Sinister: PEDIGREE CHUM WITH GRAVY CHUNK
by robin stout 12 Oct '04

12 Oct '04

Hallo, I have been meaning to write to you, oh dashing Sinister one, for such a long while. You see, while you have been off in the hills, standing in the stirrups and squinting through your pocket telescope, I have been writing a Sinister post. The trouble is that I began writing it so long ago, and have got through so many quills and sealing wax during the course of it, that it's all become completely out of date. I once had a conversation with one of you which went something like: Him: How do you decide which posts to read and which ones not to read? Me: Oh if I see it in my inbox and it's over five kilobytes big then I just delete it. Him: Oh. Mine are always over five kilobytes. Me: I see. Who are you again? But, fearless chums, I am afraid that I have become rather rambling myself of late, presumably due to deterioration of the brane, and am as much likely to commit the shameful sin of writing too much as anyone else. So, I have today decided to be succinct. MY SINISTER WEEK BY ROBIN STOUT 1. The other day I went into the cafe, and ordered some lovely hot chocolate from the australian girl who works there. She was squinting into the sun, which had settled on a rooftop over the street, so I positioned my fat head in front of it, forming a total eclipse of the head, if you like, and shielding her from the hazardous rays. I stood there for quite a while, and as I did so it dawned on me that she was wearing an upside-down badge belonging to a certain Glaswegian band. I thought of saying something like, "Cripes, your badge is upside down! That's rather sinister!", but then I thought better of it. 2. On Sunday, I was in Birmingham the land of the beautiful and free, and who should I run into buying haircare products but our own dear Ian Anscombe! It was quite a turn up for the books, I can tell you. I told him I usually buy the styling cream for straight hair. I presume he bought the one for gay hair instead. 3. On the way to work this morning we passed a Reliant Robin, a green one, which was driven by an old chap. In the window was a humourous sticker which said "My dick isn't the wrong size - I was supposed to have been born a dwarf".

Mmmmm Autuuuuuum. The Fall. I love the season because I can wear makeup again. Lipgloss doesn't melt off. Eyeshadow doesn't mix with sweat and run into your eye. Today it was face powder with black glitter liquid eyeliner and tinted nude lip balm. You can wear your nice clothes again. It's the season for making out as eveyone looks fab in their stylee clothes but after all the goal is to get under all that stylee clothing. Mworw. Yeah, the Fall fucking represents. Both the season and the band. Sparta FC anyone? We live on blood indeed. Yeah when i was in high school, make that prep school; we had a Field Day at the end of the year. It was Hell On Earth. The school was divided into two teams, the Athenians and the Spartans. The Spartans won every year as they wore all red. Y'know how red make you excited. Like a field of bulls acting out Lord of the Flies. The Athenians wore all white. I was always the on Athenian team. I think that all those who were crap at sports were made Athenians. I enjoyed sports that were not Dumb As Shit, but I was still crap at them. As I am now too. I played badminton with the MunicipalWaste/VCR crew the other month. It was Fun As Hell. But as I am me, I am crap at actually hitting the birdie. One of my teammates, a crusty punk with big dreads and a studded belt and the patch vest got all pissy cause, in his eyes I was making the team lose. Fucking loser go put your braided belt and pleated khakis back on you fucking jock. In a moment of What The Fuck, I ended up hit the winning stroke. Nyah nyah. One year at Field Day, I think I was 14, with the permisison of one teacher, I wore a white rock T (The Creatures tour T) inside out. The Latin teacher said she didn't care what the english Teacher said, it was not allowed. So what I did as punishment, was scrub desks with scouring bleach poder for the whole fucking day. I am so glad to 30 and not 14. Are you like me? Are you amazed you survived high school? Seems all the folx who are amazed they survived high school are the amazing leaders, artists, musicans, writers and bitches who are generally ruling the joint. So kids, what have you been doing? Me, I've been dancing, arting, working. Working a ridiculous job involving lots and lots of hours doing loads and loads of spreadsheets. And getting paid. I'm not getting PAAAAAID, but getting paid at all is certainly better than not getting paid. And now I've got internet radio in my office. Hurray! I've been DJing more which has been fucking brilliant. Been xperimenting a lot with dub and beat destruction. It's nicer than you think. I have a hindi cover of Dancing Queen by ABBA which i layered 5 times on itself. And no I didn't do this live. I did it at home and jacked in my minidisc to the mixer. The melody and flow stayed but got tangled up together; the beat was oblitereted and the vocals were like a choir singing the same song at the same time in 5 differant languages. Yeeeahhhh. But I fuck up a bit too, sometimes you can call it glitchtronica. :-). The bit I tried with Freda Payne's Band Of Gold with dubbing a clean copy with a fucked copy, did not work due to fucked volume levels and fucked starting times. The goal was undulating dubby soul. D'oh! Now I have the decks at home so I can practice. Gasp! Shock! Practice! Yep. Practice practice practice. I've been showing my art and instigating a zine collective. Does anyone work in a record store or bookstore or club or infoshop etc. where we can send you zines for distro in your flyer or zine area. What we would send would not really be sold. We raise monmey so we can gie away our product. Most of what I do personally is not really sold anyway; I produce them cheap aka free enough to give away...the new issue is about siamese cats, friends, large bottles of malt liquor, orange juice, satan, the devil, the solstice and beltane. We're rvazines on livejournal (I'm on too if you wanna...I'm the same name as this email addy)...we have not updated this in a while...but we're fucking awesome anyway! Modest? Aw helllll no.

