Sinister: Ringo Ringo Rosy
by terry underwear 31 Mar '03

31 Mar '03

hello, I have just spent the last 5 hours writing the reference list (APA format in the unlikely event anyone is interested) for my thesis proposal. I feel ill. In happier new, as if Yellow Submarine, Octopus's Garden, Thomas the Tank Engine and Caveman weren't evidence enough that Ringo is easily the greatest living Beatle, he has now come out (if that sentence ended there it really would be big news) and called Paul stupidhead McCartney underhanded. You can read about it here: http://entertainment.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,4459,6211161%255E10431… The fact that the credit for production on his latest album is "Produced by Mark Hudson and Ringo Starr. Produced by Ringo Starr and Mark Hudson." kinds of says it all. Has anyone heard the Mendoza Line or Rasputina versions of Fox in the Snow? Here is what albums they are on: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&uid=10:40:15|PM&sql=H414859 A flick thru the Sinister archives reveals that the Mendoza Line cover is like "early Dylan singing Fox in the Snow" (Whiddon, 1999). And apparently Melora from Rasputina replaced Isobel for some shows on the last US tour (Almeh, 2002; Lisa, 2002; May; 2002). Casarotto (2003) described Eileen (2003) as having "a light but sure touch that attracts and sculpts emotion while never being remotely twee". I agree. Ken (2003) is a helpful chap isn't he? I only wish I could make use of all the helpful information and attend all that bowling, picnic and football action. Have fun everybody. referentially yours, terry References Almeh (2002).

Sinister: Places I Love (#1)
by MyMomSays＠aol.com 31 Mar '03

31 Mar '03

People from out-of-town usually go to Pete's Kitchen or the Denver Diner, both of which have convenient downtown locations, mere blocks away from LoDo and east Colfax. Before I lived in Denver, I have to say I preferred the Denver Diner. Just down the street is the exit to I-25 North, so after getting all hyped up on coffee all I had to do was swing down the road a piece and I was on my way back to my cozy little town of Greeley, Colorado--a stinky mid-sized city with no real buildings or excitement, but a lot of feedlots and cowboys. Once a friend and I went to the Denver Diner fairly late (1 a.m. or so) to catch some late-night waffles. A few tables to my left sat two very serious-looking men in black turtlenecks, seemingly involved in a very intense discussion. Soon, their discussion erupted into arguing, then very loud arguing, and then some chair shoving. A waitress showed up and told them to calm down. They sulked in their chairs a bit, then the arguing began again. Then, more chair shoving. The waitress approached them once more, this time with their plates of eggs. They finally settled down together over breakfast and forgot their troubles, angrily forking eggs benedict into their mouths. Breakfast brings us together, isn't that a nice message? I've only gone to Pete's Kitchen a few times before, most of the time I was so sleepily drunk I couldn't eat, or even drink their foul coffee (it's really gross and bitter). A few months ago my boyfriend and I ate breakfast there. I believe we ordered omelettes. We held hands most of the time we were there, but then dropped our hands by our sides everytime the waitress arrived to refill our coffee. She apologized and told us we may hold hands, she didn't mind. The other night I shared a taxi with two of my friends and some extremely drunk out-of-towner who offered to pay for our cab if we'd share it with him. "I have tons of money, money is no problem," He said to the cabbie, "but.. I don't have a girlfriend," he said to me and my friends. The cab driver told us all about his career impersonating Walter Kronkite and how it ruined his life. Apparently he used to work for a radio station doing impressions of Walter Kronkite, where he'd call up radio listeners and tell ! them they'd won some sort of prize, claiming to be ol' Walt. Once he called up a woman doing his schtick. When she found out he wasn't really Walter Kronkite at all, but some goofy DJ, she gave him the "Ukrainian Curse." After that, he lost everything he owned and his partner disappeared. Now he's a cabbie telling his passengers the same story, sort of like the Ancient Mariner. Doomed to tell the same story to people who will never really care, but instead post it to a list where thousands of people will not care, and not even bother to repeat the story (I am not calling you all apathetic--I just think that if I were reading this post right now, I wouldn't bother). Oh yeah, the cabbie also recommended the drunk guy go to Pete's Kitchen to sober up. The real diner gem of Denver, Colorado is the Breakfast King. Unlike the two aforementioned diners, The Breakfast King is located alongside the interstate, right next to a strip club called "The Paper Tiger" (Where the strippers are rumored to be amputees who shimmy around to Whitesnake.. these rumors must be confirmed, or denied. Any takers?). The Breakfast King requires that their waitresses wear starched white dresses with orange aprons. Most of these waitresses accessorize flamboyantly to make up for their plan uniforms. My favorite waitress at the Breakfast King is Roxy, who likes to wear long spangly (and hopefully holiday-themed) earrings. She calls the girls "baby doll"--she calls boys "sweetheart". When Stevie was visiting, she oohed and aahed over his accent (I think she may have had a crush on him), then gave him free pancakes. All the waitresses at the Breakfast King smoke Benson & Hedges 120's, and sit at a table in the very back and smoke and gossip w! hile they work. At the Breakfast King, during any given moment, there is guaranteed to be a family of four or five, all geared up in flannel and mullets, chainsmoking and eating corned beef hash or t-bone steaks and eggs. It's just so B.K. I love that place, and I eat there completely unironically, even though it may seem the opposite.

