Sinister: Then One Day In Spring I'll Take Him Down To The Road
by Gayle E. Anderson 23 Jul '06

23 Jul '06

Sinister Here I sit on my lunch break at -work-. They don't provide us with internet access. Intentionally. I didn't MAKE my laptop pick up the wireless signal it did it all by itself. Its very hot this week. Which I love. But I am work, which I hate. I'm not sure what that amounts to really. Todays sandwich was the same as yesterdays except my lettuce was slightly slimey on account of it being less than fresh. Most lunchbreaks are spent studying (open university). This lunchtime is not because I never realised how close I was to the end of the unit and so didn't bring the next one with me. Sigh. Glamorama by Bret Easton Ellis is either the worst, or second worst, book Ihave ever read. The other contender is The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. Although purely for their endings the Stuart David books are up there...definetely worst endings ever. Such good stories too. Its a shame. I thouroughy enjoyed American Psycho and Rules Of Attraction. Robert Rankin books are my favourite right now. I am not reading anything right now. Our household recently upgraded to a 50" hd tv. I remain unconvinced. What was wrong with the old one? its not like we actually have sky hd or anything! Tomorrow is supposed to be the hottest day all week. Yay because I'm off. Boo because I'll be sitting in my room studying all day. Yay because I'm getting my hair done which means Yay a 4 hour study break and regaining non-mullet hairstyle status. But boo because it costs nearly three quarters of a hundred pounds and I'm sposed to be saving for a 2 week holiday in september which isnt even BOOKED yet and boo open uni stuff due in on thu. but YAY I think its going to be ok. And I'll have cool hair. And in the end, thats what really matters. x _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live Messenger has arrived.

Sinister: The kids are melting in the doorway
by jo perry 20 Jul '06

20 Jul '06

To all the sun baked and listless, I am sat cross legged on chewing gummed carpet, to the left are my year 9 English class, the urchins are sweaty in their untucked shirts, flavoured with an impulse/lynx concoction that is impossible not to taste. For those of you unaware of my occupation I am a teacher and having wiggled my data projector cable vehemently for 20 minutes in the hope of screening "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest" on a whiteboard that flashes a variety of colours in acid house reverence (red screen, blue screen, white screen etc) I have decamped the entire class to the end of the corridor by the fire escape. So the children now line the way out, if the fire bell sounds there will be no flames licking their uniformed hides- just senior management to answer to when they wonder why my children seem so readily poised for tragedy. This rambling actually does have some meaning beyond the general thrill I get from working with wireless technology. I just wanted to know if anyone has seen "The blues are still blue" promotional music video- it is set in a launderette- Mrs Apps had it right all along. And far less importantly- Has anyone spotted my haphazard use of punctuation? It has all gone out of the window... One more day until the six week break, I am clawing my way there. Jo Perry, she who loves you. x ___________________________________________________________ Now you can scan emails quickly with a reading pane. Get the new Yahoo!

Sinister: #include "MyThoughts.h"
by Gayle E. Anderson 20 Jul '06

Sinister.Init("InHerHead.dat"); Ooh this is a regular poster. Have you ever looked in a mirror and been rather upset by how good your hair looks? Is it possible to spend £uber and 3hours15minutes on hair and feel <punk.h>? OnHerHead->Color = blackPINK; The (!Significant) other was made a so called "Best of" Belle and Sebastian cd. None of the Eps are featured. Glasgow picnic. Matt posted. RIP iPod. And so did Ailsa! Yes a Glasgow picnic definately should happen, I've not been to one since... I'm not sure but it was probably 2002. Maybe it was the Edinburgh one where Ken Chu kissed a wasp? Or the one where Jeremy fell over? Or the one in Glasgow where we were asked to move along by the police for drinking outside? Maybe they were the same one? Well I'm free on Sunday morning! :) Still no good at posting xx Close(); _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live Messenger has arrived.

