Sinisterines, I'm looking in my junk mail folder right now and there's one from HornyWench(a)chu.com . I wonder if it's from Ken. I daren't open it to find out.. There is also, rather fantastically, an email from "Augustus Rosenberg" with the subject line "Do you want the Columbo DVDs?". Yes I do! Oh, if only Augustus was real, *sob*. Stacey said: <<as an aside.. we have a sexy icelandic stud on this list! is anyone else excited about this? mmmm>> I am excited about this! I don't quite know why, though..

Sinister: Take the A Train (to the Cloisters)
by Eric Brasure 26 Aug '05

26 Aug '05

So, a picnic at the Cloisters tomorrow sounds like a fine idea. However, I will leave details of meeting places and such to other people, because I am crap at such things. It is a rather nice place for a picnic, being at the very top of Manhattan and thus affording panoramic views of... New Jersey. Still, it's the nice (relatively) unspoiled part in the north, where all the rich people used to build mansions. Maybe they still do; I don't know. I try not to think about New Jersey too much. As GayJay said, I will endevour to bring Sebastian, the basset hound of exceptional quality and character, but I make no promises. The MTA seems to hate dogs, you see. Yep. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Re: sinister-digest V4 #1262
by Mark Casarotto 26 Aug '05

GayJay wanted me, and what GayJay wants, GayJay gets (and if this isn't true, it damn well should be). In one hour I will be stepping out to eat a vast amount of pork. At London's top "BBQ" restaurant, Bodeans. They do pulled pork that's been cooked for like 10 hours and yet it's still unbvelieveably mosit and tender and delicious. Seriously, this is the highlight of the month for me. Gastronomically, anyway. Homer Simpson: Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Lisa, honey, are saying you're never going to eat any animal again? What about bacon? Lisa Simpson: No. Homer Simpson: Ham? Lisa Simpson: No. Homer Simpson: Pork chops? Lisa Simpson: Dad! Those all come from the same animal! Homer Simpson: [Chuckles] Yeah, right Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal. Fuck I love pig. In case any of you didn't catch it, DUMP AOL. AOL ARE MOTHERFUCKERS AND THEY WANT TO EAT YOUR BABIES AND, POSSIBLY, THE BABIES OF OTHERS. Honey has quite enough on her plate to have to deal with people who thought the pretty blue CD should be stuck in their computer - and believe me, it has worked its way into all kinds of unsavoury nooks and crannies. DUMP AOL! CDs, though. In the crazy olden days, people did exciting things with old CDs. Mobiles! Coasters! Mad! And then FASHION got in the way and made coasters made out of old CDs UNFASHIONABLE, even PASSE if you will. I guess vinyl doesn't have such issues - apart from the odd record that's been amusingly melted and turned into a pen holder or plant pot, old 45s are simply too sexy to be abused in such a way. Though they can of course be hurled at zombies. I wonder how many people will be picknicking this weekend who picknicked in London in May 1998? Katrina? Elisabeth? Susanna? Rob? Erlend? Trousers? Anyone? Love, Mark x ___________________________________________________________ To help you stay safe and secure online, we've developed the all new Yahoo!

Sinister: Matrimony is the new black
by bubba＠ktc.com 26 Aug '05

26 Aug '05

Hello, Sinister. It's great to see the list jumping again! So many names that I recognize from so many years ago. It's nice to know that YOU never unsubscribed, either. It gives me a kind of warm feeling knowing that you're all out there somewhere, lurking in the dark. And so many posts from Honey ... really feels like the good ol' days! Hope everyone has their red undies washed, starched, pressed and ready to celebrate The Big Day! File under "Bandwagon": My guy asked, and I said yes. So it looks as though I'll be skipping down the aisle soon, too. (Unless one of us comes to our senses.) If any of you lovelies have a crush on a boy or girl with a pronounced sweet tooth, I highly recommend a Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie to get their attention. It worked for me! Check out the Sinister Recipe Tree (compiled by the charming Terry Underwear) for this and lots of other yummy recipes. It'll keep you in the kitchen and out of trouble. Take care! -Jeanette +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Together Again... for the First Time
by Jay Eckard 25 Aug '05