Sinister: London has let me down a pint (5th/6th apr London Picnic and Bowling DETAILS)
by Kenneth P Y Chu 31 Mar '03

31 Mar '03

So yes, this is a REMINDER of the bowling and picnicking FUN that is going to be happening this weekend 5th/6th April! How exciting! Here are the details for both events. SINISTER BOWLING WEEKENDER (AKA APRIL SINISTER FEST aka All Both Today And Tomorrow's Parties) BOWLING Sat 5th Apr ------------------- Take the sin-heads bowling take them bowling. Yup we are off bowling again this Saturday 5th Apr at Rowens Entertainment, Finsbury Park, at 2pm! The bowling place is right outside the Finsbury Park tube station, so it would make sense to meet there! There are two (i think) different exits, I will be waiting from 2pm-2:15pm, at the exit that's nearest to the bowling (so if you don't see me in one, then try the other exit), it is the exit where you can buy train tickets from. TRAVELLERS FROM OUTSIDE LONDON When you get to London (if you're taking the train/coach) you'd probably end up at one of these places, to get to finsbury park... Euston - Take the victoria Line Northbound to Finsbury Park. Kings Cross - Take the Picadilly Line Northbound to Finsbury Park. Victoria - Take the (er) Victoria Line Northbound to Finsbury Park. London Bridge - Take the Northern Line Northbound to Kings Cross, then change to the Picadilly Line Northbound to Finsbury Park. If you plan to STAY IN LONDON for the PICNIC the next day, you can get yourself a "Weekend Travelcard zone 1+2" that enables you unlimited Tube and Bus travels for the whole weekend. PICNIC Sun 6th Apr ------------------ On 6th Apr we will be having a fun ol' picnic on top of Primrose Hill in Camden, at about 2:30pm, cos it's nice there. Primrose Hill can be a bit tricky to find, but basically you travel to Camden Town tube station, and walk up a road called "Parkway" and then when there is a big split junction thing you take the road that points to the 2 o'clock direction. To make it easier, we will be meeting up at the Odeon cinema that's on "Parkway" at 2pm-2:15pm, and then we can all go up the hill together, and also buy booze from the Off License on the way up. Bring food and drinks and fun stuff! Apparently another Belle and Sebastian internet group (sponsored by the Dirty Vicar) wants to CHALLENGE US AT FOOTBALL too, on that hill that day at some point. Yeah, so join in the footballing fun. TRAVELLERS FROM OUTSIDE LONDON When you get to London (if you're taking the train/coach) you'd probably end up at one of these places, to get to Camden Town... Euston - Take the Northern Line (either branch) Northbound to Camden Town. Kings Cross - Take the Northern Line Northbound to Camden Town. Victoria - Take the (er) Victoria Line Northbound to Euston, then change to Northern Line (either branch) Northbound to Camden Town. London Bridge - Take the Northern Line Northbound to Camden Town. Get yerself a zone 1-2 one day travelcard. -------------------------- SUMMARY ------- Sat 5th Bowling, Finsbury Park - meet 2pm-2:15pm Finsbury Tube Station Sun 6th Picnic, Primrose Hill - meet 2pm-2:15pm Odeon Cinema Camden Town Any problems e-mail me. If you get lost on the day call me on 07967 755446. That's it! (Thank fuck for that) See you all soon.

