Sinister: Cake or Death (or exams)!
by Amy Skelton 02 Feb '02

02 Feb '02

Hello everyone (take#2 - the save draft on Hotmail managed to mess up again)! Tom has managed to coax me out of lurkerdom for a little while. I did not go to Offbeat last night, unfortunately it wasn't because I was having a lovely weekend in the Cairngorms or anything instead I had an Engineering Management exam this morning - Saturday exams should be banned! I could be seen having a quick revision break disturbing people in the queue for Offbeat and making a gibbering fool of myself in front of - oh well never mind that.... I just keep having to thinks happy thoughts of all the things I've got to look forward to when I finish. My last exam is on Thursday and then I'm going to Abersoch for a surf kayaking weekend - yeah!! I love going there but I remember the first time I went and discovered that the bay we were going in had a name that roughly translates to English as 'Hell's Mouth' and being a wee bit concerned... I would love to make this a longer mail but I need to start revising for the next exam - it's just never ending! Take care... ...Amy P.S. To anyone else who has still got exams/coursework to contend with - chin up peeps... _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: cake and balloons! Offbeat!
by Tom Pettinger 02 Feb '02

02 Feb '02

Hello assorted people, ....confusion about my time of waking, this can only mean one thing...Offbeat last night. And what an Offbeat it was! We had a lovely cake and balloons and party poppers (the little bottle shaped things that spew mini-streamers, before you ask) and I had a request done (Le Pastie.) Actually I had two (Panic) but I think he was going to play them anyway because Chris is such a darn good DJ. Gill is too. We also got little sticker albums for our collectable Offbeat "A-Z of Indie" stickers, I shall be collecting all of them and selling them in 20 years for an immense sum of money. Jules, you should have come! Is anyone going to Leeds on the 9th? If you are, I hope to see you there but whereas most people when they say, "I hope to see you there" mean "I'm going too" this one's a genuine 50/50, it all depends on those small pieces of green and brown paper and how they arrange themselves. Had a lot of things wanted to comment on but I can't remember them now, which is probably for the best. Oh, yeah... B&S gigs, I like Rebecca miss them closely, but I'm not as annoyed as I expected to be honest. Wait, I had a delgados request granted as well... Another thing...although I don't mind the fifty pence increase to three pounds for offbeat entrance, you *no longer get the full can of red bull* when ordering Ken's favourite liquid. And if you are the guy who put his full pint of John Smiths on our table only to have money accidently dropped in it, have it decanted into two half pint glasses and then ladled and teemed back into the original glass, I'm sorry, very sorry! But you/he was very friendly and it just goes to show, 'cos in any other club in Sheffield you would have been slaughtered for that. Da da da, just biding my time, waiting for the memories of things I wanted to say flood back into my head. It's quite weird how long posts I write take no time at all and I still have to limit myself as to content, but short posts have me scratching my head for hours. Nope. Have fun Tom XX P.S. I saw most sinister/offbeat regulars last night, nice to see you. Amy, you weren't there, probably had exciting other things to do, hope you enjoyed your holiday. (the Christmas one) P.P.S. Actually, I had *another* request sort of granted, I requested The Primitives "Crash" and another Prims. one, he played one/two genuine Prims then a good cover of Crash. Nice one! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: rolling green hills and cigarettes
by bus stoppers 02 Feb '02

