Alright kids.
Just writing a short note in support of "The Stars of Track & Field". Hell
of a song, not a good opener....?!*&?!£..you've gotta be kidding.
We all can't like the same thing granted.
Never used to like "Judy & her dream of Horsedick's", think that's the best
finale, Rollercoaster ride....PAP!....nice slide though.
I've almost completed my tape for the tree you'll be glad to know, just the
one B & S song on there for you all. I know we were told to not bother but
it's a beatiful live version of "Here comes the sun" from the Rotterdam gig.
Whenever will Keano learn.
United 4 Smoggyborough 2
Just a guess.
Vines are playing 10th Oct in Amsterdam. Anyone up for it?
Manics 5th Nov
Let me know as i'll have to pick tickets up soon, think i'll be back in
Warrington for the Manic's though. Tis my birthday week. 7th, just like
Roger Moore.
'H'.

Hello Sinister,
a quick mail from the Dirty Vicar before I unsubscribe to pay a quick visit
to the Netherlands.
I've been to some interesting musical things. As you know I live in Dublin,
and consequently I went to the first night of Wonky, which was this kind of
festival thing in a converted industrial space that was once used to
manufacture Guinness. The space itself was very striking - a huge industrial
edifice from which you got wonderful views of the city at night. but also
the music was top too, with local bands like the Dudley Corporation, the
Jimmycake, and Large Mound turning in G*R*A*T*E performances.
Best of all though were the Chalets. I mentioned them last time, now that I
have actually seen them in concert they are truly the best band in the world
that aren't B&S. They even include a former Sinister subber among their
numbers so they have to be good. If you like the idea of a band fronted by
two Betty Page lookalikes singing sharp boy-girl vocals and playing with
xylophones you will like the Chalets. I'm hoping they go on to release some
actual records before I lose interest.
I also went to some world music shite which was T*O*P. Some brass band
fellows from Rajastahn met with my approval, their blaring sounds calling to
mind the Sun Ra Arkestra. And the Gotipua Dancers were also impressive. they
were these boy dancers who dress like women and do dancing and stuff. the
whole dressing like women thing was a bit bizarre, because it meant I was
eyeing up people onstage and thinking "mmm, kinda tasty" and then
remembering that they were i) male and ii) underage. ah well, beggars can't
be choosers.
And so I must leave you.
DV

The leader of tps is the former Tripping Daisy Tim DeLaughter. It's miles away from their planet, but this debut is anyway from a planet on it's own. The first 9 sections (the tracks is called section 1-10) is marvellous - beautiful popsongs... the last track is one of those tracks you would possibly delete forever, if your CD player had the option. It's 35+ minutes of keyboard sounds... like Metal Machine Music without metal (just my opinion). So my recommandation: Never let the monster out on random play... play it from the beggining stages and onwards: There's pure pop classics within.

