Sinister: Only 356 days until Christmas...
by Gardiner, Stuart 03 Jan '02

03 Jan '02

So, Christmas has come and gone. The good thing about it: seeing the family again. The bad thing about it: talking with the family again. I decided the best way to cope was to not sober up for the whole week. Other popular activities indluded watching Banzai videos as much as possible, and eating far too much chocolate (is there such a thing?). One of the advantages of having a mother working part-time in Thorntons... I like Dahling's idea that how you spent New Years Eve was how you want to die. In my case, outdoors somewhere, ridiculously drunk. That figures. At about midnight, I tried looking back at the last year, but I fell over. The best thing I saw in 2001 also, like Struan, involved football. And the numbers five and one. I made two New Year's Resolutions. The first was to do 50 sit-ups every day to get rid of the effects of the Christmas alcohol, which has a tendency to turn your six-pack into a keg. This resolution lasted, erm, about 0 minutes, since I haven't done a single sit-up yet. The second resolution was to travel to Guatemala, Belize and Honduras in May / June. Which should be a bit easier to stick to. Further festive joy came with the announcement that Steps have split up. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, Mr Waterman. Apparently, two of the five band members wanted to break the band up; and so obviously, by Mr Waterman's counting methods, that meant that they won the vote. "Snipp snapp snut, sa var sagan slut!" (see below). Anyone?

Sinister: Snow Bunnies
by Willitron300 03 Jan '02

03 Jan '02

1. IT'S SNOWING! IT'S SNOWING! IT'S SNOWING! IT'S SNOWING! IT'S SNOWING! IT'S SNOWING! IT'S SNOWING! IT'S SNOWING! IT'S SNOWING! IT'S SNOWING! IT'S SNOWING! IT'S SNOWING! IT'S SNOWING! IT'S SNOWING! 2. Ok. Have I mentioned? IT'S SNOWING!! IT'S SNOWING!! IT'S SNOWING!! IT'S SNOWING!! IT'S SNOWING!! IT'S SNOWING!! IT'S SNOWING!! This is the best thing in the world. It's up to a few inches already and I can't sleep cos I'm so excited. I've already got a sledding day planned tomorrow with my friend Sybil. (Sadly the snow this evening the snow wasn't accumulated enough to sled plus I ought to be asleep already.) We were on the phone plotting where the best hills are. Libbie Hill Park has a great extra steep hill; but sadly at the bottom of the hill is Main Street. You have to pull some Wu-Tang-Hi-Karate-Kung-Fu stylee sledding shit to not glide into the street. Ah, but there are more parks: Chimborazo, Forest Hill, the sides of the Water Resevoir... Plus friends who live out in the country with hills and trees and shit. Snow's so gorgeous; it's nature's glitter. The air is all crisp; none of this 97% humidity with no rain business. And all the pollen, mold, and dust is frozen away. Everything is all glistening, glowing and smooth. It's as if sunlight fell to earth. The usually orange-grey chemical-tone city sky is a nice creamsicle colour. I can't explain the degree to which snow makes me happy. It's not hot. I spend at least 8 months of the year cursing the climate. Autumn and Spring are nice unless the weather is being a beotch and perpetrating a fraud as a different season. I mean 80 degrees farenheit in November on the Mid-Atlantic seaboard of the US? That's just wrong. Do you understand how tempted I am, now at 3am, to go make a snow angel in my front yard? A snow angel on cement? Oh yes. I just wanna go find a field of undisturbed snow (ahem...that's virgin snow) and lay down in the middle and watch the flakes fall. But that would get really cold after about a a minute and a half. And the local inbred-hooligan-spawn-of-satan-children would probably fuck with me. 3.5 Yes, even in the middle of the night. The kids've probably got sensors in their brains for anyone whose sister isn't also their mother. Really, this extra swanky reputable university did this study of inbreeding in Virginia. Turns out Oregon Hill, my neighbourhood, has the highest rate of inbreeding in the state. There are the locals ad then there other residents of the area are artists and hippees. Like me. See, I'm proud of my backwoods childhood. Y'know, no indoor plumbing except cold water until 1987, fireplace heating for the house, walking a mile uphill both ways to the school bus. But these kids are not even back woods. They give being a redneck a bad name. There are loads of rebel flags hung proudly and teenagers who listen to gangsta rap but hate anyone who isn't white. But I digress. 3. Snow Bunnies is the tentative name of my tentative exhibition. Crossing my fingers that the flaky gallery owners are not gonna flake out. 4. Katy Dutton, are you here? I have apologies and tapes to send your way and I've lost all your details. 5. Ok. Here's something. I want to know what you listen to. Or rather what you're listening to now. Cos if you're like me or if I'm like you, you listen to a broad range of stuff but go through phases of listening to narrower categories of music by the day or by the week. You've gotta be into music if you're here right? Hell, maybe you only listen to nice in the best way pop music. That's not such a bad thing to listen to. E-mail me your playlist. Meaning what you've listened to this week, not whats on your shelf and not your fave albums ever. Here's mine. My CD player died a slow painful death so most of these are on tape. The few that are on CD I've listened to on either my studio stereo or my computer. The computer makes a crap CD player cos the stereo speakers also died a slow painful death a while ago. Right, what's a sound card worth with a tinny mono speaker? Well, lots; but that's a whole 'nother story. And the only requirement for the studio stereo is that it can get fucked up. These are in alphabetical order: Alice Deejay: Who Needs Guitars Anyway? Beatles: Abbey Road Belle and Smellycat: The Red One Bis: Social Dancing The Commitments Soundtrack Part 1 Danielle Dax: Blast The Human Flower the delgados: the Sucrose Single DJ Shadow: Brainfreeze Garbage: Beautiful Garbage Janis Joplin: Greatest Hits Compilation Mazzy Star: The First Two Albums Morrissey: Bona Drag* The Orb: Orbus Terrarum Pizzicato 5: Happy End of Me The Remix Album The Primitives: Pure My Own Superb Mix Tape The Siamese Cat Song 7" from Lady and the Tramp Slam vs. Unkle: Narco Tourists Slurped: A CD compilation of loads of 7"s used in Brainfreeze A Soul & Funk DJ's }}Superb{{ Mix Tapes The Symphonic Rock Series: Classic Rock and The British Invasion A Tribe Called Quest: Midnight Marauders Various Random Live Shit from Different Folks Lurve, Vilkas who owes all her friends letters * This album never fails. It never fails to bring back memories of high school. Hanging out at whomever's house that the parents were gone. Turning the Interesting Drug 12" up to eleven and me and my mates making our own club in the living room, dancing around like idiots, in the middle of the boonies, at least 30 miles away from even the nearest movie theatre. Drinking whatever beer the older kids would score and smokin' whatever was passed around, bein' dumb, and bein' dumb some more. Also, !that! noise Morrissey make in Hairdresser On Fire never fails to crack me up. Sounds like a Siamese cat passing a kidney stone. Everyday is Like Sunday never fails to remind me of Arbroath#. #Q: Where does a pirate go for his vacation?

