Message-ID: <658006E8F0B91C43B7FB157784B191B716A410@STBEVS01.stb.sun.ac.za> hallo there everyone!!! and so this is how the new year starts - a sunny day, a merciful (and somewhat surprising!) lack of champers-hangover, and my new supremes cd to get it off to a poptastic start. i hope you all are doing well, especially those of you who have not been doing so great of late. although all is well with me, reading those posts served to remind me of how much this list has meant to me also in dark times (and good). if i didn't exactly come flooding back with support, know that i do think of you, all, and wish you happier times ahead. so in a way i just want to sentimentalise a little (but just a little, i promise) and say thanks for, for three years now, making my world a little better and brighter everyday. this is for all the people who have made me smile a little every day, or made me see the world a little differently, who reminded me of all the nice there is in the world if we only look or make a little effort, or who helped make me feel a little less alone at crucial times, all the people that i've written to off-list, and who have written back and been ever so nice (i'm so scared of leaving anyone out, but you know who you are), to all the poetry parrots and weakest links and pantomimes, and exchanges (and exchangees!) and picnics and bowling and things (even if i can't get to any of them, it's just good to know they're out there), to marc who gave flesh to the idea, and to all of you lurkers too - it's good to know you're out there too. may you all prosper and be happy, find love and be loved, do something pretty every chance you get (and create them when you don't). if there was another good wish i could think of right now i would wish it on you too, but i'll just leave a blank instead - you each know what you want to put in there: a \ \ \ \ | | | | / / / / sh \ \ \ | | | / / / / oot \ \ | | | / / / / ing s \ \ | | / / / tar to \ \ | / / make \ \| / / it all co \ | / me true! | * . there, i hope it turns out just the way you want! for myself, i hope for a little less death in the next year, yes, that would be nice. that, and a girlfriend... mmh, girlfriend... well, i guess that's about it. tune in next time (i'm not making any promises!) for an account of "what i did in my holidays". until then love and suvvern greetings!

Message-ID: Hello Sinister. Happy new year. It struck me, shortly after midnight, that I never got around to posting my list of favourite records of 2002. I shan't bother now - I feel I've somewhat missed the boat - but I will say that I did like the Lambchop, DJ Shadow and Low records, among others. New year always has a strange air to it, I feel. There's an "enforced fun" element where you have to, regardless of your mood, party. Heck! It's new year's eve! The beginning of a new year! Let's celebrate! I have no real problem with enforced fun, though, as long as its mandatory nature doesn't take away the fun. I was going to have a party at my house, but then that didn't happen, so instead a few of us did went down into the centre of town to watch Big Ben click round from 11:59. I'd never done that before, and it was quite strange; there was so much noise and bustle that you didn't even hear the bells chime. That was perhaps the biggest anti-climax of the lot. It was still an interesting experience though. <> Here's to all those new resolutions, already broken. love Asm.x ================================ "He's strictly a pain in the ass, but he certainly has a good vocabulary" - Holden Caulfield "He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy" - Mandy Cohen _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

SINISTER LONDON BOWLING!!!!!! REPORTING BACK HURRAH picture the scene in your mind (North London, cold) look at all the people (well four of them) and take a note of the setting behind (la la la: Bowling Alley) Listen, watch and wait Hope that a few more people will turn up (phone Lord Ken of Sinister a few times, gossip about Mark and decide he's probably had a better offer) An hour later come to the sad conclusion that this is it Go in anyway and start drinking (3 pints and a coke please) start talking (B&S always a safe one to start with) hurridly book the alley (note, only one needed) get the shoes (mine were new you know) go and bowl. Elle was particularly splendid. Getting strikes one moment (well, two of them) and absolutely nothing with the next few (four i believe) balls. whoever you is that all my words and actions come from, i think you could have made me at least win. James, Sam and Paul played rather well but Elle was too overawed about the concept of being out with three charming young men to take any notice of that. Games came to an end. Have no idea who won. Went to pub. Drank more. Talked music, books, sinister gossip (quite shocking) and drank more. all was going splendly until James realised his bag had been stolen. all too drunk to react very much and just said oh. discussed how wonderful Xmas Xchange had been and how much we all loved Mses Llew and Minx. Wondered if they'd consider organising/licencing the concept to allow a Sinister Valentine Card Xchange. Just think - you send a Valentine Card to a Sinistarian and are (almost) guaranteed a similar card from an unknown 'admirer'. it'll help take the pain out of that otherwise horrendous day. the more cards you send, the more cards you receive. now, i know you can just send cards to yourself, but it's not quite the same. what do you reckon? drank more. talked more. listened to remarkably good music argued about exact location of iraq. drank more. pub closed.said goodbyes. went home. Elle reached the lonely depths of surrey, took taxi as still scared by that rapist even though he's now in prison. had argument with taxi driver who called her 'love'. where is the surrey sinister massive when you need it? is it really just elle and james (during holiday times only). anyone else out there willing to own up to the indignity of living in surrey? it's just a part-time massive otherwise. REPORTING BACK TOTALLY OFF TOPIC AND SIGNING OFF BEFORE SHE RANTS HER LIFE AWAY. elle xxx ps. many thanks to Rhona for being my wonderful secret santa. i've eaten the sweets, have failed to save any money yet and have stuck the photo on the front cover of my diary. xxx __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

The New Year seems to have been a turn for the better so far - lots of lovely new Christmas present CD's to listen to (I see that everyone was telling the truth about Sigur Ros). I also finally got to see Storytelling, which was nice, although I got a little worried when I could quote all of the dialogue on the soundtrack. This year so far I have also been out with a girl (shocking I know) which was most enjoyable, might have to do it a bit more often (I asked to see her and she told me I could). Exams at school are a slight downside to the New Year perhaps, although study leave around them is good, probably time to go back now anyway, I have to do some work sometime I guess (although I'm always willing to listen to any suggestions involving no effort at all). Any suggestions for exciting places to go with members of the opposite sex would also be recieved gladly, especially humourous original ones. I'm sure I'll figure something out anyway. Hows everyone doing on the New Year resolutions so far anyway? I managed to break most of mine straight away. Firstly by still being incredibly shy around aforementioned girl, then by doing very little work for aforementioned exams. Oh well, theres always next year. Better reply to text from aforementioned girl anyway. Probably best to ignore me - I'm just a Storyteller (sorry, got that film on the mind a bit, it really is quite good). sinkingpie __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Right now I could hit their 4x4 range rover with a projectile launched by mine fair hand from my (snow covered) roof. But I won't as it will constitute criminal damage and as my roof isn't flat it will probably constitute a lengthy stay in St Georges A&E. I was going to write a one-line reply as that seems to be the trend these days. But fuck trends. I'm going to actually give some Goddamned content. Or at the very least some padding. It's coming up to my 5 1/2th birthday on Sinister. That's a shedload of emails that have winged their merry way into various email accounts of mine. I can recall about 10 of them. Mostly from the Duke Of Harringay and one from a guy called Iain. But I like having things to read so (almost) all are welcome B&S content (*Shock*): Are they as good as they used to be? Possibly not but neither are (deep breath): manchester united's defence, the Independent, HIGNFY, Eastenders, politics, my handwriting, Julie Burchill, my levels of tolerence for fellow men (and women), the London Underground ETC. And all of the above are still really good (ish). And none of the rest got invited to John Peel's studio for a party. So there. I thought it was great. I heard a great john peel story regarding his daughter once but that can wait for another post. In about a year's time or so. There were some posts about Sigur Ros. Irrelevant, but I blame B&S. If only they toured and recorded constantly like mice on speed we could talk about their 18th album (a live greatest hits a la Lionel Richie's latest natch) rather than other bands. yes, Murdoch is responsible for Tangent Boulevard and Unneccesary Avenue (which is where i found my leslie ash bit). I've used parantheses a lot in this post I realise. I've also decided this year should be the year of the pop revival so out go obscurists like the Pastels and in come: Sugababes (especially Overload and Round Round) E17's Stay Another Day and Fleetwood Mac. p. p.s. if you buy one book this year, buy This Is Uncool. It's a book about the 500 greatest singles since Punk and Disco (1976) and has lovely mini essays on each one wriiten by gary Mullholland who loves his music. There is also beautiful cover art. �17.99 from HMV, Virgin, Borders etc and no, I am not on commission. _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 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 at missprint.org.

Message-ID: Hey, play nicely or I'll pull yer pigtails. ATP is a festival at the delightful seaside resort of Camber Sands near Rye in Sussex. It used to have lots of good bands playing there, but now they're a bit rubbish. It still has a good pub, though, and DDR. A friend of mine keeps trying to persuade me to go, but to be honest I think it might be a waste of money. Which of you lovely people from the warm bosom of Sinister are going? Eh? Leslie Ash's face has gone all horrid. I got a present for Christmas from my sister called Soapy the Cat, which was, unsuprisingly, a bar of soap in the shape of a cat, but rather disturbingly was able to "grow a full coat of hair in a matter of days". Mmm, hairy soap, thanks sis! Well, anyway, the cat soap freak thing was supposed to have a cute little smiley face painted on it, but instead, after I presume several years sitting on a shelf, sobbing because no one wanted to buy a hairy cat, its features had become smudged and deformed, and when I took it out of its box it had lips just like Leslie Ash! * Lordy, it's almost time for bed. Robin xxxxxxxx *usual apologies to Americans, Estonians etc. for this reference. Just imagine someone who's had a lot of bad plastic surgery on their lips so they now look like clowns lips. But don't think of Michael Jackson. I wouldn't like to be held responsible for that. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

Message-ID: dear sinister it seems that i haven't posted since, er, august, which is pretty pants really. i was beginning to wonder if i had sinster-poster's-block. so in an attempt to overcome this i shall jump right back on the metaphorical horse. it's not that i haven't been involved with the list though - i'm on the recipes list (*yay* for terry underwear) and i took part in the present exchange (*double yay* for laura and maddie), but (and i think this is prolly stopping a few people from posting more often) i started a blog in august, and that takes up quite a lot of my creative energy. anyway. at the end of last term, york sinisterines had a pubnic, well it started off as a pubnic at lendal cellars but then we went to el piano (a very nice cafe type place) and drank hot chocolate and there was a guitar that asm could play, so we had a very nice signalong to the surprise and delight of the other customers. there were about 7 people in attendance which isn't bad really, considering how crap and small york is. also since then i have inducted someone else to the cult. hello chris f (and also possibly milena, but i'm not sure if she actually joined). also, over the holidays, me and stuart h went to how does it feel to be loved, which was brilliant, and not just because of the presence of struan. we saw a lot of people we'd met over the summer, and even managed to remember some of them (but i was very drunk for most of the summer y'know, so i'm sorry if i didn't). i spent new years in a club with what promised to be a snow machine. sure enough at midnight, what looked like snow started falling from the ceiling. it was exciting for about 10 minutes when i realised that the "snow" was actually polystyrene balls. which gradually found their way into my shoes, my handbag and my bra.  grrrrrrr. what else? i was asked to review an album by a band called the mountain goats, who i hadn't heard of before.  but it turns out tony doogan produced it, and it's pretty good, i think it might sound like low, but all i've ever heard by them is the christmas song on the jeepster christmas album, so i'm not really sure, i'll prolly play it to my housemate who knows about that sort of thing and see what he says. and finally, if you have any link to york, if you want to, please join the ysm mailing list (address at the bottom here), and then maybe we'll get some posting(!), 'cos at the moment it's a leetle bit quiet. pip pip FB X ps, thanks for the parcel grainne, i especially like the socks. everyone always takes the piss out of me for wearing socks in bed, but my feet get cold. especially in the frozen north. ********************************************************************* http://featherboa.blogspot.com - bandwagonesque http://groups.yahoo.com/group/yorksini - big up to the york sinister massive. innit _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

If you don't know who they are there is some blabbering about them here: http://www.kikiandherb.com/frames/frameset.htm Basically they are a cabaret duo who interpret various songs (quite a lot of, if you will, "indie" ones featured last nite, including creep, boys don't croi and rudolph the rednosed reindeer to the tune of smells like teen spirit...) in their own inimitable fashion I think they've just about finished in london now (they are at the soho theatre on dean street and it's £12.50) but if they visit a town near you (a lot more likely if you live in new york, rather than, for example, york) GO AND SEE THEM!! You might even find them on your filesharing software of choice... In other news, on the way home from k&h I fell over on the ice and hurt my leg and had to hobble into work this morning and it HURTS, owowowowoow. In other other news, one of my new years resolutions is to come and see you people in scotlandland (well Glasgae and Embra to be specific, sorry the rest of scotlandland :)), yes YOU over there at the back whispering to each other. When are exciting things happening? My other resolutions were a bit sad (especially the one about sorting my pension out...) apart from the STARTING UP THE CLUB NITE one, but more on that when we have date/venue etc... Oh gosh I have so much work to do but I really can't be bottomed to do any of it, ho hum.

