Sinister: What colour is a hiccup? Burple!
by robin stout 16 Jul '02

16 Jul '02

Hello! I'm gazing out the window through my new blue rimmed spectacles. I usually wear contact lenses, but I've got a bit of conjunctivitis so I'm getting used to seeing the world through glasses again. I've already acquired the habit of pushing them up to the bridge of my nose every few minutes because they keep sliding down. I'm trying to make it look endearing. The one thing that I can really see better now that I'm wearing glasses is all the other people who wear them too. I keep wanting to wave at them to say "hey! i'm in the glasses gang too!", but I reckon they're not as excited about these things as I am, anymore. Yesterday I was thinking a lot about thumbs. First of all I noticed how my thumbs were coming apart at the seams, where my thumbnails start, and I was thinking how that always happens and thumbs are a bit rubbish. Then, last night, I went to the new Spar up Crwys Road and was served by a man who had a very long smelly beard and TWO THUMBS on his left hand. I didn't see his right one, maybe that one had two thumbs too and he was a bit embarrassed about it. Then I started thinking that thumbs are pretty marvellous things, really. Here's all the things they let you do: Hold pencils Press space bars Hitch lifts Bowl bowling balls Send text messages Give a big thumbs up to God for giving you a pair of such special fingers Marvellous! Yesterday I was bored. I decided to look on the internet to see all the other Robin Stouts I could find. While I was looking I came across this CONCLUSIVE PROOF that I am actually Robin Hood: http://www.lib.rochester.edu/camelot/rh/rhimages/hpescape.htm I'm sure you can see the resemblence. I wish I'd had a shave before they took that picture. I wish I'd remembered to put some trousers on, too. I wonder if I can claim royalties off Kevin Costner... Is anyone travelling to the Birmingham picnic from London on Sunday? I'm going to try to travel there from London on Saturday morning, and I'm sure I'll be feeling pretty sore from the party I'm going to the night before, so if anyone's going to be around to kick me out of bed it'll be appreciated. Well, no, it probably won't be, not if I'm in bed, but it will still be a GOOD THING. glad to wear glasses, Robin xxx _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: unrequited love follows me around
by michael grant 16 Jul '02

16 Jul '02

how i feel: i *love* him. i feel this emptiness inside because im not with him all the time, just in my chest, quite central, just where the ribcage seperates. it's like a void, pulling every part of me into it. and it doesnt go when im with him. he does make me happy, but it hurts like fuck to be with him, but not *with* him. what i want: i want him to feel the same, for him to love me, and not in the way i already know he does. in the 'true love stars' way. i want him to *love* me. i want to hold him. i want to wake up next to him. i want him to be the first thing i see in the morning, every morning. i want to fall asleep in his arms. i want him to fall asleep in mine. i want to watch him as he sleeps. i want him to be happy. i think about him all the time. i see him when he's not there. i always think that that's him walking across the road, or his voice i hear on the tv. i can't get him out of my head. his love is all i think about. but i'm pretty sure he doesn't. feel the same. i'm pretty sure he knows what i shall be telling him tomorrow. and i'm pretty sure i know what he will say. he'll say he loves me, but not like that. and it's killing me. but i have to say it. i have to make him know exactly how i feel. so he isn't left with some random drunken shouty emotion i hurled at him last week. i have to articulate what i feel. how i feel. i blame her. i had to run into her at the weekend. unrequited love follows me around. i know it. it dangles happiness in front of my face like a carrot, and then, just when im counting my chickens, it slams the door in my face. it's just that my heart is on the other side. and i'm fucked. about a year ago it was her turn, and now when someone else is getting their chance, she comes along to remind me about the last time. brilliant. (i dont blame her for him not loving me, i blame her for making me feel this way, right now. she was the 'trigger-age', as a good friend of mine once said. a catalyst is how normal people might describe it. the reminder of what happened last time is forcing me into action this time around, fruitless though it may be.) im not blaming either of them. it's not their fault that i fall in love with people who don't love me. she has been a bitch to me, but not because she didnt love me. she managed to bugger up our friendship in many other ways. she's multi-talented. how likely is it that we're going to find *love*, anyway. to find someone for whom you would give up your soul. and then for them to feel the same. at the same time. under the same circumstances. this is why people settle. they can't face a lifetime alone, so they be with people they know they don't *love* with true-love-stars. i couldn't ever do that, but hey, what do i know? im not in the most emotionally objective place right now. drunk on romance. and sorrow. it's just that i can't imagine being with someone for whom i feel any less than what i feel right now. does anybody think it's odd that the first person i fell in love with was a girl, then the next a boy? it feels totally fine to me, but i can see why it may sound odd. cos it does sound odd. but it was the same situation both times. they were friends first and foremost. good friends. the issue of sex/gender/sex only entered into it when the emotion was there. i don't think this comes under the term bisexuality though. it might just be me, but that word seems to have connotations of extreme promiscuity, which is the total opposite of what i am describing. (apologies to anyone who does describe themselves as bisexual. it's the word i have a problem with, not the state of mind/person/sexuality/other. semantics, pah.) it's just the people i've fallen in love with. one girl, one boy. simple as that. "im not heterosexual, i'm not homosexual, i'm just sexual" "i don't like men, i don't like women, i like people. i *love* people" many apologies for this ramble. if you have read it all, many more apologies and heartfelt thanks. if anyone has anything to say before i meet him tomorrow, let me know. a different point of view would be nice. thanks again, michael.xx _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Reporting back. from the top of Primrose hill.still.
by Paul Arathoon 15 Jul '02

