Sinister: Belfast! Belfast!
by Dirty Vicar 02 Dec '01

02 Dec '01

Does anyone remember the song 'Belfast' by Boney M? It was a jaunty piece of disco nonsense about the socio-political situation in the northern capital during the 1970s. As far as I remember, most members of Boney M were immigrants to Germany from central Africa who spoke no English, so they were completely unaware of the seriousness of the lyrics they sang. In only a few weeks, I'll be going up to Belfast with my best girl, that's up from sunny Dublin. Obviously we're going up there to see popular Scottish group Belle & Sebastian, which will be nice. I think there ought to be a Belfast meetup before the gig, is anyone game? I'm not really sure of a location, and I reckon if there are any Belfast-based listers they might be able to help here. One thought that flitted through my mind was meeting in the Botanic Gardens during the day, as they are kind of central while also being kind of near the University area where the band are playing. But maybe it would be too parky for an out-door meetup and instead we should go to some cosy bar with a roaring log fire to drink hot ports and chit chat about stuff. Any suggestions? Meanwhile, in news about me, I've been to the United States of America. There are lots of squirrels there. I saw one hiding some walnuts in the base of a tree, and considered stealing them on him but decided against it. I also discovered that the Moldy Peaches are B*R*I*L*L*I*A*N*T and can see why everyone loves them. They're kind of like an American Vaselines or something, which is obviously a good thing. I also bought a fab compilation CD called "Ultra Chicks Vol.6". It's not the soundtrack to a Russ Meyer film, but rather a collection of very likeable French pop tunes sung by women and girls from the past. If you had volumes 1 - 5 as well and a CD multi-changer set to shuffle-play you would have a Bowlie disco of your own in your living room, which would be groovey. Mark Sweeney, meanwhile, mentioned that the bus to Belfast has been cancelled, which is a bit poor really. I've already got other commitments up north so I won't be able to join in with any bus hiring pranks. And I suppose I should disjointedly mention the new B&S single. I'm not really that taken with it - with the title track anyway. I still haven't bonded with it, yeah. I find the funny vocal inflections Stu-Boy adopts on it a bit strange. Obviously though, I love 'I Love My Car' as it brings back happy Uptown Shufflers related memories. And 'Marx & Engels' is endearing in a b-sidey kind of way. But overall, nyeh, try harder next time. OK, off to write zines and stuff. bless you all, DV +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Saturday, afternoon, raining...
by arlequim＠osite.com.br 02 Dec '01

02 Dec '01

Hi, Sinister... It's raining... a little, but raining. I can't help sharing wih you the happiness of knowing that tomorrow I'm gonna get my own private copy of "I'm Waking Up To Us", which took just a week to arrive in Brazil. while I write these lines, it's waiting for me at my brother's house. I'll pick it tomorrow. From all you people have already said about the tracks, I couldn't tell if I am gonna like it or not - although I must admit that, when we come to a certain point of identification with an artist or band, there's no more reason to say things as like or dislike, because we're gonna buy everything anyway. In the case of B&S, and particularly in the case of Stuart's works, I feel like there's a direct connection between what he says and what I experiment... so, if something B&S puts out suck, I'll probably have to conclude that something in my life is discretly sucking too... But it's all crazy talk! Let's just wait until the "audience" tomorrow. Meanwhile, "Slow Graffiti" is here with me. I don't remember who mentioned it, but I managed listening to some tracks from this artist or band called TIPSY, and it's weirdly nice! Tha usage of brazilian rhythms and chords caught my attention. Whoever mentioned it in the list, please!, send more information about it! I'm dying to understand a little better what's this thing happening in my ears. I finished reading this claustrophobic book called "A Sombra das Vossas Asas" ( The Shadow beneath your Wings), by a brazialian author called Fernanda Young, and I feel a strange taste in my mouth. Each and every carachter on the novel is depressing and instrospective. The "action" is almost everytime interior, so finishing the book is like finding a way out of a dark labirynth. I have to read something really, really! fun and soft now, to compensate. I must confess I felt the temptation to pick a "Harry Potter" kind of stuff, but I concentrated and thought there should be better pre-xmas lectures. Any suggestions?!?! As I wrote this brief message, the summer rain stopped falling and the sun came out. Daniela, as you ever says, I envy these people would like to have at least a snow day round here. But we can't count on it. At least not while the earth axis remain so unfavorable. that's it....