Sinister: A film.
by Sam Walton 03 Jan '02

03 Jan '02

Hello once again. I'm back, after a two-week repost to eat, drink and be faux-merry around various family members. Christmas and New Year? Both fine, thank you very much. New Year was slightly B&S tinted, culminating in me singing the entirity of Tigermilk at one Jo Perry (of this parish) at about 4am on 1st January, which was entertaining. I write, however, to recommend a film. I don't often see a movie which inspires me to tell 1503 other people about it, but I implore you to go and see The Pledge. It's gorgeous, it really is. It's basically about obsession and what it does to a man, but at the same time, it asks subtle questions surrounding God, what He can do, and divine intervention and all that stuff. It's also wonderfully shot, with some wonderful imagery and references. Just go and see it. It's very slow moving, but it doesn't drag. If it were an album, it would be a Low album - slow and beautiful. And that's all I really wrote to say. Damn it's cold round these parts. Stay warm everybody. love Asm.x ================= "He's strictly a pain in the ass, but he certainly has a good vocabulary" - Holden Caulfield _________________________________________________________________ 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: i feel heavenly when she says i am heavenly but she is more heavenly
by Danny Farrell 02 Jan '02

hello lovelies, it's been a wee while,i guess. so much has happened, so. I was indeed part of the lovely dundee group just before christmas consisting of mr william gneissy,zozefina and of course the adorable if slightly bossy rachel.the last dundee picnic,which was wonderful, consisted of only four people so was this another unofficial picnic,i wonder. we ate fajita's and drank sangria,and lot's was said,and lot's was not said too.a lovely time. I've had the flu through most of christmas,i managed to make it to the B&S gig though but i was quite delirious through most of it though,which wasn't fun and can remember very very little of it. the christmas period was fun indeed,mostly spent with alan and ryan.Hearts were broken and drink was consumed and hearts where mended a little and hearts changed hands and some stars were allowed to shine brighter in the sky as some fell.Oh did i mention drink was consumed,i guess maybe a little too much,or maybe not enough.i....me,well i did what i always try to do.i strived for the future,the one where i get what i truly want,regardless of proposals from ex's and ex friend girls,who i really wish would just leave me alone to be.be me,be complete. yes friend-girls and ex's. the ex never leaves me alone,but it seems the friend-girl she only ever wants me when i don't need her,when i have someone else,when i have the chance to be happy,she crawls out of the woodwork and tries to do everything she possibly can to throw the proverbial spanners in the machinery,but she didn't,i didn't let her.for once.and i don't intend to ever.i have hope. i met the adorable kirsten marie kenyon who it seemed was just as much the fun queen in the flesh as she is on our very own wee sinister,although this was only from five minutes as the poor wee soul was shattered from travelling et al. she gave me saltine crackers from someone,not someone random,someone in particular.my baker.bakers usually make bread not crackers,this baker is special. I have talked with a few of my friends about nirvana recently,i'm not sure why actually,but yes,i used to really like them,now i don't.very little anyway.anyway,yes theres something that draws me back to them very infrequently when i feel a certain way and here it is.