So, you read about how my Christmas went...i shan't go into that again. i am happy to say that 2003 started of nicely! On NYD I met up with a sinister....he just happened to passing through my neck of the woods so we met up for lunch. As I am sure many of you can relate, though we know we will at least have a fondness of B&S in common, you still never quite know how you will get on with people once you leave the confines of cyberdom. When I met Ken Chu (I have never been so starstruck in my life!) and Dirty Vicar (who really is a vicar indeed :o) I had several emails, or, in the case of DV, several months of emails, to go off of. When I met this boy on NYD I knew nothing. We had corresponded for a week and that was it. As luck would have it, we got on swimmingly. We met for lunch, he then invited me to attend the cinema with he and some friends. After he assured me that none of them would mame or disfigure me, I readily accepted his invitation. We went to the cinema, then on a salad and *fun* game hunt, then watched a DVD.....then some other stuff. It was a lovely evening/morning spent indeed. i hope that all of you had a nice time. You deserve it. No, really, I think you're ace. super ace even. Anyway, I have taken up so much of your valuable time already. I shall away now. The Mighty Mighty Bosstones are on the radio...I really hate the Mighty Mighty Bosstones.....It creeps me out that they have a guy whose soul purpose in the band is to jump. how do you allocate royalties to someone like that? hmm....i wonder... Trying to keep faith in a relaxing 2003... ~stine __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

I knew I should have done this a long time ago, but yeah, I'm lazy. My trusty camera broke which was typical and I had to borrow someone else's until I got my own one for Christmas (yay, etc) so between Christmas and very early January, I was taking photos like a madman, which was good - cause it took my mind off the holiday season a bit. Christmas was in Edinburgh this year due to family stuff and bad planning, so I stopped by Glasgow for National Pop League on my way home, where I met the lovely Ms Idleberry, Paulfox, Mister Ken Chu and other such sinister folks, which was excellent. After all this, it was back to my preparation, for an interview I now knew was on the 7th of January � eek. After recieving a letter from napier in Edinburgh, I was now presented with a whole list of other stuff I would need to take with me as 'support material', ack well, to cut a long story short, I got it done (eventually) and off I went. Edinburgh was nice, deceptively sunny, but lovely. Mister Michael Grant very kindly let me crash at his on the Monday, which was fantastic. Everything went OK I think, and hopefully I'll hear back from them in February *fingers crossed*. It's come to the point that I really don't care where I go to uni; all I want is to get away from this place. But enough about me, how the devil are you?

One of my all time favourite songs about bondage....though, to be perfectly honest, i doubt that i could name another. here i sit, in chicagoish. a funny thing happened this morning. i went to pick up the eldest of my charges from school. it was flurrying here, but upon going a mile down the road, there was full on blizzard action. weird stuff. Emily, the aforementioned charge, said "Christine, the world is disappearing." She said this in reference to the zero visability outside, though i suspect she meant this on a far more existential level. It is now 1:12 pm and we are in the throes of some mad project making expeditions. yesterday we made a duck out of plaster using a mold that looked disturbingly like a scarily girthed condom with a duck at the tip. very disturbing i felt. right now emily is passionately painting said duck. then we are going to make an igloo out of sugar cubes using cake icing as mortar. aren't i crafty? :o) so a funny thing happened to me a few moments ago. i signed onto AIM for the first time in AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGES and i got an IM from Tantar97 or some similar such name. This person began our exchange with asking me "What are you wearing?" to which i replied "Leave me alone!" from there the conversation went on as such Tantar: Do you know who this is? Me: No, and i don't really care to Tantar: You changed your aol address and i haven't been able to find you for ages Me: Well if i changed it and didn't let you know the new screen name, it was most likely because i didn't wish to converse with you in the future Tnatar: It's John! and there it was....John....my ex boyfriend. when i asked how he got my screen name, he told me that he had just randomly searched for my old screen name, Toadie29, and the closest he found was Toadie291...which is, of course, my new one. He took a shot that it would be me....and it was.... he told me that he had read my father's obituary in the chicago tribune and wanted to extend his condolences. he then said that he wished to see me and asked for my phone number. i explaned to him that, while i appreciated the condolences, i just didn't feel that he and i would work as friends....to be honest i didnt really like him as a person much anymore and that this chat via computer would be the last of our exchanges. then i blocked him so he can't contact me again. weird. and what a stupid screen name. though some may say the same for toadie i guess :o) anyway, i must now away....we are listening to the musical styingling of mary-kate and ashley. good times. off to make an igloo.... ~stine __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

(I feel a well of emotion over me just by lumping myself in with this crowd of virtual mad-cappers!) Well, its been long enough, but I feel nows the time to drop the act of the imposter and reveal the real person that is me for the first time since I was let out of the nursery some months ago. It really is down to Feather Boa, in fact, for giving an honourary 'word-up' to me, yes, Chris F. That's me. I am part of the all-pervading York Sinister Massive, but perhaps 'part' is the wrong word. I would certainly like to identify myself with what I would like to call uber-friendly underground beatniks but as yet I have not had the depth of my convictions to stand up in a dull Stats lecture and say "Yes, that's me with 3...6...9....seconds of light in my cd player- So sue me!" I don't know why I havent done this yet, it would certainly brighten up the dullness of the little foreign man's warblings at the front of room A/TB/056. Maybe the reason I have not fully embraced the YSM is the suffocating malaise I feel sometimes in my current university abode. See, in a Patrick Bateman American Psycho kind of way, I feel like screaming at my corridor mates, some of whom make me want to drill nails into my fingertips [at the best of times]. Their most heinous crime is that they play 'Sting's Greatest Hits' forever in the day, which, if not an oxymoron in itself, does in fact make me want to move to New York after I have heard the soporofic chorus of 'Woah-oah I'm an Englishman in New Yo...ZzzzZzzzZzzZz' for the seventy-third time in one rainy Januray afternoon. Added to this is the fear I have of where to live next year, and with whom? It really is a sixty four million dollar question, the question being "Oh God, do I have to embarrass myself again by asking someone if they would maybe consider thinking about thinking about living with someone like me next year?" And please, no more Sting! I would also like to share with you that thanks to sinister I have discovered two musical gems, the first being Interpol - 'PDA' and the second being Mum- (how does one pronounce that, again? Moom?)'We have a map of the piano' I like to think of both as being calming antidotes to the tales of monsieur Sting. Well, on that happy note, farewell sinsiterines, and thanks once again. I believe its now customary to write some pithy signature by someone like...ooh...i dunno....Traci Lords...or not, so I am gonna have my cake and put two down. Hugs and Fishes, Christoph F, le "If you're in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at the enemy, throw one of those small pumpkins. Maybe it'll make everyone think how stupid war is, and while they are thinking, you can throw a real grenade at them."

To those of you that do, I was hoping you could help me with a little bit of info. Less than a week ago, I moved here to Austin, in the part of this country that is so lovingly referred to as 'The United States of Texas'. I know nothing about this place and was hoping some of you that do might be so kind as to help me. A couple of questions/requests: 1) Is there a sinister sublist for the people of this region? When I lived in the midwest we had one and it was a lot of fun. 2) If there is anyone here that is familiar with the finer points of Austin.. such as interesting areas to live, good CD stores, good restaurants... you know, the important stuff, I'd love to hear any advice you may have for me. 3) The one thing I do know about this town is that it has a great music scene... and while I dont NEED someone to attend these shows with me, I certainly wouldn't be opposed... so if anyone has any interest there, email me. I can be emailed at ccobb at ionstorm.com Thanks everyone! And again, sorry for the spam. Off to buy my Interpol ticket! ~Chris~ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Some wise one -- and I don't remember who -- asked the irrepressible Ms Llew to organize a St. Valentines Day's Massacre. Er, Xchange. Well, she's not.

Fortunately, as I have just ended a romance with someone with whom albino dwarves cheat on* and being dead**, I have a bit of an empty plate before me. It is therefore with no small amount of pride I announce my attention to me Mummy for The Great Valentine's Day Exchange. That's right, all interested parties can email me off list -- jayeckard at hotmail.com -- to express interest. Let me know your full name and address, whether you want to be a boy or girl (aren't screen names fun?), whether you want to send to a boy or girl (Or better yet, don't care), and whether you're a cheap bastard who'll only send within your country of residence. AND LET ME KNOW BY 31 JANUARY. THIS GIVES ME ENOUGH TIME TO WORK MY MAGIC AND EMAIL YOU BACK BY THE 2ND FEBRUARY SO WE ALL CAN GET OUR GIFTS ON TIME. AND IF YOU'RE THE ONLY BASTARD FROM YOUR COUNTRY, WELL, I'LL TALK TO YOU SEPERATE. I'll put all the appropriate names in one of my dapper hats***, pull them out and random to make Luv Connexions and commence with Romantical Glee. For telling me all these details, you get a lovely gift from a stranger and a fuzzy warm feeling of Sinister Solidarity.

Like the second cyclist, I have some difficulty in believing that one can have really cute eyebrows. Mind you, until this afternoon I would have had difficulty believing it was possible to buy an Intastella compilation. I found one in hmv tho, and a 2 cd comp to boot! Intastella sound like a very unlucky band, judging by the blurb from Mojo's Lois Wilson, but listening to the first cd, the more misfortune they suffered, the better the music got. "Drifter" was absolutely superb, it was sheer pleasure to be reacquainted with it...it's just a pity it was overshadowed on the same EP by "Can You Fly Like You Mean It (Gungadin)" with vocals by that Shaun Ryder. Dunno 'bout you, but I never rated him at all post-Mondays. I never liked Black Grape for example. Stella Grundy. Overshadowed by a Monday. Fortunately only one one track. Where's Stella Grundy Now? According to Lois, she has released a solo single called "Now and then I get high". Well don't we all. I've prolly left it too late to say Happy New Year, or even Happy Epiphany, but it's here that my landlord's Slovakian calendar helps us out coz it shows how it's a saint's day *every day*.

Well, I was there two years ago, so things might've changed a bit, but I went to a great little venue called the Horseshoe and saw the super furries, an enormous warehouse of a venue called, erm, the warehouse where I saw Stereolab supporting Sonic Youth and went to a couple of clubs, one of which was called El Morcambo, played a lot of Northern soul, a bit of St Etienne and was peopled by characters dressed up like Gary Numan, Steve Strange and Suggs. There's never enough hours in the day to listen to all the bands I'd like to hear, but if anyone can tell me anything about Interpol, Serial P.O.P., Dudley Corporation or Of Montreal then I'd love to hear from you. I might be going to see Of Montreal at the end of the month actually. At the end of the week, the latest local lads to be bigged up by Nightshift, Elizabeth, are playing at the newly-refurbished Wheatsheaf so I will almost certainly pop along.

Greetings, I am happy to be here with you. It seems that i may have FINALLY found a school which A) I will be happy attending B) Has a programme specifically for audio engineering and production and; C) I may actually be able to afford! Well, that is with the hope that the family that I work for continues to pay my tuition and such, as they have so generously done in the past. Amazing. I am just so happy right now. Also, on Sunday night at my local Amnesty International meeting, I was elected to be the new media person. Well, I suppose that eludes to the notion that there was indeed, an old media person. The truth is that, apparently, this sort of person was much needed. And these people, whom I have only met 2 times, one of them but once, think that I can handle this! They know of my music promoting experience and think that I will do a good job of getting the word out on our lil chapter, writing press releases, keeping in touch with the newspapers, etc. Ah yes, Christine A Infanger, Amnesty International paparazzi. Perhaps I can stalk celebrity types doing good deeds toward humanity. THE 3 AM GIRLS CATCH FERGIE WRITING LETTERS TO POLITICAL PRISONERS!!! SHOCKING PHOTOS!! MADONNA VOWS THAT, IN AN EFFORT TO BRING PEACE TO THE WORLD, SHE WILL NEVER SING AGAIN!!! J. LO GIVES PITY BLOW JOBS TO PRISONERS IN TIBET....THEN BUYS THEM MEDICATION TO TREAT THE DISEASES THAT SHE GAVE THEM hey, it could happen. :o) perhaps i have found my calling. :o) Oh yeah, a couple of sinisters emailed me off list asking my AIM id....I, stupdily, deleted your emails without having replied to you. to those who find it of interest.. they are... Toadie291 OR IWishIHadARivers imagine, joni mitchell and weezer references in one screen name! i was so proud when i thought that up. anyway, there ya have it. i would tell you my ICQ#, but frankly, I have no idea what it is. Nor am I ever really on ICQ. So that about wraps up this episode of the Cosby Show...oh wait, wong email. Right then.