Sinister: my twentieth century
by Christine Irene 30 Mar '03

30 Mar '03

>From baptism to alcohol hi everyone. here i am, at my very favourite of all places: the library. What is usually a pleasurable experience has me riddled with irritation. On my quest for the collected plays of samuel beckett, i have searched the library in a wild goose chase for said collection. i thought that i was just missing some call number that was visible only to those patient enough to see it. nah. i finally asked a librarian for assistance. much to my delight, she couldn't find the bloody thing either. i was delighted in knowing that i wasn't being some aggrevated crack head, it really was a devil of a thing to find. finally, we found it mixed in with the movie section, not in the literary 800's as logic would think it to be. weird. at least i wasn't the only one who found it boggling. now if only i can find Casete/410/CHO. grrr. in spite of all of that, i really do love the library. so i am back in chicagoish now. my travels to minnesota were nice, though i felt really ill yesterday, so i returned a day sooner than anticipated. i wouldn't mind being sick in minnesota, per se, i just didn't want to occupy the couch of my cousin and his flat mate. i didn't want to be in the way so i thought it best to hop in the car, sing silly songs, and head on home. i didn't speed or anything, i was so proud. i tend to go a bit fast, esp on the highways and biways of america. I have heard many a horror story about Wisconsin police though. If you don't pay the $200 speeding ticket on site, you are taken into custody. can you imagine, me being arrested? though were i to be arrested, it would be for something lame like that. Inmate #1: I am in for murdering my husband and his 9 gay lovers with a spoon, I'm innocent though, I swear! Inmate #2: I am in for selling heroin to 6 year olds, I'm innocent though, I swear! Me: Um, I'm in for.....going 73 in a 65...guilty as charged. see, lame. ah well. i s'pose i should go and search for noam chomsky now. grrr. sodding dewey and his fucking decimals...or lack thereof in this case. irritating. kevin, you are a library science major...help me!!! jay with an e....you work in a law library, any advice? oh yes. to clarify something. in my last post, the really angry one (as my posts go anyway), i mentioned writing a dissertation. i used dissertation in a "lengthy paper often assigned to college or university student" way more than a doctoral thesis kind of way. no graduate school yet i'm afraid. ah well. i must go, it's someone else's turn i gather from the evil stare from this girl next to me. love and decimals ~stine __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Sinister: Looper? Quoi?
by Mark Casarotto 30 Mar '03

30 Mar '03

Chippy Eileen does, indeed, rule. I hope the other Sinister storysmiths read her carefully - she has a light but sure touch that attracts and sculpts emotion while never being remotely twee. This is a good thing. IMHO. She doesn't half name-check Looper a lot, though. So, (some) Americans. You don't think it matters who you vote for. You're wrong. Politics concerns almost everything we do and even think - it is our responsibility to vote for the people we hope will do the doing and thinking on our behalf well, honestly and with strong belief. If George W Bush is that man to you, Christine, then I applaud your proactive consideration. But the moment you get apathetic, then you are handing the baton directly to people whose views oppose your own and their ambitions may well create a worse situation for you. Each non-vote is implicitly a vote for the worse, and each non-voter may well be adding to their own suffering and the suffering of everyone around them. A vote for Nader was not a wasted vote. But a vote for no-one was. It's far too early on a Sunday morning to be even thinking about politics. Mark xxx __________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Sinister: expectations
by chippy eileen 29 Mar '03

