hi sinister
I'm in a pretty filthy mood right now. Filthy as in
bad, rather than kinky, so don't get any ideas that
this post will be anything less of a rant and a moan.
BANKS
Banks are gits. CAN anyone explain, why in the UK, it
takes days for a cheque to clear? I'm only asking,
becuase I was due to pick up my beloved car today.
For those of you who don't know:
I passed my test, and bought a car the next day.
Bought, as in
"I'll have one of those in red please, here's £100
deposit."
(You don't know how cool that felt to actually say
that. Some of you might object to the whole idea of
wealth, but y'know, still, being able to say that felt
good. Oh, I'm so ruled by money sometimes. I bet they
thought I was a prat in the dealers, but I don't care)
And then? then came the insurance. The company who
offered me the lowest rate, was Diamond, and I'm yet
to work out the catch. It was £500 less than what the
AA could find, and £300 less than the RAC.
Then I had to get a loan, and get stroppy in a bank
when they were going to charge me for transferring
money to my other account. I threatened to close my
account altogether, so they let me off with it, and
did it all free of charge. I just don't understand,
why, in a world of computers and technobuffins, that
to transfer money I had to either:
1. pay £18 for a telegraph transfer (telegraph? a bit
19th Century, don't you think?)
2. Pay £2.50 and wait a few days for a bog-standard
transfer
3. Walk two miles with a cheque in my hand to the
other bank and wait five days for the cheque to clear.
Anyway. I got it sorted. And I got my loan through,
and now I have to wait a few days for that to clear.
But to pay for my car by cheque, I'd have to wait ten
working days, which I don't get, I wonder if they send
it half way round the world for everyone o have a good
look at it and make sure they agree. So I agreed with
my dad he'd pay for it, and I'd write him a cheque
later when my loan has cleared. I WANT MY CAR NOW!!!
anyway, complications have set in, and I'm not very
happy about it. Its taking all the romance out of
shopping, and turning it into something cold and cruel
and seedy.
Second thing, I don't yet know if my car is a boy or a
girl, but either way it needs a name. I seem to be
veering towards a girls name at the moment, so it
might be a girl car. I have this feeling that we can
do this whole female bonding thing if it is a girl,
rather than risk a battle of the sexes if it is a
little boy car.
Names I've got to rule out include:
Ruby: A friend of my boss already has a car called
Ruby, and its the same colour and model. My car will
just be confused if she shares its name with another
car.
Scarlet (as in o'hara): primarily because I keep
thinking of Miss Scarlet. While some of the boys on
this list might not object to being able to say in all
honesty "I ride Scarlet!", I feel my car needs a name
of her own, otherwise it won't be my car. I like
individualism.
Daisy: A name I had thought of, until my boyfriend
told me his parents old car was called Daisy, because
it made a moo noise. So that name has been taken.
Blossom: Powerpuff girl. Shes not as cool as Buttercup
but she has that red-head thing going on. But shes
just not the cool one.
Buttercup: Powerpuff girl. Becuase I want to be
Buttercup.
Milly: I liked it at first, then I thought of Milly's
cookies. So I thought that was a bit corporate. Might
as well call her Starbucks.
Rose/Rosie: too many people with that name already. It
will distract me.
I thought of calling it "Blue", for one reason that it
will just confuse people. "Blue the red car". But
then, there's only a rotten boyband called that, and
heaven help me, but I don't want that association.
Additionally, the kids TV show, Blues Clues.
I've also ruled out any name that is a reference to a
Belle and Sebastian song in anyway. And I won't call
her Belle either. I just feel that would be verging on
the overly twee to name her after a Belle and Seb
song. Like naming a car isn't twee.
I saw my car today, sitting in the parking lot. In
some ways, I was a bit shy to go over. She just looked
as if she was waiting patiently. I'm slightly glad I
didn't, becuase I don't want her to think I don't love
her and I'm having cold feet. At the same time,
perhaps that was a bit rude of me. Maybe she saw me
and felt I was ignoring her. I hope she will be ok.
We'll have a chat when we formally meet.
I was so excited, I even held the car keys. It was
quite a moment, really. Just sitting in the dealers,
with the keys in my hand. But in the end, I had to
hand them back, and that hurt.
She looks very pretty, and lots of people have
complimented her appearance already. I know some of
you will think this is very sad* But its my first car!
a brand new baby! Shes going to take me to all sorts
of places. Another note, her numberplate is slightly
personalised, which is good. I misheard the lady on
the phone the first time. I thought she said SO EASY.
My car won't be easy! She'll be Secy.
ANyway, time to go and fulfill the subject line.
love
idles
*approximately 99% of the sinister population agreed
with this statement, according to a BBC poll.