25 Aug '05

*waves at everyone Hello, there Sinister! This is the third time -- third time! -- that I've tried to post this. I only hope it goes through this time. I suppose I'm running on a burst if euphoria at seeing such Hot List Action. Oh yeah. Is it unreasonable to wonderful posts like Robin Stout's or even to hope to see posts from other folk, like maybe Markelby C. or even -- gasp! -- Laura Llew? Some people who posted got married. Many, many congrats to them and to them as can. I can't marry, being A Gentleman Who's Not Good at Sport, but I have SHACKED UP. As in "Living In Sin", which is pretty ironic, considering the lives we lead*. But such Shacking Up did lead to an exciting move to the Big City of New York and my Return to School.** I should probably stop using Capital Letters to Express Imoprtance, but it's the sort of thing they do in the sort old plays and books I read a lot these days***. Come to think of it, many you newer people will be just the same age as the students my college had foisted me on as a TA. Cripes, some of you might even BE my students. Wouldn' that be odd? You young one better be nice to your TA just in case he's me. Some people who posted didn't get married. Yay for them. They should all go out and be as promiscuous as possible. But this being Sinister, they may be inclined to stay at home in their bed room. But what with the picnics going around, you can probably go out and fine someone with red underpants to do that with. But you can probably find something more interesting to do than sulking if you're in a bedroom with someone in their underpants. Or so I hear. Speaking of picnics, I have to miss the one at the Cloisters. This makes me very sad as a) I've wanted to go there for ages and b) I'll miss the other Sinisterines. Maybe on your way there or back (more likely back) you can stop in Colombus Circle and visit me! Speaking of visits, I hear Eric Cheeseybun is going to the meet-up. Maybe, if you ask very nicely, he will bring Sebastian,The Hound of (Indie) Rawk with him. They both need a good airing from time to time, and Sebastian is very cute. *waves Bye!

Sinister: insert something witty here
by Guðmundur Jóhannsson 25 Aug '05

25 Aug '05

Hello all! How fun it is to come from a small summer vacation and see my beloved sinister back with a bang. I havent been the activest of member, you can even call me a lurker but I read almost everything that comes in as it´s always fun to read what other people are doing and this is of course better than working :) This summer has been great, having a blast with my friends every weekend and drinking myself senseless and partying until five or six in the morning, which is the Viking Icelandic thing to do really when having a good time. I got a big promotion at work early in the summer so I don´t have to work weekends no more which is a blast so I can watch my Premier League football with a hangover instead of missing the games. After I got single again I have also thrown myself into the musical indie pool and I think I have never listened to so much new music like these last few months and my god there is so much good stuff out there. Iceland, being the lonely island it is in the Atlantic Ocean is normally not getting any good concerts but there are one and one that is fun to see. The promoters here mainly import old acts like Deep Purple, Alice Cooper and Iron Maiden which I have no longing to see as it´s both really expensive and I would rather spend my money on flying cheap to Denmark or the UK to see some good concert instead. The only good concert I have been to this summer was Antony and the Johnsons which were fucking amazing. That voice just sends shivers to do my spine every time and seeing him on stage just heightened the experience more. Fun things that have happened is that early this year I was voted Iceland 4ths most sexiest man, something I am not proud of and I smell foulplay as my company is a big one by Icelandic standards and I think they had something to do with it and because of that the production company of The Icelandic Bachelor have harassed me more than anything because they want me one the show which will happen the same day as hell freezes over... which is never :) Not my thing and not my style :) Hope everybody is well, and good times at your Sinister Picnics around the world. Gummi Ps. Is it not Stuart´s M birthday today? +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: If you're feeling sinister, try posting
by Joan of Dark 25 Aug '05

