Sinister: if they were me and I was you / would you like a present too?

Sinistahhh! Hannah said: "Where is Mr Brennan???? I think it is time he posted again" Ahh, me public. I only seem to post these days because of good ideas (such as Ink Polaroid day) or I've been prompted to do so by people. Sort of like encores. If I could construct a decent post, this paragraph would be all about encores or, as I call them: "The Bit After The Gig Where They Play The Good Songs". B&S encores have been discussed extensively in the archives. Look at archives! Go! See! I've seen two B&S encores. Happily, the first was at the RAH when their touring equipment included a teeny-tiny box with Monica Queen inside so they could perform Lazy Line Painter Jane. There was also a Beans-led cover of Everyday People that RAWKED. They also RAWKED the following year with a cover of Another Girl, Another Planet which almost made up for the non-MQ LLPJ. My Favourite non-B&S encore is probably Lambchop covering This Corrosion at my local fleapit venue. This may explain my girlfriend's assertion that I have latent goth tendencies. Or it could be because all my socks are black. Like everyone else who doesn't post anymore, I started a blog. It's a useful place for writing stuff that won't go elsewhere and for cleaning up stuff that I've already written elsewhere (such as any good bits in this post). It's also rarely updated and somewhat awkward to read so I'm not linking to it. I should probably take the time, also, to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY HONEY! So I will. And so should you. I miss Honey.

Sinister: Forget Love, I'd rather fall into chocolate
by Laura Llew 13 Feb '03

13 Feb '03

I've decided to make GayJay a stuffed dalek to use as a teddy bear if it's the last thing I do. Of course, with my history of clumsiness and any sharp object - even one as small as a sewing needle - it might very well BE the last thing I do. Nevertheless, big thanks to him for setting up the Valentine's Day present exchange as I now have a English darling as my sweetheart - for one day at least. After that I have to go back to my tactic of, "As long as there are illegal aliens who want citizenship, Laura Llew will have a date." Why would I even bother with Sinister - if not to take advantage of young English and Scottish boys who want to live in America? I promised to start posting regularly and then the very next week I neglect my duties. However, my ink polaroid is like my life - underexposed. So there you go. However, I decided that I must post today as it is: MISS HONEY'S BIRTHDAY Oh yes! Purveyor of Smut, List Mummy, Minxalicious Milkmaid, and Princess of all that is pink and fluffy deserves all of your on-line greetings and well wishes. Or at least her very own chocolate covered cutie. I would volunteer to help round one up but I seem to be lacking in the ability to procure such a find so perhaps Miss Linda shall have better luck. If you (like me) miss Honey's posts go to http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/199912/msg00205.html and remember the good old days. Honey rules. For you Sinister archivists out there, I shall inform you that February is the MONTH OF THE TART! Along with Honey the month is filled with the likes of Miss Maddie Minx celebrating her day on the 17th, the ever patient Caitlin's was on the 4th, and the loveable Ree's is on the 22nd. Tartastic Quotes: "But they gave me a purple lollipop, and who can be upset with a lolli in her mouth?" (Ree) "The perils of being a teenage slut. It costs a fortune in accessories." (Miss Maddie Minx) Are you sure it's 'frondage' that you like?" (Caitlin) Now I shall bid adieu by sending big props out to Alyson Snowball and her Which Belle & Sebastian Song Character Are You. I'm Judy. I dream of horses. I'm staying inside - making Basic Eight quizzes which I wish had as great as graphics as the end of results but they don't because I suck. See for yourself at: http://quizilla.com/users/petullant/quizzes/Which%20Member%20Of%20The%20Bas… Love & WWDPD hipflasks*, Laura * Carsmile Steve: the answer is in the flask. _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Self-adhesion made a glue of me
by Kenneth P Y Chu 13 Feb '03

13 Feb '03

Already this has been mentioned a couple of times.... February 14th. Arrgh. And then thinking about February 14th I realised that it can't be that bad (especially if you write February 14th in full like this - but if I were to spell it FABruary 14th it would be overkill, ironic even - REDBUary on the other hand, would be excellent). It can't be worse than say Christmas without a family... like, the day itself isn't that bad, it's just everyone else having a blast that makes it bad! Although it is true that when families get together they don't get all snogative all of a sudden! No matter where I go there are going to be much sightings of coupling (not to be confused with copulating which might be at least amusing to watch), and that wouldn't be nice. So I fully intend to stay put at home even if I am getting some very lucrative (a word I keep confusing with ludicrous!) offers to go out. Because sleeping in bed at home is the only way to escape! Oh shit I hope my flatmates won't be having romantic dinners indoors. Hopefully next year's Valentine's Day would be better because the !B!&!S! !K!A!R!A!O!K!E! !D!V!D! (does DVD stand for a "Dirty Vicar Device"?) will have been out, and I can Sing The Night Away (by singing Wandering Alone), maybe more appropriately "Get me away from here, I'm dying" or "I don't love anyone". Or just marvel at Big Stu's sexy body. I look forward to Fabruary 15th which is when I intend to pick up all the girls who got dumped by/have dumped their boys. Emotional Vunerability = Ken's Profitability innit! I'm so clever, bit like Einstein but without the first "i", nor the "stein" bit at the end, but with a "K" right at the front. KEn p.s.: terry underwear said: >>"Stay the FAQ out of IRAQ" is what my banner will read on Saturday << I quoted that just now, and was going to ask some question about it but I'm going to hold out for now, as it may be Frequently Asked. Heh, yeah, thank FAQ for that, whatever. _________________________________________________________________ It's fast, it's easy and it's free.

