Sinister: my first post with some whine on the side
by bus stoppers 31 Jan '02

31 Jan '02

hello everyone in the land of everything sinister, i'm sara. i was released from the nursery to run and prance in the green fields covered in fog. i don't really know how to start this except for to tell a wee bit about me-self. i'm a chain smoker. i'm 21 and a cancer. i'm 60 inches tall. this is boring. uuuummm. well, i have to say that being in the nursery proved to be an intimidating thing for me. i read everyone's posts and started to feel a bit inferior. did i even spell that right? this list has already become a part of my life. it sounds cheesy and lame, but it's true. i have talked with a couple of you already. and matt has reassured me that all will be fine. i was thinking about how this list has SO many people attached to it. and how they all have faces. and jobs. and stories. and how some of them are shared. reading the posts is like looking at someone's eyes. or ears or something. i think that all of you loverly people are each a belle and sebastian song personified. but not. it's a nice escape from my life of work. and insomnia. i'm a relatively new belle and sebastian fan. about a year and a half ago, i was introduced to them by a boy. (this doesn't make me any less of a true fan though, does it? the boy is recently out of the picture. and yes, he did break my heart.) i saw them last year in l.a. i sat in the nose bleed section whilst my old roomie was down on the floor. and she was the worst roommate ever. i hated her for the damn orange wrist band. was it even orange? i feel like i should talk about something. i guess i could tell a story now. i cried today. i got my labret (sp?) pierced the day before christmas eve. and the ball part of the ring kept falling off today. well the third time it fell out, i couldn't get it back in. so i cried four tears. it was so pathetic. but i was trying for an hour... high fives and thumb ups cuz it's all over now, sara __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: your trolloping paise all run over
by paisley tie 31 Jan '02

31 Jan '02

allo my sinisters. i heard there was once a trollop in paisley. and that she was quite a proper scottish lassie, and nice, and got thrown out of places besides. i'm not her. i'm texan. (sinister round-up yay.) and noisy. and crude. and profane. but i have a tendency to get thrown out of places as well. not recently, though. the thing isn't to avoid being thrown out, but to be thrown out with *STYLE*. make a political statement. make it postmodern. make it art. and don't forget the victory dance. victory's never anything but an excuse. excuse something worthwhile then. the dance will cheer you. and it helps to shake the muck off. write a song, i'll sing along...and i will. when i'm 21, i might not get thrown out of so many places. or maybe i'll just be able to get into more places, thereby increasing the likelihood that i'll be thrown out. dancing either way, hey. as my friend says, we're harmless. but they eye us in class, on campus, on the street and yell things. drunks, small children, frat boys, and random street people. a couple weeks ago, a car full of frat boys rode close to the curb where i was walking. "is it a boy or a girl?!" my friend gets the same. so when we're together, we grin like chesire cats. after gneissy and amy and the one who wrote about being a girl being a role, i decided i'd let myself post a bit about gender after all. because it's something i don't think about too much, but sometimes. gender was made to be fucked with. a cage with space enough for grammar, maybe, but even that gets a bit cramped. only serious enough for satire. it should be whatever i want to make of it. doesn't it belong to me? oh yes it does. be filthy and fine. paisley psst: mandee made me do it. _________________________________________________________________ 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: look into my eyes. its the only you'll know i'm telling the truth.
by Michael Grant 30 Jan '02