Message-ID: <005201c2bc3a$595a2440$a5992dc8@hmgvlopez> 2002 was, to me, some kind of living hell. Argentina fall into a big economic and social depression, very similar to the one we lived on 89 (i was only 4, but somehow i still remember). The half of the country was cosidered under de line of poorty. You can see people, at the street, wondering thru trash, trying to find something to eat. And it's a lot of people. Lots of kids dying because of nutrition problems and the feeling that you can't do anything to stop it. On the other hand, there's the goverment. Do you remember the talking head's son "don't worry about the goverment"?. Well, we can't. 20 of December 2001, really early in the morning, masses of people got together and asked for food at the doors of big (foreing) super market chains. They refused to give. People got nervous. Things got violent. De la Rua, president at the time, who actually never did nothing, saw a problem on those "violent thieves". Somehow, he thougt it was a good idea to give fully power to the police. It was illegal to have reuniones after 8 pm. People thought it wasn't such a great idea. Somehow, people got together, infront doors of goverment ofice, shouting and demanding that they leave, all of them. After some violent crushing between policeman and poeple (wich included gun shooting from the police and and all kind of abuse), the president leaved. We all thoght that was a good thing. It was a sign. We had the power. Things will change. Well, things didn't. Somehow, a narco man that had some past on plitics got to be president (a non-elected one, of course). Just for a while, untill elections. It's been over a year now, and there were no elections, more and more people dyes just because they don't have anything to eat, and nothing have changed... On a personal level, 2002 sucked too. At school, i found my self on a room fulled of "pears" that i really don't like. I grounded myself, more and more, into this guy with no social skills. I dislike people, they dislike me. And i know that's pure social inhibition, but somehow, i can't get out of my weird books and my belle and sebastian records. I kept on being the "weird guy". I kept on making the same stupid things to push people away from me... So, this year, i came to a conclution. 2003 won't suck. I keep on repeating that, once and again. I know it's stupid to think that this year will be better than the other just because i say so. But i have to belive it. I have to let my self to it. To belive... Anyway, i don't know why i'm writing this, i just needed it, so sorry for all of this off-topic that no one cares about... Positive hugs to all of you, Silly Fran PS: Some people replyed to my first message, and i replyed to them, but i'm not so sure that those mails got sended correctly, and they are losted... sorry... PPS: I promess the next message i'll post will be a good-happy-positive one... And it will talk, actually, about belle and sebastian... +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: The original subject line for this post was, "SPECS APPEAL OR girls who wear glasses are desirable lasses. Really, we are. May I have my chocolate covered boy now, please?" However, that stupid butterfly boy over at MSN doesn't understand my need for long subject lines but is into truncation of my usually unbearably long sentences. Ohhh, it's a good thing Marcel Proust is dead or he would be UP IN ARMS! Well, maybe laying down in his bed in arms. Whatever it was, there would be arms - and since it's Proust - probably whips too. Onward and upward folks. Jay went for the juglar with, "She's a busy girl, of course, with her store and extravagant social life and whirlwind romance afoot." It must have been quite the whirlwind romance indeed and happened so fast that I wasn't even cognizant of its existence. Last time I recall liking a boy, it took me three years to manage to speak to him without turning foot and running. So, this romance - details please. Were they cute? Were they foreign? Was that the reason I liked them - because I couldn't understand what they were saying (mighty attractive quality you must admit)? Did I follow them around hopelessly while furtively looking through the language dictionary book trying to stutter out phrases such as, "I love the way you lisp when you try to say my name" and "You are you paying for this, aren't you?" Or is the reason I don't remember something to do with Markelby C-my-assarotto's statement of, "when I eventually get Laura Llew into my boudoir I shall render her stupefied"? Was my original reaction to this statement true in that I would already have to be stupefied in order for me to end up there in the first place? Did someone slip me a roofie? Well, I suppose this post is going to be all about setting the record straight. I've always considered my only charm to be my consistency in being single. Of course, this might be because I think relationships are for SUCKAHS.. which leads me to my second clarification of the evening which is that I was indeed going to do the Valentine's Day Exchange. However, I was just waiting for January 17th which is the anniversary of when my best friend got really drunk and confessed his love to me so I spent the rest of the night resisting the urge to poke him out of his alcohol induced unconsciousness to ask him if when he said he loved me if it was "I love you like I would a matronly dumpling of a convent nun" or if it was a "I'm IN love with you and would like to eventually snog the life out of you but if you prefer we can wait until my breath doesn't smell like wet dog. Now if you'll excuse me I'll pass out in a lovely puddle of my own drool." However, I never got the courage to clarify. If Christmas is all about getting drunk and insulting your blood relations, then Valentines Day is all about being muddled by a crush and consuming two pounds of chocolate in hopes you'll forget about it or at least slip into a chocolate induced coma. My point, which is as dull as I am, is that far be it from me to deter GayJay from meeting his -until now- unrequited desires to pack on the adipose tissue, drop most of his clothes, and wield sharp weapons in hopes of matching Sinisterines so the best luck to him in the Valentines Day Exchange and to everyone who participates in hopes that it will result in disco balls, strobe lighting effects, and getting it awn. I mean, I love you all - even those of you who I feel like are my slightly slow, raised-by-monkeys, 4 year old brothers. In other news, for the first time ever I had a very sinister New Year. Not in the tight leather, shooting up heroin and getting slipped roofies (or so I THOUGHT) way but in the cozy new york scenester set as I drove up there with GayJay to be with the best hostess in the world Miss Laurel, Sir Matthew (the first person to ever write back to something I posted to Sinister), the most clever Hobnob Brian, Will Porter (who, thankfully, is as fantastic and as foxy as I've spent the past three years declaring that he was), and then later the infamous and swoonfully cute BILWWNLM. I wish there was someone subpar in the group so I could make thinly veiled insulting comments about them so I didn't seem like such a sycophant but the truth is I loved and am quite smitten with them all. Sick, isn't it? They even took me to the Algonquin where too expensive cocktails were drunk, insults were sniped, and eyes made at some skinny Russian boy with a big head and bad hair because evidently other people like skinny boys with bad hair. These are the type of people who get involved in relationships. See why I think they're for suckahs? xo, Ll 'meeting all your Laura Llew needs since 1977' ps - In this post I quoted Miss Maddie Minx and Sir Brian In The Orange Toboggan. They're the really clever statements. The drivel is mine. pps - Apologies to those who requested a Christmas post from me but I was really quite ill. Not that you should feel guilty for being an uncaring and selfish bastard in not rushing over here with tea, soup, and offers to plump my pillows (not a euphemism, not a euphemism) because I understand how it is. Really, I do. ppps - I LOVE HONEY. _________________________________________________________________ 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 at missprint.org.

I will try not to make a habit of this. That is actually from my personal favourite MK&A song, "Fashion Jr. High" I find this song surprisingly tolerable. As sick of those twins as I am, I would gladly take them over Barney the dinosaur. I used to think that Barney was Joe McCarthy reincarnated. I have since reevalutated my stance on this and determined thusly that he is much more of a Joseph Stalin type. I mean really, with that communistic grin and all of those songs about "sharing" who does he think he is fooling. bastard. So in my post yesterday I neglected to mention the thing that was the whole point of my posting in the first place. I enter radio station contests all of the time. you know the kind I mean. You can win movie passes, tickets to gigs, collector cd's and so on. Having entered prolly 93888373 of these contests in my day, guess what I won on Monday? I won VIP enterence for myself and as many friends as I wish to bring to the Hogs N" Honey's Kid Rock Birthday Bash. Unbefuckingleivable. Now granted, this is not a contest that I entered on my own. For this particular radio station, if you register to be a "member" of their site, you are entered into any contest therin posted. So this Friday I can go to a big ol' Harley bar in Chicago and celebrate the king of white trash. I don't think that mr. rock himself will be there...thank god. Not that I am actually going to go mind you....though, once i was told that my prize included free rides on the mechanical bull all night, i may have to reconsider my stance on this. :o) My friends and I can also have all of the draught miller we want all night for free....this is most tempting considering that I only drink water and fruit juice. how insane. anyway, i hope that all of you are doing well. I know that I owe at least....5 of you emails...I'm working on it...baby steps. I feel it only appropriate to close with another MK&A ditty.... I'm ice cream crazy No ifs and buts or may-ay-ay-bes ice cream crazy cuz i'm an ice cream ice cream bay-ay-ay-ay-beeee love, the biker bitch... ~stine __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

I am leaving you. i bear no grudge or ill will against most if not all of you , that is to say i won't do an isabelark or what ever . I just feel it is time for me to move on. Sinister has been a pretty big part of my life for the last 4 years but i think i should go off for a while. The list has grown rather stagnant of late with the posts not being as stimulating and simulating as they used to be, perhaps it is my own doing that i have allowed myself to lose interest in the list but i find it rather hard to get excited about bowling meets in england that i can never go to , clubs nights i crave to but can't go to simply cos i live on the wrong island. sinister has raised my expectations of people but it has also made me feel very isolated. i think i have to get real, now. never before or never again shall i come across 1400 interesting people that all have a different perspective than i but also one that agrees mostly with me , well it used to be the case anyway. I realised that it isn't real. no matter what is said i still have to go on my day to day life with people that aren't like me in manner that perhaps isn't me but unfortunatly that is real life and i can't bloack myself away from it no matter how hard i try - perhaps i am not making myself clear as i would want to. Basically i want to move on with my life-. also i suppose i have never really felt the urge to meet up with anyone whatsoever and no need to open my heart on here i sort of feel like an outsider anyway. i leave you with the words of a 13th century song "guadeamus igitur , iuvenes dum sumus" indeed let us be happy while the we are young godspeed jonathan +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

This post is in three parts. 1. Content I, well we, got a new soundcard for our PC yesterday, and I was finally able to listen to the Peel session that was recorded way back in August or whenever it was. I wonder how many of the tracks (or the ones from the previous session) we�re gonna see on the next record? My humble opinion is that (My Girl�s Got) Miraculous Technique, Nothing in the Silence, Roy Walker and You don�t send Me cut the mustard, the rest I�m not sure about. Listening to some new(ish) B&S was comforting, and prompted me to finally post again. The tangent that my life has shot off at in the last 12 months is quite startling, even to me. And it�s all down to Sinister innit! 2. A Personal Announcement So me and the girl formerly known as fruitloop* got hitched, (to save this kid from being deported), but it�s OK, we�re in love. I won�t bore the 1250 of you who�ve never met or spoken to me with the details, but if you�re interested there�s some links at the bottom of the page. I will just thank everyone who signed our sinister card. It�s very special to us, and we were thrilled that Jim �Purple Trousers� Taylor and Andreea �Tulpje� Carnu of this parish could be there with us. 3. A Public Announcement A while ago I told you a tale about a curious old gentleman I had run into: http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/200211/msg00062.html Well I saw him again the other day and his Jumble Sale isn�t doing so well. It all started successfully enough. A lovely warm scarf hand knitted by Archel Playforth found a new home, and things were looking rosy. But then business fell away rapidly. Maybe everyone was pre-occupied with Christmas, or maybe no one cares about a poor old retired shopkeeper just trying to make the world a better place. Ahem, sorry�anyway, he told me he�s going to give it one last shot, so if you�ve any unwanted Christmas presents or other junk hanging around that you�ve no longer got a use for, but could make a nice treat for some other listee pop along to the village hall via the link at the bottom of the page. He wanted me to stress that he doesn�t make any money from the sale, and neither will you if you submit stuff. It�s all just �for the joy of giving�.

I've heard this before, but never really thought about it. If one were to take "____ as fuck" to mean the maximum, then it brings to mind some sort of limit, like the Limit of Twee as x -> infinity, or something, like a twee asymptote. That's a little too mathy for me though, so I guess a better analogy would be along the lines of a white dwarf star of tweeness (although it's hard for me to imagine what that would mean- densely precious, I guess). The only other interpretation I could think of would be "twee as fuck" means like "twee as sex". But unless your lovemaking regularly involves elements from the Hello Kitty catalogue, I don't think that's very accurate. And second- If the Belle and Sebastian albums were convenience store workers*: Tigermilk- Younger, has some kind of birthmark on her right ear. Engages in inscrutable gum-chewing rituals. Seems to like the Go-Go's. Wears a trucker hat with no pretense at irony. The perfume of loneliness wafts about her. Has long magenta-colored fingernails featuring depictions of black palm trees. Wants to become a waitress and move to Boca Raton. Unabashedly flirts with the regulars. If You're Feeling Sinister- Totally does not belong there. Has the kind of unplaceable sexuality you see in certain tall girls. Irretrievably awkward around customers. Refers to her boyfriend as "my old man". Earnestly believes in the healing power of aromatherapy. Will tell the story of how she got her parrot tattoo at the drop of a hat. Told you once that she liked your mustache. The Boy with the Arab Strap- The manager, a short and slightly overweight man. Looks like former military. Nickname is "Chas", first name is Joshua. Wears his nametag slightly askew. One time accused you of looking at the New York Times for too long without buying it, and slapped it out of your hands. Has impeccably styled hair that smells like Old Spice. Needs to get out of this town, but likes the local high school football team. Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like a Peasant- Elderly woman who, if anyone asked, would relate the story of how she seduced a Rockefeller into a backseat sex-fest, eloped with him, and then ended up as a first grade teacher in Illinois after the marriage was annulled by force and money. But no one does ask, since she has breath that could kill a bear. Smells like cat food. Has an unhealthy paranoia about the Pakistani who delivers the Evian. *(a la Jeff Johnson from McSweeney's) Anyway. With regards to Zadie Smith's book, I thought it was excellently written, and just as funny as White Teeth. The main character did bring up one thing that I thought was interesting- he spends some of his time dividing things in the world into that which is 'Jewish' and that which is 'Goyish'. And that made me think that, if one were to apply the same kind of process to B&S songs, which ones would be "Belle-ish" and which ones would be "Sebastian-ish"? I suppose the easy way out would be to divide the entire catalogue along gender-of-singer lines, or possibly along subject matter lines, but I don't think that works very well. So. Hope you're all doing well, Kevin p.s. the subject line refers to the great song by Set Fire to Flames, a Montreal based GY!BE-inbred Alien8 project. I predict that the Constellation-Alien8 axis of post-rock will continue to dominate the pop charts with their very pretty packaging and fantastic output. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

However, after a recent trip to Japan I brought back various bits of Hello kitty merchandise (pasta, tissues, bags of sugar etc) to impress my friends (oh how shallow I really am). Everyone seemed pleased apart from one girl who told me that she had gone right off Hello Kitty after spotting an official Hello Kitty vibrator in a shop in Brighton. I guess some people really are just twee-er than others! In other news, my mum was driving me back to uni yesterday and she put a cd on that a collegue had made for her. She was telling me her thoughts about various songs (The Jam are "too shouty" apparently) when boy with the arab strap came on. I was expecting a tirade of abuse, so imagine my surprise when she asked if they had any albums she could buy! Which would you recommend as a first b+s album? I got sinister first but then for me nothing else has ever bettered it, so I'm always slightly disappointed. But if I advised on one of the inferior* albums and she didn't think it was up to scratch, she might just give up on the whole thing. Quel dilemma!

