Sinister: we rule the cuckoo
by kenneth.chu＠uclh.org 02 Feb '04

02 Feb '04

Hello! You know, it must be quiet around these sinister parts, since nobody has yet whinged about valentines day as of yet. You know, what's up with that??? No one's written any poems! or passages of lament and sorrow! nobody's boasted about how they are in love! huh? Whilst being at the bog, I read this following haiku on the toilet door... it's valentine's day i hope i'll get chocolate as i'm quite hungry Great sentiment, however, who the hell thinks about eating chocolate whilst at the shitter??? -------- For those of you in London and is after some place to go on that day there is I heard another Tigermilking Event at the Betsey Trotwood - "My Bloody Valentine Special", I hear! Does that mean there'll be a special at the bar for Bloody Mary? Unforutnately I won't be there since I'm going to be in SINGAPORE for my sister's wedding! (my first wedding ever!! eep!) But those who will be here should really check it out. http://www.undermybed.org/tigermilking/ Wow on there there are pictures of my bum! -------- SUPERBOWL I, like Sam Walton, also had a superbowl watching party, although, lacking in friends the party involved me and my flatmate, who went to bed after half way thorugh the second quarter - i.e. HA HA he watched all the boring bits and missed out on all the excitements that came after!! - GREAT CAROLINA MINI-COMEBACK TO TIE - 2ND LONGEST DRIVE IN SUPERBOWL HISTORY - LONGEST PLAY FROM SCRIMMAGE IN SUPERBOWL HISTORY - FINAL SECOND JOHNNY WILKINSON KIND OF LIKE FIELD GOAL - JANET JACKSON'S BOOB-SHOWAGE SHOCKAH! I read through the news paper headline and there was none that said "JUSTIN BROUGHT OUT THE BREAST IN JANET JACKSON" What's up with that?? Also, oh my god, I had never noticed before last night that the football players wear so much ASS PADDING!!!!!!! They all looked like J-Lo!!!!!!!!!!!!! -------- I'M A CUCKOO Blimey! There are still people in this world playing this I'm a Cuckoo game!! Grr! And beating my score!! (Although I was first to break 1million!) There goes my social life for the next month. Yay! I never had one in the first place. I will however have to schedule I'm a cuckoo playage with Project Gotham Racing and Grand Theft Auto Vice City though. I'm like a kid again. Ken *the best sound in the world (not dissimilar to the pool balls rolling out) is when you pot a ball properly in snooker and it goes "ker-kluck" when the ball hits the wood bit at the back and falls into the pocket. swweeeeeeeet. In stark contrast to John Virgo the commentator, who should learn to be quiet. *the sound of a perfect strike in bowling is also pretttty special. ********************************************************************** This email is confidential and intended solely for the person or entity to whom it is addressed.

