Sinister: Fancy a picnic? [November 6 - Austin, TX]
by Alyson virdell 16 Oct '04

16 Oct '04

Sinister! It's been almost a year and a half since I've last written to you; I do believe it's past time for my annual post. This time, I'd like to invite you to a picnic. I think it's about time we had one down here in Texas, and since it's not so blazing hot out, why not? So, this time instead of gauging interest and then deciding not to do it (like last year), I will tell you where to go and when to be there, and even if it is just myself and my dashing friend Bruce, so be it! TEXAS SINISTER PICNIC Saturday, November 6, 2004 at 2:00 P.M. Mountain View Park in NW Austin Bring your friends and picnic food! R.S.V.P. to Alyson at kittypower6 at hotmail dot com or 512-659-4640. I can give you directions, if you need them. It's a very nice park, a little hidden so it's not completely crowded on weekends (a la Zilker). I will be making lovely sweet things and cider for everyone. See you then! Love, Alyson _________________________________________________________________ Check out Election 2004 for up-to-date election news, plus voter tools and more! http://special.msn.com/msn/election2004.armx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Just another list of consequences of things that we do
by Mark Hester 16 Oct '04

16 Oct '04

Hello! Do you have a favourite album of the year? I know we should really think about these things in December, but I feel it is highly unlikely that I'll hear any new album between now and the New Year that surpasses Universal Audio by the Delgados. I've no idea exactly when this album came out (other than "sometime this year") but I bought my copy last Saturday and it's rarely been off the stereo since. I was forewarned that this album doesn't have the epic strings that were found on Hate and the Great Eastern and so could be reasonably described as a more conventional album than either of these, but wow does it have tunes! Everybody Come Down and Girls of Valour are amazing songs! I think this is the strongest Delgados album lyrically as well - I wanted to have "Every single person who has told you that you couldn't lives in fear that you'll achieve the things in life they think you shouldn't" as my subject line, but it was too long to fit in the Subject box! Which is a shame, as it's a great line and one I broadly agree with. I'm going to say something vaguely sacriligious now - Keep on Breathing reminds me a bit of Sweet dreams my LA Ex! I'm sure this is just a bizarre coincidence - I doubt if the band intended it as an homage to Ms Stevens. Someone at work who has met the band tells me that they are not keen cyclists as I'd always assumed, having been named after a cyclist and having 2 cycling related album titles. Not that this matters mind, apparently the Beach Boys didn't like surfing, either! I'm going to be in that London for a few days, fom tomorrow (Sunday) until Tuesday. Tomorrow is my birthday (yay!) so I shall prolly be relaxing at my Mum's house and then on Monday I'm going down to Brixton to see Kate St Claire (ex-Lollies)'s new band the Kissing Time, who are playing at the Windmill. So should you. I can really recommend them - ok, so i've only heard mp3s so far, but it's sure to be good. I hear that Simon Aurell is back in town, too, which is excellent news. bye for now, Mark. _________________________________________________________________ Want to block unwanted pop-ups?