Hello Sinister.
PICTURE THE SCENE
<<A sweaty college bar somewhere in North Yorkshire on a Friday, beer spilt
on tiled floor, the quiet acoustic bit from Ash's "Girl From Mars" blaring
from the PA. "I still love you the girl from..."
At this point, Asm abandons his position behind the decks, lauches himself
in the air, from the DJ booth, on a trajectory directly colliding with James
Thorniley, his head flung back, imaginary Gibson Flying V around his neck,
back arched.
"Mars!", screams Wheeler, as the distonion kicks in. Asm lands on the
slippery floor on his dickey knee. He'll be okay though, the adrenalin will
be enough to see him through. Then Thorniley, who had skillfullly avoided
the incoming deejay, plumets into Asm's shoulder and aforementioned knee,
and moshing is abruptly halted to avoid further injury.>>
It's quite a scene. James Thorniley nearly killed me on Friday with his
over-zealous dancing, but his public apolgies are acceptable, of course.
It's not bruised, James, just quite stiff. Go on Archel, or Big Stu, make
some smut out of that.
IT'S BETTER TO REGRET SOMETHING YOU HAVE DONE THAN TO REGRET SOMETHING YOU
HAVEN'T DONE
As seems to be the way of it these days, I've been neglecting you. The
pattern goes lurk-lurk-lurk-lurk-feel guilt-post, on loop. You can thank (?)
the boy Thorniley for prompting me this time. If it wasn't for his clumsy
actions at the weekend I'd still be silent. Probably.
I must say though that I've been reading a lot more than usual; I'm digging
this retro-sinister revival thing, with SUBJECT HEADINGS, and people
mispelling "great". Mummy I've Grazed My Knee's post was sheer nostalgia,
and all the better for it in a kinda Brit-pop Club Night way. Richard.
John. Gillander's post was inexplicable genius, and Ken's top 5 whinges were
brilliant, although I'd be tempted to make it a non-round Top 7, in order to
include http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/200303/msg00020.html,
and of course
http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/200304/msg00008.html. As these
post demonstrate in the most elegant and beautiful ways, the old days might
be the best, but modern-day sniping is still Sini-gold.
THIERRY HENRY WILL BE OUT FOREVER, HAVING SUSTAINED DEATH DURING ARSENAL'S
2-0 WIN OVER BOLTON
I can't stop playing CM4 at the moment, which is very sad, but I'm sure I'm
not alone here. Mark, how are you getting along with Torquay? Any good
tactics? Apparently, one of the "injuries" that the players can sustain in
the new game is death. It's quite realistic, y'know.
BOOEY POTTOM
I'll love you and leave you now. I'm sorry if you think I'm clogging up your
inbox - it's almost as if I've forgotten how to post these days. Speak to
you in a couple of months then.
love
Asm.x

I've not noticed anyone planning any London picnics for the near
future. So, why don't we have one!?
The main reason I'm mentioning this, really, is that I'm tentatively
planning a London holiday for nest week sometime. So, why don't we
have a Sinister picnic on June 14th, which is Saturday week. I'm not
sure where really - I suppose the main choices are Primrose Hill or
Greenwich, and I'm not really picky. If anyone's interested, let me
know and I'll post more definite details by the end of this week.

Hallo!
Finally I'll go to Berlin, I don't really know why, but I always wanted to
go to Berlin.
After a lot of hard work I decided that I worth a trip!
For the first time in my life I'll be travelling on my own, with my own
money, for me it will be completely different from all other trips Ive done
before.
The last week I've been planning what to do, what to see, so if there's
someone out there that can give me some advice of nice places to go or even
that would like to meet me, that would be great.
By the way, Ill be leaving Rome on the 15th of July to Frankfurt and I'll
be in Berlin on the 16th to the 22nd of July.
Tschuess!