Sinister: Vinatieri, New England Kicker
by Sam Walton 02 Feb '04

02 Feb '04

Hello Sinister. We had a Superbowl party last night at our house. There were about 15 of us. We've had one every year we've been at Uni together. It's something of a tradition, and I've no shame in sitting into the small hours watching plenty of VERY LARGE men in TIGHT LYCRA beating seven shades of shit out of one another. But last night's party was special because we had REAL LIVE AMERICANS in our presence to explain the rules to us. It was most fun, and we now understand the subtleties of the "unnecessary roughness" penalty too. It was a pretty good game, although I was rooting for the Panthers, if you want the truth. I thought they had it sewn up one stage, too, but you have to hand to that guy who kicked the 41-yard field goal for New England with 4 seconds to go; he certainly had nerves of steel. Anyway, I'm sat here listening to DCW, and I can happily say that it's really standing the test of time, in my ears at least. "...Cuckoo" is an extraordinarily good song, in my opinion. Bordering on perfect B&S? Could be. See, I recently experienced a bit of a messy break-up with my girlfriend of 9 months or so, and I haven't heard quite as good a break-up song as "...Cuckoo" since I ended the relationship less than mutually. Anyway, I just think that it's absolutely magical stuff. "Wrapped...", "Step..." and "...Loose" are also gems, for sure. But since becoming suddenly single about a week ago I've been trying to take pleasure out of the little things in life: I've been enjoying the sound of Paul O'Reilly's rather good "First Thing In The Morning" through headphones against a muffled backdrop of gently clacking keyboards. I've been compiling a list of my favourite non-musical sounds*, and I've also been noticing those wonderful, comfortable, easy silences that you enjoy in just the right company at just the right time. I also saw Lost In Translation, too, talking of the simple things. Sure, I know I'm late with a review, so I won't bother with one. I think it's a very Sinister film though - I can imagine a lot us enjoying the little moments in it. I certainly did. Heck I nearly cried at one point, but then I stopped and remembered that I'm a DOUBLE-HARD BASTARD. Another good film is American Splendour, which again I can imagine a Sinister population really digging. One thing that's far from simple though is a Justin Trousersnake concert. Carsmile may concur. I had the pleasure of attending one with my now-ex-but-then-current girlfriend about two weeks ago, and I was just absolutely bowled over. He is an ugly man, but he sure can move, and I don't think I've ever seen anything as slick and just brilliantly professional in all my life. I mean it when I say that B&S could probably take a leaf or two out of his book. Really. Anyway, I think that's about all. It's quite quiet around here at the moment, isn't it? Asm.x *the crunch of snow under foot; the clunk-roll of balls being released from a pool table; the pop of a cork coming out of a bottle; the flap-thud of letters coming through the door in the morning; the sqelch of laser on compact disc etc. ================================ "He's strictly a pain in the ass, but he certainly has a good vocabulary" - Holden Caulfield _________________________________________________________________ Sign-up for a FREE BT Broadband connection today! http://www.msn.co.uk/specials/btbroadband +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: i was looking good on the day that you fell for the way i looked
by rrrrobyn 02 Feb '04

02 Feb '04

be-scarved masses, hello: so it snowed in london, did it? yeah, it snowed here too. *every day for days and days*. sometimes i dream about seeing the grass or feeling a pleasant breeze, but hey, it's my second winter in montreal and the crazy thing is that i don't mind it this time around. yeah, it's cold and the wind (-40 does not a pleasant breeze make) can sometimes make your head feel like a melon about to shatter, but, y'know, it eventually ends and you feel a bit proud for making it through. i also cheered myself up before christmas with a really nice new hat, and my christmas xchange santa-girl katie sent me a lovely baby-blue scarf :) hurrah! i was just playing the 'i'm a cuckoo' game. it is hard and my patience does not seem to extend to video games anymore. maybe this is because i'm now 29 years old! (i had a Twin Peaks party! it was great! coffee, pie, doughnuts, weirdness!) at least i know that i'm still good at having parties, staying up late and drinking to excess... originally, my new year's resolution was to not drink (as much/often) and then i switched it to something else, which i've now forgotten. probably because of all the drinking. (haha. er.) will there be another Tigermilking or something 'indie' when i come to London? hint hint please please. i'm there from March 31 to April 20. and even if there isn't a Tigermilking, I hope there is a getting-togethering so that I might see some people again and some for the first time - yes, i'm talkin' to you. it would be nice. i might also need to sleep on your couches/floors for a night or two because the friend i'm to stay with will have a new baby and i kinda would like to give her and her husband some space if needed. *also*, my brother will be in london april 2-5! i haven't seen him in almost 2 years, so that's exciting. um, and i told him i'd ask around here if anyone would like to put up a cute, young canadian thang for a couple nights. would you? he's great. if only we weren't such *poor*, cute, young canadian thangs, we wouldn't need to ask for such help and could just have posh hotel rooms. alas... oh, and you'd have places to stay in both vancouver and montreal if you ever wanted to visit the best two cities in canada. (i can hear s.kado from here: "torontopia!" and i say: "no.") i still can't quite believe i'm headed overseas in two months - i'm all caught up in school (as usual) and things. no boyfriend anymore, but hey, it's actually for the better. i've been writing a lot about cosmetic surgery, bodybuilding and fashion. will the thesis be done by august? probably not, but i'm not too worried. i heart school. my name is robyn and i want to do a phd. eegh. ah, they just played some stereolab on the radio and i realized that i haven't listened to stereolab in a while. in fact, i haven't even noticed it on my cd shelves, my eyes apparently just pass over those *several inches of stereolab cds* every time i look for something to listen to. what is wrong? i adore stereolab. perhaps i need a better way to organize my cds? none of this silly alphabetical stuff. something better, a *system* better than the alphabet... i love systems. i need some medication. also, after the stereolab song, a guy on the radio said he worked in a cafe called 'java the hutt'. in kansas. haha. ha. puns. it's almost as good as the hair salon i saw just outside london called 'curl up and dry'. which reminds me: i haven't punned around on #sinister for some time now. must visit. ohmygod, there's a new mountain goats cd. aaah! love. so much love. i love the system that is sinister. r o b y n here is something: http://apoemabouteverything.blogspot.com (i don't know.) ===== 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!? Yahoo!

