Sinister: Sinister Christmas Present Exchange: Deadline Tuesday November 30th
by grainne lynch 23 Nov '04

23 Nov '04

Hello boys and girls, I am here to announce the Sinister Christmas Present Exchange! Usually the lovely Laura Llew does this, or she has for the last 3 or 4 years, but she's very kindly given me a turn this year. It's my first time, so fingers crossed that it all goes well! For people who know all about the Exchange, if you want to take part send me - g.lynch(a)mailcity.com - all your information before November 30th, which is next Tuesday. And I will get back to you with your exchange partners by Dec 3rd. Send me; *Your Name *Your Email Address *Your Full Address (of where you will be at Christmas time) * The number of presents you would like to send out (since it will correspond with the presents you will receive) * Whether you have a preference of sending to someone inside your country or not, since foreign postage can be expensive. If geography makes no difference, then there's no need to mention anything. However, please note that this only works if you live in a place where there will most likely be lots of other Sinisters. I hate to break your heart but you're probably the only one on here in Antarctica. *Please, please, please put "Sinister Christmas Present Exchange" (or something to that effect) in the subject line. It will make everything so much easier! As soon as I get your information, I will send an e-mail back to you so you know that you been added to the exchange. If you don't get an e-mail back from me, you'll know something has gone wrong and you need to send it again. For those that are new to the Sinister Christmas Present Exchange (though the name is pretty self-explanatory!): 1. This is just for those who wish to participate. It is by no means required nor are there any requirements - meaning you can still be in the nursery, only flit around in #sinister, or be embittered and wasting away in ILX all the time and have just in a moment of nostalgia and dementia tainted haze have wandered back to your ole' stomping ground. However, only sign up if you intend to participate. If you sign up and don't send anything, there will be some very sad Sinister types on Christmas morning, and we don't want that. 2. You don't have to celebrate Christmas to take part. Everybody is welcome. 3. It's up to you want kind of gift you send, it can be something you've made, a favourite book or the Llew's favourite chocolate-covered boy. According to Laura's e-mail, the only rule is "As long as it adheres to the postal code and doesn't involve bodily fluids, I think we'll all be happy". I remember putting a lot of glitter on my presents one year, which was vaguely encouraged by Miss Maddie Minx and I think there is still little pieces of glitter on my bedroom floor. So, I wouldn't really recommend that, although it was fun! I think I left glittery foot-prints through out the house. So to recap - the Exchange is open to everyone, you can send anything except bodily fluids and don't sign up if you don't think you will be able to get a present in the post in time for Christmas. Deadline is November 30th and I will have you all partnered up soon after that. I've never done this before, I don't know how long it will take, but everyone will get a e-mail telling them who they are sending gifts to by Dec 3rd. I think that's it. Email me if you have any questions. Grainne. PS It's been so long since I emailed Sinister that I couldn't remember the address! -- _______________________________________________ Find what you are looking for with the Lycos Yellow Pages http://r.lycos.com/r/yp_emailfooter/http://yellowpages.lycos.com/default.as… +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Funny Murdoch Pics/ Gig this Friday
by christopher.leonard1＠ntlworld.com 23 Nov '04

23 Nov '04

Hello Sinister, I was rummaging for things to sell and I found some Murdoch Propaganda from the time that he was standing for election as Glasgow Uni Rector. If you are I, you find these rather amusing. SEE: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/christopher.leonard1/images/murdoch1.jpg and http://homepage.ntlworld.com/christopher.leonard1/images/murdoch2.jpg The other day Lucy said: " the other big attraction was singist Ally Kerr, and his terrific axe man Mr Chris Leonard. They were very good, but their set was too short. But they were on first, so thats the way of things." Yes, that is the way of things, but ta muchly for the nice comments. BUT we will be playing a full length set this Friday at the 13th Note Cafe in Glasgow. If you live in Glasgow and you like Belle and Sebastian you may well enjoy this music - perhaps before going to the NPL? Eh? You can look at Ally's fancy site at http://www.allykerr.com . Support comes from the superb St Jude's Infirmary (from Embra) and the guitartastic SAL (from Aberdeen). It is highly likely that the Diamond will be there too, with his funny beard! And you can look at my dog, Bailey here: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/christopher.leonard1/images/gallery/bailey1.jpg I trust you are well, Chris ============================ http://www.sleekasounds.com ----------------------------------------- Email provided by http://www.ntlhome.com/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Oh come emmanuel

Help me. Now, if you've read any of my previous posts, you may have noticed I have a penchant for the twee side of pop. My roots are in the 80s, with the Darling Buds and Tallulah Gosh, but I've been enjoying newer choons, from Camera Obscura and Isobel Campbell as well. It's coming up to Christmas, and the lucky ones amongst us will be receiving presents. I've been asked to make a list of what I'd like, and, well I'd like some new music like the stuff I've mentioned above. Pay attention now, this is your bit - can you suggest any CD's I should put on my list that would fall into the bracket of the stuff I like? Any good films too?

