Sinister: Stay Loose!
by Neil Robertson 03 Jun '04

03 Jun '04

Not content with offering a day's top entertainment in the Botanics on June 12th, we've decided to keep the party going well into the wee small hours with our own event called "Stay Loose". It's at the Queen Margaret Union, and it starts directly after "School's Out". Entertainment will come in the form of a ceilidh, special guests DJs, maybe some karaoke, maybe some music, and whatever else we think of before then. We've got three floors to fill, so there should be something for everyone. Tickets are £10 with all profits going to Friends of the Earth Scotland. You can buy them online from www.wayahead.com or www.tickets-scotland.com. Alternatively you can buy them in person from the QM box office in Lilybank Gardens or Tickets Scotland in Argyle St, Glasgow. Tickets are of course limited, so you might want to snap them up sharpish. Because after "School's Out", home is the last place you're gonna want to go... See you all there. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: ...time?
by Edda Yrr Einarsdottir 02 Jun '04

02 Jun '04

Hello my dear sinisters and sinisteriens, Its been a while, the winter has passed and to my surprise the summer here again, it always seems to knock on the door a little bit earlier every year. Time has a new meaning in my life these days, actually it feels more like a time interval. Every day is just a routine that is followed. One day after another, some highs & lows, but nothing that kicks you of the curve, in reality this period is just time like any other day, but in my mind it has no meaning, it leaves nothing behind. From nothing to nothing is no time at all. But soon this will change, as Im changing my routine, moving to a different city, different country, and a different world. Ive got two words for you people London baby! Thats where I hope my time will be filled with interests, joy and tragedy, for nothing else can feel more like life. Thats the time that seems long in your memory, thats the time I long for. See you in London, edda _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Yay Iceland, -B -----Original Message----- From: owner-sinister(a)missprint.org [mailto:owner-sinister@missprint.org] On Behalf Of Sam Walton I do have a holiday booked though, which is cause for excitement and a little request: If the Sinister Icelandic Wing has any suggestions of cool places/things to go/do in Reykjavik for 5 days in the middle of August, then do be in touch.

Sinister: The Guide to Successful Acoustic Guitar Playing: Volume 1, Part 1
by Aurora Borealis 01 Jun '04

01 Jun '04

hihihi today i need to write a short on-list thank you note for a whole stack of off-list and some on-list tips as well on how to handle this machine known as the geetar. it seems that between throwing my capo under a bus, molesting tennis balls, replacing my steel strings with titanium ones, buying some thumb extensions racks and generally just being a bit more competent i will have this thing nailed in no time. so thanx! now let's talk about singing... :) My day is devoted to Magnetic Fields since appropriately enough the song 'Acoustic Guitar' is quite possibly one of my favourite songs of all time. And I heard it for the first time on Saturday! enjoy your respective days, wherever u may be. byeeeee ____________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Sinister: the saga of the 358
by Ruth 30 May '04