Sinister: Faggy but nice
by Lucy Alder 31 Jan '04

31 Jan '04

Dear Sinister I have come to the conclusion that there are only two games I will ever be any good at. One is Snapper, the Acorn Electron's crappy rip-off of Pacman. The other is GTA3, but only if I have a flatmate who is always a step ahead of me to tell me how to beat the SPANKED UP MADMEN! I will never be any good at the Cuckoo game. After several attempts, my highscore is 12,500. How will anyone ever beat Chu? And, more importantly, shouldn't he go out and do something less boring instead? Eh? I was listening to John Peel's other show this morning and there was a lady who had given her son the name of Kevan. I was hanging on to see if she was a Missus Cooke but she wasn't. It was a bit of a disappointment. It's snowing again in Glasgow this morning, but it's a highly unsatisfactory half-sleet kind of thing. I have my thoughts set firmly on spring, though. This afternoon I will sow my sweet peas and possibly book tickets to New York to go to a Sinister Wedding! Wow. How many sini-weddings have there been so far? I wonder what Miss Honey's recommended apparel is for spring in Central Park. All the shops seem to be full of babygirl pink at the moment, but it's also the nedgirls' couleur du jour. Of course, I wouldn't be wearing a pink trackie jacket with BEAR emblazened on the front, but it's still a shade with... connotations, you know? I can't think of anything else to say.

Sinister: B & S Mailing List - "I'm A Cuckoo" competition! (fwd)
by Linda Kerr 30 Jan '04

30 Jan '04

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2004 15:26:02 -0000 From: band(a)banchory.net To: list(a)banchory.net Subject: B & S Mailing List - "I'm A Cuckoo" competition! Hello all, First up, our friends at smalloranges.com have created a fabulous new game for "I'm A Cuckoo" which you can play online at http://www.imacuckoo.com The first prize is a trip for two to see Belle & Sebastian play in Barcelona on March 13th 2004, and there are 15 randomly chosen second prizes of signed records and various other goodies. The winner of the first prize will be the highest scoring eligible entry for the game and will receive two return flights FROM THE UK to Barcelona, two nights accommodation, tickets for the show and £200 spending money. The competition is running from NOW until 12 noon GMT on Monday 30th February 2004. Even though it is pretty likely that the winner will be from the UK (unless you can get yourself here at your own cost) please don't let that put you off entering the competition as everyone is eligible to win in the random second prize draw. Continuing with the "I'm A Cuckoo" single, we've reached number 7 on the MTV2/NME chart in the UK, thanks to everyone who's been voting for the Cuckoo video. Please continue to vote online at http://www.mtv2europe.com/nmechart2.jhtml to keep it in the Top 10! Further to the last Mailing List message, the "I'm A Cuckoo" will be released by Rough Trade America on enhanced CD single and (imported UK) 7" on February 24th. There won't be an NTSC version of the DVD single as previously mentioned at present, sorry, but we are working on remedying this situation soon. The enhanced CD single will also be released in Japan by Labels JP on February 18th and in Australia by Spunk Records on March 1st. Lastly, we'll have two new t-shirts in the online shop tomorrow, one for the "...Cuckoo" single and the other an old poster design from the past, which we think looks rather groovy on a t-shirt. Take a look tomorrow at http://www.banchoryshop.net to see what we're talking about. Good luck to you all in the competition!