Sinister: the fall is my favorite ( the season not the band)
by leyda campbell 09 Oct '04

09 Oct '04

hello sinisters. i have to agree with katie, fall is the best time for shows. its my favorite time of year in general though. i love dressing all cozy and sipping cocktails while listening to records or watching a movie. its also a good time of year for makeing out since its chilly and everyone wants to leach some body heat. in two weeks the decemberists are coming here and i am so excited. if you haven't listened to them yet then go out and buy their records. it will be well worth it. the day after that mirah will be here too. yeah!! the arcade fire is on tour right now and im hoping that they will come to st. louis. they are one of my favorite bands right now. i am ordering each one of you to go out and buy their full lenghth album, listen to it all the way through and then i dare you not to tell me that their amazing. that's right, i dare you. and after you here their album, know that live, they are even more mind blowing. ok kittens, time for me to go. if there are any more cool shows that will be coming through the mid west, let me know. i think i'll eat then take a nap. xoxo, leyda _________________________________________________________________ On the road to retirement?

Hello Sinister, my baby. This weekend comes a change, my loves. Its no longer summer. I wasted it away, as usual. Granted, it has not been summer for a few weeks, but it is just beginning to feel that way. Its that my-look-at-the-colors! time or the i-finally-get-to-wear-sweaters! time or the damn-its-no-longer-brisk-its-cold! time.... Ah, autumn is my ultimate favorite season. Its full of things....Like my birthday, cartigans, no more sandals, cordoroy and concerts. I feel like there are better shows in fall than any other season. For instance, I went to see Found's Fifty State Tour and fell in love with Peter from the Magazine. That was the night Davy was on Late Night TV so I got his shy, totally my style mousey brother. Fits well with that I-can't-barely-get-the-guts type of brown bombshell that I am.... for those of you who don't know, check out www.foundmagazine.com ok, good. I also saw the Faint. To be honest, I dont wear enough makeup nor do I dance like a raver enough to even think about liking them, but whenthey played "Psyco Killer" by the Talking Heads, I died and went to heaven!!

