Sinister: My unending fascination for girls with pigtails
by Dean Gillon 24 Jan '03

24 Jan '03

Hello. I met Belle and Sebastian once. Well sort of I did. Me and my lass-at-the-time went to see them play in Scarborough, oooh, about 18 months or so back. And very good they were too, except we had to sit down at the gig. I've never been to a sitty-doon gig before and I'm not too sure I like it. I'm used to sweaty moshpits with everyone drinking lager. This was a much more civilised do. Everyone sitting down, eating candyfloss and ice-creams and drinking panda pops (not really made from pandas non-uk people. At least I don't think so). In the bar beforehand some guy spilt my drink and I honestly thought he was going to start crying. Ahhh, don't you just love it? You wouldn't get that at a Puddle of Mudd gig. Anyway, after the gig we got back to the hotel and some young scallywag had broken into our room and swiped my mobile, my shirt and my lass-at-the-time's glasses! why on earth would someone steal someone's glasses? Not happy, and if I'd have gotten hold of him I would have put on my disembowelling hat. Next day, we were walking into town to get the train home when who should be loading up their bus but young Struan and, I think, Mick (could be wrong). Sarah was there too and she was wearing the same jumper that she had on on-stage the night before - uurrr! "Nice gig last night" I said, "thank you very much" said Struan. "Yeah, it was tops" couldn't think of anything else to say so walked off and bought a tin robot (really). Why on earth I didn't get them to sign my ticket or CDs or something I don't know. Why I didn't steal Isobel is beyond me. oh well, you've got to move on haven't you? ANyway, the important bit. Did you know all polar bears are left handed? They end up smudging their work with their whopping A3 sized paws because we right left to right. I think that this may be the main reason why there has never been a really popular polar bear novel - their work is always rejected by the publishers because of the terrible presentation before they get chance to read it. Either that or they can't write in the first place because they can't find their white paper (think about it). I think we should all chip in and buy typewriters and bright paper to encourage them. Set up a charity or something. Bye Dean X A geordie lass went into the hairdressers and asked for a perm. The hairdresser said "I wandered lonely as a cloud". __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Easy on the sweet n sour
by robin stout 24 Jan '03

24 Jan '03

Dear Sinister I haven't written for a bit and I promise to write more soon. I just feel like writing a little tonight as our Glaswegian darlings are going to be on the radio soon and I'm getting quite excited about it. I've been listening to Belle and Sebastian recently after hardly listening to them at all for ages, and they still give me all the old feelings. I've just been lying here on the bed listening to Marx and Engels and I really wouldn't rather be anywhere else. Joanne and Holly both said how much they like FLAPPYFLOPS. I do too, although some of the songs make me wince a little. I think The Model is great, for instance, and I Fought In a War and Don't Leave the Light On. You could never call it as consistent as Sinister or Tigermilk, but sometimes it truly dazzles. I also *love* I'm Waking Up to Us. Maybe that one would be a good one for your mum, Jen. At least, it doesn't have any rude bits in it. +++ My mum isn't very cool, although I wouldn't really want her to be. She's much more fun just being a bit daft. Me and my sister had great fun at home during the holidays asking mum questions to see how in touch with the modern world she is: "Name ten famous football players" "Erm, Gazza!" "Yes!" "Erm, Gary Lineker!" "Yes!" "Ooh, I don't know. I like Gary Lineker, he's brill! That's what you children say, isn't it?" "MUM!" +++ Ken wrote about Hong Kong and Lord of the Rings and this reminded me of a little conversation I had with Nick from the Chinese takeaway down the road last year, as I waited for my Crispy Duck in Plum Sauce (number 74). N: Have you seen Lord of the Rings? R: Yes I have. I thought it was really good, actually, although, to be honest, the book bored me to tears. N: Do you know how I first hear about Lord of the Rings? R: No, tell me Nick. N: When I first move here I live in a flat with landlord and other lady. One day I come downstairs and I see a note from the lady to the landlord lying on the kitchen table and it says "You are the lord of my ring." R: Oh. Er.. N: And I think, what does this mean? And then, last year, I find out Lord of the Rings is a book! You know, I couldn't understand until then. Crispy Duck in Plum Sauce? R: Er, yes, bye! +++ It's time for me to leave this joint too. bye! Robin x ps: Dirty Vicar, in Deutsch Plus today we saw the episode when Nico got thrown out of his house. It was very funny. Arm Nico! I'm going to write to Deutsch Plus and try to get a signed photo of Nico. He is my hero. [ by express delivery : http://www.superatomic.co.uk/blog ] << look! my blog!! this week robin has fun looking out the window and talking about german dogs. really, you may as well just watch some telly or eat some cornflakes or something. _________________________________________________________________ Worried what your kids see online?

