Sinister: Oh the snot has caked upon my pants
by Madeleine McNeil 29 Jan '03

29 Jan '03

Laurel Lemming's Subject: Twee Stroke. Mark C and Archel to thread! I still love you Sinister, even though I keep flirting with other people and not giving you enough attention. Most evenings I have a headache, but sometimes I just want to be alone. And then there's the times that I have to read long essays for school. Not just read them, but UNDERSTAND them and write responses. That means I can't cheat and pretend, which is my normal style of learning. This week, I went to see LOVE with Arthur Lee and it was one of the toppermost gigs I've been to. I think there's still a few UK dates left of the tour and I must urge you to seek them out. They played the whole of the Foreverchanges album (that Lawrence Mikkleson sent me ages ago when I was a Sinister spring chicken), complete with strings and brass. Hearing them play Alone Again Or sent wonderful shivers all up and down. Then Arthur Lee played some of his new material (which, according to a recent interview with NME, he thinks is the best stuff he's ever written) and holy crap! but it was hilariously bad. The band were smirking. The lyrics went something like this: Bye bye America Bye Bye Bye You made me love you But you made me cry I went to Scotland I couldn't refuse I went to Scotland I couldn't refuse (instrumental break: sounds like some Scottish Highland Fling type thing played by trombone and trumpets) Bye bye America.... Awful awful awful. But still, a wondeful night. Archel's proposing a picnic, is she? I can't go but FINE, see if I care! I'm going to Liverpool for a dirty weekend with a hott lecturer (trans: there's a conference and my lecturer will be there and she will bother me about my dissertation, sigh when I disappoint her once again, tell me to work harder, then we will both leave alone). But please, go in my place. Drink my pints of lager. Laugh at Mark C falling in the sea for me. Fall over on Archel's head in my place. Ben Apps won't be attending, I imagine, so find another boy to cover in Urban Decay glitter-tastic make up. Oh, and thanks to everyone for doing their thing in the Christmas Exchange. Special thanks to Featherboa and Dirty Vicar for my presents. And thank you to GayJay for my special gift. It's beautiful.

Sinister: ain't that a kick in the pants
by trixie firecracker 29 Jan '03

29 Jan '03

eep. miss marianna dobbed me in, so i guess that means i should post now. unfortunately she also used my real name and therefore my attempt at a secret identity has been foiled! dang and blast! but aha! you have to go and read old posts to find out who i am, and since i am of no significance to anyone on this list (...yet), probably no one will be bothered. all is well in the world of trixie again. hurrah! just to make things clear, i do not have ginger hair, and i have not ever practiced my kung fu moves in a desert with other girls. although i do like to practice kung fu. kicking ass kicks ass! i know miss marianna from the good ol' perth days. before we all moved away. now she's in london and i'm in melbourne and i miss her (very much actually). i am having an apartment-warming party this weekend and i really wish that she could attend. instead of robbing a bank to fund her flight, i decided to join sinister wherein i can bask in her prose of greatness. i am hoping she will be taking an ink polaroid this weekend... perhaps i will take one at my party. although it is blatantly obvious -- this list being what it is -- i do love belle & sebastian. i saw them twice in new york in may last year! fabulous! i even rearranged my travel plans so that i could catch their shows. i really very much hope that someone gives them enough cold hard cash to come and visit us over here in australia. just to add some balance to all the freezing weather tales i've been reading here, last saturday in melbourne was the second hottest day on record at 43.9 C. that's 111 F for all you american folk. pretty steamy. personally i like autumn and spring the best. i guess that's about enough of me for now. although i have more stuff to tell you. i think i read somewhere once that it's a good idea to remain mysterious and not reveal too much about yourself too early in a relationship, otherwise the other person (or people) might get bored and break up with you. i don't want that to happen here, so i'll save a little bit of myself for next time. love trixie.x _______________________________________________ <font size=2 face=geneva><b>Join Excite! - <a href=http://www.excite.com target=_blank>http://www.excite.com</a></b> The most personalized portal on the Web!</font> +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: elvis has not left the building
by R.Playforth＠sussex.ac.uk 29 Jan '03