Sinister: I don't want to play foosball
by kenneth.chu＠uclh.org 15 Oct '04

15 Oct '04

Hi dere! Whoosh! Look it's October already! Time flies, doesn't it? Even when it isn't May. Writing from my work is always fun, because the view outside never really changes, it's just a courtyard and all you can see are reflecting office windows and a big tall new hospital that's almost completely built. There's a gap of sky through where you can see clouds and the occasional aeroplane flying by. Seeing an climbing plane always fills me with thoughts and I'd always imagine each one of them to be flying to somewhere really far away over oceans and land and a couple of thousand houses, and that half a day later this plane in front of me is going to be the other side of the world. It's kind of exciting but also kind of sad. The view from land to plane is nowhere near as exciting as from plane to land, though. There was this one time I think I was on a plane that was flying above Siberia, and I looked down even from that high up you can see a lot of details on the ground that you try and make out as roads or trains or rivers or a little house. I never really know whether I got it right or not. But I always wish it was actually possible to just get ejected from the plane then and I can parachute down to have a look, and then get picked up by a helicopter when I get bored of it. I think the closest I got to any kind of wilderness was on some roadtrip to Ben Nevis, which isn't really that wilder, and I didn't even climb it. I went to stay in this small town called Drumnadrochit, by Loch Ness. I was doing to trying to find the monster thing, without realising that Loch Ness was bigger than a Hassid's beard. That place was nice though. I told a walk into the woods there, and the locals told me that there were foxes. I didn't see any though. I saw a lot of highland cows instead, I think they tried to attack me. It snowed, and I wrote "Fox in the snow" on the ground. I tried to take a picture but the picture turned up really crap because of bad lights. Frozen fingers all for nothing. ---- That's what I meant, I always derail to different things when I write from work, even though the view is exactly the same. Does anyone know of a band called the Dance Hall Crashers? I searched the archives and it was only mentioned once, right next to the word "Belle and Sebastian", in fact, for a flyer for a club. They have a song called Whisky and Gin.. I have never heard them. They are from California, yet they drink Whisky. Lloyd Cole and the Commotions also once sang about Whiskey and Gin, too. They drink Whiskey. Does anyone know of this band called Lloyd Cole and the Commotions? There are others, too. A band called Pasty White, whose website is titled "Pure Original Rock Music", also have a song called "Whiskey and gin". The lyrics of the song went "I sip my whiskey and I drink my gin I'm never coming down again" So they copied B+S, and also The Verve, and combined it in one song. That itself is an original concept, I suppose. Theirs is "Whiskey" too, with an e, perhaps they sip their whisky and they take their e. I could go on, but last but not least.. There's country singer Catherine Britt, who drinks whiskey and gin to wash her pain away of having to listen to merle in her hit single "Hillbilly Pickin' Rambling Girl". See here for more http://www.catherinebritt.com. Apparently she duetted with Sir Elton John! I'm proud of her, and it's so good to see that the superstardom doesn't mean that she had deserted her country roots.

Sinister: My favourite abbreviations
by robin stout 15 Oct '04

15 Oct '04

As Jarvis once helpfully explained, Cocker is short for "A sucker of cock". Apart from this, my favourite abbreviations are: flu which is short for "influenza" pram, which is short for "perambulator" and soccer, which is short for "association football" I like it when people add all of the abbreviation marks into words that no one else does anymore. Occasionally I'll receive correspondence at Stout Towers in which someone tells me how they 'phoned the 'bus company 'cause it was late, or some such, and I'll get excited about all of the completely unnecessary apostrophes that they've scattered all over. The other day I received a document from the inventor of a television aerial, and whenever he referred to a television he called it a "TeleVision", including quote marks, as if this was some wonderful new word that he'd coined last Tuesday instead of in 1908. This also made me unfeasably happy. I saw someone in our car park here at work the other day who was wearing an "I'm a B&S Bookworm" t-shirt. I imagine he must have been wearing it all day. I stared at him somewhat, mostly in shock, and he looked quite scared like i might murder him. I'm not so sure about "fall", but my favourite season is autumn. It's a treat being able to wear your hat, gloves and long coat while the sky is still clear and blue. People always look so much better dressed in their winter clothes, I think.

