bar stop after each actual home or old employment site), watching excerpts from the play "Here Lies Dorothy Parker, etc. The only sad part is that I shan't be staying at least one night at the Algonquin (which is on my To Do Before I Die list) because it's too expensive even with the fact that they're giving a discount to those attending the festival. Friend: What do you have to do to get the Dorothy Parker discount? Commit suicide? Me: I believe you have to sleep with all the males on the staff. Good thing she wasn't bi-sexual or you'd really be tired by the time you went to bed that night. I tried to get someone to split the costs of the room with me but I think my warning that I'd probably end up hitting on them scared them away. Tsk, tsk. Her name was Llew but they all called her Llewse, Ll PS - Is there anyone in the New York area who would let a nice soft sinister crash on their couch/floor/dry porch for any night on the beginning of next week (Monday - Thursday)? Obviously since I used the word "nice" I'm not referring to but I can vouch for them and am scrambling to find inexpensive places for people I know who will be up there. _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

Sinister: fairytale of new york (picnic)
by Aruni J 13 Aug '03

13 Aug '03

Hello Sinister! Long time, no communication from me whatsoever. I'm almost done with my second year of medical school now, "almost" being the operative word. Still, August, and a young girl's thoughts turn to picnics in Prospect Park... Over on the Bowlie boards, there have been significant rumblings of a picnic. A picnic? Yes, a picnic. Where: Prospect Park, outside the Picnic House, with all the picnic tables. Go here for a map: http://www.prospectpark.org/general/main.cfm?target=map . Or just head to Brooklyn and follow the trail of badges and record sleeves. When: Tuesday August 19 from 2pm until we all become too antsy and feel the need to wait on line for our seats. Bring food for yourself or to share if you wish, or get it there. Based on prior experience, it should be a rockin', lockin' time. :) If you need more info, feel free to email me. I hope to see you there! love, aruni PS Mark, you rock star, hanging out with Fred Thomas and the band! I remember Anna to the Infinite Power, the book. I had no idea there was a movie. _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

Sinister: clear canasta twee wet dress
by mmm skyscraper 13 Aug '03

13 Aug '03

Hi Sinister This time last week I drove just over 500 miles to Tampa, Florida for a very small Sinister meetup with a lovely individual named Michelle. We went to see Saturday Looks Good To Me, an amazing band the I highly recommend to anyone who has not heard of them. Their was another guy from Sinister at the show, shout out to him if he's reading this. After the concert Michelle talked the band into staying at her place. I talked to the lead guy who was very cool and then we drunkenly watched 'I'm Trying to Break Your Heart'. I fell asleep around 4 and woke up as the band was leaving. Michelle was a bit out of it, so I watched this very strange movie on Showtime called 'Anna to the Infinite Power'. One of the guys in it remeinded me of Stuart. I was listening to Grandaddy's 'Sumday' and later Royksopp's 'Melody A.M.' as I watched it, so that made it even weirder. Overall it was a fun little meetup. It's nice to see a post from Gillian. If you're feeling twee, Go and see Mark C You're probably better off listening to Talulah Gosh. I hope everyone has a good time at the upcoming shows and picnics. I wonder how long it will take for the treasure hunt clues to be posted this time around. Cheers, mmm skyscraper (Mark) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Sinister: b&s LA show: want ticket?
by Liqin Lu 12 Aug '03

12 Aug '03

Hi List! This is my first post since re-joining and I'm using it to sell b&s ticket...what a fan! But I must risk being deported from the list and try to sell it becuz I'm really short on money and I know someone on the list who doesn't have a ticket yet and might still want to see the LA show would hate to see a seat in section A get wasted. I'm sure its location is better than any seats u could get now on Ticketmaster.com. I paid the regular price online and I'm only asking the exact amount back. If you're interested please email me, and I will email you the e-ticket (you'll have to print it out yourself). I would go to the show if I was still in LA, but it seems I never get to be there when something's happening...

Sinister: It's all greek to me! (California pre-show meet up info)
by Ben Apps 12 Aug '03

12 Aug '03

Hello hello, So the shows are coming up and I want to invite anyone going to the Los Angeles Gig on the 24th to join in a pre-show picnic in Griffith Park. There's a nice large patch of grass on the left just up the hill past the Greek Theatre. I'll be there with the missus, and a fellow sinisterine, Adrian, from around 4:30pm. We'll be eating, drinking, excitedly discussing the new album, comparing treasure hunt clue searching stories and maybe even indulging in a spot of cricket. If it sounds like fun to you drop me an email off list or just turn up! Two days before that we'll be traveling up to Berkeley for the show at the um, Greek Theatre! If I ask really nicely and say pretty pretty please with sugar on top, will some diamond of a bay area listee arrange a similar shindig? Awww go on! Aren't these: http://www.banchoryshop.net/viewitem.asp?id=3D1019 really grate?