02 Feb '02

greetings and salutations... i am bored and it's friday night. so i thought i would post. plus i have some stuff to vent out and no friends near by in the human form. you peoples all get subjected instead. here's my version of storytelling, only it's all nonfiction. and it's a little less awkward and a bit more sad. my grandmother died a year ago last halloween. it was sudden and it was a shock. i had just moved out on my own three days previous. that halloween my roommate took me to downtown san diego so that we could gawk at all the freaks. it was my first celebration of newfound freedom. mikey and i got home and there were five messages from my mom. "sara, are you sitting down?" "no. what are you talking about?" "your grandma kojaku died today." i don't really remember much after that. there was the viewing, the funeral, the reception. since i was the oldest of all the grandchildren, i had to be the strong one, the one to greet most of the other funeral goers on behalf of the grandchildren. blah blah blah. about a few months later, it was diagnosed that my grandfather had dementia. well, alzheimer's to be exact. i was in san diego and he was in l.a. i had two jobs and an old volvo who didn't like the freeway. i couldn't really visit him and i got shit from my parent's all the time. then after a year in san diego, i decided to move to l.a. and take care of grandpa. he was getting worser by the day, and my uncle didn't want to deal with it anymore. i moved in with my other grandparents and would go over there twice a day. everything was going okay. he seemed to be doing okay. not really getting better, as there is no cure, but he was getting into a routine and liked having me around for company. if you know anything about the disease, i don't really have to say what kind of craziness went on. it was just elevated to a whole other level when my dad and his two brothers started in on what i assume has been years and years of pented up grudges. my uncle that didn't want to deal anymore, was even talking trash about me behind my back. it got bad. i don't even know what the fuck was going on. then grandpa went into the hospital. he was anemic and we didn't know and some dialysis stuff too. he stopped eating and one night i even had to call 911. that was the scariest. after that we hired a real caregiver. i couldn't handle it anymore, emotionally or physically. i couldn't handle the family drama either. sigh. anyway, i haven't seen my grandfather since new year's day. after seeing him on new year's i realized that i wasn't as strong as i thought. i even made my mom take me back to my other grandparent's house because i couldn't stand to be in the house. should i feel bad? guilty? or should i feel bad and guilty about not feeling as bad and guilty as i should...? i have already accepted my grandmother's death. i have accepted that my grandfather is dying. i have accepted that i am not the strong, emotionally stable person i often wish i was. but when i was sitting at the green hills cemetary this afternoon, i don't know. it made me forget everything that i had told myself that i knew. i used to be one of those skeptics that thought it was weird when people went and talked to dead relatives and stuff. i talked to my grandma today. and in her own heavenly way, she reassured me that everything would be okay. grandpa would be fine. my uncles would be alright. my dad would get better. and that i was fine. even though it was a good experience, i couldn't help leaving the plot feeling a bit...down... i just needed to get that all out. my apologies for the length and whatnot...but thank you for listening. tears and hankies, sara __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Get Your Muthaf**kin' 9lb Cock On (hic)
by Sam Walton 02 Feb '02

02 Feb '02

Howdy Sinister. ASM: It's technically Saturday morning. I'm very sad to be posting email of any description at this juncture, but this is a special occasion. To my right is Feather Boa, opposite her is Mr Stuart Hallifax, but the big occasion for this is that Ms Archel Playforth, legendary in this parish, is sitting opposite me... Here comes a group post... We've had a very entertaining night. We've discovered that Asm's middle names are (arguably) very embarrassing. Although they're not really. They're actually fucking cool. ;-) Archel has graced us with her presence: ARCHEL: i have spent most of the night suffering from chronic hiccups which suggests that i am far more drunk than i actually am. (The fact that it took her 5 minutes to type this sentence suggests that she's in fact more drunk than she actually is - Asm)... ARCHEL: ok so i am drunk but i get hiccups anyway - it's genetic. it has been very weird to be back here in york (my alma mater). but i can still buy cheap guinness which is something. i am correcting my typos as i go which proves what a good editor i am - see http://www.buzzwords.ndo.co.uk for more evidence... ASM: Hmm, it's my post (technically) but I seem to have had the mantle stolen from me rather viciously by the Queen Of Smut herself. However, everybody seems to know that she's on campus, and obviously want a piece of her: people are at the windows of the 'pooter room, screaming "I want your cock" - her response to that (and I quote) "well, y'know, it could be a fake one". Queen Of Smut? Oh yes. FEATHER BOA: hulllo, i walked in a puddle and mr walton gave me a fireman's lift. then he made some joke about how he hardly ever got to pick up girls nowadays. *bless*. sorry for being drunk last time i posted, and indeed this time. i promise next time i'll be sober and i'll say all the stuff i want to say about spring being sprung and sinister being in love. Mr Stuart Hallifax noted that he didn't have anything more humourous to add than the fact that Feather Boa walked in a puddle, and that Archel has a strap-on. And so it seems that this is to where the post is degenerating: Smut. It seems that it's all you can expect when even in the presence of Archel, and any collective of sinister people in one space. We will abandon ship, only to view this post in the cold light of day, when cliche is cliche, and we understand the true horror of what we have actually done. Yours, with love, honourary Red Bulls, ducks and all rest of that twee crappola that goes along with this bizarre community (pip pip), Asm, Archel, FB and Stuart Hallifax (P.S. Archel still hiccups after the sign-off) P.P.S. I hope you all appreciate the P.S. in brackets - nearly as pretentious as Radiohead's track, entitled "(Nice Dream)"... ;-( P.P.P.S. ARCHEL: Hic. ================================ "He's strictly a pain in the ass, but he certainly has a good vocabulary" - Holden Caulfield "He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy" - Mary Cohen _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: new fable
by Jules Markham 02 Feb '02