29 Mar '03

the young ones darling, we're the young ones and the young ones shouldn't be afraid.. the voice of cliff richard drifts up the stairs from the living room. to me, its just an old song with nice lyrics. to frank and margaret its another place and time. those early, early days. trips to london they thought their parents didn't know about (separate rooms, of course, these were different times). stolen kisses. a time when everything seemed full of possibility, and promise. a time when just being alive held its own magic. their freedom stretched out before them, and, apart from a few rather difficult months in the early 1970s, they would share their freedom, compromise it for one another, forever. i have the night off from work. saturday night. i should be out, surveying my own freedom. perhaps finding that somebody to compromise it for. not tonight, though. not for a while. east langerston is a small village (two pubs, a chip shop and a woman who no longer goes from house to house cutting old ladys' hair, because she has her own salon.) and small villages leave nowhere to hide. especially when you find you have become bigger than you ever meant to be. i'll explain. an ink polaroid. this is me and shelley macdonald sitting in the bull. shelley has changed a little from the days before i left. i remember her, the girl she once was. minette, her mother wanted to call her. minette...its exotic. minette would stare at me disparagingly from under layers of eyeshadow. the shining lips would purse, and she'd look away, in search of better people. you'll see she's changed in this picture. yes, that's her, on the other side of the table, drinking a pint of cider which she's too young to buy. a friend cut her hair. spiky, mostly black, except for the the blue she put in herself, just after she had her upper ear pierced. yes, that does say 'system of a down' on her t-shirt. most of the people in the pub look away from us. some regard us, and shelley in particular, with thinly disguised sneers, similar to the sneer she once wore herself with such aptitude. i'll play you the ink cd. it will make things clearer. 'but eileen, if you're gay, you shouldn't be ashamed of it. you should just admit it. be what you are. don't be afraid to stand out.' 'shelley..i'm not gay' 'look, i don't know why you're denying it. this is me, remember. you could tell me anything. if it wasn't for you i might never have changed. god, i look at the way i was then and i can't believe its the same person.' i'll skip this track, she has had too much to drink, and continues in this vein for a while. in the end, i just let it wash over me. it is nice of her to say i inspired her personal changes. apparently, it all stemmed from the day i made her listen to a looper album. how this led to the vision in black she has now become is somewhat mystifying. she says it 'made her listen to weird music'. in the year since, she has progressed from looper to korn. not, in my view, the best progression. but that is her decision. she admires me for prompting the change. i tell her she would have done it herself, given time. so.. when she tells me i shouldn't be afraid to be different, she means it. i am letting her down by insisting on my heterosexuality. she is disappointed, and i am tired of the conversation, but i only have myself to blame... another ink polaroid, and cd. same table, same pub, a week earlier. andy has returned from london for the weekend. he has asked me out specifically. for the sake of old times, i have accompanied him. i enjoy his company. i always did. although the memories of a night left alone, picking at a vodka bottle and contemplating the virginity he'd so thoughtlessly left me with still remain. but he thinks everything is okay now. he has discovered my 'secret': 'for god's sake, eileen. if i can do it, why can't you? can't you at least be honest with yourself? look, just say it. all you have to do is say it. you know i won't tell anyone.' 'andy...' 'it wasn't easy for me, either, you know. but it will get easier, over time. people come to accept it..' 'oh for god's sake. yes, andy, if it makes you happy.. i'm gay. gay gay GAY GAY GAY! i'm a GREAT BIG BLOODY LESBIAN!' the people in the pub stare just long enough to let me know they have heard, and then return to their lives. some of the older regulars tut. somebody, somewhere, mutters 'tell us something we didn't know..'. i pick up my coat, and i leave. to confront margaret, my adopted mother who, for reasons best know to herself, has asked my gay ex-boyfriend to coax me out of the closet. so far, it has been a difficult year. the young ones shouldn't be afraid to live, love there's a song to be sung.. it was the night of my last post when frank asked me: 'that woman you lived with... you weren't just sharing a house, were you?' as simple as that. he told me he'd love me whatever, and i should try and be happy. he cried a bit. later that week, margaret cried a lot, and told me i had to follow my dreams. she has spent the last two months trying to procure me a girlfriend. i am disappointing them all by refusing to acknowledge my true self. if they can accept it, why can't i? the last time i was in the bull, jason baggs came to sit with me and bought me a drink. i remember jason. most girls from our school do. he was in the year below me, but he'd sit behind me on the school bus, with the older girls who would compete for the empty seat beside him. i was suprised to find myself a girl again.. intimidated, blushing, knocking the drinks back too quickly... laughing at all of his jokes, pretending i found his conversation interesting.. at the end of the night, i gave him my mobile number. i only heard a snatch of the conversation as i left the pub.. 'but she's .... isn't she?' 'she won't be after i've finished with her..' and they cheered. i was a challenge. i tore his number up. i am a challenge. but not in the sense that they might think. 'cos we may not be the young ones very long..' the song played, as frank patted me on the arm, and told me he understood. his favourite song. i hope i didn't spoil it for ever. i know where the song used to take him. i remember, a month or so ago, late at night after the chippy was closed, when he and margaret had both had too much to drink. we turned off the television and they put on old records. i sipped at my glass of baileys as they held each other and swung unsteadily from side to side, their eyes full of another time. but i suspect that there will be times, when that song plays, when he finds himself in the back room of his house, talking to his adopted daugher about her lesbian lover. comforting her as she cries, and trying to hold back his own tears. i never wanted to be this big. i never wanted to feel this large in the lives of those around me. i shall put on my own records. i shall block out the world. i shall let them take me to the places they used to take me. i will sit in the darkness again, waiting for the sound to hit my eardrums. i will find the old eileen. the one i left several months ago, to find a new life, in the big city. i miss her. i want songs of small towns, and small minds. i want songs of individuals refusing to be what everybody thinks they should be. i want songs of people who just want to hide, and be quiet, and be true to whatever exists at that moment in time. i will sit in the darkness, and i will contemplate having a boy, on that last bus out of town. or perhaps a girl. just to make them all happy. eileen __________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Sinister: Plant Eating Cats...
by Mayfly5502＠aol.com 27 Mar '03