Sinister: tonight auld lang syne means leave before the kissing starts...
by Andrew Williams (UKHQ - Merch) 02 Jan '02

02 Jan '02

Hello Sinister, Hope you are all well and had a great new year. We had a fantastic time at Track & Field in London, and also managed to catch up with the Strange Fruit people as well so all in all we saw just about everybody. I have been happy since Christmas cos I got a dart board, and it is now my new years resolution to score 180 in open play, hopefully against Matt Powell. My other resolutions are to have a song I write played on the radio, continue to stop smoking and write two books (one fiction, one non-fiction). I thought I would drop you a line, beacuse there was a little mini-interview with Stuart in the Scotsman the other day (I buy it for the Derek Allen crossword) and I thought you might be interested, hope it hasn't already been mentioned. There is probably a link to a website, but anyway, here it is... STUART MURDOCH, SINGER WITH BELLE & SEBASTIAN. Best thing you saw in 2001? "Gary Teale's mesmerising performances in the Ayr midfield. We will miss him." Best thing you heard? "The Camera Obscura LP." Strongest memory? "Sarah singing 'Baby', a beautiful Brazilian song, to beautiful Brazilians in Sao Paulo." Looking forward to...? "I'm looking forward to seeing more of the ball." New Year's resolution? "I resolve to become immortal. And then die." And that was it really. Nice plug for the Camera Obscura album though, and well done to them and Saloon for their Festive 50 placings. For anyone who's interested my favourite album of 2001 was "Once" by the Tyde. Right, well I'll be off then. See some of you soon, the rest of you take care, lots of love, Andrew.

Sinister: drifting into the arena of the unwell
by R.Playforth＠sussex.ac.uk 02 Jan '02

02 Jan '02

i saw in the new year with a quick snog before returning to suitably festive programming - 'the wicker man' on channel 4. we know how to party in brighton. i had been to a party beforehand, actually, but left as soon as vomit became a feature. i am a grown-up now, after all. christmas was fine, lovely. chaos did threaten to break out over a game of Balderdash, due to my gran forgetting the rules every 5 seconds, but a few more gin and tonics all round and we were miraculously in harmony again. at least one member of the family was asleep at any given moment on xmas day, which also helped keep the peace. i did not go bowling. this is because i was dramatically ill with what may have been flu, but was more likely chocolate withdrawal. also my boyfriend hoovered up my knitting by mistake so my bowling outfit was ruined... instead i pondered a lot on the events of 2001 (both personal and political) and decided that i am in danger of wasting my life. coming back to work and finding the place like a tomb hasn't helped with this feeling - i'm doing about as much good behind this desk as a stapler. i suppose the fact that i'm moving into my lovely flat at the dawning of 2002 is a good omen, but what was i thinking renting an attic? i have spent the morning lugging shelves, futons, chairs and assorted junk up an unreasonable number of stairs and have rushed to work probably covered in dust. well, only 363 more days to mess up... luv archel xxx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: A short word on ornithology
by Rebecca Wright 02 Jan '02