Dearest Sinister,
Three overnight guests, an unfortunate event, one dirty hippie, and a
stilted roadtrip to Montreal were required of me to fill this post for your
innocent entertainment. It has been a few days since I have last seen a
Sinisterine. Things, since then, have not gone well with me. I went from a
place with a lounging London boy to a place where there was no lounging
London boy, and from a place with a full bottle of Scotch to a place where
there is no Scotch. That is to say, from the comfort of my cozy home to a
family vacation.
Before I left, I had two weeks of sinister filled fun with guests including:
*The Boy "Screw Jim Gilmer - I'm the one who is so hip I have trouble seeing
over my pelvis & if I keep up this addiction to Fuddruckers' hamburgers I'm
going to have trouble seeing over my stomach as I will be HOKEY
CHUBBYLICIOUS, baby" G
*Jay "Un(der)employed" Nagy
*Kirk"mmm Cheerwine"Us and
*Jay "All I want is a vaguely Byronic underwear model who can play Chopin
and discuss Descartes while making a chocolate martini - Is this too much to
ask?!" Eckerd.
All but the latter allowed themselves to be lured into staying several days
at my hostile hostel. It was a relief that I didn't have to resort to my
usual threats of grappling hooks and truck drivers named Earl to convince
them they really did want to stay.
After three years on this list and reading a multitude of reports back from
picnics and days o red knickers, I finally have been to such. I've met
members from Sinister before. The first time I met someone from here I broke
out in hives beforehand, the second I fell down a long flight of steps the
day of and bruised myself over my entire body (many parts which I didn't
know were in existence before the incident), the third meeting I hadn't
slept for weeks prior and was reduced to incoherent drivel, the fourth one I
spilled chemicals on my face leaving brutal marks and appearing as scarface,
and after that I've blocked it out and it can't be recalled without the use
of hypnosis and dancing midgets. Suffice it to say, I didn't think I would
ever make it to a Sinister gathering without some accident occurring which
would make me wish I had taken out that large insurance policy. It was
lucky that I escaped unscathed.
We had a smallish gathering at the bookstore in South Carolina on Sunday a
couple of weeks ago. There were 13 in attendance (5 sinisters, 1 Miss
Flannery, & variously imported bookshop girls and the like) , one tombstone
cake, undrunk wine, suspiciously colored water, and plenty of pictures
taken. However, I suck at websites so I haven't put them on-line anywhere.
Mr. Un(der)employed has some photos of the surrounding areas at
http://www.jaynagyphoto.com/North%20Carolina.html Sadly, the goat wasn't in
attendance. Actual pictures of people have been cut up, made into terrifying
collages, and used in puppet shows which are now touring the nation.
My other thought concerning sinister gatherings was how everyone's
post-posts always painted things and people as picturesque. No one ever has
a bad time, was shamelessly hit on by some heinous halitosis pretentious
prick, or couldn't get anyone to say more than two words to them. However, I
- *I* was going to be the one to unveil the hideous underbelly of Sinister
while employing hideous grammar no less. Oh yes. Show it as it really is -
exposing the seedy side that everyone else keeps quiet.
No
such
luck.
Once I shivered and stated I was cold and one of the sinister boys fetched
me (the supposed hostess) a blanket. Others graciously helped me out with
moving things at the bookstore, one gave me an ace Johnny Cash record, and
there were numerous other acts of kindness. Plus, I thoroughly adored all of
them and thought they were neurotically charming and hysterically witty. The
bastards! O Perfidy, thy name is sinister boys!
I grow too faint with frustration to continue. It is a dreadful thing, at
such a moment, to have absolutely no one at all to be irritate in such a
manner, but I shall post this immediately and it shall be somewhat the same.
I remain, in the meantime,
Yours, as always
Laura
PS - Yes, along with Eugenides'"Middlesex", I read some Sarah Caudwell on my
trip and it has affected me tremendously. Curse Laurel & Brian of the trendy
New York set. Heavens knows I didn't need any more encouragement toward
verbiosity.
PPS - It is not my fault that The Boy G is addicted to Dennys as well so
don't even try to blame me.
PPPS - For those of you who didn't get to go to the Atlanta b&s gig just go
to http://sorehead.org/jd/ and have a lookie at Bernard. Trust me, that's
exactly how Stu-ey boy looked. He's *so* cabanaboyerrific.

Sinister is five years old now, which can only mean one thing - tomorrow
will be the list's first day at school. The uniform has been bought, the
packed lunch is being made. Will mummy shed a few tears after dropping us
off at the school gates? What will our teacher be like? I hope we don't get
bullied...
So we have another sinister marriage. Congrats to Colin and Amy. I've never
met them, but it's certainly put a smile on my face this morning. That
message probably scored a few hundred milisinisters.
It's the new way of measuring postings, you see. In this modern scientific
age, everything has to be measured and quantified. For example:
Beauty is, as we all know, measured in milihelens. Helen of Troy was the
face that launched a thousand ships, so one milihelen is the amount of
beauty required to launch one ship.
Computer software used to be measured in milihotmails - a program that
breaks down one thousandth as often as hotmail. These days of course, people
have realized that that is far too large a unit of measurement, so people
prefer the microhotmail.
Music quality is measured in repeats. This is the number of times you play a
song / album before it leves your CD player (divided by the number of other
CDs in a multiplayer machine, where applicable). (More observant readers
will have noticed that I am using the old imperial measurement here. The
metric equivalent is the milicocker, where a one milicocker song is one
thousandth as good as Common People by Pulp. The metric system does have the
advantage of being able to give negative scores to Nickelback songs; I leave
the choice to the reader.)
Happiness is, according to Dave Gorman and others before him, measured in
happys; where one happy is equal to the amount of contentness a person gains
when you give them a pound coin. Of course, this can be translated into
other currencies; an American happy is the amount of contentness given by a
dollar bill. This also explains why Australians are so cheerful all the
time, because the Aussie dollar is worth bugger all.
Now, there are 1331 members on this mailing list, of which a few hundred
will be either people with two email addreses subscribed, or people on
holiday not reading their mail; so there must be approximately 1000 people
looking at each message. So, a one milisinister posting is one that makes
one member of the list glad that they read it. The likes of Archel and
Trousers can register a couple of hundred milisinisters very easily; I'm
happy if I make it into double figures.
Of course, that's not all that matters. Saying in a post that you love me
and think I'm great might only score on milisinister, but it will give me
personally about fifty happys.
Big Stu

Hello
Apologies for the short notice but this is to let you
know there will be a small Sinister gathering on me
home turf of Southsea this weekend *so* for anyone
who's already coming and for those who have just been
made aware in the last 3 seconds...
WHEN? Saturday 7th September @ 2:30pm - When the
13:08 from London Waterloo gets in.
WHERE? Portsmouth & Southsea station before
navigating out of the somewhat dull city centre and
past Peter Sellers' birthplace to the far more
pleasant evirons of Southsea common where there is
bags of green space, a beach and D!D!R! within easy
access. The usual pubbery and stunt drinking to
follow in the evening - for the RAWK inclined there is
the option of CHAOS and a chance for Ken to dance to
Terrorvision.
Trains back to London stop running at about half
eleven but there is space and toast available at
Robster Towers for the stranded and hungry.
WHO? Any of you who can make it.
ISN'T IT LIKE BRIGHTON BUT CRAP? Yeah but at least
both its piers are still working. And it has sea
forts - they rock!
Mail me off-list with queries and complaints. Or just
to let me know if you're coming.
Robster