30 May '04

just one more example of how stupid a person can get... but i had had a stressful day! 9:00 GCSE IT(short course) exam. the questions were something along the lines of "would it be better for the company to use a computer or a box with the word computer written on it? give three reasons for your answer" and i really felt like there hadnt been much point getting up for it. 10:30 finally get let out of IT exam after finishing it in the first half hour (some more stuff which isnt very interesting) 4:45 have to catch a train in the rain for my piano lesson which will arrive and hour early 5:00 the train actually arrives... im soaking wet 5:30 i finally reach my lesson (jazz piano if youre interested. i switched form classical a couple of months ago and its great)... which doesnt start for another half hour... i sit in the shop and drip 6:30 i leave the shop and have to run to get to the train on time 6:40 i get to the station on time but the train doesnt, a scary old man sits down next to me and insists on telling me about his freind who was a ballerina but her choreographer kept telling her she was fat and she stopped eating an the killed herself. i could have walked away from him... but that would have involved standing in the rain. 7:00 the train finally arrives. after getting home i have just enough time to change before going to get the bus. i was supposed to meet my freinds at half seven 7:30 i get to the bus stop to see a bus pulling up. hooray!! a bus! i run for the bus and get on with out checking the number. when i see the sign saying "welcome to darbyshire" i begin to wonder if it was the wrong bus... 7:45 it was definately the wrong bus. im in new mills and theres a large gang of scallies loudly asking the girls behind me if theyre virgins and telling everyone how the country is rubbish and that its better where they live on one of the council estates in manchester. at this point the best thing to do is ride the bus all the way round and back again 8:00 we reach the end of the line. hayfield! and start going back. 8:30 i get back to marple, nearly go home but finally decide that since the place doesnt close till 10 i can at least turn up, see my freinds and apologise for not turning up at half seven. 8:55 the right bus turns up 9:10 i arrive in romily but thanks to my freinds sketchy instructions cant find the place and have to wait half an hour for the bus home... total time on buses - and hour and a quater total time waiting at bus stops - an hour sooo... that was a fun night but i should probably give you a proper update too. ive done 2 of my 14 gcse papers, my art display is up and has been marked but most importantly i have officially left school!!! we when to first lesson the day we left and then straight to the leavers assembly. the two bands our year have managed to form both played (rodine (www.rodine.co.uk) and homeless joe (who are much better than rodine thanks to mikes actual talent but dont have a website)). the dance class did a couple of dances involving as little clothing as possible and some of the guys did a strip (ripping off their boxers to reveal.... another pair of boxers!!) but the actual amusing part was all the teachers attempting to do the chacha slide. next the foam fight... it kicked ass! noone brought hair removal foam instead of shaving foam like they did last year thank god and i ended up with my hair stuck up like a troll doll... and looking a bit like all the non-romantic leads at the end of ghostbusters. my personal mission was to foam everyone who was only watching and not joining in. i got five of them! and then the prom! limo et al. well ok... limo to the school and then coach full of drunken skallies loudly listing everone they know who isnt a virgin the rest of the way. but we did get a wolf whistle when we were waving out of the limo... it was from an eight year old but whos counting? rodine arrived in a 4x4 limo.. someone arrived on a harley davidson (riding pillion) and everyone looked spectacular. the actual prom was like a primary school disco but with big tables. the music was all anoying so called r&b but after half an hour of complaining ashleys campaign to make me enjoy myself succeeded and i was dancing away. i was the first to take off my shoes (very painful 4 inch stillettos) and then everyone else started to take theirs off too. we even got a little break dancing circle going when they played run dmc... a lot of guys trying to do head spins and falling over :) very funny! i discovered the guy i liked is a reeeealy bad dancer but i danced with him anyway and i spent the last dance in a giant line that was like a sideways conga... if that makes any sense to anyone... so thats about it now i get a week off before my exams start properly so i probably wont have anything to say for a while (i can hear that sigh of relief) as long as i dont get the wrong train and end up in scotland! ===== RUTH __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Sinister: Various
by Sam Walton 28 May '04

28 May '04

Hello Sinister. I write with little to say, I'm afraid, although this gem in my inbox from those wonderfully thoughtful people at Amazon.co.uk was too good not to share. It's the personal touch that gets me: > >Dear Customer, > >We've noticed that many customers who've purchased albums by Various are >also interested in >music by Various. For this reason, you might like to >know that the new CD by Various is now available. > And indeed, I was interested to know that nugget of information; I am a big fan of Various after all, having many of their albums, though unfortunately I don't think I will be indulging in their latest offering. There was a York picnic a while back. I don't think anybody reported back as far as I can remember, and it seems that the time for doing so has kinda passed now. As I recall though, it was a fun day attended by the York Sinister Massiv and then more people besides. You missed out, if you didn't come that is. I finish my degree in a week. As in for good. Sam Walton, BSc. 18 years in the British education system for 10,000 words, due by next Friday, midday. I've written most of them already actually, so I should be okay. But then what? Jeeze, I don't know. The Real Life, I suppose, as Freddie M might have said. I do have a holiday booked though, which is cause for excitement and a little request: If the Sinister Icelandic Wing has any suggestions of cool places/things to go/do in Reykjavik for 5 days in the middle of August, then do be in touch. The same request applies to the New York & Surrouding Area Wing too, as I will be visiting that neck of the woods for the three weeks before Iceland. Maybe a picnic even? Okay, well I won't push it. Anyway, that's about it. love Asm.x P.S. Who else is coming to the Somerset House gig on the Sunday?

Sinister: Performance poetry, Ian, Crap Music and THE RAIN!
by Astrid Wiezell 28 May '04