(isn't typing/writing out all of "february" better than typing/writing "feb". i so think so.) yes, so yaay. new peel session up on bbcradio1 too. and she's going on tour with backing band. but not here. b/c of the french people. hahaha. no, b/c it's canada. and the windchill tomorrow is -40 to -50 celsius (to update). it's crazy. all of it. the snow was so blinding in the sun the other day that tears came to my eyes and i *staggered* a bit, wishing for one of those eye slitty things the guy in 'atanarjuat: the fast runner' wears. oh, and the fur outfit too. lots of fur and animal hide, yeeeeeaaaah. (it's grand though when the weather people tell you not to leave your house unless you really must. i see no reason to disobey the Weather People.) - Okay, calm down but don't b/c: yo la tengo is on tour in april. and they are coming to montreal! with portastatic. i almost cried when i heard the news. windchill be damned, b/c ylt is not touring the west and never do. and i am in the east now. the east! er, the centre? and april will be warm. ish. - april will be warm! ish! - oh oh oh! *and* new aisler's set album!!! out at the end of the month and slightly after in the UK. i heard a song from it on the radio tonight and it is *good*. as if there was any doubt. hurrah! i am dancing *already*. - other musics of goodness (to pick a few): sea and cake "one bedroom", loose fur (do you like wilco? you should. yeah.) and if you haven't already, give a listen to the streets. and maybe delton 3030 while you're at it. fun/good on many levels. levels themselves=good. - ohmygod, download some david cross and pee your pants laughing. - i am touring tonight in the "i am sorry for being a lame-ass late-ly international hang-your-head-in-shame tour". i have been uncommunicative and want people to know that i care about them even if i don't email it very well. /me sends robyn-sized hugs out to anyone i've every talked to/emailed/chatted with (even those who broke my heart or challenged my wit. haha, no, not really. fry in hell! haha, no, it's okay. i'm now all karmically enhanced n' stuff (which, i'm told, is the new rawk n' roll.)). not that social 'net interaction will start up with abundance again anytime soon - the library is my new best friend. and the online library catalogue fights for my affections too. *but i like it*. robots and fashion and the inside of the body: this is why "media studies" is where it's at. i mean, and you could do your thesis on "why the existence of this? and how? what? etc. really, how? why? please?": www.mvm.com. - thank you publicly to Richard John Gillanders for such a great christmas x-change present. a hemingway-style notebook! a cd! mints! a tiny book of big montreal architecture! all Appropriate :) And, to follow elenita's lead, i hope my christmas present found its way safely to its person in alabama. it was late, yes, but it contained things i think are good. are they good? - b-vitamin complex. not the band, the supplement. recommended during the harsh winter months for renewed energy, superhuman metabolic powers, and supple skin. - point form with few actual points, - robyn - (perhaps more later on the wonders of american idol, cdn popstars, why friends is still on tv, why the lawyerlady, why an hour of tv means a few more of sanity, etcetera.) - see what happens? see? ?! ===== I was reading the dictionary.

Sinister: Lions and Tigers and ...Socceroos
by trixie firecracker 13 Feb '03

13 Feb '03

Hello Sinister Boys and Girls, Tomorrow is Valentine's Day and alas, I am without a valentine. I do however have a ticket to see Spoon and that is maybe better than a bad date and a plastic rose. I also happen to have a spare ticket to see said band. Are there any sinisterians in Melbourne who might like to go to this show and do not yet have a ticket (Friday Feb 14 at the Corner)? I am willing to trade it for a drink or two and a haiku. You wouldn't have to stand with me or anything. It would be a straight trade. No pleasantries necessary. Let me know asap. Here is something that is related to Belle & Sebastian, or perhaps only really related to my subconscious mind. A few nights ago I had a dream that B&S were coming to play in my town at a big park. 'Yay!' I thought, and romped on over to the location which just happened to be 'round the corner from my house. When I got there I discovered that instead of the lovely band I was expecting, the park was filled with big cats. Lions and Tigers and (not bears) Panthers and Leopards and stuff all roaming free amongst the rose bushes and grassy areas. (If anyone from Perth knows that rose garden park on Stirling Hwy in Nedlands, that's the sort of place I'm talking about). So of course I fled, and then later I found out that while I was running and hiding and trying to be safe, I missed the show! I was so very disappointed. Stupid feline fear. I think maybe I got to converse with Stuart Murdoch though. So that part was good. In other news, I woke up this morning at 5.10 am so that I could catch the tram and the train to a friends house so that I could eat pancakes with strawberries and blueberries and watch Australia kick England's ass at soccer 3-1. Oh yeah. So very satisfying. The Socceroos are totally underrated.

