Sinister: it's been a slow education

[Robyn Fadden]

hello sinister,

i lurv the new ep. i like that it's a little bonkers. and that 'i
love my car' has that beatles' mucking about with stuff and laughing
quality to it. it makes me say 'wacky', which is a fun word to say.
and then it makes me sing 'durp durp durp durp durp durp durp durp...
etc.' (which is me sounding like a horn section.) 'i'm waking up to
us' is great too, but for some reason at first i thought stuart was
doing a geddy lee impersonation, but then i really listened and he
wasn't. did a brazilian on this list recently say they loved rush?
wow! i have never even given rush a chance.* 

and a simple 'yes' to 'marx and engels'. riot girl indeed.

yeah, so emoticons used to bother me too. quite a lot. but i realized
that sometimes you just really need to use them. like a semicolon.
overuse/misuse will not, however, be tolerated. and sometimes, to
paraphrase comicshop guy from the simpsons, there is no emoticon for
what i am feeling. 

and yaay! for andrew churchman who recommended destroyer's album
'city of daughters'. destroyer is rad. dan bejar is awesome. and i'm
not just saying that because they're from vancouver :) also good is
the new pornographers. at first you will freak out and be scared, and
think 'why does neko case sound like geddy lee?' and then you will
realize she doesn't and you will love the pop-rocktasticness of it
all.

when Ken Chu said "Earlier I bought a sausage sandwich with extra
butter, that I personally put on, and then I ate it." he reminded me
of hal incandenza from infinite jest. i think it was the
'personally'. i love hal. 

which reminds me, i bought and ate some turkey kolbassa the other day
(i have been vegetarian for a while, but suddenly *needed* meat) and
it was really good. then last night i had a dream that that its place
behind the deli counter was empty - no more sausage! and i was sad. i
thought about turning it into a lucid dream ala 'waking life', but
then realized i wasn't really going to learn much from it. 'waking
life' is really really good.

richard said: 'rhyl, north wales'. and i then started saying 'rhyl'
over and over again because it feels so weird. there is a sign on the
skytrain platforms here, warning of electric shock or something, that
says 'stzo'. it makes me think of polish (czesc ola!). but i don't
think it means anything. but i like to say it a lot. maybe it's the
sound you would make if you touched the electric bits - 'stzo!'
sizzle.

if you are bored and especially if you are singing 'i love my car', i
suggest http://www.screentalk.org/knightrider.htm 
oh, yes. turbo-boost, kit! well, at least check out the photo montage
of classic knight rider scenes - a thing of beauty.

oh oh oh i'm lightning,
robyn

*though rush fans will go on about the genius of geddy lee, that he
is actually and in fact a certified genius in the iq department, and
that you should really *listen* to rush at least once in your life
and realize that sounding like geddy lee isn't a bad thing at all.
erm. again, i have not given rush a chance; it just has not come about.
