Sinister: Lloyd Cole & Letterbombs
by Tom Pettinger 21 Jan '02

21 Jan '02

Hello, chums. (haha, that is such a cringe-worthy word if ever there was one, but I'm saying it because I just recently saw "If....", so "shag off, you scum!")(It's a brilliant film, by the way.) Quite a lot of things in Joe's post amused me, I suppose because we are a similar age. (Coincidence, or merely chance?) These are them... Trying to get siblings to listen to G!R!A!T!E music to no avail. My lil'sister likes pop but not the good stuff, my lil'brother likes rap...I have never heard any good rap... This spread in my mind to the usual trying-to-get-hapless-others-into-the-music-that-mentally-balances-me, which is always infuriating. I'm on a coach, passing round huge headphones that spew a wonderful mixture of music, and people smile politely and say, "hmm, it's ok I suppose" and then go back to their processed and cheaply packaged shit-on-a-disc. Even if you hate it, for crying out loud don't just say, "it's alright..." Another siblings related thing, but this time a contrast: Joe said:"She also gets huge amounts of Kudos (it would seem) at school from having a teenage brother". I am a constant source of embarrassment to my bro and sis, because for some unknown reason bowling shoes and corduroy are not cool in their circle of friends. Neither is my tank top. Also, I hang around with two be-afro-ed people who also have younger siblings and who are greeted in the street with, "Is that a wig?!", "Get a haircut!" or just "Sheeeeeeeeep!" by even the youngest of children. And besides shouting back that they will cut out the heart of the perpetrator and feed it to a goat, there's not a lot they can do. Next subject... Valentines day. *raspberry noise*. I don't mind it, really, except that I was ditched the day before it a couple of years ago. (What an incredible bugger.) Although I'm sure I didn't appreciate it at the time, it was quite nice of her really. Saving me the expense of buying something only to be dumped after it's receipt. Or at least saving me the embarrassment of having to ask for it back. I will still be sending my usual card and twelve red roses to Buffy the Vampire Slayer's house (you know, the one in Sunnydale.) And I expect I will not be receiving anything from her in return, as she is far too busy slaying demons and the like. As far as I can see, this is the only reason why I haven't received anything from her these past five years. Heartless bitch.Some girls really know how to crush you, don't they? "Ladies and gentleman, I give you Burt Bacharach." Tom XXXXX P.S. Props: Simply to the filthy Reverend, for "Slard". P.P.S.Question: Someone mentioned Lloyd Cole a bit ago, but I can't remember if it was cushioned in praise or on the end of a string of obscenities, but I'd like to know what he's like 'cos Oxfam have loads of his records in at the moment, so some help on that one, please! P.P.P.S: If anyone knows for sure they will not be receiving anything on Valentines day, give me your address and I'll send you a letter bomb. Then I'll come round on the 14th and we can open it together. ;-) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: I'm waking up to toss
by Kenneth P Y Chu 21 Jan '02

21 Jan '02

I have been a clever Trevor yesterday and decided to not read any sinister e-mails so that I can come to work today with loads of posts to read, and what a wonderful plan it was! I had enough posts this morning to last me from 8:30am until 12:00 just then to keep me away from OBH (office boredom hell). I was also most delighted to read that Mark Casarotto has found some good w**k from necrobabes.com, and that his love lotion can travel at speeds of 120mph. But regarding his fishy matter... >>(hmm, I need a handy household tip) Don't cook fish, it stinks<< My mum taught me this but, if you put in slices of ginger when you cook your fish, it would get rid of its smell. Okay, now that I'm in the subjects of food, the scrumptious hannah brown just said: >i've just been painting and repeatedly cutting out the alphabet for fun<< which reminded me. Ever since I've joined the ranks of living on my own and thus having to shop for food / cook for myself, I've been looking long and hard to try and find one of my childhood favourites that is: Campbell's Vegetable Alphabet Soup! which comes in a can, and it's like this ordinary tasting Vegetable Soup - except it has hundreds of alphabet shaped pasta inside it! With which you can spell out words, rude or otherwise for hours on end until your soup gets cold - i.e. hours of fun. I've been searching in both TESCOS (is tescos an acronym? What does it stand for apart from Good food for good value?) and Sainsbury's for Campbell's Vegetable Alphabet Soup, but I can't find it ANYWHERE! Does it still exist? Surely Campbell's could not have discontinued such a great product! Please say it ain't so - any help in locating the said soup would be much appreciated - I'd even write "I love <name>" with the pasta letters to <name> who can help me locate the elusive soup. In other news, I dreamt about both Richard Gillanders and Jeremy Tweddle last night, and neither of them were throwing up. They kept asking me to get them water from the kitchen when I was trying to sleep, tho. All I need to do now is to find a way to spend the rest of the afternoon at work now that I have exhausted all your e-mails. Maybe I can rearrange the letters on my keyboard to spell out rude words. Boobs, knickers, farting and red bulls.

