Sinister: Jamie does it again!
by Marianna Longmire 04 Dec '01

04 Dec '01

Good God. This evening, whilst stuck at work, I was watching the telly (one of the few perks of working at a b+b - getting paid to do nothing occasionally), when The Naked Chef came on the beeb. And the opening refrain? Legal Man. Eek! Egads! No! I hear you say. I feel violated. And I'm doubly offended by the number of times his Australian friends said "no worries". They give us all a bad name. Hurrumph.

Sinister: Enduring Love
by Kieran Devaney 04 Dec '01

04 Dec '01

Enduring love? Well, yes, of course and no, not at all. Enduring Love is also a book (notice the single speech marks around those two words, that denotes that Im referring to the book and not to the noun and adjective I remember writing in an essay once that Macbeth is a play my English teacher quite correctly scribbled green ink in the margin to the effect of Macbeth is not a play, Macbeth is a play, Macbeth is a character in the play Macbeth and I understood everything). Enduring Love (again the book), isnt very good, Ian McEwan is to blame, being the author. Clever? Well yes and no, he can certainly turn on the style when he wants to, but is the style what we really want? Well yes and no, or to be more precise, no. What made the book annoying was the type of plot that, were it a TV movie, Channel Five would gladly screen it, mixed in with overly scientific, often ugly prose relating to the psychologies of each situation in the book. This mainly focussed on the largely dull, ageing (but to quote John Peel: Show me someone who *isnt* ageing), male type and his on/off/sort of off/on/sort of on/sort of off/on/ambiguously ending relationship with a lady called Clarissa. McEwan's knowledge of science and psychology is enviable, precisely what makes the book annoying, for this is the style we dont want him to turn on. I wont spoil it for you but if you only read one book about a religious stalker who falls in love with the hero of the story during a freak hot air ballooning incident this year *dont* make it Enduring Love. I think it was Dorothy Parker (I hope so anyway, how awful it would be to have a quote falsely attributed to you), that said: This isnt a novel to be tossed aside gently, it should be thrown with great force. Im paraphrasing inevitably, but the sentiment is there. I was also going to write about people who start their newspapers at the back. But I realise I havent much else to say on the matter, and that such a phrase would be better kept back and used as part of a larger description of someone. For example: He was standing right in front of me, deliberating whether or not to purchase a Feeder album or not, I cursed him inwardly because I wanted to look at Fall records, but he was in the way; I reasoned that he was probably someone who started his newspaper at the back - Feeder fans generally are. This made me feel better, and I went to look at something else for a bit some Dylan CDs I think it was, and by the time I got back to the F section he had moved on. I never found out whether he bought that Feeder album or not. In a purely fictional situation like that the phrase works, gives something to the otherwise drab words and is the most interesting thing about the passage. I wonder though, how much of what I say is a quotation then, quoting myself. Storing up words inside you to recontextualise, or change for a different audience, perhaps to pass off as spontaneity seems callous, but I do it all the time. *cut* *change track* How our inflections and mannerisms change the shape of our thoughts in the space between our brain and our voice so that they come out as something quite different. Does this really matter? Are the perceptions people have of us not as true a reflection of our personalities as what we feel inside? Well, yes and no. Its too big a question to answer with anything concrete really. Its one of those novelty questions we ask to make ourselves feel better and less insignificant: If I keep questioning then I shall find answers. Except, comfortably, conveniently we wont. Its like talking about cultural differences but only alluding to the differences in spelling between colour and color or the contrast between elevator and lift. Doesnt get us anywhere, but its nice to think about it sometimes, and occasionally some truth might be got at, or some semblance of it at least. Im rambling, inevitably; but isnt the noble interaction between man and machine comforting! Words transformed from brain to keyboard to screen, its incredible really. Evolution in full flow, synapses triggering motor neurones (please correct my biology here, I'm almost inevitably wrong, I didn't deserve that 'B' at GCSE; I feel such a fraud), the whole of science and language and art and literature coming together. If I felt the need I could just tap at these keys with my stream of consciousness all night and feel a kind of plastic wholesomeness. When I was in primary school, and we had RM Nimbus 5s (isnt wallowing in nostalgia almost too easy to be fun?), and the very act of seeing what I had typed up on the screen, a screen which was tangible, but the words not, was fascinating. Intangible words on a tangible screen. Somewhere, in that mess of stubby prose there could be a metaphor for out times - something spurious about having the technology but not being able to control it. Enough doe-eyed wonder interspersed with melodramatic vitriol I think. Ill write something proper soon, Im building myself up to it by going through it in my head over and over, very therapeutic.