29 Jan '03

"Maybe I didn't treat you quite as good as I should have Maybe I didn't love you quite as often as I could have Little things I should've said and done, I never took the time But you were always on my mind You were always on my mind" Which is by way of acknowledging that I haven't posted for a while. It seems inordinately vain to apologise for such a thing though; I prefer to assume that you're all going about your business quite happily rather than tearing out your hair and weeping at my absence. "Don't cry for me Sinister The truth is I never left you" And I didn't. I just haven't been vocal. There would never be any question of one of those 'I'm leaving, suckas' posts from me, because I can't do without you :) I am, I admit, a blogging type these days and there is lots of the usual drivel, unbounded by any considerate nods to 'content' or 'mass appeal' at http://archel.blogspot.com. I don't use ANYTHING as a 'dear diary' forum though, partly because I'm now ENGAGED TO BE MARRIED and I wouldn't want hubby stumbling on dirty secrets. Not that I have any (that's the other reason). But, just to prove that getting married doesn't mean I'm going to become a reclusive housewife, I'm going to have a BRIGHTON PICNIC! I'm toying with *Saturday 22nd February* as a possible date, but don't take my word for it. Expressions of interest/promises of cakes and booze will be greatly appreciated at this early stage. And lastly, a plug for my webzine. It's been all redesigned and made user-friendly and lovely, and I'm quite excited because I got to use some of my own html skeez this time. But I can't put the new version up until it has some brand new CONTENT to match the face lift. So, if you have any poetry, short fiction or reviews of ANYTHING, send them to submissions(a)buzzwords.ndo.co.uk. That would be grand.

Sinister: twee stroke

29 Jan '03

dear Sinisterines, on a link snagged from <a href="http://www.dazereader.com">Daze Reader</a>, I found that "So far, [new wave porn] feels pretty good--way better than stroking it to Belle and Sebastian record covers," according to http://www.ocweekly.com/ink/03/21/cover-ziegler.php . I can be expected to disagree with that. I've always found that stuffed tiger to be rather cute. scarily yours, lem __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Sinister: A moral dilemma of Hollyoaks proportions
by Kieran Devaney 28 Jan '03