The first B&S songs I knowingly heard (because I must have heard others before, but hadn't known who they were by, or really listened very hard) were probably Women's Realm and The Model, which I fell in love with and I've rated Fold Your Hands Child above all the others, and above every cd I own, ever since. I expect very few of you agree. I feel very comfortable with that album, its like comfort food, cept its a comfort cd, put it on when feeling lonely and be able to snuggle up with the songs, you feel at home and relaxed. Something that feels very familiar. Fold Your Hands Child is my comfort cd. I probably have others too but can't think of any. My boyfriend has just said his comfort cds are anything by Lambchop and 'Parsley Sage Rosemary and Thyme', Simon and Garfunkel. I don't agree with him. They would be my torture cds, anti-comfort. The main reason for my post is - I'm traveling up to Montreal in a few weeks for about 5 days and I wondered if any helpful people could give me advice on where to go. Cool bars and stuff like that.

I only wish that next time I'm involved it be embellished a little more. Perhaps with me having eyes which are a "beautiful cornflower blue that speak of Sunday picnics in simpler times" or putting me in a pair of "smart Manolo Blahniks" along with that sun-drenched, wind-swept Ingrid Bergman kiss of mine. I shall leave it up to him though as I have complete faith in any boy who can turn a rain sodden New Year's Day meetup and the most innocent of pecks on the cheek into something so torrid, turgid, and tawdry. What else do you expect from a theater boy? Well, besides good coffee as that is what they spend most of their time making. I now feel as if I should tell a little story of my own which I shall not entitle the albino dwarf and the princess. A couple of months ago I met this boy. Now, don't worry he's not a *boy* so no need to worry that your eyes will start to glaze over as I weave a story about some dashing and charming young fool. In fact, when I described what he looked like to the aforementioned Jay I got the response of, "Sounds like ... you'll be talking about Lord of the Rings a lot." Hee! Now, I've talked with plenty the cute boy about Lord of the Rings but to have a description that lends that response. Well, just rest assured that no swooning on my part was taking place. Actually, to be honest I shouldn't even classify him as a boy as he is another breed entirely - a bartender. Aren't bartenders great? I mean I always end up falling for waitresses because I'm a sucker for anyone who brings me food so imagine my eternal love when it's booze which is being served. I have a special affinity for a certain cute bartender named Gordon in Chapel Hill. He tells funny stories like how he was being really really nice to Sleaze Boy Version 1.0 because he thought had MS. Then he just realized he was just really really drunk. Oh Gordon, I love you. Anyway, back to my little hobgoblin. So, I met him a few months ago and he has started making me these mix cds - usually one a week. This naturally leads to discussions about music to which I name some bands that he should listen to, including our fair Belle and Sebastian. After such recommendation, he returns to me ECSTATIC with GLEE about how wonderful the group is. I was very happy and proud to have won a new convert. UNTIL, he gives me my latest mix in which he has put his favorite B&S song on. Do you know what it was? BEYOND THE SUNRISE To my credit I didn't spit in his face but talk about deep sorrow flowing from one's brow.

I composed it in my head while I was washing dishes this evening. I will unload my soul, however there IS B&S content so the people who write periodically saying that they're sick of people unloading their souls in lieu of actual B&S content can't complain. When I first heard Fold Your Hands... I wasn't really sure what to think of it. It definitely took some time to grow on me. Not to say that it's inferior to the other B&S releases, it's just it was really the first thing to come out after I got into them...well...maybe Legal Man was first, but that's not the point. Anyway, I was used to Sinister and Boy With the Arab Strap and such and for me, FYHCYWLAP was very different stuff, although in retrospect, I don't think it's such a huge departure from the older LPs. Before I go on a long rant, meaningful only to me, I'd like to say that the main reason why I adore Belle and Sebastian so much is because I can relate to them so well. I think I'll always be able to. I could relate to them in 6th grade, and I can relate to them now in 9th grade. Three years doesn't seem like such a big difference, but believe me - 11 year olds and 14 year olds are lightyears apart. Anyway... Of all the songs on FYHCYWLAP, I really love The Model, Women's Realm, and There's too Much Love. The first two Joanne mentioned and the last one I've added myself. I supposed I like them because I see myself in them so much - especially in Women's Realm and There's too Much Love. Especially in There's too Much Love. Heck, Stuart may as well have been writing about me. I've got another face, and frankly, I don't see it as a fault, either. Furthermore, I've always been viewed by the people around me as "faultless to a tee" (my entire math class thinks I'm some sort of child prodigy when, really, all I do is stay awake) and frankly, I hate it. Half of the time I wish they'd figure out that underneath I am the same as them and half the time I'm scared to death they will. I can't win. I can also completely relate to the tragic wistfulness in Women's Realm. That's just what I personally get out of the song - I may be way off as to what it's really trying to convey seeing as I have no idea what it is. But for me, it talks about sort of wishing you were elsewhere, but at the same time glad you're right where you are. Yeah, that's me, too. Finally, The Model. Every time I hear him singing, "And with this chance I've missed/I feel remiss/It's weeks and months before I'll see you again" I always think of the last day of 8th grade. I knew it would be weeks and months before I saw some of my wonderful, wonderful friends again. There's so much I wish I had said and done that I didn't get around to doing. For example, I wish I had said to the idiot I unfortunately spent most of the year ogling at, "You know, I used to like you. But then you opened your mouth and it ended." On second thought, maybe I'm glad I didn't say that. But still, there were several people I wish I had been nicer (and meaner) to throughout the year. I had sort of hoped that I'd get the nerve to tell some people what I really thought of them, but I didn't. I guess that'll teach me to procrastinate. Before you think I've completely lost of the vein of Joanne's post, I'd just like to say that my comfort C.D. is 3.. 6.. 9.. Seconds of Light. All I have to do is hear the opening lines of Century of Fakers and I'm happy. Although, if we're talking LPs, then it's definitely If Your Feeling Sinister. If Stars of Track and Field and Seeing Other People doesn't make me feel better, I can always count on the intro to Me and the Major to make me smile. In fact, some mornings I set my alarm to play that song when I wake up I always open my eyes surprised to find that I'm smiling. Well my self-indulgent post has ended.

You and rogue clowns stole my boyfriend. Message-ID: Wait a minute, am I engaged to Reggie Whitecastle? This week, so far, I have been mostly avoiding the police and, subsequently, creating an air of mysteriousness and wonder about me as my workmates look at me quizzically when I dash off to hide in the toilet upon hearing, "Marianna! The police are on their way down, they'd like to talk to you." But still, it makes for an amusing topic of conversation when you need to interview for your own job, or when you can't think of anything else of interest to write in a letter to your grandparents. Can't wait for /that/ reply. And so, armed with such skilled avoidance tactics, I decided to firmly don my anti-social cap and began to decline, not just requests from the UKPD, but /all/ invites that involved, you know, going out and actually talking to people. Conversing is /so/ over, y'all. I also requested that colleagues send any work requests my way via email, regardless as to how proximate they were to my desk (and the fact they'd need to use my computer to send an e-mail did not escape me - THUS I CUT MY WORKLOAD IN HALF) and dedicated the rest of my working time to making assorted Emily Strange paraphernalia, claiming it was part of the therapeutic process for a 'mizundastood' teen on the adolescent unit. Mua ha ha. So, I did this and I avoided people and I sewed and I baked and I - by god - decoupaged and I went on adventures through the city streets where the number of homeless men offering me their hearts and claiming I'd be the kind of girl they could sober up for rose to sixteen. And it was then that I realised that I was wrong when I used to claim I hated 95% of the population. They're actually pretty great, just so long as I don't have to interact with them. Observing is MUCH more fun. Plus it allows more time for making up outlandish theories pertaining to their lifestyle. * Thus, my newfound hobby, which I shall try out on the recently spotted Xander circa Buffy Series 3 who works upstairs from me.

Exciting things that are happening to me lately... 1. FAST INTERNET ---------------- Today I have Broadband Internet installed! It is great, and on the same day when my role model, Robbie Williams told me that he thinks downloading illegal music from the Internet is Grate! He really does. So what else can I do? So my winamp playlist has been bless with many a classic now and one can now often find my room with the following words pumping out of it: DANGER DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE! And I'm happy! Please send me suggestions of more music to that you think I should hear (in private reply preferably please). 2. KEN'S GOING ON TV! --------------------- Tomorrow I'm going to be in the audience for V. Graham Norton, this is quite exciting because it means a chance to be ON TV which has been a childhood dream since... childhood! So look out for me tomorrow night as I'll be in a million pieces picked up for deliberation by the people listening at home and the people watching on the telly! 3. HONG KONG CHU-EY! -------------------- On Saturday I'm going to Hong Kong for 2 weeks to catch Chinese New Year (like it's a disease) and escape the cold weather here! I am so looking forward to this as I haven't been there for years and the more I think about it now the more I reminisce. And so the question follows... are there Hong Kong sinisters on the list? I have only really known one other Hong Kongians on the list and she actually lived in France. So do any of you live in HK now, fancy meeting up for a pint or go "yum cha"? If so reply to me by e-mail here! Jetsetters and Red Bulls! Ken ----- P.S.: Laura Llew said: >>In fact, when I described what he looked like to the aforementioned Jay I >>got the response of, "Sounds like ... you'll be talking about Lord of the >>Rings a lot." Hee! Now, I've talked with plenty the cute boy about Lord of >>the Rings but to have a description that lends that response. << I just can't help but ponder when someone known as "GayJay" starts to talk about Lords of the Ring. Ok Graham Norton here I come. er. anyhoo yes bye! _________________________________________________________________ It's fast, it's easy and it's free.

Of the beach and of the holidays. An old seaside cottage with odd shaped rooms and many hidden corners. The outside walls, the colour of sand, covered by roses and ivy and things I don't know the name of. Plants sprawled chaotically and yet somehow with perfect order around the borders of the garden. Cracked pavings the home for moss. Seashells scattered in the soil almost as frequently as ordinary garden pebbles. The house reminded me of winter. Of Christmas and of the new year. With curtains drawn and the open fire lit the house was transformed. A battle between the damp sea air and burning coal. Red cheeks, hot backs and cold feet. The upstairs windows rattled, the floor creaked and my heart race, as I would tell myself that there was nothing to be afraid of and that ghosts don't really exist. The house would stay constant despite the changes in my life. As I got older I started to feel the frustrated. I wanted the house to see that I was different person since my last visit. 6 months older and a little bit wiser. The house didn't care! It just kept reminding me of the summer, and of the winter and of the change of the seasons. My few years of life were nothing to that old house and it wanted me to make sure that I remembered that. I said goodbye to the house yesterday. It was a sad moment and I thought both of us were going to shed a tear or two. At the last moment though, the house blinked, it wished me well, and told me to "play a long game". I nodded and sighed as I waved to it for the final time.