Sinister: slithy toves
by stacey dahling 04 Dec '01

04 Dec '01

hey you sexy thangs you'll be glad to know that my epic navel-gazing and brat-sitting posts may be over. oh yes. i've found a new outlet for my self-involved babble. named, a silly site: http://www.dreamwater.net/slithytoves (i had another host but they DELETED me! already! i didn't even have a chance to offend! hmph.) and a diaryland diary. mmm hmmmmm. who else of you is on there? i've been playing with the silliness for a few fun sleepless nights (and maybe that is reflected in the yet unfinished product..hmmm) and it's also given me many ideas. one of them is to collect things. like poems. from everyone i talk to. like you and you and you. please pen a verse or two for me. the shorter and more abstract the better. yes. you'll see. or you can. there are a few already. anonymous. at callooh callay. anyway...i'm bored. humour me. i did find really odd tove-related things actually. they scare me, some of them. as does a hippie calls himself the frumious bandersnatch. there are lots of lists, too. i like lists. of things i like. mail me. visit me. love me.

Sinister: FWD: RE: Bus to Belfast
by trish delish 04 Dec '01

04 Dec '01

attention to the kids of the irish sinister massive i thought it would be easier to mail this to sinister for all to see, since i don't have contact details for some of the lurkers...below is an email from the promoter for the belfast gig, confirming that the belfast bus has been cancelled due to lack of interest - since when did all the b&s fans have big pots of gold from which to hire private jets and the like ( i presume that's how they're getting there anyway) so if mark sweeney cares to organise a bus, there are five of us in need...otherwise, someone mentioned digging out their dog on wheels - can i have a jaunt? i'll just grab on to the tail or summat... this does cast a bit of a pall on it for me, it may work out to cost a hell of a lot of money in the end, but as i keep telling myself - it'll be worth it! any irish members with ideas, please share them quick! trish delish >===== Original Message From Colin Murray <colin.murray(a)bbc.co.uk> ===== Hi, It's actually true, I.m afraid What happened is quite simple. People in Dublin were buying tickets for the gig at a very fast rate, but not for the bus. In fact, the only tickets left were for bus / gig. Therefore, if we had have kept the bus on, Ticketmaster predicted we would have had only 10 - 20 people on bus, which would have cost the charity money. We couldn't justify this. I think you and your friends were the only ones needing the bus as we sold NO tickets! I knwo this is a nightmare for you and I thought of you at the time but I had NO option. I can recommend cheap place to stay up here and the trains are cool and they stop in Newry!

Sinister: Hollyoax and 'Enders
by Apps Ben (Mr B) 04 Dec '01

04 Dec '01

There is misery in all I hear and see >From the people on TV After my tea when Corrie starts again I'll be watching channel 3 There are a million people slagging Emmerdale on Points of View, I saw today It was Dot I met in the Launderette with a girl from Weatherfield She spoke of Doctor Legg I didn't understand But the one thing she made clear Jim was not coming on to her There were no glasses left That he could collect But he couldn't see That Dot just wants to be Left alone with Mark and Ethel for a while (I'm writing in the style of one of KenChu's posts) hmm......apologies to non-UK (and non-soap watching) listees. Hello Everyone! This will be the last post to sinister by Apps Ben (Mr B). PFW (thanks Rener!) are asking questions. He's gonna miss you all dearly. Watch your backs though, while he's away his evil kid brother "benapps(a)hotmail.com" will try do assume his identity and do all manner of silly things. PF spoke about George Harrison - I've grown to appreciate the Beatles as I've got older, and the way my mum talks about them really emphasises what a special time they lived through and I suppose influenced too. In a way I think it's an especially sad death because of the number of people around the world who will be saddened. Christmas. I'm pretty ambivolent to it really. As a kid it meant extra choir practices, carol concerts and midnight mass, so I've got fond memories. I don't remember ever believing in Father Christmas though. Now I kind of switch off to it, my family don't speak much round the year and that doesn't change at Xmas, even if we're in the same room. Aren't I a bundle of joy! Hopefully this will be rectified by drinking and dancing tomorrow night to Tompaulin and Camera Obscura. I know I'll see YOU there ;-) humbug Ben xxx P.S. I think I forgot to say Fruitloop!! how could I? +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