Sinister: A Summer Wasting
by Ailsa Watson 20 Jul '06

20 Jul '06

Blimey. What's brought you lot out then? Pasty-faced indie geeks sitting in front of the computers avoiding the sunshine? Surely not. Get out of the city and into the sunshine, kids! That's what I've been doing. Except it's not sunny any more. And I'm in my office. Still, I tried. Picnicking sounds fun. I haven't been to a Sinister picnic since the heady days of the R!A!H! gig in 2001. That's, like, FIVE YEARS AGO. And that was in London, too. Glasgow should picnic once more. There's still enough of us here. Even if none of them post any more. <---- hypocrisy alert! Archel is right about Mornington Crescent, as she is about so many things. It wouldn't be a B&S album without a clunker though, would it? On the other hand, I think Dress Up In You may be my favouritest B&S song of, ooh, a long time. Possibly ever. I have seen them twice live already this year, and shall complete the hat-trick at Princes Street Gardens in August. Princes Street Gardens! That's, like, massive! I remember when they were playing wee places, to small huddles of adoring Sinisterines. Actually, they never really did that, did they? It was all reasonably-sized venues, jammed to the rafters. Still, I like to think I was there when it was small and intimate, rather than the monstrous rock behemoth that is stadium-friendly B&S. They've got awfully good live these days. Seems so long since the shambling giggling messes of (gulp) 10 years ago. Anyway, yeah, picnic. We should do that.

Sinister: Bits of "Death of a Ladies' Man" sounds like Pink Floyd
by Matthew Henderson 20 Jul '06

20 Jul '06

A girl I knew from my hometown came up to Glasgow rather spontaneously on Monday. Yesterday I took her out to the Necropolis. I hadn't been there in some years, as I don't tend to frequent the East End of the City Centre very often (there's a big hill!). I only tend to go there if I'm out of ideas on how to show a visitor a good time. You can't really appreciate what the city has to offer in a few days of sightseeing, so its always off to the obvious places. Anyway, I'm glad I don't go there very often, because they're something quite wonderful about it, and I reckon it wouldn't be quite as interesting if I went up there all the time. Perhaps its the mournful majesty of a bygone era of merchants and industrialists, philanthropists and Lord Provosts, and a host of infants who barely lasted a month. The beautiful/eerie nature owes a lot to the view, of course, but also to the knocked over gravestones (obelisks, beheaded and smashed cherubs covered in graffiti by Celtic fans) and that bloody statue of John Knox, looking with his ever disparaging eyes over the city. The view, of course, is wonderful, even if it is basically the Tennents brewery, endless tower blocks, and disused land with hills in the distance. I remember my first time there, thinking, "hey! I recognize this...its from the Modern Rock Song video!" I always think it strange that its not used more often in videos. Also, its strange to see people picnicking between the rows...essentially they're a few feet above some decayed corpse. Oddly morbid if you think about it, but nobody ever does. I don't think the dead will mind, either. Speaking of the Modern Rock Song video, a friend of mine called me up the other day. "So someone has traded in the Fans Only DVD. Is it good? Is it worth it?" "yeah, its really good. Of course, I'm a fan, so I can't tell how much you might enjoy it, buts its wonderfully edited." "so are the videos of the band or a bunch of indie tw**s that'll make me want to punch the screen?" "uh....its a mix." It put me in the mood to listen to the Belles, as I've recently been obsessed with tracks like Tocadisco's Sunday at Space Mix of the Pet Shop Boys' "Minimal". I pulled out the Life Pursuit, readying myself to do the washing up. Its really the only time I ever use CD's anymore, as technology and convenience has made them virtually useless once I load them onto my computer and iPod. I think, "oh great, this'll get some play." Of course, it skips within 1 minute. I just bought this damn thing a few months ago! I'm failed by the old world. I'm failed by the new world as well. My iPod, after just over three years of dutiful service, has glitched itself to that great gig in the sky. If there ever is to be a Glasgow Sinister picnic, I propose we fashion a wooden boat on which to lay my beloved mp3 player so it can drift from the Clyde out to Avalon to await its eventual return with Arthur. I would suggest we shoot a flaming arrow onto it to burn it as it floats away, but I wouldn't want to disturb the otters. -Matt +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: The Stars of Tractors and Fields
by Robin Stout 19 Jul '06