Well, its definitely summer. You can tell because all the girls start
wearing funny shaped t-shirts that loop around here and there revealing
random bits of flesh just when you weren't expecting it.
Breifly glasgow reporting back. Jen described most of our wonderful trip
(http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/latest/msg00061.html) but
missed out later bits so I will just mention the gig.
Well, we were both quite tired from walking around in a massive circle
(we got lost) in the afternoon, so I was kind of regretting getting
standing tickets. Fortunately we sat out Mull Historical Society (or
Dull Historical Society, as Carsmile mused, do you see what he did
there?) and so had the energy for B&S. Having got quite drunk the night
before, I only had one bizarre and disgusting tasting bitter type drink,
and thus experienced B&S sober. They are really good that way too!
Stuart's trousers were difficult to take your eyes off, except to look
at the cellist replacing Isobel. She was quite stunning, sort of the
icing on the cake of Isobel leaving.
Someone mentioned there might be a new album on the way in November ish.
Haha.
Also I like the nostalgia about going back to classic sinister and
stuff. Haha. Lets all sit down and have a nice cup of tea and complement
each others cardigans and discuss how Stuart Murdoch would make a great
porn star.
It would seem that you should not hang around near me if you value your
knee caps. I recall recently cracking knees with Casarotto at sinister
football, then Miss Jennifer Knutsson maimed herself in Glasgow (at
least in part my fault), and yesterday it was Sam "Orc?" Walton's turn
to be horribly wounded in the mid leg region. Whoops.
Oh well,
If thou a bruised knee hast, Mr Samuel N. Walton,
Then knowest thee what it is to be
Jennifer Knutsson
Goodbye

I would like to add to dirty vicars endorsement of the jimmycake gig in
london. Manitoba are pretty grate too, you sinister hepsters will love it.
Now im not comparing the music, because I don't like to do that but anyone
that likes godspeed, jagga jazzist, mogwai, do make say think etcetera will
probably get a kick out of them. they kick fucking ass live.

I went to a concert last night by Japanese outfit Acid Mothers Temple
(actually various sub-projects thereof) and met a chap from popular local
band the Rollers/Sparkers. My special friend was wearing an ampersand
t-shirt, and this triggered a conversation about the band. Mr R/S is one of
those people who feel that B&S went all wrong when other members of the band
started being let write & sing songs. I asserted in the strongest possible
terms that this is an objectively false view which will not be tolerated
when the Republic of Tobit is inaugurated.
The Acid Mothers Temple bands rocked like motherfuckers. Main AMT guy
Kawabata Makoto engaged all forward thinking people with his guitar
dronings, which managed to incorporate that Occitanian tune 'La Novia' that
AMT love so much. The Pardons (Higashi Hiroshi & mad woman Cotton Casino)
served up some quirky synth music that some felt was the weak link of the
evening. Then our night was rounded off by Tsurabami (Makota on guitar,
Hiroshi on bass, and Emi Nobuko on drums (bollocks, do Japanese people have
their surnames first or second? Ah well, in this context it doesn't really
matter)). This was the most straightforwardly hard rocking of the three
acts.
It would be great if B&S were more like AMT... if they all lived on an
island together in a somewhat cultish setup, and all were in sub-bands which
staffed by subsets of the B&S collective. Eh, why would this be great? It
just would, trust me on this.
The Acid Mothers Temple Soul Collective are playing various other concerts
in these islands over the next week or so... if they play near you you
should go and see them.
In other developments, I feel I must tell you that important Dublin band The
Jimmycake are playing in London next Friday at the ICA with Manitoba (are
Manitoba an Irish band? I don't know). The Jimmycake's textured instumental
sounds might appeal to London based Sinister subbers, or it might not. There
will be a lot of them onstage, so you'll get good value for money.
and now I will roll away and leave you alone,
bless
DV