15 Jul '02

So I appear to have been at the picnic. It was hot. I played football, scoring 2 before suffering from heavy trousers syndrome in the second half. There was some badminton. I forgot everyone's names and didn't really say hello to many of the (seeming) hundreds who were there. which is why there are probably a lot of people wondering 'who the fuck were you?'. I was called Paul and I can't remember what i was wearing. What impressed me most were the people next to us who had food from Harrod's Food Hall. That is clearly the way forward in terms of picnicing. And that inflatable ball which threatened to run amock. I do remember Mark C though because he Dj'd and said hello to me, and the ubiquitous Ken and a couple more Pauls and Asm. And Greg who was much maligned for coming straight from the set of his latest 80's Bratpack movie. Still, his moves on the football pitch were more reminiscent of 70's Brazil. I wished I had a pair of portable record players (which I will have soon) so I could have provided a soundtrack. Given the heat however, the vinyl might have started to flop so perhaps it is a good thing I didn't. i then went all the way home and back (not an inconsiderable distance) to change clothes and shower and stuff before going to Strange fruit. Everyone who had been at the picnic was (almost literally) glowing. The bands..well Cherry orchard sounded like a less charismatic, slight stale, Style Council. I believe I was probably at Oval on the Northern Line when Easter played so I won't comment. And I danced a bit to some great records. And then it was hometime. paul p.s. next time someone should take the responsibility for bringing at least three corkscrews. _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: "Be true to yourself. And look good while you're at it."
by Miss Marianna Longmire 15 Jul '02

15 Jul '02

Yes, Strange Fruit was rather good wasn't it? The bands were so-so, but grow me a monobrow and call me Olaf if the Strange Fruit posse didn't pull out all the stops on throwing, quite possibly, the BEST club night of the year. Personal highlights. . The uber bi-atchy door bitches. A position I aspire to attain. . Miss Sarah Garrett Sonner's impeccable dancing arm movements. . Mr Greg Pallis sporting an 80s-esque collar worthy of Jacque Lu Cont. . Bootlegs galore . An unfaultable play list from the DJ of Genius - Pulp, Baxendale, Fischerspooner, Le Tigre. And of course, Mr Mark Casarotto kindly played Chicks on Speed's "Glamour Girl" for me. Swoon. I love "Glamour Girl". I love the fact it's a perfect six minute slice of euro clash nonsense. I love the fact it's sung by mentalists sporting paper dresses held together with gaffa tape. I love the fact the opening and closing samples are vocal stabs from Take That. And I adore the fact that the Chicks didn't even know it. MISS MARIANNA: "Glamour Girls" is great. Two of my favourite, diametrically opposed bands combined on one record. Any particular reason for choosing Take That as your opening and closing samples? CHICK M: What? Oh my god! Oh no, I didn't know that! CHICK K: <Uncontrollable laughter> CHICK A: That's so funny, that's so cool. We made that with Punk Anderson and I always assumed that was him. Chicks on Speed are, quite simply, the tits. They were one of the first bands to make me throw off my indie shackles and re-discover the joys of frivolous glamour and hipster superficiality. It was because of them I bleached my hair. It was because of them I bought killer high heel boots and it was because of them that I wrapped loose scraps of material around my body and secured it with staples and ribbons so I could wear DIY fashion to parties. The Chicks changed my world. Not since falling in love with Edward Furlong had I deliberately changed my style to echo that of my idols*. It was all nonsense of course, but somehow everything seemed terribly important again. I was so excited by music again that certain tracks made me physically ill. They were that good. So I went back to playing piano and quit frequenting the Grosvenor to see who else had thrown a three-piece together. And I held lounge room discos in my apartment, and I was utterly, utterly content with the world and my place in it. D.I.G.R.E.S.S.I.O.N.S. Big, fat, blubbery apologies. What was I doing? Attempting some sort of ramshackle reporting back post to support the theories of Ken and Rob that fun was had. Right then. Other London Sinister gatherings of note: Sarah Garrett Sonner, Ken Chu, Liz Daplyn, Mark Casarotto and I formed a team to battle the wit of a certain celebrity crush of mine through the medium of a pub quiz. Our table was the amusingly titled Rah, Rah Rasputeenz. We did rather well, score wise. Crush wise, I made do with a grand entrance followed by intense eye contact. The seeds have been planted. mua ha ha. Another evening saw the aforementioned joined by Stevie Trousers, Sunnyset, Rachel London, Dimitra and Stefano for some karaoke warbling at the King of Corsica. There were pints of bitter for £1. ONE POUND! Not surprisingly, we were all suitably inebriated yet still, the Sinister Massiiiiive were superb in their respective performances; Casarotto in fine falsetto form as he stormed through "Baby One More Time", Rachel plural doing "Back for Good", Stefano singing "What I Am", Liz out-simmering Ms Ellis Bextor in Spiller glory, Ken storming through "Brown Eyed Girl" and then there was Stevie, out-rocking us all with "I love Rock 'n Roll". Later, soiree at Rachel London's for drinks, tunes and dare-devil hanging out of windows. Kick Ass. There was picnicking. And bowling too. But others should really expound on these. xx Miss Marianna Longmire * I grew my fringe out to match his coiffeur in Terminator 2. Somehow, I thought that if I had the same hairstyle as the spunky Master Furlong, I would be a shoe-in for his wife. I was 12. It made sense at the time. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: pee
by molly due 15 Jul '02