Sinister: I'm too cuckoo for school
by kenneth.chu＠uclh.org 30 Jan '04

30 Jan '04

Hey there sinistees, Hope you're all doing well. How's everybody's January been? It can be quite dull sometimes couldn't it, when everybody seems to be recouperating from the damages done in December. International Bowling Day was only a month ago - seems like ages now. It doesn't help either that it is freezing, of course, it's snowing and everything and if you are like, twee, or something, or just have a knack of reciting lyrics of vague relevance you might go "aww, fox in the snow", except then you realise that you live in London and if there are indeed any foxes in this Max Surban Urban city, they're likely to be flat after being run over by cars, which then estate agents will pick up and sell to you for £923,893 ono and you get all depressed about house prices. Fortunately, the boredom of January is finally over! Firstly in two days it won't be January anymore, but instead February, it's a great month because it only lasts for 29 days! So it's over more quickly. And ALSO - It's a month for playing the I'M A CUCKOO game!!!!! Never had there been (yes there has, but still) a flash game you can play that ACTUALLY WINS YOU THINGS. And I'm on the leaderboard! Yay! I was in 2nd place at some stage until some rascals got higher scores - but I'm still 7th. I don't know why they bother though, since I so obviously am going to win this. The game is pretty easy in a hard kind of way - it's like super mario bros - you can win but try and play a PERFECT GAME it becomes colossal. And if you're like, twee or something you'd even go "aww the cuckoo thing goes 'cuckoo' when it lands an egg", except then you get reminded of the polystyrene containers for eggs in Safeways, and you start cringing as you imagine the sound when you touch polystyrene things.. EEP i just imagined it ARRRRRRRRRRRGH. Added bonus of this game is it has a KARAOKE version of I'm a cuckoo (the song without the main vocal) playing in the background.. I wonder if it's a hint that there'll be a KARAOKE MODE on the DVD single?!?!??!?!?! *salivates* Now back to playing game er *ahem* work ********************************************************************** This email is confidential and intended solely for the person or entity to whom it is addressed.

Sinister: Tiger, Bunnies, Gnu: mammals. isn't that what we all are?
by Stefano [Steady-State] 27 Jan '04

27 Jan '04

Dearest Sinisters It snowed this week last year in Lundun and people were trapped on the motorway and sort of skating on ice back home when the underground stopped. The weather forecast said is going to snow again and the roads are spread with salt. They are taking it seriously! Snow Puppets tomorrow and snowballs; Lovely! There must be a reason for all the looks we gave and for the weather as well! Must be because I have won my usual inertial laziness and updated the photographs from the last Tigermilking night in December. http://www.undermybed.org/tigermilking Talking about [Tigermilking] If you fancy like coming over for the next one... well it is the 14th of February: yes, My Bloody Valentine Day! It will be a special theme night, obviously, following the suggestion of Paul the Gingerfox... see him behind the wheels of fire together with other people on the list possibly including Myself and Jim Purpletrousers in a broken hearted session introduction: I´ll move myself to tears. Not such a hard task!... That of course before dance my shoes off, which, in turn, proves I´m clearly schizophrenic. Wondering if anyone would fancy bowling in the afternoon: Cheesy! But the main reason for the forecast snow prediction should be me playing a gig this Friday. I think I´ll bring glowing bunny on stage as well, and might be wearing a Simpson T-Shirt as Mark H. suggested my boss might have looked a bit as burns. Actually He looked a lot like Osama Bin Laden, which later caused him a few problems getting into work. But he was a very nice guy, though I can´t comment on Osama having never met him before. Upstairs at the garage is a nice venue, I think. Mostly because I have seen some nice band over there, and spent some lovely night at the Silver Rocket club, which I really recommend because is ace, and it damn rock. The first time I played there, I´ve been in England for only two days and it looked like a complete dream, supporting one of my favourite band and everyone being so friendly I could not even believe it. Forget about the things people says about Italian being friendly, is all b******s! Now is about two year exactly I´ve been playin! g there and I am a lot less disenchanted about things, but still feel extremely pleased I moved in this country. ...And again, one bloke in on of the band I am supporting was in the line up of my favourite Mogwai album, which is not Come on Die young! (it could have been though) but Young Team. But if you feel like going a lot more indie pop, he was in Teenage Funclub as well... Bandwagonesque tells you anything?... I´ve got quite a few reason to be excited... haven´t I? I´ve ownloaded some of their stuff... they sound a bit metal too me though, but, should I mind?* The first person I ever met in this country is called Ian. He is GREAT, and he plays in a few very nice bands One of his last creatures is HEY COLOSSUS. They rock. An awful lot. Self-defined, horrible kraut stoner rock: says everything. They have a got a record out, is on vinyl and comes for only 5 quid at the gig. And I think is good, very good, plus more fun that you can ask for at a concert. Can you ask for more? Today I feel rock´n´roll. I am sorry Have a great one Love Stefano *if you want to come over email me of line, I can put a few ppl on the guest list, saves some pounds! #~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~# When you sleep do you see an angel in dying light Or can you see someone standing outside trying to set you alight Or maybe you've seen someone somewhere before that I might have loved if i'd never loved you but you only see me in bad dreams +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: May I punch you?
by a.s.t.r.i.d＠nme.com 27 Jan '04