Sinister: waking up to music on lovely 2003...
by Francisco López 23 Jan '03

23 Jan '03

(Someone said, a few posts ago, that he wakes up smiling with me and the major. therefore, this message) I love waking up with music. That's the only way i like mornings. I also have developed this theory that claims that the things that happen to me on the day depend on the music that wakes me up. For example, waking up with "If you are feeling sinister" means a day of adventure. Don't ask me why, i know it doesn't make so much of sense. "A summer wasting" means a day when i realize that i'm ok with my self. Self acceptance rules. Waking up with anything from Cat Power gives me a depressing day. Waking up with anything from Morphine means i'm going to say something really "cool"... That's a smart-ass day. Waking up with "Cookie Day" form Shounen Knife gives me a silly-happy-cheery day. Waking up with "Words and Guitar", from Sleater-Kinney means i'm going to speak my word, real loud! Waking up with "Upside-Down" from Yo la tengo (the demo version of the song), means i'm going to have a day of nice feelings. Waking up with "The empty page" from Sonic Youth gives me a "super yay-ey day". Not so sure what that meant. And, the last one, waking with "Friday I'm in Love", from the cure, means to fall in love. But it MUST to be a Friday, once i played it on a Monday and it was a dissaster. I hated every one i met that day! Of course, this list works only with me, if any of you give it a try, god only know what will happen. Focusing on the subject of my last mail, 2003's being great so far! Politics are still the same, but on apersonal level's been great. My band's going to play for the first time, on a really big place. I mean, i'm going to play on the same place where i went to see a lot of people i really admire. Yay! And new friendly faces are great!! And thanks to all of you, really, i love being a part of this, Wet kisses to all of you, Silly Fran +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

oh it has gone on too long - i think there should be an appropriate length of time to do the greiving thing - and i think i may have rearched the limits - after about one week of sitting around - not doing anything but classes and pineing away for the one i love - i am feeling like - i might be a little over it - i woke up today and it was not the first thing i thought about - is anyone else tired of this current cold snap - my god - i felt like i woke up outside this morning as my room was a blustry 60 degrees - thanks to my drunk roommate shutting down the furnace cause he thought it was too hot - so i got up and - i actually feel well today - perhaps i will go out and do something - maybe i will eat as well - i feel mostly like a hamburger - something greasy to get my heart moving again - but i still do not think that i can handle too much - my bed is still a looming comfort for me - and i will probably be back in it within three hours of this post but i do belive i am beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel - which is about the best news in the world for me - i want to send all the love i can muster to ~stine for talking to me oh so much - it is quite interesting that we are somewhat in the same situation - thank you so much it has meant alot to me - all the rest of my love to you all - s.lord ------------------------------------------------------ what we place most hopes upon, generally proves most fatal - vicar of wakefield _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: donkey kong, rabbie burns, delgados, panto
by Smith Kelly DCD 23 Jan '03

23 Jan '03

Well hello sinister, It's been a while. I didn't go away. I've just been skulking about in the background. But now I have a Job In An Office, which equates to almost limitless time to mess around with email. Yippee. Just read Ken's post about Hong Kong, and it somehow made me think of,,, DONKEY KONG! As in the little handheld computer game from the eighties that made me late for work this morning (I was playing it in bed instead of getting ready). I recently re-discovered it while going through a load of my stuff at my parents house. In a fit of nostalgia, I bought batteries for it (£5.99 - each!) Since then I've been playing it non-stop. Getting the little monkey to run along dodging the crocodiles is so much fun. It is rather repetitive, but I think that just makes it all the more addictive. Hope everybody remembers to listen to John Peel's Burns' night show tonight. B+S, Ballboy *and* the Delgados. It's bound to be good. On a related note, who fancies going to see the Delgados in london on 31st January? I haven't actually got a ticket yet (because I don't want to go on my own) but I think there are still some left. Kelly x ps. Whatever happened to part 2 of Idleberry's panto? +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Yet another gratuitous post
by Christine Irene 23 Jan '03