02 Feb '02

greetings and salutations! So what have persil, batchelors supernoodles and Offbeat got in common? They've all been advertised by John 'God' Peel I was supposed to be going to offbeat tonight, with it's free stickers and penchant for 1/2 man 1/2 biscuit songs and gills perpetual pulp embargo. But I was in a bit of a spirit ditch, and even though I'd managed to find chris a fox badge to give him, I stayed home and baked a chocolate cake for mikeys birthday. It looks pretty impressive. I covered in with melted chocolate and made a heart out of smarties in the middle. I wanted to get more for him for his birthday, but it kinda snuck up on me, and so I'm just taking him out to our 2nd fave pub in sheffield to spend all day drinking. We heard that B&S are touring again, and after much discussion, we've decided not to go. For one thing, money is pretty tight, and for another thing, we both end up crying through most of the songs. we remember listening to them late at night, alone in the darkness and finding meaning in every word, every sigh. I miss the stories on the sleeves, I used to buy 12" versions just for reading them. well, I'll pootle off now, and just add that anyone who misses the black fox can find her at www.theblackfox.co.uk, where there's a new story and illustration. sleep well Jules _________________________________________________________________ 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: they let lisa go blind
by toadie291＠attbi.com 01 Feb '02

01 Feb '02

hi everyone. i wish i could come up with some witty greeting, i just dont have it in me right now i suppose. hmm. at any rate, i was listening to my mp3's on shuffle this morning whilst getting ready for work. all the sudden "beautiful" by our beloveds came on. this got me to thinking of a post from a couple of months back. perhaps you remember it to;let me synopsise for you. this girl posted about her family and how the song beautiful reminded her of herself and her relationships and the like. her family had a difficult time understanding where she was coming from to the point that they decided to medicate her and now she is just this numb being. i remember when i read it it made me cry. this morning when thinking of her it made me cry again. i cant recall who it was that posted it,i dont think it was a "regular". anyway, if you are reading this, i hope you are feeling better :o) what else? ah yes. boys. well its funny really. there have been a couple of posts recently about "why dont i have someone? i dont look like a toad and im not into recreational cannibalism?" reminds me a bit of me. i dont really want a boyfriend mind you. in fact i say no to 99% of the people that ask me out so i really have no room to complain. its just funny. i went to get a manicure a few weeks ago with a friend of mine, sharon is her name. we walked into the salon and there stood my archrival from high school. oh how i loathed her. she was one of those know it all types, which is annoying enough when the person is always right, but this girl was always wrong. ick. anyway. she is younger than i, i think she is 23..a year younger? i dunno, its a nonissue i suppose. she in all of her 400 pound glory was telling me how happily married she was. i mention her weight only because its nice to see people you dont like look worse than you, sort of validating in a shallow way. those of you that deny it are all lying! anyway. i was thinking: "self, perhaps we have set our standards too high? perhaps we should not only date famous musicians...esp taking into account where that has gotten us in the past." quite right. and enough of my speaking in the third person. well now i have my sights set on a fireman. he came to help me when i was in a car accident in december. i thought he was sooooo cute but then chalked it up to me being a wreck and just imagining him to be so. then a week or two ago i was at a traffic light. i looked up at the fire engine next to me and there was MY cute fireman waving at me :o) and he really is sooooooo cute. :o) so last saturday my suave self took my niece to the firestation. when i finally figured out how to get in (they have a doorbell....an invisible one i am convinced)...so i said to the man who answered to door "my niece wants to see the fire station, is that okay?" to which my niece said "but you wanted to...." thats when i interupted her and said "is this a good time?" fireman joe said that on his way down the stairs they got a call and if we could come back later that would be great. so we walked to the car. then fireman joe came running to my car explaining that another ambulance had been sent to the scene of whatever had happened so we could come in. he then said that there were only 2 guys there, as the others were out on a call with the fire engine. damn! my boy wasnt there! i was so depressed. so i keep praying ill see him again. i dont even know his name :o( reminds me of the cure song "i sometimes used to try to catch your face, but never even caught your name." its not fair. i cant even find out my cute firemans name but 400 lb becky is married. ewwwww. oh well. say la vee and all that jazz. well i have a hunch olivia (the baby i take care of) will be waking from her slumbers soon so i shall away to practice my guitar. i hope you are all toadie. if any of you love me at all youll start yourselves on fire in downers grove so i can help you and even call 911? let me know if youre game! :o) "when youre in the company of strangers, or just the strangers you call friends, you know before it starts just how its going to end." ~~stine +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: I left that room on fire and I never went back
by 'Baby face' Bambino 01 Feb '02