02 Jan '02

Felicitous salutations to y'all on this the new year and the dawning of my time out of the nursery. Guess how many times I nearly but not quite slid over and fell on my arse whilst walking through this frosty winter wonderland on my way to work?! The highlight of my hols was Friday when I saw Courtney Pine down at the jazz cafe in Camden, I had a copy of 'Fold your hands child..' with me- recently purchased at a late nite record store when we found we'd shown up 2 hours early. Started off with a jazzy version of Nirvana's 'Come as you are', the rest of the evening was just a joyous noise for my untrained ear but apparently there was some Zeppelin and others entwined within. The rest of the time was spent watching late night Hitchcock with my sister, 'Rear Window' makes it almost possible to forgive James Stewart for 'It's A Wonderful Life' plus I had forgotten just how wonderfully papier-mache the villains of 'The Birds' were. And now a loud cheer for the wonderful people at RSPB or National Trust- whoever it was who now has my home town swarming with red kites. At first it was all top secret and only Mr Gibbons the farmer had any confirmed sightings but on one of my bored, post A-level rambles lo' above one hillock was a big eagle type bird with that concave tail kites have! For a good ten minutes I watched it until *BANG* both of us jump. What sounds awfully like a gun echoes for a second time from the house at the bottom of said hillock. A mental picture- red faced tweed infested Berkshire farmer "Ge' Offw my Lan'!!", some evil bastard who deserves to be hung up by his toe-nails has been poisoning some of the kites so maybe it's the bird and not me he's aiming for. In the end we both scarper just to be on the safe side (in retrospect I admit it was most likely a car back-firing.) And now Sinister these gorgeous birdies have found a nice little niche in the Chiltern ecosystem and are everywhere, along the roadsides, circling over admin's pub lunches, one swooping low over the back garden one Sunday- The End. Becky P.S. cheers to whoever posted that review on The Reindeer Section, have purchased accordingly. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: (My ball's got) miraculous technique
by Kenneth P Y Chu 02 Jan '02

02 Jan '02

Oh no the snow stop snowing, maybe we'll get some bowling* and drinking in, before taking off to the skys pretend that you're giraffe, why does her lazy eye rest on his skin, his balls and his bowling shoes? Take a look, around you, the spring had sent the sound of rain upon your window sill So grab your balls and hit a strike for me I think that I've forgotten how to bowl but I know the reason I want to curl shots down a lane That's why we're on the late shift He stole his shoes, I've bought a crate of red bull To commemorate the day Take a look, around you There's too much drinks around the table where you're sitting still so grab your straw, and suck it all for me STRINGS AND FLUTE BIT And now my legs are weak, but if I Hear DDR speak then I'll start dancing She's got miraculous technique If I could be a song, I could be that one that they played in stevie's room And dance with you the whole night long Take a look, around you, the drinks had sent me all dancing around the windowsill so grab your coat, and worship songs for me <Slightly properer reporting back> So, that was the London division of the SINISTER INTERNATIONAL BOWLING DAY. Our effort was 15 people strong, and we split into three teams and played against each other, in the friendliest of ways. (i.e. no tripping up people on opposing teams) Overall winner were the "enzymes" who won convincingly despite losing 2 team members during the second game. Top score of the day was 157. We then carried on drinking, played DDR, and then danced to some P!O!P! at Mr Trousers'. Highlights include the successful stealing of bowling shoes, the drinking of beer, the exhibition of world-class level pool playing, the purchase of too many energy drinks, the eating of food, the "stereo worshipper" dancing. Thank you for everyone who turned up, hope you all had a great time, and more thanks to miss SGS for having the original idea of going bowling in the first place, and the boy G, who claimed the prize of a pair of lovely (smelling) bowling shoes. So, where are the reportings back from the rest of the world's SINISTER INTERNATIONAL BOWLING DAY? Hope you all went bowling! Or I would be very disappointed. Red Bulls and Red Bulls Ken * just as a note of interest, apparently "bowling" in the original sturan song refers not to 10-pin bowling but the much more exciting crown green bowling. _________________________________________________________________ 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: Are we talking about the bird or the chocolate bar?

Roight Hello. Well i hope you've all been having fun over christmas and new year. i've been sat around.... i've done a bit of work... i went to sheffield and met will and dimitra which was nice... i went to nottingham and walked around going 'gah this is so much better than leicester' which i do periodically to remind myself that my home city is ace. and it is. so there. My mission for over christmas was to say the words 'my band' in as many sentences as possible, with as many people as possible... apparently its 'subtle advertising' and people who previously hated us will be flocking to see us when we next play (this month.. hurrah)... that was the plan.... 'it makes me sound like i'm in a pathetic college band though' i whined when it was suggested to me.... 'but you are in a pathetic college band' was the answer... which is very true... my band my band my band my band. ahem. New years is always such an anticlimax isn't it? I went to a party. sat around. got cold (ooh did i mention it had snowed in leicester? now i can join in these snow conversations that everyone seems to be having. hurrah) and then went home. ooh but its now 2002. wow. it sounds very futuristic doesn't it? Just think of all that science fiction that is set now, and last year as well. I have a horrible feeling we're disappointing past generations though. Lets see, influencial inventions of the last decade... erm... dual cyclone vacuum cleaner... dvd players....and i saw a body dryer thing on tomorrows world which was quite impressive... sigh. how depressing. oh hang on you're supposed to be positive for the new year aren't you. damn. Well anyway, I hope all Sinister people have a super grate 2002 with extra bits of grateness stuck in unexpected places (erm... please interpret this is the most innocent sense). its gonna be a super grate year methinks.
