Sinister: Given A Voice
by Mayfly5502＠aol.com 28 Feb '03

28 Feb '03

Hi Sinister. I am new to the list and a few weeks ago I was given my voice (thank you Miss Honey!) after reading everything you all have had to say. It has all been very interesting and I will not deliberately commit list abuse. I'm an 18 year old female from the little state of Rhode Island in the US. I wish I could be as close to B&S as some of you are. :( I first discovered the lovely B&S one afternoon in January of 1997 when I wanted to test out a new band I had never heard of. So I picked up Tigermilk and instantly fell in love. Ever since then...I have been as much a devoted fan as possible. All of you seem like great people and I look forward to being a part of such a great community. Thanks for taking the time to read this! Hope everyone has a good night. Very sad about Mr. Rogers...great man. May his soul rest in peace. -Diane p.s I wish I could have the pleasure of seeing B&S in Glasgow.... :( +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: When two tribes go to war, money's all that you can score
by Gardiner, Stuart 28 Feb '03

28 Feb '03

The latest fashion seems to be to be smug about having tickets to the Glasgow gig in May. And, as ever, I am a slave to fashion. (That is to say, fashion dresses me up in rubbish clothes, whips me and tells me I must try harder). Of course I am equally excited (nearly) about finally having the chance to go to the Winchester Club the night before, so I look forward to seeing you all there. All I've got to do now is find somewhere to stay - any offers gratefully received... In another bit of B&S news, the NME website is reporting (http://www.nme.com/news/104320.htm) that the new album is being produced by Trevor Horn. Don't know where they got this information from, last I heard it hadn't been finalised, but at least we can talk about it now. For those who don't know (and I admit, until a couple of weeks ago I didn't), Trevor Horn produced much of the best music to come out of the eighties, including Frankie Goes To Hollywood and Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas". And just in case you thought he was a relic from another era, his record is currently Number 1 in the UK singles charts ("All The Things She Said" by Tatu). Not bad going really. Nice to see a bit of smut reappearing on the list, it's been missed. It was so much more entertaining when Archel was still single and smutty. Now we have to rely on Ken. After all, what is this list for apart from trying to impress members of the opposite sex? (Hopefully something else actually, because I'm rubbish at that). So I'll just subtly drop into the conversation that everything they say about tall men with big feet is true.

Sinister: Bubbling with excitement
by Paulo Stinsoni 28 Feb '03

28 Feb '03

Greetings earthlets, Borag Thung (or something like that, I can't remember too well now) Yeah, and I'd like to add to Ken's words: >so I'm going to brag HERE instead! > >WOOOO I GOT MY TICKET! Wahey Glasgow Gig here I come. > I've got my ticket too. Standing at the front, or rather dancing (if there's room). I'm practising my dance steps as we speak. Theresa (the lovely) suggested we create a complete "Chorus line" style dance for special songs and a generic one for other songs we weren't expecting. If you see us there, looking a bit awkward and silly, come and join us. I can't wait. Yours Paulo Yazaar, Yazaar! _________________________________________________________________ Worried what your kids see online?

Sinister: dim sum a-tasting
by Kenneth P Y Chu 28 Feb '03

28 Feb '03

Today on the way back home I'm telling you I caught the sun, or I would have if there were still sunlight when I leave work. Anyway, on my way back from work I went on the tube, and a very familiar voice started talking to me... "I spent the summer wasting, the time was passed so pleasantly..." .. well yeah I did too... Wait! Stuart Murdoch is right next to me, I turned round, and the only person I saw wasn't Stuart Murdoch, but instead a girl with her walkman on (and 3948 other people - it was a very packed train). It turned outed that she had the whole of TWATTYBUS album on her walkman and so it made my journey home a whole lot better because she had it on loud enough so I could listen to it. Unfortunately my journey home was made a lot worse by the fact that the man next to me REALLY SMELLED - like those cuddly toys that people keep sending Isobel. His odour of old prison food took a long time to pass me by. And at the time I happened to have the GLASGOW B&S GIG ticket in my pocket too because I'd just got that in the post this morning on the way to work, and I was going to Brag about this fact to that girl had the train not been so packed.. so I didn't.. so I'm going to brag HERE instead! WOOOO I GOT MY TICKET! Wahey Glasgow Gig here I come. Yes Anyway. Brighton on Saturday, from London, what to do? As Archel said there will be a train/bus DOUBLE WHAMMY from London Victoria at 13:38. The best idea is probably to get there for 13:00, as from past experience we know that it takes ages to get a ticket, and then off to Brighton we all go. Easy! Complication factor = 0. Ahh yes. Students getting drunk and horny. Those were the days. Just remember what Frankie sez, kids. Ken P.S.: Nice to see the Australian massiv are getting into the bowling spirit! One day, there should be a Sinister Bowling ASHES. The Trixie OF X scoreline was obviously: a TRIX SHOT!