19 Jul '06

Ay up! > I took a photograph of you in the bootylicious border > It broke the arse of men and deflowered the girls and Paulo Stinsoni Paulo Stinsoni! Hurrah! I'd forgotten all about him! I was just on the phone to my mum when she said "Oh I'd better go, your father says it's starting to thunder and we should go and hide under the stairs". So they did. Gorsh, heavens to Betsy, the weather's hot isn't it? My trousers are all stuck to my legs. Reminds me of when I went to a fancy dress party as Adam Ant: Dandy Highwayman, and had to wear tight leather trousers on the hottest day of the year. Oh my! Don't do that! I did win a prize for maximum dandiness though. It was very difficult explaining to an Italian (Michael Jackson) and his Korean wife ("I have come as a princess") who Adam Ant was. "Um, he's a New Wave popstar, but he's also a highwayman, a dandy highwayman. You know, a highwayman? He'd hold up stagecoaches and steal gold and snog busty ladies. Yes, a criminal basically. But he'd sing to people too, and wear makeup. Mmm, yes. So you're a princess are you?" Whenever I want to listen to Belle and Sebastian these days I watch Countryfile on BBC2. Last time I saw it they had a feature about Massey Fergusson tractors over a The Life Pursuit medley. Cor! I reckon Struan should do a duet with John Craven. He'd bloody love it. Do we still talk about music on the Sinister Mailing List? I'm looking forward to the new Pipettes album, yeah, and the new Sprites album, oh boy. I'm going to another fancy dress party on Saturday. What do you think I should go as? I reckon I will go as a Ghostbuster! All I need is a vacuum cleaner and a boiler suit and dorky specs - Egon Spengler! I could make some ectoplasm out of mushy peas. Or frogs. Or Swarfega. Does this still exist? When I was a lad we had a big pot of Swarfega in the bathroom, so my dad could dunk his hands in it after he'd been up a ladder. It was magical and I presume highly toxic to children as I haven't seen it since. Perhaps it was made out of ghosts. Or frogs. Toodleoo, Robin PS: A picnic sounds good to me! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: living out the life of a poet
by Rachel Playforth 18 Jul '06

18 Jul '06

Hello Sinister! Ooh it's been a while hasn't it? Like Andrea (hi!) I am now a Professional Information Goddess, having finished my MA - which seemed to take about nine years although it was really only three - in May. I don't think I'll be launching my new skills on the unsuspecting library world just yet though, as I now have a little Sinister bun in the oven hooray! *waves at all the illustrious and lovely Sinister parents* I know Mozart is the composer of choice for making unborn babies clever or whatever (my mum favoured Bach I believe so I am only moderately endowed with genius), but Belle and Sebastian seem to me to be ideal pre-birth listening for the discerning foetus. Matt might go for something a bit more bass-heavy and I can see his point because there's a lot of distracting background noise in the womb, but I also think the baby needs to be born with the melody to Another Sunny Day already hardwired into its brain. Famously, current crops of babies are soothed by the Neighbours theme tune, because when their mothers were pregnant it signified them sitting down and relaxing, which relaxation was transmitted to bubs. But I don't have a TV and the programmes I watch on DVD [Lost, 24, Alias, The West Wing] tend to raise my heart rate if anything. But B&S do make me relax. At this rate baby Archel-Matt will recognise Stuart Murdoch's voice better than it recognises ours. Update on The Life Pursuit: I now like all but one track very much, including We Are The Sleepyheads which I was unaccountably indifferent to before (Honey you were right all along!). But Mornington Crescent is still by Oasis. Red knicker picnic sounds lovely. (And I guess it's true what they say about Primrose Hill being a fertility site then...) I hope I can come - as long as Ken promises not to bring any cod roe, as merely reading his post made me want to heave. Whatever cravings I eventually get I am almost sure they won't be for fish eggs. Not sure what a Sinister picnic looks like sober though, so that will be strange... My sandwiches: humous and cucumber. Although today I will get to have a Sandwich Adventure, because I am buying one at work instead of making my own. Who knows what delights the lovely ladies in the Humanities Cafe will have to offer? I'm sure there were other things to say but they've slipped my mind. Still, if I remember them later then it might mean I'll post more than once this year. Warm fuzzies to all of you, Archel+bump xxx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: To My Dog On Wheels
by Gayle E. Anderson 17 Jul '06