Sinister: well hello again...
by Andy Capps 06 Oct '04

06 Oct '04

i just wanted to put in my two cents about renewing some life into #sinister again. but hey, i'm not really doing anything else at the moment, so i should be posting again. some shows are coming up in the now chilly realm of toronto, i might be going to them. i'm going to see a band called crackpuppy on friday night but that is a different story all together. nothing like going to a show with trannies, indie boys, and where hell's angels are allowed to wear their colours. rock on boys. hello again to all of you lovelies...and yes, anyone can post these days. etta is sadly not on my lap for this post. she now lives with her grandparents in a space much larger than i have now. add a large wheel and we'd be two gay hamsters in a small cage with a kitchen and a loo. the early bird get's the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese... }:> _________________________________________________________________ Take advantage of powerful junk e-mail filters built on patented Microsoft® SmartScreen Technology. http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht… Start enjoying all the benefits of MSN® Premium right now and get the first two months FREE*. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: the wages of sin are quite reasonable I assure you
by owen lowery 05 Oct '04

05 Oct '04

Well hello there my sinister chums I'm bored at work and thought I'd try posting, not sure if this is going to work as I haven't been receiving all of your posts lately, I'm suffering from sporadic sinister service syndrome or something. I was thinking the other day about an old teacher of mine who was a good Christian (oxymoron anybody?), he always used to say that if somebody burst into the room with a machine gun and threatened to kill him if he didn't denounce his faith then he hoped he would have the strength to tell the truth and acceptept being murdered. This got me wondering if there was any belief that I would rather stand up for and die rather than denouncing. Quite frankly there isn't, either I'm a coward or I just don't value my beliefs enough. Luckily I'm morally weak enough to not be bothered about this character flaw. Then a really scary thought struck me What if the gunman burst in and said he would kill me if I didn't let him leave with either my record collection or all of my books. Now the question gets interesting, no longer is it a life balanced against something as flimsy as a belief, but, two things vital to my continued happiness balanced against each other. How do you balance a life without Joy Division and B&S with a life without Ray Carver and Haruki Murakami? Can he not just take my girlfriend instead? In the end I suppose I would have to keep music and wave goodbye to literature, in the final analysis nothing I've read can move me as much as Love's Alone Again Or and nothing will mean as much to me as B&S's Expectations. I guess that that's why every now and then I delurk and write to you lot rather than a site for people who consider Haruki Murakami to be the greatest living writer (incidentally, in my humble opinion, he is). I guess that that's why you guys get to put up with my rubbish (or at least have to delete it) and I guess that one of the reasons that you do put up with posts like this is that you wouldn't be on sinister if music didn't mean so much to you too. So here's to music, we don't value it more than life, but I wouldn't give it up for any amount of money. love'n'hugs to all the poster formerly known as the narrow wizard so much depends upon a red wheel barrow glazed with rain water beside the white chickens (William Carlos Williams) Care2 Mail is new and improved - 100MB free storage! http://www.care2.com/go/z/100MB +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: farewells
by stacey dahling 01 Oct '04

01 Oct '04

I was just perusing my favourite media site desperately seeking jobs, when I spotted this and thought of all of you: "Get a bunch of journalists in a room and the chat can be deafening. Certainly, there was plenty animated conversation going on at the leaving party for former Sunday Herald editor, Andrew Jaspan, on his way to edit The Age newspaper in Australia. Stuart Murdoch and another Belle&Sebastianer had been asked to play a two-song acoustic set. But the noisy hack crowd were for none of it. Eventually, after on-stage pleas from former business ed, Kenny Kemp, the crowd quietened enough for the band to play. But by the start of the second song, the crowd were blethering so loudly, the pair simply walked off." Aww poor Stu. But what was he doing playing a party??? I knew he was friendly with folks at the newspaper, but who knew it was like that eh? Hmmm... And journalists! How rude! Ha! Ha ha ha So yeah. I'm just bitter because I'm jobless and being forced to leave this lovely lovely place to return to the pit of despair - a place with the misleading name of Providence. Eeks! I swear I am the unluckiest girl in the world. Just last week alone there were two job rejections, one car vandalism and a FIRE! Even simple tasks, like renewing my car tax, somehow turn into two-hour sagas involving long hikes and pleading and tears. Why can't anything ever be simple eh? I just tell myself it's all a big test, and that eventually I shall be rewarded. I only wish it were sooner rather than later. Anyway, I'm going to cut this short before it turns into a rambling mess. I hope you all are well. And behaving. *hugs* stacey _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?