Sinister: War, Go-Between's, Football
by terry underwear 13 Feb '03

13 Feb '03

hello, "Stay the FAQ out of IRAQ" is what my banner will read on Saturday, at 11am in Forrest Place. Jeremy and I are going to meet up beforehand, so if any other Perth people want to join us that would be great. "Love Goes On" is a song which I really hope The Go-Betweens play on Saturday night. Does anyone want to go for drinks before the gig? "Kewell as a Cucumber" It was nice to see Australia finally beat England at something other than cricket, tennis... take care, terry --- here's what i think: http://naivetysucceeds.blogspot.com caitlin and terry's sinister recipe tree archives: http://www.joannou.net/topofthestairs/sinifood/ _____________________________________________________________ Get 25MB, POP3, Spam Filtering with LYCOS MAIL PLUS for $19.95/year. http://login.mail.lycos.com/brandPage.shtml?pageId=plus&ref=lmtplus +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: it's such a perfect day
by Christine Irene 12 Feb '03

12 Feb '03

hi lovelies, have any of you heard the duran duran cover of perfect day? it really is quite amazing. lou reed said that they performed that song the way that he had always invisioned it. enough of that. how are y'all doing? i'm okay. sitting here somewhat trepedatiously as we are being told to stay calm and live life as we normally do....but expect a terroristic attack at any moment. does anyone else find the contradiction in this? i dunno. this whole terrorism thing is relatively new to us here in america.....i don't know how people can live in fear of things like th� each day. i can't imagine growing up like that. you know what has always struck me as...almost funny...about the IRA? granted, they are bastards, and I am in no way making light of the things that they do and have done. it just always amazes me that the IRA always tell people where they are going to bomb. at least they give people a little time to get to someplace safe. like in....circa '96/97 when they bombed the mall in manchester. they told everyone they were doing it, then said "if you get hurt, it's your own damn fault." of course, it isn't the fault of the bomb. weird. that always makes me the of EUREKA STREET, by Robert McLiam Wilson. It is set in Belfast and there is this one particular scene that always haunted me. There is this girl who hasn't had many boyfriends. She is a little on the heavy side and has a lot of probelms with confidence. She meets this boy who thinks the world of her. He loves her how she is and, because of this, she gets more confidence. So she is at a shoppe and decides to buy a skirt, shorter than she would usually do, because she feels really sexy and attractive. There is this build up and the reader gets so enchanted by this girl, you are really rooting for her. then she is walking home from the store and gets killed in a bombing. it broke my heart when i read that. that was long before the WTC attacks here, and I had never had to deal with any of that "for real", so to speak. it was always happening far away from here and impossible for me to comprehend. that is some scary stuff tito. onto much lighter and insignificant things. i got shorn yesterday! HOORAY!!! i have my short hair again! i am so happy. it's all spikey and flippy again. i also have this red stuff that you can put on the tips of your hair or whatever, and it puts these red streaks in it...i also have blue. tre cool. see how cosmopolitan i am. i am so ready for the music industry. now i just need to become more extroverted and stop hiding behind my computer all of the time. oh well. baby steps. :o) i think it is an inherent traint of sinisters to be on the shy side. at least the ones that i have met. anyway. time to go and make an elephant out of hearts. much love to you all. please stay safe. love ~stine __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Sinister: Y'a une fille qu'habite chez moi
by elenita 99 12 Feb '03