Sinister: Using someone else's vague mention of something to plug your own thing...
by Stephen Hewitt 21 Jan '02

21 Jan '02

...if that makes any sense at all. ANYWAY ben said: Oh > and if anyone > fancies making it into a five day sinister marathon, there's > Track and Field > on the Friday night and a gig in Oxford the following Tuesday > that really > shouldn't be missed featuring our own Cola Cube Cay. (plug please?) IN FACT if anyone fancies coming to oxford on the SUNDAY 10 FEBRUARY (and i have it on good authority that ms cube herself will be there) you can come to MY fantastic evening of indie/pop sillyness, CLUB SUSSED at the very same venue (the cellar) that Cay's band are playing at (i'll leave the rest of her details to her, but i'm pretty sure their gig is the MONDAY, not tuesday). It's only 2squid to get in, it's from 8 til 12.30 (YAY, late licence) and, erm, we play loads of belle and sebastian and stuff (mainly stuff, admittedly, but quite a bit of b&s too). I am also considering having the monday off so i could give guided tours ("this is a pub, this is a very old building, this is another pub, this is a member of radiohead, this is a pub, this is chelsea clinton, etc etc") to any visitors. saw this in today's grauniad: http://jobs.guardian.co.uk/officehours/story/0,9897,636564,00.html thought mr cassarotto might like it (no mention of doing all the housework or w*nking lots in it though ;)) xoxo CarsmileSteve +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Took a walk on primrose hill.
by Hannah Brown 21 Jan '02

21 Jan '02

I haven't yet but i might do that this week. I wanted to make this a quickie but i have a feeling i will pad it out with nonsense. Madeline made a good point about mods, they are fab, but they are very mysterious (well the leicester ones anyway) because you NEVER see them in the day time, or in Asda or whatever. I always Imaginged that they lived in a little bedsit with a sink in the corner, some flowery wall paper and lots of records. In the mid ninetees, if you were very lucky, you would see one hanging around silver street but now they have fled elsewhere. The horrible truth about those mods is that they don't dress like that all the time and they probably wore suits especially to get in free. My main point of this post is that over christmas some people mentioned a book they had read, perhaps Madeline mentioned it???? this is stupidly vague but the book sounded sort of indie and nice (perhaps about a kid?) and i want to know what it is so i can buy it and read it and...and..... Ive read High Fidelity twice in one week now and i need more words!!!!! I don't have much else to say, nothing funny or interesting has happened that i can turn into a good story, i've just been painting and repeatedly cutting out the alphabet for fun. I did watch "Bloody Sunday" yesterday and found it very harrowing. There was so much about that night that i didn't know, i thought it was a brilliant version of the events (not that i was there or born or anything) it made me feel quite depressed and ashamed that i had no idea until last night that the officers who led the attack were commended by the queen. Joe Vester seems very fraught about valentine's day, well, i say, use it as a good excuse to spent LOTS of money on records and cake. Some of you lot have talked about Fruitloop mentions, and i don't think i've been mentioned yet, so go on Rachel, say something nice, if you can't then simply choose one of these delightful, pre-made compliments and paste them into your post ;> 1,that hannah girl really is such an intelligent and witty young thing, 2, I think i am going to move to london and live with hannah, she seems like so much fun 3,hannah really does rule the school Enough of this tomfoolery, i think i'm going to puke love tiny hannah +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: More toss
by Mark Casarotto 21 Jan '02