28 Jan '03

Dear Sinister, To the person that is having trouble sleeping, read on. I seem to be apologising all over the shop today and here is no different youd think that Christmas and being back home would inspire me to write a big truckload of lengthy shambolic one paragraph posts (haha I think I mightve already told you this but one of my tutors used the phrase garden path sentences when describing my writing style) and, well, it sort of did, the inspiration was there I was going to write a big 2002 in review post about all sorts of things from last year, I still might actually, but I share a room with my brother at home you see and though I wuv him dearly he 1. Never shuts up and 2. Always has the telly on, which makes writing pretty difficult, especially after having spent a term in relative seclusion where I can sit quietly at the computer and stick Stars of the Lid on the headphones and have nothing distract me, which is what Im doing now. Or more or less anyway because I do have a couple of motives that would best be described as ulterior when it comes to this post. The first is yer classic work avoidance tactic, and the work Im avoidancing this time is revising for an exam on Thursday, Ive never been good at revising really, holding a thought to the end of a sentence is difficult enough, but Im sure Ill muddle through. The other, more interesting, motive dulterieur (as the French say, possibly) is a moral dilemma of Hollyoaks proportions (caveat: I have never seen Hollyoaks, but one of my friends always uses it to describe stuff like this) which I will now relate. But first a short preamble to sort of set the scene I arrived back in Sheffield just over a week ago, on the Sunday, to find the people on my floor in unusually high spirits, having drunk, as they had, an unusually high level of spirits. Oh ho ho ho. I suppose this was fair enough considering it was their first day back together after a month or so of absence, so I went off for a walk and left them to it I have a nice camera to play with now so Ive been taking moody, pretentious black and white snaps of all sorts of things I finally got round to photographing the gate with wall behind it to which I devoted a whole Sinister post last year. However, despite the week being exam week the partay didnt stop, much to my chagrin grinning I wasnt - and by Wednesday I had had enough and so off I went back home (I had to go back anyway since Id forgotten a bunch of important stuff, and I also wanted to see the Spring Heel Jack gig, which was wonderful by the way, them doing improv with a bunch of jazzers - Evan Parker, William Parker, Matthew Ship, Han Bennink and your man from Spiritualized, theres still a couple of dates left, so if you get the chance its well worth it). I arrived back yesterday to find a newsletter had been shoved under my door detailing all the damage done to the Hall during this first week back, now Im not particularly easily fazed, as those who know me will attest, but the sheer amount of stuff that had been broken, smashed, thrown out of windows or, ahem, smeared along walls *was* a genuine shock and the floor that Im on was among the worst, from what I hear the couple of nights that I was away were really raucous, culminating in a bin being thrown out of a window (and were on the ninth floor here), nearly hitting someone and, for about the fifth time that week, the fire alarm being tripped. The dilemma is this today at dinner an someone told me that the above, and other things which have yet gone unreported, were both done by the same person he also told me that a meeting is going to be called sometime soon for our floor, whichll basically amount to a big telling off (weve had them before, including an impromptu one at 8am one morning when the slightly mental head warden, or whatever she is, hammered on all our doors, virtually dragged everyone and then shouted at us for more than half an hour while we stood bleary-eyed) fair enough, and, and this is the crucial part, that if they find out who threw the bin out of the window theyll kick that person out of the hall in one of those as a warning type things. Fair enough. Well now the person in question isnt exactly top of my list of friends, in fact Ive hardly said a word to the guy since, well, since forever, and while he hasnt really done anything bad directly to me beyond the odd not quite out of earshot snide comment I do find him really offensive. He struck me right from the start as being one of those kids from middle England Daily Mail reading families who, sent to university to study some Noddy course (to be honest I havent a clue what hes studying I think its something to do with computers actually, but no offence to anyone reading that does stuff with computers, actually Im digging myself into a bit of a hole here, so retract that bit) who, fresh from the cloying arms of his family (actually his family came up to visit one afternoon last year and he was talking in the lift with them about all the fantastic stuff hed done, such as setting off fire extinguishers and things they laughed, so perhaps Im a bit off here) who takes rebellion a bit too far and, ideologically is stuck somewhere in the Daily Mail letters pages having expressed sentiments encompassing racism, sexism and homophobia sometimes all in the same sentence! Naturally I took measures to try to avoid him after the first week, but since hes in the room next door thats a bit difficult, fortunately he doesnt seem to want anything to do with me either, which is good, but I am constantly surprised by his backwards thinking whenever I come into contact with him. All that in mind my first instinct at dinner was that I should go and tell the relevant people and thus be instrumental in his being expelled from the halls (all reportings like that are treated anonymously of course), you see, I think it *would* work well as a deterrent nobody wants to be kicked out of where they live and if that curbs the annoying/destructive behaviour (and means that I can get a decent nights sleep) then mores the better. So great! I grass him up and one of my least favourite people on the floor has to leave and potentially everyone calms down a bit. But that is precisely the problem, see, had it been someone else then the thought wouldnt have entered my head really and while throwing a bin out of a high window is an incredibly stupid thing to do, when I first heard about it it only affected me in relation to all the other stuff I was hearing about i.e. I didnt think all that much about it over all the other stupid stuff. So if I was to go and report him then it would be almost entirely self-motivated and for the wrong reasons Id be doing it because I think hes a prick, not because he threw a bin out of the window, basically Id be abusing the system. Not that Im particularly keen on the system, really, and thats another thing Im not sure Im comfortable with the idea of myself as a grass, I dont want to take sides on this, and so far Ive managed not to but since the hall authorities, quite naturally, seem keen to stamp out all this damage I can see it landing me firmly in the and youll let us know if anything else happens, wont you? stakes. That sort of internal politicking is the last thing I want to get involved in. So my question to you, Sinister, is what should I do? despite my new years resolution being to try and concentrate more on the faire part of laissez-faire I am leaning towards doing nothing, for the simple reason that its easier (both in actual terms and on my conscience), which irks me slightly, but Im really stuck on this one. Im not expecting Sinister to come up with some sort of definitive answer really, though advice would certainly be welcome, writing this is more for me to try and pin down the pros and cons, which I suppose it has done, though Im no nearer to making up my mind at all. Oh well. Ill get back to you on what I ended up doing whenever I next post, which, given that Im back here will probably be fairly soon. - Kieran ps My address isnt all that long is it? Is having a long address a social stigma? I fretted for at least ten minutes when I read that mine was the longest, oh dear. pps The Tupperware party is over. _________________________________________________________________ It's fast, it's easy and it's free.