None

hello, i got a big fat warning from yahoo this morning, telling me i was nearing my 6MB storage limit and to get my arse in gear and clean out my mailbox. unfortunately this happened at a time when i was very busy at work, so i was forced to do a rather thorough job of it and get rid of the pile of mails i'd stocked up to reply to in one fell swoop as soon as i had time. so no individual mail comments, sorry - although two or three managed to catch my attention as they whizzed past me into the dustbin ... pinefox, your piece on george harrison knocks the socks off anything else i've read about him recently. respect. vodkabird, your piece on flatmates made me chuckle, laugh, and guffaw. i now feel like i've had it very easy flatmate-wise. dahling's greek meetup in march sounds soooo tempting, especially today looking out at the wintry sky. don't know if i'll make it, but what an idea! ... there were too many more mails, so i'll stop there. i've got a PFW (person from work - people from work are always weird, don't you find?) interested in belle and sebastian! he saw my computer wallpaper, composed of ken chu's winning entry in the TOTP drawing contest, and he said "who the hell are belle and sebastian?". i played it cool, replied "oh, they're a band", but he wanted more info as he'd never heard of them. so i pointed him to some web sites and off he went. i thought no more about it until i got a mail later that day - our PFW had perused the websites and found the whole thing so intriguing he went to amazon and downloaded what he could find of B&S ... and he was most impressed. "i didn't know there were still bands like this - a sort of early smiths vibe, isn't it?", meaning not just the music but the whole fan community thing. really, it was a great feeling, enabling the discovery of B&S by someone who'd no prior knowledge of them at all. and a PFW as well! my prejudices vis a vis PFWs have taken yet another battering recently, having met a lady PFW who - gasp! -likes comics. how strange. the moral of the story is: never underestimate PFWs. contrary to appearances, it's very possible they share the same rich inner life you do. the person you seem in the work environment is seldom the whole you, after all. so, embrace your PFWs! share the love! dare to throw cultural references into conversations by the water cooler! because *you never know* ... that's it from me. i hear the tea machine calling. rener ===== "Those are my principles.

Sinister: A catalogue of immaturity
by MyMomSays＠aol.com 04 Dec '01

04 Dec '01

12/3/2001 9:58 p.m. and I'm writing a professor begging to make up a grade. You'd think a 21 year-old in her fourth year of college would have learned to grow up by now and quit procrastinating and well, get on the horse. And get it done. But--as I creep toward my septic thirties, I find myself scuttling toward the antithesis of what I am supposed to me doing--that being, taking care of business, scheduling appointments, doing my taxes on time, cleaning up after myself--the truth is, I am far from that. I am a messy little beetle who couldn't save herself to save herself (props to the Lucksmiths for that one). Here's a catalogue of my growing immaturity. ITEM A00985-- TOTALLY FULL OF SHIT Here we have what we call a pretentious tone of voice and propped posture, a cigarette balanced between a claw-like hand, and a confident rolling voice. Underneath her own skin, the petitioner is very much creeped out by the completely full-of-shit tone of voice she has--everything the defendant says, the petitioner accidentally mocks, accidentally rolling her eyes--and my god, it's like someone else is talking for her. See; what it comes down to is that I am the most full of shit person I've ever met. I am just absolutely always blowing smoke. Count on me to completely embellish something. Whenever I am conversing with someone I do not know very well my mind just wriggles at the lameness that escapes from my mouth; how I can manage to sound soooo pretentious and yet, completely self-deprecating at the same time. I'm a daft ho-bag. ITEM Z-56UT A GIMMICK I seem to always be involving myself with something gimmicky. Three months ago I decided I wanted Ice Cube to be my favorite actor. It wasn't like anything really drove me to a point where I thought he was a really great guy, or even that he had really great hair, but I just liked the idea of it all. Ice Cube. Whose favorite actor is Ice Cube? Nobody. A week ago I decided that I should like Duran Duran. Like, be Duran Duran crazy--have my handbag covered in Duran Duran badges, talk constantly about the genius of Simon LeBon, have a room peppered in Duran Duran memorabilia. For the same reasons as Ice Cube, there was no real motivation for behind this gimmick, so it failed before it even began. ITEM 45re4480 TOTALLY FEEL SORRY FOR ME My life is really boring and uneventful, but oftentimes I totally feel sorry for myself. I just wail on my bed and cry about the days when I was goth. There is oh-so-much more.. to be continued.

