Sinister: taking lo-fi to a whole new level
by Aurora Borealis 14 Jun '04

14 Jun '04

coming from a country that didn't qualify for the european championships and living in a country that didnt qualify for the european championships and not even caring enough about football to avoid watching the Beach on the other channel, (what the hell was that all about - i don't care how nice the beach is but 6 years of beach volleyball is gonna get dull???), i suppose i should feel left out.... but i don't really care, so thank you apathy, once again... and thank you dad for making me love rugby and get bored by football, c'est la vie.... a glaswegian anomlay indeed. my latest bout of idiocy involved the concept of recording music...something i guess many of you will be familiar with....it all started with a mobile phone (with recording facility), a vorspiel (norwegian code for getting trashed before going out thus in theory avoiding need to purchase numerous 50 kroner beers in the pub whilst in reality inducing need to buy even more expensive liquor), and a very bad acoustic guitar based cover of a song which i believe doesn't actually have guitars in it. genius. since then, via the all empowering embrace of the incredibly poor thus incredibly enhancing sound quality of the phone mic, we have come to believe we need to record to a non phone based media. this led rapidly to the heady world of digital 4 tracks and fancy instrument mics...i had to stop when i realised i could probably live for half a year in asia for the cost of hearing a perfect reproduction of a guitar-less song played with guitars by 2 guys, neither of whom could sing... never let the dream be diminished by facts but there comes a point. Anyway, since then, and most probably for the better, i have become aware in the style of a caveman wandering into the NASA headquarters of the sheer myriad of pc-based technology available for such musical efforts, so despite lacking a pc, this could be a more sensible way of going about things...? mmm splurge...the wind is blowing itself into a frenzy and am about to spend 2 days and nights on a large boat off the coast of norway. hope the Glasgow show rocked.. i'm off to get acquainted with the interior of a bucket. adios amigos :> ___________________________________________________________ALL-NEW Yahoo!

Sinister: shameless fishing
by Gillian Kirby 12 Jun '04

12 Jun '04

You probably don't remember me...I'm like one of those swamis that stays silent for years and then speaks up with profound insights (or not). However, today I am feeling very weird, and also lonely. If you want to make a new virtual chum and share my virtual lovehearts, please pop an ICQ to 72090007. Or look at www.livejournal.com/users/mippy and leave notes on how cool I am, like a big laburnum tree. Even hate mail gladdens my heart and reminds me there's more than spam and bills in the world... love, me ===== _________________________ 'I stayed exactly where I was and suffered endless Felt...'

Sinister: B&S in Australia!
by Lawrence Mikkelsen 12 Jun '04

12 Jun '04

Holy Moley! B&S in Australia! Let's not be coy about it, it's brown trousers time here! I assume the chance of B&S taking a punt on flying across the Tasman and playing a one-off gig in New Zealand is pretty slim? (long silence from B&S camp) sigh ... thought so. Well then, I guess I'll have to fly to Melbourne for the gig. I am feeling extremely excited, and also slightly miffed at the prospect of having to shell out far more money than I can justify to see my favourite band in another country.

Sinister: XFM Tickets
by Neil Robertson 12 Jun '04

12 Jun '04

Well sadly James, I'm going to be the highest bidder for this, and you can whistle for your money. It's a free show for competition winners. Just give your tickets away, don't sell them. Selling them makes you a tout, and I fucking hate touts.

Sinister: things to do in Reykjavik and the Botanical Gardens
by Antti Tapani Koskiranta 11 Jun '04

11 Jun '04

Hello lovelies, I decided to stop lurking, at least for this one post. The reasons for my bravery are resent requests for advice for what to do and see in Reykjavik AND the fact that I am myself in Scotland, and Glasgow for this weekend. I know this comes a wee bit late since it's already Friday night but if anyone of you going to the Botanical Gardens tomorrow happens to notice a boy looking a little lost and carrying an "Interflug" bag come over and say hello. I will keep my eyes open for upside-down badges :) You could also write me. I'll check my mails sometime tomorrow. So.. about Reykjavik then. I was living there for nine months, from September to May and am now on my way home to Finland. I could recommend several bars but in my opinion the best are Prikid (on Laugavegur) and Sirkus (on Klapparstigur). Prikid has a very comfy atmosphere and old wood interior, and it has a good offer for beer before 10 pm (250 Icelandic kronur). Only downpoint is that like in any place in R-vik, there's hardly any other people before midnight... There's an absolutely wonderful small cafe called Mokka on Skolavordustigur (2nd "o" should have 2 dots on top but I can't find them on this keyboard :P Oh well..). Get waffles, everyone seems to love them. Up the hill on the same street is 12 Tonar record store. Ask the helpful and well-informed staff for recommendations, listen to cd's and get some complimentary espresso. It's possibly the best record store I've ever been to. Not big, but very comfortable. You could also see Hafnarfjordur town south of Reykjavik. It's close and very cute. City bus lines 140 and 150 go there. On the way you can go to the Kringlan shopping mall if you like, but it's nothing special. Just a mall.. I went there once during my stay. So there. Last summer there was a flea market behind the Sirkus bar. It was a lot better then the "official" flea market, Kolaportid. For daily events listings, see one of the newspapers (Morgunbladid, Frettabladid or DV) or ask the guys at the record store. During summer months there is also a free fortnightly magazine called Grapevine which also has events listings. I have to say "sael!" to Edda and "saell!" to Gummi and apologise for not ever getting around to contacting you two while I was in Iceland... I wasn't feeling too social at times. I guess that's typical for Iceland. It is for finland, anyway ;) Bye now. I'll continue my (futile?) search for Belle fans among the hostel guests. Take care!

Sinister: Seeing Other People - the movie?
by Dan Ziv 11 Jun '04

11 Jun '04

Strangely, I don't think anyone of you had noticed this new movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0362129/ Its called "Seeing Other People", and it is starred by a Jonathan Davis. Very strange coincidence, I guess. When I've looked at the message board for this item in IMDB, I was sure that I'll find many comments by B&S fans. There were none. However, there were many comments by Korn fans - this Jonathan Davis actor guy happens to be from that group. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Stay Loose afterparty tix
by marisa stroud 09 Jun '04

09 Jun '04

My friend Tiff is stuck "down south" with the flu and can't make it for the funly goodness that will be this Saturday here in (pray jeebus) sunny Glasgow. Does anybody feel like buying her afterparty ticket from me? In the Glastonbury spirit, you can have it for what I paid for it, which was �11.50 (I ordered online). I doubt the tix are sold out, and you could prolly go to the QM and get one for a flat �10, but if anyone wants mine they're welcome to it. Email me and I'll hook you up with my mobile # etc for the exchange. later bunnies marisa ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