I am here. In Chicagoish. It is colder than a mother**** here today. just heard the weather. it is -19 degrees outside. christ on a crutch, it is too cold to do ANYTHING!!!! i hope that all of you are well. i know that some of you are as I chat with you everyday. :o) i was happy to see a post from ken chu today, i was wondering where he had been. broadband is the only way to go. it is for this reason that i leave my computer at work now. dsl lines aren't available where i live yet and i cannot go back to dialup. poor me, i know. so in my last post i mentioned a school. i went there on sunday. i was the only girl. i am always the only girl. it reminded me of this time that my friend solomon took me to this hard core porn shoppe. i was the only girl there as well. very uncomfortable. but i digress. i love this school. i am going back on saturday so that the admissions director and i can customise a programme for me, as much of the coursework i have done in spades. i start school in march *ideally* speaking of march, i am on holiday from 21-29 march. i think i may be venturing to lovely arizona. are any of you in arizona? i sure hope so. i mean, i have tons of other mailing list types in arizona, but sinister members are just different. i love you all so very much. I can honestly say that this is the only list that i am on which i don't dread messages from. the truth of the matter is that i love to read posts on here. i think it is so funny that many/most of us, pour our hearts out on this list when, in a social setting, most of us would never speak. i think we are a pretty shy bunch overall. I got an offlist email from someone the other day that said: Hi there, I am a member of Sinister and I wanted to thank you. I read all of your posts and they always make me feel better. So much of what has happened to you I can relate to and I enjoy everything you write. It was one of those phantom emails. have you ever gotten those? where there is nothing in the sender or subject areas? very odd. well, to my phantom sinister, thank you. and to s. lord, i am so happy that we chat as we do. funny how we find ourselves in similar situations. :o) dirty vicar. where are you? i suspect that, as we speak, you are camped out at the Brown Thomas Fashion Show trying to woo Gavin Friday and send him to me. Do have fun. Chris. I hope that you're still alive and having a swinging time in Texas. ben apps. i loved reading about your wedding. the two of you are a lovely couple. all the best. and that wraps it up for now. trying to stay warm...... ~coldstine __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

I didn't go away. I've just been skulking about in the background. But now I have a Job In An Office, which equates to almost limitless time to mess around with email. Yippee. Just read Ken's post about Hong Kong, and it somehow made me think of,,, DONKEY KONG! As in the little handheld computer game from the eighties that made me late for work this morning (I was playing it in bed instead of getting ready). I recently re-discovered it while going through a load of my stuff at my parents house. In a fit of nostalgia, I bought batteries for it (£5.99 - each!) Since then I've been playing it non-stop. Getting the little monkey to run along dodging the crocodiles is so much fun. It is rather repetitive, but I think that just makes it all the more addictive. Hope everybody remembers to listen to John Peel's Burns' night show tonight. B+S, Ballboy *and* the Delgados. It's bound to be good. On a related note, who fancies going to see the Delgados in london on 31st January? I haven't actually got a ticket yet (because I don't want to go on my own) but I think there are still some left.

I just feel like writing a little tonight as our Glaswegian darlings are going to be on the radio soon and I'm getting quite excited about it. I've been listening to Belle and Sebastian recently after hardly listening to them at all for ages, and they still give me all the old feelings. I've just been lying here on the bed listening to Marx and Engels and I really wouldn't rather be anywhere else. Joanne and Holly both said how much they like FLAPPYFLOPS. I do too, although some of the songs make me wince a little. I think The Model is great, for instance, and I Fought In a War and Don't Leave the Light On. You could never call it as consistent as Sinister or Tigermilk, but sometimes it truly dazzles. I also *love* I'm Waking Up to Us. Maybe that one would be a good one for your mum, Jen. At least, it doesn't have any rude bits in it. +++ My mum isn't very cool, although I wouldn't really want her to be. She's much more fun just being a bit daft. Me and my sister had great fun at home during the holidays asking mum questions to see how in touch with the modern world she is: "Name ten famous football players" "Erm, Gazza!" "Yes!" "Erm, Gary Lineker!" "Yes!" "Ooh, I don't know. I like Gary Lineker, he's brill! That's what you children say, isn't it?" "MUM!" +++ Ken wrote about Hong Kong and Lord of the Rings and this reminded me of a little conversation I had with Nick from the Chinese takeaway down the road last year, as I waited for my Crispy Duck in Plum Sauce (number 74). N: Have you seen Lord of the Rings? R: Yes I have. I thought it was really good, actually, although, to be honest, the book bored me to tears. N: Do you know how I first hear about Lord of the Rings? R: No, tell me Nick. N: When I first move here I live in a flat with landlord and other lady. One day I come downstairs and I see a note from the lady to the landlord lying on the kitchen table and it says "You are the lord of my ring." R: Oh. Er.. N: And I think, what does this mean? And then, last year, I find out Lord of the Rings is a book! You know, I couldn't understand until then. Crispy Duck in Plum Sauce? R: Er, yes, bye! +++ It's time for me to leave this joint too. bye! Robin x ps: Dirty Vicar, in Deutsch Plus today we saw the episode when Nico got thrown out of his house. It was very funny. Arm Nico! I'm going to write to Deutsch Plus and try to get a signed photo of Nico. He is my hero.

Message-ID: <003901c2c328$38568e60$96c844c8@hmgvlopez> (Someone said, a few posts ago, that he wakes up smiling with me and the major. therefore, this message) I love waking up with music. That's the only way i like mornings. I also have developed this theory that claims that the things that happen to me on the day depend on the music that wakes me up. For example, waking up with "If you are feeling sinister" means a day of adventure. Don't ask me why, i know it doesn't make so much of sense. "A summer wasting" means a day when i realize that i'm ok with my self. Self acceptance rules. Waking up with anything from Cat Power gives me a depressing day. Waking up with anything from Morphine means i'm going to say something really "cool"... That's a smart-ass day. Waking up with "Cookie Day" form Shounen Knife gives me a silly-happy-cheery day. Waking up with "Words and Guitar", from Sleater-Kinney means i'm going to speak my word, real loud! Waking up with "Upside-Down" from Yo la tengo (the demo version of the song), means i'm going to have a day of nice feelings. Waking up with "The empty page" from Sonic Youth gives me a "super yay-ey day". Not so sure what that meant. And, the last one, waking with "Friday I'm in Love", from the cure, means to fall in love. But it MUST to be a Friday, once i played it on a Monday and it was a dissaster. I hated every one i met that day! Of course, this list works only with me, if any of you give it a try, god only know what will happen. Focusing on the subject of my last mail, 2003's being great so far! Politics are still the same, but on apersonal level's been great. My band's going to play for the first time, on a really big place. I mean, i'm going to play on the same place where i went to see a lot of people i really admire. Yay! And new friendly faces are great!! And thanks to all of you, really, i love being a part of this, Wet kisses to all of you, Silly Fran +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Since Chicago is such a wonderful place in late May, I figure it would be a great time to have a picnic. We all may die of either heatstroke OR hypothermia, but usually Chicago is a relatively pleasant at that time of year. I'm hoping to gather as many folks from as far and as wide as possible, so please check your calendars to see if you can make it and e-mail me off list so I can get a vague idea of who might be attending so I can figure out what to do. This brings up my second question...if you came to Chicago what would you want to do? Going to Wrigley field for any out of towners is usually a good experience, and Stuart IS a cubs fan, so maybe we'll see him there. If anybody out there has any suggestions, or if any locals read this and know of fun things to do, let me know. I'll keep people posted periodically as things progress...

What a jukebox! It had Dusty's greatest, Sally Cinnamon, Van Morrison, loads of Motown, and the song by the Rolling Stones that contains the line, "Ian Watson, you're to blame". I drank too much and laughed too much. "Why are you laughing so much?" asked Mike. "Because you're being funny," I replied. He was. He was telling me about a radio station in London run by the London Musicians Collective or somesuch. Think its called resonance.fm. Mike is a free jazz avant guard saxophonist and the station has loads of bizarre shows that feature stuff like that. My favourite is called Taking A Life For A Walk. Over a half hour show, a woman straps a mic to her forehead then takes her baby for a walk in its stroller. While playing the saxophone. I am not making this up. They closed the curtains in the pub. I like it when that happens. Good thick curtains, drawn with a purpose. There was only about six people in there. Me and Mike. Two guys on the table next to us. A couple at the bar. But rather than chuck everyone out come chucking out time, the guy just drew the curtains. Like it was a point of principle. I got home, drank wine, because, you know, the damage had been done anyway, watched TV (no idea what), and stumbled into bed, trying not to wake Her Indoors (or Her Inbed). And I woke up this morning - der-ner-ner-ner - to sounds of someone opening the front door to our flat and then...well, I wasn't sure what. My girlfriend had already gone to work, so it wasn't her. I could be dreaming (content!!). Or I could be being burgled. It was bizarre. I raised my hungover body out of bed, opened the door to our bedroom expecting to see no one at all...and there he was. A man on his knees, with a screwdriver. "I've come to fix the bottom lock on your door. I did shout out." "Sorry, I didn't hear. I was asleep." "That's alright mate. We all need our sleep." How right he is. I'm going back to bed. x +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Last night I had the good fortune to bump into my friend Kate who invited me for vodka drinks, the effects of which I am still feeling. In a good way though. Whenever I have been drinking the night before I rarely sleep past eight the next morning. So I'm sitting here with some pretty astounding bedhead and finally getting around to writing to you all. I've been back at school for two weeks now, after having gone to California, and then to Iceland. The California trip was with my family, meaning my brother and I had a great time goofing off and my mother ruined it by being miserable and trying to make the trip a Wholesome Family Vacation. Not only that but she gave me crap about drinking too much soda. Yet, I did get a picture of myself taken caressing Wayne Newton's star on the walk of fame (which we had to park in front of a porn shop to get to) so I guess I won out in the end. Iceland was amazing. I partied with Russian in Reykjavik on New Year's Eve. The Russians were fantastic. They shared with us what they had, bought us pizza, drove us to the mountains and the blue lagoon, and hardly even tried to woo us. On the whole the trip was lovely and astounding. Unfortunately it was marred by my supposed best friend doing something mindnumbingly crap to me at the end of it. We still need to have a talk. We did bump into sigur ros in Keflavik on the way home. They were all smiley and polite. I want to take them home and cook them a good meal. On a vaguely content related note, I have been taking belle and sebastian for walks with me. It's been very solitary lately with the butt-biting cold we've been having, but I like it all the same. I love to walk around campus listening to music, singing along ever so softly. I love to disappear into the trees and buildings and people who don't know me. Belle and sebastian is good for that because it makes me smile, and when I'm walking amongst people who don't know me I try to smile at them, in the hopes that I can make a stranger smile. Now that you've scrolled and skimmed I'll do my usual begging for some kind of Boston meet up. I realize that the aforementioned butt-biting cold makes picnics a lot less fun, so maybe we could go to the aquarium, or museum of science, or sushi and karaoke. I'll even be in charge if you want. Email me, call me (picnic) mommy, and I'll lift a car to save your life (because mothers can do that when their young are endangered) Love and fireworks, Kara www2.bc.edu/~brielman _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

I met Belle and Sebastian once. Well sort of I did. Me and my lass-at-the-time went to see them play in Scarborough, oooh, about 18 months or so back. And very good they were too, except we had to sit down at the gig. I've never been to a sitty-doon gig before and I'm not too sure I like it. I'm used to sweaty moshpits with everyone drinking lager. This was a much more civilised do. Everyone sitting down, eating candyfloss and ice-creams and drinking panda pops (not really made from pandas non-uk people. At least I don't think so). In the bar beforehand some guy spilt my drink and I honestly thought he was going to start crying. Ahhh, don't you just love it? You wouldn't get that at a Puddle of Mudd gig. Anyway, after the gig we got back to the hotel and some young scallywag had broken into our room and swiped my mobile, my shirt and my lass-at-the-time's glasses! why on earth would someone steal someone's glasses? Not happy, and if I'd have gotten hold of him I would have put on my disembowelling hat. Next day, we were walking into town to get the train home when who should be loading up their bus but young Struan and, I think, Mick (could be wrong). Sarah was there too and she was wearing the same jumper that she had on on-stage the night before - uurrr! "Nice gig last night" I said, "thank you very much" said Struan. "Yeah, it was tops" couldn't think of anything else to say so walked off and bought a tin robot (really). Why on earth I didn't get them to sign my ticket or CDs or something I don't know. Why I didn't steal Isobel is beyond me. oh well, you've got to move on haven't you? ANyway, the important bit. Did you know all polar bears are left handed? They end up smudging their work with their whopping A3 sized paws because we right left to right. I think that this may be the main reason why there has never been a really popular polar bear novel - their work is always rejected by the publishers because of the terrible presentation before they get chance to read it. Either that or they can't write in the first place because they can't find their white paper (think about it). I think we should all chip in and buy typewriters and bright paper to encourage them. Set up a charity or something. Bye Dean X A geordie lass went into the hairdressers and asked for a perm.

