Sinister: Electronic Mail Renaissance
by Kenneth P Y Chu 18 Aug '06

18 Aug '06

Hello! And the revolution continues. The revolution of The Life Pursuit CD ===================================== I think Mornington Crescent is an alright song, the only problem with it I guess is that it misses the point. I mean, the lyrics are all backwards, you're supposed to END with "Mornington Crescent"! Not Start! There was a possible saviour in calling the Camden Emergency Closure to reverse the move, but it was never called! "Rain in the Southeast" would only block moves on the DLR, which is useless (and that is assuming we're playing with DLR extension at all). My favourite song on the album is 'Another Sunny Day'. The guitar at the start though, is totally the same as Mayfly! But this has better words. Apart from the bit about 'fuck all' which was rude. But the bit about the peninsula is good, because peninsula is a lovely word, and is an anagram of "luna penis". The revolution of the wheels of a Truck ======================================= This weekend I'm going to this thing called 'Truck Festival', but apparently, disappointingly, it has nothing to do with truckers or munching hotdogs/sausage rolls whilst driving an 18-wheeler. Apparently instead it is some kind of music thing. It still sounds fun though, and I don't know any of the bands! But there's one called ":(" which is nice, I want to hear how they introduce themselves. There's also another one called "The Rhonda Valley Pigeon Federation" whom I'd quite like to see, because I like pigeons. Actually I do know one band who are playing, and they feature someone formerly of this Parish! The band isn't "Good Shoes", who are also playing, incidentally, and would have been apt as a name. The Revolution of the Turny Touchpad Thing on the iPod ====================================================== Sorry to hear about your iPod Matt. I had an iPod who died too, a few months ago when I dropped it at a bus stop. I have replaced it now with a new one (free with my phone) but I still have the old one hanging about and I still dream of the day when it would suddenly spring back to life with its wee Apple logo. In the meantime Matt, Broken iPods are very handy for games of catch, you know! It's just got the right weight and size. Doesn't work so well as tennis balls. If you really want to set it onto the river though, let me know and I'll float mine over the Thames, perhaps they'll meet someday along a warm stream on the Atlantic, should yours ever become lost on its way to Avalon and mine to Glastonbury. Prance Prance Revolution ======================== Two months ago, I was on a bus that was going down the road, slowly, as there was a traffic jam. And alongside the road was this man, who was walking down the road normally at first, but then suddenly started skipping and prancing down. My bus and the man were going at around the same pace so I spied on him for about a minute, as he was prancing the whole time. He was very strange, and reminded me of you. Was it you? It was on Caledonian Road, in London. You were wearing a smart shirt, and may have been quite tall, but you cannot always trust your perspectives while on a bus.

Sinister: Memories of a poster
by Stuart Gardiner 24 Jul '06

24 Jul '06

Dear Sinisterines (and Sinisterine bumps), Hell, if Ailsa can write to sinister again, I've got no excuse. Apart from that it's bloody hot today. So I'll start by defending Mornington Crescent by saying that it's not the worst song on the album. Actually, I love the LP LP because it's the first B&S album that you can listen to the first two-thirds of and get all the good songs before it's time to get off the bus. Although I'm still mystified as to why the only song that got airplay over here, Another Sunny Day, isn't a single... Oh, for anyone who cares, I'm currently living in possibly the world's greatest city, Portland. Home to arts, fantastic outdoor activities, alternative everything, weirdness, and pretty much every US indie band worth listening to (new Decemberists album due on October 3rd... I've not looked forward to a release this much for ages... No smutty thoughts please Ken...). And I'm probably about to move to what I'm told is another contender for the world's greatest city, Melbourne, for a few months. It's a hard life. You see, I didn't have much to say really. I won't bother next time. Big Stu (It's been so long since I posted, I'm out of practice. Just hope I don't hit 'send' before I've fini +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Then One Day In Spring I'll Take Him Down To The Road
by Gayle E. Anderson 23 Jul '06