Sometimes I wonder what's wrong with people. In the computer room, there are four good computers that you can play mp3s on. I'm on one of them. I was here first. I, for once, started playing MY music, first some Josh Ritter and now, because of my wrath, Interpol. Quite obviously, you don't start playing on one of the other computers when someone else is already playing. But someone is. I am in this moment getting Interpol's PDA ruined by background sounds from crap 70s cockrock. AH! SOD OFF EVIL PERSON PLAYING CRAP MUSIC! I WAS HERE FIRST! DON'T YOU KNOW THE UNWRITTEN LAWS?! I am in quite a mood today, you see. I missed my bus first, so I was too late to actually attend my organisation and leadership class, when I got here I realized I had forgot my keys at home. This was also the day that I brought the seven books with me that I have to go to the library with. Good things: I listened to B&S on my way here, and that made me feel good and twee and happy. I am buying a nice sweater on sale today. I end at like 12:30. Last night I made a life improvement list. It included things as sleep more, read more, clean more often, exercise more and some rules for shopping. I don't know what good this list will do me but it was at least something to do. I dreamt really weirdly, I danced a "naked dance" (it was called that but when I danced it in my dream it felt more like some sort of rain dance) for people in my school, fully dressed. It sounds like it'd be a pervy thing but it wasn't. I was wearing a gorgeous sort of 50s dress though. And Posh n Becks were getting married (again?) in the school gym. They were wearing something that seemed like some sort of scuba gear, but Becks had holes made along the side, so you could almost see his arse. It was strange. Speaking of arses, this weekend I had a disturbing experience that will scar me for life. I had had a nice evening with Amanda at my dad's. We had danced around in Caled Followill and Justin Hawkins-masks that we got with the Xmas NME. We had been singing and playing some and rehearsed a bit. We had even played some very hilarious Mickey Mouse's Racing or whatever it's called, it's a video game. We had had a GOOD TIME. And then. We put on the tv. Amanda starts sulking when I don't want to watch what she wants to watch, so I change to the "Open Channel" where people can do whatever they want, sort of. It's just local. This guy, i think he was from Kenya, stood there, against a cheesy background, with a synthesizer and sang and played piano to a pre-done background with crap drums. it was quite funny. We like that. Innocent. But then we switched to another channel. And there was Bruce Willis, just finding a rattle snake in his mailbox and we said to each other "Ah yes, haha, must be that erotic thriller they've shown commercials for all week" and kept watching because it was the best thing on. And then. THEN. the lurrrrve-making in the pool! AH! BRUCE WILLIS' PRIVATES! FILMED UNDERWATER! AHHHH! We laughed so hard we had to keep watching because it was so terribly awful and made us CRINGE, and,ah, yes, Bruce Willis' arse pressed against the shower glass wall, thanks a lot. Disgusting man. They showed this movie at prime time on probably the biggest channel in Sweden. STRANGE. And gross, gross, gross beyond words. I've given up on competing with the EVIL EVIL EVIL person playing crap music on her computer. Play Queen or whatever, I don't care. Argh. By the way, mine and Amanda's band have changed our name now. From The Phoners via The Delays (we had it for about a week, until we realized it was taken by a really great new band signed on Rough Trade) via The Vanities (no, a LA band had that name it turned out after browsing through the five first pages of google results) via our new name: Kit. It might be shite, it might be nice, but we like the feel of it so this one is a keeper. Yesterday I felt like fighting someone all day. My friend Sanna did as well. I was walking around saying things such as "I might just punch someone, just because I feel evil" and I still do. Maybe it's because i've never hit someone or recieved a punch from someone else. It would just be interesting to see how it'd feel. But I'm so weak, I know I'd be a lost cause in a fight. But still. Oh well. The demo is coming out well for us, we have still "just" done Hit it, Raoul! but we are trying to get back in the studio ASAP. In the meantime, we have done some background vocals on Martin Gordon's (ex-Sparks) new record. Take care people, and please say hello once in a while. My inbox is lonely.