15 Jul '02

hello sinister, i'd first like to say thanks to all the people you've contacted me and made me feel at home. you rule. it has been pointed out to you all that analleakage is in my e-mail address. yes it's true i do like potty humor and am fascinated with bodily functions. i hope i didn't offend anyone, but then again you all are a bit of a dirty lot, right? speaking of bodily functions i had an interesting/traumatizing experience last Friday. I was on the porch of my friends house who lives on the ground floor of a busy street where all the sophisticated people of the city hang out or something. anyway the porch is surrounded by bushes. you have to be standing to see over the bushes but if you are sitting you can see the bottom halves of people through the branches/trunks/whatever of the bushes. so i'm sitting and i'm facing the side of the porch when all of the sudden i see a dick being whipped out. it's quite surprising and at first i think it is my brother. this is because the guy with his dick out had the same color clothes as my brother, my brother is on the way over, and he is known to pee wherever the fancy takes him. a second later i realize it's not my brother and therefore i am free to check out the goods.(nothing special) the guy hears some snickering but does not stop urinating. i guess some people have no shame or else he didn't realize we had a clear view of his penis. anyway it was a potentially traumatizing experience that turned into a simple silly occurence. well, that's all for now. talk to you soon -molly now for some list abuse: I will be in NYC from August 3 to August 10. I have to turn in my visa application and a bunch of other crap in person because i ran out of time to mail it. oh well, vacation time. so if anyone in the NEW YORK CITY AREA would like to have some beers with me sometime let me know. also myself and my travel companion are considering going to BOSTON for a short two day trip. if anyone in BOSTON wants to meet a super cool person and her okay friend and possibly let them sleep on their floor for one night it would be much appreciated. one of my best friends somehow talked his way into going on tour playing in a friend's band. they already played the states and are now going to europe. i am incredibly jealous, so i begrudgingly give you this link which has the tour dates and venues. check 'em out if you have nothing better to do. here's the link: www.dirtyloop.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: haikus revealed // weeks twentyseven // two thousand and two
by ee fumblings 15 Jul '02

15 Jul '02

Well, no matter, now the damage is done...just sit down and listen. The plan is that this will MAKE LEARNING FUN. I'll let you know if it works. Go shopping for red knickers now! Five years, blimey. That's a lot of posts. The songs included some Storytelling tracks and they worked really well. A great Icelandic band called The Leaves opened the gig and did it well. Hey Gummi, I saw a great band last night, I think they were called Slowblow. Just had an email from a friend recommending Kippi Kaninus. I dragged him along though, and needless to say he was very impressed. Eh? Security Guy: They are a band. There are more than two of them. Oh, I know what I mean! Welcome aboard Reggie and other 'newbies'. One in Newcastle next week and one in Leeds the week after. Yikes. Why I didn't think that would apply to "indy" music I don't know. It's even better than Spider-Man (well, it has more depth, anyway). If you fancy tall boys with dark hair, I should be right up your alley. GIVE YOUR WOMAN MORE PLEASURE! i'm NOT kidding. no. i don't have penis. Clive noticed scuff marks on the threadbare carpet that he hadn't seen before. I don't doubt it an awful lot. but I won't hold my breath: I would die. I am human too. well, neil robertson. isn't HE a NICE guy? HEY. I could be/feel as big and clever as I used to be/do. do/be. Sometimes, you just sit and stare at your screen and you don't know what to type. I got ill again this week; it keep happening. Moon River and me. But now that's over I have to get into the real work, and I'm stuck. I sit in bed and can't sleep, because too many things are on my mind. The only goats here are getting long in the tooth, and short on the truth. It's easier to stay indoors....in my castle where I am despot. It hovers, that cloud of confusion...and I beat it back with reason. // ee // +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: reporting back, swearing off
by Robert Brennan 15 Jul '02