Hello sinister,
In the tradition of fucking up the program, there is no smut or sub-headings
in capitals, or whinging, in this post. Yeah, we're all individuals innit.
---
Yay, it seems that the summer is finally here. In honour of the arrival of
the summer I went schwimmin' yesterday. It was excellent although when I
got there I realised that the last time I went swimming before that was like
2 years ago, and that time I went swimming I couldn't swim! Haha, I
remembered those facts just as I was drowning at the bottom of the pool. It
wasn't even a Municipal Pool so there wasn't even a Junior Lifesaver (whose
friend are all Serious Ravers) to save me.
But I survived, due to my excessive rock and rollness that kept me afloat.
My rock and rollness otherwise known as the grabby bit on along the sides of
the pool.
----
Tamra Thomas talked (<-- alliteration!) about "Loneliness of The...", I
might be wrong but I think the book is actually called "Loneliness of the
Long Distance Runner", which incidentally is also the name of an IRON MAIDEN
RAWK EXTRAVAGANZA, mmmmm \mm/. Haven't read the book though.
And for those of you who like to do everything B&S, I've just searched on
the web and there's a FILM with that title (I guess it's made of the book),
available on DVD.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000089ASP/ref=sr_aps_dvd_1_1/202-7
525788-4983841
.. mmm Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner DVD on Amazon for £16.99...
incidentally, I wonder when the B&S DVD is coming out.

Anyhow.

Dear Sinister
The season has definitely arrived. The sun is shining, tress has flowered and blossomed and are all dressed in shiny green reflecting leaves. The surface is melting when ones walking his way down to the tube or the bus stop, of course if you dont have the comfort of a nice green lane one your way, but, the most interesting of the things is that people show the bizarre tendency of wearing sunglasses till about well midnight. Which is amazing as much as puzzling.
This is all quite a bit of nonsense. Anyway, in few weeks woo-uuhh Glasto!
Why woo uuh! I cant really go! Damn me! (indeed I will be on a short visit
To Rhode Island [this is a pale tentative of some content, sorry] in the United
States I was wondering if any sinister in the area fancy well might be a
pic-nic??? well that would be my first picnic in the US, not that I have been
there many times, and also my first conference there. Hope they wont select
me for a talk because that would be S!c!a!r!Y! = help = some drinks. I have
heard that there is still some residue of prohibitionist legislation in some states
there, is it true or just rumbling ignorance of mine?
Anyway, yes, Ill be back write in time to miss glasto, which this year appears to be terrific, even if our beloved ones are going to be there, which make it just a little bit less bitter missing it for.. just a few hours indeed. Accipicchia would say my granddad.
But !AGAIN! what about a picnic in London ?
[yes this was just a long story to get to this I would admit that!]
All the ones who didnt make it for glasto, or who just dont give a thing to that or just want to meet somewhere on the top of the hill, and have fish&chips, lalalalala, who dont do drugs (would you belive it?) and all his friends are on a holiday (to Glasto, probably, damn them!). Lets get you can and cake ready and bring a football and eventually your dancing shoes youll never know what will happen in the never ending Londons night .[ moreover it has
hile since last Mr. Ken P. Chu sinister galore picnic bowling weekender!..]
Looking at the calendar the most suitable day seems to be the 28th june so this is a relatively early call, but it is never too early if someone is kind of the messy I can be, and often am mhmhmh that sound like being a scary picnic mum (until is not !s!c!a!r!y! that can do ) .. yes, well if anyone fancy the idea please keep in contact!!!
More instruction to follow
Week end and distant island (though I think rhode island isnt a proper island is it gross ignorance exposed)
Yours
Stefano (almost steady-state)

[yes this was just a long story to get to this^Å I would admit that!]
All the ones who didn^Òt make it for glasto, or who just don^Òt give a thing to that or just want to meet somewhere on the top of the hill, and have fish&chips, lalalalala, who don^Òt do drugs (would you belive it?) and all his friends are on a holiday (to Glasto, probably, damn them!). Let^Òs get you can and cake ready and bring a football and eventually your dan
ever know what will happen in the never ending London^Òs night^Å.[^Åmoreover it has been a while since last Mr. Ken P. Chu sinister galore picnic bowling weekender!..]
Looking at the calendar the most suitable day seems to be the 28th june^Å so this is a relatively early call, but it is never to early if someone is kind of the messy I can be, and often am^Åmhmhmh^Å that sound like being a scary picnic mum^Å(until is not !s!c!a!r!y! that can do^Å) .. yes, well if anyone fancy the idea please keep in contact!!!
More instruction to follow
Week end and distant island (though I think rhode island isn^Òt a proper island is it^Å gross ignorance exposed)
Yours
Stefano (almost steady-state)