12 Feb '03

Hello there, It has been a while. Xmas came and went*, and it is almost 2 months in the new year. My God, time flies. Well actually it hasn't exactly be flying at work these days; it has been pretty slow actually. So slow and so depressing I had to take a day off last week, just to do nothing. I did nothing very well, the day including sleeping, a visit to the hairdresser, a visit to the cinema, and more sleeping. How good sleeping can get? I still don't know even with lots of practice. I went to London recently for the weekend; it was lovely, with this "good to be back home" feeling you have when you get back to places you have been loving and living in. I will not make a list of all the people who offered me time, drinks, interest and pleasant conversation, but thanks to all of you (although a special mention to Gingerfox for the very organised organisation). I had a curry and lots of beer, and I was offered a new frog to take back home. For people who don't understand what I am on about, I already own a pet frog called Larry. He now has a new friend called Henry, and the two of them are getting along fine (even if the flat is a mess now with the two of them around). Congratulations to the reporters selected: reporting back will be highly needed, obviously. Music-related: I am rediscovering French pop these days. Thanks to a new radio station I found and a new music magazine, I have heard lots of new things recently, and I got all excited about bands and singers I didn't know about. It's good to be excited about music, it has been a while since last time I was amazed, amused, or surprised by a record. Recently there are at least 3 or 4 that had some effect on me. Wooh. On this note of hope, I shall leave you. Elena * I didn't hear from my Xmas angels, so there: I want to thank Kate for the great parcel (the purse hasn't left my bag since i got it!), and I hope that my parcel got in OK to the person who was supposed to get it. _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

Sinister: Queen Of The Underworld
by a.s.t.r.i.d＠nme.com 11 Feb '03

11 Feb '03

I've always wanted to be that girl, but I'm not sure what he means. Jesse Malin that is. Man, he really is something. You should all listen to him, or I might show up at every single sinisterbites house, dancing a frightening "Why-don't-you-buy-the-goddamn-record!"-dance. And we don't want THAT do we? I thought so. I still really want to go to New York, I somehow, subconsciously, am sure that if I go to New York for a one week holiday everything in will be real fine. Like, I will just happen to run into Ryan Gentles and he'll say "Astrid! You are charming! I want to be your manager!" and I'll say "Ok dude" and then I'll get a record deal and be famous and loved by everyone. Er... I didn't say that. That was wannabe-Astrid talking, I'm sorry. Really, I want a very artistic and noir way of doing things, I will always be a suffering artist. No, I'm sorry. I lied again. I *do* want people to say "Whoa, you really do rock". Who wouldn't? It's no fun hearing that you suck. Lately, it's alright down here with me. I'm quoting again, oops. This is one of my more schizophrenic posts, and I truly am sorry about that. Sometimes I wish I lived in New York, or Great Britain, or wherever that's big and not Sweden, because it feels like then I'd find lots of cool kids to hang with, and I'd find some nice boy that I could make mixtapes to and we'd be kissing just for practise, and all that twee business. There's a lack of those kind of boys here in Sweden, you see. I'm not sitting here, writing a post admitting that my lovelife is not the most exciting things on earth. No, that would be stupid, since I could pretend that I had tons of boys crying into their pillow at night because they're all in love with me. I'm not admitting it. I'm just, er, hinting. But you can't blame me, because I always become like this when it's close to Valentine's A-fucking Day. I hate it. I really do. Sometimes I get swept up in it and I think for a moment that I'll get a rose (I dunno about other countries, but here, there are almost always internal systems in the schools so that you can send roses to people, anonymous or not) or a card from someone non-family. It's all too depressing. I hate that. Fuck that shit. I WOULD like a card or even better a rose, though. I really would. Sigh. Love sucks most of the time, because, at least for me, it seems to make me fall in love with the most untouchable boys. Not in the sort of most popular boy-sense, but just that they'd never fancy me. Maybe I haven't got a boyfriend because I'm too tall. Much too tall for a boyfriend. Now, all I have to do is push the send-button and then you can all read these embarrassing confessions. So I will do that, and then I'll be ashamed for a while, but I'll be alright. All of you, do take care. Luv and Pillowfights Astrid x Reporter: Spit or swallow? Craig N: I like all birds. I think the eagle is my favourite. Aaaaaaw. That's just too sweet.

Sinister: the mulberry bush
by P F 11 Feb '03

11 Feb '03

We come down from a walkway, turn a corner, climb a slope, among the walls of desolate grey, under the sky of desolate white stained with black (call it... grey), to achieve the vantage and vista of the broken heart of things. On our right, the Primark where it seems he used to work, maybe when it was called something else. (All is memory; some of it seems to have gone unactivated a while.) Ahead, an elevated clock ticking the town's time. Right here, sight's first challenge: a warping moulded erection of granite, marble, charcoal, whatever. He tells me it's called 'Joyride'. It turns out to be an image of mother and child, nothing to do with naughty drivers. I take a couple of pictures. There are plenty more where this came from. For instance: a few hundred yards later, an inhabited, stained block of concrete that seems to be getting ill. The health centre. A little way up this street parade, a half-fabled place. The Library. Its name's white letters descend the brick wall. I need to frame this to get them all in: and him, standing outside, looking away, not quite like he's just come here from the dole office and is about to depart with a battered random acquisition, a Frank Kermode nobody else wanted this week, or this year. There's another where that came from. It's not as good. I didn't quite get all the letters in. The rest of them are even more interesting than this. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