23 Jul '06

Sinister Here I sit on my lunch break at -work-. They don't provide us with internet access. Intentionally. I didn't MAKE my laptop pick up the wireless signal it did it all by itself. Its very hot this week. Which I love. But I am work, which I hate. I'm not sure what that amounts to really. Todays sandwich was the same as yesterdays except my lettuce was slightly slimey on account of it being less than fresh. Most lunchbreaks are spent studying (open university). This lunchtime is not because I never realised how close I was to the end of the unit and so didn't bring the next one with me. Sigh. Glamorama by Bret Easton Ellis is either the worst, or second worst, book Ihave ever read. The other contender is The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. Although purely for their endings the Stuart David books are up there...definetely worst endings ever. Such good stories too. Its a shame. I thouroughy enjoyed American Psycho and Rules Of Attraction. Robert Rankin books are my favourite right now. I am not reading anything right now. Our household recently upgraded to a 50" hd tv. I remain unconvinced. What was wrong with the old one? its not like we actually have sky hd or anything! Tomorrow is supposed to be the hottest day all week. Yay because I'm off. Boo because I'll be sitting in my room studying all day. Yay because I'm getting my hair done which means Yay a 4 hour study break and regaining non-mullet hairstyle status. But boo because it costs nearly three quarters of a hundred pounds and I'm sposed to be saving for a 2 week holiday in september which isnt even BOOKED yet and boo open uni stuff due in on thu. but YAY I think its going to be ok. And I'll have cool hair. And in the end, thats what really matters. x _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live Messenger has arrived.

Sinister: The kids are melting in the doorway
by jo perry 20 Jul '06

20 Jul '06

To all the sun baked and listless, I am sat cross legged on chewing gummed carpet, to the left are my year 9 English class, the urchins are sweaty in their untucked shirts, flavoured with an impulse/lynx concoction that is impossible not to taste. For those of you unaware of my occupation I am a teacher and having wiggled my data projector cable vehemently for 20 minutes in the hope of screening "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest" on a whiteboard that flashes a variety of colours in acid house reverence (red screen, blue screen, white screen etc) I have decamped the entire class to the end of the corridor by the fire escape. So the children now line the way out, if the fire bell sounds there will be no flames licking their uniformed hides- just senior management to answer to when they wonder why my children seem so readily poised for tragedy. This rambling actually does have some meaning beyond the general thrill I get from working with wireless technology. I just wanted to know if anyone has seen "The blues are still blue" promotional music video- it is set in a launderette- Mrs Apps had it right all along. And far less importantly- Has anyone spotted my haphazard use of punctuation? It has all gone out of the window... One more day until the six week break, I am clawing my way there. Jo Perry, she who loves you. x ___________________________________________________________ Now you can scan emails quickly with a reading pane. Get the new Yahoo!

Sinister: #include "MyThoughts.h"

Sinister.Init("InHerHead.dat"); Ooh this is a regular poster. Have you ever looked in a mirror and been rather upset by how good your hair looks? Is it possible to spend £uber and 3hours15minutes on hair and feel <punk.h>? OnHerHead->Color = blackPINK; The (!Significant) other was made a so called "Best of" Belle and Sebastian cd. None of the Eps are featured. Glasgow picnic. Matt posted. RIP iPod. And so did Ailsa! Yes a Glasgow picnic definately should happen, I've not been to one since... I'm not sure but it was probably 2002. Maybe it was the Edinburgh one where Ken Chu kissed a wasp? Or the one where Jeremy fell over? Or the one in Glasgow where we were asked to move along by the police for drinking outside? Maybe they were the same one? Well I'm free on Sunday morning! :) Still no good at posting xx Close(); _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live Messenger has arrived.

Sinister: A Summer Wasting
by Ailsa Watson 20 Jul '06

20 Jul '06

Blimey. What's brought you lot out then? Pasty-faced indie geeks sitting in front of the computers avoiding the sunshine? Surely not. Get out of the city and into the sunshine, kids! That's what I've been doing. Except it's not sunny any more. And I'm in my office. Still, I tried. Picnicking sounds fun. I haven't been to a Sinister picnic since the heady days of the R!A!H! gig in 2001. That's, like, FIVE YEARS AGO. And that was in London, too. Glasgow should picnic once more. There's still enough of us here. Even if none of them post any more. <---- hypocrisy alert! Archel is right about Mornington Crescent, as she is about so many things. It wouldn't be a B&S album without a clunker though, would it? On the other hand, I think Dress Up In You may be my favouritest B&S song of, ooh, a long time. Possibly ever. I have seen them twice live already this year, and shall complete the hat-trick at Princes Street Gardens in August. Princes Street Gardens! That's, like, massive! I remember when they were playing wee places, to small huddles of adoring Sinisterines. Actually, they never really did that, did they? It was all reasonably-sized venues, jammed to the rafters. Still, I like to think I was there when it was small and intimate, rather than the monstrous rock behemoth that is stadium-friendly B&S. They've got awfully good live these days. Seems so long since the shambling giggling messes of (gulp) 10 years ago. Anyway, yeah, picnic. We should do that.