Sinister: Dogs, wheels and disappearing buses
by Mark Sweeney 02 Dec '01

02 Dec '01

Hello All, Just to let people know, I went to Ticketmaster yesterday (social butterfly, me), and was informed that the bus to Belfast has been cancelled. So it looks like the train for me after all, and a night in Belfast. Then again, if we had enough interest, we could organise a minibus ourselves; anybody got experience of that sort of thing, just to have a rough idea of how much it would cost? It may be the only chance for some people who are a bit strapped for cash, especially with it being Xmas and all. Let's get our heads together here, eh?

Sinister: Judy never felt so good except when she was sleeping
by Daniela Varanda 02 Dec '01

02 Dec '01

Hey. I had never had a dream coming true so fast. Yesterday I got home at 7:30'PM and I had nothing to do in the evening. I hate these Saturday nights. My boyfriend had traveled and I had to stay here in order to do a stupid test on Sunday (the test you gotta do in order to enter college. I'm trying to study another course, so I have to do this again). And when I was lying in my bed, I thought to myself "I wish I only woke up tomorrow". And I only realized that at 2 AM, when unfortunately I felt like going to the bathroom and woke up for 10 minutes. Then I fell asleep again. For an insomniac girl, this is almost like watching a B and S concert (let's say ... a "little" less exciting). Now it's 8 AM and I am having some pizza. My junkie days are coming back while my bf says I'm getting "fluffy". Isn't he the "cutest" thing????????? Beto, I need an information: where did you buy the new EP? I wanna find it today here in São Paulo, but i can only afford the brazilian one. I hope you have a great Sunday (I know we are all able to do that). Tonight I'm gonna meet my iugoslavian friends and have some european food and drink a lot of wine and meet my ex boyfriend and pretend I don't love him anymore and get home drunk as hell lying to myself pretending I'm happy. Love and wine, Daniela (wish me luck this afternoon, please!) _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo! GeoCities Tenha seu lugar na Web.

Sinister: ensorcelled by sinister on a clear, cold December first night
by figure2＠fsmail.net 01 Dec '01

01 Dec '01

Ocht.I just feel like it. Stumbling over this threshold into a vacancy I don't suppose I should be filling. But say I get out of the habit? I could end up in a gorilla outfit. Actually, I am hesitating and feel a bit furry around the ankles. Mmm... carry on: it's only letters on a screen. Squeezed out, like juice from a glace cherry: the twitches of intimacies concealed; the gagging of a loudmouth! Or someone with little to say, even if he did buy some CD's the other day, ate sausages and travelled by the public omnibus more than once. paraphrasing, sort of I knew it. I'd get material by reading other posts. I. 'm .scared. of. plagiaBCDEFHIJKLMNOPQRism, and 1) I can't write like girls do 2) I have an oxidationsmittel-set for instant rust, if not trust 3) Jeremy must be English 4) non-sequiturs are the new 1) I can't write like girls do it got me started what the cuckoo clock didn't tell I have a tip that I'm afraid only works in Scotland if you have a radio alarm clock and you get up at 5am weekdays. If you tune the alarm to go off at this hour, on the hour, there's a swirly but rousing jingle on that frequency at that moment which dovetails with charming neatness between somnabulance and bouncing out of bed into the freezing pre-dawn air in a sickeningly determined - if not yet aware of its own cheerfullness- way. I used to have a cuckoo clock, which went off all night. I liked it, but I was young then and got to lie in. It is in a cupboard now, beside a collection of some hundreds of hotel brochures I collected. I sent these wee white cards edged in gold from one of those special marker pens requesting a brochure from the... the life of a delusional small-town snob ... various Grand Hotels of the world, most of whom replied, with a greater or lesser degree of enthusiasm. The Atlanta Hyatt sent me a T-shirt and a whole stack of brochures, the Hotel Richmond in Geneva has one of the nicer brochures, and the Connaught in London has no brochure at all, but sent leaflets outlining the facilities of Claridges and the Berkley instead. Not our Princess, but one of the Windsors, uses their open-air rooftop pool. This information is not in their leaflet but the hotel is in London, after all, where you can't move for the grand and the ghastly. And good, rich people who swim a bit. On a similar ticket, Rolls Royce cars sent me a book. Why am I spouting all this garbage? CUCKOO! CUCKOO! Piss off ye false bird propelled on cheap Swiss clockwork! [a closet door slams with turbulence arising of a simmering satisfaction on the one side and ruffled plastic feathers on the other] have I done my bit in the length/duration department? Questions, questions, always questions, innit? No. mmm I think I have the answer. And so to bed.