01 Feb '02

Hot, hot, hot. In a drunken moment during one of the recent Belle and Sebastian concerts, a close friend of mine confided that if he had to go to bed with a man, like if his life depended on it, it would definitely be Stuart Murdoch. I didnt really think much of what he said at the time. I was being happily distracted by the sight of Isobel Campbell and the sounds of Belle and Sebastian. But lately, Ive been mulling it over. And I think Diego Maradona is probably a safer option. What with that half inch penis and rapidly expanding waist line, he probably wouldnt be able to get anywhere near your ass. Hehe. Cunning like a fox, thats me. If Ive crossed the boundaries of good taste, I apologise. Reading Kens posts has probably corrupted my fragile little mind. _________________________________________ Pulp, shmulp rant. Over the past few months, Jarvis cocker and Pulp have been mentioned in numerous posts. I hope Im not commiting sinister suicide here, but I really dont care for them any more. I liked Intro and His n hers and even went to see them in concert but at some point during Different class, all their lyrics started to sound like Im selling out, uh-huh huh and sucking corporate cock, uh-huh huh. To start off, I didnt appreciate it when thay began releasing variant copies of the same single (as with Disco 2000) in shameless and transparent attempts to get to number 1. Surely, this was exploitation of the fans. I also think that they let themselves become overexposed. In 1995 and 1996, it was practically impossible to buy a newspaper or magazine without a Pulp feature or interview. And like Tony Slattery and Spice girl, Mel. agenda of rage C., I think they have paid the price. Also, when they got in trouble over their Sorted for E.s and whizz single cover, did they show backbone and stand their ground? No, they withdrew it and started pointing fingers at The Shamen for Ebeneezer Good. And surely, Help the aged even on a tongue in cheek level is just nauseatingly wet. In summary, I think Pulp have lost their way. That said,...... I could be wrong. I mean, what do I know? Just recently, Ive found myself enjoying This train dont stop there anymore by Elton John. That cant be a good sign. ___________________________________________ Umbrellaphobia Being a resident of the U.K. (and Scotland, no less) I think I chose the wrong week to buy my first umbrella. Its something I had always put off buying. Theyre just not cool, are they? Not even remotely punk rock, I can hear Toadie saying. But, Ive started demonstrating to the undergraduates at the university and it looks bad if I come in sopping wet. Ive found umbrellas to be much more complicated than they look. Mine blew inside out five times on my way into work before breaking. In the end, I was quite relieved when it did because I was terrifed of it collapsing around my head like a giant Venus fly trap and poking my eyes out. Maybe, Mary Poppins could open up a school for umbrella etiquette. The womans got miraculous technique. *************************************************************************************** 'Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle.' from Catch 22 by Joseph Heller (1923-1999) _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Harmonic Ranch
by eric the half a bee 01 Feb '02