15 Jul '02

Hello. A picnic happened on Saturday. Jolly nice it was too since various B&S-loving pagan weather gods got together to make it a bluddy glorious day for an all-out indie assault on Primrose Hill. Lots of people came, much wine was drunk, cakes and scones and biscuits (courtesy of Liz and SGS) were greedily consumed. Picnic mummy Mark did a grand job of keeping us all under control when some inflatable Muji ball antics threatened to get out of hand and interfere with the neighbouring picnic - ROCK AND/OR ROLL! Traditional sporting events ensued. Those of us who eschew the way of the football were entertained by some hot badminton action (courtesy of Archel) and the violent death of several shuttlecocks. Cassarole & Daplyn's controlled high-power rallying contrasted favourably against my flail-wildly-in-the-vague-direction-of-any-sudden-movement tactic. Strange Fruit happened that evening. It was GRATE although like Ken's, my memories are pretty vague apart from a hazy recollection of dancing to Roxy Music as though my life depended on it. Yay! Endless waiting for night buses, sleep, hangover then BOWLING!! In marked contrast to the last event, I wasn't too crap. Must bowl under the influence of ibuprofen more often. MAD PROPS to Mark for mummying and DJing, Liz for bed, toast and painkillers and Ken for bowling-mummying. [][][][][][] Ken mentioned the potty-mouth hit parade on the back of IYFS. Maybe Mick and the Gaffer-in-Chief could have a competition to show off their cussing chops right here on the list and let the whole of Sinister decide who is the sweariest of all? Hmm?

Sinister: the odour of hospital food takes a long time to pass you by
by Mark Hester 15 Jul '02

15 Jul '02

As it happened I didn't actually have any. I escaped just in time. Sorry Bappsy, can't make it to the Santa Monica Palisades Park...slight problem of being in the wrong continent and all. I'm sure it'll be grebt tho. I wasn't able to make it to the London shehanigans on account of somebody, to paraphrase "Levi Stubbs' Tears", leaving a hole in my body where no hole should be. Don't worry, it wasn't some knifeman in a darkened alley committing a heinous act, but rather a kindly antipodean surgeon, whose only words of advice were that I should avoid KFC after my appendectomy, something which I think I can manage without too many problems. It so happened that they were introducing a scheme in the hospital to give every patient a plasma-screen tv, but unfortunately, they came online the day after I left, so I had to content myself with a "not in service" sign on a pleasant aquamarine background. And now I have a nice scar to show people..mmm..mmm. One thing I have been trying to do during my convalescence is go onto chat, but whenever I do I find that I'm the only person there (sob!) so I wonder what the peak time is for such activities. Another thing is practicing the piano. It's been in the house for a couple of months now and I have never had a piano lesson in my life, so it's not the easiest thing in the world to accomplish, but I thought I'd better while I've got time on my hands. It's certainly better than what I was doing last week, which was playing the ancient computer game Lemmings which my girlfriend recently purchased on CD-ROM. There's only so much bridging, tunnelling and pick-axing a boy can take. Ken reminded us: They are in order of rudeness starting with the most foul-mouthed. Mick Cook ah yes, but that's Mick COOK. Mick COOKE is always most polite.

Sinister: If you're feeling hungover
by Kenneth P Y Chu 15 Jul '02

15 Jul '02

What's happening dudes, There has been much frolics in the past few days by the London Sinister Squadrons, but precious little reporting back. It's actually a delibrate ploy that we want to hide all the gossips from you. Or in my case (and a few other people's) can't remember a bloody thing cos I was ratarsed. The main jizz of it though was that a lot of people came, and had fun with some singing and dancing on Friday, some football and badminton and beachball semi-deflation and rope skipping and dancing on Saturday and some bowling and bowling lane fixing on Sunday! With a sensible and moderate amount of drinking in the mix of things. A rough count of people revealed that about 29 people turned up for the picnic, therefore I won't try and name everyone. Strange Fruits was oddly great, as usual, apart from the bit when they started playing some really depressing music that only girls listen to. Archel was pulled by a bouncer. Oh and Liz and Sarah were our wonderful Sinister Master Bakers of the picnic, a little slower off the Mark, it actually took them a few hours, but the stuff they made at the end were "properly nice" according to the surprised boy G.