17 Jul '06

Sinister: To My Dog On Wheels. Sinister. 28/05/1999. The intention was to write this post, and post it, on the 28th May 2006, for that was an anniversary. But things never go quite as planned, so here it is, not that far away from two months late. Now I'm feeling flat you seem a mile away. It would seem there is a picnic approaching. A picnic! Its been suggested in order so afford a trip to said picnic that I eat less and the sinisters (are they still sinisters?) will feed me lots of beer when I get there. Alas! No amount of not eating will get me to the picnic. Maybe, one day, there will be another Scottish picnic. Maybe there already has been. I'm so tired that down on the pavement I lay. There is a mighty bruise on the back of my right hand. I like that it is perfectly square. Right angles and everything. No joke. I sort of like that its 3 knuckles wide and 2 knuckles deep(and starts half way down the back of my hand), because people might think I'm hard. Grr Arrrg. I don't like that one of my fingers keeps wiggling of its own accord. Thats just weird. Til the blossoms of the trees come falling on me. Apparantly there are websites out there where people who go 'dogging' can upload pictures. There is an age limit though. Fall on me. So this week I have been eating thousand island, lettuce and humous sandwiches. It costs about £5 and lasts a week. Bargain! Hovis best of both bread(no bits!!!), tesco healthy living omega 3 spread, tesco cheapass thousand island sauce, tesco strong lettuce and tesco mediterranean styleee humous. Proir to this I mainly enjoyed toasted sandwiches with tesco seafood spread or coronation chicken. Sometimes I treat myself to a tesco greek salad with feta cheese and olives. Or have some soup. I like carrot and coriander. Or good old Heinz Tomato. Can't go wrong with that, Heinz Tomato with some buttered rolls. Mmmm. I do not think that 'Helmans' mayonnaise is needed to make a good sandwich. Not that its not good, it is! I have never met anyone who calls it 'Helmans' either. 'Helmans mayo' maybe, you know just to make sure they don't end up with the cheap stuff. Some people don't like the cheap stuff. I don't mind. This has been a dreadful post. x 'What if....' _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN Search Toolbar now includes Desktop search! http://join.msn.com/toolbar/overview +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: goodbye mr. boucher
by Andrea Young 17 Jul '06

17 Jul '06

Hi everybody I guess I'll post here anytime Archel and Ken come out of the woodwork, even though I've never met them in person. I'm just a crowd follower that way. I guess I probably did meet Ken on #sinister, and I've seen him on flickr. I'm under rabbithaircut there, if you're wondering why I friended ya, Ken. Finished grad school 2 months back, and now I'm a professional. Professional librarian, that is. In 3 days I'm going to pack up my skills and drive away from New York City and back to the west coast, though where I will end up is still unknown. Portland or Seattle. If you know anyone who needs a good librarian around those places, you can tell 'em you know one. Speaking of the Northwest, I'm pretty sure I'm going to start up Kittenmouse Radio again, or at least, I'll do some fill-in slots during August, while I'm staying in Portland and looking for work. If I end up in Seattle, you might see me on KEXP or something like that. The old website (http://web.pdx.edu/~andreay/) was deleted, since I don't go to school anymore at PSU, but I'm on Myspace and I have a googlepage, with one of my old shows uploaded, which you can download in tasty little mp3-flavored bites here... http://kittenmouseradio.googlepages.com :) Andrea (Kittenmouse) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Another punny day (+ added PICNIC??)
by Kenneth P Y Chu 17 Jul '06

17 Jul '06

Another punny day, I met you up on #sinister You were digging plants, I dug you, uphill minister I took a photograph of you in the bootylicious border It broke the arse of men and deflowered the girls and Paulo Stinsoni (ken stop) Oh yes. Hi! Two post in 4 days, man. This is championship form I think. And the resurgence of the brotherhood continues. Rise, comrades! Tell me about your escapades and sandwiches. I had a toasted sandwich with butter and COD ROE in it the other day, because I bought some from Ikea - it comes out of a tube like toothpaste! and tasted delicious. It's occupying my mind so much just now: Every Morning I wake up wishing my toothpaste were cod roe, and when I finally get over it and head to work I get lost trying to find my way to Tottenham Cod Roe. There's no escaping from it! Another thing that's been occupying me I think has been listening to music with girlie singing. So good. Lately on my iPod a lot were an old Faye Wong album, some Sundays live tracks and the new Camera Obscura album. I just can't get tired of listening to a girl sing well. I can't seem to get tired of the sun, either! It's been two months now of exceptional sunshine and I keep humming 'Heatwave' when I'm cooking. And I'm so tanned. Before the summer I was 'desert sand', now it's more just 'brown'. Last week, I think I could have claimed to be 'fuzzy wuzzy brown' but the Saturday afternoon on Primrose Hill put a stop to that. My flatmate ended up with patches of 'Razzle Dazzle Rose' I think. On the Crayola website they suggest 'Beaver' to be a dull brown colour but I think they're wrong. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anyway, all that lot brings us to the point of the email! Primrose Hill! Sun! Red Colour! Beavers! You know what I'm getting at?? PICNIC! If my calculations are not incorrect, this summer is going to be Sinister's 9th birthday. Sigh, so young. The final year of single digit age must be intimidating for such a youngling. So we ought to throw a good picnic! I think! What do you think? I think the birthday happens sometime near the last weekend of August, so we should perhaps picnic, on Saturday, the 26th August. What say you? Email me. Email the list. Viva la revolution! May the red be with bull, Ken +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