I'm sure I wasn't alone. Message-ID: Hello Sinister. I'm feeling a bit peaky this evening (which reminds me of a Sleeper lyric: http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Studio/7341/itgirl.html), mainly because I've had quite a Week Of Rawk, one way or another. Games of late-night poker which end up more like early-morning, motown club nights and seeing Supergrass have all made me feel that if I have another late one I might just die. So I thought I'd spare you all the grizzly circumstances that would doubtless follow my death, and stay in tonight instead with The Book Group (http://www.channel4.com/entertainment/tv/microsites/B/bookgroup/index.html) and CM3 (http://www.thedugout.net) for company. I bought a very flash pair of headphones the other day, and I have been using them rather a lot. I have to admit, I do feel like a quite the prog-rock fan sitting in my comfy chair in my room with two great cans on the side of my head, but I don't really mind. I was listening to Storytelling through them the other day, and I have to say they really can improve a record. I mean, I like Storytelling anyway, but hearing it so crisply really improves it. I really think that everybody should watch The Book Group tonight, if like me you're too sad to actually get of the house. It's a very Sinister programme, if you know what I mean; it's literary, sly, witty, a tad melodramatic and very cultish. Anyway, I think you should watch it.

Message-ID: <20030125001515.47150.qmail@web41104.mail.yahoo.com> Despite my attempts to unsubscribe with this email addy, it seems sinister is having none of it. So let that be a message of fate, divine intervention, or whatever. I've not posted for a while, and I felt inclined. I, like so many have already mentioned (featherboa and Mark Casarotto spring readily to mind, like Zebadee in the Magic Roundabout) have been devoting my ego to the massagings of a blog. Initially, I thought blogs were a waste of space and time. I remember reading in some HTML for Dummies book, that really, content was always important. It mentioned something about diaries, and how only really, your mum would want to read about how crap you felt cos you had a cold, etc. That was offputting. Then I decided I wanted to be one of those who could gratiously go on about themselves for days on end, and have people read it. As someone who can go on about herself for days on end, it seemed the perfect medium in which to conduct my self-centred written ego-wanking, and enjoy the idea of it being watched by tens of people. So it came to be. I have a blog. I write on it. And now, what use does sinister serve me? It states firmly, in the Rules That Must Be Obeyed, something about not writing dear diary style entries. Of course, I ignored that, and did it anyway. Now I have a diary/ blog in which I can do these things purposefully. So by the time it gets to sinister, I'm all me-me-me'd out. It doesn't mean I don't read sinister. Oh, I do, I do. I read it during my lunch break. And with two email addys receiving it (I tried to get this one stopped - it didn't happen. I can't be arsed unsubscribing again, and I dunno which one I don't want getting your posts)I hve ample chance to read. I also play a sad game of matching up stats random phrases from #sinister. http://honey.crockery.org/auntwendy/stats.html Me and another sinisterian do this via email. Each quote, for those of you who don't know, is random. We make up little conversations, matching random quotes that could work together. Below are examples. hobnob "i just want to ogle nicole kidman's weird fake nose" kirsten "her nose looks like it's caved in" ree "and in interviews she's dumb as rocks" GayJay "I want to be a fundamentalist Televangelist sometimes." Pythia "believe me, it's too cold." millkmaid "i wish i could suddenly kiss boys" worktails "feel free to start tying me to the furniture too... ;-)" retro^sec "are you planning any gigs soon?" municipal "aye, Sunderland (wherever that is)" RealOuch "i have to fork out �700 on the 31st" phatlip "for stainless steel, it's pretty fucking pricey" Its a sad game, but what else am I meant to do in my lunch, after I've read my horoscope and the letters page in the Metro, and scowered the bbc website for anything interesting, eaten my sandwiches, sipped my diet coke*, eaten my apple and checked the b+s site for new diary entries and read some of the latest sinster posts? I've got an age-long half hour to kill, after all. I didn't hear the B+S song on the John Peel thing last night. Forgive me mummy, for I have sinned. I was out drinking instead. There was a photo in the Sunday Times last week, of protesters at Loch Long. It seemed to coincide with a certain diary of a certain pop-star in a certain band that a certain mailing list is sort of about. Ok. Enough. I'm just getting back into the swing of posting now, and I need to take it easy til I'm up o speed on postability.

Anyway, hello again. I haven't posted anything in a while, but I still read it when I'm ignoring my homework, which is all the time. I usually only ever post to one mailing list or one message board or my livejournal at a time, and so I get sidetracked. I've been dollying up my livejournal quite a bit. Now it's full of links and snide remarks everywhere, and really, what is the internet anymore if not a bunch of links connecting me to all my friends to all their friends? So I live in Minnesota, right, and it was cold here. I think it spent a couple of days below zero. Yesterday morning when my roommate went to work it was 17 below, and the other night the wind chill was pretty regularly in the -30s. Naturally, the only real solution was for me to spend three hours outside playing broomball. For the uninitiated, this is like hockey played outside with tennis shoes, unbristled brooms, and a bright orange soccer ball. It's the most entertaining game in the world if you are a masochistic Midwesterner, next to watching Cubs games. Now it's a quite balmy 13, and next week we may even see the positive side of the Celsius scale, which is stunning. I hope we don't, but I would like to stay on the positive side of the Fahrenheit scale for a long time. I forget what else I was going to say. Clearly it was important. There's always next time. I suppose I'll listen to the tape of my radio show again, so as to hear our funny song transitions - from Portishead to Senor Coconut!

Somebody wrote in their subject line about pigtails. Honestly, I think pigtails could be the best hairstyle ever made. Well, perhaps not, but they're certainly so much fun to wear. Whenever I put my hair into pigtails, I feel like having fun. And I do, even if that does just mean putting on a record and jumping around to it. When I'm having a super great day (a day when I, say, wake up and the radio is - unusually - playing something really good, like Sleater-Kinney or Blur ... we're not granted THAT many privileges!), I'll put on video clips and just dance around to those, so it's double the pleasure. Because, hot diggety if the 'Lazy Line Painter Jane' clip doesn't make me ecstatic for an entire day or more. I saw 'Chicago' tonight and I enjoyed it so much! All that dancing and fishnets and 1920s glamour *sigh* I want to get my hair cut now, but then it would mean I wouldn't be able to wear my pigtails anymore. xox alex p.s. for another strange animal fact, I heard that if a magnet is placed over a lobsters head, it just rolls around and around, because its sense of direction is messed up...i could be wrong. ===================================== I took your advice and fixed my radio But I can't find anything that sounds good anymore http://www.geocities.com/veruca_salt_97/ http://darlingalex.diaryland.com/ _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

Message-ID: Hello everyone, So it seems I missed belle and sebastian on John Peel the other night. Perhaps i'll hear it someday. I heard the christmas show, but I still haven't heard the peel session previous to that. If anyone knows where I can get it... The Christmas Peel Session was fantastic though, wasn't it? I certainly loved it. I woke up at around 3 pm today. I'm in one of those crap moods. I have nothing to do tonight really, so it's a Saturday night inside. Those are always so depressing. I was thinking that when I decided to finally check belle and sebastian's website to find, lo and behold, Mr. Murdoch (yessssss??? where is heeee???) wrote something along those lines in his new diary entry. I quite enjoy his diary (is it called a blog?). Much more than most blogs I've read. I started a Clash Diaryring last year out of boredom, and everyone who has joined has been a whiny bucket of annoying. Terrible blogs about how depressed they are, how much they just LOVE MAYNARD and/or Trent. Those poor white suburban American teenagers. Their parents just don't understand them. Now my blog is often no joy ride, but I like to think I have some moments of sheer happiness. Nothing as such on these. It's as though the youth of blogging America are trying to outdo the others with problems and depression, as though it's some sort of street cred. Of course, I know first hand these people, and I can't stand them really. And I feel sorry for them. How can you not feel sorry for a strict Christian who is also a pregnant, 18 year old "Wicca" who also happens to be a lesbian with a male fiancee in New York. And cocaine is in that equation somewhere.* With a life as rough as that... I think people should just lighten up. Putting on the clash or a nice belle and sebastian record (which i don't have very many of as they are in storage, should I rebuy them?). OR! Put on Big Audio Dynamite's "Super Hits" (Best 3 pounds I've spent in a while) and listen to that force of nature that is the opening drum beats of "E=MC2". Of course, the downside to listening to that right now is I'm excited and full of energy. It'll be a while yet before I'll feel the need to sleep, and I don't much like sleeping these days anyway.

This might not mean much in itself, but if you knew me better, you might have guessed what I was thinking while walking down that street. Then again, maybe you wouldn�t. In any case, I was thinking about how things change. How they change a lot, unexpectedly and in funny ways -in both senses of the word funny. Everything seems unexpected even though I spend a lot of my time preparing for the future, and I don�t think I�m half bad at it. Still, reality is always different from what I�ve imagined. Different doesn�t always mean worse. Different is a big part of life. Reality is different than your dreams, both those dreamed at night and those dreamt in the daytime. What turns out is different than what you had planned. That boy is different from up close than he looked from far away, when you dreamed of him. Even the places where you take your holidays in are different that you thought they would be. And if you�ve been there before, well, then they tend to change with time. You change with time too. Sometimes people don�t notice. I know a girl who got angry at a house because it didn�t care. Other times, people misinterpret it. Often they get disappointed. This particularly happens if you�re in a band hundreds of people adore. Then, everything you do can be judged, and people aren�t very good at judging. Or maybe they�re too good. In any case they�re not very good at being content and happy. I�m getting better every day. Things change with time too. Mailing lists, the internet, the way people express themselves. Hopefully the way people live, too. And I say hopefully because for me change has always been a chance for something better. When I was a little girl I would get excited every time the doorbell rang. The prospect of someone I hadn�t seen in a while coming to play with me and change that boring afternoon (or make that interesting afternoon even better) made me bounce on the bed a few times before running straight to the door. There, I would try to stand where my brother was standing, or he would do the same thing with where I was standing. Since then the prospect of change has always been a positive one. Whenever I am about to move (and it happens quite a lot) I always think I am about to find my dream home and have a wonderful life in it. I haven�t even got close but somehow it doesn�t get me down. The dream of moving still gives me the strongest visions of happiness. In any case, it�s good to know you have within you the power to dream of such beautiful things. It changes can change the way you look at yourself. Of course, a lot of the time reality lets you down. To be honest, it happens too often. It happens more than people admit to it. As the aforementioned girl said, the trick is not to take it personally. You are not what the world revolves around. Not even your world. Think of that: deep down, it is a good thought. It can be very liberating. So a lot of the time things change, or turn out to be different, in ways that let you down. People grow up and, for a hundred different reasons, leave you behind. Your favourite band starts writing music that doesn�t effect your life the way it used to. And this mailing list is not what it used to be, either. People neglect to post �I do too- for a hundred different reasons. They have other people to write to, other places to write in and other things to take care of. Possibly secrets to keep, too. It is often said that people don�t post to this list, because they post to these blog things of theirs. I thought it would be a good idea to make a list of them all. So if you have one, are �or have been- on this list, and want people on this list to know about it, could you please email me (OFF LIST PLEASE). Include your name, the site�s name, the URL, and, except if you�re feeling particularly uninspired and/or lazy, why you made it. Please do it even if I know you and your site. It will keep things easy. Changes can be good, they can be bad, and they can just be different, but in any case they are going to happen. And what they are above all is, to me, surprising -and thus interesting. The world and the way it works never ceases to surprise me, and this is one of the things that keep me alive. Changes are less scary when you allow them and accept them. People �and as a consequence, the things they make- have their own lives to live, their own destiny to follow even. They say true love is that which accepts other people�s destiny, even if it means they�ll leave you. Love, Dimitra Daisy xx ~~~~~~ Meanwhile, the idea has left its home in the sky and it was travelling fast through the atmosphere of the planet... it landed on the bed, among us the empty cups of tea and the Lucksmiths, Sodastream and Magnetic Fields records. http://www.friendsoftheheroes.co.uk/ _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

Hello all, and to all a good day. Yesterday was a Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like a Peasant day because I was in that mood. It's not my favourite Belle and Sebastian cd because I haven't really got a favourite. I brought my friend to a place downtown last night (my first time driving downtown, but I was too worried about not falling asleep to be scared) and we listened to Belle and Sebastian. I'm not so sure he likes them (in fact, I don't think he does), but they were very good background music for our conversation. Lately I've just been hanging about and trying to get college sorted. It's proving to be quite the task. Not for me, but for my parents. I won't go into that though because it's rather boring. I like Sundays. I always want to listen to fluffy music on Sunday because Sundays are like that, but I can't today. Today is a Smiths day. Louder Than Bombs will be my choice of listening today, simply because it has Asleep on it. When I'm sad I can listen to that song over and over (though it's probably not good for me). Music like that keeps me going. I like to listen to bad music sometimes as well just so I'll better appreciate the music I love. I listened to Saves the Day in my car the other day and my ears were relieved when I put in Beulah. Ah, the cuteness of that band never ceases to amaze me. Right. I'd like to say I had a good reason for posting, but I didn't. Since I have no content, I'll shamelessly plug my diary. http://feio.diaryland.com. I don't update much, but since everyone is putting links I might as well go along. Speaking of which, thank you all for putting links. As I am a voyeur, I love reading journals. It's one of the best past times I've come across. I guess I should use that time to study more, but that's no fun! Oh yes! I'm going to try harder to be more open to other music and books. I rarely read anymore, but when I do I really ejoy it. If any of you could suggest books for me to read and some music for me to listen to, it would be much appreciated. It doesn't matter what book or band it is, but please give me a little bit about it if it's a book so I'll semi know what to expect. Thank you all :) I'd better get going. I've got a very cute epic (I know, I know- epics aren't supposed to be cute!) to finish for English tomorrow and it has to be typed out. I pride myself on being a fast typer, but that's one long story and it might take quite a bit of time. xoxo, Elizabeth _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP 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 at missprint.org.