25 Aug '05

So here we go again How do I start? Where from? Tracing reluctantly a path I havent dared to tread for quite some time. More than 3 years if memory doesnt fail me, after which, here I am. Urged to put letters together, words in a string, somehow construct sentences out of this senselessness and help myself come through. My fingers trying to figure out the steps of this dance on the keyboard. I had burnt the map. I had broken the compass. I thought I remembered the way to posting by heart. Well see that. Its been really three years. Three years since that last suicidal post I wrote to sinister and then went offline and slit my wrists. Ive recovered since then. Even the scars are hardly discernable any more. I received some incredibly supporting emails by people all over the Sinister world. Proving once more the wonder of this list, binding us together. I never was your average poster. Oscillating between severe depression and outbursts of inexplicable euphoria, I used to pester the list with long, pointless to most- stories with no (actual) content whatsoever. Drama queen or just a teenager with issues? Three years of utter silence from my side. Little by little the list got rather quiet too. Disturbingly so, lately I would say. But Sinister was and is a part of my life. A wor(l)d with which I can even vaguely- identify myself with. A word that made me something else, something different, took me out of the crowd in its own unique, secret-code-sort-of-way Like during that Belle and Sebastian show in Athens when I shouted during a pause between songs something about how Sinister was represented that night as well and Stuart (looking rather amazed) asked from the stage Who said that? Me! I shouted back Are you on Sinister? he asked back Yeah! I said, already getting some strange looks by all the other people around me. Where are you from? was the next question Athens!, Thats great! Who would believe it that Sinister would spread so much! (or so) he said as they got ready for the next song. We had the chance to catch up backstage later on so I would explain to him all the magic and wonder of this list. Despite all the silence, I didnt unsubscribe. I belong to the old generation of Sinisterines and this is a very precious title to let go of. I remember times when I would log in 4 times a day just to check my inbox which was full of sinister posts. Do you remember those times too? Times where I didnt dare to go on holidays and leave my email unattended It would overflow with all those emails from all of you. Beautiful times. About picnics, body parts photos, sillustrations, tape trees, Christmas swaps, #sinister, custard biscuits, poetry parrots, list crushes (check appropriate subpage rather outdated but it can get going once more), a temporary obsession over whether the girl in the photo of St. Lucy was a real girl on this list or just a prank, list abusers that we all fought against united (who remembers this creepy gal Isabel Lark and how she personally attacked Honey? her photo is still up in the photo page) etc etc etc. Sinister was also the reason why some of the most wonderful people I have ever met came into my life. First of all: Honey. I still have this hand painted princess portrait of her which never made it to the post office. You still are still hiding somewhere behind my ear, blushing as Im getting nasty with boys. Brier Random: Where is this guy? Last time I heard of him he had girl troubles, he was riding his vespa down the Santa Barbara streets, chilling in Butterfly beach. Stacey Dahling: Words fail me. It was a great time. From the first day to the last. I still owe you some mix cds, I havent forgotten. The tunes never seem good enough though and I always change my mind trying to perfect them Which results to constant postponement. And some recipes as well! Jules Markham: the first post that I ever received from sinister was from this amazing girl. I went and disappeared because of a burnt computer screen. If youre reading this Jules Im so sorry. Ill get back to you soon. I promise. Matt, Johnny, Christiaan, Will, Paul, Ulla and so many more. Were entering a new era here. I think I can almost feel it. Heck this is not your ordinary mailing list. It is a list that HAS TO DO with Belle and Sebastian but is not ABOUT them. B&S are the framework but the list itself is like the music that it stands for: subtle as the wind is gray Its had its ups. Its definite ups, and its inevitable downs. But were not gonna let it go down. Are we? Oh please promise me that well try. Theres such a big part of this big, communal US made out of all those small individual MEs hidden in the perfumed, pink parlours of Princess Honey that my heart sags when I think that one day it might cease to exist. And worse of all, because of our own negligence. To me, if music was a living entity, Sinister would be something like her everyday life. Her friends and penfriends. Her passions. Her long distance lovers. Her broken, but mended heart. Her problems. Her good times. Her -wild- times. Shes never settled. I hope she never will. She knows how to move on when she has to. This Music, this List. Sinister. Enjoy your picnics! Happy Birthday!

Sinister: A century of lurkers
by Ailsa Watson 25 Aug '05

25 Aug '05

Yet another lurker delurking in the midst of all this flurry of activity. I too have never unsubscribed, I too got married in the presence of some old-skool Sinisters. Haven't we all grown? I hope we've done our list-mummy proud. Ooh, a Glasgow picnic. I remember them, running round Kelvingrove Park in the rain, climbing fences in inappropriately short skirts, getting my sandwiches eaten by Rachel Sunnyset's dog and giggling at Mick Cooke, before passing out in the Tap after cheap £5 bottles of wine paid for by quiz machine winnings. I would love to come join the Glasgow massive, but I have a pressing pre-arranged engagement in the pub with my mum. Perhaps Stacey Dahlin or someone could keep me up to date with the inevitable pub details later in the day and I could be tempted along for a small shandy. On a separate note, I am toying with the idea of going to see Belle and Sebastian in Malaga in October. If anyone is up for it, please let me know. And if you know me, and want to come with me, mail me off list as I may (*may*) be able to sort out cheap accommodation for us, if I decide to go. I'm glad Sinister's back like it was. Keep up the good work, folks. It's not been the same without you.