21 Jan '02

Hello. How many of you can honestly say that this morning you've cleaned the INSIDE of your kitchen dustbin? Huh? BApps (hohohohohohohoho! my sides!) asked what I do on the weekends. Well, it's usually a combination of undertaking, base jumping and beating off until I weep. Ideally all at the same time. Have you ever seen spunk and tears travelling at 120mph? Anyway, no time for housework on weekends, I'm just too, too crazy bonkers, you know. (hmm, I need a handy household tip) Don't cook fish, it stinks. (not a good tip. I'll try another) Don't let your extremely tidy girlfriend see your toilet when you haven't cleaned it for a while, as she'll BREAK your loo brush before you can say "oh well, I needed a new one anyway". (this isn't working very well. I shall go and visit some ladies' websites for something more appropriate). I hope no-one's posted this since the last digest - in an article on polls in yesterday's Observer, Trevor Baker included the following paragraph. It's nothing new, just nice to see our favourites in a national newspaper: "Ironically, the most successful exponents of this [multiple voting] technique aren't some industry-created hype-machine. In 1999, Belle and Sebastian, perhaps the most indie group in Britain, beat Steps to win Best Newcomer. According to the Brits' press office, approximately 1,000 of their votes were traced directly to one phone line at Strathclyde University. Belle and Sebastian won because their computer-literate student fans knew how easy and inexpensive it was to vote by email. This year, every voter has to give their name and home phone number in order to eliminate the threat of duplicate voting but, to an outraged Pete Waterman's disgust, the BPI declared that B+S and their fans had done nothing wrong." (full article is online at http://www.observer.co.uk/life/story/0,6903,636208,00.html) Anyway. I was intrigued by necrobabes.com, mentioned a couple of digests ago, so I went and had a look. My heavens! I strongly recommend innocent sinisterines check out the photo story - the writing is particularly special. Toodle pip - I'm off to find w**k. Can anyone recommend any good websites which offer jobs in British TV?

Sinister: a series of fortunate events
by R.Playforth＠sussex.ac.uk 21 Jan '02

21 Jan '02

what an exciting few weekends i now have to look forward to. this saturday i'm trolleying up to fair london to watch the comedy stylings of two gorgeous, if conceited, boys from york. then the following weekend i'll be in york myself, revisiting the old haunts, getting scared by the married state of my friend karen, and possibly kidnapping the sinister massive for pints of bitter (what do you think york girls and boys - fancy it?) and THEN on the following saturday it's the famous fabulous freaky flirty fantastic BRIGHTON MEETUP! ben apps wisely suggested that you city types come down together, in case you start to panic once you get south of the river, i suppose. but don't worry, your mobile phones will still work, and you won't become gay as soon as you pull in to brighton station (unless you want to.) i do hope racheljoe pancake can persuade his mum - what if i phoned her and she saw what a nice sensible sober girl i was, joe? <loud laughter from the rest of sinister> well, no content as such. just a happy excited archel who is Loving all your posts lately. especially the ones from my fellow rachels, not that i'm biased... luv archel xxx ps. i hope st peter isn't using his time here to mark our cards re. judgement day... think of the dirt he'd find on me in the archives. ****************** Visit www.buzzwords.org.uk for the best new writing on the web.