Sinister: Northern Lights
by Dirty Vicar 27 Feb '03

27 Feb '03

Hello Sinister, I write to you again from sunny Ireland, to tell you about how I am not going to go to the B&S gig in Glasgow. It does seem like an appealing prospect, but my glamorous assistant and I have decided to throw away our money on a weekend in Reykjavik. I hear it's a real party town and the kind of place where swingers like us will be welcome. I also have the vague idea it's a somewhat indie place, but that may be because Jaz Coleman of the Killing Joke fled there to escape nuclear war, and also Saton Albarn owns a pub there. I went to see some of that live music last night. Two *local* bands. First up was Neo Supervital, who is this bloke who plays electropop tinged music all on his own. He is rather amiable, but playing music like that he should maybe be wearing a silver cape or something like that. He did the odd thing of playing a cover version of 'Theme From Chalets' by The Chalets, the other band on the bill, which was a larf, particularly as he did all the squeaky girly vocals in a squeaky girly fashion. A crazy world. The Chalets rocked hard as usual. Actually, I don't think they used to rock quite as hard as this, but as a dirty vicar I certainly approve of their new rocky direction. Many of the crowd weren't quite so convinced, with applause and suchlike being a bit desultory. But such is Dublin. Soon they will play Glasgow and you can learn to love them for yourself. Beyond that, I'm trying to finally clear the mountain of tapes I've promised to do for people. The forward thinking sounds of Acid Mothers Temple are filling up the Vicarage even as we speak, so Mr Anscombe's life can look forward to being just a little bit more spaced out in the relatively near future. beyond that, I have little to say. Those of you who hang out in *THE OTHER PLACE* might bump into me next weekend in Nottingham. bless, DV +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: working is the curse of the drinking classes
by Christine Irene 27 Feb '03

27 Feb '03

hi everyone. stine here. upon reading caleb ben moore's post, i couldn't help but agree. I have been sad about the passing of mr. rogers all day. it's funny, even at the age of 25, it still doesn't occur to me that people are mortal. there are certain people who, in their passing, i missed a great deal. people whom i have never met. people who, in one instance, i never really even listened to. i remember when joey ramone died. i was just sick about it for days. i was never really a fan of the ramones, but i wasn't not a fan either. i think that they were instrumental, though perhaps not literally, in creating a path, and in many ways, and ideal, for the music that many of us listen to now. i remember listening to an interview with bono, or bongo if you're dirty vicar. :o) anyway. he was talking about how amazed he was when he learned that as joey ramone lay dying in his bed, he requested to hear the U2 song "In A Little While." Bono said that he had never felt more successful at anything, as he did when he heard that. that one of his heroes was thinking of a song he wrote in the final moments of his life. . Bono then went on to explain that that song was written as a sort of requieum for a hangover and after joey ramone's passing, it took on this beautiful, gospel quality. weird. i have been sick again lately. i don't know why. i have been eating what i am supposed to and not eating what i'm not supposed to. it's so bloody frustrating. i dream of the day when I can comfortably put on jeans, not having to worry about how swollen my stomach may be on a given day. dreaming of the day when I can wear cute clothes again, instead of the overalls and adidas warm up's that grace my wardrobe now. i wonder if i will ever get this "condition" of mine under control. if i have been diagnosed with the right thing even. it seems to me that after 3 or 4 months, you should start to feel a little bit better if you're behaving according to schedule. grr. i have also been plagued with something else. well, plagued is probably a scoach too dramatic a word. i have a week off in a couple of weeks. i was going to go to dallas, but i don't think i am going to anymore. i was thinking of going to minnesota to visit family for a few days, but i don't know that i want to do that either. i would love to go back to england/ireland, unfortunately that is just not an option right now. i need to get away from here though. i need to get away from my life for awhile. to go somewhere where i don't have $20,000 in medical bills. somewhere where i don't have to deal with my family constantly asking "How are you doing?" I know they mean well, some of them anyway, i'm just tired of it. let's see. in the past 9 months i have a) been in and out of hospitals b) been sick for the better part if that time c) gotten into so much trouble with money that I doubt my life will ever be better and d) lost my father...on christmas of all days. I'm doing swell. couldn't be better. jaysus. sorry bout that. my family is driving me nuts though. if any of you would be interested in a trade you can reach me at 555-9532. :o) ah well. onto bigger and better things. much love to all of you. i'm so glad that you're my neighbours. :o) in the words of oscar wilde....."in a little while, surely you'll be mine. in a little while i'll be there. in a little while, this hurt will hurt no more." ~stine "i can resist everything except temptation." __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Sinister: today's headlines, it's a sad day in the neighborhood
by caleb ben moore 27 Feb '03