Sinister: He was a fortune teller
by Katia913＠aol.com 22 Nov '04

22 Nov '04

Sinister, mi amore majore! For the past few days and weeks, I have been dying for a break to come home, sleep some decent hours and catch up on my reading. Now that my Thanksgiving break, a week off, has come....I am not so interested in it. Why wouldnt't I want the bustle of shopping for friends and the crispness of leaves underfoot? Because I am in love. I met him on Halloween. Ran into him at the Mates of State show. Now he is almost mine. His name is Frederick. The first tall man I have been able to find with curly dish water hair. He is gorgeous in a red turtleneck and blue asics tigers. And dont get me started on the music. Thursday he picked me up because it was raining. We drove to his house, far away from campus by the faregrounds, a large house with three other boys. He is going to be mine. We watched Wet Hot American Summer and talked about music and design until two am. His living room is full of books and has exposed rafters. And he thinks I am beautiful. For the first time since I have been away, I have met someone who can introduce me to music, someone who knows more than I. Hes more well read. He adores Belle and Sebastian and Tom Robbins, my passions. I have a new band to lust over, The Concretes. I'm all fluttery inside! Love Kate +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: with your newfound love of neu and pad thai
by rrrrobyn 22 Nov '04

22 Nov '04

periodically, elements: since last we spoke, sinister, i have not managed to unlearn how to read. in fact, i have learned whole bunches of new words, some of which may or may not be made up. of letters or non-letters. i also found a pink raincoat, 60s style. that totally goes with my pink mini-skirt suit, 60s style. totally. goes. reporting back (now with informative sub-headings): between 'responsibilities', 'unresponsibilities', and growing my hair, i've been to see shows, entertainments, flashing lights and on-stage sweating. - the dirtbombs: wow! whoa! yes! two drumkits (and two drummers)! spasmodical robotic dancing girl guitarist! mick collins! leg kicking to punctuate guitar riffing! it hurt me, how real and good it was. - julie doiron/damien jurado/rosie thomas: this was lovely. i love julie. she makes you love things. everything seems warmer when she sings. the world is a nicer place. i'm cheesy, but it fits. and it was a cold night. everyone seemed to be wearing nice scarves. - le tigre/lesbians on ectasy/les georges leningrad: let me begin with this: check out my awesome green les georges leningrad t-shirt! it fits like a glove, is soft like fake-fur kittens, and on it is a white drawing of a bat carrying a severed head! *and* it's a non-musical material representation of one of the most bizarre and entertaining (in a watching-your-8th-grade-math-teacher-get-attacked-by-bees kind of way) bands around. so, y'know, t-shirt! lesbians on ectasy is a montreal band as well, with a definite e-energy vibe goin' awn - dance-y, electro-y, fun-y. and le tigre, well, i mean, LE TIGRE. matching outfits, motown style (y'know, same fabric, but kathleen's got a strapless minidress, johanna's got a dress with sleeves and an a-line, and jd's got a button-up shirt and pants. rad.) old songs, a few new songs (which were goood), synchronized dance moves, and a fancy way of following a set list (computers! graphic interfaces! etc.) i was happy. (for 5 minutes early on i was unhappy b/c a crew of goonish indie men began to 'mosh' near the front, causing some annoyance. especially when some pulled out, i kid you not, digicams. i'm just, like, er, do you not listen to lyrics? please put away your collector/capturer personas for an hour and be decent. i'm an asshole. no. i'm decidely not. i just hold le tigre near and dear.) so: always good to see le tigre, feel like you can do anything you set your mind to (it's true-oooo!), and dance like a maniac to 'deceptacon'. when buses strike back: holy crap, there's a bus/metro strike on in montreal. how am i supposed to achieve a nice, protective layer of fat for the winter months when i have to do all this walking and cycling everywhere? criminal. i guess i need to drink more beer. while walking and cycling. just all the time really. oh, and eat chocolate. see, i know my fat-making abilities and those two things will do it for sure. remember back when thespark.com had a 'gain x number of pounds in x number of days' contest? i would have kicked ass in that by eating beer and candy alone. and not walking or cycling anywhere. when i see hot pink graffiti, i say that's the graffiti for me: before the bus strike, i saw some pink graffiti in a metro stn on a billboard. it was in that graffiti language i'm not cool enough to understand, but i think it was along the lines of 'rraaarr, we write graffiti! now go and write an essay about it somewhere you silly little academic wad!' haha, aw, pink graffiti. visit montreal, i will try not to be too weird: helen of australia rocks right back. i saw her in the summertime and we walked around montreal and looked at things and i babbled about stuff and i'm sure was awkwardly quiet at times too, yet she still thinks i'm O.K. And she's a world traveller and therefore *knows*. one day i will go to australia and be a world traveller too. but mostly i will go to the beach and drink beer and eat candy. you were always on my mind, you were always on my mind: i bought a new walkman for $15.97 plus gst and pst b/c my old walkman broke a while ago and i am too cheap (ppoorr) to go for a discman and too damn *smart* to go for an mp3 player just quite yet. ipod ipod ipod. want. not going to get. unless it's $15.97. which, nope, it isn't. anyway, so i'm back listening to my tapes again, enjoying mixes made pre-2000, featuring the pet shop boys, the pixies, b&s, mag fields, you know the drill... the only downside to the walkman is that it's ultra sensitive (read 'cheap', not 'lubricated thin latex') to radio waves and things, so that every time i walk by a big construction site or a taxi it buzzes and sometimes even clicks. it's like the city is remixing my tunes yo. and damaging my cochlea. ow, my cochlea! hahahaha. love and bits, robyn p.s. despite having a pink raincoat, 60s style, i still want loralai's pink coat, the one she was wearing last gilmore girls episode with the awesome black and pink dress which i also want. p.p.s. thinking about tv has just reminded me that rupert got kicked off survivor last night. it was sad. both b/c it was a sad event and b/c i yelled at the tv and then at the heavens and then at myself. but really: why? rupert was the best thing to happen to reality tv since do-it-yourself liposuction on the home and garden network. yeah, so that never happened except on the TV Screen in My Head (8 p.m. Wednesdays, CTV), but man, Rupert gone? i'm writing him a letter. (yes, just like the windchill factor, reality is but a feeling too. a FEELING.) ===== I was reading the dictionary. I thought it was a poem about everything. ~Steven Wright ~~~ Robyn Fadden rfadden(a)yahoo.com Montreal, QC __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Sinister: Promise that youll rise this day next year
by s.santabarbara＠qmul.ac.uk 22 Nov '04