28 May '04

Dear Sinister, I am bored so I am writing you, sorry about neglecting you in other moods. I love you, baby (babies?) you know that. True and forevah. 4-evah!!! Sorry, i am so tired that i most probably will keep writing fake-hip hop slang that really is not funny for anyone but me and Amanda. Today, I am meeting up with the very nice Ian Watson, it shall be very interesting indeed! He is interviewing THE HIVES, yes he is one cool guy. And also my first sinisteree that I meet that is of the sinister london massive. I am worried I will not be cool enough, but if not, he can always flee I guess. Ha ha. Also, today Popaganda starts (yes you read correctly), which is a free three-day-festival at the uni in Stockholm. You have to be 18 to go there. I am 17 and 11 months. My boyfriend will be spending his weekend there. EVERYONE will be spending their weekend there. Never mind me and Amanda, oh no, we'll have FUN ourselves! We'll record songs on the cassette porta and we'll dance in our Justin Hawkins + Caleb Followill masks that we got from NME. WE WILL BE HAVING FUN. I'm just a wee bit bitter, you see, and now the rain is POURING DOWN, and I am gloating. Ha ha ha ha. Take THAT. Oh well, really, I would wish that everyone would have a nice time, or at least boyfriend + friends + other friends in general. But it is quite annoying. Today this performance poetry guy came to our school and had a show/ lecture/ performance. It was pretty damn cool, his name is Bob Hansson and I thought he'd be a "tormented" poet or something but he was pretty fucking cool, it was nice to see something uncontrolled and sort of - well spontaneous - at our school. Yes. The people with the music computer in this computer room are playing - cue drum roll - BACKSTREET BOYS! Ugly shitfaced crap band, ah I hate them so badly! Now, I've had my crap taste in music during the years, like the fact that I was quite the avid,er, Hanson fan (I WAS TEN YEARS OLD, DON'T JUDGE ME!) or stuff like that, but Backstreet Boys... I was the only one who never liked them in my class, along with the boys, and I am still proud about the fact that I never gave up in favour of their beyond crappy music. Hrrrrrr. "There's something missing in my... heeeeeaaaaart" they just sang. Hope they stay that way. I am sorry, I am not usually this evil and aggravated but I am very hungry and I don't want to go out in the rain and er, yes, I don't know, let's blame it on something more . The Josh Ritter gig is coming up, will be pretty damn amazing, I hope. I am on the guestlist + 1 for the Stockholm show (thanks Darius!) and hopefully me and Amanda will get in without any questions, would be really nice since Josh is a very humble and sympathetic man and a real joy to watch perform. Also was told yesterday that my favourite teacher in the whole school - my English teacher - is going on paternity leave all of next year... NO! I have my hopes for some other teachers that I might get now, but you never know. Hmmm. I will keep you posted since I gather you are all extremely intrigued by which person will be my English teacher next fall and spring term. I am so tired. I am so tired. I am so tired. I am so tired. I am so tired. Why? I can't remember. Oh, right, my boyfriend called me at like 2:45 a.m because i told him to call when he got home from his experimental music rehearsal and wanted him to but i was really fucking tired and now i can't seem to shake it off. Hrrrr. My day has been nice though. Organisation and leadership: my nice teacher let us watch the office (we're on the 5th episode by now, that is how many times she has let us watch ricky gervais being v. funny instead of studying business law etc.) and had brought with her chocolate. One of my best friends, Zebine had been making great chocolatey stuff to eat and brought to class, and so I ate about 70% of the content in her tupperware box. Oops. Then I had English where we performed Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller as Reader's Theatre, it went quite well I think. Hmmm. Yes, I think so. I am pleased with the outcome. Then lunch and then some performance poetry. How could I be tired, i've been doing nothing all day! Ok, must rush off and try to socialize, one more Backstreet Boys song and I will became morbide and dangerous and not armed, but then again, you can use many things to kill someone with.

Sinister: initiating initiative
by Aurora Borealis 25 May '04

25 May '04

ok, i've had enough if someone doesn't show me how to play a bar-chord properly in the next month i am going to remove ALL songs containing F's, B's, C# minors and any other variations thereof from my tab collection...certain bands that we like, not Blaming Anyone Special, have a tendency to positively litter their songs with these evil little creatures... i've had a guitar for FAR too long to be still not sounding 3 of the 6 notes every time i step off the safe ground of the CAGED based world...aaargghh. and why does it get so much easier with a capo...my arms are of a regular length, i am fairly sure.... so rants aside... nope i think that may have been about it. i did have an idea but i don't think it is either orginal or worthy of mustering a large effort for but in the interests of my own musical education i wonder... usually, i make blatant use of musical recommendations from sinister mails as a means to expand my personal music collection and i've seldom been disappointed. this got me to thinking that it would probably be worth asking u folks (if you fancy wasting an extra precious few moments at work....yep, i'm definitely a 'work' user) to tag on a small collections of bands or albums that u may profer up to a recently arrived stranger from a music free planet...i'm fairly sure this musical tree is a leafy one and i'm still sitting on one of the lower, albeit darn sturdy and life-supporting, branches. that and how to play bar chords, especially standing up... 24hour sunshine to you all ;o) politics is the new punk, good stuff. will join in shortly, just as soon as we join the EU.... ____________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