27 Feb '03

i woke up this morning and learned that Mr. Rogers has died. he died in his home last night. mr. mcfeeley announced it this morning. mr. rogers is just one of those people who you take for granted, assuming they will always be around. a person who's sole goal in life was to make people feel better about themselves and the world around them. he touched me and so many other people, helping us to be nicer, to not be scared, to smile and be ourselves. the headlines this morning speak of nuclear arms, impending war, growing alcoholism among youths, and the death of Mr. Rogers. it's a very very sad day. but i know that his sentiments and songs and ideas will live on in all of us. the neighborhood of make-believe will live on. .caleb ben p.s. please hug someone today and tell them that you love them. ===== "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle." ~Plato "Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction." -Antoine de Saint-Exupery __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Sinister: the final countdown
by R.Playforth＠sussex.ac.uk 27 Feb '03

27 Feb '03

OK, last slick of picnic stuff I promise. The best train to get if coming from London will, I think, be the 13.38 from Victoria. THERE ARE ENGINEERING WORKS on the line all weekend, so a replacement bus will go from Haywards Heath to Brighton :( But it's not far. The bus is supposed to arrive at Brighton station at 15:10, so I will be there to meet it. Anyone not getting that train/bus and arriving after about 15:30 should probably head straight for the George pub at the bottom of Trafalgar Street (left turn down the hill under bridge outside station). Or just phone me on 07944 074873. Space is VERY tight at mine overnight now, so if you're not one of those already booked in (Liz, Rob, Robin, Ken, Mark) (and Ian???) be prepared to either get home, stay elsewhere, or sleep in the bath or other small space. (Which you're welcome to try.) Bring food and drink (mainly drink) and possibly an umbrella! And presents for me. Or Mark as it's his birthday soon. Love Archel xxx PS. Another date for your diaries might be Monday 28th April, as the Go Betweens are playing at the London Astoria. I am thinking of taking Tuesday off work and going up there, if anyone wants to accompany me/possibly put me up for the night? ****************** Visit www.buzzwords.ndo.co.uk for the best new writing on the web.

Sinister: Forwarded news from Banchory
by Linda Kerr 27 Feb '03

27 Feb '03

Hi everyone Below is an email from Katrina regarding the concert. While I am here, just to say that if you do post a drunken email to sinister, firstly it is probably not a good idea, but only probably, as some people function better that way, but also, it isn't really necessary to apologise - well-intentioned as it might be It is sweet to try to make up for it, but there have been a flurry of these recently. Also, please try to remember that short (ie two line) posts have to be really, really good ("Stuart is on the telly now!", rather than "I passed my exams.") Cheers everyone, and hi to the picnic people in Brighton on Saturday, and sinister picnics everywhere.

Sinister: bowling big balls, planning perth picnics
by terry underwear 27 Feb '03

27 Feb '03

hi, There was some Sinister bowling action last weekend here in Perth. Present were jovial Jeremy, monumental Marcus (an honourary Sinisterine for the night), tremendous Trixie Firecracker (who is visiting Perth at the moment) and marvellous me. Highlights included Marcus' 150 something score and several strikes from everyone. Most impressive though was Trixie's amazing feat of bowling a gutter ball, then a foul, then a strike. To the naked (or contacted lensed or glassesed[?]) eye this may simply appear to be a demonstration of her amazing array of skills, but on the scorecard it read*: Marcus 5/ 9- 7/ ... Terry X X X X X X X ... Jeremy 7/ 81 9/ ... Trixie OF X 61 ... Trixie of X. Cool hey? Maybe you had to be there... Talking about having to be there, if you are in Perth you have to be there tomorrow (Friday) at our Sinister Picnic in King's Park! Meet at my house (6/16 Monash Avenue, Nedlands, Ph: 9389 5001) at 12:30pm. There will be frisbee throwing, some football kicking, sausages, beer, gin, passionfruit wine and assorted snacky stuff. And Belle and Sebastian on the stereo of course. Plus there is an excellent playground with swings and dinosaurs and turtles! bye, terry *one of these scores may have been grossly exaggerated.