22 Nov '04

Hotel rooms are aseptic. Anonymous wallpapers, view on the back of car park, the television speaking language I can not understand, and there is a documentary on how to resurface the highway with perfectly blended asphalt, as far as I can understand. Promise that youll rise this day next year. Thats what I told myself this day, last year. And here I am. Promise accomplished for once. It the queue at the acceptance there were not many people at 7 am in the morning. Sworn in stitches, I walked to the worst of it. But I should have definitely cut the power, because the silence breaths even deeper right now, and under water I should have slept with honour. Ill sleep with honour, one day, sometimes. Shall I make this promise again when being a stranger to the one I love? When not even a tin sliced pineapple does help, is it a wound too hard to heal? Cat street fights and the devils inside. And sure it is the price I have to pay for being an absolute idiot. And for all the stupid thing I said. So, it was 98 and 99 and is two thousand something: wake up! And it is snowing outside. And I should take a train a 6:04. Id better go to sleep. Under the water and under the sea.

Sinister: Such a Little Thing Makes Such a Big Difference
by Krister Bladh 16 Nov '04

16 Nov '04

Hello all, I must say I am ashamed*hanging my head in shame* I havent written to you for criminally long. Even my sinister-mail has been piling up. And I know its no excuse to say Ive been busy! Actually, this isnt the post Ive been meaning to write, explaining all about how my life has changed (for the better, I like to believe). That will have to come later And Astrid: Im even sorrier I havent written to you either (though youve been on my mind every so often). At least YOU remember me, right? The thing is, somethings come up. Something thats so much more important to say. And I have to write it down before the feeling of it fades away. It includes two people, called Mark and Lupe. All you need to know right now about the other stuff is that Im now studying at the university and that Ive gotten involved with the student radios indie program. Ok here goes: One of my favourite bands, Pipas, came to Sweden for a gig last Friday. (Im just a fool for Lupes voice). I was sooo excited. Me and Rebecca (also from the radio) were going to interview them. My experience started with me and Rebecca seeing Mark, Lupe getting off the bus, guitar cases in hand, with a friend of theirs (Im really terrible with names). They were so nice and cute! It was really the dream of meeting an idol come true. The interview went well and we had a few laughs, but all the important stuff happened after that. They played two songs live in the radio studio, and I finally realised that I was going to see them live that evening and how great it was going to be. My best friend Eric, who also loves Pipas, was unable to see them, because only students are allowed at the club where they were going to play. He was really sad. But Mark and Lupe were nice enough to put him on the guest list. (Mustve been the funniest one ever just one name) We got badges of course, and they wanted to hang out with us afterwards. So the five of us went back out into the dark and damp late Swedish afternoon (the first time Ive appreciated that kind of weather). It was so nice just talking to them its moments like this youre thankful that youre trying to do something more with you interest in music and actually getting involved in some way. They wanted to do some sightseeing so we took them to the cathedral (we couldnt come up with anything else), which is definitely boring if you live here. But it was great being there with them and they were fascinated with it and its astronomic clock and the sculpture of Finn the giant (which is an unquestionably stupid legend). Then hugs were exchanged and we parted, as we all had to prepare for the show. My perfect day continued with me and Eric taking the train to the pre-party (is that a correct English term?) at Rebeccas friend Maries corridor room at campus. It was nice, talking and listening to Pipas, Free Loan Investments and Heavenly. Than all of us, maybe 10 people, took the bus to the club. This is first time Ive been to a club together with that many people and with that nice people. At the club, it was without a doubt the best time Ive been there. We met Mark, Lupe and their friend again, and Eric got to meet them too. I was ecstatic, talking to them, dancing with my friends to Teenage Fanclub, and drinking Guinness. The concert was one of the best