27 Mar '03

Hello Sinister! It is a pretty day in the state of Rhode Island...hope it stays like this all week. About the Radiohead album coming out..I think I have to agree with Stine on that. I didn't vote for either Bush or Gore either..but it would have been the same no matter who got in office. I guess all of this war stuff was inevitable. I just might skip buying the new album and just borrow it off a friend before I dare spend my hard earned money...hah. Even though the sun may shine today...there is some shitty stuff going on. My brother is to be married in May..and shortly after his wedding he has a good chance of having to go out to the war if it is still going on. He's in the Navy..and so is his fiance..I guess they expected it. But if he goes..I will miss him very much. :( I woke up this morning to find that my fat evil cat ate three of my beautiful plants that were in my living room! I was quite angry seeing that he had more than enough food to eat. I dunno..sometimes he is crazy...it is very likely to come home from work every now and then and find him bathing himself in the toilet. This is when I know he wants a bath...very cleanily cat. He doesn't even go outside..but yet he finds it important to shower at least once every two months. The wonderful weather that we have been having lately has put me in wonderous moods. I find that everytime I get in the car to drive somewhere I either listen to tigermilk or the boy with the arab strap. On occasion I enjoy driving and listening to Legal Man so I can sing along. :) Very geeky..but I must entertain myself somehow while driving. I guess I have talked long enough...I hope everyone has a wonderful day! I am off to work for the afternoon/evening. -Diane +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: radiohead
by Christine Irene 27 Mar '03

27 Mar '03

so someone mentioned the new Rh album....it is being released 9 june apparently. i love radiohead, but have always maintained that thom yorke needs to shut the fuck up. he does nothing but complain about everything. the thing that i find most amusing is, in all of his rants about Bush, he has NEVER given a reason to dislike his administration. He always says something stupid like "he's a dumb fuck" or similar. if this is how you feel, mr yorke, fine, but substantiate a bit more if you wouldn't mind. then i read an interview with him regarding us policies with iraq, he was completely wrong on pretty much each count he referenced. the things being discussed weren't opinions either, they were factual things that he was wrong on. i sent him an email at the radiohead site. i'm sure he'll never see it, but i had to send it. and him always complaining about capitalism? funny, capitalism is great when Capital Records and BMG are cutting him royalty checks. this is why the world is so fucked up. people turn to the likes of thom yorke and whoever their favoirite singer/actor is to get political information. most of them just don't know what they are talking about. i will respect anyone's opinion, whether i agree with it or not, if they can give a valid, factual reason why they hold the opions that they do. most people just say "the president sucks" "the prime minister sucks" "free tibet" "save the spotted owl" whatever, just to make the pages of the NME and sell a few more records. grrr. on top of that, the new Rh album is titled "Hail to the Theif" which i think is just obnoxious. I have always questioned the way we elect presidents in the US. a week before the last election i wrote a dissertation on how annoyed i was that the electoral college, not the people, elect the president. then it became a huge source of contention. the funny thing with the last election was, regardless of who won, people would have said he cheated to get there. regardless of who won, we would still be in this war. at least pres. bush was able to build a good cabinet. i didn't vote for the guy, nor did i vote for gore, but those who say this situation would have been different whether it was gore or fucking snoopy in the white house, need to delve a bit deeper into the history of iraqi/us/world relations in the past 34 years. i am done now. ~stine __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
