i've been reading chester brown comics, he's amazing and does a series called underwater, before that he did a comic called yummy fur. several story lines from yummy fur have been collected into graphic novels, one is called 'ed the happy clown' and the other is autobiographical and i think it's called 'i never loved you anyway' or something like that. they're published by the same people who publish optic nerve, speaking of which...

Sinister: Mike's already had Halie Salasie!
by babyblu＠gold.globalcafe.co.uk 28 May '98

28 May '98

Whooo! First off, thanks to everyone for a wunderbar primrose hill afternoon on Monday. I'm now back at work (dontcha just love loooong weekends?) and have full net access, so here's my tuppence worth: Everyone realising that Gerard looks just like laconic jock stand up Arthur Brown, "That's the kind of man I am.." Two slightly dishevelled sinisterines waiting for us on top of primrose hill, having been there since FOUR O'CLOCK in the bloody morning after getting back from the Verve shindig somewhere up north. Surely devotion above and beyond the call of duty. Give these people a medal. NOW! Actually playing a game of football where:- #1 We picked teams in under three quarters of an hour. #2 Some girls played, RAAAY! (If Shelley had been picked for the Australian squad Terry Venables would still have a job this summer). #3 I was in a state approaching sober and therefore avoided anymore embarrasing Dave Beasant style mishaps in goal. Everyone deciding to go to Brighton dressed up as the cast of Quadrophenia on push-along scooters and then have a pitched battle with loads of Rockers on Raleigh Choppers. People climbing things for the pleasure of it and not just to impress kite-less girlies. The longest EVER drunken name game. Just how Mark knows so many female tennis players will forever remain a mystery. Deciding Mike is now called Staedy Mike for no apperent reason. Sample quote:-Everyone: 'Mike, why are you called Steady Mike?' Mike: 'I don't KNOW!' (repeat every five minutes) Aah happy days. Stay wide on the left. Watch the ball, WATCH THE BALL!!!, Roryxxx P.S. Someone mentioned Popstarz. My Mum is up for going this Friday(29th). Any takers? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: behave
by Honey 28 May '98

28 May '98

Now then I want you all to be very good next week. I've left some sweeties in the cupboard and you can stayup late. I am going to be away (mostly) with the dreaded family in Hertfordshire, trying not to say rude words in front of my Dad (current readout: Mad Dad, Mitsubishi-selling older brother, Ford-selling younger brother, wives and children who look like Fred off Coronation Street - funnily enough they don't really like Belle and Sebastian), So I'm going to relax all the settings on the list that help me fend some junk - expect a few "unsubscribes" maybe - just so your messages get through. Hopefully you will all just tick along happily and not notice that my chair is empty - I sometimes wonder if I went under a truck how long the list would happily go on for without anyone knowing. Someone say awww. I actually (maybe) messed one up this morning - the message from the "undisclosed recipient" (if it appeared that way this morning) was in fact from David Kitchen in dark sunglasses - sorry David. Also, I'm going to dare suggest something here - a reminder that one or two people could pack up their emails to the list a little more, so that they send one big one rather than 5 small ones - generally people ask me to keep suggesting this. Finally, let's play Jive lyric spotting (it's all Keith's fault): "Mojo walked t'his dead cuz' he dought he'd neva' feel dis way again If he goes back t'de crib den doodads would go fum baaaad t'wo'se, whut could he do?" Mother and baby doing fine, no flowers yet, not even grapes, Honey xxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Jive Talkin'
by Keith Watson 28 May '98