23 Jan '03

Greetings all. I am here. In Chicagoish. It is colder than a mother**** here today. just heard the weather. it is -19 degrees outside. christ on a crutch, it is too cold to do ANYTHING!!!! i hope that all of you are well. i know that some of you are as I chat with you everyday. :o) i was happy to see a post from ken chu today, i was wondering where he had been. broadband is the only way to go. it is for this reason that i leave my computer at work now. dsl lines aren't available where i live yet and i cannot go back to dialup. poor me, i know. so in my last post i mentioned a school. i went there on sunday. i was the only girl. i am always the only girl. it reminded me of this time that my friend solomon took me to this hard core porn shoppe. i was the only girl there as well. very uncomfortable. but i digress. i love this school. i am going back on saturday so that the admissions director and i can customise a programme for me, as much of the coursework i have done in spades. i start school in march *ideally* speaking of march, i am on holiday from 21-29 march. i think i may be venturing to lovely arizona. are any of you in arizona? i sure hope so. i mean, i have tons of other mailing list types in arizona, but sinister members are just different. i love you all so very much. I can honestly say that this is the only list that i am on which i don't dread messages from. the truth of the matter is that i love to read posts on here. i think it is so funny that many/most of us, pour our hearts out on this list when, in a social setting, most of us would never speak. i think we are a pretty shy bunch overall. I got an offlist email from someone the other day that said: Hi there, I am a member of Sinister and I wanted to thank you. I read all of your posts and they always make me feel better. So much of what has happened to you I can relate to and I enjoy everything you write. It was one of those phantom emails. have you ever gotten those? where there is nothing in the sender or subject areas? very odd. well, to my phantom sinister, thank you. and to s. lord, i am so happy that we chat as we do. funny how we find ourselves in similar situations. :o) dirty vicar. where are you? i suspect that, as we speak, you are camped out at the Brown Thomas Fashion Show trying to woo Gavin Friday and send him to me. Do have fun. Chris. I hope that you're still alive and having a swinging time in Texas. ben apps. i loved reading about your wedding. the two of you are a lovely couple. all the best. and that wraps it up for now. trying to stay warm...... ~coldstine __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Sinister: summer, winter and the bits in between
by Sunny set 23 Jan '03

23 Jan '03

The house always reminded me of summer. Of the beach and of the holidays. An old seaside cottage with odd shaped rooms and many hidden corners. The outside walls, the colour of sand, covered by roses and ivy and things I don't know the name of. Plants sprawled chaotically and yet somehow with perfect order around the borders of the garden. Cracked pavings the home for moss. Seashells scattered in the soil almost as frequently as ordinary garden pebbles. The house reminded me of winter. Of Christmas and of the new year. With curtains drawn and the open fire lit the house was transformed. A battle between the damp sea air and burning coal. Red cheeks, hot backs and cold feet. The upstairs windows rattled, the floor creaked and my heart race, as I would tell myself that there was nothing to be afraid of and that ghosts don't really exist. The house would stay constant despite the changes in my life. As I got older I started to feel the frustrated. I wanted the house to see that I was different person since my last visit. 6 months older and a little bit wiser. The house didn't care! It just kept reminding me of the summer, and of the winter and of the change of the seasons. My few years of life were nothing to that old house and it wanted me to make sure that I remembered that. I said goodbye to the house yesterday. It was a sad moment and I thought both of us were going to shed a tear or two. At the last moment though, the house blinked, it wished me well, and told me to "play a long game". I nodded and sighed as I waved to it for the final time.

Sinister: Don't leave for Hong Kong baby (hong kong sinisters???)
by Kenneth P Y Chu 23 Jan '03

23 Jan '03

Hello kids, It seems that all I do ever now is ask if people want to go out with me (oh what's changed..), but more of that later in the post (read on)! So, how's life? Mine is pretty sweet, maybe bitter sweet, or at least sweet with savoury bits in, which is kinda nice and chewy. Yeah, things are kinda like sweet and sour chicken at the minute. Quite tasty. Exciting things that are happening to me lately... 1. FAST INTERNET ---------------- Today I have Broadband Internet installed! It is great, and on the same day when my role model, Robbie Williams told me that he thinks downloading illegal music from the Internet is Grate! He really does. So what else can I do? So my winamp playlist has been bless with many a classic now and one can now often find my room with the following words pumping out of it: DANGER DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE! And I'm happy! Please send me suggestions of more music to that you think I should hear (in private reply preferably please). 2. KEN'S GOING ON TV! --------------------- Tomorrow I'm going to be in the audience for V. Graham Norton, this is quite exciting because it means a chance to be ON TV which has been a childhood dream since... childhood! So look out for me tomorrow night as I'll be in a million pieces picked up for deliberation by the people listening at home and the people watching on the telly! 3. HONG KONG CHU-EY! -------------------- On Saturday I'm going to Hong Kong for 2 weeks to catch Chinese New Year (like it's a disease) and escape the cold weather here! I am so looking forward to this as I haven't been there for years and the more I think about it now the more I reminisce. And so the question follows... are there Hong Kong sinisters on the list? I have only really known one other Hong Kongians on the list and she actually lived in France. So do any of you live in HK now, fancy meeting up for a pint or go "yum cha"? If so reply to me by e-mail here! Jetsetters and Red Bulls! Ken ----- P.S.: Laura Llew said: >>In fact, when I described what he looked like to the aforementioned Jay I >>got the response of, "Sounds like ... you'll be talking about Lord of the >>Rings a lot." Hee! Now, I've talked with plenty the cute boy about Lord of >>the Rings but to have a description that lends that response. << I just can't help but ponder when someone known as "GayJay" starts to talk about Lords of the Ring. Ok Graham Norton here I come. er. anyhoo yes bye! _________________________________________________________________ It's fast, it's easy and it's free.