Super Bowl. Mmm-mm. I'm kind of rooting for the Oakland Raiders to slowly and painfully dismantle the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, since the Bucs unmercifully thought fit to cause much wailing and gnashing in my hometown of Philadelphia by beating the living hell out of the Eagles. And really, Raiders vs. Bucs- it's a game between two pirates, and which name sounds tougher? Yup, that's right, the Raiders. Buccaneers is name more appropriate for, say, one of the tertiary characters in Pirates of Penzance, viz. "Hey, it's Lou the Buccaneer!", who bears an uncanny resemblance, maybe, to a bearded Danny Aiello (am I the only one who worries about this man's career?). But enough about football. Although I always thought it would be fun to have a Sinister List Sports Betting Pool. Living in the South, and yet being born in the North has many distinct disadvantages. The one that gets to me the most is that, whenever people know I spent most of my life in the North, they always assume that cold weather doesn't bother me. As in, it's 30 degrees F outside, and I say "Oh god it's cold." and they say to me in a rolling Southern drawl "well you should be used to it." I can only imagine what Southerners are taught in school about the North- I know the Civil War is sometimes referred to as "The War of Northern Aggression", but I mean, c'mon. It's like people think that being Northern-born means you spent the majority of your free-time adolescence outside in snowshoes, romping through the pure white powder, and pillaging neighboring iglooes. As if I had antifreeze in my blood. Is anyone else addicted to: a) America's Prince, the John F. Kennedy Jr. Story [in which we find wooden acting, very horribly conceptualized documentary style, and Portia de Rossi! not to mention a Moby song] or b)Giuliana from E! news. [this channel has become the most life-negating thing in my, well, life. This woman's mouth is fascinating beyond reason. It's...sharp somehow.] I feel weird admitting these things, and yet relieved at the same time. E! seriously has taken over a good 60% of my non-motor function brain space. well, I hope you're all doing well and amusing yourselves and others, Kevin +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Well, I've seen that Ken Chu is still here, which means the list is in somwhat normal order. I'm in a new school now, a GREAT school actually. It's an English School, but in Sweden. All the teachers are native though, so I have the pleasure of talking to Irish, Australian, British, Scottish and Canadian teachers every day. It makes me feel SO international, darlings. Ah. Very nice. Page under constructions: www.vertigo.dot.nu Uh-Huh. Still in love with Ryan Adams, Jesse Malin and other lonely men with guitars. Mhm. B&S is the band I about once every second week remember, and then I listen to the songs, look at me with them (I have got pictures) and then I giggle because Belfast Bob was doing this weird thing. I'm not as obsessed anymore, but that's nice. I actually told Stuart he was my God. Yeah. I KNOW. But he thought I was cool anyway, so yay! Well, just wanted to say hey, I'm back again dear sinisters. Take care, Luv, Astrid x Reporter: Spit or swallow? Craig N: I like all birds. I think the eagle is my favourite. Aaaaaaw.

And now its started in my neck, so i'm in great shape. I suppose i could win an albert steptoe lookalike competition, I'm only 30 going on 75. . . The quack has been no help whatsoever. Anyone that can reccomend anything herbal for relief or help to sleep it would be a help.Having an excitable 13 week old kitten jumping all over me at night hasn't helped much either.

I don't use ANYTHING as a 'dear diary' forum though, partly because I'm now ENGAGED TO BE MARRIED and I wouldn't want hubby stumbling on dirty secrets. Not that I have any (that's the other reason). But, just to prove that getting married doesn't mean I'm going to become a reclusive housewife, I'm going to have a BRIGHTON PICNIC! I'm toying with *Saturday 22nd February* as a possible date, but don't take my word for it. Expressions of interest/promises of cakes and booze will be greatly appreciated at this early stage. And lastly, a plug for my webzine. It's been all redesigned and made user-friendly and lovely, and I'm quite excited because I got to use some of my own html skeez this time. But I can't put the new version up until it has some brand new CONTENT to match the face lift. So, if you have any poetry, short fiction or reviews of ANYTHING, send them to submissions at buzzwords.ndo.co.uk. That would be grand.

I seem to be apologising all over the shop today and here is no different � you�d think that Christmas and being back home would inspire me to write a big truckload of lengthy shambolic one paragraph posts (haha � I think I might�ve already told you this but one of my tutors used the phrase �garden path sentences�� when describing my writing style) and, well, it sort of did, the inspiration was there � I was going to write a big �2002 in review� post about all sorts of things from last year, I still might actually, but I share a room with my brother at home you see and though I wuv him dearly he 1. Never shuts up and 2. Always has the telly on, which makes writing pretty difficult, especially after having spent a term in relative seclusion where I can sit quietly at the computer and stick Stars of the Lid on the headphones and have nothing distract me, which is what I�m doing now. Or more or less anyway � because I do have a couple of motives that would best be described as ulterior when it comes to this post. The first is yer classic work avoidance tactic, and the work I�m avoidancing this time is revising for an exam on Thursday, I�ve never been good at revising really, holding a thought to the end of a sentence is difficult enough, but I�m sure I�ll muddle through. The other, more interesting, motive d�ulterieur (as the French say, possibly) is a moral dilemma of Hollyoaks proportions (caveat: I have never seen Hollyoaks, but one of my friends always uses it to describe stuff like this) which I will now relate. But first a short preamble to sort of set the scene � I arrived back in Sheffield just over a week ago, on the Sunday, to find the people on my floor in unusually high spirits, having drunk, as they had, an unusually high level of spirits. Oh ho ho ho. I suppose this was fair enough considering it was their first day back together after a month or so of absence, so I went off for a walk and left them to it � I have a nice camera to play with now so I�ve been taking moody, pretentious black and white snaps of all sorts of things � I finally got round to photographing the gate with wall behind it to which I devoted a whole Sinister post last year. However, despite the week being exam week the partay didn�t stop, much to my chagrin � grinning I wasn�t - and by Wednesday I had had enough and so off I went back home (I had to go back anyway since I�d forgotten a bunch of important stuff, and I also wanted to see the Spring Heel Jack gig, which was wonderful by the way, them doing improv with a bunch of jazzers - Evan Parker, William Parker, Matthew Ship, Han Bennink and your man from Spiritualized, there�s still a couple of dates left, so if you get the chance it�s well worth it). I arrived back yesterday to find a �newsletter� had been shoved under my door detailing all the damage done to the Hall during this first week back, now I�m not particularly easily fazed, as those who know me will attest, but the sheer amount of stuff that had been broken, smashed, thrown out of windows or, ahem, smeared along walls *was* a genuine shock � and the floor that I�m on was among the worst, from what I hear the couple of nights that I was away were really raucous, culminating in a bin being thrown out of a window (and we�re on the ninth floor here), nearly hitting someone and, for about the fifth time that week, the fire alarm being tripped. The dilemma is this � today at dinner an someone told me that the above, and other things which have yet gone unreported, were both done by the same person � he also told me that a meeting is going to be called sometime soon for our floor, which�ll basically amount to a big telling off (we�ve had them before, including an impromptu one at 8am one morning when the slightly mental head warden, or whatever she is, hammered on all our doors, virtually dragged everyone and then shouted at us for more than half an hour while we stood bleary-eyed) � fair enough, and, and this is the crucial part, that if they find out who threw the bin out of the window they�ll kick that person out of the hall in one of those �as a warning� type things. Fair enough. Well now the person in question isn�t exactly top of my list of friends, in fact I�ve hardly said a word to the guy since, well, since forever, and while he hasn�t really done anything bad directly to me beyond the odd �not quite out of earshot� snide comment I do find him really offensive. He struck me right from the start as being one of those kids from middle England Daily Mail reading families who, sent to university to study some Noddy course (to be honest I haven�t a clue what he�s studying � I think it�s something to do with computers actually, but no offence to anyone reading that does stuff with computers, actually I�m digging myself into a bit of a hole here, so retract that bit) who, fresh from the cloying arms of his family (actually his family came up to visit one afternoon last year and he was talking in the lift with them about all the fantastic stuff he�d done, such as setting off fire extinguishers and things � they laughed, so perhaps I�m a bit off here) who takes rebellion a bit too far and, ideologically is stuck somewhere in the Daily Mail letters pages having expressed sentiments encompassing racism, sexism and homophobia � sometimes all in the same sentence! Naturally I took measures to try to avoid him after the first week, but since he�s in the room next door that�s a bit difficult, fortunately he doesn�t seem to want anything to do with me either, which is good, but I am constantly surprised by his backwards thinking whenever I come into contact with him. All that in mind my first instinct at dinner was that I should go and tell the relevant people and thus be instrumental in his being expelled from the halls (all reportings like that are treated anonymously of course), you see, I think it *would* work well as a deterrent � nobody wants to be kicked out of where they live and if that curbs the annoying/destructive behaviour (and means that I can get a decent nights sleep) then mores the better. So great! I grass him up and one of my least favourite people on the floor has to leave and potentially everyone calms down a bit. But that is precisely the problem, see, had it been someone else then the thought wouldn�t have entered my head really and while throwing a bin out of a high window is an incredibly stupid thing to do, when I first heard about it it only affected me in relation to all the other stuff I was hearing about i.e. I didn�t think all that much about it over all the other stupid stuff. So if I was to go and report him then it would be almost entirely self-motivated and for the wrong reasons � I�d be doing it because I think he�s a prick, not because he threw a bin out of the window, basically I�d be abusing the system. Not that I�m particularly keen on the system, really, and that�s another thing � I�m not sure I�m comfortable with the idea of myself as a grass, I don�t want to take sides on this, and so far I�ve managed not to but since the hall authorities, quite naturally, seem keen to stamp out all this damage I can see it landing me firmly in the �and you�ll let us know if anything else happens, wont you?� stakes. That sort of internal politicking is the last thing I want to get involved in. So my question to you, Sinister, is � what should I do?� � despite my new years resolution being to try and concentrate more on the �faire� part of laissez-faire I am leaning towards doing nothing, for the simple reason that it�s easier (both in actual terms and on my conscience), which irks me slightly, but� I�m really stuck on this one. I�m not expecting Sinister to come up with some sort of definitive answer really, though advice would certainly be welcome, writing this is more for me to try and pin down the pros and cons, which I suppose it has done, though I�m no nearer to making up my mind at all. Oh well. I�ll get back to you on what I ended up doing whenever I next post, which, given that I�m back here will probably be fairly soon. - Kieran ps My address isn�t all that long is it? Is having a long address a social stigma?

See what you think... I think this forthcoming Monday should be International Ink Polaroid Day. Which means that everyone on this list should post an Ink Polaroid taken over the previous weekend. It can be taken at any time, about anything or anyone, capture whatever you want it to capture. Why is this a good idea? I have a confession. I've been seeing someone else. It's not you, it's me. I'm a member of the Indie Pop list. And while the folk who subscribe to said list are undoubtedly fine people, I often haven't a clue what they're on about. It's not just a case of two nations divided by a single language. It's the notion that we aren't even talking about the same kind of music. Sinister isn't like that. So I thought it would be interesting to post tiny snapshots from our lives so we might understand each other even more. Or be surprised by each other. Or be amused/entertained/amazed/outraged/whatever you feel like being. So, you know...

It will be the 1st March too, which is a) St David's Day so there's a slim excuse for celebration (especially but not exclusively if you're Welsh) and b) it's the beginning of a new month, one that almost sounds like spring. Which means that it will NOT rain, snow or spew bizarre jizz from the sea. Also, I am just going to keep saying dates until Miss Maddie says she can come. I can't organise a picnic without her there to bitch with and decide when it's time for a nice cup of tea. I like the idea of Monday being Ink Polaroid Day very much. I will even try to participate, though I have to make sure the old mental camera has film in it. Love Archel xxx PS.