Sinister: my self-absorbed fretting and puling always come to an abrupt end with some surprise gift
by Jennifer Ireland 28 Jan '03

28 Jan '03

<color><param>0100,0100,0100</param>I got a letter in the post today, which i wasn't really expecting...I've been moaning for, oh, a long time, about never getting any post. Yet today, thourough my letter box came a wee card ( i didn't know that until i opened it but...), with a glaswegian postmark. Inside the card was a little note from my brother - Happy Birthday! I know its early but I thought You'd enjoy them! Take a friend and you can stay at mine! - quite a bizare note, a riddle of almost gandalfian proportians. Upon further examination, I found two tickets for Sigur Ros at the Barrowlands in Febuary, in the envelope. So my moaning about not getting post came to an end...but now i have to consider who to take with me. No one i know likes sigur ros...I feel like I should introduce someone to them, but then, what if they dont like it? will I feel I have wasted a ticket on them? I don't know, but I'm sure I'll sort it out... Yesterday was a strange day...I wandered around Dundee, with the vague hope of finding a flat for this next year. The people I might share with are begining to annoy me with ther anxiousness - which is making me think I don't want to share with them. Which means I not only need a flat but also a flatmate :~) still...i'm sure it'll get sorted out...but i ended up in McManus (sp?) Galleries, after a light liquid lunch with my friend Donna. Theres an exibition of beatles photographs and we (stumbled) up the stairs to look at some really old instruments. There was even a wee activities table, where you could make a woodwind make a noise by pressing the bellows, and play two fiddle strings...it was good until we stepped outside again to find the rain had begun again...then I went out last night and won some champagne by subjecting myself to the horrors of the human roulette at Mardi's (Taysides BIGGEST night club...) But to the (possibly) point of the e-mail...are there any other sinisters in dundee? and if so how about a pic/pub-nic? or something similar...I don't know but still...send me an e-mail or somthing... anyway, am off to play frisbee...the joys :) jenyx When your down there don't feel down and out you have something you can smile about <nofill> +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: bent over backwards. . .
by Brian McNeill 28 Jan '03

28 Jan '03

That isn't an invitation for delicously disgusting sexual shenanigans. . .Just wondering if anyone has any advice to help me get a decent nights sleep. I have been getting recurring back pains on and off for months. The bed has been replaced for a rather expensiveSilentnight one. And if anything it's worse,some mornings I cant get off of the pillow. And now its started in my neck, so i'm in great shape. I suppose i could win an albert steptoe lookalike competition, I'm only 30 going on 75. . . The quack has been no help whatsoever. Anyone that can reccomend anything herbal for relief or help to sleep it would be a help.Having an excitable 13 week old kitten jumping all over me at night hasn't helped much either. But he's sooooooooooooo cute. (black very longhaired and called Chico) thanks all brian now playing:- Orange Juice- Ostrich Chiurchyard. (sheer genius) p.s- fuck it! I'm up for the disgusting gimpy stylee antics as well! _________________________________________________________________ Worried what your kids see online?