30 Jan '02

------------------------- State of the Union Speech ------------------------- (before i start to talk about this, id just like to say i am in no way condoning the attacks of Sept.11th, and i am also not condemning the whole of america. im sure you're all (mostly) lovely lovely people, BUT i do have problems with the way your country behaves. i may also talk about 'them' and by doing so i dont wish to condemn the whole of america, just those in charge. i apologise in advance if anyone is offended.) i got extremely angry at this speech. the gist of it seemed to be, 'i am fantastic, america is fantastic, anyone who doesnt think so will be bombed. and they dont even have to have bombed us first. we can do this because we're fantastic'. in case you hadnt noticed, america has "saved a people from starvation; and freed a country from brutal oppression." im not so sure the aid agencies trying to get food to the starving would agree that a people has been saved from starvation. and im pretty sure that had the country's infrastructure not been bombed to pieces, getting aid in would be a lot easier. im not saying that america was wrong to bomb afghanistan (well, it was, but thats not the point), and im not saying that it is totally america's fault, but it cannot take credit for 'saving a people from starvation' when it was american bombs destroying this people's country. (and need i remind anyone of the TWO times american missiles bombed red cross food storage buildings??). as for 'freed a country from brutal oppression', where the fuck were the americans when this 'brutal oppression' first came into force in the mid-90s? they only got involved AFTER they had been attacked, so you cannot claim that it was an act of liberation when it was clearly an act of brutality in itself. an act of brutal revenge, which has now killed more innocent civilians than were killed on sept.11th. Monkeyboy also referred to the 'detainees' in cuba. "Terrorists who once occupied Afghanistan now occupy cells at Guantanamo Bay". now, sorry if i dont understand these free, just and democratic values for which America stands, but having the leader of the free world declare prisoners as 'terrorists', (he called them 'killers' last week), while they are still awaiting trial appears to me to be prejudicing any future trial, or are the right to a fair trial and the notion of 'innocent before proven guilty' not values for which you stand, mister bush? however sure he personally is of the guilt of these men, he cannot, and should not, speak of them in such a way until they have been convicted of a crime in a court of law. but what the hell can you expect from a country so fucked-up that it both claims to stand up for human rights and still has the death penalty? -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- i could go on for quite a while about all the tiny details in monkeyboy's speech that troubled me, but i think i will get too angry and too boring for anyone to care. and i DO want people to care. people should realise that what america is doing is stupid, dangerous and misguided. i would have hoped that one good thing to come out of sept.11th would be a reaslisation by america as a whole that there is a problem with what their country does in the rest of the world and how it is perceived there. i was hopeful for a while, but now it appears that they've learned nothing. its still the same old arrogant rhetoric we have come to expecet from a president who probably has help tying his shoelaces. sorry for going on at length, its just that this really REALLY annoys me. if you want to see the speech in full, its at http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/americas/newsid_1790000/1790537.… and apologies again if anyone was offended by my demonising of america. it was not meant as a condemnation of everyone and everything american. love mike.xx ps - and on a lighter note, belle and sebastian in april! yipee! :o) _________________________________________________________________ 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: Judy might have had a dream of horses, but she's still a PUNK!
by Matthew Henderson 30 Jan '02

30 Jan '02

Mmm...the soft glow of the computer screen fills my eye like little bats. If only my name were Mr. Stich. There hasn't been any talk about haircuts of recent. This is a shame, because calamari is, in fact, octopus. Only toasted with pork and beans. There is nothing quite like watching Joe Don Baker on the television, with a bag of pretzels and six pack of Schlitz beer. That might sound nasty, but it's not half as nasty as 2 big mouthfuls of horseradish. What does that mean? I'll tell you later. Kahlua (-alcohol) + white chocolate + latte = damn tasty. Somebody explained to me the difference between "ms." and "miss" recently. Apparently "miss" is for wee children, but I have never heard a child called "miss" before. Is this common? I have heard Little Miss Muffet though. But she ate curds and apparently weighed a lot. Somebody mentioned gnomes on weed. I think David the gnome was on weed. Or acid. He always saw trolls and psychadelic tye dyed clothes, and rode a fox everywhere. No snow. I would like to see him sawed in half with a pinwheel, and served up as Today's Special. Somebody told me every band should stop making music before they make their Combat Rock. I would like our belles to keep us informed on upcoming titles, so when they do make "combat rock", we'll tell them to cut the crap. I really think belle and sebastian should head into dub. Wouldn't they be much more fun with subtitles? "judy had a dream of horses she never hurt noboody" <imagine with a dub beat and lots of weed> Stuart Murdoch should also wear dreads. Now I'd buy that for a dollar. My imaginary band, Monopole, is hitting some rough times at the moment. If anyone has any suggestions, please help me out a bit. All you Germans are in for a treat. Some schoolmates of mine are playing there in a few weeks. They are in a band called XBXRX, and they really suck. but their shows are fun, and only last 8 minutes. Did anyone watch the state of the union address? He's the leader of the free world! Are you comforted yet? I am reminded of Hitler, talking about the invasion of Austria, calling Jews terrorists. Did anyone else see the similarities? Of course, George is not a vegetarian, or an artist. My spaceship is in my front lawn, on cinder blocks, trying to fix itself right now. But when it is fixed, I'll fly into orbit, and nuke Glasgow. That'll take care of that blasted overpopulation. It's the only way to be sure. -Matt P.S.: My ethics of cyberpunk class was cancelled today. This let to having an entire three hours with nothing to do. So I posted. I'm sorry. _________________________________________________________________ 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: We Ken meet up in L.A. if Chu want!
by Rachel fruitloop 30 Jan '02