Sinister: well...a diary entry a day late is better than none at all.
by lindsey baker 01 Dec '01

01 Dec '01

hello sinister. i am proud to report that on november 30, 2001, one sinister miss mandee may and one sinister miss lindsey lou met. worlds collided, lives were changed. and yes, boys were pulled. we posted in the midst of our frenzy, and had foolishly attached a wee photo of us in a lincoln coffee shop. oops. so, you all didn't get our fantabulous message or photo. but. never fear. i will, at least, post a copy of our post. and some kind of photographs of the event will come to you in some way. of us two, smiling and giggling at the boy who took our picture. and, it is hoped, we can get you the much lauded coffee-shop web cam photo. because we look so damn cute in it. oh, yes, one more thing to add to this revamped post, especially from misslou: mandee is adorable, kids. :) and, she gave me a cigarette. i thought smoking was attractive before. but. now that i might do it from time to time (against the bidding of all my friends), i think it got a whole hell of a lot sexier. ok. here we go again. note: i have edited some parts of the following post so that it makes, ahem, sense. > hey kids. > > misslou and missmandeemay here. > > specifically. in the back. like two birds on a wire, huddled in front of > #sinister. giggling. and drinking. coffee. not booze. :( > > he he. > > mandee is crying for that emoticon, mind. > > but. we are :) to be together! > > so. be jealous that you could not be with us. your lindsey is on the > leftmost side in the back, and dear mandee the right.

Sinister: ease your virus in the sea (PLEASE READ)
by Kenneth P Y Chu 01 Dec '01

01 Dec '01

Please read: This is a public health message for sinister members. I think a few of you (especially those who have posted recently) would have been receiving mysterious e-mail messages from various members of the list. Titled Re: Sinister: whatever your message was. With some kind of attachments like Card.doc.pif or great music.mp3.pif. They are mostly characteristically 40k in size. And the tell tale sign is the ".PIF" extension in the file name, "great music.mp3.pif" may *look* like an mp3 file, but it isn't because the extension is actaully .pif which is a runnable program (and thus, probably a virus, why else would it be disguising itself as an mp3). I think this virus transmits itself by replying to every message you receive with a virus, and therefore something like this list would be very vulnerable as everytime you post someone would send you a virus (it's ok as long as you don't open the attachment) and so please, be careful. If you think you have a virus (e.g. if you've opened something like that recently - for example a supposed mp3 file that did nothing). Write me and I'll find out how to get rid of the virus for you. Or if you're a pretty girl looking for love, write me too. :-) Finally if you're an expert on virus removal please shed some lights as to how to get rid of these e-mail viruses. No puns today, with the seriousness of this virus talk I felt a pun would be ill-humoured. ahem. May all your computers be disease-free.