Sinister: We are, we are, we are the Mods
by Madeleine McNeil 21 Jan '02

21 Jan '02

I went out on Saturday night. I had a real cliche of a cold, all streaming eyes and red nose and sniffles and general misery. I sat next to a very very dull sci-fi fan at a Chinese restaurant. Anything produced without the involvement of William Shatner was pronouced 'crap'. I blew my nose on the Christmas napkins (a bit early, I think, but then Christmas does seem to get earlier every year, no?). It was a friend's birthday, she insisted on doing karaoke. I hate karaoke. It makes me squirm inside. My friend stood in front of the machine, singing occasionally, having a chat with her mates occasionally. I sniffled. Sexy Susan arrived in a cloud of expensive perfume and terrifying cleavage. She bought me a whisky, patted my shoulder, and told me to go dancing. I always do what Sexy Susan tells me to, so off I went. We went to a terrific club called Brighton Beach, mod/indie/hipster heaven. Aren't mod boys ace? I watched a group of them in their handsome suits and stramge little hair-dos dancing away and strutting their stuff. They're so... victorious, like a winning football team. And every sone that comes on, they look at each other and raise their fists in the air, "They're playing OUR song!" Of course they are, you silly boys, the flyer for the club has a picture of The Jam on the front! They look so proud and cocky. Bless 'em. It must be nice to be so pleased with life. It must be nice to have a gang to dance with and to swap ties with. Oh, and they looked so young! Sixteen years old and fresh faced. Yes, I was tempted to put one in my pocket. My own personal mod. I could stand him on the shelf and ask him style tips. I got rather drunk, and returned home with a bag of damp, snot-sodden tissues on my back. I went into #sinister for a wee chat, so I smoked and listened to TWATTYBUS and blathered on about nothing. After a while, I looked round my room. YIKES! There's a girl in my room! The loved one had snuck back to my house and was sitting on my bed. And had been for twenty minutes! How odd and rather spooky. She giggled at me, thought I was mad as a bucket. I signed off. I will soon have a Sinister visitor. Stacey Dahling is coming to play for a bit. I will take her for walks by the canal and out for noodles and then to see 'Storytelling' at my local independant arts venue. It's be nice to have someone new to talk to. I wonder if she knows what she's letting herself in for.... I got 70% on Laura Llew's friendship test. What does this mean? I'm not good enough to read to her, but I'm good enough to bind her books? I, too, await the next installment of Mark Casarotto's domestic chores saga with anticipation. When he runs out of floors to scrub, there's plenty here.

Sinister: Your life will be the death of me
by Laura Llew 21 Jan '02

21 Jan '02

Four hours and seven minutes ago your Laura Llew brought forth on this list to write a new post, conceived in insomniac ramblings and dedicated to any single boys open to the proposition of being dipped in chocolate. Until shiny objects merged with newfound follies to engage her in a making of a friendship.com quiz, testing whether you or anyone so dedicated can long endure the notion of actually being intimately familiar with the tempestuous little wench. http://friendtest.com/viewquiz.php?account=Lleweth * Naturally, the above quiz is littered with a multitude of mistakes but I suppose nothing would be truly Laura Llew if it weren't. It reminded me of the times when I had to come up with Ice Breakers for Group Therapy** and I would always choose my old standby of having everyone come up with three things about themselves and having the others try and decide which one was false. (Because I encourage lying and deceit. Afterall, I am a girl.) Last week, I met another list member when I went down to Atlanta for a book conference. Yes, I've gone from Sinister Shy to Sinister Skank (and you can too for just three payments of $19.95! It's fast & easy - not unlike what you'll be in just 3 months!) You probably know Jay from his adorably cute pictures of him dressed in an Eeyore costume on the photo page and I can assure you that he is nothing less than the MOST darling boy EVER! (and me with no pockets big enough to carry him home in!) Of course, he did accuse me of being a Sinister Con-artist with getting people to do things for me - like making mix tapes. No worries though - I simply had him read me a couple of Salinger stories to make up for such unfounded accusations. (I requested "For Esme' With Love & Squalor" just for you, Fairweather Farrell) I do enjoy meeting up with people from here even if it's just because I randomly find myself saying things such as, "It puts Genital Herpes to shame!' Speaking of meeting up, shame, and nothing at all to do with Genital Herpes - Maddie minxed, "If you'd like to send us gifts to celebrate, you're more than welcome. Laura would like a puppy, books and chocolate. I'd like, you know, shiny stuff. Oh, and a hip flask, please." Normally, I'd fight her over that hip flask but happily for Christmas I received a pair of Martini glasses with the following Dorothy Parkerism inscribed on them: I like to have a Martini Two at the very most Three I'm under the table Four I'm under my host Oh, Maddie, don't worry - green *is* your color! As for puppies, I tend to like pets that are much like myself - quiet, slow, not too energetic or drooling, fond of naps, and cute in that pathetic sort of way. (Think Flash from Dukes of Hazzard). As for books, I like them the same way I like my nights in Tijuana - leatherbound. This past week I was referred to as "GhostLady" whether this was due to my complexion, vanishing personality, or the fact I was ordering a ghost stories book from the publishingboy who called me this is debatable. It amused me nonetheless. Hainting & haunting, Laura * If you get nine right, I'll let you read to me! ** I was studying to become a therapist. Little did I know what I was really learning was several neurotic tendencies which would later be appropriate for me to discuss in therapy of my own. Not that I have but I'm well stocked in any case. _________________________________________________________________ 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.