30 Jan '02

Hello Sinister Kitties! I am actually posting for a specific reason today (or should I say "Pacific" reason, har har! Oh I kill me!) and that is because there has been a bit of talk from the likes of Ernie "Cloves" Sanchez, Brier Random and even the tremendously busy Michael Vance about a Los Angeles area Sinister meetup. We're thinking of meeting to see 'Storytelling' together, and Ken Chu advised me when I spoke to him on Saturday that we should go bowling. Whatever the activity, I think it's high time we get together, especially since there were quite a few of you who didn't make it to the last one. I know, I know, Southern California is such a vast stretch of land... so this is why we need your help. Brier and I want to plan this to suit as many people's schedules and preferences as possible, so if you are interested in attending, please e-mail me and we can figure out a plan. That's all for now! love, Rachel fruitloop __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Great stuff seeking new owners in Yahoo!

Sinister: BRMC / NME award shows
by csferguson＠btinternet.com 30 Jan '02

30 Jan '02

Hi! > > At the NME award show in Glasgow on Sunday, I bought the four double 7" Black Rebel Motorcycle Club EP's, and asked the guy to keep them behind the desk for me. Unfortunately, at the end of the show, he'd sold one of them, and had no more left. I got my money back, but I'm left with 3/4 of an album. If anyone is going to any of the other shows, could you please get the one I'm missing? I'll gladly pay for it, and the postage (obvously), as well as a small handling fee, and a fantastic present (a mix tape and some scribblings, probably...) If anyone would be so kind, please e-mail me off the list, and we can sort out the details. To keep on the right side of list Mummy, I should write a bit about B&S. So there it was. > Thanks +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: I'm going to Heaven to see if it rains
by lazylinedavid＠netscape.net 30 Jan '02

30 Jan '02

I think it was Carsmile Steve who asked what Jeepster are actually doing for B&S. Which seems like a perfectly decent question. It doesn't make a lot of sense that a band can sell out the Albert Hall and then release a single which limps to number 39 in the UK. Now of course maybe the band don't really care about chart positions but then again they probably do - didn't they have a bet once that Lazy Line Painter Jane would make the Top 40? Perhaps you could argue that they're more of an albums band than a singles band - but even the albums don't chart very high: 10, 11, 12 whatever. You think back to the Smiths (if we have to make those comparisons), and every one of their albums made it to number 1 or 2. (OK, Morrissey played the media like a total whore, but still...). And they did this even when their singles were only making the mid-20s. Obviously it's nice that Jeepster let the band do whatever the hell they want but are there not bigger labels who would give the same fre! edom and get better results? On the other hand, does any of this really matter? At the tender age of 31, I bought my first ever hip-hop album the other day, by Outkast. It's very good. To make myself seem less threatening to the cashier, I also purchased the Neil Halstead solo album: a record so wet that I have to put a towel under my CD player every time I listen to it. Does anyone know what happened to the members of the Orchids? Were they from Glasgow too? I can't remember.