ones ever (right up there with B&S). It wasnt perfect, it never is. And the place wasnt even half full. But I didnt mind any of that. I was dancing It was whole the context, everything that had happened that day that made it so good (and that they mentioned our friends Chris and Rebecca). Also, I have to mention that a very special girl was there. This is a girl that just makes me cry every time I look at her. Ive never talked to her. Ive written a song about her though, called Belle (of course). And our eyes have sometimes met. Ive been seeing her at all the best gigs for about two years, and Ive finally figured out where shes from. This is the girl that will be on the cover of my fanzine (whenev! er I get started with it) sitting on a blanket in a park, immersed in a book by Dostoyevsky, frowning over a sentence shes reading. I could die just to touch her Me and Eric took the last train home. It wasnt until I was in bed, going softly to sleep, that I it came to my mind that this was one of the best days in my life. I felt happier than Ive felt for a long time. I fell asleep and dreamt about Belle. (I hate myself for not remembering it clearly. I need to savour every moment in her arms, fiction or not.) Today I understand it even more clearly. I think this must be the first time Ive ever really felt appreciated. Its a moment that has to be made eternal so I never forget it. Thats part of why Im writing this. And it has to go into a song of course, presuming I have time to write it. Ive never felt as inspired as now. I can picture myself writing about this, all teary-eyed, for the sleeve of a compilation ten years from now. Maybe all this doesnt seem overly fantastic (probably just sentimental and trite) to any of you, but you must consider that my life has always been kind of empty, making me an incurable saddo (well maybe not anymore). Pipas has earned a very special place in my heart. the intended post will follow (hopefully soon), x Chris -- ______________________________________________ Check out the latest SMS services @ http://www.linuxmail.org This allows you to send and receive SMS through your mailbox.

Sinister: Ever wondered how long Isobel's hair is these days?
by Lucy Alder 16 Nov '04

16 Nov '04

Dear Sinister Peter Miller said I should write to you and who am I to refuse? Id been feeling a bit under the weather all weekend, but by Sunday night I was ready for some gentle fun so I went to Glasgows only (as far as Im aware) purveyor of Sam Smiths famous brewed drink products, Mono, where the other big attraction was singist Ally Kerr, and his terrific axe man Mr Chris Leonard. They were very good, but their set was too short. But they were on first, so thats the way of things. The next bloke was a bit dull, although he did do some whistling as well as singing, but I decided it best to spend the time browsing in hardman Stephen Pastels recorde shoppe. I almost went home before the third band but gosh, Im glad I didnt! Do you know who got up onstage? That bootylicious headscarf-wearer, Miss Isobel Campbell herself! Blimey, I havent seen her in ages, despite living in the same city. She was wearing an utterly gorgeous pair of black knee high boots, a slightly mumsy denim skirt and a black polo neck that was a bit short so her tummy poked out. Im still trying to decide if this was a deliberate, wanton display of flesh, or if she didnt realise and might be shocked to discover that her navel was on show. The other thing I noticed about her was how long her hair was half way down her back, in fact. Other than that, she was quite the same as I remember her eyeliner, asthmatic hamster voice, blah blah. The band she sang two songs with was called the Green Peppers. Its a shame none of the support bands was called the Red Tomatoes. I bet people say that to them all the time. Nobody in the audience looked like Ainsley Herriott either, but one chap did bear a strong resemblance to Dominik Diamond of Gamesmaster fame. It WAS Dominik Diamond of Gamesmaster fame! What a celeb-packed night out it was. The next morning, I got up at 6.30am and went to work.

Sinister: Almost like a missing person persons appeal
by Neil Grayshon 15 Nov '04

15 Nov '04

Just without the drama, and your face won't appear on the side of a milk carton. This is really just a brief message, a question really. No it's not even a question, perhaps a polite request. If KIERAN DEVANY, mostly of Birmingham, but more recently of Sheffield still reads this could you please get in touch via neil_grayshon(a)yahoo.com or on my mobile (0)7946 57 12 23.