Sinister: oh the thoughts...
by Kristin Mitchell 14 Oct '04

14 Oct '04

This may or may not work, so hey. I'm having a bit of a sucky day, and I feel like inflicting my suckiness upon others. However, I can't put my finger on what makes it suck, I think it might be my head, and my memory, and everything I think of. So that sort of makes it difficult to inflict it upon you, you'll just have to have sympathetic suckiness pains for me. Moving on... So Ken Chu survived his trip to Glasgow, and he's still posting regularly, and Matt Henderson and Ally Cooke and Stacey whatsherface all posting as well, and Ben Apps, and Lucy Alder... blimey. And Jay Eckard and David Hewitt, and it's all starting to make my head spin a bit. And even Michael "dance showdown winner" Grant, although if it were 2001, he'd probably be about 10 years old. It feels like 2001 again. Actually, it really does feel like 2001 again. I bumped into an old friend, from pre-anything-related-to-B&S days, at the Winchester, and he's now on my "I'm going to harrass you when I'm bored" list for emailing. We've been catching up a bit, although it's always hard to try and summarise a few years or so into one email. Although goodness knows I do try. So onto worst injuries. Hmm. Getting a broken collar bone was a pain in the neck (arf), particularly because I couldn't do a great deal with myself. I had to be assisted in and out of bed (don't get any ideas, it wasn't interesting) and assisted with washing my hair, and assisted with putting clothes on (I managed to wriggle out of my clothes myself, although it did take 45 minutes to do so, which isn't great when you need toilet). It took me a wee while to develop a knack of doing all these things myself. The thing I think I remember most about it, was that it was my first day in a new job, and they were really impressed with me. They'd already had a few temps come and go, and none of them stayed more than a day, and they hoped I'd return. As for irritating injuries. Well, there was the incident a few months ago, where in the rush to shut my door, I tripped over the bin, and landed on my chin, and ended up with the most incredible bruise afterwards. It took a wee while to calm down. I ended up walking round looking like someone had drawn me a goatee beard on my chin in permanent marker pen. Which isn't great when you've got lots of meetings to attend. "What happened to you?" "I tripped up over my bin". Or the time some bloke from some band called Belle and Sebastian threw a stick of rock into the audience (I think this wins my tweest injury ever) and it bashed me slap on the forehead, which left me with a bruise, which meant it hurt every time I smiled. So I learnt to scowl more. Except when I had my photo taken for graduation, the bruise had subsided, but the pain was still there. My gradutation photo now has me sort of with this fixed smile, the only type I could manage. In terms of inflicted, I think the only pain I've inflicted is - aside from immense boredom - heartbreak. Oh no, hang on. There was the time my brother was racing me, and because he was about to win, I tripped him up, and he walloped his nose on a doorstep. Which meant my parents took him to hospital to see if his nose was broken. There's all these photos of him at his third birthday (yes, I was that cruel) with a black eye which was what he got out of my meaness from tripping him up. He doesn't know about that though, neither do my parents. They don't know it was me. Mind you, he only found out a few years ago, that a toy he thought was mine, was actually his first birthday present. I made him ask my permission before he could play with it. It wasn't that I was an unpleasant child, I just wanted to keep him firmly in his place. And I did incur a few bruises when protecting him in fights. I know, I can't win you over now I've confessed my guilt. But hey, what doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger, and he's rather strong now, so, y'know... it all worked out. It's a shame though, because he was rather a cute wee toddler, with such a happy outlook on life, and he seemed to do everything I told him and looked up to me (perhaps because I was taller). All that has changed though. And with that, my confession, I can die and go to heaven. Can't I?

Sinister: When north-east meets north-west
by Amy Skelton 13 Oct '04

13 Oct '04

Hey Sinister, ME REVERSE CULTURE SHOCK? NO WAY! Well Ive been back on home soil again for a couple of weeks now. I must say that Ive been finding it a bit more difficult settling in again this time. I think its because its now all VERY final. My volunteering stint in Bangladesh is well and truly over (although I am going back to visit the boyfriend for Christmas/New Year - he he)*. Seeing family and friends again is great and is definitely helping me settle back to life in the UK. * Ian. Youre right Im not American but my boyfriend is. Hope that clears any confusion. ANYHWERE TO RENT IN GREATER MANCHESTER? So, I start my full on paid first graduate job on Monday. Im very excited. Accommodation hunting is still underway. The only Sinister picnics I ever made it to were in Manchester so its nice to be moving to an area Im fond of. A plea to Greater Manchester sinisterites know anyone with a room/place to rent? Pref. in Heywood, 2nd pref Bury but will consider Manchester itself. Ive been quite steady in settling back to the UK no kayaking or dragon boating or canoe polo since Ive arrived. I guess theyll be good ways of making new friends. A YEAR OF GIG DEPRIVATION After a year of cold turkey with no full on gigs I did treat myself the other week. My mate David and I went up to Newcastle to watch the return of The Delgados with support from Sons and Daughters*. A first class way to get back into the fray. * Im cheating and saying this is content because of associations with B & S Well Im saying the first gig since I got back because Im discounting being dragged to see the oh so ordinary Ordinary Boys the night before truly boring in my opinion. People are trying to re-educate me with bands that Ive missed over the year. Sadly, they got it wrong that time. Im up for suggestions of bands I should listen to/go and see. LAUGHTER YOGA Does anyone else here remember David Devant and his Spirit Wife (most famed for their You Must Be Ginger song)? I saw them on Sat after a hiatus of ? years. I went along because they always used to put on a good show with ultimate audience participation regardless of what you thought of their music. Like some other punters I was bitterly disappeared because the show had albeit disappeared. Taking growing up too far eh. Childish humour still has its place some of the time laughter yoga and all that. Anyway, as Im on some sort of a money-saving regime I have not been travelling to London for gigs (not leaving the north-east can be restricting in terms of choice). To those of you whove been going to see Le Tigre, Jonathan Richman etc. hope you all had fun. I was very pleased to see an article in The Guardian last week about laughter yoga sessions before work being all the rage in certain regions of India. Ever the advocate of the benefits of a good chuckle I wish they were brought in here. Ah, well. Id better go and enjoy my last couple of days of freedom before 40 years of (mostly) hard grind! Scary when you think of it like that. Take care all, Amy _________________________________________________________________ Want to block unwanted pop-ups?