Message-ID: It's strange how life works. How one mention of one band can rip me away from reclusive pensive thought and can plunge me into a new, entirely active intellectual world. I've known of Belle and Sebastian since 1998,however I never really explored the band in depth. I live in Australia,where B+S, if mentioned, is usually greeted with a quizzical frown. The band is truly underground, spread by word of mouth. At least, where I live. What inspired me to rediscover the band was a quick flash. At work, while we were deciding what CD's to play, I saw a red flash. A girl was flipping quickly through her CD case, deciding what to put on. I was shocked that she was shocked that we were both amazed about knowing Belle and Sebastian. That red flash was Sinister. Now here I am on the Sinister mailing list 3 months on. She apparently found out about B+S from an American guy she dated about a year ago, and I found out about B+S from some British guy I knew. I think that is what makes B+S so unique for me as a band, is that they are not in the public. I've never seen a video clip, I've never heard them played on the radio. I've been to the official websites and found scant information. No real in-depth interviews, no indication of who they really are*. Anyway, that is my experience of B+S, that is my image of them. I'm sure there are a lot of you who would immediately disagree, and I'd be interested to know how you all see them. Even how they see themselves. The posting by Dimitra Daisy (V4 #966) really struck a chord. Her experience of the world is fascinating. Until reading it, I never truly knew that there are people that think in the same way as I do in the world. It was comforting somehow, and altogether "an illusion caused by the world spinning 'round" (F.L. ref.). I liked the way she views change. However what she leaves behind as old is what I begin as new. So hello to all of you, and thanks for at least skimming through my very first entry! >From Ivone (or Ivonski amongst friends). ivone_rebelo at hotmail.com.au *the exception being Stuart's diary from the band website.

Mark C and Archel to thread! I still love you Sinister, even though I keep flirting with other people and not giving you enough attention. Most evenings I have a headache, but sometimes I just want to be alone. And then there's the times that I have to read long essays for school. Not just read them, but UNDERSTAND them and write responses. That means I can't cheat and pretend, which is my normal style of learning. This week, I went to see LOVE with Arthur Lee and it was one of the toppermost gigs I've been to. I think there's still a few UK dates left of the tour and I must urge you to seek them out. They played the whole of the Foreverchanges album (that Lawrence Mikkleson sent me ages ago when I was a Sinister spring chicken), complete with strings and brass. Hearing them play Alone Again Or sent wonderful shivers all up and down. Then Arthur Lee played some of his new material (which, according to a recent interview with NME, he thinks is the best stuff he's ever written) and holy crap! but it was hilariously bad. The band were smirking. The lyrics went something like this: Bye bye America Bye Bye Bye You made me love you But you made me cry I went to Scotland I couldn't refuse I went to Scotland I couldn't refuse (instrumental break: sounds like some Scottish Highland Fling type thing played by trombone and trumpets) Bye bye America.... Awful awful awful. But still, a wondeful night. Archel's proposing a picnic, is she? I can't go but FINE, see if I care! I'm going to Liverpool for a dirty weekend with a hott lecturer (trans: there's a conference and my lecturer will be there and she will bother me about my dissertation, sigh when I disappoint her once again, tell me to work harder, then we will both leave alone). But please, go in my place. Drink my pints of lager. Laugh at Mark C falling in the sea for me. Fall over on Archel's head in my place. Ben Apps won't be attending, I imagine, so find another boy to cover in Urban Decay glitter-tastic make up. Oh, and thanks to everyone for doing their thing in the Christmas Exchange. Special thanks to Featherboa and Dirty Vicar for my presents. And thank you to GayJay for my special gift. It's beautiful.

"When I'm rich, I hope I'm not mean to poor people...like I am now." :o) i have compiled a little list of things i must do this year...shall i share it with you? okay: 1) Meet Gavin Friday 2) Finish school 3) Learn how to knit 4) start cooking again...haven't done so in ages 5) Start practicing the guitar again..."" 6) Remember to take my vitamins daily..."" 7) Buy more pink shirts 8) Stop falling for boys who encapsulate any of the following traits; live across the atlantic ocean, are in their 40's, are addicted to something, are people whom i have never, nor am likely to ever, meet (excluding gavin friday), are in bands (grrr), and are gay. 9) Wear more bracelets 10) Actually read Ulysses....as opposed to always meaning to that's about it for now. i must get started on my list. love to you all...well, most of you. kisses and corn pops ~stine __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Message-ID: I've decided to keep up my regular weekly posting to Sinister even when no one has questioned my virtuousness lest I inadvertently set a precedent of only speaking up when someone insults me or insinuates that I might actually stoop low enough to do something like k-i-s-s a b-o-y. Archel hardly needs an excuse to start yelling, "Bow to the queen of slime, the queen of filth, the queen of putrescence!" as it is, much less just to get my attention. I actually meant to write this yesterday but I was busy with two houseguests. Yes, I'm all about eating pancakes which they've made for me, or waiting on them as they wash my car or take it to get its oil changed, or picking out which color of paint (tea green) that they are to buy so they can paint my room. This hosting thing is so involved and I'm just plum worn out. Thus, I shall keep this short and snappy (the opposite of me) with only two semi-sinister related tidbits. The first is that Stuart David's Nalda Said is finally being released in the US in April of this year for the mere price of $14.95. Previously it was just published by Independent Music Press but now Turtle Point Press is putting out an edition for the twee US population. For the record, the cover on this edition is HEINOUS. I shall scan it in at some point and link it in my next post so it can haunt your sleep as well. However, there is a picture of Sir David looking all cute and glazed eye on the back cover which well makes up for the front. I like how they act as if he still is the bass player for b&s instead of it being past tense. They also go into how b&s were voted the "Best British Newcomer" and called "the new Smiths" before they ever get around to mentioning Looper. Of course, they ended the whole blurb with how the book has been translated and received excellent reviews in both Italy and Germany so perhaps they were just desperate. I quite liked the orange book which I received from twee Dannypie, read, sighed, and promptly passed on to GayJay. This isn't confirmed but rumor has it that Jay sleeps with it under his pillow beside a stuffed Dalek which he received as a Christmas present back in 1989. Or at least this is the scenario which I like the best. The second book blip has to do with a new book written by Will Self which is a retelling of Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray with all of the original's characters mutated into modern day counterparts. Thus, Henry Wotton is an open homosexual with a nasty heroin habit and his protegee is a video artist. Naturally (or unnaturally I suppose), all of the three main characters are HIV positive and the novel is more of an examination on gay life as it "skewers" British society and is full of lines like, "I want my sins to be like sushi - fresh, small, and entirely raw." Personally, I don't ever plan to touch the book but the summary was my afternoon's amusement - mwahaha. Well, I'm at the bookshop now so I suppose I ought to get back to helping the dark eyed dwarven creatures from the underground who still brave the light of day in order to buy the new Robert Jordan book before they try something desperate to get my attention - like talk to me. Heaven forfend. xo, Ll ps - Don't trust Miss Maddie Minx for a second about her being busy with schoolwork. I know for a fact that whe she says "I have to spend all day on the computer typing my paper" she means "I have to spend all day being distracted from my paper by googling old boyfriends." pps - I made another roadtrip up north last week and stayed with Miss Laurel and Willzebub Porter in the lovely hamlet of Jersey City again. She didn't make me grout her bathroom, refurbish any of her furniture, or paint any rooms but it was still a cozy stay replete with fantastic chili which I had been craving all day. _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 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 at missprint.org.

I was in Frankfurt, Germany for THIRTY MINUTES! Such thrill has only been experienced the first time I've been to paradise, and then find out that I've never been to me. What am I talking about. But yeah I enjoyed it so much I plan to go and visit again in two week's time! This time I might even swallow a Frankfurter whole. Hey! That's not a Frankfurter as in someone who is from Frankfurt, just the jumbo sausage. 3. END UP IN HONG KONG ====================== After being crammed on a plane full of hottt girls (and of course I was surrounded not by the hottt girls but by three horrid men Mr Farter-Warter to my front, Mr I-Like-Leaning-Excessively-to-the-Right to my left and Mr I-Love-Fiddling-With-the-flip-out-table-aggressively on the seat behind, they have very descriptive last names!!), I got there in the end! And wow it's been fun, so much fun that I can't even mention now but maybe reporting back later... -- HK SINISTERS So it just leaves me to ask if there are any other Hong Kong sinisters around and if you fancy a pint or two! Think a few of us (er 3 so far) are maybe going out on sunday...

Message-ID: <20030130085531.12205.h027.c000.wm@mail.nme.com.criticalpath.net> Hey Sinisterians, Hope you're alright. I am. Sort of. Just very, very hungry, hadn't have any proper breakfast. When you're an indiekid, and I have to admit that I actually am one, having purchased new converse chuck taylor's only a week ago. Yesterday, I scored pretty high on the indiekid-fashion-scale: Jeans, black velvet jacket, home-made t-shirt with a print saying the libertines, and of course, my new shoes. Today, not quite as indie. Red nail polish and homemade bracelets sure, but just a striped top and a sort of track suit top on. Hmmm. have to improve wardrobe. My new English teacher is the best teacher I've ever had, I think. He's really cool. He drinks water out of a glass jar, and eat this weird porrage rightout of the package because he never have time to eat properly on the days when we have him. He's cool and arty. I really do like him. My "new" school, is full of one thing that keeps confusing me. Gorgeous men. And I'm not talking about the students here. I don't know why but there are like five or six really goodlooking men that teach here. Do you know how hard it is not getting crushes on all of them? Right. So I just have a crush on one of them, and flirt with the others. Man, I AM sick. But I'm a bit bored, a girl has to do SOMETHING! Stop looking at me accusingly..! ANYWAY. I've been in a musicvideo since the last time I was around here. It was a Swedish band called The Sounds, they're really big here. We got to dance in front of a camera for about six hours in a very small, crowded boiling hot room. it was great fun though, and I didn't do anything TOO embarrassing that showed in the video. The guy directing it was really funny. After we all danced the first time, we were all sort of nervous so everyone just jumped. The director comes out. "Ok guys, that looked good. just.. try not to look as dead fishes. ok?" www.vertigo.dot.nu, my page under construction. Only the first three things are finished though. But still. There are some pics there of me. Er.... if anyone cares. it's fun going to an English school. I really like calling people Mr and Mrs and Ms. It's so... ah... non-Swedish. In my old school we were so incredibly rude to the poor old teachers. It was like "OI! Help me now Janne! NOW!" here it's more "Um, excuse me Mr Theo, could you please help me?". It's so nice going all somewhere where people are polite. The funniest thing might be the principal, Mrs Bergström. She walks around saying "HELLOOOOO LADIIIIIES!" and if you're not looking like you might die out of stress she goes "You look RELAAAAXED" and then one of her weird smiles. Hmmmm. Anyway, won't take up more of your time now. Ahhh, It's good to be back. Someone has to make sure that the list is full of useless rambling. and that person is me! Take care darlinkos, Love and stars Astrid X P.S. Indiekidproblem: Indiegirls are supposed to only like pale indieboys. But what happens when indiegirl starts fancying very hunky p.e-teacher instead of pale scrawny indieboy? CONFUSION my dears. Ah. Problem #2 is that he heard me calling him "So fucking sexy that I just wanna jump him or something". Highly embarrassing. Sigh. Byebye now. --------------------------------------------------- Who would you rather be - Ted Danson or Kevin Costner? Fab: Who the fuck is Ted Dancer? Ted Danson. Fab: Oh, Danson.

First up, a hefty chunk of content. I was drinking in a pub while on holiday recently. In the corner of the pub stood at TV. The TV was tuned into Sky Channel, which shows all those lovely gentlemanly sports like boxing, wrestling, snooker and horse racing. All of a sudden my ears were pricked by a very familiar tune. "That's Belle and Sebastian!" I said loudishly. People looked at me blankly. I blushed. The music was coming from the telly, and I was kind of surprised to find that "Legal Man" was being used in an advert for a New Zealand horse racing show. How bizarre I thought. A few people have been writing about B&S songs recently. My favourite is "Beautiful" at the moment. The quietly strummed acoustic guitar, Stuart's lovely voice and the way it wavers ever so slightly at the end of the first chorus, the Robert Kirby-ish strings, and then the trumpet that makes me want to yell "hey everybody, come and listen to Belle and Sebastian with me!" Robin Stout said his Mum says "brill". My Mum has just started using the word "cool". It is a little disturbing. ~stine has a nice list of things to do. I share 3 of that list - learning to knit, wearing bracelets and reading Ulysses properly. My Mum has just showed me how to knit, so I am going to make a scarf for winter (which is still 5 months away for us Southern Hemispherites). I am going to accessorise more this year, mainly in the form of braclets and cufflinks. ian's idea of an ink polaroid day is great. i think the metric system is way better than the imperial system. i just got back to perth after a holiday in esperance. it was a grand holiday, with lots of swimming, sand-castle making, laziness, fishing, island hopping, reading and hiking. I made like Jack Kerouac and sprinted down a couple of mini-mountains. Japhy was right in saying that you can't fall of a mountain. The Go-Between's are playing in Perth on the 15th of February! I know a few of you Perth folk are going, so would anyone be interested in having a pre-gig picnic/pubnic? I'll even organise it if you like. Just let me know... i'm off for a haircut. terry --- here's what i think: http://naivetysucceeds.blogspot.com caitlin and terry's sinister recipe tree archives: http://www.joannou.net/topofthestairs/sinifood/ _____________________________________________________________ Get 25MB, POP3, Spam Filtering with LYCOS MAIL PLUS for $19.95/year. http://login.mail.lycos.com/brandPage.shtml?pageId=plus&ref=lmtplus +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.