Sinister: strokestickets, euphoria and strange meetings at bus stops.
by Astrid Wiezell 03 Dec '01

03 Dec '01

Hello hey sinister cuties! I hope that you are all feeling good tonight, i know i do. i haven´t got the slightest idea why, but i am in a good mood. oh well. i shouldn´t complain, hee hee. The nowadays married Lawrence Mikkelsen wrote: **SODASTREAM** How come no one has ever told me about them? I discovered them about a month ago and have become obsessed. Any other fans? Their new album " A Different Lifetime" is a work of genius, if only for the song "Scottish Pop" which namechecks both Stuart Murdoch and Edwyn Collins. They remind me of Orange Juice in a way, along with a bit of Hefner and Cinerama and "His'n'Hers" era Pulp thrown into the mix. I guess it was just a mix-up, but it is Spearmint that you are talking about. They´re albums Songs for the colour yellow (early singles & b-sides) A week away Oklahoma! and A different Lifetime is absolutely gorgeous, I love them so much. And just the singer´s name; Shirley Lee! You can´t help but adore him. Spearmint are great, they make really grate and lovely pop. A friend recommended them to me back in easter 2000, the same time as when i discovered the fluffy cardiganworld of B&S. and i haven´t regretted it since :) We´re celebrating Saint Lucia in Sweden. It´s originally from Italy, so I think they celebrate it there too, but in Sweden, we all get to wear like.. robes.. kind of.. well..er.. a white kind of robe, often with horrible lace collar on it as well, looks like something that you´re supposed to sleep in. and you make like walk in a sort of procession (dunno if it´s what it´s called but i do not have the strength to go to my room and get the dicionary), with the girl who´s the Lucia first, she has the white-robe-thing, a red, silk band tied around her waist and a crown with burning candles in her hair. (when you´re a wee kid you have small electric one´s instead of real candles of course, imagine lots of candles and lots of restless kids, not a good combination). and after her, the other girls walk, holding one candle each with the white-robe-things and silverglitter in their hair, it looks like soft gloria´s resting on their heads, relly beautiful, and some of the boys have the white-robe-thing on, and little papercones on their head with golden stars on and a stick with a big golden star on it. as being 15-yr-old-boys, most of them start to duel with the sticks instead of looking like "starboys" (that´s what they´re called, pretty, huh?) but they´re kinda sweet anyway. after them, three boys or girls walk in brown clothes, supposed to be gingerbreadboys (or girls) and they have a special little song to sing that´s a real swedish classic ("we come from gingerbreadland"). after them, some boys and girls also dress up in red clothes and are santa´s little helpers. then we all stand with our burning candles and whiterobethings and sing way too high-pitched-songs made for seven year old-girls and not for us. but altogether, it always turn out so incredbily beautiful, all dark except for the lucia and the girls with candles. it must sound *so* strange. i´m going to be one of the angelgirls this year. i always am. although, one year i was a gingerbread girl and i´ve been santa´s helper quite a few times as well. if you think *that* sounds strange, wait til the time when i tell you about midsummer when we dance around a leaf-clad-pole in a ring pretending we are frogs, mosquitos and elephants. i´ll tell you about that some other time, kids. I love the new single. I think it´s bloody great. I´ve got two friends getting intereted in B&S through it. YAY! I´ve only just started to appreciate Marx & Engels. And now I fully love all of the tracks to the max. They are all gorgeous! There are so many sweet and nice people on sinister, I want to say hello to: Tom: miss you miss you miss you miss you. *sigh* Rachel Oj: you´re the best! ever! i hope we get to meet soon, come to sweden again, now! Ken Chu: Well, um, hello. I listened to some of the Red Bulldozer´s tracks. Actually just Like A Virgin, but I downloaded it at a friends because she can download so much quicker than i, and it just came on repeat and none of my friends or i notices until we all realised that we were having a great singalong, all of us singing the lyrics whilst looking at photo´s and me at sinisterposts. hee hee. James: Look out for Sally :) And to everyone I´ve forgot to mention because of my ruddy memory: hello to you too. I got tickets to go see the strokes today, yay! i might get backstagepasses as well, but that´s not clear yet. anyway, i made an excuse fo rmyslef to go earlier form class, went to the telephonebox and called the ticketplace. aah. it will be so great, but it´s on the March 4th, so it´s some time left before the actual event. today our band, brighten, (http://www.brightenyeah.cjb.net) met up with a strange girl from the internet that might sing in our band. we had decided to meet at a bus stop. we did. it was quite strange, but she seemed quite nice actually. but i don´t know. hmm. we´ll have to rehearse with her and see how it goes. we might take in a boy on the drums also, christopher, he´s a very kind person. i like him. not in *that* way, but he´s cool and a very good drummer. now my friends, i shall not torture you with weird swedish traditions or my rambling. take care! love and stars, Astrid x _________________________________________s_p_r_a_y_ Här börjar Internet!