Sinister: PEDIGREE CHUM WITH GRAVY CHUNK
by robin stout 12 Oct '04

12 Oct '04

Hallo, I have been meaning to write to you, oh dashing Sinister one, for such a long while. You see, while you have been off in the hills, standing in the stirrups and squinting through your pocket telescope, I have been writing a Sinister post. The trouble is that I began writing it so long ago, and have got through so many quills and sealing wax during the course of it, that it's all become completely out of date. I once had a conversation with one of you which went something like: Him: How do you decide which posts to read and which ones not to read? Me: Oh if I see it in my inbox and it's over five kilobytes big then I just delete it. Him: Oh. Mine are always over five kilobytes. Me: I see. Who are you again? But, fearless chums, I am afraid that I have become rather rambling myself of late, presumably due to deterioration of the brane, and am as much likely to commit the shameful sin of writing too much as anyone else. So, I have today decided to be succinct. MY SINISTER WEEK BY ROBIN STOUT 1. The other day I went into the cafe, and ordered some lovely hot chocolate from the australian girl who works there. She was squinting into the sun, which had settled on a rooftop over the street, so I positioned my fat head in front of it, forming a total eclipse of the head, if you like, and shielding her from the hazardous rays. I stood there for quite a while, and as I did so it dawned on me that she was wearing an upside-down badge belonging to a certain Glaswegian band. I thought of saying something like, "Cripes, your badge is upside down! That's rather sinister!", but then I thought better of it. 2. On Sunday, I was in Birmingham the land of the beautiful and free, and who should I run into buying haircare products but our own dear Ian Anscombe! It was quite a turn up for the books, I can tell you. I told him I usually buy the styling cream for straight hair. I presume he bought the one for gay hair instead. 3. On the way to work this morning we passed a Reliant Robin, a green one, which was driven by an old chap. In the window was a humourous sticker which said "My dick isn't the wrong size - I was supposed to have been born a dwarf".

