Sinister: narcissism uber alles

[steven kado]

is everything here? ... yes, ok...so i'm ready then...



right...




"Hi there sinister!"

"When i don't post forever i have to go back and read that months worth of
email that i wanted to respond to but where too lazy to do so at the time
etc. and now...

"i was going to harangue Steve Christopher Walken about 'how do _you_ know
that that is _really_ what brian wilson meant? and where do you get off
thinking that the _last_ drug addled completely incoherent napkin with
information on it that bw sent to the record company is even worth
considering?  how are we going through the motions of assigining value to
these jottings and correspondances?'  etc.  but i won't.  he likes the
nation of ulysses.

"can i say something about ribena?  its ok, but it isn't as cool as vimto
because vimto comes from saudi arabia.  its also no patch on peardrax, which
is the most complicated and many faceted artificial flavour ever!  also the
bottle is very appealing and somewhat leaky, meaning that the object which
embodies the peardrax demands your respect and attention.  or everything
gets sticky.

"my mother likes belle and sebastian,
she likes them enough that when i played her FYHC she was able to say 'its
really not as good as the other ones is it?' my dad doesn't like stumu's
voice, which is fine, since he like Charlie Pride and CHARLIE PRIDE ROCKS!

"pf should be glad that inspector forster was only a new shoenberg, if he
was a new webern or even worse carter he'd have been 'totally fucked'.  he
wouldn't happen to be norman forster would he?  i'd be careful, he might
turn you inside out!
pf also mentioned the proust can be a right asshole, which is certainly
true! the way he gets all weird and possesive of albertine in vol 5 is
downright terrifying. i just saw 'celeste' and thought it was pretty awsome!
there is both good and bad in proust.  i often reflect on this when
administering colonic irrigation at the senior's home.  scary old people.  *


"and we were talking about cheese, personally, i was devastated that none of
you mentioned lait-cru morbier on your list of favourite lactose-y products!
what the hell people?  have none of you ever looked beyond the dull
havartis, goudas and cheddars in the cheese shop?  i think jay mentioned
meunster!  which is so awsome and fatty and good!  here is a recepie for a
sandwich of solitude to eat alone when no one will be near you to smell your
breath after (good manners and bad breath get you no where):  take one
bagel, cut it in half and melt some meunster cheese
on to it in the toaster oven.  Next, get that big jar of kimchi out of the
fridge and put a big bleeding red gob of the shit onto one side of the
bagel.  then put the other corresponding side of the bagel on top, the
result is a kimchi muenster bagel sandwich!  it is 1--fricken awsome 2--kind
of smelly  3--very spicy! enjoy!
"jay also stood up for mustard!  mustard is the single greatest thing ever!!
other than tintin we must also love the belgians for putting mustard on
their fries! how awsome is that?!  its the best!  when i run out of food all
that is left in my fridge is saurkraut and mustard, ever!  but i have
several kinds of mustard...with pepper corns, various white wine varieties
etc.   mustard is 'so for real'.

"ian nicholson said "long fin killie' which fulfills my early nineties too
pure quota for the month.  they were odd wern't they that band?

"andrew churchman already covered the whole 'camera obscura are actually
from
san diego' thing, i almost got to see them but they got held up at the
canadian border...as did yaphet kotto and some other band that i was
supposed to see last night. so i went to the 24 hr home depot and looked at
lighting and lumber with this friend of mine who wouldn't stop complaining
because i had made him go on a 40 minute bike ride to an obscure section of
the city and it was cold.  jesus, what a female reproductive organ!  andrew
also went on about the lapse, and how toko used to be in the lapse, and yes
thats true...the problem with the lapse now however is that toko isn't in
the lapse.  when i saw them i was more impressed with the guy's sweater (it
was a nice sweater) than with their music.  it wasn't 'in the bush' by
musique, i can tell you that!

"jeff burke bitch slapped tim kinsella of joan of arc...and i was going to
leap to his defence...but then, really, he's right.  tim kinsella is really
pretentious.  and i like tim kinsella because i'm an over-educated nerd with
problems relating to the world around him, so guilty as charged!  its just
hard for others to perhaps know how good something like joan of arc is when
you haven't spent all afternoon ping-ponging back and forth between jameson
and lyotard and frankly have gotten only so far as hating one more than the
other but still think they're full of shit and just wishing that your
girlfriend would drop by with some korean walnut cakes and you could have a
nap as has been the case all to frequently with me.  somehow, i think
pretentious nerd people making pretentious nerd music is more honest than
those same people pretending that they never went to school and never saw
too many french movies and that they want to ROCK AND ROLLLLLLL!!!!! (making
little black sabbathy hand gesture) GRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! and
pretending that they never stopped liking Iron Maiden and that they are so
violent and such etc... when they are not.  at least Tim is being his
artificial, pretentious self.  not that thats an excuse or anything...just
that i like that ok?

"also, i saw fredrick jameson lecture twice last week and i chickened out of
an excellent plan to pie the old motherfucker.  shit. i was going to yell
'PASTICHE!' as my battle cry when i would have flung the fictional tart at
his blubbery yale-school new criticism face.  it would have been so awsome.

"the belgians are laughing at me.


"i saw andy *angel* blackwell last night...he was at the famous vaseline
party.  i was there too, seeing the hidden cameras.  who are totally rad.
forget kings of convenience they might be popular but they'll never be
interesting, despite big gay joel being a bit of an asshole sometimes he's
in charge of a truly awsome band.  so thats that i suppose.  GO SEE THE
HIDDEN CAMERAS!

"thanks