01 Feb '02

Dearest Sinister, The road is long and the pavement is wet, but we're making good time on our cross-country trip across town. That's the sort of shit I write when I've had three and a half hours sleep; I apologize profusely. Did I even spell "profusely" correctly? I suppose it's possibel. Ooh, I'm tearing into the jokes to-night! Even if it is 9:26AM. I really have no reason to be writing, except that I haven't in a while and felt that I should reaffirm my existence. So look! I'm here! I'm waving my arms wildly, in a vain attempt to be noticed! I haven't been listening to Belle & Sebastian very much recently. I have been listening to a lot of Johnny Cash recently. I think B&S should do a prison tour; I bet that would go over smashingly. In every sense of the word. I suppose Mr. Cash was able to do it because, well, he's fucking Johnny Cash and every man who's ever even thought about robbing the local post office and killing the clerk listened to him while drinking beer and doing doughnuts on the governor's lawn. This would, of course, happen in Kentucky. Bowling Green, if you want to get all precise about it. I didn't have anything to do with it. Really. So someone (too lazy to attribute it, sorry) said this: c)Amy Longcore said:- "My friend Christopher called me up and said, "amy, we are relatively attractive, Smart and outgoing people. Why are we such social misfits in the dating Department?" I still can't answer you, Christopher, dear. But I sure can Relate to the roots of the questioning. I have rather this same conversation with two of my friends (seperately, of course) several times each month. I don't know why this happens to so many people, but I've just taken to going around with six days' stubble, needing a haircut, and wearing the same clothes for a week. If I'm not getting any dates, I may as well use the time I would spend grooming myself for something with more obvious value, such as extra sleep, or smoking. Anyone need a boyfriend? I'm available, and I won't even cause you much unneeded grief. Boys only, please. All replies at the usual address. This has gone on for too long, I suppose. I need coffee.

Sinister: Heads & Tails
by Robert Brennan 01 Feb '02

01 Feb '02

Matt Henderson said B&S should be stopped before they make Combat Rock. But surely Legal Man was their Rock the Casbah? I have no idea what that meant either. It's February and I still have the January blues. This is almost certainly a good thing as I realised I haven't made any significant changes to my life in about two years. Nothing unusual for anyone but the idea of settling into a routine right now scares the shit out of me. It's called being 'in a rut' but really it's a really comfortable prison cell with a wide-screen telly. The door is wide open but I can't see what's outside. Last time I felt too 'settled' was a few years ago. At that time I was pushed out the door by virtue of losing my job. I somehow ended up in Scotland and had the time of my life for about half a year before reaching my current safe, secure position. Now I'm bored of the scenery again but this time I'm gonna have to kick myself out. Oh but that sofa's sooo comfy... And Countdown's on. So um... the moral is: If you want to do something do it. No it isn't, it's: If you're fed up with what you're doing, do something else. Yes. Ages ago, Robin Stout (I think) mentioned arthurbostrom.com. Fantastic! I want to hire the chap to come round my house and mispronounce English words in a bad French accent and cheer me up. Do you think he still has his gendarme outfit? I made a similar discovery the other day thanks to TV Cream... http://www.derekgriffiths.co.uk DEREK GRIFFITHS! (for non-uk listees or anyone too young to remember Play School, Derek was/is an actor and childrens' TV presenter who was also a bit of a guitarist. For 70s/early 80s pre-schoolers it was like an having an extra dad on weekday afternoons.) Have a look and find out what he's doing now. And if you work in telly, give him a job. I've got a ticket for the Brixton soiree. Wheeeee! Thanks to everyone who posted wonderful posts over the past few weeks. Will and Dimitra especially. Yay! Brighton! The London to Brighton Sinister Express sounds fantastic but I won't be on it cos I'm coming from a completely different direction. There's a metaphor for life there. What a shite post!