RE: Sinister: Colors Bleed
by Vilkas D'Angelo-Horvath 10 Oct '04

10 Oct '04

Mmmmm Autuuuuuum. The Fall. I love the season because I can wear makeup again. Lipgloss doesn't melt off. Eyeshadow doesn't mix with sweat and run into your eye. Today it was face powder with black glitter liquid eyeliner and tinted nude lip balm. You can wear your nice clothes again. It's the season for making out as eveyone looks fab in their stylee clothes but after all the goal is to get under all that stylee clothing. Mworw. Yeah, the Fall fucking represents. Both the season and the band. Sparta FC anyone? We live on blood indeed. Yeah when i was in high school, make that prep school; we had a Field Day at the end of the year. It was Hell On Earth. The school was divided into two teams, the Athenians and the Spartans. The Spartans won every year as they wore all red. Y'know how red make you excited. Like a field of bulls acting out Lord of the Flies. The Athenians wore all white. I was always the on Athenian team. I think that all those who were crap at sports were made Athenians. I enjoyed sports that were not Dumb As Shit, but I was still crap at them. As I am now too. I played badminton with the MunicipalWaste/VCR crew the other month. It was Fun As Hell. But as I am me, I am crap at actually hitting the birdie. One of my teammates, a crusty punk with big dreads and a studded belt and the patch vest got all pissy cause, in his eyes I was making the team lose. Fucking loser go put your braided belt and pleated khakis back on you fucking jock. In a moment of What The Fuck, I ended up hit the winning stroke. Nyah nyah. One year at Field Day, I think I was 14, with the permisison of one teacher, I wore a white rock T (The Creatures tour T) inside out. The Latin teacher said she didn't care what the english Teacher said, it was not allowed. So what I did as punishment, was scrub desks with scouring bleach poder for the whole fucking day. I am so glad to 30 and not 14. Are you like me? Are you amazed you survived high school? Seems all the folx who are amazed they survived high school are the amazing leaders, artists, musicans, writers and bitches who are generally ruling the joint. So kids, what have you been doing? Me, I've been dancing, arting, working. Working a ridiculous job involving lots and lots of hours doing loads and loads of spreadsheets. And getting paid. I'm not getting PAAAAAID, but getting paid at all is certainly better than not getting paid. And now I've got internet radio in my office. Hurray! I've been DJing more which has been fucking brilliant. Been xperimenting a lot with dub and beat destruction. It's nicer than you think. I have a hindi cover of Dancing Queen by ABBA which i layered 5 times on itself. And no I didn't do this live. I did it at home and jacked in my minidisc to the mixer. The melody and flow stayed but got tangled up together; the beat was oblitereted and the vocals were like a choir singing the same song at the same time in 5 differant languages. Yeeeahhhh. But I fuck up a bit too, sometimes you can call it glitchtronica. :-). The bit I tried with Freda Payne's Band Of Gold with dubbing a clean copy with a fucked copy, did not work due to fucked volume levels and fucked starting times. The goal was undulating dubby soul. D'oh! Now I have the decks at home so I can practice. Gasp! Shock! Practice! Yep. Practice practice practice. I've been showing my art and instigating a zine collective. Does anyone work in a record store or bookstore or club or infoshop etc. where we can send you zines for distro in your flyer or zine area. What we would send would not really be sold. We raise monmey so we can gie away our product. Most of what I do personally is not really sold anyway; I produce them cheap aka free enough to give away...the new issue is about siamese cats, friends, large bottles of malt liquor, orange juice, satan, the devil, the solstice and beltane. We're rvazines on livejournal (I'm on too if you wanna...I'm the same name as this email addy)...we have not updated this in a while...but we're fucking awesome anyway! Modest? Aw helllll no.

hello sinisters. i have to agree with katie, fall is the best time for shows. its my favorite time of year in general though. i love dressing all cozy and sipping cocktails while listening to records or watching a movie. its also a good time of year for makeing out since its chilly and everyone wants to leach some body heat. in two weeks the decemberists are coming here and i am so excited. if you haven't listened to them yet then go out and buy their records. it will be well worth it. the day after that mirah will be here too. yeah!! the arcade fire is on tour right now and im hoping that they will come to st. louis. they are one of my favorite bands right now. i am ordering each one of you to go out and buy their full lenghth album, listen to it all the way through and then i dare you not to tell me that their amazing. that's right, i dare you. and after you here their album, know that live, they are even more mind blowing. ok kittens, time for me to go. if there are any more cool shows that will be coming through the mid west, let me know. i think i'll eat then take a nap. xoxo, leyda _________________________________________________________________ On the road to retirement?

Sinister: Colors Bleed
by Katia913＠aol.com 09 Oct '04

Hello Sinister, my baby. This weekend comes a change, my loves. Its no longer summer. I wasted it away, as usual. Granted, it has not been summer for a few weeks, but it is just beginning to feel that way. Its that my-look-at-the-colors! time or the i-finally-get-to-wear-sweaters! time or the damn-its-no-longer-brisk-its-cold! time.... Ah, autumn is my ultimate favorite season. Its full of things....Like my birthday, cartigans, no more sandals, cordoroy and concerts. I feel like there are better shows in fall than any other season. For instance, I went to see Found's Fifty State Tour and fell in love with Peter from the Magazine. That was the night Davy was on Late Night TV so I got his shy, totally my style mousey brother. Fits well with that I-can't-barely-get-the-guts type of brown bombshell that I am.... for those of you who don't know, check out www.foundmagazine.com ok, good. I also saw the Faint. To be honest, I dont wear enough makeup nor do I dance like a raver enough to even think about liking them, but whenthey played "Psyco Killer" by the Talking Heads, I died and went to heaven!! What shows are you all going to soon? Or have you gone??