Hello all!
Yesterday was dramatic allright. I went to see the first proper Mum
concert that they have held in Iceland. It was held in the Icelandic
National Theater, a great big old building all oozing with history.
After a great intro Mum just kicked away with some great stuff. The
only thing that troubled me was that I could never understand what the
twins were singing. Not even when I realised they were singing in
Icelandic. ;)
If anyone would like to hear a cool new band then find stuff on the
Net with Apparat Organ Kvartett. A great band with four organ players
and one drummer. They really rock. Went to see them on friday and they
blew me away.
Hope you all had a great weekend. The news here are all warning of us
a storm coming our way! Hurray for have to lurk inside because if I am
outside I will blow all the way to Greenland! WEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

Hello Sinister!!! Hope everything's alright!
I'm OK, thanks!
My friends gave me a surprise birthday party! I never had one, and it was
really a surprise! It was soooo, soooo cool! I almost cried. It was the
best party, it started around 23:00 when I got home and went through the
night and the next morning until 15:00! And *almost* noone got tired!
But it happened last week, everyone already knows it, right?!
I had a dream last night, in which I found a skeleton on a beach. It came
back to life and pursued me in a desert road, it was driving a convertible
Mercedez and I was trying to escape riding on a bike... not that
interesting anyway.
A couple of weeks ago HUGO wrote about track lists... yesterday I watched
Yellow Submarine and I was thinking about how Storytelling would be perfect
on vinyl, just like Yellow Submarine, on one side you'd have the "typical"
B&S songs and on the other side they could put all that instrumental music.
I think they don't fit well the way they were arranged, even though
Consuelo Leaving is a perfect opener for Wandering Alone. But what the hell
is Fiction Reprise doing between Scooby Driver and Big John Shaft?!
This would be my track list, if it was on vinyl:
A
Fuck this Shit
Wandering Alone
I Don't Want to Play Football
Black and White Unite
Storytelling
Scooby Driver
Big John Shaft
B
Fiction
Freak
Night Walk
Mandingo Cliche
Consuelo Leaving
Consuelo
Fiction (Reprise)
See? No dialogues!
Hugo also wrote about album openers, I agree about SOTAF not being a good
one, I just couldn't find another song to replace it, perhaps Mayfly, but
then it would be a too uplifting opening for a Sinister album... And the
rest of the albums, well, they have quite good openers...
The best sequence in a B&S album is, for me, A Space Boy Dream - Dirty
Dream #2, it's one of those breathtaking sequences! And the best ending is
The Rollercoaster Ride, sure it is.
Was it a list?! Hmmm...Sorry!
She speaks! Flora speaks!!
I'm so happy, I met another sinisterete! Only for an hour or something
because I met her in the airport, she was leaving the country, moving to
Rome. She's from Brasilia and she had a flight connection in São Paulo.
Flora is her name.
She never posted to sinister when she was here... but now she lives in
Italy! I wonder if I'm the only Sinistro who lives in Brazil who's not
ashamed of my poor english! If so, well I'm not that shy after all! I wish
there were more brazilian sinisters, I only met Ana, and she's great, so...
Actually I think I'm the only non-european-american-australian resident who
posts to Sinister, as far as I can remember.
Do you guys know any method or medicine or anything that takes You Don't
Send Me away from one's head? Or at least Mick's trumpet? Please, please
let me know, I'm not sleeping well!
Kisses and hugs,
Fernando Brito

dear sinisterians-
oh, its been so long since i've written!
and i have had enough of being a lurker. although i feel like i got
insight into some people like lindsay baker, ken chu, idleberry, archel,
rachel footloop and all the others, i haven't really thrown myself out
there.
well. i'm back in ken-tuc-ky. (yes where they made the kentucky fried
chicken). going for year 3 of uni and always writing for the school paper.
i have jumped on the bandwagon and written a blog.
http://mhoang.blogspot.com (it looks exactly like idleberry's actually.)
its been a fun summer. milwaukee was the best. and i got to meet the
famous kirsten kenyon. (but kirsten, i never made it to sendik's. next visit
i guess! BUT i did get a cute pair of shoes at Mr. Shoe before I left! :) )
so now i'm back in the sleeper of a town that is known as bowling green.
pop 50,000.
now that i have a cd player in my car, i have been listening to the boy
with the arab strap NON stop.
today is september. man time flew by way too quick.
i wish i had more to say. oh well, until next time.
how do you (being sinister) get to know me. well i guess i'll just keep