Sinister: haikus revealed // week three // two thousand and three
by ee fumblings 27 Jan '03

27 Jan '03

I love waking up with music. That's the only way i like mornings. Needs to get out of this town, but likes the local high school football team. Oh Gordon, I love you. Anyway, back to my little hobgoblin. I composed it in my head while I was washing dishes this evening. I first heard Fold Your Hands... I wasn't really sure what to think of it. Subject: Sinister: Damn you Vermont! You and rogue clowns stole my boyfriend. I was wrong when I used to claim I hated of the population. Sonic Youth gives me a "super yay-ey day". Not so sure what that meant. I try to smile at them, in the hopes that I can make a stranger smile. A geordie lass went into the hairdressers and asked for a perm. Also, I havent really mentioned any thing 'topic' related. I remember that not driving sometimes isn't all that bad, really. So it seems I missed belle and sebastian on John Peel the other night. Still, reality is always different from what I've imagined. I'll semi know what to expect. Thank you all I'd better get going. Duck in Plum Sauce? R: Er, yes, bye! It's time for me to leave this joint too. // ee // +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Guess Who's Coming To Dinner?
by a.s.t.r.i.d＠nme.com 27 Jan '03

27 Jan '03

...Me! Yes, people, it is the long awaited return of Astrid, your favourite paranoid Swedish 16-year old girl! Hurrah! So, what's happened with all of you? I've got quite few messages compared to how it used to be, posts dropping in at all times in my inbox, but now... only a couple of posts per day? Hmmmm. Well, I've seen that Ken Chu is still here, which means the list is in somwhat normal order. I'm in a new school now, a GREAT school actually. It's an English School, but in Sweden. All the teachers are native though, so I have the pleasure of talking to Irish, Australian, British, Scottish and Canadian teachers every day. It makes me feel SO international, darlings. Ah. Very nice. Page under constructions: www.vertigo.dot.nu Uh-Huh. Still in love with Ryan Adams, Jesse Malin and other lonely men with guitars. Mhm. B&S is the band I about once every second week remember, and then I listen to the songs, look at me with them (I have got pictures) and then I giggle because Belfast Bob was doing this weird thing. I'm not as obsessed anymore, but that's nice. I actually told Stuart he was my God. Yeah. I KNOW. But he thought I was cool anyway, so yay! Well, just wanted to say hey, I'm back again dear sinisters. Take care, Luv, 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: bring my car, I feel to smash it
by Kevin Hyde 26 Jan '03

26 Jan '03

This is turning into an every Sunday sort of thing- Hello everyone, For Americans, today is the like the Christmas of Television. Super Bowl. Mmm-mm. I'm kind of rooting for the Oakland Raiders to slowly and painfully dismantle the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, since the Bucs unmercifully thought fit to cause much wailing and gnashing in my hometown of Philadelphia by beating the living hell out of the Eagles. And really, Raiders vs. Bucs- it's a game between two pirates, and which name sounds tougher? Yup, that's right, the Raiders. Buccaneers is name more appropriate for, say, one of the tertiary characters in Pirates of Penzance, viz. "Hey, it's Lou the Buccaneer!", who bears an uncanny resemblance, maybe, to a bearded Danny Aiello (am I the only one who worries about this man's career?). But enough about football. Although I always thought it would be fun to have a Sinister List Sports Betting Pool. Living in the South, and yet being born in the North has many distinct disadvantages. The one that gets to me the most is that, whenever people know I spent most of my life in the North, they always assume that cold weather doesn't bother me. As in, it's 30 degrees F outside, and I say "Oh god it's cold." and they say to me in a rolling Southern drawl "well you should be used to it." I can only imagine what Southerners are taught in school about the North- I know the Civil War is sometimes referred to as "The War of Northern Aggression", but I mean, c'mon. It's like people think that being Northern-born means you spent the majority of your free-time adolescence outside in snowshoes, romping through the pure white powder, and pillaging neighboring iglooes. As if I had antifreeze in my blood. Is anyone else addicted to: a) America's Prince, the John F. Kennedy Jr. Story [in which we find wooden acting, very horribly conceptualized documentary style, and Portia de Rossi! not to mention a Moby song] or b)Giuliana from E! news. [this channel has become the most life-negating thing in my, well, life. This woman's mouth is fascinating beyond reason. It's...sharp somehow.] I feel weird admitting these things, and yet relieved at the same time. E! seriously has taken over a good 60% of my non-motor function brain space. well, I hope you're all doing well and amusing yourselves and others, Kevin +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