28 May '98

This is a thing on the web called the Dialiectizer, which is funny, I decided to run through the little piece of text on the programme for Belle and Sebastian's concert at the Moir Hall a while back through it, on the "jive" setting, and this is what it comes up with... First the original... Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to out little evenings entertainment in the plush municipal surrounds of the Mitchell Library. Im certain Mr.Mitchell would turn in his book-lined grave if he knew what we were doing here tonight. We are privileged to have Falkirks Arab Strap playing with us tonight. They will open with a short set of acoustic observations. They are good, but quite rude, so it is suggested that you position your hands over the ears of small children in readiness. Next come Belle and Sebastian. Recording on the Jeepster label, this group (all active members of the T.A.) will play songs from the record If Youre Feeling Sinister. In fact, they will play the whole record in sequence. This is the sort of indulgence that gives rock a bad name. To give you something to do while you listen to ten songs which you probably dont know, we have provided a handy checklist opposite. The band have stuck the encore onto the end of the set, so you can be assured that there will be no ugly surprises to come between you and your Saturday gins. And then run through the "dialiectizer" Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome t'out little evenin's entertainment in de plush municipal surrounds uh de Mitchell Library. Slap mah fro! I'm certain Mr. Ah be baaad...Mitchell would turn in his scribblin'-lined grave if he knowed whut we wuz hangin' here tonight. Man! We is privileged t'have Falkirk's Arab Strap playin' wid us tonight. Man! Dey gots'ta jimmey wid some sho't set uh acoustic observashuns. Dey is baaaad, but quite rude, so's it be suggested dat ya' posishun yo' hands upside de ears uh small children in eyeballiness. Next mosey on down Belle and Sebastian. 'S coo', bro. Reco'din' on de Jeepsta' label, dis group (all active members uh de T.A.) gots'ta play beats fum de reco'd If Youse Feelin' Sinister. Ah be baaad... In fact, dey gots'ta play de whole reco'd in sequence. Dis be de radical indulgence dat gives rock some baaaad dojigger. To cut ya' sump'n t'do while ya' listen t'ten beats which ya' probably duzn't know, we gots provided some handy checklist opposite. De band gots stuck de enco'e onto de end uh de set, so's ya' kin be assho' mand dat dere gots'ta be no ugly surprises t'come between ya' and yo' Saturday gins.

Sinister: scary cars...
by Henry 28 May '98

28 May '98

Hello everyone, all the talk of failed driving tests is freaking me out, STOP! I've got my first test coming up on tuesday 9th june... Now I've finished all my exams and have pish all to do (except drive...) does anybody fancy arranging a Manchester picnic? Platt fields is lovely at the moment with about 2000 canada gooslings (geeselings? or just ducklings?) on the lake. Also If anyone's around I strongly recommend the play "Mojo" being done in the cellar at the student academy at the moment (last day thursday, tickets 2.50 on the door) Its written by some 24 year old and is being turned into a young brit film type thing. Dark comedy, small cast, excellent performances. bye, Henry. (Manchester listees, "why don't we do it in the road?") ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Another pearl, another gannet
by Mark Casarotto 28 May '98

28 May '98

I can't resist writing another litle something to you all (attention deficit disorder or what?) before bedtime - especially as I am now v. stressed indeed as I have v. important meeting/interview tomorrow morning and I've lost the bloody address!! Bugger. Got a Barclaycard bill for £860 today - that'll teach me to insure a car and buy a 4-track. And now all I need is a really cheap bass, a really cheap drum machine, some really cheap effects and then my lack of talent will have no excuse at all. Stil, if anyone likes early Stereolab/Suicide/Spacemen/Skyway (I think - John Kennedy on XFM seems to play this beautiful instrumental quite a lot and it always lulls me to sleep before I hear who the artist is), watch this space (or better still, let's jam, like, groovers)... I bought 5 blank tapes yesterday so that I could spontaneously tape both B&S albums for my friends - one day someone's going to say "look Mark, just piss off with your wishy-washy fey indie bollocks, alright!" and I'm going to weep a bit, I'd imagine, before pretending to be into jungle REALLY. One of my greatest achievements (that's not the right word, but it was a very moving occasion) was making my ex-girlfriend cry by playing Dog on Wheels to her over the phone - actually, it was when I recited her the lyrics, although those of you who've heard my guitar playing can probably guess why she was so distressed. I love this band. I never went on picnics with people who liked Portishead... Until tomorrow, amici miei, Biondino xxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
